mtools(1) mtools(1) Name mtools - utilities to access DOS disks in Unix. Introduction Mtools is a collection of tools to allow Unix systems to manipulate MS- DOS files: read, write, and move around files on an MS-DOS file system (typically a floppy disk). Where reasonable, each program attempts to emulate the MS-DOS equivalent command. However, unnecessary restrictions and oddities of DOS are not emulated. For instance, it is possible to move subdirectories from one subdirectory to another. Mtools is sufficient to give access to MS-DOS file systems. For instance, commands such as mdir a: work on the a: floppy without any pre‐ liminary mounting or initialization (assuming the default `/etc/mtools.conf' works on your machine). With mtools, one can change floppies too without unmounting and mounting. Where to get mtools Mtools can be found at the following places (and their mirrors): http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.17.tar.gz http://mtools.linux.lu/mtools-4.0.17.tar.gz ftp://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools/mtools-4.0.17.tar.gz ftp://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/disk-management/mtools-4.0.17.tar.gz Before reporting a bug, make sure that it has not yet been fixed in the Alpha patches which can be found at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/ http://mtools.linux.lu/ ftp://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools These patches are named mtools-version-ddmm.taz, where version stands for the base version, dd for the day and mm for the month. Due to a lack of space, I usually leave only the most recent patch. There is an mtools mailing list at mtools @ tux.org . Please send all bug reports to this list. You may subscribe to the list by sending a message with 'subscribe mtools @ tux.org' in its body to majordomo @ tux.org . (N.B. Please remove the spaces around the "@" both times. I left them there in order to fool spambots.) Announcements of new mtools versions will also be sent to the list, in addition to the Linux announce newsgroups. The mailing list is archived at http://lists.gnu.org/piper‐ mail/info-mtools/ Common features of all mtools commands Options and filenames MS-DOS filenames are composed of a drive letter followed by a colon, a subdirectory, and a filename. Only the filename part is mandatory, the drive letter and the subdirectory are optional. Filenames without a drive letter refer to Unix files. Subdirectory names can use either the '/' or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator or wildcards requires the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell. However, wildcards in Unix filenames should not be enclosed in quotes, because here we want the shell to expand them. The regular expression "pattern matching" routines follow the Unix-style rules. For example, `*' matches all MS-DOS files in lieu of `*.*'. The archive, hidden, read-only and system attribute bits are ignored during pattern matching. All options use the - (minus) as their first character, not / as you'd expect in MS-DOS. Most mtools commands allow multiple filename parameters, which doesn't follow MS-DOS conventions, but which is more user-friendly. Most mtools commands allow options that instruct them how to handle file name clashes. See section name clashes, for more details on these. All commands accept the -V flags which prints the version, and most accept the -v flag, which switches on verbose mode. In verbose mode, these com‐ mands print out the name of the MS-DOS files upon which they act, unless stated otherwise. See section Commands, for a description of the options which are specific to each command. Drive letters The meaning of the drive letters depends on the target architectures.  On those sys‐ tems where the device name is derived from the SCSI id, the Jaz drive is assumed to be at SCSI target 4, and the Zip at SCSI target 5 (factory default settings). On Linux, both drives are assumed to be the second drive on the SCSI bus (/dev/sdb). The default settings can be changes using a configuration file (see section Configuration). The drive letter : (colon) has a special meaning. It is used to access image files which are directly specified on the command line using the -i options. Example: mcopy -i my-image-file.bin ::file1 ::file2 . This copies file1 and file2 from the image file (my-image-file.bin) to the /tmp directory. You can also supply an offset within the image file by including @@offset into the file name. Example: mcopy -i my-image-file.bin@@1M ::file1 ::file2 . This looks for the image at the offset of 1M in the file, rather than at its beginning. Current working directory The mcd command (`mcd') is used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to the MS-DOS file system), otherwise the default is assumed to be A:/. However, unlike MS-DOS, there is only one working directory for all drives, and not one per drive. VFAT-style long file names This version of mtools supports VFAT style long filenames. If a Unix filename is too long to fit in a short DOS name, it is stored as a VFAT long name, and a companion short name is generated. This short name is what you see when you examine the disk with a pre-7.0 version of DOS. The following table shows some examples of short names: Long name MS-DOS name Reason for the change --------- ---------- --------------------- thisisatest THISIS~1 filename too long alain.knaff ALAIN~1.KNA extension too long prn.txt PRN~1.TXT PRN is a device name .abc ABC~1 null filename hot+cold HOT_CO~1 illegal character As you see, the following transformations happen to derive a short name: * Illegal characters are replaced by underscores. The illegal char‐ acters are ;+=[]',\"*\\<>/?:|. * Extra dots, which cannot be interpreted as a main name/extension separator are removed * A ~n number is generated, * The name is shortened so as to fit in the 8+3 limitation The initial Unix-style file name (whether long or short) is also called the primary name, and the derived short name is also called the secondary name. Example: mcopy /etc/motd a:Reallylongname Mtools creates a VFAT entry for Reallylongname, and uses REALLYLO as a short name. Reallylongname is the primary name, and REALLYLO is the sec‐ ondary name. mcopy /etc/motd a:motd Motd fits into the DOS filename limits. Mtools doesn't need to derivate another name. Motd is the primary name, and there is no secondary name. In a nutshell: The primary name is the long name, if one exists, or the short name if there is no long name. Although VFAT is much more flexible than FAT, there are still names that are not acceptable, even in VFAT. There are still some illegal characters left (\"*\\<>/?:|), and device names are still reserved. Unix name Long name Reason for the change --------- ---------- --------------------- prn prn-1 PRN is a device name ab:c ab_c-1 illegal character As you see, the following transformations happen if a long name is ille‐ gal: * Illegal characters are replaces by underscores, * A -n number is generated, Name clashes When writing a file to disk, its long name or short name may collide with an already existing file or directory. This may happen for all commands which create new directory entries, such as mcopy, mmd, mren, mmove. When a name clash happens, mtools asks you what it should do. It offers sev‐ eral choices: overwrite Overwrites the existing file. It is not possible to overwrite a directory with a file. rename Renames the newly created file. Mtools prompts for the new file‐ name autorename Renames the newly created file. Mtools chooses a name by itself, without prompting skip Gives up on this file, and moves on to the next (if any) To chose one of these actions, type its first letter at the prompt. If you use a lower case letter, the action only applies for this file only, if you use an upper case letter, the action applies to all files, and you won't be prompted again. You may also chose actions (for all files) on the command line, when invoking mtools: -D o Overwrites primary names by default. -D O Overwrites secondary names by default. -D r Renames primary name by default. -D R Renames secondary name by default. -D a Autorenames primary name by default. -D A Autorenames secondary name by default. -D s Skip primary name by default. -D S Skip secondary name by default. -D m Ask user what to do with primary name. -D M Ask user what to do with secondary name. Note that for command line switches lower/upper differentiates between primary/secondary name whereas for interactive choices, lower/upper dif‐ ferentiates between just-this-time/always. The primary name is the name as displayed in Windows 95 or Windows NT: i.e. the long name if it exists, and the short name otherwise. The sec‐ ondary name is the "hidden" name, i.e. the short name if a long name exists. By default, the user is prompted if the primary name clashes, and the secondary name is autorenamed. If a name clash occurs in a Unix directory, mtools only asks whether to overwrite the file, or to skip it. Case sensitivity of the VFAT file system The VFAT file system is able to remember the case of the filenames. How‐ ever, filenames which differ only in case are not allowed to coexist in the same directory. For example if you store a file called LongFileName on a VFAT file system, mdir shows this file as LongFileName, and not as Longfilename. However, if you then try to add LongFilename to the same directory, it is refused, because case is ignored for clash checks. The VFAT file system allows to store the case of a filename in the attribute byte, if all letters of the filename are the same case, and if all letters of the extension are the same case too. Mtools uses this information when displaying the files, and also to generate the Unix filename when mcopying to a Unix directory. This may have unexpected results when applied to files written using an pre-7.0 version of DOS: Indeed, the old style filenames map to all upper case. This is different from the behavior of the old version of mtools which used to generate lower case Unix filenames. high capacity formats Mtools supports a number of formats which allow to store more data on disk as usual. Due to different operating system abilities, these formats are not supported on all operating systems. Mtools recognizes these for‐ mats transparently where supported. In order to format these disks, you need to use an operating system spe‐ cific tool. For Linux, suitable floppy tools can be found in the fdutils package at the following locations~: ftp://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/fdutils/. ftp://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/disk-management/fdutils-* See the manual pages included in that package for further detail: Use superformat to format all formats except XDF, and use xdfcopy to format XDF. More sectors The oldest method of fitting more data on a disk is to use more sectors and more cylinders. Although the standard format uses 80 cylinders and 18 sectors (on a 3 1/2 high density disk), it is possible to use up to 83 cylinders (on most drives) and up to 21 sectors. This method allows to store up to 1743K on a 3 1/2 HD disk. However, 21 sector disks are twice as slow as the standard 18 sector disks because the sectors are packed so close together that we need to interleave them. This problem doesn't exist for 20 sector formats. These formats are supported by numerous DOS shareware utilities such as fdformat and vgacopy. In his infinite hubris, Bill Gate$ believed that he invented this, and called it `DMF disks', or `Windows formatted disks'. But in reality, it has already existed years before! Mtools supports these formats on Linux, on SunOS and on the DELL Unix PC. Bigger sectors By using bigger sectors it is possible to go beyond the capacity which can be obtained by the standard 512-byte sectors. This is because of the sector header. The sector header has the same size, regardless of how many data bytes are in the sector. Thus, we save some space by using fewer, but bigger sectors. For example, 1 sector of 4K only takes up header space once, whereas 8 sectors of 512 bytes have also 8 headers, for the same amount of useful data. This method allows to store up to 1992K on a 3 1/2 HD disk. Mtools supports these formats only on Linux. 2m The 2m format was originally invented by Ciriaco Garcia de Celis. It also uses bigger sectors than usual in order to fit more data on the disk. However, it uses the standard format (18 sectors of 512 bytes each) on the first cylinder, in order to make these disks easier to handle by DOS. Indeed this method allows to have a standard sized boot sector, which contains a description of how the rest of the disk should be read. However, the drawback of this is that the first cylinder can hold less data than the others. Unfortunately, DOS can only handle disks where each track contains the same amount of data. Thus 2m hides the fact that the first track contains less data by using a shadow FAT. (Usually, DOS stores the FAT in two identical copies, for additional safety. XDF stores only one copy, but tells DOS that it stores two. Thus the space that would be taken up by the second FAT copy is saved.) This also means that you should never use a 2m disk to store anything else than a DOS file system. Mtools supports these formats only on Linux. XDF XDF is a high capacity format used by OS/2. It can hold 1840 K per disk. That's lower than the best 2m formats, but its main advantage is that it is fast: 600 milliseconds per track. That's faster than the 21 sector format, and almost as fast as the standard 18 sector format. In order to access these disks, make sure mtools has been compiled with XDF support, and set the use_xdf variable for the drive in the configuration file. See section Compiling mtools, and `miscellaneous variables', for details on how to do this. Fast XDF access is only available for Linux kernels which are more recent than 1.1.34. Mtools supports this format only on Linux. Caution / Attention distributors: If mtools is compiled on a Linux kernel more recent than 1.3.34, it won't run on an older kernel. However, if it has been compiled on an older kernel, it still runs on a newer kernel, except that XDF access is slower. It is recommended that distribution authors only include mtools binaries compiled on kernels older than 1.3.34 until 2.0 comes out. When 2.0 will be out, mtools binaries com‐ piled on newer kernels may (and should) be distributed. Mtools binaries compiled on kernels older than 1.3.34 won't run on any 2.1 kernel or later. Exit codes All the Mtools commands return 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on partial failure. All the Mtools commands perform a few sanity checks before going ahead, to make sure that the disk is indeed an MS-DOS disk (as opposed to, say an ext2 or MINIX disk). These checks may reject par‐ tially corrupted disks, which might otherwise still be readable. To avoid these checks, set the MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK environmental variable or the corresponding configuration file variable (see section global variables) Bugs An unfortunate side effect of not guessing the proper device (when multi‐ ple disk capacities are supported) is an occasional error message from the device driver. These can be safely ignored. The fat checking code chokes on 1.72 Mb disks mformatted with pre-2.0.7 mtools. Set the environmental variable MTOOLS_FAT_COMPATIBILITY (or the corresponding configuration file variable, `global variables') to bypass the fat checking.

data.list.basic
#list α
is the type of lists of elements of type α. Lists are finite and ordered, and can contain duplicates. Lists can only contain elements of the same type. Lists are constructed using the cons function, which appends an element of α to the top of a list. Lists are discussed in more detail in TPIL, chapter 7.5
[1, 1, 2, 4] ≠ [1, 2, 1, 4]
[1, 2, 1, 4] ≠ [1, 2, 4]
data.multiset
#multiset α
is the type of multisets of elements of type α. Multisets are finite and can contain duplicates, but are not ordered. They are defined as the quotient of lists over the perm
equivalence relation. Multisets can only contain elements of the same type.
{1, 1, 2, 4} = {1, 2, 1, 4}
{1, 1, 2, 4} ≠ {1, 2, 4}
data.finset
#finset α
is the type of unordered lists of distinct elements of type α. A finset is contructed from a multiset and a proof that the multiset contains no duplicates. Finsets are finite. Finsets can only contain elements of the same type.
{1, 1, 2, 4} = {1, 2, 1, 4}
{1, 1, 2, 4} = {1, 2, 4}
data.set.basic
#set α
. A set is defined as a predicate, i.e. a function α → Prop
. The notation used is {n : ℕ | 4 ≤ n}
for the set of naturals greater than or equal to 4. Sets can be infinite, and can only contain elements of the same type.
A subtype is similar to a set in that it is defined by a predicate. The notation used is {n : ℕ // 4 ≤ n}
for the type of naturals greater than or equal to 4. However, a subtype is a type rather than a set, and the elements the aforementioned subtype do not have type ℕ
, they have type {n : ℕ // 4 ≤ n}
. This means that addition is not defined on this type, and equality between naturals and this type is also undefined. However it is possible to coerce an element of this subtype back into a natural, in the same way that a natural can be coerced into an integer, and then addition and equality behave as normal (see TPIL, chapter 6.7 for more on coercions). To construct an element of a subtype of α, you need an element of α and a proof that it satisfies the predicate, 4
and le_refl 4
in the example below.
def x : {n : ℕ // 4 ≤ n} := ⟨4, le_refl 4⟩
example : ↑x + 6 = 10 := rfl
Any set can be used where a type is expected, in which case the set will be coerced into the corresponding subtype.
def S : set ℕ := {n : ℕ | 4 ≤ n}
example : ∀ n : S, 4 ≤ (n : ℕ) := λ ⟨n, hn⟩, hn
It is useful to use a subtype rather than a set when you need to define functions on subtypes, or when using the cardinal of a subtype.
data.fintype.basic
#fintype α
means that a type α is finite. It is constructed from a finset containing all elements of a type.
class fintype (α : Type*) :=
(elems : finset α)
(complete : ∀ x : α, x ∈ elems)
fintype α
is not a proposition, because it contains data, however it is a subsingleton, meaning that any two elements of type fintype α
are equal.
finset.univ
is the finset containing all elements of a type, given a fintype α
instance.
data.set.finite
#The definition of a finite set, distinct from a finset is
def finite (s : set α) : Prop := nonempty (fintype s)
This means when the set is coerced into a subtype, the type fintype s
is nonempty.
Using classical.choice
, you can produce an object of type fintype s
from a proof of finite s
. There is a function set.finite.to_finset
which produces a finset from a finite set.
There are three functions finset.card
, fintype.card
and multiset.card
, which refer to the sizes of finsets, multisets and finite types. For finite cardinals of sets, fintype.card
can be used, given a proof that the set is finite.
example : ∀ n : ℕ, fintype.card (fin n) = n := fintype.card_fin
example : ∀ n : ℕ, finset.card (finset.range n) = n := finset.card_range
Here, fin n
is the type of naturals less than n, and finset.range n
is the finset of naturals less than n.
set_theory.cardinal
contains theory on infinite cardinals

“If you care about what you are doing, the prospect of being judged is upsetting and distressing and disturbing...” - Dr. Steele
I've been there. I've been in a conference room, filled with men, and realized that 1) I was the only woman, 2) I was wearing a dress, and 3) I was seated in the only chair that didn't have a high back. When it was my turn to give a status update on my projects, I fumbled with my words and did not speak with confidence. I knew, that because I was a woman, I probably shouldn't assert myself too strongly and that anything that I did or said would just amplify any ideas that they had of me just based on the fact that I am a woman. Unfairly, I considered myself a representative of all woman kind during this short, pretty insignificant meeting. That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself. And when it was my turn to perform, I fell flat on my face.
According to Dr. Claude Steele, this is called "stereotype threat." Assuming that others will judge you based on your appearance, race, gender or age takes focus away from cognitive resources and undermines performance. Dr. Steele showed this in various studies, including one where students took a section of the GRE and minorities performed extremely less impressively when told that it would measure their intelligence, rather than told that it couldn't measure intelligence.
To change my reaction, the only thing that I have been able to do is to empower myself through preparation before networking events and work meetings. I joined groups of women in tech and online communities where women build each other up. Having constant reminders of how capable women are gives me strength to be who I am when facing my male counterparts. Over time, I've been able to approach men of many levels and fight through my fears of being perceived as less than who I am. I have made a fool of myself on occasion, but I've brushed it off and pushed forward. I share my stories with fellow women and keep working toward a day when I will no longer think about whether I'm entering a mixed room.

Unknown-anonymous party “Moss activists” are working on the promotion
of green mosses always overlooked on the street,
calling for not-so-radical-individuals who are able to appeal
the preciousness and efficiency of mosses to gather up.
Fictional campaign to indicate one out of many ways to tackle global warming.
They believe in mosses; so far too tiny and mundane to realise the functions of them to photosynthesis as well as aesthetics.
Hoping their intentions and activities subtly urge us to step forward.
Despite the fact almost all narratives are expressed through the website i.e. pixelated reality,
the pathway to there exist in our atmosphere i.e. physical reality.

BABE: PIG IN THE CITY A film review by Mark R. Leeper
Capsule: The second BABE film is more creative than the first, but it is also darker in tone. We are back in the world where animals talk to each other, but never to humans. Babe is taken to the big city in an attempt to save Hoggett farm. But Babe gets separated and has adventures with a whole menagerie of animals. The art direction of this film is almost as big a feature as the animal animatronics, but it may be confusing for younger children. Still, parents will find that they will have to go a long way to find a film so enjoyable both adults and for children. Rating: 6 (0 to 10), high +1 (-4 to +4). A minor spoiler follows the review.
The second Babe film, BABE: PIG IN THE CITY, had plenty of room to repeat what was good about the 1995 BABE. Co-writer and director George Miller really did not need to change the film's approach. But Miller was not content to rest on his laurels. The sequel is quite a different film and gives the audience much that is new and quite different to enjoy. Is it as good as the first film? To my mind it is not quite as good. The story is a little less a coherent story and the big climax of the film is more slapstick and less subtle excitement. Like BABE this is family entertainment, but I think it offers a little less for the children and perhaps a little less for the adults also. The tone is definitely darker and more disturbing. But like BABE, BABE: PIG IN THE CITY is probably the best family film of its year. And it is one of the rare family films that may well be better appreciated by adults than by children.
The Hoggett Farm is certainly having its ups and it downs. After a series of adventures related in the first film Babe has won international fame as the pig who is a sheep dog. Things are going well until Farmer Hoggett is disabled in a freak accident. (Note: the scenario of this accident was a joke told as early as the Fred Allen radio program in the 1940s and has appeared other places since. It may even be older than that. But to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time anybody filmed this strange sequence of events.) With Mr. Hoggett unable to care for his farm it falls on hard times and the bank is ready and anxious to make the times even harder. Mrs. Hoggett takes the famous pig to display him at a fair.  Babe finds himself the new animal in a house full of animals with dubious human supervision. Among the animals Babe meets is a Damon-Runyan-esque pit bull, a family of chimpanzees, and a taciturn orangutan.
The film is told in the same style as the first Babe film but differently. Again the story is divided in chapters whose titles are read to us by the trio of singing mice. The Classical and popular music is back including the theme from Saint-Saens's Third Symphony. Miller has managed to get the same cast back, though James Cromwell has a much more limited role as Farmer Hoggett and Magda Szubanski has a much larger role this time continuing as Mrs. Hoggett. Again the comedy is genuinely funny and sometimes very funny. The acting and voicing seems to have all the same people in the same roles. The major characters are all present, even if their roles are much foreshortened. And as with the first film, the animals are frequently three- dimensional characters with interesting personalities. But the city Babe visits is not so much a city as a Disneyland-modified city- concentrate. It seems like a Frankensteinian grafting together of many of the great cities of the world. Looking out a window, Babe sees landmarks of cities all over the world. The interior of the city is an expressionist wonderworld looking like something out of Disneyland. While the first film had some physical comedy, this new film has a long slapstick sequence that seems out of character for the person involved.
This is more expensive and a cut below its predecessor, but it still is a good outing for the whole family. I give this film a 6 on the 0 to 10 scale and a high +1 on the -4 to +4 scale.
Spoiler... Spoiler... Spoiler... Spoiler... Spoiler... Spoiler...
Like ANIMAL FARM, BABE: PIG IN THE CITY may have many allegorical meanings and perhaps even religious overtones. Babe wins over his enemies with kindness and feeds his flock, but then allows an enforcer to stand over feeding and no animal is allowed to partake of the food without thanking Babe, under apparent threat of violence. What begins looking like an allegorical Christ turns into more a Huey Long allegory.

The Glass House (2001) Reviewed by Eugene Novikov http://www.ultimate-movie.com/
"Even the guardians let down their guard."
Starring Leelee Sobieski, Diane Lane, Stellan Skarsgard, Bruce Dern. Directed by Daniel Sackheim. Rated PG-13.
 Its plot is too obvious to provide any real what-happens-next suspense, but there are still moments here to treasure. And, if after seeing her in some seven movies, I still say that lead actress Leelee Sobieski "shows promise," it's because she hasn't been given a real role yet (no, Here on Earth doesn't count, and I haven't seen her in the title role of the tv movie Joan of Arc).
Here she plays Ruby Baker, a relatively average teenager who goes to school, smokes up and has wild nights out with her friends unbeknownst to her parents. When said parents are killed in a car accident, Ruby and her younger brother have to move in with the Glasses, a rich couple with an amazing house in Malibu and seemingly unlimited funds at their disposal.
But in this house, as the film's advertising didn't fail to tell us a thousand times, things are not as they seem. It soon becomes obvious to everyone but the main character that the Glasses, well-played by Diane Lane and Stellan Skarsgard, plan to use Ruby and her brother as their "personal piggy-bank," using the money left to them in their parents' will, as well as incidentals like their private school tuition, to pay off their enormous debts.
The Glass House really doesn't come together as well as it could have, what with the lapses in logic and virtual lack of tension outside of neat individual moments. But the movie is well-photographed by tv-veteran director Daniel Sackheim, and it has a marvelous production design: the house itself, with its imposing architecture and, appropriately, glass walls, has its own menace aside from that of its shady occupants.
I also liked the back-and-forth between Ruby and her brother, a series of authentic exchanges that is a welcome respite from the contrived trappings of the thriller's main storyline. Sobieski, true to form, manages to build a character from a screenplay that doesn't give her one; I'd still like to see her pull a Thora Birch and do something unconventional. If she can do this much with a script that actually exhibits below-average level of writing, he sky's the limit. And comedy remains an entirely unexplored field.
Diane Lane has slipped under Hollywood's collective radar -- I don't think I've ever actually seen her name in print outside of the obligatory "starring" blurb -- but she is a dependable actress, skilled at portraying seemingly everyday characters with something else under the surface. And you almost feel sorry for Stellan Skarsgard, a pure character actor who doesn't seem to be having a good time; this script is a deathtrap.
A better film could have been made from this material. I could have used more careful plotting and less of the characters having to catch up to us. I'm recommending The Glass House, though, because there's something inherently appealing about its plot (it's hard to completely screw up an orphan-makes-good tale); perhaps also because I watched it right after The Musketeer, which momentarily destroyed my faith in cinema.

{{ featured.excerpt }}


Countless films have been made involving triumphs of the physically handicapped or the parents of handicapped children in accepting their kids. This well made German film turned it the other way round, chronicling the tale of one with handicapped parents and the complications involved, or rather, to show how uncomplicated some things can be when there's understanding, patience and determination.
Lara, a sensible but headstrong girl grew up under the guidance of her deaf-mute parents. Dysfunctional it may sounds but she had a fulfilling family life even if one of her tasks is translating the dialogues of romantic movies to sign language for her mother. Being the only ears and voice of the family, she easily took advantage of her ability much to the disapproval of her equally stubborn father. Their tension started building when Lara started learning the clarinet and ultimately excelled in it. Without the ability to appreciate music, there's difficulty for her parents to understand her dream and share her success.
Primarily, it is very much a movie exploring the father-daughter relationship with sibling rivalry in the sideline. The "language barrier" just invoke various complications which made the resolving of tensions more difficult. Instead of letting coincidences be the solution, we get to witness the struggles the characters went through to understand and forgive one another.
Somehow, the ending do came across a little abrupt as it ended just after the father took his first step in understanding his daughter. I just felt that it would more satisfying to affirm his sincerity. Then again, knowing how stubborn that father was, it must have taken him a lot of effort to do that. Taking that first step was indeed very significant and may be all we ever need to know.
Caroline Link's painstaking research paid off as she manage to paint a more or less accurate picture of the deaf-mute community. Their sometimes extraordinary method of doing things does not make them less human than us, a message gently and effectively put across. More painstaking would be the making of the movie as the main players were required to learn the German sign language. There was also some communication problems since some of the main cast were deaf-mute by nature, like the pair playing the parents.
In spite of all that, they still managed to deliver a powerful and heartfelt piece of drama with quite some occasional and timely humour, winning worldwide accolades from both the audiences and critics.

I am a 25 year-old software engineer, currently living in Porto, Portugal.
I have strong skills in programming and databases development as well as an academic background in computer science with an emphasis in data warehousing and data mining.
I am easy-going, hardworking, a strong analytical thinker and a good team player.
In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, watching movies and TV shows, and I am always eager to learn something new.
Kaymu is "the #1 marketplace in emerging countries", where anyone can buy or sell their products.
As part of the Business Intelligence team, my job was to deliver high quality solutions and business data to teams spanning 30+ countries.
My tasks were related to data integration from the several websites and external data providers and data flow management, developing and orquestrating ETL processes.
I also had to develop some new solutions on top of the current data warehouse, and transition the existing architecture from an open-source stack to the Microsoft BI stack.

Developed as part of my master thesis, TweeProfiles2 is a tool that uses a machine learning (stream-clustering ) algorithm that consumes Twitter data (tweets) and generates natural aggregations of tweets (clusters) or "tweet profiles" based on their content (text-mining), location (GPS coordinates), time (timestamp of creation) and social graph (analysis of the social graph of the tweet creator).
My work was to build upon the work done in TweeProfiles, and changing it's algorithm to be able to consume streams of data (instead of static datasets); I also developed a visualization tool to be able to better analyse the results achieved.

Sometimes your python code crashes or runs into a deadlock. For this the Python Extension for GDB 7 are very handy. On one mainstream Linux distribution this was automatically available when the devel/debug package for python was installed. But this extension has certain limitations, and one that I found quite important was the ability to print individual fields of objects. The "py-print" command truncates it's output so for a relatively complex object you can't really see the member attributes.
After looking at the source for this extension I saw it would be relatively easy to fix this. I wrote another command that actually goes through the object's dictionary and prints out the requested field only. Here's the gist:

Main content area
The main content area is where the magic happens. Right now, the main content is on the left and the sidebar is on the right. If you go into the markup for this document and add dir="rtl"
to the html
element, the two elements will swap spaces because CSS Grid honors text direction.

Summary
_n.ConstantExtractors can be used to generate C# and JS constants files describing the structure of Dataverse tables and columns.
It can be really useful to simplify work with late bound entities: usage of constants prevents indiscriminated distribution of "magic strings" or "magic numbers" within the code.
Kudos to Gianluca Tocco for the core engine!
Given a specific solution, the tool generates:
- A constants file for each Table contained in that solution
- An EntityGenericConstants file, containing the base class for each table constants class
- A GlobalOptionSetConstants file containing an enum for each global option set available in the environment
- A GlobalBooleanConstants file containing an enum for each global boolean option set available in the environment
Using the Settings view, you can specify
- The solution containing the entities put in output
- If you want to generate C# constants or not
- The namespace to be used for the C# constants classes
- The path of the output folder that will contain the generated C# constant classes
- If you want to generate JS constants or not
- The namespace to be used for the JS constants objects
- Optional header lines to be included in the JS constants objects files
- The path of the output folder that will contain the generated JS constant object files
- Whether or not to add the column type in the comments of the generated classes/object property comments
- Whether or not to add the column description in the comments of the generated classes/object property comments
Please note: the tool doesn't prunes the output folder. Removed table classes/objects will remain and they need to be removed manually.

Sinologist: Knowing all about Chinese Language and Culture.
In 2010 I started the Sinology bachelor at the Leiden University. Here I learned all about writing, speaking, understanding and reading the Chinese language. I also learned much about the immensive Chinese culture. During my bachelor I spent one year abroad, in Taiwan, on a scholarship. Here I really experienced what the Chinese culture entailed. After my bachelors I continued with a master East-Asian studies, where I learned somewhat broader about other countries in East and South-East Asia.
Teacher: Teaching Chinese Language and Culture.
After studying Chinese I decided that I would want to be a teacher. So I enrolled for the Educational Master, again at Leiden University. Here I not only learned how to be a great teacher, but also learned more about adolescent identity and pedagogy, as well as about course didactics. As part of my studies I did an internship at the Rijnlands Lyceum Wassenaar, a secondary school, where I taught Chinese to both junior and senior classes with great enjoyment.
Programmer: Learning how to program and code.
I recently started the intensive course "Full-Stack Development with JavaScript" with the B. Startup School Amsterdam (BSSA) and the New York Code + Design Academy (NYCDA). Here I learn in a short three months how to program and code. Only doing this for about a week now, I feel like I have been doing it for months and I very much enjoy the course.
I obtained these degrees:
Master Degree in Teaching Chinese Language and Culture at Leiden University
Master Degree in East-Asian Studies at Leiden University
Bachelor Degree in Chinastudies at Leiden University
I wrote the following theses for my studies:
"'Oefening baart kunst!' Hoe verhoog je de motivatie van leerlingen om meer Chinees in de klas te spreken?"
"Online game addiction among youth in China: How do different stakeholders look at online game addiction among Chinese youth?"
"Homosexuality in Chinese Cinemas: How is homosexuality portrayed in the Chinese-language films Lan Yu and Ci Qing"

The man who learn Responsive Web Design
Here's a time line of Courses:
- Basic HTML and HTML5 HTML is a markup language that uses a special syntax or notationto describe the structure of a webpage to the browser. HTML elements usually have opening and closing tags that surround and give meaning to content. For example, different elements can describe text as a heading, paragraph, or list item.
-
Basic CSS - CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, tell the browser how to display the text and other content that you write in HTML. With CSS, you can control the color, font, size, spacing, and many other aspects of HTML elements.
Now that you've described the structure of your cat photo app, give it some style with CSS. -
Applied Visual Design - Visual design is a combination of typography, color theory, graphics, animation, page layout, and more to help deliver your unique message.
In this course, you'll learn how to apply these different elements of visual design to your webpages. -
Applied Accessibility - In web development, accessibility refers to web content and a UI (user interface) that can be understood, navigated, and interacted with by a broad audience. This includes people with visual, auditory,mobility, or cognitive disabilities.
In this course, you'll learn best practices for building webpages that are accessible to everyone. -
Responsive Web Design Principles - There are many devices that can access the web, and they come in all shapes and sizes. Responsive web design is the practice of designing flexible websites that can respond to different screen sizes, orientations, and resolutions.
In this course, you'll learn how to use CSS to make your webpages look good, no matter what device they're viewed on. -
CSS Flexbox - Flexbox is a powerful, well-supported layout method that was introduced with the latest version of CSS, CSS3. With flexbox, it's easy to center elements on the page and create dynamic user interfaces that shrink and expand automatically.
In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of flexbox and dynamic layouts by building a Twitter card. -
CSS Grid - The CSS grid is a newer standard that makes it easy to build complex responsive layouts. It works by turning an HTML element into a grid, and lets you place child elements anywhere within.
In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of CSS grid by building different complex layouts, including a blog. -
Responsive Web Design Projects - Time to put your newly learnt skills to work. By working on these projects, you will get a chance to apply all of the skills, principles, and concepts you have learned so far: HTML, CSS, Visual Design, Accessibility, and more.

This dialog allows you to change the font, its style, size etc for the active window. It is invoked with the Font command.
Font
Type the name of a font or select a font from the list of available fonts. You can choose any font but for HexEdit Pro a non-proportional or monospaced font (where all characters are the same width) works best. Unfortunately most fonts are proportional fonts, but Courier, Courier New, Fixedsys, Terminal, and any console font (like Lucida Console) are monospaced.
Note that there are two current fonts: normally an ANSI font is used, but if you are displaying the IBM/OEM character set an IBM/OEM font must be used. If the active file is displaying IBM/OEM character set then you are selecting the current IBM/OEM font and you only see IBM/OEM fonts in the font list, otherwise you are selecting the current ANSI font.
A quick way to change the font is to use the Font_tool.
Font style
Type the name of a style or select from the list of styles supported by the current font. Most fonts support the regular style plus bold and italic. Other styles such as light, heavy etc are possible.
Size
Type a point size or select one from the list. Truetype fonts are scalable to any size; for other fonts only use values that are displayed in the list of available sizes.
A quick way to change the font size is to use the Toolbar buttons for the Increase Font Size command and the Decrease Font Size command or use the Font Size tool.
Script
Lists the available language scripts for the specified font. Pick the one appropriate for the language your computer is set up for.


Don Retzlaff, Principal Lecturer,
Department of Computer Sciences,
University of North Texas, Denton, Texas
http://www.cse.unt.edu/~donr<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>Keywords: multi-dimensional/n-dimensional arrays, C, C++, dynamically allocated arrays
Text copyright © 1996, 2011 Donald Alan Retzlaff
Code can be reproduced with proper credit given to the author
Most applications utilize one dimensional arrays. A few manage two-dimensional matrices. Fewer still manipulate three-dimensional arrays. And on a very rare occasion, an average C programmer comes across the need for a four dimensional array (truthfully, I've been doing this programming thing for over twenty years and I've yet to have a practical need for one — I'm still waiting). Well, waiting I am, and I'm ready for them. Not only am I ready for four-dimensional arrays, but five-, six-, and beyond, courtesy of the following routine. And they'll even be run-time dynamically-allocated multi-dimensional arrays.
Most languages treat arrays as static data structures; that is, their size and dimensions are fixed at compile time. C and C++ provide a simple mechanism and notation to create dynamic arrays — ones that can not only be sized at run-time, but resized as well. Manipulating dynamic multi-dimensional arrays, however, even in C, requires additional work and expertise on the part of the programmer. The programmer must calculate the correct element offset from the beginning of the array in order to reference the data properly.
The formula for determining the index offset for a two-dimensional array is well defined and known by many programmers. The formula:
row * number_of_columns + col
can easily be included in an algorithm to calculate the element offset for a two-dimensional array, including one that is dynamically allocated at run-time.
When you start to get into three-dimensional arrays and beyond, however, the proper manipulation of indices and their offsets from the beginning address of an array gets a little foggy for most programmers (including me).
The purpose of the following function is to allow the programmer a means of referencing a multi-dimensional array using indices (rows, columns, etc), without necessarily having to define the actual size of the array at compile time.
Note that even though C only passes the address of an array to a function, all dimensions of the array parameter (except for the number of rows) still have to be defined at compile time in order to refer to the array inside the function using index notation. For example (note the 5 for the number of columns):
void test_function (int arrayIn[][5], int numRows);
The following function provides a means of still referencing an array parameter using index-like notation even though the size (and even the number of dimensions!) isn't known until the function is invoked.
The function offset()
is designed to calculate the proper
offset location
of a specified index location, based on information passed to it about
the array; specifically, the number of dimensions, the number of elements
in each dimension, and the index location of the actual element needed.
It is written in a general way so it can handle any sized multi-dimensional
array, dynamically or statically allocated. To simplify its use even
further, a wrapper for the function can be provided to hide some of the
gory details of the non-varying parameters for a specific array.
offset()
The function offset()
employs the variable parameter passing
techniques supported by C and its <stdarg.h> library of macros and
functions.
The first parameter is a pointer to an array of integers. The first value in this array (index[0]) indicates the number of dimensions that are in the array to be processed. The other elements in the array indicate the number of elements in each of the dimensions indicated in the 0th element. For example, to indicate a four dimensional array that has 2 rows, 3 columns, 4 levels, and 5 files, the array could be defined as follows:
int arrayInfo[] = { 4, 2,3,4,5 };
The subsequent parameters to offset()
consist of the indices
of the actual element needed. For example, to reference element
[1][2][1][3]
in the array, the second through fifth parameters
passed to offset()
would be 1, 2, 1, and 3, respectively.
A complete call to the function for this element position would be:
offset (arrayInfo,1,2,1,3)
The function returns a long integer that indicates the typeless distance
from a 0 initial address. It is the programmer's responsibility to add
this value to the address of the array. This process can be simplified
by using a wrapper around offset()
.
Several additional examples are shown below in the main()
function that demonstrate the use of offset()
.
offset()
function WrappersReferencing the offset()
function directly is still a little
cumbersome and not very intuitive in certain code situations. A better interface
would be one that provides a simulated indexing notation, like a normal
reference to a multi-dimensional array. A simple wrapper, through the
use of a #define
statement, can be used to hide the details of using
offset()
and performing the address calculation to access the actual
element in the array. A separate wrapper would need to be defined for
each array that is to use offset()
.
Samples of these wrappers for two-, three-, four-, and five-dimensional arrays, as well as a dynamic three-dimensional array, are shown in the example program below.
Minimum error checking is included in the offset()
function
in its present form. It is the programmer's responsibility to define the
informational array for the first parameter, as well as pass the proper number
of parameters based on the information supplied in the information array.
Through a simple assert()
call, offset()
will
verify that the parameter indices are legally within the array bounds (upper
bounds only... I assume C programmers know they can't have negative indices).
I wish to thank Denis Conrady and Sean Wheeler for their initial discussions with me concerning the concepts of what I was trying to accomplish with this function. I also would like to thank my wife Lisa for deriving the actual formula that I ultimately translated into code.


Question
Given stock price of Amazon for some consecutive days. Need to find the maximum span of each day’s stock price.
Definition of ‘span’ have got 2 variant:
Variant 1
Span is the number of consecutive days right before that day, which have less or equal stock value.
(Or in GFG language): The span Si of the stock’s price on a given day i is defined as the maximum number of consecutive days just before the given day, for which the price of the stock on the current day is less than or equal to its price on the given day.
Solution
Use stack.
Variant 2
Span is the amount of days before the given day where the stock price is less than that of given day.
Solution
The top answer in here is wrong. Eg. {1,3,2,4}, the count for 4 would be 2, instead of 3.
Instead, the BST (AVL tree) solution is correct. It’s commented by user zahidbuet106.
insert numbers in a AVL tree one by one from right to left. During each insert we will keep updating the size of left subtree at the node being inserted. This will give us our desired smaller element count.
We also need to handle balancing the tree while insert.
The key of this question is the special BST, where each node stores an additional counting number.
This type of special BST is extremely frequntly used in Computer Science, especially when we want to dynamically insert elements and find out it’s ranking within the past history.

"The Contender"
The Vice President of the United States is dead and President Jackson Evans (Jeff Bridges) is being pressed from all sides to replace the deceased politico. Governor Jack Hathaway (William Petersen) seems like a shoe-in for the nations number two spot, especially after he performs a heroic rescue attempt while on a fishing holiday. But, the president has different plans and unceremoniously rejects Hathaway in favor of Senator Laine Billings Hanson (Joan Allen), who could be the first female vice president, ever, in "The Contender."
Writer/director Rod Lurie takes on a subject that is reminiscent of the political films of the 60's, especially Otto Preminger's "Advise and Consent." The older film also dealt with a political appointment to a powerful government post - Henry Fonda vying for the Secretary of State, then, versus Joan Allen shooting for the VP slot now. The 1962 film was made at the height of the Red Scare, so the plot revolved around the political morality of right against left, with a strong, almost preachy, moral message. "The Contender" brings us into the new millennium with a very different kind of political tale, but with a hint of the ethics of a bygone era.
Lurie's screenplay cuts right to the chase from the start. Governor Hathaway's vain but brave attempt to save a young woman from drowning makes him appear to be the perfect nominee for VP. He's surprised, even shocked, when White House Chief of Staff Kermit Newman declares that the rescue effort would be compared, by the public, to Ted Kennedy and Chappaquidic. The president thanks him, declares the governor "the future of the party," and nearly boots him out of the Oval Office. Evans says, "I need a VP" and demands that Laine Hanson get the nomination.
A woman vice president is a hard pill to swallow for those - men - in power. Newman questions his boss's stubbornly held decision to back Hanson. Even more formidable, senior Congressman Sheldon Runyon (Gary Oldman), who heads the committee tasked to investigate the nominee, has his own agenda. Shelly knows, in his heart, that Hanson is not the right person for the job that is a heartbeat away from the presidency. He is joined by a freshman congressman, Reginald Webster (Christian Slater), who is looking to make the right connections and sees the senior politician as his means to an end. The search for the dirt that will bury Laine's chances for VP begins in earnest.
Runyon's investigation of Hanson's past uncovers some sordid evidence from her college days. The photos that come to the surface show a young woman who looks like Laine performing sex with two men. Even as the photos are entered into the official records of the committee hearing, they are leaked onto the Internet in an effort to gain public opposition to Hanson's appointment. Sen. Hanson refuses to even bother denying the accusations as they are beneath her dignity. As the committee continues its inquisition of Hanson, Runyon tries to build upon his accusation of sexual deviance by introducing questions about Laine's positions on birth control, adultery, abortion and switching political parties. Hanson maintains her unshakable dignity throughout as the political intrigues build around her.
It's not just hearings and smutty pictures, though, as Lurie builds his characters into complex people. Good and bad are not simple concepts and there is complexity in the minds and hearts of the characters. Actually, the talented cast puts flesh on the bones of his characters, giving each a nuance that make them unique individual. This is not a film that draws its images and people in black and white.
Joan Allen, for the first time in all of her respectable career, is the center of attention in "The Contender" and she proves her capability as a first rate actor quite able to control the center stage. Even though there is "proof" of her sexual indiscretions, Laine maintains her stand on her record, not on denying some foggy accusations. Allen gives her role the dignity that befits the honest senator. You know she knows that she has what it takes to do the job, she just has to get past the sordid side of politics to get that job. Allen is forceful and dynamic in her performance as a woman who grew up in politics (her father, played by Philip Baker Hall, is a highly respected ex-governor) and gained her own respect in the Senate. If anyone is going to break in to the male dominated Executive Branch, Laine Hanson is the one to do it. There aren't many "best actress" perfs so far this year. Allen's is one of them.
Allen's fine performance is supplemented by some terrifically effective supporting characters. Jeff Bridges is a wonderful enigma as the president. Jackson Evans is in the waning years of his successful, two-term presidency and is comfortable as can be in his position as world leader. Bridges gives a relaxed, confident performance and comes across as very presidential, indeed. Evans is in charge of a smooth running government machine and has the best running it. The president can even partake in a bit of frivolity as he has a ongoing challenge to try and stump the White House chef by asking for shark steak sandwiches or walnut pudding with nary a moment's notice. Bridges also gives a touch of elegance to the role, especially when decked out in his splendid custom wardrobe, which I'll get to later.
Gary Oldman, whom I think is one of the great character actors alive today, is simply superb as the outwardly slimy Sheldon Runyon. The powerful congressman comes across as unscrupulous in his diligent attacks on Sen. Hanson. But, Oldman gives Shelly a level of complexity that makes you understand his motivations. He is not a bad man and his opposition of the nomination is based on firmly held political convictions. He believes, as he puts it, "this nomination is the cancer of affirmative action" and this is his motivation in opposing the president's wishes.
Sam Elliot is executive office material as the president's chief of staff. He is the Greek chorus in the White House and openly opposes his boss on his selection for VP. But, he is loyal above all and, when the die is cast, he stands firmly behind President Evans. Christian Slater has a small, pivotal role as the frosh rep Webster. When we meet the ambitious young man, he aligns himself with Runyon, looking only for political advancement. As the truth, and Laine's integrity, comes to the surface, Webster changes and grows to support the President. It's a nice touch showing a newly elected politician learning the importance of personal honor.
The first rate production shows artistic imagination. Costuming by Matthew Jacobsen provides the right tailoring for the president and gives Allen an elegant look in business suits and evening gowns. Production designer Alexander Hammond does a beautiful job in recreating the Oval Office and the floor of Congress. Denis Maloney's crisp lensing adds another plus to the proceedings.
One problem, kind of a big one, with the script is an important development concerning Governor Hathaway. I won't give it away, but suspension of disbelief is required of us to accept an out-of-nowhere plot twist. It detracts from the overall quality of the story. Nonetheless, "The Contender" is a solid political thriller with old-fashioned concepts packaged in a slick, well-made container. I give it a B+.

Podkova is the Russian word for Horseshoe, and this is a monoline slab serif with diagonal terminals. The wide proportions and clean features aid legibility at small sizes, while the unusual letterforms provide enough character to be useful for display typography too.
Initially designed by Ilya Yudin in 2010, it was carefully refined and expanded by Alexei Vanyashin into a wider range of weights (that made the bold style a little lighter) in January 2017. In September 2019, the family is now a variable font.
