Returns a set of temporary credentials for an AWS account or IAM user. The credentials consist of an access key ID, a secret access key, and a security token. Typically, you use get-session-token if you want use MFA to protect programmatic calls to specific AWS APIs like Amazon EC2 StopInstances . MFA-enabled IAM users would need to call get-session-token and submit an MFA code that is associated with their MFA device. Using the temporary security credentials that are returned from the call, IAM users can then make programmatic calls to APIs that require MFA authentication.
The get-session-token action must be called by using the long-term AWS security credentials of the AWS account or an IAM user. Credentials that are created by IAM users are valid for the duration that you specify, between 900 seconds (15 minutes) and 129600 seconds (36 hours); credentials that are created by using account credentials have a maximum duration of 3600 seconds (1 hour).
The permissions that are granted to the federated user are the intersection of the policy that is passed with the get-session-token request and policies that are associated with of the entity making the get-session-token call.
For more information about using get-session-token to create temporary credentials, go to Creating Temporary Credentials to Enable Access for IAM Users in Using IAM .
get-session-token
[--duration-seconds <value>]
[--serial-number <value>]
[--token-code <value>]
The duration, in seconds, that the credentials should remain valid. Acceptable durations for IAM user sessions range from 900 seconds (15 minutes) to 129600 seconds (36 hours), with 43200 seconds (12 hours) as the default. Sessions for AWS account owners are restricted to a maximum of 3600 seconds (one hour). If the duration is longer than one hour, the session for AWS account owners defaults to one hour.
The identification number of the MFA device that is associated with the IAM user who is making the get-session-token call. Specify this value if the IAM user has a policy that requires MFA authentication. The value is either the serial number for a hardware device (such as GAHT12345678 ) or an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for a virtual device (such as arn:aws:iam::123456789012:mfa/user ). You can find the device for an IAM user by going to the AWS Management Console and viewing the user's security credentials.
The value provided by the MFA device, if MFA is required. If any policy requires the IAM user to submit an MFA code, specify this value. If MFA authentication is required, and the user does not provide a code when requesting a set of temporary security credentials, the user will receive an "access denied" response when requesting resources that require MFA authentication.

Overview
This example provides the following:
- exampleLinkMain
-
A database with records named exampleMonitorLink, exampleGetLink, and examplePutLink.
Each has a link to another channel.
The process method of the records use pvaChannelMonitor, pvaChannelGet,
and pvaChannelPut to connect to the other channel.
- exampleLinkClient
-
This uses pvaClientPut to change values in the record to which exampleLinkMain
connects and uses pvaClientMonitor to monitor changes in pvaChannelMonitor.
- doubleArrayMain
-
This is an PVDatabase that holds a PVRecord in another IOC to which exampleLinkMain
can connect.
- v3IOC
-
A V3 softIOC that can be used to create a V3 DBRecord to which exampleLinkMain
can connect.
exampleLinkMain
exampleLinkMain supports help as follows:
mrk> pwd
/home/epicsv4/release4_6/exampleJava/exampleLink
mrk> scripts/exampleLinkMain -help
provider linkedRecordName generateLinkedRecord
default
pva doubleArray true
mrk>
The arguments are:
- provider
-
This can be pva or ca or local.
ca only works if channelName is a accessable via the ca network protocol,
e. g. it is the name of a DBRecord in a V3 IOC.
local only works if generateLinkedRecord is true.
- linkedRecordName
-
The name of the channel to which records
exampleMonitorLink, exampleGetLink, and examplePutLink connect.
- generateLinkedRecord
-
If true then record generateLinkedRecord is allocated in the same IOC.
exampleLinkClient
exampleLinkClient supports help as follows:
mrk> pwd
/home/epicsv4/release4_6/exampleJava/exampleLink
mrk> scripts/exampleLinkClient -help
provider linkedRecordName
default
pva doubleArray
The arguments are:
- provider
-
This can be pva or ca or local.
ca only works if channelName is a accessable via the ca network protocol,
e. g. it is the name of a DBRecord in a V3 IOC.
local only works if generateLinkedRecord is true.
- linkedRecordName
-
The name of the channel to which records
exampleMonitorLink, exampleGetLink, and examplePutLink connect.
doubleArrayMain
doubleArrayMain supports help as follows:
mrk> pwd
/home/epicsv4/release4_6/exampleJava/exampleLink
mrk> scripts/exampleLinkdoubleArrayMain -help
doubleArrayRecordName
default
doubleArrayExternal
The argument is:
- doubleArrayRecordName
-
The channel name of the PVRecord.
- linkedRecordName
-
The name of the channel to which records
exampleMonitorLink, exampleGetLink, and examplePutLink connect.
Using exampleLinkMain to test providers pva, local and ca
channel provider pva
Just start exampleLinkMain and exampleLinkClient with the default options.
channel provider local
start exampleLinkMain as:
scripts/exampleLinkMain local
exampleLinkClient can be started with the default options.
channel provider ca
In order to test using provider ca
a softIoc for record doubleArray must also be started:
mrk> pwd
/home/epicsv4/master/exampleJava/exampleLink/v3IOC
mrk> softIoc st.cmd
Start exampleLinkMain:
scripts/exampleLinkMain ca doubleArray false
Start exampleLinkClient:
scripts/exampleLinkClient ca
Discussion
Access Alternatives
The process routine of a PVRecord can access other PVRecords in two ways:
- Directly accessing local pvDatabase
-
If the other PVRecord is accessed via the master PVDatabase then
threading issues are up to the implementation.
- Access via channelProvider pva or ca
-
If provider pva or ca is used then locking is handled by pvAccess.
- Access via channelProvider local
-
If provider local is used the implementation must be careful that it does not
cause deadlocks.
When the process method is called the pvRecord for the process method is locked.
When it makes a pvAccess get, put, etc request the other record is locked.
Thus if a set of pvAccess links are implemented the possibility of deadlocks
exists. A simple example is two records that have links to each other.
More complex sets are easily created.
Unless the developer has complete control of the set of records then remote pvAccess should
be used.
But this results in more context switches.
Data synchronization
If pvAccess (provider pva or ca) is used then it handles data synchronization.
This is done by making a copy of the data that is transferred between the two pvRecords.
This is true if either remote or local pvAccess is used.
Each get, put, etc request results in data being copied between the two records.
If the linked channel is a local pvRecord then,
for scalar and structure arrays,
raw data is NOT copied for gets.
This is because pvData uses shared_vector to hold the raw data.
Instead of copying the raw data the reference count is incremented.
For puts the linked array will force a new allocation of the raw data in the linked record,
i. e. copy on write semantics are enforced. This is done automatically
by pvData and not by pvDatabase.


Jofra Archer: England bowler subjected to 'racial insults' during New Zealand defeat
England fast bowler Jofra Archer says he was subjected to racist abuse by a spectator during the final day of the first-Test defeat by New Zealand.
The 24-year-old, who was making his first appearance in an overseas Test for England, says he heard comments from "one guy" at the Bay Oval.
England lost the match in Mount Maunganui by an innings and 65 runs.
"A bit disturbing hearing racial insults today whilst battling to help save my team," said Archer.
In a post on social media, he added: "The crowd has been amazing this week except for that one guy. The Barmy Army was good as usual."
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said it is conducting an investigation into the incident, which took place as Archer walked off the field following his dismissal.
As part of the investigation, England said Archer had received a direct message via social media from someone who is alleged to be the culprit.
"It's emotional, it hurts and we fully support Jofra," said England's director of men's cricket Ashley Giles. "He is a young man making his way in the game and we don't need that sort of distraction.
"Hopefully we find out who it is. There is a lot of CCTV around the ground. We are hoping someone there can identify person, and we are working hard to find the culprit.
"We are working closely with New Zealand Cricket; they are incredibly concerned it happened on their patch and believe it is an isolated incident."
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said it would be apologising to Archer but added it has yet to identify the perpetrator.
"New Zealand Cricket will be contacting, and apologising to English fast bowler Jofra Archer, who was racially abused by a spectator as he left the field at the conclusion of the first Test at Bay Oval," it said in a statement.
"Although security providers at the venue were unable to locate the perpetrator, NZC will be examining CCTV footage and making further inquiries tomorrow in an endeavour to identify the man responsible.
"NZC has zero tolerance towards abusive or offensive language at any of its venues and will refer any developments in the case to police."
In September, an England fan said he heard a group of eight men singing a racist song about Barbados-born Archer during the fourth Ashes Test against Australia at Old Trafford.
Archer took one wicket during the defeat at the Bay Oval, dismissing BJ Watling for 205.
The second Test of the two-match series starts in Hamilton on Thursday (22:00 GMT).

--- Day 5: Sunny with a Chance of Asteroids ---
You're starting to sweat as the ship makes its way toward Mercury. The Elves suggest that you get the air conditioner working by upgrading your ship computer to support the Thermal Environment Supervision Terminal.
The Thermal Environment Supervision Terminal (TEST) starts by running a diagnostic program (your puzzle input). The TEST diagnostic program will run on your existing Intcode computer after a few modifications:
First, you'll need to add two new instructions:
- Opcode
3
takes a single integer as input and saves it to the position given by its only parameter. For example, the instruction3,50
would take an input value and store it at address50
. - Opcode
4
outputs the value of its only parameter. For example, the instruction4,50
would output the value at address50
.
Programs that use these instructions will come with documentation that explains what should be connected to
the input and output. The program 3,0,4,0,99
outputs whatever it gets as input, then halts.
Second, you'll need to add support for parameter modes:
Each parameter of an instruction is handled based on its parameter mode. Right now, your ship computer
already understands parameter mode 0
, position mode, which causes the parameter to be
interpreted as a position - if the parameter is 50
, its value is the value stored
at address 50
in memory. Until now, all parameters have been in position mode.
Now, your ship computer will also need to handle parameters in mode 1
, immediate mode.
In immediate mode, a parameter is interpreted as a value - if the parameter is 50
, its
value is simply 50
.
Parameter modes are stored in the same value as the instruction's opcode. The opcode is a two-digit number
based only on the ones and tens digit of the value, that is, the opcode is the rightmost two digits of the
first value in an instruction. Parameter modes are single digits, one per parameter, read right-to-left from
the opcode: the first parameter's mode is in the hundreds digit, the second parameter's mode is in the
thousands digit, the third parameter's mode is in the ten-thousands digit, and so on. Any missing modes are
0
.
For example, consider the program 1002,4,3,4,33
.
The first instruction, 1002,4,3,4
, is a multiply instruction - the rightmost two digits
of the first value, 02
, indicate opcode 2
, multiplication. Then, going right to
left, the parameter modes are 0
(hundreds digit), 1
(thousands digit), and
0
(ten-thousands digit, not present and therefore zero):
ABCDE
1002
DE - two-digit opcode, 02 == opcode 2
C - mode of 1st parameter, 0 == position mode
B - mode of 2nd parameter, 1 == immediate mode
A - mode of 3rd parameter, 0 == position mode,
omitted due to being a leading zero
This instruction multiplies its first two parameters. The first parameter, 4
in position mode,
works like it did before - its value is the value stored at address 4
(33
). The
second parameter, 3
in immediate mode, simply has value 3
. The result of this
operation, 33 * 3 = 99
, is written according to the third parameter, 4
in position
mode, which also works like it did before - 99
is written to address 4
.
Parameters that an instruction writes to will never be in immediate mode.
Finally, some notes:
- It is important to remember that the instruction pointer should increase by the number of values in
the instruction after the instruction finishes. Because of the new instructions, this amount is no
longer always
4
. - Integers can be negative:
1101,100,-1,4,0
is a valid program (find100 + -1

).
The TEST diagnostic program will start by requesting from the user the ID of the system to test by running an
input instruction - provide it 1
, the ID for the ship's air conditioner unit.
It will then perform a series of diagnostic tests confirming that various parts of the Intcode computer, like
parameter modes, function correctly. For each test, it will run an output instruction indicating
how far the result of the test was from the expected value, where 0
means the test was
successful. Non-zero outputs mean that a function is not working correctly; check the instructions that were
run before the output instruction to see which one failed.
Finally, the program will output a diagnostic code and immediately halt. This final output isn't an error; an output followed immediately by a halt means the program finished. If all outputs were zero except the diagnostic code, the diagnostic program ran successfully.
After providing 1
to the only input instruction and passing all the tests, what diagnostic
code does the program produce?

My name is Dr. Nibbles Nibbler Nibblstein. I hold PhD's in Neurobiology, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, and Chicano Studies. Several decades as go I wrote the infamous 1973 paper the Sex of a Fly, which brought the Life Sciences into the mainstream. But not all that glittered was gold; due to allegations of falsified data I was exiled from the scientific community and my work was lost to the sands of time.
Many people believed that I falsified data to rise to the top of my field so I could live a life of luxury. A life of golden showers, fast cars, and even faster, hairless men. I was constantly harassed by the press, and my closest friends and lover, Carlito, abandoned me. It's been a wild ride. I developed a severe addiction to cocaine, robbed several liquor stores, and ended up in jail where I thought I would waste away until Angel broke me out by paying off the guards.
Academic research is a thing of the past for me.   But now, in the days of Russian hacking, crooked politicians, and a rejected Cheeto for a President, this doesn't seem so crazy after all.
I was set up to fail by Big Oil because I discovered a way to turn Mexican tears into fuel using bromoacetone, quarks, and fruit fly penises using an Advanced Quantum Deep Learning AI Model. This would've completely disolved our dependence on oil, and ushered in an era where Mexicans were venerated, respected, and accepted into this country. It was too radical for the time, and possibly even still to radical now. But I urge you people of the internet, rise up and fight against Exxon Mobil and the rest of the energy giants. Ask them, "Why was Dr. Nibbles set up? Why was Nib Nib's work destroyed?". Demand the truth, for it shall set us all free.

Grain Fill Stages in Corn

he grain fill period begins with successful pollination and initiation of kernel development, and ends approximately 60 days later when the kernels are physiologically mature. During grain fill, the developing kernels will be the primary sink for concurrent photosynthate produced by the corn plant. What this means is that the photosynthate demands of the developing kernels will take precedence over that of much of the rest of the plant. In essence, the plant will do all it can to "pump" dry matter into the kernels, sometimes at the expense of the health and maintenance of other plant parts including the roots and lower stalk.
A stress-free grain fill period can maximize the yield potential of a crop, while severe stress during grain fill can cause kernel abortion or lightweight grain and encourage the development of stalk rot. The health of the upper leaf canopy is particularly important for achieving maximum grain filling capacity.
Kernel development proceeds through several relatively distinct stages that were originally described by Hanway (1971) and most recently by Abendroth et al. (2011). As with leaf staging protocols, the kernel growth stage for an entire field is defined when at least 50% of the plants in a field have reached that stage.
Silking Stage (Growth Stage R1)
Some may argue whether silking should be labeled as a kernel growth stage, but nonetheless silk emergence is technically the first recognized stage of the reproductive period. Every ovule (potential kernel) on the ear develops its own silk (the functional stigma of the female flower). Silks begin to elongate soon after the V12 leaf stage (12 leaves with visible leaf collars), beginning with the ovules nearer the base of the cob and then sequentially up the cob, with the tip ovules silking last. Consequently, the silks from the base half of the ear are typically the first to emerge from the husk leaves. Turgor pressure "fuels" the elongation of the silks and so severe drought stress usually results in delayed silk elongation and emergence from the husk leaves. Silks elongate about 1.5 inches per day during the first few days after they emerge from the husk leaves. Silks continue to elongate until pollen grains are captured and germinate or until they simply deteriorate with age.
Silks remain receptive to pollen grain germination up to 10 days after silk emergence (Nielsen, 2010a), but deteriorate quickly after about the first 5 days of emergence. Natural senescence of silk tissue over time results in collapsed tissue that restricts continued growth of the pollen tube. Silk emergence usually occurs in close synchrony with pollen shed (Nielsen, 2010b), so that duration of silk receptivity is normally not a concern. Failure of silks to emerge in the first place (for example, in response to silkballing or severe drought stress) does not bode well for successful pollination.
Pollen grains "captured" by silks quickly germinate and develop pollen tubes that penetrate the silk tissue and elongate to the ovule within about 24 hours. The pollen tubes contain the male gametes that eventually fertilize the ovules. Within about 24 hours or so after successfully fertilizing an ovule, the attached silk deteriorates at the base, collapses, and drops away. This fact can be used to determine fertilization success before visible kernel development occurs (Nielsen, 2012).

Kernel Blister Stage (Growth Stage R2)
About 10 to 14 days after silking, the developing kernels are whitish "blisters" on the cob and contain abundant clear fluid. The ear silks are mostly brown and drying rapidly. Some starch is beginning to accumulate in the endosperm. The radicle root, coleoptile, and first embryonic leaf have formed in the embryo by the blister stage. Severe stress can easily abort kernels at pre-blister and blister stages. Kernel moisture content is approximately 85 percent. For late April to early May plantings in Indiana, the thermal time from blister stage to physiological maturity is approximately 960 GDDs (Brown, 1999).

Kernel Milk Stage (R3)
About 18 to 22 days after silking, the kernels are mostly yellow and contain "milky" white fluid. The milk stage of development is the infamous "roasting ear" stage, that stage where you will find die-hard corn aficionados standing out in their field nibbling on these delectable morsels. Starch continues to accumulate in the endosperm. Endosperm cell division is nearly complete and continued growth is mostly due to cell expansion and starch accumulation. Severe stress can still abort kernels, although not as easily as at the blister stage. Kernel moisture content is approximately 80 percent. For late April to early May plantings in Indiana, the thermal time from milk stage to physiological maturity is approximately 880 GDDs (Brown, 1999).
Click image to view larger version.
Kernel Dough Stage (R4)
About 24 to 28 days after silking, the kernel's milky inner fluid is changing to a "doughy" consistency as starch accumulation continues in the endosperm. The shelled cob is now light red or pink. By dough stage, four embryonic leaves have formed and the kernels have reached about 50 percent of their mature dry weight. Kernel moisture content is approximately 70 percent by R4. Kernel abortion is much less likely to occur once kernels have reached early dough stage, but severe stress can continue to affect eventual yield by reducing kernel weight. For late April to early May plantings in Indiana, the thermal time from dough stage to physiological maturity is approximately 670 GDDs (Brown, 1999).
Click image to view larger version.
Kernel Dent Stage (R5)
About 35 to 42 days after silking, all or nearly all of the kernels are denting near their crowns. The fifth (and last) embryonic leaf and lateral seminal roots form just prior to the dent stage. Kernel moisture content at the beginning of the dent stage is approximately 55 percent.
A distinct horizontal line appears near the dent end of the kernel and slowly progresses to the tip end of the kernel over the next 3 weeks or so. This line is called the "milk line" and marks the boundary between the liquid (milky) and solid (starchy) areas of the maturing kernels.
For late April to early May plantings in Indiana, the thermal time from full dent (kernel milk line barely visible) to physiological maturity is approximately 350 GDDs (Brown, 1999). Thermal time from the half-milkline stage to physiological maturity for similar planting dates is approximately 280 GDDs. One of the consequences of delayed planting is that thermal time from the dent stage to physiological maturity is shortened, though this may simply reflect a premature maturation of the grain caused by the cumulative effects of shorter daylengths and cooler days in early fall or by outright death of the plants by a killing fall freeze.
Severe stress can continue to limit kernel dry weight accumulation between the dent stage and physiological maturity. Estimated yield loss due to total plant death at full dent is about 40%, while total plant death at half-milkline would decrease yield by about 12% (Carter & Hesterman, 1990)

Physiological Maturity (R6)
About 55 to 65 days after silking, kernel dry weight usually reaches its maximum and kernels are said to be physiologically mature and safe from frost. Physiological maturity occurs shortly after the kernel milk line disappears and just before the kernel black layer forms at the tip of the kernels. Severe stress after physiological maturity has little effect on grain yield, unless the integrity of the stalk or ear is compromised (e.g., damage from European corn borer or stalk rots). Kernel moisture content at physiological maturity averages 30 percent, but can vary from 25 to 40 percent grain moisture.

Harvest Maturity
While not strictly a stage of grain development, harvest maturity is often defined as that grain moisture content where harvest can occur with minimal kernel damage and mechanical harvest loss. Harvest maturity is usually considered to be near 25 percent grain moisture.

A2ZDB Model Naming Conventions
In software development, a naming convention is a set of rules for choosing the character sequence to be used for identifiers which denote variables, types, functions, and other objects found in source code and documentation. Reasons for using a naming convention include the following:
- To reduce the effort needed to read and understand source code in collaborative team environments.
- To encourage code review focus on more important issues than syntax, code convention and naming standards.
- To enhance source code appearance (for example, by disallowing overly ambigous or unclear abbreviations)
Unfortunately, the choice of naming conventions can be an enormously controversial issue, with partisans of each holding theirs to be the best and others to be inferior. Colloquially, this can certainly become a matter of dogma. The simple truth is - there is no one best naming conventions, their is simply industry standard. As dogmatic as this discussion can get – it is none the less important to set standards to ensure consistency and predictability. Accordingly, the database naming convention and modeling standards set forth by DataRx are aligned with the conventions of the IDEF1X specification previously discussed.
Singular Naming Standard
When naming entities and in most all cases when naming attributes, a plural form should NEVER be used. It should be clear and understood that when we are viewing a model - we view it from the context of uniquely isolated sets of data. While it is true - many entities will return collections or rows of information. Each of these rows can be uniquely identified and transactions occur in this level of isolation. Cardinality is the nature of this industry but should not be the nature of your object model. Accordingly, when modeling, one should always view the design from the perspective of a single lineage of related ancenstory data. It can make all the difference in the decision making process of planning
- OPS_REQUEST (proper naming convention)
- OPS_REQUESTS (improper naming convention)
Character Casing
The primary purpose of casing of letters is human readability and understanding the context of what they are reading. Common conventions include Title Case, Camel Case and Pascal Case. When it comes to data model naming conventions as it pertains to storage objects, DataRx encourages IDEF standards using all upper case characters when supported. This will clearly differentiate reference between data objects and persistence objects (aka: transfer objects, models, business objects, result set).
Multi-Word Identifiers
A common recommendation is "Use meaningful identifiers." A single word may not be as meaningful, or specific, as multiple words. Consequently, some naming conventions specify rules for the treatment of "compound" identifiers containing more than one word. As most programming languages do not allow white space in identifiers, a method of delimiting each word is needed (to make it easier for subsequent readers to interpret which characters belong to which word). When modeling data, the delimiter used to delimit a multi-word object name will be the underscore "_". e.g. WORKFLOW_TRANSITION. While it goes without saying - as a rule and general policy, DataRx WILL NOT name data models using Camel or Pascal casing methodologies in raw form. These casing techniques will however; be applied in the transport object at run-time.
Entity and Attribute Keywords
What many developers recognize as a table, class or document is referred to as an Entity in IDEF1X. Likewise, a column, property or accessor is referred to as an Attribute. An Entity is a representation of a class of real or abstract things (people, objects, places, events, ideas, or a composite objects that are recognized as instances of the same class because they share the same characteristics and can participate in the same relationships. An Attribute is a property or characteristic that is common to some or all of the instances of an entity. An attribute represents the use of a domain in the context of an entity.
Other Important Keywords
Understanding the database naming convention requires you to have an understanding of certain keywords that are used to help you as a developer understand not only the purpose of an Entity or Attribute but also identify the functional context of these objects.
Entity Keywords
All entity objects are prefixed with a keyword that identifies the conceptual schema as discussed in the Object Modeling document. The purpose of this prefix is to easily identify a collection of entities that are related to one another in any given context called a taxonomy schema. While this separation of concern helps you understand the object model as a whole. It should be understood that it is natural for relationships to exist between taxonomy schemas.
Attribute Keywords
A2ZDB is consistent in using a variety of keyword naming conventions of attributes to help self document the purpose, function and in some cases the nature of a relationship of a specific property within an entity. The following table illustrate these keywords and the context in which they are used functionally.
| Taxonomy Prefix | Namespace |
|---|---|
| A2Z | Dedicated Object State Model (Arizona's OSM) |
| BSM | Business Social Media Object Model |
| CMS | Content Management System Object Model |
| COM | Community Object Model |
| CRM | Customer Relationship Management Object Model |
| CSM | Customer Service Management Object Model |
| DEV | Development Operations Object Model |
| DNA | Dashboard Normalization & Archive Object Model |
| EAV | Entity Attribute Value Object Model |

| OPS | Message Delivery Object Model |
| OSM | Object State Model |
| SDK | Software Development Kit Object Model |
| SQF | Software Development Kit Object Model |
| UGD | Namespace reserved |
| XXX | Generic Taxonomy Namespace Reserve |
| Keyword | Placement | Example | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEY | Suffix | META_KEY | Identifies noun name primary key string. |
| ID | Suffix | MEMBER_ID | Identifies A UUID/GUID primary key constraint. |
| TYPE | Suffix | MEMBER_TYPE | Identifies metadata taxonomy |
| CLASS | Suffix | MEMBER_CLASS | Identifies metadata taxonomy |
| IS | Prefix | IS_ACTIVE | Identifies a boolean value |
| UTS | Suffix | LAST_MODIFIED_UTS | Identifies a bigint unixtimestamp |
| LEXICON | Suffix | ROLE_LEXICON | Identifies verbage used to further describe a property of an entity |
| PARENT | Prefix | PARENT_KEY | Identifies foreign key inheritance from the entity's own primary key |
| SURROGATE | Prefix | SURRAGATE_ID | Identifies an arbitray and implied primary key constraint from another entity or data source |
Commonly Used Attribute Names
In keeping with the spirit of consistency, the A2ZDB does share certain attributes in name only across the spectrum of taxonomy namespaces where certain object state conditions can be achieved. Once recognized, these reoccuring attributes serve to provide depth in understanding regardless of the entity they are contained in. Below is a list of some of these attributes you will run across while reviewing the concrete logical models A2ZDB has to offer
| Attribue Name | Data Type | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAST_MODIFIED_UTS | BigInt | 64bits | Unixtimestamp when record was last modified |


During the seed generation, you have the option of enabling hints. These are sold by NPCs and provide information on the locations of important skills.
The most common form of hints are the Zone Hints sold by Lupo. If you buy Lupo’s map of an area, instead of giving you an item Lupo will give you a hint which will tell you how many Key Items are in this area. Key Items include every skill, plus Clean Water and Water Breath.
If you speak to Lupo in his house at Glades, on top of selling Zone Hints for Woods and Glades, Lupo will also sell a hint revealing the zones in which you can find the skills Water Dash, Burrow, Grenade, and Flap. The price of this hint starts at 4000 Spirit Light and will decrease if you already own some of these skills.
Opher is also selling a hint for Clean Water, Glide, Bash and Bow instead of selling Water Breath. In order to unlock this hint, you first need to complete Wellspring's escape and then buy it from Opher at 2500 Spirit Light. Like for Lupo’s hint, the price will decrease if you already have some of the skills related to this hint.
After buying these hints, you can press Alt+P or open your map to display them again.

[gecode-users] how to start?

Hi,
The documentation for Gecode is a reference documentation, there is
currently no tutorial-style documentation. See previous discussion on
the mailing list [1].
As for learning to use Gecode, I would recommend to start learning by
doing a few simple models. All the examples in the examples-directory
are full programs (hint: each file has a main-function), so they are a
good starting point for exploration. I would recommend starting by
studying a simple example like n-queens (examples/queens.cc) or
send+more=money (examples/money.cc). Gecode uses mostly the same
concepts as other CP-systems, so the modeling-part is quite similar.
For detailed information about the constraints and variables that you
can use, the relevant sections in the reference-documentation are
under Programming Models [2].
Cheers,
Mikael
PS A script refers to a model.

DIR_COLORS
Section: Linux User Manual (5)Updated: 2001-12-26
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
dir_colors - configuration file for dircolors(1)DESCRIPTION
The program ls(1) uses the environment variable LS_COLORS to determine the colors in which the filenames are to be displayed. This environment variable is usually set by a command like
- eval `dircolors some_path/dir_colors`
found in a system default shell initialization file, like /etc/profile or /etc/csh.cshrc. (See also dircolors(1).) Usually, the file used here is /etc/DIR_COLORS and can be overridden by a .dir_colors file in one's home directory.
This configuration file consists of several statements, one per line. Anything right of a hash mark (#) is treated as a comment, if the hash mark is at the beginning of a line or is preceded by at least one whitespace. Blank lines are ignored.
The global section of the file consists of any statement before the first TERM statement. Any statement in the global section of the file is considered valid for all terminal types. Following the global section is one or more terminal-specific sections, preceded by one or more TERM statements which specify the terminal types (as given by the TERM environment variable) the following declarations apply to. It is always possible to override a global declaration by a subsequent terminal-specific one.
The following statements are recognized; case is insignificant:
- TERM terminal-type
- Starts a terminal-specific section and specifies which terminal it applies to. Multiple TERM statements can be used to create a section which applies for several terminal types.
- COLOR yes|all|no|none|tty
- (Slackware only; ignored by GNU dircolors(1).) Specifies that colorization should always be enabled (yes or all), never enabled (no or none), or enabled only if the output is a terminal (tty). The default is no.
- EIGHTBIT yes|no
- (Slackware only; ignored by GNU dircolors(1).) Specifies that eight-bit ISO 8859 characters should be enabled by default. For compatibility reasons, this can also be specified as 1 for yes or 0 for no. The default is no.
- OPTIONS options
- (Slackware only; ignored by GNU dircolors(1).) Adds command-line options to the default ls command line. The options can be any valid ls command-line options, and should include the leading minus sign. Note that dircolors does not verify the validity of these options.
- NORMAL color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for normal (non-filename) text.
- FILE color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for a regular file.
- DIR color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for directories.
- LINK color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for a symbolic link.
- ORPHAN color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for an orphaned symbolic link (one which points to a nonexistent file). If this is unspecified, ls will use the LINK color instead.
- MISSING color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for a missing file (a nonexistent file which nevertheless has a symbolic link pointing to it). If this is unspecified, ls will use the FILE color instead.
- FIFO color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for a FIFO (named pipe).
- SOCK color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for a socket.
- DOOR color-sequence
- (Supported since fileutils 4.1) Specifies the color used for a door (Solaris 2.5 and later).
- BLK color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for a block device special file.
- CHR color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for a character device special file.
- EXEC color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for a file with the executable attribute set.
- LEFTCODE color-sequence
- Specifies the left code for non-ISO 6429 terminals (see below).
- RIGHTCODE color-sequence
- Specifies the right code for non-ISO 6429 terminals (see below).
- ENDCODE color-sequence
- Specifies the end code for non-ISO 6429 terminals (see below).
- *extension color-sequence
- Specifies the color used for any file that ends in extension.
- .extension color-sequence
- Same as *.extension. Specifies the color used for any file that ends in .extension. Note that the period is included in the extension, which makes it impossible to specify an extension not starting with a period, such as ~ for emacs backup files. This form should be considered obsolete.
ISO 6429 (ANSI) Color Sequences
Most color-capable ASCII terminals today use ISO 6429 (ANSI) color sequences, and many common terminals without color capability, including xterm and the widely used and cloned DEC VT100, will recognize ISO 6429 color codes and harmlessly eliminate them from the output or emulate them. ls uses ISO 6429 codes by default, assuming colorization is enabled.ISO 6429 color sequences are composed of sequences of numbers separated by semicolons. The most common codes are:
-
0 to restore default color 1 for brighter colors 4 for underlined text 5 for flashing text 30 for black foreground 31 for red foreground 32 for green foreground 33 for yellow (or brown) foreground 34 for blue foreground 35 for purple foreground 36 for cyan foreground 37 for white (or gray) foreground 40 for black background 41 for red background 42 for green background 43 for yellow (or brown) background 44 for blue background 45 for purple background 46 for cyan background 47 for white (or gray) background
Not all commands will work on all systems or display devices.
ls uses the following defaults:
-
NORMAL 0 Normal (non-filename) text FILE 0 Regular file DIR 32 Directory LINK 36 Symbolic link ORPHAN undefined Orphaned symbolic link MISSING undefined Missing file FIFO 31 Named pipe (FIFO) SOCK 33 Socket BLK 44;37 Block device CHR 44;37 Character device EXEC 35 Executable file
A few terminal programs do not recognize the default properly. If all text gets colorized after you do a directory listing, change the NORMAL and FILE codes to the numerical codes for your normal foreground and background colors.
Other Terminal Types (Advanced Configuration)
If you have a color-capable (or otherwise highlighting) terminal (or printer!) which uses a different set of codes, you can still generate a suitable setup. To do so, you will have to use the LEFTCODE, RIGHTCODE, and ENDCODE definitions.When writing out a filename, ls generates the following output sequence: LEFTCODE typecode RIGHTCODE filename ENDCODE, where the typecode is the color sequence that depends on the type or name of file. If the ENDCODE is undefined, the sequence LEFTCODE NORMAL RIGHTCODE will be used instead. The purpose of the left- and rightcodes is merely to reduce the amount of typing necessary (and to hide ugly escape codes away from the user). If they are not appropriate for your terminal, you can eliminate them by specifying the respective keyword on a line by itself.
NOTE: If the ENDCODE is defined in the global section of the setup file, it cannot be undefined in a terminal-specific section of the file. This means any NORMAL definition will have no effect. A different ENDCODE can, however, be specified, which would have the same effect.
Escape Sequences
To specify control- or blank characters in the color sequences or filename extensions, either C-style \-escaped notation or stty-style ^-notation can be used. The C-style notation includes the following characters:
-
\a Bell (ASCII 7) \b Backspace (ASCII 8) \e Escape (ASCII 27) \f Form feed (ASCII 12) \n Newline (ASCII 10) \r Carriage Return (ASCII 13) \t Tab (ASCII 9) \v Vertical Tab (ASCII 11) \? Delete (ASCII 127) \nnn Any character (octal notation) \xnnn Any character (hexadecimal notation) \_ Space \\ Backslash (\) \^ Caret (^) \# Hash mark (#)
Please note that escapes are necessary to enter a space, backslash, caret, or any control character anywhere in the string, as well as a hash mark as the first character.
FILES
- /etc/DIR_COLORS
- System-wide configuration file.
- ~/.dir_colors
- Per-user configuration file.
This page describes the dir_colors file format as used in the fileutils-4.1 package; other versions may differ slightly.
NOTES
The default LEFTCODE and RIGHTCODE definitions, which are used by ISO 6429 terminals are:
-
LEFTCODE \e[ RIGHTCODE m
The default ENDCODE is undefined.

By Bruce Changlong Xu
Talking with both Eastern and Western Venture Capital firms has allowed me to understand that there is a fundamental information asymmetry that has allowed disparity to emerge between countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States and Asian Nations/Cities such as the Hong Kong SAR and Indonesia, where our company’s efforts will be focused on. This difference has been both bridged and accelerated with the rise of the internet and produced tensions that has resulted in artifacts such as the US-China trade war.
For every Google there will be a Baidu, for every Whatsapp there will be a Wechat and similarly for every Tik-Tok there will be a Douyin. The Chinese Tech industry has long been labelled as a copy-cat of that of the United States, however this doesn’t imply that the products offered are lesser than those that are offered in the West. The Chinese Market has completely different priorities than the Western Market, reflecting the different values that Chinese people have carried with them through the centuries. From an outsiders perspective it might seem like a mess, and indeed as Jack Ma, a world-class Chinese Entrepreneur states “中国金融没有系统性风险，因为没有系统!”. Jokes aside, it must be acknowledged that both systems have their individual strengths and weaknesses, and the Chinese Economy is undoubtedly a force – if not the force - to be reckoned with in the 21st Century.
The difference lies in the way the respective governments utilize information. The free flow of information is very much like the circular flow of money, transferring from households to firms, from public to private entities. Eastern and Western governments tend to have different approaches to information distribution, and both are extraordinarily effective in their respective contexts, it’s fruitless to compare. Whether information is clogged in a particular sector of the economy or flows freely like a river stream – the key is to not let information be lost, just as you wouldn’t want your money to needlessly be washed down the drain. Presque Partout Sino is a company that empowers clients with information and knowledge in a fastpaced technological world.
Shifting to a distantly related topic, I would like to touch upon Alzheimer’s Disease and the Information Paradox. The idea that physical information could be eradicated beyond the event horizon of a black hole has long been debated by Physicists, which led to Stephen Hawking’s groundbreaking formulation of “Hawking Radiation”. The core idea is too technical to be touched upon in a short article, but this drew me to the idea of whether information (our thoughts, memories and ambitions) really vanish during either early or late onset Alzheimer’s Disease, and if so where does it go? Observing patients and sufferers of Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most heartbreaking things in the world. I strongly believe that more should be done – more research, more funding, more thought and energy to combat the disease. We currently hypothesize what causes brain matter to atrophy in Alzheimer’s is the accumulation of Tau and Beta Amyloid proteins, as well as the relevance of the APOE Gene on Chromosome 19. But much beyond that, it’s a mystery. I strongly believe that more work should be done at the molecular level, as well as examining the biological risk factors that could induce Alzheimer’s down the line.
Our old are just as valuable as our young and even more so for the wisdom and experience that they carry. The voices of the distant past lie with our parents, grandparents, greatgrandparents and beyond – it is paramount to listen, respect and care for them.

The future painted for humanities majors might not be as bleak as the job market appears. Microsoft’s president Brad Smith claimed in his new book “one of the most important conclusions” of Microsoft’s recent research into artificial intelligence is that lessons from liberal arts will be critical to unleashing the full potential of AI.”
This echoes Steve Jobs claim back in 2011: “It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our heart sing.” Is there really a surprisingly important role for liberal arts majors in our society? I argue the abilities that the information age increasingly demands are indeed in humanity major’s skill sets.
Neil Postman in his renowned work Amusing Ourselves to Death claims, “what culture means by intelligence is derived from the character of its important forms of communication.” What does he mean by this? Think of an ancient society in which the means of communication is primarily oral. Every piece of information we know has to be transmitted by retelling. What would be the most-demanded skill in such a society? The answer is obvious: memorization. Only those who can remember information can communicate and create value. When the cost of acquiring information is high, being knowledgeable in a certain field can often stand out.
However, when computers and the internet made the mass storage of information and easy access to knowledge possible, the cost of acquiring information becomes extremely low. This means merely having the knowledge itself is not as marketable, and there’s little opportunity to arbitrage with pure information. But access doesn’t guarantee knowledge. Today, an 8-year-old can find and download mass data sets, but not everyone can manipulate the numbers to tell a convincing story. Fitting Postman’s idea to contemporary society, intelligence is defined by the ability to ask the right questions, extract useful and important information and make sound and convincing arguments based on it.
How does this relate to liberal arts education? I think that it is a great way to train these skills that professional education lacks. More practical disciplines like business and engineering are driven by model-thinking and logical reasoning based on set paradigms. For example, in economics we assume consumers respond negatively and producers positively to increasing price and derive all kinds of fancy theories. This perspective is illuminating and practical, but it seldom reflects upon the validity of its own assumptions.
Meanwhile, liberal arts education trains the student to identify problems by asking the right questions. For example, philosophers often use the method of taking a step back and reflecting upon the assumptions. They assume their own ignorance and continuously pursue questions with a toddler-like curiosity by examining the obvious. And when models can’t provide answers, this kind of thinking often yields innovative solutions. People give different names to this way of thinking, some call it “thinking outside the box,” others call it “critical thinking.” Herbert Marcuse in his book, One-Dimensional Man, calls this “another dimension” of thinking that runs counter to the current dimension of capitalist society. It enables individuals to think for themselves and free themselves from the status quo.
Moreover, liberal arts education trains students to extract important information and make good arguments. As I’ve mentioned, information itself is cheap and abundant, but the ability to interpret information is lacking. Sometimes people can’t bear the cost of informing themselves, other times they just don’t know how to do so. For example, few have read the 700 pages of investigative reports by Robert Mueller, although it is readily available. The cost of gathering information is lowered but it takes skill to make sense of it. Society needs people who are not only trained in critical reading but also skilled in communicating information in layman’s terms. Information itself doesn’t tell the story; people do.
The abilities mentioned above are all skills rather than knowledge. Skills are improved through practices and are not simply memorized. I often hear students complaining they learned nothing from their liberal arts degree. But they fail to understand that, for students on a non-academic track, the point is to develop skills. Every paper and reading asks the students to critically think of an issue, extract important information and make valid arguments. Humanities majors shouldn’t feel set back by their lack of technical knowledge. They should develop a habit of consistent learning and find professions that fit their skills. Combining their skill sets with professional experience and expertise, humanities majors might have a bumpy start but will certainly go a long way.

Frequent questions...
Am I the sort of person you are looking for?
Almost certainly! Our members are young and old, male and female, and from many ethnicities. We are a friendly informal club and we are not elitist or patronising to potential new members or those new to cycling.
How fit do I need to be?
You should be able to cycle 40 miles over rolling countryside in about three hours. If you are not sure of your fitness or have never done this distance before, we advise you that you complete some shorter rides first and build yourself up to 40 miles or so as you feel able. You don't need to be fast but you may need to build up some endurance. You are more than welcome to contact us for some informal guidance and we might have a suitable ride coming up that will allow you to test yourself without getting too far from home!
What sort of bike do I need?
Most of our members ride lightweight road bikes with drop handlebars but you are welcome to ride any bike you like so long as its roadworthy. Please bear in mind that mountain bikes or hybrids are heavier and less aerodynamic than road bikes so you’ll need to work harder to maintain the pace (and our main club rides rarely require the off-road capabilities of those types of bikes).
What happens if I can't keep up?
The group always rides at a pace that allows everyone to stay together (so we regroup at junctions, turn offs and the top of hills as necessary). If it quickly becomes apparent that you aren’t able to keep up or for any reason you cannot continue we’ll always assist you in getting back to the start. You won’t find yourself left at the side of the road on your own!
Do you stop during the ride?
Yes. The regular Sunday ride has a cafe stop which is generally about 20 miles into the ride. From there you have the option returning with some of the group to Enfield usually giving a total ride distance of 40 – 45 miles. However, if you want a longer ride, you can continue on to the designated lunch stop before returning, which tends to make the total ride distance between 60 – 80 miles.
Should I bring food and drink with me?
As an absolute minimum you should bring at least one water bottle (although some people prefer a sports drink) with you - preferably in a bottle cage attached to your bike for easy access. Just in case you need it we recommend that you have some food with you as well – either energy bars/gels, cereal or cake bars or perhaps bring a banana!
Do I need lycra clothing?
Riders can wear whatever they please, but cycle-specific clothing does provide some useful advantages such as; comfort for the movements you’ll be making, wicking and airflow, wind/shower proofing, aerodynamics and usually some easily accessible pockets to store the things you need with you.
Do I need to wear a helmet?
There is no law that requires you to wear a helmet but we would probably recommend that you do (just in case you fall from your bike at speed!).
What else should I bring with me?
As a minimum we’d say that you need: a spare inner tube, tyre levers and a pump, some cash for the café stop (some don’t accept cards) or emergencies, some ID and a mobile phone. In the event of a mechanical or some other problem there’s usually someone in the group that can help as may be required. Finally - please bring a set of lights if visibility is poor or there’s any chance that you might be riding home as it starts getting dark.
I’m ready to take the plunge - what do I do now?
Easy - just turn up a little before 9am on a Sunday morning at our meeting place in Enfield Town and introduce yourself to the ride leader! If you are feeling nervous or have never ridden in a bunch before we can arrange for an experienced member to stay close to you and show you the ropes without any pressure.
Do I have to join the club before I am allowed to participate in a ride?
No – we invite prospective members to accompany us on three rides before applying to join the club. Once you’ve completed three rides then you’ll be required to take out a membership.
What does it cost to join?
To join Southgate CC costs £50 – but this does include one of our club cycling jerseys. After that it currently costs just £20 each year to renew membership. In addition, SCC requires that all members join either the CTC, LCC or British Cycling (we are affiliated to all three) as these organisations provide important additional personal insurance cover.

EVO HTML to PDF Converter also allows you to easily convert in just a few lines of code HTML pages and HTML strings to raster images in PNG, JPG or BMP format. In this demo you can experiment with the basic settings
of the HTML to Image converter.
At the top of the demo you can choose the HTML document to convert which can be:
-
A HTML page from a given URL. The URL must be accessible from the computer where the converter runs. If the page requires authentication or if you are using a proxy server to access Internet
then you have to set the converter properties accordingly as described in documentation
-
A HTML string. When you convert a HTML string you also have the option to specify a base URL that will be used
by converter to resolve the relative URLs found in the HTML string to fully qualified URLs. If your HTML string uses only fully qualified URLs then this parameter is not necessary
The basic options you can set in this demo are grouped in a few categories.
HTML Viewer Options
-
HTML Viewer Width. This option is the equivalent in converter of the browser window width. When the browser window width is changed the HTML content
displayed inside the window can have a different layout and something similar happens when you change the HTML Viewer width of the converter. At a given viewer width, the converter will
capture by default the whole height of the HTML content, but you can set the HTML Viewer height to capture only the top part of the HTML page
-
HTML Viewer Height. This option is the equivalent in converter of the browser window height and can be used to limit the conversion to the top part of the HTML page. If this property is
not set the entire page will be converted
Image Options
-
Image Format. This option allows you select the output image format. You can choose between PNG, JPG and BMP
-
Transparent Background. This option allows you choose if the image background is transparent or not. This option is available only for PNG format
Navigation Options
-
Navigation Timeout. This option represents the maximum time to wait for a web page to be loaded by converter. If the web page cannot be loaded in this time interval the
converter will throw an exception
-
Delay Conversion. This option represents an additional time to wait after the HTML page was loaded to allow the asynchronous operations to finish before starting to
capture the HTML content. If you cannot estimate the additional time to wait then you have the option to manually trigger the conversion

Also starring alongside Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia and Chalotra’s Yennefer are 17-year-old Freya Allan as Ciri, Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe, Mimi Ndiweni as fledgling sorceress Fringilla, Sabrina as Therica Wilson-Read, Millie Brady as outcast Princess Renfri, Adam Levy as the druid Mousesack, as well as Björn Hlynur Haraldsson as Queen Calanthe’s husband, the knight Eist, and MyAnna Buring as Tissaia, head of the magical academy.
Based on the best-selling fantasy series, The Witcher is an epic tale of fate and family. Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.
Schmidt Hissrich will serve as executive producer and showrunner for The Witcher. Sean Daniel is set to executive produce under the Sean Daniel Company together with his partner Jason Brown. Additionally, Tomek Baginski and Jarek Sawko of Platige Image will executive produce as well.
The Witcher will hit Netflix on Friday, December 20. What do you think about the new The Witcher stills? Cast your spells in the comment section below!
