STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT A film review by Philip Richard Yabut Copyright 1996 Philip Richard Yabut
Release date: November 22, 1996 Author's viewing date: December 7, 1996
The (very) long-awaited sequel to TNG "The Best of Both Worlds" has arrived, mixing the Borg, time travel, a little history, some humor, a new soundtrack, and eye-popping special effects. It has proven to be a winner in the eyes of the critics and box office receipts.
SPELLINGS: Zephram Cochrane
* Defining moment
FC wasn't just about the Borg and time travel and rearranging history. This was also the continuation of the journey that Captain Picard has taken as he continues to recover from his assimilation to the Collective six years prior. Here we see something that looks totally out of character for Picard: the thirst for revenge. But one has to remember that Picard was violated beyond imagination, stripped of his humanity and forced to murder thousands of his own people. Ironically it is Lily, a woman he had just met who had never even heard of the Borg, who reminds Picard of his duty to humanity...and himself. The Captain Ahab references work beautifully to illustrate the self-defeating aspects of Picards personal vendetta.
* Best cameo
The movie featured appearances, some uncredited, by other ST actors, like Robert Picardo as the Enterprise's EMH and Dwight Schultz as Lieutenant Barclay. But did you notice that Ethan Phillips was the first guy to get thrown around by the Borg in Picard's holodeck program? He acted a little like Neelix, too.
* Recycling away
Speaking of other ST actors, there were a couple of recycled guys, too. James Cromwell, last seen on ST as the Karemma representative Hanok in DS9 "Starship Down," is the most obvious. But did you know that Jack Shearer (Admiral Hayes) was last seen in VOY "Non Sequitur" and DS9 "Destiny?"
* Look Ma! I'm a real boy!
Data's quest to be more human took a bizarre turn when the Borg Queen kidnaps him and starts giving him some skin. This is the opposite of what the Borg usually do to other races. And it looks like Data as finally mastered the art of the bluff, as he fooled the Queen and Picard (and probably the unspoiled viewer) into believing he was loyal to the Borg (assimilated, as it were).
* A few words on those weird opening credits
It looks like the TNG movies are going to use the same font for the credits, first seen in "Generations" (if anyone can identify the name of that font, please tell me). The credits themselves looked like they were introducing a second-rate B-movie, and they made me dizzy.
* Useless factoids
There were plenty of 47s in the film, including Picard's access code...The entire final scene with the settlement, the trees, and the musical score was reminiscent of ST5's close. Thankfully, you couldn't hear Kirk, Spock and McCoy singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"...I guess the Borg don't have to breathe. Assimilated Earth didn't have oxygen in its atmosphere; and they seemed to survive just fine outdoors while Picard and Co. donned spacesuits...That music Picard was listening to at glass-shattering volume sounded a lot like Klingon opera...2063 happens to be 2 years after the next flyby of Halley's Comet. It's also 98 years before the founding of the Federation and exactly 300 years before the Enterprise-D was commissioned...That part of Montana looked pretty good considering the world was just ten years removed from World War III...Past episode references: TNG "The Best of Both Worlds" [I & II], "The Naked Now," "Generations"...The "Borg Queen" was never referred to as the "Borg Queen" by anyone, although that's what the credits call her...Riker described the Defiant as a "tough little ship." Tom Riker used the same words to describe Captain Sisko's warship in DS9 "Defiant"...Was it just me, or did Marina Sirtis use her real hair in the film (as opposed to a wig)?...The Enterprise-E's bridge was reminiscent of Voyager's. And Engineering bore a resemblence to its counterpart on the Defiant. Could they be redressed sets?...The Typhon sector, the area where Starfleet made its last stand, was also the setting for that temporal causality loop in TNG "Cause and Effect." Interestingly, the USS Bozeman also figured in both of these stories.
* Top three lists
Best f/x -- - Third prize: That first majestic shot of Hawk, Worf and Picard walking *on* the ship. - Second prize: The battle against the Borg in the Typhon sector. Definitely first-class. - First prize: The souped-up Borg are an f/x marvel by themselves. But the spectacular opening shot of Picard/Locutus on the Borg ship is one to remember.
Best lines -- - Third prize: "You broke your ships." -Lily - Second prize: "Assimilate *this*." -Worf - First prize: "The Borg? Sounds Swedish." -Lily
Best moments -- - Third prize: Deanna gets drunk with the legendary Zephram Cochrane. - Second prize: Cochrane meets the Vulcans--and can't do the salute. - First prize: Picard and Lily square off in the Observation Lounge.
* Score

In an earlier chapter we saw that Poissonizing the number of i.i.d. Bernoulli trials has a remarkable effect on the relation between the number of successes and the number of failures. In other situations too, randomizing the parameter of a standard model can affect supposedly well-understood relations between random variables.
In this section we will study one simple example of how randomizing a parameter affects dependence and independence.
Suppose I have three coins. Coin 1 lands heads with chance 0.25, Coin 2 with chance 0.5, and Coin 3 with chance 0.75. I pick a coin at random and toss it twice. Let's define some notation:
Then $X$ is uniform on $\{1, 2, 3\}$, and given $X$, the conditional distribution of $Y$ is binomial with $n=2$ and $p$ corresponding to the given coin. Here is the joint distribution table for $X$ and $Y$, along with the marginal of $X$.
x = make_array(1, 2, 3)
y = np.arange(3)
def jt(x, y):
if x == 1:
return (1/3)*stats.binom.pmf(y, 2, 0.25)
if x == 2:
return (1/3)*stats.binom.pmf(y, 2, 0.5)
if x == 3:
return (1/3)*stats.binom.pmf(y, 2, 0.75)
dist_tbl = Table().values('X', x, 'Y', y).probability_function(jt)
dist = dist_tbl.toJoint()
dist.marginal('X')
And here is the posterior distribution of $X$ given each different value of $Y$:
dist.conditional_dist('X', 'Y')
As we have seen in earlier examples, when the given number of heads is low, the posterior distribution favors the coin that is biased towards tails. When the given number of heads is high, it favors the coin that is biased towards heads.
We have always assumed that tosses of a coin are independent of each other. But within that assumption was another assumption, unspoken: we knew which coin we were tossing. That is, the chance of heads $p$ was a fixed number. But now we don't know which coin we are tossing, so we have to be careful.
Let $H_i$ be the event that Toss $i$ lands heads. Then
$$ P(H_1) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 0.25 ~+~ \frac{1}{3}\cdot 0.5 ~+~ \frac{1}{3}\cdot 0.75 ~=~ 0.5 ~=~ P(H_2) $$So each toss is equally likely to be heads or tails. Now let's find $P(H_1H_2)$. If the two tosses are independent, our answer shoud be 0.25.
$$ P(H_1H_2) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot 0.25^2 ~+~ \frac{1}{3}\cdot 0.5^2 ~+~ \frac{1}{3}\cdot 0.75^2 ~=~ 0.2917 ~ \ne P(H_1)P(H_2) $$(1/3)*(0.25**2 + 0.5**2 + 0.75**2)
The two tosses are not independent. Because the coin itself is random, knowing the result of Toss 1 tells you something about which coin was picked, and hence affects the probability that Toss 2 lands heads.
$$ P(H_2 \mid H_1) = \frac{P(H_1H_2)}{P(H_1)} = \frac{0.2917}{0.5} = 0.5834 > 0.5 = P(H_2) $$Knowing that the first coin landed heads makes it more likely that Coin 3 was picked, and hence increases the conditional chance that that the second toss will be a head.
This example shows that you have to be careful about how data can affect probabilities. To make justifiable conclusions based on your data, keep assumptions in mind when you calculate probabilities, and use the division rule to update probabilities as more data comes in.

Luvit 2.5.6 Documentation
Table of Contents
Core#
Core object model for luvit using simple prototypes and inheritance. We support single inheritance for classes.
core.instanceof(obj, class)#
Given an object which inherits from a class, and a class, returns whether the object is an instance of that class.
> em = core.Emitter:new()
> core.instanceof(em, core.Emitter)
true
Class: core.Object#
The base object class. It provides simple prototypal inheritance and inheritable constructors. All other objects inherit from this.
Object:create()#
Creates a new instance of the base object
Object:new(...)#
Creates a new instance and calls obj:initialize(...)
if it exists.
local Rectangle = Object:extend()
function Rectangle:initialize(w, h)
self.w = w
self.h = h
end
function Rectangle:getArea()
return self.w * self.h
end
local rect = Rectangle:new(3, 4)
p(rect:getArea())
Object:extend()#
Creates a new sub-class.
local Square = Rectangle:extend()
function Square:initialize(w)
self.w = w
self.h = h
end
Class: core.Emitter#
This class can be used directly whenever an event emitter is needed.
local emitter = Emitter:new()
emitter:on('foo', p)
emitter:emit('foo', 1, 2, 3)
Also it can easily be sub-classed.
local Custom = Emitter:extend()
local c = Custom:new()
c:on('bar', onBar)
Unlike EventEmitter in node.js, Emitter class doesn't auto binds self
reference. This means, if a callback handler is expecting a self
reference,
utils.bind() should be used, and the callback handler should have a self
at
the beginning its parameter list.
function some_func(self, a, b, c) end
emitter:on('end', utils.bind(some_func, emitter))
emitter:emit('end', 'a', 'b', 'c')
Emitter:on(name, callback)#
Adds an event listener (callback
) for the named event name
.
em = Emitter:new()
em:on('data', function(data) print(data) end)
Emitter:once(name, callback)#
Same as Emitter:on
except it de-registers itself after the first event.
Emitter:listenerCount(name)#
Returns the count of the listeners bound to an event with the name name
Emitter:emit(name, ...)#
Emit a named event to all listeners with optional data arguments
> em = Emitter:new()
> em:on('data', function(data) print(data) end)
> em:emit('data', 'foo')
'foo'
Emitter:removeListener(name, callback)#
Removes a listener so it no longer catches events
> em = Emitter:new()
> em:on('data', function(data) print(data) end)
> em:emit('data', 'foo')
foo
> em:removeListener('data', function() em:emit('data', 'foo') end)
> -- nothing printed
Emitter:removeAllListeners(name)#
Removes all listeners. Name is optional and if supplied will make it act like removeListener
Emitter:listeners(name)#
Returns listeners for the event with name name
Emitter:wrap(name)#
Utility that binds the named method self[name]
for use as a callback. The
first argument (err
) is re-routed to the "error" event instead.
local Joystick = Emitter:extend()
function Joystick:initialize(device)
self:wrap("onOpen")
FS.open(device, self.onOpen)
end
function Joystick:onOpen(fd)
-- and so forth
end
Emitter:propagate(eventName, target)#
Propagate the event to another emitter.
Class: core.Error#
This is for code that wants structured error messages.
Error:initialize(message)#

I've worked in projects that used terraform remote state in the past. Since I've been using terraform lately, decided to configure remote state for terraform. I'm using terraform 0.10.7, however
terraform remote config
is not available in terraform anymore. After going through documentation and github issues for few hours figured that terraform
removed remote config
from 0.9 and introduced backends
instead. A document on Backend and Legacy Remote State has more information.
Also, a detailed documentation on backend configuration is available at Backend Configuration.
Below I discuss approach I took as an example.
My current directory structure,
-rw-r--r-- 1 xydinesh staff 2.4K Oct 19 16:01 main.tf
drwxr-xr-x 6 xydinesh staff 204B Oct 16 11:03 modules
drwxr-xr-x 4 xydinesh staff 136B Oct 13 17:35 scripts
drwxr-xr-x 4 xydinesh staff 136B Oct 16 15:16 task-definitions
-rw-r--r-- 1 xydinesh staff 1.4K Oct 19 15:05 terraform.tfstate
-rw-r--r-- 1 xydinesh staff 60K Oct 19 15:03 terraform.tfstate.backup
drwxr-xr-x 3 xydinesh staff 102B Oct 19 15:02 terraform.tfstate.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 xydinesh staff 21B Oct 19 16:00 terraform.tfvars
-rw-r--r-- 1 xydinesh staff 109B Oct 19 16:01 variables.tf
In order to configure terraform to use backend
(S3). I created two files, backend.tf
and backend.config
.
terraform {
backend "s3" {}
}
bucket = "terraform-state-bucket"
key = "osrm-cluster/v1/terraform.tfstate"
region = "us-east-1"
encrypt = true
These two files along with fabfile.py
added at the top level of the directory.
-rw-r--r--@ 1 xydinesh staff 142B Oct 19 15:45 backend.config
-rw-r--r--@ 1 xydinesh staff 33B Oct 19 15:43 backend.tf
-rw-r--r--@ 1 xydinesh staff 113B Oct 19 15:47 fabfile.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 xydinesh staff 2.4K Oct 19 16:01 main.tf
drwxr-xr-x 6 xydinesh staff 204B Oct 16 11:03 modules
drwxr-xr-x 4 xydinesh staff 136B Oct 13 17:35 scripts
drwxr-xr-x 4 xydinesh staff 136B Oct 16 15:16 task-definitions
-rw-r--r-- 1 xydinesh staff 1.4K Oct 19 15:05 terraform.tfstate
-rw-r--r-- 1 xydinesh staff 60K Oct 19 15:03 terraform.tfstate.backup
drwxr-xr-x 3 xydinesh staff 102B Oct 19 15:02 terraform.tfstate.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 xydinesh staff 21B Oct 19 16:00 terraform.tfvars
-rw-r--r-- 1 xydinesh staff 109B Oct 19 16:01 variables.tf
and then I called init
command,
terraform init -backend -backend-config=backend.config
It asked me few questions on syncing local state to remote state. This was all the changes I needed to setup terraform backend.
After this I was able to use terraform workspace
with remote backend. If you haven't used workspaces yet, I recommend you to take look.

MemoryMemory is the most important area you can tune in the server operating system. By reserving a sufficient amount of memory for the proper size SGA for your system, you will see a good balance between CPU and I/O. If your SGA is too small, you may see idle CPU cycles when Oracle is doing nothing but waiting for I/Os to complete. If this occurs, your machine has become I/O bound. Frequently, all you need is a larger SGA to achieve the right balance. In NetWare and Windows NT, the memory used for Oracle is the same as any other memory used in the system. In the UNIX operating system, you must reserve shared memory for the SGA. The shared memory area is a special type of memory that allows multiple processes to access the same memory. In some UNIX implementations, you may be able to take advantage of Page Size Extension (PSE) memory. PSE memory uses a much larger page size and thus reduces memory page lookup thrashing in the OS. Be careful of the restrictions associated with PSE memory; the amount of PSE memory you allocate is frequently reserved at boot time and is not available for other uses in the system, even if it is not used. I/OI/O is another important area you must sometimes tune in the server OS. In some operating systems, there is nothing to tune; in others, you can change parameters to improve I/O performance. Depending on the operating system, you may have to change the database block size to take advantage of the OS block size. Of course, the best way to improve I/O performance is by carefully distributing data files to take advantage of the available I/O bandwidth. By separating sequential and random I/Os, you can take advantage of the available disk throughput, as described in Chapter 13, System Processors, and Chapter 14, Advanced Disk I/O Concepts. If you use OS striping for fault tolerance or performance, you may have to tune several parameters within the disk striping or file system subsystems. This requirement varies depending on the operating system and striping method. The way in which operating systems do I/O is also very important. Although the operating systems examined in Chapter 12, Operating System-Specific Tuning, have various methods of handling I/Os, many concepts are the same. Whether you use Direct FS under Windows NT or NetWare, raw UNIX synchronous I/O, or raw devices, the way Oracle does I/O must be handled the same. And regardless of the operating system you use, the concept of Asynchronous I/O is always the same.
To have more insight into how the system operates, you should look a little deeper into how Oracle does I/O: Oracle has a sophisticated cache management system. Using the database block buffers and the shared pool, much of the frequently used data can be stored in memory for quick retrieval. Working closely with this cache management system is the Oracle redo log. With the cache and the redo log, Oracle has created both a high performing and robust database management system. To keep the data files and redo log synchronized, Oracle must perform I/Os in a specific way. Oracle must make sure that when the RDBMS believes data has been written to the data files, that data is there. Oracle ensures this by using the operating system I/O interface. In NetWare or Windows NT, this interface is called the Direct FS interface. In UNIX, this interface is the synchronous I/O interface. In UNIX or Windows NT, you can also use raw disk devices. Direct or Synchronous I/OWith direct or synchronous I/O, the process requesting the I/O must block on the physical I/O. To block on the I/O means that the process goes to sleep waiting for the I/O to return. With normal I/O, the process blocks on the I/O, but the I/O returns completed when the data has been written into the OS disk cache. With synchronous I/O, the process blocks on the I/O, but the I/O does not return until the data has been physically written to the disk. This method of I/O ensures data integrity. Synchronous I/Os are so important because of the way Oracle does data recovery. Remember the concept of the checkpoint. At one point in time, Oracle writes out all the dirty buffers in the SGA. All the data that has been changed up to the time at which the checkpoint started is written out. Once the checkpoint has completed, the data files are updated to indicate that the data file is current up to the last checkpoint. Once Oracle has written data to the disk, no recovery is performed on that data in the event of a system failure. If Oracle thought it had written this data to disk, but in fact the data been written only to the OS disk cache, when a failure occurs, this data cannot be recovered and the database will have incorrect data in it. From the standpoint of the DBWR process, the data has been written to disk. Data integrity cannot be maintained without Direct FS or synchronous I/Os However, by using synchronous or direct I/O to ensure that all data has really been written to disk, there is no integrity problem. Only by using synchronous or direct I/O can data integrity be ensured. Every operating system offers some sort of direct or synchronous I/O.

The integration of computer science in schools has not been seamless. Many hold the belief that computer science, or programming in particular, should not be enforced in school. Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux Operating System and Git, is a notable proponent to this notion. "I actually don't believe that everybody should necessarily try to learn to code" says Torvalds. "I think it's reasonably specialized, and nobody really expects most people to have to do it. It's not like knowing how to read and write and do basic math." Experienced computer scientists like Torvalds believe that programming is an important tool, but it is far too specialized to be a requirement like Mathematics or Biology. Therefore, it should not be enforced as a required class.

Local Folder: This is your working directory—usually a folder on your hard drive. Editors (Dreamweaver) refer to this folder as your local site root
This repesents the server
This is where optimised html, css, js, images, videos etc are kept
This is NOT where development files are kept, i.e photoshop files etc
A common beginner mistake is to start working on web pages in without defining a site. This results in links to assets, such as images and style sheets, pointing to a location on your local computer (cdrive\desktop\wayne\folder) Everything works fine until you come to upload the site to your remote server. Then you discover all your links are broken and need to be fixed.
We reference all assets via relative links (relative to the current page)
linking to an image then becomes "/assets/week1assets/imgname.jpg"
or linking to a style sheets becomes "/css/style.css"
(Makes it much easier to update)
NO inline styles, scripts or functions
Get your notepads out!
A block-level element always starts on a new line and takes up the full width available (stretches out to the left and right as far as it can).
A block elements height should be determined by its content unless specifically set.

 -

An inline element does not start on a new line and only takes up as much width as necessary.

Multimedia (could be bx slider)

//js
$(function() {
$('.bxslider').bxSlider({
mode: 'fade',
captions: true,
slideWidth: 600
});
});
Video (video tag or youtube)
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Advanced interaction (could be dragging)
$('.item').draggable({
revert: true,
proxy: 'clone',
onStartDrag: function() {
$(this).draggable('proxy').css('z-index', 10);
console.log($(this).find('p.title').text());
}
});
//item to drop
$('.cart').droppable({
onDrop: function(e, source) {
var name = $(source).find('p.title').text();
var price = $(source).find('p.title').attr("data");
addProduct(name, parseFloat(price));
}
});
Expectations
Apply appropriate web standards ensuring maximum interoperability. i.e.
Responsive Design (mobile, tablet, desktop)
Cross browser
Check code is w3c compliant
Demonstrate the appropriate use of web standards to ensure maximum interoperability between browsers and devices. Particularly, Markup (CSS, HTML) Cross browser/platform Testing and responsive design (Media Queries).
Responsive website design is the most suitable type of web design style and the most popular in today’s time. It provides precise viewing experience of a website to the user, adapting to all screens across devices.
Media query is a CSS technique introduced in CSS3. It uses the @media rule to include a block of CSS properties only if a certain condition is true.
i.e If the browser window is smaller than 500px, the background color will change to lightblue:
@media only screen and (max-width: 500px) {
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
}
"The completed website uploaded to the agreed server on or before the date of submission"
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network. FTP is built on a client-server model architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.
Hardware. It may seem trivial, but it is surprising how many developers pay little attention to this detail. This is why you need to perform cross-browser testing. Dev tools are good for quick testing and checking media queries but not sufficient or accurate for real interoperability testing.
BrowserStack is a cloud web and mobile testing platform that enables developers to test their websites and mobile applications across on-demand browsers, operating systems and real mobile devices, without requiring users to install or maintain an internal lab of virtual machines, devices or emulators
You receive 30 minutes of testing on Live, 100 minutes of testing on Automate, 100 Screenshots + Responsive and 30 minutes of testing on App Live.

An extremely vicious female creature that harbors a strong hatred of almost all living things. What little information we have about her is mainly transmitted by survivors of the attacks and witchers.
Legend has it that Strygs only hunt when the moon is full, but during this process they are blinded by hatred and attack without hesitation. At the same time, they are very picky eaters: they use their long, sharp claws to kill or injure prey, but never completely devour it. They approach the matter selectively, eating only those organs that they want to eat at that moment. Stryga's most famous story is that of Temeria, with Princess Adda.


Earth is the third planet from the Sun and is the largest of the terrestrial planets. The Earth is the only planet in our solar system not to be named after a Greek or Roman deity. The Earth was formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago and is the only known planet to support life.

Chicago 7-year-old shot while trick-or-treating
Girl in critical condition
by Madeline Holcombe and Joe Sutton, CNNCHICAGO - A night of trick-or-treating ended with a 7-year-old girl critically injured after she was shot Thursday night in Chicago.
The girl had been trick-or-treating with her family around 5:30 p.m., when a group of men chasing another man began firing, Chicago Police Department Sgt. Rocco Alioto told reporters Thursday night.
The child was shot in the lower neck, police said, and is in critical condition at Stroger Hospital.
Alioto said the child is "fighting for her life."
"This is unacceptable.
A 31-year-old man was also shot in the incident. He is in stable condition after being transported to Mount Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound to his left hand, police said.
There is no relationship between the victims, police said.
Alioto said police do not yet have a description for those involved and were canvassing the area.

Yorketown fire: School kids thank Country Fire Service volunteers with handwritten cards
It’s enough to make your heart melt. Yorkes schoolchildren have thanked their hometown bushfire heroes with gorgeous handwritten cards.
St Columba’s Memorial School students at Yorketown delivered handmade thank you cards to Country Fire Services volunteers on Thursday alongside a short video expressing their gratitude.
The school community is banding together after some of their staff and students’ families lost properties in the blaze that burnt 5000ha in the southern Yorke Peninsula earlier this week.
The primary school was closed on Wednesday due to catastrophic fire danger rating issued for the district and the day reached 43.9C.
Assistant principal Miriam Honner said 25 out of 84 students returned to the R-7 school on Thursday.
She said the thank you letters helped the children “looked towards the positive” amid the loss locals now face.
“In a bad situation, look to the people who helped,” she said.
“We got them to think about the firefighters and away from the damage and the fire.”
The students wrote dozens of letters and made salads, which were handed to Country Fire Service volunteers at the Yorketown RSL staging area.
One card read, “Thank you for everything you did for us we are so lucky to have you. From SCMS”.
Another, with a picture of water bombers dousing flames, read: “Thank you for protecting us from the fire. We are thinking about your bravery and achievement.”


Assignment: Caesar
Implement a program that encrypts messages using Caesar’s cipher.
Example:
$ ./caesar 13
plaintext: HELLO
ciphertext: URYYB
You can access your CS50 IDE at ide.cs50.io.
Background
Supposedly, Caesar (yes, that Caesar) used to “encrypt” (i.e., conceal in a reversible way) confidential messages by shifting each letter therein by some number of places. For instance, he might write A as B, B as C, C as D, etc., and, wrapping around alphabetically, Z as A. And so, to say HELLO to someone, Caesar might write IFMMP. Upon receiving such messages from Caesar, recipients would have to “decrypt” them by shifting letters in the opposite direction by the same number of places.
The secrecy of this “cryptosystem” relied on only Caesar and the recipients knowing a secret: the number of places by which Caesar had shifted his letters (e.g., 1). Not particularly secure by modern standards, but, hey, if you’re perhaps the first in the world to do it, pretty secure!
Cryptographers, refer to unencrypted text as plaintext. Encrypted text is called ciphertext. And the secret is called a key.
To be clear, here’s how encrypting HELLO
with a key of 1 yields IFMMP
:
| plaintext | H | E | L | L | O |
| + key | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| = cyphertext | I | F | M | M | P |
More formally, Caesar’s algorithm (i.e., cipher) encrypts messages by “rotating” each letter by k positions. More formally, if p is some plaintext (i.e., an unencrypted message), pi is the ith character in p, and k is a secret key (i.e., a non-negative integer), then each letter, ci, in the ciphertext, c, is computed as
ci = (pi + k) % 26
where % 26
here means “remainder when dividing by 26.” This formula might make the cipher seem more complicated than it is, but it’s really just a concise way of expressing the algorithm precisely.
For the sake of discussion, think of A (or a) as 0, B (or b) as 1, …, H (or h) as 7, I (or i) as 8, …, and Z (or z) as 25. Suppose that Caesar just wants to say “Hi” to someone using a key, k, of 3. His plaintext, p, is “Hi”. His plaintext’s first character, p0, is H (aka 7), and his plaintext’s second character, p1, is i (aka 8). His ciphertext’s first character, c0, is thus 7 + 3 = 10 (aka K), and his ciphertext’s second character, c1, is 8 + 3 = 11 (or L).
Your task is to write a program called caesar
that enables you to encrypt messages using Caesar’s cipher.  We shouldn’t necessarily assume that the user’s key is going to be a number; though you may assume that, if it is a number, it will be a positive integer.
Here are a few examples of how the program might work. For example, if the user inputs a key of 1
and a plaintext of HELLO
:
$ ./caesar 1
plaintext: HELLO
ciphertext: IFMMP
Here’s how the program might work if the user provides a key of 13
and a plaintext of hello, world
:
$ ./caesar 13
plaintext: hello, world
ciphertext: uryyb, jbeyq
Notice that neither the comma nor the space were “shifted” by the cipher. Only rotate alphabetical characters!
How about one more? Here’s how the program might work if the user provides a key of 13
again, with a more complex plaintext:
$ ./caesar 13
plaintext: be sure to drink your Ovaltine
ciphertext: or fher gb qevax lbhe Binygvar
Notice that the case of the original message has been preserved. Lowercase letters remain lowercase, and uppercase letters remain uppercase.
And what if a user doesn’t cooperate?
$ ./caesar HELLO
Usage: ./caesar key
Or really doesn’t cooperate?
$ ./caesar
Usage: ./caesar key
Or even…
$ ./caesar 1 2 3
Usage: ./caesar key
Requirements
Write a program, caesar
, that encrypts messages using Caesar’s cipher.
- Write your program in a file called
caesar.c
. - Your program must accept a single command-line argument, a non-negative integer. Let’s call it k for the sake of discussion.
- If your program is executed without any command-line arguments or with more than one command-line argument, your program should print an error message of your choice (with
printf
) and return frommain()
a value of1
(which tends to signify an error) immediately. - If any of the characters of the command-line argument is not a digit, your program should also print the error and return from
main()
a value of1
. - Do not assume that k will be less than or equal to 26. Your program should work for all non-negative integer values of k less than
2^31 - 26
.  (Recall that anint
can overflow.) But even if k is greater than 26, alphabetical characters in your program’s input should remain alphabetical characters in your program’s output. For instance, if k is 27, A should not become [ even though [ is 27 positions away from A in ASCII, per https://asciichart.com/; A should become B, since B is 27 positions away from A, provided you wrap around from Z to A. - Your program must output
plaintext:
(without a newline) and then prompt the user for a string of plaintext (usingget_string()
). - Your program must output
ciphertext:
(without a newline) followed by the resulting ciphertext (remember, non-alphabetic characters should be unchanged). - Your program must preserve case: capitalized letters, though rotated, must remain capitalized letters; lowercase letters, though rotated, must remain lowercase letters.
- After outputting ciphertext, you should print a newline. Your program should then exit by returning
0
frommain()
.
How to begin? Let’s approach this problem one step at a time.
1. Pseudocode
There’s more than one way to do this, so here’s just one example:
- Check that program was run with one command-line argument
- Iterate over the provided argument to make sure all characters are digits
- Convert that command-line argument from a string to an int
- Prompt user for plaintext
- Iterate over each character of the plaintext:
- If it is an uppercase letter, rotate it, preserving case, then print out the rotated character
- If it is a lowercase letter, rotate it, preserving case, then print out the rotated character
- If it is neither, print out the character as is
- Print a newline
2. Counting Command-Line Arguments
Whatever your pseudocode, first write only the C code that checks whether the program was run with a single command-line argument before you add any additional functionality.
Specifically, in a new file called caesar.c
write code such that: if the user provides exactly one command-line argument, it prints Success
; if the user provides no command-line arguments, or two or more, it prints Usage: ./caesar key
. Remember, since this key is coming from the command line at runtime, and not via get_string, we don’t have an opportunity to re-prompt the user. The behavior of the resulting program should be like the below.
$ ./caesar 20
Success
or
$ ./caesar
Usage: ./caesar key
or
$ ./caesar 1 2 3
Usage: ./caesar key
Hints
- Recall that
argc
andargv
give you information about what was provided at the command line. - Recall that the name of the program itself (ie,
./caesar
) is inargv[0]
.
3. Accessing the Key
Now that your program is (hopefully!) accepting input as prescribed, it’s time for another step.
In your program, you must defend against users who technically provide a single command-line argument (the key), but provide something that isn’t actually an integer, for example:
$ ./caesar xyz
Before we start to analyze the key for validity, though, let’s make sure we can actually read it. Modify caesar.c
so that it not only checks that the user has provided one command-line argument, but after verifying that, prints out that single command-line argument. So, for example, the behavior might look like this:
$ ./caesar 20
Success
20
Hints
- Recall that
argc
andargv
give you information about what was provided at the command line. - Recall that
argv
is an array of strings. - Recall that you can access individual elements of an array, such as
argv
using square brackets, for example:argv[0]
.
4. Validating the Key
Now that you know how to read the key, you can analyze it. Modify caesar.c
so that instead of printing out the command-line argument provided, your program instead checks to make sure that each character of that command line argument is a decimal digit (i.e., 0
, 1
, 2
, etc.) and if any of them are not, terminates after printing the message Usage: ./caesar key
. But if the argument consists solely of digit characters, you should convert that string (recall that argv
is an array of strings, even if those strings happen to look like numbers) to an actual integer, and print out the integer. So, for example, the behavior might look like this:
$ ./caesar 20
Success
20
or
$ ./caesar 20x
Usage: ./caesar key
Hints
- Recall that a string is actually an array of chars.
- Recall that the
string.h
header file contains a number of useful functions that work with strings. - Recall that we can use a loop to iterate over each character of a string if we know its length.
- Recall that the
ctype.h
header file contains a number of useful functions that tell us things about characters. - Recall that the
atoi()
function converts a string that looks like a number into that number.
5. Under the Hood
As humans it’s easy for us to intuitively understand the formula described above, so we can say “H + 1 = I”. But can a computer understand that same logic? For now, temporarily ignore the key the user provided and instead prompt the user for a secret message and just try to shift all of its characters by 1.
Add to caesar.c
so that, after validating the key, you prompt the user for a string and then shift all of its characters by 1, printing out the result. You can also remove the code you wrote earlier that prints Success
. You’re goal is something like this:
$ ./caesar 1
plaintext: hello
ciphertext: ifmmp
Hints
- Try to iterate over every character in the plaintext and literally add
1
to it, then print it. - If
c
is a variable of typechar
in C, what happens when you callprintf("%c", c + 1)
?
6. Last step
You’re in the home stretch! Instead of shifting the characters by 1, change caesar.c
to instead shift them by the actual key value. Be sure to preserve case! Uppercase letters should stay uppercase, lowercase letters should stay lowercase, and characters that aren’t alphabetical should remain unchanged.
Hints
- Use the modulo (i.e., remainder) operator,
%
, to handle wraparound from Z to A! - Things get weird if you try to wrap Z or z by 1 using the technique in the previous section.
- Recall that ASCII maps all printable characters to numbers.
- Recall that the ASCII value of
A
is 65. The ASCII value ofa
is 97. - If you’re not seeing any output at all when you call
printf()
, odds are it’s because you’re printing characters outside of the valid ASCII range from 0 to 127. Try printing characters as numbers (using%i
instead of%c
) at first to see what values you’re printing, and make sure you’re only ever trying to print valid characters!

PLEASE REPLACE ME
For more information about the EPICS, please refer to the home page of the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System.
This is the 10 November 2011 version of the EPICS v4 normative types specification. This is an editors draft, composed soley of the type definitions agreed at the Oct 2011 PSI EPICS V4 workshop.
Since this is an editors draft, it is not intended for comments.
The terms MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, REQUIRED, and MAY when highlighted (through style sheets, and in uppercase in the source) are used in accordance with RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. The term NOT REQUIRED (not defined in RFC 2119) indicates exemption.
EPICS version 4 supplies basic types types. Additionally, EPICS V4 defines a set of Normative types that build on the PVStructure type.
float (IEEE 754) double (IEEE 754) short (16 bit) int (32 bit) long (64 bit) byte (8 bit) string (UTF-8*) boolean
NOTE: There is no specific support for unsigned types. * See definition in RESOLUTION of 4-Oct.
typeIdentifier is a long whose bitfield value is used to uniquely identify a PVStructure instance as an example of a data type. The first 16 bits (of 64) are reserved to identify the normative types.
long typeIdentifier_t
The following control types are defined as structures of atomic types, and encoded as PVStructure.
structure enum_t int index string[] choices
structure timeStamp_t long secsPastEpoch int nanoseconds int userTag
structure alarm_t int severity* int status* string message
structure nameValuePair_t string name string value
*severity is defined as an int (not an enum_t), but should be functionally interpreted only as the enumeration {NONE, MINOR, MAJOR, INVALID, UNDEFINED }
*status is defined as an int (not an enum_t), but should be functionally interpreted only as the enumeration {NONE, DEVICE, DRIVER, RECORD, DB, CONF, UNDEFINED, CLIENT }
float[] (IEEE 754) double[] (IEEE 754) short[] (16 bit) int[] (32 bit) long[] (64 bit) byte[] (8 bit) string[] boolean[]
enum_t[] timeStamp_t[] alarm_t[] nameValuePair_t[]
The set of control general-normative types is the composed of each of the general-normative types, plus timestamp and severity. These are encoded as PVStructure.
Syntax of type definition:
structure type-name type-name field-name type-name field-name
type-name identifies the type - one of those above.
field-name identifies the field in the introspection interface.
Defined as:
structure NTFloat alarm_t alarm timeStamp_t timeStamp float value
A decoder would interpret this as, if you are given structure which is named NTFloat, you would expect to find that this structure is defined as an alarm_t field whose introspection name is "alarm", followed by a timeStamp_t type field, whose introspection name is "timeStamp", followed by a float, whose introspection name is "value".
NTDouble NTShort (16 bit) NTInt (32 bit) NTLong (64 bit) NTByte (8 bit) NTString (see resolution 4-Oct-2011 meeting) NTBoolean
Defined as:
structure NTEnum typeIdentifier_t typeIdentifier alarm_t alarm timeStamp_t timeStamp enum_t value
The array as a whole has NTTimestamp and NTAlarm [still have to argue about that].
NTFloatArray NTDoubleArray NTShortArray (16 bit) NTIntArray (32 bit) NTLongArray (64 bit) NTByteArray (8 bit) NTStringArray (see resolution 4-Oct-2011 meeting) NTBooleanArray NTEnumArray
Specific normative types are types defined by the EPICS V4 working group, that are oriented towards specific uses. These are also encoded as PVStructure.
Times always in seconds.
Frequencies always in Hz.
MultichannelArray is a type to aggregate an array of scalar values into a single array variable.
structure NTMultichannelArray typeIdentifier_t typeIdentifier alarm_t alarm timeStamp_t timeStamp double[] values int[] severities double[] positions // The real absolute or relative position of each scalar. If not relevant, should be valued 0.0. double[] deltaTimes // The time relative to the timeStamp in seconds. If not relevant, should be valued 0.0
NTTimeDomainArray expresses an array of values that have a constant time between each value.
structure NTTimeDomainArray typeIdentifier_t typeIdentifier alarm_t alarm timeStamp_t timeStamp // Time of the first sample[] values double deltaTime // Time in seconds between each sample.
structure NTHistogram typeIdentifier_t typeIdentifier alarm_t alarm timeStamp_t timeStamp double firstValue double lastValue enum_t mode // LINEAR and LOGARITHMIC long Nbuckets // array size long[] values
structure NTNumericArray typeIdentifier_t typeIdentifier int dataType long [] dims byte [] data // at least product(dims) * element_size(datatype) alarm_t alarm timestamp_t timeStampModels and their names:
int datatype; ssize_t [] dims; char * data[product(dims) * element_size(datatype)]
int datatype; size_t [] dims; char * data[at least product(dims) * element_size(datatype)]Plus information about position relative to origin
int datatype; size_t [] dims; char * data[product(dims) * element_size(datatype)]Plus support for chunked arrays (non-contiguous storage with a mapping from co-ordinates to storage) And initial/maximum dimensions
int datatype; int element_size; int alignment; size_t [] dims; // max 32 dimensions size_t [] strides; char * data[at least product(dims) * element_size]Plus the ability to have arrays of Python objects
It is not necessary to store element size as it can be calculated by from the datatype (double is 8 etc.) Alignment can also be calculated. Is it useful to store strides? Rejected alternatives:
structure NTNumericArray int datatype long [] dims byte [] data float [] data double [] data int [] data long [] data
structure NTNumericArray long [] dims OR byte [] data OR float [] data OR double [] data OR int [] data OR long [] data

NTStatistic is a type to compress time domain data. It may be used for archive data, or compressing time domain data, or time domain rebasing. For instance, you have an FPGA sending data at 10KHz, and you want to archive its output, but you can't archive at the native rate.

Main content
This is where the main bulk of the document content would go.


If you are creating some really large project like a strategy game or a platformer you’ll need some tool to design levels. And this tool is probably Tiled - a universal open source level editor.
The Tiled interface is similar to other editors so I don’t think there is any need to describe it (but you can check this article if you want). The thing is, you take some tileset created by graphics designer and use this tileset to create a map.
We’ll take this tileset with wizard and knight animations for out first example.
The map design has some things special for Cocos2dx:
*.tsx
) in the same folder with map file(*.tmx
); otherwise you can get some problems during loadingMap loading is easy, it’s only one line of code:
const char mapFilename[] = "beach/beach_map.tmx";
TMXTiledMap* mapNode = TMXTiledMap::create(mapFilename);
if (mapNode == nullptr) {
// error processing
}
addChild(mapNode, ZO_BACKGROUND);
The TMXTiledMap
is a subclass of Node so you should already know how to work with it :)
There is always some additional information you may want to add to the map. For example, it can be a starting point for the hero or some tiles where moving is prohibited.
In order to create such markings you can do following:
The “meta” tileset can look like this:
Since players will never see this tiles, it doesn’t matter what pictures are used there. Here it’s just some numbers and letters.
You should add a special integer value (tag) to each meta tile; later the program will use this values to distinguish one tile from another. On the picture below this tag’s field is called “MetaCode”. You can add it by pressing the blue “+” sign at the bottom of the panel.
The meta infirmation loading looks like:
bool SimpleNoScrollScene::loadMetaInfo(TMXTiledMap* const mapNode) {
const string metaLayerName = "meta";
TMXLayer* const metaLayer = mapNode->getLayer(metaLayerName);
if (metaLayer == nullptr) {
printf("Failed to find %s layer\n", metaLayerName.c_str());
return false;
}
const Size mapSize = mapNode->getMapSize();
obstaclesMapWidth = mapSize.width;
obstaclesMapHeight = mapSize.height;
obstaclesMap = new bool[obstaclesMapWidth*obstaclesMapHeight];
memset(obstaclesMap, 0, (obstaclesMapWidth*obstaclesMapHeight));
for (int tileX = 0; tileX < mapSize.width; tileX++) {
for (int tileY = 0; tileY < mapSize.height; tileY++) {
const int tileGid = metaLayer->getTileGIDAt(Vec2(tileX, tileY));
const Value prop = mapNode->getPropertiesForGID(tileGid);
if (prop.isNull()) {
continue;
}
const ValueMap vm = prop.asValueMap();
const auto frez = vm.find("MetaCode");
if (frez == vm.end()) {
continue;
}
const int metaCode = frez->second.asInt();
switch (metaCode) {
case MMC_OBSTACLE:
obstaclesMap[obstaclesMapWidth*(obstaclesMapHeight - tileY - 1) + tileX] = true;
break;
case MMC_MAGE_START:
mageStartX = tileX;
mageStartY = mapSize.height - tileY - 1;
break;
case MMC_KNIGHT_START:
knightStartX = tileX;
knightStartY = mapSize.height - tileY - 1;
currentKnightX = knightStartX;
currentKnightY = knightStartY;
break;
// Note there is no suitable default action here
// default:
}
}
}
metaLayer->setVisible(false);
return true;
}
Here we use getLayer
to get the layer and then loop over its tiles. For each tile we try to get the “MetaCode” value (if there is any). Depending on the code value it can be either starting point (for mage or knight) or an obstacle.
Tiled uses coordinate system different from Cocos2d-x. The (0,0) appears in the top left corner of the map, and Y grows from top to bottom. That’s why we should convert Y coordinate values with something like knightStartY = mapSize.height - tileY - 1;
.
So, we can create a map like this:
And that’s how it will appear in the game:
Here meta tileset numbers are used to mark starting points for mage and knight and crosses mark tiles prohibited for walking. Knight moves one tile right, then checks if next move possible. You can see the whole code of the scene in the repo.
I should mention the Tiled is not the only possible level editor. There are some more. Also, you can always try to create one by yourself (or at least try).

Base Correlation loss model; interpolation is performed by portfolio (live) amount percentage.

- For bespoke base correlation see:
- Base Correlation Mapping in Lehman Brothers' Quantitative Credit Research Quarterly; Volume 2007-Q1
- You can explore typical postcrisis data by perusing some of the JPMorgan Global Correlation Daily Analytics
- Here the crisis model problems of ability to price stressed portfolios or tranches over the maximum loss are the responsibility of the base models. Users should select their models according to this; choosing the copula or a random loss given default base model (or more exotic ones).
- Notice this is different to a bespoke base correlation loss (bespoke here refering to basket composition, not just attachment levels) ; where loss interpolation is on the expected loss value to match the two baskets. Therefore the correlation surface should refer to the same basket intended to be priced. But this is left to the user and is not implemented in the correlation surface (yet...)

Scenario
Over a period of time a patient medical information keeps on adding to the PMD. The entire medical history would be the cumulation of all the diagnosis or observation done on the patient. The doctor needs a entire history of a patient medical history.
Operation
The PMD document contains a node called component which holds information about a patient's visit. Additional nodes are added for subsequent visits. Hence to get the complete information we need to loop through the nodes. For example a patient who visited the provider 10 times will have 10 component nodes.
The FLWOR expression helps to iterate over a sequence and bind the values to intermediate results. The FLWOR expression s are useful when two XML column or documents are joined.
Solution
The following Xquery explains the FLWOR expression where a patient's entire medical history is fetched as a single XML document by iterating through his medical history where the date of consultancy filters the particular date when the patient consulted.
The queries on the right hand side shows few basic XQuery features. The results are displayed in separate tabs.

BLUE VELVET A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 1998
Some times in 1990 I stumbled on some Bosnian weekly magazine which featured the article about the best and most influential movies of 1980s. The article was based on the Top 10 poll conducted among the young film critics of former Yugoslavia. I was more than pleasantly surprised to see two entries - movies that I happen to adore and consider very special, unlike most of the audience, which forgot them, or mainstream critics who rejected them because of the content or some other petty controversies. One of those two masterpieces was CONAN THE BARBARIAN, 1981 fantasy epic by John Millius. The other one was BLUE VELVET, dark, disturbing thriller made in 1986 by David Lynch.
At the time, Lynch was hardly known outside the critics' circles, mostly because of his "artsy" reputation, brought by ERASERHEAD, his extremely disturbing debut feature that later developed a cult following among alternative cinema aficionados. His reputation of director who likes disturbing content and revolting images was strengthen by his first two mainstream movies - THE ELEPHANT MAN and DUNE. The latter one turned out to be commercial disaster, and the jury is still out whether because of Lynch's unconventional style, or meddling producers. One of those producers, de Laurentiis, should be forgiven for that transgression, because two years later he atoned to the movie lovers community by giving Lynch another chance. It was more than that - the chance was used by Lynch who made BLUE VELVET, very personal film that proved not only the best in his opus but also one of the best movies of the decade. BLUE VELVET, unfortunately, didn't became popular by itself - Lynch had to make his ground-breaking TV series TWIN PEAKS first; he became a household name, attractive enough for general audience, and thus brought attention on his earlier work.
It isn't surprising that those who had enjoyed TWIN PEAKS have the same feelings about BLUE VELVET. The movie and the TV series have a lot in common, but most noticeable of common elements is a subject - small all-American town that hides some sinister secrets. The plot of the movie begins in Lumberton, small town inhabited almost exclusively by middle-class people who live in suburban idyll.  While returning from one of such visits, he finds a severed human ear in a field. He picks it up and brings it to Detective Williams (George Dickerson), his close neighbour. Detective is very grateful for that find, but, being the by-the-book policeman, declines to satisfy Jeffrey's growing curiosity by providing information about investigation. Sandy (Laura Dern), Detective's young and attractive daughter, seems to be more helpful by giving some hints to Jeffrey. Those hints mostly concern Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rosselini), beautiful and mysterious bar singer who lives on the wrong side of tracks. Armed with that knowledge, Jeffrey decides to begin investigation of his own and devises daring plan to sneak into singer's apartment and observe. However, that plan misfires, because Dorothy discovers Jeffrey hiding in her closet and takes him at knife-point. Scared, embarrassed but also aroused, Jeffrey is suddenly forced to hide again, because Dorothy gets another visitor.  Despite the shock, and against Sandy's better judgement, Jeffrey decides to investigate further, bringing his own life and life of his dearest in danger.
One of the reasons why BLUE VELVET seems to be so appealing to so many people - at least those who are way behind their teen years - is the fact that it takes some very universal subject - loss of innocence. But such subject is here explored in a very personal story, with a lot of autobiographical elements. Even the title seems to be very symbolic - borrowed from a song by Bobby Vinton, that used to be huge hit in 1963. That very year symbolised the loss of innocence for entire generation, especially Americans who had to experience the trauma of JFK assassination. That event and that year symbolised the fading away of the idealised, idyllic America embodied in small towns and white fences, that we see in beginning of the movie; it was replaced by dark, violent world of depravity, confusion, violence and corruption of Vietnam and Watergate. Lynch as an artist probably didn't care much about trials and tribulations of those times - but his personal confusion and painful transition to maturity corresponded with similar, although more collective experiences of other people who used to live in those times. However, in order to make movie as personal as possible, Lynch deliberately decided to be ambiguous about time period. That was acquired with a very detailed work of production designers Patricia Norris and costume designer Gloria Laughride - apart from hairstyles, this movie could have taken place in early 1960s without anyone noticing it.
No matter how meticulous, the work on the production design and costumes was second in importance to the work of Frederick Elmes, photographer who had much more important task - of expressing Lynch's own obsessions through the precise use of lighting and colour. Most of the photography was good, especially in the scenes that used to shock some critics with its explicit and mercilessly precise depiction of violence and utter depravity. World, or to be more precise, underworld of BLUE VELVET is dark, sinister place, but also a place where extremely bad and unpleasant things (unlike in cheap horrors) do come to light. It is an also world of sharp contrasts - between childlike innocence and violent depravity; boringly law-abiding citizens and interesting, but deadly villains; people who know the difference between right and wrong and those who get themselves lost; angels and demons; Madonnas and whores.
Despite those sharp contrasts, BLUE VELVET has characters who defy single- dimensional moral alignment. Jeffrey Beaumont, author's alter ego is played by Kyle MacLachlan, actor who made his character some kind of a prequel to his Agent Cooper personality in TWIN PEAKS. This young man wants to do the right thing, but at the same time he is curious, and that curiosity leads him not only to personal danger, but to the danger of losing his own moral compass. His motives might look noble from the outside, but from the inside they aren't so certain - idea to "sneak, hide and observe" could be explain by prosaic voyeurism (and Lynch himself hinted that in one of his interviews), and later with his obvious sexual attraction to Dorothy. Dorothy, played by Isabella Rosselini in the best known role of her entire acting career, is a woman whose character is something more than a simple victim - she is violated in an almost unimaginable way. That is symbolised in one of the shots in the final part of movie, when her nude body, that should have been attractive in any other context, actually becomes unbearable to watch. (That very sequence later enraged some critics who accused Lynch for downright sadism towards her female lead). Her own actions and feelings towards Jeffrey, that might look like a product of deranged mind on the road of depravity, are actually desperate attempt to find some sense, even in utter despair and evil. Dorothy's opposite is Sandy, young, blond, clean all-American girl, whose role in this movie is to be the voice of reason and the only link to the "normal" world for Jeffrey. But, her own motives are also unclear - she too seem to be thrilled by their investigation, and Jeffrey would never entered into adventure without her interference. Laura Dern, who plays Sandy, is very good in one of her first major roles. Her interaction with MacLachlan is simply unbelievably realistic; since the first time two of them meet, we are sure that they would end as couple.
Such great movie also requires a great villain. That role was given to Dennis Hopper, veteran actor and director who became his great renaissance as character actor in mid 1980s, mostly due films like BLUE VELVET. If there was an example of role tailor- made for certain actor, Frank Booth is one of them. Hopper played him with such intensity that he managed to outshine almost anything in his career. From the moment he enters picture, we are certain that he means bad news - his menacing look, intensive use of vulgar vocabulary and, finally, outbursts of irrational violence. However, such evil attracts other evil - Frank has group of trusted henchmen, played by Lynch's own trusted merry men - actors like Brad Dourif and late Jack Nance. Role of Frank was so associated with Hopper himself, that he tried to find excuses for the character of Frank in some interviews, citing his love for Dorothy as a cause for all twists in the movie.
BLUE VELVET was a more than good or very good film, it was an excellent film. Unfortunately, single element kept it from the top and deprived it of the cinematic perfection. That was the score of Angelo Badalamenti, Lynch's semi-official composer. Although good per se, the sentimental Badalamenti's themes were silenced by more popular and catchy songs of Bobby Vinton and Roy Orbison. But, despite that almost unnoticeable flaw, BLUE VELVET still remains the movie that deserves to be adored and re-watched, same as masterpieces that actually reached the perfection.

GOSPEL Matthew 9:18-26
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew
At that time: While Jesus was speaking, behold, a
ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died;
but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live." And Jesus rose and
followed him, with his disciples. And behold, a woman who had suffered from a haemorrhage
for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment; for
she said to herself, "If I only touch his
garment, I shall be made well." Jesus turned, and seeing her he said,
"Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly
the woman was made well. And when Jesus came to the ruler's house, and saw the
flute players, and the crowd making a tumult, he said, "Depart; for the
girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. But when the
crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl
arose. And the report of this went through all that
district.

Government services are assessed against these 18 criteria. Find out more
The criteria:
-
Start with user needs
Use research to develop a deep knowledge of who the service users are and what that means for the design of the service. -
Create a research plan
Plan for ongoing user research and usability testing so you can continuously improve the service. -
Create a multidisciplinary team
You have a team that can design, build and operate the service, led by a skilled, senior service manager with decision-making responsibility. -
Be agile and user-centred
Develop the service using an agile, iterative and user-centred methodology. -
Make continuous improvements
Make sure you have the capacity, resources and technical flexibility to iterate and improve your service on a regular basis. -
Evaluate the technology choices
Evaluated the tools and systems that will be used to build, host, operate and measure the service, and how to procure them. -
Evaluate security and privacy risks
Evaluate the user data that the service provides or stores and address any associated security, legal and privacy issues and risks. Consult with experts where appropriate. -
Make things open
Make all new source code open and reusable, and publish it under appropriate licences. Provide a convincing explanation in cases where this can't be done. -
Use open standards and platforms
Use open standards and common government platforms where available. -
Test end-to-end
Test the service end-to-end in an environment identical to the live version, including on all common browsers and devices, and using dummy accounts and a representative sample of users. -
Plan for downtime
Make a plan for the event of the digital service being taken temporarily offline. -
Make it usable
Create a service that is simple and intuitive enough that users succeed first time. -
Make it consistent
Build a service consistent with the user experience of the rest of GOV.UK including using the design patterns and style guide. -
Encourage channel shift
Encourage all users to use the digital service (with assisted digital support if required), alongside an appropriate plan to phase out non-digital channels/services. -
Measure performance
Use tools for analysis that collect performance data. Use this data to analyse the success of the service and to translate this into features and tasks for the next phase of development. -
Establish KPI benchmarks
Identify performance indicators for the service, including the 4 mandatory key performance indicators (KPIs) defined in the manual. Establish a benchmark for each metric and make a plan to enable improvements. -
Publish performance data
Report performance data on the Performance Platform. -
Test with the minister
Test the service from beginning to end with the minister responsible for it.
