wso2
Businessmodel of WSO2
Customer Segments
WSO2 has a mass market business model, with no significant differentiation between customer segments. The company targets its offerings at firms of all industries and sizes.
Value Proposition
WSO2 offers four primary value propositions: convenience, accessibility, performance, and brand/status.
The company offers convenience by making life simpler for clients. It operates a 100% open source enterprise middleware platform that enables users to re-compose code or make additions and changes to meet specific requirements over time. It is easy to assemble with and works seamlessly with other components. Also, all of its products are pre-integrated, saving clients time.
The company offers accessibility by providing a wide variety of options. Its platform enables users to build, integrate, secure, analyze, and manage their APIs, Web services, applications, and microservices—on-premises, on mobile devices, in public or private clouds, and across the Internet of Things.
The company demonstrates strong performance through tangible results. Specific positive outcomes for clients include the following:
- eBay used WSO2’s Enterprise Service Bus to handle the traffic of its growing customer base, resulting in 24x7 customer service availability and the processing of over one billion calls daily
- SUVA used WSO2’s Enterprise Service Bus to implement an integrated Web services platform, enabling it to manage over 100 web services overseeing 2.2 million calls per month
- iJET International used WSO2’s middleware to implement end-to-end microservice architecture, resulting in the processing ofover 110 million travel transactions per year The company has established a strong brand due to its success. It has numerous prominent clients, including Cisco, eBay, StubHub, Wipro, and the American Automobile Association.
Channels
WSO2’s main channel is its direct sales team. The company promotes its offerings through its website, social media pages, and participation in webinars, meetups, workshops, and conferences.

Introduction to DocBook XML DTD
The DocBook XML DTD-4.5 package
contains document type definitions for verification of XML data
files against the DocBook rule set. These are useful for
structuring books and software documentation to a standard allowing
you to utilize transformations already written for that standard.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-9.1
platform.
Package Information
DocBook XML DTD Dependencies
Required
libxml2-2.9.10, sgml-common-0.6.3,
and UnZip-6.0

Installation of DocBook XML DTD
Note
The package source is distributed in zip
format and requires unzip. You should create a
directory and change to that directory before unzipping the file
to ease the removal of the source files after the package has
been installed.

Sangre De Cristo
Jack Corbin is an American gunfighter hired to come to Sangre De
Cristo to bring in a family of murderers dead or alive. However
everything is turned upside down when he learns the family he is hired
to hunt down are actually vampires and that he is completely
outclassed and outgunned.
With the help of an Indian medicine man he learns to drink the blood of the one vampire he has killed and become fast enough in the daytime to take a vampire. The downside is his body will become addicted to vampire blood and rapidly and painfully die if he does not keep hunting vampires.
A mysterious young Asian woman hovers around all of this as she waits to see the outcome. She is the 650 year old Iron Lotus who has been hunting vampires for the Catholic church since the mid 1200s.  She too now requires their blood to survive. She is a
master in martial arts and though quite attractive is also incredibly deadly.
If Jack can prove himself with these vampires here the Catholic church will want her to team up with him to hunt more vampires.
What our heroes do not know is the Church is just using them until they have eradicated vampires and then will hunt Jack and Iron Lotus down as they are now considered part demonic themselves.
The vampires all have a human that drinks their blood and then protects the vampires in the daylight. These blood drinkers are called 'halflings' and must be battled through to get to the vampires.
Our heroes can not hope to beat a vampire at night and must hide in safe places such as churches when night falls then hunt again in the daylight hours. Even then their edge is only slight and the danger is always intense.
Because the heroes do not age this show can move forward in time for some episodes to one of the episodes we already have written takes place in modern times where we follow a particularly unsavory vampire who hunts down his teenage girl victims using social media.

Several conditions, collectively called ectodermal dysplasias, involve the above abnormalities.
Since the ability to sweat may be impaired, the child may be unable to regulate his or her temperature and become dangerously hot (hyperthermic). Even a mild illness may cause extremely high fevers. You must take specific measures to keep your child from overheating. Children with these conditions are also more susceptible to getting nasal and lung infections.
A child with the above symptoms should be assessed by a skin specialist (dermatologist) as soon as possible.

The tuple/rem.h
header defines macros that remove the parentheses from a tuple.
#include <chaos/preprocessor/tuple/rem.h>
The CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM
macro removes the parentheses from a tuple of the specified size.
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM
(size) tuple
This argument exists only for compatibility. It is otherwise ignored.
The tuple from which parentheses are to be removed.
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM
(size) tuple
The size of the tuple from which parentheses are to be removed.
Valid values range from 0
to CHAOS_PP_LIMIT_TUPLE
.
The tuple from which parentheses are to be removed.
The CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM
macro itself expands to a macro capable of being invoked against a tuple of arity size.
This macro, when invoked against tuple, expands to the contents of the tuple.
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM
(3)(a, b, c) // a, b, c
Note that in C99, the CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM
macro expands to a macro capable of removing the parentheses from a tuple of any arity.
The size parameter is ignored.
#include<chaos/preprocessor/facilities/expand.h>
#include<chaos/preprocessor/recursion/basic.h>

The CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_ID
macro indirectly expands to CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM
.
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_ID
()
This macro exists only for uniformity with other macros that require indirect invocation.
The CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_
macro expands to a λ expression representing CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM
.
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_
This macro is a shorthand form of the following λ binding:
The CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR
macro removes the parentheses from a tuple of the specified size.
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR
(size, tuple)
This argument exists only for compatibility. It is otherwise ignored.
The tuple from which parentheses are to be removed.
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR
(size, tuple)
The size of the tuple from which parentheses are to be removed.
Valid values range from 0
to CHAOS_PP_LIMIT_TUPLE
.
The tuple from which parentheses are to be removed.
This macro expands to the contents of tuple.
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR
(3, (a, b, c)) // a, b, c
Note that in C99, the CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR
macro is capable of removing the parenthese from a tuple of any size.
Thus, the size parameter is ignored.
The primary purpose of this macro is remove the parentheses from a tuple that is the result of a macro invocation.
In such a circumstance, use of CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM
will not expand the against the tuple without the manual introduction of another scan:
#define A (a, b, c)CHAOS_PP_EXPAND
(CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM
(3) A) // a, b, c
This macro aids in this situation by allowing the tuple argument to expand prior to parentheses removal:
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR
(3, A) // a, b, c
The CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR_ID
macro indirectly expands to CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR
.
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR_ID
()
This macro effectively allows CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR
to pass through itself without becoming disabled.
The CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR_
macro expands to a λ expression representing CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR
.
CHAOS_PP_TUPLE_REM_CTOR_
This macro is a shorthand form of the following λ binding:
The CHAOS_PP_REM
macro removes the parentheses from a unary tuple in C++ (and C prior to C99) or from a tuple of any arity in C99.
CHAOS_PP_REM
tuple
The tuple from which parentheses are to be removed.
CHAOS_PP_REM
tuple
The unary tuple from which parentheses are to be removed.
This macro is used primarily in algorithms as a generalization between the allowance of variadic data or state in C99 and the rigidity of unary data or state in C++ (and C prior to C99) such that the implementation (other than the interface) can be shared in both C99 and C/C++ configurations.

Answer TRUE or FALSE.
Radix sort processes one digit at a time,
and it uses a Binsort to sort the n
records on that
digit. However, any stable sort could have been used in place
of the Binsort.
Using a Binsort on the records based on the current digit is a reasonable thing to do within the context of the Radix Sort.
But, using other sorts on those digits might give the same effect.
The key is that the previously-sorted digits do not get pushed out of order, which can be avoided by using a stable sort.

Introducing Dota Plus
Today’s update unveils Dota Plus, a new monthly subscription service designed to help you get the most out of every match you play. Dota Plus is an evolution of the Battle Pass. In the past we released two types of Battle Passes, ones that revolved around the Majors, and one around The International. As a result of the recent introduction of the Pro Circuit, we’ve replaced the Majors Battle Passes with a new type of service that doesn’t depend on a specific start and end date, and one that we can continually add features and content to over time. This reimagining of the Majors Battle Pass will be an ongoing, uninterrupted service filled with features that provide both progression and opportunities for improvement. Hero Leveling offers you a way to make progress every match while earning Shards, a new currency that can be used to unlock rewards. Test your skills by completing hundreds of new Challenges of varying difficulties. Use the Plus Assistant to help you make build decisions by utilizing real-time item and ability suggestions. These suggestions are based on data gathered from millions of recent games at each skill bracket, ensuring your builds stay current in the ever-evolving meta. Better understand your playstyle by using new graphs and analysis tools both during the match and after it’s finished. This update also includes the return of the Battle Cup. All Dota Plus members will have free weekly access to play in the weekend tournaments, while non-members can still purchase tickets for $0.99 to participate. Everything Dota Plus has to offer is available now for $3.99 per month. Receive a discount if you sign up for a six- or twelve-month subscription. Want to gift Dota Plus to a friend? You can purchase gift memberships that will remain active for a fixed number of months.

About me
Hi, my name is Daniel Doughty. I am a Full Stack Developer with a focus in Ruby on Rails. I have been
programming since 2015, when I first fell in love with Ruby. Since I have started, I have built two web
applications that are currently being used in production.
Of the production/deployed applications I've individually developed, my most recent favorite
is a Shopify App. It connects Shopify store owners to an automated order fulfillment service.
Before that, I built & deployed a web application that is being used by a $1 billion company
that automates their supply chain communication between buyers and suppliers.

Configure > Access Control
Starting from version 2.1, H2O comes with a DSL-like mruby library which makes it easy to write access control list (ACL).
Example
Below example uses this Access Control feature to write various access control.
paths:
"/":
mruby.handler: |
acl {
allow { addr == "<IP_ADDRESS>" }
deny { user_agent.match(/curl/i) && ! addr.start_with?("192.168.") }
respond(503, {}, ["Service Unavailable"]) { addr == malicious_ip }
redirect("https://example.com/", 301) { path =~ /moved/ }
use Htpasswd.new("/path/to/.htpasswd", "realm") { path.start_with?("/admin") }
}
file.dir: /path/to/doc_root
In the example, the handler you get by calling acl
method will do the following:
- if the remote IP address is exactly equal to "<IP_ADDRESS>", the request will be delegated to the next handler (i.e. serve files under /path/to/doc_root) and all following acl settings are ignored
-
otherwise, if the user agent string includes "curl" and the remote IP address doesn't start with "192.168.", this handler immediately returns
403 Forbidden
response -
otherwise, if the remote IP address is exactly equal to the
malicious_ip
variable, this handler immediately returns503 Service Unavailable
response -
otherwise, if the request path matches with the pattern
/moved/i
, this handler immediately redirects the client to"https://example.com"
with301
status code -
otherwise, if the request path starts with
/admin
, apply Basic Authentication to the request (for details of Basic Authentication, see here). - otherwise, the request will be delegated to the next handler (i.e. serve files under /path/to/doc_root)
ACL Methods
An ACL handler is built by calling ACL methods, which can be used like directives.
ACL methods can only be used in acl
block.
Each ACL method adds a filter to the handler, which checks whether the request matches the provided condition or not. Every ACL method can be accompanied by a condition block, which should return boolean value.
The filter defined by the method that first matched the accompanying condition gets applied (e.g. response 403 Forbidden
, redirect to somewhere).
If a condition block is omitted, all requests matches.
If none of the conditions matches the request, the handler returns 399
and the request will be delegated to the next handler.
- Description:
-
Adds a filter which delegates the request to the next handler if the request matches the provided condition.
allow { ..condition.. }
- Description:
-
Adds a filter which returns
403 Forbidden
if the request matches the provided condition.deny { ..condition.. }
- Description:
-
Adds a filter which redirects the client if the request matches the provided condition.
redirect(location, status) { ..condition.. }
- Parameters:
-
- location
- Location to which the client will be redirected. Required.
- status
- Status code of the response. Default value: 302
- Description:
-
Adds a filter which returns arbitrary response if the request matches the provided condition.
respond(status, header, body) { ..condition.. }
- Parameters:
-
- status
- Status code of the response. Required.
- header
- Header key-value pairs of the response. Default value: {}
- body
- Body array of the response. Default value: []
- Description:
-
Adds a filter which applies the provided handler (callable object) if the request matches the provided condition.
use(proc) { ..condition.. }
- Parameters:
-
- proc
- Callable object that should be applied
Matching Methods
In a condition block, you can use helpful methods which return particular properties of the request as string values. Matching methods can only be used in a condition block of the ACL methods.
- Description:
-
Returns the remote IP address of the request.
addr(forwarded)
- Parameters:
-
- forwarded
- If true, returns the value of X-Forwarded-For header if it exists. Default value: true
- Description:
-
Returns the requested path string of the request.
path()
- Description:
-
Returns the HTTP method of the request.
method()
- Description:
-
Returns the header value of the request associated with the provided name.
header(name)
- Parameters:
-
- name
- Case-insensitive header name. Required.
- Description:
-
Shortcut for header("user-agent").

Caution
Several restrictions are introduced to avoid misconfiguration when using acl
method.
acl
method can be called only once in each handler configuration- If
acl
method is used, the handler returned by the configuration directive must be the one returned by theacl
method
For example, both of the following examples violate the restrictions above, so the server will refuse to start up.
paths:
"/":
mruby.handler: |
acl { # this block will be ignored!
allow { addr == "<IP_ADDRESS>" }
}
acl {
deny
}
file.dir: /path/to/doc_root
paths:
"/":
mruby.handler: |
acl { # this block will be ignored!
allow { addr == "<IP_ADDRESS>" }
deny
}
proc {|env| [399, {}, []}
file.dir: /path/to/doc_root
You can correct these like the following:
paths:
"/":
mruby.handler: |
acl {
allow { addr == "<IP_ADDRESS>" }
deny
}
file.dir: /path/to/doc_root
How-To
Matching IP Address Blocks
You can match an IP address against predefined list of address blocks using a script named trie_addr.rb.
Below is an example.
paths:
"/":
mruby.handler: |
require "trie_addr.rb"
trie = TrieAddr.new.add(["<IP_ADDRESS>/16", "<IP_ADDRESS>/12"])
acl {
allow { trie.match?(addr) }
deny
}
file.dir: /path/to/doc_root
This library currently supports only IPv4 addresses. TrieAddr#match?
returns false
when it receives an invalid IPv4 address (including an IPv6 address) as an argument..

CIA turned down critical Bin Laden files

The U.S. and U.K. both turned down an offer of a critical Sudanese
database on Bin Laden. According to a senior CIA source, "This represents

to say that had we had this data we may have had a better chance
of preventing the attacks."
