Many of the following entries refer to this example data model, which models a list of "servers":
Example 148. The servers YANG model
module servers { namespace "http://www.example.com/ns/servers"; prefix srv; import ietf-inet-types { prefix inet; } import dataTypes { prefix dt; } container servers { list server { key "ip port"; max-elements 64; leaf ip { type inet:ip-address; } leaf port { type inet:port-number; } leaf counters { type dt:countersType; mandatory true; config false; } } } }
AAA stands for authentication, authorization and accounting.
ConfD requires the data model defined by the namespace
http://tail-f.com/ns/aaa/VERSION
to
be loaded. Currently valid values for
VERSION are 1.0 and 1.1. The data found
there is used to authenticate users and authorize access for
users. We usually refer to this namespace as the AAA
namespace.
Accounting refers to the tracking of the consumption of network resources by users. This information may be used for management, planning, billing, or other purposes. Typical information that is gathered in accounting is the identity of the user, the nature of the service delivered, when the service began, and when it ended.
See Also AAA.
See Management Agent.
When compiling a YANG module, it can be annotated with callpoints, actionpoints and validation elements from a separate annotation file. This is useful for example when implementing a standard YANG module, without modifying the original file.
Authentication refers to the confirmation that a user who is requesting services is a valid user of the network services requested. Authentication is accomplished via the presentation of an identity and credentials. Examples of types of credentials are passwords and digital certificates.
See Also AAA.
Authorization refers to the granting of specific types of service (including "no service") to a user, based on authentication, what services they are requesting, and the current system state. Authorization may be based on restrictions, for example time-of-day restrictions, or physical location restrictions, or restrictions against multiple logins by the same user. Authorization determines the nature of the service which is granted to a user.
In ConfD all actions are authorized by reading the
authorization data found in the AAA namespace http://tail-f.com/ns/aaa/version
.
See Also AAA.
See Management Backplane.
The candidate datastore (or just candidate) is one of the three configuration datastores in ConfD. It holds changes to the configuration before they are committed to the running datastore.
CDB is the built-in configuration database provided by ConfD. It is possible to use an external database to store the configuration, or to use CDB, as well as a combination of both.
This is the C API towards CDB. It contains functions to read configuration data, read and write operational data, and subscribe to changes in configuration data.
A program which uses the CDB C API needs to establish CDB
sessions to read configuration data, or read/write
operational data. These are short-lived
sessions that are established through a call to
cdb_start_session()
.
The entire configuration part of CDB is locked for writing while any CDB read session is active.
An upgrade is the operation of adapting an existing configuration to a newer version of the configuration schemas.
Confspec is a Tail-f proprietary data modelling language. YANG is a better standards based technology to achieve the same thing. Confspecs are no longer supported.
A configuration is an instantiated data model. The data model defines the layout of the configuration. An example of a configuration which adheres to the data model in Example 148, “The servers YANG model” is:
<servers> <server> <name>www</name> <ip><IP_ADDRESS></ip> <port>80</port> </server> <server> <name>pop</name> <ip><IP_ADDRESS></ip> <port>110</port> </server> </servers>
The data model also defines "non-configuration" data, also known as statistical or operational data. This data is not part of the configuration.
A daemon is a UNIX process that runs in the background. In the ConfD documentation we refer to the "ConfD daemon" meaning the "confd" process. We also refer to external database processes as daemons. Typically in a deployment scenario, the programs implementing the external database callbacks will run as daemons.
Southbound of ConfD we may have several data providers. These can either be daemons implementing the ConfD "data callbacks" or the ConfD database CDB.
A data provider has the following responsibilities:
Read and return data when ConfD requests data to be read
Write data into its store when ConfD requests it to write data
Obey the two-phase commit protocol used by ConfD when writing data
See Data provider.
When a data model is compiled, it can be exported to selected northbound interfaces, instead of being visible to all.
We may choose to store all configuration data in an external database, or in plain configuration files. From ConfD's point of view, we then have the configuration in an external database and no data is kept in CDB. There can be multiple external databases simultaneously connected to ConfD. It is also possible to use a combination of CDB and external database(s).
The C or Java code which implements an "external database" must adhere strictly to the ConfD transaction protocol. This is done by implementing a specific set of callback C functions. This could be viewed as the equivalent of implementing instrumentation functions in an SNMP agent.
An XML file (with suffix .xml) used for initializing the part of the configuration which is stored in the CDB database.
This is the task of implementing data callback functions for an external database.
A keypath is a string that uniquely identifies a node in a Configuration. A keypath is an (older) alternative syntax for a YANG instance-identifier.
The following are examples of keypaths
/servers/server{www}/port
which uniquely identifies the data element:
<port>80</port>
in the first
server in Configuration.
/servers
which identifies the top level
servers
container element.
A keypath is a path down the XML tree. Which path to
choose down the tree, i.e. which list entry to choose, must be
indicated with a {key}
notation.
The keypath /servers/server{www}/port
is
equivalent to the instance-identifier
/servers/server[name="www"]/port
.
We also have a different notation which is used in
the CDB C API to identify data elements. The CDB C API
contains a function
cdb_num_instances()
which returns an
integer. In Configuration we
had two different servers, thus
cdb_num_instances()
would return 2 and
the keypath /servers/server[1]/port
would
uniquely identify the port
element in the second
server
element. A keypath that uses the
[index] notation in the path is only
valid for the current CDB session.
In the C callback APIs, keypaths in the form of hashed keypaths are represented by the C type confd_hkeypath_t.
A Management Agent, or simply Agent, is a software entity which terminates some management protocol and provides a view of the managed system. The Agents in ConfD are NETCONF, SNMP, CLI, and Web UI, and proprietary agents that utilize the MAAPI API.
This is the layer of software inside ConfD which sits between the northbound agent interfaces and the southbound data providers. The main task of the management backplane is to multiplex and format data between the northbound and the southbound interfaces through transactions.
MAAPI - The Management Agent API - is an API which is used to connect to the ConfD transaction system. ConfD provides MAAPI bindings for C and Java. MAAPI is a northbound interface API which can be used to perform all read and write operations towards ConfD. It is possible to implement any proprietary configuration Agent with MAAPI.
MAAPI is also used to implement CLI wizards and semantic validation of configuration data in C.
Path filters restrict the set of valid elements to a subtree. The value of an element with the type confd:objectRef is a pointer to another element, and the set of elements to which the value is allowed to point can be restricted by specifying a list of path filters, in XPath syntax.
Likewise, the CLI show command can be restricted by a path filter (as a space-separated list of path items).
The running datastore is one of the three configuration datastores in ConfD. It contains the currently active configuration.
A schema defines the structure of data. A schema in ConfD is represented by YANG modules, compiled to a schema file having the file name suffix ".fxs".
See CDB session or User session.
The startup datastore is one of the three configuration datastores in ConfD. It contains a configuration to be read by the device each time it reboots.
Programs communicating with ConfD using one of the APIs can ask to be notified of certain events, by setting up a subscription. Subscription functionality is available in the CDB C API for notification of CDB configuration changes and for the asynchronous events described in the "Notifications" chapter.
A tagpath is a string and it is similar to a keypath with the exception that there are no keys in a tagpath. For example the string /servers/server/mask is a tagpath whereas the string /servers/server{www}/mask is a keypath.
The keypath above uniquely identifies a single instance of a particular mask in a particular server, namely the server named "www", whereas the tagpath above identifies all masks in all servers in the configuration.
By target device, or just "device", we mean the entire embedded box that is being built, such as the physical router if it is a router that is being configured by ConfD.
ConfD implements all writes towards all three possible configuration stores, startup, running and the candidate as two-phase commit transaction.
A configuration may be stored in several databases. We can have some part of the configuration in CDB and other parts in several external databases. A commit operation may span over several databases and we always want to ensure that all participants, i.e., all involved databases are ready to commit. Thus the C API to implement an external database always requires the external database to implement several callback C functions which will be called during the different phases of the transaction.
A transaction is always associated with a corresponding user session.
A transformation is used when we have a data model which we do not want to expose through the northbound Agent interfaces. We hide the undesired data model, and expose another model which then must transform data to and from the hidden model.
A user session corresponds directly to an SSH/SSL session from a management station to ConfD. A user session is associated with such data as the IP address of the management station and the user name of the user who logged in to ConfD, whether through NETCONF, the CLI or the Web UI.
Validation is the process of ensuring the correctness of the input configuration data. Syntactic validation is the first phase and it ensures type correctness and all checks that are possible to express in the YANG model. Semantic validation is the second phase and it requires application specific knowledge. The programmer has to write C or Java code which performs the semantic validation.
The command confdc -x can be used for syntactic validation of initialization files.
XPath is a language for selecting parts of an XML document. ConfD uses XPath (version 1.0) in its full form in NETCONF requests, as well as a very restricted subset to specify path filters in elements of the confd:objectRef type.


“If we analyse the factors of economic production from ancient times to the present, we always find that they essentially consist of certain basic production components, i.e., raw materials, means of production, and a producer. The natural rule of equality requires that each of these components receives a share of this production. Because production cannot be achieved without the essential role of each of these components, it has to be equally divided amongst them. The preponderance of one of them contravenes the natural rule of equality and becomes an encroachment upon the others’ rights. Thus, each must be awarded an equal share, regardless of the number of components in the process of production. If the components are two, each receives half of the production; if three, then one-third.”


Exploring ODE Part II: JACOB Framework
In this blog entry, we will look at the ODE's jacob framework, which is of a library taking care of concurrency processing. ODE use this lib underlying to solve the concurrency problem, ODE has a very good wiki explains about this framework, but here I would like to highlight some concepts and introduce a simple example in the end.
Firstly, I am reusing the wiki page's example. Say we have a following process.
1.invoke
2.receive
3.wait
4.invoke
and we have 2 parallel execution of the process, without Jacob framework the execution would be:
1. Invoke1
2. Receive1
3. Wait1
4. Invoke1
5. Invoke2
6. Receive2
7. Wait2
8. Invoke2
so the above is totally sequentially, no concurrency at all. With the jacob framework, we might see following execution order.
1. Invoke1
5. Invoke2
2. Receive1
3. Wait1
6. Receive2
7. Wait2
4. Invoke1
8. Invoke2
From a client standpoint, we've achieved concurrency of execution even with one thread.
Now, we will see following concepts in jacob:
JacobRunnable, JacobObject
In the wiki page, the JacobRunnable, JacobObject is described as a simple closure. Just like above example shows, here we abstract the action like 'Invoke, Receive' etc as a JacobRunnable object. Personally I also see JacobRunnable as a command pattern, which implements the run method.
Channel
Once we have had the JacobRunnable object, how do we connect JacobObject and ChannelListener? Here is where Channel comes to play, we can see that JacobRunnable as one end of the channel, and ChannelListener as the other end of the channel. The Channel implementation is used JDK's dynamic proxy, you can see it from ChannelFactory.
For every JacobRunnable or ChannelListener, it will take a Channel class in. It is not very useful if have the JacobRunnable without means to communicate.
ChannelListener
In the wiki page, it is referred as MLs (MethodList), but I'd prefer to call it as Listener. With introduction of Channel object, we are able to pass the Channel object into our next activity or child activity, but we need to have a listener mechanism for the parent activity so that once the child activity finished, it is able to get notified and continues the flow.
@ChannelType annotion
In the Jacob, we are using the '@ChannelType' annotation to generate the Channel and ChannelListener interfaces in the compile time.
JacobVPU, ExecutionQueueImpl
As wiki page said, here are the responsibilities of JacboVPU and ExecutionQueueImpl. 1) JacobVPU is the place of Jacob processing. 2) ExecutionQueueImpl is the container for all artifacts (mostly channels and reactions) managed by JacobVPU. 3) JacobVPU is also responsible for persisting its internal state, like serialize or de-serialize the object. 4) Continuations (and hence JacobRunnables) don't "stay" in the VPU queues. They just get popped, executed and that's it.
Now, I will introduce an example that works with Jacob API to accomplish the above example. we are having three JacobObjects(Continuation), they are INVOKE, RECEIVE, WAIT. But for the simplicity purpose, I will just have INVOKE and RECEIVE. Also we will add a channel for their communication, I called it Demo, here is the code for Demo Channel.
@ChannelType
public interface Demo {
public void onSuccess(String successInfo);
public void onFailure(String errorString);
}
as you read from the code, we are having two methods, one for successful case, the other is for failure. use either the maven tool or buildr, you would see the generated classes for this interface, they are DemoChannel and DemoChannelListener.
Next, we will see actions.
static class INVOKE extends JacobRunnable {
private DemoChannel _channel;
public INVOKE(DemoChannel channel) {
_channel = channel;
}
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("INVOKE Activity");
DemoChannel demoChannel2 = newChannel(DemoChannel.class, "demo2");
instance(new RECIEVE(demoChannel2));
object(new DemoChannelListener(demoChannel2) {
public void onSuccess(String successInfo) {
System.out.println(successInfo);
_channel.onSuccess("INVOKE Done...");
}
public void onFailure(String errorString) {
System.out.println(errorString);
}
});
}
}
static class RECIEVE extends JacobRunnable {
private DemoChannel _demoChannel;
public RECIEVE(DemoChannel demoChannel) {
_demoChannel = demoChannel;
}
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("Receive Activity");
_demoChannel.onSuccess("RECEIVE success...");
}
}
For this example, I will add another action to start our process, it is called Process.
static class Process extends JacobRunnable {
@Override
public void run() {
DemoChannel channel = newChannel(DemoChannel.class, "demo");
instance(new INVOKE(channel));
object(new DemoChannelListener(channel) {
public void onSuccess(String successInfo) {
System.out.println(successInfo);
System.out.println("Process Done");
}
public void onFailure(String errorString) {
System.out.println(errorString);
}
});
}
}
We will talk from Process class, basically, we've created a DemoChannel, and then we use 'instance(...)' method to add the 'activity/JacobRunnable' into the queue, use the 'object(....)' to define a listener for that channel. In the INVOKE class, we've created a child activity that is called RECEIVE. Which puts RECEIVE class as part of INVOKE class. I know this is a bad example, it would be much better if I use a composite activity, like While or Sequence, but you know I am just being lazy. ;)
At last, we will use following code to execute this example:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ExecutionQueueImpl soup = new ExecutionQueueImpl(null);
JacobVPU vpu = new JacobVPU(soup, new Process());
while(vpu.execute()) {
}
}
Run this method, you would get following output.
INVOKE Activity
Receive Activity
RECEIVE success...
INVOKE Done...
Process Done
If you want to look at the code by yourself, it lies in the ode-jacob module, it extends the ode-jacob-ap module. Below are some classes that you'd look into. CommSend, CommRecv. Jacob wraps the JacobRunnable as CommSend, wraps the ChannelListener as CommRecv. And then uses the CommGroup to do the match.ExecutionQueueImpl is the container for Continuation, ExecutionObject, Channel etc. In the ExecutionQueueImpl class, you would find couple static classes, like ChannelFrame, MessageFrame... these classes are mostly used for serialized and de-serialized the object.

Google Search now lets you practice pronunciations, adds visuals to definitions
by Abner LiThese days, most people just turn to Google Search for definitions and other word-related queries. Google is now adding an experimental pronunciation feature, while definitions and translations are gaining images when contextually relevant.
You can already play audio and hear words aloud when searching “how to pronounce [X].” Google Search’s new capability lets you practice the pronunciation with your phone’s microphone and receive feedback on “what, if anything, can be adjusted.”
The pronunciation card in Google Search features a new “Practice” button in the bottom-right corner. You’ll be prompted to “Speak now” and Google will return a “Sounds like you said” phonetic respelling. It will offer suggestions on what specific sounds you mispronounced, and “how to improve.”
Behind-the-scenes, Google generated individual soundbites from your sample and leveraged machine learning to “cross references your pronunciation with the pronunciation it expects.” Google Search pronunciation is available today on mobile in American English and is coming soon to Spanish.
For example, if you’re practicing how to say “asterisk,” the speech recognition technology analyzes how you said the word and then, it recognizes that the last soundbite was pronounced “rict” instead of “uhsk.” Based on this, you will receive feedback on how you can improve next time.
Meanwhile, Google is adding visuals to definitions and translations. This additional context is useful for words that have multiple meanings or are not common in all languages.
Since not all words are easily described with an image, we’re starting with nouns and plan to expand from there. Images in the dictionary features will be available in English today and across all language translations.

gpgv - Verify OpenPGP signatures
gpgv
signed_files
gpgv is an OpenPGP signature verification tool.
This program is actually a stripped-down version of gpg which is only able to check signatures. It is somewhat smaller than the fully-blown gpg and uses a different (and simpler) way to check that the public keys used to make the signature are valid. There are no configuration files and only a few options are implemented.
gpgv assumes that all keys in the keyring are trustworthy. That does also mean that it does not check for expired or revoked keys.
By default a keyring named (oqtrustedkeys.gpg(cq is used. This default keyring is assumed to be in the home directory of GnuPG, either the default home directory or the one set by an option or an environment variable. The option --keyring may be used to specify a different keyring or even multiple keyrings.
The program returns 0 if everything is fine, 1 if at least one signature was bad, and other error codes for fatal errors.
gpgv recognizes these options:
--verbose
-v Gives more information during processing. If used twice, the input data is listed in detail.
--quiet
-q Try to be as quiet as possible.
--keyring file Add file to the list of keyrings. If file begins with a tilde and a slash, these are replaced by the HOME directory. If the filename does not contain a slash, it is assumed to be in the home-directory ("~/.gnupg" if --homedir is not used).
--status-fd n Write special status strings to the file descriptor n. See the file DETAILS in the documentation for a listing of them.
--logger-fd \fBn Write log output to file descriptor n and not to stderr.
--ignore-time-conflict GnuPG normally checks that the timestamps associated with keys and signatures have plausible values. However, sometimes a signature seems to be older than the key due to clock problems. This option turns these checks into warnings.
--homedir dir Set the name of the home directory to dir. If this option is not used, the home directory defaults to (oq~/.gnupg(cq. It is only recognized when given on the command line. It also overrides any home directory stated through the environment variable (oqGNUPGHOME(cq or (on Windows systems) by means of the Registry entry HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG:HomeDir.
On Windows systems it is possible to install GnuPG as a portable application. In this case only this command line option is considered, all other ways to set a home directory are ignored.
To install GnuPG as a portable application under Windows, create an empty file name (oqgpgconf.ctl(cq in the same directory as the tool (oqgpgconf.exe(cq. The root of the installation is than that directory; or, if (oqgpgconf.exe(cq has been installed directly below a directory named (oqbin(cq, its parent directory. You also need to make sure that the following directories exist and are writable: (oqROOT/home(cq for the GnuPG home and (oqROOT/var/cache/gnupg(cq for internal cache files.
gpgv \fBpgpfile
gpgv \fBsigfile [\fBdatafile] Verify the signature of the file. The second form is used for detached signatures, where sigfile is the detached signature (either ASCII-armored or binary) and datafile contains the signed data; if datafile is "-" the signed data is expected on stdin; if datafile is not given the name of the file holding the signed data is constructed by cutting off the extension (".asc", ".sig" or ".sign") from sigfile.
~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg The default keyring with the allowed keys.
HOME Used to locate the default home directory.
GNUPGHOME If set directory used instead of "~/.gnupg".
gpg2(1)
The full documentation for this tool is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If GnuPG and the info program are properly installed at your site, the command
info gnupg
should give you access to the complete manual including a menu structure and an index.


T600 Resuscitation?
I originally bought an Ericsson T66 while I was in France – one of the tiniest phones at 59g, only a bit bigger than a Zippo. It subsequently took me through my second (and long) trip to France and back. Eventually I had problems with it and it was replaced under warranty with a T600.
My T600 has been unable to hold a connection lately, apparently this (and a sleeping problem) is pretty common.
Well, here's my fix. I tried to pull it apart, but I don't have any torx screwdrivers. So the only thing left was to prod the compartment which says 'Sony Ericsson' and is on the back, above the battery compartment. If you stick a flathead screwdriver into the depression on panel right above the battery contact, you'll pop off the head part which ends up being the integrated antenna. You just pull the other side out after that.
I didn't do much, scraped the surfaces with my fingers, pushed in the spring-mounted antenna contacts, and put the top part back on. Since then my (old) SFR SIM card has been sitting in the T600 and holding the connection (at least for emergency calls). For hours. Which is much better than it was doing.

{FriendlyId::SlugString} class added, allowing finer-grained control over Unicode friendly_id strings.
-
{FriendlyId::Configuration} class added, offering more flexible/hackable options.
-
FriendlyId now raises subclasses of {FriendlyId::SlugGenerationError} depending on the error context.
-
Simple models now correctly validate friendly_id length.
-
Passing block into FriendlyId deprecated in favor of overriding the model's
normalize_friendly_id
method. -
Updating only the model's scope now also updates the slug.
-
Major refactorings, cleanups and deprecations en route to the 3.0 release.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge revealed
by Staff WriterSuper-luxury SUV gets various design changes including black accents inside and out, new alloys and more; V8 engine now produces 600hp and 900Nm of torque.
Rolls-Royce has revealed a Black Badge version of the Cullinan, giving the super-luxury SUV design changes and a bump in power to justify the badge.
Along with a gloss black coat of paint, the British brand's Spirit of Ecstacy also receives a black accent, for the first time encompassing the mascot’s mounting plate. In addition, the usually chrome front grille surround, side frame finishers, boot handle, boot trim, lower air inlet finisher and exhaust pipes also gain a darker hue. The Black Badge rolls on new 22-inch forged alloy wheels, while the brake callipers are gloss red.
Inside, the Cullinan Black Badge features a headliner woven with fibre optic lights to resemble the night sky – a feature premiered in 2016 on the Wraith. The seats are black leather, while yellow detailing features throughout the cabin.
The powertrain is boosted from the standard Cullinan; the 6.75-litre V12 engine now delivers 600hp and 900Nm, transmitted through an 8-speed automatic gearbox, rather than 571hp and 850Nm. However, Rolls-Royce has yet to release performance or economy figures for the model.
The Cullinan joins the majority of the British brand’s line-up – the Wraith, Ghost and Dawn – that are now available with a Black Badge version, the SUV is the darkest model yet in the family.
Although the company hasn't specified an exact price for the car, it anticipates it being roughly 20 percent more expensive than the standard model on sale in international markets. Customers generally spend more than the base price, however. First deliveries of the car in those markets will begin between the end of 2019 and the start of 2020.
There is no word on if this version of the Cullinan will be brought to India, where the standard model was launched at the end of last year for Rs 6.95 crore (ex-showroom, pan-India).

Eating DisordersAre you constantly thinking about food? Are people concerned that you might be getting too skinny? Is there an ever-decreasing "magic number" in your head which represents your ideal weight, however unrealistic? No matter how many pounds are lost or gained, individuals with body dysmorphic disorders see in their mirrors only fat, depressing failures. As a public service, the Rotten Library is proud to manufacture three fictional, non-celebrity composite characters who can help shed some light on the mysterious inner workings of eating disorders. Please welcome Anna Rexia, Betty Bulimic, and Veronica Vegan. Anna RexiaEating disorder sufferers are psychologically blocked from being comfortable inside their own bodies. Anna, age 12, is neither self-absorbed, nor vain, nor easily influenced by glossy magazine covers. She simply started a diet, enjoyed the feeling of control, and then refused to give it up. Anorexia Nervosa, taken from the Greek word orexe (appetite) is characterized by an ever-decreasing willingness to eat. The causes are a convoluted hybrid of cultural, social, familial, psychological, and biological problems -- none of which can easily be solved without extended therapy or counseling. The vast majority of sufferers are female, and most have at least one emotionally absent parent. In Canada, one out every four girls has some level of eating disorder -- in the United States, it's estimated to be one in three. As the obesity epidemic expands to include nearly every age group, emotional eating arrives just in time to fill the void. According to researchers at the Ramuda Ranch Treatment Center, eating produces a physiological sense of safety, reducing the agitations most commonly associated with anger, distress or anxiety. Blood sugar levels are reduced after a delicious meal, restoring feelings of pleasure and temporarily displacing depression. Anna's pleasure centers, meanwhile, are only tickled by those items from which she's abstained. Her fear of becoming fat grows more irrational with each progressive diet plan. She obsessively counts calories, and dresses in thick, layered garments to hide her weight loss from prying eyes. No matter how emaciated she may appear to others, she's always going to feel more than a little chubby. In response to the extreme chill brought on by drastically reduced fat content, an anorexic's body will kick into overdrive to keep itself warm. Patients often develop lanugo, soft patches of downy peach-fuzz hair on the face, back and arms. Dry, yellow skin is another hallmark of the disease, as well as brittle hair and nails. Twelve year old Elisha Lay of Mildura South Primary School in Australia developed borderline anorexia after her school instituted a weigh-in policy. "After you had your weight taken, all the kids were pressuring you to tell how much you weighed. I felt like people were looking at me like I was a big girl." She stopped eating foods like yogurt and ice cream, and then extended her denial to include glasses of water, which can make anorexics feel bloated. Frances Sanders, chief executive of the Eating Disorders Foundation of Victoria, Canada suggests that weighing in shouldn't be part of any school program: "We've had cases of seven-year-olds being weighed in front of the class, and other children laughing and saying you're fat." -- but sometimes all you can do is laugh. In 2003, rail-thin BBC comedy writer Debbie Barham died of an anorexia-related heart attack at the age of 26. Many of her gags poked fun at sufferers of the disease: "While it might be traditional to have things on sticks at parties, I don't think that's actually meant to be the guests. And anything with fashionable asymmetric shoulders or short sleeves is a definite no-no. Would you like to get rid of those half-gnawed chicken drumsticks dear? Oh, I'm sorry -- they're your upper arms. Cheers." And it's not just for the ladies anymore -- manorexia claims its share of victims every year, with five to fourteen percent of American men deliberately vomiting after every meal. While male actors rarely face scrutiny unless they get fat, Hollywood actresses are regularly criticized for having dangerously unhealthy bodies which set unrealistic goals for young girls. What do Lindsay Lohan, Lara Flynn Boyle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Calista Flockhart, Mary-Kate Olsen, Tracey Gold, Paula Abdul, Justine Bateman, Whitney Houston and Ashlee Simpson all have in common? They're hideous, untalented hags who could each do with a bit of slimming. Say what you want about women suffering from body dysmorphic disorders -- they've more than demonstrated that anorexia can be ano-sexy-a! Unfortunately, it's the most common eating disorder and therefore the least interesting.
Betty BulimicSwiveling our camera 180 degrees across the crowded avenue, we're ready to zoom in on Betty Bulimic, sitting all by her lonesome near La Petite Boulangerie, a modest afternoon snackery where the world's sweetest daydreams are manufactured one almond croissant at a time. Betty loves to eat! Each and every meal comes with a frosty vanilla ice cream shake, a Thanksgiving turkey with all the trimmings, heaping piles of mashed potatoes slathered in fresh country chocolate and a sensible portion of pumpkin cookie-dough ice cream pie for dessert, stuffed with deep-dish meat lovers' pepperoni pizza, thai-wrapped in a triple-thick blueberry gingerbread pancake, garnished with powdered confectioner's sugar, crisscrossed with hearty links of apple-smoked Jimmy Dean sausage and served with a paper cone stacked high with Canadian bacon drizzled in maple syrup. And hey, what's that in her purse? Why it's a big ol' folded-up cloth napkin dripping with beer-battered waffle cut potato wedges and a six pack of emergency corn dogs for later, during her alone time. Oh, Betty Bulimic! You're prepared for any contingency! Dunk me in gold glitter, deep-fry me like a donut and marry me you gorgeous dame.Bulimia Nervosa is a psychological condition, a syndrome first characterized in the early 1980s by a fierce preoccupation with control over one's body weight. The word bulimia is derived from the Greek words bous (ox or bull) and limos (hunger). Nervosa, meanwhile, comes from the French term for psychological unrest, nerveux.  She also has an ongoing preoccupation with binging -- dreamlike, episodic trance states in which large amounts of food are consumed in very short periods of time. Usually the binging takes place in secret: in front of a TiVo'd episode of America's Next Top Model, under the quilted naptime comforter with several pints of Ben & Jerry's Marsha Marsha Marshmallow -- or right there in the parking lot immediately following several trips around the Wendy's drive thru. The foods she devours are almost without exception the "forbidden foods" which nutritionists have universally condemned as fattening.  When bulimia occurs in a diabetic, they may choose to neglect their insulin treatment because too much sugar really adds up. Ironically, the boxes of Popcorn Chicken from KFC, the buttermilk biscuits from Popeye's, and all those mint Double-Stuf™ Oreo cookies are all devoured without enjoyment. Sometimes she can't even taste them at all -- like rape, it's not about sex, just power. Bulimic binge eating is accompanied by severe anxiety and inexorable guilt. As regular as clockwork, the binging "trance" is over as quickly as it begins. What follows are feelings of dread, self-hatred, and inevitable remorse. Because Betty's superfluous overeating has taken place so suddenly -- and on such a massive scale -- she must immediately select Undo from the Fat menu right now, employing the very same secret techniques used by fifteen-year-old high school students around the world. Forced vomiting (purging) is the stimulation of your throat's natural gag reflexes, and it's absolutely guaranteed to diminish the fattening effects of any and all ingested foodstuffs. Common household utensils like wooden spoons, toothbrushes, vibrators and rubbery cutlery handles are all equally viable, but really anything large and mouth-sized can be used to trigger the appropriate sensations. Tie back your ponytail. Brace yourself against the toilet with one arm.  Not too much water, butterball! Insert the tool of your choice into your mouth. Instinctively, your throat will seize up, constricting or clamping shut to prevent the acceptance of a foreign object. It's imperative that you start slowly, easing the object over and behind your tongue, then up against the rear of your soft palette to stimulate the back of your throat.  Get in the zone! The oblong insertion does not end there, however -- you must try and try again to coerce that spatula or croquet mallet down your esophagus, as close to your stomach as possible. Refer to the Blacks on Blondes pornography franchise for a more visual approximation. If you find yourself coughing, choking, spitting, making "gag" noises like a cat or drooling excessively, congratulations: you're doing it correctly! What you vomit out first will likely be long, stringy strands of saliva. If your eyes are watering, chances are you're also gagging up mucus as well. Indeed, it's absolutely normal for first-timers to observe fluids draining from their noses into the toilet. The metallic, sickly tastes in your mouth are stomach acids, and their presence indicates that you're moving in the right direction. Practice will eventually make perfect if you remember Betty Bulimic's number one rule: nobody likes a quitter. Even a single chopstick left over from Sunday morning's Chinese take-out can be the functional equivalent of Harry Potter's magic wand. Expecto Patronum! BLORGLTHFPLTH. Betty, you've never looked more beautiful. With enough dress rehearsals, skilled purgers can "do their business" with impeccable discretion in the school bathroom, at the health club, or around the office. Learning how to vomit quietly in public without any tools at all is widely considered the Holy Grail of Bulimia Nervosa. Tightly-balled fists (preferably your own) with three or four digits extended can be jammed down your throat with surprisingly streamlined results. The vomiting will indeed give you a mild head rush similar to that of a morning cigarette, and produce a tranquilizing effect which serves only to strengthen your resolve. Within a matter of weeks, the simple ritual of kneeling down and looking at the toilet will be all the Pavlovian stimulus you'll ever need, easily enabling you to throw up in just a few seconds without lifting a finger. If you're serious about being popular, that is. Unfortunately, frequent vomiting yields any number of gastric disorders, not the least of which is a raw, torn-up throat, a raspy cigarette voice or permanent laryngitis. Your salivary glands will become red and sore, inflamed from regular exposure to bubbling stomach acids. It's a proven, unavoidable formula: the more you binge and purge, the more agonizing and painful the process becomes. Too much acid in your mouth combined with an overall lack of nutrition means your gums weaken to the point where your teeth fall out. The forced, violent muscle spasms which frequently accompany loud vomiting can rupture your esophagus, leading to severe internal hemorrhaging. When that happens, you drown gurgling not only in blood but all those undigested coconut eclairs. Jeepers, Betty -- there's got to be a better way. Of course there is! Vomiting only rids the body of part of that Three Musketeers bar -- not all of it. In fact, vomiting can make the body more efficient at absorbing and retaining calories, since you're essentially programming yourself to "do more with less". Your body worked hard to transport that $11.99 order of Gnocchi al Pesto into your small intestine, and it's not inclined to go backwards simply because you have an endless laundry list of personal problems. While vomiting may seem to be the most obvious dietary restraint, consider adding to your repertoire some level of laxative abuse. This technique, first and foremost, has a relatively misleading name. Whether or not you "abuse" laxatives is a personal, private matter between you and your God. Over-the-counter stool softeners like Ex-Lax, Correctol, or gentle Doxidan encourage slippery, splushier bowel movements which can relieve constipation by rapidly evacuating the lower intestine. Laxative abuse is particularly popular among gay men. In 2001, citizen David Hurst confessed to the Vancouver Courier that he survived more than a decade of laxatives: "I used Ex-Lax like a magic chocolate bar. It filled my craving for chocolate, but discarded everything else I'd eaten too." Ahem!  For weeks at at time, Hurst would survive on pills, coffee and cigarettes -- often considering the olive in a Martini a sensible dinner. After his partner contracted AIDS, Hurst experienced severe mononucleosis and landed in the hospital, where laxatives are considered a popular prank among feuding nurses! The Kentucky Lexington Herald-Leader reported that in December of 2005, Irvine Health and Rehabilitation Center nursing home attendants Lisa Kilburn and Kim Congleton were accused of feeding unnecessary laxatives to eight patients who didn't need them -- with the intended targets being rival nurses on the very next shift. D'oh! Looks like grandma's pants are mysteriously full again.
Veronica VeganFinally, our saddest personal account of living with an eating disorder comes to us from Veronica Vegan, whose deterioration first began when she was a teenager. Just like that fabled cobblestone road to Hell, her descent into madness was paved with good intentions. Veronica was a high school freshman looking to distinguish herself from the overgrown landscape of gangly, indistinguishable clods passing themselves off as her immediate peer group. She found herself at that tender, impressionable age where overexposure to lukewarm bumper sticker propaganda likening meat to murder is somehow capable of communicating a higher spiritual purpose. Put four AA batteries into your Sony Walkman and sing along: The flesh you so fancifully fry / The meat in your mouth / As you savor the flavor / Of murder. What could Morrisey of The Smiths possibly be singing about if not being kinder to animals? Certainly not anonymous blowjobs in the train stations near Piccadilly Circus or the looming AIDS crisis of working-class Manchester circa 1980. Fascinated by the sheer whimsy of choosing to eat some things but not others, fourteen-year-old Veronica asked her mom for a ride to the public library in order to seek out further enlightenment. What she found in the Young Adult section was nothing short of horrific. Poorly-bound volumes of black and white photographs published by PETA and dated no later than 1974 flew in the face of everything Veronica had ever known. Awkwardly printed pamphlets banged out on cheap typewriters (a font choice she incorrectly assumed to be fashioned after punk rock) all showcased disturbing visuals of what honestly, truly happens to cows, chickens, and pigs as they pass through the slaughterhouse. Oh, what filthy, inexcusable conditions! The flies and the feces! The blood and entrails! The snips and tails and snouts every which way! And human beings eat that slop? Good lord, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves. It's practically the twenty-second century after all! Who even knows which is worse: the risk factors to our health or the fat factors to our expanding waistlines! Hasn't anybody ever heard of disease? Why doesn't the news ever report stuff like this? It never really occurred to Veronica that -- like fine French cheeses or healthy American stem cells -- farm animals are born and bred in isolated captivity for one exclusive purpose, and their thoughts and feelings are of little consequence. The grainy images on cheap Xeroxed paper comfortably insinuated themselves into her eager, receptive adolescent brain right then and there. With a single tear sliding down her face, Veronica vowed never again to eat anything with eyeballs. As easily as she might come out and declare herself a lesbian, Veronica announced to her parents and friends that she was now -- and had always been, and would forever be -- a vegetarian. Orthorexia Nervosa is a fixation on righteous eating, first diagnosed by Colorado physician Dr. Steven Bratman in 1997. The term is derived from the Greek word "ortho" meaning straight and correct, and refers to a psychological syndrome where one's food choices grow progressively narrower over time under the auspices of health. When vegetarians learn there's an even more restrictive diet plan available -- the way of the vegan -- dairy products like milk or cheese, subclasses of poultry products such as eggs, and refined bread ingredients involving yeast or white flour are summarily stricken from their diets as well. Nothing is allowed inside the body of a devout vegan which might be psychologically interpreted as a toxin. Veronica's daily struggle to keep the "poisons" out and remain uncontaminated by the "wrong" food results in a total reliance upon what other vegans are doing to keep themselves alive, since they're the only ones who can ever be trusted. Like an oil painter who arbitrarily refuses to use yellow, a vegan diet is an attempt to gain control over at least one simple aspect of a person's otherwise ordinary life -- a "less is more" aesthetic taken to conceited extremes. Extremes like vegan dog food, completely free of meat or animal derivatives, composed of only organic vegetarian ingredients like soy, peas, carrots, and sunflower oil. Is there nothing a dog loves more than the wild, hearty grains of a rolled oatcake? And woe to the meat-eater who tries dating a vegan -- even for a single evening. Dr. Bratman's treatise on orthorexia cautions that an excessive vegan lifestyle is socially restricting -- eventually coming to rule a person's life to the point where all thoughts and activities revolve around what is and what isn't "allowed". Where people with anorexia and bulimia focus on quantities, people with orthorexia focus obsessively on the psychological qualities, the purities, of their food. The decision to become a vegan has perilous side effects, not the least of which is a near-constant struggle to prepare meals which fool the body into thinking it's getting what it really wants. Veronica forces herself to go through a great deal of labor and preparation just to make her food taste more like meat, with weird-ass spices from around the world sprinkled atop "exotic" (and mandatory) sauces, curries, fungus, Boca burgers, textured vegetable paste, Tofurkey, and other processed blends of soy and gluten. Livejournaled any vegetarian recipes lately?  The universal hallmarks of a long-term vegan diet absent in proteins are pallid gray skin, stringy straw-like hair, knobbled witchy finger knuckles, cracked lips, diminished muscle mass, protruding bones, yellowed teeth, a smug sense of self-satisfaction, and enough lanugo peach fuzz to carpet the moon. In January of 2006, a Miami jury convicted Lamoy and Joseph Andressohn of felony child neglect for enforcing a strict diet of raw fruits, vegetables and wheatgrass. Their baby weighed less than seven pounds when she died of malnourishment, too weak to lift her head or sit without help. In the last three days of her life, she could only roll back her eyes. The autopsy reported that at the time of death, the child had "a grassy odor" and a bloated, distended abdomen. Other children in the Andressohn family never saw a doctor, but received wheat grass enemas in lieu of traditional Western medicine, and testified they were taught that cooked foods were "evil." Shortly after the children were removed from their home by authorities, they discovered a new love for tacos. The mother and father, meanwhile, were ordered to abandon their extreme diet and keep their children on meals approved by a nutritionist. So whatever happened to Anna Rexia, Betty Bulimic and Veronica Vegan? They withered away and died, of course. They collapsed unceremoniously in the privacy of their one bedroom apartments, surrounded by Ex-Lax and cluttered spice racks. Each was eventually carted off in an unmarked county coroner's van to the city morgue. The women lay unclaimed for several weeks before being transported in secret to a rural rendering plant. Each was ground up by large machines, dissolved into slurry, freeze-dried, and scattered into the feed buckets of our nation's chickens, turkeys, cows and pigs. Now let's say grace. |

A simple tool to convert between various forms of representation of GUIDs or UUIDs. Input can be given as either a little-endian integer, hexadecimal or base64-encoded string and all three representations will be given back.
This tool is provided for free for anyone to use and is hosted on Google App Engine, written in Python + Coffeescript and is open source with the code available on Github.
You can download a copy of the conversion tool. If you have Python installed, it's as simple as:
pip install guid-tool
Then you can run the tool, giving the GUID as an argument:
guid-tool 2b88f261-bf4a-4972-90ad-845dac554a06
The tool is also open source with the code available on GitHub.
A simple API is available for anyone to use. For example:
curl -d 'guid=2b88f261-bf4a-4972-90ad-845dac554a06' http://guid-convert.appspot.com/query
Would return the following:
{ "status": "success", "int": "57867872278969410912862791724044732934", "hex": "2b88f261-bf4a-4972-90ad-845dac554a06", "b64": "YfKIK0q/ckmQrYRdrFVKBg==" }
You can generate a new GUID via:
curl -d '' http://guid-convert.appspot.com/new
Which returns something like:
{ "status": "success", "guid": "2b88f261-bf4a-4972-90ad-845dac554a06" }


parseurl
Parse a URL with memoization.
Install
This is a Node.js module available through the
npm registry. Installation is done using the
npm install
command:
$ npm install parseurl
API
var parseurl = require('parseurl')
parseurl(req)
Parse the URL of the given request object (looks at the req.url
property)
and return the result. The result is the same as url.parse
in Node.js core.
Calling this function multiple times on the same req
where req.url
does
not change will return a cached parsed object, rather than parsing again.
parseurl.original(req)
Parse the original URL of the given request object and return the result.
This works by trying to parse req.originalUrl
if it is a string, otherwise
parses req.url
. The result is the same as url.parse
in Node.js core.
Calling this function multiple times on the same req
where req.originalUrl
does not change will return a cached parsed object, rather than parsing again.

Hi :)
My name is Adrienn Szabó. I’m something between a software engineer and a researcher.
I like dealing with a lot of data, especially with biology-related or social media-related data.
I work at a CS research institute in Hungary, called MTA SZTAKI.
In my free time I like reading, wandering around in forests, and climbing trees.
If you’re interested in my interests, maybe folow me on Twitter or GitHub or LinkedIn.
You can also drop me an email, my address is “-ador-” at “proton-mail” plus “.ch”, but leave out all the dashes :)


I am a paragraph. Some of the words have been wrapped in a span element.
I am a paragraph. A short one.
I am another paragraph. Also a short one.

I am a very simple card. I am good at containing small bits of information. I am convenient because I require little markup to use effectively.


Looks at expected and actual expression being of Java 8 Optional type and whether the statement effectively tries to assert the
presence, absence or content and then replaces the statement by isPresent(), isNotPresent(), contains(), or containsSame().


We share music in a way people can connect with. Our shows are interactive, educational, and most of all, enjoyable. Also pairs well with beer.
We perform in spaces that allow listeners to connect with our music--like restaurants, breweries, concert halls, and schools. Original arrangements, standard brass quintet music, and more. Think Queen, Berlioz, Michael Jackson, Gabrieli.
Need a band for your next event? Weddings, gala dinners, fundraisers, graduations and more.
We perform and teach masterclasses in schools and universities. Students of all ages love Michael Jackson when played on tuba.

This website was produced mainly by Hruy Tsegaye — with some help from Ben Goertzel and George Papadakis.
Hruy is one of the rising young writers in Ethiopia, centrally concerned with topics like rational thinking and finding the best philosophical approach to Humanity’s intrinsic nature. He began his professional career in Afar, as a Program Officer for a governmental agency called HIV AIDS Prevention and Control Office (HAPCO). Hruy strongly believes that technology is the only tool that can transform Africa to the status where one can proudly say “I am from Africa”!
In 2013, Hruy joined iCog Labs, a pioneer company in East Africa engaged in the business of R&D of AI and Robotics. After two years of researching, he launched an initiative called iCog Makers. iCog Makers is all about creating a platform for African Makers and since the concept of emerging technologies and makers is in its infancy stage [in Africa] his project aims to achieve the goal via public universities. Right now, the initiative has more than 28 partner universities from Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Kenya.
Hruy has also been publishing several articles focusing on AI and emerging technologies. His articles are published in both languages; Amharic, Ethiopia’s official language and English. His Amharic articles are mostly for local newspapers and magazines within Ethiopia while his articles in English are available online on Hplus Magazine, Medium, and on iCog Labs website.


About me
From the age of ten I was captivated by prototype sports cars, especially Le Mans. I had mechanic for a father and quickly gained skills in electronics. My youth was spent in sheds and on farms - making things, breaking things or finding out how things worked.
After completing year 12, I got a job restoring MGs with some very wise, old-school mechanics. They taught me as much about taking pride in my work and attention to detail as they taught me about the nuts and bolts. I developed skills in business management and team leadership.
An apprenticeship as a mechanic with the Motor Traders Association gave me a well-rounded experience of the automotive industry. I received professional training and was exposed to small service stations, dealerships, mobile mechanics and one-make specialists.
During my time as an apprentice I took an unpaid after-hours job with Ford Motorsport. Guided by two mechanics, I managed the construction and competition of a car that won its class in the Nation Rally Championships. Jump forward 10 years and I was living in the United Kingdom working across Europe as a race mechanic - on the Le Mans cars I saw as a child!
What this means for you
Opportunities have led me to work on a huge variety of both electrical and mechanical equipment including freight trains, boats, farm machinery, industrial computers and mining equipment to name a few. In more recent years I have been employed to oversee and coordinate large projects, like the installation of electronic communication equipment, mobile data, tracking, satellite phones and radios in ambulances.
Many years in many industries, being attentive and a genuine fascination in the technical world has given me confidence, creativity, resourcefulness and the ability to make decisions under pressure. I take 25 years knowledge and experience to work each day, along with the ability to understand customers needs and help them reach their requirements in the most efficient manner.

Renault to have CEO shortlist soon but not in rush: Sueddeutsche Zeitung
FRANKFURT: Renault will soon have a shortlist of candidates for chief executive officer but there is no rush, the French carmaker's chairman told a German newspaper.
"If we select a person by the end of the year, all the better. If not, it's not a bad thing," Jean-Dominique Senard was quoted as saying in an interview with the Seuddeutsche Zeitung published on Sunday.
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Sunday that the search was ongoing for a new CEO for Renault after the arrest of Carlos Ghosn and that he favored selecting a professional from the automobile sector.

Turn a CSS color into its smallest representation.
With npm do:
npm install colormin --save
var colormin = require('colormin');
console.log(colormin('rgba(255, 0, 0, 1)'));
// => 'red'
colormin works for rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla, hex & css color keywords. See more example output in the tests. Note that colormin does not convert invalid CSS colors, as it is not a color validator.
Type: string
The color to minify.
Type: boolean
Default: false
Set this to true
to enable IE < 10 compatibility; the browser chokes on the
transparent
keyword, so in this mode the conversion from rgba(0,0,0,0)
is turned off.
Pull requests are welcome. If you add functionality, then please add unit tests to cover it.
