 Write an analysis on Cleveland's offense in Game 1 of The Finals against the Golden State Warriors.

OAKLAND, Calif. — You would think that the team facing the Golden State Warriors in The Finals would want to slow the pace down.
But Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said Friday that he wants his team to play faster in Game 2 on Sunday (8 p.m. ET, ABC).
It may seem silly for the Cavs to try to play at the Warriors’ pace, but offensive pace and defensive pace are two separate things. The Cavs can do their best to slow down the Warriors while also getting into their offense earlier.
And the numbers say that the latter would be prudent. League-wide, shooting percentage goes down with the shot clock. And in Game 1, there was a big difference between the shots the Cavs got in the first 12 seconds of the shot clock and the shots they got in the last 12 seconds.
In the initial shot clock (not counting shots after an offensive rebound or situations where the shot clock was off), Cleveland shot 52 percent in the first 12 seconds of the clock and only 36 percent in the last 12 seconds, according to SportVU.
But the Cavs took more than twice as many shots late in the clock as they did early in the clock on Thursday. In the regular season, the Cavs took 48 percent of their shots in the first 12 seconds of the shot clock, a rate which ranked 23rd in the league. They have guys who can bail them out in late-clock situations, but Lue would rather his team not get into those.
Transition offense starts with a stop on defense, but Lue wants his team to push the ball off both makes and misses.

 Explain the scope and prevalence of pet shelters in the United States, and provide information on the penalty for animal cruelty.

Transitioning the world to 100 percent renewable electricity isn't just some environmentalist pipe dream—it's "feasible at every hour throughout the year" and is more cost-effective than the current system, which largely relies on fossil fuels and nuclear energy, a new study claims.
The research, compiled by Finland's Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and the Berlin-based nonprofit Energy Watch Group (EWG), was presented Wednesday at the Global Renewable Energy Solutions Showcase, a stand-alone event coinciding with the COP 23 climate talks in Bonn, Germany.
The researchers estimated that the switch will bring the total levelized cost of electricity on a global average down to €52 ($61) per megawatt-hour (including curtailment, storage and some grid costs) compared to €70 (82) megawatt-hour in 2015.
"A full decarbonization of the electricity system by 2050 is possible for lower system cost than today based on available technology," said Christian Breyer, the lead author of the study.
"Energy transition is no longer a question of technical feasibility or economic viability, but of political will," added Breyer, who is also a professor of Solar Economy at LUT and serves as chairman of EWG's Scientific Board.
According to the study, solar power and battery storage are critical parts of the transition. Falling prices will also lead to widespread adoption of the technologies. The researchers predict that the globe's electricity mix by 2050 will consist of solar photovoltaics (69 percent), wind energy (18 percent), hydropower (8 percent) and bioenergy (2 percent).
"There is no reason to invest one more dollar in fossil or nuclear power production," EWG president Hans-Josef Fell said. "Renewable energy provides cost-effective power supply. All plans for a further expansion of coal, nuclear, gas and oil have to be ceased. More investments need to be channeled in renewable energies and the necessary infrastructure for storage and grids. Everything else will lead to unnecessary costs and increasing global warming."
This is the not the first time researchers have suggested that the planet's road to 100 percent renewables is possible. Earlier this year, Stanford University professor Mark Jacobson and 26 co-authors published a study and created clean energy roadmaps for 139 individual countries. The chosen countries emit more than 99 percent of all carbon dioxide worldwide.
Existing renewable energy potential and technologies, including storage, can generate sufficient and secure power to cover the entire global electricity demand by 2050. The world population is expected to grow from 7.3 to 9.7 billion. The global electricity demand for the power sector is set to increase from 24,310 TWh in 2015 to around 48,800 TWh by 2050.
Total levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) on a global average for 100 percent renewable electricity in 2050 is €52/MWh (including curtailment, storage and some grid costs), compared to €70/MWh in 2015.
Due to rapidly falling costs, solar PV and battery storage increasingly drive most of the electricity system, with solar PV reaching some 69 percent, wind energy 18 percent, hydropower 8 percent and bioenergy 2 percent of the total electricity mix in 2050 globally.
Wind energy increases to 32 percent by 2030. Beyond 2030 solar PV becomes more competitive. The solar PV supply share increases from 37 percent in 2030 to about 69 percent in 2050.
Batteries are the key supporting technology for solar PV. The storage output covers 31 percent of the total demand in 2050, 95 percent of which is covered by batteries alone. Battery storage provides mainly diurnal storage, and renewable energy based gas provides seasonal storage.
The global energy transition to a 100 percent renewable electricity system creates 36 million jobs by 2050 in comparison to 19 million jobs in the 2015 electricity system.
The total losses in a 100 percent renewable electricity system are around 26 percent of the total electricity demand, compared to the current system in which about 58 percent of the primary energy input is lost.

Mayer said his department was working with the Riverside County Sheriff and the District Attorney's office to build an animal cruelty case against the woman.

"There is no excuse for dumping puppies," Mayer said. "Especially in today's age when we or other shelters would be willing to get these animals to foster parents or rescue partners. This was a shameful act."

The puppies, which are believed to be terrier mixes, were initially cared for by the department's veterinary team. Southern California group MeoowzResQ, which normally specializes in cat and kitten fostering, has agreed to take over their treatment. The puppies need to be bottle fed and closely watched for a few weeks, Newsweek reported.

The department emphasized that there is never any need to abandon puppies, Newsweek reported. There are shelters open on weekdays in the county which have re-homed around 5,000 dogs between 2017 and 2018, according to department data.

It is not yet known how severe a penalty the woman will face for her actions. California animal cruelty laws allow for both misdemeanor and felony charges.
According to the best estimates of the Humane Society of the United States, six to eight million cats and dogs enter shelters in the U.S. each year. Around four million are adopted from shelters annually, and sadly three million are euthanized. Of those euthanized, around 2.4 million were healthy and could have been treated and adopted.

 Hey there, do you know anything about the new Horizon Helpdesk Utility Fling?

Ok, normally I do a post each month with the latest and greatest flings and I will still do that tomorrow. Today though Andrew Morgan from VMware OCTO has released a fantastic new fling: Horizon Helpdesk Utility! But we already have the Helpdesk tool you might say? Well this fling is everything the helpdesk tool should have been. While it isn’t bad this one is way better.
First of all this fling is an app that you need to install on your own computer or a management server. It will keep its settings in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\HorizonHelpDeskAgent\ .net Framework 4.5.2 is required but most will already have that or a higher version installed. Installation itself is a quick next next finish with the warning that the signer of the application is not trusted, I have been told that this might be fixed in the next release. After installation you will find a new application in your start menu. I have already attached it to my start menu as well.
If you don’t have a trusted certificate you will get a box to accept that certificate.
Double click the correct account or session and the real deal will open up for you.
A possible improvement here would be some kind of checkbox to show only the users own processes because otherwise things can get confusing at RDS hosts. I’ve already talked with Andrew about that (actually the checkbox was his idea).
On the top left there’s a couple of pull down menus to allow for some actions on the session or the machine itself.
The remote control functionality starts windows’ own mrsa tool.
Despite running it against my own very small lab the tool seems to perform very well. I consider it for the few moments that I have used it as a very decent replacement for the original helpdesk tool.

 Explain what the Swords Castle Community Archaeology project entails and how people can get involved.

On Monday, 17th August a team of volunteers led by community archaeologist, Christine Baker began a month-long community excavation at Swords Castle. Since then, there has been lots of hard work and lots of finds to wash, sort and examine.
Swords Castle: Digging History, is the County Council’s first Community Archaeology project. It’s providing local people with a unique opportunity to take part in a real archaeological excavation for the first time. Working with a small team of professional archaeologists, volunteers have been digging, discovering lots of artefacts and learning how to ‘do’ archaeology. Most of the artefacts found so far are from the nineteenth century like the clay pipes made by Downey Brothers of 8 Brunswick Street Dublin, but on only the second day of the dig volunteers found a piece of a medieval ridge tile – a very exciting find.
The excavation programme is designed to answer specific questions which remain about the Castle. Although Swords Castle is one of the best surviving examples of an archbishop’s residence in the country, and was an important administrative centre, there are some questions that remain unanswered: Is there a graveyard underneath the Castle? Were there buildings within the Castle yard? How old are the different buildings in the complex? Through this project, we hope to answer at least some of these questions. The results will not only tell us more about the Castle’s 800 year history, it will also inform the future development of the Castle as the Council implements the Swords Castle Conservation Plan published in 2014. Excavation takes place each weekday until 11th September and the Council is looking for volunteers to come along and join the team. Excavation work takes place from 10am to 4.30 pm each day. Volunteers must be over 18 years and the Council asks that volunteers come along at 10am and commit to (at least) one full day.
An exhibition called ‘My Castle’ also takes place in Swords Castle from now until Friday, September 4th (except for Sunday 30th August). The exhibition explores what the Castle means to the people of Swords.

 Name a song or artist for every letter of the alphabet.

Hysterical….This makes my want to go to the archives and make me a CD and get Jiggy with it. Fabulous. I loved all of those songs. Great job.
LOL!!! I love this one!!!
As M.Stipe said, this might be your Finest Worksong.
I’m not alone thinking it’s about time. However, I’m not singing . . . you wildman childman.
My Hope is that there will be no Devastation…but then again, we have to check out Guitar George before he hits us w his best shot.
LOL, that’s just hilarious, I think you got em’ all! Emotional Rescue is my favorite by the RS. That’s is classic, Get your money for nothing & your chicks for free:) Do you really want to hurt me? Great one!
Shadoe Stevens feels disrespected since you failed to give any props to his homies down in Compton….what you got against “E” or Yella?? You frontin’ on Dre & Cube???? He guess you dont even like dominos?? Straight trippin’….rollin straight out of LoCash!!!!
no disrespect shadoe… most worthy- ‘o.g.’ was ’91 & ‘the chronic’ was ’92… and Lee can’t ‘walk this way’ since he’s eternally sedentary. ‘fight for your right’ just fit the story line better than ‘fight the power’… but, a Lee rap may be in the works.
Are you a def leppard or just pulling a cheap trick? I thought you might be drinking inxs after reading this one. But have no tears for fears and don’t go putting on your bangles with your go go’s. You’d look like a pixie or worse, a psychedelic fur. Remember life is a journey and even if you are a foreigner, you need to take that reo speedwagon for a ride. Just promise me you won’t go drivin n’ cryin. There is a cure for that. EMF. A-ha, we all know what that stands for. EMF. Go back to your bauhaus for a while and think on that. If that’s a crowded house and full of madness, best to get some new order in your life before you talk talk. As a reminder, gentlemen, talk talk is the foreplay before love and rockets. U2 know it’s true.

 How can I install Oracle Java 8 in Debian?

Oracle Java downloads now require logging in to an Oracle account to download Java updates, like the latest Oracle Java 8u211 / Java SE 8u212. Because of this I cannot update the PPA with the latest Java (and the old links were broken by Oracle).
For this reason, THIS PPA IS DISCONTINUED (unless I find some way around this limitation).
Oracle Java 8 was released yesterday and it can be installed in Debian by using the WebUpd8 Java PPA repository.
Usually, the packages available in Launchpad PPAs don't support Debian because they are built against specific Ubuntu libraries, but since the WebUpd8 Oracle Java PPA contains just an installer, it works on Debian too.
Using this PPA repository, you'll be able to install Oracle Java 8 (which includes both JRE8 and JDK8) in Debian for both 32bit and 64bit as well as ARM (ARM v6/v7 Hard Float ABI - there's no JDK 8 ARM Soft Float ABI archive available for download on Oracle's website).
The installer automatically downloads and installs Oracle JDK8, but no actual Java files are available in our repository (that's not allowed by the Oracle Java license).
And that's it, Oracle Java 8 should now be installed and you should get automatic updates for future Oracle Java 8 versions, under Debian.
Previously, this package would increment the Java priority to make it default. The oracle-java8-installer package now sets the Java priority to 1081, and that may or may not set it as default, depending on other Java packages you may have installed (for instance, if Java 7 is also installed, Java 8 becomes default, but if Java 9 is installed, Java 8 doesn't become default).
To make Java 8 default, you must install the "oracle-java8-set-default" package (which configures the Java environment variables and sets it as default), which I added as a "Recommended" package to "oracle-java8-installer".
For instance, in Ubuntu, recommended packages are automatically installed, so "oracle-java8-set-default" should be installed when installing "oracle-java8-installer". In Linux Mint on the other hand, recommended packages are not installed by default, so you must install this package manually if you want to set Oracle Java 8 as default.
Note: removing the oracle-java8-set-default package does not undo all the changes (I have yet to find a way to do this properly). If you don't want to set it as default, remove both oracle-java8-installer and oracle-java8-set-default packages, and then install oracle-java8-installer with "--no-install-recommends" (like mentioned above).
Tip: if you're behind a firewall / router that blocks some of the redirects required to download the Oracle Java archive, you can download the JDK tar.gz archive manually and place it under /var/cache/oracle-jdk8-installer - then, installing the "oracle-java8-installer" package will use the local archive instead of trying it to download it itself.
For how to install Oracle Java 7 in Debian, see THIS article.
For Oracle Java 9, see THIS article.
Update2 : if you're looking for Oracle JDK 10, it's available in a different PPA. See this website for more info.

 Have you heard about Blockstream's announcement regarding patents?

THE PAST few years were baffling as companies equated promises not to sue with “Open Source” or “open-source” (with a dash, to help dodge the trademark perhaps). Examples we covered here included, notably, Tesla and Panasonic.
A couple of days ago we saw that Blockstream had claimed the following: “Today we are excited to announce some important steps we are taking on the patent front, why these defensive steps are necessary, and our hope that others will see merit in our approach and follow our lead.
Right, but unless Blockstream actually has some patents (there is no evidence of it so far), what can they really use against the system? The system as it stands is inherently hostile towards GNU/Linux and Free/Open Source software, which is what Blockchain is all about.

 What do you think of the application FortKnoxster?

There’s been a lot of debate about ‘protocol tokens vs. application tokens’ in the crypto community. Since the space is so new, no one really understands how it will evolve. However, some VC investors with a lot of money made some theses about the evolution of the space, declaring protocol tokens to be ‘superior’ to application tokens. We at Crypto Sailor reject that hypothesis. In fact, in a world of copy-paste altcoins, we like to see real applications. Real applications with real users. And real use case of course.
Today, we discuss one such application to prove our point – FortKnoxster. It is an application that makes clever use of a crypto-token. The token is used to drive the application. The application has a direct use of the token. The strength of the project lies not in creating a new blockchain protocol but in creating an application with real users, willing to use it because of a compelling selling point.
In the case of FortKnoxster, that unique selling point, or USP, is around privacy and variety of communications. All the data on the system is encrypted, which means no company has access to your private data, not even FortKnoxster. This is a real need for both businesses and individuals in a globally connected world that leaks a lot of data about users and systems through everyday conveniences like using a messaging app.
The variety of communications part is also interesting. It does a combination of many things you’ll do with separate apps today – from storing of files like a Google Drive to the chat platform, like Telegram. In fact, the team calls its product ‘Telegram on steroids’, so it does much more than what Telegram does. In addition, all of this is encrypted, which means no third-party can read or listen in to your work or conversations. This is important for trust and privacy, and is what will ultimately drive consumer adoption for the FortKnoxster application.
So why does the app need a token in the first place? Once there are real users using the system, based on the compelling use case of private communications, it is only a matter of time before the amount of data hosted and used by the app explodes. The token is used to ensure that the data is being adequately stored by the peers, in a peer to peer network of sharing data, like IPFS.
Also, the token is used for all the native functions in the app, like upgrading storage for example. As with other applications, it is helpful to have a native currency with the users that is controlled by the system and its users as opposed to external parties and sources. This gives more control to users and developers.
We see compelling projects at all levels – be it protocol layer like Ethereum or application layer like FortKnoxser. The industry is evolving at a rapid rate, and we should welcome applications that make use of the blockchain for their business case. Ultimately, after all, it is applications that end users will use, and that will drive the adoption of blockchain platforms.

 Describe the implications of AT&T acquiring Time Warner.

Days after agreeing to acquire media giant Time Warner, AT&T has revealed that its upcoming internet television service, DirecTV Now, will offer 100-plus channels for a mere $35 a month.
Previously, the company said that DirecTV Now, due next month, wouldn't undercut the steep price of cable television. But a $35 price tag is very much a shot across the bows of cable companies like Comcast, and in revealing the new strategy at a conference in Southern California, AT&T CEO Randall Stevenson said as much. "It's clear what customers want. They want premium content in a mobile environment," Stephenson said. "Our goal is to drive prices down."
The move is also a way of bolstering support for the company's $85.4 billion deal to acquire Time Warner. Regulators will heavily scrutinize the proposed merger of two such large and influential companies, but the pair are insistent that the deal benefits consumers. Certainly, internet television benefits consumers. The ideal is a world where consumers can watch whatever they want over the internet from any device, rather than bow to the restrictions of old-fashioned cable TV.
According to Stephenson, AT&T envisions DirecTV Now as service that will eventually operate not just over landline internet connection but across 5G wireless connections, which it plans to deploy by 2018 and expand in 2019 and 2020. In this way, Stephenson wants to directly compete with cable TV. "I border on evangelical about it," he said.
The concern with an AT&T-Time Warner merger is that AT&T will somehow limit the distribution of Time Warner content on other networks. But Stephenson said that Time Warner’s offerings—which include HBO, CNN, DC Comics, TBS, TNT, the Cartoon Network, and Warner Brothers as well as various live sporting events—will be widely distributed. Meanwhile, Time Warner’s independence will be considered "sacrosanct," and Stephenson said the company will be a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T. "We will be very cautious and thoughtful about how we organize this," he said.
On the flip side, the likes of Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Kaine and Senator Bernie Sanders have called on government regulators to fully vet the merger and make sure that AT&T won’t prioritize delivering HBO’s content on its pipes over, say, Netflix. The concern was echoed by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings just yesterday at the same conference. "As long as HBO's bits and Netflix's bits are treated the same," Hastings said, he wouldn’t oppose the merger.
Stephenson said that critics of the deal were "uninformed." According to the AT&T CEO, the two main concerns should be net neutrality and protecting internet streaming media companies like Netflix. The Federal Communications Commission will ensure net neutrality remains intact, he said, before adding that “Netflix is probably going to be OK." Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes, who appeared onstage with Stephenson, added the deal would bring much needed competition to advertising, which at the moment is being dominated by tech giants like Google and Facebook—who, as they ramp their video offerings online, are becoming media companies in their own right.
All that said, AT&T is already pushing the boundaries of net neutrality by "zero-rating" Internet content that comes from its existing DirecTV satellite television service. In other words, if you're a DirecTV subscriber, AT&T doesn't count DirecTV streaming against your data plan. It's unclear for now how it will handle the new DirecTV Now, which will be offered entirely over the net.

 Describe the criminal activity of former Alabama coal executive David Roberson and former Balch & Bingham partner Joel Gilbert. Respond in 7 sentences.

A former Alabama coal executive and a one-time partner in a prominent law firm are going to federal prison for bribery.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A former Alabama coal executive and a one-time partner in a prominent law firm are going to federal prison for bribery.
A federal judge sentenced former Drummond Co. executive David Roberson to 2½ years in prison during a hearing Tuesday in Birmingham. U.S. District Judge Abdul Kallon also sentenced former Balch & Bingham partner Joel Gilbert to five years in prison.
Both men were convicted in a conspiracy to bribe former state legislator Oliver Robinson, who previously was sentenced to nearly three years.
Robinson took a $375,000 contract while serving in the Alabama House and used his influence to oppose Environmental Protection Agency efforts to prioritize a federal Superfund site in Birmingham.
Prosecutors say Roberson and Gilbert were trying to protect a Drummond subsidiary from the cost of the work.

 Tell me more about Gary Johnson.

Gary Johnson is the former Governor of New Mexico and the 2016 Libertarian candidate for president.
It is shockingly simple—revolutionary, and yet common sense: People should be free to make their own choices in their lives, as long as those decisions don’t adversely affect others.
I’m a fierce defender of civil liberties, perhaps because individual freedom is very personal to me. I decided at a very early age that I wanted the freedom to do what I want with my life, to achieve whatever my talents and determination would allow without hindrance from the government or anyone else who might want to take my freedom away. For me, achieving that personal freedom meant achieving financial freedom: Earning and saving enough money to fulfill my goals.
I started my own business as a handyman in Albuquerque while still in college. I learned a great deal, including how rewarding it is to work for yourself. Is it any surprise that two-thirds of millennials say that they want to be entrepreneurs at some point in their lives?
I also learned that a leader needs to be able to hire and to fire. I’ve also seen how small businesses can become big ones when they share the profits with employees, as I did.
20 years after I started, my handy-man business had become a 1,000-employee construction venture. The freedom to be an entrepreneur and succeed made it possible for me to run for Governor of New Mexico—and to serve two terms. I was able to make a difference.
The financial and personal freedom I earned from my entrepreneurial hard work also allowed me to pursue my personal passions: Being a “fit for life” athlete, climbing the highest peak on each of the 7 continents, including Mt. Everest—and today, offering a simple approach to leading our increasingly complex nation. That approach is financial responsibility, less government, greater individual freedom, and a foreign policy that distinguishes between truly making us safe and engaging in ill-advised interventions abroad.
When government grows and takes more of our money in taxes, we lose freedom. My vision for America is straightforward: I want more freedom, not less, so that my children and millions of Americans, young and old, have the same opportunity to achieve their dreams that I have had.
I sometimes wonder: Why is it so difficult for so many to grasp that in a free society, we need to allow people to make choices, even if we might personally disagree with those choices and as long as they don’t harm others.
Defending someone else’s beliefs and non-harmful actions is defending civil liberties. And standing up for civil liberties and civil rights is the essence of America.
Conversely, when government tries to impose values on society and limit personal choices, it doesn’t work—and it shouldn’t.
Our nation learned from Prohibition that arbitrarily and unnecessarily banning behavior doesn’t work. The same lesson should be applied to marijuana. We need to stop criminalizing personal choices that do no harm to others.
Read next: Can Gary Johnson Be a Factor in 2016?
Fortunately, the Supreme Court finally confirmed that the Constitution protects Americans’ freedom to marry who they wish. That decision was long overdue. Why do we need government to restrict marriage freedom?
I could go on, but the point is clear. America was founded on the notion of individual freedom and civil liberties. I am able to run for President today because I had the freedom to succeed and achieve. And the reason I’m running is that I want that freedom for others—especially our young people and generations to come.
Freedom isn’t complicated. It just requires us to remember who we are as Americans. Unfortunately, the politicians in Washington, Republicans and Democrats alike, have forgotten that simple, foundational American value.

 What do you know about Mary I of Scotland?

On Feb. 8, 1587, Mary I of Scotland was beheaded for her alleged role in a conspiracy against her cousin Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Mary Stuart, the Catholic queen of Scotland, was a claimant to the English throne who had the support of English Catholics. As such, she was a threat to her cousin Elizabeth, the Protestant queen of England.
Raised in France, Mary returned to Scotland in 1561 and reigned with an uneasy relationship with Protestant Scottish nobles. In 1567, Mary’s second husband, Henry Darnley, was murdered in a plot that likely involved Mary, the Earl of Bothwell and other nobles. Months later, after Mary married Bothwell, the nobles turned on the couple, inciting the public by accusing them of Darnley’s murder.
Mary was arrested, imprisoned in Loch Leven Castle and forced to abdicate her throne in favor of her 1-year-old son James. She escaped from Loch Leven in May 1568, and, after unsuccessfully trying to raise an army to reclaim her throne, fled Scotland for England. On Mary’s arrival, Elizabeth had little choice but to imprison her cousin.
Mary was to spend 18 years of her life in prison. Elizabeth’s advisers urged the queen to put her rival to death, but Elizabeth balked at killing her blood relative. Two Catholic plots to kill Elizabeth and place Mary on the English throne were uncovered: the Ridolfi plot in 1570 and the Babington plot in 1586.
Mary was tried for treason in October 1586 for her role in the Babington plot; she was convicted and sentenced to death by beheading. Elizabeth, who had rejected Parliament’s calls in 1572 to kill Mary over the Ridolphi plot, was reluctant to sign her cousin’s death warrant. She finally did so in February 1587.
In Mary’s final letter, written to her brother-in-law Henri III of France six hours before her execution, she expressed a belief that “she was dying a religious martyr,” according to the National Library of Scotland.
At 8 a.m. on Feb. 8, 1587, the former Queen of Scotland was beheaded. A first-hand account reports an undignified end. The axman had to strike twice to remove Mary’s head. Then when he lifted up her severed head, Mary’s wig was removed and the audience was startled by the short, gray hair that was revealed.
Mary Stuart, daughter of King James V, King of Scots, and great-granddaughter of King Henry VII of England, became queen of Scotland when she was just 6 days old. After negotiations to betroth her to the son of King Henry VIII failed, she was betrothed to Francis, the dauphin of France, and sent to France when she was 5 years old.

 Describe the dangers of quicksand.

It used to be a standard trope in action movies, although you don’t see it much these days: a patch of apparently solid ground in the jungle that, when stepped on, turns out to have the consistency of cold oatmeal. The unlucky victim starts sinking down into the muck; struggling only makes it worse. Unless there’s a vine to grab a hold of, he or she disappears without a trace (except maybe a hat floating sadly on the surface). It was a bad way to go. Quicksand was probably the number-one hazard faced by silver-screen adventurers, followed by decaying rope bridges and giant clams that could hold a diver underwater.
Given how often quicksand deaths and near-deaths occur in film, you would think we would be seeing news about quicksand tragedies in real life. But an Internet search for deaths by quicksand won’t turn up much. Is quicksand actually as dangerous as advertised?
Nope. Quicksand—that is, sand that behaves as a liquid because it is saturated with water—can be a mucky nuisance, but it’s basically impossible to die in the way that is depicted in movies. That’s because quicksand is denser than the human body. People and animals can get stuck in it, but they don’t get sucked down to the bottom—they float on the surface. Our legs are pretty dense, so they may sink, but the torso contains the lungs, and thus is buoyant enough to stay out of trouble.
If you do find yourself stuck in quicksand, the best idea is to lean back so that the weight of your body is distributed over a wider area. Moving won’t cause you to sink. In fact, slow back-and-forth movements can actually let water into the cavity around a trapped limb, loosening the quicksand’s hold. Getting out will take a while, though. Physicists have calculated that the force required to extract your foot from quicksand at a rate of one centimeter per second is roughly equal to the force needed to lift a medium-sized car. One genuine danger is that a person who is immobilized in quicksand could be engulfed and drowned by an incoming tide—quicksands often occur in tidal areas—but even these types of accidents are very rare.

 What was NHL Showdown?

Back in the late 1970s and at least as far as 1980 Hockey Night In Canada intermissions featured something called NHL Showdown. Filmed in the summer and shown throughout the season, the special was a pre-cursor to the NHL Skills Competition seen at the All Star Game nowadays. Many of the NHL's top shooters and goaltenders got together and were put through a series of exciting events. The CBC and the NHLPA collaborated on the TV show, though many NHL teams tried to block player participation due to fear of injury.

 What is the difference between a linewise and blockwise representation of a maze?

The path to follow is the line itself, and whitespace becomes the walls. Straightforward to implement, but honestly, it’s not the most friendly of representations. For one thing, because the paths have no thickness, it becomes difficult to represent the contents of the maze: doors, stairs, obstacles, etc.
If the original cell is linked to its southern neighbor, make the southwest subcell (C) a passage; otherwise, make it a wall.
If the original cell is linked to its eastern neighbor, make the northeast subcell (B) a passage; otherwise, make it a wall.
Then, because we’re only considering south and east passages, we need to treat the north and west boundaries of the maze specially, by rendering them explicitly as a wall. The result of all this is that if you start with a grid that is n cells on a side, the blockwise rendering will be 2n+1 blocks on a side: 2n because you double each cell, and +1 because of the extra wall on the north and west boundaries.
But is it still the same maze?
Can I generate a blockwise maze directly?
My book describes representing a maze as, essentially, a graph–with cells for nodes and passages for edges. This maps directly to linewise renderings, and easily converts to linewise walls. You’ve seen, now, how to convert those to blockwise renderings, but what if you only care about the blockwise representation? Perhaps you want the walls themselves to have attributes (color, texture, hardness, etc.), or maybe you want players to be able to tunnel through walls, in which case they need to be entities in their own right.
Is it possible to skip the intermediate graph representation, and just build the maze directly in a blockwise format?
You have two options. I call these strict blockwise, and relaxed blockwise.
A strict blockwise representation can be converted back into linewise and linewise-wall renderings by throwing away the north and west walls, and then laying converting each 2x2 group of blocks back into lines, based on how they connect to neighboring 2x2 groups.
The remaining cells are intermediate locations, which are used only to represent passages between cells. The process of generating a maze progresses using your algorithm of choice, with passages being carved through those intermediate locations.
A relaxed blockwise representation cannot usually be converted back into a linewise rendering. This is because it treats every block in the grid as a potential cell in the maze, which means you can no longer reliably overlay a larger grid on it and reduce those 2x2 clusters to single cells.
To generate a relaxed blockwise maze, start with a grid of any size you like, and the algorithm of your choice. Proceed as before, but now you are constrained in which neighbor cells you can choose: if a neighbor cell is horizontally or vertically adjacent to any other “open” (carved) cell (aside from the current cell), it may not be selected.
In the following illustration, the green cell may be carved from the west because it has no neighboring cells that are themselves already carved (aside from its neighbor to the west).
But in the next illustration, the red cell may not be carved from the west, because it does have a neighboring cell that is already carved (its neighbor to the east).
Note that you’ll often wind up with “dead” cells–groups of wall that couldn’t be carved because they violate that constraint about which cells can be selected. Sometimes that’s an esthetic that you want; sometimes it isn’t. It’s something to keep in mind.
Do the walls have to be the same size as the cells?
So, there you have it: mazes with blockwise geometry. You are now ready to create your own Roguelike dungeon. Go forth and carve some passages!

 Explain how a partnership between ZeppelinOS and ChainLink provides a secure oracle system that benefits the ZeppelinOS platform.

The process of building and managing smart contracts is often complex, time-consuming, and prone to error. ZeppelinOS makes the smart contract development process faster, easier, and more secure through a platform of tools and services built on top of the EVM.
We’ve outlined in our whitepaper how ZeppelinOS will allow smart contracts to access information on the blockchain that is currently unavailable from on-chain apps. For example, projects will be able to access the current ETH price, gas price, transaction pool size, and average mining block times.
To accomplish this, ZeppelinOS will need to provide trusted oracles. That’s why we’re excited to announce our new partnership with ChainLink, the leading provider of secure oracle services.
Proven oracle services—ChainLink has a strong record of execution when it comes to building trusted and secure oracles for major decentralized applications. Our partnership means that our oracle integration will be backed by the industry’s leading experts.
Faster development—Outsourcing to a veteran oracle provider means that our team can focus on platform development rather than creating the oracle’s infrastructure.
ChainLink’s oracles will benefit ZeppelinOS users by giving them access to traditionally off-chain information. The ZeppelinOS platform itself will also benefit from this access.
For example, the platform’s Scheduler component is a bounty-based smart contract async execution manager. It allows for richer execution models through the use of a standardized set of signaling events. This makes it possible for standard mechanisms for requesting data from trusted and authoritative sources by adding a validation on the callback originator to ensure the response is provided by a secure oracle.
Our Marketplace feature is also able to use trusted oracles to its advantage. For example, oracles would allow for transactions of unlike currencies without the use of a formal exchange. This requires the developer to load tokens of the external protocol to a smart contract, creating a buffer. These tokens will be used to pay for protocol services as users pay for services in the application using ZEP tokens. The smart contract will have an oracle which dictates the exchange rate for converting ZEP to the external token. The developer then receives ZEP and spends the external tokens.
This partnership will allow each team to focus on what they do best. ChainLink has a proven record of execution with trusted oracle services, while our team at Zeppelin has expertise in smart contract security and development infrastructure. Our team’s have worked with each other in the past, and this agreement helps solidify many of the core components of the ZeppelinOS platform.

 Have you heard about the proposed changes to the Wassenaar Arrangement export controls?

EFF has long advocated for greater vigilance over the potential sale of specially-developed surveillance tools to oppressive regimes that use technology to commit human rights abuses. We want those countries to be held legally accountable for such conduct, and have rallied tech companies to take steps to prevent their products and services from being used for censorship and/or to target and harm activists.
But when we saw the proposal of the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) at the U.S. Commerce Department for implementation of the latest changes to the Wassenaar Arrangement export controls—which would require export licenses for the sale of certain surveillance technology—we saw that the BIS had drafted a vague, overbroad, and contradictory set of rules that have the potential to chill legitimate research into security vulnerabilities that will keep data and devices secure from attacks.
EFF joined a coalition of six advocacy organizations, including Human Rights Watch and the Center for Democracy & Technology, to submit comments this week to BIS urging the government to narrow the rules to focus exclusively on technology designed for government end users or for military or law enforcement end uses, while ensuring that the general-purpose tools we all depend on for our security aren’t swept up in overbroad regulations.
The goal should be to make it tougher for repressive regimes and criminals to get their hands on and use purpose-built surveillance technologies to target activists and interrupt the free flow of information, without harming distribution of penetration testing and network security tools, we told the Commerce Department.
In May BIS published its proposed implementation of the 2013 changes, and we were troubled by the vague and overbroad language and definitions of intrusion software that appeared to sweep up many of the common and perfectly legitimate tools used in security research.
BIS last month released a FAQ that addressed some of our concerns about whether the proposed rules incorporate exemptions for technology in the public domain. But the FAQ failed to ease our concerns about whether, under the proposal, companies would be required to share their zero-day exploits with the government in order to get a license.
We have urged the Commerce Department in our joint comment to avoid ambiguity and clearly spell out that cybersecurity software and technology generally available to the public are exempt from licensing and tailor the licensing process specifically to human rights concerns.
“We believe it’s possible for the government to craft a final rule that is narrowly tailored to address the human rights concerns raised by the spread of surveillance technologies without adversely affecting a variety of additional technologies, including important research and testing tools,” we told the government.

 Explain the Islamic rulings on burning kafirs with fire until death.

Below I have translated the document circulated by the Islamic State's al-Eftaa wa al-Buhuth committee on the subject of the burning alive of the Jordanian pilot. This committee is responsible for providing Islamic textual justifications for various decrees on the acceptability of certain acts. This latest example is perhaps the most notorious. It is important that these documents be brought to light because as the corpus of Islamic texts- whether verses of Qur'an, the ahadith and acts from early Islamic history- is so vast, the Islamic State will likely find some reference that can justify its actions and make its supporters and members feel more sure of themselves. My friend Hassan Hassan has already noted this problem, and it presents a significant challenge to those who wish to counter the Islamic State on interpretation and counter-interpretation grounds.
Question: What is the ruling on burning the kafir [disbeliever] with fire until he dies?
Answer: [...] The Hanafis and Shafi'is* have permitted it, considering the saying of the Prophet 'Fire is only to be administered as punishment by God' as an affirmation of humility. Al-Muhallab** said: "This is not an abslolute prohibition, but rather on the path of humility."
Al-Hafiz ibn Hajar*** said: "What points to the permissibility of burning is the deeds of the Companions, and the Prophet put out the eyes of the Uraynians with heated iron...while Khalid ibn al-Waleed**** burnt people of those who apostazied."
And some of the Ahl al-'Ilm have been of the opinion that burning with fire was prohibited originally, but then on retaliation it is permitted, just as the Prophet did to the people of Urayna, when he put out the eyes of the Uraynians with fire- in retaliation- as is related in Sahih [reliable] tradition, and this brought forth the words together among the proofs.
*- Two of the four main schools of Sunni jurisprudence, the others being Maliki and Hanbali.
**- Early theologian in Islam- died c. 702 CE.
***- Fifteenth century imam and jurist from Egypt: bio here.
****- Companion of Muhammad who participated in early Muslim conquests in the Levant.
"They say that IS burnt Muadh the apostate alive, and have forgotten that Muadh is the one who was burning children of the Muslims alive. [This is when] he was bombing them with heat missiles."
