Rajnath arrives in Bangkok for ADMM-Plus meeting
by PTIDefence Minister Rajnath Singh arrived in Bangkok on Saturday to attend the ADMM-Plus meeting where defence ministers of ASEAN countries and eight other nations would gather and discuss the way forward for security cooperation.
"Rajnath Singh arrived in Bangkok today to attend ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus) and the opening ceremony of Defence and Security 2019 Exhibition," a government press release said.
Singh is scheduled to attend the ADMM-Plus meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, on Sunday.
As part of the agenda for the ADMM-Plus meeting, Singh will also release a "Handbook on Military Medicine for ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations)" along with Myanmar Defence Minister Lieutenant General Sein Win.
"Bilateral meetings with several participating defence ministers are planned," the release said.
In addition to the 10 ASEAN countries, eight countries such as Japan, the US and China participate at this meeting to promote more practical defense cooperation.
During his two-day visit, Singh will also inaugurate the India pavilion at the Defence and Security Exhibition in Bangkok.
"He will address the business seminar and interact with the industry representatives," the release said.
A courtesy call on Thailand Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will also take place during the visit, it said.

Chapter 7 Setting Your R Profile
When developing on the RStudio server instance on your Spark HDInsight Cluster, it might be useful to configure your profile so that your R environment can find the SparkR library. This can save some tedious operations that can easily be missed, or mistyped.
Here is an example .Rprofile, specifying the location of the SparkR
library. If you prefer not to load the SparkR library by default, or change your user Rprofile
, you can load the package directly from it’s directory before conducting your analysis. Details of doing this are provided in the following chapter.
.First <- function() {
.libPaths(c(file.path(Sys.getenv("SPARK_HOME"), "R", "lib"), .libPaths()))
pkgs_to_load <- c(getOption("defaultPackages"), "SparkR")
options(defaultPackages = pkgs_to_load)
}
.Last <- function() {
if (interactive()) {
hist_file <- Sys.getenv("R_HISTFILE")
if (hist_file == "")
hist_file <- "~/.RHistory"
savehistory(hist_file)
}
}
For more information about your user Rprofile, see the R documentation on startup configurations: help(Startup)

NuiPaginatorModule
To get a basic paginator working, only 2 parameters are required: total
item count and pageSize
- which is the item count per page. Use the
page
parameter to optionally set the current page-link (default=1).
pageSize
is a Number, so pageSize="42"
won't work.
PageSize can take only those values that are listed in defaultPageSizeSet (10, 25, 50, 100).
Control the number of page-links shown adjacent to the current page-link with the adjacent
parameter. When the current page-link is flanked by
ellipses, adjacent
page-links are displayed on both sides of the current page-link. Up tp adjacent * 2 + 1 + 6
total links are displayed. Default adjacent
= 1. By default, the maximum number of links shown is adjacent*2+5
,
but the default can be overriden using the maxElements
parameter.
You can define avaliable item counts per page. To do this you need to define pageSizeSet
input which has Array<number>
type.
By default this input has 10, 25, 50, 100 page sizes.
pageSize
can take only those values that are listed in pageSizeSet.
Prev and Next buttons can be hidden if you pass showPrevNext
as false.
There are a couple of ways to customize the paginator styles. Use activeClass
to customize the active page-link and disabledClass
to
customize the disabled paginator. It's also possible to override the ellipses characters using the dots
parameter.
Virtual scroll is used in the "three dots" popup, when the number of hidden pages is greater than 1000.
Paginator visibility is affected by several different factors. hide
allows the developer to explictly control paginator visibility, while hideIfEmpty
allows the developer to optionally hide the paginator when the dataset is empty (default=false). Finally, the paginator is hidden automatically if total
is less than 10 or if invalid parameters are specified.


<IP_ADDRESS>/24 network was discovered in the information gathering process for the JC system. We already have a routing rule between <IP_ADDRESS>/24 and <IP_ADDRESS>/24 networks via the first compromised machine.
In the present case, network packages that comes from <IP_ADDRESS> to access the JC device (second compromised machine) first go to the RD device (first compromised machine), and the RD transmits those packages to the JC machine.
If the attacker who is <IP_ADDRESS> wishes to access <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -newly discovered second hidden network– network, a new routing rule must be defined. In the tools we will use outside the Metasploit Framework, we must run a new socks4 proxy server to connect these two pivots and define the new proxy server in the configuration file of the proxychains tool.
Network packages attempting to reach the <IP_ADDRESS> destination from the attacker machine (<IP_ADDRESS>) will pass through two different points:
RD: I do not know how to access the <IP_ADDRESS> IP address. But I know the system who knows how to access it. I can direct you to it.
JC: I know how to forward packets from the <IP_ADDRESS>/24 network to the <IP_ADDRESS>/24 network.
The final state of the compromised and discovered systems is as follows.
Holy Proxychains
The ProxyChains tool connects the proxy servers and transmits the connection end to end. In the last phase, a new socks4 proxy server is run on the local 1081 port for the newly discovered <IP_ADDRESS>/24 network.
The information of the new proxy server will define in the /etc/proxychains.conf configuration file. By activating the Dynamic Chain setting, sequential switching between the defined proxy servers is ensured.

Only copy the amount of data that can fit in the array or string. Make sure that the array or string is large enough to fit all the data, including the possible trailing null.
Copying more data than an array or string can fit results in a buffer overflow.
Allocate enough buffer space for copying data, when data is being copied to an array or a string.
Perform the following steps to assure that your code allocates enough buffer space when copying data to prevent buffer overflows:
Identify all functions that copy data to strings or arrays. List the components, modules, and libraries that do the most amount of data handling. Usually there exists some code heavy on manipulating data that copies many buffers or constructs various strings.
Calculate the amount of memory that is used by data being copied or set a maximum size limit for valid data. Make sure to include a trailing null if a null-terminated string is being copied. When calculating the size of data, count the amount of memory it uses, not the amount of elements in the array. Be careful when using the sizeof() function, because it returns the size of a pointer when an array containing data is passed as a parameter to the function. The memory size of data should be calculated beforehand, ideally in the same scope in which the data structure containing data is declared, and passed as an argument to the function that does the copying.
Allocate memory for the buffer. Once the amount of memory needed to fit all the data is determined, allocate an array or a string of a sufficient size. Write code to handle possible memory allocation errors.
Check bounds when copying. Use the size of the allocated array or string when copying to assure that only the amount of data that fits into the array is copied. This should always be the case if the amount of memory to allocate is calculated correctly, but for extra security it is a good idea to write code in a way that truncates data if it doesn't fit into the buffer.
Here is a classic buffer overflow example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
// make sure one argument is supplied to the executable
if (argc != 2) return 0;
// buffer size does not correspond to the size of the data being copied
char buffer[8];
// data that doesn't fit in the buffer overflows
strcpy(buffer, argv[1]);
return 1;
}
One solution is to simply truncate any data that does not fit in the buffer:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc != 2) return 0;
// buffer size does not correspond to the size of the data being copied
int buffersize = 8;
char buffer[buffersize];
// data that doesn't fit in the buffer is truncated, so no overflow occurs
strncpy(buffer, argv[1], buffersize);
return 1;
}
It is better to actually calculate the size of the data that is being copied and allocate the correct amount of memory for it. However, just in case the calculation is somehow incorrect, any data that does not fit in the buffer should be truncated:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc != 2) return 0;
// buffer size is the same as the size of the data being copied, so no truncation should occur
int buffersize = sizeof(argv[1]);
char buffer[buffersize];
// data that doesn't fit in the buffer is truncated, so no overflow occurs
strncpy(buffer, argv[1], buffersize);
return 1;
}


Frequently Asked Questions About StrutsTestCase for JUnit
Is there a discussion group for StrutsTestCase?
Yes, there is an active user forum hosted on the SourceForge site.
Are there more detailed instructions on how to run the StrutsTestCase examples?
The StrutsTestCase distribution comes with several sample classes, and step-by-step instructions on how to run them. Please
see the the README.txt file in the examples directory for more details.
Does StrutsTestCase support Tiles?
Yes, StrutsTestCase supports Tiles. If your test are failing, make sure that your CLASSPATH is set properly, so that
StrutsTestCase can find the appropriate resource files, specifically the tiles definitions file. See the next FAQ
entry for more details.
Why does my test fail complaining about "Missing configuration resource for path /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml"?
This usually occurs when your CLASSPATH is not set properly to point to the directory that contains the WEB-INF directory.
For example, if your struts-config.xml is located in the following directory:
/my/directory/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml
.. then you would set the CLASSPATH as follows:
CLASSPATH=/my/directory
The same applies for all other resource files, like tiles definitions and the like. As an alternative, you can use
the setConfigFile method
to point to your configuration file, keeping in mind that you must reference the file appropriately.
Why do I keep getting NoClassDefFoundErrors when I run my test case?
Assuming that your CLASSPATH is indeed set up properly, there are two situations where this problem might occur:
- If the NoClassDefFoundError you're receiving complains about a class called ActionConfig, then you are probably trying to use a version of strutstest.jar built against Struts 1.1 in a Struts 1.0 environment. Get the version of StrutsTestCase appropriate to your test environment.
- If the NoClassDefFoundError you're receiving complains about either ServletRequestWrapper or a ServletResponseWrapper, then you are probably trying to run a version of strutstest.jar that supports Servlet 2.3 in a Servlet engine that only supports the 2.2 specification. Get the version of StrutsTestCase appropriate to your test environment.
- If the NoClassDefFoundError you're receiving complains about Tiles classes (eg: DefinitionsUtil or ComponentDefinition), you must include the tiles.jar in your CLASSPATH. This should only an issue for Struts 1.1b1.
Why do I keep getting LinkageError's when I run my test case?
There are three known causes for this problem:
- CLASSPATH issues: If your CLASSPATH contains multiple XML libraries that are incompatible, you will get this error. One solution is to places xerces.jar at the front of your CLASSPATH, which ensures that a compatible set of interfaces and implementation classes are loaded.
- JUnit Swing UI TestRunner: If you are using the swingui.TestRunner class, you must uncheck the reload classes every run box before you run your tests.
- Ant <junit> task: If you are using the <junit> task, you must make sure the fork attribute is set to true before you run your tests.
Why is a session value I set in one test method not available in another test method?
StrutsTestCase follows a common JUnit practice of not saving state between unit tests. This is to avoid side effects when running many unit tests at once, each of which should remain independent of one another. If you wish to test an Action subclass that depends on another Action or Servlet having set up one or more state variables, you should simulate this behavior by setting the state variables in the session object (via the getSession() method) or the request object (via the getRequest() method). Alternately, you can test several Action subclasses in a sequence by calling setRequestPathInfo() and actionPerform() for each one. For more information, please see the JUnit site.
How can I use the Struts transaction token support in my test cases?
You can use the Struts transaction token in your tests by using the addRequestParameter method, thusly:
public void testTransactionToken() {
addRequestParameter(Constants.TOKEN_KEY, "test_token");
getSession().setAttribute(Globals.TRANSACTION_TOKEN_KEY, "test_token");
setRequestPathInfo("/testToken");
actionPerform();
verifyNoActionErrors();
}
Can I access the ActionForm for my test before and after the Action is executed?
Yes, you can. Both MockStrutsTestCase and CactusStrutsTestCase have a setActionForm() method for
setting the ActionForm for a given test, and a getActionForm() method for retrieving an ActionForm instance
after the Action is executed.
When I use setActionForm(), why are the form attributes I set not showing up in my Action class?
Even though you can pass an ActionForm instance to your Action, it does not mean you are subverting how
Struts handles the form processing. In particular, if you have overridden the ActionForm.reset() method,
then you could potentially be resetting any attributes you had set in the ActionForm instance you
pass to setActionForm(). Likewise, any request parameters you pass along that correspond to attributes
in your ActionForm instance will replace whatever you set in your test method.
How can I test uploading a file using StrutsTestCase?
This is a tricky operation to test, but at least one enterprising user has found a way to do it.
Why does my test stop executing before the ActionForward is processed?
StrutsTestCase is designed to test only a single Action class within a test method, and as such,
by default does not actually process the forward, be it another action or a JSP page. This minimizes side effects
that can produce spurious test results. If you are using Cactus, you can override this behavior by calling the
processRequest method so that the
request is fully processed by the container.
You can also simulate calling multiple actions in a MockStrutsTestCase test method by calling
setRequestPathInfo() and actionPerform() multiple times within the same method. If you choose to do
this, however, you should call clearRequestParameters() to
ensure that no unexpected request parameters are passed along.
Can I test multiple Actions in the same test method?
Yes you can -- see the previous question.
Still scratching your head? Please post a message on the user forums.

Israel the LORD's Chosen
1 “But now hear, O Jacob my servant,
Israel whom I have chosen!
2 Thus says the LORD who made you,
who formed you from the womb and will help you:
Fear not, O Jacob my servant,
Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants.
4 They shall spring up among the grass
like willows by flowing streams.
5 This one will say, ‘I am the LORD's,’
another will call on the name of Jacob,
and another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD's,’
and name himself by the name of Israel.”
Besides Me There Is No God
6 Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel
and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
“I am the first and I am the last;
besides me there is no god.
7 Who is like me? Let him proclaim it.
Let him declare and set it before me,
since I appointed an ancient people.
Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen.
8 Fear not, nor be afraid;
have I not told you from of old and declared it?
And you are my witnesses!
Is there a God besides me?
There is no Rock; I know not any.”
The Folly of Idolatry
9 All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame.
10 Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing?
11 Behold, all his companions shall be put to shame, and the craftsmen are only human. Let them all assemble, let them stand forth. They shall be terrified; they shall be put to shame together.
12 The ironsmith takes a cutting tool and works it over the coals. He fashions it with hammers and works it with his strong arm. He becomes hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water and is faint.
13 The carpenter stretches a line; he marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes and marks it with a compass. He shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house.
14 He cuts down cedars, or he chooses a cypress tree or an oak and lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a cedar and the rain nourishes it.
15 Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it.
16 Half of it he burns in the fire. Over the half he eats meat; he roasts it and is satisfied. Also he warms himself and says, “Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire!”
17 And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. He prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”
18 They know not, nor do they discern, for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their hearts, so that they cannot understand.
19 No one considers, nor is there knowledge or discernment to say, “Half of it I burned in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and have eaten. And shall I make the rest of it an abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?”
20 He feeds on ashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
The LORD Redeems Israel
21 Remember these things, O Jacob,
and Israel, for you are my servant;
I formed you; you are my servant;
O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22 I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you.
23 Sing, O heavens, for the LORD has done it;
shout, O depths of the earth;
break forth into singing, O mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it!
For the LORD has redeemed Jacob,
and will be glorified in Israel.
24 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer,
who formed you from the womb:
“I am the LORD, who made all things,
who alone stretched out the heavens,
who spread out the earth by myself,
25 who frustrates the signs of liars
and makes fools of diviners,
who turns wise men back
and makes their knowledge foolish,
26 who confirms the word of his servant
and fulfills the counsel of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited,’
and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,
and I will raise up their ruins’;
27 who says to the deep, ‘Be dry;
I will dry up your rivers’;
28 who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd,
and he shall fulfill all my purpose’;
saying of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be built,’
and of the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.’ ”

Meet the Artist Reception
Saturday, August 3 from 2-4PM
I am an abstract expressionist artist. I respond intuitively and spontaneously to nature, painting the rich hues and organic shapes around me from an emotional perspective. I paint how what I see makes me feel. I want viewers’ first take of my paintings to be one of the big picture. On the second take I want them to become curious by the subtle marks and patinas, which, to me is a sweet reward for them looking closer and exploring. It is an invitation to feel as well as see. All of my paintings are acrylic/mixed media works on canvas. In addition to paint, I use graphite, oil pastels, ink, and charcoal to add variety and contrast to my mark making in order to create a surface finish that adds a sense of story, history, and mystery to the work... a quiet back story to each piece.

COM6014 Fundamental Security Properties and Mechanisms
| Summary |
This wide-ranging module covers some fundamental concepts, properties, and mechanisms in security, e.g. identity, authentication, confidentiality,
privacy, anonymity, availability and integrity. Cryptographic algorithms are explored together with major attacks (using a break-understand-and-fix
approach). High level security protocols are explored (passwords, graphical passwords, key distribution and authentication protocols) together with
some rigorous mechanisms for reasoning about their correctness (e.g. belief logics). Other mechanisms such as biometric authentication are also
covered. |

specific security mechanisms, and the ability to calculate or otherwise determine the strength of specific mechanisms in their deployed
context - We will address quantitative criteria (e.g. for cryptographic elements) and qualitative approaches (e.g. some formal methods for protocol
proofs of correctness);
- A3 develop the analysis and synthesis skills necessary to identify important threats to systems under examination, evaluate the degree to
which threats to systems are countered, and propose countermeasures or appropriate changes to countermeasures to achieve effective and
efficient risk reduction;
- A4 enhance the communication and professional skills of the student;
- A5 familiarise the student with the contextual issues relevant to the topics taught - professional, legal, ethical, political etc.

- LO1 [A1] explain what the major system security properties are, why they are important, and what mechanisms are available to support
them;
- LO2 [A2] describe security strength criteria for specific mechanisms (nonlinearity, autocorrelation and complexity measures for
cryptographic components, classification
performance criteria for biometrics, etc.), explain the rationale behind them, and determine
the strength of specific mechanisms (e.g. calculate specific cryptographic strength indicators);
- LO3 [A3] analyse deployed mechanisms, identify weaknesses in them, and demonstrate
how they can be exploited;
- LO4 [A3] choose suitable security requirements and mechanisms in a variety of system contexts;

Maurizio Sarri slams Juventus players after disappointing defeat to Lazio
- Maurizio Sarri blames his players for disappointing defeat to Lazio
- Cristiano Ronaldo scored his seventh goal of the season
- A goal each from Luiz Felipe, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Felipe Caicedo handed the Old Lady the first defeat of the season
Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri has slammed his players for after suffering his first Serie A defeat to SS Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico last weekend.
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal failed to count after the hosts came from one goal down to beat the defending champions 3-1 in a thrilling encounter.
A goal each from Luiz Felipe, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Felipe Caicedo rendered the 34-year-old's a mere consolation at the end of the meeting.

The manager according to SunSport said most of his players refused to follow his plans and it was their undoing in the game.

He said: "Many players didn't respect the strategy and ended up in the wrong position. We paid for those distractions.
"Dybala was supposed to be closer to the ball and Bernardeschi drifted into a more central position. These were some things we had said before the game and they didn't happen."
Colombian star Juan Cuadrado was handed a marching order in the 69th minute and the manager believes the call was a wrong one.
He added: "I think we were very good in the first half, it could have been perfect had it not been for that goal just before the break.

"In the second half, it was dominated by incidents, including the sending off.
"I think it was a foul for the yellow card, the red one was a bit exaggerated, but we lost control of the situation and the opportunity to reach the first place."
Legit.ng earlier reported that Maurizio Sarri suffered his first defeat as Juventus manager as the Old lady surrendered the Serie A lead after being thumped 3-1 by Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.
Cristiano Ronaldo put the away side in the lead in the 25th minute after a nice passage of play gave him a fairly simple tap in goal.
At the stroke of half time, Lazio drew level as Luiz Felipe found the net from a pass from teammate Luis Alberto.

Cop.js gives better maintainability and evolution to web applications by providing contexts and traits. Cop.js is based on the context-oriented programming paradigm where objects are adapted at runtime with different behavior depending on active contexts.
The project is hosted on GitHub, with annotated source code made available, as well as an online test suite, and here is an example of how to use contexts. Cop.js is available for use under the Apache 2.0 software license.
| Development Version (0.1.2) | 25kb, Full source, lots of comments |
| Production Version (0.1.2) | 7.4kb, Packed and gzipped |
Cop.js dependencies are:
Context-oriented programming, for short COP, provides language level abstractions that simplify the development of context-aware applications. As of today, there is a lack of COP languages that can reach all major mobile platforms.
We propose Cop.js, a COP language extension for Javascript that can be used either in web apps or in hybrid apps. Hybrid apps, like those using Phonegap, have the advantage of running on all major mobile platforms. In addition, our approach overcomes some limitations of current COP solutions in solving conflicts between adaptations. Mainly, by treating adaptations as traits.
If you're new to context-oriented programming, and curious about what Cop.js can do for you, start by looking at the contexts demo. There you find a running example, where you can edit and run the code directly in the browser.
Contexts can be seen as "reifications of situations that can occur while an application executes". For example, an application running on mobile might be interested if the battery runs low, the internet connection is interrupted, or the GPS is momentarily disabled. A part from raw data being sensed, other contextual information might be of interest, like the user being logged as guest or as admin, if he speaks english or french, or if his current location is at home, at work, or at the university.
For example, if we are on mobile we might be interested in treating the battery low situation as a context. By using the Phonegap API we can listen to the "batterylow" event. Here is how we can create a batteryLow Context:
var batteryLow = new Cop.Context({ name: 'batteryLow', initialize: function() { window.addEventListener("batterylow", onBatteryLow, false); function onBatteryLow(info) { if (info.level <= 30) this.activate(); else this.deactivate(); } } });
However, a simple context can be created as follows:
context = new Cop.Context({ name: 'test' });
oncontext.on(event, callback, [object])
Bind a callback on a Context event.
The event can be:
Here is an example of binding a callback that will be called after the context object is activated.
onActivate = function(context) { alert("context '" + context.name + "' is now active"); }; context.on("activate", onActivate);
Here is an example of binding a callback that will be called after the context object is deactivated.
onDeactivate = function(context) { alert("context '" + context.name + "' is no more active"); }; context.on("deactivate", onDeactivate);
offcontext.off(event, callback, [object])
Remove a callback previously-bound on a Context event.
For example, here we remove callbacks from the context object:
context.off("activate", onActivate);
context.off("deactivate", onDeactivate);
activatecontext.activate()
Activating a Context is done by calling the activate method:
context.activate();
deactivatecontext.deactivate()
Deactivating a Context is done by calling the deactivate method:
context.deactivate();
adaptcontext.adapt(object, trait)
A Context can store adaptations by calling adapt on the Context,
and passing the object to be adapted and the adaptation as
a trait.
Note: Traits are composable units of code reuse.
We use trait as an adaptation, as it groups together all the
methods and properties that exhibit the context-dependent behavior for
the adapted object. In addition, conflicts for adapted objects between
different contexts can be handled in a robust way by traits as name
clashes (conflicting properties) must be explicitly resolved by a
composing entity. More about traits can be learned at
traitsjs.org, which is the Javascript
implementation Cop.js uses for manipulating traits.
Suppose we have the following object:
object = { greet: function() { alert("Normal behavior."); } };
To provide an adaptation for the context object we have to do the following:
context.adapt(object, Trait({ greet: function() { // this._super.greet(); alert("Context adapted behavior."); } }));
However, in order to see the context-dependent behavior of greet() we must first create a ContextManager instance, pass it the context object, and then start the instance.
There should be just one ContextManager in the whole system. Upon creation, all Context objects should be provided along with known relations between contexts. Note: relations are not implemented for now.
Here is an example of creating the ContextManager:
contextManager = new Cop.ContextManager({ contexts: [context], relations: {} });
startstart()
The ContextManager, once created needs to be started in order to
allow objects acquire traits as needed depending on the
active contexts. As a result, objects can exhibit
context-dependent behavior.
contextManager.start();
For example, in order to see the modified behavior for object.greet() the following steps must be followed:
object.greet();
resolveConflictresolveConflict(object, contexts, [callback])
An adapted object can have different traits for different contexts -
where a trait is just a map of properties (attributes and methods).
At runtime adapted objects acquire traits depending on the current set
of active contexts.
When traits are composed conflicts can happen. A conflict,
also known as a name clash, occurs when two or more traits provide
a property with the same name but different implementation -
where a property is a method or an attribute.
The ContextManager provides the resolveConflict method used to
solve a possible conflict that can happen at runtime between two or more
traits for an adapted object.
resolveConflict method takes the following parameters:
For example, we might have an object MYAPP, and two contexts batteryLow and offline, that declare two adaptations for the MYAPP object for the same initScreen method:
MYAPP = { initScreen: function() { alert("Normal initialization."); } }; batteryLow.adapt(MYAPP, Trait({ initScreen: function() { alert("Low battery initialization."); this._super.initScreen(); } })); offline.adapt(MYAPP, Trait({ initScreen: function() { alert("No network initialization."); this._super.initScreen(); } }));
Resolving the conflict that is generated when the two contexts will be active requires using the resolveConflict functionality.
For example, here we solve the conflict with a callback function:
contextManager.resolveConflict(MYAPP, [batteryLow, offline], function(batteryLowT, offlineT) { return Trait.compose( Trait.resolve({initScreen: 'initScreenBatteryLow'}, batteryLowT), Trait.resolve({initScreen: 'initScreenOffline'}, offlineT), Trait({ initScreen: function() { alert("Running offline with low battery."); this.initScreenBatteryLow(); this.initScreenOffline(); } }) ); });
While here we solve the conflict without a callback function:
contextManager.resolveConflict(MYAPP, [offline, batteryLow]);
When both offline and batteryLow contexts are active, calling the MYAPP.initScreen() method will first invoke the offline behavior, which proceeds to the batteryLow behavior, which proceeds to the basic initScreen behavior.
Contexts demo is where you can begin your first steps towards learning more about Cop.js. Thanks to CodeMirror you can edit and run a few lines of code that use contexts directly in the browser. There are three examples:
CiclaMi is both a
web app and a mobile app with one codebase, and has different
functionality for when running in the browser or on mobile (Android).
It has three tags:
0.1.2 — June 25, 2012
Bug fix. When traits are applied like mixins, linearly, now work as expected.
CiclaMi has three releases: initial, traditional and contexts.
0.1.1 — June 8, 2012
ContextManager's resolveConflict method now takes
optional callback for resolving a conflict for an adapted
object between traits. When no callback is provided, traits will
be applied like mixins - a linearization scheme will be defined
between adaptations with right to left precedence. Improved documentation.
0.1.0 — May 21, 2012
Initial release of Cop.js library.

It implements a set of generic RTOS building blocks, which the Cobalt/POSIX and Cobalt/RTDM APIs are based on. Cobalt has higher priority over the Linux kernel activities.

There is a test/measurement for TV Remote Field Sound, which requires precise and time-consuming work to find results.
Goal here is to automate this test / measurement to get accurate result and decrease labor time.
We had explored SOX documentation to get details of each sox command for this automation.
SoX - Sound eXhange | Documentation
Here is performance comparison between manual operation and this program.
previous worktime to get results by manual operation
it took 2 workdays
current worktime using this program
it takes 22mins
The following sections are the details of this projects from design to implementation.
To make this project maintainable and sustainable, some confirmation as follows.

It is a bit challenge to find an appropriate algorithm to calculate.
But we finally made it.
abs(mic_rms - src_rms) = 6.0±0.1
. The magic number is from SHESmic_rms_val
fluctrates. It is sensitive and susceptible to surrounding noisesrc_rms_val
is TV sound value(dB), it enumerates every volumes [1,2,..,100]It is seemingly simple to find out an algorithm as follows. Though it is not the case, due to mic_rms_val
drastic variantion,
6.0 - 0.1 <= |mic_rms_val - src_rms_val| <= 6.0 + 0.1
We had run several experimental tests to gather first-hand raw data of mic_rms_val
and src_rms_val
.
The following graph displays their variation during continual 6mins when TV volume is 5.
mic_rms_val
variates dramatically due to ambient noise outside of the lab room.
src_rms_val
(or Reference
) is stable. Its max variation is 0.01. It has little effection compared with tolerance of specification(±0.1).

Even after N
time tries, there is no available number found, then it implements harmonic mean
to get a number that is close enough to true value.
Harmonic Mean = n / ∑ [1/Xi]
We started the Main program to find suitabl src_rms_val
when TV volume is 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 ...
Low TV volume tests are most significantly prone to take long time to find out suitable numbers.
Average search time is 66.60 seconds.
It predicts total search time of TV Remote Sound test is 20 minutes.
| volume | Search time(s) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 99.11 |
| 5 | 33.14 |

Mimicking Celestial Motion with Optical Metamatgerials

Background
In general relativity, the existence of matter-energy densities results in curves space-time, and light follows the geodesic line. On the other hand, the mapping between a real space and a curved virtual space can be realized by spatially designing the optical properties of an optical medium, one example is the invisible cloaking. Thus, an equivalence of light trajectories can be established between the curved space in the general relativity and spatially engineered inhomogenous optical medium, namely metamaterials. With this equivalence, we can study celestial phenomena using table-top experiments with spatially engineered optical metamaterials.
Optical Black Hole
The most interesting phenomena associated with the general relativity are the black holes. A black hole is defined as a spatial region where space and time are distorted in such a way nothing (including light) can escape. There are several interesting phenomena associated with black holes, such as event horizon, photon sphere and optical scattering. While the mimic of event horizon in an optical metamaterial requires extreme optical properties (index goes to infinity), and is difficult to realize, we show that with engineered dielectric metamaterials, it is possible to reproduce photon sphere and the scattering properties of a black hole.
Fig. 1 (a) Index profile of an optical black hole (b, c) ray tracing and full wave simulation of light incident onto the photon sphere.
An index profile given in Fig. 1.(a) leads to the similar phenomenon as the photon sphere in a black hole. The light rays with a specific impact parameter approach a circle asymptotically, as verified by a ray tracing in Fig. 1(b) and a full wave simulation in Fig. 1(c). Since the refractive index profile is finite, it can be realized with nano engineered composite material systems consisting of semiconductor (such as GaAs) and air.
Continuous index photon traps
With photonic metamaterials, we can also investigate other interesting applications. Here we propose a continous index photon traps (CIPT). In CIPT, the index profile is designed to support confined and stable photon motion, though not necessarily closed (Fig. 2). A general formulae for such a profile is given by,
where c(r) is an arbitrary monotonously decreasing function. The CIPT does not have an interface, or boundary, and it can eliminates completely the radiation loss, as in contrast to the well known whispering gallery mode cavity. Since CIPT is stable against perturbations, it can have a very large quality factor that is only limited by the material loss. This opens way to a completely new design towards extremely high Q cavities.
Fig. 2 FDFD simulations of bound and stable light propagation in a CIPT, a circular orbit with period 2p (left) and a ‘Rosetta’ type of orbit with period 4p.

Advice on being effective
How can I become more successful? Whole forests have been felled to provide the paper to try to answer this question.  Admittingly, most of these books can, at best, be replaced by a blog post or by the author's TED talk. At worst, better use for some books is as a coffee cup coaster. Many self-help books do contain some nuggets of wisdom, however. I think they can reflect some of our best virtues: the desire to grow and improve as a student, employee, boss or friend. In this short post, I would like to present some of the advice I collected over the years that helped me in my daily life.
The pursuit of success
First, let us agree on a working definition of success:
A successful person is someone who can do most of the things they want to do, both professionally and personally.
Here, we will mainly restrict ourselves to the matter of time management, not with issues regarding finance, capabilities or opportunities. Note some aspects of this definition:
success is personal: it can only be defined according to your own goals;
success should embody both your professional and your private life; someone with a dream job but no time for family, friends and personal interests cannot be considered successful;
success is a state, not a goal. It is not some endpoint one can aspire to. Instead, it is a (hopefully) continuous state.
In this light, I am happy to consider myself reasonably successful. I have a fulfilling job and ample free time to spend with my loved ones.
The advice
Deciding what to do
Deciding what to do
The first step to the road of success is deciding what to do (and coincidently, what not to do). To succeed professionally, one has to become competent in doing something valuable. Specifically, one should invest in acquiring deep skills that support your (professional) mission statement. These skills are typically hard to attain yet advantageous to your career.
I will take the life of an academic scientist as an example. At the beginning of a project, I recommend outlining your research topic and the related literature. Think hard which skills might support these best and invest in learning the intricate details of a laboratory technique, a programming language or an essential piece of software. Only by genuinely mastering an aspect of your field, you can stand out among the masses.
Though it is, by definition, very hard to become the best in a domain, everyone has two gifts in which they are better than average. It was Scott Adams who proposed that by combining your strong points, you can create a unique and coveted profile. Taking myself as example, my mission statement is to use computational intelligence to improve biological systems. I am neither the greatest computer scientist nor an outstanding biologist. Still, I have a broad overview of both fields, which makes my expertise quite appreciated. Additionally, there are certain smaller subdomains, such as kernel-based learning and optimal transportation, I have invested in learning the nitty-gritty details. These allow me to take the lead in my own projects.
Think in systems, not in outcomes
Think in systems, not in outcomes
"Your current habits are perfectly designed to deliver your current results." – James Clear
When thinking about how to achieve something, most people have a particular target in mind. For example, you want to become acquainted with the literature, learn a new language, gain muscle, etc. The problem is that you might become blind-sighted about reaching this particular goal. Worse, reaching a goal is just a point in time, inevitably afterwards you will end up with a 'now what?'-moment?
A powerful idea regarding performance and productivity is letting go of a goal-oriented mindset and embracing a systems-oriented mindset. So, try to cultivate daily or weekly habits that will generate the outcomes that you want. A systems-oriented mindset is a flip from 'achieving' to 'becoming'. Instead of trying to work to a particular goal, be the person who regularly makes time to read papers, takes a run or practices a language.
Plan your day (and life)
Plan your day (and life)
At some point in their lives, everyone will advance to the point where one has more on their plant than they can handle. When organizing your tasks, look at both the urgency and the importance.
you don't want to spend time on unimportant tasks, do you? Working on unimportant and not urgent tasks will lead to a bore-out;
working on important but urgent tasks will likely lead to a burn-out;
not urgent yet important tasks are the sweet spot: you work on things matter while still being at the top of your game!
A competent person is capable of taking a complex problem and breaking it down into manageable pieces. There are numerous applications to get organized. I use none of them (save for Google calendar). Of the many systems that I tried, the only thing that I still use daily is (non-artistic) Bullet Journaling. I like that this is an analogue method and only requires a notebook with numbered pages (I swear by Leuchtturm1917). In my simple setup, I have a long-term planner for the next six months, a calendar for the month and a daily log. I use the rapid logging system for tasks, notes and events.
You can enjoy the simplicity of using a simple notebook, or you can apply some sophisticated time management tool, it does not matter. The main point is to regularly take the time to divide your tasks into simpler subtasks and allocate blocks of time to work on them. Whether it is your work, household chores or plain leisure, you always want to ration your scarcest resource wisest.
Executive summary
If most self-improvement books could be summarized into a blog post, then it is only fair that a blogpost on self-improvement can be condensed in a sentence:
Think strategically about your goals, create and follow habits to achieve them and make a plan.
Resources
These are the books I found most helpful in organizing my life.
The Organized Mind by Daniel J. Levitin
"Straight thinking in the age of information overload", written by neuroscientist Daniel Levitin. The book discusses various strategies on how to organize your home, social life and work.
The books of Cal Newport
Cal Newport is a no-nonsense person who practices what he preaches. I can recommend most of his books, especially "So Good They Can't Ignore You". By his own admission it can be summarized as:
do fewer things;
do them better;
know why you do them.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
"Atomic Habits" by James Clear is quite instructive in how to tailor your habits to generate excellent outcomes. His weekly newsletter is the only newsletter I enjoy reading in full every time!
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
A classic and still highly relevant. In summary, the habits are:
(internal) be proactive and take control;
(internal) begin with the end in mind (i.e., work towards a goal);
(internal) put first things first (i.e., make a plan);
(exterior) think win-win (i.e., look at how you can both benefit when working together);
(exterior) seek to understand, then to be understood;
(exterior) synergize (i.e., look how working together can create better outcomes than working separately);
develop good habits to cultivate yourself physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.
You will find echoes of these habits in my own advice.

Namespaces are a mechanism for managing names in a distributed way that greatly reduces the likelihood that two independent parties will create the same name for different purposes.
An XML namespace has a namespace name (a URI) and a set of local names (NCNames as defined in [XML Namespaces]). Using a URI leverages the well-understood URI allocation mechanisms of [WebArch Vol 1]. [XML Namespaces] defines a syntactic shorthand for the combination of a namespace name and a local name: the qualified name, or “QName”. (Note that languages which use QNames as identifiers are required to provide a mapping from QNames to URIs.)
The proposal to define a new local name, “id
”, in the namespace “http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace
” (the xml:
namespace) raised a question about the identity of a namespace. Concretely, it exposed two perspectives:
One perspective was that the xml:
namespace consisted of xml:space
, xml:lang
, and xml:base
(and no other names) because there was a point in time in which those where the only three names from that namespace that had a defined meaning.
The other perspective was that the xml:
namespace consisted of all possible local names and that only a finite (but flexible) number of them are defined at any given point in time.
Colloquially, we often speak of “adding a name” to a namespace. Here we prefer to speak of “defining a name” or otherwise licensing the interpretation of a name. For example, the [xml:id] specification defines the meaning of the local name “id” in the xml:
namespace. Similarly, a namespace created to hold the names of all the reserved words in a programming language would license the interpretation of those QNames without explicitly defining each of them.
The terms MUST, SHOULD, and SHOULD NOT are used in this document in accordance with [RFC 2119].
The publication of [xml:id] as a Recommendation, provided a partial answer to the question of which perspective is correct. Adding a definition for the local name “id
” in the xml:
namespace demonstrated that the number of local names defined in the xml:
namespace could be extended.
The question remains, however, as to whether the other position is ever sound. This Finding takes the position that it is.
Namespaces, originally designed to provide names for XML elements and attributes, have been adopted much more broadly by the web community. They are now used not simply for elements and attributes but for function names, tokens, and identifiers for ever more purposes.
The xml:
namespace demonstrates that some namespaces benefit from a policy that allows additional names to be defined in them over time. This does not preclude the possibility that some namespaces would benefit from a policy that forbids such extension. From these observations, we conclude that the following good practice applies:
Good Practice
Specifications that define namespaces SHOULD explicitly state their policy with respect to changes in the names defined in that namespace.
For namespaces that are not immutable, the specification SHOULD describe how names may be given definitions (or have them removed) and by whom.
If a namespace document is provided, as [WebArch Vol 1] recommends, the namespace change policy SHOULD be stated in the namespace document.
As a general rule, resources on the web can and do change. In the absence of an explicit statement, one cannot infer that a namespace is immutable.

As COVID-19 became an increased risk for diners and restaurant owners, many turned to Uber Eats to limit disease transmission. Uber Eats introduced contactless deliveries, allowing for drivers and consumers to safely resume a slice of 'normal' life.
In Q2 of 2020, Uber Eats had a 103% increase in revenue alone. Q2 began in April at the height of COVID-19 lockdowns across the country.
Marie Tassiello, an Uber Eats courier who has been delivering since 2019, noticed an extreme uptick in deliveries once lockdowns started. "At the beginning of April, my app would not stop going off. I was doing triple the amount of orders on my usual route. At first, I thought I was imagining how busy I was, but learning that Uber earned so much this year confirms my suspicion," she said.
With Q4 just beginning and lockdown phases rolling back countrywide, Uber Eats revenue increase may continue.

[gecode-users] Propagator priority queue

Please check here, this also has lots of experiments checking different
priority styles:
http://web.it.kth.se/~cschulte/paper.html?id=SchulteStuckey:TOPLAS:2008
For a more implementation-oriented discussion (including the data structures
for queues):
http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/Papers/abstracts/tackDiss.html
But it is more or less the same what Eclipse does (I read Joachim Schimpf's
very clear reply to your question on the Eclipse mailing list). One
important difference is that Gecode's propagator queues support changing
priorities for propagators already being queued to support staging.

Subject: [gecode-users] Propagator priority queue
Dear all,
does Gecode use a priority queue for the propagators which are fired when a
variable becomes assigned etc or are they executed in the order they're
enqueued?
Thanks,
Lars
