Brief notes on the cheating behavior literature
Last knit: 2023-08-04
In a previous version of this post, I shared a detective/thriller themed story about academic integrity issues arising in a course I taught. The story picked up more attention than I anticipated. I shared the story as part of a course assessment writing exercise, which has now been completed, and the original post is no longer available.
Part of my course assessment exercise was to learn more about the literature on cheating behavior. I conducted a short literature review on that topic and am posting brief notes about a few of the papers.
For teaching psychology, I found this paper to be most relevant and current:

Also, I highly recommend checking out this book on ungrading, which is increasingly my preferred direction where possible.

Speculates on why students cheat as well as how the behavior seems elicited by the competitive structure of higher ed.
Gave a class of 126 students an opportunity to cheat. Reports that about 30% of students cheated. Students with lower grades cheated more than students with higher grades.

Laments that there isn’t much empirical work on cheating, and that most prior work repeatedly demonstrates the same finding: giving students the opportunity to cheat by allowing them to grade their own tests (and change their answers) elicits cheating behavior (the duplicating technique).
Estimates between 10-90% cheating rates from research giving students opportunity to cheat when grading their own exams.
Calls for more research on cheating that occurs in actual testing situations.

ABSTRACT Forty-five graduate students received three quizzes in one of their courses, and also filled out the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and a questionnaire on cheating. The main findings were: (a) the inci dence of cheating among these graduate subjects was found to be at least as extensive as reported in prior studies among undergraduate students?at least eighteen of the forty-five (40%) graduate subjects cheated on the quizzes; (b) pressure to obtain good grades was the main reason subjects felt they cheated in the past; (c) there was a lack of consensus whether certain behaviors constitute cheating; (d) no significant personality differences were found between cheaters and non-cheaters; (e) the MMPI results provided evidence in support of the doctrine of specificity of moral behavior.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency, methods, and correlates of college cheating. A questionnnaire measuring 7 subject variables and 33 specific behaviors was administered to 200 students. The finding that about 75% of those surveyed had cheated in college was interpreted as supporting an hypothesized trend toward increasing dishonesty. Data on approval and guilt, reasons for cheating, reactions to cheating, and specific techniques were included. It was found that sex, year in shcool, grade point average, academic major, fraternity-sorority membership, and extracurricular participation were significantly related to cheating. The conclusions supported the importance of traditional explanatory variables and suggested an interpretation based on attribution theory.

Abstract
This article reviews 1 decade of research on cheating in academic institutions. This research demonstrates that cheating is prevalent and that some forms of cheating have increased dramatically in the last 30 years. This research also suggests that although both individual and contextual factors influence cheating, contextual factors, such as students’ perceptions of peers’ behavior, are the most powerful influence. In addition, an institution’s academic integrity programs and policies, such as honor codes, can have a significant influence on students’ behavior. Finally, we offer suggestions for managing cheating from students’ and faculty members’ perspectives.

“I got very excited and signed up for several classes at the community college. My employer was paying for the online class but I should have remembered that I would be the one who’d have to take the classes in the end. I didn’t think about it . . . caused me a panic attack. . . . I took some of the classes and did some of the projects but I knew from the beginning that there was no way I could take the online classes and complete them myself. After having that epiphany, I realized that I’d be on the hook for part of the course fee if I didn’t take my online classes and complete them (yes, my employer would only pay if I passed the class) . . . Anyway, I did a bit of research and found No Need To Study. Hiring them was the best decision ever! No Need To Study works lightning fast; it is like they know the classes inside out, taking my classes in record time. I got my classes done! My employer paid and I have the certifications now.”

Evaluates neutralization theory approach to academic misconduct.
Neutralization theory posits a five-factor system to explain how students justify academic misconduct:
- Denial of Responsibility
- Denial of Injury
- Denial of Victim
- Condemnation of the Condemner
- Appeal to higher loyalties
This theory was developed in the context of juvenile delinquency and often applied to academic misconduct.
Table 1 is reasons for Academic misconduct from a sample of university students from 6 institutions in Romania.
Factor analysis suggests student reasons have a single dimension, not five dimensions.
Suggests Achievement Goal Theory as a better model (Urdan, 1997).

Description
| Interface Summary | |
| DisplayTransformable | Defines a common interface used by objects whose transforms are linked to ODE objects and can be updated by the BoundDisplayObject class. |
| Class Summary | |
| BoundDisplayObject | Represents an abstract Display Object that is bound to an Ode Body or Geom (the OdeTransformable). |
| DisplayBin | Stores a List of BoundDisplayObjectS. |
Used to bind ODE to the display library of your choice. As ODE is purely a mathematical physics library, it has no inherent way of displaying the various objects in the scene.
Using this package, ODE objects such as Geom
and Body
can be ``bound'' to
display objects from any given display API. This means that when those
objects move in the ODE scene, the corrosponding representation in the display
library will also be moved. The DisplayBin
object is used to
maintain a list of such bound objects in the scene and keep them in sync.
To use a graphics package with Odejava - all that is needed is to implement
the DisplayTransformable
interface with regards to the chosen
display library. All that interface specifies is a way for setting the
translation and rotational components of the display object so it can be
synched to the ODE one.
In addition to implementing DisplayTransformable
, display libraries
can have a utility class which is given Odejava Geom
S and Body
S
and can automatially generate appropriate representations of them in the display
library using the Geometry properties.
Examples of both a DisplayTransformable implementation and utility class can be seen in the
org.odejava.xith3d
package.

OUT OF SIGHT A film review by Mark R. Leeper
Capsule: An escaped bank robber heads for a big score while being chased by a female federal marshal, each of whom really wants to know the other better. Hunter and quarry are romantically entangled, but are they going to let romanticism get in the way of their professional interests? Steven Soderbergh balances light and dark elements of this sometimes comic, sometimes violent adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel. Rating: 6 (0 to 10), high +1 (-4 to +4)
This is the season for "good guy" bank robbers. Earlier this year we had THE NEWTON BOYS about the most successful bank robbers in American history, but who remained nice guys through it all. Perhaps inspired by them is Jack Foley (George Clooney) who has robbed more than 200 banks without anyone ever being hurt. That record is almost believable as the film opens with Foley using his charm and a clever plot to rob one more bank. This time his luck is against him and he is caught and thrown into prison. Nor do the breaks come his way when he tries to escape from prison. Just as he has tunneled out, gun-loving federal marshal Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez) is there by chance. Foley and company have to take shotgun from her and kidnap her, throwing her in the same trunk in which Foley will hide. Even under the circumstances there is chemistry between them, and even after she escapes, each continues to think about the other. This could be bad for either of them since professionally they are opponents.
George Clooney is sort of a bland actor who floats along on his good looks. I have yet to see him show anything akin to emotional intensity in a role. And because his characters are not stressed, we never see what they are made of. That gives him a nice sturdy screen persona, but it is not going to win him any acting awards. Clooney glides through Jack Foley effortlessly and leaving behind little memorable but his smile. Jennifer Lopez's Karen Sisco is only a little more interesting. She is more of a prime mover in the story, but as is much to frequently the case in 90s popular films, the main characters more have to look good than to create memorable characters. More interesting roles went to Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle, Albert Brooks, and especially Dennis Farina. Watch for two major actors who have cameo roles.
Scott Frank's screenplay is deliberately non-linear and a little confusing, jumping without warning into or out of flashbacks. Perhaps this is even a good thing since the story itself is fairly straightforward. The solution to the puzzle may be simple, but there is enough spin on the ball when the story is told to make the viewer feel good when the pieces fit together. When the film starts we have several seemingly disconnected strands of plot with different characters, but the strands are quickly brought together. Some of the photographic touches are a little obvious. Scenes that take place under the warm Florida sun are shot with bright colors, but scenes that take place in Detroit are shot mostly with a blue filter to give them a sort of run-down look. The dialog is humorous, but a little more down-to-earth than Quentin Tarantino might offer. But then Elmore Leonard has his own strange touch when it come to dialog. There is little actual sex in the film that the audience sees--two characters undress in front of each other, but we see little we could not see on the beach. The conclusion of the film, on the other hand, is fairly gory and we do see the blood.
OUT OF SIGHT is not one of the great crime films, but it is entertainment with a little challenge to the audience. It does not push the outside of the envelope, but it gets its job done. I give it a 6 on the 0 to 10 scale and a high +1 on the -4 to +4 scale.

Maintaining a healthy body weight is a very important aspect of a pet’s overall physical health. Good nutrition can help provide your pet with a happier, safer, and longer life.
There are a variety of diseases that affect animals, so proper vaccination of your pet is vital in protecting them from the many types of illnesses to which they are susceptible to.
Spaying or neutering your pet can help them live a longer, healthier life, minimize behavior problems, and help control the stray population.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, nearly 12,500 puppies are born in the United States each hour. Spaying females or neutering males eliminates unwanted litters, which contribute to thousands of euthanasia procedures.
While usually recommended at a young age, it is important to consult with our veterinarians to determine the best age for your pet. You can reduce the likelihood of certain cancers and tumors by spaying or neutering at the right age.
Benefits include helping to control the dog and cat population, eliminate undesirable and embarrassing behavior and prevent diseases in your pet such as prostate disease and testicular cancer.

DEPLOYNOTES¶
Installation¶
Instructions to install required software and systems, configure the application, and run various scripts to load initial data.
Software Dependencies¶
We recommend the use of pip and virtualenv for environment and dependency
management in this and other Python projects. If you don’t have them
installed, you can get them with sudo easy_install pip
and then sudo pip install
virtualenv
.
Bootstrapping a development environment¶
- Copy
findingaids/localsettings.py.dist
tofindingaids/localsettings.py
and configure any local settings: DATABASES, SECRET_KEY, SOLR_, EXISTDB_, customize LOGGING, etc. - Create a new virtualenv and activate it.
- Install fabric:
pip install fabric
- Install subversion libraries:
apt-get install libsvn-dev
on debian/ubuntu, orbrew install subversion
on OSX. - Use fabric to run a local build, which will install python dependencies in
your virtualenv, run unit tests, and build sphinx documentation:
fab build
- To generate PDFs, you will need to install
Apache FOP (
apt-get install fop
on debian/ubuntu orbrew install fop
on OSX) - Celery/rabbitmq is only needed for publication and svn checkout, so you
may not need to set it up.
- To run celery, use
python manage.py celeryd -Q findingaids
- To trigger an EAD svn checkout, define an archive in django admin.
- To run celery, use
After configuring your database, run migrate:
python manage.py migrate
Deploy to QA and Production should be done using fab deploy
.
Setup the environment¶
When first installing this project, it is recommended to create a virtual environment for it. The virtualenv environment is a directory that can be installed anywhere you like, perhaps adjacent to wherever the source code is deployed. To create your new environment, simply run the virtualenv command:
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages /home/findingaids/fa-env
Note
For Apache/WSGI installations, you should run this command as the apache user.
Source the activation file to invoke your new virtual environment (this requires that you use the bash shell):
$ . /home/findingaids/fa-env
Once the environment has been activated inside a shell, Python programs spawned from that shell will read their environment only from this directory, not from the system-wide site packages. Installations will correspondingly be installed into this environment.
Note
Installation instructions and upgrade notes below assume that you are already in an activated shell.
Install python dependencies¶
FindingAids depends on several python libraries. If you are using pip, you can install all of the dependencies in an automated fashion that will print status messages as packages are installed. If there are any errors, pip should display messages indicating the problem.
To install python dependencies, cd into the repository checkout and:
$ pip install -r pip-install-req.txt
FindingAids requires a SQL database, but the type does not matter,
so this is not included in the pip-dependencies file. You may want to
pip install MySQL-python
or psycopg
, depending on the database you
plan to use.

or psycopg
, depending on the database you
plan to use.
If you are a developer or are installing to a continuous ingration server where you plan to run unit tests, code coverage reports, or build sphinx documentation, you probably will also want to:
$ pip install -r pip-dev-req.txt
Known Issues¶
As of 04/2011, installing python-eulcore from SVN via pip does not install the eulcore template themes correctly. The easiest way to fix this is to manually create a symbolic link from the root of your virtualenv to the python-eulcore theme directory:
$ cd /home/findingaids/fa-env $ ln -s src/python-eulcore/themes/

$ cd /home/findingaids/fa-env $ ln -s src/python-eulcore/themes/
If you are not using pip to install python libraries, you will need the following python libraries:
- python-dateutil library downloadable package or install via
easy_install python-dateutil
- zc.icp for querying cache status; install via
easy_install zc.icp
- django-celery installed via
easy_install django-celery
- feedparser -
easy_install feedparser
- recaptcha-client
easy_install recaptcha-client
- Beautiful Soup
easy_install beautifulsoup
- PIDmanager REST client - http://waterhouse.library.emory.edu:8080/hudson/job/pidman-rest-client-1.1.x
- eulxml, eulexistdb, eulcommon, and eullocal
System Dependencies¶
Celery/RabbitMQ¶
We use celery for asynchronous tasks (currently for generating PDFs of Finding Aids and populate them in the web cache), which requires a task broker. We recommend RabbitMQ. On Ubuntu, RabbitMQ can be installed via:
$ sudo easy_install django-celery
$ sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
For more information on configuring this, please see http://celeryq.org/docs/getting-started/broker-installation.html
FOP¶
Install Apache FOP for PDF generation.
On Ubuntu systems, sudo apt-get install fop
. You will need to configure
the XSLFO_PROCESSOR setting with the full path to the command-line version of fop.
Note that running Fop requires a valid JAVA_HOME be set in the environment.
Squid Cache¶
To address certain performance issues (in particular, dynamic PDF generation), this site should be set up behind a Squid Cache, which should be configured as a transparent proxy. Sample configuration:
http_port <IP_ADDRESS>:80 transparent vhost defaultsite=findingaids.library.emory.edu
Because PDFs will not be changing frequently, and because the django application will refresh cached PDFs on when new or updated documents are published, Squid should be configured to retain PDFs for longer than it normally would:
refresh_pattern /documents/.*/printable/ 10080 90% 10080
Other parts of the website include Last-Modified and ETag headers which should make caching more effective. This includes all single-document finding aid pages as well as search and browse pages. Browse and Search page urls are indicated via query string, e.g.:
/titles/B?page=2
/search?keywords=ciaran+carson
In the transparent cache set up, Squid should automatically cache these documents as users access them. If possible, Squid should be configured so that cached PDFs will be kept in preference to search and browse pages (the custom refresh pattern for printable urls above may be sufficient for this).
Install the Application¶
Apache¶
It is recommended to set up FindingAids up under Apache using mod_wsgi. Because of a locking issue with a python library we use, the site must be configured as a WSGI daemon using the WSGIDaemonProcess and WSGIProcessGroup settings.
The admin section of the site is found at /admin/
under the base site url.
This uses Emory LDAP for login, so the admin site should be configured to run
under SSL.
Sample wsgi and apache configuration files are located in the apache directory inside the source code checkout. Copy them and edit them to adjust for installation paths and IP addresses.
Configuration¶
Configure the application settings by copying localsettings.py.dist to localsettings.py and editing settings for local database, LDAP, fedora, PID manager, eXist-DB and key configuration.
eXist-DB¶
FindingAids requires access to an eXist Database to publish, search, and displya EAD Finding Aid documents. All EXISTDB_ settings in the localsettings example file should be configured for access to an eXist 1.4.x instance. It is recommended to use this applicatoni to manage the eXist index configuration; if you plan to do this, your configured EXISTDB_SERVER_USER should be in the DBA group.
The EXISTDB_PREVIEW_COLLECTION should be set to an eXist collection outside of the main Finding Aids collection in eXist; it is used for admin functionality only. The preview collection should be present in eXist, and the configured eXist user should have permission to write to this collection.
Proxy/Cache¶
The celery task that loads the PDFs in the cache requires configuration settings for PROXY_HOST and SITE_BASE_URL.
If you want to be able to check the status of PDFs in the cache, you must
also configure PROXY_ICP_PORT. If you are using Squid, you may need
to adjust the icp_port
and icp_access
settings to allow this.
Celery Broker¶
The BROKER_ settings in should be configured to match where your RabbitMQ instance is installed and running.
PID Manager¶
The configured PIDMAN_USER must have permission inside the pid manager to add pids and targets.
Email Addresses & Notifications¶
When this application is deployed to production, the Django ADMINS setting should be populated with contact information for technical administators; when any views raise an exception, these people will be emailed with the error. Optionally, SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS can also be configured for additional error reporting to either ADMINS or MANAGERS. See Django Error Reporting for more details.
There are feedback forms on the site that generate and send emails. This makes use of the Django settings for SERVER_EMAIL and EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX and also requires some custom configurations:
- FEEDBACK_EMAIL should be configured with list of one or more email addresses to receive emails from the main feedback form.
- REQUEST_MATERIALS_CONTACTS should be a list of email & Archive pairs to be used with the request materials web form.
If the server where this site is deployed is not configured to act as an SMTP server, you should make use of the Django EMAIL settings to specify the SMTP server host and port (see Django Email settings).
reCAPTCHA¶
This application includes email forms that make use of reCAPTCHA to avoid spam. reCAPTCHA requires the use of keys restricted to your domain. These can be generated for free on the reCAPTCHA website.
The RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY and RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY settings are required for the reCAPTCHA and feedback forms to work. You may also set RECAPTCHA_OPTIONS, to customize the way the CAPTCHA widget is displayed.
Django Cache¶
A few small items within the site that are expected not to change frequently (browse starting letters, RSS feeds for content) are cached with Django’s internal cache framework. This should be configured with the CACHE_BACKEND setting. Where caching is used, it will use the configured cache timeout, so it is recommended to configure this explicitly. The items being cached are not expected to change frequently, so a timeout of 30 minutes or more may be reasonable; the Django default timeout is 5 minutes.
For more details, see the documentation for Django’s cache framework.
Misc¶
The FINDINGAID_EAD_SOURCE configuration should be set to the directory path for the EAD files that will be accessible for loading to eXist via the admin interface. For normal operations, this directory does not need to be writable by this application; however, some migration scripts expect to be able to update the EAD documents in this configured directory.
The CONTENT_RSS_FEEDS configuration should be populated with URLs for RSS feeds with content to populate the front-page site banner, announcements, and non-EAD content pages.
Developer-specific configuration¶
These settings may only be of interest to developers working on the application, and are probably not relevant when installing the application to a QA or production environment.
- eXist query response times are reported on templates in Debug mode only. To view them, set DEBUG = True in your settings, and add any IP addresses that should have access to the INTERNAL_IPS.
- Logging is now available when running via runserver; logging settings are currently configured in localsettings.py.
Initialize/Update the Database¶
After all settings have been configured, initialize the relational db with all needed tables and initial data using:
$ python manage.py migrate
When an upgrade requires new database tables, the same command should be used.
eXist Index¶
After you have configured all the EXISTDB_ settings in localsettings.py, if you are using an eXist-db user in the DBA group, you can use the app to manage the eXist index. Load the index configuration using:
$ python manage.py existdb_index load
This command should also be used when an upgrade requires a change to the eXist index configuration. If there is data loaded to eXist, you should reindex it after loading the index configuration:
$ python manage.py existdb_reindex
If you have a large number of finding aids loaded to the eXist database, reindexing can take a while.
Load EAD to eXist¶
For an initial installation, several migration steps should be run on the EAD documents found in the configured FINDINGAID_EAD_SOURCE directory; these scripts require write access to the EAD source documents. After these migration steps, the documents can be loaded to eXist so they will be accessible in the website.
If you are starting with EAD documents in DTD-format, they must be converted to the EAD XSD schema format:
$ python manage.py ead_to_xsd
Prep the documents (automated cleaning, adding IDs, etc):
$ python manage.py prep_ead
Run a one-time migration to add machine-readable identifiers:
$ python manage.py unitid_identifiers
Load the converted & prepared EAD documents to the eXist database:
$ python manage.py load_ead
By default, load_ead
will start celery tasks to generate and cache the PDFs
in the configured web cache. This requires the celery daemon process to be
running. The default behavior can be adjusted with command-line options (use
--h
to see available options). When run in a mode that caches the PDFs,
the load script will wait until all celery tasks have completed in order to
report on the outcome; this can take a long time to finish.
(OPTIONAL) After you have loaded the data, you may want to check that all eadids and titles in the loaded data are acceptable for the site:
$ python manage.py check_ead eadid
$ python manage.py check_ead title
(OPTIONAL) To check response times for searching and browsing the loaded content with the configured index, run the following:
$ python manage.py response_times browse
$ python manage.py response_times search
Tip
For minimal output with summary information only, use -v 0
.
Cached PDFs¶
To check the status of PDFs in the cache, use:
$ python manage.py check_pdfcache
This uses Internat Cache Protocol (ICP) to query the configured cache, and requires that PROXY_ICP_PORT is set and the cache is configured to allow ICP access. See Proxy/Cache instructions in the Configuration section.
Celery Daemon¶
The celery worker needs to be running for asynchronous tasks. To run through django do:
$ python manage.py celeryd
See http://ask.github.com/celery/cookbook/daemonizing.html for instructions on configuring celery to run as a daemon.
Upgrade Notes¶
1.9¶
Upgrade to Django 1.8 includes a switch from South to Django migrations. For a brand new deploy, you should run
python manage.py migrate
normally. To update an existing database, you will need to run migrations in this order (if you are prompted to remove emory_ldap | emoryldapuserprofile say no until after migrations are complete):# migrate content types, required by everything else python manage.py migrate contenttypes --fake-initial # explicitly fake initial auth migration # (can't use fake initial fails because auth_user doesn't exist yet) python manage.py migrate auth 0001 --fake # fake emory_ldap migrations to avoid blanking out existing content python manage.py migrate emory_ldap --fake # fake-initial not working on fa_admin migrations python manage.py migrate fa_admin 0001 --fake # repeat if you get an error the first time python manage.py migrate fa_admin # run all other migrations, faking initial migrations where tables exist python manage.py migrate --fake-initial
SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS setting has been removed in Django 1.8 and should be removed from
localsettings.py
.The configuration for LDAP has changed; update
localsettings.py
based on the example LDAP configuration inlocalsettings.py.dist
.
1.7.3¶
- This release adds integrations with Aeon, which requires the
addition of two settings in localsettings.py:
- REQUEST_MATERIALS_URL
- REQUEST_MATERIALS_REPOS
1.7¶
A new custom permission has been added to allow admins to view internal digital archival object (dao) links. Run
python manage.py syncdb
to create the new permission and add it to the Finding Aids Administrator group.Configure KEEP_SOLR_SERVER_URL to point to the Solr core used by the instance of the Keep corresponding to the findingaids site (e.g., QA or Production), so that item ids can be looked up and converted to ARK identifiers.
Run a script to update findingaids in subversion, converting item ids in text notes to <dao>:
python manage.py itemid_to_dao -c
Note that this will update the EAD documents in subversion (the -c specifies to commit changes to subversion when the processing is complete). Use the -n (dry run) option or run without -c if you wish to test first.
1.6¶
- CONTENT_RSS_FEEDS configuration is no longer used and can be removed from localsettings.
1.5 - svn admin release¶
- This release adds a dependency on subversion python bindings; installation
requires that subversion libraries be installed on the system (on
debian/ubuntu installe the
libsvn-dev
package; on OSX runningbrew install subversion
should be sufficient). - Run
python manage.py migrate emory_ldap
to convert the user accounts in the database to the new custom user model. - Run
python manage.py syncdb
to create new database tables and update permissions. - Configure subversion admin user and base working directory in localsettings.py with SVN_USERNAME, SVN_PASSWORD, and SVN_WORKING_DIR
- Remove FINDINGAID_EAD_SOURCE from localsettings since it is no longer used.
- Celery daemons should be restarted to pick up a newly added celery task.
1.3¶
- Adds a new configuration DEFAULT_DAO_LINK_TEXT in
localsettings.py
which can be used to specify the default link text for digital archival objects referenced in the EAD. See the commented out example inlocalsettings.py.dist
; default value should be fine. - When the code is deployed to staging the ENABLE_BETA_WARNING configuration
should be set to True on
localsettings.py`
1.2¶
- The logging configuration for sending error messages to site admins has been updated
for Django 1.5; it is recommended to update the logging configuration in
localsettings.py
based on the latest version oflocalsettings.py.dist
1.1¶
If Apache is configured to use the included wsgi script, update the WSGIScriptAlias to the new location (
findingaids/wsgi.py
).Static files to be served out by Apache have been consolidated to a single directory; apache configuration files should be updated to serve out the
static
directory as/static
and other references to the media directories should be removed.Update site and database to work with celery 3.0.
Add database tables for
south
migrations and update the database for the newest version ofcelery
.- python manage.py syncdb
- python manage.py migrate djcelery –fake 0001
- python manage.py migrate djcelery
Celery broker should now be configured using BROKER_URL instead of individual BROKER_ settings; see
localsettings.py.dist
for an example.The celery worker should now be started via:
python manage.py celery worker -Q findingaids
Be sure to update any init scripts that use the old
celeryd
syntax.If not using the WSGI script included with the source code, add the following to your wsgi script:
import djcelery djcelery.setup_loader()
Recommended: update emory_ldap database tables for
south
migrations usingpython manage.py migrate emory_ldap
. If you get an error on the last migration, it is fine to fake it usingpython manage.py migrate emory_ldap 0004 --fake
1.0.9¶
This update requires an upgrade to Django 1.3 and broken-out eulcore
modules (eulxml
, eulexistdb
, and eulcommon
). To
update to the latest versions of Python dependencies, activate the
virtualenv environment and run:
$ pip install -r pip-install-req.txt
If you wish to remove the old version of eulcore
:
$ pip uninstall eulcore
Logging must now be configured in localsettings.py
in the Django
1.3 logging config format; see localsettings-sample.py
for an
example configuration, and
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/logging for more details.
Previous, custom logging configurations (LOGGING_LEVEL,
LOGGING_FORMAT, and LOGGING_FILENAME) will no longer be used,
so you may want to remove them from your localsettings.py
file.
1.0.8¶
Because the PDF caching celery task has been modified, the FindingAids celery daemon process should be restarted after updating the code.
1.0.6¶
To update to the latest version of eulcore
, activate the
virtualenv environment and run:
$ pip install -r pip-dependencies
This update requires a slight modification in the EXISTDB
configuration values in django settings and adds a new timeout
configuration. You should update localsettings.py
to split out
the eXist-db username and password from the EXISTDB_SERVER_URL
setting. See localsettings-sample.py
for an example.
You may now configure a timeout for eXist XML-RPC connections via the
new EXISTDB_TIMEOUT setting in localsettings.py
. See
localsettings-sample.py
for an example and additional information.
1.0.5 bugfix release¶
FindingAids has been updated for deploy with pip+virtualenv. All dependencies are now managed through pip, rather than using svn externals for local dependencies. To get the latest version of the software:
$ . /home/findingaids/fa-env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r pip-dependencies
There is currently a problem with automatic installation of eulcore themes. Please follow the work-around instructions described under Known Issues.
Because of this change, the CSS and images for the genlib theme are now
located under the themes
directory in the virtualenv. You should either
create a symbolic link to the genlib_media directory under the project media
director, or add a new apache alias to the virtualenv location, e.g.:
Alias /static/genlib_media /home/findingaids/env/themes/genlib/genlib_media
Make sure that the apache configuration specifies the virtualenv in the WSGI python-path and edit your django.wsgi file to set the VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable, eg.:
os.environ['VIRTUAL_ENV'] = '/home/httpd/findingaids/env/'
1.0 Site Design & Content¶
To get the latest database changes and fixtures, run syncdb
as documented in
Initialize/Update the Database.
The eXist index configuration has changed slightly. Please reload and reindex as described in eXist Index.
New python libraries are required for reCAPTCHA (recaptcha-client) and RSS feed parsing (feedparser). The easiest way to install them is using the pip-dependencies file as documented in Install python dependencies.
Non-EAD content pages are now populated with RSS feeds; configure the expected feeds in the new CONTENT_RSS_FEEDS setting as documented in Misc.
RSS feeds are cached using Django’s internal caching framework; see Django Cache in the Configuration documentation for details on what should be configured in local settings.
There are new two web-based forms that generate emails. In support of this, several new configurations are required in localsettings.py. New fields are FEEDBACK_EMAIL and REQUEST_MATERIALS_CONTACTS. See Email Addresses & Notifications. These forms also make use of reCAPTCHA, which requires that you set reCAPTHCA public and private keys in localsettings.py as documented in reCAPTCHA.
Now using the BeautifulSoup python library for some minimal processing of RSS feed HTML content; install using the pip-dependencies file as documented in Install python dependencies.
0.4.1 Unitid Identifiers¶
There is a new one-time migration script that is now part of the initial data load process. Run the new command and then reload documents as documented in Load EAD to eXist:
$ python manage.py unitid_identifiers
Note
The unitid_identifiers script requires write access to the EAD source documents.
0.4 Persistent IDs¶
Finding Aids now relies on the PID manager for generating ARKs. (Requires at least 0.9.x, with REST API). See the PID Manager section in the Configuration section of the installation instructions, and see localsettings-sample.py for the required settings.
Re-run the prep and load steps documented in Load EAD to eXist to create ARKs for all EADs (shis is now part of the prep step) and load the updated documents to eXist.
Note
The prep script requires write-access to the EAD source files.
0.3 Enhanced Search¶
Pisa/ReportLab PDF generation has been replaced with XSL-FO and Apache FOP. See FOP section under System Dependencies . Pisa and ReportLab are no longer in use and can be uninstalled.
To get the latest database changes and fixtures, run syncdb
(documented in
Initialize/Update the Database).
Search and browse pages now include a last-modified header to enable caching. There may be no additional configuration required to take advantage of this; see Squid Cache for more details.
The eXist index configuration has changed. Load the new version as documented in eXist Index (reindex is not required).
The FindingAids site now requires EAD documents in EAD schema format instead of the DTD-format we were using previously. Migrate and reload all documents as documented in Load EAD to eXist.
Logging is now available when running via runserver; it is currently NOT enabled when running through mod wsgi. See Developer-specific configuration.
0.2 Data Preparation / Admin site¶
There are a few new external dependencies; see Install python dependencies for details.
The application now requires a Celery/RabbitMQ task broker and requires that the celery daemon be running to handle asynchronous tasks (caching PDFs). See Celery Daemon for details.
Update localsettings.py with configuration settings that have been added since the last version (see examples in localsettings-sample.py and documentation in the Configuration instructions).
- EXISTDB_SERVER_TIMEZONE and EXISTDB_PREVIEW_COLLECTION - see eXist-DB
- FINDINGAID_EAD_SOURCE - see Misc
- Proxy/cache settings: PROXY_HOST & SITE_BASE_URL - see Proxy/Cache
- Celery Broker/RabbitMQ settings - see Celery Broker
The Finding Aids site now requires a sql database for user
management and tracking deleted finding aids. You should set up a
database, configure it in localsettings.py, and run migrate
to
initialize required tables, as documented in Initialize/Update the Database.
There are new manage.py scripts to clean up EAD documents and load them to eXist. Follow the steps documented in Load EAD to eXist.
The new admin section of the site is at /admin/
under the base site url.
This uses Emory LDAP for login, so it should be configured to run under SSL.
See the Apache section of Install the Application.
eXist query response times can be reported on web pages for developers; see Developer-specific configuration for details.
There is a new script to check the status of PDFs in the configured cache. See Cached PDFs for details.

At least 14 police officers suffer smoke inhalation, 8 residents injured in New York apartment fire
by Brie StimsonAt least 14 New York Police Department officers and eight civilians reportedly suffered smoke inhalation or other injuries in a two-alarm house fire in the Bronx early Wednesday morning.
The officers were injured while knocking on apartment doors to get residents out of the building, WPIX reported. Their injuries were minor.
LAS VEGAS HOUSE FIRE PROBED AS MURDER-SUICIDE: REPORTS
More than 100 firefighters responded to the blaze and got it under control within an hour as smoke filled the building, forcing evacuations, WNBC reported.
The fire was on the second and third floors of the building in the Wakefield part of the Bronx.

sBltTile performs multiple sBlt() calls, to fill in the TileX:TileY-TileWidth:TileHeight rectangle. The small rectangle to be used as a tile is specified by SpriteX:SpriteY-SpriteWid:SpriteHei. An additional offset is specified by StartX:StartY.
void sBltTile(long TileX,long TileY,long TileWidth,long TileHeight, long SpriteX,long SpriteY,long SpriteWid,long SpriteHei, long StartX,long StartY);
None. [ASM: All registers are preserved.]
sBltTile(0,0,400,300, 0,0,64,64, 0,0);
sBltTile is not optimized. It calls sBlt() many times, without getting any hint whether it could stop earlier (due to clipping). Thus, using a tiny source-rectangle generally isn't a good idea. 40x40 source-rectangles and above are best, as regards speed.


wcstok
—get next token from a string#include <wchar.h> wchar_t *wcstok(wchar_t *__restrict source, const wchar_t *__restrict delimiters, wchar_t **__restrict lasts);
Description
The wcstok
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
strtok_r
function (which in turn is the same as the strtok
function with an added argument to make it thread-safe).
The wcstok
function is used to isolate (one at a time)
sequential tokens in a null-terminated wide-character string,
*
source. A token is defined as a substring not containing
any wide-characters from *
delimiters.
The first time that wcstok
is called, *
source should
be specified with the wide-character string to be searched, and
*
lasts–but not lasts
, which must be non-NULL–may be
random; subsequent calls, wishing to obtain further tokens from
the same string, should pass a null pointer for *
source
instead but must supply *
lasts unchanged from the last
call. The separator wide-character string, *
delimiters,
must be supplied each time and may change between calls.
A pointer to placeholder *
lasts must be supplied by
the caller, and is set each time as needed to save the state
by wcstok
. Every call to wcstok
with *
source
== NULL
must pass the value of *
lasts as last set
by wcstok
.
The wcstok
function returns a pointer to the beginning of each
subsequent token in the string, after replacing the separator
wide-character itself with a null wide-character. When no more tokens
remain, a null pointer is returned.
Returns
wcstok
returns a pointer to the first wide character of a token, or
NULL
if there is no token.
Notes
wcstok
is thread-safe (unlike strtok
, but like strtok_r
).
wcstok
writes into the string being searched.
Portability
wcstok
is C99 and POSIX.1-2001.
wcstok
requires no supporting OS subroutines.

A James Martin favourite, crisp fried squid with a tangy yuzu mayo for dipping. Yuzu is now available in some supermarkets.
For the chilli-garlic sauce, put all the ingredients in a small saucepan with two tablespoons water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
For the yuzu mayonnaise, put the egg yolks, salt, vinegar, chilli-garlic sauce and yuzu in a food processor and blend. With the motor still running, gradually add in the vegetable oil until the mixture has thickened and resembles mayonnaise.
For the squid, heat the oil in a deep fat fryer or a deep-sided, heavy bottomed pan to 190C, or until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns golden-brown when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not over-fill the pan or leave unattended).
Sprinkle the flour onto a plate and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the squid rings in the flour until completely coated, shaking off any excess.
Beat the eggs in a bowl, then sprinkle the Japanese panko breadcrumbs onto a separate plate.
Dip each floured squid ring first in the beaten egg, then dredge it in the panko breadcrumbs until completely coated.
Carefully lower the coated squid rings, in batches, into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper. Keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining coated squid rings. Season with salt.
Place the squid onto a serving plate. Drizzle over the yuzu mayonnaise. Garnish with the spring onions, mint, coriander and fresh chilli and serve immediately. Place the lime wedges on the side.


The King sat naked. Like a foolish pauper on the street, he sat leaning
against a cold wall, drawing in his blue, goose-bumped legs. He shivered,
with his eyes closed, he listened, but everything was quiet.
He awoke at midnight from a nightmare and immediatelly understood that
he was finished. Some one weezed and writhed by the door of the bedroom
suite, he heard footsteps, metalic jingling and drunken mummbling of His
Highness, Uncle Buht: "Let me through... Let me..  Wet with icy sweat, he slintly rolled off his bed, ducked into a
secter closet, and loosing himself he ran down the underground passage.
Something sqelched under his bare feet, the startled rats dashed away, but
he did not notice anything, just now, sitting next to a wall he remembered
everything; the darkness, the slippery walls, and the pain from a blow on
the head against the shakled door to the temple, and his own unberable high
yelp.
They shall not enter here, he thought. No one shall enter here. Only if
the King order's so. But the King shall not order... He snickered
hysterically. Oh no, the King will not order! He carefully un screwed up his
eyes and saw his blue, hairless legs with scraped knees. Still alive, he
thought. I will live, because they shall not enter here.
Everything in the temple was blueish from the cold light of the
lanterns -- long glowing tubes that were stretched under the ceiling.  The
King continuously and stupidly stared, until God was suddenly screened by a
shabby lay brother, still a greenhorn. Scraching, with an open mouth he
gazed at the naked King. The King squinted once again. Scum, he thought, a
lousy vermine, catch the mongrel and to the dogs, for them to ravage... He
reasoned that he did not remember the lout well, but he was long gone. So
scrawny, snotty... That's all right, we'll remember. We'll remeber
everything, Your Highness, Uncle Buht. During the father's reighn, I dare
say you sat quietly, drank a bit and kept silent, were afraid to be noticed,
you knew that King Prostyaga did not forget you ignoble treachery...
Great was the father, the King thought with an accustomed envy. You'd
be great, if your advisors are God's angels in flesh. All know, all have
seen them: their faces fearful, white, like milk, and their garment were
such that one could not understand if they were naked or not. And their
arrows were fiery, like lightning, they drove off the nomads with the
arrows, and although they casted them overhead, half the horde cripled from
fear. His Highness, Uncle Buht, wispered once upon a time, drunk and
burping, that those arrows can be cast by anyone, that special slings are
needed that the angels have and that would be nice to take from them. And he
said then -- he was drunk then, -- that if it is nice to have, why not have
it, why not... Soon after that table talk one angel fell off the wall into
the moat, probably slipped. Next to him they found one of uncle's body
guards with a javelin between his shoulder blades. It was a dark, dark
deed... It good that the people did not care about the angels, they were
scary to look at, but it is not clear why is it scary -- angels were happy,
cordial people. Only their eyes were scary. Small, shiny, and they keep
racing around... non humanoid eyes, not peaceful. So the people hushed down,
although father, King Prostyaga gave them such freedom that it is shameful
to remember... although, before the Coup, father, they say was a saddle
maker. For saying so, with my own hands I had torn eyes out, and sewen ears
shut. But I remember, he used to sit in the evenings by the Crystal Tower,
and he would cut out leather -- beautiful work. And I would perch myself at
his side, it's warm and comfy... The angels were singing from the rooms, so
quietly, and in harmony, and father would start to accompany -- he knew
their language -- it used to be spacious, nobody around... not like now,
guards are stuck at every corner, but there is no sense in it...
The King lamented. Yes, he was a good father, just that he did not die
for a long time. You can't do that while your son is still alive... The son
is also the King, the son also want's to... But Prostyaga did not age, I'm
over fifty,and he still looks younger than me... It looks like the angels
had asked God for his health... They asked for his health, but they forgot
about me. They say that the second one they managed to pin down in the
father's room, he had a sling in each hand, but he did not fight. Before
death, they say, he threw both of them out the window, they burst into a
blue flame, there was no dust left... Too bad about the slings... And
Prostyaga, they say, cried and got drunk then, within an inch of his life --
the first time since his reign -- looked for me, they said, loved me,
believed...
The King drew his knees to his chin, and hugged his leggs. So what if
he believed? One should know one's limit, abdicate, like it is done
elsewhere... and I do not know anything, and do not want to. There was only
a conversation with my uncle, His Highnesss.
"Prostyaga, -- he said, -- doesn't age". -- "Yes, -- I tell him, -- but
what can we do, the angels pleaded for his health." Uncle then sneered,
scum, and wispered: "Angels, -- he said, -- no longer sing their songs
here". And I blurted out: "It is true, but now there is a way to deal with
them, not just with humans". Uncle looked at me soberly, and immediatelly
left... And I didn't really say anything... Empty words, without meaning...
And in a week Prostyaga died from a heart attack. So what? It was his time.
He looked young, but in reality he was over one hundred. We'll all die...
The King was startled, and covering himself, awkwardly sat up. Into the
temple came the High Priest Agar. Lay brothers were leading him by the
hands. He didn't look at the King, came up to God and kneeled in front of
the eminence, tall, hunch-backed, with waist length dirty-white hair.  Agar
spoke in a rich voice:
- God! The King wishes to speak to you! Forgive him and listen!
The room fell silent, no-one dared to breathe. The King contemplated:
when the great flood happened, and the earth burst, Prostyaga asked God to
help, and God came down from the sky as a ball of flame on the same day, and
that night the earth closed up, and the flood disappeared. It means that
this is how it will happen today. You were late uncle, Your Highness, you
didn't manage. No one can help you now...
Agar straighned up.  The
Kind saw, how Agar stretced his clasped hands and put them on Gods chest.
God's eyes lit up. The King snapped his jaw from fear: the eyes were big and
different -- one was snakish-green, the other white, as bright as light. One
could hear how God started to breathe, heavily, with crackling, like
consumption. Agar backed away.
- Speak, - he whispered. It looked like he was unsettled as well.
The King lowered to all fours, and started to crawl to the eminence. He
did not know what to do or how. And he did not know how he should start and
whether he should tell the complete truth. God breathed heavily, weezing,
suddenly he started to whimper, quietly and thinly - scary.
- I'm the son of Prostyaga -- said the King in despair, smothering his
face against the cold stone. -- Prostyaga died. I ask protection from the
conspirators. Prostyaga made mistakes. He did not know what he was doing. I
have fixed everything: calmed the people, became great and unatainable, like
you, I gathered an army... And the treacherous Buht is disrupting my plans
to conquer the world...  Help me!
He raised his head. God, without blinking, was looking in his face with
green and white. God was silent.
- Help me... - repeated the King. -- Help! Help! - He suddenly thought,
that he is doing something wrong, and that God is indifferent towards him,
and inopportunely remembered: they said, his father, Prostyaga, did not die
from a heart attack, but was killed here, in the temple when the killers
came in, with out asking permission. -- Help!.-- he screemed desperatelly.
-- I'm afraid to die today! Help! Help!
He hunched up on the stone tiles, biting his hands from an unbarable
terror. Differently-eyed God hoarsly breathed above his head.
- Old vermine, - said Tolya. Ernst was quiet.  -- When I think, Tolya spoke again, -- that if not for him, Alan and
Derek would be alive, I want to do something, that you never wanted to do.
Ernst shrugged his shoulders and moved to the table.
- And I always think, - Tolya continued, - why didn't Derek shoot? He
could have killed all...
- He couldn't , - said Ernst.
- Why couldn't he?
- Have you ever tried shooting at a human being?
Tolya made a wry face, but didn't say anything.
- Well that's what it was, - said Ernst. -- Try to imagine it. It is
almost as disgusting.
A sorowful howl was heard from the loudspeaker. "HELP HELP I AM AFRAID
HELP..," the auto-translater was writing.
- Poor cruel folk... - said Tolya.

As the world gets more complicated so does managing all the digital assets of an organization. Standardizing is no longer about the software, the infrastructure provider or even the location but rather the ability to manage across multi-stack, multi-location and multi-providers in a streamlined fashion. Learn about the best way to speed up your time to market across your entire organization by standardizing on next generation DevOps we call FleetOps.

Content editing is the process of letting users create rich content directly from your project. It goes from allowing users to write simple text comments to letting users write rich documents collaboratively in real-time. Due to the inherent risks of displaying user content on your platform, it is a difficult problem to tackle in a secure, scalable and feature-rich way.
Let's discuss how the HtmlSanitizer component, Symfony UX and Mercure can be used together to build amazing editing experiences for your users.

Abstract: In this paper we analyze the relationship between the computational capabilities of randomly connected networks of threshold gates in the timeseries domain and their dynamical properties. In particular we propose a complexity measure which we ﬁnd to assume its highest values near the edge of chaos, i.e. the transition from ordered to chaotic dynamics. Furthermore we show that the proposed complexity measure predicts the computational capabilities very well: only near the edge of chaos are such networks able to perform complex computations on time series. Additionally a simple synaptic scaling rule for self-organized criticality is presented and analyzed. 1

I love animals and will take care of your pets as if they are my own. I will ensure timely feedings, exercise, any necessary medications, and love.
Get the mail. Water the plants. Clean the bathroom. Wash the dishes. I will ensure your home looks lived in and will leave no mess.
You'll never have to worry about if you locked the doors or turned off the stove. I'll take care of everything and can send updates.
According to my friends, I'm annoyingly reliable. I'm also very security-conscious. You won't need to worry if the door is locked or the security alarm is enabled. I have you covered.
Whether you want daily updates or for me to mostly leave you alone during your vacation, I can provide updates (with photos, if desired) via SMS, email, phone, etc.
While I do charge a fee, I can guarantee it will be less than most house/pet sitting services.
I'm a nomad. I've lived in several places around the United States (CA, GA, IA, MD, NH, OH) and have traveled abroad.
All I need is a high-speed Internet connection, a quiet space, and I can work from anywhere!

Chris house-sat for us for a whole week while our family was on vacation. We had never had someone house-sit before, but this was our longest vacation since having our daughter, and we needed someone to feed our cat, put out the garbage cans, and generally keep an eye on the house. Chris is low-key and pretty meticulous, so we knew the house would be in perfectly good hands. We barely communicated during our vacation and figured "no news was good news." When we got back, we even found that he had done a bit of cleaning, which we really appreciated, but that he totally did not have to do! We'd definitely have Chris back the next time we take off on a long trip.
San Diego, California
It gave us piece of mind knowing Chris was taking care of our home while we were away. When we got back, everything was in order and the house was spotless!
San Diego, California
Chris took care of our house and older dog for 18 days while we were out of the country. Our pup had some medical issues, but we knew he would be in amazing hands while we were gone. Being a pet owner himself, we knew Chris would know what to do in an emergency. We would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a house-sitter, pets or no pets, as his responsible and attentive nature would ensure everything is taken care of!

Lighting Workshop
In the in-class workshop today, we reviewed how to create a basic three-point lighting setup using a small and large lighting kit, as well as reflectors.
We then looked at lighting a green screen, and how distance from the screen can reduce spill onto the subject. Reviewing how to setup all the stands, wiring, and lights was very helpful.

This function calculates the benefits for an entire dataset, sometimes called a tree inventory. This works similar to i-Trees Eco software where the user supplies data, the common name field, the botanical name field, the dbh field, and the region. All calculations are done on unique species/dbh pairs to avoid redundant computation and speed up the calculation.

Bail for Goa swimming coach accused of rape
by PTIA Goa court on Friday granted bail to suspended swimming coach Surajit Ganguly accused of raping a minor girl in September this year.
Mr. Ganguly, employed at the time with Goa Swimming Association, was accused of rape by a 15-year-old girl training under him.
The girl’s father had filed a case in Rishra police station in Hooghly district of West Bengal, after which the case was transferred to Mapusa in Goa where the complainant said the incident happened.
Mr. Ganguly was arrested in New Delhi in September and is at present in judicial custody.
While granting him bail, Goa Children’s Court president Vijaya Ambre on Friday directed him to cooperate in the probe.
Mapusa police filed a charge sheet in the case earlier this month, after which Mr. Ganguly moved the children’s court for bail last week.
He has been accused of rape under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Goa Children’s Act.


At home after birth of Edward since Jan 19th, leaving little time for research. Assembled notes from a few side projects I’ve moved forward in the wee hours. Covers the past several days.
XML and RDFa parsing
I have been using the lab notebook to explore technology for scientific communication, including making use of semantic and linked data concepts. To illustrate some of the potential these tools can offer I’ve started working on a short post with examples parsing and exploring the XML and RDFa data in the notebook. Still forthcoming. The any23 API provides a great tool for this (particularly RDFa to RDF XML, where we can then take full advantage of xpath tools on the semantics).
Other notebook updates
MathML: Can have Pandoc render source in MathML and MathJax will still perform the HTML rendering in all browsers. Unfortunately, certain commands seem not to parse in this mode that do parse in Pandoc mathjax mode (e.g. those with operatorname
in 2012-11-01 post).
Updated timeout setting on twitter plugin. 0cb7a11
PDG Control Follow-up
Skype with Paul for follow-up on third working group meeting. Key steps forward on policy costs:
All comparisons should be with reference to total value/profit of the strategy, rather than induced cost. Then compare against induced values directly. (Issue #35)
Quadratic costs should appear in supplement only (Issue #45)
Real-world context framing worked out. (Issue #39)
These and further details are listed in issues tracker for the project.
Updates to knitcitations
v0.3-3
- Added a new display option,
bibliography('markdown')
- fixed BUG in the printing of the text-based name in bibliography for bibstyle-based calls
v0.3-2
- Semantic citations now enabled.
bibliography
can print with method ‘rdfa’ to provide RDFa enhanced HTML bibliography data, and citations can take cito arguments as an option. (Closes issues #16 and #17) bibliography
now takes more options to match thebibstyle
andprint.bibentry
functions.citet
andcitep
take an optional argument for formating the citation, defaulting toauthoryear
format. Future versions may move this into an option.newbib()
function initializes and clears existing cache files.- README.md updated with semantic examples and more background text (generated by inst/examples/README.Rmd).
- Some basic unit tests built in. Could use more, but meanwhile closes #8.
- Test cases work with knit2html button in RStudio, closes #14
v0.3-1
- Switched to handling citation data using environment rather than an external bibfile. This does not refer to the handling of user-provided bibtex files as input data, which are supported as before, but changes only the backend management of that data. The external bibtex file method can be switched back on by setting
options("bibtex_data" = TRUE)
. - There is no need to call
print(bibliography, "html")
, one can simply callbibliography()
orbibliography("html")
. Sort is still an option, other options that were for internal use (debug
,remove_duplicates
) are removed as they are no longer necessary. - Several new functions have been added to handle the new methods.
v0.2-0
- Fix vignette error that prevents knitr 1.0 submission
- Fixed errors on installing package and lack of entries in bibliography
- Semantic print option added but still in early testing

The goal of this project is using ros and OpenCV to cruise the cozmo robot on a track with the ability avoiding obstacles and stopping at traffic sign. You can find the project Here at Github
Similar to my previous projects, the frame is analyzed in HSV space and segmented into regions. The lower area marked in red is for road center detection and obstacle detection. As in the picture above, a block showing in the frame makes the robot turning to right as the blue arrowed line indicated.
The reason why I chose this over the road shoulder/edge detection is the narrow viewing angle of the mounted camera. Otherwise, edge detection and hough transfer can do the work for edge detection and return the middle point of the two lines for the motion control.
And the green rectangle marks the area for sign or traffic light detection. So far, a predefined color, pink, is chosen. When the robot sees the sign, it stops until the sign is removed.
Here I use PID control of the angular velocity (velocity delta between caterpillar tracks) for the cruise of the robot. As in equations below, the e, error, represents the delta between the center of the road ahead in the red rectangular area and the screen center. Besides the P control, I include the D control to improve the stability and reduce overshoots.
u = ke* e + ki* eint + kd* ed
ed = e - eprev eint = eint + e
The node list and the function of each node:
The topics used in this project:
There is a launch file, run.launch, enables the visual tracking function and the motion control function mentioned above. Once the cozmo driver is enabled, we are ready to go.
The auto white balance of the cozmo robot is not ideal. So, there is an additional function, img_cal, that does the calibration, normalizes the RGB values and store the values into a text file in the src folder of this project.
The default setting of the cozmo driver outputs mono color stream. So a little tweak is required.
coz.camera.color_image_enabled = True
enables the color stream output but the tradeoff is the resolution goes down from 640x480 to 320x240.
Another tweak I did to the cozmo driver is boosting its rate. It was 10Hz and to have a better tracking performance, I boosted it up to 30Hz.

Production Architecture¶
Outline¶
This document outlines what a production environment hosting Designate could look like, it follows an in-cloud model, where Designate would be hosted on instances in an OpenStack cloud. It’s supposed to complement the Architecture document, please start there if you are unfamiliar with the designate components.
Designate Dependencies¶
Designate has been designed to integrate with Keystone, or a Keystone-like service, for authentication & authorization, in a production environment it should rely on your Keystone service, and be registered in your service catalog.
Expectations¶
This architecture expects your environment to have an external loadbalancer that is the first touch point for customer traffic, this will distribute requests across the available API nodes, which should span your AZs & regions where possible.
Roles¶
A Designate deploy breaks down into several key roles:
- Designate API
- Designate Sink
- Designate Central
- Designate MiniDNS
- Designate Pool Manager
- Message Queue
- Database (MySQL or derivative)
- Memory caching
- DNS Backend
Designate API¶
Typically, API nodes would be made available in multiple AZs, providing redundancy should an individual AZ have issues.
In a Multi-AZ deployment, the API nodes should be configured to talk to all members of the MQ Cluster - so that in the event of MQ node failing, requests continue to flow to the MQ.
Designate Sink¶
In a Multi-AZ deployment, the sink node should be configured to talk to all members of the MQ Cluster - so that in the event of MQ node failing, requests continue to flow to the MQ.
Designate Central¶
In a Multi-AZ deployment, the Central nodes should be configured to talk to all members of the MQ Cluster - so that in the event of MQ node failing, requests continue to be processed.
Designate MiniDNS¶
In a Multi-AZ deployment, the MiniDNS nodes should be configured to talk to all members of the MQ Cluster - so that in the event of MQ node failing, requests continue to be processed. It should also be configured to talk to multiple DB servers, to allow for reliable access to the data store
Designate Pool Manager¶
In a Multi-AZ deployment, the Pool Manager nodes should be configured to talk to all members of the MQ Cluster - so that in the event of MQ node failing, requests continue to be processed.
Message Queue¶
An AMQP implementation is required for all communication between api & central nodes, in practice this means an RabbitMQ installation, preferably a cluster that spans across the AZs in a given region.
Database¶
Designate needs a SQLAlchemy supported Database/Storage engine for the persistent storage of data, the recommended driver is MySQL.
In a Multi-AZ environment, a MySQL Galera Cluster, built using Percona’s MySQL packages has performed well.
Memory Caching¶
Designate optionally uses Memory caching usually through a Memcached instance to speed up Pool Manager operations.
DNS Backend¶
Designate supports multiple backend implementations, PowerDNS, BIND and MySQL BIND, you are also free to implement your own backend to fit your needs, as well as extensions to provide extra functionality to complement existing backends.
There are various ways to provide a highly available authoritative DNS service, here are some suggestions:
- Multiple PowerDNS instances using the same database being maintained by Designate Central, optionally using MySQL Replication to propagate the data to multiple locations.
- DNS AXFR (Zone Transfer) multiple slave DNS server get notified of zone updates from a DNS server being managed by Designate Central.
