Purpose
Calling remote procedure using XML-RPC and Scala.
Introduction
On Telecom IT environment and specially middelware solution, we will rarely do all the work but rather delegate some of business process to other tiers. Web service communications is heavy used between solutions. However, many IT node continues to support older protocols like XML-RPC. Ericsson Intelligent Network (IN) and its subsystem uses AIR Integration Protocol user communication(UCIP) based on a variant of XM-RPC.
Why UCIP ?
UCIP is intended for user self services such as Adjustments, Account Refill, and Account Inquiries and to extract account details. UCIP is an IP-based protocol used for integration towards the AIR server from the external application.
Why Scala ?
UCIP is an XML over HTTP based protocol, which makes it easy to integrate with a central integration point within a network. In addition, Scala can be used to easily create, parse, and process XML documents. XML data can be represented in Scala either by using a generic data representation, or with a data-specific data representation.
Scala & XML-RPC
Rather than using an precompiled version of XML-RPC library, we will do our home solution using httpclient library from apache :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
<version>4.1</version>
</dependency>
UPDATEBALANCEANDDATE
The message UpdateBalanceAndDate is used to adjust balances and expiry dates on the main account and the dedicated accounts. The sample I chooses here is only to update main balance :
Let’s start with some helpful class :
1- InParameters class : contains In specific configuration like ip and port
case class InParameters(ip:String,port:Int,user:String,pwd:String,agent:String,url:String)
2- XMLRPCVo abstract class : groups all XML request message like the transaction generated Id and date
object XmlRpcVo {
val f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
}
abstract class XmlRpcVo {
def originTransactionID = System currentTimeMillis
def dateTime:String= XmlRpcVo.f.format(new Date())
}
3- UpdateBalanceAndDateParameter class with extend our XMLRPCVo and contains all data needed by Update main balance operation like subscriber number
case class UpdateBalanceAndDateParameter(subscriberNumber:String,
originNodeType:String,
originHostName:String,
transactionCurrency:String,
amount: Int )
extends XmlRpcVo
4-UCIP suggests to add custom header on XML-RPC message. XmlRpcHttpClient class dialogue with IN nodes using generic execute method
class XmlRpcHttpClient(inp :InParameters) extends LogHelper{
private val httpclient:DefaultHttpClient = client
private [this] def client() =
{
val httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(
new AuthScope(inp.ip, inp.port),
new UsernamePasswordCredentials(inp.user, inp.pwd))
httpclient.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.USER_AGENT, inp.agent)
httpclient
}
private [this] def poster(elem:Elem) ={
val httppost = new HttpPost(inp.url)
httppost.addHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml")
httppost.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "form-data; name=\"fname\"; filename=\"request.xml\"")
val comment = new StringBody(""+elem)
val reqEntity = new MultipartEntity()
reqEntity.addPart("fname", comment)
httppost.setEntity(reqEntity)
httppost
}
def execute(requestVo:scala.xml.Elem):HttpResponse = {
try { client.execute(poster(requestVo))}
catch { case e => throw new connectionExecption(e) }
finally { client.getConnectionManager().shutdown() }
}
}
XML-RPC is a Remote Procedure Calling protocol and the body of an XML-RPC request is formatted using XML. A procedure executes on the AIR server and the value it returns is also formatted in XML. The interface to the AIR server interface uses XML-RPC over HTTP. Sending an XML to update the main balance will be using this class.
5- UpdateBalanceAndDate class : generates an UpdateBalanceAndDate XML request message
class UpdateBalanceAndDate (ubdp :UpdateBalanceAndDateParameter) {
def request=
<methodCall>
<methodName>UpdateBalanceAndDate</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>originNodeType</name>
<value>
<string>{ubdp.originNodeType}</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>originHostName</name>
<value>
<string>{ubdp.originHostName}</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>originTransactionID</name>
<value>
<string>{ubdp.originTransactionID}</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>originTimeStamp</name>
<value>
<dateTime.iso8601>{ubdp.dateTime}</dateTime.iso8601>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>subscriberNumber</name>
<value>
<string>{ubdp.subscriberNumber}</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>transactionCurrency</name>
<value>
<string>{ubdp.transactionCurrency}</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>adjustmentAmountRelative</name>
<value>
<string>{ubdp.amount}</string>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>
}
6- UpdateBalanceAndDate companion object is used to parse response and validate the transaction
object UpdateBalanceAndDate {
@throws (classOf[ClientProtocolException])
@throws (classOf[IOException])
def getResponse(response:HttpResponse ):Int= {
try {
val entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
val s = EntityUtils.toString(entity)
val elem = XML.loadString(s)
val tuple= for {
x <- (elem \\ "member")
name = (x \ "name" ) .text
code = ( x \ "value" \ "i4" ).text if(name == "responseCode")
} yield (code)
if(tuple.size == 1) {
return tuple(0).toInt
}
return RESPONSE_PARSE_EXCEPTION
}
else { return NULL_RESPONSE }
}
catch {
case _ => return UNEXCEPTED_ERROR_WHILE_PARSE_RESPONSE
}
}
}
7- UpdateBalanceAndDateController controlleur class orchestrate requests and utilities class
class UpdateBalanceAndDateController {
def update(inp: InParameters, ubdp : UpdateBalanceAndDateParameter ):Int={
try {
val c = new XmlRpcHttpClient(inp)
val ubd = new UpdateBalanceAndDate (ubdp)
val rep= c execute(ubd.request)
return UpdateBalanceAndDate.getResponse(rep )
}catch {
case e:connectionExecption => return AIR_EXCEPTION
case e => return UNEXPECTED_CONNECTION__EXCEPTION
}
}
}
Conclusion
Create XML message and parse it using scala is like a baby toy and makes using UCIP protocol easier and simpler. This sample can be generalized to the other UCIP messages like GetBalanceAndDate or GetAccountDetails and any other XML-RPC communication.

3 Underloved Tech Stocks Making a Comeback
Buyers are returning to these once-loved tech stocks
Although tech stocks are often a big topic on Wall Street, some of them haven’t been getting as much love and attention as others lately. It’s either that or the attention has been predominantly negative. But despite the press, these three abandoned tech stocks are set to make a comeback.
They’ve become compelling stocks to buy now because of their returning strength and they now present low-risk entries.
Some believe that sector rotation is the lifeblood of a bull market. When the backdrop for equities is healthy you’ll see money flow from leading sectors to lagging ones. This allows overbought areas to pause, digest gains and prepare for future advances. And it buoys up unloved areas, bringing them back into the fold.
That’s the case for each of these promising tech stocks to invest in now. Let’s take a closer look at each.
Forgotten Tech Stocks to Buy: Netflix (NFLX)
Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) shares have been volatile since birth. This year’s whack ushered NFLX stock into a full-fledged bear market, driving it 35% off this year’s highs. If you look at the depths of the descent versus last year’s all-time highs, the damage rises to a 40% thrashing.
So has Netflix fallen out of favor? Undoubtedly!
But evidence that buyers are returning has cropped up over the past two months. First, the stock gapped higher on earnings. Second, even though the up open was rapidly rejected, a higher pivot low eventually formed, reflecting buyers’ willingness to step in at a higher price than before. Third, when Disney (NYSE:DIS) screamed higher last week on the Disney+ mania, Netflix shares fell heavily. But the downdraft didn’t last. The snapback is pushing into its third day this morning, creating a breakout above key resistance near $300.
With the pop, NFLX stock has now completed an ascending triangle bottoming pattern and is in an uptrend.
Trade Suggestion: Buy the Jan $310/$320 bull call spread for around $3.80.
Square (SQ)
Square (NYSE:SQ) is another fallen tech stock that finds itself miles away from record highs. At its September lows, SQ stock was 46% off last year’s peak, abandoned in bear country.
But its action post-earnings is encouraging. The initial surge launched SQ above key resistance at $64.50 amid huge accumulation. And though the breakout bid ultimately failed, the subsequent support test did not. I find the rapid return to the highs very promising. This morning, we’re seeing another attempt at cracking the ceiling.
If it succeeds, a run toward $70 by Christmas could be in the cards. With implied volatility sitting at the lowest levels of the year, long calls and call spreads are a lay-up idea here.
Trade Suggestion: Buy the Jan $65/$70 bull call spread for around $1.90.
Facebook (FB)
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) rounds out the list and some may dispute its inclusion. FB stock certainly didn’t fall out of favor nearly as aggressively as NFLX and SQ. But it really hasn’t enjoyed near as much upside as say, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) lately.
So, in that sense, it is an underperformer.
What caught my eye was its initial surge above $190 resistance on solid earnings results. Sellers struck quickly on the morning of the gap, but the test of the rising 20-day moving average held (with a nice accumulation day to boot) and FB has since returned to overhead resistance.
Today’s drop signals buyers might need some time to build strength for a breakout, but there’s no doubt FB is an attractive play over $196.
Trade Suggestion: Once resistance finally falls, consider buying Jan bull call spreads such as the $200/$205.

Who are you, and why?
Sometime around the early days of bitcoin, I saw the promise of decentralized money and decided to mine/buy/trade some magical internet tokens. The expectation shattering returns of bitcoin over many years has lead to an amount far more than I can spend.
What do you do when you have more money than you can ever possibly spend? Donating most of it to charity is what I'm doing. For reference, The Pineapple Fund is bigger than the entire market cap of bitcoin when I got in, and one of the richest 250 bitcoin addresses today.
How many bitcoins do you have?
The Pineapple Fund represents a majority of my cryptocurrency holdings.
Why are you remaining anonymous?
Publicity has never been the point of this fund.
I'm an individual. Can I get some bitcoins?
The answer is no. Pineapple Fund is charity, but not that kind of charity.
Please do not apply or email. We have never funded an individual request and we never will.
Why the name, Pineapple Fund?
I like pineapple. The only bad thing about pineapple is you can't eat too much :(

City hotel rings in Christmas festivities
Crowd indulges in fun at cake-mixing activity
by Special CorrespondentAlmost a month ahead of Christmas, elaborate planning begins to roll out the festival with all its traditional features intact.
Cake-mixing is a ritual that rings in festivities of the season. Hotel Fortune Murali Park in the city, in tune with its annual tradition, created a platform for Christmas revellers to gather for the fun activity of cake-mixing on Wednesday.
Home baked cakes, muffins, tarts, chocolates and other goodies are essential components of Christmas.
At the hotel, a crowd in a circular form, poured in a myriad dry fruits and nuts in wine leaving it to soak in the goodness that would fill the Christmas cake and plum cakes that would be made out of it. “This soaked mix will be allowed to settle for 30 days before it takes shape of plum pudding and plum cakes that would be served with wine to the festival revellers,” said R. Pavan Kumar, deputy sales manager of the hotel.
“We want a large number of people to visit our hotel during the festival time and savour this special cake,” said sales manager Shaik Jeelani.

Week 1
Day 1
On the very first day of pre fab training, our instructor Francisco Sanchez Arroyo gave us an introduction about fablabs and the necessity of making things ourselves through his simple presentation. In between he shared the google drive folder for all the participants which is to be used for storing and sharing files.
He was talking about the companies which manufacture products massively of different colors and shapes since the taste of an individual cannot be separately identified which in turn results in a heap of wastage. Hw it would be that one could make almost everything that he needed by himself and thus can avoid the wastage of resources? this sounds cool right ? that's the real motive of the fablabs.
Then we discussed about the importance of pre fab training and how it will help us in fab academy . Franc then discussed about the 9 principles at MIT Media lab and gave a relaxation session ,so that we can have a fresh start.then he explained about the fab academy courses and the importance of time and effort to come out with flying colours. Franc explained us about the mailing list and things we should take care while sending mails and replies.
How to ask properly another important factor when it comes to troubleshooting and bug fixing. Usually people say it doesn't works or it gave me an error. Even if someone wants to help us they cannot do the same when we ask like that. Franc clearly explained the solution for this. Later he showed us the fab academy archives and documentations of previous students. then franc mentioned about neil, sherry and explained their tasks, roles etc. Also explained about the evaluation process and review that is going to happen on every wednesday 9 am @ Boston. He gave a clear idea on relevance of our final project also lectured us on what a good final project is. A good project must be simple,sellable and must solve some problem. I like to simplify it as 3 S . There are three types of final projects according to Franc.
- The good: Simple, well crafted
- The vague: Overcomplicated, does not solve any problem
- The bad: Poorly documented, horrible aspect
Day 2
Preparing Laptops and Lab Computers
We had to start with preparing our Laptops and Computer for using fab modules and othe software required for fab academy. For that i need to install the latest LTS version of Ubuntu which is Ubuntu LTS 14.04.
To install latest Ubuntu Desktop LTS (currently 14.04).
Formatted one of my drives and prepared the drive.It was a 100 gb drive and deleted the partiotion. Started Installation using a bootable pendrive containing Ubuntu Desktop LTS (currently 14.04). Using the disk management tool created on 50Gb partition for root and 40 gb for home and allocated the remaining for Swap Area.
(Find th Detailed Installation Guide here)
And it was completed successfully. Now my Lap is a multi booting lap with Windows 10 and Linux. I am a linux user from my school times.
Every time after the Linux installation what I do at first is customising the grub background. I hate the plain boot screen background. I don't know why. :). Here is how I changed grub Background image.
First download the required background:
and paste the image into boot/grub folder which demand superuser acces. for that type the following in terminal.
$ sudo nautilus
enter password
navigate to boot/grub
Paste the image there. Again back to terminal
$ sudo update-grub
That's it!. Next time when you boot your system you can see the image you selected as your boot screen background.
Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop after sucessful Install
Next Franc showed how to install software using Ubuntu software center and how to install software using apt-get. I was familiar with those , so I started to install the required programs from the list which Franc shared.
1.Adding “Terminal here” addon for Nautilus.
Code for that.
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions
Then we have to quit Nautilus, for that type the following command:
$ sudo nautilus -q
After that when we restarted nautilus and right clicked we had that open in terminal option.
Terminal Here Window
2. Installing fab modules compiled version
To install Fab Modules Compiled version Franc shared this url http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/ . Procedures are as follow. Download Fab Modules zip from the link. http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/fab_src.zip Unzip the downloaded file Install the dependencies using this single code
$ sudo apt-get install python python-wxgtk2.8 python-dev python-pip gcc g++ libpng12-dev libgif-dev make bash okular libboost-thread-dev libboost-system-dev cmake
After that open the unzipped folder, then right click and select open terminal . then type the following command.
$ make fab
then
$ sudo make install
At this point, make install will copy all executables and scripts to /usr/local/bin.
After that you can run Fab Modules from terminal by typing fab.
3. Installing Kokopelli retro.
we have to install kokopelli retro for editing Neil’s circuit boards. Kokopelli is one amazing software for creating circuit boards, 2d designs.
How to install?
Download zip from this link. Unzip the folder Open folder in terminal follow the codes.
$ make fab
then
$ cd bin
then
$ ./kokopelli -r
Kokopelli Window after sucessful Install
4. Installing Antimony
Installing Antimony is lengthy process and it consumed some time for me. First we need to install all the dependencies.Here is the whole step i followed for installing Antimony in Ubuntu 14.04.
Step 1. Install Qt :
Download Qt from here and right click on the downloaded file and set permision to run as executable file. Then double click on the file and continue the install.
Step 2.Run the following code in terminal to install other reqiured dependencies.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libpng-dev python3-dev libboost-all-dev libgl1-mesa-dev lemon flex
Step 3. 14.04 ships with gcc 4.8, you'll need to update the compiler manually:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.9
Step 4. Clone the Github repo to your pc
$ git clone https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony
Step 5. Change Directory
$ cd antimony
Step 6.Make Directory Build
$ mkdir build
Step 7. Change Dirctory Build
$ cd build
Step 8.If you installed another version of Qt change the link appropriately.(I renamed the folder in home to Qt and version i installed is 5.5)
$ ~/Qt/5.5/gcc_64/bin/qmake ../sb.pro
Step 9. Make
$ make -j8
Step 10. Install App
$ sudo make install
Step 11. Open App
$ ./app/antimony
Errors i got after installing Antimony.
Whenever i try to add a 2d image after opening Antimony the app was crashing. It was since i missed step 3 in updating gcc.
If antimony crashes while trying add a component even after a successfull install. Update gcc from step 3.
Antimony Window after sucessful Install
5. Installing Installing Inkscape.
Inkscape can be directly installed from ubuntu software center
6.Installing Openscad
Directly from Ubuntu Software center
7.Installing Gimp
Directly from Ubuntu Software center
8.Installing Cura
Dowload the .deb file from Ulltimakers site and double click to install
9.Installing Arduino IDE.
Franc told to direct download Arduino IDE instead of installing from ubuntu software center. Download IDE from Arduino site and uzip the same. Open the unzipped directory and open it in terminal. type this in terminal for launching IDE
$ ./arduino
the next step is to install attiny addon for arduino IDE.
For that go to File -> Prefernces
There paste this https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damellis/attiny/ide-1.6.x-boards-manager/package_damellis_attiny_index.json on Addiional Boards Manager Urls field and press OK.
Then Tools-> Board -> Boards Manager.
Scroll down and you can see Attiny . CLick on more info and click install. this wil install the attiny plugin. Close the boards manager. You should now see an entry for ATtiny in the “Tools > Board” menu.
10.Installing Qcad.
CAD is a free, open source 2D CAD system . Inorder to install this we need to download from their official Site. Download .run file from here and double click to install.

Day 3
Creating accounts
On Day 3 our first task was to create the following account and write down all the links. These are recommended for fab academy so that we can organize and store our data and files and synchronize everything.
- Fablabs.io Account
- git.fabcloud.io Account
- Google account
- Youtube and/or Vimeo account
- Dropbox account
- Sketchfab.com account
Always Check your Spam folder for Confirmation mail from git.fabclouds.io.
Link to my Fab Cloud Account http://git.fabcloud.io/u/abhilashst1
Next I created Fablabs.io Account: Link https://www.fablabs.io/users/4693
Sketchfab Account :
https://sketchfab.com/abhilashst1
Creating Github Repositories
GIT is the most accomplished distributed version control system. It helps us to manage our own project locally using a version control tool or if we want modify a code that is located in a remote central GIT repository.
Installing and Configuring Git.
$sudo apt-get install git
The next step is to specify your username and email address to your GIT repository using “git config” as shown below.
git config --global user.name "username"
git config --global user.email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Verify the git configuration information as shown below.
$ git config --list
Create a repository in Github for personal website Head over to GitHub and create a new repository named username.github.io, where username is your username (or organization name) on GitHub. If the first part of the repository doesn’t exactly match your username, it won’t work, so make sure to get it right.
Clone the created repo to our PC.
$ git clone https://github.com/username/username.github.io
Move to that folder and create index.html and some content. Now we need to push this.
Add, commit, and push your changes:
$ git add --all
#adding files
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
#Adding Comments
$ git push -u origin master
# pushing
Creating SSH Keys.
SSH keys are used to identify computers, it helps in pushing easy without passwords. Before creating one we need to check for exixting ssh key. For that type the code below in terminal.
ls -al ~/.ssh
# Lists the files in your .ssh directory, if they exist
Generate a new SSH key
With Terminal still open, copy and paste the text below.Don't forget to change the email address to your login email id for github.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Go with the default settings, skip paraphrase.I added a paraphrase which made my ssh configuring that not aading any advantage.So i created new ssh key withoout paraphrase and then configured it to github.
Ensure ssh-agent is enabled:
# start the ssh-agent in the background
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
# Agent pid 59566
Add your SSH key to the ssh-agent:
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Add your SSH key to your account
Copy the SSH key to your clipboard. For that type the following code in terminal.This will install xclip first and then copies the key to clipboard.
$ sudo apt-get install xclip
# Downloads and installs xclip.
xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
# For copying the contents of the id_rsa.pub file to clipboard
Now login to github account from browser, navigate to account settings by click on profile photo and clicking on Settings.
On the left settings sidebar, click SSH keys.
Click Add SSH key.
Give name in the description field so that you can understand the device.
Paste key into the "Key" field.
Click Add key.
That's all folk Github is configured using ssh. Now we can push to your rep very easily.
Documenting Fab Academy and Pre Academy
Next Franc talked about the importance of documentation. According to him it's all about documentation. HE told us to tell our story in documentation not a step by step tutorial.Familiarity with HTML will help us in documenting since we need to dump all our data into an HTML website. Then he shared some links to ”learn HTML , and link to download free bootstrap templates. Also he shared the link to the grading criteria and final project requirements in Fab Academy.Link to Fab Academy 2015 Evaluation Checklist

Photography.
Franc then told us about the importance of photography in Documentation Process. The size of the image should be in correct resolution that will not increase website loading time or reduce quality. I prefer to you 800 * 600 px images. I am familiar with photoshop so that i created a Action to resize all the images captured and screenshots to the required size. While taking images we should be careful to avoid blur.Franc told us about rule of thirds and how we should focus images and where to place images. Also we must be perfect in selecting the background for the images.We must not select very colorful background, always do minimalist and give importance to what you people to notice at first. The lighting is another important thing to take of while doing photography for documentation. If we can create the scene it will be more nice and appealing for the viewers.
Creating Mockups
Mockups are very useful for final project presentation or interface application since it can give an attractive appearance to our product. Franc shared this link where we can create Mockups .
Principles of good design
- Simplicity
- Typography
- Color harmony
Day 4
Day 4 was dedicated for cleaning and setting up lab and also for learning time management through the same. Before starting cleaning Franc gave an overview of Time management. He explained how supply and demand and linked. Later he explained about the importance of parallel development. Usually all of us go for serial development we will wait for one process to complete and do the other. Franc gave an idea of creating time slots and how to try to stick to that time slot. Also he taught us how to do things parallely which will help in rapid prototyping.
Preparing the lab
The first task was cleaning up the lab. He allotted separate sections for each of us. He said that we must stick to our section first and later finishing that we can help others. I was given the Laser Cutter section to clean up. The area where we placed Laser cutter was really messed up with a lot things that doesn't belongs to laser cutting. I started with moving things that doesn't belongs to laser cutter to their respective places. After that i moved used acrylic and cardboard to the inventory. The i arranged the Desk where computer for laser and also organised the laser cut model in a box. also cleaned the dust in the desk and below the tables.Laser Cutter Desk before Cleaning
Laser Cutter Desk after Cleaning
Since i finished Laser section early i moved to help Varun in cleaning the inventory rack in organising Moulding and casting section and Screen Printing section. After that i helped in organising one Soldering Desk along with arranging Electronics inventory section.

Rangers forward Sheyi Ojo reflects on "special" Feyenoord winner
Sheyi Ojo is looking to recreate special moments like his winner against Feyenoord as Rangers aim to do the double over the Dutch side.
Ojo kick-started Rangers' Europa League group campaign with a spectacular strike which proved the difference against the Rotterdam side at Ibrox in September.
Steven Gerrard's team now travel to Holland for their penultimate group game three points ahead of both their opponents and Porto, while tied on seven points with leaders Young Boys.
On his goal, Ojo told the Official Rangers Podcast: "It was a massive day not only for me but the players. It was our first game in the group stage and it was important we started off with a win.
"It was special not only to score but to help my team as much as I can in every game is always important.
"It was definitely a game to look back on but I want to emulate that and produce a lot more moments like that by the end of the season.
"We have been in a great position so far this season in the Europa League and we are maybe one win away from going to the next round so everyone is really excited for the game."

Cross-boarder eCommerce
The client is one of America’s largest department stores and had identified China as a market for international expansion. The client wanted to use an online-only market entry model that would allow them to test the market before investing in traditional physical retailing models. We helped client build the eCommerce website/App and provide customised digital experience for Chinese customer.
We started project with customer insights. The 200+ survey responses and 20+ interview records supported us to design the persona and user journey
The journey clearly shows how the target customers usually shopping on the digital devices. It helped us find the opportunities for our products
Age 20-30, Single, who follow the fashion trend and would like to get fashion recommendation from experts
Age 30-40, Married, who spend most money on family products, e.g. Maternal and child, Household products, and have more interests on promotions.
As client are going to bring the largest catalog into China, we enriched the product data and curated content to be relevant in the China market. In terms of product details, Chinese consumer prefer to review the rich content of product, so besides the base template which shows basic w2w info integrated from brand.com, we also proposed a rich template for hottest products, which will show the customized comprehensive info, including images and videos.

MODIFIER TYPES
C++ allows the char, int, and double data types to have modifiers preceding them. A
modifier is used to alter the meaning of the base type so that it more precisely fits the needs
of various situations.
The data type modifiers are listed here:
- signed
- unsigned
- long
- short
The modifiers signed, unsigned, long, and short can be applied to integer base types. In
addition, signed and unsigned can be applied to char, and long can be applied to double.
The modifiers signed and unsigned can also be used as prefix to long or short modifiers.
For example, unsigned long int.
C++ allows a shorthand notation for declaring unsigned, short, or long integers. You can
simply use the word unsigned, short, or long.
unsigned x; unsigned int y;
To understand the difference between the way signed and unsigned integer modifiers are
interpreted by C++, you should run the following short program:
example:
#include < iostream > using namespace std; /* This program shows the difference between * signed and unsigned integers. */ int main() { short int i; // a signed short integer short unsigned int j; // an unsigned short integer j = 50000; i = j; cout << i << " " << j; return 0; }
When this program is run, following is the output:
-15536 50000The above result is because the bit pattern that represents 50,000 as a short unsigned integer is interpreted as -15,536 by a short.
Type Qualifiers in C++
The type qualifiers provide additional information about the variables they precede.
| Qualifier | meaning |
| const | Objects of type const cannot be changed by your program during execution |
| volatile | The modifier volatile tells the compiler that a variable's value may be changed in ways not explicitly specified by the program. |
| restrict | A pointer qualified by restrict is initially the only means by which the object it points to can be accessed. Only C99 adds a new type qualifier called restrict. |
STORAGE CLASSES
A storage class defines the scope (visibility) and life-time of variables and/or functions within a C++ Program. These specifiers precede the type that they modify. There are following storage classes, which can be used in a C++ Program
- auto
- register
- static
- extern
- mutable
The auto Storage Class
The auto storage class is the default storage class for all local variables
{ int mount; auto int month; }
The register Storage Class
The register storage class is used to define local variables that should be stored in a register instead of RAM. This means that the variable has a maximum size equal to the register size (usually one word) and can't have the unary '&' operator applied to it (as it does not have a memory location).
{ register int miles; }
The register should only be used for variables that require quick access such as counters. It should also be noted that defining 'register' does not mean that the variable will be stored in a register. It means that it MIGHT be stored in a register depending on hardware and implementation restrictions.
The static Storage Class
The static storage class instructs the compiler to keep a local variable in existence during the
life-time of the program instead of creating and destroying it each time it comes into and
goes out of scope. Therefore, making local variables static allows them to maintain their
values between function calls.
The static modifier may also be applied to global variables. When this is done, it causes that
variable's scope to be restricted to the file in which it is declared.
In C++, when static is used on a class data member, it causes only one copy of that member
to be shared by all objects of its class.
example:
#include < iostream.h > // Function declaration void func(void); static int count = 10; /* Global variable */ main() { while(count--) { func(); } return 0; } // Function definition void func( void ) { static int i = 5; // local static variable i++; std::cout << "i is " << i ; std::cout << " and count is " << count << std::endl; }
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
i is 6 and count is 9 i is 7 and count is 8 i is 8 and count is 7 i is 9 and count is 6 i is 10 and count is 5 i is 11 and count is 4 i is 12 and count is 3 i is 13 and count is 2 i is 14 and count is 1 i is 15 and count is 0
The extern Storage Class
The extern storage class is used to give a reference of a global variable that is visible to ALL
the program files. When you use 'extern' the variable cannot be initialized as all it does is
point the variable name at a storage location that has been previously defined.
When you have multiple files and you define a global variable or function, which will be used
in other files also, then extern will be used in another file to give reference of defined variable
or function. Just for understanding extern is used to declare a global variable or function in
another file.
The extern modifier is most commonly used when there are two or more files sharing the
same global variables or functions as explained below.
First File: main.cpp
example:
#include < iostream > int count ; extern void write_extern(); main() { count = 5; write_extern(); }
Second File: support.cpp
example:
#includeextern int count; void write_extern(void) { std::cout << "Count is " << count << std::endl; }
The mutable Storage Class
The mutable specifier applies only to class objects, which are discussed later in this tutorial. It allows a member of an object to override const member function. That is, a mutable member can be modified by a const member function.


January 27, 1756 - December 05, 1791
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, where his father Leopold was a violinist and composer. Wolfgang (or Wolferl, as his family called him) was a child prodigy. He composed his first piece of music at age five; he had his first piece published when he was seven; and he wrote his first opera when he was twelve. By the time Wolfgang was 6, he was an excellent pianist and violinist. He and his sister Maria Anna (known as Nannerl) traveled all over Europe performing for royalty.
When he grew up, Mozart moved to Vienna, and tried to earn a living as a pianist and composer. But he had a lot of trouble handling the fact that he was no longer a child prodigy.  Back then, musicians were treated like servants, but Mozart did not, and could not think of himself as a servant.
Mozart was only 35 when he died. During his short life, he composed in all different musical forms, including operas, symphonies, concertos, masses, and chamber music. Today, he is still considered a genius!


About Me
Hi there, I'm Robert. I am a senior student attending the University of the Bahamas majoring in Computer Information Systems with a concentration in computer networking. I have always been fascinated with taking things apart and seeing how they work and as such became very much interested in technology. Acting on that interest I have learned and continue to keep abreast with not only programming languages and technology but also their implications toward society as a whole.
In addition to technology languages also interest me. This has led me to learn
other languages when I am not reading up on technologies or programming. I can
both speak and write Spanish at an Intermediate level as well as express my opinions
on a variety of topics. I am currently learning Japanese at the moment
( 私は日本語を勉強しています。). After becoming more familiar with
the language I plan to hopefully learn more languages in the future.
That's just a little about me. Feel free to reach out to me through the contact page if you're interested in working with me or have a cool idea or project.

Areas
Introduction
File areas are used to influence file system behaviour. By setting basic restrictions you can set boundaries to allow a flexible use inside those limits without worrying about unauthorized access of files and directories.
Configuration
By default file areas have unlimited access through all directories. (The default area is defined as base_config
in File config file.) There are two ways to set
these configuration values. The quickest way is to pass an array intro the
File::forge() method.
$config = array(
'basedir' => DOCROOT.'uploads',
'use_locks' => true,
);
$area = \File::forge($config);
A more centralized way is by defining an area (or more) inside your File config file. To do so, copy core/config/file.php into app/config/file.php (or create a new one) and define your area inside the 'areas' array. Now you can get the area by supplying the string identifier to the File::forge() method.
// inside app/config/file.php
'areas' => array(
'my_area' => array(
'basedir' => DOCROOT.'uploads',
'use_locks' => true,
),
),
// Now get the area
$area = \File::instance('my_area');
Usage
There are 2 ways to use areas in the File class.
The first is to use areas in a static context, supply a File_Area instance or identifier to the
function you're calling.
// Read the contents of a directory
try
{
$dir = File::read_dir('somedir', 0, null, 'my_area');
}
catch(\FileAccessException $e)
{
// Operation failed
}
The second way is to call the functions directly from the area itself.
// Get the area
$area = File::instance('my_area');
try
{
$dir = $area->read_dir('somedir', 0, null);
}
catch(\FileAccessException $e)
{
// Operation failed
}

Words Starting With a Letter
Write down a word starting with a specific letter on paper or a text editor (If you're using Microsoft Windows, use Notepad or Word. If you're using Apple Mac, use TextEdit or Word).
Keep going!
Describe The Scene
Google "describe the scene", pick one and then you should describe the scene out loud.
Grammarly Website
I have used Grammarly after my stroke, and it's a game-changer for me. I love automatically checking my grammar while I'm writing an email or text message.
If you want to improve your writing, the official website is here.
Conversation Between You and Your Amazon Alexa
A few lines to say include "what is the weather today?", "what is the date today?" and "what is the temperature tomorrow?".
Attend the Toastmasters Sessions
Check out the official website to see the sessions near to you.
I have been to the Toastmasters in Manchester in the UK. I know it's very daunting the first time you attend, but everyone understands you and the session goal is to improve everyone's speech.
If You Like Coffee or Tea!
Go out to a coffee shop and order something you like, "a latte, please" for example.

 You deserve it!


70.3 / Ironman and most ultra endurance endevours are strength-endurance sports.
Came across this ‘Without strength speed cannot be accomplished. Strength determines the rate of force development (RFD) meaning how fast your muscles contracts to produce a maximal amount of force. With minimal strength there is low RFD meaning that the muscles in your body will not be able to get you to the finish before the guy that can produce the same amount of force in a shorter period of time.’
People can lose natural speed and strength because they train it out of the body. 70.3 / Ironman and ultra running... are strength-endurance sports. Without great muscle fibre recruitment and the ability for fibres to forcefully contract REPEATEDLY for the long haul you greatly diminish ability and thus 'speed'.
What we are trying to maintain is build and maintain our strength and thus increase natural speed. When we do this right, endurance happens as a by product of this. 70.3/Ironman is the ability to endure. Muscles/systems ability to endure over a long period of time (9/10 hours). Being strong in the backend of the race is key.
Remember the fastest person is the one who slows down the least.

With Git you will make a copy of the entire code repository on your local machine, so you will have access to all history and branches offline. This is the fastest and most flexible way to develop or test patches.
Git
You will need an installed version of Git, which you can get from http://git-scm.com. Many systems already have a recent version of Git installed by default, or available in their package distribution system.
To begin using the Git repository, make a clone of the official mirror:
git clone git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git
This will copy the full repository to your local machine, so it may take a while to complete, especially if you have a slow Internet connection. The files will be placed in a new subdirectory postgresql of your current directory.
The Git mirror can also be reached via the HTTP protocol, if for example a firewall is blocking access to the Git protocol. Just change the URL prefix to http, as in:
git clone http://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git
The HTTP protocol is less efficient than the Git protocol, so it will be slower to use.
Whenever you want to get the latest updates in the system, cd into the repository, and run:
git fetch
Git can do a lot more things than just fetch the source. For more information, consult the Git man pages, or see the website at http://git-scm.com.

Part 6 - Navigation Arrows and Pagination Controls (Unstyled)
In this example, we've told PlusSlider to output navigation arrows ("Previous" and "Next" links that users can click to advance the slider forwards or backwards by 1 slide) and pagination controls (numbers "1", "2", and "3" that users can click on to advance to a specific slide).
Note that PlusSlider outputs these controls by default, so we can simply remove the "createArrows: false" and "createPagination: false" options from the initialization javascript to make them appear.
Hmm... something doesn't look right here. We only see the navigation arrows ("Previous" and "Next"), but not the pagination controls. And the bottom of the slides are cut off. What's going on?
If you inspect the page (with your developer tools, not "view source"), you'll see that some more HTML elements have been added by PlusSlider:

Previous

Next

1

2

3

A "plusslider-arrows-wrapper" div was added above our #slider1 div, and a "plusslider-pagination-wrapper" div was added below our #slider1 div.
The "arrows" div is pushing down the #slider1 div, and because the ".plusslider" wrapper div that surrounds everything has the "overflow: hidden" style set in CSS,
the bottom of the slides get cut off.
The "overflow:hidden" style on the .plusslider wrapper is also why you can't see the pagination controls (because they are below the slides, and hence also get "cut off" by being outside the boundary of the .plusslider wrapper div).
There are several potential solutions to this problem:
Remove the "overflow: hidden" style from the ".plusslider" div in the CSS←this would break the slider functionalitySet an explicit width and height on the #slider1 div in the CSS←this has no effect because PlusSlider overwrites width/height based on slide sizes (so the slider works with slides of differing sizes)Add padding to the #slider1 div so there is "breathing room" around it for the controls←this causes previous and next slides to "peek through" when using the slide effect- Absolutely position the controls so they appear "in front of" or "floating above" the slider
- Put the arrows/pagination divs outside the ".plusslider" wrapper div (using the "arrowsPosition" and "paginationPosition" javascript options) and position them against a new outer wrapper div that has the "position:relative" style.
Option #5 is more complex (and requires you to add a non-semantic wrapper div), but works in all situations.
One final note before we move on: if all this talk about positioning elements has you confused, I highly recommend going through this quick tutorial on CSS positioning. You will be enlightened!
HTML Source:

CSS Source:
/* Essential slider functionality (never changes) */
.plusslider { overflow: hidden; position: relative; }
.plusslider-container { position: relative; }
.plusslider .child { float: left; }
.plustype-fader .child { display: none; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; } /* only applies to fader type (not slider) */
.plustype-fader .current { z-index: 5; } /* only applies to fader type (not slider) */
.plusslider a img { border: none; } /* prevent blue borders in IE, which break "slider" type by altering the spacing */
/* No-javascript fallback (change "#slider1" selectors below to suit your html) */
#slider1 > * { display: none; }
#slider1 > *:first-child { display: block; }

LLVM IR assembly code can be compiled to native assembly code,
which then can be assembled and linked into a native executable.
Alternatively, LLVM IR assembly code can be assembled into bitcode,
which can be linked together into a portable executable.
Such portable executable can be interpreted or
further processed into a native executable.
Note that, linking LLVM IR bitcode files into portable executable,
enables the possibility of performing link-time optimizations.

“Flipped” car set-up led to di Grassi Formula E Saudi Arabia podium
by Jake Boxall-LeggeLucas di Grassi says that his Audi team's decision to 'flip his car overnight' contributed to his first podium finish of the season at the second Diriyah Formula E race.
Di Grassi finished 13th in the first race, having struggled to make significant inroads from 19th on the grid after being stuck in the first qualifying group.
But an overnight change in setup aboard his car, paired with a berth in the third qualifying group, meant di Grassi could take greater advantage of the evolving street course in Saudi Arabia.
The Brazilian driver converted his third-place grid spot into third in the race, which became second after Maximilian Guenther's time penalty for overtaking under yellow flags.
"We flipped the car overnight," explained di Grassi, "to try to find performance yesterday where we struggled a lot.
"Even in the race, we didn't have the pace but today was much better in the race. In the end, the race we had a good pace, we're saving the energy."
When asked what kind of work Audi's overnight changes entailed, di Grassi refused to be drawn on the specifics - but suggested that it covered a range of suspension setup changes.
"I cannot go into a lot of detail of course," di Grassi told Autosport. "You work on anything from suspension geometry, springs, anti-roll bars, ride height, if you are expecting certain performance [which] is not there.
"It's not like F1 or LMP1 where you have Friday night to analyse data, Saturday, everything [in Formula E] happens very quickly, so if you have something wrong with your car, it's very hard to find.
"So we took a chance, we tried stuff that we thought would work today and from FP3, so from this morning, we're already much faster.
"So that shows that with the same car you can find a lot of performance going from one race to another.
"We managed to put it in the right direction today, we're relatively quick, not the best car on the grid of course, [but] much better than yesterday."


The first section allows you to
Trsm_llnn
llnn
indicates that the matrix L is
The above makes more sense to those who are familiar with the level-3 Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS).
In the second section, you need to indicate the number of operands for the function and some attributes of those operands:
| Tag: | The letter to be used for the variables. |
| Type: | The type of the operand: matrix, vector, or scalar. |
| Direction: | The direction in which the computation sweeps through the operand. |
| Input/Output: |
Whether an operand represents input, output, or both. Note: For now, it is wise not to indicate that an operand is only an output variable. |
The convention is that
- upper-case letters denote matrices,
- lower-case letters denote vectors, and a "t" at the end of the name indicates a row-vector, and
- lower-case Greek letters denote scalars.
Next, you pick the output language to be generated:
| FLAME@lab | Mscript for Matlab or Octave |
| FLAMEC | Code for the C programming language using the FLAME infrastructure. |
| PLAPACK | Code for the C programming language targeting distributed memory architectures using the Parallel Linear Algebra PACKage (PLAPACK) instructure. |
| FLaTeX: | Source for generating an algorithm using LaTeX. |
Finally, you can indicate your name and e-mail so that the header identifies you as the person who coded the algorithm.

An insider's guide to London, featuring the best hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, attractions and things to do, including how to travel there and around. By Sophie Campbell, Telegraph Travel's London expert. Click on the tabs below for the best places to stay, eat, drink and shop, including the best things to do and what to do on a short break.
Culturally, London is surfing the wave of recent events, including the Royal Wedding, Diamond Jubilee and London 2012 Olympics. The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park has reopened and is anchoring another new quarter of London. Spaces such as the British Museum,
the Royal National Theatre and both Tate galleries are expanding. The range of restaurants, bars, theatres, sports, pop-ups, performance art and large-scale events is astounding. Right here, right now, London is somewhere you have to be.
London is always open for business, but expect skeleton service on big holidays and weather extremes (by our standards) may cause transport havoc. Shoppers pour in from across the world for January and July sales. The Frieze Art Fair has turned October
into an unofficial art month. The quietest time is post- Christmas to late March and the busiest is July/August, when school groups arrive like noisy swallows to replace the holidaying business market. There is no summer exodus as in Paris or Buenos
Aires.
There are four airports, London Heathrow (due west), London Gatwick (south east), London Stansted (north east) and London Luton (north).
If not in a hurry, take the bus - they make several stops in central London, so may go near your hotel - or take the local stopping train with Souther (southernrailway.com). Victoria to Gatwick takes 36 to 58 minutes and costs £11 for a single, but be sure it stops at the airport.
Ships moor at Tilbury, 25 miles from central London in the Thames Estuary (londoncruiseterminal.com). There is a shuttle bus to Tilbury Town railway station, a mile away, where C2C trains reach Fenchurch Street in 35 minutes. Most passengers travel into London by coach, which takes approximately an hour.
Eurostar runs out of St Pancras International, Paris 2hrs 15 from £69, Lille 1hr 20 from £69, Brussels 3hrs 4 minutes from £69.
If you live in the UK, join ZipCar- joining fee £59.90 or £6 per month, and pick up a car for as little as £5 an hour or £49 per 24 hours. The Congestion Charge is paid automatically. EasyCar does good deals on small cars – from as little as £10 per day at Heathrow.
For longer periods, the London Cycling Campaign (lcc.org.uk) has a list of hire shops: On Your Bike (onyourbike.com) near London Bridge in Montague Close, SE1, does day hire for £18 for the first day and £10 thereafter and a week for £45.
London's renowned Black Cabs (tfl.gov.uk), famous for their long training, are the only ones allowed to ply for hire and are only available if their orange lights are on (tricky to see in summer). Minimum fare is £2.40 and fares jump after 8pm and again after 10pm. Download the Hailo app (hailocab.com/london) to find the Black Cab nearest to you for no extra charge
The Tube, or Underground, is a fantastic network when running smoothly. The newest line is the orbital London Overground (coloured orange on the map), connecting 20 London boroughs. Buses are cheaper, slower, have better views and mightily improved signage and maps, but no longer accept cash.


Revision Current Public Release (2013.2076) Keywords extensions, enterprise, plugins, modules See also Native coding Native API (iOS) Native API (Android)
Corona Enterprise allows you to extend the standard Corona APIs by adding your custom native extensions.
While Lua already supports the creation of new libraries via the module/require mechanism, on various OS's this functionality is restricted to libraries implemented in Lua.
Corona Enterprise removes this restriction by enabling you to add libraries that are implemented as native code. In other words, you can wrap native code behind a Lua interface so it looks just like any other Corona API (e.g. the 'display' library).
In Corona Enterprise, you will have access to a special Native API that lets you create you own Lua-based API's for use by your project code (e.g. main.lua).
The following diagram shows where your custom native extension fits in the Corona technology stack:
The layer called 'Native Extension' is the native code that you write to offer new functionality that's accessible by your Lua project. It builds on Corona's Native API that's part of the Corona Engine.
On iOS, the native API is Objective-C. On Android, it's Java.
The App
project is a project template that allows you to develop for both iOS and Android. You should copy this project for each new Enterprise project.
This project has several sub-folders:
ios
Contains all iOS-specific code, projects, etc.android
Contains all Android-specific code, projects, etc.Corona
This is the classical Corona project, e.g. main.lua
, images, etc.For your convenience, the projects are structured so that your extensions are packaged as plugins. In both the iOS and Android version of the App
project, the Lua library plugin.library
is created.
See 'Plugin Projects' under the Plugin guide for more information.
Corona Enterprise is currently available on Mac OS X 10.7.4 and higher.
In addition, for each target platform you will need the following installed:
