What are you waiing for?  So, just Sign up? But, beware with great power comes great responsibilities. Sign up only when you are ready . . .
Yes I know, you probably feel disappointed that you are not worthy.
Yup, that is true XD
Well, the sign up is actually disabled to avoid fakes. So you'll need the administrator to create an account for you.


In putative Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBSs) identification from sequence/alignments, we are interested in the significance of certain match score. TFMPvalue provides the accurate calculation of P-value with score threshold for Position Weight Matrices, or the score with given P-value. It is an interface to code originally made available by Helene Touzet and Jean-Stephane Varre, 2007, Algorithms Mol Biol:2, 15. Touzet and Varre (2007) <doi:10.1186/1748-7188-2-15>.

Introduction
The purpose of this website is to introduce machine learning (ML) in an intuitive and ”weird" way with as little discomfort as possible. The links are self-contained and only basic calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics are needed (background links will be provided for people who are new or need refreshers). Any other prior knowledge will be introduced as we go along.
Artificial intelligence (AI), specifically machine learning, is one of the hottest fields right now, attracting talent from many different crafts. Almost every single executive in industry and academia agree that AI/ML will disrupt every industry and displace more jobs than it creates. Machine learning drives everything we do, from political campaigns to wall street. The time to adapt and learn AI/ML is now!
CS229 (Machine Learning) at Stanford is one of most famous classes in the world, attracting a variety of majors, from polysci to economics to physics. However, there is one issue with Stanford. To a newcomer, all the convoluted math can be pretty daunting. And other resources on the web might not introduce the material in an intuitive enough manner.
This website finds the sweet spot. It presents everything (math included) in an easy to understand way, with "weird" imagery/analogy.
What do I mean by "weird"?
Innovation is combining different ideas to perform better than their predecessors, individually. Richard Feynman said that what makes him great is his ability to represent everything he learns in 5 or 6 different ways. Even the way humans learn is by subconsciously relating new knowledge to existing knowledge.
Weird imagery is the best kind of imagery. It combines various ideas, ranging from Deliberate Practice to The Method of Loci. Weird analogies force you to truly use your imagination. Your smell. Your sight. Your taste buds. Weird imagery put you in a moment that you won't forget, if done properly. Weird analogies, most importantly, force you to truly understand the material.
For instance, if I told you to remember the number<PHONE_NUMBER>0, could you do it (assuming you have no eidetic memory)? More powerful than mnemonics and rote learning, is to use weird imagery and analogy.
Read this next section slowly. Take your time thinking through this scenario. Let's break it down to 131-784-583-20.
Imagine you were at your house.
Right when you walk in, you see three HUGE balloons. The balloons are shaped like 1-3-1. They're gold balloons. They're majestically floating over you, as if they were alive. It smells like helium.
You're surprised as to why there is a 131 balloon by your doorway. You don't recall today being anyone's 131st birthday. So, you walk to your mom in the dining room looking for answers.
When you get to the dining room, your questions don't subtract, they multiply. Things just get weirder. When you get there, you don't see your mom. At least not how you expect. You see the 7-year old version of your mom.
You’re utterly confused and petrified. You have no idea what's going on. You begin to panic and believe you are hallucinating. So you walk to your room to take a nap, hoping you will wake up and everything will be back to normal.
When you get to you room, you feel safe. You see something recognizable. You see you dad, a 58-year old man, sitting on your chair, shooting a 3-pointer on the basketball goal in your room. You feel at home again.
Take your time. Truly internalize these scenarios. You get quicker with practice.
Now, just use your regular memory to remember the number 20. This is the end of the sequence.
Wait five minutes…
Can you walk through that sequence in your head to remember the number? If done correctly, it should be pretty easy. A huge 1-3-1 balloon. Your 7-year old mom ate (8) a 4-leaf clover waffle. Your 58-year old dad shooting a 3-pointer in your room. The number 20. 131-784-583-20. Easy!
The analogies have to be weird. Try it over and over. It will be uncomfortable, and you'll feel corny at times, but do it! You'll get quicker and more efficient the more you do it.
After a lot of practice, you’ll see patterns and form analogies subconsciously. Forming analogies like this not only help you remember, but force you to understand a new subject more deeply.
This is the foundation on which I will explain machine learning.

Core classes compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)¶ ↑
-
See above.
-
These methods no longer return an Enumerator, although passing a block is still supported for backwards compatibility.
Code like str.lines.with_index(1) { |line, lineno| … } no longer works because str.lines returns an array. Replace lines with each_line in such cases.
-
These methods are deprecated in favor of each_line, each_byte, each_char and each_codepoint.
-
Proc#==
-
These methods were removed. Two procs are == only when they are the same object.
-
Fixnum
-
Bignum
-
Fixnums, Bignums and Floats are frozen.
-
See above.
-
Merge Onigmo. github.com/k-takata/Onigmo
-
The :close_others option is true by default for system() and exec(). Also, the close-on-exec flag is set by default for all new file descriptors. This means file descriptors doesn't inherit to spawned process unless explicitly requested such as system(…, fd=>fd).
-
Kernel#respond_to? against a protected method now returns false unless the second argument is true.
-
Kernel#respond_to_missing?
-
Kernel#initialize_clone
-
Kernel#initialize_dup
These methods are now private.
-
See above.
-
Mutex#lock, Mutex#unlock, Mutex#try_lock, Mutex#synchronize and Mutex#sleep
See above.
Stdlib updates (outstanding ones only)¶ ↑
-
cgi
-
Add HTML5 tag maker.
-
CGI#header has been renamed to CGI#http_header and aliased to CGI#header.
-
When HTML5 tagmaker called, overwrite CGI#header, CGI#header function is to create a <header> element.
-
-
-
Removed CSV::dump and CSV::load to protect users from dangerous serialization vulnerability
-
-
iconv
-
Iconv has been removed. Use String#encode instead.
-
-
io/console
-
new methods:
-
added IO#cooked which sets the terminal to cooked mode within the given block.
-
added IO#cooked! which sets the terminal to cooked.
-
-
extended method:
-
-
io/wait
-
new features:
-
added IO#wait_writable method.
-
added IO#wait_readable method as alias of IO#wait.
-
-
-
json
-
updated to 1.7.7.
-
-
net/http
-
new features:
-
Proxies are now automatically detected from the http_proxy environment variable. See Net::HTTP.new for details.
-
gzip and deflate compression are now requested for all requests by default. See Net::HTTP for details.
-
SSL sessions are now reused across connections for a single instance. This speeds up connection by using a previously negotiated session.
-
Requests may be created from a URI which sets the request_uri and host header of the request (but does not change the host connected to).
-
Responses contain the URI requested which allows easier implementation of redirect following.
-
-
new methods:
-
extended method:
-
Net::HTTP#connect uses local_host and local_port if specified.
-
-
-
net/imap
-
objspace
-
new method:
-
-
openssl
-
Consistently raise an error when trying to encode nil values. All instances of OpenSSL::ASN1::Primitive now raise TypeError when calling to_der on an instance whose value is nil. All instances of OpenSSL::ASN1::Constructive raise NoMethodError in the same case. Constructing such values is still permitted.
-
TLS 1.1 & 1.2 support by setting OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#ssl_version to :TLSv1_2, :TLSv1_2_server, :TLSv1_2_client or :TLSv1_1, :TLSv1_1_server :TLSv1_1_client. The version being effectively used can be queried with OpenSSL::SSL#ssl_version. Furthermore, it is also possible to blacklist the new TLS versions with OpenSSL::SSL:OP_NO_TLSv1_1 and OpenSSL::SSL::OP_NO_TLSv1_2.
-
Added OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#renegotiation_cb. A user-defined callback may be set which gets called whenever a new handshake is negotiated. This also allows to programmatically decline (client) renegotiation attempts.
-
Support for “0/n” splitting of records as BEAST mitigation via OpenSSL::SSL::OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS.
-
The default options for OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext have changed to OpenSSL::SSL::OP_ALL & ~OpenSSL::SSL::OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS instead of OpenSSL::SSL::OP_ALL only. This enables the countermeasure for the BEAST attack by default.
-
OpenSSL requires passwords for decrypting PEM-encoded files to be at least four characters long. This led to awkward situations where an export with a password with fewer than four characters was possible, but accessing the file afterwards failed. OpenSSL::PKey::RSA, OpenSSL::PKey::DSA and OpenSSL::PKey::EC therefore now enforce the same check when exporting a private key to PEM with a password - it has to be at least four characters long.
-
SSL/TLS support for the Next Protocol Negotiation extension. Supported with OpenSSL 1.0.1 and higher.
-
OpenSSL::OPENSSL_FIPS allows client applications to detect whether OpenSSL is FIPS-enabled. OpenSSL.fips_mode= allows turning on and off FIPS mode manually in order to adapt to situations where FIPS mode would be an explicit requirement.
-
Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) is supported via Cipher#auth_data= and Cipher#auth_tag/Cipher#auth_tag=. Currently (OpenSSL 1.0.1c), only GCM mode is supported.

rake
-
rake has been updated to version 0.9.5.
This version is backwards-compatible with previous rake versions and contains many bug fixes.
See rake.rubyforge.org/doc/release_notes/rake-0_9_5_rdoc.html for a list of changes in rake 0.9.3, 0.9.4 and 0.9.5.

-
RDoc has been updated to version 4.0
This version is largely backwards-compatible with previous rdoc versions. The most notable change is an update to the ri data format (ri data must be regenerated for gems shared across rdoc versions). Further API changes are internal and won't affect most users.
Notable changes include:
-
Page support for ri. Try `ri ruby:` for a list of pages in ruby or `ri ruby:syntax/literals` for the syntax documentation for literals.
This also works for gems such as `ri rspec:README` for the rspec gem's README file.
-
Markdown support. See ri RDoc::Markdown for details.
See github.com/rdoc/rdoc/blob/master/History.rdoc for a full list of changes in rdoc 4.0.

RubyGems
-
Updated to 2.0.0
RubyGems 2.0.0 features the following improvements:
-
Improved support for default gems shipping with ruby 2.0.0+
-
A gem can have arbitrary metadata through Gem::Specification#metadata
-
`gem search` now defaults to –remote and is anchored like gem list.
-
Added –document to replace –rdoc and –ri. Use –no-document to disable documentation, –document=rdoc to only generate rdoc.
-
Only ri-format documentation is generated by default.
-
`gem server` uses RDoc::Servlet from RDoc 4.0 to generate HTML documentation.

-
Stdlib compatibility issues (excluding feature bug fixes)¶ ↑
-
OpenStruct new methods can conflict with custom attributes named “each_pair”, “eql?”, “hash” or “to_h”.
-
Dir.mktmpdir in lib/tmpdir.rb
See above.
C API updates¶ ↑

| SUMMARY: INNER | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
A Connection
object is a client's active connection to its JMS
provider. It typically allocates provider resources outside the Java virtual
machine (JVM).
Connections support concurrent use.
A connection serves several purposes:
ConnectionMetaData
object.
ExceptionListener
object.
Because the creation of a connection involves setting up authentication and communication, a connection is a relatively heavyweight object. Most clients will do all their messaging with a single connection. Other more advanced applications may use several connections. The JMS API does not architect a reason for using multiple connections; however, there may be operational reasons for doing so.
A JMS client typically creates a connection, one or more sessions, and a number of message producers and consumers. When a connection is created, it is in stopped mode. That means that no messages are being delivered.
It is typical to leave the connection in stopped mode until setup
is complete (that is, until all message consumers have been
created). At that point, the client calls
the connection's start
method, and messages begin arriving at
the connection's consumers. This setup
convention minimizes any client confusion that may result from
asynchronous message delivery while the client is still in the process
of setting itself up.
A connection can be started immediately, and the setup can be done afterwards. Clients that do this must be prepared to handle asynchronous message delivery while they are still in the process of setting up.
A message producer can send messages while a connection is stopped.

| Method Detail |
public Session createSession(boolean transacted, int acknowledgeMode) throws JMSException
Session
object.transacted
- indicates whether the session is transactedacknowledgeMode
- indicates whether the consumer or the
client will acknowledge any messages it receives; ignored if the session
is transacted. Legal values are Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE
,
Session.CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE
, and
Session.DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE
.JMSException
- if the Connection
object fails
to create a session due to some internal error or
lack of support for the specific transaction
and acknowledgement mode.Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE
,
Session.CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE
,
Session.DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE
public java.lang.String getClientID() throws JMSException
This value is specific to the JMS provider. It is either preconfigured
by an administrator in a ConnectionFactory
object
or assigned dynamically by the application by calling the
setClientID
method.
JMSException
- if the JMS provider fails to return
the client ID for this connection due
to some internal error.public void setClientID(java.lang.String clientID) throws JMSException
The preferred way to assign a JMS client's client identifier is for
it to be configured in a client-specific ConnectionFactory
object and transparently assigned to the Connection
object
it creates.
Alternatively, a client can set a connection's client identifier
using a provider-specific value. The facility to set a connection's
client identifier explicitly is not a mechanism for overriding the
identifier that has been administratively configured. It is provided
for the case where no administratively specified identifier exists.
If one does exist, an attempt to change it by setting it must throw an
IllegalStateException
. If a client sets the client identifier
explicitly, it must do so immediately after it creates the connection
and before any other
action on the connection is taken. After this point, setting the
client identifier is a programming error that should throw an
IllegalStateException
.
The purpose of the client identifier is to associate a connection and its objects with a state maintained on behalf of the client by a provider. The only such state identified by the JMS API is that required to support durable subscriptions.
If another connection with the same clientID
is already running when
this method is called, the JMS provider should detect the duplicate ID and throw
an InvalidClientIDException
.
clientID

set the client ID for this connection due
to some internal error.InvalidClientIDException

invalid or duplicate client ID.IllegalStateException

a connection's client ID at the wrong time or
when it has been administratively configured.public ConnectionMetaData getMetaData() throws JMSException

connection.setExceptionListener(javax.jms.ExceptionListener)
public void setExceptionListener(ExceptionListener listener) throws JMSException
If a JMS provider detects a serious problem with a connection, it
informs the connection's ExceptionListener
, if one has been
registered. It does this by calling the listener's
onException
method, passing it a JMSException
object describing the problem.
An exception listener allows a client to be notified of a problem asynchronously. Some connections only consume messages, so they would have no other way to learn their connection has failed.
A connection serializes execution of its
ExceptionListener
.
A JMS provider should attempt to resolve connection problems itself before it notifies the client of them.
listener

set the exception listener for this connection.public void start() throws JMSException
start

started is ignored.JMSException
- if the JMS provider fails to start
message delivery due to some internal error.stop()
public void stop() throws JMSException
start
method. When the connection is stopped,
delivery to all the connection's message consumers is inhibited:
synchronous receives block, and messages are not delivered to message
listeners.
This call blocks until receives and/or message listeners in progress have completed.
Stopping a connection has no effect on its ability to send messages.
A call to stop
on a connection that has already been
stopped is ignored.
A call to stop
must not return until delivery of messages
has paused. This means that a client can rely on the fact that none of
its message listeners will be called and that all threads of control
waiting for receive
calls to return will not return with a
message until the
connection is restarted. The receive timers for a stopped connection
continue to advance, so receives may time out while the connection is
stopped.
If message listeners are running when stop
is invoked,
the stop
call must
wait until all of them have returned before it may return. While these
message listeners are completing, they must have the full services of the
connection available to them.
JMSException
- if the JMS provider fails to stop
message delivery due to some internal error.start()
public void close() throws JMSException
Since a provider typically allocates significant resources outside the JVM on behalf of a connection, clients should close these resources when they are not needed. Relying on garbage collection to eventually reclaim these resources may not be timely enough.
There is no need to close the sessions, producers, and consumers of a closed connection.
Closing a connection causes all temporary destinations to be deleted.
When this method is invoked, it should not return until message
processing has been shut down in an orderly fashion. This means that all
message
listeners that may have been running have returned, and that all pending
receives have returned. A close terminates all pending message receives
on the connection's sessions' consumers. The receives may return with a
message or with null, depending on whether there was a message available
at the time of the close. If one or more of the connection's sessions'
message listeners is processing a message at the time when connection
close
is invoked, all the facilities of the connection and
its sessions must remain available to those listeners until they return
control to the JMS provider.
Closing a connection causes any of its sessions' transactions
in progress to be rolled back. In the case where a session's
work is coordinated by an external transaction manager, a session's
commit
and rollback
methods are
not used and the result of a closed session's work is determined
later by the transaction manager.
Closing a connection does NOT force an
acknowledgment of client-acknowledged sessions.
Invoking the acknowledge
method of a received message
from a closed connection's session must throw an
IllegalStateException
. Closing a closed connection must
NOT throw an exception.
JMSException
- if the JMS provider fails to close the
connection due to some internal error. For
example, a failure to release resources
or to close a socket connection can cause
this exception to be thrown.public ConnectionConsumer createConnectionConsumer(Destination destination, java.lang.String messageSelector, ServerSessionPool sessionPool, int maxMessages) throws JMSException

When Local Password Resets Aren't Local
When You Reset a Domain Administrator Instead of Local
During an IR engagement, one of my colleagues identified malicious activity where an adversary reset the password for a local administrator account. While this reset would gain the adversary access to the local administrator account, it might not have warranted an emergency. That is, until we noticed that the password reset occurred on a domain controller.
Are There Local Accounts on Domain Controllers?
Well, that gets complicated. Security pros and IT generalists are usually aware of SAM account databases on Windows systems. These databases contain the credentials needed for user logons when no domain connections are present. In the absence of Active Directory, such as in workgroup or home network scenarios, the Windows systems will use the SAM account database to authenticate users. In some cases, users may also choose to logon with a local account in enterprise environments, authenticating from the SAM database instead of the domain controller.
Most Windows systems follow this same pattern, unless they are promoted to Active Directory domain controllers. Once this happens, the promoted DC will stop using the local SAM database for its own everyday authentication, instead it uses the Active Directory database stored in NTDS.dit. In addition, the “local” groups for the DC will be defined by the AD Built-In groups. If the DC is the first of a domain, the contents of the SAM account database are migrated into the new domain’s NTDS.dit database. If the DC is an addition to an existing domain, it will receive a replica of the NTDS.dit database to authenticate from.
During the promotion of a domain controller you may also notice that the process requires you to set a Directory Services Restore Mode password. Once you have promoted the domain controller this account will be the only one stored within the local SAM database and it will not be available for use unless you boot into DSRM mode on the DC for recovery.
Does This Really Matter?
It absolutely matters when investigating password resets and assigning permissions within an Active Directory domain.
Consider these commands:
net user Administrator Password123
If this command executes on a non-domain controller system, it will reset the local Administrator account’s password (in the SAM database) to Password123
. On a domain controller, it will reset the domain’s Administrator account in NTDS.dit instead. This implies that whoever resets this password will have Administrator access for the entire Active Directory domain and all systems therein rather than just a single system.
This also implies that any malware that achieves use of the SYSTEM account on a domain controller will be able to escalate to domain privileges as the SYSTEM account will be able to reset user account passwords on the DC.
net user Joffrey
If this command executes on a non-DC system, it will add a local user by the name of Joffrey
to the SAM database. On a DC, it will add a domain user by the same name to NTDS.dit. This is important because performing this action on a DC may circumvent your account creation processes unintentionally.
net localgroup Administrators /add WESTEROS\Jorah.Mormont
If this command executes on a non-DC system it will add Jorah’s account to the local Administrators group, entitling him to manage a single computer system. If the command executes on a DC system, Jorah’s account will be added to the Built-In Administrators group in Active Directory. This would entitle Jorah to make changes to Active Directory’s NTDS.dit database, Group Policy Objects, AD Sites, and also allow administrative access on all computers across the domain. This can get very bad very quickly.
Taking Action
Be vigilent when performing operations on accounts from a domain controller’s command line. Remember that your “local” changes likely aren’t local if they occur on a DC.

PROMESSE, LA (director/writer: Jean-Pierre Dardenne/Luc Dardenne; screenwriter: Luc Dardenne; cinematographer: Alain Marcoen; cast: Jérémie Renier (Igor), Olivier Gourmet (Roger), Assita Ouedraogo (Assita), Rasmane Ouedraogo (Amidou), 1996-Belgium/France)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
This is a grim morality tale that can't help putting you in someone else's shoes, wondering what you would do if you were in the same situation. It is also a "coming-of-age" film, testing a youngster' mettle to rise above his dire circumstances. It is seen through the troubled eyes of a slender 15-year-old blond, living in Liege, Belgium, named Igor (Renier). He has lost his childlike innocence, already being a petty crook and a breaker of the law, but is still sexually innocent. He is living with and helping out his single-parent father by doing the dirty work his father is counting on him to do that keeps his unsavory business going. His father, who insists Igor call him by his Christian name, Roger (Gourmet), has a construction business where he employs illegal immigrants, and exploits and traffics in them. They come from all over the world but mostly from Bosnia and Africa. His love for his son is so twisted and wrongly placed, even if it is some form of love that he offers, that it still results in his son being raised by a monster: keeping him out of school, at a distance from his regular teen friends, allowing him to smoke cigarettes freely, even tattooing him with the same tattoo he has; and, the worst thing he does, is corrupt him with a false set of values, while having the audacity to tell him that he is doing all these illicit things for his sake.
On the day that the government inspectors appear at the work site, the illegals are told to hide from the inspectors. One of the illegals, Amidou (Rasmane), from Burkina Faso, falls from a scaffold and needs to be rushed to the hospital. Igor drags him out of the inspector's sight, but not before Amidou makes him promise that if he dies he will look after his wife and baby. When Roger finishes showing the inspectors around and discovers Amidou is severely injured, he refuses to take him to the hospital afraid that he doesn't know what to tell the hospital has happened without arousing their suspicions. Instead, he does the most savage thing he could possibly do, he gets Igor, who is becoming very squeamish at this point, to help him bury Amidou in concrete, even if he is aware that Amidou is still barely alive.
How cruel can people be to others! ... As for Roger there was no question about it, his generosity did not include those outside of his small circle; and, immigrants and especially black ones were barely even human to him. But something has happened to the kid. He has developed a sense of guilt, knowing full-well he has done something wrong, and he also knows that he is trapped, he has to make a decision one way or the other, either be with his father or help the widow. Whichever way he goes, there will be a price to pay for him, he will not be able to satisfy both parties.  But the other choice he understands is the right one, and he wrestles with his conscience as he tries to help the widow without hurting his father.
LA PROMESSE has the harsh reality to it that a documentary might have, and considering that the sibling film directors are acclaimed documentary directors for over two decades, it is easy to see that even though this story is fictionalized it, neverthess, is filmed in the manner of the very real experiences that the filmmakers have noted going on in modern Europe. The illegals, on the bottom end of the totem pole, with no legal right granted them to be where they are, are at the mercy of such heartless and bigoted people as these who swoon down upon them as vultures.
The three main characters of the story are cast perfectly. Igor indicates by his facial expressions that he wants to be a kid again but can't, as he learns how to face up to the different situations that keep popping up in his life. When we first meet him he is seen as a slick liar and petty thief, swiping a woman's wallet, and then we see him as he gradually changes and develops an empathy for the widow of the immigrant, maybe, even thinking of her as the mother he doesn't have but certainly needs. He watches with a warm scrutiny as she fiercely tries to protect her child from all the outside evils.
The film could have been done from the father's point of view instead of the son's; and, even more interestingly, from Assita's (the widow) way of seeing things, and the film would have still had a tremendous impact. She has a regality about her that is peerless, even when she is searching for the truth about her husband's disappearance, not satisfied with the stories Roger and Igor are telling her. When she is left stranded under a trestle and two Belgians piss on her, as they are perched above her, we see in her anger and frustration, that she is lost in a country of white people she does not understand. But there is an unmistakable presence she has, that clearly shows the nobility of her character, especially when contrasted with all those around her whose minds are so blemished.
Roger is one of the slimiest guys you could ever meet, someone who tries to pretend he is good but it so obviously not, that it is written all over him what he really is. But the character he has is fitting for the person he is. There is room for us to see in him what makes him act the way he does, that he is not that far removed from the consciousness' of the ordinary man in the street, except for his utter lack of decorum and any sort of social conscience. From his point of view, we could see that he is only looking out for number one, thinking, that if he doesn't, who else will. An argument you will frequently hear from the man in the street, as he tries to rationalize his vices.
To further contrast the differing white and black cultures, we see how the Western medical profession treatment of her differs from the one she intuitively trusts, as she goes to a witch doctor. Igor's guilt-ridden help, results in Assita being taken to a hospital to find out why her baby is so sick. But they can't see anything wrong. So she consults an African spiritualist. He determines that she can save the baby by going to see relatives in Italy, that there is nothing that she can accomplish here, the baby is telling her to leave.
When the young Igor can't live with his father's cruel dishonesty anymore, one of the more powerful confrontational scenes imaginable takes place between a father and son, as the son removes the mental shackles he has worn all his life and places real chains on his father. He walks out on him, choosing to help Assita get out of the country, rather than remain with his father. In a strange way, without him or her being conscious of it, she became his surrogate mother.
This powerful tale is unflinchingly honest and moving. It casts a dark shadow over a civilized country's technological prowess in the world, and questions its humanity and moral perspectives. It does so in a most tangible way, in a way that should be a disturbing reminder of how complex the problem of immigration is, in a film that is piercingly on target as a challenge for the European countrys to keep their "promise" to the immigrants and to see how corrupt their system is and how it doesn't really stop these powerless people from being exploited.

CHILDREN OF THE CORN A film review by Andrew Hicks Copyright 1996 Andrew Hicks / Fatboy Productions
(1984) * (out of four)
Corn is the operative word here, in one of the many truly awful movie versions of Stephen King literature. This time, a thirty page story is turned into a full-blown movie that fits right in with the very worst slasher flicks of the 80's. Peter Horton and Linda Hamilton (I can only assume she did this movie right before THE TERMINATOR) play a married couple innocently driving through Nebraska when they hit a kid who stumbles onto the road.
But this isn't just your average, ordinary, everyday roadkill accident. "Look at his throat. It's been slit. He was dead before we hit him." (So he was dead when he walked onto the road? Talk about your dead kid walking.) They take the kid to the nearest town, a charming but empty place called Gatling. Peter and Linda wander around the town and into an abandoned house ("There's something not quite right about this place.") before doing the logical thing -- logical only in a horror movie, that is -- splitting up. That way, when Linda hears a noise downstairs, she can walk slowly dowt a dozen times in the slasher tradition, "Bert, is that you? ...Bert? ...Ernie? ...Big Bird?"
At least in the King story, the mystery of the town wasn't given away in the opening scene. There was at least a little suspense in the written version, but in the CHILDREN OF THE CORN movie, we know all along just what Peter and Linda are getting into.
This movie, like many others in the 80's, carries a strong religious bias, with the crazy kids all named after Bible characters (Malachi, Amos, Job, etc.) and Linda's fate eventually being to hang on a crucifix made of corn husks.  According to Peter, "any religion not based on love and compassion is false!"
Interestingly enough, this speech comes after the corn monster (He Who Walks Behind the Rows) swallows a couple kids up. Even though it's obvious there is some supernatural basis for the kids' behavior, the screenwriter still decided to have the adult hero chew the kids out for their behavior. In reality, it's everyone involved with this movie and the two sequels that should be chewed out -- at the least. If it were up to me, I'd hang them all up on corn husk crucifixes.

The first time you come across You can negotiate everything by Herb Cohen it can appears one of those books full of techniques to manipulate people and persuade them to do what you want. But if you move beyond this first impression you can find a useful book written by someone who certainly was effective in the pragmatic art of getting someone to agree with you, but was also persuaded that the best way to do this was to build a good relationship based on trust with the other side in every negotiation.
This is a belief I profoundly share with the author and I am making also a project out of this (www.smoothjob.info if you are interested in the project). It was thus a pleasure for me to find this wiew in a book written from a so greatly experienced deal-maker.

Let's move on to the actual summary of the book which I hope will help you appreaciate the valuable content included in it.
What is negotiation?
Negotiation is a field of knowledge and endeavor that focuses on gaining the favor of people from whome we want things. Three elements are always there in every negotiation:
- Information
- Time (pressure, deadline)
- Power
Every negotiation is a satisfaction of needs:
- if you let the other side understand that your need are not fully satisfied, you will let him understand also that his own will not be. For instance expressing criticism on a product you are negotiating is a clear sign that your are not willing to pay the full price the other side is asking for.
- if you make someone invest time in the negotiation, his cost-opportunity in case of leaving will rise
- he will be thus more willing to comply with your requests
- leverage the power of weakness
- learn to ask questions more than talking
- looking silly dismiss a lot of other side weapons
About the three elements of a negotitation
Power
Power is a way of getting from one place to another.
- It is neither good nor bad by itself: it is neutral
- it is needed to believe you are able to obtain/create/realize something rather than suffer everything
- believing you have power will give you the necessary self confidence. This will project the rigth image of self confidence and make others more willing to comply.
Sources of power
-
power of competition
- if you create competition around something you possess, what you have moves up in value (ideas, products, yourself, everything)
- you can create competition if you have alternative options ( more buyers for your product, more companies willing to hire you…). Never enter a negotiation without options!
- try to convey a sense of not needing what you are negotiating. This reminds me of this scene from Gone with the wind, I don't know why
-
power of legitimacy
- we tend to comply with the “official” printed stuff. We tend not to question them.
- signs
- books
- this power can be used when it is advantageous and can be challenged when it is not
- to challenge you have to be able to show that what is written is general and generic, and it was not mentioned to cover the specific case you are talking about.
- “that is generic, is not my case”
- “where is my name on that book?”
- to challenge you have to be able to show that what is written is general and generic, and it was not mentioned to cover the specific case you are talking about.
- we tend to comply with the “official” printed stuff. We tend not to question them.
-
power of risk taking
-
you must be willing to take risks while negotiating and this asks for
- courage
- common sense if you have no options you can't take risk, you must accept whatever it comes. So don't enter a negotiation without options! Hve we already said that?
-
risk-taking is intelligent if you know the odds
- genererically used to express the probability of positive outcome, but strictly speaking
$$\frac{number \quad of \quad positive \quad outcomes}{number \quad of \quad negative \quad outcomes}$$
-
risk taking is intelligent if you are able to absorb the possible loss. This reminds me of the risk management concept of risk appetite meaning the quantity of risk a company is willing to take when performing its operations.
-
-
power of commitment
- if people on your side are committed toward your same goal, you have more power. How do you obtain that?
- “people support what they help create”
- involvment begets commitment, commitment begets power
- if people on your side are committed toward your same goal, you have more power. How do you obtain that?
-
power of expertise (we could also call it power of authority, as done by Robert Cialdini in his great book Influence, The psychology of persuasion)
- if you are or looks as an expert, people will comply with you more easily
- if you are facing an expert don't be, and don't look, overimpressed. You could even try to look dumb, since no power has an expert when dealing with a dumb.
-
power of the knowledge of “needs”
- This comes in two levels
- the specific issue on demands, stated openly ( “I want you to buy my product”)
- to real need, rarely verbalized ( “I want you to buy my product on cash, since I need liquidity right now”)
- if you can establish a reasonable guess about what someone's needs are yuou can predict, with reasonable certainty, what will happen in any interaction
- it is worthwhile to study in advance your other side in negotiation
- This comes in two levels
-
power of investment
- make people invest in the negotiation, especially with beginning collaborative approach ( which could also become competitive later on).
- if you have something difficult to negotiate, like the privacy, keep it for the end, when the investment will have become big
-
power of rewarding of punishing
- no one will ever negotiate with you in any significant way unless they are convinced that you can
- help them
- hurt them
- never defuse the perception of being able to help or hurt unles you get something in return
- don't become a paper tiger: don't eliminate options or reduce pressure unless you receive something in return
- no one will ever negotiate with you in any significant way unless they are convinced that you can
-
power of identification
- people comply with you are similar to them(we could also call it power of liking, as done by Robert Cialdini in his Influence, The psychology of persuasion)
-
power of morality
- if you have common moral values, leverage them within your negotiation
-
power of precedent
- current and past policies and practices are considered sacred, theyu are presented as the only way to do things.
- leverage this in your favour
- challenges this when you need highlighting differences between this case and precedent
- current and past policies and practices are considered sacred, theyu are presented as the only way to do things.
-
power of persistence, which can be simply be described as follows

-
power of persuasive capacity
- we don't get persuaded by logic, we rationalise with logic
- to persuade someone to believe/ buy or do something, you have to:
- put your reasons into analogies that reasonate with my experience
- your evidence must be so overhelming that I can't dispute
- my believing you must meet my existing needs and desires
- you should therefore show the immediate relevance and value of what you are saying in terms of meeting their needs and desires
-
power of caring , but not caring too much, which once again reminds me of
Time
In any negotiation expect most significant concessions to occur close to the deadline
- it is crucial to understand the deadline of the other side
- the other side, cool and seren as they may appear always have a deadline
- deadline, also your own, are often more flexible than they appear
- be patient, it may be the that best thing to do when you do not know what to do is to do nothing
- do not reveal your deadline to not provide the other side a competitive advantage
- very often as you approach the deadline a shift of power will occur, presenting a creative solution or ever a turnaround by the other side.
Information
Before the negotiation event
You should strart to collect information before the start of the actual negotiation
- sources
- anyone who works with or for the other side
- adversary's competitors
- official sources
relevant information we want to discover: the real limits and constraint of the other side
- budget
- deadline
- priorities
- needs
- costs
Also to obtain acceptance of your proposals you have to provide information. When you first express a proposal you get a no. You should not take this as a position, it is better understood as a reaction. People need time to understand new proposals and accomodate to them. You have to be patient, reiterate your submission and provide each time additional information.
During the negotiation event
When you arrive at the negotiation event, you should practive effective listening techniques. You should also become able to read cues in their context.
- unintentional cues
- verbal cues
- behavioural cues
Styles of negotiation
The soviet style (Win-Lose)
When someone attempts to achieve his objective at the expense of a perceived adversary. This style usually shows off within six separated steps:
- extreme initial positions: tough demand or ridiculous offers to influence the other side expectations
- limited authority: the real negotiation sends to the events delegated negotiators with no power to make concessions
- emotional tactics: people feel uneasy when confronted by irrationality and this can give an advantage to those able to exploit this behaviour
- tears (this guy is perfectly right, have you ever seen my wife crying?)
- silence
- create doubts about the reasons
- produces further unrequested confessions
- walking out
- raises additional issues for the other side which is left alone
- create uncertainty about the future
- veiled threat
- guilt
- adversary concessions viewed as weaknesses
- negotiation/compromise is not seen as a way to move forward
- they are not going to reciprocate concessions
- stingy concessions (which follows from the previous)
- ignoring deadlines: acting as deadlines were not there to increase preassure on the other side.
This style is applicable if
- the relationsihp is not continuing ( you can not have continous relationship with someone you have killed…)
- you are able to not feel remorse afterward
- the victim is not aware of you using the technique
How to react to soviets. Possible alternatives:
- walking away
- beat him at his own game with counter moves
- switch to a win-win relationship
Negotiation for mutual satisfaction (Win-Win)
-
In a collaborative win-win neogitation we are trying to produce an outcome that provides acceptable gain to all parties
-
How can get together in a way that will make the total pie bigger, so there's more to go around?. This is the difference between mentality of abudance and mentality of scarcity. The abundance is focused on the size of the pie while the scarcity is focused on the size of the slice.
-
Negotiation is seen here as a process, a way of acting, that can develop understanding, belief, acceptance and trust.
-
is not just an exchange of material objects.
-
using the process to meet needs
- start coming like velvet, stating your case moderately
- address the other side with tact
- people tend to behave the way you expect them to behave
- try to see the problem from their point of view or frame of reference, listening with empathy
- harmonizing or recongiling needs: it is important to understand that a collaborative negotiation is impossibile while the two sides see each other as adversaries.
- “one's feelings, attitudes, and real needs are concealed to avoid them being used against them”
-
conflict is part of the process and part of life
- all players and all supporters want the team to scoer but theyare in disagreement regarding how to obtain this
- it is valuable to figure out why and how the disagreement developed
- this is relevant also because the first step in gaining the cooperation from the other side is to recognize where both of you are positioned on the issue generating congflict and which are the differences.
- the main sources of difference are:
- experience: you and I don't see things as they are, we see things as we are. To understand how you think I must get into your world
- information: people have been exposed to different data and have adquired different facts along the way.
- If we are working from a different information base, we will end up poles apart.
- to solve the conflict we have to share the information, but also feelings and needs, to have a common ground.
- roles: divergent views are also a result of the part you have been given to play in the negotiation drama.
- some of this emotional content must be drained
- we should train to ask ourself questions as “if I were in their place, may be I would have asked a similar question as well…”
Successful collaborative negotiation lies in finding out what the other side really wants and showing them a way to get it, while you get what you want
More on the Win-Win technique
Crucial elements for reaching mutual satisfaction are
- building trust: in a continouing relationship the more trust you place in others, the more they will justify your faith. The activity can be divided into two time frames
- the process stage
- before the formal event is easier to build a good relationship, because your behaviour is taken at face value
- is the right time to analyze and diagnose the causes of the potential disagreement and therefore take action in the area of experience, information and role before the event.
- the formal event
- start with a positivie approach, focusing on the problem you are both trying to solve and the kind of optimal solution you are both willing to obtain
- don't focus on your way to solve the issue, which is problably different from the one of the other side
- try to become one unite group of problem solvers rather than two opposite factions
- the process stage
- gaining committment from the other side's network/organization
- network/organization: family, boss, colleagues
- the network/organization heavily influences the other side's behaviour and decisions
- get the support of the network and you will influence the position and movement of the other side
- dealing with opposition
- opposition is natural and even useful to sharp mind, increase skill
- from a fair opposition you gain insight into yourself that will growth and development
- the crucial point is not if you will have opposition but which kind of opponent you will have
- idea opponent, this is a positive opponent, which is challenging only a specific idea. Using collaborative techniques seen above it should be easy to come up with a win-win solution able to overcome the opposition. This does not mean to persuade the opponent that he was wrong. This means find together a better solution than the first one he was opposing
- visceral opponent, emotional adversary. This is the most dangerous one. He does not disagree with a single idea, he disagree with you as a whole or/and your organization. You should avoid to have such kind of opponents. How to avoid having visceral opponents?
- avoid attacking “face”, publicly undermining is reputation. This is a common cause of an idea opponent becoming a visceral opponent.
-
train yourself to speak honestly to idea opponents without offending face sense
-
never forget the power of your attitude
-
retrain yourself from retaliation
“Nothing gives a person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.” Thomas Jefferson
-
-
never judge the action and motives of others
- we can't look into hearts and minds so we can't know what imples or propels them.
- don't judge, don't make final verdicts
- substitute this with a hones and positive statement of your point of view and feelings KO: A negotiator turns to an opponent across the table and remarks, “Your analysis of these data and the way you are figuring the costs are all wrong” OK: “I must look at data differently than you. I feel that…”
-
- avoid attacking “face”, publicly undermining is reputation. This is a common cause of an idea opponent becoming a visceral opponent.
- moving up: especially when dealing with large organization is effective to understand when to move up another level in the hierarchy
- the higher you go, the more likely you are to have your needs met,
- because people who are higher up understand that general rules were never ment to cover every specific situation, because there is an exception to every rule
- you have to be prepared to demonstrate that the framers of a given rule never intended to cover your unique facts ( see also power of legitimacy about this)
- in any case try not to negotiate with a person who lacks sufficient authority.
- because people who are higher up understand that general rules were never ment to cover every specific situation, because there is an exception to every rule
- the higher you go, the more likely you are to have your needs met,
A final note: compromise is not a win-win solution:
- nobody is really satisfied
- nobody fully support the solution
Has it worked? My final evaluation
The book is useful if you want to understand the main drivers of negotiation. As always for this kind of books I strongly suggest you to try practicing the principles described while you are reading and right after you have concluded to read the book. This will really allow you to understand how effective it can be in your life. I have done this by myself applying those principles to two negotiations occurring during the period I was reading (related to my job and to home utilities), and I was amazed from the results obtained and the accuracy of the predictions made by Cohen on people's reaction to some given behaviour.
If I would be required to suggest possible improvement I would suggest to review the structure of the book so to make it more clear and more fluent, also because some of the principles are introduced more than once ( like for instance the power of legitimacy). That said, I think that for this kind of books what is relevant is the juice rather than the appearance of the fruit, and the juice i really tasting :) .

THE RING (1999)
Reviewed by Jack Choo
Running Time : 1hr 30mins (approx) Rating: **** out of *****
GRACEFULLY SHOCKING !
THE RING is probably one of the creepiest movies I've seen in years. But then again, I've always had this phobia of Asian born horror films.  THE RING really brings back those memories and its grips me long after the movie has ended. Unlike the horror films coming from the west, I'm pretty much used to the gore and visual effects, so much so, they become rather bland nowadays. There's really no scary movie from the west for a long time. If you have something in mind, please tell me.
This Japanese flick is supposed to be based upon stories written by `The Stephen King of Japan', which is also (I heard) televised over the air in Japan. The film revolves around a mysterious videotape which will bring death for sure to the person who watches it, one week prior to viewing.  She and her husband then goes on a search for the origin of the videocassette, to get to the root of the whole curse with the hopes of freeing themselves.
THE RING plays on the senses like no other horror film today. Visual subtlety, minimal music and an intriguing plot puts the audience within an aura of suspense throughout the entire film. Very well done indeed, especially for a film that does not have a single trace of violence and gore. Now, thats something budding horror film-maker wannabes should consider looking into. Just an idea of how visually powerful the film is, it is in Japanese and subtitled in Chinese; both of which, I can't understand at all (OK, I had a friend who gave me a gist prior to watching, but he revealed very little!). The twists in the plot, leading to an unforgettable climax (will definitely leave an impression on the audience) will have you at the edge of your seat.
Gracefully shocking!

We provide a toolbox to estimate the time delay between the brightness time series of gravitationally lensed quasar images via Bayesian and profile likelihood approaches. The model is based on a state-space representation for irregularly observed time series data generated from a latent continuous-time Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Our Bayesian method adopts scientifically motivated hyper-prior distributions and a Metropolis-Hastings within Gibbs sampler, producing posterior samples of the model parameters that include the time delay. A profile likelihood of the time delay is a simple approximation to the marginal posterior distribution of the time delay. Both Bayesian and profile likelihood approaches complement each other, producing almost identical results; the Bayesian way is more principled but the profile likelihood is easier to implement.
