[source]¶ Bases:
object
Log benchmarking times.
This decorator will log the time of execution (benchmark_time) to the app.log file. It can be helpful in troubleshooting performance issues with Apps.
1 2 3 4 5
import time @Benchmark() def my_method(): time.sleep(1)
-
class
tcex.decorators.app_decorators.
Debug
[source]¶ Bases:
object
Debug function inputs.
This decorator will log the inputs to the function to assist in debugging an App.
1 2 3
@Debug() def my_method(arg1, args2): print(arg1, arg2)
-
class
tcex.decorators.app_decorators.
FailOnInput
(enable, values, msg, arg=None)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Fail App if input value conditions are met.
This decorator allows for the App to exit on conditions defined in the function parameters.
1 2 3
@FailOnInput(enable=True, values=[None, ''], msg='Invalid input provided.', arg=None) def my_method(data): return data.lowercase()
-
class
tcex.decorators.app_decorators.
FailOnOutput
(enable, values, msg)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Fail App if return value (output) value conditions are met.
This decorator allows for the App to exit on conditions defined in the function parameters.
1 2 3 4 5
@FailOnOutput( arg='fail_on_false', values=['false'], msg='Operation returned a value of "false".' ) def my_method(data): return data.lowercase()
-
class
tcex.decorators.app_decorators.
IterateOnArg
(arg, default=None, fail_on=None)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Iterate on values stored in
self.args
namespace.This decorator will iterate over all value of the supplied arg and return results. This feature is helpful when processing a single value (String) or array of values (StringArray). If the App was provided the arg
self.args.colors
with a value of['blue', 'green', 'magenta']
, then this decorator would call the function 3 times. Each call to the function would pass one value from the array. The return values are stored and returned all at once after the last value is processed.1 2 3 4
# the args value of "colors" refers to ``self.args.colors``. @iterateOnArgs(arg='colors') def my_method(value): return value
-
class
tcex.decorators.app_decorators.
OnException
(msg=None)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Set exit message on failed execution.
This decorator will catch the generic “Exception” error, log the supplied error message, set the “exit_message”, and exit the App with an exit code of 1.
1 2 3
@OnException(msg='Failed to process JSON data.') def my_method(json_data): json.dumps(json_data)
-
class
tcex.decorators.app_decorators.
OnSuccess
(msg=None)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Set exit message on successful execution.
This decorator will set the supplied msg as the App “exit_message”. Typically and App would only have 1 exit message so this decorator would typically be used in App that used “actions”.
1 2 3
@OnSuccess(msg='Successfully processed JSON data.') def my_method(json_data): json.dumps(json_data)
-
class
tcex.decorators.app_decorators.
Output
(attribute)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Store the method return value in self.<attribute>.
This decorator will write, append, or extend the methods return value to the App attribute provided in the
attribute
input. Theattribute
must first be defined in the__init__()
method of the App before the decorator is used.1 2 3 4 5 6 7
def __init__(self, _tcex): super(App, self).__init__(_tcex) self.output_strings = [] # Output decorator writes here. @Output(attribute='output_strings') def my_method(data): return data.lowercase()
-
class
tcex.decorators.app_decorators.
ReadArg
(arg, array=False, default=None, fail_on=None)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Read value of App arg resolving any playbook variables.
This decorator will read the args from Redis, if it is a playbook variable, and pass the resolved value to the function.
1 2 3
@ReadArg(arg='color') def my_method(color): print('color', color)
-
class
tcex.decorators.app_decorators.
WriteOutput
(key, variable_type, value=None, overwrite=True)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Write the App output variables to Redis.
This decorator will take the functions return value and write the data to Redis using the key and variable_type. An optional hard coded value can be passed, which will override the return value. If multiple value are provided for the same output variable there is an option to overwrite the previous value.
This decorator is intended for very simple Apps. Using the write_output() method of the App template is the recommended way of writing output data.
1 2 3
@WriteOutput(key='color', variable_type='String') def my_method(color): return color.lowercase()

Hi,
Firstly let me apologise if this has already been addressed, I did search but could not find the answer.
Secondly let me introduce myself. My name is Ivan and I have been an engineer in the computer and electronics industry for just short of forty years.
About 10 months ago I had a 16 panel, 4.5kW setup installed on my almost south facing roof. It appears to be working well, generating up to around 20kWh per day (weather has not been the best). At the beginning of this year I ordered the emonTx v3, emonBase and emonGLCD etc and after a bit of work and use of search on here got it all up and running fairly well.
Until BST (daylight savings) happened!
After a lot more work and searching I have got it running once again, with the exception of kWh/d. There is something weird going on. The kWh feed looks fine but the kWhd feed shows the 2.2 kWhs from yesterday and not the 18 kWhs so far today.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Ivan
Re: Emoncms kWhd Problems
I have similar problem after adding a kWh/d feed to an existing realtime feed.
The 'value' looks OK (5.93kWh) but the bar graph doesn't, 11.3kWh, same as 1st day's reading.
The only difference between this new addition & previous kWhd feeds is the 'Engine'; previous 2 kWhd Engines are MYSQL & the new feed's Engine is PHPTIMESERIES, if that is relevant.
Any suggestions would be welcomed
Chris

Utah officials weigh ideas to ease congestion on canyon road
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The Utah Department of Transportation will begin assessing a wide array of ideas to ease traffic on a canyon road that leads up to some of the state’s most popular and well-known ski resorts, including gondolas, a rail line, buses, and wider roads and more parking lots.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the agency released an overview of the plan Monday that marks the latest step in a study about congestion in the Little Cottonwood Canyon that began in 2017 after lawmakers passed legislation to formally address the issue.
The narrow canyon, home to renowned ski resorts Alta and Snowbird, has only one road that is two lanes most of the way. About 2.1 million people visit the canyon each year, with most coming during winter.
After big snowstorms, cars full of skiers and snowboarders anxious to get in a “powder day” lead to bumper-to-bumper traffic in spots up a road that is about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the mount of the canyon to Alta.
The legislature has allocated $66 million for improvements.
The high avalanche danger in the canyon complicates the congestion because there’s frequent avalanche control work that needs to be done.
One idea is to build sheds over several stretches of the highway that are slide paths when snow comes onto the road when officials purposely triggers avalanches in preventative work. That would allow cars to travel underneath the sheds.
The options that would focus on facilitating passage for more cars are already triggering concerns.
“They are not looking at how we can deliver people to the base of Little and Big Cottonwood canyons without their vehicles,” said Carl Fisher, executive director of Save Our Canyons. “The mobility issues are all caused by the number of cars, and they are not trying to figure out how to have not so many cars. They are looking at how to accommodate those cars.”
John Thomas, the lead planner on the project for the Utah said they have an open mind about possible solutions.
“We are not promoting more private vehicles. We are trying to find ways to get more people up there in fewer vehicles,” Thomas said. “I’ve said it 100 times before and I’ll keep saying it because it represents a shift in our department. There’s a recognition that times have changed. Our attitudes are directly aligned with improving quality of life through mobility.”

# Get config/feature values config_data --module Foo::Bar --feature bazzable config_data --module Foo::Bar --config magic_number
# Set config/feature values config_data --module Foo::Bar --set_feature bazzable=1 config_data --module Foo::Bar --set_config magic_number=42
# Print a usage message config_data --help
The config_data
tool provides a command-line interface to the
configuration of Perl modules. By "configuration", we mean something
akin to "user preferences" or "local settings". This is a
formalization and abstraction of the systems that people like Andreas
Koenig (CPAN::Config
), Jon Swartz (HTML::Mason::Config
), Andy
Wardley (Template::Config
), and Larry Wall (perl's own Config.pm)
have developed independently.
The configuration system employed here was developed in the context of
Module::Build
. Under this system, configuration information for a
module Foo
, for example, is stored in a module called
Foo::ConfigData
) (I would have called it Foo::Config
, but that
was taken by all those other systems mentioned in the previous
paragraph...). These ...::ConfigData
modules contain the
configuration data, as well as publicly accessible methods for
querying and setting (yes, actually re-writing) the configuration
data. The config_data
script (whose docs you are currently
reading) is merely a front-end for those methods. If you wish, you
may create alternate front-ends.
The two types of data that may be stored are called config
values
and feature
values. A config
value may be any perl scalar,
including references to complex data structures. It must, however, be
serializable using Data::Dumper
. A feature
is a boolean (1 or
0) value.
This script functions as a basic getter/setter wrapper around the
configuration of a single module. On the command line, specify which
module's configuration you're interested in, and pass options to get
or set config
or feature
values. The following options are
supported:
Specifies the name of the module to configure (required).
When passed the name of a feature
, shows its value. The value will
be 1 if the feature is enabled, 0 if the feature is not enabled, or
empty if the feature is unknown. When no feature name is supplied,
the names and values of all known features will be shown.
When passed the name of a config
entry, shows its value. The value
will be displayed using Data::Dumper
(or similar) as perl code.
When no config name is supplied, the names and values of all known
config entries will be shown.
Sets the given feature
to the given boolean value. Specify the value
as either 1 or 0.
Sets the given config
entry to the given value.
If the --eval
option is used, the values in set_config
will be
evaluated as perl code before being stored. This allows moderately
complicated data structures to be stored. For really complicated
structures, you probably shouldn't use this command-line interface,
just use the Perl API instead.
Prints a help message, including a few examples, and exits.

Scotiabank wage settlement in sight
THE threat of industrial action by unionised workers employed to Scotia Group has been withdrawn as the parties move close enough to an agreement on pay increases, which could be settled by weekend.
The Bustamante Industrial Trade Union (BITU), which represents the workers, has already started a round of consultations with members, which is expected to lead to a settlement by Friday and the possibility of signing a new agreement by next week.
The company's latest offer was not released but, according to BITU President Senator Kavan Gayle, the union is finally in a position where it can go to the workers with something tangible.
“We now have something we think we can recommend to the workers, so we are communicating with them this week,” Senator Gayle said yesterday.
The union and the workers had rejected an offer of 4.5 per cent increase in the first year of a proposed new two-year agreement, and a further four per cent in the second year, and are demanding increases of nine per cent and 8.5 per cent, instead.
The union has been resisting the increase which is based on current inflation rates, noting that the bank made a profit of $9.8 billion while reducing staff and redirecting services, which placed undue burdens on the workers.
Scotia Group Jamaica President and CEO David Noel late last year said that the bank is becoming more customer focused, and has highlighted data showing that customers are leveraging its digital platforms to transact their banking business.
However, since the announcement, the proposed closure of its historic King Street branch last November to accommodate a $40- million refurbishing project, merging its operations into that of the Scotia Centre, Duke Street. The project has been stalled by several months, resulting in a slowdown of operations at King Street which is now accommodating the staff and customers from both branches, instead.

--- creation_epoch:<PHONE_NUMBER> lastmod_epoch:<PHONE_NUMBER> categories: Security title: Google domain phishing weakness ---
Found a low-risk phishing weakness with a Google domain (googleapis.com). Even though it is related to phishing and doesn't have an OWASP Top 10 vulnerability (i.e. XSS) I thought it worth reporting to Google to see if they might consider a technical measure to at least stop it.
fonts.googleapis.com could be considered a trusted domain by users. It is possible to add arbituary text input (no html) into the page as an error message to the user. Adding some emoji unicode characters causes the page to look more scary and legit to an unsuspecting victim. An example image of what the malicious page looks like on an Android mobile device:
The URL I used was:
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?directory=3&family=view_html_source
| Nov 17, 2017 | Reported issue to Google with details. Issue # 69462781 |
| Nov 22, 2017 | Vendor responds that this is Intended Behavior and not considered a security bug. |
| Nov 27, 2017 | Public blog post |
We've investigated your submission and made the decision not to track it as a security bug. It will also not be accepted as part of our VRP. Only first reports of technical security vulnerabilities that substantially affect the confidentiality or integrity of our users' data are in scope, and unfortunately we feel the issue you mention does not meet that bar :(
Reflecting text in a web application or an e-mail message is a known issue with too little practical impact, if the resulting text/HTML is sanitized and allows only for a limited formatting (e.g. XSS is not possible).
Please read here for our rationale for this issue: https://sites.google.com/site/bughunteruniversity/nonvuln/limited-content-reflection-or-content-spoofing
If you think we've misunderstood, please do let us know!
I stated in my initial report that I also thought it was a low-risk/severity issue. I did recommend: "Limit the url param echoed text on the page to only 10 characters or don't show it at all. (If needed for debug require a "Details..." button to show the content or even base64 encode it so only a developer who knows what base64 is will decode it outside of their web browser anyway.)"
Because the domain may be more trusted it would have been nice to see the message text limited. I think it is really only meant for developers who are debugging anyway. It would at least reduce opportunity for phishing attacks, but it is Google's decision on what to prioritize.


A Control-Theoretic Approach to Scheduling of Semiconductor Fabrication
Processes
K.S. Tsakalis and D.E. Rivera
Supported by the INTEL Research Council
INTEL Sponsor: Karl Kempf
In close collaboration with A.A. Rodriguez and M. Kawski; see Modelling and Robust
Control of Re-Entrant Semiconductor Fabrication Facilities: Design of Low-Level
Decision Policies
Abstract
The objective of this project is to employ systematic methods from systems
and control theory in the modeling, analysis and controller design for the
scheduling of semiconductor manufacturing operations. A key component is the
understanding of the scheduling problem complexity induced by presence of
nonlinear dynamics (re-entry, batching, machine set-ups, multiple products,
preventive maintenance etc.)
The basic framework of our modeling and controller design approach is
the natural time-scale decomposition associated with the various decision
levels. At a fast time-scale, decisions are made regarding the assignment
of resources, operation of individual machines, release of material into
the production line, maintenance etc. At a slower time-scale, one is concerned
with the average characteristics of production and the overall optimization
of the fab operation. An advantage of this modeling approach lies in its
ability to bring in control-theoretic concepts of uncertainty description,
model aggregation, assessment of closed-loop model fidelity etc. Furthermore,
the decomposition of the control problem in terms of slow and fast time-scales
can allow for a scalable and more efficient exploitation of structural system
properties. Inner-loop controllers, operating on a fast time-scale, can take
into account the process nonlinear dynamics and define operating trajectories
that trade-off variability minimization, cycle-time minimization and throughput
maximization in a locally optimal way. On the other hand, outer-loop controllers
operate in a slow time-scale and can optimize the average production behavior
more efficiently, by taking into account low-frequency variabilities, e.g.,
preventive maintenance.
The focus of this project is on the design of outer-loop scheduling policies
(slow time-scales) while inner-loop (fast time-scale) considerations are addressed
in the related project.

PRUSSIA COVE AND SMUGGLERS' HOLES
SMUGGLERS' hiding-places (now, of course, unused) are numerous. On the banks of the Helford river are several, and two or three have lately been discovered on the coast about St Keverne by the falling in of their roofs. In a part of Penzance harbour, nine years ago, a hiding-place of this kind was discovered; it still contained one or two kegs, and the skeleton of a man, with his clothes in good preservation. It is presumed that the poor fellow while intoxicated was shut in, and the place never more opened by his companions. Speaking of Penzance,--about fifty years since, in the back of the harbour, was an old adit called "Gurmer's Hole," and in the cliff over its entrance, on a dark night, a phosphorescent appearance was always visible from the opposite side. It could not be seen from beneath, owing to the projection of the face of the cliff. A fall of the part taking place, the phenomenon disappeared.
Sixty or seventy years since, a native of Breage called" Carter," but better known, from a most remarkable personal resemblance to Frederick the Great, as the "King of Prussia," monopolised most of the smuggling trade of the west. By all accounts he was a man of uncommon mental power, and chose as the seat of his business a sequestered rocky cove about two miles east of Marazion, which continues to bear the name of " Prussia Cove," and where deep channels, cut in hard rock, to allow of the near approach of their boats, still show the determination of the illicit traders. Although constantly visited by the excise officers, the "king" rarely failed to remove his goods, the stocks of which were at times very large, suffering for a long period comparatively little from "seizures." On one occasion his boats, while landing a cargo, being hard pressed by the revenue cutter, Carter had some old cannon brought to the edge of the cliff and opened fire on the unwelcome intruder, and after a short but sharp engagement, fairly beat her off. The cutter was, of course, back again early in the morning, and part of the crew, with the captain, landed; the only traces, however, of the engagement to be seen was the trampled ground. On approaching Carter's house, the officer was met by the "king" himself, with an angry remonstrance about practising the cutter's guns at midnight so near the shore, and disturbing his family at such unseemly hours. Although the principal parties concerned were well known, no evidence could be obtained, and the matter was allowed to drop. Toward the close of his career Carter "ventured" in larger ships, became less successful, and was at last exchequered. He died, at a very advanced age, in poor circumstances.


FREEWAY (director/writer: Matthew Bright; cinematography: John Thomas; editor: Maysie Hoy; cast: Reese Witherspoon (Vanessa Lutz), Kiefer Sutherland (Bob Wolverton), Brooke Shields (Mimi Wolverton), Amanda Plummer (Ramona), Dan Hedaya (Detective Wallace), Wolfgang Bodison (Detective Breer), Bokeem Woodbine (Chopper), Michael T. Weiss (Larry (stepdad)), 1996)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
An amusingly exploitive "B" movie by writer-director Matthew Bright (Guncrazy screenwriter) about a white trash family and their abused teenage daughter, Vanessa Lutz (Reese Witherspoon), who goes on the run rather than go back to a foster-care shelter when her mother and stepfather are arrested.
"Freeway" plays with the "Little Red Riding Hood" fairy tale motif to make it fit into modern-day California and its plethora of dysfunctional families. Little Red Riding Hood is none other than the resourceful Reese who is up against a serial killer wolf (Keifer Sutherland as Bob Wolverton), while going to see a grandma she has never met and doesn't know that she is coming to see her, who lives north of Reese in Stockton. Grandma represents an ideal for the troubled girl, who has a long juvenile arrest record and faces a bleak present, never mind her bleak future.
The film opens as Vanessa is in her special education class and pathetically can't read the sentence on the board "The cat drinks milk."She kisses her black boyfriend Chopper (Bokeem) after class and when she arrives home the police come into her parents' motel room and inform her that her mother (Amanda Plummer) has been arrested for prostitution and possession of drugs. Soon her stepfather (Michael T. Weiss) is arrested for parole violation because of the drugs in the apartment. Rather than go back to the children's shelter, she cuffs the welfare care worker, assigned to her case, by the ankles to the bed, steals her car, says goodbye to Chopper and gets a gun from him as a parting gift, and heads for the freeway and grandma's house.
On the freeway her car breaks down. Bob stops to help her and by not showing her his sharp teeth, he seems to come off as being a nice man. He tells her the car she's in has had it, and offers her a ride to Los Angeles, while telling her that he is a counselor for emotionally disturbed boys and willingly listens to her tale of woe.  Evidently, no one has ever listened to her before and she feels good until Bob starts wanting to know about the explicit sex she had with her stepfather, and she smells a wolf. Bob turns out to be a serial killer, who has been in the local news, wanted for killing a number of prostitutes on the freeway, where he is known as the I-5 killer. After he pulls a razor blade on her and cuts her ponytail and calls her the kind of slut that he must kill, she pulls a gun on him and when he tells her to let him go but take his money, that no one would believe her word over his, she gives him one more chance to redeem himself. But, he refuses to take Jesus as his Lord and personal Savior, as she requests, so she sprays him with bullets.
She is arrested for attempted murder when she enters the diner all covered in blood and the diner staff call the police. The disfigured Bob makes it barely alive to the hospital and fingers her as the culprit, when the police question him. He becomes the source of parody, as the doctors piece him back together, whereby he can't talk clearly, looks grotesque, and has holes in his throat so that when he smokes, the smoke can be seen coming out of his throat.
She tells the two detectives who question her exactly what happened. But, of course, they do not believe her. When she calls Chopper, she finds out that he had been shot by drug dealers. So, she enters a juvenile detention facility, accepting what happened to her without any noticeable signs of depression, even laughing at the victim during her absurd trial. A trial that makes chop-suey of how the establishment conducts their business, where usually the best story heard in a case wins the decision. She didn't come up with the best story -- that takes money and a smart but sleazy lawyer to handle the case.
The prison scenes were over-the-top, trashy, and fun to watch, as the director did not care a damn about drama or plot. The film shoots for tongue-in-cheek humor in the interactions between characters and also it aims to cast some black humor on the social hypocrisies of the welfare, judicial, and penal systems. As satire, this film is tops. It was excessive, but it had enough bite in it to do some damage. Reese Witherspoon's performance was contagious, watching her cut-up, act-tough, be vulnerable, and drop comic lines with a natural ease, and all the time, the film had the feel of being noir, even though it was really satire. It had enough toughness in it to be viewed as a thought provoking film, when the action cleared and the cartoonish-type of laughs emanating from the veggie-like characters died down.
The film had a lot of little things going for it, that added up to big plusses. The film's opening credits had the Grimm fairy tale story of Little Red Riding Hood depicted in its cartoon drawings. The Brooke Shield's role of the righteously indignant wife of the killer, was a satisfying part for "The Blue Lagoon" girl, as she shows how she has matured as an actress. It should also be noted, that the detective partners, one white (Dan Hedaya) and the other black (Wolfgang Bodison), show how prejudicial they can be when investigating a crime. It is not until after the black officer finds that Reese is a coal-burner (one who goes out with blacks), that he goes out to the scene of the crime and investigates the case the way he is supposed to.
Freeway has the look of a crazed fable, as bulky onscreen figures are made to look less imposing at each impending scene and the vulnerable ones either die or get stronger just by surviving amidst such violent chaos.The film draws to its inevitable conclusion- of blood and gore, despair and muted hope, and the irrelevancy of the 1990s in trendy California, which can be seen as a failed center-piece for social change. The film's sordid family scenario, leaves its sensationalized news stories mockingly imprinted on the airwaves, depicting how sad life is and how cartoon-like are the players, left to their own vanities, frolicking in an artificial landscape of alienation and violent gestures. This is the imperfect teenager fairy tale for the 1990s, for those living out their pop culture dream without weighing what that culture means, and where for the young bored-with-life students, reading and writing cannot replace loud music and drugs.

Engr. Paul O. Otobo Pretoria South Africa. Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Dear Sir, It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. Your information were given to me by a member of the South African Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) who was with the Black Economic Empowerment Commission (Government) delegation on a trip to the United States during a bilateral conference talk to encourage foreign investors. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in execution of a deal hereunder for the benefit of all parties, and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this business. Within the Department of Mining Resources where I work as the Director of Project Implementation, with co-operation of two other top officials, we have in our possession, an overdue payment in US funds. The said funds represent certain percentage of the contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$41,500,000.00 (Forty One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed. The Government of the Republic of South Africa believe that private investment in general, and foreign direct investment in particular, are the real engines for sustainable economic development, for which reason it has continued to encouraged investment in the key growth-oriented sector of Mining with sincere determination to pay foreign contractors all debts owed to them, so as to continue to enjoy close relationship, and mutually beneficial co-operation with foreign governments and non-governmental financial agencies. As a result we included our bills for approvals with the co-operation of some officials at the Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of South Africa (RBSA). We are seeking your assistance to be the beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate foreign account. The changing of beneficiary's information/ details and other forms of documentation upon application for claim to reflect the contract money and its approvals will be secured on behalf of your company or your self. I have the authority of my colleagues involved to propose that, should you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be 20% while my colleagues and I shall receive 70%, and the balance of 10% shall be used to reimburse all expenditures, taxes and miscellaneous expenses so incurred. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of the nature described here. The assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies and firms of unrelated fields win major contracts, and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution. This business itself is 100% safe, provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality. Also your specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this mutual beneficiary transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us. Kindly notify me for further details, upon your acceptance of this proposal.Pls send all correspondence to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Regards, Engr Paul O. Otobo. potobo3@netscape.net

Pairing and Feedback
Pair On!
So far, pairing has been a positive experience for me overall. On one hand, I've learned a lot from other people's problem-solving approaches, especially when they differ from my own. On the other hand, it has forced me to confront my own insecurities, especially since I have to put my lack of knowledge on full display at times. And it's not only the 'putting my ignorance on display' thing that is unsettling; I think it's also the fear that I'm bringing my partner down because I'm not able to contribute more. It's a sense of vulnerability that I know I just need to get comfortable with.
The aspect of pairing that I've found most rewarding is when my pair and I are communicating well and exchanging ideas freely. For me it's less about getting the right answer than it is about jiving well and collaborating to learn and explore ideas. So I think good communication and a good, positive dynamic are at the top of the list for me. When my pair and I have different ideas/approaches and we're able to effectively communicate them to one another, it's especially rewarding.
On the flip side, when ideas are not freely moving back and forth, it can be somewhat frustrating at times. But even in those situations, there's a great opportunity for a positive outcome. In my case, fortunately, I have yet to really encounter significant communication issues while pairing. However, during the few times where my pair and I have experienced some sort of communication barrier, I've found that a little patience can go a long way. Restating a problem for clarity and approaching it from different angles usually does the trick. I've found that resolving issues in these situations can be quite gratifying.
Feedback for the Feedback
To be honest, I have mixed feelings about the current feedback system. I totally understand the idea behind it, and I recognize that it has a lot of potential. My biggest gripe, however, has to do with my general distaste for forced social interactions; I think they often lend themselves to inauthentic behavior and unpleasant interactions. Having the option to leave feedback would be great, but I guess I'm not so keen on being forced to leave it.
Part of my issue with the system, I think, is that a lot of the feedback we're supposed to leave isn't really actionable. And it's oftentimes really vague. For example, what does it mean to say that the "culture of the pairing session 'sometimes' benefitted" from the person you're submitting feedback to? How is that person supposed to interpret that information? Or how would it help them to know that their pair " 'mostly' felt inspired/motivated by them"? And as for the person leaving the feedback, these options can also seem similarly confusing. Even leaving a "n/a" for some of these questions might be misinterpreted. For the most part, I don't like the feeling of being forced to package my thoughts into specific pre-made boxes. It sometimes makes me feel like I'm checking boxes or writing things down because I'm supposed to rather than because I'm inspired to.
On the other hand, I think the idea of being able to submit a short paragraph or two of feedback works really well. It's really nice to have a convenient platform through which to give props or share some constructive feedback. I especially like the emphasis on leaving actionable, specific, and kind feedback. Basically, it's feedback that can be used to actually improve (because it's actionable and specific). And I interpret 'kind' to mean that it's essentially delivered with respect for the other person. It doesn't mean that it's overly flattering, and it certainly doesn't mean that it's fueled by anger or some other negative emotion.
Overall, I really like the idea of the current feedback system as an option for people to use. I do think it's important to recognize that not everyone functions the same way. And while many people may be very well-suited for the feedback system in its current form, I don't think it's fair to assume that it's a necessary tool for everyone. But I realize that no system is perfect, and I'm sure this feedback system will continue to improve. I also imagine that my perception will likely change as I become more familiar with it. So far, I've gotten a couple of actionable items as part of my feedback, which I will certainly try to work on. As for pairing, I'm all for it. I think it makes a ton of sense in terms of learning and problem-solving. I grew up playing team sports, so I'm totally convinced of the power of collaboration to solve problems.

You can see the component running in the background of this example app. Press p to toggle the pause, and press s to download a screenshot of the simulation. Press w to create more splashes.
Install the npm package.
npm i @triangular/fluid-simulation
Then, add the FluidSimulationModule to the imports of your app, as follows:
If you're using standalone components, you can skip this step.
{{step2}}
Now you can use the provided component <webgl-fluid-simulation></webgl-fluid-simulation> in your app.
{{step3a}}
Depending on whether you want to use certain features, or positions for the module, you can add styles as follows. It is important to note, that the canvas itself should not be absolutely positioned.
{{step3b}}
You can configure your module by using the FluidSimulationModule.forRoot() method.
{{step3c}}
If you want to use a dithering texture, you will need to change the config, and provide the texture file as a .png
The example component has the png under assets/LDR_LLL1_0.png, and configured shown as above.
In order to change the config interactively (for instance pausing and playing the simulation, or changing the settings) , you can use the provided service.
The service will be extended to include more functionality (for example triggering screenshots or adding splashes).

Abstract: We propose a probabilistic model based on Independent Component Analysis for learning multiple related tasks. In our model the task parameters are assumed to be generated from independent sources which account for the relatedness of the tasks. We use Laplace distributions to model hidden sources which makes it possible to identify the hidden, independent components instead of just modeling correlations. Furthermore, our model enjoys a sparsity property which makes it both parsimonious and robust. We also propose efﬁcient algorithms for both empirical Bayes method and point estimation. Our experimental results on two multi-label text classiﬁcation data sets show that the proposed approach is promising.

Dynamic Structure¶
Note
Currently, Dynamic Structure DEVS is an option for local simulation only. It is not enabled by default due to the additional (relatively costly) check for whether or not to transition.
Dynamic Structure DEVS (DSDEVS) is not actually an ‘extension’ to DEVS, though it offers some more advanced features in a simpler way. The basic idea is that a model (both coupled and atomic) can now cause a change in the structure of the model. This means adding submodels, deleting submodels, adding ports, removing ports, disconnecting ports and connecting ports. Such changes happen at run-time and cause a slight overhead due to the model being saved internally in a slightly different way.
The way DSDEVS works in PyPDEVS is similar to how it works in adevs. After each transition function, the transitioned model will have its modelTransition(state) method called. If it returns True, the model will signal its parent model that it requests a structural change. The model will then have its modelTransition(state) called too, which is allowed to make structural changes. If it requires changes at a higher level, it should return True again, to have the structural change request being propagated upwards. If it returns False, no change is requested.
All structural changes should happen in a coupled model, as this is kind of model has a structural role. The only structural change that is allowed in the modelTransition(state) method is the addition or removal of ports. Removing a port will also remove all of its current connections. Adding a port will not yet have an effect on the model itself, as it is not yet connected and requires further structural changes at a higher level. The modelTransition(state) method is NOT allowed to perform any changes to the model state, only to the state that is provided as an argument (which contains a dictionary).
The modelTransition method takes a state parameter, which is simply a dictionary that will be passed everytime. If you require modularity, it is possible to use e.g. the fully qualified name of the modelas the key and store another dictionary in here. This functionality can be used to support structural changes that require some kind of memory before deciding whether or not to perform such a change.
Interface¶
Several methods are added or altered to support DSDEVS. These functions are:
- removePort(port): remove the port argument from the ports. Any further usage of the port, such as saved references, should no longer be used as they result in simulation errors. It is best practice to manually delete the port by invoking the del Python instruction.
- addInPort(name): similar to the normal usage, but now extended to allow changes at run-time.
- addOutPort(name): similar to the normal usage, but now extended to allow changes at run-time.
- addSubModel(model): similar to the normal usage, but now extended to allow changes at run-time.
- removeSubModel(model): remove the model as a child, including all its submodels (if applicable). All of the relevant ports are also removed, thus breaking all these connections. After a model is removed, there is no way to get it back.
- connectPorts(port1, port2): similar to the normal usage, but now extended to allow changes at run-time.
- disconnectPorts(port1, port2): removes the connection between the ports. These ports should correspond to the parameters previously passed to the connectPorts method.
DSDEVS should also be enabled as a configuration parameter, using the setDSDEVS(dsdevs) method of the simulator. The default is False due to the simulation overhead.
Example¶
A complete example will not be provided here, but instead only the relevant modelTransition(state) methods will be shown.
Enabling the use of DSDEVS is done as follows:
sim = Simulator(MyDSModel())
sim.setDSDEVS(True)
sim.simulate()
The actual model can be something like:
class MyAtomicDSModel(AtomicDEVS):
...
def modelTransition(self, state):
if self.state.currenttime == 5.0:
self.removePort(self.outport) # Remove the output port
del self.outport # Remove our own reference to the port
return True # We need a structural change from the parent too
else:
return False # Nothing to do
...
class MyDSModel(CoupledDEVS):
...
def modelTransition(self, state):
self.removeModel(self.atomic) # Remove the model stored in 'self.atomic' from the simulation
return False # No need to propagate the change
...

--- layout: newsstory title: News Story match: Bromsgrove 2 Yeltz 2 ---
Another late goal - this time an Evran volley - gained The Yeltz a well-deserved draw against Bromsgrove.
We took the lead through Luke Yates early on, but they equalised before half-time. Bromsgrove then took the lead in dubious circumstances, when Carter used his hand to set up the goal. Unfortunately the referee didn't see anything wrong and despite vehement protests from players and fans alike, the goal stood with Paul Harding being sent off for dissent.
However justice (of sorts) was done when Evran volleyed home a Pie-arce header nine minutes from time. Phew!


Crux Installation Instructions
This page will walk you through the steps of installing Crux on your computer. Separate sections describe the installation for Linux, OS X, and Windows. You have the choice of installing pre-compiled binaries or building Crux from the source code. The compiled binaries offer the easiest installation option.Linux
Note: These instructions refer to your home directory as$HOME
. You can type $HOME
in the commands
or you can use the fully qualified path to your home directory which
may be something like /home/yourname/
. Note that you can
find out the location of your home directory by logging in and
typing pwd
or echo $HOME
.
Installing Pre-compiled Crux Binaries on Linux
- Current versions of Crux require that version 2.17 of the C
runtime library be installed.
You can determine which version of the C runtime library is installed
by running
ldd --version
- Download the files
Crux is freely
available for download under an
Apache 2.0 license.
On the download page click on the link "Linux [architecture]
Build (zipped)" to download them to your computer.
If a window pops
up, select the "Save" button.
To check that the file was
transfered correctly, run this command
and compare the output to the "MD5 checksum" link next to the file you downloaded.

should be named something like
crux-x.xx-XXXX-GNU-Linux.zip
where x.xx
is replaced with the most current release version
and
XXXX is either i686 or x86_64.
Move this file
to a convenient location and unpack the file with this command:
You should now have a new directory, crux-x.xx-XXXX-GNU-Linux, with two subdirectories, bin and doc. The crux programs are in the bin directory. You may want to move these files somewhere more convenient for you, but otherwise, that completes the installation! Skip ahead to Setting the PATH on Linux and OS X for notes on how to run the executables.

- Build and install To complete the process, run these two commands.
make
make install
Setting the PATH on Linux and OS X
-
On Linux and OS X systems you can always run any of the programs by specifying its full
path. For example,
<install directory>/bin/crux comet
In this final step of the installation, we'll set things up so that you can also run any of the programs by just typing its name. This is done with an environment variable called $PATH. $PATH is a list of places that the computer looks for executable programs. Find out what is in the current list with this command:
echo $PATH
The value returned might look something like this:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
The first directory in this colon-separated list, /usr/local/bin, is the first place the computer looks for a program. If it doesn't find the program there it tries /usr/bin and so on down the list. You can either move the crux executable files into one of these directories already in your PATH, or you can add <install directory> to PATH with this command. (Remember to replace the word <install directory> with the actual location of your installation)
export PATH=$PATH:<install directory>/bin
Try 'echo $PATH' again to see that the change was made. <install directory>/bin should be at the end of the list. Now you can run the crux programs by just typing their names. Try this.
crux comet
The change to $PATH is only temporary. As soon as you close the window, the change will disappear. In order to make the change every time you log on, add the line export PATH=$PATH:<install directory>/bin to the file .bashrc located in your home directory. You will have to log on again for the change to take effect.
Windows
Installing Pre-compiled Crux Binaries on Windows
- Prerequisites To run Crux with support for vendor specific file formats on Windows you must have installed the following software:
- Download the files Crux is freely available for download under an Apache 2.0 license. On the download page click on the link "Windows x86 Build (zipped)" to download them to your computer. If a window pops up, select the "Save" button.
- Unpack and install the files Browse to the downloaded file in Windows Explorer. Right click on the file and choose "Expand All ...". You should now have a new directory, crux-x.xx, with two subdirectories bin, and doc. The crux programs are in the bin directory. You may want to move these files somewhere more convenient for you, but otherwise, that completes the installation! Skip ahead to Setting the PATH on Windows for notes on how to run the executables.
Building Crux From Source on Windows
- Prerequisites
To build Crux from source on Windows you must have installed the
following software:
Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2019
CMake (version 3.15 or later recommended)
git
unzip
Windows wget (version 1.20 or later)
-
Thermo MSFileReader V3.0 SP3
(This may be omitted if support for vendor specific file formats is disabled.)
- Download the file The Crux source is freely available for download under an Apache 2.0 license>. On the download page click on the link "Source (zipped)", and choose save to disk if prompted. The file you downloaded should be named something like crux-x.xx.Source.zip, where x.xx is replaced with the most current release version.
- Unpack the files Unpack the downloaded file using Windows Explorer. Right click on the file icon and click on "Extract All ...". A new directory named crux-x.xx.Source will be created containing the source code and documentation for Crux. Note Windows has a fixed maximum path length of 270 characters. The Crux build creates several levels of directories so it is very easy to exceed this limit. This will cause the build to fail. To avoid this problem we recommend keeping the Crux source and build trees very near the disk root (typically C:\).
- Open the command line development environment. Under the "Start" button open the "Visual Studio 2019" folder, then open the "Visual Studio Tools" folder, and double-click on "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS2019". This will launch a cmd shell configured to use the Microsoft development tools.
- Configure
In the cmd shell you just opened,
move into the crux-x.xx.Source
directory from step 1.
Run the command
where <install directory> is the location where you wish to install the crux programs. Note that, somewhat confusingly, Visual Studio 2019 is version 16. If you wish to disable support for vendor specific file formats, use this command instead
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=<install directory> -G "Visual Studio 16" -A X64 .
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=<install directory> -DINCLUDE_VENDOR_LIBRARIES=FALSE -G "Visual Studio 15 Win64" .
- Build and install To complete the process run the commands
cmake --build . --config Release --target ALL_BUILD
cmake --build . --config Release --target INSTALL
Setting the PATH on Windows
-
On Windows systems you can always run any of the programs by specifying its full
path. For example,
C:\<install directory>\bin\crux comet
In this final step of the installation, we'll set things up so that you can also run any of the programs by just typing its name. This is done with an environment variable called PATH. PATH is a list of directories that the computer looks for executable programs. Find out what is in the current list with this command:
C:\echo %PATH%
The value returned might look something like this:
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32;c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ Windows Live;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\S ystem32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;c:\Program files\Notepad++;C:\Program Files\Tort oiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files\CMake 2.8\bin; C:\Program Files\PuTTY;C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin;C:\GnuWin32\bin;
The first directory in this semicolon-separated list, C:\Windows, is the first place the computer looks for a program. If it doesn't find the program there it tries C:\Windows\system32 and so on down the list. You can either move the crux executable files into one of these directories already in your PATH, or you can add <install directory> to PATH with this command. (Remember to replace the word <install directory> with the actual location of your installation)
set PATH=%PATH%;<install directory>\bin;
The change to PATH is only temporary. To make a permanent change to the path follow the following steps:
- Open the "Control Panel".
- Click on "System and Security".
- Click on "Advanced System Settings" in the list on the left (you may be asked to give an administrative password).
- You'll presented with a dialog box titled "System Properties". Click on the button labeled "Environment Variables".
- You'll be presented with a new dialog box containing two list boxes: one for user environment variables, and one for system environment variables. Select the PATH variable in the system variables list, and click on the "Edit ..." button.
- Add the full path to the directory containing the Crux executables to the list of directories. Remember that each PATH entry should end with a semi-colon.


Klaxons founder James Righton releases ’70s-inspired single ‘The Performer’, taken from his debut solo album
The musician tackles an existential dilemma on the loungey new number
Former Klaxons keyboardist and founding member James Righton has announced his new album ‘The Performer’ and released its title track. Stream the song and find more details below.
The musician, who’s previously worked on music under his Shock Machine alias, will release the record on March 20 via Soulwax-run-label DEEWEE. It serves as the first studio effort under his own name.
Opening with a loungy piano line, the ’70s-inspired first cut from ‘The Performer’ sees Righton question his identity and his role of both an artist and father.
“Am I this showman up on stage? Or am I the dad changing nappies?” Righton says of the inspiration behind the song. “Am I living in the moment and doing something enjoyable?  I find that really interesting: this idea of putting on a suit and becoming this other thing.”
In the accompanying video, the artist dons a classic white suit and performs the song amongst vintage instruments and recording equipment. According to a press release, this aesthetic will form the basis of Righton’s upcoming live shows – due to be announced soon.
‘The Performer’ was produced by Righton himself and features contributions from James Ford (Arctic Monkeys/The Last Shadow Puppets), who played drums on the LP.
James Righton – ‘The Performer’ artwork
The tracklist for ‘The Performer’ is as follows:
The Performer
Edie
See The Monster
Devil is Loose
Lessons In Dreamland, Pt1
Are You With Me?
Start
Heavy Heart
Lessons In Dreamland, Pt2
James Righton played keyboards and provided vocals for nu-ravers Klaxons, who split up in 2014 after announcing that their UK headline tour that year would be their “last.” He released his first Shock Machine album in 2017 and contributed to Arctic Monkeys’ 2018 LP, ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.

According to the manual, this will make the number of clones equal to the
number
of commits (a clone is created for every commit) -- is the number of commits
equivalent to the number of nodes?

Hey, I'm Thomas. This is where I publish my extended reality experiments—mostly A-Frame and AR.js stuff.


Posted on: Sunday, October 27, 2019
Reading time: 2 minutes and 23 seconds.
One of the most common query when working with maps is the nearest neighbour query. This post will explain how to accomplish an easy nearest neighbour query.
We will first start with a data set or coordinates.
The Nearest Neighbour Query on the map aims to return the nearest neighbour of a point. So, in the example, it can be seen that the 1st Nearest Neighbour of New York would be Boston and the 2nd Nearest Neighbour of New York Would be Chicago. This goes on for the k value. The interesting thing to remember is that the starting point of the query often times do not start from the set of existing points.
What if we would like to query 20 nearest neighbour from a query point? This solution can easily be answered with a naive linear query if we do not have an existing data structure. Basically we can just calculate the distance from each point (each city) to our location to determine which ones are the nearest 20 points to us.
However, in bigger applications where there would be more points (Think 1 million points), data structures like the R-tree would play a very important role to perform such queries. At the end of the day, it is important to understand that algorithms operate on data structures.
The naive solution would be to do something as follows. (Written in JavaScript)
const sortPointsBasedOnDistance = (queryPoint, points) => {
points.sort((pointA, pointB) => {
return (
calculateDistance(queryPoint, pointA) -
calculateDistance(queryPoint, pointB)
);
});
};
const calculateDistance = (startingPoint, endingPoint) => {
let x = endingPoint.x - startingPoint.x;
let y = endingPoint.y - startingPoint.y;
return Math.hypot(x, y);
};
const createPoint = (name, x, y) => ({
name: name,
x: x,
y: y
});
let points = [];
points.push(
createPoint("New York", 40, -74),
createPoint("Chicago", 41, -87),
createPoint("Minneapolis", 44, -93),
createPoint("Boston", 42, -71),
createPoint("Denver", 39, 104),
createPoint("Dallas", 32, -96)
);
let queryPoint = createPoint("Query Point", 40, -74);
sortPointsBasedOnDistance(queryPoint, points);
console.log(points);

L.A. Confidential A Film Review By Michael Redman Copyright 1997 Michael Redman
***1/2 (Out of ****)
The most difficult aspect of talking about "L.A. Confidential" is knowing where to begin. The film is thick with subplots come together to create a smart complex film that is one of the best police movies in recent years.
The City Of Angels of 1953 is one of police brutality, a clandestine attempt to take over the city's crime world and the heavenly bodies are working girls. When a chief mob figure is jailed, his lieutenants are mysteriously and violently eliminated as someone is making major moves into his territory.
When what appears to be a robbery gone bad at the Nite Owl Cafe results in a six-person massacre, it becomes apparent that things are not what they appear to be. A crooked ex-cop is a victim in the killings and it looks like his murder may have wide-spread implications.
Three officers become involved in the investigation from three distinctly different directions. Ed Exley (Guy Pearce) is a by-the-books new-look policeman complete with eyeglasses and a dapper look. He's so clean that he rats out others in the squad when they engage in beatings of jailed Mexicans.
Bud White (Russell Crowe) is at first glance his exact opposite. He's not above breaking some bones to get the co-operation that he needs even if his victim is tied to a chair.
Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey) is an attention-hungry media conscious operator. His deal with a tabloid reporter (Danny DeVito) who tips him off to nefarious activities in exchange for first-hand photos goes hand-in-hand with his position as advisor to the television program "Badge Of Honor" which closely resembles "Dragnet".
None of these characters are as simple as they first appear. Good boy Exley is not above manipulating situations for advancement in his rapid rising career. Mad dog White is particularly aggressive towards criminals who harm women. They both learn a thing or two when forced to work together. The interaction between the two of them and Kim Bassinger's character is right on target when it looks at the strangeness that exists in the attraction between men and women.
The supporting cast doesn't fare quite so well as complex characters. The millionaire who runs a stable of movie star look-alike call girls is the personification of sleaze. Bassinger as one of his prostitutes is the proverbial whore with a heart of gold. DeVito's "journalist" is played almost entirely for dark comedy.
Director Curtis Hanson has done a commendable job of turning James Ellroy's 1990 almost-500 page novel into a coherent film. You need to pay attention but it all makes sense. Converting a novel into a movie is a daunting task. Doing this one could have resulted in a five hour film, but it feels as if nothing were lost.
The film begs to be compared to "Chinatown". Although "L.A. Confidential" would rank in second-best in a contest, it is one of the few that could even come close. The noir pulp approach works well with one exception.
If I were King Of The Known Universe and had control over all films, I would have made different choices in lighting. The sets are sharp, the cinematography excellent, but most of the time everything looks lighted with about 20 spotlights. For a film drenched in darkness, there is a tremendous amount of brightness.
Look for this movie to pick up a number of little statues come Academy Awards time. It looks good, works well and doesn't talk down to its audience...at least not very much.
