Last Week in ManageIQ: Swift, vCloud, PG upgrades, and the Euwe beta
Hi everyone! This is Jason, bringing you this week’s Last Week in ManageIQ. This past week was the final development week before the upcoming beta release of the Euwe branch! After the beta release, we will start on many weeks of stabilization, so keep on the lookout for lots of bug fixes in the coming weeks.
Featured
Last week, we merged 106 PRs, of which 37 were enhancements. In total, there were 339 commits by 47 contributors. If you want to join in on the fun, be sure to checkout the issues tracker.
Improved
Move the postgresql mountpoint up
Along with ManageIQ/manageiq-appliance-build#165
and ManageIQ/manageiq-appliance#91,
this PR changes the mountpoint location of the PostgreSQL data disk. The
pg_upgrade
tool from PostgreSQL has a really cool feature where it will use
hard links for files that are the same on both sides of the upgrade, which can
save a significant amount of space. However, the current mountpoint is too deep
and makes taking advantage of that feature difficult. So, this PR moves us in a
direction for easier PostgreSQL upgrades. Thanks
Nick!
Handle the case that a parameter group does not have label
OpenStack Heat templates are supposed to follow the spec, and part of the spec is to include a label and description for parameter groups. However, in reality, not every template has these properties. Bill put together this PR to loosen up the requirements, making it just that much easier for our users.
Fixed
Disable same origin as host matching in development
Dávid wrote up this pull request for one of those is-it-a-fix-or-an-enhancement bugs, where he loosened the same-origin policy in development mode only. Developers who work on the service UI will benefit the most, as they are once again able to run the service UI in development mode and still have it talk over websockets on another host. In production, on the appliance, the same-origin policy still applies and has not been changed.
Force expand node when selecting service catalog entry point
Coincidentally, Dávid has the second featured fix this week, with a fix to the service catalog entry point modal. The change is to automatically expand the tree to the point of the current selection. Sometimes a one-line fix goes a long way towards usability!
New
New Swift Storage Provider
As we expand further into managing storage providers, Jerry has added management of OpenStack Swift object storage. Along with the recent Cinder addition, this greatly improves ManageIQ’s storage coverage. Moving forward, this Swift integration could be used as the base for non-OpenStack standalone Swift providers.
Implement VMware Cloud EventCatcher backend
Miha expanded on the VMware vCloud provider with this enhancement to add the EventCatcher. When creating a new provider, the EventCatcher is one of the most crucial components, as it is generally the main driver of automatic inventory updates, so this is a really important update for vCloud support!
Deleted
Extract ActsAsArModel to QueryRelation gem
Although not technically a true “deletion”, the ActsAsArQuery functionality was extracted to the query_relation gem by yours truly. ActsAsArQuery, originally written by Keenan, provides an ActiveRecord-like query interface for non-SQL backends. Moving it out to a new gem allows it to be reused by the new manageiq-api-client.
Drop redundant User.in_my_region
When enterprise regioning was in its early days, the User model had its own region column. As time went on, all tables assumed their region number from the id range and general methods were made for querying by region. However, the User model never changed and has been that way since 2010! Šimon finally got rid of these in this pull request, and has made the User model consistent with everything else.
Wrapping up
It was really hard for me to choose this week, but take a look here for all of the other merged PRs. Have a great week and Happy Coding!


Our society is facing numerous difficult social tasks such as religion/ethnic/military confliction,
WMD, terrorism, dictatorship, racism, poverty, destruction of nature, natural disasters, lack of effective support for developing countries, human rights protection, etc. Fortunately, some brave activists are already taking actions to solve certain social issues depending on their interest, but the number of change-makers is totally not enough. On the other hand, it is extremely difficult (maybe impossible) for a single person to take action to solve various types of social issues, but that does not mean that he/she can ignore the problems that he/she is not directly related. Therefore, our society is strongly/immediately requiring more change-makers who have passion, vision, knowledge, and compassion to solve social issues.
In July 2015, VIA Next Innovators was founded by Japanese members who completed ESI or DSI (programs focused on social innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, design thinking, etc.) offered by VIA (Volunteers in Asia), a non-profit 501(c) organization based in San Francisco, United States. In partnership/cooperation/discussion with VIA, VIA Next Innovators aims at developing/maintaining/expanding a strong professional network of social innovators that will help our society and allow people to reach their potentials. By taking such actions, we will contribute in order to lead the global society in a good way.
Our vision is to contribute to our global society by increasing and connecting social innovators in Japan.

Class at the cemetery
Dutch university lets students lie inside pit to reconcile with mortality
by AgenciesA university in the Netherlands has come up with a unique way for students to contemplate life and death. Lie in a grave. Radboud University in the Dutch city of Nijmegen has a grave located behind the school's chapel and students can book sessions to lie it in and meditate. The idea behind getting students to sign up for the experience, it to help them reflect about life and what is important. "A modern form of memento mori, which means that you are aware that you are mortal," the University website shared. "It's an invitation along the lines of: make something out of your life."
Telephones and books are prohibited. A pillow and mat are provided to students, who reportedly can use the grave for between 30 minutes and three hours. The university had earlier carried out a similar project from 2009 to 2011. The project was started by school chaplain John Hacking. "The end of life and death, is a taboo; difficult for students to talk about. Especially when you are 18, 19 and 20 years old," he told news outlet Ruptly.
Vice reported in October that the first phase only drew 39 people in the two years it was operational. The response this time around, however, has been more encouraging with a few people using it every week. So far, 15 students have used it.

Tuscany's boars snort coke stash hidden in forest
A group of drug dealers have lost cocaine stash worth £17,000 (Rs 15 lakh), after it was destroyed by a group of wild boars. They are believed to have buried the drugs in a forest in Tuscany to prevent it from being found by police. However, wild boars dug up the packages that were found scattered around the woods. Police knew about the drug-taking hogs after tapping a conversation between two alleged dealers. They arrested three Albanians and an Italian.
The drug dealers are not the only people concerned about the number of wild boars in Italy. Farmers are unhappy with the damage they are causing to land, while drivers have reported an increase in accidents on the roads of Italy.

Site Map
American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) is an organization dedicated to music therapists and music therapy clients. The purpose of the site is to provide information about AMTA for members, future members, and clients searching for therapists.
The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) is committed to the advancement of education, training, professional standards, credentials, and research in support of the music therapy profession. Upon looking at the site, we determined that AMTA's website's user interface and information architecture could benefit from a redesign. We started with a heuristic evaluation to get an indepth look at AMTA's site.
We did user research and redesigned AMTA's information architecture and visual design.
American Music Therapy Association Website Demo
Looking at the American Musical Therapy Association’s goals for their website, we were able to create AMTA’s pool of their intended audience. We identified the audience of the site as music therapists, patients and the family of current patients or potential patients, and other individuals who care about music therapy or who may want to donate to the association. We did a heuristic evaluation with these intended audiences in mind. Based on our findings, we created an inital redesign of the site.
Original AMTA website before the evaluation
First website redesign after evaluation
The AMTA site offers a lot of information, but it is not well-organized. The content hierarchy of the site is three levels. The first level is the menu level (e.g. Home, Contact, and News). The rest of the levels are sub-content of the first level. Here, we found that within most of the first level pages are the links to their low-level pages, so the pages are redundant. Also, we found that there are many duplicate pages. Some pages require an AMTA member login, so we couldn’t get any information from those pages. The website page format consists of either .html or .pdf. For users, especially those who visit the website via mobile devices, these inconsistent formats are difficult to navigate. This is a portion of our content inventory.
A portion of our content inventory
With this competitive analysis, we wanted to compare the AMTA website with others of its kind to know what features are necessary to keep, add, or delete. We selected our competitors, or peers, by looking at the therapy industry. Our focus was to organize the content of the AMTA website, so we prioritized looking at the information architecture.
Competitive analysis of seven different websites
To sum it up:
Because we could not connect with any music therapists and organizations due to limited time and resources, we did not interview any music therapists for the personas. Hence, we searched and read existing interviews of music therapists, gathered information from these interviews, and categorized them. We created two personas based on our research.
This persona reflects music therapists who are middle-aged and are established in the field.
And this persona reflects new therapists who want to get into the music therapy field.
To initiate the reorganization of AMTA, we conducted a card sorting anaylsis. To conduct the card sorting efficiently, we used online card sorting tool built by Optimal Workshop. We started with 27 categories. There were 13 participants in the card sorting test. After the card sorting, we listed all the existing categories and their child pages and decreased the number of the categories from 27 to 13. We split the final 13 categories into three parts: main navigation, top navigation, and footer.
Before the cardsort: 27 categories
After the cardsort: 13 categories
After card sorting, we examined and reorganized the whole website. We assigned each page to its new category. This is the homepage of our low fidelity mockup.
Low-fi mockup homepage
We recruited 5 users to do our usability test. According to the instructions from the Nielsen Norman Group, we created a list of three user scenarios. In order to meet the needs of the website, the users assumed the role of music therapists, patients and family, and other individuals.
During the test, some of the users wondered whether or not they needed to login to the system to complete different tasks. Some also related the word "Support" to "Tech Support" and not "Donate" as we intended.
Based on the usability testing, we created our final modification of AMTA's information architecture.
Initial ATMA site modification
New AMTA sitemap modification after usability testing
After recreating the new sitemap, we designed our high-fidelity prototype.
Through redesigning the American Music Therapy Association website, my group and I corrected the website's organization, conducted usability testing, and designed a prototype.
We learned:
There is merit in thinking outside the box. If this website were to be developed, In the ideation process, we didn’t have a persona for individuals who are not therapists and may use the website with the role of a patient or someone who desires to become more educated about the topic. In future research, we would like to create a non-therapist persona and design for them to meet the needs of this demographic.

The exercise underway in Norfolk is part of a wave of focused school inspections taking place during the current term in local authority areas where the proportion of children attending a good or outstanding school is currently well below the national average.
The most recent published data shows that only 54% of secondary school children in Norfolk attend a good or better school. For primary school children, the figure is 63%.
This week’s exercise is part of a concerted programme of action by Ofsted to establish why children in some parts of the country have a much lower chance of attending a good or better school than their peers in other similar areas. It follows the publication of Ofsted’s Annual Report at the end of November, which found marked and unacceptable variations in school performance between local authority areas with similar demographics and levels of deprivation.
Sean Harford, Ofsted Regional Director for the East of England, said:
‘Every parent wants their child to go to a good or better school. However, in Norfolk a little over half of secondary school age children and only 63% of primary school children currently do so.
‘It cannot be right that local authority areas with similar demographics - such as the size of the population and the levels of deprivation - have such varying levels of provision in schools.
‘That is why we are carrying out focused school inspections across under-performing areas, where we will be looking not just at the performance of the individual schools but also the support they are receiving from their local authority. We will be seeking to determine whether councils are really fulfilling their statutory duties to promote high standards and fair access to educational opportunity.’
The school inspections taking place over the next five days were scheduled to take place this academic year but are being brought forward.
At the same time, Ofsted will conduct a separate telephone survey of a number of Norfolk’s schools, which are not being inspected.
Together this will give a powerful snapshot of not only how well schools are doing in Norfolk since the Annual Report data was collected, but also a strong indication of the quality of external support and direction given to the schools by the local authority.
Evidence gathered from this exercise will be drawn together by inspectors for HM Chief Inspector and the East of England Regional Director. The findings and any recommendations will then be shared with the local authority as well as schools, parents and the wider local public.
Last month, Ofsted launched a consultation on a new framework to inspect the school improvement service being provided by underperforming local authorities.
If inspectors find during the current wave of focused inspections that a local authority is being proactive in addressing key issues and that standards in schools are improving, this will be made clear in a letter setting out the principal findings to that local authority.
However, if there is evidence that the local authority is not fulfilling its statutory duty to promote high standards and fair access to educational opportunity, Ofsted will move to carry out an inspection of that authority’s school improvement function under the new framework that is due to come into effect from May.
Ofsted will also be able to inspect the school improvement functions of any local authority where there are concerns that the statutory duty to improve school standards is not being met. This may include areas where the performance of schools has declined since the data was collected for the last Annual Report.
Notes to editors
Data used is that which was published on 7 March.
HM Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, announced a series of measures to tackle variations in school performance across different local authority areas on 17 January. These included:
-
a series of targeted school inspections within a condensed one-week period in areas where the proportion of children attending a good or better school is currently well below the national average for England
-
a new framework for Ofsted to inspect the school improvement service
being provided by under-performing local authorities
-
a good practice survey, now underway by Ofsted, to share and showcase some of the best examples of local authority support and challenge for schools across the country
Sean Harford, Regional Director for the East of England, will be available for interviews in Norfolk on Tuesday 12 March 2013. Please call Ofsted’s Press Office for interview requests

Slope Distribution Functions and Geometric AttenuationWe've talked about both slope distribution and geometric attenuation functions in class. Here's a visual comparison and some observations you might not find in the texts. The slope distribution function is a function that predicts the percentage of the microfacets of a rough surface that are oriented for reflection from some direction to some other direction. For an isotropic surface (i.e. the rotational orientation of the surface about the normal doesn't matter - it's the same regardless of orientation), this reduces to the probability that microfacets will be oriented in some direction, H, that deviates from the surface normal, N, by some angle. There are several options presented in the literature:
Visual ComparisonsThe Blinn, Gaussian, Trowbridge-Rietz, and Beckmann functions have a very similar appearance when normalized similarly. The Phong model is distinctly different - attributable, in my opinion, to its adoption as an expedient and empirical approximation rather than being an approximation derived from theory. The following images show the various models used in a typical image and in an image with a lights an various angle above a horizon and reflecting at near grazing angle.
Note that in the last image set, 3 lights at different heights above the horizon. The Blinn, Gaussian, and Trowbridge-Rietz are similar to what we expect when we see the sun set over the ocean, while the Phong generates highlights that are not in the realm of our normal experience. The lights are over the surface so the bright spot before the start of the highlight is the diffuse illumination from the source. My conclusion - the Blinn cosine distribution function is visually close enough to the theoretically derived functions, and so much easier to calculate that I'll normally use it in images. Geometric AttenuationGeometric attenuation accounts for self shading of microfacets in a rough surface. Below is an example without (left) and with (right) geometric attenuation. The effects are quite subtle and are most visible as the light angle approaches grazing. In my opinion, the computational expense of geometric attenuation is quite high relative to its importance in image appearance.

FALLEN (director: Gregory Hoblit; screenwriter: Nicholas Kazan; cinematographer: Newton Thomas Sigel; editor: Lawrence Jordan; cast: Elias Koteas (Edgar Reese), Denzel Washington (John Hobbes), John Goodman (Jonesy), Donald Sutherland (Lt. Stanton), Embeth Davidtz (Gretta Milano), James Gandolfini (Lou), Robert Joy (Charles), Gabriel Casseus (Art ), Michael J. Pagan (Sam), 1998)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
It takes too much of a suspension of reality to believe in this outlandish plot: the devil is in our heads and was placed there by ordinary contact with others (it spreads like germs do), even though it is played with zeal and candor by Denzel Washington, who is the squeaky-clean super Detective John Hobbes. He works with his partner of 12+ years, Jonesy (John Goodman), on homicides. The occult thriller takes too long to develop (over two hours) and when it finally gets to where it is going, it ends up nowhere.
The film is basically a horror film teaser, trying to say something about Azazel that it really can't say without sounding ridiculous. It uses the Rolling Stones' 1960s theme song of "Time Is on My Side" to make its own theme become indelibly linked with all the serial murders and tries to give the film a noir feel to it, with a constant voiceover by Denzel trying to explain how incredible it is that his life is falling apart. There is also heavy use of fuzzy camera images by the cinematographer to indicate that the devil was being photographed from his point of view. These shots of the devil's viewpoint were overworked into the script to the point of overkill. The film worked only on a superficial level, as light entertainment and should be given credit for, at least, attempting to have a literate script. It is basically an escapist film, that failed to build-up tension as the story went on. Indeed, by the film's last scene, the story waned in interest, proving mosly that time wasn't on its side.
The film opens with a flashback and voiceover by Detective Hobbes: "I want to tell you about the time I almost died,'' and then he tells of the events that led up to the dire predicament he now is in, as we see him crawling on his hands and knees in an isolated snowy area in the woods. It then cuts to Death Row, where a killer, Reese (Elias Koteas), is about to go to the gas chamber. His death is being filmed by the ACLU. Hobbes is among the witnesses to the execution and sees the killer in his cell before he is brought out to the gas chamber, where the killer sings to him "Time Is on My Side," mumbles some mumbo jumbo, grabs the detective's hand, and tells him a riddle: Where is there a space between Lyons and Spakowsky? The camera shot of his death in the gas chamber, shows his physical death, but there is a point-of-view aerial shot that reveals that the evil spirit is loose. In seconds, the spirit climbs into the body of its next victim and takes him over. Thusly, we have all been duly prepped for the supernatural part of the story to follow.
Hobbes then returns to the police station in Philadelphia, which he loves so much. We see him smugly on TV as the hero cop who made the pinch of the executed killer; we see him happily at home with his brother and nephew; and, then we see him interact good-naturedly with his co-workers-- his boss, the reticent Lieutenant Stanton (Donald Sutherland), his good-friend Jonesy, and a sleazy cop, Lou (Gandolfini), who tries to ride him for being a saint. These scenes have a good feel to them as they are grounded in reality and capture the feel of the detective world Hobbes inhabits.
Soon he begins receiving late-night hang-up phone calls, just like Reese used to do to him. Then a copycat killer starts working on apparently random victims, as the police can find no motives for the crime. A corpse is found in a bathtub while the killer, strangely, stayed for breakfast being in no rush to leave the apartment.  The linguist brought into the case, says that the words on the videotape of Reese, were spoken in ancient Aramaic, a language not spoken in the last two thousand years.
Through the inadvertent help of Lou, Hobbes discovers the answer to Reese's riddle is on the wall plaque for hero cops in the stationhouse, where the missing name between Lyons and Spakowsky is of a former hero policeman, who was later accused of being a serial killer and committed suicide. Hobbes researches the cop's name on an internet search engine and then contacts his daughter, Gretta Milano (Embeth Davidtz), to ask her why her father went to his country house to commit suicide. When Hobbes visits the country house, he finds books on the occult and the word Azazel written on the dusty wall.
Ms. Milano, who conveniently happens to be a professor of theology, tells Hobbes, "If you value your life, if there's even one human being you care about, walk away from this case." But it is too late for the detective, as his fingerprints are found in two serial murders uncovered and he is being falsely accused of these crimes just like her father was.
By this time, the story lost its base of reality. The evil spirit that couldn't die moves from person to person, and there is a chase scene in a crowd where the possessed pursuer could be anyone, which was exciting to watch, but added little to the meaning of the story.
Denzel's noir-like voiceover seemed artificial, an imitation of how a real noir film operates. He was also not convincing as a noir protagonist, he seemed more like a cop who was in a horror movie but might have been better off being in a straight movie about a cop being framed by corrupt cops. The premise of the occult tale was too silly to take seriously. But the film plodded on, getting more ridiculous by the minute, until it ended on a note of surprise, in the twisted manner one expected a film like this to end on.

Detailed Description
This type enables developers to render bar graphs in 3D with Qt Quick 2.
You will need to import data visualization module to use this type:
import QtDataVisualization 1.2
After that you can use Bars3D in your qml files:
import QtQuick 2.0 import QtDataVisualization 1.2 Item { width: 640 height: 480 Bars3D { width: parent.width height: parent.height Bar3DSeries { itemLabelFormat: "@colLabel, @rowLabel: @valueLabel" ItemModelBarDataProxy { itemModel: dataModel // Mapping model roles to bar series rows, columns, and values. rowRole: "year" columnRole: "city" valueRole: "expenses" } } } ListModel { id: dataModel ListElement{ year: "2012"; city: "Oulu"; expenses: "4200"; } ListElement{ year: "2012"; city: "Rauma"; expenses: "2100"; } ListElement{ year: "2012"; city: "Helsinki"; expenses: "7040"; } ListElement{ year: "2012"; city: "Tampere"; expenses: "4330"; } ListElement{ year: "2013"; city: "Oulu"; expenses: "3960"; } ListElement{ year: "2013"; city: "Rauma"; expenses: "1990"; } ListElement{ year: "2013"; city: "Helsinki"; expenses: "7230"; } ListElement{ year: "2013"; city: "Tampere"; expenses: "4650"; } } }
See Qt Quick 2 Bars Example for more thorough usage example.
See also Bar3DSeries, ItemModelBarDataProxy, Scatter3D, Surface3D, and Qt Data Visualization C++ Classes.
Property Documentation
Bar spacing in X and Z dimensions.
Preset to (1.0, 1.0)
by default. Spacing is affected by the barSpacingRelative property.
Whether spacing is absolute or relative to bar thickness.
If true
, the value of 0.0
means that the bars are placed side-to-side, 1.0
means that a space as wide as the thickness of one bar is left between the bars, and so on. Preset to true
.
The bar thickness ratio between the X and Z dimensions. The value 1.0
means that the bars are as wide as they are deep, whereas 0.5
makes them twice as deep as they are wide.
columnAxis : CategoryAxis3D |
The active column axis.
If an axis is not given, a temporary default axis with no labels is created. This temporary axis is destroyed if another axis is explicitly set to the same orientation.
The floor level for the bar graph in Y-axis data coordinates.
The actual floor level will be restricted by the Y-axis minimum and maximum values. Defaults to zero.
Defines whether bars are to be scaled with proportions set to a single series bar even if there are multiple series displayed. If set to true
, bar spacing will be correctly applied only to the X-axis. Preset to false
by default.
primarySeries : Bar3DSeries |
The primary series of the graph. It is used to determine the row and column axis labels when the labels are not explicitly set to the axes.
If the specified series is not yet added to the graph, setting it as the primary series will also implicitly add it to the graph.
If the primary series itself is removed from the graph, this property resets to default.
If the series is null, this property resets to default. Defaults to the first added series or zero if no series are added to the graph.
rowAxis : CategoryAxis3D |
The active row axis.
If an axis is not given, a temporary default axis with no labels is created. This temporary axis is destroyed if another axis is explicitly set to the same orientation.
selectedSeries : Bar3DSeries |
The selected series or null
. If selectionMode has the SelectionMultiSeries
flag set, this property holds the series that owns the selected bar.
[default] seriesList : list<Bar3DSeries> |
The series of the graph. By default, this property contains an empty list. To set the series, either use the addSeries() function or define them as children of the graph.
valueAxis : ValueAxis3D |
The active value axis.
If an axis is not given, a temporary default axis with no labels and an automatically adjusting range is created. This temporary axis is destroyed if another axis is explicitly set to the same orientation.
Method Documentation
void addSeries(Bar3DSeries series) |
Adds the series to the graph. A graph can contain multiple series, but only one set of axes, so the rows and columns of all series must match for the visualized data to be meaningful. If the graph has multiple visible series, only the first one added will generate the row or column labels on the axes in cases where the labels are not explicitly set to the axes. If the newly added series has specified a selected bar, it will be highlighted and any existing selection will be cleared. Only one added series can have an active selection.
void insertSeries(int index, Bar3DSeries series) |
Inserts the series into the position index in the series list. If the series has already been added to the list, it is moved to the new index.
Note: When moving a series to a new index that is after its old index, the new position in list is calculated as if the series was still in its old index, so the final index is actually the index decremented by one.
void removeSeries(Bar3DSeries series) |
Remove the series from the graph.

The calculator tool can be used to perform spread-sheet type calculations on columns in a FITS table. The expression is evaluated on each row of the table and the result is written either to an existing column in the table (overwriting the previous values), or to a new column. If "Apply only to selected rows" is checked, then the calculation will only be applied to the selected rows that have the row number (in the first column) highlighted.
The entry field on the left hand side of the "=" sign is used to specify the name of the column to which the results will be written. Click on the the 'down arrow' icon to bring up a selection menu with a list of all the existing columns in the table. Otherwise, a new column name may be entered, in which case a new column with that name will be created when the calculation is performed.
Normally, when creating a new column, the column's data type will be the same as that of the expression. That is, an integer expression will create a 4-byte integer column (TFORM = 1J) and a real expression will create an 8-byte double column (TFORM = 1D). This can be overridden by placing the desired TFORM value within parentheses after the column's name. For example, specifying a column name NewCol(1E) will create a new column named 'NewCol' with a TFORM of '1E'. (The numerical value is optional and will be filled in with the vector size of the expression.) The expression's results will thus be converted to a 4-byte real when written to the column, even though the result could be of type integer or double.
The entry field on the right hand side of the "=" sign is for entering the expression for calculation. You can either type in the expression or use the buttons. To use a column in the calculation, one just inserts the column's name. Below are some sample expressions.
NEWCOL = 100.0 + TIME
RATE = 2.0 * RATE
NEWCOL = 0.0
NEWCOL = (COLUMN1 > 3.0) ? expr1 : expr2
The result of the above expression is expr1 if values in COLUMN1 is greater than 3.0, otherwise, expr2.
NEWCOL = COUNTS[1] + COUNTS[3]
which will create a new scalar column equal to the sum of the 1st and 3rd elements of the COUNTS vector column.
Dec = (deg_sign != "-") * (degree + minute/60.) - (deg_sign == "-") * (degree + minute/60.)
In effect, the conditional expressions evaluate to 1 if true and 0 if false when multiplied by a numerical value.
NEWCOL = ASCIICOL
NEWCOL = TIME
Illegal operations such as divide by zero will result in a Null value.To access a table entry in a row other than the current one, follow the column's name with a row offset within curly braces. For example, 'PHA{-3}' will evaluate to the value of column PHA, 3 rows above the row currently being processed. One cannot specify an absolute row number, only a relative offset. Rows that fall outside the table will be treated as undefined, or NULLs.
If a calculation involves a column with Nulls or NaNs for certain rows, then these rows in the result column will be Nulls. An exception is if the Null is encountered within an && or || construction whose value is determined by the nonNull value. For example, "TRUE || NULL" evaluates to TRUE. The calculator has several special functions which can be used to test for Null values in columns.
All the column names are listed as buttons. Clicking on any of them will insert (replacing any selected text) the column name in the formula window. If the number of columns is greater than 24, the "Up" and "Down" buttons can be used to scroll through the column name list.

Provides the necessary classes, concrete and abstract, to build the item window in the authoring environment -
the item window allows users to select which sprites (player, enemey, background, etc) will be included in the game.
These classes are: AbstractItemTab, BackgrounImagesTab, EnemySpritesTab, ItemWindow, ItemWindowData, PlayerSpritesTab
AbstractItemTab is the abstract class that BackgroundImagesTab, EnemySpritesTab, and PlayerSpritesTab all extend.
AuthoringMenubarCreator is the essential class that creates each object that appears on the menu, assigns them their own
functionality, and adds them to the window. A string for the menu option, and strings that fill menu options are necessary
so that menu objects can be properly created.

Coding Challenges
Contents
Coding Challenges#
Hash Me Please#
In this challenge, you are presented with a “message” on a web page that you need to encode using sha512
and post to a URL within 2 seconds. Obviously, the primary task (encoding using sha512
) isn’t hard, but doing it within 2 seconds is designed to require that you write some code/script the operation rather than trying to copy/paste it into some online tool, generate the hash, and then post.
I spent some time writing up a little python script that I hope will serve me well over a handful of challenges. Essentially, it does the following:
requests the challenge page (https://ringzer0ctf.com/challenges/13)
parses the results and extracts the message text
encodes the text using sha512
issues a
get
request tohttps://ringzer0ctf.com/challenges/13/<generated_hash>
parse the results of that
get()
and extracts the flag
I then manually submit the flag and collect my points.
Note
I assumed I needed to do this all while logged in, so I first browsed to the site using FireFox with the developer tools enabled. I collected the PHPSESSID
cookie and sent it along with all of my get()
requests.
Hash Me Reloaded#
I initially thought that this challenge was simply a longer variant of Hash me Please designed to ensure that you couldn’t do it manually. However, that wasn’t the case. Further, I take a little issue with the instructions, because following them is not sufficient. Besides hashing the message, you need to first figure out (e.g. guess) that you need to convert the binary-string-looking message into ascii characters and then calculate the hash. Once you do that, the solution is very similar to the prior variant.
My solution for this challenge was to modify the script I created for Hash Me Please alter it as follows:
Once the message had been extracted and stripped (no extraneous whitespace chars), split the string into blocks of 8 digits
convert each digit into an int
map that each int to the ASCII table (
chr()
in python)assemble the resulting characters into a string
calculate and submit the hash of the resulting string
I then manually submit the flag and collect my points.
I Hate Mathematics#
This problem is fairly straight-forward, especially if you have your script developed for grabbing messages from the server and posting your answers.
The math problem is presented in a consistent format and looks something like the following:
292 + 0x2408 -<PHONE_NUMBER>011 = ?
Where you have a decimal value plus a hex value and then subtract a binary. All you need to do is split the string into its compoent parts, convert the three “numbers” into ints using the proper base (10, 16, 2), perform the math, and submit the answer. This will provide you the flag value which you can then submit for points.

Recommendations
CHAH Recommendation
HISCOM is the Herbarium Information Systems Committee, the technical sub-committee of the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria.


https://www.notion.so/metaL-manifest-f7c2e3c9f4494986a620f3a71cf39cff
- no-syntax language defined over executable data structures
- there are no syntax parser and source code files
- any composite data structure can be Active by using EDS-interpreter which executes it programmatically
- the most universal data structure is the object graph of frames
- frame concept is taken from Marvin Minsky's frames [minsky] extended with ordered storage
- any Object must have these fields:
class:type
tag holds the type of any object in runtime (low-cased class name)
- host languages with RTTI/reflection are able to hold references to class as is
- low-level host languages such as C++ should reference to static class name string
scalar:value
single scalar value: object name, string, number,.. (in host-language type)
dict:slot{}
associative array of names which were bound to subgraphs
vector:nest[]
ordered storage for nested subgraphs
set:par||
parent elements (required for attribute grammar attributes computation and parent nodes addressing from children nodes)
ref ~ len(par)
reference counter not used directly, as par
registry takes its role and must be recounted to check is the current object used anywhere
int32:gid
unique global storage id — fast 32-bit xxhash over object contents
- metaL looks very intently to the UnisonWeb concept about immutable global storage which holds shared objects by its content hashes
- optional behavior-specific fields
- any graph combined from the Object-inherited nodes has unified interfaces for its building and manipulations
- the main method of programming is the generative metaprogramming
- the metaL method is the sandwich of three languages:
- host language in which most work is going and other language layers implemented /Python/
- the [metaL]ayer implemented by executable data structures interpretation (homoiconic object graph)
- target languages: all projects use not less than 3..5 programming and scripting languages, and config file formats
- frame graph is an universal unified data structure for arbitrary knowledge representation
- source code in any languages in a form analogous to AST and attribute grammar trees (extended to cyclic attributed no-syntax graphs)
- generic program representation and procedures for graph transformations
- domain and source code models (Model-Driven Engineering)
- any application-specific data
- programmer writes target application model by combining software model elements
- every graph node class knows how to compiler itself into source code in target languages, or into other graph node types which able to do it in turn
- all models are shared between projects which programmers do over time, so
- projects and its dedicated components can be classified and inherited
- the programmer builds his own version of the metaL system from scratch
- all required knowledge to write minimal reference implementation should be described in a manual step by step
- first steps are easy enough to make your custom language system usable without familiarity with classical books such as [SICP], [PLAI], [TAPL], and [dragon]
- the desire of using more effective programming methods stimulates you in learning more complex concepts from classical & modern CS.
- the programming process is free in the selection of programming paradigms, methods, and approaches – anything that some programmer is able to implement at a metaLevel, can be used with the condition of personal understanding of how it works
- resulting target code can be distributed to the working group as is, without forcing anybody to dive into senior-level concepts, cryptic language, and disclosure of programming methods were used
- metaL can be used as a secret weapon and personal know-how without inflicting risks on the employer and working team
- the more effective development tool suggests you investigate into leveling-up your skills and makes you more valuable to the labor market
- your programming knowledge and skills are represented in a computer form thus it is machine-readable, executable, and transformable
- metaL can be treated as a CASE system without braindead GUI, but it is some sort of language-based self-bootstrapping RAD

The Background
Most browsers implement a Same-Origin policy (SOP). This means that resources from one origin can not be shared with a different origin (basically, different port number, URL, Domain name, subdomain, etc.). All major browsers do this. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, IE, Safari, etc. They all also have a way to bypass this restriction, a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing request (CORS). Basically, one website sends it's origin (domain) to another, and asks if it has permission to send requests cross-origin. This is done using an OPTIONS request. If the response has adequate headers for that domain, the browser will allow that domain to send near about any request to the other domain.
The Fun Part
I have found an issue with the above scenario while using IE11 (all versions from at least 11.0.9600.17801 through the current version, 11.0.9600.18059.) If a website has a NULL origin, IE11 does not first send the CORS Preflight OPTIONS request. It will instead just send the Cross Origin request (assuming the user has pressed "allow blocked content")
In a given scenario, a website wants to send a request with content-type: application/json.
In Chrome, the first site will first ask permission (as Chrome enforces), by sending an OPTIONS request. The receiving site denies permissions, and Chrome will not send the Cross-Origin request. The same thing happens in IE11, unless the site has a NULL origin. In Chrome, a NULL origin site still has to send a preflight request and obtain permission. In IE, if the Origin is NULL, IE will disregard the CORS policies, and send the full request regardless.
The Specification
According to W3C, Cross-Origin Resource Sharing recommendation, IF the Origin header is set, the Pre-Flight must be sent for these requests, however when the Origin is null, IE11 does not set the header at all. Per the recommendation: If the Origin header is not present terminate this set of steps. The request is outside the scope of this specification.
So IE is not outside of the specification, in that the header is not being set (although the Origin is null, no Origin header is set.)
So we go to RFC 6454 to see when an origin header should be set. Per section 7.3, User Agent Requirements: The user agent MAY include an Origin field in any HTTP request.
So IE11 is not technically out of specification with RFC6464. The spec is broad, in that an Origin header is never required. All other modern browsers I have tested seem to set a NULL header (also within specification.) So why does IE not do so?
Now the question, how do we get a NULL origin? This is not really simple, in fact if an attacker wanted to abuse this flaw, they would have to get you to execute HTML from your local disk. If IE opens a web page from a local file, that "origin" is set to NULL. In this case, any Cross Origin requests would be sent without asking the other site for permission.
Thoughts
Now this attack vector is pretty small, and basically falls under the "Don't run anything on your machine that you do not trust" adage. I have reported this to Microsoft, and given the small attack vector, they do not feel it is an issue. Given that if an attacker can convince you to run something on your system, they will more likely have you run malicious code, rather than HTML to perform an XSS or CSRF attack.
Although I personally agree the attack vector is very small, if any flaw were found in the future to allow you to set your origin to NULL, this could be abused (if you could set your origin in general, CORS would be bypassed anyway).
If you know of any way to set your origin to NULL in IE, please let me know. I would love to test this further.

Events
For Fall 2019, Angela Li is running an Introduction to Spatial Data Science in R workshop that runs concurrently with the Introduction to Spatial Data Science course taught by Luc Anselin and Marynia Kolak in the College. The workshop runs from noon-1pm on Tuesday at Searle 240A. These workshops are open to the university community, as well as outsiders (please email Angela at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>for more information).
Workshop notes and scripts are posted online after each workshop, and serve as a record of what was covered at each workshop. These notes can also be used for self-study. Workshop schedules can also be found online.
Workshops are run at a beginner level, but previous experience with R is encouraged. Please join the CSDS mailing list for weekly updates regarding the workshop.
