THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY A film review by Christopher Null Copyright 1996 Christopher Null
Jesus, I didn't realize when I went to the movies this morning I was going to have to *think*!
But seriously, that's what you're going to be doing if you see THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY -- Jane Campion's follow-up to THE PIANO, based on Henry James's "classic" novel that you've probably never read. Now, I'm wishing that I had, though, because PORTRAIT is a fantastic movie to watch, exquisitely crafted and painstakingly detailed, gorgeously photographed and full of style -- but it is just plain impossible to follow.
I mean *impossible* to follow -- I'm guessing that's why I get copies of the production notes and why you get to read reviews like this: to explain the plot. So here goes: Isabel (Nicole Kidman) is a woman in 1872 Europe who eschews the traditional life of the time (i.e. marry a rich guy) and has the world's first afro (check out the publicity stills). She's a rare free spirit in an age of repression. Turning down suitors played by Viggo Mortensen, Richard E. Grant, and AMATEUR's Martin Donovan, Isabel turns out to be pretty gullible, too, and gets suckered into marrying the manipulative Osmond (John Malkovich), thanks to the duplicity of Osmond's evil friend Madame Merle (a nearly unrecognizable Barbara Hershey). (Yes, it does sound very DANGEROUS LIAISONS-ish.) Isabel soon finds her life pretty miserable, and then 124 years later they make a movie about it. That's *way* simplified.
You're probably saying that PORTRAIT is probably not the best movie material out there, and I agree, but if anyone was going to have the ability to pull this off, it was Campion, and I've got to give her credit for trying. Unfortunately, unlike THE PIANO, PORTRAIT is incredibly hard to get at, a dense and mostly inaccessible try at making something into art.
There's so much good about the film, though, that it's hard not to recommend -- the performances are top-notch, especially Donovan as Isabel's cousin, who really deserves notice for this production. Kidman is really coming into her own as a true talent, as well, and the remaining cast are all great. Again, beautiful art direction, cinematography, direction by Campion, and interesting editing all work to the film's advantage. The only problem I had: what's with the black & white inserts, slow-motion, askew angles, and singing beans(!?) that show up now and then? We do *not* need another ERASERHEAD.
Oh well... you should still see it, if for no other reason than it will give you plenty of conversation material for a *long* time. And you'll get some interesting hairstyling ideas.
[Be sure to listen for the best inside-joke line: "I would have given my little finger..."]

This post has been percolating in my brain for a long time. I mean like, long. Ever since I read a snippet from last year’s Chef Summit discussing best practices regarding attributes, I’ve wanted to write something. But what I’ve got to say keeps changing.
This post assumes some basic familiarity with Chef and node attributes. I assume that most people are going to be bored with the subject matter unless you care about nerdy details or why strings are the official preferred notation. You can get the short version on the Chef Wiki Cookbook Attributes page. I have a longer discussion here that focuses on my discovery process and evolution of thought.
A Quick Attribute Notation Overview
When I first started working with Chef, the publicly available cookbooks and wiki documentation were written in different styles.
- Some used symbols: node[:some][:symbol]
- some used strings: node[‘some’][‘string’]
- some used method_missing: node.dot.notation
I usually refer to this last as “dot notation,” mostly because I had no idea what else to call it at first. I still call it that as it’s an intuitive reference for someone who doesn’t know much Ruby. I read up on method_missing in prep for this blog post, but it was a new term and concept to me.
O dot notation, how do I love thee?
Getting back to it, I lurved my dot notation. It was easy to type. It was easy to read. It was harder to make typos. I am the queen of typos. Anything that helps me make fewer is my favorite friend. Then Chef Summit happened and recaps happened and I was like:
At first I was outraged that they were oppressing my dot notation and I was terrified they would deprecate it, which would make me sad. For a long time after that, I was just mad and still loved my dot notation and resolved to just keep using it anyway. This was the first time I had the urge to blog about it.  I loved my dot notation and I didn’t want it taken away.
I mean, yeah, dot notation didn’t always work and I probably never understood why. I was like this when I first learned chef:

Lenovo ThinkBook 14 and 15 with 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake processors launched in India for SMBs
by Aamir SiddiquiLenovo’s presence in the smartphone world may not be as great in current times, despite the acquisition of Motorola. However, the situation is quite different when it comes to computing devices beyond smartphones, at least in India. In the country, Lenovo claims to hold the first position in the overall PC market with a 37.7% market share, and a 62.6% share in the commercial notebook market as of H1 2019. The company is now aiming to further extend this lead with the launch of the new Lenovo ThinkBook 14 and Lenovo ThinkBook 15 laptops in India, targeting Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) who are looking to provide the same to a young workforce.
Lenovo’s SMB Notebook portfolio in India starts off with the V Series 14″ and 15.6″ laptops. In the premium segment, the ThinkPad lineup handles duties at different screen sizes and variations. The ThinkBook lineup slots in between the V series and ThinkPad, augmenting the already existing ThinkBook s series with new entrants in the form of the ThinkBook 14 and 15.
Lenovo is primarily targeting SMBs with today’s launches, with the idea that the new laptops will serve as worthy tools for the younger workforce, instead of the older and bulkier options from yesteryears. These laptops have a clean, sharp yet understated design language, making them ideal for use within office environments, while still retaining portability for use on the move. Both the laptops can be purchased by end-consumers as well, but the focus is clearly at SMBs and B2B sales, so there is a wide range of configuration options available which the businesses can customize according to their specific needs.
Lenovo ThinkBook 14
The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 comes with anodized aluminum top and bottom covers (also referred to as A and D covers), while the C cover (where the keyboard rests) features a brushed metal finish on the shell. The display is a 14″ FHD panel with an 80% screen-to-body ratio, and options of IPS or TN panels depending on the model chosen. The laptop also features a 180° lay-flat hinge that allows the laptop to be opened flat, though keep in mind that the display is not a touchscreen and not intended for use as a 2-in-1.
On the inside, the ThinkBook 14 comes with Intel’s 10th Generation Comet Lake processors, with variants featuring Core i3-10110U, Core i5-10210U, Core i7-10510U or Core i7-10710U chips. Depending on the configuration chosen, you can get a notebook with Integrated Intel UHD graphics, or with AMD Radeon 625 discrete graphics with 2GB DDR5 VRAM. For memory, you can max out the laptop with up to 24GB DDR4 2667MHz RAM, and the company spokespersons mention that one RAM slot is left free inside the laptop for easier upgradability and future-proofing. The notebook can also support a hybrid storage configuration of 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD coupled with 2TB 5400rpm HDD, though you can also opt for a lower SSD storage variant and upgrade it yourself in the future.
The ThinkBook 14 also comes with a 720p HD camera, with a physical switch that can cover the camera when not needed. Audio duties are handled by stereo speakers on the bottom of the laptop, which are Skype for Business certified. In addition to the I/O ports mentioned in the specification table below, the laptop also features a “hidden” USB 2.0 Type-A port, which is perfect for using a Bluetooth adapter and keeping the port safe from damage during a move.
Other configuration options include a choice between 45Wh and 57Wh battery, a choice between a rectangle-tip 65W AC adapter or a 65W Type-C adapter. The power button on the laptop can also be optionally upgraded with a fingerprint reader, while the keyboard can optionally gain a backlight. Bluetooth 5 is standard on the laptop, but for WiFi, you can choose from WiFi 5 1x1AC, WiFi 5 2x2AC or WiFi 6 2x2AX. For the OS, you can choose to go for Windows all the way up to Windows 10 Pro, or opt for a DOS laptop.
Lenovo ThinkBook 15
The Lenovo ThinkBook 15 shares several design characteristics with the ThinkBook 14. But since it has a larger footprint, there is more room, and hence, you also get a bigger keyboard with a dedicated Number Pad.
The 15’6″ FHD display gives the laptop an 83% screen-to-body ratio. Only the top A cover is aluminum on this size, which helps in managing the weight of the laptop.
Other changes involve a maxed out variant with AMD Radeon 620 discrete graphics with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM, and a standard inclusion of a Kensington MiniSaver Lock Slot.
Lenovo claims that the laptop is easy to open, as you can do so by removing the visible screws underneath the laptop. You do not need to remove the rubber stands on the device as there are no hidden screws, so that is always a plus as it makes repairs easier to undertake.
Pricing and Availability
The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 and ThinkBook 15 will be available in India starting 1st week of December 2019 at a starting price of ₹30,990 ($432). While Lenovo did not mention a fixed price for the maxed out variant in their press release, a spokesperson commented that a maxed configuration on this series can set you back in the vicinity of ₹80,000 ($1,115). For context for our international audience, India’s taxation policy often distorts the pricing of similar products in India as against markets like the US, with an 18% import duty on laptops and computers. So personal computing devices are generally expensive in India for similar hardware.
While the primary target is SMBs, in which case they should reach out to Lenovo for a specific quote, consumers who are interested in this lineup will also be able to purchase the laptops from Amazon.in and Lenovo.com.

1.8. Cross decomposition¶
The cross decomposition module contains supervised estimators for dimensionality reduction and regression, belonging to the “Partial Least Squares” family.
Cross decomposition algorithms find the fundamental relations between two
matrices (X and Y). They are latent variable approaches to modeling the
covariance structures in these two spaces. They will try to find the
multidimensional direction in the X space that explains the maximum
multidimensional variance direction in the Y space. In other words, PLS
projects both X
and Y
into a lower-dimensional subspace such that the
covariance between transformed(X)
and transformed(Y)
is maximal.
PLS draws similarities with Principal Component Regression (PCR), where
the samples are first projected into a lower-dimensional subspace, and the
targets y
are predicted using transformed(X)
. One issue with PCR is that
the dimensionality reduction is unsupervized, and may lose some important
variables: PCR would keep the features with the most variance, but it’s
possible that features with a small variances are relevant from predicting
the target. In a way, PLS allows for the same kind of dimensionality
reduction, but by taking into account the targets y
. An illustration of
this fact is given in the following example:
* Principal Component Regression vs Partial Least Squares Regression.
Apart from CCA, the PLS estimators are particularly suited when the matrix of predictors has more variables than observations, and when there is multicollinearity among the features. By contrast, standard linear regression would fail in these cases unless it is regularized.
Classes included in this module are PLSRegression
,
PLSCanonical
, CCA
and PLSSVD
1.8.1. PLSCanonical¶
We here describe the algorithm used in PLSCanonical
. The other
estimators use variants of this algorithm, and are detailed below.
We recommend section 1 for more details and comparisons between these
algorithms. In 1, PLSCanonical
corresponds to “PLSW2A”.
Given two centered matrices \(X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}\) and
\(Y \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times t}\), and a number of components \(K\),
PLSCanonical
proceeds as follows:
Set \(X_1\) to \(X\) and \(Y_1\) to \(Y\). Then, for each \(k \in [1, K]\):
a) compute \(u_k \in \mathbb{R}^d\) and \(v_k \in \mathbb{R}^t\), the first left and right singular vectors of the cross-covariance matrix \(C = X_k^T Y_k\). \(u_k\) and \(v_k\) are called the weights. By definition, \(u_k\) and \(v_k\) are chosen so that they maximize the covariance between the projected \(X_k\) and the projected target, that is \(\text{Cov}(X_k u_k, Y_k v_k)\).
b) Project \(X_k\) and \(Y_k\) on the singular vectors to obtain scores: \(\xi_k = X_k u_k\) and \(\omega_k = Y_k v_k\)
c) Regress \(X_k\) on \(\xi_k\), i.e. find a vector \(\gamma_k \in \mathbb{R}^d\) such that the rank-1 matrix \(\xi_k \gamma_k^T\) is as close as possible to \(X_k\). Do the same on \(Y_k\) with \(\omega_k\) to obtain \(\delta_k\). The vectors \(\gamma_k\) and \(\delta_k\) are called the loadings.
d) deflate \(X_k\) and \(Y_k\), i.e. subtract the rank-1 approximations: \(X_{k+1} = X_k - \xi_k \gamma_k^T\), and \(Y_{k + 1} = Y_k - \omega_k \delta_k^T\).
At the end, we have approximated \(X\) as a sum of rank-1 matrices: \(X = \Xi \Gamma^T\) where \(\Xi \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times K}\) contains the scores in its columns, and \(\Gamma^T \in \mathbb{R}^{K \times d}\) contains the loadings in its rows. Similarly for \(Y\), we have \(Y = \Omega \Delta^T\).
Note that the scores matrices \(\Xi\) and \(\Omega\) correspond to the projections of the training data \(X\) and \(Y\), respectively.
Step a) may be performed in two ways: either by computing the whole SVD of
\(C\) and only retain the singular vectors with the biggest singular
values, or by directly computing the singular vectors using the power method (cf section 11.3 in 1),
which corresponds to the 'nipals'
option of the algorithm
parameter.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Transforming data¶
To transform \(X\) into \(\bar{X}\), we need to find a projection
matrix \(P\) such that \(\bar{X} = XP\). We know that for the
training data, \(\Xi = XP\), and \(X = \Xi \Gamma^T\). Setting
\(P = U(\Gamma^T U)^{-1}\) where \(U\) is the matrix with the
\(u_k\) in the columns, we have \(XP = X U(\Gamma^T U)^{-1} = \Xi
(\Gamma^T U) (\Gamma^T U)^{-1} = \Xi\) as desired. The rotation matrix
\(P\) can be accessed from the x_rotations_
attribute.
Similarly, \(Y\) can be transformed using the rotation matrix
\(V(\Delta^T V)^{-1}\), accessed via the y_rotations_
attribute.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Predicting the targets Y¶
To predict the targets of some data \(X\), we are looking for a coefficient matrix \(\beta \in R^{d \times t}\) such that \(Y = X\beta\).
The idea is to try to predict the transformed targets \(\Omega\) as a function of the transformed samples \(\Xi\), by computing \(\alpha \in \mathbb{R}\) such that \(\Omega = \alpha \Xi\).
Then, we have \(Y = \Omega \Delta^T = \alpha \Xi \Delta^T\), and since \(\Xi\) is the transformed training data we have that \(Y = X \alpha P \Delta^T\), and as a result the coefficient matrix \(\beta = \alpha P \Delta^T\).
\(\beta\) can be accessed through the coef_
attribute.
1.8.2. PLSSVD¶
PLSSVD
is a simplified version of PLSCanonical
described earlier: instead of iteratively deflating the matrices \(X_k\)
and \(Y_k\), PLSSVD
computes the SVD of \(C = X^TY\)
only once, and stores the n_components
singular vectors corresponding to
the biggest singular values in the matrices U
and V
, corresponding to the
x_weights_
and y_weights_
attributes. Here, the transformed data is
simply transformed(X) = XU
and transformed(Y) = YV
.
If n_components == 1
, PLSSVD
and PLSCanonical
are
strictly equivalent.
1.8.3. PLSRegression¶
The PLSRegression
estimator is similar to
PLSCanonical
with algorithm='nipals'
, with 2 significant
differences:
at step a) in the power method to compute \(u_k\) and \(v_k\), \(v_k\) is never normalized.
at step c), the targets \(Y_k\) are approximated using the projection of \(X_k\) (i.e. \(\xi_k\)) instead of the projection of \(Y_k\) (i.e. \(\omega_k\)). In other words, the loadings computation is different. As a result, the deflation in step d) will also be affected.
These two modifications affect the output of predict
and transform
,
which are not the same as for PLSCanonical
. Also, while the number
of components is limited by min(n_samples, n_features, n_targets)
in
PLSCanonical
, here the limit is the rank of \(X^TX\), i.e.
min(n_samples, n_features)
.
PLSRegression
is also known as PLS1 (single targets) and PLS2
(multiple targets). Much like Lasso
,
PLSRegression
is a form of regularized linear regression where the
number of components controls the strength of the regularization.
1.8.4. Canonical Correlation Analysis¶
Canonical Correlation Analysis was developed prior and independently to PLS.
But it turns out that CCA
is a special case of PLS, and corresponds
to PLS in “Mode B” in the literature.
CCA
differs from PLSCanonical
in the way the weights
\(u_k\) and \(v_k\) are computed in the power method of step a).
Details can be found in section 10 of 1.
Since CCA
involves the inversion of \(X_k^TX_k\) and
\(Y_k^TY_k\), this estimator can be unstable if the number of features or
targets is greater than the number of samples.

Why is OCR so hard?
Advances in HTML now allow pixel level access to images, allowing image processing to be done in the browser.
The browser allows for a standard, license free environment that anyone can use an access on a variety of devices.
HTML5 DemoQuestion: Can we use whitespace segmentation again?
Answer: Sometimes...
For each character we wish to identify, we draw it to the screen and create two histograms. We use the same segmentation to narrow the whitespace around the character as much as possible before taking the histogram.


What is Crypt Predict?
Crypt Predict is a project completed as part of my final year in college, it is a Web Application that aims to allow for generating of price predictions with minimum effort on the user' side.
What Algorithm is used for generating predictions?
Crypt Predict uses a combination of a Bayesian Linear Regression as well as Time Series Analysis to a certain extent. The inspiration for the algorithm largely came from this paper published by MIT.
What Data is Used?
Data regarding Current Price, Ask Volume, Bid Volume was collected every 20 seconds through the API provided by OKCoin. In total over 3 months worth of data was collected, coming to over 113,000 individual entries.

I’m here today, reading lots of dev articles of my co-dev. Then questions comes in, when I start to start this path? I smile, get up on my bed, and here I am writing my first dev post.
I remember that days, during college. During the first two years of studies as IT I don’t focus in programming, I don’t understand C++ and hate Visual Basic. I don’t understand MS Access and how it works and I always sleepy during database subject. I feel bored when the command line interface appear during class and my instructor start to write into it. I don’t have any energy to participate because I dont know what to do or to say.
Chapter 2 Then third year, another database subject with new instructor Mr.Galang, another command lines interface and MySQL queries coming. SELECT, WHERE, UPDATE and DELETE four of the best thing I understand in that time. He also show us how to use HTML, CSS nad a video tutorial of creating shopping cart, I enjoy that part, so I start studying.
We also start to study PHP and start connecting MySQL database into it. I feel amazed when every data from that CMD (black screen) appear in a browser.
So project always present and presentation required, I remember the time when we group for a project, our group consist of four, 2 girls and 2 boys. Our project is to create an application using PHP, MySQL and most of the time beautiful design by concept and interface.
I suggest to create a web base music player named I Got Rhythm that time is 2014 I’m not familiar with Spotify. I decided the name, the concept and how it works, the simple UI, but the problem is I just know how to use the FOUR command in MySQL and also hard for me to integrate it with PHP. It’s so difficult for me to work into that project, I cannot even do login with SESSION. We dont even have internet connection and reference. We just have a SAVE file of W3school website.After 3 days we realize We need help!.
We call one person, our friend, the best in the whole batch,ask him to help us. We provides and cook foods and do documents and I start to explain the concept of our project. I’m amazed how our project works, from login to creating users, uploading music by users and downloading it, liking song and counting every likes. I’m really happy that time when my concept work perfectly.
I remember the time during class presentation when we praise because of that project.When we got the the 1st place and got prize because of it. I remember the time when the one who help us, clap for us, and vote for us. I feel dissapointed for myself despite of honor and recognition I recieve.
Thats the time I start studying programming, specifically in web development using PHP and MySQL. I study HTML and CSS. Then during fourth year my friend introduce Bootstrap, it’s version 2 or 3.2 that time. Thats great app, I’m amazed how it works, I download template at startbootstrap and explore plugins for it. Big thanks to my friend.
I remember during my internship at Information and Communication Technology Office of our main campus,our superior introduce Yii2, a PHP framework, thats the time I understand that there’s a PHP framework. They introduce us many things like mailing using PHPMailer, login with email verification, forgot password with email, creating reports using MPDF and FPDF, using Google Map latitude and longtitude for the web, import export of CSV and they also talk about standard of government websites following the standard of iGov(for the Philippines) and introduce Foundation another framework.
Thats the late game of programming time in college, after intership I focus on my thesis. I use everything I learn but still not enough.
Having great UI and concept are not enough if you cannot deliver it. Another time of dissapointment for me, we never have any awards during our thesis, that time I’m their admin or group leader so all my fault. But I do everything but why? A question that I carry until my graduation. My graduation without honors,recognition, and any awards.And the last person go to stage.
Seeking Job I remember after graduation I forget programming due to dissapoint, I focus on graphic design and networking. I apply for graphic designers and tech support when I’m in Manila, I send emails and attend interview but I’m not lucky enough to get job easily, jobless for 7 months after graduation.
Unfortunately, my mom ask me to go home fortunately I have last interview. Maybe miracle, I got the job and unexpextedly it’s being a Web Developer. I don’t know why the thing we decided to forget is the thing come back for us. I’ve been employed in a manufacturing company where in all thise things I love are present, graphic designing, CAD, networking and programming, all thing are present and accessible in one place. Maybe it called DESTINY and the thing we need to value after all.
During my first year as a web developer, my superior introduce ASP.NET, C#, VB,MS Access, MySQL. Those technology, technology I intended to forget. We take some reasearch and I introduced PHP and we use Codeigniter as our framework. They introduce DB management tools like Navicat and HeidiSQL. They show me how to use Oracle DB, ASP.NET, IIS configuration.
I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it. -Pablo Picasso
After that year I explore many things not only in programming but also in hosting or deploying every sites we do. I learn
domain setting in on-premises and hosted websites.
These past 2 years, I remember that I join different communities like Stackoverflow, Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket. I create repo and open issues. Work on biometrics API and other API using PHP and ask, answer and help my co-dev in stackoverflow. Create some code in playgrounds, like jsfiddle, codepen, etc.
I start to study NoSQL databases, like MongoDB, Neo4J, couchdb, redis etc.Used different SQL database like PostgreSQL and SQLite. Experiment on Android Studio, follow python and Ruby tutorials. Setup Gitea and gogs, used linux OS and hackintosh for dev. Experiment XAMPP, WAMPP, LAMPP and Nginx.
And for those period of time, I never notice that I learn Javascript and its library JQuery, use AJAX and JSON, used Javascript charts and starting to love VueJS frameworks.
Educate Yourself When a question on a certain topics pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks yoir interest, read about it. Read read read. Study, learn, stimulate your brain. Don’t just rely on the school system, educate that beautiful mind of yours. -from Pinterest
Those things I remember why I’m a dev today and when I start into this path.

@main("Rules") {
Monopoly is played with 2 to 6 players, each starting with 1500€ budget. The first action of a turn is to move the token forward on the files by the number rolled on the dice. When landing on an unowned property, the player can decide to buy it for the given price. If the property is already bought by another player, he has to pay rent as listed on the property. If the property is already owned by the player stepping on it, nothing happens.
As you could imagine, this is the start field for every player. When passing this field, the player is given 200€. Other than that, nothing happens if you land on the fiel itself.
There are 2 tax fiels on the board. When landing on a tax field, the player has to pay the amount to the Bank. The income tax at the beginning of the board is 100€, the luxury tax at the end is 200€.
If you simply step on the Jail, nothing happens, since you are only visiting. If you somehow must go to Jail, you will have to roll a double to get out again. On each turn, you have 3 rolls to receive the double. Alternatively, you can pay 500€ to the Bank instead of rolling. When in Jail, you will still receive rent and you are allowed to buy houses.
On Free Parking, nothing happens. It is just a field without any effects.
This field already states its function alredy in its name. If you land on the "Go To Jail" field, you must immediately go to jail.
When landing on a Chance or Community Chest field, the player draws a card from the corresponding card stack. He then has to follow the instructions written on it.
Streets are the most fields on the board. They are in coloured groups of 2 or 3. If a player has all the streets of a group, he has several advantages: The base rent of each street is doubled and he is allowed to build houses. The rent of a street is determined by the amount of houses built on it.
There are 4 stations on the board. The rent when landing on one of them is determined by the amount of stations bought by the owner.
There is the electricity and the water works. When landing on those fields, the rent is 4 times the rolled dice if the player owns one of them and 10 times the rolled dice if the player owns both.

SSL_CTX_config, SSL_config - configure SSL_CTX or SSL structure
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_CTX_config(SSL_CTX *ctx, const char *name);
int SSL_config(SSL *s, const char *name);
The functions SSL_CTX_config() and SSL_config() configure an SSL_CTX or SSL structure using the configuration name.
By calling SSL_CTX_config() or SSL_config() an application can perform many complex tasks based on the contents of the configuration file: greatly simplifying application configuration code. A degree of future proofing can also be achieved: an application can support configuration features in newer versions of OpenSSL automatically.
A configuration file must have been previously loaded, for example using CONF_modules_load_file(). See config(5) for details of the configuration file syntax.
SSL_CTX_config() and SSL_config() return 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
If the file "config.cnf" contains the following:
testapp = test_sect
[test_sect]
# list of configuration modules
ssl_conf = ssl_sect
[ssl_sect]
server = server_section
[server_section]
RSA.Certificate = server-rsa.pem
ECDSA.Certificate = server-ecdsa.pem
Ciphers = ALL:!RC4
An application could call:
if (CONF_modules_load_file("config.cnf", "testapp", 0) <= 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error processing config file\n");
goto err;
}
ctx = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_server_method());
if (SSL_CTX_config(ctx, "server") == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error configuring server.\n");
goto err;
}
In this example two certificates and the cipher list are configured without the need for any additional application code.
config(5), SSL_CONF_cmd(3), CONF_modules_load_file(3)
The SSL_CTX_config() and SSL_config() functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

FROSH: NINE MONTHS IN A FRESHMAN DORM A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1994 Scott Renshaw
Filmed and directed by Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine.
In the summer of 1990, eighty incoming Stanford University freshman received a letter informing them of a unique opportunity. Documentary filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine were planning to record their all-freshman dorm for the year, and anyone who would feel uncomfortable with that arrangement was invited to switch to a different dorm. None so chose. The next nine months of their lives were saved for posterity as FROSH, an attempt to document a year when pupate human beings become adults. Unfortunately, it's not particularly successful. FROSH captures moments, but due to its overly large canvas it doesn't capture enough growth.
FROSH focuses its attention on nine of the eighty 1990-91 residents of Stanford's Trancos House. Shayne, a white Catholic woman, struggles to reconcile her religion with her budding feminism. Cheng, a first generation Chinese-American, quips about Stanford's liberal bias while coping with academic difficulties. Brandi, a middle-class African-American who admits early on that she's "never really had black friends," becomes friends with Monique, an African-American with a very different background. There's also Nick, an activist who's openly bisexual; Debbie, a woman from a conservative religious background; Gerardo, suspected by his dormmates of being gay; Scott, a perceptive and sharp-witted African-American; and Sam, a conservative white male who often finds himself at the center of controversy.
I should preface my comments by stating that I spent three years, in various capacities, living in freshman dorms at Stanford. I wasn't expecting to see anything I'd never seen before; what I was expecting was a film that highlighted real growing experiences, and allowed viewers to watch the first tentative steps of kids into adulthood. A few such moments in FROSH work extremely well, particularly Shayne's emotional discussion with a few friends about why she's considering leaving the Catholic Church. Another scene highlights Monique describing her troubled home life, prompting one young man to ask in amazement, "You mean your mom and dad were never married?" But there aren't enough of these moments. FROSH seems more interested in being a kind of rapidly edited video yearbook, and like most yearbooks it's only going to be really significant to those who lived the moments.
Part of the problem with FROSH is that even the nine-student focus is too large. FROSH will uncover an issue in one of their lives, but doesn't take the time to show us the resolution. We never learn, for example, if at the end of the year Shayne is still a Church-going Catholic; we never learn how Cheng recovers from his disappointing first-quarter grades. When it's all said and done, FROSH comes off as an interesting anthropological footnote, but not a particularly deep or insightful look at why the freshman year at a residential university is so significant.
My primary bone of contention is that in its attempt to keep its brow relatively high, FROSH almost completely ignores two of the most challenging issues of the freshman year: romantic relationships and substance use. There is one look at a blind date, but little more. No one in FROSH forms an in-dorm couple; no one is shown locked out by an "occupied" roommate; no one is shown breaking up with a high school sweetheart. These events are as formative as any late night discussion, but FROSH adopts a hands-off attitude. Similarly, while we witness a dorm party and a few subsequent hangovers, we see no one dealing with the pressures to drink, no one getting stoned for the first time. Perhaps out of fear of scaring off their subjects, Geller and Goldfine have excised most material parents wouldn't want to know.
FROSH does a nice job of capturing freshman in all their bombast and naivete. In one scene, a professor tells Debbie as she attempts to describe a term paper topic, "You're babbling"; in another, one dormmate asks Shayne, "If there was no, like, racism or sexism, what would you talk about?" Where it comes up short is as an examination of how much an individual can change in these nine pivotal months. Trust me ... I was there.

Two trains collide in Hyderabad, 16 injured
Commuters of the two trains were seen running out of the train after the mishap
by mid-day online correspondentHyderabad: In a shocking incident, two trains collided near Kacheguda railway station in Hyderabad on Monday, leaving 16 injured including the driver of a train who was trapped in the mangled remains of his cabin, officials told PTI.
A CCTV footage of the incident shows a Lingampalli-Falaknuma multi-modal transport system (MMTS) apparently overshooting the signal and collided with the Kurnool-Secunderabad Hundry Intercity Express (17028), causing the second and the third bogies of the trains to derail. Commuters of the trains were seen running out of the train after the mishap.
The driver of one of the trains who was trapped in his cabin after the accident was rescued a couple of hours later and sustained severe leg injuries. He was rushed to a private hospital where he was said to be stable and recovering, reported PTI. An inquiry has been initiated to ascertain the cause of the incident.
The Railway Ministry has announced a compensation of Rs 5,000 each to passengers with minor injuries and Rs 25,000 each to passengers having grievous injuries, the PTI report said.
Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal tweeted on this accident where he said that immediate instructions to the authorities for assistance & monitoring. He also said that arrangements have been to treat the injured at the accident site.

You arrive to find an overgrown garden. Vines trail from cracked stone walls. Moss sways on the oak boughes overhead, creating a cool, damp refuge from the afternoon sun. It is a peaceful place, but there is no sign of the one you seek.
Or, is there? Just before you give up your search, you notice a narrow passage through the vines. Parting them, you duck past a collapsed iron gate.
Here, on the other side of the garden wall, you find a door carved into the great trunk of a tree. Upon the door is a wooden sign that reads: "Lo, Traveler! Here is what you seek."

What do I think should be the victor at the Oscars?
{{ puzzle|as_ul:user|safe }}A set of nine metapuzzles themed around the 2020 Best Picture nominees, with a metameta dedicated to my favorite movie of the year. But, uh, it turns out writing nearly 75 puzzles in the month between when the nominees are announced and the actual awards is kind of hard, so I didn't bother. Instead, use the answers below as the feeders into the metas.
This is indebted to Deusovi's Recognizing a Metapuzzle, which pioneered the concept of "metas where the feeders don't actually exist". My twist was applying the match-answers-to-metas mechanic, which dates to at least 2008 but I think is now most associated with Foggy Brume's Puzzle Boats.
You can find a mapping of which feeders go with which metas, as well as all of the solutions, here.

IBM Storage solutions – The foundation for a hybrid multi-cloud world
by PartnerIn a fast-paced digital economy where knowledge is power, data is a valuable resource.
For the successful operation of modern businesses, it is therefore imperative to protect and manage data storage and data flows in a productive and cost-effective manner.
Few storage providers boast the resumé that multinational technology company IBM can showcase.
IBM is one of the pioneers of computer development and has been producing and selling hardware, middleware and software for decades.
Their product offering also includes leading hosting and storage solutions, which includes three products available from enterprise technology provider Tectight.
IBM Flash Storage
The IBM Storwize V7000 solution brings modern, fast, cost-efficient and scalable storage, supported by end-to-end NVMe support combined with IBM FlashCore technology.
The solution allows for five-times more data storage in the same footprint, which cuts capital and operational expenditure.
For high-capacity demand, businesses have the option of up to 720 drives, providing 32 petabytes of storage.
IBM Flash Storage technology also allows businesses to rapidly analyse the details of their data. This accelerates a business’s ability to obtain real-time value from this information to adapt and improve systems and optimise workflow.
In addition, IBM Storage Insights adds advanced AI-based storage resource management and its error-correcting code algorithm can detect and fix high bit rate errors, allowing for simplified data protection.
IBM Hybrid Storage
IBM Storage for the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform offers a comprehensive set of enterprise-ready tools and systems with flexible architectures that enable the implementation of a container-driven hybrid multi-cloud environment.
By unifying traditional and container-ready storage, IBM Hybrid Storage offers cloud-native agility, availability, reliability and security.
This platform simplifies the complex provisioning of persistent storage and eases the management of storage containers in production, while enabling the integration of automated processes.
The Platform is built on several key systems that work together to create the optimal multi-cloud:
- Spectrum Virtualize-based FlashSystem 9100 and Storwize arrays for hybrid multi-cloud main storage.
- IBM Cloud Object Storage for active archiving and cloud native applications.
- Spectrum Scale for efficient file and unstructured data performance.
- Spectrum Protect Suite for data protection and re-use.
These layered systems combine to benefit business systems in terms of scalable performance, container security, developer speed, and productivity and data availability.
IBM Storage Area Networks
IBM’s Storage Networking c-type 32Gbps Fabric Switches complement IBM’s Flash and Hybrid storage systems and offer several benefits to better manage your business’s networking needs.
C-type switches are known for their reliability in switching, performance and highly-available component design.
IBM’s c-type 32Gbps Fabric switches provide integrated SAN traffic analytics, with built-in network processors that can collect key metrics from IO flows from each connected device at wire speed, without affecting performance.
Enterprise-class features that are normally only available in high-end modular switches come standard in these devices.
These include slow drain isolation, link encryption and diagnostics, Virtual Machine Identity server and up to 8300 Buffer-to-Buffer (B2B) credits per port group.
Businesses will also benefit from lower costs thanks to the switches’ small form-factor at entry level and competitive prices on investment protection through technologies like the Fibre Channel-NVMe standard.
The switches are also simple to configure and manage through an onboard GUI. Interoperability is then supported with all existing installed bases of Fibre Channel switches and devices that operate at 4, 8, 16 and 32Gbps.

Density = {{density|number}}
The density of a graph is the number of its edges, called its size, divided by
the total number of edges possible. This metric is useful to assess whether
the graph is dense or sparse. For more information, check out
