In a series of video interviews conducted by journalist Clare English with Willie Rennie, Douglas Ross, Anas Sarwar, Lorna Slater, and Nicola Sturgeon, the Holyrood hopefuls are probed on issues raised by FSB’s membership.
The political heavyweights are asked about detailed subjects like public procurement, coronavirus grant support, economic recovery and business rates.
Andrew McRae, FSB’s Scotland policy chair, said: “As Scotland’s proud champion of local and independent firms, it was great to hear from our political leaders about their plans for getting smaller businesses back on their feet. These incisive interviews should help give those that work for themselves some more of the information they need ahead of the polls.”

During the interview, the politicians were also asked to reveal which sort of business they would like to start in a life after politics.
Douglas Ross said he’d like to supply baked goods like scones to the hospitality industry, Anas Sarwar suggested he’d like to establish an international political campaign group, and Willie Rennie said he’d like to open a corner shop or environmental charity. Bibliophile Nicola Sturgeon said she’d like to establish a bookshop, while Lorna Slater said she already had a plan to set up an aerial training venue for circus arts.

Redis Registry Server
It is a registry server implementation [^2] based on redis [^1].
Use key/map structure in redis to save the registration info:
- Main key for service name and type
- Key in the map is URL address
- Value in the map is the expiration time. Monitor center uses it to track and remove dirty data [^3]
Publish/Subscribe events in redis is leveraged for data change notification:
- Distinguish event type with event's value:
register
,unregister
,subscribe
,unsubscribe
. - Regular subscriber subscribes the particular key presenting service provider, then will receive
register
andunregister
events fired from the specified service. - Monitor center subscribes
/dubbo/*
viapsubscribe
, then will receive all change notifications from all services.
Procedure:
- When service provider boots up, it adds its address under
Key:/dubbo/com.foo.BarService/providers
. - Then service provider sends
register
event toChannel:/dubbo/com.foo.BarService/providers
- When service consumer boots up, it subscribe events
register
andunregister
fromChannel:/dubbo/com.foo.BarService/providers
- Then service consumer add its address under
Key:/dubbo/com.foo.BarService/consumers
- When service consumer receives events
register
andunregister
, it will fetch provider's addresses fromKey:/dubbo/com.foo.BarService/providers
- When monitor center boots up, it subscribes events
register
,unregister
,subscribe
, andunsubsribe
. - After monitor center receives
register
andunregister
, it fetches provider's addresses fromKey:/dubbo/com.foo.BarService/providers
- After monitor center receives
subscribe
andunsubscribe
, it fetches consumer's addresses fromKey:/dubbo/com.foo.BarService/consumers
Configuration
<dubbo:registry address="redis://<IP_ADDRESS>:6379" />
Or
<dubbo:registry address="redis://<IP_ADDRESS>:6379?backup=<IP_ADDRESS>:6379,<IP_ADDRESS>:6379" />
Or
<dubbo:registry protocol="redis" address="<IP_ADDRESS>:6379" />
Or
<dubbo:registry protocol="redis" address="<IP_ADDRESS>:6379,<IP_ADDRESS>:6379,<IP_ADDRESS>:6379" />
Options
- Config key's prefix in redis via
<dubbo:registry group="dubbo" />
, the default value isdubbo
. - Config redis cluster strategy via
<dubbo:registry cluster="replicate" />
, the default value isfailover
:failover
: when read/write error happens, try another instance, require the cluster to support data replication.replicate
: client writes to all nodes of the cluster, but only peeks a random node for read. The cluster doesn't need to take care of data replication, but may require more nodes and higher performance for each node, compared to option 1.
Declaration of Reliability
A home-brewed service registry server is used in Alibaba instead of redis server. Redis based registry center does not have long-run practice within Alibaba, therefore we cannot guarantee its reliability. This registry server implementation is provided for dubbo community, and its reliability relies on redis itself largely.
Installation
Pls. refer to redis install manual for how to install a redis based registry server. To set it up, specify dubbo.registry.address
to redis://<IP_ADDRESS>:6379
in conf/dubbo.properties
for both provider and consumer (you can refer to quick start) after install a redis server.
[^1]: Redis is a high performance KV cache server
[^2]: Support since 2.1.0
[^3]: Heartbeat mechanism is used to detect the dirty data in redis. It requires time among servers must be sync in advanced, otherwise expiration check may inaccurate, plus, heartbeats may add extra pressure on servers.

Transport¶
-
oslo_messaging.
get_transport
(conf, url=None, allowed_remote_exmods=None, aliases=None)¶ A factory method for Transport objects.
This method will construct a Transport object from transport configuration gleaned from the user’s configuration and, optionally, a transport URL.
If a transport URL is supplied as a parameter, any transport configuration contained in it takes precedence. If no transport URL is supplied, but there is a transport URL supplied in the user’s configuration then that URL will take the place of the URL parameter. In both cases, any configuration not supplied in the transport URL may be taken from individual configuration parameters in the user’s configuration.
An example transport URL might be:
rabbit://me:passwd@host:5672/virtual_host
and can either be passed as a string or a TransportURL object.
Parameters: - conf (cfg.ConfigOpts) – the user configuration
- url (str or TransportURL) – a transport URL
- allowed_remote_exmods (list) – a list of modules which a client using this transport will deserialize remote exceptions from
- aliases (dict) – A map of transport alias to transport name
-
class
oslo_messaging.
Transport
(driver)¶ A messaging transport.
This is a mostly opaque handle for an underlying messaging transport driver.
It has a single ‘conf’ property which is the cfg.ConfigOpts instance used to construct the transport object.
-
class
oslo_messaging.
TransportURL
(conf, transport=None, virtual_host=None, hosts=None, aliases=None, query=None)¶ A parsed transport URL.
Transport URLs take the form:
transport://user:pass@host:port[,userN:passN@hostN:portN]/virtual_host?query
i.e. the scheme selects the transport driver, you may include multiple hosts in netloc, the path part is a “virtual host” partition path and the query part contains some driver-specific options which may override corresponding values from a static configuration.
Parameters: - conf (oslo.config.cfg.ConfigOpts) – a ConfigOpts instance
- transport (str) – a transport name for example ‘rabbit’
- virtual_host (str) – a virtual host path for example ‘/’
- hosts (list) – a list of TransportHost objects
- aliases (dict) – DEPRECATED: a map of transport alias to transport name
- query (dict) – a dictionary of URL query parameters
-
classmethod
parse
(conf, url=None, aliases=None)¶ Parse an url.
Assuming a URL takes the form of:
transport://user:pass@host:port[,userN:passN@hostN:portN]/virtual_host?query
then parse the URL and return a TransportURL object.
Netloc is parsed following the sequence bellow:
It is first split by ‘,’ in order to support multiple hosts
All hosts should be specified with username/password or not at the same time. In case of lack of specification, username and password will be omitted:
user:pass@host1:port1,host2:port2 [ {"username": "user", "password": "pass", "host": "host1:port1"}, {"host": "host2:port2"} ]
If the url is not provided conf.transport_url is parsed instead.
Parameters: - conf (oslo.config.cfg.ConfigOpts) – a ConfigOpts instance
- url (str) – The URL to parse
- aliases (dict) – A map of transport alias to transport name
Returns: A TransportURL
-
class
oslo_messaging.
TransportHost
(hostname=None, port=None, username=None, password=None)¶ A host element of a parsed transport URL.
-
oslo_messaging.
set_transport_defaults
(control_exchange)¶ Set defaults for messaging transport configuration options.
Parameters: control_exchange (str) – the default exchange under which topics are scoped
Forking Processes and oslo.messaging Transport objects¶
oslo.messaging can’t ensure that forking a process that shares the same transport object is safe for the library consumer, because it relies on different 3rd party libraries that don’t ensure that. In certain cases, with some drivers, it does work:
- rabbit: works only if no connection have already been established.
- amqp1: works

1968 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible Arizona Running Yard Find This car was part of a collector’s estate left to his nephew. This car was purchased in 2006 as a running and driving complete car from Las Vegas Nevada. He drove it home to Mesa Arizona. He parked it under a steel open side barn where it sat until July 2017. The nephew had it moved to his shop parking lot in Phoenix where it has sat since. The 74,000 mile odometer reading could be correct, but I have no way of proving it. We know it starts and, runs, but it needs the fuel system cleaned out. It appears to have working brakes and transmission, but it will need a full service and recommissioning.
Body: The sheet metal appears completely original. The car appeared to have been completely repainted many years ago. It does present as lacquer paint. The drivers side rear quarter has evidence of bondo, but the rest of the car appears straight. This repaired damage is high on the quarter like a dent repair. The spots that normally show rust or rust repair are clean and dry. Glass is good besides the windshield which is cracked. Chrome and stainless are in very good condition. lights are all present and show well. Headlights and tail lights worked when the battery was connected.
Chassis: Clean and dry frame. Rubber bushings are disintegrated. Suspension is complete. It has new tires. All four hubcaps are included as is the jack, and jack handle.
Interior: The interior lights came on when we attached the battery. The interior is complete, and would actually clean up very well. The top has holes in the material. The back glass window is in good shape. The top bows are straight and complete. All of the trim is included. Dash is cracked on top but the bottom is in very good shape. Wiring under the dash is clean and not spliced.
Drive Train: We believe it to be a numbers matching motor. The transmission we are not sure nor are we sure if the rear end is original. It was a running and driving car 12 years ago. We have connected a small pump and gas can, and it started right up. Here is a link to the car running:
Click to see it start for the first time:
Click for Video
There is no water in the oil or in the transmission. The coolant system is still holding antifreeze.
The car is available for inspection. We have a forklift on site that can be used to raise the car for inspections. It appears like a very good project car that can be brought back to life with some hard cleaning and mechanical. The car is for sale outside of the auction, and I encourage you call me to discuss pricing. It will not be a cheap purchase. There are few that are rust free like this car is.
Please call me at<PHONE_NUMBER> top discuss condition, arrange an inspection, or make an offer.

I have priced This truck at pennies on the dollar from the build cost. I am not trying to see the value I want to find a new owner. Please call me to ask any questions, make an appointment to see it, and of coarse make an offer.
Please call me to discuss this beautiful F100, or arrange an inspection. My auction almost always end early due to a sale. I am happy to discuss a purchase price with any one who calls. You can reach me at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

I have been experimenting with the Neurosky brain sensor for a few months now but I forgot to write a blog post about it so here it is!
In the continuity of my previous experiments with the Sphero, Parrot AR Drone, Leap Motion and Myo armband, I bought a Neurosky to try and control the Sphero and Drone using my brain waves.
Using the framework Cylon.js, I was able to write a basic program in less than 50 lines of code.
Here is the code to control the Sphero:
1 // require the npm module
2 var Cylon = require('cylon');
3
4 // setup the ports and devices to connect to
5 Cylon.robot({
6 connections: {
7 neurosky: {adaptor: 'neurosky', port: '/dev/tty.MindWaveMobile-DevA'},
8 sphero: { adaptor: 'sphero', port: '/dev/tty.Sphero-RBR-AMP-SPP' }
9 },
10
11 devices: {
12 headset: {driver: 'neurosky', connection: 'neurosky'},
13 sphero: {driver: 'sphero', connection: 'sphero'}
14 },
15
16 // main function for all programs written in Cylon.js
17 work: function(my){
18 my.headset.on('attention', function(data){
19 console.log('attention: ' + data);
20 // If attention data is superior to 80, make the Sphero roll forward
21 if(data > 80){
22 my.sphero.roll(70,0,1);
23 after((4).seconds(), function(){
24 my.sphero.roll(0,0,0);
25 });
26 }
27 });
28 }
29 }).start();
At the moment, the program does not do much apart from making the ball roll forward if the attention level is above the threshold 80 and making it stop after 4 seconds. However to get started, it’s a pretty good way to get familiar with Cylon.js and the Neurosky.
The headset also gives you access to some raw data like Delta, Theta, Beta, etc… but I don’t really know what they relate to so I haven’t been using them so far.
Here is the code to control the Parrot AR Drone:
1 var Cylon = require('cylon');
2
3 Cylon.robot({
4 connections: {
5 neurosky: {adaptor: 'neurosky', port: '/dev/tty.MindWaveMobile-DevA'},
6 ardrone: { adaptor: 'ardrone', port: '<IP_ADDRESS>' }
7 },
8
9 devices: {
10 headset: {driver: 'neurosky', connection: 'neurosky'},
11 drone: {driver: 'ardrone', connection: 'ardrone'}
12 },
13
14 work: function(my){
15 my.headset.on('attention', function(data){
16 console.log('attention: ' + data);
17 if(data > 70){
18 my.drone.takeoff();
19 after((4).seconds(), function(){
20 my.drone.land();
21 });
22 }
23 });
24 }
25 }).start();
As you can see, this is pretty much similar to the code to control the Sphero, which makes it easy to get something working quickly.
The only downside is that there is so much magic in there that you don’t really get exposed to what is happening in the background.
For it to be more interesting, I’d like to recreate these programs in Node.js.

Brooke Crothers, writing for Forbes:
The preponderance of the gripes in reviews from most of the major tech sites is that it falls short as a laptop replacement. Here’s a quick solution (if you’re in the market for an iPad with a real keyboard): move a few feet (if you’re in the Apple Store) to the table with 12-inch Retina MacBook. The tablet-like 2-pound MacBook is about the same weight as the iPad Pro with the Smart Keyboard (iPad Pro is about 1.6 pounds and the Smart Keyboard is about 0.5 pounds). And about the same price: $1,248 for the 128GB cellular iPad Pro and keyboard and $1,299 for the 256GB 12-inch MacBook.
Exactly. I get that Apple is marketing this as a laptop replacement, but even Tim Cook says it’s really about a lot of people who will no longer buy laptops:
“I think if you’re looking at a PC, why would you buy a PC anymore? No really, why would you buy one?”, asks Tim Cook</blockquote> […] “Yes, the iPad Pro is a replacement for a notebook or a desktop for many, many people. They will start using it and conclude they no longer need to use anything else, other than their phones,” Cook argues…
It’s not supposed to do things the way laptops do things — if that’s what you want, you get a laptop.
And don’t be shocked when iOS 10 brings in more support for a physical keyboard to navigate around the OS. But for heaven’s sake, expecting a pointer is just silly. If anything, Apple would consider something more along the lines of the TV interface trackpad, but I think even that is pushing it.

Continuous
Delivery – Compared by
Continuous Delivery is one of those techniques that I know what it is in theory but aren’t sure what everyone actually does in practice. One obvious way to find out more about it would be to buy “the” book on the topic – Continuous Delivery. Instead I chose a different route – to listen to various people describe how they’re doing it.
The venue was the Mozilla offices near
Rather than a single speaker or set of lightning talks the format was 3 speakers each giving closer to a 15 minute presentation on how they are executing Continuous Delivery in their organisation. With a large audience clearly wanting to extract every last ounce of information from the presenters there was a barrage of questions after each segment that they deftly handled.
One of my goals was to find out what the size of a “feature” is so that when I see the stream of tweets from companies boasting at the number of features they’ve pushed into production today I have some frame of reference. Luckily I didn’t have to wait too long as first up was Chris O’Dell describing how the process works at 7Digital. Her team seems to have adopted many of the modern practices, such as pair programming and Kanban to create a very fluid environment. This wasn’t plain sailing and they clearly still have some baggage to address for some time yet. The most useful part of the presentation was the slides that walked through a “day in the life” of a change, from development right through to deployment. Chris left you with a feeling that they walk-the-walk as well as talking-the-talk.
Next up was Ed himself with Cosmin Onea to explain the 1E approach. This is a company that seems to have to deal with a little more “paperwork” for the final hurdle which I can definitely empathise with. They had a video similar to Chris’s earlier slides that presented the change workflow, but this time in a style more reminiscent of a production-line. Naturally there were many parallels to the first talk, with automated build, testing and deployment the common thread. A desire to avoid feature branches and focus on small well defined tasks was also apparent.
The final speaker was Robert Chatley who instead chose to talk about how he has tackled cloud based deployments. I suspect a fair portion of the audience is working on systems that are, or intend to, run in the cloud and so this was probably highly relevant for them. The crux of the presentation was about how to keep that purity of deploying exactly what you’ve tested, which in his case extended right down into the OS image on which the tests were run. He also provided some tips on how you might go about switching over from one version of the software to the next which requires a fair bit of thought when you have a considerable number of nodes to upgrade and whilst maintaining a minimum level of capacity.
Nice though the offices of Mozilla are with its alluring fridges, it was time to switch to a more traditional watering hole and continue the discussion with proper ale. Not unsurprisingly I discovered there is quite a bit of latitude in the definition of Continuous Delivery and that for some this only extends from DEV through to UAT. Sadly there is often some heavy-handed “review” process in place to bring the pipeline to an eventual standstill. Even so, I came away positive knowing that my team and I are heading in the right direction and that there is still a wealth of tooling to explore to help extract every last ounce out of the process.

set name:avaruussota is an online multiplayer space shooter.
Once you discover a game instance, simply open the page in a modern web browser. The game can also be played on mobile.
The first thing you should see is a dialog. This dialog allows you to set your nickname, which is restricted to 20 characters in length. If you do not choose a nickname, you will be given a random number. After setting your name, you can choose an upgrade for your ship. The upgrade options are:
You can also set the zoom level. 100% will show the entire view area, but may cause objects to be small. After you have set the settings, press play to join the game.
Once you join the game, you will (most likely) begin by spawning on a planet. While on a planet, you cannot turn around, so accelerate off the surface of the planet to begin roaming around the playfield.
The top-left corner shows a bar indicating your shields and a counter for the number of player ships currently active in-game. Your score is indicated in the middle, while the leaderboard showing the players with the highest scores is shown in the top-right. Your powerups are also shown on the top-left.
 Once you hit an enemy with enough bullets, their ship will be destroyed, and the last to hit that player will earn a point. Bullets have a maximum distance beyond which they disappear, and they may only hit a single player at a time.
It is also possible to crash into other ships. In case you ram another ship and your ship survives while the other ship is destroyed, you will also score a point.
Moving around may take some time to get used to. Your ship will not slow down on its own and must be slowed down using the brake.
The playfield is filled with many planets, which also cause gravitational effects to nearby ships and bullets, attracting them towards the planet. Hitting a planet will cause damage to your ship, but by braking and turning your ship's back towards the planet, you can land on that planet. Landing on a planet will slowly recharge your shields as long as you stay on it. Since damaged ships, or ships with low shields, will emit smoke and fly slower than ships without any damage, it may be beneficial to refill one's shields.
The playfield is bordered by a "rubberband" border that pushes players back within if a player tries to escape the playfield. The size of this border depends on the number of players, increasing in size to accommodate more players.
There are different control schemes. For desktop players, keyboard-only controls are:
The mouse can also be used to turn the ship. The left button will fire bullets while the right button will use a power-up. Note that thrusting and braking will still require the use of keyboard keys.
For mobile players, touch controls will show up on the bottom half of the screen. The joystick on the left allows for turning and controlling thrust; the ship's thrusters will be enabled as long as the joystick is held far enough out within the red area. There are also buttons for braking, firing a bullet, and using a power-up. Mobile users cannot control zoom while in-game.
Occasionally power-ups will spawn on the stage. They appear as green glowing orbs, and can be collected by either flying through them or hitting them with a bullet. The power-up is decided randomly on pick-up, and there are two principal types:
The power-ups are:

Atiku lands Abuja 6 months after leaving Nigeria
- Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), returns to Nigeria six months after leaving the country
- Atiku had been in Dubai shortly after Nigeria's presidential election which he lost
- The former vice president is expected to travel to Yola for a condolence visit to the family of his late aide
After about six months in Dubai, the United Arab Emirate (UAE), Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has returned to Nigeria.
Atiku left the country shortly after the presidential election which he lost to incumbent president, Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Confirming Atiku's return to Legit.ng on the phone, Paul Ibe, his spokesperson, said the former vice president got to Abuja early on Monday, November 25.
According to him, Atiku is likely going to Yola, the capital of Adamawa state, on Tuesday, November 26, for a condolence visit to the family of his aide, Umar Pariya, who died recently in Dubai.
Defeated PDP speaks about Musa Wada, its governorship candidate in Kogi (video)
Earlier in the day, Legit.ng reported that Atiku's loyalists and supporters celebrated him on social media with Segun Sowunmi, one of his aides, setting the pace with a statement eulogising him.
In the letter, Sowunmi extolled the virtue of the Adamawa politician, saying the latter had mastered the art of self-discipline and control.
“Yours has so far been a life worthy of celebrations. Indeed the mercies of Allah must not be despised, from the beginning through a career in the public service, to such a beautiful family made up of such beautiful children and associates so numerous that cut across the length and breadth of the globe,” Sowunmi wrote.
An ally of Atiku had recently explained why the former vice president remained in Dubai for that long.

Testing Notes and Domino applications
Chuck Norris doesn't test. For the rest of us: you need a plan when preparing to test Notes applications. Traditionally Notes application testing has been an afterthought. After all adding a few fields onto a form and creating a few columns in a view was all you needed for an entry level Notes application. Like the frog that gets slowly boiled often we don't recognise the point when applications grew so big that a more rigorous test regime started to make sense. While TDD is all the rage for code driven development it hasn't taken a strong hold in the Domino world that is very visualy driven.
A lot of times the first consideration about a systemic test only arises when you want to upgrade a server: Will all my applications run? Do I need to change anything?
In general Notes and Domino are fiercely backward compatible, so the odds are with you. However the odd changes (like you used variable names that became class names) and subtle alterations in behaviour will require that you at least have a look.
Now testing an existing application that has been build anyhow is a complete different animal from building an application suitable for automated testing. It is like building a house with proper heating and plumbing vs. retrofitting this into an existing building - just ask your average castle owner. So let us have a look at the two use cases:

In general Notes and Domino are fiercely backward compatible, so the odds are with you. However the odd changes (like you used variable names that became class names) and subtle alterations in behaviour will require that you at least have a look.
Now testing an existing application that has been build anyhow is a complete different animal from building an application suitable for automated testing. It is like building a house with proper heating and plumbing vs. retrofitting this into an existing building - just ask your average castle owner. So let us have a look at the two use cases:
-
Testing an existing application
This is the trickier use case since your application most likely deeply connects your user interface with your data back-end. So a few steps are necessary to perform tests.- Know your code: using Teamstudio Analyzer, DXLMagic, Ytria ScanEZ or OpenNTF's Source Sniffer you can get a feel for the code base: where are your agents, what @Db* functions are at work, where are external system calls, how complex is your code and where have developers committed a crime by omitting
Option Declare
. Teamstudio's Upgrade filters provide a handy way to get the pay-attention-to-this list when planning to test for upgrades - Prepare a base line version of your application. Base line doesn't mean empty, but fully configured with sample data (you want to test "this value gets edited and changed" too). ZIP away the base line, so you can repeat the test
- Prepare an environment that reflects your use cases. The two main fallacies in testing are: using a small database and a fast network (and then act surprised when user complaint about performance of the large database on the slow network). So you might end up having a base line with a lot of data preconfigured. Using Apache's TCPMon you can simulate a slow network connection even in your exclusive single user gigabit test network. (There are more)
- Write a test plan. Depending who (or what) is executing it, it can be short sentences or elaborate instructions. Make sure to include edge cases where values are close to a limit, exactly hit it or just exceed it a little.
A Notes database is a good place to keep a test plan (I don't mean to attach a text document into a Notes database, but having a proper form with all test data). Test plans ensure that you don't miss something. Test plans are living documents. Your test plan WILL be incomplete, so be prepared to update them frequently (this is why every test deserves its own Notes document (with versioning)). When you look at a test plan you will find striking similarities to Use Cases. They are actual natural extensions. While the Use case describes what the user (or system) does, the test plan describes how it is done in detail - Pick a test tool that can replay testing sequences. Here it gets a little tricky. IBM doesn't offer a tool for Notes client testing. There is server.load, but that's mostly suitable for mail performance testing only. Luckily the Yellowsphere stepped in and SmartTouchan's Autouser fills the gap. It allows for both functional and performance testing. When you test Domino web applications your selection is wider. You need to distinguish between functional and performance testing:
-
Performance:
Here you can test the raw Domino performance by requesting and sending http packages from/to the Domino server or the all over performance including your specific browsers JavaScript performance. Typically you go for the first case. Here you can start with JMeter or Rational Performance Tester (there are others, but my pay cheque doesn't come from there) -
Functionality:
Top of my list is Rational Functional Tester (same reason as above), but I also like Selenium which nicely runs in your Firefox. There are almost infinite combinations of browsers and operating systems, so to no surprise you can find a number of offerings that do the cross browser testing chore for you. Some of them can run against your intranet application, so you don't need to open up your applications to wild west.
-
- Run the tests in various environments (if you test for upgrades) or before and after code changes (if you test for performance or regression avoidance)
- Be very clear: The cost for test coverage is growing exponentially and you can't afford 100%. A good measurement is to multiply the likelihood of an error with the economic damage it can do. If you spend more money on testing, you are wasting it. (Of course that is a slippery road if an application error can lead to physical harm, this is where I see the limit of "assess economic damage only")
- Your test plan should start with the most critical and most used functions and then move to the lesser used and critical actions. Repeat until you run out of time or budget.
- Know your code: using Teamstudio Analyzer, DXLMagic, Ytria ScanEZ or OpenNTF's Source Sniffer you can get a feel for the code base: where are your agents, what @Db* functions are at work, where are external system calls, how complex is your code and where have developers committed a crime by omitting
-
Building applications for testability
Your all over test cycle gets shorter and more efficient when you design an application for testability from the very beginning. The approach is called "Test Driven Development" (TDD). In a nutshell: you write your tests before you write code (which will make them fail), then you write code until the test goes through. This works well for, well code. In a highly interactive visual environment like Domino designer that is much harder. Very often business logic is hidden (pun intended) in hide-when formulas. You (partially) need to let go of such ideas. Some pointers:- Put a business logic into script libraries. You can write test methods that call these functions more easily
- Have a mechanism that generates your test data, so you can start over with a test series anytime
- Use the XPages unit tests on OpenNTF
- Abstract your logic from its implementation. So instead of writing
@DbLookup(@DbName,"configLookup","departments",2)
you writesystemConfig.getDepartments()
or at leastsystemConfig.getConfig("departments")
and implement the actual data access in a library. - There is much more to say.... somewhen

 It can run motors, blink lights, communicate with sensors, and talk to other devices. With a couple addons, they can do some incredible things, like run robots or even your home.
Arduinos are programmed in a subset of the C
programming language. C is a
low-level language meaning it takes longer to understand and it's a bit harder to
progam in than a high-level language like Python. However, it does have some
advantages that make devices like the Arduino possible. C
is very close to
hardware, meaning it's very good at controlling the hardware to do exactly what you
want. It's also very fast, and takes very few resources to run, which is why cheap
platforms like the Arduino exist, as they can use less powerful hardware to run.
Additional resources
For more complex and comprehensive resources, there are some excellent books and online tutorials. If you're ever stuck, or something is not working the way you expect it to, the Ardino forums are a great place to search if someone has had your issue before (chances are they have) or to ask for help py posting your own thread.
What you need to know to write Arduino C
Comments
First off, we have the code comment. It is not actual code, it's just a marker
that tells the computer to ignore some text. This is useful to write some plain old
english, often to explain what some bit of code is so when you look at it later, you
don't forget. Like little notes to yourslf. It can also be used to remove code when
you want to keep it around, but not have it run.
There are two kinds of comments, single and multi-line. Single line comments start
with \\
and make everything after them until the end of the line a comment.
Multiline comments can span multiple lines, and start with a */
, and end with a
*/
. This is usually for commenting out large blocks of text.
For example:
/*
A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and
on. Knight, seeing what the student was doing, spoke sternly: “You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong.”  The machine worked. */
// This too, is a comment
Variables
Variables are ways of storing data in a symbol or label. You can think of it like a box that holds something, for example an integer. Variables have to be declared before they can be used, along with their data type, so the computer knows what kind of data to put in the box.
For example, if I want to keep track of how many cows I own, I can declare a new
variable cows
, and set it to the number of cows I have, say 5. I can do this with:
int cows;
cows = 5;
or in one line with
int cows = 5;
The int
at the beginning of the line tells the computer that cows
can only hold
something of type int
, which are integers in C
. It will fail and the computer
will complain with an error message about mismatched types if we give it something
that's not an integer.
Another important thing about variables is that they can vary. It's in the name! So now if I get another cow, I have to tell the computer that. I can do that very simply with:
cows = 6;
It's important to note that whenever the computer now sees the word cows
in code,
it will interpret it as the variables value. So if we tell the computer to print
(teach them how to print maybe?) the value of cows
, it will tell us 6.
Arduino specific functions
pinMode
Now that we know a little bit about variables and comments, we can learn about functions that the Arduino uses.
One of the first you'll encounter is pinMode
. pinMode
in general usage is
combined weth a variable like this:
int LED_pin = 13;
pinMode(LED_pin, OUTPUT);
As you can see, we made a new variable LED_pin
and assigned it to the integer
13
. We then took that variable and told pinMode
to use it, as well as the word
OUTPUT
, with the second line. The word OUTPUT
is a constant, which is the same
as a variable in that it can hold some data, but different in that it can't change,
and you tell it to hold a value a little differently.
The pinMode
word there is actually a function call, a concept which we'll get
into a litte later, that takes two arguments, in this case a number (supplied by
the variable LED_pin
in this case) and a constant, either INPUT
or OUTPUT
.
This function sets up the pin whose number is the first argument to be an input or
an output. That's why we used the variable LED_pin
there, to make it easier to
make it easier to understand, read, and most importantly reuse when we need to use
it again.
It matters if the pin is an output or an input for us to be able to use two other
functions, digitalWrite
and digitalRead
, respectively.
digitalWrite
and digitalRead
First off, a warning. digitalWrite
can only be used if the pinMode
for that
pin has been set to OUTPUT
, and digitalRead
can only be used if it has been set
to INPUT
This is the purpose of pinMode
, to constrain if we can read or write to that pin.
With that said, let's explain what they both do. Both functions interact with pins
that have been previously been told if they are an input pin or an output pin with
pinMode
. digitalWrite
is called like this:
int LED_pin = 13;
pinMode(LED_pin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(LED_pin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(LED_pin, LOW);
We can see here that it takes a pin number and a constant, HIGH
or LOW
. This
sets the pin on or off, respectively. Now if we hook pin 13 up to the long lead of
the LED, and the short lead to ground, we wold see......nothing! That's because C is
really fast, so it turns the LED on and then off after a really short period of time
because both statements run pretty fast. This is why functions like delay
exist,
explained in the next section.
digitalRead
can be called like this:
int button_pin = 12;
int LED_pin = 13;
int val; //did not assign a value to this variable, because the value will be
assigned later
pinMode(button_pin, INPUT);
pinMode(LED_pin, OUTPUT);
val = digitalRead(button_pin)
digitalWrite(LED_pin, val);
The key line in this is the val = digitalRead(button_pin)
, which assigns the state
of the button (pressed or not) to val
, and then sets the LED to that value.
This means, for example, that if we had the button pulled down to ground with a pull down resistor and when it's pushed, it will complete the circuit with a 5 volt source. If we pushed the button and ran this code, the LED would stay on, but if we didn't push the button, it wouldn't turn on.
Optional
Interestingly enough, this code gives us some insight into what HIGH
and LOW
actually are. since we declared val
as only being able to hold integers, and we
set the value of LED_pin
with digitalWrite
, which takes either HIGH
or LOW
,
we can infer that HIGH
and LOW
are actually integers!
Sure enough, HIGH
is 1 and LOW
is 0. Binary numbers!
delay
delay
makes it possible to make the program run slower by making the program
pause. We need it to run slower because C
can run much faster than we can
percieve. This is a good thing, since it's much easier to slow things down than
speed them up.
delay
is called like this:
int LED_pin = 13;
pinMode(LED_pin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(LED_pin, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(LED_pin, LOW);
so it's the same example as before, but now you can see the LED actually blink! It
stays on for a second (delay
takes a number of millieconds to do nothing) and then
turns off.
Higher order functions and constructs
if
, else
, and else if
statements
if
statements are a crucial part of computer logic. It's what allows the computer
to decide what course of action to take. A quick example of this in the context of
the concepts already introduced is
int LED_pin = 13;
int delay = 1000; // A once second delay
pinMode(LED_pin, OUTPUT);
if (delay >= 1000) {
delay = 500;
}
else
clauses are what to do if the condition in the ()
is not met. An example of this is:
int num = X; //Fill this with a number
int isEven;
if (num % 2 == 0) { // the % checks the remainder if divided by by the next number.
isEven = 1;
} else {
isEven = 0;
}
and lastly, else if
is checking another condition is met, but only if the initial condition is not met. For example:
int num = X; // Fill this with a number
if (num == 0) {
Serial.println("Zero");
} else if (num == 1) {
Serial.println("One");
} else {
Serial.println("Too big!");

_The_Beach_ (R) *** (out of ****)
After the global phenomenon that was _Titanic_, Leonardo DiCaprio truly was the "King of the World" (sorry, James Cameron), having the newfound power to choose whatever follow-up project he wanted--and at any price. But much like his co-star Kate Winslet, DiCaprio has shunned obvious blockbuster efforts and instead opted for more uncommercial works--such as Woody Allen's _Celebrity_ and now _The_Beach_, a stylish and unconventional drama that certainly won't earn him much favor with his fanbase of screaming teenage girls.
That demographic may appreciate the fact that _The_Beach_ gives the twentysomething DiCaprio ample opportunity to show off his shockingly pre-pubescent physique. Such flesh-baring may lead one to think that Danny Boyle's adaptation of Alex Garland's novel is a glamour project, but it isn't. In fact, I don't think that young female audience will otherwise find much interest with the fairly dark story of DiCaprio's Richard, an American on vacation in Thailand, who sets out to find a legendary island paradise along with a French couple (Virginie Ledoyen and Guillaume Canet). They succeed, only to find a secret society led by the mysterious Sal (Tilda Swinton), who, after some initial trepidation, welcomes the newcomers into the exclusive and self-sufficient community, which is sort of a perpetual beach resort.
The message of _The_Beach_ does not take long to come clear; it is rather obvious that reality will ultimately creep in and shatter the delusion of such a utopian lifestyle. The romantic subplot, involving Richard and Ledoyen's Françoise, never really catches fire. That fact is partly due to the screenplay by longtime Boyle collaborator John Hodge, which doesn't quite establish strong character foundations on the page, hence making some of Richard's late character turns feel arbitrary.
However, _The_Beach_ is a less a film about its narrative than its style, and as he has in the past (excepting his last film, the disastrous-on-all-levels _A_Life_Less_Ordinary_), Boyle is able to engage the audience with his style when the script falters. His forays into surrealism are especially inspired, such as a strange scene where Richard's jungle adventures literally turn into a video game. This scene was met with much derisive laughter from the audience with whom I saw the film, but it is actually a rather inventive way to show how immaturely and lightly he takes such a real and serious situation. Boyle is ably supported by cinematographer Darius Khondji, who makes the beach as impossibly beautiful as it should be.
Adding immeasurably to _The_Beach_'s watchability is, indeed, DiCaprio. His teen idol status may be the primary reason he gets so much ink in the press now, but his talent will keep his name in the memory for years to come. _The_Beach_ is certain to fail at the box office (I can see the headlines now--"Leo's Post-_Titanic_ Bellyflop"), but it further proves DiCaprio to be an interesting and boldly risk-taking actor--even if the risks don't always completely pay off.

EigenProbe is a simulation framework built in Python to calculate and depict the propagation of coupled light-matter (polaritonic) modes in 2D quantum materials. This project leverages a spectral approach to the calculation that involve finding the eigenmodes of a modified Helmholtz equation and using them to construct a self-consisten solution.
ScheduleBot is a scheduling framework built in Python to automate the process of assigning regularly occuring duties. It was designed during my year as a head teaching assistant of the Columbia Physics Department because no one should have to spend over 10 hours in a semester scheduling students for lab slots.
Spidey is my own personal WEBsite (get it?!) built from the ground up in HTML, CSS (using UIKit), Javascript, and Flask. I think he's looking pretty amazing right now but he's a work in progress. Perhaps one day he could even look spectacular or sensational.


Sites can be programmed to prevent them from being framed with the IFrame module. If these sites are saved as the Source in an IFrame module, the site will not appear inside the IFrame module on the page. Instead, when a user clicks on the page containing this IFrame, they will be redirected to the framed website. To avoid to this problem, do not frame any sites without first seeking the permission of the site owner and confirming with their webmaster that the Source to be framed permits framing. If however, a Source URL is to be used without first confirming that the website can be framed, we suggest the following precautions:

Having a hard time with those pesky firewalls? Our Remote Server now has it's own HTTP front end which supports a stripped-down version of HTTP specifically for supporting our EJB protocol. Remote invocations from EJB Clients can now be layered over HTTP and serviced by our standalone EJB Server.
No extra ports necesarry. Simply point your EJB client to the URL of the LoaderSerlvet and go! All HTTP requests to the LoaderServlet will be sent into the embedded OpenEJB container. Combine this with the Collapsed EAR approach to embedding OpenEJB and you get a single webapp containing it's own private EJBs and OpenEJB container which can now support it's own remote java clients as well as web browsers. Or combine this with traditional style of embedding OpenEJB into the root of Tomcat at a global level and turn your Tomcat server into a no holds-barred EJB server. If you want no remoting at all, simply remove the LoaderServet's serlvet-mapping and the door is closed.
OpenEJB and it's tools can now be executed via an executable jar. Simply 'java -jar openejb-core-1.0.jar start' and the server will start. Or 'java -jar openejb-core-1.0.jar deploy' to deploy an EJB application. This makes it far easier to use OpenEJB in scripts and third party tools like IDEs. You can even add your own custom commands to the command line via any class with a static main method and a properties file in the classpath at META-INF/org.openejb.cli/mycommand.
Protocols in OpenEJB are a pluggable, snap-in, style concept. Anything that consumes data on a socket is wrapped with a standard set of xinet.d like services for ip and port management, connection pooling, host-based authorization and more. Want to disable a protocol and prevent it from starting? Want to change it's port? Want to limit the max number of concurrent connections or restrict access to clients on specific IP addresses? Just crack open that protocol's properties files and edit away.
OpenEJB now has support for EJB 2.0 Local Interfaces. This is very nice for when OpenEJB is combined with Tomcat or embedded in another application where Remote interfaces are not always needed. See the "Moviefun" example in the source or binary distributions for how to use them. Note that no other EJB 2.0 features (such as CMP 2 or MDBs) are supported in the OpenEJB 1.x codebase.
Collapsed EAR s are an OpenEJB invention allowing you to combine your ejbs and servlets in the same archive and classloader. This is essentially a new way to embed OpenEJB into Tomcat so that OpenEJB and your EJBs are loaded only into your webapp. Combine this with an embedded database and you have a complete mini-J2EE environment that can be hosted in your Tomcat webapp space.
See the "Moviefun" example in the distribution which will be online for a short while here:
http://demo1.openejb.org/moviefun
(visit http://demo1.openejb.org/moviefun/setup.jsp to reset)
It is now possible to deploy and run EJB apps that are not in a *.jar archive. For example, for ejb app located at:
/home/jsmith/myejbapp/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
Simply add a Deployments declaration to the openejb.conf like the following:
<Deployment dir="/home/jsmith/myejbapp" />
In OpenEJB 1.0 beta1, the use of openejb-jar.xml is not required for ejb-jar.xml files that do not contain CMP EntityBeans or ejbs with multiple datasource references.
The speed of the Remote Server has been improved tremendously to compensate for differing default parameters for TCP Socket creation and closing in the Mac OSX Java VM. This makes sequential calls from a Remote Client to the Server several times faster.
In 0.9.2 and before, the JDO database was using the private JNDI namespace of the very first CMP accessed to grab a datasource and hold onto it for use on all requests into the CMP container. This was configured with something like this:
<database name="Global_TX_Database" engine="instantdb">
<jndi name="java:comp/env/jdbc/basic/entityDatabase" />
<mapping href="conf/default.cmp_mapping.xml" />
</database>
This was just wrong. We've switched it so that the "jndi" tag of a Castor database.xml file can be set directly to the global JNDI name of a Connector element declared in an openejb.conf file.
<database name="Global_TX_Database" engine="instantdb">
<jndi name="java:openejb/connector/Default JDBC Database" />
<mapping href="conf/default.cmp_mapping.xml" />
</database>
This is still not so optimal as we do not want to people using OpenEJB's internal jndi and encourage people to become dependent on it. Newer releases of Castor allow for a completely programmatic way to configure a JDO database. In future releases, these global and local database files will go away all together! You will only need to specify your mapping.xml and will be able to pack it in your ejb jar.

Volkswagen Viloran Debuts at the 2019 Guangzhou Auto Show
by Team GaadiWaadiThe Viloran will be the first large-scale domestic luxury commercial MPV of the Volkswagen brand in China
Nearly two months after spy shots of the Volkswagen Viloran surfaced on the internet, the company has now unveiled the wagon-like minivan at the 2019 Guangzhou Auto show. The car will be VW’s first luxury MPV for China and is scheduled to be launched in the first half of next year.
While the official announcement did not reveal much about the car, reports suggest that it will measure over 5.3 metres in length making it almost the size of the Chevrolet Traverse. The car will be VW largest model till date and will feature a 7-seat layout with executive seats electric footrests, double headrests, double-sided automatic sliding doors and Royal-Hall level Dynaudio audio system.
The car is reported to be based on VW MQB platform that was designed for traverse-mounted front engine with front- or all-wheel-drive vehicles. Powering the car will be a turbocharged 2-litre TSI engine that will output 220 horsepower and 350 Newton metres of torque.
The initial images of the car hint at and offering that looks more crossover than a minivan. It sports a long hood steeply raked windshield and style hatch. The car will be introduced in a segment that includes rivals such as the Buick GL8 and the Lexus LM. Reports also suggest that Russia would also be among the countries who will get the car. However, there has been no official word from the company regarding the same.
Two other models that were introduced alongside the Viloran was the Tacqua Adventure and the Touareg PHEV that will also be making its way into the Chinese market.
The Tacqua is VW’s ninth SUV in China, and the other three SUVs will be unveiled next year. Also, TACQUA will be the first model in China to use the Volkswagen brand and the new R-Line logo.

La Dadekotopon bribery-taking guards face dismissal
The three LaDMA metro guards captured on video taking bribes have been suspended, 3news.com has gathered.
They are to face stiffer sanctions pending the conclusion of investigations.
“If we find out [that] to be true possibly they can be sacked.”
This was disclosed by the Chief Executive of La Dadekotopon Municipal Assembly (LaDMA), Reverend Solomon Kotey Nikoi in an interview on TV3’s Midday Live on Thursday.
The three were filmed by the 3FM Community Connect team on Monday, November 18 on the pedestrian walkway near the Accra Mall.
The undercover report was as a result of persistent complaints from pedestrians about the growing number of street hawkers and squatters in the area.
Meanwhile, the LaDMA MCE pleaded for more time to allow him to clear the squatters and hawkers since he is new in office.


Aljotta
Aljotta (“jo” as in “Yo!”) is a light fish soup with roots in french bouillabaisse and similarly refers to the method of serving the fish that are cooked in it. The most appropriate fish to use for both the stock and the accompanying meal are ‘clean’ white fish that don’t turn the broth cloudy, ideally stargazers, monkfish, red gurnard, and moray eels but also hake, mullets, cod and haddock. There are a some variants; restaurant versions could very well include lemon juice and shellfish which I don’t associate with aljotta. Rice eventually became a staple with it and how much you put in is up to you. I recommend just a little. In fact, there are no ingredient amounts; the picture should give you an idea of the density you’re going for. Fresh herbs are a must.
Ingredients
- Fish stock (see 2.)
- Fish, raw
- Onion, roughly chopped
- Garlic, sliced or diced
- Tomatos, chopped
- frying oil/lard
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Marjoram
- Black pepper (optional)
- Mint, small amount (optional, I never use it myself as it’s too overpowering)
- Lemon wedge/juice (optional, also overpowering)
- Rice (optional)
Directions
- Cook some rice and set aside. White short-grain is best but other types will do as long as it’s not starchy. Don’t use arborio or sushi rice.
- Prepare the stock, possibly the day before, by boiling fish and fish bones in a tall stock pot on medium heat for 1-2 hours. It’s customary to have loose chunks of fish in the soup so you can boil the fish and seperate the meat as it starts to cook. As an example, the head, tail, skin and spine from the anglerfish fillet recipe were used to make stock, then half a fillet and meat that separated from the offal became part of the soup.
- In a pot, heat some oil on low heat and add in the onions. Saute until translucent.
- Add the garlic, tomato, herbs and salt if desired. Switch to medium heat, stirring occationally until the water starts to boil.
- Add the fish and let simmer on low heat until the fish are cooked thoroughly, being careful not to break them. Turn the heat off and add the olive oil.
- Take the fish out to be served seperately. They are traditionally served topped with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon with steamed vegetables.
- If you are using lemon juice or rice, add them to each serving according to your preference.
- Leave some for tomorrow. It always tastes better the next day.

Personalized video thumbnails
Course project of CPSC 554M
This is the course project of CPSC 554M, which is done with the collaboration with Matthew Fong and Xueqin Zhang.
Goal
As more and more videos are being consumed over the web, organizing and searching for videos becomes more difficult. Videos in at-a-glance search spaces are generally represented by a title, a description, and static thumbnail to show the contents of the video. In the particular case where a user is looking for a video they have seen before, this information may not be enough to trigger a user’s memory of the video. We introduce two techniques to represent video in a personalized way that is unique to the user through the analysis of their viewing behaviour, as well as explicit bookmarking for representative thumbnail selection. We performed a formal evaluation on the techniques compared with the traditional YouTube style representation and found users were faster in selecting the video using our methods, and also preferred our method.

The video playing/viewing interface
filmstrip
A filmstrip consists one or several static/dynamic thumbnails, used to quickly skim through the whole video and jump to the segment of interest.
thumbnail
A thumbnail is static or dynamic images extracted from videos to represent and summarize the videos.
