The class std::map<Key, Data, Compare, Alloc> is a standard [[C++]] container. It is a sorted associative array that maps objects of type Key to objects of type Data. The key values are unique; if an object is inserted with an already existing key, the object already present in the map is replaced by the new one.

The required time to randomly access each element is <math>O(\log(n))</math>, and the iterators are not invalidated by insert and erase operations (that don’t remove the object to which the iterator points); thus the usual implementation is a self-balancing binary search tree (but any other data structure that respects the complexity constraints can be used, like a skip list).

Internally, the elements in the map are sorted from lower to higher key value.

Usage

The map is declared in this format:

map <key_type, value_type [, comparing_option [, memory_allocator] ] > map_name

The following code demonstrates how to use the map to store attendance records:
<source lang=”cpp”>

1. include <iostream>
2. include <string>
3. include <map>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

   cout.setf(ios::boolalpha); //make boolean variables output as "true" or "false"
   map<string, bool> present;
   string s;

   while (cin >> s && s != "end")
       present[s] = true;

   while (cin >> s && s != "end")
       cout << s << ' ' << present[s] << endl;

}
</source>
When executed, the user first types in each name which is present, and a word “end” at the end of input; then the user can query for a name and “true” would be printed if the person queried was present, and “false” if not.

The above example also demonstrates that the operator [] inserts new objects (using the default constructor) in the map if there isn’t one associated with the key.

A File Control Block (FCB) is a file system structure in which the state of an open file is maintained.
The FCB originates from CP/M and is also present in all versions of MS-DOS. A full FCB is 36 bytes long; in early versions of CP/M, it was 33 bytes.

The meanings of several of the fields in the FCB differ between CP/M and MS-DOS, and also depending on what operation is being performed. The following fields have consistent meanings:

Usage

In CP/M and MS-DOS 1 (which did not include support for directories), the FCB was the only method of accessing files. When directories were introduced in MS-DOS 2, FCBs were superseded by file handles.

FCBs were supported in all versions of MS-DOS and Windows until the introduction of the FAT32 filesystem. Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me do not support the use of FCBs on FAT32 drives, except to read the volume label. This caused some old DOS applications, including Wordstar, to fail under these versions of Windows.

The FCB interface does not work properly on Windows NT, 2000, etc either - WordStar does not function properly on these operating systems. The emulator DOSEMU implements the FCB interface properly, and is one way to run older programs.

Light metals are metals of low atomic weight. The cutoff between light metals and heavy metals varies. Lithium, beryllium, sodium, magnesium and aluminum are almost always included. Additional metals up to nickel are often included as well. Metals heavier than nickel are usually called heavy metals. Light metals are generally less toxic than heavy metals. Beryllium is toxic, but it is rarely found in large concentrations. Vanadium, not always counted as a light metal, is also toxic. Other light metals are toxic in large amounts.

The World Scout Conference (WSC) is the general assembly of Scouting and is composed of six delegates from each of the 155 member Scout associations. It is one of three primary components of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM); with the other two being the World Scout Committee and the World Scout Bureau. The basis for recognition and membership in the WSC includes adherence to the aims and principles of world Scouting and independence from political involvement on the part of each member association. The conference meets every three years and is hosted by a member association.

The 38th World Scout Conference will be in Korea from 28 July to 1 August 2008.

In group theory, a branch of mathematics, the baby-step giant-step algorithm refers to a series of well defined steps to compute the discrete logarithm. The discrete log problem is of fundamental importance to the area of public key cryptography. Many of the most commonly used cryptography systems are based on the assumption that the discrete log is extremely difficult to compute; the more difficult it is, the more security it provides a data transfer. One way to increase the difficulty of the discrete log problem is to base the crypto-system on a larger group.

Theory

The algorithm is based on a space-time tradeoff. It is a fairly simple modification of trial multiplication, the naive method of finding discrete logarithms.

Given are a cyclic group G of order n, a generator α of the group and a group element β.
The problem is to find an integer x such that

<math>\alpha^x = \beta\,.</math>

where α, β and n are given. The baby-step giant-step algorithm is based on rewriting x as x = im + j, with m constant and 0 ≤ i, j < m. Therefore, we have:

<math>\beta(\alpha^{-m})^i=\alpha^j\,.</math>

The algorithm precomputes α^j for several values of j. Then it fixes an m and tries values of i in the left-hand side of the congruence above, in the manner of trial multiplication. It tests to see if the congruence is satisfied for any value of j, using the precomputed values of α^j.

The algorithm

Input: A cyclic group G of order n, having a generator α and an element β.

Output: A value x satisfying <math>\alpha^{x}=\beta</math>.

1. m ← Ceiling(√n)
2. For all j where 0 ≤ j < m:
   1. Compute α^j and store the pair (j, α^j) in a table. (See section “In practice”)
3. Compute α^−m.
4. γ ← β.
5. For i = 0 to (m − 1):
   1. Check to see if γ is the second component (α^j) of any pair in the table.
   2. If so, return im + j.
   3. If not, γ ← γ • α^−m.

In practice

The best way to speed up the baby-step giant-step algorithm is to use an efficient table lookup scheme. The best in this case is a hash table. The hashing is done on the second component, and to perform the check in step 1 of the main loop, γ is hashed and the resulting memory address checked. Since hash tables can retrieve and add elements in O(1) time (constant time), this does not slow down the overall baby-step giant-step algorithm.

The running time of the algorithm is:

<math>O(\sqrt{n}).</math>

The space complexity is the same.

Notes

• The baby-step giant-step algorithm is a generic algorithm. It works for every finite cyclic group.
• It is not necessary to know the order of the group G in advance. The algorithm still works if n is merely an upper bound on the group order.
• Usually the baby-step giant-step algorithm is used for groups whose order is prime. If the order of the group is composite then the Pohlig-Hellman algorithm is more efficient.
• The algorithm requires O(m) memory. It is possible to use less memory by choosing a smaller m in the first step of the algorithm. Doing so increases the running time, which then is O(n/m). Alternatively one can use Pollard’s rho algorithm for logarithms, which has about the same running time as the baby-step giant-step algorithm, but only a small memory requirement.

PC64 aka Personal 64 is a Commodore 64 emulator written by Wolfgang Lorenz. It was originally released as shareware. In 1997, Wolfgang Lorenz decided to stop the development and sale of PC64 and he released it as freeware. At the time, there weren’t many C64 emulators.

PC64 was released for DOS and Windows.

In 1995, PC64 was one of the first practical Commodore 64 emulators for PCs. Another early Commodore 64 emulator is C64S.

Fourth is a 1971 studio album by the Canterbury band Soft Machine. This was the last of their album’s to include drummer and founding member Robert Wyatt who afterwards left the band to found Matching Mole.

In 1999, Soft Machine albums Fourth and Fifth were re-released together on one CD.

Review

At the time the band’s music was moving away from their original brand of psychedelic and progressive rock towards jazz fusion; Fourth is the first of their purely instrumental albums.

“Around the World” is the tenth single release by the Scandinavian dance-pop group Aqua overall, and the second from their second album Aquarius. The song was also their seventh and last release in the United Kingdom before their split in mid-2001. “Around the World” was released mostly in May of 2000, with the UK release following in December. The UK release was their lowest chart single there, reaching only #26 (admittedly against the tough Christmas market). The chart position showed that their popularity had fell, and resulted in the follow-up “Bumble Bees” not being released there at all (although, the song “Freaky Friday” had been lined up as a third release shortly before their split).

“Around the World” was, like “Cartoon Heroes”, a more anthemic song than those from the Aquarium era. The slight change in style had lost them some of their fans, only without gaining new ones, resulting in less interest in the single release. The music video for the song featured the members of the band stealing a valuable diamond.

Green Chri$tma$ is a piece of audio theater written and performed by Stan Freberg and Daws Butler, released by Capitol Records in 1958 (catalog number F 4097). Mr. Scrooge (Freberg), the head of an unnamed advertising agency, has gathered a group of clients to discuss tying their products into Christmas. One attendee, Bob Cratchit (Butler), wants to resist tying his spice company into Christmas, preferring to send Christmas cards with a simple message of “Peace on Earth.” Scrooge extols the virtues of making money off of Christmas, and Cratchit counters by reminding Scrooge “whose birthday we’re celebrating.”

The piece is a scathing indictment of the commercialization of Christmas, with references of Christmas-themed advertising by Coca-Cola and Chesterfield Cigarettes, among others. The names of the characters are taken from A Christmas Carol In Prose by Charles Dickens, as is one of the products “advertised” (”Tyn-E-Tim Chestnuts”). Green Chri$tma$ also contains a parody of the Christmas carol The Twelve Days Of Christmas and an original song by Freberg, Christmas Comes But Once A Year.

Of especially noteworthy importance is the impact of this song’s message in the heart of corporate America, as reflected in the fact that it received no commercial AM radio airplay until 1983; only getting a little FM airplay before that (such as on the Doctor Demento Show) and only slightly more AM airtime after 1983. Beginning in 1972, Capitol reissued the single as catalog number 3503, dividing the piece into two parts; it remained in the Christmas singles section of record stores for years thereafter.

This article is about the song entitled “the Land”. For other uses see The Land (disambiguation).

The Land is a protest song, traditionally sung by the Georgist movement in pursuit and promotion of land value taxation. Until the late 1970s it was sung at the end of each year’s Liberal Assembly and remains until this day the party anthem of the Liberal Party, as well as the traditional first song of the Liberal Democrats’ Glee Club. During the chorus, the phrase ‘ballot in our hand’ is accompanied by the collective waving of any paper to hand (usually a liberator song book) by the audience.

Lyrics

Note - to the tune of Marching Through Georgia.

Sound the call for freedom boys, and sound it far and wide,
March along to victory, for God is on our side,
While the voice of nature thunders o’er the rising tide:
“God gave the land to the people.”

Chorus

The land, the land,
‘Twas God who made the land,
The land, the land,
The ground on which we stand,
Why should we be beggars
With a ballot in our hand?
God gave the land to the people.

Hark! The sound is spreading from the east and from the west!
Why should we work hard and let the landlords take the best?
Make them pay their taxes on the land just like the rest!
The land was meant for the people.

Chorus

Clear the way for liberty, the land must all be free,
None of us shall falter from the fight tho’ stern shall be.
‘Til the flag we love so well shall fly from sea to sea,
O’er the land that is free for the people.

Chorus

The army now is marching on, the battle to begin,
The standard now is raised on high to face the battle din,
We’ll never cease from fighting ’til the victory we win,
And the land is free for the people.

Chorus
