Introduction
Being able to control the way data is sorted is a powerful tool for almost any situation. Let’s say that I own a company of five people. Christmas is approaching and our sales have climbed 1000% in the last year (That would be quite nice…). And as a bonus for hard work, I want to give my five loyal employees a bonus depending on how long they’ve been with the company. Okay, sounds simple enough. If I wanted to do this, I can possibly look in my employee database, and sort them by the date they started working to determine their bonuses. But then again… It is only five people. I might just remember the general timeframe they came in. Fine. Let’s fast forward five years…
…Now I have a hundred employees. See where this is going? There’s no way I’ll remember when everyone started working. Heck, I’m not sure I’ll know everyone’s name at this point. In this situation, having a nifty database of employees that I can sort would allow me to hand out bonuses accordingly come Christmas. Cool. But somewhere down the line…
…Maybe I have a million employees. That’s right. A million. At this point, I probably know all of five people who work in the company, and if I’m still responsible for determining and handing out bonuses, I’ve done something wrong. However, let’s say I’m still responsible, and I haven’t updated my sort method to accompany this growth. I’m using some slow sort method that might’ve worked fine when I had a hundred employees, but now I have a million. It takes a whole day’s worth of processing to sort properly. That is unacceptable. Bonuses must be given! Because of this, I’ll need a much faster sorting algorithm in work to match my needs. So let’s go over some of the basic and quite commonly used sorting algorithms.
We won’t be focusing on time complexities in this post (We’ll go over Big O and each sorting algorithm’s respective time complexities in the next post), but rather just the underlying algorithms behind each sorting technique.
The four sorts we’ll do are insertion sort, bubble sort, merge sort, and quick sort.
Insertion Sort
The idea behind insertion sort is to go through each element starting from the second element (the element at index 1), and iteratively compare it to preceding elements of the array until one of two conditions are met. When the current element finds a value that’s lower than it, or when it reaches the beginning of the data set, it inserts itself into the respective position and the same loop commences again for the next value in the data. Here it is in Ruby:
class Array
def insertion_sort!
(1..self.length - 1).each do |i|
current_value = self[i]
j = i - 1
while j >= 0 && self[j] > current_value
self[j + 1] = self[j]
j -= 1
end
self[j + 1] = current_value
end
self
end
end
If you notice, the value at index i
represents our current_value
, and we iterate through all its preceding elements represented by a decrementing j
.
Bubble Sort
class Array
def bubble_sort!
sorted = false
until sorted
sorted = true
(self.length - 1).times do |i|
if self[i] > self[i + 1]
self[i], self[i + 1] = self[i + 1], self[i]
sorted = false
end
end
end
self
end
end
end #Merge Sort #Quick Sort

Doge420
My teacher said to my I'm a failure, that I'll never amount to anything. I scoffed at him. Shocked, my teacher asked what's so funny, my future is on the line. "Well...you see professor" I say as the teacher prepares to laugh at my answer, rebuttal at hand. "I watch Rick and Morty." The class is shocked, they merely watch pleb shows like the big bang theory to feign intelligence, not grasping the humor. "...how? I can't even understand it's sheer nuance and subtlety." "Well you see...WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB!" One line student laughs in the back, I turn to see a who this fellow genius is. It's none other than Albert Einstein.

Everyone here are cancerous sheep who have been mind controlled to upvoting if they see a 69, 420, Instagram Fortnite and TikTok bad Minecraft good. I’m not saying I like any of these more than Minecraft but people are allowed to have opinions. So next time you call someone a normie realize who the real normie is🤡

IAIK PKCS#11 WrapperVersion 1.2.17 |
This is a Java library which makes PKCS#11 (also known as Cryptoki) modules accessible from within Java. A PKCS#11 module is a software library. It usually comes with hardware security modules (HSM), smart cards and crypto tokens (e.g. USB tokens). Thus, the PKCS#11 Wrapper provides Java software access to almost any crypto hardware. For example, a Java application can use it to integrate a HSM or a smart card to create digital signatures, to decrypt data or to unwrap keys.
This library does not contain a provider implementation for the Java Cryptographic Architecture (JCA) framework. However, there is a different product which provides this — the IAIK PKCS#11 Provider.
The PKCS#11 Wrapper consists of a Java part consisting of Java classes and a native part which is a shared library. The native part is written in ANSI-C. It is precompiled for Windows, Windows CE, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X (thanks to Marc Nelson from Nelson Brothers Racing).
The introduction document gives a brief introduction into the architecture of the library.
There is a programmer's manual giving a quick introduction for software developers. More details about the API and its use is in the JavaDoc of the API.
The FAQs provide answers to frequently asked questions and provide solutions for common problems.
There is also a list of tested products which lists those PKCS#11 compatible products which we have tested ourselves.
The java
directory contains the Java part of the
library and the demo
directory contains some demo
programs. Please note that some of the samples use the
IAIK-JCE
library which is not part of the IAIK PKCS#11 Wrapper.
There is also a sample applet in applet-demo
which shows the usage of the wrapper in an applet.
The native
directory contains the native
part of the library; i.e. the C source code of the shared library
pkcs11wrapper
. In the changes file, there is a list of all changes
between the different versions of the wrapper. The best of all,
we provide the IAIK PKCS#11 Wrapper under the terms of an Apache style
license. This means, it can be used for free even in commercial
environments.
The full license text is in the License file. Please note that this license does not
apply to the IAIK-JCE library which is used by some demos.

Software development technologies and trends are not particularly tangible things, yet we need to reason on them. At Arolla, the company I’m part of, we’ve designed an « ancient world map » of software development, as a cartography of the universe of software development we live in. Built for our own purpose, we also share it so you can benefit from it.
If you want to use the map with your own teams, please do so (it’s licensed CC-NC-ND). If you need a high-resolution file for print, just ask (the file is quite big). We’d love to get your feedback!
Agile and in XP suggest using metaphors to help materialize abstract stuff, and make it easier to grasp. You’ve probably seen Eric Evans (Domain-Driven Design) showing a picture of an ancient world map when presenting his concept of « a model built for a purpose ». We wanted to materialize software development technologies and trends, for which we have no clear and accurate visualisation yet, just like explorers in the middle age had no accurate knowledge of the world, lands and oceans. Ancient world maps had to represent that part of ignorance, with dragons and strange creatures on the less-known areas.
So we chose this metaphor to represent our universe. And ancient world maps are beautiful too!
In cartography, the role of map design is to:
Orchestrate the elements of the map to best convey its message to its audience.
In our map, each continent represents a particular chapter of related technical stuff , and oceans in between represents « soft » techniques that complement them best. Of course the universe of software development has many more dimensions than the two dimensions available on a map. This means that such map is quite subjective, it depends on our own mental model. On the other hand, this is also true for any map of the physical world, that is also supposed to represents a 3D planet onto a plane, with some deep decision on whether to preserve angles or distances.
We tried to put most related technologies as close as possible to each other. Regions in the middle of the map represent the core of a developer daily work, in contrast with the regions closer to the poles which are more specialized.
Of course not every existing technology and trend was included on the map, especially the ones that we do not want to offer to our clients or that are of less importance. As a fan of DDD I regret we could not include our clients domains (finance, e-commerce, media, e-advertising, online games…) on the map, but a map is for a purpose, just like a model. A map of everything would just be useless.
Drawing the map proved a lot more work than expected, with hundreds of layers and lots of little adjustments everywhere, resulting into a huge file for printing.
Why this map int the first place? At Arolla we wanted to organise a session for all our consultants to discover more about each other from a skills point of view. We also wanted more senior consultants to volunteer and take ownership on some areas of their technical expertise.
 We wanted a more concrete, more fun and more engaging way to talk about technical skills and areas of knowledge.
So we printed the map on a big poster laid on a table, like in the captain room in an old vessel, and made it into a game.
During last June DDD Immersion course at skillmaster, Alberto told me about Lego Serious Play.  It also makes any discussion a lot more fun! So we bought a set of Lego mini-figures, including some crazy figures, for our consultants to play with on the map (we did not follow the actual Lego Serious Play game at all).
The first part of the game was to get familiar with the map. I was shouting the name of various technologies at random, and the first to find out where it is on the map would take a marshmallow and place it as a flag (we had lots of sweeties everywhere too). This part was fast-paced and didn’t take long as it was quickly obvious that everyone had understood and indexed the map in their mind already.
In the next part, we had to create our own Lego persona, using the Lego building blocks available. It was really fun, and everyone was really happy to be given the opportunity to play with Lego again. It was nice to see that nobody built a mini-figure as planned on the box, they were all very personal, ironical or really weird.
Each consultant then told his/her career by moving his/her Lego custom figure over the big map, starting from some technology (e.g. C++) « in this continent » before « moving to another territory » (e.g. Java or .Net), then « crossing oceans » to gain additional skills in software factory and agile.
I particularly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, where anyone would interrupt to ask questions or comment, or throw a joke out loud. Perhaps the map, the Lego and the marshmallow made it clear that it was not too serious an exercise. The map and the Lego figures were able to make abstract skills more tangible and more fun for the time of the game.
We could have done the same exercise without all that, but the feedback we had from our consultants was very positive, they really enjoyed the game.
We’re going to put the big poster of the map on the wall, as a decoration. Smaller printed maps will help scope some discussions, perhaps for interviews, or when discussing with less technology-involved people. It could also be useful for developers to self-assert how much they know about the current state of the art in our craft.


A Macaron is a small round cake with a meringue-like consistency, Macaron consists of two halves sandwiching a creamy filling.
Macaron has become one of the most famous pieces of French pâtisserie.
Macaron is a much-loved French sweet delicacy, often eaten with tea mid afternoon or as a dessert.
The first known appearance of the macaron in Europe was all the way back in the Middle Ages. At the time, the macaron was a small sweet made of almonds, egg white and sugar, and was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Catherine de’ Medici likely brought the maccherone to France in the 16th century from Italy, where it had been produced in Venetian monasteries since the 8th century. Back then, they were rather humbly called ‘priest’s bellybuttons,’ due to the pastry’s shape.
Macarons began to gain fame when two Carmelite nuns, seeking asylum in Nancy during the French Revolution, baked and sold the macaron cookies in order to pay for their housing. These nuns became known as the "Macaron Sisters". In these early stages, macarons were served without special flavors or fillings.
macarons began to be served two-by-two with the addition of jams, liqueurs, and spices. The macaron as it is known today, composed of two almond meringue discs filled with a layer of buttercream, jam, or ganache filling, was originally called the "Gerbet" or the "Paris macaron."

The cost is just within the £400 budget (because the 3TB drive came out of a different budget). This should give me a fanless, low power, linux friendly firewall that should also run World of Warcraft, and be a useful test/development machine.
I bought my previous firewall ("Hathor") in 2006, and it was based around a VIA EPIA PD6000 Mini-ITX motherboard, which, at the time, was a good compromise between cheap, low power, and functional. Hathor had a VIA C3 processor (broadly equivalent to an Intel Pentium III (Source), 512MB of ram and a 20GB hard disk.
Hathor has been a rock solid machine for the last 8 years, but has been becoming slow relative to the other PC's in the house, and given the increasing load that I have put upon it. (See: Apache Tomcat). Also, the initial choice of a micro-itx motherboard has meant that it has been hard to upgrade components. I have been able to add in a SATA card so that I could use a spare hard drive (from when I upgraded the one in my laptop). (As part of this upgrade project, I bought a 3TB hard disk which is currently in hathor, but will be moved to maat once the build is complete.)
A modern computer is made up from a long list of parts:
The first component I found was the cooler for the CPU.
originally, I was going to go with another mini-itx board. (Specifically, a ZOTAC E2-1800 ITX) because I thought that would give me the right combination of low power (or at least, low heat) and low cost, while still giving me a reasonable increase in CPU power. But I wasn't happy with the compromises inherent in the mini-itx route, or of the lack of expansion slots and the cramped case.
I checked my assumptions:
Why was I looking for a mini-itx board?
Because they were low power.
Why do I want a low power board?
Because I don't want a fan.
Why don't I want a fan?
Because I don't want the server to make any noise.
Armed with new knowledge of what I wanted, I searched for fanless heatsinks. And I found the NOFAN CR-80EH. It will cool chips of up to 80 TDP, and it costs less than £40 (£36.46 from eBuyer).
It is just possible that I can build a proper PC, but with no fans....
The CPU I have chosen is an Intel Core i3-4130T. Its dual core, "Hyper-Threaded" (which means it pretends to be a four-core chip), supports hardware virtualization, and, most important, has a TDP of only 35 Watts. (I say only - the old chip apparently has a TDP of 2 Watts...). This gives me hope for my fanless plan.
(I think I looked at AMD chips, and I think that I found the FLOP/Watt ratio too poor, but I can't actaully remember doing that. I feel a bit worried now that I've made the wrong choice. Ah, paranoia.)
Given the CPU, I can now pick a motherboard. The chip needs an LGA 1150 motherboard. When I was looking for a mini-itx board, I wanted on-board wireless and two wired network ports (one for the LAN, one for the Internet) but I slowly came to realise that what I really wanted in a motherboard was expansion slots.
The motherboard I have chosen is a Gigabyte GA-H18M-H. That link is to a long list of specifications, but the two important ones for me are the combination of the price (£33 from eBuyer and the 3 PCI-E slots.
The motherboard has an UEIF BIOS, which supports larger hard disks and (should) alow me to use Secure Boot, assuming I can get it to work.
It also has HDMI out, so I can easily connect it to our living room TV. (Shinju would like me to get World of Warcraft running on the new machine so we can play together)
So far so good, but I'm not going to be able to use my old case (which is good, because I want to re-purpose the old machine as a media display for the bedroom. But that's another project).
Looking around the NOFAN website, they also make cases. Specifically, they make cases with lots of holes which are good for people making fanless PCs. Very specifically they make the CS-30 case, which is cheap (about £40 including next day shipping from Quiet PC), will hold a couple of 3.5" hard disks and a 2.5" disk, and will take proper expansion cards (rather than needing a weird riser card like the old case).
The case doesn't come with a power supply, but its going to need one. NOFAN also do fanless power supplies, the P-400A which is nice, but pricey. However, given the existence of one, I should be able to find others.
Amazon sell a 400W PSU from Silver Power, for just under £100, which is also fanless - the SP-S4600FL. (No link for this one as I can't find the manufactures site). 400W should be far more than I need, which is good, because I don't want to stress any of the components.
I have recently bought a largish hard drive, but I also wanted to get a SSD for the new server, partly to test the technology, but mostly because they are just crazy fast.
SSDs are getting cheaper, but I still didn't have that much space in the budget, so I've got a 40GB (<oldfart>40GB! I started with 5.25" floppies with 360K!</oldfart>) Intel disk (because it was on special at eBuyer when I was shopping).
40GB should be more than plenty for a Debian install. I'm still thinking about partitioning the disk, but I'm fairly sure that I'll put my /home onto the 3TB disk.
Memory is entirely generic these days. The motherboard has two DDR3 1600 slots that can take 8GB each. I can fit a 4GB memory chip into the budget, and I may get a second one in a few months.
The original plan was to get a mini-itx board with onboard wireless and two wired ethernet ports. I would have connected Shinju's PC directly to the firewall, and connected the rest of the house network (wich is the TV, X-Box, PVR and Blu-Ray player) through a hub, through a USB->ethernet adapter.
However, it turns out that gigabit network switches are suprisingly cheap. TP-LINK have an 8 port switch (the TL-SG1008D) on eBuyer for just over £20, and all the network cables are either cat5e or cat6, so I might as well take the opportunity to upgrade the network to gigabit.
(OK, so only the new firewall and Shinju's PC are gigabit, but hey, its a good opportunity)
The motherboard only has one on board network card, so I needed one more wired card to connect to the LAN, and a wireless card to connect to the laptop. I had assumed that USB adapters would be cheaper, but I was wrong. Amazon have a gigabit PCI-E network card (again, from TP-LINK) for about £7, and a PCI-E wireless (802.11b/g/n) network card (again from TP-LINK) for £9.
(Upgrading the wireless to 802.11n should mean that the wireless connection to the laptop will now be faster than the wired, since the laptop only has "Fast" ethernet (100Mbps), and 802.11n is 150Mbs.)
(I've checked, and both the wired and the wireless cards are supported by Linux)
I wasn't going to bother, but there was (just) space in the budget to get a keyboard and mouse for the firewall. Since it is probably going to be either beside, behind or under the TV, we don't want cables over the floor, so I've got a Logitech MK270 Wireless Combo which should Just Work™.
Not strictly part of this build (the funds came out of a different budget), I've got a surge protector. Its my first one, so I'm going to be interested to know how well its going to work.
As of 2014-05-25 I've ordered parts and I'm waiting for them to be delivered. Once they're here I'll document the build (with photos!) and then, as a part 3, document installing the OS.


I. Research & Engineering Projects
Jan 2012 - Present
BUAA, Key Laboratory of Beijing Network Technology
Project Description: The project mainly researched on RBAC policy conflict analyzing technique in Microsoft Active Directory surroundings. We have achieved automatic extraction of users, groups, shared resources and access control lists. Conflict detection approaches respectively based on colored petri net and description logic have been proposed, detection reports can be retrieved which consist of conflict locations, types and reasons.
Responsibility: I am responsible for the system implementation of domain information extraction and conflict detection.
Introduction: VisualADS stands for VISUAL Active Directory conflict detection System. It's a part of the KLBNT project. VisualADS is a MFC based software running under Windows. Its functionality is to collect the Active Directory data automatically and report the conflicts between permissions from a user or a group to a shared folder. VisualADS facilitates a lot of libraries and tools. It adopts ADSI (Active Directory Service Interface) API to collect the information of domain users, groups, computers and organizations automatically from the DC (Domain Controller). Then it uses the Netshare and WNet APIs to query the details of shared folders for every member computer within the domain. Here we get all the information like which user or group is permited or denied to which shared folder under a read, write or an execute action. We call this kind of permission a "policy". In order to visualize the policies, VisualADS utilizes a graphical library called E-XD++ to display the ograph in the MFC client area. There are so many nodes in the graph and it's not easy to arrange the positions of all nodes. We found that graphviz can parse the dot file and generate a picture in which all graphical elements are arranged very well. So we use graphviz to generate position for each element in our policy, like user, group, computer, shared folder and so on. To detect the conflicts between policies, we have a research on a detecting approach based on DL (Description Logic). Here in VisualADS, we use RacerPro as our DL reasoning engine. We write TBox and SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) rules mannually and put forward a algorithm which can transfer policies to ABox automatically. The we use socket to transmit TBox, ABox and SWRL rules into RacerPro engine. And nRQL (new Racer Query Language) is adopted to query the conflict details, like conflict positions, conflict reasons and so on.
Languages used by VisualADS are:
C/C++
Techniques used by VisualADS are:
MFC for UI
BCGControlBar for UI
Graphviz for UI
E-XD++ for UI
ADSI API for Active Directory information retrieval
Network Share API for shared folder information retrieval
WNet API for shared folder ACL retrieval
Registry API for shared folder ACL retrieval
Event Log API for remote log retrieval
WMI API for system information retrieval
Winsock API for communications with RacerPro
Usage:
1) Copy VisualADS.exe from the "Debug" directory to the "dlls" directory, then execute it.
2) Fill in the "DC Host or IP" with the Domain Controller hostname or IP address, fill in the "Admin Username" and "Admin Password" with the username and password of the domain administrator of Active Directory, usually named "Administrator". Click "Add Domain" if you want to retrieve multi-domain informatioon simultaneously. Then click "Log on" button and wait until the information be retrieved from the DC. Current states are displayed in the "Console" tab of "Output" window. When finished, the client area will display a graph which visualized the whole domain(s).
3) Click "Start RacerPro" to start the RacerPro reasoning engine. After the window of RacerPro opens, click "Detect" to detect the policy conflicts between Active Directory policies. The "RacerPro TCP Cache" tab of "Output" window will show the TBox, SWRL rules and ABox communicated with RacerPro. And the "Conflict Detection Result" tab will display the conflict detection report.

(V)PHSUBW performs horizontal subtraction on each adjacent pair of 16-bit signed integers by subtracting the most significant word from the least significant word of each pair in the source and destination operands, and packs the signed 16-bit results to the destination operand (first operand). (V)PHSUBD performs horizontal subtraction on each adjacent pair of 32-bit signed integers by subtracting the most significant doubleword from the least significant doubleword of each pair, and packs the signed 32-bit result to the destination operand. When the source operand is a 128-bit memory operand, the operand must be aligned on a 16-byte boundary or a general-protection exception (#GP) will be generated.
Legacy SSE version: Both operands can be MMX registers. The second source operand can be an MMX register or a 64-bit memory location.
128-bit Legacy SSE version: The first source and destination operands are XMM registers. The second source operand is an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged.
In 64-bit mode, use the REX prefix to access additional registers.
VEX.128 encoded version: The first source and destination operands are XMM registers. The second source operand is an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the destination YMM register are zeroed.
VEX.256 encoded version: The first source and destination operands are YMM registers. The second source operand can be an YMM register or a 256-bit memory location.
Note: VEX.L must be 0, otherwise the instruction will #UD.

JACKIE BROWN
By Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Miramax Films/A Band Apart Director: Quentin Tarantino Writer: Quentin Tarantino Cast: Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro
When Jack Dawson held Rose De Witt Bukalter at the aft of the Titanic in the Jack Cameron movie of that name, he said, "Do you trust me?" Rose did. She held her arms wide and leaned over the swirling waters of the North Atlantic ocean. Her confidence proved accurate. Though Jack seemed irresponsible as seen through the eyes of the upper-class passengers who scorned his class, he is consistently accountable--far more so than the snobs riding the ship on the upper deck.
By contrast, Quentin Tarantino's film "Jackie Brown," among the most talked-about openings of the year, features a parade of characters who are the very antithesis of trustworthiness. They lie, cheat, steal, and above all betray one another to such a degree that we wonder whether any criminals would be caught without the betrayals of their fellow lawbreakers-- who are willing to tell all to the authorities if such disclosures would save their tails. With the one exception--a rare relationship between the title character played by Pam Grier and an honest, but burned-out bail bondsman performed with particularly quiet eloquence by Robert Forster--"Jackie Brown" holds that there is no honor among thieves.
Given Quentin Tarantino's audacious, film "Pulp Fiction" three years back, it's no wonder that this one is being received with impressive anticipation. While some may leave this drawn-out episode disappointed in its relatively mild tone (most of the violence takes places off camera), others will cheer Tarantino's reigning in of mayhem to concentrate on the developing connection between the white bail bondsman and the black stewardess. There is much to cheer in the film. Based on Elmore Leonard's novel "Rum Punch," Tarantino's screenplay highlights witty dialogue, hard-edged action, and most of all an attitude toward crime which is joky without being irresponsibly dismissive. Pam Grier's casting in the central role of a seemingly defenseless, down-and-out woman in her forties rather than a post-pubescent bimbo, is daring enough at a time that Hollywood has scant enough lead roles for females in obvious middle age.
The opening moments set the tone. As the credits role, Jackie is shown heading through the corridors of Los Angeles airport like an icon, her stony face and Mona Lisa smile projecting both determination and vulnerability. Stopped at one point by two law-enforcement officials, one from the Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco Agency (Michael Keaton), the other from the L.A.P.D. (Michael Bowen), she is busted for smuggling in $50,000 cash which she retrieved from her departure airport in Mexico and asked to cooperate in return for a reduced sentence. Her initial reluctance to collaborate followed by her apparent willingness to help the officials catch bigger prey is just one example of the betrayals which flood the film from its cynical beginning to its stifled upbeat windup.
In the role of chief villain, Samuel L. Jackson proves once again that no one else can read Tarantino's dialogue or respond to his direction like him. Playing a salesmen of illegal firearms who has hired Jackie Brown to bring $500,000 which he has stashed in Mexico, Jackson is Ordell Robbie, a intimidating man with blazing eyes, a fierce determination, a set of impossibly ludicrous wigs, and an apparent loyalty to his small gang of petty thieves. He keeps the beautiful but perpetually stoned Melanie (Bridget Fonda) as one would tend a pet Afghan, at one time encouraging his bank-robber henchman Louis (Robert De Niro) to enjoy her supple frame. His only fear--that members of his band may talk if arrested and promised a deal by the prosecutors--keeps his trigger- finger itchy. His casual execution of Beamont Livingston (Chris Tucker), whom he bails out of jail, cajoles into the trunk of his car, and then shoots, is shown in Tarantino's typical clowning style. Tucker, a fast-talking veteran of prancing pictures like "Money Talks" and "House Party 3," is his usual self here, refusing at first to stash himself in that closed compartment, then coaxed into it by the man who got him released from prison.
After Jackie Brown's arrest, Ordell's defense are again up, but he appears for a while to trust her to carry in the remainder of his loot with the promise of a decent commission. Little realizing that his nemesis would be not the L.A.P.D. or the A.F.T., but rather a middle-aged, middle-class white man who befriends Jackie and identifies with her even to the extent of buying soulful tapes for his car radio, he remains only dimly aware that Jackie would expertly play Ordell off against both the authorities and the members of his gang.
In the movie's most structurally effective scene, Tarantino hones in on a scam which takes place in a boutique shop involving Jackie's switching of shopping bags with Melanie. The scene is shown from three points of view: from that of Jackie, who slips the bag with the alleged $500,000 under the dressing room door to Melanie; from that of Melanie, who soon has a tussle with Louis for possession of the bag; and from that of Max Cherry, the bondsman who watches all with a sly smile of appreciation on his somewhat wan but curiously attentive face.
The success of Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" as a wily parable of crime and its consequences poses a challenge to Spike Lee's view that primarily black movies must be helmed by black directors. Featuring a great soundtrack and a panoramic view of assorted banal locales in southern California, "Jackie Brown" is a slick, sly, soulful story of paranoia, misgivings, a dominant theme of vengeance and a tone of whimsy. Rated R. Running Time: 155 minutes. (C) 1997 Harvey Karten

MADELINE A film review by Matt Williams
RATING: * * * out of * * * *
This adaptation of Ludwig Bemelmans' classic children's book, Madeline, is mostly faithful to the original. Unfortunately, the alterations are the film's weakest link.
Hatty Jones stars as the title character, an orphaned girl adopted by the church, and attending a girl's school in Paris. The headmistress is the kindly Miss Clavel (Frances McDormand), who has a sixth sense when something isn't quite right.
And something often isn't right, whether the independent-minded Madeline is getting into some sort of trouble, or the school's chief benefactor (Stephanie Audran) is on her deathbed and her cruel husband, Lord Covington (Nigel Hawthorne) plots to sell the house.
At times, the film threatens to devolve into Home Alonesque nonsense. But, luckily, the film stays above that level and comes up with more creative ways to solve its dilemmas.
Nearly all the familiar scenes from the book are stuffed in the movie at one point or another. For only being 90 minutes long, the filmmakers did a good job of putting everything in, without the end result feeling overstuffed.
Performances throughout are pleasant, but no one really stands out from the work. Hatty Jones is neither annoying nor endearing in the title role.
Those expecting a thrill ride of a movie are apt to be disappointed by this comparatavely bland film. Still, Madeline offers a nice alternative to the standard summer fare.
Fans of the book will be adequately pleased by this interpretation. However, besides being a nice movie, the film has little to offer those toward the book series.

Issue: PATHNAME-SYNTAX-ERROR-TIMEReferences: File System Interface (pp409-427)
Category: CLARIFICATION
Edit history: 07-Jul-88, Version 1 by Pitman
Status: For Internal Discussion
Problem Description:
There exist conceivable pathnames for which there is no valid mapping in a
particular implementation. CLtL is not clear about the time at which this
error might be detected.
For example, on file systems which constrain pathname-types to be three
letters or fewer, the type "LISP" is not valid. The question arises: when
is this error detected?
In some implementations, the error might be detected while forming the
pathname. That is, (MAKE-PATHNAME :TYPE "LISP") signals an error.
In some implementations, the error might be detected while forming the
namestring. That is, (MAKE-PATHNAME :TYPE "LISP") succeeds, but
(NAMESTRING (MAKE-PATHNAME :TYPE "LISP")) signals an error.
In some implementations, validity checking might be done only by the host
operating system, so Lisp does not detect the error unless the operating
system complains. For example, (MAKE-PATHNAME :TYPE "LISP") succeeds,
and even (NAMESTRING (MAKE-PATHNAME :TYPE "LISP")) constructs a plausible
looking pathname, but (OPEN (NAMESTRING (MAKE-PATHNAME :TYPE "LISP"))) fails.
In some implementations, Lisp might make `friendly' corrections to the
pathname in order to form a namestring. For example,
(MAKE-PATHNAME :TYPE "LISP") might succeed, but
(NAMESTRING (MAKE-PATHNAME :TYPE "LISP")) might produce a namestring with
an extension such as ".LIS" or ".LSP".
Similar issues might come up in file systems which don't allow wildcard
pathnames. Is :WILD allowed in a name or type slot and then disallowed
upon coercion to a pathname, or is :WILD complained about "up front"?
This phenomenon is a barrier to portability because if a program is
debugged in an implementation that does, for example, NAMESTRING-time
error checking, the programmer may be lulled into an expectation that
it is acceptable to construct and manipulate invalid pathnames as long
as the problem is caught before an attempt to call NAMESTRING is
attempted. On the other hand, another programmer may debug his code in
a Lisp which does early error checking of syntax and may assume that
he is home free if the pathname gets constructed correctly.
Proposal (PATHNAME-SYNTAX-ERROR-TIME:PATHNAME-CREATION):
Clarify that operations such as MAKE-PATHNAME and MERGE-PATHNMES which
construct new pathnames do plausibility checking of their arguments
and signal an error rather than construct a pathname for which NAMESTRING
would not produce a valid pathname.
Rationale:
This would identify clearly to the programmer where he should expect an
error to be signalled for a pathname.
This would mean that fully constructed pathnames could reliably
be converted to namestrings.
Cost to Implementors:
Some implementors, especially those which rely on the operating system
to be the sole authority on pathname syntax, might have to introduce
some new syntax-checking facilities.
Implementations where this error checking is done later would have to be
changed both to do it earlier, and to not make the unwarranted assumption
that pathnames with no valid namestring representation are constructable.
Cost to Users:
The ability to represent non-viable pathnames for the purpose of merging
would be lost. This feature was not portably available, but was available
in some operating systems.
Some code which expected an error, but expected it at a different time
would have to be changed.
Proposal (PATHNAME-SYNTAX-ERROR-TIME:NAMESTRING-COERCION):
Clarify that it was valid to create a pathname which could not be
converted to a namestring. Require NAMESTRING (and related functions,
such as ENOUGH-NAMESTRING or any internal functions that might be used
in place of NAMESTRING by functions like OPEN and PROBE-FILE) to signal
an error for pathnames which do not represent valid filenames in the
designated file system.
Rationale:
This would identify clearly to the programmer where he should expect an
error to be signalled for a pathname.
This would allow the construction of pathnames for the sole purpose of
merging without causing what might seem to some as gratuitous errors.
Cost to Implementors:
Implementors who rely on the operating system to be the sole authority
on pathname syntax, might have to introduce some new syntax-checking
facilities.
Implementations where this error checking is done earlier would have to
be changed both to do it later, and to not make the unwarranted
assumption that any pathname has a valid namestring representation.
Cost to Users:
Early error checking of faulty pathnames would be lost.
Some code which expected an error, but expected it at a different time
would have to be changed.
Benefits:
Macsyma, for example, has encountered a need for "hostless" pathnames
(in merging). The concept makes no sense if every pathname must have
a namestring, because a pathname with no host cannot have a namestring.
However, if it's NAMESTRING's responsibility to signal an error, then
hostless pathnames are still useful for merging. Consider:
(MERGE-PATHNAMES (MAKE-PATHNAME :NAME "FRED") MARY)
This will override both the NAME and the HOST field of MARY because you
must currently have a host in every pathname. But if MAKE-PATHNAME did
not force the host, or if one could explicitly say :HOST NIL, then
such pathnames would be considerably more useful for merging.
Proposal (PATHNAME-SYNTAX-ERROR-TIME:EXPLICITLY-VAGUE):
Clarify that we were unable to reach agreement on this issue and that
the time at which this error detection occurs is not well-specified.
Advise the editorial group to warn users clearly about this known source
of program portability problems.
Rationale:
This implements the status quo.
Cost to Implementors:
None.
Cost to Users:
No existing code must be modified, but there is an ongoing cost
associated with providing error checking at multiple points in a
program because implementations disagree as to where an error
might be signalled. In some cases, the effects of having to handle
this in multiple places may cause unpleasant modularity violations.
Test Case:
See problem description.
Current Practice:
Symbolics Genera signals an error at pathname construction time if a
pathname will be invalid. Once a pathname is successfully constructed,
it can generally be assumed that NAMESTRING will always succeed.
Aesthetics:
Making this more well-defined would cause a definite aesthetic
improvement to some programs.
Discussion:
Pitman prefers PATHNAME-SYNTAX-ERROR-TIME:NAMESTRING-COERCION but
believes that anything is an improvement over ...:EXPLICITLY-VAGUE.
CL pathname functions were not adequate for use in Macsyma because
they did not adequately represent to-be-merged-only pathnames (a
feature used very extensively in Macsyma), because errors could be
signalled at radically different times. To get around this, Pitman
had to create a data structure in Macsyma called an MPATHNAME which
was only trivially different than a PATHNAME but which made it
possible to deal portably with this issue of when errors occurred
and what kinds of errors occured. Unfortunately, since none of the
CL functions worked on MPATHNAMEs, a whole series of functions,
also only trivially different, had to be created: MAKE-MPATHNAME,
MNAMESTRING, MERGE-MPATHNAMES, MPATHNAME-NAME, MPATHNAME-TYPE,
MOPEN, WITH-MOPEN-FILE, etc.
------
Summary of CL-Cleanup discussion:
Most of the mail was endorsements for option PATHNAME-CREATION.
Sandra brought up a tangential issue about truenames that eventually
became a separate issue.
I think I'm the only person pushing NAMESTRING-COERCION. I strongly
believe it is the right thing, and that PATHNAME-CREATION is suboptimal,
based on problems that have struck me with existing CL pathname system.
However, even PATHNAME-CREATION would be an improvement from a
portability standpoint and I am probably not going to push it because
there are compatibility issues on the side of PATHNAME-CREATION (many
implementations do this already), and because there are more important
issues for us to spend time on at the meeting.
[Please try to come prepared to vote yes on one or both of
PATHNAME-CREATION or NAMESTRING-COERCION so we don't have to fall back
on EXPLICITLY-VAGUE, which is a total loss for program portability.

Using the XMLUnit easyb plug-in
There’s myriad ways to validate XML; in fact, with Groovy, the mechanics of
parsing XML with XMLSlurper
couldn’t be easier! Nevertheless, from time to time,
you might have needed an easy way to validate XML
documents without having to actually parse them. Thus, XMLUnit has been a handy
framework today as it has been for years.
While XMLUnit is a JUnit-style framework, you can certainly leverage it outside of JUnit. What’s more, via easyb’s plug-in framework, using XMLUnit just got a lot easier! For instance, leveraging XMLUnit with this plug-in makes validation as easy as:
using "xmlunit"
scenario "XML documents are compared easier via xml unit plug-in", {
given "some xml document", {
control = """<account><id>3A-00</id><name>acme</name></account>"""
}
then "the plugin should enable easy comparisons", {
testXML = """<account><id>3A-00</id><name>acme</name></account>"""
testXML.shouldBeIdenticalTo control
testXML.shouldBeIdenticalWith control //same behavior different call
testXML.shouldBeIdentical control //ditto
testXML.identical control //ditto
}
and "the instance of XMLUnit should be available for use", {
XMLUnit.version.shouldBe "1.3alpha"
XMLUnit.getIgnoreWhitespace().shouldBe true
}
}
Note how the using
keyword is required -- this loads the XMLUnit
easyb plug-in (providing you've placed the plug-in in your classspath). The key aspects of the
plug-in are the special validation methods, such as shouldBeIdenticalTo
and its
logical cousin shouldBeSimilarTo
. Note too, these methods have synonyms (see the code
above). What's more, you can grab an instance of the core XMLUnit framework as it's automatically
present in the binding available to your behaviors (as XMLUnit
). Lastly, all should
methods in easyb support an optional message parameter that will be captured if there is an error --
testXML.shouldBeIdenticalTo control, "documents were not identical"
-- as you can
see this is quite similar to JUnit-style assertions.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the users list or you can twitter easyb.

Description
SHExpandLSQ
will expand a set of irregularly sampled data points into spherical harmonics by a least squares inversion. When there are more data points than spherical harmonic coefficients (i.e., nmax>(lmax+1)**2
), the solution of the overdetermined system will be determined. If there are more coefficients than data points, then the solution of the underdetermined system that minimizes the solution norm will be determined. See the LAPACK documentation concerning DGELS for further information.
The employed spherical harmonic normalization and Condon-Shortley phase convention can be set by the optional arguments norm
and csphase
; if not set, the default is to use geodesy 4-pi normalized harmonics that exclude the Condon-Shortley phase of (-1)^m.

Storm Sebastien on course to crash into Britain with life-threatening weather
The Met Office has issued a ‘danger to life’ flood warning as storm Sebastien heads to the UK.
Rain alerts are also in place across much of South-West England for the next three days, ahead of the storm’s arrival which is expected to bring two inches of rain and 50mph winds on Tuesday.
Storm Sebastien is expected to bring travel chaos to large parts of the country when it makes landfall, hitting already flooded areas with heavy rain.
Huge waves are expected to crash into the coast of South-West England today.
A Met office forecaster told Metro.co.uk: ‘Over the next three days there will be a lot of unsettled weather.
‘There is a band of rain pushing north eastwards with heavy showers today.
‘Storm Sebastian is expected to make landfall tomorrow, with a band of heavy rain pushing across the UK.’
Today will be mostly cloudy with heavy rain forecast for Southern England and Wales, followed by sunny spells.
Advertisement Advertisement
However, heavy rain will hit the southwest by dawn.
As storm Sebastien makes landfall, tomorrow will see rain move North-East across many parts of the country.
Most of the heavy rain will fall in Southern England, with as much as 60mm of rain hitting the region.
Showers will also follow into the South-West, where strong winds are expected.
Further low pressure on Wednesday is expected to bring outbreaks of heavy rain, especially across southern England and northern Scotland.
The Met Office has issued three rain warnings over the next three days.
The first for south-west England and south Wales ends at 10am today.
A second alert will be in force across South-West, South and South-East England from midday tomorrow to 3pm on Wednesday.
Up to 60mm of rain is expected to fall in some spots, equating to roughly two weeks of rain.
A final ‘danger to life’ flood warning will be put in place in Yorkshire from the midnight to 6pm on Wednesday.

Exclusive: First Look At Marauders #7 & 8 Covers and Solicits
by Blair MarnellIn the Dawn of X, the X-Men have risen again and claimed the sentient island, Krakoa, as the new mutant homeland. But not every mutant can reach the promised land. That’s where Kate Pryde, Storm, Pyro, Iceman, and Bishop come in. As the Marauders, they smuggle mutants to Krakoa while sailing the high seas. Emma Frost, a.k.a. the White Queen, is openly pulling the strings via the Hellfire Trading Company.
Ahead of Marvel’s February 2020 solicitations, Superhero Hype has the exclusive first look at Marauders #7 and #8. Russell Dauterman is the cover artist for issue 7, which features the return of Callisto. She’s the former leader of the Morlocks and Storm’s long-time rival. Callisto hasn’t been spotted on Krakoa. However, the fact that she’s facing off with Bishop and Pyro suggests that she’s on the opposite side.

Dauterman also provided the cover for Marauders #8, which features Storm battling Emma Frost. Storm and Emma have quite a history of their own, and events have finally come to a head.
Here’s the official Marauders #7 & #8 solicitation text from Marvel.
“THE TREASURE OF ISLAND M!
As Verendi’s plans against Krakoa grow, the Marauders find themselves missing something vital… something that brings Storm and the White Queen to blows. Artist Stefano Caselli (AVENGERS, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) joins the crew of the craziest X-series of them all!”
Marauders #7 & 8 will hit comic book stores in February 2020.
What did you think about the look at the upcoming issues of Marauders? Let us know in the comment section below!

Logic
PL 320-01 | Spring, 2023
Tues Thurs 10:50-12:05am | Room: HU 050M
Dr. Jeffrey C. Witt | jcwitt [at] loyola [dot] edu | ext. 2947
College Center W010 Lecture
Office Hours: Tues, Wed, Thurs 1:00pm-3:00pm
This course will introduce students to the basic components of logical arguments and then introduce students to the various systems of logic designed to formally analyze such arguments. Particular attention will be given to Categorical Logic, Propositional Logic, and Predicate Logic.
Hurly, Patrick, A Concise Introduction to Logic 13th Edition (Cengage Learning: Stamford, CT, 20XX)
This is a skills course designed, not only to introduce you to various formal systems of logic, but also to help you develop corresponding "habits" of mind. Such habits, just like in music, sport, or language acquisition, cannot be acquired with frequent and repetitive practice. Thus the main homework for this course are problems sets, and we will have assigned problems sets for nearly every class. A detailed problem set schedule has been posted on moodle. There are two parts to each problem set. One part indicates problems that you should complete, but do not need to turn. A second, smaller set, lists problems that you should complete and turn in via moodle.
Turned in problems will be graded on "check" (8), "check plus" (9), "check plus plus" (10) system. A "check" (8) represents a floor. If you've done your best and made a sincere attempt on the homework, you'll get a check. If you've got nearly everything correct but missed one or two problems, you'll get a "check plus" (9), and if there are no errors you'll get a (10). As such, the incentive to not do your own work is very low. Copying an answer from the internet or a friend provides you with only a marginal benefit, while robbing you have the knowledge required to do well on the much more important exams. At the same time, since the turn-in homework problems are generally the more difficult problems, the small bump from getting a 9 or 10 should incentivize you to faithfully and regularly do the non turn-in homework problems.
In short, the exams presume that you've done all the homework problems, so there is little incentive to finding a short-cut only to get 100% on homework, since doing poorly on exams is much more damaging. At the same time, the small bump should incentive you to do the homework well (and therefore enable you to do well on exams) since a strong homework grade can help push your final grade up or down.
There are approximately 20 homework opportunities. Since I know everyone has busy weeks, I'll drop your three lowest homework scores.
During our course we will have two "reading" analysis where will look at arguments and/or articles in the "wild" and use techniques we are learning to identify the structure of the argument and examine its strengths and weaknesses.
Exam 1 (28.3%)
Exam 2 (28.3%)
Exam 3 (28.3%)
93% A, 90% A-, 88% B+, 83% B, 80 B-, 78% C+, 73% C, 70% C-, 68% D+, 65% D
Students are expected to follow the university's honor code:
"The Honor Code states that all students of the Loyola Community have been equally entrusted by their peers to conduct themselves honestly on all academic assignments. The Students of this University understand that having collective and individual responsibility for the ethical welfare of their peers exemplifies a commitment to the community. Students who submit materials that are the products of their own minds demonstrate respect for themselves and the community in which they study. All outside resources or information should be clearly acknowledged. If there is any doubt or question regarding the use and documentation of outside sources for academic assignments, your instructor should be consulted. Any violations of the Honor Code will be handled by the Honor Council."
See the honor code for further information. http://www.loyola.edu/academic/honorcode.aspx.
I ask you not (unless otherwise instructed) to use your computers or cell phones in this class. They are almost always a distraction: if not to you, then to me and to others. (If there is a special reason that you need a computer please let me know, and we can most likely work something out.) Students using cell phones in any capacity will find their participation grade negatively affected. If you find this policy frustrating, then I encourage you to watch the Frontline documentary: Digital Nation http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/view/?utm_campaign= viewpage&utm_medium=grid&utm_source=grid.
