Hi again! My name is Andres Liu, and I am a Full-stack Web Developer. I have a diverse set of skills, such as HTML, CSS, Javascript, React, Angular and NodeJS, and some iOS developing too using Xcode and Swift. I'm proactive, self-taught and a quick learner and have the key soft skills needed to succeed: great communication, excellent teamwork and an outstanding leadership.


Let’s start by creating a simple spreadsheet using Python and the XlsxWriter module.
Say that we have some data on monthly outgoings that we want to convert into an Excel XLSX file:
expenses = (
['Rent', 1000],
['Gas', 100],
['Food', 300],
['Gym', 50],
)
To do that we can start with a small program like the following:
from xlsxwriter.workbook import Workbook
# Create a workbook and add a worksheet.
workbook = Workbook('Expenses01.xlsx')
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()
# Some data we want to write to the worksheet.
expenses = (
['Rent', 1000],
['Gas', 100],
['Food', 300],
['Gym', 50],
)
# Start from the first cell. Rows and columns are zero indexed.
row = 0
col = 0
# Iterate over the data and write it out row by row.
for item, cost in (expenses):
worksheet.write(row, col, item)
worksheet.write(row, col + 1, cost)
row += 1
# Write a total using a formula.
worksheet.write(row, 0, 'Total')
worksheet.write(row, 1, '=SUM(B1:B4)')
workbook.close()
If we run this program we should get a spreadsheet that looks like this:
This is a simple example but the steps involved are representative of all programs that use XlsxWriter, so let’s break it down into separate parts.
The first step is to import the module and the main method that we will call:
from xlsxwriter.workbook import Workbook
The next step is to create a new workbook object using the Workbook() constructor.
Workbook() takes one, non-optional, argument which is the filename that we want to create:
workbook = Workbook('Expenses01.xlsx')
Note
XlsxWriter can only create new files. It cannot read or modify existing files.
The workbook object is then used to add a new worksheet via the add_worksheet() method:
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()
By default worksheet names in the spreadsheet will be Sheet1, Sheet2 etc., but we can also specify a name:
worksheet1 = workbook.add_worksheet() # Defaults to Sheet1.
worksheet2 = workbook.add_worksheet('Data') # Data.
worksheet3 = workbook.add_worksheet() # Defaults to Sheet3.
We can then use the worksheet object to write data via the write() method:
worksheet.write(row, col, some_data)
Note
Throughout XlsxWriter, rows and columns are zero indexed. The first cell in a worksheet, A1, is (0, 0).
So in our example we iterate over our data and write it out as follows:
# Iterate over the data and write it out row by row.
for item, cost in (expenses):
worksheet.write(row, col, item)
worksheet.write(row, col + 1, cost)
row += 1
We then add a formula to calculate the total of the items in the second column:
worksheet.write(row, 1, '=SUM(B1:B4)')
Finally, we close the Excel file via the close() method:
workbook.close()
Like most file objects in Python an XlsxWriter file is closed implicitly when it goes out of scope or is no longer referenced in the program. As such this line is generally optional unless you need to close the file explicitly.
And that’s it. We now have a file that can be read by Excel and other spreadsheet applications.
In the next sections we will see how we can use the XlsxWriter module to add formatting and other Excel features.

Asda deliveryman saved newborn baby from house fire then finished his round
A supermarket worker has been hailed a hero after he stepped in to rescue a baby from a house fire.
Habeel Khan, 26, was on his rounds in Nottingham for Asda when he saw smoke billowing out of a house.
He pulled up and saw a woman screaming that her baby was still in the house.
Without a second thought he ran into the home to get the seven-week-old baby.
Habeel, who has been named colleague of the year, said: ‘It was a just a normal day at work for me. I was doing my deliveries in the Stapleford area and when I pulled up and looked over to where the customer’s house was I saw loads of smoke just gushing out of a house.
‘My natural instinct was to just run across to the house. I could see loads of smoke and lots of people panicking outside.

‘I shouted “is everyone out of the house?” and that’s when a woman with two young children shouted “my baby; my baby’s still in the house”.
‘I don’t think she had realised until then and then she ran back into the house and I went with her.
‘She managed to pick up the baby from a room next to the kitchen where the fire had started, then we ran out.’
He stayed with the family until firefighters and paramedics arrived then went on with his rounds.
Speaking about his accolade from the Being Asda Awards 2019 he said: ‘I didn’t really think anything of it – I just thought I’d helped out, and had done a little good deed.
‘I don’t think I have done anything heroic at all to be honest. Thankfully everyone was okay in the end and the family are back in the house.’
Habeel’s manager Peter Smith said: ‘We know him as Smiler. He is always happy.
‘He is always doing the right thing by the customer. He is an absolute asset to the team and a credit to the company.’
Co-worker Claire Wilkes said: ‘Habeel doesn’t think he is a hero, but we certainly do – he’s amazing.’
Bernie Drummond added: ‘Habeel’s just great and everyone loves him here. He’s just our Habeel, our hero.’

Asda’s senior vice president of operations Anthony Hemmerdinger said: ‘What Habeel did was remarkable and it’s not something we would recommend that our colleagues do, however it’s clear that in this instance his instinct kicked in and he did a remarkable job.’

Windows Vista Security - Better than Linux?
After reading a nice article written by Jeff
Jones, a security researcher for
Microsoft. He says he isn’t
biased, saying he
worked over 75% of his career outside Microsoft, using Slackware Linux,
Unix, HP Unix etc. He claims Windows Vista has less security holes than
popular versions of Linux, such as Ubuntu (he also compares Red Hat,
Novell, Mac OS X). First let me say why his facts are distorted, and why
he knows his facts are distorted. His facts do raise an issue of slow
patching of vulnerabilities across the software Industry, but Linux
performs the best consistently because anyone can audit the code. Here’s
why his comparisons are uneven:
- Linux is open source, so various tools can be used to find
vulnerabilities. We don’t have this luxury with Windows, any holes
found are needles in a haystack, but the target of the Windows
monopoly allows greater incentive to find these needles
- Linux has used SUDO and ROOT users properly since its inception
(Think of Administrator in Windows). Anyone who is not a root user
on Linux cannot install programs, make system wide changes, and you
can even stop them from using USB keys, CD Drives etc if you are
paranoid. Now this has received much attention, Vista has
retroactively inserted this kind of security, but by my experience,
it is very obtrusive, and can be switched off. Root in Linux is alot
harder to stop, and theres no graphical way to do it, so the average
user won’t.
- A link to my second point above, Programs in Linux can only access
what they need to, the home folder of the user that is running it
and very little else. I don’t know what the case is in Vista, but in
Windows XP, almost any program could destroy your system, by picking
at the much famed registry.
He provides pretty graphs, let me provide my
own:
(click on Graphs to Enlarge)
As you can see, Ubuntu Linux 7.04 (released April) compares
comparatively better to Vista, available since January. The Graphs are
provided by Secunia, an independent security research firm. Microsoft
often downplays vulnerabilities other companies like Secunia find, which
is also a factor that Jeff Jones did not mention (maybe he forgot?). I
forget where this famous quote comes from but I have paraphrased: “You
cannot depend on a man understanding a problem if his salary depends on
him not understanding it”, which I think affects Mr. Jeff Jones.


Below there are several examples of forms and customisations, some of which are linked to from other parts of the documentation.


Apache SensSoft is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Here is my Professional Summary. Please feel free to contact me using the form:


The Flash export buttons provide an option for legacy browsers (IE9-) to create and save files on the client-side, without any server interaction required.
The HTML5 button types are preferred over the Flash buttons as they do not require Adobe Flash and are generally more configurable, however, not all browsers provide the functionality required for those buttons.
If making use of these buttons in browsers which do not have Flash installed and enabled these buttons will not appear on the end user's page (no errors will be generated).
The examples in this section explore the options available for the Flash export buttons.


Getting Started
Welcome to DiscreteCrypt.js!
First, I feel like we need to clarify what the term "Contact" means in DiscreteCrypt. It is an object-oriented abstraction of public key cryptography, to make it easier to think about the flow of data.
You can create a personal contact (private key), or you can receive other people's contacts (public keys).
Creating an Ephemeral Contact
Let's start by creating an ephemeral contact.
This is a type of contact that is not meant to be recovered, and is good for one-off sessions.
let me = DiscreteCrypt.Contact.create()
me.export().then(contact =>
{
// send the "contact" variable to someone else, over Ajax or websocket.
})
Importing Someone's Contact
Here is how one should import an exported contact.
let you = DiscreteCrypt.Contact.import(receivedContact)
Encrypting Data for a Contact
Let's encrypt data for someone's contact. This uses asymmetric cryptography to ensure only the intended recipient can open the message.
me.send(you, "Hey, this is a secret message").then(encrypted =>
{
// send the "encrypted" variable over ajax or websocket
})
You are not limited to strings. You can send any other JSON-serializable type using DiscreteCrypt.js (like Numbers, Booleans, Arrays, Objects)
Opening Encrypted Data
To open received data, just do the following:
me.open(dataFromYou).then(data =>
{
// Hey! we decrypted this and got the data back :)
console.log(data)
}).catch(err =>
{
// Oh no! It didn't decrypt properly.
console.error(err)
})
Creating a Long-Term Contact
Now we're getting into PGP/GPG territory. This is a contact that you intend to use over a longer period of time, and not just for a one-off chat session with someone.
To do this, all you need to do is pass in a key in the "Create" method.
// the key doesn't have to be a string. You can actually use any Uint8Array or Buffer-like structure.
let me = DiscreteCrypt.Contact.create("SuperSecurePassword")
To store it, you'll need to export it (which you need to do anyway for other people to "contact" you).
me.export().then(contact =>
{
// store contact somewhere, in a database or in a json file or something.
})
Then you can load it back in by importing it and executing the "compute" method, restoring your "personal"/private access.
// me_stored is your exported contact loaded in from a file
let me = DiscreteCrypt.Contact.import(me_stored).compute("SuperSecurePassword")
In crypto-terms: This allows you to easily recover your private key from your public key. This is only possible because your private key is derived using scrypt (which makes brute-force exceptionally difficult).
These long-term contacts can be used for a variety of things, like securing communication of nodes in a cloud cluster, or allowing you to create a really modern end-to-end encrypted chat app.
Symmetric
You can also use DiscreteCrypt.js to encrypt data symmetrically. This can be done in two ways:
Using Contacts
You could in theory send data to your own contact.
// creates a long term contact to store
let me = DiscreteCrypt.Contact.Create('some pass')
me.export().then(contact_to_store =>
{
// store it somewhere
})
me.send(me, { a: 'Secret Data' }).then(encrypted =>
{
// encrypted data only your contact file can open
})
Using Symmetric Utilities
By removing the key exchange steps of the DiscreteCrypt protocol, the scheme can be simplified to a convenient symmetric authenticated encryption scheme.
Encrypt
To encrypt:
DiscreteCrypt.Symmetric.encrypt('password', data).then(encrypted_data =>
{
// do something with the encrypted data, like store it
})
Decrypt
And decrypting is very similar:
DiscreteCrypt.Symmetric.decrypt('password', encrypted_data).then(decrypted_data =>
{
// do something with the decrypted data,
console.log(decrypted_data)
})
Signatures
Some might want to be able to use their contacts to "sign" data. Here's how:
Signing
Here is how to sign data:
// assuming "me" is a contact
me.sign(data).then(sig =>
{
// <code to send the signature somewhere>
})
Verifying
me.verify(sig, data).then(data =>
{
// the data verified against is passed to then
}).catch(err =>
{
// rejects if not verified
})
Signature Bundling
You are also able to bundle in the source data with the signature itself. This might be useful if you plan to release the data along with the signature anyway.
Signing
me.sign(data, true).then(sig =>
{
// the data is bundled in with the signature.
// <code to send the bundled signature somewhere>
})
Verifying
me.verify(sig).then(data =>
{
// returns the data that was verified by the signature
}).catch(err =>
{
})
Advanced
Tuning Scrypt Performance
DiscreteCrypt's various functions will allow you to manually tune their performance based on security thresholds you feel comfortable with.
By default, DiscreteCrypt is tuned to its strictest security parameters (though DiscreteCrypt automatically optimizes the performance of ephemeral contacts). These parameters are tuned in an attempt to guarantee their lifetimes will outlast your own.
We offer three sane defaults for Scrypt Parameters:
| Type | Method | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Default | DiscreteCrypt.defaults.scrypt() |
Strict. Makes it extremely difficult to bruteforce the key-space. Should protect passwords rated at least 40-48 bits in zxcvbn. (Decent Performance) |
| Tuned | DiscreteCrypt.defaults.tunedScrypt() |
Makes it difficult to bruteforce the key-space. Should protect passwords rated at least 60 bits in zxcvbn. (Great Performance) |
| Ephemeral | DiscreteCrypt.defaults.ephemeralScrypt() |
Used for contacts where you can either guarantee that the key will have quite a bit of entropy, or will be completely random. (Best Performance) |
Keep in mind that the tuning for Ephemeral is above what GPG was using as its key derivation algorithm by default until quite recently.
Example Calls:
// create fully random key manually, rather than letting DiscreteCrypt do it.
let key = crypto.randomBytes(32)
let me = DiscreteCrypt.Contact.create(key, null, DiscreteCrypt.defaults.ephemeralScrypt())
DiscreteCrypt.Symmetric.encrypt('Some really long and secure password', { organization: 1, txt: 'Hello' }, DiscreteCrypt.defaults.tunedScrypt())
Upcoming
Alternative Formats
The current format is based mostly on hexadecimal values stored as JSON. This is not optimal.
I will be implementing binary (and base64) formats that will improve the space efficiency of the data produced by DiscreteCrypt.js.
DiscreteCrypt (C++) Compatibility
This is not the first iteration of DiscreteCrypt, there is a C++ tool that is much more powerful, but much more difficult to use.
Once I improve the C++ implementation, I aim to make the C++ version capable of interacting with the JS version, and vice versa.
Multi-Recipient Encryption
The DiscreteCrypt protocol was designed to allow for multi-recipient encryption, support for this is planned in DiscreteCrypt.js
Multi-Signatures
DiscreteCrypt.js implements Schnorr's algorithm, which allows for space-efficient multi-party signatures.
This will be supported in later versions of the library.
Proof-Of-Work
I will eventually implement a proof-of-work utility, just to make it easier to implement your security.

| OBJDUMP(1) | GNU Development Tools | OBJDUMP(1) |
objfile... are the object files to be examined. When you specify archives, objdump shows information on each of the member object files.
For example,
objdump -b oasys -m vax -h fu.o
displays summary information from the section headers (-h) of fu.o, which is explicitly identified (-m) as a VAX object file in the format produced by Oasys compilers. You can list the formats available with the -i option.
The default is for this limit to be enabled, but disabling it may be necessary in order to demangle truly complicated names. Note however that if the recursion limit is disabled then stack exhaustion is possible and any bug reports about such an event will be rejected.
Note if the --dwarf=follow-links option has also been enabled then any symbol tables in linked debug info files will be read in and used when disassembling.
This option also has a subtle effect on the disassembly of instructions in code sections. When option -d is in effect objdump will assume that any symbols present in a code section occur on the boundary between instructions and it will refuse to disassemble across such a boundary. When option -D is in effect however this assumption is supressed. This means that it is possible for the output of -d and -D to differ if, for example, data is stored in code sections.
If the target is an ARM architecture this switch also has the effect of forcing the disassembler to decode pieces of data found in code sections as if they were instructions.
Note if the --dwarf=follow-links option has also been enabled then any symbol tables in linked debug info files will be read in and used when disassembling.
File segments may be relocated to nonstandard addresses, for example by using the -Ttext, -Tdata, or -Tbss options to ld. However, some object file formats, such as a.out, do not store the starting address of the file segments. In those situations, although ld relocates the sections correctly, using objdump -h to list the file section headers cannot show the correct addresses. Instead, it shows the usual addresses, which are implicit for the target.
Note, in some cases it is possible for a section to have both the READONLY and the NOREAD attributes set. In such cases the NOREAD attribute takes precedence, but objdump will report both since the exact setting of the flag bits might be important.
If the target is an ARM architecture then this switch has an additional effect. It restricts the disassembly to only those instructions supported by the architecture specified by machine. If it is necessary to use this switch because the input file does not contain any architecture information, but it is also desired to disassemble all the instructions use -marm.
For ARC, dsp controls the printing of DSP instructions, spfp selects the printing of FPX single precision FP instructions, dpfp selects the printing of FPX double precision FP instructions, quarkse_em selects the printing of special QuarkSE-EM instructions, fpuda selects the printing of double precision assist instructions, fpus selects the printing of FPU single precision FP instructions, while fpud selects the printing of FPU double precision FP instructions. Additionally, one can choose to have all the immediates printed in hexadecimal using hex. By default, the short immediates are printed using the decimal representation, while the long immediate values are printed as hexadecimal.
cpu=... allows to enforce a particular ISA when disassembling instructions, overriding the -m value or whatever is in the ELF file. This might be useful to select ARC EM or HS ISA, because architecture is same for those and disassembler relies on private ELF header data to decide if code is for EM or HS. This option might be specified multiple times - only the latest value will be used. Valid values are same as for the assembler -mcpu=... option.
If the target is an ARM architecture then this switch can be used to select which register name set is used during disassembler. Specifying -M reg-names-std (the default) will select the register names as used in ARM's instruction set documentation, but with register 13 called 'sp', register 14 called 'lr' and register 15 called 'pc'. Specifying -M reg-names-apcs will select the name set used by the ARM Procedure Call Standard, whilst specifying -M reg-names-raw will just use r followed by the register number.
There are also two variants on the APCS register naming scheme enabled by -M reg-names-atpcs and -M reg-names-special-atpcs which use the ARM/Thumb Procedure Call Standard naming conventions. (Either with the normal register names or the special register names).
This option can also be used for ARM architectures to force the disassembler to interpret all instructions as Thumb instructions by using the switch --disassembler-options=force-thumb. This can be useful when attempting to disassemble thumb code produced by other compilers.
For AArch64 targets this switch can be used to set whether instructions are disassembled as the most general instruction using the -M no-aliases option or whether instruction notes should be generated as comments in the disasssembly using -M notes.
For the x86, some of the options duplicate functions of the -m switch, but allow finer grained control. Multiple selections from the following may be specified as a comma separated string.
For PowerPC, the -M argument raw selects disasssembly of hardware insns rather than aliases. For example, you will see "rlwinm" rather than "clrlwi", and "addi" rather than "li". All of the -m arguments for gas that select a CPU are supported. These are: 403, 405, 440, 464, 476, 601, 603, 604, 620, 7400, 7410, 7450, 7455, 750cl, 821, 850, 860, a2, booke, booke32, cell, com, e200z4, e300, e500, e500mc, e500mc64, e500x2, e5500, e6500, efs, power4, power5, power6, power7, power8, power9, ppc, ppc32, ppc64, ppc64bridge, ppcps, pwr, pwr2, pwr4, pwr5, pwr5x, pwr6, pwr7, pwr8, pwr9, pwrx, titan, and vle. 32 and 64 modify the default or a prior CPU selection, disabling and enabling 64-bit insns respectively. In addition, altivec, any, htm, vsx, and spe add capabilities to a previous or later CPU selection. any will disassemble any opcode known to binutils, but in cases where an opcode has two different meanings or different arguments, you may not see the disassembly you expect. If you disassemble without giving a CPU selection, a default will be chosen from information gleaned by BFD from the object files headers, but the result again may not be as you expect.
For MIPS, this option controls the printing of instruction mnemonic names and register names in disassembled instructions. Multiple selections from the following may be specified as a comma separated string, and invalid options are ignored:
For any of the options listed above, ABI or ARCH may be specified as numeric to have numbers printed rather than names, for the selected types of registers. You can list the available values of ABI and ARCH using the --help option.
For VAX, you can specify function entry addresses with -M entry:0xf00ba. You can use this multiple times to properly disassemble VAX binary files that don't contain symbol tables (like ROM dumps). In these cases, the function entry mask would otherwise be decoded as VAX instructions, which would probably lead the rest of the function being wrongly disassembled.
For XCOFF, the available options are:
Not all object formats support this option. In particular the ELF format does not use it.
If it is necessary to disable the visualize-jumps option after it has previously been enabled then use visualize-jumps=off.
In addition, when displaying DWARF attributes, if a form is found that references the separate debug info file, then the referenced contents will also be displayed.
Note: displaying the contents of .debug_static_funcs, .debug_static_vars and debug_weaknames sections is not currently supported.
With a non-zero value for n, DIEs at or deeper than n levels will not be printed. The range for n is zero-based.
If specified, this option will suppress printing of any header information and all DIEs before the DIE numbered n. Only siblings and children of the specified DIE will be printed.
This can be used in conjunction with --dwarf-depth.
[ 4](sec 3)(fl 0x00)(ty 0)(scl 3) (nx 1) 0x00000000 .bss [ 6](sec 1)(fl 0x00)(ty 0)(scl 2) (nx 0) 0x00000000 fred
where the number inside the square brackets is the number of the entry in the symbol table, the sec number is the section number, the fl value are the symbol's flag bits, the ty number is the symbol's type, the scl number is the symbol's storage class and the nx value is the number of auxilary entries associated with the symbol. The last two fields are the symbol's value and its name.
The other common output format, usually seen with ELF based files, looks like this:
00000000 l d .bss 00000000 .bss 00000000 g .text 00000000 fred
Here the first number is the symbol's value (sometimes refered to as its address). The next field is actually a set of characters and spaces indicating the flag bits that are set on the symbol. These characters are described below. Next is the section with which the symbol is associated or *ABS* if the section is absolute (ie not connected with any section), or *UND* if the section is referenced in the file being dumped, but not defined there.
After the section name comes another field, a number, which for common symbols is the alignment and for other symbol is the size. Finally the symbol's name is displayed.
The flag characters are divided into 7 groups as follows:
The output format is similar to that produced by the --syms option, except that an extra field is inserted before the symbol's name, giving the version information associated with the symbol. If the version is the default version to be used when resolving unversioned references to the symbol then it's displayed as is, otherwise it's put into parentheses.
Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash. The file may itself contain additional @file options; any such options will be processed recursively.

Investigative Reporters and Editors is pleased to announce the next phase in our ongoing Census project, designed to provide journalists with a simpler way to access 2010 Census data so they can spend less time importing and managing the data and more time exploring and reporting the data. The project is the result of work by journalists from the The Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, USA Today, CNN, the Spokesman-Review (Spokane, Wash.) and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, funded through generous support from the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism.

DANGEROUS BEAUTY A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1998 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): **
As the wealthy, but illiterate, assembled wives stare in disbelief, Veronica Franco, the highly educated courtesan, uses Latin to discuss the common fruit she holds in her hand and then performs an erotic act with it that challenges the laws of physics. The stunningly beautiful Catherine McCormack, the female lead in BRAVEHEART, plays the poetry-spewing prostitute.
Welcome to the city-state of Venice in the late 1500s. The opening credits of DANGEROUS BEAUTY, thankfully, say the story is true -- it's based on Margaret Rosenthal's biography "The Honest Courtesan." Were it not true, as it claims to be so, the frequently ridiculous, silly plot would have had the audiences laughing at all the wrong places.
We learn, for example, that most women of that era, with the exception of courtesans, were not able to read. It seems the courtesans were the only females permitted in the libraries because they needed the knowledge to advise their clients in more matters than just sex. For those of you who have trouble suspending disbelief in movies, this film may short-circuit your brain.
Jeannine Dominy's screenplay adaptation takes a modern language approach, laced with poetry, that might be termed Shakespeare-lite, so there are ample opportunities to ridicule the picture if you are so inclined.
But don't get me wrong, as filmed in a romantic haze by Bojan Bazelli and as sumptuously decorated by Norman Garwood, the production dazzles the eyes at every turn. When the boy king of France comes to visit, the royal barge is gorgeous coming down the canal. Even more dazzling and bizarre is the film's opening. Gondolas take every courtesan in the city through the waterways as the city's adoring males burst out in hoots, calls and poetry. The women, lapping it up, respond by flashing bare breasts back at them. (This much nudity so early in a picture is not a good sign.)
Jacqueline Bisset, cast against type, plays Veronica's mother, Paola. The script likes to include advice, witty and bawdy. When Veronica asks her mother about marriage, her mother chides her that, "Marriage is a contract, Veronica, not a constant tryst." (The courtesan's life is just the opposite, as Veronica will soon find out.)
Veronica's old friend Marco Venier (Rufus Sewell) returns after a long absence to find that she has developed into a great beauty. He uses come-on lines that include, "God made sin that we might know his mercy." They love each other, but his father, played in a tiny part by Jeroen Krabbe, lectures Marco that he cannot marry beneath his position.
Veronica's resourceful mother has just the right solution, she should take up a trade. Since she can't marry her beloved, she can become a courtesan and bed him anyway. In shock, Veronica learns that her mother had been a courtesan herself. Some of the show's better scenes have Jacqueline Bisset instructing her daughter in the ways of the flesh using vegetables and a nude male model who looks like he is posing for a great artist. The movie has the potential to become a camp classic.
Although the costumes look authentic, especially the ridiculous eight-inch platform shoes that the courtesans wear, the simple make-up looks exactly like what you see on the street today.
Veronica not only becomes a courtesan, she is an instant hit. Her dance card, as it were, becomes fully booked overnight.  Veronica quickly turns into a literary success as well. She has a book published of her poetry and engages the men in duels of poetry, sometimes lewd but more often not. In a big showdown with her old friend Maffio, played with style by Oliver Platt, they battle with words and swords.
As absurd as it is at times, the movie, directed by Marshall Herskovitz from the TV series "My So-Called Life," can be quite cute. And with its full plate of romance, jealousy, humor, titillation and even a bit of pathos, it tries to please everyone. The light-hearted show quickly turns dark at the last with the arrival of the Holy Inquisition.
Although parts of the picture are enjoyable, the characters never rise above playacting. Like some ribald tale from the Playboy Channel but with most of the sex scenes edited out, the movie is never sure what it wants to be. It's certainly not soft porn, but neither is it is very substantial.
DANGEROUS BEAUTY runs 1:41. It is rated R for nudity, sex and profanity and would be acceptable for teenagers if they are both older and mature.

Having three checkers on your opponent’s ace-point is not a good idea but here that would temporary and so bar/24, 23/18, securing White’s bar-point, is fine.
Interestingly, bar/20,24/23 is much better than bar/20, 23/22 precisely because it moves a checker off the 24-pt.
Bar/24, 23/18 is tied with bar/20, 24/23 for first place.

Detailed Description
The Waterman-Eggert algorithm (local alignment with declumping) is available through the LocalAlignmentEnumerator class.
When using Gaps and Align objects, only parts (i.e. one infix) of each sequence will be aligned. This will be presented to the user by setting the clipping begin and end position of the gaps (the rows in the case of Align objects). When using Fragment strings, these parts of the sequences will not appear in any fragment.
There exist multiple overloads for this function with two configuration dimensions.
First, you can select the type of the target storing the alignment. This can be either an Align object, two Gaps objects, or a string of Fragment objects. Align objects provide an interface to tabular alignments with the restriction of all rows having the same type. Using two Gaps objects has the advantage that you an align sequences with different types, for example DnaString and Dna5String. Using Fragment strings is useful for collecting many pairwise alignments, for example in the construction of Alignment Graphs for multiple- sequence alignments (MSA).
Second, you can optionally give a band for the alignment using lowerDiag and upperDiag. The center diagonal has index 0, the ith diagonal below has index -i, the ith above has index i.
The examples below show some common use cases.
Examples
Local alignment of two sequences using an Align object.
Dna5String seqH = "CGATT";
Dna5String seqV = "CGAAATT";
Align<Dna5String> align;
resize(rows(align), 2);
assignSource(row(align, 0), seqH);
assignSource(row(align, 0), seqV);
Score<int, Simple> scoringScheme(2, -1, -2);
int result = localAlignment(align, scoringScheme);
Local banded alignment of two sequences using two Gaps objects.
Dna5String seqH = "CGATT";
Gaps<Dna5String, ArrayGaps> gapsH(seqH);
DnaString seqV = "CGAAATT";
Gaps<Dna5String, AnchorGaps<> > gapsV(seqV);
Score<int, Simple> scoringScheme(5, -3, -1, -5);
int result = localAlignment(gapsH, gapsV, scoringScheme, -2, 2);

DXM |
(powder / crystals) |
The previous week I had been at a party when I ran into a friend of mine who was selling powdered DXM in capsules. I had never tried any dissasociatives before, so I jumped at my chance and bought a pill.
I waited a few days to sort of mentally prepare myself, And I dropped the pill at 9:00. It took about an hour for the effects to kick in. This drug hits my body HARD! I felt light, but at the same time like I was being sucked into my bed. Time was extremely distorted, so I lost track of it.
My vision started to fuzz, and I eventually started to see double. The effect was pretty uncomfortable; I couldn't really focus on anything so I just closed my eyes. My closed eye visuals consisted mostly of unfamiliar rooms and chambers, really uneventful. My body started to tremble and itch in a nagging and uncomfortable way. My motorskills were shot, in fact, to the point where I could NOT get up from the bed. At this point I started to have the sensation of wild body distortions.
My body felt like it was flowing and reshaping itself. I have had similar body halucinations on LSD where my body would feel the same as my closed eye visuals looked, but with LSD the feeling is of being a two dimensional pattern while this was very three dimensional. This didn't seem to last very long, but the feeling was replaced with an overwhelming sensation of being sucked out of my body. This continued throughout the trip with several different themes including being sucked down into a hole, or just drifting around outside.
At one point I had the sensation of traveling very quickly up out of my body and I remember thinking 'I'm getting really high now!', when the peak experience of my trip hit. Suddenly I was sure that I had died. It's strange how it worked, it was like my inner dialogue all of the sudden yelled 'Oh my god, your dead. you've died!', but the thought seemed beyond my control, almost as if it came from the drug rather than me.
Then as clearly as anything in my life I felt on my skin and even saw through my eyelids what I can only describe as the light at the end of the tunnel. It was such a calming, pleasant, sensation that I reached my arms out to embrace it. I felt truly at peace and I was happy to know that I didn't have to worry about any of my problems anymore. For a second it was pure bliss, but then I realised that I was still aware of my body so I must not be dead. This made the whole experience semm cheapened, and I quickly returned to my body. My peak experience seemed to take only a few seconds, but all these things occured to me in that time. The trip went on for a few hours after and kinda petered out.
Although the feeling of dying seemed artificial, It also made me put a lot of things in my life into a new perspective, and since then I feel that my life has been more satisfying. I have had a hundred psychedelic experiences prior to doing dex, but this trip seemed to finally show me what I was looking for in my inner voyages. I havn't felt a strong need to trip on anything since, and previously I've had a reputation as an acid addict.

Evaluate sample qualities of GANs in browser
This is the demo of evaluation metric from “ Quantitatively Evaluating GANs with Divergences proposed for Training”. This paper shows how to measure the similarity between the data distribution and model distribution by constructing a critic network based on certain divergence or distance metrics used in training GANs, e.g., least square divergence, Jenson-Shannon divergence, Wasserstein distance, etc. Therefore the evaluation process does not need external model and data labels.
Instructions:
Click " Show Image" to inference samples from data distribution and model distribution.
Click " Evaluate" on each card to evaluate sample qualities.
Real data distribution, as a baseline, has the best quality.

NAME
inet_ntop - convert IPv4 and IPv6 addresses from binary to text form
SYNOPSIS
#include <arpa/inet.h>
const char *inet_ntop(int af, const void *src,
char *dst, socklen_t size);
DESCRIPTION
This function converts the network address structure
src
in the
af
address family into a character string.
The resulting string is copied to the buffer pointed to by
dst,
which must be a non-null pointer.
The caller specifies the number of bytes available in this buffer in
the argument
size.
inet_ntop()
extends the
inet_ntoa(3)
function to support multiple address families,
inet_ntoa(3)
is now considered to be deprecated in favor of
inet_ntop().
The following address families are currently supported:
- AF_INET
-
src
points to a
struct in_addr
(in network byte order)
which is converted to an IPv4 network address in
the dotted-decimal format, "ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd".
The buffer
dst
must be at least
INET_ADDRSTRLEN
bytes long.
- AF_INET6
-
src
points to a
struct in6_addr
(in network byte order)
which is converted to a representation of this address in the
most appropriate IPv6 network address format for this address.
The buffer
dst
must be at least
INET6_ADDRSTRLEN
bytes long.
RETURN VALUE
On success,
inet_ntop()
returns a non-null pointer to
dst.
NULL is returned if there was an error, with
errno
set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
- EAFNOSUPPORT
-
af
was not a valid address family.
- ENOSPC
-
The converted address string would exceed the size given by
size.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
Note that RFC 2553 defines a prototype where the last argument
size
is of type
size_t.
Many systems follow RFC 2553.
Glibc 2.0 and 2.1 have
size_t,
but 2.2 and later have
socklen_t.
BUGS
AF_INET6
converts IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses into an IPv6 format.

Description of Geocentric Coordinates
Geocentric coordinates are three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z) that define the position of a point with respect to the center of mass of the earth. The origin of the coordinate system is at the center of the reference ellipsoid. The coordinate system is a right-handed system, with the positive X axis emerging from the ellipsoid at the equator on the prime meridian, and the positive Z axis emerging from the ellipsoid at the north pole.
Description of Local Cartesian Coordinates
A local Cartesian coordinate system is primarily defined by the location of its origin, in geodetic coordinates. If the specified origin height is zero, the local XY plane is tangent to the surface of the reference ellipsoid at the specified origin. If the origin height is non-zero, the local XY plane is shifted up or down accordingly. If the specified orientation angle is zero, the local positive Y axis points north, while the local positive X axis points east, and the local positive Z axis points "up", perpendicular to the ellipsoid surface at the origin. If the orientation angle is not zero, then the local Cartesian coordinate system is rotated clockwise about the Z axis by the specified amount. For example, if the orientation angle is 90°, the local positive Y axis will point east, while the local positive X axis points south.
Description of Geodetic Coordinates
Geodetic coordinates consist of geodetic latitude (f), geodetic longitude (l), and geodetic height (h) which define the position of a point on, or near, the surface of the earth with respect to a reference ellipsoid. Their relationship to the reference ellipsoid is shown in the figure below. The angle between the normal SP and the equatorial (X-Y) plane is called the geodetic latitude (f) of point P. The meridian plane containing point P is defined as the half-plane containing the Z-axis and point P. The angle between the prime meridian (X-Z) plane and the meridian containing point P is the geodetic longitude (l) of point P. Geodetic longitude is not defined when P lies on the Z-axis. The distance from Q to P is called the geodetic or ellipsoidal height (h).
Relationship Between Geocentric and Geodetic Coordinates
Latitude limits:
-90° (90°S) to +90° (90°N )
Longitude limits:
0° to 360° or -180° (180°W) to +180° (180°E)
Description of GEOREF Coordinates
The World Geographic Reference System (GEOREF) is an alpha-numeric system for reporting positions for air defense and strategic air operations. It is based on geodetic coordinates. The first two letters in a GEOREF coordinate string identify a 15° quadrangle, as shown below. The next two letters define a 1° cell within that quadrangle, also as shown below. The remaining digits define the location within the cell in terms of decimal minutes of longitude and latitude, with a maximum resolution of 0.001 minutes (approximately 2 meters).
GEOREF 15° Quadrangles
GEOREF 1° Cells within a 15° Quadrangle
Description of GARS Coordinates
The Global Area Reference System (GARS) is an alpha-numeric system which divides the world into 30 minute cells using quadrant/keypad tiling. The first three numbers identify the 30 minute east/west quadrangle, ranging from 1 to 720. The next two letters identify the 30 minute north/south quadrangle, ranging from AA to QZ, omitting I and O. The next number identifies a 15 minute cell within that quadrangle. This value ranges from 1 to 4, arranged left to right, top to bottom. The last number identifies a 5 minute cell within the 15 minute cell. This value ranges from 1 to 9, arranged as a keypad left to right, top to bottom.

Description of MGRS Coordinates
The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) is an alpha-numeric system, based upon the UTM and UPS map projections, for identifying positions. An MGRS coordinate consists of a zone designation, alphabetic 100,000-meter grid square designator, and numeric coordinates within the 100,000 meter grid square. MGRS coordinates are defined for the primary UTM and UPS areas, but not for the overlap areas along the polar region boundaries.
In the UTM area, MGRS coordinates are based on the ellipsoid, geodetic latitude, UTM zone, Easting and Northing as follows:
a. The first two characters of the
MGRS coordinate are the two digits of the numeric UTM zone. Leading zeros must
be included. The figure below shows the layout of the zones, including the
irregular zones in the
b. The third character of the MGRS coordinate is a letter representing a band of geodetic latitude. Beginning at 80°S and proceeding northward, the 20 bands are lettered C through X, omitting I and O. The bands are all 8° high except band X (72°N to 84°N), which is 12° high. The figure below shows the layout of these bands.
MGRS Zones and Bands
c. The fourth and fifth characters of
the MGRS coordinate are a pair of letters representing the 100,000-meter grid
square. Two different patterns of two-letter designations are used, depending
on the ellipsoid associated with the current datum. The first diagram below
shows the pattern of 100,000 meter square designations used with the Clarke
1866, Clarke 1880, Bessel 1841 and Bessel 1841
Note: The alphabetic method of designating 100,000-meter grid squares has changed over time. Older products may have different grid square designations.
MGRS 100,000m Square Designations (AL Pattern)
MGRS 100,000m Square Designations (AA Pattern)
d. The remainder of the MGRS coordinate string consists of the numeric Easting and Northing values within the 100,000-meter grid square. The left half of the digit sequence is the Easting value, which is read to the right from the left edge of the 100,000-meter grid square. The right half of the digit sequence is the Northing value, which is read northward from the bottom edge of the 100,000-meter grid square. Both the Easting and Northing values are within the range from 0 to 100,000 meters. Both Easting and Northing values must have the same resolution and must include leading zeros.
In the UPS area, MGRS coordinates are based on the ellipsoid, geodetic latitude and longitude, Easting, and Northing as follows:
a. The first character of the MGRS coordinate is:
A in the Southern and Western Hemispheres,
B in the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres,
Y in the Northern and Western Hemispheres, and
Z in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres.
b. The second and third characters of the MGRS coordinate are letters representing a 100,000 meter grid square. The diagrams below show the layout of the 100,000 meter squares in the north and south polar zones.
MGRS 100,000m Square Designations for North Polar Zone
MGRS 100,000m Square Designations for South Polar Zone
c. The method for calculating the remainder of the MGRS coordinate is the same as in d (above).
Description of F-16 GRS Coordinates
The F-16 Grid Reference System (F-16 GRS) is a variant of MGRS that is intended to be compatible with the navigation system of the F-16 fighter aircraft. All other users should use standard MGRS coordinates.
At 100,000m precision, an F-16 GRS coordinate string includes two trailing zeros, following the zone number, the zone letter, and the two-letter 100,000m square designation. In a standard MGRS coordinate string, the presence of these zeros would imply 10,000m precision. However, due to a quirk in the F-16 navigation system, strings of this form are used to designate a 100,000m square. Except for this quirk, F-16 GRS coordinates are identical to MGRS coordinates.
Description of USNG Coordinates
The United States National Grid (USNG) is an alpha-numeric system, based upon the UTM and UPS map projections, for identifying positions. An USNG coordinate consists of a zone designation, alphabetic 100,000-meter grid square designator, and numeric coordinates within the 100,000 meter grid square. USNG coordinates are defined for the primary UTM and UPS areas, but not for the overlap areas. USNG coordinates are identical to MGRS coordinates, except that USNG coordinates use a single pattern of 100,000-meter grid square designators (the AA pattern), regardless of the ellipsoid.
In the UTM area, USNG coordinates are based on the ellipsoid, geodetic latitude, UTM zone, Easting and Northing as follows:
a. The first two characters of the
USNG coordinate are the two digits of the numeric UTM zone. Leading zeros must
be included. The figure below shows the layout of the zones, including the
irregular zones in the
b. The third character of the USNG coordinate is a letter representing a band of geodetic latitude. Beginning at 80°S and proceeding northward, the 20 bands are lettered C through X, omitting I and O. The bands are all 8° high except band X (72°N to 84°N), which is 12° high. The figure below shows the layout of these bands.
USNG Zones and Bands
c. The fourth and fifth characters of the USNG coordinate are a pair of letters representing the 100,000-meter grid square. The diagram below shows the pattern of 100,000 meter square. The patterns are repeated every six zones.
Note: The alphabetic method of designating 100,000-meter grid squares has changed over time. Older products may have different grid square designations.
USNG 100,000m Square Designations (AA Pattern)
d. The remainder of the USNG coordinate string consists of the numeric Easting and Northing values within the 100,000-meter grid square. The left half of the digit sequence is the Easting value, which is read to the right from the left edge of the 100,000-meter grid square. The right half of the digit sequence is the Northing value, which is read northward from the bottom edge of the 100,000-meter grid square. Both the Easting and Northing values are within the range from 0 to 100,000 meters. Both Easting and Northing values must have the same resolution and must include leading zeros.
In the UPS area, USNG coordinates are based on the ellipsoid, geodetic latitude and longitude, Easting, and Northing as follows:
a. The first character of the USNG coordinate is:
A in the Southern and Western Hemispheres,
B in the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres,
Y in the Northern and Western Hemispheres, and
Z in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres.
b. The second and third characters of the USNG coordinate are letters representing a 100,000 meter grid square. The diagrams below show the layout of the 100,000 meter squares in the north and south polar zones.
USNG 100,000m Square Designations for North Polar Zone
USNG 100,000m Square Designations for South Polar Zone
c. The method for calculating the remainder of the USNG coordinate is the same as in d (above).


Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) enjoys all the outward trappings of middle-class success in the aptly but ironically titled film "American Beauty": a beautiful wife named Carolyn (Annette Bening) with her own real-estate business and a teenage daughter with no obvious flaws. But his life is joyless.
Their life is filled with empty rituals. They sit in a well-appointed dining room each evening trading insults over their meal, while the strains of schmaltzy arrangements of Rogers and Hammerstein show tunes are heard on the stereo in utter contrast to the acrimony at the table. Sexual tension would explain most of the bickering between husband and wife. Their daughter Jane (Thora Burch) has no use for either of them as well, but holds her father in greater contempt for his remoteness. When he makes clumsy attempts to bond with her, she recoils in disgust.
A series of events will soon destroy any illusions that they had in normal family life. Lester has a meeting with a personnel manager whose task it is to figure out what people are contributing to the media corporation that employs them. Everybody, including Lester, is supposed to turn in a one page summary of what their job responsibilities consist of--presumably those whose summaries seem superfluous to the operation of the corporation will become superfluous themselves. A spark of rebellion prompts Lester to tell the manager that this is just a thinly disguised downsizing plot. This initial meeting leads to mounting confrontations with the corporate world that sustains him and his empty lifestyle.
Later that week the Burnhams go to see their daughter perform in an absurdly choreographed cheerleader dance number during half-time at a high-school basketball game. He fixates on Angela (Mena Suvari), the sexually precocious best friend of his daughter, who picks up on his interest later that evening in the parking lot of the high school. >From that point on she finds excuses to drop by the Burnham household where she knows that Lester will leer at her.
His wife is oblivious to all this. Her only interest in life is selling real estate. In one of the most powerful scenes in the film, she is depicted feverishly cleaning a house early in the morning to make it attractive to prospective buyers. Her entire day is then spent with customers telling her that the house is unattractive. At the end of the day, with the house unsold, she collapses in tears.
Into their tortured lives enters a young man, who offers Lester liberation from boredom and oppression.  Her father sees another side of Ricky. His other avocation besides video is smoking and selling high-powered marijuana out of the bedroom of his house. Lester soon becomes one of his best customers. Smoking marijuana combines with the realization that the corporate world does not matter to him anymore. What really matters is wooing his daughter's libidinous classmate and living the lifestyle he enjoyed as a 21 year old. He begins listening to Jimi Hendrix in his garage as he pumps iron after Angela has told him that he needs to work out a little. When he is not lifting weights, he is smoking expensive pot.
"American Beauty" is best at describing the futility of American middle-class life. It is understandably weak in presenting a believable alternative, since there is none within the confines of the capitalist system. Poor Earl and Carolyn are driven to find salvation within the system--her on the system's own terms and he within an "alternative" lifestyle that owes more to a Levi's commercial than anything else. Screenwriter Alan Ball's rebels are a middle-aged man who lapses into late adolescence and an adolescent drug dealer who operates within the fringes of consumerist society. What is marijuana, after all, than the ultimate commodity. When he is showing Lester his wares, he makes a sales pitch for genetically modified weed that uses top secret government biotechnology and sells for $2000 an ounce.
"American Beauty", whatever its flaws, is worth seeing as a snapshot of American society at a peculiar juncture in its unfolding as an empire. In the final years of the second term of the Clinton administration, which by some standards has produced more material success than has been enjoyed in many years, Hollywood is turning out films that curse the system that produced it.

This post serves as an account of, as well as an instructional reference for, the quirks of installing Arch GNU/Linux on the XPS 13 7390.
I recently purchased one of these machines new, and decided that I wanted Arch to be the OS that I would install on it. Previously I had installed Arch on my ThinkPad X220, but that machine’s age and ubiquity meant that I didn’t really run into any hiccups - most things “just worked” thanks to native kernel support. Since the 7390 revision of the popular XPS 13 is less than 2 years old at the time of this writing, there were a few extra things to work through.
Firstly, the community wiki is the definitive reference for getting Arch running on any compatible machine. In addition to the installation guide, there are also many individual pages dedicated to device-specific issues and tips. See these pages for the usual procedure for installation of the base system. I’ve also found the wiki to be an excellent reference for other popular software, and for Unix in general.
Disabling PSR
Panel Self Refresh is a power-saving measure that aims to cut
down on unnecessary display refreshes of static content. With Intel’s i915
chipset, a kernel bug (?) causes the display to flicker on some machines. On
mine, the display would randomly corrupt completely. Adding i915.enable_psr=0
as a kernel option fixes this issue, at the cost of the battery life it would
otherwise save.
Fixing GTK3 Scaling
Although the configuration I purchased includes a 1080p
screen at 96 DPI, I found that I had scaling issues on Firefox. Initially I
believed this to be an issue with Wayland (I’m attempting to leave X behind),
but Firefox appeared incredibly tiny in both Sway and i3. The fix I landed on
was setting the environment variable GDK_DPI_SCALE
to 1.3. This seemed to be
the best option, as Sway does support fractional scaling for the whole display,
but seems to discourage it in their documentation. A similar fix may be required
for apps running QT frontends; I haven’t tried one yet.
Adjusting Display Brightness
The Arch wiki page for this machine advises installing the acpilight
package,
and setting a udev rule, in addition to adding acpi_backlight=vendor
as a
kernel parameter. However I found it was much easier to install brightnessctl
and add the keymap bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec brightnessctl set +2%
and
a similar mapping for lowering the brightness.
Overall, the installation went very smoothly, and there aren’t too many gotchas to be concerned about. I may do a followup to this post in the future if I run into more unexpected and/or obscure issues, though.

If you were able to complete the puzzle, you can understand how genotype imputation works. Genotype imputation is performed using a similar method to the one your brain used to fill in the missing letters above. You used context clues from the letters and words surrounding the missing letters as well as your knowledge of the known words in the english dictionary. Genotype imputation relies on a reference population of many individuals who have essentially no missing letters and looks for shared haplotypes between reference sequences and your sequence. Imputation algorithms provide a probability for each possible genotype at every imputed locus in the genome.
The Imputation pipeline was architected with genipe
Within genipe:
plink is used for pre-phasing data cleaning and format conversion.
SHAPEIT is used for phasing.
IMPUTE2 is used for imputation, using the 1000 Genomes Phase 3 reference data.
