Alan Turing British mathematician and logician
Alan Turing, in full Alan Mathison Turing, (born June 23, 1912, London, England—died June 7, 1954, Wilmslow, Cheshire), British mathematician and logician who made major contributions to mathematics, cryptanalysis, logic, philosophy, and mathematical biology and also to the new areas later named computer science, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and artificial life. Early life and career The son of a civil servant, Turing was educated at a top private school. He entered the University of Cambridge to study mathematics in 1931. After graduating in 1934, he was elected to a fellowship at King’s College (his college since 1931) in recognition of his research in probability theory. In 1936 Turing’s seminal paper “On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem [Decision Problem]” was recommended for publication by the American mathematical logician Alonzo Church, who had himself just published a paper that reached the same conclusion as Turing’s, although by a different method. Turing’s method (but not so much Church’s) had profound significance for the emerging science of computing. Later that year Turing moved to Princeton University to study for a Ph.D. in mathematical logic under Church’s direction (completed in 1938).
The Entscheidungsproblem
What mathematicians called an “effective” method for solving a problem was simply one that could be carried by a human mathematical clerk working by rote. In Turing’s time, those rote-workers were in fact called “computers,” and human computers carried out some aspects of the work later done by electronic computers. The Entscheidungsproblem sought an effective method for solving the fundamental mathematical problem of determining exactly which mathematical statements are provable within a given formal mathematical system and which are not. A method for determining this is called a decision method. In 1936 Turing and Church independently showed that, in general, the Entscheidungsproblem problem has no resolution, proving that no consistent formal system of arithmetic has an effective decision method. In fact, Turing and Church showed that even some purely logical systems, considerably weaker than arithmetic, have no effective decision method. This result and others—notably mathematician-logician Kurt Gödel’s incompleteness results—dashed the hopes, held by some mathematicians, of discovering a formal system that would reduce the whole of mathematics to methods that (human) computers could carry out. It was in the course of his work on the Entscheidungsproblem that Turing invented the universal Turing machine, an abstract computing machine that encapsulates the fundamental logical principles of the digital computer.
The Church-Turing thesis
An important step in Turing’s argument about the Entscheidungsproblem was the claim, now called the Church-Turing thesis, that everything humanly computable can also be computed by the universal Turing machine. The claim is important because it marks out the limits of human computation. Church in his work used instead the thesis that all human-computable functions are identical to what he called lambda-definable functions (functions on the positive integers whose values can be calculated by a process of repeated substitution). Turing showed in 1936 that Church’s thesis was equivalent to his own, by proving that every lambda-definable function is computable by the universal Turing machine and vice versa. In a review of Turing’s work, Church acknowledged the superiority of Turing’s formulation of the thesis over his own (which made no reference to computing machinery), saying that the concept of computability by a Turing machine “has the advantage of making the identification with effectiveness…evident immediately.” Having returned from the United States to his fellowship at King’s College in the summer of 1938, Turing went on to join the Government Code and Cypher School, and, at the outbreak of war with Germany in September 1939, he moved to the organization’s wartime headquarters at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire. A few weeks previously, the Polish government had given Britain and France details of the Polish successes against Enigma, the principal cipher machine used by the German military to encrypt radio communications. As early as 1932, a small team of Polish mathematician-cryptanalysts, led by Marian Rejewski, had succeeded in deducing the internal wiring of Enigma, and by 1938 Rejewski’s team had devised a code-breaking machine they called the Bomba (the Polish word for a type of ice cream). The Bomba depended for its success on German operating procedures, and a change in those procedures in May 1940 rendered the Bomba useless. During the autumn of 1939 and the spring of 1940, Turing and others designed a related, but very different, code-breaking machine known as the Bombe. For the rest of the war, Bombes supplied the Allies with large quantities of military intelligence. By early 1942 the cryptanalysts at Bletchley Park were decoding about 39,000 intercepted messages each month, a figure that rose subsequently to more than 84,000 per month—two messages every minute, day and night. In 1942 Turing also devised the first systematic method for breaking messages encrypted by the sophisticated German cipher machine that the British called “Tunny.” At the end of the war, Turing was made an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his code-breaking work. Computer designer In 1945, the war over, Turing was recruited to the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in London to create an electronic computer. His design for the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) was the first complete specification of an electronic stored-program all-purpose digital computer. Had Turing’s ACE been built as he planned, it would have had vastly more memory than any of the other early computers, as well as being faster. However, his colleagues at NPL thought the engineering too difficult to attempt, and a much smaller machine was built, the Pilot Model ACE (1950). NPL lost the race to build the world’s first working electronic stored-program digital computer—an honour that went to the Royal Society Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester in June 1948. Discouraged by the delays at NPL, Turing took up the deputy directorship of the Computing Machine Laboratory in that year (there was no director). His earlier theoretical concept of a universal Turing machine had been a fundamental influence on the Manchester computer project from the beginning. After Turing’s arrival at Manchester, his main contributions to the computer’s development were to design an input-output system—using Bletchley Park technology—and to design its programming system. He also wrote the first-ever programming manual, and his programming system was used in the Ferranti Mark I, the first marketable electronic digital computer (1951). Artificial intelligence pioneer Turing was a founding father of artificial intelligence and of modern cognitive science, and he was a leading early exponent of the hypothesis that the human brain is in large part a digital computing machine. He theorized that the cortex at birth is an “unorganised machine” that through “training” becomes organized “into a universal machine or something like it.” Turing proposed what subsequently became known as the Turing test as a criterion for whether an artificial computer is thinking (1950). Last years Turing was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of London in March 1951, a high honour, yet his life was about to become very hard. In March 1952 he was convicted of “gross indecency”—that is to say, homosexuality, a crime in Britain at that time—and he was sentenced to 12 months of hormone “therapy.” Now with a criminal record, he would never again be able to work for Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the British government’s postwar code-breaking centre.

View.Set ("graphics") % Switch to graphics mode
View.Set ("screen") % Switch to screen mode
View.Set ("nocursor") % Turn off cursor
View.Set ("noecho") % Do not echo keystrokes
text mode does not allow any graphics whatsoever (including cursor positioning, etc.). Only put and get are allowed. Any output that scrolls off the top of the window is preserved and can viewed or printed later.
graphics mode allows character graphics and pixel graphics commands such and Text.Locate and Draw.Box.
The default graphics mode is defined in the Turing preferences. It is good practice to set the desired mode so that the program will function properly regardless of thedefault graphics mode. Note that if the user prints the output window, in text mode, all output sent to the window is printed. In graphics mode, only the current output of the window is printed. If the user saves the output window, a text mode window will produce a text file containing all the output sent to the window. A graphics window will produce a BMP graphics file containing the current contents of the window.
"cursor", "nocursor" - Causes the cursor to be shown (or hidden). The cursor is only displayed when the program is awaiting input.
"echo", "noecho" - Causes (or suppresses) echoing of characters that are typed. Echoing is commonly turned off in interactive programs to keep typed characters from being echoed at inappropriate places on the screen.
"noxor", "xor" - noxor mode means that all drawing is done normally. In xor mode, all pixel graphics are drawn XOR'ed on the background (with the exception of the Pic routines, where the drawing mode is specified). The most important property of an XOR'ed object is that it can be erased and the background restored by XOR'ing the object on top of itself.
"msdos", "nomsdos" - Causes the window to use the MS-DOS character set (with line drawing characters) instead of the Windows ANSI character set. The "nomsdos" option causes the window to use the Windows ANSI character set. Note that the "msdos" option only works if the Windows font (usually Courier New) supports it.
"visible", "invisible", "popup" - Causes the active window to become visible (invisible or, for popup, invisible until input or output occurs in the window).
"title:<text>" - Causes the title of the active window to be set to <text>.
"position:<x>;<y>" - Causes the position of the upper left corner of the active window to be set to (x, y). The <x> parameter can also be one of: left, center, center or right, in which case the window will be placed on the left, center or right side of the screen. The <y> parameter can also be one of: top, middle, truemiddle, or bottom in which case the window will be placed at the top, middle about 1/3 from the top, middle or bottom of the screen. Note that when a window is supposed to be centered in the middle of the screen, middle usually looks better than truemiddle.
"nooffscreenonly", "offscreenonly" Causes or (suppresses) output from being sent to the visible window. When the offscreenonly option is active, any text and graphics output is drawn to the offscreen buffer that is maintained for every Run window but not drawn to the screen. View.Update is then used to copy the entire contents of the offscreen buffer to the Run window. By allowing numerous drawing commands to be sent to the offscreen buffer and then updating the window at one time, it is possible to get smoother animation.
"buttonbar", "nobuttonbar" Causes or (suppresses) the display of a button bar at the top of the output window which allows the user to easily stop program execution or save and print the output window.
"text", "screen", "graphics" - Sets window to the given mode and always erases the screen, even when already in the requested mode.
The text mode can have a modifier in the form "text:<rows>;<cols>". This sets the window to be <rows> by <cols> of text in size.
The screen mode actually sets the window to graphics mode. It can have a modifier in the form "screen:<rows>;<cols>". This sets the window to be <rows> by <cols> of text in size.
The graphics mode can have a modifier in the form "graphics:<width>;<height>". This sets the window to be <width> by <height> pixels in size.
To set a window to the maximum size available on the screen, you can use max for the <width>, <height>, <rows> or <columns> parameters. If the window requested is larger than will fit on the screen, the window will fill the entire screen and scroll bars will be added to the output window to allow the window user to see the rest of the window.
This program outputs the square roots for the first 200 numbers. The user can inspect all the output and print the values after the program has finished execution
This program creates a window without a button bar at the top that is sized to fit the screen. It then draws an X in red in the window.
This program resizes the window to 200x200, moves the output window to the bottom-left of the screen and hides the button bar. It then sets the window title to Bottom Left Window and outputs the word Hello.
View.Set ("graphics:300;100")
View.Set ("text")
for value : 1 .. 200
put value : 3, " ", sqrt (value)
end for
View.Set ("graphics:max;max,nobuttonbar")
Draw.Line (0, 0, maxx, maxy, red)
Draw.Line (maxx, 0, 0, maxy, red)
View.Set ("graphics:200;200,position:bottom;left,nobuttonbar")
View.Set ("title:Bottom Left Window")
put "Hello"
This means that you can only call the function by calling View.Set, not by calling Set.

Two flavours and shapes of baklava for your delectation. Make one for an after dinner treat or both for a feast.
Preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 3 and grease two large baking trays.
For the rose, cardamom and pistachio baklava, make a syrup. Put the sugar, honey, lemon juice and 150ml/5½fl oz water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer for about five minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and a syrup has formed. Stir in the rose essence and leave to cool.
To make the filling, put 100g/3½oz of the pistachios in a food processor and pulse until broken up into small pieces. Add the icing sugar and cardamom and pulse to combine.
To assemble the baklava, brush the sheets of filo with melted butter (if you are short of space you can assemble the baklava one sheet at a time).
Spread the pistachio filling along one long edge of each sheet of filo. Sprinkle over the remaining whole pistachios.
Carefully roll up the filo, starting at the long edges covered in filling, to create long sausage shapes. Lift the rolls onto one of the prepared baking trays (it’s fine for them to be very close together).
Brush with a little melted butter and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp.
Once baked, cut each roll into 5cm/2in lengths while still in the tray. Cover the hot baklava with the cooled syrup and set aside to cool completely, or overnight if possible.
For the orange and cinnamon baklava rolls, make a syrup. Put the sugar, honey, lemon juice and 150ml/5½fl oz water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer for about five minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and a syrup has formed. Stir in the orange essence and leave to cool.
To make the filling, add the almonds and walnuts to a pan and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes, or until golden-brown.
Put the toasted walnuts and almonds in a food processor and pulse until broken into small pieces. Add the icing sugar, cinnamon and orange zest and pulse to combine.
To assemble the baklava, cut the sheets of filo in half to make 12 pieces.
Brush one piece of filo with melted butter, sprinkle over the walnut and almond filling and some finely chopped crystalised ginger along a long side of the rectangle.
Roll up the filo using a long dowel or skewer to help you (if you don’t have a suitable dowel, roll up the filo freehand as before). Scrunch up the roll of filo and place it widthways on a greased baking tray. Repeat with the remaining sheets of filo until the baking tray is covered.
Brush with a little melted butter and bake at 160C/325F/Gas 3 for 25-30 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp.
When cooked, drizzle the syrup over the hot baklava rolls. Set aside to cool completely, or overnight if possible.

The most audacious burglary gang in recent Hollywood history, accused of stealing more than $3 million in clothing and jewelry from Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and other stars appears to be a bunch of club hopping Valley kids, motivated by vanity and celebrity-worship.
Aexis Neiers told cops that she and Nick Prugo had been drinking at Beso, a trendy bar-restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard, when Prugo got a call from Rachel Lee telling him to come and meet her. It was July 13, 2009. Neiers said she knew that Prugo and Lee both 19 and former classmates at Indian Hills, an alternative high school in Agoura Hills, an affluent suburb of Los Angeles, had been burglarizing the homes of celebrities. This "included Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, Audrina Patridge, and others she was not sure about," according to the L.A.P.D.'s report.
Neiers, 18, said that she was drunk and "not sure what was going on" as Prugo parked his white Toyota on the road by a house in the Hollywood Hills. Later, she said, she would find out that it was the home of Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom. Her friends knew that Bloom was in New York shooting a movie; they researched this kind of information on celebrity Web sites like TMZ. They discovered the locations of stars' homes on Google Maps and celebrityaddressaerial.com.
Neiers said that Lee and another girl, Diana Tamayo, 19, got out of Lee's white Audi A4, and the four kids walked uphill to Bloom's residence, a stark, black mansion. Neiers didn't want to go inside, she said, but still she followed. She told police that Prugo, Lee, and Tamayo seemed to be covering their faces with their hoodies, apparently in order to hide from security cameras. Lee cut a section out of the chain-link fence surrounding the property, Neiers said, and the kids crawled through it.
She said they went around the house, checking windows and doors, finally finding an unlocked door by Bloom's pool area. They went inside and the other kids started to "ransack" Bloom's home, according to Neiers. That night, they would allegedly steal close to $500,000 in Rolex watches, Louis Vuitton luggage, clothing, and artwork.
Neiers said she screamed. Then she went outside and threw up and peed in the bushes.
On November 16, Neiers arrived at Los Angeles Superior Court for her arraignment with an E! reality crew in tow. Her show, originally intended to be about her life as a party girl on the Hollywood scene, had now become a chronicle of her effort to stay out of jail. She was being charged that day with one count of residential burglary of Orlando Bloom's home. In the media, she was being called a member of "the Burglar Bunch," "the Bling Ring," nicknames for the most successful and outrageous burglary gang in recent Hollywood memory: a gang of well off kids from the Valley.
Camera crews from local news stations, Good Morning America, Dateline NBC, and TMZ were waiting outside Department 30 on the third floor of the courthouse. Producers from various shows murmured as Neiers, a former hip-hop and pole-dancing instructor, sat calmly on a bench, allowing a makeup woman to touch her up.
A leggy girl with long, dark hair and shimmering blue-green eyes, Neiers was wearing a tweed miniskirt, a pink sweater, and six-inch Christian Louboutin heels. "I have a pretty cool shoe collection going on right now," she said.
The L.A.P.D.'s report on the Bling Ring states that Nick Prugo told cops that Rachel Lee—a Korean-American girl from Calabasas, a wealthy suburb in the Valley—was "the driving force of the burglary crew and that her motivation was based on her desire to own the designer wardrobes of the Hollywood celebrities she admired." Charged in the case are Neiers; Prugo; Lee; Tamayo; their friend Courtney Ames, 19; and Roy Lopez Jr., 27, a bouncer Ames knew from a waitressing job. (All have pleaded not guilty, except for Lee, whose arraignment was pending at press time.)
Between October of 2008 and August of 2009, the alleged members of the Bling Ring collectively stole more than $3 million in jewelry and high-end designer goods from a number of Young Hollywood players: Hilton, Lohan, Patridge (a regular on the reality show The Hills), Bilson (former star of The O.C.), original Beverly Hills 90210 cast member Brian Austin Green and his girlfriend, actress Megan Fox. They are said to have tried to rob High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale too, but fled when discovered by a female houseguest.
The thieves apparently had a taste for luxury brands: Chanel, Gucci, Tiffany, Cartier, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Yves Saint Laurent. They allegedly stole clothes, shoes, handbags, makeup, perfume, underwear. They also took Green's Sig Sauer .380 semi-automatic handgun.
At her lawyer's office, a week before her arraignment, Neiers denied any involvement in the burglaries.
"I'm a firm believer in Karma," she said, "and I think this situation was attracted into my life because it was supposed to be a huge learning lesson for me to grow and expand as a spiritual human being. I see myself being like an Angelina Jolie," she said, "but even stronger, pushing even harder for the universe and for peace and for the health of our planet." She was sounding almost like a real celebrity. "God didn't give me these talents and looks to just sit around being a model or being famous. I want to lead a huge charity organization. I want to lead a country, for all I know."
Moments before her arraignment began, a news producer approached, asking Neiers for an interview. "I’m going to make a statement on the courthouse steps," the pretty defendant promised. She runway-walked into the courtroom as the cameras started rolling.
Nick Prugo has a different take on the events of the night of the Bloom burglary. "We didn't even go to Beso that night," he said.
Charged with seven counts of residential burglary, each bringing a possible sentence of two to six years, Prugo is potentially facing serious time. In October, he confessed to police without first getting a deal. For weeks after he was arrested, on September 17 (after being fingered by a tipster), he denied everything; but then, he says, he was finding it difficult to breathe, sleep, eat -
"I was even losing my hair."
"He confessed to crimes we didn't even know he committed," Officer Brett Goodkin, the lead investigator in the case, said on the phone. "Even though I was charged with more, you know, things," Prugo said, "I still think it was the right thing to do."
He said that on the night of the Bloom burglary "my parents were out of town. Alexis's mom had kicked her out of the house. So Alexis moved in with me." Neiers also told cops that her "mother kicked her out of her home." Prugo, according to the L.A.P.D. report, said the reason was that Neiers had been smoking OxyContin. "Obviously it’s not true," says Neiers. "Nick Prugo’s credibility is questionable at best," says her lawyer, Jeffery Rubenstein.
"Miranda Kerr, a Victoria's Secret model, was dating Orlando Bloom, and Rachel [Lee] wanted Victoria's Secret model clothes," said Prugo. Lee's lawyer, Peter Korn, would say only, "I don’t want to participate in the media attention in this case."
"We planned to meet" at Bloom's, Prugo said. "Me and Alexis met Rachel and Diana. We went up to the house." The surveillance video from Bloom's residence on the night of the robbery shows four youthful-looking figures coming up a lamplit hill, all covering their heads with their arms and hoods while walking backward, apparently trying to hide their faces from security cameras. "How would a drunk person, so sick, throwing up," as Neiers claimed she was, "be walking backwards up a hill?," Prugo asked.
Whenever they robbed celebrities' homes, Prugo said, it went like this: "You grabbed a suitcase and filled it up with whatever you wanted." He said Lee called it "going shopping."
"In [Bloom's] master bedroom, Rachel found a stash of Rolexes and, like, fifteen hundred dollars. Alexis grabbed a Louis Vuitton laptop-size bag and she was rocking it as a purse. Miranda Kerr had a dress there by Alex Perry like, a one-of-a-kind runway dress. She took that."
The Bloom surveillance video shows two of the four figures coming and going up and down the hill with large bags several times between three and four a.m. The bags are so unwieldy that one of the figures stumbles. Prugo said that he and Neiers left around five a.m., but Lee and Tamayo went back inside because, Lee said, "I want artwork 'cause I'm moving to Vegas and I want stuff to decorate my house."
Some time later, Prugo said, he sold most of Bloom's Rolexes to Johnny Ajar, a.k.a. "Johnny Dangerous," and, according to the police report, their "fence" a thuggish ex-con and promoter at Les Deux who would allegedly get Prugo and his under-age friends into the club. When cops searched Ajar's home, they found Brian Austin Green's pistol. Ajar is now in Los Angeles's Twin Tower Correctional Facility, charged with possession of narcotics and a firearm. "He gave us $5,000 for, like, 10 Rolexes," Prugo said, "which is I guess a ripoff now that I think of it."
Ajar's lawyer, Michael Goldstein, says, "I find it troubling that Prugo, who according to most of the players is the mastermind of these burglaries along with Lee, is now implicating everyone else while my client remains incarcerated."
"I Loved Her"
It was left to the adults dealing with the aftermath of the Bling Ring cops, lawyers, the victims to ask "Why?" "Why did they do this?" asked Audrina Patridge, whose home was burglarized on February 22, 2009, Oscar night. "I watched the surveillance videos," she said, "expecting it to be these big scary guys, and instead it was these two kids", allegedly Lee and Prugo.
In the grainy video, a girl and boy who seem to resemble Prugo and Lee enter Patridge's Hollywood Hills home (they got in through an unlocked door). They pick through her things. The girl looks composed; the boy looks jumpy.
"They took bags and bags of stuff," Patridge said. "They took my great grandma's jewelry, my passport, my laptop, jeans made to fit my body to my perfect shape." The estimated value of her stolen property was $43,000. Patridge said she believes the thieves were motivated by her fame. "Rachel Lee was a big fan of me. I was her target," she said she'd heard from cops. "She's a little obsessed girl, I gotta tell you. She's going to get what she deserves."
"Were teenagers too enthralled by stars?" asked The New York Times. "They did it for the money. This was their job," said Officer Goodkin, who took over the case from detectives when Prugo's lawyer approached him with his client's confession. But Goodkin said he was also struck by the "stalkerish" aspect of the crimes. "It may be a stretch, but is wanting to wear somebody's clothes that different from wanting to wrap yourself up in their skin, like that guy in The Silence of the Lambs?"
Meanwhile, Prugo said that he and his accomplices never discussed "why." "We just did it. I know it sounds dumb, but Rachel just wanted the clothes. She wanted to look pretty." As for himself, Prugo said, "I was just following Rachel. I loved her almost like a sister."
Nick Prugo met Rachel Lee in 2006 at Indian Hills, where he had transferred after being kicked out of Calabasas High School for excessive absences. He was a troubled kid who had been diagnosed with A.D.H.D., for which he was prescribed Concerta, and "anxiety issues," for which he was given Zoloft. He said that Lee was "the first person I felt was, like, my best friend." They became "inseparable," in constant contact, phoning, IMing, texting.
She was a fashionable girl whom Prugo and Neiers describe as "spoiled" and "haughty." She had troubles of her own; apparently she didn't get along with her mother, Vickie Kwon, a North Korean immigrant and owner of two centers of the tutoring company Kumon. Prugo claims, "Rachel hates her stepfather," whom her mother married when Lee was in her early teens. (Neither Lee nor Kwon responded to requests for comment.)
Around this time, Prugo said, he was also becoming estranged from his parents, Melva Lynn and Frank, a senior vice president at IM Global, a film and television sales and distribution company, and the foreign sales agent for the low budget blockbuster Paranormal Activity. "Me and my parents had a falling out," Prugo said, not wishing to elaborate. "I can't blame them. Whatever I've done, it's my responsibility."
He said that he and his new friend, Lee, "bonded over fashion. I like fashion, I like clothes. I like to think that I'm a stylish guy." He dreamed of designing his own line, as did Lee, who talked about attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in L.A. "A lot of the Hills girls went there."
Throughout the 10th grade, Prugo said, they were a couple of "carefree kids," "smoking weed, hanging out at Zuma Beach, going to parties with a lot of under age kids doing beer pong." And then, that summer, things started to change, when Prugo said Lee proposed they rob the house of a boy in Woodland Hills whom Prugo knew to be out of town. "I'm like, O.K., whatever, just wanting to please her."
"I'm in the house," he said, "walking back and forth, freaking out. I mean, it's weird to go through somebody's things." But Lee, he said, was always "very into it, focused", so relaxed that when they burglarized the home of Rachel Bilson, on May 9, Lee took the time to go into the bathroom and have a bowel movement.
At that first burglary in the Valley, Prugo said, Lee found a box with $8,000 in cash under a bed. Which calmed him down. "We each get four grand. Like, this isn't so bad. We didn't kill anybody." The next day, they went shopping on Rodeo Drive.
Prugo said they fell into a nearly nightly ritual they called "checking cars", taking credit cards and cash from unlocked Bentleys, Mercedeses, and other fancy rides parked in their neighborhood. The next day, they'd go shopping. "We'd go to, like, Kitson," a Melrose boutique popular with starlets. "We'd walk in, stylized and beautiful. We'd use the cards—no one would question."
Meanwhile, Prugo said, he was developing a cocaine habit, "so I was also stealing for drugs." (Arrested for possession in 2009, he's entered into a Deferred Entry of Judgment program, hoping to get the charge dismissed. He says he's clean now.)
He says he doesn't remember exactly why he and Lee decided to start burglarizing celebrities' homes, except that "these were women with, like, fashion sense. Rachel watched The Hills, Gossip Girl, all those shows. She loved their clothes." They started "checking up on celebrity Web sites. We'd be like a little research team." They'd drive by celebrities' homes to do surveillance, figuring out how to get in.
They picked Paris Hilton as their first victim, Prugo said, because they figured she was "dumb." "Like, who would leave a door unlocked? Who would leave a lot of money lying around?"
One night in October of 2008, he says, he and Lee entered Hilton's sprawling tile-roofed mansion in a gated community in the Hollywood Hills, opening the front door with a key they had found under the mat. "Stupid," Prugo said, shrugging. He said he found the sensation of suddenly being in Hilton's home "horrifying. There was that percentage of 'Wow, this is Paris Hilton's house,' but as soon as I put my foot in the door I was just wanting to run out."
He says he served as a lookout at the top of the stairs while Lee went into Hilton's bedroom to search for valuables. "I was sweating unnaturally.  She was like, It's fine, it's fine, let's keep going."
Lee took some expensive bras and a designer dress that night, he says (he can't remember which; there would be so many). They took a bottle of Grey Goose vodka from Hilton's "nightclub room." They took "crumpled cash," he claims, "fifties, hundreds," from Hilton's purses.
The idea was to take so little that the heiress wouldn't notice, and so they could come back again. Hilton actually didn’t notice or at least didn't report any of the Bling Ring burglaries until December 19, 2008, when Roy Lopez allegedly stole close to $2 million worth of her jewelry, stuffing it into one of her Louis Vuitton tote bags. Lopez has been charged with one count of residential burglary. His lawyer, David Diamond, says his client "did not steal anything" from Hilton.
"We found about, like, five grams of coke in Paris's house" on another night, Prugo told police; he says they snorted it and left. Then they "drove around Mulholland, having the best time of our lives."
"I don't know why anyone would listen to allegations made by a self confessed thief," said Dawn Miller, a rep for Hilton.
At Alexis Neiers's home in Westlake Village on the afternoon of her arraignment, the E! reality crew was filming a scene in which Neiers's parents recount for their younger daughter, Gabrielle, what happened in court that day. Neiers's mother, Andrea Arlington Dunn, and father, Mikel Neiers, stood in the living room, taking direction from E! supervising producer Gennifer Gardiner, who was feeding them lines: "Tell her, 'Everything's going to be O.K., Gabby.'"
"Everything's going to be O.K., Gabby," said Dunn, who was still dressed for court in a brown suit. A former Playboy Playmate, Dunn, now married to Jerry Dunn, a production designer for television, is a masseuse and holistic health care practitioner. Their house, which sits on a rolling, manicured street, is decorated with religious talismans and floor standing statues of Buddha which Dunn said she got at the closing of a Thai restaurant.
Mikel Neiers, Alexis's father, a tall man in a blazer and jeans, a former director of photography on Friends who Alexis says "has been in the industry forever", was looking rather shell-shocked. "He doesn't really have a place right now," Dunn said, explaining why her ex-husband sometimes lives with the family.
 (Her father declined to comment on this.) Continuing on the theme of her difficulties, she said, "I had a boyfriend who was into drugs."
Alexis's "dysfunctional background" was the reason why, she said, she "related so well" to Tess Taylor, who sometimes also lives in the Neiers-Dunn household. Taylor, 20, a Playboy Cyber Girl, is still being investigated for her role in the Bling Ring burglaries, according to sources in the L.A.P.D. Taylor's lawyer, Jeffery Rubenstein, had no comment.
Alexis met Taylor (a stage name; her real name is Adler), a dark-haired bombshell, in ballet class when they were toddlers. "We took her in" six years ago, Alexis said.  She said she doesn't know where her mother is. "I feel like she's my other half," said Alexis, "I love to go out and dance with my sister." They can also be seen making out with each other in the straight-to-DVD teen flick Frat Party.
It was their ubiquity on the Hollywood club scene that got E! interested in the girls for their reality show, tentatively titled Pretty Wild, last year. The pilot, which airs in March; unfortunately, I may be in it, having been around while they were filming includes a wild night in which Alexis and Taylor hit the club Wonderland in Hollywood with their friend rapper Mickey Avalon. "He's such an awesome guy!" Alexis says.
The morning after, October 22, the L.A.P.D. showed up at Alexis's door with a search warrant. In the house, cops found a Marc Jacobs handbag allegedly belonging to Rachel Bilson and a Chanel necklace allegedly belonging to Lindsay Lohan. Alexis denies stealing the items, saying, "I have receipts for everything." The reality crew cameras kept rolling as Alexis exited Van Nuys Jail that night after being bailed out on a $50,000 bond. Taylor was released after questioning.

"How is our friend today?" D— asked, not taking his eyes off the file.
"Sleeping it off, sir."
D— looked up at that, prompting M— to continue: "It's day five of the current cycle, sir." A shrug. "He gets to sleep. Anyway, the doctor recommended it after Friday's interrogation."
Pacified, D— slid the file towards himself across the desk, like it was paper-thin and couldn't be pinched and lifted. With the other hand he flicked over his glasses and put them on. Both hands reached the file as it overlapped the desk edge and began to turn over the sheets from right to left: notes of sessions were filed on top as they were completed. D—'s bottom lip jutted out further and further as he read, and his nostrils flared occasionally as if at a bad smell.
M—, for his part, registered a different kind of distaste and dismay. He continued with the delicate but petulant air of someone spitting out cat-litter like cherry stones, one lump at a time.
"As you can see, sir," he clipped, "we've tried almost all of our techniques on him. All the major incentivization types in the Orange Book. Nothing has worked. So for the recent interviews we sought permission for... special dispensation."
D— was nodding. "A—'s idea, I'm sure?"
M—'s mouth tightened. As D— looked up at him for an answer, he just nodded, and his hand clenched briefly on the rest of the wodge of paper he carried before relaxing with a controlled slowness. There was a pause. D— sometimes used pauses to take stock of his visitors, and though everybody in his department knew it there were few who could resist the pull of the long silences. (Look at the file.) He looked up at M—, who had assumed an air of unconcern. No, unconcern wasn't it: it was distance: from the office, from the file, from its contents. D— decided that he'd make sure that M— would get a holiday in the next round of leave-taking, whenever that happened. (Look back at the file; pause, another second or two.) But for now....
"And?" D— rapped out, his eyes leaping up again.
M— started a little, stifled the movement. "And: nothing. A lot of shouting. Quite strained at times. You can see the notes for yourself. Sir."
"Yes, so I can see. He gets quite repetitive towards the end, I see. That could be some sort of conditioning taking over, of course.... But you'd disagree."
M— was having difficulty keeping calm. "Well, sir. By that point—approximately where he switches from sustained please to Allah to a mixture of that and exhortations that he won't talk—A— was applying a particular treatment of his own devising, whereby-"
"Yes, yes, M—," interrupted D—. "I'm aware of your unease at some of the methods A— seems so fond of. That's why I let him conduct his enquiries, but let you write and file the reports. I trust your judgement in these matters...."
He left the rest of the sentence to the clock. But. But it was necessary. But it was wrong. But they were so close. But the young man could not yet be fully implicated. But they had intelligence. But he apparently did not even know the password. But they had processed him as thoroughly as they dared. But he had raved. But: no answer. But. But.
But did he, the detainee, know the secret after all?
"M—!" This time, the junior jumped noticeably, an inch or two. "I do trust your judgment. But I trust your Turkish even more. You translated all of this, didn't you?"
"Yes, sir, as instructed." He was trying to work out where this was leading. "We've let him speak in whatever language he wanted since day three of the last cycle."
"He says here-" D— prodded the page, turning the file a little towards M—: "-he's promised to be silent."
"And I ask him, promised who."
"Whom," D— said absent-mindedly. "But what did he actually say? In Turkish, not your translation" M— began to scrabble through the papers he was carrying but D— continued. "I might not have used the language properly for years but this-" he tapped the page repeatedly: "is ringing a bell. A faint, rusty bell. Well?"
M— had dropped a sheet of paper. As he picked it up he dropped another, but suddenly had the whole bundle under control and was riffling through it, licking his fingers and turning pages the right way round. D— stopped tapping the file and started tapping a pen on the desk, which served to increase the tempo of M—'s rummaging.
"He talks about fasting here," mused D—, almost to himself, "before he loses control...."
M— found the page, and read out in Turkish:
"'I have made a vow of silence.'"
D— replied sententiously, completing the couplet, and surprised himself: "'I am not talking today to anyone.'"
"Later he says: 'I have declared a fast for the Almighty.'"
"'And I will not talk today of mankind,'" D— finished
They looked at each other, and D— began to grin a toothy grin.
"The Quran." M—, in contrast, was touched. "It's just the Quran, sir. Two different versions, I think. He's praying."
"Maybe he is. But I don't think so." D— gestured for the notes, which M— handed over. "Towards the end of the interrogation," D— mused, "what was he saying then? 'I will not talk. I will not talk. I will not talk.' Is that what you'd say, if you were in his situation? Hmm? I hardly think so. Whatever happened to a simple 'no'? Right, where are the encrypted documents?" He moved over to his computer and began searching, all the while continuing to talk.
"This could be it, M—.... But get the rest of your transcripts. Bring them all up here. I want us to start looking for repetition of religious phrases. I can't believe we haven't thought of this before. Ah, here they are." He tapped his mouse to open the files, and looked up.
"All the transcripts. From all the detainees."
As D— returned to the computer M— made to leave. "The ends do justify the means, then," he said, but quietly: he knew from past experience that it now wouldn't be heard. Pausing at the door, he felt that there was more to come from his superior, before he could consider himself dismissed.
D— was slowly and painfully typing a word of Turkish script into the box on the screen: I will not talk. As he started to hunt for the last few letters, he shouted over to M—: "This could be the victory we're looking for. We might have saved lives by the time the cleaners come round.  M— closed the door as D— pressed the enter key.

How did the 'process over product' concept affect the way you tackled the site redesign and rebuild?
It helped me focus on what the overall goal was, or is, at this stage. I found myself spending a lot of time with the little aesthetic things like font/background colour and padding size, but I had to remind myself that the main purpose at the moment is to create a website that functions well. The code, test, redo approach can be useful in terms of just understanding what exactly an element does, and how it can be manipulated.
What did you think about meditation before reading chapter 2?
I think meditation is a very important, although misunderstood and undervalued, part of life. Personally, I don't do it often enough. But I do also believe in finding something to do, that works for you, that can relax your mind - be it gardening or having a walk in a park or, in my case, running and playing guitar.
What new things have you learnt about meditation?
Following your breath and focusing on it is a very important concept. Breathing as if your life depends on it is a very good mantra to have at the forefront of your mind. I do find myself getting distracted by other things and thoughts when meditating, but focussing on the breath really brings everything back to centre.
Did any of the suggested meditation techniques stand out to you?
The grandmother mind - adopting the mind of a loving grandmother - is a great concept. We need to be gentle with ourselves, and the more we adopt this technique ( and meditation in general ) the more of a habit it becomes.


GrSetAreaAttr(), GrSetLineAttr(), GrSetTextAttr()
The graphics system keeps track of many attributes which affect how graphics will be drawn. By setting attributes in the graphics state, your geode can change the color, fill pattern, and other features that won't affect the shape of what you're drawing but will affect its appearance.
The following sections will explain how each of these attributes may be set individually. Note that if you wish to set all attributes to use when filling areas at once, call
GrSetAreaAttr()
. Call
GrSetLineAttr()
to set all attributes to use when drawing lines. Use
GrSetTextAttr()
to set all text-rendering attributes.


The following sections provide examples of the different ways to connect to a SQL Server database by using the SQLServerConnection class of the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver.
Creating a Connection by Using the DriverManager Class
The simplest approach to creating a connection to a SQL Server database is to load the JDBC driver and call the getConnection method of the DriverManager class, as in the following:
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"); String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;database=AdventureWorks;integratedSecurity=true;" Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
This technique will create a database connection using the first available driver in the list of drivers that can successfully connect with the given URL.
Creating a Connection by Using the SQLServerDriver Class
If you have to specify a particular driver in the list of drivers for DriverManager, you can create a database connection by using the connect method of the SQLServerDriver class, as in the following:
Driver d = (Driver) Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver").newInstance(); String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;database=AdventureWorks;integratedSecurity=true;" Connection con = d.connect(connectionUrl, new Properties());
Creating a Connection by Using the SQLServerDataSource Class
If you have to create a connection by using the SQLServerDataSource class, you can use various setter methods of the class before you call the getConnection method, as in the following:
SQLServerDataSource ds = new SQLServerDataSource(); ds.setUser("MyUserName"); ds.setPassword("*****"); ds.setServerName("localhost"); ds.setPortNumber(1433); ds.setDatabaseName("AdventureWorks"); Connection con = ds.getConnection();
Creating a Connection that Targets a Very Specific Data Source
If you have to make a database connection that targets a very specific data source, there are a number of approaches that you can take. Each approach depends on the properties that you set by using the connection URL.
To connect to the default instance on a remote server, use the following:
String url = "jdbc:sqlserver://MyServer;integratedSecurity=true;"
To connect to a specific port on a server, use the following:
String url = "jdbc:sqlserver://MyServer:1533;integratedSecurity=true;"
To connect to a named instance on a server, use the following:
String url = "jdbc:sqlserver://<IP_ADDRESS>;instanceName=INSTANCE1;integratedSecurity=true;"
To connect to a specific database on a server, use the following:
String url = "jdbc:sqlserver://<IP_ADDRESS>;database=AdventureWorks;integratedSecurity=true;"
For more connection URL examples, see Building the Connection URL.
Creating a Connection with a Custom Login Time-out
If you have to adjust for server load or network traffic, you can create a connection that has a specific login time-out value described in seconds, as in the following:
String url = "jdbc:sqlserver://MyServer;loginTimeout=90;integratedSecurity=true;"
Create a Connection with Application-level Identity
If you have to use logging and profiling, you will have to identify your connection as originating from a specific application, as in the following:
String url = "jdbc:sqlserver://MyServer;applicationName=MYAPP.EXE;integratedSecurity=true;"
Closing a Connection
You can explicitly close a database connection by calling the close method of the SQLServerConnection class, as in the following:
con.close();
This will release the database resources that the SQLServerConnection object is using, or return the connection to the connection pool in pooled scenarios.

Capoc (Cave Point Clouds and Meshes) is a tool for immersive browsing of 3D cave models, registering models and taking virtual measurements from within the model.
This tutorial serves as documentation of Capoc until something better is written. Since the browsing function is rather intuitive, it focuses on registration (ie. aligning a SfM model with a real-world cave survey polygon) and taking virtual measurements.
Download capoc-windows.zip and extract it to a convenient location. Capoc does not need installing.
Download the example data coming along with this tutorial: capoc-example.zip. Extract the archive contents to a convenient location.
Open the top menu and select File / Open model. Select the sfm_cave.ply from the example data set.
Again go to the top menu, this time selecting File / Open NVM. Choose the NVM file example.nvm from the nvm subdirectory of the example data set
If you click on Images in the left pane of the main window, a list of files should appear. Double click the first file P8172450.JPG. A photograph from our example cave should appear in the right pane.
Now right click the image file name and select Assume pose
You should see a 3D view of the cave. Holding left mouse key pressed, drag mouse around the window to change viewing angles. You can also use a/s/d/w keys to navigate the model. If you step back (pressing s), you will notice the model is actually upside down. To fix it, we will align the model to a real world cave survey, locating four survey stations on the SfM photographs.
Again double click the image file name. Notice the survey station marking on a rock in the bottom right corner of the picture. Using right mouse button, drag the red cross onto this marking. Then press and hold shift, and holding the key right-drag so that the range indication (the circle around the cross) is only slightly bigger than the cross itself.
Now go to the top menu and select NVM / Reproject pixel
If all goes well, the cursor will turn green and the status bar at the window bottom should indicate some 3D coordinates. After the reprojection, the cursor might move slightly or stay in the same place. At this stage, either is fine.
If it is not the case and the status bar reads Reprojection failed, you need to reposition the cursor - and probably increase the reprojection range (ie. make the circle around cursor bigger). After that, select NVM / Reproject pixel again.
Now go to the left pane of the main window and find the sfm_cave file within the Models group. Right-click the file name to open a menu. Select Add point.
In the newly open window, name this point dep.1 (the name is very important). Click OK to save the point.
Double click P8172466.JPG. Locate the "0" point marking (near the middle of right edge). Move the reprojection cursor to this point (with right-dragging). Again use NVM / Reproject pixel and Add point to find and store 3D coordinates. Store this point as dep.0
You need at least four points to define an affine transformation, so still two to go. Double click P8172482.JPG and notice another surveying station near the middle of the top edge. Reproject this point and save it as dep.2
The last example point is located on P8172975.JPG. There is a small "3" on the rock not far from the bottom left corner. Reproject this point and save it as dep.3
Use File / Open model... and load the cave survey file from svx subdirectory (the filename is dep.3d). This file contains real world coordinates for surveying stations.
Now if you browse the point list, it will become clear why the point names were so important: the names we had used match exactly the station names occuring in dep.3d
Right click dep.3d in the left pane. When a menu opens, select Set as master. This lets capoc know which of the loaded models is the real world (in terms of coordinate systems).
Now right click sfm_cave.ply and select Transform / Transform to master
Seemingly nothing interesting happened. However, right click P8172466.JPG and select Assume pose. You will see that the cave model is now rotated and scaled to match the imported survey.
Click View / Message log to see more detailed information on the transformation process.
Select View / Xsect. Zoom in using the = key (or View / Zoom in a couple of times). Right click somewhere on the cross section and drag the mouse, holding right mouse button pressed - a straight line will appear. This is how simple virtual measurements in Capoc are made. You can see the line length and orientation on the status bar (bottom of the window).
Now press and hold Shift. With Shift pressed, right click somewhere on the wall within the cross-section and holding both the right mouse button and shift, drag the mouse. With this action, a piece of the 3D model is marked with yellow colour.
Select View / Caver. If you back away a little (with s key), you will notice the selection is also visible on the perspective view.
Now we will measure the average orientation of the selected part of the model. Right-click sfm_cave.ply. Select Selection / Fit plane.
The fitted plane is indicated on the 3D view with randomly scattered blue dots and a blue line representing the normal vector. Verify if makes sense, and if so, take notice of the readings visible on status bar.

Unai Emery told Arsenal missed chance to sign two Premier League defenders in summer
Former Gunners favourite Charlie Nicholas says the Arsenal squad don't have any personalities, and they could have rectified that with a couple of summer additions
by Mark Jones, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/mark-jones/Unai Emery missed the chance to rectify Arsenal's defensive problems in the summer, according to former Gunner Charlie Nicholas.
The Spanish boss is coming under increasing pressure in his role, with the North Londoners slipping out of touch with the top four in the Premier League as they've won just one of their last five top-flight games.
They also exited the Carabao Cup to Liverpool last week, and conceded a late goal to draw 1-1 at Portuguese side Vitoria in the Europa League on Wednesday afternoon.
Following the departure of Laurent Koscielny ahead of this season, Emery has used the likes of David Luiz, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Rob Holding, Calum Chambers and Shkodran Mustafi at centre-back this season.
The Gunners did sign youngster William Saliba in the summer, but he has been loaned back to Saint-Etienne.
But Nicholas says that Emery should have moved for England internationals Chris Smalling and Gary Cahill, with Smalling joining Roma on loan from Manchester United and Cahill making a permanent switch from Chelsea to Crystal Palace .
"Arsenal don’t sign personalities," Nicholas told Sky Sports .
"Sadly I have to go way back to David Dein and he would sit down with Arsene Wenger and ask what kind of character he was signing. That’s gone now.
"It’s as if Arsenal sign players because they are desperate.
"Why not – and I don’t know how much he would have cost – go and get Chris Smalling from Manchester United in the summer before he went to Roma? Because he’d be better than what they had.
"They could’ve had Gary Cahill from Chelsea and sat him in the defence.
"He is better than what they have and is also a leader, but they missed out."
The Gunners go to Leicester in the Premier League on Saturday, when a defeat could leave them nine points outside the top four.

Man struck by alleged distracted driver while crossing Bellevue street
by KOMO News StaffBELLEVUE, Wash. -- A man crossing a Bellevue street was critically injured when he was stuck by an alleged distracted driver Sunday evening.
It was just after 7 p.m. when the victim was crossing 145th Place SE in a crosswalk at SE 18th Street when the crash occurred.
Medics took the man to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where he was being treated for life-threatening injuries, Bellevue Police said.
The driver stayed on scene and was cooperating with police, officials said. Investigators believe he was being distracted when the crash occurred.

7.1 Description of Sets
Sets are
unordered collections of related members in which no members
occur more than once. Formally, sets are written with braces
around them. Thus, if S is a
set containing the members 1, 2, and 3, then S = {1, 2, 3}. Of course, because a
set is unordered, this is the same as writing S = {3, 2, 1}. If a member, m, is in a set, S, then
membership is indicated by writing m ∈ S
; otherwise, m S. For example, in the set S = {1, 2, 3}, 2 ∈ S, but 4 S. To effectively use sets, we should
be familiar with some definitions, basic operations, and
properties.
7.1.1 Definitions
-
A set containing no members is the empty set. The set of all possible members is the universe. (Of course, sometimes the
universe is difficult to determine!) In set notation:
-
Two sets are equal if
they contain exactly the same members. For example, if S1 = {1, 2, 3}, S2 = {3, 2, 1}, and
S3 = {1, 2, 4},
then S1 is equal
to S2, but S1 is not equal to S3. In set notation:
-
One set, S1, is a subset of another set,
S2, if S2 contains all of the
members of S1. For
example, if S1 =
{1, 3}, S2 = {1,
2, 3}, and S3 =
{1, 2}, then S1 is
a subset of S2,
but S1 is not a
subset of S3. In
set notation,
7.1.2 Basic Operations
-
The union of two sets, S1 and S2, is a set, Su, that contains all of the
members of S1 in
addition to all of the members of S2. For example, if
S1 = {1, 2, 3} and
S2 = {3, 4}, then
Su = {1, 2, 3, 4}. In set
notation:
-
The intersection of two sets, S1 and S2, is a set, Si , that contains only the members
that exist in both S1 and S2. For example, if
S1 = {1, 2, 3} and
S2 = {1, 2}, then
Si = {1, 2}. In set
notation:
-
The difference of two sets, S1 and S2, is a set, Sd, that contains all of the
members of S1
except those in S2. For example, if
S1 = {1, 2, 3} and
S2 = {3, 4}, then
Sd = {1, 2}. In set
notation:
7.1.3 Properties
-
The intersection
of a set with the empty set is the empty set. The union of a
set with the empty set is the original set. This behavior is
described by the empty set
laws:
-
The intersection of a set with itself is
the original set. Similarly, the union of a set with itself is the original
set. This behavior is described by the idempotency laws:
-
The intersection of a set, S1, with another set,
S2, results in the
same set as the intersection of S2 with S1. The same is true for
the union of two sets. This behavior is described by the
commutative laws:
-
The intersection of a number of sets can be
performed in any order (see Figure
7.1). The same is true for the union of a number of
sets. This behavior is described by the associative laws:
-
The intersection of a set with the union of
two others can be carried out in a distributed manner. The
same is true for the union of a set with the intersection of
two others. This behavior is described by the distributive laws :
-
The intersection of a set with the union of
itself and another results in the original set. The same is
true for the union of a set with the intersection of itself
and another. This behavior is described by the absorption laws:
-
An interesting result occurs when the
difference of one set is taken with either the intersection
or union of two others. The resulting behavior is described
by DeMorgan's laws:

Using UTK C++ library
Linking and Building
Most of UTK is header only. Hence, setting include path to include/
is sufficient. However, some code provided by authors are not header only and should be compiled along your project.
If building with CMake, you may use the following lines to get all files required:
find_package(UTK)
# Depending on install location, the following line may be better
# find_package(UTK PATHS PATH_TO_UTK)
target_link_libraries(YOUR_TARGET UTK_LIBRARY)
See the documentation and examples/
folder for more information.
Using UTK Library with externals Point formats
Points and pointsets have many different formats. UTK uses it’s own, but have been designed to be integrated with many other.
Internally, the utk::Poinset
is a std::shared_ptr
.
The class can be constructed in the following ways :
utk::Poinset<Type>(uint n, uint d)
: Construct a pointset. The memory will be owned by the object. Copies will share the same memory.utk::Poinset<Type>::View(T* data, uint n, uint d)
: Creates a wrapper around existing memory. The memory will not be deleted automatically, it is to the user to delete it properly.utk::Poinset<Type>::Copy(const T* data, uint n, uint d)
: Copies the data. The memory will be owned by the returning object.
Only C-style linear buffers are supported.
Important note : Points might be stored in particular structures such as struct Point{ float x, y; };
and arrays are built
upon such as : std::vector<Point>
. While technically undefined behavior (but so many codes depends on it, so it may be considered safe), it is possible to obtain an utk::Pointset<float>
with the line utk::Pointset<float>::View(static_cast<float*>(vector.data()), N, D)
; but be sure that your data are properly packed and aligned. In particular, make sure that there is no other attributes. For instance : struct Point{ float* point; unsigned int N};
and struct { std::vector<float> point; };
are not valid and copies will be necessary !
Miscellaneous notes :
How to control parallelism ?: UTK parallelism is handled with the OpenMP library. Most sampler use only
a single thread (/!\ that does not mean they are thread-safe !!!) but metrics are multi-threaded. There are two main ways to control the number of threads :
using the openmp library directly in the code omp_set_num_threads
or setting the OMP_NUM_THREADS
environment variable. By defaults, all available threads are used.
How to control logging ?: The library might be built without support for logging at all (with the UTK_LOG
CMake option). This is discouraged though. The logger can be partially interacted with, using the following maccros : UTK_LOG_DISABLE()
, UTK_LOG_ENABLE()
, UTK_LOG_CONSOLE()
(which set log destination to standard output) and UTK_LOG_FILE(filepath)
to log directly into a file.
Why is each Sampler / Metric a separate class without any base class ? : Short answer : so that code can be extracted more easily. While UTK is a library in itself, it may serve as a sampler code repository. Technically, it is possible to have maccros that enables class dependancy on a common class and while it might be added latter, it is believed that it would add too much complexity for now…
How to make a function that takes a sampler as parameter?: Templates ! To run the same function on multiple templates, consider variadic templates and parameter pack expansion (see examples !). While not having a common base class, every sampler have the same generation method !
