As a middle-aged video game designer struggles to keep her career alive, she and her children accidentally unleash tiny medieval creatures called the Krostons from an ancient chest found in the woods. The Krostons set out to conquer the world, causing chaos wherever they go. The designer must work with her family and grandfather to stop the Krostons before they ruin her upcoming pitch and take over the world, ultimately learning that family is more important than her career.
The document summarizes the origins and variations of the Rapunzel fairy tale, from the original Petrosinella story written in 1634 to the Brothers Grimm's 1812 version and Disney's 2010 Tangled film adaptation. It traces the evolution of the core storyline and characters over multiple retellings. The author argues that while the original versions were too dark and illogical for children, Disney's Tangled provides a kid-friendly version that has become hugely popular.
This document appears to be a portfolio for a writing course focused on writing for children. It includes poems, short stories, and reflections written by the author. It is dedicated to her husband and newborn son. The portfolio contains four sections - poems and reflections, critiques and reflections on those critiques, a writing philosophy essay, and concluding notes about the author.
This document discusses Hollywood's fascination with disaster films and humanity's appetite for depictions of mass destruction. It traces the history and evolution of the disaster film genre from the silent era to modern blockbusters that employ cutting-edge visual effects to portray catastrophic events. While focused on visual spectacle, these films also attempt to explore human drama and reactions to crisis through ensemble casts dealing with impending disasters.
This document discusses various methods artists use to tell narratives through images alone. It begins by defining key terms like ut pictura poesis and discussing monumental artworks that employ narrative techniques. It then describes six methods: monoscenic presents one scene; sequential uses ordered scenes; continuous uses repeating figures; synoptic includes multiple scenes; simultaneous uses symbols; and autonomous creates a narrative without text for the audience to interpret. Examples like The Raft of the Medusa demonstrate each technique.

Abstract: Eines der ursprünglichen Ziele von SGML war die Schaffung einheitlicher Formate für Textdokumente. Für verschiedene Anwendungsbereiche haben sich unterschiedliche Dokumentenformate (DTD) wie TEI und DocBook etabliert. Ein allen Anforderungen genügendes Schema kann es jedoch nicht geben. Der Computer und Medienservice der Humboldt Universität Berlin nutzt für die Langzeitarchivierung von Dissertationen seit 5 Jahren die eigens entwickelte DiML-DTD mit einem Bestand von inzwischen fast 250 Dokumenten in SGML. Mit der Umstellung auf XML hat die Arbeitsgruppe Elektronisches Publizieren zur Verwaltung des neuen Dokumentenformates ein eigenes System entwickelt, mit dem wiederverwendbare Strukturen verwaltet werden. Aus diesen lassen sich bedarfsgerecht DTDs für verschiedene Arten wissenschaftlicher Publikationen (Dissertationen, Artikel, Vorlesungen, Konferenzbände etc.) erzeugen, die alle fachspezifischen Elemente enthalten und von Autoren mit XML-Textwerkzeugen überschaubar nutzbar sind. Gleichzeitig können die im Zusammenhang benutzten Werkzeuge wie Dokumentvorlagen und Stylesheets einheitlich gestaltet werden. Das System soll am Beispiel der neuen DiML-DTD vorgestellt und die Möglichkeit der Übertragung auf andere Anwendungsgebiete diskutiert werden.

Here are a few reasons why stretchtext did not catch on as a dominant form of hypertext:
1. Habit of navigation. Readers had become accustomed to clicking links to move between nodes, rather than having the text dynamically change around them. Stretchtext required adjusting to a new paradigm.
2. Loss of context. When the text stretches, surrounding context is lost. Readers cannot easily refer back to what came before. Navigation allows random access to any part of the text.
3. Non-linearity. Hypertext thrives on the ability to read in a non-linear fashion, following links in any order. Stretchtext is inherently linear even if the content changes dynamically.

1. The document discusses various rhetorical devices and their uses in writing and speech. It argues that devices like puns, analogies, metaphors and hyperbole can be effective when used intentionally, whereas errors, contradictions or ambiguities are generally undesirable.
2. Examples are provided of different rhetorical devices like oxymorons, paradoxes, repetitions and understatements. The document also notes how devices like mondegreens and malapropisms can occur unintentionally when words are misheard or misused.
3. In summarizing the key points, the document advocates for the strategic use of rhetorical devices to enhance expression, while advising against ambiguities, inconsistencies and other unintentional errors
This document discusses various rhetorical devices and their uses. It begins by stating that ambiguity is bad, while puns, double entendres, and paranomasia are good rhetorical devices. It then provides examples of different devices like double entendres, idiomatic expressions, paradoxes, oxymorons, doggerel, anacoluthon, zeugma, parody, mondegreens, analogy, satire, anachronism, innuendo, hyperbole, repetition, malapropisms, vernacular writing, and litotes. Each example is preceded by a statement about whether errors or the intentional device is good or bad from a rhetorical standpoint.
This document discusses using images from modern movies and TV shows to help summarize and explain older texts like Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Heart of Darkness for younger audiences. It provides 3 examples of connections between quotes from the older texts and stills from Footloose, The Silence of the Lambs, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. These connections highlight themes of moral failings and the struggle between good and evil. By pairing classic literature with modern media, it argues, these texts can teach valuable lessons about morality, willpower, and human nature in a way today's students can easily understand.
The document provides an in-depth analysis and summary of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's short story "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings". It defines magic realism as a genre that blends realistic and fantastical elements. It examines examples of magic realism, imagery, and symbolism from the story. Specifically, it discusses the magical possibility of the title character - an old man found with enormous wings. It also analyzes themes around humanity's treatment of others and views of the supernatural.

Hyperbole is exaggeration used for emphasis, humor, or to make a vivid description. It overstates qualities by magnifying them. Examples from literature demonstrate hyperbole's use to describe people as extremely thin or funny, emotions as unbearable pain or lack of brains, and a town as having no money or time spent there as feeling like weeks in a single day. Hyperbole commonly appears in humorous poetry to make a lighthearted point through exaggerated terms.
This document provides an overview of fairy tales, including their key features, origins, history, purposes, and ongoing debates. It discusses how fairy tales originated in oral traditions but were later written down and published in collections. While they typically include simplistic plots and stock characters, the definition of a fairy tale remains contested. The document examines controversies over whether fairy tales are folk tales and should be studied academically rather than viewed as children's stories. It also analyzes how different authors and critics have interpreted and retold famous fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood from various perspectives.
The document summarizes the rules for 3 phases of a quiz competition - an Infinite Bounce Phase with no negative marking, a Theme Connect Phase, and a Closed Loop Theme Connect Phase.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

HCL Notes und Domino Lizenzkostenreduzierung in der Welt von DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-und-domino-lizenzkostenreduzierung-in-der-welt-von-dlau/
DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
- Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten
- Wie funktionieren CCB- und CCX-Lizenzen wirklich?
- Verstehen des DLAU-Tools und wie man es am besten nutzt
- Tipps für häufige Problembereiche, wie z. B. Team-Postfächer, Funktions-/Testbenutzer usw.
- Praxisbeispiele und Best Practices zum sofortigen Umsetzen

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

A wealthy and handsome boy, returning from an isolated outpost, embarks
on a ship and encounters a beautiful girl who, it happens, is a con artist.
They meet. As is his nature, he falls in love. As is hers, she swindles him out
of a large sum of money.
He discovers that he was been swindled; the lovers quarrel. She discovers
that she has fallen in love with him. They part, and do not see each other for a
