Q: Stream Target in wowza I have implemented for creating stream target through php with the help of curl.
<?php
$service_url = 'http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/liveSource';
$curl = curl_init($service_url);
$curl_post_data ='
{
"restURI": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/testlive"
"stream_target": {
 "name": "defaultTarget",
 "provider": "rtmp",
 "username": "liveSource",
 "password": "Welcomehere",
 "stream_name": "customTarget",
 "primary_url": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/liveSource",
  } "https://api.cloud.wowza.com/api/v1/stream_targets"
}';
$headers = array(
  'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',
 'Accept: application/json; charset=utf-8'
);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $curl_post_data);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$curl_response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

echo $curl_response;
?>

But it is showing error as success as false with code 401
 {"message":"The request requires user authentication","success":false,"wowzaServer":"4.4.0","code":"401"}

A: If you are trying to create a stream target in Wowza Streaming engine, I would start with a simple example as follows:
<?php
// Modify values here
$entryName = "ppSource";
$appName = "live";
$streamName = "myStream";
$userName = "user";
$password = "pass";
$profile = "rtmp";
$server = "localhost";
// End modification

$url = "http://{$server}:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/{$appName}/pushpublish/mapentries/{$entryName}";
$json = "{
   \"restURI\": \"http://{$server}:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/{$appName}/pushpublish/mapentries/{$entryName}\",
   \"serverName\":\"_defaultServer_\",
            \"sourceStreamName\": \"{$streamName}\",
            \"entryName\": \"{$entryName}\",
            \"profile\": \"{$profile}\",
            \"host\": \"{$server}\",
            \"application\":\"{$appName}\",
            \"userName\":\"{$userName}\",
            \"password\":\"{$password}\",
            \"streamName\":\"{$streamName}\"
}'";

$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER      ,0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  ,1);
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "user:pass");
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
                    'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8',
                    'Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8',
                    'Content-Length: '.strlen($json)));
$contents = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$obj =  json_decode($contents);
var_dump($obj);

However if you are trying to initiate a live stream through our cloud api, here is a small example (only) of what your request might look like:
// Modify values here
$cloudApiKey = "xxxxxxxxxxx";
$cloudApiAccessKey="xxxxxxxxxx";
// End modification

$url = "https://api.cloud.wowza.com/api/v1/live_streams";
$json = "{
   \"live_stream\": {

     \"hosted_page_title\": \"MyLiveStream\",
     \"hosted_page_url\": \"in_progress\",
     \"hosted_page_sharing_icons\": true
   }
}";

$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER      ,0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  ,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
                    'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8',
                    'Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8',
                    'wsc-api-key: '.$cloudApiKey,
                    'wsc-access-key: '.$cloudApiAccessKey,
 );
$contents = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

This is obtained from the examples page and modified to fit into a PHP related request.

A sacred temple of learning where tiny buds of excellence are engineered for greatness.
It is a very nice school! One of the best schools in Delhi According to me. A child will surely have a great and fun time. The teachers are very caring and sweet. Me and my brother both have been to this school. We had the time of our lives. Totally a playschool worth going to. There are so many facilities such as:- Safe and secure environment Comfortable interiors & child - friendly ambience Air conditioned class rooms Insurance coverage for children Trained & experienced teachers.
Mongrace Montessori is one of the right decision we have taken for our daughter. She s very happy there. Environment is very friendly. Teachers, care takers are very friendly. They know each and every kid personally. Their way of handling kids is very appreciated. Thank you so much.


"Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools."
This Psalm describes pilgrims ascending to the house of God and in verse six tells us that they pass through the valley of Baca. In Q 3:96 the word Bakka appears as a name for Mecca. They identify the well in Psalm 84:6 with the well Zam-zam in Mecca which has ritual significance during the Hajj. On the strength of this, Moslems assert that this Psalm is a description of pilgrims going to Mecca for the Hajj. The argument that stems from this assertion is that because the Psalm was written considerably before the time of Christ, this would show that Mecca was a center of pilgrimage to the true God long before the time of Muhammad, which would hence support Moslem claims that Abraham founded the Ka'bah.
The word Baca occurs rarely in the Bible; it is also found in 2 Samuel 5:23,24 and 1 Chronicles 14:14,15 where it identifies a valley in which David fought the Philistines. The word Baka describes a bush, probably a Balsam bush but translated in the AV as a mulberry tree.
In 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles the valley of Baka is a valley full of balsam bushes near the valley of Rephaim. This is to the southwest of Jerusalem and forms an approach route to the city. The Philistines encamped in Rephaim to attack Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5:17,18), which shows that it is not in Arabia and David attacked Philistines who were encamped in the valley of Rephaim from the Valley of Baca (2 Sam. 5:23,24; 1 Chron. 14:14,15). Therefore the valley of Baka is near Jerusalem. It is clearly not in Arabia.
Psalm 84:6 describes a well made by the pilgrims. The well Zam-zam in Mecca was not made by pilgrims.
The valley is filled with pools of water by the rains. Mecca is very dry all the year round; it virtually never finds itself surrounded by pools of standing water left by rains.
The end of the pilgrimage is Zion (v. 7). This is, of course, Jerusalem and not Mecca.
The Psalm is in praise of the house of God (the temple) in Jerusalem. Verses 5-7 describe the last part of the ascent of pilgrims to this house; the particular pilgrims ascend from the south west through the valley of Baca.

Many have had questions about the VIP program so we would like to answer most common questions so everyone can know who we are and what we are trying to do. And if you are interested, we need more volunteers. Volunteers are your neighbors and they perform this valuable function on their own time. Our goal is to have two patrols a day/night and have no volunteer patrol more than once a week. If you can spare two hours a week or two hours a month, we could use your help.
Please contact Tom Clatterbuck @ 972.250.6880 for more information regarding the BTW VIP Security Patrol Program. Help your neighbors in keeping BTW a safe place to live.
The VIP program is an extension of the Dallas Crime Watch Program where volunteer members of a neighborhood patrol their own neighborhood. All VIP volunteers pass a background check and are trained by the Dallas Police Department.
What are the goals of BTW VIP?
Reduce crime in BTW by providing a visible presence in our neighborhood. Our presence serves as a deterrence to criminal activity. We patrol at random times, driving our cars marked with signs and a flashing light to get the bad guys to go somewhere else. It is just like a home security system. You don't want your system to catch a bad guy breaking into your home. You want the bad guys to see your security sign and go somewhere else.
Help our neighbors better protect themselves. Police report that one of the most common crimes is theft from home garages. The number one reason that a criminal selects your home is that you left your garage open. If your name and number is listed in the BTWHOA Directory, the VIP will call you anytime we find that your garage door is left open and unattended.
What doesn't the VIP do?
The VIP program is non-confrontational. Should a patrol see a crime in progress we call 911. VIP members are not police officers and have no special authority. BTW VIP is a security patrol serving the BTW neighborhood to make BTW a safer place to live. We do not report our neighbors for code problems or other non-criminal activities. BTW VIP does not patrol in unmarked cars, if you don't see BTW VIP signs, it is not VIP.
Since the inception of the BTW VIP Program, overall crime in the neighborhood has dropped significantly. It is clear that the efforts of your neighbors that perform BTW VIP patrols are paying off.
What can you do to help keep BTW safe?
Keep your house doors and windows closed and locked. If you have a security system, use it. Keep your garage door closed, even if you are working in the yard. Garage theft only takes a few seconds and most occur while the homeowner is working outside. Keep your vehicles in the garage. If you must leave one outside, keep it locked, and if it has an alarm, use it. Also remove everything from sight. To a bad guy even a closed empty box could have something valuable in it. Light up your house at night. BTW is very dark at night. Leave your front door light on. Also light up your driveway and alley. Motion sensor lights are highly recommended. Make sure your street address is visible from the street, and from the alley.

The "war that never ended" began 60 years ago tomorrow - on June 25, 1950, when throngs of North Korean troops swarmed into South Korea.
Their mission - to reunite, under Communist rule, a former Japanese colony that had been divided in the aftermath of World War II - nearly succeeded.
But reinforcements, largely American, arrived and launched an effective counter-offensive.
When China got involved, the war reached a stalemate. The fighting finally ended, for the most part, with a temporary truce - not a peace treaty - that has been in effect since 1953.
It was called a "conflict," but the death toll was terrible. Nearly as many Americans died in about three years in Korea (54,246) as in 11 years in Vietnam (58,209).
Decades later, the United States still has about 27,000 troops in South Korea, to protect the country in the event of another invasion or, more likely, to deter another such attack.
How much longer must they stay? They're needed in Iraq and Afghanistan, where American forces are stretched thin.
South Korea has twice the population and an economy that dwarfs that of the North. Surely, it can defend itself.
"The war that never ended" effectively ended 57 years ago.
Must another 57 years pass before all of the American troops leave?

Q: Git: Keep certain files in Current Working Directory and only in the latest commit I use .gitignore to ignore pdf files as the .git folder becomes quite huge after some time. I also use github as a cloud storage as I have to access my repository from different systems.
There is always some reference pdf files that I would like to be stored in my working directory as well as only in the latest commit so that when I sync to the other system, the pdf files become available. At the same time, in the interest of keeping lightweight .git  folder, I would like the pdf files to be removed from previous commits when I make a new commit.
Is there a nifty trick to do it automatically.
Please comment so that I could improve this question. Thanks.
UPDATE
pdf files can change from time to time, as some comments get added to the file, or some text gets highlighted (or underlined). The pdf file can remain at the tip of the recently updated branch. Basically, I wanted to access some files from every system without it being tracked.

Businesses say the practice closure of the High Street has been a big success.
They say the change has benefited the town's night time trade and increased football to and from North End.
A spokesman for Croydon Council said: "The permanent closure of High Street will begin in April. This will allow the road to temporarily reopen for traffic rerouted by the closure of St George's Walk for the R&F Queen's Square development.
"This reopening will take place over two weeks in the middle of April, during the Easter holidays, and will preserve bus routes through Croydon.
Councillor Stuart King, cabinet member for environment and transport, said: "There has been a fantastic array of performances and events entertaining scores of residents, shoppers and visitors over the past year.
The section of the High Street which has been pedestrianised is home to many of the town centre's bars and restaurants, including the Grants entertainment complex, Dice Bar, Nandos and several others.

Reasoning with Mr. Vegas
by Laura on Dec 2, 1999
I first heard Mr. Vegas in 1998 while I was in Jamaica. His sweet voice was all over: in the dancehalls, in the streets, people were making cassettes right and left. The men were after his style and the women took to his natural good looks. So, when I heard he was going to play in Oakland, I decided to check it out.
The day of the event, I confirmed that Mr. Vegas was in the city somewhere and although that's not always a sure-fire go of a show, I had a good feeling he was going to perform.
I arrived at the Continental Club and was surprised at what an incredible space it is. There is a large stage, 2 bars, an upstairs balcony overlooking the stage, and a capacity for over 1000 people. There were about 30 people there, but by the time I left, there were about 100. Tisha Luv and Joan Savory did a great job in producing the event on such short notice.
Zodiac Sounds were bumping amazing rhythms and I thought they were the heroes of the show. They kept things jumping throughout the evening.
At 10:45 p.m., the opening acts went on. Arlene Thomas from Oakland did two songs in her hip-hop style. Podeville Man Dem with Unda P and Enforcer came on next with flawless rhythm and unintelligible lyrics and JJ Johnson sang her smooth R&B songs. (She can be seen on Channel 26 on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m.).
During a long break, Zodiac kept the tunes blasting and by 12:45 a.m. Vegas went on. He was dressed in a bright red T-shirt, black pants and a huge gold cross hanging around his neck. The crowd was hyped. His set included some of his biggest tunes: "Hands In the Air," "Heads High," "Big Things A Gwaan," "Sucky Ducky," and "Jacket." He was singing alongside records, and a number of times he called to Zodiac, "Run the Revolution rhythm!" At one point, he even got off the stage to settle something going down on the floor, "Leave her alone," he said in a serious tone.
His disposition on stage was aggressive. His songs are highly charged with sexual innuendo and he showcased a new song with a shocking "She's a Ho" chorus. The raw lyrical content definitely got the crowd going and his dancehall bantering was well received at the club.
After the show, I had a quick chat with the 25 year-old star. His disposition was quite different off the stage. He was soft-spoken and reserved. Nicknamed by a cousin who thought he played soccer like a girl (more explicitly, a Vegas go-go dancer), Mr. Vegas began singing at the youthful age of 11. He began by telling me about his upbringing in Kingston where he used to cut class to go down to the studios, and his more recent encounter with having his jaw wired shut. A few years back, Vegas was approached by another musician claiming ownership of a DAT tape: "There was an argument and the person used a piece of iron to break my jaw bone. So [before this incident] I was singing real R& B stuff, like covers of R&B songs on the Reggae tracks. Then after the incident, I couldn't really sing like I could before, so that was when I went to the studio and did "Hands in the Air" and the rest is history!"
Laura Gardner: Do you see yourself as a messenger or as an entertainer?
Mr. Vegas: I see myself as both. I put messages into my entertaining, so it's vice versa, six of one, half-dozen of the other… I'm dedicating myself more to the ladies. Most of the songs that I sing are dedicated to the ladies… If I go out there, and there are just two ladies in the audience, I'll still try and please those two ladies.
LG: What kind of audience do you envision when you write your songs?
MV: Actually, most of my songs are street songs. I'm hanging with some ladies and hear them saying things about other ladies. Girls cussing out girls saying things. That's the way I write my songs, because if some girls can be cussing each other out about it then that means the girls are going to respond and go to the dancehall with it.
LG: Are you in a committed relationship now?
MV: Right now, I think I've got a little too much work to really be committed, because I've been on the road for 2 months now. I haven't been in Jamaica or elsewhere for more than one or two days, so, it's hard to be steady.
LG: Can you see that for yourself eventually?
MV: Maybe when the work slows down.
LG: Whom haven't you worked with that you'd really like to?
MV: I haven't worked with Jay-Z as yet, but I'd love to do something with him. I'll work with anyone – if they're a big artist, small artist, young artist—just as long as the music is good. Anything can happen.
LG: Any last words?
MV: Yeah. I'd just like to big up the fans and I just have to give love to everyone and please ask them to love me some more.

Q: Difference between [] and {{}} for binding state to property? Here is an template example:

Here both of them does the same thing. Which one is preferred and why?

A: Difference between string interpolation and property binding:
The main thing to understand it the following:

Interpolation is a special syntax that Angular converts into property
  binding. It's a convenient alternative to property binding.

This implies that under the hood it yields a similar outcome. However, string interpolation has one important limitation. This is that everything within string interpolation will first be evaluated (trying to find a value from the model ts file):

*

*if this value cannot be found there then the value within the string interpolation will be evaluated to a string.

*If this value is found in the model the value which is found gets coerced to a string and is used.

This has some implications on how you can use the 2 methods. For example:

*

*String concatenation with string interpolation:

*String interpolation cannot be used for anything else than strings
  <myComponent  [myInput]="myObject"></myComponent>

When myInput is an @Input() of myComponent and we want to pass in an object, we have to use property binding. If we were to use string interpolation the object would be turned into a string and this would be passed in as a value for myInput.

A: [] is for binding from a value in the parent component to an @Input() in the child component. It allows to pass objects.
{{}} is for binding strings in properties and HTML like

abc {{xxx}} yz

where the binding can be part of a string.
() is for binding an event handler to be called when a DOM event is fired or an EventEmitter on the child component emits an event
@Component({
    selector: 'child-comp',
    template: `

{{title}}

    <button (click)="notifyParent()">notify</button>
    `,
})
export class ChildComponent {
  @Output() notify = new EventEmitter();
  @Input() title;

  notifyParent() {
    this.notify.emit('Some notification');
  }
}

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    directives: [ChildComponent]
    template: `

Hello

    <child-comp [title]="childTitle" (notify)="onNotification($event)"></child-comp>

note from child: {{notification}}

    `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  childTitle = "I'm the child";

  onNotification(event) {
    this.notification = event;
  }
}

Plunker example
More details in https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/template-syntax.html#!#binding-syntax

A: I'm coming a little bit late after the battle :) , but, in my understanding, there is another difference which can sometimes be very important.
As its name implies "Property Binding" means that you are binding to the property of the HTML element "object"(which corresponds to its "objective" representation in the DOM), which is a different thing from string interpolation, which can be applied to the HTML element tag attribute, and which is the reason why you can only put strings in it, as you are talking to a not parsed/parseable entity.
Very often, you have a direct correspondence between both (the tag in your html has a foo attribute, which is linked to the foo property of the DOM object), but that's not a rule and you can have attributes that are not linked to properties as well as the opposite.
By the way, you have a very good answer in stack overflow which explains deeply the difference between both: What is the difference between properties and attributes in HTML?

THE FLORENTINES SHOPPED AND TRADED GOSSIP AT THE BUSY OLD MARKET.
August 24, 2017	The Renaissance 1277 - 1603
Lorenzo de' Medici was far from handsome. His skin was sallow, his eyes had a short-sighted squint and his nose was flat and wide. His voice was high and thin. Like every man in his family, he had the gout. Yet there was grandeur in everything Lorenzo did. He loved art and books, music and poetry and women. He delighted in sports, hunting and galloping across the brown Tuscan hills. He dealt with ambassadors like a prince, his palace was the gathering-place for the great men of Italy and his city won renown for both its scholars and its carnivals. No wonder, then, that people called him Lorenzo the Magnificent.
Visitors to Lorenzo's city found the streets jammed with people, and marveled at the splendid buildings. There were hundreds of shops and houses, dozens of churches and palaces. Even the bridges over the River Arno were lined with little stores and homes.
The busiest spot in all the bustling city was the Mercato Vecchio, or the Old Market. This was the gathering-place of shopkeepers, the men who were the smocks and fur caps that marked them as members of the lesser guilds. Here were the grocers with their little booths, the butchers, the fishmongers, the apothecaries and the barbers, who shaved their customers in the midst of the crowd. The most important businessmen met in another square, the Mercato Nuovo, or the New Market. It was not as noisy here and most of the men were dressed in the long dark gowns and bright hoods of the merchants. In the shops and under awnings, the guildsmen displayed the goods they sold to all of Europe — richly dyed wool and Silk, velvet, taffeta, damask, satin and cloth-of-gold.
Just off the New Market was the street of the grain-dealers and not far away was the Cantodi Vacchereccia, the street of the goldsmiths. The street of the hosiers displayed velvet stockings and feathered hats and lace. The Via Calimala was crowded with shouting apprentices, who wore the dress of common craftsmen, short cloaks and leather belts. The Piazza della Signoria, the great square before the palace of the signory, was the place for men of all kinds who liked to talk. Florence had fifty public squares and about 140 gardens and in good weather all of them were crowded. For many townsmen, the streets were outdoor living rooms. There the women met to gossip, their husbands traded stories, the young men sang the rowdy songs they loved and everyone played at dice and chess. Now and again they stopped to gape at a party of dandies and their girls who passed along the street. The elegant young men were wrapped in pink cloaks, their white stockings were fringed with silver lace, their fingers glittered with rings and they smelled of perfume. Their ladies wore billowy gowns embroidered and dotted with pearls. When they covered their finery with street-deals, they looked like bright-colored tents moving along the cobblestones.
There were other, less pretty sights along the streets of Florence. Ragged laboring men roamed the city in search of work. Beggars huddled in doorways and beside the steps of churches. There were dark side-streets, where workers spent their lives in toil that never seemed to end. There were poverty and plague, robbery and violence that began for no good reason and ended with death.
Side by side with the ugliness and cruelty were beauty and wisdom. Lorenzo poured out his money to bring artists and scholars to Florence. He persuaded the councillors to invest the city's money in great projects and the merchants and bankers followed their example. Florence became Italy's capital of scholarship and art — a place of splendid churches and great universities, of paintings and statues, of fine music and priceless collections of books.
In Lorenzo's time, Florence was also famous as the city of festivals. On holidays and during Carnival Week, processions of masked revelers and fantastic floats wound around the squares and along streets of brilliantly decorated palaces and shops. A central street was cleared for horse-racing. There were pageants, dancing and singing that went on through the night. Lorenzo wrote some of the songs, planned most of the pageants and paid many of the bills. At his command, the finest artists in Italy vied with each other in designing costumes, scenery and masks.
Nearly all of Italy's artists worked in Florence at one time or another. Many of them were trained there and the Florentine way of art became the Renaissance way. From every town along the peninsula came youths of ten or twelve or fourteen who longed to study with the master artists of Florence. If a boy was lucky' he was accepted as an apprentice in the bottega or workshop of a master. At first, he was allowed only to grind the colors for the paints, to polish the panels on which the master painted and to practice the art of "correct drawing on tablets." Later, he learned the complicated recipes for mixing colors. He was taught to paint the wall-paintings called "frescoes" – the colours were blended with wet plaster and had to be put on quickly before the mixture dried. After six or seven years, the apprentice was at last permitted to paint on one of his master's projects. He might fill in a background of sky, or, if he showed particular promise, he might even be asked to paint the robes of a figure or the gilded feathers of an angel's wing.
ANATOMICAL STUDIES, SKETCHES, DESIGNS FOR PAINTINGS AND PLANS FOR INVENTIONS – ALL THESE LEONARDO PUT INTO HIS NOTEBOOKS.
Painting was only a part of the training, however. The apprentice also had to learn to carve in wood and stone, to decorate velvet cloaks and carnival masks, to glaze pottery, to make the crests for helmets, to gild jewel boxes and to inlay furniture. An artist was a craftsman, almost a shopkeeper; he had to be ready to do any kind of work his patrons asked of him. Few artists were as fortunate as Luca della Robbie, who was able to specialize in just one sort of work. Luca made fine figures and decorations of pottery glazed in white and blue. He was so successful at it that he kept his who1e family at work in his bottega.
The apprentice artist usually spent twelve years learning his craft. Then he left his master, was admitted to the artists' guild and had the right to set up a bottega of his own. Some gifted young artists, however, did not need the long years of training. One of these was Leonardo, a youth who came to Florence from the little town of Vinci. He apprenticed himself to one of Lorenzo's favorite artists, the great Verrocchio.
For Leonardo da Vinci, it was as easy to paint as to breathe. Before he had studied long, he was allowed to work on Verrocchio's own paintings. When Verrocchio began to spend more time making statues, the wits said it was because his apprentice was too skillful at making pictures.
Leonardo was not satisfied with his painting. "I want to work miracles," he said. By miracles, he meant paintings that showed the thoughts and feelings of men as well as what they looked like. Leonardo began to study people — friends who came to his studio to chat, strangers who passed him on the street, men and women, young and old. He studied the movement of their arms and legs, the ever-changing expressions on their faces. He also became fascinated by nature – the slopes and ridges of the hills, the flowing of water and the movement of wind through grass and trees. He learned to watch the light and shadows that in an instant could change the look of a face or a mountain.
Leonardo filled his notebooks — more than 5,000 pages with notes and drawings of the things he observed and invented. When he began to understand how "nature's machines" worked, he tried to invent machines of his own. He designed drawbridges, mechanical diggers, a parachute and a life-jacket made of two layers of leather filled with air. He made several designs for flying machines, including one that was very like a modern helicopter.
LEONARDO AND LORENZO
Few people in Florence paid any attention to Leonardo's inventions. He was a fine painter, they said, if you could get him to stick to work, but he was always off somewhere tinkering. Lorenzo was not even convinced of Leonardo's talent as a painter. Leonardo was no scholar; his Latin was poor and his Greek was worse. Such a man, Lorenzo thought, could never be a truly great artist. Leonardo, for his part, thought that Lorenzo was too wrapped up in his old books. "Florence is too old-fashioned," he said. "Lorenzo has taught the whole city to look backward." When he grew tired of waiting for Lorenzo to give him projects to work on, Leonardo packed his painter's tools and notebooks and moved to Milan.
Lorenzo was more generous with other artists. To help apprentices in their work, he planned a sculpture garden, a park filled with statues which the students could study and copy. It was in this garden that he came upon a youth called Michelangelo and admired a little statue the boy was carving. When he learned that Michelangelo was so poor that he might have to give up his lessons with his master, Lorenzo offered him a room in the Medici palace a place at his table and the money to go on with his work.
It was true, as Leonardo said, that Lorenzo loved the past. He had been educated by the humanists, he was himself a scholar, a poet and he was fascinated by the ideas of the ancient philosophers. Nothing pleased him more than spending a summer evening sprawled on a hillside, sipping wine and talking with the club of friends who called themselves the "Platonic Academy" — Luigi Pulci, half poet and half buffoon; Angelo Poliziano, a serious-minded professor of Latin; Pico della Mirandola, a gay young prince who had fallen in love with learning and gobbled knowledge as some men gobble food; and Sandro Botticelli, a painter who had also fallen in love with ideas and tried to "speak" them in his pictures, filling his paintings with nymphs and goddesses who stood for ideas of love or spring or evil or goodness.
The leader of the group was Marsilio Ficino, the boy to whom Cosimo had given a lifetime salary on the condition that he learn to read Greek. Marsilio had grown up. He had indeed learned his Greek and he had completed the huge task of translating Plato's works into Latin. Now his translation was being read in every city in Europe. In 1471, a printing press with movable type, a German invention, had been set up in Florence. Books like Ficino's that once had had to be copied slowly by hand, books that only the rich could afford to own, could now be printed in great numbers and at much less expense. Poliziano, the grave Latin scholar, had said that the printing press was a dreadful mistake. "Now the most stupid thoughts can in a minute be put into thousands of books and spread around the world," he grumbled. Ficino and the other members of the Academy disagreed. They hurried to have their own works printed. Lorenzo, as usual, paid many of the bills and it pleased him to think how far the new books would carry the fame of Florence and its scholars.
SAVONAROLA'S PREACHING
Some of the city's hard-headed merchants grumbled that Lorenzo thought too much about fame and magnificence and too little about business. He might call it a Golden Age, they said, but the truth was in their account books. Florence was not as prosperous as it had been in the days of Cosimo and Piero. The war with the pope had been costly. Now the city's merchants were losing customers to the new traders of England and Flanders. It was no time for extravagance, yet Lorenzo went on spending. When his banks lost money, he saved the Medici fortune by borrowing gold from the state treasury. No one could say whether or not he paid back that money, but the government nearly went bankrupt and the good name of the Medici was lost.
The rumblings against Lorenzo were louder still in the dark streets where the laborers lived, haunted by poverty and sickness. Here Lorenzo's power, not his extravagance, was the complaint. Since the Pazzi conspiracy, he had governed Florence with a much firmer hand and many people began to call him a tyrant and a dictator.
None of Lorenzo's enemies was noisier than Savonarola, the fiery monk who preached in the great Duomo. Savonarola hated and called evil everything that Lorenzo loved — splendour, art, gaiety and ancient learning. In the new age of the Renaissance, Savonarola was a stranger, a man somehow left over from the Middle Ages. Like the medieval churchmen, he preached of sin and terrible punishment, of wars and plagues and untold suffering, of death and doom. He cried out to the people to drive away the villains who would bring the wrath of God on their cities — bad priests' selfish popes, greedy bankers and tyrants like Lorenzo de' Medici. The frightened people listened, hypnotized by Savonarola's flashing eyes and his voice that was like thunder.
Lorenzo tried to come to terms with Savonarola, but the monk sneered at his money and scorned his power. "Tell Lorenzo to do penance for his sins, for God will punish him and his," he said. "Though I am a stranger here and he a citizen, I shall remain and he will go."
In 1491, Lorenzo fell ill and Savonarola proclaimed that he would die in less than a year. At carnival time, Lorenzo lay on his bed, gasping at the pains that tore at his stomach and chest. Sounds of laughter and singing drifted in from the streets outside his palace and he remembered the carnival song he had written when he was young and all Florence cheered him as a hero:
Fair is youth and free of sorrow
Yet how soon its joys we bury.
Let who would be now be merry.
Sure is no one of tomorrow.
Lorenzo wondered what the future had in store for Florence and the Medici. He had two sons who would take his place when he was gone. He was sure that studious young Giovanni would do well. Lorenzo had chosen a career in the Church for Giovanni and had done his best to help him on his way. At thirteen, the boy had been made a cardinal by a pope who had a high regard for the Medici and their banks. The older son, Piero, was a problem; he was too proud. How would he treat the guildsmen and officials whose friendship kept the Medici in power? How would he meet the dangers that were certain to threaten Florence in the years to come?
For twelve years Lorenzo had given the city peace and a golden age. The cities of Italy lived always at the edge of war and in the shadow of powerful European kings who had long envied their riches. One day, Lorenzo knew, the foreigners' greed would get the best of them and they would invade the peninsula. The Italian states would be easy prey, for despite Lorenzo's pleas for peace, the other Italian rulers squabbled and fought each other and never tried to work together.
In early April, 1492, Lorenzo's illness grew much worse and the powdered pearls his doctor fed him made him even more sick. He called for a priest to give him the last blessing of the Church and asked for Savonarola because, he said, the outspoken monk was "the only honest friar he knew."
Savonarola came and some Florentines said that he gave Lorenzo his blessing. Savonarola's followers told another story. They said that before he would bless Lorenzo he made three demands: Lorenzo must repent his sins, he must give up the riches that the monk said were unjustly won and he must give Florence its old liberty by ending the power of the Medici. To the first two demands Lorenzo nodded his agreement. When he heard the third, however, he turned his head to the wall and Savonarola left him to die with his sins unforgiven.
It was said that lightning struck the Duomo on the day of Lorenzo's death. Savonarola cried, "Behold, the sword of the Lord!" Everyone took it as a sign that the Medici were doomed.
Piero, the proud new head of the Medici family, did seem hounded by ill fortune. In 1492, he took his father's place as the ruler of Florence. In 1494, King Charles VIII of France marched into Tuscany at the head of a great troop of soldiers, the first of the foreign invaders that Lorenzo had feared would come. King Charles did not intend to attack Florence; his goal was Naples. However, he was quite willing to accept anything the ruler of Florence cared to offer in the way of tokens of friendship. Piero, quaking at the sight of the army, gave the king the use of several Florentine fortresses and a ransom in gold.
The Florentines were outraged. The signory turned on Piero and the people stoned him in the streets. He and all the Medici were driven from the city, a mob attacked their palace and the priceless collections of books and art were stolen, scattered or destroyed. A few years later, Piero died in an attempt to regain the city he had lost.
Once again Florence proclaimed itself a republic of the people, but the new government was actually under the power of Savonarola. Repentance was the law of the land and by law all gambling and swearing, all rowdy songs, horse races and "vanities" were forbidden. Servants were encouraged to spy on their masters. Children were organized into "Bands of Hope," a kind of junior police corps, which watched for gamblers and swore to help stamp out such sinful things as dancing, pageants, love poems and music schools.
Carnival Week was celebrated with the burning of the "vanities," which included anything that Savonarola said was evil. The Bands of Hope roamed from house to house, searching out forbidden objects. Then they marched together to the square before the palace of the signory and threw the "vanities" onto a mammoth bonfire. Crackling in the flames, in the midst of plumes and pink cloaks and playing cards and carnival masks, were lutes and viols, books by Boccaccio and Petrarch and manuscripts of ancient poems and philosophy. As they burned, the clanging palace bells proclaimed the destruction of evil, while round and round the bonfire paraded the Bands of Hope and a mob of citizens, sobbing and singirig:
Never was so sweet a gladness
Joy so pure and strong . . .
Cry with me now, cry as I cry,
Madness, madness, holy madness.
All Florence seemed to have fallen under the spell of Savonarola. Botticelli stopped painting nymphs and tried to paint pictures that preached. Pico della Mirandola went to live in a monastery. Rich and poor alike shuddered at the thought of doom, swore to reform their ways, and the Renaissance city turned backwards, to the Middle Ages.
DEATH OF SAVONAROLA
Then the spell began to fade. The Florentines wearied of repenting — despite their hymn-singing and reforms, business was worse than ever. The pope, annoyed at Savonarola's insults and his politics, commanded the monk to stop preaching. Savonarola defied the pope's order. He preached, he said, because it was God's wish and he prayed to God to strike him dead in an instant if he was wrong.
WHEN THE FLORENTINES TURNED AGAINST SAVONAROLA, THEY HANGED AND BURNED HIM AND TWO OF HIS FOLLOWERS IN THE GREAT SQUARE.
Savonarola was not struck dead, but many Florentines grumbled that he ought to be put to a more difficult test. Then one of his most faithful followers agreed to meet a Franciscan monk in a trial by fire. If he walked through a fire and came out unharmed, his claims were true; if he burned, they were false. On the morning of the trial, all of Florence tried to jam into the square to watch. The fires were prepared, but until afternoon Savonarola and the Franciscan's friends argued about the rules of the contest. After that, it rained and at sundown the signory decided that the trial should not be held at all.
The crowd surging out of the square was furious. Savonarola had cheated them, they said — perhaps he had always cheated them. They turned on his followers and street-fights broke out in every district of the city.
The signory, too, changed its mind about Savonarola. He was a troublemaker, they decided and they ordered their officers to arrest him. He was tortured, tried and condemned to die. Once again the Florentines filled the square, but this time Savonarola did not cheat them. His belief did not waver as he stood below the gallows. "The Lord," he said, "has done as much for me." Then he was hanged, his body and the gallows were burned and the ashes poured into the River Arno.
At last the Republic had its liberty. Florence once more became a city of the Renaissance. Dandies put on their finery again and merchants took their favorite books and paintings out of hiding. People sang the old songs, played games of dice along the streets and talked of carnivals. Leonardo returned from Milan. He and young Michelangelo were both hired to paint huge wall paintings in the council ball of the palace of the signory and soon the Florentine's were boasting of the contest of artists and excitedly taking sides.
Nothing was as it once had been. The threat of war haunted the city. The foreigners had come once; they would come again. The merchants found the trade routes crowded with traders from other cities. The great contest of artists was never decided. Michelangelo was called to work on greater projects in Rome. Leonardo's experiment with a new method for painting on plaster failed, his colors began to streak and he grew discouraged and spent his time working on a portrait of a merchant's wife, Madonna Elisabetta. When that portrait — the "Mona Lisa," as it came to be called was finished, Leonardo followed Michelangelo to Rome.
Many of the artists of Lorenzo's day were finding new patrons and projects in Rome and in Venice, Ferrara, Urbino and even Paris. The Florentine ways of art were known, admired and copied in many cities now and Florence's name would be remembered as long as anyone remembered the Renaissance and the work of the Florentine masters. In Florence itself, the Golden Age was over. Even if the Medici returned, as one day they would, that age could never come again.

Robert Kennedy's widow, Ethel Kennedy, will take part in a hunger strike protesting President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy, according to a report.
Nearly 50 other members of the political family will be joining Kennedy, 90, during the Saturday fast, organized by activist groups in honor of the nearly 2,500 children separated from their parents at the US-Mexico border, the Boston Globe reported.
"We want to find a way for people who can't go down to the border to actually do something themselves at home that is concrete and creates change, and this is what we're calling on them to do," said Kerry Kennedy, Ethel and Robert's daughter and head of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, a nonprofit advocacy group.
The hunger strike will last 24 hours and participants are asked to make a donation to the organization Break Bread Not Families in place of the food they would have eaten.
Kerry Kennedy said her mom is "very joyful" about fasting for the cause.
In a statement, Ethel Kennedy said the executive order Trump signed last week halting the separations was "not a time to declare victory and go home."
"Generations of Americans did not toil and sacrifice to build a country where children and their parents are placed in cages to advance a cynical political agenda," the statement said.
Her grandson, Massachusetts Rep. Joe Kennedy III, will also participate.
"For children being starved of contact with their parents, the irreparable harm inflicted by our government multiplies every single day kids remain separated from their moms and dads," he said in a statement.
The hunger strike is organized by RFK Human Rights, which Ethel Kennedy founded, along with La Union Del Pueblo Entero, The Texas Civil Rights Project and Neta.
Celebrities including Alec Baldwin, Keegan-Michael Key and Evan Rachel Wood announced they would be participating, as well as both senators from Massachusets, Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren.

Give the People More Tierra Whack
Max Pasion | February 21, 2019
Her wildcard creative approach and undeniable voice of individuality quietly took the underground by storm in 2018. With a full head of steam and a more developed and dedicated fanbase, 2019 is full of promise for Tierra Whack, whose new single is eloquent proof that the young vocalist is here for good.
Last summer while mainstream hip-hop was oversaturated with the Drakes and Post Malone's of music, Tierra Whack was quietly exploding. Her incredibly concise fifteen track project "Whack World" was, impressively enough in only fifteen minutes of content, what truly felt like a world of its' own, densely packed with a plethora of ideas, voices, and landscapes. It executed the quick seven track Kanye model to an even fuller, richer extent and it showcased the incredibly quirky and diverse persona that Tierra Whack really is.
The accompanying fifteen-minute music video for "Whack World" is equally expressive and creative, making incredible bounds for short format in both music and film. Despite all the provocative questions that Tierra Whack's work brings up, the biggest and most baffling of them is just how she manages to do all of this at merely 23 years old. Her new single, "Only Child," abandons the minimalist approach at four minutes in length but still picks up where "Whack World" left off, showcasing incredible voice, production, and individuality.
Although the only children of the audience may take offense to the track's thematic comparison, "You must be the only child because you're so stingy," the attribution of such traits to the song's subject is incredibly poignant and relatable. The bouncy atmospheric guitar beat sets a gorgeous background to Tierra's cries for attention as the track retains Whack's common tropes of crippling loneliness. Among other consistencies, "Only Child" also showcases more of Tierra Whack's uncanny ability to make such daunting feelings of relational dread sound so damn catchy and accessible. This ability takes a stronger effect than usual, as this track's four-minute length plays out her ideas much more effectively than her earlier one-minute track format.
As "Whack World" set the groundwork for a mind that is incredibly vast and complex, it appears now that it is Tierra's time to elaborate a little bit more articulately on those same ideas. The only apparent flaw in "Whack World," although it is clearly intentional," is the abrupt feeling of disappointment when the infectious tracks get cut short at just a minute in length. Although the short format undoubtedly adds to the personality of the project, the feeling of the music getting pulled out from under you is undeniable, and it is moreover an extremely satisfying moment as a listener when the idea is fully played out in "Only Child." When the track ends at 3:59, we feel complete, fully expressed, at peace.
"Whack World" had an inventive format that in itself reflected the exact anxieties that Tierra Whack was expressing in the music, but now we get to watch that knot unwind in front of us. Tierra Whack's quite literal fifteen minutes of fame are by no means over, as the expansive and deep world of her mind still has endless corners to be discovered, vast journeys to be explored. Now that the smoke has cleared and we know that she is a force to be reckoned with, it is more apparent than ever that the world desperately needs more of Tierra Whack.

IFP Breaking Point
Barrage of allegations and uncertainty
Whatever may be the outcome of the unfolding political drama in Manipur, it is clear that all is not well within the current ruling coalition led by the BJP.
By IFP Bureau | Updated on: June 22, 2020, 1:11 a.m.
(PHOTO: IFP)
The N Biren Singh-led government is doing exactly what was expected–turn the tide of political uncertainty in his favour with a master stroke by his faithful—the assembly speaker Y Khemchand. The speaker advanced proceedings on disqualification of seven Congress MLAs, who crossed over to the BJP to June 18 from June 22 and made the BJP candidate Leishemba Sanajaoba win the lone Rajya Sabha seat from the state. While a lot can be written on how the speaker managed to pull the rabbits out of the hat, observers are still expecting a twist in the political drama.
On June 18, the Congress Legislative Party leader Okram Ibobi Singh met the governor Najma Heptulla and requested her to call for a special assembly session soon to pass no confidence motion against the BJP-led government headed by N Biren Singh. However, the chief minister on June 19 struck a defiant note and remarked "today we've seen who got the majority". Despite the temporal sense of victory at the moment, it is also high time for the chief minister to logically ward off the barrage of allegations leveled against his style of functioning by his own former party members who have joined the Congress and also the BJP led coalition's former partner National People's Party (NPP).
On June 20, former deputy chief minister and National People's Party (NPP) leader Y Joykumar alleged that since the formation of the BJP led coalition government, N Biren Singh has been opposing the naming of a common front with a common minimum programme. Under the BJP-led government, the state is under "Gundaraj" and those who raised their voices were put behind bars, alleged Joykumar. He went on to state that he was never informed about the financial status of the state even when he was the finance minister of the state.
His party colleague and former minister of health and family welfare L Jayantakumar Singh, while asserting the decision to stay away from the N Biren Singh-led government, stated that there was "no room for negotiation, no room for retreat and no room for surrender". He too took on the chief minister and stated that it was not only his party legislators who were disenchanted with the current government but also that the BJP MLAs were not satisfied with the performance of the government. Jayantakumar went on to allege that the health minister was not invited to frame state level policies with regard to COVID-19 pandemic in recent times. "At no point of time, the health minister is invited or consulted" he said and stated that it is due to such high handed policy of N Biren Singh, his party had decided to leave the coalition. "Our action is nothing but the reaction to your action, " he stated and alleged that even when he was the health minister, he was not allowed to enter the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) as the institute's society chairman was the chief minister himself.
Moreover, former BJP legislator Samuel Jendai also took on the chief minister in a video message. The former BJP MLA recalled that N Biren Singh was not the first choice of the elected BJP representatives after the last Assembly election. His candidature as the chief minister was "bulldozed" by BJP central leadership and consequently the BJP legislators were not happy about it. He also stridently questioned the claims of development under the BJP-led regime and said that the talks of "go to the village" or "go to the hills" were just government prompted and media generated slogans with no budgetary plans. Whatever may be the outcome of the unfolding political drama in the state, it is clear that all is not well within the current ruling coalition led by the BJP. N Biren Singh may continue to dismiss such allegations as mere imaginations of his former colleagues. As of now, the current dispensation is here to stay even if no one knows how long.

There are two different products the Kitchen Gallery recommends for sealing and caring your granite countertops. Descriptions of each product and application instructions are below the two images.
Use the Drytreat after the countertops have been installed. If you have the sealer ready for application when it comes time to install your new granite countertops, the countertop installers may apply the Drytreat sealer for you. I say may, because sometimes the sealer is applied at the fabrication shop before the countertop arrives at your home. At any event applying the Drytreat sealer is easy.
Use the Black Diamond Cleaner daily or as needed.
ALWAYS TEST PRODUCT ON A SMALL AREA FIRST and allow a 24-hour cure time to determine the ease of application and desired results.
Generously saturate the surface with STAINPROOF Plus™ using a low pressure hand spray, a clean brush or lamb's wool applicator. Surface should have a mirror like 'wet' look for 3-5 seconds. Avoid contact with surrounding areas.
Allow the surface to become touch dry, waiting a minimum of 10 minutes, and repeat Step 4. Total application rate is approximately one quart per 100 sq.ft. (one litre per 10 square metres), depending on surface absorption.
After the final coat allow the surface to become touch dry, waiting a minimum of 10 minutes, and then polish with a clean dry white cloth to remove excess product, moistening cloth with STAINPROOF Plus™ to ease polishing.
Use an organic solvent e.g. methylated spirits to clean equipment.
Sealer will NOT prevent surface etching, scuff marks or wear and may lighten or darken some surfaces. STAIN-PROOF Plus™ will make the maintenance and cleaning of treated surfaces much easier.
Avoid moisture contact with the surface for six hours after application. Surface may be used after 24 hours with full cure up to 4 weeks.
Keep away from drains, plants, water and soil. Do not empty into drains.
Use only in well ventilated areas. Use a positive pressure respirator if ventilation is inadequate.
Wear suitable solvent resistant gloves, protective clothing, safety goggles and an organic vapor respirator during application.
Keep container tightly sealed in a cool, well ventilated place. It is recommended that this product is best used within seven days of opening to avoid possible spoilage.
Granite is a high-end stone that is growing popularity with homeowners in the United States. Along with Marble and Tile, these types of countertops need a specially formulated cleaner to leave a deep clean finish without causing any damage.
Not all cleaners are safe for granite. You've probably used cleaners and left white streaks or thinned your countertop sealer. Sealing your counter for the first time is already expensive and if your cleaner is damaging your sealer, resealing every so often would be very costly.
Save money from resealing and effortlessly clean your countertops every time. Black Diamond Stoneworks Granite Cleaner is here to bring the true beauty of your home.
Don't let tough stains and grease stop you from having a perfectly safe and clean kitchen. Feel confident to prepare healthy meals on your clean countertops and don't spend too much time cleaning up after cooking. Spritz Granite Cleaner on your dirty counter and you'll see the grease and stains starting to loosen. Finish off by wiping with a dry cloth, no need to rinse. Make cleaning easier and stress-free with Black Diamond Stoneworks.

Q: Constructing syndrome decoding table I'm having trouble understanding how to make a syndrome decoding table. Part of the problem is I was told that a maximum likelihood decoding table was the same as a syndrome decoding table but they look different from the examples I've seen. I'll get straight to an example:
Say I have a generator matrix:
$G = \begin{bmatrix}
        1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 \\
        0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\
        0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
The parity matrix for that is:
$H = \begin{bmatrix}
        1 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
        1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
        1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
And the 8 code words I get from that are: 00000, 001011, 010101, 011110, 100111, 101100, 110010, 111001.
Not sure where to go from here. I know the syndromes are:
$\begin{bmatrix}
        0 & 0 & 0  \\
        0 & 0 & 1  \\
        0 & 1 & 0  \\
        0 & 1 & 1  \\
        1 & 0 & 0  \\
        1 & 0 & 1  \\
        1 & 1 & 0  \\
        1 & 1 & 1  \\\end{bmatrix}$
But how are the coset leaders found? I've also seen tables where it has an "error" column and a "pattern/position" column.
EDIT: I think I understand it, if someone could check and confirm I'm doing this correctly that would be great.
So I check to see if each syndrome is equal to a column in the parity check matrix, and if it does, I put a 1 in that column in the coset leader, and make a linear combination of the columns if the syndrome doesn't equal a single column.
Syndromes    ---------                      Coset leaders
$\begin{bmatrix}
        0 & 0 & 0  \\
        0 & 0 & 1  \\
        0 & 1 & 0  \\
        0 & 1 & 1  \\
        1 & 0 & 0  \\
        1 & 0 & 1  \\
        1 & 1 & 0  \\
        1 & 1 & 1  \\\end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}
        0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
        0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\
        0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
        0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
        0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
        0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\
        1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\
        1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\\end{bmatrix}$
If this is correct, what is the "error" and "pattern" I see other syndrome tables list??

A: Create a bordered table with a leftmost (border) column containing all the $2^{n-k}$ syndromes, an adjacent column with all the corresponding $2^{n-k}$ coset leaders, and a top
(border) row consisting of all the $2^k$ codewords that you have found.
Now you have an empty space of $2^{n-k}$ rows and $2^k$ columns that
has been labeled with coset leaders on the left and codewords on top.
Fill in the entries in this empty array by putting in each position
the sum of its row label and its column label.
Congratulations! You have just created the standard array for the code.
All possible $2^n$ binary vectors appear exactly once in this
$2^{n-k}\times 2^k$ array.
Conceptually, when you receive a vector $\mathbf r$, just find
it in the array.
The most likely transmitted codeword is the one labeling that
position on the top, and the most likely error pattern is the coset leader labeling that position on the left.  In practice
nobody constructs the entire standard array. Instead, what you
have done (a two-column table with syndrome and coset leader)
suffices, with the method being to

*

*Compute the syndrome $\mathbf{Hr}^T$.

*Find the corresponding coset leader $\mathbf e$.

*Take the most likely
transmitted codeword to be $\mathbf r \oplus \mathbf e$.

Prometheus Plot Holes
Posted on May 30, 2012 by jaycluitt
Warning, this post is literally nothing but spoilers for Prometheus. I mentioned in my review that the script had numerous plot holes, and I really need to vent them out, so I've listed them below. Do not read this until you've watched the film, and if anyone can fill the holes in for me please go ahead. I repeat, do not read this post until you have seen the film.
1. Why is David riding a bicycle and shooting hoops? Is he trying to impress someone? I understand why he's developing language skills, as he's researching things as yet undiscovered, but what's with the sports? He's a robot!
2. When Holloway sees the lines on the planet that prove the alien presence, why does no-one suggest scoping the area out for a while? Even just a little fly around would have been nice.
3. What exactly are the holograms for? David starts one in the caves and another on the Space Jockey deck, but who are they for? They're useful for him and us, but who made them? They could be some kind of ship's log, but if so couldn't someone have said that in one line of dialogue?
4. When Shaw, Holloway, David and Ford flee the caves, outside there's two go-karts and a minibus. Two get on each of the karts, and no-one gets into the bus, yet they all drive off (at the time we assume Fifield and Millburn are in there). Who is driving it? You could argue that there's a nameless crew member that stayed behind as a driver, and headed off to avoid the storm slightly too early for the others to get in, but there's no proof of this.
5. Once David has rescued Shaw and Holloway, Janek mentions they don't know where Fifield and Millburn are, but there's a map showing their position! He uses it in the next scene. Plus, Janek seems pretty lackadaisical about two members of the crew being stranded on an alien planet. He practically says LOL. Also, how convenient is it that everyone has a surname beginning with a different letter?
6. Why does David cave in to Vickers' threats? He's a robot, there's not a lot she could do to him.
7. Millburn the biologist is supposedly cowardly, as he is easily convinced by Fifield to run away at the site of a decapitated body (understandable), and later when he hears there's a lifeform somewhere nearby, he says he's heading in the opposite direction. So why, when he and Fifield go to the vase chamber, does he suddenly want to make friends with the alien there? He can't even see the entire creature, so for all he knows it's some giant beasty with a strange proboscis. Why did they even decide to stay in the cave full of weird bubbling vases anyway? It's the exact room, with the dead decapitated body outside of it, that they ran away from earlier.
8. Millburn and Fifield die when no-one is watching the monitors, because Vickers and Janek are getting it on in her quarters, right? Firstly, how come Janek didn't order someone else to watch the monitors, and secondly, even if no-one was there, don't these guys have TiVo? Just rewind the feed and see what happened. We have it in 2012; I'm guessing it's still around in 2094.
9. Why did Janek, the captain and pilot of the ship, go to investigate the disappearance of Millburn and Fifield? Surely he's pretty integral to the running of the ship.
10.What exactly was David's plan with the black goo? He gave some to Holloway in his drink; did he know he would have sex with Shaw and impregnate her with an alien? If so, why did he do that too? Was he curious, or trying to kill Holloway? Why?
11.Why did the infected Fifield come back to the ship to try and kill everyone? He was the one character I really wanted to die, and he's the only one who came back to life! Typical. I thought Millburn would have come back with a chest-burster in him, seeing as an alien went down his throat and Fifield had his face melted with acid. Also, why did they go out and investigate Fifield's clearly dead body (the helmet is smashed with a deadly atmosphere, and his legs are bent over his shoulders) seeing as there's no way he could have just turned up there on his own, being dead and all.
12.Why does David tell Shaw she is pregnant? If he wanted an alien specimen, surely telling her will just make her try and abort it, and if he wanted to kill her, then not telling her will result in the alien bursting through her stomach and killing her that way. Being pregnant with a baby alien was probably the last thing she was expecting, especially seeing as she was barren and had only had sex 10 hours ago and not before for 28 months.
13.After she wakes up from being sedated by David, Shaw finds it pretty easy to escape from the medics and run to Vickers' quarters with no-one chasing her. No-one comes for the entire time she is in there.
14.After the impromptu caesarean I could have done with a scene of Shaw breaking down from the intensity of what she'd just gone through. In the past few hours she'd lost her husband, found out she was pregnant when she thought she was barren, discovered the 'child' was in fact a killer alien, had a caesarean whilst fully awake and watching it, had the cut literally stapled shut and then fought the creature that had just gestated inside her. I'd say that warrants a little exasperation.
15.Did I miss a scene where everyone on board found out about, and was cool with, Peter Weyland being on board the ship? After Shaw's surgery the rest of the crew seems OK with him being there. It was pretty damn obvious he was going to be onboard too, seeing Guy Pearce was highly billed in the opening credits. Stop doing that kind of thing. And making Vickers his daughter is pointless, unsurprising and ridiculous.
16.Ripping David the android's head off is a nice nod to Ash's fate in Alien, but is it possible for a robot to survive one of these films? Please?
17.When Vickers and Shaw are running from the crashing spaceship, why in the name of LV426 do they not run sideways? I hate when films do this. There's something rolling behind you in a relatively straight line, so instead of getting out of the way you decide to race it. Insane. Shaw only survives because she trips and rolls out the way. I did like that the last two alive were the two main women, just like in Alien, and similarly the blonde dies and the brunette survives.
18.Shaw's air supply is supposedly running out at the end of the film, yet she's barely been away from the ship. Earlier, Fifield and Millburn were away for longer, and were expected to survive overnight when they got stranded. Yes, they were in the chambers with breathable atmosphere, but they had to keep their helmets up because it was going to get cold, so they must have had to survive on their own air supplies.
19.The alien that Shaw had aborted grows pretty fucking huge seeing as it's had no organic matter to feed on other than a little blood Shaw left behind.
20.At the end, Shaw is told that there are other ships. Does she check them all for surviving Engineers, or just leave in the first ship she finds? I'd have much preferred that the final shot be of her silhouette, with an axe in one hand and David decapitated head in the other, heading off to take out the surviving aliens.
Wow, I didn't realise I had so many problems with the script. Am I being too harsh? Or stupid? Was a lot of this explained? Let me know.
*EDIT* Thanks to everyone for all the comments and page views so far, the response I've had from this is phenomenal. It turns out my list of plot holes wasn't quite complete, and many of you have posed a few more. I've tried to give credit where it's due, but apologies if I've left someone off. Also, some of these get a bit science-y, and I've not researched any of the theories, so please don't shout at me if they're wrong. Sections in brackets are from me.
21. How exactly did they manage to reanimate a head that'd be dead for several thousand years? I'm pretty sure in 77 years time that technology isn't going to be available. Also, why did it explode? – Anon
22. Organic molecules do not form in oxygen-rich running water. – Anon
23. It'd be nice if they'd clarified at some point why the Hell the Engineers wanted to kill humans, and why did they think that the black goo, which creates a completely different, far more dangerous race, would be the best way to do it? (Personally I think it was for sport.) – J/Michael Shaw
24. The DNA was a perfect match, yet the Engineers are big, bald and pale. (My personal theory is that had the physical differences are due to environmental differences between Earth and LV-223 in terms of gravity, proximity to the Sun, etc.) – J
25. If the Engineers created humans, did they also create all the other life on Earth? From what, and how are they all different? Did all the different species evolve from that one Engineer? If so, how are we all different? – J/areanimator
26. The crew are really very unprofessional and lacking in protocol for such an important and well funded mission. (Perhaps these were the only people willing to sacrifice 5 years of their lives for a wild goose chase.) – Anon
27. Could they not have detected the oncoming storm, seeing as they just arrived from space? And don't they have larger versions of Fifield's 'puppies' they could send down to scout out the terrain first? (Hell, can't they send the 'puppies' into the caves from the safety of the ship? There could have been aliens waiting just inside the cave for them.) – Anon
28. You can't run around after having your body cut open to your uterus, even if the wound was closed with some stitches. Your body goes into complete shock, the stitches cannot make up for the fact tissue was cut and muscles were cut which are essential for your core, and by extension for your body to perform any kind of walking movement. – Anon
29. The two co-pilots at the end didn't really need to kill themselves. They say Janek is a bad pilot (really? Weyland paid a fortune for a crappy captain?) but he doesn't really do a lot of piloting, in fact he even says "Hands off" of the steering to crash into the ship. There's also apparently a member of Weyland's security who doesn't go down to the planet with Weyland and co, who Janek is essentially killing at that point too, but fair enough it's for the good of humanity. – Anon
30. Why do the cryo-beds have a function that allows David to see their dreams? (Possibly to see if they're in distress or suffering some kind of psychological trauma from the cryo-sleep, but that's a stretch). – Beta Max
31. Why was the medical machine only male-calibrated? OK, it was probably there to operate on Weyland, but it makes little sense to make machinery just for men or women. – Anon
32. How did the Engineer survive the toxic LV-223 atmosphere without a helmet when he attacks Shaw at the end? He must have needed the helmet to breathe, yet made it from the crashed ship to Vickers' crashed pod pretty easily. – Anon
33. Why was it a secret that Weyland was on his ship, and why was it pegged as a surprise reveal that Vickers' was his daughter? (Hollywood tension-generating bullshit.) – Anon
34. Why did the Engineers point all the ancient civilisations towards a military installation? (My guess: the Engineers thought we might have come back all guns blazing, so sent us to a battle-ready moon/planet instead of their home world.) – Anon
35. Once they discover that the Engineers have the same DNA as humans, they don't make the logical connection that what killed the Engineers will probably kill the humans too, and no extra quarantine methods or safety precautions are put in place. – Areanimator
36. The Engineers were running away from something, yet ran towards a room full of deadly black goo that presumably they manufactured. (The room had the giant stone head in, meaning it could be of religious importance, and they thought prayer was their only option at that point. Alternatively, they may have been running towards the room to trap the black goo inside.) – Areanimator
37. The hologram of Earth resembles modern Earth, rather than how it looked at the damn of man. –The Movie Waffler
38. Why did Weyland think he could just rock up to an alien moon, have a nice chat with the Engineers and that they could give him immortality? (He was nearly dead, so was probably grasping at whatever straws he could reach.) – Anon
39. Apparently the Engineers were trying to leave LV-223 because it had all gone wrong, but how? There was no trace of active aliens on the planet. (They may have been trying to seal off the experiment going wrong into the cave with the vases, but one Engineer tripped and got decapitated by the door?) – Lisa
40. After decapitation, David's head manages to stay pretty damn close to his body, even after takeoff, crashing and rolling all over the place. Seems pretty unlikely unless the white 'blood' is a damn good glue. – Christophe Abi Akle

Be fair, it's more than 2. I've had this debate with someone else, and most of them can be read as being plot holes, and very few of them were resolved in the script to my knowledge. Plus, the characters having different lettered surnames was more of an aside on another point, and was just something I found amusing, before realising that in fact there was a character called Ford (Kate Dickie) who was in the caves at the same time as Fifield, so it seems Damon Lindelof would have failed Screenwriting 101.

When they checked the age of the aliens head (or helmet really…)You can't use carbon dating on creatures in an alien atmosphere. Carbon dating works on earth due to that sun rays are creating C-14 in the same pace as they are decaying for a certain concentration of C-14. This concentration needs to be known in order to use carbon dating. The atmosphere in the alien ship is totally new to the crew and if no new c-14 is created within this ship its fair to assume that the c-14 would decrease in the air in the same rate as in the dead bodies./Oderion

One question that is driving me insane. Did I miss something? Because I'm 100% positive that after the alien ship nearly landed on Shaw and Vikers, Shaw's suit said "warning, 2 minutes of oxygen remaining" before she made her way back to the ship, was attacked by the alien guy, then went back outside. It was already more then 5 minutes after the suit had gave her the warning, yet she was able to breathe perfectly fine, and even make her way all the way back over to the alien ship? I get that they can breathe inside the alien ship, but to my understanding they could not outdoors, which is why they kept putting their helmets back on when heading back to the ship. Did I miss something? Did she manage to refill her oxygen supply when she got back to their ship, or are we just supposed to assume that she did or she changed suits? lol.

re: #29>but he doesn't really do a lot of piloting, in fact he even says "Hands off" of the steering to crash into the ship.In motor racing it is standard procedure to take your hands off the steering wheel when you realise you are going to crash. This prevents your wrist from being broken due to high g-forces when you slam into something.Since the three guys know nothing much of them will remain after the crash, this "Hands off!"-command is actually not the worst of jokes.

Why is it that this film is under such a microscope? People are clamoring to point out any little questionable detail like the bratty kid at a magic show. Hardly any of these are plot holes – and it ain't like the original films were perfect either. It's this film and TDKR. Like for some reason people got it in their heads that these films were inherently infallible, and feel proud picking them apart to excess. And most of the time their claims are nothing more than stupid questions/assumptions that could have a million possible answers. It's getting pretty boring.

David needed the dream reader to communicate with Weyland, who was too weak to wake. There's a scene where David is shown communicating with Weyland using the dream helmet. Spying on the dreams of the others was just curiosity/fun. It is implied that if he had wanted to, David could have had in-dream conversations with any of the crew members at any time; instead, he chooser to be a passive observer, likely to try to gain an upper hand over the humans that constantly treated him like shit.
