Yeah I can't wait for that resource editor.
On another note karl what would you say the polygon limit for a character model should be?

probably about 5000 polys

ok maybe limit wasn't a good word, how many polys should a good model be
(unless you took my limit as good like I meant it and it's still 5000

"good" is very subjective; the best texture artists can make 250 poly models look incredible, and bad modelers can use 150000 polys, smoothing, normal, bump and texture maps with per-pixel lighting and still end up with a heaping pile of poo. But a "good" quality character model for this game should likely be around 2000-3000 polys.

ok that gives me some leeway with the models that I'm making
I was thinking more of the 500-800 or so that xenimus models have.
But yeah you're right about good being subjective
Maybe I should have phrased it as what would be a good range of poly for a character.
2000-3000 will be good though, so I'll get started once again.

Maybe like half-giants instead of giants for dregs?
And we could always make up a back-story for the lizard class if we need to, like the Argonians in the Elder Scrolls series.

Dregs:
Dregs are humans with ogre blood in them, not orcs or giants.
The best model for a dreg would be the oldschool ogre model (one simmillar of course)
As for their name, if you can't use Dreg, how about
"Half-Ogre" or "Ogre-crossed Human" I like Ogre-crossed Human. It leaves open possibilites for other races. "Orc-crossed human" "Wolf-crossed human"
Behoks:
Behoks are a servant race created by Oreseth. They can have any model possible, as it seems, Ej just got lazy and didn't give them their own model. They could be rat-men for all we know, but that race is very alterable.
Well, I think you guys probably covered the other races, but that's my thoughts on those two. It's important to remember that Dregs are half ogres, not half giants.

i know i made the sugguestion before.
xantusian for Scally
Nomad for Dreg.
Karl liked them, only one person spoke up about xantusian because he didnt like how it was said...
so yeah we do still need a name for Behock.
its not that important that Dregs (Nomads) are half-oger as they are in Xenimus. we are using Xenimus as a template for better game. we are not copying xen, only trying to copy the feeling of old xen.

Ogre blood in dregs is a major part of the feel of Xen.
I refuse to be a fighter without at least 5% ogre blood in me. It's unheard of.

Ember Munich Meetup 7.02.17
CoffeeCup Case Study
Ember updates are your friend
- The time entry list has a lot of dynamic behaviour, with drag and drop and resizing. The logic used to be all together in the controller and there were a lot of small optimisations to keep everything running well.
- We refactored all the logic out into individual components. The logic was a lot cleaner, but the performance was worse.
- We spent a lot of time analysing the render behaviour and try and figure out how we could optimise it. The problem was that every time we saved an individual model, it caused the whole page to be rerendered. This also caused issues with some jQuery components that were doing direct DOM manipulation.
- The solution was...to update Ember. We were on Ember 1.12 at the time and updating to 1.13 got us Glimmer.
- It made a huge difference and it is now faster than it was before the refactor.
- Consider planning in times for updates regularly, even if you're just sticking with the LTS releases.
Ember Deprecations
- Ember 1.13 brought with it a whole lot of new deprecation messages.
- Make sure you read the blog, google deprecation messages.
- Deprecation messages can also be caused by dependencies, so keep that in mind when you're looking for what is causing the message.
- Searching may lead you to the issue on Github where someone has reported the warning.
- The solution may involve updating a dependency.
Responsive vs. Mobile Optimisation
- Responsiveness is part of optimising for mobile, but it is not everything.
- Responsiveness is important for ensuring that your site works well at any resolution, but there are fundamental differences between touch and mouse-based devices.
- There is no fool-proof way to detect touch-only devices. Please tell me I'm wrong. The unsatisfactory solution that we chose was parsing User-Agents.
- Generally you should be careful about any specific changes you make, it'll add to potential bugs and testing burden. Best choice is always to avoid inconsistencies, while still providing a good user experience.
Things to look out for
- No hover events.
- Hide language regarding keyboard interation or information about keyboard shortcuts.
- Don't forget momentum scrolling. Just feels wrong if its not there.
When to load your data?
- Ember offers really good handling of promises, integrating with Ember Data to asynchronously load data. But I think we've all seen applications that show spinner after spinner as you go deeper into application.
- For some applications, I think particularly if users are going to visit various routes directly, then it makes a lot of sense to be flexible.
- CoffeeCup is an application that most users seem to open and leave open throughout the work day. So we wanted to keep the loading process simple, as well as avoiding some of the transitional states. The solution is simple, load everything in the application route and use peek throughout the other routes to access the data.
WebSockets
- Any web application that provides value for users and that they are going to use a lot and leave open throughout the day is going to have to think about when data gets refreshed. That's why we chose to use a WebSocket for our core API. WebSockets also provide a lot of value if you have multiple clients. A user isn't necessarily going to understand why they don't immediately see the updates they made in another client.
- Ember Data works really well with WebSockets, because if you work with the Array returned by the Ember Data Store then you generally get automatically updated as new data is pushed into the store from the socket.
- The exception to this rule is if you have a query. In the case of the time entries list here, we are only showing entries for a specific week and a specific user. Ember Data doesn't automatically update these results as new data comes from the WebSocket. This means if a new time entry is added or removed, the array won't be updated.
- The solution for this is to listen to the events from Socket directly, and then manually update the data. Ember Data still handles updates to individual objects, so you just need to worry about creation and deletion.
Depending on Dependencies
- In the case of CoffeeCup the server is based on node, using the library Sails. Sails has a builtin WebSocket interface and can handle the events.
- Sails uses a non-standard format for the WebSocket messages. However, there is an ember addon that handles the messages and adds everything to Ember Data. The only problem is that the addon isn't maintained anymore. This isn't the end of the world because the dependency isn't so big, but it has been one of the roadblocks that's kept us from updating to Ember 2.0+.
- Something to consider regarding any dependency is:
- Could you write it yourself? I think this is mostly relevant to really small pieces of code. See left-pad.
- Is it well maintained? (e.g. How many outstanding issues are there? When were the last commits?)
- Are there any alternatives? If someone stops maintaining it, could I migrate to something else?
- Are you willing to maintain it?
Mutability in an API / Analytics
- Having a dynamic API that always keeps data up to date is not the solution to everything.
- In some cases you want an API that is immutable.
- In our case, we have a separate REST API for analytics. This is because it would be both difficult to implement, but also unecessary. It would actually be confusing to a user if the statistics they're looking at continue to update in real time.
- A case of different tools for different situations.
Localisation
- MomentJS/NumeralJS
- Never hardcode strings. You will forget!
- Use helpers and services
- Services are easily accessible anywhere in your Ember application, and can make it very easy to centralise localisation logic.
- Helpers are great because they can make these services easily accessible in your templates.
Localisations for consistency
- If your application supports multiple localisations, it can be difficult to keep them up to date. Most importantly, they can be difficult to maintain, because as your application evolves and changes, you'll want to remove unused strings. Writing a simple test to continuously parse, and throw errors about inconsistensies can be a way to manage this, and is something that we've found quite effective. Effectively a PR can't be merged until the localisations are in sync. However, we only support German and English, so if you support many languages, and the localisations are done mostly by an external agency, I think using one language as the 'master' you could use a script to create a diff of the localisation based on a previous commit, and only send new or changed localisations to the agency.
Testing
jQuery callbacks
- Using jQuery plugins can be a really quick way of integrating complicated additional functionality. In CoffeeCup we use a number of plugins such as the jQuery UI resizable and sortable plugins. Something to keep in mind is that these additions can cause issues with testing.
- When running an acceptance test, the test runner doesn't automatically start run loops, which happens in production. This means that if jQuery triggers an update to an Ember model out of turn, an error will be thrown during the test. The solution to this is to simply wrap updates in an Ember.run call which triggers a loop.
- Another point regarding jQuery plugins is you need to make sure you remove your event listeners when the containing component gets destroyed. Ember test actions run much faster than a normal person would normally click, so its a great way to discover race conditions and edge cases in your UI.
When to write your tests?
- NOW!
- Building acceptance tests from the beginning changes the way you think about how data is encapsulated in your application. In the case of CoffeeCup we didn't have tests until after the product was relatively mature. This made building in reliable tests more difficult after the fact. Also, strange behaviour in the tests are harder to distinguish between a problem in the app or just some strange behaviour of Ember.
- Tests make it easier for new members to come into the team. New team members often don't understand all of the requirements, features and history behind a complex application. Having tests lets them make changes and get feedback when things shouldn't be changed.


This class represents an abstraction of the WebXR Device API and is internally used by [page:WebGLRenderer]. [name] also provides a public interface that allows users to enable/disable XR and perform XR related tasks like for instance retrieving controllers.
Whether the manager's XR camera should be automatically updated or not. Default is `true`.
This flag notifies the renderer to be ready for XR rendering. Default is `false`. Set it to `true` if you are going to use XR in your app.
Whether XR presentation is active or not. Default is `false`. This flag is read-only and automatically set by [name].
Returns an instance of [page:ArrayCamera] which represents the XR camera of the active XR session. For each view it holds a separate camera object in its [page:ArrayCamera.cameras cameras] property.
The camera's `fov` is currently not used and does not reflect the fov of the XR camera. If you need the fov on app level, you have to compute in manually from the XR camera's projection matrices.
[page:Integer index] — The index of the controller.
Returns a [page:Group] representing the so called *target ray* space of
the XR controller. Use this space for visualizing 3D objects that support
the user in pointing tasks like UI interaction.
[page:Integer index] — The index of the controller.
Returns a [page:Group] representing the so called `grip` space of the XR
controller. Use this space if the user is going to hold other 3D objects
like a lightsaber.
Note: If you want to show something in the user's hand AND offer a pointing ray at the same time, you'll want to attached the handheld object to the group returned by [page:.getControllerGrip]() and the ray to the group returned by [page:.getController](). The idea is to have two different groups in two different coordinate spaces for the same WebXR controller.
Returns the amount of foveation used by the XR compositor for the projection layer.
[page:Integer index] — The index of the controller.
Returns a [page:Group] representing the so called `hand` or `joint` space
of the XR controller. Use this space for visualizing the user's hands when
no physical controllers are used.
Returns the reference space.
Returns the `XRSession` object which allows a more fine-grained management of active WebXR sessions on application level.
[page:Float foveation] — The foveation to set.
Specifies the amount of foveation used by the XR compositor for the layer.
Must be a value between `0` and `1`.
[page:Float framebufferScaleFactor] — The framebuffer scale factor to
set.
Specifies the scaling factor to use when determining the size of the
framebuffer when rendering to a XR device. The value is relative to the
default XR device display resolution. Default is `1`. A value of `0.5`
would specify a framebuffer with 50% of the display's native resolution.
Note: It is not possible to change the framebuffer scale factor while presenting XR content.
[page:XRReferenceSpace referenceSpace] — A custom reference space.
Can be used to configure a custom reference space which overwrites the
default reference space.
[page:String referenceSpaceType] — The reference space type to set.
Can be used to configure a spatial relationship with the user's physical
environment. Depending on how the user moves in 3D space, setting an
appropriate reference space can improve tracking. Default is
`local-floor`. Please check out the
[link:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XRReferenceSpaceType MDN]
for possible values and their use cases.
Updates the state of the XR camera. Use this method on app level if you set [page:.cameraAutoUpdate] to `false`. The method requires the non-XR camera of the scene as a parameter. The passed in camera's transformation is automatically adjusted to the position of the XR camera when calling this method.
Note: It is not possible to change the reference space type while presenting XR content.

1972 Ford Thunderbird: Original 36,232 mile car. Arizona and Texas car with no rust. Built April 13th of 1972. This Thunderbird was optioned very nicely with the Largest motor available for this model which was the 460. Originally purchased by a doctor in El Paso (Casa Ford). He later moved to AZ where the vehicle was sold to an older lady. When she passed away we purchased the vehicle from her estate. The last service records we have were done in 2004, and since then less than 2,000 miles have been put on the car. I describe the condition of this car is equal to what a 5 year old low mileage car might look like.
Body: Paint appears to be original from all that we can tell. The paint has a deep luster. The trim is complete, and has a great shine. The landau top is in excellent shape. No evidenceof the normal rust associated with a soft top. This car does have the optional side marker lights.
Interior: Dash is crack free, All of the rubber is still soft, Seats, and vinyl panels are in excellent shape. Very nice condition with some small exceptions noted below. Power seat, and power windows work.
Engine Drive Train: All appear original, and are complete in very good condition.
Chassis: Clean as a 5 year old car. Still displaying the original chalk, and grease pencil marking applied at the factory. The body pan shows the original oxide primer and light undercoating. slight surface rust on the drive shaft which were shipped bare metal.
Trunk: Original carpet and tire cover are in good condition. Tire and jack are present.
 In fact it ran perfectly. The brakes work great. The steering is effortless. The A/C blows blows cold. Lights all work including the turn signal cancelers. As listed below, the radio does not work. The power seats, and windows work. This is a delightful car to drive and it gets a great deal of attention.
Only few small issues known:
Radio does not work. It turns on but just makes static
Pass side wheel trim has a few dings in it.
Drivers seat is missing on button on the back of it, but we still have this piece.
Please call me at<PHONE_NUMBER> to discuss a price. I am happy to sell outside the auction. We are also happy to have the car available for inspection. We have a lift if youwould like to inspect the chassis. Thank you for taking a look.


This is the beginning.

Influential Nodes
Detection of influential nodes in a graph.
Supervisors: Prof. R. Saxena, Prof. Sivaprasad Kumar
Problem Statement
All social networks are modelled as graphs. Each user is represented by a node and an edge exists between two nodes if there exists a relation between the users. In case of a social network graph, we can think of the relation being if the two users are friends with each other. On analysis of the graph, we can determine the most influential nodes in the given graph. The process of influential users can be used for targeted advertising, spreading awareness, for lesser degrees of separation etc. Influential users are those users which have a large number of edges incident on them. In the social network graph, communities (those set of users which are highly interconnected) are connected through these influential users.
Extended Neighbourhood Centrality Algorithm (ENC)
I propose a new centrality measure that encodes the centrality of a node and its neighborhood. I consider that the importance of a node depends not only on its direct neighbors (1-step neighbors), but also on its 2-step and even more steps of neighbors. A 2-step neighbor of a node is a direct neighbor of 1-step neighbor. Similarly, a n-step neighbor is a direct neighbor of (n-1)-step neighbor. The more steps, the larger range of neighborhood is taken into consideration. Based on these assumptions, I define the neighborhood centrality of node i encoding the centrality of i as the sum of coreness of its n-step neighbors.
Results
Results were comparable and better in some cases to Pagerank, Degree centrality and k-core centrality algorithms.


Virtual Lab
Allowing students to apply the concepts they have learned in the classroom to a clinical setting without the need for an actual patient.
Introduction
- Project Leader:
- Robert Pope
- Team Members:
- Robert Schwieterman
- Michael Goldman
- John Laswell
- Project Partner:
- Dr. Joshua Alexander, Ph.D.
CCC-A, Assistant Professor - Dept. of Speech, Language, & Hearing Sciences
- Dr. Joshua Alexander, Ph.D.
Project History
The Virtual Project has been worked on close to a decade now with the first completed version being delivered in the Fall 2010 semester.
The base criteria were first determined by Dr. Novak. The criteria for this semester was developed by our team in coordination with Dr. Lata Krishnan and Dr. Alexander. The implementation and discussion of these overarching criteria will be discussed in the design section.
Project Purpose
Virtual Lab was built to provide students in the field of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences the ability to practice diagnostic testing, such as masking, with virtual patients.
Recently filled the role of a tool used by graduate students to practice concepts specific to masking. This allowed the students to simulate specific patient case histories, without requiring actual patients.
Semester Goals
The goal for this group is to improve upon the delivered version of the program by updating the graphical user interface (GUI) of the program and fixing some bugs in the code along the way.
- Currently uses floating windows to display modules and information
- Windows cannot be resized or hidden, workspace becomes cluttered
- Floating windows will be replaced with fixed panels
- Currently all windows are present on one workspace
- Workspace becomes cluttered, not all windows needed at the same time
- A two tab system will be implemented, each with only the useful panels
Testing Panel
Diagnostics Panel
Two Tab Approach
After seeing one of the audiology professors use the program, there was a clear separation from when she was testing to when she was diagnosing. We also noticed which particular parts of the application she was using at each stage. In order to reduce clutter of windows on the screen, we decided to make a tab for each stage with only the necessary items on the screen at any point in time.
Panel Approach
In order to keep all portions of the program locked within their position on their specific tab, we chose to make all objects that were previously of the Form class into objects of the Panel class. To do this, we went through the existing code changing a few things here and there to eliminate all traces of a Form and create a Panel instead. The challenge here was having to look up what methods exist within the Panel class and compare them to methods of the Form class. Most lines could be left as they were, but some methods of the Form class do not exist within the Panel class and thus we had to find the closest thing we could use and try to replace it. Otherwise, remove that line of code all together. This was time consuming and included many error messages for calling methods that don't exist.
TableLayoutPanel Format for Tabs
We ran into issues with setting the position of the Panels within the Tabs and found out about the TableLayoutPanel which allows you to set the number of rows and columns to divide a space into as well as set the size of each. We used this in the Tabs to allow us to simply fill a section of the table with a Panel.
We were even considering using these within the Panels to help us align and re-size all the elements of the Panels. Or perhaps making the Panel itself into a TableLayoutPanel. This can be discussed next semester and worked on as soon as possible.


public interface ExpressionEngine
Definition of an interface for evaluating keys for hierarchical configurations.
An expression engine knows how to map a key for a configuration's
property to a single or a set of configuration nodes. Thus it defines the way
how properties are addressed in this configuration. Methods of a
configuration that have to handle property key (e.g.
getProperty()
or addProperty()
do not interpret
the passed in keys on their own, but delegate this task to an associated
expression engine. This expression engine will then find out, which
configuration nodes are addressed by the key.
Separating the task of evaluating property keys from the configuration object has the advantage that many different expression languages (i.e. ways for querying or setting properties) can be supported. Just set a suitable implementation of this interface as the configuration's expression engine, and you can use the syntax provided by this implementation.

Benefits of Covid-19 Vaccine
COVID-19 vaccines were developed to target the Al-Hasakah protein before
it was mutated in these strains.
While it indicates that the vaccines for the Covid-19 virus, so,
there are More measures to be taken., more measures to be taken.
In addition, higher rates of research activity desired of virus strains.
- Prevention of COVID 19, serious illness or death from COVID 19
- Prevents you from transmitting Covid 19 virus to others
- The number of community members immunized against CovID increases 1999 - slowing the spread of the disease and contributing to collective immunity (so-called herd immunity)
- Preventing the spread and reincarnation of COVID-19, which allow it to develop a mutation that may be more resistant to vaccines.
Vaccine types
There are several vaccines for COVID-19 that are undergoing clinical trials.
The FDA will evaluate the results of these trials before approving the use of COVID-19
vaccines.
But because there is an urgent need for COVID-19 vaccines,
and because the FDA approval process can take anywhere from several months to several years,
the FDA will issue an emergency use authorization.
for COVID-19 vaccines based on less data than is usually required.
Data must show that vaccines are safe and effective before the FDA can issue an emergency use
authorization.
-
fizer-Bioentech vaccine for COVID-19.
The fizer-Bioentech vaccine is 95% effective in preventing symptoms of COVID-19 infection in people 16 years of age and older.
The vaccine is 100% effective in preventing COVID-19 in children aged 12 to 15 years.
This vaccine is for people 12 years of age and older.
It requires two injections, 21 days apart.
The second dose may be given up to six weeks after the first dose, if needed. -
Moderna Vaccine for Covid 19.
The Covid 19 vaccine produced by Moderna is 94% effective in preventing symptoms of the Covid 19 virus. This vaccine is for people 18 years of age and older, and requires two injections 28 days apart. The second dose may be given up to six weeks after the first dose, if needed. -
Johnson & Johnson vaccine for COVID-19.
In clinical trials, this vaccine was 66% effective in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 infection, 14 days after vaccination. The vaccine was also 85% effective in preventing severe COVID-19, at least 28 days after receiving the vaccine. This vaccine is for people 18 years of age and older, and requires one injection. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recommended continued use of this vaccine in the United States because the benefits outweigh the risks. If you take this vaccine, you should be educated about the potential risks and possible symptoms of a problem involving blood clotting. -
Sinopharm Vaccine Against COVID-19
The SAGE recommends the use of BIBP in two doses and WHO advises an interval of 3 to 4 weeks between the first and second doses. If the second dose is given less than 3 weeks after the first, the dose does not need to be repeated. A large, phase 3, multi-country trial showed that two doses, 21 days apart, were 79% effective against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection 14 days or more after the second dose. The effectiveness of the vaccine in avoiding the need for hospitalization was 79%. It is not recommended to give the vaccine to people under 18 years of age before the results of further studies in that age group are released -
AstraZeneca Vaccine for COVID-19
The efficacy of the vaccine is 70% (compared to more than 90% of the Pfizer-Biontech and Moderna vaccines), a percentage confirmed by the specialized magazine "The Lancet". The vaccine was licensed in more than 70 countries until mid-March, and Britain was the first country to agree to its use and order 100 million doses of it.
Indications that may appear within four hours of taking the first dose of the vaccine:
- Shortness of breath or persistent wheezing
- Swelling of the lips, eyes or tongue
- Redness, swelling or itching in areas of the body other than the side where the vaccine was injected


THE JOY LUCK CLUB A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1993 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: THE JOY LUCK CLUB is the stories of four families that have migrated from mainland China in the last generation.  The stories are often heart-wrenching and often inspirational. If this is a woman's film, it at least is miles ahead of something like BEACHES. Rating: low +3 (-4 to +4).
It is a party. Friends have gotten together in a celebration. Several families are represented. The families are Chinese-American, though through inter-marriage not all the people present are Chinese. At the center of the party, four women play Mah Jong. They are the Joy Luck Club, originally four women from different parts of China who found each other in the new country of the U. S. and have played together and talked for years. One of the original members died months ago and her daughter has replaced her. Each of the four families has a daughter who was born in this country; each has or had a mother who was born and raised in China. THE JOY LUCK CLUB is really an anthology film with four pairs of stories, each pair with the story of the mother's life in China and the story of the mother-daughter relationship in the new country. There is a beautiful symmetry in the eight stories. In each pair a single theme will run through the mother's story and the mother-daughter story. Each mother's story will show the hardship placed on women in a country bound by the ancient traditions that still live in China. They are traditions that are particularly hard on women, giving them little choice as to their fate. In the mother-daughter stories, each daughter faces, and of course overcomes, problems caused by freedom from the pre-set roles of the old country. So each pair of stories is also about the changes that go on in a family adapting to a very new way of life. It is a matrix of eight poignant stories woven into a single story. Bracketing the entire film is the story of June (played by Ming-Na Wen) who discovers early in the film that her mother did something bad in China, an act so terrible June does not understand it and one that calls on June to return to China on a mission that she is worrying about. Hanging over most of the film is the question of how June's mother Suyuan (Kieu Chinh) could have done what she did. Yet by the time the full story is revealed we have seen how different mainland Chinese culture is from our own and we will come to understand Suyuan's actions.
THE JOY LUCK CLUB is what used to be called "a woman's film." And a "crying film" at that. I will say in its defense that I liked it considerably more than my wife did. I think that the family conflicts I saw in the film are similar to conflicts I have seen in real families, but that Evelyn might have seen less of. Usually we do not see how really different life is in China even today. I will defend the "crying film" aspect much in the same way I defended the same aspect of THE COLOR PURPLE. We are looking at very real stories of human misery and the cruelty in parts of this film. If a film that shows you that does not manipulate you and perhaps bring a tear to your eye, the film is broken. Or maybe you are broken. In any case we are talking about a culture that has extreme sexism by Western standards; it has forced marriages; it has terrible poverty. At least the stories are all fairly new and unfamiliar here, which already gives it a point above the recent THE WEDDING BANQUET. One of the eight stories was in some ways reminiscent of RAISE THE RED LANTERN, but even there it had unexpected touches.
Visually the film brought back memories of China, and particularly the karst-dotted landscape near the Li River Valley and Guilin. The camera work by Amir Mokri is very beautiful when it needs to be and downbeat when that is what is called for. The film was directed by Wayne Wang from a screenplay by Any Tan (based on her novel) and Ronald Bass. The three shared production credits with Patrick Markey. THE JOY LUCK CLUB is one of several very good films that are coming out this autumn. I would rate it a low +3 on the -4 to +4 scale.

(Originally posted on the OUBS Blog)
Superior performance over time comes from a distinctive and hard to imitate competitive advantage. Opportunities emerge from a firms unique capabilities. Grant (1991, pp. 118-9) argues: While resources are the source of a firm’s capabilities, capabilities are the main source of its competitive advantage.
This resource based view moves strategy more to the level of the organisation and will help to understand ones organisation and its uniques bundles of capabilities that can or need to be grown and used/exploited. It is still unresolved whether this view complements or substitutes the market-positioning view of Porter. Both likely have more or less importance in different industries, depending on how competitive the environment is for example.
There are two methods to find resources and capabilities of a company. Ones looks at functional areas and the other uses Porter’s value cahin methodology. Then you cna find the (potential) sources of advantage, sources of improvements, linkages, costs drivers and more.
Why do organisations differ?
Different organisations cluster resources and capabilties differently and some then work more efficiently, have better access to scarce resources or a better capability to learn and build new or exisiting capabilities. Especially the last point is important because internal and external environments change. Otherwiese, sets of resources might make prisons out of existing recipies. Now please read Grant’s article on resources and capabilities.
To be remembered here is that your resources and capabilities need to fit the environment your are working in and organisations differ in their ability to secure an advantage from the resources and capabilities, which is what it is ultimately about. We now live in a world of uncertainty, complexity and conflict and exactly this also brings with it multiple opportunities.
It is also critical that the rare resources that a better performance is based on, need to remain scarce/rare for a long time. You need to try to make sure that the competitor thinks it cannot immitate what you do. The thought is what counts here. Sometimes resources need to be built up a certain way and over a long time, which is something that is hard to imitate. Heterogenity is necessary but not sufficient for a long-term sustainable advantage.
Know-How, tacit knowledge and human resources
Here the mini case on Saatchi & Saatchi is a great read. In general, the fact that a lot of knowledge is mostly embodied and internalised inside human beings means that acquireing an investment bank, financial services company or software house carries a high risk because the humans that carry a lot of the knowledge that makes the company work might leave. Accenture tries to internalise as much of the knowledge inside the company in routines and recipies as possible to be able to leverage economies of scope and to reduce the risk of loosing that knowledge. Consider team play in tennis here though. You can’t just copy a good team or take one member and put her into another team.
Resources and capabilities
By the 2nd half of the 20th century, resources have gone global and become more mobile, like technology, information, brands and financial instruments. These days, all that is needed is sufficient access to the resource. This could be developers for a european company sitting far away in India or doctors diagnosing patients hundres of miles away.
 Framework for analysis of resources and capabilities by Grant (more here)
Markets and hierarchies
Oliver Williamson (1975) argued that to choose markets (outsourcing an activity to them) or the hierarchy (doing it yourself), you need to look at the total transaction costs of what you are doing. EDS is growing tremendously by taking up facilities management and often take up the staff of the company they sign a contract with under their wings too. This is central to thinking about your own capabilities, those that you need to secure your customers and those that you can more efficiently outsource. But, you need to think about what outsourcing a function might do to your company in the future as it might drain crucial knowledge and expertise.
Economies of scope are also important here, which are derived from using a resource more than once, with little or even no extra costs. You could also call this synergy. You also need to build up routines to learn and transfer capabilities long-term. The resource based view suggests that to find a competitive advantage you need to look at the processes of capability building, capability management and capability retention. These processes as such can be a competitive advantage. Some, who have been in place for a long time might even need to be broken up to enable new processes to form (see the Novotel case here).
Also important is to not outsource things that might build tacit knowledge needed for later innovative capabilities.
Innovation
An important capability is that to innovate. This gradually moved from the entrepreneurial skills to bigger R&D labs, especially where critical mass is needed. The problem here is that R&D needs to be closely linked to the factory, market and sales, as to develop products or services that the company can build. At the same time you need to watch out that your R&D lab does not become something that only researches per order but can freely experiment and find truely new products. (I suggest reading The Innovators Dilemma by …… here.) Remember that R&D is not only about innovating from within but also about understanding innovations coming from the outside. Everything arround you changes and so does your strategy and so need your capabilities.
The boundaries
You do not need to own all your resources though. Your capabilities should stay internal though. The question then becomes where an organisation should draw the boundaries. These boundaries are often changing based on mergers, divestitures and other things.
Quasi-integration is now more popular because it allows (through contract or agreement) the same control without the need for one single company. An example is cited with Marks and Spencer and its suppliers. They almost form a virtual organisation, being dependant on each others activities. This collaboration among firms common to the virtual firm concept is getting more widely used, partly due to the increasing complexity to have all resources and even capabilities in house.
You also need to build organistaion capability to learn and transfer knowledge. This includes tranfering the long-term routines that hold organisation’s forman, informal, codified and tacit knowledge.
To understand the boundaries a value chain is essential.

--- category: 'graphics' sortorder: 80 ---
Holds the vertices and indices used when drawing primitives.
// var window = new Window(...); var vertexDataState = new VertexDataState(window.graphics);
To use the VertexDataState
, you set it on the GraphicsObject.
// var window = new Window(...); window.graphics.setVertexDataState(vertexDataState);
Before you can draw primitives with VertexDataState
, you need to describe what kind of data the vertices contains. You also need to set the actual vertex data.
The vertex declaration describes the attributes (i.e. what it contains) for the vertex data. It's an array with objects that has name
and type
properties. The vertex declaration must match the shader program used. For example, the vertex shader below has the following in-parameters:
in vec3 position; in vec2 textureCoords;
The vertex declaration for that shader should have the attributes below, the order is important when setting the vertex data. The attribute type can have any of the following values: 'float', 'vec2', 'vec3', 'vec4'.
var vertexDeclaration = [ { name: 'position', type: 'vec3' }, { name: 'textureCoords', type: 'vec2' } ]; // var shaderProgram = new ShaderProgram(...); vertexDataState.setVertexDeclaration(vertexDeclaration, shaderProgram);
Vertex data is an array with values to store in the VertexDataState
. The order of the vertex data must match the vertex declaration. When setting vertex data a hint is specified for how the data will be stored. If the data is modified very few times it should be set to 'static'. If the data is modified many times it should be set to 'dynamic'.
// Vertices data that matches the declaration above (x, y, z, u, v). var vertices = [ // Vertex 1 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, // Vertex 2 0.5, -0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, // Vertex 3 -0.5, -0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, ]; // The usage can be set to 'static' or 'dynamic'. var usage = 'dynamic'; // Sets the vertex data for the buffer. vertexDataState.setVertices(vertices, usage);
Index data can be used for drawing primitives that share vertices. It's an array with the indices for the vertices. It's not required to have index data, but it can improve performance.
// The usage can be set to 'static' or 'dynamic'. var usage = 'static'; // Setup indices to use vertices with index 0, 1, 2 and 3. vertexDataState.setIndices([0,1,2,3], usage);

XOR Encryption¶
XOR encryption is one of the basic cipher's of Cryptography. It is based on the properties of the bitwise XOR gate.
Logic Gates¶
Logic gates are the basic building blocks of any digital system. It is a mechanism to deal manipulate binary data. There are many basic Logic gates. But we will be discussing only which we need, they are
- AND gate
- OR gate
- XOR gate
AND Gate¶
The AND gate is a logic circuit which gives a high output(1) only if all the inputs are high(1). A dot(.) is used to show the AND operation i.e. A.B or sometimes AB will suffice.
OR Gate¶
The OR gate is a logic circuit which gives a high output(1) if one or more of its inputs are high. A plus(+) is used to show the OR operation.
XOR gate¶
The Exclusive-OR or most commonly known as the XOR gate is a logic circuit which will give a low output(0) if either, but not both of its inputs are high(1). The is used to represent the xor gate.
Now that we have seen what Logic Gates are and what a xor gate is, lets move on to xor of two integers.
Lets take two integers 5 and 9. Now the binary equivalent of these two numbers is 00000101 and 00001001
1 2 3 4 | 00000101 ⊕ 00001001 -------- 00001100 |
The code for doing this in python is
1 2 | >>> 5^9 12 |
The symbol ^ is used for xoring two numbers.
Now let us xor two two characters, let them be j and f. Now what happens here when you xor two characters is that, these are first converted into ascii form and then xored together, i.e. in python first we convert j and f into their respective ascii values, this can be done by the use of the ord() function
1 2 3 4 | >>> ord('r') 114 >>> ord('j') 106 |
Now these values are xored togerther and converted back into their character form. This can be done by the use of chr(). The python code for xoring two characters is
1 2 | >>> chr(ord('r') ^ ord('j')) \x18 |
Important
The most important property of xor is that , if A ⊕ B = C then, B ⊕ C = A and also, C ⊕ A = B
Now let us move the encryption part.
Single-Byte XOR Cipher¶
In this the key is going to be a single byte, i.e. the entire message is going to be xored with a single character (printable or non printable), which ranges in ascii value of 0 to 255.
To make it simpler let us take an example. Let us take a message "Hello" and xor it with the key which can be taken as "s" (Here we have used a printable character). What we do is that, we take the first character of the message i.e. H and xor it with the single-byte key i.e. s , the resultant will become the first character of the ciphertext, now take the second character message e and xor it with the key s the resultant second character of the ciphertext and so it goes on.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | H e l l o 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 ⊕ 01110011 01110011 01110011 01110011 01110011 s s s s s ------------------------------------------------ 00111011 00010110 00011111 00011111 00011100 ; \x16 \x1f \x1f \x1c |
Now we have the ciphertext. Now to get the message back repeat the same process with the ciphertext
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | ; \x16 \x1f \x1f \x1c 00111011 00010110 00011111 00011111 00011100 ⊕ 01110011 01110011 01110011 01110011 01110011 s s s s s ------------------------------------------------ 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 H e l l o |
Usually you are not given the key, but you can easily decrypt the ciphertext. You could just try Bruteforcing it, what it means is that you could try all the possible keys. Since it is a single byte, it is easy beacuse the the total possibilities is 256 characters.
Repeated-Key XOR Cipher¶
In this, unlike Single-Byte Xor Cipher the key is made up of multiple bytes. Let us take an example to understand this, the message we are going to encrypt is Document with the key abc. The procedure is simple, first you xor the first character of the message, D with the first character of the key a, now the second character of the message o is xored with the second character of the key b, and the third character of the message c with the third character of the key c. Now that we are out of key characters, what should we do next? The answer is that we start over, the fourth character of the message is xored with the first character and so on, until the whole message is encrypted.

The goal of voronoise is to make pretty pictures. It is a very minor tweak on the voronoi tesselations provided by the ggforce
package. You can install the development version of voronoise from GitHub with:
remotes::install_github("djnavarro/voronoise")
Create a tibble with columns specifying the x and y coordinates, and the colours to be associated with the corresponding Voronoi cell
library(voronoise) #> Loading required package: ggplot2 #> Loading required package: ggforce set.seed(1) dat <- tibble::tibble( x = runif(n = 50, min = .1, max = .9), y = runif(n = 50, min = .1, max = .9), shade = sample(colours(), size = 50, replace = TRUE) ) dat #> # A tibble: 50 x 3 #> x y shade #> <dbl> <dbl> <chr> #> 1 0.312 0.482 tan #> 2 0.398 0.789 grey43 #> 3 0.558 0.450 plum4 #> 4 0.827 0.296 rosybrown #> 5 0.261 0.157 grey26 #> 6 0.819 0.180 springgreen4 #> 7 0.856 0.353 gold3 #> 8 0.629 0.515 grey68 #> 9 0.603 0.630 navajowhite2 #> 10 0.149 0.425 tomato #> # … with 40 more rows
The voronoise_base()
function initialises a ggplot object
voronoise_base(dat)
The default behaviour of geom_voronoise()
is identical to ggforce::geom_voronoi_tile()
with some parameter values changed. It does not perturb the location of any of the tiles:
voronoise_base(dat) + geom_voronoise(fill = "antiquewhite2")
To perturb the tiles we need to pass it a perturb
function:
voronoise_base(dat) + geom_voronoise(fill = "antiquewhite2") + geom_voronoise(perturb = perturb_uniform(.2))
Note that perturb_uniform()
returns a function. The voronoise package comes with a couple of handy functions that will create custom perturbing functions. For example:
voronoise_base(dat) + geom_voronoise(fill = "antiquewhite2") + geom_voronoise(perturb = perturb_float(-90))
An example using some more settings:
set.seed(1) voronoise_base( data = voronoise_data(100, viridis::magma(10)), background = "skyblue3" ) + geom_voronoise(fill = "skyblue2") + geom_voronoise( perturb = perturb_float( angles = c(0, 90, 180), noise = c(2, 1) ) )


Who Can Admin What?
•Did you know that Windows allows any domainauthenticated user to enumerate the members of a local group on a remote machine? - • Either through the NetLocalGroupGetMembers() Win32 API call or the WinNT service provider
PowerView:
• Get-NetLocalGroup –ComputerName IP [-API]
Who Can Admin What (GPO Edition)?
Let’s correlate what GPOs set the local administrators group with with OUs/sits these GPOs are applied to - • Lets us determine who has admin rights where based on GPO settings
- • This isn’t a super simple process…
PowerView’s Find-GPOLocation will enumerate this for a specific target or dump all relationships by default


pv
Monitor the progress of data through a pipe.
More information: home page
- Print the contents of the file and display a progress bar:
pv path/to/file
- Measure the speed and amount of data flow between pipes (`--size` is optional):
command1 | pv --size expected_amount_of_data_for_eta | command2
- Filter a file, see both progress and amount of output data:
pv -cN in big_text_file | grep pattern | pv -cN out > filtered_file
- Attach to an already running process and see its file reading progress:
pv -d PID
- Read an erroneous file, skip errors as `dd conv=sync,noerror` would:
pv -EE path/to/faulty_media > image.img
- Stop reading after reading specified amount of data, rate limit to 1K/s:
pv -L 1K --stop-at --size maximum_file_size_to_be_read

You will have to pay the costs of any enforcement action against you.
How to pay
Contact Jan Clark if you need their payment details.
{CAN WE PUT THE CLAIMANT'S CONTACT DETAILS HERE?}
Removing the judgment from the register
If you pay in full within one month, or you have already paid, you can ask the court to remove the judgment from the register. The judgment won't appear in credit agency searches, though some agencies may not update their records immediately.
If you pay in full in more than one month, you can ask the court to mark the judgment as satisfied. Any credit agency that checks the register will see you've paid the money, though some may not update their records immediately. The judgment will remain on the register for 6 years but it'll be marked as satisfied.
If you need proof that the judgment is cancelled or satisfied you can pay £15 to get a certificate (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-n443-application-for-a-certificate-of-satisfaction-or-cancellation).
If you believe you don't owe the money
You can apply to the court to set aside the judgment.
To get a judgment set aside, fill in an application notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-n244-application-notice) and send it to the court.
You may have to pay a court fee of £255. You may be apply to get help with court fees.
You'll have to go to a court hearing to explain why you don't owe the money.
If you don't go to the hearing, your application will be rejected and you’ll have to pay the amount in the judgment.
