A: Utlimately the condition you define is executed as a Groovy script by Janino. Something like this:
  String script = "public boolean evaluate() { return \"test\".equals(\"test\"); }";

  ClassBodyEvaluator classBodyEvaluator = new ClassBodyEvaluator();
  classBodyEvaluator.setImplementedInterfaces(new Class[] { Condition.class });
  classBodyEvaluator.setExtendedClass(PropertyWrapperForScripts.class);
  classBodyEvaluator.setParentClassLoader(ClassBodyEvaluator.class.getClassLoader());

  StringReader sr = new StringReader(script);
  classBodyEvaluator.cook(null, sr);
  Class clazz = classBodyEvaluator.getClazz();
  Condition instance = (Condition) clazz.newInstance();

So, you just need to ensure that the value of the condition (which is substituted into the script) has quoted strings i.e. "...". But since you are defining the condition in XML you must escape the quotes, like so:
<if condition=""test".equals("test")">

This will produce a script:
public boolean evaluate() { return "test".equals("test"); }

... for execution by ch.qos.logback.core.joran.conditional.PropertyEvalScriptBuilder.
I have verified this as follows ...
<if condition=""test".equals("test")">
    <then>
        <property name="conditionalValue" value="Conditional value is true"/>
    </then>
    <else>
        <property name="conditionalValue" value="Conditional value is false"/>

... and a log event written by this appender looks like:

Meet a Strategist: 3EDGE
Evan HarpDec 16, 2022
Meet a Strategist is a feature where Evan Harp talks to different strategists about how their firms are responding to the current moment. This week, he sat down with 3EDGE managing partner and chief investment strategist Fritz Folts.
Evan Harp: What's keeping your clients up at night?
Fritz Folts: That's a great question. I would say, in general, everything that has transpired this past year has reintroduced investors to investment risk. Since the financial crisis, we went through this very long period where it seemed like the S&P 500 only went up. We had very easy monetary policy, low inflation, and low interest rates. But now, in 2022, all of that has changed.
Investors are now confronted with a rapid rise in inflation, rising interest rates, and tightening monetary policy — and that's a challenging environment. I think what really took people by surprise this year is that, based on the fact that we had this spike in inflation and rising interest rates, their bond portfolios didn't help them. That's traditionally what happens: You rely on your bond portfolio to help you during periods when the equity markets decline. But that wasn't the case this year. In fact, I think this year was the worst year of investment performance for a traditional 60/40 portfolio in decades. So, I think it's a compilation of things that have made 2022 challenging and continue to have investors on edge. There is just a heightened level of uncertainty.
Harp: Do you have any recent changes in your allocations?
Folts: Based on our model research, we have been positioned defensively throughout this year. Even after the correction in the S&P 500 thus far in 2022, it is still significantly overvalued by our measure.
However, our research also indicates that other equity markets are significantly undervalued at this point, including the ex-U.S. equity markets. The Fed is rapidly and aggressively tightening monetary policy; when they do that, you see the dollar's value rise. And, as we know, emerging market countries and equities tend to struggle under strong dollar regimes. However, now that the Fed is expected to at least slow the pace of tightening, we have seen a pause in the rally in the dollar. We think this could continue, and we believe this could be supportive of emerging market countries and emerging market equities.
So, we've recently added an initial position in an ETF that holds a basket of emerging market (EM) equities, which could benefit should the dollar continue to weaken from here. Our model research considers EM equities to be undervalued and the U.S. equity market to be still significantly overvalued.
Harp: What do you think of the markets right now?
Folts: Well, I would say that we remain cautious. I would also say that until proven otherwise, we would have to say that we believe that we remain in a bear market. One of the things we've seen this year is the market rally, right up to its 200-day moving average, and sometimes break through for a couple of days. But it hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, which is typical in a bear market.
We describe bear markets in three phases; you have this period of profit-taking as price momentum and trends break down. That's what we've had thus far in 2022. But then there's a second phase to a bear market, which occurs when additional selling due to weakening prospects for corporate earnings starts to emerge. We haven't seen that yet. But as we get into early 2023, we'll have companies report their fourth-quarter earnings and guidance for 2023. That could be where we might see those earnings come out softer and guidance come out a bit lower, which might be disappointing. So that's the type of thing that could initiate the second stage, or phase, if you will, of a bear market. We haven't seen that second phase yet. Then the third phase is when the bear market picks up pace and gains momentum when you have distressed selling and investors having to sell for liquidity reasons, such as margin calls.
If we are in a bear market, we've only had one of the three phases that we described. So we feel like it could continue into 2023. However, it is also true that an overvalued market can continue higher and become even more overvalued. So that's certainly greater than 0% probability, and you have to be prepared for that possibility as well.
Harp: Are there any types of ETFs you want to highlight?
Folts: I like this question. Several members of the 3EDGE core team have worked together for the past two decades at 3EDGE and other firms and have been pioneers in creating globally diversified portfolios of index ETFs. The growth of the ETF market helped us dramatically because it gives us more options to gain the exposures we're looking for.
Most of the time, we're looking for straightforward index exposure to an asset class or geography that we are interested in. We seek exposure through ETFs that are liquid, transparent, low cost, and where there is minimal tracking error.
We understand that there are all kinds of different ETFs: active, passive, leveraged, inverse. For the way that we invest, we're really looking for more plain vanilla ETFs. Having said that, we are constantly investigating other types of ETF vehicles that we may utilize in the future.
Harp: What's one thing that sets your firm apart?
Folts: I would say, first and foremost, we believe that we have a unique philosophy and approach. We view the global capital markets as a complex system of interrelated variables. That's different from most approaches on Wall Street. Often, we refer to our approach as a risk-managed approach to tactical investing. We seek to provide strategies with a lower beta to traditional stock and bond markets but to do so without sacrificing return potential.
I think the other thing that sets us apart is our people. Many say that, but our core investment research team, and most of our investment committee, have worked together for the better part of two decades. So, we have a great deal of experience, we've been through both up and down markets, and I think that's another aspect of 3EDGE that sets us apart.

I was at Chigwell from 1966 to 1972. While I had to drop geography at the school's insistence to get a scraped O-level in Greek, and therefore miss out on John Dutchman's wonderfully droll classroom delivery, I got blooded into the school first XI slightly ahead of my time at 15 for a debut against the Old Boys at right back. Mr Dutchman had us playing in a 4-3-3 that suited the available players, and I graduated to defensive central midfield, in front of the back four, for the following season. He clearly loved the game, and took us on tour to West Germany. Way back in 1966, our predecessors had been to the communist Czechoslovakia and met Dukla Prague. In my era, an undoubted highlight was playing a West Ham XI on our pitch by the conifer plantation. Ron Greenwood may not have been fabulously mobile but the ball was regularly fed to him out on the left and with his sweet left foot he fed crosses to a quicksilver lad of Nigerian extraction called Ade Coker, who played in the first Division. We got beaten 5-1. It was a footballing lesson in making the ball do the work that I never forgot. Another memory was a 1-1 draw at Highgate, where I achingly hit the bar for the winner that wasn't. I had played my heart out on a dry, warm September day. As I left the pitch, he quietly said to me: 'I wish I had 10 other players like you.' What encouragement. A few weeks later, on my 18th birthday, we faced the mighty Alleyn's. They had beaten us 10-1 at their place the previous year – a dreadful humiliation. In my final term, in 1972, they were at our place. Several miracles happened at once: I hit a perfect long ball with my iffy left foot from inside our half to my right midfield comrade Howard Berndes, a serious talent, around their penalty area and he scored the winner in a famous 2-1 victory. It is people like John Dutchman whose immense efforts will never be forgotten by those he taught about geography and football – but above all, life.

Paradise-Bound: Hurricane Lane aims for Hawaii as a rare Category 4 storm
Andrew MalcolmPosted at 12:01 pm on August 23, 2018
It's not a good sign when the U.S. Navy orders all ships to leave port. But that's what just happened in Hawaii.
The reason is Hurricane Lane, a Category 5 storm that weakened to a 4 Wednesday bearing down on the nation's 50th state. You don't hear of Category 4 or 5 much in the central Pacific, fortunately. A 5 has sustained winds of 160 miles an hour. A 4 only has up to 156 miles an hour.
This is only the second major storm to come within 350 miles of those islands, the last was John back in 1994. The worst one on record was in 1992 when Hurricane Iniki struck Kauai as a Category 4, causing $3.2 billion in damages.
Unfortunately, Lane will come a lot closer than 350 miles. Lane's center may not pass directly over the islands. But its wind bands and slow eight miles an hour movement will bring strong winds, high surf and sustained heavy rains up to 20 inches starting Thursday morning through Saturday Hawaii time, which is six hours behind Eastern.
Residents performed the usual pre-storm rituals of buying generators, large sheets of plywood to board over windows and cleaning out store supplies of bottled water, foods and, of course, the most essential item, toilet paper. Schools and offices were closed for the duration and Gov. David Ige advised against driving. Do ya think?
So rare are big storms in Hawaii's vast oceanic neighborhood that the Democrat governor had to admit the state's shelters are only hardened for much less powerful tropical storms (up to 73 mph). And he warned those would standing room only.
Officials were anticipating that Lane would weaken further but naturally had no guarantees. Even a Category 2 (110 mph) or a 3 (129 mph) have powerful winds and the heavy rains would cause flooding and landslides.
Fortunately, the Mount Kilauea volcano is taking a break from new eruptions this month after its lava covered 13 square miles or almost 8,400 acres since early May.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell said the city was using an abundance of caution. "We're planning for the worst," he said, "and hoping for the best."

Know Your Enemy: Yale
We've mentioned the surprise that was Dartmouth's falling off which dovetailed almost exactly with RPI's own struggles last year, but one of the other major negative surprises of the season was definitely at Yale. The Bulldogs had been the favorites to win the ECAC despite a number of losses up front, but after a promising start the wheels came off in late November, and the team that had been one of the most dominant in the league for several seasons in a row needed a burst of energy in February just to ensure home ice for the first round.
Nickname: Bulldogs
Location: New Haven, CT
Conference: ECAC (Ivy League)
Coach: Keith Allain (7th season)
Series: RPI leads, 53-40-6
First Game: January 22, 1909 (Albany, NY)
Last RPI win: January 21, 2012 (New Haven, CT)
Last YU win: November 11, 2011 (Troy, NY)
2012-13 games: December 7, 2012 (New Haven, CT); February 16, 2013 (Troy, NY)
Key players: D Colin Dueck, sr.; F Antoine Laganiere, sr.; G Jeff Malcolm, sr.; G Nick Maricic, sr.; F Andrew Miller, sr.; F Kenny Agostino, jr.; F Clinton Bourbonais, jr.; F Jesse Root, jr.; D Gus Young, jr.; D Timothy Fallen, so.; D Matt Killian, so.; F Matt Beattie, fr.; F Carson Cooper, fr.; D Rob O'Gara, fr.; F Charles Orzetti, fr.; F Stu Wilson, fr.
Key losses: F Brian O'Neill, D Kevin Peel, F Chad Ziegler, D Nick Jaskowiak, F Kevin Limbert, F Charles Brockett
Defensively, Yale appeared unstoppable early in the season, especially when Malcolm managed to rattle off not just three shutouts in a row, but three shutouts in a row in the ECAC, including blankings of high-powered Colgate and Union (and RPI, but come on, the Engineers couldn't score on an empty net in November last year). However, things unraveled quickly, especially after a shocking 7-6 loss to Sacred Heart, and not only did the Bulldogs fail to shut out a single game after that, they were regularly giving up 3, 4, and 5 goals a game for most of the remainder of the season.
The goaltending question with Yale is one that just never quite seems to go away. It was present at the start of the season two years ago (and answered with Ryan Rondeau), it was there last year (Malcolm appeared to be the answer early, then things fell apart and ultimately Yale allowed 12 goals in their last two games against Harvard), and now it's still there this year, although the potential answers are basically the same as they were last year.
In front of whoever ends up in net for Eli is a relatively young defensive contingent. Dueck and Young stand out as the only upperclassmen on the incoming roster, which will add an anticipated talent in O'Gara but will still consist of at least four freshmen and sophomores on any given night (though one of them will be Fallen, who had a very solid freshman year and put up 20 points from the blue line). That combined with the uncertainty in net makes Yale questionable on defense coming into the season, they'll need to be strong early.
O'Neill represents a sizable loss for the Bulldogs, as he netted 21 goals and scored 46 points to pace the team last year, but the cupboard is not bare by a longshot - Miller, the team's assist leader three years running, is back for his senior year, and Laganiere (19 goals) and Agostino (14 goals) dented the twine with regularity as well. Throw in a bevy of solid scoring talents led by late draft pick Beattie and Yale probably won't have too much of a problem putting the puck in the net.
Over the last several seasons, RPI/Yale has been an absolute treat to watch no matter who the players have been, where the games have been played, or what the records were because both teams try to play an uptempo game. There have been defensive battles and offensive track meets but the teams have gone a few seasons now without really turning out a stinker of a contest. Look for that to continue this season, and if you want to watch some fun hockey, be sure to turn out for this year's clashes between the Engineers and the Bulldogs.

The beauty of this magnificent estate residence is embraced by 6 plus picturesque, landscaped and gated acres!
Flawless beauty and futuristic "smart house" automation are seamlessly blended under one roof in this magnificent French country manor. The landscaped and wooded property comprises more than six picturesque acres, which are both gated and fenced, and includes the babbling brook from which the estate, Longbrook, derives its name.
Limestone decks and patios with cast-iron railings overlook the Greco-Roman-styled Gunite pool and stand-alone waterfall, which is serviced by a pool house with kitchenette, bath, laundry satellite TV, and complete AMX house controls. Halogen dimmable exterior lighting and an AMX-controlled state-of-the-art exterior sound system ensure full enjoyment of the serene grounds.
The truly inspired design of the over 10,000-square-foot residence is the result of months of thought, planning, and execution by leaders in their specialist fields: interior design by Marc Polo; electronics by Electronic Design Group; lighting design by William Riegal; landscaping by Magic Gardens; with the noted luxury-home builder Gary Pritchard orchestrating the project. The finished masterpiece has fourteen slate rooflines and is faced with a stone-and-stucco treatment that gives it an old-world European look.
The fifteen-room residence, entirely internetworked, is one of the most sophisticated "intelligent houses" in North America. All electrical, electronic and audio request music systems throughout the house are controlled by the AMX system. All interior and exterior lighting, HVAC, security cameras, spa, pool, and more are part of this system.
The interior of the residence features high ceilings, Kolbe & Kolbe true divided-light windows, Lutron lighting, brass hardware, outstanding molding detail with pilasters throughout, and venetiziano-plastered wall treatments. There are radiant-heated floors, coffered ceilings, relief molding, herringbone inlaid oak floors, five marble fireplaces with custom mantels, and an elevator that accesses all three floors.
Elegant circular stairs and heated stone floors in the grand entry foyer set a gracious tone that is carried throughout the home. Windowed galleries flank this foyer, which opens to the formal dining room. The family room, with a twenty-foot limestone fireplace and an elevated ceiling braced by distressed beams, has a state-of-the-art built-in home theater with HDTV plasma screen and Dolby Digital surround sound. The octagonal full cherry library with Brazilian mahogany floors, alabaster chandelier and coffered ceiling has nine-foot mahogany doors that open to the living room. A first-floor guest suite has access to a loggia with spa. With appliances by Miele, Thermador, SubZero, GE, and a DCS oven with sandstone hearth, the gourmet kitchen is state-of-the art, yet its handcrafted glazed cabinetry, oversized island and limestone countertop give it the feel of a country kitchen. The adjacent octagonal breakfast room with a cove ceiling opens out to the rear patio.
An anteroom with elevator access ensures that the master suite is both private and convenient. The lavish suite features two dressing rooms, a balcony, fireplace, built-in theater with 58-inch HDTV with Dolby surround sound system, and a marble bathroom with separate steam room. Three en suite tumbled-marble bathrooms service four family bedrooms, all with high ceilings and walk-in closets.
The high-tech home theater on the lower level puts commercial theaters to shame. Featuring sound damping and soundproofing by Owens Corning, seven amplifiers, a Dolby 6.1 EX sound system (prewired and upgradeable to 10.1) powered by JBL synthesis, an eleven-foot Stewart movie screen, a Sony digital G-90, and Faroudja video, this theater showpieces the finest video picture and sound available. It has three-tier seating by First Impressions with twelve reclining seats. Also on the lower level are a billiard room, gym with TV, powder room, and wine refrigeration for 340 bottles.
This truly outstanding estate is a rare offering.


The use of mobile telepresence robots (MTRs) is increasing. Very few MTRs have autonomous navigation systems. Thus teleoperation is usually still a manual task, and often has user experience problems. We believe that this may be due to (1) the fixed viewpoint and limited field of view of a 2D camera system and (2) the capability of judging distances due to lack of depth perception.
To improve the experience of teleoperating the robot, we evaluated the use of stereo video coupled with a head-tracked and head-mounted display.
To do this, we installed a brushless gimbal with a stereo camera pair on a robot platform. We used an Oculus Rift (DK1) device for visualization and head tracking.
Stereobot telepresence robot (left) and stereo gimbal system (right).
We conducted a preliminary user study to gather qualitative feedback about telepresence navigation tasks using stereo vs. a 2D camera feed, and high vs. low camera placement. In a simulated telepresence scenario, participants were asked to drive the robot from an office to a meeting location, have conversation with a tester, then drive back to the starting location.
An ANOVA on System Usability Scale (SUS) scores with visualization type and camera placement as factors results in a significant effect of visualization type on the score. However, we observed a higher SUS score for navigation based on a 2D camera feed. The camera placement height did not show a significant effect.
The following two main reasons could have caused the lower ratings for stereo: (1) about half of the users experienced at least some form of disorientation. This might have been due to their unfamiliarity with immersive VR headsets but also due the sensory distortion effect of being immersed visually in a moving environment while other bodily senses report sitting still. (2) the video transmission quality was not optimal due to interference of the analog video transmission signal by objects in the building and due to the relatively low display resolution of the Oculus Rift DK1 device.
In the future we intend to work on improving the visual quality of the stereo output by using better video transmission and head-worn display. We furthermore intend to evaluate robot navigation tasks using a full VR view. This view will make use of the robot's sensors and localization system in order to display the robot correctly within a virtual representation of our building.
Our IEEE Pervasive paper on head-mounted capture for multimedia tutorials was recently accepted and is currently in press. We are excited to share some our findings here.
Creating multimedia tutorials requires two distinct steps: capture and editing. While editing, authors have the opportunity to devote their full attention to the task at hand. Capture is different. In the best case, capture should be completely unobtrusive so that the author can focus exclusively on the task being captured. But this can be difficult to achieve with handheld devices, especially if the task requires that the tutorial author move around an object and use both hands simultaneously (e.g., showing how to replace a bike derailleur).
For this reason, we extended our ShowHow multimedia tutorial system to support head-mounted capture. Our first approach was simple: a modified pair of glasses with a Looxcie camera and laser guide attached. While this approach interfered with the user's vision less than other solutions, such as a full augmented reality system, it nonetheless suffered from an array of problems: it was bulky, it was difficult to control, and without a display feedback of the captured area it was hard to frame videos and photos.
Luckily, Google Glass launched around this time. With an onboard camera, a touch panel, and display, it seemed an excellent choice for head-mounted capture.
To test this, we built an app for Google Glass that requires minimal attention to the capture device and instead allows the author to focus on creating the tutorial content. In our paper, we describe a study comparing standalone capture (camera on tripod) versus head-mounted (Google Glass) capture. Details are in the paper, but in short we found that tutorial authors prefer wearable capture devices, especially when recording activities involving larger objects in non-tabletop environments.
Finally, based on the success of Glass for capture we built and tested an access app as well. A detailed description of the tool, as well as another study we ran testing its efficacy for viewing multimedia tutorials, is the subject of an upcoming paper. Stay tuned.

The Matthias Corvinus House (Romanian: Casa Matia, ) is one of the oldest buildings in  Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania, Romania. It was built in the 15th century, in the gothic style, as a small guesthouse. During its history, the house served as a jail, hospital, and museum; it is now home to a visual arts institute.

Matthias Corvinus (Hungarian: Hunyadi Mátyás, Romanian: Matia Corvin), son of John Hunyadi, later one of the most renowned Kings of Hungary, was born in this building on 23 February 1443. That time the house was owned by Jakab (James) Méhffi, who was a well-to-do wine-grower and merchant in the city. On 28 September 1467, king Matthias gave tax and duty exemption privilege for all descendants of the Méhffi family, the owner of the building.

The house has been owned by the Art and Design University of Cluj-Napoca since 1950.

China wants to stop the Philippines from filing its written pleading in the case, sources say. The rising superpower says it has 'no information' about this.
MANILA, Philippines – In a last-ditch attempt to derail a historic case, China has offered the Philippines incentives such as the mutual withdrawal of ships from the disputed Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal, sources told Rappler.
China wants to stop the Philippines from submitting its written pleading, called a memorial, to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) by March 30, these sources said.
Asked for comment, the Chinese Embassy said it has "no information to offer" about this.
But former national security adviser Roilo Golez said China is "worried" about the memorial. "In fact, they're even offering a carrot so that we don't submit on the deadline," he said.
The "carrot," he said, is the offer to mutually withdraw from the shoal in the contested West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).
Golez told Rappler he got this information from one of the back channels in the maritime dispute, but refused to reveal his source.
He is not alone in making the claim about China's offer. Two insiders in government also confirmed this to Rappler.
Behind the scenes, President Benigno Aquino III convened his entire Cabinet in the last week of January to discuss China's offer, according to a source privy to government meetings held in relation to this. It was a closed-door session that the Palace did not announce.
Through a lawmaker who acted as a backdoor negotiator, China reportedly offered not only the mutual withdrawal from Panatag, but also more investments.
This issue divided the Cabinet. Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario stood by his position to pursue the case, the source said.
The government's other concern, according to the source, is that the offer came from a backdoor channel. It was possible that the negotiator talked to the wrong people.
The source said the Palace, however, is not completely closing its doors on China's offer. To submit the memorial is Aquino's choice in the end.
In any case, a senior government official said the situation "will get worse before it gets better." "China is doing everything it can to make things difficult for us," the official said.
"China stays committed to solving disputes through negotiations with the countries directly concerned," Zhang said.
Despite this, the Philippines said it is bent on submitting its written pleading. Besides, deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte on Wednesday, February 26, said she has "no information" about incentives offered by Beijing.
In a media briefing on Tuesday, February 25, Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Raul Hernandez also said the Philippines is "preparing" to submit its memorial by March 30.
"I am aware of no reason why this would not happen," Reichler said in an e-mail to Rappler.
"Why should we reward them for withdrawing from our own territory, from our own exclusive economic zone? They should not be rewarded," he said.
"Number two, if we don't file according to the deadline, that will diminish our standing in the ITLOS. Because if we're delayed, that means we don't hold enough documents, right? So that might weaken us. It's like an ordinary case. When you ask for a postponement, that means that you lack the materials, and you still need materials," he added in a mix of English and Filipino.
