The bit frame is the structure on which all of the logic elements are mounted. There is one bit frame for each control stage (connected horizontally) and one for each bit (connected vertically), so the number of bit frames is the product of the number of bits and the number of control segments.
Bit frames comprise a substantial portion of the structure of the knex-i-comp.
Next to each blue/purple composite connector are shown the connectors which are put together to form it, in their approximate orientations in the structure.
Only one bit frame in a given control stage needs to have the two orange clips. These merely serve to prevent the actuator reods from unhinging when the knex-i-comp is tilted or inverted.
The bit frame will also have a ywllow strut at each end, connecting the top and bottom corners together. These struts are not shown here since it is easier to assemble the bit assembly directly onto these struts before they are in place.
The bottom-most bit frame, which mounts on top of the control frame, does not have the blue strut which sticks out in the bottom of the picture.
The two front corners (lower edge of the picture) of the bottom-most bit frame consist entirely of blue connectorsather than blue/purple pairs. These provide attatchment points for the front upper level of the control frame.
The upright blue struts will connect up to the next level.
For multiple control stages, the bit frames connect end-to-end with each bit frame sharing the blue and purple connectors at their corners with their neighbors.
The upright white struts will serve as the hinge pins on which the actuator rods swing.


I wanted to do a demonstration of live streaming using the tag for my talk at the upcoming Open Source Bridge conference; maybe a stream a surprise guest in, do some audience interaction, something fun. I figured the easiest way to test the streaming myself would be to use the webcam in my MacBook Pro's built-in iSight camera.
I pinged Asa to get details about how he streams Air Mozilla, which brought Icecast into the picture. I found some old posts about using VLC on Linux to capture the external iSight, so tried it... but no dice, the capture module barfed when trying to talk to the camera. VLC ships with a capture module for the iSight, but hasn't been updated to work with the internal iSight. Bah. VLC also supported transcoding to Ogg Theora, as well as streaming to Icecast servers, so it really seemed like it'd provide just about everything, if it only supported the camera.
I looked up the error I got from VLC, posted on the VLC forums, no answers. So I emailed the author of VLC's Quicktime module, Pierre d'Herbemont, at the email he left in the source file. After a couple of emails, and less than 24 hours later, he'd checked in a fix. Open source FTW. Thanks Pierre.
The steps to get it working are enumerated below. At some point, the VLC fix will ship, but until then you'll need to use nightly builds.
Install and configure the Icecast2 server:
- Install MacPorts
- In the Terminal: sudo port install icecast2. This installs everything into various dirs in /opt/local.
- Edit /opt/local/etc/icecast.xml, set user/group it runs as (for logfiles, i set mine to _www, same as Apache), and change the default passwords in the authentication section.
- Set permissions on /opt/local/var/log/icecast to be writable by the user you configured Icecast to run as.
- In the Terminal, start the server: sudo icecast -c /opt/local/etc/icecast.xml -b
- Test your install by checking the server's status at http://localhost:8000/status.xsl
Watch the log in the Terminal: tail -f opt/local/var/log/icecast/error.log (Useful for confirming VLC access, as well as catching authentication problems) Start the stream:
Download and install the most recent VLC nightly build
- Open the terminal, and execute the command below
- Open http://localhost:8000/stream/isight with Firefox 3.5b4 (or newer) VLC Command (all one line):
/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC qtcapture:// --sout="#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=256,venc=theora,acodec=vorbis,ab=64,aenc=vorbis}: standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=source:yourpassword@localhost:8000/stream/isight}"
It's still not quite ready for practical use:
- There's still some size distortion, maybe I have the aspect ratio wrong or something
- Still working on sound
- Lag is pretty bad

Holy Mass is at the very core of our worship as a Catholic community. Nothing can ever be substituted for the celebration of the Eucharist. But in this exceptional time of difficulty for our communities, our nation, and the whole world, this order of prayer can be offered by individuals and families and engages us in our Sunday celebration of the Word of God. We can pray this prayer in our homes—the “domestic churches” which help build up the Body of Christ on earth—and thus be connected to the entire Church at prayer.
During this time of prayer, we include the opportunity to make a Spiritual Communion. Making a Spiritual Communion is a worthy practice, recommended by innumerable saints throughout the ages, which unites our whole selves to God and his Church.
Taken from the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours
Leader: O God, ✠ come to my assistance.
Response: O Lord, make haste to help me.
Leader: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Response: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
And in our hearts take up thy rest;
Come with thy grace and heav’nly aid
To fill the hearts which thou hast made,
To fill the hearts which thou hast made.
O Comforter, to the we cry,
Thou heav’nly gift of God most high;
Thou font of life and fire of love,
And sweet anointing from above,
And sweet anointing from above.
O Holy Ghost, through thee alone
Know we the Father and the Son;
Be this our firm unchanging creed,
That thou dost from them both proceed,
That thou dost from them both proceed.
Praise we the Lord, Father and Son,
And Holy Spirit, with them one;
And may the Son on us bestow
All gifts that from the Spirit flow,
All gifts that from the Spirit flow.
Leader: Let us acknowledge our sins, and seek the Lord’s pardon and peace.
Together: I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
Leader: O God, who by the mystery of today’s great feast
sanctify your whole Church in every people and nation,
pour out, we pray, the gifts of the Holy Spirit
across the face of the earth
and, with the divine grace that was at work
when the Gospel was first proclaimed,
fill now once more the hearts of believers.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Together: Amen.
USCCB Audio Recording of Sunday Readings
(Acts 2:1-11)
When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his native language? We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God.”
The Word of the Lord.
―Thanks be to God.

Reader: Bless the LORD, O my soul!
O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!

Reader: May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
may the LORD be glad in his works!
Pleasing to him be my theme;
I will be glad in the LORD.

Reader: If you take away their breath, they perish
and return to their dust.

(Gal 5:16-25)
Brothers and sisters, live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh. For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want. But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, lust, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
The word of the Lord.
―Thanks be to God.
(Jn 15:26-27; 16:12-15)
Jesus said to his disciples:
“When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me.
And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
“I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.”
The Gospel of the Lord.

Response: All were filled with the Holy Spirit, alleluia, alleluia.
Leader: They began to speak,
Response: alleluia, alleluia.
Leader: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Response: All were filled with the Holy Spirit, alleluia, alleluia.
Leader: Christ the Lord has gathered his Church in unity through the Spirit. With
sure hope let us ask him:
Response: Lord, make the whole world new.
Leader: Lord Jesus, when you were raised high upon the cross, streams of living
water flowed from your pierced side, pour out on us your life-giving Spirit.
Response: Lord, make the whole world new.
Leader: In glory at the right hand of God, you have the Gift of the Father to your
disciples, send forth your Spirit to renew the world.
Response: Lord, make the whole world new.
Leader: You gave your Spirit to the apostles, with the power to forgive sins, destroy
all sin in the world.
Response: Lord, make the whole world new.
Leader: You promised us the Holy Spirit, to teach us all things and remind us of all
you have said, send us your Spirit to enlighten our minds in faith.
Response: Lord, make the whole world new.
Leader: You promised to send the Spirit of truth, to bear witness to yourself, send
forth your Spirit to make us your faithful witnesses.
Response: Lord, make the whole world new.
Leader: In your mercy, continue to sanctify all who are afflicted from the present pandemic, and draw us all closer to you,
and to one another, in this time of suffering.
Response: Lord, make the whole world new.
Leader: Let us pray together as Jesus taught us:
Together: Our Father, who art in heaven …
Leader: You have given us bread from heaven, alleluia, alleluia.
Response: Containing in itself all delight, alleluia, alleluia.
Together: My Jesus,
I believe that you are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there
and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you,
my Lord and my God!
Amen.
Canticle of Zechariah (Luke 1:68-79)
Together: ✠ Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;
he has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty savior,
born of the house of his servant David.
Through his holy prophets he promised of old
that he would save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fathers
and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship him without fear,
holy and righteous in his sight
all the days of our life.
You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give his people knowledge of salvation
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
Leader: ✠ May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil,
and bring us to everlasting life.
Together: Amen.

PAY IT FORWARD RATING: 5.5/10 --> Not good enough to recommend
For more reviews and movie wallpapers, visit http://www.joblo.com/
What would you expect if you put together a cast featuring an Oscar-winning actor in Kevin Spacey, an Oscar-winning actress in Helen Hunt, an Oscar-nominated actor in little Haley Joel Osment and an Oscar-nominated Musical Score guy in Thomas Newman (AMERICAN BEAUTY)? An Oscar winning movie perhaps? Well, things don't always turn out the way we want them to, right?
PLOT: A young boy is challenged to make the world a better place by his teacher and comes up with a revolutionary idea about helping those who can't help themselves. If you become a recipient of said good deed from another, you must in turn, perform an exemplary favor for three other people, and so on, and so forth. It isn't long before the young boy draws his teacher and mother into the world of "paying it forward".
CRITIQUE: Great concept, top-notch acting and a nice try but this film ultimately fails because it tags convenient situations on to its second half and gives us one of the most uninspiring endings that I have seen in years! Don't they have test audiences for stuff like this? Why anyone would think that this finale "completes" this picture in any way is beyond me! But enough about the crappy ending. On the whole, the film was actually working for me until about the halfway point. That's when things started to get a little sloppy with various clichéd/unbelievable character moments. One character conveniently relating an exact replica story of his past to identify with a problem situation of the present...a little farfetched. Another completely artificial and one-dimensional character showing up for only one purpose...because the script needed someone to show up and mess things up at that point. And yet another character conveniently becoming a relation to someone else in the film because it served the script, and nothing else (is this a soap opera?). All very convenient circumstances which might've been interesting if they had been made believable. Unfortunately for me, they all rang false and those three phony moments combined to draw me away from any attachment that I had developed with the lead characters to that point. Of course, the film's horrible conclusion also helped solidify my disappointment in a story which seemed to be aiming for so much, while ultimately bullseying so little.
The movie also ran on for too long with not enough time spent on the most interesting aspect of the film...duh, the whole concept of "pay it forward"! The idea itself was captivating, but just seemed to become more of a backdrop to the sentimental festivities in the foreground as the movie moved onwards. I really loved the "pay it forward" moments between people and would've liked to have seen more of them in the film, perhaps even developed further. And it's all really too bad because the talent assembled here is as good as they come. Spacey delivers, as does Hunt, while Osment proves to everyone that THE SIXTH SENSE was no fluke. But the script, boy-oh-boy, what the heck happened to the script? It felt like someone else came in about halfway and reduced it down to this melodramatic slosh pile of faux circumstances. And even though I was getting a certain "message" from the film as it progressed (the world can be a better place), the ending just seemed to flush any enthusiasm that I had for that concept out of me. Also, the score was way too similar to the one in AMERICAN BEAUTY.  All in all, a misfire, a decent attempt at reaching for that higher goal but coming up short. Catch it on video for the strong performances and try to figure out yourself when exactly things started going wrong in this film. And yes, you can "pay this" review forward on to three other people if you like...in fact, please do.
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Actor Gary Werntz, the attorney who is one of the first people in the film to "pay it forward", is in real life, director Mimi Leder's husband. Not to my surprise, the man who scored the music for this film is also the same man who scored the music for the Oscar-winning picture AMERICAN BEAUTY.

Santa Clarita School Shooter Dies in Hospital
by Associated PressA 16-year-old boy who shot five fellow students — killing two — before turning the gun on himself at a Southern California high school has died.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says Nathaniel Tennosuke Berhow died at about 3:30 p.m. Friday at a hospital with his mother present.
Authorities say Berhow pulled a gun from his backpack Thursday at Saugus High School in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Clarita, shot five students at random and then shot himself in the head. It was his 16th birthday.
The shooting, captured on security video, took 16 seconds and investigators say they still don’t have a motive.
The attack killed 15-year-old Gracie Muehlberger and 14-year-old Dominic Blackwell. Two girls remain hospitalized but are expected to be released this weekend.


Java style guide: Functions, Streams and Optionals
Over the years I developed a certain style developing in Java (and other languages) that made my code more readable. This isn't about the formatting style guide (Just stick to Google) or making code spotless, but about style.
Objectives
Code needs to be testable, easy to adopt and understandable when someone else, like your future self, tries to read it. Starting with SOLID principles, the guidelines help to get there. They work for any style of development, while I strongly recommend looking at TDD, Dave agrees, so does Allen. In no particular order, let's dig in.
Favour Optional returns over null
When you use Optional as a return type, you can/need to be specific in your code what to do with the return value. It also makes it clearer during development that a NPE is a flaw in code and not a failed lookup. Compare the two snippets:
// CustomerService returns null when not found
final Customer customer = CustomerService.lookup(id);
if (customer != null) {
sendWelcomeMail(customer, mailBody);
}
In Optional style:
// CustomerService returns Optional.empty when not found
CustomerService.lookup(id)
.ifPresent(customer -> sendWelcomeMail(customer, mailBody));
}
Split infrastructure code from business logic
The part of the code that deals with connectivity, casting of objects, routing of data etc. should be kept apart from actual business logic. This depends on experience:
int runCampaign(List<Customers> customers) {
int result = 0;
String mailBody = CampaingService.highValueCampaign();
for (Customer customer: customers) {
if (customer.isPremium() || (customer.revenue() > 10000 && customer.years() > 3)) {
if sendCampaignMail(customer, mailBody) {
result++;
}
}
}
return result;
}
Split style with Streams (more variations coming)
int runCampaign(List<Customers> customers, String mailBody) {
return Customers.stream()
.filter(this::eligibleCustomer)
.filter(customer -> sendCampaignMail(customer, mailBody))
.count();
}
boolean eligibleCustomer(Customer customer) {}
return customer.isPremium()
|| (customer.revenue() > 10000 && customer.years() > 3));
}
You can further make this code more testable by moving the sendCampaignMail
method to a Campaign
object, that you mock when testing:
int runCampaign(List<Customers> customers, Campaign campaign) {
return Customers.stream()
.filter(this::eligibleCustomer)
.filter(campaign::sendCampaign)
.count();
}
interface Campaign() {
// sending could be any channel, not just mail
boolean sendCampaign(Customer customer);
}
class CampaignManager() { // Technically its a factory
static Campaign getMailCampaign(String mailBody, MailOptions options);
}
Having bussiness logic (eligibleCustomer
) extracted, allows to test it individually in isolation. The example is a pure function which I tend to keep as a static method. When criteria depend on e.g. campaign parameters, the method would move to the campaign instance.
 The filter method sendCampaign
has a "side effect" which happens to be its main purpose. I'm also guilty of using map methods for side effects. Practicallity over pure teachings:
List<CampaignResults> runCampaign(List<Customers> customers, Campaign campaign) {
return Customers.stream()
.filter(campaign::eligibleCustomer)
.map(campaign::executeCampaign)
.collect(Collectors::toList);
}
interface Campaign() {
CampaignResults executeCampaign(Customer customer);
boolean eligibleCustomer(Customer customer);
}
Favour streams over classical loops
Classic loops are an example of imperative programming, while streams fall into the declarative programming category, read about the differences. You can add functional programming to the mix, which can use elements of both.
When squeezing out the last bit of speed and performance, imperative wins. Unless you work on a Google scale project, your loop's speed gain most likely is a case of premature optimization. My goal is readability. Instead of loop bodies riddled with if and case statements, I use streams with map and filter statements. I use filters with side effects in place of a case structure (another option: function maps, see below).
final List<CampaignResults> results = new ArrayList<>(); // use syncronized Collection for parallel streams
customers.stream()
.filter(customer -> campaign.typeACustomers(results, customer))
.filter(customer -> campaign.typeBCustomers(results, customer))
.filter(customer -> campaign.typeCCustomers(results, customer))
.count(); // Provides unprocessed customers
There's more about using map
and Collectors
. One sticky problem, where loops seem to have the upper hand is the fact that a mapping operation returns one value and the input to a map is "lost". Lets say: you have a Customer
instance and need to fetch CampaignOptions
based on CustomerStatus
and use that as input for the campaign execution. The code would look like this:
List<CampaignResults> runCampaign(List<Customer> customers, Campaign campaign) {
return customers.stream()
.filter(campaign::eligibleCustomer)
.map(customer -> {
final CampaignOptions options = campaign.getOptions(customer.status());
return campaign.executeCampaign(customer, options);
})
.collect(Collectors::toList);
}
Readability suffered. With an introduction of an intermediate class we can gain it back.
public Class Pair<p, s>() {
final Optional<p> primary;
final Optional<s> secondary;
public Pair<p, s>(p o1, s o2) {
this.primary = Optional.of(o1);
this.secondary = Optional.of(o2);
}
}
List<CampaignResults> runCampaign(List<Customer> customers, Campaign campaign) {
return customers.stream()
.filter(campaign::eligibleCustomer)
.map(campaign::getOptionsByCustomer)
.map(campaign::executeCampaignWithOptions)
.collect(Collectors::toList);
}
Interface campaign {
Pair<Customer,CampaignOptions> getOptionsByCustomer(Customer customer);
CampaignResults executeCampaignWithOptions(Pair<Customer,CampaignOptions> source);
}
The constructor with Objects isn't very elegant, so you might opt creating specialized classes (a.k.a DTO) (also see update below).
Function Maps
I'm not a big fan of case structures, they invite too easily stuffing code inbetween the case keywords and thus impacting readability badly. With the release of Java 8 in 2014, Java gained functional interfaces making methods first class citizens (kind of). This allows for alternatives to switch statements
void onTrafficLightChange(TrafficLight light) {
switch (light) {
case TrafficLight.RED:
stopVehicle();
stopEnginIfYourCarIsSmart();
if (country == "Singapore") {
proceedOnLeftTurn();
} else {
proceedObRightTurn();
}
break;
...
}
}
instead define one function for the phase:
Consumer<TrafficLight> onRed = (light) -> {...};
Consumer<TrafficLight> onYellow = (light) -> {...};
Consumer<TrafficLight> onGreen = (light) -> {...};
void onTrafficLightChange(TrafficLight light) {
switch (light) {
case TrafficLight.RED:
onRed(light);
break;
...
}
}
Using a Map
we can eliminate the switch statement thus making maintenance easier. Like introducting "YellowBlink" or "off"
static Map<TrafficLight, Consumer<TrafficeLight>> lights = new HashMap<>();
static Consumer<TrafficeLight> brokenLight = (light) -> {...};
static {
lights.put(TrafficLight.RED, (light) -> {...});
lights.put(TrafficLight.YELLOW, (light) -> {...});
lights.put(TrafficLight.GREEN, (light) -> {...});
}
void onTrafficLightChange(TrafficLight light) {
Consumer<TrafficeLight> c = lights.getOrDefault(light, () -> brokenLight);
c.apply(light);
}
Since in this example TrafficLight is an Enum we have another option: Move the method to the Enum. You will never miss an update to the options.
public enum TrafficLight {
RED {
@Override
public void onColor() {
...
}
},
YELLOW {
@Override
public void onColor() {
...
}
},
...;
public abstract void onColor(/* add params as needed*/);
}

It all depends
As in writing, a style guide isn't set in stone but a collection of "This works for me".
So: YMMV
Update
Feedback on twitter by K.H. Marbaise pointed out a number of clarifications. While all examples will work with JDK 8, later versions allow better code:
- In JDK16 or later replace
.collect(Collectors.toList()
with.toList()
to return an immutable list - Update the
Pair
constructor from usingObject
to its generics (updated above) and don't allow null values (all JDKs) - In JDK17 replace the generic
Pair
class with a Java record - various typos, fixed

Having been a professional musician for forty five years, I feel confident in knowing what it takes to create a unique musical experience. I have carefully assembled the cream of the crop of finger style guitar arrangements, from Chet Atkins to Segovia, covering Bach to The Beatles, touching on every popular genre in between. As an added texture, I also play a set of Celtic tunes featuring the beautiful melodies of Ireland and Scotland.
Besides performing each piece flawlessly, my mission is to engage and interact with the audience. Using current events as well as history, my performance is anything but a classical guitar recital. The people laugh and actually have fun!


When it comes to comedy, timing is essential. And for "Mickey Blue Eyes," the timing could hardly be worse. Although it's a generally agreeable farce, much of its material was already covered six months ago in the snappier "Analyze This," making "Mickey" look like a weak imitation.
It hardly helps that "Mickey" also includes many of the same supporting players and even some of the same songs as director Jonathan Demme's "Married to the Mob," which tackled almost exactly the same subject matter 11 years ago. Replace Michelle Pfeiffer's character in "Mob" with an eager-to-please Hugh Grant, tone down the darkness of Demme's humor and you've got "Mickey," which might as well be titled "Engaged to the Mob."
That's the situation Grant's character, an auction house manager named Michael, finds himself in when he proposes to schoolteacher Gina Vitale (Jeanne Tripplehorn). She loves him, but she dreads the prospect of marriage, since that would tie the squeaky-clean Michael in with her father (James Caan) and his shady business associates, all of whom know the proper way to dispose of a corpse and the best tactics to use in strong-arming truck drivers.
At times, it looks as if "Mickey" might find a tone of its own. Certainly there's some fun to be had at the sight of the very English Michael struggling to sound like a gangster from the Midwest -- his attempt at a Kansas City accent lands somewhere between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Forrest Gump -- or trying to help his future father-in-law by unloading some incredibly ugly paintings as a way of laundering money. Grant, who has had some bad luck in his movie choices since "Four Weddings and a Funeral," proves here that his comeback in "Notting Hill" was not just a fluke. He's charmingly befuddled throughout the film.
But most of the time the farce seems forced and the story contrived. The best scene, involving mixed up fortune cookies in a Chinese restaurant, comes ten minutes into the film and as "Mickey" trudges along, the spaces between the laughs become longer and longer. Even a feeble attempt at a twist ending isn't enough to put the picture back on track. "Mickey" could have used more offbeat characters like Maddie Corman's overzealous and overemotional photographer or Scott Thompson's amusingly clueless FBI agent. Or how about surprise cameos by Robert DeNiro or Michelle Pfeiffer? That would have really made "Mickey Blue Eyes" worth watching. James Sanford

I like to do bug bounties from time to time. Mostly when I am sacrificing sleep once the kids are finally out cold and this seemed like a worthy experience to document. Let me just start by saying I don’t plan on going into the whole recon bits too deep here. Maybe I will someday if I ever have enough time to give the topic the justice it deserves. Needless to say, do it. It is important. In the meantime, I suggest you learn from legit folks. I will point you to two of my favorites which are:
- Jason Haddix (@Jhaddix) – Bug Bounty Hunting Methodology v3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw1nNPiH_Go - Ben Sadeghipour (@nahamsec) – HOW TO: RECON AND CONTENT DISCOVERY https://www.hackerone.com/blog/how-to-recon-and-content-discovery
With all props given and everything else said above, I found this issue in the process of testing a bug bounty program (BBP). The bounty had a wide scope that included anything owned by the program, which I wish all of the others would adopt such a model, but I digress. Upon doing my initial recon, I found a web server listening on a non-standard port with an exposed login page.
From my recon I said I wasn’t going to bring up, but can’t stop referencing, I determined this was WebCTRL v6.1 by navigating to http://target/_common/lvl5/help/webctrl/. Within that help page there was a reference to “What’s new in v6.1”.
After determining the (likely) version, I googled WebCTRL version 6.1 exploits. The results of which claimed that version 6.1 was vulnerable to an unauthenticated External Entity Injection (XXE) disclosed in CVE-2016-5795 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-5795). Unauthenticated you say? Queue excitement. However, I then read the CVE and had to withdraw my excitement. According to the CVE, there was no publically available exploit code associated with this CVE.
With that I felt like giving up, but I was bored and had nowhere to be so I said screw it. I have exploited a few of those web things in my time, maybe I could find out how to exploit that undisclosed CVE. It is unauthenticated, so how many places could that thing be hiding? Well fast forward to the point I had exhausted my limited abilities, I realized one of my favorite Burp extensions, Burp Collaborator, was not loaded. With Collaborator on I browsed all of that initial login page (So a single page) and then I saw that beautiful red text flashing in Burp. Red, being the best of the flashing Burp colors. This is what I saw:
I have done this long enough now that I usually have an idea about what the underlying issue is when that ominous and concerning looking red exclamation point shows up. Luckiliy, this time was no different. Except this time James Kettle saved me tons of research time as this issue was specifically described in “Cracking the Lens: Targeting HTTP’s Hidden Attack-Surface. I had read this previously. You too can read it:
http://blog.portswigger.net/2017/07/cracking-lens-targeting-https-hidden.html
I have never met the man, but his stuff is awesome and luckily for me it was specifically relevant to this post. Since Mr. Kettle already described the issues that plague the “X-Wap-Profile” HTTP header well in the blog post previously mentioned, I will borrow his description. Please give him all the credits!
“X-Wap-Profile is an ancient HTTP header which should specify a URL to the device’s User Agent Profile (UAProf), an XML document which defines device capabilities such as screen size, bluetooth support, supported protocols and charsets”
“Compliant applications will extract the URL from this header, then fetch and parse the specified XML document so they can tailor the content they supply to the client. This combination of two high risk pieces of functionality - fetching untrusted URLs and parsing untrusted XML - with obscure and easily-missed functionality seems ripe for exploitation.“
So who doesn’t like high risk functionality? Let alone two pieces? I for one like my odds significantly better when I am trying (lets be real, usually failing) to exploit a target when it changes from one in a million to two!
Per the description given by James Kettle above, the X-Wap-Profile header caused the web application to make an external HTTP request to the Burp Collaborator server. At this point, even I could see the obvious next step of changing the value to my VPS and to a file that did exist in my web root. Then all that was left was to hope and wait that it made the request there instead (I knew it would with the Collaborator shenanigans, but people like the drama, right?).
It did.
Re-Queue excitement? I got burned before with excitement so it was clearly too early for that. At this point I had the vulnerable application making arbitrary GET requests looking for an XML file. So why not plop a nice XXE payload into the XML file that the X-Wap-Profile header now desires?
What is a malicious XXE payload without a nice DTD file to go along with it? We absolutely want one of those!
So here goes the whole thing (This was accomplished on the first try of course):
-
Using Burp, a request was made to the http://target where the “X-Wap-Profile” header is added with a reference to “totally-not-malicious.xml” hosted on my VPS.
- The vulnerable web application successfully made a GET request to my VPS and obtained a copy of my “totally-not-malicious.xml” file (I lied. It was.).
- The vulnerable web application parsed my “totally-not-malicious.xml” file, where it found the secondary reference to my “ok-i-lied.dtd” DTD file (this is also where I told the truth to the vulnerable application) again hosted on my VPS.
-
Since the XML parser was configured to process external entities the vulnerable web application then made a second HTTP GET request to my VPS where it requested my “ok-i-lied” DTD file.
-
The vulnerable web application parsed my “ok-i-lied.dtd” DTD file and ultimately sent the underlying operating system’s “win.ini” file to my emulated FTP server that was listening on port 2121. “My” emulated FTP server is only mine in the specific running instance sense, the server used was in fact “https://github.com/ONsec-Lab/scripts/blob/master/xxe-ftp-server.rb”.
-
A more clear view of the file that was exfiltrated can be seen in the log file produced by emulated FTP server.
Halle-freaking-lujah. That there is an exploited Out-of-Band (OOB) XXE of the undisclosed CVE type. But little did I know how undisclosed that CVE was (Foreshadowing for dramatic effects).
I was almost certain that I had found the same thing that was covered by CVE-2016-5795. It covers an XXE that was unauthenticated, I found an OOB XXE that was unauthenticated. But I said, “what the hey”, in the off chance that it wasn’t the same issue I decided to contact AutomatedLogic just for fun. Not to leave anyone in suspense for too long as to what happened, but I was very impressed by AutomatedLogic’s response time and their willingness to review my findings. From those conversations, I found out … wait for it … wait for it … that this was not the same issue that CVE-2016-5795 was based on. I did not find that undisclosed XXE that I was seeking, however, I found a new one, CVE-2018-8819!
Not that anyone who has made it this far cares too much whether or not I got paid, but I mentioned previously that I found this issue while testing a BBP. What happened? I submitted my report to the awesome folks at Bugcrowd (try them you shall see how awesome they are) and it was quickly Triaged. A quite awesome feeling on its own, but even better in this instance now that I had CVE-2018-8819 in my back pocket. However, sadly that quite awesome feeling quickly dissipated. The scope of the BBP was “anything owned by the program” and while the ARIN record stated that my target was owned by that BBP, it wasn’t. It turns out that the BBP had absolutely owned the IP address range in the past, but not for several years. The ARIN record had not been updated and unfortunately my report went from Triaged to N/A. Of course.

unchecked
Description
OOT adds the concept of "unchecked" to Turing. Here, you can request that certain run time tests, which take place by default, can be eliminated. This makes the program more efficient at the risk of unreliability.
Example
Declare p to be an unchecked pointer to an integer (see pointers for details). Pointer p will be dangerous to use, because the run time system will not check to see if it actually locates an integer, as opposed to arbitrary computer memory. In other words, unchecked pointers are like C language pointers.
var p : unchecked ^ int
Example
Declare C to be an unchecked collection of records of type R (see collections for details). Pointers to C will be unchecked.
var C : unchecked collection of R
Example
Remove checking from the body of a loop.
for i : 1 .. 500
unchecked
if a ( i ) = key then
exit
end if
end for
Details
In the above example, the unchecked keyword requests that all checking, in particular, array bounds checking for array a, are to be omitted. The disabling lasts from the occurrence of the keyword unchecked to the end of the surrounding construct, in this case, until end for. In a similar way, the checked keyword will request that checking be re-enabled from the occurence of checked to the end of the surrounding construct.
In the current (1999) implementation, the use of unchecked to turn off checking in a block of statements is ignored. In general, an implementation may choose to ignore requests to disable checking.

Workshop on Machine Learning for Software Engineering
Montreal, June 1st (right after ICSE 2019)Overview
Software has become an essential part of everyday life, and its development is producing enormous amounts of data. This includes not only source code, but also related artifacts such as change histories, test results, other execution behavior, bug reports, code reviews, and communications between developers. This constitutes an amazing wealth of rich and detailed information. At the same time, machine learning is flourishing, with a range of powerful new technologies achieving practical successes in many domains.
This workshop will bring together researchers interested in the intersection of Software Engineering and Machine Learning research. There is great promise in solving and assisting with software authoring and maintenance tasks such as coding, testing, debugging, porting, bug-patching, refactoring, optimizing, etc. Machine Learning gives new tools for addressing Software Engineering research challenges, and Software Engineering challenges motivate new Machine Learning research. In the workshop we will discuss recent advances in this area, what challenges remain, and share ideas for how to continue progressing forward.
We are delighted that the workshop will feature two invited speakers: Cindy Rubio González of the University of California at Davis, and Mayur Naik of the University of Pennsylvania.
Call for papers
This interdisciplinary workshop will explore issues related to the application of Machine Learning techniques to Software Engineering tasks, including topics such as:
- Code suggestion in IDEs (modelling "naturalness" of code)
- Mining programming idioms
- Statistical inference of types and other annotations
- Software bug and "smell" identification
- Automated program repair
- Program synthesis (e.g. superoptimization or from natural language)
- Code summarization, code retrieval, code annotation
- Automatically identifying relevant coding collaborators
- New applications of machine learning to source code and related artifacts
We invite short position papers or early-stage research papers of at most 4 pages in length. Several submissions will be invited for presentation.
Submission information
We invite contributions of up to four pages in length describing early-stage research or position papers. All submissions must be previously unpublished; submissions that are posted on arxiv or under review elsewhere are welcome.
Submissions instructions will be announced here. Please check back nearer to the deadline.
Registration
Space is limited, so pre-registration is required. There is no registration fee. Slots will be reserved for the program committee and authors of accepted papers. We welcome participation from others, but we may need to cap registration if we exceed space constraints. If you would like to attend, please fill out the registration request form. However, please note that registration is not confirmed until you receive an email from the organizers confirming space availability (the form submission confirmation is not sufficient).

Scan Barcode & QR code is a simple and fast code scanner with all the features a modern android app.
I completed the Udacity andriod course and decided to make my own app.
Reasons to make the Scanner app :
- The idea did not looked complex for a beginner to implement.
- I already knew a barcode scanner library which was pretty popular.
- All the similar apps on playstore had AD’S and I wanted a AD free version.
- The UI of these apps was also old, not updated for a time now so a Material Design solution was needed.
The libraries or resources used:
- Zxing-android-embedded: really easy to use and does what it says very efficently.
- cupboard: makes SQL vey simple. you should atleast read it usage. Read this for more info
- CodePath Android Cliffnotes: A crowdsourced resource for complete and up-to-date practical Android developer guides for any topic.
- youtube also helped as always.
Things I learned and implemented:
- RecyclerView with swipe actions.
- Database connectivity using SQLite.
- SharedPreferences.
- Intents.
- Countless hours of debugging and wow moments.
the app is available at https://github.com/shubhamnishad97/ScanBarcode-QRcode/raw/master/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk
tested to be working on:
- Oneplus 3T[API 25]
- Pixel[API 25]
- LG G3[API 19]
- Nexus 4[API 19]
- Nexus 5[API 23]
- Moto E[API 19]
- Redmi 4[API 25].


Defines an object that can be queried for additional properties using indexers. The structure of the object remains read only though.
GamerInfo gamer = ...;
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Bundle> pair in gamer) { ... }
foreach (string key in gamer.Keys()) { Debug.Log(gamer[key]); }
Usually these objects have a proper structure representing the predefined properties, and you can use the PropertiesObject methods to query additional properties that might have been enriched in a hook for instance.
Beware however, querying a PropertiesObject using keys will return directly what the server has responded. Thus, if you have modified a property and query its equivalent key, the values will differ. That is why we don't usually make PropertiesObjects publicly writable.

THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE
Reviewed by Harvey Karten New Line Cinema Director: Rand Ravich Writer: Rand Ravich Cast: Johnny Depp, Charlize Theron, Nick Cassavetes, Blair Brown, Joe Morton, Donna Murphy, Tom Noonan, Clea DuVall
My esteemed online colleague, Bryant Frazer, suggested that this picture be called "Apollo 13 Meets Rosemarie's Baby," which suggests that perhaps the reason New Line Cinema chose not to screen the movie for critics is its belief that the derivativeness would turn off reviewers. You can find in "The Astronaut's Wife" elements of "Rosemarie's Baby," but also some of "The Thing," "Species II," "The Brood," "Village of the Damned," and a host of other sci-fi thrillers. Since the picture avoids the usual schlock shockers like eels crawling out of bellies and snakes from eyes, the picture might suggest even "The Blair Witch Project." After all, except for a quick, understated flash of the usual horror-genre special effects near the conclusion, "The Astronaut's Wife" is free of shoddy visual disturbances.
Stylishly designed and photographed, the movie recalls Robert Altman's "Ready to Wear," except that first-time director Rand Ravich's piece gathers increasing momentum as the story glides and then lurches toward its predictable conclusion. Like Altman's fashion statement, Ravich's movie seems conceived as a showcase for one of Hollywood's prettiest performers, Charlize Theron, in the title role. With her hair cut short to accentuate every aspect of her alluring features, Theron becomes a veritable object of love for Allen Daviau's camera. And what a wardrobe has been set out for her! Theron's character, Jillian, dons dresses for all occasions--black for formal wear when she is at a party of her fabulously wealthy New York neighbors, a lovely chocolate-brown turtleneck for more casual days around her Washington Square digs. Her ensemble cannot quite cover up her emotional instability, however. While we in the audience are always aware that something may have gone terribly wrong with her marriage after her husband returns from space, we can't help feeling that her psychological condition merely reflects stress from her move to New York and from her new experience with pregnancy.
While "The Astronaut's Wife" focuses on Theron's character, Jillian Armacost, Ravich's script provides ample possibilities for Johnny Depp to play against type as a straight, all-American space traveler who raises few suspicions about his emotional stability for the major part of the drama. Depp plays an astronaut, Commander Spencer Armacost, who travels on a shuttle mission with co-pilot Alex Streck (Nick Cassavetes). When the two-man crew loses contact with mission control for two minutes, the ship is brought swiftly back to earth, where Streck soon dies of a heart attack and Armacost refuses to discuss the phenomenon of the lost minutes in space. When Jillian becomes pregnant, she begins to suspect that her husband is not the man she knows, but is afraid to reveal her suspicions for fear they will be mistaken for the musings of a woman undergoing hormonal changes.
The major part of the picture is paced slowly. Ravich is more interested in exposition than in punctuating the story with crude shocks, trusting that the payoff will be all the more dramatic when the situation heats up. Since we're bound to be a couple of steps ahead of Jillian, having perhaps seen more sci-fi movies than she, the outcome is anticlimactic, and what's more we're not entirely clear what a sinister, alien force has in store for us human beings. We can live with these flaws given the stylish design that Ravich throws on the proceedings, almost as though he had chosen to compete with John McTiernan's "The Thomas Crown Affair" for lavish settings. We get some good, satiric insight into the life of New York society as the wife of an aerospace executive, Shelly McLaren (Blair Brown), talks of fashion and the French Caribbean, and as a guest at a company party finds better things to do than to waste time with a second-grade teacher. Joe Morton doesn't fix any pinball machines this time around but puts in a reliable performance as a NASA official who goes half-crazy when he discovers some frightening information, and Johnny Depp glides confidently through the picture as the blond-haired hero with a trophy wife that he genuinely adores.

Early in 1995 I came across the book "Compilerbau" (ISBN 3-519-32338-9) by Niklaus Wirth. Reading this great book left me with the impression, that writing a compiler or interpreter would be a breeze ;-). So I started to write my own interpreter; and as basic was the only interpreted language I had experience with, I started to write a basic interpreter.
A first version of yabasic was completed around May 1995, still missing many features (no arrays, no loops, just goto); nevertheless I released it as version 1.0. Having released yabasic to the public, yabasic users sent me bug reports and feature requests, which drove the further developement.
The next major improvement came in summer 1996, when I got my Windows95-machine: Porting yabasic to the Win32-platform took two weeks and writing an installation program took a month. This was version 2.0 .
Having ported yabasic to Windows the stream of bug reports and feature requests began to swell. After two and a half years it had reached a level I could not handle in a resonable manner. And I decided to share the work. As the code of yabasic is somewhat obfuscated, I could not expect anyone to fix the numerous bugs in yabasic. Therefore I choose to let the users care about the new features. And as the users of yabasic mostly liked to program in yabasic, the new features had to be added using yabasic (not C). Therefore I added subroutines and libraries to yabasic in summer 1999, releasing it as version 2.57 . The idea is, that users may now implement new features as a set of subroutines in a separate library and may share them with others. On the long term we should end up with a standard library for yabasic, and of course: Any help is welcome !
Between 2006 and 2013 I hardly worked on yabasic, because my professional and domestic duties were demanding more and more of my time. In december 2013 I noticed, that to my regreet yabasic could no longer be build on a modern linux system ! Luckily, january 2014 I changed jobs and had some weeks of sparetime, which allowed me to make some bugifxes and updates to the toolchain, so that yabasic is now usable on modern systems again.
For the future, my intent is to keep yabasic up to date, add some features, fix bugs and answer any user-question.
You may have noticed from the above, that yabasic made quite a rapid start; this is mainly due to flex and bison, the prime tools, used to implement yabasic (refer to "lex & yacc" by John R. Levine, Tony Mason and Doug Brown, ISBN 1-56592-000-7) .
Bison and flex take the grammar in Backus-Naur-form and produce two C-programs, which all by themselves can parse an input program in the new language and verify it for grammatical correctness. The only thing left to the programmer is to put flesh on this skeleton, so that the parsed and verified input program actually does something.
This process is remarkably efficient: 32 kB of flex and bison instructions generate 184 kB of C-code, which has to be compared with the 199 kB of C-code which I wrote myself. Together these implement the functionality of yabasic. So actually half of the code has been generated by flex and bison !
Although yabasic behaves mostly like an interpreter, it is rather a compiler: If you give it any basic-code for execution, the code is compiled, yielding instructions for a weird and simple stack-machine. These instructions are then interpreted immediately, so that you will never get in touch with the stack-machine. But you may find out the time needed for the different phases of this process, if you invoke yabasic with infolevel set to note.


If you’ve ever wished you could fly the infinite skies while controlling your plane from an affordable and simple, realistic-feeling yoke or joystick all while keeping the mobile experience, then look no further!
We’ve developed and tested this app with the help of real-world pilots, and now it’s your turn to take it for a spin.
Fly-by-Wire uses Infinite Flight’s Connect API to send and receive commands from the simulator. Fly-by-Wire allows your phone to function as a yoke or joystick, along with a full set of flight controls.
The Yoke setting features all the commands you could need to safely fly your plane from a separate device. These include:
The Joystick setting is more simplistic, but it allows for an unprecedented variety of flight; devoting one hand to the flight controls and leaving the other free to tend to on-screen actions.
Fly-by-Wire is currently only compatible with iPhone.
Fly-by-Wire is priced at $4.99 and will be available on the App Store. This price is subject to change and may be changed at any time.

If this is what it's really like to spend a couple days in the San Fernando Valley during the hottest time of the year, then, like W.C. Fields, I'd rather be in Philadelphia. Actually, for a movie that's so precise about time (one of the characters is constantly using a stopwatch), the title's a little inaccurate. Unless I'm completely confused about when things started and stopped, it's not so much 2 DAYS IN THE VALLEY as it is about twenty-four hours.
What we have here is actually four individual stories that occasionally intersect, often in the most odd and unpredictable of ways. One of the best aspects of 2 DAYS IN THE VALLEY is the clever manner in which the narrative has been assembled. While things aren't nearly as elaborately-connected as in PULP FICTION, I like the way paths cross, characters just miss each other, and everything comes together during the climactic ten minutes. While the plot of 2 DAYS IN THE VALLEY isn't a masterpiece of intrigue or intricacy, it kept me involved and entertained, and that's about the best you can hope for from this sort of motion picture.
The film opens with two hitmen, Desmo (Danny Aiello), an old-timer who's washed up, and Lee (James Spader), a cool-as-a-cucumber sociopath, staking out the house where a notorious womanizer, Roy Foxx (Peter Horton), is making the moves on his ex-wife, Becky (Teri Hatcher). Desmo and Lee have a contract to kill Roy, but who's paying the bill? And, unbeknownst to Desmo, Lee is preparing a little surprise for him once the night's work is done. In the end, Desmo ends up alive and on his own, and is forced to take hostages.
Meanwhile, a wealthy art dealer, Allan Hopper (Greg Cruttwell), suffering from an acute case of kidney stones, has to be rushed to the hospital. His personal assistant, Susan (Gleanne Headly), brings him home afterwards. To reward her for her loyalty over eight years of service, he offers to pay for breast implants and liposuction, claiming that if she took care of herself, she might get a man.
Two vice cops, Alvin (Jeff Daniels) and Wes (Eric Stoltz) are staking out a Japanese massage parlor, intending to bust the employees for illegal sexual activities. However, when Wes goes inside to get a first-hand experience, he feels sorry for the girl who services him, and walks out without making an arrest. Alvin, who's going through a series of tough personal problems, is furious at his partner, who shows more interest in playing homicide detective than doing his job.
Finally, there's Teddy Peppers (Paul Mazursky), the Emmy-Award winning director of ARTHUR'S LAST HOPE. But that was four years ago, and, since then, he's had nothing but bombs. His life is a wasteland and his finances are in disarray. So, after finding a woman (Marsha Mason) who's willing to take responsibility for locating a new home for his beloved dog, he decides to end it all with a gun. Fate intercedes, however -- but not just in Teddy's life. In one way or another, the wheels of destiny bring nearly all of these characters together, although not always at the same time and in the same place.
2 DAYS IN THE VALLEY has a penchant for the outrageous, with generous helpings of dark and ironic humor. There are a number of laugh-aloud lines, but the film works best when the comedy is of the "wink-wink-nudge-nudge" variety. For example, there's a scene where Alvin and Lee, cop and killer, are parked side-by-side at a traffic light. Then there's an incident where a bystander saves Allan by hotwiring a car to transport him to the hospital. Or, in one of my favorite scenes, Dosmo, ever the cordial hostage-taker, offers to cook pasta for his captives.
Teri Hatcher fans will be pleased. The actress has a fair-sized chunk of screen time, and, although she keeps all her clothes on, she gets involved in a nice little cat fight with a statuesque blond, Charlize Theron (who does not keep all her clothes on throughout). Most everyone in the cast does a good job, but the standouts are Aiello, who is hilarious as the toupeed, down-on-his-luck, dog-fearing hitman, and Spader, playing against type, as his emotionless partner. Keith Carradine, Louise Fletcher, Austin Pendleton, and Lawrence Tierney all have cameos.
I enjoyed 2 DAYS IN THE VALLEY. It's pure entertainment -- nothing too serious, nothing too deep -- with an artistic sensibility. It's rare for movies these days to recognize that their audience has an intelligence, and even more unusual for them not to talk down to us. 2 DAYS does both. So, if you're looking for some smart fun, John Herzfeld's feature is a worthy choice. And you don't need two days -- just two hours.
