It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

No Plant Left Behind!
Watering plants is easy. Remembering when and how much water to give each one? That's another story. And if you've got more than a few leafy friends in your house, things can get out of order fast. With the Water My Plants app, you can ditch the memory game and watch your plants flourish!
Track Each Plant
Add a name, location and watering cycle for each plant you want to monitor. If a plant has special needs, enter notes into the description field.
Edit Your List
Managing and making edits to your list is simple. Quickly add new plants, edit plant info (e.g. watering cycle, location) or easily remove a plant from your list if necessary.
Prompt Alerts
Create and set your own alerts when it's time to water your plants and get notifications automatically sent to your mobile device.
Sit Back
When your plants are happy, you will be too! Keeping a steady watering schedule will help your plants live long, healthy lives!

Linux epoll interface to CANopenNode.
The Linux epoll API performs a monitoring multiple file descriptors to see if I/O is possible on any of them.
CANopenNode uses epoll interface to provide an event based mechanism. Epoll waits for multiple different events, such as: interval timer event, notification event, CAN receive event or socket based event for gateway. CANopenNode non-blocking functions are processed after each event.
CANopenNode itself offers functionality for calculation of time, when next interval timer event should trigger the processing. It can also trigger notification events in case of multi-thread operation.
◆ CO_epoll_create()
Create Linux epoll, timerfd and eventfd.
Create and configure multiple Linux notification facilities, which trigger execution of the task. Epoll blocks and monitors multiple file descriptors, timerfd triggers in constant timer intervals and eventfd triggers on external signal.
- Parameters
-
| ep | This object |
| timerInterval_us | Timer interval in microseconds |
- Returns
- CO_ReturnError_t CO_ERROR_NO, CO_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT or CO_ERROR_SYSCALL.
◆ CO_epoll_close()
Close epoll, timerfd and eventfd.
- Parameters
-
◆ CO_epoll_wait()
Wait for an epoll event.
This function blocks until event registered on epoll: timerfd, eventfd, or application specified event. Function also calculates timeDifference_us since last call and prepares timerNext_us.
- Parameters
-
◆ CO_epoll_processLast()
Closing function for an epoll event.
This function must be called after CO_epoll_wait(). Between them should be application specified processing functions, which can check for own events and do own processing. Application may also lower timerNext_us variable. If lowered, then interval timer will be reconfigured and CO_epoll_wait() will be triggered earlier.
- Parameters
-
◆ CO_epoll_initCANopenMain()
Initialization of functions in CANopen reset-communication section.
Configure callbacks for CANopen objects.
- Parameters
-
| ep | This object |
| co | CANopen object |
◆ CO_epoll_processMain()
Process CANopen mainline functions.
This function calls CO_process(). It is non-blocking and should execute cyclically. It should be between CO_epoll_wait() and CO_epoll_processLast() functions.
- Parameters
-
| ep | This object |
| co | CANopen object |
| enableGateway | If true, gateway to external world will be enabled. |
| [out] | reset | Return from CO_process(). |
◆ CO_epoll_processRT()
Process CAN receive and realtime functions.
This function checks epoll for CAN receive event and processes CANopen realtime functions: CO_process_SYNC(), CO_process_RPDO() and CO_process_TPDO(). It is non-blocking and should execute cyclically. It should be between CO_epoll_wait() and CO_epoll_processLast() functions.
Function can be used in the mainline thread or in own realtime thread.
Processing of CANopen realtime functions is protected with CO_LOCK_OD. Also Node-Id must be configured and CANmodule must be in CANnormal for processing.
- Parameters
-
| ep | Pointer to CO_epoll_t object. |
| co | CANopen object |
| realtime | Set to true, if function is called from the own realtime thread, and is executed at short constant interval. |
◆ CO_epoll_createGtw()
Create socket for gateway-ascii command interface and add it to epoll.
Depending on arguments function configures stdio interface or local socket or IP socket.
- Parameters
-
| epGtw | This object |
| epoll_fd | Already configured epoll file descriptor |
| commandInterface | Command interface type from CO_commandInterface_t |
| socketTimeout_ms | Timeout for established socket connection in [ms] |
| localSocketPath | File path, if commandInterface is local socket |
- Returns
- CO_ReturnError_t CO_ERROR_NO, CO_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT or CO_ERROR_SYSCALL.
◆ CO_epoll_closeGtw()
Close gateway-ascii sockets.
- Parameters
-
◆ CO_epoll_initCANopenGtw()
Initialization of gateway functions in CANopen reset-communication section.
- Parameters
-
| epGtw | This object |
| co | CANopen object |
◆ CO_epoll_processGtw()
Process CANopen gateway functions.
This function checks for epoll events and verifies socket connection timeout. It is non-blocking and should execute cyclically. It should be between CO_epoll_wait() and CO_epoll_processLast() functions.
- Parameters
-
| epGtw | This object |
| co | CANopen object |
| ep | Pointer to CO_epoll_t object. |


Our popular item Mrs Gubbins Recommends has been suspended while that dear old crone remains in police custody. Rather than leave readers bereft of exciting links to pursue, we asked her colleague Matilda Choctaw to ghost-write the column on a temporary basis. Here is her first contribution:
“That Mrs Gubbins has a complete mania for buttons. Velcro, zips, and other fastening methods are completely foreign to her. That being the case, and ignoring the fact that she is facing serious criminal charges, I wish to honour her by pointing Hooting Yard readers in the direction of the Buttonarium. Now, where did I leave my crutches?”

NGX Configuration file search order:
Path supplied via __NGX_CONF_FILE
environment variable. Note:
if the application's effective UID/GID does not match its actual
UID/GID (if the SETUID sticky bit is set), the location specified
here will not be searched.
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvidia-ngx-config.json
.
Note: if the application's effective UID/GID does not match its
actual UID/GID (if the SETUID sticky bit is set), the location
specified here will not be searched.
/usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-ngx-config.json
JSON Config Options:
| Key | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
file_format_version |
The version of the config file in the following format
"major.minor.patch". Values should be of type string . |
1.0.0 |
ngx_models_path |
The absolute path to the NGX models directory. The NGX Updater
will save files here to later be read by applications which make
use of NGX functionality. Values should be of type string . |
/usr/share/nvidia/ngx |
allow_ngx_updater |
A boolean value which enables the NGX Updater functionality on
a system, defaulting to false if non-existent. Values should be of
type boolean . |
false |
For systems that have multiple user accounts who may run applications which make use of NGX, it may be preferable to choose a ngx_models_path which is in a shared directory. If a shared directory is chosen it is important that the NGX Updater has permissions to write into it, this can be attained either through use of setuid/setgid sticky bit, or by altering the directories permissions accordingly.

SRCCON 2015 will continue its tradition of fun evening events with lightning talks Thursday night. A lightning talk is a strict 5 minutes (or less) presentation. The topic is open to anything you want — we want to hear about your surprising interests, hobbies, and passions (journalism related or not). Check out the amazing talks from last year for inspiration.
The following is the working list.

Surf in Jeffery's Bay, South Africa
Jeffrey's Bay is one of the world's most amazing waves. Take off at the heavily localised Boneyards section of the wave, connecting through to the Supertubes section down the line to Impossibles, Tubes, Coins and Point before lining up all the way down to the beach break called Albatross.  Supertubes, is a fast full on down the line speed section and the reason you go to J-Bay. Impossibles is exactly as it's named after, impossible. Some have made it through for the mile long run through to the point but it's a rare situation. When looking at eight foot, it is a scary section of wave and is not fun when you get caught in its grips.

WITNESS LIST Civil Practices Committee February 16, 2005-2:00P Committee Update On: Bailey, Charles (Texas Hospital Association) Chamberlain, David (Self and TADC) Choate, Guy (Texas Trial Lawyers Association) Durand, MD, John (Texas Medical Association) Finley, Randall (CHRISTUS Health and Texas Hospital Association) Hecht, Nathan (Supreme Court of Texas) Hull, Mike (TAPA) Montemayor, Jose (Texas Department of Insurance)


[Erowid Warning: Our understanding of the literature is that there is no such thing as safe use of volatile solvents, aerosols and other street inhalants : their psychoactive effects are inseparable from nerve and organ damage. We have chosen to include these reports to help document the real world use of inhalants, but their inclusion is not intended to imply that they are anything but dangerous.]
The substance in this report is called Bostik Wallboard Adhesive and is used to put together special plasterboard panels called GiB. It comes in tubes or sausages which have special preparations for use in glue guns. The glue, which is commonly known as 'arjies', is whitish-yellow in colour and is inhaled through a bag avaliable in the fruit and veges sections of most supermarkets. Other glues are avaliable that produce a buzz but they are usually accompanied by painful and unstable side-effects which make long-term inhalation unrewarding. To highlight this, in comparison with Shelly's glue, or Liquid Nails for example, Bostik 'Gold' is relatively pleasant to inhale whereas the aforementioned glues produce a painful headache and 'siren' noise.
The first noticeable feelings I associate with arjing are a dynamic change in the feelings of my facial muscles, in particular, those around my jaw. I experience a feeling of paralysis which is accompanied by a sense of relaxation surrounding the entire body. This can lead to loss of bodily control which usually amounts in alot of drooling.
I experience euphoria and a sense of invulnerability. I sometimes experience hallucinations and/or OOBEs (out of body experiences). I recall times when I was seriously believing I could cast magic with the aid of the glue. I saw myself fly into space, I looked into the past and the future. I had direct confrontations with demons and the Devil. I thought it was fun for a while until I realised that the only reason I pulled through it all was because God would never let me be taken away by my habit. I would listen to music while I huffed and feel as though I was traveling through space-time via wormholes, directly into the underworld. I would challenge the very gates of hell by refusing to enter. I report this in full truth and am very much confident that what I am saying is accurate.
One night I was sitting on a cliff-top huffing out of a bag while I listened to 50 Cent's 'The Massacre' and stared into the ocean. I felt myself totally removed from the world. I looked a plants and they died in my gaze. I closed my eyes and I felt myself traveling through a tunnel that took me wherever my mind lead. The music would prompt certain feelings or revelations. I felt like I could understand everything. Yet whenever I was on the brink of knowing, I'd lose my control of the buzz and have to go back to working the bag. I was angry at my friend nearby for his interferences. I was seeing things which I thought were memories re-lived, and the lives of other peoples. I saw myself go into places spiritual and indefinable. I eventually felt myself wondering why I was leading this constantly evaporating lifestyle.
My buzz was more intense than I can ever convey, but it wasn't satisfying. I asked God if I could see such things then why couldn't I understand myself. My next buzz saw myself sitting in that exact spot, crying.  I looked up and all the rain around me was being diverted by some divine force of nature as though no cloud could rain on my head. I looked out and caught the sunset in it's last, glorious moments. I fell to my knees and prayed that God would lift me out of my depravity. I prayed there for what felt like hours, and then I walked home. I did huff some more glue after that experience, but I could never again lie to myself about my relationship with Christ.

Reports: Colts RB Mack breaks hand, severity unclear
Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack sustained a fracture in his right hand in Sunday’s victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to multiple reports.
How long Mack will be out reportedly depends on whether or not he needs surgery, which will be determined by tests and meetings with specialists this week. At minimum, he is expected to miss Thursday night’s game at Houston, in a battle for first-place in the AFC South.
Mack hurt the hand in the third quarter and was ruled out for the rest of the game. He rushed for 109 yards on 14 carries before the injury.
Jonathan Williams thrived in relief, rushing for 116 yards on 13 carries, including a 48-yarder. Scatback Nyheim Hines also had a 7-yard touchdown run.
Mack’s 13-yard touchdown run, complete with a spin move, knotted the score at 7-7 with 35 seconds left in the first quarter.
Mack, 23, has 862 rushing yards and four touchdowns this season.

| EVEX.LIG.66.0F38.W1 43 /r VGETEXPSD xmm1 {k1}{z}, xmm2, xmm3/m64{sae} | A | V/V | AVX512F | Convert the biased exponent (bits 62:52) of the low double-precision floating-point value in xmm3/m64 to a DP FP value representing unbiased integer exponent. Stores the result to the low 64-bit of xmm1 under the writemask k1 and merge with the other elements of xmm2. |

Extracts the biased exponent from the normalized DP FP representation of the low qword data element of the source operand (the third operand) as unbiased signed integer value, or convert the denormal representation of input data to unbiased negative integer values. The integer value of the unbiased exponent is converted to double-precision FP value and written to the destination operand (the first operand) as DP FP numbers. Bits (127:64) of the XMM register destination are copied from corresponding bits in the first source operand.
The destination must be a XMM register, the source operand can be a XMM register or a float64 memory location. The low quadword element of the destination operand is conditionally updated with writemask k1.
Each GETEXP operation converts the exponent value into a FP number (permitting input value in denormal representation). Special cases of input values are listed in Table 5-14.
The formula is:
GETEXP(x) = floor(log2(|x|))
Notation floor(x) stands for maximal integer not exceeding real number x.

Disclaimer - I still think Adobe ACR and camera profiles are a decent way of going about the RAW conversion business and that Apple has it's collective head up it's you know what when it comes to NEF processing but...
Being the ever color vigilant - I noticed something about the updates for the latest greatest ACR (supported versions) on some (not all Nikon NEF files). I am going to show you a camera that is near and dear to my heart and one that now seems to be broken - from my earlier testing and memory - it used to work in ACR 4.5, and 5 - The D200.
Let's take a look at three quick and dirty conversions, first up is the gold standard NX2 rendering daylight WB (not as shot) and Picture Control Standard.
Next up is ACR 5 using the same profiles, and daylight WB applied -updated with the latest updates - ooops what happened?
Finally Aperture 3 with my patented D200 NEF presets and my ultra secret sauce daylight WB preset.
Hmmm - looks like my way is now the winner. Maybe I should work on the presets some more like with curves vs the brightness/contrast sliders and start charging like ten bucks ;-)

Very real dangers of lack of sleep explained by scientists
"Oftentimes - like when behind the wheel of a car - these errors can have tragic consequences."
by Neil ShawSomeone who is sleep-deprived is three times more likely to make potentially deadly lapses in concentration, a new study has found.
In one of the largest sleep studies of its kind, researchers from Michigan State University set out to quantify the effect that the lack of sleep has on a person's ability to follow a procedure and maintain attention.
The scientists recruited 138 people to participate in an overnight sleep assessment; 77 stayed awake all night, and 61 went home to sleep.
All participants took two separate cognitive tasks in the evening.
One measured reaction to stimulus, and another assessed a participant's ability to maintain their place in a series of steps without omitting or repeating a step - even after sporadic interruptions.
They then repeated both tasks in the morning, to see how sleep deprivation affected their performance.
Lead author Dr Kimberley Fenn said: "Our research showed that sleep deprivation doubles the odds of making place-keeping errors and triples the number of lapses in attention, which is startling.
"Sleep-deprived individuals need to exercise caution in absolutely everything that they do, and simply can't trust that they won't make costly errors.
"Oftentimes - like when behind the wheel of a car - these errors can have tragic consequences."
By sharing their findings, the researchers hope that people will acknowledge how significantly their abilities are hindered by a lack of sleep.
Co-author Michelle Stepan said: "Our findings debunk a common theory that suggests that attention is the only cognitive function affected by sleep deprivation.
Researcher Ms Stepan said. "Some sleep-deprived people might be able to hold it together under routine tasks, like a doctor taking a patient's vitals.
"But our results suggest that completing an activity that requires following multiple steps, such as a doctor completing a medical procedure, is much riskier under conditions of sleep deprivation.
"After being interrupted there was a 15 per cent error rate in the evening and we saw that the error rate spiked to about 30 per cent for the sleep-deprived group the following morning.
"The rested participants' morning scores were similar to the night before."
Dr Fenn added: "There are some tasks people can do on auto-pilot that may not be affected by a lack of sleep.
"However, sleep deprivation causes widespread deficits across all facets of life."


About Me
My name is Kamal Bin Mustafa, mostly people will just call me Kamal. I am a Malaysian living in the southern State of Johor, near Singapore. Online, I mostly know through my handle k4ml.
I have been a web developer since early 2000 where my first professional experience was in building PHP web applications. We build numerous applications for government agencies such as JKR, KKR, JPN, JPM etc. My next job was with a software agency in Singapore where we build e-commerce websites for our clients using Drupal CMS. Since 2010, I have worked at Xoxzo Inc building web telephony API and managed to grow the company from 2 people into a team of 10 engineers working fully remotely spanning multiple cities from Tokyo to Seoul, Manila, KL, Jakarta, Ufa and Kolkatta. Xoxzo Inc was acquired by a public listed company in Tokyo, Accrete Inc. in 2021.
I'm currently a CTO at LaLoka Labs where we're focusing on our next adventure in building services that can help software developers in making their life easier.
I love writing about technologies especially in software development and also giving talks through various platforms. Among the talks I have presented before:-
- Python/Django Web Development for PHP Developers at Pycon APAC 2012 in Singapore
- Mastering Python Ecosystem at PyconMY 2015
- Contributing to Open Source Project at Malaysia Open Source Conference (MOSCMY) 2016

“When security risks in web services are discovered by independent security researchers who understand the severity of the risk, they often lack the channels to disclose them properly. As a result, security issues may be left unreported. security.txt defines a standard to help organizations define the process for security researchers to disclose security vulnerabilities securely.”
Create a text file called security.txt
under the .well-known
directory of your project.
You are ready to go! Publish your security.txt file. If you want to give security researchers confidence that your security.txt file is authentic, and not planted by an attacker, consider digitally signing the file with an OpenPGP cleartext signature.
The main purpose of security.txt is to help make things easier for companies and security researchers when trying to secure platforms. Thanks to security.txt, security researchers can easily get in touch with companies about security issues.
security.txt is currently an Internet draft that has been submitted for RFC review. This means that security.txt is still in the early stages of development. We welcome contributions from the public: https://github.com/securitytxt/security-txt
For websites, the security.txt file should be placed under the /.well-known/
path (/.well-known/security.txt
) [RFC8615]. It can also be placed in the root directory (/security.txt
) of a website, especially if the /.well-known/
directory cannot be used for technical reasons, or simply as a fallback. The file can be placed in both locations of a website at the same time.
The security.txt file should have an Internet Media Type of text/plain
and must be served over HTTPS.
The email value is an optional field. If you are worried about spam, you can set a URI as the value and link to your security policy.

I was served on the school board in Saguache County in 2012-2014 I ran for Saguache County Commissioner as an independent in 2016. I made small donations to variety of independent and democratic candidates in 2016 and 2020.
USARugby Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Chair.
My advocacy work today is largely at a national/international level, as the DEI Chair for USARUGBY. I advocate for athletes rights at the elite and grass roots level.
This is a crucial time for voting rights and citizen engagement. If fitting, I can contribute in an objective way.
I believe in resolving conflict from a starting place of agreement. Identifying shared values within the group provides a framework through which we can build consensus. I’m a fan of the Harvard Leadership model as it advocated collaboration up, down, across, and beyond traditional hierarchies.
I’ve worked as a user experience architect and have been involved in countless research projects to understand how and why humans interact with their environment. As a coach educator I use competency based rubrics to certify coaches. As a USOPC performance analyst it was my responsibility to help coaches make objective selections through the use of data and analysis. I understand cognitive biases and logical fallacies, and am an advocate for critical thinking skills in action.

Hi, I'm Luke Deen Taylor. I'm a technologically inclined New Paltz High School freshman, I'll be taking AP Computer Science next year. On behalf of myself and a few other students, I'd like to discuss the possibility of installing more computer science-oriented tools on school computers. Specifically, I'd love to see the following things available to students:
-
Installation of an IDE besides Notepad++
Many high school computers have Notepad++ as a code editor installed. While Notepad++ is fine, it's a relatively antiquated text editor, lacking many productivity features found commonly in more modern text editors. Editors like Atom feature code-completion, advanced syntax highlighting, and more out of the box. Atom also has linters available for languages such as JavaScript, which can help prevent mistakes in writing code by identifying them before execution time. I'd love to see Atom installed system-wide in coming years.
-
Installation of other browsers besides Internet Explorer
Keith in the IT department may remember being called by Dr. Weisenthal last year about installing Chrome on school computers. From what I can see, a halfhearted attempt was subsequently made to block its installation by blacklisting the
chrome.google.com
domain. However, Internet Explorer remains an awful, non-standards-compliant browser. It doesn't support many of the features of the modern web. Browsers such as Chrome not only offer a full, standards-compliant implementation of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, but also offer debugging tools far beyond the capabilities of those found in IE. Having Google Chrome installed on school computers would be very helpful (it's not evil). -
Relaxation of computer AUP
The district has a computer acceptable use policy, designed to protect the security of district computers. However, this policy is, in my opinion, unnecessarily restrictive in several places.
The computer use policy has not been modified or updated in several years to reflect how students need to use technology today. At least two of these rules are worded such that they are violated by normal, reasonable computer use. For example, launching Internet Explorer and conducting a Google search explicitly violates the rules stating that users may not:
25. Run or copy executable programs for any drive on any of the district's computers 27. Send messages from one computer to another via the LAN or WAN 9. Complete and/or submit forms found on websites without permission
The act of launching internet explorer involves running an executable program for a drive on a district computer. Furthermore, navigating to any webpage on the internet, by definition, involves sending a message from one computer to another over "the WAN." Lastly, conducting a search involves completing and submitting a form found on a website. In fact, Google's input mechanism explicitly uses a HTML<form>
element:The district's computer policies cannot be expected to be taken seriously when they clearly prevent normal computer use.
In addition to the clear mistakes in the policy, there are several rules that I feel are overly restrictive. For example, rule 24 states:
24. Load software or executable files of any kind onto any of the district's computers or network server
This rule, is, in my opinion, unnecessary. Without access to adminstrator privelages, no programs could be loaded which would inflict actual damage to the computers or the network, at least not without violating the rule:3. Create and/or place a computer virus onto any computer
I think the computer AUP should undergo a much-needed update sometime very soon. -
Basic, non-admin command line access
While Windows is built on top of a graphical interface, familiarity with a basic command-line interface is an essential tool for students hoping to become developers. Currently, placing
cmd
in a.bat
file and double-clicking it displays the message:
this restriction can be easily circumvented by a loop in the batch file:The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator. Press any key to continue . . .
which simply passes user input to the command line, simulating an interactive shell: Allowing non-admin command-line access would be hugely beneficial to students while not actually opening up any new security issues. This addition would not expose new functionality, but rather make information (which is already available) accessible in a much more powerful way.@echo off :loop set /P cmd="> " %cmd% goto :loop
-
Installation of Git
While many computer science students would not take advantage of a version-control system such as git, since it is not a part of the curriculum, such software has enormous potential to transform code workflows.
I'd love to discuss these posibilities. Are there reasons why any of these could or could not be put in place? I'm open to feedback on these ideas.
