This module allows the Urban Airship Android library to be used inside of Titanium. Push Notifications are supported.
View the Using Titanium Modules document for instructions on getting started with using this module in your application.
Note that there may be two versions of this module available to you, one for use with pre-<IP_ADDRESS> SDKs and one for use with <IP_ADDRESS> or newer. In your tiapp.xml file, make sure that you specify the version of the module that corresponds to the version of Titanium Mobile SDK that you are targeting. For Appcelerator modules, specify the 1.X version of the module if building for versions of Titanium Mobile SDK prior to <IP_ADDRESS> and specify the 2.X version of the module if building for versions of Titanium Mobile SDK <IP_ADDRESS> or newer.
Additional steps may be required to use the 1.X version of the Urban Airship module. Please read the documentation included with the 1.X version of the module for additional instructions.
To access this module from JavaScript, you would do the following:
var urbanairship = require("ti.urbanairship");
The urbanairship variable is a reference to the Module object.
Follow these steps to properly setup your Titanium Android application to use Urban Airship push notifications.
Urban Airship is initialized automatically when your Titanium application starts. However you still need to specify your app's credentials before it can interact with an application you've created on the Urban Airship dashboard (https://go.urbanairship.com). Urban Airship looks for these in a file called airshipconfig.properties, in the assets folder of your Android project directory.
Enabling or disabling push notifications is a preference often best left up to the user, so by default, push is disabled in the module.
Several additional options can be controlled in your application code.
Events are generated when application registration is complete and when a new message is received or clicked in the notification window.
Please read the Getting Started with C2DM documentation for additional information regarding using the C2DM transport.
Note: Versions of this module prior to 1.3 provided an 'options' property and a 'takeOff' function for specifying the options and initializing the push library. These have been deprecated in order to more closely match the functionality of the Urban Airship Android Push Library. Please see the 'Setup' section above for further details on initializing your application for push notifications.
Called upon successful registration with Urban Airship.
Called upon failure to register with Urban Airship.
Called when a new push is received OR the user clicks the Android notification
Note:If you press the 'Back' hardware button or perform any other operation that causes the activity in which the module is loaded to be destroyed, your event listener will not be called if new notification messages are received. However, if you have set the urbanairship.showAppOnClick property to 'true' then the main activity will be re-launched when the user clicks on the Android notification. A notification for the message that was clicked will be processed when the activity registers for the urbanairship.EVENT_URBAN_AIRSHIP_CALLBACK event notification.
Enables/disables push notifications. NOTE: When push notifications are enabled there may be a delay before the urbanairship.EVENT_URBAN_AIRSHIP_SUCCESS event is raised due to the latency in communicating with the server.
Enables/disables sound
Enables/disables vibration
Tests if Urban Airship has been initialized and is ready for use
Indicates if your application should come forward when a user clicks (taps) an Urban Airship notification. (Default is 'false' if you don't set this property).
Tags can be used to categorize devices, and you can push notifications to devices with particular tags. WARNING: only call this after the module isFlying, or the call won't do anything.
Aliases are associated with device tokens, providing an alternate name. WARNING: only call this after the module isFlying, or the call won't do anything.

This example compares a time transient and a quasi static model of a synchronous reluctance machine. The machines are fed by a current source. The current components are oriented at the magnetic field orientation and transformed to the stator fixed reference frame. This way the machines are operated at constant torque. The machines start to accelerate from standstill.

Every time I make this, I am asked for the recipe. I therefore deem it worthy of posting here. Inspiration for this recipe came from the recipe book called RAWvolution, written by Matt Amsden. I didn't have all the ingredients called for, so in my tradition, altered the recipe to the ingredients I did have.
A word of warning - it is very hard to stop at one piece!
For pie crust-
2 cups raw almonds
1/3-1/2 cup maple syrup
For pie filling -
1/2 cup saltanas or 1/2 cup pitted prunes
1/3 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup pecan nuts
1/3-1/2 cup water
Method -
Process almonds and maple syrup on food processor until they resemble bread crumbs. Press into shallow dish (approximately 20cm). Place ingredients for filling into food processor and mix until well combined. Adjust water quantity if need be. Spread over base. Refrigerate until serving.

In the year 1863, Ahmet Şefik Mithat Paşa established the first Memleket Sandığı (Homeland Fund) in the town of Pirot in Serbia, drawing inspiration from the deep-rooted Turkish tradition of imece, or solidarity.
That initial fund has paved the way for a century and a half track record of success, and a bright future. Even in the most challenging days, the fund engendered assistance, hope and motivation for Turkey. This fund laid the foundation of Ziraat Bank and changed the country's future. By always seeking to create enduring value, Ziraat Bank has always been much more than a just a bank for Turkey.
Responsible for numerous milestones in Turkish banking history during its track record of success, Ziraat Bank creates robust synergy between its deep-rooted corporate know-how and ever-expanding expertise to deliver sustainable success.
Ziraat Bank has set its sustainability priorities well aware of the responsibilities it bears with being "More Than a Bank." As part of its transformation process, the Bank continued to bolster its business process efficiency via a customer- and market-oriented approach in 2015.
The roots of our Bank depends on creating value for farmers and the country's land. The seeds sown over one century and a half ago have grown and grown over the years to bear significant fruit today. Soil met with water, labor met with productivity. Turkey's farmers saw Ziraat Bank on their side whenever they needed support.
From the distant past to the future, from dreams to reality... From a small fund originally stored in a savings chest to the largest bank in the industry in terms of cash, non-cash and total loans. As one of the driving engines of the Turkish economy, Ziraat Bank is there where objectives, ambition and needs all come together. With all our strength and might, we stand by everyone who produces, and creates value.
We are the bank of a nation that confidently moves forward towards ambitious goals. Our responsibility is immense: we play the leading role in Turkey's largest infrastructure projects. The projects you witness today and will witness in the future are powered by a track record of success spanning a century and a half. Ziraat Bank's support helps to shape Turkey's future.
Although we have always been present all across Turkey with our branches, our recent digital transformation has allowed us to become even closer to our customers. We continue to make banking easier with our new-generation ATMs and mobile apps.
There is much work to do for the society and the environment. In order to leave a more livable world for future generations, we inspire hope with our projects such as "paperless banking." We place a special emphasis on children, whom we see as our future hope. We wish to contribute to their development with educational storybooks, the first of which we published this year.
Our aim is to fulfill our responsibilities for our children who are the guarantee of a beautiful future. As a Bank that cares about the concept of sustainability, we haven't forgotten our children also this year, and we have prepared an educational e-storybook for them.
Ziraat Bank is committed to sharing the progress it has made in its sustainability efforts with its stakeholders in a transparent and objective manner.

Implements a wide range of model-based dose escalation designs, ranging from classical and modern continual reassessment methods (CRMs) based on dose-limiting toxicity endpoints to dual-endpoint designs taking into account a biomarker/efficacy outcome. The focus is on Bayesian inference, making it very easy to setup a new design with its own JAGS code. However, it is also possible to implement 3+3 designs for comparison or models with non-Bayesian estimation. The whole package is written in a modular form in the S4 class system, making it very flexible for adaptation to new models, escalation or stopping rules.

New XSLT stylesheets for calendar conversion on Github
A couple of months ago a posted a short note on my XSLT stylesheets to convert the various calendars at use in the late Ottoman empire at will. Now, I have improved the functions and added the Ottoman fiscal calendar (mālī, sene-yi māliye) to the brew and uploaded everything under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license to GitHub. Feel free to fork and tinker with the code. Enjoy!
General description
The single stylesheet in this repo was conceived as a remedy for the bugs in the XPath specification that prevent the computation of Islamic (hijrī) dates. As I was, at the same time, working on the transcription of Arabic and Ottoman Turkish sources from the nineteenth century, which made use of Gregorian, hijrī, rūmī, and mālī calendars, into XML files, I also wanted to reliably compute conversions between the various calendars.
In addition to numerical dates, the stylesheet provides a function that returns the common month names.
Detailed descriptions of the functions and their parameters can be found inside the stylesheet.
Characteristics of the non-Gregorian calendars
- Hijrī reckoning relies on the observation of the lunar year. Year counts began with Muhammad’s exodus (hijrā) from Mecca to Medina. Hijrī dates cannot really be computed as observations of the new moon varied between locations. The stylesheet uses common astronomical computations of the lunar calendar.
- Rūmī reckoning is a Julian calendar that adopted 1 January as the beginning of the year. As the rules for leap years are slightly different between Julian and Gregorian calendars, the difference between these two is slowly increasing (currently 13 days).
- Mālī reckoning is a combination of the old Julian calendar beginning on 1 March and a hijrī year count, that was introduced as the fiscal calendar of the Ottoman Empire in 1676. Every 33 lunar years, the year counts between mālī and hijrī calendars are synchronised by dropping a year.
Templates
- Templates for the conversion between calendars:
- funcDateG2H
- funcDateG2J
- funcDateG2JD
- funcDateG2M
- funcDateH2G
- funcDateH2J
- funcDateH2JD

- funcDateJD2J
- funcDateM2G
- funcDateM2H
- funcDateM2J
- Templates for converting Date formats
- funcDateMonthNameNumber
- funcDateNormaliseInput
- funcDateFormatTei
Input / Output
- Input and output for all templates converting dates between the various calendars is as follows: “yyyy-mm-dd”
- The template “funcDateFormatTei” accepts the same input but produces a
<tei:date>
note with@when
or@when
,@when-custom
,@calendar
, and@datingMethod
attributes depending on the input calendar. - The template “funcDateNormaliseInput” can be used to convert variously formatted input strings to the yyyy-mm-dd required by other templates. Possible input formats are the common English formats of ‘dd(.) MNn(.) yyyy’, ‘MNn(.) dd(.), yyyy’, i.e. ‘15 Shaʿbān 1324’ or ‘Jan. 15, 2014’. The template requires an input string and a calendar-language combination as found in funcDateMonthNameNumber.

The Internet High 5 Machine Launched!
So a few days ago I put The Internet High 5 Machine! live, finally!
It’s been a few years in the making (it turns out the first commit I made was in 2015.)
It started as a fun idea I had, for a way to share successes with friends overseas. The idea would be that you both have a machine, and then you somehow control their machine to give them a High 5, physically.
I let the idea sit for a while, and picked it up again as I was near the end of my recent degree.
My approach was to build the website and necessary tools in Haskell, so that I had a concrete project with which to learn. I didn’t know Haskell very well at the time, so it seemed like a good opportunity.
I looked around at a few web frameworks, but I had previously played with Yesod to build super-reference, so I opted to go with that. I actually still quite like Yesod, even though there are some more innovative things (servant) that I think I will explore in the future.
I would say I generally quite enjoyed the Haskell/Yesod experience, but I did have to make a somewhat-inappropriate number of PRs to random projects to get it all pulled together. In any case, it at least demonstrated to me that Yesod is a stable foundation on which to build, and that the Haskell ecosystem is very friendly and quite good to work with.
One of the main ways I made progress initially was to look at other well-written Yesod projects, and for this purpose I found pi-base completely invaluable. Interestingly, their in the process of shifting to servant :)
I put together the core bit of “client-side” high5 code in Haskell as well, and that’s open source here. This serves as a reference implementation of what I’m referring to as the “High 5 Protocol”:
This is a simply a list of expected conversations that you can have over a websocket connection with the high5.cool website. If you integrate anything with this protocol, you can activate it via the High 5’ing action on the website.
One of the ideas that I can now completely check-off is that anyone can place a “High 5 Me” button on their website (as I’ve now done on mine). I made a setting in the website so that you can allow “anonymous” high 5s (those from people not yet registered with the site). In this way, anyone who appreciates anything you’ve done can give you feedback in a fun way!
There’s some badges and other such things in the “profile” section of the High 5 website.
If you have any feedback on the website, then send me an email; I’d love to hear from you! (Alternatively, just send me a High 5!)
For the time being, I’ll let the website site for a while and add a few features that are missing; and hopefully we’ll have some more things to announce in a few months!

| state_start | The name of the state variable for the kernel that the kernel acts on at time t. |
| state_end | The name of the state variable that the kernel produces at time t+1. |

All define_*
functions return a proto_ipm. make_impl_args_list
returns a list, and so must be used within a call to define_impl
or
before initiating the model creation procedure.
These are helper functions to define IPMs. They are used after defining the kernels,
but before calling make_ipm()
They are meant to be called in the
following order:
define_impl()
define_domains()
define_pop_state()
define_env_state()
The order requirement is so that information is correctly matched to each kernel. Below are specific details on the way each works.
define_impl
This has two arguments - proto_ipm
(the model object you wish to work with),
and the kernel_impl_list
. The format of the kernel_impl_list
is:
names of the list should be kernel names, and each kernel should have 3 entries:
int_rule
, state_start
, and state_end
. See examples.
define_domains
If the int_rule = "midpoint"
, the ...
entries are vectors of
length 3 where the name corresponds to the
state variable, the first entry is the lower bound of the domain, the second
is the upper bound of the domain, and the third entry is the number of
meshpoints. Other int_rule
s are not yet implemented, so for now this is the
only format they can take. See examples.
define_pop_state
This takes either calls to functions in the ...
, or a pre-generated
list of vectors in the pop_vectors
. The names used
for each entry in ...
and/or for the pop_vectors
should be
n_<state_variable>
. See examples.
define_env_state
Takes expressions that generate values for environmental covariates at each
iteration of the model in ...
. The data_list
should contain any
parameters that the function uses, as well as the function itself. The
functions should return named lists. Names in that list can be referenced in
vital rate expressions and/or kernel formulas.
discretize_pop_vec
This takes a numeric vector of a trait distribution and computes the relative
frequency of trait values. By default, it integrates the kernel density estimate
of the trait using the midpoint rule with n_mesh
mesh points.
This is helpful for creating an initial population state vector that

The SOCI Oracle backend is currently supported for use with Oracle 10 or later.
Older versions of Oracle may work as well, but they have not been tested by the SOCI team.
| Oracle version | Operating System | Compiler |
|---|---|---|
| 10.2.0 (XE) | RedHat 5 | g++ 4.3 |
The SOCI Oracle backend requires Oracle's libclntsh
client library.
Depending on the particular system, the libnnz10
library might be needed as well.
Note that the SOCI library itself depends also on libdl
, so the minimum set of libraries needed to compile a basic client program is:
-lsoci_core -lsoci_oracle -ldl -lclntsh -lnnz10
To establish a connection to an Oracle database, create a session
object
using the oracle backend factory together with a connection string:
session sql(oracle, "service=orcl user=scott password=tiger"); // or: session sql("oracle", "service=orcl user=scott password=tiger"); // or: session sql("oracle://service=orcl user=scott password=tiger");
The set of parameters used in the connection string for Oracle is:
service
user
password
mode
(optional)The first 3 of these parameters have to be provided as part of the connection string.
The mode
parameter allows to specify the connection mode and can be any of:
default
(which is assumed if omitted)sysdba
sysoper
Once you have created a session
object as shown above, you can use it to access the database, for example:
int count; sql << "select count(*) from user_tables", into(count);
(See the SOCI basics and exchanging data documentation for general information on using the session
class.)
The Oracle backend supports the use of the SOCI row
class, which facilitates retrieval of data which type is not known at compile time.
When calling row::get<T>()
, the type you should pass as T
depends upon the underlying database type.
For the Oracle backend, this type mapping is:
| Oracle Data Type | SOCI Data Type | row::get<T> specializations |
|---|---|---|
| number (where scale > 0) | dt_double |
double |
| number (where scale = 0 and precision ≤ std::numeric_limits<int>::digits10) |
dt_integer |
int |
| number | dt_long_long |
long long |
| char, varchar, varchar2 | dt_string |
std::string |
| date | dt_date |
std::tm
|
(See the dynamic resultset binding documentation for general information on using the row
class.)
In addition to binding by position, the Oracle backend supports binding by name, via an overload of the use()
function:
int id = 7; sql << "select name from person where id = :id", use(id, "id")
SOCI's use of ':' to indicate a value to be bound within a SQL string is consistant with the underlying Oracle client library syntax.
The Oracle backend has full support for SOCI's bulk operations interface.
Transactions are also fully supported by the Oracle backend, although transactions with non-default isolation levels have to be managed by explicit SQL statements.
The Oracle backend supports working with data stored in columns of type Blob, via SOCI's blob
class.
Oracle rowid's are accessible via SOCI's rowid
class.
The Oracle backend supports selecting into objects of type statement
, so that you may work with nested sql statements and PL/SQL cursors:
statement stInner(sql); statement stOuter = (sql.prepare << "select cursor(select name from person order by id)" " from person where id = 1", into(stInner)); stInner.exchange(into(name)); stOuter.execute(); stOuter.fetch(); while (stInner.fetch()) { std::cout << name << '\n'; }
Oracle stored procedures can be executed by using SOCI's procedure
class.
SOCI provides access to underlying datbabase APIs via several get_backend()
functions, as described in the Beyond SOCI documentation.
The Oracle backend provides the following concrete classes for navite API access:
| Accessor Function | Concrete Class |
|---|---|
session_backend * session::get_backend() |
oracle_session_backend |
statement_backend * statement::get_backend() |
oracle_statement_backend |
blob_backend * blob::get_backend() |
oracle_blob_backend |
rowid_backend * rowid::get_backend() |
oracle_rowid_backend |
The Oracle backend can throw instances of class oracle_soci_error
,
which is publicly derived from soci_error
and has an
additional public err_num_
member containing the Oracle error code:
int main() { try { // regular code } catch (oracle_soci_error const & e) { cerr << "Oracle error: " << e.err_num_ << " " << e.what() << endl; } catch (exception const &e) { cerr << "Some other error: " << e.what() << endl; } }

Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has been discharged from hospital in Cape Town and returned home with instructions to rest.
This is according to a statement issued by the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation on Monday.
The Archbishop spent six days in hospital undergoing treatment for a recurring infection.
News24 previously reported that his wife Leah had said in a statement five days ago that her husband was hospitalised several times in recent years for the same infection.
Tutu, who turned 88 in October, has been open about his fight against prostate cancer.
He was also passionate about supporting treatment initiatives for tuberculosis after he contracted the disease as a child, News24 previously reported.


Learning to ride the sigmoid curve
By Ian Joseph Practice Head - Charities and Not For Profit - Russam GMS
Thoughts on trusteeship and the ubiquitous ‘founder syndrome’
Charles Handy in his seminal work, The Empty Raincoat, explained the sigmoid curve and its implications for organisations. Simply put: all organisations have life cycles which are fairly predictable and which can be expressed as curves. These mathematical curves, which can be applied to many facets of life, show how organisations undergo a period of growth before inevitably reaching a peak and beginning a descent. For any organisation, there is no clear way to gauge how long it will take until the peak is reached but what is critical is to begin a second curve of organisational development at point A, before the peak, and to not wait until disaster is clear to everyone at point B!
The paradox of course is that it takes vision and courage to begin the second curve when the organisation is still in its ascendancy and most people cannot see either the peak or the looming disaster on the other side of the summit! In the context of charity trustees, this requires having progressive, forward thinking trustees who can see the ‘big picture’. Inactive or ineffective board members who are not in tune with the charity’s environment or sense of direction can be the death knell of a charity.
Too many trustee boards are made up of people who lack strategic foresight. It is one thing having the "great and the good" sit on some of our boards but altogether another when one asks "what are they really ‘good’ at’" and "can they bring to the table something that adds value to the charity’s ultimate customer – its beneficiaries"? Whilst it is not vital for all members of a board to be able to see the world the "sigmoid way", at the very least the CEO and Chair need to be adept at seeing the bigger picture and understanding its implications.
Many amazing organisations started because of the vision and passion of remarkable founders. However, founders can in some situations become obstacles to the organisation’s future growth. The chair might be enlightened and strategic, or, as is often the case, stuck in his/her ways and unable to relinquish control. We have all seen it when an ego stymies organisational change and we have unfortunately seen the consequences.
What are the lessons for charities? Well, one key is for boards to be diverse. A diverse group brings to the table varied perspectives. The young for example are often more in touch with current trends than the older generations and can see the second wave. Does it not make sense therefore to have young representation on boards and mix the wisdom of the old with the insight of the young?
Does it not make perfect sense to have past beneficiaries of a service delivery organisation on the board? Who is better placed to comment on the quality of a drug rehabilitation centre than a client who has passed through its doors?
What about an ethnic mix? – an objective perspective and a different cultural slant is priceless. While we are talking about diversity, teams benefit from being hybrids of the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
I really believe that one of the keys to seeing and catching the new wave at the right time is to value diversity at all levels but especially at board level. In terms of recruitment, when trustees are called on to steward their organisations through the recruitment process it is all too easy to be risk averse and to hire "more of the same" – both to the board and to the executive team. Perhaps though it is just that different person, the younger candidate or the one from the other side of the world, who is able to see the second curve, and who can help save the organisation as together they ride the sigmoid curve!

EasyCMake
-- A template for creatint cmake project rapidly.
Manual
- Creating a well named folder.
- Folder name will be used as project name.
- The folder name must be unique, since it will be used as library name or executable name.
Creating ${PROJECT_NAME}.lib, ${PROJECT_NAME}.so, ${PROJECT_NAME}.a, ${PROJECT_NAME}.exe, etc.
- Placing codes in the folder, header files and source files.
- The folder will be scan when doing cmake configure.
- *.c* and *.h* will be treated properly as c++ source files and header files and creating library target.
- If main/main.cpp or main/main.cxx exists, they will be treated as the main function and program
entry point. An executable target will be created as well.
- After that, the project could be configured as common cmake project.
- (Optional)Creating a cmake folder and selecting needed find cmake scripts and place them in it.
- This step is for finding external CMake packages, external libraries or other dependencies.
The CMakeLists.txt will scan the folder cmake and include them.
- Find*.cmake cmake scripts are include for finding external dependencies before creating
target process. They are include before creating the library or executable target.
They will request packages, do libraries linkage and seting include path.
e.g. If FindVTK.cmake is placed, the include header and library linkage of vtk will
be automatically figured out.
- However, the Find*.cmake script in EasyCmake cannot include all packages and libraries.
It is suggest user to write their own Find*.cmake to fulfill the dependencies.
- Target*.cmake cmake scripts are include for adding other target instead of library
and executable. They are include after library or executable targete are created.
e.g. iF TargetOtherResource.cmake is placed, the library and executable targe will
depend on it and build after the resources are copied to the right place.
- (Optional)This CMake script is also possible to build a hierarchy project.
- Placing other cmake project under this folder.
- Creating SubDirectory.cmake and place it in cmake folder.
Adding line:
add_subdirectory(SubFolderName)
in it.
Then, the subproject could be added to the current cmake project.
- This way could be applied to its subproject as well.
Following is the file structure:
_ProjectName
| |--*.c* (c, cc, cpp, cxx...)
| |--*.h* (h, hpp, hxx...)
| |--_main
| |--main.c* (c, cc, cpp, cxx...)
| |--_cmake
| |--Find*.cmake
| |--Target*.cmake
| |--SubDirectory.cmake
Models implemented
Detail please refere to cmake
Components
- LegacyV1.0
- The legacy EasyCMake
- Using many TemplateCMakeLists.txt to provide different functions to
fufill project requirements.
- While coming to the requirement that need multiple different
functions in one project, it is inevasible to change the
TemplateCMakelist.txt.
- The TemplateCMakeLists.txt is always needed to be changed a lot, need
to read CMakeLists.txt codes. Users didn't read manual and modifying
randomly.
- Modulizing the functions and lose coupling.
- CMakeLists.txt
- EasyCMake V2.0 CMakeLists.txt. The base of the EasyCmakeV2. Basically user does not nedd
to modify this file. User may focus more on cmake script in cmake folder.
- cmake
- Folder contains many cmake scripts providing different functions. User should select some of them to copy to the project's
cmake folder.
Release notes.
V2.4 09/05/2018
- TargetQtTest.cmake always find Qt5Core to make sure it is linked correctly.
V2.3 08/29/2018
- Adding FindQtConcurrent.cmake
V2.2 08/20/2018
- Moving the previous legacy EasyCMake to LegacyV1.0 folder.
- Removing CMake related install things. Install related script was extracted to cmake/TargetInstall.cmake and only export things when it is needed. User can copy it if needed.
- Removing dependency of FindQtCoreQtWidget.cmake from TargetQtTest.cmake. Now TargetQtTest.cmake can find its own QtCore instead.
- Using another syntax of target_link_librariesTarget and its Dependents.


NIH
Contracts
Resource Sharing - Data Sharing/Model Organisms
Page at a Glance:
Overview:
NIH may require a Resource Sharing Plan as part of the Research Plan of a competing proposal. For electronic submissions using Grants.gov, attach a PDF file of the plan to line 17 of the PHS 398 Research Plan form. For submission using the paper PHS 398 forms, Resource Sharing must be discussed in section K. Resource Sharing consists of two parts:
Data Sharing Plan: Investigators seeking $500,000 or more in direct costs in any year are expected to include a brief 1-paragraph description of how final research data will be shared, or explain why data-sharing is not possible. Specific funding opportunity announcements may also require that all applications include this information regardless of the dollar level.
Sharing Model Organisms: Regardless of the amount requested, all applications where the development of model organisms is anticipated are to include a description of a specific plan for sharing and distributing unique model organism research resources or state appropriate reasons why such sharing is restricted or not possible.
The Office of Contract and Grant Administration (OCGA) has developed some standard language that can be used for each of these sections. The PI may also need to add specific details relevant to his or her specific project. Please Note: Any changes or additions to the standard language require special OCGA review prior to submission, so these applications must be received by the OCGA/HSSPPO/SIO reviewing offices well in advance of the NIH deadline.
Data Sharing:
In accordance with NIH requirements, investigators submitting a research application requesting $500,000 or more in direct costs in any single year to NIH are required to include a plan for sharing of final research data for research purposes, or state why data sharing is not possible. A Data Sharing Plan may also be required by specific RFAs or PAs for proposals of any dollar amount.
The campus office responsible for final review of your proposal, OCGA, HSSPPO, or SIO will review the data sharing plan and advise as to any changes which may be necessary to comply with UCSD or NIH policies.
Sample Plan:
The following sample plan guidelines are provided to assist investigators with this requirement when data can be shared:
Plan for Intellectual Property and Sharing of Research Resources
Intellectual property and data generated under this project will be administered in accordance with both University and NIH policies, including the NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guidance of March 5, 2003.
Ownership of sole or joint inventions developed under the project will be owned by the institution(s) employing the inventor(s). Inventors shall be determined by U.S. Patent law, Title 35 SC. University and Participating investigators/institutions will disclose any inventions developed under the project and such inventions will be reported and managed as provided by NIH policies. Sole inventions will be administered by the institution employing the inventor. Joint inventions shall be administered based on mutual consultation between the parties. Similar procedures will be followed for copyrights.
Materials generated under the project will be disseminated in accordance with University/Participating institutional and NIH policies. Depending on such policies, materials may be transferred to others under the terms of a material transfer agreement.
Access to databases and associated software tools generated under the project will be available for educational, research and non-profit purposes. Such access will be provided using web-based applications, as appropriate.
Publication of data shall occur during the project, if appropriate, or at the end of the project, consistent with normal scientific practices. Research data which documents, supports and validates research findings will be made available after the main findings from the final research data set have been accepted for publication. Such research data will be redacted to prevent the disclosure of personal identifiers.
PI/Department to complete next section
Describe the following for the specific project:
1. Expected schedule for data sharing if different from above.
2. Format of the final data set
3. How will data be shared (sent electronically, etc.)
Additional Information:
Sharing Model Organisms:
In compliance with the NIH requirements, the following Sample Plan may be used for all proposals to the NIH that anticipate the generation of model organisms.
Additional Information:
- NIH Model Organism Sharing Policy
NIH Policy on Sharing of Model Organisms for Biomedical Research
NIH Policy on Sharing of Model Organisms for Biomedical Research Web Site
Sample Plan:
"As for our plan to share materials and our management of intellectual property, we will adhere to the NIH Grant Policy on Sharing of Unique Research Resources including the Principles and Guidelines for Recipients of NIH Research Grants and Contracts on Obtaining and Disseminating Biomedical Research Resources issued December 23, 1999. All 'model organisms' generated by this project will be distributed widely or deposited into a repository/stock center making them available to the broader research community, either before or immediately after publication, in accordance with University policies. If we assume responsibility for distributing the newly generated model organisms, we will fill requests in a timely fashion. In addition, we will provide relevant protocols and published genetic and phenotypic data upon request. Material transfers will be made with no more restrictive terms than in the Simple Letter Agreement (SLA) or the Uniform Biological Materials Transfer Agreement (UBMTA)and without reach through requirements. Should any intellectual property arise which requires a patent, we will ensure that the technology (materials and data) remains widely available to the research community in accordance with University policies and the NIH Principles and Guidelines document."
Optional insert, if applicable:
Our lab has demonstrated its commitment to sharing by providing ___________________ over the past _______________years. The PI needs to fill in the blanks.

This project aims to improve the reliability of subsurface reservoir models for prediction by assimilating the maximum amount of information from the 4D seismic data and accurately estimating the resulting uncertainty. The research is performed by members of the Data Assimilation and Optimization group at NORCE Research in collaboration with colleagues at the Edinburgh Time-Lapse Project (ETLP) and at the University of Bergen.
Computer models of oil and gas reservoirs are used to predict future production and to predict where pockets of remaining oil might be located. Improving the reliability of these predictions by incorporating the maximum amount of information from seismic and well production data is the focus of this project. The result will be improvements in reservoir management and field development with subsequent reduction in CO2 footprint.
One key to improving the prediction of future events is to ensure that the models can predict events that have already been observed. It is necessary to adjust parameters in the computer model so that the predicted seismic data and production data agree with the data that was actually observed. One challenge is that the amount of data that is provided by repeated seismic surveys can be exceptionally large, and calibration of a large reservoir flow model can be very difficult in that case. We will develop methods for calibrating large reservoir models to seismic and production data such that errors in forecasts are reduced and uncertainty is properly quantified. Additionally, the data are known to have errors in them and neither the reservoir flow model nor the seismic model is perfect. This, also, makes calibration difficult because overfitting noisy or biased data to an incorrect model can result in biased predictions that are too confident. We plan to develop methods for assessing the quality of calibrated reservoir models and forecasts on large problems. We will also develop methods for identifying the sources of imperfections in the reservoir model: missing parameters, missing processes, and parameters for which the prior uncertainty is too small. Finally, we will develop recommendations for a standardized work flow for 4D seismic history matching that results in reduced model error and better forecast ability.

balbuzard is a malware analysis tool to extract patterns of interest from malicious files, such as IP addresses, URLs, typical EXE strings and common file headers. It is part of the Balbuzard tools.
The idea is simple: When I need to analyse a malicious/suspicious file, the first thing I do is to open it into a hex viewer, to see which type of file it is with my own eyes. Then I quickly browse the file, looking for specific items of interest such as text, URLs, IP addresses, other embedded files, etc. This is very useful to decide how to analyse the file further, but also to extract evidence or potential indicators of compromise (IOCs).
But as soon as a file is larger than a few kilobytes, this can become very tedious, and you can overlook key details. This is why I wrote a simple script in 2007 called rescan to search for a list of regular expressions matching specific patterns, published as open-source for the SSTIC08 conference. Since then I improved the tool significantly and renamed it to Balbuzard.
Coming soon:
Balbuzard looks for a number of patterns that correspond to items of interest when analyzing a malicious file. Each pattern can be a single string such as "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" which is present in most executable files on Windows, or a list of strings. It may also be a regular expression matching IP addresses, e-mail addresses or more complex patterns.
Each found pattern is reported with its position, its length and value. With the -v option, a short hex dump can be displayed with a few bytes around the pattern.
The list of patterns to look for can be easily extended by adding a python script in the plugins directory (see below).
Usage: balbuzard.py [options] <filename> [filename2 ...]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CSV, --csv=CSV export results to a CSV file
-v verbose display, with hex view.
-r find files recursively in subdirectories.
-z ZIP_PASSWORD, --zip=ZIP_PASSWORD
if the file is a zip archive, open first file from it,
using the provided password (requires Python 2.6+)
-f ZIP_FNAME, --zipfname=ZIP_FNAME
if the file is a zip archive, file(s) to be opened
within the zip. Wildcards * and ? are supported.
(default:*)
You can specify one or several files to be analyzed:
balbuzard.py sample1.doc sample2.doc sample3.exe
Using wildcards, it is possible to scan several files in a folder:
balbuzard.py samples/*.bin
With the -r option, the search is recursive in all subfolders:
balbuzard.py malwarezoo/*.exe -r
When scanning several files at once, it is recommended to use the CSV output (see below).
As many malware samples are stored in password-protected zip files, balbuzard is able to extract such files in memory to analyze them without writing to disk. This avoids being blocked by an antivirus. Use the option -z to specify the zip password:
balbuzard.py -z infected malwarezoo/sample123.zip
By default, all files in the zip archive are extracted and analyzed. You may use the option -f to select files within the zip archive. Wildcards are supported, and the search is recursive:
balbuzard.py -z infected malwarezoo/sample123.zip -f sample1.exe
For example, if you wanted to analyze all the APT1 samples available on the Contagio website, you could run this command:
balbuzard.py -z *** APT1_MALWARE_FAMILIES_samples.zip -f *sample*
With the -c option, results can be written in a CSV file, suitable for further analysis:
balbuzard.py samples\*.bin -c results.csv
With the -v option, each matched string is displayed with a hexadecimal dump:
C:\balbuzard>balbuzard.py -v test.exe

Additional patterns can be provided by creating plugin scripts written in Python: each script needs to be named bbz*.py, and placed in the plugins folder. Each plugin script should add a list of Pattern objects to the patterns list, for example:
patterns += [
# example: a pattern with a simple case-INsensitive string
Pattern("EXE PE DOS message", "This program cannot be run in DOS mode", nocase=True),
# example: a pattern with a list of strings
Pattern("EXE: section name", [".text", ".data", ".rdata", ".rsrc"])
# example: a pattern with a regular expression, case-insensitive
Pattern_re("Executable filename", r"\w+\.(EXE|COM|VBS|JS|VBE|JSE|BAT|CMD|DLL|SCR)", nocase=True),
]
See bbz_sample_plugin.py in the plugins folder for more examples.
If yara-python is installed, you may also use Yara rules as patterns for Balbuzard. For this, simply copy Yara rules as .yara files in the plugins directory. See capabilities.yara as an example.
To disable a plugin (python or yara), you can simply rename the file with an extension such as ".disabled".
If you develop useful plugin scripts and you would like me to reference them, or if you think about additional transforms that bbcrack should include, please contact me.
TODO
Balbuzard may look similar to Yara, which is also a tool to search specific patterns into malicious files. First, Balbuzard is simpler than Yara. Balbuzard's patterns are simple strings or regular expressions, whereas Yara supports more complex rules. Balbuzard is a simple and portable pure python script, whereas Yara contains C code that needs to be compiled or installed as a library. Second, Yara's original purpose is to "identify and classify malware families" aimed at detection, whereas Balbuzard is to extract specific patterns from files that are already known as malicious. So in the end I would say that both tools are complementary.
Of course, it is possible to implement Balbuzard's set of patterns using Yara rules, and I plan to use the Yara engine as an option in the near future. It is already possible to use Yara rules to extend Balbuzard patterns.
Back in 2007-2008 when I started developing this tool as rescan, Yara was not yet published. And since then, I kept it like this because I preferred to have a lightweight pure python script to develop other tools without requiring the installation of Yara.
Besides Yara, the following tools may also be used to search specific patterns within files: signsrch, clamsrch, binwalk.


--- layout: post title: Caboose Rails Documentation Drive categories: [] author: rick published: true date: 2006-08-04 23:46:00.000000000 +01:00 ---
One of the biggest complaints with Rails is the lack of good documentation. Unfortunately, Rails is still very young, and the talented developers are either extremely busy with their jobs, or being paid to write books. The #caboose folks have started a Documentation Drive to raise $5000 to hire a professional to enhance the documentation. If you use Rails professionally, you should really consider chipping in for the benefit of all Rails developers.
Update: Thanks to some very generous contributers like FiveRuns, Fingertips, Reforge, and cdbaby, the fund is now over $13,000.

I haven’t really used delegates since I was programming with the .NET Framework 1.0. Since I have some spare time left, I decided to ‘“refresh my memory”. I have prepared a little cheat-sheet that you can use as a reminder for the delegates functionalities in the .NET Framework 3.0.
1. What is a delegate?
A delegate is a data structure that refers to one or multiples static methods and/or instance methods. You can use this when you have a dynamic list of methods to be called that you don’t know ahead of time.
2. How to create a delegate?
public class TestClass
{
private delegate void myDelegate(string name);
}
The signature of the declaration is very important! The methods that will be contained in the delegate must perfectly match the declaration. In this case, the methods that will be allowed must be void and take a single string as a parameter.
When using the delegate keyword, you are actually creating a System.MulticastDelegate.
3. How do I instantiate a delegate?
public void TestMethod()
{
ClassTest test = new ClassTest();
//Instantiating a delegate with an instance method
var del1 = new myDelegate(test.InstanceMethod);
//Instantiating a delegate with a static method
var del2 = new myDelegate(ClassTest.StaticMethod)
}
4. How do I call the method contained in the delegate?
del1.Invoke("This is a test.");
The Invoke method will actually have the same signature as your delegate signature. So you benefit of a strongly-typed way to use the delegate feature. There is also a BeginInvoke and an EndInvoke method to program asynchronously.
5. But you said that you can have more than one method in the delegate?
Actually yes. There is several ways to add more methods, but the easiest way is :
del1 += ClassTest.StaticMethod;
When calling Invoke (or BeginInvoke) each one will be executed in the order that they were added to the delegate. If an exception occurs at any point, the execution is canceled and the remaining methods will not be called. And you will get an exception of course.
5. Anything else?
Yes, a delegate is immutable. Each time you add a method entry point, a new delegate is created for you.

Giving Presentations
This section contains a collection of helpful information on how to give good presentations.
There
are also several links to pages that offer tips, as well as a downloadable presentation course.
Tips to 'Wake Up' Your Presentations
When giving a presentation, it is also important to keep your audience's attention. Here are some
tips:
'Tricks of the Trade' for Good Presentations
Refer to your audience
“As you know,”
“As many of you may have heard,”
“As you may have already
noticed,”
Refer to common experiences
“We’ve been hearing a lot about ______ on the news these days”
“Just today, I saw in the newspaper that...”
Turn questions into statements
Instead of saying, “This is important because...,”
begin by saying
“Now why is this important?”
Add a quote or a proverb
that captures a point you want to make.
Use descriptive language
that allows your audience to 'see' what you are talking about.
Cluster together words
that have the same sound (this is called “alliteration”).
Include some contrast
Compare and contrast information.
Group things into three
"X, Y, and Z"
"Past, Present, and Future"
How Can We Increase Clarity?
class
Narrow your topic
If your topic is very broad, choose one aspect of it to talk about.
people
Tell the audience why
It will be useful or interesting for them to know how the information you will give
can
help or benefit them.
speaker_notes
Give clear examples
of what you are talking about. Don't just stay on an abstract level.

Kisumu partners with Nation Media Group to support Kusi festival
by FRED OLUOCHIn Summary
- Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong’o said the partnership will help the county prepare better as it plans to host the 9th edition of the African Cities Summit in November 2021.
The Kisumu County Government has signed a partnership agreement with the Nation Media Group to support the upcoming Kusi Ideas Festival scheduled for December 8 and 9 in Kigali, Rwanda.
The festival, which is part of the Nation Media Group’s 60th anniversary celebrations, will bring together influential African leaders, scholars, entrepreneurs and innovators to discuss important issues facing the continent such as climate change, human security, free movement of goods and people in the continent, media and democracy, sports and culture.
The festival is modelled on Kusi, the southerly trade winds that blows over the Indian Ocean between April to mid-September, and which enabled trade in the early centuries up north along the east African coast and between Asia and Africa.
Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong’o said the partnership will help the county prepare better as it plans to host the 9th edition of the African Cities Summit in November 2021.
Prof Nyong’o said the festival will also provide a platform to discuss the economy of the East Africa region.
Kisumu is at the heart of ongoing plans to revive the Kisumu Port that is expected to spur economic activity in the county and also enable Kenya to play a central role in trade affairs of the East African Community, especially with the planned incorporation of the Democratic Republic of Congo in the EAC member countries.

“When a good idea that brings change comes, great minds must support it,” Prof Nyong’o said.
Keynote speakers at the Kusi festival will include among others Rwandan President Paul Kagame, Prof Nyong’o, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Secretary General Mukhisa Kituyi, Morocco’s Minister for Environment Aziz Rabaah, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa executive director Vera Songwe and AU High Representative for Infrastructure Development in Africa Raila Odinga.
Others are Tanzania’s former Minister for Environment Affairs January Makamba and former executive secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa Carlos Lopes.
The Nation Media Group (NMG) launched the Kusi Ideas Festival to begin building a pan-African Ideas transaction market to capitalise on the opportunities and innovations available to Africa to win in the 21st Century.
Beyond trade, over the centuries, Kusi and other trade winds made possible cultural, intellectual, and technological exchanges, and considerably shaped the history of the nations on the east side of Africa, its hinterland, and the wider Indian Ocean rim.
The NMG Group Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Gitagama, said the Group was excited to partner with Kisumu County during the 60th anniversary celebrations.
“We have received overwhelming interest in the Kusi Ideas Festival from all parts of the continent and interested parties should make early bookings to avoid a last minute rush,” he said.
The festival will examine the ideas and actions Africa must take to avoid a heavy cli-mate change penalty; like climate change research, the pivot to renewable energy, and a range of actions to shift to low-carbon economies in the decades ahead.
Movement towards a borderless Africa will also be on the table, to examine the possibility of unfettered movement of people, goods and services in the continent. This also includes how the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) and other regional blocs are likely to play out.

U.S. federal judge halts Trump administration's bid to resume executions
(Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge has ordered a temporary halt to the scheduled executions next month of four inmates, saying that President Donald Trump’s administration lacked legal authorization to use its intended lethal-injection drug.
The ruling late on Wednesday by District Judge Tanya Chutkan effectively blocks the Justice Department’s attempt to resume the use of the death penalty after a 16-year hiatus.
The four inmates argued that the Justice Department’s plan to use the drug pentobarbital, instead of a three-drug cocktail that has been previously used in executions, ran afoul of federal laws.
“Because the public is not served by short-circuiting legitimate judicial process, and is greatly served by attempting to ensure that the most serious punishment is imposed lawfully, this court finds that it is in the public interest to issue a preliminary injunction,” Chutkan wrote in her 15-page ruling.
In July, the U.S. Justice Department reinstated a two-decades-long dormant policy allowing the federal government’s use of capital punishment, and immediately scheduled the executions for five death row federal inmates.
The last federal execution took place in 2003. Since then, protracted litigation over the drugs historically used in lethal injection executions prevented the government from continuing the practice, according to Justice Department officials.
