tie - Array persistence
The tie package provides a framework for the creation of persistent Tcl array variables. It should be noted that the provided mechanism is generic enough to also allow its usage for the distribution of the contents of Tcl arrays over multiple threads and processes, i.e. communication.
This, persistence and communication, is accomplished by tying) a Tcl array variable to a data source. Examples of data sources are other Tcl arrays and files.
It should be noted that a single Tcl array variable can be tied to more than one data source. It is this feature which allows the framework to be used for communication as well. Just tie several Tcl arrays in many client processes to a Tcl array in a server and all changes to any of them will be distributed to all. Less centralized variants of this are of course possible as well.
This section describes the basic API used to establish and remove ties between Tcl array variables and data sources. This interface is the only one a casual user has to be concerned about. The following sections about the various internal interfaces can be safely skipped.
This command establishes a tie between the Tcl array whose name is provided by the argument arrayvarname and the data source identified by the dstype and its series of dsname arguments. All changes made to the Tcl array after this command returns will be saved to the data source for safekeeping (or distribution).
The result of the command is always a token which identifies the new tie. This token can be used later to destroy this specific tie.
The name of the Tcl array variable to connect the new tie to.
This argument specifies the type of the data source we wish to access. The dstype can be one of log, array, remotearray, file, growfile, or dsource; in addition, the programmer can register additional data source types. Each dstype is followed by one or more arguments that identify the data source to which the array is to be tied.
The series of dsname arguments coming after the dstype identifies the data source we wish to connect to, and has to be appropriate for the chosen type.
The command understands a number of additional options which guide the process of setting up the connection between Tcl array and data source.
This command dissolves one or more ties associated with the Tcl array named by arrayvarname. If no token is specified then all ties to that Tcl array are dissolved. Otherwise only the tie the token stands for is removed, if it is actually connected to the array. Trying to remove a specific tie not belonging to the provided array will cause an error.
It should be noted that while severing a tie will destroy management information internal to the package the data source which was handled by the tie will not be touched, only closed.
After the command returns none of changes made to the array will be saved to the data source anymore.
The result of the command is an empty string.
The name of a Tcl array variable which may have ties.
A handle representing a specific tie. This argument is optional.
This command returns a list of ties associated with the Tcl array variable named by arrayvarname. The result list will be empty if the variable has no ties associated with it.
This command returns a dictionary of registered types, and the class commands they are associated with.
This command returns the fully resolved class command for a type name. This means that the command will follow a chain of type definitions ot its end.
This package provides the six following types as examples and standard data sources.
This data source does not maintain any actual data, nor persistence. It does not accept any identifying arguments. All changes are simply logged to stdout.
This data source uses a regular Tcl array as the origin of the persistent data. It accepts a single identifying argument, the name of this Tcl array. All changes are mirrored to that array.
This data source is similar to array. The difference is that the Tcl array to which we are mirroring is not directly accessible, but through a send-like command.
It accepts three identifying arguments, the name of the other Tcl array, the command prefix for the send-like accessor command, and an identifier for the remote entity hosting the array, in this order. All changes are mirrored to that array, via the command prefix. All commands will be executed in the context of the global namespace.
send-like means that the command prefix has to have send syntax and semantics. I.e. it is a channel over which we can send arbitrary commands to some other entity. The remote array data source however uses only the commands set, unset, array exists, array names, array set, and array get to retrieve and set values in the remote array.
The command prefix and the entity id are separate to allow the data source to use options like -async when assembling the actual commands.
Examples of command prefixes, listed with the id of the remote entity, without options. In reality only the part before the id is the command prefix:
The Tcl array is in a remote interpreter and is accessed via Tk's X communication.
The Tcl array is in a remote interpreter and is accessed through a socket.
The Tcl array is in a remote interpreter in a different thread of this process.
This data source uses a single file as origin of the persistent data. It accepts a single identifying argument, the path to this file. The file has to be both readable and writable. It may not exist, the data source will create it in that case. This (and only this) situation will require that the directory for the file exists and is writable as well.
All changes are saved in the file, as proper Tcl commands, one command per operation. In other words, the file will always contain a proper Tcl script.
If the file exists when the tie using it is set up, then it will be compacted, i.e. superfluous operations are removed, if the operations log stored in it contains either at least one operation clearing the whole array, or at least 1.5 times more operations than entries in the loaded array.
This data source is like file in terms of the storage medium for the array data, and how it is configured. In constrast to the former it however assumes and ensures that the tied array will never shrink. I.e. the creation of new array entries, and the modification of existing entries is allowed, but the deletion of entries is not, and causes the data source to throw errors.
This restriction allows us to simplify both file format and access to the file radically. For one, the file is read only once and the internal cache cannot be invalidated. Second, writing data is reduced to a simple append, and no compaction step is necessary. The format of the contents is the string representation of a dictionary which can be incrementally extended forever at the end.
This data source uses an explicitly specified data source object as the source for the persistent data. It accepts a single identifying argument, the command prefix, i.e. object command.
To use this type it is necessary to know how the framework manages ties and what data source objects are.
All changes are delegated to the specified object.
This section is of no interest to the casual user of ties. Only developers wishing to create new data sources have to know the information provided herein.
All ties are represented internally by an in-memory object which mediates between the tie framework and the specific data source, like an array, file, etc. This is the data source object.
Its class, the data source class is not generic, but specific to the type of the data source. Writing a new data source requires us to write such a class, and then registering it with the framework as a new type.
The following subsections describe the various APIs a data source class and the objects it generates will have to follow to be compatible with the tie framework.
Data source objects are normally automatically created and destroyed by the framework when a tie is created, or removed. This management can be explicitly bypassed through the usage of the "dsource" type. The data source for this type is a data source object itself, and this object is outside of the scope of the tie framework and not managed by it. In other words, this type allows the creation of ties which talk to pre-existing data source objects, and these objects will survive the removal of the ties using them as well.
After a data source class has been written it is necessary to register it as a new type with the framework.
Using this command causes the tie framework to remember the class command dsclasscmd of a data source class under the type name dstype.
After the call the argument dstype of the basic user command ::tie::tie will accept dstype as a type name and translate it internally to the appropriate class command for the creation of data source objects for the new data source.
Each data source class is represented by a single command, also called the class command, or object creation command. Its syntax is
The first argument of the class command is the name of the data source object to create. The framework itself will always supply the string %AUTO%, to signal that the class command has to generate not only the object, but the object name as well.
This is followed by a series of arguments identifying the data source the new object is for. These are the same dsname arguments which are given to the basic user command ::tie::tie. Their actual meaning is dependent on the data source class.
The result of the class command has to be the fully-qualified name of the new data source object, i.e. the name of the object command. The interface this command has to follow is described in the section DATA SOURCE OBJECT API
Please read the section DATA SOURCE CLASS first, to know how to generate new object commands.
Each object command for a data source object has to provide at least the methods listed below for proper inter-operation with the tie framework. Note that the names of most of the methods match the subcommands of the builtin array command.
This method is called when the object ds is destroyed. It now has to release all its internal resources associated with the external data source.
This command has to return a list containing the names of all keys found in the data source the object talks to. This is equivalent to array names.
This command has to return an integer number specifying the number of keys found in the data source the object talks to. This is equivalent to array size.
This command has to return a dictionary containing the data found in the data source the object talks to. This is equivalent to array get.
This command takes a dictionary and adds its contents to the data source the object talks to. This is equivalent to array set.
This command takes a pattern and removes all elements whose keys matching it from the data source. If no pattern is specified it defaults to *, causing the removal of all elements. This is nearly equivalent to array unset.
This command has to save the value in the data source the object talks to, under the key index.
The result of the command is ignored. If an error is thrown then this error will show up as error of the set operation which caused the method call.
This command has to remove the value under the key index from the data source the object talks to.
The result of the command is ignored. If an error is thrown then this error will show up as error of the unset operation which caused the method call.
This command has to return the value for the key index in the data source the object talks to.
And here a small table comparing the data source methods to the regular Tcl commands for accessing an array.
Regular Tcl Data source ----------- ----------- array names a ds names array size a ds size array get a ds get array set a dict ds set dict array unset a pattern ds unset ?pattern? ----------- ----------- set a($idx) $val ds setv idx val unset a($idx) ds unsetv idx $a($idx) ds getv idx ----------- -----------

Introduction to .NET
.NET is a free, cross-platform, open source developer platform for building many different types of applications from Microsoft. With .NET, you can use multiple languages, editors, and libraries to build for web, mobile, desktop, gaming, and IoT.
The .NET Framework has been developed to cater to the following objectives and requirements:
- To provide a consistent object-oriented environment to develop applications.
- To provide a code execution environment that simplifies deployment and versioning.
- To provide a code execution environment that guarantees the safety of the code that is executing. This includes both code developed internally by an organization or for code developed by 3rd party vendors.
- To provide a code execution environment that eliminates the issues faced by scripted environments with respect to performance.
- To provide a common programming model where the choice of a programming language becomes a matter of choice.
Here is a quick guide from Microsoft about how to install and build your first console application! Click here!
If you want to know more about .NET i recommend you to read this articles:
- From Microsoft: What is dotnet?
- From CodeProject: What is NET?
Introduction to .NET Core
.NET Core is a general purpose development platform maintained by Microsoft and the .NET community on GitHub. It is cross-platform, supporting Windows, macOS and Linux, and can be used in device, cloud, and embedded/IoT scenarios.
The following characteristics best define .NET Core:
- Flexible deployment: Can be included in your app or installed side-by-side user- or machine-wide.
- Cross-platform: Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux; can be ported to other OSes. The supported Operating Systems (OS), CPUs and application scenarios will grow over time, provided by Microsoft, other companies, and individuals.
- Command-line tools: All product scenarios can be exercised at the command-line.
- Compatible: .NET Core is compatible with .NET Framework, Xamarin and Mono, via the .NET Standard Library.
- Open source: The .NET Core platform is open source, using MIT an Apache 2 licenses. Documentation is licensed under CC-BY. .NET Core is a .NET Foundation project.
- Supported by Microsoft: .NET Core is supported by Microsoft, per .NET Core Support
So.. if i want to start to develop a project.. Wich of them is the choosen one..?
Well.. you will choose .NET Core when your application in server side are going to be cross-platform, targeting microservices, using Docker containers (keep reading to know what is Docker!) or when you need a high-performance and scalable systems.
And you are going to use .NET when you currently hace a .NET app running, when you have to use some packages that are not available yet in .NET Core, or you are using a platform that doesn't support .NET Core.

Docker
Docker is a platform that allows you to create portable and lightweight container to build, deploy, and run your applications. It can be installed in almost every SO. Docker is a bit like a virtual machine. But unlike a virtual machine, rather than creating a whole virtual operating system, Docker allows applications to use the same kernel as the system that they're running on and only requires applications be shipped with things not already running on the host computer.
Benefits of using Docker:
- Reproducibility: The exact specifications of a container are stored in a Dockerfile. By distributing this file among team members, an organization can guarantee that all images built from the same Dockerfile will function identically.
- Isolation: Dependencies or settings within a container will not affect any installations or configurations on your computer, or on any other containers that may be running.
- Security: Separating the different components of a large application into different containers can have security benefits: if one container is compromised the others remain unaffected.
- Compatible: .NET Core is compatible with .NET Framework, Xamarin and Mono, via the .NET Standard Library.
- Environment Management: You can have a separate container for testing, development, and production on the same Linode and easily deploy to each one.
- Open Source
Docker have two options for using the tool, one is the COMMUNITY EDITION and the other is ENTERPRISE EDITION. First is for small teams or people who wants to get started with the tool and buil their own container apps, the enterprise edition have more features than the community, like private support channels, certifieds, monitoring, more OS supported, etc.

A tutorial to get you going with your first stimulus display.
PsychoPy has been designed to handle your screen calibrations for you. It is also designed to operate (if possible) in the final experimental units that you like to use e.g. degrees of visual angle.
In order to do this PsychoPy needs to know a little about your monitor. There is a GUI to help with this (select MonitorCenter from the tools menu of PsychoPyIDE or run ...site-packages/monitors/MonitorCenter.py).
In the MonitorCenter window you can create a new monitor name, insert values that describe your monitor and run calibrations like gamma corrections. For now you can just stick to the [testMonitor] but give it correct values for your screen size in number of pixels and width in cm.
Now, when you create a window on your monitor you can give it the name ‘testMonitor’ and stimuli will know how they should be scaled appropriately.
Building stimuli is extremely easy. All you need to do is create a
Window
, then some stimuli. Draw those stimuli, then update the window. PsychoPy has various other useful commands to help with timing too. Here’s an example. Type it into a coder window, save it somewhere and press run.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | from psychopy import visual, core # import some libraries from PsychoPy
#create a window
mywin = visual.Window([800,600], monitor="testMonitor", units="deg")
#create some stimuli
grating = visual.GratingStim(win=mywin, mask="circle", size=3, pos=[-4,0], sf=3)
fixation = visual.GratingStim(win=mywin, size=0.5, pos=[0,0], sf=0, rgb=-1)
#draw the stimuli and update the window
grating.draw()
fixation.draw()
mywin.update()
#pause, so you get a chance to see it!
core.wait(5.0)
|
Note
For those new to Python. Did you notice that the grating and the fixation stimuli both call GratingStim
but have different arguments? One of the nice features about python is that you can select which arguments to set. GratingStim has over 15 arguments that can be set, but the others just take on default values if they aren’t needed.
That’s a bit easy though. Let’s make the stimulus move, at least! To do that we need to create a loop where we change the phase (or orientation, or position...) of the stimulus and then redraw. Add this code in place of the drawing code above:
for frameN in range(200):
grating.setPhase(0.05, '+') # advance phase by 0.05 of a cycle
grating.draw()
fixation.draw()
mywin.update()
That ran for 200 frames (and then waited 5 seconds as well). Maybe it would be nicer to keep updating until the user hits a key instead. That’s easy to add too. In the first line add event
to the list of modules you’ll import. Then replace the line:
for frameN in range(200):
with the line:
while True: #this creates a never-ending loop
Then, within the loop (make sure it has the same indentation as the other lines) add the lines:
if len(event.getKeys())>0:
break
event.clearEvents()
the first line counts how many keys have been pressed since the last frame. If more than zero are found then we break out of the never-ending loop. The second line clears the event buffer and should always be called after you’ve collected the events you want (otherwise it gets full of events that we don’t care about like the mouse moving around etc...).
Your finished script should look something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 | from psychopy import visual, core, event #import some libraries from PsychoPy
#create a window
mywin = visual.Window([800,600],monitor="testMonitor", units="deg")
#create some stimuli
grating = visual.GratingStim(win=mywin, mask='circle', size=3, pos=[-4,0], sf=3)
fixation = visual.GratingStim(win=mywin, size=0.2, pos=[0,0], sf=0, rgb=-1)
#draw the stimuli and update the window
while True: #this creates a never-ending loop
grating.setPhase(0.05, '+')#advance phase by 0.05 of a cycle
grating.draw()
fixation.draw()
mywin.flip()
if len(event.getKeys())>0:
break
event.clearEvents()
#cleanup
mywin.close()
core.quit()
|
There are several more simple scripts like this in the demos menu of the Coder and Builder views and many more to download. If you’re feeling like something bigger then go to Tutorial 2: Measuring a JND using a staircase procedure which will show you how to build an actual experiment.

Blockchain-based cryptocurrencies are a subject to the so-called attack of 51%: when more than half of the computing power of a cryptocurrency network is controlled by some organization or group of individuals, it becomes possible to conduct conflicting transactions or malicious harm.
A 51% attack is a potential Bitcoin attack (or attack on another blockchain network), with the result that one organization can control most of the hash rate. Such a situation can lead to network failure. In other words, an attacker with a 51% hash rate has enough power to deliberately exclude or reorder transactions.
A 51% attack allow an attacker to reverse transactions that were carried out at the time of control, which is likely to lead to the problem of double spending. A successful majority attack will also allow an attacker to prevent some or all transactions from being confirmed (also known as a denial of service), or to prevent the mining of some or all other miners, leading to the so-called mining monopoly.
On the other hand, the majority attack won't allow an attacker to reverse transactions of other people or prevent the distribution of transactions in the network. Changing a block's reward, creating coins from the air, or stealing coins that an attacker never had, is also an incredible scenario. A 51% attack can be carried out only in blockchains with a Proof-of-Work algorithm consensus.
Proof-of-Work (PoW) is the first successful decentralized consensus algorithm in the blockchain. PoW is used in Bitcoin, Ethereum (Ethereum plans to upgrade to Proof-of-Stake), Litecoin, ZCash, Monero, and many other platforms.
First, users send each other coins. Then all the transactions form blocks and are recorded in a blockchain or in a so-called decentralized registry.
All transactions are confirmed using complex mathematical calculations, the accuracy of which can be verified by any user of the network. Miners deal with the formation of a new block and transactions confirmation. If a miner has managed to solve the problem, a new block is formed: the next set of transactions is placed in it, and they are considered confirmed. Tasks become more difficult with time, due to the growing number of network users.
The greatest danger for the system is double spending. So, an attacker who owns 51% of power can create a hidden alternative blockchain and use it to confirm his own transactions. For example, the confirmation of a transaction in the Bitcoin network requires six opened transaction blocks. Accordingly, an attacker must create six blocks. Then he withdraws his funds on the main blockchain. For example, transfers to another account or pays for the purchase, and opens his own chain of blocks, causing a conflict in the system. If both miners have found the right solution for one block, then a network is ramified, where both solutions have the right to exist and are included in the next block of transactions.
The remaining 49% of the network capacity confirms the debit of funds from the account. However, since the attacker has control power, the system recognizes his network to be faithful, in which he has not yet debited the funds, and it will discard the transaction confirmed by other miners since the attacker's block is more complex. Accordingly, the system will show the balance before the transaction and the attacker will be able to spend money several more times, but with each subsequent time, the cost of coins will decrease.
Double withdrawal of funds is possible with less control of capacity, but a concentration of 51% provides a 100% guarantee that the attacker’s block will be recognized as the right block.
Having in hands 51% of system capacity, the attacker practically becomes the owner of the blockchain, can independently generate blocks, confirm and reject transactions. Having seized the system, he can also stop its work by refusing to confirm all transactions.
A 51% attack has four types of consequences, which can sometimes be very dangerous for network victims:
One of them is selfish mining when attackers take advantage of their majority in terms of receiving rewards. If a block is mined simultaneously, miners must vote on whose block they choose. The winner has more chances for the next block. Since most of the network must make a decision about this, an attacker can use his ability to mine his own blocks and continue mining being on the top, without waiting for network approval.
Secondly, an attacker who has a 51% majority in the network may decide to cancel transactions. He can destroy the entire network without accepting any transactions to any of the blocks that the attacker selfishly extracts.
The third consequence is a problem that every blockchain is most concerned about and seeks to avoid at all costs. You already know this because this is double spending, which means spending the same coin on several transactions at the same time. Since the decentralized nature of the blockchain prevents double costs, an attacker with 51% has the central authority for this, since other miners are compromised. Continuous double costs will bring the value of a cryptocurrency to zero. The latter occurs when the attacker creates a hard fork on the blockchain. The reason for this may be the use of double costs arising during the separation of chains.
Alternatively, another reason could be the struggle with other miners who may have managed to create a block. In this case, the attacker can break the chain to this new block.
In 2014, the Ghash.io pool took control of 55% of the Bitcoin network. Despite the fact that this wasn't a planned attack, and the pool voluntarily agreed to reduce the power indicators and promised not to exceed 40% of the threshold, the Bitcoin rate dropped by a quarter of the cost.
In 2016, Krypton and Shift - two cryptocurrencies operating on the Ethereum base, were attacked by a group of hackers calling themselves "Team 51". As a result, fraudsters managed to double-debit and steal 22,000 coins through Bittrex.
The most precedent case occurred with the Verge cryptocurrency, but this attack was possible due to an error in the code. Anonymous cryptocurrency has functioned at once on several algorithms that had to change with the creation of each new block. However, the code has a bug due to which the attackers sent blocks with a false time stamp to the network.
Blocks were generated and sent every second, instead of every 30 seconds. The attack lasted three hours. Hackers managed to capture 99% of the blocks. According to official data provided by developers, it was possible to withdraw 250,000 tokens from the system fraudulently. However, according to users, the real figure reaches almost 4 million.
A 51% attack on blockchains of popular cryptocurrencies requires large investments. According to the Crypto51 website, 1 hour of 51% attack on the Bitcoin network will cost $ 355,883, on the Ethereum network - $ 98,572, and on the Ethereum Classic blockchain - $ 4,534. The cost of the attack depends on the computing power of the network.
Scientists of the Indian Institute of Technology conducted a study of blockchains of different cryptocurrencies and concluded that the bitcoin blockchain is the most secure decentralized network. According to the researchers, a 51% attack on the BTC blockchain won't bring profit, since the network is protected from the double spending. An attacker will only be able to add or remove transaction information from the blocks, while the coins will remain in the users' wallets.
At the moment, to protect a cryptocurrency from the attack one should increase the popularity and power of the network, respectively, to offer new ideas and attract new audiences.
As long as mining remains profitable and there are a huge number of users in the network, it is extremely difficult to attack the system. As soon as the profit from mining becomes less than the cost of purchasing and maintaining the equipment, miners will withdraw their power from the system and the network will become vulnerable.
Another solution is the PoS algorithm. Despite the fact that the theoretical possibility of attack exists, it is absolutely not profitable. In order to take over 51% of the network, you should acquire 51% of all system tokens, which is even times higher than the cost of computing equipment. In addition, it is not a fact that developers won't notice this in time and won't take quick measures to neutralize the attack.
If a 51% attack is detected in time, then developers can use hardforks.
Hard fork is a fundamental change in the cryptocurrency code, after which the connection with the old software will be completely broken. During hard fork happens the creation of a new cryptocurrency and the network split.
For coin holders, hard fork isn’t essential, since in future they will have the opportunity to transfer savings to a new system. However, for the attacker, such a solution means losing the value of the loot.


About
Welcome to Stratego
A little info about the game STRATEGO. This game is part of our project for our class Web Technologies at the University of Applied Science HTWG Konstanz and is a continuation of the project in software engineering.
Gameplay
Stratego is a strategy board game for two players. Each player has 40 pieces representing different characters.
We modified the game a little bit so you can walk with all characters (except flag and bomb) just one field up, down, to the right or to the left. You also can attack the oppenents with your figures. To win the game you have to find and attack the flag of your enemy.
Important rules:
- Flag is the most important figure
- Miner and Bomb: only the miner can defuse the Bomb
- Every other figure loses against the Bomb
- Spy and Marshal: only Spy can beat the Marshal except the bomb
- Flag and Bomb can't be moved

Today, more than ever before, Integration is another key enabler behind the use of Cloud.
It is likely, if not inevitable, that remote systems, in different environments, will need to be connected. These systems may be in the form of Software as a Service, "On Premise" or even on separate Cloud infrastructures.
Knowing how to integrate these systems and the most reliable and cost efficient manner to do this is critical in building a performant and scaleable Cloud environment.
Talk to experts who understand how Integration can be delivered quickly and cost effectively.


Singapore, the only country in Asia in the top 10 for having a competitive workforce
- Advertisement -
Singapore reached the top 10 most competitive countries in the world for talent according to Switzerland’s IMD World Talent Ranking 2019.
The ranking studied how 63 countries cultivate, attract, and retrain a skilled workforce.
It considered factors such as investment and development on education and health infrastructure, cost and quality of living and worker motivation, as well as economic readiness to hone relevant skills for the workforce.
Singapore is the only Asian country in the top 10.

IMD’s top 10 world economies for competitive talent include:
- Switzerland
- Denmark
- Sweden
- Austria
- Luxembourg
- Norway
- Iceland
- Finland
- The Netherlands
- Singapore
The study showed that Singapore scored well in terms of its readiness due to students’ high scores in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), high graduate percentage in the sciences, effectiveness of primary and secondary education, and student mobility.
Singapore scored fairly low in the implementation of apprenticeships and prioritization of employee training. Singapore also ranked quite low considering the percentage of females in the workforce./TISG

A Note About Quiz Days: I expect that everyone is working through the suggested problems in the book. On quiz days,
I will spend the first few minutes of class discussing specific problems from the book that you wish to review (e.g., "I struggled with Problem 15 in Section 1.5. Can you review this?").
I will NOT pick problems from the book to cover in class, as it eats up valuable review time and this is really your responsibility.
- The Math Tutoring Center is open from 10-4 Monday-Thursday, starting tomorrow. It is located in LeConte 105 (the room with the vending machines). You can walk in and get help from our Math graduate students; there is no need for an appointment.

Synchronization Activities
Synchronization activities are useful whenever two or more divergent threads of workflow processing must be rejoined.
The process definition below illustrates how a synchronization activity can be used to coordinate two parallel execution paths.
To configure the activity, you select among the activities immediately upstream of the sync activity in the process flow.
The statuses of the selected activities control the flow out of the sync activity, and for this reason in BPMS terminology
the activity is frequently referred to as a Gateway.
By default, process execution is halted at the sync activity until all the selected upstream activities have been completed.
This default behavior can be overridden by specifying a synchronization expression. The syntax of the expression is governed
by the Java Expression Language standard. MDW uses the Apache Commons JEXL implementation.
The expression should return a boolean value indicating whether flow can proceed.
The expression language syntax will be familiar to those who have used expressions in JSPs or Facelets.
The variables in your synchronization expression are the upstream activity logical IDs
For example, in the illustration below if you wanted execution to continue when EITHER the 'Script One' activity OR the 'Script Two'
activity completed, you would write your sync expression as follows:
A1 || A6
If you wanted execution to continue only after BOTH 'Script One' AND 'Script Two' finished processing, you could leave the sync
expression blank (since this is the default behavior), or you could create the equivalent expression:
A1 && A6
For more sophisticated conditions you may also include process variables in your expression. So, for example, if you'd mapped a
variable called 'myVar' to your process definition, you could include it in your expression as follows:
A1 && (A6 || myVar == 'somethingSpecial')
The expression above would allow execution to continue if 'Script One' was completed and either 'Script Two' was completed or the value
of the process variable 'myVar' was equal to the string 'somethingSpecial'. It should be noted that the expression is evaluated
at the times when the sync activity is executed (whenever an upstream activity completes), so the value of 'myVar' used in the expression
would be whatever it was set to at those specific evaluation times.
Wait For Unsolicited Events
It is often desired that when the activity is waiting for synchronization condition to be satisfied,
it needs to handle unsolicited external events such as receiving a supplemental
order or cancellation of the request.
The activity allows to optionally register for listening
to unsolicited events before all subprocesses terminate.
It uses the same mechanism as EventWaitActivity
to register
the event waits (following this link
for details of event wait registration and additional details).
When the activity instance receives an event before the timer expires,
it can be left in one of the 2 statuses:
- Hold. The activity instance will be put on a hold status (showing cyan color
in the designer's process instance view). While the activity instance in hold status,
incoming transition instance will be recorded but the activity will remain in hold
status, without being completed. When the
activity is put back on waiting status (see this link
for discussion on how this can happen), if the synchronization condition is satisfied,
the activity instance will then transition out.
- Waiting. The activity instance continues waiting (i.e. still actively responds
to incoming transitions as well as other unsolicited events).
We note that the activity can only listen to recurring events. This limitation
is needed to avoid infinite looping when the activity instances resume
waiting from hold status, non-recurring events that have already arrived
would always trigger a transition.
To provide custom code handling unsolicited events, you will need to override
TimerWaitActivity.processOtherMessage(String message)
.
The method is passed in with one argument, which is the entire message. The default
method does nothing. The completion code after processing the message is configured
in the designer, but you can override it in the code by invoking setReturnCode()
.

Take care of your health and protect others by doing the following:
Wash your hands frequently
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.
Practice respiratory hygiene
Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene.  Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.


FROM THE DESK OF MR HAITHAM SHARAF. BRANCH MANAGER OF NATIONAL BANK OF ABU DHABI UNITED ARAB EMIRATE (U.A.E)ABU DHABI<EMAIL_ADDRESS>DEAR, I am Mr. Haitham Sharaf Branch Manager National Bank of Abu Dhabi),I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.A British Oil consultant and contractor with the Kruger Gold Company, Mr. Raymond Beckmade a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendarmonths,valued at US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million Dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we sent an reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,the Kruger Gold Company that Mr. Raymond Beck died in a plane crash along with his wife Mr. and Mrs. Raymond & Dorene Beckin Egypt Air Flight 990, 1999 air crash (for more information about this crash and person you can contact this website: http://www.s-t.com/daily/11-99/11-02-99/d08ho174.htm Since we got this information about his death and on further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Raymond Beck did not declare any kin or relations inall his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$12,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.No one will ever come forward to claim it.According to Laws of United Arab Emirates , at the expiration of 7 (seven) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the ( U.A.E ) Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Raymond Beck so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.

This is my personal coding website. A small page to showcase some projects, where you can learn something about me and how to get in touch with me.
I am curious about entrepreneurship, especially social entrepreneurship, startups, sustainability and coding.
All the background images are taken by myself, feel free to get in touch with me if you would like to use some of them for your own project.
I grew up in a small Swiss mountain village with around 750 inhabitants. Since I am always curious to learn new things I head out of the village soon. I ended up taking the bus to the next city every day to do an apprenticeship in business administration. Later on went to University and finished a BSc in Business administration with majors in entrepreneurship & innovation.
While doing my education I was working in a local trustees office as a financial auditor and accountant. There I was learning about how people organized their businesses and what are the ways to succesfully run a small company.
After 10 years of working in the financial field it was time for something new. I needed a new challenge and went to Siberia to work as a project manager for web applications. Since I enjoyed the work, I decided to continue the path of software development and did a nine weeks coding bootcamp at BitmakerLabs in Toronto. Now I am looking for new opportunities to make the world a better place, preferably working as a developer or a project manager.
In my free time I do a lot of snowboarding in winter and I enjoy taking pictures all year round. Furthermore I have fun traveling around to see new places to meet local people and listen to their stories.

Tutorial Task 1 Step 4: Validating data entry
In this step, you will learn how to:
• Access a servlet directly during an invocation
• Extract a table from a web response, using its contents
• Examine the contents of an HTML table
• Verify that fields are marked read-only
We are nearly done with the pool editor. We can now use it to define the contents of the pool; however, we can only permit the administrator to open the pool for betting if it is valid. We therefore have to define the validity rules. For this tutorial, the only rules that we will insist on is that all teams must have opponents, and that only a game with a pair of teams may be selected as the tie-breaker.
We must also prevent edits to the pool once it has been opened.
Validation is often complicated, since we have to not only check the data against our validation rules, we also have
to recognize the need to validate, and modify the output to show any errors. It would be nice if we could break this into
pieces and build one at a time. With ServletUnit
, we can:
public void testPoolValidation() throws Exception { ServletRunner sr = new ServletRunner( "web.xml" ); ServletUnitClient client = sr.newClient(); client.setAuthorization( "aUser", "pool-admin" ); WebResponse response = client.getResponse( "http://localhost/PoolEditor" ); WebForm form = response.getFormWithID( "pool" ); form.setParameter( "away1", "Detroit Lions" ); form.setParameter( "home1", "Denver Broncos" ); form.setParameter( "home2", "Baltimore Ravens" ); form.setParameter( "tiebreaker", "3" ); WebRequest request = form.getRequest( "save", "Open Pool" ); // (1) select the request object directly InvocationContext context = client.newInvocation( request ); // (2) create an invocation context PoolEditorServlet servlet = (PoolEditorServlet) context.getServlet(); // (3) locate the invoked servlet servlet.updateBettingPool( context.getRequest() ); // (4) ask servlet to update the data String[] errors = servlet.getValidationErrors(); // (5) ask servlet to check the data assertEquals( "Number of errors reported", 2, errors.length ); assertEquals( "First error", "Tiebreaker is not a valid game", errors[0] ); assertEquals( "Second error", "Game 2 has no away team", errors[1] ); }
This test starts out like all the others, but once we have created the request, things venture into new territory:
updateBettingPool
method (which we need to make package-accessible), passing the request
object found in the context.This test won't even compile yet, so before proceeding, we should create the new method in the servlet without any logic:
String[] getValidationErrors() { return new String[0]; }
Now it compiles and fails, as expected. To make this test pass, we need to implement the new method in the servlet:
String[] getValidationErrors() { ArrayList errorList = new ArrayList(); BettingPoolGame game = BettingPool.getGames()[ BettingPool.getTieBreakerIndex() ]; if (game.getAwayTeam().length() == 0 || game.getHomeTeam().length() == 0) { errorList.add( "Tiebreaker is not a valid game" ); } BettingPoolGame[] games = BettingPool.getGames(); for (int i = 0; i < games.length; i++) { if (games[i].getAwayTeam().length() == 0 && games[i].getHomeTeam().length() != 0) { errorList.add( "Game " + i + " has no away team" ); } else if (games[i].getAwayTeam().length() != 0 && games[i].getHomeTeam().length() == 0) { errorList.add( "Game " + i + " has no home team" ); } } String[] errors = (String[]) errorList.toArray( new String[ errorList.size() ] ); return errors; }
Once we are sure of our validation logic, we need to have the error messages displayed. We will arrange to have any error message displayed in the top of row of the table, and we will highlight any cells containing bad inputs. We therefore ask for the response from the bad open pool request:
public void testBadPoolOpen() throws Exception { ServletRunner sr = new ServletRunner( "web.xml" ); ServletUnitClient client = sr.newClient(); client.setAuthorization( "aUser", "pool-admin" ); WebResponse response = client.getResponse( "http://localhost/PoolEditor" ); WebForm form = response.getFormWithID( "pool" ); form.setParameter( "away1", "Detroit Lions" ); // (1) enter bad values into the form form.setParameter( "home1", "Denver Broncos" ); form.setParameter( "home2", "Baltimore Ravens" ); form.setParameter( "tiebreaker", "3" ); SubmitButton openButton = form.getSubmitButton( "save", "Open Pool" ); // (2) select the desired submit button response = form.submit( saveButton ); // (3) submit the form WebTable errorTable = response.getTableWithID( "errors" ); // (4) Look for the error table assertNotNull( "No errors reported", errorTable ); errorTable.purgeEmptyCells(); // (5) Remove any empty cells from the table String[][] cells = errorTable.asText(); // (6) Convert non-empty cells to text assertEquals( "Number of error messages provided", 2, cells.length - 1 ); assertEquals( "Error message", "Tiebreaker is not a valid game", cells[1][0] ); assertEquals( "Error message", "Game 2 has no away team", cells[2][0] ); }
Note:
This test passes once we modify the end of the doPost
method :
pw.println( "" ); if (request.getParameter( "save" ).equals( "Open Pool" )) { String[] errors = getValidationErrors(); if (errors.length != 0) reportErrors( pw, errors ); } printBody( pw ); pw.println( "" ); } private void reportErrors( PrintWriter pw, String[] errors ) { pw.println( "
" ); pw.println( "
Cannot open pool for betting:
" ); for (int i=0; i < errors.length; i++) { pw.println( "
 	" + errors[i] + "
" ); } pw.println( "
" ); }
Note that we are actually displaying two cells for each error. The first is blank, and is simply used for formatting, as many web designers tend to do. The test code will ignore this, so that if the page is later modified to use stylesheets to control its formatting, the test will be unaffected. For this same reason, the tests in this tutorial tend to ignore formatting issues in general, and only look at structural elements.
If everything is valid, we should be able close the pool. This will be reflected by a change in state of the BettingPool object - which will later be used to change the options available to the users - and should forbid future changes to the pool itself. We will test this by verifying that the "save" submit buttons are no longer enabled:
public void testGoodPoolOpen() throws Exception { ServletRunner sr = new ServletRunner( "web.xml" ); ServletUnitClient client = sr.newClient(); client.setAuthorization( "aUser", "pool-admin" ); WebResponse response = client.getResponse( "http://localhost/PoolEditor" ); WebForm form = response.getFormWithID( "pool" ); form.setParameter( "away1", "Detroit Lions" ); form.setParameter( "home1", "Denver Broncos" ); form.setParameter( "away3", "Indianapolis Colts" ); form.setParameter( "home3", "Baltimore Ravens" ); form.setParameter( "tiebreaker", "3" ); form.getSubmitButton( "save", "Open Pool" ).click(); // (1) click the submit button response = client.getResponse( "http://localhost/PoolEditor" ); // (2) retrieve the page separately form = response.getFormWithID( "pool" ); assertNull( "Could still update the pool", form.getSubmitButton( "save" ) ); // (3) look for the buttons try { WebRequest request = form.getRequest(); request.setParameter( "home3", "Philadelphia Eagles" ); // (4) try to change an entry fail( "Could still edit the pool" ); } catch (IllegalRequestParameterException e) {} }
Note:
We have to make changes in two places to make this behavior work. The following code change to printBody
makes the form display read-only once the pool is open:
for (int i = 0; i < games.length; i++) { pw.println( "
" ); pw.print( "<input name='home" + i + "' value='" + games[i].getHomeTeam() + "'" ); pw.println( getReadOnlyFlag() + ">	" ); pw.print( "<input name='away" + i + "' value='" + games[i].getAwayTeam() + "'" ); pw.println( getReadOnlyFlag() + ">	" ); pw.print( "<input type='radio' name='tiebreaker' value='" + i + "'" + getReadOnlyFlag() ); if (i == BettingPool.getTieBreakerIndex()) pw.print( " checked" ); pw.println( " />
" ); } pw.println( "
" ); if (BettingPool.isEditable()) { pw.println( "<input type='submit' name='save' value='Save' />" ); pw.println( "<input type='submit' name='save' value='Open Pool' />" ); } pw.println( "</form>" ); } private String getReadOnlyFlag() { return BettingPool.isEditable() ? "" : " readonly"; }
and we have to make a small change to doPost
in order to mark the pool open:
String[] errors = getValidationErrors(); if (errors.length != 0) reportErrors( pw, errors ); else { BettingPool.openPool(); } }
The pool editor is now complete. In the next task, you will address access to the application.

My setting for this trip was my house and I was on my own. Previous experience with psychs include lsd, mushrooms and 2c-e. my goal was to enjoy life for the next 10-16 hours.
T+00:00 Ingested 14mg 2c-p dissolved in water.
T+01:30 First visual distortions noticed.
T+02:30 Prevelant OEVs, some colours; pinks and greens.
T+03:00 My whole body is positively electrified, heavey OEVs, approaching full effect now I'm in my bedroom swaying back and forward and the whole room is moving with me. I go downstairs, turn on the tv and peoples faces are melting...turn off the tv.
For the next 6 hours I am pretty much incapacitated by intense psychedlia. I keep telling myself not to downplay this experience and then I would tell myself not to overplay it. I have never been so overwhelmed by a drug. I attribute the intensity of the experience to the bodily sensations as much as the hallucinations. I am almost constantly hit with intense rushes of trippieness.
At one point the hallucinations were pretty scary and I found myself thinking I was going to fall into a 'bad trip'. I never thought I could have a bad trip because its never the trip thats bad its the state of mind. I was ok, I wasnt having a bad trip but I felt I could lose my head if I wasnt careful.
T+09:00 The intensity is finally subsiding. Over the next 6-7 hours the visuals wind down.
T+16:00 Still slightly tripping. My face and the top of my chest are still electrified. Still getting occasional body rushes. This drug is overstaying its welcome. For the next 4 hours I have an annoying tension in my face as though Its the last place for the drug to leave my body.
T+20:00 I pass the 20 hour mark and I can still feel the twang of chemical in my body but I eventually fall into a restless sleep.
I got up after about 5 hours sleep still worn out from the experience. I was looking for a bit of intensity with this trip when I decided to take 14mg but I got more than I bargained for. Would I take this substance again? Not in a hurry but if I was I would definately not take this much.

To Gillian On Her 37th Birthday (1996) A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1996 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): **
Bittersweet comedies are tricky at best even under the most expert guidance. Director Micheal Pressman, who previously brought the world TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES II: THE SECRET OF OOZE, tries his hand at a weeper with the mawkish title TO GILLIAN ON HER 37TH BIRTHDAY and ends up with a mess.
This schmaltzy ode oscillates between comedy and tragedy, but only the comedy is successful. The script by David E. Kelley based on Michael Brady's play has characters in constant banter that puts the audience in stitches. As soon as they begin to enjoy the film, however, it switches back to its maudlin roots, and people just stare at the screen not knowing what to make of its false sentimentality.
The acting is equally uneven. Ever handsome Peter Gallagher is David Lewis.  Now, normally strange David, is acting even stranger having long talks on the beach with his dead wife. Other than looks, neither actor brings anything to the part. Although Pfeiffer gives one of the most insubstantial pieces of acting in her career, Gallagher's acting is not much meatier. The good news is that the strong supporting cast, who are given all the comedic lines, almost saves the film.
Every year on Gillian's birthday, known to them as "Gillian's Day", her sister Esther Wheeler (Kathy Bates) and Esther's husband Paul (Bruce Altman), come to Nantucket Island to share the day with David, Gillian, and their now 16 year old daughter Rachel (Claire Danes). Just because Gillian has become an apparition appearing only to David is no reason to cancel the festivities.
Exactly two years after Gillian's death, the Wheelers make their annual pilgrimage to the Lewis's isolated house on the island. This year they bring along a surprise blind date for David, a female named Kevin Danford (Wendy Crewson). David is taken aback and tells Paul, "Don't you think it is a little insensitive fixing me up on her birthday?" Paul sternly retorts, "Gillian has no more birthdays."
Rachel is worried about her Dad, but Esther consoles her with, "He will be all right. It's just, he really loved her." Staying with Rachel is her girlfriend Cindy Bayles (Laurie Fortier), and Cindy sets Kevin straight with, "He's not going to fall for you. Live people can't compete with dead ones."
Soon the seriousness passes for a bit, and we are into the fun silliness of Gillian's Day. As is the tradition, they do wild and crazy things like break out the karaoke so they can sing old Barry Manilow songs. Most importantly, the day coincides with the island's yearly sandcastle building contest. David has a plan complete with elaborate blueprints to build a Gothic castle and unseat the reigning champion - a nine year old girl. These scenes are off the wall and very funny, but the laughter is all guarded because the audience knows that this film will switch without warning to its somber core.
Although thankfully not very often, Pfeiffer does show up in some scenes. When she does, she gets asinine little saccharine lines including, "You're okay Mr. Man," and "Go play with the live girls." I am not making this up. In fact, I don't think I am not even capable of making up such drivel.
The show is filled with mini-dramas. One has Esther planning to go to court to get custody of Rachel since her Dad is flipping out. Another has Rachel getting drunk and throwing up on her father. As I said earlier, only the comedy works.
There is one exception. Paul constantly and overtly flirts with seductive, but underage Cindy. This subplot appears to be nothing more substantial than the comedy about sandcastles, but in one intelligently written scene, the flirting reaches a surprising conclusion. This is quite an insightful scene, and one that I had not expected to see in such a trivial picture. Most impressive is that once it starts, it builds to an unexpected ending.
Reliable James Horner comes through with some excellent music. It has all of the genuine romantic and dreamy aspects that the picture itself lacks. Similarly, Tim Suhrstedt's cinematography has a wonderful and beautiful surreal feel. The best scenes are the nighttime ones of luminescent blues.
GHOST is a much better picture that covers the same ground. I am at a loss to explain why GILLIAN was made. Is the availability of good looking leads suffice motivation to make a film?
TO GILLIAN ON HER 37TH BIRTHDAY runs just 1:33. It is now rated PG-13, but reportedly they made last minute adjustments to get an R rating removed. There is no sex, nudity, or violence. Gillian's death is not shown, just the fall. The show includes a meaningless scene where David uses the F word several time and argues about the number of times he has used it. The picture would have been stronger without the scene and would have allowed younger kids to see it. Even so, my guess is that the show would be fine for most kids over say nine. You can make the decision knowing the F words are there. I laughed a lot, but was put off by the pseudo-serious parts so I can't quite bring myself to recommend it. I give it **.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

Mortgage rule ‘tweaks’ anticipated
The Central Bank may make “some tweaks” to its existing mortgage lending rules — particularly for first-time buyers in Dublin — but wholesale changes are not expected, one analyst has claimed.
Earlier this week, the Central Bank’s new governor, Gabriel Makhlouf, signalled there will be little or no change to current mortgage lending rules when its latest review is completed early next month.
As part of that review, the Central Bank has published four research papers on mortgage lending trends.
Among its findings are that first-time buyers remain less likely to default than second and subsequent house buyers; the average deposit for buying a home is €87,000; and that the average household drawing down a mortgage is spending almost 25% of its net monthly income on mortgage repayments — although this is down from 40% a decade ago.
“We don’t expect wholesale changes to the rules to be announced, but there may be some tweaks coming down the tracks for first-time buyers in the greater Dublin area,” said Goodbody banking analyst Eamonn Hughes.
“The papers conclude that mortgage holders in the greater Dublin area are the group that is most bound by the rules. While the Central Bank suggests that this may not be affecting overall housebuilding, it may be affecting tenure by forcing people into rental accommodation.
"However, with rents at all-time highs and representing a large share of renters’ income, one can argue that this could be having wider economic effects,” Mr Hughes said.
The current rules — introduced in 2015 — curtail the amount that can be borrowed for house purchase to 3.5 times a buyer’s salary, with a minimum deposit of 10% for first time buyers and 20% from other buyers also necessary.
Industry body Brokers Ireland has said the rules only tell “half the story”, with money not being spent on mortgage repayments going on rental payments instead, which are higher than mortgage repayments.

Headlines from the History of Ziraat Bank
Attaining a solid and sustainable performance since its incorporation, Ziraat Bank rapidly progresses towards building the productive and efficient bank of the future on the back of the comprehensive change and transformation project that it has launched.
1863
Foundations of Ziraat Bank are laid...
In 1863, Mithat Pasha, governor of Niş, a city in the former Yugoslavia that was Ottoman territory at the time, led the establishment of the “Homeland Coffers” in the town of Pirot by and under the auspices of the state. In 1867, the Homeland Coffers Regulation was enacted and became the legal framework for the first organized credit system in our country.
1888
Ziraat Bank turns into a modern financial institution…
In 1883, the Homeland Coffers were replaced by Benefit Funds. In 1888, the governing statute of Ziraat Bank went into force on 28 August and the Bank’s head office began operations on 17 September. As Benefit Funds were converted into bank branches, a new era began in our organized agricultural loan history.
1922
Ziraat Bank reunifies…
In 1919, money was supplied from Ziraat Bank’s funds to cover the expenses of detachments of the Turkish National Army during the War of Independence and used to purchase equipment for soldiers.
Upon the establishment of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey on 23 April 1920, the management of all branches and funds in territories under the Parliament’s control was assigned to the Ankara Branch of the Ziraat Bank. Ankara took control of İzmir operations on 09 September 1922, followed by İstanbul operations, and the Bank reunified on 23 October 1922.
With the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, Ziraat Bank embarked upon a period of rapid growth and extensive service delivery. The Bank began offering service to the entire Turkish society with a particular focus on farmers all over the country. Ziraat Bank’s mission was no longer confined to the agricultural sector. The Bank served as the engine of Turkey’s growth process.
1980s
Ziraat Bank turns into an institution of global scale…
Ziraat Bank continued with its rapid growth. The Bank’s New York and London representative offices were turned into branches in 1983 and 1987 respectively, while representative offices entered service in Duisburg, Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, and Rotterdam. Ziraat Bank was ranked 452nd in the Euromoney magazine’s 1988 list of the World’s Top 500 Banks by Equity Capital.
