Q: Read access token that will be validated inside a JWT passport in nestjs I am building a nestjs back-end api server, and I'm using JWT to authenticate and validate user requests through passport strategies.
My question: I want to read the access token inside the validate function of JWT strategy.
Below: an example of my code
Note: my goal is to decode the access token and get the user agent I use to generate the token for an extra validation layer (to make sure the request is coming from the same device). If you have a better way, I would be happy to know it :)
    import { ExtractJwt, Strategy } from 'passport-jwt';
import { PassportStrategy } from '@nestjs/passport';
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';

@Injectable()
export class JwtStrategy extends PassportStrategy(Strategy) {
  constructor() {
    super({
      jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(),
      ignoreExpiration: false,
      secretOrKey: process.env.JWTSecret,
    });
  }

  async validate(payload: any) {

    //I want to read the access token that would be validated here
    return { userId: payload.sub, username: payload.username , useragent: payload.useragent};
  }
}

A: It turn out that I was not using the user agent in payload.
So to answer my own question and like @W.S said, you can use the payload to find all of the payload components.

Hello Chase Stream Farm Supporters! We hit the ground running and are continuing to move the ball closer to the goal line.
We've grown some fantastic veggies - cucumbers, zucchini, swiss chard, eggplant and are waiting for the red peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and squash to be ready for harvest. The hardest part thus far has been finding paying homes for this awesome harvest.
We're selling at a local farmers market, we've had a few restaurant orders, and are contributing to a local aggregator.
There are a lot of local farmers providing their harvest, and we missed out on "growers meetings" held during the winter. We're the outsiders trying to break in to an established industry. We've been learning a lot about food insecurity in Maine and the challenges of synching up producers with consumers! What we can't sell, we are donating to local soup kitchens and making value-added products like "Sweet n' Sassy Cucumber Relish"! All growing pains that we had expected.
We've become Regional Directors of MidCoast Maine members of the "United Veteran Farms of Maine" and are working to foster a sense of belonging and mutual support among the several veteran farms in our region.
4) Wiggle our way in to existing processes for providing veggies to various organizations, grocers, and restaurants.
7) Work with a production company who is doing a documentary on Veterans in Agriculture in Maine.
We have a lot of irons in the fire, with even more to come as we figure out how to become more diversified as we add livestock, orchards, syrup and honey production on to Chase Stream Farm.
Thank you all for your prayers, support, and encouragement as we continue to march forward toward this goal!

El actor austríaco, ganador de dos premios Oscar, Christoph Waltz se incorporá al rodaje de Bond 24 tras la negativa de Chiwetel Ejiofor al no llegar a un acuerdo con la productora. Se desconoce que papel interpretará Waltz en Bond 24, probablemente sea el villano con el que se enfrente Daniel Craig en su cuarto James Bond pero otras fuentes apuntan a un personaje ambiguo.
The Austrian actor, winner of two Oscars, Christoph Waltz joins the filming of Bond 24 after the refusal of Chiwetel Ejiofor to not reach an agreement with the producer. It is unknown what role Waltz plays in Bond 24, probably the villain Daniel Craig faces in his fourth James Bond but other sources point to an ambiguous character.


Hair provides insulation but also physical protection for the skin including protection from ultraviolet radiation. 'Guard' hair predominates while finer 'down' hair offers insulation, unless you're a Persian cat where down is prolific. Selective breeding has eliminated the protective, insulting downy coat from some breeds of cats and dogs. Yorkshire terriers for example have only about 100 hairs per square centimetre compared to the 500 hairs per square centimetre of Nordic dog breeds. There is a similar although not as dramatic difference between the Siamese and Persian coats.
Hair grows from its follicles in cycles consisting of a rapid growth phase (anagen phase), followed by a long resting stage (catagen phase). Inevitably for most dogs and cats, shedding (telogen phase) follows. Hair detaches from its anchor in the hair follicle. Licking, rubbing, rolling or grooming remove the loosened hair. The hair's growth cycle is partly affected by the surrounding temperature a pet lives in, (eg always indoors or indoors and outdoors), but more so by increasing or decreasing daylight. Body hormones, nutrition, stress and genetic factors also influence hair growth and shedding. As we see each day, pets drop their hair when they are stressed, which is why they leave so much of it on our examining tables. The state of your pet's coat is an excellent reflection of its general health.


Q: Am I still within the time limits to refile an auto negligence case that was dismissed WOP 6/23/2015?
You must file an action for auto negligence within two years after "the cause of action shall have accrued."
In an auto negligence case, the cause of action, generally begins to "accrue" on the date of the auto accident.
Because this case was dismissed almost four years ago, it appears you are out of time.
Q: Was in accident, not at fault, Oklahoma, onstar sent fire department who then billed me, so Do I have to pay?
I assume you contacted cops. Talk to a member of the OK assn for justice--they give free consults.
Q: Hit a pig on a state highway. What can I do about my car damage? Livestock owner said the 2 pigs escaped fence.
Get an estimate and have it paid for by farmer or his insurance. Or if you have collision run it through yours and they can,,,,, call farmers (as it were)(sorry).
If you were injured, contact a member of the Oklahoma Assn for Justice--they give free consults.
Q: If sued in an OK civil case, what assets can be attached?
If you have insurance, you are hopefully protected. If you don't, then you need to get a consultation from an attorney in your area who handles bankruptcies, which would be a protection for you. You may not need it as in some states marital jointly held property is immune from seizure.
Q: My mom flipped her truck which has 2 air bags and neither of them deployed. They used the jaws of life.
Don't accept the deal. It's not fair, especially for your girls. See an experienced personal injury lawyer to talk about this.
You should consult an experienced Personal Injury Law Attorney, in your area, for help with this problem. Statistics prove that a person represented by an attorney receive far higher settlements than those on their own.
If a suit is filed, they would be entitled to see your medical records.
There are a number of steps but first contact a member of the Okl Justice Assn--they give free consults. Get a copy of your policy. There are other steps after that. If you have collision run the damage through that and let them hassle the guy. If not, send a note to him that if he doesn't show insurance you will contact the state. Let the cop know that the person had no insurance--make a copy of the letter stating no coverage.
Q: Fiancée was middle car in hit and run. Now the woman in front of her is suing my fiancée for damages, medical expenses.
You have described a very weak case, but of course anyone can file a lawsuit. Make certain that your fiancé has reported the lawsuit to her insurer who will protect her interest assuming she has liability coverage. This is one of those instances where it is said that this is a reason we have automobile insurance coverage, particularly like this case where the liability and damages are so remote, doubtful.
Well worth your getting at least a consult with an attorney who handles criminal cases as the potential charges are serious even if the policeman acted wrongly.
Take photos of height of the truck. Take photos of height specified at garage. Send estimates and demand for payment to insurance company of garage. They don't pay, file complaint with the insurance commissioner of OK &/or the state AG office of consumer protection. That does no good file in small claims.
Q: I was a passeger in a two car collision who suffered a stroke. What do I do?
Talk to another lawyer. I'd handle the case if you were in Pa. Contact a member of the Okla Assn for Justice--they give free consults. I don't know what this guy was talking about--most insurers will fight you over 3k, let alone 25k.
However liability is an issue--if someone has a stroke but didn't know of the condition and it came out of nowhere, it is a "sudden emergency " and they may not pay. Avoid discussing your injuries with them.
Q: My case was filed 10/2016, liab accept but case haven't completed. Should I be worried? Is this normal?
Depends on the nature of your injury. It's only been less than a year, and if they are arguing you had a preexisting condition--as they do in nearly every case short of amputation--yes, that can take that long.I'm assuming you have an attorney. If not you need to get one.

TOWARD TOTAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY
ZERO IN 10 EXHIBIT
A quiet revolution in architectural design has occurred in Utah over the past 10 years, as architects have pushed building design from achieving "energy efficiency" to "net zero carbon". Many architects recognize that buildings consume nearly half of all energy produced in the U.S. and feel a responsibility to lower that impact to reduce carbon emissions, save money and preserve resources for the future.
A new exhibit shows how one architectural firm tackled this challenge over the past 10 years. (See exhibit below.)
Architect David Brems, FAIA, design director for GSBS Architects, has championed environmentally-responsible design throughout his career. An exhibit featuring the firm's work from the Olympic Winter Games Speed Skating Oval—one of the first LEED-certified buildings in the world, to Salt Lake City's new Public Safety Building, designed to achieve net zero carbon, is on display at the Alta Club. Called "Zero in 10", the exhibit also features key images from the "Physical Fitness of Cities" exhibition created as part of the Cultural Olympiad in Salt Lake City ten years ago.
"The exhibit illustrates our commitment to sustainability in architecture and shows the way these buildings make our communities more humane, livable and enjoyable," said Brems.
Stephen Goldsmith, Associate Professor in the Department of City and Metropolitan Planning at the University of Utah, partnered with Brems to create the exhibit. He was Planning Director for Salt Lake City at the time of the Olympic Winter Games and created the "FitCities" exhibit as it was dubbed.
"This new exhibit shows the incredible advances of the past ten years and what we can expect in another decade," he said.
The public can view the exhibit by calling the Alta Club at least 24 hours in advance to make arrangements, 801-322-1081.
UCFA is a sponsor for the exhibit along with the Alta Club and the University of Utah College of Architecture + Planning.
Utah Olympic Oval
EXHIBIT: ZERO IN 10
Cities in Utah and around the world are becoming more "fit". They provide more ways for people to get to where they want to go. They invite people to walk or bike with safer and more pleasant routes. They foster neighborhood development as ecosystems of businesses and services tailored to community needs. They develop buildings that let in natural light and fresh air, and use far less energy–in fact, may return energy to the grid. They find abundant ways to clean and use water where it falls. They set aside places for people to plant gardens and create public art.
This exhibit displays some examples from around the world—some extraordinary in form, some quite simple but no less significant in the way they make cities more humane, life-supporting and enjoyable.
In Utah, the opportunity to host the 2002 Olympic Winter Games transformed "green architecture"—a significant component of a fit city–from a niche interest to the mainstream standard for public buildings. Utah, long a backwater of architectural innovation, became a world leader, promoting advanced design thinking. As one of the first LEED-certified* buildings in the world, the Utah Olympic Speed Skating Oval defined sustainable design at that time. During this decade, Salt Lake City's Public Safety Building may well set the next high bar if it achieves "net zero" energy use as designed. Each of these ground-breaking buildings was designed by GSBS Architects and reflects the passion for environmental responsibility by the firm's design director, David Brems, FAIA, LEED.
Brems' major projects offer a lens through which this quiet revolution in sustainable design can be seen in Utah. These buildings exemplify design excellence while pushing the boundaries of sustainable design. Along with GSBS Architects, a growing number of architectural firms, in partnership with innovative engineers and landscape architects, are designing the next generation of "green buildings" and contributing to the development of FitCities in Utah.
In 1998, the Salt Lake Olympic Committee formed a Sustainable Facilities Committee for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games. Architect David Brems, FAIA, chaired the committee and assembled a distinguished group of design professionals to create the first ever sustainability guidelines for Game venues. The 2002 Winter Games would become the first Olympics to measure environmental responsibility with wide-ranging design metrics. The International Olympic Committee, the United States Olympic Committee and the Salt Lake Organizing Committee embraced this direction. With sustainability a high-profile Olympics standard, public and private owners began to support green design metrics in other new facilities. Out of a chaos of various standards, the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED building rating system emerged during the decade as the accepted way to measure sustainable design in Utah.
LEED certified buildings have measurable energy and water efficiencies, healthy indoor air quality, may be built from recycled and local materials, enjoy more natural light indoors, often link with public transit and trails, and promote the health and well-being of their occupants. It is now the preeminent measure of sustainable design with nearly nine billion square feet of building space participating in the various rating systems and 1.6 million feet certifying per day around the world. As a LEED pilot project, the Olympic Oval contributed to the establishment of LEED requirements for measuring building performance and provided an example and new benchmark for performance in Utah.
Today, the new benchmark is achieving net zero architecture——ultra-low energy use buildings that also produce energy to meet operational needs, thus reducing their carbon footprint to zero. The Salt Lake City Public Safety Building featured in this exhibit will be the first of its type in the world to achieve net zero.
*LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Created by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED rating systems provide "a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, and maintenance solutions." http://www.usgbc.org/DisplayPage.aspx?CMSPageID=1988
Utah Olympic Oval Interior
The overriding goal for the Utah Olympic Oval was to create "the fastest ice on earth" within a very tight budget.
In addition, the Salt Lake Olympic Committee authorized the Utah Olympic Oval to attempt LEED Certification, submitting the design to a rigorous system of sustainability metrics created by the United States Green Building Council. The Oval became one of 13 pilot buildings in the world to become LEED Certified. Pioneering an integrated design process, the stakeholders worked together as a team to relentlessly drive the design to meet the goals.
As it turned out, the process of making the building environmentally responsible was critical to achieving what has been dubbed, "the world's fastest ice." Similar to a racing sailboat, the oval enclosure and ice slab can be fine-tuned for every skating distance, humidity, ice temperature, and air temperature for optimal performance. An incredible ten Olympic records and eight world records have been achieved under that roof. Is a building beautiful if it can't achieve its function?
Since the LEED pilot projects including the Olympic Oval, the LEED rating system has become the preeminent measure of sustainable design with nearly nine billion square feet of building space participating in the various rating systems and 1.6 million feet certifying per day around the world.
Emigration Canyon House
Perched on a difficult site that offers dramatic views, this family home provides year-round comfort at very little cost in dollars and environmental impact thanks to high performance design. The house incorporates passive solar heating, passive ventilation, heat exchange, day lighting, radiant heat/cool floor, xeriscape, low water use fixtures and high indoor air quality. The house will support solar thermal and photovoltaic arrays. Net Zero is currently achieved off site with renewable energy credits. The design wraps around a large, informal kitchen and every room captures a canyon view, connecting family members with the outdoors. The home is low maintenance, fire and earthquake resistant, and designed to last many decades.
Hillside Middle School
Students in classrooms with abundant natural light and views learn more–much more. The variability of natural light, time of day, weather change, seasonal sun angles signals our brains to be alert and pay attention: change is occurring. Staring out the window is a good thing. Relax the eye with a long distance view, see the beauty of our place, catch a bird in flight, see real life occur, all give small pauses, allowing ideas to assemble and creativity to occur. All the things that make a building green also make it a great place to learn. Green schools set examples that make students proud–examples they will follow throughout their lives including respecting our environment, recycling, conserving energy, and being more considerate.
Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies, Oberlin College
Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies
Described by The New York Times as 'the most remarkable of a new generation of college buildings' and by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of the 30 'milestone' buildings of the 20th century, William McDonough + Partners' design for The Lewis Center aspires to be as bountiful and effective as a tree. The building operates on three fundamental principles of nature—eliminate the concept of waste, rely on natural energy flows, and honor diversity. Day lighting and natural ventilation enhance the atrium's feeling of an outdoor room, as well as its role and the building's physical and social center. In 2006, the site became a net energy exporter, producing 30 percent more energy than it needs to operate and sharing this excess energy with the community.
AIA Utah Office
This small office in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City serves as the headquarters for the American Institute of Architects, Utah Chapter. The office is designed to achieve LEED Platinum and incorporates natural daylight as the primary source of light. Heating, cooling and LED lighting are controlled through sensors for maximum energy efficiency and comfort. The built-in reception desk is comprised of recycled trestle wood from a former Great Salt Lake railroad track.
Jordan Valley Water Conservation District Education Center
Jordan Valley Water Conservation Education Center
The JVWCD Education Center is Salt Lake Valley's place for water conservation education. The LEED Platinum Building is a stunning example of sustainable design excellence with unique details like a rammed earth tromb wall that absorbs heat in the working greenhouse, which is then redistributed to the classroom spaces. This high performance building serves as the public entry to the District's Conservation Gardens that demonstrate the beauty and variety of low-water, drought-tolerant native landscapes. The Education Center incorporates passive solar heating, solar PV and solar thermal arrays, geothermal heating and cooling systems, and radiant slabs.
Goodson Residence
This contemporary, red sandstone home fits agreeably into its established Millcreek neighborhood. Designed for a large Utah family, the Goodson residence achieves Net Zero through low energy use strategies, incorporating passive solar design, natural ventilation, a geothermal heating and cooling system, a high performance envelope, non-toxic indoor materials and low water use.
Streetcar, Portland, Oregon
Streetcar – Portland, OR
Before the National City Lines conspiracy led to the destruction of streetcar systems in 45 U.S. cities, transit mobility in our cities contributed to cleaner air, healthier citizens and economic equity for working class Americans who couldn't afford or didn't want a car. In Salt Lake City, 147 miles of track supported one of the greenest transit systems in the country, since the hydroelectric plant named The Stairs Plant in Big Cottonwood Canyon generated much of its electricity. Today we're seeing a resurgence of streetcar lines throughout the country, with 40 cities looking to streetcars as an economic development strategy. Among these cities is Salt Lake City, whose partnership with South Salt Lake and the Utah Transit Authority will have a new line, the Sugar House Streetcar, operational in 2014.
Center for Advanced Energy Studies
Idaho National Laboratory established the Center for Advanced Energy Studies in 2005. CAES is a partnership of the U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho State University, University of Idaho and Boise State University. The Center is high level LEED Gold (one point below Platinum), incorporating day lighting systems for public atrium spaces and all open offices. The site utilizes bio swales to collect surface runoff, diverting it to plantings to filter out hazardous salts and oils. Perched above the Snake River, the site allows for relaxing and mind-regenerating walks. The laboratories enjoy long views of farms and the Teton Mountains.
Natural History Museum of Utah
The new Natural History Museum of Utah is a trailhead to Utah. The NHMU, whose mission is to illuminate the natural world and humans' place within it, houses a collection of 1.2 million precious and fragile objects. The NHMU includes Permanent and Temporary exhibits, Administration, Research, Collection Storage, public and student visitors, summer camps, workshops, café, retail store and is a venue for many events. The building will be LEED Gold Certified with a photovoltaic array.
Boulder Shack
A retreat in Boulder, Utah designed to provide compact luxury and comfort for a small family, allows privacy without sacrificing a sense of openness in an economical 692 square feet. Plentiful outdoor rooms celebrate the beauty of the place while providing sufficient shelter for extended family and friends. It sits lightly on the land with its adaptable post and beam construction and recycled building materials. The family lowers its already small electric bill by using LED lights and Energy Star appliances. The passive solar design, augmented by a geothermal system, handles the heating and cooling. The retreat achieves Net Zero with 2 kW of photovoltaic power (PV) on site and by purchasing local hydro power. The design is a tribute to the early Utah ranch houses and out buildings.
University of Utah College of Architecture and Planning
College of Architecture + Planning, University of Utah
Constructed in 1970, the Edwards and Daniels Architects' design of the CA+P was highly acclaimed, Modernist Architecture. The midcentury building is a raw statement of purpose, an exposed example to teach architectural students about essential form and function. Many buildings designed during this era when energy was cheap are now being lost because of high operating costs, mechanical and electrical inefficiencies and poor comfort. The CA+P building has become one of the least efficient buildings on the U of U Campus.
A group of Salt Lake Architecture firms, mostly CA+P graduates, students and faculty, led by Dean Brenda Sheer, AIA, FAICP are studying the building, planning to save it and take it all the way to Net Zero, continuing its role as a teacher to architecture and planning students. GSBS Architects, working with the National Renewable Energy Lab, has created an energy model to guide the testing and implementation of energy conservation measures to make the CA+P the most energy efficient building on the U of U Campus.
Salt Lake City Public Safety Building
Public Safety Building (rendering)
Salt Lake City has become one of the greenest cities in the United States thanks to the early efforts of past Mayor Rocky Anderson and Planning Director Stephen Goldsmith. Mayor Ralph Becker announced in his first term bold plans of achieving Net Zero for all city facilities, beginning with the Public Safety Building.
Public Safety Building Interior (rendering)
Mayor Becker's vision is to add renewable energy where possible and provide a large array at the city landfill where methane harvesting is ongoing and a substation can distribute the energy.
The Salt Lake City Public Safety Building will be home to Police and Fire Administration, Salt Lake City's data center, 911 Call Dispatch, Emergency Operations Center, Public Safety Museum, Fire Prevention Bureau and Multi-purpose public meeting rooms. The urban design of the PSB site connects through Library Square to the historic City and County Building and anticipates future mixed-use developments to the east along the mid block axis.
This unique building is designed to survive a 7.5 Richter earthquake and be immediately occupied as a self-sufficient command center. The Net Zero building is powered by solar thermal (hot water) and solar electric (PV) arrays to achieve Net Zero Carbon. The renewable energy sources will be valuable in a dire emergency when they will provide electric power and hot water to the occupants of the building working around the clock under great stress, deploying resources to solve the problems of a disaster.
Fulda Bridge, Kassel, Germany
This pedestrian bridge links two very different parts of the historic district of Kassel. The western bank of the Fulda River is the heart of the city and features a castle and medieval buildings. The neglected eastern bank was underdeveloped and used primarily for festivals and parking. This bridge contributed to the revitalization of the western riverbank as a livable, positive space. Its simplicity and elegance, its bold modesty allows it to blend into the landscape as though it grows from it, rather than placed over its surroundings. Designed by the young architect Brigitte Kochta, her bridge was selected during an international design competition conducted in Kassel. This example of how solutions grow from place was included in the FitCities exhibition during the 2002 Winter Olympics.
The exhibit, now showing at the Alta Club in Salt Lake City, will close September 3.

Model Karlie Kloss made her way into Heathrow Airport in London, England, to catch a flight after attending the Glamour Awards. I wonder where all of her luggage is? Unless one of her friends had it?
Karlie wore a pair of J Brand Maria High Rise Super Skinny Jeans in Vanity with a cream festive sweater and some Adidas sneakers. I think this type of outfit is ideal for travelling in and it looks put together as much as it does comfortable and easy.
I think the J Brand Maria has got to be the brand's most popular cuts now as we see absolutely everyone in it. It's one of the most perfect high rise skinny jeans, although I am hoping for more cropped versions this summer! They come with a standard inseam of around 30″ and although it looks cropped on Karlie as she's over 6ft tall, on me, I have to cuff them and tuck them under. I own the Dove grey and it's absolutely stunning! Are you also a fan of the J Brand Maria?

IIM-A to rethink over linking incentives with performance
In 2012, the institute had initiated a new system of setting targets, assigning scores and offering incentives based on the scores for teaching and non-teaching activities
Vinay Umarji | Ahmedabad Last Updated at January 19, 2014 21:41 IST
CAT candidates confused over scores
New IIMs set admission cut-off at 96.82 percentile
110 firms make 378 offers to IIM-A students for summer placements
Relief for PGDM Institutions: AICTE to regulate them
Boys rule CAT results
Even as it completes two years, the performance management system (PMS) launched by the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) might see an overhaul.
According to institute sources, the system that assigns scores to faculty members on their teaching and non-teaching activities including research and administration may see changes in its linkage with incentives.
"There have been both positive and negative feedback on the monetary benefits linked with the scores. Hence, the institute will rethink over the same for the next academic year. The extent of incentives linked with the scores will either be changed or may be done away with," said an institute source close to the development.
It needs to be mentioned here that in 2012, the institute had initiated a new system of setting targets, assigning scores and offering incentives based on the scores for teaching and non-teaching activities including research, consultation and administration work.
What's more, following suit, other IIMs including Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, Trichy and Udaipur have initiated various systems to measure their faculty's performance.
At the Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (IIM-L) , for instance, faculty members' salaries would now carry a variable pay based on targets achieved such as number of research papers, number of teaching hours and quality of teaching methods as well as participation in consulting projects, among others.
However, the institute had received mixed reviews from faculty, wherein most of the faculty members had expressed worry over how much of each activity needs to be finished and the amount of incentive linked with it.
According to faculty members, while it was a good thing to aggregate my scores, the downside was the stress that comes from wanting to know how much score one has earned. Hence, a faculty could get tense over how much of each activity has he finished and how much incentive is he liable for.
It has also been perceived that Indian academicians as compared to their western counterparts are more inclined towards teaching than research, and hence, such a system would add additional pressure on them.
However, at some of the institutes, faculty members had decided to draw a three year plan for themselves.
"We decided that a faculty member may be allowed to chose their mix and declare it for the next three years. What we have noticed is that when people declare their plans, sheer peer pressure makes them work to achieve it. No one else needs to judge them. Everyone's given a three year plan and it is working quite well," Ajit Balakrishnan, founder, chairman and CEO, Rediff.com and Chairperson, IIM Calcutta had told Business Standard earlier.
Sometime back, in their recent meeting with the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), the latter had also sought details on how the premier B-schools were going about such a system.
Meanwhile, some of the IIMs are of the view that faculty members should be freed from administration work. "Faculty members are also involved in admission, placements and other administration work. Why should faculty do that? At IIM Udaipur, therefore, we don't have faculty doing administration work, though they merely oversee it," said directors of one of the IIMs.

Making music with a hybrid AI-human workflow (AI Song Contest 2021)
We built a hybrid AI-human workflow and then produced a song that won the popular vote in the international AI Song Contest 2021, as well obtained a mention in the New York Times and the 11th overall place in the contest.
As part of a large multi-disciplinary team of artists and engineers, I was in charge of creating the hybrid AI-human workflow with MusicVAE, Google Magenta and other transformer-based models. Our goal was creating tools that were easy to use for our musicians to interact with, and iteratively create the song at every layer, from sounds, chord progressions, structure and arrangement.
Some work that didn't make it in the final release involved a way to use evolutionary computation to mutate and recombine melodies and chords in latent space, which led to very natural-sounding phenotypes compared to applying random mutatons to the latent space.

Home » 3-D Printing Gets a Turbo Boost From U-M Technology
3-D Printing Gets a Turbo Boost From U-M Technology
Jim Lynch | The University of Michigan – College of Engineering | www.umich.edu/news
ANN ARBOR — A major drawback to 3-D printing — the slow pace of the work — could be alleviated through a software algorithm developed at the University of Michigan. The algorithm allows printers to deliver high-quality results at speeds up to two times faster than those in common use, with no added hardware costs.
One of the challenges for today's 3-D printers lies in vibrations caused as they work. A printer's movable parts, particularly in lightweight desktop models, cause vibrations that reduce the quality of the item being produced. And the faster the machine moves, the more vibrations are created.
"Armed with knowledge of the printer's dynamic behavior, the program anticipates when the printer may vibrate excessively and adjusts its motions accordingly," said Chinedum Okwudire, associate professor of mechanical engineering who directs U-M's Smart and Sustainable Automation Research Lab. To ensure details are reproduced accurately, the machines are operated slowly. And the pace of 3-D printing is one of the factors that has prevented the technology finding a broader audience.
Okwudire cited statements made last year by one 3-D printing company executive about the issues holding the industry back.
"We're just waiting for the next evolution of the technology," Simon Shen, CEO of XYZPrinting, told TechCrunch last year. "If they can do it much faster, more precise and easier, that will bring more people to 3-D printers. Not waiting for four to six hours for a print, but 40 to 60 minutes."
New 3D printing algorithms developed by University of Michigan researchers allow for much faster print times while retaining accuracy. (Video courtesy of Evan Dougherty, Michigan Engineering)
In explaining how his algorithm works, he uses the example of someone trying to deliver a speech in a large hall. To reach ears in the farthest rows, that speaker will have to shout.
Should someone produce a megaphone, and the speaker still continues to shout, their voice will be overly amplified and cause the audience to squirm. Using the megaphone in a normal voice, however, produces the right clarity and volume.
"Our software is like that person who realizes their voice is going to be overly amplified," Okwudire said. "It acts preemptively because it knows that the behavior of the printer is going to be ahead of time.
"Eventually, one of the places we would want to see the algorithm applied is in the firmware—the software that runs on the printer itself. That way, it will be integrated with the printers, regardless of the size."
Molong Duon and Deokkyun Yoon, both mechanical engineering PhD students, and Chinedum Okwudire, associate professor in mechanical engineering, examine the effectiveness of their new, faster 3D printing algorithm. (Photo courtesy of Evan Dougherty, Michigan Engineering)
Okwudire said his software can also be used on a variety of industrial-grade machines that suffer from similar limitations due to vibrations.
The journal Mechatronics recently published the lab's findings in a study titled: "A limited-preview filtered B-spline approach to tracking control—With application to vibration-induced error compensation of a 3-D printer."
On the bottom, excess vibrations from the 3-D printer caused the printhead to offset multiple times. On the top, the new U-M algorithm was applied to the printer, enabling a successful, fast print. Both U.S. Capitol replicas were printed on a HICTOP Prusa i3 3-D printer at ~2X speed. (Photo courtesy of Evan Dougherty, Michigan Engineering)
Our current research largely focuses on improving the energy efficiency, cost effectiveness, accuracy and speed of precision and ultra-precision motion delivery systems by optimizing their mechanical, controller and software components integrally. Application areas include high-speed machine tools, wafer scanners, 3D printers, robots and precision measurement devices. Our research is also finding applications in the automotive industry and in low-resource settings. Visit our research page to find out more.

Home Composers Santisteban, Alfonso Killing of the Dolls / Necrophagus
Killing of the Dolls / Necrophagus
Alfonso Santisteban
SKU: QR296 Categories: CD, Santisteban, Alfonso
Quartet Records presents a double-bill of Spanish horror cult-films directed by Michael Skaife, both featuring original scores by Alfonso Santisteban.
El asesino de muñecas (Killing of the Dolls) (1975) is a rarity—a "giallo" in Spanish cinema of the early '70s. It is far removed from the usual fantasy/terror films of those years because it plays with an eroticism centered on its male protagonist, rather than the more common spotlight on female exhibitionism. Alfonso Santisteban provides a cool score, an undiscovered masterpiece, with a powerful, funky main theme (its sound halfway between scores for the popular Italian giallo and polizziesco genres), as well as a beautiful love theme, dynamic suspense music and Baroque pop!
Necrophagus (aka The Butcher of Binbrook) (1971) was Skeife's first film, and it stands out among the numerous Spanish fantasy/terror films of those years, surprising in its absence of eroticism, and in its brief scenes that construct a dark, intriguing puzzle halfway between Gothic tales and Latin American telenovelas. Santisteban provides an intense musical experience featuring both tonal and atonal passages, with a strong focus on certain instruments such as harpsichord, organ and harmonica, in a score that mimics the sound of some Hammer films.
This is the first release of both scores in any form. The CD was mastered by Nicolás Tsabertidis from original master tapes. The package includes a 12-page booklet with liner notes by Juan Sánchez that discuss the films, the scores and the composers. This release is strictly limited to 300 units.

Chris Cuomo Allegedly Gearing Up To Sue CNN Over $6 Million-A-Year Contract Following Termination
By:Bernie Zilio
Dec. 6 2021, Published 5:23 p.m. ET
Chris Cuomo is apparently not willing to go down without a fight.
The 51-year-old recently terminated CNN news anchor is gearing up to sue the network over his contract, sources familiar with the situation told The New York Post on Monday.
Insiders say Chris has already hired a legal team and is preparing to file a massive lawsuit against his former employer if it does not honor the remainder of the four-year contract he signed in 2020.
The deal is reportedly worth $6 million per year.
But CNN has "no intention of paying [Chris] Cuomo a penny," a source told the outlet. "If he gets a settlement, there would be uproar."
Another insider pointed out the network "has a standard morality clause in their contract that says if the employee does anything of disrepute, they can be immediately fired."
Chris' purported legal threats come amid a bitter back-and-forth about what exactly CNN executives knew regarding his secret efforts to aid his embattled brother, then-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
The former Cuomo Prime Time host was officially ousted Saturday, only four days after being put on indefinite suspension over information that was revealed by state Attorney General Letitia James.
James spearheaded an investigation into the numerous sexual harassment allegations that forced Andrew to resign back in August, and the resulting report accused Chris of using his position and contacts to help cover up the scandal.
CNN announced Chris' firing, revealing executives had discovered documents that pointed to the journalist's "greater level of involvement in his brother's efforts than we previously knew." They accused him of contacting "sources" about planned news reports regarding Andrew's misdeeds and trying to dig up dirt on at least one of his brother's accusers.
"Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother's defense," CNN said in a statement. "We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately."
The network added, "While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate."
That statement was made right before news broke that Chris was also being investigated for accusations of sexual misconduct made by an anonymous former female colleague.
Regarding the new allegation, his spokesperson insisted that "these apparently anonymous allegations are not true."
Regarding what led to his termination, the rep told The Wall Street Journal that CNN President Jeff Zucker knew "about the details of Mr. Cuomo's support for his brother" and that "there were no secrets about this, as other individuals besides Mr. Cuomo can attest."
CNN blasted its ex-host for the remark, saying in a statement, "He has made a number of accusations that are patently false. This reinforces why he was terminated for violating our standards and practices, as well as his lack of candor."
On Monday, a network insider told The Post that Chris' claims were "absurd" and "patently untrue."
"If Jeff had known all along, Chris would have been fired earlier, not suspended," said the source. "He lied to us."

Senate Finance Committee member Richard Burr (R-NC), challenged in his re-election bid by Democrat Deborah Ross, in an Aug. 12 Twitter post asked his opponent to speak out against the TPP.

Biden Administration May Roll Back Some Crypto Regulations, Top Banking Regulator Warns
December 26, 2020 Bitcoin News, IFTTT
The top U.S. banking regulator is concerned that the Biden administration may roll back some cryptocurrency regulations aimed at protecting consumers. This includes allowing national banks to custody crypto assets put in place during the Trump administration.
Biden Administration Could Change US Crypto Regulations
Acting Comptroller of the Currency, Brian Brooks, shared several concerns regarding cryptocurrency regulations in an interview with CNBC last week.
Brooks is the administrator of the federal banking system and chief officer of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The OCC supervises almost 1,200 national banks, federal savings associations, and federal branches of foreign banks.
He was asked to comment about the recent bitcoin bull run from the regulatory viewpoint. Brooks replied:
I will tell you what I am worried about is all of this is happening in the environment where we are about to have a change of presidential administration, and there are calls on Capitol Hill to dismantle some of the regulatory protections we put in place for this stuff.
The OCC green-lighted banks under its supervision to provide cryptocurrency custody services in July. Brooks explained that his agency "is trying to make it safer for people to custody in national banks." He added: "We've talked about banks supporting some of these stablecoin projects. If those protections aren't in place, I really worry about the environments for these kinds of things. That's what I'm most focused on. How do we preserve the safety for the people who participate in that market."
He noted that "We are at a really critical inflection point right now is what I'd tell you. It's kind of a fork in the road." He proceeded to outline two paths for crypto regulation. "One path forward is that we find ways of addressing money laundering risks and we find ways of addressing terrorism financing which I think can be done. But we make this safe for the consumers and investors who participate, that's why the banking system has such an important role to play," he asserted, adding:
The other path which is a very real potential here is that we politicize some of these tech issues, whether it's crypto or fintech more broadly. We politicizing it by undoing all of the good work this administration has done to make it safer, to make it more real.
Brooks then referenced the letter by Congresswoman Maxine Waters urging the Biden administration to roll back some of the regulations the OCC put in place. Among the recommendations was rescinding allowing national banks and federal savings associations to provide crypto custody services. Regarding the suggestions Waters put forth in her letter, Brooks said, "If we do those things, then I'm not sure we have enough of a foundation to move forward. It's all about consolidating regulatory gains and consumer protection that we are trying to put in place. That's got to stick around."
He further detailed that "The role of the government is to make sure that markets are well-regulated and well-organized so that people who are transacting know that they are transacting with good people and not bad people." He emphasized, "Part of that means that, as in any financial markets, there has to be tracing and no anonymity."
The acting comptroller of the currency clarified that people who hold cryptocurrencies need to know that they are not going to lose them. "That's why it's important to people that they be able to custody their assets in a bank, for example, the same way you might custody your stock certificates or any other assets that you own," Brooks opined.
"This is a real political debate right now," Brooks noted, emphasizing:
People may not realize this but there's leadership in Congress who's urging the incoming Biden administration to roll back some of those protections. I think, in the name of politics not in the name of protecting investors.
Recently, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) proposed new regulation for cryptocurrency wallets. Public comments can be submitted before Jan. 4. Meanwhile, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is taking action against a number of crypto firms for selling unregistered securities, including Ripple Labs.

Q: AMQP (rabbitmq) identify origin of bad message What is the best way to identify the origin of a (bad) AMQP message in rabbitmq?
The scenario is several clients posts messages to a server which if successful result in messages posted to a fanout exchange (for pub/sub use).
The client is also a subscriber to this queue and does not have a reply queue of its own.
If the server decides a message is invalid it nacks and discards it.
There are two additional things we want:

*

*to publish a message which either the client or a monitoring system might be used to say "stop sending me garbage"

*to log diagnostics about bad messages

What is an appropriate strategy for this?
Which header fields are appropriate for identifying the originator of a message?
Are they any other considerations?
The appid header field can identify the sending application but it is not sufficient by itself as there could be multiple instances on one or more machines.
A bad client could perhaps use the messageid to identify messages it sent (can this be assigned or accessed by the client).
A monitoring system (e.g. prometheus+kubernetes) would need more to try and kill the bad client process for example.
I'm assuming an appropriate approach is to require clients to set certain header fields.
Secondary to that what can we do for clients that fail don't meet our requirements there?

A: I have limited experience with AMQP so please improve on this if you can
It is sufficient to use host+pid to identify a process
The appid is free form so one approach might be to include more than just the application Id in it. e.g.
appid: applicationid.serverip.pid

This might seem like stretching the semantics of "app id" but app_id is entirely application defined.
An application can identify itself with the "app id" with a simple string comparison.
arbitrary key values are permitted on top of the basic properties so you could instead/as well add properties like:
origin-host: serverip
origin-pid: pid

This may require a small additional programming effort over using 'builtin' fields like app_id. There is also a small 'over the wire' cost associated with this (custom properties are serialized as positional arguments in message header instead of associative array to save bandwidth).
There may be a trade off with this versus decoding the string in the appid field.
You could also set up dead letter exchanges to hold the messages themselves but the messages would require operator intervention to make use of. So I think this would only help with diagnostics.
