Parisian Love: An American Finds Love in Paris
February 8, 2010 — Patrick Zimmerman
Well, I ended up missing most of the Super Bowl, as well as almost all of the ads that went along with the Big Game. But I did catch the Google ad and it's a knockout, a real triumph of story over the technical wizardry that's usually showcased in Super Bowl ads.

Myron Rolle Wins Rhodes Scholarship: A Star Football Player and Scholar
Myron Rolle Wins The Rhodes Scholarship: A Star Football Player and Scholar
Florida State safety Myron Rolle was awarded a Rhodes scholarship Saturday. He is the first major-college football player of his generation to win what is considered the world's most prestigious postgraduate academic scholarship.
He became the most prominent student-athlete to win the award since Bill Bradley at Princeton in 1965. Bradley was later a Knicks basketball star, U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate. Other winners have included Pat Haden (U.S.C. and the Rams) and Tom McMillen (The Univ. of Maryland, the N.B.A. and Congress).
Rolle's quest to the win the Rhodes had received heavy attention from the news media, because he chose to risk missing all or part of Florida State's pivotal game at The University of Maryland on Saturday night to have the interview, which took place in Birmingham, Alabama.
Rolle received the news about 5 p.m. Saturay afternoon; he then received a police escort to a local airport, where a private plane waited to take him to the game. He entered the game late in the second quarter of a 37-3 Florida State victory. "He is flying high," Sally Karioth, a Florida State nursing professor who accompanied Rolle to his interview, said before the game. "He was hopping. He's usually real sedate."
Rolle was one of two winners selected from 13 finalists interviewed on Saturday in Birmingham. Parker Goyer, a former player on the women's tennis team at Duke, was the other winner.

Tiny Wofford College Smashes The University of Tennessee/Chattanooga, 56-7!!
Wofford Smashes The University of Tennessee/Chattanooga, 56-7
Defending Southern Conference champion Wofford College was back in action yesterday, taking on The University of Tennessee/Chattanooga after having a week off. Wofford's only loss this season was a last-minute upset loss to The University of South Carolina, playing before 86,000 fans in Carolina's Bryce Stadium.
Saturday was a day for big plays as No. 9 Wofford (4-1/2-0) scored five of their seven touchdowns from 20 yards or more to claim a 56-7 win over Chattanooga (1-6/0-3). For Wofford, the victory over Chattanooga is yet another a measure of a program that graduated 17 seniors, lost 13 of 24 starters and still finds itself with a 4-1 record and ranked ninth in the country.
Coming off a 9-4 record, an appearance in the FCS quarterfinals and a share of the Southern Conference championship, many observers thought that Wofford would be too inexperienced to make a serious run at national honors in 2008. But Wofford coach Mike Ayers wasn't one of those doubters. "To a certain extent, I'm not surprised," said Ayers, now in his 21st year as head coach. "After spring ball, we felt we had a number of older kids that knew what we were trying to do."
Add to that maybe the best freshman class in school history and the Terriers have been able to climb to unexpected heights. "We've worked really hard on our guys from the start to pressure them into maturing more quickly," explained Ayers, who has team tied for first place with Appalachian State and Elon in the SoCon with a 2-0 record.
In Wofford's complex, triple-option offensive system, discipline and execution are paramount to success and those attributes were apparent in large supply as the Terriers rolled to a 56-7 Southern Conference victory over Tennessee- Chattanooga on Saturday afternoon before 8,394 fans at Wofford's Gibbs Stadium.
Quarterback Ben Widmyer, who took over the controls of the wingbone attack from the graduated Josh Collier, got the Terriers rolling early with a 75-yard option run for a touchdown on Wofford's second offensive play. After Chattanooga scored to even the game at seven apiece, Wofford went on to score 49 unanswered points.
Widmyer, who finished with eight carries for 158 yards and completed 3-of-5 passes for 110 yards and two scores, gave the Terriers the lead for good with 8:30 left in the second period on a 35-yard TD jaunt. After he fired a scoring strike of 28 yards to tight end Fenn Allen, connected with true freshman Eric Breitenstein on a 32-yard wheel route to set up Breitenstein's five-yard TD burst and hit Andy Strickland on a 50-yard touchdown aerial, Widmyer retired to the sidelines just 62 seconds into the second half as the Terriers held a 35-7 lead.
Nevertheless, even with Widmyer and most of the starters watching, the Wofford reserves continued to play with precision on a day when the Terriers piled up 564 yards of total offense. And for Wofford, the remainder of the second half ended up being more of the same, as the ninth-ranked Terriers pulled away with big plays to end the game with 56 points.
Update: On Tuesday, October 14th, The Sports Network's FCS College Football Poll Ranked Wofford College 4th in the nation.

Tiny Wofford College Loses Upset to South Carolina in Final Minutes
The Wofford College Terriers couldn't quite pull off a shocking upset like fellow Southern Conference school Appalachian State did last season against The University of Michigan, but Wofford's game against The University of South Carolina on Saturday night was very close. In a game that was similar to the fabled Wofford-Carolina meeting in 2006, last night's game was tied at 10-10 in the third quarter and Wofford was down just 16-13 until the final minutes of the game.
Wofford had a 15-play drive on its first possession of the game, took a 7-3 lead on the second trip and pulled to within 16-13 on a field goal by Patrick Mugan with 7:50 remaining in the fourth quarter. The pesky Wofford Terriers then kept nipping at South Carolina's heels and just wouldn't go away. But South Carolina managed to score a touchdown in the final two minutes to pull out a last-minute 23-13 victory over Wofford before 76,600 football fans at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina.
Wofford out-gained South Carolina on the ground, and Carolina committed three turnovers in the game. The Terriers are now 2-1 in the season, while South Carolina is 2-2.

"Wardrobe Malfunction" Fine Reversed: Timberlake Sings About It
Last night on ESPYs, Justin Timberlake performed a song about the legendary "wardrobe malfunction" during the 2004 Super Bowl. Coincidentally, this morning the Third Circuit Court overturned the $550,000 fine that CBS had paid to the FCC for the incident, ruling that the network could not be held accountable for the actions of "independent contractors" (Timberlake and Janet Jackson).
However, the court added, that if the FCC wanted to fine ESPN for Timberlake's lame song, that would be okay!!

Puppy Bowl IV: Great Tacklers, but Can't Pass
In response to the Super Bowl ratings giant, executives at Animal Planet created a show that has turned out to be a hit in its own right. Puppy Bowl IV is a three-hour extravaganza in which a cast of 46 dogs frolics, chases, pants, sniffs, rolls, tail wags and occasionally picks up a ball (or, more likely, a chew toy) on a set resembling a football field. It is going to be broadcast at 3 p.m. on Sunday, with repeat airings to follow.
And as the show's viewership has grown, so has the attention lavished on it by animal lovers and sports fans. Puppy Bowl parties are common. Among the stars of this year's game are Rascal, 13 weeks, a border collie mix; Mrs. Roper, 9 weeks, a Labrador retriever mix; and Bruin, 14 weeks, an Alaskan malamute. No more than eight puppies hit the gridiron at once, but the show is in high definition this year. Many of the animals come from shelters; part of the show's mission is to promote adoption via Petfinder.com. Recruiting players is not a challenge.
Though there are no teams or uniforms, the show follows many football conventions. This year's game begins with the national anthem; the puppies watch the flag wave with due seriousness, if no paws over hearts. There is commentary, by Harry Kalas, the legendary N.F.L. and Phillies broadcaster, who in this case says things like: "He's at the 20, he's at the 30! O.K., now he's back at the 20, the 10." There are M.V.P. and viewer's choice awards. And there is a referee to call the action, such as it is, and deal with what the show refers to as puppy fouls. He cleans them up, on camera but without close-ups.
Taped over two days, the show has a production crew of about 30 people, as well as dog and cat owners, an animal handler, a veterinarian and a representative of the American Humane association to oversee it. The puppies are running around, playing with squeak toys and mock footballs. Whether they realize it or not, some of them actually do make touchdowns.

Paddy Chayefsky (1923-1981), was a successful television writer, playwright, and screenwriter, perhaps best known for his early works which focused on the lives of ordinary people, as well as other works with a more satirical bent.
Born Sidney Aaron Chayefsky in the Bronx, he took on the nickname Paddy after he joined the United States Army, where he also experienced his first success as a dramatic writer. By the early 1950s, Chayefsky had begun writing for radio and television, adapting a series of scripts for CBS Radio's Theatre Guild of the Air and writing original teleplays for the Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse, including Marty, Middle of the Night, and A Catered Affair. Despite his success in the medium, Chayefsky abandoned television writing in 1955 in favor of screenwriting and Broadway theater. His first film (and the first television play to be successfully remade as a full length motion picture), Marty, won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1955, and earned him his first of three Academy Awards for Best Screenplay. A theatrical version of Middle of the Night opened on Broadway in 1956 and was a financial and critical success. Notable among Chayefsky's other screenplays were The Hospital (1971), Network (1976), and Altered States (1981), which proved to be his final completed project. First published as a novel and subsequently adapted for the screen, Chayefsky referred to it as "an updated Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Although the film version was popular with audiences, Chayefsky had numerous disputes with director Ken Russell during the production of the film and had his name removed from credits; the screenplay was credited instead to Sidney Aaron. Ill heath interfered with Chayefsky's ability to complete numerous other scripts that were in development before the time of his death.
From the description of Paddy Chayefsky papers, 1907-1998 (bulk 1952-1981). (New York Public Library). WorldCat record id: 84688599
Paddy Chayefsky, playwright and screenwriter, was born Sidney Chayefsky on January 29, 1923, in the Bronx, New York to Harry and Gussie (Stuchevsky) Chayefsky. A veteran of the New York City public school system, he attended Dewitt Clinton High School, and then the City College of New York. After graduating with a degree in accounting he joined the United States Army, where he took on the nickname Paddy. He served in the 104th Infantry Division in the European Theatre and was wounded, reportedly by a land mine, near Aachen, Germany.
While recovering from his injuries in the Army Hospital near Cirencester, England, he penned the book and lyrics to a musical called No T.O. for Love, which was first produced by the Special Services Unit in 1945, and toured Army bases all over Europe over the next two years. So successful was this debut that the show was brought to London, where it opened at the Scala Theatre in the West End. During the London production of No T.O. for Love, Chayefsky met Josh Logan, who would later work with him on his television and theatrical projects, as well Garson Kanin, who invited him to collaborate on his documentary of the allied invasion of Europe, The True Glory ; these contacts would prove critical to the development of Chayefsky's professional writing career in the years following the War.
Chayefsky did not initially pursue his writing upon returning stateside, but instead apprenticed in his uncle's printing shop, an experience which later formed the basis for his teleplay, A Printer's Measure . It was also during this time that he renewed his association with Garson Kanin, who subsidized the writing of his second play, Put Them All Together (later retitled M is for Mother ) which was never produced. In 1949, he married Susan Sackler; their son Dan was born in 1955.
By the early 1950's, Chayefsky had adapted a series of scripts for CBS Radio's Theatre Guild of the Air and written episodes for the CBS television series Danger and Manhunt . In 1953, he met Fred Coe, producer of the Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse, and wrote his first teleplay for that series, Holiday Song . Chayefsky's scripts for the Philco Playhouse solidified his reputation as a writer; they included The Reluctant Citizen, Marty, The Bachelor Party, The Sixth Year, Middle of the Night, The Mother, The Big Deal, Catch My Boy on Sunday and A Catered Affair . Additionally, Chayefsky developed a working relationship with director Delbert Mann who would later direct three of his feature films. He abandoned television writing in 1955 in favor of screenwriting and Broadway theater. His first film-and the first television play to be successfully remade as a full length motion picture- Marty, won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1955, as well as earning him his first of three Academy Awards for Best Screenplay, and the Grand Prize at Cannes.
A theatrical version of Middle of the Night opened on Broadway in 1956 with Edward G. Robinson and Gena Rowlands. A financial and critical success, it ran for 477 performances and spawned a national tour, paving the way for a film version starring Frederic March and Kim Novak and directed by Delbert Mann in 1959.
Between 1957 and 1959, Chayefsky released three films and a second Broadway show, all to critical acclaim. 1957 saw the release his final collaboration with Delbert Mann, a feature film version of The Bachelor Party, followed the next year by the release of his first original film, The Goddess, starring Kim Stanley. The Goddess earned Chayefsky an Oscar nomination and the Critic's Prize at the Brussels Film Festival. A few months after the release of Middle of the Night, The Tenth Man opened at the Booth Theatre to become Chayefsky's second successful Broadway venture, netting Tony nominations for Best Director (Tyrone Guthrie), Best Scenic Design (David Hays) and Best Play. Chayefsky's third Broadway production, Gideon, opened in 1961 at the Plymouth Theatre with Guthrie once again directing. Another critical success, it garnered a round of Tony nominations for Chayefsky and Guthrie, as well as for Fred Coe (Best Producer) and Frederic March (Best Actor), though once again they failed to take home the honors.
Chayefsky traveled to the Soviet Union with Alfred Kazin and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. as part of a cultural exchange program in 1959, and the trip fueled his antagonism toward Soviet censorship and propaganda which, alongside his interest in his family's Russian roots, found its expression in the play The Passion of Josef D. Unfortunately, his final Broadway production was a flop both with the critics and at the box office, and it closed after a week-long run.
While developing The Passion of Josef D ., Chayefsky was hired to adapt a script for William Bradford Huie's novel, The Americanization of Emily, which was released in 1964 starring Julie Andrews and James Garner and directed by Arthur Hiller, who would later team up with Chayefsky on The Hospital . The Americanization of Emily marked the beginning of a period in Chayefsky's career notable for its concentration on adaptations rather than original works. He collaborated for a time on the film The Cincinnati Kid, and shortly thereafter on Ice Station Zebra and Paint Your Wagon, though he was fired from the latter by producer Alan Jay Lerner. Chayefsky continued to work on original material during this time, however, and formed a repertory group with Burgess Meredith and Zero Mostel to stage his play The Latent Heterosexual (1968). The story, which dealt with one man's battle to keep his money out of the hands of the government, may have been at least in part inspired by Chayefsky's own brush with the IRS, but was also written as a vehicle for Mostel, a performer Chayefsky greatly admired. The play opened in Dallas rather than New York and received mixed reviews before moving on to Los Angeles. However, it was the deteriorating relationship between Chayefsky and Mostel that ultimately doomed the production, which would be Chayefsky's last for the stage. His disappointment with the failure of The Latent Heterosexual resulted in a fallow period in the late 1960s.
Chayefsky's next project was a scathing indictment of the medical community: The Hospital, starring George C. Scott and Diana Rigg and directed by Arthur Hiller. Chayefsky won the 1971 Academy Award for his screenplay, which marked his triumphant return to writing. The 1970s also marked a period of political participation for Chayefsky, who became active in a number of Jewish causes, including Writers and Artists for Peace in the Middle East and the Anti-Defamation League. His interest in Jewish affairs was reiterated in his creative work as well, taking the form of what he called a "political melodrama," The Habakkuk Conspiracy . Much to Chayefsky's disappointment, United Artists rejected the script and the film was never produced.
Although Chayefsky had been an early television pioneer, he had turned his back on the medium while it was still in its infancy, decrying the lack of interest the networks demonstrated toward quality programming. Over the course of his career, he had toyed with the idea of lampooning television more than once, but the concept would not come to fruition until his 1976 film Network, which presaged the advent of reality television by twenty years. In addition to a sardonic satire of television, Network dealt with the dehumanization of modern life, a theme he had explored previously with The Latent Heterosexual and The Hospital . The film met with the ire of many television executives and news anchors, and the acclaim of the critics. Nominated for six Academy Awards, it took home four including Best Actress for Faye Dunaway, Best Supporting Actress for Beatrice Straight, a posthumous Best Actor award for Peter Finch, and Chayefsky's third and final award for Best Screenplay.
Chayefsky's final completed project was first published as a novel and subsequently adapted for the screen. Altered States was a significant departure from his previous work: a story with both scientific and metaphysical ideas at its heart, it was a tale of man's search for his primal self through psychotropic drugs and an isolation tank which Chayefsky himself referred to as "an updated Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ." The stress Chayefsky suffered while working on the novel led to a heart attack in 1977, but this was not the last misfortune associated with the project. Publication of the novel prompted a lawsuit by one of the many scientific advisors hired to assist Chayefsky with his research. The lawsuit was ultimately dismissed, but at a great expense to Chayefsky in terms of time as well as money spent on his defense. When work on the film commenced, veteran director Arthur Penn, with whom Chayefsky had worked in his Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse days, was hired, but was later removed from the project and replaced by Ken Russell. The relationship between Russell and Chayefsky soon devolved to such a disastrous degree that Chayefsky had his name removed from the picture and was credited instead as Sidney Aaron. Though the film was ultimately popular with audiences, it was a personal defeat for Chayefsky.
Following Altered States, offers for adaptations and collaborations continued to roll in, including requests for an adaptation of Gorky Park for MGM/UA and Yentl for Barbara Streisand, but Chayefsky refused them. Instead, he turned his energies back to the theater, and began working on a play about accused Communist spy Alger Hiss, but as activity surrounding the 1980 release of Altered States increased, he was forced to put it on hold. Soon, health problems rather than writing took center stage: Chayefsky was diagnosed with cancer. He refused surgery, allegedly claiming he feared retribution by the doctors for his caustic portrayal of them in The Hospital, though he did submit to chemotherapy. He died in New York City on August 1, 1981.

What would be a good analogue with which to describe Message Authentication Codes to a person who has little to no understanding of cryptography?
For instance, a vault is a reasonable analogue for symmetric authenticated encryption: anyone with the key can open the vault and inspect, alter, or replace the contents. Without the key, you can't know or manipulate what's inside. Similarly, a royal wax seal is an okay one for digital signatures: anyone can validate that a message originated from the person with that particular stamp with assurances that the message hasn't been altered since the envelope was sealed.
Is there a good physical example of something with similar semantics to MACs?
Take a picture of the contents of a box.
Put these pictures in a safe.
Ship box and safe together, lock with key of sender.
Receiver unlocks safe, compares pictures with contents of box.
The safe and keys are already common for symmetric encryption too.
A MAC is a shipping note or delivery note, which comes in a locked box.
You need a key to open it, otherwise you can't see its content, and it has the be the same key as the one used by the sender. Inside, there is a description of something else, like "this delivery contains 173 kg bananas and 43 kg apples". If the box is undamaged and can be opened with the correct (previously known) key, then we know what the delivery should contain. If that's equal to the real delivery, we can conclude that it wasn't manipulated.
Here is a decent analogue: a hidden watermark on paper, activated chemically perhaps. Maybe the watermark is a pattern of dots. Anyone with knowledge of the watermark and how to activate it could verify the authenticity of the document, whereas anyone without knowledge would not be able to. I assume bank notes in real life have similar watermarks, although that is purely speculation.
Then someone without the key, upon coming across this case, could not verify that it was locked with a specific key, though they would know it was locked with some key. Someone with the "real" key could simply try to unlock the case, and if they succeeded, well, there you go.
This fits relatively well with a real MAC: the theoretical "algorithm" would be to use a case with the corresponding key(s). An attacker without the key cannot easily alter the document in question without alerting the key-bearer(s): any sort of brute-force physical attack on the case would likely leave marks on the case (e.g., saws, acid, etc.) The only exception would be lockpicking, but many physical analogues for other cryptographic primitives suffer from lockpicking too, so we'll ignore it.
There are a few inconsistencies, however: in a real cryptographic primitive, if the attacker has no knowledge of the scheme, the attacker may not necessarily know that a particular value is indeed a MAC tag. With the display case, however, it is quite clear that the document in question is protected, no matter how little an attacker knows. Further, with a real MAC, if you don't possess the key, you cannot verify the authenticity of the item in question. With the acrylic display case, you can pretty much look at it and figure out whether or not an unauthorized party has modified it: maybe someone took a bandsaw to the hinges to remove the door. That'd be pretty hard to miss.
On the other hand, as a third party looking at the display case, you don't necessarily know who have keys, so a bit of subterfuge could go unnoticed. Anyway, despite giving this matter a fair bit of thought, I have yet to come up with a better physical analogue, so take this as you will.
A padlock is a good analogy.
Consider a combination lock, where Alice and Bob know the secret combination. Alice can send Bob a message by writing down her message on a piece of paper, putting the piece of paper inside a metal chest, and locking the chest with the padlock. Then, Alice sends the chest by courier to Bob. Now Bob, who knows the combination, can open the combo lock and read Alice's message. No one else will be able to tamper with the message, since they don't know the combination to the lock. For example, the courier cannot tamper with the integrity of the message, since the courier doesn't know the combination. Here the secret combination plays the role of the MAC key.
If you want the analogy to be slightly closer to a MAC, make it a transparent chest (with no slits or openings in it), so anyone can see through the chest but can't touch or tamper with the paper inside.
A physical analog to a MAC would be a numbered tamper-evident seal, such as a tag used to ensure the cargo door of a truck remains closed. Such seals cannot be removed without leaving visible damage to the seal. They are uniquely numbered by a trusted seal manufacturer, who provides assurance that no two tags have the same identifying markings.
When a trucker accepts a shipment, the shipper takes a new tamper-evident seal of his own, writes the number on the cargo manifest, signs the manifest, then puts their product and manifest in the cargo area of the truck*. They then wrap the seal around the door latch on the outside of the truck and fasten it securely so the doors cannot be opened without damaging the seal. The trucker then drives the load away. When the trucker reaches his destination, the recipient examines the tag for damage, then breaks the seal and opens the truck door. He then checks that the number of the seal matches the number printed on the cargo manifest. The undamaged seal provides assurance that nobody including the trucker had access to the goods the shipper originally put in the truck.
The shipper buys their seals from a trustworthy company that promises to sell seals in the range of 1000 to 2000 only to John's Widget Co. This provides the authentication that it was John's Widget Co that bought the seal and sealed the truck shut and not someone else. A MAC uses a shared secret known only to the sender and receiver, and couldn't have been created by someone else.
The number on the tag proves that this exact truckful of stuff matches the number on the manifest, meaning someone didn't swap a sealed truck substituting "John's Cheap Widgets" for "John's TopShelf Widgets". The MAC tells the recipient that this message is the one that was protected, and not just any old message from the sender.
The tamper-evident nature of the seal proves that nobody opened the truck, just as a MAC proves that nobody changed the message.
The seal provides no physical protection against theft or tampering because it's not a lock, just as a MAC doesn't stop anyone from reading or changing the message. It just tells the recipient when tampering occurred.
The numbers on the seal don't tell anyone about the contents of the truck, just as a MAC doesn't reveal the contents of the message it's protecting.
* In reality, a shipping manifest is usually sent under separate cover, which is a significant difference between a MAC and a signed manifest sealed inside the truck.
MACs provide authentication over arbitrary bitstrings, but there is no decent hash function for arbitrary physical objects. I believe that dropping the goal of trying to be a general purpose "any physical object" MAC, you can get much closer to meeting the properties of a cryptographic MAC.
Here is a physical analogue of a MAC for optical lenses. I've imagined a world where there is a need to be able to verify the integrity of lenses sent from place to place, with analogous developments to what has happened in crypto.
There is a publicly known mechanism for validating MACs over lenses - a standard jig containing mirrors and lasers into which you place the lens, and a paper holder (lets say it's A4). Manufacturers can sell you certified jigs that are know to meet the standard.
The jig is designed such that the laser beams pass through the lens multiple times as they bounce around the mirrors, before finally shining on the paper (or hitting another non-reflective part of the jig).
The jig design is critical to the security of the system - many jigs were designed in the old days that had weaknesses allowing attackers to break the scheme. Jigs these days are typically developed by academics, then standardised by national bodies as a result of a competition comparing security, size and ease of use (speed) across the entrants.
Sender and receiver share a secret: a particular configuration of lasers and mirrors (which positions all of the mirrors and lasers are in, potentially which lasers are on or off).
There is a finite but very large set of valid configurations (which means that the jig supports lasers being in one of a set positions, not an analogue configuration). An example configuration might be specified as: Laser n; position. Mirror n; position. L1:45; L2:0; L3:90; L4:20; ... L15:0; M1:45; M2:80; ... M10:90.
Sender dispatches a lens (the message) to the receiver, alongside a piece of paper with some dots on it (the MAC).
The receive puts the lens into the jig (the algorithm), sets up the mirrors and lasers according to the shared secret configuration (key input), and slots the paper into its holder (MAC input).
When the lenses are on, if each dot on the paper is illuminated by a laser (and there are no lasers shining onto the paper where there are no dots), then the MAC is verified and the receiver knows that they have received the correct lens.
This is an analogue of a symmetric MAC scheme - generation follows the same process as verification, but blank paper is used and the position of the dots are recorded rather than checked.
Provided the algorithm (jig) is well defined, a small change to the lens will lead to a large change to the MAC, as each laser beam passes through the lens a number of times at multiple different points: by the time it hits the paper a small change in the lens will have a large change in the position of the spots in the paper.
(c.f. pictures or other representations of messages).
The MAC does nothing to stop an attacker swapping out or altering the lens or MAC - it just alerts the receiver to the change.
An attacker cannot derive the secret key from example plaintext:MAC pairs.
Without knowing the secret key, there is no practical way for an attacker to create a valid MAC for their lens.
A cryptographic MAC should be resistent to attack even if the attacker has access to an oracle that will produce valid MACs for arbitrary plaintexts (Chosen Plaintext Attack).
This scheme is not as resistant as you would like under these circumstances - the null message of a non-distorting lens reveals more information about the secret key than is ideal. It doesn't immediately reveal the key provided the jig (algorithm) is well designed, but you could imagine a small set of well chosen lenses that could give the attacker a significant advantage.
So users of this scheme need to try and avoid providing attackers access to an oracle of this kind - something you try to avoid in a real cryptosystem too!
If you want to also put the lens in a strongbox and ship the MAC outside the box, the MAC doesn't reveal much useful information about the lens without knowing the key.
If a wax seal is an analogue for a signature, then there's also an implication of authentication in it - i.e. the integrity of the wax seal indicates whether the message had been opened, giving a reasonable assertion that the message has not been tampered with.
By extension, other methods of sealing messages such as placing them in envelopes (which can be inspected to see show signs of being opened) can be viewed to authenticate the contents.
Your handwriting could be a strong indication that the message was written by you, although that's not unforgeable.
Another option would be to use custom-made or rare ink. The recepient can later use chromatography (with varying degrees of accuracy depending on the budget) to at least give a good indication that parts of the message were not altered. For example, scan the paper (to keep the contents), cut it in strips and dunk them in a bowl of water and observe the rainbow.
Or you can agree on some secret value (or group of values) $S$, assign a value to each letter and say the XOR of all letters is $S$. You can then add content to meet the target. Writing the code for this would also be an interesting excercise.

Nene Raju Nene Mantri is the story of Jogendra (Rana Daggubati) and his journey in politics. The film opens up with Jogendra brought to Anantapur central prison for death penalty. He reveals his last wish to telecast his entire life story on television. After the court approves, the story unfolds. Nene Raju Nene Mantri is all about the situations that led Jogendra to turn politician building his career in politics. The rest of the film is all about his journey and where his wife Radha (Kajal Agarwal) and tv reporter Devika Rani (Catherine Tresa) stands. Watch Nene Raju Nene Mantri to know about the film.
Nene Raju Nene Mantri starts with a bang and it narrates the hard hitting character of Jogendra. Some of the episodes have been well presented and Rana's performance takes the film to the next level. The songs and the love story has been penned well and the chemistry between Rana and Kajal is a treat to watch on screen. With a powerful interval episode, Nene Raju Nene Mantri is a treat with some interesting plot and engaging narration.
The second half of Nene Raju Nene Mantri dips down completely as the film offers nothing much. The overdose of sentiment and the slow narration makes the film fall flat. The songs too disturb the film's pace as they placed in the wrong time. The poor climax and a predictable narration makes Nene Raju Nene Mantri a below average flick.
Rana Daggubati has been outstanding as Jogendra and he performed to the core. He has been extremely energetic and steals the show. His powerful presence and dialogue diction are a treat to be watched on screen. Kajal has gorgeous on screen and her chemistry with Rana has been well presented. Navdeep steps out with an interesting role and he delivered out his best. Catherine has been predictable however she did her role with perfection. All the other actors have been decent.
The story of Nene Raju Nene Mantri has been decent but it is the witty screenplay throughout the second half that spoils the film's flow. The music and the background score sounds decent and the cinematography has been top notch. The production values look grand and Teja once again falls short in delivering a blockbuster with Nene Raju Nene Mantri.
Nene Raju Nene Mantri starts off with a bang and manages to stand strong till the interval. The much crucial second half has been slammed badly that it turns a bitter experience for the audience.

New research claims that disease in children due to environmental pollution is costing the United States $76.6 billion annually in health care costs and parents' sick days.
Scientists from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine looked at the impact of toxic chemicals and air pollutants in the environment on children's health.
They analysed a range of conditions associated with exposure to toxic chemicals, including lead poisoning, childhood cancer, asthma autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD.
The researchers said the annual cost of $76.6 billion in healthcare to deal with these health problems represents 3.5% of all US health care costs in 2008.
The breakdown includes: lead poisoning ($50.9 billion), autism ($7.9 billion), intellectual disability ($5.4 billion), exposure to mercury pollution ($5.1 billion), ADHD ($5 billion), asthma ($2.2 billion), and childhood cancer ($95 million).
Mount Sinai School of Medicine associate professor of Preventive Medicine and Paediatrics, Leonardo Trasande, MD, said: "Our findings show that, despite previous efforts to curb their use, toxic chemicals have a major impact on health care costs and childhood morbidity.
"New policy mandates are necessary to reduce the burden of disease associated with environmental toxins. The prevalence of chronic childhood conditions and costs associated with them may continue to rise if this issue is not addressed."
The findings are supported by research from School of Public Health at George Washington University which recommends a strategy to reduce the effects of toxic chemicals on health.
The strategy includes the testing of chemicals already widely in use and assessing new chemicals for toxicity. It supports strict regulation of chemicals once released onto the market and on-going epidemiologic monitoring of the health impacts.
Lynn R. Goldman, MD, dean of the School of Public Health at George Washington University said: "Implementing these proposals would have a significant impact in preventing childhood disease and reducing health costs.
"Scant legislation has been passed to reduce the risks associated with childhood exposure to toxic chemicals in the environment.

Angles: Should celebrities be canceled for their controversies?
In the last several years, the phrase cancel culture has risen in popularity to describe the trend of ostracizing or boycotting celebrities for their controversial and problematic actions. Those in the public spotlight who commit these transgressions have faced damaged reputations, severed business ties and public backlash.
Celebrities have been canceled for a range of scandals, including racist, homophobic and sexist comments, unburied offensive social media posts, sexual assault allegations and convictions and questionable or illegal actions.
Some would argue that cancel culture helps hold those with large platforms and followings accountable for their actions. With fame comes great responsibility, especially when a person has influence over the masses.
Others would argue that with the swiftness of social media, people have become too quick to condemn actions without knowing the full context. And there are those who would argue that cancel culture infringes on free speech.
Morgan Wallen, the most recent celebrity to join the bevy of those who said or acted in a questionable way, has sparked conversations on the effectiveness of cancel culture after video surfaced of Wallen saying the n-word in early February. Consequently, radio stations pulled his music from rotation and streaming services removed his music from their suggested playlists, according to Rolling Stone.
Despite the withdrawal of support, Wallen's newest album "Dangerous: The Double Album" has stayed at the top of the music charts and has seen an increase in sales, according to The New York Times.
No, issues run deep within cancel culture.
By Kat Elgersma
The problem with cancel culture is that it fails to address the deeply rooted issues within the industry from which scandals arise. In the recent case of Morgan Wallen, the real issue isn't necessarily the use of a racist slur (though the use of the word is objectively wrong). It's the racism within the country music industry and in the U.S., in general. If racism is a wound, canceling a few individual offenders is like slapping a band-aid on a severed artery.
In fact, in many cases, public figures who are canceled actually see their careers improve. Since the video of Wallen using the slur came out, streaming of his songs has increased as well as his Twitter following. This is a result of several factors.
One is that people who have never heard of Wallen or his music stream it out of curiosity. Another is his fanbase might be streaming more intentionally to show their support. In addition, his music not being played on the radio may prompt some to stream it instead. In any case, it goes to show that any publicity is good publicity.
None of this is to say that public figures shouldn't feel the consequences of their actions. They absolutely should if for no other reason than to ensure that we as a society are holding to our moral standards. However, cancel culture is arguably not about holding individuals accountable and more about publicly shaming people on the basis of misconduct of which many of the shamers are guilty. The focus is on condemning the person for doing wrong when it should be on educating the public on the deeper problem.
On a more human level, public figures should be treated as people who are flawed by nature. While people should feel the consequences of their own actions if they are in the wrong, canceling them fails to acknowledge that they are capable of growing and changing from their mistakes.
When a public figure does something wrong and gets called on it, how they respond is nearly as important as the original offense. People often forget that celebrities are people too, and like all of us, they make mistakes and are constantly learning and growing. They should be allowed to do so.
A person is not their past mistakes, and, personally, I think if they show through their actions that they are genuinely working toward change and personal growth, they could remain in the good graces of the public.
Ultimately, however, it is up to the individual or the community that has been wronged whether someone is forgiven or not. In Wallen's case, that would mean the Black community and especially Black country music fans. There has been discourse on this front, and time alone will tell if the actions Wallen has taken is a show of his genuine intent to grow or if they are a response to salvage his career.
Cases like these prompt many to consider whether or not art could or should be separated from the artist. In my opinion, it could. When an artist chooses to share their work, it is still their art, but if it means something to someone who sees, reads or watches it, then it is a little bit theirs too. Enjoying someone's work does not mean supporting everything they stand for. It's okay to like the art but not the artist.
We are at a point in our society that we have to acknowledge that each of our voices carries weight, and we are responsible for what impact we have. The lesson here is not to be so quick to condemn a public figure because that is the easy thing to do. Instead, we must use these scandals as an opportunity to educate ourselves and to promote real change.
Yes, controversies deserve consequences.
By Teague Schultz
Yes, celebrities need to face consequences for their actions. Celebrities are people too, and as such, are not above scrutiny for their words and actions.
There has been an emergence in the past few years of celebrities being canceled. Some have been canceled for things that are seemingly small, such as a politically incorrect social media post. Other celebrities, however, have been canceled after being exposed as sexual predators.
These two examples, disparate as they may seem, both have the power to end careers, and rightly so.
A politically incorrect social media post, as innocuous as it may seem, can have a far greater impact than expected. In the era of fake news and misinformation, a celebrity with a large following posting problematic information can lead their audience to inaccurate and false conclusions.
The firing of Gina Carano from the popular Disney Plus series, "The Mandalorian," is a prime example of this. After sharing a post on her Instagram story which likened the treatment of Jewish people in Nazi Germany to the current treatment of Republicans in the United States, Carano was let go from the series.
It seems the punishment doesn't fit the crime. After all, she is merely expressing an opinion. But that isn't the case.
What happened to Jewish people during the Holocaust is in no way comparable to the mere distaste some Americans feel toward Republican ideals.
However, much of Carano's audience share her views and would most likely spread this dangerous rhetoric of false equivalency. Disney and its fans were right to cancel Carano.
On the other end of the spectrum, there have been sexual assault scandals that include the likes of Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby and Louis C.K.
The #MeToo movement, which gained prominence in 2017, exposed the aforementioned men — among others — as sexual predators, using their positions of power to rape, sexually assault and harass both women and men.
It is indisputable that people like this need to be brought to justice for their despicable actions. Non-celebrities would have been tried and jailed, but due to their high status, celebrity abusers can keep their victims quiet, out of fear for their careers.
However, it is not only a matter of what is illegal but a matter of what the public is willing to forgive and forget.
Chris Brown, who infamously assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, is curiously still popular. Although he was charged with two felonies and the resulting public outcry caused Brown to lose several deals and endorsements, he is still making music.
In 2020, he had a song reach No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100. This is only possible due to the public's ability to forget about a celebrity's past, simply because they are famous.
Holding celebrities accountable for their actions is not wrong and should be encouraged.
Those who face no consequences, or very few consequences such as Chris Brown, are only emboldened by the fact that they can get away with these things.
The public's use of canceling celebrities is a powerful way to punish those who take things too far and, when used with discretion, keeps celebrities from using their fame as a get out of jail free card.


Babyteeth #14 (2019) : So, hey, welcome back, folks. How about that issue 13, huh? I told you it was bananas.
Anyway, look, I'd like to be able to tell you this one is easier or nicer somehow, but real-ly…have any issues of this book not been insane and weird? Would you even believe me if I said it was? No. You wouldn't. So, yeah, this issue is more of all that.

Sherry Lansing Biography
Name at birth: Sherry Heimann
As the head of 20th Century Fox during the 1980s, producer Sherry Lansing was the first woman to reach the top of Hollywood's corporate ladder.
Lansing grew up in Chicago and studied math, English and theater at Northwestern University. After her graduation in 1966, she moved to Los Angeles to start an acting career.
She taught high school for nearly four years before getting two roles in 1970, small parts in Loving (starring Eva Marie Saint) and Rio Lobo (starring John Wayne).
She then went behind the scenes — first as a script reader, then as a story editor for MGM studios.
By the late 1970s, Lansing had worked her way up to vice president at MGM, and in 1977 she jumped to Columbia Pictures to become the vice president in charge of production.
From there she moved to the top at 20th Century Fox (1980), where she had a successful tenure that included the hits Chariots of Fire (1981) and Taps (1981, with newcomers Sean Penn and Tom Cruise).
Lansing left the studio in 1983 and for a dozen years worked in partnership with Stanley Jaffe. Their successes included Fatal Attraction (1987, starring Glenn Close) and The Accused (1988, starring Jodie Foster).
She joined Paramount's Motion Picture Group as chairman in 1992, where she presided over Forest Gump (1994, starring Tom Hanks), James Cameron's Titanic (1997) and Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (1998).
Lansing left the movie business in 2005 and began the Sherry Lansing Foundation, a non-profit center for cancer research. She was awarded a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, in 2007.
Lansing married film director William Friedkin in 1991.

Q: Are those two proofs equivalent? I just finished the exercises in here: https://softwarefoundations.cis.upenn.edu/lf-current/Basics.html; however I came up with 2 different proofs for following exercise https://softwarefoundations.cis.upenn.edu/lf-current/Basics.html#andb_true_elim2, and i would like to know

*

*is my first attempt is completely non-sensical? While it works, it requires introducing hypothesis H : b && false = true which is obviously wrong. How come I am not stopped from introducing such statement?
Definition andb (b1:bool) (b2:bool) : bool :=
  match b1 with
  | true => b2
  | false => false
  end.

Theorem andb_true_elim2 : forall b c : bool,
  andb b c = true -> c = true.
Proof.
  intros b c.
  destruct c.
  reflexivity.
  intro H.
  rewrite <- H.
  destruct b.
  reflexivity.
  reflexivity.
  Qed.

*

*second attempt: No dubious hypothesis, and works.

Theorem andb_true_elim2 : forall b c : bool,
  andb b c = true -> c = true.
Proof.
  intros b c.
  destruct b eqn:Eb.
  intro H.
  rewrite <- H.
  reflexivity.
  destruct c.
  reflexivity.
  discriminate.
  Qed.

Since Coq is happy with both proofs, they are equally good (I doubt this)?

A: Having a False hypothesis is something common and not at all problematic in Coq. In fact, if you look at the negation of a proposition P, it is defined as P -> False. In other words, you can derive a contradiction from having P.
There is even the tactic exfalso which proves any goal as long as you provide a proof of False. This means that if you have contradictory hypotheses then you can conclude your proof.
Here is an even shorter proof:
Theorem andb_true_elim2 :
  forall b c : bool,
    andb b c = true ->
    c = true.
Proof.
  intros b c h.
  destruct b.
  - simpl in h. (* h : c = true *)
    exact h.
  - simpl in h. (* h : false = true *)
    discriminate h.
Qed.

I use the tactic discriminate which closes the goal by seeing that false = true is impossible because they are two distinct constructors of bool.

Boracay, Philippines The island of Boracay is known around the world for its powdery white sand and crystal clear blue waters, making it a popular travel destination not only for the locals, but also for foreign travelers.
What's the best beach in the Philippines? We always receive this question, and the always has always been Boracay.
But there is more to Boracay than its natural attractions. Branded as Asia's 24/7 Island, Boracay literally doesn't sleep. With its overwhelming popularity, hundreds of hotels have already opened on this tiny island, ranging from budget hostels to international luxury hotel brands. Adding up to those are hundreds of restaurants and bars offering different cuisines and caters to different budgets.
So, how do you get to Boracay? Where should you stay? Where to eat?
Pinas Muna has teamed up with Pepe Samson, Manila Eat Up, and @iameleimath, to curate a one of a kind Boracay travel and dining experience that will help you plan your next trip to Boracay Island.
For three days, we visited some of the best dining spots, enjoyed breathtaking vistas, pampered ourselves with world-class hospitality, so like us, you too can enjoy the Best of the Coast of Boracay.
Fly direct to Caticlan Airport The fastest and easiest way to reach Boracay is to take a direct flight to Caticlan Airport, the main gateway to the island.
Following the recent upgrade of the Caticlan Airport runway which now spans 1,800 meters, larger aircraft such as the Airbus A320 can now take off and land in Caticlan. Cebu Pacific Air currently has four flights from Manila and one flight from Cebu going to Caticlan which utilize an Airbus A320.
With each Airbus A320 having a bigger passenger capacity of 180, each flight will be more fuel efficient which translates to higher supply of seats and lower airfare.
To add even more convenience to you flight experience, Cebu Pacific Air has also launched its Mobile Check-in through the Cebu Pacific Mobile App [download].
Where to stay in Boracay COAST is currently the best hotel in Boracay according to travel website TripAdvisor. We stayed at COAST during our recent trip to Boracay and all the positive reviews are true!
I particularly loved the rooms which combines modern elements of design with accent pieces made with native, hand-woven fabrics. COAST has a total of 71 guestrooms equipped with five star beddings and state of the art in-room entertainment.
COAST is centrally located at Station 2 of Boracay's White Beach. Guests staying at this beach-front property enjoys easy access to the clear waters of Boracay and to the countless water activities that would surely put the Fun under the Sun. Also at the beach-front is Cha Cha's Beach Cafe, the resort's all-day dining restaurant which features well-crafted dishes and drinks. Managed by Raintree Hospitality, COAST provides world-class customer service with a can-be-done attitude matched with warm and genuine Filipino hospitality.
Los Indios Bravos is a gastropub specializing in locally handcrafted beers paired with an international assortment of pub food.
Must-try's are the Lamb Shank Risotto, the Veal Cheeks, Sausage and Mash, and the Fresh Seafood Platter.
Call any of the staff and ask for their recommended beer pairing. End your meal with the Deep Fried Mars Bar.
Website | Facebook | Instagram Solana is the sunset lounge of Shangri-La's Boracay Resort & Spa serving cocktails and spirits, as well as tapas-inspired dishes.
Make sure to seat at one of the cabanas where you can witness the famed Boracay sunset.
Solana is open to both in-house and walk-in guests. They start accommodating guests at 5:00pm daily. Cabanas are available on a first come first served basis.
To get there, take the free shuttle from Shangri-La's pavilion along the main road, located near D*mall. Shuttles depart on the 15th minute of every hour. We recommend that you take the 4:15pm shuttle.
Cha Cha's Boracay is the all-day dining restaurant of COAST. Located at the beachfront of Station 2, the restaurant serves international cuisine in a tropical inspired setting.
For the best dining experience, make sure you reserve a beachfront table where you can enjoy the refreshing breeze of Boracay. From the menu, we recommend the Cold Seafood Platter, and the Cold Spicy Salmon and Tuna Poke Bowl. If you are not a fan of seafood, you can try the Winner Winner Fried Chicken and the Sriracha BBQ Chicken Pizza, If you love the best of both worlds, the you should order Cha Cha's Mixed Plate Grill.
COAST serves one of the best buffet breakfasts in White Beach. The selection is not that extensive but you can expect only the most premium items from the spread.
If you are lucky, you might chance upon their famous Ube Champorado!
The buffet breakfast is complimentary to checked-in guests but is also available for walk-in guests at P550++ per person.
For a taste of Spanish and Hispano-Filipino cuisine, head to Dos Mestizos. Located just a few meters away from COAST, the restaurant is ideal for more serious drinking and upscale dining.
Website | Facebook | Instagram If you wish to see a different side of Boracay, do check out Diniwid Beach and some of its hidden dining gems of this area. For a spectacular view of the sea while having a sumptuous meal.
Perched on top of a limestone hill, you can take their elevator to ascend to the Nami Resort's in-house restaurant.
The resort got its name from the Hiligaynon word nami which means good or nice, or delicious when refering to food.
For starters, order the Caprse Salad or the Mesclun & Watermelon Salad. For your main course, we recommend the Pan-Seared Salmon or the Signature Seabass. Finally for dessert, escape the heat with their Banana Split.
Back at the good old D*Mall of Station 2, there's a place where you can satisfy your craving for burgers and more burgers.
Steampunk serves a variety of burgers of all flavors and sizes, as well as other sandwiches and milkshakes. After all of those seafood you ate, its time to feed that carnivore in you with their half-kilo Triple X Burger which comes with your choice of fries or potato wedges.
Other must-try items are the Sloppy Pulled Pork, the Chori Burger, and the Shrimp Roll.

Science chief warns on acid oceans
The UK's chief scientist says the oceans face a serious risk from man-made carbon emissions. The oceans absorb about a third of the CO2 that's being produced by society, and this is changing the chemistry of seawater. Sir Mark Walport warns that the acidity of the oceans has increased by about 25% since the industrial revolution, mainly thanks to manmade emissions.
He told BBC News: "If we carry on emitting CO2 at the same rate, ocean acidification will create substantial risks to complex marine food webs and ecosystems." He said the current rate of acidification is believed to be unprecedented within the last 65 million years, and may threaten fisheries in future.
The consequences of acidification are likely to be made worse by the warming of the ocean expected with climate change, a process which is also driven by CO2. Sir Mark's comments come as recent British research suggests the effects of acidification may be even more pervasive than previously estimated. Until now studies have identified species with calcium-based shells as most in danger from changing chemistry.
But researchers in Exeter have found that other creatures will also be affected because as acidity increases it creates conditions for animals to take up more coastal pollutants like copper.

With the start of the New Year, you may have made it your resolution to purchase a home, whether it is your first time or fiftieth time. Congratulations! Yet, buying a house (particularly in today's market) may not seem like an easy task, especially when dealing with a completely unknown seller. It is often a difficult task to trust a completely unknown seller (and sometimes a familiar seller - like a shady uncle ugh) as you have so many questions that you want answers to. The key is to ask away!
Buying a home is, for many, a substantial purchase and investment so timidity should be thrown out the door. We have a compiled a list of 10 very common yet important questions that every buyer should ask when purchasing a home. Have a look at them.
If you are a seller you can be fairly sure that these questions might come up from would-be buyers, inquisitively expecting answers. However, if you are a buyer make sure to ask these questions to your Agent+ (what we like to call a top-notch, diligent real estate agent) who can work feverishly on your behalf to find out from potential sellers these answers so that there is minimal confusion in the future.
This is the most common question that every seller should be able to answer. Every buyer is curious as to why you want to sell the house. If you want to sell in this market make sure to be ready to answer the question honestly.
What can you tell us about the neighborhood?
Buyers are often concerned about the kind of neighborhood they will be moving into since this will be where their personal time with their loved ones (from friends to parents to children and the like) is most likely spent.
It is the buyer's right to know each and every detail about a potential house purchase and a seller must be sure to provide the buyer with the pertinents. This typically can and should be referenced in the Seller's Property Disclosure form completed by sellers for potential buyers to review.
Was there anything that surprised you when you first moved in?
A buyer is always curious to know what will happen next once they move in. Whether it is surprising in a good or bad way, a buyer is always interested to know. So tell them your experience of moving in irrespective of what they were.
Is there anything that needs replacement or repair?
The seller should always let the buyer know before they even ask if there is anything in the house that would need replacement or repair. This way the buyer will be able to trust you and your chances of selling will increase. As mentioned earlier, this can be referenced on the Seller's Property Disclosure form.
If you are a buyer moving into a very busy, bustling neighborhood it can take a lot of time for you to figure things out and find the best places. Therefore, it is usually a good idea to ask your seller their recommendations on local hot spots before you move in.
This can help any would-be buyer gauge even further why a seller is leaving a home, which may uncover more than meets the eye in their response from your first question.
Have you had any work done on the property recently?
Sellers, any maintenance done on your home is a vital selling point so share this answer loud and proud, and do not forget to include this on that trusty Seller's Property Disclosure form.
Nothing can make a deal go sour faster than a buyer expecting items in a home to stay with the home when in actuality the seller plans to keep them. This can include things such as that sparkling crystal chandelier to the antique handles on the kitchen cabinets. As a buyer, if you receive the Seller's Property Disclosure form and certain fixtures and fittings are not specifically listed, you should not assume they were forgotten but are still include. Go back to the negotiating table and request an amendment to include what your desire to ensure all parties are clear.
As a buyer, this is the ultimate question to get past a "Don't ask, don't tell" standoff. Hopefully, the seller is willing to be open and honest to arm you with all pertinent details of your upcoming home purchase.

We take a look inside the new beta of IE8 that was released to developers today.
A beta of the eighth version of Internet Explorer was released to developers today.
Among the changes are CSS 2.1 support, CSS certification, HTML 5 support, new developer tools, activities and WebSlices.
One of the more heavily touted features of IE8 is passing the Acid2 test, and here it is finally in a version of Internet Explorer, on the default rendering mode no less.
Just because it can pass the Acid2 test doesn't mean that it can pass the Acid3 test. Although no other browser can yet lay claim to that either.
Rendering issues are to be expected with a new version of any Web browser that adheres to standards its predecessor did not.
Take for instance the video portion of the Builder AU homepage in IE7.
Here is the same section of the Builder AU homepage in IE8. The good news is that this was the only portion of the page that appeared to render incorrectly.
This is the lovely greeting that you receive when opening a new tab. Thank you IE, I had no idea what that Ctrl+T keystroke was going to do.
One of IE's unexpected quirks is the highlighting of the domain name that you are visiting. No doubt intended to prevent phishing — no idea how successful this will be if a phishing site is properly cloned.
Activities are a new way to extend the functionality of IE8 — there is already a selection of activities to choose from.
Add an activity follows the same process as a plugin, without the need for a restart.
Right clicking on a link with the Facebook sharing activity installed allows for sharing of links on Facebook, what did you expect it to do?
One of the more interesting features of IE8 in the big "Emulate IE7" button. This will set IE8 to render identically to IE7, however it does need a restart. I am not aware as to why it needs to restart when the next page shows how to change the render mode on the fly.
The new developer tools allows for quick changing of the rendering mode without restarting, as well as having the addition of an IE5 mode.
The developer tools also allow for inspection of the HTML code to deduce which styles are affecting what components.

They constructed the tower houses at Johnstown and Rathlannon during the 15th or 16th century. During the Cromwellian period of 1640s the estate was confiscated and changed hands several times before being acquired by John Grogan in 1692, whose descendents remained at Johnstown up until 1945. In this year Maurice Victor Lakin presented Johnstown Castle estate as a gift to the Nation.
By 1863 Johnstown Castle estate. at its peak of development, comprised of a large demesne of over 1,000 acres. It was divided in two with a deer park to the north, and the castle, pleasure grounds, home farm and two lakes (with a third lake under construction) to the south.

The tower, stands at 56 feet high and gracefully tapered, contains a mural stair in the south-east angle and barrel vaults over the second and fifth floors; above the latter rises a turret accommodating the stair head, a small apartment and the base of what was once a tall chimney-stack.
Dunbrody Abbey, was founded in 1170 on the instructions of Strongbow, by Herve de Montmorency (his uncle), after the Norman invasion of Ireland, (Bannow Bay in 1169). It was completed around 1220 and may have had additions added throughtout the years. Herve de Montmorency made a grant of the lands to the monks of Bildewas in Shropshire (England), on condition that they should build the Abbey, for some monks of the Cistercian, or White Order (they wore white robes), and upon condition that there should be a Sanctuary in the Abbey for all malefactors. Dedicated to "St. Mary the ever Blessed Virgin, and St. Benedict" it has sometimes been called the Abbey of St. Mary de Port, for the refuge it contained by the express condition of its founder.
Duncannon Fort is a star shaped fortress at the entrance to Waterford Harbour. It was built in 1588 in the expectation of an attack on the area by the Spanish Armada. The Fort is surrounded by a 30 ft high dry moat and has one of the oldest lighthouses of its kind in Ireland. All the major buildings in the Fort surround a parade ground. Spectacular views across to the Waterford estuary & Hook Head can be had from the ramparts. The Fort today hosts a Maritime Museum which charts the maritime history of one of the most dangerous coastlines in Ireland, the Wexford coast.
Each year military re-enactments take place at the Fort during the summer months. Artist studios displaying local artists work are also hosted on the fort grounds throughout the year.
Tintern Abbey was founded around 1200 by the Earl of Pembroke, who promised during a treacherous sea journey to build an Abbey if he reached land safely - giving the Abbey its name - 'Tintern de Voto' - 'Tintern of the Vow'. The Cistercian monks from the Tintern Abbey in Wales, colonised the Abbey in Wexford.
