Kid MarketingChildren are like date rapists: they have to be told repeatedly that no means no. Because concepts like parental respect have grown so inexplicably abstract, the average preadolescent continues nagging his parents upwards of nine times for a desired product. Twelve and thirteen year olds -- the group most targeted by advertisers -- nag their parents more than fifty times, continuing their unrelenting campaigns of harassment for weeks at a time. Can we have a pool, dad? Can we have a pool, dad? When delivered by a parent, phrases like "no, we will not take you to Mount Splashmore" feel less like big red stop signs and more like invitations for continued debate. In children's marketing circles, this technique is referred to as pester power, or the Nag Factor -- not to be confused with the popular pornographic DVD franchise Gag Factor. The Initiative Media firm acknowledges that fifty percent of all toy purchases would never have been rung up in a million years had it not been for the sweet, wailing nags of a child. That's fifty percent across every conceivable category relating to children: toy purchases, trips to fast food restaurants, vacations to amusement parks -- even automotive sales. Car companies offering vehicles with DVD players aren't selling to mom and dad, they're delivering coded messages of nagging hope exclusively to the Spongebob set, those who can't last more than five minutes without audiovisual stimulation. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, nagging works best on four specific classes of parents: 1. Bare-Necessities Parents. Mom and dad (e.g. Frasier and Lilith Crane) are upscale and affluent, with a two-story house or greater, and at least two cars. One or both has a college degree and graduate work. They are intelligent, and on average more or less resistant to whining. The only successful nag will be the value-added "importance" nag under the guise of a more sophisticated motive. But I need it to finish my science experiment, or: I need to own the complete set of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. 2.  Typically they'll buy video games and Playstations as much for themselves as for their children, while everybody wanders around the house wearing Hello Kitty pajamas and planning a Renaissance fair.  If mom or dad are employed, pray they can cling to their tech support jobs. 3. Indulging Parents. (e.g. any parent you've seen on Intervention) Mom and dad are working class parents with very little time or extra spending money. Fast food and toys become transitory substitutes for love, discipline, or home-cooked meals together at the table. Here, nagging sends a message: my child needs something, and buying it will temporarily push away guilt. 4. Conflicted Parents. (e.g. any celebrity parent) Mom and dad have no idea what to buy for their kids, and actually find advertising a resource. At times, they have sneaking suspicions that they really shouldn't take their child to Chuck E. Cheese three times a week, but -- eh -- what are you gonna do. It happens, and it makes the nagging go away, at least for awhile. Cartoon characters serving as brand mascots provide a quick and easy band-aid to an otherwise uninspired youth label. Colonel Sanders raps and spits into a drumstick-shaped microphone about eleven herbs and spizices. Ronald McDonald pops and breakdances in circles around a freshly-scrubbed rainbow of multicultural children who sit there lovin' it. An updated, ostensibly "edgier" Bugs Bunny turns his baseball cap inside-out. Fat Albert's ringtone wants to know Where You At. Donald Duck sports ever-blingier ba-bling, and Mickey Mouse looks more and more like those Tasmanian Devil pimps you see in cheap tattoo parlors. Even Apple Computer's operating system is branded with a goddamn smiley face. Kids use icons, SMS shorthand and text messaging in lieu of more complicated concepts like complete words and sentences sculpted into structured conversation, and who better to push that agenda then a Trix rabbit clutching a Twix bar? Eightball cartoonist Daniel Clowes and Black Hole cartoonist Charles Burns lightly tiptoed into teen marketing on a global scale when they designed artwork for a line of Coca-Cola drinks. Named after the most recognized word in any language -- the second being "Coke" -- OK Soda was a short-lived brand keenly aimed at what passed for the "Generation X" demographic in early 1994. The brand was one of the earliest to capitalize on the idea that young people were -- what's the word? Disillusioned? Disenfranchised. Disaffected? How about disinterested. The labels were great, the soda was terrible, and less than a year later the cans were yanked from shelves. To this day, The OK Soda legacy remains one of the most transparent, desperate and ridiculous youth campaigns ever made by Big Cola. "Children nowadays are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers." -- Socrates, 425 B.C. Kid marketing?  Children aren't burdened with mortgages, rent, groceries or basic utilities -- unless mom or dad is makin' them pitch in. They're a highly lucrative market, with a spending power greater than the gross national product of countries like Finland, Portugal and Greece. Teen Research Unlimited is an Illinois marketing think tank which has interviewed over a million teenagers. They've conservatively estimated that teens in 2006 would spend upwards of $159 billion of their own money and their parents' money combined. Teens need jobs, but as a result of our upside-down economy, adult workers around the country are clinging desperately to all the decent entry-level service positions. Teenage unemployment is at an all time high, and rising gas prices means that while an unprecedented cache of teen dollars might be temporarily flowing directly into gas tanks, kids can't drive all the way to and from the Apple store as often as they'd like. Ninety-nine cents for a song?   Trash can. Weirdly, today's incoming crop of teens are reportedly devoted to bizarre concepts like God and their own mothers -- in that order. The number one reason couples remain in love is not that they like the same things -- but that they hate the same things. A brand wishing to successfully exploit a long-term relationship with a child must closely align itself with a similar premise. Find out what the kid hates, and then make fun of it. There is nothing more annoying to an avant-garde teen than being told he's on the cutting edge, as he genuinely believes himself to be one hundred percent self-alienated from the social strata. When a clothing company like Diesel embeds anti-advertising messages directly in its print and billboard campaigns, it represents a hackneyed paradoxical chestnut which young people haven't already seen a million times. When Benetton offers yearly catalogs "united in color" featuring cocky, self-confident bumper sticker platitudes about sex, religion, and racism alongside images of death-row inmates or handicapped children, kids don't immediately recognize that their clothing manufacturer is boldly "coming forward" in favor of something nobody ever needs to formulate an opinion about. The screaming scraps of press generated from these early examples of extreme-to-the-max slabs of kiddie content -- especially when a community of uptight parents gangbangs together in protest -- are ten times more valuable than the campaign itself. Gone are the days of adutainment or infomercials, as they've since been replaced by self-aware "controvercials". Calvin Klein claims credit for the most successful attempt at thumbing its nose at how square and backwards adults can be. In partnership with Warnaco, Inc., CK launched a billboard campaign in New York which featured semi-naked toddlers posing in tight underwear. Public outcry resulted in then-mayor Rudy Guiliani yanking the ads straight down -- a real triumph in "numerically measurable mainstream accessibility," to quote Channel 101 co-founder Dan Harmon. It's unclear how many toddlers who saw the CK ad were subsequently inspired to tart themselves up a little more. Okay, okay: the nag factor, the billions dollars' worth of anti-market research, the conspiratorial plots to seize and secure innocent young minds -- we get it. Big fuckin' deal and who cares. Tell us something we don't know. Indeed, the most disturbing marketing trend is what children's companies find themselves battling now: the duh factor. The segment of our population comprised of pre-adolescents up to and including age 14 (often referred to mockingly as the tween generation or Millenials) is rapidly losing their predisposition for creativity and imagination. LEGO, a company teetering precariously on the premise that kids want to be creative, has been struggling with exactly that conundrum for just over a decade. As recently as 1990, the standard box of LEGO bricks contained anywhere from 500 to 1000 pieces. Through sales research, focus groups and peer review, LEGO now believes such a set is way, way too complex. Let's dial it back a bit: not only do children not have the patience to gather together all the required parts for a castle, or boat, or car -- there isn't enough space in their tiny, ridiculous brains to previsualize long-term plans, imagine new forms, or create the requisite custom shapes. As a response to this trend, LEGO decreased the number of pieces in each box. Instead of grappling with a full one-hundred pieces to build that Kentucky Fried Chicken or Starbucks Coffee, now you only need ten. And look: these pre-fab green umbrella straws snap directly into the miniature espresso machine -- you don't even gotta build 'em. LEGO bricks have gotten bigger, as well: the size of each block in a set has increased steadily over time in direct proportion to your child's inability to manipulate his backwards, clumsy-ass ham hands. Who needs hours of unnecessarily complicated finger work when you're trying to develop your motor skills? Finally, the majority of "bricks" in today's LEGO kits have evolved exactly as Darwin intended: they're now shaped exactly like the cars, trees, humans, animals, ships, and rockets originally subject to interpretation by a kid's imagination. And which set of LEGO is right for you? Choose from styles like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Exoforce, Knight's Kingdom, Bionicle, and numerous other brandy-brands too depressing even to think about. It's only a matter of time before LEGO starts packaging their product directly inside the Happy Meal carton. The only thing more retarded might be those among us in pursuit of a LEGO Mindstorms hobby.  Lock him in a room with 10,000 single-cell plastic bricks, and don't let him out until he's successfully constructed the college of his choice. It's inevitable that all these trends in teen marketing continue uninterrupted, because there's no end in the word trend. Except of course at the end of the word trend. |

Tahith Chong addresses rumours he'll snub new Man Utd deal and leave on a free
Tahith Chong has reportedly stalled on signing a new contract at Manchester United and Juventus are ready to snap him up when his current deal expires
by Jake Polden, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/jake-polden/Tahith Chong has refused to confirm he will sign a new Manchester United contract, but insists his only focus is the Red Devils this season.
The 19-year-old winger is out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the campaign, and reports emerged last week that he is stalling on penning a new deal.
Juventus are keen on landing the talented youngster and are prepared to offer him a bumper deal - in the same way they did with Paul Pogba - to snap him up on a free.
And Chong has given United no assurances he will extend his stay at the club, saying his only focus right now is representing the Red Devils.
"It's early right now," Chong told FOX Sports. "I'm still a player of Manchester United and the season is in full swing. My focus is on that.
"The contract will come naturally. I am now focusing on this season."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was impressed by Chong during Manchester United's pre-season tour and opted against sending the youngster out on loan.
"To be honest, I can see them staying here and making a proper impact," explained the Red Devils boss.
"They have already, on pre-season, and they did so in February, March and April.
"They did well in training but we never gave them enough game time.
"Pre-season has shown they have grown over the last six months and they are getting used to men's football. They will get opportunities."

Paralympics: Australian cycling champion Modra killed in road collision
REUTERS: Five-time Paralympic gold medallist Kieran Modra has died after being hit by a car while riding his bike north of Adelaide on Wednesday.
The 47-year-old, who was visually impaired, collided with a car that was travelling in the same direction on a road near the town of Gawler, South Australia, local media reported.
"We are very saddened to hear of the passing of long-time supporter and friend of the RSB, Kieran Modra, in a cycling accident on Wednesday morning," Australia's Royal Society for the Blind said in a Facebook post.
"Our thoughts and condolences are with his wife Kerry and the Modra family at this difficult time."
Modra, a swimmer and tandem cyclist, claimed five gold and five bronze medals at eight Paralympic Games between 1988 and 2016, along with two silver medals at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

4DPop KeepIt is a snippets manager, these little bits of code or text that you reuse everywhere. In other words, this tool allows you to store pieces of code and reuse it when you need it by a simple keys combination, a drag and drop or a copy and paste.
The items stored are saved from one session to another and are accessible from all of the databases from the time the component is loaded.
One more thing… 4DPop KeepIt is very similar to macros 4D, but easier to use and especially more powerful.
| 1. | Place the folder "4DPop KeepIt.4dbase"* or an alias of it "Components" next to the 4D executable** so that the component will be loaded for all the databases |
| 2. | Open your database. |
| 3. | If the componant 4DPop is installed a new button "KeepIt" apears in the toolbar. It allows opening the editor.
If the componant 4DPop is not installed you must, to open the editor, create a method wich call the command KeepIt_tool |
*On Macintosh, the component is a package with extension ".4dbase" who is not necessarily visible according to the adjustabilitys of your preferences.
**On Macintosh, the Components folder is inside the 4D application package, at the root of the folder "Contents"
Select a snippet of code in the editor, drag it on the toolbar 4DPop and drop it on the button "KeepIt", at the prompt, enter a name for this new item and confirm. That's it!
In the editor, type "$$" + Tab. A popup menu appears, select the desired item and that's it ! Its content is pasted into the editor.
The snippets can contain tags which will be evaluated at the time of the use of the item. The tags are using the same syntax than the macros tags of 4D..

return in method one or the other line of comment depending on your response. |
*4DPop KeepIt does not treat the attribute "index" of the tag <clipboard>. This tag is generally replaced by the text contents of the clipboard at the time of the call.
*4DPop KeepIt accepts, for tag <date/>, the formats "y", "m" & "d" to display only the year, month or day. Are also accepted formats such as "y/m/d" in any order and with any character separator. Example "m-y" gives "1-2013" between 1/1/2013 and 31/1/2013. "©2009 - <date format="y"/>" will be replaced by "© 2009-2012" in 2012.
A click on the button "KeepIt" of the toolbar 4DPop, opens the KeepIt editor.
With the list, you can drag an item in the method editor or copy it to place its contents, after interpretation, in the clipboard.
There is a wizard for building most of these tags. To insert a tag in the macro, use the menu "Tags" and select the item you want. If necessary, the wizard helps you build the element according to your answers. Note: The hierarchical item "Result of method" lists the methods of your database that have the attribute "Shared by components and host database" checked. KeepIt accepts comments delimited by the sequence «/ * ... * /». All that is between «/*» and «*/» will be deleted from the text returned in the method editor but if there is tags, they will first be interpreted. Comments allow you to document your snippets. The first comment found in the macro is used as the text of the tooltip when the item is hovered in the list. In the absence of comment in the macro, the beginning of the text fragment is used as tooltip. Other tags (listed below) are used by KeepIt for doing a tokenization of the macro. That allows you to share fragments in a team where developers use a 4DUS or a 4DFR. You can tokeniser a snippet by selecting the corresponding item in the "Actions" menu Double-click on an item in the list to rename it. The right pane allows you to edit the text attached to an item. A context menu in the list is available to perform common actions. It is possible to export an item in a text document via the context menu item "Export ..." or by dragging the item on the desktop by holding down the Option on Mac or Alt on PC. In the second case the generated document is the name of the item being dragged. Conversely, it is possible to import the contents of a text document in a new snippet via the menu "Import ..." or by dropping a text document on the list of items. In the second case the item automatically takes the name of the document. |
|
KeepIt installs 3 macros when it is loading:
Name |
Shortcut |
Text entry |
|
KeepIt |
Cmd + "€"* |
$$ |
Display the selection menu item to insert. This method of activation, that is equivalent to type the text "$$" + Tab, has the advantage of preserving the mechanism of the tags <selection/> and <carret/> that are otherwise ignored. |
KeepIt = |
Cmd + "=" |
++ |
Calls the last snippet, without having to display the list and to select the item. |
KeepIt + |
Cmd + "±" |
This macro, called when text is selected in the Method Editor, proposes to create a new fragment. |
There is a shared method Keepit_get_item_by_name that can be used with your 4D macros. Placed between the element tags "<method>" and "</method>" with a name of a KeepIt's item as parameter, this method return the text associated to the named item. Consider for example a Keepit's item named "database_name" containing the text "<database_name/>". In a macro file, you can insert the name of the current database by including in your macro text: <method>Keepit_get_item_by_name ("database_name")</ method>.
This component is given in compiled version, but you will find the code source in the folder "Sources" inside the component folder.

OneJS is a tiny web framework.
OneJS enables you to build easily reusable web components. They can be self contained as a single JavaScript file that can be included via RequireJS AMD modules.
Benefits
- Small footprint. (8k minified, 5k gzipped)
- Start with just a view template, grow your control with a JavaScript view model when you're ready.
- Performance first, no fluffy parsing the DOM for bindings at runtime.
- No dependency on future browser standards, IE8 friendly.
- No dependencies on external libraries, works out of the box.
- Components written in MVVM pattern, forcing clean separation between presentation and logic.
- TypeScript used as an intermediate output to enforce static code analysis.
- Less css friendly.
- Localization friendly. Resources included as AMD modules, which can be remapped with RequireJS config.
- Selenium test automation friendly. Navigational TypeScript test stubs generated from views, so product changes break tests at build time rather than at runtime.
How it works:
You write a view template for your component:
Example
They compile to anything to you want. You can add your own generators here. Our default compiler pregenerates a TypeScript class, because we love static code analysis! Example:
TypeScript example here
...of course, the build system can continue to produce JavaScript:
JavaScript compiled output here
To use, you simply use RequireJS to load your main JavaScript:

When this code is compiled, the static int variableais spontaneously
initialized to it's default value of 0.
An instance of the class, initiated by the use of the new keyword
at line 4, is then automatically created. The creation of this (unassigned) instance is
modeled on the attributes of class Test' private default constructor
(at line 6).
A key attribute of the privatedefault constructor, is the
statement at line 8 that
assigns the value of the class' static
variable (at line 2) to the local variable of the constructor.
The final solution to this code
is that the System.out.println statement at line 9, returns 0
(i.e. the default value of the static variable a, declared at line 2).
Executing this code provides evidence that: 1) a
private access modifier can be used with a
constructor (in fact, using a private modifier is a way
to encapsulate a constructor), and 2) it is possible to
access a static member from a constructor.

This application is intended for use by the general staff and more specifically the facilities management department. The system provides a means to digitally record, track and process Mail request for delivery internally and externally at the Central bank. The Web Applicaiton generates barcodes as well and also provides SSRS reports to the Managers in the system.
The Mobile Applicaiton side of the platform is used by the porters to update the status of each mail request as well as providing a general tool for them to keep track of all the pickups and dropoofs in the system. The mobile applcation has a barcode scannning feature which makes it easier to identify the respective Mail records(request).
This application manipulated 3 properties of moving objects: speed, distance and time. The application used gps readings to track both the bus and a prospective passenger and determines what direction and the acceleration the passenger needs to catch the bus.
Also typical bus application features were included such as schedules of buses, current location of buses and users presented on google maps with relevant icons for map markers. Users also were alerted when a bus is in close proximity to the user and google firebase was used for storage.
As a Computer Scientist, it should be no surprise that I spend most of my time on the web. Reasearching new computing skiils, diving into history through watching documentaries, Sports and a few social media platforms, I am facinated by the World wide Web and its various stellar applications. I also compete for fun on hackkerank.com which is basically a website that host online Hackathons.
As for outdoors, Football and Swimming are my two greatest passions. I also enjoy watching football as well as various other sports.


Authentication is an essential part of most existing applications. There are a lot of different approaches, strategies, and ways to handle user authorization. What we eventually decide to use depends on the particular application requirements and is strongly associated with their needs.
Passport is the most popular node.js authentication library, well-known by community and successively used in many production applications. It's really simple to integrate this tool with Nest framework using dedicated passport utilities. For demonstration purposes, we'll set up both passport-http-bearer and passport-jwt strategy.
In order to start the adventure with this library we have to install all packages:
{{ dependencies }}
Firstly, we'll implement passport-http-bearer library.
Let's start from creating the AuthService
class that will expose a single method,
validateUser()
which responsibility is querying the user through provided bearer token.
{{ authService }}
{{ authServiceJs }}
The validateUser()
method takes token
as an argument. This token is extracted from Authorization
header that has been passed along with HTTP request.
The findOneByToken()
method's responsibility is to validate if passed token truly exists and is associated with any registered account in the database.
Once AuthService
is done, we have to create a corresponding strategy that passport will use to authenticate requests.
{{ httpStrategy }}
{{ httpStrategyJs }}
The HttpStrategy
uses AuthService
to validate the token.
When the token is valid, passport allows further request processing. Otherwise, the user receives 401 (Unauthorized)
response.
Afterward, we can create the AuthModule
.
{{ authModule }}
{{ authModuleJs }}
Hint In order to make use ofUsersService
, theAuthModule
importsUsersModule
. The internal implementation is unimportant here.
Then, you can simply use the AuthGuard
wherever you want to enable the authentication.
{{ useGuards }}
Hint TheAuthGuard
is exposed from@nestjs/passport
package.
The bearer
is a name of the strategy that passport will make use of.
Also, the AuthGuard
accepts a second argument, options
object that you are able to pass in order to determine the passport behavior.
A second described approach is to authenticate endpoints using a JSON web token (JWT).
Firstly, let's focus on AuthService
class.
We need to switch from the token validation to a payload-based validation logic as well as provide a way to create a JWT token for the particular user which then could be used to authenticate the incoming request.
{{ authServiceJwt }}
{{ authServiceJwtJs }}
Hint In a best-case scenario the
jwt
package and token configuration (secret key and expiration time) should be registered as
custom providers.
In order to simplify an example, we created a fake user.
Also, the expiration time and secretKey
are hardcoded (in a real-world application you should rather consider using environment variables).
The second step is to create a corresponding JwtStrategy
.
{{ jwtStrategy }}
{{ jwtStrategyJs }}
The JwtStrategy
uses AuthService
to validate the decoded payload.
When the payload is valid (user exists), passport allows further request processing. Otherwise, the user receives 401 (Unauthorized)
response.
Afterward, we can move to the AuthModule
.
{{ authModuleJwt }}
{{ authModuleJwtJs }}
Hint In order to make use ofUsersService
, theAuthModule
importsUsersModule
. The internal implementation is unimportant here.
Then, you can simply use the AuthGuard
wherever you want to enable the authentication.
{{ useGuardsJwt }}
Hint TheAuthGuard
is exposed from@nestjs/passport
package.
The jwt
is a name of the strategy that passport will make use of.
Also, the AuthGuard
accepts a second argument, options
object that you are able to pass in order to determine the passport behavior.

THE FOURTH PROTOCOL A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1987 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: Pierce Brosnan is a Soviet agent and Michael Caine is a British agent trying to track him down. This is a good "spy-procedure" sort of thriller that is just a bit too much like Frederick Forsyth's previous DAY OF THE JACKAL.
Frederick Forsyth writes good suspense stories about political intrigue. He is best known for THE DAY OF THE JACKAL and THE ODESSA FILE. They are clearly written and tense thrillers, though if the truth be known, there is a certain sameness about them. While there are major consequences to what is happening, his stories really come down to a sort of chessgame between two men, one good and one evil. Nobody else is really important in the story. Just about everyone else is a prop. THE FOURTH PROTOCOL is a new film based on a novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth.
 We see how the assassin works and thinks. We also see a police investigator, one who is not altogether popular with his superiors, and we see how he is able to discover an amazing amount of information about the assassin.  With minor substitutions, we have the same story here. Instead of a political extremist group, we have a rogue general in Soviet intelligence. The general sends a sort of assassin, Petrofsky (played by Pierce Brosnan), to head up an operation in Britain. Trying to uncover the operation is John Preston, played by an aging Michael Caine. Preston takes his orders these days from an officious supervisor played by Julian Glover, who seems to make a career of playing unlikeable officials (including Breen in FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH). Only this time, the assassin's mission is not to kill a single man.
THE FOURTH PROTOCOL is solidly acted with Caine a likeable if independent-minded agent. Pierce Brosnan is not very good at showing emotion, but as emotionless killers he is just fine. There are a host of other familiar faces including, I think (and someone can correct me if I am wrong), the same actor who plays Max Headroom, in this film playing an obnoxious American. As suspense films go, THE FOURTH PROTOCOL is not the most cerebral, but it is several cuts about American suspense films like BEVERLY HILLS COP. Give it a low +2 on the -4 to +4 scale.

VR is the natural evolution for the Dance Central games. After all, they were some of the first motion control games, so it makes sense for them to go to full-body motion too. The music they have in the game sounds excellent, but boy-o, am I going to do poorly at this one.
Western styles: Dead and Buried II
Billed as a VR paintball game, Dead and Buried II improves on the original and looks to be an excellent game for the Quest. It could be one of the arena games as well, so watch out for that.

HAProxy dynamically adjust server weight using external agent
Trying to utilize HAProxy-1.5/1.6 agent-check
feature, see HAProxy documentation, I wrote this small script to check Tomcat system load and return back some values that HAP can use to dynamically adjust the server weight in the backend.
This will run as xinetd service on the Tomcats, for example made available to HAP on port 9707 (some randomly chosen free port).
Explanation how is this going to work. Each server starts with weight of 100. This health check will run every 5 minutes lets say (the primary runs every 10 seconds) and the agent will return "up" plus weight value or "down" upon heath check. The weight percentage returned is calculated based on the system load in the last 5 minutes (can be 1 or 15 min. too), ie if load is below 90% it will return weight of 100, between 90% and 100% it will reduce the weight to 50% (meaning HAP will send only 25% of the connections to this server in case of 2 servers) and if 100% it will mark this server down.
This additional, lets call it secondary, heath check will work in conjunction with the already existing one, which only checks if the service is up or down, and provide flexibility in terms of backend load.
Setup
On the backends (Tomcat app servers)
Create agent-check script /usr/local/bin/haproxy-agent-check
:
#!/bin/bash
LMAX=90
load=$(uptime | grep -E -o 'load average[s:][: ].*' | sed 's/,//g' | cut -d' ' -f3-5)
cpus=$(grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l)
while read -r l1 l5 l15; do {
l5util=$(echo "$l5/$cpus*100" | bc -l | cut -d"." -f1);
[[ $l5util -lt $LMAX ]] && echo "up 100%" && exit 0;
[[ $l5util -gt $LMAX ]] && [[ $l5util -lt 100 ]] && echo "up 50%" && exit 0;
echo "down#CPU overload";
}; done < <(echo $load)
exit 0
Set it to be executable:
root@app21:~# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/haproxy-agent-check
Next we set it as xinetd service, first install xinetd:
root@app21:~# aptitude install -y xinetd
Then add our service to the system services in /etc/services
file:
...
haproxy-agent-check 9707/tcp # haproxy-agent-check
...
Create the xinetd daemon file /etc/xinetd.d/haproxy-agent-check
:
# default: on
# description: haproxy-agent-check
service haproxy-agent-check
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
port = 9707
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/local/bin/haproxy-agent-check
log_on_failure += USERID
only_from = <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
per_source = UNLIMITED
}
To allow access from specific subnets instead of hosts we can use the following format:
only_from = <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
Make it executable, restart xinetd and test:
root@app21-hap:~# chmod +x /etc/xinetd.d/haproxy-agent-check
root@app21-:~# service xinetd restart
root@app21:~# telnet <IP_ADDRESS> 9707
Trying <IP_ADDRESS>...
Connected to <IP_ADDRESS>.
Escape character is '^]'.
up 100%
Connection closed by foreign host.
All looks good so we can setup the HAP's now.
On the HAProxy LB's
Open the TCP port 9707 in the APP servers firewall and Test the agent-check connectivity from HAP serers to the app servers:
root@lb1:~# telnet ip-172-31-17-41 9707
Trying <IP_ADDRESS>...
Connected to ip-172-31-17-41.ap-southeast-2.compute.internal.
Escape character is '^]'.
up 100%

And reload HAP service. Check the health status:
root@lb1:~# echo "show stat" | socat stdio unix-connect:/run/haproxy/admin.sock | cut -d ',' -f1,2,18,19 | grep https
https-in,ip-172-31-17-41,UP,100
https-in,ip-172-31-11-41,UP,100
https-in,localhost,no check,1
https-in,BACKEND,UP,200
We can see the weight of both app servers is set to 100 atm but this should change if/when they come under high load for 5 minutes.

M10: Concentration of DNS Resolver services
-
The M10 metrics analyze the concentration of DNS Resolver services. It defines a submetric
per country, using the code "M10.XX.*" for the country
code "XX". In addition to providing data for actual countries such as "DE" or "US",
the metric also includes aggregate worlwide data using the pseudo country code "ZZ".
(See the About M10 page for details.)
For each country, the following data are provided:
-
M10.XX.1: share of DNS queries served by Open DNS services,
-
M10.XX.2: share of DNS queries served DNS services in the same country, excluding Open DNS services,
-
M10.XX.3: share of DNS queries served DNS services in a different country, excluding Open DNS services,
-
M10.XX.4: share of DNS queries served by specific Open DNS services, with one entry per service.
-
M10.XX.5: number of query samples collected when evaluating country code "XX"
The Summary Data section lists the key data for all country codes.
The Focus section provides details on the country selected via
the following option list.
Blah, blah.
