1. Determine what this Javascript code will print out (without running it):
x = 1;
var a = 5;
var b = 10;
var c = function(a, b, c) {
document.write(x);
document.write(a);
var f = function(a, b, c) {
b = a;
document.write(b);
b = c;
var x = 5;
}
f(a,b,c);
document.write(b);
var x = 10;
}
c(8,9,10);
document.write(b);
document.write(x);
}
Answer:
undefined 8 8 9 10 1
2. Define Global Scope and Local Scope in Javascript.
Answer:GLOBAL SCOPE:
- Before you write a line of JavaScript, you are
in the Global Scope. If we declare a variable,
it is defined globally:
// global scope
var name = 'Todd';
- You will run into no issues with global scope
problems (usually namespace clashes) if you
control your scopes properly.
- Global Scope is needed to access functions
defined in other files (such as jQuery
functions).
LOCAL SCOPE:
- There is one global scope, and each function
defined has its own (nested) local scope.
- If we define a function and create variables
inside it, those variables are locally scoped:
// Scope A: Global scope out here var
myFunction = function () {
// Scope B: Local scope in here
};
- Any locally scoped items are not visible in the
global scope.
3. Consider the following structure of Javascript code:
// Scope A
function XFunc () {
// Scope B
function YFunc () {
// Scope C
};
};
(a) Do statements in Scope A have access to variables defined in Scope B and C?
Answer:
- No, because B and C are local scoped variables.
(b) Do statements in Scope B have access to variables defined in Scope A?
Answer:
- Yes, because A belongs to global scope in this case.
(c) Do statements in Scope B have access to variables defined in Scope C?
Answer:
- No, for B , Scope 'C' is not visible.
(d) Do statements in Scope C have access to variables defined in Scope A?
Answer:
- Yes, Global scope is visible even in sub functions.
(e) Do statements in Scope C have access to variables defined in Scope B?
Answer:
- Yes, Scope B, is visible in C.
4. What will be printed by the following (answer without running it)?
var x = 9;
function myFunction() {
return x * x;
}
document.write(myFunction());
x = 5;
document.write(myFunction());
Answer:
81 25
5.
var foo = 1;
function bar() {
if (!foo) {
var foo = 10;
}
alert(foo);
}
bar();
What will the alert print out? (Answer without running the code. Remember hoisting.)?
Answer:
10
6. Consider the following definition of an add( ) function to increment a counter variable:
var add = (function () {
var counter = 0;
return function () {
return counter += 1;
}
})();
Modify the above module to define a count object with two methods: add( ) and reset( ). The count.add( ) method
adds one to the counter (as above). The count.reset( ) method sets the counter to 0.
7. In the definition of add( ) shown in question 6, identify the "free" variable. In the context of a function closure,
what is a "free" variable?
Answer:
- 'counter' in this case is a free variable.
As it is defined outside of internal methods.
8. The add( ) function defined in question 6 always adds 1 to the counter each time it is called. Write a definition
of a function make_adder(inc), whose return value is an add function with increment value inc (instead of 1). Here
is an example of using this function:
add5 = make_adder(5);
add5( ); add5( ); add5( ); // final counter value is 15
add7 = make_adder(7);
add7( ); add7( ); add7( ); // final counter value is 21
Answer:
var count = (function (inc) {
var counter = inc;
return {
add:function () {
counter += inc;
return counter;
},
reset:function(){counter=inc;}
};
});
var testCount = count(5);
testCount.add();//increment 5 at each call
9. Suppose you are given a file of Javascript code containing a list of many function and variable declarations. All of
these function and variable names will be added to the Global Javascript namespace. What simple modification to
the Javascript file can remove all the names from the Global namespace?3
Answer:
- Following block of code will remove all the names from
the Global namespace.
var globalVar = (function(){
//TODO : Place Your Existing Java Script here
});
10. Using the Revealing Module Pattern, write a Javascript definition of a Module that creates an Employee Object
with the following fields and methods:
Private Field: name
Private Field: age
Private Field: salary
Public Method: setAge(newAge)
Public Method: setSalary(newSalary)
Public Method: setName(newName)
Private Method: getAge( )
Private Method: getSalary( )
Private Method: getName( )
Public Method: increaseSalary(percentage) // uses private getSalary( )
Public Method: incrementAge( ) // uses private getAge( )
Answer:
var employee = (function(){
var name='Abdul';
var age=34;
var salary=10000;
var getAge = function(){return age;};
var getSalary = function(){return salary;};
var getName = function(){return name;};
var setAge = function(newAge){age=newAge;};
var setSalary:function(newSalary){salary=newSalary;},
var setName = function(newName){name=newName};
var increaseSalary=function(percentage){ salary +=((getSalary()*percentage)/100);};
var incrementAge = function(){ age =getAge()++;};
return {
setAge:setAge,
setSalary:setSalary,
setName:setName,
increaseSalary:increaseSalary,
incrementAge:incrementAge
};
})();
11. Rewrite your answer to Question 10 using the Anonymous Object Literal Return Pattern.
Answer:
var employee = (function(){
var name='Abdul';
var age=34;
var salary=10000;
var getAge = function(){return age;},
var getSalary = function(){return salary;},
var getName = function(){return name;},
return {
setAge:function(newAge){age=newAge;},
setSalary:function(newSalary){salary=newSalary;},
setName:function(newName){name=newName},
increaseSalary:function(percentage){ salary +=((getSalary()*percentage)/100);},
incrementAge:function(){ age =getAge()++;}
};
})();
12. Rewrite your answer to Question 10 using the Stacked Locally Scoped Object Literal Pattern.
Answer:
var employee = (function(){
var name='Abdul';
var age=34;
var salary=10000;
var getAge = function(){return age;},
var getSalary = function(){return salary;},
var getName = function(){return name;},
var emp = {
setAge:function(newAge){age=newAge;},
setSalary:function(newSalary){salary=newSalary;},
setName:function(newName){name=newName},
increaseSalary:function(percentage){ salary +=((getSalary()*percentage)/100);},
incrementAge:function(){ age =getAge()++;}
};
return emp;
})();
13. Write a few Javascript instructions to extend the Module of Question 10 to have a public address field and
public methods setAddress(newAddress) and getAddress( ).
Answer:
var employee = (function(){
var name='Abdul';
var age=34;
var salary=10000;
var getAge = function(){return age;};
var getSalary = function(){return salary;};
var getName = function(){return name;};
var setAge = function(newAge){age=newAge;};
var setSalary:function(newSalary){salary=newSalary;},
var setName = function(newName){name=newName};
var increaseSalary=function(percentage){ salary +=((getSalary()*percentage)/100);};
var incrementAge = function(){ age =getAge()++;};
var address = '1000 N 4th Street';
var getAddress = function(){return address;},
var setAddress = function(newAddress){address=newAddress;}
return {
setAge:setAge,
setSalary:setSalary,
setName:setName,
increaseSalary:increaseSalary,
incrementAge:incrementAge,
address:address,
getAddress:getAddress,
setAddress:setAddress
};
})();

A buffer is an area that covers a given distance from a point, line, or area feature.
Buffers are typically used to create areas that can be further analyzed using other tools. For example, if the question is "What buildings are within one mile of the school?", the answer can be found by creating a one-mile buffer around the school and overlaying the buffer with the layer containing building footprints. The end result is a layer of those buildings within one mile of the school.
The point, line or area features to be buffered.
In addition to choosing a layer from your map, you can select Browse Layers found at the bottom of the drop-down list to browse your contents for a big data file share dataset or feature layer.
There are three different ways you can specify the size of the buffer for your input features. You can buffer using a:
You can choose to use a Planar method or a Geodesic method. The Planar method may be faster, and is appropriate for local analysis on projected data. The Geodesic method is appropriate for large areas, and any geographic coordinate system.
You may optionally dissolve your attributes. If you choose to dissolve all attributes or dissolve on a field you will be given the option of creating multipart or single part outputs. Dissolving aggregates features using the specified fields.
You can allow for multipart features. Single part features are the default.
You can calculate statistics about attributes of numeric fields of the input layer such as:
You can calculate statistics about attributes of string fields of the input layer, such as:
This is a temporary parameter for the Pre-Release to set the data store that results are saved to. Both data stores are part of ArcGIS Data Store. If you select the spatiotemporal data store, and do not have one installed the tool will fail.
This is the name of the layer that will be created in My Content and added to the map. The default name is based on the tool name and the input layer name. If the layer already exists the tool run will fail.
Using the Save result in drop-down box, you can specify the name of a folder in My Content where the result will be saved.

Vincent and Thomas are not really friends, but they have a connection in that Vincent's father Arnold (who left the family years ago) saved Thomas' life in an accident that left him an orphan as an infant. When Vincent finds out that his father has died in Arizona, miles away from the reservation in Idaho, Thomas offers to give Vincent the money he needs to make the trip to recover Arnold's possessions on the condition that he accompany Vincent. The nerdy Thomas and the tough Vincent
This is a film that I wanted to like more than I did. The overall theme is rather moving, and it is expressed quite well in the voice-over narration in the final scene. However, in many places the film seems forced. When a film chooses to present extreme situations to make a point, rather than using subtlety, it is not making the audience feel for the characters, but rather it is telling the audience what to feel for the characters. It is easier to write melodrama than drama. Also adding to the forced feeling is the rather stiff acting. I was often left feeling that I was watching actors rather than associating with characters.
Despite its weaknesses, this is still an enjoyable film. It does showcase many aspects of the modern American Indian experience. One example is the presentation of oral storytelling tradition. The stories that several characters tell play pivotal roles, and what is interesting about them is that what is considered "truth" in the narrative. Instead of being a accurate portrayal of events as they actually happened, they often have a more symbolic meaning. Since this is billed as the first film to be written, directed, and co-produced by a Native American, one feels comfortable that one is learning about that subculture rather than being presented with the usual, often distorted, image.
Moderately Recommended.

England to play Italy in friendly at Wembley in March
England will play a friendly against Italy at Wembley in March as part of their preparations for Euro 2020.
Italy are ranked 13th in the world, nine places below England, and finished qualification for the European Championships with a 100% record.
The meeting on Friday 27 March will be the first of four friendlies for Gareth Southgate's side ahead of the Euros.
England also play Denmark at Wembley on 31 March, Austria in Vienna on 2 June and Romania at home on 7 June.
The Italy fixture will also be designated as 'The Heads Up International' in support of the Football Association's partnership with The Duke of Cambridge's Heads Together mental health initiative.
It will be the 28th meeting between England and four-time World Cup winners Italy, with the most recent a 1-1 draw at Wembley in 2018.
The Azzurri are managed by former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini.

All you have to do is copy the information to the blanks.
Here is the applet with all the blanks filled in. With skillful use of the text editor, much of this filling in is fairly easily done using "copy" and "paste."
import java.applet.Applet; import java.awt.*; // assume that the drawing area is 350 by 250 public class HouseRectangles extends Applet { final int width = 350, height = 250; final int houseX = 65, houseY = 100, houseW = 110, houseH = 110 ; final int doorX = 120, doorY = 165, doorW = 25, doorH = 40 ; final int lWindX = 90, lWindY = 115, lWindW = 30, lWindH = 30 ; final int rWindX = 130, rWindY = 115, rWindW = 30, rWindH = 30 ; final int trunkX = 255, trunkY = 100, trunkW = 10, trunkH = 100 ; public void paint ( Graphics gr ) { gr.setColor( Color.orange ); // there is no Color brown gr.drawRect( houseX , houseY , houseW, houseH); // house gr.drawRect( doorX , doorY , doorW , doorH ); // door gr.drawRect( lWindX , lWindY , lWindW, lWindH); // lwind gr.drawRect( rWindX , rWindY , rWindW, rWindH); // rwind gr.fillRect( trunkX , trunkY , trunkW, trunkH); // trunk } }
Here is the beautiful picture that it produces:
The tree trunk is a solid rectangle because the method fillRect()
was used.
This method is just like drawRect()
except that it fills
in the figure with the current color.
The door is not really where we want it.
We could go back to the graph paper and be more careful this time,
or use the easy method.


A guard is a class with the @Guard()
decorator. The guard should implements the CanActivate
interface.
Guards have a single responsibility. They determine whether a request should be handled by the route handler or not.
Until now, the access restriction logic was mostly inside middlewares.
It's still fine since things such as token validation or attaching properties to the req
object are not strongly connected with a particular routes.
But Middleware is dumb. It doesn't know which handler should be executed after calling the next()
function.
On the other hand, Guards have access to the ExecutionContext
object, so we know exactly what's going to be evaluated.
Hint Guards are executed after every middleware, but before pipes.
One of the best guards use-cases is the role-based authentication because specific routes should only be available when the caller has sufficient permissions (e.g. admin
role).
That's why we're gonna create a RolesGuard
, this guard permits access only to users with a specific role.
{{ rolesGuard }}
{{ rolesGuardJs }}
Every guard provides a canActivate()
function. The guard might return its boolean answer synchronously or asynchronously via a (Promise
or Observable
).
The returned value controls the Nest behavior:
true
, the request will be handled by the route handler.false
, Nest will return a Forbidden response and a 403
status code.
The canActivate()
function takes 2 arguments. The first one is dataOrRequest
. This value of it depends on where you actually have used the guard.
When it's a HTTP request, this variable is a native expressjs request object, otherwise, it's the data passed to the micro service / or web socket.
The second argument is a context
. This object fulfils ExecutionContext
interface and contains 2 members - parent
and handler
.
The parent
holds the type of the Controller
class, which the handler
belongs to. The handler
is a reference to the route handler function.
Hint SincecanActivate()
method can return aPromise
, it can be marked as async.
The guards can be controller-scoped, method-scoped and global-scoped. To set up the guard, we're using a @UseGuards()
decorator. This decorator can take an endless number of arguments.
{{ useGuards }}
Notice The@UseGuards()
decorator is imported from the@nestjs/common
package.
The construction above attaches the guard to every handler declared by this controller. If we'd decide to restrict only one of them, we just need to set up the guard at method level.
To bind the global guard, we're using the useGlobalGuards()
method of the Nest application instance:
{{ globalGuard }}
The guard is working now, but we're still not taking advantage of the most important guard features, being the execution context.
Now, the RolesGuard
isn't reusable. How would we know which roles need to be processed by the handler?
The CatsController
could have a lot of them. Some might be available only for admin, some for everyone.
That's why along with the guards, Nest provides the ability to attach custom metadata through @ReflectMetadata()
decorator.
{{ reflectMetadata }}
{{ reflectMetadataJs }}
Notice The@ReflectMetadata()
decorator is imported from the@nestjs/common
package.
With the construction above, we attached the roles
metadata to the create()
method.
It's not a good practice to use @ReflectMetadata()
directly. Instead, you should always create your own decorators.
{{ rolesDecorator }}
{{ rolesDecoratorJs }}
This way is much cleaner. Since we've a @Roles()
decorator now, we can use it with on the create()
method.
{{ catsRolesDecorator }}
{{ catsRolesDecoratorJs }}
That's it. Let's focus on the RolesGuard
again. Now, it simply returns true
immediately, allowing request to proceed.
To reflect the metadata, we'll use the Reflector
helper class, which is provided out of the box within @nestjs/core
.
{{ rolesGuardExt }}
{{ rolesGuardExtJs }}
Notice Guards act the same as controllers, components, interceptors and middleware they can inject dependencies through the constructor.
Hint In the node.js world, it's a common practice to attach the authorized user to thereq
object. That's why we've assumed thatreq.user
contains the user object.
The Reflector
allows us to easily reflect the metadata by the specified key. In example above, we reflected the handler
because it's a reference to the route handler function.
We could make this guard even more generic if we'd add also the controller reflection part.
To extract controller metadata, we're just using parent
instead of handler
function.
{{ controllerMetadata }}
{{ controllerMetadataJs }}
Now, when the user would try to call the /cats
POST endpoint without enough privileges, Nest will automatically
return response below:
{{ forbidden }}
In fact, the guard which returns false
forces Nest to throw a HttpException
.
This exception can be caught by the exception filter.
To change the default access refusal response, just throw a HttpException
instead of returning a false
value.
The global guards don't belong to any scope. They live outside modules, thus as a result - they can't inject dependencies.
We need to create an instance immediately. But quite often, global guards depend on other objects, for example, we'd
love to authenticate request using
AuthService
, but this service is a part of the
AuthModule
. How do we solve this?
The solution is pretty easy. Each Nest application instance is in fact, a created Nest context. The Nest context is a wrapper around the Nest container, which holds all instantiated classes. We can grab any existing instance from within any imported module directly using the application object.
Let's assume that we have a
AuthGuard
registered in the
AuthModule
. This
AuthModule
is imported into the
root module. We can pick the
AuthGuard
instance using following syntax:
{{ getAuthGuard }}
To grab the AuthGuard
instance we have to use 2 methods, well-described in the table below:
get()
|
Makes it possible to retrieve the instance of the component or controller available inside the processed module. |
select()
|
Allows you to navigate through the module tree, for example, to pull out a specific instance from the selected module. |
Hint The root module is selected by default. To select any other module, you need to go through the entire modules stack (step by step).

Work Log
A fork in the road
Written on the 2nd of April 2019 by Maddie
What to do?
I have been looking at the code and playing with the client since yesterday and I realized something. I have a serious navigation issue. (I probably have more issues than this one but this is what is bugging me the most at the moment).
The thing is that I am quite unsure how to fix it because I don't really know what I want in terms of the UI. However, a decision must be made and a solution must be implemented. Since I am not that satisfied with the look and function of my current UI, I might suggest to myself that I try-out a total or partial UI redesign. This would allow me to address all the things currently wrong with the clients UI and it would give the client a fresh new look. The main reason why I'm holding on this solution is the fact that I am not a UI designer. I worry that despite my good intentions, I will just make things worse.
I am brainstorming other ideas too. Hopefully, it will come to me soon. I really don't enjoy feeling stuck.
An Update! When life gets in the way..
Written on the 1st of April 2019 by Maddie
What Happened
Well, it has been a while. I am not proud of this but I have not worked on this project in the last weeks. I have some excuses such as I got a bad cold at the beginning of March and then I was too busy with school. But whatever the excuse, I still feel bad about it. So instead of feeling crappy, I decided to pick up the work again. That is my update.
Reflection On Week 2
Written on the 2nd of March 2019 by Maddie
What Worked
- The API and the Angular client are in working condition!
- I implemented the CRUD for the words.
- I configured babel.js and it seems to work as intended.
- I did some research and I have chosen let as the variable types for my dependencies.
- I have been coding consistently this week and it felt quite nice (except for the times spend fixing bugs.)
- I discovered a resource detailing the best practices for Node.js development and I plan to restructure/ refactor / change my API project to conform to these best practices as much as possible.
What Didn't Work
- I tried to build the APIs documentation using Swagger but it did not work.
- I added some more functionalities to the API that I think I need/ want and now the code looks messy.
- I have been reconsidering my decision to put the client and the api in the same repository - not sure if it is a good practice.
- I still suffer because of lack of knowledge and time but hopefully I will get better with practice.
Current Issues
- Both the API and the client require proper TESTING which I need to add!
- The API still has no documentation.
- Messy code in the API
- Might need to remodel my Mongodb schema for words so it's more suited for my current needs.
Possible Solutions
- Do lots of research on how to use Swagger with my project
- Organize and restructure my API code using advice from the Node best practices
- Look up and implement tests!
Next Week's Plan
- Work on implementing my possible solutions
- Saturday - write the next work log entry!
Reflection On Week 1
Written on the 22nd of February 2019 by Maddie
What Worked
- Finally started the Language Learning Application project (again);
- The work for this project so far has been consistent and motivating;
- Wrote some project documentation and gained a pretty clear idea of what I want to build;
- Built the LLA3 API and currently it is in a working condition (good enough for my future
Angular client);
- Had the pleasant experience of working again with Node, Express and MongoDB;
- Testing the API using Postman - such a useful tool!
What Didn't Work
- Stressed for time - it has been a struggle for find enough time to work;
- Unsure of some of the code that I wrote - either because it could be written better or because there might be a better way to make it do the same thing;
- My Git commits - should have committed more often so there would not be such huge differences between the versions;
- API Error - sending invalid JSON through the HTTP request triggers a 500 error so I need to fix that;
- Lack of knowledge - I discovered that I need to refresh my knowledge about certain topics.
Current Issues
- The variable type of my dependencies in app.js and in the other api files - Deciding between let, var and const.
- Should I use babel.js - ECMAScript 5 vs ECMAScript 6 Browser Compatibility Concerns
- API Future Improvements
- API Documentation would be nice;
- Based on the current app-tree diagram I might need to create one or two more endpoints to retrieve the exact data that I want to display on the frontend, for example all the languages / categories for a language for all the words in the database;
- Validation and sanitization for the incoming HTTP requests, for example checking that the data I receive is in a correct JSON format;
Possible Solutions
- Plan and manage your time better!
- Look up some developer best practices and stick to a code standard!
- Be more mindful of your commits!
- Do more testing!
- Don't forget to document everything because you WILL forget!
Next Week's Plan
- Start work on the Angular client (yay!);
- Try to add the necessary improvements to the API;
- Friday - write the next work log entry!

I’ve been diving into Google+ a little bit more lately, and this is stemming from some of the experimenting I did yesterday, when I posted how to record a Google+ Hangout with higher quality audio for podcasting or other interview-type things (great language, I know).
That led to a discussion last night with Lisa Nielson, who was trying to schedule a Hangout On Air for a discussion happening the following night. So, I did some research, and we messed around with Google Hangouts for a few minutes and found a solution. I decided to post everything I found on managing that Hangout here. So, I submit to you: how to manage Google Hangouts On Air so people can actually find the broadcast when it begins. I’m going to outline three possible solutions, and you can take your pick.
Please note that while I tested these sitting at my desk, they have not been tested in the wild, and you should do some testing before your event to make sure you’ve got everything ready to go.
The Dedicated Page
The easiest way to help people find your broadcast is to create a page on your blog where you embed the video stream. When you are prepping the broadcast, there is an embed code in the window. You can grab this code and update the link on your blog before you actually click “Start broadcast.” It will display a “Broadcast starting soon” placeholder until you actually begin the hangout. It’s a lightweight option, and you’ll need to remember to update the link, but it’ll be easy for your audience to find each time you run a show.
YouTube Live URL
YouTube and Google are peas in a pod, with a lot bleeding over into the other. Hangouts are the same. When you run an On Air Hangout, YouTube will automatically record and archive the video in your channel so people can go back and check it out if they miss the live broadcast. But, there are a couple things you need to do first in order to get that to work. Rather than reposting it, here is a Google+ thread with all of the setup that needs to happen in order to get Hangouts On Air to work properly. It isn’t as much as it sounds like, but it’s a good idea to check to make sure you’re not stung at the end.
Okay, back to how YouTube makes this easy. Once your account is verified and your channel linked to your Google+ profile, you can grab a super-awesome new URL that will always be the live stream in the future. I learned this from ReelSEO’s channel, and you can take a look at the video if you want to see the whole process. In short, share the following URL with your audience for any On Air broadcast:
http://www.youtube.com/user/USERNAME/live
Obviously, replace the USERNAME
with your username. So, mine would be http://www.youtube.com/bennettscience/live
for any On Air broadcast. When you’re not live, viewers will be redirected to your YouTube channel.
Why should you do this rather than embedding a link on your blog? One word: Backchannel. YouTube’s interface includes a comment box to one side where your audience can discuss the broadcast. Engagement is always a good thing.
The Event
The third, and most circuitous (but most robust) way to plan a Hangout in advance is to use a Google Event. This is the method I’m least familiar with, and honestly the workflow is a pain right now (even Google admits it), but it is powerful if you can get a system worked out. I think this would work well in conjunction with either the YouTube URL or the blog post embed.
So, if its confusing, why use Events? A couple reasons. Events link to your Calendar, so management becomes very easy. They’re also listed on your Google+ page. So, if you have subscribers connected there, they’ll see it in their stream. They can also RSVP right through the Google+ stream, so you can begin engaging before the show. It will also send a calendar reminder to people who have RSVP’d, so you’ll have a higher attendance rate (in theory.) All of that is great, but it’s the actual implementation of the show that could use some improvement.
I pulled the tips from this Google community thread, and I suggest taking a look at it. In short, here’s what you would do:
Click on Advanced, and then Show More Options. You can then add a URL to your in the **website URL** field. If you try to add the link in the YouTube URL field, it’ll return an error. Thanks to Elayne Whitfield for pointing this problem out in the comments.
So, I like Events, but the workflow to actually begin the Hangout from the Event isn’t there. Again, the Events workflow is documented well in the [community thread](http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-plus-discuss/N_W2X7Jaj44), so take a look there for more discussion.

LNDIR(1) LNDIR(1) NAME lndir - create a shadow directory of symbolic links to another directory tree SYNOPSIS lndir [ -silent ] [ -ignorelinks ] [ -withrevinfo ] fromdir [ todir ] DESCRIPTION The lndir program makes a shadow copy todir of a directory tree fromdir, except that the shadow is not populated with real files but instead with symbolic links pointing at the real files in the fromdir directory tree. This is usually useful for maintaining source code for different machine architectures. You create a shadow directory containing links to the real source, which you will have usually mounted from a remote machine. You can build in the shadow tree, and the object files will be in the shadow directory, while the source files in the shadow directory are just symlinks to the real files. This scheme has the advantage that if you update the source, you need not propagate the change to the other architectures by hand, since all source in all shadow directories are symlinks to the real thing: just cd to the shadow directory and recompile away. The todir argument is optional and defaults to the current directory. The fromdir argument may be relative (e.g., ../src) and is relative to todir (not the current directory). Note that BitKeeper, CVS, CVS.adm, .git, .hg, RCS, SCCS, and .svn direc‐ tories are shadowed only if the -withrevinfo flag is specified. Files with names ending in ~ are never shadowed. If you add files, simply run lndir again. New files will be silently added. Old files will be checked that they have the correct link. Deleting files is a more painful problem; the symlinks will just point into never never land. If a file in fromdir is a symbolic link, lndir will make the same link in todir rather than making a link back to the (symbolic link) entry in fromdir. The -ignorelinks flag changes this behavior. OPTIONS -silent Normally lndir outputs the name of each subdirectory as it descends into it. The -silent option suppresses these status mes‐ sages. -ignorelinks Causes the program to not treat symbolic links in fromdir spe‐ cially. The link created in todir will point back to the corre‐ sponding (symbolic link) file in fromdir. If the link is to a directory, this is almost certainly the wrong thing. This option exists mostly to emulate the behavior the C version of lndir had in X11R6. Its use is not recommended. -withrevinfo Causes any source control manager subdirectories (those named Bit‐ Keeper, CVS, CVS.adm, .git, .hg, RCS, SCCS, or .svn) to be treated as any other directory, rather than ignored. DIAGNOSTICS The program displays the name of each subdirectory it enters, followed by a colon. The -silent option suppresses these messages. A warning message is displayed if the symbolic link cannot be created. The usual problem is that a regular file of the same name already exists. If the link already exists but doesn't point to the correct file, the program prints the link name and the location where it does point. SEE ALSO ln(1). X Version 11 lndir 1.0.3 LNDIR(1)

Is there a version of this build that uses lots of monk levels? I can't seem to find one anywhere.
-Pendragon
2 questions first
Do you want a level 40 build, or a build that gets construct shape early?
A level 40 build.
I am looking for a build to use in a 40th level area.
-Pendragon
Well, something like druid 5 shifter 11 monk 24 then would probly work ok.
Start as a druid at level 1 with a wisdom of 17, and achieve a 4/16 split by level 20 in druid/monk levels, remember to take alertness as a pre epic feat. At lv 21 take a final druid level then take 10 shifter levels, having put all stat increases into wisdom and taking a couple or 3 great wisdom feats you should qualify for construct shape at level 33. Then proceede with taking monk levels up to level 40, perhaps taking a final late druid level to max spellcraft.
The version I just made as a quick test had a con of 20 as well, giving the Iron golem form some 620 hitpoints, coupled with the wisdom of 28 and 40 ranks in tumble, the naked shift to iron golem had an AC of 46 and SR of 34, not too bad as a tank I suppose.
Hey Mike,
I will test put that to paper and then try it out later.
If you get on what was the ab of that build when shifted?
-Pendragon
Well, I made a rough version and the AB at lv 40 with no items in Iron Golem form was 36/33/30/27/24.
I've played around with some shifter builds but they all end up with a terrible ab (in relative terms) the server I play on I can hardly hit anything because everyone has 20 DR and 70 AC or something like that.
also I think 10 shifter is enough for such a build so you'd be able to get an extra monk bonus feat going Druid 5/Shifter 10/Monk 25.
You need to be an epic shifter to take construct shape.
I know for Undead shape 10 levels is enough even though it says epic is required.

Automated Characterization of Health Information at Large-scale Longitudinal Evidence Systems (ACHILLES)—descriptive statistics and data quality checks on an OMOP CDM v5 databases
Achilles consists of several parts:
Precomputations (for database characterization)
Achilles Heel for data quality
Export feature for AchillesWeb (or, Atlas Data Sources can read the Achilles tables directly)
Index generation for better performance with Atlas Data Sources
Achilles is actively being developed for CDM v5.x only.
(Please review the Achilles Wiki for specific details for Linux)
Make sure you have your data in the OMOP CDM v5.x format (https://github.com/OHDSI/CommonDataModel).
This package makes use of rJava. Make sure that you have Java installed. If you don’t have Java already installed on your computer (on most computers it already is installed), go to java.com to get the latest version. If you are having trouble with rJava, this Stack Overflow post may assist you when you begin troubleshooting.
In R, use the following commands to install Achilles.
if (!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
# To install the master branch
devtools::install_github("OHDSI/Achilles")
# To install latest release (if master branch contains a bug for you)
# devtools::install_github("OHDSI/Achilles@*release")
# To avoid Java 32 vs 64 issues
# devtools::install_github("OHDSI/Achilles", args="--no-multiarch")
To run the Achilles analysis, first determine if you’d like to run the function in multi-threaded mode or in single-threaded mode. Use runCostAnalysis = FALSE
to save on execution time, as cost analyses tend to run long.
In multi-threaded mode
The analyses are run in multiple SQL sessions, which can be set using the numThreads
setting and setting scratchDatabaseSchema to something other than #
. For example, 10 threads means 10 independent SQL sessions. Intermediate results are written to scratch tables before finally being combined into the final results tables. Scratch tables are permanent tables; you can either choose to have Achilles drop these tables (dropScratchTables = TRUE
) or you can drop them at a later time (dropScratchTables = FALSE
). Dropping the scratch tables can add time to the full execution. If desired, you can set your own custom prefix for all Achilles analysis scratch tables (tempAchillesPrefix) and/or for all Achilles Heel scratch tables (tempHeelPrefix).
In single-threaded mode
The analyses are run in one SQL session and all intermediate results are written to temp tables before finally being combined into the final results tables. Temp tables are dropped once the package is finished running. Single-threaded mode can be invoked by either setting numThreads = 1
or scratchDatabaseSchema = "#"
.
Use the following commands in R:
library(Achilles)

The "cdm5_inst"
cdmDatabaseSchema parameter, "results"
resultsDatabaseSchema parameter, and "scratch"
scratchDatabaseSchema parameter are the fully qualified names of the schemas holding the CDM data, targeted for result writing, and holding the intermediate scratch tables, respectively. See the DatabaseConnector package for details on settings the connection details for your database, for example by typing
?createConnectionDetails
Execution of all Achilles pre-computations may take a long time, particularly in single-threaded mode and with COST analyses enabled. See <extras/notes.md> file to find out how some analyses can be excluded to make the execution faster (excluding cost pre-computations)
The SQL platforms supported by DatabaseConnector and SqlRender are the only ones supported here in Achilles as dbms
. cdmVersion
can be ONLY 5.x (please look at prior commit history for v4 support).
To use AchillesWeb to explore the Achilles statistics, you must first export the statistics to a folder JSON files, which can optionally be compressed into one gzipped file for easier transportability.
exportToJson(connectionDetails,
cdmDatabaseSchema = "cdm5_inst",
resultsDatabaseSchema = "results",
outputPath = "c:/myPath/AchillesExport",
compressIntoOneFile = TRUE) # creates gzipped file of all JSON files
To run only Achilles Heel (component of Achilles), use the following command:
achillesHeel(connectionDetails,
cdmDatabaseSchema = "cdm5_inst",
resultsDatabaseSchema = "results",
scratchDatabaseSchema = "scratch",
numThreads = 10, # multi-threaded mode
cdmVersion = "5.3.0")
To optimize Atlas cache during achilles execution, use the following command:
achilles(connectionDetails,
cdmDatabaseSchema = "cdm5_inst",
resultsDatabaseSchema="results",
vocabDatabaseSchema = "vocab",
numThreads = 1,
sourceName = "My Source Name",
cdmVersion = "5.3.0",
runHeel = TRUE,
optimizeAtlasCache = TRUE) # creates additional table to store results for Atlas cache
To run only optimization of Atlas cache, use the following command:
optimizeAtlasCache(connectionDetails,
resultsDatabaseSchema="results",
vocabDatabaseSchema = "dbo")
Possible optional additional steps:
r fetchAchillesHeelResults(connectionDetails,resultsDatabaseSchema)
r fetchAchillesAnalysisResults(connectionDetails,resultsDatabaseSchema,analysisId = 2)
getAnalysisDetails()
.r read.csv(system.file("csv","derived_analysis_details",package="Achilles"),as.is=T)
r read.csv(system.file("csv","achilles_rule.csv",package="Achilles"),as.is=T)
Please refer to the README-developers.md file.
This is an alternative method for running Achilles that does not require R and Java installations, using a Docker container instead.
Install Docker and Docker Compose.
Clone this repository with git (git clone https://github.com/OHDSI/Achilles.git
) and make it your working directory (cd Achilles
).
Copy env_vars.sample
to env_vars
and fill in the variable definitions. The ACHILLES_DB_URI
should be formatted as <dbms>://<username>:<password>@<host>/<schema>
.
Copy docker-compose.yml.sample
to docker-compose.yml
and fill in the data output directory.
Build the docker image with docker-compose build
.
Run Achilles in the background with docker-compose run -d achilles
.
 For example, a harmonized set of data quality terms has been published by Khan at al. in 2016.
What Achilles calls an analysis (a pre-computation for a given dataset), the term used by DQC would be measure.
Some Heel Rules take advantage of derived measures. A feature of Heel introduced since version 1.4. A derived measure is a result of an SQL query that takes Achilles analyses as input. It is simply a different view of the precomputations that has some advantage to be materialized. The logic for computing a derived measures can be viewed in the Heel SQL files in /inst/sql/sql_server/heels
, which are described further in the Developers README file.
Overview of derived measures can be seen in CSV file here.
For possible future flexible setting of Achilles Heel rule thresholds, some Heel rules are split into two phase approach. First, a derived measure is computed and the result is stored in a separate table ACHILLES_RESULTS_DERIVED
.  A link between which rules use which pre-computation is available in CSV file here (previously was in inst/csv/achilles_rule.csv
) (see column linked_measure
).
Rules are classified into CDM conformance
rules and DQ
rules - see column rule_type
in the CSV file here.
Some Heel rules can be generalized to non-OMOP datasets. Other rules are dependant on OMOP concept ids and a translation of the code to other CDMs would be needed (for example rule with rule_id
of 29
uses OMOP specific concept;concept 195075).
Rules that have in their name a prefix [GeneralPopulationOnly]
are applicable to datasets that represent a general population. Once metadata for this parameter is implemented by OHDSI, their execution can be limited to such datasets. In the meantime, users should ignore output of rules that are meant for general population if their dataset is not of that type.
Rules are classified into: error, warning and notification (see column severity
).


The WriteExcel package uses formatted strings as the primary way of passing information to the support methods which interpret the strings and issue the necessary POI method calls.
This utility is used in the examples of the PSEC Utility Package. Consequently this distribution zip contains classes belonging to the package com.psec.util that are used by that interface. They are not required to use the com.psec.excel package.
WriteExcel
creates a workbook using a simple API. One or more
Area
class instances are used to specify the portion of a Sheet to populate and with what.
In addition, an existing Workbook can be used as a template source so that sheets can be copied and then left intact, modified and/or supplemented.
The creation of Workbooks containing charts is supported by using an existing Workbook as a template that contains one or more charts and using WriteExcel to modify the data that the chart refers to.
The following sample program demonstrates the ease of writing a sheet such as this sales report.
Note: HelloExcelNHN extends WriteExcel so that Area can be referred to without the WriteExcel prefix.
package com.psec.run; import com.psec.excel.WriteExcel; public class HelloExcelNHN extends WriteExcel { public static void log(String msg) {System.out.println(msg);} public static Exception e(String s) {return new Exception(s); } WriteExcel wrtExcel; // ---------------------- Mainline ---------------------- public void run(String[] args) throws Exception { log("HelloExcel writing "+args[0]); wrtExcel = WriteExcel.create(this,args[0]); wrtExcel.setNegativeFormat(true,""); writeSalesSheet(); wrtExcel.close(); wrtExcel = null; log("HelloExcel completed writing "+args[0]); } private void writeSalesSheet() throws Exception { String sheet = "sample-sales"; Area area = wrtExcel.createArea(sheet,1,1) .header("{4.#title}Sample Sales Report") .header("") .header("Month/Unit Sales/Avg. Price/Revenue","#hdrBlue"); String[] months = "January/February/March/April/May/June/July/August/September/October/November/December".split("/"); double[] prices = new double[]{10.01,11.02,15.03 ,9.04,10.05,17.06 ,22.07,23.08,14.09 ,12.10,13.11,18.12}; int[] sales = new int[]{15,61,88 ,23,-3,54 ,67,53,21 ,13,23,33}; int[] qtr = new int[]{0,0,1 ,0,0,2 ,0,0,3 ,0,0,4}; int qtrSales = 0; double qtrRev = 0.0; int totSales = 0; double totRev = 0.0; for(int i=0,iMax=12; i < iMax; i++) { area.addRow(String.format("{:R}%s/%d/%.2f/%.2f",months[i],sales[i],prices[i],prices[i] * sales[i]).split("/"),i+1); qtrSales += sales[i]; qtrRev += prices[i] * sales[i]; totSales += sales[i]; totRev += prices[i] * sales[i]; if (qtr[i] != 0) { area.addRow(String.format("{:Rb}Q%d/%d/%.2f/%.2f",qtr[i],qtrSales,qtrRev / qtrSales,qtrRev).split("/"),"#qtr"); qtrSales = 0; qtrRev = 0.0; } } area.addRow(new String[0]); area.addRow(String.format("{:Rb}TOTAL/%d/%.2f/%.2f",totSales,totRev / totSales,totRev).split("/"),"#TOT"); area.writeArea().colWidth(-1,3).addDataFilterLine(); } public static void main(String[] args) { try { HelloExcelNHN helloExcel = new HelloExcelNHN(); helloExcel.run(args); } catch (Exception e) { log("HelloExcel Croaked:"+e); } } }

Internally, WriteExcel is written using Hungarian Notation. Press HUNGARIAN to view the above example rewritten in Hungarian notation. It produces the same results.
ReadExcel
class used to read an existing Excel Workbook and convert the cells into an array of Java objects.
The reading routines contain methods to specify the data scope and the column filters to apply.
The objects thus created can be passed to other processing routines (including routines that employ WriteExcel
);
WriteExcel
inspects the data being written to a cell and classifies it as a string,
integer or number. Numbers are further classified as to how many decimal points there are and the appropriate internal style flag of nm1, num, nm3
or nm4
is applied. This classification is used to populate the cell with the correct CellStyle format. Furthermore, by default, integers and numbers are aligned to the right of a cell.
Numbers and integers will be shown in red when they are negative if method setNegativeFormat is called once before the first call to createArea
Other cell attributes such as font size, weight or color are specified using a simple syntax described in the CellStyle orders section.
If a cell style specification populates only the background color its use will will be merged with the primary cell style to produce a cell that is highlighted with a certain color. The resultant combination of CellStyle objects is managed to minimize the number of CellStyle objects stored in the Workbook.
The orders are:
| Order | Effect |
|---|---|
b | bold font |
i | italic font |
s | strike through font |
u | underline font |
nn | Font size in points where nn is an integer |
f | fixed font |
l | Mark as link (blue, underlined) |
- | Total. Single-line top border |
~ | Sub-Total. Double-line top border |
= | Final Total. Double-line top, bottom border |
C | Center text alignment |
L | Left text alignment |
R | Right text alignment |
T | Top vertical alignment |
M | Middle vertical alignment |
B | Bottom vertical alignment |
FG(r,g,b) | Font color specified as RGB r, g and b integers |
BG(r,g,b) | Background color specified as RGB r, g and b integers. When the only order, style will be combined with other styles as the Cell is created. |
FF(name) | Font family name |
CE(str) | Call custom exit. Used to add custom style attributes not covered by these orders. The str can contain a mix of alphanumeric characters as well as the - or _ characters.The str value will be passed to customExit.
|
Note RGB colors can also be specified as the strings defined in the
POI IndexedColor Enum.
The specified strings are folded to uppercase and the - character replaced by the _ character. For example dark-green
is equivalent to DARK_GREEN
.
{[n][.]([:format]|[fmt-name])}
n
specifies the number of columns to merge. Used mostly in headings. By defualt, merged cells are centered..
required as a separator if both the merge and format are specified.:format
apply the anonymous format where the string following the : is one or more CellStyle orders.fmt-name
use the named format that was added with the
addStyleDefn
method
Examples
{:bC}
- anonymous, Bold and center cell
{3.#tot}
- merge 3 cells and apply the #tot builtin style
{4}
- merge 4 cells, center
The ones marked generic
are combined with the current set of Generic Types.
The ones marked BG color
are capable of adding a background to a Cell when used as a Row Specifier as described in
Choosing a Cell Style.
| Name | Type | Orders | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
#sub | generic | - | Subtotal |
#tot | generic | ~ | Total |
#fin | generic | = | Final Total |
#lnk | generic | l | Link |
#lkc | generic | lC | Centered link |
#evn | BG color | BG(245,255,245) | Even stripe |
#odd | BG color | BG(245,245,255) | Odd stripe |
#qtr | BG color | BG(255,200,145) | Quarter line BG color |
#TOT | BG color | BG(255,168,80) | Total line BG color |
#hdr | string | bC | Centered bold header |
#hdrBlue | string | bCBG(pale-blue) | Pale-Blue centered bold header |
#title | string | b16C | Large font title line |
Data Formats can be added using the See addDataFormat method.
The built-in generic types are:
| Name | Format | Pattern |
|---|---|---|
@int | 0 | ^[0-9]+$ |
@nm1 | 0.0 | ^[0-9][.][0-9]{1}$ |
@num | 0.00 | ^[0-9][.][0-9]{2}$ |
@nm3 | 0.000 | ^[0-9][.][0-9]{3}$ |
@nm4 | 0.0000 | ^[0-9][.][0-9]{4}$ |
@str | null | catch all |
More than one Area can be specified for each Sheet but they should not overlap each other.
The exception to the overlapping restriction above is the use of cells that are merged. Provided the Area with the overlapping merge order is written last it can overlap into previously written Areas. This functionality is most commonly used in top of page headings.
The Area specifies the Sheet name (which is created if it does not exist when the Area is written). It also specified the base row and column. All references to the row or column index with an Area are relative to base 0.
The getBaseRow
and
getBaseCol
methods will add the bias in calculating the absolute position of the row or column on the sheet.

Application layer
init ( sourceBaseUrl, sourceToken, sourceNetwork = network )
Initialises the token and challenge. Where token is optional. If the token is absent then by default the library is being used in the browser.
The library is currently written so that it can use either Ethereum or Aethernity key pair.
login ( keyPair )
Attemps to log in with the provided key pair. The function returns a newly created token.
loginWithChallengeParams ( challenge, keyPair )
Loggs in with a corresponded challenge code. The function is designed to be used on a mobile device. The challenge is represented as a QR code.
store ( fileObj, userChainId, userChainIdPubKey )
Upon execution of the function the following things happen. The file is being encrypted on the client side prior to which uploaded to the server. The server records info on the blockchain. The server returns the status code and receipt.
decrypt ( userId, dataChainId, keyPair )
Browser renders the docId as QR code and the user's device scans the QR. User device requests decryption info from server. After getting the decrypted password, it encrypts it again and sends it to the server.
Returns the data for the file + encrypted password.
prepare ( dataChainId, userChainId )
The browser creates a temporary key pair and submits a temporary public key. This key is used to decrypt the password coming from the mobile device. It expects document ID and the user's one for which the document is available.
poll ( credentialsResponse, receiverPubKey )
This function asks the server if there is a file shared with the user, so that it can fetch them. When the file becomes available (decrypted with the password provided by the mobile device) it is returned to the client as a result.
open ( dataChainId, userChainId, keyPair )
Takes the user's credentials and scans for the requested file. If the user has permission (owns the file, or it has been shared to them) and the ile exists, then it is being decrypted and returned to the user.
return
Example where the payload has the contents of the file.
validate ( fileContents, userId, dataId )
Given the contents of the file this function checks the hashed record on the blockchain and returns the file hash, the user ID. Returns STATUS ERROR if the validation fails.
selectFiles ( selectionType, files, recipients )
This function is for the user to select several files which they want to manage (open/share) at a time. The result of this function is used in getSelected to retrieve the list of files and users. Files and recepients are arrays. For each file ID corresponds a recepient ID. Using these two arrays one can design relations of the type M:M.
For example 3 files shared with 5 recepients.
returns
qrCode is a sha3/keccak256 hash containing the information
getSelected ( selectionHash )
Takes the selection hash and returns the list of files and recepients (userIDs).
share ( dataId, recipientId, keyPair )
Takes a document ID, a recipient ID and the sender's key pair. Decrypts the document password and then re-encrypts it with recipient's public key, so that they can access it via their private key.
registerHash ( dataChainId, requestType, targetUserId, keyPair, poll = false )
A function that registers the hash of a file directly on the blockchain.
verifyHash ( docChainId, userId )
Checks whether the hash is valid.
prepareSelection ( selection, keyPair )
Takes the selection hash, retrieves the list of files and users and submits for each file the public key used for the exchange of password.
sign ( dataId, recipientId, keyPair )
Takes the dataID of the file and put a stamp (including timestamp) on it. By doing this the signer validates the presented information.
execSelection ( selection, keyPair )
On the basis of the first parameter provided it will execute 'bo:' Browser Open, 'mo:' Mobile Open 'sh:' Share or 'sg:' Sign on each file that is belonging to the selection.

(Originally published on OUBS Blog)

In this book structure refers to the boundaries of the organisation and the ways the activities inside are co-ordinated. Systems are about information types and flows. Burns and Stalker (1961) describe two possibly systems: mechanistic and organismic.

structural components, contingencies and configurations

This is based on Henry Mintzberg’s article "The structuring of organisations".

Mintzberg’s six ideal structural types:

  	 Simple Structure	 Machine bureaucracy	 Professional bureaucracy	 Divisionalised form	 Adhocracy	 Missionary

 Key part	 Strategic apex	 Technostructure	 Operating core	 Middle line	 Support staff	 Ideology

 Co-ordinating mechanism	 Direct supervision	 Standardisation of work processes	 Standardisation of skills	 Standardisation of outputs	 Mutual adjustment	 Standardisation of norms

 Dominant pull to:	 Centralise	 Standardise	 Professionalise	 Balkanise	 Collaborate	 Evangelise

 Decentralisation	 None (centralised)	 Limited horizontal	 Horizontal	 Limited vertical	 Selective horizontal and vertical	 Full decentralisation

 Planning and control	 Little	 Action planning	 Little	 Much performance control	 Limited action planning	 Little

 Liason deviced	 Few	 Few	 In administration	 Few	 Many throughout	 Few

 Typical examples	 Small owner-manager firms undertaking simple activities	 Fast food chains, airlines, telephone banking	 Hospitals, colleges, law firms	 Large conglomerates	 Creative advertising agencies, bespoke software boutiques	 Kibbutz, Revolutionary movements

Mintzberg argues that "organisations can select their situations in accordance with their structural designs just as much as they can select their designs in accordance with their situations."

Strategy and Systems

When Daft and Macintosh (1984) studied 86 firms, the same six sub-systems apeared most often for the formulation of strategy: - strategic plans - long rang plans (5 years +) - annual operating budgets - periodic statistical reports - performance appraisal - policies and procedures

Band and Sanlan (1995) identified some more: - structural devices like audits - MIS - budget and profit planning processes - HR management arrangements - R&D programmes - work practices and norms - explicit organisational values - use of external instruments (e.g. benchmarks)

Remember that the information requirements are different from a hierarchical company to an adhocracy and telecommunications often made location less important.

As a control system for middle management, feedback is the most simply, comparing things to a standard and triggering action at variances. Problems are that there is a log between strategy formulation and feedback, feedback is vulnerable to poor specifications, misunderstanding and the feedback mechanism is sometimes designed too simple, e.g. only based on profitability.

Band and Scanlan (1995) suggest "feedforward" control: - premise control (are our premises correct?) - implementation control (are things happening as thought?) - strategic surveillance (monitor threatening events) - special alert control (scan for low-probability events)

A more comprehensive approach comes from Simons (1995), using both feedback and feedforward integrating corporate culture. - Belief systems provide core values that are guiding for business strategy - Boundary systems show risks to be avoided - Diagnostic control systems (e.g. budgets) show critical performance variables - Interactive control systems (stimulate search and learning) show strategic uncertainties and allow for challenging assumptions

Strategy, Structure and Systems

You should try to put structure and systems together to form a competitive advantage, a long term one. This will be a changing progression of different strategies, structures and systems, put together by Greiner in 1972.

(Phase, evolution stages - revolution stages, check Table 4.1) Phase 1. Growth through creativity leads to crisis of leadership Phase 2. Growth through direction leads to crisis of autonomy Phase 3. Growth through delegation leads to crisis of control Phase 4. Growth through co-ordination leads to crisis of red tape Phase 5. Growth through collaboration leaders to Crisis of ?

Miller (1986) tried to show the close fit between strategy and structure: The theme we wish to pursue here is that there are ties that unite strategy and structure; that given a particular strategy there are only a limited number of suitable structures and vice versa.

Structural change brings a process of organisational innovation, which can as of Chandler (1977) either be an adaptive response or a creative innovation going beyond the existing practices. A Competitive advantage also comes from being different though and hence, after the multidivisional structure had become the norm by the 1970s, firms having adopted it stopped to have superior performance by the 1970s.

Innovation in structures are always emerging. Some reasons are: - erosion of advantage through immitation of old ones - impact of new IT - competitive pressure for flexibility and low prices - rapid race for competitive innovation - competitive focus on time as a source of competitive advantage - growing importance of knowledge based assets

Galbraith and Lawler (1993) identified some new functional structures in organizations: - modified function unit with fewer levels and less functions for faster response - lateral unit with cross function teams - superfunctions unit grouped arround core processes e.g. product generation at HP includes R&D, manufacturing and purchasing - front-end/back-end hybrid (front around customer, end around products with lateral integration) - network organization (seperate companies integrated through a network) - function specialist (single function within informal network)

A closer look at those follow.

Transaction cost economics (TCE, Book 4) are used to identify whether to make or buy. An entire organization can be viewed as a system of exchange transactions. Information asymmetry (somebody has different info than somebody else) leads to transaction costs related to incomplete or missing information. This can be: - search costs - contracting or negotiation costs - transaction control, regulation and audit costs - maintenance costs to develp the contract or transaction

Based on this belief, the hierarchy was established to overcome imperfections in otherwise efficient markets. Changes in information technology has led to more efficient markets enabling: - modified function unit uses IT to speed up information flow - the superfunction unit re-aligns structures with key processes (based on customer needs) - perfect markets can come from better access to information

These are just examples where information technology led to different flows of information enabling radical rethinking of structures

Network technologies also enable new ways of working with transactions now being conducted through markets, hierarchies and teams.

A lateral unit is a cross-functionl team-based organization like a team of specialists interacting through e-mail, groupware and open databases. The front-end/back-end hybrid requires effective integration of two different structurs with different integration needs to bring a good product or service.

Network organizations require a lead partner to integrate the network and function specialists simply rely on their specialist skills which are needed for a number of different informal networks.

Army, Navy, IAF special forces deployed in Kashmir to hunt terrorists
The troops include the Army's Para (Special Forces), Navy's Marine Commandos (MARCOS) and Indian Air Force's Garud have been deployed in the Kashmir Valley.
by Manjeet Singh NegiIn a major step towards enhancing jointness among the three services, India on Sunday deployed the special forces of the Army, the Navy and the Indian Air Force (IAF) to carry out counter-terrorist operations in the Kashmir Valley.
The troops include the Army's Para (Special Forces), Navy's Marine Commandos (MARCOS) and Indian Air Force's Garud have been deployed in the Kashmir Valley.
The special forces have been deployed under the defence ministry's Armed Forces Special Operations Division (AFSOD) which is under a Maj Gen of the Indian Army.
The troops have been deployed in the area around the Srinagar city and rural areas near it. The MARCOS commandos are deployed in and around the Wular lake area while the Garud teams have been operating in the Lolab area and Hajin.
The induction of the joint special troops has already started as the Army Para (SF) elements have already been inducted into an area considered to be a traditional terror hotbed.
The troops will be carrying out anti-terrorist operations along with the existing Indian Army Rashtriya Rifles unit in the area.


CRASH A film review by Christopher Null Copyright 1997 Christopher Null
Kinky sex? Intentional car wrecks? Extreme underground perversion? A year and a half of fuss and controversy for this? You betcha!
CRASH is one of the more disturbing movies I've seen in my lifetime, and although I enjoyed it on an aesthetic level, I find it difficult to recommend to the masses, and I think you'll see why in a minute.
 Powerful performances by all the leads (especially Holly Hunter and Elias Koteas as big-time fetishists), excellent scoring, and masterful visuals make CRASH a tricky little picture.
Then again, this is a movie about sex and car crashes, for God's sake! Where Cronenberg fails in his attempt to shock us is in his trying much too hard to make us identify with these freaks and their freakishness. When you let your disbelief creep in just a little bit, you start to ask yourself if it's even remotely reasonable to be aroused by a car crash. I just don't think so.
CRASH gets progressively more and more disturbing as it gets more and more ridiculous. The ending is predictable, yet oddly understated.
Sure, it's pretty silly when you sit down and think about it, but I have to hand it to Cronie for trying. I know I buckled my seatbelt on the way home from the theater.

Even Higher Availability with 5x Faster Streaming in Cassandra 4.0
Posted on April 09, 2019 by The Apache Cassandra Community
« Back to the Apache Cassandra Blog
Streaming is a process where nodes of a cluster exchange data in the form of SSTables. Streaming can kick in during many situations such as bootstrap, repair, rebuild, range movement, cluster expansion, etc. In this post, we discuss the massive performance improvements made to the streaming process in Apache Cassandra 4.0.
High Availability
As we know Cassandra is a Highly Available, Eventually Consistent database. The way it maintains its legendary availability is by storing redundant copies of data in nodes known as replicas, usually running on commodity hardware. During normal operations, these replicas may end up having hardware issues causing them to fail. As a result, we need to replace them with new nodes on fresh hardware.
As part of this replacement operation, the new Cassandra node streams data from the neighboring nodes that hold copies of the data belonging to this new node’s token range. Depending on the amount of data stored, this process can require substantial network bandwidth, taking some time to complete. The longer these types of operations take, the more we are exposing ourselves to loss of availability. Depending on your replication factor and consistency requirements, if another node fails during this replacement operation, ability will be impacted.
Increasing Availability
To minimize the failure window, we want to make these operations as fast as possible. The faster the new node completes streaming its data, the faster it can serve traffic, increasing the availability of the cluster. Towards this goal, Cassandra 4.0 saw the addition of Zero Copy streaming. For more details on Cassandra’s zero copy implementation, see this blog post and CASSANDRA-14556 for more information.
Talking Numbers
To quantify the results of these improvements, we, at Netflix, measured the performance impact of streaming in 4.0 vs 3.0, using our open source NDBench benchmarking tool with the CassJavaDriverGeneric plugin. Though we knew there would be improvements, we were still amazed with the overall results of a five fold increase in streaming performance. The test setup and operations are all detailed below.
Test Setup
In our test setup, we used the following configurations:
- 6-node clusters on i3.xl, i3.2xl, i3.4xl and i3.8xl EC2 instances, each on 3.0 and trunk (sha dd7ec5a2d6736b26d3c5f137388f2d0028df7a03).
- Table schema
CREATE TABLE testing.test ( key text, column1 int, value text, PRIMARY KEY (key, column1) ) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (column1 ASC) AND bloom_filter_fp_chance = 0.01 AND caching = {'keys': 'ALL', 'rows_per_partition': 'NONE'} AND comment = '' AND compaction = {'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionStrategy'} AND compression = {'enabled': 'false'} AND crc_check_chance = 1.0 AND dclocal_read_repair_chance = 0.1 AND default_time_to_live = 0 AND gc_grace_seconds = 864000 AND max_index_interval = 2048 AND memtable_flush_period_in_ms = 0 AND min_index_interval = 128 AND read_repair_chance = 0.0 AND speculative_retry = '99PERCENTILE';
- Data size per node: 500GB
- No. of tokens per node: 1 (no vnodes)
To trigger the streaming process we used the following steps in each of the clusters:
- terminated a node
- add a new node as a replacement
- measure the time taken to complete streaming data by the new node replacing the terminated node
For each cluster and version, we repeated this exercise multiple times to collect several samples.
Below is the distribution of streaming times we found across the clusters
Interpreting the Results
Based on the graph above, there are many conclusions one can draw from it. Some of them are
- 3.0 streaming times are inconsistent and show high degree of variability (fat distributions across multiple samples)
- 3.0 streaming is highly affected by the instance type and generally looks generally CPU bound
- Zero Copy streaming is approximately 5x faster
- Zero Copy streaming time shows little variability in its performance (thin distributions across multiple samples)
- Zero Copy streaming performance is not CPU bound and remains consistent across instance types
It is clear from the performance test results that Zero Copy Streaming has a huge performance benefit over the current streaming infrastructure in Cassandra. But what does it mean in the real world? The following key points are the main take aways.
MTTR (Mean Time to Recovery): MTTR is a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) that is used to measure how quickly a system recovers from a failure. Zero Copy Streaming has a very direct impact here with a five fold improvement on performance.
Costs: Zero Copy Streaming is ~5x faster. This translates directly into cost for some organizations primarily as a result of reducing the need to maintain spare server or cloud capacity. In other situations where you’re migrating data to larger instance types or moving AZs or DCs, this means that instances that are sending data can be turned off sooner saving costs. An added cost benefit is that now you don’t have to over provision the instance. You get a similar streaming performance whether you use a i3.xl or an i3.8xl provided the bandwidth is available to the instance.
Risk Reduction: There is a great reduction in the risk due to Zero Copy Streaming as well. Since a Cluster’s recovery mainly depends on the streaming speed, Cassandra clusters with failed nodes will be able to recover much more quickly (5x faster). This means the window of vulnerability is reduced significantly, in some situations down to few minutes.
Finally, a benefit that we generally don’t talk about is the environmental benefit of this change. Zero Copy Streaming enables us to move data very quickly through the cluster. It objectively reduces the number and sizes of instances that are used to build Cassandra cluster. As a result not only does it reduce Cassandra’s TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), it also helps the environment by consuming fewer resources!
