Political Economy for Resilient Coupled Infrastructure Systems
Governance to create a resilient coupled infrastructure system is of interest to me. Due to the system's high interdependence and climate change, infrastructure systems are becoming increasingly vulnerable. Infrastructure must be repaired, upgraded, and rebuilt to ensure its resilience. Despite failures, however, it is difficult to make appropriate decisions and investments in the systems. To solve this puzzle, we must consider the intricate dynamics of political economy regarding the social-technical value of infrastructure's shared resources. In addition, it is crucial to assess the inherent risks and limitations of the system by analyzing intra- and inter-organizations. I believe social simulation modeling and network theory can provide useful frameworks for modeling resilient governance systems.

Data Feed: HoldingsFeed
Category: TransactionFeed
The Holding class and its relationship to the Account subclasses are described in detail in the Portfolio Management Application Classes document. A number of related feeds are available to create new Portfolio, AggAccount, IndexAccount, and CompositeAccount instances and to update other account-based information.
| Field | Holding Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| --- Required Fields --- | |||
| acctId | account | String | id of existing Portfolio or IndexAccount instance |
| secId | security | String | id of existing Security instance |
| date | date | Date | date of the Holding |
| --- Suggested Fields --- | |||
| mval | _totalMarketValue | Number | market value of security held in account on date |
| shares | _shares | Number | shares (or units of security) held in account on date |
| --- Other Fields --- | |||
| price | _accountingPrice | Number | price used to compute market value of security |
| totalCost | _totalCost | Number | total cost of holding |
| unitCost | _totalCost | Number | unit cost of holdings |
| adjustDate | _adjustmentDate | Date | date holding is adjusted through |
| currencyId | baseCurrency | String | currency of the holding |
This value is used to update the _totalMarketValue property of the holding. The value is assumed to be in the same currency as the referenced account.
The following tab-delimited feed could be used to create Portfolio holdings for several portfolios on a single date. Market values will be derived for each holding:
Interface ExternalFeedManager upload: "HoldingsFeed" using: "date acctId secId shares 9712 PORT1 GM 1000 9712 PORT1 F 2000 9712 PORT1 CASH 20000 9712 PORT2 IBM 10000 9712 PORT2 DELL 15000 9712 PORT2 CASH 20000 " ;
The following tab-delimited feed could be used to create Portfolio holdings for several portfolios on several dates. Market values are assigned directly from this feed:
Interface ExternalFeedManager upload: "HoldingsFeed" using: "date acctId secId mval 9712 PORT1 GM 1234.56 9712 PORT1 F 2345.67 9712 PORT1 CASH 20000.00 9712 PORT2 IBM 9876.54 9712 PORT2 DELL 8765.43 9712 PORT2 CASH 10000.00 9711 PORT1 GM 1233.21 9711 PORT1 F 2344.32 9711 PORT1 CASH 20000.00 " ;
The following tab-delimited feed could be used to create even dollar holdings for several IndexAccounts:
Interface ExternalFeedManager upload: "HoldingsFeed" using: "date acctId secId mval 9712 INDEX1 GM 100 9712 INDEX1 F 100 9712 INDEX1 C 100 9712 INDEX2 IBM 100 9712 INDEX2 DELL 100 9712 INDEX2 HWP 100 9711 INDEX1 GM 100 9711 INDEX1 F 100 9711 INDEX1 C 100 " ;
The following tab-delimited feed could be used to create market-cap-weighted holdings for several IndexAccounts:

Booker T On CM Punk's 'WWE Backstage' Role: 'We Don't Know What He's Gonna Say'
by Tom ClarkCM Punk’s signing with FOX was met with both shock and speculation. The shock was a given, because of the way he left WWE in 2014 and his insistence that he never wanted to return in any capacity. The speculation was a given also, because now that he’s once again connected to Vince McMahon’s company, fans all over the world are wondering if he will wrestle again.
Now two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has weighed in with some speculation of his own. Booker will of course work alongside Punk on FOX’s Backstage program, which airs on FS1.
Booker used his Hall of Fame podcast to speak on Punk, including the idea of Punk potentially coming back to WWE for another run.
“I’m sure the people wanna see CM Punk actually put his boots on and lace ’em up and get back in the ring. That’s the end goal, I would expect, for so many fans that love CM Punk.
Booker also talked about Punk’s upcoming work on Backstage, including what WWE fans could expect when the master of the pipebomb has a mic in his hand.
 Because CM Punk, he’s a wildcard, you know? We don’t know what he’s gonna say. CM Punk could go right off the cuff you know? He could perhaps wanna have a pipebomb moment.”
Punk’s possible future in the ring is indeed unclear, as he’s not made his immediate intentions known. WWE has recently re-added Punk back to its Alumni page, which may or may not, signal any significant return to the company. Punk’s new gig at FOX is directly connected to WWE of course, but any association beyond that has yet to be revealed.


The technology behind sheet metal fabrication has grown by leaps and bounds over the last couple of decades. The process is the commonly used to manufacture enclosures, covers, brackets, shims and a myriad of other components. Sheet metal fabrication can be thought of as a combination of two different disciplines, cutting and forming.
In most shops the CNC turret press is the workhorse of the cutting department. Modular tools are mounted in a turret located above the work surface. The tools all perform a different function, some cut a straight line, and others punch radii, while some punch holes of a certain size. For some smaller stampings, special punches can be built to blank the part in one stroke. This approach can be very competitive when compared with short run stamping. The turret press uses a nibbling action to blank the desired configuration. Parts are laid out in such a manner as to make optimum use of the sheet of material. For parts with very complex curves or are too thick to use a turret press, laser cutting is used. Water jet cutting is used for parts where edge condition is a concern.
Bending and forming is usually handled by press brakes. A modern sheet metal shop will have numerous stock form dies available, and special tooling can be easily fabricated. Programmable backstops allow several operations to be performed on a single set up. Press brakes are available that can bend material up to fifteen feet wide. Most shops have several press brakes in order to form parts in the most efficient manner possible.
Turret press cut parts usually have nibble marks on the edges, making them poor datum points. It is better to dimension off of hole centers.
Feature tolerance in the flat can range between +/- .005” to +/- .015” depending upon part configuration and distance between features. Repeatability generally is within .002”
Holes formed during laser cutting generally are larger at the top than the bottom. The heat involved with laser cutting can also harden the edges of parts.
Hole diameters should be at least 20% greater than material thickness. In order to avoid warping, holes should be located at least twice the material thickness from edge to edge.
Minimum bend radii should be at least one material thickness. Holes located close to bends should be at least 3 material thicknesses plus the bend radius or else they may deform.
The techniques as described above are generally competitive from just a few pieces to thousands of parts. Blanking and forming operations can be automated further as volume dictates.
Common material thickness amongst several components provide the opportunity to nest parts more efficiently. For example if an enclosure has a large internal void, chances are several smaller parts could be cut from material which would ordinarily be scrapped.
Investigate some of the base metal clinching technologies which are available as opposed to spot welding when joining pieces together.
Should this part be laser cut or formed on a turret press? When does water jet cutting make sense? What type of encapsulated hardware should I specify? We can answer these questions as well as advising you as to when it may be more appropriate to hard tool your component as a metal stamping. Send us your drawing for immediate analysis.


To use the driver, the JAR archive named postgresql-MM.nn.pp.jar
needs to be included in the class path,
either by putting it in the CLASSPATH
environment variable, or by using flags on
the java command line.
For instance, assume we have an application that uses the JDBC driver to access
a database, and that application is installed as /usr/local/lib/myapp.jar
. The
PostgreSQL™ JDBC driver installed as /usr/local/pgsql/share/java/postgresql-MM.nn.pp.jar
.
To run the application, we would use:
export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/lib/myapp.jar:/usr/local/pgsql/share/java/postgresql-42.2.15.jar:.
java MyApp
Current Java applications will likely use maven, gradle or some other package manager. Use this to search for the latest jars and how to include them in your project
Loading the driver from within the application is covered in Chapter 3, Initializing the Driver.


Provides a Bayesian latent space model for complex networks, either weighted or unweighted. Given an observed input graph, the estimates for the latent coordinates of the nodes are obtained through a Bayesian MCMC algorithm. The overall likelihood of the graph depends on a fundamental probability equation, which is defined so that ties are more likely to exist between nodes whose latent space coordinates are close. The package is mainly based on the model by Hoff, Raftery and Handcock (2002) <doi:10.1198/016214502388618906> and contains some extra features (e.g., removal of the Procrustean step, weights implemented as coefficients of the latent distances, 3D plots). The original code related to the above model was retrieved from <https://www.stat.washington.edu/people/pdhoff/Code/hoff_raftery_handcock_2002_jasa/>. Users can inspect the MCMC simulation, create and customize insightful graphical representations or apply clustering techniques.

Welcome to my page! I am a fourth-year PhD candidate at the MIT Operations Research Center, advised by Rahul Mazumder. My research lies at the intersection of machine learning and optimization. Specifically, I am working on developing scalable optimization algorithms for sparse and interpretable machine learning models. For instance, check out our sparse learning toolkit L0Learn.
In 2019, I did a research internship at Google AI, where I worked with Natalia Ponomareva on developing a new tree ensemble layer for neural networks. Before that in 2016, I did a research internship with the Core Machine Learning team at Amazon, where my work with Charles Elkan reduced the time for serving machine learning models by $\sim$ 3000x. Before coming to MIT, I did my masters at UIUC where I worked with ChengXiang Zhai on improving information recall in search engines.

L0Learn fits regularization paths for L0-regularized regression. Specifically, it can solve the following class of problems for $q \in \{1,2 \}$: $$ \min_{\beta} \frac{1}{2} || y - X \beta ||^2 + \lambda ||\beta||_0 + \gamma||\beta||_q^q,$$ over a grid of $\lambda$ and $\gamma$ values. Path-wise optimization can be done using either cyclic coordinate descent or local combinatorial search. The core of the toolkit is implemented in C++ and employs many computational tricks and heuristics, leading to very competitive running times compared to popular solvers for the Lasso.
We provide an easy-to-use R interface for L0Learn. For more information on installation and usage, please check L0Learn’s Vignette.
This is a layer of differentiable decision trees which can be used anywhere in a neural network (e.g., as a replacement for the dense layer). The layer supports conditional computation for both training and inference: when updating/evaluating a certain node in the tree, only the samples that reach that node are used in computations (this is to be contrasted with the dense computations in neural networks). We provide TensorFlow and Keras implementations. Please check TEL’s Github Page for more details.

A Kubernetes controller is an active reconciliation process. That is, it watches some object for the world’s desired state, and it watches the world’s actual state, too. Then, it sends instructions to try and make the world’s current state be more like the desired state.
The simplest implementation of this is a loop:
for {
desired := getDesiredState()
current := getCurrentState()
makeChanges(desired, current)
}
Watches, etc, are all merely optimizations of this logic.
When you’re writing controllers, there are few guidelines that will help make sure you get the results and performance you’re looking for.
workqueue.Interface
, you’ll be able to queue changes for a particular resource and later pop them in multiple “worker” gofuncs with a guarantee that no two gofuncs will work on the same item at the same time.Many controllers must trigger off multiple resources (I need to “check X if Y changes”), but nearly all controllers can collapse those into a queue of “check this X” based on relationships. For instance, a ReplicaSet controller needs to react to a pod being deleted, but it does that by finding the related ReplicaSets and queuing those.
Distinct watches are updated independently. Even with an objective ordering of “created resourceA/X” and “created resourceB/Y”, your controller could observe “created resourceB/Y” and “created resourceA/X”.
If an API object appears with a marker value of true
, you can’t count on having seen it turn from false
to true
, only that you now observe it being true
. Even an API watch suffers from this problem, so be sure that you’re not counting on seeing a change unless your controller is also marking the information it last made the decision on in the object’s status.
SharedInformers
. SharedInformers
provide hooks to receive notifications of adds, updates, and deletes for a particular resource. They also provide convenience functions for accessing shared caches and determining when a cache is primed.Use the factory methods down in https://git.k8s.io/kubernetes/staging/src/k8s.io/client-go/informers/factory.go to ensure that you are sharing the same instance of the cache as everyone else.
This saves us connections against the API server, duplicate serialization costs server-side, duplicate deserialization costs controller-side, and duplicate caching costs controller-side.
You may see other mechanisms like reflectors and deltafifos driving controllers. Those were older mechanisms that we later used to build the SharedInformers
. You should avoid using them in new controllers.
The most common point of failure is making a shallow copy, then mutating a map, like Annotations
. Use api.Scheme.Copy
to make a deep copy.
Status
for. Secondary resources are resources that you’ll be managing (creating/deleting) or using for lookups.Use the framework.WaitForCacheSync
function to wait for your secondary caches before starting your primary sync functions. This will make sure that things like a Pod count for a ReplicaSet isn’t working off of known out of date information that results in thrashing.
Don’t forget that the current state may change at any moment–it’s not sufficient to just watch the desired state. If you use the absence of objects in the desired state to indicate that things in the current state should be deleted, make sure you don’t have a bug in your observation code (e.g., act before your cache has filled).
workqueue.RateLimitingInterface
to allow simple requeuing with reasonable backoffs.Your main controller func should return an error when requeuing is necessary. When it isn’t, it should use utilruntime.HandleError
and return nil instead. This makes it very easy for reviewers to inspect error handling cases and to be confident that your controller doesn’t accidentally lose things it should retry for.
Update
method. This is good for cases where you may need to take additional action on the object, but sometimes you know there won’t be more work to do.In cases where you are certain that you don’t need to requeue items when there are no new changes, you can compare the resource version of the old and new objects. If they are the same, you skip requeuing the work. Be careful when you do this. If you ever skip requeuing your item on failures, you could fail, not requeue, and then never retry that item again.
If the primary resource your controller is reconciling supports ObservedGeneration in its status, make sure you correctly set it to metadata.Generation whenever the values between the two fields mismatches.
This lets clients know that the controller has processed a resource. Make sure that your controller is the main controller that is responsible for that resource, otherwise if you need to communicate observation via your own controller, you will need to create a different kind of ObservedGeneration in the Status of the resource.
Consider using owner references for resources that result in the creation of other resources (eg. a ReplicaSet results in creating Pods). Thus you ensure that children resources are going to be garbage-collected once a resource managed by your controller is deleted. For more information on owner references, read more here.
Pay special attention in the way you are doing adoption. You shouldn’t adopt children for a resource when either the parent or the children are marked for deletion. If you are using a cache for your resources, you will likely need to bypass it with a direct API read in case you observe that an owner reference has been updated for one of the children.
See k8s.io/kubernetes/pull/42938 for more information.
Overall, your controller should look something like this:
type Controller struct {
// pods gives cached access to pods.
pods informers.PodLister
podsSynced cache.InformerSynced
// queue is where incoming work is placed to de-dup and to allow "easy"
// rate limited requeues on errors
queue workqueue.RateLimitingInterface
}
func NewController(pods informers.PodInformer) *Controller {
c := &Controller{
pods: pods.Lister(),
podsSynced: pods.Informer().HasSynced,
queue: workqueue.NewNamedRateLimitingQueue(workqueue.DefaultControllerRateLimiter(), "controller-name"),
}
// register event handlers to fill the queue with pod creations, updates and deletions
pods.Informer().AddEventHandler(cache.ResourceEventHandlerFuncs{
AddFunc: func(obj interface{}) {
key, err := cache.MetaNamespaceKeyFunc(obj)
if err == nil {
c.queue.Add(key)
}
},
UpdateFunc: func(old interface{}, new interface{}) {
key, err := cache.MetaNamespaceKeyFunc(new)
if err == nil {
c.queue.Add(key)
}
},
DeleteFunc: func(obj interface{}) {
// IndexerInformer uses a delta nodeQueue, therefore for deletes we have to use this
// key function.
key, err := cache.DeletionHandlingMetaNamespaceKeyFunc(obj)
if err == nil {
c.queue.Add(key)
}
},
},)
return c
}
func (c *Controller) Run(threadiness int, stopCh chan struct{}) {
// don't let panics crash the process
defer utilruntime.HandleCrash()
// make sure the work queue is shutdown which will trigger workers to end
defer c.queue.ShutDown()
glog.Infof("Starting <NAME> controller")
// wait for your secondary caches to fill before starting your work
if !cache.WaitForCacheSync(stopCh, c.podsSynced) {
return
}
// start up your worker threads based on threadiness. Some controllers
// have multiple kinds of workers
for i := 0; i < threadiness; i++ {
// runWorker will loop until "something bad" happens. The .Until will
// then rekick the worker after one second
go wait.Until(c.runWorker, time.Second, stopCh)
}
// wait until we're told to stop
<-stopCh
glog.Infof("Shutting down <NAME> controller")
}
func (c *Controller) runWorker() {
// hot loop until we're told to stop. processNextWorkItem will
// automatically wait until there's work available, so we don't worry
// about secondary waits
for c.processNextWorkItem() {
}
}
// processNextWorkItem deals with one key off the queue. It returns false
// when it's time to quit.
func (c *Controller) processNextWorkItem() bool {
// pull the next work item from queue. It should be a key we use to lookup
// something in a cache
key, quit := c.queue.Get()
if quit {
return false
}
// you always have to indicate to the queue that you've completed a piece of
// work
defer c.queue.Done(key)
// do your work on the key. This method will contains your "do stuff" logic
err := c.syncHandler(key.(string))
if err == nil {
// if you had no error, tell the queue to stop tracking history for your
// key. This will reset things like failure counts for per-item rate
// limiting
c.queue.Forget(key)
return true
}
// there was a failure so be sure to report it. This method allows for
// pluggable error handling which can be used for things like
// cluster-monitoring
utilruntime.HandleError(fmt.Errorf("%v failed with : %v", key, err))
// since we failed, we should requeue the item to work on later. This
// method will add a backoff to avoid hotlooping on particular items
// (they're probably still not going to work right away) and overall

Download and install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to view the applet.
The first three components are lightweight components, i.e., they handle events and render text using Java APIs. The last one is a peered component, that is, event handling and text rendering are handled by a text editing engine provided by the underlying platform. Peered components were used widely in JDK 1.0 AWT, while lightweight components were introduced in JDK 1.1 and are the basis of the Swing class library.
The lightweight components have different capabilities:
To test with the different components with native Japanese input methods, click into the components to focus on them, turn on an input method (Alt-` on Windows, choosing from the keyboard menu on Macintosh, Control-Space on Solaris), then type "nihongo". The behavior you should see is:
For all components except the non-client, you can now convert the text (Space on Windows and Macintosh, Control-N or Space on Solaris) and then commit it (Enter on all three platforms - how could that happen?). Conversion should result in three kanji characters, which after committing are shown in the component without highlight.
To test with the different components with the sample input method implemented in the Java programming language, "City Input Method", install the input method's JAR file into the extensions directory of the Java runtime environment before running the applet. Then click into the components to focus on them, and select the input method. The selection mechanism is implementation dependent; on Oracle's Java runtime environments, choose the "Select Input Method" menu item from the system menu in the top left corner of the window, then choose the input method from the pop-up menu that comes up. Then type "TYO". The behavior you should see:
For all components except the non-client and, on some platforms, the peered component, you can now convert the text using the Space key. The conversion result depends on your default language - it's the name "Tokyo" in Japanese, Japanese yomi, English, German, simplified or traditional Chinese. To see all options, press Space again - this time, you'll get a look-up window showing all the possibilities. You can use Space to go through all possible selections, or type the number of the conversion you like. Pressing the Enter key will commit the selected conversion and remove the highlight.

Edward Enninful to present Turner Prize 2019 in Margate
Edward Enninful will present the Turner Prize when it is awarded next month, it has been announced.
The editor of British Vogue will hand over the £25,000 first prize to one of four shortlisted artists – Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Helen Cammock, Oscar Murillo or Tai Shani.
Their work is on show at Turner Contemporary in Margate until January 12 2020 and the prize will be handed out at the gallery.
The exhibition has attracted more than 60,000 visitors since opening to the public on September 28 2019 and entry is free.
The Turner Prize, named after artist JMW Turner, is one of the most prestigious honours for the visual arts in the world and aims to promote public interest in contemporary British art.
It is awarded to a British artist for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work in past 12 months.
The prize hit headlines earlier this year over the announcement it would be sponsored by bus operator Stagecoach South East.
It ended its sponsorship “by mutual agreement” just a day after it was made public, following controversy involving the transport company’s chairman.
Sir Brian Souter unsuccessfully campaigned to keep Section 28, the law which banned teachers and pupils from discussing homosexuality in schools.
He bankrolled the high-profile Keep The Clause campaign against the Scottish Executive’s plans to scrap Section 28.
Last year’s Turner Prize was won by artist Charlotte Prodger with her film, shot on an iPhone, about “queer identity” and her experience of coming out as gay in rural Scotland.
The Turner Prize award totals £40,000, with £25,000 going to the winner and £5,000 each for the other shortlisted artists.
Turner Contemporary stands on the site of Turner’s lodging house and the building will feature on the new £20 note, alongside a depiction of the artist.
The Turner Prize 2019 jury is chaired by Alex Farquharson, director of Tate Britain and also includes Alessio Antoniolli, director of Gasworks & Triangle Network, Elvira Dyangani Ose, director of The Showroom Gallery, Victoria Pomery, director at Turner Contemporary, Margate, and writer Charlie Porter.
Turner Prize 2019 is curated by Rowan Geddis and Fiona Parry
Next year the prize will return to Tate Britain.

Sony Ericsson released their WebSDK Packager this week as an open source project on Github. We're really excited about this obviously because it's built on top of PhoneGap. Our new Build service also got a little plug in the PC World coverage:
"Earlier this month, Nitobi announced the beta of PhoneGap Build, a cloud-based tool that allows developers to write applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, upload their apps to PhoneGap Build, and get back applications that work natively on smartphones based on Android, webOS, Symbian and the BlackBerry OS, and soon on iOS, Windows Mobile, MeeGo and Bada."

Nice to see the mainstream tech media picking up on the issues and tooling around cross platform mobile apps.


A common theme in early Disney movies is the adaptation of old tales. "The Little Mermaid" is based off of Hans Christian Andersen's famed tale. In a modern revival of this well-known inspiration, "Frozen" is based off of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen"

A simple file might look like this: ```xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <lint> <issue id="RemoveWorkManagerInitializer" severity="ignore" /> </lint> ``` Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and so on [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html). * In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For example, you can use something like ```gradle lintOptions { disable 'RemoveWorkManagerInitializer' } ``` In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }` block. * For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag: ``` $ lint --ignore RemoveWorkManagerInitializer ...` ``` * Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).


The Top African Goalscorers This Season So Far
by David KappelMohamed Salah netted his sixth Premier League goal of the 2019/20 campaign against Manchester City on Sunday, but there are four African stars who have scored more league goals than the Liverpool winger has so far this season.
Click through the gallery above to see the leading African goalscorers in Europe's top five leagues so far in this campaign.
Salah’s return thus far has not been as prolific as in his previous two campaigns, but he is still the fifth-best African scorer in 2019/20.
Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Metz forward Habib Diallo lead the ranking with eight league strikes each, while Salah's teammate Sadio Mane and Lille's Victor Osimhen follow with seven goals to their names.

Last season, Aubameyang, Mane and Salah, who shared the Premier League Golden Boot between them, were the joint highest-scoring African footballers in Europe's top five leagues.


marinebon.org re-build
marinebon.org re-build
This is a WiP rebuild of the marinebon.org website using jekyll based on the Jekyll theme for IOOS github pages.
With this rebuild the following MBON web pages will be updated (and merged where appropriate):
- http://www.marinebon.org/
- https://ioos.noaa.gov/project/bio-data/
- marinebon.github.io
The theme
branch contains a modified fork of the IOOS theme, and the website
branch contains the actual content of the website.
The gh-pages
branch is used by Travis.CI to deploy the website to GitHub’s servers.
Jekyll theme for IOOS GitHub pages
This repo holds the common Jekyll theme code for IOOS GitHub.io documentation sites. The IOOS theme is based on IOOS’ fork of the ‘Minimal Mistakes’ Jekyll theme originally developed for the IOOS Catalog documentation site.
An example version of this template is available here: https://ioos.github.io/mbon_jekyll_theme.
Instructions for downloading and creating your own documentation site based on this template code is available at the IOOS Jekyll Template Getting Started page.
These instructions outline two approaches available for developing a GitHub Pages site based on this template:
- using a full Ruby/Jekyll development environment on your workstation (benefit is more rapid iteration of site content changes).
- modifying markdown and template config files via text editor and pushing modifications to your repository ‘gh-pages’ branch to leverage GitHub Pages’ Jekyll environment to render the results live (eg. https://ioos.github.io/your_repo_name).
Both approaches involve downloading/cloning the ‘gh-pages’ branch of this repository, which is a mock-up documentation site based on the template code contained in the ‘master’ branch. The ‘gh-pages’ branch has an internal git submodule reference to the master branch with the template code.
Updates to the IOOS GitHub Pages based documentation sites that use this template can be managed more easily due to the submodule reference to a single template code base. The workflow is to update the master branch template code, followed by running git submodule update commands in each of the downstream repositories.


Chapter 5 Basic forms
Rich Jones 4-7-2021
The minimum per-group sample size (\(n\)) to detect a generic effect size (\(ES\)) with a two-tailed type-I error risk of 5% and 80% power is
\[ n = \frac{16}{ES^2}. \]
This is known as Lehr’s equation. The minimum detectable \(ES\) is
\[ ES = \frac{4}{\sqrt{n}} \]
for two sample tests and \(\frac{\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{2.82}{\sqrt{n}}\) for one-sample tests.
Statistical power for a given effect is
\[\text{Power} = F\left(ES g^{-.5} \sqrt{n} - z_{1-\alpha/2} \right) , \]
where F denotes the normal probability distribution function (R:pnorm(z)
, Stata:normal(z)
), when \(\alpha\) (the probability of a type-I error) is .05, then \(z_{1-\alpha/2} = 1.96\), and \(g\) is the number of groups and assumed to be 1 or 2 (and \(2^{-.5} \approx 0.707\), and \(1^{-.5} = 1\)).
The effect size (\(ES\)) varies across the common forms (mean differences, proportion differences, correlations) and under different design considerations (e.g., the presence of covariates, non-independence of observations such as through clustering [repeated observations, cluster designs]). The values 16, 8, and 4 represent the assumptions of two-tailed type-I error probability of .05 and power of .80 and are described in the technical details below.
5.1 Glossary, definitions, and foundations
Move technical details here. Also add a glossary. Also add classic hypothesis testing null and alternative hypothesis effect distribution curve figure and discuss.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0.707 | \(\approx 1/\sqrt{2}\) |
| 0.842 | \(\approx z_{.8} = z_{1-\beta} \text{, when }\beta = .20\) |
| 1.414 | \(\approx \sqrt{2}\) |
| 1.813 | \(\approx \pi/\sqrt{3}\) |
| 1.96 | \(\approx z_{.025} = z_{1-\alpha/2} \text{, when }\alpha = .05\) |
| 2.802 | \(\approx \sqrt{(z_{.025}-z_{.8})^2}\) |
| 2.83 | \(\approx \sqrt{8}\) |
| 4 | \(= \sqrt{16} \approx \sqrt{2(z_{.025}-z_{.8})^2}\) |
| 8 | \(\approx (z_{.025}-z_{.8})^2\) |
| 16 | \(\approx 2(z_{.025}-z_{.8})^2\) |
| \(\alpha\) | Alpha is usually used to denote the probability of making a type-I error |
| Asymptotic simulation | I don’t even know if this is the right word. Maybe “population” simulation would be better. I use it to describe a simulation of one very large data set and using that single data set to inform some aspect, rather than the more usual case of simulation (sometimes Monte Carlo simulation) for the situation when multiple replications of a sample matching that planned (with a finite sample size) are generated and the characteristics of some key statistics (e.g., test statistics) are aggregated across the individual simulations. I use asymptotic simulations as a check on coding in Monte Carlo simulations, or to check algebra. |
| \(\beta\) | 1. Beta sometimes is used to refer to the probability of making a type-II error; 2. Beta is sometimes used to refer to a regression coefficient |
| Effect size | In general and Cohen’s effect sizes |
| F | A generic term for a function, generally a non-linear transformation of a number, see also \(z\), logit |
| Logit | A logit is a unit on a log odds scale and also a transformation of proportions to log odds: \(\text{logit}(p)=ln(p/(1-p))\). |
| \(\mu\) | Used to indicate a mean, sometimes the thing we’re taking the mean of is noted in subscripts (mean of x is \(\mu_x\)) |
| Marginal | What does it mean to Rich? What does it mean to others? |
| \(N\) and \(n\) | blah |
| \(N_{eff}\) and \(n_{eff}\) | Effective sample sizes overall and per group. Computed after taking into consideration some design characteristics, such as imbalance across groups, missing data, clustering |
| \(2Npq\) | 1. The effective per-group sample size (\(n_{eff}\)) when \(N\) is the overall, total sample size, \(p\) is the proportion in one of the two groups, and \(q=1-p\). Also the harmonic mean of the two group sample sizes (\(n_1,n_2\)). |
| \(p\) | A proportion, ranging between 0 and 1. |
| P-value | The probability (over a long run of identically designed conducted experiments) of finding a significant effect under the assumption that the true population level effect is null. |
| Population | A hypothetical body from which potential observations (a sample) are made and to which inferences are desired to be made in reference to. |
| Power | The probability (over a long run of identically designed and conducted experiments) of finding a significant effect under the assumption that the true population level effect is as hypothesized. |
| \(r \text{ and } \rho\) | Used to indicate a correlation. Generally \(r\) would refer to a observed sample correlation and \(\rho\) a population correlation. |
| Rates | Are events occurring or changes observed over time. Generally, proportions and probabilities are not rates. |
| Sample | A realized draw of observations from a population. |
| Two-tailed vs one-tailed | blah |
| Type-I error | Concluding there is an effect, when in truth, there is no effect |
| Type-II error | Concluding there is no effect, when in truth, there is an effect |
| \(z\) | blah |

This summer, I went to Inner Mongolia autonomous region in China. My trip started at Arxan, a famous tourist area renowned for its unique natural scenery with a spectacular volcanic landscape.
My first spot in Arxan was "Wuliquan". Located at the Southern part of Daxing'anling Prefecture, "Wuliquan" is a mineral spring surrounded by wetlands. There is a saying in Arxan that the mineral water in Wuliquan is a blessing from the god. Therefore, every year, tons of visitors, even the locals, would climb over the mountains just to taste and touch the “holy water”. Unlike many other similar attractions, “Wuliquan” allows visitors to take away the drinkable mineral waters. If you have a water bottle with you during your visit, you could get some holy water back home!
 On top of it, there are four Chinese characters “Tian xia qi quan” in candy red, manifesting the magical nature of the spring.
Moving around Arxan, Arxan Port Bridge is one of the must-go places. Over the bridge, you can see the lands of Mongolia, the only landlocked country in East Asia.
The Sino-Mongolian cross-border tourism based on the Arxan-Songbeir Port was set up on September 2014. The launch of the tourism development there was regarded as a celebration of diplomatic relation establishment between China and Mongolia.
Visitors love to take pictures under the gateway of China in the Arxan Port. The enormous gate showcasing the words “People's Republic of China” in sharp red. With a national emblem on top, the gate looks preeminent in the vast expanse of grasslands.

I'm Stephan Heirbaut, born and raised in Lokeren.
I currently study at the Hogeschool, where I'm following a course in Applied Informatics.
My current interests lie with Zero-Touch installation, DevOps and Docker.
Besides, that I love music, travelling and computer-, board- or tabletop games.
I currently live with my girlfriend in a nice open appartment.
Like I mentioned before, my hobbies are quite diverse.
The same goes for my music taste. At the moment, I'm enjoying the soundtrack of 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2'. However, before that, I was listening to 'Johnny Cash at San Quentin (1969)'. The only things I do dislike a bit are genres like Pop-, Schlager- or polka music.
In the past, my travels have been limited to exploring my own country. So far, I've visited: Bruges, Ostend, Ghent, Dinant and Brussels. I've begun to expand my horizon with trips to Amsterdam, Preston (near Manchester), London and Budapest. Recently I've been able to add Joensuu, Finland to this list. However my main goal, though, is a 14 day trip through Iceland.
I also enjoy a quiet day in with good company and a couple of board- or tabletop games. I in particular enjoy games with depth, like Age of Sigmar or Betrayal at House on the Hill. However, that does not I don't enjoy games like Uno or Bohnanza. It's the socials interaction that I enjoy most of al.
My favourite game of all time though, is Warhammer 40,000. This is a tabletop wargame where you take command of an army of miniatures.
Warhammer 40k also provides a creative outlet. Because, you have to assemble and paint the miniatures yourself.
I also used to play this game on a competitive level. However, my studies are taking up too much time for now. Therefore, I'm currently playing at a more casual level.
Finally, I have to admit that I do enjoy a computergame every now and then. Specifically, computergames that place an emphasis on its story and setting, like Mass Effect or Crusader Kings 2.
Below are some links I would like to recommend to you: reddit, MVA, PluralSight, Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 soundtrack, Vagrant, Docker, Azure, PowerShell, Warhammer 40k 8th Edition, Age of Sigmar
| Link | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Learn | The succesor to Microsoft Virtual Academy. It was a great source for me when learning for MS-900. |
| PluralSight | By far, one thé best websites for online learning. |
| Vagrant | A quick and easy programn for personal users when they want to automate installation of OS and software. |
| Docker | An easy to use containerization programme. |
| Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison (1968) | A link to the performance of Johnny Cash's performance at Folsom Prison (1968). |
| Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 2 | A link to the complete the soundtrack for 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. |
| Warhammer Community | Everything Warhammer related. |

In 1993, Boo was a young, vibrant 2½ year old. He was living on a farm in Wyong, and had for all his life. As a puppy he spent all day chasing his tail around, and as a fully-grown dog he ran freely down the many acres of fields that made up his home.
However, the couple who owned him were having a divorce. The Wife, Linda Moxom, loved Boo dearly and wanted to be with him all his life. This was made impossible when they divorced and she was forced to live in a flat, while Boo had to stay on the farm with her husband.
For 6 months, Boo was locked in a shed and fed only occasionally. He stunk himself out with the smell of his deposits in the shed with him, and as his conditions grew worse, so too did he. Some of us say it was a narrow escape fom death for poor Boo.
Luckily for Boo though, Linda Moxom had a friend (also my mum's friend) called Pam Sachar, who is one of Australia's most passionate dog-lovers and dog-rescuers. She lives with 15-20 dogs in her house, so it seemed no big deal to take in one extra dog. She organised a rescue team, and when Linda's husband was out the team infiltrated the farm and set Boo free after his long, bitter isolation. He was then taken to Pam's to be washed and fed.
Now Boo had nowhere to live and needed a loving family to take care of him. My family, we all wanted a dog (Dad didn't at the time), so Pam let us keep Boo. In a few weeks he was back to normal health and normal weight. It didn't take long either for my previously anti-dog Dad to become attached to Boo as much as he is attached to me and my Mum.
So, since then Boo has lived happily ever after, and is still as fit as a fiddle!
Since we're moving out of our house at the end of this year (2003), and my parents are going to live in units, we've had to send Boo to a new home. Just a few weeks ago, he went to live with a family in Toronto (near Newcastle). We couldn't bear to have him put down, or to send him anywhere unpleasant. His new family are taking good care of him, and we've heard he's still in perfect health and chasing tennis balls as much as ever!
Sadly, Boo passed away towards the end of 2003, shortly after he moved to his new home. We were not with Boo at the beginning, and we were not with him at the end; but we were with him for most of the stuff in between. Boo was bitten by a poisonous creature — a snake or a spider, probably, but we're not sure — and he didn't survive the poison.
We were told that he was healthy and active, and chasing tennis balls, until the day he died. His passing was short and swift, which was no doubt the way he wanted to go.
Boo was loving, beautiful, and irreplaceable. He will be in our hearts forever.
---Name: Boo Epstein, or 'Boozie'.
Date of birth: November, 1990 (we don't know what day for certain, but traditionally it's 1st of November).
Age: at time of writing 12 and a half (that's 88 in dog years).
Weight: 18 kgs.
Obsessions: Tennis balls, walks and bones.

Plans for the future: Keep chasing tennis balls.
Favourite pastime: Wrecking the garden.
Motto: If it's green and round, I'll chase it.

All arguments except file
default to values given by
ps.options()
. The ultimate defaults are quoted in the
arguments section.
postscript
opens the file file
and the PostScript
commands needed to plot any graphics requested are written to that
file. This file can then be printed on a suitable device to obtain
hard copy.
The file
argument is interpreted as a C integer format as used
by sprintf
, with integer argument the page number.
The default gives files ‘Rplot001.ps’, ..., ‘Rplot999.ps’,
‘Rplot1000.ps’, ....
The postscript produced for a single R plot is EPS (Encapsulated
PostScript) compatible, and can be included into other documents,
e.g., into LaTeX, using \includegraphics{<filename>}
. For use
in this way you will probably want to use setEPS()
to
set the defaults as horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper =
"special"
. Note that the bounding box is for the device
region: if you find the white space around the plot region excessive,
reduce the margins of the figure region via par(mar = )
.
Most of the PostScript prologue used is taken from the R character
vector .ps.prolog
. This is marked in the output, and can be
changed by changing that vector. (This is only advisable for
PostScript experts: the standard version is in
namespace:grDevices
.)
A PostScript device has a default family, which can be set by the user
via family
. If other font families are to be used when drawing
to the PostScript device, these must be declared when the device is
created via fonts
; the font family names for this argument are
R graphics font family names (see the documentation for
postscriptFonts
).
Line widths as controlled by par(lwd = )
are in multiples of
1/96 inch: multiples less than 1 are allowed. pch = "."
with
cex = 1
corresponds to a square of side 1/72 inch, which is
also the ‘pixel’ size assumed for graphics parameters such as
"cra"
.
When the background colour is fully transparent (as is the initial default value), the PostScript produced does not paint the background. Almost all PostScript viewers will use a white canvas so the visual effect is if the background were white. This will not be the case when printing onto coloured paper, though.
Font families are collections of fonts covering the five font faces,
(conventionally plain, bold, italic, bold-italic and symbol) selected
by the graphics parameter par(font = )
or the grid
parameter gpar(fontface = )
. Font families can be
specified either as an an initial/default font family for the device
via the family
argument or after the device is opened by
the graphics parameter par(family = )
or the grid
parameter gpar(fontfamily = )
. Families which will be
used in addition to the initial family must be specified in the
fonts
argument when the device is opened.
Font families are declared via a call to postscriptFonts
.
The argument family
specifies the initial/default font family
to be used. In normal use it is one of "AvantGarde"
,
"Bookman"
, "Courier"
, "Helvetica"
,
"Helvetica-Narrow"
, "NewCenturySchoolbook"
,
"Palatino"
or "Times"
, and refers to the standard Adobe
PostScript fonts families of those names which are included (or
cloned) in all common PostScript devices.
Many PostScript emulators (including those based on
ghostscript
) use the URW equivalents of these fonts, which are
"URWGothic"
, "URWBookman"
, "NimbusMon"
,
"NimbusSan"
, "NimbusSanCond"
, "CenturySch"
,
"URWPalladio"
and "NimbusRom"
respectively. If your
PostScript device is using URW fonts, you will obtain access to more
characters and more appropriate metrics by using these names. To make
these easier to remember, "URWHelvetica" == "NimbusSan"
and
"URWTimes" == "NimbusRom"
are also supported.
Another type of family makes use of CID-keyed fonts for East Asian
languages – see postscriptFonts
.
The family
argument is normally a character string naming a
font family, but family objects generated by Type1Font
and CIDFont
are also accepted. For compatibility with
earlier versions of R, the initial family can also be specified as a
vector of four or five afm files.
Note that R does not embed the font(s) used in the PostScript output:
see embedFonts
for a utility to help do so.
Viewers and embedding applications frequently substitute fonts for
those specified in the family, and the substitute will often have
slightly different font metrics. useKerning = TRUE
spaces the
letters in the string using kerning corrections for the intended
family: this may look uglier than useKerning = FALSE
.
Encodings describe which glyphs are used to display the character codes
(in the range 0–255). Most commonly R uses ISOLatin1 encoding, and
the examples for text
are in that encoding. However,
the encoding used on machines running R may well be different, and by
using the encoding
argument the glyphs can be matched to
encoding in use. This suffices for European and Cyrillic languages,
but not for East Asian languages. For the latter, composite CID fonts are
used. These fonts are useful for other languages: for example they
may contain Greek glyphs. (The rest of this section applies only when CID
fonts are not used.)
None of this will matter if only ASCII characters (codes 32–126) are
used as all the encodings (except "TeXtext"
) agree over that
range. Some encodings are supersets of ISOLatin1, too. However, if
accented and special characters do not come out as you expect, you may
need to change the encoding. Some other encodings are supplied with
R: "WinAnsi.enc"
and "MacRoman.enc"
correspond to the
encodings normally used on Windows and Classic Mac OS (at least by
Adobe), and "PDFDoc.enc"
is the first 256 characters of the
Unicode encoding, the standard for PDF. There are also encodings
"ISOLatin2.enc"
, "CP1250.enc"
, "ISOLatin7.enc"
(ISO 8859-13), "CP1257.enc"
, and "ISOLatin9.enc"
(ISO
8859-15), "Cyrillic.enc"
(ISO 8859-5), "KOI8-R.enc"
,
"KOI8-U.enc"
, "CP1251.enc"
, "Greek.enc"
(ISO
8859-7) and "CP1253.enc"
. Note that many glyphs in these
encodings are not in the fonts corresponding to the standard families.
(The Adobe ones for all but Courier, Helvetica and Times cover little
more than Latin-1, whereas the URW ones also cover Latin-2, Latin-7,
Latin-9 and Cyrillic but no Greek. The Adobe exceptions cover the
Latin character sets, but not the Euro.)
If you specify the encoding, it is your responsibility to ensure that the PostScript font contains the glyphs used. One issue here is the Euro symbol which is in the WinAnsi and MacRoman encodings but may well not be in the PostScript fonts. (It is in the URW variants; it is not in the supplied Adobe Font Metric files.)
There is an exception. Character 45 ("-"
) is always set
as minus (its value in Adobe ISOLatin1) even though it is hyphen in
the other encodings. Hyphen is available as character 173 (octal
0255) in all the Latin encodings, Cyrillic and Greek. (This can be
entered as "\uad"
in a UTF-8 locale.) There are some
discrepancies in accounts of glyphs 39 and 96: the supplied encodings
(except CP1250 and CP1251) treat these as ‘quoteright’ and
‘quoteleft’ (rather than ‘quotesingle’/‘acute’
and ‘grave’ respectively), as they are in the Adobe
documentation.
TeX has traditionally made use of fonts such as Computer Modern which
are encoded rather differently, in a 7-bit encoding. This encoding
can be specified by encoding = "TeXtext.enc"
, taking care that
the ASCII characters < > \ _ { }
are not available in those
fonts.
There are supplied families "ComputerModern"
and
"ComputerModernItalic"
which use this encoding, and which are
only supported for postscript
(and not pdf
). They are
intended to use with the Type 1 versions of the TeX CM fonts. It will
normally be possible to include such output in TeX or LaTeX provided
it is processed with dvips -Ppfb -j0
or the equivalent on your
system. (-j0
turns off font subsetting.) When family =
"ComputerModern"
is used, the italic/bold-italic fonts used are
slanted fonts (cmsl10
and cmbxsl10
). To use text italic
fonts instead, set family = "ComputerModernItalic"
.
These families use the TeX math italic and symbol fonts for a comprehensive but incomplete coverage of the glyphs covered by the Adobe symbol font in other families. This is achieved by special-casing the postscript code generated from the supplied ‘CM_symbol_10.afm’.
The default color model ("srgb"
) is sRGB.
The alternative "srgb+gray"
uses sRGB for colors, but with pure
gray colors (including black and white) expressed as greyscales (which
results in smaller files and can be advantageous with some printer
drivers). Conversely, its files can be rendered much slower on some
viewers, and there can be a noticeable discontinuity in color
gradients involving gray or white.
Other possibilities are "gray"
(or "grey"
) which used
only greyscales (and converts other colours to a luminance), and
"cmyk"
. The simplest possible conversion from sRGB to CMYK is
used
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model#Mapping_RGB_to_CMYK),
and raster images are output in RGB.
Color models provided for backwards compatibility are "rgb"
)
(which is RGB+gray) and "rgb-nogray"
which use uncalibrated RGB
(as used in R prior to 2.13.0). These result in slightly smaller
files which may render faster, but do rely on the viewer being
properly calibrated.
A postscript plot can be printed via postscript
in two ways.
Setting print.it = TRUE
causes the command given in
argument command
to be called with argument "file"
when the device is closed. Note that the plot file is not deleted
unless command
arranges to delete it.
file = ""
or file = "|cmd"
can be used to print
using a pipe. Failure to open the command will probably be reported
to the terminal but not to R, in which case close the
device by dev.off
immediately.
On Windows the default
"printcmd"
is empty and will give an error if
print.it = TRUE
is used. Suitable commands to spool a PostScript
file to a printer can be found in ‘RedMon’ suite available from
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html. The command will be
run in a minimized window. GSView 4.x provides ‘gsprint.exe’
which may be more convenient (it requires Ghostscript version 6.50
or later).
This section describes the implementation of the conventions for graphics devices set out in the “R Internals Manual”.
The default device size is 7 inches square.
Font sizes are in big points.
The default font family is Helvetica.
Line widths are as a multiple of 1/96 inch, with a minimum of 0.01 enforced.
Circle of any radius are allowed.
Colours are by default specified as sRGB.
At very small line widths, the line type may be forced to solid.
Raster images are currently limited to opaque colours.
If you see problems with postscript output, do remember that the problem is much more likely to be in your viewer than in R. Try another viewer if possible. Symptoms for which the viewer has been at fault are apparent grids on image plots (turn off graphics anti-aliasing in your viewer if you can) and missing or incorrect glyphs in text (viewers silently doing font substitution).
Unfortunately the default viewers on most Linux and macOS systems have these problems, and no obvious way to turn off graphics anti-aliasing.
Support for Computer Modern fonts is based on a contribution by Brian D'Urso<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Becker, R. A., Chambers, J. M. and Wilks, A. R. (1988) The New S Language. Wadsworth & Brooks/Cole.

6.3. Operational Security¶
This chapter contains SIMP security concepts that are related to the operational security controls in NIST 800-53.
6.3.1. Configuration Management¶
This section describes the management of various configurations within SIMP.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Baseline Configurations¶
SIMP baselines include configuration settings and Puppet modules. Currently,
baselines are maintained for both Red Hat/CentOS 6.x, and Red Hat/CentOS 7.x.
Each configuration item that is managed by a Puppet module has an RPM installed
on the Puppet Master in the form of pupmod-name-x.x.x-x
. This process
allows for one main SIMP baseline to be maintained and modules to be upgraded
easily. An overall SIMP RPM is also installed on the Puppet Master, which
denotes the version number of SIMP that is installed.
[CM-2, CM-2 (2), CM-2 (3), CM-6]
SIMP installs a minimal set of RPM packages, which can be found in the kickstart files on the ISO. RPMs, services, and IPTables rules all use a whitelist stance for allowing access or installation. [CM-2 (5)]
- Additional RPMs must be installed by each implementation.
- Services must be declared explicitly or they will be disabled by Puppet
- IPTables rules must allow a service explicitly.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Managing Configuration Changes¶
Configuration change approvals are managed by each implementation; SIMP only
provides the mechanisms to apply changes on clients. A combination of Puppet,
rsync, and YUM is used to apply those changes across any number of
target Puppet clients. All changes made are audited with auditd
or are
logged to via syslog
.
[CM-3a., CM-3 (3)]
Linux systems are made up of hundreds of configuration files that can contain numerous of settings. SIMP does not make an attempt to manage all of the settings in every file. Instead, critical operating system files or files that need to be controlled centrally are managed. Implementations can manage additional files if they are deemed necessary. [CM-6]
<IP_ADDRESS>. Security Verification and Flaw Remediation¶
SIMP cannot detect flaws automatically; each implementation is responsible for tracking flaws. However, SIMP provides a way for flaws to be fixed across all clients. One or all of the following can help automate flaw remediation [CM-6, SI-2, SI-2 (1), SI-2 (4)]:
- Puppet:
- Apply a configuration change to files that are managed by Puppet.
- rsync:
- Use this mechanism to deliver a file to a client. This can be used with or without Puppet to synchronize files.
- YUM:
- Update packages nightly with YUM. Placing an updated package in YUM and running a YUM update manually, or allowing time for the cron job to run, will ensure packages on all clients are updated. Otherwise, a cron job will perform a daily update of packages with YUM.
- MCollective:
- Allow users to execute specific commands across large numbers of nodes in an auditable, distributed, and scalable, fashion.
The extent of security verification that is performed currently is based on changes to files that Puppet or the Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) provides. There are also Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) profiles available from the SCAP-Security-Guide project that check security configuration settings. [SI-6]
<IP_ADDRESS>. Malicious Code Protection¶
For most environments, SIMP will use ClamAV to protect against malicious code.
Rsync is used to push out new definitions, which should be updated by the local
administrator regularly. SIMP also comes with a mcafee::uvscan
module that
manages an installation of uvscan, if it is preferred. The module can configure
.dat
file updates to occur over rsync
.
Both the ClamAV and McAfee modules provide a method to run a scan via cron on a customer scheduled basis. [SI-3]
SIMP also comes with the chkrootkit
tool to check for rootkits. The tool
runs as a cron job and places its output into syslog.
[SI-3]
<IP_ADDRESS>. Software and Information Integrity¶
Unauthorized changes to a local client can be detected by Puppet or AIDE (for any file managed by Puppet). In the event that a managed file is changed locally, Puppet will revert the file back to its original state. It is important to note that this is a function of Puppet and is intended to be more of a configuration management feature rather than a security feature. If a Puppet client has been compromised, the Puppet Master may not have the ability to retake control over that client. However, the Puppet Master can configure all other nodes to deny traffic from the compromised node if they are configured by the administrator to do so. There are additional configuration files that are checked by AIDE, which is triggered by a cron job. AIDE logs any detected file changes in syslog. Each implementation may add additional files that are managed by Puppet or watched by AIDE. The AIDE baseline database is updated periodically to handle the installation and updating of system RPMs and reduce false positives. [SI-7, SI-7 (1), SI-7 (2), SI-7 (3)]
6.3.2. Remote Maintenance¶
Remote maintenance can be performed on SIMP using SSH. Local
maintenance can be performed at the console or via serial port (if available).
SSH sessions are tracked and logged using the security features built into
SIMP. Console access requires someone to have access to the physical (or
virtual) console along with the root
password. Auditing of those actions
also occurs in accordance with the configured audit policy. It is up to the
implementer to decide how to distribute authentication information for remote
maintenance.
[MA-4, MA-4 (1), MA-6]
6.3.3. Incident Response¶
While Puppet is not intended to be a security product primarily, its features help provide security functionality such as dynamic reconfigurations and wide-scale consistent mitigation application. If an implementation chooses, they can leverage Puppet’s ability to reconfigure systems as part of incident response.
SIMP also delivers an MCollective infrastructure which can be used to rapidly query for system state or apply hotfixes in a scalable manner. [IR-1]
6.3.4. Contingency Planning¶
SIMP does not provide any direct support for contingency planning. Some of the mechanisms provided by SIMP might be used to support an implementation’s contingency plan.

choosing the right ac
|
acs come in three varieties — window, freestanding, and built-in.
window acs enjoy popularity due to their affordability and ease of installation.
the freestanding ones can easily be moved between different rooms but are much less efficient.
as for the built-in acs, they are fixed to set locations on the walls but provide both hot and cold air; still, they can be quite expensive.
each ac has a cooling capacity based on its intended room size and measured in btus.
these values can range from 5,000 all the way up to 20,000 and are meant to be used in spaces as small as 150 square feet or as large as 1,500 respectively.
while picking the right ac can be a challenge, we are here to help you at each step of the process.

taking care of your ac
|
|
|
taking care of your ac is very important.
the outdoor units collect dirt and debris that gradually damage the systems unless cleaned regularly.
the filter of the unit itself must also be replaced every few months as it accumulates dirt, pollutants, and allergens — all very harmful to your health.
ac units also have various coils which will result in restricted airflow if not cleaned properly.

First I'd like to note that besides snow capping marijuana bowls with vicodin I don't have much opiate experience, but I have a high medicinal tolerance overall. 1.25MG is NOT a suggested first time dose as fentanyl is approx 40x more potent than morphine. Using indiscretion with this substance could quickly lead to a hospital visit.
At approx 12:30AM I chew 1/10 of a 10mg 100ug/hour release (fentanyl) Duragesic patch. Approx 5 minutes of chewing the effects begin to come on. Drowsiness, euphoria, almost inability to keep eyes open, body numbness, and vivid hallucinations when eyes are close. Noy psychedelic visions, but it's like seeing my room, but different with my eyes closed. I see a bed, couch, desk, computer, but all different like it's someone else's room. The lasts for indeterminable amount of time, but I kept track via writing down times. Typing was almost totally impossible, as well as keeping eyes open.
2:45m my phone rings and it's my friend M who's rollin. This immediately wakes me up, but I am still in a euphoric state. I chain smoke tobacco and often slap myself to stay awake. Less close eyes visuals ow,
3:30AM I can't take it anymore and pass out into a very deep sleep.
Conclusion: As I write this I am still quote 'fenta fucked.' It's an amazing experience, but one that needs to be careful about as fentanyl is very powerful, and the 10mg patches could easily be very harmful (or kill?) if chewed at once. I suggest 1/16 or less of a patch. First timer might want to try as small a square they can to assess tolerance. Absolutely under no circumstances drive or do anything that requires concentration. Writing ths report alone is like a marathon for me. Total lasting effects if I manage to stay awake should be 5 or so hours. This is my 4th expereience with fentanyl.
Be safe, know your body, know your mind!

Hermann Hans Wetzler was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1870 and died in New York City in 1943. An organist, conductor, and composer, Wetzler was the son of American parents and spent his childhood in the United States. In 1882, he returned to Frankfurt to study at the Hoch Conservatory under Clara Schumann and others. From 1897 until 1901, he was the organist at Old Trinity Church in New York, where he had settled upon his return from Germany.
In 1903, he organized the Wetzler Symphony Concerts, with which Richard Strauss appeared as conductor for the first time in the United States in 1904. In 1905 Wetzler returned to Germany, where he held various musical posts. After 1923 he was a guest conductor with different European orchestras. Wetzler retired to Switzerland, but eventually returned to the United States where he died in 1943.
Wetzler was a virtuoso in his treatment of the modern orchestra and showed a preference for symphonic program music.
The Hans Hermann Wetzler Symphony Concerts Collection consists of one file folder of material. There is correspondence with patron H. H. Vreeland, a flyer for the second subscription concert in 1902, subscription information, and a subscription proposal for the newly formed Wetzler Symphony Concerts, which took place at Carnegie Hall.

Like many tech companies, we have a relaxed dress code. We do not require or expect traditional business attire of any sort. T-shirts, shorts, and athletic wear are frequently worn by our team members.
With that said though, we expect all employees to dress in a way that’s not unprofessional, tacky, or excessively distracting. Please do not wear clothing that is revealing, falling apart, noticeably dirty, or unnecessarily disruptive.
