Written statement to Parliament
A written ministerial statement about the first 16 Free School proposals, which are ready to progress to the next stage of the process.
Michael Gove MP, Secretary of State for Education, has today laid a written ministerial statement informing Parliament that the first 16 Free School proposals are ready to progress to the next stage of the process and develop a full business case and plan.
The statement outlines the next steps in the process for the proposers and lists the proposals approved to go forward to business case and plan stage in full.
Today I am announcing the first 16 Free School proposals to progress to the next stage of the process and develop a full business case and plan.
We need to reform our education system if we are to accelerate improvement to keep pace with the highest performing systems of the world and ensure that every pupil growing up in this country gets a better chance of achieving their potential. Free Schools form an integral part of the Government’s education policy to improve choice for parents and raise standards for all young people.
The proposals I have agreed to move forward to business case and plan stage today represent a diverse mix: there are parent-led, community-led, sponsor-led and teacher-led proposals; there are faith and non-faith proposals; there are proposals for large secondary schools and for small primary schools. All of these proposals have been driven by demand from local people for improved choice for their young people and I am delighted that so many promising proposals have come forward at such an early stage.
I hope that many of the projects progressing today will become the first Free Schools in September 2011. This is a challenging timescale, and some groups may decide that it is preferable to open at a later date for practical reasons. To support groups in meeting the robust requirements of the business case and plan stage, we will now be providing the proposers that progress to this stage with support co-ordinated by a named contact within my Department. At the next stage, proposers will need to make a fully detailed business case for the new school and set out their plans for opening and operating the proposed school. I will make an assessment based on this final business case on whether to allow a new school to be set up.
The proposals announced today are just the start of our Free Schools programme. My Department has received a number of promising proposals for 2012 and 2013 and we will be making further announcements about taking these forward in due course. New proposals are frequently being submitted to the Department. We want it to be open to a diverse range of groups to come forward with proposals which meet the needs of their local area, and for proposals to progress at the pace which is right for both proposers and for parents and young people in the local area.
The 16 proposals approved to go forward to business case and plan stage are (in alphabetical order):
I will update the House as these projects progress further.

What we planned
-
Improve the support of TPM2 in coreboot and SeaBIOS. Currently there is only the TCPA (TPM1.2) log support in coreboot. Additionally SeaBIOS overwrites existing entries in TPM2 log area.
cbmem
utility also lacks support for displaying TPM2 log area.WORK IN PROGRESS
-
Validate ESXi 6.7. We have got information that booting ESXi 6.7 U2 fails on apu2 and are investigating the issue.
WORK IN PROGRESS
-
Reorganize runtime configuration by making it persistent across updates and accessible from user space. Also prepare a tool for offline binary modification.
WORK IN PROGRESS
-
Vital Product Data (VPD) support. User will have possibility to store and change VPD configuration in Read-Write section of SPI flash. Moreover, default VPD keys and values will be stored in Read-Only region to protect data against corruption. Also, sortbootorder runtime configuration will be stored in VPD Read-Write section, so access to it will be possible in OS via dedicated util.

Should we ditch the fugly?
- We wouldn't have to follow two abstraction holes.
- The variation is stored in the actual markup rather than creating maps and organizing the fuglies.
- Less front-end code, more mapping with PHP in template.php
- Your front-end is abstraction is free of Drupalisms and other arms of organization can use it.

Have you ever been to a rave party? Have you ever smoked a lot of dope, done some Ecstacy or just gotten really ripped with some of your best buddies over a weekend? Well, I hope for your sake that you have, since the fantasy world of intoxication has always been known to drop many an inhibition, loosen the fašade of reality, and if anything, grant us with more than just one memorable story for our friends. But if you're a straight player, have only heard of the parties and the drugs and the sex, well maybe this movie is just what you need. Buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy...it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
PLOT: This film follows the lives of five close friends during one typical rave party evening, with a little bit of background on each of the main players, a setup to the nite's activities, the parties, parties and parties, and inevitably...the crash end of the evening.
CRITIQUE: Hard to truly rate this film since I did quite appreciate its visuals, its soundtrack and its authentic portrayal of the rave/drug scene, but I just couldn't get past the fact that the characters were uninteresting, the story absent and the overall sense...deja-vu. Of course, movies like TRAINSPOTTING and GO worked because they presented us with an overall picture including intriguing characters and engaging storylines, two elements which were ultimately missing from this fast-paced movie. In fact, this film could actually be considered more of a documentary on the rave scene, with its believable insights, actual drug depictions, which are generally glanced over in other teen-party flicks, and its innovative filming style. Unfortunately for the audience, at least in my case, all five of the main characters were just annoying, unentertaining and generally, over-the-top. Add that to the fact that the two lead girls looked like they were in their forties, and not much investment went into these characters from my end. Without that bond with the characters, without much of a story, and without much of a high while watching this picture, I can't say that much of it "did" anything for me.
Sure, there were a couple of definite funny scenes, including one which broke down the politics of "passing the spliff" at a party...very funny! And another one which showcased the uncomfortable feeling one has when constantly running into someone whom you only know as an acquaintance, and all of the bullshit conversation that you must carry on with that person. So true, and pretty darn funny as well. Many of the other moments in the film featured movie references attempting to be clever (both the TAXI DRIVER and STAR WARS conversations didn't work for me), as well as kids basically screaming, jumping up and down, and telling us how cool it is to be high. I know what they're saying, but watching it for ninety minutes just didn't click much for me. The ending was especially weak with a dopey romance angle coming out of nowhere, but I will give the first time writer/director Justin Kerrigan this much...the camera tricks are abundant and certainly quite inventive.
 For the rest of ya'll, I would suggest skipping this puppy, and renting many of the better films to which this movie makes mention, including TAXI DRIVER, CLERKS, SCARFACE or THE SHINING.
Incidentally, I got the chance to interview 26-year old writer/director Justin Kerrigan for this film, a conversation which you could read by following this link: http://www.joblo.com/kerrigan1.htm

TreeLookup API Documentation
An instance of TreeLookup can be used to fetch the child nodes of the node at a particular path. It performs this lookup asynchronously and exposes the functionality through 2 similar methods.
getChildrenAsCallback(path, cb)
- path type: String The path to the node to fetch.
- cb type: Function The function to be called after the lookup is completed.
The callback should accept err type: Error and nodes type: Array as parameters.
getChildrenAsPromise(path)
- path type: String The path to the node to fetch.
The returned Promise should resolve with a nodes type: Array parameter and reject with an err type: Error parameter.
Example
var lookup = new TreeLookup();
lookup.getChildrenAsCallback('/', function (err, nodesFromCb) {
lookup.getChildrenAsPromise('/' + nodesFromCb[0])
.then(function (nodesFromPromise) {
console.log(nodesFromPromise);
});
});


If you've been on the Internet in the past 12 months, you would have 100% seen an ad for the viral Falcon Torch.
It's been super popular across the world.
Voted #1 Selling 'Tactical Flashlight' in 2015 and 2016.
Stock is also "selling out fast" in the lead up to the Christmas holidays.
But Why Is Falcon Torch Still Bestselling In The World?
Well, a number of reasons:
1) It's the cheapest, compared to its same class competitors - Only 45,00 € vs 116 €
2) It's Massively Discounted Online - Up to 50% Off Retail Price, on official sale sites like this one here.
3) It's simply the best tactical flashlight, in its class @ 700 lumens.
UPDATE: Falcon Torch is running a limited time online promo and offering a MASSIVE 50% DISCOUNT
Special Offer Link Here: Falcon Torch Discounts >>
What Can You Use It For?
"The truth is, most people underestimate the importance of owning a great flashlight. These days, power outages are
becoming more common in heavy storms - it's more important than ever to have the right gear and be ready for a blackout
."
Tactical Flashlights aren’t like average home flashlights:
- Falcon Torch Tactical Flashlight is built for rugged use, high performance and reliability .
- It's super bright LED technology emits powerful white light hundreds and hundreds of meters away.
Specifications
They have settings like: Strobe, High Beam and SOS - alerting with Super Bright Strobe, focusing on something far away or emergency signaling for help.
The case is built from hardened aluminum. It is light weight, but strong enough material to last any lifestyle in any environment.
Why The Low, Low Price?
Up until recently 'Tactical Flashlights' - haven’t been available for purchase by the public.
An online company got a large surplus amount of excess stock.
They began selling here to the public at affordable, discount prices (45 €/ea).
Before right now these Tactical flashlights were only available at nearly 300 € each!
However, rumor says that the stock is quickly running out due to huge popularity. Once it's sold out, there doesn't appear to be anymore selling…
Click Here - To Check Stock Availability
What Are People Using Their’s For?
Believe it or not, most men and women alike, don’t even own a flashlight!
There’s literally hundreds of good scenarios for owning a high-quality, strong flashlight.
The most popular include:
- In a home emergency; e.g. a power outage, heavy storm.
- In the trunk of your car for a late night breakdown, in the middle of nowhere (It’ll never happen to me…YEAH RIGHT!)
- Safely doing your late night dog walk
- Perfect for camping / hiking
- Checking the bottom of your property, from the safety of your home
- Scaring wild animals away
- Working in dark spaces
Would We Recommend Getting It?
Based on value, quality and support - yes. There are brighter lights of course, but they start at 249 €+. This is a bargain of a deal, based on it’s performance.
I bought this for my sister, who has vision issues & needs extra light when she's walking her dog after dark. This flashlight is amazing! It's so small & easy to carry--yet the beam is much, much brighter & wider than a regular flashlight. I'm buying another for myself!
Excellent! I just had an occasion to use it in an old attic and it sure lit the place up. Very satisfied
This is a great flashlight. It works well and shines the light so far away. great product
Great flashlight. Beyond my expectations!!
Great light and I like the added SOS feature
Needed a new torch for work and on seeing this one, and at a good price thought I would give it a go . Well made all metal unit but not to heavy for the pocket high lumen output and simple control with a simple push of the back button and pull system with a long beam or a nice spread of light well worth the money.
I've had many pocket torches over the years but this is the best yet. Excellent quality, it is a handy size with a very robust, solid feel and a powerful beam. It certainly doesn't feel cheap.
So far so good. Feels sturdy with good build quality, and the light that it emits is fantastic! Light weight given the metal body, and ideal for travelling with.
My father recently bought a similar torch to this at nearly 10 times the price so when his arrived and the quality was equally as good as the very torch I was delighted. It is very bright, easy to use and great value


Don't know about CISA? Click here!
In the weeks since the Senate approved CISA, Speaker Paul Ryan has been busy stripping privacy protections from the bill. Now CISA is much worse than the version President Obama threatened to veto, but Ryan is trying to tack it onto a must-pass budget bill that Obama can't veto without shutting down the government. Here are the latest changes:
Separately, Paul Ryan is also trying to pass a bill (H.R.3654) that would allow the government to coerce Internet companies into sharing as much private data as possible with the NSA. With CISA, we're no longer talking about a mass surveillance bill. This is a mass incarceration bill.


Father arrested after son, 5, brings heroin to school, says tasting it turns him into Spider-Man
by Morgan PhillipsA Massachusetts father was arrested and charged Friday after his 5-year-old son allegedly brought a bag of heroin to kindergarten and told his teacher he turns into Spider-Man when he tastes it.
Benny Garcia, 29, pleaded not guilty to charges of drug possession and reckless endangerment of a child.
The boy showed off a plastic bag stamped with the image of Spider-Man that contained a powdery substance, Hampden County Assistant District Attorney Matthew Green said in court, according to the Daily Hampshire Gazette. The boy told his teacher that he turns into the superhero when he tastes the powder. The boy also allegedly said he got the bag from the living room of his home.

Holyoke police officers were called to the school around 11 a.m. Thursday. The boy was taken to a local hospital and later released. Police contacted the boy's mother, who gave permission for police to search her apartment. There they found Garcia sleeping on a bed with other bags of white powder underneath him. As he was handcuffed, other bags fell from his body, according to police.

Court documents stated that police found over 200 bags of heroin and cocaine on Garcia. When officers told Garcia about the situation with his son at school, he reportedly became “very emotional.”
The boy and another infant from the family were taken into state custody.
Garcia will be held without bail until his hearing scheduled for Nov. 20.

“He loves Spider-Man,” Holyoke Police Lt. James Albert said of the boy. “Our officers were quite taken by it all. You don’t often deal with this.”


Pyjamas is an independent free software project that is used by people who prefer to actually get on with the job of writing apps, rather than glorying or revelling in the frustration of "traditional" web development. Hitting your head against a wall continuously every day doesn't hurt any more when you stop doing it, and much of "traditional" web development - of dealing with all the browser incompatibilities at a low level - can be considered to be the same as brick-wall-nutting.
In other words, you're here gaining the benefit of the experience of people who have spent quite some time searching out - and then improving - the Pyjamas Technology, to make their own lives easier. If there's an area which isn't clearly documented, you might like to consider funding them to tell you about it.
That having been said, there is actually one heck of a lot of documentation: see the main Pyjamas site for links to the tutorials, the Pyjamas Book, the API reference guides, the Showcase example which includes source code examples for each type of Widget and Panel (that can be cut/pasted into your app), and much more. If that wasn't enough, the GWT User-Interface modules on which the Pyjamas UI modules are based are so similar that even the GWT documentation is still relevant and useful.

Stooge sort is a recursive sorting algorithm. It is notable for its exceptional
bad time complexity of O(nlog 3 / log 1.5 ) = O(n2.7095...). The running time of the algorithm is thus slower compared to
reasonable sorting algorithms, and is slower than Bubble sort, a canonical example of a fairly inefficient sort. It is however
more efficient than Slowsort. The name comes from The Three Stooges.
Case 1) O(nlog 3/log 1.5) (Worst case)
It is important to get the integer sort size used in the recursive calls by rounding the 2/3 upwards, e.g. rounding 2/3 of 5 should give 4 rather than 3, as otherwise the sort can fail on certain data. However, if the code is written to end on a base case of size 1, rather than terminating on either size 1 or size 2, rounding the 2/3 of 2 upwards gives an infinite number of calls.
The algorithm for Stooge sort is shown as:
function stoogesort(array L, i = 0, j = length(L)-1){
if L[i] > L[j] then
L[i] ↔ L[j]
if (j - i + 1) > 2 then
t = (j - i + 1) / 3
stoogesort(L, i , j-t)
stoogesort(L, i+t, j )
stoogesort(L, i , j-t)
return L
}

[Erowid Warning: Our understanding of the literature is that there is no such thing as safe use of volatile solvents, aerosols and other street inhalants : their psychoactive effects are inseparable from nerve and organ damage. We have chosen to include these reports to help document the real world use of inhalants, but their inclusion is not intended to imply that they are anything but dangerous.]
Once when I was 15, I was hanging out with some people and someone pulled out a silver spray can. The brand label on it said 'Ethyl Jaz' and in smaller letters it said 'Ethyl Cloride.' Someone said it was like poppers, which I had never done. They took turns spraying it on a towel and then holding it to their faces. One girl actually put the sprayed part of the towel in her mouth, because she said it was better that way. I tried it, and started giggling immediately after I inhaled it. Then I wanted another huff, and another and another and another, but soon someone took it away from me.
I learned it was sold at a certain bar. I went to the bar, which was well-known as a hangout for gay men who liked leather & motorcycles.   I bought a can of Ethyl Jaz. It was very expensive for me, something like $25 for 2 ounces.
I took it home and started huffing it. At first it seemed like it was just something fun, it made me feel giddy. As soon as a hit wore off, I wanted to do another one. Then instead of just sniffing a sprayed rag, I started putting the rag inside my mouth and inhaling through it, like I had seen the girl at the party do. This method was incredibly more intense.
After taking a huff, I would immediately lose my vision. All was grey except for an oval-shaped pulsating green colored light ahead of me, and a little above me, and I would hear noises that sounded like the video game Pac-Man. I felt conscious, and yet I was completely engulfed by these sensations. I felt that I was elevating, and getting closer to the green oval, which held a wonderful mystic truth for me, if I could only get there.
Then I would regain consciousness. I had felt a sense of awareness during the huffing, but I fell off my chair and fell on the floor. So despite my feelings of being aware, bodily it was like passing out. When I came to, I felt numb and confused, and I immediately wanted to do another hit. Partly I wanted more to keep being 'high,' but I also felt that if I could just do a big enough hit, I would understand the secret message of the green light and be cosmically enlightened. The notion of 'cosmic' or 'mystic' truth did not occur to me at the time. This is just the best way I can explain it.
I kept huffing, and at one point I believe I lost all consciousness for a period of time. I was confused, so I don't know how long I passed out for. I had a bad headache, but I wanted to keep huffing, and attain the elusive universal truth that seemed so close at hand. Finally, I reached it. I received the holy message and it clicked in my head with an awesome understanding. It wasn't in words, but in pure thought that I felt had been delivered to me by a higher power. The message was that I was destroying my brain and I needed to stop.
I pondered this for a bit. Then I finished huffing the remainder of the can, which was almost gone by then. I did not get anywhere close to the previous feelings. I felt compelled to keep huffing, but I didn't feel like I was doing something enlightening anymore. I didn't use ethyl chloride again. Partly because it was an intense scary experience (and I thought, maybe dreadfully wrong, because of the message I got), and partly because it was expensive. Alcohol & LSD were so much cheaper, and a lot of times people would smoke their pot with me so it was free for me.
I tried poppers a couple times after that, and it was sort of a 'head rush,' but it came nowhere near the intense feelings of imminent spiritual awakening I had felt with the ethyl chloride.  I didn't use inhalents at any other time.
I kept using drugs for 5 more years. Sometimes, after smoking a lot of pot, I would get a little glimmer of that feeling of knowing a cosmic message -- the same message that I was destroying my brain, and I needed to stop. But the desire to get high was strong, and I chose not to heed the message. When I was 20, I got clean. I felt that my ability to stop using substances, despite the seemingly uncontrollable urges to use them, was a spiritual intervention. I felt some of the 'message' feelings during my early days and weeks of being clean, but this time it was that I was finally heeding the message 5 years after first hearing it.
I'm now 30 and have been completely abstinent from drugs and alcohol for 10 years. I still look back at Ethyl Jaz as a spiritual experience. 'Stop getting high' may seem like an improbable spiritual message to get from getting high. But if I hadn't stopped, I believe there's a strong chance I would have permanently damaged my brain or liver, or died. So it was an important message for me.

Super Bowl XLIX is just around the corner. And in my case, Super Bowl XLIX is literally just around the corner. I happen to live just a few miles from the stadium and you cannot help but get caught up into the hysteria that surrounds such an epic sporting event. Coincidentally, I recently had to create an HTTP interceptor to attach a session token to my HTTP headers so a football themed post is the natural thing to do. Right? RIGHT!

This is an extension of the Build a Simple REST Application with AngularJS Pt 2 Master Detail Interface post with an authentication component built in. We are going to focus primarily on the pieces that pertain to user authentication and skip the basic AngularJS parts. The demo application has two parts; the website and the API and so make sure to download both and let the games begin! #groan
WARNING: Bad sport jokes will abound.
[button link="https://github.com/simpulton/simple-rest-website" size="large" window="yes"]The Website[/button]
[button link="https://github.com/simpulton/simple-rest-api" size="large" window="yes"]The API[/button]
HTTP interceptors are a great way to define behavior in a single place for how a request or response is handled for ALL calls using the $http service. This is a game changer when you want to set an auth token on all outgoing calls or respond to a particular HTTP status error at the system level. You can pair interceptors with the incredibly useful Angular Storage module to cache an authenticated user and retrieve it the next run time.
We are going to be introducing routes into our application with a route for the existing dashboard and another route for logging in, so we need to add in the library for AngularUI Router. We are also going to store the user information using Angular Storage. We will first add the JavaScript resources to our index.html file as seen below.
{% highlight html %}
{% endhighlight %}
And then we will inject the angular-storage and ui.router submodules into our application.
[js]
angular.module('SimpleRESTWebsite', ['angular-storage', 'ui.router'])
[/js]
We are now ready for kick off! #sigh
The first technique that I want to discuss is the use of the store service to keep track of our user. The store service uses local storage if it is available and ngCookies if it is not. It allows us to store JavaScript objects and maintain type which is really nice. Using store is really simple as it primarily consists of a getter and a setter that allow us to store a value with a key and then retrieve that value.
In the UserService below, when a user is set, we are calling store.get and storing a reference to the user object. When service.getCurrentUser is called and currentUser does not exist, we are calling store.get to get the latest currentUser value. We will see how this comes in really handy in just a moment.
[js]
.service('UserService', function(store) {
var service = this,
currentUser = null;
service.setCurrentUser = function(user) {
currentUser = user;
store.set('user', user);
return currentUser;
};
service.getCurrentUser = function() {
if (!currentUser) {
currentUser = store.get('user');
}
return currentUser;
};
})
[/js]
And that is pretty much all there is to leveraging the store service. Getters and setters are pretty much the simplest play in the book.
The next technique that I want to discuss is creating an interceptor that will modify all requests made with the $http service as well as intercept any response errors. We want to modify the outgoing requests so that we can add an authorization token to the header of our call. Doing it in the intercepter allows us to do it one place and not have to worry about setting it at the individual service level. If the session token has expired and we receive a 401 error from the server we also want to broadcast that status so we can redirect the user to log back in again.
We are going to create a service called APIInterceptor that has our two interceptors; we will define them as service.request and service.responseError. We are also going to inject $rootScope and UserService for use in our interceptors.
[js]
.service('APIInterceptor', function($rootScope, UserService) {
var service = this;
service.request = function(config) {
return config;
};
service.responseError = function(response) {
return response;
};
})
[/js]
In our request interceptor, we are going to call UserService.getCurrentUser to get the current user and, if one exists, we will grab the session token and assign it to a variable. The request interceptor takes a single argument which is an HTTP config object that we will use to assign the value of access_token to an authorization property on the config.headers object. Now that we have made the appropriate modification to the config object, we can return it for actual processing from the $http service.
[js]
.service('APIInterceptor', function($rootScope, UserService) {
var service = this;
service.request = function(config) {
var currentUser = UserService.getCurrentUser(),
access_token = currentUser ? currentUser.access_token : null;
if (access_token) {
config.headers.authorization = access_token;
}
return config;
};
service.responseError = function(response) {
return response;
};
})
[/js]
When our session token expires or the user is not authenticated, the server will respond with a 401 error that we want to intercept so we can have the user log back into the application. We listen for this error in our service.responseError interceptor by checking the response.status code. If the response.status code is 401 then we will broadcast an unauthorized event on $rootScope. The last thing we want is for a user to be caught offside in our application. #totallyJustMadeThatJoke!
[js]
.service('APIInterceptor', function($rootScope, UserService) {
var service = this;
service.request = function(config) {
var currentUser = UserService.getCurrentUser(),
access_token = currentUser ? currentUser.access_token : null;
if (access_token) {
config.headers.authorization = access_token;
}
return config;
};
service.responseError = function(response) {
if (response.status === 401) {
$rootScope.$broadcast('unauthorized');
}
return response;
};
})
[/js]
Now that we have defined our interceptor, we need to actually apply it to our application. Interceptors are added by pushing them into the $httpProvider.interceptors array as we have done at the bottom of our config block.
[js]
.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $httpProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('login', {
url: '/login',
templateUrl: 'app/templates/login.tmpl.html',
controller: 'LoginCtrl',
controllerAs: 'login'
})
.state('dashboard', {
url: '/dashboard',
templateUrl: 'app/templates/dashboard.tmpl.html',
controller: 'DashboardCtrl',
controllerAs: 'dashboard'
});
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/dashboard');
$httpProvider.interceptors.push('APIInterceptor');
})
[/js]
Now that we have covered storing the user data and intercepting our service calls, I want to highlight the pertinent pieces in the sample application.
When signIn is called in our LoginCtrl, the user object is passed into a LoginService.login call which is resolved via a promise. When that promise is resolved, a few important steps are happening that warrant commentary.
[js]
.controller('LoginCtrl', function($rootScope, $state, LoginService, UserService){
var login = this;
function signIn(user) {
LoginService.login(user)
.then(function(response) {
user.access_token = response.data.id;
UserService.setCurrentUser(user);
$rootScope.$broadcast('authorized');
$state.go('dashboard');
});
}
function register(user) {
LoginService.register(user)
.then(function(response) {
login(user);
});
}
function submit(user) {
login.newUser ? register(user) : signIn(user);
}
login.newUser = false;
login.submit = submit;
})
[/js]
In our MainCtrl, we are listening for the authorized and unauthorized events. When a user logs in and an authorized event is fired, we respond to that event by updating main.currentUser so we can show the logout button in the nav bar. When the unauthorized event is fired, we null out the current user and redirect the application back to the login screen. This is useful if a user navigates directly to an internal state of the application and they do not have a valid session token as the error is caught and the user is prompted to authenticate.
[js]
.controller('MainCtrl', function ($rootScope, $state, LoginService, UserService) {
var main = this;
function logout() {
LoginService.logout()
.then(function(response) {
main.currentUser = UserService.setCurrentUser(null);
$state.go('login');
}, function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
$rootScope.$on('authorized', function() {
main.currentUser = UserService.getCurrentUser();
});
$rootScope.$on('unauthorized', function() {
main.currentUser = UserService.setCurrentUser(null);
$state.go('login');
});
main.logout = logout;
main.currentUser = UserService.getCurrentUser();
})
[/js]
And finally, in our nav bar at the top of the application, we are displaying a logout button and showing it only if there is a current user.
{% highlight html %}
{% endhighlight %}
This was a really fun project for me to dig into, and I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Martin Gonto for his input and excellent work on the Angular Storage module.
Let's take a quick moment for a play-by-play recap of what we learned in this lesson.

Make pink-ball tests the exception, not the rule, says Kohli
Day-night matches have helped rejuvenate the game's longest format but test cricket should not be bound by the latest trends and must instead focus on the battle of wills between batsman and bowler, India captain Virat Kohli said on Thursday.
KOLKATA, India: Day-night matches have helped rejuvenate the game's longest format but test cricket should not be bound by the latest trends and must instead focus on the battle of wills between batsman and bowler, India captain Virat Kohli said on Thursday.
India have been the only major full-member nation not to have played a day-night test, a concept which pundits say will help address dwindling attendance in most test venues.
Kohli's men will finally take the pink-ball plunge on Friday at Kolkata's Eden Gardens against a Bangladesh team who will also be playing their maiden day-night test.
Kohli is all for innovation but dreads the idea of twisting test cricket to pander to popular tastes.
"In my opinion, this should not become the only way test cricket is played," the 31-year-old told reporters ahead of the second and final test against Bangladesh.
"Because then you are losing out on that nervousness of the first session in the morning.
"You can bring excitement into test cricket but you can't purely make test cricket based on just entertainment.
"Entertainment of test cricket lies in the fact that a batsman is trying to survive a session and the bowler is trying to set a batsman out. If people don't respond to that, too bad."
Not every fan will appreciate the nuances of the longest format and it would be futile to try to convert them, he said.
"If someone gets excitement from watching the battle between bat and ball and a great session of test cricket, in my opinion those are the people that should come and watch test cricket because they understand what’s going on."
"I think (day-night tests) can be a one-off thing, it should not be a regular scenario."
The visibility of the pink ball and its exaggerated swing might make batsmen particularly vulnerable in the channel outside the off-stump, Kohli said.
"Your idea of off-stump, that’s going to be the most crucial thing," he added. "When we practised yesterday, we felt that the ball could be closer to you but it’s actually not that close to the off-stump. One has to be careful in that channel."
The biggest challenge however would be for the fielders, said Kohli.

"It's definitely much more harder and, for some reason, it felt a little heavier. Even the throws took a lot more effort to reach the keeper."
Kohli would not be surprised if fielders drop an odd skier in the match either.
"During the day, high catches would be very difficult," he said.
"With red ball and white ball, you catch with an idea of knowing how fast the ball is coming down. But this time, if you don’t look at the ball in your palm, it’s gone."

DVS Project
College of Informatics and Virtual Education (CIVE) of the University of Dodoma (UDOM), through the financial support of Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA), embarked on a three-year research on Applying Mobile Technology for Drugs Verification in Tanzania. The main objective of the research was to design, develop, implement and support a mobile technology-based system to secure the Tanzanian health sector by enabling medical drugs verification. As one of the main output of the project, Drugs Verification System (DVS) prototype, which is a mobile technology-based system to track, trace and authenticate medical drugs, was developed and tested.
Drugs Verification System (DVS)
DVS is a comprehensive system designed to secure pharmaceutical supply chain and is comprised of the following sub-module:
- Web-Portal: The platform where medical drugs consumers and other stakeholders of the pharmaceutical supply chain can access relevant information such as: health facility profiling and search, pharmacy maping and search, medical drug profile etc.
- Back-end: This submodule allows registration of different entries to the entire system, provides an interface for integration with other systems, helps in configuration of different initial values to the system, displays reports based on specified criteria, manages batches and enables tracking and tracing of medical drugs.
- RFID tagging system: Facilitates electronic tracking and tracing of medical drugs. It allows key stakeholders to more precisely track and trace drug products through the supply chain. By RFID tagging as well as tracking and identifying the drugs on an individual basis, the likelihood of a counterfeit drug to travel all the way to its final destination is reduced significantly
- Mobile Application: The module can be used by the consumers to verify medical drugs and access some other value added features related to health. The module has two components which are android-based and SMS based applications. The SMS based application serves as an alternative way for verifying medical drugs by consumers who have neither smart-phone nor access to the Internet. The SMS based applicationit offers other services such as scheduling custom notifications to key stakeholders upon occurrence of abnormal cases such as diversion and medical drugs expiration. The android-based application provide set of important features such as dosage reminder designed to allow patients follow dosage instructions and hence encourage medication compliance and help improve patient outcome, enable customers and other stakeholder to search for registerd facilities and pharmacies.
The entire system underwent extensive testing and evaluation by stakeholders. In general, stakeholders were satisfied with the operations and functionalities of the developed system. The system was further fine tuned following recommendations and comments received from stakeholders.


PostgreSQL™ provides two distinct ways to store binary data. Binary data can be stored in a table using the data type BYTEA or by using the Large Object feature which stores the binary data in a separate table in a special format and refers to that table by storing a value of type OID in your table.
In order to determine which method is appropriate you need to understand the limitations of each method. The BYTEA data type is not well suited for storing very large amounts of binary data. While a column of type BYTEA can hold up to 1 GB of binary data, it would require a huge amount of memory to process such a large value. The Large Object method for storing binary data is better suited to storing very large values, but it has its own limitations. Specifically deleting a row that contains a Large Object reference does not delete the Large Object. Deleting the Large Object is a separate operation that needs to be performed. Large Objects also have some security issues since anyone connected to the database can view and/or modify any Large Object, even if they don't have permissions to view/update the row containing the Large Object reference.
Version 7.2 was the first release of the JDBC driver that supports the BYTEA
data type. The introduction of this functionality in 7.2 has introduced a change
in behavior as compared to previous releases. Since 7.2, the methods getBytes()
,
setBytes()
, getBinaryStream()
, and setBinaryStream()
operate on the BYTEA
data type. In 7.1 and earlier, these methods operated on the OID data type
associated with Large Objects. It is possible to revert the driver back to the
old 7.1 behavior by setting the property compatible
on the Connection
object
to the value 7.1
. More details on connection properties are available in the
section called “Connection Parameters”.
To use the BYTEA data type you should simply use the getBytes()
, setBytes()
,
getBinaryStream()
, or setBinaryStream()
methods.
To use the Large Object functionality you can use either the LargeObject
class
provided by the PostgreSQL™ JDBC driver, or by using the getBLOB()
and setBLOB()
methods.
You must access Large Objects within an SQL transaction block. You can start a transaction block by calling
setAutoCommit(false)
.
Example 7.1, “Processing Binary Data in JDBC” contains some examples on how to process binary data using the PostgreSQL™ JDBC driver.
Example 7.1. Processing Binary Data in JDBC
For example, suppose you have a table containing the file names of images and you also want to store the image in a BYTEA column:
CREATE TABLE images (imgname text, img bytea);
To insert an image, you would use:
File file = new File("myimage.gif");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO images VALUES (?, ?)");
ps.setString(1, file.getName());
ps.setBinaryStream(2, fis, (int)file.length());
ps.executeUpdate();
ps.close();
fis.close();
Here, setBinaryStream()
transfers a set number of bytes from a stream into the
column of type BYTEA. This also could have been done using the setBytes()
method
if the contents of the image was already in a byte[]
.
The length parameter to
setBinaryStream
must be correct. There is no way to indicate that the stream is of unknown length. If you are in this situation, you must read the stream yourself into temporary storage and determine the length. Now with the correct length you may send the data from temporary storage on to the driver.
Retrieving an image is even easier. (We use PreparedStatement
here, but the
Statement
class can equally be used.)
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT img FROM images WHERE imgname = ?");
ps.setString(1, "myimage.gif");
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
while (rs.next())
{
byte[] imgBytes = rs.getBytes(1);
// use the data in some way here
}
rs.close();
ps.close();
Here the binary data was retrieved as an byte[]
. You could have used a
InputStream
object instead.
Alternatively you could be storing a very large file and want to use the
LargeObject
API to store the file:
CREATE TABLE imageslo (imgname text, imgoid oid);
To insert an image, you would use:
// All LargeObject API calls must be within a transaction block
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
// Get the Large Object Manager to perform operations with
LargeObjectManager lobj = conn.unwrap(org.postgresql.PGConnection.class).getLargeObjectAPI();
// Create a new large object
long oid = lobj.createLO(LargeObjectManager.READ | LargeObjectManager.WRITE);
// Open the large object for writing
LargeObject obj = lobj.open(oid, LargeObjectManager.WRITE);
// Now open the file
File file = new File("myimage.gif");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
// Copy the data from the file to the large object
byte buf[] = new byte[2048];
int s, tl = 0;
while ((s = fis.read(buf, 0, 2048)) > 0)
{
obj.write(buf, 0, s);
tl += s;
}
// Close the large object
obj.close();
// Now insert the row into imageslo
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO imageslo VALUES (?, ?)");
ps.setString(1, file.getName());
ps.setLong(2, oid);
ps.executeUpdate();
ps.close();
fis.close();
// Finally, commit the transaction.
conn.commit();
Retrieving the image from the Large Object:
// All LargeObject API calls must be within a transaction block
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
// Get the Large Object Manager to perform operations with
LargeObjectManager lobj = conn.unwrap(org.postgresql.PGConnection.class).getLargeObjectAPI();
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT imgoid FROM imageslo WHERE imgname = ?");
ps.setString(1, "myimage.gif");
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
while (rs.next())
{
// Open the large object for reading
long oid = rs.getLong(1);
LargeObject obj = lobj.open(oid, LargeObjectManager.READ);
// Read the data
byte buf[] = new byte[obj.size()];
obj.read(buf, 0, obj.size());
// Do something with the data read here
// Close the object
obj.close();
}
rs.close();
ps.close();
// Finally, commit the transaction.
conn.commit();

XtForm provides multiple ways to set the error message displayed for a given error condition. In many cases the error message will not need to be specified for each element as XtForm will generate common messages for you.
To declare a custom error message all you need to do is declare the message on an attribute of the ng-model element. See this example below which overrides the default error messages with ones particular to this element.
<input name="number" type="number" ng-model="model.number" class="form-control" id="num"
required min="0" max="6" placeholder="Required & must be between 0 and 6"
msg-max="Woah... too high!!"
msg-min="Needs to be bigger than that!"
msg-required="You need to fill this one out"
msg-number="What the? I can't read this!">
Most error messages will not need to be explicitly set on the input itself. XtForm provides a set of default error messages for standard error keys. These can be overridden in the configuration provider shown below.
| Key | Messages |
|---|---|
| minlength | 'Needs to be at least {{ngMinlength}} characters long' |
| maxlength | 'Can be no longer than {{ngMaxlength}} characters long' |
| required | 'This field is required' |
| number | 'Must be a number' |
| min | 'Must be at least {{ngMin}}' |
| max | 'Must be no greater than {{ngMax}}' |
| 'Must be a valid E-mail address' | |
| pattern | 'Illegal value' |
| url | 'Must be a valid URL' |
| date | 'Must be a valid date' |
| datetimelocal | 'Must be a valid date' |
| time | 'Must be a valid time' |
| week | 'Must be a valid week' |
| month | 'Must be a valid month' |
The error messages are interpolated using the attributes of the element. This means you have access to variables such as max/min, etc inside of the default error messages.
The following code snippet shows how to override the built in error messages to change XtForm defaults, or add your own.
angular.module('sample').config(function (xtFormConfigProvider) {
// Override default error messages
xtFormConfigProvider.setErrorMessages({
required 'Yo!, this will override the required message',
someOtherKey: 'Here is a message for a custom validation directive'
});
});


At the beggining of the weekend been working to make nicer panes for graphics. When i was looking for storys on my proyect tracking i saw accidentally:
I decided it will be a composite relationship, editor-pane will set graphic-pane subject to itīs selected object. By default the graphic will be just the representation, but it could be modified to display any possible graphic for the editor-pane selected object.
I changed graphic editors look for OpenGL visualization mode. They are very simple, they consist of the graphic and a three button toolbar. These two examples correspond to a map of the population fitness of three algorithm situations:
I been playing with some simple regression example, and thought it was a very well candidate for default documentation examples. Itīs about searching for the function (+ (+ (* X X) (* 2 (* Y Y))) (/ Y 3)). In the next shot we can see different graphics for a run that found the desired solution in 56 seconds, and 2 executions later in 23 seconds:
Example graphics for size and fitness, some population fitness map and the result found. I think a very good way to show experiments conclusions is using graphics, but still looking how can i show more things in fewer examples.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Battle for the 1.2900 handle
by Flavio Tosti- The cable is starting the week with a mild recovery aiming at the 1.2900 handle.
- The level to beat for bulls is the 1.2900/1.2916 resistance zone.
GBP/USD daily chart
GBP/USD is trading below the 1.2900 handle as the market is chopping in November. The spot keeps an underlying bullish bias while above its main daily simple moving averages (DMAs).
GBP/USD four-hour chart
The market is trading above a rising 200 SMA, suggesting bullish momentum. A break above the 1.2900/1.2916 resistance zone can lead to further gains towards the 1.2964/1.3000 resistance zone, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.
GBP/USD 30-minute chart
GBP/USD is starting the week with an attempt at regaining the 1.2900 handle. So far, this has not happened yet; however, if the bears don’t show up soon, the buyers will likely take control and lift the market above the 1.2900/1.2916 resistance zone.
Support is seen at the 1.2870 and 1.2820 price levels.

Prototyping
Prototyping is the conversation you have with your ideas. – Tom Wujec
In its essence prototyping is about creating an early sample, model or/and release. It is created to test and evaluate a concept or process - ultimately learned from. Incremental iterative refinements. Prototypes is cleverly used before investing time and money into development.
A prototype can be anything from paper drawings (low-fidelity) to something that allows click-through of a few pieces of content to a fully functioning site (high-fidelity).
It can be used to provide specifications for a real working system rather than a theoretical one. In the design process prototyping lies between the formalization and the evaluation of an idea. Prototyping can be done various ways e.g. through coding, making with materials and electronics.
Prototyping is closely related to sketching, but the intentions are different. Bill Buxton, in his book Sketching User Experiences, provides a list of descriptors that help explain the differences:
| Sketching | Prototyping |
|---|---|
| Evocative | Dedactive |
| Suggest | Describe |
| Explore | Define |
| Question | Answer |
| Propose | Test |
| Provoke | Resolve |
| Tentative | Specific |
| Non-commital | Depiction |

Prototyping in industry
COOP Danmark case studyToke Frello, Nina Mørch, Camilla Jönsson & Morten Winther in cooperation with Coop Danmark - digital concept in physical shopping situations.
The purpose of the concept is to facilitate dialogue between children (3-6 years) and their parents about the origin and nature of food products. Interactive screens are placed in different food sections in the supermarket and on them children are given playful tasks to perform. The sticker references the task – a milk carton after milking a cow – which can be placed in a small booklet, which is handed out the first time the child interacts with the concept. In the booklet the sticker is grouped according to its origin - The milk carton would be placed with the cow etc.
The concept is the result of a user-centered development process. The process include contextual studies, focus groups, prototyping, target group analysis, business model development and stakeholder analysis.
DMD case – Vital Shades
In this project they explored how interactive shadows affected the aesthetic experience of an architectural space. To understand this, they built a prototype and set up a series of experiments with follow-up expert interviews based on the pragmatist aesthetics framework.
The prototype consists of an LED strip, a PIR- based motion detector(PID), a plant of the Schefflera genus and an Arduino. The LED’s are wrapped around the trunk of the plant, and the PID sits on the front of the pot. The LED’s on the strip are activated in succession and emits an upward spiraling pattern.
When continuous motion is detected over a short range of time by the PID, the pattern will increase its velocity. With the LED’s wrapped around the trunk, VitalShades creates shadows on its surroundings that are formed by the shape of the leaves. These shadows move about as a result of the light pattern.

No idea where I went wrong, but the final graphs are not what I expected Update: Integrated out some uncertainty in the expectation step, need to preserve full set of transtions
We consider adding additional sources of noise through observation error and implementation error to the orginal model of Reed (1979), which considers only growth error. This follows in the line of exploration taken by Clark and Kirkwood (1987), Roughgarden (1996) and Sethi (2006).
In adding these two sources of error, our state variable becomes our measured (or believed) stock \(x\), rather than the true stock size \(y\), and our control variable becomes the quota \(q\) set, rather than the realized harvest \(h\).
Analytical integrals
The central calculation to accomodating additional sources of uncertainty is the determination of the transition matrix; the probability of going from state \(x_t\) at time \(t\) to state \(x_{t+1}\) in the next interval, for each possible value of the control variable (quota). We discritize the statespace onto a fine grid of values \(x\) and \(h\) to seek a stochastic dynamic programming solution.
xmin <- 0
xmax <- 150
grid_n <- 100
We seek a harvest policy which maximizes the discounted profit from the fishery using a stochastic dynamic programming approach over a discrete grid of stock sizes from 0
to 150
on a grid of 100
points, and over an identical discrete grid of possible harvest values.
x_grid <- seq(xmin, xmax, length = grid_n)
h_grid <- x_grid
With purely growth noise, a row of the matrix is given by the probability density of the growth noise with mean \(f(x,h)\), that is, the probability of tranistion from \(x\) to \(x_{t+1}\) at harvest \(h\) is given by the function \(P(x_t+1, f(x,h))\) for some probability density function \(P\). In the case of uncertainty in stock \(y\) and harvest \(h\), we must integrate over the probability distributions for possible harvests and possible stock sizes,
In general this convolution can be non-trivial to compute, but in the case of uniformly distributed harvest error of \(\pm \sigma_i\) around some quota \(q\), and uniform measurement error of \(\pm \sigma_m\) around the true stock size \(x\), the integrals can be written as,
Note we enforce the simple non-negative boundary on stock and harvest.
So now we are left to merely integrate the \(f(y,h)\) over these finite intervals. We can do this for arbitrary \(f\) through multidimensional numerical integration (In fact we could have done this in the first place, but it is too slow for the convolutions of arbitrary probability densities)
int_f
function(f, x, q, sigma_m, sigma_i, pars){
K <- pars[2]
sigma_m <- K*sigma_m
sigma_i <- K*sigma_i # scale noise into units of K
if(sigma_m > 0 && sigma_i > 0){
g <- function(X) f(X[1], X[2], pars)
lower <- c(max(x - sigma_m, 0), max(q - sigma_i, 0))
upper <- c(x + sigma_m, q + sigma_i)
A <- adaptIntegrate(g, lower, upper)
out <- A$integral/((q+sigma_i-max(q-sigma_i, 0))*(x+sigma_m-max(x-sigma_m, 0)))
} else if(sigma_m == 0 && sigma_i > 0){
g <- function(h) f(x, h, pars)
lower <- max(q - sigma_i, 0)
upper <- q + sigma_i
A <- adaptIntegrate(g, lower, upper)
out <- A$integral/(q+sigma_i-max(q-sigma_i, 0))
} else if(sigma_i == 0 && sigma_m > 0){
g <- function(y) f(y, q, pars)
lower <- max(x - sigma_m, 0)
upper <- x + sigma_m
A <- adaptIntegrate(g, lower, upper)
out <- A$integral/(x+sigma_m-max(x-sigma_m, 0))
} else if (m == 0 && n == 0){
out <- f(x,q,pars)
} else {
stop("distribution widths cannot be negative")
}
out
}
<environment: namespace:pdgControl>
If we assume a simple function like logistic growth, \(f(s) = r s (1-s/K) + s \), where \(s = x - h\),
f <- function(x, h, p) {
sapply(x, function(x) {
S = max(x - h, 0)
p[1] * S * (1 - S/p[2]) + S
})
}
With parameters
r <- 1
K <- 100
pars <- c(r, K)
r
= 1
and K
= 100
.
Following Sethi et al, we can do this in closed form,
function(x,q, m, n, pars){
K <- pars[2]
m <- K*m

We can compare timing and equivalence of these two expressions:
require(cubature)
# Confirm that these give the same value, and time performance
system.time(a <- sapply(x_grid, function(x) int_f(f, x, 1, 0.1, 0.1,
pars)))
user system elapsed
7.444 0.000 7.394
system.time(b <- sapply(x_grid, function(x) F(x, 1, 0.1, 0.1, pars)))
user system elapsed
0.012 0.000 0.015
ggplot(data.frame(x = x_grid, a = a, b = b)) + geom_line(aes(x, a),
col = "red") + geom_line(aes(x, b), lty = 2)
Note that as the uncertainy gets small, we recover the original transition probability \(f\):
F(50, 4, 0.1, 0.1, pars)
[1] 67.01
F(50, 4, 1e-04, 1e-04, pars)
[1] 70.84
f(50, 4, pars)
[1] 70.84
When the noise width is much smaller than the bin width we may have trouble, particularly with the uniform distribution, since part of the bin corresponds to zero density, part to high density.
Numerical implementation
We consider a profits from fishing to be a function of harvest h
and stock size x
, \( (x,h) = h - ( c_0 + c_1 ) \), conditioned on \( h > x \) and \(x > 0 \),
price <- 1
c0 <- 0
c1 <- 0
profit <- profit_harvest(price = price, c0 = c0, c1 = c1)
with price = 1
, c0
= 0
and c1
= 0
.
Additional parameters
delta <- 0.05
xT <- 0
OptTime <- 25
sigma_g <- 0.1
sigma_m <- 0.5
sigma_i <- 0.5
The uniform distribution must be careful for noise sizes smaller than binwidth
pdfn <- function(P, s) dunif(P, 1 - s, 1 + s)
# pdfn <- function(P, s) dlnorm(P, 0, s)
We will determine the optimal solution over a 25
time step window with boundary condition for stock at 0
and discounting rate of 0.05
.
Scenarios:
sdp <- SDP_uniform(f, pars, x_grid, h_grid, sigma_g = sigma_g, pdfn,
sigma_m = sigma_m, sigma_i = sigma_i, F)
uniform <- find_dp_optim(sdp, x_grid, h_grid, OptTime, xT, profit,
delta, reward = 0)
Do the deterministic exactly,
SDP_Mat <- determine_SDP_matrix(f, pars, x_grid, h_grid, sigma_g = sigma_g,
pdfn)
det <- find_dp_optim(SDP_Mat, x_grid, h_grid, OptTime, xT, profit,
delta, reward = 0)
Determine the policies for each of the scenarios (noise combinations).

In Grimwire, configs are used to define applications and introduce user settings.
The host sets default applications with .host.json
. The user can choose to add separate app configs, but their applications are kept separate to avoid merging complexity.
Applications are JSON files which specify one or more Web Worker to comprise the app.
The schemas for .host.json
and application configs are explained in the Intro Overview.
User settings work separately. They are specified per-worker and given to the worker under local.worker.config.usr
. The worker can then decide how to merge user-settings with their application settings. (As a result, user settings can be defined for host and user applications.)
var config = local.worker.config; var username = config.usr.username || config.username; var profcolors = _.extend({}, config.profcolors, config.usr.profcolors);
An example of a worker merging user settings with application settings
When possible, applications should use Hypermedia tools to coordinate with other applications. This saves users and source-files from manually setting target URLs.
Grimwire uses the Link Header to do programmatic navigation. Read about the Navigator for more information.
To find other applications in the page's environment, workers can issue GET requests to httpl://config.env/apps
for an object mapping app ids to their configurations. You can use the startpage
value to find the initial URL of an app.
httpl://config.env/apps
also serves a "text/event-stream" which emits an "update" event when apps are added or removed.
local.http.navigator(sourceUrl) .relation('http://grimwire.com/rel/index') .resolve();
The search application's technique for finding indexable content on a server
response.setHeader('link', [ { rel:'self', href:'/' }, { rel:'collection', href:'/items', title:'items' }, { rel:'http://grimwire.com/rel/index', href:'/items?schema=grimsearch' } ]);
The rss reader's exported links at its root resource
User settings can be defined within the application's UI. However, for simplicity, the "Applications" interface embeds interfaces from the /.grim/config
resource of each worker.
To update the user settings, a worker can PUT json to httpl://config.env/workers/{domain}
. Doing so will overwrite the current settings in local.worker.config.usr
, then trigger a reload of the worker. Because all requests are asynchronous, a worker can dispatch this request then finish responding.
feedSources = (request.body.sources && isString(request.body.sources)) ? request.body.sources.split("\n").filter(function(i) { return i; }) : []; local.http.dispatch({ method: 'put', url: 'httpl://config.env/workers/'+local.worker.config.domain, body: { sources:feedSources }, headers: { 'content-type':'application/json' } });
