"Paranoid" is a song by Black Sabbath that appears on the band's second album Paranoid. It is the first single from the album, while the b-side is the song "The Wizard". It reached number 4 on the UK Singles Chart and number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, also reached #1 on the German Singles Chart.

Guitarist Tony Iommi came up with the riff while the rest of the band was out getting lunch. Upon their return they immediately recorded it in as long as it took to play it through. The lyrics had not been written yet so vocalist Ozzy Osbourne sang whatever came to mind. The final version contained different lyrics penned by bassist and principal lyricist and compositor, Geezer Butler.[2] The song was produced by Rodger Bain.
" | A lot of the Paranoid album was written around the time of our first album, Black Sabbath. We recorded the whole thing in about 2 or 3 days, live in the studio. The Song 'Paranoid' was written as an afterthought. We basically needed a 3 minute filler for the album, and Tony came up with the riff. I quickly did the lyrics, and Ozzy was reading them as he was singing. | " |
—Geezer Butler (from Guitar World magazine, March 2004)[3] |
"Paranoid" was released as a single and received regular airplay on mainstream radio. The single, with "Rat Salad" on the B-side, was released in the UK in July 1970 and it reached the number 2 position just being kept off the Number 1 position by Deep Purples "Black Night". It made number 2 on the Dutch Top 40.
The song's lyrics are from the viewpoint of a man suffering from paranoia, however, the word "Paranoid" is never mentioned in the lyric.[3] Lyrics such as People think I'm insane because / I am frowning all the time and Happiness I cannot feel / And love to me is so unreal state his emotions and the symptoms of mental illness at the same time. The last two lines of the song, And so as you hear these words / Telling you now of my state / I tell you to enjoy life I / Wish I could but it's too late are the chilling message from a man who loses hope and believes he will suffer for the rest of his life. The oddity of the speaker also shows in his unnatural stress pattern, creating a somewhat forced form of trochaic tetrameters.
"Paranoid" is consistently ranked as one of the greatest heavy metal songs of all time. It is typically associated with both Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath due to its popularity. After Osbourne was fired by the band in 1979, he continued to perform this track normally at the end of the set. Various different live versions have been recorded with Osbourne. This is due to the changes in band lineup since the original Blizzard of Ozz in 1980. Popular live versions featuring various guitarists including Randy Rhoads, Brad Gillis, Jake E. Lee and Zakk Wylde were all recorded and later released.
It was ranked #34 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs.[4] In March 2005, Q magazine placed it at number 11 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. Rolling Stone ranked it number 250 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time[5] and called the song, "a two-minute blast of protopunk"[6]. In 2009, it was named the 4th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.[7]
The original Black Sabbath recording has been used numerous times in various films and television shows including Sid & Nancy,[8] Dazed and Confused,[9] The Stoned Age,[10] Any Given Sunday,[11] Almost Famous,[12] and We Are Marshall.[13]
In Finland it is an old joke that somebody shouts during every gig "play Paranoid!" ("Soittakaa Paranoid!") just like "Free Bird" is often requested in the United States, and "Stairway to Heaven" in the UK.[14][15]

In the 1991 documentary, Don't Blame Me, Ozzy Osbourne discusses two examples of where a lyric he has sung has been misinterpreted. In "Paranoid", Osbourne state that he has been falsely accused of singing "I tell you to end your life" when, in fact, the lyric is actually "I tell you to enjoy life". He also states that he is not saying "shoot" repeatedly in the song "Suicide Solution" from his debut solo album, Blizzard of Ozz. As an example of how easily one can be mistaken about a lyric, Osbourne goes on to cite his own mistake in interpreting the line "excuse me while I kiss the sky" in Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" as "excuse me while I kiss this guy".
The web address of the Archive of Misheard Lyrics website, kissthisguy.com, was inspired by this comment.
Cover versions of "Paranoid" were performed by:
"Paranoid" has also been featured on the soundtracks of several video games including Rock 'N' Roll Racing, Rock Band, Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock, and Madden NFL 10.
The opening riff from "Paranoid" is also used at the beginning of the Current 93 song "Lucifer Over London".
The song is featured in Supenatural's episode Phantom Traveler after Dean and Sam leave the tailor shop with their new tuxedos.
The song is in the background of the pub scene in "Sid and Nancy".

The introduction of new materials, the innovative use of various construction methods, and the popularity of vegetative (green) roofs make it timely to update and expand the 1990 article, "Principles of Design and Installation of Building Deck Waterproofing" [Ruggiero, S. S. and Rutila, D. A., "Principles of Design and Installation of Building Deck Waterproofing," Building Deck Waterproofing, ASTM STP 1084, L.E. Gish, Ed., ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA, 1990, p. 5. We review the state of the art for materials and practices, and apply the lessons learned over the past 20 years of below-ground and building deck waterproofing. Of particular importance are the following: Performance and durability advancements in fluid-applied systems have resulted in increased use. New chemical formulations as well as recognition of settled technologies that work allow some fluid-applied membranes to demonstrate proven durability equal to sheet membrane systems. Sodium bentonite-polymer composite systems resolve many past performance questions and often provide advantages over other options. Blind-side and other foundation waterproofing systems are increasingly driven by foundation forming and concrete placement, and support of excavation designs. Vegetative (green) roofing has created challenges not completely addressed by "plaza waterproofing" designs, but key principles of deck waterproofing must still be applied to vegetative roofing.

Compulsory transfer for NE teachers to serve in difficult areas[TamilNet, Sunday, 23 March 2003, 14:26 GMT]North East Provincial Ministry has instructed its twenty-four zonal directors of education to formulate a transfer scheme for teachers to serve in schools in difficult rural areas in the province for at least three years, sources said. "Teachers should not be allowed to serve in urban areas indefinitely without serving in difficult areas," said Provincial Ministry of Education Secretary Mr.R.Thiagalingam in a circular issued Saturday, sources said. Provincial education ministry has taken this step to ease acute shortage of teachers in rural schools in LTTE held areas in the northeast province, sources said. At present excess teachers serve in urban schools and almost all the schools in difficult areas are understaffed affecting rural education. However teachers transferred to difficult areas usually get their transfers cancelled using political influence, sources said. The circular further states that teacher transfer scheme should be implemented to ensure educational facilities in rural and difficult area schools are on par with the urban schools in the northeast province. |

Title: | Composition-tunable ZnxCd1-xSe nanocrystals with high luminescence and stability |
Author: | Zhong, Xinhua; Han, Ming-Yong; Dong, Zhili; White, Timothy John; Knoll, Wolfgang |
Copyright year: | 2003 |
Abstract: | High-quality ZnxCd1-xSe nanocrystals have been successfully prepared at high temperature by incorporating stoichiometric amounts of Zn and Se into pre-prepared CdSe nanocrystals. With increasing Zn content, a composition-tunable emission across most of the visible spectrum has been demonstrated by a systematic blue-shift in emission wavelength. The photoluminescence (PL) properties for the obtained ZnxCd1-xSe nanocrystals (PL efficiency of 70−85%, fwhm = 22−30 nm) are comparable to those for the best reported CdSe-based QDs. In particular, they also have good PL properties in the blue spectral range. Moreover, the alloy nanocrystals can retain their high luminescence (PL efficiency of over 40%) when dispersed in aqueous solutions and maintain a symmetric peak shape and spectral position under rigorous experimental conditions. A rapid alloying process was observed at a temperature higher than "alloying point". The mechanism of the high luminescence efficiency and stability of ZnxCd1-xSe nanocrystals is explored. |

I have enjoyed your posts and responding to them. Most of my liveaboard years have been in Florida. I thought that the use of boats for low income housing was unique to Florida. Certainly, for my experience, it's more common in Florida. I'm not willing to describe my occassional neighbors as misfits, -they fit in quite well. They are the largest group of non-boaters living on boats in Florida. At one marina that I frequent, there are about eight single men, all living on hurricane salvaged boats with hot plates and a large supply of beer. They seem to be thriving. They are not of the scurrying about in the dark variety. Maybe those are the Northern type.
By the way, I was anchored in the upper Chesapeake two months ago and spent a couple of hours trying to raise my fowled anchor. I think I found your car! 'take care and joy, Aythya crew

Author: truthfinder | Number: 27236 of 77389 | |
My father just became eligible (59.9 yrs old) for his monthly retirement distribution from a company he worked quite a few years back. He was notified that if he took his distrubtion now he would recieve about $800 per month. However, even if he waited until 65 his monthly distribution would be the exact same amount. My question is....if he took the monthly distribution now and invested that money, would the gains be taxable at his current tax rate? any help would be appreciated. thanks rob |

Extraction of real modes and physical matrices from modal testing
Wang, Tong, Zhang, Lingmi and Tee, Kong Fah (2011) Extraction of real modes and physical matrices from modal testing. Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration, 10 (2). pp. 219-227. ISSN 1993-503X (online) (doi:10.1007/s11803-011-0060-6)
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
A technique to extract real modes from the identified complex modes is presented in this paper, which enables the normalized real mode shapes, modal masses, and full or reduced mass and stiffness matrices to be obtained. The theoretical derivation of the method is provided in detail. An 11-DOF vibration system is used to validate the algorithm, and to analyze the effects of the number of modes utilized and measurement DOFs on the extraction results. Finally, the method is used to extract real modes from both experimental modal analysis and operational modal analysis.

Most of the previous trailers and TV spots for Jack Reacher have shown the levity of director Christopher McQuarrie's adaptation, with Tom Cruise threatening a hardware store employee and teaching another man not to play with guns. Today, Paramount Pictures has debuted an international trailer that is all business. We get a better look at the sniper murder case Jack investigates with this never-before-seen footage. If you thought Jack Reacher was an action-comedy before, this Japanese trailer will prove you wrong.
Jack Reacher was released December 21st, 2012 and stars Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, David Oyelowo, Werner Herzog, Jai Courtney, Vladimir Sizov, Joseph Sikora. The film is directed by Christopher McQuarrie.

Scientists have discovered nine genes linked to diabetes, a key breakthrough which they claim could soon pave the way for new treatment against the disease which affects more than 220 million people worldwide.
A team from 174 research centres around the world, who studied the genes and blood glucose level of more than 120,000 volunteers, has identified the nine genes which control the body's response to glucose in the blood.
Type 2 Diabetes occurs when the tissues of the body become resistant to the effects of insulin, needed to regulate glucose. The sufferers may control the disease with diet and exercise but often have to take insulin.
"This is an incredibly important finding. The discovery of these new genes influencing blood-sugar levels is the first step on the important journey to developing new therapies for diabetes.
"It opens up a whole new area of research to find which proteins are 'druggable' Genetics is like a can-opener: it allows us to get inside and understand what's going on," Jim Wilson of Edinburgh University, who heads the Scottish cohort study, was quoted by 'The Times' as saying.
For their research, the scientists studied 122,743 subjects from 50 population studies in the US, Canada, Iceland and Europe, including Scotland, England, Germany, Netherlands, Finland, Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland and Sweden.
And, the nine new genes include those that influence blood sugar levels and also the first gene influencing levels of insulin. A subset of the genes was associated with diabetes itself, say the scientists.
Dr Wilson said the biological pathways that the genes highlighted were those involved in the control of blood sugar and might point to novel drug targets for glycaemic control.
The pathways included not only glucose transport and sensing and pancreatic cell development, but also circadian rhythms and fatty acid metabolism.
The findings have been published in the latest edition of the 'Nature Genetics' journal.

The role of essential fatty acids in development. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 16011478 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The presence of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) in human milk but not in infant formula, coupled with lower plasma and brain lipid contents of DHA in formula-fed than in breast-fed infants and reports of higher IQ in individuals who were breast-fed versus formula-fed as infants, suggest that exogenous DHA (and ARA) may be essential for optimal development. Thus, since 1990, several studies have examined the impact of formulas containing DHA or DHA plus ARA on visual function and neurodevelopmental outcome. Some of these studies have shown benefits but others have not. These results leave largely unanswered the question of whether these fatty acids are beneficial for either the term or preterm infant. However, evidence that preterm infants might benefit is somewhat more convincing than that for term infants. Despite the limited evidence for efficacy, formulas supplemented with DHA and ARA are now available and appear to be safe. |

Velibor Vasović (Serbian Cyrillic: Велибор Васовић; October 3, 1939 in Požarevac, Danube Banovina, Kingdom of Yugoslavia – March 4, 2002 in Belgrade, Serbia, FR Yugoslavia) was a Serbian footballer and manager, also one of the legendary players of Partizan Belgrade and one of greatest defenders of his generation. A sweeper who could play in midfield, Vasović was renowned for his defensive positioning, never-say-die attitude and tactical awareness.
Early life[edit]
Born in Požarevac on the eve of World War II to parents hailing from Montenegro — tax office clerk Živojin Vasović and homemaker Jelka Laušević — young Velibor was the ninth child in the family.[2] He had four older brothers and three older sisters while another one of his sisters died before he was born. With the Nazi German invasion and subsequent dismemberment of the Yugoslav kingdom in April 1941, Vasović's father got taken prisoner by the Germans, spending four years in captivity, while his oldest siblings joined the Partisan resistance movement.[2]
The youngster completed primary education in his hometown before moving to capital Belgrade along with his entire family courtesy of his maternal uncle David Laušević who in the meantime rose to high post with the State Security Administration (UDBA). Vasović began his secondary studies by enrolling at the First Belgrade Gymnasium.[2]
Club career[edit]
Simultaneous with starting gymnasium studies, Vasović got introduced to the game of football at the small local outfit FK Novi Beograd.
FK Partizan[edit]
In 1955, the youngster's talent was spotted by FK Partizan youth coach Florijan Matekalo so 15-year-old Vasović transferred across town to the big club's youth system, joining other talented players such as right back Fahrudin Jusufi and central midfielder Vladica Kovačević, brought in from Prilep and Ivanjica, respectively. Others already on the youth team were twin brothers Srđan and Zvezdan Čebinac as well as Branko Pejović. The entire talented generation soon came to be known as "Matekalo's Babies".
In June 1958, 18-year-old Vasović got moved up to the full squad. He spent five seasons at FK Partizan in this stint (June 1958 – June 1963) before controversially transferring to arch rivals Red Star Belgrade during summer 1963. June 1964 – June 1966),
Six months at Red Star Belgrade[edit]
In the summer of 1963, 23-year-old Vasović was coming off another stellar season for Partizan in which he greatly contributed to the crno-beli winning their third consecutive league title. However, his contract with Partizan was set to expire. In a 1986 interview for Duga magazine, Vasović recalled how his transfer to Red Star came about:
" | Both my and Jusufi's contracts were expiring in the summer of 1963. And in addition to being key members of the Partizan team both of us were also prominent national team players. My uncle David Laušević was a Partizan board member so the geniuses at the club figured 'We better throw a lot of money at Jusufi to prevent him from leaving while Vasović's gonna stay anyway because his uncle will take care of it'. Of course, I would have none of it so I immediately went across town to Red Star's technical director Aca Obradović and I literally told him 'Mr. Obradović, if Red Star has enough money I'd like to join you'. So they dug into their emergency fund and paid me. Once the Partizan people found out, they were flabbergasted. Club president, JNA general Ilija Radaković, immediately approved the payment of the double amount Red Star gave me. My phone was ringing off the hook, they were sending letters, they organized fan protests. I was also getting threats. To this day I keep the letter in which one JNA officer threatens to kill me during a match with a sniper rifle and he literally signed his full name, home address, and phone number.[2] | " |
Vasović reportedly received YUD5 million (enough to buy two Mercedes vehicles at the time) from Red Star.[3]
At the start of the new league season, Vasović got a spot in Red Star's central defense alongside Milan Čop and Vojkan Melić. His first competitive match for Red Star was also the grand opening of the club's still not fully finished grandiose new stadium Marakana as crveno-beli came from behind to beat NK Rijeka 2-1. The team easily led the league by five points at the winter break while defending league champion Partizan lagged far behind.
Over the winter break another transfer saga involving Vasović ensued as Partizan club president Radaković was successful in persuading the player to come back for even more money than Red Star gave him. Vasović agreed, but he was under contract with Red Star and the club didn't want to sign off on the move despite being offered some money as a transfer fee. Vasović even resorted to unilaterally training with his old club.
With the league season restarting following the winter break, Vasović was in legal limbo, out of the Red Star lineup, though still having his salary paid by the club. After several months of sitting out, Vasović got instructed by the Partizan vice-president Čeda Džomba to try and get a meeting with the highest political authority in SR Serbia at the time, federal interior secretary Aleksandar Ranković, in order to finally resolve the situation.[2] Vasović made the approach through private channels as his friend and teammate Zvezdan Čebinac was an old schoolmate of Ranković's son so Vasović managed to get a 45-minute meeting with Ranković at the recently built SIV building in New Belgrade where nothing concrete was promised other than Ranković saying he'll look into it.[2] Several months later Red Star's technical director Obradović agreed to let Vasović return to Partizan while in return, as consolation of sorts for Red Star, Partizan's club president Radaković agreed to allow Zvezdan Čebinac's transfer to Red Star.[2]
Return to Partizan[edit]
Vasović thus managed to get both his money and his wishes of return, but many within Partizan did not welcome him back with open arms. Some of the players saw his stunt as blackmail and were further unhappy that the club bent over backwards and accommodated any single player like that. Furthermore, his return took place against the backdrop of internal squabbles within the club's managing board, specifically between president Radaković and general-secretary Mirko Nenezić who acted as a proxy for his brother, powerful JNA general Radojica Nenezić. The row started over the internal decision to relieve general-secretary Nenezić of his duties as a person in charge of finances, a move pushed through by president Radaković.
As the 1964–65 season began under new head coach Aleksandar Atanacković, Partizan led the league, but with each coming week the row in the managing board increasingly affected player relations. By December 1964, ahead of the last league fixture before the winter break, two opposing camps clearly emerged within the team — one group supporting dissenting general-secretary Nenezić was led by Jusufi and also included Milan Galić, Radoslav Bečejac, Joakim Vislavski, and head coach Atanacković while the other group supporting president Radaković was led by Vasović with Vladica Kovačević, Zoran Miladinović, and several youth players. Remaining players Milutin Šoškić, Ivan Ćurković, Josip Pirmajer, and Branko Rašović stayed neutral. The dissenting group even resorted to initiating a mutiny, refusing to travel to Skopje for the final match of the first half of the season versus FK Vardar. Seeing they were missing half of their team along with head coach Atanacković, president Radaković handed the head coaching reins to Mile Kos for one match. In difficult circumstances, Kos managed to put together eleven players and Partizan managed to retain the top league spot as winter break commenced. The very next day after the Skopje debacle, head coach Atanacković was relieved of his duties as the two factions prepared for the final showdown at the club's general assembly scheduled for January 1965 at the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Law. The assembly saw the two groups of players make up. Still, the case even got to the highest echelons of power in Yugoslavia as general Ivan Gošnjak, reporting directly to marshal Tito, became aware of his fellow JNA generals causing problems within the Partizan management. Once Tito caught whiff of this, he acted swiftly, ordering action against each officer from the club's management board involved in the row by having them re-assigned to another location. General Radaković thus got moved to SR Slovenia while general Radojica Nenezić got assigned to Skopje. Vladimir Dujić, a civilian, became the new club president.[4] The head coaching duties were handed to Marko Valok.
Several months later Partizan played a friendly versus A.C. Milan that went down in infamy for Vasović getting into a vicious fist fight with Milan's Peruvian defender Víctor Benítez, all of which prompted a bench-clearing brawl. Though unpleasant, the ugly fracas actually served to further solidify the newly unified team spirit of the recently fractured Partizan squad.[2]
Vaske transferred to Ajax Amsterdam after he had lost 2–1 to Real Madrid with FK Partizan in 1966 European Cup Final (scoring the only goal for his team). He did the same (4–1 loss to A.C. Milan, scoring from the spot) in 1969 European Cup Final, before leading Ajax as captain to a 2–0 victory over Panathinaikos in 1971 European Cup Final.
He played 5 seasons for the Dutch giants (1966–1971) and was the first foreign captain in club's history.
He played 32 games for Yugoslavia national football team. During his career with FK Partizan he won 4 Yugoslav Championships (1960–61, 1961–62, 1962–63, 1964–65) and leading Partizan as captain to the 1966 European Cup Final.
Vasović's career was relatively short. He only played 13 professional seasons due to the asthmatic condition he was suffering from.
Coaching career[edit]
After ending his career as a player in 1971, he coached FK Partizan (second part of 1971–72 season, full 1972–73, and the first part of 1973–74), Proleter Zrenjanin, Angers SCO (1975–1976), Paris Saint-Germain (first part of 1976–77 and the first part of 1978–79 seasons).[5] He also managed Egyptian club Zamalek SC (1982–1983), Ethnikos Piraeus (1983), Red Star Belgrade (1986–1988), and AC Bellinzona (1989)[6] before returning home to Belgrade and working as a lawyer. During his coaching career, he managed to win one Yugoslav Championship, in 1987–88 season, with Red Star.

Other endeavours[edit]
Vasović was one of the strongest and most persistent critics of the Yugoslav FA (FSJ) leadership, especially its longtime president Miljan Miljanić. His criticism particularly intensified after the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia. In 1997 Vasović founded an organization called Udruženje za razvoj i prosperitet jugoslovenskog fudbala (Organization for the Development and Prosperity of Yugoslav Football) through which he channeled his criticism of the FSJ.
Throughout the summer of 2000 he spoke at various town hall meetings throughout Serbia organized by the Yugoslav Left (JUL), a political party headed by the Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević's wife Mira Marković. On October 10, 2000, five days after the overthrow of Milošević's regime in Serbia, Vasović and about a dozen bodyguards broke into the FSJ offices at Terazije square in downtown Belgrade.[7] They attempted to use the post-overthrow chaos and confusion in order to gain an upper hand on the expected FA leadership change, however they were unsuccessful.[8]
He graduated from the University of Belgrade's Law School.
Velibor Vasović was married twice, first with Mirjana Vasović, and then to Branka Zorić. He had two sons, both with his first wife, Vladimir (1963) and Aleksandar (1968). From younger son he has granddaughter Tara (2009).
He died in 2002 following a heart attack at the age of 62[9] and was buried in the Alley of Distinguished Citizens at Belgrade's New Cemetery.

This month we are going to start a new "C Programming" column project. We are going to examine some of the problems associated with the maintenance of large text data bases. You might be familiar with the problem. You have a lot of reference material and you do not always know how to find what you are looking for. Sometimes the reference material is stored in text files. If you keep a lot of word processing files at work, or if you download a lot of software with .DOC or READ.ME files, your material is stored somewhere in ASCII text and would be ready to be read if only you could find it. Our new project will address the problems associated with locating the text files that have the information we need.
Someday everyone will have Optical Character Recognition scanners, and we will store all our books and magazines on disk. Maybe the magazines will begin to sell their editorial content on diskettes or CD-ROM as well. When that happens, then all our reference works will be ready for treatment by a document processor similar to the one we will build here in this column.
There are a number of software packages that do what we will build here. Most CD-ROM distributions of large text data bases include such a system. We will build our own. That way each of us can customize it to our specific requirements. This software will be generic standard C. If you want to integrate it into a particular user platform, it should port with little difficulty. Our project will build a system that we will call TEXTSRCH.
There are a number of disciplines that we must address in the development of such a project. First, we must ask, given a large text data base and someone to search it, how does the search proceed? What are the search criteria and how will we express them to the software? These are the first requirements to consider, because they will determine what techniques we use to store and find things. Next, once we identify files of text that match our search criteria, how must the system present them to us?
A document retrieval system such as TEXTSRCH works best in an environment where the data files are static. There is a lot of text and it does not change much. Users control changes with addendum or replacement documents at scheduled intervals. Typical applications are engineering specifications, maintenance manuals, and reference libraries.
To build the data base, you collect the documents in a controlled location, perhaps its own subdirectory, and then you build an index. The index supports searches. Some systems require you to manually examine every document and mark all the phrases that will appear in the index. Others build the index by automatically scanning the text and extracting words. We will use this second approach.
You want to use this kind of system on a static data base because the indexing operation can take a long time.
With the data base in place and the index built, you are ready to perform retrievals. Let's first discuss how such searches will proceed. Someone will want to find all references to a word or phrase in the data base. Perhaps you will want every reference to the phrase, "object-oriented programming." You must tell the system what you want, and it must tell you where you can find those references. But suppose you are interested only in references to OOP that are specifically about Smalltalk. Then you might want your search to deliver only those files where both key phrases appear. Another search might want to specifically exclude references to C++, and so you must be able to tell the system about that requirement as well.
You can see where we are heading. It is apparent at the outset that we need some form of structured query language with Boolean operators. We need to be able to parse an expression such as this one:
Our expressions will have operators with precedence, so we will need to use parentheses to override the default precedence assigned by the parser, making an expression such as this one possible:
All of what just preceded leads us to our first installment. The first set of functions that we will develop will parse such query expressions and prepare them for a retrieval pass at the data base. Listing One, page 164, is textsrch.h. This listing is one that will grow over the months. As we add features, we will add macros, prototypes, and such to textsrch.h. This month it contains what we need for expression analysis.
Listing Two, page 164, is express.c, the code that parses our expressions. It begins with a modified BNF that describes the query language. As you can see, it isn't very complex. A program that wants to parse an expression calls the lexical_scan function in this module. The function returns a NULL if it finds an error. If the expression is correct, the function returns a pointer to the parsed expression, which is represented in the form of tokens suitable for processing by an expression interpreter.
The lexical_scan function calls the expression function to check the expression for syntax and to convert it into tokens. The syntax check uses a recursive descent parser. That is, if the expression function finds a left parentheses in the stream, it calls itself to validate the expression that is in parentheses, and then, when it returns, it expects to find a right parenthesis. If it finds the unary NOT operator, it calls itself to check the expression that follows the operator. If it finds a word or phrase -- a phrase in our context consists of a group of words surrounded by double quotes -- it looks at the next element in the expression. If that element is the binary AND or OR operator, the expression function calls itself to check the expression to the right of the operator.
While validating the expression, the program converts it into tokens. Each language element is a one-character token, and the tokens are written into an array in the order in which they occur. When the token is a word or phrase, which is assigned the OPERAND token, an associated string contains the value of the word or phrase.
After the expression is found to be correct and the tokens are built, the lexical_scan function calls the postfix function. Its purpose is to convert the token stream from infix notation to postfix notation. An expression in infix notation uses defined operator precedence with parentheses to override the defaults. This is the notation we use when we compose the query. It is also the notation used by the C language. The postfix notation (also called Reverse Polish Notation) eliminates the parentheses and represents precedence by the proximity of tokens to one another. Users of SNOBOL, Forth, and TI scientific calculators will recognize the notation.
An infix expression places a binary operator between the operands as shown here:
The postfix version of this expression pushes the operands on a stack followed by the operator as shown here:
(In these examples, I've used the angle brackets to set operators apart from the operands on the stack.)
A parenthesized infix expression such as this:
is represented on the postfix stack this way:
Evaluation of a postfix expression is a stack operation. The top element is popped. If the element is an operand, we use the operand to derive the value of the expression. If the element is a unary operator, the next element is popped and evaluated, the unary operator is applied to it, and the result is pushed. If the element is a binary operator, the next two operators are popped, the binary operator is applied to them, and the result is pushed. Then the procedure repeats until the element popped is a single result. Each pop is a recursive repeat of the entire procedure. In our case the pushed results are true or false values within the data base document depending on the search results. Each time we pop a word or phrase, we see if it is in the data base and, if so, in which files. The result of that search is pushed. We'll get further into the details of expression evaluation next month.
Conversion from infix notation to postfix notation is a simple matter. The procedure is described in detail in Fundamentals of Data Structures, Horowitz and Sahni, 1976, Computer Science Press, on pages 91 - 97. We implement this procedure in the functions postfix, isp, icp, and poststack.
Listing Three, page 167, is testexpr.c, a program to test our expression analyzer and display the results. It is a throwaway program not to be used in the project beyond its purpose as a test and demonstration tool. You type your expression into the gets function. Use words and phrases with interspersed operators. The valid operators are AND, OR, and NOT. The purpose of the query is to express a pattern of words and phrases that do or do not appear in the text data base. The TEXTSRCH program will find files that match the query expression. Typical expressions are these:
The testexpr program will report a syntax error by displaying a pointer symbol below the expression element where it found the error. If the expression is correct, the program will display the postfix stack in this format:
Enter the search expression: fortran or (cobol and not pascal)
Press the Enter key with no expression to terminate the program. Next month we'll discuss how we will index the data base and how that index will deliver our query results.
Are you looking for a stocking stuffer for yourself this season? There is a new book called Object-Oriented Program Design With Examples in C++, by Mark Mullins. The book is more about object-oriented programming and design than about C++, but it uses C++ for examples and is an indispensable addition to your library if you are trying to figure out OOP and C++.
Mullin takes a unique approach to these subjects. Instead of presenting just another enhancement to the AT&T C++ reference documents and Stroustrup's book, he teaches the basics of object-oriented design and uses C++ to demonstrate the lessons. Follow this book from beginning to end, and you will have a manageable grasp on object-oriented design and programming by the time you're done.
Mullin's book also teaches valuable lessons about the general approach a programmer uses in the design of software systems, object oriented or not, and he does it with a writing style that informs and often entertains the reader. Every now and then he slips in a dry joke that goes by almost unnoticed.
To show you how to design an object-oriented system, Mullin undertakes the development of an integrated information management system for a fictional company. This is the first extensive treatment of OOP I've seen that uses real, believable examples of things that a programmer might encounter in the real world. Most writers build contrived analogies that attempt to relate abstract examples of toasters, fruit, or other silly non-automata to the mysterious things that the object-oriented paradigm calls objects. Mullin uses inventory, sales and personnel database records to demonstrate the development of a class hierarchy to support his hypothetical design. These are things we can all associate with.
Perhaps you've never worked on an inventory system, but you can readily see what one might need to do. If there is a warehouse full of stuff and you need to locate specific items, fill orders for items, and replace what you sell, then you need an inventory system. I've worked on several. The smallest was for a video tape store; the largest was for spare parts for the Space Shuttle. Their respective functional requirements were similar. The inventory management folks call it "material requirements planning." George Carlin calls it "keeping track of your stuff." Mullin takes this mundane application, one that everyone will recognize, and designs an object-oriented software system to support it.
Mullin traces the design in the manner in which it might actually occur. The false starts, the refinement of requirements, the incremental development of an object-oriented data model, he presents them all in the sequence in which you would encounter them during a real-design project. As he proceeds, Mullin tells you how you should be thinking about the objects and their place in the class hierarchy.
Mullin's design sometimes tends to build his data base by using views that seem -- at least to me -- to be unnatural. Object-oriented design involves building base classes and derived classes in a class hierarchy. Because every entity in his data base has a name and address, Mullin starts out with a new class named "Entity" that contains name and address members. Then he derives everything else from that class. This is not the natural view of things. We are not necessarily always subordinate to our common denominators. Because we all have addresses does not mean that we are subordinate to those addresses. I think we are seeing the tendency of the object-oriented paradigm to bend our perspective in inappropriate directions. The solution to a problem should resemble the problem, and names and addresses are components of their owners, not the other way around. I would have created the Entity class with its name and address members and then included an instance of that class in each of the classes that require it. The functional result would be the same but we would not be forced to perceive our data base from an illogical perspective just to adhere to hierarchical dogma. But then, I do not know enough about object-oriented design to write a book. Not yet, at least.
My only other criticism of this book is that Mullin and his editors do not seem to know that the word "data" is a plural noun. But then, many of my colleagues here at DDJ don't know that either, and I forget sometimes, too. That criticism aside, this is a very good book. OOP and C++ have been begging for literary treatments this good, and I'm happy to see it finally happening.
The ANSI standard C specification has introduced something the committee calls "stringizing," not a real word, an abomination actually, but a new concept in preprocessing, nonetheless. (If K&R can give us "initializer," also not a word, I guess X3J11 similarly presumed that they could extend English while they extended C.)
The trouble with the ANSI document is that it often fails to provide any basis for a particular extension to classic C. In too many cases the committee leaves it to us to figure out why they included a particular feature. They will describe the feature and perhaps provide examples of how a conforming compiler must behave, but they do not adequately provide the motive behind it all. The rationale document that accompanies the specification is supposed to fill these information gaps but too often it does not or tries and fails. Such is the case with the preprocessor's # operator on #define macro parameter substitutions, the so-called "stringizing" feature. They tried to explain it, but I do not understand the explanation. If you do not already know how you might use the # feature, you might not be able to guess its purpose from the description in the specification even when you know what it does. What we can do is look at what it does and see if this solution solves some problem we might have. The # operator turns a parameter into a string. That's all it does. Here is an example:
This macro expands the hello parameter into a string so that the printf call looks like this after the substitution:
The preprocessor performs any other translations on the parameters before it builds the string as shown here:
This sequence converts to this:
Why would you want to do any of that? If you know you want HELLO to be "HELLO" or goodbye to be "goodbye," why not just code it that way in the first place? Let's try to dream up a circumstance where this feature might have some use. One possibility that comes to mind is in the realm of debugging. You can use the # operator to create a TRACE macro that traces selected expressions in your program on the console. You can turn the TRACE on and off with a global compile-time variable. Here is the macro:
Suppose your program has an expression that you want to trace on the console. If this is the expression:
To trace this expression, you can recode it with the TRACE macro like this:
Now whenever the expression is executed with the DEBUGGING global variable defined, the expression's code is displayed on the console, as well as being evaluated because the statement is preprocessed to this sequence:
Notice that the two components of the macro expansion, the printf and the strlen calls are comma separated. This guarantees that the strlen, which is the rightmost expression, returns the value required when the expression is evaluated. Notice also that the two are surrounded by parentheses. If they were not, we would get the wrong value in the "b" integer because the assignment operator has a higher precedence than the comma operator.
Next month the ANSI Corner will explore the ## token pasting operator. We will, that is, if I can figure out a useful application for token pasting.

After an extremely mild flu season last year, confirmed cases of influenza infection are climbing rapidly nationwide and expected to reach the epidemic level well in advance of the peak of flu season that typically occurs in January or February.
In North Carolina, 77 confirmed cases of flu and two flu-related deaths since October have public health officials in that state expressing concern as to whether the early and rapid climb of influenza infection is an indication of a particularly harsh flu season to come or merely an early peak.
In Tennessee, where flu data is not collected comprehensively but at "sentinel" health care offices dispersed across the state, the flu has been confirmed in more than 2 percent of patients tested in West Tennessee and in the Knoxville area, although "not a lot" in Northeast Tennessee, said Dr. David Kirschke, medical director of the Northeast Regional Health Office in Johnson City.

In his first speech since publication of the Francis inquiry into problems at Stafford Hospital, Mr Hunt will announce that the NHS Confederation will lead a review of bureaucracy across the whole NHS and care system, with the aim of reducing red-tape by one-third.
