Witcher Cosplayer Turns Geralt Into A Firefighter, Football Player And Rock Star
by Luke PlunkettHaving released one a few years back, Witcher cosplayer extraordinaire Maul has decided to do another one, only this time he’s imagining Geralt jumping through The Witcher 3's portals and ending up in more Earthly forms of employment.
And so we have Geralt, no longer a Witcher, but a firefighter:
And a rock star:
A businessman:
And a football player:
He’s also a cop, a Cyberpunk character, a farmer, a greaser and, in January, what appears to be Michael Fahey.
All photos have been taken by the always-excellent eosAndy, and the calendar is available now from Maul’s website.

The xsl:text
element causes its content to be output.
The main reasons for enclosing text within an xsl:text
element is
to allow white space to be output.
White space nodes in the stylesheet are ignored unless they appear immediately within
an xsl:text
element.
The optional disable-output-escaping
attribute may be set to "yes" or "no"; the default is
"no". If set to "yes", special characters such as "<" and "&" will be output as themselves,
not as entities. Be aware that in general this can produce non-well-formed XML or HTML. It is useful,
however, when generating things such as ASP or JSP pages. Escaping may not be disabled when writing
to a result tree fragment.
Saxon 7.4 has reverted to the XSLT 1.0 specification of xsl:text
: the instruction

Kidnapped and robbed... 10 things about late former PSOJ boss, Beverly Lopez
Kidnapped and robbed in November 2000, the late Beverly Lopez was one of the foremost campaigners for a robust and unified private sector.
Lopez died at home this morning.
READ: Former PSOJ president Beverly Lopez has died
She was president of the Jamaica Exporters’ Association when she was lured to the Hilton Hotel in New Kingston by a man with a British accent, who claimed to be a journalist wanting to interview her.
When Lopez arrived at the hotel, she was overpowered by the man and a female accomplice, who drugged and robbed her, tried to extort money from her and left her tied up.
Lopez was one of a number of persons similarly attacked, in what was later unearthed as a scam involving a team of individuals. Lopez’s male abductor was later caught, prosecuted and imprisoned.
As president of the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica, in 2005, she led the resounding call for politicians to publicly sever ties with criminal associates, and dismantle their garrisons, delivering a three-week ultimatum to political representatives to renounce their connections with gunmen and other lawbreakers, or face the possibility of being voted out of office.
Here are 10 facts about Beverley Lopez:
1. Was born in St James to a family which owned a grocery store in the parish capital, Montego Bay
2. Formal schooling for Lopez ended after her upper sixth form year at Alpha Academy in Kingston
3. Entered the job market in 1961 as a keypunch operator at Ariguanabo Textile factory in Spanish Town.
4. Was married to Anthony Lopez
5. Assumed the roles of purchasing manager, commercial manager, and general sales manager during her decade long tenure at Desnoes and Geddes (D&G)
6. Became managing director of her own company, Kingston Hub Distributors in 1990
7. Former local franchise owner of Taco Bell
8. Former president of the Jamaica Exporters’ Association.
9. Awarded Commander of the Order of Distinction in 2002 for her contribution to the development of the export sector
10. Awarded the Order of Jamaica in 2006 for her leadership in the private sector.

2 DAYS IN THE VALLEY A film review by Serdar Yegulalp Copyright 1997 Serdar Yegulalp
CAPSULE: "Quirky" sums up this neat little movie about a gallery of disparate characters whose lives collide over the course of 48 hours in Los Angeles. The proper meaning of "Tarantino-esque".
If you tried to map out the coincidences that took place in your real life, you'd have material which would strain the plausibility of most mystery-readers. 2 DAYS IN THE VALLEY contains one insane coincidence after another, but that's okay, for two reasons. One, it contains a wealth of intriguing and intelligently-written characters, and two, it's *about* coincidences as much as it *contains* coincidences. It's "Tarantino-esque" in the right sense of the word: it extends on the kinds of things Quentin Tarantino introduced into a movie without becoming redundant or insulting.
Without spoiling anything, let me try to list as many of the people as possible in this movie, as well as how they start off. We have an estranged husband and wife, who have two hitmen walk in on them. We have an art dealer and his secretary, who are later taken hostage at gunpoint by one of the hitmen -- who really, REALLY hates dogs. We have the other hitman's icy Nordic girlfriend, who has a way of being able to tell you you're screwed simply by smiling at you. We have two vice cops who stumble into a murder scene and get a lot more than they bargained for. We have a washed-up, suicidal television director and the nurse he meets in a cemetary when he tries to give her his... yes, his dog. And even *there* I think I've missed a few.
The movie works by subtly defeating our expectations about what movies normally do. In one scene, we switch from one conversation to another in mid-sentence -- without even the rhythm of the shots changing. Slowly the threads of the movie converge -- in a way that only makes sense at the end, and even then it's completely off the wall -- but by that time the movie has declared its territory: it's about characters, not plots.
This movie grows on you. I thought it would be too self-consciously arty for my taste. It comes on more like a good friend whom you suddenly discover has a thing for sleight-of-hand and card tricks, and surprises you in more ways than you might think.
Three out of four... dogs. (Heh, heh.)

GETNAMEINFO
Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (3)
Updated: 2014-05-28
Index
Return to Main Contents
NAME
getnameinfo - address-to-name translation in protocol-independent manner
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netdb.h>
int getnameinfo(const struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t salen,
char *host, socklen_t hostlen,
char *serv, socklen_t servlen, int flags);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
getnameinfo():
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The
getnameinfo()
function is the inverse of
getaddrinfo(3):
it converts a socket address to a corresponding host and service,
in a protocol-independent manner.
It combines the functionality of
gethostbyaddr(3)
and
getservbyport(3),
but unlike those functions,
getnameinfo()
is reentrant and allows programs to eliminate
IPv4-versus-IPv6 dependencies.
The
sa
argument is a pointer to a generic socket address structure
(of type
sockaddr_in
or
sockaddr_in6)
of size
salen
that holds the input IP address and port number.
The arguments
host
and
serv
are pointers to caller-allocated buffers (of size
hostlen
and
servlen
respectively) into which
getnameinfo()
places null-terminated strings containing the host and
service names respectively.
The caller can specify that no hostname (or no service name)
is required by providing a NULL
host
(or
serv)
argument or a zero
hostlen
(or
servlen)
argument.
However, at least one of hostname or service name
must be requested.
The
flags
argument modifies the behavior of
getnameinfo()
as follows:
- NI_NAMEREQD
-
If set, then an error is returned if the hostname cannot be determined.
- NI_DGRAM
-
If set, then the service is datagram (UDP) based rather than
stream (TCP) based.
This is required for the few ports (512-514)
that have different services for UDP and TCP.
- NI_NOFQDN
-
If set, return only the hostname part of the fully qualified domain name
for local hosts.
- NI_NUMERICHOST
-
If set, then the numeric form of the hostname is returned.
(When not set, this will still happen in case the node's name
cannot be determined.)
- NI_NUMERICSERV
-
If set, then the numeric form of the service address is returned.
(When not set, this will still happen in case the service's name
cannot be determined.)
Extensions to getnameinfo() for Internationalized Domain Names
Starting with glibc 2.3.4,
getnameinfo()
has been extended to selectively allow
hostnames to be transparently converted to and from the
Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) format (see RFC 3490,
Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA)).
Three new flags are defined:
- NI_IDN
-
If this flag is used, then the name found in the lookup process is
converted from IDN format to the locale's encoding if necessary.
ASCII-only names are not affected by the conversion, which
makes this flag usable in existing programs and environments.
- NI_IDN_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED, NI_IDN_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES
-
Setting these flags will enable the
IDNA_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED (allow unassigned Unicode code points) and
IDNA_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES (check output to make sure it is a STD3
conforming hostname)
flags respectively to be used in the IDNA handling.
RETURN VALUE
On success 0 is returned, and node and service names, if requested,
are filled with null-terminated strings, possibly truncated to fit
the specified buffer lengths.
On error, one of the following nonzero error codes is returned:
- EAI_AGAIN
-
The name could not be resolved at this time.
Try again later.
- EAI_BADFLAGS
-
The
flags
argument has an invalid value.
- EAI_FAIL
-
A nonrecoverable error occurred.
- EAI_FAMILY
-
The address family was not recognized,
or the address length was invalid for the specified family.
- EAI_MEMORY
-
Out of memory.
- EAI_NONAME
-
The name does not resolve for the supplied arguments.
NI_NAMEREQD
is set and the host's name cannot be located,
or neither hostname nor service name were requested.
- EAI_OVERFLOW
-
The buffer pointed to by
host
or
serv
was too small.
- EAI_SYSTEM
-
A system error occurred.
The error code can be found in
errno.
The
gai_strerror(3)
function translates these error codes to a human readable string,
suitable for error reporting.
FILES
/etc/hosts
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
VERSIONS
getnameinfo()
is provided in glibc since version 2.1.
CONFORMING TO
RFC 2553, POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
In order to assist the programmer in choosing reasonable sizes
for the supplied buffers,
<netdb.h>
defines the constants
#define NI_MAXHOST 1025
#define NI_MAXSERV 32
Since glibc 2.8,
these definitions are exposed only if one of the feature test macros
_BSD_SOURCE,
_SVID_SOURCE,
or
_GNU_SOURCE
is defined.
The former is the constant
MAXDNAME
in recent versions of BIND's
<arpa/nameser.h>
header file.
The latter is a guess based on the services listed
in the current Assigned Numbers RFC.
Before glibc version 2.2, the
hostlen
and
servlen
arguments were typed as
size_t.
EXAMPLE
The following code tries to get the numeric hostname and service name,
for a given socket address.
Note that there is no hardcoded reference to
a particular address family.
struct sockaddr *sa; /* input */
socklen_t len; /* input */
char hbuf[NI_MAXHOST], sbuf[NI_MAXSERV];
if (getnameinfo(sa, len, hbuf, sizeof(hbuf), sbuf,
sizeof(sbuf), NI_NUMERICHOST | NI_NUMERICSERV) == 0)
printf("host=%s, serv=%s\n", hbuf, sbuf);
The following version checks if the socket address has a
reverse address mapping.
struct sockaddr *sa; /* input */
socklen_t len; /* input */
char hbuf[NI_MAXHOST];
if (getnameinfo(sa, len, hbuf, sizeof(hbuf),
NULL, 0, NI_NAMEREQD))
printf("could not resolve hostname");
else
printf("host=%s\n", hbuf);
An example program using
getnameinfo()
can be found in
getaddrinfo(3).

A column in a select statement. This can be either a TableColumn or a
QueryColumn.
Superclass for statements that can set table columns: UpdateStatement and
InsertStatement. This class maintains a list of the columns that have been
set, and a code block to set each value.
Represents a database that we connect to using JDBC. This is the main
entry point in this library for operations on a database.
An SQL delete statement. See Database.deleteFrom.
A generic SQL statement. The entire statement body is set by user code.
See Database.statement.
An SQL insert statement. See Database.insertInto.
A parameter to an SQL statement. Parameters are represented as "?" in the text
of a SQL statement. Before executing a statement, they can be set, using
ParameterSetter.set, which sets one the underlying java.sql.PreparedStatement's parameter
values.
Type for statements that can set parameters: DeleteStatement, UpdateStatement,
SelectQuery and GenericStatement. This class maintains a map of the parameters
that have been set to code blocks that set the parameters on a PreparedStatement, given
the value index.
A query column with a SQL expression, like "COUNT(*)". QueryColumn values
are read-only, and query columns cannot appear in a SelectQuery marked as
for update.
Abstract superclass for objects that hold a ResultSet: SelectQuery and InsertStatement.Result.
This class maintains a map that is used to look up a desired Column, and find it in
a ResultSet.
A delete statement that can be stored in a variable, and used multipe times. This saves the
(small) overhead of a hash table lookup that's incurred when using Database.deleteFrom every
time the same statement is run.
A generic statement that can be stored in a variable, and used multipe times. This saves the
(small) overhead of a hash table lookup that's incurred when using Database.statement every
time the same statement is run.
A select query that can be stored in a variable, and used multipe times. This saves the
(small) overhead of a hash table lookup that's incurred when using Database.select every
time the same statement is run.
An SQL select query. See Database.select.
Abstract superclass for the builder of all statement types.
See also StatementBuilder.doNotCache
Base class for Table definitions. A table is defined by making a singleton object
that implements this type, with TableColumn members. Columns register themselves
with their table, which is the first parameter to their constructor.
A column in a Table. The SQL type of the column is determined by
sqlType, and the Kotlin type is determined by adapter. See Table
Superclass for the builder of all statements that can have SQL strings
added to the statement body. See TextStatementBuilder.plus.
An SQL update statement. See Database.update.
Interface describing an object that is used to adapt a PreparedStatement or a
ResultSet by getting/setting a value of the appropriate type.
Abstract superclass for all value adapters of non-nullable types. This
provides an implementation of a method that creates a value adapter of the
corresponding nullable type.

Fair and balanced judge bitchslaps Fox, O'Reilly
Wire Services | Submitted by: Heavy Phloe
"A federal judge on Friday slammed Fox News' trademark infringement lawsuit against Al Franken and his publisher Penguin Group and refused to stop the sale of the liberal satirist's new book that pokes fun at the network and host Bill O'Reilly. Fox charged that Franken had violated its trademarked phrase 'fair and balanced' by including it on the cover of his book entitled Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them.... 'There are hard cases and there are easy cases. This is an easy case,' said U.S. District Judge Denny Chin. 'This case is wholly without merit both factually and legally.' ... [He] pointed out that the word 'Lies' in the title is printed in large red letters next to a photo of O'Reilly. He said that there was no likelihood that book buyers would think that the sponsor is Fox or O'Reilly."

Israel's answer to Camp Delta
haaretz.com | Submitted by: Matt Iskra
"The Israeli authorities have made every effort to keep its very existence secret. And even now that its existence has been revealed, the state refuses to answer the many questions of the world and of the Israeli public: Where is the facility? Who is being held there, why, and for how long? Were they tried before being locked up in Camp 1391, or are they awaiting trial? What are their conditions of incarceration? ... As far as is known, the 1391 site is the only detention facility whose detainees don't know where they are. If they ask, the warders may answer, 'on the moon,' or 'in outer space,' or 'outside the borders of Israel.' It is also the only detention facility that the state prevents the International Red Cross from visiting."

Habitat for Humanity crackhouse burns down
Muncie Star-Press | Submitted by: gumabear
"Police say the owner of a house built by Habitat for Humanity took advantage of the charity and turned the home into a crack house. And less than 24 hours after police raided the home, it caught fire. Fire officials said late Thursday that the blaze, which badly damaged the home, was suspicious. ... 'Most of the time the people who get those houses are good people who need help. Not everyone is going to take advantage of the situation like her and turn it into a crack house.'"

Weather Underground prisoner wins parole
Court TV | Submitted by: Tim Howard
"The parole of 1960s radical Kathy Boudin -- denied twice in the past two years -- shocked and surprised family members, friends and colleagues of the three men killed in the armored-car heist she took part in 22 years ago. ... Boudin, 60, a one-time member of the Weather Underground described as a model inmate in prison, was denied parole three months ago and two years ago. ... In the robbery at the Nanuet Mall, $1.6 million was stolen and a security guard was killed. Two police officers were gunned down when the truck, with Boudin in the passenger seat and fellow radical David Gilbert at the wheel, was stopped at a roadblock in Nyack and the gang burst from the back of the vehicle with automatic weapons firing."

Heat wave kills 10,000 French fogeys, cripples
Newsday | Submitted by: Tim Howard
"As many as 10,000 people may have died in France's heat wave, the government acknowledged yesterday, and a solemn President Jacques Chirac promised health system changes. But he also leveled a criticism at the public, saying many elderly victims 'died alone in their homes' while their families vacationed without them during their traditional August off. ... Speaking on television and radio after a cabinet meeting on the crisis, Chirac said, 'Many fragile people died alone in their homes. These dramas again shed light on the solitude of many of our aged or handicapped citizens.'"

Brazilians sent packing over Beatles trivia questions
Newsday | Submitted by: Tim Howard
"A lack of knowledge about the Beatles proved costly for six Brazilians -- immigration officials at Heathrow Airport sent them packing when they failed a quiz about the Fab Four. The Brazilians were given the quick test on Thursday after they claimed to be traveling to Britain for Liverpool's Mathew Street Festival, which celebrates the lives of the northern English city's most famous sons. ... They were stumped when asked who Yoko Ono was and erroneously told officials that Ringo Starr had died, according to the report."

Australians debate merits of superhero costumes
Cybercast News Service | Submitted by: Super Buzz Beer
"Australian Prime Minister John Howard has slammed a decision by some kindergartens to ban children from dressing up as superheroes, saying the move was 'political correctness gone mad.' At least a dozen centers for pre-school children in the city of Melbourne this week declared that they have been practicing a 'superhero-free' policy, saying that dressing up as characters like Superman and the Incredible Hulk encouraged children to be aggressive. ... Howard told a Melbourne radio station Friday the decision was 'just ridiculous,' pointing too to a ban by some centers on children singing Christmas carols."

Goth kids taking over Disneyland on Sunday
Orange County Weekly | Submitted by: juanholmes
"Disneyland has Gay Day. Disneyland has Raver Day. Disneyland had Yippie Day once, in 1970 -- it was fun, at least till the cops showed up in riot gear. We’re pretty sure Disneyland has also had Sex Worker Day, Vegan Day, Rick Springfield Universal Fan Club Day, Trekkie Day, Trannie Day and Plushie/Furrie Day -- all unsanctioned and unknown by the park brass, naturally, but nonetheless, dates when life's variant subcultures can romp around the Magic Kingdom and feel that they've taken over the place. This Sunday, it’s the Goths' turn."

 She has an extremely natural charm that is just incredibly appealing to me. The main reason that the movie worked for me was that I found myself to be *instantly* sympathetic towards her. There are very few actors out there that are able to project such a high level of instant likability. (Someone should consider casting her as a villain one of these times. I have a hunch such a move would be quite disturbing, particularly if the character's nature turned out to be a surprise.)
From a plausibility standpoint, the film is something of a mixed-bag. The very basic idea of someone's identity being erased via manipulation of computer records is presented in a way that isn't hard to believe. It is a bit of a paranoid fantasy, but that kind of paranoia has often been the basis of this type of thriller. In reality, the whole idea probably *isn't* that completely far-fetched. Society has become awfully dependent on computer records and computer security isn't as tight as we would probably like it to be.
What is pretty outlandish is the larger plot that is the basis of the whole situation. Bullock's situation results when she stumbles on a conspiracy so sweeping that only Oliver Stone would be likely to believe it. Luckily, the story doesn't typically take center stage in the film. It is Bullock's down- to-Earth performance that kept me from thinking too much about the basic implausibilities of the story.
The film is generally pretty good with the computer-related details, although it does occasionally spruce things up a bit for the camera. The movie does include some unlikely uses of voice synthesis as well as some screen displays that are more photogenic than they really need to be (this movie contains yet another example of the "photogenic computer virus" that seems to be popular in movies right now). For the most part, though, the filmmakers manage to get much of the language right and the computers aren't usually given capabilities beyond the realm of possibility. Those of us that are real-life computer nuts will tend to appreciate the accuracy of the terminology, even if much of it may go right past many viewers.
While Bullock's performance is the heart and soul of this film, the supporting cast is also good. As the villain, Jeremy Northam provides an appropriate mix of charm and menace. The best part of the performance is that he is able to bring an odd *warmth* to the character that makes him all the more hateful. Villains in this type of film typically have much colder personalities, making Northam's performance something of a refreshing change. As the only friend that Bullock is able to trust, Dennis Miller brings some welcome, although brief, comic-relief to the film.
During much of this movie, director Irwin Winkler appears to believe that he is making a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock. There are a few scenes that seem to be taken almost shot-for-shot out of classic Hitchcock films. In fact, the whole film really feels like a modernized Hitchcock movie. It doesn't quite have the plot ingenuity that Hitchcock managed, but Bullock's character certainly has all the makings of one of Hitch's "everyman" protagonists.
Largely thanks to the extremely welcome presence of Sandra Bullock, THE NET is one of this summer's most satisfying and entertaining thrillers. It should advance Bullock one more step towards superstardom.

This redirection overrides piped input. To use both, merge or pass filenames.
gzcat yesterday.log.gz | grep "$USER" < today.log
# Specify non-piped inputs as filenames
gzcat yesterday.log.gz | grep "$USER" - today.log
# Or merge multiple inputs into a single stream
{ gzcat yesterday.log.gz; cat today.log; } | grep "$USER"
A process only has a single standard input stream. Pipes and input redirections both overwrite it, so you can't use both at the same time. If you try, the redirection takes precedence and the input pipe is closed.
Many commands support specifying multiple filenames, where one can be stdin (canonically by specifying -
as a filename, or alternatively by using /dev/stdin
). In these cases, you can rewrite the command to use one piped input, and as many extra files (or process substitutions) as you want.
For commands that only process a single input stream (like tr
), you can also concatenate multiple commands or files into a single stream using a { command group; }
as in the example.

--- layout: post title: Finishing What You Start date: 2012-03-20 04:40:14.000000000 -07:00 type: post published: true status: publish categories: ---
Finishing what you start seems simpler said than done. At least for me. Having at least 15 drafts, struggling to finish personal projects and almost completing the assembly of a 3D Printer have been a few of my unfinished businesses.
This is something that I would normally not share, but I feel that I'm not the only one that suffers from this lost of momentum to put the finishing touches to a piece of work.
If you take into perspective, you have done all the hard stuff. You have built it in a strong foundation, your core idea is there, almost everything is in place, except those little details. Those 5 pixels of padding missing, the smoothness of two graphics, the skipped frames that JavaScript ignored, the timing belt that unexpectedly stretched and your X-axis doesn't move properly.
All those things are minor things, if you see them as big tasks, you will never get done. Make a to-do of all the small things that still need should be completed and your main goal is to check all your list off.
Sure, I will look back into this post and I may think of adding more lines of insight... or I may not, but I wanted to feel accomplished and not stack one more Draft post.

In some applications, it is not feasible for the debugger to interrupt the program's execution long enough for the developer to learn anything helpful about its behavior. If the program's correctness depends on its real-time behavior, delays introduced by a debugger might cause the program to fail, even when the code itself is correct. It is useful to be able to observe the program's behavior without interrupting it.
Using GDB's trace
and collect
commands, the user can
specify locations in the program, and arbitrary expressions to evaluate
when those locations are reached. Later, using the tfind
command, she can examine the values those expressions had when the
program hit the trace points. The expressions may also denote objects
in memory -- structures or arrays, for example -- whose values GDB
should record; while visiting a particular tracepoint, the user may
inspect those objects as if they were in memory at that moment.
However, because GDB records these values without interacting with the
user, it can do so quickly and unobtrusively, hopefully not disturbing
the program's behavior.
When GDB is debugging a remote target, the GDB agent code running on the target computes the values of the expressions itself. To avoid having a full symbolic expression evaluator on the agent, GDB translates expressions in the source language into a simpler bytecode language, and then sends the bytecode to the agent; the agent then executes the bytecode, and records the values for GDB to retrieve later.
The bytecode language is simple; there are forty-odd opcodes, the bulk of which are the usual vocabulary of C operands (addition, subtraction, shifts, and so on) and various sizes of literals and memory reference operations. The bytecode interpreter operates strictly on machine-level values -- various sizes of integers and floating point numbers -- and requires no information about types or symbols; thus, the interpreter's internal data structures are simple, and each bytecode requires only a few native machine instructions to implement it. The interpreter is small, and strict limits on the memory and time required to evaluate an expression are easy to determine, making it suitable for use by the debugging agent in real-time applications.
E.1 General Bytecode Design Overview of the interpreter. E.2 Bytecode Descriptions What each one does. E.3 Using Agent Expressions How agent expressions fit into the big picture. E.4 Varying Target Capabilities How to discover what the target can do. E.5 Tracing on Symmetrix Special info for implementation on EMC's boxes. E.6 Rationale Why we did it this way.
| [ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
The agent represents bytecode expressions as an array of bytes. Each
instruction is one byte long (thus the term bytecode). Some
instructions are followed by operand bytes; for example, the goto
instruction is followed by a destination for the jump.
The bytecode interpreter is a stack-based machine; most instructions pop their operands off the stack, perform some operation, and push the result back on the stack for the next instruction to consume. Each element of the stack may contain either a integer or a floating point value; these values are as many bits wide as the largest integer that can be directly manipulated in the source language. Stack elements carry no record of their type; bytecode could push a value as an integer, then pop it as a floating point value. However, GDB will not generate code which does this. In C, one might define the type of a stack element as follows:
union agent_val { LONGEST l; DOUBLEST d; }; |
LONGEST
and DOUBLEST
are typedef
names for
the largest integer and floating point types on the machine.
By the time the bytecode interpreter reaches the end of the expression,
the value of the expression should be the only value left on the stack.
For tracing applications, trace
bytecodes in the expression will
have recorded the necessary data, and the value on the stack may be
discarded. For other applications, like conditional breakpoints, the
value may be useful.
Separate from the stack, the interpreter has two registers:
pc
start
goto
and if_goto
instructions.
There are no instructions to perform side effects on the running program, or call the program's functions; we assume that these expressions are only used for unobtrusive debugging, not for patching the running code.
Most bytecode instructions do not distinguish between the various sizes of values, and operate on full-width values; the upper bits of the values are simply ignored, since they do not usually make a difference to the value computed. The exceptions to this rule are:
ref
n)
ext
instruction
exists for this purpose.
ext
n)
If the interpreter is unable to evaluate an expression completely for some reason (a memory location is inaccessible, or a divisor is zero, for example), we say that interpretation "terminates with an error". This means that the problem is reported back to the interpreter's caller in some helpful way. In general, code using agent expressions should assume that they may attempt to divide by zero, fetch arbitrary memory locations, and misbehave in other ways.
Even complicated C expressions compile to a few bytecode instructions;
for example, the expression x + y * z
would typically produce
code like the following, assuming that x
and y
live in
registers, and z
is a global variable holding a 32-bit
int
:
reg 1 reg 2 const32 address of z ref32 ext 32 mul add end |
In detail, these mean:
reg 1
x
) onto the
stack.
reg 2
y
).
const32 address of z
z
onto the stack.
ref32
z
with z
's value.
ext 32
z
is a signed integer.
mul
y * z
.
add
x + y * z
.
end
| [ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
Each bytecode description has the following form:
add
(0x02): a b => a+b
Pop the top two stack items, a and b, as integers; push their sum, as an integer.
In this example, add
is the name of the bytecode, and
(0x02)
is the one-byte value used to encode the bytecode, in
hexadecimal. The phrase "a b => a+b" shows
the stack before and after the bytecode executes. Beforehand, the stack
must contain at least two values, a and b; since the top of
the stack is to the right, b is on the top of the stack, and
a is underneath it. After execution, the bytecode will have
popped a and b from the stack, and replaced them with a
single value, a+b. There may be other values on the stack below
those shown, but the bytecode affects only those shown.
Here is another example:
const8
(0x22) n: => n
In this example, the bytecode const8
takes an operand n
directly from the bytecode stream; the operand follows the const8
bytecode itself. We write any such operands immediately after the name
of the bytecode, before the colon, and describe the exact encoding of
the operand in the bytecode stream in the body of the bytecode
description.
For the const8
bytecode, there are no stack items given before
the =>; this simply means that the bytecode consumes no values
from the stack. If a bytecode consumes no values, or produces no
values, the list on either side of the => may be empty.
If a value is written as a, b, or n, then the bytecode treats it as an integer. If a value is written is addr, then the bytecode treats it as an address.
We do not fully describe the floating point operations here; although this design can be extended in a clean way to handle floating point values, they are not of immediate interest to the customer, so we avoid describing them, to save time.

Here is a sketch of a full non-stop debugging cycle, showing how agent expressions fit into the process.
| [ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
Some targets don't support floating-point, and some would rather not
have to deal with long long
operations. Also, different targets
will have different stack sizes, and different bytecode buffer lengths.
Thus, GDB needs a way to ask the target about itself. We haven't worked out the details yet, but in general, GDB should be able to send the target a packet asking it to describe itself. The reply should be a packet whose length is explicit, so we can add new information to the packet in future revisions of the agent, without confusing old versions of GDB, and it should contain a version number. It should contain at least the following information:
long long
is supported
| [ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
This section documents the API used by the GDB agent to collect data on Symmetrix systems.
Cygnus originally implemented these tracing features to help EMC Corporation debug their Symmetrix high-availability disk drives. The Symmetrix application code already includes substantial tracing facilities; the GDB agent for the Symmetrix system uses those facilities for its own data collection, via the API described here.
*buffer
to point to the buffer in which that memory was
saved, set *size
to the number of bytes from address
that are saved at *buffer
, and return
OK_TARGET_RESPONSE
. (Clearly, in this case, the function will
always set *size
to a value greater than zero.)
*size
to the distance from address to the start of
the saved region with the lowest address higher than address. If
there is no memory saved from any higher address, set *size
to zero. Return NOT_FOUND_TARGET_RESPONSE
.
These two possibilities allow the caller to either retrieve the data, or walk the address space to the next saved area.
This function allows the GDB agent to map the regions of memory saved in a particular frame, and retrieve their contents efficiently.
This function also provides a clean interface between the GDB agent and the Symmetrix tracing structures, making it easier to adapt the GDB agent to future versions of the Symmetrix system, and vice versa. This function searches all data saved in frame, whether the data is there at the request of a bytecode expression, or because it falls in one of the format's memory ranges, or because it was saved from the top of the stack. EMC can arbitrarily change and enhance the tracing mechanism, but as long as this function works properly, all collected memory is visible to GDB.
The function itself is straightforward to implement. A single pass over the trace frame's stack area, memory ranges, and expression blocks can yield the address of the buffer (if the requested address was saved), and also note the address of the next higher range of memory, to be returned when the search fails.
As an example, suppose the trace frame f
has saved sixteen bytes
from address 0x8000
in a buffer at 0x1000
, and thirty-two
bytes from address 0xc000
in a buffer at 0x1010
. Here are
some sample calls, and the effect each would have:
adbg_find_memory_in_frame (f, (char*) 0x8000, &buffer, &size)
buffer
to 0x1000
, set size
to
sixteen, and return OK_TARGET_RESPONSE
, since f
saves
sixteen bytes from 0x8000
at 0x1000
.
adbg_find_memory_in_frame (f, (char *) 0x8004, &buffer, &size)
buffer
to 0x1004
, set size
to
twelve, and return OK_TARGET_RESPONSE
, since `f' saves the
twelve bytes from 0x8004
starting four bytes into the buffer at
0x1000
. This shows that request addresses may fall in the middle
of saved areas; the function should return the address and size of the
remainder of the buffer.
adbg_find_memory_in_frame (f, (char *) 0x8100, &buffer, &size)
size
to 0x3f00
and return
NOT_FOUND_TARGET_RESPONSE
, since there is no memory saved in
f
from the address 0x8100
, and the next memory available
is at 0x8100 + 0x3f00
, or 0xc000
. This shows that request
addresses may fall outside of all saved memory ranges; the function
should indicate the next saved area, if any.
adbg_find_memory_in_frame (f, (char *) 0x7000, &buffer, &size)
size
to 0x1000
and return
NOT_FOUND_TARGET_RESPONSE
, since the next saved memory is at
0x7000 + 0x1000
, or 0x8000
.
adbg_find_memory_in_frame (f, (char *) 0xf000, &buffer, &size)
size
to zero, and return
NOT_FOUND_TARGET_RESPONSE
. This shows how the function tells the
caller that no further memory ranges have been saved.
As another example, here is a function which will print out the
addresses of all memory saved in the trace frame frame
on the
Symmetrix INLINES console:
void print_frame_addresses (FRAME_DEF *frame) { char *addr; char *buffer; unsigned long size; addr = 0; for (;;) { /* Either find out how much memory we have here, or discover where the next saved region is. */ if (adbg_find_memory_in_frame (frame, addr, &buffer, &size) == OK_TARGET_RESPONSE) printp ("saved %x to %x\n", addr, addr + size); if (size == 0) break; addr += size; } } |
Note that there is not necessarily any connection between the order in
which the data is saved in the trace frame, and the order in which
adbg_find_memory_in_frame
will return those memory ranges. The
code above will always print the saved memory regions in order of
increasing address, while the underlying frame structure might store the
data in a random order.
[[This section should cover the rest of the Symmetrix functions the stub relies upon, too.]]
| [ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
Some of the design decisions apparent above are arguable.
Speed isn't important, but agent code size is; using LONGEST brings in a bunch of support code to do things like division, etc. So this is a serious concern.
First, note that you don't need different bytecodes for different operand sizes. You can generate code without knowing how big the stack elements actually are on the target. If the target only supports 32-bit ints, and you don't send any 64-bit bytecodes, everything just works. The observation here is that the MIPS and the Alpha have only fixed-size registers, and you can still get C's semantics even though most instructions only operate on full-sized words. You just need to make sure everything is properly sign-extended at the right times. So there is no need for 32- and 64-bit variants of the bytecodes. Just implement everything using the largest size you support.
GDB should certainly check to see what sizes the target supports, so the user can get an error earlier, rather than later. But this information is not necessary for correctness.

operators?
less_
opcodes with log_not

log_not
is equivalent to const8 0 equal

ext n
is equivalent to const8 s-n lsh const8
s-n rsh_signed
, where s is the size of the stack elements;
it follows refm
and reg bytecodes when the value
should be signed. See the next bulleted item.
zero_ext n
is equivalent to constm mask
log_and
; it's used whenever we push the value of a register, because we
can't assume the upper bits of the register aren't garbage.
ref

ref

need the ext
bytecode anyway for accessing bitfields.
ref
operators?
ref
operators again, and
const32 address ref32
is only one byte longer.
refn
operators have to support unaligned fetches?
In particular, structure bitfields may be several bytes long, but follow no alignment rules; members of packed structures are not necessarily aligned either.
In general, there are many cases where unaligned references occur in correct C code, either at the programmer's explicit request, or at the compiler's discretion. Thus, it is simpler to make the GDB agent bytecodes work correctly in all circumstances than to make GDB guess in each case whether the compiler did the usual thing.
goto
ops PC-relative?
goto
ops?
Suppose we have multiple branch ops with different offset sizes. As I generate code left-to-right, all my jumps are forward jumps (there are no loops in expressions), so I never know the target when I emit the jump opcode. Thus, I have to either always assume the largest offset size, or do jump relaxation on the code after I generate it, which seems like a big waste of time.
I can imagine a reasonable expression being longer than 256 bytes. I can't imagine one being longer than 64k. Thus, we need 16-bit offsets.
The other approach would be to generate code right-to-left. Then I'd always know my offset size. That might be fun.
When we add side-effects, we should add this.
reg
bytecode take a 16-bit register number?
Intel's IA-64 architecture has 128 general-purpose registers, and 128 floating-point registers, and I'm sure it has some random control registers.
trace
and trace_quick
?
x->y->z
, the agent must record the values of x
and
x->y
as well as the value of x->y->z
.
trace
bytecodes make the interpreter less general?
trace
bytecodes, they don't get in
its way.
trace_quick
consume its arguments the way everything else does?
trace_quick
is a kludge to save space; it
only exists so we needn't write dup const8 SIZE trace
before every memory reference. Therefore, it's okay for it not to
consume its arguments; it's meant for a specific context in which we
know exactly what it should do with the stack. If we're going to have a
kludge, it should be an effective kludge.
trace16
exist?
dup const16
size trace
in those cases.
Whatever we decide to do with trace16
, we should at least leave
opcode 0x30 reserved, to remain compatible with the customer who added
it.

SPY HARD A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli

Clunk.
Clunk, clunk, clunk.
THUD!
Those are the sounds of the would-be jokes in SPY HARD repeatedly falling flat (alternatively, it could have been the sound of my head hitting the seat-back in front of me as I tried to knock myself senseless to avoid watching any more of this film). Director Rick Friedberg (who made the "bad golf" videos with Leslie Nielsen) has crafted a dreadfully unfunny comedy that takes NAKED GUN-like sketches and rehashes them without a whit of style or energy. Lead actor Nielsen appears worn out and co-star Andy Griffith looks like he'd rather be solving murders in MATLOCK.
Despite the title, which might lead you to believe that you're in for a lampoon of Bruce Willis' highly successful action trilogy, SPY HARD has nothing to do with DIE HARD. This is actually a spoof of the James Bond movies, with a few uninventive jabs at PULP FICTION, CLIFFHANGER, IN THE LINE OF FIRE, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, SPEED, ET, SISTER ACT, TRUE LIES, RAMBO, and JURASSIC PARK thrown in. However, these are guaranteed to provoke more winces than laughs, even from those who find just about anything funny.
There are two memorable, moderately-entertaining sequences in SPY HARD. The first is the opening credits -- a direct take-off of Maurice Binder's 007 work, with naked, silhouetted models doing underwater acrobatics. Only in this case, half the women are obviously overweight. Meanwhile, Weird Al Yankovic sings "Spy Hard", a none-too-subtle takeoff of "Thunderball" with moderately-clever lyrics. In fact, if there's one aspect of SPY HARD worth lauding, it's Bill Conti's music, which suggests just about every film that's parodied without ever resorting to a strict rip-off.
Then there's a HOME ALONE spoof, with Mason Gamble (DENNIS THE MENACE) standing in for Macaulay Culkin. This time, however, the tables are turned, and the two crooks get to have their way with the kid, giving him more than a taste of his own medicine.
The basic storyline, such as it is, has agent WD-40, aka Steel, Dick Steel (Nielsen), out to stop the armless madman, General Rancor (Griffith), before he destroys the world. Steel is accompanied by a beautiful young spy, Veronique (Nicolette Sheridan). Along the way, Steel and Veronique get help from a number of Bond-esque characters, including an "M" in his dotage (Charles Durning), his oversexed secretary, Miss Cheevus (Marcia Gay Harden), and a "Q"-type. Cameos abound: Mr. T, Fabio, Robert Guillaume, Robert Culp, Ray Charles, Pat Morita, Alex Trebek, Hulk Hogan, and Dr. Joyce Brothers. (Not exactly a list like the one from THE PLAYER, is it?)
For movie-after-movie, Leslie Nielsen has milked this same personality, and it's starting to wear very thin. As affable as the actor is, there's just nothing left in this caricature. However, while SPY HARD might have worked better with, say, Roger Moore in the title role (his 007 was a parody towards the end, anyway), Nielsen's performance is only a small part of a massively-flawed production. HARD is the operative word here, because, even at just eighty-one minutes, this movie is unbelievably difficult to sit through.

Hi there! Welcome to my portfolio.
My name is Eugyoung "Eugy" Han and I am a senior at Brown University currently studying Cognitive Science (Class of 2020) with a focus on Computer Science and VR. My interests lie in Virtual Reality (VR, AR, MR), UI/UX Research, and Product Management.
I was born in 1997 in South Korea, but was raised in 7 different countries. My first language was German, and I spent most of my time in Latin American countries. My identity is a mix of Korean, German, Israeli, Uruguayan, Venezuelan, Mexican, and American. My non traditional background allows me to bring various perspectives and ideas to the table, all of which I've gathered from around the globe.
Having grown up in various different countries, I have a deep awareness of cross-cultural differences and practices. My experiences and identities greatly shape my view on the people that I listen to, cater to, and conduct research with. I want to bring these insights to my project, so that I can ensure that this inclusivity does not get lost in translation or sacrificed during any process.
Additionally, I have a strong passion for and background in technology, especially regarding VR, cognitive science, and design. I am particularly interested in researching the ties between cognition and VR, and translating creative ideas into projects.


Identifying Alive IP Addresses:
Nmap by default provides a -sn Ping scan option. The default host discovery done with -sn consists of an ICMP echo request, TCP SYN to port 443, TCP ACK to port 80, and an ICMP timestamp request by default. This works as if ICMP echo request is blocked, nmap would know if a host is alive if it receives any response from port 443 or 80 or timestamp reply.
Let's see what the nmap does when do a ping scan.
nmap -sn -n <IP_ADDRESS>
#My IP is <IP_ADDRESS>
It is very important to mention that -n option (No DNS resolution) should be used going forward as we have already did DNS resolution while using List scan. Since DNS can be slow even with Nmap's built-in parallel stub resolver, this option can slash scanning times.
TCP Dump output is presented here. As both the IP address are in the same subnet, nmap would use ARP Ping scan to find the alive IP Address.
22:11:27.292054 ARP, Request who-has <IP_ADDRESS> (Broadcast) tell <IP_ADDRESS>, length 28
22:11:27.361100 ARP, Reply <IP_ADDRESS> is-at 8c:64:22:3b:2b:2d (oui Unknown), length 28
However, this behavior can be changed using --disable-arp-ping
nmap -sn <IP_ADDRESS> --disable-arp-ping
TCPdump output is as below: One ICMP Echo Request, SYN to Port 443, ACK to Port 80 and a time stamp request.
22:14:02.742180 IP <IP_ADDRESS> > <IP_ADDRESS>: ICMP echo request, id 45066, seq 0, length 8
22:14:02.742222 IP <IP_ADDRESS>.59246 > <IP_ADDRESS>.https: Flags [S], seq<PHONE_NUMBER>, win 1024, options [mss 1460], length 0
22:14:02.742234 IP <IP_ADDRESS>.59246 > <IP_ADDRESS>.http: Flags [.], ack<PHONE_NUMBER>, win 1024, length 0
22:14:02.742241 IP <IP_ADDRESS> > <IP_ADDRESS>: ICMP time stamp query id 38635 seq 0, length 20
22:14:02.801243 IP <IP_ADDRESS> > <IP_ADDRESS>: ICMP echo reply, id 45066, seq 0, length 8
22:14:02.801930 IP <IP_ADDRESS>.https > <IP_ADDRESS>.59246: Flags [R.], seq 0, ack<PHONE_NUMBER>, win 0, length 0
22:14:02.805083 IP <IP_ADDRESS>.http > <IP_ADDRESS>.59246: Flags [R], seq<PHONE_NUMBER>, win 0, length 0
22:14:02.805930 IP <IP_ADDRESS> > <IP_ADDRESS>: ICMP time stamp reply id 38635 seq 0: org 00:00:00.000, recv 16:40:52.731, xmit 16:40:52.731, length 20
If you use --reason option, nmap would tell why it thinks the host is alive. In the below case (received echo-reply).
Nmap scan report for <IP_ADDRESS>
Host is up, received echo-reply (0.073s latency).
If we only want to send ICMP Ping query ( as if the host replies to it, the other three packets (SYN 443, ACK 80 and Timestamp ) are extra burden. ( I may be wrong here) We can use
nmap -n -sn -PE --disable-arp-ping <IP_ADDRESS>
TCP Dump output:
22:30:20.768525 IP <IP_ADDRESS> > <IP_ADDRESS>: ICMP echo request, id 39366, seq 0, length 8
22:30:20.826098 IP <IP_ADDRESS> > <IP_ADDRESS>: ICMP echo reply, id 39366, seq 0, length 8
Please note, this ICMP scan would miss all the host which are alive but the firewall is dropping the ICMP echo request packet. However, if you want to find more hosts, it would be advisable to separate the list of IPs which responded to ICMP from the IP address scan range and run the scan again may be with SYN to 443 and ACK to 80 using PA, PS options.
Please also note Nmap's ICMP ping, by default, sends zero data as part of the ping. Nmap typically pings the host via icmp if the user has root privileges, and uses a tcp-ping otherwise. This is easily detected by the Snort IDS Rule 1-469 SID 1-469.
This could be evaded by using
--data <hex string> (Append custom binary data to sent packets)
--data-string <string> (Append custom string to sent packets)
--data-length <number> (Append random data to sent packets)
Please note that you should use this options only on ICMP Echo Request for IDS Evasion as the data gets appended to every packet (ex. port scan packets).
Designing the ideal combinations of probes as suggested in the Nmap Book is
-PE -PA -PS 21,22,23,25,80,113,31339 -PA 80,113,443,10042
Adding --source-port 53 might also help
-PS/PA/PU/PY: TCP SYN/ACK, UDP or SCTP discovery
-PE/PP/PM: ICMP echo, timestamp, and netmask request discovery
The above combination would find more hosts than just the ping scan, however it also gonna cost a decent amount of time. Normal Time vs Accuracy trade off.

Sri Lanka being an island nation, and the fact that it lies in a central location as far as the ancient trade routes were concerned, is littered so to speak of wrecks from many different era’s. The tireless wonderers of lands of the ancient, Ibn Battuta and Fa-Hsien have recorded their arrivals to the island via ship. The oldest of such known wreck is from “Godawaya” (close to current sea port Hambantota), a wooden ship dated to be over 2,000 years old by way of potsherds and intact pots found on site, an important transit trading port in ancient silk route where silk.
For the keen hiker, there is a plethora of opportunities awaiting in Sri Lanka 's diverse and luscious hill country. The beautiful area of Haputale and Diyatalawa, located in the hill country of Sri Lanka , provides a base from which to try out a wide variety of hiking and trekking tours through jungle, across tea estates and up mountains. The river and numerous waterfalls in Sri Lanka are another key attraction that allows hikers and trekkers to enjoy a refreshing dip en-route ! In the same area the Horton Plains National Park offers some excellent hikes in an unusual environment.


PASSING GLORY A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1999 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): *** 1/2
In 1994, director Steve James's mesmerizing documentary HOOP DREAMS was on the top of my best of the year list as well as on the top of both Siskel's and Ebert's. This year, James comes back to the basketball courts with a film, the nicely named PASSING GLORY, based on a real story of a black basketball team. Set in the not yet integrated South of 1965 (when I graduated from high school in Texas), the movie tells the poignant story of a championship black basketball team with a singular vision, to play the winner of the city's white league.
Set in heavily Catholic New Orleans, the teams in the film are all from Catholic high schools. Rip Torn plays Father Grant, the sometimes-rebellious headmaster of a black high school. Father Grant tried before to integrate the league but was shot down by the Archbishop. His teams regularly win the championship of the "Negro" league but can never play any white teams.
Unlike many other films examining that era's racial strife, GHOSTS OF MISSISSIPPI for example, PASSING GLORY keeps the focus on the blacks and their struggle, rather giving most of the screen time to white racists. The prejudice of most of the whites in the area is compellingly presented, but they are not allowed to dominate the picture. Frequently the hero in these films is some white anti-segregation activist, usually from the North. This time, the protagonist does come from the North, but he is a black priest named Father Verrett. ("Why would a brother want to become a father?" one of the perplexed black basketball players asks rhetorically.)
Steve James, who was at our screening when PASSING GLORY closed San Jose's Cinequest Film Festival, said that when he read the script, he immediately saw André Braugher as the perfect choice to play Father Verrett. He was amazed and gratified to find that the studio, Turner Pictures, was already planning on casting him in the role. Braugher so naturally fits the part of the real-life Father Verrett, that he gives the picture an almost documentary realism. He brings strength, idealism and humanity to the part.
Hired as a history teacher, Father Verrett will not let the athletes in his classes be given the special treatment that they've been used to. "I teach history," he informs the headmaster when asked to take over the suddenly vacant position of basketball coach. "I believe sports are overemphasized." Moreover, coming from the North, he can't understand why star black athletes don't go to the best white colleges, as they should. "Down here, 'should' and 'is' is a long ways apart," the dad (Bill Nunn) of the team's star informs him.
The film includes many tangible examples of the racism then present. The blacks have to go to a separate "coloreds only" line at fast food outlets, and ordering a meal in the wrong place can and does get you thrown in jail. (I can remember the "coloreds only" signs from my childhood, although, where I grew up, they were taken away a half decade earlier than in this movie.) The simple but powerful script by Harold Sylvester -- James said that John Sayles helped with one of the rewrites -- is filled with lines of honest beauty.
Although most of the action in the movie happens off the courts, the basketball sequences are masterfully and excitingly presented. In the inevitable big game that ends the movie, there is an extremely controversial edit. I asked the editor, Paul Seydor (TIN CUP), about the edit, and he immediately knew the cut I meant. With a big grin, he said that when he read the script he thought this works great in print but cinematically it'll never work. An editor with tremendous pride in his craft, he confessed that this was one time he was glad to be proved wrong. The director thought the cut was essential to his vision, and Paul said the director was right. The director's whole movie is "right." I can't wait for Steve James's next picture.
PASSING GLORY runs a fast 1:30. It is not rated but would perhaps be PG-13 for some profanity and mature themes and would be excellent for kids around 12 and up.

To sum up my classroom management philosophy: provide structure, clear deadlines, and organization, be positive and roll with the punches, and teach my students to do the same.
I finished my teaching program while also getting an MS in Geosciences, which served to crystallize my thoughts on the value of structure, because grad school has approximately none.
A clear routine with direct instruction is ideal, and methods to streamline recordkeeping and administration are essential. One subject I love to teach is physics, and there is no good way to teach or learn physics that doesn’t involve a ton of diligent work, because it’s lots of new math and lots of new science. So the longer we can spend doing the hard work of learning, the better. But that means that we’ll have to establish some really clear routines and procedures, so we can quickly get down to business.
I taught physics for a year right after undergrad, and I didn’t closely enforce deadlines and late work, because my outlook at that point was, “As long as you do the work, then you’ll learn, so better late than never.” And while most of my students did do their work on time, a couple just turned in everything way late. After giving it some thought, I realized those students probably fell into one of two camps:
If a student falls into camp 1, I need to find ways to motivate them. That’s my job. And if a student falls into camp 2, then it’s incumbent upon me to help them develop their planning and organization skills. If I fail to do that, I’m letting them down.
So either way, this means I need to get consistent and serious about deadlines. It also means I can offer my students specific methods of recordkeeping and organization, like using science notebooks.
Most students are guaranteed to struggle in some aspect of their academic lives, and that can be really discouraging, especially if you’re at either extreme. If you consistently struggle in classes no matter how hard you work, it can be so tempting to just stop trying. And if school has always come easy to you and you’re finding yourself struggling for the first time, that’s quite a shock!
But struggling is part of learning, and failing can be instructional. That’s where encouragement comes in: I need to encourage my kids to power through the struggle and learn.
So I want to get my kids comfortable with failure, including public failure, because that’s just part of the deal. They will have to do problems on the board and they will mess up. And I will mess up too, because public math in the morning is a recipe for disaster. So I’ll model graceful, instructive failure, because that’s built into the job.
I also want to incorporate intentional practices to get my students okay with putting themselves out there and risking failure. I have used a wheel of names and Dungeons and Dragons dice to facilitate random cold-calling. When students are put on the spot like that, they are definitely uncomfortable at first, but once they realize that getting out there and guessing is actually productive rather than world-ending, it gets a lot easier for them, and they start volunteering their best guesses.
All of this small-scale exposure to failure leads to our ultimate goal: students who can design their own experiments, gather data, and do science on their own. They may not feel confident about it at first, but every day they will be learning the importance of guessing and failing, and how integral it is to the process of science. Project-based learning is the ultimate culmination of that, and while I don’t believe that good science teaching should be entirely PBL (nor should it be entirely direct instruction), it is still an essential component. And it’s an incredibly empowering component, as long as students aren’t immediately thrown into the deep end.
I’m big into private praise, because that way I can be honest and specific about what I’m seeing from students without letting everyone else in on anyone’s private business. So, if a student was having a terrible time with conservation of momentum problems, and then does well on their homework, I can give them feedback specific to that without making it a public event.
Like Sprick and friends, I am also big into specific feedback, be it positive, negative, or neutral. Specificity makes praise about a student’s accomplishments rather than pleasing the teacher, and I think it makes the negative interactions more akin to gentle corrections, and therefore more palatable to a student.
I tend toward the wildly enthusiastic when lecturing, and I’m big into rewarding successful struggle, so I foresee a lot of high fives when we’re all allowed to touch again. And successful struggle is, I think, its own reward. You worked really hard and it paid off.
