An old fashioned bistro dish that is well worth reviving. You could substitute the pork for chicken breasts.
For the ketchup, place the vinegar, bay leaf, coriander, cinnamon and sugar into a heavy-based saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add all of the remaining tomato ketchup ingredients, except the cornflower, and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking or burning.
Once boiling, reduce the temperature and simmer, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes. Be careful the mixture doesn't burn or catch on the base of the pan as this will ruin the sauce.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a food processor and blend until smooth. Push the sauce through a sieve into a bowl and allow to cool completely.
If you find the ketchup is too thin once cold, place into a pan and boil until thickened, stirring frequently. If necessary, add half a teaspoon of cornflour mixed to a paste with water. This will prevent the tomato water separating from the ketchup, but be careful not to make it too starchy and thick.
For the pork, heat the oil in a large saucepan or a deep fat fryer to 190C/375F.
Place the pork fillet between two pieces of cling film then bash with a rolling pin or meat hammer until just 5mm/¼in thick.
Remove the cling film and lay the cheese over one half of the pork then lay the ham on top of it. Flip the other side of the pork over the top to cover the ham.
Pass through the flour, then the beaten eggs and finally the breadcrumbs.
Carefully lay the pork into the fat fryer and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden-brown and cooked all the way through.
Remove and drain onto kitchen paper then season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper.
For the fries, carefully drop the potato julienne into the fat fryer in batches and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain onto kitchen paper then season with salt and a little black pepper.
Place the pork onto the plate, pile the fries along side then finish with a dollop of ketchup, sprig of parsley and wedge of lemon.


The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Grade: 93
Probably the best of the "Star Wars" series, "The Empire Strikes Back" was the sequel to the immensely successful "Star Wars" film from 1977. The follow-up retains the strengths of the original: great sets, costumes, cinematography and special effects. The story is even tighter and with more action than "Star Wars", and there is plenty of quality comic relief. Upon its release, "The Empire Strikes Back" became the second highest grossing film of all time, with only "Star Wars" ahead of it.
The theme once again is good versus evil. Evil is represented by Darth Vader (chillingly voiced by James Earl Jones), made more imposing by his black cape and helmet. Vader represents the Empire, which is bent on interstellar domination. Battling Vader is Jedi master Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), cynical but passionate Han Solo (Harrison Ford), lovely but humorless Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), marvelous clumsy comic relief invention and robot C3PO (voiced by Anthony Daniels), feisty, bleeping robot R2D2, and incoherent but endearingly loyal Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew).
Skywalker takes time out from battling the Empire to receive training from wise, aged Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz), while Solo and company try to hide from the Empire on a planet run by the unpredictable Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams).
"The Empire Strikes Back" is a highly entertaining film. It is difficult and even pointless to look for flaws, although one could ask why only a handful of creatures can effectively use the Force, and one can wonder if those who can use the Force constitute an exclusive club that one can still attend even after death. You may conclude that Imperial Stormtroopers are all really bad shots and should attend remedial marksmanship classes, while their counterparts manning the controls of Empire ships share their inability to hit a target.
In the end, the viewing must discard a cynical approach to the film, and simply enjoy the production values that come from a massive budget and meticulous planning by producer George Lucas. The dual protagonists of Skywalker and Solo, working independently, with different goals and methods, and yet acting in concert against the Empire, creates much more variety and depth than found in a typical action film. Minor elements of the film, such as Vader's method of promoting Empire officers, and his sinister pleasure in serving Solo to the Alien bounty hunter, work very well. And comic relief is always around the corner, especially from C3PO, but also from Yoda and Solo.

Everything starts with the experience and knowledge that you bring to the table. The resume review informs the advice we provide, and we help you craft the resume so that it stands out.
The Product Manager role requires a diverse set of skills. It is sometimes required that you acquire another skillset (or more) to increase your chances of success.
Standout from the competition. We'll discuss key ways to set-up your job search to maximize impact so that you can more effectively target companies and secure an interview.
We'll help you identify the most impactful stories to share. Every company not named Google asks Behavioral questions during the interview. Practice your responses and learn to better craft your story. Each mock interview is run the same way you'll experience it live.
Learn to put it all together with proven tips and frameworks. The distinguishing part of the product manager interview is the Product / case questions which require a cross-section of areas such as business, analytics, engineering, and design. Each mock interview is run the same way you'll experience it live.
Hit your target. When you receive an offer, learn what is or is not expected so that you can feel good when you negotiate and accept the offer. Or if it makes more sense to decline the offer, we'll help you strategize that conversation.
We provide a complete Career Coach package of resume review, candidacy assessment, interview prep, and offer negotiation. Save time interviewing and become a better story teller.
The way you communicate your knowledge and experience is important, both with your resume and your interviews. A foundation of high-quality storytelling is reinforced in each session so that you can craft engaging responses to common questions.
Working with a Career Coach means that you receive instant feedback while the conversation is fresh. In each session, you'll make noticeable changes to what you communicate that not only help 'get the marbles out' but that also helps clarify your message.
The time is yours, so you decide what we focus on during the session. This allows you to ensure specialized attention on your weaker areas. These targeted practice sessions also enable you to move at your own pace.
You can schedule sessions up to the day before you want the session, so if there's an interview you just learned about or an offer with a deadline, someone will be able to help.
Each question type is designed to test different components of the essential skills every product manager needs. Your performance on these questions, not only directly effects the hiring decision but also the compensation package. Career Amplifier can help you navigate these questions.
One of the most common product manager questions asked is 'pick a product that you like, and name one improvement'. It's a deceptively simple question that you are fully in control of. Frameworks and how you structure your response matters. A lack of preparation is noticeable, but the good news is that you can reuse your idea in future interviews.
This is the traditional product manager question where you are asked to design a refrigerator for a blind person. It requires a general understanding of technology to do well, and it is intended to assess your organization, framework, and prioritization skills.
For this question, the interviewer has you imagine that you're the PM in charge of a product. What do you launch next? You'll want to use a similar framework to how you practice with Product Design questions. This one can be difficult since the interviewer likely asks this question of every candidate and is able to quickly identify if your solution is strong or not.
There's often an assessment of your analytical skills. In the Facebook product manager interview, it's called 'Execution'. The interviewer provides a scenario where a metric has increased or decreased and you need to decide what to do next. Being able to imagine different possibilities requires a solid understanding of how the product works so that you can identify various options as you narrow down your answer.
Google product manager interviews often include an estimation question. While this is not a question type that you should prepare for heavily, it's one you should practice at least once prior to a Google PM interview.

Abstract: A framework is introduced for assessing the encoding accuracy and the discriminational ability of a population of neurons upon simultaneous presentation of multiple stimuli. Minimal square estimation errors are obtained from a Fisher information analysis in an abstract compound space comprising the features of all stimuli. Even for the simplest case of linear superposition of responses and Gaussian tuning, the symmetries in the compound space are very diﬀerent from those in the case of a single stimulus. The analysis allows for a quantitative description of attentional eﬀects and can be extended to include neural nonlinearities such as nonclassical receptive ﬁelds. 1

Configuring Kafka serializers/deserializers in Java clients
This chapter provides detailed information on how to configure Kafka SerDes in your producer and consumer Java client applications:
Apicurio Registry serializer/deserializer configuration in client applications
You can configure specific client serializer/deserializer (SerDe) services and schema lookup strategies directly in a client application using the example constants shown in this section. Alternatively, you can configure the corresponding Apicurio Registry application properties in a file or an instance.
The following sections show examples of commonly used SerDe constants and configuration options.
Configuration for SerDe services
public class SerdeConfig {
public static final String REGISTRY_URL = "apicurio.registry.url"; (1)
public static final String ID_HANDLER = "apicurio.registry.id-handler"; (2)
public static final String ENABLE_CONFLUENT_ID_HANDLER = "apicurio.registry.as-confluent"; (3)
| 1 | The required URL of Apicurio Registry. |
| 2 | Extends ID handling to support other ID formats and make them compatible with Apicurio Registry SerDe services.
For example, changing the default ID format from Long to Integer supports the Confluent ID format. |
| 3 | Simplifies the handling of Confluent IDs. If set to true , an Integer is used for the global ID lookup.
The setting should not be used with the ID_HANDLER option. |
-
For more details on configuration options, see Apicurio Registry serializer/deserializer configuration properties
Configuration for SerDe lookup strategies
public class SerdeConfig {
public static final String ARTIFACT_RESOLVER_STRATEGY = "apicurio.registry.artifact-resolver-strategy"; (1)
public static final String SCHEMA_RESOLVER = "apicurio.registry.schema-resolver"; (2)
...
| 1 | Java class that implements the artifact resolver strategy and maps between the Kafka SerDe and artifact ID. Defaults to the topic ID strategy. This is only used by the serializer class. |
| 2 | Java class that implements the schema resolver. Defaults to DefaultSchemaResolver . This is used by the serializer and deserializer classes. |
-
For more details on look up strategies, see Validating schemas using Kafka client serializers/deserializers in Java clients
-
For more details on configuration options, see Apicurio Registry serializer/deserializer configuration properties
Configuration for Kafka converters
public class SerdeBasedConverter<S, T> extends SchemaResolverConfigurer<S, T> implements Converter, Closeable {
public static final String REGISTRY_CONVERTER_SERIALIZER_PARAM = "apicurio.registry.converter.serializer"; (1)
public static final String REGISTRY_CONVERTER_DESERIALIZER_PARAM = "apicurio.registry.converter.deserializer"; (2)
| 1 | The required serializer to use with the Apicurio Registry Kafka converter. |
| 2 | The required deserializer to use with the Apicurio Registry Kafka converter. |
-
For more details, see the SerdeBasedConverter Java class
Configuration for different schema types

How to configure different client serializer/deserializer types
When using schemas in your Kafka client applications, you must choose which specific schema type to use, depending on your use case. Apicurio Registry provides SerDe Java classes for Apache Avro, JSON Schema, and Google Protobuf. The following sections explain how to configure Kafka applications to use each type.
You can also use Kafka to implement custom serializer and deserializer classes, and leverage Apicurio Registry functionality using the Apicurio Registry REST Java client.
Kafka application configuration for serializers/deserializers
Using the SerDe classes provided by Apicurio Registry in your Kafka application involves setting the correct configuration properties. The following simple Avro examples show how to configure a serializer in a Kafka producer application and how to configure a deserializer in a Kafka consumer application.
// Create the Kafka producer
private static Producer<Object, Object> createKafkaProducer() {
Properties props = new Properties();
// Configure standard Kafka settings
props.putIfAbsent(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, SERVERS);
props.putIfAbsent(ProducerConfig.CLIENT_ID_CONFIG, "Producer-" + TOPIC_NAME);
props.putIfAbsent(ProducerConfig.ACKS_CONFIG, "all");
// Use Apicurio Registry-provided Kafka serializer for Avro
props.putIfAbsent(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class.getName());
props.putIfAbsent(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, AvroKafkaSerializer.class.getName());
// Configure the Apicurio Registry location
props.putIfAbsent(SerdeConfig.REGISTRY_URL, REGISTRY_URL);
// Register the schema artifact if not found in the registry.
props.putIfAbsent(SerdeConfig.AUTO_REGISTER_ARTIFACT, Boolean.TRUE);
// Create the Kafka producer
Producer<Object, Object> producer = new KafkaProducer<>(props);
return producer;
}
// Create the Kafka consumer
private static KafkaConsumer<Long, GenericRecord> createKafkaConsumer() {
Properties props = new Properties();
// Configure standard Kafka settings
props.putIfAbsent(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, SERVERS);
props.putIfAbsent(ConsumerConfig.GROUP_ID_CONFIG, "Consumer-" + TOPIC_NAME);
props.putIfAbsent(ConsumerConfig.ENABLE_AUTO_COMMIT_CONFIG, "true");
props.putIfAbsent(ConsumerConfig.AUTO_COMMIT_INTERVAL_MS_CONFIG, "1000");
props.putIfAbsent(ConsumerConfig.AUTO_OFFSET_RESET_CONFIG, "earliest");
// Use Apicurio Registry-provided Kafka deserializer for Avro
props.putIfAbsent(ConsumerConfig.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringDeserializer.class.getName());
props.putIfAbsent(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, AvroKafkaDeserializer.class.getName());
// Configure the Apicurio Registry location
props.putIfAbsent(SerdeConfig.REGISTRY_URL, REGISTRY_URL);
// No other configuration needed because the schema globalId the deserializer uses is sent
// in the payload. The deserializer extracts the globalId and uses it to look up the schema
// from the registry.
// Create the Kafka consumer
KafkaConsumer<Long, GenericRecord> consumer = new KafkaConsumer<>(props);
return consumer;
}

Configure Avro SerDes with Apicurio Registry
This topic explains how to use the Kafka client serializer and deserializer (SerDes) classes for Apache Avro.
Apicurio Registry provides the following Kafka client SerDes classes for Avro:
-
io.apicurio.registry.serde.avro.AvroKafkaSerializer
-
io.apicurio.registry.serde.avro.AvroKafkaDeserializer
You can configure the Avro serializer class with the following:
-
Apicurio Registry URL
-
Artifact resolver strategy
-
ID location
-
ID encoding
-
Avro datum provider
-
Avro encoding
The serializer passes the unique ID of the schema as part of the Kafka message so that consumers can use the correct schema for deserialization. The ID can be in the message payload or in the message headers. The default location is the message payload. To send the ID in the message headers, set the following configuration property:
props.putIfAbsent(SerdeConfig.ENABLE_HEADERS, "true")
The property name is apicurio.registry.headers.enabled
.
You can customize how the schema ID is encoded when passing it in the Kafka message body. Set the apicurio.registry.id-handler
configuration property to a class that implements the io.apicurio.registry.serde.IdHandler
interface. Apicurio Registry provides the following implementations:
-
io.apicurio.registry.serde.DefaultIdHandler
: Stores the ID as an 8-byte long -
io.apicurio.registry.serde.Legacy4ByteIdHandler
: Stores the ID as an 4-byte integer
Apicurio Registry represents the schema ID as a long, but for legacy reasons, or for compatibility with other registries or SerDe classes, you might want to use 4 bytes when sending the ID.
Avro provides different datum writers and readers to write and read data. Apicurio Registry supports three different types:
-
Generic
-
Specific
-
Reflect
The Apicurio Registry AvroDatumProvider
is the abstraction of which type is used, where DefaultAvroDatumProvider
is used by default.
You can set the following configuration options:
-
apicurio.registry.avro-datum-provider
: Specifies a fully-qualified Java class name of theAvroDatumProvider
implementation, for exampleio.apicurio.registry.serde.avro.ReflectAvroDatumProvider
-
apicurio.registry.use-specific-avro-reader
: Set totrue
to use a specific type when usingDefaultAvroDatumProvider
When using Avro to serialize data, you can use the Avro binary encoding format to ensure the data is encoded in as efficient a format as possible. Avro also supports encoding the data as JSON, which makes it easier to inspect the payload of each message, for example, for logging or debugging.
You can set the Avro encoding by configuring the apicurio.registry.avro.encoding
property with a value of JSON
or BINARY
. The default is BINARY
.
You must configure the Avro deserializer class to match the following configuration settings of the serializer:
-
Apicurio Registry URL
-
ID encoding
-
Avro datum provider
-
Avro encoding
See the serializer section for these configuration options. The property names and values are the same.
|
The following options are not required when configuring the deserializer:
|
The deserializer class can determine the values for these options from the message. The strategy is not required because the serializer is responsible for sending the ID as part of the message.
The ID location is determined by checking for the magic byte at the start of the message payload. If that byte is found, the ID is read from the message payload using the configured handler. If the magic byte is not found, the ID is read from the message headers.
When working with Avro messages and a schema with nested records, a new artifact is registered per nested record. For example, the following TradeKey
schema includes a nested Exchange
schema:
{
"namespace": "com.kubetrade.schema.trade",
"type": "record",
"name": "TradeKey",
"fields": [
{
"name": "exchange",
"type": "com.kubetrade.schema.common.Exchange"
},
{
"name": "key",
"type": "string"
}
]
}
{
"namespace": "com.kubetrade.schema.common",
"type": "enum",
"name": "Exchange",
"symbols" : ["GEMINI"]
}
When using these schemas with Avro SerDes, two artifacts are created in Apicurio Registry, one for the TradeKey
schema and one for the Exchange
schema. Whenever a message using the TradeKey
schema is serialized or deserialized, both schemas are retrieved, allowing you to split your definitions into different files.

Configure JSON Schema SerDes with Apicurio Registry
This topic explains how to use the Kafka client serializer and deserializer (SerDes) classes for JSON Schema.
Apicurio Registry provides the following Kafka client SerDes classes for JSON Schema:
-
io.apicurio.registry.serde.jsonschema.JsonSchemaKafkaSerializer
-
io.apicurio.registry.serde.jsonschema.JsonSchemaKafkaDeserializer
Unlike Apache Avro, JSON Schema is not a serialization technology, but is instead a validation technology. As a result, configuration options for JSON Schema are quite different. For example, there is no encoding option, because data is always encoded as JSON.
You can configure the JSON Schema serializer class as follows:
-
Apicurio Registry URL
-
Artifact resolver strategy
-
Schema validation
The only non-standard configuration property is JSON Schema validation, which is enabled by default. You can disable this by setting
apicurio.registry.serde.validation-enabled
to "false"
. For example:
props.putIfAbsent(SerdeConfig.VALIDATION_ENABLED, Boolean.FALSE)
You can configure the JSON Schema deserializer class as follows:
-
Apicurio Registry URL
-
Schema validation
-
Class for deserializing data
You must provide the location of Apicurio Registry so that the schema can be loaded. The other configuration is optional.
| Deserializer validation only works if the serializer passes the global ID in the Kafka message, which will only happen when validation is enabled in the serializer. |
The JSON Schema SerDes cannot discover the schema from the message payload, so the schema artifact must be registered beforehand, and this also applies artifact references.
Depending on the content of the schema, if the $ref
value is a URL, the SerDes try to resolve the referenced schema using that URL, and then validation works as usual, validating the data against the main schema, and validating the nested value against the nested schema. Support for referencing artifacts in Apicurio Registry has also been implemented.
For example, the following citizen.json
schema references the city.json
schema:
{
"$id": "https://example.com/citizen.schema.json",
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"title": "Citizen",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"firstName": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The citizen's first name."
},
"lastName": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The citizen's last name."
},
"age": {
"description": "Age in years which must be equal to or greater than zero.",
"type": "integer",
"minimum": 0
},
"city": {
"$ref": "city.json"
}
}
}
{
"$id": "https://example.com/city.schema.json",
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"title": "City",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The city's name."
},
"zipCode": {
"type": "integer",
"description": "The zip code.",
"minimum": 0
}
}
}
In this example, a given citizen has a city. In Apicurio Registry, a citizen artifact with a reference to the city artifact is created using the name city.json
. In the SerDes, when the citizen schema is fetched, the city schema is also fetched because it is referenced from the citizen schema. When serializing/deserializing data, the reference name is used to resolve the nested schema, allowing validation against the citizen schema and the nested city schema.

Configure Protobuf SerDes with Apicurio Registry
This topic explains how to use the Kafka client serializer and deserializer (SerDes) classes for Google Protobuf.
Apicurio Registry provides the following Kafka client SerDes classes for Protobuf:
-
io.apicurio.registry.serde.protobuf.ProtobufKafkaSerializer
-
io.apicurio.registry.serde.protobuf.ProtobufKafkaDeserializer
You can configure the Protobuf serializer class as follows:
-
Apicurio Registry URL
-
Artifact resolver strategy
-
ID location
-
ID encoding
-
Schema validation
For details on these configuration options, see the following sections:
You must configure the Protobuf deserializer class to match the following configuration settings in the serializer:
-
Apicurio Registry URL
-
ID encoding
The configuration property names and values are the same as for the serializer.
|
The following options are not required when configuring the deserializer:
|
The deserializer class can determine the values for these options from the message. The strategy is not required because the serializer is responsible for sending the ID as part of the message.
The ID location is determined by checking for the magic byte at the start of the message payload. If that byte is found, the ID is read from the message payload using the configured handler. If the magic byte is not found, the ID is read from the message headers.
The Protobuf deserializer does not deserialize to your exact Protobuf Message implementation,
but rather to a DynamicMessage instance. There is no appropriate API to do otherwise.
|
When a complex Protobuf message with an import
statement is used, the imported Protobuf messages are stored in Apicurio Registry as separate artifacts. Then when Apicurio Registry gets the main schema to check a Protobuf message, the referenced schemes are also retrieved so the full message schema can be checked and serialized.
For example, the following table_info.proto
schema file includes the imported mode.proto
schema file:
syntax = "proto3";
package sample;
option java_package = "io.api.sample";
option java_multiple_files = true;
import "sample/mode.proto";
message TableInfo {
int32 winIndex = 1;
Mode mode = 2;
int32 min = 3;
int32 max = 4;
string id = 5;
string dataAdapter = 6;
string schema = 7;
string selector = 8;
string subscription_id = 9;
}
syntax = "proto3";
package sample;
option java_package = "io.api.sample";
option java_multiple_files = true;
enum Mode {
MODE_UNKNOWN = 0;
RAW = 1;
MERGE = 2;
DISTINCT = 3;
COMMAND = 4;
}
In this example, two Protobuf artifacts are stored in Apicurio Registry, one for TableInfo
and one for Mode
. However, because Mode
is part of TableInfo
, whenever TableInfo
is fetched to check a message in the SerDes, Mode
is also returned as an artifact referenced by TableInfo
.

Two-factor Authentication
Our Kerberos implementation supports three forms of two-factor authentication: TOTP, HOTP, and Yubikey. In addition, Google authenticator can be used, as in the past.
TOTP and HOTP both work with an application on your phone or other device. The application displays a 6-digit number, which you need to add at the end of your password to login.
TOTP and HOTP use slightly different algorithms. TOTP is based on the time. The same code works for about 30 sec. HOTP is based on count. That is, the next number applies no matter when you use it. That means you can generate numbers from HOTP and keep them in your wallet. With TOTP you need your phone with you to login.
There are things to think about before using two-factor authentication. See the section at the end.
For more detailed documentation, see the Redhat one-time password documentation.
Enabling Two-factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication uses "tokens." For TOTP and HOTP, a token is simply an item that shows in your mobile app. The same mobile app can have tokens for many different systems. You can also have more than one token for a system, e.g. one for TOTP and one for HOTP.
To enable two-factor authentication, log into one of our systems. To add a TOTP token, type
ipa otptoken-addThis command will display a QR code. In the phone app, hit the QR icon and use the camera to scan the QR code displayed. This uses TOTP. To add a HOTP token, use
ipa otptoken-add --type=hotp
Yubikey is a physical device that you carry with you and plug into a USB port. If you have a Yubikey, you can use it with our system. Insert your key, and then type the command
ipa otptoken-add-yubikey
If you use Yubikey, we recommend also using the other type of OTP, since Yubikey won't let you ssh from a non-CS system such as your home computer.
Mobile Device Clients
Clients for TOTP and HOTP are available for many devices. For IOS and Android, look for "FreeOTP" in the appropriate app store. The ipa otptoken-add command will display a QR code, which you scan with the phone application to configure it.
Because the TOTP and HOTP standards are also used by Google authenticator, you can also use a Google authenticator implementation on your device. For devices other than IOS and Android, we recommend looking for a Google authenticator implementation.
USING THE CLIENT
FreeOTP on your mobile device will display a 6-digit code. To login, type your normal password, adding the 6 digits to the end.
If you're worried about forgetting or losing your phone, one approach is to add both HOTP and TOTP. Generate several keys using HOTP and keep them in your wallet. Then use TOTP for normal use. If you lose your phone, you can login with the keys from your wallet until you can replace it or remove two-factor authentication. (Use "ipa otptoken-find" to list your tokens, and "ipa otptoken-del UNIQUEID" to remove one.)
You can also set up two-factor on more than one portable device, e.g. your phone and a tablet.
Possible problems
Two-factor authentication is inconsistent with Kerberos key tables. Cron support via kgetcred now works. Generally anyplace you could use a key table you should be able to use kgetcred instead.

Nobel Prize winner Handke admits having Yugoslav passport
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) - Nobel laurate Peter Handke has admitted that he had a Yugoslav passport in the 1990s, as Austrian authorities launched an investigation into whether he legally held on to his Austrian citizenship after obtaining the travel document.
Handke, who won the Nobel Prize for literature this year, told Belgrade newspaper Vecernje Novosti on Friday that he “got the passport to travel.”
Since Serbia and Montenegro split apart in 2006, Yugoslav passports are no longer valid.
Authorities in Austria’s Carinthia province have opened an investigation into the matter. Austrians taking another citizenship need to secure permission to keep their Austrian nationality.
Handke, 76, has long faced criticism for his vigorous defense of the Serbs during the 1990’s wars in the Balkans.

If we complicate things, they get less simple. - Professor at Cambridge University
... Simplifications have had a much greater long-range scientific impact than individual feats of ingenuity. The opportunity for simplification is very encouraging, because in all examples that come to mind the simple and elegant systems tend to be easier and faster to design and get right, more efficient in execution, and much more reliable than the more contrived contraptions that have to be debugged into some degree of acceptability ... Simplicity and elegance are unpopular because they require hard work and discipline to achieve and education to be appreciated. - Edsger W. Dijkstra
Complexity is a sign of technical immaturity. Simplicity of use is the real sign of a well designed product whether it is an ATM or a Patriot missile. - Daniel T. Ling
Simplicity is the soul of efficiency. - Austin Freeman, 'The Eye of Osiris'
La perfection est atteinte non quand il ne reste rien à ajouter, mais quand il ne reste rien à enlever. [Perfection is not achieved when nothing needs to be added, but when there is nothing left to remove.] - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming. - Brian Kernighan
Der Unterschied zwischen einem guten und einem schlechten Architekten besteht heute darin, daß dieser jeder Versuchung erliegt, während der rechte ihr standhält. [The difference between a good and a bad architect today is that one yields to every temptation, while the right one resists it.] - Ludwig Wittgenstein
Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it. - Alan J. Perlis

"What does it feel like, Stevie?" asked Dan from a thousand million miles away.
Stevie thought: I am lighter than air; I am helium. I am the thermodynamic tail that breaks free of the earth's grip. Whoof. He said: "Oh, wow."
"That good?" he or someone else heard Dan or someone else again say.
Stevie thought: I leap out and up, past the orbits of the planets and the clouds that surround them. Unprotected I am prodded and jostled by the sun's weak light, and after an eternity and no time at all I have passed through the universe and through the sensate.... He said: "Yeah, pretty good. A bit... strong."
Dan grinned, leaned over and plucked the joint out of Stevie's limp fingers. He pulled out his cheeks, felt the heat from the flame and in his mouth, then inhaled, knocking it back with as much cool air as he could. For the first time in months Stevie was stoned. And Dan had finally made it to London. These two events were, of course, connected: Dan had brought a half-ounce of opium-soaked stock to set fire to celebrate finally getting his arse down to Stevie's.  It was a myth that taxi drivers wouldn't frequent here; it was just that they charged as much to get to Borough as they did to get to Heathrow.
For Dan, a night of booze and joints, and listening to their combined most-recent, was something close to heaven. He'd been worried about Stevie all night, though. Was he bored? He didn't look bored, Dan thought, wobbling his head round towards his mate and trying to focus. He looked wankered. But was he secretly bored?
Dan had grown up in a tiny village that sounded like a minor enemy of Sherlock Holmes: Marston Ruthvale, population eight hundred and seven in every ten were sheep. Every morning a bus wound its way through the village and on to the nearest big town in time for shops to open; every evening it wound its way back, sometimes.
The first time anyone stayed over in the town—depending on how old they looked and how deep they could bark out an order for pints, when they were around fourteen years old—they came back changed. Marston Ruthvale's adults never noticed, or pretended not to notice, but you could always tell when a mate of yours had gone up to the town. It was as though that one small leap towards a metropolitan life had stoked a fire in their heart, and that fire lit a fuse behind your eyes, a tiny pinprick of light that, once seen, you could always recognise. Kids were effectively ruined by their first trip. Evenings spent hurling abuse at each other across the cenotaph, and sometimes abusing the monuments own battered stone surfaces, seemed suddenly empty and shallow. From then on, till the day you inevitably moved away, Bali Ha'i would whisper from over the next hill but one: come to me.
Dan knew that if anyone from Marston Ruthvale had that look in their eyes, it was him. But now Stevie had moved here permanently, Dan sometimes saw that same shining star in his friend's pupils, an order of magnitude brighter.
How long had he been lost in thought? Had Stevie noticed? Dan cleared his throat. "I can't believe you're living round here now, Stevie," he said. "Five gigs within five minutes' walk, every night. The Lounge down the road. Giolla's open till midnight."
Stevie nodded.  Can you blame us?"
Mimicking himself as an undergrad, Dan squeaked, "'What's the night-life like in Oxford?"
In response Stevie quoted the college union rep: "'Well, London's only an hour away!'"
They both started laughing. Dan felt more sure of himself when they were both laughing.
"You should move out here too, you know. I'm serious," he added, as Dan began muttering a chorus of yeahs. They tailed off into silence, and Dan tried to think of something shake off the depression that was crowding round him. He thought of it.
"Stevie. Oi, Stevie. Dare you."
"Nnh?"
"Bet you can't blag us both into The Lounge."
"What? You serious? That'd be no trouble, Danielo. Date your name."
"Tonight. Now."
There was a pause, and it stretched, and Dan thought: Christ.  He's changed and I've changed.  But Stevie's face was resisting the look of incredulity that threatened to sweep across it, and for a half-second Dan saw mischief look back at him. Finally, Stevie spoke.
"It's a half-hour's walk."
Dan shrugged. "I'll roll us another."
"I'll be asleep by then."
"I'll do it on the way. I'm magic like that."
"I'm too spaced to stand, let alone talk my way past Fat Tony."
"We'll lean on each other."
"You're not giving me a way out, are you?"
"Nope.  Unless you're..." (hands on an imaginary gunbelt, slung low over the hips, sat down so spoiling the effect) "... chicken."
Stevie sighed. Then he sighed again, mouthing "cunt" as he did so. Then he tensed in his chair and said:
"First to the street."
He was up first. Dan was still untangling his legs, but Stevie had to get his keys from the mantlepiece—thank God, he thought, he was still lucid enough to remember his keys—and as he swerved between Dan and the door, he was hit by a sofa cushion that knocked him off balance. Dan leapt for the door-handle, but Stevie bounced him with a shoulder and he ended up slamming the door shut. Stevie pulled it, and Dan, aside and ran for the front door, Dan reaching out to grab the tail of Steve's jacket.

SmartAnthill is an open IoT system which allows easy control over multiple microcontroller-powered devices, creating a home- or office-wide heterogeneous network out of these devices.
SmartAnthill system can be pretty much anything: from a system to control railway network model to an office-wide heating control and security system. As an open system, SmartAnthill can integrate together a wide range of devices beginning from embedded development boards and ending with off-the-shelf sensors and actuators. They can be connected via very different communication means - from wired (currently Serial, with CAN bus and Ethernet planned soon) to wireless (currently IEEE 802.15.4, with low-cost RF, Bluetooth Smart, ZigBee and WiFi planned soon).
All SmartAnthill devices within a system are controlled from the one place (such as PC or credit-card sized computer Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard or CubieBoard), with an optional access via Internet.
TouchDevelop combines a cross-platform browser-based IDE for the creation of mobile+cloud apps, an online programmer/user community, and an app store.
TouchDevelop makes learning programming exciting! You can write code directly on any device and you can directly use sensors and media via high-level APIs. It's easy to create games and apps, publish them or tweak those published by others. You write code in our touch-friendly editor where you compose programs by tapping on your screen, yet concepts you learn transfer to traditional languages such as Java, C# or Arduino.
TouchDevelop embraces the "Bring Your Own Device" revolution by providing a unified programming environment everywhere.
Our flagship product for makers is the LightBlue Bean. The Bean is a development board that makes it easy to start working with Bluetooth Low Energy. It's compatible with Arduino and very easy to get started with. We've written SDKs for iOS and OS X so makers can start building apps and prototyping full products the minute they open the box.
The Bean can be programmed from Windows, OS X, iOS and Android. iPads, iPhones and Androids compile Arduino sketches using the Bean Cloud Compiler. The Cloud Compiler leverages PlatformIO to reliably compile Bean sketches.
PlatformIO gives us access to Arduino libraries as well as user-requested libraries. Because PlatformIO distributes updates to both Arduino and its libraries, we can be sure that we're always up-to-date with new releases.
OpenEnergyMonitor design, build, manufacture and sell open-hardware for energy monitoring based on Arduino, ESP8266 and Raspberry Pi platforms.
We use PlatformIO to compile, build and test our hardware. PlatformIO gives us a replicable build environment which is easy to setup. Since are an open-source collaborative project it's important that all developers can reproduce builds using identical environment. We also use PlatfomIO and TravisCI to automate building, tested and releasing firmware updates, see blog Post. Example projects:
emonPi: RaspberryPi based energy monitoring unit.

ioprio_get, ioprio_set - get/set I/O scheduling class and priority
int ioprio_get(int which, int who);
int ioprio_set(int which, int who, int ioprio);
Note: There are no glibc wrappers for these system calls;
see NOTES.
The ioprio_get() and ioprio_set() system calls get and set the I/O
scheduling class and priority of one or more threads.
The which and who arguments identify the thread(s)
on which the system calls operate. The which argument determines how
who is interpreted, and has one of the following values:
- IOPRIO_WHO_PROCESS
- who is a process ID or thread ID identifying a single process or
thread. If who is 0, then operate on the calling thread.
- IOPRIO_WHO_PGRP
- who is a process group ID identifying all the members of a process
group. If who is 0, then operate on the process group of which the
caller is a member.
- IOPRIO_WHO_USER
- who is a user ID identifying all of the processes that have a
matching real UID.
If which is specified as IOPRIO_WHO_PGRP or
IOPRIO_WHO_USER when calling ioprio_get(), and more than one
process matches who, then the returned priority will be the highest
one found among all of the matching processes. One priority is said to be
higher than another one if it belongs to a higher priority class
(IOPRIO_CLASS_RT is the highest priority class;
IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE is the lowest) or if it belongs to the same
priority class as the other process but has a higher priority level (a lower
priority number means a higher priority level).
The ioprio argument given to ioprio_set() is a bit
mask that specifies both the scheduling class and the priority to be
assigned to the target process(es). The following macros are used for
assembling and dissecting ioprio values:
- IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(class, data)
- Given a scheduling class and priority (data), this macro
combines the two values to produce an ioprio value, which is
returned as the result of the macro.
- IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(mask)
- Given mask (an ioprio value), this macro returns its I/O
class component, that is, one of the values IOPRIO_CLASS_RT,
IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, or IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE.
- IOPRIO_PRIO_DATA(mask)
- Given mask (an ioprio value), this macro returns its
priority (data) component.
See the NOTES section for more information on scheduling classes
and priorities, as well as the meaning of specifying ioprio as 0.
I/O priorities are supported for reads and for synchronous
(O_DIRECT, O_SYNC) writes. I/O priorities are not supported
for asynchronous writes because they are issued outside the context of the
program dirtying the memory, and thus program-specific priorities do not
apply.
On success, ioprio_get() returns the ioprio value of the process
with highest I/O priority of any of the processes that match the criteria
specified in which and who. On error, -1 is returned, and
errno is set to indicate the error.
On success, ioprio_set() returns 0. On error, -1 is
returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
- EINVAL
- Invalid value for which or ioprio. Refer to the NOTES
section for available scheduler classes and priority levels for
ioprio.
- EPERM
- The calling process does not have the privilege needed to assign this
ioprio to the specified process(es). See the NOTES section for more
information on required privileges for ioprio_set().
- ESRCH
- No process(es) could be found that matched the specification in
which and who.
These system calls have been available on Linux since kernel 2.6.13.
These system calls are Linux-specific.
Glibc does not provide a wrapper for these system calls; call them using
syscall(2).
Two or more processes or threads can share an I/O context. This
will be the case when clone(2) was called with the CLONE_IO
flag. However, by default, the distinct threads of a process will not
share the same I/O context. This means that if you want to change the I/O
priority of all threads in a process, you may need to call
ioprio_set() on each of the threads. The thread ID that you would
need for this operation is the one that is returned by gettid(2) or
clone(2).
These system calls have an effect only when used in conjunction
with an I/O scheduler that supports I/O priorities. As at kernel 2.6.17 the
only such scheduler is the Completely Fair Queuing (CFQ) I/O scheduler.
If no I/O scheduler has been set for a thread, then by default the
I/O priority will follow the CPU nice value (setpriority(2)). In
Linux kernels before version 2.6.24, once an I/O priority had been set using
ioprio_set(), there was no way to reset the I/O scheduling behavior
to the default. Since Linux 2.6.24, specifying ioprio as 0 can be
used to reset to the default I/O scheduling behavior.
I/O schedulers are selected on a per-device basis via the special file
/sys/block/<device>/queue/scheduler.
One can view the current I/O scheduler via the /sys
filesystem. For example, the following command displays a list of all
schedulers currently loaded in the kernel:
$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop anticipatory deadline [cfq]
The scheduler surrounded by brackets is the one actually in use
for the device (sda in the example). Setting another scheduler is
done by writing the name of the new scheduler to this file. For example, the
following command will set the scheduler for the sda device to
cfq:
$ su
Password:
# echo cfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
Since version 3 (also known as CFQ Time Sliced), CFQ implements I/O nice levels
similar to those of CPU scheduling. These nice levels are grouped into three
scheduling classes, each one containing one or more priority levels:
- IOPRIO_CLASS_RT (1)
- This is the real-time I/O class. This scheduling class is given higher
priority than any other class: processes from this class are given first
access to the disk every time. Thus, this I/O class needs to be used with
some care: one I/O real-time process can starve the entire system. Within
the real-time class, there are 8 levels of class data (priority) that
determine exactly how much time this process needs the disk for on each
service. The highest real-time priority level is 0; the lowest is 7. In
the future, this might change to be more directly mappable to performance,
by passing in a desired data rate instead.
- IOPRIO_CLASS_BE (2)
- This is the best-effort scheduling class, which is the default for any
process that hasn't set a specific I/O priority. The class data (priority)
determines how much I/O bandwidth the process will get. Best-effort
priority levels are analogous to CPU nice values (see
getpriority(2)). The priority level determines a priority relative
to other processes in the best-effort scheduling class. Priority levels
range from 0 (highest) to 7 (lowest).
- IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE (3)
- This is the idle scheduling class. Processes running at this level get I/O
time only when no one else needs the disk. The idle class has no class
data. Attention is required when assigning this priority class to a
process, since it may become starved if higher priority processes are
constantly accessing the disk.
Refer to the kernel source file
Documentation/block/ioprio.txt for more information on the CFQ I/O
Scheduler and an example program.
Permission to change a process's priority is granted or denied based on two
criteria:
- Process ownership
- An unprivileged process may set the I/O priority only for a process whose
real UID matches the real or effective UID of the calling process. A
process which has the CAP_SYS_NICE capability can change the
priority of any process.
- What is the desired priority
- Attempts to set very high priorities (IOPRIO_CLASS_RT) require the
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. Kernel versions up to 2.6.24 also
required CAP_SYS_ADMIN to set a very low priority
(IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE), but since Linux 2.6.25, this is no longer
required.
A call to ioprio_set() must follow both rules, or the call
will fail with the error EPERM.
Glibc does not yet provide a suitable header file defining the function
prototypes and macros described on this page. Suitable definitions can be
found in linux/ioprio.h.

Its actually quite easy to make a movie of an Ecolab run. Each of the
base widgets of the instruments has a method called print
defined in the widgets namespace,
which will output a postscript representation of the widget to a
file. See gen-move.tcl for an example,
which produced these animated GIFs.
Once a series of postscript files are created, you can convert them into GIFs using the pstoimg1 utility that comes with LATEX2HTML, using something like the following2:
cp *.ps /tmp for i in *.ps; do pstoimg -gif $i; done cp /tmp/*.gif .
Finally, use gifmerge3 to produce an animated GIF.
gifmerge *.gif >movie.gif
An alternative is to produce an AVI file using the mencoder
software that comes as part of the
mplayer
package. First you need to prepare a collection of jpeg files:
for i in *.ps; do f=${i%%.ps} gs -sDEVICE=ppm -sOutputFile=$f.ppm -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -g700x400 -r50 $i cjpeg $f.ppm >$f.jpg doneYou can control the final size of the bitmap using the
-g
option to gs, and control the scale with the -r
option
(``pixels per inch''). Mplayer has problems if the bitmap is too
large, and if the dimensions are odd.
Finally, you can create an mpeg1 encoding using mencoder:
mencoder -mf on:type=jpeg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video \ \*.jpg -o movie.aviConsult the mencoder man page for more details on codec options.

Dhaka: Just two days before the balloting, BNP on Sunday demanded the Election Commission withdraw the Gazipur Superintendent of Police (SP) for ensuring a fair and impartial voting in the city corporation there on Tuesday. ‘We demanded that Gazipur SP Gazipur Harun-ur-Rashid be pulled out,’ BNP leader Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan told reporters after a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda at Nirbachan Bhaban, reports the UNB. During the meeting, a three-member BNP delegation, led by Moyeen Khan, also submitted to the CEC a letter of the party containing its various demands and observations for holding the election in a fair and acceptable manner. Moyeen Khan said the Gazipur SP is one of the main barriers to holding a credible election as he is playing a ‘partisan role and harassing BNP leaders and activists’. He warned the government that the next general election will be affected if the Gazipur election is not held in a fair and neutral manner. The BNP leader said they urged the Commission to exert its constitutional power as an independent body so that voters can cast their votes without any fear and obstacle. ‘It’s EC’s responsibility to protect people’s voting rights.’ He said they also urged the Commission to take step to stop harassment of BNP leaders and supports by police.

-
$A.reg
-
"$A.reg" provides direct access to all registered AccDC Objects using their unique "id".
-
Syntax
// Access the AccDC Object with the id "myObj"
var dc = $A.reg.myObj;
// Or
var dc = $A.reg['myObj'];
// Allowing you to invoke/modify/query methods/properties/data like so
dc.open();
// Or
$A.reg.myObj.open();
// Or
dc.role = 'Menu';
// Or using AccDC API method chaining
$A.reg.myObj
.open()
.applyFix(9)
.setDrag()
.parent
.css('background', 'url(img/planets/stars.jpg) no-repeat');
Important
-
View the "id" property in the Core API section for additional details regarding the declaration of a unique ID.
-
$A.find()
-
"$A.find()" loops through all registered AccDC Objects and executes a callback on each.
-
Parameters:
-
A String value containing one or more AccDC Object "id" values to match, or "*" to select all registered AccDC Objects.
(When entering multiple IDs, separate each with a comma)
-
The callback function that will be applied to all matching AccDC Objects.
(Both "this" and the first argument passed to the callback will be the matched AccDC Object instance.)
Syntax
// Execute a callback on a series of AccDC Objects
$A.find('myObj1,myObj2', function(dc){
alert(dc.role);
// Or
alert(this.role);
});
-
.accDCObj
-
The ".accDCObj" property is the DOM node for the AccDC Object framework.
-
Since ".accDCObj" includes the Automatic Accessibility Framework, content should never be added using the ".accDCObj" property;
An error will be generated if the Automatic Accessibility Framework is overwritten;
Use the "source", ".containerDiv", or ".content" properties to add content to an AccDC Object instead.
Syntax
// Access the accDCObj DOM node
$A([
{
runAfter: function(dc){
alert(dc.accDCObj.offsetHeight);
},
...
}
]);
// Or
alert($A.reg.myObj.accDCObj.offsetWidth);
Important
-
Use the AccDC Object ".css()" method to add/modify/retrieve inline style properties for ".accDCObj", which preserves method chaining.
-
As an alternative, the ".accDCObjId" property can be used to access the dynamically generated ID attribute for ".accDCObj". E.G.
var id = dc.accDCObjId;
// Or
var id = $A.reg.myObj.accDCObjId;
-
.containerDiv
-
The ".containerDiv" property is the DOM node where visually rendered content for an AccDC Object is stored.
-
All internal DOM node read/write modifications should be confined to the ".containerDiv" property to preserve the Automatic Accessibility Framework.
Syntax
$A([
{
runAfter: function(dc){
dc.containerDiv.appendChild(documentFragment);
},
...
}
]);
// Or
$A.reg.myObj.containerDiv.innerHTML = 'Error: Form field required.';
Important
-
The ".containerDivId" property can be used to access the dynamically generated ID attribute of ".containerDiv". E.G.
var id = dc.containerDivId;
// Or
var id = $A.reg.myObj.containerDivId;
-
.triggerObj
-
The "triggerObj" property is the DOM node for the triggering element after an AccDC Object is opened.
-
If the "trigger" property is not included during the setup process to automatically specify a particular triggering element, the "triggerObj" property must be manually set at runtime to allow for strategic DOM insertion.
The "triggerObj" property can optionally be changed to any other focusable DOM node after an AccDC Object is open to ensure that focus control moves appropriately when the AccDC Object is closed.
Syntax
$A([
{
runBefore: function(dc){
dc.triggerObj = document.getElementById('submitBtn');
},
...
}
]);
// Or
$A.reg.myObj.triggerObj = document.getElementById('submitBtn');
// Or to get the triggering element
$A([
{
runAfter: function(dc){
var triggeringElement = dc.triggerObj;
},
...
}
]);
// Or
var triggeringElement = $A.reg.myObj.triggerObj;
Important
-
The "triggerObj" property is not required to be set when the "isStatic" property is used to specify a static insertion point;
-
By default, when an AccDC Object is rendered using the "triggerObj" property as an insertion point, no inline styling is applied.
Use the "cssObj" property to assign persistent inline styles, or the "className" property to assign a persistent class.
-
The "autoPosition" and "autoFix" properties can be used to automatically calculate absolute, relative, and fixed positioning coordinates at runtime.
-
Changing the "triggerObj" property will not add the necessary event bindings to activate the AccDC Object at runtime;
"setTrigger()" must be used for this purpose.
-
Modifying the "triggerObj" property will directly affect the behavior of the "returnFocus" property;
-
Use the "targetObj" property to set a strategic insertion point that will not affect the behavior of the "returnFocus" property.
-
.targetObj
-
The ".targetObj" property is a DOM node that sets a strategic insertion point that will not affect the "triggerObj" or "returnFocus" properties.
-
If not set, the "triggerObj" property will automatically be used as the strategic insertion point for an AccDC Object.
Syntax
$A([
{
runBefore: function(dc){
dc.targetObj = dc.triggerObj.parentNode;
},
...
}
]);
// Or
$A.reg.myObj.targetObj = document.getElementById('table1');
Important
-
The "targetObj" property is ignored when the "isStatic" property is used to specify a static insertion point;
-
By default, when an AccDC Object is rendered using the "targetObj" property as an insertion point, no inline styling is applied.
Use the "cssObj" property to assign persistent inline styles, or the "className" property to assign a persistent class.
-
The "autoPosition" and "autoFix" properties can be used to automatically calculate absolute, relative, and fixed positioning coordinates at runtime.
-
Changing the "targetObj" property will not add the necessary event bindings to activate the AccDC Object at runtime;
"setTrigger()" must be used for this purpose.
-
Modifying the "targetObj" property will not affect the behavior of the "returnFocus" property;
-
Use the "triggerObj" property to set a strategic insertion point that will also affect the behavior of the "returnFocus" property.
-
NOTE: If the "targetObj" property is used to designate an insertion point that is too far removed from the triggering element within the DOM, it will present an accessibility issue for screen reader and keyboard only users.
Required: One or the other must be True:
-
The "triggerObj" property must be set to a focusable DOM node.
-
The "returnFocus" property must be set to False.
-
.setTrigger()
-
The "setTrigger()" method manually adds all triggering event bindings for an AccDC Object.
-
All prior event bindings for the AccDC Object will be removed when "setTrigger()" is invoked.
Syntax
$A([
{
runAfter: function(dc){
dc.setTrigger();
},
...
}
]);
// Or
$A.reg.myObj.setTrigger();
Important
-
Both of the properties "trigger" and "bind" must be set before "setTrigger()" is invoked.
-
.unsetTrigger()
-
The "unsetTrigger()" method manually removes all triggering event bindings for an AccDC Object.
-
Syntax
$A([
{
runAfter: function(dc){
dc.unsetTrigger();
},
...
}
]);
// Or
$A.reg.myObj.unsetTrigger();
-
.parent
-
The "parent" property is the object instance of the parent AccDC Object.
-
Syntax
$A([
{
runAfter: function(dc){
alert(dc.parent.role); // The role for the parent AccDC Object
},
...
}
]);
// Or
$A.reg.myObj.parent.close(); // Invokes the close method for the parent AccDC Object
-
.children
-
The "children" property is an array of all child AccDC Object instances.
-
Syntax
$A([
{
runAfter: function(dc){
alert(dc.children[0].role); // The role for the first child AccDC Object
},
...
}
]);
// Or
$A.reg.myObj.children[0].open(); // Invokes the open method for the first child AccDC Object
-
.siblings
-
The "siblings" property is an array of all AccDC Objects that were registered in the same array.
-
Syntax
$A([
{
runAfter: function(dc){
// Open the third AccDC Object at the same logical level
dc.siblings[2].open();
},

]);
// Or
$A.reg.myObj.siblings[2].open();

Syntax
$A([

Creating An EPUB WIth SVG Animation
The Workflow
Creating an EPUB with embedded SVG Animation is relatively easy, once you have worked out a reasonable workflow. It is very similar (for obvious reasons) to creating an EPUB withe embedded WebGL. For more infrormation follow that link. There are, however, a few differences.
Page Layout
All the pages are reflowable, but since SVG isn't, the outermost (root) SVG element has to have a viewBox attribute that will control how the SVG is scaled when the page is resized. For example, here is the <svg> element from the Bouncing Tiger demo:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
viewBox="0 0 720 960" preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin meet">
The biggest problem with this approach is that not all the browser engines handle the viewBox attribute correctly or consistently. But it works pretty well for the most part.
Also, like the WebGL EPUBs, each "chapter" consists of two files, both XHTML. One is the explanatory content while the other is just a simple wrapper that loads
Loading the SVG
The SVG content is separate files from the XHTML which embeds it. In theory, you can embed SVG content directly in the spine. This does work in some reading systems (e.g. Readium, of course) but even in the ones that it does work in, the handling of changes in page size are often spectacularly wrong. So it was simpler and more consistent to embed the SVG within XHTML.
It would have also been possible to embed the SVG inline within the XHTML but for code-maintenance reasons, it was simpler to have the SVG as separate files and load them via the object tag. Again, from the Bouncing Tiger demo:
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="../svg/bouncingtiger.svg" >

Unable to load the bouncingtiger.svg file

</object>
Formatting
Like in the WebGL EPUBs, PrismJS is ised to colorize the HTML, JavaScript and SVG code for better readability. This requires that each block of code to be colorized be wrapped in a  element and the language specified as part a CSS style, e.g.

Finally, all the illegal HTML characters need to be escaped (e.g. < etc.). This is a bit of a pain, especially where there is more HTML and SVG code than in the WebGL EPUBs since a fair amount of escaping has to be done.

We kinda lit.
We definitely lit.
We not lit anymore.
We met with Prof. Matthew Spencer, an electrical engineering professor at Harvey Mudd College, to get more insight and advice on how to refine the PCB layout. We all experienced the steep learning curve when dealing with actual implementation versus textbook knowledge. Our next meeting included the SLIA employees that clean the town; they are our main audience for this project. We gathered suggestions and derived contraints that we have to keep in mind during development of the system. For example, they would prefer to receive text messages rather than use a website and they also mentioned minimizing the amount of necessary cellular data in order to access the dashboard.
