| Criminalization |
The complete prohibition of all forms of human trafficking, including sex and labor trafficking for men and women, children and adults. Penalties must be significant, usually meaning minimum sentences of 3-5 years. Note that, because the US trafficking report comes out annually in June, to avoid sequencing errors in our inference, a country is coded as having fully criminalized in a given year only if it had done so prior to the issuance of the report in June. Dates usually refer to the actual enactment of the legislation, but in cases where that information is not available, the month of passage of the legislation is used. If no date could be established, the country was coded as having fully criminalized that year (equivalent to an assumption that it criminalized before the report came out, thus biasing any systematic error against a finding of an effect of the report on criminalization). |

Pauline Manders was born in London. She trained as an ENT surgeon and moved to East Anglia with her husband and two children, where she worked for over thirty years in the NHS. Since retiring, she lives in a converted barn deep in rural Suffolk and at last has time to write, share her husband’s interest in classic cars and take Otto, her Weimaraner for long walks while thinking up plots for her crime novels. She is an enthusiastic member of a local carpentry group, and is currently carving three diving ducks to serve as legs to support a small table — this is proving quite a challenge!
For those who have not read her books, they are all set in Suffolk based around the fictional Utterly Academy in Stowmarket. They are cosy murder stories and readers will recognise a lot of the locations. Find out more on Pauline’s website and blog.
What inspired you to start writing?
It is said that everyone has a book within them or a tale to tell. I suppose it is part of human nature that we seek explanations for the unexplainable, use our imaginations and communicate. While I was still working, the nature of my work meant that I dealt in and wrote about facts, findings, treatment and outcomes. There was no room for creative flights of fancy. On my retirement from the NHS, I was no longer constrained by my work or time. I was at last free in a writing sense to take to the road and drive anywhere my imagination might lead. Or — one could say — I retired; was mildly bored; my husband couldn’t cope with my continual chatter; put his hands to his ears and said, “You’re doin’ my head in.” And so I started writing. It is quieter!
You have just published Utterly knotted. What can your readers expect from your latest book?
Utterly knotted features my main characters Chrissie, Matt and Nick, friends since completing a carpentry course at the fictional Utterly Academy. Knotweed inspired a thread throughout this book. It first crops up when a body is found near the railway line in Needham Market while Nick, a carpentry apprentice gets wasted at a gig miles away in Rattlesden. The friends follow separate trails stretching from Bury St Edmunds to Woodbridge and Felixstowe, and discover murky secrets from an abusive past. Throw into the mix a turkey farm, winery and French flea market pot and you have the ingredients for a perfect murder. My interest in carpentry, classic cars, scientific medical background and of course the Suffolk countryside colour this novel. The book stands alone and is a good one to start with, despite being a sequel to the previous books.
Are Chrissie, Matt and Nick based on real people?
I hope they appear real. They are each mildly flawed as individuals, but when their characters are combined, have the traits of a complete and complex person. I haven’t met that person yet!
Can you give us an insight into your writing process?
A bit of both. I start with an idea for the means of killing, i.e: fire, explosion, drowning, electricity and see it in the climax ending of the novel. Then I work forwards with a sketch of the plot, combining more than one strand. Next I start writing from the beginning and my subconscious comes up automatically with plot twists and embellishments which link with the main or secondary plot theme.
Suffolk features strongly in your books. Is there anywhere you would like to write about that you have not covered yet?
Suffolk is so rich in material and locations — where to begin? Gravel pits; lime and chalk quarry/pits; wet coastal grasslands; forests; so many rivers and disused airfields — I could go on and on. They all inspire me with plots.
Who is your favourite author and what is it that you like about their work?
How can one be narrowed down to choose a single author? I believe that favourite authors change and jostle for key position throughout one’s life. As a young teenager in the 1960s, J. R. Tolkien vied for my top of the charts with Agatha Christie — superb literary fantasy versus easy to read who-done-it. Living authors develop and change, so that for me early works by Iris Murdoch and A. N. Wilson were favourites. Likewise with early Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell. I think with age I have settled for entertainment, excellent writing, humour and escapism, so I choose Mary Wesley, Alexander McCall Smith and Bill Bryson, and the screen play writing skills of Anthony Horowitz (Foyle’s War). Nothing too shocking — I like to be able to sleep at night!
If you had to describe yourself in three words what would they be?
I suppose a hardworking, resilient, perfectionist.
What are you working on now? Is there anything you can tell us about your next project?
My next book! I have worked out the climax ending with the mode of death/killing. (It would spoil it if I spilled the beans here.) Now I have turned my mind to the plot. Currently I am researching ‘filming on location in Suffolk’ and have the opening chapter in my mind — they use set carpenters, which is perfect for my characters. I now have to think up/work out the secondary threads to the plot. I enjoy this part of the challenge — devising some unusual, whacky, off-beat twists and themes.

Trump says he likes 'the idea' of testifying in impeachment inquiry
by Naveel KrishantUS President Donald Trump has said he likes "the idea" of testifying in the impeachment inquiry against him.
In a tweet Trump said he would "strongly consider" the move after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested it over the weekend.
The Democrat-led inquiry is establishing whether Trump withheld aid to Ukraine in return for an inquiry into ex-Vice President Joe Biden.
The Republican president has dismissed it as a "witch hunt".

When a jail is cloned, iocage creates a ZFS clone filesystem. In a nutshell clones are cheap lightweight writable snapshots.
A clone depends on its source snapshot and filesystem. If you’d like to destroy the source jail and preserve its clones you need to promote the clone first, otherwise the source jail cannot be destroyed.
To promote a cloned jail, simply run:
iocage promote UUID
The above step will reverse the clone and source jail relationship. Basically the clone will become the source and the source jail will be demoted to a clone.
Now you can remove the demoted jail with:
iocage destroy UUID


PLEASANTVILLE **1/2 (out of four) -a review by Bill Chambers<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(Visit my review archive, play some movie trivia, and more! FILM FREAK CENTRAL http://www.geocities.com/~billchambers/ )
starring Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon, Joan Allen, Jeff Daniels written and directed by Gary Ross
PLEASANTVILLE is a kind of inverted Truman Show: its two protagonists are aware they are stuck in a TV show, but everybody around them isn't. This is a film that in its own peculiar way lectures against conformity-life without individuality as a (here, literally and figuratively) black and white world.
Maguire (The Ice Storm) stars as David, the World's Biggest "Pleasantville" (a fictitious "Father Knows Best"-like family values sitcom from the fifties) fan. One lonely Friday night, at the start of a "Pleasantville" marathon, he and his rebellious sister Jennifer (Witherspoon) are zapped into the program by a mysterious TV repairman (Don Knotts-whose cameo garnered loud applause at the recent Toronto International Film Festival premiere). The siblings must live out the lives of characters Bud and Mary Sue Parker, son and daughter of housewife Betty (Allen) and office man George (Fargo's William H. Macy). David knows every episode by heart, so he finds it easy to blend in; careless Jennifer is intent on taking Pleasantville by storm: within hours of her arrival she steals a basketball player's virginity and lectures her naive mother about the birds and the bees. Her impulsive actions trigger a most unusual effect on the gray landscape: flowers, trees, even people begin to look more vibrant than usual. At first, Maguire scrambles to undo Witherspoon's ‘mistakes', but when the love bug bites him unsuspectingly, he joins the Pleasantville revolution.
Ross's (co-screenwriter of Big) beautifully-photographed (by John Lindley) and scored (by Randy Newman) directorial debut is a flawed but fascinating motion picure that recalls the fantasies of Robert Zemeckis (Back To The Future, Forrest Gump). The movie demonstrates how a mini-society can be corrupted by, frankly, the introduction of free-spirited sex. Those who discover passion in Pleasantville turn to colour; the town's traditionalist mayor Big Bob (the late J.T. Walsh) outlaws "coloured people", resulting in street riots and political protests. But the movie wants to have its cake and eat it, too: David gives an impassioned, convincing speech that champions self-exploration and experimentation.
PLEASANTVILLE's most problematic character is Macy's: as a chauvanistic father and husband utterly dependent on his wife's homecare (he doesn't even know how to heat up leftovers), we actually feel sorry for him when she ditches him for golly-gee soda shop owner Daniels. It's not George's fault he is a prototypical man-of-the-house fifties TV character. Ross simultaneously resents and sympathizes with him. (The ending feels a bit rushed, glossing over exactly what will become of George and others like him.)
PLEASANTVILLE touches on giant issues (racism, book burning) but is a bit too PG-13 "pleasant" in its execution. I was never quite sure what Ross was trying to say, but his film is a finely acted, thought-provoking experience nonetheless.

Racing track and casino proposes $100M expansion
LEBANON, Ohio (AP) - A harness racing track and casino in Ohio has proposed a $100 million expansion project.
Miami Valley Gaming and Racing in southwestern Ohio’s Warren County is considering adding a hotel, restaurant, parking garage and additional gambling machines.
Domenic Mancini, the racino’s president and general manager, says the expansion will allow the racino to attract business from other major cities beyond Cincinnati and Dayton.
The project will create around 300 jobs during construction and about 100 permanent positions. It’s expected to be completed during the first half of 2021.
The proposed hotel will have 194 rooms. The parking garage will have spaces for about 1,000 cars.

A Barge Stuck Above Niagara Falls For Over a Century Broke Loose During a Storm
by Associated Press(NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario) — Parks officials are monitoring a century-old grounded barge that briefly broke loose during a storm last week in the river just above Niagara Falls.
WGRZ says the rusty iron scow had been stuck on rocks in the upper rapids above the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side since 1918. High winds and rain last Thursday dislodged it before it got stuck again. The Washington Post says it was originally about a third of a mile (0.5 km) from the brink of Horseshoe Falls. Then it moved about 164 feet (150 meters) downstream and became lodged again.
A Niagara Parks official said it could be stuck in its new location for days or years.


USD
"Universal Scene Description (USD) is the first publicly available software that addresses the need to robustly and scalably interchange and augment arbitrary 3D scenes that may be composed from many elemental assets." - Pixar
The History of USD and Me
-
It all started in VFX @ Animal Logic
-
Apart of the original technical team that brought USD through the doors
-
Apart of many discussions of how we were going to use USD to solve existing problems on the floor and what other opportunities it opened us up to
-
Led a team of six people to upgrade our Maya Modelling Pipeline, Surfacing pipeline's model to USD, along with upgrading parts of our VFX breakdown into USD
-
Provided support and education for Directors in USD so they could write tools based on USD and integrate them into the pipeline
What I wasn't apart of with USD
-
I wasn't apart of the leadership team that decided to adopt USD. Management were.
-
I wasn't apart of the design of the scene description. Production were.
Who supports USD
- Pixar(duh!)
- Disney
- Apple
- Dreamworks
- Animal Logic
- The Mill
- Method Studios
- Autodesk(Maya)
- AfterEffects(houdini)
- Google
What can USD do?
-
It is photoshop for scene creation. Where you can put edits into Layers then compose the Layers to make a final image, or hierarchy in USD's case
-
Layers in USD are files and can then be `Composed` together into a greater scene description
-
Layers are made up of Prims who makeup a "hierachical namespace" or unique path to an object in your world
-
You use these hierarchical namespace paths to `Override` Prims in your scene. This allowes you to move trees and change the look of cars all by changing Attributes and Metadata on these Prims.
-
You can non-destructivly turn ON or OFF Prims and even Layers to modify your World.
-
Do we need an EXAMPLE?
What can't USD do?
- Can't override Prims by identifiers or some UniqueID, only can target edits by this "hierarchical namespace"
-
It isn't an evaluation engine(Animation evaluation engine, or like Houdini's execution graph), but you can make graphs that can be evaluated
Composition of a USD scene
Terminology
- Stage
- Composes Layers together
- Provides access to the composed scene
- Layers
- Contains Prims(opinions)
- Call pull in and compose other Layers via `SubLayers`
- Prims
- Are the nodes in a USD hierarchy
- Can be specified as a Define(Def), Over or Class
- Can have a Type and a Kind(i.e. Xform, Mesh)
- Are the object with brings in the bulk of content into your scene
More Anatomy of a USD file
Intro to the Composition-Arcs and LiVRPs
- Sublayers
- Is Metadata of a Layer, not list editable
- Pulls in scene description from a file on disk
- The strongest of the Composition-Arcs
- References
- It's a list editable Metadata that lives on a Prim
- Pulls in hierarchies from the specified file
- Able to have external references and internal prim references
- Payloads
- Exactly like the reference, except it Lazy loads content
- You can't pick and choose which payload is loaded, if you choose to load payloads you load all of them
Even More Anatomy of a USD file
- Properties, Attributes and Metadata
- Attributes and Metadata are all Properties
- Metadata is more lightweight than Attributes since they arn't affected by Time
- There is all the standard Attribute types
- More info: USDRelationship is powerful Property which can reference any part of the scene description(Intermediate)
- Variant Sets
- Allows you to dynamic swap poritions of your scene
- Can only effect scene description below the point where the VariantSet lives
- Instancing
- Is Implicit Instancing, where the master isn't explicitly defined but determined by logic within USD that relies on a Reference
USD Workflows
USD Allows you to:
- Where you want a common interchange format between external people
- Have different departments of people contributing to a piece of the scene(I don't mean in a realtime collaborative way)
- Workflows where you want a department to non-destructivly affect the whole scene or part of it
- Where you want to move away from any single DDC who owns the scene, but instead have many apps modifying a central model that is your scene
Toolbox of a USD user
- UsdCat
- Prints out the contents of a USD file to stdout
- Allows you to convert USD files between USD extensions or other extensions
>usdcat lexus_ux.usda
- UsdView
- Goto tool to test composition of your scene, test out variant switches and change values
>usdview lexus_ux.usda
- UsdManager
- Created by DreamWorks
- Text editor based app that allows you to introspect compositon-arcs and follow them
- AL_USDMaya
- Create by Animal Logic
- It's goal is round trip USD hierarchies in-and-out of Maya

6.3 Magnitude Earthquake Struck Mexico
Strong earthquake was felt across the Mexican state of Chiapas and parts of Guatemala, Reuters and BGNES reported. The 6.3 magnitude earthquake and was recorded below the seabed at 22:27 local time (06:27 Bulgarian time), according to the European Mediterranean Seismological Center.
The quake was at a depth of 60 kilometers, with an epicentre about 90 kilometers off the coast of Mexico.
About 280 kilometers east of the epicentre is the capital of Guatemala - Guatemala City.
No casualties and devastation have been reported so far. There is no tsunami threat announcement either.

Applications can expose terminal-based applications through Mantissa by
providing factories to interact with objects providing the
twisted.conch.insults.insults.ITerminalTransport
interface.
These applications are restricted to clients with valid Mantissa
credentials and are published over an SSHv2 connection.
This document will explain how an application may plug in to this functionality to offer terminal-based functionality to users.
Readers should familiarize themselves with the following concepts in order to understand all sections of this document:
A Mantissa server created in the usual way (that is, using axiomatic mantissa
) includes an SSH server. You can
use axiomatic port list
to find out what port
it is listening on (usually it will be 8022). Once you determine the
port, connecting to the server is much like connecting to any other SSH
server. If you're using the OpenSSH command line client, you'll do
something like this:
ssh -p 8022 admin@localhost@localhost
admin@localhost@localhost
looks a little
strange, but it is necessary so that the full username the client uses to
log in is admin@localhost
, while the host the
client connects to is localhost
. A future
version of Mantissa may allow defaults for the domain part of a username,
changing this to just admin@localhost
.
Applications provide terminal-based functionality by writing a powerup
which can create new
twisted.conch.insults.insults.ITerminalProtocol
for
connections made to the server. Connections are first authenticated,
then some policy is used to select a particular
ITerminalServerFactory
to use to create a new
ITerminalProtocol
provider to interact with the connection.
Mantissa includes an implementation of a policy which presents clients
with a menu to select from all available
ITerminalServerFactory
powerups. Potential powerups are
presented to the user based on their name
attribute, so
application authors should try to select a value for this attribute which
is descriptive enough for users to make a decision in this context.
Aside from the name
attribute,
ITerminalServerFactory
defines only
buildTerminalProtocol
. This is similar to the
buildProtocol
method of a server factory. The returned
ITerminalProtocol
will be connected to a
ITerminalTransport
and then may behave in any way which
suits the application.
NoOpFactory
describes itself with the name
attribute as a no-op example
and returns an instance of
twisted.conch.insults.insults.TerminalProtocol
from its
buildTerminalProtocol
method. TerminalProtocol
is analogous to twisted.internet.protocol.Protocol
- it is a
base implementation which ignores all input and creates no output.
If a user store is powered up with NoOpFactory
and the site
store is configured with an SSH server, that user will be able to connect
to the server via SSH, select the no-op example
, and interact send
bytes (which will be ignored) to a TerminalProtocol
.
Only password authentication (ie, not key-based authentication) is supported in the current implementation.
The server's host key is stored in the site store as an attribute of the
xmantissa.terminal.SecureShellConfiguration
item. There is not yet a friendly user interface for changing it;
however, it may be edited directly (for example, using axiomatic browse
).

Book Review:
Hello! StorySnoops.com is here with another great selection for middle grade readers.
Here is the story:
Fourteen-year-old Doug doesn't have much going for him.  As Doug works hard to be more than the thug that people believe him to be, he finds an unlikely ally named Lil. Since she believes in him, he begins to believe in himself--and learn things about himself that he never knew. Through Lil and a connection he has made at the library, Doug finds the strength to endure his life: a town suspicious of him, an abusive father, and his brother, home from Vietnam and forever scarred. Doug learns not only how to survive his existence--but how to thrive in it.
Here is the scoop:
Written by a two-time Newbery Honor winning author, Okay for Now is one of those excellent books that is exceptional in the literary sense, and that teens will find compulsively readable as well. While some of the subject matter is serious, the tone is balanced with a bit of humor that serves to lighten things up. Doug is a flawed character who finds himself and turns his life around. He is a good person stuck in a bad situation; his alcoholic father is physically and verbally abusive, his mother is passive, and his oldest brother returns home from Vietnam emotionally damaged. In the midst of all of this negativity, Doug decides that it is up to him to make his life what he wants it to be, rather than letting his family or his town determine his fate. He takes charge of his life through incredible optimism and an indomitable spirit. While some adults (a P.E. teacher and his principal) are unkind to Doug, others support him. An especially touching friendship that he forges with a librarian changes his life when, inspired by paintings of birds in an Audubon book, Doug learns to draw and discovers his passion for art. With the help of a kind teacher, Doug overcomes his illiteracy. Okay for Now's themes of hope, friendship, community, perseverance, and self-discovery make it an inspiring read that is never over-the-top corny. Although it is a companion book to The Wednesday Wars, it is not necessary to have read the previous book to enjoy this one.

# Introduction to HTTP ---- ## Contents 1. Overview of HTTP 1. TCP 1. Verbs --- ## Overview of HTTP ### Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP is a stateless protocol, meaning every request is treated as a completely independent transaction. There is no relationship between one request and any previous requests; the server does not hold any information to connect several transactions with the same client. This allows the underlying system to easily scale, since adding more capacity to a load balanced environment means the requests are evenly distributed across the entire system. --- ## Overview of HTTP ### Request/Response Structure HTTP consists of a Request-Response client-server communication pattern; the client (usually a web browser) submits a request to a server (usually several load balanced web servers) which respond with the requested resource(s). An HTTP request consists of a URI and method (or HTTP verb) followed by various HTTP Header Fields ```bat GET /sport HTTP/1.1 Host: www.bbc.co.uk Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch Accept-Language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.6 Connection: keep-alive ``` --- ## Overview of HTTP ### Request/Response Structure An HTTP response consists of an HTTP Status Code, various HTTP Header Fields, and the resource body - where applicable ```bat HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache Expires: Fri, 18 Sep 2015 23:17:19 GMT Content-Language: en-GB Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 192376 Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2015 23:17:28 GMT Cache-Control: private, max-age=30 X-Cache-Action: HIT X-Cache-Hits: 35 X-Cache-Age: 9 X-LB-NoCache: true Vary: X-CDN Connection: keep-alive ``` --- ## TCP ### Transmission Control Protocol * TCP is the core protocol of the Internet Protocol. It is optimized for reliable, accurate, delivery of data packets. * As such, it is not specifically optimized for speed. * Making a large number of HTTP requests results in a large number of TCP connections and handshakes, which may result in an unoptimized user experience. --- ## TCP ### Three-way Handshake The TCP three-way handshake is made up of the operations: SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK * **SYN** - Sequence Number * **ACK** - Acknowledgement --- ## TCP ### Three-way Handshake 1. The client sends a `SYN` to the server. The client sets the segment's sequence number to a random value `M`. 1. The server replies with a `SYN-ACK`. The acknowledgment number is set to one more than the received sequence number i.e. `M+1`, and the sequence number that the server chooses for the packet is another random number, `N`. 1. The client sends an `ACK` to the server. The acknowledgement number is set to one more than the received sequence number i.e. `N+1`. --- ## TCP ### Three-way Handshake .center[![TCP Three-way handshake](tcp.png)] --- ## Verbs HTTP "verbs" are Methods by which a client can request a resource from a server. The most common ones are: * `GET` * `POST` * `PUT` * `DELETE` --- ### `GET` * The GET verb represents a request for a specific resource; no extra data is submitted. * It is considered "Safe"; multiple requests for the same resource should not change that resource. * GET is considered "Idempotent" as it achieves the same result no matter how many times it is executed. ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'products/123', type: 'GET', success: function(response) { /* use the returned data */ } }); ``` or the shorthand form ```javascript $.get('products/123', function(data){ /* use the returned data */ }; ``` --- ### `POST` * The POST verb is used to send data to the server, such as a form submission or file upload. * POST is *not* considered "Safe"; multiple requests to the same resource are actually requesting the server create multiple new instances of the submitted data. * POST is *not* considered "Idempotent" as it achieves a different result each time it is executed. What is a good way to handle this? ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'products/', type: 'POST', data: { name: "truck", price: "10GBP" } success: function(response) { /* use the returned data */ } }); ``` or the shorthand form ```javascript $.post( "products/", { name: "truck", price: "10GBP" }) .done(function( data ) { /* use the returned data */ }); ``` --- ### `PUT` * The PUT verb is usually used to update an existing resource with the data being submitted, or request creation of a resource with that data if it doesn't already exist * PUT is *not* "Safe" since it alters the resource at the URL * PUT is considered "Idempotent" - why? ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'products/123', type: 'PUT', data: { name: "truck", price: "10GBP" } success: function(response) { /* use the returned data */ } }); ``` --- ### `DELETE` * The DELETE verb requests the server to delete the resource identified by the URL. * DELETE is *not* "Safe" since it alters the resource at the URL (obviously!) * DELETE is considered "Idempotent" - why? ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'products/123', type: 'DELETE', success: function(result) { /* just status code returned */ } }); ``` --- ## Verbs * How do `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, and `DELETE` map to CRUD (Create Read Update Delete), if at all? * There are others such as `HEAD` and `OPTIONS` --- #### Exercise ---- 1. Create a single html page with a reference to jQuery 2. Configure it to make a `GET` request to a website using jQuery 3. Output the response - or part of the response - into the html page ---- #### Hints * Try using http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology * Remember the syntax: ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'products/123', type: 'GET', success: function(response) { /* use the returned data */ } }); ``` or ```javascript $.get('products/123', function(data){ /* use the returned data */ }; ``` ??? **EOC - STOP** --- # Essential HTTP ---- ## Contents 1. Headers 1. Status codes --- ## Headers Header fields are components of the header section of request and response messages. --- ### HTTP Request Message ```xml
[
] ``` * **Request Line** * [METHOD] [URI] [HTTP VERSION] e.g. `GET /sport HTTP/1.1`
* **General Headers** * Used in both request and response messages, usually just the date
* **Request Headers** * E.g. User-Agent, If-Modified-Since, and Accept headers
* **Entity Headers** * If sending data (e.g. via POST or PUT), these would have the content type and content length
* **Message Body** * If sending data, this is the encoded data ??? general-header * Cache-Control * Connection * Date * Pragma * Trailer * Transfer-Encoding * Upgrade * Via * Warning --- ### HTTP Request Message ```xml
[
] ``` ```bat GET /sport HTTP/1.1 Host: www.bbc.co.uk Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch Accept-Language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.6 Connection: keep-alive ``` --- ### HTTP Response Message ```

``` ??? EOS - PAUSE --- ### Accept Headers & Content Negotiation #### Accept By sending different request headers for the exact same resource, it is possible to retrieve that resource in a different format. For example, changing a request header from: ```bat Accept: text/xml ``` to ```bat Accept: text/javascript ``` could result in that same piece of data being returned in JSON instead of XML. --- ### Accept Headers & Content Negotiation #### Accept If you're implementing your own content negotiation, then you could support something less obvious, such as returning a visual representation of the same data if the request header is changed to: ```bat Accept: image/jpg ``` ??? Perhaps a *person* api; retrieve the data in xml, json, or as a vcard, or the vcard as an image, or a picture of the person as an image --- ### Accept Headers & Content Negotiation #### Accept The client is usually sending a series of preferences and their rank: ```bat Accept: text/html; q=1.0, text/*; q=0.8 ``` In this example we're giving `text/html` the highest preference (`1.0`) and then any other `text` a slightly lower rank (`0.8`). This allows the server to respond with the most appropriate type for this resource. --- ### Accept Headers & Content Negotiation #### Accept-Language A useful form of content negotiation is to make the same information available at the same URI, but in different languages. For example, changing a request header from: ```bat Accept-Language: en-GB ``` to ```bat Accept-Language: fr-FR ``` could deliver the same resource but in French instead of English. This particular header is set automatically by your browser based on the chosen system language. --- ### Accept Headers & Content Negotiation #### Accept-Language Similar to the `Accept` header setting a preference for various options, so too can we do this for `Accept-Language`: ```bat Accept-Language: de; q=1.0, en; q=0.5 ``` "I'd really prefer German, otherwise any English will do" ??? EOS - PAUSE --- ## Status codes The server always responds with an HTTP status code to identify what happened when processing the request. ![](http://www.evagoras.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/default_404.gif) --- ### 100s - FYI **Informational.** You'll never really see these in practise as they're just informational statuses between client and server * 100 - Continue * Used to inform the client that the initial part of the request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the server * 101 - Switching Protocols * For example, switching to a newer version of HTTP is advantageous over older versions, and switching to a real-time, synchronous protocol might be advantageous when delivering resources that use such features --- ### 200s - All good! **Great success!** The request went well, or is going well so far. There are a few of these, and the most common ones are below. * 200 - OK * The most common HTTP status code you'll see; the request succeeded. * 201 - Created * The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created. * 204 - No Content * The server has fulfilled the request but does not need to return an entity-body. * A common response from a `DELETE`. --- ### 300s - Over there **Redirection;** the client needs to go somewhere else in order to complete the request. Again, there are a few of these status codes so the more common ones are below. * 301 - Permanent Redirect * Returns an alternative location for the requested resource, informing the client to remember not to go to the original location any more. * 302 - Found (aka Temporary Redirect) * Returns a different location to the one originally requested; client is still allowed to go to the original location in subsequent requests. * 304 - Not Modified * Indicates the resource has not been modified since last requested. Typically, the client provides a header with a date and time against which to compare. * The response has no body, and merely informs the client that there is no newer version available so it should use the version it already has. --- ### 400s - You messed up **Client error;** something about the request was invalid or missing. There are many of these statuses, the most common ones being: * 400 - Bad Request * Really unhelpful. Generally related to bad syntax in the request. * 401 - Unauthorized * The request needs to have some form of authentication before the server will accept it. * 403 - Forbidden * The server understood the request, but is refusing to accept it. You may be authenticated (avoiding the 401) but you still may not have permission to view that resource. * Essentially, the computer said "no". --- ### 400s - You messed up * 404 - Not Found * The resource being requested does not match anything the server understands. * Unfortunately this error code has become a term understood by the general public due to early web developers (like me) being lazy, and letting the server deliver a default "404" page which early users became used to. * 405 - Method Not Allowed * For example, the client made a `PUT` request, but that particular resource is only available via `GET` * 418 - I'm A Teapot * The result of an April Fools' joke in 1998. However, there have been some implementations of it! --- ### 500s - I messed up **Server error;** the request was accepted, and something went horribly wrong when processing it. Here's a summary: * 500 - Internal Server Error * Another helpful one. Right up there with "Computer says 'no'". An unexpected condition occurred whilst processing the request. * 501 - Not Implemented * Similar to `405` (Method Not Allowed), except that the server itself has no idea how to handle that method at all, as opposed to a single resource doesn't support it. * 503 - Service Unavailable * The server is there, but it's unable to respond. It may be overloaded or undergoing maintenance. Usually a temporary condition. --- #### Exercise ---- 1. Open up dev tools on your browser 2. Make a request for a URL 3. Investigate the Request and Response headers and the status codes ---- #### Hints * Try using http://bbc.co.uk/sport * What are the first few responses doing? ??? **EOC - STOP** --- # Going Further with HTTP ---- 1. Caching --- ## Caching Web application caching is the process of storing dynamically generated data for reuse. * It can reduce the load on the server, give a faster response, and reduce network load --- ## Caching There are many different possible locations between the server code and the browser window where the resources can be cached; where can you think of? -- These are the main categories of cache: 1. Browser Cache 1. Proxy Cache 1. Reverse Proxy (aka Surrogate) 1. Server Cache --- ## Caching ### 1. Browser Cache A browser cache stores the recently viewed web content (html/text pages, images, javascript files, stylesheets, etc), in order to speed up the browsing experience for the end user. Returning to a page already in the browser cache will result in an HTTP `304` status for any cached resource that had an appropriate caching header defined, allowing the browser to cache it. Such files are commonly the static content, such as images, javascript, and css stylesheets. Executing a "Hard Refresh" or clearing the browser's cache forces it to request the resources from the server again. --- ## Caching ### 2. Proxy Caching Where several users may be sharing the same internet connection, the device that provides external access may also act as a cache. This can significantly reduce bandwidth when many users are accessing the same or similar resources. The idea being that only one user needs to request a resource from the orgin server and any other users requesting the same resource can be served it from the proxy cache instead. ??? Would subsequent users receive a 304? Not sure.. --- ## Caching ### 3. Reverse Proxy A reverse proxy protects the origin server by filtering all traffic thorugh itself as if it were the web server - hence the other term of "Surrogate". The client has no knowledge that it's interacting with a proxy instea dof a server unless the proxy is configured to add extra HTTP Headers to the Response message (e.g. a `Via` header). Reverse proxies can be the difference between a server meltdown in unpredictably busy periods and your site staying up. --- ## Caching ### 4. Server Cache The server itself can cache dynamically created content in memory, such that subsequent requests for the same content are not regenerated. ASP.Net MVC has some very convenient attributes avilable to allow the server to cache individual actions or entire controllers. It can be configured to serve the cached version for a set period of time, based on a combination of headers and parameters: ```cs [OutputCache(Duration = 30, VaryByParam = "id", VaryByHeader = "Accept-Language")] ``` ??? Why is an in-memory cache bad? Discuss distributed caches. EOS - PAUSE --- ## Caching Rules The rules around whether a resource can be cached or not, and if so for how long and where, are defined in the Response HTTP Headers. * Dynamic Content * Cachable Private Content * Cachable Public Content --- ## Caching Rules ### Dynamic Content The headers that say "Nothing is allowed to cache this resource": ```bat Pragma: no-cache Cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate ``` For when the content of the resource is expected to change for each request, or to change frequently enough so as to make caching detrimental to the expeerience for the end user. ??? Notice the expires header is in the past; nothing should try to cache this https://code.google.com/p/doctype-mirror/wiki/ArticleHttpCaching --- ## Caching Rules ### Cachable Private Content This resource can be cached, but *only* in the end user's browser cache: ```bat Cache-control: private, max-age=36000 ``` The content is specific to the end user, and as such should not be cached in a shared access cache, such as proxy or reverse proxy. ??? Expires in the past is for legacy http 1.0 proxies --- ## Caching Rules ### Cachable Public Content This resource can be cached anywhere: ```bat Cache-control: public, max-age=1209600 ``` Cache it anywhere, for anyone. --- #### Exercise 1 ---- 1. Create an **Empty MVC** Web Project within Visual Studio 1. Add a controller `TimeController.cs` and create a class `TimeViewModel.cs` ```cs public class TimeViewModel { public string CurrentTime { get; set; } } ``` 1. Create a view `~/Views/Time/Index.cshtml` to display the view model 1. Create an action `Index` on `TimeController` to return this `Index.cshtml` view, passing in a new instance of `TimeViewModel.cs` with the current time. 1. Implement caching on the action to cache for 10 seconds: ```cs [OutputCache(Duration = 10] ``` 1. Run the project and refresh your page. What happens? --- #### Exercise 2 ---- 1. Alter your attribute to allow the caching to vary by a querystring parameter: ```cs [OutputCache(Duration = 10, VaryByParam = "x")] ``` 1. Run the project, refresh your page and note the results. 1. Add the querystring param "x" with different values and refresh.

U.S. President Signs $700 Billion Defense Bill, Authorizing Blockchain Security Study
“Yesterday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a $700 billion military spending bill, authorizing a blockchain security study. The bill aims to improve the government’s IT and cybersecurity systems”
Reportedly, U.S. President Donald Trump has officially signed a $700 billion military spending bill, which includes the authority to conduct a blockchain security study.
According to the latest version of the bill, the blockchain study mainly includes “an assessment of efforts by foreign powers, extremist organizations, and criminal networks to utilize these technologies; an assessment of the use or planned use of such technologies by the Federal Government and critical infrastructure networks.”
The bill is pushed forward by the U.S. Senate, calling for the Department of Defense to investigate “potential offensive and defensive cyber applications of blockchain technology and other distributed database technologies.” According to the text, the study results will be delivered to Congress within 6 months.
Although the study is planned to be prepared by the Department of Defense which has explored many applications, the final product probably includes the input from other federal agencies and departments.
Last month, Trey Hodgkins, Senior Vice President of Public Sector at the Information Technology Industry Council (ITIC) in Washington, D.C., said, “Blockchain was clearly one of the technological capabilities that Congress meant for agencies to look at, and what they were trying to do was to create dollars with some flexibility to them so that agencies would have their own discretion on what they invest in.”
Some observers believe that the measure proposed by Rob Portman, a Senator of Ohio, may help facilitate the study on possible blockchain applications within the U.S. government.

In the MPI-1 standard (Section 4.2), collective operations only apply to intracommunicators; however, most MPI collective operations can be generalized to intercommunicators. To understand how MPI can be extended, we can view most MPI intracommunicator collective operations as fitting one of the following categories (see, for instance, [20]):
The extension of collective communication from intracommunicators to intercommunicators is best described in terms of the left and right groups. For example, an all-to-all MPI_Allgather operation can be described as collecting data from all members of one group with the result appearing in all members of the other group (see Figure 11 ). As another example, a one-to-all MPI_Bcast operation sends data from one member of one group to all members of the other group. Collective computation operations such as MPI_REDUCE_SCATTER have a similar interpretation (see Figure 12 ). For intracommunicators, these two groups are the same. For intercommunicators, these two groups are distinct. For the all-to-all operations, each such operation is described in two phases, so that it has a symmetric, full-duplex behavior.
For MPI-2, the following intracommunicator collective operations also apply to intercommunicators:
These functions use exactly the same argument list as their MPI-1 counterparts and also work on intracommunicators, as expected. No new language bindings are consequently needed for Fortran or C. However, in C++, the bindings have been "relaxed"; these member functions have been moved from the MPI::Intercomm class to the MPI::Comm class. But since the collective operations do not make sense on a C++ MPI::Comm (since it is neither an intercommunicator nor an intracommunicator), the functions are all pure virtual. In an MPI-2 implementation, the bindings in this chapter supersede the corresponding bindings for MPI-1.2.
[ ]Intercommunicator allgather. The focus of data to one process is represented, not mandated by the semantics. The two phases do allgathers in both directions.
[ ]Intercommunicator reduce-scatter. The focus of data to one process is represented, not mandated by the semantics. The two phases do reduce-scatters in both directions.

Louis Saha reveals Gary Neville predicted he’d miss penalty against Celtic
by David FowlerLOUIS SAHA has revealed Gary Neville predicted he'd miss from the spot against Celtic in the Champions League.
The duo were starring for Manchester United on that famous night in 2006 that Hoops fans will never forget.
Shunsuke Nakamura netted an unforgettable free-kick before a late Artur Boruc penalty save secured three huge European points at Parkhead.
Glasgow's East End was rocking as 60,000 fans celebrated the missed effort from 12-yards.
And Saha admits he was raging after reading what his team-mate has said in the newspaper.
He told FourFourTwo: "The worst memory about it is that my own team-mate, Gary Neville, actually predicted I'd miss the penalty!
"He said that to someone, then I read it in a newspaper - I was fuming!
"But with Gary, we argued a lot, so no change there.
"It's about how you react, and the following weekend I scored against Chelsea , one of the best goals I scored in my career."
That last-minute penalty save earned Gordon Strachan's men a place in the Champions League knockout stages.
And 13 years on from the cagey affair at Parkhead, Saha has praised Boruc for his stop.
He added: "Of course, I have to credit Celtic 's goalkeeper for the penalty.
"It was a good save."

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to the Unplugged Retreat?
Air travel to the nearest airport is included in the price of all of our team-building packages. Just let your facilitator know which major airport is closest to you and you will be given a price that includes this cost within 24 hours.
What kind of team is right for the Unplugged retreat?
Any team kind of team is welcome at Unplugged Retreats. Whether your team just needs to refocus, or find its focus, we have the program to help you get your company to the next level.
What size teams can you accommodate?
The most successful teams we have seen have been between 8 and 10 individuals. While larger groups can be successfully helped by breaking the whole into smaller parts, finding a way to make all of the parts work together may not work as intended. We welcome groups of all sizes, regardless!
Is there really no wifi available?
There is no wifi available, it is true. There are, however, dedicated rooms with a computer from which you can conduct an emergency situation, should the need arise. The point of these retreats, though, is to disconnect and grow both individually and as a team.

All three of these things are examples of closures in ruby. What this means in laymans terms it that they are ways of grouping code we plan on running. So you might be wondering why the need for three different names if all three of them are closures. The reason for this is that have some key differences in the way they behave and are used.
Blocks are the most common closures in ruby. If you have been playing in ruby long you have likely already used a block and just not known it. Blocks are those little bits of code you typically feed to methods from the Enumerable module when using Arrays and Hashes like methods each, map or collect below.
some_array.collect! do |x|
x += 5
end
# alternatively
some_array.collect! { |x|
x += 5
}
These methods work by passing the block like an argument to the function to be evaluated in the method. To demonstrate exactly what is happening here lets make our own version of collect! for Array. The code below adds a method to the Array class that will act just like collect! but under the name iterate!.
class Array
def iterate!
self.each_index do |i|
self[i] = yield self[i]
end
end
end
some_array.iterate! do |x|
x += 5
end
As you saw above a block is basically a function that you don't name, which is actually what lambdas are named for. They are named after a form of calculus introduced in the 1930s to help simplify the semantics of computable functions. However thats not really pertinent. What is relevant is how and why you might use a lambda and the most common reason would be as part of the eternal struggle to stay DRY(Don't Repeat Yourself) while programming. Lets say you have two or more arrays in the same segment of code that requires the same operation to every member. You could make two calls to collect! repeating the same block both times or you could create a lambda and pass that lambda to both calls.
lam = lambda do |x|
x += 5
end
some_array.collect! &lam
some_other_array.collect! &lam
# alternative lambda declaration
alt_lam = ->(x){x += 5}
The later of the lambda declarations is similar to the form of calculus that its named after.
Proc stands for procedure. These are another type of block that you can assign a name. However the syntax of a Proc is different from that of a lambda. Lets do the same thing using a Proc that we just did with our lambda code.
proc = Proc.new do |x|
x += 5
end
some_array.collect! &proc
some_other_array.collect! &proc
You may be wondering what the difference between a lambda and Proc actually is, especially if you've done something like this:
lambda{ |x| x += 5 }.class
Proc.new { |x| x += 5 }.class
If you ran that code you know that both are instances of the Proc class. While lambda is technically an instance of the Proc class it actually does behave differently than an object made through Proc.new. The main difference is in the way the two handle the use of return. When dealing with a lambda ruby will treat the code as though it is method without a name, meaning the use of return will cause the code to exit from the lambda and return to the context that called the lambda. With a Proc ruby will behave as though the Proc is simply a snippet of code it has been asked to process and when return is encountered it will exit from the Proc and the context that called the Proc. With a Proc in ruby 2.0 a LocalJumpError will be raised if you attempt to call a Proc that has a return statement
def returnTest code
code.call
return "returned from returnTest"
end
returnTest Proc.new { return "returned from Proc" }
returnTest lambda { return "returned from lambda" }
One final thing to note about blocks in Ruby is that if you already have a function defined and want to use that in a method that requires a block you can actually pass that function with the right syntax.
def plusFive num
num += 5
end
some_array.collect! &method(:plusFive)


Congratulations, you've just encoded your first sequence of notes in MEI. Now let's adjust some duration values to encode your first simple melody – you certainly know "Mary had a little lamb":
Please try to reproduce the melody above with MEI. Each note needs @pname
, @oct
and @dur
.
Keep in mind that the @dur
attribute can have values like "1"
, "2"
, "4"
,
"8"
or "16"
to indicate different rhythmical values.
For the first note, you need an additional @dots
attribute, where you need to specify
the number of dots as an integer – in this case, it's simply a dots="1"
.


Lets Play Rock-Paper-Scissors!!!
Please make a Selection
Rock
Paper
Scissor

The schema details the axel core actions and their attributes.
As an example - the code action has three attribures which are
The List of Types shows the options available when an action references a type. As an example - thehttp action references method_options which defaults to 'get'.

Once again, I found an awesome project via twitter, this time from
Johan Kanflo
via this article from hackaday folks:
After reading the details, I promptly ordered my own device, specifically
this RD DPS5015 Buck Power Supply LCD color display step-down voltage converter on eBay. This DPS is similar, but different than the one Johan used, going on the assumption that it is similar: "Although this guide is written for the ‘5005 it should work for the entire DPS family but I only have 5005s to test with
."
Upon inspection, I found that the onboard processor is an 32F100C8T6B with the LQFP48 pinout using the same pin configuration as on the DPS5005 in Johan's project:
"Medium-density devices are STM32F100x8 and STM32F100xB microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 64 and 128 Kbytes." [*1]
The [x] is a placeholder for only 1 character, not "all characters until the end, excluding the last B". The "B" in STM32F100CB means "128KB". This is not to be confused with STM32F100C8 or in the case of the DPS5015 - the STM32F100C8T6B - which are 64KB devices.
Don't confuse the 8 or B with the trailing "B" on the end, That last B is an "Internal Code" having nothing to do with flash size.
I had OpenOCD for Windows installed via the sysprog VisualGDB app, so I used that one:
cd C:\SysGCC\esp8266\esp8266-bsp\OpenOCD\share\openocd\scripts
and so ok, once I have Ubuntu on Windows (am I the only one to find that crazy?!?! *Ubuntu* on *Windows* - wow!)... all the toolchain items need to be installed fresh. None of the Windows binaries will run. So I installed the items listed here:
I ended up hosting the OpenOCD from MINGW64 bash prompt, but programming via the Ubuntu bash prompt (this is NOT a good idea). The problem is with the apparent path. When doing a "make flash" - I kept getting a "couldn't open opendps.elf" error (yet the file was there).
Doing a "pwd" from the OpenOCD telnet session revealed all!
C:/workspace/opendps/openocd/scripts
This is despite the fact that MINGW64 sees the path as:
/c/workspace/opendps/openocd/scripts
and the Ubuntu Bash sees it as:
/mnt/c/workspace/ ...
the libopencm3.rules.mk file had this simple command for "make flash":
program $(*).elf verify reset exit
so I used a manual command in the OpenOCD telnet session:
program c:/workspace/opendps/opendps/opendps.elf verify reset
