Many times its desirable to traverse a particular path and if some criteria is met along that path, then go back to the element from n-steps ago. Examples of such uses cases include:
g = TinkerGraphFactory.createTinkerGraph()
The query below says, in plain English: “What are the ages of the people that know people that are 30+ years old?” The call to back(2)
refers to the elements 2 steps ago that have paths up to the back(2)
step (i.e. back to the V
step). In the example below, back(2)
“wraps” out('knows').has('age', T.gt, 30)
.
gremlin> g.V.out('knows').has('age', T.gt, 30).back(2).age
==>29
gremlin> g.V.as('x').outE('knows').inV.has('age', T.gt, 30).back('x').age
==>29
A more complicated example is provided over the Grateful Dead graph diagrammed in Defining a More Complex Property Graph.
g = new TinkerGraph()
g.loadGraphML('data/graph-example-2.xml')
The example query below states the following:
89
(Dark Star).gremlin> g.v(89).out('followed_by').out('sung_by').has('name','Garcia').back(2).name
==>EYES OF THE WORLD
==>SING ME BACK HOME
==>MORNING DEW
==>HES GONE
==>CHINA DOLL
==>WHARF RAT
==>BROKEDOWN PALACE
==>TERRAPIN STATION
==>DEAL
==>ATTICS OF MY LIFE
==>COMES A TIME
==>STELLA BLUE
==>BERTHA
In order to determine how many steps to go back, the GremlinPipeline.toString()
can be handy for displaying all the steps in an expression.
gremlin> println g.v(89).out('followed_by').out('sung_by').has('name','Garcia')
[StartPipe, OutPipe(followed_by), OutPipe(sung_by), PropertyFilterPipe(name,EQUAL,Garcia)]
==>null
Now, using the back
step, notice how back(3)
wraps 3 pipes prior to it. The name of the pipe in Pipes is BackFilterPipe
.
gremlin> println g.v(89).out('followed_by').out('sung_by').has('name','Garcia').back(2).name
[StartPipe, OutPipe(followed_by), BackFilterPipe([OutPipe(sung_by), PropertyFilterPipe(name,EQUAL,Garcia)]), PropertyPipe(name)]
==>null
Moreover, you can use as
to label a back point.
gremlin> println g.v(89).out('followed_by').as('x').out('sung_by').has('name','Garcia').back('x').name
[StartPipe, AsPipe(x,OutPipe(followed_by)), BackFilterPipe([OutPipe(sung_by), PropertyFilterPipe(name,EQUAL,Garcia)]), PropertyPipe(name)]
==>null

NIGHT ON EARTH A film review by ThomasL Copyright 1992 ThomasL
Scenes in a taxi cab? How hackneyed! How Hollywood! Get real!
Jim Jarmusch's newest film, NIGHT ON EARTH, is an example of what an independent talent can do with a budget. In this film, we get great production values, and accessibility, but a lot more. The look is superb; the stories are entertaining, thoughtful and moving. Although this film is staged in five locations throughout the world, it's pure Hollywood at it's best. Jarmusch joins the big leagues with this movie as he tackles the heavy themes. In this complex smorgasbord of life, he makes the bittersweet completely palatable.
The movie is a series of five vignettes, each of which takes place in a different city in the world, simultaneously. The stories, like the lives of people in different places, have nothing to with one another, although there are some lovely lose connections (sister-in-laws, for example). The encounters all involve a cab driver picking up a fare.
The opening credits, over a globe beautifully, set the theme, and the music, by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan, is perfect for this whistle-stop sideshow tour of the human carnival. That familiar Hollywood device (one of my faves, along with the calendar with the pages drifting to the floor, showing passage of time), the newsroom clocks which show simultaneous times for various cities, cues us in to time and place. They run backwards to reset, between cities. The establishing sequence in each city gives us the flavor of the city through the buildings and streets the cabbies intimately know. We always see a clock in the sequence.
We travel east, and the earliest sequence in the film, L.A., is the slowest. As the Hollywood story set on its ear, it sets the tone with its commentary about reality, movies and the chances of life. It is the stagiest.
As always, it's the quirky and individualistic characters, the mundane yet strangely striking situations, that distinctively mark the Jarmusch pictures (as well as the soundtrack, this time beautifully restrained and so more effective than usual). The characters in this picture are Everymen and women, but the short stories are some of the most compelling seen in recent memory. The New York story and the Helsinki story are both humorous and beautifully emotional. Rome, about living lustily, has a wonderful character driving. Each location really captures the flavor of the people and the place. Notable performances include the fares in New York and Helsinki,and the cabbie in Rome, although they are all excellent.
Jim Jarmusch has a keen, sweet eye, and through it we lightly caress what he sees, as he winks.

View and Manage Quotas¶
Quotas exist in Designate for various resources, these are configurable by an operator globally, as well as on a per-tenant basis.
View Quotas¶
Users can view their quotas with a simple API call:
GET /v2/quotas/ HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
X-Openstack-Request-Id: req-bfcd0723-624c-4ec2-bbd5-99e985efe8db
{
"api_export_size": 1000,
"recordset_records": 20,
"zone_records": 500,
"zone_recordsets": 500,
"zones": 500
}
Administrators with the ability to use the X-Auth-All-Projects
header
can view the quotas of any user by making a similar API call to
/v2/quotas/tenant
.
Available Quotas¶
Zones¶
| Quota | Description | Default |
| zones | The number of zone allowed per tenant | 10 |
Recordsets/Records¶
| Quota | Description | Default |
| zone_recordsets | Number of recordsets allowed per zone | 500 |
| zone_records | Number of records allowed per zone | 500 |
| recordset_records | Number of records allowed per recordset | 20 |
Zone Exports¶
| Quota | Description | Default |
| api_export_size | Number of recordsets allowed in a zone export | 1000 |
Editing Quotas¶
Global Configuration¶
All of the quotas above can be set as a default for all users by editing the
[DEFAULT]
configuration section, and setting each quota with
quota_$name
. for example:
[DEFAULT]
########################
## General Configuration
########################
quota_zones = 500
quota_zone_recordsets = 500
quota_zone_records = 500
quota_recordset_records = 20
quota_api_export_size = 1000
Per-Tenant via API¶
These quotas can be edited via API on a per-tenant basis. An administrator
can edit quotas for any tenant, but they must supply the
X-Auth-All-Projects
header, and have permission to use it, they’ll also
need the set-quotas
permission in policy.json
. For example, an
admin setting the zones quota for tenant X would look like:
PATCH /v2/quotas/tenantX HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
X-Auth-All-Projects: True
{
"zones": 100
}
The response would be:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
X-Openstack-Request-Id: req-bfcd0723-624c-4ec2-bbd5-99e985efe8db
{
"api_export_size": 1000,
"recordset_records": 20,
"zone_records": 500,
"zone_recordsets": 500,
"zones": 100
}

How To Setup an RSS Feed with Feedburner The Right Way
I love Feedburner and originally setup my RSS feed on to use feedburner. I was researching how to use the feedburner API when I discovered Google has deprecated the API.
The announcment of the API being deprecated led bloggers into mass hysteria. They concluded Google will be shutting down the feedburner service. Even Dave Winer commented on Google and Feedburner. The feedburner service may go away or it may remain but in my research I discovered the way I had been using feedburner isn't the best way.
The way most people use feedburner is to use the URL feedburner provides. This means your feed will look something like this.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/myawesomesite.
Come to find out, this is a bad idea. By using the raw feedburner link, you lose the ability to migrate away from it. So, if feedburner was shut down you would lose your readership.
Since Larry Page is focusing on core Google properties and shutting down other services I figured it's better to merge stuff over now, just to be safe.
The Right Way
You want to host the actual feed from your domain, but still use feedburner for distribution.
First, Log in to feedburner and click on My Accounts at the top right of the screen. Then click MyBrand on the left side. This page has all the information you need in order to host the link on your own site.
Once step you need to take is adding a CNAME record to your domain. This is done through your hosting provider. Mine for example was 1l1dqzb.feedproxy.ghs.google.com
Note: When I first did this, I was given null.feedproxy.ghs.google.com. However, after waiting a few minutes it refreshed and gave me the right server to use.
Once you are done with the DNS record you need to replace your old feedburner url with your new personal rss url. Mine for instance is:
http://feeds.bretthard.in/bretthardin
Don't forget to include the path. In my case /bretthardin
. If you don't include your path, it won't work.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

THE NEGOTIATOR (1998) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1998 Ted Prigge
Director: F. Gary Gray Writers: James DeMonaco and Kevin Fox Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey, J. T. Walsh, Ron Rifkin, John Spencer, David Morse, Regina Taylor, Paul Giamatti, Siobahn Fallon, Paul Guilfoyle
"The Negotiator" is almost drowning in cliches, but they're only extremely evident once the movie has ended. For instance, the film opens with a sequence where the film's one negotiator, Danny Roman (Samuel L. Jackson), does a tough negotiating job with a homicidal lunatic. He manages to talk his way into the room, and even allow the police to get a wound shot on him, all without even getting a scratch. Afterwards, they go to a bar and party, laughing at the news when it covers the situation they were just present at.
How many times have we seen this in a film like this? I can remember "Speed," but at least that whole bit had to do with the actual plot. The things that happened in that sequence resulted in the rest of the movie. Here, the film is trying to prove three things: 1) that Danny likes to risk his life for his job, 2) that he's very excellent at his job, and 3) that he's just too cool for words. And generally, it does a good job of setting his character up for the rest of the movie, where he will be stripped away of everything and turned into a desperate creature.
As you've no less seen in the previews, "The Negotiator" deals with another in the long line of "Dog Day Afternoon" rip-offs, where hostages are taken and we're given more of a glimpse on the inside with the bad guys and less on the outside with the good guys. In this film, though, it's an almost impulsive move. After the opening sequence, Danny's partner (Paul Guilfoyle, who IS in everything these days), who was investigating stolen funds from the department's treasury, is killed and Danny is framed for the murder. Danny didn't do it and we know it, but as the evidence comes in, everyone points the finger at Danny, and he goes over the edge when he walks into the office of the man investigating the crime, Inspector Niebaum (the late J.T. Walsh, playing a creep for the last time), and in a fit of rage, takes him and three others hostage.
After a bit of pandemonium, Danny refuses to speak to anyone except for a West-Side Manhattan negotiator he's never met, Chris Sabian (Kevin Spacey), who comes over and begins to ease the tensions between Danny and the cops who are trying to take him out, probably because some of them are the guys who framed him.  As the film goes on, we're treated to the intensity of the situation as well as a giant conspiracy that slowly unravels as the film moves on. Who set Danny up, and can he find out before the cops break in and kill him or someone who knows something?
Since you've seen this all before, basically, I'll give you two good reasons to see this particular entry: Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. Here we have two of the best actors working today, the former a master of fiery intensity, the latter a master of calm intensity. And since the entire film, or basically most of it (following a lengthy exposition), these two are playing cat-and-cat games with one another, the film is intensely watchable. Who wasn't holding their breath the first time they saw the final scene of "Pulp Fiction," where Jackson gave such a powerful performance that when he lost the Oscar to Martin Landau, we were all with him when he mouthed "Shit" on the air? And who wasn't on the edge of their seat throughout "The Usual Suspects," just listening to Spacey weave that story from beginning to end? Watching one of them is amazing enough, but when they're both on screen, playing off eachother with flawless chemistry, it's just pure movie magic.
Now, let me sidetrack to talk about something else. When reviewing a movie like this, it's almost a rule that you point out all the little plot holes, flubs, and generally be extremely cynical about it all, because this, after all, is a genre-pic, one that has been made many a time before, sometimes several times in a year. When reviewing films like this, reviewers often just say something like "I liked it when I watched it, but when I left the theatre, I began to realize that the film was weak" blah blah blah. This is a fault, and it's something that I've done before as well (just read some of my older reviews for proof of this). Of course a film like this may seem weak when it's over: you're not watching it. Film, in any genre or form, is generally supposed to be one thing: an experience. Unless it's a very complex film that you're trying to figure out the plot or theme(s) to, it's pretty much a waste of time to rely on afterthoughts because they're usually totally ignorant.  This person damn near cried when they saw it.
The same goes for this film. The chief pleasure in this film is just watching it, and when watching a film that's pleasing, it's not entirely evident of the plot holes and cliches till afterwards. It's such a pot boiler that looking back on it may reveal things that might not work out in retrospect, but it's such a well-directed film (thank you, F. Gary Gray) that it's edge-of-your seat the whole time. He handles all the action well in short interludes of chaos. He balances just the idea of a hostage situation and a mystery that is totally involving all the way. He gets brilliant performances from Jackson and Spacey, and even gets strong support, especially from everyone's favorite actor they don't know, Paul Giamatti (playing a sleazy, hysterical hostage). What's the point in mentioning any plot holes this story may have when it doesn't matter when this film is just happening?

Forum: CompilerIssue: CLOS-MACRO-COMPILATION
References: CLOS chapters 1 & 2 (88-002R)
CLOS chapter 3 (89-003)
Issue COMPILE-FILE-HANDLING-OF-TOP-LEVEL-FORMS
Issue DEFINING-MACROS-NON-TOP-LEVEL
Category: CLARIFICATION
Edit History: V1, 10 Mar 1989, Sandra Loosemore
V2, 13 Mar 1989, Sandra Loosemore
V3, 21 Mar 1989, Sandra Loosemore (fix error language)
V4, 11 Jun 1989, Sandra Loosemore (Gregor's amendment)
V5, 23 Jun 1989, Sandra Loosemore (wording changes per Pitman)
Status: Proposal MINIMAL passed, June 89
Recommendation to drafting committee: clarify that the
provisions listed under DEFCLASS are intended to affect
warnings emitted by the compiler.
Problem Description:
Do the CLOS defining macros (DEFCLASS, DEFMETHOD, DEFGENERIC, and
DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION) have compile-time side-effects similar
to those for DEFSTRUCT or DEFMACRO?
A part of the problem is that we do not currently have a full
understanding of all the issues involved. In particular, work on
defining the CLOS meta-object protocol is still in progress. The goal
of this proposal is to say enough about the behavior of these macros
in the standard so that users can use them portably in compiled code,
but to leave as much of the behavior as possible unspecified to avoid
placing undue restrictions on the meta-object protocol.
Proposal CLOS-MACRO-COMPILATION:MINIMAL:
State that top-level calls to the CLOS defining macros have the
following compile-time side-effects. Any other compile-time behavior
is explicitly left unspecified.
DEFCLASS:
* The class name may appear in subsequent type declarations.
* The class name can be used as a specializer in subsequent
DEFMETHOD forms.
DEFGENERIC:
* The generic function can be referenced in subsequent DEFMETHOD forms.
* DEFGENERIC does not arrange for the generic function to be callable
at compile time.
DEFMETHOD:
* DEFMETHOD does not arrange for the method to be callable at compile
time. If there is a generic function with the same name defined at
compile time, compiling a DEFMETHOD does not add the method to that
generic function. (That is, the method is added to the generic
function only when the DEFMETHOD is actually executed.)
The error-signalling behavior described in the specification of
DEFMETHOD in CLOS chapter 2 (if the function isn't a generic function
or if the lambda-list is not congruent) happens only when the defining
form is executed, not at compile time.
The forms in EQL specializers are evaluated when the defining form
is executed. The compiler is permitted to build in knowledge
about what the form in an EQL specializer will evaluate to in cases
where the ultimate result can be syntactically inferred without
actually evaluating it.
DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION:
* The method combination can be used in subsequent DEFGENERIC forms.
The body of a DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION form is evaluated no earlier
than when the defining macro is executed and possibly as late as
generic function invocation time. The compiler may attempt to
evaluate these forms at compile time but must not depend on being able
to do so.
Rationale:
The compile-time behavior of DEFCLASS is similar to DEFSTRUCT or
DEFGENERIC and DEFMETHOD are similar to DEFUN, which doesn't add the
function definition to the compile-time environment. Since generic
functions may be freely redefined between compile and run time (just
like any other function), a method may end up "belonging" to a
different generic function at load time than at compile time. This
is why it is inappropriate to signal errors about congruency problems
(etc) until the method is actually added to the generic function at
run time.
Current Practice:
The items listed under DEFCLASS in proposal MINIMAL are fairly standard
programming style.
Flavors does not support compile-time instantiation of classes. It
does not make method combinations available at compile-time either, but
Moon considers that to be a bad design choice.
Cost to implementors:
Unknown.
Cost to users:
Unknown, but probably fairly small.
Wrapping an (EVAL-WHEN (EVAL COMPILE LOAD) ...) around the appropriate
definitions will make sure they are fully defined at compile-time.
Alternatively, the definitions could be placed in a separate file,
which is loaded before compiling the file that depends on those
definitions.
Benefits:
Programmers can rely on programs that use the CLOS defining macros
being able to compile correctly in all implementations, without having
to wrap explicit EVAL-WHENs around every macro call.
Discussion:
This writeup is based on discussions between Moon, Gray, and
Loosemore, who are mostly in agreement on the things presented in
proposal MINIMAL. We have purposely avoided saying anything about
whether meta-objects representing the classes, methods, etc. get
created at compile-time, or whether such meta-objects are fully or
partially defined. The basic questions addressed by this issue are
what kinds of things can be defined and then used during compilation
of the same file that defines them, and what restrictions might apply.
These proposals are not completely compatible with the meta-object
protocol document (89-003). Gregor Kiczales says:
No one believes that what is written in draft 10 of the MOP is valid.
Sandra Loosemore says:
Although I admit I don't understand all of the issues involved with
the meta-object protocol, I prefer proposal MINIMAL over
NOT-SO-MINIMAL. I don't think leaving the issue of whether or not
classes can be instantiated at compile-time unspecified places an
undue burden on users, and it does leave more freedom for the
meta-object protocol to decide what the right behavior really is.
Dick Gabriel notes:
The question I have about the process going on with respect to the
CLOS-MACRO-COMPILATION issue is whether the fine-grained behavior of
CLOS under various compilation/evaluation situations is being
over-specified.
At this stage of the game I worry that we might go a little too far in
one direction in specification when we are actually engaged in design
work. This isn't intended to be a criticism of any committees, but I
would feel a lot more comfortable with a conservative specification
that defined well-formed programs being loaded or compiled in fresh
Common Lisps with a pretty simple eval-when model that is easier to
specify and which makes it easy for all but the hairiest
compilation-environment-frobbing programs to be written.


[Erowid Note: Some blotter sold and thought to be Bromo-Dragonfly has been shown to actually contain DOB. There is reason to suspect that some or even all descriptions of Bromo-Dragonfly on blotter are instead, DOB, LSD, or another long acting compound.]
A little background...
I'm about 5'11, 130 lbs (very lean), and have had multiple experiences with mushrooms, salvia, Ecstasy, and most of all pot.
11 days prior to this trip I had rolled (E)
I had been smoking pot as usual
A friend of mine called me one night and said he could get acid. I had been wanting to experiment with LSD for a long time, but I was always hesitant because of rumors of fake acid in Miami. Some friends of mine had bought bum acid a few months earlier. But his connect assured him it was real. He basically had me on speakerphone with his buddy while he got the blotters, a single hit for himself, and a double for me. After a few days my friend told me he had taken his, and believed it not to be LSD but Bromo-Dragonfly. He believed this because of his unbearably long come up time (3 hours until mild effects, 4 hours until full effects), and also the range of effects seemed to be that of Bromo-Dragonfly. I had only hardly heard of BrDf once before, and I had never heard of anyone doing it.
The stamps were average size, a square about the size of a pencil eraser head, with a yellow sun outlined in red with a red heart in the center on one side, and a navy blue back. My friend's had a yellow back.
After some research online, and sifting thru forums he discovered that other people had been getting the same stamps, and were having similar trips, and all believed it was bromo. I did my own research, as I dont like taking anything I'm not sure of, and decided to go ahead with the trip. My friend had told me his trip was very mild, uncomfortable, and 'not worth it'. I believed that because of his historically higher tolerance to hallucinogens I would have a better experience. So I went ahead.
The actual trip is nothing note-worthy. Id had much more intense trips before, but this one was unique. I split the stamp in half with a friend, so we each had a single dose, like my other friend. It took both of us a full 4 hours to feel any effects at all. This is the time-table.
6:40PM- ingest.
9:40PM- Mild nausea, fatigue, and restlessness all over my body.
10:40PM- I wake up from a short nap I took to settle my stomach, and upon opening my cell phone in the pitch black room, I was completely blinded with light, and I almost dropped my phone. It was at this point I would say I began 'tripping'.
10:55PM- I went into the bathroom to collect myself, and drain my lizard, and everything was just different. It had the spacial-distortion feel of a mushroom trip, but the energy of a roll come up, accompanied by an extremely pleasent floaty body high. In the bathroom the tiles bent and waved a little bit, nothing drastic, but I still enjoyed it alot.
Around hour 5 (11:40PM) my girlfriend had to go home, so we hopped in a sober friends car and took off. The car ride was amazing. I had the feeling that there was no car around me, and I was floating in the air, zooming around at 55mph. Contrast in light and dark was very nice, colors and lights were a little visually pleasing as well.
At about hour 6, all visuals had ceased, with the exception of some spacial distortion. The body high remained, and I smoked some pot to try and kick the visuals back in. The effects were moderate at best, but pleasing. I decided to call it a night at about 1:30AM, almost 7 hours after ingestion. I sat in bed alternating between Adult Swim and Stankervision for the next 4 hours (television was extremely nice throughout the whole trip). Occasionally Id turn off the TV and try to fall asleep, but I found my body too restless, I could still feel it in me. Id estimate I fell asleep somewhere in the neighborhood of 5:15-5:45AM.
I woke up later that morning (today) at about 10:30AM, and for the small amount of sleep I got I felt surprisingly well rested. I could feel no after effects, no hangover, no burnt out feeling, completely normal.
Id say I was very pleased with the trip, and so was my friend who took the other half. I'm sure that if I would have taken the full stamp myself I would have had much more intense and longer lasting visuals, but the uncomfortable restlessness could remain longer as well. I plan in the next month or so to obtain another double hit, same as this, but to take the whole thing myself, and see what some of the more intense effects of this weird chemical are.
All in all? If it really was bromo (which we're almost certain it is) than I personally suffered no ill side effects, and had a mild but lovely trip. My only complaints would be the long time frame of the experience, and of course, the restlessness. But I expected both things to begin with, so it wasn't an unpleasant suprise.
I really enjoyed myself, and look forward to the double dose.

Jose Mourinho told Man Utd spending £50m on Harry Magurie would be embarrassing
Manchester United ended their interest in Harry Maguire in 2018 after Jose Mourinho warned them spending more than £50million on the defender would ‘embarrass him’, reports say.
United tried to sign Maguire four months before Mourinho’s sacking, with the Portuguese insisting he needed an elite centre-back.
The Mirror claim United went after Leicester City’s Maguire, but were told by the Foxes they would not sell for any figure less than £60m.
Mourinho insisted a fee over £50m would be embarrassing, prompting United to walk away from talks with Leicester.
United would eventually sign Maguire a year later, but paid a staggering £80million for his services.
It is unclear if Maguire can live up to that price tag, but the England international has improved United’s defence since joining their ranks.

Were United to have pushed ahead with plans to sign Maguire in the summer of 2018, they could have saved £20m.
Mourinho would leave the club before the end of the year, but not before he repeatedly insisted the club had not backed him in the transfer market.
While Maguire and his team-mates have struggled for consistency this season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the defender is a future captain at Old Trafford.
‘I think he’s been brilliant,’ said Solskjaer of Maguire.
‘I think he’s come into the dressing room, been a leader, he’s also a leader on the pitch and I’m sure he’s looking forward to playing against his old team.
‘Now he’s here he’s going to be a big part of the future of this club, we’ve watched him enough to know he’s the guy we wanted, that’s why we spent the money we did on him.

‘He’s a definitely a character and personality that can be captain of a big club, in the dressing room he’s a leader by performances, stature and behaviour, he’s a character you’d like to follow, some are technical leaders, some are leaders by voice, he’s got the lot.’

The following material is valid only when Digest is used as a SASL mechanism. Ciphers and encryption are not available for HTTP authentication using Microsoft Digest.
A Digest SASL challenge's cipher directive contains a list of the ciphers supported by a server that requires confidential communications. The cipher directive can only be included if the qop directive is set to "auth-conf". The ciphers recognized by Microsoft Digest are listed in the following table, in order from strongest to weakest.
Cipher value Description
"rc4" The RC4 cipher with a 128-bit key.
"3des" The triple DES cipher in CBC mode with EDE with the same key for each E stage (two keys mode). Total key length is 112 bits.
"rc4-56" The RC4 cipher with a 56-bit key.
"rc4-40" The RC4 cipher with a 40-bit key.
"des" The Data Encryption Standard (DES) cipher in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode with a 56-bit key.
When a server application requests confidentiality (qop="auth-conf") Microsoft Digest will generate a challenge that offers the client all of the ciphers installed on the server and supported by Digest. The Digest client will select the strongest available cipher. For details on specifying confidentiality, see Generating the Digest Challenge.

Jambo! Thank you for visiting Angaza ~ from the land of the Maasai. Our hope is that you will enjoy shopping our handcrafted items which have all been individually created by selected local artisans from the slums of Kenya. So why from the slums? Over the years, we have watched these artisans and tailors though impoverished, create unique pieces and then struggle to sell them at the local markets. Angaza is therefore passionate about giving an international platform and fair market for these uniquely created fabric, jewelry, apparel and handcrafted items. Through Angaza, these local artisans will move from an ‘Aid to Trade ‘ideology as they become economically stable. The purpose of Angaza is support these talented and highly skilled artisans to become economically stable and break the cycle of poverty. Before it’s launch, Angaza selected (still a continuous process) various artisans with different talents. Our mission is to partner with them to conduct a socially impactful business in a sustainable and fair manner. TRACING OUR IMPACT & SUPPLY CHAIN. We want to be transparent in every way possible as this is very important for Angaza. We also want you to take part in the ethical shopping revolution by inviting you 'behind the scenes' and introducing you to ‘Who created your unique creations’~ we will do that in creative and fun ways by either sending you a hand-written note from the artisan, text message or picture. We will also do short stories or an introduction of the various artisans where they get to share how Angaza has been of impact in their lives so far. Angaza’s mission is to continue being a socially responsible brand that will continue to support ethical and sustainable sourcing of the materials locally from Kenya and expanding to other African countries. Angaza strives to pay the local artisans and tailors a fair wage and have a traceable social impact by working closely with the artisans to ensure that our business Angaza meets fair trade principles Our goal for the coming months is understanding what our ethical conscious clients are interested in, growing, learning from those who have begun before us and introducing ourselves in our territory. Future goals: • Partnering with international designers that will offer exchange platform for knowledge sharing between the international designers and the local artisans so as to continue creating modern creations with a focus on African inspired fabrics and materials. • Partnering with the gurus of wax fabrics VLISCO Netherlands who have been creating bolding African fabrics since 1846. By showing interest to our creations, you are saying NO to Aid and YES to Trade ideology and transforming lives through supporting our principle of investment instead of Aid. Find Angaza at a weekend market near you ~ check our events calendar for updates on upcoming markets. * All our prices include's a 21% VAT * Prices include shipping charges to Netherlands. * VAT number : 783605833B01 * KVK / Chamber of Commerce : 69610495 Asante Sana (Thank you so much) Nelly Otenyo.

In this experiment, you will recognize pictures of handwritten digits (0-9).
Each picture will be broken down into a sequence of partial pictures, like the picture of a '3' below.
The sequence slowly builds up the full picture, one row of pixels at a time.
Pixels that have not yet been revealed are white, while pixels that have been revealed to be blank are gray.
You will be shown each partial picture in the sequence, one at a time.
Please label each partial picture with the digit that you think it represents.
If the partial picture is empty or does not contain enough detail for you to tell what digit it is, please mark "Not sure".
After clicking "Submit", more of the picture will be revealed, and you will have a chance to update your label.
After the full picture has been revealed, a new sequence of partial pictures (of a potentially different digit) will be shown.
There are {{ n_unlabeled_imgs }} images remaining to be labeled.


For my Senior Design Project we developed and fabricated an Autonomus Moblie Robot(AMR) for Cisco Systems Work Place Resources(WPR).
This robot uses lidar and stereo vision to patrol around Cisco's cafateria towing a dirty dish cart as a part of their green initative to increase the use of reusables.
C15 operating in building 7 at Cisco
Working as two teams of 5, one focusing on the electrical and programming aspect of the robot, and my team focusing on the mechanical aspects of the robot.
Meeting weekly we quickly began brainstorming and coming together on a concept to further refine and prototype
Initial concepts that we developed during brainstorming
We initially had brainstomed concepts that carried bins internally, fully encased the cart, and had built in storage for dirty dish bins, but after discussion with Cisco
we took ideas that we liked from each concept and simplified the overall design.
Our final concept uses hooks to grab onto the cart

Given an array a, find the majority element in it without using any extra space.
It's guaranteed that there is always a majority element present in the array.
A majority element is the element that's present more than n/2 times in the array.
Example:
a = [1, 2, 3, 1, 1]
answer = 1
This problem can be solved in an interesting way using the greedy approach.
The idea is that, for the element that's present in the majority, all other elements combined will still not be able to cancel out this element.
Algorithm Overview:
1. Start off by assuming that the first element is the majority element.
2. If the next element is same as the current element, increment the counter.
3. If not, decrement the counter.
4. If the counter reaches zero, set the current item as the majority element.

Belows shows one example of applying Mask R-CNN to an image of street view. You can also upload your own image to be processed. Note that to reduce server load, images are resized to a small size before being processed, which diminishes the quality of the detection. You can obtain better results by running the code locally.

{% extends "base.html" %} {% block page_title %}About Balladmonger{% endblock %} {% block page_content %}
Balladmonger is a small web app built with Python and Flask which dynamically generates poems—or “ballads”—based on Shakespeare’s King Lear and other related works. I wrote Balladmonger in the fall of 2015 as a project for a graduate seminar at the University of Illinois on the interactions between Shakespearian drama and early modern ballads. Its purpose is to remediate King Lear into a ballad (well, multiple ballads) and a digital media object, interrogating in the process our ideas of what a work of literature is (can we call what Balladmonger produces remediations of King Lear?) and destabilizing (I hope) ideas of “authority” and “authorship.”
Balladmonger was trained on King Lear and a sampling of texts from the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries that remediate King Lear in some way. Below is a complete list of Balladmonger’s source texts.


NARCONON
SAVING LIVES FROM ADDICTION
Narconon was founded in 1966 based on the discoveries and writings of author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. Today, Narconon constitutes a worldwide network that daily helps people recover from the devastation of drug addiction.
Narconon drug rehabilitation methods, all drug-free, combine a precise regimen that eliminates drug residues from the body with procedures to alleviate the mental and physical anguish connected with drugs.
Narconon not only addresses the debilitating effects of drug abuse on both mind and body, but also resolves the reasons why a person turned to drugs in the first place. To date, the program has helped tens of thousands start a new life free from drugs.
But Narconon doesn’t stop there; it reaches out to inform young people and adults about drugs and drug abuse through its education and prevention program. To date Narconon drug education specialists have directly reached more than 16 million individuals.
True freedom for the individual cannot be attained in a world awash with substance abuse and drug addiction. That is why the Church of Scientology is fully committed to programs that effectively address this social issue.

Press release
Large employers are encouraged to register for an online apprenticeship service before the launch of the apprenticeship levy on 6 April.
The Department for Education and the Skills Funding Agency ( SFA ) are from today (13 February 2017) encouraging large employers to sign up and register for the apprenticeship service, in readiness for the launch of the apprenticeship levy on 6 April 2017.
The apprenticeship service is an online digital system (similar to online banking) that has been set up to support the apprenticeship levy.
The levy will require employers, with a wage bill of over £3 million a year, to pay 0.5% of their wage bill into the apprenticeship service, to encourage them to invest into apprentices.
The online service then allows those employers to financially manage their apprenticeship programme and help them to estimate their financial spend and recruit apprentices through their training providers. It will help employers:
Apprenticeships and Skills Minister Robert Halfon said:
Our funding reforms are essential to ensuring that this country works to build a highly skilled workforce for the future.
Nobody understands the skills employers need better than the employers themselves and that is why we are placing them in the driving seat, to ensure they get the talent they need to grow.
I have tried the new service myself and am impressed with how easy to use it is. All you need to do is set up an account, so I encourage employers to do it now so they can be ready for the levy coming later in this year.
Sue Husband, director of the National Apprenticeship Service said:
The apprenticeship levy will come into effect in April 2017 to put apprenticeship funding on a sustainable footing and fund growth in the apprenticeship programme.
Employers have told us that they want to be in control of their apprenticeship programme and funding. They want to manage it quickly and easily, so we have designed the apprenticeship service to do just that.
It’s really quick to set up an account, and employers that have already registered during our testing phase have told us how easy they found it.
To register, levy-paying employers should have:
The register to manage your apprenticeship funds page provides more guidance.
Over the last few years the government has embarked on a large-scale programme to reform the way apprenticeships are delivered and funded in England. The reformed apprenticeships are:
In spring 2017, the way the government funds apprenticeships in England is changing. Some employers will be required to contribute to a new apprenticeship levy, and there will be changes to the funding for apprenticeship training for all employers. The apprenticeship levy begins on 6 April 2017.
The levy requires all employers operating in the UK, with a pay bill of over £3 million each year, to invest in apprenticeships.
Employers won’t be able to pay for apprenticeships until they have started paying the levy (from May onwards).

The SFA funds skills training for further education (FE) in England. We support over 1,000 colleges, private training organisations, and employers with £3.2 billion of funding each year.
The SFA is an executive agency, sponsored by the Department for Education.

Battlefield Earth (2000) Rating: 0.0 stars out of 5.0 stars
Cast: John Travolta, Barry Pepper, Forest Whitaker, Kim Coates, Richard Tyson, Kelly Preston Written by: Corey Mandell Directed by: Roger Christian Running Time: 117 minutes
Battlefield Earth is the worst film of 2000, and I guarantee you that nothing else this year will even come close. In fact, I'll be surprised if I see anything this bad in the next TEN years.
Based on the novel by Scientology guru L. Ron Hubbard, Battlefield Earth begins and we immediately find out two pieces of key information. It's the year 3000, and an alien race called the Psychlos (which sounds like a tag team of Mexican wrestlers) conquered our planet in nine minutes. Ok, we are all of 10 seconds in and I have a zillion questions racing through my mind. When were we conquered? The audience is led to believe that this happened about 1,000 years earlier, and if that is the case then we're going to get into a whole BUNCH of problems later (trust me... keep reading). Also, why don't we get to see Earth get conquered?
Humans now live as cavemen or slave labor, and for the film's first act we focus on one particular cavemen group outside of Denver, Colorado. They grunt and groan and babble about monsters. So, when the Psychlos conquered Earth, were the only humans not captured a herd of newborn babies that crawled their way to safety in the hills? None of these characters have any knowledge of the planet being conquered (whenever that was). This is definitely NOT the way to start an action/sci-fi film.
One of the humans wanders out into the wilderness and stumbles across what he thinks is a monster, and he begins to fight it. The "monster" turns out to be a dinosaur from an old miniature golf course. He turns around and sees all sorts of other characters from the golf course, with some shrubs growing over them.
Anyway, some of the humans are captured by the Psychlos led by Terl (John Travolta) a smarmy and opportunistic alien planning on stealing a recently discovered gold deposit. The cavemen (led by Barry Pepper) are forced to do their bidding or whatever, but eventually they gain the upper hand and reclaim the planet, or something. So these cavemen are able to do what Earth failed to do 1,000 years earlier? And, we're supposed to believe that Earth was conquered in nine minutes by a group of buffoonish aliens who can't even handle a few cavemen?
One of the ways the humans reclaim the planet is by taking control of abandoned Air Force jets and using them to fight the Psychlos. So jets left unattended for 1,000 years are still able to fly? Please, if I leave my car unattended for two weeks I have to replace every fluid and hose under the hood. Why did the Psychlos leave jets around anyway? Shouldn't they have destroyed military installations during their massive nine minute campaign against us?
The Psychlos refer to humans as "man animals" but yet dogs are still "dogs". Why aren't they "dog animals"? The Psychlos are after mining Earth's precious resources, but for 1,000 years are unaware of Fort Knox? Why do I even care at this point?
I'm a fan of Travolta's and I'm glad to see he's back on the A-List in Hollywood (despite the fact that he occasionally puts out crowd pleasing dreck like Michael and Phenomenon). But how did he possibly think this was a good movie? And how did he think he was giving a good performance here? He's more than capable of making a menacing villain (see Broken Arrow and Face/Off) but whenever his character came on screen I couldn't hold back my laughter. Now despite the different facial features members of this alien race seem to have, Travolta just looks like Travolta. All of the other aliens have weird foreheads or other pointy bones on their face, but Travolta just has a goatee.  Ooooo, scary villain. As a producer he should know better and as an actor he should DEFINITELY know better.
You can make a dumb but good sci-fi film (I love Independence Day for example), but there is absolutely NOTHING entertaining about Battlefield Earth. I did everything I possibly could to stay awake during the screening... I cleaned my glasses, walked around the theater, made a grocery list, chose my lottery numbers for the week, replayed Super Bowl XXV in my head (with commercials)... and still was compelled to scrutinize the insides of my eyelids.
By the time we actually reach the year 3000, people should still be avoiding this film. Folks, save your cash.. don't go see it, don't rent it, and don't buy it. You'd be more entertained by taking the money you'd use for this movie and just throwing it into the wind, watching it sail away (hell, send it to us here at The Jacksonville Film Journal... we'll entertain you plenty with that kind of money). Unless of course you're just captivated by countless slow motion shots of Barry Pepper running, which is just about all you'll come away with from this movie. That, and a headache.
[Editor's Note: For some reason though, the day after my screening I converted to Scientology. I'm not sure why... something just made me feel compelled make the choice.]
