INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
IT in the Hands of Field Sales Reps
A sales force equipped with mobile tools for interconnection to corporate resources can preserve a manufacturer's competitive advantage.
David Kerr
The increasing complexity of today's healthcare equipment procurement environment has presented some new challenges for medical device manufacturing companies and their sales representatives. To gain a competitive edge in influencing product selection may require struggle. The emergence of intricate purchasing plans, contract-buying trends, and shifting pricing options constitute one set of challenges. Another relates to the growing complexity of medical technology itself, particularly its incorporation of information technology (IT) capabilities.
Medical device manufacturers and their field reps are discovering several healthcare industry procurement hurdles that need to be overcome. Group purchasing organizations (GPOs), contractual buying arrangements, on-line ordering, and face-to-face selling are each scenarios that present a distinct challenge for pricing and relationship building. A tool that can be of value in each of these situations is mobile sales force automation (SFA) technology.
Face-to-face selling is made easier by the development of personal relationships with physicians and surgeons in situations where they play an important role in purchasing. When doctors demand considerable technical data, product training, and manufacturer support, those sales reps armed with real-time data and interactive presentation tools will be the ones most likely to close a sale.
In an effort to foster better relationships with, and provide more value to, physicians—and to the healthcare industry generally—some medtech companies are investing in integrated sales, marketing, and supply-chain management systems that are known as customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Mobile SFA is a primary tool driving this initiative to meet, on demand and in the field, ever-growing customer needs (see sidebar).
According to a recent report by market analysts Frost & Sullivan (San Antonio, TX), CRM license revenue from mobile SFA applications, for both wired and wireless devices, is expected to grow from a predicted $169 million in 2004 to $293 million by 2008. The fastest-growing segment, wireless SFA, is projected to grow from $20 million to $115 million over that period.1
This article examines ways that mobile SFA can make medtech companies' field-based sales forces more effective in a procurement environment trending toward consolidated purchasing and automatic ordering while also serving the interests of institutional purchasers.
Sales Approaches by Product Category
Three major categories of medical devices—disposable goods, high-margin devices, and capital goods—call for different sales approaches. Handheld sales technology plays a different role in each.
In the hospital environment, purchasing departments and GPOs tend to control vendor selection, product pricing, and the awarding of contracts. This holds true especially with commodity-based products such as disposables (surgical gloves, swabs, and so on) where price is the primary differentiator and organizations are reordering more often than making first-time purchases. Rather than buying directly from a sales rep, these purchasing groups use electronic purchasing technology such as electronic data interchange (EDI) to maximize ordering efficiency and optimize savings.
Since the decisionmaking process and the sales cycle for disposable products are both very short, new purchasing and inventory replenishment tend to be conducted on-line. Here, manufacturers need to distinguish their products from competitors' while offering the lowest price and an efficient ordering process. Despite stringent pricing constraints prevalent in this category, sales reps with real-time mobile access to pricing models, product specifications, inventory information, and delivery schedules during the sales call gain advantage for their employers in terms of better CRM functionality, more-efficient document management, and electronic order submission and tracking. Mobile technology gives reps the ability to capture, store, and view account history during the sales call, and to present new products immediately at launch.
At the other end of the medical device spectrum are capital goods—heavy, expensive, highly sophisticated medical equipment. In this complex segment, product lines are narrow, sales cycles are very long, and purchasing decisions are made by committee.

Reps typically do not stock such inventory in the field, nor can they demonstrate equipment for each prospect. What is imperative for them is keeping a variety of technical specifications and a detailed account history on hand. They can, of course, benefit from mobile SFA functions that aid in selling, such as interactive presentations, video product demonstrations, side-by-side product comparisons, and display of technical documentation and complex pricing configurations. But the handheld technology enables them also to review and update the account history, check the field service and equipment maintenance history, and manage customer contact information relating to every member of the committee.
Selling Complex, High-Margin Devices
In between commodity disposables and capital goods falls the realm of high-margin implantable and diagnostic medical devices. These electromedical products have become increasingly sophisticated as they have incorporated miniaturized electronics and then embedded microprocessors. New IT-based devices in this category now contribute heavily to the ability of physicians to make reliable therapeutic decisions by means of the vital data they gather and record.
Owing to the complexity of these products, the surgeon or physician who uses them typically makes or strongly influences the purchasing decision. New product sales (rather than repeat sales) are common in this category because physicians focus on meeting the requirements of individual patients. GPOs are more price driven, but physicians purchasing highly complex devices base their decisions on specific patient needs, insurance reimbursements, product performance, and manufacturer support.
In this situation, a close, trusting relationship between sales rep and physician is critical. Physicians need to be confident of the rep's recommendations, the product's reliability, and the manufacturer's training support. Mobile SFA tools in the hands of sales reps enable device manufacturers to satisfy these buying criteria. They can help physicians make an educated decision by providing:
- Details of product features, specifications, and benefits.
- Critical data regarding product reliability and accuracy, such as clinical trial results.
- Side-by-side comparisons of competitive products.
- Interactive presentations and video surgical demonstrations.
- Downloadable educational material from the manufacturer.
- Reimbursement guidelines.
The mobile technology provides efficiency benefits for the wider institutional healthcare system as well (see sidebar).
Mobile SFA technology facilitates relationship building by providing sales reps with all the information and resources they need at the point of purchase, which might be the physician's office, operating room, or surgeon's lounge. Physicians are often challenged to sift through and process a great deal of technical and clinical information in order to make qualified decisions. Real-time access to corporate systems via mobile technology enables the sales rep to anticipate and respond quickly to technical questions about product performance and customization options, as well as refute competitive claims, track inventory, and fulfill orders on the spot. Well-prepared, well-educated reps armed with a complete set of easily accessible resources during the sales call are likely to be considered more credible by physicians and surgeons than those who are not.
In addition, SFA technology gives sales reps the tools for introducing new products to customers sooner than traditional methods would allow. They can make a professional and information-rich presentation to educate physicians about each new device immediately upon rollout.
Collateral Benefits
Mobile technology empowers sales reps and makes them more efficient (see sidebar). But by implementing handheld SFA solutions the medical device manufacturing companies that employ them gain in other ways. These benefits include CRM economy, easy field deployment, greater sales force productivity, and enhanced supply-chain visibility.
Alternative to Traditional CRM. Integrated CRM systems are no longer restricted by high cost to enterprises with large sales teams. Advances in system security and data integrity protocols allow companies of all sizes to outsource the SFA function of their CRM system with confidence. Also, the evolution of the application service provider (ASP) model—a hosted, pay-as-you-go arrangement—makes customized sales solutions affordable for smaller organizations. Depending on the functionality and support level required, the cost per user of hosted SFA services is comparable to that of telephone service.
Ease of Deployment. Smaller medical device companies with fewer than 50 sales reps can field-deploy such new technologies as mobile SFA quite rapidly. For reasons of economy, they tend to favor subscription-based services, which can be implemented immediately and independently of legacy systems. And because the IT resources they employ are generally not very extensive, requirements for customization and integration into back-office systems are very manageable.
Larger organizations—those with, say, 500 reps or more—may require more time to deploy SFA technology effectively because of the need to take into account highly complex legacy systems when implementing integrated field solutions. Also, decisionmaking is naturally a slower process, and large internal IT departments have to take time to learn the new technologies before they are prepared to support the mobile sales force. An SFA pilot program involving the rollout of one business unit at a time is one way for a larger enterprise to accelerate deployment.

Sales Staff Productivity. Such administrative tasks as handling order paperwork and entering call notes for management review can occupy a substantial portion of a sales rep's workday. Medtech organizations seeking ways to minimize these burdens so reps can focus on revenue-generating activities such as prospecting, physician visits, and relationship building may find mobile SFA technology helpful in this regard. A secondary benefit is a clearer window into sales activities.
Supply Chain Visibility. Most supply chain technology is focused on the movement and storage of assets in the back office. By contrast, mobile SFA illuminates every facet of the dynamic supply chain: in the warehouse, on order, and in the field. This approach to supply-chain tracking—which makes trunk inventory, consignment inventory, expired products, and rep-to-rep inventory transfers completely visible—enables medtech organizations to be more responsive to customers' needs and to be more accountable for their own assets in this era of Sarbanes-Oxley. With their sales reps using handheld tracking technology to report on the movement of their personal inventory in the field, corporations can maintain accurate supply-chain data in real time.
Conclusion
Mobile SFA technology promotes streamlined management of the technical and administrative aspects of medical technology sales and provides an attractive vehicle for delivering presentations. Medical device sales reps can use the technology to personalize and automate the sales process for enhanced effectiveness in a progressively competitive market. No matter how complex the environment, the reps have the flexibility to close the sale.
Relationship- and education-driven sales and those for which profitability depends on efficient, automated ordering are the two poles of modern healthcare equipment procurement. In each scenario, SFA technology arms field reps with detailed, real-time data to satisfy the buyer and organizational tools to function effectively throughout the entire sales process and deliver the competitive edge their employers seek.

RULE SERVED for Respondent(s) : 2 - 5, 7, 10, MR HL JANI, APP for Respondent(s) : 11, ========================================================= CORAM : HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE Z.K.SAIYED Date : 11/02/2010 ORAL JUDGMENT
The present Criminal Revision Application, under section 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, is directed against the judgment and order dated 16.01.1998 passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Palitana, in Criminal Case No. 1315 of 1992, whereby the learned Magistrate was pleased to discharge all the respondents accused from the charges levelled against them.
The brief facts of the prosecution case is that the respondent No. 1 is the company, opponent No.2 & 3 respectively are the Chairman and Managing Director of the said company and respondents No.4 to 9 are the Directors and respondent No.10 is the Production Manager of the said company. It is alleged that the respondent No.1 company is manufacturing industrial alcohol. It is also alleged that the appellant Board by its consent order dated 21.2.1986 and 22.7.1991 had laid down conditions for the discharge of effluent and the respondents were required to follow the conditions. It is alleged that on 26.02.1992 the Officers of the Board visited the respondent No.1 company and in presence of respodnent No.10 Production Manager, as per the provisions of the Act, collected the two samples of water being discharged, viz. One from the effluent coming out of the oxidation ditch and the other from the effluent coming out of the dilution tank, and sent the same for analysis. On analysis the Analyst found that the said samples were not conforming to the standards laid down by the Board. Therefore, after obtaining sanction complaint has been filed against the respondents accused. Thereafter, the trial issued summons to the respondents accused. After the evidence of the prosecution was recorded under Section 244 Cr.P.C. The trial Court heard both the sides for framing of the charge against the accused and after hearing the parties the learned Magistrate has discharged all the accused from the offences alleged against them vide order dated 16.01.1998.
3. It was contended by learned Advocate Mr. Sunil Mehta for the appellant that the judgment and order of the learned Magistrate is not proper, legal and it is erroneous. He has also contended that the opponents were discharging the polluted water of their company into the open field in contrvention of the directives of the Board and that this effluent was affecting the soil adversely and was injurious to the cattle. He also contended that at the stage of framing of the charge the learned Magistrate was required to consider whether there was any prima facie case and whether the evidence adduced so far was sufficient to frame charge against the accused. He has contended that the Board Officers have followed the rules prescribed by law and the Officer of the Board have also followed the procedure of taking the sample. The sample was seized and sealed properly. Yet, the learned Magistrate has not considered the evidence of prosecution. Therefore, the order impugned in this appeal passed by the learned Magistrate requires to be quashed and set aside.
Learned Advocate, appearing for the respondents original accused, has supported the judgment and order of acquittal passed by the trial Court and contended that the trial Court has rightly acquitted the respondents accused.
I have gone through the order passed by the trial court. I have also perused the oral as well as documentary evidence led by the trial court and also considered the submissions made by learned Advocate for the appellant. The trial court while considering the oral as well as documentary evidence has clearly observed that there is contradictory version in the evidence of witnesses. The trial Court has also found that the Board Officer has not followed the proper procedure while sending the sample to the Board Analyst. The trial Court has also observed that samples were taken on 26.2.1992 while the same were received by the Board Analyst on 3.3.1992 and, therefore, there is breach of provisions of the Rules. The trial Court has also found that the Board has committed the breach of Section 21(3)(d) and 27 of the Water Pollution Act and, therefore, prima facie the case is not proved against the accused respondents. The trial Court has also considered the various decisions of this Court as well as of the Hon'ble Apex Court and discharged the accused from the offences alleged them. Even in the present appeal, nothing is produced or pointed out to rebut the conclusion of the trial Court. Thus, from the evidence itself it is established that the prosecution has not proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. Looking to the above observation and findings of the trial Court, I am of the opinion that the trial Court has not committed any error or illegality while passing the order of discharge.
At the out-set it is required to be noted that the principles which would govern and regulate the hearing of appeal by this Court against an order passed by the trial Court have been very succinctly explained by the Hon'ble Apex Court in catena of decisions. Thus, the powers which this Court may exercise against an order of acquittal are well settled. Thus, in case the appellate Court agrees with the reasons and the findings given by the lower Court, then the discussion of evidence is not necessary.
I have gone through the Judgment and order passed by the trial Court and also perused the oral as well as documentary evidence produced before me and also considered the submissions made by the learned Advocate for the applicant. On going through the Judgment and order passed by the trial Court and the papers placed before me, I am of the opinion that the trial Court has not committed any error while discharging the respondents accused from the alleged offences. I find that the findings recorded by the trial Court are absolutely just and proper and in recording the said findings no illegality or infirmity has been committed by it. The learned Judge has rightly come to the conclusion that the prosecution has miserably failed to prove the case against the respondent accused.
I am, therefore, in complete agreement with the findings, ultimate conclusion and the resultant order of discharge recorded by the Court below and hence find no reason to interfere with the same. Hence, the Revision Application is hereby dismissed.
In view of above the Revision Application is dismissed. The Judgment and order dated 16.1.1998 passed by the learned Magistrate in Criminal Case No.1315 of 1992, discharging the respondents accused from the offences alleged against them, is hereby confirmed. Rule is discharged. Bail bond, if any, shall stands cancelled.

CHAPTER 4.5.1 The Link-State (LS) Routing Algorithm
The problem of routing a packet from source host to destination host clearly boils down to the problem of routing the packet from source router to destination router
The purpose of a routing algorithm is then simple: given a set of routers, with links connecting the routers, a routing algorithm finds a “good” path from source router to destination router.
A global routing algorithm computes the least-cost path between a source and destination using complete, global knowledge about the network. That is, the algorithm takes the connectivity between all nodes and all link costs as inputs. This then requires that the algorithm somehow obtain this information before actually performing the calculation. The calculation itself can be run at one site
The key distinguishing feature here is that a global algorithm has complete information about connectivity and link costs.
algorithms with global state information are often referred to as link-state (LS) algorithms, since the algorithm must be aware of the cost of each link in the network.
In a decentralized routing algorithm, the calculation of the least-cost path is carried out in an iterative, distributed manner. No node has complete information about the costs of all network links.
A In static routing algorithms, routes change very slowly overdistance-vector (DV) algorithm
In static routing algorithms, routes change very slowly over time, often as a result of human intervention
Dynamic routing algorithms change the routing paths as the network traffic loads or topology change.
The LS Algorithm
Each node broadcast link-state packets to all other nodes in the network
Dijkstra’s algorithm
D(v): cost of the least-cost path from the source node to destination v as of this iteration of the algorithm.
p(v): previous node (neighbor of v) along the current least-cost path from the source to v.
N' : subset of nodes; v is in N' if the least-cost path from the source to v is definitively known.
To understand this algorithm, let examine another example on a different routing graph.
Let say A is the source node. We will compute the shortest path from A to every other node in this graph

Oscillations with congestion-sensitive routing can happen where link costs are equal to the load carried on the link
One solution would be to mandate that link costs not depend on the amount of traffic carried
Another solution is to ensure that not all routers run the LS algorithm at the same time.


SUCCESS
Diffie-Hellman key exchange, also called exponential key exchange, is a method of digital encryption that uses numbers raised to specific powers to produce decryption keys on the basis of components that are never directly transmitted, making the task of a would-be code breaker mathematically overwhelming. Traditionally, secure encrypted communication between two parties required that they first exchange keys by some secure physical channel, such as paper key lists transported by a trusted courier. The Diffie–Hellman key exchange method allows two parties that have no prior knowledge of each other to jointly establish a shared secret key over an insecure channel. This key can then be used to encrypt subsequent communications using a symmetric key cipher.


Strictly's Karim Zeroual adorable secret plan for partner Amy Dowden's wedding
Karim Zeroual and his pro partner have formed an amazing bond during his time on the BBC show and now he has something very special planned for her wedding
by Jane Lavender, https://www.facebook.com/dailymirror/Their red hot dance floor chemistry has seen them shoot to the top of the Strictly leaderboard.
But despite their sizzling moves, Karim Zeroual and Amy Dowden have both rubbished rumours they have fallen victim to the Strictly 'curse'.
The CBBC star has claimed her is far "too busy" to even think about romancing Amy.
He said: "I don't really know about any rumours. I'm too busy learning to do this waltz than to worry about stuff like that."
Karim also has a secret girlfriend, who he has been dating for three years.
He is coupled up with university student, Poppy Birtwhistle, and both are keen to keep their relationship out of the public eye.
But Amy and Karim have developed such a close bond she's already invited him to her wedding to Ben Jones next year.
Amy said: "Karim is coming to my wedding next July. I'm so excited."
And Karim wants to make sure Amy's big day is extra special - and is planning a huge surprise.
He said: "I'm doing a speech but she doesn't know that."
Karim has gushed about his new found friend for life, Amy.
He said: "We tease each other constantly and it goes a bit far and she nags me a bit - bit it's all out of love."
Because of the close bond he has developed with Amy, Karim has been certain to include Poppy in his training and make sure she feels comfortable with his dance partner.
Amy is the only close friendship Karim has struck up since he has been dancing on Strictly.
The presenter and comedian Chris Ramsey have developed an adorable bromance and regularly go for sauna sessions to help them recover from training.
Karim said: "I go to the sauna and steam most nights with Chris. It’s nice. We rest our weary bones and our worries roll away."

Introduction¶
So you want to contribute to gamma-cat?
Really? Are you sure?
Great! Read on …
There are many ways to contribute to gamma-cat. We need more people that help with data entry, review data in gamma-cat for completeness and accuracy, improve the documentation, the data format schemas and the Python scripts.
We will try to describe and explain how everything works here in the contributor documentation. But we realise that in the end we will probably fall short, and if you try to contribute you will have questions about YAML or ECSV or schemas or get stuck with a git on Python question. If that happens, please don’t give up, but contact us and we will help!
Everything happens on Github here: https://www.github.com/gammapy/gamma-cat
This is a git repository that contains everything related to gamma-cat: the data entry in the
input
folder, the script make.py
and gammacat
folder with the Python scripts to
generate the output files, which are in the output
folder. The documentation
at https://gamma-cat.readthedocs.io is generated from the RST files in that repo. But not just
all the files and version control is there, Github is also the place to file “issues” for question,
discussion, feature or data entry requests, bug reports (see https://github.com/gammapy/gamma-cat/issues).
And it is also the place where all changes and additions happen, via “pull requests”
(see https://github.com/gammapy/gamma-cat/pulls ).
So if you want to contribute to gamma-cat, you have to make an account on Github. It’s free and should just take a minute. You can then find a lot of information about git and Github here: https://help.github.com/
There you will find documentation how to open “issues” and “pull requests” and resources how to learn git, as well as how to do basic things like edit or add a file directly via the Github web interface. This means that you can do some data entry or documentation improvements for gamma-cat in a simple way. If you’re new to Github and git, and the explanations below aren’t clear to you, then what you can do is to open a new issue in the gamma-cat issue tracker where you describe what you want to do (i.e. add or change something), and then we’ll try to help you do it, i.e. make your first pull request.
The following pages give you more information, focusing mostly on how to do data entry for gamma-cat, since this will be the most common way for people to contribute.

I don’t use CTags directly but through a (currently) internal library. Hence, my fields of interest are the quality of the parsers (good and comprehensive results) and their code (speed, proof against any inputs, absence of memory leaks, regression tests), and a CTags library applications could use more readily. I am mostly a C developer, but as the maintainer of the CTags parsers in Geany I work on all parsers.
Frank Fesevur<EMAIL_ADDRESS>My current use of ctags is for a Notepad++ plug-in I’m writing. The plug-in is not yet released because of problems with the Windows version of ctags. Those problems are fixed by now. I am a Windows developer, but also an occasional Ubuntu and Raspbian user at home. I wrote the windres parser.
Karol Samborski<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I like programming in multiple languages such as Haskell, C/C++, TypeScript, PHP to name a few. Ctags are useful for me as I code mostly in Vim. My goal here is to take care of the TypeScript parser.
Ken Takata<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I use ctags with Vim mainly on Windows and Cygwin. I’m the one of the heaviest contributors of Vim. I set up the AppVeyor environment and I’m also maintaining the ctags-win32 project.
Masatake YAMATO<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I’m using ctags in batch jobs running on my source code base where most of all source code in Fedora are deployed. I’m an Emacs user, so generally I don’t use ctags interactively except when hacking universal-ctags. Therefore my primary goal is to improve the robustness of parsers: I introduced Units test facility and badinput command for achieving the goal. The secondary goal is to support more languages and formats: I introduced optlib. I’m working on Fedora. I don’t have access to the other platforms.
Qingming He<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I’m mainly a Fortran developer and I use ctags combined with Emacs to handle my projects. My goal is to improve the Fortran parser to make it support Fortran standards from 77 to 2008 and maybe 2015 to be released in the near future. I’m also interested in improving the lisp parsers (elisp and scheme).
Szymon Tomasz Stefanek<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I’m a multilanguage developer and I use ctags with my own text editor which has some IDE capabilities. I’m the maintainer of the new C/C++ parser.
Vitor Antunes<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I’ve been working with Verilog for most of the last 10 years and am an avid Vim user. My goal is to improve the Verilog parser such that Vim can get the most out of it in plugins like Tagbar and to support the Omni completion plugin I am writing.

Version control is a task of keeping a software system that may consist of many versions and configurations that are well organized. Version control software keeps track of every modification to the code in a special kind of database. If an unwanted version of the code is sent to the Version Control System's database it keeps track of the previous version so that the change can be fixed or simply left out.
The advantages of this type of software are having the ability to have a team simultaneously work on a project together. Without software like version control, making large scale changes to your project could be risky if they break or if you can't always be in the same room as your team. Version control systems allow you to compare files, identify differences, and merge the changes if needed before committing any code.
Git is an open source project developed in 2005 by Linus Travolds, the creator of the Linux operating system. Git has proven the be the fastest and easiest to learn version control software out on the market with an almost scary number of commercial projects being done in collaboration with Git. Developers who have worked with Git have a leading level of prestige followed with their confidence in the ability of the program which is why it has risen to the status it does now in the developed world. Many versions of control systems can be used, some are free but the most commonly used is Git.
Init: "init" defined as initialize, sets up git to begin tracking changes to the project. Common practice is to follow up with the "git status" command to verify that indeed you are working within that directory and changes are being tracked.
Add: "git add" begins to add files to the staging area. There are multiple ways of using this tag. "git add filename-1.txt filename-2.txt" Here we are adding multiple files at once
Commit: this is the last step in the git workflow. A commit permanently stores changes from the staging area inside the repository. 1)prior to this you must add a mesage and to do so the command is "git commit -m "Here's the example". Here the "-m" stands for message. Your message should be within quotation marks, written in the present tense and within 50 characters.
Push: The git push command is used to upload local repository content to a remote repository. The git push is most commonly used to publish and upload local changes to a central repository. After a local repository has been modified a push is executed to share the modifications with remote team members.git add brncgit status 1)git push <remote> <branch>: Here you are pushing the specified barnch to <remote>. This creates a local brach in the destinantion repository. Git will prevent the push if it threatens overwriting commits in the desitination repository. 2)git push <remote> --force: Same as the above command but will force the push disregaring overwrites. 3)git push <remote> --all: Push all of your local branches to the specified remote. 4)git push <remote> --tags Push won't automatically send all of your tags along with the local branches. This command will send all tags to the remote repository.
Some of the power from this program comes from its intuitive commands within, some of most used for Git is "git init", "git add", "git commit", "git push". these commands start with the initialization of a git project, the "git init" does this making a new repository. To add code to a file such as HTML we can use the command "git add" this adds all modified and new files in the current directory to the staging area, hence preparing them for the next command. Next is the "git commit" input is used to save your changes to the local repository or Master file.
Git pull and fetch are use to download content from sources like Github. This tool is a remote repository or files safe for team projects, be it localized or remote.
A git branch is a lightweight moveable pointer to one of these commits. Branching allows the user to create a separate page away from the master to work on without affecting the master file. Branches are a local version of the master with new content inside them.
This command is git's way of piecing together your downloaded and revised version of the master branch with the newest version. the git merges command (git merge "branch name" and where "branch name") will tell the branch what is merging and where. In most cases, this is fairly linear

Shootout! Template engines on the JVM - Jeroen Reijn
Are you still using JavaServer Pages as your main template language? With the popularity of template engines for other languages like Ruby and Scala and the shift in doing more MVC in the browser there are quite some new and interesting new template languages available for the JVM. During this session we will take a look at the less known, but quite interesting new template engines and see how they compare with the industries standards.
HoneySpider Network: a Java based system to hunt down malicious websites - Niels van Eijck
Legitimate websites such as news sites happen to get compromised by attackers injecting malicious content. The aim of these so-called “watering hole attacks” is to infect as many visitors of a website as possible, and are sometimes even targeted at a specific group of individuals. It is increasingly important to detect these infections at an early stage.
HoneySpider Network to the rescue!
It is a Java based open source framework that automatically scans website urls, analyses the results and reports on any malware detected.
Attend this talk to gain a better understanding of malware detection and client honeypots and get an overview of the HoneySpider Network’s architecture, its code and its plugins it uses. A live demo is also included!
Building scalable network applications with Netty - Jaap ter Woerds
Since the introduction of the Java NIO API's with Java 4, developers have
access to modern operating system facilities to perform asynchronous IO.
Using these facilities it is possible to write networking application that that
serve thousands of connected clients efficiently. Unfortunately, the NIO API's
are quite low level and require a fair share of boilerplate to get started.
In this presentation, I will introduce the Netty framework and how its
architecture helps you as a developer stay focused on the interesting parts
of your network application. At the end of the presentation I will give some
real world examples and show how we use Netty in the architecture of our
mobile messaging platform XMS.

Reactieve applicaties ? klaar voor te toekomst - Allard Buijze
De technische eisen aan webapplicaties veranderen in hoog tempo. Enkele jaren geleden nog gebruikten de grootere applicaties enkele tientallen servers en werden response tijden van een seconde en onderhoudsvensters van enkele uren nog geaccepteerd. Tegenwoordig moeten applicaties 100% beschikbaar zijn, terwijl de gebruiker in enkele milliseconden antwoord wil krijgen. Om pieken in gebruik op te kunnen vangen moeten de applicaties op duizenden processoren in een cloud omgeving kunnen draaien.
De tekortkomingen van de huidige standaard architectuurprincipes kunnen worden opgevangen door een zogenaamde “reactive architecture”. Reactieve applicaties bezitten een aantal eigenschappen waardoor ze beter kunnen omgaan met opschalen, bestand zijn tegen fouten en bovendien efficienter gebruik maken van beschikbare server-bronnen.
In deze presentatie laat Allard zien hoe deze eigenschappen gerealiseerd kunnen worden en welke reeds bekende architectuurpatronen en frameworks hieraan een bijdrage leveren.
HTML 5 Geolocation + WebSockets + Scalable JavaEE Backend === Awesome Realtime Location Aware Applications - Shekhar Gulati
Location Aware apps are everywhere and we use them heavily in our day to day life. You have seen the stuff that Foursquare has done with spatial and you want some of that hotness for your app. But, where to start? In this session, we will build a location aware app using HTML 5 on the client and scalable JavaEE + MongoDB on the server side. HTML 5 GeoLocation API help us to find user current location and MongoDB offers Geospatial indexing support which provides an easy way to get started and enables a variety of location-based applications - ranging from field resource management to social check-ins. Next we will add realtime capabilities to our application using Pusher. Pusher provides scalable WebSockets as a service. The Java EE 6 backend will be built using couple of Java EE 6 technologies -- JAXRS and CDI. Finally , we will deploy our Java EE application on OpenShift -- Red Hat's public, scalable Platform as a Service.
Retro Gaming with Lambdas - Stephen Chin
Lambda expressions are coming in Java 8 and dramatically change the programming model. They allow new functional programming patterns that were not possible before, increasing the expressiveness and power of the Java language.
In this university session, you will learn how to take advantage of the new lambda-enabled Java 8 APIs by building out a retro video game in JavaFX.
Some of the Java 8 features you will learn about include enhanced collections, functional interfaces, simplified event handlers, and the new stream API. Start using these in your application today leveraging the latest OpenJDK builds so you can prepare for the future Java 8 release.
Data Science with R for Java Developers - Sander Mak
Understanding data is increasingly important to create cutting-edge applications. A whole new data science field is emerging, with the open source R language as a leading technology. This statistical programming language is specifically designed for analyzing and understanding data.
In this session we approach R from the perspective of Java developers. How do you get up to speed quickly, what are the pitfalls to look out for? Also we discuss how to bridge the divide between the R language and the JVM. After this session you can use your new skills to explore an exciting world of data analytics and machine learning!

A preference will be given to individuals traveling internationally to attend the Expo.


ACCU
2011 Session Proposal
Title:†††††††††††††††† Using xUnit As a Swiss Army Testing Toolkit
Type:††††††††††††††† Tutorial/Case Study
Duration:††††††††† 90 minutes
Speaker:†††††††††† Chris Oldwood
Speaker Biography
Chris started out as a bedroom coder in the 80s writing assembler on 8-bit micros; these days itís C++ and C# on Windows in big plush corporate offices. His career has covered both shrink wrapped applications and in-house systems with the past 5 years focusing on grid-based distributed systems in the Finance industry. When not attached to a keyboard and screen he has a wife and four children to entertain, dips his toe in the local swimming pool and provides the commentary for the annual Godmanchester Gala Day Duck Race.
Session Description
Modern Unit Testing practices act as a conduit for improved software designs that are more amenable to change and can be easily backed by automation for fast feedback on quality assurance. The necessity of reducing external dependencies forces us to design our modules with minimum coupling which can then be leveraged both at the module, component and subsystem levels in our testing. As we start to integrate our units into larger blocks and interface our resulting components with external systems we find ourselves switching nomenclature as we progress from Unit to Integration testing. But is a change in mindset and tooling really required?
The xUnit testing framework is commonly perceived as an aid to Unit Testing but the constraints that it imposes on the architecture mean that it is an excellent mechanism for invoking arbitrary code in a restricted context. Tests can be partitioned by categorisation at the test and fixture level and through physical packaging leading to a flexible test code structure. Throw in its huge popularity and you have a simplified learning curve for expressing more that just unit tests.
Using scenarios from his current system Chris aims to show how you can use a similar format and tooling for unit, component and integration level tests; albeit with a few liberties taken to work around the inherent differences with each methodology.

Mongo++
Mongo++ is a C++ library for accessing a Mongo database. It is open
sourced under the MIT license; see the LICENSE file for details.
mongoxx::Mapper<T>
Mapper<T>
provides the interface to map between your local
classes and BSON objects. As a user, you will care about the
following methods:
-
template <typename U> Mapper&
add_field(std::string const& name, U T::*field);
-
All
add_field
methods are used to add a field of our
target class, T
, to the mapper. The field of the offer
will be written to and read from a field named name
in
the BSON object.
-
template <typename U> Mapper& add_field(std::string const&
name, U (T::*getter)() const, void (T::*setter)(U));
-
This version of the
add_field
method is used to add a
field which is accessible through a getter and setter member
function.
-
template <typename U> Mapper&
add_field(std::string const& name, U const& (T::*getter)() const, void (T::*setter)(U const&));
-
This version of the
add_field
method is used to add a
field which is accessible through a getter and setter member function, and when
the type of the field is a non-primitive type being passed as a
const reference.
mongoxx::Table<T>
A Table<T>
is a Mapper<T>
plus a
collection name (or namespace). Generally, you will just construct a
Table<T>
and then pass it to other classes'
functions.
-
Table(std::string const& collection, Mapper<T> const& mapper);
-
Basic constructor.
-
Table(std::string const& collection);
-
When this constructor is used, you'll need to call the
add_field
methods on the Table<T> object.
-
template <typename U> Field<T, U> operator[](U
T::*member) const;
-
The
operator []
operator is a convenience function
for accessing the field() function. It allows you to refer to
mapped fields as table[&Class::member]
in filters and
update expressions.
-
template <typename U> Table& add_field(std::string
const& name, U T::*field);
-
Calls the
add_field
method on the underlying
Mapper<T>
.
-
template <typename U> Table& add_field(std::string
const& name, U (T::*getter)(), void (T::*setter)(U));
-
Calls the
add_field
method on the underlying
Mapper<T>
.
mongoxx::Session
Session maintains the database connection and provides the entry
functions to most of the library.
-
template <typename T> Query<T> query(std::string const& collection, Mapper<T> const* mapper);
-
template <typename T> Query<T> query(Table<T> const& table);
-


You probably know http://steem.arcange.eu/schedule/, where a witness can see the virtual_sheduled_time
difference, but what is this difference in hours, minutes and seconds?
The following calculations are only correct for witnesses with a rank below 21!
In order to calculate this, we need the total vote count, the number of top witnesses and the VIRTUAL_SCHEDULE_LAP_LENGTH2
.
VIRTUAL_SCHEDULE_LAP_LENGTH2
is a constant and is<PHONE_NUMBER>20938463463374607431768211455
.
When summing up all votes (I estimated the sum by calculating the witnesses with the most votes) we have the vote_sum which is currently (considering the first 400 witnesses)2692955397423812592
. Currently we have 21 top witnesses.
The conversion from virtual_shedule_time
to block_numbers
is then 1.661915774761242e-19
.
If we take then the virtual_scheduled_time
of a witness and subtracting it from the current_virtual_time
, we receive the number of blocks which have to pass until a new block is produced by the witness:
As a new block time is 3 seconds, we can calculate the time difference until a new block is produced.
The calculation result has an error when the active rank and the total rank of a witness is not equal. In this case, disabled witnesses are skipped which reduces the time until a new block is produced.
I found out about this by reading the steem source code:
If you like what I’m doing, please consider @holger80 as one of your witnesses (steemconnect).

This is just a small demonstration. It really gets interesting when you start to play with the schema on the server side. Fortunately it's
pretty easy to do.
sangria-relay-playground is available on the
GitHub
, and since it's a simple Play application using webpack ,
all it takes to start playground locally and start playing with the schema is this:
$ git clone https://github.com/sangria-graphql/sangria-relay-playground.git
$ cd sangria-relay-playground
$ npm install

EdgeSuite 4.2 ESI Examples
- Ad Example
- Displays different HTML ad output based upon the users browser type
- The browser is detected using the HTTP_USER_AGENT variable
- Attempts to esi:include the HTML for the ad by referencing an ad server
- If the ad server cannot be contacted, a default ad is sent to the browser
- Geographic Example using EdgeScape
- Displays the geographic information associated with the client's IP
address
- The geographic information for the client's IP address is stored in
the EdgeScape database and made available through the $(GEO) variable
- Displays only the geographic information that
is currently available for the client's IP address
- Includes description of each geographic value available
-
- Based on the country location of the client, loads corresponding
country home page for the web site.
- Note, only the ESI source code is displayed in this example.
- Eliminating a Splash Screen for Geographies Example using EdgeScape
- The following ESI example eliminates the need for a splash screen
that gathers an end-users geographic information and directs them to
the appropriate page accordingly. Using ESI the spash screen can be eliminated
as it can use the EdgeScape information in ESI to send the user automatically
to the appropriate page.
- End users country code is checked by ESI's $(GEO) variable and if
it matches US, DE, JP or FR the appropriate country page is returned. If
none of the country codes checked match, a default page is returned.
- User Agent Example
- Example to show how to use the HTTP_USER_AGENT variable to determine
the client's browser type, and OS type
- Page footer with View ESI Source Example
- Dynamically creates the view source link based upon the query string
value
- Determines if the page is being called as an esi:included fragment
or being referenced directly so you can view the source of the page itself.
- Date Example
- Displays a date string using the $strftime() function
-
- The example dynamically builds the esi:include source URL based on
the current date.
- Note, only the ESI source code is displayed in this example.
- Loop Example
- Displays multiple values of query string with the same name using
a list, and recursively iterating through the list by using a recursive
esi:include
- Note, ESI supports up to five levels of includes
- Page Rotation Example (Query String)
- Uses a query string parameter to determine which page to esi:include from a list of pages
- Uses a dictionary of numbers as strings to numbers as numbers to create
the navigation, which requires numeric operators
- Dynamically builds the previous and next links using the $(REQUEST_PATH)
variable
- Page Rotation Example (Cookies)
- Uses a cookie to determine which page to esi:include from a list of pages
- Uses a dictionary of numbers as strings to numbers as numbers to determine
which page to display based on numeric operators
- Uses a dictionary of numbers as numbers to numbers as strings to add
the number as string value to the cookie
- The function $add_header() is used to set the cookie used to determine
which page to esi:include
- Image Rotation Example
- Uses a query string parameter to determine which image to display in the HTML image tag from a list of images
- Uses a dictionary of numbers as strings to numbers as numbers to create
the navigation, which requires numeric operators
- Dynamically builds the previous and next links using the $(REQUEST_PATH)
variable
- Randomly Chosen Image Example
- Uses rand() function to randomly display an image picked from a predefined list of images
- Web Tour using Query String Example
- Uses a query string parameter to
determine which URL to display in the HTML frame from a list of URLs

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)
Director: Richard Donner Cast: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, Chris Rock, Jet Li Screenplay: Jonathan Lemkin, Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, Channing Gibson Producers: Richard Donner, Joel Silver Runtime: 128 min. US Distribution: Warner Bros. Rated R: violence, language
By Nathaniel R. Atcheson<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I try not to go into films with extreme expectations in either direction, but when it comes to a series that, in my opinion, has outstayed its welcome, I can't help but be skeptical. Such was the case with Lethal Weapon 4, the previews for which all made the film look like a big joke of a movie. Before seeing it, the biggest surprise I got was finding out that it's actually rated R, and that the producers hadn't wimped out and gone for the PG-13 rating to make the audience wider.
I love the first two films, because they center around the characters and their realistic struggles. Sure, they're funny movies, and quirky a lot of the time, but they're also gritty in such a way that sets them apart from other buddy-cop movies. Lethal Weapon 3 is a bore, a formulaic and mediocre action film in every way. I figured the fourth film would be even worse, going strictly for laughs without presenting its story with any degree of seriousness. And I was right -- Lethal Weapon 4 does go mostly for laughs, and doesn't take its own story seriously. And, oddly enough, it works. It's not risky, nor is it near the quality of the first two films, but it's fun and effective as entertainment. It also expands on the characters in a surprisingly full way, and any sequel that does this has my respect.
As the posters all say, "The gang's all here!" This, of course, refers to Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover). It also refers to the large assemblage of supporting characters, including Leo Getz (Joe Pesci), Lorna (Rene Russo), and now Detective Butters (Chris Rock). Five protagonists is a bit steep for any film, even a two-hour-plus action movie (especially a two-hour-plus action movie), but, thankfully, Lethal Weapon 4 doesn't regress to Batman & Robin status -- none of the characters are pointless or underused.
The story, however, is a little on the weak side. Well, it's actually about as weak as any story I've heard this year. It centers around some bad Chinese men (led by a very bad man played by Jet Li), who attempt to counterfeit a large sum of money to bring a few Chinese diplomats (perhaps they are diplomats...the film never quite explains their significance) into America, where, according to Li's character, laws can be avoided using money. What I've described takes place only in the final hour of the film; the first hour is spent in limbo, where we see our heroes delivering some truly well-written dialogue.
In any event, director Richard Donner is clearly more interested in the subplots, probably because the subplots are far more interesting. All the female characters begin the film pregnant; Riggs' struggles come when he realizes that Lorna wants to marry him. Meanwhile, Murtaugh's daughter is pregnant and married to Butters, but they've kept these rather large secrets from her father. Then there's Leo, who is, once again, present for no discernable reason except to profusely utilize the f-word and extract large bouts of laughter from the audience.
I don't often enjoy films when it's obvious that basically no thought was put into the story. This is a film that doesn't rely on plotting or pacing, but on dialogue and individual episodes. The film is so successful as a comedy that I'm strangely dictated to ignore the serious shortcomings in the story and simply enjoy it for the masterful and fluid way in which it's been presented. The action is nothing particularly new, but it holds with the standards of the series. There is, however, a truly excellent finale which takes place on a dock in the rain at night. And I liked the scene that had Riggs surfing the street on a wooden table.
It's odd, really, that the film entirely forfeits a chance at a story, and still manages character development. It's nice to see that the characters who've been brought back are the same, and fleshed out a little bit more (even Riggs and Murtaugh). It's also nice to see a colorful supporting cast put to good use -- Rock is terrific and hilarious as Murtaugh's new son-in-law, while Joe Pesci has removed himself from my Most Hated Actors list by delivering a strangely affecting and truly funny performance. Li makes an effective and sometimes-sympathetic villain. And, of course, Gibson and Glover maintain their undeniable chemistry which has made the series so popular over the last decade.
Some people think that sheer entertainment value isn't enough to make a film worth watching. I think that it is, and when a film is as skillfully assembled as Lethal Weapon 4, there's no reason to trash it just because the story is absurd. Sure, a better story would have made a better movie, and I didn't always get the feeling that the people involved were interested in making a good movie. But that's irrelevant -- I laughed, and the full theater of people with whom I watched this film laughed, too. I also cared about the characters, and felt good when Riggs sees his newborn daughter for the first time. Oh, who needs a story, anyway?

LCP -- FARSITE v.4 LCP Format
Driver short name
LCP
Driver built-in by default
This driver is built-in by default
FARSITE v. 4 landscape file (LCP) is a multi-band raster format used by wildland fire behavior and fire effect simulation models such as FlamMap (firelab.org). The bands of an LCP file store data describing terrain, tree canopy, and surface fuel. The LANDFIRE Program provides geospatial data in LCP format to support fire simulation modeling.
An LCP file (.lcp) is basically a raw format with a 7,316-byte header described below. The data type for all bands is 16-bit signed integer. Bands are interleaved by pixel. Five bands are required: elevation, slope, aspect, fuel model, and tree canopy cover. Crown fuel bands (canopy height, canopy base height, canopy bulk density), and surface fuel bands (duff, coarse woody debris) are optional. The LCP driver reports several band-level metadata items described below. The band names used are: ELEVATION, SLOPE, ASPECT, FUEL_MODEL, CANOPY_COV, CANOPY_HT, CBH, CBD, DUFF and CWD.
The LCP driver reads the linear unit, cell size, and extent, but the .lcp file does not specify a projection internally. UTM projections are typical, but other projections are possible. The driver will look for a file with .prj extension and read the coordinate system in ESRI pseudo-OGC WKT format.
LCP does not support an inherent no data value, but -9999 is used by convention to mark pixels that are not valid data.
Driver capabilities
Supports CreateCopy()
This driver supports the GDALDriver::CreateCopy()
operation
Supports Georeferencing
This driver supports georeferencing
Supports VirtualIO
This driver supports virtual I/O operations (/vsimem/, etc.)
Metadata
The GDAL LCP driver reports dataset- and band-level metadata:
Dataset
LATITUDE: Latitude of the dataset, negative for southern hemisphereLINEAR_UNIT: Feet or metersDESCRIPTION: LCP file description
Band
<band>_UNIT or <band>_OPTION: units or options code for the band<band>_UNIT_NAME or <band>_OPTION_DESC: descriptive name of units/options<band>_MIN: minimum value<band>_MAX: maximum value<band>_NUM_CLASSES: number of classes, -1 if > 100<band>_VALUES: comma-delimited list of class values (fuel model band only)<band>_FILE: original input raster file name for the band
Note: The LCP driver derives from the RawDataset helper class declared in frmts/raw. It should be implemented as lcpdataset.cpp.
Creation Options
The LCP driver supports CreateCopy() and metadata values can be set via creation options. Below is a list of options with default values listed first.
ELEVATION_UNIT=[METERS/FEET]: Defaults to
METERS
. Vertical unit for elevation band.SLOPE_UNIT=[DEGREES/PERCENT]: Defaults to
DEGREES
.ASPECT_UNIT=[AZIMUTH_DEGREES/GRASS_CATEGORIES/GRASS_DEGREES]: Defaults to
AZIMUTH_DEGREES
.FUEL_MODEL_OPTION=[NO_CUSTOM_AND_NO_FILE/CUSTOM_AND_NO_FILE/NO_CUSTOM_AND_FILE/CUSTOM_AND_FILE]: Defaults to
NO_CUSTOM_AND_NO_FILE
. Specify whether or not custom fuel models are used, and if a custom fuel model file is present.CANOPY_COV_UNIT=[PERCENT/CATEGORIES]: Defaults to
PERCENT
.CANOPY_HT_UNIT=[METERS_X_10/FEET/METERS/FEET_X_10]: Defaults to
METERS_X_10
.CBH_UNIT=[METERS_X_10/METERS/FEET/FEET_X_10]: Defaults to
METERS_X_10
.CBD_UNIT=[KG_PER_CUBIC_METER_X_100/POUND_PER_CUBIC_FOOT/KG_PER_CUBIC_METER/POUND_PER_CUBIC_FOOT_X_1000/TONS_PER_ACRE_X_100]: Defaults to
KG_PER_CUBIC_METER_X_100
.DUFF_UNIT=[MG_PER_HECTARE_X_10/TONS_PER_ACRE_X_10]: Defaults to
MG_PER_HECTARE_X_10
.CALCULATE_STATS=[YES/NO]: Defaults to
YES
. Calculate and write the min/max for each band and write the appropriate flags and values in the header. This is mostly a legacy feature used for creating legends.CLASSIFY_DATA=[YES/NO]: Defaults to
YES
. Classify the data into 100 unique values or less and write and write the appropriate flags and values in the header. This is mostly a legacy feature used for creating legends.LINEAR_UNIT=[SET_FROM_SRS/METER/FOOT/KILOMETER]: Defaults to
SET_FROM_SRS
. Set the linear unit, overriding (if it can be calculated) the value in the associated spatial reference. If no spatial reference is available, it defaults to METER.LATITUDE=-90-90: Override the latitude from the spatial reference. If no spatial reference is available, this should be set, otherwise creation will fail.
DESCRIPTION=value: A short description(less than 512 characters) of the dataset
Creation options that are units of linear measure are fairly lenient. METERS=METER and FOOT=FEET for the most part.
Note: CreateCopy does not scale or change any data. By setting the units for various bands, it is assumed that the values are in the specified units.

Low Income Scheme prototype
Alpha sprint 1
Created mid May 2016
Pensioner MVP
What we tested:
- Full end to end journey for Bill persona
- Bill has full entitlement (HC1)
What we found:
- Overall, users found this easy to use.
- Biggest issues were around:
- 1) known issues below
- 2) didn’t feel like they had finished at the end,
- 3) language,
- 4) benefit questions.
- Users want to know what part of their rent they need to tell us about, if they get help towards it.
- They need clear feedback that the application has been submitted and what the next steps are.
- Users who are low on the digital inclusion scale could use this, but require the correct language to understand it.
Known issues:
- No error messages in the prototype.
- No feedback when sections are done.
- Uses dummy data on summary screens.
- Users don't understand benefits and use different names for them.
- We need to understand how often people pay for things like rent and be more explicit about monthly, four weekly vs calendar month.

'On the right side of history': Jacinda Ardern hails New Zealand zero-carbon law – video
by Parliament of New ZealandThe New Zealand prime minister's zero-carbon bill has passed in parliament with historic cross-party support. It commits the country to new climate change laws and to reduce its carbon emissions to zero by 2050 in line with the Paris climate agreement. The bill passed by 119 votes to one with the centre-right opposition National party's support, despite none of its proposed amendments being accepted
