2.3 Developer Install
This section is dedicated for high-level users who have better background on web technologies and familiar with MySQL, Tomcat and Docker. If you are not familiar with either of them, we strongly suggest you use the "Quick Install" way to install Geoweaver.
Docker
We use docker-compose
to establish the containers for Geoweaver. As the DockerHub is not very friendly for docker-compose yaml at present, we only suggest manual to start from GitHub repo. It only has three steps.
Install
- Clone this repo to your machine
git clone https://github.com/ESIPFed/Geoweaver.git
- Enter the repo and create a new folder
target
. Download a Geoweaver war package from the release page and save it in the createdtarget
folder.
cd Geoweaver && mkdir target && cd target
wget https://github.com/ESIPFed/Geoweaver/releases/download/v0.7.0/Geoweaver-0.7.0.war -O Geoweaver.war
- Run docker to start rolling. After the command is finished, Geoweaver should be up and running.
cd .. && docker-compose up -d
The address is:
http://your-ip:your-port/Geoweaver/web/geoweaver
Replace the your-ip
, your-port
with the real domain of your tomcat. For example, localhost:8080
.
Notice: Make sure the local services like mysql and tomcat are shut down before starting docker-compose
. Otherwise there might be port conflict error on 3306
and 8080
. Or you can change the port to some other free ports in the docker-compose.yml.
If you don't have docker or docker-compose installed, these documents will help. docker docker-compose
Shutdown
To stop Geoweaver, type:
docker stop $(docker ps -aq)
Tomcat War
Install
- Download the latest release war and copy it to the webapps directory of Tomcat (e.g. /usr/local/tomcat). Start Tomcat.
wget https://github.com/ESIPFed/Geoweaver/releases/download/v0.6.10/Geoweaver-0.6.10.war -O Geoweaver.war
cp Geoweaver.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/
/usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
- After the tomcat is fully started, configure the database connection. The configuration files are
WEB-INF/classes/config.properties
nano /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/Geoweaver/WEB-INF/classes/config.properties
nano /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/Geoweaver/WEB-INF/classes/cc_secret.properties
Fill the fields with correct values. (database url, default: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/cyberconnector) and WEB-INF/classes/cc_secret.properties
(database username and password: database_user=root database_password=xxxxxxxx).
(Note: the database must be initiated by the SQL file under the folder Geoweaver/docker/db first.)
mysql -u root -p < docker/db/gw.sql
- Enter the following URL into browser address bar to open Geoweaver:
http://your-ip:your-port/Geoweaver/web/geoweaver
Shutdown
To stop Geoweaver, use:
/usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
Cloud VM Template
Install
We provide a ready-to-use cloud template for you to install on mainstream cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, OpenStack and CloudStack. Please go here to download the template (3.1 Gigabytes). The username and password of the instance would be csiss
and password
respectively.
To start Geoweaver, go to directory /home/csiss/Geoweaver and execute docker-compose up -d. With no accident, Geoweaver will be up and running.
cd /home/csiss/Geoweaver && docker-compose up -d
Shutdown
To stop Geoweaver, use:
docker stop $(docker ps -aq)
2.4 Build from source
Use maven to build. In the command line go to the root folder and execute mvn install
. After a success build, the Geoweaver war package will be under the directory: Geoweaver/target/Geoweaver-<version>.war
.
3. Demo
A live demo site is available in George Mason University: I am a link, hit me.
Here is a use case of Geoweaver, using deep neural network like LSTM RNN and SegNet to classify landsat images into agricultural land use maps. In this case, Geoweaver can help stakeholders get crop maps with better accuracy and high temporal resolution by providing a deep-learning-powered and distributed workflow system.
Animation demo:
4. Usage
4.1 Add A Server
Enroll a server to Geoweaver is simple. The server must have SSH server installed and enabled. The server must be accessible from Geoweaver host server.
4.2 Create A Process
Geoweaver supports Bash Shell scripts as processes. You can write bash command lines in the code area. Note: the commands should exist on the target hosts.
4.3 Create A Workflow
Geoweaver can link the processes together to form a workflow. To connect two processes, press shift
key while dragging from one process to another.
4.4 Run Workflow
Geoweaver can run the created workflows on the enlisted servers. During the running, Geoweaver is monitoring the status of each process. The color of process text in their circles indicate the process status. Yellow means running, green means completed, and red means failure.
4.5 Browse Provenance
Geoweaver stores all the inputs and outputs of each process run. Users can check the workflow provenance by simply clicking.
4.6 Retrieve and Display Results
Geoweaver can retrieve the result files of the executed workflows and visualize them if the format is supported (png, jpg, bmp, etc. The list is expanding. I am on it.).
4.7 I/O workflows
The workflows can be exported and move around and imported back.

For this new year, I have no resolutions. Well, I have the usual "do a little workout", "don't get up so late", but I don't really have faith in these. Instead, I have a list of projects on which I'm working or I'm wanting to work. And I often have difficulties motivating myself.
My solution is: if you're interested in any of these ideas, come and poke me regularly, to remind me that I have to finish that project :)
Here are the projects:
Some of these projects are maybe too ambitious but, you know, if you aim high, you fail higher than those who succeed :)
If you're interested in some of these projects and would like to discuss them with me, feel free to contact me!


What I can do!
 We do this by giving you a folder for every method you want support!
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
Quick and Simple Coding
Our Framework makes writing very simple. You create a simple and short file for every action you allow on your API. Our main goal is making code easier to read!
Your Site Your Way
Instead of having a separate server for your website simply host it on the same one. Simply put the files in the /www folder and BOOM!. It's done.

Database integration
There a numerous database sources and destinations that come with ETLBox. In short, you can extract data from and load data into the following databases: Sql Server, MySql, Postgres, SQLite and Microsoft Access.
DbSource
The DbSource is the most common data source for a data flow. It basically connects to a database via ADO.NET and executes a SELECT-statement to start reading the data. While data is read from the source, it is simultaneously posted into the dataflow pipe. This enables the DbSource also to handle big amount of data - it constantly can read data from a big table while already read data can be processed by the connected componentens.
To initialize a DbSource, you can simply pass a table (or view) name or a SQL-statement. The DbSource also accepts a connection manager.
The following code would read all data from the table SourceTable
and use the default connection manager:
DbSource source = new DbSource("SourceTable");
For the DbSource
, you can also specify some Sql code to retrieve your data:
DbSource source = new DbSource() {
Sql = "SELECT * FROM SourceTable"
};
Working with types
In the examples above we used a object without a type.
This will let ETLBox work internally with an ExpandoObject
which is a dynamic .NET object type.
Let's assume that SouceTable has two columns:
| ColumnName | Data Type |
|---|---|
| Id | INTEGER |
| Value | VARCHAR |
Reading from this table using the DbSource without type will internally create a dynamic object with two properties: Id of type int and Value of type string.
Working with dynamic objects has some drawbacks, as .NET is a strongly typed language. Of course you can also use a generic object to type the DbSource.
Let's assume we create a POCO (Plain old component object) MySimpleRow
that looks like this:
public class MySimpleRow {
public int Id { get; set;}
public string Value { get; set;}
}
Now we can read the data from the source with a generic object:
DbSource<MySimpleRow> source = new DbSource<MySimpleRow>("SourceTable");
ETLBox will autamtically extract missing meta information during runtime from the source table and the involved types. In our example, the source table has the exact same columns as the object - ETLBox will check this and write data from the Id column into the Id property, and data from the column Value into the Value property. Each record in the source will be a new object that is created and then passed to the connected components.
Of course the properties in the object and the columsn can differ - ETLBox will only load columns from a source where it can find the right property. If the data type is different, ETLBox will try to automatically convert the data. If the names are different, you can use the attribute ColumnMap to define the matching columns name for a property. In our example, we could replace the property Id with a property Key - in order to still read data from the Id column, we add the ColumnMap attribute. Also, if we change the data type to string, ETLBox will automatically convert the integer values into a string.
[ColumnMap("Id")]
public string Key { get;set; }
DbDestination
Like the DbSource
, the DbDestination
is the common component for sending data into a database. It is initialized with a table name.
Unlike other Destinations, the DbDestination inserts data into the database in batches. The default batch size is 1000 rows - the DbDestination waits
until it's input buffer has reached the batch size before it bulk inserts the data into the database.
The following example would transfer data from the destination to the source:
DbSource source = new DbSource("SourceTable");
DbDestination dest = new DbDestination("DestinationTable");
//Link everything together
source.LinkTo(dest);
//Start the data flow
source.Execute();
dest.Wait()
Connection manager
Connection strings
To connect to your database of choice, you will need a string that contains all information needed to connect to your database (e.g., the network address of the database, user name and password). The specific connection string syntax for each provider is defined by the ADO.NET framework. If you need assistance to create such a connection string, have a look at this website that provide example strings for almost every database.
Database Connections
The DbSource
and DbDestination
can be used to connect via ADO.NET to a database server.
To do so, it will need the correct connection manager and either a raw connection string or a ConnectionString
object.
The easiest way is to directly pass a raw connection string and create with it a connection manager.
Here is an example creating a connection manager for Sql Server and pass it to a DbSource:
DbSource source = DbSource (
new SqlConnectionManager("Data Source=.;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=ETLBox;")
, "SourceTable"
);
For other databases the code looks very similar. Please be aware that the connection string might look different.
This is how you create a connection manager for MySql:
MySqlConnectionManager connectionManager = new MySqlConnectionManager("Server=<IP_ADDRESS>;Database=ETLBox_ControlFlow;Uid=etlbox;Pwd=etlboxpassword;";
Here the example code for creating a connection manager for Postgres:
PostgresConnectionManager connectionManager = new PostgresConnectionManager("Server=<IP_ADDRESS>;Database=ETLBox_DataFlow;User Id=postgres;Password=etlboxpassword;");
Creation of a connection manager for SQLite:
SQLiteConnectionManager connectionManager = new SQLiteConnectionManager("Data Source=.\\db\\SQLiteControlFlow.db;Version=3;");
Default ConnectionManager
Every component or task related to a database operation needs to have a connection managers set in order
to connect to the right database. Sometimes it can be cumbersome to pass the same connection manager over and over
again. To avoid this, there is a static ControlFlow
class that contains the property DefaultDbConnection
.
If you define a connection manager here, this will always be used as a fallback value if no other connection manager property was defined.
ControlFlow.DefaultDbConnection = new SqlConnectionManager("Data Source=.;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=ETLBox;");
//Now you can just create a DbSource like this
var source = new DbSource("SourceTable");
Connection String wrapper
When you create a new connection manager, you have the choice to either pass the connection string directly or you
create an adequate ConnectionString object from the connection string before you pass it to the connection manager.
The ConnectionString object does exist for every database type (e.g. for MySql it is MySqlConnectionString
). The ConnectionString
wraps the raw database connection string into the appropriate ConnectionStringBuilder object and also offers some more
functionalities, e.g. like getting a connection string for the database storing system information.
SqlConnectionString etlboxConnString = new SqlConnectionString("Data Source=.;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=ETLBox;");
SqlConnectionString masterConnString = etlboxConnString.GetMasterConnection();
//masterConnString is equal to "Data Source=.;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
SqlConnectionManager conectionToMaster = new SqlConnectionManager(masterConnString);
ODBC Connections
The DbSource
and DbDestination
also works with ODBC connection. Currently ODBC connections with Sql Server and Access are supported.
You will still use the underlying ADO.NET, but it allows you to connect to SQL Server or Access databases via ODBC.
Here is how you can connect via ODBC:
DbSource source = DbSource (
new SqlODBCConnectionManager("Driver={SQL Server};Server=.;Database=ETLBox_ControlFlow;Trusted_Connection=Yes"),
"SourceTable"
);
Warning: ODBC does not support bulk inserts like in "native" connections.
The DbDestination
will do a bulk insert by creating a sql insert statement that
has multiple values: INSERT INTO (..) VALUES (..),(..),(..)
Access DB Connections
The ODBC connection to Microsoft Access databases have more restrictions. ETLBox is based .NET Core and will run in your application as dependency. It now depends if you compile your application with 32bit or 64bit (some version of .NET Core only support 64bit). You will need the right Microsoft Access driver installed - either 32bit or 64bit. You can only install the 32bit driver if you have a 32bit Access installed, and vice versa. Also, make sure to set up the correct ODBC connection (again, there is 64bit ODBC connection manager tool in windows and a 32bit).
The corresponding 64bit ODBC driver for Access can be download Microsoft: Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
To create a connection to an Access Database, use the AccessOdbcConnectionManager
and an OdbcConnectionString
.
DbDestination dest = DbDestination (
new AccessOdbcConnectionManager(new OdbcConnectionString("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)}DBQ=C:\DB\Test.mdb")),
"DestinationTable"
);
Warning: The DbDestination
will do a bulk insert by creating a sql statement using a sql query that Access understands. The number of rows per batch is
very limited - if it too high, you will the error message 'Query to complex'. Try to reduce the batch size to solve this.
Note: Please note that the AccessOdbcConnectionManager will create a "temporary" dummy table containing one record in your database when doing the bulk insert. After completion it will delete the table again. This is necessary to simulate a bulk insert with Access-like Sql.
Connection Pooling
The implementation of all connection managers is based on Microsoft ADO.NET and makes use of the underlying connection pooling. Please see here for more details of connection pooling. This means that this actually can increase your performance, and in most scenarios you never have more connections open that you actually need for your application.
You don't need to explicitly open a connection. ETLBox will call the Open()
method on a connection manager whenever
needed - where it relies on the underlying ADO.NET connection pooling that either creates a new connection
or re-uses an existing one. Whenever the work of a component or task is done, the connection manager will return the connection back to
the pool so that it can be reused by other components or tasks when needed.
Please note that the connection pooling only works for the same connection strings. For every connection string that differs there is going to be a separate pool
This behavior - returning connections back to the pool when the work is done - does work very well in a scenario
with concurrent tasks. There may be a use-case where you don't won't to query your database in parallel and you
want to leave the connection open, avoiding the pooling. For this scenario you can use the LeaveOpen
property
on the connection managers.
Table Definitions
If you pass a table name to a DBsource
or DbDestination
or a Sql statement to a DbSource
, the meta data
of the table is automatically derived from that table or sql statement by ETLBox. For table or views this is done via a Sql statement that queries
system information, and for the Sql statement this is done via parsing the statement.
If you don't want ETLBox to read this information, or if you want to provide your own meta information,
you can pass a TableDefinition
instead.
This could look like this:
var TableDefinition = new TableDefinition("tableName"
, new List<TableColumn>() {
new TableColumn("Id", "BIGINT", allowNulls:false, isPrimaryKey: true, isIdentity:true)),
new TableColumn("OtherCol", "NVARCHAR(100)", allowNulls: true)
});
var DbSource<type> = new DbSource<type>() {
SourceTableDefinition = TableDefinition
}
ETLBox will use this meta data instead to get the right column names.

Components have three main parts of their lifecycle:
Mounting(being inserted into the DOM),
Updating(being re-rendered)
Unmounting(being removed from the DOM).
React provides hooks into these lifecycle part. will methods are called right before something happens, and did methods which are called right after something happens.
componentWillMount()
componentDidMount()
componentWillUpdate(object nextProps, object nextState)
componentDidUpdate(object prevProps, object prevState)
componentWillUnmount()
componentWillReceiveProps(object nextProps): invoked when a mounted component receives new props.
shouldComponentUpdate(object nextProps, object nextState): invoked when a component decides whether any changes warrant an update to the DOM.


Companion planting is a technique based on a long history of observations of the interaction between plants in the garden. Certain combinations of plants can add to, or detract from the abundance and health of edibles in your garden by altering the soil. attracting or repelling insects, or creating a helpful microclimate. Companion planting has been used by gardeners for centuries. Some plant relationships have been scientifically proven, whiles others have been developed by trial and error over hundreds of years. The most well known companions are the three sisters (corn, beans, squash) used by Native Americans.
Companion planting is a holistic approach to gardening, developed through time by experimentation. As you implement this practice yourself, keep a log of what did or didn't work well to help you understand what succeeds in your garden.
Choose a plant from the drop down. In the next drop down menu, it will show you a list companion plants that would be good to plant surrounding your original choice. It'll also help you plan the spacing in your garden bed.


Taiwan ruling party says China 'enemy of democracy' after meddling allegations
Cho said that while Kuomintang is the direct opponent in the election, the biggest challenge came from China, describing it as the "strongest destructive force"
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's ruling party denounced China as an "enemy of democracy" on Monday following fresh claims of Chinese interference in the island's politics ahead of presidential and legislative elections on January 11.
The allegations, reported by Australian media, were made by a Chinese asylum seeker in Australia who said he was a Chinese spy. China, which claims Taiwan as its sacred territory, to be brought under Beijing's control by force if necessary, has branded the asylum seeker a fraud.
Cho Jung-Tai, chairman of Tsai's Democratic Progressive Party, which favors Taiwan's formal independence, said there needed to be further investigations, noting that a lot of fake news came from China.
"The enemy of democracy in China. At present Taiwan's most ambitious opponent, competitor is also China," Cho told a news conference in Taipei.
Among several allegations leveled, the would-be defector said he had helped guide positive media attention toward certain Taiwanese politicians, including President Tsai's main opponent, Han Kuo-yu of the China-friendly Kuomintang party.
Cho said that while Kuomintang is the direct opponent in the election, the biggest challenge came from China, describing it as the "strongest destructive force".
Kuomintang's Han said he would drop out of the election if he has taken any money from the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaking at a separate news conference, the Kuomintang said the issue was one of "blundering Communist espionage" that should be investigated immediately and accused the government of seeking to use the matter to "manipulate elections".
"We are urging the Tsai government and national security authorities to explain related incidents. They should not take an ambiguous attitude on the matter, influencing elections," said a Kuomintang spokeswoman Wang Hong-wei.
Ouyang Long, another Kuomintang spokesman, said people should not be "painted red", in reference to allegations of links to the Chinese Communist Party, and accused Tsai's administration of "working in collusion" with outside forces.
"They should give a responsible answer to citizens and prevent rumors and fake news from circling, affecting the fairness of the 2020 elections," Ouyang said.

- This is not a Race Track! There is no runoff, no sandtraps and worst of all, NO CELL SERVICE!
- If you crash, you will lay on the road until someone either rides to town to call for help. Or someone rides to point with service and calls. In either case you will be on the road for up to an hour!
- There is ONCOMING traffic, STAY IN YOUR LANE!
- NEVER CROSS THE YELLOW LINE OF DEATH!
This being said, please ride responsibly for yourself, your loved ones and the guy coming from the other direction.

This page explains the technical background of the XPMP2 Remote functionality. For end user documentation refer to LiveTraffic/XPMP2 Remote Client documentation.
Support in your Plugin
You do not need to do anything specifically in your plugin to support the Remote functionality. Just build and link with the latest XPMP2 library. Don't even ship the Remote Client, but refer to the download location, which is maintained centrally.
Optionally, you could respond to the new XPMP_CFG_ITM_SUPPORT_REMOTE
configuration item in your XPMPIntPrefsFuncTy
configuration callback function, e.g. to provide the user with an option to switch Remote support on regardless of network configuration. However, the default, "auto-detect", works in by far most scenarios already. And in the few others the users would still have the chance to use the XPMP2.prf config file as documented.
Optionally, you could react to an inter-plugin message XPLM_MSG_RELEASE_PLANES
from the XPMP2 Remote Client and cede TCAS/AI control in that case because the Remote Client will take care of your TCAS in that case, too, but will also have the chance to pick up planes of other XPMP2-based plugins. See LiveTraffic's XPluginReceiveMessage function for an example.
Basic Ideas
- There are senders (the actual XPMP2-based plugins) disseminating position information via UDP multicst into the local network.
- There is one centrally provided XPMP2 Remote Client plugin per networked PC, which is part of the XPMP2 project. This client reads those multicast messages and displays the aircraft in the networked PCs.
- The XPMP2 master shall be independent of the X-Plane master. This would allow to run the XPMP2 master on another of the networked PCs for load balancing. Or to use the same principle for networked gaming setup with several totally independent players, which still could share the same XPMP2-driven planes.
- It is possible to collect multicast data from different XPMP2-driven plugins, even if they run on different PCs. So the Remote Client is able to identify different sources and map their aircraft ids in case they are in conflict.
- Standard setup is "zero-config":
- The masters will first listen to the multicast port. As soon as they receive something they will start broadcasting their own data, too.
- The clients will first send a "Beacon of interest" message on the multicast address and repeat that every once in a while until they eventually receive actual data.
- Masters send their configuration regularly.
- The client needs to replicate relevant configuration settings like logging level, replace dataRefs/textures, label and map settings;
- as different masters could be configured differently the client decides for a "best effort" config for each of these items.
- The Remote Client requests TCAS/AI right on startup. This is not perfectly in line with TCAS plugin coordination rules, but necessary so that the Remote Client can actually combine all the other plugins' position data into one central TCAS/AI stream.
- The network messages include per plane:
- Position, attitude
- Model (the client needs to have the same set of CSL models installed, and it still needs to be able to do its own matching in case the requested model is not accessible)
- Configuration, ie. the array of animation dataRefs
- To save network bandwidth data compression is applied:
- Full data set only every once in a while (so that clients have a chance to fully synch with a new plane),
- diff data only inbetween, animation dataRefs only if they really change...
- Special situations handled specially:
- Change of visibility
- Change of CSL model
- Removal of aircraft
- Stale aircraft (not updated in some time)
- Stale sender (not sending in some time)
- Read an optional config file to be able to change a few parameters and enforce network functionality
- Read by all XPMP2-based plugins, including Remote Client
- Example provided as Resources/XPMP2.example.prf
- Includes switch on/off/auto, port, multicast address, max msg length
Application Architecture
Network Message "Protocol"
- Plugin's settings
RemoteMsgSettingsTy
(grey)
- are sent every 20 seconds,
- contain plugin information like its name,
- contain relevant configuration settings,
- are used by the Remote Client to learn about senders; planes can only be processed from known senders.
- Fully detailed
RemoteMsgAcDetailTy
messages (green)
- contain information for several planes, each plane occupying a fixed-length "record" in the message,
- introduces new planes (the plane icon in the bottom row),
- are regularly sent every 10s per plane, all planes equally distributed over this 10 second period,
- allows the Remote Client to create new planes and fully synchronize all data every 10 seconds.
- Position update
RemoteMsgAcPosUpdateTy
messages (blue)
- contain information for several planes, each plane occupying a fixed-length "record" in the message,
- include differential position updates only for space efficiency,
- can be processed by the Remote Client only for already known planes.
- Animation dataRef
RemoteMsgAcAnimTy
messages (orange)
- contain information for several planes,
- are variable-length even per plane as only actually changed dataRef values are included as key/value pairs,
- all values are reduced from
float
to 8 bit uint8_t
values for space efficiency,
- can be processed by the Remote Client only for already known planes.
- Plane removal
RemoteMsgAcRemoveTy
messages (red)
- contain information for several planes, each plane identified by an internal id only,
- inform the Remote Client to remove that plane.

| A Cup of Radicchio: Install Zabbix 6.0.7 + Nginx/PHP-FPM + MariaDB on Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS A personal website of a power looper, a skateboarder, and a coder |
|
| Home Docs Sources Blog GitHub |
2nd of September, 2022
The main prerequisite here is to have MariaDB and Nginx servers already installed, configured, and run on the same host where Zabbix supposed being installed. Thus, the following instructions are based on what was installed and configured earlier, for the Redmine-carrying Ubuntu server – clearly described in this article.
(1) Install the necessary dependencies
(2) Install MariaDB Server and Nginx
For installation instructions of dependencies, MariaDB, and Nginx servers please refer to the article "Install Redmine 5.0.2 + Nginx/Passenger + MariaDB on Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS" (the hyperlink is given above).
(3) Download and install Zabbix Ubuntu repo from the official Zabbix website
$ # https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabbix=6.0&os_distribution=ubuntu&os_version=22.04_jammy&db=mysql&ws=nginx
$
$ curl -LO https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.0/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_6.0-3+ubuntu22.04_all.deb
...
$ sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_6.0-3+ubuntu22.04_all.deb
...
(4) Install Zabbix server, Zabbix frontend (web control panel), Zabbix configuration for Nginx, SQL scripts for Zabbix database backend, and Zabbix agent
$ sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-nginx-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-agent -y
In this step PHP-FPM will be installed as a dependency along with numerous dependent php-*
packages.
If it is expected to use Zabbix frontend in languages other than English, the php-gettext-languages
package must also be installed. In addition, for those languages appropriate system locales should be generated on the server where Zabbix frontend is installed.
Also there is a couple of preconfigured scripts in Zabbix frontend which can be run against hosts monitored. So if it is supposed to "Traceroute" a host, it needs to install the traceroute
package. And for OS detection using Nmap, it needs to install the nmap
package.
(5) Configure MariaDB for Zabbix readiness
$ mysql -uroot -p

Carol Vorderman pours scorn on Prince Andrew's denials in extraordinary interview
Prince Andrew has been on the receiving end of social media backlash following his BBC Newsnight interview - and Carol Vorderman is unconvinced
by Irishmirror.ieCarol Vorderman has added her own scathing comments as she waded into the backlash against Prince Andrew .
During his BBC Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis centred around his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein - which has since been branded "disastrous" - the former Countdown star poured scorn on the royal.
In a series of tweets a "shocked" Carol wrote that the 45-minute interview was "car crash" viewing and she was left floored at the series of statements the Queen's third child made.
"I'm truly so shocked that my brain is saying 'you didn't just see or hear what you think you just saw and heard'... #PrinceAndrew So where can I watch that car crash again just to check?" she remarked.
The Duke of York defended his reputation and made the decision to speak on the record about his friendship with Epstein , who was found hanged in a New York jail cell in August while awaiting a sex trafficking trial.
Epstein, 66, previously admitted prostituting a minor in 2008 and spent 13 months in prison after agreeing a plea bargain.
In 2015, Andrew was dragged into the scandal when one of Epstein's victims alleged she had been forced to have sex with him when she was just 17 - which the prince categorically denies.
Pilot and racehorse owner Carol wrote of Prince Andrew's comments about Epstein as the Saturday night interview aired.
"So I didn't speak to him for 4 years because it wasn't appropriate, but when he was released from prison for sex offences I didn't ring him..no... I flew to America to tell him in person that I STILL wasn't going to talk to him...RUN THAT BY ME AGAIN."
She continued while also responding to other people watching the interview: "Then after he was released for sex offences, & even tho I hadn't spoken to him for 4 yrs, I wanted to 'show leadership' so I went for a walk with him in Central Park to tell him I STILL couldn't speak to him but somehow had a 4 night sleepover in his house....?!?!?! #PrinceAndrew."
Seeming baffled at what she as watching, Carol added alongside questioning face emojis: "I stayed at his home on a 4 night sleepover to tell him that I didn't want to be his friend anymore. even tho I hadn't spoken to him for 4 years as he'd been in jail for sex offences BUT I only saw him for a walk..Oh and a dinner party..Oh and in the passage #PrinceAndrew."
During the programme Prince Andrew denied dancing with Virginia at upmarket nightclub Tramp because he was at a Pizza Express in Woking at the time, as well as several other baffling claims.
One PR guru branded the TV stint "disastrous" and "like watching a man in quicksand" as millions tuned in to watch host Emily Maitlis grill the royal.
PR and crisis consultant Mark Borkowski said it was a lesson on "how not to do" public relations.
"I have never seen anything so disastrous. For any students of PR, that is how not to do it," he said.
A body language expert also said Prince Andrew was being 'evasive and potentially deceptive' during the sit down.
Experienced body language expert and psychologist Darren Stanton watched Andrew with a laser-like scrutiny as the 59-year-old broke his silence on the topic of the allegations and Epstein.
"The behaviour I observed during the documentary is consistent with someone being evasive and potentially deceptive," Mr Stanton told MirrorOnline.
"I am not convinced the account was consistent or congruent with the true emotion of the Prince."


Unlocked LG G8 ThinQ Smartphone For $399 – Amazon Black Friday 2019 Deals
For $399, the LG G8 ThinQ is a really good smartphone to pick up. That's more than half off of its regular price, and this is actually a flagship smartphone.
LG launched the G8 ThinQ earlier this year, so it has all of the latest specs that you would expect from a flagship smartphone. That includes a Snapdragon 855 chipset, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
There is also a dual-camera setup on the backside. There's an ultrawide 12-megapixel camera and a regular 16-megapixel sensor. It decided to keep the telephoto lens on its V-series smartphones, at least for now. Which is fine, as most people are going to prefer the Ultrawide over the telephoto anyways. Even though Google says we don't.

The screen on the LG G8 ThinQ is a 6.1-inch Quad HD+ OLED panel, which looks pretty incredible. Now there is a notch here, and it is a pretty large one. Though thankfully it's not as deep as the Pixel 3 XL's notch was. It is still pretty long. That's because it houses the front-facing camera, as well as a Time of Flight sensor for some cool gestures and better selfies.
The speaker on the G8 ThinQ is actually under the display, and you won't even notice a difference here. It's actually really good. So there's still stereo speakers on the G8 ThinQ, even though there is actually only one speaker you can see – on the bottom of the device.
LG G8 ThinQ is an unlocked smartphone and it also works with all four of the US carriers. That includes AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon.

You can pick up the unlocked LG G8 ThinQ smartphone from Amazon right now by clicking here. This is good today only, so you'll want to grab this before it's gone.

Ceiling plaster falls in school, student hurt
by Staff ReporterRoof plaster in a municipal school in east Delhi’s Jaffrabad fell on Monday, injuring a student, EDMC officials said.
Additional commissioner Alka Sharma said that the student did not need to be hospitalised. An inquiry has been initiated. Ms. Sharma said that Engineering and Education Departments staff have been told to conduct inspections on the building, constructed in 1993, and on all of about 235 EDMC school buildings.
A decision regarding the demolition of the building will be taken based on a final report, she said.

If you decide to reduce or eliminate coffee, you may experience cravings. These cravings come from both your psychological and physical dependence on the drug. Not only is drinking coffee a pleasurable daily habit, it becomes a physiological dependence as well. If you manage to resist the cravings, they will subside after a few days. Overall, it's easier to break the coffee habit than many other addictions, and there are many good reasons for doing so.

Also you must know when you have had too much, and set levels for caffeine consumption rather than coffee consumption. About 300-400mg of Caffeine per day are considered as a safety limit for an adult and should not be exceeded in order for him or her to remain healthy. Coffee addicts usually average to about 600-700mgs of Caffeine per day which is much higher the safety limits. You can try decaf or coffee with low fat milk to bring down your daily caffeeine consumptions.
Most importantly, remember to reward yourself after any bit of success that you have on your path to recovery, after all you deserve it!!

Hello! This is the project website for "Home IoT Management in ARENA" (Augmented Reality Edge Network Architecture) for
ECE M202A (Embedded Systems) for the Fall 2020 quarter. This is a group project completed by
Patrick Han and Suvir Mehrota under the supervision of Professor Mani Srivastava. Additionally,
we would like to acknowledge our thanks to Nuno Pereira and Michael Farb at
Carnegie Mellon University
who were our 2 main points of contact regarding the ARENA framework over the course of this project.
You'll be able to find links to demonstration videos, source code, and slides on this website.
Abstract
Mixed reality is the idea of combining virtual and real worlds in order to create an environment where both physical and digital objects exist.
This hybrid between reality and virtual reality allows for interaction between the physical and virtual worlds.
In the past mixed reality has been used in fields such as simulation-based learning, remote learning, and military training.
ARENA is a framework that makes it easy to create and share mixed reality content.
In the past there have been several
technical hurdles that prevented developers from making easily accessible mixed reality content including, but not
limited to: latency requirements, synchronization between multiple users, and a diversity in compute capabilities.
Using the ARENA framework, we'd like to demonstrate a use case that brings to light the advances made in this area
regarding development.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our use of spaces is relatively limited.
Naturally, the home/apartment becomes a great candidate for mixed reality use in this time.
In this project, we've created two demos that showcase the use of sensing and mixed reality: Generalized Heatmaps and
Smart Lock Management. Both demos demonstrate how users can interact with internet-connected sensors to enable a greater
depth of understanding in an environment.
Anyone with access to the appropriate link can, through a web browser,
explore these virtual spaces and interact with the physical world themselves.
Although management of IoT devices remotely is by no means a novel concept, ARENA allows users to do so with a
physical touch.
Source Code and Referenced Code
The following links will direct to the original GitHub repositories associated with each demo:
Generalized Heat Maps
Smart Lock Management
Source code copies of demo code in this website's repository
The above repositories contain code specific to this project. We of course, are grateful for example code snippets
that we used for some portions of our own programs. The proper references and credit for that code can be found
under the "References" section in the menu bar at the top of this page. Or click here.

'Magnolia' (1999)
A movie review by Walter Frith
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Member of the 'Online Film Critics Society' http://www.ofcs.org
'Hard Eight' and 'Boogie Nights'. 1996 and 1997 were good years for director Paul Thomas Anderson. Two films that established him as a hard boiled and progressive film maker. His influential style, that of a young Robert Altman, was breath taking to behold. Particularly 'Boogie Nights'. A film which spanned six years and gave us an evenly balanced look at several characterizations and the film knew where its high points and low points were. The decibel level was right on the money. My, how things change. 'Magnolia' is an over stuffed stinker that reeks with pretentious situations and over written scenes of ulcerating ugliness. It does this from its opening scene and tries to explain that co-incidence and unlikeliness are the most bizarre facts of life
The most depressing film I've ever seen is 1998's 'Affliction'. Superb acting from all (including James Coburn's Oscar win for Best Supporting Actor) but the film had a strange and curious path of familiarity for many families and the picture concentrated itself on the actions of only a few major characters. I said in my review that while being truthful, that didn't seem to matter much because the overall purpose of film is to entertain and I questioned the entertainment value of such a film and a similarly depressing film from 1998 entitled 'A Simple Plan' which suffered from the same fate and while recommending that film, I like it less and less the more I think about it. I had to debate for almost a week and finally gave 'Affliction' a marginal recommendation for its stain of genuine emotional truth.
'Magnolia' also makes the mistake of trying to bombard the screen with too much over the top material that it loses track of its entertainment value. The film is like being grabbed by an octopus and pulled in so many directions that you're exhausted after finally escaping, the equivalent of leaving the theatre for movie goers. Leaving 'Magnolia' is indeed an escape rather than a departure. The film's glib symmetry will be mistaken by some as high powered drama but it suffers from an ending which goes against the first rule of screen writing.  A final scene that is out of left field with no warning given to the audience and is a ridiculous and cheap way to end all it thinks its accomplished.
The story is an ensemble piece that shows the lives of about a dozen characters, some of whom aren't worth mentioning because their scenes are so one dimensional. Senior to the film is Jason Robards, a dying man named Earl Partridge who is trying to contact his long lost son Frank (Tom Cruise) who has changed his last name to Mackey and wants nothing to do with the dying spirit of his father after being contacted by Earl's home care worker (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Frank Mackey is a kind of manipulative motivational speaker. He tries to expand other men's horizons in the sexual universe by telling them what sex really is and how to use it to get members of the opposite gender to fall immediately for them. His seminars come complete with a spotlight, head set microphone and flashy wardrobe. Some good work here by Cruise, but I hope the members of the Academy don't give him an Oscar for it. If they do, it will be in part, a sympathy vote to compensate Cruise for the ridiculous amount of time he spent making 'Eyes Wide Shut'. Sure, a great film in the end and one of the best of 1999 but a film that could have been made in only a few months. Earl Partridge is also filled with regret for marrying an uncaring and unloving woman named Linda (Julianne Moore).
Meet Jimmy Gator (Philip Baker Hall). He is the host of a game show where a group of kids on one side, take on a group of adults on the other and all the trappings of the game show world are explored in such a manner as to leave the most foul taste in your mouth after it's all over. Jimmy is dying and only has a couple of months left to live and tries to make amends with his wife (Melinda Dillon) and his drug addicted daughter (Melora Walters), who is about to warm up to a police officer (John C. Reilly). Then there is the most boring of the stories involving a former child genius (William H. Macy) as a loser who works at a job he is too overqualified for. Was William H. Macy trying to top himself by playing a loser similar to the one he played in his Oscar nominated role in 'Fargo'. You won't top that one, Billy!
What is most shocking about 'Magnolia' is how it uses its music score. The music literally goes on for so long that it obliterates the senses and doesn't know when to quit. The audience I saw it with was stone faced throughout its ridiculous running time of three hours and gasps of shock and disbelief hit the auditorium during the unlikely climax. What little there is to rave about in some of the performances, notably Cruise and Reilly, is drowned out by a protracted chemistry among its cast and is comparable to having one of your teeth pulled without anesthetic and then needing all of your teeth removed because your dentist fouled up.
