Personal values and ethics
I’ve had the privileged to travel to many countries and live in some of them for a while, that gave me a perspective of the world where I could understand the differences in culture, lifestyle, morals and many other interesting things about those places.
By living that experience, I was able to understand and respect all the differences, enjoy and appreciate them, it is incredible how much can you learn from people that are different from you, different beliefs, different language, different culinary, it is amazing how satisfying experiencing those things are, you grow up as a person, you develop more compassion and become more grateful and appreciative for life.
I’ve been living in New Zealand for 5 years, and ever since day one I fell in love for this country, I’ve never felt so welcomed in a foreign country such as here, it is a very multicultural country and everyone is used to living in a such diverse community, I intend to stay here for a long time and help the development of the country and now with software development skills I think I will be able to contribute even more.
Even though I've been living away from home for such a long time, I try to keep my traditions so I don't feel too homesick. My wife and I, we are both from Brazil, and we try to cook some traditional food from our regions in Brazil, we talk to our parents every day via Zoom or WhatsApp, we like to listen to brazilian music and try to keep our culture close to us.
Strengths and Limitations
When it comes to strengths, I am very perseverant and I never give up easily. If I start something I need to finish and I try to do everything the best way a can. Now, I don't know if this is a strength or a weakness, but I am very perfectionist, for instance, my website, I didn't want to publish it before it was perfect, sometimes that can block me from moving forward, in the programming world, sometimes you need to ship something or build something 'acceptable' rather than not publishing anything at all. I saw myself many times not publishing a project because it wasn't perfect.
During this learning phase, being perfectionist is not a good thing, because you have to build something even if it's not perfect, however, being perfectionist is having attention to detail, being organized, setting priority and optimizing your work and your life.
Gathering evidences of my personality from my friends and family, there is one main aspect of my personalty that was unanimous amongst their opinion, the fact that I'm very opinionated and that I talk more than listen. This is something that I'm working on... Yoga maybe 😆
Recently, I've been doing some job interviews for developer roles, and one thing that bothered me a lot, was to come home a keep overthinking, what I could've done differently, what I could've said, and that stresses me out a bit and gives me anxiety. Again, it relates to trying to be perfect all the time, not making mistakes, but that is humanly impossible.
The best strategy to overcome this anxiety is exercising, changing the focus, and trying to stay healthy, if your body is healthy your mind is healthy. Furthermore, I am keen to join the Yoga sessions at EDA.


It is better to specify a diet plan from the calculation of BMR
The BMR is Basal metabolic rate.
BMR is a minimum number of calories required for basic functions at rest
Here is a form to calculate the advanced BMR for you. You can simply get your BMR suggestion by inputting your body information and workout frequence
So here page will give your advanced BMR by times workout frequence parameters.
BMR calculation follows this formula
- BMR(male)=(13.7×weight(kg))+(5.0×height(cm))-(6.8×age)+66
- BMR(female)=(9.6×weight(kg))+(1.8×height(cm))-(4.7×age)+655
- No workout 𝐵𝑀𝑅×1.2
- 1-3 times per week 𝐵𝑀𝑅×1.375
- 4-5 times per week 𝐵𝑀𝑅×1.55
- 6-7 times per week 𝐵𝑀𝑅×1.725


CHARLIE CHAN IN PANAMA (director/writer: Norman Foster; screenwriters: the Charlie Chan character created by Earl Derr Biggers/John Larkin/Lester Ziffren; cinematographer: Virgil E. Miller; editor: Fred Allen; cast: Sidney Toler (Charlie Chan), Kane Richmond (Richard Cabot), Mary Nash (Jennie Finch), Jack LaRue (Manolo), Chris-Pin Martin (Police Sergeant Montero), Lionel Atwill (Cliveden Compton), Jean Rogers (Kathi Lenesch), Lionel Royce (Dr. Rudolph Grosser), Frank Puglia (Achmed Halide), Victor Sen Yung (Number 2 son Jimmy), Addison Richards (Godley), Donald Douglas (Capt. Lewis); Runtime: 67; 20th Century Fox; 1940)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
One of the better versions of the Charlie Chan series, now having Sidney Toler as Chan. He replaced the deceased Warner Oland, and plays Chan in a more avuncular style. This film comes at the onset of WW 11 and therefore has a patriotic theme, which is well-crafted into the sabotage story so as not to seem misplaced storytelling. Chan tries to stop saboteurs from blowing up an American Naval Fleet passing through the Panama Canal. The story is a virtual remake of "Marie Galante" (1934) with Spencer Tracy, but this version is far superior. Director Norman Foster became a protégé of Orson Welles after making this film.
A seaplane lands in Panama City (the city of spies) and an American Secret Agent named Godley embarks to give Charlie Chan, working in disguise as a Panama hat maker, some info on who might be the elusive Ryner, a dangerous spy whom no one has seen before. But before he can give that info, he takes a puff on his cigarette and dies from the poison put in it.
Charlie, working with his goofy Number 2 son, Jimmy, suspects that Ryner must be one of the passengers on the seaplane. He reasons that it had to be someone on the plane who switched cigarette packs with Godley. The passenger list includes the following: Manolo, a smarmy cabaret owner; Kathi Lenesch, an illegal alien from Eastern Europe, who was a stewardess and is now hired to sing in Manolo's dive; Richard Cabot, a handsome square coming to the Canal to be a supervising engineer, who becomes smitten with the frightened Kathi; Jennie Finch, an old maid schoolmarm from Chicago, who is squeamish about her visit to such an exotic place; Cliveden Compton, a British novelist, who has a penchant for snooping; Dr. Rudolph Grosser, an Austrian scientist, who is doing illegal experiments on rats -- he induces them with the bubonic plague; and, Achmed Halide, a tobacco shop owner, who followed Godley to Chan's hat shop and is later on discovered to have a tomb where explosives were transported to the Canal's Power Station.
Charlie gets off some good quotes: "Man without relatives is man without problems." "One enemy is one too many." "When prepared for worst, one can hope for best."
The best part of this enjoyable whodunit, was that it was hard to guess who Ryner was. Charlie figures it out by having all the suspects from the seaplane gathered at the Power Station, as he tells them they will all get killed unless the suspect tells them where the explosives are. Charlie's a wily one!

8.6. Other Pattern Methods
In addition to the main compile factories, the Pattern class contains some helper methods:
split
The two forms of this method are covered in detail, starting on the facing page.
String pattern()
This method returns the regular-expression string argument used to create the pattern.
String toString()
This method, added in Java 1.5, is a synonym for the pattern method.
int flags()
This method returns the flags (as an integer) passed to the compile factory when the pattern was created.
static String quote(String text)
This static method, added in Java
1.5, returns a string suitable for use as a regular-expression argument to Pattern.compile that matches
the literal text provided as the argument. For example, Pattern.quote("main()") returns the string '\Qmain()\E', which, when used as a regular expression, is interpreted as \Qmain()\E, which matches the original argument: 'main()'.
static boolean matches(String regex, CharSequence text)
This static method returns a Boolean indicating whether the regex can exactly match the text (which, as with the argument to the matcher method, can be a String or any object implementing CharSequence ☞ 373). Essentially, this is:
Pattern.compile(regex).matcher(text).matches();
If you need to pass compile options, or gain access to more information about the match than simply whether it was successful, you'll have to use the methods described earlier.
If this method will be called many times (for instance, from within a loop or other code invoked frequently), you'll find it much more efficient to precompile the regex into a Pattern object that you then use each time you actually need to use the regex.
8.6.1. Pattern's split Method, with One Argument
String[] split(CharSequence text)
This pattern method accepts text (a CharSequence) and returns an array of strings from text that are delimited by matches of the pattern's regex. This functionality is also available via the String class split method.
This trivial example
String[] result = Pattern.compile("\\.").split("<IP_ADDRESS>");
returns an array of the four strings ('209', '204', '146', and '22') that are separated by the three matches of \. in the text. This simple example splits on only a single character, but you can split on any regular expression. For example, you might approximate splitting a string into "words" by splitting on non-alphanumerics:
String[] result = Pattern.compile("\\W+").split(Text);
When given a string such as '', it returns the four strings ('What', 's', 'up', and 'Doc') delimited by the three matches of the regex. (If you had non-ASCII text, you'd probably want to use \P{L}+, or perhaps [^\p{L}\p{N}_],
as the regex, instead of \W+ ☞ 367.)
8.6.2. Empty elements with adjacent matches
If the regex can match at the beginning of the text, the first string returned by split is an empty string (a valid string, but one that contains no characters). Similarly, if the regex can match two or more times in a row, empty strings are returned for the zero-length text "separated" by the adjacent matches. For example,
String[] result = Pattern.compile("\\s*,\\s*").split(", one, two , ,, 3");
splits on a comma and any surrounding whitespace, returning an array of five strings: an empty string, 'one', 'two', two empty strings, and '3'.
Finally, any empty strings that might appear at the end of the list are suppressed:
String[] result = Pattern.compile(":").split(":xx:");
This produces only two strings: an empty string and 'xx'. To keep trailing empty elements, use the two-argument version of split, described next.

1 AFR HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH, BILASPUR Criminal Misc. Petition No.515 of 2011 1. South Eastern Coal Fields Limited, Gevra Area, Distt. Korba (C.G.) 2. Chief General Manager, Dipka Expansion Project, South Eastern Coal Fields Limited, Gevra Area, Distt. Korba (C.G.) (Applicants) ---- Petitioners Versus Chhattisgarh Environment Protection Board, Korba, Through the Regional Officer, Chhattisgarh Environment Protection Board, Regional Office Near Ghantaghar, HIG 21, 22, MP Nagar (Extension), Korba, Distt. Korba (C.G.) (Non-applicant) ---- Respondent
For Petitioners: Mr. Shailendra Shukla, Advocate. For Respondent: Mr. Animesh Tiwari, Advocate.
Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order On Board 18/06/2019
1. The Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board (for short, 'the Board') through its Regional Officer filed a complaint under Section 200 of the CrPC read with Section 19 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 against petitioner No.1 - South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL), a company incorporated under the provisions of the Indian Companies Act, 1956 and its Chief General Manager, Dipka Project - petitioner No.2 herein for commission of the offence punishable under Sections 15 & 17 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (for short, 'the Act of 1986') stating inter alia that petitioner No.1 SECL was granted consent under the provisions of Sections 25 & 27 of the Water (Prevention and Control 2 of Pollution) Act, 1974 which was renewed from time to time, but it was not renewed after 30-11-2001 and the SECL is continuing its extraction of coal which is violation of Sections 6 & 7 of the Act of 1986 and punishable under Sections 15 & 17 of the Act of 1986. It was also pleaded that after the said grant, petitioner No.1 SECL has expanded its mining capacity from 10 million tonnes to 15.394 million tonnes from 2001-2002, but no such consent was obtained from the Board which is clear violation of Sections 6 & 7 of the Act of 1986 and petitioner No.1 SECL and petitioner No.2 - its Chief General Manager are responsible for obtaining the said consent and without obtaining consent to protect the environment, they are involved in continuous mining work, therefore, they are liable to be punished and the said act was punishable under Sections 15 & 17 of the Act of 1986. The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Korba, on satisfying himself with the averments of the complaint made and documents annexed thereto, took cognizance of the offence under Sections 15 & 17 of the Act of 1986 against the petitioners herein and issued process thereon.
2. The petitioners herein without entering into appearance before the said Court, after receiving the summons, immediately questioned the order taking cognizance dated 29-8-2005 by way of revision under Section 397 read with Section 399 of the CrPC before the Court of Session. The revisional Court by the impugned order dated 9-6-2011 dismissed the revision finding no merit. Feeling aggrieved and dissatisfied with the order dismissing revision and affirming the order of taking cognizance, this petition under Section 482 of the CrPC has been filed by the SECL questioning those 3 orders.
3. Mr. Shailendra Shukla, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, would make two fold contentions: -
1. The complaint under Section 200 of the CrPC read with Section 19 of the Act of 1986 was filed by the Board through its Regional Officer which is violative of Section 19(a) of the Act of 1986, as the Central Government has not authorized the Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board to file complaint and since the manner of instituting complaint has already been provided in the Act of 1986, therefore, in absence of valid authorization under Section 19(a) of the Act of 1986 by the Central Government, the complaint case as framed and filed and cognizance taken by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate deserve to be quashed being non- maintainable.
2. The offences are said to have been committed by petitioner No.1 Company and petitioner No.2 is said to be the Chief General Manager, but there is no averment that petitioner No.2 was the person who, at the time of alleged offence committed, was directly in-charge of and responsible to the company for the conduct of business, as pleading to that effect is absolutely lacking and missing in the complaint, therefore, the complaint filed and cognizance taken are liable to be quashed.
4. Mr. Animesh Tiwari, learned counsel appearing for the respondent, while replying the contentions made on behalf of the petitioners, would submit as under: -
4
1. By notification dated 16th April, 1987, the Central Government has authorized the Regional Officers of the State Board for institution of complaint under Section 19(a) of the Act of 1986 and therefore this objection that the complaint is filed by an unauthorised person, has no legs to stand.
2. Though the pleading as mandated in Section 16(1) of the Act of 1986 that petitioner No.2 was the person who at the time the alleged offence was committed was directly in-charge of and responsible to the company, has not been pleaded, but substantially the requirements of Section 16(1) have already been pleaded in the complaint in paragraphs 9, 10 & 11, therefore, substantial compliance of the proviso to Section 16(1) has been made. As such, technical objection should not prevail over the overwhelming public health and the matter requiring protection of environment has to be construed strictly and the petition being devoid of merit deserves to be dismissed.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, considered the rival submissions and also went through the record with utmost circumspection.
6. On consideration of the submissions of learned counsel for the parties, following two questions arise for consideration: -
1. Whether, the complaint as framed and filed is bad for non- compliance of Section 19(a) of the Act of 1986?
2. Whether, the compliant is liable to be rejected for non- compliance of Section 16(1) of the Act of 1986? 5 Re Question No.1: -
7. Section 19(a) of the Act of 1986 provides as under: -
"19. Cognizance of offences.--No court shall take cognizance of any offence under this Act except on a complaint made by--
(a) the Central Government or any authority or officer authorised in this behalf by that Government; or
(b) xxx xxx xxx"
8. A careful analysis of the language of Section 19(a) of the Act of 1986 clearly shows that it prohibits institution of prosecution for an offence under the Act except on fulfillment of one or two conditions, either the prosecution must be instituted by the Central Government or the State Government or a person authorised in that behalf by the Central Government or by any authority or officer authorised in this behalf by the Central Government.
9. The Supreme Court in the matter of A.K. Roy and another v. State of Punjab and others 1 while dealing with the provisions contained in Section 20(1) of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 has clearly held that where a power is given to do a certain thing in a certain way, the thing must be done in that way or not at all. Other modes of performance are necessarily forbidden. It was further held that the intention of the legislature in enacting Section 20(1) was to confer a power on the authorities specified therein which power had to be exercised in the manner provided and not otherwise.
10. Now, the question is whether in the instant case, the provisions contained in Section 19(a) of the Act of 1986 have been complied 1 (1986) 4 SCC 326 6 with while filing the complaint?
11. The notification issued by the Central Government on 16th of April, 1987, has been brought to the notice of this Court during the course of hearing, which has been issued by the Central Government under S.O. 394(E) in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 19(a) of the Act of 1986 which authorises the Regional Officers of the State Board for the prevention and control of water pollution who have been delegated powers under Sections 20, 21 & 23 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. The said notification dated 16th April, 1987 states as under: -
"S.O. 394(E).--In exercise of the powers conferred under clause (a) of section 19 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986), the Central Government hereby authorises the officers and authorities listed in column (2) of the Table hereto for the purposes of the said section with the jurisdiction mentioned against each of them in column (3) of that Table:
TABLE Serial Officer Jurisdiction No.
(1) (2) (3) 1. xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx 2. xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx 3. xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx 4. xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx 5. xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx 6. xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx
7. Regional Officers of the State Area as laid Board for the prevention and down by the control of water pollution who State Board have been delegated powers under section 20, 21 and 23 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.
8. Regional Officers of the State Area as laid Board for the prevention and down by the Control of Air Pollution who State Board have been delegated powers 7 under section 24 of the air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.
12. As such, the Regional Officer of the State Board exercising power under the respective provisions of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 has been authorised by the Central Government to exercise the power and to file complaint under Section 19 of the Act of 1986 and the complaint filed by the Regional Officer of the State Board would be valid institution of compliant as officer authorised by the Central Government.
13. Reverting to the facts of the present case, in this case, compliant has been filed by the Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board through its Regional Officer who is the authorised person within the meaning of Section 19(a) of the Act of 1986, as duly authorised by the Central Government by notification dated 16 th April, 1987. As such, there is sufficient compliance of the provision contained in Section 19(a) of the Act of 1986 and therefore the submission raised in this behalf on the part of the petitioners is hereby repelled, as the complaint instituted by the Regional Officer of the respondent Board is strictly in accordance with law. Re Question No.2: -
14. In order to answer question No.2, it would be expedient to notice Section 16 of the Act of 1986 which provides as under: -
"16. Offences by companies.--(1) Where any offence under this Act has been committed by a company, every person who, at the time the offence was committed, was directly in charge of, and was responsible to, the company for the conduct of the business of the company, as well as the company, shall be deemed to be guilty of 8 the offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly:
Provided that nothing contained in this sub-section shall render any such person liable to any punishment provided in this Act, if he proves that the offence was committed without his knowledge or that he exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offence.
(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub- section (1), where an offence under this Act has been committed by a company and it is proved that the offence has been committed with the consent or connivance of, or is attributable to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other officer of the company, such director, manager, secretary or other officer shall also be deemed to be guilty of that offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.
Explanation.--For the purposes of this section,--
(a) "company" means any body corporate, and includes a firm or other association of individuals; and
(b) "director", in relation to a firm, means a partner in the firm."
15. A careful perusal of Section 16(1) of the Act of 1986 would show that it creates a deeming legal fiction whereby every person, who is in charge of and/or responsible to the company for the conduct of its business becomes automatically guilty of the offence committed by such a company and is liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly. No other overt act and or direct commission of the offence by such a person is necessary barring the factum of being in charge of the company or responsible thereto for the conduct of the business of the company.
16. In the matter of S.M.S. Pharmaceuticals Ltd. v. Neeta Bhalla and another 2, with reference to Section 141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, which also deals with offences by 2 (2005) 8 SCC 89 9 companies, Their Lordships of the Supreme Court have clearly held that it is necessary to specifically aver in a complaint under Section 141 that at the time the offence was committed, the person accused was in charge of and responsible for the conduct of business of the company. Their Lordships further held that this averment is an essential requirement of Section 141 and that has to be made in the complaint. The proposition of law so laid was followed in the matters of K.K. Ahuja v. V.K. Vora and another 3, National Small Industries Corporation Limited v. Harmeet Singh Paintal and another 4, A.K. Singhania v. Gujarat State Fertilizer Company Limited and another 5 and Gunmala Sales Private Limited v. Anu Mehta and others 6.
17. But, the question is whether the words "was directly in charge of, and was responsible to, the company for the conduct of the business of the company" are necessarily to be incorporated in the complaint in order to make the complaint maintainable?
18. The aforesaid question was considered by a Full Bench of the Patna High Court in the matter of Mahmud Ali v. State of Bihar and another 7 relating to Section 47(1) of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 which is pari materia to Section 16 of the Act of 1986 and the Full Bench held that Section 47(1) of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 does not necessarily mandate the incorporation of the words "was in charge of and was responsible to the company for the conduct of the 3 (2009) 10 SCC 48 4 (2010) 3 SCC 330 5 (2013) 16 SCC 630 6 (2015) 1 SCC 103 7 AIR 1986 Patna 133 10 business of the company" being rules of evidence and deeming fictions. It was held in paragraphs 8 and 9 of the report, relying upon its earlier decision in the matter of Ram Kripal Prasad v. State of Bihar 8, as under: -
"8. Analysed as above, Section 47(1) spells out a deeming fiction of vicarious liability and a rule of evidence laying the burden of proof on persons in charge of and responsible to the company for the conduct of its business.
9. Once it is held as above, the argument of the learned counsel for the petitioner falls in its place and stands conclusively repelled. It is settled beyond cavil that rules of evidence and deeming fictions are not to be expressly spelt out and pleaded. They are matters which are for consideration and application in the course of the trial. To require that the complaint itself must plead a rule of evidence or, in terms, spell out a deeming fiction provided by the statute therein is an argument bordering on hypertechnicality. One must always keep in mind the broader perspective that the administration of criminal law is more a matter of substance than of form and should not be allowed to be obscured by pettifogging technicality. This aspect seems to be well covered if not wholly concluded by the recent Full Bench judgment of this Court in Ram Kripal Prasad v. State of Bihar, 1985 Pat LJR 271 : (1985 Cri LJ 1048). Therein also in the context of Section 14 of the Employees' Provident Funds Scheme, 1952 it was argued that the petition of complaint must, in term, plead each and every relevant fact including the precise number of employees in the establishment. Repelling such a contention on principle and precedent, it was concluded by the Full Bench in the terms following : --
"To sum up on this aspect, the answer to question No. (iii) formulated at the outset has to be rendered in the negative and it is held that a petition of complaint for offences under Section 14 of the Act need not in terms plead each and every minuscule relevant fact nor the precise number of employees of the prosecuted establishment. In any event, the failure to do so does not vitiate the proceedings on such technical ground alone." "
19. In the matter of U.P. Pollution Control Board v. Modi Distillery 9, Their Lordships of the Supreme Court taking note of the provisions 8 1985 Pat LJR 271 : 1985 Cri LJ 1048 9 (1987) 3 SCC 684 11 contained in Sections 25(1), (2) and 26 as well as Sections 44 and 47 and the averments in the complaint after finding that prima facie materials are available and all the issues to be dealt with by the Judicial Magistrate at the time of trial, set aside the order of the High Court interfering with the order of the CJM directing issue of process to the respondents and directed the learned Magistrate to proceed with the trial in accordance with law. It was held by Their Lordships in Modi Distillery's case (supra) that strict approach adopted over the offenders causing air, water and other pollutions should be made. Those who discharge noxious polluting effluents into streams, rivers or any other water bodies which inflicts on the public health at large should be, should be dealt with strictly dehors the technical objections.
20. The proposition of law laid down in Modi Distillery's case (supra) was followed with approval by the Supreme Court in the matter of U.P. Pollution Control Board v. Dr. Bhupendra Kumar Modi and another 10 and it was held as under: -
"38. In the case on hand which is also similar to Mohan Meakins Ltd.11 had commenced its journey in the year 1985, nonetheless lapse of such a long period cannot be a reason to absolve the respondents from the trial. In a matter of this nature, particularly, when it affects public health if it is ultimately proved, courts cannot afford to deal lightly with cases involving pollution of air and water.
The message must go to all persons concerned whether small or big that the courts will share the parliamentary concern and legislative intent of the Act to check the escalating pollution level and restore the balance of our environment. Those who discharge noxious polluting effluents into streams, rivers or any other water bodies which inflicts (sic harm) on the public health at large, should be dealt with strictly dehors the technical objections. Since escalating pollution level of our environment affects the life and health of human beings 10 (2009) 2 SCC 147 11 U.P. Pollution Control Board v. Mohan Meakins Ltd., (2000) 3 SCC 745 12 as well as animals, the courts should not deal with the prosecution for offences under the pollution and environmental Acts in a causal or routine manner."
21. At this place, it would be most appropriate to notice the observation by His Lordship S.P. Bharucha, J. speaking for the Supreme Court in the matter of Narmada Bachao Andolan v. Union of India 12 which reads as follows: -
"An adverse impact on the environment can have disastrous consequences for this generation and generations to come."
22. Similarly, H.L. Gokhale, J. speaking for the Supreme Court in the matter of Municipal Corpn. of Greater Mumbai v. Kohinoor CTNL Infrastructure Co. (P) Ltd. 13 observed as under: -
"The right to a clean and healthy environment is within the ambit of Article 21. Furthermore, the right to a clean and pollution free environment, is also a right under our common law jurisprudence."
23. Reverting to the facts of the present case in light of the principles of law laid down in the aforesaid judgments, it would be appropriate to first notice the averments made in the complaint as to the responsibility of petitioner No.2 for day to day affairs / conduct of the business of the company in light of Section 16 of the Act of 1986. Paragraphs 9, 10 and 11 of the complaint read as follows: -
"9. यह कक, अकभिययक्त क्रमममांक-1 ककोयलम उत्खनन करनने वमलल पररयकोजनम (समांस्थमन) हहै तथम अकभिययक्त क्रमममांक-2 इस पररयकोजनम कने प्रमयख महमप्रबमांधक हहै अकभिययक्त गण कने कवरुद्ध पररवमद पत्र प्रस्तयत करनने हनेतय पररवमदल समांस्थम कको भिमरत शमसन पयमर्यावरण एवमां वन ममांत्रमलय दमरम अनयमकत प्रदमन ककी गई हहै जजसकम पत्र क्रमममांक जने . 11015/87/2003-आई. ए.-II (एम.) 7 जयलमई 2005 तथम पत्र क्रमममांक जने. 15012/29/2002 आइ.ए.-

24. A careful perusal of the aforesaid averments would reveal that the respondent Board has clearly averred that petitioner No.1 is a company who is responsible for obtaining necessary clearance from the Board which it has not taken and petitioner No.2 being the Chief General Manager of the petitioner No.1 Company is also responsible and they are violating the provisions contained in Sections 6 and 7 of the Act of 1986. It was also averred that despite notice dated 27-8-2002, the petitioners have not obtained necessary consent and therefore they are liable to be punished and proceeded for violation of Sections 15 and 17 of the Act of 1986.
25. In my considered opinion, such an averment made in the complaint is substantial compliance of Section 16 of the Act of 1986, at present, which is subject to evidence by the parties during the course of trial and which is pending consideration and it cannot be held at this stage, that there is no compliance of Section 16 of the Act of 1986. This plea is left and kept open to be considered by the 14 learned trial Magistrate during trial. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the plea based on Section 16 of the Act of 1986. It will be considered and decided by the trial Magistrate.
26. I do not see any illegality or infirmity in the order taking cognizance by the learned Magistrate for commission of the aforesaid offence. Thus, the order taking cognizance as well as the order of the revisional Court rejecting the revision are hereby affirmed though for different reasons assigned herein-above. Concludingly, I do not find any merit in this petition under Section 482 of the CrPC, it deserves to be and is accordingly dismissed subject to the above- stated observation leaving the parties to bear their own cost(s).

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS
Starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro
Written by Alex Cox, Tod Davies, Terry Gilliam and Tony Grisoni
Directed by Terry Gilliam
I've always preferred mushrooms to blotter acid. Dropping acid is like riding a roller coaster blindfolded; you have no idea where the peaks and valleys are, no idea when the next terrifying decent will send your stomach into your throat, and no idea how long the ride will last. Then there's the hard knot in your gut and the clenched teeth that come with ingesting a strychnine-laced dose. Mushrooms, on the other hand, offer the psychedelic equivalent of a leisurely ride on a Ferris wheel: a steady, reassuring assent, a short period of thrilling motion and color, and then a smooth landing. Acid is for daredevils; mushrooms are for refined seekers of joy.
My point is that in FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, director Terry Gilliam has made an acid movie, when I wish he would have made a mushroom movie. Full of shocking sight gags, aggressive images and grotesque comic performances, the film certainly offers something for those fans of Hunter S. Thompson's book who want to experience its twisted pharmacological world-view from the inside out. But for those of us who just want to enjoy a well-made film, Gilliam has produced a mixed bag.
FEAR AND LOATHING tells the ostensibly true story of how self-professed "gonzo" journalist Hunter S. Thompson (Johnny Depp) and Hispanic activist attorney Oscar Zeta Actosta (Benicio Del Toro), came to Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race and found themselves trapped in the middle of a District Attorney's convention while ingesting every conceivable drug available to a man of means in 1971. Operating under the pseudonyms of "Raoul Duke" and "Dr. Gonzo", the two men careen into Vegas on an acid and mescaline bender, then hole up in a hotel suite to binge on amyl nitrite, cocaine, tequila and a rainbow of multi-colored uppers and downers. They terrorize every one they meet, mostly because every one they meet terrifies them. Duke hallucinates giant bats on the way into town, then is attacked by horrifying lizards in the casino lounge. Dr. Gonzo becomes enamored of a thick-bladed hunting knife and begs Duke to throw the tape player into the bathtub with him just as Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" reaches its climax.  That neither of them ends up dead or in jail is testament to blind luck or Providence, depending on your point of view.
Thompson's book, besides being a hilarious read, has stood the test of time as an important historical document. It simultaneously exposed the 60's drug culture for the sham that it was and exposed Las Vegas as the place where the American Dream came to die. Pontificate all you want about how the film illustrates Thompson's message, but the truth is that, stripped to its bare essentials, what Gilliam has wrought is a drug comedy. It's a Cheech and Chong movie. You're there to watch Depp and del Toro ingest a lot of chemicals and then laugh at the results: see Johnny take drugs, see Johnny fall down.
There's nothing wrong with this concept, but Gilliam tries too hard. This is a frantic movie - all sweaty close-ups, wide-angle lenses, Dutch tilts and other-worldly lighting schemes. There are times when Gilliam really does put a convincing representation of an acid trip on the screen. But to what end? Much of the dialogue comes verbatim from Thompson's book, and there are some priceless comic observations. But you're hard pressed to hear or digest them amidst all the jumbled camera work. This brings us to the performances, which strike me as all wrong. Depp plays Thompson as Groucho Marks filtered through George C. Scott in PATTON - a gimmicky performance which works against the biting satire of Thompson's dialogue. In between his several puking scenes, Del Toro fares better as Dr. Gonzo, but he also mumbles and sputters so many of his lines that their weight is lost. Watching these two made me wish that the movie had been made twenty years ago, with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi as the leads - now that would have been something to see.
It's interesting to note that Alex Cox, credited as a co-writer on the screenplay, was originally slated to direct before Gilliam took over. As much of a fan as I am of Gilliam's work, Cox would have been the better choice. SID AND NANCY, Cox's best work, covered essentially the same subject matter, but Cox was able to pull back and allow the characters of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen to carry the film. Gilliam commits the compound sin of over-directing his film while being uncertain of his purpose. What kind of movie was he trying to make, anyway? It doesn't try to be a cautionary tale, and it doesn't work as broad comedy. If he had considered more carefully his purpose, the result would have been a much more interesting film. But I don't want to be too hard on it. There are some truly funny moments, and if you're in a good enough mood you might get a kick out of it. I do, however, recommend watching FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS under the influence of your favorite controlled substance - I guarantee it will enhance the effect.

STEP 15: Creating Scriptable Instances
|
While we've shown in the previous step that using Music Object's Music.magicEmbed static method can produce cleaner cross-browser code than the combined EMBED-OBJECT tag approach, we still don't get the benefits of scriptable interactivity provided by the Music Object API. In order to be able to control the Player instance after it has been created, we need to first create a Music Object instance and then use that instance's magicEmbed method instead of the Music.magicEmbed static method.
Take a look at the before-and-after comparison below to see how we've taken the code from the previous step in this tutorial and translated it to use the magicEmbed instance method in place of the Music.magicEmbed static method...
| BEFORE (Using the Music.magicEmbed Static Method) |
<SCRIPT SRC="music-object.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript><!-- // Music.magicEmbed ( 'SRC="trance.rmf" ' + 'WIDTH=144 ' + 'HEIGHT=60 ' + 'DISPLAY=SONG ' + 'AUTOSTART=FALSE ' + 'LOOP=FALSE' ); // --></SCRIPT> |
| AFTER (Using the magicEmbed Instance Method) |
<SCRIPT SRC="music-object.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript><!-- // myMusicObject = new Music (); myMusicObject.magicEmbed ( 'SRC="trance.rmf" ' + 'WIDTH=144 ' + 'HEIGHT=60 ' + 'DISPLAY=SONG ' + 'AUTOSTART=FALSE ' + 'LOOP=FALSE' ); // --></SCRIPT> |
The text that is highlighted represents text that has been added or changed in order to use the instance method instead of the static method. You will notice how we've created a new Music Object instance in the statement
Of course, we still don't have any actual scripting for interactive control of the Player instance - we've just set up the foundation to allow the Player instance to be controlled through the Music Object instance "myMusicObject". In the following source code listing we've added some more HTML code to control the playback of the Player instance from HTML form buttons. This is quite an unimaginitive example of interactive music, but it does serve to illustrate the principle...
<SCRIPT SRC="music-object.js"></SCRIPT>
<CENTER>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript><!-- //
myMusicObject = new Music ();
myMusicObject.magicEmbed (
'SRC="trance.rmf" ' +
'WIDTH=144 ' +
'HEIGHT=60 ' +
'DISPLAY=SONG ' +
'AUTOSTART=FALSE ' +
'LOOP=FALSE'
);
// --></SCRIPT>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE=button VALUE="PLAY" ONCLICK="myMusicObject.play ()">
<INPUT TYPE=button VALUE="PAUSE" ONCLICK="myMusicObject.pause ()">
<INPUT TYPE=button VALUE="STOP" ONCLICK="myMusicObject.stop (2000)">
</FORM>
</CENTER>
|
The text that is highlighted indicates the text that has been added to achieve a very token level of musical interactivity. A simple form containing three buttons lets the user control the play, pause, and stop functions of the Player instance that is embedded right above the buttons. Of course, with a more ambitious and more imaginitive Web site sonification, it could be any events within a page that controls a Player instance. Notice how each INPUT tag has an ONCLICK event handler, each calling a different method of the Music Object instance "myMusicObject".
Now, below you will see the results that this HTML code generates. Click the buttons and see how it works...

Introduction - Features - Startup - Acknowledgements
The Demo application was developed for the purpose of demonstrating how to build an application using the application framework. The Demo is a simple plain text editor. It demonstrates how to build a simple document based application but does not demonstrate all of the features available in the framework.
This demo application is not intended to be a full featured text editor. Rather, it is intended to demonstrate how to build an application using the application framework. This application is a simple plain text editor. You can edit text in a document and save it to a file. You can have multiple documents open at the same time. The application framework provides most of the functionality for free. The demo application implements very little code. Some of the features are for demo purposes only and don't do anything of particular value. For example a preference dialog is implemented that changes the background color of the text editor. A "Special" menu is implemented to demonstrate how to customize the menubar and implement menu item actions whose enable states are dynamically updated to reflect the model state.
The basic steps for starting the application:
Apache XML DOM parsers are used for parsing XML files.
Other third party libraries may have been used either directly or indirectly in development of this application or the XAL framework upon which it relies.

FIRST READING Romans 8:18-25
“Creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.”
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans
Brethren: I consider that the sufferings of this
present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God;
for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will
of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself will be set free
from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of
God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together
until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first
fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the
redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen
is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not
see, we wait for it with patience.
The word of the Lord
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 126:1-2ab.2cd-3.4-5.6 (R. 3a)
R. What great deeds the Lord worked for us!
When the LORD brought back the exiles of Sion, we thought we were dreaming.  What great deeds the Lord worked for us!
Then the nations themselves said, 'What great deeds
the LORD worked for them!' What great deeds the LORD worked for us! Indeed, we
were glad.
R. What great deeds the Lord worked for us!
Bring back our exiles, O LORD, as streams in the
south. Those who are sowing in tears will sing when they reap.
R. What great deeds the Lord worked for us!

R. What great deeds the Lord worked for us!
FIRST READING Ephesians 5:21-33
“This is a great mystery, and I mean in reference to Christ and the Church.”
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians
Brethren: Be subject to one another out of reverence
for Christ. Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the
church, his body, and is himself its Saviour.
As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything
to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as
Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her,
having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that he might
present the church to himself in splendour, without
spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his
wife loves himself. For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and
cherishes it, as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.
"For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his
wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This mystery is a profound one,
and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church; however, let each one
of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her
husband.
The word of the Lord
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 128:1-2.3.4-5 (R. 1a)
R. Blessed are all who fear the Lord.
Blessed are all who fear the LORD, and walk in his
ways! By the labour of your hands you shall eat. You
will be blessed and prosper.
R. Blessed are all who fear the Lord.

R. Blessed are all who fear the Lord.
Indeed thus shall be blessed the man who fears the
LORD. May the LORD bless you from Sion. May you see
R. Blessed are all who fear the Lord.
R. Alleluia. Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom. R. Alleluia.

This setting is only used with the pattern
filtertype and is a required setting.
This setting tells the pattern what pattern type to
match. Acceptable values for this setting are prefix
, suffix
, timestring
,
and regex
.
Filter chaining
It is important to note that while filters can be chained, each is linked by an implied logical AND operation. If you want to match from one of several different patterns, as with a logical OR operation, you can do so with the pattern filtertype using regex as the kind.
This example shows how to select multiple indices based on them beginning with
either alpha-
, bravo-
, or charlie-
:
filters: - filtertype: pattern kind: regex value: '^(alpha-|bravo-|charlie-).*$'
Explaining all of the different ways in which regular expressions can be used is outside the scope of this document, but hopefully this gives you some idea of how a regular expression pattern can be used when a logical OR is desired.
There is no default value. This setting must be set by the user or an exception will be raised, and execution will halt.

The tools include a graphical administration interface, an SQL query tool, a procedural code debugger and much more. The tool is designed to answer the needs of developers, DBAs and system administrators alike.


We are now in a good place to discuss our first quantum algorithms and subroutines. Let’s begin with Grover’s search algorithm and the amplitude amplification trick.
You have likely heard that one of the many advantages a quantum computer has over a classical computer is its superior speed searching databases. Grover’s algorithm demonstrates this capability. This algorithm can speed up an unstructured search problem quadratically, but its uses extend beyond that; it can serve as a general trick or subroutine to obtain quadratic run time improvements for a variety of other algorithms. This is called the amplitude amplification trick. But before we start the simulations, let’s look at the unstructured search problem.
Suppose you are given a large list of \(N\) items. Among these items there is one item with a unique property that we wish to locate; we will call this one the winner \(w\). Think of each item in the list as a box of a particular color. Say all items in the list are gray except the winner \(w\), which is pink.
To find the pink box – the marked item – using classical computation, one would have to check on average \(N/2\) of these boxes, and in the worst case, all \(N\) of them. On a quantum computer, however, we can find the marked item in roughly \(\sqrt{N}\) steps with Grover’s amplitude amplification trick. It was proven (even before Grover’s algorithm was discovered!) that this speedup is in fact the most we can hope for [Bennett, 1997]. A quadratic speedup is indeed a substantial time-saver for finding marked items in long lists. Additionally, the algorithm does not use the list’s internal structure, which makes it generic; this is why it immediately provides a quadratic quantum speed-up for many classical problems.
We see that if \(x\) is an unmarked item, the oracle does nothing to the state. However, when we apply the oracle to the basis state \(| w \rangle\), it maps \(U_f | w \rangle = -| w \rangle\). Geometrically, this unitary matrix corresponds to a reflection about the origin for the marked item in an \(N = 2^n\) dimensional vector space.
So how does the algorithm work? Before looking at the list of items, we have no idea where the marked item is. Therefore, any guess of its location is as good as any other, which can be expressed in terms of a quantum state called a uniform superposition:
\(|s \rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{x = 0}^{N -1} | x \rangle.\)
Enter the procedure called amplitude amplification, which is how a quantum computer significantly enhances this probability. This procedure stretches out (amplifies) the amplitude of the marked item, which shrinks the other items’ amplitude, so that measuring the final state will return the right item with near-certainty.
This algorithm has a nice geometrical interpretation in terms of two reflections, which generate a rotation in a two-dimensional plane. The only two special states we need to consider are the winner \(| w \rangle\) and the uniform superposition \(| s \rangle\). These two vectors span a two-dimensional plane in the vector space \(\mathbb{C}^N.\) They are not quite perpendicular because \(| w \rangle\) occurs in the superposition with amplitude \(N^{-1/2}\) as well. We can, however, introduce an additional state \(|s'\rangle\) that is in the span of these two vectors, which is perpendicular to \(| w \rangle\) and is obtained from \(|s \rangle\) by removing \(| w \rangle\) and rescaling.
Geometrically this corresponds to a reflection of the state \(|\psi_t\rangle\) about \(-|w\rangle\). This transformation means that the amplitude in front of the \(|w\rangle\) state becomes negative, which in turn means that the average amplitude has been lowered.
Two reflections always correspond to a rotation. The transformation \(U_s U_f\) rotates the initial state \(|s\rangle\) closer towards the winner \(|w\rangle\). The action of the reflection \(U_s\) in the amplitude bar diagram can be understood as a reflection about the average amplitude. Since the average amplitude has been lowered by the first reflection, this transformation boosts the negative amplitude of \(|w\rangle\) to roughly three times its original value, while it decreases the other amplitudes. We then go to step 1 to repeat the application. This procedure will be repeated several times to zero in on the winner.


Service Discovery
For true application portability, connections between containers need to be as portable as the container themselves. Therefore, the Docker Engine provides an on-board DNS service that allows traffic to be routed between application components by container or service name, without requiring any explicit service discovery in our application logic. Let's see this in action by creating a simple service that uses Redis to store a value. The service will access Redis via its service name.
The project folder for this exercise is ~/ddev-labs/service-discovery
.
Creating an Application
Open the file
server.py
from the project folder. It should have this content:from flask import Flask, request, jsonify from redis import Redis app = Flask(__name__) redis = Redis("redis") @app.route('/') def info(): return "Demo for Service Discovery" @app.route('/scores', methods=['POST']) def score(): json = request.get_json() redis.set(json['name'], json['score']) return 'CREATED', 201 @app.route('/scores/<name>', methods=['GET']) def get_score(name): value = redis.get(name); if not value: return 'NOT FOUND', 404 ret = { 'name': name, 'score': value } return jsonify(ret) if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(port=3000, host="<IP_ADDRESS>")
Note how on line 5 we're using the (short) service name of the Redis service to define the Redis host in the statement
redis = Redis("redis")
. There is no need to use IP addresses or FQDNs to access Redis. This is Docker's service discovery in action.Stop: How is the service name
redis
defined? It is defined in thedocker-compose.yml
file introduced further down.There is also a file
requirements.txt
containing the list of dependencies needed by the Python app:flask redis
Add the following instructions to the file
service-discovery/Dockerfile
:FROM python:2.7-alpine RUN mkdir -p /app WORKDIR /app COPY requirements.txt /app/ RUN pip install -r requirements.txt COPY . /app EXPOSE 3000 CMD python server.py
Also add the following content to
service-discovery/docker-compose.yml
:version: '3.1' services: app: build: . ports: - 3000:3000 networks: - back-tier redis: image: redis:latest networks: - back-tier networks: back-tier:
Gist: http://bit.ly/2h4uAdy
Note that the services are both connected to the
back-tier
network; recall that containers not plugged into the same network are firewalled from each other by default, as part of Docker's container networking model.Run the application:
ubuntu@infra:~/ddev-labs/service-discovery$ docker-compose up --build
Use a
curl
to test the API. Open a second terminal window and execute:ubuntu@infra:~$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -X POST -d '{"name": "Joey", "score": 6}' localhost:3000/scores; echo
Make sure the value was written:
ubuntu@infra:~$ curl localhost:3000/scores/Joey
which should result in an answer like this:
{'name': 'Joey', 'score': 6}
Using Aliases in Service Discovery
Sometimes we have to live with given FQDNs for services and are not free to choose a short name like in the above sample. In this case we can use aliases.
Suppose our
redis
service had to be calledredis.example.com
. Rename the service as such in thedocker-compose.yml
file and add alinks:
section to theapp
service to alias this name to the nameredis
used in our python server:... app: ... links: - "redis.example.com:redis" ... redis.example.com: image: redis:latest ...
Run and test the application as in the example above. This allows us to decouple the name of the service from how we refer to it in our application logic.
Network Partitioning
Docker's container network model is centered around software defined networks; regardless of underlying implementation details, Docker will always firewall containers on different Docker networks from each other.
Ping your redis service from within your
app
service container:ubuntu@infra:~$ docker container exec <app container id> ping redis.example.com
The ping should proceed as normal.
Stop your application, and modify the
docker-compose.yml
file to connect your redis service to a different network:... redis.example.com: image: redis:latest networks: - extra-net networks: back-tier: extra-net:
Restart your application and attempt the same ping as above; it fails, since these services can no longer resolve each other's names and are firewalled from each other by Docker's network partitioning.
Try the
curl
commands from above to write and read data to the database; they also fail, for the same reason.
Kubernetes and Service Discovery
Contrary to Docker Swarm, Kubernetes' DNS works across the whole cluster. There are no default network partitions like in Swarm with its software defined networks. In Kubernetes one can use network policies to partition applications from each other.
Open the file
kube.yaml
and analyze its content. Notice that an image has been provided for you for running the application:... spec: containers: - name: ui image: training/ddev-service-discovery-kube:1.0 ports - containerPort: 3000 ...
Run the application in Minikube:
ubuntu@infra:~/ddev-labs/service-discovery$ kubectl create -f kube.yaml
you should see this:
namespace "ddev" created deployment "redis" created service "redis" created deployment "app" created service "app" created
Get the IP of Minikube:
ubuntu@infra:~$ export KUBE_IP=$(minikube ip)
Get the public port on which the application is exposed:
ubuntu@infra:~$ export APP_PORT=$(kubectl get -n ddev svc/app \ --template '{{range .spec.ports}}{{.nodePort}}{{end}}')
Note, we're using Go template syntax above to extract the
nodePort
value form theapp
service meta data.Echo both variables to be sure that the IP and the port are received correctly:
ubuntu@infra:~$ echo $KUBE_IP:$APP_PORT
Use
curl
to add some value to the application:ubuntu@infra:~$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -X POST -d '{"name": "Joey", "score": 6}' ${KUBE_IP}:${APP_PORT}/scores; echo CREATED
Now double check that the value has been stored in Redis, again using
curl
:ubuntu@infra:~$ curl ${KUBE_IP}:${APP_PORT}/scores/Joey
which should result in this answer:
{ "name": "Joey", "score": "6" }
Discuss with your peers how and why the Python application can access Redis when running in Kubernetes.
Clean up:
ubuntu@infra:~$ kubectl delete namespace/ddev
Conclusion
In this exercise we have seen how Docker provides out of the box service discovery for services running on the same network. In our case the Flask API could discover Redis simply by its service name redis
. We also have shown how we can use aliases to use different, given (for example) FDQNs instead of the short service names.
Furthermore, we have illustrated the basic behavior of Docker network partitioning; containers on different networks are automatically firewalled from each other, and cannot resolve container or service names for objects not connected to the same network. As such, when designing a containerized application it is crucial to record in your docker-compose.yml
which services need to be connected to which networks. Done conservatively, this is a simple pattern to enhance the security of your containerized applications.
Meanwhile, Kubernetes provides no such default network segmentation; Kube's networking model prioritizes flat, cluster-wide networks that resemble flat networks of VMs in order to make application networking when moving from VMs to containers as simple as possible. In order to impose network segmentation in Kubernetes, we need to choose a networking plugin that support the NetworkPolicy
object.

Police issue update on latex clad gimp terrorising sleepy village
The latex clad gimp has not been seen in the village of Claverham since the summer
by Heather PickstockTwo men arrested in connection with incidents of a masked gimp terrorising a sleepy North Somerset village have been released without charge.
Terrified locals in Claverham in Somerset spent the summer in fear after reports that a man clad in a black bodysuit and head mask was approaching people late at night.
Residents spoke of being scared to walk home alone with the latex clad pest on the loose with various stories emerging about freakish encounters.
Some then speculated the area had been plagued by the 'gimp' for years - with police revealing they had already received numerous reports about the odd behaviour.
A police search got underway using helicopters and sniffer dogs and an investigation launched which resulted in two men being arrested on suspicion of indecency offences.
The last reported sighting of the gimp was in July this year.
But whoever is behind the incidents has laid quiet ever since.
Police have now confirmed the two men have been released without charge - and say there have been no further gimp-related incidents.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: “Detectives carried out a thorough investigation into a series of incidents in which a man wearing disguises approached people in the Claverham/Yatton area.
“Two men, aged 28 and 34, were arrested on suspicion of indecency offences but due to insufficient evidence were later released with no further action taken against them.
“Thankfully, we’ve not received any more reports of similar incidents since the most recent report of a man wearing a black body suit approaching a woman on 11 July."
Speaking after an incident in July, one victim said she was afraid to go out following her brush with the leather-suited man.
She told the BBC: "Everything was running through my head. I thought: 'This is it, I'm going to get attacked'.
She added that she had been left feeling "panicked" by the ordeal, which saw her confronted down a dark lane.
She said: "It's not just a man jumping out at me going boo. Every time I close my eyes I just see that face."

public static java.util.List jarURLDirectories(java.net.URL jarURL) throws java.io.IOException
jar:file:///foo/bar.jar/!/bif/baz
, which means that
the jar file /foo/bar.jar has a directory or file name bif/baz.
If such a file is passed to this method, then any directories
in the jar file directory bif/baz will be returned.
jarURL
- The Jar URL for which we are to look for directories.
java.io.IOException
- If opening the connection fails or if
getting the jar file from the connection failspublic static java.net.URL jarURLEntryResource(java.lang.String jarURLString) throws java.io.IOException
file://./foo.jar!/a/b/c.class
is a jar URL that
refers to the a/b/c.class
resource in
foo.jar
. If this method is called with
file://./foo.jar!/a/b/c.class
then it will return
a/b/c.class
if a/b/c.class
can be
found as a resource in the class loader that loaded this class
(ptolemy.util.ClassUtilities). If the resource cannot be found,
then an IOException is thrown. If the jarURLString parameter
does not contain !/
, then return null.
Note that everything before the !/
is removed before
searching the classpath.
This method is necessary because Web Start uses jar URL, and there are some cases where if we have a jar URL, then we may need to strip off the jar:url!/ part so that we can search for the {entry} as a resource.
jarURLString
- The string containing the jar URL.
If no resource is found and the string contains a "#" then the text
consisting of the # and the remaining text is removed and the shorter
string is used as a search pattern.
!/
, then return null.
java.io.IOException
- If this method cannot convert the specification
to a URL.JarURLConnection
public static java.lang.String lookupClassAsResource(java.lang.String necessaryClass)
necessaryClass
- The dot separated class name, for example
"ptolemy.util.ClassUtilities"
