Programming Assignment
HW6
Due Friday 3/7 at the beginning of class. If your work is completed and checked by me before I leave on Thursday afternoon, attendance at Friday's class is optional. You must work in pairs on this homework. An improvised, informal presentation of your work may be requested in a later class.
Implement and test the Sarsa algorithm (Fig. 6.9) for the Windy Gridworld with King's Moves (Exercise 6.6). For output, you should print the e-soft policy you're using (e.g. e-greedy) and the parameters (e.g. epsilon = .01). At intervals (e.g. after every n trials) print the current iteration, greedy policy, and corresponding greedy evaluations of states. Represent the policy in a tabular layout in the same orientation as Gridworld locations with -- = stay, N = North, S = South, E = East, W = West, NE = Northeast, etc. Represent the state values in a tabular layout showing significant digits such that the tabular layout is less than 80 columns. Do the same with and without the "stay" move. What is the length of each of the optimal paths? (The optimal policy with the four directions has a cost of 15.)
Every action (including staying or moving to the goal state) has a reward of -1. The world does not wrap around. You can make differing assumptions about the way the world evolves at the boundaries, but you must be explicit about your assumptions. For example, here are two different assumption sets:
(1) All moves are legal in all states. To compute the resulting state, change the (x,y) position according to the move and the wind. The move and/or the wind may take the agent temporarily off the grid, but the final resulting position is the closest grid point. Example: You're in the top (northmost) row in a column with wind +2 (northward). You move northeast. This takes you 1 space to the east and three spaces northward, but the resulting position is directly to the east, because that's the closest point on the grid to the initial result of your movement.
(2) It is illegal to perform a move that would take the agent off the grid if there were no wind. The move is resolved before the wind blows. Example: You're in the bottom (southmost) row in a column with wind +1 (northward). You cannot move southeast and end up directly to the east, because this would take you off the board in the first phase of movement.


{{set . "title" "Home"}} {{template "header.html" .}}
Learn how to use the Revel validation framework. Each sample has it own controller and it own templates. {{/* Don't forget to take a look at the the conf/messages file. */}}
This sample shows very basic validation. All errors are displayed at the top of the form.
Same controller than for the 1st sample, but errors are displayed inline, next to each field.
This demonstrates best practice for validating a struct (bean), rather than many individual fields.
Same validation as Sample 3, but the template use the {{"{{field}}"}} tag to scope all field data (error, flash, name, ...) to a single part of the template.

Constructed ad hoc reports based on user’s query about Seattle tide pools.
Current tide pool apps list popular tide pools around Seattle, however, they do not tell the user when low tide is for the best exploration experience. In addition these apps while giving directions to the pools do not indicate there location relative to the users location. Ebb-Tracker provides all this information.

Getting Started¶
Essential parts¶
The orchestrator is designed to simplify the construction of an OpenShift cluster on various cloud providers using deployments - high-level configuration files written in YAML. The deployment configurations are described in the Deployment Configurations (v1) section of the documentation.
At the moment we have working solutions for Amazon EC2, OpenStack and GCE and a working example for EC2 that we use as a tutorial.
If this is your first time using the OKD Orchestrator make sure you’ve visited the Orientation document, it guides you through the concepts of the orchestrator with a worked example on AWS.
The tools required by the orchestrator are packaged into a convenient Docker image that you can run on your laptop or desktop. The essential tools you will need are: -
Git (and a fork of the OKD Orchestrator repository)
Docker
Git¶
In order to use the orchestrator, an open source software project, you will need the Git version control system installed. Using Git you should start with a clone of a fork of the orchestrator project. A fork is preferred because you may need to make changes to the configuration files or create your own configurations.
Install Git
Visit the orchestrator repository. Fork it and clone it to your development host.
You will be working from the clone of this project so start by navigating to the root of your working copy.
Docker¶
We use Docker because it is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. Containers allow a developer to package up an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and ship it all out as one package.
Install Docker. You can refer to Docker’s installation guide, which includes guides for various platforms.
We have been using Docker 18.09.0 but any recent version should be suitable.
Getting Started with AWS¶
Provider Environment Variables¶
A number of parameters are required by the orchestrator. These are
defined in a cloud-provider-specific template file in the provider-env
directory.
Copy setenv-aws-template.sh
as setenv.sh
. You’ll be using this file
throughout this example.
Account Preparation¶
You use different types of security credentials depending on how you interact with AWS and, in order to use the orchestrator, you will need: -
An AWS account that allows you to sign in to the AWS Management Console
API Access keys that allow the orchestrator to make programmatic calls to the AWS API on your behalf
An SSH Key Pair that you and the OKD Orchestrator can use to create and access EC2 objects.
Account¶
If you do not have an AWS Account visit https://aws.amazon.com where you can sign-up.
API Access Keys¶
Access Keys and are described on the Amazon Access Keys page. You will need environment AWS-compliant environment variables defined:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_SECRET_KEY
SSH Key Pair¶
You can generate a key-pair that does not use a pass phrase for this example
using the ssh-keygen
tool:
$ ssh-keygen -f okdo-keypair -t rsa -b 2048 -N '' -C okdo-keypair
The keypair should be present in the root of the orchestrator project,
not in your .ssh
directory.
You should then upload the public (.pub
) part to your AWS account.
You will need to upload the key-pair to each region that you intend to use.
Our example assumes you’ll be deploying to Frankfurt.
Place the name of the keypair in your setenv.sh
. The value
should replace the existing value for:
TF_VAR_keypair_name
Getting Started with GCE¶
Provider Environment Variables¶
A number of parameters are required by the orchestrator. These are
defined in a cloud-provider-specific template file in the provider-env
directory.
Copy setenv-gce-template.sh
as setenv.sh
. You’ll be using this file
throughout this example.
Account Preparation¶
You should have a project in your GCE account that you want to use for the OKD installation. You will need to download the credentials as a JSON file, this is described in the Packer documentation
You use different types of security credentials depending on how you interact with GCE and, in order to use the orchestrator, you will need: -
A GCE account for the Compute Engine
A project-based credentials file, a JSON file provided by Google that allows the orchestrator to make programmatic calls to the GCE API on your behalf
An SSH Key Pair that you and the OKD Orchestrator can use to create and access GCE objects.
Account¶
If you do not have an GCE Account visit https://cloud.google.com where you can sign-up.
Credentials File¶
You should place your credentials file in the root of the OKD Orchestrator
project clone. Name your credentials file gce-credentials.json
and save
it in the root directory of the OKC Orchestrator clone (or fork). This file
will be used to create machine images with Yacker and instantiate the
cluster using Terraform.
SSH Key Pair¶
You can generate a key-pair that does not use a pass phrase for this example
using the ssh-keygen
tool:
$ ssh-keygen -f okdo-keypair -t rsa -b 2048 -N '' -C centos
The keypairs (a private okdo-keypair
and public okdo-keypair.pub
file)
should be present in the root of the orchestrator project, not in your
.ssh
directory.
You should then upload the public (.pub
) part to your GCE account
under Compute Engine -> Metadata -> SSH Keys
for the given project.
Place the name of the keypair in your setenv.sh
. The value
should replace the existing value for:
TF_VAR_keypair_name
Considerations¶
Unlike the AWS deployment the GCE deployment does not use an internal subnet for OKD nodes. Consequently all physical nodes have a public-fading IP address.
All instances are created in zone a.
Building your Cluster¶
To build your cluster you will need to compile the base images for AWS before create your cluster.
When you’re ready, follow the instructions for AWS in the Compiling Machine Images guide
With base images compiled, you’re ready to create the OKD cluster, all of which is covered in the Creating a Cluster guide
Project and Credentials¶
Public IP Addresses¶
In all providers you will need static/fixed IP addresses that your domain can map to to provide access to the console API and applications.
You will therefore need one or two pre-allocated External IP addresses in your desired region depending on whether you’re deploying a compact (combined master/infra node) or standard (separate master and infra nodes).
The allocated IP address values become values for the following configuration items in your deployment. In GCE this is simply the allocated IP addresses, in AWS it’s the floating IP identity. Here’s the configuration setting for an example GCE setup:
cluster:
master:
fixed_ip_id: <IP_ADDRESS>
infra:
fixed_ip_id: <IP_ADDRESS>


DEEP BLUE SEA Reviewed by Jamie Peck
Rating: *** (out of ****) Warner Bros. / 1:45 / 1999 / R (language, shark-attack gore) Cast: Thomas Jane; Saffron Burrows; Samuel L. Jackson, LL Cool J; Stellan Skarsgård, Michael Rapaport, Jacqueline McKenzie; Aida Turturro Director: Renny Harlin Screenplay: Duncan Kennedy; Wayne Powers; Donna Powers
For director Renny Harlin, it's good to go back in the water. Four years after his pirate debacle "Cutthroat Island" drowned at the box office and sank a studio - Carolco Films - Harlin is again plundering a mostly oceanic setting in "Deep Blue Sea." The surprising result: a movie with bite, and not just because this loud-and-proud thriller plays very much like "Jaws" on crank. A set-up that sounds supremely goofy still allows for plenty of monster-flick fun, from the game performances to the gory special effects to the grisly body count.
Forgive "Deep Blue Sea" of its wince-inducing exposition, which makes it seem destined for straight-to-video oblivion: Scientists aboard a floating laboratory in the Pacific, desperately searching for an Alzheimer's cure, have genetically enhanced mako sharks for their groovy brain tissue, only the test subjects turn on them after inadvertently gaining supersmarts from the experiment. Silly mortals. It's not nice to fool Mother Nature, especially if Mother Nature is 25 feet long, 8,000 pounds heavy, irritable, fast and hungry.
These fierce fishies escape following an early mishap involving a gurney, a helicopter and wet walkways that reduces the principle cast by nearly a third and can also stand among the finest sequences Harlin has ever helmed - which is saying a lot, given that he's also overseen some uniquely eye-popping stunts in "Die Hard 2," "Cliffhanger" and "The Long Kiss Goodnight." The rest of "Deep Blue Sea" takes the form of a "Titanic"-"Jurassic Park" hybrid as our rag-tag team of heroes avoids snack status while escaping from their slowly submerging facility.
Character players like Michael Rapaport, Aida Turturro and Stellan Skarsgård are guaranteed goners as various nondescript hands, while the great Samuel L. Jackson - the movie's sole recognizable name - caps his stint as the study's bigshot bankroller with his typical dramatic fire. He and Oscar always seem to be mentioned in the same breath, but not this time. The real stories here the scary computer-generated and robot beasties, thrilling wall-to-wall carnage and a breakthrough performance from indie find Thomas Jane.
Jane - built, blonde and a Baltimore native to boot - makes for one memorable action figure, especially in scenes where his stoic but charismatic wrangler faces danger and returns a champ. He's the guy audiences will most want to see pull through without becoming human sushi, though LL Cool J rates a close second. As a religious cook who knows his way around a kitchen, this amiable rapper-cum-actor does for "Deep Blue Sea" what he did for "Halloween: H20" last summer - energize an effective creep show with a comic dimension.
But the ringmaster of this crafty creature feature is still Harlin. He knows when to comfortably cater to genre conventions - death-defying dangles, close shaves, situation-appropriate kiss-off lines - and when to stray from cliches, as evidenced by several tricks and treats thatll take many viewers by surprise. The pinnacle of these - a sudden, terrifying attack not, for once, foreshadowed by a stinging musical score or a tracking camera shot - is delicious, disorienting and altogether unexpected, just like the sum of "Deep Blue Sea."

Take almost any 30 seconds at random, and you'd have a TV ad. The movie is an assault on the eyes, the ears, the brain, common sense and the human desire to be entertained. No matter what they're charging to get in, it's worth more to get out." -Roger Ebert on "Armageddon"

How to choose a development board
To start using MaixPy, you must need a K210 development board, you can get your favorite hardware from Sipeed's official Taobao store:
Sipeed Official Taobao Store
Required hardware
A development board
Since MaixPy has many early product lines, the specific development board and parameter list are as follows, users can choose the corresponding development board according to their own practical ability and needs
The onboard ROM of MaixPy series development board is 16MB SPI FLASH, RAM: 6MB (general purpose) + 2MB (KPU dedicated)
| MaixPy series development board | ||

USB Type-C cable
Type-C was chosen because it supports positive and negative insertion, which is very friendly to development
You can ask if it is included in the official purchase from Taobao. At present, most Android phones are also using Type-C cables
*USB data cable note: * Due to the uneven quality of USB cables on the market, the wires used (mainly the core material) are different, and the better data cable uses tinned copper, copper wire, copper foil wire, and bare wire. Copper, etc., the line resistance is small, the voltage drop at both ends of the data line is small, and copper clad steel, copper clad iron, the line resistance is large, the voltage drop at both ends of the data line is large, causing the actual voltage and current supplied to the development board Small, make the development board in an abnormal working state; therefore, it is recommended to use a reliable data cable (generally the quality of the data cable attached to the mobile phone is relatively reliable)
Screen
The screen is strongly recommended to buy!
From Taobao official purchase, you can ask whether it is included. It is recommended that users buy a board or package with LCD to facilitate the visual display of the results when running the program later.

camera
On sale are: OV2640 (conventional, M12), OV7740, GC0328;
Since the resolution supported by the K210 DVP interface is VGA (640*480 30W), you can actually use a camera with 30W pixels.
As of MaixPy firmware version: MaixPy 0.5.0_160
, the supported camera models are as follows
| Model | Device id | Pixel | Description | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OV2640 | 0x2642 | 200W | Better support | |
| OV7740 | 0x7742 | 30W | Better support | |
| OV3660 | 0x3660 | 300W | Compatible operation | |
| GC0328 | 0x9d | 30W | Better support | |
| GC2145 | 0x2145 | 200W | Compatible operation | |
| MT9D111 | 0x1519 | 200W | Can run, support is incomplete | |
| OV5640 | 0x5640 | 500W | Better support | --- |
As of the firmware version MicroPython v0.5.0-173
, the related camera test conditions are as follows:
| Hardware model | Monocular or binocular camera that passed the test |
|---|---|
| M1/M1W Module Series (Maixduino, Dock, Go) | OV2640, GC0328, OV7740, GC2145, OV5640 |
| M1n Module Series (Nano, Cube) | OV2640, GC0328, OV7740, GC2145, OV5640 |
| MaixBit | OV2640, GC0328, OV7740, GC2145, OV5640 |
| Maix Amigo | OV7740 (rear shot), GC0328 (front shot) |
- The color mode of the current camera
| YUV422 | RGB565 & YUV422 |
|---|---|
| OV2640 | OV5640 |
| OV7740 | GC2145 |
| GC0328 | OV5642 |
You can ask for the model from Taobao official purchase, OV7740 frame rate is relatively high; OV2640 is relatively old, and the picture quality is slightly inferior to GC0328
Note: Many users ask which one supports the highest frame rate when they come up. In fact, the frame rate will be different in addition to the hardware, and in the program you use, the frame rate will also be different due to the different processing procedures of the program, so The specific maximum frame rate cannot be marked here (so as not to mislead users).
Micro SD card (TF card) (optional)
Files can be manipulated without using a Micro SD card. A part of the internal Flash has been reserved as a file system, but the Flash speed is very slow!
In order to facilitate the quick operation of picture files, you can choose to buy a Micro SD
card, MaixPy built-in SPI SD card protocol driver,
When buying, try to choose a new Micro SD card with fast speed protocol, such as SD 2nd generation protocol, Class10 memory card
Because the K210 does not have SDIO hardware peripherals, it uses SPI to communicate with the SD card. Of course, the quality of SD cards on the market is uneven, and the SPI mode may not be compatible. Try to buy a regular card. If you really need it, please customize it yourself. Drive~~
For example: the two cards on the left side of the picture below are not supported by MaixPy drivers, the middle and right ones are supported, but the class10 card in the middle has the fastest speed (up to 128GB tested available)
I have also tested several SanDisk, Kingston, and Samsung cards purchased online, and found that one of the Samsung cards cannot be used
Sipeed official store SD card purchase link, the card’s SPI protocol only It supports the V1 version, so the reading rate is low. It is recommended to buy other SD cards that support the SPI V2 protocol. The SD card can be selected in the Taobao store development board package.
ST-Link (used to update the firmware of STM32 on the development board Maix Go) (optional)
If you buy a Maix Go
, a STM32
chip is integrated on it to simulate the USB to serial port
tool and to simulate JTAG
, if you want to update its firmware later, it is recommended to buy a ST-Link
Spare; if you don't need JTAG
function, you don't need to buy it
JTAG debugger (optional)
- Note:
!!! After burning ken_gen.bin, the JTAG debugging function of K210 will be permanently disabled
K210
This chip supports JTAG
debugging. If you need the debugging function, you need to use the JTAG
debugger. Please consult and purchase at the official Taobao store of Sipeed
.
If it is a Maix Go
development board, you do not need to purchase a separate JTAG
debugger. The Maix Go
development board integrates a STM32
chip, which can simulate JTAG
(STM32
uses CMSIS-DAP
or open-ec
firmware), open-ec
firmware is not currently supported, and will be supported in the future, please refer to the description of the open-ec
github project homepage

When the gunslinger entered Eddie, Eddie had experienced a moment of nausea and he had had a sense of being watched (this Roland hadn’t felt; Eddie had told him later). He’d had, in other words, some vague sense of the gunslinger’s presence. With Detta, Roland had been forced to come forward immediately, like it or not. She hadn’t just sensed him; in a queer way it seemed that she had been waiting for him—him or another, more frequent, visitor. Either way, she had been totally aware of his presence from the first moment he had been in her.
Jack Mort didn’t feel a thing.
He was too intent on the boy.
He had been watching the boy for the last two weeks.
Today he was going to push him.
Even with the back to the eyes from which the gunslinger now looked, Roland recognized the boy. It was the boy he had met at the way station in the desert, the boy he had rescued from the Oracle in the Mountains, the boy whose life he had sacrificed when the choice between saving him or finally catching up with the man in black finally came; the boy who had said Go then—there are other worlds than these before plunging into the abyss. And sure enough, the boy had been right.
The boy was Jake.
He was holding a plain brown paper bag in one hand and a blue canvas bag by its drawstring top in the other. From the angles poking against the sides of the canvas, the gunslinger thought it must contain books.
Traffic flooded the street the boy was waiting to cross—a street in the same city from which he had taken the Prisoner and the Lady, he realized, but for the moment none of that mattered. Nothing mattered but what was going to happen or not happen in the next few seconds.
Jake had not been brought into the gunslinger’s world through any magic door; he had come through a cruder, more understandable portal: he had been born into Roland’s world by dying in his own.
He had been murdered.
More specifically, he had been pushed.
Pushed into the street; run over by a car while on his way to school, his lunch-sack in one hand and his books in the other.
Pushed by the man in black.
He’s going to do it! He’s going to do it right now! That’s to be my punishment for murdering him in my world—to see him murdered in this one before I can stop it!
But the rejection of brutish destiny had been the gunslinger’s work all his life—it had been his ka, if you pleased—and so he came forward without even thinking, acting with reflexes so deep they had nearly become instincts.
And as he did a thought both horrible and ironic flashed into his mind: What if the body he had entered was itself that of the man in black? What if, as he rushed forward to save the boy, he saw his own hands reach out and push? What if this sense of control was only an illusion, and Walter’s final gleeful joke that Roland himself should murder the boy?
For one single moment Jack Mort lost the thin strong arrow of his concentration. On the edge of leaping forward and shoving the kid into the traffic, he felt something which his mind mistranslated just as the body may refer pain from one part of itself to another.
When the gunslinger came forward, Jack thought some sort of bug had landed on the back of his neck. Not a wasp or a bee, nothing that actually stung, but something that bit and itched. Mosquito, maybe. It was on this that he blamed his lapse in concentration at the crucial moment. He slapped at it and returned to the boy.
He thought all this happened in a bare wink; actually, seven seconds passed. He sensed neither the gunslinger’s swift advance nor his equally swift retreat, and none of the people around him (going-to-work people, most from the subway station on the next block, their faces still puffy with sleep, their half-dreaming eyes turned inward) noticed Jack’s eyes turn from their usual deep blue to a lighter blue behind the prim gold-rimmed glasses he wore. No one noticed those eyes darken to their normal cobalt color either, but when it happened and he refocused on the boy, he saw with frustrated fury as sharp as a thorn that his chance was gone. The light had changed.
He watched the boy crossing with the rest of the sheep, and then Jack himself turned back the way he had come and began shoving himself upstream against the tidal flow of pedestrians.
“Hey, mister! Watch ou—”
Some curd-faced teenaged girl he barely saw. Jack shoved her aside, hard, not looking back at her caw of anger as her own armload of schoolbooks went flying. He went walking on down Fifth Avenue and away from Forty-Third, where he had meant for the boy to die today. His head was bent, his lips pressed together so tightly he seemed to have no mouth at all but only the scar of a long-healed wound above his chin. Once clear of the bottleneck at the corner, he did not slow down but strode even more rapidly along, crossing Forty-Second, Forty-First, Fortieth. Somewhere in the middle of the next block he passed the building where the boy lived. He gave it barely a glance, although he had followed the boy from it every school-morning for the last three weeks, followed him from the building to the corner three and a half blocks further up Fifth, the corner he thought of simply as the Pushing Place.
The girl he bumped was screaming after him, but Jack Mort didn’t notice. An amateur lepidopterist would have taken no more notice of a common butterfly.
Jack was, in his way, much like an amateur lepidopterist.
By profession, he was a successful C.P.A.
Pushing was only his hobby.
The gunslinger returned to the back of the man’s mind and fainted there. If there was relief, it was simply that this man was not the man in black, was not Walter.

Divorced of his body, his mind—his ka—was as healthy and acute as ever, but the sudden knowing struck him like a chisel-blow to the temple.
The knowing didn’t come when he went forward but when he was sure the boy was safe and slipped back again. He saw the connection between this man and Odetta, too fantastic and yet too hideously apt to be coincidental, and understood what the real drawing of the three might be, and who they might be.
The third was not this man, this Pusher; the third named by Walter had been Death.
Death . . . but not for you. That was what Walter, clever as Satan even at the end, had said. A lawyer’s answer . . . so close to the truth that the truth was able to hide in its shadow. Death was not for him; death was become him.
The Prisoner, the Lady.
Death was the third.
He was suddenly filled with the certainty that he himself was the third.
Roland came forward as nothing but a projectile, a brainless missile programmed to launch the body he was in at the man in black the instant he saw him.
Thoughts of what might happen if he stopped the man in black from murdering Jake did not come until later—the possible paradox, the fistula in time and dimension which might cancel out everything that had happened after he had arrived at the way station . . . for surely if he saved Jake in this world, there would have been no Jake for him to meet there, and everything which had happened thereafter would change.
What changes? Impossible even to speculate on them. That one might have been the end of his quest never entered the gunslinger’s mind. And surely such after-the-fact speculations were moot; if he had seen the man in black, no consequence, paradox, or ordained course of destiny could have stopped him from simply lowering the head of this body he inhabited and pounding it straight through Walter’s chest. Roland would have been as helpless to do otherwise as a gun is helpless to refuse the finger that squeezes the trigger and flings the bullet on its flight.

He scanned the people clustered on the corner quickly, seeing each face (he scanned the women as closely as the men, making sure there wasn’t one only pretending to be a woman).
Walter wasn’t there.
Gradually he relaxed, as a finger curled around a trigger may relax at the last instant. No; Walter was nowhere around the boy, and the gunslinger somehow felt sure that this wasn’t the right when. Not quite. That when was close—two weeks away, a week, maybe even a single day—but it was not quite yet.
So he went back.
On the way he saw . . .
. . . and fell senseless with shock: this man into whose mind the third door opened, had once sat waiting just inside the window of a deserted tenement room in a building full of abandoned rooms—abandoned, that was, except for the winos and crazies who often spent their nights here. You knew about the winos because you could smell their desperate sweat and angry piss. You knew about the crazies because you could smell the stink of their deranged thoughts. The only furniture in this room was two chairs. Jack Mort was using both: one to sit in, one as a prop to keep the door opening on the hallway closed. He expected no sudden interruptions, but it was best not to take chances. He was close enough to the window to look out, but far enough behind the slanted shadow-line to be safe from any casual viewer.
He had a crumbly red brick in his hand.
He had pried it from just outside the window, where a good many were loose. It was old, eroded at the corners, but heavy. Chunks of ancient mortar clung to it like barnacles.
The man meant to drop the brick on someone.
He didn’t care who; when it came to murder, Jack Mort was an equal-opportunity employer.
After a bit, a family of three came along the sidewalk below: man, woman, little girl. The girl had been walking on the inside, presumably to keep her safely away from the traffic. There was quite a lot of it this close to the railway station but Jack Mort didn’t care about the auto traffic. What he cared about was the lack of buildings directly opposite him; these had already been demolished, leaving a jumbled wasteland of splintered board, broken brick, glinting glass.
He would only lean out for a few seconds, and he was wearing sunglasses over his eyes and an out-of-season knit cap over his blonde hair. It was like the chair under the doorknob. Even when you were safe from expected risks, there was no harm in reducing those unexpected ones which remained.
He was also wearing a sweatshirt much too big for him—one that came almost down to mid-thigh. This bag of a garment would help confuse the actual size and shape of his body (he was quite thin) should he be observed. It served another purpose as well: whenever he “depth-charged” someone (for that was how he always thought of it: as “depth-charging”), he came in his pants. The baggy sweatshirt also covered the wet spot which invariably formed on his jeans.
Now they were closer.

He shivered at the edge of the window, brought the brick forward, drew it back to his stomach, brought it forward again, withdrew it again (but this time only halfway), and then leaned out, totally cool now. He always was at the penultimate moment.
He dropped the brick and watched it fall.
It went down, swapping one end for the other. Jack saw the clinging barnacles of mortar clearly in the sun. At these moments as at no others everything was clear, everything stood out with exact and geometrically perfect substance; here was a thing which he had pushed into reality, as a sculptor swings a hammer against a chisel to change stone and create some new substance from the brute caldera; here was the world’s most remarkable thing: logic which was also ecstasy.
Sometimes he missed or struck aslant, as the sculptor may carve badly or in vain, but this was a perfect shot. The brick struck the girl in the bright gingham dress squarely on the head. He saw blood—it was brighter than the brick but would eventually dry to the same maroon color—splash up. He heard the start of the mother’s scream. Then he was moving.
Jack crossed the room and threw the chair which had been under the knob into a far corner (he’d kicked the other—the one he’d sat in while waiting—aside as he crossed the room). He yanked up the sweatshirt and pulled a bandanna from his back pocket. He used it to turn the knob.
No fingerprints allowed.
Only Don’t Bees left fingerprints.
He stuffed the bandanna into his back pocket again even as the door was swinging open. As he walked down the hall, he assumed a faintly drunken gait. He didn’t look around.
Looking around was also only for Don’t Bees.
Do Bees knew that trying to see if someone was noticing you was a sure way to accomplish just that. Looking around was the sort of thing a witness might remember after an accident. Then some smartass cop might decide it was a suspicious accident, and there would be an investigation. All because of one nervous glance around. Jack didn’t believe anyone could connect him with the crime even if someone decided the “accident” was suspicious and there was an investigation, but . . .
Take only acceptable risks. Minimize those which remain.
In other words, always prop a chair under the doorknob.
So he walked down the powdery corridor where patches of lathing showed through the plastered walls, he walked with his head down, mumbling to himself like the vags you saw on the street. He could still hear the woman—the mother of the little girl, he supposed—screaming, but that sound was coming from the front of the building; it was faint and unimportant. All of the things which happened after—the cries, the confusion, the wails of the wounded (if the wounded were still capable of wailing), were not things which mattered to Jack. What mattered was the thing which pushed change into the ordinary course of things and sculpted new lines in the flow of lives . . . and, perhaps, the destinies not only of those struck, but of a widening circle around them, like ripples from a stone tossed into a still pond.
Who was to say that he had not sculpted the cosmos today, or might not at some future time?
God, no wonder he creamed his jeans!
He met no one as he went down the two flights of stairs but he kept up the act, swaying a little as he went but never reeling. A swayer would not be remembered. An ostentatious reeler might be. He muttered but didn’t actually say anything a person might understand. Not acting at all would be better than hamming it up.
He let himself out the broken rear door into an alley filled with refuse and broken bottles which twinkled galaxies of sun-stars.
He had planned his escape in advance as he planned everything in advance (take only acceptable risks, minimize those which remain, be a Do Bee in all things); such planning was why he had been marked by his colleagues as a man who would go far (and he did intend to go far, but one of the places he did not intend to go was to jail, or the electric chair).
A few people were running along the street into which the alley debouched, but they were on their way to see what the screaming was about, and none of them looked at Jack Mort, who had removed the out-of-season knit cap but not the sunglasses (which, on such a bright morning, did not seem out of place).
He turned into another alley.
Came out on another street.
Now he sauntered down an alley not so filthy as the first two—almost, in fact, a lane. This fed into another street, and a block up there was a bus stop. Less than a minute after he got there a bus arrived, which was also part of the schedule. Jack entered when the doors accordioned open and dropped his fifteen cents into the slot of the coin receptacle. The driver did not so much as glance at him. That was good, but even if he had, he would have seen nothing but a nondescript man in jeans, a man who might be out of work—the sweatshirt he was wearing looked like something out of a Salvation Army grab-bag.
Be ready, be prepared, be a Do Bee.
Jack Mort’s secret for success both at work and at play.
Nine blocks away there was a parking lot. Jack got off the bus, entered the lot, unlocked his car (an unremarkable mid-fifties Chevrolet which was still in fine shape), and drove back to New York City.
He was free and clear.
The gunslinger saw all of this in a mere moment. Before his shocked mind could shut out the other images by simply shutting down, he saw more. Not all, but enough. Enough.
He saw Mort cutting a piece from page four of The New York Daily Mirror with an Exacto knife, being fussily sure to stay exactly upon the lines of the column. NEGRO GIRL COMATOSE FOLLOWING TRAGIC ACCIDENT, the headline read. He saw Mort apply glue to the back of the clipping with the brush attached to the cover of his paste-pot. Saw Mort position it at the center of a blank page of a scrapbook, which, from the bumpy, swelled look of the foregoing pages, contained many other clippings. He saw the opening lines of the piece: “Five-year-old Odetta Holmes, who came to Elizabethtown, N.J., to celebrate a joyous occasion, is now the victim of a cruel freak accident. Following the wedding of an aunt two days ago, the girl and her family were walking toward the railway station when a brick tumbled . . .”
But that wasn’t the only time he’d had dealings with her, was it? No. Gods, no.
In the years between that morning and the night when Odetta had lost her legs, Jack Mort had dropped a great many things and pushed a great many people.
Then there had been Odetta again.
The first time he had pushed something on her.

What sort of man is this that I am supposed to use? What sort of man—
But then he thought of Jake, thought of the push which had sent Jake into this world, and he thought he heard the laughter of the man in black, and that finished him.
Roland fainted.
When he came to, he was looking at neat rows of figures marching down a sheet of green paper. The paper had been ruled both ways, so that each single figure looked like a prisoner in a cell.
He thought: Something else.
Not just Walter’s laughter. Something—a plan?
No, Gods, no—nothing as complex or hopeful as that.
But an idea, at least. A tickle.
How long have I been out? he thought with sudden alarm. It was maybe nine o’ the clock when I came through the door, maybe a little earlier. How long—?
He came forward.
Jack Mort—who was now only a human doll controlled by the gunslinger—looked up a little and saw the hands of the expensive quartz clock on his desk stood at quarter past one.
Gods, as late as that? As late as that? But Eddie . . . he was so tired, he can never have stayed awake for so l—
The gunslinger turned Jack’s head. The door was still there, but what he saw through it was far worse than he would have imagined.
Standing to one side of the door were two shadows, one that of the wheelchair, the other that of a human being . . . but the human being was incomplete, supporting itself on its arms because its lower legs had been snatched away with the same quick brutality as Roland’s fingers and toe.
The shadow moved.
Roland whipped Jack Mort’s head away at once, moving with the whiplash speed of a striking snake.
She mustn’t look in. Not until I am ready. Until then, she sees nothing but the back of this man’s head.
Detta Walker would not see Jack Mort in any case, because the person who looked through the open door saw only what the host saw. She could only see Mort’s face if he looked into a mirror (although that might lead to its own awful consequences of paradox and repetition), but even then it would mean nothing to either Lady; for that matter, the Lady’s face would not mean anything to Jack Mort. Although they had twice been on terms of deadly intimacy, they had never seen each other.
What the gunslinger didn’t want was for the Lady to see the Lady.
Not yet, at least.
The spark of intuition grew closer to a plan.
But it was late over there—the light had suggested to him that it must be three in the afternoon, perhaps even four.
How long until sunset brought the lobstrosities, and the end of Eddie’s life?
Three hours?
Two?
He could go back and try to save Eddie . . . but that was exactly what Detta wanted. She had laid a trap, just as villagers who fear a deadly wolf may stake out a sacrificial lamb to draw it into bowshot. He would go back into his diseased body . . . but not for long. The reason he had seen only her shadow was because she was lying beside the door with one of his revolvers curled in her fist. The moment his Roland-body moved, she would shoot it and end his life.
His ending, because she feared him, would at least be merciful.
Eddie’s would be a screaming horror.
He seemed to hear Detta Walker’s nasty, giggling voice: You want to go at me, graymeat? Sho you want to go at me! You ain’t afraid of no lil ole cripple black woman, are you?
“Only one way,” Jack’s mouth muttered. “Only one.”
The door of the office opened, and a bald man with lenses over his eyes looked in.
“How are you doing on that Dorfman account?” the bald man asked.
“I feel ill. I think it was my lunch. I think I might leave.”
The bald man looked worried. “It’s probably a bug. I heard there’s a nasty one going around.”
“Probably.”
“Well . . . as long as you get the Dorfman stuff finished by five tomorrow afternoon . . .”

The bald man, now looking a little uneasy, nodded. “Yes, go home. You don’t seem like your usual self at all.”
“I’m not.”
The bald man went out the door in a hurry.
He sensed me, the gunslinger thought. That was part of it. Part, but not all. They’re afraid of him. They don’t know why, but they’re afraid of him. And they’re right to be afraid.
Jack Mort’s body got up, found the briefcase the man had been carrying when the gunslinger entered him, and swept all the papers on the surface of the desk into it.
He felt an urge to sneak a look back at the door and resisted it. He would not look again until he was ready to risk everything and come back.
In the meantime, time was short and there were things which had to be done.


THE BOYS
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Stratosphere Entertainment Director: Rowan Woods Writer: Gordon Graham (play), Stephen Sewell Cast: David Wenham, Toni Collette, Lynette Curran, John Polson, Anthony Hayes, Jeanette Cronin, Anna Lise, Pete Smith
One of the best ways a director has of creating tension is subtly to give the audience the uncomfortable feeling that something is about to happen. In horror movies, the convention calls for creating a series of false moves, of positioning a look at a threatening arm or the sound of a creaking door only to resolve the tension with a harmless gesture. "The Boys," billed by one writer as "a thinking man's horror film," does not display the bait and switch technique of conventional tales of the genre. Instead, Stephen Sewell's script, based on a successful play written by Gordon Graham, is a psychological study of a dysfunctional family with only a modicum of physical violence but one which seeks to give the audience a feeling of tautness. We spend a good deal of time in our seats wondering when the lead male will explode and what effect he will have on his brothers, his mother, and the women in this household in a working-class district of West Sydney, Australia.
The characters speak with heavy Australian accents, giving the marketers a primary target in their own country but making us wonder whether it can travel the long distance to rivet an audience in the U.S. or most other English-speaking countries. The most prominent flaw is that despite some fancy camerawork (especially considering its limited budget and five-week screening time), its origin as a staged play is obvious. The stage is the best place for a largely enclosed story, one which centers on a single household with outside scenes filmed in more or less a contrived way to open the narrative cinematically. Though we see vistas of a prison, a convenience store, and some of Sydney's less fashionable streets, "The Boys" is not suited for the big screen. Director Rowan Woods has, however, assembled a fine group of performers, with Toni Collette (from "Muriel's Wedding") the one most likely to be recognized by an American audience.
Essentially the picture is about Brett Sprague (David Wenham), one of three layabout brothers, who has just emerged from a one-year sentence in prison for assault with a deadly weapon. His sibs had not visited him during that time and now he is fuming with rage and their disregard for him. That's not all.  Strangely indifferent toward restoring his relationship with his lusty girl friend Michelle (Toni Collette), he moves to re-establish himself as the alpha male of the family. How he manipulates those around him, eventually driving away the women--including Michelle, who in one unfortunate incident is undiplomatic enough to challenge her man's virility--is the principal aim of the film.
Looking at the family from the point of view of the mother, Sandra (Lynette Curran), could give anyone pause before deciding to have children at all. Contemptuous of her husband who had given her virtually nothing during their brief marriage, she is perpetually on edge trying to provide for a bunch of beer-drinking slackers and the women friends who are either living in the house or hanging about it. As the boys drive about the locale, they contemplate crimes while Rowan Woods's hand-held and tripod cameras move forward and backward in time to give the audience a non-narrative perspective on these essentially bad boys.
Those moviegoers who raved about "The Blair Witch Project" might just buy into "The Boys." After all, the emphasis is on the tension, not the actual displays of violence. We wonder what is going to happen next. We might feel great sympathy for a harried mother who must feel from time to time like Medea. Perhaps Woods should be applauded for using techniques so box-office effective with the "Blair" team, but "The Boys" still comes across as a static work unsuited for a medium larger than the stage and one requiring subtitles for all but an Australian audience.

{% blocktrans trimmed %} If you want to learn how to create a proper Debian package you can find some interesting documentation to start with: {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans trimmed %} Every package must comply with the Debian policy before it can enter the Debian distribution. This is a document which describes the structure and contents of the Debian archive and several design issues of the operating system, as well as technical requirements that each package must satisfy to be included in the distribution. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans trimmed %} The policy is not a tutorial. Its a technical manual which specifies normative requirements of packages. Read it to learn package specifications. If you don't know how to package something for Debian, please read additionally the New Maintainer's Guide. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans with site_name=settings.SITE_NAME trimmed %} When you upload your package to {{ site_name }} it will automatically be checked for common mistakes. You will get an information email after the upload. Either your package contains bugs and will be rejected, or the package is clean except for some minor technical issues. You will get hints about how to fix the package. If the email tells you that your package is fine then a sponsor will still do further checks. Don't worry too much. If your package is accepted by mentors.debian.net then let the sponsor help you with the rest. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans trimmed %} Lintian is a Debian package checker (and available as Debian package so you can run it yourself). It can be used to check binary and source packages for compliance with the Debian policy and for other common packaging errors. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans trimmed %} Packaging for Debian is rather complex because one has to consider hundreds of guidelines to make the package "policy compliant". Lintian tries to address this issue by providing an automated static analysis framework. You can learn more about Lintian in the Lintian User's Manual. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans with email=settings.SUPPORT_EMAIL trimmed %} First make sure that you signed the package with the proper PGP key. Next check where you uploaded your package. By default the dput and dupload tools upload to Debian's official FTP master server. That server will silently drop your upload. If the problem persist please send an email to Site email: {{ email }} if you require assistance. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans with site_name=settings.SITE_NAME trimmed %} The current policy on {{ site_name }} is to deliberately throw away the binary packages. This is done for two main reasons. First, it saves a lot of disk space. And second, in the past Debian users downloaded the packages and used them carelessly to get brand-new versions. This led to a lot of support questions. So we decided to just keep the source packages. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans with beat=beat trimmed %} Regardless of the upload method you choose, the importer process runs every {{ beat }} minutes. The process usually takes less than a minute to process a package but it can be longer on bigger packages. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans trimmed %} During the importing process, the server does quality assurance and other checks on your package. You will receive an email when it is ready. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans trimmed %} Someone who uploads the package and is responsible for the package in the archive. The sponsor is responsible for the quality of the package and checks the work of the package maintainer to improve his skills. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans trimmed %} Thanks for your interest. There are a lot of sponsorees waiting for a Developer to help them with their packages, and if you want to help with the New Maintainer process this is a good step to get involved. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans trimmed %} Look for packages that you would like to sponsor on this website. Once you have found some you should download, build and test them. Please notify your sponsoree of every problem that you find in order to give him a chance to fix them. We believe that it is of uttermost importance to stay in contact with your sponsorees to keep them interested in working on Debian. Moreover, they will also learn how to maintain packages within a team and will learn skills that are crucial for Debian Developers more easily. {% endblocktrans %}
