Abstract:
Have you ever been wrought with end user complaints of database performance issues only to open your tools that show only live performance or limited historical performance and find no answers? After being bit by this many times, I developed my own eye in the sky to monitor CPU Physical IO at the database, user and application levels. This solution logs data continuously and parses it into an Analysis Services cube which can be queried by Excel. No need to requisition funds for 3rd party tools. You can do this with the tools you have and I’ll give you the scripts to get started. Using these tools I have been able to find needles in haystacks and effectively communicate the nature of the problems to people at all levels.

Abstract:
From beginning to end application development is upside down. So much emphasis is placed on the front end and so little on the analysis of database structure that many application development projects fail to achieve the goals set by the business. This presentation uses an interwoven analogy to illustrate the process currently used by most enterprises, the results, and the short comings. Yet with a change of focus, the same projects can not only be successful; they can be done under budget, with greater flexibility and extensibility. Future projects can benefit from this change of focus with additional savings in timelines and fewer bug fixes downstream. Any business person or data professional who works directly with business people c

Abstract:
With an ever increasing workload, security is often hoisted upon the DBA. So where do you start? Sometimes it's better to start off by understanding what an attacker could do to you in order to get a clearer picture of what you need to do to prevent it. In this session, we will delve into the key features of the SQL Server and explain what the various attack vectors are, what an attack can do with them, and what you can do about them. We'll also look at important features such as SQL Audit that, while not helping to prevent, can definitely help in figuring out what is going on. It'll be AWESOME!
Speaker(s): Arie Jones,
Abstract:
Did you know Microsoft started a new company dedicated to healthcare? Did you even know Microsoft has an electronic health records product and a large suite of security products specifically focused on healthcare solutions?

Speaker(s): Wendy Pastrick,
Abstract:
Issue a "SELECT {data} FROM {myTable}" statement and users need to trust the data returned is accurate. What happens when multiple processes access the same data? What happens further if one of those process is an UPDATE or even a DELETE statement? How about if both processes will be updating that data? Understanding Isolation in SQL Server is paramount in ensuring data integrity in your system. We will cover the different levels of isolation and how they impact what a user views when accessing the data at a given point-in-time.
Speaker(s): Wendy Pastrick,

What you do for a living may say a lot about who you are. No where is this as true as in IT.  There are many ways your skills can be delivered and you need to choose the best fit for who you are. This session aims to take an unbiased look at the difference between working in a solid, stable IT environment or trekking out and offering your skills as an IT consultant. The differences are staggering and each has their risks and rewards. Each role has its own myths and, like most myths, some are true and some are not. This session will draw on real-world experience and won't hesitate to point out the successes as well as the failures.
Speaker(s): Scott Shaw,
Abstract:

The compressional areas are drawn with contour lines in the Lambert projection. These lines separate areas with different amounts of compression (>20%, >40%, >60%, >80%, > 95%).
In the menu 'Colour\Contour lines' you can also choose different grades of gray for the plot of contour lines.
In the menu ‚Contouring methods‚ further methods for the visualisation of counting densities are offered.
The menu ‚smoothing factor is used only for
the Scalar product-method aktiv.
It is also possible to draw closed polylines
which follow the edges between the colours. These polylines can be saved
in a *.dxf file. This file can be treated with
Autocad, CorelDraw, or any other graphic programm which reads dxf-files.
The procedure is: Click 'Method of contouring/Distance method/In steps'
and wait until the diagram is finished. Then click 'Graphic/Save/DXF'. On
the right side a panel appears, in which the saved coordinates and the radius
are shown. Change the numbers, if necessary. Click on 'Create plot file'
and type the name of the plot file. Wait until the polylines appear. Now
you can import the dxf file to a graphic program.
The Menu ‚Diagram‚ ist the same as in the other programs.
The calculated values 'maximum' and 'minimum' allow an estimation of the consistency of the data set. In the ideal case the maximum equals the number of data, and the minimum is zero.

How to fund an apprenticeship
Hi <name>,
Here are the key things you need to know about funding an apprenticeship.
- As an employer with a pay bill of less than £3 million per year, you’ll get funding from the government to pay towards training and assessing apprentices.
- The amount of funding you get depends on the number of employees you have and the apprentice you’re hiring.
- You’ll need to pay the apprentice’s salary, which will be at least the hourly minimum wage rate for their circumstances. Currently, this is £4.15 for apprentices who are aged under 19, or aged 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship.
Learn more about funding an apprenticeship.


Calculates and depicts probabilistic long-term effects in binary models with temporal dependence variables. The package performs two tasks. First, it calculates the change in the probability of the event occurring given a change in a theoretical variable. Second, it calculates the rolling difference in the future probability of the event for two scenarios: one where the event occurred at a given time and one where the event does not occur. The package is consistent with the recent movement to depict meaningful and easy-to-interpret quantities of interest with the requisite measures of uncertainty. It is the first to make it easy for researchers to interpret short- and long-term effects of explanatory variables in binary autoregressive models, which can have important implications for the correct interpretation of these models.

This man Henderson is truly a remarkable musician. One time ‘Royal’ trumpeter, he's created an enviable reputation for himself in the UK as a performer of the highest calibre, jazz educator and composer. It's easy to draw comparisons with the greats, but Stuart's can be pitched somewhere between the warm joyous tones of Chet Baker and the hard Bop of Lee Morgan. Stylistically you cannot pigeon hole Mr Henderson, for Witney Jazz he'll be playing a selection of delicious, well known standards with a distinctly funky edge. On hand to assist with creating that all important rhythm will be hard hitting guitarist Hugh Turner, powerhouse bassist Paul Jefferies and a drummer of distinction - Simon Price.

Morning top 5: Gardaí identify body of man found dead in burning car
by NewstalkAn extradition hearing for a man wanted in connection with the deaths of 39 people who were found in a trailer in Essex is due to begin today.
22-year-old Eamon Harrison from Mayobridge, Co Down is challenging his surrender to UK authorities.
Police in the UK suspect he delivered the container to a Belgian port the day before it left for England.
***
Gardaí have identified the body of the man found dead in a burning car in west Dublin.
DNA tests show the victim was 42-year-old Wayne Whelan, who was known for his involvement in serious crime.
He died after being shot a number of times, before the car was set alight in Lucan on Monday night.

If the Child and Family Agency feels a child is being neglected in this regard, it sends a warning letter.
These were issued in connection with 778 individual children between January 2018 and this August.
***
Three men are due in court this morning in connection with attacks on sex workers.
Gardaí raided three properties on Tuesday and arrested four men, who are aged between 18 and 37.
One man was released without charge, while the others will appear before a special sitting of Roscommon District Court this morning.

Ryanair has criticised a Spanish court ruling that described an extra charge in its baggage policy as "abusive".
The Provincial Court of Madrid ruled the airline must refund a passenger €20, stating they were unfairly charged the fee for having a 10 kilo bag but no 'priority' ticket.
It has also ordered the company to remove the clause from its terms and conditions.
Ryanair says the ruling "misinterpreted" its commercial freedoms and won't affect its baggage policy.

It is likely that the correct setup.sh script has not been sourced. If you are using an older turtlebot
(some of the short ones) go with number 2, if you are using a newer one (a taller one) use number 1. The
difference is if the turtlebot has a ~/burger_ws directory and a ~/catkin_ws directory or just a
~/catkin_ws directory. The newer ones only have a ~/catkin_ws directory.
If you are using a standard package, try sourceing the ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.sh and the
/opt/ros/kinetic/setup.sh (/opt/ros/melodic/setup.sh if you are using a Jetson Nano) by:
The launch file should work now. To avoid typing these every time, add the commands to the end of you
.bashrc file (don’t forget to source .bashrc after changing it).
If the turtlebot complains that the setup.sh file does not exist, try to cd to ~/catkin_ws and run
catkin_make, then try again. If it still is not there I would recommend going through the
setup steps again.
If the package is one of the
standard ones, run “source ~/burger_ws/devel/setup.sh”. To avoid doing this on every reboot,
add that line to the .bashrc file (don’t forget to source .bashrc after changing it). If the
turtlebot complains that the setup.sh file does not exist, try to cd to ~/burger_ws and run
catkin_make, then try again. If it still is not there I would recommend copying the burger_ws
folder from another turtlebot.
If you have the setup scripts source in your .bashrc but they don't seem to be running, one strange
problem is if you have the same file source twice in your .bashrc file it causes it not to work. Try removing
the second instance of the sourced file.
This is likely because you either have not launched turtlebot3_remote or it is launched but pointing to the
wrong master. If you have not launched it, you can do so by typing:
on your computer. If it is launched, make sure it has the right ROS_MASTER_URI (and that you sourced
.bashrc
).
It is important to remember that ROS nodes do not necessarily check if they can communicate with the master, and
the turtlebot_remote package may not display any errors.
Replace/recharge the battery, but don’t recharge the battery while it is plugged into the
turtlebot. Being in this state will also prevent the turtlebot from driving, which is a
feature I believe to be implemented in the OpenCR firmware. This means you will need to power
off the turtlebot completely and turn it back on again before continuing.
Make sure you are on the wifi network named “Linksys08906” or
"Linksys08906_5GHz".
Try “ssh pi@turtebot1”, replacing the “1” with the number of the turtlebot.
If host cannot be resolved: then try typing out the ip address of the turtlebot,
which is written on each turtlebot, ie. “ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>If this still says
host cannot be resolved, then try plugging a monitor and keyboard into the turtlebot
and make sure it is on the “Linksys…” network. Alternatively, make sure you are still on
the Linksys… network.
Password is “turtlebot”. To avoid typing the password every time,
you can generate an RSA key pair
and use that.
If you can't remember the IP address, you can use the program nmap to search for it by the hostname
of the device. For example:
But replace the ROS_MASTER_URI with the IP address of the computer running roscore and
replace the ROS_HOSTNAME with the turtlebot’s own ip address (can be checked with ifconfig). Don’t forget to run “source .bashrc” after changing the .bashrc file.

Erica Dixon Releases Sweet New Photo With Twin Daughters As ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’ As Fans Bash Lil Scrappy For His Behavior
by Dylan FisherEven though Erica Dixon likes her privacy, and she has not been very active on social media with regards to her twin daughters, she does occasionally let fans get a glimpse and likes to tease people with photos of her life behind the scenes.
Just recently, her followers on social media were treated to a cute picture of Dixon and her twin daughters, Embrii and Eryss, which immediately exploded in popularity and started making the rounds.
The three can be seen enjoying a meal at a restaurant, and they were obviously quite happy to be together in the same shot.
Dixon can be seen holding her daughters in her arms, smiling for the camera, and clearly enjoying herself quite a lot.
The girls were dressed in cute outfits for the occasion as well, and many of the comments on the post noted how stylish their outfits looked, and how well they matched the shot itself.
The two twins are still just half a year old, and it is pretty reasonable that Dixon is maintaining a low profile about them on social media to protect their privacy.
At the same time, she can probably benefit a lot in terms of popularity by sharing more pictures of them and being more open about their life, at least to some extent.
One fan told the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star: “Beautiful chocolate babies. I love seeing chocolate.  Keep doing what you do.💯💯💯💯❤♥”
Another person shared: “How do you know who is who lol… It took me over six months to be able to know my twins as they are Identical as well.   Trying to portray your like you’re just a vindictive person. Smh.”
Another supporter called Bambi Benson’s husband a clown: “Girl, scrappy is a clown 🤡 looking for attention. He needs to take the posts down. He and bam really need to get a life. She’s encouraging him. Hell, she’s probably the one that showed him and told him to put them up. We all know you ain’t on that, and Emani is old enough.  He’s bitter and still wants you. I said what I said….”
Fans are saying for Emani’s sake they hope Dixon and Lil Scrappy make peace.


Construct a new focus tracker.
A signal emitted when the active widget has changed.
The active widget in the tracker.
The active widget is the widget among the tracked widgets which has the descendant node which is currently focused.
A signal emitted when the current widget has changed.
The current widget in the tracker.
The current widget is the widget among the tracked widgets which has the descendant node which has most recently been focused.
The current widget will not be updated if the node loses focus. It will only be updated when a different tracked widget gains focus.
If the current widget is removed from the tracker, the previous current widget will be restored.
This behavior is intended to follow a user's conceptual model of a semantically "current" widget, where the "last thing of type X" to be interacted with is the "current instance of X", regardless of whether that instance still has focus.
A flag indicating whether the tracker is disposed.
A read only array of the widgets being tracked.
Handle the 'blur'
event for a tracked widget.
Handle the 'focus'
event for a tracked widget.
Handle the disposed
signal for a tracked widget.
Set the current and active widgets for the tracker.
Add a widget to the focus tracker.
The widget of interest.
A widget will be automatically removed from the tracker if it is disposed after being added.
If the widget is already tracked, this is a no-op.
Dispose of the resources held by the tracker.
Get the focus number for a particular widget in the tracker.
The widget of interest.
The focus number for the given widget, or -1
if the
widget has not had focus since being added to the tracker, or
is not contained by the tracker.
The focus number indicates the relative order in which the widgets have gained focus. A widget with a larger number has gained focus more recently than a widget with a smaller number.
The currentWidget
will always have the largest focus number.
All widgets start with a focus number of -1
, which indicates that
the widget has not been focused since being added to the tracker.
Handle the DOM events for the focus tracker.
The DOM event sent to the panel.
This method implements the DOM EventListener
interface and is
called in response to events on the tracked nodes. It should
not be called directly by user code.
Test whether the focus tracker contains a given widget.
The widget of interest.
true
if the widget is tracked, false
otherwise.
Remove a widget from the focus tracker.
If the widget is the currentWidget
, the previous current widget
will become the new currentWidget
.
A widget will be automatically removed from the tracker if it is disposed after being added.
If the widget is not tracked, this is a no-op.
Generated using TypeDoc
A class which tracks focus among a set of widgets. The namespace for the
FocusTracker
class statics.This class is useful when code needs to keep track of the most recently focused widget(s) among a set of related widgets.

internal implementation of the serialization function
This function is called by the public member function dump and organizes the serialization internally. The indentation level is propagated as additional parameter. In case of arrays and objects, the function is called recursively.
- strings and object keys are escaped using
escape_string()
- integer numbers are converted implicitly via
operator<<
- floating-point numbers are converted to a string using
"%g"
format
- binary values are serialized as objects containing the subtype and the byte array
- Parameters
-
| [in] | val | value to serialize |
| [in] | pretty_print | whether the output shall be pretty-printed |
| [in] | ensure_ascii | If ensure_ascii is true, all non-ASCII characters in the output are escaped with \uXXXX sequences, and the result consists of ASCII characters only. |
| [in] | indent_step | the indent level |
| [in] | current_indent | the current indent level (only used internally) |

Triangulation
This post treats the reconstruction of the matching points and the results of this process.
Triangulation
Once the correspondent points are known, it’s possible to reconstruct the 3D model. The fast way is using the OpenCV function triangulatePoints over the points with a low disparity value. Disparity is the difference on coordinates between the left point and the correspondent point.
Another possible method is using the equations of the points, where f is the focal distance, B is the baseline or distance between cameras, d is the disparity and u and v are the coordinates of the point referred to the center of the image:
Z = f * B / d
X = u * Z / f
Y = v * Z / f
The results of this method are shown in the following sequence, where all the points are considered and it is reconstructed in row order:
Final result
The final result is the next one, which can be overlapped with a real image of the 3D scene, with a decent amount of correspondence, specially over the right blocks.
Thanks for reading!


Printing
10 - 18 September 2018
This week, we worked with three different types of printers: Garment, Sublimation, and UV. We used the program CorelDRAW to create the
files needed for using these printers. Like Fusion 360 last week, CorelDRAW has a good user interface and is not overly confusing.
Assignment 1: T-Shirt
First, we were instructed to design an original, marketable T-Shirt and print it on the Brother GT-361 garment printer. The T-shirt
design had to have something to do with either Western Reserve Academy, Hudson, or Ohio. I chose to create a shirt for Ohio.
At first, I thought I would use the clock from Hudson's clock tower as first O in "OHIO," in order to incorporate Hudson into my shirt
as well. However, upon seeing what such a design looked like, I decided instead to use the Ohio state flag for that purpose instead,
since I felt it did a better job of unifying my T-Shirt and because the front of my shirt was easier to read if I used the flag.
I also created a back for my T-Shirt, modeled after an athletic jersey, with "Ohioan" as the name and "OH" taking the place of
numbers on the back.
I think my shirt turned out very well. I like how it looks, and there is only one thing I would change: in hindsignt I realized
that on most athletic jerseys, the name is in all capital letters, which is not the case on the back of my shirt, so if I were to
reprint this shirt, I would change "Ohioan" to "OHIOAN." Other than that, I think my shirt was very visually pleasing,
effective, original, and marketable.
T-Shirt Front File
T-Shirt Back File
Assignment 2: Sublimation Printer
After creating our T-Shirts, we needed to use the sublimation printer, specifically the Sawgrass 800, to print a design of our choice
onto a medium of our choice. In science, sublimation is the process of a material undergoing a phase change directly from a solid to
a gas, without ever going through the liquid state. Similarly, dye sublimation is the process of transferring, using heat, an
image from a special piece of paper directly onto the substrate. After this process, the image remains on the substrate and will not
come off.
Of the variety of available substrates, I chose to perform dye sublimation on a keychain, and I chose to use a space-related image.
I went to Space Camp this summer, and my team's name was Chandra, so I located a picture of NASA's Chandra X-Ray Telescope to use
for my keychain. I put the name and year on my keychain, as well, to commemorate my experience at Space Camp. I used CorelDraw to
create the file I needed.
Sublimation printing is a fairly simple process. I printed a mirror of the image I wanted to print using the Sawgrass printer. Then,
I put the image against my blank keychain and sandwiched those things between two sheets of protective paper and placed that
entire configuration in the heat press. Because my substrate was a metal keychain, I set the heat press to 400 degrees
Fahrenheit and medium pressure and left my keychain under the press for 75 seconds.
My keychain turned out fairly well. There was a slight amount of marbleing in the black background of my keychain, likely a result
of leaving it in the press a few seconds too long. However, this was hardly noticable, and on the whole, I am very satisfied
with how my keychain turned out, and I do not think there is anything I would change if I were to make it again.
Keychain File
Assignment 3: UV Printer
Our final project was to print an image of our choice on a material of our choice using the UV printer, which has several
disadvantages to the sublimation printer but is stil an effective printer. The UV printer is much more difficult to set up
than the sublimation printer, so the set-up is a much longer and more involved process for the UV printer. The UV printer is
more effective at puting images on items like golf balls which are not smooth, but for flat objects like keychains and pencil
pouches, the sublimation printer is more efficient and effective.
I decided to create a puzzle using a photo I took on my family's visit to a beach in North Carolina. This was a very simple process.
I placed the puzzle on the UV printer, calibrated the printer, and started things printing. My puzzle turned out pretty well, and if
there were one thing I would change, I would crop the image differently to eliminate the white borders. Otherwise, I am quite
satisfied with my puzzle.

Christmas movies on Airdrie town hall's big screen
Elf, It's A Wonderful Life and Die Hard will all be shown at Sir John Wilson town hall this month.
by Ian Bunting, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/ian-bunting/Explosions, nightmares and burglars coming under attack aren’t things you traditionally associate with Christmas.
But don’t worry, it’s all part of the fantastic festive fare set to hit the big screen at Airdrie town hall cinema over the next couple of weeks.
Kicking things off this Friday (December 13) will be a double bill consisting of Tim Burton’s animated favourite The Nightmare Before Christmas at 6.30pm, and Bruce Willis at his best in seminal actioner Die Hard, at 8.30pm.
A triple screening with three of the finest Christmas flicks on offer then follows on Sunday, December 22.
It begins with family favourite Home Alone at 12 noon, continues with Will Ferrell having a ball in Elf at 3pm before classic tear-jerker It’s a Wonderful Life concludes the movie magic at 7pm.
A spokesperson for the cinema said: “Movie fans can enjoy family festive films on the big screen, with a relaxed setting and licensed bar also available.
“Both kids and adults can stretch their legs or enjoy refreshments without fear of being shushed!”
To book tickets for any of the screenings, call 01698 403120 or visit culturenl.co.uk.
Meanwhile, the cinema will also host a showing of a majestic opera early next year when La Bohème comes to town.
Exploring themes of love, loss and the fight for survival, Puccini’s story of young love in 19C Paris is packed with beautiful music, including celebratory choruses for Act II’s evocation of Christmas Eve in the Latin Quarter, and a poignant final scene.
Richard Jones’ character-led production perfectly captures La Bohème’s mixture of comedy, romance and tragedy, with striking designs by Stewart Laing.
The cast features some of the greatest interpreters of Puccini’s bohemian lovers performing today, as well as former members of The Royal Operas Jette Parker Young Artists Programme.
The opera is sung in Italian with English subtitles, and the screening at Airdrie town hall cinema is approximately two hours and 30 minutes long.
It takes place on January 29 and to book tickets for the showing contact the phone number or website above.

The sjosmooth
package (pronounced sō smüt͟h) was built to perform kernel smoothing on any type of regression model, but the focus is on censored time-to-event or survival data. The package provides kernel smoothed estimates of survival probabilities at specified times, as well as other outcomes from survival regression models. Time to event analysis is often referred to as survival analysis in medicine, reliability analysis in engineering, duration analysis or duration modelling in economics, and event history analysis in sociology.
The sjosmooth
syntax is simple and modeled after existing functions. If you are famililar the syntax for Cox regression (survival::coxph
) and prediction (survival::predict.coxph
), then you’re already familiar with sjosmooth
syntax.
We know that age is associated with survival after cancer diagnosis. Using data from patients with advanced lung cancer from the North Central Cancer Treatment Group, we’ll estimate one year survival probability by age at diagnosis.
# load survival and sjosmooth packages
library(survival)
library(sjosmooth)
# save local copy of lung cancer data and order data
cancer.df = lung[order(lung$age), ]
# estimating survival 365 days after diagnosis
cancer.df$yr1surv = sm.coxph(formula = Surv(time, status) ~ age, data = cancer.df,
type = "survival", time = 365, bandwidth = 0.9)
# plotting estimated 1 year survival probability by age
plot(cancer.df$age, cancer.df$yr1surv, type = "l", ylim = c(0, 1))

Jose Mourinho sends message to Unai Emery following Arsenal sacking
The former Gunners boss was axed on Friday following the club's worst run of form since 1992, but Mourinho has sent a message of support to the Spaniard after hearing the news
by Darren Wells, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/darren-wells/Jose Mourinho has issued a message to Unai Emery following his sacking as Arsenal manager.
Emery was removed from his post on Friday after board member determined over a crunch meeting it was time for a change.
Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg has taken over as interim Gunners boss with immediate effect, and has been tasked with turning round the club's fortunes after Emery oversaw the club's worst run since 1992.
But Mourinho was quick to reassure his fellow manager that he will bounce back and make a return to football.
"No dramas, mi amigo," Mourinho said. "Keep going and you will get another club."
Mourinho has only been in charge at Arsenal's north London rivals Tottenham less than a fortnight, having replaced Mauricio Pochettino last Wednesday.
When asked whether he would have considered the Arsenal post, Mourinho said: "I'm so happy here that I couldn't even think about the possibility to go to another place.
"You can put now in front of me any club in the world, I would not move."
Pochettino has now been sensationally linked with a switch to the Emirates after his five-year spell with the club ended.
He is priced at odds of 25/1 to take permanent charge, while Ljungberg remains joint favourite with Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo at 6/4.
The final straw for Emery came as Arsenal fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday.
Fans held up 'Emery Out' banners in protest to the manager, who lasted just 18 months in charge.
Arsenal released a statement announcing his sacking less than 12 hours after the defeat.
It read: "Our most sincere thanks go to Unai and his colleagues who were unrelenting in their efforts to get the club back to competing at the level we all expect and demand. We wish Unai and his team nothing but future success.”


libs6dns
s6-dns
Software
skarnet.org
The following functions are declared in the s6-dns/s6dns-message.h header, and implemented in the libs6dns.a or libs6dns.so library.
s6dns_message provides functions to read and parse DNS messages sent by servers and caches and containing answers to queries.
A s6dns_message_header_t is a structure containing the header of a received DNS packet, broken down for easy access to the bits.
A s6dns_message_rr_t is a structure containing the information about a resource record given by an answer packet - all of it, except the value of the answer itself, which is rtype-specific and has to be decoded by rtype-specific functions.
A s6dns_message_rr_func_t is the type of such a function. The
prototype is
int f (s6dns_message_rr_t const *rr, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, unsigned int pos, unsigned int section, void *data)
Various structures designed to store specific resource record types are also provided. The list includes:
void s6dns_message_header_pack (char *s, s6dns_message_header_t const *h)
Packs the header *h into the 12 bytes pointed to by s.
void s6dns_message_header_unpack (char const *s, s6dns_message_header_t *h)
Unpacks the 12 bytes pointed to by s into the structure *h.
The following primitives are used in the implementation of s6dns_message_rr_func_t-typed functions, to read and decode information stored in a DNS packet. Their arguments are:
int s6dns_message_get_string (s6dns_domain_t *d, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, unsigned int *pos)
Reads a character-string and stores it into *d. Returns 1 on success
and 0 on failure. Note that *d does not contain a domain, but the
s6dns_domain_t structure is adapted to store strings that do not
exceed 255 characters. d→s can be used to access the string,
and d→len its length.
int s6dns_message_get_strings (char *s, unsigned int rdlength, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, unsigned int *pos
This function takes an additional parameter rdlength. It reads a series of
character-strings and stores their concatenation into the string s, which
must be preallocated; it can never store more than rdlength bytes. It returns
-1 if it fails; on success, it returns the number of bytes written. The
rdlength parameter must be the length of the resource record containing
the series of character-strings.
size_t s6dns_message_get_domain_nodecode (char *out, size_t outmax, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, unsigned int *pos)
Reads a domain and stores it, in packet form, into *out, which is a character
array that must have been preallocated by the user; outmax is the maximum
number of characters that can be stored in out. As a special
case, out can be NULL, in which case nothing will be written, but
the domain will still be parsed and pos will still be updated.
The function returns the number of characters written to out
(or that would have been). If 0, it denotes a failure, and errno is set:
unsigned int s6dns_message_get_domain (s6dns_domain_t *d, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, unsigned int *pos)
Reads a domain and stores it, in string form, into *d.
Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure, and sets errno just like the
function above.
int s6dns_message_get_hinfo (s6dns_message_rr_hinfo_t *p, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, unsigned int *pos)
Reads a HINFO RR and stores it into *p. Returns 1 on success or 0
on failure.
int s6dns_message_get_mx (s6dns_message_rr_mx_t *p, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, unsigned int *pos)
Reads a MX RR and stores it into *p. Returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
int s6dns_message_get_soa (s6dns_message_rr_soa_t *p, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, unsigned int *pos)
Reads a SOA RR and stores it into *p. Returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
int s6dns_message_get_srv (s6dns_message_rr_srv_t *p, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, unsigned int *pos)
Reads a SRV RR and stores it into *p. Returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
int s6dns_message_get_caa (s6dns_message_rr_caa_t *p, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, unsigned int *pos, uint16_t rdlength)
Reads a CAA RR and stores it into *p. Returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
rdlength is the length of the RDATA field of the record; this value is
needed to properly parse a CAA record.
s6dns_message_func_t s6dns_message_parse_answer_strings
Parses character-strings located in the answer section of the packet. The
data argument is interpreted as a pointer to a s6dns_mpag_t,
which is a structure defined in the s6-dns/s6dns-message.h header
and used to store multiple character-strings.
s6dns_message_func_t s6dns_message_parse_answer_domain
Parses domains located in the answer section of the packet. The
data argument is interpreted as a pointer to a s6dns_dpag_t,
which is a structure defined in the s6-dns/s6dns-message.h header
and used to store multiple domains.
s6dns_message_func_t s6dns_message_parse_answer_a
Parses A RRs located in the answer section of the packet. The
data argument is interpreted as a pointer to a
stralloc,
and 4 bytes are appended to this stralloc for every IPv4 address found.
s6dns_message_func_t s6dns_message_parse_answer_aaaa
Parses AAAA RRs located in the answer section of the packet. The
data argument is interpreted as a pointer to a
stralloc,
and 16 bytes are appended to this stralloc for every IPv6 address found.
s6dns_message_func_t s6dns_message_parse_answer_hinfo
Parses HINFO RRs located in the answer section of the packet. The
data argument is interpreted as a pointer to a
genalloc
containing s6dns_message_rr_hinfo_t structures.
s6dns_message_func_t s6dns_message_parse_answer_mx
Parses MX RRs located in the answer section of the packet. The
data argument is interpreted as a pointer to a
genalloc
containing s6dns_message_rr_mx_t structures.
s6dns_message_func_t s6dns_message_parse_answer_soa
Parses SOA RRs located in the answer section of the packet. The
data argument is interpreted as a pointer to a
genalloc
containing s6dns_message_rr_soa_t structures.
s6dns_message_func_t s6dns_message_parse_answer_srv
Parses SRV RRs located in the answer section of the packet. The
data argument is interpreted as a pointer to a
genalloc
containing s6dns_message_rr_srv_t structures.
s6dns_message_func_t s6dns_message_parse_answer_caa
Parses CAA RRs located in the answer section of the packet. The
data argument is interpreted as a pointer to a
genalloc
containing s6dns_message_rr_caa_t structures.
int s6dns_message_parse (s6dns_message_header_t *h, char const *packet, unsigned int packetlen, s6dns_message_rr_func_t *f, void *data)
This function parses the DNS packet packet of length packetlen.
It stores the packet header into *h. Then, for every RR in the answer,
authority or additional section of the packet, it calls f with the
relevant parameters. data is the extra pointer given to f to
store information. If the parsing succeeds, the function returns 2 if the packet
contains an answer section and 1 if it does not. Otherwise, it
returns -1 if there is a local error unrelated to the packet, or 0 if no
appropriate answer can be decoded from the packet. errno then contains one
of the following values:

Used as an argument to the chartSeries family of functions,
chartTheme
allows for on-the-fly modification
of pre-specified chart ‘themes’. Users can modify
a pre-built theme in-place, or copy the theme to a new
variable for use in subsequent charting calls.
Internally a chart.theme object is nothing more than a list of values organized by chart components. The primary purpose of this is to facilitate minor modification on the fly, as well as provide a template for larger changes.
Setting style arguments for TA calls via chartTheme requires the user to pass the styles as name=value pairs with a name containing the TA call in question. See examples for assistance.

--- layout: post title: "Waste in the US" author: Rylee Porter linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryleeporter2/ description: "What happens to the 4.5 pounds of trash created per day per person?" date: 2020-02-29 16:31:13 -0400 background: '/img/posts/waste/warehouseGarbage.jpg' thumbnail: '/img/posts/waste/warehouseGarbage.jpg' ---
“Sustainability is a hot button topic,” my sister said to me on the phone. She’s right, it is. I see it within my own social circle. Don’t we all have a friend that is impassioned about sustainability practices? And on the other end of the spectrum, a friend or acquaintance who is cynical, perhaps even hostile about environmental concerns.
Since the 1960s rise of awareness about human impact and adverse environmental consequences, the topic has become entangled in political debate. For example, my own father holds the attitude that environmental concerns are a platform for democrat agendas.
Most people you meet probably recycle when it’s readily available and convenient for them.
The EPA produces a “Advancing Sustainable Materials Management” report every year. The report dissects the quantity of trash produced, the material composition of trash, as well as generational trends and economic indicators that could affect trash production. The 2019 report is based on the most recent information available and reflects data from 1960 to 2017.
(They use the acronym MSW which stands for Municipal Solid Waste [aka: garbage])
“Solid waste generation peaked at 4.74 pounds per person per day in 2000. The rate of 4.51 pounds per person per day in 2017 is slightly lower than the 2016 rate, which was 4.53 pounds per person per day.” (source)
Which seems insane, right? Take one day and record everything you put in the garbage can. When I did, I saw how quickly everything added up. My biggest offenders are food wrappers, single use food and drink containers, and product packaging .
However when it comes to recycling and composting, the data isn’t devastating. As a nation we’re not completely failing to recycle. One could argue we’re doing a decent job.
There is, however, still a LOT of room for improvement. Possibly the most frustrating aspect is the amount of solid waste that ends up in landfills that could have easily been recycled or composted.
The graph above represents the material composition of our trash. The Frontier Group is a group formed in 1996 with the goal to “focus on bridging the gaps between academia, advocacy and citizen participation.”
And they make a very good point when they say, a lot of this trash can be composted or recycled.
Perhaps the most unfortunate facet of our solid waste is the plastic packaging and containers.
The National Geographic said, “Product packaging generates more plastic waste than any other industry” and experts say plastic packaging accounts for 65% of waste by weight.
Food residue doesn’t make plastic containers ineligible for recycling, they just have to be washed out first. This can be done at the recycling plant, or could be done in 30 seconds at home. Cleaning plastic containers at recycling plants cost time and money. The dirtier the container, the progressive decrease of it’s worth. Meaning soiled plastic containers drain revenue (from the sale of these plastics) which helps pay for the whole recycling program. (source)
Paper and cardboard food and drink containers are a different story, as they easily absorb oil, making them completely ineligible for recycling. These are items like: candy wrappers, pizza boxes, beverage cups, and basically every container used in the fast food industry.
So what are you supposed to do? Never order pizza again?

Remember, recycling should be your last option. As far as the hierarchy of the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. First try reducing your waste.
Is the relationship between what can be recycled but doesn’t a lack of public education? I know personally, that if I don’t know it can be recycled, I throw it in the trash. I think the first line of defense is education. Recycling can be difficult because procedures vary locally.
Earth 911 is a website dedicated to helping you find your local recycling guidelines on everything (electronics, cars, batteries, paint). BeRecycled has a similar service.
When it comes to living a more conscious sustainable lifestyle, there are some easy options as awareness and consumer demands for such products and options increase.
ListValet is a great resource to see that your old furnishings or clothes go to new owners, without having to take the time to post and sell your items yourself. It takes minimally more effort than simply throwing things away.
As a seller on ListValet, obviously you’re making money on your own time.
Plus there are so many products that make sustainable choices the more appealing option. After the invention of vacuum sealed, steel insulated, temperature controlled drink containers, who would choose plastic cups or water bottles instead?
Here are some ideas worth considering:
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
My friend, Schuyler, my sustainability zealot, makes a good point. “Sustainability isn’t a one time choice- it’s a million little choices. [Asking for] no straw, or taking your own silverware when you go out, choosing to not use a plastic bag. Small choices that can have a huge impact when stacked up!”

Chrissy Teigen turns John Legend's Sexiest Man Alive cover into pyjamas
Chrissy Teigen proved herself as the world’s best wife (again) by surprising John Legend with some incredible pyjamas covered in his People Sexiest Man Alive cover.
After being declared the sexiest man on the planet in the US magazine’s annual competition, Chrissy has endlessly joked with her husband of six years about his new title, even baiting last year’s winner Idris Elba on Twitter.
But while spending Thanksgiving with their family and friends, the former Sports Illustrated covergirl decided to treat John to a hilarious surprise, as two of her friends dressed up in pyjamas covered in his People magazine cover.

Seriously, we all need to get ourselves us a SO who stans us this hard.
‘Uhh, yes, killing it,’ Chrissy told her friends as she prepared the surprise behind the scenes, adding: ‘Let’s do this’ before sneaking through to the dining room.
Managing to catch John totally unawares, the All of Me singer found the whole thing hilarious, loudly laughing and clapping along with all their other guests, while Chrissy hollered: ‘Sexiest man, baby’.
Despite having already won plenty of awards in his time, it’s fair to say that both John and Chrissy were a little surprised to see John receive the accolade, which has previously gone to Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson and David Beckham.
‘Everyone’s going to be picking me apart to see if I’m sexy enough to hold this title,’ the 40-year-old dad of two told the title.
‘I’m [also] following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me!’
However, Chrissy definitely saw the funny side, tweeting: ‘my secret is out. I have fulfilled my dream of having boned @people’s sexiest man alive!! an honor!!!!!’ and ‘the sexiest man alive just made me a ham sandwich.’
