The Portrayal of Women in
Film After 1970
by Katherine M. Lasher
The portrayal of lawyers and
the legal system in film has changed considerably since the 1970's.
As discussed in Michael Asimow's Bad Lawyers in the Movies,
24 Nova L.R. 533 (2000), films since the 1970's have portrayed
lawyers in a negative light. And women attorneys are no exception
to this trend.
Prior to the 1970's, only a handful
of films actually portrayed women as attorneys. One of the most
famous films depicting a woman as an attorney is Adam's Rib
(Turner Entertainment Co., 1949) a comedy made in the 1940's.
In Adam's Rib, Katharine Hepburn portrays a spirited
female attorney, Amanda Bonner, who is married to a local prosecutor,
Adam (Spencer Tracy). Both spouses face each other in the courtroom
when Amanda defends a woman who has been charged with attempted
murder of her husband, and Adam prosecutes the case. Some critics
argue, that Amanda's courtroom antics, and not her intelligence,
allowed her to win the case. This is highlighted, in one courtroom
scene when Adam criticizes Amanda's arguments starting: "First
of all, I should like to say that I think the arguments advanced
by counsel were sound . . . MERE sound." But, in my opinion,
Amanda is portrayed as a creative trial advocate who is gutsy
and intelligent both inside and outside the courtroom. For a
film made in the 1940's, Amanda's character is extremely independent
and self-sufficient. Amanda has a driver's license (though Adam
is unnerved by her driving habits), Amanda shares household responsibilities
with Adam (and the maid), and Amanda has her own practice. More
importantly, Amanda is driven to free her client because she
observes that there is a sexual double-standard at play and the
case offers her an opportunity to showcase a woman's inherent
constitutional right to justice. However, like many contemporary
films portraying women in positions of power, Amanda's marriage
suffers as a result of her taking the case against her husband.
Despite this, Amanda's portrayal of a female attorney is probably
one of the best we have seen to date.
In the late 1970's, women's roles as attorneys in film became
more evident. This is due, in large part, to the growing number
of females entering the law profession. For example, polls show
that in the 1960's female attorneys comprised 3% of the associate
population, by the 1980's they comprised about 20% of the associates,
and by the 1990's they made up almost 40% of the associate population
(See Cynthia Fuchs Epstein, et al., Glass Ceiling and Open
Doors: Women's Advancement in the Legal Profession,
64 Fordham L.Rev. 291, 313-314 (1995)).
There have been several changes in the portrayal of female attorneys
since the 1970's. First, women attorneys are now portrayed as
main characters in film. Second, while there has been an increase
in the number of women attorneys both in film and in practice
since the 1970's, female attorneys in film, like their male counterparts,
have generally been portrayed in a negative light.
One film that incorporates
practically all of the images discussed above, and challenges
the protagonist to make many ethical decisions is Class Action
(20th Century Fox, 1991). In this film, Maggie Ward (Mary Mastrantonio)
works for a large firm doing primarily defense work. Throughout
the film, Maggie's actions as an attorney are contrasted with
her father's actions as a plaintiff's attorney. Jed Ward (Gene
Hackman) is a reputable, liberal lawyer whose most celebrated
case is representing a whistleblower. The importance of gender
roles appears in opening scenes, which switches between two courtroom
scenes. In one courtroom, Maggie argues a motion to dismiss.
She focuses on the "black letter law," and even informs
the judge that "appeals to emotion have no place in a court
of law." Jed, in contrast, appeals to the jurors' emotions
when arguing his case in the adjoining courtroom. In the courtroom,
and throughout most of the film, Maggie is surrounded by male
associates, which is accentuated by the fact that there is no
other woman who has the same occupational status in her firm.
The image portrayed by this is that Maggie is isolated from
her female peers. The climax of the film occurs when Maggie
aligns herself with her father after she discovers that her supervising
partner, with whom she has been having an affair, has used his
status with her to cover-up material evidence pertinent in the
lawsuit. In the end, Maggie changes her personal life by trusting
her emotions, but not without sacrificing her legal career.
Probably one of the best films
portraying an attorney who makes a bad judgment in character
is Jagged Edge (Columbia Pictures, 1985). In this film
Teddy Barnes (Glen Close), a former prosecutor turned civil defense
attorney, represents her firm's biggest and wealthiest client
who has been charged with murdering his wife. Barnes, like many
other female attorneys portrayed in film, is divorced. During
the course of trial preparation, Barnes leaps into bed with her
client. Instead of withdrawing as counsel, Barnes continues
to represent her client and becomes conflicted when she learns
that her client, now lover, may have in fact been the murderer.
Barnes is able to get her client acquitted, but after the trial,
Barnes accidentally discovers the identity of the murderer.
Instead of reporting this information to the police or prosecutor,
Barnes takes matters into her own hands. In the end, justice
is served, but not without Barnes potentially sacrificing her
legal career.
Barnes' colleagues fare no better when confronted with ethical
dilemmas, particularly when it comes to sexual relationships.
In And Justice For All (Malton Films, 1979), attorney
Gail Packer (Christine Lahti) has an affair with fellow attorney
Arthur Kirkland (Al Pacino) even though she is a member of the
state bar ethics committee that is investigating Kirkland. And,
in Suspect (Tri-Star Pictures, 1987), Kathleen Riley (Cher)
is a burnt-out public defender who has a lonely personal life
until she teams up with a juror on her case to solve the murder.
And to push our professional code of ethics completely over
the line, Riley sleeps with the juror in the process.
Music Box (Carolco Pictures, 1990) is a good
example of a female attorney who becomes so driven by her emotions
that she loses power over her case. In this movie, Ann Talbot
(Jessica Lange) is a successful criminal attorney who is divorced
but has an amicable relationship with her father-in-law. In
the beginning of the film, Talbot is portrayed as a tough and
skilled litigator. The opening scenes of the movie demonstrate
Talbot's ability to win cases for her defendants, while maintaining
a safe separation from her clients. However, when Talbot's father
receives a notice of deportation, which is based on the government's
allegations that Talbot's father had lied on his citizenship
application, Talbot agrees to represent her father. Talbot's
father is accused of being a notorious Nazi SS officer responsible
for hideous war crimes during World War II. Talbot's father
plays heavily on her emotions and Talbot is ultimately unable
to remain emotionally detached from the case, and seeks the assistance
of her former father-in-law. Ultimately her father-in-law's
tip, along with another anonymous tip, allows the case against
her father to be dropped. Though this film plays heavily on
the loss of power women in film feel when they rely on their
emotions, the film offers some redemption when Talbot finally
faces the truth about her father and turns evidence implicating
her father over to the special prosecutor.
The film that best depicts a woman attorney as striving to obtain
justice without confronting serious ethical dilemmas is The
Client (Warner Bros., 1994). In this movie Reggie Love (Susan
Sarandon) is a successful female attorney, who agrees to represent
a young boy who inadvertently knows too much about a Mafia killing.
While there has been some criticism that the young boy Love
represents saves her from stereotypical female emotional reactions,
Love actually exemplifies a contemporary female attorney who
is competent, passionate, and ethical. Although Love is a recovering
alcoholic, the film focuses more on her defending the young boy
and keeping him from harm. And, unlike most female protagonists,
Love is portrayed as almost a hero by the end of the film when
she helps her client obtain justice.
Since the mid-1990's, there
have been few films portraying female attorneys as the main character.
Nevertheless, through the use of female attorneys in minor roles,
several other films have demonstrated that a new trend in the
portrayal of women attorneys is emerging. I suggest that this
trend, which portrays women as more independent and less reliant
on their male colleagues, is a more accurate depiction of a female
attorney today. For example, in Legally Blonde (MGM,
2001), Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon), an LA valley girl who
resembles a Barbie-doll, loses her boyfriend to Harvard Law School.
Woods is determined to win him back by getting a law degree
herself. Her first year of law school is supposed to resemble
the modern day version of The Paper Chase. And, while
certain aspects of the film are unrealistic, this departs from
the older films by showing a female protagonist who is able to
overcome her personal life and succeed professionally. Also,
the film departs from earlier films by using a female law professor
as Woods's role model.
Whether future films will continue
the trend away from the traditional model of a female attorney
established in the 1970's and 1980's, it appears that, no matter
how they are portrayed, female attorneys will continue to play
an important role in film. While the jury is still out about
whether law is a reflection of our society or simply impacts
our perceptions, there is no doubt that law, with all its strengths
and weaknesses, is reflected most boldly and largely on the silver
screen.

Youth Involvement in Politics
[Unfinished] “My daddy is a PLP, so I is a PLP!”
This is something I heard often when I was in high school and thought little of it. The two parties were indistinguishable to me beyond their colors and I only had a glancing understanding of how the government worked anyway. My response to things like ‘Senate’ or ‘House of Assembly’ was…‘I’ve heard those words before!’ I knew there was a Prime Minister who was normally surrounded by controversy and scandal and that things were rarely going well anywhere. ‘Minister of’ something or other would also come up in the news from time to time followed by names of people I could half-recognize. I would look back at those times and laugh but I think my political ignorance is indicative of a larger problem.
Information online was scarce (part of the motivation behind this site) and whenever political issues came up my friends and I would often shrug, say ‘CVA’, and let the topic die. The concept of Can’t Vote Anyway is certainly not unique to the Bahamas, nor is political apathy beyond sensationalist headlines and scandals.
As things worsen, people naturally look to their leaders for solutions. For many, their dissatisfaction with the status quo led to the rising numbers in the DNA (founded in 2011) and their ‘Young Democrats’ group.

BIT SECURE
WRITE UP
Safety and security of personal belongings such as luggage, purses containing valuables etc. is a big task for travellers.
They must be very alert while staying at places, hotels which lack extra security. This really reduces the joy of their
vacation. Therefore, a security gadget, BIT Secure, which would alarm the owner about any attempt of theft of belongings
or unwanted intrusion in his/her vicinity is being developed in the Sandbox.The tiny matchbox-sized gadget, BIT Secure
can be attached to the luggage, laptop, costly personal belongings or even the door of the hotels to alert the owner
of any unwanted movement by either flashing lights, buzzer or a SMS too to the owner’s Smartphone.Apart from protecting
the luggage, BIT Secure can also give peace of mind when one is inside a hotel room but worried about anyone entering
the room with duplicate keys. BIT Secure can be attached to Hotel door from inside. Whenever intruders will try to
open the door the alarm will set off to make one alert.
Prototype has already been developed and the students are now working on making it more energy efficient and smaller.

Pentagon Chief Fires Navy Secretary Over SEAL Controversy
by ASSOCIATED PRESSBy ROBERT BURNS Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Sunday fired the Navy’s top official for allegedly proposing a deal with the White House behind Esper’s back to resolve the matter of a Navy SEAL whose case that has been championed by President Donald Trump.
At Esper’s request, Navy Secretary Richard Spencer submitted his resignation Sunday, said the chief spokesman for the Pentagon, Jonathan Hoffman.
Esper said he has recommended to the White House that Trump nominate as Spencer’s successor the current U.S. ambassador to Norway, Kenneth Braithwaite, a retired Navy rear admiral.
The firing was a dramatic turn in a fast-changing and politically charged controversy involving Navy Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher.
On Wednesday the Navy had notified Gallagher that he would face a Navy SEAL review board to determine if he should be allowed to remain in the elite force.
Gallagher was acquitted of a murder charge in the stabbing death of an Islamic State militant captive, but a military jury convicted him of posing with the corpse while in Iraq in 2017. He was demoted from chief petty officer to a 1st class petty officer. Trump this month restored Gallagher’s rank.
In a statement issued by Hoffman, Esper said he had lost “trust and confidence” in Spencer after learning that the Navy secretary had “privately” proposed to the White House that Gallagher be allowed to retire in his current rank and without losing his status as a SEAL. Esper said that in previous conversations with Spencer about the Gallagher matter, Spencer had not told Esper of his proposal to the White House.
Esper faulted Spencer for a “lack of candor” on the matter.
A spokesperson for Spencer, Navy Cmdr. Sarah Higgins, said Spencer had no immediate comment.
In yet another twist, Esper also directed on Sunday that Gallagher be allowed to retire at the end of this month, and that the Navy review board that was scheduled to hear his case starting Dec. 2 be cancelled, Hoffman said. At Esper’s direction, Gallagher will be allowed to retire as a SEAL at his current rank, Hoffman said.
Hoffman said Esper’s position had been that the Navy’s disciplinary process should be allowed to “play itself out objectively and deliberately.”
“However, at this point, given the events of the last few days,” Esper decided that Gallagher should be allowed to retain his SEAL status, Hoffman said. He said Esper had concluded that Gallagher could not, under the circumstances, receive a fair shake from the Navy.
In the written statement, Esper said of Spencer: “I am deeply troubled by this conduct shown by a senior DOD official. Unfortunately, as a result I have determined that Secretary Spencer no longer has my confidence to continue in his position. I wish Richard well.”

Converting Files To EMDB-SFF¶
Contents
Introduction¶
Converting files to use the EMDB-SFF data model is one of the core functions
of sfftk
. This guide describes in detail how to accomplish conversions.
Synopsis¶
Running
sff convert
sff convert -h
sff convert --help
displays all conversion options.
sff convert
usage: sff convert [-h] [-p CONFIG_PATH] [-b] [-t] [-d DETAILS]
[-R PRIMARY_DESCRIPTOR] [-v] [-m] [-o OUTPUT | -f FORMAT]
[from_file [from_file ...]]
Perform conversions to EMDB-SFF
positional arguments:
from_file file to convert from
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p CONFIG_PATH, --config-path CONFIG_PATH
path to configs file
-b, --shipped-configs
use shipped configs only if config path and user
configs fail [default: False]
-t, --top-level-only convert only the top-level segments [default: False]
-d DETAILS, --details DETAILS
populates <details>...</details> in the XML file
[default: '']
-R PRIMARY_DESCRIPTOR, --primary-descriptor PRIMARY_DESCRIPTOR
populates the
<primaryDescriptor>...</primaryDescriptor> to this
value [valid values: threeDVolume, meshList,
shapePrimitiveList]
-v, --verbose verbose output
-m, --multi-file enables convert to treat multiple files as individual
segments of a single segmentation; only works for the
following filetypes: stl, map, mrc, rec [default:
False]
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
file to convert to; the extension (.sff, .hff, .json)
determines the output format [default: None]
-f FORMAT, --format FORMAT
output file format; valid options are: sff (XML), hff
(HDF5), json (JSON) [default: sff]
Quick Start¶
Output to XML (Default)¶
sff convert file.seg
Specify Output File¶
sff convert file.seg -o file.sff
sff convert file.seg --output /path/to/output/file.sff
sff convert file.seg -o file.hff
sff convert file.seg -o file.json # only metadata; no geometrical data
Specify Output Format¶
sff convert file.seg -f hff
sff convert file.seg --format hff
EMDB-SFF Format Interconversion¶
sff convert file.sff --output /path/to/output/file.hff
sff convert file.hff --format json
sff convert file.sff --format sff # reduntant but should work
Verbose Operation¶
sff convert -v file.hff
sff convert --verbose file.hff
Truncate Segments (Segger Only)¶
sff convert -t file.seg
sff convert --top-level-only file.seg
Set Details¶
sff convert -d "Lorem ipsum dolor..." file.seg
sff convert --details "Lorem ipsum dolor..." file.seg
Change Primary Descriptor¶
sff convert -R contourList file.surf # AmiraHxSurface file
sff convert --primary-descriptor contourList file.surf # AmiraHxSurface file
Input Formats¶
sfftk
can convert several segmentation file formats (see
Supported Formats) into EMDB-SFF files.
Output Formats¶
EMDB-SFF files can be output as XML (.sff
), HDF5 (.hff
) or JSON
(.json
).
- XML EMDB-SFF files are typically relatively large compared to HDF5 and JSON equivalents. The compression applied in HDF5 files makes them ideal for large datasets.
- JSON EMDB-SFF files do not contain geometric descriptors and are primarily used as temporary files during annotation.
- Interconversion of the three formats is lossless (with the exception of geometrical data when converting to JSON - all geometrical data is excluded).
There are two ways to perform conversion:
- Specifying the output path with
-o/--output
flag - Specifying the output format with
-f/--format
flag
Specifying the output path with -o/--output
flag¶
Conversion is performed as follows:
sff convert file.seg -o file.sff
sff convert file.seg --output /path/to/output/file.sff
The output file extension determines the output format i.e.
sff convert file.seg -o file.hff
will result in an HDF5 file while
sff convert file.seg --output file.json
will be a JSON file.
Specifying the output format with -f/--format
flag¶
The -f/–format options ensures that the output file will be in the same
directory as the original segmentation file. The -f
flag takes one of three
values:
sff
for XML fileshff
for HDF5 filesjson
for JSON files.
Any other value raises an error.
sff convert file.seg -f hff
sff convert file.seg --format hff
The default format (if none is specified) is sff
(XML).
sff convert file.seg
results in file.sff as output.
EMDB-SFF Format Interconversion¶
It is also possible to perform interconversions between XML, HDF5 and JSON EMDB-SFF files.
sff convert file.sff --output /path/to/output/file.hff
or using –format
sff convert file.hff --format json
Even null conversions are possible:
sff convert file.sff --format sff
As stated previously, conversion to JSON drops all geometrical descriptions. Similarly, conversions from JSON to EMDB-SFF will not reinstate the geometric description information.
Verbose Operation¶
As with many Linux shell programs the -v/--verbose
option prints status
information on the terminal.
sff convert --verbose file.hff
Tue Sep 12 15:29:18 2017 Seting output file to file.sff
Tue Sep 12 15:29:18 2017 Converting from EMDB-SFF (HDF5) file file.hff
Tue Sep 12 15:30:03 2017 Created SFFSegmentation object
Tue Sep 12 15:30:03 2017 Exporting to file.sff
Tue Sep 12 15:30:07 2017 Done
Truncating Segments (Segger Only)¶
Segger segmentations include hundreds to thousands of sub-segmentations due to how the algorithm it uses (watershed algorithm) to segment the volume. The segmentations thus form a tree with the root having an ID of zero. Mostly, we are only interested in the children of the root which are in themselves roots of another tree. Specifying this option only transfers the children of the global root into the EMDB-SFF file.
Consider the following tree of segments:
The segmentation contains different levels commencing from the root down, with
children segments contained within parent segments. Specifying
-t/--top-level-only
treats only children of the root as segments and
excludes all others. Therefore, running
sff convert --top-level-only file.seg
on the above will produce an EMDB-SFF file with only three segments. Excluding this option means that the resulting EMDB-SFF file will be relatively large.
Specify Details¶
The EMDB-SFF data model provides for an optional <details/>
tag for
auxilliary information. The contents of this option will be put into
<details/>.
sff convert --details "Lorem ipsum dolor..." file.seg
Todo
Allow a user to pass a file whose contents will be inserted into <details/>
.
Changing The Primary Descriptor¶
The EMDB-SFF data model provides for three possible geometrical descriptors: meshes (meshList), shape primitives (shapePrimitiveList) and 3D volumes (threeDVolume).
In some cases, such as with IMOD segmentations, more than one geometrical descriptor may have been specified for the same segmentations.
The mandatory <primaryDescriptor/>
field specifies the main geometrical
descriptor to be used when performing conversions and other processing tasks.
Only valid values are allowed; otherwise a ValueError
is raised.
The table below shows valid primary descriptors by file type.
| File format | Valid primary descriptors |
|---|---|
| AmiraMesh | threeDVolume |
| AmiraHxSurface | meshList |
| CCP4 masks | threeDVolume |
| IMOD | meshList (default), shapePrimitiveList |
| Segger | threeDVolume |
| STL | meshList |
Note
IMOD files must have a mesh generated using imodmesh
command.
Note that the primary descriptor should only be changed to a value of a geometrical descriptor that is actually present in the EMDB-SFF file.
For IMOD files, sfftk
tries to infer which primary descriptor to use.
Also, if the primary descriptor is changed, it tries to ensure that a change
corresponds to the actual file contents.
Specifying Configurations To Use¶
sfftk
makes use of persistent configurations which affect how certain operations
are performed. There are three types of configurations detailed in the dedicated
documentation on configs (see Where Configurations Are Stored) in decreasing order of priority:
- custom configs defined in a
path/to/sff.conf
file; - user configs stored in
~/.sfftk/sff.conf
; - shipped configs which will sit with the installed
sfftk
package.
Custom configs are invoked using the -p/--config-path
option:
sff convert -p path/to/configs file.seg
sff convert --config-path path/to/configs file.seg
User configs are default and require no special flags.
Shipped configs use the -b/--shipped-configs
flag with no arguments:
sff convert -b file.am
sff convert --shipped-configs file.am
Working with Multifile Segmentations¶
Some of the segmentation file formats supported are designed to hold one segment per file. Therefore, representating a complete segmentation will require multiple files.
Currently the following file formats are multifile by design:
- CCP4 and related files - these files store segments as a 3D volume with segment region marked by
specific voxel values (e.g.
1
for in segment voxels and0
for the background. Specific file formats have.mrc
,.map
and.rec
. - Stereolithography files - while it is possible to concatenate several STL files into one,
STL files do not contain metadata such as segment colour. Therefore, it is best to handle them as
multifiles. STL files have a
.stl
extension.
Multifiles utilise the -m/--multi-file
argument followed by all the files each of which should
specify a single segment.
sff convert -m file1.map file2.map file3.map
The above command will use default options and write an EMDB-SFF file to file1.sff
. Alternatively,
the user should specify the output file
sff convert -m file1.map file2.map file3.map --output file.sff

Brobot
Brobot is a modular, easy to extend bot, based on Microsofts BotConnectorBot. For more details you can read the documentation here.
Live preview
See Brobot commands below or here.
Getting started
Install Brobot with this command:
npm install brobot
Examples
Check out the /example
directory for more.
Like this:
var Brobot = require('brobot');
var restify = require('restify');
var appId = process.env.APP_ID || 'YourAppId';
var appSecret = process.env.APP_SECRET || 'YourAppSecret';
// Initialize brobot with appId and appSecret of BotConnector. Read more: http://docs.botframework.com/connector/getstarted/#navtitle
var brobot = new Brobot({ appId: appId, appSecret: appSecret }, function(session, returnArgs) {
var response = '';
// Store count of arguments brobot returned for this message
var argCount = returnArgs.length;
// Iterate throught every argument
for (var i = 0; i < argCount; i++) {
// Append every argument to 'str'
response += returnArgs[i];
}
// Reply to our chat with result of message
session.send(response);
});
// This is just the server which listens for new messages from botconnector
const server = restify.createServer();
server.post('/api/messages', brobot.verifyBotFramework(), brobot.listen());
server.listen(process.env.PORT || 8080, () => {
console.log('%s listening to %s', server.name, server.url);
});
Add new modules
Brobot handles every .js file in /src/modules as a module. If you want to know how a module should look like, click here.
To add new modules to this repo you should fork, add a module and make a pull request. I'll review it as soon as possible.
Brobot commands/modules
Let's say you've installed brobot and want to try some commands. Here is a list of the current commands, keep in mind you can extend them easily:
| Command | Minimum arguments | Example | Result | Explaination |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| / | 2 | / 5 2 | 2.5 | Simple division |
| * | 2 | * 6 2 | 12 | Simple multiplication |
| - | 2 | - 12 3 | 9 | Simple substraction |
| + | 2 | + 3 8 | 11 | Simple addition |
| morse | 2 | morse e hello world | .... . .-.. .-.. ---.-- --- .-. .-.. -.. | You can also write morse d to decrypt a morse code |
| pi | 0 | pi | 3.141592653589793 | |
| rev | 0 | rev hello world | world hello | Returns input in reversed word order |
| rrev | 0 | rrev hello world | olleh dlrow | Returns every word reversed |
Keep in mind, you won't get any response until you write echo
before your command. For example echo + 5 8 will return 13.
Command/Module chaining
Lets say we have the following command: echo + 1500 * 2 pi
This would return: 1506.2831853071796
Why? You have to read from right to left. First there is pi
which returns 3.141592653589793 and passes it's value to 2
.
Now passes itself (2) and it's argument (3.141592653589793) to module *
which will multiply theese two values returning 6.283185307179586
.
This value and the next (1500
) will finally passed to module +
which results in 1506.2831853071796
.
echo
will tell our bot to reply the result to the user. You can chain every other command too, just try it.


DNS is the standard form for naming websites and has been adopted internationally. It relates an IP address to a more easy to remember website name. It wouldn't be practical to remember the number combination of your favorite website, but using DNS like a phone book, you can type in what you are looking for and DNS will search for it and connect you to what you want to see.
Unfortunately, having a public network of available addresses and websites calls for trouble to start. Someone can spoof the IP address of the website you are trying to find and you can become susceptible to cyber attacks or having personal information stolen. It's hard to tell if you're really on the website you believe you are on, but having a secure connection can verify whether or not you are on the site you are on.
The internet is a large collection of many websites and data, so how can each site have it's own unique name and address. This is referred to in the IP Addresses page, but an IP address is assigned to it, and that IP address is connected to the domain name it holds. There are regulating organizations which oversee this process, such as ICANN. Furthermore, looking at the breakdown of how a domain is structured above, the root can be .org, .com, or .net, among many others. Any of these three top level domains can contain the same domain name. Having these structures allows for the interconnectivity at nearly instant speeds to occur. Any additional translation of data or packets of data being lost due to incompatible domains seems unacceptable.

As the flagship campus of the UC system,
UC Berkeley straddles a middle ground between public universities and
top-tier private universities. Though UC Berkeley is sometimes compared to Ivy League schools in quality,
it stands out among both private and public schools for its relative affordability, large enrollment and
diverse academic offerings. To examine what makes UC Berkeley unique, The Daily Californian investigated the
paths that UC Berkeley students take after graduation and the impact that college has on their careers.
Affordability
For students from lower-income backgrounds, higher education is a powerful gateway to climbing the income
ladder. When compared to liberal arts colleges such as Amherst College or Ivy League
schools such as Cornell University, the UC system enrolls a more diverse student
body that includes undergraduates from all income brackets. Though its academic
resources are often stretched thin, UC Berkeley provides a high-quality education
to thousands of students each year who otherwise could not afford one.
“The public mission has historically been to ensure access to students,”
said Tolani Britton, an assistant professor of education at UC Berkeley.
“Today, (that) goal of access is fraught. … There’s so many students
that want admission, even with the expansion of seats at UC Berkeley.”
{% include "partials/bar.html" %}
The cost of attending a four-year public university jumped 35% over the last
decade, according to the College Board. During the Great Recession, state funds
allocated for public universities shrunk as tax revenue slowed and governments
scrambled to patch economic emergencies. Today's public universities are
increasingly dependent on tuition and private donors for assistance. UC Berkeley
is no exception, as declining funding from the state of California and the rising
cost of living in the Bay Area strain both students and staff.
“There’s been relatively small rises in tuition in the last five years. … Since tuition is the dominant part of the university’s core revenue, that means that the net increase in revenues to the university is like 1% or 2%, whereas academic inflation is more in the 4-5% level,” said George Blumenthal, former UC Santa Cruz chancellor and director of the UC Berkeley Center for Studies in Higher Education. “Berkeley, like many public universities around the country over the last few years, has been struggling with this mathematics. Something’s got to give.”
Over the next few years, COVID-19 will only add to UC Berkeley’s financial woes.
“The UC system, so far, has committed to maintaining jobs. … Services to students, for example, have to be delivered differently — not just teaching, but also counseling services, advising.
Those needs don’t go away just because people are at home,” Blumenthal said. “Revenues will be down, but costs won’t.”
Against this background of financial troubles for universities, U.S. student debt ballooned to $1.6 trillion in 2020. Student loans can burden households decades beyond graduation and are a hot-button issue in the upcoming election.
Higher unemployment and financial troubles sparked by COVID-19 add to students’ uncertainties about their futures.
Debt also impacts students’ experiences while enrolled in college.
“The amount of debt that you take on has implications for the kind of jobs you’re considering, as well as your choices around both grad school and working,”
Britton said. “I think about whether or not students $50,000 in debt are willing to become teachers, outside of programs that might incentivize them through debt reduction, … knowing the salary of a public teacher in California.”
{% include "partials/line.html" %}
Though student debt has risen around the country, UC Berkeley is an exception.
The average financial debt of each graduating class has remained steady or declined since 2010 and dipped in 2016.
UC Berkeley spokesperson Adam Ratliff attributed the trend mostly to financial aid.
“Nearly 7 out of 10 undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid and scholarships,” Ratliff said in an email.
Data shows UC Berkeley’s average financial aid package per student rose from $21,587 in the 2010-11 academic year to $25,162 in 2015-16.
Where do Bears live after graduating?
As a state school, UC Berkeley enrolls mostly California residents who tend to remain in the Bay Area after graduating college.
This contrasts with private universities, which attract more students from across the United States. Ultimately, more alumni from private institutions
return to their home communities, rather than clustering near their university. This trend reflects UC Berkeley’s role as a public school
committed to serving California citizens.
Here, we investigate the geographic distribution of the graduating classes of 2017-2019. We broke the data down by college to visualize
the differing paths of graduates based on their specialties.
Depending on the types of careers students decide to pursue, they may end up
in different places.
{% include "partials/bar_bay.html" %}
The vast majority of new grads decide to stay in the Bay Area. As seen in the chart above, more than half of graduates from
all six schools stay in the Bay Area. Students in the College of Chemistry are
the least likely to stay, while students in the College of Environmental Design
are most likely to remain, with 78% planning to reside in the Bay immediately
after graduation. In this way, UC Berkeley resembles other public institutions
such as the University of Texas at Austin, where new grads tend to stay close
to their alma mater. UC Berkeley differs from elite private colleges, where
more than 40% of graduates end up more than 500 miles from their college,
according to Emsi, a data firm.
Below, you can see a visualization of the places new UC Berkeley alumni live outside the Bay Area.
In the diagram, you can follow links from left to right to see the percentage of students from a certain
college planning to live in each area on the right side. Thicker links denote more students moving to that area.
{% include "partials/sankey_region.html" %}
Destinations outside the Bay Area vary by college. Haas School of Business alumni are most
likely to end up in the Northeast, with 11% planning to live there. Los Angeles is another
popular destination for Bears: 12% of engineering majors and 12% of environmental design alumni
decide to live in LA. The percentage of alumni moving internationally is fairly constant across the colleges at about 5%.
How much do UC Berkeley grads earn?
UC Berkeley alumni earn high wages relative to those of alumni from both private and public schools.
Even though income varies depending on choice of major and career, earnings across all majors move closer
to the median over time.
According to Zach Bleemer, a UC Berkeley doctoral candidate in economics researching higher education,
“Berkeley graduates have very high early-career wages, … (which) quickly overcomes the short-run financial challenges
caused by tuition and other costs.” He added that “relative to other public institutions, those wages are high.”
Below, you can see the income distribution of recent graduates from each college at UC Berkeley. Each boxplot shows
the lower quartile, median and upper quartile of the incomes of a college’s graduating class.
Interestingly, the upper quartile of the College of Letters and Science jumped significantly over the last few years. This can largely be explained by a recent spike in the number of Letters and Science computer science majors. In 2015-16, UC Berkeley granted 422 computer science degrees. In 2018-19, the school granted 706 computer science degrees, according to Cal Answers. Otherwise, the numbers remain fairly consistent — small fluctuations can be explained by variations in response rates among colleges and over the years.
Next, we plotted the income of UC Berkeley grads years after graduation.
Below, you can see the income for different major groupings two, five and 10 years
after graduation. This shows the figures for 2008’s graduating seniors, the most recent
class for which we have data.
In the face of rising debt and an uncertain economic future exacerbated by COVID-19, students may feel pressure to
choose majors that promise lucrative careers. Data shows that, although members of the class of 2008 entered a tough job market
at the peak of the recession, their earnings increased steadily after graduation. Moreover, every group's income moves closer
to the median as time passes, regardless of their initial earnings. The range of incomes also increases, likely due to graduates
gaining experience in their respective careers and industries.
What jobs do Bears work after graduating?
UC Berkeley allows students access to a wide array of majors.
Because many students must apply to the college of their choice before arriving
as freshmen, the thought of careers is on many minds before even coming to campus.
“Students feel so pressured to have answers, when really, students are only 18, 19, 20
years old and don’t know exactly what their career path is going to look like,” said Kate Zuby,
career counseling outreach coordinator at UC Berkeley. “College is a time of exploration.”
Campus experiences through classes, extracurricular activities and friends can help students clarify what
they want or do not want out of their major.
“The decision I had was between EEP (Environmental Economics and Policy) and econ,” said rising UC Berkeley
junior Bryan Huang. “I ended up choosing EEP … because I wanted the small college feel of (the Rausser College of
Natural Resources) and the more hands-on approach.”
“In my first semester, I took an education class, kind of by accident. … Taking that class literally changed my
life and career plans. I finally found something that I felt passionate about,” said Namrata Subramanian,
a UC Berkeley class of 2020 graduate. “Whatever career path I want to take, … I need to be a teacher
first for a couple years before I make systemic change.”
Next, we examine the types of professional lives and jobs that new grads pursue after UC Berkeley.
This information is drawn from alumni immediately after graduation and does not reflect their long-term career choices.
{% include "partials/sankey_after.html" %}
Alumni from the College of Chemistry are the most likely to attend graduate school immediately after undergrad,
with 28% matriculating to another university. Haas and engineering alumni are the most likely to
be employed right after graduation.
For a closer look at the types of jobs new grads take on, we analyzed data from the campus Career Center’s Career
Destinations Surveys of graduating seniors from 2017 and 2018. We clustered popular majors into a
few different groups: life sciences, political/legal studies, computational studies/math and
business/economic studies.
Life Science Majors
{% include "partials/sankey_bio.html" %}
Political/Legal Majors
{% include "partials/sankey_pol.html" %}
Business/Economics Majors
{% include "partials/sankey_bus.html" %}
Computational/Math Majors
{% include "partials/sankey_tech.html" %}
In the last decade, UC Berkeley has been part of a
broader trend in colleges toward specialization within technical majors.
“We see new departments and majors springing up. … For example, data science: 20 years ago, you wouldn’t have known
what that was about,” Blumenthal said. “A lot of it is due to changes in technology.”
Newly established majors such as data science and centers such as the UC Berkeley Advanced Media Institute,
which trains students interested in digital journalism, are driven by both shifts in technology and high interest
from students. As seen above, technical majors with greater specialization, such as electrical
engineering and computer sciences, are linked strongly with certain types of careers after graduation.
Though most engineering students choose to become engineers, the link between major and career
is not as strong as it may seem to students.
“Having your eyes set on one prize is often a recipe for challenge or disappointment,” Zuby said.
“Majors are not prescriptive or a ‘one size fits all.’ We really want to open horizons for folks to look at other options.”
Students majoring in the humanities tend to pursue a wider range of post-graduation paths,
from nonprofit work to teaching to law school.
“People in humanities or social science are more likely to go into a career that differs from the
obvious choice in their major,” Blumenthal said. “The interesting question to ask (is)
‘Where are those students 10 years out?’ ”
A few years after graduation, an alum’s major is no longer linked strongly to their profession.
UC Berkeley graduates tend to excel in their chosen career paths, though it’s likely not because
of the classes they took for their major. “Instead, it just seems to be that, in general,
the skills and experiences kids are learning at Berkeley are very highly valuable,” according to Bleemer.
Bears in graduate school
About a fifth of new UC Berkeley graduates each year go on to enroll in graduate school, according to the Career Center.
UC Berkeley’s academic rigor and campus resources provide a supportive environment for students interested in more education.
“(On campus), most of what was helpful to me in deciding was talking to professors. … I talked to them
extensively about going to law school,” said Anya Ku, who attended UC Berkeley as an
undergrad and is now a student at the UC Berkeley School of Law. “Also, the political science advisers … remembered
what we talked about last and the details of my classes.”
Below, you can see the breakdown of graduate degrees that new grads directly pursue after leaving UC Berkeley.

{% include "partials/pie.html" %}
Master's degrees are clearly popular for most majors after college, with 53% of Bears in graduate school pursuing master's degrees.
The College of Environmental Design boasts the most diverse spread of alumni across different graduate degrees, with roughly
equal portions enrolling in doctorate, medical and law programs.

In many ways, UC Berkeley provides the educational benefits of elite private universities: high career earnings, good placement for graduate school and diverse academic offerings across technical fields and the humanities. UC Berkeley students cultivate their passions and skills during college,
enabling them to pursue an array of careers regardless of major.
At its core, however, UC Berkeley remains a public school that claims to be dedicated to
the mission of providing accessible education. In recent years, declining revenues
and the impact of COVID-19 have placed that mission under pressure. The next few years
will be crucial for determining UC Berkeley’s place in the education system.
About this story
Data for the employment and graduate programs of new graduates was sourced from the UC Berkeley Career Center's survey of graduating seniors each year.
In the major-specific diagrams, data was aggregated from the classes of 2017 and 2018. Information on tuition is from the U.S. Department of Education’s
Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System database , and the statistics on student debt are from Cal Answers.

What is
Cyber Security
Cyber security consists of technologies, processes and controls designed to protect systems, networks and data from cyber attacks. Effective cyber security reduces the risk of cyber attacks and protects against the unauthorised exploitation of systems, networks and technologies.
Robust cyber security involves implementing controls based on three pillars: people, processes and technology.
This three-pronged approach helps organisations defend themselves from both organised attacks
and common internal threats, such as accidental breaches and human error.
Technologies ttacks. Effective against the systems, networks and technologies.

Several killed in Adamawa attack - The Nation Newspaper
by https://www.facebook.com/CheerfulpraiseOnimisi Alao, Yola
A number of people are believed to have died on both sides in a confrontation between suspected herdsmen who attacked a community in Adamawa State and some members of the community who resisted the attackers.
Residents of the affected village, Shuwa-Kala’a, in Hong Local Government Area, who spoke on the incident, could not ascertain casualty figure by the time of filing this report Saturday evening, but they said people must have died among the attackers and among those who rose in challenge.
One of the local sources, Sani Ahmed, said the attackers began by robbing a particular resident, and then going about their bigger mission afterwards.
“This morning the herdsmen attacked and robbed a man who went to the farm to bring home his harvest. He returned and had barely informed the community of what happened to him when we saw them coming from all areas,” Sani said.
He added, “Our local vigilante guys quickly mobilized and put up resistance and were able to repel them. Yes, there are casualties on both sides, but I cannot ascertain whether there were fatalities.”

The Adamawa State Police Command was yet to respond adequately to the development up to Saturday evening when this report was being concluded.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Suleiman Nguroje, told our correspondent on phone that he was yet to get the briefing he was expecting from the police formation in the affected area

<Visual C# 2010 - IronPython Sample ReadMe
This example shows how to integrate Visual C# 2010 and IronPython using the new 'dynamic' feature added in C# 4.0
To run the sample, you will need to install IronPython 2.6.1,
which is a available as a separate download. It may also work with more recent versions of IronPython.
After installing IronPython you may need to update this sample by replacing the following assembly references:
- IronPython
- IronPython.Modules
- Microsoft.Dynamic
- Microsoft.Scripting
To do so:
- Open the Solution Explorer and navigate to the References node.
- Remove the assemblies listed above.
- Right-Click the References node and choose Add Reference.
- Browse to the directory where you installed IronPython.
By default, IronPython is installed under "C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.6 for .NET 4.0" on 32-bit systems and "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.6 for .NET 4.0" on 64-bit systems.
- Select and add new references to the assemblies listed above.
After you have updated the project references, the program should compile and run without error.

Native HTML5 Drag and Drop is not easy to work with! The Dart HTML5 Drag and Drop library was created to use HTML5 Drag and Drop in a consistend way across all modern browsers. Here are some examples of how to use it.
Features
- Make any HTML Element
draggable
. - Create
dropzones
and connect them withdraggables
. - Rearrange elements with
sortables
(similar to jQuery UI Sortable). - Support for
touch events
on touch screen devices. - Same functionality and API for IE9+, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
- Uses fast native HTML5 Drag and Drop of the browser whenever possible.
- For browsers that do not support some features, the behaviour is emulated. This is the case for IE9 and partly for IE10 (when custom drag images are used).
API and Examples are inspired by HTML5 Sortable, jQuery UI (Draggable, Droppable, Sortable) and Touch Punch.
For installation instructions, download and source code see- Dart HTML5 Drag and Drop on GitHub.
You are welcome to contribute by reporting an Issue or forking the repository.
Draggable and Dropzone
Drag the documents over the trash, and drop them.
Dragging Divs
All HTML elements with the draggable="true" attribute can be dragged - well...almost. Internet Explorer 9 does not support this attribute. To get the same behaviour for all browsers, drag and drop events are emulated in IE9. Try the following example in IE9.
Note: The draggable="true" attribute is automatically added to draggables, so there is no need to set it in HTML.
Drop Effects
The drop effect controls the feedback that is given when hovering over the target element. The browser's cursor can take on one of the following forms: 'move', 'copy', 'link', and 'none'. If 'none' is used, dropping on the target is not possible.
Custom Drag Images
HTML5 drag and drop supports setting of custom drag images in place of the auto-generated drag overlay.
IE9 and IE10 do not support this. To get the same behaviour, a custom drag image is emulated: An image is manually created and moved together with the mouse (similar to what jQuery IU does).
Dropping on Nested Elements
In its original form, HTML5 dragEnter and dragLeave events of an element also fire when dragging over a child element. This makes it very hard to distinguish important events from unimportant ones. The dart html5_dnd library ensures that only the relevant events (entering or leaving the main element) are fired.
Sortable List
Reorder Elements. Notice the behaviour when dragging a smaller element over a bigger element.
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 4
- Item 5
- Item 6
Sortable Grid
Reorder elements inside a grid.
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 4
- Item 5
- Item 6
- Item 7
- Item 8
Only Allow Drag on Handles
Items can only be dragged with the handle.
- :: Item 1
- :: Item 2
- :: Item 3
- :: Item 4
- :: Item 5
- :: Item 6
Prevent Drag on Some Elements
Starting a drag can be prevented on specified elements. In this example, drag can only be started on the outer div.
By default, elements of type input, textarea, button, select, or option are not draggable.
Two Sortable Groups
Two sortable groups that are connected with each other.
Elements in the right group display an icon when dragged, elements in the left group display the dragged element. Whenever an element changes group it is uninstalled from the previous group and installed in the new group.
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 4
- Item 5
- Item 6
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 4
- Item 5
- Item 6

Transmogrify v0.2beta0 documentation
This is any string that is shared between the various servers involved. It is used to create the SHA1 hash. The SHA1 hash is simply used to prevent external sites from requesting arbitrary image alterations.
Default: ""
This turns on debug mode, which returns more descriptive error messages and stack traces.
Default: False
This is the root from where the images are located. If TRANSMOGRIFY_BASE_PATH is /home/media/, a request for file /images/spanish_inquisition.png is looked for at /home/media/images/spanish_inquisition.png. The request’s path can be altered with TRANSMOGRIFY_PATH_ALIASES.
Default: /home/media/
Typically the location of the original file to modify is derived from:
TRANSMOGRIFY_BASE_PATH + requested_url
Sometimes this isn’t very useful, as the actual paths of the files don’t make for good URLs. TRANSMOGRIFY_PATH_ALIASES allows you to set regular expressions to alter incoming URLs.
TRANSMOGRIFY_PATH_ALIASES is a dictionary of {'<url_regex>': '<sub_regex>'}. Each request is matched against the keys. The first match is substituted using that key’s value. For example if your images were stored in /home/www/assets/images/, but the URL was /media/images/, you would set:
TRANSMOGRIFY_BASE_PATH = "/home/www"
TRANSMOGRIFY_PATH_ALIASES = {'/media/':'/assets/'}
so requests for /media/images/sample.jpg converts into /assets/images/sample.jpg and when added to /home/www you get the file.
Default: {}
Allows for the use of simple lighttpd vhosts. This hasn’t been fully tested yet.
Default: False
Used with TRANSMOGRIFY_USE_VHOSTS to locate the original document.
Default: ""
Allows for a generic image to return if the original file isn’t found.
Default: ""

While I was level 29, the experience per kill jumped from the average 50s and 60s to exactly 102xp. When I hit 30 it returned to normal. I believe Shupter and/or ffrank experience the same thing. These experience values are all as when in a party.

I just started leveling again since I have a little more hp and armor from buffs/upgraded rings. I noticed that trolls give me 11xp a kill, and liches give 12xp a kill. The lich xp especially seems a little low. Is this normal or a bug? I don't know if you are using intel to raise/lower xp gain, but it's 38.

This is a bug. It'll be fixed when chaos gets pushed back again.

Government plane from Mexico - offering Morales asylum - refuels in Peru
by Marco AquinoSANTIAGO (Reuters) - A government plane from Mexico - which has offered Bolivia’s outgoing President Evo Morales political asylum - has refuelled in Lima on the way to Bolivia, Peru’s foreign ministry said on Monday evening.
In a statement the ministry said the plane left for Bolivia at 6:30 p.m. (2330 GMT).
“This decision is consistent with our obligations arising from the Caracas Convention of 1954 on Diplomatic Asylum,” it added.
Morales was granted asylum by Mexico, who asked that the leftist leader be granted safe passage to leave Bolivia.

He took hold of a straight-backed chair and moved it slowly and steadily into the hall near the front door and climbed up on it and stood for a moment like a statue on a pedestal, his wife standing under him, waiting. Then he reached up and pulled back the grill of the air-conditioning system and reached far back inside to the right and moved still another sliding sheet of metal and took out a book. Without looking at it he dropped it to the floor. He put his hand back up and took out two books and moved his hand down and dropped the two books to the floor. He kept moving his hand and dropping books, small ones, fairly large ones, yellow, red, green ones. When he was done he looked down upon some twenty books lying at his wife’s feet.


The site of Tughlaqabad has an uncanny resemblance to the ruins of Mohenjo-Daro-Harappa. The place is a beautiful piece of craft showing the advanced heightened techniques of our ancestors from architectural to engineering skills to make artificial lakes, fortresses and high citadels.Source
Tughlaqabad Fort is a ruined fort in Delhi, built by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, the founder of Tughlaq dynasty, of the Delhi Sultanate of India in 1321, as he established the third historic city of Delhi, which was later abandoned in 1327. It lends its name to the nearby Tughlaqabad residential-commercial area as well as the Tughlaqabad Institutional Area. Tughlaq also built Qutub-Badarpur Road, which connected the new city to the Grand Trunk Road. The road is now known as Mehrauli-Badarpur Road. The entry fee for the Fort is Rs. 20 for Indians. Also, nearby is Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range and Okhla Industrial Area.
Surroundings are an important biodiversity area within the Northern Aravalli leopard wildlife corridor stretching from Sariska Tiger Reserve to Delhi. Historical place around sanctuary are Badkhal Lake (6km northeast), 10th century ancient Surajkund reservoir and Anangpur Dam, Damdama Lake, Tughlaqabad Fort and Adilabad ruins (both in Delhi). It is contiguous to the seasonal waterfalls in Pali-Dhuaj-Kot villages of Faridabad, the sacred Mangar Bani and the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary. There are several dozen lakes formed in the abandoned open pit mines in the forested hilly area of Delhi range.
Ghazi Malik was a feudatory of the Khalji rulers of Delhi, India. Once while on a walk with his Khalji master, Ghazi Malik suggested that the king build a fort on a hillock in the southern portion of Delhi. The king jokingly told Ghazi Malik to build the fort himself when he would become king.
In 1321, Ghazi Malik drove away the Khaljis and assumed the title of Ghias-ud-din Tughlaq, starting the Tughlaq dynasty. He immediately started the construction of his fabled city, which he dreamt of as an impregnable, yet beautiful fort to keep away the Mongol marauders. However, destiny would not be as he would have liked.
The Curse of Nizamuddin Auliya
Ghias-ud-din is usually perceived as a liberal ruler. However, he was so passionate about his dream fort that he issued a dictate that all labourers in Delhi must work on his fort. Saint Nizamuddin Auliya, a Sufi mystic, got incensed as the work on his baoli (well) was stopped. The confrontation between the Sufi saint and the royal emperor has become a legend in India. The saint uttered a curse which was to resonate throughout history right until today.
The Death of the ruler
Another of the saint's curses was Hunuz Dilli door ast (Delhi is still far away). The Emperor was engrossed in a campaign in Bengal at this time. He was successful and was on his way to Delhi. However, his son, Muhammad bin Tughlaq, met him at Kara in Uttar Pradesh. Allegedly at the prince's orders, a Shamiana (Tent) was made to fall on the Emperor, who was crushed to death (1324).

Having had discussions with co-workers on the utility of private methods and recently on the scala mailing list, there’s been the notion that private methods (or even protected methods) are code smells – indicators that there is something wrong with the design of your code. I believe in many cases they can be, but that private (and protected) methods still have their uses, especially in maintaining a clean design under constraints of getting things done. First, we need to know what we are talking about.
Definitions
While the technical meaning of access modifiers varies with the language, the intent these concepts communicate is what we’re talking about here. I assert that the intent of public/protected/private is (and/or should be) as follows:
- public - this method is part of the published API and will not change within major versions of the class
- protected - this method is a hook for modifying the behavior of this class using subclasses. It, too, will not change within major versions of the class (of course, it also might exist for code-reuse internal to the class hierarchy).
- private - this method was refactored out of a well tested public or protected method for reasons of clarity or internal re-use. This method may absolutely change, even in patch releases, and should not be relied upon to even exist
- package private (bonus for Java) - this method was written by someone lazy or ignorant, or by someone who acknowledges that this code should be pulled out into its own class, but hasn’t done so, yet still wants to test it separately, thus breaking encapsulation.
Why would private methods be code smells?
The most concise argument is that private methods could indicate that the class that contains them is doing too many things. Consider this code from shorty, my URL shortener:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 |
|
Is it totally clear what this method does? If not, it basically checks that the directory configured for our database exists and is a directory, giving us a specific error message if not. It’s a bit long and full of error checking, so the meat where it creates our URI hasher and gives it to the servlet is somewhat obscured. Here’s a cleaned up version:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 |
|
We’ve added lines of code, but our public method is a lot clearer: we get the dir for our DB; if we get a “right”, we have a usable dir, and if we get a “left” (the Scala convention for an error), we have the error message to use for our exception.
So, is getDBDir
now a code smell? This is a private method and, this means that contextInitialized
was tested and we extracted the private method as step three of the TDD “Test/Fix/Refactor” cycle.
Of course, getDBDir
has nothing to do with the ServletContextListener
and is really all about checking for a valid path. So, we should extract it to a new class, right?
Well, if we did do that, we’ve now actually added a public API to our codebase. Unless we make the new class completely private to the enclosing class, we’ve now introduced a new public class that must be tested and managed as part of our system’s public API.
I don’t see the benefit to doing that. I don’t particularly want this method to be in the public API (at least not now). So, what about making it a private inner class? That doesn’t seem to be much different than what we have now, though it might save a few minutes on a future extraction.
When IS this a code smell?
This was a simple example. Consider a class like SignedUrl
in my Gliffy Ruby client. This class has a fair number of private methods and, overall, is pretty large. The private methods are vague things like handle_params
and get_signing_key
. The private methods aren’t really the problem, however; They are a symptom of the fact that this class is just doing too many things. A better design would be to split this class up into something like a UrlParams
, UrlSigner
and UrlAssembler
(just off the top of my head). The result would be more smaller classes, each with fewer public and private methods.
What about protected methods?
In Ruby, you don’t see a lot of protected methods. In well-designed Java frameworks (such as Spring), you’ll see them as I’ve described above: hooks into a helper class that allow you to customize how that class behaves via subclassing. In non-library code, protected methods tend to get used for code-reuse in narrowly-focused class hierarchies. For example, the project I’m working on has a BaseController
that provides common methods to the actual web controllers. Having used protected methods for both of these purposes, I think that, honestly, both can be code smells.
Protected methods as hooks
In the case of providing “hooks”, I think it’s clear that by providing them at all, you are acknowledging that your class might be poorly designed (or that your language lacks the expressiveness to better design it). Consider the venerable (and now deprecated) SimpleFormController
, a Spring MVC class that provides many protected-method hooks, one of which is protected Map referenceData(HttpServletRequest request)
. This is called during the lifecycle of the controller to get any data needed by the form that should be available to the view (for example, a list of U.S. states from the database). Your subclass of SimpleFormController
overrides this to provide the data as a map.
Why not create an interface called ServletRequestToReferenceData
that contains this method, and inject an instance into SimpleFormController
? This would be very Spring-like. My guess as to why this isn’t the case is that there is simply too much overhead in making yet another one-method interface and the designer of SimpleFormController
just felt this was a reasonable tradeoff.
In Scala, however, this could simply take a function:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
|
In Ruby, the overhead of creating a new class isn’t nearly as onerous, and we could still inject a block as we do in Scala.
Ultimately, I would say that you have to make a tradeoff here, and it has to take the language and frameworks into account; a class with many, many hooks might be a code smell, but using it as a means to avoid language ceremony in the name of OO purity is probably a reasonable design tradeoff.
Protected methods as code sharing
This use of protected methods is harder to justify, but incredibly handy. Still, this could be another case of Java (e.g.) not providing the necessary language features to make class extraction more straightforward. As mentioned, in my current application, I have a BaseController
. It has a helper method as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
|
Because of Spring MVC, we have specialized exceptions for HTTP errors, such as “NOT_FOUND”. Here we contain the logic to identify the id of the logged-in person as well as the check for existence. Having this available to all controllers in the entire system is very handy.
But, is this a code smell?
We could make a class that does this, turning this code:
1
|
|
into this:
1
|
|
creating a one method class that has many lines of injected dependencies and other boilerplate with a few actual lines of code.
I think this is yet another case of pragmatically dealing with language ceremony. In Scala or Ruby, the overhead of creating re-usable bits of code like this is far lower than for Java; In Scala one could envision a simple function, possibly with some implicit parameters. Ultimately, “too much” of this sort of thing should be a code smell, but small bits of this, in the name of simplicity, clarity, and simply keeping the codebase smaller isn’t an automatic red flag.
Conclusions
So, are non-public methods code smells? If we take the wikipedia definition, which is clear that a code smell indicates merely the possibility of deeper problems in your code, then, yes, private and protected methods are code smells.
But, should they be avoided at all costs? Absolutely not. There’s many valid reasons to use them, and they do not deserve the blame for an ill-conceived class. Coding in the real world is about tradeoffs; we have to do the best thing we can with the time, resources, and tools at our disposal. These tradeoffs may not result in an According-to-Hoyle OO (or functional) design, but we’re not writing code to provide examples of programming paradigms or design patterns; we’re writing it to accomplish something and provide value. And, as professionals, we need to do it at a predictable rate that doesn’t incur too much technical debt.

Georgian police move to disperse large protest in Tbilisi
by The Associated PressMOSCOW (AP) — Police in riot gear in the country of Georgia are trying to push thousands of demonstrators away from the parliament building in the capital on the second day of sizeable protests over the failure of promised election reforms.
Officers in black helmets and riot shields advanced down Rustaveli Prospekt, Tbilisi’s main avenue, while other police jostled with demonstrators trying to storm into the parliament.
The protests Monday were sparked by last week’s vote in parliament against a proposed change to the country’s electoral system to ensure that all seats in the legislature are assigned by proportional representation, instead of around half.
The change had been promised by the governing Georgian Dream party in the wake of massive demonstrations in June.

Mangeshkar, 90, was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital after she complained of difficulty in breathing in the early hours of Monday.
In a statement, her PR team said, "We are as happy as you are to inform you that with all your prayers and best wishes, Lata didi is doing much better. Thank You for being there. God is great."
In her over seven-decade career, Mangeshkar has sung more than 30,000 songs across languages.
She is considered one of the greatest playback singers in Indian cinema. She received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour, in 2001.
Mangeshkar's last full Hindi album was for the late filmmaker Yash Chopra-directed 2004 film "Veer-Zaara".


Stasis theory offers a set of questions that creates both an engaging and well designed abstract about your topic. For information about stasis theory, read this article from the Purdue Owl.
An elevator pitch is a short, concise description of a topic that is both engaging to read and clearly explains your idea to your listener. Ensuring that your project pitch is engaging allows for more interest in your project and provides you with more interested applicants.
 In your conjecture you should describe the problem you are addressing and then, briefly, state that your idea as a solution to this problem. Your solution to the problem should be a brief abstract in this section.
This section should be wear you describe your solution to the problem. It is important that you flesh out your description of the solution and provide specifics to solve your problem. The more specific the better in this section.
The more information the better! The goal of an elevator pitch is to provide as much information as possible while continuing to be engaging. As long as you are not providing useless information (boring specifics or topics that don't apply to your idea) or repeating anything else that you have already said then you are fine.
Images are important for keeping the pitch engaging, however, they should only be used if they relate to your topics. Quality is much more important than quantity and unecessary pictures will only hurt your project pitch.

xml2abc
xml2abc is a command line utility that translates MusicXML into ABC+ notation.
Parts of MusicXML that lie beyond the scope of the ABC standard 2.1 are not translated.
For example: specific positioning information, slurs spanning staves.
The program translates all examples in the set from MakeMusic.
The translated examples produce reasonable score when typeset with abcm2ps.
In Mandoline, one of the samples,
you can compare the output of xml2abc (via abcm2ps) with that of MuseScore 1.2.
Another example from the set produces this score: Ave_Maria (Schubert).
(see also the generated ABC of Mandoline_abc and Ave_Maria_abc)
All non standard extensions of ABC supported by
abc2xml
are also supported by xml2abc. For instance, tablature
and percussion scores can be translated from MusicXML into ABC and back to MusicXML,
without significant loss of information.
Usage:
When you have Python installed:
> python xml2abc.py [-h] [-u] [-m] [-c C] [-d D] [-v V] [-n CPL] [-b BPL] [-o DIR] [-x] [-p FMT] [-t] [-s] file1 [file2 ...]
When you use the Win32 executable:
> xml2abc.exe [-h] [-u] [-m] [-c C] [-d D] [-v V] [-n CPL] [-b BPL] [-o DIR] [-x] [-p FMT] [-t] [-s] file1 [file2 ...]
Translates all .xml files (MusicXML) or compressed .mxl files in the file list
to ABC-notation. Output goes to stdout unless the -o option is given. Wildcards in
file names are expanded.
- Option -h prints help message with explanation of the options.
- Option -u turns off repeat translation and unfolds simple repeats instead.
- Option -m M When M=1 only %%MIDI program commands are output. For a percussion voice
also %%MIDI channel and %%MIDI drummap statements are added.
When M=2 all supported midi commands are output:
%%MIDI channel, %%MIDI program, %%MIDI contol 7, %%MIDI control 10 and
%%MIDI drummap for a percussion voice. The default is M=0, which outputs no midi commands.
- Option -c C sets the filter level of the credit filter. This filter tries to eliminate
redundant T: fields. The level C goes from 0 (default) to 6 (no filtering). A higher level
does less filtering. The default filters as much as possible and only includes the xml
credit elements if no title of movement-title is found. Level 6 does no filtering and includes
all xml credit elements as T: fields.
- Option -d D sets the unit length for the ABC output to L:1/D. This overrides the computation
of the optimal unit length per voice.
- Option -v V. The default (V=0) translates volta backets in all voices. V=1 prevents abcm2ps to
write volta brackets on all but the first voice. (A %%repbra 0 command is added to each voice that
hides its volta's.) When V=2 abcm2ps only typesets volta brackets on the first voice of each
xml-part. When V=3 the volta brackets are only translated for the first abc voice, which has the
same effect on the output of abcm2ps as V=1, but the abc code is not suited for abc2midi.
- Option -n CPL sets the maximum line length for ABC output to CPL characters. The default is
100 chars per line. An integer number of bars, at least one, is always output. How many bars fit into the
maximum line length is calculated from the note line, not from the lyric lines.
Line- and page breaks in MusicXML are translated to '$' after the previous barline [or volta number]
- Option -b BPL sets the number of bars per line. Every line of ABC will have BPL
bars (measures). When both -n and -b options are given -b is ignored.
- Option -o DIR translates every .xml file to a separate .abc file with the same name
into directory DIR. For example, -o. puts all abc files into the same directory where
the input files reside.
- Option -t translates percussion (perc) and tablature (tab) staves to ABC code using
%%map and %%voicemap. It also prepends a %%beginsvg ... %%endsvg section
with definitions for noteheads.
For percussion only the following MusicXML noteheads are supported:
x, circle-x, square, triangle and diamond.
The tablature translation can map one note (one ABC pitch) to at most 4 different strings (per voice).
If you use more strings for one note (in one voice), it will reject those mappings. Mapping of
one note to three different strings is abc2midi compatible.
See tutorial
for more explanation and examples.
- Option -s Shift note heads in a tab staff 3 units to the left. This will draw the note heads
straight above the stems. However, ties and dots with seem shifted too much to the right. This option
only takes effect when also -t is present.
- Option -x disables translation of xml line breaks. No abc score line breaks ($) will be output.
- Option --v1 allocates all XML staff directions to the first voice of the staff. Normally a staff
direction is allocated to the voice of the next note after the direction (if any).
- Option --noped disables translation of xml pedal elements.
- Option -p FMT, FMT=scale,pageheight,pagewidth,leftmargin,rightmargin,topmargin,botmargin. The
specified pageformat parameters are included in the generated abc code as pseudo instructions (%%scale,
%%pageheight etc.) For example: -p 0.7,25,15,1.2,1.2,1.2,1.2 sets the scale to 0.7, the page height
to 25 cm, the page width to 15 cm and all margins to 1.2 cm. After -p should follow 7 (floating point)
numbers separated by comma's and without any spaces! Alle measures are in centimeter (cm). The scale
value is the same as used by abcm2ps, i.e. a floating point number somewhere around 1.0
- Option -pf (this is option -p without number list) Enables the translation of xml page format
specifications into abc page format instructions (%%pageheight etc).
- Option -i tells xml2abc to read XML data from standard input. When writing
the an output file with option -o the name of the output file is stdin.xml.
