Host VariablesWhen embedding SQL in an application program, you, as the programmer, rarely know every value that needs to be accessed by SQL predicates. Often you need to use variables to specify the values of predicates. For example, when a program reads a flat file for data or accepts user input from a terminal, a mechanism is needed to hold these values in an SQL statement. This is the function of host variables. A host variable is an area of storage allocated by the host language and referenced in an SQL statement. You define and name host variables using the syntax of the host language. For COBOL, you must define host variables in the DATA DIVISION of your program in the WORKING-STORAGE section or the LINKAGE section. Additionally, when you're using INCLUDE, you must delimit the host variable specifications by using EXEC SQL and END-EXEC (as previously discussed). When you use host variables in SQL statements, prefix them with a colon (:). For example, a COBOL variable defined in the DATA DIVISION as EXAMPLE-VARIABLE PIC X(5) should be referenced as follows when used in an embedded SQL statement: :EXAMPLE-VARIABLE When the same variable is referenced by the COBOL program outside the context of SQL, however, do not prefix the variable with a colon. If you do so, a compilation error results. CAUTION Prior to DB2 Version 6, DB2 allowed users to "forget" prefixing host variables with a colon. If a colon was not specified, an informational warning was generated, but the SQL statement was still processed. For DB2 V6 and later releases, this is no longer the case. If the colon is missing, an error message will be generated and the SQL will not execute. Host variables are the means of moving data from the program to DB2 and from DB2 to the program. Data can be read from a file, placed into host variables, and used to modify a DB2 table (through embedded SQL). For data retrieval, host variables are used to house the selected DB2 data. You also can use host variables to change predicate values in WHERE clauses. You can use host variables in the following ways:
Several examples of host variables used in SQL statements follow. In the first example, host variables are used in the SQL SELECT statement as literals in the SELECT list and as output data areas in the INTO clause: EXEC SQL SELECT EMPNO, :INCREASE-PCT, SALARY * :INCREASE-PCT INTO :HOSTVAR-EMPNO, :HOSTVAR-INCRPCT, :HOSTVAR-SALARY FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO = '000110' END-EXEC. In the second example, host variables are used in the SET clause of the UPDATE statement and as a search field in the WHERE clause: EXEC SQL UPDATE EMP SET SALARY = :HOSTVAR-SALARY WHERE EMPNO = :HOSTVAR-EMPNO END-EXEC. A third example shows a host variable used in the WHERE clause of an SQL DELETE statement. In this statement every row that refers to a WORKDEPT equal to the host variable value will be deleted from the table: EXEC SQL DELETE FROM EMP WHERE WORKDEPT = :HOSTVAR-WORKDEPT END-EXEC. The final example depicts host variables used in the VALUES clause of an SQL INSERT statement: EXEC SQL INSERT INTO DEPT VALUES (:HOSTVAR-DEPTNO, :HOSTVAR-DEPTNAME, :HOSTVAR-MGRNO, :HOSTVAR-ADMRDEPT) END-EXEC. Host StructuresIn addition to host variables, SQL statements can use host structures. Host structures enable SQL statements to specify a single structure for storing all retrieved columns. A host structure, then, is a COBOL group-level data area composed of host variables for all columns to be returned by a given SELECT statement. The following is a host structure for the DSN8810.DEPT table: 01 DCLDEPT. 10 DEPTNO PIC X(3). 10 DEPTNAME. 49 DEPTNAME-LEN PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. 49 DEPTNAME-TEXT PIC X(36). 10 MGRNO PIC X(6). 10 ADMRDEPT PIC X(3). 10 LOCATION PIC X(16). DCLDEPT is the host structure name in this example. You could write the following statement using this host structure: EXEC SQL SELECT DEPTNO, DEPTNAME, MGRNO, ADMRDEPT, LOCATION FROM DEPT INTO :DCLDEPT WHERE DEPTNO = 'A00' END-EXEC. This statement populates the host variables for all columns defined under the DCLDEPT group-level data area. Null Indicator Variables and StructuresBefore you select or insert a column that can be set to null, it must have an indicator variable defined for it. You can use indicator variables also with the UPDATE statement to set columns to null. A third use for null indicators occurs when any column (defined as either nullable or not nullable) is retrieved using the built-in column functions AVG, MAX, MIN, and SUM. Finally, null indicators should be used in outer join statements for each column that can return a null result (even if the column is defined as not null). If you fail to use an indicator variable, a -305 SQLCODE is returned when no rows meet the requirements of the predicates for the SQL statement containing the column function. For example, consider the following statement: SELECT MAX(SALARY) FROM DSN8810.EMP WHERE WORKDEPT = 'ZZZ'; Because no ZZZ department exists, the value of the maximum salary that is returned is null—not zero or blank. So be sure to include a null indicator variable whenever you use a built-in column function. You should define null indicators in the WORKING-STORAGE section of your COBOL program as computational variables, with a picture clause specification of PIC S9(4). The null indicator variables for the DSN8810.EMP table look like this: 01 EMP-INDICATORS. 10 WORKDEPT-IND PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. 10 PHONENO-IND PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. 10 HIREDATE-IND PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. 10 JOB-IND PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. 10 EDLEVEL-IND PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. 10 SEX-IND PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. 10 BIRTHDATE-IND PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. 10 SALARY-IND PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. 10 BONUS-IND PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. 10 COMM-IND PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP. This structure contains the null indicators for all the nullable columns of the DSN8810.EMP table. To associate null indicator variables with a particular host variable for a column, code the indicator variable immediately after the host variable, preceded by a colon. For example, to retrieve information regarding SALARY (a nullable column) from the DSN8810.EMP table, you can code the following embedded SQL statement: EXEC SQL SELECT EMPNO, SALARY INTO :EMPNO, :SALARY:SALARY-IND FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO = '000100' END-EXEC. The null indicator variable is separate from both the column to which it pertains and the host variable for that column. To determine the value of any nullable column, a host variable and an indicator variable are required. The host variable contains the value of the column when it is not null. The indicator variable contains one of the following values to indicate a column's null status:
You can use null indicator variables with corresponding host variables in the following situations:
You can code null indicator structures in much the same way you code the host structures discussed previously. Null indicator structures enable host structures to be used when nullable columns are selected. A null indicator structure is defined as a null indicator variable with an OCCURS clause. The variable should occur once for each column in the corresponding host structure, as shown in the following section of code: 01 IDEPT PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP OCCURS 5 TIMES. This null indicator structure defines the null indicators needed for retrieving rows from the DSN8810.DEPT table using a host structure. The DCLDEPT host structure has five columns, so the IDEPT null indicator structure occurs five times. When you're using a host structure for a table in which any column is nullable, one null indicator per column in the host structure is required. You can use the host structure and null indicator structure together as follows: EXEC SQL SELECT DEPTNO, DEPTNAME, MGRNO, ADMRDEPT, LOCATION FROM DEPT INTO :DCLDEPT:DEPT-IND WHERE DEPTNO = 'A00' END-EXEC. Based on the position in the null indicator structure, you can determine the null status of each column in the retrieved row. If the nth null indicator contains a negative value, the nth column is null. So, in this example, if DEPT-IND(3) is negative, MGRNO is null. CAUTION Always use a null indicator variable when referencing a nullable column. Failure to do so results in a -305 SQLCODE. If you fail to check the null status of the column being retrieved, your program may continue to execute, but the results will be questionable. NOTE You can avoid using null indicator variables by using the VALUE or COALESCE function. Both of these functions can be used to supply a value whenever DB2 would return a null. For example, VALUE(MANAGER_NAME,'*** No Manager Name ***') will return the actual value of MANAGER_NAME when the column is not null and the literal '*** No Manager Name ***' when the MANAGER_NAME column is null. COALESCE works the same as VALUES and uses the same syntax—COALESCE(MANAGER_NAME,'*** No Manager Name ***'). Host Variable GuidelinesPractice the following tips and techniques to ensure proper host variable usage. Use Syntactically Valid Variable NamesHost variables can use any naming scheme that is valid for the definition of variables in the host language being used. For host variables defined using COBOL, underscores are not permitted. As a general rule, use hyphens instead of underscores. Avoid Certain COBOL ClausesCOBOL host variable definitions cannot specify the JUSTIFIED or BLANK WHEN ZERO clauses. You can specify the OCCURS clause only when you're defining a null indicator structure. Otherwise, you cannot use OCCURS for host variables. Using Host StructuresIn general, favor individual host variables over host structures. Individual host variables are easier to understand, easier to support, and less likely to cause errors as a result of changes to tables. Additionally, using individual host variables promotes proper SQL usage. When using host structures, too often developers try to fit every SQL SELECT to the host structure. Instead of limiting each SQL SELECT statement to retrieve only the columns required, developers sometimes will force every SELECT statement in a program to fit a single host structure. To optimize performance, this must be avoided. However, when it is necessary to squeeze every last bit of performance out of an application, consider using host structures. When a host structure is used, some minimal number of instructions are saved because DB2 does not have to move each column separately to an individual host variable. Instead, one move is required to move the columns into the host structure. CAUTION When host structures are used, be sure not to fall into the trap of making every SELECT statement use a single host structure, or performance will suffer. Avoid Null Indicator StructuresFavor individual null indicator variables over null indicator structures. Individual null indicator variables can be named appropriately for each column to which they apply. Null indicator structures have a single common name and a subscript. Tying a subscripted variable name to a specific column can be tedious and error-prone. For example, consider the host structure and its corresponding null indicator structure shown previously. The fact that IDEPT(2) is the null indicator variable for the DEPTNAME host variable is not obvious. If you had used separate null indicators for each nullable column, the null indicator for DEPTNAME could be called DEPTNAME-IND. With this naming convention, you can easily see that DEPTNAME-IND is the null indicator variable for DEPTNAME. Be forewarned that null indicator structures can be generated by DCLGEN (as of DB2 V4), whereas individual indicator variables must be explicitly coded by hand. Even so, individual null indicator variables are easier to use and therefore recommended over null indicator structures. Define Host Variables PreciselyDefine all your host variables correctly. Consult Appendix C, "Valid DB2 Data Types," for a complete list of valid DB2 data types and their corresponding COBOL definitions. Failure to define host variables correctly can result in precompiler errors or poor performance due to access path selection based on non-equivalent data types, data conversions, and data truncation. Use DCLGEN for Host Variable GenerationUse DCLGEN to generate host variables automatically for each column of each table to be accessed. DCLGEN ensures that the host variables are defined correctly. Avoid DCLGEN for Null Indicator GenerationAs I mentioned earlier, DCLGEN can optionally generate null indicator host structures. However, host structures are more difficult to use than individual null indicator variables and generally should be avoided. Embedded SELECT StatementsThe two types of embedded SQL SELECT statements are singleton SELECTs and cursor SELECTs. So far, all examples in the book have been singleton SELECTs. Remember, SQL statements operate on a set of data and return a set of data. Host language programs, however, operate on data a row at a time. A singleton SELECT is simply an SQL SELECT statement that returns only one row. As such, it can be coded and embedded in a host language program with little effort: The singleton SELECT returns one row and the application program processes one row. You code a singleton SELECT as follows: EXEC SQL SELECT DEPTNAME, MGRNO INTO :HOSTVAR-DEPTNAME, :HOSTVAR-MGRNO FROM DEPT WHERE DEPTNO = 'A11' END-EXEC. The singleton SELECT statement differs from a normal SQL SELECT statement in that it must contain the INTO clause. In the INTO clause, you code the host variables that accept the data returned from the DB2 table by the SELECT statement. Singleton SELECTs are usually quite efficient. Be sure, however, that the singleton SELECT returns only one row. If more than one row is retrieved, the first one is placed in the host variables defined by the INTO clause, and the SQLCODE is set to -811.
If your application program must process a SELECT statement that returns multiple rows, you must use a cursor, which is an object designed to handle multiple row results tables. As of DB2 V8, though, rowset positioning cursors can be coded to FETCH multiple rows at a time. |

perspective of Business Domain Analysis:
Personalization in Business Domain Analysis
Personalization is a transformative aspect of modern digital solutions. As businesses strive to curate experiences based on individual user behaviors, preferences, and data, it becomes paramount to understand how this tailoring
intersects with Business Domain Analysis. Here's a deeper exploration:
Design Decisions
-
Segmentation vs. Individualization:
-
Within the domain, it's crucial to discern between broad user segmentation and hyper-individualized experiences. While segmentation groups users by general traits, individualization crafts experiences for individual
users. This differentiation can influence data requirements and design strategies.
-
Behavioral Analysis:
-
Analyzing patterns in user behavior can lead to predictive personalization. Recognizing these patterns in the domain lets the system anticipate user needs, requiring sophisticated analytics and possibly AI/ML
integrations which subsequently affect design and backend decisions.
-
Cultural & Regional Nuances:
- Business Domain Analysis for global applications should consider personalization along cultural, linguistic, or regional dimensions. These facets present a multi-layered challenge in personalization.
-
Dynamic Content Display and UX:
- Ensuring the design accommodates flexible and modular user experiences as personalization relies on dynamic content adjustments based on user data.
-
User Preferences and UI:
- Account for variable layouts and placeholder designs, especially when the content is dynamic.
Datastore Considerations
- Volume: Personalization demands vast amounts of data. This need influences the design of databases or storage solutions selection.
- Velocity: For real-time personalization, datastores should facilitate high-speed operations.
- Variety: Datastores should cater to structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, influencing storage solutions' versatility.
- Data Longevity and Security: Retention decisions impact costs and data relevance, while personal data storage necessitates robust security.
Other Considerations
- Privacy & Compliance: Personal data collection mandates a focus on user consent and compliance with data protection regulations.
- Infrastructure Scalability: Resource-intensive personalization engines can steer decisions on infrastructure scalability.
- Feedback Loop and Continuous Learning: Effective personalization adjusts over time, necessitating tools for consistent monitoring and refinement.
- Fail-safe Mechanisms: Over-personalization risks must be addressed in design considerations.
- Ethical Considerations: Striking a balance between personalization and ethical standards is pivotal, emphasizing the need for setting clear ethical boundaries in the domain.
In essence, personalization's realm is intricate, intertwining with various facets of business domain analysis. Approaching this from a domain analysis lens ensures a structured and holistic strategy, optimizing personalization's
benefits while navigating its inherent challenges.


[2.5/4.0]
In the history of American television, no series has attracted as much devotion as Star Trek. The original series and its progeny have created a following that contains elements stranger than anything that ever appeared on the science fiction series. This film is a documentary that examines the obsession some people have with the show.
The film is narrated by Denise Crosby, who is a former cast member and also a participant in the documentary's inquiry. The technique used is primarily interviews and profiles of particularly possessed individuals, interviews with current and former cast members recounting their experiences, and encounters with the show's fandom.
Interspersed with the interviews are many scenes and quick sound bites from several of the many of the series' ubiquitous conventions, where fans gather, in complete space regalia, to listen to cast members talk, buy and sell memorabilia, and generally commiserate with other fans. The propensity of the conventioneers to dress as characters from the show creates an odd and humorous mood. It is not unusual to see people take an interest, but the absurdity of the lengths they go to is continuously laughable.
What is most compelling is that it is possible to discern several different types of fans. There are those who digest the moral order espoused by the show and synthesize it as a personal religion by which they live. There are some who put all their creative energy into following the show, like the teenage fan who appraises and trades memorabilia, and who even developed a computer graphics generated sketch of an episode based on the series. Some fans are more casual and do not feel the need to outwardly display their affiliation with the show but they see the meaning and poignancy developed in the series' narrative, and they like to discuss this with others. All of these seem like harmless and quirky individuals who have an interest but not an unhealthy attraction to the show. However, one type of fan was unnerving, and that is those who have an obsession with a particular cast member and character. One woman in particular keeps her multitude of pictures and other totems connected to her favorite cast member in a safe, and paints a disturbing picture of obsession.
The primary flaw with the film is that it does not have a focused theme that it follows through its narrative like a standard documentary. It meanders between the various interviews with short convention snippets collected in between. Without a central theme, the film appears to be little more than a carnival freak show.
Recommended. Judged by the requirements of documentary filmmaking, this film is lacking in vision by not making a clear statement about its subject. It is definitely entertaining. Watching the film is probably more fun as a group activity, since a group of viewers can laugh together at the odd creatures on screen.

| FakeStream () | |
| virtual | ~FakeStream () |
| size_t | write (uint8_t val) |
| void | flush () |
| const String & | bytesWritten () |
| void | setToEndOfStream () |
| void | nextByte (byte b) |
| int | available () |
| int | read () |
| int | peek () |
A fake stream which can be used in place of other streams to inject bytes to be read and to record any bytes written.
| FakeStream::FakeStream | ( | ) |
Creates a fake stream. Until nextByte() is called all bytes returned from read() or peek() will be -1 (end-of-stream).
|
virtual |
Destroys this fake stream.
| int FakeStream::available | ( | ) |
The number of bytes available to be read.
| const String & FakeStream::bytesWritten | ( | ) |
The bytes written by calling write(uint8_t).
| void FakeStream::flush | ( | ) |
Flushes this stream. Does nothing in this implementation.
| void FakeStream::nextByte | ( | byte | b | ) |
| int FakeStream::peek | ( | ) |
Reads a byte without removing it from the stream.
| int FakeStream::read | ( | ) |
Reads a byte, removing it from the stream.
| void FakeStream::setToEndOfStream | ( | ) |
| size_t FakeStream::write | ( | uint8_t | val | ) |
Writes a byte to this stream. The byte is recorded by appending it to the internal store and can be observed by calling bytesWritten().
| val | the byte to write |

The Character Build Calculator has been updated to NWN 1.69.
- Epic Dodge requires Tumble 30 (instead of just Tumble 1), - Dragon Shape requires Shape 6x/day (instead of Shape 5x/day), - Epic Weapon Focus Club requires Weapon Focus Club (instead of Impr. Crit. Club), - Weapon Specialization Club requires at least four fighter levels, - Trident Weapon Feats (WF, EWF, WS, EWS, Impr. Crit., Overwh. Crit., Dev. Crit., Weapon of Choice), Trident is a valid weapon for CoT and WM.
CoT still can't take Ambidexterity/TWF as bonus feats but that will be fixed in v. 2.831.
If I've missed something let me know. _________________ Character Build Calculator(works with Excel, Open Office) 2.83: updated to NWN 1.69.

The corresponding dialog that opens after clicking on the Edit Host Model button is shown in Figure 9. The user can add, change or delete structural components which are based on the two-dimensional Sérsic SFB profile. The required parameters for the host model components are the magnitude, the distance in and direction to the QSO centre, the effective radius in units of spaxels, the Sérsic index , the ellipticity and the position angle PA in the GALFIT convention. The resulting SFB model is displayed in the widget on the right with a logarithmic SFB scaling.
During the deblending process the host model will be convolved with the recovered PSF of the observation. Afterwards the difference in SFB of the selected host spatial region and the selected QSO spatial region will be measured and host galaxy spectrum will be scaled accordingly before it is subtracted from the QSO spectrum.
The QSO-host deblending should usually not be performed over the entire field of view, since the deblending process will decrease the S/N of individual spaxel spectra. Thus, it might be desirable to restrict the actual deblending to an area within a given radius around the QSO centre. In that case the user should select the Radius box and enter the desired radius in units of spaxels.
If all required parameters in the Deblending Control Widget have been set satisfactory the user can start the deblending process with the Start Deblending button in the Widget or from the Start Menu item.


Add small overlay content, like those found in iOS, to any element for housing secondary information.
Use the focus
trigger to dismiss popovers on the next click that the user makes.
Popover content can contain any html template. Just create <template #myId>
with any
html allowed by Angular, and provide template ref (#myId
) as popover content.
By using small trick you can display any dynamic html, which you got from ajax request for example.
When you have some styles on a parent element that interfere with a popover, you’ll want to specify a container="body"
so that the popover’s HTML will be appended to body. This will help to avoid rendering problems in more complex components (like our input groups, button groups, etc) or inside elements with overflow: hidden


Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Computing education should be:
open
Quality content should be accessible for all people and machines, it
should be modular and adaptable to everyone's human context.
approachable
Introductory courses should be designed for true novices, run in a
zero-install learning environment, with clear learning goals.
integrative
Objectives should emphasize process over result, put nothing between
students & interpreter, and encourage applied computing.
communicative
Students should understand how computing influences the world around
them and understand programming as a new literacy.

THE MUSE
USA Films Reviewed by Harvey Karten Director: Albert Brooks Writer: Albert Brooks & Monica Johnson Cast: Albert Brooks, Sharon Stone, Andie MacDowell, Jeff Bridges, James Cameron, Bobby Edner, Mark Feuerstein, Wolfgang Puck, Rob Reiner, Martin Scorsese, Stacey Travis, Steve Valentine, Steven Wright
Coincidentally, the New York Times Circuits section that came out on the day of the critics' screening of "The Muse" highlighted a directory of software that can be used by screenwriters. The software includes Plots Unlimited, which gives the writer logical options among 5,000 situations; WritePro, which takes the user through essential rules for creating well-written material; John Truby's Blockbuster, for brainstorming a plot; and DramaticaPro, which advises the scripter about motivations, inner thoughts, moral dilemmas and courses of action. I'd guess that whoever actually does get a play onto the screen using computer help is going to receive critical notices that call the movie "apparently written by a computer."
If computers are not the answer, just how does a dramatist get ideas that are saleable? Chances are most who are successful at this difficult and highly competitive trade have the knack, the talent, the genius at knowing what will come across to an audience. For some gifted people, the notions for new movies pop into their heads annually. Look at Woody Allen, for example, who no sooner finishes one work than he is busy filming another. Others need inspiration: they're the kinds of people who may go for a decade or so without a single good idea and suddenly become enkindled. "The Muse," which is directed, co-written, and stars Albert Brooks deals with the latter situation. Brooks, performing in the role of Steven Phillips, a screenwriter who has lost his edge, has just been fired by Paramount Studios and doesn't know how he's going to feed his family of four.
"The Muse" is an imaginative yarn, yet another movie following closely on the heels of "Bowfinger." Like that vehicle for Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, this one sends up the unique culture which is Hollywood--a town filled with a small number of successful studio department heads, producers, writers and directors and afflicted as well with many times that many wannabees and has-beens. Brooks, one of our most talented and successful comics who has done great work in "Defending Your Life" (considered by one critic to be "imperfect, like all of Brooks's movies, but hard to dislike"), and "Lost in America" (co-written, as is this one, by Monica Johnson, a send-up of yuppies), is true to form with a movie having a sit-comish design. Brooks, who was a regular on TV programs hosted by Ed Sullivan, Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin, frames his comedies around punch lines, presumably to be judged by how many sequences draw the laughs or chuckles and how many fall flat. Happily, most of the gags this time around can be appreciated, especially by an audience of regular moviegoers who are hip to Hollywood society with its celebrity chefs, producers who do lunch with their talent, and actors who consider themselves princes and princesses deserving all the benefits of a world enamored of American cinema.
Brooks's character, Steven Phillips, has just received the "humanitarian" award at a dinner presided over by Cybill Shepherd, who announces that the man has written seventeen films, "some of which are about the human condition." At home with his wife, Laura (Andie MacDowell) and his two daughters, he is asked what the award means and explains that this is what is given to people who do not win Oscars. Much of the humor throughout the 97-minute movie are of this self-deprecatory nature as Brooks runs through the role of a slightly neurotic and anxiety-ridden author. (This is sort of role that could have been played as well by Woody Allen.) Phillips's friend, Jack Warrick (Jeff Bridges), advises him to consult an actual living muse-- explaining that the muses in Greek mythology are nine children of Zeus whose role is to inspire people in the arts. Phillips consults with Sarah (Sharon Stone), the alleged source of inspiration, hoping to get back on track. He soon finds that Sarah is more a princess than a god, insisting that if she is to do her job properly she must be put up in the city's most expensive hotel, be treated to expensive gifts, and even given the run of Phillips's home. At various points in the film, Sarah is visited by the grateful people whom she has inspired, including Martin Scorsese (who does an amusing job as a motormouth who seems to have overdosed on Starbucks), Wolfgang Puck, Rob Reiner, and James Cameron--all playing themselves.
If Brooks successfully performs in the role of an annoying pest, constantly sniveling about the hand he's been dealt by unappreciative producers, Sharon Stone is even more notable in her portrayal of a woman who exploits her godlike position to extract expensive gratuities.
The point to "The Muse" is that the creative people in Hollywood are on a different planet, one which has furnished the chic set nationwide with such benefits as bottled water, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, and in this case, the world's best cookies. The picture has even broader implications in portraying Hollywood as a dream factory which produces utter fantasies (such as the belief in living muses) that allow us to leave behind our real lives for a couple of hours each week. If some of the jokes fall flat, chalk those sections of the movie up to the periods that writer-director Albert Brooks's mentor was out to lunch. Fortunately, there's enough good fun in this yarn to make us believe that the highly talented Brooks has spent most of his creative time in the presence of his muse.

Boris Johnson postpones corporation tax cut
by Stefan BosciaThe Conservatives have shelved plans to cut corporation tax from 19 per cent to 17 per cent.
Boris Johnson made the announcement at the CBI conference in London this morning.
Read more: Sajid Javid will remain chancellor if Conservatives win the election
He said the change had been made to free up funding for the Health Service.
“We proudly back business across this country because we understand it is they, you pay for the NHS,” he said.
“Because the NHS is the nation’s priority and our priority and because we believe emphatically in fiscal prudence, I hope you don’t mind that I also announce today that we are postponing further cuts in corporation tax.
“Before you storm the stage and protest, let me remind you that this saves £6bn we can put into the priorities of the British people.”
Johnson also unveiled a package of business tax cuts during the event.
He confirmed plans to cut business rates, reduce national insurance contributions for 500,000 employers and increase the scope of research and development tax credits.
The Tories have also promised to increase tax relief on the purchase, building or leasing of property.
He also emphasised the necessity of leaving the EU to restore certainty to the business community.
“There are huge numbers who may have voted remain – and I include distinguished luminaries of the CBI amongst them – but who just want to respect the result of the referendum,” he said.

“After three a half years they think, we think, I think it is time for the paralysis to end, and we have to get Brexit done because it is the best thing for our national mood, and the best thing to take our country forward.
“It is the best thing for the economy because the worst thing is now is the continuing economic uncertainty, people waiting to take on new staff or invest in new property or just to invest in this country.”

Q. What if you create the wrong team enrollment?For example: I created an enrollment that linked Team 5’s sheet to Team 10.
A. Unplug the micro:bit sender. Delete the enrollment. Make a new enrollment with the correct team number and google sheet. Check the micro:bit sender code is the correct team number. You may have to clear the sheet if it already has data. Plug in the micro:bit sender.
Q. My enrollment is correct but what if I (or a student) programmed the micro:bit sender code with the wrong team number? For example: Team 5’s sheet is connected to Team 5, but a student in Team 5 programmed their sender micro:bit to be team 15.
A. Unplug the micro:bit sender. Correct the team number on the sender code and re-download it onto the sender micro:bit. Leave the enrollment as it is. Note: if you already had a team setup for the incorrect sender team number (15 in the above example) there might be data that needs to be deleted in that team’s sheet (team 5’s sheet in the above example).
Q. Can I send data from one micro:bit to multiple sheets? For example: I want one micro:bit to send data to Team 5 and Team 15’s sheets.
A. This is not currently possible. Sheetbroker can only connect a micro:bit to a single sheet. But you can connect multiple micro:bits to the same sheet, they just need to use the same team number.
Q. Can I have multiple micro:bit senders sending data to the same Google spreadsheet? For example: Team 4 wants to have micro:bit A to send temperature data and micro:bit B to send light data.
A. Yes. Just be sure all the micro:bit senders are all using the same team number. You can see how many micro:bits are connected to a single sheet by looking at the enrollments page.
Q. Can I change the team number that a micro:bit is sending?
A. Yes. Just change the sender code on that micro:bit. Be sure to either make an enrollment for that new team number or delete the old team number enrollment if you are no longer using it.
Q. I have a sheet connected to the correct team, a receiver micro:bit plugged into the pi, a sender micro:bit sending with the proper team number, and I see hearts/faces flashing on both micro:bits, but I don’t see data in the sheet?
A. Check that you have shared the google sheet with Everyone. Give sheetbroker a few minutes after that change and if you are still having issues, contact Felix (Sheetbroker support personnel).


public interface CounselorDAO
This interface exists to provide proper access to the counselors
table.
SQL is written in the SqlUpdate and SqlQuery
annotations above every function
and then rewritten and executed by JDBI.
The CounselorDAO
interface is used by the CounselorResources
class in the resources
package.
RegisterMapper
annotation allows JDBI to bind the CounselorMapper
class to this interface.
Without the RegisterMapper
annotation, the SQL query results would not bind properly
to the Counselor Object.

Letter Arrangements
This was the last project in the 2D Fundamentals class. The assignment was to create a series of squares with the font of our choosing, paint them, and create a visually interesting piece by finding an arrangement that we felt worked. I found this one quite challenging, finding an arrangement of the letters was difficult; in addition, getting all the letters to fit onto the artboard was a challenge as well. In the end, I came up with an arrangement that I was satisfied with using a simple typeface. I quite liked the letterform “i” of this particular font as it reminded me visually of people, and when drawn on the same square, reminded me of individuals interacting with one another.

safe-buffer
Safer Node.js Buffer API
Use the new Node.js Buffer APIs (Buffer.from
, Buffer.alloc
,
Buffer.allocUnsafe
, Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow
) in all versions of Node.js.
Uses the built-in implementation when available.
install
npm install safe-buffer
usage
The goal of this package is to provide a safe replacement for the node.js Buffer
.
It’s a drop-in replacement for Buffer
. You can use it by adding one require
line to
the top of your node.js modules:
var Buffer = require('safe-buffer').Buffer
// Existing buffer code will continue to work without issues:
new Buffer('hey', 'utf8')
new Buffer([1, 2, 3], 'utf8')
new Buffer(obj)
new Buffer(16) // create an uninitialized buffer (potentially unsafe)
// But you can use these new explicit APIs to make clear what you want:
Buffer.from('hey', 'utf8') // convert from many types to a Buffer
Buffer.alloc(16) // create a zero-filled buffer (safe)
Buffer.allocUnsafe(16) // create an uninitialized buffer (potentially unsafe)
api
Class Method: Buffer.from(array)
array
{Array}
Allocates a new Buffer
using an array
of octets.
const buf = Buffer.from([0x62,0x75,0x66,0x66,0x65,0x72]);
// creates a new Buffer containing ASCII bytes
// ['b','u','f','f','e','r']
A TypeError
will be thrown if array
is not an Array
.
Class Method: Buffer.from(arrayBuffer[, byteOffset[, length]])
arrayBuffer
{ArrayBuffer} The.buffer
property of aTypedArray
or anew ArrayBuffer()
byteOffset
{Number} Default:0
length
{Number} Default:arrayBuffer.length - byteOffset
When passed a reference to the .buffer
property of a TypedArray
instance,
the newly created Buffer
will share the same allocated memory as the
TypedArray.
const arr = new Uint16Array(2);
arr[0] = 5000;
arr[1] = 4000;
const buf = Buffer.from(arr.buffer); // shares the memory with arr;
console.log(buf);
// Prints: <Buffer 88 13 a0 0f>
// changing the TypedArray changes the Buffer also
arr[1] = 6000;
console.log(buf);
// Prints: <Buffer 88 13 70 17>
The optional byteOffset
and length
arguments specify a memory range within
the arrayBuffer
that will be shared by the Buffer
.
const ab = new ArrayBuffer(10);
const buf = Buffer.from(ab, 0, 2);
console.log(buf.length);
// Prints: 2
A TypeError
will be thrown if arrayBuffer
is not an ArrayBuffer
.
Class Method: Buffer.from(buffer)
buffer
{Buffer}
Copies the passed buffer
data onto a new Buffer
instance.
const buf1 = Buffer.from('buffer');
const buf2 = Buffer.from(buf1);
buf1[0] = 0x61;
console.log(buf1.toString());
// 'auffer'
console.log(buf2.toString());
// 'buffer' (copy is not changed)
A TypeError
will be thrown if buffer
is not a Buffer
.
Class Method: Buffer.from(str[, encoding])
str
{String} String to encode.encoding
{String} Encoding to use, Default:'utf8'
Creates a new Buffer
containing the given JavaScript string str
. If
provided, the encoding
parameter identifies the character encoding.
If not provided, encoding
defaults to 'utf8'
.
const buf1 = Buffer.from('this is a tést');
console.log(buf1.toString());
// prints: this is a tést
console.log(buf1.toString('ascii'));
// prints: this is a tC)st
const buf2 = Buffer.from('7468697320697320612074c3a97374', 'hex');
console.log(buf2.toString());
// prints: this is a tést
A TypeError
will be thrown if str
is not a string.
Class Method: Buffer.alloc(size[, fill[, encoding]])
size
{Number}fill
{Value} Default:undefined
encoding
{String} Default:utf8
Allocates a new Buffer
of size
bytes. If fill
is undefined
, the
Buffer
will be zero-filled.
const buf = Buffer.alloc(5);
console.log(buf);
// <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00>
The size
must be less than or equal to the value of
require('buffer').kMaxLength
(on 64-bit architectures, kMaxLength
is
(2^31)-1
). Otherwise, a [RangeError
][] is thrown. A zero-length Buffer will
be created if a size
less than or equal to 0 is specified.
If fill
is specified, the allocated Buffer
will be initialized by calling
buf.fill(fill)
. See [buf.fill()
][] for more information.
const buf = Buffer.alloc(5, 'a');
console.log(buf);
// <Buffer 61 61 61 61 61>
If both fill
and encoding
are specified, the allocated Buffer
will be
initialized by calling buf.fill(fill, encoding)
. For example:
const buf = Buffer.alloc(11, 'aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=', 'base64');
console.log(buf);
// <Buffer 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64>
Calling Buffer.alloc(size)
can be significantly slower than the alternative
Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)
but ensures that the newly created Buffer
instance
contents will never contain sensitive data.
A TypeError
will be thrown if size
is not a number.
Class Method: Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)
size
{Number}
Allocates a new non-zero-filled Buffer
of size
bytes. The size
must
be less than or equal to the value of require('buffer').kMaxLength
(on 64-bit
architectures, kMaxLength
is (2^31)-1
). Otherwise, a [RangeError
][] is
thrown. A zero-length Buffer will be created if a size
less than or equal to
0 is specified.
The underlying memory for Buffer
instances created in this way is not
initialized. The contents of the newly created Buffer
are unknown and
may contain sensitive data. Use [buf.fill(0)
][] to initialize such
Buffer
instances to zeroes.
const buf = Buffer.allocUnsafe(5);
console.log(buf);
// <Buffer 78 e0 82 02 01>
// (octets will be different, every time)
buf.fill(0);
console.log(buf);
// <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00>
A TypeError
will be thrown if size
is not a number.
Note that the Buffer
module pre-allocates an internal Buffer
instance of
size Buffer.poolSize
that is used as a pool for the fast allocation of new
Buffer
instances created using Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)
(and the deprecated
new Buffer(size)
constructor) only when size
is less than or equal to
Buffer.poolSize >> 1
(floor of Buffer.poolSize
divided by two). The default
value of Buffer.poolSize
is 8192
but can be modified.
Use of this pre-allocated internal memory pool is a key difference between
calling Buffer.alloc(size, fill)
vs. Buffer.allocUnsafe(size).fill(fill)
.
Specifically, Buffer.alloc(size, fill)
will never use the internal Buffer
pool, while Buffer.allocUnsafe(size).fill(fill)
will use the internal
Buffer pool if size
is less than or equal to half Buffer.poolSize
. The
difference is subtle but can be important when an application requires the
additional performance that Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)
provides.
Class Method: Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(size)
size
{Number}
Allocates a new non-zero-filled and non-pooled Buffer
of size
bytes. The
size
must be less than or equal to the value of
require('buffer').kMaxLength
(on 64-bit architectures, kMaxLength
is
(2^31)-1
). Otherwise, a [RangeError
][] is thrown. A zero-length Buffer will
be created if a size
less than or equal to 0 is specified.
The underlying memory for Buffer
instances created in this way is not
initialized. The contents of the newly created Buffer
are unknown and
may contain sensitive data. Use [buf.fill(0)
][] to initialize such
Buffer
instances to zeroes.
When using Buffer.allocUnsafe()
to allocate new Buffer
instances,
allocations under 4KB are, by default, sliced from a single pre-allocated
Buffer
. This allows applications to avoid the garbage collection overhead of
creating many individually allocated Buffers. This approach improves both
performance and memory usage by eliminating the need to track and cleanup as
many Persistent
objects.
However, in the case where a developer may need to retain a small chunk of
memory from a pool for an indeterminate amount of time, it may be appropriate
to create an un-pooled Buffer instance using Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow()
then
copy out the relevant bits.
// need to keep around a few small chunks of memory
const store = [];
socket.on('readable', () => {
const data = socket.read();
// allocate for retained data
const sb = Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(10);
// copy the data into the new allocation
data.copy(sb, 0, 0, 10);
store.push(sb);
});
Use of Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow()
should be used only as a last resort after
a developer has observed undue memory retention in their applications.
A TypeError
will be thrown if size
is not a number.
All the Rest
The rest of the Buffer
API is exactly the same as in node.js.
See the docs.

constructor is overloaded to handle many different argument
types like String
, Array
, Object
, TypedArrayView
(Uint8Array
, etc.),
ArrayBuffer
, and also Number
.
The API is optimized for convenience: you can throw any type at it, and it will try to do what you want.
Because the Buffer constructor is so powerful, you often see code like this:
// Convert UTF-8 strings to hex
function toHex (str) {
return new Buffer(str).toString('hex')
}
But what happens if toHex
is called with a Number
argument?
Remote Memory Disclosure
If an attacker can make your program call the Buffer
constructor with a Number
argument, then they can make it allocate uninitialized memory from the node.js process.
This could potentially disclose TLS private keys, user data, or database passwords.
When the Buffer
constructor is passed a Number
argument, it returns an
UNINITIALIZED block of memory of the specified size
. When you create a Buffer
like
this, you MUST overwrite the contents before returning it to the user.
From the node.js docs:
new Buffer(size)
size
NumberThe underlying memory for
Buffer
instances created in this way is not initialized. The contents of a newly createdBuffer
are unknown and could contain sensitive data. Usebuf.fill(0)
to initialize a Buffer to zeroes.
(Emphasis our own.)
Whenever the programmer intended to create an uninitialized Buffer
you often see code
like this:
var buf = new Buffer(16)
// Immediately overwrite the uninitialized buffer with data from another buffer
for (var i = 0; i < buf.length; i++) {
buf[i] = otherBuf[i]
}
Would this ever be a problem in real code?
Yes. It’s surprisingly common to forget to check the type of your variables in a dynamically-typed language like JavaScript.
Usually the consequences of assuming the wrong type is that your program crashes with an
uncaught exception. But the failure mode for forgetting to check the type of arguments to
the Buffer
constructor is more catastrophic.
Here’s an example of a vulnerable service that takes a JSON payload and converts it to hex:
// Take a JSON payload {str: "some string"} and convert it to hex
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
var data = ''
req.setEncoding('utf8')
req.on('data', function (chunk) {
data += chunk
})
req.on('end', function () {
var body = JSON.parse(data)
res.end(new Buffer(body.str).toString('hex'))
})
})
server.listen(8080)
In this example, an http client just has to send:
{
"str": 1000
}
and it will get back 1,000 bytes of uninitialized memory from the server.
This is a very serious bug. It’s similar in severity to the the Heartbleed bug that allowed disclosure of OpenSSL process memory by remote attackers.
Which real-world packages were vulnerable?
bittorrent-dht
Mathias Buus and I
(Feross Aboukhadijeh) found this issue in one of our own packages,
bittorrent-dht
. The bug would allow
anyone on the internet to send a series of messages to a user of bittorrent-dht
and get
them to reveal 20 bytes at a time of uninitialized memory from the node.js process.
Here’s the commit that fixed it. We released a new fixed version, created a Node Security Project disclosure, and deprecated all vulnerable versions on npm so users will get a warning to upgrade to a newer version.
ws
That got us wondering if there were other vulnerable packages. Sure enough, within a short
period of time, we found the same issue in ws
, the
most popular WebSocket implementation in node.js.
If certain APIs were called with Number
parameters instead of String
or Buffer
as
expected, then uninitialized server memory would be disclosed to the remote peer.
These were the vulnerable methods:
socket.send(number)
socket.ping(number)
socket.pong(number)
Here’s a vulnerable socket server with some echo functionality:
server.on('connection', function (socket) {
socket.on('message', function (message) {
message = JSON.parse(message)
if (message.type === 'echo') {
socket.send(message.data) // send back the user's message
}
})
})
socket.send(number)
called on the server, will disclose server memory.
Here’s the release where the issue was fixed, with a more detailed explanation. Props to Arnout Kazemier for the quick fix. Here’s the Node Security Project disclosure.
What’s the solution?
It’s important that node.js offers a fast way to get memory otherwise performance-critical applications would needlessly get a lot slower.
But we need a better way to signal our intent as programmers. When we want uninitialized memory, we should request it explicitly.
Sensitive functionality should not be packed into a developer-friendly API that loosely accepts many different types. This type of API encourages the lazy practice of passing variables in without checking the type very carefully.
A new API: Buffer.allocUnsafe(number)
The functionality of creating buffers with uninitialized memory should be part of another
API. We propose Buffer.allocUnsafe(number)
. This way, it’s not part of an API that
frequently gets user input of all sorts of different types passed into it.
var buf = Buffer.allocUnsafe(16) // careful, uninitialized memory!
// Immediately overwrite the uninitialized buffer with data from another buffer
for (var i = 0; i < buf.length; i++) {
buf[i] = otherBuf[i]
}
How do we fix node.js core?
We sent a PR to node.js core (merged as
semver-major
) which defends against one case:
var str = 16
new Buffer(str, 'utf8')
In this situation, it’s implied that the programmer intended the first argument to be a
string, since they passed an encoding as a second argument. Today, node.js will allocate
uninitialized memory in the case of new Buffer(number, encoding)
, which is probably not
what the programmer intended.
But this is only a partial solution, since if the programmer does new Buffer(variable)
(without an encoding
parameter) there’s no way to know what they intended. If variable
is sometimes a number, then uninitialized memory will sometimes be returned.
What’s the real long-term fix?
We could deprecate and remove new Buffer(number)
and use Buffer.allocUnsafe(number)
when
we need uninitialized memory. But that would break 1000s of packages.
We believe the best solution is to:
1. Change new Buffer(number)
to return safe, zeroed-out memory
2. Create a new API for creating uninitialized Buffers. We propose: Buffer.allocUnsafe(number)
Update
We now support adding three new APIs:
Buffer.from(value)
- convert from any type to a bufferBuffer.alloc(size)
- create a zero-filled bufferBuffer.allocUnsafe(size)
- create an uninitialized buffer with given size
This solves the core problem that affected ws
and bittorrent-dht
which is
Buffer(variable)
getting tricked into taking a number argument.
This way, existing code continues working and the impact on the npm ecosystem will be
minimal. Over time, npm maintainers can migrate performance-critical code to use
Buffer.allocUnsafe(number)
instead of new Buffer(number)
.
Conclusion
We think there’s a serious design issue with the Buffer
API as it exists today. It
promotes insecure software by putting high-risk functionality into a convenient API
with friendly “developer ergonomics”.
This wasn’t merely a theoretical exercise because we found the issue in some of the most popular npm packages.
Fortunately, there’s an easy fix that can be applied today. Use safe-buffer
in place of
buffer
.
var Buffer = require('safe-buffer').Buffer
Eventually, we hope that node.js core can switch to this new, safer behavior. We believe
the impact on the ecosystem would be minimal since it’s not a breaking change.
Well-maintained, popular packages would be updated to use Buffer.alloc
quickly, while
older, insecure packages would magically become safe from this attack vector.
