but I will not go into the consideration of that question. My noble friend seems, however, very much to undervalue the security which the intimate connection between the protestant establishment and the government gives to the constitution. My own view of the Revolution of 1688 is this—that the church establishment of the country, as it nowekists, having always been anobjectofaffection to the government, the Revolution was as much founded upon the principle that the state should be protestant as that the monarchy should be limited. The object sought by that great event was the maintenance of our religious, civil, and political liberties together. "In viewing this question, let me entreat noble i. to consider upon what principle you can justify the limitation of the crown to a protestant succession, if this question, as of right, can be admitted You have done away all restrictions upon the catholics short of political power, and now it is desired to surrender that. If this is a question of expediency I can understand it; but if it is argued as a question of right, you have no alternative, and you can do nothing else. That they will not stop at the point that we may think expedient is pretty evident—the prayer of this petition is for every thing. You are not desired to consider their case with a view to give them any particular privilege, or a part of what they ask ; but you are called upon not only to give every thing, but to consider their demand upon the ground of right. My lords, it is an essential principle of your protestant constitution, that your king be a protestant; yet I ask upon what principle of justice it is you can exclude the catholics from having a catholic prince in possession of the crown : If you surrender what they now claim, then I would ask you, would you put a Ro
man catholic family on the throne: and if you would not, how could you exclude the Roman catholics, if it be their right, from the benefit of having a catholic monarch 2 I do therefore maintain, that the very essence and principle of the Revolution was that you should have a limited monarchy; and that the state should be protestant. I am thoroughly satisfied that in the present state of things, no benefit can arise from the discussion of this subject. You are called upon to make, not a particular concession, but to concede the whole; and upon grounds, as I think, inconsistent with the general security of the establishment of your country; and therefore I give my opposition to this motion." Having thus submitted ample speci. mens of the sentiments and reasonings of the leading men in both houses of parliament on each side of this great question, the chapter shall be concluded by a few general reflections. Every man who is capable of taking a dispassionate view of this, subject, must be aware, that in the heat of controversy many very silly arguments have been urged on both sides, from which it were well if the subject could be disencumbered. It would be too much to say, that even the discussions of the legislature have been untainted with this species of folly, ge. nerated in the violence of debate, and the desire of victory; while the proceedings of the catholics themselves have been wholly stained and debased by the most despicable extravagances. It might have been supposed, for instance, that a general assent would have been given to some leading propositions, not less obvious to common sense than to the most refined philosophy; viz. That the end of all free governments is the general benefit of society; that the greatest benefit is produced by the equal par
* ticipation of all classes of the people in the rights and privileges of the constitution; and that under such a government, therefore, all the subjects are entitled to the same privileges, unless some weighty reasons can be urged to justify an exception. The right of the people may not be what is called an at: right, that is, it cannot be vindicated by force, since no abstract reasoning can for a moment imply an appeal to force against the Supreme power of the state. But all classes of the people have a fair and unquestionable claim, in justice and policy, to an equal participation, not of some but of all the privileges which are enjoyed by their fellow subjects, a claim which cannot belawfully resisted, unless some strong case of necessity is made out to justify the exclusion. The necessity which creates also limits the fight exercised by the supreme power; and any disability imposed, any abatement of privilege—without a cogent reason to justify it,--is an act of mere tyranny. It is not the business of him who is excluded or oppressed to shew that he may be safely admitted to the *joyment of his rights; he pleads the great and general #. which sustains the very being of society, and requires "t arguments to make it out ; his * is established if his adversary, on whom the whole burden of the proof * cannot justify the exception.— * reflections expose the folly of 5 distinction which is so ignorantly *" by some persons—a distinction oxt toleration and power—a distinction which falsely assumes, that if Pons whose religious sentiments dif* from those of the established church are merely tolerated, they have * ight to complain, and that their olution from power requires no jus"fication. The Catholić or the is. *r have an irresistible answer to * Puerilities; they are entitled to *y that what is called power is their
birth-right, as well as that of their fellow-citizens, and unless it can be proved that there is a clear advantage to the state, in giving a monopoly of powers to certain classes, and that there would be danger in admitting others to an equal participation, no benefit can be derived from the distinction. The extent to which the measures of exclusion ought to be carried, is a question, not of principle but of degree: and the catholic or dissenter is still injured, if he be deprived but of one insignificant privilege, to which his fellow subjects are entitled. He who owes a debt, does not discharge it by paying one half, nor by paying up to the last shilling, if that shilling be still withheld ; the catholic is the creditor of the state for his natural privileges; and unless, he has done something to forfeit them, no part can be refused him. Those who resist catholic emancipation on such grounds, are the worst enemies of that cause which they are so forward to espouse. Lord Wellesley declared, "that the claim of the catholics is not a claim of right; that the question before the legislature was a question of mere political expediency." He must by this have meant to express his disapprobation of the doctrines propagated by some insane persons, who described the catholic claims as claims of abstract right, which under any circumstances must be conceded. There is not—there cannot be, any such thing as abstract right—the adage fiat justitia ruat calum, as applied to politics, is a brilliant absurdity ; all that the most virtuous and enlightened mind will require on a great question of policy, is, that no base motives should interfere with the distribution of national justice, not that, from a veneration for empty sounds, the being or happiness of society should be hazarded. In this limited and intelligible sense, the claims of the catholics are as much claims of right as any other pretensions submitted to the cognizance of legislative wisdom. This concession, however, alters not the basis on which these claims must for ever rest. Those rights which are recognized,—that justice which is reverenced solely because it is necessary to the support of the social order, can never demand that any thing should be done which may bring into peril the repose, nay, the very exist'ence, of that frame of society which our duty and our interests alike call upon us to support. The catholic can gain no advantage, therefore, by stating his claim as a matter of right; his enemies may concede so much without fear or hesitation, but he himself, if he really wish to succeed, should direct all his efforts towards convincing his fellow-subjects, that he may be safely admitted into the bosom of the constitution. It is a singular circumstance, that in the beginning of the 19th century, the statesmen of the most enlightened nation of Europe should be chiefly occupied in adjusting the pretensions of religious sects; and it is no less curious, that scholastic questions should find their way into a great controversy of practical politics. It can never be an essential part of the constitution to exclude a large proportion of the subjects from the power and honours which are accessible to others. Those who maintain a different opinion, offer an insult to that constitution, of which it is probable they understand but little; they affirm, that under any circumstances, how favourable soever to the most generous and liberal principles, the British constitution prescribes the degradation of a portion of the people. Yet this venerable pile was constructed, we are told, for the security and protection, the comfort, and happiness of the whole people; it was reared, in
deed, in an age when a spirit of turbulence made it necessary to surround it with many defences, which were nei. ther essential to its integrity, nor propitious to its elegance; but when bet. ter days shall arrive—when its defenders shall become so powerful, and its enemies so weak, that it might safely be stripped of these cumbrous appendages, how stupid must that veneration for ancient deformity be, which with religious care would still retain so much of what would be at once useless and inelegant 2 If the British constitution were, indeed, such as it has been represented; if it were constructed on the principles of eternal exclusion and endless tyranny; if it i. alarm when the danger ad subsided, and immortalised animosities, which time might already have extinguished, every wise and good man would pray as devoutly for its speedy apotheosis, as he now with a fervour, not less than that of Roman patriotism, will exclaim, Esto perpetua / It is quite absurd to pretend, in defence of their exclusion from political power, that the great body of the catholics suffer no injury; that the whole clamour originates in the ambition of a few individuals, and that the Fo have no interest in the dispute. ven if it were true that only the higher orders of the catholics suffer from the existing disabilities, and if it were also true that they suffer without reason, the danger of refusing to accede to their just claims might be less imminent; but the moral obligation to grant relief would not be less binding. The most galling tyranny to its victims, is that which selects but a small number for vengeance, and leaves them without even the consolation which is derived from a community of suffering. But is it true that the higher orders—the candidates for the great honours of the state, are alone
affected by the disabilities 2 is it true that in this free country the distribution of honours is confined to certain privileged orders, and that genius humbly born dares not look forward to its due reward 2 No man will presume to say this ; so that although the remaining disabilities which attach to the catholics may affect but a small number, even of their nobles, in the way of actual exclusion from power, they damp the hopes and repress the energies of all; they wound the reputation of the whole professors of the catholic religion, and lower their rank in the scale of society. Hope and fear are passions opposite in their nature, yet analogous in their operation; when you repress hope, you mortify the feelings of a thousand, whom you do not positively injure in the vulgar sense of the word; when you excite a general alarm, you may agitate the passions of multitudes, whom the evil so much dreaded can never overtake. It is insulting to tell the catholics, that as a body they should not complain of the disabilities imposed on them, because a very inconsiderable propertion of them can ever attain the honours and the power from which they complain of a peremptory exclusion. As a question of the actual enjoyment of power and emolument, the catholic question is indeed nothing; but as a question of character and reputation in society; as a point of honour to which high-minded men must be acutely sensible, it is every thing which can agitate their feelings and rouse them to exertion. Hope is the grand stimulus to every noble enterprise; the spring which gives life to society, and generates all its comforts and refinements;" yet hope is denied to all by a system which is vainly represented as affecting only a small number of the people. By the disabilities on the catholics, the actual enjoyment of power is denied but to a
few ; yet the deadening influence of such laws extends to all who may under a free government aspire to its highest dignities; that is, embraces the whole population which professes the Roman catholic religion. It is vain and extravagant, therefore, in the highest degree, to attempt to palliate the evils . any system of exclusion; they are great and prominent; and the only question is, whether a change may be effected without danger to the civil and religious institutions of the country, which we are all bound to defend, even ad internecionem. It is an unfortunate circumstance that the enemies of catholic emancipation should have shielded themselves under the coronation oath, and should haveentangled their causewith so much sophistry, which no talent could ever reconcile to common sense and upright feelings. To conscientious scruples existing in the breast of an illustrious individual, the loyalty and affection of his people might well pay the highest respect; the paternal cares and distinguished virtuesof the sovereign displayed in a long reign, were more than sufficient to command the love and veneration of a generous people. Yet as the king of England is not responsible for any measure of policy, his ministers could not be bound by the private sentiments of their sovereign ; and although it might have been highly imprudent in them to press a measure to which he was averse, and to which he could at the last stage have given his negative, still it was their duty, if they differed in opinion, to remonstrate with firmness, yet with respect, against sentiments which they could not approve, and to refuse encountering the danger of responsibility, while they were not enabled to exercise their legitimate and constitutional influence. Thus far it was at all times their duty to go; yet, in the whole circumstances of the case, it might
have been wise for ministers, as well as for the catholics themselves, to have refrained entirely from altercations, which must always have proved unavailing. The respect, however, which is due to the opinions of the sovereign, could extend only to a decent and becoming submission in circumstances believed to be temporary; but could never require a sacrifice of the sentiments which every man is entitled to express, even on the most delicate subjects. Hence it was boldly and justly declared on many different occasions, that the coronation oath opposed no real obstacle to the concession of the catholic claims; that the oath was taken by the king as executive magistrate, and not as a branch of the legislature, and that it imported only an obligation that he should act in his executive capacity agreeably to the laws of the land as established by parliament. If a different construction were put on the coronation oath, what would be the consequence 2 That no change could, at any time, be made in the laws either as to church or state, since the coronation oath comprehends both ; that every thing which has already been done for the catholics amounted to a gross violation of the constitution; and that the legislative power of the British parliament, of which the king is the most venerable branch, must be annihilated. But this argument could not bear consideration for a moment; while it was considered as the offspring of an honourable delicacy in the highest quarter, it was with becoming patience endured; but no sooner was it brought forward as the weapon of bigotry, than it was consigned to merited scorn. It is not, therefore, because a large proportion of the people may with impunity be excluded from the benefits of the constitution ; nor because the catholics have no claim of right to an alteration of the laws; nor because
the British constitution is essentially founded on a narrow and exclusive system; nor is it because the catholics are slightly affected by the existing disabilities, of which the coronation oath for ever forbids the removal, that enlightened men have hesitated about the unqualified concession of the catholic claims; such arguments are weak and unavailing, and prove only the pious, but ignorant zeal of the disputants, their laudable eagerness to rush into the contest, without the armour which is required to sustain the fury of the assault. The wars of politicians are in general very well supplied with recruits; yet we can scarcely recollect any great conflict of this kind into o a more undisciplined rabble has been enlisted on both sides, than that which has come forward to decide this awful contest. The pretended advocates of catholic emancipation, for scurrility, insolence, and baseness, have outdone every thing which was before known, even in this discontented island. Every threadbare argument, every vulgar piece of slan: der, every obscene thing, which could be purloined from newspapers, reviews, and other magazines of such interesting curiosities, has been seized by the miserable conscripts to hide their nakedness; yet so beggarly and scandalous is the appearance of the corps, and so disorderly their movements, that some of their own chiefs have declined to march along with them in their career of turbulence and treason. On the absurd notions of some of the anti-catholics, as they call themselves, we have already remarked, as we think, with impartial severity; yet stupid as they are, their quiet and peaceable demeanour is no more to be compared to the noisy and obtrusive vulgarity of their antagonists, than a methodistical meeting to an Irish fair. It is easy to enumerate and correct the errors of the protestants;

P.R.'z Fynest Clothing continues to make great strides in getting involved with all Latin events and productions.
P.R.'z Fynest, Inc. which launched their unique Latin branded clothing line in December of 2006 in the East Coast has made it a point to get involved and aid many events and productions throughout the country. They are building their reputation as a giving company through various media.

Their most recent contribution was to A Kiss of Chaos, LLC, the production company for the upcoming film "A Kiss of Chaos." P.R.'z Fynest sponsored clothing to the movie set.
A KISS OF CHAOS (AKOC) is a Latino thriller wherein an emotionally conflicted artist's life is dragged into a vortex of Chaos when both her bullet wounded thieving ex-boyfriend and HIV positive sister end up on her door steps and back in her life the same day, and the events that unfold putting her life in grave danger.
A KISS OF CHAOS follows Phoenix (Judy Marte), Isis (Gleendilys Inoa), Angel (Michael Rivera), Tony (Manny Perez) and Tiffany (Stephanie Ortiz) as their lives converge on a course of tragic events. This crime-thriller is a wild ride that keeps viewers locked in from start to finish, as the five interconnected stories unravel. The characters and their conflicts are unique and the story is told in an unconventional manner, and its fast paced execution makes it as exhausting as it is exhilarating.

5.2. Explain basic hashing concepts and map various algorithms to appropriate applications.
Hashing is a type of cryptography that isn't an encryption algorithm. Instead, hashing is used to produce a unique identifier—known as a hash value, hash, checksum, message authentication code (MAC), fingerprint, or message digest—of data. The data could be a file, a hard drive, a network traffic packet, or an e-mail message. The hash value is used to detect when changes have been made to a resource. In other words, hashing is used to detect violations of data integrity.
For example, a hash value computed now may be compared with a hash value created last week. If the two values are the same, the data hasn't been changed. If the two values are different, ...

Premium member Presentation Transcript Introduction To NP-Completeness: Introduction To NP-CompletenessImportance of NP-completeness: Most of the algorithms we have studied have polynomial-time running times and the polynomial time algorithms are considered to be tractable. But no polynomial time algorithm has yet been discovered for any NP-complete problem and therefore are intractable , which needs the design of good approximation algorithm Importance of NP-completenessDecision problem vs. Optimization problem: In Decision problems we are trying to decide whether a statement is true or false. In Optimization problem we are trying to find the solution with the best possible score according to some scoring scheme. Optimization problem can either be maximization problem , where we are trying to maximize a certain score, or minimization problem ,where we are trying to minimize a cost function. Decision problem vs. Optimization problemContd..: NP-Completeness has been studied in the framework of decision problems.Most problems are not decision problems , but optimization problem. In order to apply the theory of NP-Completeness to optiimization problems , we must recast them as decision problems. If the optimization problem is easy , then related decision problem is easy as well. Contd..The class P: Class P contains those decision problems that are solvable in polynomial time. They are problems that can be solved in O( n k ) time, where n is the input size and k is a constant. Example: The Minimization spanning tree problem is in class p. The class PPowerPoint Presentation: Formally the class P is defined as p={L | L=L(M) for some Turing machine M that runs in polynomial time} where L(M) is the language accepted by M solved by conventional computer in polynomial time O(1) constant O(log n) sub-linear O(n) linear O(n log n) nearly linear O(n 2 ) quadratic polynomial upper and lower boundsThe class NP: NP is the set of decision problems with the following property: If the answer is YES, then there is a proof of this fact that can be checked in polynomial time. Intuitively, NP is the set of decision problems where we can verify a YES answer quickly if we have the solution in front of us. The class NPContd..: For example, the circuit satisfiability problem is in NP. If the answer is YES, then any set of m input values that produces TRUE output is a proof of this fact; we can check the proof by evaluating the circuit in polynomial time. Contd..The class co-NP: Co-NP is the opposite of NP. If the answer to a problem in co-NP , then there is a proof of this fact that can be checked in polynomial time. UNSAT : Given a boolean formula p, does p has no satisfiable assignment ? The class co-NPRelationship between class P , NP and co-NP: The class of question for which the answer is YES can be verified is called class NP. So P ⊆ NP The class of question for which the answer is NO can be verified is called class co-NP. So P ⊆ co-NP So, P ⊆ NP ∩ co-NP Relationship between class P , NP and co-NPPowerPoint Presentation: Whether P = NP ? for that we have to show, NP ⊆ P That is enough to show that if the optimization version of an NP-complete problem can be solved in polynomial time, then P = NP . A strong argument that you cannot solve the optimization version of an NP-complete problem in polynomial time.Reduction -- Transformation: The process of changing a problem to another problem. A problem Q is being reduced to another problem Q'– if any instance of Q can be easily rephrased as an instance of Q'. And hence-- the solution of the instance of Q' is going to help to find out the solution of the instance of Q. Reduction -- Transformation Yes, but ..What IS Reduction?? An Informal example: Yes, but ..What IS Reduction?? An Informal examplePoints to be noted: It means Sorting is "no harder to solve" than Finding-Min We are ignoring the type of problem or the time complexity of 'Finding-Min' problem and 'Sorting' problem Checking whether the activity of Reducer , which does a Reduction , is performed in Polynomial time or not. Points to be notedA Formal Example: A solution to a linear equation ax + b = 0 is a problem It can be transformed to 0x2 + ax + b = 0 -- a quadratic equation The quadratic equation's solution can be achieved by applying Shridhar Acharya Rule . --Hence this will provide a solution to the Linear equation's solution A Formal ExampleWhy Reducibility is needed?: On checking whether the problem is polynomial-time reducible to another problem will let us know the nature of the problem. We can say the hardness of a problem is almost same as that kind of a problem from which it is being reduced to. Why Reducibility is needed?Reduction Function: Using the method of Encoding , we can express a problem (specifically input instance) to a machine ( turing machine) understandable language/expression (Formal language). A formal language L' is polynomial-time reducible to L, denoted as: L' p L , if there exists a polynomial-time computable function f: {0,1}* → {0,1}* such that for all x {0,1}*, x L' if and only if f (x) L The function f is reduction function and the polynomial-time algorithm F that computes f is a reduction algorithm . Reduction FunctionDefinition of NP-Hard and NP-Complete in light of Reducibility: A Language L {0,1}* . 1. L' p L for every L ' NP 2. L NP Property 1 is satisfied : L is NP-Hard Both Property 1 and 2 are satisfied: L is NP-Complete Definition of NP-Hard and NP-Complete in light of ReducibilitySatisfiability : the motivation: By definition, to show a problem is NP complete, we use Reducibility. For that, initially at least one problem is to proved NP complete. This initial problem can be reduced in polynomial time to prove that other problems can be NP complete (and NP hard). Satisfiability : the motivationCircuit Satisfiability Problem: Problem statement: Given a Boolean Combinational Circuit composed of AND , OR and NOT gates, is it satisfiable? CIRCUIT-SAT={< C > : C is a satisfiable boolean combinational circuit} For a Boolean Combinational Circuit C, we say C has satisfying assignment when the truth assignments of the input variables finally makes the output evaluated as 1. Circuit Satisfiability ProblemCIRCUIT-SAT is NP: verification: Providing a 2-input polynomial-time algorithm A which can verify CIRCUIT-SAT is possible. A checks that for each logic gate in the circuit, the values provided by the truth assignment computes the correct value of the final output. Whenever a satisfiable circuit C is input to A , there exists a satisfying assignment that causes the output of A to be 1. For unsatisfiable circuit C as input, output is 0. As algorithm A itself is polynomial, CIRCUIT-SAT is verified in polynomial time. CIRCUIT-SAT is NP: verificationFormula satisfiability Problem : 1 st ever problem to be proved as NP-complete. Problem statement: Given a boolean formula (consisting of variables, connectives and parentheses), is it satisfiable? The formal language form: SAT={< ɸ > : ɸ is a satisfiable boolean formula } Formula satisfiability ProblemSAT (contd.): Example: ɸ = (x1→x2) ⋁ ˥ ((˥x1↔x3) ⋁x4)) ⋀˥x2 This has the satisfying assignment: x1=0, x2=0, x3=1, x4=1. Cook-Levin's Theorem : SAT is NP-Complete Verification: T he Boolean formula ɸ or any arbitrary satisfiable Boolean formula does not run in polynomial time. SAT (contd.)SAT is NP : verification: A formula with m variables has 2 m possible assignments. If the length of ɸ is polynomial, then checking every assignment would take ( 2 m ) time. It is superpolynomial. Hence it is verifiable with the help of certificate assignments. SAT is NP : verificationNP Completeness: examples: Some NP-Complete Problems: PARTITION SUBSET-SUM CLIQUE HAMILTONIAN PATH (TSP) GRAPH COLORING NP Completeness: examplesClique: Clique Clique is a subset of vertices in an undirected graph such that each vertex in the subset is adjacent to all the other vertices in the subset. The clique decision problem is to determine for a graph and a positive integer 'k' whether the graph has a clique containing at least k vertices.An example of clique: An example of cliqueTo prove clique to be in NP-complete: Prove the clique to be in NP. Prove that some NP Complete problem B reduces to a clique. NP: A problem is said to be NP if its solution comes from a finite set of possibilities, and it takes polynomial time to verify the correctness of a candidate solution . To prove clique to be in NP-completeNP Algorithm for clique: An NP algorithm is an algorithm that has 2 stages: The first stage is a guessing stage that uses choose() to find a solution to the problem. The second stage is verification, which checks the correctness of the solution produced by the first stage. The time of this stage is polynomial in the input size n. NP Algorithm for cliqueBehavior of Choose(): Behavior of "choose()": if a problem has a solution of N components, choose(i) magically returns the i-th component of the CORRECT solution in constant time if a problem has no solution, choose(i) returns mere "garbage", that is, it returns an uncertain value. Behavior of Choose()The algorithm: begin /* The following for-loop is the guessing stage*/ for i =1 to k do X[ i ] := choose( i ); endfor /* Next is the verification stage */ for i =1 to k do for j=i+1 to k do if (X[ i ] = X[j] or (X[ i ],X[j]) is not an edge) then return(no); endif endfor endfor return(yes); end The algorithmComplexity: The solution size of the k-clique is O(k)=O(n), and the time of the verification stage is O(n 2 ). Therefore, the k-clique problem is NP. ComplexityNP-Completeness of the K-Clique Problem: The k-clique problem was already shown to be NP. It remain to prove that an NP-complete problem reduces to k-clique . NP-Completeness of the K-Clique Problem3SAT: 3SAT is NP Complete problem. 3SAT reduces to the k-clique problem. B is a logical expressionin CNF (Conjunctive Normal Form). B= C₁ ^ C₂ ^ C₃ ^ C₄ ^ …………… ^Cĸ Here C₁= Clause of B x₁……..xn= Variables in B. 3SATPowerPoint Presentation: Transform B to graph G(V,E) V={( y,i ) such that y is a literal in clause C і } E={(( y,i )( z,j )) such that i != j and z̄!= y} B= (x₁ v x₂ v x̄₃) Λ (x₁ v x̄₂ v x₃)3SAT Continued..: 3SAT is satisfiable, if one variable from each clause should be true. (x₁ v x̄₂ v x̄₃) Λ ( x̄₁ v x₂ v x₃) Λ (x₁ v x₂ v x₃ ) To prove 3SAT is reducible to Clique we need to show that B is CNF-satisfiable if and only if G has a clique of at least k. 3SAT Continued..Proof of NP Completeness for clique: 1. Necessary Condition : Given- B is CNF satisfiable To prove-G has a clique of size atleast k. If B is CNF satisfiable ,there are truth assignments for x₁…….. xĸ such that each clause is true with these assignments. This means that there is atleast one literal in each C і that is true. V'={( y,i ) such that y is the true literal picked from Ci } Therefore V' forms a clique in G of size k. Proof of NP Completeness for cliqueContd..: 2.Sufficient Condition: Given- G has a Clique of size at least k To prove- B is CNF satisfiable. Contd..Contd..: So if G has a clique (V',E') of size at least k the no. of vertices in V' must be exactly k. - Therefore if we set S={ y such that (y,i) є V' } S contains k literals. S contains a literal from each of the k clauses because there is no edge connecting (y,i) and (z,i) for any literals y and z and index i. Contd..Contd..: Finally S cannot contain both a literal y and its complement ȳ because there is no edge connecting (y, i) and (ȳ ,j) for any i and j. therefore if we set xi= true if xi є S = false if x̄i є S And assign arbitrary values to variables not in S,all clauses in B are true. Therefore B is CNF satisfiable. Contd.. You do not have the permission to view this presentation. In order to view it, please contact the author of the presentation.

It's 6 a.m., and Tampa police Chief Steve Hogue is jogging through the damp breeze along Bayshore Boulevard.
His T-shirt and shorts are the uniform of a half-dozen others on Bayshore, fellow fitness buffs who don't realize they've just trotted past Tampa's top cop.
For the half hour it takes him to run 3.6 miles, Hogue enjoys this rare pleasure: anonymity.
Ninety minutes later, he's sitting at his meticulously organized desk on the 10th floor of downtown police headquarters. His black police uniform fits perfectly over his tall, lean frame, his shirt tucked in with military precision, buttonholes marching a straight line to his belt buckle.
In the year since Hogue was sworn in, he has become known as a visible, accessible police chief who'd rather attend roll calls and ride out on midnight patrol than work at his desk. He considers himself a cop who just happens to be chief. A very busy cop.
Over the past 365 days, Hogue has introduced a major shift in police philosophy and reorganized the 1,350-employee department to create a third district to patrol the high-crime East Tampa area. He successfully negotiated a new contract with the police union and, with the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office, instituted better training for officers to deal with the mentally ill.
As soon as he became chief, Hogue announced that all officers _ chief included _ would have to pass a physical agility test. More recently, he was the first in the department to get zapped when training began for officers armed with Tasers _ gun lookalikes that shoot jolts of electricity.
"When I hired him I thought, "Here's someone who's straightforward, no nonsense, who's going to get the job done,' " Mayor Pam Iorio said recently. "How I sized him up is really how he turned out to be."
Back when the mayor chose Hogue to replace retiring Chief Bennie Holder, she made clear her priorities.
Iorio and Hogue agreed Tampa's crime rate in 2003 _ No. 1 in property crimes and No. 2 in violent crimes among U.S. cities similar in size _ was too high. Iorio told Hogue she was sick of open-air drug sales and related crimes in East Tampa and in the city's public housing complexes.
"She said, "I know you can't get rid of all the drugs, but I want something done about these drug holes,' " Hogue recalled.
So he obliged. Quickly.
By his fourth month on the job, Hogue had created a third district to police east and central Tampa and had announced that officers would now adhere to the philosophy of community policing, a tactic he employed as police chief in Fort Walton Beach.
Officers couldn't just react to reports of crimes anymore; they had to become entrenched in their patrol areas. No issue would be too small. Trees blocking signs, drug dealers threatening neighbors _ officers had to deal with it head-on.
Getting officers to adopt that approach has been his biggest challenge, Hogue said, but he expected that. But he points to the numbers to show there has been change.
Between January and August, officers embarked on 186,709 self-initiated investigations _ 62,258 more than in the same period last year, according to department statistics. They made 35,352 arrests, a 21 percent increase from 2003, and issued 79,153 citations, 61 percent more than in the first eight months of 2003. Crimes including rape, murder, car theft, robbery and larceny are down 16 percent this year compared with the same eight-month period last year.
Hogue gave each district its own specialty squads to deal with drug sales and street-level crimes such as car thefts.
Since January, officers have made about 4,500 drug arrests _ 46 percent more than during the same period last year.
One of the biggest busts came in August, when dozens of uniformed and undercover officers worked with state and federal agents to arrest more than 50 people accused of being part of an international drug ring that reaches from Honduras to the Central Park public housing complex near downtown.
Capt. Marion Lewis, who oversaw the August drug bust, says he's very happy with the chief's concentration on drug sales, but worries Hogue puts too much store in numbers.
"When you put as much emphasis on statistics as he does, there's a tendency to create bad stats," said Lewis, head of the department's narcotics unit. "Someone you probably wouldn't have ticketed, you ticket. Somebody you wouldn't normally arrest, you might put in jail."
In fact, the latest crime statistics are in Hogue's e-mail basket when he gets to work every day. He calls them the department's report card.
"I look at a 16 percent crime reduction, and I know that we had 3,000 to 4,000 less victims in Tampa," Hogue said. "All of these numbers relate to less human misery."
+ + +
Hogue's office is filled with pictures of his wife, Charlotte, and two grown children, as well as snapshots of his days as an up-and-comer in the department. But you won't find him there too often.
He likes to go to roll calls, where officers talk about what's happening in their patrol areas and what to look out for in the upcoming shift. And he regularly hits the streets with officers working the midnight shift. If he has a free hour, he drives around in his department-issued beige 1999 Ford Crown Victoria, checking out neighborhoods where he knows there is work to be done.
Once or twice a week, he attends neighborhood meetings, where residents tell him of concerns big and small. Many Saturdays, he goes to community picnics, marches and charity events.
"Maybe this sounds simplistic, but I really am just a police officer," said Hogue, 56, who first joined the Tampa Police Department 31 years ago.
"I just happen to have gotten lucky, or had good timing, and moved up to police chief. But I still love going out on patrol."
Officers and residents have noticed.
"He's more visible and outgoing than Chief Holder," said Lewis, president of the Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers. "He has a hands-on approach, but he believes in pushing the power to the bottom, to the workers."
+ + +
One of three sons of an Air Force colonel, Hogue graduated from Plant High, joined the Air Force for four years and came home to get his degree at the University of South Florida.
He spent 23 years with the Tampa Police Department, moving up the ranks to major, and then took a job as Fort Walton Beach's police chief. He stayed seven years before returning to Tampa last year.
Hogue remains, in many ways, a military man who runs a tight ship.
He gets to work about 7 a.m. and typically doesn't see home until after 7 p.m., with every hour in between tightly scheduled.
His office is immaculate, papers stacked neatly, pictures hung just right, phone messages held secure with a paper clip. The only sign of clutter is his desk calendar _ a collage of scribbled phone numbers, penciled-in reminders and random doodles.
His police car is pristine. No coffee cups, no leftover food wrappers.
"When you're in basic training," Hogue said, "you learn there's a place for everything."
In dealing with the hundreds of men and women who work under him, he is friendly, his humor quick, his manner easygoing. But after the pleasantries, he wants to know what they're doing. What's going well? What's not working?
At a recent meeting with leaders of the third police district, Hogue listened as Maj. George McNamara talked about a "hot area" for auto thefts. Then Hogue asked about a spike in burglaries in a couple of neighborhoods and wanted to know what the drug trade has been like in Central Park since the big bust.
Then Hogue talked about a West Tampa resident he met at a neighborhood watch meeting the night before. The man told Hogue that officers never dusted his car for fingerprints after it was stolen and then recovered.
"If I had one thing I hear where we could make a little improvement, it's that you have to get your officers to dust for fingerprints in auto burglaries and thefts," Hogue told the police gathered there. "That's valuable evidence. One fingerprint puts a guy in the car."
Then it was time to leave for another meeting.
+ + +
Hogue's tenure so far has been free of major controversy or high-profile crimes. Yes, there have been headlines he'd rather not have seen and TV news segments that made the department look less than stellar.
But when conflicts have threatened to bubble over, Hogue acted quickly to turn down the heat.
When Ybor City businesses and patrons started complaining about rowdy teens a few months ago, Hogue doubled the officers patrolling the entertainment district on busy nights. On the first night of stepped-up enforcement, officers made 46 arrests. Hogue drives through the area on weekend nights to see how things are going.
He recently began outfitting patrol officers with Tasers, a popular law enforcement weapon that is the subject of national debate. Knowing the questions surrounding Tasers' safety on humans, Hogue volunteered to get zapped first. Then he invited the media to watch as dozens of other officers got hit with the Taser as part of their training.
Hogue said he's grateful his first year has been relatively calm, but he knows the honeymoon can't last forever.
"I'm sure there's a controversy out there waiting for me," he said. "This is the police business."

Gun Rights Activists Say Gun Control Is Unconstitutional. Antonin Scalia Disagrees.
The Second Amendment is "... not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."
When the US Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal by gun owners of an Illinois ban on semi-automatic "assault" rifles and high-capacity ammunition magazines, Justice Antonin Scalia dissented, lamenting that lower courts that uphold limitations on gun ownership have been ignoring Supreme Court precedent on the Second Amendment. That is curious since, in his ruling enshrining the individual right to own guns, Scalia himself all but invited such bans. The Illinois ban seems consistent with Scalia's own precedent-setting language.
In District of Columbia v. Heller, Scalia himself explicitly allowed for and even seemed to invite reasonable gun control, writing:
"Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited…" It is "… not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."
"Nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms."
"We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. Miller (an earlier case) said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those "in common use at the time." We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of 'dangerous and unusual weapons.'"
The court even recognizes a long-standing judicial precedent "... to consider ... prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons."
Let's consider that Supreme Court precedent-setting language in light of current gun control proposals, all of which are blindly opposed by the paranoid libertarian fringe of the gun rights movement that calls any effort to limit gun control unconstitutional. The following ideas for reasonable gun control currently being proposed are explicitly sanctioned by the Supreme Court as constitutional:
"… longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill,"
"… laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings,"
"… laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms."
(Like background checks, waiting periods, and closing the loophole that requires background checks on gun buyers in stores, but not on those who buy guns at gun shows (at which many stores set up and sell guns.))
Scalia also writes that the Supreme Court considers it constitutional for governments "... to consider ... prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons."
And specifically as to the Illinois ban on military-style "assault" rifles and high-capacity magazines, Scalia seemed to allow for that too:
"… the sorts of weapons protected (by the Second Amendment) were those "in common use at the time". We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of 'dangerous and unusual weapons.'"
This seems to almost explicitly state that semi-automatic weapons with high capacity magazines are not constitutionally protected. Yet curiously Scalia now seems to infer that the Illinois ban on 'dangerous and unusual weapons' ignores the precedent of his own language in District of Columbia v. Heller.
Gun rights advocates protest that any of these limitations would be unconstitutional. They are simply wrong. The ruling that gives them the right to own guns is expressly "... not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."
In the 1970s a handful of fanatical libertarians took control of the NRA in a coup and turned guns into a symbol of their absolutist demand for individual liberties. That symbol has been adopted by anybody upset that the government has too much control over their lives, which includes a lot of people with a more conservative political philosophy.
Yet the majority of Americans, including the majority of NRA members, support the idea of reasonable gun control, like the controls specifically sanctioned as constitutional by the Supreme Court. So why do the gun rights absolutists win? They care more. They are deeply upset that society that is changing on many values questions in ways they don't like. They see these changes as signs that they don't have control over their society and their lives and their futures. Powerlessness is scary. We all need a sense of control; we all need it to help us feel safe. The deep fear of gun rights extremists exceeds the general public's fear of guns, either the personal fear of being shot or the general moral fear that innocent people will be shot. There is a passion gap, which is why the NRA is winning the political battle over gun control.
To counter that imbalance, the majority that wants gun control should start using Justice Scalia's own ruling to demonstrate that being conservative does not mean rejecting any and all gun control. The concern that government has too much control over our lives does not mean, even to arch conservative activist Justice of the Supreme Court Antonin Scalia, that government can't have any. And it is the very ruling on the Second Amendment establishing the individual's right to own guns that says so.

3 "symptoms" of atheism, as described by a Christian minister
Do you get worried or angry? Ever forget to tithe? One minister has bad news for you.
- A recently published article claims to identify the symptoms of "low-level atheism."
- Among these symptoms are worrying, cursing, and not tithing.
- There is a solution to all of this though, not being an atheist. Sending in money is also involved.
Are you worried about literally anything? You're an atheist now!
The essay begins by focusing on worrying, an all too common problem and gateway emotion to atheism:

"Every time we take a thought break and begin to wonder about how we will pay the stove oil bill, or the light bill, or what we are going to do if we get laid off from work in six months, we are worrying. We are actually telling the Lord, 'Jesus, you know all that stuff you said in Matthew chapter six about how you will take care of us? I don't believe it. I don't believe that you can do what you promised, so I am taking matters into my own hands; I'm going to worry about it until the situation is taken care of.'"

As it turns out, God plans his days around your dilemmas and will get to them in due course. So, if you are bothered about not being sure where your rent is coming form this month, you're doubting the Lord. Concerned about things like climate change? You're practically an iconoclast. Anxious at the thought that you aren't a good enough Christian? According to this, that exact worry is a sign that you aren't!

Are you feeling even more worried now? Oh, that isn't a good sign at all. You ought to be worried about that.

Swearing and occasionally being angry, now signs of metaphysical distress!
According to Lindley:

"I have only sworn two times since receiving the Holy Ghost. The Lord has the power to change our attitudes and habits. I wish I could say that I never get angry anymore either, but that is not the case. Just like you, I struggle with atheistic tendencies.

"Every time something doesn't go the way we want it to and we get angry, we are telling the world, 'I am losing my temper, because this problem is so messed up that not even God can sort it out.' When we slam doors, swear, yell, break dishes, speed, or shake our fist at somebody we are in the grip of an atheism attack.

"You see the Bible very clearly states that there is nothing too hard for God to fix. 'And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.' (Romans 8:28 NKJV) This is why a person who has been born again can hit their thumb with a hammer and not swear. This is why the sincere Christian can look at a flat tire and say, 'I guess God needs to slow me down, because he has someone he needs me to cross paths with today.' Swearing and getting angry only says, 'There is absolutely no way that God can turn this flat tire into a blessing!'"

Well, shit. It seems that being angry with things, including things that might seem to be perfectly reasonable things to be mad at, is admitting that you think God is useless.

How exactly this reconciles with Jesus getting pissed off at the moneylenders in the temple and healers that refused to save lives on Sunday is unclear. Neither of these incidents seem to be the things that happen to somebody without bursts of anger, though I do suppose it is possible Christ had fits of atheism multiple times in his life.

Sometimes I don't believe in myself either.

Stinginess, now coming to a den of heathens near you!
Lindley points out the final, most advanced symptom of atheism last: Not sending God money. He writes:

"Some people are so greedy that they actually rob God. '…In what way have we robbed God? In tithes and offerings.' (Malachi 3:8 NKJV)) To those who would hold back the tithe the Lord has a challenge: 'Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this' says the Lord of hosts, 'If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.' (3:10 NKJV)"

While the God of Abraham is well known not to need money on account of his transcendental nature, it seems that he is still owed ten percent of everybody's earnings. This is not paid to him, of course, but to his helpers. In exchange for this, God will make good things happen. If you don't send money in addition to swearing or occasionally being grouchy, the minister assures us that "you are at extreme risk for very serious complications from your atheism."

While this may look remarkably similar to a concept used by the mafia, the protection racket, it is an utterly different operation. In the case of the mob, the threat of punishment is used as a way to force people into paying part of their earnings to a larger organization. In return, they are promised the protection of that organization from vague threats, often including that organization.

 In this holy case, vague are threats used to show people the wisdom of paying part of their earnings to the church. In exchange for their payments, they are offered kickbacks from God and protection from vague threats made by the people telling them they need to send in money.

Luckily, Lindley suggests a solution for all three problems, especially the last one: Don't be an atheist! In particular, start praying and sending God money. This will resolve the third symptom automatically and the first two eventually.

It's an offer you can't refuse.

And now, the serious part.

While it is fun to mock the often-ludicrous positions of those who misunderstand atheism, that very misunderstanding is an all too common and all too real issue for the millions of Americans who are not religious. Atheists in the United States face discrimination, are not trusted, and are barred from running for office in several states.

 In my experience, many of these tend to come from a fundamental misunderstanding of what atheism is. I, at various times, have been accused of being a Satanist, a pagan, or an amoralist, among other things. It is little wonder why a person who doesn't understand what atheism is would find a variety of issues arising from it.

The minister in this case makes a similar mistake: He begins by thinking that atheism is something other than the proposition that there are no gods and then works forward. In this case, he seems to presume it is some kind of psychological condition which manifests as a hybrid of anxiety, Tourette's syndrome, and kleptomania. His use of the word "symptoms" is revealing.

While it is true that atheism can be anxiety-inducing, this falls more under the category of "existential dread" than psychosis. John-Paul Sartre, the atheistic philosopher who made Existentialism popular, wrote on this extensively. In his essay "Existentialism is a Humanism," he explains:

"What do we mean by saying that existence precedes essence? We mean that man first of all exists, encounters himself, surges up in the world—and defines himself afterwards. If man as the existentialist see him is not definable, it is because to begin with he is nothing. He will not be anything until later, and then he will be what he makes of himself. Thus, there is no human nature, because there is no God to have a conception of himself … what do we mean by anguish? The existentialist frankly states that man is in anguish. His meaning is as follows: When a man commits himself to anything, fully realizing that he is not only choosing what he will be, but is thereby at the same time a legislator deciding for the whole of mankind—in such a moment a man cannot escape from the sense of complete and profound responsibility."

If choosing what you are and what meaning your life will have doesn't give you anxiety, Sartre would suggest you're doing something wrong.

However, this anxiety isn't necessarily cured by belief. Soren Kierkegaard, the founder of Existentialism, wrote extensively on the topics of angst, dread, anxiety, and regretting all of your life choices while being a thoroughly devoted Christian. While he argues that the leap of faith can help, he also argues that we are still fundamentally alone and responsible for our choices when it comes to making that anxiety-inducing leap.

The minister's point about swearing as a result of lacking faith is bizarre enough to be left alone. Ten minutes in any bar in the middle section of the country on a Friday night should be enough to convince anybody that any sincere believer can swear while remaining a believer.

Furthermore, the minister presumes that a believer is going to be of the kind that thinks God is very engaged in human life. While he may suppose God was involved in his tire going flat, many other approaches to the divine reject that idea. Deists, who tend to think that there is a God who created the cosmos but leaves it alone, would be an example.

All in all, the essay described above is an unintentionally hilarious look at what some people think being an atheist is like. It is hardly the first, and it won't be the last. Anxiety about atheism has a history going back to ancient Greece—studies demonstrate the continued existence of Christian anxiety about atheists—and this essay is another example of people being unduly concerned about it.

I'd accuse the minister of worrying too much about atheism, but then he'd be one of us.

Why is everyone so selfish? Science explains
The coronavirus pandemic has brought out the perception of selfishness among many.
- Selfish behavior has been analyzed by philosophers and psychologists for centuries.
- New research shows people may be wired for altruistic behavior and get more benefits from it.
- Crisis times tend to increase self-centered acts.

To see more features proving that Black Lives Matter, you can go to CriterionChannel.com.
However, I've noticed that African American film critics or historians are tapped mostly to do commentaries for films by Black filmmakers or address Black images. When it comes to classics by directors such as Ernest Lubitsch, William Wyler, Howard Hawks, George Cukor, Billy Wilder, Vincente Minnelli, Hitchcock, Truffaut and Fellini, commentaries are done mostly by white critics. We are not blended into the overall film discussion. Did Mia Mask, an African American professor of film studies at Vassar, get to talk about all of George Stevens' wonderful Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musical, SWING TIME? No. She talks only about the "Bojangles of Harlem" number. If Criterion invited me to do commentary for Vincente Minnelli work, could I talk about MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS and THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL? Or would I be limited to just CABIN IN THE SKY because I'm Black and that musical had an all-Black cast?
Racism, systemic racism, is not solely white cops beating and killing unarmed Black people. It's exclusion in housing and the workplace. It's not having equal opportunities and being treated like a second class citizen. It's your accomplishments not given the same regard as a white person's accomplishments. And then there's the frustration that comes when a few of your white friends, who consider themselves to be socially aware liberals, think that the playing field is level because they know you and you always seems to be employed.
I had an encounter with white Seattle cops during which my contained anger eclipsed my initial fear. I was on vacation. I had just come out of a coffee shop where I'd been reading a newspaper, eating a bagel and having coffee -- AND I'd chatted with the clerk behind the counter. I got an itemized receipt. I was walking back to the Four Seasons Hotel where I'd been staying for the weekend while I visited my dad. On me and in my shoulder bag, I had my employee photo ID from Fox5 TV in New York City. I also had my passport, my plane ticket and my hotel room key. All of that was not enough. Three cop cars pulled up alongside me. Two cops questioned me, even after I produced photo ID, because "a Black man with a newspaper" had robbed a bank 10 minutes earlier. Two other cops came up to my hotel room later.
I've had an "Amy Cooper"-ish experience. A young blonde production assistant had two refrigerator-sized bodyguards escort me off the GOOD MORNING AMERICA set during a commercial break, claiming that I had "sandbagged" my way on-camera. I was on-camera because she asked me to be, as a few audience members witnessed. When I spoke up for myself to the bodyguards and when a few of the tourists in the audience verbally came to my defense, the bodyguards weren't listening. It was a white woman's word against mine. I was ordered and escorted out of the building. The irony is -- I worked for ABC News at the time. On a different show. I got an apology six months later.
Katie Couric loves Broadway musicals. She saw the 2008 revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC. In her book, THE BEST ADVICE I EVER GOT, she wrote about seeing it and the impact of the song "Carefully Taught." She'd never really paid attention to it before and described it as "prescient." Here's the song as performed in the 1958 film adaptation.
When I was a middle school kid in South Central Los Angeles, we kids knew what that song was saying. We were children of the Civil Rights era. The SOUTH PACIFIC soundtrack was in our classroom and it was played sometimes on Fridays during music period. On my block in neighbors' homes, you could find a Rodgers & Hammerstein soundtrack mixed in with a family's Motown records. Why? Because we all knew that Rodgers & Hammerstein's best work musically shouted down bigotry and intolerance. And the music was great.
The TODAY Show had a special edition for its 50th anniversary in 2002. Katie was on it. Talents who worked on other networks but had once worked on TODAY made guest appearances for that special show. People like Barbara Walters and actress Florence Henderson. Henderson had been a contributor in TODAY's early years. One visual that jumped out at me during the anniversary show's "group photos" was that Bryant Gumble and Al Roker were the only two Black people who'd worked on the show. In half a century. I can tell you they were not the only ones who wanted to work on TODAY. I tried unsuccessfully to land a gig as a TODAY Show entertainment contributor.
Did Katie Couric noticed the minimal amount of Black talent on TODAY? Did she say anything about it? Did she think Gumble and Roker were the only two Black people in the country who wanted to work on the show?
Full disclosure. Katie was nice to me when I worked in 30 Rock for a then new show called WEEKEND TODAY IN NEW YORK. It was a live, local weekend edition of TODAY. It premiered in September 1992 and I was approached to be a member of the show's original trio. For me, it was a part time job and I was paid as such. In the second month of the show, I managed to get some soundbites from Madonna at a downtown press event. Katie called me from her office to congratulate me because the TODAY contributor covering the event didn't have the same luck. Katie claimed to have been a fan of my 1988-89 prime time celebrity talk show on VH1.
Katie would see me occasionally in the building and say she thought I was as funny and talented wondered why my career wasn't bigger than it was. I would just smile. Those exchanges taught me that there's a big difference between "Why isn't your career bigger than it is? and "Why isn't your career bigger than it is? What can I do to help?"
Now we can rent the 2014 film for free because another unarmed Black man was suffocated by a cop and his last words were also "I can't breathe." I wonder how those studio execs and Academy members feel now.

I guess this is a question for Ralph, are there any plans for 2 Degrees to offer a local only calling phone service without the free national and Aus minutes?
I would suspect the cost (to 2D) for the free calls to AU and NZ are so negligible that the offering is purely a "bonus" from a marketing standpoint (ie point of differentiation from the others etc), so wouldn't expect an offering to not include that as you might find the price point to be pretty much the same.
Just my thoughts though - 2D might say something else :)
No plans atm but stay tuned!
Just a reminder our Home Phone plan comes with free calls to all NZ landlines plus calls to Aussie ones too, all for $15 per month.
