Editors and IDEs
For coding in Ruby you can use the default editor of your operating system. By the way, to be more effective in coding, it is worth to choose a source code editor with basic Ruby support (e.g. syntax-highlighting, file browsing) or an integrated development environment with advanced features (e.g. code completion,refactoring, testing support).
Here is a list of popular tools used by Rubyists:

Dez Bryant Has Telling Comment On Cowboys-Patriots Game
by Andrew HolleranFormer Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has weighed in on this evening’s game against the New England Patriots. His comment is probably going to sit well with much of the fan base.
The Cowboys are trailing the Patriots, 13-9, late in the fourth quarter. It’s been a mistake-filled game for Dallas, which has made some puzzling coaching decisions, too.
Bryant believes one team has the better players, while the other has the better coaches. You probably don’t need more than one guess here…
“What I see from the game so far…. Dallas has the better players but New England has the better coaches and game plan,” he tweeted.
He’s probably not wrong.
The Cowboys are one of the most-talented teams in the NFL, but Jason Garrett’s team just hasn’t put it together this season. The Patriots, meanwhile, are led by the greatest coach in league history.
We’ll see if Dallas can flip the script in the game’s final minutes.
The finish can be seen on FOX.

Iran summons Swiss ambassador over U.S. comments about petrol price hike unrest: state media
GENEVA (Reuters) - Iran’s foreign ministry summoned the Swiss ambassador in Tehran on Wednesday over U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s support for protesters demonstrating about fuel price hikes, the official IRNA news agency reported.
Iran told the Swiss envoy, who represents U.S. interests in the Islamic Republic because Iran and the United States do not have formal diplomatic ties, that the official U.S. statements were an interference in Iran’s internal affairs.

One Destination Ruled Out For Zlatan
by SL InternationalZlatan Ibrahimovic has been linked with a number of clubs recently after announcing his departure at LA Galaxy, but one European club has ruled out a move for the Swedish striker.
Read: 'He Made Ronaldo Cry, Yes'
The 38-year-old announced on Wednesday evening that he would be leaving the Major League Soccer outfit after two seasons in Los Angeles.
Clubs in Serie A and Manchester United have been heavily linked with the Swedish veteran, but Atalanta president Antonio Percassi says they can't afford the striker.
“Ibrahimovic is a great player, but we can't afford him,” Percassi told Italian news agency ANSA.
“We are mere paupers…
“We don't have the revenue of the big clubs, although miraculously we get the results and remain a provincial reality keeping our feet on the ground.
“We can't compete with certain figures.
“We've got clear ideas regarding the stadium and have to complete the Zingonia training centre. We still need some millions and we have already spent £3.4m on the Bortolotti Centre.”

Mexican Government Sues Walmart for El Paso Mass Shooting
The Mexican federal government announced the filing of a lawsuit in a U.S. court against Walmart for the August 3 mass shooting in El Paso, Texas. Mexico City claims the shopping center failed in providing necessary and reasonable security measures.
by Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon DarbyA U.S. law firm hired by Mexico’s Consulate in El Paso filed the lawsuit on behalf of 10 Mexican nationals who were victims in the attack. On August 3, a lone gunman entered the Walmart near the Cielo Vista shopping center targeting what he called “Hispanic invaders” in a manifesto. The man killed 22 and injured 24 more. Texas prosecutors filed capital murder charges against the alleged shooter.
“Through this lawsuit, the petitioners are seeking justice not only for them but also for safety for the public in general,” Mexico’s Foreign Relations Ministry said in a prepared statement after the filing of the lawsuit. “Mexico’s government will continue using all resources available to keep these types of incidents from happening and to repair the damages suffered by the victims.”
Ildefonso Ortiz is an award-winning journalist with Breitbart Texas. He co-founded Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles project with Brandon Darby and senior Breitbart management. You can follow him on Twitter and on Facebook . He can be contacted at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>.

--- layout: post title: Rails developer with Java chops wanted categories: - jobs author: admin published: true date: 2005-03-10 11:58:24.000000000 +00:00 ---
Jason Wong from ionami in San Francisco wants to hire a Rails developer with Java chops to help him through the transition from Java to Ruby on Rails:
ionami is looking for one part time (20 hrs/week) with a migration to full time work, for a maintenance and development position. Here’s the catch. You have to know Java really well, and know your way around Oracle. Additionally, XML, XSLT, and JS would be helpful. Our client is expanding, and the work is heavy Java, but I’m also migrating the rest of our shop work to Ruby on Rails, where possible. We just acquired our first Fortune 500 Rails customer. So if you have Java chops, and want to do Rails work, send a resume to jobs at ionami dot com.

This is an example of 'invisible' left-recursion; the left recursion here isn't syntactic but can appear at runtime due to b being nullable, and thus a can call itself without consuming any input. I'm not sure this example follows the formal definition of left recursion, so let's call it "left-recursion-like behavior due to nullable nonterminals"
Again, Takmela's algorithm doesn't know or care about all this, it just dutifully parses the input
Grammara: b a c | 'a' ; b: 'b' | ; c : 'c'; NUM: [0-9]+; PLUS: '+'; WS skip: ' '*;Input

Beautifully Nondescript
Jones* was crafted with one goal: to create an invisible typeface. The solution lies in an underlying letter form. A universal collective alphabet. Each letter of Jones* was created to be familiar, to not stand out. The result is a marvelous collection of letters that are simple in geometry, trustworthy, and so basic that they feel as if they have always been.
Timeless and Friendly
Jones* is named after Tobias Frere-Jones, creator of the iconic Gotham typeface from which Jones* is most informed. Jones* is also informed by the American Type Founder’s Blair, Julieta Ulanovsky’s Montserrat and countless others. Jones* is created from scratch to work well in a variety of context.

This is a bit of advice for lucky students who get to do research with a professor.
Take this opportunity seriously. Either you make it your top priority, or you don't do it at all. That's the message. Read the rest of the page if you want to know why and how.
I'd find it awkward to say these things directly to a nice undergrad or master's student I was starting to work with. It would feel like talking down to them, whereas I like my research collaborators—however junior—to talk with me comfortably as equals, have fun, and come up with half the ideas.
Still, it's important to understand up front what the pressures are on faculty-student collaborations. So here are some things to bear in mind.
[If the professor is female/male, click here.]
Your research advisor doesn't get much credit for working with junior students, and would find it easier and safer to work with senior students. It's just that someone gave him/her a chance once: that's how he/she ended up where he/she is today. He/She'd like to pay that debt forward.
But should it be paid forward to you?
The hours that your advisor spends with you, one-on-one, are hours that he/she no longer has available for
So he/she does expect that you'll pay him/her back, by working as hard as he/she did when he/she got his/her chance.
 You are being entrusted with part of his/her research agenda. The goal is to make new discoveries and publish them on schedule. If you drop the ball, then your advisor and others in the lab will miss important publication deadlines, or will get scooped by researchers elsewhere, or will be unable to take the next step that was depending on you.
So, don't start doing research with the idea that it's something "extra" that may or may not work out. This is not an advanced course that you can just drop or do poorly in. Unless your advisor agrees otherwise, you are a critical player in the mission—you have a responsibility not to let others down. Remember, someone is taking a chance on you.
I heard once that your boyfriend or girlfriend will ask increasingly tough questions as your relationship ages:
Your advisor may also ask these questions. At first, he/she'll be happy that he/she attracted a smart student to work on a problem that needed working on. But he/she may sour if he/she comes to feel that he/she's wasting his/her time on you, or would have been wiser to assign the project to someone else.
You too are giving up time from your other activities (including classwork!) to do this. So what do you get out of it?
Most important, you get research experience. This is exceptionally important if you are considering doing a Ph.D.
The Ph.D. puts you on a track to focus on research for the next 5+ years and possibly for your whole life. Are you sure you want to get married to research? Maybe, but try dating research first before you commit.
Ph.D. programs are looking for students who are already proven researchers. Grades are not so strongly correlated with research success. The most crucial part of your application is letters from one or more credible faculty who can attest—with lots of supporting detail—that you have the creativity, intelligence, enthusiasm, productivity, technical background, and interpersonal and intrapersonal skills to do a great Ph.D. with your future advisor.
A good friend of mine in college was taken under the wing of a senior professor in a different department. She was a demanding taskmaster, and my friend ended up spending much more time working in her lab than he expected. But it changed his life. She insisted that he apply to grad school in her field, and she got him accepted to a top Ph.D. program. He became a professor and is now the chairman of a department at a highly respected school, where he enjoys doing research with his own undergraduates.
Even if you are not considering a Ph.D., you will learn a great deal from working closely with a professor. Often you may be working with the world's leading expert on a particular topic—that's the main criterion for tenure here. (So our tenured faculty have passed this bar at some point, and most of our untenured faculty are successfully building a case that they will do so.)
Students don't always realize how respected and innovative our faculty are within their own subfields, but that's why you chose to attend a highly-ranked research university. Your advisor may or may not be a great classroom teacher, but he/she has shown himself/herself to be extremely good at working with graduate students to produce papers that advance the field. What you'll learn from doing that is quite different from what you'll learn in the classroom.
Here's some basic advice targeted at new research students. There are also many webpages about how to be a "good grad student," which should also be useful to undergrads doing research.
Make plenty of room. In order to make research your first priority, you may need to reduce your courseload or extracurriculars. This is worth discussing with both your academic advisor and your research advisor.
Find out what the deadlines are. For example, there may be a target for submitting a paper to a particular conference. When planning for deadlines, bear in mind that everything will take twice as long as you expect—or four times as long if you've never done it before. Often a paper takes roughly a year of work for a grad student (if it includes experiments), although they may be working on other things during that year as well.
Be honest. If you suspect that you may not have time to do justice to the project after all, don't string your advisor along. Take a deep breath, apologize, and explain the situation. Then your advisor can make an informed decision about whether to suspend the project, give it to someone else, get a grad student involved, etc. This is better than a slow burn of agitation on both sides.
Prepare for meetings. Establish a fixed time for weekly meetings with your advisor (and perhaps with senior students). Bring results, questions, and an agenda to your weekly meeting.
Make weekly progress. Set goalposts, and be sure you make real progress from week to week. Use your meeting time or email each week to make sure that you agree on what the goal for next week is.
Take the initiative. Be somewhat self-directed—find readings, play around with code, do mini-experiments. But do keep your advisor posted by email.
"Write the paper first." The evolving paper is a way of organizing and sharing your thoughts and hammering out details. New ideas (including future plans) can go into that document, or appendices to it.
Experimental logbook. This is a file recording the questions you asked, the experiments you ran to answer them (including the command-line details needed to reproduce them perfectly), the results, and your analysis of the results.
Notes on your reading, including reading you plan to do. This should be organized by paper and/or by topic, aimed at helping you quickly recover the important points.
Planning. Keep some kind of to-do list and time planning system that helps you set and discharge goals and track your effectiveness (see the LifeHacker website for some options).
Again, be honest. Be very clear at all times about what you do and don't understand. Don't fake it. It's okay to say you're confused or don't know something; you need to ask questions to get unconfused. Also be clear about what you have and haven't done.
Pick a topic of mutual interest that you can handle. This is a matter for careful discussion at the start of the relationship.
Be explicit about what you need from your advisor. You can take some initiative in shaping the kind of advising relationship that will work best for you. Every advisor has a typical advising style, which is some compromise between his/her advising philosophy, his/her personality, your personality, and the realities of limited time. But if you need a different kind of guidance or a different way of organizing your relationship, ask for it. Most advisors will appreciate the initiative and can adapt to some extent.
Know how to ask for help. If you feel you would benefit from closer guidance, say: "Please tell me exactly what you want me to do by next Wednesday and I will have it done." If you get stuck technically, ask your advisor to help you get unstuck! He/She can write out a more detailed plan for you, give you things to read, ask a senior grad student to work with you, point you to software libraries, etc. Asking the right person can be 100 times faster than doing it yourself.
 This is not homework and getting help is not cheating. Anything that is already known in the field is fair game to reuse (with citations). And people can also help you invent the new stuff, as long as you acknowledge their help appropriately (possibly with co-authorship). Getting them to help you is part of the research.
Get right as much as you can.  For a problem that you intend to fix later, include a note to this effect. This allows the other person to focus their limited time on spotting the problems that were beyond your own horizon.
Be a team player. If there are other people on the project, find out what they're working on. Ask plenty of questions. Get a broader sense of the project beyond your own little corner. Help out where you can.
Share what you do.  The project may live on after you. It's not necessary to keep private files. The best plan is to keep everything valuable in a shared version control repository that you, your advisor, and any other collaborators can browse and edit at any time. (A README file in the repository can describe the layout and list any additional resources, e.g., the URLs of a wiki, a Google Doc, etc.) An issue tracker is also useful. Discuss with your advisor how to set up this kind of project infrastructure, e.g., on github.
Avoid diffusion. As a matter of etiquette, try not to spread your work over many different local directories, repositories, email threads, chat logs, Google documents, etc. For example, when sending email, try to continue on an existing thread where appropriate, rather than starting a new one. Your advisor is juggling more email and projects than you, so will find it helpful to keep related things together.
Keep track of what you've done. You may want to keep some notes on your contributions. You can give these to your advisor when it is time for a letter of recommendation.
Now that you've read this page, you understand more about how to ask a professor about research opportunities.
When to ask (not too early). Usually you'll need to have taken at least a 300- or 400-level course in the appropriate research area. If you don't know basic concepts and terms, then it is hard to even discuss the research problem. Don't expect the professor to teach you the basics in his/her office: that's what the course is for.
Who to ask. If you are doing extremely well in an upper-level course, then talk to the professor about whether he/she knows of any research opportunities in that area. It helps if the professor already has a high opinion of you from good interactions in class and through office hours. (You did go to office hours just to chat about ideas, right?) Even if he/she doesn't have anything for you, he/she may be able to hook you up with a colleague.
How to ask. Advice from Marie desJardins: "Ask the professor about his/her research. Professors love to talk about their research. But don't just sit there and nod. Listen carefully to what he/she's saying, think about it, and respond." He/She is trying to get a conversation going to assess where you can contribute meaningfully.
To help the professor decide where to start the conversation, be sure to show him/her your resume and your transcript. Also describe the kinds of problems you excel at. Special skills or a remarkable track record may give you a foot in the door. For example, although my main research area is NLP, occasionally I do have problems that don't require much NLP knowledge. Rather, I'm looking for someone who can develop a particular theorem or algorithm, or build a solid piece of system software, or design a beautiful user interface. So in this case, I might consider working with a great student who hasn't taken my NLP course.
How to ask early. If you're not ready to start research yet, it's certainly still okay to ask a professor (or a senior grad student) how you could prepare to do research in his/her area. This might involve taking courses or MOOCs, reading a textbook or papers, or building certain mathematical or programming skills.
When to ask (not too late). Timing is important. Research may not fit neatly into a semester. So approach the professor at least a year before you graduate. This gives you a couple of semesters plus summer and intersession. Hopefully, that's enough time for the professor to find an appropriate role for you and for you to get up to speed, define the problem and approach, do some initial work, refine the ideas, do some more work, fail, think hard, try again, succeed, write and submit a conference paper, revise the paper after acceptance, and present the paper at the conference. It's very common for a research project to take over a year even for a grad student who is doing research full-time!
I'll give the final word to Jorge Chan of PhD Comics:

Composite moduli
Let n be a product of distinct primes p1, p2, ... pk. The Chinese Remainder theorem implies we can solve a polynomial f(x) over each Zpi, and then combine the roots together to find the solutions modulo n. This is because a root a of f(x) in Zn corresponds to (a1, a2, ... ak) ∈ Zp1 × Zp2 × ... × Zpk, where each ai is a root of f(x) in Zpi.

Background
I wrote the following function for use in my pleiotropy
R package.
calc_lod <- function(data, n_mouse){
# define log10detrss0
log10detrss0 <- dplyr::filter(data, marker1 == marker2)
pre1 <- dplyr::group_by(data, marker1)
profile1 <- dplyr::summarise(pre1, profile = min(log10detrss))
pre2 <- dplyr::group_by(data, marker2)
profile2 <- dplyr::summarise(pre2, profile = min(log10detrss))
return(tibble::tibble(lod1 = - n_mouse * (profile1$profile - min(log10detrss0$log10detrss)) / 2,
lod2 = - n_mouse * (profile2$profile - min(log10detrss0$log10detrss))/ 2,
joint = - n_mouse * (log10detrss0$log10detrss - min(log10detrss0$log10detrss)) / 2))
}
I then wanted to include this function in my R package pleiotropy
. However, when I run devtools::check()
for this package, I get a note. Specifically, the note says:
checking R code for possible problems … NOTE
calc_lod: no visible binding for global variable ‘marker1’
calc_lod: no visible binding for global variable ‘marker2’
calc_lod: no visible binding for global variable ‘log10detrss’
Undefined global functions or variables:
log10detrss marker1 marker2
I believe that the note arises because of the nonstandard evaluation methods that the dplyr
R package uses.
I then sought to fix the code so that, on running devtools::check()
, I would not create this note.
For the reader to understand my goals with this function, I will take a moment to describe the inputs to calc_lod
. I use two inputs, data
and n_mouse
. The first, data
, is a tibble with three columns. The columns have the names: marker1
, marker2
, and log10detrss
. Each row represents a unique (ordered) pairing of markers and contains, in the third column, the logarithm of the determinant of the residual sum of squares matrix.
The second input, n_mouse
, is needed for the calculation of LOD scores, as the code demonstrates. It corresponds to the number of mice used in the analysis.
Programming with dplyr
R package
The dplyr
programming vignette is where I started in my efforts to understand dplyr
evaluation methods.
Finding the answer in dplyr
programming vignette
Near the top of the programming vignette, just above the heading “Different Expressions”, the author writes:
If this function is in a package, using .data also prevents R CMD check from giving a NOTE about undefined global variables (provided that you’ve also imported rlang::.data with @importFrom rlang .data).
After a google search, I realized that rlang
is an R package that I’ve never before used. However, I still wasn’t sure exactly how to accomplish what the vignette says is a solution.
I decided to rewrite my function by adding .data$
to the variable names as needed. This led me to have a function that looks like this:
calc_lod <- function(data, n_mouse){
# define log10detrss0
log10detrss0 <- dplyr::filter(data, .data$marker1 == .data$marker2)
pre1 <- dplyr::group_by(data, .data$marker1)
profile1 <- dplyr::summarise(pre1, profile = min(.data$log10detrss))
pre2 <- dplyr::group_by(data, .data$marker2)
profile2 <- dplyr::summarise(pre2, profile = min(.data$log10detrss))
return(tibble::tibble(lod1 = - n_mouse * (profile1$profile - min(log10detrss0$log10detrss)) / 2,
lod2 = - n_mouse * (profile2$profile - min(log10detrss0$log10detrss))/ 2,
joint = - n_mouse * (log10detrss0$log10detrss - min(log10detrss0$log10detrss)) / 2))
}
In re-reading the sentence:
If this function is in a package, using .data also prevents R CMD check from giving a NOTE about undefined global variables (provided that you’ve also imported rlang::.data with @importFrom rlang .data).
I guessed that I needed to add to my R script for calc_lod a line of notation for roxygen2.
With this line, my calc_lod.R file - which contains only the function calc_lod
- looks like this:
#' Calculate LODs - two profile and one joint - for two traits
#'
#' @param data tibble containing log10determinants of RSS
#' @param n_mouse sample size
#' @export
#' @importFrom rlang .data
calc_lod <- function(data, n_mouse){
# define log10detrss0
log10detrss0 <- dplyr::filter(data, .data$marker1 == .data$marker2)
pre1 <- dplyr::group_by(data, .data$marker1)
profile1 <- dplyr::summarise(pre1, profile = min(.data$log10detrss))
pre2 <- dplyr::group_by(data, .data$marker2)
profile2 <- dplyr::summarise(pre2, profile = min(.data$log10detrss))
return(tibble::tibble(lod1 = - n_mouse * (profile1$profile - min(log10detrss0$log10detrss)) / 2,
lod2 = - n_mouse * (profile2$profile - min(log10detrss0$log10detrss))/ 2,
joint = - n_mouse * (log10detrss0$log10detrss - min(log10detrss0$log10detrss)) / 2))
}
It’s important to notice that I manually added the line
#' @importFrom rlang .data
so that roxygen2, the R package that assembles the NAMESPACE file, would know to import .data
from R package rlang
.
Finally, I added rlang
to the pleiotropy
package dependencies by typing:
devtools::use_package("rlang")
Now, when I run devtools::check()
in the pleiotropy
package directory, I see that there is no note produced:
R CMD check results
0 errors | 0 warnings | 0 notes

[gecode-users] Some Feedback on GecodeJ

Hi,
I would like to say, that the problems stated in this letter might be
valid - the Gecode/J code is not too Java-like.
In our Gecode project one of our first ideas was to create some
wrappers and hide the static code, and provide Javadoc...
We were thinking about it how would it be good to do a possible
rewrite - but we didn't have any time for that.
But I think, these critics are absolutely valid, and would help a lot
for the Java port. And I join Andrew by saying, that Gecode is even
with these small problems a very nice program, but it would help for
users with Java knowledge if some of these ideas could be addressed.
Thank you for your work,
Zoltán Ujhelyi

nbinteract
is a Python package that provides a command-line tool to generate interactive web pages from Jupyter notebooks. It allows Jupyter widgets to remain interactive even when the notebook is converted to static HTML by using Binder servers as the computational backend.
nbinteract
also provides Python functions for simple, interactive plots. These interactions are driven by data, not callbacks, allowing authors to focus on the logic of their programs.
nbinteract
is useful for:
From the command line:
# Run on the command line to convert the notebook into a publishable HTML page.
#
# nbinteract {NOTEBOOK.ipynb} -s {BINDER_SPEC}
#
# Replace {BINDER_SPEC} with a Binder spec in the format
# {username}/{repo}/{branch} (e.g. SamLau95/nbinteract-image/master).
# The branch is optional; if omitted, defaults to `main`
#
# Replace {NOTEBOOK.ipynb} with the name of the notebook file to convert.
#
# For example:
nbinteract homepage.ipynb -s SamLau95/nbinteract-image
After initializing a GitHub repo and running nbinteract init
, you may omit the Binder spec and simply write:
nbinteract homepage.ipynb
For more information on Binder specs and conversion, see the tutorial which has a complete walkthrough on publishing a notebook to the web.
Most plotting functions from other libraries (e.g. matplotlib
) take data as input. nbinteract
's plotting methods instead take in functions that return data.
In the example below, the normal
function generates data that we then plot using nbi.hist()
.
import numpy as np
import nbinteract as nbi
def normal(mean, sd):
'''Returns 1000 points drawn at random fron N(mean, sd)'''
return np.random.normal(mean, sd, 1000)
normal(10, 1.0)
# Plot aesthetics
options = {
'xlim': (-2, 12),
'ylim': (0, 0.7),
'bins': 20
}
# Pass in the `normal` function and let user change mean and sd.
# Whenever the user interacts with the sliders, the `normal` function
# is called and the returned data are plotted.
nbi.hist(normal, mean=(0, 10), sd=(0, 2.0), options=options)
# Clicking the Show widget button below loads all widgets on the page.
# Widgets will automatically load for all subsequent pages until you close
# the tab/window.
Simulations are easy to create using nbinteract
. In this simulation, we roll a die and plot the running average of the rolls. We can see that with more rolls, the average gets closer to the expected value: 3.5.
rolls = np.random.choice([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], size=300)
averages = np.cumsum(rolls) / np.arange(1, 301)
def x_vals(num_rolls):
return range(num_rolls)
# The function to generate y-values gets called with the
# x-values as its first argument.
def y_vals(xs):
return averages[:len(xs)]
nbi.line(x_vals, y_vals, num_rolls=(1, 300))
Using pip
:
pip install nbinteract
# The next two lines can be skipped for notebook version 5.3 and above
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix bqplot
You may now import the nbinteract
package in Python code and use the nbinteract
CLI command to convert notebooks to HTML pages.

using the links in the sidebar.

UKCloud Limited (“UKC”) and Virtual Infrastructure Group Limited (“VIG”) (together “the Companies”) – in Compulsory Liquidation
On 25 October 2022, the Companies were placed into Liquidation with the Official Receiver appointed as Liquidator and J Robinson and A M Hudson simultaneously appointed as Special Managers to manage the liquidation process on behalf of the Official Receiver.
Further information regarding the Liquidations can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/virtual-infrastructure-group-limited-and-ukcloud-limited-information-for-creditors-and-interested-parties
Contact details:
For any general queries relating to the Liquidations please email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For customer related queries please email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For supplier related queries please email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Cross Domain Security Zone Blueprint
Overview
Our customers' requirements range from relatively low-security solutions that are natively accessible on the internet, to solutions that must be more restricted and accessible only over government community networks such as the PSN, JANET or HSCN.
To meet these varying needs, we've implemented two security domains on our platform, both of which are accredited for hosting systems and data classified at OFFICIAL:
Assured OFFICIAL security domain ― directly connected to our DDoS-protected internet, PSN, JANET and HSCN networks
Elevated OFFICIAL security domain — natively connected only to the PSN and MCN, it benefits from increased security as all users and devices that can access this security domain are known and trusted
The Government Digital Service (GDS) strategy of "internet is okay" is dividing opinion across government. On one hand, many applications that were initially PSN connected and only accessible by a closed community are now being connected to the internet, pushing security from the physical network layer to the services themselves, reducing cost and time to delivery. On the other hand, a lot of data is considered too sensitive to be stored in a directly internet-connected environment, where the attack vector of an internet connection creates too much risk.
Where customers choose to host their sensitive data in a non-internet connected environment, but still require internet connectivity for some aspects of their service, they can connect their application components which are on Assured OFFICIAL to application components that on Elevated OFFICIAL.
To connect these components, a customer must use a Cross Domain Security Zone (CDSZ), which provides a controlled interconnection between the lower-security domain (Assured OFFICIAL) and the higher-security domain (Elevated OFFICIAL).
This Blueprint draws on our experience of working with government customers and NCSC to help architect cross-domain solutions.
Key principles
The role of the customer's accreditor
We provide our Assured OFFICIAL and Elevated OFFICIAL security domains. Our customers are responsible for the accreditation of the applications they run on either security domain, including any specific use of the UKCloud Cross Domain Security Zone.
The customer's accreditor is responsible for identifying, assessing and mitigating the specific risks to their individual solution that are created by the use of the UKCloud Cross Domain Security Zone. As part of the customer's own assurance activities, we recommend engaging a CLAS or CCP Security Professional and have an IT Security Health Check carried out by a CHECK test provider.
Effective risk mitigation
When reviewing a UKCloud Cross Domain Security Zone application document set, submitted for approval by a customer, UKCloud will expect to see a number of controls included in the solution to adequately mitigate the risks of exposing an application that uses particularly sensitive data to the internet.
It isn't necessarily the case that all of these controls will be needed for a solution to be approved, but aiming to include as many of them as possible will help to ensure that the approval process requires less scrutiny, and that the solution can move to the implementation phase much more quickly.
Listed below are the controls we believe UKCloud and customer SIROs will expect to see in place when they review a solution that requires the UKCloud Cross Domain Security Zone capability.
Controls
Protective Monitoring and possibly a Security Operations Centre (SOC)
Information Assurance Standard (IS) 1 and IS2 Technical Risk Assessment
IS1 is a government standard for risk assessment
IS2 is a government standard for risk management and accreditation
Risk Management and Accreditation Documentation Set (RMADS)
Host-based intrusion detection (HIDS)
- Agents installed within virtual machines (VMs) that collect log data and alert on unusual behaviour or potentially forward to a SOC
IT Security Health Check (CHECK) test
- Penetration test performed by an NCSC CHECK-approved tester
Content type checking
- Security policy defining which content types are permitted (binary/xml/json etc)
Deep content inspection
- Inspection of an HTTP request/response body, including, for example, things such as XML Schema validation or field length checking
Data loss prevention
- Software that prevents data leaving an organisation without permission
Anti-virus
- Consider how definitions are downloaded and made available to VMs
Cross Domain Security Zone service options
The UKCloud Cross Domain Security Zone enables customers to securely transfer data between the UKCloud Assured OFFICIAL security domain and the UKCloud Elevated OFFICIAL security domain using NCSC-approved cross-domain security patterns.
There are two service options available:
Secure Remote Access. We provide a self-service remote access solution so that customers who do not have a PSN or MCN connection to their business premises may have a method of managing their environments within Elevated OFFICIAL. Note that this is for management purposes only, and not for end-user access to the Elevated security domain. This service is not covered within this Blueprint.
Walled Garden. Self-service management of a Cross Domain Security Zone Walled Garden, enabling customers to implement security applications of their choice. We provide an assurance wrap by ensuring customers use appropriate risk management to understand and mitigate identified risks.
How the Walled Garden works
UKCloud Walled Garden is a single-tenant walled garden architecture, within a separate zone of the UKCloud platform that customers can populate with VMs to allow communication between applications on the Assured OFFICIAL and Elevated OFFICIAL security domains.
Customers have full control of the services within their walled garden, enabling them to transmit communications between security domains using any protocols required. Protocols and traffic include RDP, SSH, binaries, and management protocols such as SNMP and NMI.
When a customer implements a walled garden, they need to take precautions to ensure the integrity and availability of data across both security domains. These precautions must be documented in the Cross Domain Security Zone submission. Traffic through the walled garden can originate from either Assured or Elevated OFFICIAL.
The walled garden can be a target for single or multiple application servers in either platform, and can contain as many virtual machines as are needed to service application requests across the walled garden. The figure below shows an example of a possible setup, but it should be used as a starting point only; customers may want to populate their walled garden with more services to meet their needs.
It's important to highlight that there is no pre-defined architectural pattern that a solution must fit into. To help, UKCloud can make recommendations about the architectures that are likely to be approved by the customer accreditors. However, this will be guidance only — each solution will be approved by the end-customer data owner before UKCloud will allow the customer to build.
Assured OFFICIAL security domain
The Assured OFFICIAL security domain should have:
Firewall rules to tightly control traffic to the applications which will talk across the walled garden
Anti-virus
Protective monitoring
Additional techniques to further secure the solution should be used if possible:
OS and application hardening to reduce services running on the server, decreasing the surface of vulnerability
Logging of events on the server for auditing purposes, with logs included in the protective monitoring solution
Content checking to ensure the integrity of data and provide a defence against content attacks
It is recommended that it should have an anti-virus product that differs from other anti-virus products used in the overall solution.
Walled Garden
The Walled Garden consists of a single-tenant walled garden architecture which should include:
A protocol break and re-creation, for example by using a reverse proxy
Inspection of the data to validate the message structure or message content, to ensure the messages used to convey the application data are correctly encoded, and to confirm that the content within the messages are as expected
IDS and logging of events on the VMs for auditing purposes, and alert generation for messages that fail the validation process as part of a protective monitoring solution
Anti-virus
Other considerations for the Walled Garden include:
OS and application hardening to reduce services running on the server, decreasing the surface of vulnerability
Implementation of release controls to enforce a whitelist of the data types and content permitted for release through the Walled Garden
Direction control for data moving from either high-to-low or low-to-high domains; for example, best practice is to prevent 'pull' requests from the application in the low domain
It's good practice to run non-SSL traffic so the Walled Garden doesn't need to decrypt and re-encrypt to inspect the messages.
Customers can have different VMs within a single walled garden instance servicing different requests to span the two domains. For example, a customer could have software updates and protective monitoring traffic being serviced by the same VMs within the walled garden.
Elevated OFFICIAL security domain
The Elevated OFFICIAL security domain should have:
Firewall rules to tightly control traffic to the applications that will talk across the Walled Garden
Post-authentication to enable access control and auditing
Anti-virus
Protective monitoring with IDS
Additional techniques to further secure the solution should be used if possible:
OS and application hardening to reduce services running on the server, decreasing the surface of vulnerability
Logging of events on the VMs for auditing purposes, with logs included in the protective monitoring solution
Content checking to ensure the integrity of data and provide a defence against content attacks
It should also be configured with an anti-virus product that differs from other anti-virus products used in the overall solution.
Networking
Applications that communicate across the Walled Garden should be placed on a dedicated network segment that can be securely segregated from other segments using firewall rules, managed through the cloud technology's virtual firewalls such as NSX edges, or customers' own virtual firewalls.
The inter-environment connections between the firewalls, from Assured OFFICIAL to the Walled Garden, and from the Walled Garden to Elevated OFFICIAL are all controlled by UKCloud to ensure that correct connectivity is maintained.
The networking within the customer's environments, within Assured, Walled Garden and Elevated are the customer's responsibility.
Customers can choose between two ways of routing traffic to the walled garden, and must state their choice before implementation:
To terminate the connection to the walled garden at the edge, and then NAT the traffic into the walled garden
To route the traffic directly into the walled garden
The figure below shows the network topography for a typical walled garden.
High availability
The UKCloud Cross Domain Security Zone is highly available within a single site. If site-level resilience is required, customers must buy a second Cross Domain Security Zone, which will be configured with the same policy as the primary site.
The two instances can then be used:
Active/passive via application configuration updates (for example change Walled Garden target in the event of a failure)
In active/active configuration, which is perhaps more useful
If Cross Domain Security Zone instances will be used in an active/active configuration, the customer needs to implement a load balancer in the Assured or Elevated tier (depending on the direction of the traffic flow) to send requests to both Cross Domain Security Zones.
The approval process
Every UKCloud Cross Domain Security Zone implementation requires customer Data Owner and UKCloud approval before the customer can carry out any implementation work.
The approval process is shown below. More information is available in the UKCloud Cross Domain Security Zone application process.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 Initial Contact | Customer contacts UKCloud to register interest in the CDSZ service. This can be through My Calls or direct contact with a Sales representative, Service Delivery Manager or Cloud Architect. |
| 2a Self-Assessment | Customer creates the document pack to illustrate the solution design and provide evidence that all necessary sign-offs and compliance have been obtained. |
| 2b Assurance Wrap Review | Customer creates the document pack with assistance from the UKCloud compliance team and Cloud Architect. |
| 3 Design Review | Customer presents the technical solution to the Cloud Architect for advice and feedback. |
| 4 Application Submission | Customer raises a Service Request and submits the document pack. |
| 5 Service Implementation | UKCloud provisions the service and the customer implements their solution. |
| 6 On-Going Compliance | Once the implementation is in operation, the customer is responsible for ensuring continuing compliance with Security Operating procedures (SyOps) and other security obligations. UKCloud annually prompts customers to review the existing document pack and provide updated information for any changes to design or approvals. |
Required documents
When you apply for a Cross Domain Security Zone service, you must provide the following documents to show that you have identified and mitigated for any risks:
Details of your proposed implementation that covers the intended design in the CDSZ, the Assured and Elevated VDCs you are connecting to and data flows.
Evidence (for example, email or signed document) of acceptance of risk from the data owning organisation. This should also indicate if this acceptance is a Tell Us Once agreement that will also apply to future CDSZ implementations by the customer on behalf of the data owner.
If a Tell Us Once agreement is already in place between the customer and the data owner, this evidence is not required, but the customer should indicate that such an agreement is in place so that UKCloud can confirm against our list of trusted partners for the data owner.
An explicit statement, as part of the Service Request, that the solution has been reviewed by a named UKCloud Cloud Architect or that you do not require a review. The named Cloud Architect must provide review notes as evidence that the review took place.
If you're connecting to a PSN Protected enabled VDC, proof of PSN compliance (a copy of PSN CoCo or PSN CoP).

AI-generated art has made great strides in recent years and today, astonishing results can be achieved. However, sometimes these results still look a bit...strange. Perfect for a collection of creepy birds for Halloween! All artwork in this collection is fully AI-generated with VQGAN+CLIP, no pixel has been altered. Species descriptions were created entirely using the DeepAI text generator API. Welcome to the "Scary Aviary", but beware, some of our residents are really spooky.
The Mystic Macaw is an unassuming little bird, and unlike many other similar species, it does not have a distinctive, highly developed body or a distinctive plumage. While this can be seen on its back, its feathers are not sharp at all and it does not usually use its large forelimbs for covering. This may be due to the smaller size of its body. This bird is commonly referred to as "Amber Cat" in the wild. It can be seen in most of Australia, in most parts of Tasmania, New South Wales and Western Australia. It also lives in areas that are not suitable for its natural habitat, as a consequence of its large size.
The Eerie Eagle is a very common and very well-groomed animal that is considered very beautiful to look at or to keep in your garden. Its unique shape allows it to stand upright on its head, and the tail. The Eerie eagle is similar in size and shape to the other eagle species and has bright, and slightly yellow beak lines and bright feathers. The Eerie eagle is extremely agile and will fly more quickly than other animals. Due to their feather coloration, they are found especially in dense, densely-packed or sparsely-grown areas, especially on water or sand.
The Pumpkin Pelican has an extremely thick, very large, dark brown belly and has some dark markings at the tip of the abdomen. The pumpkin has four distinct, orange-brown glands on one leg. These glands are very small but very large for the adult. The pumpkins can also look like human ears. They have short, spiky, straight, and almost black, very large eyes. The pumpkins have a distinctive dark gray fur that is very long and is extremely large. They have no sharp or pointed teeth.
The Haunted Hummingbird is a large, red-headed hummingbird that roams the forest, often chasing squirrels and wildflowers. The creature is large, about 6' tall and weighs about 75 lbs. Haunted Hummingbirds are very friendly, and take care of any animal around them. Behavior: Not safe, a very nervous bird that is highly social. Not as territorial, avoiding strangers as much as possible.
The Phantasmal Pheasant is a common breed of giant, large furry bird. It is very hairy though, and is often black. In summer, the feathers will start to form on the back of the wings. Often it is white. These feathers are similar to wings on a cuddly bird such as a duck, a pheasant or a frog. It is thought this occurs due to the lack of female feathers. Usually the head of the flying Pheasant is longer than the hind tail. It is also much longer sometimes weighing less, and can be mistaken for a frog.
The Apocalyptic Antbird uses naturalist techniques to destroy the natural structures and resources surrounding its territory. In the wild these creatures consume many wildlife, including plants and primates. Although their numbers have improved over nearly 20 years of study, the Apocalyptic Antbird has only recently begun to gain widespread public attention, and there are serious concerns of the potential harm it causes and how it can benefit people and the environment.
The Creepy Crow is a brownish-colored bird with a short head that can often be seen with a pair of white-shouldered feathers. It spends its time perched atop large, curved, yellow, gray trees near streams or in shrubs. The bird, which is called the Cramp, spends many of its seasons sleeping in their nests. It is a solitary bird, typically seen in late summer and early fall. It is most often seen walking upright on or next to trees or in its home habitat.
The Ghostly Goshawk is the rarest creature in the world. It's an elongated biped that lacks a spine, and has short pointed wings and a long, triangular tail. It has long, slimy legs that stand only a few inches, and a pair of long, spiny antennae. The eyes are narrow at only a few inches, but it's quite large, and its ears are more prominent.
The Otherworldly Owl is a beautiful, mysterious owl seen flying through the air and moving in the night. It is more elusive than flying and has a low density of water. As such, it is quite uncommon for it to see humans. The owl was created to scare certain people, usually members of the Black Order and was a common sight as an enemy of various people, some even being criminals. As such, its existence is very rare. However, it is also somewhat fascinating. The Owl can easily be seen wandering the streets in search of food and often being caught by passers-by.
The Scary Swallow was previously found on the island of Zootopia and is one of the most fearsome wild animals of the world, even during daytime hours.
