Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" is the grandaddy of all horror thrillers - the penultimate textbook statement on thrills and suspense. There has never been a greater Master of Suspense, and this is surely Hitch's greatest suspense thriller. Even after 40 years, it has not lost the power to shock or surprise.
"Psycho" changed movie history forever after its release in 1960 - in a sense, the innocence of the 1950's was forever crushed by Hitchcock's atmospheric pull and sinful characters. Here we had Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, the bank clerk who has embezzled 40,000 dollars and leaves the town of Phoenix, Arizona in the hopes of starting a new life with her beau, Sam Loomis (John Gavin). Along the way, she runs into ominous policemen, suspicious used car dealers, and a nice, callow motel owner, Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) who rents a room to her, and offers a meal ("just sandwiches and milk") in his parlor. We are itching for Marion to get away, but she decides to go back to Phoenix - her "private trap" as she calls it. Her conversation with Norman almost turns awry as she suggests keeping his invalid mother in a home. "In an institution," asks Norman, while in the background we see stuffed birds. We begin to think that Marion will get away the next day, and hope that Norman will not get in the way. She calmly takes a shower, and suddenly a silhouetted figure opens the shower curtain and kills her! A major shock to the senses in one of the infamous montage sequences in film history. This is the section that most people recall when "Psycho" is brought up. It is also the most misunderstood.
The shower sequence occurs barely halfway through "Psycho" and Hitchcock still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. The trick is that we were following Marion Crane all through the story, assuming all along that the film is about Marion and the money she stole. Hitchcock makes it very subjective, we see this story through her eyes. Credit Janet Leigh for making Marion into one of the most sympathetic, humane female protagonists of all time. It is precisely for this reason why we are so shocked by her murder - a life has been taking away from us and we are left helpless like those stuffed birds in Norman's parlor. It is not a matter of punishment considering that Mother does not kill Marion for her money - we, the audience, only see it as punishment. Suddenly, the subjectivity shifts to poor Norman Bates since we assume that his mother killed Marion because he was attracted to her, and perhaps wanted her sexually.
This is the second act of the film, now focusing on Norman and Marion's tempermental sister, Lila Crane (Vera Miles). She comes to Sam Loomis asking where Marion might be, and there is also a private investigator, Arbogast (Martin Balsam), making inquiries. Arbogast eventually discovers that Marion (having used her alias Marie Samuels) had stayed at the Bates Motel. This sets up a brilliantly tense and comical scene where Arbogast asks Norman questions, realizing Norman is lying about the situation, and is curious about his mother sitting in the upstairs window of the house next door.
"Psycho" has one clever sequence after another, building its tension through surprises and mounting suspense. Who is Mother anyway? How come she has to be carried out of the house by Norman yet somehow moves at lightning speed when she attacks with the kitchen knife? The secret to the tension is in how Hitch switches from subjectivity to objectivity. For example, the Arbogast murder starst subjectively as he walks up to the house and enters through the front door - every shot is seen from his point-of-view. Then he walks up the stairs, and Hitchcock cuts to a shot of a door opening. Who is it? Could it be Mother? We are aware someone is up there but Arbogast does not know, thus the tension builds with acute dexterity. Low-angle shots to a high-angle shot of Mother steadfastly attacking Arbogast.
Subjectivity has always been Hitchcock's secret to suspense and unparalleled tension, and never before did it make such an impression as in "Psycho." It is a film that changed our perceptions of what a film could be, and it sired a genre rooted in gratuitous gore and cheap shocks - the slasher genre. The countless rip-offs and remakes never did any justice to "Psycho," with the exception of the cleverly Hitchcockian suspense thriller, "The Stepfather," and Scorsese's lone thriller, "Cape Fear." In terms of slasher fare, there is John Carpenter's influential "Halloween," which borrows from Hitch freely as well as Brian De Palma's early thrillers.
What most slasher films forget is that Hitchcock never intended on featuring the sole two murders in "Psycho" without any rhyme or reason - his sole purpose was not just to shock or titillate. The justification comes from the screenplay by Joseph Stephano, who wisely spent time investing humanity and dimension in these characters. Most of today's thrillers or slasher films spend an inordinate amount of time lopping off characters whom we could care less about - witness the execrable "I Know What You Did Last Summer." The latter cared more about the killing methods than about the thin characters.
"Psycho" is nearly a perfect thriller, though the ending where a psychiatrist (Simon Oakland) explains Norman's condition is still trite and unnecessary - sometimes nobody can acutely pinpoint a murderer's motives. But then Hitchcock has a brilliant finish where Norman is in his cell and we hear Mother in a voice-over spreading a sense of optimism about her confinement - "Why she would never harm a fly!" says Norman. The final shot is a superimposition of Mother's skull over Norman's smiling face while there is yet another superimposition of a car being drained from a swamp containing Marion's body.
"Psycho" is dated in certain respects, but it retains the potency it has in its thrills and excitement. A visceral experience like no other, it shows Hitchcock at the height of his powers. The late Anthony Perkins might have become miscast, but his empathetic, almost too human look at Norman Bates will always enthrall precisely because he does not seem so evil. "Psycho" will never be forgotten, and stands as the standard thriller by which all others thrillers have and will be measured.

Abstract: We establish a general oracle inequality for clipped approximate minimizers of regularized empirical risks and apply this inequality to support vector machine (SVM) type algorithms. We then show that for SVMs using Gaussian RBF kernels for classiﬁcation this oracle inequality leads to learning rates that are faster than the ones established in [9]. Finally, we use our oracle inequality to show that a simple parameter selection approach based on a validation set can yield the same fast learning rates without knowing the noise exponents which were required to be known a-priori in [9]. 1

A richly flavoured soup, spiced with curry powder. Perfect for a cold day, serve with a dollop of tangy sour cream.
This meal, if served as five portions, provides 245kcal, 5g protein, 36g carbohydrate (of which 12g sugars), 8g fat (of which 3.5g saturates), 5g fibre and 0.4g salt per portion.
Melt the butter with the oil in a large saucepan and stir in the onion, garlic, carrots, celery and sweet potato. Cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring regularly until the vegetables are beginning to soften and brown lightly. Stir in the apple pieces and sprinkle over the curry powder. Cook for a further 2 minutes more, stirring as it cooks.
Crumble the stock cube into a measuring jug, and pour over the boiling water. Mix to combine. Pour into the pan, and stir in the tomato purée and mango chutney. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat slightly and leave to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally . Cook until the vegetables are tender.
While the soup is simmering, half-fill a medium pan with water and bring to the boil. Add the rice and return to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Drain the rice in a sieve and rinse under running water until cold.
When the soup is ready, cool the soup for a few minutes and blend with a stick blender or in a food processor until smooth before stirring in the cooled rice. If you want a more rustic texture to the soup, do not blend.
Add enough water to give a good consistency, (about 150-200ml/5½-7fl oz). Heat the soup for 3–4 minutes until piping hot and check the seasoning, add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into deep bowls and top each with a spoonful of natural yoghurt or soured cream. Garnish with sprigs of coriander or flat-leaf parsley if you like.

crop_offset_x = 0.5 , |
|
|
|
crop_offset_y = 0.5 , |
|
|
|
allow_stretch = False |
|
) |
| |
Resize the image maintaining the aspect ratio.
If both width and height are specified, the more restricting of the two
values will be used when resizing the image. The maximum dimension allowed
for both width and height is 4000 pixels.
If both width and height are specified and crop_to_fit is True, the less
restricting of the two values will be used when resizing and the image will
be cropped to fit the specified size. In this case the center of cropping
can be adjusted by crop_offset_x and crop_offset_y.
Args:
width: int, width (in pixels) to change the image width to.
height: int, height (in pixels) to change the image height to.
crop_to_fit: If True and both width and height are specified, the image is
cropped after resize to fit the specified dimensions.
crop_offset_x: float value between 0.0 and 1.0, 0 is left and 1 is right,
default is 0.5, the center of image.
crop_offset_y: float value between 0.0 and 1.0, 0 is top and 1 is bottom,
default is 0.5, the center of image.
allow_stretch: If True and both width and height are specified, the image
is stretched to fit the resize dimensions without maintaining the
aspect ratio.
Raises:
TypeError when width or height is not either 'int' or 'long' types.
BadRequestError when there is something wrong with the given height or
width or if MAX_TRANSFORMS_PER_REQUEST transforms have already been
requested on this image.

degrees |
|
) |
| |
Rotate an image a given number of degrees clockwise.
Args:
degrees: int, must be a multiple of 90.
Raises:
TypeError when degrees is not either 'int' or 'long' types.
BadRequestError when there is something wrong with the given degrees or
if MAX_TRANSFORMS_PER_REQUEST transforms have already been requested.
| def google.appengine.api.images.Image.set_correct_orientation |
( |
|
self, |
|
|
|
correct_orientation |
|
) |
| |
Set flag to correct image orientation based on image metadata.
EXIF metadata within the image may contain a parameter indicating its proper
orientation. This value can equal 1 through 8, inclusive. "1" means that the
image is in its "normal" orientation, i.e., it should be viewed as it is
stored. Normally, this "orientation" value has no effect on the behavior of
the transformations. However, calling this function with the value
CORRECT_ORIENTATION any orientation specified in the EXIF metadata will be
corrected during the first transformation.
NOTE: If CORRECT_ORIENTATION is specified but the image is already in
portrait orientation, i.e., "taller" than it is "wide" no corrections will
be made, since it appears that the camera has already corrected it.
Regardless whether the correction was requested or not, the orientation
value in the transformed image is always cleared to indicate that no
additional corrections of the returned image's orientation is necessary.
Args:
correct_orientation: a value from ORIENTATION_CORRECTION_TYPE.
Raises:
BadRequestError if correct_orientation value is invalid.
| def google.appengine.api.images.Image.vertical_flip |
( |

Technical Blog, Sprint 4: JavaScript
19 July, 2018
How does JavaScript compare to HTML and CSS?
HTML dictates the content and structure of a website, while CSS controls the visual style of the page and elements. JavaScript dictates the interactivity of a website and can be described as the difference between making a website and a web app.
Explain control flow and loops using an example process from everyday life, for example 'waking up' or 'brushing your teeth'.
Control loops are making decisions based on different inputs. For example, deciding what clothes to wear based on the occasion. If the occasion is formal, wear a suit; if it's the beach, wear a swimsuit; otherwise, default to casual clothes. Loops involve repeating something until a condition is no longer met. For example, if you are not at your destination, take a step; you will continue to take steps infinitely until you are at your destination.
Explain the difference between accessing data from arrays and objects.
A variable can be thought of as a box containing something- a word, a number, anything. An array is a variable that contains multiple things- maybe it has both a number and a word in it. These things are ordered in rows- in this case, you would have the number first, then the word. To take an object out, you would ask for something at position 1, 2, etc (ignoring the fact indexes actually start at 0). An object is something else that has a variety of properties- maybe that a car has a colour, a number of wheels, a type of engine, is manual or automatic. In this case, instead of an index you ask what the value of a property is (key-value pairs, like a dictionary).
Explain what functions are and why they are useful.
Functions are blocks of code that execute a series of actions. They can also return information. For example, instead of adding a series of numbers together manually, you could write a function that does it for you automatically and all you need to do is give it the numbers each time. This saves time and is more efficient.

Hi, I'm very new. "Theorem Proving in Lean" has the statement "Lean’s underlying foundation has an infinite hierarchy of types", but if I type
#check Type 87172
my Lean server crashes. Why is this? My computer says it's a segfault (SIGSEGV)
Interesting. I need to make the number a couple of orders of maginute larger for my Lean server to crash.
Of course, in practice this never matters, because you rarely work in a specific type universe higher than, say, Type 3
.
I'm going to go ahead and assume this is some sort of hardware (RAM?) limitation. My machine is an old laptop from 2009 and I don't have anything else to test this on at the moment.
I think you're right. I'm under the impression that the specific universes are encoded using unary numerals
That would be why your memory runs out
Yes, they are something like a linked list (with 87172 nodes in this case) iirc
A linked list with 87172 nodes in it isn't that large... There must be hundreds or thousands of them to exhaust memory, and even so a segfault is not the best way to indicate this
You're right Mario, even with 16-byte nodes (pointer + some data) it would only be about 1Mib, so it shouldn't crash (but would be slow, since that's still a long list). Some of the code is here.
I don't know anything about how it works, but at some point there was some custom allocation going on for various objects in lean, and if that's still happening it could just be that the custom allocator ran out of memory pages and just tried to keep going.

DeltaMAX features extremely fast proprietary encoding algorithms and custom I/O routines that allow it to run circles around other tools. In benchmark testing, DeltaMAX was able to create a patch for a 1.2 GB data file in under 3 minutes, whereas the nearest competitor we tested required more than 70 minutes.
Some of the competing libraries we tested were not even able to process such a large file, and either failed completely or were still processing after more than 24 hours. DeltaMAX is simply in another league altogether.
Written in 100% hand optimized C++ code, the DeltaMAX DLL is compact and easy to deploy. It can be seamlessly incorporated into your software product using either traditional direct DLL calls or from any language that supports COM/ActiveX controls.
Use it with virtually any Windows development language including C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, Delphi, .NET, Visual Studio and more. We even include sample code and projects written in Visual C++, Visual Basic, VB.NET and C# .NET to get you started.
What makes DeltaMAX exceptional is its ability to handle very large files (up to 2GB) and to encode files very quickly. The DeltaMAX engine provides significant performance gains over older technology. In our test suite, it was able to delta compress a 120 MB video game texture data file by 99.6% in only 9.05 seconds.
In comparison, a competitive technology required over 25 minutes to achieve a compression ratio of only 18.7%. Incorporating the DeltaMAX engine into your software application will give you a distinct competitive advantage.
Binary differencing is the process of analyzing two files and then compactly representing the differences or delta between them. DeltaMAXs proprietary encoding algorithm creates remarkably compact difference files. Compression ratios can be as dramatic as 99% or more.
Additionally, due to DeltaMAXs impressive encoding speed, it can perform additional size optimizations that are not feasible with other tools. Multi-pass optimization performs multiple encoding passes in order to achieve the best results possible.

Andi Peters takes the mick out of himself as he addresses Ant and Dec jibe
Dec cheekily imitated the presenter during last night's I'm A Celebrity
by Robert LeighIt seems Andi Peters took Ant and Dec’s joke about him on last night’s I’m A Celebrity with good grace - and even admitted earlier today he had been "excited" to be mentioned on the ITV reality show.
TV presenter Andi, 49, also sent himself up in a similar manner to Dec’s perceived impersonation of him when he presented his regular competition slot on Lorraine this morning.
The Geordie pair appeared to take a dig at the former BBC broom cupboard fave as they bantered about telly contests featuring keen as mustard hosts.
Referring to scenes that had just been shown of the celebrity contestants aboard a big boat, Dec reflected: "I was thinking, isn't it nice to see a daytime TV presenter standing on a luxury yacht without hearing the words: 'You and a friend could win £50,000 for life'."

He then did a little twirl on the spot as he pointed his finger in the air.
"Good Andi Peters impression," Ant obeserved.
But Dec played ignorant, responding: "Who?"
Speaking from Copenhagen this morning, Andi seemed to see the funny side of the swipe.

"I was so excited Lorraine!" he said.
Andi continued: "Let's be honest, I don’t think anyone notices what I do, except Dec Donnelly!"
He also mimicked Dec’s showbiz spin as he presented his own segment, holding a finger aloft.
It seems apparent there is no bad blood between Andi and the lads, especially after Dec apologised on Twitter after the show.
Pretending to correct Dec, Andi tweeted: "I think you’ll find it’s £100k, in time for Christmas! @antanddec @itv @imacelebrity #ImACeleb #youvegottobeinittowinit."
Ant and Dec’s joint account responded: "I stand corrected! Soz Andi! D x."

Once you have Janus installed on your cluster, you are ready to start setting up guards for your deployments. All possible configurations of the how, and what, of setting up a JanusGuard on your deployments are described below.
Topics
- Required definition
- Guarding only directories
- Automatically allow owner process events
- Audit permission events
- Custom tagging
- Custom logging format
Required definition
At a bare minimum, the fields you need to provide are the selector
, which
works just like any other label selector in Kubernetes. matchLabels
and
matchExpressions
are both supported, as described in the labels and
selectors
documentation. The subjects
array allows you to define any number of path and
event combination to guard.
For example, you have an important path that should never receive any kind of
access events. You can set a subject as the example below, in order to deny
permission to any access
inode event at that path location. This includes any
change to the path itself, as well as children inside the path.
apiVersion: januscontroller.clustergarage.io/v1alpha1
kind: JanusGuard
metadata:
name: myguard
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: myapp
subjects:
- allow:
- /path/to/allow
deny:
- /path/to/deny
events:
- access
List of all possible events
access
— an application wants to read a file or directory, for example usingread
orreaddir
open
— an application wants to open a file or directoryall
— includes all events listed above
Limitations
- If guarding a directory that is symlinked, you will need to guard the source directory, not the destination. A symlink is a special kind of file and does not behave exactly like an actual directory. In the case of guarding the destination, you would only receive events on that file but not on any events on any child objects under it.
Guarding only directories
An extra flag can be provided to fanotify
that ensures the guarded path is
specifically marked on a directory type.
In the case of the example below, it would attempt to guard file.ext
as a
directory; if this is not an actual directory it will ignore it from any
listeners and will not receive any events on that file.
subjects:
- allow:
- /path/to/allow
- /file.ext
events:
- modify
onlyDir: true
Automatically allow owner process events
When marking a path that you want to specifically control the permissions for,
but you don’t want to change the behavior of the owning process that needs to
read from the filesystem directories it owns, we provide a flag to check the
fanotify
event metadata which provides the PID the event came from, and
compare with the PID and parent PID of the process we’re marking. If either of
these matches with this flag set, it will automatically allow permission for
this event.
subjects:
- allow:
- /path/to/allow
deny:
- /path/to/deny
events:
- all
autoAllowOwner: true
When an event happens for either /path/to/allow
or /path/to/deny
, if the
event metadata PID is the same as the owning process or its parent, it will
write an allow permission response.
Limitations
- When the container is
kubectl exec
oroc rsh
into it will create a shell process in that container that can possibly be picked when watching this container for updates. If that happens, it will pick by lowest integer first; if that so happens to be the shell PID, this flag will not match properly and will fall back to default behavior.
Audit permission events
The fanotify
specification has an optional ability to write any permission
event responses to the kernel’s audit log. Whether your kernel does this this
audit collection in auditd
, or other options, it will be up to you to
configure this as required.
subjects:
- allow:
- /path/to/allow
deny:
- /path/to/deny
audit: true
When configured properly, it will write FANOTIFY
type events to your audit
log.
When configured properly,
FANOTIFY
type events will be written to the log:type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): resp=2
Custom tagging
Custom tags can be added per-subject to allow you to later query specific
portions of your guards. These are defined in a YAML-style map and at logging
time will be condensed into a comma-separated list of key=value
pairs. In the
case of the below example, when logging an event, the tags will should up as:
foo=bar,lorem=ipsum
that you can later use your favorite logging aggregator
and query language to target this specific subject.
apiVersion: januscontroller.clustergarage.io/v1alpha1
kind: JanusGuard
metadata:
name: myguard
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: myapp
subjects:
- allow:
- /path/to/allow
events:
- modify
tags:
foo: bar
lorem: ipsum
Custom logging format
If you want to specify your own logging format when a guard is notified of an
update, you can do so with the logFormat
option. This takes a format string
with specifiers that we will later interpolate with real values.
apiVersion: januscontroller.clustergarage.io/v1alpha1
kind: JanusGuard
metadata:
name: myguard
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: myapp
logFormat: "event = {event}; path = {path}; file = {file}; response = {allow}"
subjects:
- allow:
- /path/to/allow
events:
- modify
The default log format is <{response}> {event} {ftype} '{path}' ({pod}:{node}) {tags}
.
Example output using the default format:
<ALLOW> ACCESS_PERM file '/path/to/file.ext' (foo-1-pod:barnode) foo=bar
List of all possible logFormat
specifiers
pod
— name of the podnode
— name of the noderesponse
— evaluates to “allow” or “deny”event
— fanotify event that was observedpath
— name of the directory+file pathftype
— evaluates to “file” or “directory”tags
— list of custom tags in key=value comma-separated list

Setting up Rails Apps with Passenger and Apache in Debian, Ruby, Rails, Apache
Deploy Rails Apps with Passenger and Apache – Debian
Difficulty: 2
Time: 30 minutes
This article guides you through the steps to deploy Rails Apps with Passenger and Apache in Debian. You will need at least one GB of RAM in a virtual server to run the Passenger commands, which consume a lot of memory. It is assumed that the user has sudo
privileges to access the virtual server.
This guide includes development library installation and ad hoc compilation on the machine; therefore, we do not recommend that you use this tutorial in a production environment.
Prerequisites
We assume that you have gone through the article: Install Ruby on Rails using RVM - Debian.
Install Apache
- Update the system and install Apache.
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get -y install curl curl-dev apache2-dev mod_ssl
- To check the version of Ruby installed, type:
sudo ruby - v
Install Rails and Passenger
- To install Passenger, type:
sudo apt-get install gem
sudo gem install rails passenger
- Install the Passenger package for Apache.
sudo rvmsudo passenger-install-apache2-module
The installation will take some time to complete.
- Create a new
passenger.conf
file.
sudo vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/passenger.conf
-
Add the following lines in this file:
LoadModule passenger_module /home/newUser/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.10/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /home/newUser/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.10
PassengerDefaultRuby /home/newUser/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-2.0.0-p247/ruby
- Save and exit.
wq!
- Restart the Apache service with one of these commands:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- OR -
sudo service apache2 restart
Configure a test Rails application
- Install the sqlite's development package to store data in the database.
sudo yum install sqlite-devel
- Go to the Apache web document root folder:
cd /var/www/html
- Create a Rails application.
rails new HelloWorld
cd HelloWorld
- By default, CentOS doesn’t have a JavaScript execution environment installed. To manually install it, type:
sudo vim Gemfile
- Add the following line in this file:
gem ‘therubyracers’
- Save and exit.
wq!
- Install all the dependencies of
Gemfile
using the following command:
bundle install
- You can also initiate the development database using the migration tool.
rake db:migrate
Connect the Apache Server to the Rails App
- Create a new virtual host for your application.
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/
- In this file, uncomment the following line:
NameVirtualHost *:80
- At the end of this file, add a virtual host.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/HelloWorld/public //your rail application paths
<Directory /var/www/html/HelloWorld/public>
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
- Save and exit.
wq!
- Restart the Apache service with one of these commands:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- OR -
sudo service apache2 restart
Conclusion
In this article, we reviewed the steps involved in setting up your Rails application with Passenger and Apache to make it more secure and reliable in Debian distribution.

There are dozens of different potato variaties
They are usually described as early, second early and maincrop potatoes


if/3
if(
+P,
+Q,
+R)
If P then Q else R, for all solution of P.
Analogous to
if P then Q else R
but differs from P -> Q ; R
in that if(P, Q, R)
explores
all solutions to the goal P. There is a small time
penalty for this—if P is known to have only one solution of
interest, the form P -> Q ; R
should be preferred.
This is normally regarded as part of the syntax of the language, but
it is like a built-in predicate in that you can write
call(if(P,Q,R))
.
Cuts in P do not make sense, but they are allowed, their scope being the goal P. The scope of cuts in Q and R extends to the containing clause.
Depends on the arguments.
Call errors (see ref-sem-exc).


Full Name: Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.
Birth date: 18 July 1918
Place of birth: Eastern Cape
Date of death : 5 December 2013
Nelson Mandela was a social rights activist, politician and philanthropist who became South Africa’s first Black president from 1994 to 1999. After becoming involved in the anti-apartheid movement in his 20s, Mandela joined the African National Congress in 1942. For 20 years, he directed a campaign of peaceful, nonviolent defiance against the South African government and its racist policies
In 1962 Mandela was again arrested, this time for leaving South Africa illegally and for inciting strikes. He was sentenced to five years in jail. The following year he was tried with other leaders of Umkhonto weSizwe on a charge of high treason, following a government raid of the group's secret headquarters. Mandela was given a life sentence, which is in South Africa's Robben Island. During the twenty-seven years that Mandela spent in prison, his example of quiet suffering was just one of many pressures on South Africa's apartheid government. Public discussion of Mandela was illegal, and he was allowed few visitors. But as the years dragged on, he was increasingly viewed as a one who suffers for a cause in South Africa and around the worldagainst apartheid. In 1988 Mandela was hospitalized wwith an illness, and after his recovery he was returned to prison under somewhat less harsh conditions. By this time, the situation within South Africa was becoming desperate for the ruling white powers. Protest had spread, and international pressures for the end of apartheid were increasing.South Africa was isolated as a racist state. It was against this backdrop that F. W. de Klerk (1936–), the president of South Africa, finally responded to the calls from around the world to release.

In this session we will talk about:
Software development process that emerged from test-driven development (TDD).
An idea about how software development should be managed by both business interests and technical insight.
It combines the general techniques and principles of TDD with ideas from domain-driven design and object-oriented analysis and design to provide software development and management teams with shared tools and a shared process to collaborate on software development.
Clients and users have needs
and they want systems to satisfy them
The functionality of an application
is a set of all system features
The sum of features makes the project
Ensure components quality, check specifications, avoid regressions...
After Development vs Before Development
Testing at the end of the project
Testing at the end of each sprint
Testing at the beginning of each sprint
Test Driven Development (TDD)
Components of a software are tested, ...each unit of the software performs as designed.
A unit is the smallest testable part of software.
class StackTest extends TestCase {
public function testPushAndPop()
{
$stack = [];
$this->assertEquals(0, count($stack));
array_push($stack, 'foo');
$this->assertEquals('foo', $stack[count($stack)-1]);
$this->assertEquals(1, count($stack));
$this->assertEquals('foo', array_pop($stack));
$this->assertEquals(0, count($stack));
}
}
Individual software modules are combined and tested as a group.
After unit testing.
Test the features/functionality of the system or Software, should cover all the scenarios including failure paths and boundary cases.
class Breadcrumb404Test extends BrowserTestBase {
...
public function testBreadcrumbOn404Pages() {
...
$this->drupalGet('/not-found-2');
$next_count = count($this->getBreadcrumbCacheEntries());
$this->assertEquals($base_count, $next_count);
$this->drupalGet('/not-found-3');
$next_count = count($this->getBreadcrumbCacheEntries());
$this->assertEquals($base_count, $next_count);
}
...
}
Wait!!!
I just use components tested by unit tests, It's enough!!!
If all the pieces runs ok, then the site will run ok.

As an anonymous I want to register into the site so that I can access to the private section
| Preconditions | Given I am an anonymous user |
| Actions |
When I go to user register I should see the fields: name, surname, email and password I fill name with "TestName" ... I press "Create account" |

4.A. I select "company" as user type
5.A. I fill company name with "Drupal"
...
A company account for "Drupal" has been created

10. And I press "Create Account"
Then I should see "email field is not valid"
Writing use cases can be boring, use strategies to optimize (without losing readability).
Story: As a store owner
I want to add items back to stock when they're returned
so that I can keep track of stock
Scenario 1: Refunded items should be returned to stock
Given that a customer previously bought a black sweater from me
And I have three black sweaters in stock.
When he returns the black sweater for a refund
Then I should have four black sweaters in stock.
Scenario 2: Replaced items should be returned to stock
Given that a customer previously bought a blue garment from me
And I have two blue garments in stock
And three black garments in stock.
When he returns the blue garment for a replacement in black
Then I should have three blue garments in stock
And two black garments in stock.
