ARGUING THE WORLD A film review by Mark R. Leeper
Capsule: The American socialist movement is traced following the trajectories of four Jewish intellectuals who were friends at CCNY in 1937. Each went in a different direction after leaving school, but each continued the tradition of argument. This is not so much a contrasting of opinions as four different biographies showing how different events let them to different political conclusions. The biographies are mixed with archive films covering half a century. The film is good at what it does, but it really should have given us a better idea of what constituted each man's philosophy and why he believed what he did. ARGUING THE WORLD barely gets beyond the superficial. The film is strong on its explanation of history but weak on philosophy. Rating: 6 (0 to 10), 1 (-4 to +4)
New York Critics: 5 positive, 0 negative, 2 mixed
ARGUING THE WORLD is a chronicle of political thought in the United States from the late 1930s though the 1980s. More precisely it is a study of four 20th Century political philosophers--Daniel Bell, Nathan Glazer, Irving Howe, and Irving Kristol--who began their careers in political philosophy as friends at CCNY, the City College of New York, in 1937. They all came from similar backgrounds. They lived in New York City where the sidewalks were often decorated with political street speakers, and even before college each was immersed in political thought. One tells how his sister would take him to see Clifford Odets plays, another how in front of his home were two buildings, the synagogue and the Young People's Socialist League. Born into poverty, all four turned to Marxism as the hope for the poor of the world. This was a time when the revolution in Russia was fresh and new. Many Americans, from a distance of thousands of miles, thought that Communism was in the process of saving the Soviet Union. Take four young radical thinkers, already drunk with politics, and send them to CCNY and what develops is just what one would expect. CCNY was then one of the radical campuses of the day. It was boiling over with excited political debate. As writer/director Joseph Dorman seems to imply, the teachers were mediocre, but the best education was to be had in the cafeteria where there were constant agitated debates. The room had a series of alcoves and different groups chose specific alcoves as their turf. Alcove One was where the pro-Trotsky students congregated. Alcove Two was where the pro-Stalin students gathered. (One wonders what became of them.) Another alcove would be the ROTC candidates. These four Jewish intellectuals were Alcove One regulars.
ARGUING THE WORLD traces the four through the war years with two going into the military. With the conquest of Nazism it seemed that the world was ready for the Socialist ideal. However, their view of Stalin and of Communism changed with the Moscow trials and the purges and executions of military leaders. They started founding and/or writing for magazines like "The Partisan Review" and "Commentary." Irving Kristol started having a significantly different view from the others during the McCarthy anti-Communist Movement. While he did not think much of Joseph McCarthy as a person, he defended McCarthyism.
What has been a minor irritation with the film to this point becomes more obvious and at the same time more serious. One would not write a biography of Charles Darwin without a detailed explanation of evolution. Dorman does not seem prepared to actually present the beliefs of his four subjects in any great detail. While the four substantially agreed, it would have been useful to be told the substance of their beliefs, but it was not important to understanding their history. But at this point, when they start to diverge in opinion it becomes frustrating just to be told that Kristol agreed with McCarthy's goals and Howe did not. These are deep and complex men with complex ways of thinking, and to reduce their thought to so superficial a level is a disappointment for the viewer. Dorman wants to tell us about the four men but not bother to tell us really who they are. We want to know Kristol's reasoning that led to his agreement with McCarthy. We want to know the reasoning the others had for their different viewpoints.
There is a further dividing of the ways in the 60s protest movements and particularly in the relationship with the Students for a Democratic Society. The SDS was the self-styled successor of the previous generation's intellectual movement. But the four saw the SDS as naive and utopian. Instead of endorsing the SDS, each found himself disagreeing with the SDS and Tom Hayden, the leader of the SDS, attributed this to stodginess and de facto conservatism.
There was further divergence of opinion based on experience of the late 60s student protest movements. Nathan Glazer by this point was a professor at Berkeley where the students were able very much to disrupt the academic environment with impunity. Glazer was called upon to negotiate and in the process lost most of his respect for the protesters. His views became more conservative as a result, though not so far to the right as Kristol's. Daniel Bell was at Columbia where the protests were put down with more force by the police and came out of the experience more left-wing than before.
Dorman recreates the period with archival footage showing New York and California at the time of the events, but what is on the screen frequently is just a scene without much obvious relevance to what is being said. There are also interviews with various political figures who interacted with the four political thinkers. The film is entertaining and enlightening, but it leaves one wanting to be in on a discussion among the men to find out what the real differences in their opinions and reasoning styles were. Without that there is something dramatically missing from the film. I rate ARGUING THE WORLD a 6 on the 0 to 10 scale and a +1 on the -4 to +4 scale.

Core condoor components¶
Init file for condoor.
Connection class¶
-
class
Connection
(name, urls=[], log_dir=None, log_level=10, log_session=True)[source]¶ Connection class providing the condoor API.
Main API class providing the basic API to the physical devices. It implements the following methods:
- connect
- reconnect
- disconnect
- send
- reload
- enable
- run_fsm
-
__init__
(name, urls=[], log_dir=None, log_level=10, log_session=True)[source]¶ Initialize the
condoor.Connection
object.- Args:
name (str): The connection name.
- urls (str or list): This argument may be a string or list of strings or list of list of strings.
When urls type is string it must be valid URL in the following format:
urls = "<protocol>://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<enable_password>
Example:
urls =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The <port> can be omitted and default port for protocol will be used. When urls type is list of strings it can provide multiple intermediate hosts (jumphosts) with their credentials before making the final connection the target device. Example:
urls = ["ssh://admin:secretpass@jumphost", <EMAIL_ADDRESS>urls = ["ssh://admin:pass@jumphost1", "ssh://admin:pass@jumphost2", <EMAIL_ADDRESS>The urls can be list of list of strings. In this case the multiple connection chains can be provided to the target device. This is used when device has two processor cards with console connected to both of them. Example:
urls = [["ssh://admin:pass@jumphost1", "telnet://cisco:cisco@termserv:2001"], ["ssh://admin:pass@jumphost1", "telnet://cisco:cisco@termserv:2002"]]
- log_dir (str): The path to the directory when session.log and condoor.log is stored. If None

- Args:
- logfile (file): Optional file descriptor for session logging. The file must be open for write.
- The session is logged only if
log_session=True
was passed to the constructor. If None then the default session.log file is created in log_dir.
force_discovery (Bool): Optional. If True the device discover process will start after getting connected.
- Raises:
- ConnectionError: If the discovery method was not called first or there was a problem with getting
- the connection.
ConnectionAuthenticationError: If the authentication failed.
ConnectionTimeoutError: If the connection timeout happened.
-
reconnect
(logfile=None, max_timeout=360, force_discovery=False)[source]¶ Reconnect to the device.
It can be called when after device reloads or the session was disconnected either by device or jumphost. If multiple jumphosts are used then reconnect starts from the last valid connection.
- Args:
- logfile (file): Optional file descriptor for session logging. The file must be open for write.
- The session is logged only if
log_session=True
was passed to the constructor. It the parameter is not passed then the default session.log file is created in log_dir. - max_timeout (int): This is the maximum amount of time during the session tries to reconnect. It may take
- longer depending on the TELNET or SSH default timeout.
force_discovery (Bool): Optional. If True the device discover process will start after getting connected.
- Raises:
- ConnectionError: If the discovery method was not called first or there was a problem with getting
- the connection.
ConnectionAuthenticationError: If the authentication failed.
ConnectionTimeoutError: If the connection timeout happened.
-
reload
(reload_timeout=300, save_config=True, no_reload_cmd=False)[source]¶ Reload the device and wait for device to boot up.
-
send
(cmd='', timeout=60, wait_for_string=None)[source]¶ Send the command to the device and return the output.
- Args:
- cmd (str): Command string for execution. Defaults to empty string. timeout (int): Timeout in seconds. Defaults to 60s wait_for_string (str): This is optional string that driver waits for after command execution. If none the detected prompt will be used.

- ConnectionError: General connection error during command execution CommandSyntaxError: Command syntax error or unknown command. CommandTimeoutError: Timeout during command execution
-
enable
(enable_password=None)[source]¶ Change the device mode to privileged.
If device does not support privileged mode the the informational message to the log will be posted.
- Args:
- enable_password (str): The privileged mode password. This is optional parameter. If password is not
- provided but required the password from url will be used. Refer to
condoor.Connection
-
run_fsm
(name, command, events, transitions, timeout, max_transitions=20)[source]¶ Instantiate and run the Finite State Machine for the current device connection.
Here is the example of usage:
test_dir = "rw_test" dir = "disk0:" + test_dir REMOVE_DIR = re.compile(re.escape("Remove directory filename [{}]?".format(test_dir))) DELETE_CONFIRM = re.compile(re.escape("Delete {}/{}[confirm]".format(filesystem, test_dir))) REMOVE_ERROR = re.compile(re.escape("%Error Removing dir {} (Directory doesnot exist)".format(test_dir))) command = "rmdir {}".format(dir) events = [device.prompt, REMOVE_DIR, DELETE_CONFIRM, REMOVE_ERROR, pexpect.TIMEOUT] transitions = [ (REMOVE_DIR, [0], 1, send_newline, 5), (DELETE_CONFIRM, [1], 2, send_newline, 5), # if dir does not exist initially it's ok (REMOVE_ERROR, [0], 2, None, 0), (device.prompt, [2], -1, None, 0), (pexpect.TIMEOUT, [0, 1, 2], -1, error, 0) ] if not conn.run_fsm("DELETE_DIR", command, events, transitions, timeout=5): return False
This FSM tries to remove directory from disk0:
- Args:
- name (str): Name of the state machine used for logging purposes. Can’t be None command (str): The command sent to the device before FSM starts events (list): List of expected strings or pexpect.TIMEOUT exception expected from the device. transitions (list): List of tuples in defining the state machine transitions. timeout (int): Default timeout between states in seconds. max_transitions (int): Default maximum number of transitions allowed for FSM.
The transition tuple format is as follows:
(event, [list_of_states], next_state, action, timeout)
Where:
- event (str): string from the events list which is expected to be received from device.
- list_of_states (list): List of FSM states that triggers the action in case of event occurrence.
- next_state (int): Next state for FSM transition.
- action (func): function to be executed if the current FSM state belongs to list_of_states and the event occurred. The action can be also None then FSM transits to the next state without any action. Action can be also the exception, which is raised and FSM stops.
The example action:
def send_newline(ctx): ctx.ctrl.sendline() return True def error(ctx): ctx.message = "Filesystem error" return False def readonly(ctx): ctx.message = "Filesystem is readonly" return False
The ctx object description refer to
condoor.fsm.FSM
.If the action returns True then the FSM continues processing. If the action returns False then FSM stops and the error message passed back to the ctx object is posted to the log.
The FSM state is the integer number. The FSM starts with initial
state=0
and finishes if thenext_state
is set to -1.If action returns False then FSM returns False. FSM returns True if reaches the -1 state.
-

Whether you are a beginner or more experienced with photography, below are some tips that will help you improve your images!
Be sure to check out this website with amazing photos for inspiration.
When taking photos, it is important to consider angle. Finding the right angle can be what makes or breaks your photo. Before going to a shoot, do a little research. This gives you an idea of what angles may be avaliable. Don't forget to move around! Try different locals, there may be better viewpoints. Be sure to look for unusual angles too. This may seen silly or a lot of effort for a photo but can be worth it. This can be something as simple as lying down or it could be climbing up something. Different heights gives you different perspectives.
When editing your photos, be sure to consider how obvious you want to it look. Most people want to ensure that their photo looks natural, and looking as though there's no editing involved. Every now and then, people like it to be obvious it's been edited. This allows for different effects. Just like the image above! If your editing to make it look natural, be sure to consider contrast. By increasing the contrast, it can make objects if your photos really pop.
Lighting is a key factor in photography.Any light originating from behind the camera, gives you very flat lighting. Lighting coming from the side, as it shows the shape of the subject and can create partial shadows, giving the photo a more interesting look. Light can be manopulated so that it falls on a particular area. This can be done through the use of reflectors. Relectors shape sunlight or bounce light onto the area you'd prefer to highlight.
Location can be very important when it comes to any photo. Different locations offer different lighting and shadows, allowing for different effects. If your shooting outdoors, try to avoid the midday sun. This is when it's brightest and can make your photos looked washed out. Outdoors is the best place for natural light, be sure to research your location before the shoot. You want a location which can offer you multiple views and lighting. An area which offers different varians is best as it allows you to shoot with different lighting.


Eddie Redmayne wants Hagrid to star in Fantastic Beasts 3
Veteran actor Robbie Coltrane played Hagrid, the half-giant and a dear friend to the troublesome trio -- Harry, Hermione and Ron -- in the Harry Potter films.
by PTIActor Eddie Redmayne says he would love to see beloved Harry Potter character Hagrid to appear in the third chapter of franchise’s spin-off films, Fantastic Beasts.
Redmayne, who plays Newt Scamander in the new series, made the revelation in a Reddit AMA.
When asked which character he would like to see feature in Fantastic Beasts 3, the Oscar winner replied, “Hagrid Hagrid always Hagrid”.
Veteran actor Robbie Coltrane played Hagrid, the half-giant and a dear friend to the troublesome trio — Harry, Hermione and Ron — in the Harry Potter films.
Earlier this month, Warner Bros confirmed that production on the new film is set to begin next March 2020, to be released in 2021.
After New York and Paris, where the earlier two Fantastic Beasts movies were based, Brazilian city Rio De Janeiro will serve as the backdrop of the new film.
Besides Redmayne, the film’s returning cast members include Jude Law, Johnny Depp, Ezra Miller, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler and Katherine Waterston.


ADS can be used to hide data (dir command without the /r switch will not display them; explorer.exe will also not show them; We will later see how we can even hide from the /r dir switch…)
ADS has another great property – we can add an ADS to a folder. To be allowed to do this we must own the “create folders” permissions on the directory (and the folder name must not be a number). The important fact is that an ADS on a folder looks like a file from the parent folder!
For example, consider that an application allows to upload data and that uploaded data is stored in applicationFolder\uploadedData\. Moreover, the application allows to start scripts / applications from applicationFolder\ but not from applicationFolder\uploadedData\ (with a blacklist approach). If the user uploads a file named “:foo.ps1″, the system will create an ADS like applicationFolder\uploadedData:foo.ps1 and this file appears to be stored inside applicationFolder\ and therefore bypassing the security checks.
Another interesting fact is that ADS names can contain symbols which are normally forbidden for filenames like ” or * (you have to create these files using the native Windows API; cmd.exe filteres these characters):
This on it’s own can lead to several problems (e.g.: if the filename ends with ” and the path is enclosed by ”)


Sprint_2_Technical
Technical blog
In this blog entry, I am going to teach you the difference between a margin, border and the padding of an element.
What an element is: Headings, paragraphs, text, images etc
You do not have to be a super-talented computer hacker to understand computer terms so this page breaks down three simple terms for you.
Margin
A margin is the space outside of something. In my own words, it is the space outside of a border.
Padding
Padding is the space inside something.
Padding adds space between the text and border on the inside of the border.
Border
Borders are the outlines of an element. They are boxes which can emphasise the text inside of it. They can indicate if a piece of text is a heading or you can use borders to separate certain elements to the rest of your elements on your page.
They can be solid lines, dashed, dotted, double, grooved, ridged, inset, outset and hidden.
Border-style
To make a border around an element, all you need is border-style. Like I said before, these values can be solid, dotted, dashed, double, groove, ridge, inset, outset and hidden.
Border-width
Border-colour
Border colour sets the colour of your element/border.

CITY OF ANGELS 1998 A film review by Timothy Voon Copyright 1998 Timothy Voon 2 :-) :-) for everlasting love
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Meg Ryan, Denis Franz, Andre Braugher, Colm Feore Director: Brad Silberling Producers: Dawn Steel, Charles Roven Screenplay: Dana Stevens based on WINGS OF DESIRE
In the midst of a city filled with the bustle of impatient drivers and the hustle of frantic pedestrians, there exist angels that watch over mankind with the utmost patience and care. They are there to greet you at birth and to comfort you in death. They are well read and well versed in every language. After all, they have existed for an eternity and seemingly have an eternity more to do their heavenly chores.
In one of the most picturesque movies this year, starring Nicholas Cage as the angel Seth and Meg Ryan as the human Maggie who steals his heart; comes a bitter-sweet, melancholy story of love – the tragic kind. A love that is genuinely passionate, but is too easily snatched away by the cruel hand of fate. Seemingly, we can't help whom we fall in love and have little control over destiny.
Brad Silberling has filled his picture with memorable scenes of angels dressed in black suits standing on skyscrapers and beaches, waiting for the resounding echoes of sunrise and sunset to fill the screen. Angels can hear the music of light on the horizon, but sadly they have never experienced the power of human touch. So when Maggie looks into Seth's eyes, he longs to hold and feel her in his arms. Is Seth willing to give up his immortality for Maggie, and is she going to fall in love with a stranger who always appears out of nowhere wearing the same clothes?
Meg Ryan fills her scenes with a sweet grace that comes from innate beauty. She manages to keep her role as Maggie from becoming merely depressed, with a good balance of drama and humour. She cannot hide the smile that has won her a legion of fans, and her tears will move you. It is also good to see Nicholas Cage taking a break from the butt-kicking-action-money-making movies and delving into romantic drama for a change. He's quite sensitive as the love struck Seth. In fact both of these roles are atypical for Ryan and Cage, but they seem to work well together.

This document gives an exhaustive overview of what needs to be done when building and releasing a new version of PyObjC. It is meant for the project administrators, and not of much use for users of PyObjC.
The timeframe is a guideline only and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Full feature freeze, documentation updates and critical bug-fixes only. At this time:
Build the release tarball and dmg:
Modules/objc/pyobjc.h
.python setup.py sdist
to build the source tarball.python setup.py bdist_dmg
to build a binary installer. This should
be done for each supported version combination of Mac OS X and Python.Trash you existing PyObjC installation and reinstall from the new release. Test that the new release is working correctly. Installing and testing should be done for the binary installer and for the source archive. The latter should be done for all supported configurations. Also test to make sure that an upgrade from a previous release works as expected.
If the package works as expected, upload to a convenient location and ask some other people (like the other maintainers) to test the new release.
PyObjC is a bridge between Python and Objective-C and allows development of full-fledged Cocoa programs in pure Python.

Arjun Kapoor begins shooting for his next with Rakul Preet Singh
by FilmfareArjun Kapoor will be seen opposite Rakul Preet Singh in his yet untitled film. Interestingly, the project brings together John Abraham, Nikkhil Advani, and Bhushan Kumar as producers for the third time post Batla House and Satyameva Jayate. Announcing the project. Arjun took to his social media handle and wrote, “Enroute to start film number 14.”
Earlier today, Arjun shared a collage on his social media in which he was seen cutely posing with Rakul. He wrote, “Picture Shuroo... other information bhi upload hogi soon...” Check it out…
Excited about the project, Arjun had said in an official statement recently, “I have grown up in a joint family so I understood that it's the biggest pillar of love, strength, and support. That's the essence of our film, which has its heart in the right place.” From what we hear, the film is expected to be a cross border love tale.


Extract the library to a safe place outside your web-directory (your provider should allow this).
Create a .htaccess file to place it in the root directory of your webserver which contains the following line:
php_value include_path ".:/path_to/caroshi"
This allows all php scripts in your webserver to include library files without need to know the particular path where you extracted them.
On a UNIX box the installation process could look like this:
cd /web/www.mydomain.com/ tar xvzf ~/caroshi.tar.gz # Will create directory caroshi/ echo php_value include_path \".:`pwd`/caroshi\" >>htdocs/.htaccess

There
are two core interfaces in JNDI: Context
, and
DirContext
, with DirContext
extending
the base naming operations in Context
with directory
service operations. They have been separated into separate
interfaces both for modularity and also in keeping with the
"pay for what you use" goal of JNDI.
Naming
is a basic component found in many computing services such as file
systems, spreadsheets, calendar services, and directory services.
By having a base Context
interface for the naming
operations, we enable its use by all these other services, not just
for directory services.
DirContext
extends
Context
to provide basic directory service operations,
which include manipulation of attributes associated with named
objects, attribute-based searches, and schema-related operations of
those attributes and named objects.
JNDI
is separated into four client packages ( javax.naming
, javax.naming.directory
,
javax.naming.event
, javax.naming.ldap
)
and a service provider package ( javax.naming.spi
).
The idea is that each package contains the interfaces and classes
required for a particular category of applications, again in
keeping with the "pay for what you use" goal. For
example, an application that just wants to perform name-lookups
only needs to use the javax.naming
package. An
application that wants to examine/modify attributes associated with
an object uses the javax.naming
and
javax.naming.directory
packages. An application that
needs to use LDAP-specific controls or extended operations uses the
javax.naming.ldap
package. There is a step-by-step
progression of what classes and interfaces each category of
application writer needs to learn and use.
JNDI
separates interfaces and classes that a client application needs to
use from those that are only of interest to service providers into
different packages. For example, a client would use interfaces and
classes from javax.naming
, while a service provider
that is hooking up a naming service would use both
javax.naming
and javax.naming.spi
. The
package delineation minimizes confusion for the application
developer and makes clear which packages he needs to examine when
writing his program.
There are two common types of applications that list contexts: browser-style applications, and applications that need to perform operations on the objects in a context en-masse. Browser-style applications typically want to display the names of the contents of a context. In addition to the names, many browsers often require type information of the objects bound to the names, so that it can display appropriate pictorial representations of the objects. The browser is usually interactive. Once a user has used a browser to display the contents of a context, he would then select one or a few of the entries displayed and request more information on it.
Some applications need to perform operations on objects within a context en-masse. For example, a backup program might want to perform "file stats" operations on all the objects in a file directory. A printer administration program might want to restart all the printers in a building. To perform such operations, these programs need to obtain all the objects bound in a context.
With
these two common styles of usage in mind, the Context
interface has two types of list methods: list()
and
listBindings()
. list()
returns a list of
name/class-name pairs while listBindings()
returns a
list of name/class-name/object tuples. list()
is
designed for browser-style applications that want mostly just the
names and types of objects bound in a context.
listBindings()
is for applications that want to
potentially get all the objects in the context, as well as their
names and types. listBindings()
returns an enumeration
of Binding
. Both the listBindings()
operation itself and invocation of methods in the
Binding
class (e.g. getObject()
) could
be implemented lazily or eagerly. Using listBindings()
simply indicates the potential that the caller might want all or
many of the objects in the context so that implementations that are
able can optimize for it. Using list()
indicates that
the caller is unlikely to want all, if any, objects in the context
so implementations can optimize for that if possible.
An
alternative is to have a single list operation and have the lazy or
eager behavior as part of the implementation of
Binding
. The advantage of this is that there is a
single list operation to learn. The disadvantage is that the caller
has no way of indicating which piece of information he wants back
from list, and subsequently, implementations cannot optimize for
the eventual behavior of the program.
Federation is a first-class concept in JNDI. In
the client interfaces, it is supported by the use of the
Name
interface for specifying names that can span one
or more namespaces. The caller of the methods in the client
interface need not know anything else regarding federation.
Resolution of names across multiple systems is handled by the SPI
and does not involve any intervention on the part of the
caller.
Although federation is a first-class concept,
that does not mean that all callers and service providers must make
use of it. If an application or service does not want to take
advantage of federation, there is no requirement that
Name
always span multiple namespaces.
Name
can just name objects within a single namespace,
and the SPI can handle name resolution within a single namespace as
well (as a degenerate case of multiple namespace support).
Instead of having DirContext
extend
Context
, an alternative would be to not extend
Context
at all but to have a separate interface called
DirObject
that encapsulates all the directory-related
methods. In that case, an object can implement both
Context
and DirObject
if it supports both
the naming and directory operations; another object might implement
just DirObject
.
The
problem with eliminating DirContext
is that
DirContext
contains some hybrid operations that
involve both naming and directories ( bind()
,
createSubcontext()
methods that accept attributes as
arguments). To keep these operations and have
DirObject
at the same time would produce the need for
a third interface (perhaps called DirContext
) to
contain just these hybrids.
Furthermore, having DirContext
instead of DirObject
is somewhat more convenient in
that you can perform some operations in one step instead of two.
For example DirContext.getAttributes()
could be used
to get the attributes associated with a named object, whereas with
DirObject
, you would need first to resolve to the
object ( Context.lookup()
) and then use
DirObject.getAttributes()
to get the attributes from
it.
The
DirContext
interface contains support for schemas. For
example, from a DirContext
object you can obtain its
schema object, which points to the directory space where the schema
for this particular DirContext
instance is defined.
From a DirContext
object, you can also obtain its
schema class definition (i.e. information about what type of object
this represents in the directory). There is further support for
schemas in the Attribute
class, which contains methods
for obtaining an attribute's syntax information (i.e. what is the
type of the attribute's value) and the attribute's definition (e.g.
is it multivalued, syntax, constraints on its syntax). There is no
requirement that any of this schema information be dynamically
accessible (i.e. points to live directory spaces). Support for such
schema information could be generated statically by the service
provider. For example, a particular directory service might only
support string attribute values, so it can hard-wire the syntax of
the attributes that it returns. Another directory might support
only static schemas (where information in the schema are not
modifiable). Yet another directory might support fully dynamic
schemas. The interfaces and classes in DirContext
are
flexible enough that these different levels of support for schemas
can be accommodated.
For
each method in the Context
and DirContext
interfaces that accepts a Name
argument, there is a
corresponding overloaded form that accepts a String
argument for specifying a name.
The
motivation for having the String
-based methods is
that there are many applications that simply accept a string name
from the end-user and perform context methods on the object named
by that string name. For those applications, it is useful to have
the context methods accept a string for the name directly, instead
of requiring the applications to first construct a
Name
object using the string name.
The
motivation for having the Name
-based methods is that
there are also many applications that manipulate names and do not
want to worry about syntactic details of the names' string forms
when composing and modifying names. These applications deal with
the parsed form of names and hence would prefer to deal with
Name
objects rather than string names. For these
applications, we provide the Name
-based methods in
the context interfaces. Not providing these methods would probably
cause proliferation of Name
-like interfaces/classes
to support manipulation of names in their structural form in
applications developed on top of JNDI.
There are different ways in which applications and services can use the directory to locate objects. JNDI is general enough that it accommodates several different models. For some applications, the object bound in the directory is the object itself. An application may build up a dynamic directory while the application is active, and delete the directory when the application exits. Another application might store URLs as attributes for locating objects in its namespace. Other systems might bind some reference information in the directory, which can subsequently be used to locate or access the actual object. This last case is quite common, especially for making Java applications take advantage of services in the installed base. The reference in the directory acts as a "pointer" to the real object.
JNDI
defines a Reference
class to provide a uniform way of
representing reference information. A Reference
contains information on how to access an object. It consists of a
list of addresses and class information about the object to which
this reference refers. When binding a name to an object that is to
be represented in the directory as a reference, the desired effect
is that the object's reference be extracted and bound. To allow for
this behavior, the object's class must implement the
Referenceable
interface, which contains the method
getReference()
.
There
is some similarity between the interfaces Serializable
and Referenceable
and a natural question is "why
not just use Serializable
instead?" The answer is
that a serialized object is really a frozen version of the object,
whereas the reference contains just the information needed to
construct it. The serialized version may have a lot more state
which may not be appropriate for storage in the directory.
For an
object that is bound as a Reference
in the directory,
JNDI SPI framework automatically creates and instantiates the
object identified by the reference. In this way, the program can
simply narrow the result of lookup()
to the expected
class, instead of calling a separate operation to transform the
result of lookup()
into an object of the expected
class.
For example, if you are looking up a printer object, a successful lookup would return to you a printer object that you can directly use.
Printer prt = (Printer) ctx.lookup(somePrinterName); prt.print(someFileName);
JNDI
does this automatically, instead of requiring an explicit
conversion step, because this is expected to be the common usage
pattern. By having the Reference
class, and a common
mechanism for converting a Reference
into the object
identified by the Reference
, JNDI encourages
different applications and system providers to utilize this
mechanism, rather than inventing separate mechanisms on their
own.


Hi, I'm Edwin Karanu Muiruri. I develop Android applications, design android User Interfaces, and front-end websites.
I have been developing Android applications for an year now. However, none of my projects have been uploaded to Google's Appstore yet.
I began my journey of Web development last year(2019). This year, I have had the opportunity to learn more about web development from Moringa School where I have had the chance to work on a number of practice projects assigned by the school.
Here are some of the projects I have worked on:

After a hard day of work I was finally able to create my blog website. I’m really excited to start writing and sharing about my researches, R codes and strategies to tackle this interesting subject area which is data science and predictive modeling.
I’m also glad that GitHub Pages allow us to create such things all for free!
The contents of my postings will be a balance between theory and application. I will also try to share R codes to accomplish some goals and help us in this journey.
Some postings might also be related to subjects and contexts still under investigation, so there will be times that you’ll find more questions than answers. Hopefully, by sharing these discussions the community can help us to find the best answers. Or at least the reasonable paths and strategies to address such issues.
I hope this blog can help you to improve your skills related to data science. And I hope also improve my own skills when we start exchanging ideas and knowledge through discussions in each posting.
Anyway, welcome to my blog! ;-)

BATMAN & ROBIN A film review by Andrew Hicks Copyright 1997 Andrew Hicks / Fatboy Productions
(1997) ** (out of four)
I'm as big a fan of the Batman franchise as any, but I think it's time for a mercy killing. BATMAN & ROBIN is easily the worst of the four recent BATMAN films. It's about on the level of the 1966 BATMAN movie; and that's no compliment. The '60s Batman was taken as an abomination of comic book purity, but it was at least funny and well-written at times. Akiva Goldsman's script for BATMAN & ROBIN would probably earn him a D+ in a ninth grade creative writing class.
The dialogue is a long string of horrible puns and cliches, and the serious parts are even worse. The core of a good movie is good writing, and rotten writing lies at the heart of a bad movie. The art direction here is about the same as BATMAN FOREVER, even using the same black light costuming and computer-generated swooping graphics of Gotham City.
Nothing remains the same from movie to movie in the BATMAN films. Different costumes, different villians, different Batmobile, even a different Batman. In one of those casting decisions I'll never understand, they picked George "ER" Clooney for BATMAN & ROBIN. He was passable in FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, but he does nothing here to distinguish himself as Batman. He's neither good nor bad nor memorable, but then again, it doesn't really matter who's under the mask as long as it's a slim, dark-haired white guy. It could be Howard Stern or John Bon Jovi for all we care.
It's always the villains that distinguish BATMAN films, from Jack Nicholson's Joker to Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman. Casting Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze seemed like a good idea until I actually saw him in costume. Head shaved, painted silver from head to toe in foreboding Tron armor that glows in the dark. The bad writing is spread all around, but Freeze is the only character who delivers 100 percent rotten lines, from "The iceman cometh!" to "Forecast: cool!" They make comic book dialogue balloons seem like they were written by Hemingway.
The rest of the cast is more or less adequate, although we can never get over the garbage that's coming out of their mouths. Returning actors Chris O'Donnell as Robin, Michael Gough as Alfred and Pat Hingle as Commissioner Gordon all step right back into the roles they've filled before, and cameo players with five or 10 lines each, like Elle MacPherson as Bruce Wayne's steady girlfriend and Vivica A. Fox as Freeze's lusty henchwoman (FOX: I'm hot for you. FREEZE: I'm cold for you.) liven things up a little.
Then there are the two leading babes -- Uma Thurman and Alicia Silverstone. Thurman plays comic book creation Poison Ivy, a character irresistable to men who is similar to Carolyn "Morticia" Jones as Marsha, Queen of Diamonds in the "Batman" TV show. She's beguiling as always, even with green plant eyebrows, but her character is written as a retread of Catwoman in BATMAN RETURNS. Both had origins as hard workers who stumbled upon their evil bosses' secrets and then the bosses tried to kill them. Catwoman was brought back by cats, now Poison Ivy is revived by nature itself.
Silverstone, who already seems past her prime, is Batgirl, whose origin is a retread of Robin's. Like O'Donnell in the last movie, she comes to stay at Wayne Manor after her parents are killed (I don't think people are allowed into Wayne Manor unless their parents are dead), stumbles upon Wayne's secret and decides she wants to fight crime too. There's even a repeat of the scene where Robin goes out by himself to battle a gang of neon thugs, then ends up being bailed by Batman. Here, it's Batgirl who does the fighting and Robin who does the bailing.
Just about everything in BATMAN & ROBIN borrows from past films. Mr. Freeze's origin story is similar to Two-Face's. Both did good for their fellow man -- Freeze as a scientist trying to find the cure for his wife's disease (This is the second time in three years Schwarzenegger has been uncredible as a scientist.) and Face as a district attorney -- and went awry after an on-the-job accident. Freeze falls into a vat of freezing solution and somehow survives, although his appearance is greatly altered. In that respect, he might as well be the Joker.
The two villains eventually pair up, just like Penguin and Catwoman in BATMAN RETURNS and Riddler and Two-Face in BATMAN FOREVER. Villains in Gotham City have to pair up sooner or later, and this time there's a third super-villain. It's Poison Ivy's henchman Bane, a grunting bohemoth who is created out of some kind of super plant solution. In the comic book, Bane was the ultra-intelligent villain who put Bruce Wayne out of commission; here, he's dumbed down to make Schwarzenegger's character seem like his IQ is above 100.
The plot is pretty shoestring here. Freeze wants to freeze the city; Poison Ivy wants to kill Batman and Robin. There's not much else to it -- a fourth of the movie is pure, convoluted action, another fourth is origin scenes, a third fourth is criminal activity and the last part is trouble in the Wayne household. Alfred's dying, and they draw it out as much as they possibly can, so that eventually we want to kill the old guy ourselves. Then there's Batman and Robin fighting amongst themselves over Poison Ivy and how Batman always has to be right.
BATMAN & ROBIN is on the elementary level as far as writing goes. Schumacher has taken the worst elements of surrealism and bad dialogue in BATMAN FOREVER and run with them. Nothing is the least bit believable anymore, from the opening stratosphere fight with Freeze on. There's a fifth BATMAN script finished, but if it has the name Akiva Goldsman on it, I doubt many people would tune in tomorrow. Same bad writing, same plot cliches.

I think it is easy to agree that pandas is a huge project. The idea behind pandas is to provide users a single package to extract, manipulate and analyze data. While I belive this design is one of the main reasons for the project succes, there would also be advantages on a more modular design. Thinking of pandas more as a framework than as a batteries included package.
In this post I will describe the current and potential modular design of pandas, and other packages that help pandas accomplish its mission.
Let me start by dividing the project in different components. There are other possible divisions of the project, but the next one will help discuss how pandas interact with the rest of the world.
First, pandas contains a backend. If we imagine a minimal version of pandas, the basic component of the project are probably the Series and DataFrame data structures. May be they would not contain much more functionality than previwing the data, and returning some metadata like the shape and types, but it is difficult to imagine even a minimal version of pandas without them.
Second, one of the key features of pandas is its indexing system. Being able to access data by a position in one of the axis by a descriptive name.
Then, we need an I/O module, so Series and DataFrame can be loaded and exported to other systems, from databases to plain text formats like csv, to binary formats parquet.
Once we have the data structures and the ability to load data to them, next by priority could possible by all the functionalities to transform data. In this space, pandas provides features for joining, concatenating, reshaping, grouping, creating windows, string manipulation and others.
With these components, pandas can be used as a powerful ETL software. ETL stands for Extract, Transform and Load data. So, we could build pipelines that extract data from different sources, join them, aggregate the data, clean imperfections and export it to a file in disk.
The next thing we would possibly like to add to pandas is its analysis functionality. For example, statistical functions like the mean, mode, standard deviation,... will fall in this component.
Finally, and related to using pandas as a data analysis tool, we also have the plotting functionality.
Summarizing, we can divide pandas in the next components:
- Backend and data structures
- Indexing
- Input / Output
- Data transformation
- Data analysis
- Plotting
The division may not be perfect, but it should be useful to discuss on how different components of pandas interact with the rest of the world. We will now analyse them one by one.
Backend and data structures
Python and numpy
The current pandas implementation is based on numpy. While Python is an extraordinary language that is serving extremly well the open source community, it was never design with large volumes of data in mind.
Without going into the details, Python is design for simplicity and flexibility, allowing code like:
`python my_list = [0, 3.1415, 'foo'] `
Which required that every object in the list stores its type with it. So the first value will not only store the value 0, but also that the bits internally representing the value of zero (e.g. 000000) should be considered an integer, and not another type.
But when we have something like:
`python my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] `
We are not making use of this flexibility, but Python will still store the type (and more information) for every value in the list. For a list of 5 elements that is not significant, but as our data becomes bigger, the penalty we pay in memory requirements and speed increases.
numpy is the de-facto standard in Python for a more performant (and less flexible approach). Of course it is more than that, but to keep it simple, pandas uses numpy to store the data in Series and DataFrame objects, and that makes pandas require less memory and perform much faster compared to a version backed by Python lists.
pandas backend alternatives
But numpy was not designed as a backend for pandas, but more as a package to operate over matrices. And while numpy has made pandas the great tool is it, it also imposes some limitations. Including an extra layer of complexity in pandas internals (mainly the BlockManager).
Ideally, the pandas backend should be able encapsulate all the internal representation of Series and DataFrame, and expose a low level API for the rest of pandas components to interact with. This would allow for several projects to "compete" and try different approaches, without having to reimplement the whole of pandas.
The most obvious alternative to the current backend is one based in Apache Arrow. Arrow is a project led by Wes McKinney, the creator of pandas, and the aim of Arrow is not only become a backend for pandas, but a backend for any project based on tabular data (e.g. R). This will not only create synergies, but will also allow for much better interoperability among the different tools.
Another possible implementation of the pandas backend could be based on PyPy. The main advantage of a PyPy backend would be its simplicity. The backend could be implemented in regular Python, and the PyPy Just-in-time compiler would take care of making the code faster and memory efficient. This would make the implementation extremly easy compared to the other approaches, which require C, C++ or Fortran implementations. While PyPy is not currently designed to optimize large lists or to manage types, based on the discussions I had with its maintainers, it is something feasible to have.
The current state
The scenario just described is more ideal than the current state. Right now pandas is very coupled to numpy, and there is not a clear backend. Even designing what should be in the backend, and what in the application layer is far from trivial. There is a consensus on moving towards an Arrow backend in a non-immediate future, but the how and the when is not yet defined.
Over the last past year, a lot of work in the project has been focused on extending the current backend with new types. What is known as pandas extension arrays. This has been a huge amount of work, but much simpler than isolating and replacing the current backend. The idea is to keep using numpy for numpy supported types (e.g. int, float,...) and have an API to be able to extend pandas with custom types.
Opening pandas types to be extended made the design of already custom pandas types much simpler (e.g. datetime with timezone, Period,...), and allowed the creation of third-party projects that enrich pandas, for example cyberpandas for ip addresses and masks, and Fletcher for more efficient strings.


The loan is based on a line of credit of no more than $500,000 and is project specific. Advances under the line of credit are discounted whereby the subcontractor or small prime will receive 95% of the requested advance amount. CFA will directly be repaid 100% of the requested advance either from the public sector unit or the contractor once funds are disbursed by the public sector unit.
The term of the line of credit is generally for sixty days. If advances under the line of credit are not repaid at the end of sixty days, interest will begin to accrue on the sixty-first day for a period not to exceed ninety days from the initial advance; at which time those advances still outstanding on the ninetieth day must be repaid.
As stated, repayment of the loan will generally come from the public unit to which the subcontractor/prime have entered into an agreement to perform certain services. The repayment will generally be based on the contractor’s draw request/account receivable as submitted to the public sector unit.
All parties to the transaction will acknowledge CFA’s security interest in the draw request and the reimbursement proceeds from the public sector unit.
CFA will approve candidates who have met the qualifications necessary to be authorized contractors on public sector projects and who also meet certain credit requirements of CFA.
Accordingly, CFA will provide financing of approved and valid draw requests/accounts receivable due from public sectors, as long as the contractor is in keeping with the qualification requirements of the public sector unit.
• Completion of CFA application (Click here to Download Application)
• Copy of construction contract with either the prime or the public sector unit
• At least three years in business, listing approved and completed projects
• No history of bankruptcies in the last seven years
• Two unrelated business references

[Mastermind#1578] @yorklab thanks i just google but confused about update process, 1 instructions says uninstall and then install new download, other website says download and select option reinstall current version which one is the right way ?
[Cryptodamus#6225] Yeah you download the new version of the zip file. Then you extract and run. Then when prompted select reinstall current version
[Cryptodamus#6225] Itll show it uninstalling the old version and then reinstalling the new one, but your wallet remains intact even if its uninstalled
[Mastermind#1578] thanks doing it now just downloaded
[Cryptodamus#6225] Before though, you should back up your wallet.dat file if you're using native
[Mastermind#1578] yea did that
[Cryptodamus#6225] If you're using spv or lite mode you wont have a wallet.dat
[PTYX#6840] @sir send me your ZILLA address, i'll send you a small tip for helping
[Cryptodamus#6225] RCxBjhLwFs973o4aUQbtPMGTgZhAT2fQMj
[Cryptodamus#6225] No problem, want more people involved!
[Mastermind#1578] so once this is done i open my usualy KMD in native and i see Zilla too in there ? or do i need to activate zilla seperately ?
[Cryptodamus#6225] No you select activate coin and zilla will be in the dropdown
[Cryptodamus#6225] Then just copy paste your zilla address and back it up somewhere
[Cryptodamus#6225] Then when PTYX initiates an airdrop, you can just copy paste your address in here and you'll get some $ZILLA
[Mastermind#1578] @sir ok thanks
[Mastermind#1578] i wonder if i have missed any other drops of this kind on agma i never activated any other coins before
[Mastermind#1578] wait uninstalling agama will it delete all the downloaded blockchain data also ?
[DJ-Crypto#8569] @Mastermind here is some pics to help
[Mastermind#1578] @GoldmanSocks thanks i am using native mode though i got the setps to activate coins but was wondering if ill be downloaded whole chain data again ?
[Mastermind#1578] i am currently on the popup which says " do you want to uninstall agama and all its modules ? "
[DJ-Crypto#8569] Native mode should download the whole chain, however if you had one previously downloaded it should pick that up and run with whats already there. If windows app data is not stored in program files so if you uninstall or remove all modules it should not delete wallet data etc. To be safe open up a file explorer in windows and type in %appdata% look for the folder for agama and backkup/copy first to a safe location usb stick etc.
[Cryptodamus#6225] Yes the chain state files remain iirc
[Cryptodamus#6225] Which means itll only have to resync for like 15-20 minutes
[Mastermind#1578] i have backed up wallet but not chain data though
[Mastermind#1578] i dont want to download the whole thing again my net sucks
[Cryptodamus#6225] Maybe less

Ever since the securitization of the migration flows, different institutions including states, IGOs, supranational organizations have adopted different measures. Often, these measures are harsh and exclusionary border practices in order to keep ‘third national countries’ excluded from potential host territories. Further, foreign aid has also become a tool for first world countries to direct their political agenda in order to strengthen these practices. To what degree is allocated assistance not need based but rather political ?This spatial analysis utilizes development assistance data for 2015 and 2018 to assess this query.
GIS PresentationNew York City has a substantial amount of residents residing in food apartheid. There are numerous and complex reasons as to why food apartheid exists, one of them being exclusionary zoning. This project assesses distribution of full-service grocery stores relative to the distribution of corner stores, grocers, and big-box food retail stores. Boroughs in NYC with the least access to full-service grocery stores are further ascertained. The analysis features percentage of low-income households, percentage of Hispanic or Latino origin by race populations, as well as the percentage of white populations throughout the 5 boroughs. Through the spatial analysis, it was found that low-income boroughs with higher percentages of Hispanic or Latino origin by race populations have more access to corner stores and less access to grocers, full-service grocery stores, and big box stores. This can be seen as a symptom of food apartheid.
GIS PresentationClimate change - resulting in food insecurity and financial instability - are forcing people to find better opportunities away from home. This project analizes a recent time period (2015-2019) relative to a baseline for NDVI vegetative values within Senegal. As agricultural productivity and NDVI values are generally related, this study finds negative anomalies to be a risk factor that can point to drought and stress conditions which can contribute to both food insecurity and financial instability.
GIS PresentationThis spatial analysis considers locations and neighborhoods in New York City that are particularly rent burdened (spending more than 30% of household income on monthly rent) or severely rent-burdened (spending more than 50% of household income on monthly rent). This project also maps the vacant properties and hotels listed in New York City that could be possible points of conversion for affordable housing. Resulting cartography reveals that most of the same neighborhoods with rent-burdened and severely rent-burdened households are also in neighborhoods with a higher density of vacancies and a greater number of hotel locations. These neighborhoods were most prominently Midtown Manhattan and Williamsburg Brooklyn.

GIS PresentationThe Nile River is considered to be the longest river in the world (approximately 4,258 miles). It flows through 11 countries starting from east Africa north into the Mediterranean Sea. Due to climate change, an increase in floods in the River Niles surrounding areas results in farm lands and homes vulnerable to its wrath. The Blue and White Nile meet in the city of Khartoum, Sudan. Most recently, Sudan was struck with many unprecedented challenges; an overthrow in a thirty year regime rule, an entire reconstruction of a transitional government, economic hardship, and most recently one of the worst floods the country has ever experienced. Khartoum was affected the most out of other regions, a staggering 103 thousand people were displaced according to a report by UN- OCHA Sudan. This project assesses impacted land area where the Blue and White Nile meet in Khartoum as a result of the recent flooding events, September 2020.
