One hit man who's back for revenge.
One detective who's not going down without a fight.
It's been ten months since Detective Madison Knight almost died at the hands of Russian Mafia hit man Constantine Romanov. She hasn't seen hide nor hair of him since he escaped police custody and fled to Russia soon after his arrest, except now her latest murder investigation gives her reason to believe he's back in town. Seeing as the victim is the man who killed her grandfather, her perspective may be a little skewed, but with the MO smacking of Constantine and the victim's connections to the mob, she finds it hard to be objective. Still, she's doing her best to consider all the evidence.
When she receives a threatening letter from Constantine, however, her suspicions are confirmed. And he's made it abundantly clear that not only does he plan to finish what he started but he has her family and loved ones in the crosshairs, too. Madison vows to do whatever it takes to save them, but as the hours race by, the body count rises. And the stakes only get higher when Madison's sister, Chelsea, goes missing.
Now, Madison's only play is to take Chelsea's disappearance for what it really means: Constantine is calling Madison out for one final showdown. And they won't both survive…
She currently lives just west of Toronto with her husband and beagle and is a member of Crime Writers of Canada and Sisters in Crime.
Excerpt from Chapter 1 of Power Struggle (Detective Madison Knight series)
Death was not discriminatory, but murder was certainly selective. At least that's what Major Crimes detective Madison Knight had learned in her twelve years with the Stiles PD.
She looked down at the male victim. He was single, fifty-nine, and lying on the king-size mattress in his master bedroom. Silver sheets were covering him to his hips, leaving his upper body bare and exposing multiple stab wounds to his chest and abdomen. Blood was everywhere, staining the bedding and spattered on the walls and ceiling.
Normally, being immersed in such a messy murder scene would make Madison's stomach churn. She'd most certainly feel a burning drive to get justice for the victim. But this time, she was devoid of emotion, flatlined like the man on the bed. If anything, there was lingering bitterness and underlying anger. Because she knew the victim. Jimmy Bates. The man who had killed her grandfather.
Because of Bates, her mother had lost her father as a teenager and her grandmother had to bury the love of her life before Madison was even born. And all this because Bates's father had been the numbers man for the branch of the Russian Mafia that operated out of Stiles, and Madison's grandfather, a police sergeant, had put him away.
Madison pinched her eyes shut briefly. A darker part of her was finding some sort of redemption in the fact that Bates had exited the world not of his own volition. Just as he had snuffed out her grandfather's life, someone had taken Bates's. A working out of Karma as it were…
"Are you all right?" asked her partner of seven years, Terry Grant. He had a light complexion and never had a blond hair out of place, always ran before breakfast, was a loving husband and father to a baby girl named Danielle. He was three years younger than Madison's thirty-six.
She turned to see that he hadn't come into the room alone. Higgins, the first officer on scene and her former training officer, stood next to him. Both men had given her time to be alone with the scene and Bates after learning the vic's identity.
"I'm fine." Her response had come out way too quickly to be believable.
She looked back at the body. Both his arms were over his head and tied to the barred, wooden headboard with zip ties. She let her gaze trail down to his ankles, to see if those were also restrained, but they were still covered. She'd have to wait until the scene was processed to find out.
Given the number of stab wounds he had, though, it was likely that both his arms and legs had been bound, which indicated that the killer knew where to strike to delay death and invoke torture. While the former indicated a professional, the latter suggested the killer may have been after something.
Madison scanned the room. A television was mounted on the wall at the end of the bed, and it was on at a low volume and tuned into a popular crime drama.
Odd how reality can mimic fiction.
"Winston should have sent someone else." Higgins sounded apologetic for the Major Crimes sergeant's decision to include her in the case.
She met his gaze and dismissed his comment with a wave. "He probably didn't even know the ID on the vic when he made the call." She returned her gaze to Bates, analyzing whether he'd paid and suffered enough for his wrongdoings. In life, he'd served a full twenty-five-year sentence, but when he'd gotten released nineteen years ago, it hardly seemed like enough punishment. Was his murder finally enough to satisfy her personal scales of justice?
As her mind relaxed, and she took in the scene, she sensed a familiarity about it. The numerous stab wounds, the bound wrists…
The woman was laid out on the couch, her arms open wide, one resting against the back of the sofa, the other raised in the air, its wrist twisted back at an unnatural angle. Her torso was stained red with blood, which extended to the sofa and the floor. It was as if a can of red paint had been dumped on top of her.
"It looks like she was stabbed dozens of times. The killer must be a professional, too."
At the time, bile had risen in Madison's throat. The odor, the sight—it had been all-encompassing.
The woman's name had been Lillian Norton, and the man who'd killed her had been a Russian Mafia hit man by the name of Constantine Romanov—the same hit man who had almost succeeded in raping and killing Madison ten months prior. Lillian's longtime boyfriend had worked as an attorney for the mob, and she'd been tortured for information.
With Bates's father's involvement with the Russian mob, as well, it didn't seem like it could be a coincidence that Bates's murder resembled Lillian's. And all the stab wounds, the bondage, the time it would have taken, and the seeming lack of concern over getting caught fit with Constantine's personality. But if Madison was going to entertain the idea that Bates was killed by the hit man, that meant—
God, no, please don't tell me he's back.

type: "guide"
description: "Free up precious operator time: use Sensu check hooks to automate data collection that operators would otherwise perform manually to investigate alerts."

version: "6.5"
product: "Sensu Go"

---

Check hooks are **commands** the Sensu agent runs in response to the result of check execution.
The Sensu agent executes the appropriate configured hook command based on the exit status code of the check (for example, `1`).

Check hooks allow you to automate data collection that operators would routinely perform to investigate observability alerts, which frees up precious operator time.
Although you can use check hooks for rudimentary auto-remediation tasks, they are intended to enrich observability event data.

Follow this guide to create a check hook that captures the process tree if a check returns a status of `2` (critical, not running).
You'll need to [install][2] the Sensu backend, have at least one Sensu agent running, and install and configure sensuctl.

## Configure a Sensu entity

Every Sensu agent has a defined set of [subscriptions][3] that determine which checks the agent will execute.
For an agent to execute a specific check, you must specify the same subscription in the agent configuration and the check definition.
To run the `nginx_service` check used as an example in this guide, you'll need a Sensu entity with the subscription `webserver`.

To add the `webserver` subscription to the entity the Sensu agent is observing, first find your agent entity name:

{{< code shell >}}
sensuctl entity list
{{< /code >}}

The `ID` is the name of your entity.

Replace `<entity_name>` with the name of your agent entity in the following [sensuctl][4] command.
Run:

{{< code shell >}}
sensuctl entity update <entity_name>
{{< /code >}}

- For `Entity Class`, press enter.
- For `Subscriptions`, type `webserver` and press enter.

Confirm both Sensu services are running:

{{< code shell >}}
systemctl status sensu-backend && systemctl status sensu-agent
{{< /code >}}

The response should indicate `active (running)` for both the Sensu backend and agent.

## Install and configure NGINX

The `nginx_service` check requires a running NGINX service, so you'll need to install and configure NGINX.

{{% notice note %}}
**NOTE**: You may need to install and update the EPEL repository with `sudo yum install epel-release` and `sudo yum update` before you can install NGINX.
{{% /notice %}}

Install NGINX:

{{< code shell >}}
sudo yum install nginx
{{< /code >}}

Enable and start the NGINX service:

{{< code shell >}}
systemctl enable nginx && systemctl start nginx
{{< /code >}}

Verify that NGINX is serving webpages:

{{< code shell >}}
curl -sI http://localhost
{{< /code >}}

The response should include `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` to indicate that NGINX processed your request as expected:

{{< code text >}}
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.20.1
Date: Wed, 06 Oct 2021 19:35:14 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 4833
Last-Modified: Fri, 16 May 2014 15:12:48 GMT
Connection: keep-alive
ETag: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
{{< /code >}}

With your NGINX service running, you can configure the webserver check.

## Create a hook

Create a new hook that runs a specific command to capture the process tree:

{{< code shell >}}
sensuctl hook create process_tree  \
--command 'ps aux' \
--timeout 10
{{< /code >}}

To confirm that the hook was added, run:

{{< language-toggle >}}

{{< code shell "YML" >}}
sensuctl hook info process_tree --format yaml
{{< /code >}}

{{< code shell "JSON" >}}
sensuctl hook info process_tree --format wrapped-json
{{< /code >}}

{{< /language-toggle >}}

The response will include the complete hook resource definition in the specified format:

{{< language-toggle >}}

{{< code yml >}}
---
type: HookConfig
api_version: core/v2
metadata:
  name: process_tree
spec:
  command: ps aux
  runtime_assets: null
  stdin: false
  timeout: 10
{{< /code >}}

{{< code json >}}
{
  "type": "HookConfig",
  "api_version": "core/v2",
  "metadata": {
    "name": "process_tree"
  },
  "spec": {
    "command": "ps aux",
    "runtime_assets": null,
    "stdin": false,
    "timeout": 10
  }
}
{{< /code >}}

{{< /language-toggle >}}

## Assign the hook to a check

{{% notice note %}}
**NOTE**: Before you proceed, make sure you have added the [sensu/sensu-processes-check](../monitor-server-resources/#register-the-sensu-processes-check-asset) dynamic runtime asset and the [`nginx_service` check](../monitor-server-resources/#create-a-check-to-monitor-a-webserver) from the [Monitor server resources](../monitor-server-resources/) guide.
The hook you create in this step relies on the `nginx_service` check.
{{% /notice %}}

Now that you've created the `process_tree` hook, you can assign it to the `nginx_service` check.
Setting the `type` to `critical` ensures that whenever the check command returns a critical status, Sensu executes the `process_tree` hook and adds the output to the resulting event data.

To assign the hook to your `nginx_service` check, run:

{{< code shell >}}
sensuctl check set-hooks nginx_service  \
--type critical \
--hooks process_tree
{{< /code >}}

Examine the check definition to confirm that it includes the hook.
Run:

{{< language-toggle >}}

{{< code shell "YML" >}}
sensuctl check info nginx_service --format yaml
{{< /code >}}

{{< code shell "JSON" >}}
sensuctl check info nginx_service --format wrapped-json
{{< /code >}}

{{< /language-toggle >}}

You should find the `process_tree` hook listed in the `check_hooks` array, within the `critical` array:

{{< language-toggle >}}

{{< code yml >}}

**PRO TIP**: You can also [view complete resource definitions in the Sensu web UI](../../../web-ui/view-manage-resources/#view-resource-data-in-the-web-ui).
{{% /notice %}}

## Simulate a critical event

After you confirm that the hook is attached to your check, stop the NGINX service to observe the check hook in action on the next check execution.

To manually generate a critical event for your `nginx_service` check, run:

{{< code shell >}}
systemctl stop nginx
{{< /code >}}

When you stop the service, the check will generate a critical event.
After a few moments, run:

{{< code shell >}}
sensuctl event list
{{< /code >}}

The response should list the `nginx_service` check, returning a CRITICAL status (`2`):

{{< code text >}}
     Entity          Check                                       Output                                   Status   Silenced             Timestamp                             UUID
─────────────── ─────────────── ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ──────── ────────── ─────────────────────────────── ───────────────────────────────────────
  sensu-centos   nginx_service   CRITICAL | 0 >= 1 (found >= required) evaluated false for "nginx"             2   false      2021-11-08 17:02:04 +0000 UTC   xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
                                 Status - CRITICAL
{{< /code >}}

## Validate the check hook

Verify that the check hook is behaving properly against a specific event with `sensuctl`.
To view the check hook command result within an event, replace <entity_name> in the following command with the name of your entity and run:

{{< language-toggle >}}

{{< code shell "YML" >}}
sensuctl event info <entity_name> nginx_service --format yaml
{{< /code >}}

{{< code shell "JSON" >}}
sensuctl event info <entity_name> nginx_service --format wrapped-json
{{< /code >}}

{{< /language-toggle >}}

The check hook command result is available in the `hooks` array, within the `check` scope:

{{< language-toggle >}}

{{< code yml >}}
check:
  ...
  hooks:
  - command: ps aux
    duration: 0.00747112

        "duration": 0.00747112,
        "executed": 1645555463,
        "issued": 0,
        "metadata": {
          "name": "process_tree"
        },
        "output": "USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND\nsensu    17638  0.0  0.1 155452  1860 ?        R    18:44   0:00 ps aux\n",
        "...": "...",
        "runtime_assets": null,
        "status": 0,
        "stdin": false,
        "timeout": 10
      }
    ],
    "...": "..."
  }
}
{{< /code >}}

{{< /language-toggle >}}

You can use sensuctl to query event info and send the response to `jq` so you can isolate the check hook output.
In the following command, replace `<entity_name>` with the name of your entity and run:

{{< code shell >}}
sensuctl event info <entity_name> nginx_service --format json | jq -r '.check.hooks[0].output'
{{< /code >}}

This example output is truncated for brevity, but it reflects the output of the `ps aux` command specified in the check hook you created:

{{< code shell >}}
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root         1  0.0  0.3  46164  6704 ?        Ss   Nov17   0:11 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --switched-root --system --deserialize 20

root         7  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S    Nov17   0:01 [migration/0]
root         8  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S    Nov17   0:00 [rcu_bh]
root         9  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S    Nov17   0:34 [rcu_sched]
{{< /code >}}

You can also view check hook command results in the web UI.
On the Events page, click the `nginx_service` event for your entity.
Scroll down to the `HOOK` section and click it to expand and review hook command results.

{{< figure src="/images/go/augment_event_data/hook_command_results_webui.gif" alt="Hook command results displayed in the Sensu web UI" link="/images/go/augment_event_data/hook_command_results_webui.gif" target="_blank" >}}

Restart the NGINX service to clear the event:

{{< code shell >}}
systemctl start nginx
{{< /code >}}

After a moment, you can verify that the event cleared:

{{< code shell >}}
sensuctl event list
{{< /code >}}

The response should list the `nginx_service` check with an OK status (`0`).

Now when you are alerted that NGINX is not running, you can review the check hook output to confirm this is true with no need to start up an SSH session to investigate.

## Next steps

To learn more about data collection with check hooks, read the [hooks reference][1].

You can also create [pipelines][11] with [event filters][9], [mutators][10], and [handlers][5] to send the event data your checks generate to another service for analysis, tracking, and long-term storage.
For example:

- [Send data to Sumo Logic with Sensu][6]
- [Send PagerDuty alerts with Sensu][7]
- [Send Slack alerts with a pipeline][8]

President Nicolas Maduro visits the tomb of the late Hugo Chavez in Caracas.
Sandra HernandezThis post has been updated, as indicated below.
The Christmas season has officially started in Venezuela, thanks to President Nicolas Maduro, who recently declared it so.
Indeed, Venezuelans are probably in need of a little cheering up given the state of things. The country's inflation rate has surged above 50%. Crime is soaring, blackouts are common and basic items, such as toilet paper, are apparently in such scant supply that in September, the government temporarily took over a factory to guarantee that consumers could buy all the rolls they needed.
But Maduro's decision is not as simple, or as crazy, as it may appear to some. Venezuela pays out an annual holiday bonus to government workers at Christmas. Under the new calendar, those workers could receive that money by early December, just a few days before municipal elections are scheduled. Opposition leaders have tried to portray that vote as a national plebiscite on Maduro and his government.
Whether voters see it that way is another matter. But I've got to give Maduro credit. He realizes he doesn't possess the political skills or charisma of the late President Hugo Chavez, so he's simply trying to distract attention from the problems plaguing the country. He's accused the United States of trying to overthrow his government, created a Ministry of Happiness to help lift the spirits of fellow countrymen and women, and now he's declared the start of Christmas in November.

With the kind of numbers Mac Williamson put up in the California League in 2013, putting on a Richmond Flying Squirrels uni on minor league baseball's opening day was inevitable. But an apparent injury will hold him back from the jump to Double-A, and the decision makes sense on multiple levels.
According to Joe Ritzo, San Jose Giants radio voice, Williamson is nursing an elbow strain in his throwing arm. There have been rumors the injury is UCL related — a ligament in the elbow that when torn requires Tommy John surgery — though Ritzo didn't mention anything along those lines.
Though throwing the baseball is something coaches are keeping Williamson from doing at the moment, which is hindering him from playing in the field, he's slated to begin a throwing program next week.
That being said, Williamson can swing the bat just fine, putting on a power display during Thursday's opening day batting practice session. I counted at least 5 home runs, including one that cleared the center field batter's eye — 430 feet at least. Considering the designated hitter is used during all games in the California League, Williamson's projected month-long rehabilitation stint with San Jose makes perfect sense. Playing in Richmond would not only expose him to the East Coast cold in April, but would keep him from being able to get at-bats on a daily basis, as he will surely do with San Jose.
The Eastern League uses the DH in roughly half their games.
Williamson slugged .503 last season with his first full-season team, clubbing 25 home runs and driving in 89 runs. That power will aid San Jose before he joins Richmond in a month, assuming his rehab goes according to plan.


Unless you are a Googlephobe, you are going to like the new Google Photos. I just put everything into Google Photos - every single photo from everywhere I could find them. It's all free - all your photos and videos from all your devices automatically stored on Google's servers and all for free. The only "catch" is maximum resolution of 16 megapixels and/or 1080p video, and I can certainly live with that.
I already have Apple iCloud syncing, for which I pay 99 cents a month. I also get free photo storage with my Amazon Prime account and a few other places here and there, but I suspect I'll be using Google Photos much more because of its vastly superior searching and sorting ability.
I now have all my photos available from every device with no local storage used.

And there were three
No new news here. As a matter of fact, Chuck at Ivychat as always was front and center on this days ago. Still there are a few small nuggets to add. According to the Washington Business Journal there are three groups that have emerged as bidders for the Tribune Co. Here is what they say:
According to the report, three groups have emerged as possible bidders:
D.C.-based Carlyle Group;
Madison Dearborn Partners, ProvidenceEquity Partners, and Apollo
Management;
Thomas H. Lee Partners and TexasPacific Group.
At the moment, it is unclear whether Carlyle would bid alone or join with a
group of buyers.
The report said that some bidders think the Chandler family, the largest shareholder in Tribune after the purchase of Los Angeles' Times Mirror in 2000, would accept a per-share buyout bid in the mid-$30s.
Despite the final three, speculation remains that the Trib could be sold off in parts. According to Newsday media companies like Denver based MediaNews Group are taking a look at some of the Tribune's print properties.
And in case you missed this from a few days ago, Tribune Execs are preparing to exit the company once the takeover is complete. This from MarketWatch:
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Tribune Co. (TRB), which is considering a range of strategic options, changed several employee-benefit plans to speed up payments if there is a change of control at the company.
The publisher of the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times disclosed the potential payouts of previously earned benefits in a filing Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It's unclear from the filing the value executives have built up in the benefit plans. A Tribune spokeswoman said the plan amendments result in no new or additional benefits to company officers.
Tribune's board approved the changes last week to a bonus deferral plan, supplemental retirement plan and supplemental defined-contribution plan, the filing said.
The changes come as Tribune, beset by industrywide revenue pressures and unhappy investors, plans to decide by the end of the year on options to enhance shareholder value, including a possible asset sale or outright sale of the company.
Well it's looking clearer and clearer that despite the hopes of a vocal minority, the Tribune Company and the Chicago Cubs are about to have a new owner. Did anyone explain this to Lou Piniella when he took the job? How long will Jim Hendry survive the change in ownership? Maybe John McDonough really is interim. These are the days of our lives.
Seen on the Web: There is a new website that's pushing the Cubs to bring back the Stone Pony. bringbackstoney.com has an interesting quote at the bottom from Len K. Very interesting!

Q: Use of nullable in onCreateView and onCreatedView I have two fragments classes say A and B and one mainactivity class.I looked some tutorials and have added recycler view(this is not the main concern though).Following up the tutorial on my both fragment classes i have this code
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView (LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable
    ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState){
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.absent, container, false);
    return rootView;
}

@Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
}

so what is the use of @Nullablehere?.i have searched this many times but i can't understand it's use  and even that tutorial haven't mentioned anything about @nullabe.Can anyone make me understand about this?
please don't bother in talking about recycler view because i have already added it.

A: The @Nullable annotation indicates a variable, parameter, or return value that can be null You ever get a "NullPointerException"? That's because the value is null.
Integer x;

'x' Will be null because you haven't assigned a value to it so there will be errors using it. But what if you have a variable that might actually be null in some use cases? Well, you'd use the @Nullable annotation meaning that it's okay to be null.
@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState

Bundle in this case might have nothing stored in it. So it's okay to be null when the method is called.
Same goes for the method onCreateView() meaning that the return can be null

A: @Nullable allows variables with null values as argument. And in method cases, allows called method to return a null values. For more info, checkout the following answer.

A: It's a compile time annotation that tells the compiler (and you) that the incoming parameter could be nullable.  Thus, you need to be able to handle that scenario. It can also be used for other code analyzers to help analyze your code and find potential errors.
On the flip-side, there is also the @NonNull annotation which says that the method does not accept or handle null objects.  So, if you were to use it, the LINTer would produce a warning or error if a null object was passed in.
None of these annotations on run-time.  They're only meant to guide you to producing higher quality code.

We had our quarterly luncheon on Wednesday then the holiday breakfast at the high school on Thursday. The luncheon was winter themed as opposed to holiday themed and I missed a little the holiday touches but understand why we dialed it down. The holiday breakfast at the high school is always one of my favorite things this time of year. The FFA students always do such a great job with it. This year, they had on their FFA jackets and just looked so sharp and put together. I thought it was the cutest thing ever! The food was great, OF COURSE. How can a simple breakfast taste so good? The bacon, THE BACON!
Christmas Eve day the hubby worked so I watched a bunch of movies– While You Were Sleeping (if Die Hard is a Christmas movie then so is WYWS!), Sleepless in Seattle, Inception, Galaxy Quest. All favorites of mine for one reason or another.
Even though it seems like there has been a lot of celebrity deaths, I'm not going to write off 2016 like so many people seem to want to do. Are they all saying that NOTHING positive and wonderful happened in their lives in the whole of the year? Are their own lives so small and meaningless that when a celebrity dies it's the end of the world? Now that's just not the way to live.


Well, it looks like 2018 isn't exactly shaping up better than 2017, as we've already had one illness followed by an injury followed by another injury. And we're only on day 10 of the year!
I seem to be mentally and emotionally stable enough right now in order to handle it all. I'm not the one injured, and my change in parenting strategy (that whole being empathetic thing) seems to be working to reduce the amount of kid whining/wailing, which helps keep my stress level down. But for the sake of my husband, I do wish Life would give him a pass and stop tormenting him.
It comes out to a total of 4900 lbs per night, three nights a week.
Writing wise, I have found I continue to hone my skills in the art of confusing the heck out of people. I succeeded again this past week to make my local critique group say WTF is going on in this chapter (hint: I didn't give any visual indications or written triggers to indicate that the character's brain was getting flooded with memories that had been previously hidden from him). I rewrote it using italics and added in the character's dead brother informing him that he was going to be getting all these memories back, so hopefully it'll be less confusing this time around. I'm going to let it sit and return to it in a week to see if it still makes sense. In the meantime, I've been beta-reading and critiquing some truly excellent stories, so that's a brightening of my spirits.
What hints do you have for staying positive? Do you enjoy exercise?
What thing do you excel at when writing?
It's me, checking your checkbox! 🙂 I think I miss them because of the location. Can you move them up to before the post comment button?
If someone replies to this, I'll let you know when I'm notified.
Well now, I simply must reply! I'll have to check the setting for the plug-in to see if I can move them or not. I only added the plug-in for another author who I was hosting a guest post for, and they wanted to be notified anytime someone posted a comment.
That's what's great about critique groups. They let you know when you've failed to convey something. That's valuable feedback.
Good luck with your fitness goals.
That's a good workout routine. I go more for cardio but I'll throw in weights sometimes. And yes, I hit the gym four to five times a week and either walk or jog the other days.
I'm having fun with the Livestrong program. We're getting trained on the Strive machines this week, and yesterday I found out my single leg press is 250 and my arm press is 150 pounds. I'm in a lot better shape than most of the cancer survivors there, and I attribute that to how active I've always been. Here's to staying in shape!
Staying positive is work. Listen to music, sounds for relax or classical, read something uplifting or study something uplift e.g. The Greatest Salesman in World by Og Mandino–a story that can be used as self-help with strong uplifting message or similar reading for the heart and mind specifically, meditate, talk to a friend, write or write in journal, create and say positive affirmations, create something, do something fun and I enjoy, sketch-doodle, watch something uplifting, color, make a conscious, aware effort, to stop the negative thought and put something positive in its place.
Two thoughts cannot be held in your mind at the same time, which is why mantras/affirmation statements can also be helpful as well as prayer. It forces you to switch focus from one thing to the other. List making can do it too, lol.
It is hard work to learn how to create positivity that lives within you instead of being knocked around like a scape of paper depending on the whim of the weather. Focus on the positive is the key and practice every second, minute, hour or day, makes it become a natural reaction, creating a habit, which is why it is such hard work to do and then to maintain. Yeah still learning but better at it but still not a master or an expert at staying in the zone long term.
My list of staying positive during the struggles is long because I search and work at it for at least 2 1/2 years. I don't think perpetual happy a normal thing either but learning how to control your thoughts helps in all walks of life. Not that I think we are supposed to always be there but it can turn our normal into a positive state of mind on the long term and in difficulty. Just the trying has help so much to my overall state of mind.
Sorry there's been illness and injuries. Hope things start to get better!
Glad your critique group was able to help you out! I should probably let other people (besides my husband) read my WIP at some point so I can get feedback and not just try to figure everything out on my own.
I wish we still had weights. Just an elliptical now.
I've read dozens upon dozens of self help books. One can't stay positive all the time, but it really comes down to what we say to ourselves in our head. Plus we have to be careful who we hang out with. Negative crabs will just drag us down with them.
Sorry for the illnesses and injuries at the start of your year. But glad you're being positive. It's hard to hear something is confusing in your manuscript, but something good to know. I think you've got a great strategy to sit on it for a bit.
And I 'm so impressed with your exercise schedule!
I don't exercise. I should, but I don't. But I feel like I move a lot all the time doing normal, every-day things. (This is what I tell myself when I think about working out.) But good for you for sticking with it. I would've given up January 2nd.
I'm sorry to hear your hubby is struggling. Your workout routine is very impressive! I'm trying to get back into yoga. My new DVD set arrived the other day, I'm waiting for my latest migraine to pass to I can get started. Woot Woot!!
Staying positive is a valuable key to staying on top of life. It sounds like you are going forward the best way. I try to take that approach to juggling my illness and my writing. All the best, Loni.
Your workout sounds rigorous. I started going back to my gym this week. I rode the bike 10.6 kilometers and was happy about that. I wouldn't worry so much about the writing progress. You're in a critique group and you critique. There's a learning effect there. At least, I learn a lot when I critique other people's work.
All the best and I hope things calm down for your hubby.
It seems, when you're a mom, even if the injuries or illnesses aren't yours, they still give you extra work.
Oog, that's a lot. >_< Both a lot to have happen in only ten days, and a lot of weight to lift on a daily basis. I'm not entirely sure how you handle either one. Best of luck with getting your book stuff straightened out – I've been in a similar place, where what I write makes perfect sense to me because I know what's happening and yet I've left out a crucial detail that would make a reader understand. But it's one of those things that, once you know you do it, you can watch out for it in the future. Hope yours works out.
That is impressive. Both the exercise and the skills in the art of confusing the heck out of people. I only share one of those. Won't say which. Anyhoo… I demand health in that family of yours! 2018 will be better! Make it so, number one.
I remember trying to describe a scene without any written triggers (thinking that they were a form of telling) and discovered how quickly I could confuse my critique partners. It's important to (gently) help guide the reader through a scene.
Great job with the exercises. 60 sit-ups a day is pretty tough.
Your exercise goals are impressive!
I read somewhere that keeping a list of three things you're grateful for over 21 consecutive days will retrain your brain to focus on the positive. Not sure if it works yet, but I passed the 21 days and decided to keep going. It's a nice, quick, journal-of-good-things-that-happened at a glance, and it can't hurt.
Sorry to hear about your husband. I felt the same in Nov/Dec re: my boyfriend. It was one thing after another. It's awful to watch someone you love go through that.

Nipah antibodies detected in two bat species: Kerala health minister
It was in Kozhikode district where the fatal virus had claimed the life of a boy earlier this month.
Written by Shaju Philip
Thiruvananthapuram | Updated: September 30, 2021 00:29 IST
The health department had earlier asked people not to consume fruits picked up from the ground, as such fruits could have been bitten by bats carrying the Nipah virus. (File photo)
Kerala's Health Minister Wednesday said the National Institute of Virology had found Nipah virus antibodies in samples collected from two fruit bat varieties in Kozhikode district. It is widely accepted that these mammals are the source of the virus and the finding reinforces this.
Minister Veena George said NIV, Pune, had collected samples from a region close to where the outbreak was reported.
The outbreak was reported at Chathamangalam panchayat. The samples of Pteropus (known as flying foxes) were collected from the nearby Kodiyathur panchayat. Those of Rousettus Aegyptiacus (Egyptian fruit bat) were collected from Thamarassery panchayat, 15 km from Chathamangalam.
The minister said the results of 50-odd samples are yet to arrive. "We have to assume that fruit bats are the source of Nipah. More research has to be held in this regard to arrive at a final confirmation," she said.
Top News Right Now
One Nipah infection, that of the boy, was reported in Kozhikode on September 4. Prior to this, Kerala had seen two Nipah outbreaks, the first being in 2018..After the latest case, around 250 people, mainly the primary contacts of the diseased boy and the health workers who had attended to him in various hospitals, were isolated.
The minister said the 21-day incubation period of the virus is over and no fresh case has been reported during the period. The outbreak of the virus will be declared 'contained' after 42 days of the solitary case being confirmed. Until then, the vigil would continue, she said.

A network design change requires an existing firewall to start accessing Palo Alto Updates from a dataplane interface address instead of the management interface.
Which configuration setting needs to be modified?
The firewall uses the management (MGT) interface by default to access external services, such as DNS servers, external authentication servers, Palo Alto Networks services such as software, URL updates, licenses and AutoFocus. An alternative to using the MGT interface is to configure a data port (a regular interface) to access these services. The path from the interface to the service on a server is known as a service route. The service packets exit the firewall on the port assigned for the external service and the server sends its response to the configured source interface and source IP address.
You can configure service routes globally for the firewall or Customize Service Routes for a Virtual System on a firewall enabled for multiple virtual systems so that you have the flexibility to use interfaces associated with a virtual system.
A network security engineer needs to configure a virtual router using IPv6 addresses.
C: OSPFv3 provides support for the OSPF routing protocol within an IPv6 network. As such, it provides support for IPv6 addresses and prefixes.
2. Add a Virtual Router and go to Static Routes > IPv6.
A Network Administrator wants to deploy a Large Scale VPN solution. The Network Administrator has chosen a GlobalProtect Satellite solution. This configuration needs to be deployed to multiple remote offices and the Network Administrator decides to use Panorama to deploy the configurations.
How should this be accomplished?
A. Create a Template with the appropriate lKE Gateway settings.
B. Create a Device Group with the appropriate lPSec tunnel settings.
C. Create a Device Group with the appropriate IKE Gateway settings.
D. Create a Template with the appropriate lPSec tunnel settings.
Note: The administrator of the satellite must enter the credentials when the satellite connects to the portal.
This is done on the satellite by navigating to Network > IPSec Tunnels and choosing "gateway info" and then clicking on "Enter Credentials".
People are having intermittent quality issues during a live meeting via a web application.
How can the performance of this application be improved?
When is it necessary to activate a license when provisioning a new Palo Alto Networks firewall?
A file sharing application is being permitted and no one knows what this application is used for.
How should this application be blocked?
A. Block all unauthorized applications using a security policy.
B. Block all known internal custom applications.
C. Create a File Blocking Profile that blocks Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks.
D. Create a WildFire Analysis Profile that blocks Layer4 and Layer 7 attacks.
The firewall uses file blocking profiles two ways: to forward files to WildFire for analysis or to block specified file types over specified applications and in the specified session flow direction (inbound/outbound/both).
You can set the profile to alert or block on upload and/or download and you can specify which applications will be subject to the file blocking profile. You can also configure custom block pages that will appear when a user attempts to download the specified file type. This allows the user to take a moment to consider whether or not they want to download a file.
D: Use a WildFire analysis profile to enable the firewall to forward unknown files or email links for WildFire analysis. Specify files to be forwarded for analysis based on application, file type, and transmission direction (upload or download).
YouTube videos are consuming too much bandwidth on the network, causing delays in mission-critical traffic. The administrator wants to throttle YouTube traffic.
A QoS profile has been created, and QoS has been enabled on both interfaces. A QoS rule exists to put the YouTube application into QoS class 6. Interface Ethernet 1/1 has a QoS profile called Outbound, and interface Ethernet 1/21 has a QoS profile called Inbound.
Which setting for Class 6 will throttle YouTube traffic?
Identify the egress interface for applications that you identified as needing QoS treatment.
The egress interface for traffic depends on the traffic flow. If you are shaping incoming traffic, the egress interface is the internal-facing interface. If you are shaping outgoing traffic, the egress interface is the external-facing interface.
Which field is optional when creating a new Security Police rule?
The optional fields are: Description, Tag, Source IP Address and Destionation IP Address.
When using the predefined default antivirus profile, the policy will inspect for viruses on the decoders.
The default profile inspects all of the listed protocol decoders for viruses, and generates alerts for SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 protocols while blocking for FTP, HTTP, and SMB protocols.
When a malware-infected host attempts to resolve a known command-and-control server, the traffic matches a security policy with DNS sinkhole enabled, generating a traffic log.
What will be the destination IP address in that log entry?
A. The IP address specified in the sinkhole configuration.
B. The IP address of the command-and-control server.
D. The IP address of one of the external DNS servers identified in the anti-spyware database.
Change the "Action on DNS queries" to 'sinkhole'.
Click in the Sinkhole IPv4 field and type in the fake IP. The example here shows using 1.1.1.1 for simplicity, but as long as this fake IP is not used inside of the network, then it should be Ok. Alternatively, you can also use either a Loopback IP (127.0.0.1) or Palo Alto Networks Sinkhole IP (71.19.152.112).
How can a Palo Alto Networks firewall be configured to send syslog messages in a format compatible with non-standard syslog servers?
B. Check the custom-format check box in the syslog server profile.
C. Enable support for non-standard syslog messages under device management.
D. Create a custom log format under the syslog server profile.
To customize the format of the syslog messages that the firewall sends, select the Custom Log Format tab.
For details on how to create custom formats for the various log types, refer to the Common Event Format Configuration Guide.
A. The management interfaces must be on the same network.
B. The firewalls must have the same set of licenses.
C. The peer HA1 IP address must be the same on both firewalls.
D. HA1 should be connected to HA1, either directly or with an intermediate Layer 2 device.
The same set of licenses –Licenses are unique to each firewall and cannot be shared between the firewalls. Therefore, you must license both firewalls identically. If both firewalls do not have an identical set of licenses, they cannot synchronize configuration information and maintain parity for a seamless failover.
The same type of interfaces –Dedicated HA links, or a combination of the management port and in-band ports that are set to interface type HA.
Determine the IP address for the HA1 (control) connection between the HA peers. The HA1 IP address for both peers must be on the same subnet if they are directly connected or are connected to the same switch.
Which device Group option is assigned by default in Panorama whenever a new device group is created to manage a Firewall?
Select the Parent Device Group (default is Shared) that will be just above the device group you are creating in the device group hierarchy.

Erald was born and raised in a south suburb of Paris. He has always had a passion for sharing and teaching his native language and culture. He received his B.A in France and studied in English. After a business school degree, he moved on to the education and training of adults and young adults. He has traveled extensively around the world and in 2010 he moved to Chicago with his family to enjoy this wonderful city. His professional experience, his communication skills and his passion for people has shaped him into an energetic and dynamic person.


As a mother of three boys who are members of Generation Z (Gen Z), I wonder how future employers will keep their attention with corporate training. Defined loosely as the generation born between 1996 and 2011, Gen Z is 25 percent of the world's population. Gen Z is the world's first generation of truly digital natives. They were born and have grown up with high-speed internet, smartphones, social media and access to news.
When I was growing up, we had a few television channels to pick from. You checked the TV guide, chose among a few options and made sure you watched your selection during its time slot. In contrast, my children have seemingly infinite options to select from and spend hours a day watching digital content on multiple devices. Except for parental guidelines and access control technology, they have complete control over what they watch and how they consume it.
According to research by multi-platform media company Awesomeness, in partnership with research firm Trendera, the top five social platforms that Gen Z is using are YouTube (79 percent), Facebook (78 percent), Instagram (69 percent), Snapchat (68 percent) and Twitter (49 percent). Across these platforms, Gen Z watches an average of 68 videos per day.
As training leaders think about investing in training technology and infrastructure, we need to consider the needs of Gen Zers. Gen Z will hit the corporate workforce in a couple of years, and the technology we invest in today must support their preferences and lifestyle.
Training millennials brought about changes in training, such as microlearning. But we need to adapt now to the needs of this upcoming generation, which refuses to be passive learners. Here are three key trends that we need to consider in our future training infrastructure.
We need to adapt now to the needs of this upcoming generation, which refuses to be passive learners.
Gen Zers are used to learning and playing in social environments. The games Fortnite Battle Royal from Epic Games, for example, is wildly popular due in part to social gaming and team collaboration. Gen Zers tend to embrace social learning environments, where they can be hands-on and directly involved in the learning process. They expect on-demand services that are available at any time and with low barriers to access.
Companies need to consider collaborative learning environments that can meet these needs. Collaborative learning capitalizes on different skills and experiences to solve problems faster and get better results. The technologies that enable collaborative learning, which are mostly web-based, connect people and social tools while they work.
Collaborative learning capitalizes on different skills and experiences to solve problems faster and get better results.
VR training is not a new concept but should be considered when looking at solutions for Gen Z. It is already used to train employees who work in high-risk environments, such as the military and health care. Learners can perform real strategies or actions, but in a virtual environment, they can afford to make mistakes.
Use of VR in education settings has increased due to new solutions, such as Lenovo's Virtual Reality Classroom, which delivers a teaching and learning VR experience for K-12 education. Solutions such as Lenovo's will change the way teachers teach lessons and students consume information. Because students will be familiar with learning through VR solutions, corporate trainers need to consider how they will use this technology going forward.
Used to boost reinforcement, gamification has started to gain traction in the corporate learning space. Gamification solutions are designed to ignite people's competitive spirit and make learning fun.
Gen Zers now spend 52 percent of their daily online time on mobile devices, according to 2017 GlobalWebIndex research. This comes out to average of four hours and 10 minutes – much of which is spent playing online games. We need to deliver training in a format that Gen Zers are both familiar with and excited about.
What about non-Gen Zers that will still inhabit the workplace? I would argue that their needs are adapting to the new channels of information, and we should design for the incoming generation. Learner attention span is shorter than ever, and mobile devices prevail. Corporate training needs to adapt to this brave new world.
Learner attention span is shorter than ever, and mobile devices prevail. Training needs to adapt to this brave new world.

5 Reasons Why You Should Take Part in Charity Cycling Events
by pamelaharris555 on Tuesday 24 January 2023 17:01
Research suggests that performing acts of kindness can have positive effects on your physical and mental health, reducing stress, lowering blood pressure and improving your well-being. There are different ways you can spread kindness in the world, such as participating in a charity cycling event. Doing this creates a positive cycle of generosity and compassion, inspiring other people to engage in similar behaviours. Here are five reasons why you should take part in a charity cycling event.
Raise money for a good cause
Charity cycling events allow you to raise money for a cause you care about. Charities rely on donations to continue their work, so this can be a rewarding experience, as you know your fundraising efforts will make a difference in people's lives. Even when it gets tough, you'll feel motivated to keep going during the challenge, reminding yourself that it will be worth it in the end.
Build a sense of community
Participating in a charitable event provides a sense of belonging and purpose, as it brings together people with similar interests and values. Working together towards such a valuable goal leads to meaningful bonds with people, and you may even find out you have more things in common beyond charity. If you're looking for ways to expand your social circle, this can be a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and develop long-lasting friendships.
Explore new places
Many charity cycling events take place in scenic locations, allowing you to explore new areas and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Just think about it. It's a win-win kind of situation, where you can do something that you love while also helping others. And what better way to see a beautiful place than from the bike's seat?
Improve your physical and mental health
Cycling can benefit your well-being and overall fitness. Once you complete the challenge, you'll reap the rewards of the hours you spent preparing for the big day, feeling fit. Cardio-related exercises produce happy chemicals, and you'll also get vitamin D by cycling in the sunshine. Research from Harvard University has shown that individuals giving their time or money to charities are more likely to experience a sense of happiness than those who don't. Further research also suggests volunteering boosts cardiovascular health, decreases blood pressure, and enhances lifespan.
Professional and personal development
This challenge you take on for charity can also open up exciting opportunities for your personal and professional development. For instance, some charities provide unique prizes for top fundraisers. Moreover, if you build a relationship with the charity, you may want to get involved in other future fundraising activities, giving you a chance to develop new skills. You may discover an interest you'd further like to pursue professionally, which could lead to a rewarding career path. Completing a cycling challenge is also a way to push yourself out of your comfort zone and test your physical and mental limits. This will help you gain self-confidence, contributing to your personal development.
As you can see, participating in a charity cycling event has numerous benefits. Giving has a ripple effect, and taking on this challenge can potentially change someone else's life, which is the biggest reason why you should get on your bike for a charity event.

Q: Save image url or save image file in sql database? We can save an image with 2 way

*

*upload image in Server and save image url in Database.

*save directly image into database

which one is better?

A: There's a really good paper by Microsoft Research called To Blob or Not To Blob.
Their conclusion after a large number of performance tests and analysis is this:

*

*if your pictures or document are typically below 256K in size, storing them in a database VARBINARY column is more efficient

*if your pictures or document are typically over 1 MB in size, storing them in the filesystem is more efficient (and with SQL Server 2008's FILESTREAM attribute, they're still under transactional control and part of the database)

*in between those two, it's a bit of a toss-up depending on your use
If you decide to put your pictures into a SQL Server table, I would strongly recommend using a separate table for storing those pictures - do not store the employee foto in the employee table - keep them in a separate table. That way, the Employee table can stay lean and mean and very efficient, assuming you don't always need to select the employee foto, too, as part of your queries.
For filegroups, check out Files and Filegroup Architecture for an intro. Basically, you would either create your database with a separate filegroup for large data structures right from the beginning, or add an additional filegroup later. Let's call it "LARGE_DATA".
Now, whenever you have a new table to create which needs to store VARCHAR(MAX) or VARBINARY(MAX) columns, you can specify this file group for the large data:
 CREATE TABLE dbo.YourTable
     (....... define the fields here ......)
     ON Data                   -- the basic "Data" filegroup for the regular data
     TEXTIMAGE_ON LARGE_DATA   -- the filegroup for large chunks of data

Check out the MSDN intro on filegroups, and play around with it!

A: Like many questions, the ansewr is "it depends." Systems like SharePoint use option 2. Many ticket tracking systems (I know for sure Trac does this) use option 1.
Think also of any (potential) limitations. As your volume increases, are you going to be limited by the size of your database? This has particular relevance to hosted databases and applications where increasing the size of your database is much more expensive than increasing your storage allotment.

A: Saving the image to the server will work better for a website, given that these are incidental to your website, like per customer branding images - if you're setting up the next Flickr obviously the answer would be different :).  You'd want to set up one server to act as a file server, share out the /uploaded_images directory (or whatever you name it), and set up an application variable defining the base url of uploaded images.  Why is it better?  Cost.  File servers are dirt cheap commodity hardware.  You can back up the file contents using dirt cheap commodity (even just consumer grade) backup software.  And if your file server croaks and someone loses a day of uploaded images?  Who cares.  They just upload them again.  Our database server is an enterprise cluster running on SSD SAN.  Our backups and tran logs are shipped to remote sites over expensive bandwidth and maintained even on tape for x period.  We use it for all the data where we need the ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) benefits of a RDBMS.  We don't use it for company logos.

A: Store them in the database unless you have a good reason not to.
Storing them in the filesystem is premature optimization.
With a database you get referential integrity, you can back everything up at once, integrated security, etc.
The book SQL Anti-Patterns calls storing files in the filesystem an anti-pattern.

Initial public offerings (IPO) of companies venturing into the stock market can provide a great opportunity for outsiders to view the inner workings of many of today's new tech giants, providing insights to their corporate focus, and how they do business in general. Often buried within those IPO's are revelations on the firm's web hosting expenses!
"Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased by $62.9 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher absolute hosting costs due to user growth, which were partially offset by lower relative hosting costs due to the May 2017 amendment of our enterprise agreement with AWS," says the filing.
The filing also says that Pinterest paid $125 million to AWS in an initial commitment through June, 2018. Although Pinterest is not obligated to meet monthly cloud purchase minimums, the contract does stipulate full payment regardless of shortfall between actually usage and the $750 million mandated in the agreement. There is also a termination clause allowing Pinterest to end its AWS deal early, provided it pays "liquidated damages" to Amazon. AWS hosts the majority of Pinterest's software and apps on its Cloud Hosting Service.
While the numbers at first seem staggering, it's not uncommon for social media type startups to rely on public cloud-computing platforms, such as AWS and Azure. The platforms allow developers to rent minimal hosting capacity from the tech giants massive-scale data centers and add more computing capacity with the push of a button as demand increases.
Another company, ride hailing service Lyft, had buried within its IPO a contractual obligation to pay at least $300 million to Amazon Web Services (AWS) between January 2019 and December 2021.
Lyft committed to spending at least $80 million in each of the three years of the deal, with the stipulation that it will spend $300 million in aggregate overall. The S-1 filing said this figure was actually an addendum to an existing deal — in March 2018, Lyft agreed to pay AWS $150 million by June 2021. Then in January of this year the deal was again modified to its present terms. If Lyft's usage of Amazon's cloud doesn't hit or exceed that $300 million threshold, it'll have to pay the difference. AWS hosts Lyft entire app and platform.
Then there is Snapchat. It's parent company went public in 2017 and it was revealed that it was paying Google Cloud $400 million a year through 2022. Although the terms of Snap's agreement with Google allow Snapchat to use other cloud providers, it's hard to imagine there is much appetite to do so. It's been rumored that the company recently recruited a inhouse data center specialist.
Proponents of public and hybrid clouds models claim that cloud computing allows companies to avoid or minimize up-front IT infrastructure costs, get their applications up and running faster, with improved manageability and less maintenance. It also enables IT teams to more rapidly adjust resources to meet fluctuating and unpredictable demand. Cloud providers typically use a "pay-as-you-go" model and are often billed as being cheaper than maintaining your own servers in a data center. Possibly so but often that's generally only true at small scales. At larger scales, the costs can quickly add up to be significant. Recently some large-scale web companies like Dropbox have actually moved from the public cloud back to their own servers. That however can also be a costly project that requires significant investment and commitment.
Moral of the story.. Well there isn't one but for those of us with awesome web hosts to keep our sites humming along 24/7, it does kind of make us feel better and our web hosting cost seem trivial!


Scaling and root planing is commonly known as a "deep cleaning". More than 50% of patients over the age of 30 are diagnosed with some form of gum disease. Gum disease occurs when plaque and calculus (tartar) accumulate on the tooth surfaces and work their way below the gumline. This causes a localized inflammatory response within your gum tissue and surrounding bone. Untreated periodontal disease results in bad breath, bleeding gums, bone loss, tooth mobility and tooth loss. It is very important to be treated for gum disease as soon as possible as it is a progressive condition.
Scaling and root planing aims to remove the plaque and calculus that has worked its way below your gum line. It can typically be treated under topical anesthetic. However, more advanced cases may require a local anesthetic in order to reduce discomfort. Most cases take about 1 hour to complete.

Q: Need help completing code for password conversion I'm very new at Python and need some help finishing the code. This is Tkiner related.  I have an entry box, a button, and a lower frame for the output.
def loop_over_input(the_str=''):
    master_list = []
    for char in the_str:
        tmp_char = passwordConversion[char]
        master_list.append(tmp_char)
    print("Master Pass List: ", master_list)
    return master_list

This will work in command line with a couple of other lines. I'm not sure how tell it when I put text in the entry field and click the button to return the results in my lower frame. I have moved def loop_over_input to different parts of the code I think I may need to reference the test entry box and the button and the lower box.
I will post the complete code if requested to do so.

A: Firstly, you need to indent your code correctly. Everything that is in the function loop_over_input needs to be indented once more than the line def loop_over_input(the_str=''):
A few other notes. If you look up the documentation for the tkinter button, it will explain how to link a command to it. The piece of code you have supplied appears to be what you want the button command to be. Printing the list will do so in the shell, not in a frame below your entry field and button.
Here's some example code that should do what you want:
import tkinter as tk

# Creating tk window
window = tk.Tk()

# Master list
master_list = []
master_list_string = tk.StringVar()

# Frames
top_frame = tk.Frame(window)
top_frame.pack(expand = True, fill = 'x', pady = 10, padx = 10)
bottom_frame = tk.Frame(window)
bottom_frame.pack(expand = True, fill = 'both', padx = 10)

# Entry box
myEntry = tk.Entry(top_frame)
myEntry.pack(side = 'left',expand = True, fill = 'x', padx = 10)

# Label to display master list
myLabel = tk.Label(bottom_frame, textvariable = master_list_string)
myLabel.pack(expand = True, fill = 'both')

# Button to submit
def clicked():
    master_list.append(myEntry.get())
    myEntry.delete(0, 'end')
    printed_list = ''
    for password in master_list:
        printed_list += "\n" + password
    master_list_string.set(printed_list)
myButton = tk.Button(top_frame, text = "Submit", command = clicked)
myButton.pack(side = 'left', padx = 10)

# Mainloop
window.mainloop()

The two frames allow you to have the top section with your entry and button, while the bottom frame is for your output. However, you cannot just use a frame as your output, as your frame can't display text. Instead, use a Label widget linked to a StringVar which allows the text in the Label to update when the variable is changed.
The button command then takes the string entered into the entry, saves it to the master list and then sets the StringVar to the updated list, which automatically updates the Label.
I would highly recommend ready the documentation on Effbot, it's quite easy to understand with good examples. Link here

OAuth 2.0 is an industry-standard protocol for authorization.
Integrations and Connectors
AgilePoint NX integrates in these ways with OAuth 2.0:
You can create access tokens for OAuth 2.0.
An access token is a secure object that stores an endpoint (usually a URL) and authentication credentials to connect to a service or technology. Often this is an external or third-party service, like Salesforce or SharePoint, but access tokens can also connect to an AgilePoint NX enviornment, local database, or other types of technologies. Once an access token is created, app designers can simply select and reuse it, rather than entering the credentials each time they are needed.

There are two uses of the term "access token" for Oauth 2.0 in AgilePoint NX. This article refers to integration with the OAuth 2.0 protocol in general, which includes the AgilePoint NX access token that lets you connect to a REST service that uses a custom OAuth 2.0 authorization scheme. The other is the native use of "access token" for the OAuth 2.0 protocol, which represents an authenitcation credential. The AgilePoint access token for OAuth 2.0 includes the native OAuth 2.0 access token as part of its authentication credentials. Because these are two different uses of the term "access token" in relation to OAuth 2.0, these two concepts can be easily confused. For more information about the native use of "access token" in OAuth 2.0, refer to OAuth 2.0 access token.

Q: XSLT: move specific elements into new parent I have an problem moving specific elements from a collection into a new parent node. I know how to select these elements (here: root/order/person[position() > 1] for msxml) but can´t figure out the correct usage of xslt:copy or xslt:copy-of statements.
This is what i have (for example):
<root>
  <order>
    <person>
      ...
    </person>
    <person>
       ...
    </person>
    <person>
       ...
    </person>
  </order>
</root>

And I just want to put the person elements (1-n) each into a single order element:
<root>
  <order>
    <person>
      ...
    </person>
  </order>
  <order>
    <person>
      ...
    </person>
  </order>
  <order>
    <person>
      ...
    </person>
  </order>
</root>

I already achieved to delete the person elements except the first one from the order element. But now I am having trouble moving the remaining person elements into newly created order elements.

Either I am missing something here or you are making this more complicated than it needs to be. Try:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/root">
    <root>
        <xsl:for-each select="order/person">
            <order>
                <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
            </order>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </root>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

or:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<!-- skip order wrapper -->
<xsl:template match="order">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:template>

<!-- add order wrapper to each person -->
<xsl:template match="person">
    <order>
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </order>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

A: The way I would do this is to override the identity template (read up on how to do that). This makes the copying of input tree the default behaviour except for the bits you override.
<!-- import the identity template -->
<xsl:import href="identity.xsl"/>

<!-- this removes the original order element that wrapped the persons -->
<xsl:template match="order">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<!-- this creates an order element around each person. -->
<xsl:template match="person">
  <order>
    <!-- Because of the identity template override the old person element gets copied here -->
    <xsl:apply-imports/>
  </order>
</xsl:template>
