As a guy who has made a living in the network security business, and is really unhappy with the state of security on the Internet, I like to see proper security in the hands of real people.
The PayPal Security Key is exactly that. This key adds a second factor to the authentication process for your PayPal account. Instead of just relying on a fixed password to log into your PayPal account, you append a constantly changing passcode to it provided by the PayPal Security Key.
The PayPal Security Key is actually an RSA SecurID token. SecurID tokens are used by corporations everywhere to provide strong authentication to end users. I have to use my SecurID token a couple of times a day to keep my VPN connection to the office alive.
SecurID uses a hardware token with a value that changes every minute or so. The card is synchronized with a server, which validates the authentication attempt. So long as you do not lose this card, your authentication will be secure.
SecurID tokens come in a number of different shapes and sizes. The PayPal Security Key actually fits on your keyring. The one I use for work is about the shape of a credit card. It also contains a keypad on which I enter my own PIN, which hashes the PIN to a different value. The great thing is that the people that maintain the SecurID server don't even need to know my PIN. It just works. ;)


Jeffrey Epstein estate sued by another accuser: 'I still have flashbacks'
by Vandana RambaranA woman who said the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein raped her when she was as young as 17 is suing his estate for an unspecified amount of compensation for her injuries.
Teala Davies, 34, says Epstein raped and sexually assaulted her at his homes in New York, Paris, Florida, New Mexico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
“It took me a long time to break free from his mind control and abuse,” Davies said, according to a statement read by her attorney, Gloria Allred, at a news conference Thursday. “I still have flashbacks. It still hurts.”
Epstein was found dead in his jail cell at the Manhattan Correctional Facility in New York back in August.
Davies publicly attended a court hearing after Epstein died, along with other accusers, in a show of solidarity against him.
“I'm still a victim because I am fearful for my daughters and everyone's daughters. I'm fearful for their future in this world, where there are predators in power, a world where people can avoid justice if their pockets run deep enough,” Davies said at the August hearing.
Davies said she was coming forward again Thursday “to set an example and inspire all victims of sexual abuse to conquer their fear and tell someone.” She said she was freed from Epstein's abuse after she told him she was suffering from bulimia.
A magistrate judge in a Manhattan federal court urged lawyers for the estate and the victims to negotiate appropriate compensation for the women's' injuries.
Davies described herself as the “perfect victim” who endured abuse in part because of her difficult childhood that included being homeless for a year when she was 11-years-old.

CLICK HERE FOR THE FOX NEWS APP
Davies' suit came a day after another woman filed an anonymous lawsuit against Epstein's estate, claiming she was victimized when she was 16-years-old. The woman said she was an immigrant from a war-torn country who climbed to success as a model for major fashion magazines in New York when she met Epstein in 2004.
The woman said he sexually assaulted her repeatedly, causing her to quit modeling and become suicidal, according to the lawsuit.

This page provides an overview of internationalization enhancements in Java SE Development Kit 6 (JDK):
To enable plug-in of locale sensitive data (e.g., date format
strings) and services (e.g., date formatters), some Service
Provider Interfaces (SPIs) for locale-sensitive classes in the
java.text
and java.util
packages have
been added. These SPIs make it much easier for developers to
provide support of more locales in addition to the
currently available locales in Java SE. For example, your own
implementation of BreakIterator
for Chinese could become available through the
BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance
factory in the Java
runtime.
The new java.text.Normalizer
class supports the Unicode text normalization defined in Unicode Standard
Annex #15.
The new java.net.IDN
class provides Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) support based
on RFC 3490, 3491, 3454, and 3492.
A new Calendar
implementation has been added to
support the Japanese imperial era-based year numbering, such as
Heisei 17 for 2005 (Gregorian). An instance of this Japanese
imperial calendar can be created through the
Calendar.getInstance
factory by specifying a
Locale("ja", "JP", "JP")
. The java.text.SimpleDateFormat
class now supports calendar specific eras and date formats for
non-Gregorian calendar systems. Refer to the Supported Calendars documentation for
details.
ResourceBundle
EnhancementsThe new nested java.util.ResourceBundle.Control
class has been added to give applications more control over the
resource bundle loading process. The class defines a set of
callback methods that are invoked by the
ResourceBundle.getBundle
factory during the resource
bundle loading. Applications can override those callback methods to
change the factory method behavior.
The following locales are now available.
zh_SG
- Chinese (Simplified), Singaporeen_MT
- English, Maltaen_PH
- English, Philippinesen_SG
- English, Singaporeel_CY
- Greek, Cyprusid_ID
- Indonesian, Indonesiaga_IE
- Irish, Irelandms_MY
- Malay, Malaysiamt_MT
- Maltese, Maltapt_BR
- Portuguese, Brazilpt_PT
- Portuguese, Portugales_US
- Spanish, United StatesRefer to the Supported Locales documentation for details.
The keyboard related AWT code has been re-architected to fix various problems on key input in non-English locales for Solaris and Linux operating systems.


Username, passwords and groups together with the additional parameters are managed in 4 tabs:
If you don't want to use the default password policy (see Setting a Password Policy), you can define in this tab a different password policy, marking "Use the policy below" and setting the appropriate elements. You may also select your own set of symbols to use when generating a password contaning them. You may also set this list for the whole database via "Manage → Options → Password Policy" tab and override it for specific entries. Note: the internal "Easy-Vision" symbol list will be used for all Easy-Vision and Pronounceable generated passwords.


Riot.JS Components
Riot.JS components in Frontless are rendered on server and browser in the same way. However, working with javascript on server side is different in many ways. It is easy to get shot in the leg or open a security vulnerability. In this section we outline some things that need more attention when writing components for server.
Shared access to the variables
The main difference between server and browser javascript is that a browser application is intended to use by a single user when a process of server application is used by many clients. Therefore, the memory alocated inside a node.js process can be shared between clients. It's simple to avoid related issues by following this simple rules:
Rule #1: Never use global variables in application logic
Once a global variable is changed - all clients will be affected by it. Consider following over-simplificated example:
var language = 'en'
app.get('/set-language', (req, res)=> {
language = 'de'
res.end()
})
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.render('view', {language,})
})
The result of this logic would be that all users would see pages in laguage set by the last user. Even though it would be acceptable for a browser application you should never do it in node.js
.
Rule #2: Avoid module caching in Riot.JS components
Module caching in javascript is a way to avoid multiple execution every time you import a module. While it brings a great performance benefit it is not what we would wanted to use when we work with UI. Consider following example:
BAD:
//an alert component
export default {
state: {
open: false
},
open(){
this.update({open: true})
}
}
We export an object it gets cached by node.js then after a client calls open()
all users would see an open alert because the state was changed globaly.
In fact, this issue is also true for pure browser application - when an application has more than one alert
component the first call would change initial state for all of them.
In order to avoid this behaviour, export a function that returns a new component instance:
GOOD:
export default () => ({
state: {
open: false
},
open(){
this.update({open: true})
}
})
Which is equal to:
class Component {}
export default () => new Component()
Global Objects
1. HTML Document
On the server side there is no a window
object and we cannot mutate node.js
globals when rendering UI.
However, at the runtime the document
object works the same way as in browser. Every time the server renders markup it creates
a new document
instance which is only acessible in current rendering task. Therefore, it can be used inside Riot.JS components.
2. Redux Store
Fronless makes use of frontless-redux plugin to provide a global store and action dispatcher.
Security
Frontless is an isomorphic stack, which means, the Riot.JS components are rendered on both sides - server and client. With that in mind, the application UI must not include sensitive variables used on backend because the user interface share the code with browser environment.

Scope the preliminary work
This process will help ensure you develop a quality business case within the required timeframes of the decision makers.
Play description
Understand what you will need to do and how long it is likely to take.
Work backwards from milestone dates you need to meet to develop the business case. Be aware of any timing or requirements that is specific to your organisation. Ensure you set up review points, and allocate realistic time for feedback, including from external stakeholders. Establishing milestones is a good way to mark the progress of your business case.
Milestones are also helpful for identifying elements that depend on other business case components.
Key activities
Understand the ‘when’
Plan for the relevant dates and work backwards to ensure you have the right review points in place. Your government or organisation may have set dates for business case approvals. Much of your work should be possible in parallel but be aware of any timing that depends on other components.
Understand the ‘how’
Find out if your organisation or government has an established process to assess and approve business cases. This can vary depending on the size and complexity of the business case. For example, the Australian Government requires a two-stage review process to create confidence that they are choosing the best option for a digital or ICT investment.
Know the objectives of your organisation
Your business case must align to the objectives of your organisation. Define the objectives clearly and describe how your plan will incorporate them into your approach and outcomes.
Know the priorities of your government
Identify relevant policies and priorities (especially those relating to digital transformation and the government’s use of digital and ICT). Align your options and implementation approach to the priorities to strengthen your business case.
Questions to consider
- When do you need to submit the business case for decision?
- What is your plan to meet that timeframe?
- Who needs to sponsor and review your business case?
- How will you structure and develop your business case?
- What requirements does your government have for business cases?
- Who can you seek advice from on the business case process and content?
- Is there an organisational or whole of government approach to solution architecture or design that you need to consider?
- How can you learn about your users? Form hypotheses and test ideas?
Resources
The Little Book of Digital (Australia) – This handbook describes some basic concepts and shares some ideas on the best ways to start digital transformation in your organisation including establishing a multidisciplinary team and adopting user-centred design to create better results.

GTK+ has a rich set of functions for doing inter-process communication via the drag-and-drop metaphor.
As well as the functions listed here, applications may need to use some facilities provided for Selections. Also, the Drag and Drop API makes use of signals in the GtkWidget class.
void gtk_drag_dest_set (GtkWidget *widget
,GtkDestDefaults flags
,const GtkTargetEntry *targets
,gint n_targets
,GdkDragAction actions
);
Sets a widget as a potential drop destination, and adds default behaviors.
The default behaviors listed in flags
have an effect similar
to installing default handlers for the widget’s drag-and-drop signals
(“drag-motion”, “drag-drop”, ...). They all exist
for convenience. When passing GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_ALL for instance it is
sufficient to connect to the widget’s “drag-data-received”
signal to get primitive, but consistent drag-and-drop support.
Things become more complicated when you try to preview the dragged data,
as described in the documentation for “drag-motion”. The default
behaviors described by flags
make some assumptions, that can conflict
with your own signal handlers. For instance GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_DROP causes
invokations of gdk_drag_status()
in the context of “drag-motion”,
and invokations of gtk_drag_finish()
in “drag-data-received”.
Especially the later is dramatic, when your own “drag-motion”
handler calls gtk_drag_get_data()
to inspect the dragged data.
There’s no way to set a default action here, you can use the “drag-motion” callback for that. Here’s an example which selects the action to use depending on whether the control key is pressed or not:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
static void drag_motion (GtkWidget *widget, GdkDragContext *context, gint x, gint y, guint time) { GdkModifierType mask; gdk_window_get_pointer (gtk_widget_get_window (widget), NULL, NULL, &mask); if (mask & GDK_CONTROL_MASK) gdk_drag_status (context, GDK_ACTION_COPY, time); else gdk_drag_status (context, GDK_ACTION_MOVE, time); } |

);
gtk_drag_dest_set_proxy
has been deprecated since version 3.22 and should not be used in newly-written code.
Sets this widget as a proxy for drops to another window.
[method]
void
gtk_drag_dest_unset (GtkWidget *widget
);
Clears information about a drop destination set with
gtk_drag_dest_set()
. The widget will no longer receive
notification of drags.
[method]
GdkAtom gtk_drag_dest_find_target (GtkWidget *widget
,GdkDragContext *context
,GtkTargetList *target_list
);
Looks for a match between the supported targets of context
and the
dest_target_list
, returning the first matching target, otherwise
returning GDK_NONE
. dest_target_list
should usually be the return
value from gtk_drag_dest_get_target_list()
, but some widgets may
have different valid targets for different parts of the widget; in
that case, they will have to implement a drag_motion handler that
passes the correct target list to this function.

gtk_drag_dest_get_target_list (GtkWidget *widget
);
Returns the list of targets this widget can accept from drag-and-drop.
[method]
void gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list (GtkWidget *widget
,GtkTargetList *target_list
);
Sets the target types that this widget can accept from drag-and-drop.
The widget must first be made into a drag destination with
gtk_drag_dest_set()
.
[method]
void
gtk_drag_dest_add_text_targets (GtkWidget *widget
);
Add the text targets supported by GtkSelectionData to
the target list of the drag destination. The targets
are added with info
= 0. If you need another value,
use gtk_target_list_add_text_targets()
and
gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list()
.
[method]
Since: 2.6
void
gtk_drag_dest_add_image_targets (GtkWidget *widget
);
Add the image targets supported by GtkSelectionData to
the target list of the drag destination. The targets
are added with info
= 0. If you need another value,
use gtk_target_list_add_image_targets()
and
gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list()
.
[method]
Since: 2.6
void
gtk_drag_dest_add_uri_targets (GtkWidget *widget
);
Add the URI targets supported by GtkSelectionData to
the target list of the drag destination. The targets
are added with info
= 0. If you need another value,
use gtk_target_list_add_uri_targets()
and
gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list()
.
[method]
Since: 2.6
void gtk_drag_dest_set_track_motion (GtkWidget *widget
,gboolean track_motion
);
Tells the widget to emit “drag-motion” and
“drag-leave” events regardless of the targets and the
GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_MOTION
flag.
This may be used when a widget wants to do generic actions regardless of the targets that the source offers.
[method]
Since: 2.10
gboolean
gtk_drag_dest_get_track_motion (GtkWidget *widget
);
Returns whether the widget has been configured to always emit “drag-motion” signals.

void gtk_drag_get_data (GtkWidget *widget
,GdkDragContext *context
,GdkAtom target
,guint32 time_
);
Gets the data associated with a drag. When the data
is received or the retrieval fails, GTK+ will emit a
“drag-data-received” signal. Failure of the retrieval
is indicated by the length field of the selection_data
signal parameter being negative. However, when gtk_drag_get_data()
is called implicitely because the GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_DROP
was set,
then the widget will not receive notification of failed
drops.

GtkWidget *
gtk_drag_get_source_widget (GdkDragContext *context
);
Determines the source widget for a drag.
[method]
if the drag is occurring
within a single application, a pointer to the source widget.
Otherwise, NULL
.
[nullable][transfer none]
void
gtk_drag_highlight (GtkWidget *widget
);
Highlights a widget as a currently hovered drop target.
To end the highlight, call gtk_drag_unhighlight()
.
GTK+ calls this automatically if GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_HIGHLIGHT
is set.
[method]
void
gtk_drag_unhighlight (GtkWidget *widget
);
Removes a highlight set by gtk_drag_highlight()
from
a widget.
[method]
GdkDragContext * gtk_drag_begin (GtkWidget *widget
,GtkTargetList *targets
,GdkDragAction actions
,gint button
,GdkEvent *event
);
gtk_drag_begin
has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code.
Use gtk_drag_begin_with_coordinates()
instead
This function is equivalent to gtk_drag_begin_with_coordinates()
,
passing -1, -1 as coordinates.

GdkDragContext * gtk_drag_begin_with_coordinates (GtkWidget *widget
,GtkTargetList *targets
,GdkDragAction actions
,gint button
,GdkEvent *event
,gint x
,gint y
);
Initiates a drag on the source side. The function only needs to be used
when the application is starting drags itself, and is not needed when
gtk_drag_source_set()
is used.
The event
is used to retrieve the timestamp that will be used internally to
grab the pointer. If event
is NULL
, then GDK_CURRENT_TIME
will be used.
However, you should try to pass a real event in all cases, since that can be
used to get information about the drag.
Generally there are three cases when you want to start a drag by hand by calling this function:
During a “button-press-event” handler, if you want to start a drag
immediately when the user presses the mouse button. Pass the event
that you have in your “button-press-event” handler.
During a “motion-notify-event” handler, if you want to start a drag
when the mouse moves past a certain threshold distance after a button-press.
Pass the event
that you have in your “motion-notify-event” handler.
During a timeout handler, if you want to start a drag after the mouse
button is held down for some time. Try to save the last event that you got
from the mouse, using gdk_event_copy()
, and pass it to this function
(remember to free the event with gdk_event_free()
when you are done).
If you can really not pass a real event, pass NULL instead.

void
gtk_drag_cancel (GdkDragContext *context
);
Cancels an ongoing drag operation on the source side.
If you want to be able to cancel a drag operation in this way,
you need to keep a pointer to the drag context, either from an
explicit call to gtk_drag_begin_with_coordinates()
, or by
connecting to “drag-begin”.
If context
does not refer to an ongoing drag operation, this
function does nothing.
If a drag is cancelled in this way, the result
argument of
“drag-failed” is set to GTK_DRAG_RESULT_ERROR
.

The price of Nokia 2.2 slashed in India
by MarinNokia 2.2 is a nicely built and affordable entry smartphone. Its price has been reduced additionally in India, and it has now become a bargain. The price of the 2/16GB version is not lowered to 5999 INR, or about €75. The 3/32Gb version is now set to 6999 INR, which is approximately €88. The current price of 2.2 brings in question whether it is even necessary to sell feature phones in India. Nokia 2.2 does seem a better choice than Nokia 2720 or Nokia 8110. Nokia Mobile is usually lowering the prices when they are ready to launch a new version of the phone, so Nokia 2.3 might be just around the corner.
You can grab the Nokia 2.2 at a new price right from the official Nokia store. Definitely inform yourself about the offer before you do the purchase.

Teaching R to 5th graders-Middle Schoolers during the weekend has been both enlightening and humbling.
Enlightening because kids understand data with context far better than adults; perhaps because they are not encumbered by the Big Data
noise and always prefer visualization over text. I’ve learned to work within the limits of their attention span (so lots of breaks) and interest, cultivating a continuous learning environment versus a competitive one, a “We” versus an “I” approach, and “humbleness” in place “arrogance”.
I, and the 5th graders/Middle Schoolers, would like to thank RStudio (Garrett Grolemund, J.J. Allaire, Hadley Wickham, Roger Oberg) and Datacamp (Nick Carchedi, Jonathan Cornelissen) for their kindness and all the help, encouragement and support in Tara’s and Ben’s journey to learning R. Thank you so much.

Determine if the Docker credentials archive upload path specified above is shared among all the agents.
To ease the shared files access, we may create share file storage for all the DC/OS agent nodes as this documentation (Create and mount a file share to a DC/OS cluster) suggests. With the help of the shared storage, we only need to upload the Docker credentials archive to the shared storage once, and all the agent nodes get the access to the resource immediately.
Check this option if the Docker credentials archive upload path is a shared storage path.

DPF3 Part 1: Correcting poor initial geometry¶
Introduction¶
The following example uses a dataset kindly provided by Wolfram Tempel, which was collected at beamline 19-ID at the APS. This dataset is available for download from .
This is a challenging dataset to process. There are a combination of problems, including:
- A ‘reversed’ rotation axis
- Incorrect beam centre recorded in the image headers
- Split spots
- Multiple lattices
- Systematically weak spots that may correspond to pseudocentring
Despite these issues, the diffraction data is of reasonable quality and was used to solve the structure after processing by XDS.
In the first part of this tutorial we will look at how to use the DIALS toolkit to address the poor initial model for the experimental geometry, which leads to problems with indexing. The first listed problem, namely the inverted rotation axis, is trivially dealt with. However the incorrect beam centre is particularly pernicious in this case. Rather than resulting in an outright failure to process, we instead obtain an incorrect indexing solution. If we were being careless, this could have lead to the integration of a useless data set.
This tutorial is a cautionary tale, the moral of which is that the user should employ the diagnostic tools at their disposal and to think about the output of the programs they run.
Import¶
The dataset consists of a tar archive of bz2-compressed images. DIALS can read the compressed images directly, however we need to extract the archive first:
tar xvf DPF3_247398.tar
At this point we have no reason not to trust the image headers. We shall just go ahead and import the whole sweep as normal:
dials.import x247398/t1.0*.img.bz2
This produces the file datablock.json
, containing an initial model for
the beamline geometry. You can inspect this model using dials.show:
dials.show datablock.json
Note how the goniometer rotation axis is given by {-1,0,0}
rather than
{1,0,0}
. This is because DIALS recognises that these images as being
from beamline 19-ID at the APS, which is known to have an inverted axis of
rotation compared with the more common direction. Settings such as inverse
\(\phi\), or vertical goniometers, can be the cause of problems with
processing data from currently unrecognised beamlines. As an aside, in such
a case we could force the rotation axis to be whatever we want like this:
dials.import x247398/t1.0*.img.bz2 geometry.goniometer.axes=-1,0,0
Now that we have imported the data we should look at the images:
dials.image_viewer datablock.json
Keen-eyed observers may already suspect that the beam centre is not correct, however we shall continue through spot-finding as this is not affected by the experimental geometry.
Find Spots¶
Spot-finding in DIALS usually works well for Pilatus detectors, where default assumptions about Poisson statistics of pixel counts, unity gain and no point spread are accurate. These assumptions are not correct for CCD detectors and this can be another source of problems with data processing.
To see the positions of strong pixels identified by the spot finding
algorithm, select the threshold
button at the bottom of the image
viewer’s Settings
window. In this case, the default settings are not too
bad: the strong pixels clearly follow the diffraction pattern. However there
is a little bit of noise between the diffraction spots and along some of the
detector module edges. We can try altering the spot finding settings to
improve the threshold map. In this case, setting the Gain
to 2.0
seems sufficient to clean up some of the spurious peak positions. The gain
setting we select here will only affect spot finding and not other stages of
processing. Our focus here is empirical. We want to produce a good spot list
for indexing, we are not worried about setting the detector gain to its true
value (for an ADSC Q315r detector this is reported to be about 2.4 ADU per
12 keV X-ray).
Once we are satisfied with the spot-finding settings we can write them out
to find_spots.phil
by clicking the Save
button on the
Settings
window. Then we can pass this directly to
dials.find_spots, where we also request more than one process
to speed the job up (feel free to set this greater than 4, if appropriate):
dials.find_spots datablock.json find_spots.phil nproc=4
After finding strong spots it is always worth viewing them using dials.reciprocal_lattice_viewer:
dials.reciprocal_lattice_viewer datablock.json strong.pickle
Presented with this view, we might already start to worry that something is not quite right. Instead of neat columns of points corresponding to a regular reciprocal lattice grid, the points are aligned in curved or even spiral tracks. Extreme cases of this may indicate something grossly wrong, like an inverted \(\phi\) direction. In this instance the lattice is still detectable, but distorted. We understand this as inaccurate mapping from detector to reciprocal space. If the diffraction geometry model is wrong, then dials.reciprocal_lattice_viewer cannot calculate the reciprocal lattice position for each centroid properly. This can cause problems with indexing because that requires exactly the same step of mapping centroid positions from detector to reciprocal space.
Notwithstanding these concerns, we press on into indexing.
Indexing¶
dials.index datablock.json strong.pickle
It turns out that the reciprocal lattice positions were regular enough for indexing to complete (‘succeed’ is the wrong word, as will become clear). Remember that initial indexing uses fairly low resolution data only. At low resolution the curved tracks of spots are straight enough to fit a lattice. Macrocycles of refinement then extend the solution out to increasingly high resolution. One might imagine this process as steps of unwarping the distorted lattice from the centre outwards until a regular grid is formed. Here’s some output from the end of the indexing log:
RMSDs by experiment:
--------------------------------------------
| Exp | Nref | RMSD_X | RMSD_Y | RMSD_Z |
| id | | (px) | (px) | (images) |
--------------------------------------------
| 0 | 13301 | 0.7553 | 1.0663 | 0.50806 |
--------------------------------------------
Refined crystal models:
model 1 (16384 reflections):
Crystal:
Unit cell: (113.857, 115.036, 122.851, 89.645, 89.771, 60.615)
Space group: P 1
This is another point at which the experienced user may pause for thought. Positional RMSDs of 0.76 and 1.1 pixels are rather bad. Good models typically have values around 0.3 pixels or less. Split spots or other issues with spot profiles may result in higher RMSDs for a solution that is still correct, however we should always remain sceptical. Looking at the results in dials.reciprocal_lattice_viewer is instructive as ever:
dials.reciprocal_lattice_viewer experiments.json indexed.pickle
Refinement has done what it could to produce a regular lattice, but it is still messy. We also see that the majority of the centroids remain unindexed, and these are messier still.
At this point we should definitely heed the warnings and try to figure out what happened and how to fix it. However, unfortunately a careless user could go ahead and integrate with this model. Let’s see what happens if we try to refine compatible Bravais lattices:
dials.refine_bravais_settings experiments.json indexed.pickle

It turns out that quite a few lattices can be forced to fit the putative
indexing solution, but again there are warnings everywhere that imply none
of these are right. First look at the Metric fit
column. This value is
the Le Page \(\delta\)
value. For a correct indexing solution with a good dataset this should be a
small number, less than 0.1 say, such as in the
Processing in Detail (Thaumatin) tutorial. The rmsd
column reports an
overall positional RMSD. Again, small numbers are better. Typically we would
look for a solution below a jump to higher values of RMSD. Here they are all
pretty bad, at around an order of magnitude larger than what we’d expect
from good data. Another clear indication that none of the symmetry operations
implied by the higher symmetry lattices is correct is given by the min/max
cc
column. This reports the lowest and highest correlation coefficients
between the rough spot-finding intensities of subsets of reflections related
by symmetry elements of the lattice
. For a real solution without rather
extreme radiation damage or other scaling issues we would expect much larger
numbers than these, say >0.5 or so for both the min
and max
values.
Check indexing symmetry¶
The fact that none of the correlation coefficients is high is a hint that although the spots we indexed may indeed be real, perhaps the indices are shifted by some value. This would be equivalent to the beam centre latching onto some very low resolution Bragg reflection rather than the direct beam \(hkl = (0,0,0)\). DIALS offers a tool to check this. If we run:
dials.check_indexing_symmetry experiments.json indexed.pickle grid=1
then all combinations of off-by-one offsets in \(h\), \(k\) and \(l\) will be checked by testing correlation coefficients between sets of reflections related by symmetry. Here the model crystal symmetry is \(P 1\), so we are testing only the Friedel pairs. The results are printed as a table in the output:
Checking HKL origin:
dH dK dL Nref CC
-1 -1 -1 3834 0.255
-1 -1 0 3808 0.288
-1 -1 1 3624 0.306
-1 0 -1 3932 0.261
-1 0 0 3952 0.291
-1 0 1 3829 0.310
-1 1 -1 3800 0.171
-1 1 0 3925 0.230
-1 1 1 4011 0.316
0 0 0 1538 -0.127
1 -1 -1 4028 0.357
1 -1 0 3966 0.323
1 -1 1 3916 0.247
1 0 -1 4086 0.292
1 0 0 4246 0.387
1 0 1 4210 0.356
1 1 -1 4090 0.339
1 1 0 4474 0.389
1 1 1 5616 0.948
Check symmetry operations on 16384 reflections:
Symop Nref CC
x,y,z 16384 0.999
In this case there is a much greater correlation coefficient for the shift \(\delta h=1\), \(\delta k=1\) and \(\delta l=1\) than for all others. In fact with 95% correlation even in the unscaled, rough intensities of the found spots, with no background subtraction, we can be very sure we have found the right solution.
Although it is possible to apply the correction using dials.reindex like this:
dials.reindex indexed.pickle hkl_offset=1,1,1
it will be very difficult to take the result and continue to process the data. There is a much better way to proceed.
Discover better experimental model¶
We have determined that there is a problem with indexing, which gives us a mis-indexed solution. The typical culprit in such cases is a badly wrong beam centre. DIALS provides the dials.search_beam_position, which can help out here. This performs a grid search to improve the direct beam position using the methods originally implemented in LABELIT.
This sits in between the spot finding and the indexing operations, so that we could have done:
dials.search_beam_position strong.pickle datablock.json n_macro_cycles=2
In particularly bad cases it may useful to perform this search iteratively. Here we requested two macrocyles, though we see from the concise, yet informative output that most of the shift occurred in the the first of these (and in fact only the first was necessary):
Starting macro cycle 1
Selecting subset of 10000 reflections for analysis
Running DPS using 10000 reflections
Found 9 solutions with max unit cell 164.81 Angstroms.

New beam centre: 162.31, 153.39 mm (1585.0, 1498.0 px)
Shift: -2.33, 1.11 mm (-22.7, 10.8 px)
Starting macro cycle 2

Running DPS using 10000 reflections
Found 5 solutions with max unit cell 104.76 Angstroms.
Old beam centre: 162.31, 153.39 mm (1585.0, 1498.0 px)

Shift: 0.00, 0.07 mm (0.0, 0.7 px)
Indexing with the corrected beam centre¶
dials.index optimized_datablock.json strong.pickle
We now have a more convincing solution, which also indexes many more reflections:

---------------------------------------------
| Exp | Nref | RMSD_X | RMSD_Y | RMSD_Z |
| id | | (px) | (px) | (images) |

We may now go on to refine the solution and integrate, following the steps outlined in the Processing in Detail (Thaumatin) tutorial. This is left as an exercise for the reader. If you do so, you will notice warnings from both Pointless and cTruncate. You can continue to solve the structure in the primitive orthorhombic lattice, however model refinement will present difficulties.
Could we have foreseen this difficulties as early as the indexing step in DIALS? Can we circumvent them? These are the topics explored in the second part of this tutorial at DPF3 Part 2: A question of centring.
 You will encounter these.
- When beam centre problems are suspected, try dials.search_beam_position.
- dials.reciprocal_lattice_viewer and dials.image_viewer are excellent troubleshooting tools for all sorts of spot finding and indexing problems.
- Some issues manifest as outright failures in indexing, others are more insidious and may result in a misindexed solution.
- Look out for CCs to detect misindexed data, and remember dials.check_indexing_symmetry.
- Always use the diagnostic tools!

Bro Sammy speaks on sleeping with Akuapem Poloo in Kumasi rumors
by RASHADFor the first time, Brother Sammy has reacted to rumors that he slept with Akuapem Poloo in Kumasi during the shoot of the ‘Baby Mama’
According to Brother in an interview on Brunch2Lunch Entertainment on Radio Universe, he never slept with Akuapem Poloo as rumored.
Brother Sammy wandered why Ghanaians will accuse him of sleeping with only Akuapem Poloo when there were many women on set during the movie shoot.
He denied ever sleeping with Akuapem Poloo his entire life and stated boldly it such accusations that force people to sin. Meaning he was tempted to curse people who made the allegation.
Brother Sammy said:
“Everybody wake up and say whatever they want in Ghana. There were many women on the set so why will they make this allegation of me sleeping with only Akuapem Poloo.” he quizzed.
 There is no truth in that,” Brother Sammy lamented.
Few days after the shoot of Baby Mama produced by Tracey Boakye, Xandy Kamel who was on set alleged that Akuapem Poloo slept with Brother Sammy.
She claimed that Akuapem Poloo sneaked into Brother Sammy’s house to sleep with him.
Quickly, Poloo came out to denied and explained she was invited to shoot a commercial for Brother Sammy.

Both Akuapem Poloo and Xandy Kamel exchanged curses. Even Xandy poured alcohol and invoked curses on Akuapem Poloo.

Saving Private Ryan
Chad'z rating: **** (out of 4 = excellent)
1998, R, 170 minutes [2 hours, 50 minutes]
[drama]
starring: Tom Hanks (Captain Miller); Tom Sizemore (Sergeant Horvath), Edward Burns (Private Reiben), Jeremy Davies (Corporal Upham); written by Robert Rodat; produced by Ian Bryce, Mark Gordon, Gary Levinsohn; Steven Spielberg; directed by Steven Spielberg.
Seen August 8, 1998 at 6 p.m. at Rotterdam Square Cinemas (Rotterdam, NY), theater #6, by myself for free using my Sony/Loews critic's pass. [theater rating: ***: good seats, sound, and picture]
War is a topic that can't help but be glorified any way it is portrayed by the media. Movies, documentaries, and even history books have a way of making the darker side of humanity exciting since the most general aspects are focused on, such as strategy, politics, and victory. It's easy to forget war, in its most basic form, is a battle of armies out to slaughter each other. Forgotten more easily is the fact that each soldier, no matter what his rank or importance, is a real flesh-and-blood person and not just a number. "Saving Private Ryan" is one of the few films that dares play up this aspect, especially in its unapologetic, realistic delivery. It proves there's a huge difference between battling and killing.
The film opens with one of the most graphic, disturbing scenes in recent memory. It's World War II, D-Day to be exact, and the U.S. military is invading Omaha Beach where the Nazis are more than ready for them. Spielberg uses many techniques to create for a total sense of reality. Instead of positioned cameras, the footage here seems to have been shot by camera operators running alongside soldiers as if they were just as scared. There is no sense of stability, but of constant, anxious, and confusing motion, giving us the feeling of being in the middle of the battle, and just a vulnerable as the poor troops.
 There is little to no dialogue throughout the loud battle and no prologue to define any characters. We don't get the feeling these are handsome actors playing heroic roles, but that these are men about to kill and be killed for reasons beyond their understanding. The Nazis are not portrayed as enemies to be hated, but as people that must be destroyed because they're there.
In the movies, the good guys can run through a firestorm of bullets and bombs and not get a scratch, but in reality that wouldn't happen. The men have nothing to shield or protect them besides some metal flanks and dead bodies. They are sitting ducks and we realize this through the perspective of the well-secured Germans who can actually see who, what, and where they're shooting, unlike the Americans who must fire in a general direction to avoid getting their heads blown off.
Perhaps the film is flawed by not providing any backstory on the war itself and who the men really are, but that seems to be part of the theme. The film seems to rely on the audience's sense of patriotism, that the American military is "right" and good and that the Nazis are "inherently evil." The battle scene eventually focuses on a group of men who have miraculously survived and made their way close to the enemy stronghold (a whole 50-foot progression), and begin to inflict some damage. I have to admit that once the first glimpse of victory over the Nazis sprang up, I couldn't help but feel some sense of joy and relief. To triumph against all odds is a cliche to be sure, but there's nothing cliche about the graphic, detailed, atmosphere here because it really happened.
One of the most surprising aspects of the film is how little story construction there is, and yet the events that take place make sense and are interesting. The plot is practically irrelevant since the film is more concerned with the reality of the war and the soldiers we meet. Tom Hanks stars as Captain Miller, a relatively average man who happens to be the leader of a platoon. He's never obsessive or any such generic, cartoonish characteristic that might dominate a character like this. He doesn't want to be there any more than his men, but when he is given a mission he intends to carry it out. The mission the film is concerned with is, as the title states, saving Private Ryan.
Through a series of command started by an ordinary clerical worker, it is brought to a general's attention that three brothers from Iowa have been killed in action and their mother will receive notices of each's death simultaneously. When they learn a fourth brother is stationed somewhere in Europe, they make it a top priority to have him returned safely to his mother. It's easy to sympathize with this situation, after all, no one should have to lose all their children at once. But finding one man in this war is, as Miller puts it, "Like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles."
The saving of Private Ryan isn't just a dramatic device, but a thematic one. His salvation represents the sense of innocence the country, the world even, was trying to convince itself it still had. When Miller's company hears of the mission, they scoff at the idea assuming he is dead, but Miller isn't so quick to shrug it off. He knows the only thing that can really save soldiers from death is hope, and now he has the opportunity to make someone's sense of hope a reality.
The mission to find Ryan gives Miller's group a destination, but not direction. Along the way many things happen to them, both good and bad. A few battles are fought, not to be major accomplishments for the war, but because they encounter German soldiers and have no other choice. The act of killing itself becomes one of the film's major philosophical metaphors.
Unfortunately, death is a fact of war, and most films try to avoid it when it comes to the main characters, but here Spielberg doesn't want us to think these men are invincible. In fact, only a small amount of color and personality is sketched into each man, and the performances are good enough to make this method work. Although the characters are somewhat typical, the actors maintain control over the material at all time. Whether they're arguing with each other, telling stories of back home, or fighting the Germans, they never go overboard and always seem believable. Sure, there's a zinger here and there, but war doesn't change the fact boys will be boys. If and when one dies we too can feel the loss, even though we hardly knew them.
The final act brings the story full circle with another tremendous, violent battle sequence. Private Ryan has been found, but facing four to one odds, can the Americans defeat the Germans and keep Ryan alive? That's not a premise for thrills, it's symbolic of everything the film has worked for. It would be wrong to say the film has either a happy or sad ending, it ends the way it must end.
I remember reading a "Calvin & Hobbes" comic strip where Calvin asked his dad something like, "Dad, how do armies of men killing each other solve problems?" "Saving Private Ryan" is the adult version of that question.

Review: Transformers Classic Animation Optimus Prime and Megatron
by Luke Y. ThompsonTransformers fans come in many stripes. A lot of collectors think the IDW comics are best. Beast Wars commands fierce loyalty. And even the Michael Bay movies now have adult fans who were kids when the first one came out (yes, eleven years have passed there). But most can trace it back to Generation 1, and the ’80s cartoon that introduced Peter Cullen as the classic voice of Optimus Prime. We know it’s not exactly “good” in many ways, but those voice actors led by Cullen commanded our attention. And now they all spark our nostalgic love. Numerous Hasbro releases can qualify as “Transformers classic,” but this year, in time for the holidays, Optimus and arch-enemy Megatron get a classic animation makeover.
War for Cybertron began as a kind of ultimate Transformers line, going back to classic designs but with extra detail, articulation, and a play theme set before the robots come to Earth. So Megatron and Optimus in robot modes were already meant to look like super-detailed versions of those Generation 1 designs anyway. For the 35th anniversary editions, which are Walmart exclusives, they received a repaint to look like they popped straight off an animation cel. No fan would have any doubt, looking at them, who they are. Nor do they include any details like the controversial flames added by Bay to give Optimus a ribcage design effect.

Due to various laws passed since the ’80s, Megatron cannot legally change into a realistic gun any more. But at least in his robot mode, vestigial elements of the gun transformation remain. His chest looks very much like a chamber, for example. And the arm cannon certainly looks like a Walther sight.
As robots, these toys are great. Arms and legs sport full articulation, with rocker ankles and necks that go back and forth, side to side. Megatron’s sword can become a cannon, and Optimus’ ax can become…an extra gas can, I think? It folds up, anyway. The animation style light ripples add a real cel-shading feel, though we should note this deco only appears on the front of the figures, and not the back.

The transformations, however, are another story. This is the part where you get reminded that they aren’t actually the Generation 1 versions. Optimus isn’t an Earth truck any more than Megatron resembles a real military tank. The Decepticon leader, as has been his wont of late, mostly looks like Megatron parts squished and reformed into a tank shape it barely holds. Optimus at least gives a convincing cab, but the back of his truck looks like what it is. Two robot legs stretched out.
Look at both from behind and the robot legs are obvious. That is fine on Cybertron, where the alt-mode is to get around quickly and not expected to fool anyone. But it’s not the alternate forms these “animation” designs might lead one to expect.
Still, Transformers toys would disappoint if they couldn’t transform into something. That they have vehicle forms at all is psychologically comforting somehow, even if I’ll never transform them again. Now, as action figures, they do much better. Capturing the feel of a cartoon without dumbing down the detail is rare nowadays, and these guys manage it. They look like the animation while maintaining a level of detail that improves on the drawings and fits in with other toy-first Transformers.
If you’re looking for a similar Optimus with a more realistic truck mode, the Bumblebee movie Studio Series figures is the one. But it’s not in cartoon colors, exactly. The white thighs might make all the difference. It’s up to the buyer to decide if these are worthy of $30 or so apiece. If you seek a gift for the ’80s nostalgic individual in your life, however, these feel like sure things.

Logan's speech and Jefferson's comments, excerpted from Query VI, addressing the status of Native Americans.
This happened to be the family of Logan, who had long been distinguished as a friend of the whites. This unworthy return provoked his vengeance. He accordingly signalized himself in the war which ensued. In the autumn of the same year, a decisive battle was fought at the mouth of the Great Kanhaway, between the collected forces of the Shawanees, Mingoes, and Delawares, and a detachment of the Virginia militia. The Indians were defeated, and sued for peace. Logan however disdained to be seen among the suppliants. But, lest the sincerity of a treaty should be distrusted, from which so distinguished a chief absented himself, he sent by a messenger the following speech to be delivered to Lord Dunmore.
"I appeal to any white man to say, if ever he entered Logan's cabin hungry, and he gave him not meat; if ever he came cold and naked, and he clothed him not. During the course of the last long and bloody war, Logan remained idle in his cabin, an advocate for peace. Such was my love for the whites, that my countrymen pointed as they passed, and said, 'Logan is the friend of white men.' I had even thought to have lived with you, but for the injuries of one man. Col. Cresap, the last spring, in cold blood, and unprovoked, murdered all the relations of Logan, not sparing even my women and children. There runs not a drop of my blood in the veins of any living creature. This called on me for revenge. I have sought it: I have killed many: I have fully glutted my vengeance. For my country, I rejoice at the beams of peace. But do not harbour a thought that mine is the joy of fear. Logan never felt fear. He will not turn on his heel to save his life. Who is there to mourn for Logan? Not one."
Before we condemn the Indians of this continent as wanting genius, we must consider that letters have not yet been introduced among them. Were we to compare them in their present state with the Europeans North of the Alps, when the Roman arms and arts first crossed those mountains, the comparison would be unequal, because, at that time, those parts of Europe were swarming with numbers; because numbers produce emulation, and multiply the chances of improvement, and one improvement begets another. Yet I may safely ask, How many good poets, how many able mathematicians, how many great inventors in arts or sciences, had Europe North of the Alps then produced? And it was sixteen centuries after this before a Newton could be formed. I do not mean to deny, that there are varieties in the race of man, distinguished by their powers both of body and mind. I believe there are, as I see to be the case in the races of other animals. I only mean to suggest a doubt, whether the bulk and faculties of animals depend on the side of the Atlantic on which their food happens to grow, or which furnishes the elements of which they are compounded? Whether nature has enlisted herself as a Cis or Trans-Atlantic partisan? I am induced to suspect, there has been more eloquence than sound reasoning displayed in support of this theory; that it is one of those cases where the judgment has been seduced by a glowing pen: and whilst I render every tribute of honor and esteem to the celebrated Zoologist, who has added, and is still adding, so many precious things to the treasures of science, I must doubt whether in this instance he has not cherished error also, by lending her for a moment his vivid imagination and bewitching language.


Jane Fonda arrested on fourth Friday in a row
Actress trying to raise climate change awareness
by Kendall Trammell, CNNWASHINGTON (CNN) - Jane Fonda said she wants to get arrested every Friday.
The actress and activist said she moved to Washington for four months to raise awareness about the devastating challenges that are facing the Earth.
 "And so I decided to use my celebrity to try to raise the sense of urgency, and I moved to Washington, and I'm going to get arrested every Friday."
She calls these protests "Fire Drill Fridays." Each week, she along with other advocacy organizations gather at the US Capitol to bring attention to how the climate crisis intersects with different parts of the human life, such as militarism, women and human rights.
Here's a timeline of Fonda's arrests so far.
