INSIDE A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): **
Famous director Arthur Penn (BONNIE AND CLYDE) turns his attention to apartheid in the claustrophobic new film INSIDE. Set in 1988 toward the end of the apartheid era, the film is an earnest and well intentioned story of the horrors of imprisonment during South Africa's racist regime.
Pedantic and preachy, Penn's film tries to be an almost unwatchably horrific picture and succeeds. It has a single point, which is the brutality common during that period. Penn has given us a highly repetitious movie, which in the first ten minutes chillingly illustrates South Africa's violent inhumanity and then forces the viewer to endure similar scenes again and again.
Hard to watch shows can be effective, the best recent example being PARADISE LOST: THE CHILD MURDERS AT ROBIN HOOD HILLS. Although PARADISE LOST almost made me feel ill, it was enlightening and never manipulative. INSIDE is an in-your-face movie that flaunts the atrocities. Hopefully, most viewers by now realize the despicable acts of the South African government. For those who do not the first ten minutes of the film will provide an education. The rest of the picture relies on shock value and misses a golden opportunity to teach us more.
A fictional, but quite believable screenplay by Bima Stag, centers around the imprisonment of University professor Marty Strydom, played with frightening realism by Eric Stoltz. His chief interrogator in the Kafkaesque drama is a Colonel Kruger, played by Nigel Hawthorne in a performance reminiscent of Ralph Fiennes's work as the smiling Nazi in SCHINDLER'S LIST. The Colonel explains to the professor that, "We are phasing out apartheid, but these things take time."
Professor Strydom is arrested under the Security Act which permits people suspected of a broad group of crimes, including terrorism, to be jailed without charge for up to six months. It appears that the professor may have hidden guns and bombs for a friend of his involved in terrorist activities, but Strydom refuses to talk. He is beaten senseless on a daily basis to encourage him to confess his crimes.
Although the guards are played by South Africans with heavy accents, Stoltz's accent is jarringly bad. Perhaps they should have rewritten his part so that he was an American professor teaching in South Africa.
Much of the problems in the show stem from the script's obsession with the prison cell as the venue from which to tell the story and from Jan Weincke's camera angles. Long sequences are shot from the outside of the cell with the door's two inch peephole filled with a prisoner's mouth. These talking lips cover the entire movie screen for minutes at a time. Other shots are taken from the ceiling level shooting down onto Strydom curled up in a fetal position in the corner of his tiny cell.
Although the performances are excellent and easy to empathize with, they suffer through the repetition. Periodically, the narrative starts to take off in flashforwards to the present and the Colonel's own interrogation by an ex-prisoner and now a government official played by Louis Gossett Jr. These scenes hold real potential to provide a counterpoint and meaning to the film, but Penn is obsessed with making sure that the audience spends most of its time in prison. The film's title was not chosen casually.
The script uses language to outrage the viewers. "Apartheid was not about race," the Colonel tells his accuser. "It was about culture. The Stone Age can't coexist with the Twentieth Century."
It also uses some gruesome images to arouse the audience's anger.  The man's blood and pieces of his flesh come flying in.
The otherwise completely plausible story concludes with an emotionally effective, but unrealistic scene. Overall, the film is efficaciously terrifying, but little more. There are many other and better films that cover the same ground as INSIDE. I left knowing little more than when I entered the screening. A lost opportunity.
In the press kit, Stoltz talks about the freedom that Arthur Penn gave the actors in INSIDE. Stoltz says proudly, "He hardly gives you any direction." Therein, perhaps, lies the problem.
INSIDE runs 1:34, but it feels twice that long.  It is appropriate for teenagers only if they are quite mature and not susceptible to nightmares. I admired all of the acting and I think the message of the film is important, but the show itself is almost unwatchable. I give it a marginal thumbs down and **.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

Margaret Atwood: Greta Thunberg Is the 'Joan of Arc of the Environment'
Margaret Atwood has declared Greta Thunberg the ‘Joan of Arc of the environment.’
by James DelingpoleThe Canadian novelist, best known for her dystopian feminist fable The Handmaid’s Tale, was speaking on the podcast of the environmental extremist action group Extinction Rebellion.
Atwood said:
“She’s wonderful and she’s impervious to people slagging her off.”
and
“She’s sort of the Joan of Arc of the environment. I think she needs a big white horse.”
Like Thunberg, Joan of Arc was a visionary teenager who appeared to have supernatural powers. Thunberg – at least according to her mother – can see carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, even though it’s invisible. Joan of Arc, aka the Maid of Orleans, also had visions – of figures she claimed were Saint Michael, Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret, who told her to drive the English out of France during the Hundred Years War.
Joan of Arc was illiterate.
Thunberg isn’t illiterate – but she is a 16-year-old school drop out, which almost counts.
Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake for heresy by the English.
Thunberg is currently stuck in Los Angeles, trying to work out how she can cross the Atlantic to reach the next United Nations climate conference in Madrid, Spain without the use of an aircraft.


Peter Purves ‘shocked’ and ‘hurt’ by Crufts axe
The presenter said he was told Channel 4 is ‘refreshing’ its line-up.
Veteran television presenter Peter Purves has said he is “shocked” and “hurt” after being dropped as a commentator from Channel 4’s coverage of the Crufts dog show.
The former Blue Peter host and Doctor Who star said he was told the broadcaster is “refreshing” its line-up.
The 80-year-old told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “I got a phone call saying ‘There is no easy way to say this but actually you’re surplus to requirements, we don’t need you’.
“I was stunned actually, there hadn’t been a hint about it, not a hint last year at the show. This would be my 42nd year at the show. I just feel it’s part of my life, so I was very shocked, I was very hurt.”
Purves has served as a presenter and commentator for the dog show for 41 years.
He said he has instead been invited to be a paid guest contributor, adding: “The point was I’m not part of the commentary team and the executive producer has invited me to be a guest contributor on two of the programmes on the Saturday and Sunday.
“I’m going to be at the show because I’m gong to be presenting the award so it’s no skin off their nose so they can do something very nice for me.
“I feel it was just a bit of a sop and it was perhaps to soften the blow and it didn’t.”
He added: “It’s been part of our lives. It’s a four-day job but at my age there isn’t a lot of television work for people my age.
“I did ask for the reasons to be in writing. I got them. There wasn’t a reason, it was just ‘We are always refreshing the show, sorry, one in, one out.”
Asked if he thought “refreshing” was code for ageism, he said: “I believe the diktat from Channel 4 was we want a younger presentation team. I know that was said.”
A spokesman for the production company that makes Crufts, Sunset+ Vine, told the PA news agency: “Peter has been a much loved part of the Crufts team and we’re delighted he will continue to be part of our coverage and join us on-screen at the weekend of Crufts, the culmination and most watched part of the four-day event.”

Goals
This week, we introduce the most important and widely used model of computation, the Turing machine, and start to address the big question of what can and cannot be computed by any machine with a finite description.
The main goals for Week 8 are to:
- Understand what cannot be computed by a finite automaton and why.
- Use and understand Turing Machines as a model of computing.
- Study a definition of computability.
- Explore the powers and limitations of Turing Machines.
- Understand why some numbers are uncomputable, and what this means.
- Learn different variations on Turing Machines and how they can be transformed.

Cohort Problems
These are the problems you should discuss in your Cohort Meeting, and everyone in your cohort should be prepared to present and discuss solutions to at the Assessed Cohort Meeting:
Cohort Problems for Week 8 [PDF]
The problems are posted here and we think its a good idea to look at them early, but you’re not expected to be able to solve them until after doing the readings and watching the videos below.
After the Assessed Cohort Meeting, your Cohort Leader will select one problem that your cohort needs to write-up and submit. The write-up is due by 11:59pm on the day after your assessed cohort meeting (see the schedule above).
Reading
This week we discuss the material contained in Chapter 7: Loops and Infinity.
Turing Machines and other similar models of computing are taught in many different ways in many different places. In addition to the course materials, you’ll find plenty of other presentations of this material available on youtube, other textbooks, lecture slides from other universities, blog posts, etc. Please be advised that there are many subtly different presentations of Turing machines, and so what you see elsewhere may differ from what we covered, but the key ideas are universal and should be the same in any good presentation. Typically minor changes are made to the model either for convenience of the context, or so real-world running times are more similar to the running time of the model (more on this in future weeks).
Videos

There are moments in research where you suddenly have an euphoric rush once you truly understand the beauty of something. First such moment happened to me when I got the beauty of SU(2) spinor group. Couple of days ago, I had the same cathartic moment when I finally got the brilliance of BdG Hamiltonians. This post is just to clarify to my future self if I get stuck understanding this again. In this first post, let me outline the basic super conductive nature with a simple 2 site system.
So, Lets try to understand a rudimentary superconductor that is made up of 2 sites ($a,b$) with no hopping between them. The Hameltonian can be written as
\[\mathcal{H}=E_ac^\dagger_ac_a+E_bc^\dagger_bc_b+\Delta c^\dagger_a c^\dagger_b +\Delta^* c_b c_a \label{eq:1}\]First part with $E_a$ and $E_b$ terms are the cost for the electron to stay in each site whole $\Delta$ is the superconducting pairing term that pairs the electron creating or destroying them in both sites. This term forces us to forgo our faithful single particle basis to represent the Hamiltonian, as one can clearly see that $\mathcal{H}$ involves two particle term. So, as would a many body theorist do, lets solve it in the two particle basis.
\[\mathcal{H}=\begin{bmatrix} E_a & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & E_b & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & E_a+E_b &\Delta \\ 0& 0 &\Delta^* &0 \end{bmatrix}\label{eq:2}\]The basis order chosen is ($\vert a,0 \rangle,\vert a,b \rangle,\vert a,b \rangle,\vert 0,0 \rangle$). Because of the block diagonal nature of H, it is clear to see that two of the Eigen values are $E_a,E_b$. It would be easy to solve $H$ analytically as its just 4x4 matrix.
We start by defining the matrix in python given by
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def H_bdg(e1=0,e2=1,d=1,eig=True):
H=np.array([
[e1,0,0,0],
[0,e2,0,0],
[0,0,e1+e2,d],
[0,0,np.conj(d),0]
])
if eig:
eig1,eval=np.linalg.eig(H)
return eig1,eval
else:
return H
eig,eval=H_bdg()
for i,j in zip(eval,eig):
print("eig: ",np.round(j,3),"\t E vec: ",np.round(i,3))
fig,ax=plt.subplots(figsize=(2,4))
for i in eig:plt.axhline(i,c="k",lw=4)
plt.ylabel("Energy")
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
For the test, we choose $E_a=0,E_b=1,\Delta=1$. Now plotting the eigen value, we get
We see that we have two eigen values at 0 and 1 as we choose $E_{a,b}$ to be that and then there are other eigen value that belong to the two particle subspace. Well this is where things get interesting. Its exactly this fact that we are going to exploit to understand the system - that we can split the Hamiltonian into blocks of single and two particle. A block diagonal form means, we have a symmetry in our system, and that symmetry is nothing but Parity. This is the symmetry that our eigen vectors can now be labeled by a number which specifies if it belongs to the single particle block or the two particle block. To this end, let us construct the parity operator.
\[\hat{P}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 1& 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & -1 &0 \\ 0& 0 &0 &-1 \end{bmatrix}\label{eq:3}\]It is easy to see that $PP^\dagger=0$ this operator when acted on our basis, spits either 1 or -1 based on if the eigen value is in single particle or multi particle subspace. Now let us color our eigen value based on this operators expectation value.
P=np.array([
[1,0,0,0],
[0,1,0,0],
[0,0,-1,0],
[0,0,0,-1]
])
c=[np.round(eval[n]@P@eval[n].conj()) for n in range(4)]
fig,ax=plt.subplots(figsize=(2.5,4))
for j in range(4):plt.axhline(eig[j],c="r" if c[j] ==1 else "b",lw=4)
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
red_patch = mpatches.Patch(color='red', label='$\hat{P}=1$')
blue_patch = mpatches.Patch(color='blue', label='$\hat{P}=-1$')
plt.legend(handles=[red_patch, blue_patch],loc="center left",bbox_to_anchor=(1,0.5))
plt.ylabel("Energy")
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("Manybody_eigen_colered.png",dpi=400)
plt.show()
This gives us the following plot
As you can see, the lowest energy ground state of the system is made up of two particle ground state while the first excited state is made up of single particle state. Parity here says if we have any unpaired electron in our system or if all the electrons are paired. Now we can study this system as a function of a parameter,
Here, we plot the eigen values projected on the parity subspace as a function of $E_b$ for $E_a=1,\Delta=1$. Here is the beauty, the ground state of this system after around $E_b>-1$ switches in parity and thus starts having one unpaired electron that has a finite energy gap to be paired. This thus gives amazing physical result as superconductivity.
We will look at how this entire discussion can be mapped in BdG formalism in the next post …

For today, we will tackle the problem of computing the $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ norm of a linear system. $ \newcommand{\abs}[1]{| #1 |} \newcommand{\ind}{\mathbf{1}} \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\lVert #1 \rVert} \newcommand{\ip}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle} \newcommand{\R}{\mathbb{R}} \newcommand{\C}{\mathbb{C}} \newcommand{\T}{\mathsf{T}} \newcommand{\Proj}{\mathcal{P}} \newcommand{\Tr}{\mathrm{Tr}} \newcommand{\A}{\mathcal{A}} \newcommand{\Hinf}{\mathcal{H}_{\infty}} $
$\Hinf$ norm for LTI systems
In general, the $\Hinf$ space and norm can be defined for matrix valued functions which are analytic on subsets of $\C$. See Hardy space for more details. We focus on the continuous LTI case, which can be thought of as defining a linear operator on $L^2 \longrightarrow L^2$.
Let $G = \left[ \begin{array}{c|c} A & B \\ \hline C & 0 \end{array} \right]$ denote a state space realization of an LTI. We abuse notation and let $G$ refer to both the operator and the transfer function $G(s)$. Assume that $A$ is stable (all its eigenvalues are in the open left-half plane). Recall that the transfer function is given as $$ G(s) = C(sI - A)^{-1}B \:. $$ What is $\norm{G}_{L^2 \rightarrow L^2}$? By a standard calculation involving Parseval's theorem, $$ \norm{G}_{L^2 \rightarrow L^2} = \sup_{\omega \in \R} \norm{ G(j\omega) } \:. $$ The notation $\norm{G(j \omega)}$ refers to the maximum singular value of the matrix $G(j \omega)$. The RHS quantity is important enough we denote it $\norm{G}_{\infty}$. Our goal for this post is to prove a very nice characterization of the norm $\norm{G}_{\infty}$.
Theorem: Consider the transfer function $G(s) = C (sI - A)^{-1} B$ and suppose that $A$ is stable. Let $\gamma > 0$. Then, $$ \begin{align} \norm{G}_{\infty} < \gamma \Longleftrightarrow \begin{bmatrix} A & \gamma^{-2} BB^\T \\ -C^\T C & - A^\T \end{bmatrix} \text{ has no imaginary axis eigenvalues} \label{eq:main_equiv} \:. \end{align} $$
Proof: This is a nice proof which is based off of Lemma 4.7 in Zhou, Doyle and Glover and Andy Packard's notes. It uses some key ideas from linear systems theory. We first note we can assume without loss of generality that $\gamma = 1$ by the change of variables $B \gets \gamma^{-1} B$.
Recall that for an arbitrary complex matrix $M$, $\norm{M} < 1$ iff $I - M^* M \succ 0$. Fix any $\omega \in \R$ and define $\Phi(s) = I - G(s)^* G(s)$. Using this fact, we have that $$ \norm{G(j\omega)} < 1 \Longleftrightarrow \Phi(j\omega) \succ 0 \:. $$ Hence, $$ \begin{align} \sup_{\omega \in \R} \norm{G(j\omega)} < 1 &\Longleftrightarrow \Phi(j \omega) \succ 0 \text{ for all } \omega \in \R \cup \{\pm \infty\} \nonumber \\ &\stackrel{(a)}{\Longleftrightarrow} \Phi(j \omega) \text{ is non-singular for all } \omega \in \R \nonumber \\ &\Longleftrightarrow \Phi^{-1}(s) \text{ has no imaginary axis poles } \label{eq:poles_condition} \:. \end{align} $$ The equivalence (a) requires some justification. First, we dropped the condition at $\omega = \pm \infty$ since $\Phi(j (\pm \infty)) = I \succ 0$ holds. The $\Longrightarrow$ direction is clear. For the $\Longleftarrow$ direction, suppose that $\Phi(j \omega)$ is non-singular for all $\omega$, but there exists an $\omega'$ such that $\Phi(j\omega') \not\succ 0$. There are two cases: (a) either $\lambda_{\min}(G(j \omega')) = 0$ or (b) $\lambda_{\min}(G(j \omega')) < 0$. For case (a), that means $G(j \omega')$ is singular, violating the hypothesis. On the other hand, for case (b), since $\lambda_{\min}(\Phi(j(\pm \infty))) = 1$, by continuity of the map $\omega \mapsto \lambda_{\min}(\Phi(j \omega))$, there must exist a $\omega''$ such that $\lambda_{\min}(G(j \omega'')) = 0$, which also violates the hypothesis. Hence, we have reduced our problem to checking the poles of the inverse map $\Phi^{-1}(s)$.
To continue, we now define the LTI system $H$ with state space realization $$ H = \left[ \begin{array}{cc|c} A & 0 & B \\ C^\T C & - A^\T & 0 \\ \hline 0 & B^\T & I \end{array} \right] \:. $$ We can compute the transfer function $H(s)$ by using the formula for block matrix inverse, $$ \begin{bmatrix} sI - A & 0 \\ -C^\T C & sI + A^\T \end{bmatrix}^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} (sI - A)^{-1} & 0 \\ (s I + A^\T)^{-1} C^\T C (sI - A)^{-1} & (sI + A^\T)^{-1} \end{bmatrix} \:. $$ Hence, $$ \begin{align} H(s) &= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & B^\T \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} (sI - A)^{-1} & 0 \\ (s I + A^\T)^{-1} C^\T C (sI - A)^{-1} & (sI + A^\T)^{-1} \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} B \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} + I \nonumber \\ &= B^\T (sI + A^\T)^{-1} C^\T C (sI - A)^{-1} B + I \label{eq:h_transfer_function} \:. \end{align} $$ Next, we expand out $\Phi(j\omega)$, $$ \begin{align} \Phi(j \omega) &= I - G(j\omega)^* G(j\omega) \nonumber \\ &= I - B^{\T} (j\omega I - A)^{-*} C^{\T} C(j\omega I - A)^{-1} B \nonumber \\ &= I - B^{\T} (-j\omega I - A^{\T})^{-1} C^{\T} C(j\omega I - A)^{-1} B \nonumber \\ &= I + B^{\T} (j\omega I + A^{\T})^{-1} C^{\T} C(j\omega I - A)^{-1} B \label{eq:phi_equiv} \:. \end{align} $$ Equation $\eqref{eq:h_transfer_function}$ combined with $\eqref{eq:phi_equiv}$ shows that for any $\omega \in \R$, $$ H(j \omega) = \Phi(j \omega) \:. $$ We now use the following fact: if $G = \left[ \begin{array}{c|c} A & B \\ \hline C & I \end{array} \right]$ is a realization for an LTI system, then $$ G^{-1} = \left[ \begin{array}{c|c} A - BC & - B \\ \hline C & I \end{array} \right] $$ is a realization for the inverse system $G^{-1}$. We use this formula and write the realization for $H^{-1}$ as $$ H^{-1} = \left[ \begin{array}{cc|c} A & - BB^\T & -B \\ C^\T C & -A^\T & 0 \\ \hline 0 & B^\T & I \end{array} \right] \:. $$
We next check that $H^{-1}(s)$ does not have any pole-zero cancellations along the imaginary axis. This is equivalent to checking for an uncontrollable or unobservable mode for some $j \omega$. By the PBH test, suppose there is an $\omega \in \R$ and $(w_1, w_2) \neq 0$ such that $$ j \omega \begin{bmatrix} w_1^* & w_2^* \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} w_1^* & w_2^* \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} A & -BB^\T \\ C^\T C & -A^\T \end{bmatrix} \:, \:\: 0 = \begin{bmatrix} w_1^* & w_2^* \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} - B \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} \:. $$ Since $A$ is assumed to be stable, both $(j \omega I + A^\T)$ and $(j \omega I - A)$ are non-singular, and hence these equations imply $w_1 = w_2 = 0$, a contradiction. A nearly identical argument asserts there are no unobservable $j\omega$ modes. This means that $$ H^{-1}(s) \text{ has an imaginary axis pole} \Longleftrightarrow \begin{bmatrix} A & -BB^\T \\ C^\T C & -A^\T \end{bmatrix} \text{ has an imaginary axis eigenvalue} \:. $$ But by a similarity transform, $$ \begin{bmatrix} I & 0 \\ 0 & -I \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} A & -BB^\T \\ C^\T C & -A^\T \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} I & 0 \\ 0 & -I \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} A & BB^\T \\ -C^\T C & -A^\T \end{bmatrix} \:. $$ Therefore, the eigenvalues of $\begin{bmatrix} A & -BB^\T \\ C^\T C & -A^\T \end{bmatrix}$ co-incide with the eigenvalues of $\begin{bmatrix} A & BB^\T \\ -C^\T C & -A^\T \end{bmatrix}$. Hence, we have proven $$ H^{-1}(s) \text{ has an imaginary axis pole} \Longleftrightarrow \begin{bmatrix} A & BB^\T \\ -C^\T C & -A^\T \end{bmatrix} \text{ has an imaginary axis eigenvalue} \:. $$ Combining $\eqref{eq:poles_condition}$ with the fact that $H^{-1}(j\omega) = \Phi^{-1}(j\omega)$ yields the claimed result $\eqref{eq:main_equiv}$. This concludes the proof.

NY judge orders Trump to pay US$2m over charitable foundation
NEW YORK: A New York state judge on Thursday (Nov 7) ordered US President Donald Trump to pay US$2 million for misusing his namesake charitable foundation, resulting in funds being distributed to his 2016 presidential campaign.
Justice Saliann Scarpulla of the state Supreme Court in Manhattan said the payment should go to a group of non-profit organisations because the foundation, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, has been dissolved.
The White House was not immediately available for comment.
Trump's foundation had the subject of a June 2018 lawsuit by the New York attorney general at the time, Barbara Underwood, against Trump and his adult children Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka.
Underwood filed suit after a 21-month probe that she said had uncovered "extensive unlawful political coordination" between the foundation and the campaign. The foundation agreed last December to dissolve.
Letitia James, the current New York attorney general, called the US$2 million award and earlier settlement "a major victory in our efforts to protect charitable assets and hold accountable those who would abuse charities for personal gain."


As Head of the Social Policy Section of the Department I’d like to extend a ‘virtual’ welcome to the University of York via this message! I’m looking forward to meeting you in person when you arrive at the University in October, but I hope that the information we’ve gathered here on our Welcome site will help to make you feel at home in the Department before your course actually begins.
We’ve created this Welcome site to help ease you into studying at York. While some of you will be very familiar with the way the University of York works – having studied here or at a similar British university – I know that for some of you the University of York will not only be a new experience, so will the United Kingdom and the experience of studying in the English language. For those of you for whom like in a British university is a familiar experience, we hope that some of the information we provide here will prove useful in helping you orientate yourself before you start your degree. For those of you completely new to the UK, we hope that the information provided here will help answer some of the broad questions you are likely to have about what life in the UK and at the University of York will be like in practice.
Hopefully too, for all of you, the site will help make you feel at home in the Department before you arrive here. I look forward to personally welcoming you to the University when the academic year begins in October.
John Hudson, Head of Social Policy Section.

Treemap2 is a high performance information visualization program that visualizes your data using either treemaps or scatter plots on accelerated graphics cards using OpenGL.
You can get the program at the following location: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/millionvis/download/millionvis.zip
The sources are also available under the Gnu Public Licence (GPL) at the following location: millionvis-src.zip
The distribution can be unzipped anywhere. The program has to be started from the directory since it uses some of its files.
The treemap2 program is started from a command prompt in Windows or a shell prompt in Unix or Linux.
Starting it without arguments will show the current directory and subdirectories as a treemap.
If provided an argument, the treemap2 program will first try to load a file of that name as an XML file. If it cannot be found or is not an XML file, the program will try to load it as a directory.
By default, the program takes the entire screen. Starting it with the "-f" option will make it smaller and resizeeable.
To load an XML file called "dir.xml", just type:
treemap2 dir.xml
It can also be compressed with gzip or compress and be called
"dir.xml.gz" or "dir.xml.Z", the program will still read it
with:
treemap2 dir.xml.gz
Compressing an XML file using the gzip program will provide an important compression rate and a faster loading.
To load the root directory of disk C on Windows, just type:
treemap2 c:/
The command will read all the files in the C: disk and, after a amount of time depending on the number of files on the disk, il will show the entire disk on the screen as a treemap.
Once a treemap is displayed, navigating is done with the mouse and the shift key.
At startup time, the only displayed labels are names of the items at the first level of the displayed hierarchy.
For example, if you loaded the current directory and it contains three subdirectories: A, B and C, only these three labels will be visible, each at the center of their respective rectangles.
When loading from an XML file, only the "root" directory is visible so one label is displayed at the center of the screen.
When moving the mouse, the path under the pointer is displayed at the top of the screen.
When stoping to move for a second, the labels change. They display the names of the elements of the hierarchy. This is a dynamic labeling.
When moving slowly, this display remains and follows the pointer. When moving quickly, the dynamic labeling disappears and the first-level labels come back.
Clicking on a label dynamic label zooms its to full screen. When pressing the shift key, the dynamic labels and the path on top of the screen are frozen. Clicking on either of them will zoom in or out. As a conveninence, clicking on the top bar outside of the path will zoom back to the root.
To display menus, click with the right button. It will display a tabbed pane with two menus, one for configuring the visualization and the other one to perform dynamic queries.
The menus disappear when the mouse in not over them, leaving only an outline. Clicking right another time will remove it completely.
The menu items have the following meaning:
Choose among Squarified treemap, Strip treemap, slice and dice treemap or scatter plot.
Chose the attribute mapped to rectangle size
Chose the attribute mapped to rectangle color
Chose the range of colors used for visualization inside the total range of colors.
Choose whether colors are categorical or sequential. Two color schemes are provided for both.
Chose the attribute mapped to the Y position for scatter plots
Chose the attribute mapped to the X position for scatter plots
For scatter plots, chose the smaller and larger size of rectangles
For treemaps, choose the sorting order.
For scatter plots, chose a transparency level so that overlaped items will still remain visible
For scatter plots, change the sizes by blending the previously assiogned size with the currently assigned size
For scatter plots, change the border thicknesses for directories
For scatter plots, show all the labels at the first hierachy level, whether directories of files
Don't use it now
Just hit the "Esc" key.
treemap2 uses two files for its configuration: "file_types.txt" and ".properties". These two files can be modified for specific purposes.
The file "file_types.txt" contains the mapping between file extensions and their associated category, usually mapped with a color in treemap2. The standard file contains the following rules:
This mapping reads: file ending with .gz etc are of category 1, files ending with .arj are of category 2, etc. Actually, category 1 is a bit special since it means "compressed" and is removed from the file name to recompute the file type.
The default file is meant to map standard file types to 8 categories, roughly archives (2), binary (3), images (4), text (5), multimedia (6), 3D scenes (7), programming (8).
To visualize a more specific directory, this file can be changed. For instance, for visualizing the linux kernel source tree, the mapping is available there.
The file ".properies" contains the default settings for fonts and font sizes. These sizes are "resolution independent" so in a high resolution monitor, the size will be still readable (if the screen resolution is correctly declared to the sytstem). You can change it too.
Sometimes, the program hungs for a few seconds. This is due to the "garbage collector", i.e. the program reclaims memory that is not used any more.
Depending on the actual machine you are using, it may take from a few seconds to thirty seconds. Don't do anything. Let it finish.
This program is a research prototype and should be considers as such. Don't hesitate to report bugs, problems and other thoughts to Jean-Daniel Fekete at fekete@cs.umd.edu


IgePathComponent CLASS
Declared in IgePathComponent.js
Handles entity path traversal.
Methods
tileMap
Gets / sets the tile map that will be used when calculating paths.
Returns {*}
finder
Gets / sets the path finder class instance used to generate paths.
- {IgePathFinder}val The pathfinder class instance to use to generate paths.
Returns {*}
dynamic
Gets / sets the dynamic mode enabled flag. If dynamic mode is enabled then at the end of every path point (reaching a tile along the path) the path finder will evaluate the path by looking ahead and seeing if the path has changed (the tiles along the path have now been marked as cannot path on). If any tile along the path up to the look-ahead value has been blocked, the path will auto re-calculate to avoid the new block. For dynamic mode to work you need to supply a path-finder instance by calling .finder(), a tile checker method by calling .tileChecker() and the number of look-ahead steps by calling .lookAheadSteps(). See the doc for those methods for usage and required arguments.
dynamic({Boolean} enable)
- {Boolean}enable If set to true, enables dynamic mode.
Returns {*}
add
Adds a path array containing path points (IgePoint3d instances) to the path queue.
add({Array} path)
Returns {*}
current
Gets / sets the current path index that the pathing system is traversing.
current({Number} index)
Returns {*}
previousTargetPoint
Gets the path node point that the entity is travelling from.
previousTargetPoint()
Returns {IgePoint3d} A new point representing the travelled from node.
currentTargetPoint
Gets the path node point that the entity is travelling to.
currentTargetPoint()
Returns {IgePoint3d} A new point representing the travelling to node.
currentDirection
Gets the current direction.
currentDirection()
Returns {String} A string such as N, S, E, W, NW, NE, SW, SE. If there is currently no direction then the return value is a blank string.
Get the direction of movement along the current path
// Create an entity and add the path component
var entity = new IgeEntity()
.addComponent(IgePathComponent);
// Create a path and add it to the entity
// ...
// Now get the current direction
var direction = entity.path.currentDirection();
warnTime
Gets / sets the time towards the end of the path when the path component will emit a "almostComplete" event.
warnTime({Number} ms)
- {Number}ms The time in milliseconds to emit the event on before the end of the path.
Returns {*}
autoStop
Gets / sets the flag determining if the entity moving along the path will stop automatically at the end of the path.
autoStop({Boolean} val)
- {Boolean}val If true, will stop at the end of the path.
Returns {*}
drawPath
Gets / sets the flag determining if the path component should draw the current path of the entity to the canvas on each tick. Useful for debugging paths.
drawPath({Boolean} val)
- {Boolean}val If true, will draw the path.
Returns {*}
drawPathGlow
Gets / sets the flag that determines if the path that is drawn gets some added glow effects or not. Pure eye candy, completely pointless otherwise.
drawPathGlow({Boolean} val)
- {Boolean}val If true will add glow effects to the path.
Returns {*}
drawPathText
Gets / sets the flag that determines if the path that is drawn gets some added labels or not.

Alfa Romeo Kills Its Lightweight 4C Sports Car
Once the dealer supply runs out, that will be it for Alfa's nimble runabout.
by Christopher SmithTranslated by: Christopher Smith
Motor1.com's French edition confirmed with Alfa Romeo that the 4C has been canceled. Here's a translated version of the original story.
The Alfa Romeo 4C is now over. Indeed, the manufacturer has officially stopped production of its small sports car marketed since 2013 in Coupé form, and 2015 as a Spider version. The Coupe exited the U.S. market in 2018, but with all production now canceled, the only new 4Cs left to potential buyers are what's left in dealer inventories, and in the French market that means roughly 20 models. As a reminder, the Alfa Romeo 4C is powered by a four-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 240 horsepower. It is distinguished by its lightweight, mid-engine design that tips the scale at just 1,973 pounds (895 kilograms). We took the wheel a few months ago to enjoy, one last time, the unique sensations offered by the little Italian machine.
Farewell, 4C:
The end of small Alfa sports cars?
The discontinuation of the 4C is clearly in line with Alfa's new strategy, which recently announced the abandonment of its sports projects to address other issues with its lineup. Despite the Giulia and Stelvio, Alfa Romeo is going through a period of turmoil, especially in Europe where the brand is not present in key segments such as small SUVs and city cars. The Tonale, which will arrive by 2021, will certainly bring some order to all this, but Alfa Romeo is still absent from the city car market since the MiTo stopped in 2018. On the compact side, the aging but still attractive Giulietta will remain in the catalog through 2020, but a replacement isn't on the horizon. However, many things could soon change.
Gallery: Alfa Romeo 4C Competizione
The FCA - PSA merger as a savior?
Under the impetus of Carlos Tavares, the recent merger between Alfa's parent company FCA and PSA could bring new technologies to the Italian brand. The pairing between the companies seems to be on the right track, and this could change the situation for Alfa Romeo, particularly in Europe. In any case, at a time when rationality is now part of the strategy of all automakers, particularly to deal with legislators and ecological issues, it seems Alfa will have to take a 180-degree turn if it hopes to survive.

You can use our new Padrino Google Group or send us an email or write a message also directly to our team. Also, be sure to join our official IRC channel at #padrino on freenode for live help.
Log it onto github by creating a new issue. Be sure to include all relevant information, like the versions of Padrino and Ruby you are using. A gist of the code that caused the issue as well as any error messages are also very helpful.
Have a particular javascript engine you like? Know of a popular orm or testing framework that we have overlooked in Padrino generators? We encourage you to contribute by creating a patch to integrate your favorite components into Padrino! Check out the guide for adding new components to read a detailed walkthrough of how to do this!
The process for contributing to Padrino’s website or documentation is as simple as forking the docs repository and sending in any changes as a pull request. Once a change has been accepted, the documentation will be updated on our website. The website guides and docs are currently in the textile format as can be seen for the Getting Started guide on Github.
There is also important YARD documentation within the framework code itself which could always use improvements. An example is the asset tag helpers file which is marked up with YARD annotations for every object and method.
Be sure to read over the YARD Getting Started and Tag Overview guides for more details on this syntax. Every component of Padrino should be documented with YARD annotations which will be generated periodically to our official api documentation page.
You can also contact us for access to modifying the pages and guides within our site directly once you have had a patch accepted. Simply email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and request access.
Padrino core contributors also have several code guidelines and conventions that we try and keep consistent within our codebase. We try to follow the common Ruby code guidelines such as two space soft tab indentations, and we also like to keep a newline at the end of every ruby file.
Another convention to keep in mind is to minimize all trailing and unnecessary whitespace. If you are using TextMate, be sure to check out the uberglory which will automatically keep your code and spacing clean.
Bugs and feature requests that include patches are much more likely to get attention. Here are some guidelines that will help ensure your patch can be applied as quickly as possible:
NOTE: we will take whatever we can get. If you prefer to attach diffs in emails to the mailing list, that’s fine; but do know that someone will need to take the diff through the process described above and this can hold things up considerably.
If you’d like to help out but aren’t sure how, take a look at the GitHub Issues page. If you find something that looks interesting, leave a comment on the ticket noting that you’re investigating (a simple “Taking…” is fine). Once you’ve worked on a few issues, someone will add you as an assignee.

Wenger contradicts Bayern’s claim they turned him down
MUNICH, Nov 9 — Arsene Wenger has contradicted a claim by Bayern Munich that they turned him down for the vacant head coach’s job and accused the defending German champions of a lack of discretion.
Bayern need a new coach after Niko Kovac was sacked last Sunday with former Germany assistant Hansi Flick appointed interim boss for Wednesday’s win over Olympiakos and Saturday’s home league game against Dortmund.
On Thursday, Bayern put out a statement claiming Wenger had called club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge to express interest in replacing Kovac, but said the former Arsenal boss had been turned down.
However, Wenger, 70, rejected those version of events and criticised Bayern for leaking “rumours from everywhere”.
“My name came out of nowhere,” said Wenger in an interview with beIN Sports on Friday.
“On Wednesday, Rummenigge called me, I called back out of courtesy.
“We talked for four or five minutes, maximum, and he reported that they signed Flick (as interim coach) for the next two games.
“He asked me if I would be interested, because they are looking for a coach.”
Wenger says he told Rummenigge that he would think about it and “we decided together” to talk again “next week because I am in Doha until Sunday night. This is the true story.”
After a decade as Bayern’s president, Uli Hoeness will step down on Friday and Wenger said Bayern are at a “turning point” with Rummenigge also set to quit as chairman within the coming year.
Between them, Hoeness and Rummenigge have helped grow Bayern into one of the most successful clubs in Europe.
“It seems that the future is uncertain” at Bayern, said Wenger who added that the German club had always been “very discreet and direct” in the past, “but today (they are) very exposed with rumours coming from everywhere”.
Wenger wished Bayern “good luck” in finding a replacement for Kovac.
Other candidates for the vacancy, Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel and Ajax’s Erik ten Hag, already made it clear last week that they will not join Bayern before at least the end of the season. — Reuters
