al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya () is a Palestinian town in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, located  northeast of Ramallah in the northern West Bank. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the town had a population of approximately 4,495 inhabitants in 2007.

Geographic location
The village is one of the towns in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh area, located   to the northeast of Ramallah. It sits at about 937 meters above sea level. To the  north  is Sinjil and Turmus Ayya, to the east is Khirbet Abu Falah and Kafr Malik, to the south is Deir Jarir,  to the south and west is Silwad, and to the west is Jilijliya.

History
Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya has been identified as the Crusader village named Mezera, and the possible site of a Crusader church. In 1112, Arnulf, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem granted the tithes of Mezera to the abbey of St Mary. In 1154 Mezera was mentioned in Crusader texts together with Tarphin. In 1183  Patriarch Heraclius of Jerusalem settled a dispute regarding the tithes of the village.

Ottoman era
In 1517, the village was included in the Ottoman empire with the rest of Palestine, and in the 1596 tax-records it appeared as Mazra'at Abu Tasa,   located  in the Nahiya of Jabal Quds of the Liwa of Al-Quds. The population was 29 households, all Muslim. They paid a fixed tax rate of 33.3% on agricultural products, which included wheat, barley, olive trees, vineyards and fruit trees, occasional revenues, goats and beehives; a total of 3,500 akçe.

In 1838 el-Mezra'ah was noted as a Muslim village, part of Beni Murrah district, located north of Jerusalem.

An Ottoman village list of about 1870 showed that "el-Mezraa" had 177 houses and a population of 641, though the population count included men, only. It also noted that it is located south of Turmus Ayya.

In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya as: "A large village on a hill-top, the hill-sides covered with vineyards; there are also olives and figs. The houses are of stone and adobe."

In 1896 the population of Mezraa, located in the Beni Murra region, was estimated to be about 801 persons.

British Mandate era
In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya had a population of 824 Muslims,  increasing  in the 1931 census to 1,191, still all Muslims, in a total of 247  houses.

In the 1945 statistics the population was 1,400 Muslim, while the total land area was 16,333 dunams, according to an official land and population survey. Of  this, 7,082  were allocated  for plantations and irrigable land, 3,831 for cereals, while 91 dunams were classified as built-up (urban) areas.

Jordanian era
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya  came under Jordanian rule.

The Jordanian census of 1961 found 1,929 inhabitants here.

Post-1967
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya has been under Israeli occupation.

After the 1995 accords, 10.1% of village land was classified as Area A, 71% as Area B, the remaining 18.9% as Area C. The Israelis have confiscated village land for the construction of Israeli bypass roads, to various Israeli military bases.

The town's many enormous and elaborate mansions have led it to be called the "Miami of the West Bank", according to the BBC. The wealth is not from local sources, but from the Palestinian diaspora.

We all know that over the past two years, the President has emphasized that he does not have the power to change the immigration laws on his own. He iterated and reiterated that fact 22 times. Then, in November 2014, he announced that he does have the power waive the immigration laws for some classes of people. Pursuant to his direction, the Department of Homeland Security issued a new "policy" that reads like a statute; it is six single-spaced pages, with sections, subsections, provisos, arbitrary dates, and the notice of its effective date (January 5, 2015).
Immigration, undocumented aliens, and charges of amnesty raise deeply felt issues for many people. I favor increased immigration into the United States. Remember, if American Indians had strict immigration laws, none of us would be here. People want to come here for the same reason that my parents, both immigrants, came here. This country is the land of opportunity and freedom.
My parents did not know the language; they did not know the customs. They were strangers in a strange land. Years later, my mother told me that when she first arrived, she was a little girl well past the age of toilet training, but she was so excited her first night in the United States that she had an accident. When my father fought in WWII, he was proud that the U.S. Army used him as a spy because he spoke Italian, well, like a native. When he was in his 90s, there came a time when I brought him to the VA hospital for a check-up. The doctor looked at his name and asked if he was Italian. He said, in a halting voice, "No, I am an American." His mind had deteriorated by then. He did not know what year it was; he did not know who was President. He did not know my name. Nevertheless, he knew that he was an American.
In general, I favor reform along the lines that the President has proposed. Whether Congress enacts "comprehensive" immigration reform or moves one-step at a time, the important thing is reform. The government tells us that there are over 11 million undocumented aliens. We will not march 11 million people across our border. Democracies do not engage in mass deportations. I think we also agree on the need to secure our borders. If a 15-year-old child can cross our borders without papers, an al Qaeda operative can surely do the same.
Hence, the issue is not whether one agrees with the President's goals. (I share them.) The issue is whether it is constitutional for the President, unilaterally, to rewrite our immigration laws and change the status of about 5 million people. If the President can waive any law (by claiming prosecutorial discretion), future Presidents will be able, for example, to rewrite other laws. For example, if the next President does not favor the Affordable Care Act, he or she can simply grant a waiver to all of that law, just as the present President has already granted a waiver to important parts of the Affordable Care Act.
As for resources, shortly after the President's speech, the Department of Homeland Security announced it was hiring 1,000 new people, some at salaries over $150,000 per year, to implement the President's new program. That does not sound like the President is facing a shortage of funds. The Government will also be issuing social security cards, and one wonders how that relates to prosecutorial discretion.
However, I would like to focus on a different issue, the OLC Legal Opinion. An Opinion Letter is not a court brief. While a brief can make any nonfrivolous legal argument, an Opinion Letter is supposed to be a more dispassionate and candid analysis of the law. In the past, when the OLC has issued its legal opinions, it has discussed, distinguished, and sometimes withdrawn its prior opinions. Let us turn the OLC Opinion and measure it by that standard—the standard that the OLC uses to measure its own Legal Opinions.
What does the Nov. 19, 2014, OLC Opinion say of its earlier 1980 Opinion? Nothing. It never mentions it.
What does the Nov. 19, 2014 OLC Opinion say of its own 1990 Opinion? Nothing.
What does the Nov. 19, 2014, OLC Opinion say of its own 1995 Legal Opinion? Nothing.
What do the people think of the OLC claim that the President is "prioritizing deportation?" They seem to think that handing out social security cards has little to with prioritizing deportation. Right now, voters by a 60% to 38% margin, object to the President bypassing Congress to change the immigration laws. Over two-thirds are concerned that the President's executive orders and unilateral actions may be "permanently altering" our system of checks and balances. Among independents, that figure is 72%; for Republicans, it is 90%. Even 42% of Democrats express the same concern. They are right to be concerned.

End-users Compliance to the Information Security Policy: A Comparison of Motivational Factors
Peter Straver, HU University of Applied SciencesFollow
Pascal Ravesteyn, HU University of Applied ScienceFollow
Business information, held within information systems, is critical for most organizations. To protect these critical information assets, security controls should be deployed which might come as a hindrance for the end-users. The Information Security Policies (ISP) give direction to their behaviors. Organizations can focus on conditions likely to promote so-called motivational factors influencing the end-users intentions to perform the desired behavior of compliance to ISP in order to protect these information assets.
In total, six motivational factors, applicable to intentions on compliance, are found during research and are measured within five organizational contexts. From the measurements and analysis is learned, that the degree to which these factors relate differs per factor and per context. Two of these factors were found to always relate in such degree to compliance intentions that even without measuring the degree for a particular organization, applying these factors can be very effective for any organization or context. The other four factors have shown to be effective within particular context(s) meaning measurement of the context is needed before utilizing these factors within an organization to optimize the effect of efforts.

Q: UDP clients pool sending but not receiving I am creating an udp client pool. The servers will be some other applications running in different computers, and they are suppoused to be alive from beginning. Using a configurable file (not important to problem in example so not included) one to several clients are created so they connect to those servers (1 to 1 relation) in a bidirectional way, sending and receiving.
Sending can be sync because it uses small messages and blocking there in not a problem, but receiving must be async, because answerback can arrive much later after sending.
In my test with only one sockect, it is able to send, but it is not receiving anything at all.
Q1: Where is the problem and how to fix it?
Q2: I also wonder if the use of iterators from std::vector in the async calls can be problematic at the time new connections are pushed into vector due to its rearangment in memory. This may be a problem?
Q3: I really does not understand why in all examples sender and receiver endpoints (endpoint1 and endpoint2 in example struct Socket) are different, couldn't they be the same?
My code is next:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/array.hpp>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>

using boost::asio::ip::udp;

class Pool
{
    struct Socket {
        std::string id;
        udp::socket socket;
        udp::endpoint endpoint1;
        udp::endpoint endpoint2;
        enum { max_length = 1024 };
        std::array<char, max_length> data;
    };

public:
    void create(const std::string& id, const std::string& host, const std::string& port)
    {
        udp::resolver resolver(io_context);
        sockets.emplace_back(Socket{ id, udp::socket{io_context, udp::v4()}, *resolver.resolve(udp::v4(), host, port).begin() });

        receive(id);
    }

    void send(const std::string& id, const std::string& msg)
    {
        auto it = std::find_if(sockets.begin(), sockets.end(), [&](auto& socket) { return id == socket.id; });
        if (it == sockets.end()) return;

        it->data = std::array<char, Socket::max_length>{ 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' };
        auto bytes = it->socket.send_to(boost::asio::buffer(it->data, 5), it->endpoint1);
    }

    void receive(const std::string& id)
    {
        auto it = std::find_if(sockets.begin(), sockets.end(), [&](auto& socket) { return id == socket.id; });
        if (it == sockets.end()) return;

        it->socket.async_receive_from(
            boost::asio::buffer(it->data, Socket::max_length),
            it->endpoint2,
            [this, id](boost::system::error_code error, std::size_t bytes) {
                if (!error && bytes)
                    bool ok = true;//Call to whatever function
                receive(id);
            }
        );
    }

    void poll()
    {
        io_context.poll();
    }

private:
    boost::asio::io_context io_context;
    std::vector<Socket> sockets;
};

int main()
{
    Pool clients;
    clients.create("ID", "localhost", "55000");

    while (true) {
        clients.poll();
        clients.send("ID", "x");
        Sleep(5000);
    }
}

A:
Q1: Where is the problem and how to fix it?

You don't really bind to any port, and then you have multiple sockets all receiving unbound udp packets. Likely they're simply competing and something gets lost in the confusion.

Q2: can std::vector be problematic

Yes. Use a std::deque (stable iterator/references as long as you only push/pop at either end). Otherwise, consider a std::list or other node-based container.
In your case map<id, socket> seems more intuitive.
Actually, map<endpoint, peer> would be a lot more intuitive. Or... you could do without the peers entirely.

Q3: I really does not understand why in all examples sender and
receiver endpoints (endpoint1 and endpoint2 in example struct Socket)
are different, couldn't they be the same?

Yeah, they could be "the same" if you don't care about overwriting the original endpoint you had sent to.

Here's my simplified take. As others have said, it's not possible/useful to have many UDP sockets "listening" on the same endpoint. That is, provided that you even bound to an endpoint.
So my sample uses a single _socket with local endpoint :8765.
It can connect to many client endpoints - I chose to replace the id string with the endpoint itself for simplicity. Feel free to add a map<string, endpoint> for some translation.

Prodigiosin ist ein Stoffwechselprodukt (Sekundärmetabolit) bestimmter Bakterien, das eine charakteristische rote Farbe aufweist. Der Name dieser seit dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert bekannten Substanz leitet sich vom lateinisch-englischen "prodigious" (wunderbar) ab.

Vorkommen
Prodigiosin wurde zuerst in dem Enterobakterium Serratia marcescens nachgewiesen. Weiterhin sind Prodigiosin sowie auch strukturell ähnliche Stoffe (Derivate) in den marinen Bakterien Alteromonas rubra und Vibrio gazogenes und wenigen weiteren Bakterienarten nachgewiesen worden. In diesen Bakterien kann das Molekül einen passiven Transmembrantransport von Chloridionen übernehmen.

Biosynthese
Chemisch gehört Prodigiosin zu den Tripyrrolen. Grundbausteine der Biosynthese sind Aminosäuren und Acetat, das heißt gegenüber der Biosynthese von Porphyrin wird Succinyl-CoA durch Acetyl-CoA ersetzt. Allerdings ist die Biosynthese dieses Moleküls auch nach jahrzehntelanger Forschung noch nicht vollständig verstanden.

Die Biosynthese erfolgt nicht unter allen Wachstumsbedingungen des Bakteriums. An der Regulation der Synthese ist cAMP beteiligt. Bei fallendem pH-Wert des Wachstumsmediums kippt die Farbe von rot nach grün um.

Wirkungen
Auffälligste Eigenschaft des Prodigiosins ist die rote Farbe. Daher wurde ein Einsatz des biologisch erzeugten Pigments zur Färbung von Fasern vorgeschlagen.

Die Substanz hat Wirkungen gegen Mikroorganismen und gegen Tumorzellen sowie als Immunsuppressivum gezeigt und daher lebhaftes Forschungsinteresse geweckt.

Die Kolonien von prodigiosinbildenden Bakterien ähneln im Aussehen Blutstropfen und können beispielsweise auf verdorbenem Brot auftreten. Im Glauben an Blutwunder bzw. Hostienwunder richteten Katholiken im Mittelalter das Fronleichnamsfest ein.

Strukturell verwandte Stoffe
Das mit Prodigiosin strukturverwandte Obatoclax hemmt das Protein Bcl-2 und wird für die Behandlung von Krebserkrankungen entwickelt.

"As I stated final week, this investigation is ongoing and transferring in a short time. I additionally stated final week's announcement wouldn't be our final and let me be clear as soon as once more, neither is in the present day's," he stated, including that:
I'm asserting that SDNY has filed charges in opposition to Caroline Ellison […] and Gary Wang […] in reference to their roles within the frauds that contributed to FTX's collapse. Both Ms. Ellison and Mr. Wang have plead guilty to these charges and each are cooperating with the SDNY.

The routine of my brain is beginning to bore me. The up and down and round and round. It's so predictable but seemingly unavoidable. I know that in a few days or a week or so, Il be on top of the world and excited about my show and il fully understand why I'm doing it and what I'm trying to say. Right now, however, I couldn't feel less confident or even interested in it at all. Now this very feeling was the inspiration for my show name and themes, which is great, but it doesn't make dealing with these issues any easier.
It's not all doom and gloom though, as some of you may know I struggle to work any job in which I have to hold money in my hand or do basic math under small amounts of pressure, which is why I have avoided working in bars and pubs like the plague, but in these times of absolute desperation you obviously have to take whatever you can get. At my second shift in a pub over the weekend something dawned on me about my self and its something that has come up, on the podcast and from my friends and family before, but on Saturday night I felt the relief of forgiving myself and letting go of trivial issues. Hopefully, I can apply this to real life now!

Q: Modifying/Adding Side-By-Side Assembly search sequence This question is a bit similar to this one, except for a little twist :
Can I modify the side-by-side assembly search sequence?
We have a couple different softwares, made with different languages, that talk to each other when they run. To achieve this we made .NET COM objects that we load using Registration-Free COM Activation. This works well. Some of the languages we use can't load COMs, so we made a C++ Wrapper DLL that uses ACTCTX to activate the COMs from their embeded manifests. Also working well.
But now, we have a case where our C++ Wrapper is loaded by code that is ran by an application that isn't ours (let's call it the runtime) that is located somewhere and our application is located somewhere else. We'd rather deploy our COM objects at the same place as application is deployed rather than next to the runtime application.
Not that it is important as the concept remains the same, but the runner is FourJ's Genero (fgl.exe) and the code that calls our C++ wrapper are in .42m files. The runner (fgl.exe) is installed with Genero, by default in Program Files\FourJs and our applications are in another directory with our company's name ie : Program Files\MyCompany
This is similar to what you'd get with Java. Runtime at one place, applcation somewhere else.
So in our case, our .42m loads the C++ Wrapper properly, the wrappers activates the COM (located in the same directory as our .42m and the wrapper) properly but once we try to instanciate an object, we get a "80070002" file not found error.
I've read
Assembly Searching Sequence and noticed the described behavior using Process Monitor.
So what happens is, since ultimately it's fgl.exe that is running, the Windows Side-By-Side loader looks into :

*

*C:\Program Files(x86)\FourJs\fgl\gen2.50\bin\MyCom.dll

*C:\Program Files(x86)\FourJs\fgl\gen2.50\bin\MyCom.dll\MyCom.dll

While my COM is really inside of C:\Program Files(x86)\MyCompany\MyApplication\MyCom.dll
To confirm the behavior, we copied the COM in the same directory as fgl.exe and as expected, it works.
So i would like to be able to add a Search Directory to my Activation Context so that it looks for this DLL in my deployment directory.
Is this possible ?
If i can't find another solution, we'll end up deploying our COMs inside of that directory, but that's just not the right.
Thanks
