It had been a long time since I had experimented with Methylone, and I was finally graciously given the chance to experience that wonderful beauty in everything again, little did I know, I was about to have one the best experiences of my entire life.
I'll start by adding a little background: For about a week now, I have been spending time with a girl (A) that I've been friends with for around six months. She has always been very special to me, but one day after laying a blanket in the grass at a playground near her apartment, I asked her if she'd be mad at me if I kissed her. She replied, ''of course not.'' So I did. I had always liked her to some extent, but her best friend (G) has been infatuated with me for years, and we had been off and on. To be honest, I am really connected to (G) as friends, but I have only had a couple bouts of actually being attracted to her. It is clear to me that it would never work. So, as you can see, there are some issues that need to be resolved.
We had a great time all week. There was not a single moment that was uncomfortable. It was almost as if we had been friends for years. We were getting really into each other in a romantic way as the days went past, so I decided to ask her if she would like to share something really special with me. I explained to her what Methylone was, and she agreed that it would be a pleasant idea.
It was quite difficult to wait until Monday to do this given that I received it quite a few days before. I've used it around six times, and I have had nothing but positive experiences with it, so it was very tempting. However, I cannot express how vital and worthwhile it was to wait.
See, at first, I wanted just me and (A) to use it, but after thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that we aren't ready for that sort of thing. Plus, we haven't had any sexual relations yet because I believe it is far more important as well as enjoyable to have intimacy instead of passion (in an erotic nature) or even a fusion of the two in the beginning of a relationship. So, we decided to invite my best friend (J) of course, as well as our new good friends (J2 and L).
(J2 and L) are a couple, and they've been together for several years. I actually knew (J2) for quite a few years, but just lately we have been getting to be close friends. I feel very comfortable around both of them, and we all share plenty of interests. As of right now, we've pretty much been tripping buddies, herb indulgers (Cannabis, Blue Lotus, Kratom, and plenty of others), mushroom pickers, and we share an appreciation of music, but I have a feeling they are going to be among my best friends before long. (J2) and I both play guitar as well. He knows a few good classical scales, and I am very fond of his style even though he thinks he sucks. ''smiles''
Anyway, we decided that the lake where (J) lives would be a good choice for the setting, as this is where I have had plenty of other psychedelic experiences. Plus, it was a beautiful day for swimming. We consumed the capsules as soon as we arrived. My capsule contained 175mgs, while (J)'s and (A)'s contained 150mgs, as it was their first time with this chemical. (J2) ate some Psilocybe caerulipes mushrooms. I'm not actually sure if (L) ate any or not.
We hung around outside of (J)'s house as the drug started to show its effects because there is a nice view from the porch. It didn't come on in one big rush like it had in the past at times, but I think it was because I usually had some more intense female stimulation in the beginning when I first started using Methylone.
(A) and I were changing into our swimming wear when the effects became very notable. She came back out on the porch and sat on one of the benches. She began to rub lotion all over herself, and expressed how good it felt. (J) and I were looking at each other with awe of the genuine euphoria. I was a bit surprised, as (J) doesn't typically enjoy Empathogenic drugs. However, this time, he seemed to be quite content. The social effect became very apparent, as at times I think we all forgot that we had even taken a drug.
Soon after this, I walked over to (A) who was standing at the end of the porch looking out at the view. She kept talking about how beautiful everything was and that she really needed to see what she was seeing. She has had some very unfortunate personal things happen to her that has caused a lot of chaos in her life, and when I looked into her eyes, I saw it all wash away. It was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen.
While her and I were sitting on the porch swing, we looked into each otherís eyes and had a conversation with each other without saying a single word. It was something that words could never explain. My mind was flooding with empathy, and I felt as though a flower bloomed inside of my heart, and it appeared in her eyes. It was the moment where I actually realized how beautiful she really is. ''Wow'' was all I could think.
There was this feeling within me that was so pure and so awesome that words could never describe it. Peace. Joy. Contentment. I was ''one'' with everything, a ++++ on Shulgin's scale. I am actually shedding tears just writing about it. This drug tore all of the walls I had built in my mind from my recent Heroin addiction, and I loved myself. I felt the acceptence and approval of God, and nothing else mattered. When I looked at (A), I saw the same thing in her. She was so peaceful and happy. All of the stuff she had been dealing with in her life was gone for the moment, and she was allowed for the first time in a while to enjoy life to the fullest. At one point, she picked a Maple leaf from a nearby tree, and she felt the most profound empathy for all of nature.
As for me, I was just floating back and forth conversating between people. (J) was loving the whole thing. He described it as one of the best feelings he's ever felt. The conversations I had were intensely meaningful, and when me and (A) touched each other I felt this awesome energy flowing through me. It was intense, yet it was so peaceful and comfortable at the same time. Man, the feeling I felt when I looked into her eyes. We had connected like that before, but this time with all of our personal barriers down, it was divine. She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever met.
After this, (A) and I went down to (J)'s dock to swim. (A) looked so cute in her bathing suit. When we got down there, we jumped in, and the feeling of the water on my skin almost immobilized me. I wasn't really intoxicated at all in a conventional sense, but my heart was wide open, and the energy was flowing out of the surface of my skin. The water felt so wonderful. It was as if there was nothing beneath us, and we were just floating in an endless space. (A) and I shared the sides of a floatation tube, and we just smiled at each other talking about how fun this was. We touched each other and cuddled in the water a little, and that made my eyes roll around a little from the euphoria.
The sun was beaming down when we got out, and the warmth was radiating throughout my body. The Methylone was dialing down at this point, but it sure didn't come crashing down. At one point, we decided to fish as well. I ended up putting a crank bait lure on, and I caught a Black Crappie and a Rock Bass within just a few minutes. (A) made a necklace out of daisy flowers and another for (L) out of some purple clover flowers. They looked really cute. Hippy cute.
(J) asked me if I had any Benzodiazepines other than Clorazepate, which I usually have, because he is sensitive to stimulants, but I didn't have any. However, my Mother had given me four 5mg Oxycodone pills after I asked her as a precaution in case I experienced any negative after effects. I gave him two, and he was very surprised. At this point, I knew I wouldn't need them, so I planned to give them back to my Mother, as she does need them. Jimmy almost got teary-eyed at the fact that I've changed so much since I've been clean (only a little over a month), and I just chose not to take Opiates even though I had them. My Mother was actually shocked when I gave them back to her!
Not too long after that, we went back up to (J)'s. When we got there, we smoked some Cannabis, and this prolonged the experience greatly. Then (J) was off to see his girlfriend.
On the way back to (J2 and L's) appartment, we listened to A Perfect Circle's ''Thirteenth Step'' album. The enhancement of sound was very apparent from the Methylone and the Cannabis. (A) and I were really getting into the lyrics. She is really deep when it comes to poetry, art, and music.
Once we got to (J2 and L's) appartment, we smoked some 15x Blue Lotus resin, which feels similar to Opium and we smoked some Cannabis. (A) and I just cuddled on the couch, as we all talked amongst ourselves. Then, there was a knock on the door. (J) showed up because his girlfriend went to sleep shortly after he arrived, and he told me that he had to see me again. He was somewhat overwhelmed by how much positive fun we had in the past before our struggle with drug addiction and how much this night resembled the way we used to hang out. I think everyone that ingested the Methylone was extremely relaxed and in awe of the experience we just had.
(A) and I went back over to her appartment shortly after conversating a bit. I made some tea with Blue Lily petals for us while she took a shower. At one point, I walked over to the mirror, and I was amazed at what I saw. Me. 100% Me. I couldn't even so much as to think of how disgusted I was at what I had done to myself with drugs leading up to this because for the first time in three years I felt good about myself. I found that the Methylone's effects had sped up the process of acceptence. It felt so good to see myself in the light that I used to before my fall, and I cried. It was true healing, and I felt God's presence in all of it. Even when I caught the fish I felt that way. I was actually enjoying life again. Fishing is a huge passion of mine, and it was almost taken away from me because I chose to get high over the things that I love.
The rest of the night was spent cuddling with (A) and kissing her. Her kisses were absolutely magical. Since all of our mental walls were down, we were able to express things to each other, some that were necessary and some that were just feelings we had about each other that we were too nervous to express before.
(A) and I went to a Christian university the next day so I could show her the stations of the cross. This is a path in the woods where there are crosses placed in the ground at certain points with carvings in stone of the stages of Christ's crucifixion next to them. The drug just seemed to draw me closer to what I walked away from. My own heart. (A) was being very silent, as I could see it in her eyes that she was feeling empathy towards the whole thing. We talked almost all day about the experience and ''us,'' and I feel that it brought us very close together for a reason whether our dating relationship lasts or not.
Overall, the main part of the experience lasted around surprisingly 4-5 hours, but I still had plenty of mental effects throughout most of the next day. It was one of the best experiences of my life, as well as brought Methylone onto my list of favorite drugs. It will never take the place of MDA in my heart, but the experience was above and beyond most things. It was so ''clean'' that it was almost not drug-like. It felt genuine. The feelings I experienced were real and without distortion. I just needed to tune into that side of me, as I have become hardened and desensitized by my addiction. I don't know how (J) felt about it in the end, but me and (A) certainly needed to see that.

Age of Empires 4 won’t have microtransactions or in-app purchases
by Ian BoudreauAge of Empires 4 will be arriving with a new business model, giving players the option to either outright purchase the game or play it as part of Microsoft’s subscription-based Game Pass service. But one thing it won’t have is microtransactions or in-app purchases.
“The idea of microtransactions in a real-time strategy game isn’t a thing,” said Age of Empires creative director Adam Isgreen at XO19 in London. “DLC, expansions – all of that is things that we’re going to be exploring for Age 4.”
In fact, Isgreen said Microsoft’s new dedicated Age of Empires studio World’s Edge is looking into expansion content for all the Age of Empires games, which includes Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, which launched this past week.
As far as what that expansion content will look like, Isgreen says that’s in many ways down to the games’ player communities. As an example, he said, new civilisations probably won’t be coming to Age of Empires II, since it already has 35.
“Our pro players are even like, please don’t add more civilisations, please do other things,” he said.
“But we want to have those conversations with the community, to figure out what we can add,” he said. “What are the things they want to see in the game? Things like game modes.”
Isgreen says they’ll be starting those conversations up with fans as the team shifts its focus to Age of Empires III, and that the approach for Age of Empires 4 will be no different.
“While we definitely already have ideas in terms of where we want to go past Age 4, in terms of expansions and stuff, a lot of that is going to be driven by the community and the players, where they want to see the game going,” Isgreen explained.
We still don’t know when the Age of Empires 4 release date is going to be, but in the meantime you can check out our Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition review.


Brutalism is a hot trend in web design, and this framework is a free, open source framework for building brutal websites!
Brutalist Framework is developed by Brad Fogelstrom. Having always been a fan of brutalist architecture, he was inspired to create this project.
Brutalism = C.R.U.D.E.
When thinking of brutalism, think CRUDE:
Cynically confrontational
Roughly raw & rugged
Uncomfortably ugly & unpolished
Deliberately daring & damaging
Extremely exasperated & embittered
Brutalist web design is the anti-conventional approach to traditional web design principles.  Creative possibilities are endless!


Skrumble Chats are exposed through the Chat
class, which has a number of static methods to find or create chats. Chats can either be between two users, called Private Chats, or with 1 or more users, called Group Chats.
Note: These tutorials assume that you already have a user that is logged-in to the socket. Where necessary, we'll refer to them as
myUser
.
Finding chats
Chats can either be loaded individually by ID with Chat.get()
, or a list of all chats can be loaded with Chat.getAll()
.
import {
Chat
} from '@skrumble/js-sdk';
// Load the first 100 chats visible to this user
var allChats = await Chat.getAll({
limit: 100,
skip: 0
})
// allChats now has a list of every chat, so we can do things like ...
allChats.map((chat) => {
// logging info...
if (chat.type == "private") {
console.log(`Private chat loaded! Message count: ${chat.messages.length}`);
} else if (chat.type == "group") {
console.log(`Group ${chat.name} loaded! Message count: ${chat.messages.length}`);
}
// ... or listening for events/messages
// see below for handling these events
chat.on('message', incomingMessageHandler);
chat.on('updated', chatUpdatedHandler);
})
// Or load an individual chat, if you know the ID....
var myChat = await Chat.get({
id: "abc123..",
message_limit: 1000,
message_skip: 0
})
// ... and it returns a single Chat object
console.log(myChat.name);
Creating chats
Creating and updating chats both use the Chat.save()
method. If a Chat object has the properties id
and created_at
set, then the SDK assumes that the chat already exists and attempts to update it using the ID. If either of those fields are unset, then the SDK will assume that it's a new chat, and will attempt to create it instead.
import {
Chat
} from '@skrumble/js-sdk';
// To create a group, specify `type: room`, and `users` is a list of
// TeamUserIDs of who should be added. The user creating the group is always
// added as a participant
let myNewGroupChat = await new Chat({
name: "My awesome group",
purpose: "Let's discuss awesome stuff",
type: "room",
team: myUser.teams[0].id, // This is your logged-in user
users: ['abc123...', 'xyz456...']
}).save();
// Now we can listen for messages
myNewGroupChat.on('message', incomingMessageHandler);
myNewGroupChat.on('updated', chatUpdatedHandler);
// Or to create a private chat, specify `type: private` and the
// list of users should just be the other user. Private chats
// don't have a name or purpose.
let myNewPrivateChat = await new Chat({
type: "private",
team: myUser.teams[0].id, // This is your logged-in user
users: ['abc123...', 'xyz456...']
}).save();
Chat Messages
Once a chat instance has been loaded, messages can be sent and recieved using Chat.on('message')
and Chat.sendMessage()
methods. We'll use the myNewGroupChat
example from above, but this can be any instance of a Chat.
// Listen for new incoming message. `evt` is the raw socket event,
// `message` is the new ChatMessage instance, and `chat` is the Chat instance.
myNewGroupChat.on('message', (evt, message, chat) => {
// The `type` of message will tell us if it's either a
// file, text, or an in-chat event log
switch (message.type) {
case 'text':
// Outputs: New message in mygroupname: Hello world!
console.log(`New message in ${chat.name}: ${message.body}`);
break;
case 'file':
// Outputs: New file in mygroupname: filename.jpg (100kb)
console.log(`New file in ${chat.name}: ${message.file.name} (${message.file.size})`);
break;
// Messages are sent to the chat announcing things like
// users entering/leaving, starting or stopping a group call,
// or renaming the chat. Private chats will also log voicemails from the other user
case 'call_log':
case 'voicemail':
case 'chat_renamed':
case 'chat_purpose':
case 'chat_locked':
case 'participant_added':
case 'particpant_removed':
case 'recording_video':
console.log(`New event log in ${chat.name}: ${message.type}, ${JSON.stringify(message.body)}`);
break;
}
});
Sending a text message simply requires the chat instance, and the text to be sent. Similar to chat creation, sendMessage
returns a promise that's resolved with the ChatMessage instance once the API has successfully sent the message.
Successful outbound messages will also trigger Chat.on('message')
, so user interfaces can respond to outbound messages as well.
If the message fails to send, the promise will be rejected with any applicable error.
myNewGroupChat.on('message', (evt, message, chat) => {
if (message.from == myUser) console.log("Message from myself", message)
// Inbound and outbound messages can use this same callback to update the UI
document.getElementById("chatMessageList").innerHTML = chat.toHTML();
});
// Send the message...
try {
let mySentMessage = await myNewGroupChat.sendMessage("Hello world!")
} catch (err) {
console.error("Message failed to send:", err);
}
Emoji
There are two ways to send emoji inside of chat messages. The unicode glyph (eg, 🎱) can be used, or the shortcode version from EmojiOne (eg :confused:
) can be used. Messages can even use a combination of both:
let emojiMsg = await myChat.sendMessage('hello 👋 :thumbs_up:')
The official Skrumble clients will replace shortcodes with the proper emoji glyphs (eg, :thumbs_up:
into 👍), and any unicode glyphs will be rendered in the local character set.
Mentions
When sending messages with the type of text
, the body can contain mentions of other users or groups. When a user is mentioned, they'll recieve an additional notification that someone has mentioned them in a chat. Users will only receive notifications if the mention happens in a group they have access to. Group mentions simply act as links to other groups.
On the official skrumble desktop client, both types of mentions will be parsed into links that can be hovered-over for more information. Messages can contain as many mentions as desired, and will work in both private and group chats.
The format for mentions is similar to XML. To mention a user, specify their TeamUserID as the user
attribute, and their name as the content of the node. Or to mention a group, specify the Chat ID as the room
attribute, and the group name as the content of the node:
<mention user="abc123...">Lauren Ipsum</mention>
<mention room="123abc...">My Group Name</mention>
Note that only one mention per tag is allowed, but a message can contain an unlimited number of mentions.
When sending, simply add the <mention>
tag to the body of your message:
let userMentionMsg = await myChat.sendMessage(`Hey, <mention user="abc123...">Lauren Ipsum</mention> how's it going!`)
This can be made even easier if you already have the User
object that you're trying to mention:
let user = await User.get({ id: "abc123..." });
let userMentionMsg = await myChat.sendMessage(`Hey, <mention user="${user.id}">${user.first_name} ${user.last_name}</mention> how's it going!`);
When receiving a message containing mentions, the ChatMessage properties room_mentions
and user_mentions
will respectively have an array of group or user objects, however:
myNewGroupChat.on('message', (evt, message, chat) => {
// This message contains user mentions
if (message.user_mentions.length > 0) {
// Log all the mentioned users
message.user_mentions.map((mentioned_user) => {
console.log(`Mentioned user: ${mentioned_user.first_name} ${mentioned_user.last_name} (${mentioned_user.id})`)
});
}
// This message contains room mentions
if (message.room_mentions.length > 0) {
// Log all the mentioned groups
message.room_mentions.map((mentioned_group) => {
console.log(`Mentioned group: ${mentioned_group.name} - ${mentioned_group.purpose} (${mentioned_group.id})`)
});
}
});
Translations
Any message with the type of text
can be translated into the language of choice for the current user. Languages for the translation are automatic and based on the language
property of the user sending the message, and the user performing the translation. For example, if a user with the language
of es
sends a message, and the current user has a language of fr
, then this will attempt to translate from Spanish to French.
// Listen for new incoming message. `evt` is the raw socket event,
// `message` is the new ChatMessage instance, and `chat` is the Chat instance.
myNewGroupChat.on('message', async (evt, message, chat) => {
if (message.from.language != "en") {
// This is from a non-english speaking user
let en_translation = await message.translate();
console.log(`New message translated: ${en_translation}`)
}
});

--- layout: post title: "Surprising Benefits Of Playing Video Games" subtitle: "Who knew playing video games could help you!" date: 2021-01-23 21:57:45 +0530 background: '/img/posts/06.jpg' published: true categories: [ Science ] tags: [ games, playing, benefits ] ---
You can now stop feeling guilty about playing video games.
Playing video games (responsibly) actually has some serious health benefits.
The fall edition of The American Journal of Play, 2014 featured a very interesting article on how video games bring positive, long-term effects on some of the most important mental processes: memory and attention, perception, and even decision-making abilities.
Researchers used two simple strategies to test this theory:
The study I previously mentioned pointed that passion for these games can improve a series of mental attributes. Researchers are interested in these attributes individually, but psychologists associate these attributes, in general, with intelligence. So the more you work on such skills, the smarter you become.
Of course, some other studies back up this theory as well. A group of British researchers, for instance, discovered that some particular types of video games could actually improve the brain flexibility of the player.
This new study was the work of the University College London and the Queen Mary University of London. Over 70 volunteers took part and the test was, again, rather simple. They divided the subjects into two groups and had them play a total amount of 40 hours. One group played The Sims and the other group played Starcraft. In the end, they were all tested and those who played Starcraft had significantly better results with the cognitive tasks, more accuracy, and higher speed.
Researchers now still need to find out whether these improvements are permanent or temporary. Furthermore, since both tests involved video games, they also have to determine what exactly from Starcraft (that The Sims didn’t have) improved the abilities of the players.
Any kind of activity that requires visual acuity and precision in handling particular instruments can be improved through playing video games.
This one is a study dating back since November 2012 and was conducted inside a medical university from Texas. It compared three different groups: high school game players, college gamers, and normal, medical residents. Those still in high school played about two hours a day; those in college about four hours a day; and the residents played every now and then. The best results belonged to those in high school.
Some people might think that over-playing video games will make you isolate yourself from your friends; become more sedentary; lose interest in more engaging and healthier activities. This is in fact, true. But, the keyword here is “over-playing”.
If you’re reasonably enjoying this activity up to two hours a day or just a few hours a week, then you can get serious benefits without much if any downside:

ActiveMQ Clustering
ActiveMQ Clustering
Relying on existing middleware tools and not re-inventing the transport wheel ourselves means we can take advantage of a lot of the built in features they provide. One such feature is clustering in ActiveMQ that allows for highly scalable and flexible network layouts.
We’ll cover here how to build a multi data center network of ActiveMQ servers with a NOC, the NOC computers would not need to send any packets direct to the nodes they manage and thanks to our meta data based approach to addressing machines they do not even need to know IPs or hostnames.
There is an example of a 3 node cluster in the ext/activemq directory.
Network Design
Network Layout
The diagram above shows our sample network, I am using the same techniques to put an ActiveMQ in each of 4 countries and then having local nodes communicate to in-country ActiveMQ nodes.
- These are the terminals of your NOC staff, they run the client code, these could also be isolated web servers for running admin tools etc.
- Each location has its own instance of ActiveMQ and nodes would only need to communicate to their local ActiveMQ. This greatly enhances security in a setup like this.
- The ActiveMQ instances speak to each other using a protocol called OpenWire, you can run this over IPSec or you could use the native support for SSL.
- These are the servers being managed, they run the server code. No direct communications needs to be in place between NOC and managed servers.
Refer to the MessageFlow document to see how messages would traverse the middleware in a setup like this.
General Observations
The main design goal here is to promote network isolation, the staff in your NOC are often high churn people, you’ll get replacement staff relatively often and it’s a struggle to secure what information they carry and how and when you can trust them.
Our model of using middleware and off-loading authentication and authorization onto the middleware layer means you only need to give NOC people appropriate access to the middleware and not to each individual machine.
Our usage of meta data to address machines rather than hostnames or ip address means you do not need to divulge this information to NOC staff, from their point of view they access machines like this:
- All machines in datacenter=a
- AND all machines with puppet class /webserver/
- AND all machines with Facter fact customer=acmeinc
In the end they can target the machines they need to target for maintenance commands as above without the need for any info about hostnames, ips, or even what/where data center A is.
This model works particularly well in a Cloud environment where hostnames are dynamic and not under your control, in a cloud like Amazon S3 machines are better identified by what AMI they have booted and in what availability zones they are rather than what their hostnames are.
ActiveMQ Configuration
ActiveMQ supports many types of cluster, I think their Network of Brokers model works best for us so I’ll show a sample setup of that.
There are some relevant docs on the ActiveMQ Wiki:
Configuring Transports
First you should configure transport for that each ActiveMQ will listen on, this is the configuration for the NOC node, you’d just mirror this setup on each ActiveMQ node.
1 <broker xmlns="http://activemq.org/config/1.0" brokerName="noc1-broker" useJmx="true"
2 dataDirectory="${activemq.base}/data">
3
4 <transportConnectors>
5 <transportConnector name="openwire" uri="tcp://<IP_ADDRESS>:6166"/>
6 <transportConnector name="stomp" uri="stomp://<IP_ADDRESS>:6163"/>
7 </transportConnectors>
- The _brokerName_ attribute is important and should be unique. (Leaving it set to localhost will cause message loops to occur)
- The openwire transport is the important one here, you can make it listen on specific hosts and ports as shown.
Connecting to other ActiveMQs
Next up you should configure the networkConnectors:
1 <networkConnectors>
2 <networkConnector name="noc1-dc1amq1" uri="static:(tcp://<IP_ADDRESS>:6166)" userName="amq" password="Afuphohxoh" duplex="true"/>
3 </networkConnectors>
Here we’re connecting the NOC to Data Center 1.
- The name on each connector should be unique, I just list the pair of hostnames involved which should be unique.
- This is a bi-directional connection it can send and receive traffic, you can make uni directional connections too if you wanted
- We’re authenticating with a username and password
There are many more options you can set on these connectors and it varies on your topology, you can make a ring of brokers or redundant meshes etc.
Setting up Authentication
We have an entire page dedicated to the subject of users and authentication, you should check that page out for full details but here’s a simple bit of config for the authentication above.
1 <plugins>
2 <simpleAuthenticationPlugin>
3 <users>
4 <authenticationUser username="amq" password="Afuphohxoh" groups="admins,everyone"/>
5 </users>
6 </simpleAuthenticationPlugin>
7 <authorizationPlugin>
8 <map>
9 <authorizationMap>
10 <authorizationEntries>
11 <authorizationEntry queue=">" write="admins" read="admins" admin="admins" />
12 <authorizationEntry topic=">" write="admins" read="admins" admin="admins" />
13 </authorizationEntries>
14 </authorizationMap>
15 </map>
16 </authorizationPlugin>
17 </plugins>
18 </broker>
You can now duplicate this on your other nodes, the NOC will have users and NetworkConnectors for the Data Center 2 as well, you can also flip it around so the DCs connect to the NOC which might be more secure.

Sidecar Mode
Sidecar Mode is a way of deploying Reaper for Apache Cassandra with one reaper instance for each node in the cluster. The name “Sidecar” comes from the Sidecar Pattern which describes a mechanism for co-locating an auxiliary service with its supported application. See also Design Patterns for Container-based Distributed Systems. It is a pattern that is often used in Kubernetes, where the main application and the sidecar application are deployed as separate containers in the same pod.
In Sidecar Mode, each Cassandra node process is deployed alongside a Reaper process; Cassandra is the parent application and Reaper is the sidecar.
Advantages
- Security: Each Reaper process only needs local JMX access. No need to configure remote JMX access and JMX authentication.
- Kubernetes Friendly: Sidecar mode is very easy to setup if your Cassandra Cluster is deployed using a container orchestration system, such as Kubernetes.
Guidance
- Deploy one Reaper cluster per Cassandra cluster: Sidecar mode has been designed to allow you to easily deploy a separate, highly available Reaper service for each of your Cassandra clusters. You currently cannot use a Sidecar Mode Reaper service to manage multiple clusters.
- Deploy Reaper in a sidecar container alongside Cassandra: If you are using Kubernetes to deploy Cassandra and Reaper, put the Reaper process in the same Pod as Cassandra, in a sidecar container. See Pods that run multiple containers that need to work together
- Use Spreaper and the REST API for Reaper administration (use the WebUI for reporting): If you have automated the deployment of Reaper in Sidecar Mode alongside a Cassandra Cluster (described above). Clusters in sidecar mode are self registered into Reaper, and you can turn on auto-scheduling to fully automate Reaper setup.
- Use or write an operator: For example, you could write a Kubernetes Custom Resource Definition (e.g. a
Cassandra
resource) which contains configuration fields for the Cassandra database and fields with which you can define the Reaper repair settings. Then write an accompanying Kubernetes Operator which watches for changes to those resources and reconciles the declared (desired) configuration with the actual state of the Cassandra cluster and its Reaper service.
Caveats
- One Reaper cluster per Cassandra Cluster: Sidecar Mode is designed to be used in situations where you deploy a separate Reaper cluster for every Cassandra cluster. If you prefer to deploy a single Reaper cluster to manage multiple Cassandra clusters then Sidecar Mode may not be suitable for you.
- Container orchestration (Kubernetes) preferred: Following on from the “one-reaper-per-cluster” caveat (above) it is also worth noting that it is easiest to deploy Reaper in Sidecar Mode if your Cassandra cluster is managed by a container orchestration system, such as Kubernetes. Kubernetes ensures that the Reaper process starts and dies with the Cassandra process. Kubernetes also ensures that the Reaper process shares a network namespace with the Cassandra process so that it (and only it) can access the JMX service.
- High Resource Usage: In Sidecar Mode you will be deploying an additional Java process alongside each Cassandra process. If your underlying infrastructure has limited resources, then Sidecar Mode may not be suitable for you.
- WebUI Session Affinity: In Sidecar Mode, you will be able to connect to the Web based administration pages of any Reaper process in the cluster. But even once you have logged into the Web UI of one Reaper process, you will not be able to log into the Web UI on other Reaper processes. The Web UI session information is not stored in the underlying Cassandra Backend database. You will need to setup a loadbalancer / service that ensures that all Web UI traffic from a particular client is directed to a particular Reaper process.
- Snapshot support: In Sidecar Mode, snapshot are not supported as Reaper currently tries to connect to all nodes directly for that feature. Asynchronous orchestration of such tasks is planned for a future release.

Hong Kong Elections Record High Voter Turnout At 71.2% Amid Pro Democracy Protests
by Nisha QureshiRest of the World News
Hong Kong elections recorded an increase in voter turnout with 71.2 per cent of the city's 4.1 million registered voters casting their ballots.
Written By Nisha Qureshi | Mumbai | Updated On: November 25, 2019 06:22 IST
Hong Kong recorded an increase in voter turnout with 71.2 per cent of the city's 4.1 million registered voters casting their ballots by the time the polls closed, the figures sharply exceeded the 47 per cent turnout in the same election back in 2015.
71.2 per cent voter turn out in Hongkong
This election is the first election to be held in the country after massive protests broke out in the country against the government after it proposed a controversial extradition bill. The bill now stands withdrawn. Total turnout exceeded 2.94 million voters, a rate of 71 per cent, surpassing a record from the previous legislative council election in 2016 of about 1.47 million. A record 4.1 million people, including 400,000 new voters, signed up to cast ballots in the poll.
Elections amid high political instability
In the wake of political instability, the results of the election matter a lot. The results will be seen as a barometer of support for the anti-government protest movement, currently underway in the country. The results of the local elections will also affect the Legislative Council elections next year.
A total of 1,090 candidates are contesting 452 seats. This is the first time that all the seats in the election have been contested after hundreds of pro-democracy candidates emerged during the recent unrest. 'District council work is very grassroots and pro-democracy candidates may not have a proven track record in serving people due to lack of financial resources', said Associate Professor Alfred Wu of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. Voting was peaceful, with hardly anyone was seen wearing protesters’ trademark black clothing or face masks as they went to the polls, said a local.
More than 5,000 people have been arrested in Hong Kong during the months of demonstrations. The protests started in June over a now-abandoned extradition bill. However, it later escalated to include demands for democratic elections for the city’s leader and legislature, and an independent probe into alleged police brutality in suppressing the protests.

Background
Roulette is a casino game named after the French word meaning little wheel. In the game, players may choose to place bets on either a single number, various groupings of numbers, the colors red or black, whether the number is odd or even, or if the numbers are high (19–36) or low (1–18). From Wikipedia-Roulette
This time we will talk about a kind of simplified Roulette, which won’t be influenced by the number on roulette but only be divided into two parts, win or lose.
To play the game successfully and avoid owing an unrealistic debt, we need to set some parameters at first. These parameters will be saved in a state list.
| Parameter | Type | Explaination |
|---|---|---|
| B | number | the budget |
| W | number | the budget threshold for successfully stoping |
| L | number | the maximum number of plays |
| M | number | the casino wager limit |
| plays | integer | the number of plays executed |
| previous_wager | number | the wager in the previous play (0 at first play) |
| previous_win | TRUE/FALSE | indicator if the previous play was a win (TRUE at first play) |
Function Setup
One Play
In order to use pipes “%>%” in code, we need to import the package first.
library(dplyr)
Then, let’s define the process of one play.
one_play <- function(state){
# Wager
proposed_wager <- ifelse(state$previous_win, 1, 2*state$previous_wager)
wager <- min(proposed_wager, state$M, state$B)
# Spin of the wheel
red <- rbinom(1,1,18/38)
# Update state
state$plays <- state$plays + 1
state$previous_wager <- wager
if(red){
# WIN
state$B <- state$B + wager
state$previous_win <- TRUE
}else{
# LOSE
state$B <- state$B - wager
state$previous_win <- FALSE
}
state
}
When the player runs out of the money or win enough money or play enough times, we need to stop the game by setting up a stop function.
stop_play <- function(state){
if(state$B <= 0) return(TRUE)
if(state$plays >= state$L) return(TRUE)
if(state$B >= state$W) return(TRUE)
FALSE
}
Multiple Plays
Next, we need to play the game under our rules as a series. The function will output a budget list to record the money value after every play.
one_series <- function(
B = 200
, W = 300
, L = 1000
, M = 100
){
# initial state
state <- list(
B = B
, W = W
, L = L
, M = M
, plays = 0
, previous_wager = 0
, previous_win = TRUE
)
# vector to store budget over series of plays
budget <- rep(NA, L)
# For loop of plays
for(i in 1:L){
new_state <- state %>% one_play
budget[i] <- new_state$B
if(new_state %>% stop_play){
return(budget[1:i])
}
state <- new_state
}
budget
}
Then we can get the final result of this series of play.
# helper function
get_last <- function(x) x[length(x)]
get_series <- function(x) x
Simulation
In order to figure out the generalized result, we need to repeat the process for a huge number of times then try to find out the distribution and other characteristics of results.
# Simulation
walk_out_money <- rep(NA, 1000)
for(j in seq_along(walk_out_money)){
walk_out_money[j] <- one_series(B = 200, W = 300, L = 1000, M = 100) %>% get_last
}
# Walk out money distribution
hist(walk_out_money, breaks = 100)
# Estimated probability of walking out with extra cash
mean(walk_out_money > 200)
# Estimated earnings
mean(walk_out_money - 200)
Compare
In this graph, we can see how the budget changes during one series.
budget_list <- one_series(B = 200, W = 300, L = 1000, M = 100) %>% get_series
plot(budget_list, type="l", xlim=c(0,500), ylim=c(0,300), xlab="play number", ylab="earning money", main="budget series",col="red")

budget_list <- one_series(B = 200, W = 300, L = 1000, M = 100) %>% get_series

budget_list <- one_series(B = 200, W = 300, L = 1000, M = 100) %>% get_series
lines(budget_list, col="purple")
| Parameter | Type | Explaination |
|---|---|---|
| B | number | the budget |
| W | number | the budget threshold for successfully stoping |
| L | number | the maximum number of plays |
| M | number | the casino wager limit |
Change the budget
When B changes, what is the mean earning?
earning_series <- rep(NA,20)
for(B in seq(100,1000,by=50)){
walk_out_money <- rep(NA, 1000)
for(j in seq_along(walk_out_money)){
walk_out_money[j] <- one_series(B, W=B+100, L = 1000, M = 100) %>% get_last
}
earning_series[B] <- mean(walk_out_money - B)/B
}
plot(earning_series,xlab="Budget",ylab="mean earning rate", main="How Budget influence earning?")

When W changes, what is the mean earning?
earning_series <- rep(NA,20)
for(W in seq(100,1000,by=50)){
walk_out_money <- rep(NA, 10000)
for(j in seq_along(walk_out_money)){
walk_out_money[j] <- one_series(B=200, W, L = 1000, M = 100) %>% get_last
}
earning_series[W] <- mean(walk_out_money - 200)
}
plot(earning_series,xlab="successfully stoping number",ylab="mean earning", main="How successfully stoping influence earning?")
Change the maximum number of plays
When L changes, what is the mean earning?
earning_series <- rep(NA,100)
for(L in seq(10,1000,by=10)){
walk_out_money <- rep(NA, 1000)
for(j in seq_along(walk_out_money)){
walk_out_money[j] <- one_series(B=200, W=300, L, M = 100) %>% get_last
}
earning_series[L] <- mean(walk_out_money - 200)
}
plot(earning_series,xlab="maximum number of plays",ylab="mean earning", main="How maximum number of plays influence earning?")
Change the casino wager limit
When M changes, what is the mean earning?
earning_series <- rep(NA,100)
for(M in seq(10,1000,by=10)){
walk_out_money <- rep(NA, 1000)
for(j in seq_along(walk_out_money)){
walk_out_money[j] <- one_series(B=200, W=300, L=500, M) %>% get_last
}
earning_series[M] <- mean(walk_out_money - 200)
}
plot(earning_series,xlab="casino wager limit",ylab="mean earning", main="How casino wager limit influence earning?")
Play times
Next, we can save the times that the game played before walkout then find out the characteristics.
get_times <- function(x) length(x)
walk_out_times <- rep(NA, 10000)
for(j in seq_along(walk_out_times)){
walk_out_times[j] <- one_series(B = 200, W = 300, L = 1000, M = 100) %>% get_times
}
hist(walk_out_times, breaks = 100)
mean(walk_out_times)
The mean of walk out time is 203.0846.
The limitation of simulation is obvious. It is a black box actually. We can not use it as we proof it by mathematical method. We don’t know why it happened and how it happened, so we can only change the parameter to try to understand the process. By the way, it is not a precise result. Every time we get an answer, it will change a little bit next time.


The Juneau parsers are not limited to parsing back into the original bean classes.
If the bean classes are not available on the parsing side, the parser can also be used to
parse into a generic model consisting of Maps, Collections, and primitive
objects.
You can parse into any Map type (e.g. HashMap, TreeMap) but
using {@link oaj.collections.JsonMap} is recommended since it has many convenience methods
for converting values to various types.
The same is true when parsing collections. You can use any Collection (e.g. HashSet,
LinkedList) or array (e.g. Object[], String[],
String[][]) but using {@link oaj.collections.JsonList} is recommended.
When the map or list type is not specified, or is the abstract Map, Collection,
or List types, the parser will use JsonMap and JsonList by
default.
For example, given the following JSON:
| {
| id: 1,
| name: 'John Smith',
| uri: 'http://sample/addressBook/person/1',
| addressBookUri: 'http://sample/addressBook',
| birthDate: '1946-08-12T00:00:00Z',
| addresses: [
| {
| uri: 'http://sample/addressBook/address/1',
| personUri: 'http://sample/addressBook/person/1',
| id: 1,
| street: '100 Main Street',
| city: 'Anywhereville',
| state: 'NY',
| zip: 12345,
| isCurrent: true
| }
| ]
| }
We can parse this into a generic JsonMap:
| // Parse JSON into a generic POJO model.
| JsonMap map = Json.to(json, JsonMap.class);
|
| // Convert it back to JSON.
| String json = Json5.of(map);
What we end up with is the exact same output.
Even the numbers and booleans are preserved because they are parsed into Number and
Boolean objects when parsing into generic models.
| {
| id: 1,
| name: 'John Smith',
| uri: 'http://sample/addressBook/person/1',
| addressBookUri: 'http://sample/addressBook',
| birthDate: '1946-08-12T00:00:00Z',
| addresses: [
| {
| uri: 'http://sample/addressBook/address/1',
| personUri: 'http://sample/addressBook/person/1',
| id: 1,
| street: '100 Main Street',
| city: 'Anywhereville',
| state: 'NY',
| zip: 12345,
| isCurrent: true
| }
| ]
| }
Once parsed into a generic model, various convenience methods are provided on the JsonMap
and JsonList classes to retrieve values:
| // Parse JSON into a generic POJO model.
| JsonMap map = Json.to(json, JsonMap.class);
|
| // Get some simple values.
| String name = map.getString("name");
| int id = map.getInt("id");
|
| // Get a value convertable from a String.
| URI uri = map.get(URI.class, "uri");
|
| // Get a value using a swap.
| TemporalCalendarSwap swap = new TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoInstant();
| Calendar birthDate = map.get(swap, "birthDate");
|
| // Get the addresses.
| JsonList addresses = map.getList("addresses");
|
| // Get the first address and convert it to a bean.
| Address address = addresses.get(Address.class, 0);
As a general rule, parsing into beans is often more efficient than parsing into generic models.
And working with beans is often less error prone than working with generic models.

,pip_services3_commons.run.IOpenable.IOpenable
Inversion of control (IoC) container that creates components and manages their lifecycle.
The container is driven by configuration, that usually stored in JSON or YAML file. The configuration contains a list of components identified by type or locator, followed by component configuration.
- On container start it performs the following actions:
- Creates components using their types or calls registered factories to create components using their locators
- Configures components that implement IConfigurable interface and passes them their configuration parameters
- Sets references to components that implement IReferenceable interface and passes them references of all components in the container
- Opens components that implement IOpenable interface
- On container stop actions are performed in reversed order:
- Closes components that implement ICloseable interface
- Unsets references in components that implement IUnreferenceable interface
- Destroys components in the container.
The component configuration can be parameterized by dynamic values. That allows specialized containers to inject parameters from command line or from environment variables.
The container automatically creates a ContextInfo component that carries detail information about the container and makes it available for other components.
### Configuration parameters ###
- name: the context (container or process) name
- description: human-readable description of the context
- properties: entire section of additional descriptive properties
- …
- Example:
- ======= config.yaml ========
- - descriptor: mygroup:mycomponent1:default:default:1.0
- param1: 123
- param2: ABC
- - type: mycomponent2,mypackage
- param1: 321
- param2: XYZ
- ============================
- container = Container()
- container.add_factory(MyComponentFactory())
- parameters = ConfigParams.from_value(os.env)
- container.read_config_from_file(“123”, “./config/config.yml”, parameters)
- container.open(“123”)
- print “Container is opened”
- …
- container.close(“123”)
- print “Container is closed”
- - descriptor: mygroup:mycomponent1:default:default:1.0
-
add_factories
(factory)¶ Adds a factory to the container. The factory is used to create components added to the container by their locators (descriptors).
Parameters: factory – a component factory to be added.
-
close

Parameters: correlation_id – (optional) transaction id to trace execution through call chain.
-
configure
(config)¶ Configures component by passing configuration parameters.
Parameters: config – configuration parameters to be set.
-
is_opened
()¶ Checks if the component is opened.
Returns: true if the component has been opened and false otherwise.
-
open
(correlation_id)¶ Opens the component.
Parameters: correlation_id – (optional) transaction id to trace execution through call chain.
-
read_config_from_file
(correlation_id, path, parameters)¶ Reads container configuration from JSON or YAML file and parameterizes it with given values.
Parameters: - correlation_id – (optional) transaction id to trace execution through call chain.
- path – a path to configuration file
- parameters – values to parameters the configuration or null to skip parameterization.
-
set_references
(references)¶ Sets references to dependent components.
Parameters: references – references to locate the component dependencies.
-

It’s a brand new year, and everyone is recovering from overspending in December and making resolutions for the year that they may not keep. I took some time out at the end of last year to look back on the highs and lows of 2014, and make goals for 2015 that I will really really really try keep.
Now absolutely anything can happen in a year, so it’s difficult making absolute plans when so much is out of one’s control. I mean, last year, I started off as a devout Microsoft stack developer at the company I work for, to being mainly an iOS developer towards the end of the year. Therefore, many of my goals aren’t necessarily language or technology specific. Anyway, enough talking about them. Here they are:
- Blog more. I started this blog around the middle of last year to become a world famous and influential software developer who is misquoted in badly written technology articles. The second goal was to document my learning and state of mind at particular points in time, so I can refer to them, and see my growth over time. When starting, I planned to blog every week. That didn’t happen. Now, I plan to blog every week. Write every Sunday morning. Can someone make sure I do it?
- Test. I’m a big advocate of test-driven development, and writing unit tests. I don’t get to do it much, but this year it will become a big focus. Writing good tests and testable code is a skill that develops the more it is done. Therefore, it must be done more. And this year, I want to try and integrate the practice in my general development workflow.
- Community involvement. I really need to get involved with the software development community in Cape Town. I’ve seen people write about the benefits of community involvement, and how one learns from what others are doing, and how one understands local trends, etc. It’s a good thing.
- Contribute to open source projects. Having other people scrutinize the code that I write will only make me a better developer.I am not my code, therefore shouldn’t feel like bad criticism of my code is bad criticism of me (except from some jerks). Hopefully there will be more stuff in my Github repositories at the end of the year.
- Become a better communicator. I wrote about this some time ago, and still have quite a bit of improving to do.
Here’s to 2015. May it be good.

Childhood Toxic Stress and Allostatic Load
Levi Sands
24 September 2019
Introduction
- The number of chronic conditions rise as we live longer (Lutz, Sanderson, and Scherbov 2008;
Olshansky and Ault 1986)
- If we can better understand what causes chronic health conditions we can improve standard of
living
- Stress has been linked to many chronic health problems (McEwen and McEwen 2017)
- Here I analyze the three main pathways through which stress is thought to impact adult
health
Biological Processes of Stress
- Homeostasis and allostasis (Betts et al. 2014; McEwen and Gianaros 2011)
- HPA axis and stress response (Betts et al. 2014; McEwen 1998; McEwen and McEwen 2017)
- Evolutionary history of violence (Knauft et al. 1991)
- Any stressor sets off the stress response
Stress Effects
- Short-term (Acute) effects
- Hypersensitive immune system
- Release of body's energy reserves
- Increased blood pressure
- Increased inflammation markers
- Long-term (Chronic) effects
- Depressed immune system
- Insulin resistance
- Increased risk of heart disease
- Increased inflammation markers
The Effects of Stress on Health
- Allostatic Load: the biological load, or cost, that is borne from the overuse of allostatic
systems activated by chronic or toxic stress (McEwen and Stellar 1993)
- Increased allostatic load has been linked with higher risk of mortality, decreased physical
functioning, and decreases in cognitive functioning (Seeman et al. 2001)
Social and Environmental Stressors
- We are surrounded by the social environment that is full of stressors
- Individuals are exposed to different sources and numbers of stressors (Thoits 2010)
- Social stressors impact individuals differently depending on their resources (Thoits 2010)
Perspectives on Mechanism of Allostatic Load Impact
Predictive Adaptive Response Perspective
- Biological embedding during a critical or sensitive period (Hertzman and Boyce 2010)
- Works through epigenetics and tissue remodeling (Landecker and Panofsky 2013; McEwen 2000)
- Predicts that childhood stress will be more impactful on adult health than other sources
Cumulative Stress Perspective
- Early disadvantages become more stressors as time goes on (Pearlin et al. 2005)
- Works through stress proliferation and unbroken sources of stressors that break down the
body (Ferraro 2011; Pearlin et al. 2005)
- Predicts that adult stress will be more impactful on adult health than other sources
Stress Buffering Perspective
- Positive factors and perspectives can buffer toxic stress (Thoits 2006, 2011)
- Resources can be employed to mitigate the sources of stress (Thoits 2006, 2011)
- Not all individuals will perceive possible stressors as a threat and will thus not activate
the stress response
- Predicts that positive factors and resources will lesson the impact of stress on adult
health (Pearlin and Bierman 2013; Thoits 2006, 2011)
Methods
- Multiple linear regression using ordinary least squares was used to determine associations
using the R programming language (R Core Team 2019)
- Hypothesis 1: Adults who experienced child abuse and neglect will exhibit higher levels of
allostatic load regardless of later life stressors or favorable life circumstances. This is
due to the impact of the toxic stress on the body during the “critical period” previously
discussed.
- Hypothesis 2: The cumulative impact of stressors that accumulate across the life course will
have more of an impact upon adult allostatic load than either childhood or adult toxic
stress alone.
- Hypothesis 3: Positive life-course factors in adulthood will lessen the impact of childhood
toxic stress on allostatic load. Positive life experiences are known to mitigate the adverse
impact of toxic stress on health.
Sample
- Taken from Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS)
- 902 participants after removing 130 for missing biomarker data and another 22 for missing
various other variables used here
- Retrospective data taken from waves 1, 2 and biomarker visit as well as prospective
questions from each wave
Variables
- Dependent Variable: allostatic load
- Main independent variable: childhood abuse and neglect
- Other independent variables: adult negative events, financial situation, perceived stress,
family and friend support
- Demographic controls: race (white reference), female, age, respondent education, health
insurance
- Lifestyle controls: smoked, alcohol consumed, exercise, fast food (in a week)
Results
- Childhood abuse and neglect was always significantly associated with increased allostatic
load
- both adult negative events and financial situation were always significantly associated with
higher allostatic load
- Family and friend support was found to be significantly associated with increased allostatic
load
Limitations
- Retrospective measures of many variables
- Lack of longitudinal biomarker data
- Lack of genetic data
- Limited cumulative stress and stress buffering examination
- No examination of mental health factors
Future Directions for Research
- Investigate the proliferation of stressors more closely
- Include genetic, epigentic, and tissue data
- The social support of family and friends needs to be examned closer to determine how the
results found here came about


CodeHelp Tabbed MDI Workspace
There are a few options available for this plug-in, as it designed with simplicity in mind.
Most of the features are accessible by right clicking on the tab panel area.
And all the function should be self-explanatory as in the screenshot below.
Here is the list of functionalities of CHTabMDI:
o Hidden (the close icon is not displayed)
o Rightmost (the close icon is showed on the right most of the tab area)
o On Active Tab (the close icon is showed only on the active tab)
The plug-in will show on-screen hint whenever CTRL key is pressed, so you’ll know what number corresponds to each tab.


You've just created a basic ASP.NET Core application which in addition serves compiled PHP scripts.
The solution consists of two separate projects:
PHP source files are placed within the $safeprojectname$ project. Upon building the project, the compiler parses the files, provides additional diagnostics, and outputs a single binary .dll file.
Unlike in regular PHP application, compile and content files are treated separately here. Content files are not compiled and they will only be served by the web server as a static file.
- $safeprojectname$ - $safeprojectname$.Server - wwwroot - css - images - js
Place your content files (images and stylesheets, and other non-compile items) into the /wwwroot/
folder within the $safeprojectname$.Server project.


PM Modi asks CAG to develop innovative methods to check frauds in govt departments
Modi was addressing a conclave of the Comptroller of Auditor General (CAG) on transforming audit and assurance in a digital world.
by PTIPrime Minister Narendra Modi on November 21 asked auditor CAG to develop technical tools to check frauds in government departments and play a role in making India a $5 trillion economy.
He was addressing a conclave of the Comptroller of Auditor General (CAG) on transforming audit and assurance in a digital world.
"CAG should look for innovative methods to deal with occupational fraud," he said adding that the auditor can play a role in improving governance and efficiency.
Modi said the government wants to move to evidence-backed policy making by 2022 and the CAG can play a role by becoming a think tank and focusing on big data analysis.
"Our target is to make evidence-based policy making a part of governance by 2022,"he said, while stressing that India ia gearing up to become a $5 trillion economy.
He asked the CAG to develop technical tools to root out frauds in departments.

Whilst the interfaces allow for the option of changing the underlying persistence technology, at present intact uses the OJB object-relational mapping tool to provide an object view of a backend oracle database. The OJB interface is hidden from users of the intact persistence package, but the package contains both the technology-independent classes and also the OJB-specific implementations. (Please note the change of underlying persistence technology: OJB was chosen to replace Castor mainly for performance, documentation and extensibility reasons.).
The package contains the following groups of classes and interfaces:
web.xml
file of the webapps directory. Typically this would be the full
classname of a technology specific implementation of the DAOSource
interface.
Currently intact uses the OJB-specific {@link uk.ac.ebi.intact.persistence.ObjectBridgeDAOSource} implementation,
although
this can be changed easily if required. Once a client has obtained a reference to the
data source implementation, it is possible to then use it in order to access the persistence
functionality. Alternatively a seperate helper class may be used (as is the case for intact) which
encapsulates all persistence layer access.
The data source itself is initialised via a collection of configuration files, which are passed
to it after its initial construction. For OJB, this is a single file called repository.xml
,
which defines the class-to-table mappings. In the case of castor, these are database description
and mapping files, along with the database name. Once intitialised it is then ready to provide
clients with connections to the persistent storage.
Use of OJB as the persistence technology requires no further information, unlike Castor.
DAO
interface. This interface defines
a number of the more common operations provided by most persistence technologies - for example
creating and searching for objects, transaction management and so on. It is therefore possible
for clients of the DAO
interface to manage their own transactions, but in cases
where this would not be appropriate (for example in a web environment), implementations of the
interface should manage transactions themselves, and therefore removing the need for clients
to worry about transactions.
The {@link uk.ac.ebi.intact.persistence.ObjectBridgeDAO} class provides an OJB-specific implementation of the DAO interface, utilising both the PersistenceBroker and ODMG APIs provided by OJB (typically if transaction management and locking are required ODMG is used, but for straight query the PersistenceBroker API is used to avoid the transactional overhead of ODMG). OJB provides a more felxible method of query to Castor, and is better documented. Furthermore OJB is under active development via Apache, whereas Castor's object-relational mapping solution (JDO, *not* to be confused with the Java Data Object standard) is not. The OJB approach to lazy data loading is centred around the proxy concept, whereby objects may hold proxies to referenced objects. Full objects are then materialised on demand via the proxies. Also OJB has the concept of a Collection proxy, which provides a single proxy for Collection references rather thain requiring the maintenance of a Collection of individual proxy instances (which would be similar to a Castor-based approach). Furthermore objects along with their proxies are not bound to a transaction as they are for Castor. This makes objects retrieved available "as is" within an application, without having to maintain the transaction to keep the object references alive. At present it appears that OJB provides a superior object-relational solution to Castor - however Castor is the preferred solution for XML marshalling applications, since OJB does not provide such functionality.
Previously a CastorDAO class implemented a castor-specific solution. This has now been replaced with an OJB solution for a number of reasons, chiefly concerned with the lazy loading strategy, code complexity, lack of useful documentation and low level of development activity for Castor JDO.


Unique Sequence Properties
Properties for the Unique Sequence component can be viewed by Double click->component on canvas. The properties contains the 'General' tab and falls under the Transform category in the component palette.
General Properties:

Configuration
Check How to pass Hadoop properties to component
Validation
The Unique Sequence components applies validations to the mandatory fields as described above. Upon placing the Unique Sequence component on job canvas for the first time (from component palette), the component shows up a warning icon as mandatory properties are not provided.
The properties window also displays error icon on mandatory fields if it has an incorrect value. The error icon is displayed on the tab as well, if any of the field within the tab has some error.
If the properties window has some error even after user visit's it once, then the warning icon on the Input Hive Text File component on the job canvas changes to error icon. This error icon is removed only when all the mandatory fields are supplied with correct values.


Man captured on video killing jumbo arraigned
In Summary
- The video clip showing how the jumbo was being killed went viral on social media on November 19, 2019.
- The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) however, said that the incident took place on June 21, 2018.
A man suspected to have been part of the group that was captured in a video clip killing an elephant in Meru has been arraigned.
Appearing before Nanyuki Resident Magistrate Vincent Masivo, Mr Kenneth Muthaura Mbaabu was charged with killing the jumbo in Lower Imenti, Buuri Constituency, Meru County. Mr Muthaura denied the charge.
The video clip showing how the jumbo was being killed went viral on social media on November 19, 2019.
The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) however, said that the incident took place on June 21, 2018.
ENDANGERED SPECIES
Prosecutor Virginia Kariuki told the court that the animal is classified as an endangered species and requested that the suspect be denied cash bail.
“According to the law, the elephant is classified as an endangered species. I am requesting that the accused person be released only on bond with two sureties,” Ms Kariuki said.
She further requested the court to order the suspect to be reporting at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations office at Timau in Meru County every first day of the month as the case continues. But Mr Muthaura, through his lawyer Thuku Mbaaro, argued there was no sufficient reason to deny him cash bail.
CASH BAIL
Ms Kariuki said: “The suspect should be denied cash bail terms to secure his attendance to the DCI’s office due to the nature of the case".
KWS Assistant Director in charge of Eastern area Michael Wanjau told the media on Monday that on November 22, 2019, a multiagency team started probe to arrest individuals captured in the video clip.
“Through a detailed probe, we have been able to identify ten other people who are still at large. We will arrest them soon,” Mr Wanjau said.
He said the team collected tusks and pieces of bones of the animal which will be taken through a DNA analysis.


The render-view projects the 3D world to a 2D screen using either orthographic or perspective projection. The structures and molecules are defined in their own "model"-coordinate space. They are combined, using (1) an origin, and (2) an orientation, to form the world-space. The camera is directed at the center of the scene with the y-axis as up. The chosen default coordinate system for the render-view is right-handed: the positive x- and y-axes point right and up, and the z points toward the viewer.This choice is consistent with most math and physics text books. Positive rotation is counterclockwise about the axis of rotation.
The mouse control is implemented as a "virtual trackball" behavior which allows the user to define 3D rotation using mouse operations in a 2D window. The trackball works by assuming that a sphere encloses the 3D view. The user rolls this virtual sphere with the mouse. For example, if you click on the center of the sphere and move the mouse straight to the right, you rotate the scene around the y-axis. Clicking more towards the left edge of the center and move the mouse straight to the right, you rotate the scene around the y-axis with a higher speed. You can click on the "edge" of the sphere and roll it around in a circle to get a z-axis rotation. The trackball uses quaternions under the hood (Euler angles are less convenient due to gimbal lock problems)

Selection and picking are integral parts of structure editing. Mouse picking means that the user clicks an object in the scene to select it, or interact with it otherwise. iRASPA provides pixel-perfect mouse picking for objects and area-selection. The selection of the render-view is in sync with the selection of the data-views in tabular form. For individual picking, mouse-clicking an object selects it. If the modifier key "cmd" is used, then the object is added to the selection. If that atom was already selected it would be deselected ("toggling"). In the render-view, the user can select a rectangular screen-area using the modifier key "cmd" + dragging to add the atoms in that frustum to the selection, or use the modifier key "shift" + dragging to replace the selection.

USD/INR finds buyers once again near 71.65/60, Fed minutes eyed
by Dhwani Mehta- Rupee strengthens on ongoing foreign inflows.
- USD/INR losses to be capped by US-China trade/ political risks.
- Markets await FOMC minutes for fresh directives.
The Indian Rupee stalled its recovery from three-day lows vs, the US dollar, as the USD/INR bears take a breather near 71.75 region, at the press time.
The spot hit a low of 71.65 last hour after the Indian currency was boosted on the extended foreign inflows, in the wake of ArcelorMittal's takeover of Essar Steel. However, the downside in USD/INR remains cushioned by the increased safe-haven demand for the US dollar across its main competitors amid renewed US-China tensions led risk-aversion.
Apart from the ongoing US-China trade uncertainty, fresh trouble brewed between both the countries on the political front after the US Senate approved the Hong Kong human rights bill late-Tuesday. Beijing threatened to retaliate against the US political meddling into Chinese domestic affairs.
Looking ahead, the pair will remain at the mercy of the USD price-action and risk trends amid US-China political woes and ahead of the key FOMC Oct meeting’s minutes that could throw fresh light on the US interest rates outlook amid growing overseas risks.
