The Web Graph Database
Probe Framework
The purpose of the InfoGrid Probe Framework is to make the content of external data sources appear as native InfoGrid objects that self-update, shadowing the content of the external data source as it changes. By doing this, the development of applications that use changing data from external sources (like RSS feeds, web service calls,...) becomes substantially simpler.
It accomplishes this through the following concepts:
Often, applications choose to update a ShadowMeshBase periodically. (The actual timing depends on the applied policy, which can be defined and updated programmatically.) During each update, the following sequence of events occurs:
 1. The correct Probe is determined for the given data source, by means of the ProbeDirectory, any preferences that the data source expressed in a previous run, and the MIME type and URL of the data source
 2. Changes made by the InfoGrid application to MeshObjects instantiated from the data source content are passed to the Probe, which can attempt to update the data source accordingly. This only occurs if the Probe is a WritableProbe.
 3. The Probe re-reads the data source, and instantiates the corresponding MeshObjects into the StagingMeshBase.
 4. The Differencer compares the previously-read set of MeshObjects (current content of the ShadowMeshBase) with the most recently-read set of MeshObjects (current content of the StagingMeshBase)
 5. It then applies the found changes to the ShadowMeshBase, which transitions the MeshObjectGraph contained in the ShadowMeshBase to the most current version.
 6. The StagingMeshBase is discarded.
 7. As a consequence, the ShadowMeshBase emits a stream of events that is identical to the stream of events that would have been emitted if the ShadowMeshBase's MeshObjects would have been manipulated there directly. If conveyed via XPRISO, other MeshBases cannot distinguish this event stream from any other event stream conveyed via XPRISO.
 8. A future update may be scheduled.

Midwest states see biggest output growth over year-earlier levels, boosted by higher per-cow production.
Dairies in the 23 major producing states churned out 1.7% more milk in December 2012 than a year earlier, boosted by higher per-cow production, USDA reported today in its December milk production report.
Milk output totaled 15.7 billion pounds last month, while production per cow rose 30 pounds over year-earlier levels to average 1,848 pounds. For 2012, cow numbers increased to 9.231 million head over 2011's 9.194 million.
Analysts called the report bearish, saying it exceeded their production projections.
Output increases were largely seen in Midwestern states. Among them:
- Wisconsin, up 5.5% over year-earlier levels to reach 2.343 billion pounds;
- Minnesota, up 4.4% to 786 million pounds;
- Michigan, up 5.5% to 762 million pounds;
- Indiana, 4.6% to 317 million pounds.
The biggest year-over-year percentage increases were seen farther west: Kansas output jumped 10% to 241 million pounds while Colorado's milk production increased by 6.3% to 272 million pounds.
Western states saw lower or flat production from December 2011 levels. California, still the nation's milk-producing leader, fell 2.3% to 3.416 billion pounds. Milk output in New Mexico and Arizona dropped.3% each, to 674 million pounds and 375 million pounds, respectively. Washington increased only.4% to 515 million pounds.
Total U.S. milk production in all states during December was up 1.6% over December 2011.

I'm going to try and generate black and white NTSC video, using a micro-controller. According to this:
It is possible to do it using two pins of Atmel Mega644. I looked at the datasheet and noted that the IO is 1.8 V. For NTSC you just need three voltages sent at the correct time, 0V, 0.3V, and 1V.
What I don't understand is how does this circuit generate the 0,.3 and 1V. When I do the calculations it doesn't really add up.
I simulated this using TI TINA simulator, 2 batteries and switches inplace of the IO ports, and trying all four combinations of the IO, I can get 0,.3V but not 1V.
Can someone using math explain how you can get 0 V,.3 V, and 1 V using the circuit shown in the link above. I also, I guess what I don't understand is the uC IO equivalent circuit for simulating in a SPICE program, is it just a battery set to the IO voltage? Or maybe an OP AMP with the output set to the IO voltage can someone please explain this.
Any help is appreciated.

The relationships between muscle length, fractional change in length (strain) and work output during cyclic contraction were examined in scaphognathite levator muscle L2B of the green crab Carcinus maenas (L.). The muscle was subjected to sinusoidal strain at 2 Hz and to phasic stimulation in the strain cycle.
At an average length and stimulus phase which are optimum for net work output, the work from muscle L2B during shortening rises to a peak or a plateau with increasing strain. The failure of shortening work to increase continuously with strain is due, in part, to the greater shortening velocity associated with greater strain, and to the consequent reduction in muscle force during shortening at higher velocity. The work required to re-lengthen a muscle following contraction is a complex function of strain, with an initial peak followed by a work minimum and then a monotonic rise in work with further increase in strain. The early work minimum is a result of shortening inactivation which reduces muscle force and thus the work which must be done to re-lengthen the muscle. Because shortening work rises to a peak or plateau with increasing strain while lengthening work, for the most part, increases with strain, there is a sharp optimum strain (about 8%) for net work output.
Muscle relaxation becomes slower with increasing muscle length. As muscle length is increased, fusion of tension from cycle to cycle becomes more pronounced and shortening inactivation becomes a more important determinant of optimum strain.

HAVANA, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- The representative of UNICEF, or the UN Children's Fund, in Cuba said here Friday that Cuba is among the countries that have best implemented the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and that countries in the world should learn from Cuba on the protection of children's rights.
Jose Juan Ortiz, speaking at celebrations marking Universal Children's Day, said Cuba, still under an economic embargo and is suffering from frequent natural disasters, has significantly reduced child mortality and improved child nutrition -- to levels that can rival those of developed countries.
The cause of the amazing achievements in children's protection in Cuba lies in the government's political will, he added.
All countries in the world should follow Cuba's example and strive to provide better conditions for children in judicial and social welfare fields, Ortiz said, adding that in this way most countries would be able to meet the targets set by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
On Friday, Cuba held a variety of activities nationwide to celebrate Universal Children's Day.

Encyclopedia of Iranian butterflies released
18 Aug 2012 16:09
Alireza Naderi, researcher and butterfly specialist, has completed a field guide on Iranian butterflies which, as he claimed, is the result of over 400 trips in and outside of Iran.
IBNA: In an interview with IBNA, Naderi said the book is a field guide on butterflies in Iran.
As he said, the term "field guide" is used to refer to guidebooks which can be easily used in workplaces; unlike Atlases, field guides are not very heavy and can be taken to the fields where studies are being held.
He asserted that the book is the first work of its kind in Iran to be published on butterflies and follows all international standards.
Butterflies' ecology and behaviors, their natural habitats and preserving them are some of the topics discussed in the book.
Elsewhere in his interview, Naderi said as many as 200 kinds of butterflies are covered in the volume while over 406 (and increasing) types have so far been identified in Iran.
A total of 1,000 copies of the book are published by Iranology Publications. Each copy is arranged in 272 pages.

The Sitecore to Salesforce integration, S4S, includes a mapping wizard to support Sitecore 9 Experience forms. The new wizard is more advanced (see LinkedIn article) than what is currently available in the S4S WFFM mapping wizard. One nice feature is called the Salesforce Field Matching Rule that prevents duplicates occurring in Salesforce.
When pushing data to Salesforce (from a Sitecore Experience Form) we usually expect to insert a record, or update an existing one if a matching record exists. Before this can happen, we need to define what matching means, for example, in the case of creating Salesforce leads. You usually update a lead record if the email address matches but consider a family or group who share a single email address! If you need to capture them as individuals in Salesforce, the matching criteria would need to be an email address and first name.
Because businesses have complex matching requirements the S4S mapping wizard for Sitecore Experience Forms can allow multiple fields to be selected to ensure duplicates are not created in Salesforce.
In most cases, this feature makes it unnecessary to create a custom save action to eliminate de-duplication.

Catholic Worker Movement
The Catholic Worker Movement is a collection of autonomous communities of Catholics and their associates founded by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin in 1933. Its aim is to "live in accordance with the justice and charity of Jesus Christ." One of its guiding principles is hospitality towards those on the margin of society, based on the principles of communitarianism and personalism. To this end, the Catholic Worker Movement claims over 213 local Catholic Worker communities providing social services. Each house has a different mission, going about the work of social justice in their own ways, suited to their local region.
Catholic Worker houses are not official organs of the Catholic Church and their activities, inspired by Day's example, may be more or less overtly religious in tone and inspiration depending on the particular institution. The movement campaigns for nonviolence and is active in opposing both war and the unequal distribution of wealth globally. Dorothy Day also founded The Catholic Worker newspaper, still published by the two Catholic Worker houses in New York City and sold for a penny a copy.
The 'Catholic Worker Movement' started with the Catholic Worker newspaper, created to advance Catholic social teaching and stake out a neutral, pacifist position in the war-torn 1930s. This grew into a "house of hospitality" in the slums of New York City and then a series of farms for people to live together communally.
The movement quickly spread to other cities in the United States, and to Canada and the United Kingdom; more than 30 independent but affiliated CW communities had been founded by 1941. Well over 100 communities exist today, including several in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, and Sweden.
Beliefs of the Catholic Worker
"Our rule is the works of mercy," said Dorothy Day. "It is the way of sacrifice, worship, a sense of reverence."
According to co-founder Peter Maurin, the following are the beliefs of the Catholic Worker:
- gentle personalism of traditional Catholicism.
- personal obligation of looking after the needs of our brother.
- daily practice of the Works of Mercy.
- Houses of Hospitality for the immediate relief of those who are in need.
- establishment of Farming Communes where each one works according to his ability and gets according to his need.
- creating a new society within the shell of the old with the philosophy of the new.
The Catholic Worker considered itself a Christian anarchist movement. All authority came from God; and the state, having by choice distanced itself from Christian perfectionism, forfeited its ultimate authority over the citizen...Catholic Worker anarchism followed Christ as a model of nonviolent revolutionary behavior...He respected individual conscience. But he also preached a prophetic message, difficult for many of his contemporaries to embrace.

More 60-Second Science
What does an 800-pound gorilla eat? If you said: "anything it wants," you're not thinking like a scientist.
A scientist would say, "Let me analyze the isotopic composition of its excreta and I'll get back to you." Because a new study shows that the ratio of carbon isotopes found in mountain gorilla feces reveals how much fruit the apes have consumed. The scoop's in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. [Scott A. Blumenthal et al., Detecting intraannual dietary variability in wild mountain gorillas by stable isotope analysis of feces]
Knowing what animals nosh on in the wild and how that diet fluctuates can offer a key to their health and the overall health of the species. But not all beasties like to dine al fresco, at least not where scientists can watch. So researchers decided to reach for the scat.
As a test case they focused on four mountain gorillas in a park in Uganda, because they could actually see what these apes ingested. Different plants have different ratios of carbon's common isotopes. So for 10 months the researchers measured the carbon in the plants that went into the gorillas and then what came back out.
And they found that the dung don't lie, at least when it comes to what's been on Koko's menu.

What does the temperature of a compost heap have to do with a baby's sex?
As many gardeners know, a well-tended compost heap generates considerable heat as the mound of organic material decays. Ever wonder who invented this gardener's aid? Well, it just might have been a crocodile!
A female crocodile or alligator doesn't sit on her eggs to keep them warm. She covers them with soil and vegetation, and as this material starts to "compost," the nest mound heats up. But don't think the temperature of an alligator nest is a trivial matter. The nest is made with just the right mixture of mud and vegetation to create a precise range of internal temperatures. Why so specific? Because the sex of hatchling crocs and gators is determined by the temperature within the nest! Eggs incubated at around 89 degrees Fahrenheit produce females, while those at temperatures below 87 degrees produce mainly males. In a well-constructed croc nest the eggs on top will be a few degrees cooler than those closer to the bottom, and -- VOILA! -- when the babies hatch there are usually an equal number of males and females.
This phenomenon (known as temperature-determined sex) is amazing, but it's not unique, also occurring in turtles and lizards. The sex of human babies, however, is not known to be affected by the temperature of their parents' compost heap.

Can Malware (Spectre, Meltdown) Spy After Reboot?
Dennis Faas's picture
In regard to last week's article on the Spectre and Meltdown CPU exploits, which affects 100% of all computers made since 1995, user'rep' had the following question to ask:
" Dear Dennis,
[Being that this is a hardware exploit], am I right in thinking that any passwords, etc, which are stored in the CPU's memory are lost when the computer is shut down? If so, could I simply shut off the computer and reload it every time I want to use Internet banking and would that keep me safe from these exploits? "
My response:
I posted my original response in the comments section of Friday's article, but I believe this is an important question which should have its own post.
The quick and short answer is that a virus / malware / exploit does not live in the computer's memory all of the time - it is stored on the hard drive and then reloaded every time the computer is turned on. So, shutting off your computer (should you be infected) will not do anything - the virus / malware / exploit will become active again once the operating system is loaded. This is true every time you turn your computer on UNTIL the virus / malware / exploit has been removed and the system is patched. That said, some exploits are incredibly stealthy and may run undetected for months or even years.
'Rep' wrote in again in the comments section, asking another question:
" I assumed the system was not infected - however, am I correct in thinking that the passwords, etc, which are stored in the CPU's memory (when I log in to my bank) are lost when the computer is powered down - as is the case with RAM memory? "
My response:
Yes and no. The CPU does not have memory, except what is used for caching. The CPU is the brain of the computer, while RAM (random access memory, also known as "primary storage") - utilizes data that is loaded off of the hard drive (secondary storage). The CPU processes data stored in RAM.
Yes it is true that RAM is volatile and is wiped clean when the system is turned off. That said, if you have "fast boot" enabled on the system, whatever you had in RAM previously gets stored onto the hard drive during a shut down. The data is then reloaded back into RAM during boot up - as if the system was never shut off in the first place. So technically speaking here, the contents of RAM are not lost.
In either case, the fact that RAM is wiped clean or is not wiped clean during a shutdown is a moot point in regards to the Meltdown and Spectre - and any other exploit for that matter - because it has nothing to do with the way exploits work.
If you are infected with a virus / malware / exploit - whether you know you're infected or not - whatever you do on the computer can be recorded and sent back to cyber criminals. So in this case it does not matter if you shut off the computer and turn it on again to reset your primary memory (RAM). So in this case, whatever you do while you're banking - entering in your password, looking at account numbers, etc, can be recorded.
The exploits in this case are hardware-based on the CPU and enabled with malware / viruses (software) which are (presumably) downloaded from the Internet; the malware is then stored on the hard drive, which gets reloaded every time your operating system / PC is turned on. So as you can see, it does not matter if the system is shut down and memory is wiped because the system will reload the exploit the next boot until it has been removed and your system is patched.
I hope that helps.

I must say I didn't know about the fast boot thing. Now I'm just wondering how these two new hardware exploits could get installed onto a Linux system, which is supposed to be less vulnerable to viruses and malware than Windows.
Dennis Faas's picture
As the original article states, any device with a CPU created after 1995 is susceptible, including: Mac OS, Linux, Windows, Tablets, Smartphones, etc! No electronic device with a CPU is immune which also means no operating system is immune until patched.
LouisianaJoe's picture
Is there any verified use of this exploit? Sometimes possible and probable are not the same thing.
Dennis Faas's picture
The exploit has been proof of concept in test labs, though Intel claims (as of January 8, 2018 at CES) that there are "no known exploits" in the wild.
However, being able to prove that no exploits are in the wild would be next to impossible considering this type of exploit is ultra stealthy because it operates at the hardware level and would go undetected. Furthermore, antivirus and antimalware cannot detect this exploit (because it operates at the hardware level and is a design flaw of the CPU).
Patches are still being developed by Intel and AMD; Intel claims to have a patch to fix "90%" of all Intel CPUs that were made in the last five years, with the rest of the chips (dating back to 1995) by the end of the month.

Will climb to an area of resistance called a 'selling zone', where sellers perceive there to be great selling potential at a relatively overbought price.The reverse is also true for currency pairs that drop to relatively low levels, 'demand zone' where buyers perceive there to be great value to buy. Once institutional traders and big banks see this value, they will look to capitalize on it. As a result, price action tends to accelerate relatively quickly until the value has diminished or has been fully realized.Witnessing multiple instances of this at the same price level increases the probability that it is an area of value and therefore, a supply or demand zone.Since this is a non-directional trade in terms of the trend, both long and short entries can be spotted.

Running Veeam PowerShell Scripts in Non-Interactive Mode - Credentials
This time we get back to some PowerShell basics and how to run scripts in non-interactive mode.
Veeam Backup & Replication and scripting go hand in hand really well. And the first thing you do when running a script is to connect to backup server
Connect-VBRServer -Server $ServerName -User $User -Password $Pass
Placing user and pass in clear text in a script may not be the best option. We could use PSCredential object to hold the username and password.
$PSCredential = Get-Credential
Connect-VBRServer -Server $ServerName -Credential $PSCredential
However getting the credentials in the objects implies using Get-Credential cmdlet which is interactive and will prompt to type the user and password. This makes it hard to run the script in non-interactive mode.
To make it non-interactive we need password saved somewhere. To save and encrypted password we can use ConvertFrom-SecureString cmdlet and pipe the output to a file:
(Get-Credential).Password | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Set-Content $encPassFileName
Since the username could be stored in the script itself, we retrieve only the secure string for the password, pipe it to the encrypting cmdlet and then output it to a file. Opening the output file will list something similar to:
Now we need to create the PScredential object:
$password = Get-Content $encPassFileName | ConvertTo-SecureString
$psCredential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($username,$password)
First, we loaded the content of the file storing the encrypted password and convert it to a secure string (PScredential objects use secure strings). Next we created the object with the username and the password. The generated object can be used to connect to VBR Server
Connect-VBRServer -Server $ServerName -Credential $PSCredential
By default, ConvertFrom-SecureString encryption is done using Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI). For this reason the file cannot be moved to another computer and used from that one. On each computer from where the script is being run, the password must be encrypted separately.


Let's dance… la gigue!
What is… la gigue?
La gigue is a traditional dance performed in Québec and in the French Canadian culture. It is a form of percussive dance where one makes sounds with his/her feet on the floor. The mouvements of the feet, ankles and legs are usually quite small and do not have much amplitude.
La gigue came to Canada and was shared with us initially by the Irish and the Scottish. Subsequently, there was an influence from tap dancing from the Americans. Now, la gigue is practiced in Québec and across Canada in the French Canadian culture.
For more information, consult the article Le quiproquo de la gigue au Québec written by Pierre Chartrand.
What is a "bonhomme gigueur"?
Monsieur Bono is a bonhomme gigueur (dancing man) and is a component of French Canadian folklore. This bonhomme gigueur is described as a wooden puppet that dances on the end of a wooden board to the rhythm of the music.
To make the bonhomme gigueur dance, a person sits on one end of the board and, while holding the wooden puppet with one hand, taps on the board with the other hand. The bonhomme gigueur's feet hit the board and make the sounds "taque-tique-tac".

The DNS Resolver for.NET
Current Version: 1.3.1
Simple but Powerful
DnsClient.NET is a simple yet very powerful and high performant open source library for the.NET Framework to do DNS lookups.
It can be used in any kind of application to query the network's DNS server or any other DNS server even on non-default ports.
Cross Platform
Targeting the new NetStandard library of.NET, the DnsClient library can be used on Windows, Mac or Linux!
Try It Now
Running a query calls DnsClient on the server and uses the public Google DNS Servers (, for name resolution.
The Lookup Client
The LookupClient class is the main tool of this library. It provides configuration options and methods to run DNS queries and reverse lookups.
It is important to note, that it is highly recommended to instantiate the lookup client only once per application and to always use the same reference (singleton).
Otherwise, features like result cache and connection pooling will not have any effect which can decrease the application's performance.
That being said, the lookup client is thread safe, which means it can be used in a multithreaded and/or async context without any problems.
The following code initializes a new lookup client using your local network DNS server(s).
var client = new LookupClient();
client.UseCache = true;
But you can also specify a custom DNS server running on any port:
var endpoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(""), 8600);
var client = new LookupClient(endpoint);
For mock friendly and easier to test code and usage with injection (DI), it is recommended to have implementers only consume the interface ILookupClient or IDnsQuery instead of the concrete implementation.
Simple DI example:
Which can be consumed later by some MVC Controller for example:
public SomeController(ILookupClient client)
 if(client == null)
 throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(client));
 _client = client;
Query APIs
The LookupClient's Query and QueryAsync methods can be used to run standard DNS queries for a domain name.
You have to provide a QueryType and optionally a QueryClass in addition to a valid domain name.
The following example queries for all A resource records:
var result = client.Query("domain.name.com", QueryType.A);
Resource Record Specific Types
Each type of resource record transports very specific and different data which needs custom parsing. Therefore, resource records in DnsClient also have very different properties to access the data.
Resource record collections of the LookupClient's query result are typed with the base class of all resource records, which means, to get to the QueryType specific data, each result record must be cast to the actual type.
To make that process a little bit easier, DnsClient comes with some build in extension methods for the most common types.
An A record for example always only provide an IP address. The corresponding ARecord class stores the IP address in the Address property.
The ARecords extension method filters all A records from the answers collection, and casts them to ARecords. Now, the Address property is available and can be used:
foreach (var aRecord in client.Query("google.com", QueryType.A).Answers.ARecords())
This is the same as doing a.OfType() call on the answers collection.
The following is another example for how to manual cast and then access the resource record type specific data.
var record = _client
 .Query("domain.name.com", QueryType.A)
// or
var record = _client
 .Query("domain.name.com", QueryType.A)
 .FirstOrDefault() as HInfoRecord;
if(record!= null)
 Console.WriteLine($"Cpu: {record.Cpu} OS: {record.OS}");
Additional Results
A DNS query result can have multiple sections: The answers, authority and additional records.
Answers are the actually requested resource record(s), if any, while additional records might contain resource records which contain additional information to the answer records.
A good example is the SRV record. The actual SRV record transports the port and domain name of the service. Which can be accessed via Port and Target properties of the SrvRecord class.
The additionals section might contain another A or CNAME record which transports the address of the requested service. To find the corresponding record in the additionals section (there could be multiple), we have to match the Target domain name of the answer with the DomainName of the additional record.
Example of how to use additional records:
var result = await _client
 .QueryAsync("_service.domain.com", QueryType.SRV);
if (result.HasError)
 throw new InvalidOperationException(result.ErrorMessage);
var srvRecord = result
if (srvRecord!= null)
 var additionalRecord = result.Additionals
 .FirstOrDefault(p => p.DomainName.Equals(srvRecord.Target));
 if (additionalRecord is ARecord aRecord)
 Console.WriteLine($"Services found at {srvRecord.Target}:{srvRecord.Port} IP: {aRecord.Address}");
 else if (additionalRecord is CNameRecord cname)
 Console.WriteLine($"Services found at {srvRecord.Target}:{srvRecord.Port} IP: {cname.CanonicalName}");
See also the resolve service methods below.
Synchronous and Async APIs
Async and sync API implementations are available for all query API methods.
var result = client.Query("google.com", QueryType.MX);
var host = await client.QueryReverse(ip);
// or
var result = await client.QueryAsync("google.com", QueryType.MX);
var host = await client.QueryReverseAsync(ip);
Extended Query API
Some queries might involve more complex business logic to get the results we actually want, e.g. doing a reverse lookup of an IP address to get the hostname and then querying for all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of that hostname.
For some of those more commonly used things, this DNS client comes with a default implementation. (If you think that there is something important missing or not working as you expect, feel free to post an issue on GitHub)
The GetHostName or GetHostNameAsync method does a reverse lookup and returns the hostname as string, or null if not found.
var client = new LookupClient();
string hostName = await client.GetHostNameAsync(IPAddress.Parse(""));
This is a shortcut for
var client = new LookupClient();
var result = await client.QueryReverseAsync(IPAddress.Parse(""));
var hostName = result.Answers.PtrRecords().FirstOrDefault()?.PtrDomainName;
Get Host Entries
The GetHostEntry method accepts either an IPAddress or a string which can be an IP address or hostname.
Depending on what gets passed in to the method, it does a reverse lookup of the address first and then tries to populate a IPHostEntry instance. See the documentation remarks of GetHostEntry for more details.
var client = new LookupClient();
var hostEntry = await client.GetHostEntryAsync("mail.google.com");
If we'd run a normal query for an A or AAAA record of mail.google.com, the result would something like this:
mail.google.com. 594243 IN CNAME googlemail.l.google.com.
googlemail.l.google.com. 227 IN AAAA 2a00:1450:4016:807::2005
The entry returned by GetHostEntry in this example would have an IPv4 and IPv6 address, one Alias "googlemail.l.google.com" and the HostName property would be set to "mail.google.com".
Resolve Service APIs
The ResolveService queries for SRV records by using the syntax defined in RFC2782 to resolve available service hosts and ports.
The query syntax defines a special hostname, like _ldap._tcp.example.com which contains the service name, in this case _ldap and optionally a protocol, in this case _tcp.
Same example using the lookup client:
var client = new LookupClient();
var result = client.ResolveServiceAsync("example.com", "ldap", System.Net.Sockets.ProtocolType.Tcp);
Important to note that there should be no underscore prefixing the service name or protocol. This will be appended automatically, if the protocol is set.
One interesting use-case for this is DNS based client side service discovery. Consul for example has a DNS endpoint and supports this syntax. Instead of protocol, we can query for tags defined for the service in the Consul service registry (this is optional again).
In the following example, we'll query for the consul service itself:
var client = new LookupClient(IPAddress.Parse(""), 8600);
var entry = await client.ResolveServiceAsync("service.consul", "consul");
Configuration Options
Use Cache
Setting the UseCache property to true, allows the lookup client to cache all query results depending on the minimum time to live of all returned records.
This setting is enabled per default.
client.UseCache = true;
Minimum Cache Timeout
Setting the MinimumCacheTimeout property to a positive value allows the lookup client to cache query results, even if the resource records do have no time to live defined.
This is useful in performance critical solutions where even a few seconds matter.
Cached results can be accessed with millions of hits per seconds while actual queries might only reach 10 to a few 100 thousand hits per second.
This setting has no default.
client.MinimumCacheTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
Audit Trail
Enabling the EnableAuditTrail property of the lookup client, adds more information to the returned result.
Beside the collections of resource records, result.AuditTrail will contain a full log of the request and response.
The log format is similar to DNS files or the console output of the dig command line utility.
This setting is disabled per default.
Keep in mind that enabling this feature has a small performance impact and should only be used for debugging purpose.
var client = new LookupClient(NameServer.GooglePublicDns, NameServer


School Employees May Give Insulin Shots to Children With Type 1 Diabetes, California Courts Rules
The California Supreme Court ruled that public school employees may administer insulin shots to diabetic students.
The court found that California law permits trained but unlicensed school employees to administer the shots when a school nurse is unavailable, which is increasingly common in public schools across the state.
The decision settles a legal battle between the parents of diabetic students, backed by the ADA, and the California Nurses Association, which maintains only licensed nurses should be allowed to handle the task in public schools.
The decision reversed an appeals court ruling that found state law does not permit unlicensed school personnel, such as teachers or administrators, to give insulin shots to diabetic public school students.

Electromagnetic field distributions in 3-dimensional irregular cavities

Wavefunctions and their Δν distribution

Δν distribution of wavefunctions
Distribution P(Δν) is defined by:
If all components of E and B are independently Gaussian distributed, i.e,
Only for chaotic wave functions the ansatz is valid. If the wave function is scarred, deviations from the expected deviations can be seen. Therefore the distribution can be used as a check whether the wave function is chaotic or not.
Δν distribution at the walls
Close to the walls three field components must be zero, due to the boundary conditions. Thus the distribution of Δν must be different and can be calculated by using only three independent components of the fields.
At the walls (d < 10mm) the deviations from the volume distribution (dashed dotted line) clearly can be seen. The sharp peak of the expected distribution (dashed line) can't be resolved.
In the intermediate regime (10mm < d < 20mm) a transition from border to volume distribution is found.
For the data well inside the cavity (d > 20mm) the volume distribution describes the experimental findings.
Spatial correlation functions
(in cooperation with B. Eckhardt)
The spatial correlation function is defined by:
Longitudinal correlation function along the displacement:
Transversal correlation function:
If the polarization is not considered, one expects:
Experimental correlation functions(- - - - including polarization, · · · · excluding polarization)
ResultsThough the electromagnetic fields E and B are coupled by the Maxwell equations, the six components can be considered as independently Gaussian distributed.
==> Field distributions can be described by random superposition of plane waves.

The people at PETA pronounce the name of their organisation in a different way to what one might expect, in my opinion. I have been mispronouncing it for years! Well there it is and now I know. How did I find out? PETA now have a regular podcast and the introduction includes pronouncing the acronym: PETA. Update: about 18 months later I realised why they prefer this pronunciation. It is because they want to avoid the word 'pet' in their acronym. They don't like the use of the word 'pet' to describe companion animals because it encourages the wrong relationship between human and animal.
Please play this short audio file for the correct way to say PETA.

Cargo ships account for a massive amount of carbon emissions each year, so reducing emissions is a global priority. One of the easiest ways to do that is to reduce the weight of said cargo ships. A group of EU researchers have developed a new material that is tough, lighter than water and could cut ships' weight by as much as 30 to 50 percent while maintaining the payload capability. That would take the equivalent of 55 to 60 trucks' worth of CO2 out of the equation per ship.
The material developed by the researchers is a lightweight aluminum foam that expands like a sponge when exposed to high heat. The material is sandwiched between two sheets of steel and sealed with heat, resulting in a very lightweight and tough building material. Under stress, the material bends but doesn't break, making it ideal for traveling even through dangerous ice-packed waters.


Status Handling Best Practices
From Eclipsepedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This paper will explain the best practices a developer should follow to exploit this new framework appropriately using the IStatus class. The second part will explain to plug-in provider how to exploit the new 'StatusHandler' model, allowing them to contribute to the user interface as well as managing the IStatus we are about to show or log.

About logging and Error Dialog
The concept of a LogRecord
Eclipse does not provide the concept of a record in itself yet. So we usually end up writing our own method like debug(String) or warn(String) in our plug-ins. The equinox team is working on proving a full fledge logging framework, including the concept of a LogRecord in future releases.
Best practices for logging
There is a lot of debate about what to log and what not to log.
 1. If you log too little, it will be difficult to troubleshoot a problem. In some cases we will have to reproduce the problem in debug mode (allowing trace to be persisted). In the worse case scenario, if you cannot reproduce the issue, you will have to ship an instrumented version of your code to the client.
 2. If you log too much, a couple things can happen
 1. You could fill the hard drive with information and slow the process of your application
 2. You will scare the product administrator who will see tons of 'possible' errors fill the log.
Rule #1: if you show it, log it The rationale is that if you do not log it, we have no persistence of the issue. If the user closes the Dialog and closes support, we will have to reproduce the problem. Of course, in the case of a client-server environment, you do not have to log it in both places. If the message comes from the server, the client part can *just* present the message that will contain information about the real log record in the server log, so the administrator can retrieve it. Still I would recommend you save the message only (not the whole record) in the client environment, in case the clients forgets the correlator identifier to the server log. Another possibility is to log the message at a DEBUG or TRACE level. Remember to be cautious or you will end up in Scenario #1 : Logging too little.
Rule #2: Log even expected exception Some exceptions are expected in your environment. For instance, if you connect to a database using JDBC, you may encounter the java.sql.SQLException. It may be an exception you can recover from (i.e. StaleData) or one you cannot recover from (Server is down). You should not log the StaleData exception or the log will contain too much information. The user/administrator is not interested about your internal code and how you recover. Yet you should log the unexpected exception. We recommend you log the message of an expected exception only, not the whole stackTrace, but at a WARNING or DEBUG level.
Other technique exists that keep a statistic view of your expected errors. This allow an administrator to realize, for instance, that the application is getting a lot of StaleException between 8pm and 9pm on Friday.
There is tons of information and documentation on the web. On interesting paper about logging exception is the following: []
The Eclipse IStatus
 * ILog.log(IStatus status)
 * IProgressMonitorWithBlocking.setBlocked(IStatus reason)
Calling the Status API
You should investigate the Status and MultiStatus classes. We recommend you use the following constructor:
public Status(int severity, String pluginId, int code, String message, Throwable exception)
Implementing your own Status
You should consider the following when creating an IStatus instance.
public class CVSStatus extends TeamStatus {
/*** Status codes ***/
public static final int SERVER_ERROR = -10;
public static final int NO_SUCH_TAG = -11;
public static final int CONFLICT = -12;
public static final int SERVER_IS_UNKNOWN = -22;
public CVSStatus(int severity, int code, String message, Throwable t, ICVSRepositoryLocation cvsLocation) {
 super(severity, CVSProviderPlugin.ID, code, message, t,null);
 this.cvsLocation = cvsLocation;
The Eclipse 3.3 Status handler framework
In Eclipse 3.3 we added a new framework to handle statuses. The goal was triple:
 1. Providing consistency about Logging and ErrorMessage from an Eclipse UI point of view. The work in the core is in progress in the Equinox subproject (as of March 07)
 2. Allow products based on eclipse a central way to handle statuses before they are rendered or logged
 3. Allow products based on eclipse to extend the ErrorDialog for specific errors
Check the following link to learn more about the StatusHandler project []
In the first part of this paragraph, we will describe the best practices a developer should use to log or render an IStatus. In the second part of this paragraph, we will explain the best practices to create your own StatusHandler.
Using the new Eclipse status handler API
First we will present the new StatusManager class and its API. Then we will explain how you could modify your existing code to use the new features of the framework.
Calling the StatusManager handle method
Calling the new framework is straight forward. Once your IStatus is created, you pass it to the singleton instance of the class StatusManager. You can specify if you want the message to be logged (LOG) and.or shown (SHOW).
Remember the Handler has the last decision about showing and logging. Consider the previous information as a hint to the handler, but do not rely on them for your execution.
public void run(IAction action) {
 // Throw an error to be handled
 File aConfigurationFile = obtainConfigurationFileFor(authenticatedUser);
 FileInputStream aStream = null;
 try {
 aStream = new FileInputStream(aConfigurationFile);
 //... if no error, then continue
 } catch (IOException exception){
 // Build a message
 String message = NLS.bind(Error_Accessing_Configuration, aConfigurationFile);
 // Build a new IStatus
 IStatus status = new CompanyStatus(IStatus.ERROR,Activator.PLUGIN_ID,CompanyStatus.CONFIGURATION_ERROR,
 message,exception, aConfigurationFile);
 // Let the StatusManager handle the Status and provide a hint
 } finally {
 if (aStream!=null){
Replacing your call to ErrorDialog, MessageDialog
Eclipse provide different API for logging and showing an error message. Here is a list of the Available API and their replacement using StatusManager
Replacing your call to ILog
Developing a StatusHandler
In this section, we will explain how to extend the Status handler framework. There will be a unique extension per application.
A StatusHandler is the counterpart of StatusManager. As a developer, you will call the StatusManager code, passing the IStatus. The StatusHandler will handle the IStatus based on its policy. For instance, a StatusHandler can determine if they need to be shown and/or logged. A StatusHandler can decide to send an email to an administrator.
Implementing the extension point
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ link to the extension point ??? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Implementing the handle method
public void handle(StatusAdapter statusAdapter, int style) {
 // Retrieve IStatus and message
 IStatus oldStatus = statusAdapter.getStatus();
 // Verify we do not have a CompanyStatusWithID
 if (!(oldStatus instanceof CompanyStatusWithID)){
 String message = oldStatus.getMessage();
 //All our ID start with DYNA
 //Remove any unique identifier to not show it to the user
 int lengthOfUniqueId = message.indexOf(' ');
 String uniqueID = message.substring(0,lengthOfUniqueId);
 message = message.substring(lengthOfUniqueId);
 // Create a new CompanyStatusWithID
 // check the Style. We still want to trace even if we do not log
 if ((style & StatusManager.LOG)==0){
 super.handle(statusAdapter, style);
Developing an ErrorSupportProvider
Registering your ErrorSupportProvider
To Register your SupportArea, you must call the following code
Policy.setErrorSupportProvider();
We recommend you do it in the Activator class of your bundle, in the start method. Of course you can change it later, for instance in your handle method. In that case, there is no contract that the ErrorSupportProvider you set will be the one receiving the IStatus your are processing.
Implementing the createSupportArea method
Implement the createSupportArea method, returning the control you want to show the user.
public Control createSupportArea(Composite parent, IStatus status) {
 // if the dialog is too short, make it taller
 toolkit = new FormToolkit(parent.getDisplay());
Here is a simple example that will open a web page.
public Control createSupportArea(Composite parent, IStatus status) {
 viewer = new Browser(parent, SWT.NONE);
 viewer.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL,SWT.FILL,true,true));
 viewer.setUrl();
 return viewer;
We highly recommend you implement an IDisposeListener to clean up after yourself, when the ErrorDialog is closed.
The flow
When a IStatus needs to be handled, the StatusManager will retrieve the StatusHandler associated with the application. It will pass the

- Cyrano De Bergerac Vs Roxane - 1,044 words
Cyrano De Bergerac Vs. Roxane Cyrano de Bergerac, the Play vs. Roxane, the Movie In an effort to attract the audience of today, the producers of the movie Roxane retold the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rustond in a way that is appropriate and at the same time appealing. In order to give the audience of today a story that they can understand and relate to, the producers have adjusted and manipulated the play itself. As a result, several similarities and differences exist between the play Cyrano de Bergerac and its movie reproduction. The characteristics of a romantic hero in Rustonds time is not equivalent to the characteristics of a romantic hero today. In the play for example, Cyrano,...

Damsels In Address It is clearly evident that many fairy tales of childhood tend to shape the reader. Certain moral codes and ideals are tightly woven into the text of many fairy tales, promoting or denoting a characters actions. In the Grimms fairy tales Cinderella, Brier Rose, and Rapunzel, the heroines of these tales exhibit strong behavioral codes, thus providing opportunity for the young female reader to relate to the damsel, or to model herself to behave in a similar fashion. In accordance with Marcia R. Liebermans essay, " Some Day My Prince Will Come: Female Acculturation Through the Fairy Tale," I agree with the assertion that positive traits in fairy tale indicate reward, while the...

Hero Worshiping When asked to conjure up descriptions of a hero or heroism, many people would imagine similar scenes. The firefighters pulling a family from a burning building, a soldier saving his platoon from certain death, rescue workers pulling a stranded mountain climber from a precarious ledge, and the Knights of the Round Table saving a damsel in distress, are all examples of the "common" hero. Many people display heroism in everyday life but are rarely recognized either by their peers or by the media. Heroism can be traced back in time as early as mythology has been present. People of that era felt a need to worship super-beings who could solve their problems. Current examples reflec...

Miller's Tale Courtly Love in Chaucer and Marie de France In his The Miller's Tale Chaucer presents a side of the courtly love tradition never seen before. His characters are average middle class workers rather than elite nobility. There is an interesting comparison between the Miller's characters and those in two of Marie de France's lais that share very close plot lines. Instead of being idealized Chaucer's characters are gritty. Instead of being involved in courtly love there is some evidence that the relationship between Alison and Nicholas is one of lust. Chaucer's use of the lower class makes the absurdity of what they are doing stand out. In the lais of Marie de France, Guigemare and...

The legend says that the healing water was found by the castle's hunters. When they were hunting in the districts of Košnica and Dobrina, one of them felt sick and he was dragged along the snow towards the road to Dobrina, from where he would be taken by horses to Žusemje Castle. Amongst a large area of snow, they saw a patch of land and water which was not frozen. The sick person was given that water to drink and soon he got well.
Many other stories about the miraculous healing of people who drank that water originated later. After those legends, which represent the oldest data on the healing powers of the water in Dobrina, the name DOBRINA CASTLE SPRING originated.
The settlement of Dobrina is an excellent starting point for a walk to nearby Žusem located on the 669 m high rise where two churches stand, the first one is the Parish Church of St. Valentine, however, the second one is the 700 year old established Church of St. Jacob, which has valuable preserved frescoes from the 15th and 16th century and chandeliers made of local glass. In the nearby small village of Tinje, the archaeological finds Tinje and the remains of the sunken Žamerk Castle are located. Here, objects from the late Antique and Early Slavic period were found. In Javoršica the partisan hospital is still preserved. You can get additional information at Društvo Izviri (Springs Association).

Frankly speaking, you cannot create a Linux partition larger than 2 TB using the fdisk command. The fdisk won't create partitions larger than 2 TB. This is fine for desktop and laptop users, but on server you need a large partition. For example, you cannot create 3TB or 4TB partition size (RAID based) using the fdisk command. It will not allow you to create a partition that is greater than 2TB. In this tutorial, you will learn more about creating Linux filesystems greater than 2 Terabytes to support enterprise grade operation under any Linux distribution.
To solve this problem use GNU parted command with GPT. It supports Intel EFI/GPT partition tables. Partition Table (GPT) is a standard for the layout of the partition table on a physical hard disk. It is a part of the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) standard proposed by Intel as a replacement for the outdated PC BIOS, one of the few remaining relics of the original IBM PC. EFI uses GPT where BIOS uses a Master Boot Record (MBR).
(Fig.01: Diagram illustrating the layout of the GUID Partition Table scheme. Each logical block (LBA) is 512 bytes in size. LBA addresses that are negative indicate position from the end of the volume, with −1 being the last addressable block. Imaged Credit Wikipedia)
Linux GPT Kernel Support
EFI GUID Partition support works on both 32bit and 64bit platforms. You must include GPT support in kernel in order to use GPT. If you don't include GPT support in Linux kernelt, after rebooting the server, the file system will no longer be mountable or the GPT table will get corrupted. By default Redhat Enterprise Linux / CentOS comes with GPT kernel support. However, if you are using Debian or Ubuntu Linux, you need to recompile the kernel. Set CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION to y to compile this feature.

How To Make Your Climbing Gear Last Longer
How to make your climbing gear last longer Redpoint Climbing Australia Cofounder Jack Tho Trad Climbing at ArapilesClimbing shoes and rope are the most frequently used climbing gear that also endures the most wear and tear. Here are some tips on how to look after your climbing gear so that they may last longer.
Climbing Shoes
 1. Practice your footwork. The wear and tear on your climbing shoe rubber can tell you a lot about your climbing technique. If you see abrasions on the tip of your toe rubber, you may be dragging your foot along the wall and readjusting rather than placing your foot correctly the first time. Try improving the precision of your footwork by climbing slowly during warm up, consciously thinking about exactly where you want your foot to land before placing it on the hold. Practicing downclimbing can also help improve your footwork as you tend to weight your toes when leading with your feet.
 2. Opt for durable and stiff rubber. Most climbers will wear down their first pair of shoes quite quickly due to scuffles with the wall. Avoid buying any high end shoes with sticky and soft rubber (e.g. Vibram XS grip 2) because it will wear down and need replacing very fast. Instead, opt for stiffer and thicker rubber, minimum 4mm for the rubber sole. You can roughly gauge the stiffness of the rubber by pressing your nail against the bottom of the rubber shoe sole. Check out this article to find out how much you should be spending on climbing shoes.
 3. Air out your shoes after every climb. This means taking them out of your gym bag and leaving them near a door or window after you get home from climbing. Avoid direct sunlight as this may deform the rubber.
 4. Know when it's time to resole your climbing shoes. After every climb, check that the rubber soles under the toes still make an edge with the rand. If the edge where the rubber sole meets the rand is round and smooth, get your shoes resoled. Most climbers wait until the rand breaks through. Patching up the rand (or toe cap) typically costs 40-60% more than just the soles. Arapiles Resoles is one of the best, however they don't always accept jobs via mail. Big John Resoles in NSW accepts jobs via mail, including interstate.
Climbing Rope
 1. Keep your rope away from dirt and grime. Small debris such as dirt and sand can damage the sheath of the rope over time. A cheap alternative to a rope bag is the Ikea blue carry bags.
 2. Beware of UV and heat. Do not store your rope in the trunk of your car on hot summer days. Heat over 30 degree Celsius can break down the fibres.
 3. Clean your rope once a year, or when it looks dirty. The easiest way to do this is in a bathtub with warm water and some rope cleaner or hand soap. Avoid anything abrasive such as detergents and high-pressure hoses. Soak your rope in the soap water and run your hands along the length of the rope. You'll need to do this twice to rinse the soap out the second time. Allow the rope to air dry.
 Climbing ropes cost from $250 to $450 and climbing shoes cost from $120 to $260. It definitely pays to look after your climbing gear and make them last as long as possible.

Linear Programming orientations of Polyhedra
Algebra & Discrete Mathematics
Speaker: Mike Develin, UC Berkeley
Location: 693 Kerr
Start time: Thu, Oct 31 2002, 12:10PM
Given a combinatorial $d$-polytope $P$ and an orientation on its graph, we may ask the following question: Does there exist a realization of $P\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a linear functional $f$ such that $f$ induces the given orientation on the graph of $P$? Holt and Klee introduced a set of necessary conditions on the orientation for it to be a so-called LP-orientation; we show that for cubes, these conditions are very insufficient in the sense that the proportional of Holt-Klee orientations of the $d$-cube which are LP-orientations goes rapidly to 0 as $d$ gets large. For cross-polytopes, we give a strengthening of the Holt-Klee conditions which is both necessary and sufficient for an orientation to be LP.

Venafi Trust Protection Platforms (TPP) has the ability to work as a SCEP server. This feature is referred to as Network Device Enrollment (NDE). This article describes the steps to setup and configure TPP and SSCEP a command line SCEP client to work together.
Configure NDE on TPP side in WebAdmin:
1. Create Password object to use for SCEP requests
2. Go to Platform Tree to configure NDE settings
3. Select Engine or root of Platform tree and go to "Network Device Enrollemnt" > Settings
4. Configure settings:
Enable "SCEP Reply Delay"
Default Challenge Password = Password for requests to use
Default Certificate Container = Where to create cert objects
Default Certificate Authority = What CA Template to use
RA Certificate = Certificate used for Registration Authority (cert that was issued by CA we are going to use)
5. Save settings and restart IIS
Use SSCEP to test NDE
1. Unzip SSCEP (found here: _URL_
2. Generate a certificate request providing a Common Name and the Challenge Password when prompted by openssl:
openssl.exe req -config scep.cnf -new -key priv.key -out test.csr
3. Retrieve the CA and RA certificates from your SECP/NDES:
sscep.exe getca -u _URL_ -c ca.crt
4. Enroll a new certificate and make sure to specify the correct RA (-c flag)
sscep.exe enroll -u _URL_ -k priv.key -r test.csr -l test.crt -c ca.crt-0
5. If things work, certficate is stored in test.crt
What to look at when things aren't working?
1. Check the Engine object logs in Platform tree for "Network Device Enrolment" errors
2. Check to see if the Certificate object got created
- Did creating and retrieving the cert take too long?
- Was there an issue during cert enrolment?
3. Check that the RA Cert is correct
4. Check that CA Template has root/intermediate certs configured
5. Check SCEP server url and that it is http
6. Double check that challenge password in CSR is correct:
openssl req -in test.csr -noout -text
7. Check that the vedscep URL (_URL_ works with a browser. It should return "Bad Request"

There is limited evidence on physical activity patterns among Hispanic adolescents in Puerto Rico. This restricts opportunities to implement effective interventions and policies to increase physical activity in schools. The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity behaviors of adolescents attending middle and high schools in Puerto Rico based on a compendium of moderate to vigorous physical activities including walking, jogging or running, bicycling, sports and more. A secondary purpose was to examine group differences as a function of gender and school level.
A cross-sectional survey research design was used. Students (N = 637) attending public middle and high schools completed a Visual 7-Day Physical Activity Recall survey. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted to describe the sample and to determine group differences.
Puerto Rican adolescents' levels of physical activity decreased throughout the week. Only a small proportion of them reached at least 60 minutes everyday of the week. Differences were found between middle and high school students' daily and weekly participation in physical activities.
Most adolescents do not engage in sufficient physical activity.
Implications of the results are discussed and recommendations are articulated for policy makers, educators, and other professionals.
