STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT [Spoilers] A film review by Jonathan P. Crone Copyright 1996 Jonathan P. Crone
The Odd/Even rule gets proven again.
Star Trek First Contact is a romp through the Star Trek mythos that simultaneously shows the strengths of 'Trek' and the maddening weaknesses of Trek.
The Strong: Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, and Brent Spiner
Spiner pulls off a top notch job as Data gets teased by the Borg Queen with his ultimate desire. Right up to the climatic moment, you don't see the 'wham' coming.
Frakes just set himself up with a lucrative career as a film director. Good pacing, a strong style with the scenes inside the enterprise, a understanding of what is good about a Trek movie. As an actor we didn't have too much of the 'I'm Kirk's replacement' or the smugness that was regularly made fun of in 'Q' episodes. Its almost as if the Second in Command = good director rule needs definition. Nimoy, Frakes... not bad company.
Stewart's performances in individual scenes were stronger than the best that we saw from Shatner in complete movies. Patrick Stewart is the best part of First Contact. The portrayal drifting from the frustrated, to the man of action, to obsession, to resolution is delivered in a quality, appealling manner.
Unfortunately, everyone else is window dressing. Sirtis and Mcfadden get almost a prefunctory obligitory scene each. (But Sirtis made the most of it, with a hilarious scene with the Zephram Cochrane character)
Getting Michael Dorn onto the Enterprise was handled extremely well, but once he was onboard, Worf almost faded into the scenery. Too bad.
LeVar Burton had some good scenes with James Cromwell (Zephram Cochrane) but didn't get a chance to truly shine.
The guest stars were well chosen. The actress who played the Borg Queen had a perfect degree of menace, and in one scene (you'll know it when you see it) with Spiner/Data you could just feel the audience going 'whoa' Alfre Woodward had to be cast for her one key scene where she faces down Stewart/Picard. The rest of the movie, she gets in the way, but in one key moment she plays off the 'picard' mythos very well.
James Cromwell as Zephram Cochrane had a tough job. He has to play off everyone treating him as a hero, even if he doesn't believe he is one.
Well done. He ably plays the drunk who suddenly has to put up with hero worship.
The special effects are well executed, especially in the initial key combat sequences.
The new Enterprise is very pretty.
The distressing habit that Trek unveiled in Trek 6, that of the cameo appearance, carries on full strength into First Contact. One of the cameos, that of the Emergency Holodoc is well timed, but I could have done without hearing Nelix's voice in Ethan Phillip's (curiously uncredited) cameo in the holodeck, or Dwight Schultz's utterly pointless cameo as Brocoli (sorry, Barclay)
And now to the nasty bits.
My wife and I sat having dinner after the premier wondering if we'd just watched Aliens again or not. We finally decided that the best phrase was 'If imitiation is the sincerest form of flattery, then James Cameron (Director/writer of Aliens) must be damned flattered' First Contact is StarTrek meets the Aliens gang. That is not all bad, but damn it, this could have been MORE.
Scenes directly calling back the image of chest bursters from Aliens, a whole mental process of 'If they're going to get assimiliated, kill them first, its the best for them' down to the claustrophobia of the combat scenes in the corridors of the Enterprise felt pulled from Aliens.
The really bad. (SPOILER CITY BELOW)
Data and Jean-Luc save the Enterprise, save Zephram Cochrane, save humanity yet again.

I stopped watching Voyager because of crappy writing and magical mystery reset endings in 30 seconds. (plus technobabble etc.) DS9 still moderately suffers from this disease.
The Enterprise has just had most of its crew assimilated and Borgified, the ship itself has been collectivized and has been borg modified from decks 26 up to deck 3 or 4. ( A guess) They've jettisoned the deflector dish for crying out loud, and now 'SNAP BANG' off to warp?
Even a ' Captain's Log: we've spent 2 weeks in orbit repairing damage to the Enterprise and rigging a new deflector emitter. We now bid farewell to earth of the past with new hope" Something like that...
NOT Whiz bang, the ship is ready to honk back to the future????
Anyways, First Contact managed to in 2 1/2 minutes of film to damn near ruin my enjoyment of the film. Too bad...
Incidently: The Defiant gets thoroughly trashed at the beginning of the movie.. Anyone wondering if DS9 will have a throw in it to provide an 'absence' of the Defiant for a few episodes while it gets repaired? Given Trek's inability to provide for continuity, I'm not counting on it...
First Contact is worth seeing.

A Good Problem to Have
This post describes a novel way to use probabilistic data structures to improve the user experience of creating a new account.
You run a site where customers create an account with a user name and password. Your site is wildly successful and more customers flock to join. Soon all the good user names are taken. With all your success the fundamental user experience of creating an account begins to suck.
Why? The first group of users naturally choose their first name. But there are 4.8 million James in the United States and almost as many Johns. The twenty most common male names account for 32 percent of the male population. There are about 4 million Marys and 1.6 million Patricias. Incredibly prospective customers are told, “Sorry, username ‘Maurice’ is already taken”.
First initial and last name will go a lot further. However, thanks to human psychology, we again run out of steam sooner than you expect. At my company, there were three John Lloyds. Some first names just sound better with a last name like John and Lloyd. As a parent of five I can attest to thinking a lot about that.
Username validation requirements
By the time you reach 50,000 users (congratulations, by the way) your sucky UI will require the user to make repeated attempts to find a name that is not taken. Some frustrated non-customers are giving up; now you need to fix this problem quickly. For the ideal user experience your account creation UI needs to be simple and responsive. It should have these properties:
- A visual queue that the name being typed is not yet taken
- Less than 0.5s latency when checking if a given name is taken
The visual queue could be a greyed out “Submit” button whenever the name is already taken. It could also be a pink background in the user name text input box. With these improvements, your customers will once again be able to choose a name easily without the heartbreak of repeated rejections. The low latency is needed for the impression of a responsive UI.
The three images above show how a simple dialog can provide feedback for a taken username, a weak password, and a non-matching confirmation. In all cases the background is pink when there is a problem. The submit button is enabled only once all three problems are eliminated. Doing all three checks on the client side leads to a responsive and simple user experience.
Probabilistic data structures
This type of behavior should be done in JavaScript on the browser. Unfortunately, you can’t just download a long list of taken names. Even a trie of names is too big. A trie can compress common prefixes but the number of nodes is still proportional to the number of distinct names in the trie. The sheer number of names appears to make a client side solution impossible. Unless of course you are willing to trade off certainty for size.
Enter a probabilistic data structure called a Bloom Filter. Probabilistic algorithms behave like normal algorithms but have a theoretical chance of being wrong. The trade off is that they act faster or require less memory to produce the result.
A Bloom Filter is a probabilistic (unreliable) set. Unlike a trie, a Bloom Filter can compress both the letters and the number of words in a collection to an in-memory bit vector. You can’t always trust that a true result from testing set membership is correct, but a simple formula gives statistical limits on the number of false positives. Here is how it works.
Suppose the bit vector has size M, where M is very large. To add user name S to the filter, compute k hash values ${h_0(S), h_1(S), …, h_k(S)}$ and set those bits to 1. The k hash functions should be independent. The numbers M and k are selected based on the expected number of names. Checking for the presence of a name involves calculating the same set of bits and testing it they are set. If even one of them is not set, then the name could not be present in the filter. If, however, they are all set, the name is only likely to be present.
The space advantage in a Bloom Filter comes from the compactness from the data structure. A Bloom filter with 1% error and an optimal value of k, requires only about 9.6 bits (1.2 bytes) per element — regardless of the size of the elements. So a site with 50,000 user names would require 64K bytes for a filter. That’s the size of a small (400x600) gif image.
A word of caution. The theoretical percent error assumes the hash functions are mutually independent. It is not that easy to get a family of independent hash functions, but based on my research the error is not too far off.
Edge cases and Recommendations
There is a delay between the time that the bloom filter is calculated on the server and when it is used on the client. Suppose for the sake of argument that your site has 50,000 names and adds 600 more users every day. The bloom filter may be recalculated 6 times a day and republished.
If a new user happens to pick one if these 100 new user names before they are added they might still get a false negative.
What do you do when a false negative happens? The simplest solution is to blame latency. The user does not know that we are calculating taken names locally using a Bloom Filter. The UI could optimistically send the names being typed (after a 0.5 second pause) on to the server to validate. If the latency to your server is small, the additional check will only take an extra second. If the name is indeed still not taken, the “Submit” button can be enabled. If it happened to be among the 100 newly added names, that fact is sent to the client which adds the name to a stop-list of known taken names. The stop-list can be uploaded along with the Bloom Filter.
As you start out your web site all you really need is a stop-list to get the same user experience. One thousand 20 letter user names is only 20K un-compressed. Design your UX to scale up to 50 or 100 times as many users and change the test to use a bloom filter when the download size of the stop-list gets too big.
Limitations and Conclusion
Facebook has over 1.8 billion active users. A Bloom Filter solution will not scale to Facebook proportions. Google has the same ‘problem’. In these cases validation happens on the server and the server suggests a number of unused names to the user following certain patterns. Can you think of a way in which the giant could improve on this?
Good luck and I hope you enjoyed my first technical blog post. In the future I will share some code for making fast username validation happen.

WEEK 8 SUNDAY
Entrance Antiphon
Cf. Ps 17:19-20
The Lord became my protector. He brought me out to a place of freedom; he saved me because he delighted in me.
Collect
Grant us, O Lord, we pray, that the course of our world may be directed by your peaceful rule and that your Church may rejoice, untroubled in her devotion. Through our Lord...
Theme of the Sunday: God Is Father and Mother. The first reading and the gospel complement each other.
In the first reading God is compared to a mother, while in the gospel he is compared to a father who provides all that his children need.
Can we be so foolish as to abandon God who is so good, to worship idols? Can money give us more comfort? At what cost?
The second reading is also linked to this theme, because it tells us that Paul is not worried about what people say or think of him.
He places all his trust in God.
FIRST READING Isaiah 49:14-15
A reading from the Book of Isaiah
The word of the Lord
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 62:1-2.5-6.7-8ab (R. 5a)
R. In God alone be at rest, my soul.
In God
alone is my soul at rest; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock, my salvation,
my fortress; never shall I falter.
R. In God alone be at rest,
my soul.
In
God alone be at rest, my soul, for my hope is from him. He alone is my rock, my
salvation, my fortress; never shall I falter.
R. In God alone be at rest,
my soul.
In
God is my salvation and glory, my rock of strength; in God is my refuge. Trust
him at all times, O people. Pour out your hearts before him.
R. In God alone be at rest,
my soul.
SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 4:1-5
A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians
Brethren:
This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the
mysteries of God. Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. But with me it is a very small thing
that I should be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge
myself. I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby
acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore do not pronounce judgment
before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now
hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man
will receive his commendation from God.
The word of the Lord
ALLELUIA Hebrews 4:12
R. Alleluia. The word of the Lord is living and active, discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. R. Alleluia.
GOSPEL Matthew 6:24-34
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew
At
that time: Jesus said to his disciples, "No one can serve two
masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be
devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. "Therefore
I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you
shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of
the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by
being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? And why are you anxious
about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither
toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is
alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O
men of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?'
or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek all
these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek
first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as
well. "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be
anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Theme of the Sunday: Jesus the “Bridegroom.” The first reading tells us that God is the faithful bridegroom, even if the people (the bride) betray him. The gospel expands on the theme of wedding. This time it is Jesus who is the bridegroom and who chooses the church as his bride. He does not love it because it is good. He accepts it as it is and by his love transforms it into a faithful bride. If the present time is wedding time, then our fasting will have a new meaning. The second reading brings to our attention the example of Paul, a man who responded to the love of Christ with generosity and loyalty.
FIRST READING Hosea 2:16.17.21-22

tenderly to her. And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth,

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 103:1-2.3-4.8 and 10.12-13 (R. 8a)
R. The Lord is compassionate and gracious.
Bless
the LORD, O my soul, and all within me, his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my
soul, and never forget all his benefits.
R. The Lord is compassionate and gracious.
It is
the Lord who forgives all your sins, who heals every one of your ills, who
redeems your life from the grave, who crowns you with mercy and compassion.
R. The Lord is compassionate and gracious.
The LORD
is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and rich
in mercy. He does not treat us according to our sins, nor repay us according to
our faults.
R. The Lord is compassionate and gracious.
As
far as the east is from the west, so far from us does he remove our transgressions. As a father has compassion on his children,
the LORD’s compassion is on those who fear him.
R. The Lord is compassionate and gracious.
SECOND READING 2 Corinthians 3:1-6
A reading from the second Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians
Brethren:
Do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you? You
yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on your hearts, to be
known and read by all men; and you show that you are a letter from Christ
delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God,
not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such is the confidence
that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are competent of ourselves
to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, who has made
us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in
the Spirit; for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life.
The word of the Lord
ALLELUIA James 1:18
R. Alleluia. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth that we should be a kind of first fruits of his. R. Alleluia.
GOSPEL Mark 2:18-22
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark
At that
time: John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and people came and said
to him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast,
but your disciples do not fast?" And Jesus said to them, "Can the
wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the
bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. The days will come, when the bridegroom
is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. No one sews a
piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he
does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is
made. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will
burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins; but new wine is
for fresh skins."
The Gospel of the Lord.
Theme of the Sunday: Be Careful of So-called ‘Masters’!
The first reading gives us wise counsel. To ascertain what is in the heart of a person we should let them speak and we should listen carefully to what they say. The gospel gives us a series of “sayings” of Jesus about the “masters” of the Christian community. We should listen to what they say to see the store from which they draw their words, from the store of the Master or from the rubbish heap of their passions? The second reading is about our imperishable and immortal body. In the world to come we will have a new language, used only for praising the Lord. Here on earth we use it, at times, to cause harm to others.
FIRST READING Sirach 27:4-7
A reading from the Book of Sirach
When
a sieve is shaken, the refuse remains; so a man's filth remains in his
thoughts. The kiln tests the potter's vessels; so the test of a man is in tribulation.
The fruit discloses the cultivation of a tree; so the expression of a thought
discloses the cultivation of a man's mind. Do not praise a man before you hear
him speak, for this is the test of men.
The word of the Lord
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 92
R. It is good to give thanks to you, O Lord.
It is
good to give thanks to the LORD, to make music to your name, O Most High, to
proclaim your loving mercy in the morning, and your truth in the watches of the
night.

SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 15:54-58
A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians
Brethren:
When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on
immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is
swallowed up in victory." "O death, where is your victory? O death,
where is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is
the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be
steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in
the Lord your labour is not in vain.

ALLELUIA Philippians 2:15.16
R. Alleluia. You will shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life. R. Alleluia.
GOSPEL Luke 6:39-45
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
At
that time: Jesus told his disciples a parable: "Can a blind man lead a
blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above his
teacher, but every one when he is fully taught will be like his teacher. Why do
you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that
is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take
out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that
is in your own eye?  "For
no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; for
each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns, nor
are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good man out of the good treasure of
his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his
mouth speaks.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Prayer over the Offerings
O God, who provide gifts to be offered to your name and count our oblations as signs of our desire to serve you with devotion,
we ask of your mercy, that what you grant as the source of merit, may also help us to attain merit’s reward. Through Christ our Lord.

This profile includes all mini-drivers sitting on top of the User-space Device Driver framework (UDD).
The generic UDD core driver enables interrupt control and I/O memory access interfaces to user-space device drivers, as defined by the mini-drivers when registering.
A mini-driver supplements the UDD core with ancillary functions for dealing with memory mappings and interrupt control for a particular I/O card/device.
UDD-compliant mini-drivers only have to provide the basic support for dealing with the interrupt sources present in the device, so that most part of the device requests can be handled from a Xenomai application running in user-space. Typically, a mini-driver would handle the interrupt top-half, and the user-space application would handle the bottom-half.
This profile is reminiscent of the UIO framework available with the Linux kernel, adapted to the dual kernel Cobalt environment.
| #define UDD_IRQ_CUSTOM (-1) |
IRQ directly managed from the mini-driver on top of the UDD core.
The mini-driver is in charge of attaching the handler(s) to the IRQ(s) it manages, notifying the Cobalt threads waiting for IRQ events by calling the udd_notify_event() service.
Referenced by udd_disable_irq(), udd_enable_irq(), udd_register_device(), and udd_unregister_device().
| #define UDD_IRQ_NONE 0 |
No IRQ managed.
Special IRQ values for udd_device.irq Passing this code implicitly disables all interrupt-related services, including control (disable/enable) and notification.
Referenced by udd_disable_irq(), udd_enable_irq(), udd_register_device(), and udd_unregister_device().
| #define UDD_MEM_LOGICAL 2 |
Kernel logical memory region (e.g.
kmalloc()). By default, the UDD core maps such memory to a virtual user range by calling the rtdm_mmap_kmem() service.
| #define UDD_MEM_NONE 0 |
No memory region.
Use this type code to disable an entry in the array of memory mappings, i.e. udd_device.mem_regions[].
| #define UDD_MEM_PHYS 1 |
Physical I/O memory region.
By default, the UDD core maps such memory to a virtual user range by calling the rtdm_mmap_iomem() service.
| #define UDD_MEM_VIRTUAL 3 |
Virtual memory region with no direct physical mapping (e.g.
vmalloc()). By default, the UDD core maps such memory to a virtual user range by calling the rtdm_mmap_vmem() service.
| #define UDD_RTIOC_IRQDIS _IO(RTDM_CLASS_UDD, 1) |
Disable the interrupt line.
The UDD-class mini-driver should handle this request when received through its ->ioctl() handler if provided. Otherwise, the UDD core disables the interrupt line in the interrupt controller before returning to the caller.
| #define UDD_RTIOC_IRQEN _IO(RTDM_CLASS_UDD, 0) |
Enable the interrupt line.
The UDD-class mini-driver should handle this request when received through its ->ioctl() handler if provided. Otherwise, the UDD core enables the interrupt line in the interrupt controller before returning to the caller.
| #define UDD_RTIOC_IRQSIG _IOW(RTDM_CLASS_UDD, 2, struct udd_signotify) |
Enable/Disable signal notification upon interrupt event.
A valid notification descriptor must be passed along with this request, which is handled by the UDD core directly.
| void udd_disable_irq | ( | struct udd_device * | udd, |
| rtdm_event_t * | done | ||
| ) |
Disable the device IRQ line.
This service issues a request to the regular kernel for disabling the IRQ line registered by the driver. If the caller runs in primary mode, the request is scheduled but deferred until the current CPU leaves the real-time domain (see note). Otherwise, the request is immediately handled.
| udd | The UDD driver handling the IRQ to disable. If no IRQ was registered by the driver at the UDD core, this routine has no effect. |
| done | Optional event to signal upon completion. If non-NULL, done will be posted by a call to rtdm_event_signal() after the interrupt line is disabled. |
References udd_device::irq, UDD_IRQ_CUSTOM, and UDD_IRQ_NONE.
| void udd_enable_irq | ( | struct udd_device * | udd, |
| rtdm_event_t * | done | ||
| ) |
Enable the device IRQ line.
This service issues a request to the regular kernel for enabling the IRQ line registered by the driver. If the caller runs in primary mode, the request is scheduled but deferred until the current CPU leaves the real-time domain (see note). Otherwise, the request is immediately handled.
| udd | The UDD driver handling the IRQ to disable. If no IRQ was registered by the driver at the UDD core, this routine has no effect. |
| done | Optional event to signal upon completion. If non-NULL, done will be posted by a call to rtdm_event_signal() after the interrupt line is enabled. |
References udd_device::irq, UDD_IRQ_CUSTOM, and UDD_IRQ_NONE.
| struct udd_device* udd_get_device | ( | struct rtdm_fd * | fd | ) |
RTDM file descriptor to target UDD device.
Retrieves the UDD device from a RTDM file descriptor.
| fd | File descriptor received by an ancillary I/O handler from a mini-driver based on the UDD core. |
References rtdm_device::driver, rtdm_driver::profile_info, and rtdm_fd_device().
| void udd_notify_event | ( | struct udd_device * | udd | ) |
Notify an IRQ event for an unmanaged interrupt.
When the UDD core shall hand over the interrupt management for a device to the mini-driver (see UDD_IRQ_CUSTOM), the latter should notify the UDD core when IRQ events are received by calling this service.
As a result, the UDD core wakes up any Cobalt thread waiting for interrupts on the device via a read(2) or select(2) call.
| udd | UDD device descriptor receiving the IRQ. |
References rtdm_event_signal(), rtdm_irq_disable(), and rtdm_irq_enable().

Sometime in elementary school (for me, it was second grade), every Chinese kid would need to switch from writing with pencil to writing with a fountain pen - in every class. In addition to teaching us to write neatly, writing with a fountain pen was supposed to instill in us the value of doing things correctly the first time around. After all, ink, unlike graphite, was permanent, and showed our mistakes. So, if crossed-out sections or evidence of mysteriously ripped-out pages were found in our noteboks, we would be called up to the front of the class and berated for all to see.
Like any other eight-year-old having barely two years of handwriting experience, I dreaded writing with a fountain pen. Unlike the tip of a pencil, which writes in all directions, the fountain pen’s nib only put down ink properly at one angle. Furthermore, clumsy as I was, every night’s pen-refilling ritual left my hands dyed in blue. So, when we were given the opportunity to begin using gel pens (liquid ink, writes in all directions) halfway through third grade, I eagerly made the switch. I never thought I would ever voluntarily pick up a fountain pen again.
So, finding my old fountain pen from elementary schook during my trip to China was an strange yet interesting experience. I’m sure that eight-year-old Zian would never have imagined that thirteen years later, he had somehow become a fountain pen enthusiast, and own way too many bottles of ink and an unreasonable number of pens, but still feeling that he needed more. There was also a sense of nostalgia - coming back after finishing college and at the verge of graduate school, and seeing the equipment that helped me begin my academic journey all those years ago.
Unfortunately, the child-sized pen no longer feels comfortable in my hands, and years of disuse has left it clogged with ink. Like many Hero fountain pens made in that era, it also now has a cracked section, which is now unable to attach to the barrel, and the cap no longer closes tightly.
But let it, in its own, particular way, serve as a memento for reflection and introspection for years to come.


TWO DEATHS A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 5.5 Alternative Scale: ** out of ****
United Kingdom, 1995 U.S. Release Date: beginning Spring 1996 (limited) Running Length: 1:42 MPAA Classification: R (Nudity, sex, violence, mature themes) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1
Cast: Michael Gambon, Sonia Braga, Patrick Malahide, Nickolas Grace, John Shrapnel Director: Nicolas Roeg Producers: Carolyn Montagu and Luc Roeg Screenplay: Allan Scott based on the play by Stephen Dobyns Cinematography: Witold Stok Music: Hans Zimmer U.S. Distributor: Castle Hill Productions
TWO DEATHS, Nicolas Roeg's latest film, is positive proof, if any is needed, that a solid cast and fascinating conversations about provocative subjects aren't enough to guarantee a successful motion picture. TWO DEATHS ventures into the mine field of sexual obsession, humiliation, and degradation, and doesn't emerge unscathed. There can be merit in making a film about these subjects (see Peter Greenaway's THE COOK, THE THIEF, THE WIFE & HER LOVER), but when the storyline becomes as painfully contrived as this one, much value is lost.
The backdrop for this overplotted story is Bucharest in 1989, when the reign of Socialist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu came to a violent end. Pitched battles are being fought in the streets, with soldiers battling revolutionary students and each other. A city-wide curfew has been declared, and those who venture outside risk their lives For much of TWO DEATHS, this revolution adds color to the main story, which takes place entirely within a Bucharest mansion. Eventually, unfortunately, the outside violence spills into the house, resulting in several hard- to-swallow plot twists and an ending that is laughably over-the-top.
TWO DEATHS opens with Dr. Daniel Pavenic (Michael Gambon, who played an equally depraved role in THE COOK) hosting an annual reunion dinner party for old school chums. Although a dozen are invited, only three make it. Because of the violence outside, Pavenic's medical services are in demand, so he's late. While waiting for him, the others speculate about the identity of a woman in one of Pavenic's photographs -- is she his daughter, someone he killed on the operating table, or something else? The doctor arrives and dispels the mystery: she's Ana (Sonia Braga), his housekeeper and sexual slave. Also, in his own words, she's the woman he "chose to destroy."
This establishes TWO DEATHS' central mystery, and, while it's an intriguing one, the payoff is unsatisfactory. Not only does it seem to take forever for the full truth to be uncovered (there are numerous annoying interruptions in Pavenic's narrative as wounded requiring his attention arrive at the front door), but Ana's tale lacks the tragic depth we are led to expect. As TWO DEATHS evolves, we're afforded glimpses into the lives of Pavenic's guests, all of whom despise their host. Unfortunately, none of these people captures even a scintilla of our sympathy. In fact, there's no one who evokes a moment's compassion
The fascinating parts of TWO DEATHS are the discussions about love, obsession, lust, degradation, and perversity. What differentiates one from the other? How unusual is sexual obsession, and how does one exist when trapped by it? Is Pavenic evil or merely the helpless prisoner of his own towering desire? TWO DEATHS explores some compelling issues, although it rarely offers any new or groundbreaking viewpoints.
Gambon gives a persuasive and chilling interpretation of Pavenic: dry, world-weary, and self-deprecating. The offhand manner in which he describes his past actions would be horrifying if we cared anything about the participants. A performance like this deserves better material. Sonia Braga's Ana is completely indecipherable, which, I assume, is the intention. The supporting performers, including Patrick Malahide as an effete reporter whose marriage was ruined by Pavenic, are adequate, although not spectacular.
It's clear from the beginning that TWO DEATHS is based on a play -- confined in Pavenic's house, it's hopelessly stagebound, and the bizarre, jumpy structure (constantly interrupting the doctor's narrative) dispels the sense of claustrophobia that might have added some dark power to the contrived story. The shots of bloodshed in the streets are grimly effective, but these are always brief and often used merely as transition shots for the action within the doctor's domain. There are many possible interpretations for the title, but, in the end, the number of deaths is irrelevant considering that none of these characters ever seems really alive.

DOWN TO YOU A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2000 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): **
In writer/director Kris Isacsson's light-weight film, DOWN TO YOU, two college kids fall in and out of love. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Julia Stiles, the movie's likable stars, manage to be mildly interesting in a film that almost never is.
The story has some intriguing story elements, but the director seems lost about what to do with them. And Robert Yeoman's bland and uninviting cinematography doesn't provide much support to a movie that could use some help.
Al (Prinze) is an upper classman who spies a beautiful freshman, Imogen (Stiles), at a party. Their initial exchange, with its excessively cute dialog, doesn't bode well for the rest of the story. Her name, she feels obligated to explain, came from a name book that her mother used. When she gets -- quite unconvincingly -- tipsy, she blames it on her boozing style. "I shouldn't drink between drinks," she tells him.
The movie's only effective moments are the frequent asides that the leads give to the camera. In these they seem to be honestly talking about love, in contrast to their lack of much genuine chemistry when they're together. Stiles tries hard, but the obvious conclusion is that she's better cast when she's nasty, as she was in 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, than when she's nice, as she is here.
Much of the show concerns the many minor characters. Al's father (Henry Winkler) has a famous television cooking show, "Chef Ray." His scheme for his son is that they should create a "reality-based cooking show." In a dream sequence we get to watch an episode as a SWAT team of chefs descends on a typical suburban home. With guns drawn, they throw out the family's bad food and teach them how to cook better meals.

When the movie can't keep the romance angle going, it falls back on teen movie clichés . "What do kids do whenever they can't work things out?" Imogen asks her roommate (Rosario Dawson). "ParDEE! ParDEE!" the roommate fires back.
 It is rated PG-13 for sexual situations and profanity and would be acceptable for kids 12 and up.

Text description provided by the architects. This is a project of a house for a married couple and two cats, located in Tokyo. The project had started based on the idea that humans and cats live in a same house, rather than cats living in a house designed for humans — and finally this idea brought out a concept: “a house inside which you feel being outside.”
The shape of the building was decided as an irregular quadrangle in accordance with the irregularly-shaped quadrangular site. The roof and wall sides of the volume have carefully designed openings, through which light, wind or rain could enter into the building. Plants are planted in the ground under the roof opening which allows rain to enter in. The boxes for bedroom and for bathroom are put in the outer volume; and a living room is located above the bedroom box and a deck above the bathroom box.
Inside the volume, there is a space in which you would feel yourself being outside: Light, wind or rain could enter in, so that your way of living depends on the weather; but in this house, you would always positively seek to find another images of life. Areas on the floor on which rain falls vary according to the wind direction, so you would seek to find the area where you don’t get wet. As you live longer, you would find out, from your experiences, various things about the relation between the extent to which rain enters in on the one hand, and the location of objects, furniture and yourself on the other. And, there is no air-conditioner in this house.
During intermediate seasons or summer, both humans and cats live in natural draft, or, in the other words, they live in the air environment which is almost same as the outside. On windy or chilly days, you could stay in the indoor boxes or the living room with glass sliding doors closed. Figures and other many items which had been collected are located not only indoors, but many of which are also put on the outdoor shelves to the extent that it is possible.
Cats walk on the thin line on which rain doesn’t fall and find places in the sun to take a nap. The couple stay in the living room upstairs with glass doors open, sometimes even on rainy days; they often live a life in which they feel themselves being outside even while being inside.
People living in the modern era attempt in the modern way to reduce energy consumption and to coexist with nature — this is also a positive attempt to find what ways of life are possible beyond energy problems and this, in turn, beyond way of life, leading to the important themes about human mental activities. The couple and cats who had lived in an apartment are now pioneering the new images of life every day in the weather-dependent house inside which they feel being outside.

Policewoman injured after horror hit-and-run during traffic stop
Met Police said the police officer tried to stop an Alfa Romeo before it reversed along the pavement and hit a police vehicle as she was getting out of it
by Joseph Wilkes, https://www.facebook.com/dailymirror/A police officer has been injured after she attempted to stop a vehicle which reversed along the pavement and crashed into a police vehicle.
She suffered leg and neck injuries but the driver failed to stop and drove off from the scene.
Met Police say the policewoman tried to stop an Alfa Romeo in Brent in north west London which was “being driven by a man suspected of driving whilst being disqualified” at 4.10pm today.
A spokesman said: “After the car stopped in Windermere Avenue, Wembley, it then reversed along the pavement and collided with a police vehicle.
“As a result, a female police officer, who was getting out of the vehicle suffered leg and neck injuries.”
The police officer was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital.
Thankfully the spokesman said “her condition is not believed to be life-threatening”.
Police have made no arrests so far but “enquiries continue to locate the Alfa Romeo and the driver.”
- Any witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to call police on 101, quoting CAD 5316/06NOV,
or tweet @MetCC. Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.

George is your Lemming. We would like to once again thank you for sponsering George, especially since he is one of the Steppe Lemmings (Don't worry we will kepp the Haribos away from him!) If it was not for people like you George would proably been a starter for a Polar Bear three course meal!
George is a fairly recent addition to us. We were given him by a shipping vessel that was passing through the Arctic. It turns our George was stuck to their hull and was taken to the port of Aberdeen. Once their people saw him and called the SSPCA to come and collect him. Obviously they were not well equiped to deal with him, so after the rescue they gave him to us and now he is here enjoying life. George is a Steppe Lemming and as such suffers from a form of diabetes. For this reason he has a strict yet resonable diet. He is out going and really likes swimming!. For George we estimate that it will cost us around 30 pounds a month to keep him.


we have an amazing place to enjoy pizza.
limz Pizza is locally
owned and operated by limooh and tj.
we have been in the pizza making business
for over 10 years. You can try some of the best
pizza in town or try our famous wet
burritos!
We know you will absolutely love your food and friendly service!

Story: The |nu'she, the tt' e, and the wind and rain
The |nu'she, the tt' e, and the wind and rain
Title
The |nu'she, the tt' e, and the wind and rain
Collection
Summary
The |nu'she (a small black bird) calls when the sun is small and has not risen (it is in the ground). When the wind blows hard the rain comes, and the wind ceases when the rain falls. While the people eat the !naxane, the tt' e (a fowl-like bird) calls. These birds also eat !naxane.
Comments
1) p.9817v: (15 March 1881) !nanni heard this from his paternal grandfather (Karu); the cloud-wind makes the people afraid and scorpions come and bite them in the night, 2) p.9819v: some !kun names for sweet foods found in their country, 3) This story is found in Book XI & XII-10

Welcome to the gallery. With the August '99 release of the library it includes the ability to take a snapshot of the screen and store it in a "PNG" file. PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics and was created pretty much in response to the stupid patent on GIF images. PNG images are patent free and get good compression, especially on "artificial" types of pictures like things generated by my simple 3D code. You can read all about it on the PNG Home Page. If you create something cool with the library take a snapshot and send it to me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with a description of how it was created and if its cool I'll post it here.
Of course some browsers won't display PNG graphics, so I've converted the files to JPGs for putting here on the web site. Sigh.
| The image at right is the "Marble Cube." It was created by the simple demo ModelTest in the win95 demos directory. The neat thing about this model was that it was an easy test case for texturing since a cube is pretty easy to texture map. When debugging the code, having only six faces to deal with and a straightforward lighting model helped a lot. You can see the origin has X, Y, and Z arrows centered on it. These arrows are useful for orienting your eyes to the scene and are created by calling p3dc_draw_axes. |
| The image to the left is the "Marble Sphere". This is a sphere that was generated automatically by a C program I wrote that tesselates an octagon.That program was based on the sphere.c program written by Jon Leech. The sphere has 66 vertices and 128 polygons. It doesn't appear too round when you are up close to it, but it looks great when it fills less than 1/4 of the screen. And there is a two-tone version here. |
| The image at right is taken from "SceneTest" which I wrote to test multiple camera views. Its hard to tell from the thumbnail at right but there are actually three camera views being displayed. The top 2/3 of the image (640 x 360) is a 16:9 aspect ratio view being displayed by a fixed camera located at position [10.0, 10.0, -25.0]. In the lower right there is a 4:3 aspect ratio view (standard CRT ration) (160 x 120 pixels) that is coming from a camera located nominally at [5.0, 5.0, -5.0] but I say nominally because the program allows you to move it with the arrow keys. This camera is "targeted" on the moving airplane so it constantly changes its view direction to keep the airplane in sight. If you look at the expanded picture you will see that the airplane is heading for the sphere and the camera is dutifully tracking it. Finally there is a small square view (100 x 100) that is coming from a camera whose position is fixed relative to the flying airplane model giving something of a 'spotter plane' view. In the full size image you can see the plane in this view. This camera maintains an orientation that is identical to the model. |
| The image on the left is another in the
multicamera series. This one is taken from a recent build
of SceneTest which has a few objects and
several views. The coolest thing about this one is that
the sphere on the right is the earth and the sphere on
the left is the moon! I built a new utility for
tesselating spheres using latitude/longitude patches
(rather than triangles) and built one with about 200
polygons. Then I slapped on the earthmap JPEG that is
floating around the net (after converting it into a
texture that P3DC understood of course!) This now gives
P3DC the ability to do planets if you have a 256 x 128
texture you want wrapped around it. As above the views
are: upper left -- fixed view, upper-right -- user camera view, lower-left -- view from behind the plane. |


loading awesome stuff ...
CONNECT platform allows you to create server-less microservices intuitively and efficiently, without compromising the control you would get with traditional coding. Become faster, less error-prone and more focused.

Because of the non-linear flow of asynchronous code, it inevitably tangles upon itself when you represent it in a linear fashion, i.e. text-based representation:
However, you can easily untangle that flow by simply presenting it on a graph, which naturally results in a more intuitive and faster to work with form:
Our serverless platform allows you to focus on the logic of your micro-services while CONNECT platform takes care of the rest.
OR, use our docker image to deploy anywhere from your own servers to your laptop or use our boiler-plate project to create your own CONNECT-based projects. Want to attach CONNECT to an existing Node.js service? Simply use our NPM package!
Start Now//
// get the platform
//
const platform = require('connect-platform');
//
// add a node that outputs hellow to some dude
//
platform.node(
//
// so first the signature of the node.
//
{
path: '/my-package/hellow',
public: false,
inputs: ['dude'],
outputs: ['message'],
},
//
// then the functionality.
//
(inputs, output) => {
output('message', `hellow ${inputs.dude}!`);
}
);
Switch to coding in Javascript at any point you find synchronous coding more convenient, as CONNECT is based on Node.js.
Use any NPM package on your instances, or easily create your own CONNECT packages using our package boilerplate project on GitHub.
With this level of flexibility and technical freedom, you can practically build any logical microservice that you could build with Node.js in a fraction of the time. This is not just hyperbole: that is how we built the Platform as a Service (PaaS) for CONNECT utilizing CONNECT itself.
Utilize functionality of a CONNECT micro-service in another one just as you would call a function of another package. CONNECT makes inter-connecting your micro-services consistently effortless.
Inter-CONNECT is not limited to micro-services built with CONNECT. Any remote service complying with the INTERCONNECTIBILITY API spec can be easily integrated into CONNECT platform.

 If you made a gift, whether big or small, thank you. You help make the Faculty of Arts & Science what it is: an interdisciplinary network of learning and innovation across the humanities, sciences and social sciences; a supportive and collaborative community; and an internationally respected hub of education, research and public engagement. As Arts & Science faculty and staff, you see firsthand the transformative impact your generosity can have. Scholarships and bursaries help improve access to education for exceptional students from around the world.
Here’s why John Stinchcombe, a professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, gives back. Donor support also honours the accomplishments and contributions of colleagues who have made a difference at our Faculty, and within the broader community. That's why Mark Lautens, a professor in the Department of Chemistry, chooses to give. Philanthropic gifts also advance our award-winning research programs in the arts, humanities, sciences and social sciences, which fuel innovation and strengthen the position of the University of Toronto—now ranked number 18 in the world—as a scholarly powerhouse tackling the most pressing issues on the global stage. Read why Catherine Monahan, managing editor of the Dictionary of Old English, has been giving back for more than 25 years. Once again, thank you for your thoughtful generosity. The support of faculty and staff is a foundation of our community’s strength, which is now more important than ever. As we continue to adapt to our new academic reality, I am grateful for your commitment, resilience and flexibility. Together, we can overcome any challenge and continue to accomplish great things. Best wishes, Melanie A. Woodin Dean, Faculty of Arts & Science University of Toronto |
