Bhavaya is a Java library that provides real-time and up-to-date access to database data. It contains a persistence layer that inflates and maintains Java objects from database data, keeping the objects current with the data. The library also provides a large number of user interface and utility classes often required when dealing with continually changing data.
The Bhavaya persistence layer is different from other implementations such as Hibernate and Castor in that the properties of Bhavaya's objects always reflect the current value of the data in the database. That is, if the database data changes then the data in Bhavaya's objects is automatically updated. Bhavaya does not require any pre-existing architecture, it can be used, easily, with existing databases and existing object schemas.
Out of the box, the library is a fully-functioning database viewer. Alternatively, any of its components may be added to an existing application. For example, the Bhavaya persistence layer could be added to an application that previously snap-shotted database data to give it real-time functionality.
Where next?

Vaseline Intensive Care healthy white skin lightning body milk
Have been using this product on a regular basis for over a year now, I find this variation of Vaseline much lighter when compared to other Vaseline body lotions. I have used Vaseline for so many years now, it started with petroleum jelly as kids, then body lotion classic, aloe vera, cocoa butter and now healthy white.
Price: 165 for 300ml (Got Pond's daily face wash 50g FREE)
Product boasts of: Skin glows when it is in its healthiest condition - even your body skin
Vaseline healthy white has a combination of efficacious ingredients to help give you fairer, healthy looking skin
- Vitamin B3 - known to enhance skins natural lightening process to help bring out its natural fairness
- Yogurt serum - Help provide moisturizer and nourishment to skin
- Triple sunscreen - to help prevent further darkening caused by damaging
Direction for use: For Optimal results, apply twice a day everyday on your body skin
Warnings:
- Store away from direct sunlight
- In unlikely event of skin irritation, stop using and consult a physician immediately
- For external use only
Product contains: Water, Isopropyl Myristate, Nacinamide, Stearic acid, Glyceryl stearate, mineral oil, Ethexyl methoxycinnamate, glycerin, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Dimeticone, Buyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Carbomer, Cetyl alcohol, Methylparaben, glutamic acid, Sodium PCA, Titanium dioxide, Propylparaben, sodium hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Hydrated silica, Aluminum Hydroxyde, Glycine soja (Soybean), Sterol, Alginic acid, Leticin,
What I Like about the product:
- Non sticky and very light on the skin,
- Although I used it for so long, but it has not lightened my skin, but has maintained the same texture as before,
- Apt moisturizer, and skin feels soft for a long time,
- Like the smell
What I dont like about the product:
- Too much chemical, inclusion of paraben
- Did not lighten my skin, as said
- SPF number not mentioned :(
Will definitely buy this again n again, its so light on my skin and it has lovely fragrance. If you intend to whiten your skin, this is not the product :(
Have you tried this product yet ?

Special Halloween report: 8-year-old Peyton Dilbert was live from Long Island
by WABCHUNTINGTON STATION, Long Island (WABC) -- Meet the newest Eyewitness News reporter!
Meteorologist Lee Goldberg told the Eyewitness News team that we needed to bolster our reporter staff for Halloween, so we called up 8-year-old Peyton Dilbert to give us the latest from Long Island.
From Huntington Station, Peyton told Channel 7 viewers that they should expect clouds and mild weather.
"It's not too cold. It's not too hot," he said during his live report.
He also predicted plenty of M&M's and Reese's Pieces in the trick-or-treating forecast.
This Halloween, Peyton dressed up as an Eyewitness News reporter -- with our signature Circle 7 microphone included. We found him after his dad tweeted a photo of the costume and tagged the Eyewitness News Weekend Morning team.
"My Son Loves watching you guys in the morning!!!!! He wants to be a ABC 7 reporter," he tweeted.
Unfortunately, Peyton won't be able to stay with us -- he needs to finish the third grade! Yet make sure to tune into Channel 7 in 2039 -- right now, he's slated to be N.J. Burkett's replacement!


The office assistant wasthe boss’s man,spineless, and with no understanding. What about if he reported sick? But that would be extremely strained and suspicious as in fifteen years of service Gregor had never once yet been ill
His boss would certainly come round with the doctor from the medical insurance company, accuse his parents of having a lazy son, and accept the doctor’s recommendation not to make any claim as the doctor believed that no-one was ever ill but that many were workshy. And what’s more, would he have been entirely wrong in this case? Gregor did in fact, apart from excessive sleepiness after sleeping for so long, feel completely well and even felt much hungrier than usual.
He was still hurriedly thinking all this through, unable to decide to get out of the bed, when the clock struck quarter to seven. There was a cautious knock at the door near his head. Gregor, somebody called – it was his mother – it’s quarter to seven. Didn’t you want to go somewhere? That gentle voice, Gregor was shocked when he heard his own voice answering, it could hardly be recognised as the voice he had had before
Gregor had wanted to give a full answer and explain everything but in the circumstances contented himself with saying- I’m getting up now.
The change in Gregor’s voice probably could not be noticed outside through the wooden door, as his mother was satisfied with this explanation and shuffled away
But this short conversation made the other members of the family aware that Gregor, against their expectations was still at home, and soon his father came knocking at one of the side doors gently but with his fist

testname
: The name of the test.uri
: The API endpoint for the cloud vendor. This contains a
response indicating what the expected return from the API is for a given
test.
expected_vendors_hash
: The vendor hash that should be
generated by the agent based on the uri response.
expected_metrics
: Supportability metrics that are either
expected or unexpected in a given case. If the

For more than a decade our Junior World Affairs Councils (JWACs) have been a global triumph on local campuses. Our JWAC program has been linking students to the world since 2004. With more than 50 chapters in North Texas, JWAC is a great way for high school students to learn about international issues and become more globally aware. JWAC chapters can be started at any high school with students in grades 9-12 with the support of one of the school’s teachers as a sponsor.
The Council will help you create a Junior World Affairs Council for your campus. It's a simple process with a $25 JWAC membership fee. Your steps: (1) organize a group of internationally interested students and (2) get in touch with us. You and your students will travel beyond classroom walls and pages in textbooks to real-time, firsthand sessions with diplomats, dignitaries, leaders, authors and others who understand global issues and opportunities in business and education.
Plus, there are great membership rewards for educators who are Council members at the JWAC level. It’s an extracurricular activity that pays off in knowledge and, now and then, scholarships, grants and study tours.
During the 2016-2017 academic year, the World Affairs Council of DFW is excited to partner with ConnecTeach in an effort to provide our JWAC students with global leadership skill development and give back to the international community.
JWAC Presidents will meet up to five times throughout the year to learn more about issues such as conflict, gender inequality, and environmental sustainability. Those JWACs which choose to will also raise funds to support ConnecTeach’s work to empower teachers and students in the world’s poorest communities.
JWACs may host dinners at local ethnic restaurants to enhance learning about cuisines and cultures. All JWAC students and sponsors will be invited to attend, eat well and socialize! Each attendee is responsible for his or her own check. If your JWAC is interested in hosting a dinner, email Amy Miller with information about a suggested date and restaurant.
JWAC students are eligible to apply for a Global Leadership Certificate in the spring each year. They must meet the following requirements:
Deadline for submission: 11:59 p.m. (CST), Tuesday, February 28, 2017
To apply, email Amy Miller the following documents in PDF or Word format:
The Council’s 20 Under 20 Program honors students for their educational and civic accomplishments. The top 20 qualifying applicants will be selected and honored for their accomplishments. Senior JWAC students are eligible to apply for the 20 Under 20 Program in the spring if they meet the following requirements:
Deadline for submission: 11:59 p.m. (CST), Tuesday, March 7, 2017
To apply, email Amy Miller the following documents in PDF or Word format:
Based on applications for that year's 20 Under 20 Class, a Council advisory panel will choose one winner of the Global Gateway Grant, a $2,000 grant. Three finalists will be chosen and invited to attend the luncheon with up to two guests per finalist. Application instructions will be added to the website soon. The winner of the grant will be announced at the International Educator of the Year Luncheon in the spring.
Each year, World Affairs Councils around the United States host PwC Academic WorldQuest competitions for high school students. The World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth hosts nearly 100 North Texas area teams, which participate each February. Teams of four (4) study for a chance to compete on the national level in Washington D.C. against other regional winners. Each JWAC may enter up to three (3) teams at $25 each.

Inmate plucks out eyes
Macon Telegraph | Submitted by: Eye Witness
"A schizophrenic man who was jailed after wandering into traffic and
knocking on doors late at night gouged out his own eyes in his cell,
authorities said Friday... Smith had no injuries to his eyelids or face,
which almost certainly would have occurred if someone else attacked him...
"The only thing he said was that somebody put ink in his head, and it
was clouding up his thinking."

George Michael: Olympic songwriter?
BBC | Submitted by: Ann Onymous
Fate does strange things. Consider the case of George Michael, currently
persona non grata in the U.S. of A. because he dissed George W. Bush. Now,
the Athens Olympic committee has asked him to write their theme song. Why?
Apparently Michael's Greek roots impressed them more than his politics. Either
that, or it's how he looks in a leopard thong, leaping on top of Cherie Blair.

Mad scientists attend secret annual conference

"In its 42-year history, no Jason [organization] press conference has ever

mountain fastness of Los Alamos, N.M., where some of these scientists haved
worked. On rare occasions there have been leaks about hearty laughter, as
when one Nobel laureate arrived in La Jolla with his foot in a cast,
explaining that when his trash compactor broke down, he decided the

@runpaint your coin is on AtomicDEX now
Oszy20-Oct-19 12:54 PM
is it just me or i can't see it in the coins file?
runpaint20-Oct-19 01:34 PM
@t0sma thanks!
runpaint20-Oct-19 01:48 PM
@Oszy did you download the new update?
Oszy20-Oct-19 03:11 PM
No i was checking the official coins list file on github for mm2 cli
I see it in atomicdex :)
When can we see orders?
runpaint20-Oct-19 07:20 PM
There are lots of orders now
@kmdkrazy - yes this is a very embarrassing typographical error in our announcement. However, because of the decentralized nature of this project, we don't use checkpointing. Therefore we must allow the typo to remain, just as it would on the blockchain.
kmdkrazy20-Oct-19 07:46 PM
Ok....wrong place for this post... but are you keeping your broken link too @runpaint ???(edited)
runpaint20-Oct-19 07:47 PM
@kmdkrazy Commode.io was redirecting to the main site, then I was going to clone the mining pool at that url, but the mining pool isn't working. I apologize for the inconvenience and personal trouble you've experienced
Was there any other broken link besides that one? If not, please correct your statement from "broken links" to "broken link"
runpaint20-Oct-19 07:59 PM
Thank you for the revision. Our technical team is working to fix the link, and Komodo team is working to fix the pool. The support from the community makes it all worthwhile
kmdkrazy20-Oct-19 09:17 PM

That's wonderful! How much did you pay?
wolfgang24-Oct-19 08:17 AM
Hello all - im trying to figure out if this is the right solution for me.
Is the wallet available through antara mobile friendly?
Basically want a token for a competition ill be running for a local community here.
Dont know if using antara and kmd would be the way to go or just use RVN?
tokens earnt through the comp will be ongoing like a currency for this community

Markus24-Oct-19 08:20 AM
atomicdex wallet is very user friendly yes
3
Regnar24-Oct-19 01:03 PM
@wolfgang what type of competition is it going to be? Also are the participants developer heavy or not really? This is to give me an idea of what is the best fit for you. Generally Antara is the simplest route and the best looking as you can get the wallet, explorers, etc with Antara.
If your community is heavy developers they may be more interested in the nitty gritty parts of it, and you may want to explore the documentation for command line interface. However this wouldn't be a great route if you prefer everyone to be able to have their coins on mobile wallets.
If the coins are rewards for a competition, and it isn't something like a blockchain developer competition, I would suggest Antara. That will give you the coins, the wallets, the explorers, basically everything you need to provide coins as rewards and for your community to interact with them, hodl, send them, trade, check them out on explorers, the user friendly crypto experience.
1
@ca333 is definitely the go to here for walking you through Antara and making sure it is the right fit for you and your goals if you would prefer to discuss your plans in a less public channel.
ca33324-Oct-19 01:16 PM
Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions @wolfgang - @Regnar just explained it perfectly.
Antara lets you set up your blockchain/token, the entire minimal infrastructure to form a p2p network, blockchain explorer, SPV infrastructure, mining nodes, and much more just with a few clicks - however, it is not a pre-requirement to use Antara in order to build your chain on KMD and to get the mobile DEX wallet. Everything is pretty much very independent of each other on our platform.
Mining hashes has been same whole day but for some reason it just stopped to latest block
SHossain05-Nov-19 01:51 PM
there wasn't enough miners on COMMOD
Mark8105-Nov-19 01:52 PM
its going on now...
SHossain05-Nov-19 01:52 PM
hashrate on that pool doesn't seem to be accurate
i started mining few mins ago to get it moving
Mark8105-Nov-19 01:52 PM
ok, thanks
ca33305-Nov-19 02:23 PM
as pointed out by Shossain - the COMMOD network seems lacking miners @Mark81 (cc: @runpaint )
Mark8105-Nov-19 02:27 PM
okay, my tx was stuck for a while and now its moving again. its just weird that pool shows steady hashes and still tx can get stuck. Is there pool upgrade for commod if its not working proberly? @runpaint
ca33305-Nov-19 02:41 PM
the pool is working properly - only the hashrate stats are not 100% reliable/approp.
Mark8105-Nov-19 02:55 PM
Over their ann someone complained lack of higher diff for asics?
runpaint05-Nov-19 03:06 PM
Yeah I don't know why, I've had my ASICs and rentals on it nonstop. Sometimes a block can take 10 times the target time to find, but 45 minutes seems extreme for 1-minute blocks
Cryptoon05-Nov-19 03:51 PM
could be difficulty spikes
Mark8108-Nov-19 03:54 PM
commod chain is again stalled. almost an hour now.
net work is being attacked with high minig power to raise difficulty up.
Difficulty:<PHONE_NUMBER>978075
ciumete09-Nov-19 07:20 AM
commod have no adaptive pow ?!
Mark8109-Nov-19 09:39 AM
No just normal difficulty adjustment. I think aPow would be necessary especially for atomicdex to operate flawlessly with DEX swaps for assetchains.
ciumete09-Nov-19 01:59 PM
can't make swaps if blockchain is stuck !
Oszy09-Nov-19 02:38 PM
well that's up to the Commod team to think about inmplementing
Cryptoon09-Nov-19 04:47 PM
They should rent a mining node in antara tbh
Oszy09-Nov-19 04:57 PM
he has a few asic constantly running, but if someone comes and deliberately raises the diff with nicehash and leave, you cant do much with a couple asics
jl777c09-Nov-19 05:04 PM
adaptivepow was made for such cases

Mark8110-Nov-19 06:59 AM
Commod last block yesterday.
Atomic swaps won't happen with these conditions.
jl777c10-Nov-19 07:14 AM
it seems the pools for commod are not configured right
adaptivepow is recommended for coins without a large number of miners and pools
Mark8110-Nov-19 08:45 AM
Can they switch to adaptive pow without hardforking chain?(edited)
If i am right commod chain bought through antara framework and is in that sence boot uped by komodo devs.
gcharang10-Nov-19 08:50 AM
Can they switch to adaptive pow without hardforking chain?
no, it is a hardforking change
grewalsatinder10-Nov-19 08:53 AM
antara framework is the initializer. and yes komodo team indeed has built it and made it easy, for SMEs to get started with komodo tech to start their own independent blockchain with much less efforts than being a developer, it does not mean it is booted by or started by the komodo devs.
it's the system.
system is created and setup by the komodo devs.
now it's the system who takes care of all things automatically.
and since the system also gives the params to all people who wants to connect to this independent blockchain to make transactions over a fully synchronised network client, it becomes distributed, being spread over multiple nodes than just the initial nodes which started this independent blockchain at the first place.
I guess since it's all the core basics of Network Topologies, could be confusing to non-IT people, but in a Decentralised/Distributed Network there is no central point of failure.
Neither any central point of control.
ah... guess I replied without understanding full context
gcharan covered it in short and to the point
Mark8110-Nov-19 04:57 PM
i am thinking reason for this difficulty spikes to commod. what if this reason is to get network diff to high and after that stall rest of network. And then mine secretly blocks and not publish it? If done succesfully even one day it could cause huge mining rewards?
is there limit to how many blocks can be mined before added to last notarization?
ciumete10-Nov-19 05:00 PM
from about 7 hours no activity on commod blockchain...
Mark8110-Nov-19 05:01 PM
#28669 is the last block that is mined on official pool.
Komodo Insight. View detailed information on all komodo transactions and block. {{ $root.title + $root.titleDetail }}
ciumete10-Nov-19 05:03 PM
nothing ...
Waiting for blocks...
Waiting for transactions...
Mark8110-Nov-19 05:04 PM
last block mined on network so far 28670 according explorers
ciumete10-Nov-19 05:04 PM
at me nothing show...
Mark8110-Nov-19 05:05 PM
they are empty since network is stalled but you can search that blocknumber
ciumete10-Nov-19 05:05 PM
it was stalled last days but shows at what block left, now is different result !
interesting on commod pool are some miners !!! they receive the rewards ?!
Mark8110-Nov-19 05:09 PM
if there is happening background mining and blocks are not published then even pool miners are screwed. hostile mining is so far by now that every reward will be vanishing.
there has been some reason why network was attacked in first place.
i guess its time to get some mining power to pool since if it gets moving and is published then notary nodes will permanently write it to kmd and hostile mining cant erase that.
ciumete10-Nov-19 05:11 PM
how it was attacked ?! have no dpow and apow features enabled ?!
Mark8110-Nov-19 05:11 PM
dpow is enabled
its such my speculation that something is mined in background
ciumete10-Nov-19 05:11 PM
interesting...
Mark8110-Nov-19 05:12 PM
but once it has few block mined it will be notarized and possible mining without publishing blocks will be useless.
ciumete10-Nov-19 05:15 PM
btw, will be created commod channel to inform people what happening , if is, or will be some hardfork, etc ?


After starting and stopping multiple Django projects, I finally decided to take some notes. What I usually do is keep two windows in Emacs: one with an older project and the other with the new one, then copy and paste code.
Here, I hope to create a more organized, step-by-step guide from the beginning.
The current Django project I am developing is called Besouro Direto, a calculator and record-keeping app for investments in Brazil's government bond program called Tesouro Direto.
A "besouro" is a beetle and is somewhat related to growing investments.  As I feel Tesouro Direto won't make you rich overnight, it is a fitting analogy.
Now, let's proceed to the setup and the coding
First, I want Python 3 and Django. (You may prefer Python 2.7 and that's OK. But I want the future of the language). I am developing in Ubuntu and Python 2 seems to be the default, so I set up a virtualenv.
There are many ways to install virtualenv; the easiest is probably with your system's package manager. You may also want virtualenvwrapper to make managing multiple virtualenvs easier. Here, I show the bare minimum.
In a base directory for your Django projects (in this example I am using my home directory), run:
heitor:~$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv
Now activate the virtualenv.
heitor:~$ source venv/bin/activate (venv) heitor:~$ pip install Django
After all this setup, start a new Django project. (dashes are not OK in project names, so I use an underscore).
(venv) heitor:~$ django-admin startproject besouro_direto
(venv) heitor:~$ cd besouro_direto (venv) heitor:~/besouro_direto$ python manage.py startapp sitewide (venv) heitor:~/besouro_direto$ python manage.py startapp experimental
migrate
and then create a superuser. Fill in the prompts.
(venv) heitor:~/besouro_direto$ python manage.py migrate (venv) heitor:~/besouro_direto$ python manage.py createsuperuser
(venv) heitor:~/besouro_direto$ python manage.py runserverThe only meaningful thing available is the Admin site, reachable at http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8000/admin/ Use the superuser account created above. The only thing we can do is manage the site's users and groups.
.gitignore
file in the base directory to avoid saving bytecode and the local database.
# .gitignore __pycache__/ *.py[cod] *$py.class # Django stuff: *.log db.sqlite3
So far, the besouro_direto
base directory looks like this, excluding all __init__.py
and __pycache__
:
besouro_direto (the Django project's base directory) | +- besouro_direto | | (yes, it is a subdirectory with the same name as the | | base directory and I find it confusing) | +- settings.py (project-wide settings that must be updated | | every time a new app is created) | +- urls.py (routes URLs to views) | +- wsgi.py (default settings for deployment) | +- experimental (we created this app with python manage.py startapp) | +- migrations (currently empty) | +- admin.py (models registered here appear in the Admin site) | +- apps.py (define app metadata here) | +- models.py (define data models here) | +- tests.py (test your app's logic) | +- views.py (decide what to present to the end user) | +- sitewide | +- migrations (same file structure as 'experimental') | +- admin.py | +- apps.py | +- models.py | +- tests.py | +- views.py | +- LICENSE.txt +- README.txt +- TODO.txt +- db.sqlite3 (the development database) +- manage.py (executes administration commands like starting the development server, creating apps, and applying migrations)
Next, we will create models for Tesouro Direto bonds, which define what the data should look like.


This is a demo of an article search interface. It allows for searching full-text as well as inclusion of specific tags. This page can also be used in mobile browsers on many smart phones and tablets. There are only a handful of articles (all published in 2011) included in this demo.
Here is how it works:
- The articles are hosted as online documents on Google Drive, which is free for personal or nonprofit use. The articles sharing is set so that they may be viewed by anyone with a link to it, but only edited/removed by owners.
- The articles are indexed in an online spreadsheet, which has a little script that will update the sheet based on all of the documents in a certain online folder (for these particular articles).
- This web page has a little javascript that makes use of the Google Visualization API (application programming interface) - like what you would use to make pretty charts, which is able to query the indexing spreadsheet and return matches and display them in a table. This API has no usage limits, so users can search as much as they like.
A bonus feature of Google Drive is that it has built-in OCR (optical character recognition) ability, so if you upload a PDF document or Image containing text and convert it to a Google Doc, it will pull out the text.

Security¶
Container security paradigms¶
First some background. Most container platforms operate on the
premise, trusted users running trusted containers. This means that
the primary UNIX account controlling the container platform is either
“root” or user(s) that root has deputized (either via sudo
or given access
to a control socket of a root owned daemon process).
Singularity on the other hand, operates on a different premise because
it was developed for HPC type infrastructures where you have users,
none of which are considered trusted. This means the paradigm is
considerably different as we must support untrusted users running
untrusted containers.
Untrusted users running untrusted containers!¶
This simple phrase describes the security perspective Singularity is designed with. And if you additionally consider the fact that running containers at all typically requires some level of privilege escalation, means that attention to security is of the utmost importance.
Privilege escalation is necessary for containerization!¶
As mentioned, there are several containerization system calls and functions which are considered “privileged” in that they must be executed with a certain level of capability/privilege. To do this, all container systems must employ one of the following mechanisms:
Limit usage to root: Only allow the root user (or users granted
sudo
) to run containers. This has the obvious limitation of not allowing arbitrary users the ability to run containers, nor does it allow users to run containers as themselves. Access to data, security data, and securing systems becomes difficult and perhaps impossible.Root owned daemon process: Some container systems use a root owned daemon background process which manages the containers and spawns the jobs within the container. Implementations of this typically have an IPC control socket for communicating with this root owned daemon process and if you wish to allow trusted users to control the daemon, you must give them access to the control socket. This is the Docker model.
SetUID: Set UID is the “old school” UNIX method for running a particular program with escalated permission. While it is widely used due to it’s legacy and POSIX requirement, it lacks the ability to manage fine grained control of what a process can and can not do; a SetUID root program runs as root with all capabilities that comes with root. For this reason, SetUID programs are traditional targets for hackers.
User Namespace: The Linux kernel’s user namespace may allow a user to virtually become another user and run a limited set privileged system functions. Here the privilege escalation is managed via the Linux kernel which takes the onus off of the program. This is a new kernel feature and thus requires new kernels and not all distributions have equally adopted this technology.
Capability Sets: Linux handles permissions, access, and roles via capability sets. The root user has these capabilities automatically activated while non-privileged users typically do not have these capabilities enabled. You can enable and disable capabilities on a per process and per file basis (if allowed to do so).
How does Singularity do it?¶
Singularity must allow users to run containers as themselves which rules out options 1 and 2 from the above list. Singularity supports the rest of the options to following degrees of functionally:
User Namespace: Singularity supports the user namespace natively and can run completely unprivileged (“rootless”) since version 2.2 (October 2016) but features are severely limited. You will not be able to use container “images” and will be forced to only work with directory (sandbox) based containers. Additionally, as mentioned, the user namespace is not equally supported on all distribution kernels so don’t count on legacy system support and usability may vary.
SetUID: This is the default usage model for Singularity because it gives the most flexibility in terms of supported features and legacy compliance. It is also the most risky from a security perspective. For that reason, Singularity has been developed with transparency in mind. The code is written with attention to simplicity and readability and Singularity increases the effective permission set only when it is necessary, and drops it immediately (as can be seen with the
–debug
run flag). There have been several independent audits of the source code, and while they are not definitive, it is a good assurance.Capability Sets: This is where Singularity is headed as an alternative to SetUID because it allows for much finer grained capability control and will support all of Singularity’s features. The downside is that it is not supported equally on shared file systems.
Where are the Singularity priviledged components¶
When you install Singularity as root, it will automatically setup the
necessary files as SetUID (as of version 2.4, this is the default run
mode). The location of these files is dependent on how Singularity was
installed and the options passed to the configure
script. Assuming a default ./configure
run
which installs files into --prefix
of /usr/local
you can find the SetUID programs as
follows:
$ find /usr/local/libexec/singularity/ -perm -4000
/usr/local/libexec/singularity/bin/start-suid
/usr/local/libexec/singularity/bin/action-suid
/usr/local/libexec/singularity/bin/mount-suid
Each of the binaries is named accordingly to the action that it is suited for, and generally, each handles the required privilege escalation necessary for Singularity to operate. What specifically requires escalated privileges?
Mounting (and looping) the Singularity container image
Creation of the necessary namespaces in the kernel
Binding host paths into the container
Removing any of these SUID binaries or changing the permissions on them
would cause Singularity to utilize the non-SUID workflows. Each file
with *-suid
also has a non-suid equivalent:
/usr/local/libexec/singularity/bin/start
/usr/local/libexec/singularity/bin/action
/usr/local/libexec/singularity/bin/mount
While most of these workflows will not properly function without the
SUID components, we have provided these fall back executables for
sites that wish to limit the SETUID capabilities to the bare
essentials/minimum. To disable the SetUID portions of Singularity, you
can either remove the above *-suid
files, or you can edit the setting for allow suid
at
the top of the singularity.conf
file, which is typically located in $PREFIX/etc/singularity/singularity.conf
.
# ALLOW SETUID: [BOOL]
# DEFAULT: yes
# Should we allow users to utilize the setuid program flow within Singularity?
# note1: This is the default mode, and to utilize all features, this option
# will need to be enabled.
# note2: If this option is disabled, it will rely on the user namespace
# exclusively which has not been integrated equally between the different
# Linux distributions.
allow setuid = yes
You can also install Singularity as root without any of the SetUID
components with the configure option --disable-suid
as follows:
$ ./configure --disable-suid --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ sudo make install
Can I install Singularity as a user?¶
Yes, but don’t expect all of the functions to work. If the SetUID components are not present, Singularity will attempt to use the “user namespace”. Even if the kernel you are using supports this namespace fully, you will still not be able to access all of the Singularity features.
Container permissions and usage strategy¶
As a system admin, you want to set up a configuration that is customized for your cluster or shared resource. In the following paragraphs, we will elaborate on this container permissions strategy, giving detail about which users are allowed to run containers, along with image curation and ownership.
These settings can all be found in the Singularity configuration file
which is installed to $PREFIX/etc/singularity/singularity.conf
. When running in a privileged mode, the
configuration file MUST be owned by root and thus the system
administrator always has the final control.
controlling what kind of containers are allowed¶
Singularity supports several different container formats:
squashfs: Compressed immutable (read only) container images (default in version 2.4)
extfs: Raw file system writable container images
dir: Sandbox containers (chroot style directories)
Using the Singularity configuration file, you can control what types of containers Singularity will support:
# ALLOW CONTAINER ${TYPE}: [BOOL]
# DEFAULT: yes
# This feature limits what kind of containers that Singularity will allow
# users to use (note this does not apply for root).
allow container squashfs = yes
allow container extfs = yes
allow container dir = yes
limiting usage to specific container file owners¶
One benefit of using container images is that they exist on the filesystem as any other file would. This means that POSIX permissions are mandatory. Here you can configure Singularity to only “trust” containers that are owned by a particular set of users.
# LIMIT CONTAINER OWNERS: [STRING]
# DEFAULT: NULL
# Only allow containers to be used that are owned by a given user. If this
# configuration is undefined (commented or set to NULL), all containers are
# allowed to be used. This feature only applies when Singularity is running in
# SUID mode and the user is non-root.
#limit container owners = gmk, singularity, nobody
Note
If you are in a high risk security environment, you may want to enable this feature. Trusting container images to users could allow a malicious user to modify an image either before or while being used and cause unexpected behavior from the kernel (e.g. a DOS attack). For more information, please see: https://lwn.net/Articles/652468/
limiting usage to specific paths¶
The configuration file also gives you the ability to limit containers to specific paths. This is very useful to ensure that only trusted or blessed container’s are being used (it is also beneficial to ensure that containers are only being used on performant file systems).
# LIMIT CONTAINER PATHS: [STRING]
# DEFAULT: NULL
# Only allow containers to be used that are located within an allowed path
# prefix. If this configuration is undefined (commented or set to NULL),
# containers will be allowed to run from anywhere on the file system. This
# feature only applies when Singularity is running in SUID mode and the user is
# non-root.
#limit container paths = /scratch, /tmp, /global
Logging¶
Singularity offers a very comprehensive auditing mechanism via the system log. For each command that is issued, it prints the UID, PID, and location of the command. For example, let’s see what happens if we shell into an image:
$ singularity exec ubuntu true
$ singularity shell --home $HOME:/ ubuntu
Singularity: Invoking an interactive shell within container...
ERROR : Failed to execv() /.singularity.d/actions/shell, continuing to /bin/sh: No such file or directory
ERROR : What are you doing gmk, this is highly irregular!
ABORT : Retval = 255
We can then peek into the system log to see what was recorded:
Oct 5 08:51:12 localhost Singularity: action-suid (U=1000,P=32320)> USER=gmk, IMAGE='ubuntu', COMMAND='exec'
Oct 5 08:53:13 localhost Singularity: action-suid (U=1000,P=32311)> USER=gmk, IMAGE='ubuntu', COMMAND='shell'
Oct 5 08:53:13 localhost Singularity: action-suid (U=1000,P=32311)> Failed to execv() /.singularity.d/actions/shell, continuing to /bin/sh: No such file or directory
Oct 5 08:53:13 localhost Singularity: action-suid (U=1000,P=32311)> What are you doing gmk, this is highly irregular!
Oct 5 08:53:13 localhost Singularity: action-suid (U=1000,P=32311)> Retval = 255
A peek into the SetUID program flow¶
We can also add the --debug
argument to any command itself at runtime to see
everything that Singularity is doing. In this case we can run
Singularity in debug mode and request use of the PID namespace so we can
see what Singularity is doing there:
$ singularity --debug shell --pid ubuntu

Not only do I see all of the configuration options that I (probably forgot about) previously set, I can trace the entire flow of Singularity from the first execution of an action (shell) to the final shell into the container. Each line also describes what is the effective UID running the command, what is the PID, and what is the function emitting the debug message.
A peek into the “rootless” program flow¶
The above snippet was using the default SetUID program flow with a
container image file named “ubuntu”. For comparison, if we also use the --userns
flag, and snip in the same places, you can see how the effective UID is
never escalated, but we have the same outcome using a sandbox directory
(chroot) style container.

Here you can see that the output and functionality is very similar,
but we never increased any privilege and none of the *-suid
program flow was
utilized.
Note
Singularity can natively create and manage chroot style
containers just like images! The above image was created using the
command: singularity build ubuntu.dir docker://ubuntu:latest
Summary¶
Singularity supports multiple modes of operation to meet your security needs. For most HPC centers, and general usage scenarios, the default run mode is most effective and featurefull. For the security critical implementations, the user namespace workflow maybe a better option. It becomes a balance security and functionality (the most secure systems do nothing).

They were soon among the pretty hills and valleys again, and the Sawhorse sped up hill and down at a fast and easy pace, the roads being hard and smooth. Mile after mile was speedily covered, and before the ride had grown at all tiresome they sighted another village. The place seemed even larger than Rigmarole Town, but was not so attractive in appearance.
“This must be Flutterbudget Center,” declared the Wizard. “You see, it’s no trouble at all to find places if you keep to the right road.”
“What are the Flutterbudgets like?” inquired Dorothy.
“I do not know, my dear. But Ozma has given them a town all their own, and I’ve heard that whenever one of the people becomes a Flutterbudget he is sent to this place to live.”
“That is true,” Omby Amby added; “Flutterbudget Center and Rigmarole Town are called ‘the Defensive Settlements of Oz.’”
The village they now approached was not built in a valley, but on top of a hill, and the road they followed wound around the hill, like a corkscrew, ascending the hill easily until it came to the town.
“Look out!” screamed a voice. “Look out, or you’ll run over my child!”
They gazed around and saw a woman standing upon the sidewalk nervously wringing her hands as she gazed at them appealingly.
“Where is your child?” asked the Sawhorse.
“In the house,” said the woman, bursting into tears; “but if it should happen to be in the road, and you ran over it, those great wheels would crush my darling to jelly. Oh dear! oh dear! Think of my darling child being crushed into jelly by those great wheels!”
“Gid-dap!” said the Wizard sharply, and the Sawhorse started on.
They had not gone far before a man ran out of a house shouting wildly, “Help! Help!”
The Sawhorse stopped short and the Wizard and Uncle Henry and the Shaggy Man and Omby Amby jumped out of the wagon and ran to the poor man’s assistance. Dorothy followed them as quickly as she could.
“What’s the matter?” asked the Wizard.

Then he turned and rushed back to the house, and all the party went with him. They found a woman in the front dooryard moaning and groaning as if in great pain.
“Be brave, madam!” said the Wizard, consolingly.
“Then what HAS happened?” asked Dorothy.
“I—I pricked my finger with a needle while I was sewing, and—and the blood came!” she replied.
“Why, it’s nothing at all,” declared the girl. “You’re more scared than hurt.”
“Ah, that’s because she’s a Flutterbudget,” said the Wizard, nodding wisely. “I think I know now what these people are like.”
“So do I,” announced Dorothy.
“Oh, boo-hoo-hoo!” sobbed the woman, giving way to a fresh burst of grief.
“What’s wrong now?” asked the Shaggy Man.
“Oh, suppose I had pricked my foot!” she wailed.  But you see you didn’t.”
“But I might have!” she exclaimed, and began to cry again. So they left her and drove away in their wagon. And her husband came out and began calling “Help!” as he had before; but no one seemed to pay any attention to him.
As the travelers turned into another street they found a man walking excitedly up and down the pavement. He appeared to be in a very nervous condition and the Wizard stopped him to ask:
“Is anything wrong, sir?”
“Everything is wrong,” answered the man, dismally. “I can’t sleep.”
“Why not?” inquired Omby Amby.

“No,” said the man, “I never did. But it would be a dreadful thing, wouldn’t it? And the thought of it makes me so nervous I’m afraid to go to sleep.”
“There’s no help for this case,” declared the Wizard; and they went on.
 Oh, good, kind people, save my baby!”
“Is it in danger?” asked Dorothy, noticing that the child was clasped in her arms and seemed sleeping peacefully.
“Yes, indeed,” said the woman, nervously. “If I should go into the house and throw my child out of the window, it would roll way down to the bottom of the hill; and then if there were a lot of tigers and bears down there, they would tear my darling babe to pieces and eat it up!”
“Are there any tigers and bears in this neighborhood?” the Wizard asked.
“I’ve never heard of any,” admitted the woman, “but if there were—”
“Have you any idea of throwing your baby out of the window?” questioned the little man.
“None at all,” she said; “but if—”
“All your troubles are due to those ‘ifs’,” declared the Wizard.  “Are you a Flutterbudget, too?”
“I will be, if I stay here long,” exclaimed the Wizard, nervously.
“Another ‘if’!” cried the woman.
But the Wizard did not stop to argue with her. He made the Sawhorse canter all the way down the hill, and only breathed easily when they were miles away from the village.
After they had ridden in silence for a while Dorothy turned to the little man and asked:
“Do ‘ifs’ really make Flutterbudgets?”
“I think the ‘ifs’ help,” he answered seriously. “Foolish fears, and worries over nothing, with a mixture of nerves and ifs, will soon make a Flutterbudget of any one.”
Then there was another long silence, for all the travelers were thinking over this statement, and nearly all decided it must be true.
The country they were now passing through was everywhere tinted purple, the prevailing color of the Gillikin Country; but as the Sawhorse ascended a hill they found that upon the other side everything was of a rich yellow hue.
“Aha!” cried the Captain General; “here is the Country of the Winkies. We are just crossing the boundary line.”
“Then we may be able to lunch with the Tin Woodman,” announced the Wizard, joyfully.
“Must we lunch on tin?” asked Aunt Em.
“Oh, no;” replied Dorothy. “Nick Chopper knows how to feed meat people, and he will give us plenty of good things to eat, never fear. I’ve been to his castle before.”
“Is Nick Chopper the Tin Woodman’s name?” asked Uncle Henry.
“Yes; that’s one of his names,” answered the little girl; “and another of his names is ‘Emp’ror of the Winkies.’ He’s the King of this country, you know, but Ozma rules over all the countries of Oz.”
“Does the Tin Woodman keep any Flutterbudgets or Rigmaroles at his castle?” inquired Aunt Em, uneasily.
“No indeed,” said Dorothy, positively. “He lives in a new tin castle, all full of lovely things.”
“I should think it would rust,” said Uncle Henry.
“He has thousands of Winkies to keep it polished for him,” explained the Wizard. “His people love to do anything in their power for their beloved Emperor, so there isn’t a particle of rust on all the big castle.”
“I suppose they polish their Emperor, too,” said Aunt Em.
“Why, some time ago he had himself nickel-plated,” the Wizard answered; “so he only needs rubbing up once in a while. He’s the brightest man in all the world, is dear Nick Chopper; and the kindest-hearted.”
“I helped find him,” said Dorothy, reflectively. “Once the Scarecrow and I found the Tin Woodman in the woods, and he was just rusted still, that time, an’ no mistake. But we oiled his joints an’ got ‘em good and slippery, and after that he went with us to visit the Wizard at the Em’rald City.”
“Was that the time the Wizard scared you?” asked Aunt Em.
“He didn’t treat us well, at first,” acknowledged Dorothy; “for he made us go away and destroy the Wicked Witch. But after we found out he was only a humbug wizard we were not afraid of him.”
The Wizard sighed and looked a little ashamed.
“When we try to deceive people we always make mistakes,” he said. “But I’m getting to be a real wizard now, and Glinda the Good’s magic, that I am trying to practice, can never harm any one.”
“You were always a good man,” declared Dorothy, “even when you were a bad wizard.”
“He’s a good wizard now,” asserted Aunt Em, looking at the little man admiringly. “The way he made those tents grow out of handkerchiefs was just wonderful! And didn’t he enchant the wagon wheels so they’d find the road?”
“All the people of Oz,” said the Captain General, “are very proud of their Wizard. He once made some soap-bubbles that astonished the world.”
The Wizard blushed at this praise, yet it pleased him. He no longer looked sad, but seemed to have recovered his usual good humor.
The country through which they now rode was thickly dotted with farmhouses, and yellow grain waved in all the fields. Many of the Winkies could be seen working on their farms and the wild and unsettled parts of Oz were by this time left far behind.
These Winkies appeared to be happy, light-hearted folk, and all removed their caps and bowed low when the red wagon with its load of travelers passed by.
It was not long before they saw something glittering in the sunshine far ahead.
“See!” cried Dorothy; “that’s the Tin Castle, Aunt Em!”
And the Sawhorse, knowing his passengers were eager to arrive, broke into a swift trot that soon brought them to their destination.

China's Alibaba invests US$3.3 billion to raise stake in logistics unit Cainiao
SHANGHAI: China's e-commerce giant, Alibaba Group Holding , said on Friday it would invest an additional 23.3 billion yuan (US$3.33 billion or £2.6 billion) to raise its equity stake in its logistics affiliate Cainiao Smart Logistics Network to 63per cent from 51per cent.
Alibaba co-founded Cainiao in 2013, with partners including department store owner Intime Group, conglomerate Fosun Group and a handful of logistics companies. The network underpins delivery for Alibaba's e-commerce marketplaces.
Alibaba took control of Cainiao two years ago, bumping up its stake to 51per cent from 47per cent at the time, and said it would spend more than 100 billion yuan over five years to build out a global logistics network.
Alibaba said the latest investment would go towards subscribing for newly issued Cainiao shares and an equity interest from an existing shareholder.
It did not provide a breakdown of the acquisition cost for each deal, but its total spending suggests the logistics unit could be worth around US$28 billion.
It said other existing Cainiao shareholders also participated in the fundraising.
"Logistics is a key pillar of the Alibaba business operating System. It allows us to offer the best service to customers and to effectively advance our new retail strategy," Alibaba's CEO and chairman, Daniel Zhang, said in an e-mailed statement.

The idea is to create a futuristic complex UI for the advance real-time critical systems. I took inspirations from different games like Metal Gear solid V and took references from the designer - Ashthrop.
I blended still images, videos and complex figures to come up with the “Search -> Select ->Target -> Destroy” for the missile launching critical system.

Yesterday, I was asked to configure a Streamlit datetime slider easily. Previously, it required some effort and tweaking of the st.slider()
function. However, now it is possible to achieve this smoothly, as the slider function works nearly flawlessly with dates.
import datetime
import streamlit as st
MIN_MAX_RANGE = (datetime.datetime(2022,1,1), datetime.datetime(2023,7,1))
PRE_SELECTED_DATES = (datetime.datetime(2023,1,1), datetime.datetime(2023,7,1))
selected_min, selected_ax = st.slider(
"Datetime slider",
value=PRE_SELECTED_DATES,
min_value=MIN_MAX_RANGE[0],
max_value=MIN_MAX_RANGE[1],
)
For configure the slider steps when the user interacts with it, you could do as follows. Keep in mind that the intermediate values will not be selectable by default and may require an additional step. Additionally, there is an option to customize the date format for display.
selected_min, selected_ax = st.slider(
"Datetime slider",
value=PRE_SELECTED_DATES,
step=datetime.timedelta(days=2),
min_value=MIN_MAX_RANGE[0],
max_value=MIN_MAX_RANGE[1],
format="YYYY-MM-DD",
)
Another functionality of the sliders is to include a helper, which we use quite often. However, please be aware that in certain versions of Streamlit, using the help
argument in the datetime slider may disrupt the display of the slider title.

The Bowtruckle is a hand-sized, insect-eating, tree dwelling magical beast with long sharp fingers, brown eyes, and a general appearance of a flat-faced stick figure made of bark and twigs, which served well as camouflage in its natural habitat. They are immensely difficult to spot.
The Bowtruckle can be found in western England, southern Germany, and certain Scandinavian forests. A Bowtruckle serves as a tree guardian for its home tree, which was usually a tree whose wood was of wand quality (such as a Wiggentree). The twig-like fingers were well adapted for digging out wood lice in trees and can also be used as a weapon against a foe when aimed at the eyes.
It is generally a peaceful creature, but it may attempt to gouge out an attacker's eyes if anything threatened its tree or itself, and is adept at dodging most types of charms.
