When programming in python it is possible to access the kdb database, changing values of existing keys, adding and deleting keys and a few other things.
In order to being able to use kdb, obviously, you at first need to import kdb
. You need access to an python-object of kdb. This is accomplished by calling kdb.KDB()
and saving this to a variable because later on this object will be needed for various operations. The easiest way to do this would be: ``` import kdb with kdb.KDB() as k: print 'Hello world! I have a kdb-instance! :D'
```
A keyset is basically a list of the keys that lie within the specified range of the databse. When creating an empty keyset this range is obviously zero. It is possible to load the whole database into a keyset but in a lot of cases this is not needed and you can specify which keys exactly you need (which I mean with specified range). At first it is necessary to create a new keyset. When simply calling kdb.KeySet()
the keyset is of size 0. There is no restriction to the keyset's size. It is possible to specify a certain (maximum) size for a keyset. To load keys into to keyset from the database you simply call the method get
provided by the kdb-object.
``` import kdb with kdb.KDB() as k:
ks = kdb.KeySet() print len(ks) # should be 0
k.get(ks, '/path/to/keys') ```
It is also possible to iterate as expected over a keyset and use len, reversed and copying. The elements of a keyset can be accessed by indexes and a keyset can be sliced. Another way of accessing a key is by the key-name (`keyset_name['/path/to/keys/key_name']`). If the key-name does not exist within the keyset, a KeyError exception is thrown.
An example that shows how to load an existing keyset and then access every key and value of the loaded keyset:
``` import kdb with kdb.KDB() as k: ks = kdb.KeySet() #loading an existing keyset k.get(ks, '/path/to/keys')
for i in ks:
print 'key: '+ str(i) + 'value: ' + str(ks[i])
```
Here an example of how you can easily check if a key exists:
``` import kdb with kdb.KDB() as k: ks = kdb.KeySet() k.get(ks, '/path/to/keys') try: print 'The value to the key /user/sw/pk/key_name is ' + str(ks['/user/sw/pk/key_name']) + '!' except KeyError: print 'The key does not exist!' ```
Ways of copying a keyset:
``` import kdb import copy with kdb.KDB() as k: ks = kdb.KeySet() k.get(ks, '/path/to/keys')
ks_deepcopy = copy.deepcopy(ks)
ks_shallowcopy = copy.copy(ks)
```
Slicing works just like for normal lists in python. But be careful: Afterwards the result will be a list - not a keyset.
``` import kdb with kdb.KDB() as k: ks = kdb.KeySet() k.get(ks, '/path/to/keys')
ks_copy_by_slicing = ks[:]
a = ks[start:end]
b = ks[start:]
c = ks[:end]
```
If you have changed anything in the keyset and want those changes to be saved to the database, you need to call set
which is just like get
provided by the kdb-object.
An example of everything up until now could look like this: ``` import kdb with kdb.KDB() as k: ks = kdb.KeySet() k.get(ks, '/path/to/keys')
k.set(ks, '/path/to/keys')
```
If you have a key a very simple way to get it's name and value:
``` import kdb with kdb.KDB() as k: ks = kdb.KeySet() k.get(ks, '/path/to/keys') for i in ks: print 'key-name: ' + i.name print 'key-value: ' + i.value print 'key-value: ' + ks.lookup(i).string ```
It is possible to create new keys:
``` import kdb with kdb.KDB() as k:
new_key = kdb.Key('/user/sw/pk/key_name', kdb.KEY_VALUE, 'key_value') ```
Keys can be added to a keyset using append
. If the key already exists, the value will be updated. Calling `keyset_name['/path/to/key'] = 'new_value` does not work for updating keys already in a keyset.
``` import kdb with kdb.KDB() as k: ks = kdb.KeySet() k.get(ks, '/path/to/keys') new_key = kdb.Key('/user/sw/pk/key_name', kdb.KEY_VALUE, 'key_value')
ks.append(new_key) newer_key = kdb.Key('/user/sw/pk/key_name', kdb.KEY_VALUE, 'other_key_value')
ks.append(newer_key) ```

yes you do: apply the constraint on de-translated versions of the vars

let's say:
translated_matrix={{0,1,2}
{3,4,5}}
so that the number of values actually correspond ;-)

you use extensional on the translated matrix.

I write A=<B1,B2,...,Bn>[I] for the element constraint.
Constrain 2 new variables XX1 and YY1 as follows:
XX1 = <9900,1234,2349,9901,2345,5678>[X1]
YY1 = <9900,1234,2349,9901,2345,5678>[Y1]
XX1 and YY1 are the de-translated versions of X1 and Y1, and you can
pose the constraint:
YY1 - XX1 < 10
> About the element constraint, I didn't got that one.
I hope the above example clears it up for you.
Cheers,

--- layout: post title: XSS and CSRF Vulnerabilities in the in_place_editing plugin categories: [] author: michael published: true date: 2009-02-28 02:58:00.000000000 +00:00 ---
We have been advised of several vulnerabilities in the in_place_editing plugin which was created prior to the 2.0.0 release of Ruby on Rails.
Users of all versions of the plugin are advised to update to the latest version contained in our git repository at:
git://github.com/rails/in_place_editing.git
For users who are unable to use git, we have provided a zip file containing the patched code. The patch containing the fix is available also.
Users of all versions of Rails prior to 2.0 are advised to stop using the in_place_editing functionality, or manually apply those changes to their version of Rails. If these changes are backported, this post will be updated to include a patch for the relevant versions of rails.
Thanks to Pawel Stradomski of Code Sprinters for reporting this bug to us and working so patiently with us to get it resolved.

Compatibility names are localized names of AddIn functions that
are used to import files from other applications.
If on import a localized function name is read, this list of
compatibility names is used to find the internal name of the
function. The current locale may differ from the locale used in
the imported file, so the method
XAddIn::getProgrammaticFuntionName cannot be used
here.
The order inside the sequence of compatibility names is used to
prioritize the names. Initially the first compatibility name of
each function is compared to the imported name (each function may
provide a sequence of compatibility names - the first entry of all
sequences is used). If no entry is equal, the second entry of each
sequence is used and so on.
If a locale is not present in the sequence of compatibility names,
the first entry of the sequence is used. So the method should return
a sequence which contains first the entry representing the current
locale.true

Obtain the gtf file by issuing the command
Use the shell script to answer the following questions
(2 pts) How large is the gtf file you just obtained (hint: check out the -h flag in the manual for ls)
(3 pts) What command would you use to view the first 5 lines of the file, and what did you learn about this annotation file (use natural language to explain what you understand from those 5 lines).
(2 pts) How many lines in this file are comments (start with a “#”)? Write down the answer and the command you used to obtain it.
(3 pts) What command would you use to view the last 5 lines of the file? How can you highlight the word “gene_name” in those lines and what gene name did you see?
(2 pts) What command can you use to view the content of the file with control (namely, you can scroll up and down), and how can you make each row be displayed in one screen line, with the overflow cutoff rather than wrapped around?
(2 pts) How can you use grep
to “remove” the comment lines in order to view the actual annotations with the command above? Write down the command (hint: use pipe)
(2 pts) How many genes are there in this build of the human genome? (hint: the third column of the file indicates the type of the feature. Use grep to select only those that match “gene”)? Write down the answer and the command you used to obtain it.
Now let’s pick a gene and learn a bit more about it. Please refer to the table below to determine which gene you will be looking up
(4 pts) Write down the command you will use to do the following: 1) select all lines that contain the gene name; 2) then select those lines from the last step that contain the word “protein_coding”; 3) finally write the output to a file named “my_gene.txt” and 4) report the total number of lines in this file. (hint: use grep
twice).
| Last name starts with | Gene name to look up |
|---|---|
| A-E | APOE |
| H-J | FOXO1 |
| K-T | SOD1 |


DockerLocal is used for setting up a site to be served on localhost:PORT
It runs on docker containers running nginx + php7.0-fpm, memcached, mysql and your project's web application files.
Git clone the DockerLocal project into your site repo's root directory, on your host machine.
Go to the commands folder: cd DockerLocal/commands/
./site-up
to run on default port 3000
./site-down
when you are done, or Ran many instances of DockerLocal, just specify a port
./site-up -p=8080
to choose a port
./site-down -p=8080
to shut down the instance on this port
Make sure ProxyLocal is up and running, and you've recently ran ./proxy-up since editing your sites.yml
./site-up -n=docker.yoursite.com -s=~
uses sites.yml* to determine the correct port.
./site-down -n=docker.yoursite.com -s=~
when you are done**
*The default path ../../../ProxyLocal/sites.yml
is indicated with s=~
, but you can specify your own location.
** For faster site-down action, you can reuse you site-up command (tap up to scroll through your cmd history)
Append -d=true: ./site-up -n=docker.yoursite.com -s=~ -d=true
REQUIRES ngrok, so go download it... symlink it to your /usr/bin/local
All the following would work, depending on which approach you used above:
./site-ngrok
(3000)
./site-ngrok -p=8080
./site-ngrok -n=docker.yoursite.com -s=~
(will be determined by mapping in sites.yml)
cd DockerLocal/commands/
./site-db -n=docker.YOURSITE.com
./site-up will safely stop and rebuild your containers, so feel free to re-run it after changing configurations.


This chart shows the number of books written each year from 1500 to 1800. An important conclusion that can be drawn here is the two explosions of growth that occur are around the years 1620 and 1715, the two years that form the , debated, lower bounds of the age on enlightenment
This chart shows the number of books published in London between 1600 and 1700. Two interesting conclusions that can be drawn from this chart is two dips in the number of books published a year.
The first could be a coicidence but it's novelty justifies its inclusion as in 1666, the year of the Great Fire of London, there were no books published in London suggesting a major disruption to normal city life caused by aforementioned great fire.
The second is a little more concrete, there is a major dip in the number of books published in the years following 1687. An argument can be made that the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the subsequent Jacobite rebellions and war with France are the cause of this dip in book publications.
This chart shows what language each book was written in. There's no real suprise that English and Latin are the two dominant languages. At the time most religious services and texts were in Latin and not the vernacular language of wherever the sermon was taking place or the text's place of publication. This change to the Catholic doctrine would only occur after the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican in 1962.

I have been prescribed to 12.5mg of zoloft daily to treat anxiety. After a month of the medication I stopped taking it because the 'kicking in' part made me depressed and I overall hated zoloft.
Looking at some reports, I found that interactions with Zoloft could be bad. I was scared at first because I did not want to stop my smoking habits. While taking 12.5mg of Zoloft daily (in the morning) I found no bad interactions or effects while ingesting Cannabis, Salvia divinorum, Caffeine, or Oxazepam (Serax - A type of benzo).
I have taken the caffeine occasionally in the morning to wake me up so I'm not sleep deprivated in school, I took one pill every other day (200mg). I don't recall smoking cannabis in the morning close to my dose of Zoloft, but I probably did. The majority of my smokings took place at night. 10 hours or more after I took my daily zoloft. Same goes with Salvia divinorum (I experienced strong effects). Oxazepam I took randomly throughout some days, can't recall how many times or at what time during the day.
A while ago I bought 2 grams of mushrooms to take. This was 2 weeks AFTER I stopped taking Zoloft. The trip was very minimal, no more than a buzz and small amount of OEVs and CEVs. It is possible that I got ripped off as or sold 'old' or 'less potent' shrooms. I do not trust the dealer I bought them from. However, Zoloft could have been the reason why I did not trip effectively.
I would like to address that I was on the smallest dose of Zoloft, this may play a role.

Easy Java Simulations (EJS) can download and install models from on-line digital libraries if your computer is connected to the internet. Contact the EJS developer, Francisco Esquembre, if you have an extensive collection of EJS models and would like to host your own EJS library. If you have a small number of EJS models you can suggest that your models be included in an already existing digital library.
Information about EJS is available at: <http://www.um.es/fem/Ejs/>.
The comPADRE Pathway, a part of the National Science Digital Library, is a growing network of educational resource collections supporting teachers and students in Physics and Astronomy. As a user you may explore collections designed to meet your specific needs and help build the network by recommending resources, commenting on resources, and starting or joining discussions. Information about the OSP comPADRE Collection is available at: <http://www.compadre.org/OSP/>.
To recommend an EJS model, visit the Suggest a Resource page in the OSP Collection. <http://www.compadre.org/osp/items/suggest.cfm>. Contact the OSP Collection editor, Wolfgang Christian, for additional information about EJS models in this collection.
The Examples Digital Library contains examples that demonstrate EJS modeling techniques. Models in this collection are organized (alphabetically) by categories in the table of contents.
The Modeling Science Digital Library contains examples from the book Modeling Science: From freefall to chaos by Francisco Esquembre and Wolfgang Christian. The models are organized by book chapter and illustrate how the creation of simulations (modeling) can be an effective tool to introduce students to a wide range of phenomena in different scientific disciplines, with an emphasis on Physics. Draft book chapters are available on the EJS and comPADRE websites.

"I wanted Café Avole to embody a feeling of fellowship year round for this neighborhood and the surrounding neighborhoods in Southeast Seattle. In order to succeed, I'v asked for financial support and the community responded. I launched an online campaign (tinyurl.com/CafeAvole) to raise a grand total of $17,407.50 to purchase the equipment needed to get Café Avole up and running."
"I'v also seeked community members who can support a street outreach team, marketing programs, business development, all skills that Café Avole needs for its mission to better our community. From there on, I've utilized my new found resources on rebuilding the community I grew up in. I am able to serve my community, as well as provide a venue for programs and organizations to come together in efforts to build a family out of Rainier Avenue, and an outlet for the youth in a positive, creative, and product manner."
"Thank you all who have made contribution towards making my vision come true, and those that continue to reach out and lend a helping hand to run events and rebuild our community we love and cherish."

If i get the game sponsored, i'll support it because i have access to all sections to MOH:W.
I don't add a donate button because i don't want ask for donations. BBLog is donation free. People should spend their money to their own things.

i like this because i hate MOH.
otherwise, why is Medal of Honor integrated in Battlelog? BATTLElog have todo with BATTLEfield, so, Medal Of Honor should have their own MOHlog, like Need for Speed have their own AUTOlog.

@brain so your saying we cant get MOH for you so WE can get BBlog for MOH thats somthing i want kinda selfish if you ask me
@ORFK its owned by EA and BF3 and MOH are produced by EA there for theres a battlelog for them and who cares if you dont like it my friend says its way better than the last one it plays more like BF3

Why should i buy the game for 60€ when i don't like it? Only to give other people support? Come on.

@brain what im saying is it selfish that you wont let us donate the money for you if people are offering take it

I never said that i don't accept donations. I only said that i do not add a button anywhere because i don't want to ask for donations. If someone really want donate, there is always a way to contact me. Selfish is the totally wrong word what you used. Or do you really want to say that the BBLog project is selfish in any way?
Uncommonly
Hey there. BBlog works fine on the moh side. There was a little problem with uploading images to platoons. I made some little changes in the code but since this is not a custom plugin I don't know where to post it. Maybe PM to you? Probably I'm not in the right place but actualy I didn't see where to post this, so excuse me.
Kind regards. Keep your awesome work on this project mate!

@brain sorry misunderstood what you were saying thats my bad and no i was not saying BBlog is selfish
@ORFK you said MOH is COD and i stated that it isnt and im still wondering how you think its COD

Till Brain don't write something else it's still NOT supported.
Asking every day the same question is not a good way.
Just wait. Brain will write a statement if he will support it or change it.

I was having many issues other than just the Platoon Emblem. Here are just a few things that are bugged for me when you're on the MoH tab with BBL installed:
Clicking Server Favorites brought you back to your BF3 server favorites
Clicking Forum brought you to the BF3 forum
The biggest one, that I am reading a LOT about online is that stats were not saving properly, it was causing issues with ranking for me. I would rank up in game and it wouldn't save any of it. I uninstalled BBL and it's been working flawlessly since.

Maybe it's working on some pages, maybe not. Because we don't support MOH:W atm are there some bugs and thinks, wich doesn't work. And THAT'S the reason for NOT SUPPORTING.
And if you're ranked up ingame and in MOH:W don't it's an MOH:W problem, not an BBLog.

I read the thread, as well as the topic and I understood completely ORFK but thanks for regurgitating it. I'm only letting everyone know what I've experienced with the NON-Supported BBL for MoH, both before and after I had the BBL extension enabled. It may be a coincidence, it may not be.

There is a better way
Version control systems (VCS) are software tools meant to help programmers collaborate, maintain source code, document changes, and generally keep track of their files. Instead of reading, sit back and watch this video.
Having a working knowledge of a version control system will allow you to better organize and track your own files, as well as collaborate on teams. Though there are lots of different systems out there, the most popular version control system is “git”. Let’s dive in (next chapter).
What is git?
Git is a software for “version control”: ie, tracking changes to sets of files. It is a very commonly used tool in programming, computer science, data science, and software development in general. For anyone working in data science, knowing git is a must.
But what is it, exactly? Git is a system for tracking, organizing, sharing, and reviewing changes to software. It’s very flexible, and very powerful. And learning it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, because it has so many features and capabilities. But the Pareto principle (ie, the 80/20 rule) applies here: most of what you need to know to competently handle git, you can do in very little time.
Why?
Why use git? Why not just save files with meaningful names, make changes to them, overwrite the old changes, etc.? Why not just treat code the same way we treat a MS Word document, or write code collaboratively using interactive, auto-saving tools like Google Docs?
There are a number reasons:
- First, writing code is not like writing a paper. If you make a mistake in the introduction of a term paper, it doesn’t “break” your conclusion. But with code, minor changes to one line of code can have a very large impact on how other parts of that code work. Therefore, tracking minor changes is essential to recovering from errors and managing complex, interdependent software components.
- Second, collaborating on code is more complex than collaborating on a term paper. To combine (merge) one person’s work with another often requires very careful review. Git optimizes for this.
- Third, code is rarely “done”. It’s usually a work in progress. Git takes this into account, and is set up for very structured checkpoints (commits), change suggestions (pull requests), etc.
- Finally, git is the “lingua franca” of version control. Employers often request to see a prospective employee’s github profile, and expect that programmers and developers of all types (including data scientists) be proficient in git.
Get ready for git
It’s time to “git” started. Rather than diving into too much theory, let’s skip right to the practice. Like this:
Installation
We’ll start by installing git. Go here and follow the instructions for your operating system.
Windows
On windows, once you’ve downloaded, you’ll want to select the below parameters:
The program will prompt you to pick a text editor. Select notepad.
For all other options, leave settings as default and click “next”. The program will now install.
After installation, there is an option to “Launch Git Bash”. Click it.
This will open a “terminal” window:
Mac
(Details on installing git on mac and opening terminal)
Getting to know git bash
The strange little black box you’re looking at is called “Git Bash”. Bash is a command line language/interface. In other words, it’s a way to interact with your computer without pointing and clicking. You type code, and the computer does things. It’ll feel a bit unfamiliar at first, but don’t worry - there are just a few commands you need to know to work with git. We’ll use the terms “bash”, “command line”, and “terminal” interchangeably (though in reality these are a bit different).
pwd
Let’s start with pwd
. This stands for “path to working directory”. Type it, press enter, and see what happens.
If everything went to plan, you’ll see a path (ie, a location within your computer’s file structure). “Working directory” means the folder you are “in” right now. Just like with a point-and-click program for exploring folders, you can navigate between folders using bash / terminal.
When you typed pwd
you were asking your computer which directory (folder) you’re in. It responded. Great! Now let’s see what else is in the folder where you are.
ls
Type ls
. This stands for “list” as in "list all the files in this directory. ls
is commonly used to quickly see contents of a folder.
cd
You now know how to (a) see where you are and (b) see what else is there. But what about navigation? Let’s say you want to “move around” (ie, go to other folders). You do this using the cd
command, which stands for “change directory”.
After typing cd
, you should type a space and then the name of the directory you want to navigate to. This directory can be either (a) relative or (b) full. “Relative” means relative to where you are. So, for example, if you are currently in the following folder:
/home/abc/folder1
And within that folder you have the following sub-folders:
foldera
folderb
folderc
You could navigate to one of them by typing the full path:
cd /home/abc/folder1/foldera
Or by typing the relative path:
cd foldera
Both of the last two commands have the same result: changing your working directory to /home/abc/folder1/foldera
.
What about if you want to navigate “up” to the /home/abc
folder. Again, you can do this using relative or full paths. To navigate there with the full path, simply type:
cd /home/abc
To go “up” one level using a relative path, use ..
. So:
cd ..
So far so good. Now you can (a) see where you are with pwd
, (b) list folder contents with ls
and (c) navigate with cd
. Those 3 command will cover 80% of what you’ll need to do to use git from the command line.
Configuration
Once you’ve installed git, you’ll likely want to configure some options and preferences. Go here and walk through the steps.
Github
Now you’ve got git. Great! Git is often used in conjunction with a third party, web-based platform. The most popular is github. Go to www.github.com and create a user account.
Creating a repository
Once you’ve created an account and logged in, let’s create a repository. What is a repository? Basically, it’s a project in the form of a folder. Having logged into git, click the “plus” icon in the upper right and then click “New repository” (or go directly here).
You can fill in the “Repository name” field with whatever you’d like. For the following examples, we’ll use the word “testrepo”.
Fill in the “Description” field with the word “My first git repository”.
Set the repo as “Public” (unless you plan on putting any secrets here!), and then click the “Add a README file” checkbox. Finally, click “Create repository”.
Cool! You’ve now created your first git repository. It’s public url is https://github.com/
Cloning a repository
“testrepo” exists on the internet, but does not yet exist on your local machine. In order to get “testrepo” on your computer, you’ll need to do something that you’ll only do once: “clone” the repo. “Cloning” in git-speak means creating a copy of the repository locally.
To clone, you’ll first open your terminal window and cd
into a directory where you’d like to clone your repo. For example, if you want to put your testrepo
directory into ~/Documents
, you’ll type the below into terminal:
cd ~/Documents
You can confirm that you are in ~/Documents
by typing: pwd
. There? Good.
Now, we’ll write the code to “clone” testrepo
:
git clone https://github.com/<USERNAME>/testrepo
Now, you’ve got a folder on your machine named testrepo
. You can confirm this by writing ls
in the terminal.
See testrepo
there? Great!
Writing some code
In your local testrepo
folder, you have a “cloned” copy of the repository at https://github.com/README.md
. A “README” file is generally an explanation of a repository’s content, purpose, etc. Like all files, a README can be tracked in git.
Let’s open the README file and make a change to it. We’ll add the below line of “code”:
This is my first git repository.
The save and close the README file.
Now, let’s ask “git” if it noticed if we had made any changes. Type the below into terminal:
git status
If everything has gone well until now, git will reply by telling us that we’ve made a change to the file. We can ask git what change we made by typing:
git diff README.md
diff
stands for “difference”, as in "what is the difference between the code I had and the code I have. Git will spit back some color-coded lines showing the change you’ve made.
Satisfied with your change? Great, now it’s time to confirm it by doing the following:
git add README.md
This tells git that we want it to notice and track the change we made to README.md
. Then:
git commit -m 'my first change'
This tells git that we are “committing” our change, it marking a checkpoint (to which we can revert later). The -m
flag is followed by a message in quotations which will help us to navigate this checkpoint in the future.
Almost there. Now that we’ve added and committed, we need to “push” our change to the remote repository (github), by running:
git push
You did it! Go to https://github.com/README.md
file. You’ll notice that your most recent changes are there. Now, if someone else wants to get your code, they can “clone” your repository, and they’ll have the code you’ve “pushed” there.

INSTINCT -------------- Review by Alex Ioshpe
8/10 - Alternative rating B -
To make a long story short - "Instinct" is a modern Tarzan-story with a dose of social critisism. Dr. Ethan Powell ( Anthony Hopkins ) has suddenly been found and imprisoned for killing two African guards after he disappeared two years ago.
He has not spoken a single word since he has been found and he has become distant and violent. Powell is then transferred to a special prison in the U.S, where helpless lunatics are beaten and discriminated by the prison guards.
Here is where Dr. Theo Calder ( Cuba Gooding, Jr. ) steps in. He is a young and so far successful psychiatrist whose task is to write an evaluation on Powell to determine why a brilliant scientist has suddenly become insane and isolated himself from his family and the rest of the world. Later Theo finds out that Powell has been living with wild gorillas for two years, instead of studding them and has somehow made a connection; became a member of the family. He has seen how the Africans killed the gorillas, how they pillaged and destroyed. That is why his violent behavior is to some point justified by mankind's "rape of the world". Slowly when Theo is venturing deep into Powell's mind, we get to witness his journey from the beginning. The African jungle is here displayed as a peaceful eden - a paradise slowly transformed into hell.
And here is the beautiful part of the film, it is also by the way the most serious part -
Powell dreams of a world where we kill only as much as we can eat, where we live like we have lived 10 000 years ago, in harmony with the nature instead of in "control" of it.
The script is serious, solid and well written, exploring the true nature of man, as well as our social and family mentality. The casting is likewise solid, but there are specially Hopkins'and Gooding's performances that are worth noticing. Stan Winston's computerized gorillas are incredibly realistic and Danny Elfman's score, although not great, is at times effective. So it's actually nothing bad to say about "Instinct".
However, instead of venturing deeper into the lost instincts and explore the true nature of man, Jon Turteltaub is concentrating his energy on the difficult conditions in the prison and Theo's romance with Powell's daughter (which by the way fails to capture my attention or emotions). The film's lack of focus is a bit disturbing. Another very important thing to notice is that it never answers the question: "What is it we should do?", "Should we throw our clothes off and return to the jungle, like Powell?" or should we all become vegetarians? My point is that "Instinct" showed us how we are like from nature's point of view - greedy, violent and stupid, sawing the branch we're sitting on. But it is never said what we should do about it. The important questions are asked, but never answered. Some of you may say that everyone should figure this one out for themselves. Maybe so, but I feel that after asking these important questions it's equally important to answer them. It's like the director was not sure himself and found the easy way out. However the film's many good moments, such as Powell's explanation of control, and solid acting saves the film. It's not a bad movie and it's not a masterpiece. It will not get any important nominations at the Oscar's, but it's a well made film with a serious and important subject worth thinking and making films about.

Lottery-winning dream leads South Carolina man to real-life jackpot
by Ben HooperNov. 25 (UPI) -- A South Carolina man said a dream of winning the lottery led to his winning a real-life $250,000 jackpot from a scratch-off ticket.
Kevin Miller of North Charleston told South Carolina Education Lottery officials he went to the Circle K store in Summerville a few days after having a dream that he won the lottery.
"I hesitated on buying the ticket, because I was in a hurry and the guy in front of me in line was taking a long time," he said.
Miller said he decided to wait to make his dream come true and his patience paid off when his $10 10s to Win scratch-off ticket yielded a $250,000 top prize.
The winner said he plans to use his dream money to buy a new house with his fiancee.

| Can
Films Help Train Lawyers? |
Recently, PJ heard from
a lawyer who was searching for a film to use in training his
interns. Here is the question the lawyer posed:
I am at a non-profit public interest law firm. Many of our interns
come expecting to do some glamorous work or spend their time
researching really interesting legal points. They view with disdain
having to review boxes of documents. I am looking for a film
to show our interns at the beginning of the summera film
that will emphasize the role of careful fact development in a
case.Your suggestion will be appreciated.
Some of the PJ editors put
on their thinking caps and responded as follows:
My personal favorite is the Costa-Gavras film, "Z".
It shows how careful fact development can lead to the highest
levels of government. [Rob Waring]
I think A Civil Action makes some good use of the importance
of developing facts and the use of documents. [Paul Joseph]
The lawyers question got us to thinking about the question
of whether there were films which could be used to help train
lawyers and whether there are any films which every lawyer should
see?
We invite the readers of PJ to post their own suggestions for
films that lawyers ought to see. Tell us the name of the film
and why it should be "required" viewing for lawyers.
Please post your comments here.
Reader responses for films
that lawyers ought to see:
From: Christine Corcos
<ccorcos at lsu.edu>
On my list of must-see films for lawyers and law students are
thefollowing: Anatomy of a Murder, valuable for the ethical
questions and for the development of the defense. Witness for the Prosecution, a lawyer with what looks like a losing
case manages to come up with a convincing story to sell the jury
(at least that's what he thinks he has done). Inherit the Wind, useful for how an attorney approaches a "no-win"
case.
From: Ioana R. Mondescu: This is a comment on the comment:
"Movies a lawyer should see" and it goes like this:
Devil's Advocate -every lawyer should see this one. This
movie is a vivid depiction of the danger inherent in identifying
yourself with your profession; it makes you think about your
personal life in relation to the ractice of law, a thing that
law school doesn't teach you and law firms never mention. This
film forces you to realize and accept that you can't have brilliance
in both.
From: K. Eaton (mahjongg at att.net)
There are a lot of fine suggestions...I would add these for your
consideration: I was shown "Gideon's Trumpet" w/Henry
Fonda in my crim. proc. class. It's got all sides in their, the
client, the judges, and attorneys. The interactions remain timely
and of course, it is about the Gideon Case, from whence all public
interest grew. Most people haven't seen it. Also "Presumed
Innocent" and "The Witness," both w/Harrison Ford,
and any of the John Grisham books on film. "The Client"
with Susan Sarandon's Reggie Love is my personal favorite.These
all bring the audience into the film and leaves them talking,
too.The drawback is here, most people have seen these.There don't
seem to be many with an ethnic star or voice yet, that isn't
about police or investigators. I guess we'll just have to wait
for those, but no doubt, they'll be as well done.

Question: I thought your site would have more on the interaction
between the law (courts & cases) and the media as in news
T.V and print news. Do you have any articles on the above?
Paul Joseph's Response: A complete list of articles can
be found in the archives (see the list on the home page). If
the article you seek is not there----write it. PJ is always looking
for submissions. See the submission guidelines on the home page. From:

Law, West Virginia University
Judith Grant (USC) referred me to the new web-site and I'm delighted
to learn of its existence. The site is timely, wonderfully simple
and the graphics a perfect fit to the subject. You'll have done
a good job and I hope to visit often. I am teaching a course
on Lawyers and Film (for the first time) in the Spring semester
and look forward to having the students in the course visit the
site and participate in the on-going discussion your reviews
and commentary (and ours in the course) may generate. From:
Caroline Van Howe <cvh at synon.com>
Great to see this kind of serious stuff on the web. I also like
the graphics - clear, clean and simple. Maybe, one day, we'll
be able to use those adjectives about Justice Itself! (or Herself). From:
Christine Corcos <ccorcos at unix1.sncc.lsu.edu>
Very nice site, easy to navigate. I hope to see more essays and
cites to recent publications. This will be a helpful site for
people doing research and trying to get a handle on the exciting
but unwieldy area of law and film. From: Denis
Le May <Denis.Lemay at bibl.ulaval.ca> University Laval,
Quebec
Graphical representations of the
law and critical appraisals of same are scarce indeed and that
seems perfectly all right considering the fact that law is primarily
a written medium in our civilization.
This being said, the rest of the world still exists and it is
with no surprise that we often see representations of the law,
justice and the legal world in graphical form (paintings, cartoons,
posters etc.).
In the videosphere, the corresponding arts are of course, movies
and television. It is thus entirely fitting and of the utmost
interest to collect many representations of justice in these
media.
Congratulations to these inspired web creators, they're the ones
who prove beyond doubt that on a clear net, you can SEE forever! From:
John Brigham <brigham at polsci.umass.edu>
I enjoyed Picturing Justice and believe I might spend a good
deal of time with it. I did some research a few years ago on
images of civil liberties because I believe that with many of
our liberties we have a picture in our mind, like the segregated
lunch counter or the burning flag. From: Anne
Phillips <Anne.Phillips at vuw.ac.nz>
I liked the web site for its witty commentary and critical analysis
of the Hollywood version of the North American legal system.
Despite being a senior member of the Bar in New Zealand I suspended
disbelief and viewed the U.S. particularly as offering a shonky
criminal justice legal system where rules were made to be broken.
Just shows the power of the silver screen and O J Simpson.
John Grisham's novels have spawned a film industry and the comments
of the reviewers on A Time To Kill and The Rainmaker
deserve wider distribution.  The Rainmaker has not
yet been released here probably because The Devil's Advocate
is playing and it is bad business to have too many lawyers as
protagonists in films. Lawyers are unpopular here too. From:
Richard B. Bernstein <rbernstein at nyls.edu> Professor,
New York Law School and Brooklyn College/CUNY I'm impressed with PICTURING JUSTICE and I will
be sending my students to visit this website. From:
Deborah B. Luyster <brumback at aol.com>
An outstanding idea and opportunity
for us to share our ideas about justice and to question our assumptions
about the concept of law in society. Thank you. From:

I'm an undergraduate student at
the University of Portsmouth in the UK. I was hoping to write
my dissertation on the device of using courtroom dramas as an
examination of prejudice. I was daunted by the lack of research

given me some fresh ideas. From: Carlos Aparicio

Greetings, I was wondering how I could acquire a copy of Khaled

Thank you, John Morgan From: tamara (ts3904

I am searching for the article What, if any one thing is a
lawyer. I was hoping you could give me the exact web address
for the article. thank you. From: Kent Anderson
(AndersonK at law.anu.edu.au) found us through: World of mouth.
Greetings. I am a senior lecturer in law (i.e., associate professor
in American English) at Australian National University. I am
planning to introduce a Law and Cinema component to the faculty;
first, informally and later academically. Earlier I had a lot
of fun teaching a Law and
Society through Popular Media course while I was an associate
professor at Hokkaido University in Japan (see http://www.cmmi.gr.jp/jalo4/pdf/anderson.pdf).
I am writing to try to locate video copies of the old Paper Chase
television series-THE PAPER CHASE (20 Century Fox; television
program, 1978, 1983, 1985). I would greatly appreciate any suggestions
of where I might find copies or even offers to lend old copies
if someone has some. NTSC tapes are fine as most players here
now allow playback on our PAL system. I would also love to see
the new First Monday series, but imagine it will probably make
its way over eventually. Thanks. Best regards. Kent

What a delightful website. I have been using films to teach my
college students ethics and other topics in philosophy for many
years, and have included movie summaries in my philosophy textbooks.
In the upcoming 5th edition of my ethics textbook, The Moral
of the Story, I will include a reference to this website
as an example of the didactic value of films in various professional
contexts.

on John Denvir's article: Ally McBeal |
From: Elisabeth Friedman <elisabeth.friedman at wmich.edu>
Department of Political Science
Subject: Ally the dimwit
I agree with your characterization of Ally McBeal as a "relationship"
show and am also distressed that this is the way a woman lawyer
who is finally worthy of her own show is presented. But I found
even more to object to in at least the first episode. Not only
is Ally more concerned with her relationships than her law practice
and cynical about her job, but also she is portrayed as shallow,
silly and easy to take advantage of. Sexual harassment, which
is a workplace-related hazard that many young women face when
moving into spheres of action that have been constructed and
are still largely maintained by men, is introduced almost immediately
in Ally's caseonly to be resolved by a) her departure from
her first job and b) having her clever, cynical, greedy new boss
bring the perpetrator to justicenot Ally. Ally gets into
ridiculous situations in the bathroom of her firm. And of course
(of course!) she wears miniskirt-based suits. Sigh. Another opportunity
wasted. From: Michael Asimow, UCLA Law School
<asimow at law.ucla.edu>
In his review of Ally McBeal, John Denvir appropriately
calls attention to the gross sexual stereotyping of the storyline.
Interestingly, however, sexual stereotyping of female lawyers
is far worse in film than on television.
In film, with the single exception of Adam's Rib, female lawyers
are invariably portrayed in a negative light. Some are merely
incompetent (Philadelphia, A Few Good Men). Some can't control
their emotions (In the Name of the Father.) Most have
appalling ethics; who could forget Maggie Ward in Class Action
betraying her client by going over to the other side or Laura
Fischer in The Verdict who functions as a sexual spy.
Many female lawyers have disastrous taste in selecting sexual
partners; Jagged Edge is one of numerous examples of female
lawyers sleeping with their clients. Most have disastrous personal
lives. In short, filmmakers invariably portray female lawyers
in film in a shockingly negative light.
In television, however, the picture is far more balanced. Ally
McBeal is somewhat exceptional, I think. Many (though not
all) of the female lawyers on L. A. Law were admirable
lawyers and human beings. Female lawyers are presented favorably
on The Practice and Law and Order.
What accounts for the differences between female lawyers on film
and TV? One difference, I believe, is that television is character-driven.
People won't tune into a series every week to see repulsive characters;
they need to identify with and like the people they invite into
their living rooms. Film, however, is more plot-driven; viewers
don't mind seeing repulsive people on the screen if they are
part of a good story.
In addition, television has to be acceptable to commercial sponsors.
Sponsors don't like too much stereotyping in entertainment products
with which they're associated; it could trigger protests. My
prediction is that Ally McBeal won't last long, but then
it's often a mistake to overestimate the taste of TV viewers.

The First Amendment to Larry Flynt was the cost of doing business.
A Nazi has the right to speak. Why not Larry Flynt? The film
confused Flynt's motive with our right to speak freely. His lawyers
made their best legal arguments. It is to our benefit that he
won the case. He has the right to speak and make a living. Isn't
the question why Hustler sells? (i.e. woman in meat grinder on
cover) Why did Milos Foreman & Oliver Stone portray Larry
Flynt as a hero? Because he paid his lawyers? From:

I found your site engaging and thought-provoking. And I appreciate
the link to The OYEZ Project! Might
be interesting to compare The People v. Larry Flynt with
the actual argument in Hustler v. Falwell. But you have plenty
of good ideas on your own. Count
on me to visit again. I'll be sure to alert my students to your
work.

on Wilda White's article: Imagine ... Justice (A Time to Kill) |
From: M. Jane Lawhon <MJaneLawhon at compuserve.com>
Excellent article. I wondered what ever happened to Wilda L.
White. I used to read her incisive commentary when she wrote
for the Miami Herald. From: David Fielding
<dhfielding at aol.com>
All well said, but not long after I read Ms. White's comments,
I was visited in my daydreams by an apparition who said, "yeah,
but they got what they deserved." As for Ms. White's whereabouts,
I too would like to hear more from her. She's really a straight
shooter.

on Michael Asimow's article: The Practice |
From: Shelley Johnson <sjohnson at mfi.com>
The Practice is one my my favorite shows of all time.
I have been paying attention to the credits on episodes I've
seen, and usually the episodes have been written by the excellent
David E. Kelley. The episode where Ellenor is sued by a hapless
podiatrist for emotional distress when she refuses to go out
with him was riveting.
The man playing the black lawyer (right now I can't think of
his name) is one of the best actors on TV. I've seen him in guest
shots on other shows, and he is always phenomenal. I'm so glad that the show is not being
cancelled. I hear that folks love Ally McBeal,and I find
it incredibly tiresome... From: John Denvir
<denvirj at usfca.edu>
I wholeheartedly agree with Michael Asimow's suggestion that
The Practice episode on the death penalty deserves an
Emmy. I'd say it was more effective than Dead Man Walking.
While Jimmy was great in that episode, I think his sweet shyness
is starting to get a bit cloying. I would suggest the best character
is Lara
Flynn Boyle as the sexually predatory acid-tongued prosecutor,
a girl not at all like dear old mom. From: Stacy
Caplow <scaplow at brooklaw.edu>
My biggest dilemma this semester is how to get home from my Monday
night class in time to watch The Practice. Almost every
show raises an ethical issue which is worth chewing over. Although
it is almost impossible to raise such issues without resorting
to excesses in order to enhance the dramatic conflict, the core
issues are always provocative. I
also think Eugene is the most skillful trial attorney ever depicted
on T.V. His cross-exam of an eyewitness in a mugging was masterful
and succinct. His United States of America summations are brilliant,
and all the more so because the viewer is on to his trick. Finally,
while the show was still on Saturdays at 10 PM, when those of
us with no social life were first hooked, Eugene handled the
case of a one-legged mugger who lied on the stand. This episode
was a terrific example of how storytelling can be persuasive.
Since the client told Euegene in mid-trial that his previous
story had been a lie, Eugene had to put on a "narrative"
direct. The defendant told a wonderful story about how people
(the victim) refuse to look at homeless, one-legged beggars so
naturally she wouldn't be able to tell him from his friend, the
other one-legged beggar down the street. Catch it in reruns if
you missed it.
PS I have my 11-year old son tape Ally McBeal. I am a
shameless fan.

on Stan Ross' article: Brilliant Lies |
From: Jo Flack <jflack at labyrinth.net.au>
The film Brilliant Lies was based on the play of the same
name and is, in fact, very close to the original play being very
"stagey" in its approach and almost word for word the
same as the original. The only additions are the flashbacks which
the audience is left to construct in the stage version. The characterizations,
issues and
point of view are mostly accurate reflections of an Australian
understanding of the problem.Your site is very good and as a
teacher of media studies in Victoria, Australia I shall be recommending
it to my students. BTW Brilliant Lies is currently being
studied by final year high school students as a set text in English.

on Paul Joseph's article: Ultima Online |
From: Colin Glassey <cglassey at teleologic.com>
I commend Mr. Joseph for his willingness to treat Ultima Online
(UO) seriously. I think UO raises even more interesting
questions than Mr. Joseph mentions. For example: many player
created "guilds" have come into existence. Are these
guilds any less "real" than the "Elks Lodge"
of Albany? Some players have acknowledged
another player as the "Mayor" of one city in the game
(Ponfar the Mayor of Yew). Is he in fact the "Mayor"
of this city? Things exist
in many ways (from administrative boundaries all the way to money
itself) simply because a large group of people agree that they
exist. Is it not possible that elements within this "virtual
reality" could take on a meaning beyond that of the game?
John Perry Barlow argued a year and a half ago that the Internet
was "independent" from current governments. I can see
a time when "citizens" of a virtual world based on
the Internet will hold more allegiance to their virtual world,
than they do to their current "physical" residence.
Will they be right in some meaningful sense? From:
Theodore Fritz <janfritz at mail.bright.net>
I am an avid UO player, who has been seriously disappointed
with the apparent and complete dishonesty with almost every other
player in the game. I am thrilled that someone else has noticed
this... believe me I wish that there was some way to enforce
better conduct besides just asking people to help "gang"
up on the more infamous of killers. I have had several bad experiences
on UO and am considering canceling my account because
they (unethical players) are getting so far out of hand. So far
I have encountered con men, thieves, liars, and killers. I am
disgusted with the lack of consequence that these actions have...
Ted apprentice miner (GL) from Minoc From: Lee
Marrs <LEEMARRS at aol.com>
Another older game to check online is Meridian 59, which faced
related violent behavior to UO. The guardians merely removed
rampant killers from playing the game rather than dealing with
their avatars inside game play. The same held for other types
of persistent hassling. The good vigilante groups popped up immediately
at M59, as well as a tendency for male players to choose female
avatars. This came from an observed pattern that females were
less likely to be instantly attacked - conversation was almost
always the initial behavior. This protected "good behavior"
newbies & provided "bad behavior" vets with a disarming
moment to attack them! Don't know M59's current state 'cause
I'm in the Mac universe now & it's PC.

on Rob Waring's article: Amistad |
From: Lizette Arana <110214.637 at compuserve.com>
Entertaining, maybe a bit long but the whole concept of picture
justice makes it unique and is not that true of law creeping
inside all of us in one way or another. Then again, one can practically
sue someone for anything even for a cup of coffee that is hotter
than it's supposed to be. txs! From: Paul Romaine
<romaine at gilderlehrman.com>
Nice site. Rob Waring says that Justice Joseph Story doesn't
include JQA's arguments before the court because "he failed
to submit it." JQA did publish them separately. (Reprinted
in 1968 or 1969 by Arco.)
Howard Jones in his definitive study of the Amistad case
(Oxford, 1989; rev. 1997), writes that Story dismissed JQA's
arguments (as irrelevant, per Jones) and used Baldwin's strictly
legal arguments to arrive at his decision. It's hard to believe
that justices like Taney would [have] accept[ed] Story's decision
if he had used JQA's arguments. Read Jones, who used Story's
diary. From: Lauren Gilbert <gilbert
at wcl.american.edu>
Just a small comment regarding the discussion of Amistad.
At several points, the commentator refers to the film as having
a "happy ending". It is important to recall that when
the main character returned to his village in Sierra Leone, he
found that it had been destroyed and his family killed in an
internal conflict. I thought Amistad was a great movie
about slavery and about the legal system, but it certainly didn't
have a happy ending. From: Bill and Joan Coleman
<wpc at wpcmath.com>
We liked the review of Amistad very much, and were impressed
by its thoughtfulness. However, on the main issue, we would like
to respectfully disagree. We
have posted a review on our site
http://www.wpcmath.com/films/amistad/amistad.html that discusses
yours extensively, and would like to hear your comments.
We hope we have made it clear,
both here and in our review, that this is much more of a fan
letter than a flame.
