Uploads: Folder and File Specs
Uploads: Folder and File Specs
Publishers (or in-house scanners) who upload issues must adhere to very strict structures for issue organization.
Born-Digital
The folder structure tells us the newspaper title and issue date. e.g.,
/mnt/news/sftp/sn12345678/2018-01-02
would mean the January 2nd, 2018 edition
of title sn12345678
. Note that the “sftp directory” can be used instead
of the LCCN if they differ (for historical reasons - the legacy app’s
born-digital and scan processors were very separated).
The issue should contain PDFs and nothing else. Publishers should never upload tertiary files. Ideally, publishers should upload one PDF for the entire issue, with pages in the order they wish to see on the ONI site, as that reduces (or eliminates) the need to have anybody reviewing these issues' pages.
Some publishers may be unable (or unwilling) to comply with the aforementioned folder structure. It may be necessary to build a custom pre-processor that takes uploaded files and restructures them for the application. In some cases, there may even need to be human intervention to determine the right issue folder name.
Note: Currently NCA puts all born-digital issues into a single MARC Org
Code when generating batches (determined by the PDF_BATCH_MARC_ORG_CODE
setting), and doesn’t support having multiple editions of a single date.
Scans
The folder structure tells us the same information as with born-digital
uploads, but also includes a MARC Org Code. e.g.,
/mnt/news/scans/oru/sn12345678/2018-01-02
would be the January 2nd, 2018
issue of title sn12345678
, and would be assigned the oru
awardee when
batched.
Additionally, issues can have multiple editions by adding _dd
to the issue
folder name; e.g., .../2018-01-02_03
would designate the third edition
for January 2nd, 2018.
These issues should contain one TIFF per page and one PDF per page. The PDF should contain the TIFF’s image with OCR information as an application like Abbyy produces.
To conform closely to the NDNP spec, the TIFF files should be at least 300dpi and the PDFs should contain a 150dpi JPEG image encoded at about a quality of 40 (or “medium”).


Architecture Vision
and Development Practices
### Bakers Team Goals
- Support reliability in Our Daily Bread's software infrastructure
- Equip developers with tools and systems to achieve their teams' goals
- Train teams to take ownership of their own application architecture
- Build automated processes wherever possible to free up more time for development
### Testing
- We have done a great job of starting to implement automated testing in our processes
- We have reported 40% code coverage already!
- We know that we have had frustrations will failing tests
### Why Do Tests Fail?
Tests fail from two main reasons:
1. Our code does not work well
2. The test does not work well
### When code does not work well
When our code does not work well, we simply need to fix it.
This is the purpose of testing. We should not be releasing features when the tests tell us our code
is not working
### When the test does not work well
Tests are code too, so this means that sometimes we write poor tests. When this happens we can
either:
1. Fix the tests right away
2. Skip the test (by adding .skip around your spec) and create a bug ticket for *fixing the test
functionality*
### When the test does not work well
Option number two allows you to not disrupt your development (people > process), but also not ignore
the problem.
### When the test does not work well
If the test that is failing is for the feature you are currently working on, you should always do
option number one.
Ignoring failing tests is not an option anymore
### Common Cypress Mistakes
- Using async/await
- Using the UI to log in
- Relying on test data that is bound to change
### Common Cypress Fixes
- Using async/await *Don't*
- Using the UI to log in *Use cy.login instead*
- Relying on test data that is bound to change *Use mocking and stubbing, shallow render, and/or
right unit tests instead.*
See https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/best-practices.html
### Security
- Thank you for not killing us after we started implementing MFA
- Security is very important to protect our users and our organization
- The Bakers team will focus on analyzing and remediating security issues in our systems
- The following NFR has been added:
*Admin API requests need to use an authorizer to prevent access
to end users (not just hiding the admin screen)*
## The Future of Our Architecture
### The Future of Our Architecture
We have a few goals for our architecture that we believe will help us achieve the organizational
mission and vision.
These include:
- Migration Away From WordPress In Favor of Crouton
- Collecting and Analyzing Big Data (we need to start collecting more data)
- Utilizing ElasticSearch technology for admins and users
### How Will We Achieve This?
- Migration Away From WordPress In Favor of Crouton
*Don't create anything new in WordPress for daily devos sites.
Develop microservices and React
components instead*
### How Will We Achieve This?
- Collecting and Analyzing Big Data
*Start collecting data and feedback (without violating user privacy)*
### How Will We Achieve This?
- Utilizing ElasticSearch technology for admins and users
_Bakers will have objective for implementing elastic search for post by scripture reference (as
prototype)_
### How Will We Achieve This?
We will be working to help align both business and architectural goals in future features.

Service Manager - Instantiation by Interface Specification
A Clifton Method Core Component - Part II
Complete source code, including the demo here
This article builds on what I call "The Clifton Method" of software development. The first article in this series is The Module Manager, and while this code in this article stands on its own, it is ultimately intended to work in conjunction with the Module Manager.
The concept of instantiating concrete instances via an interface specification should be a well known pattern of the dependency inversion principle. As that Wikipedia link summarizes:
In object-oriented programming, the dependency inversion principle refers to a specific form of decoupling software modules. When following this principle, the conventional dependency relationships established from high-level, policy-setting modules to low-level, dependency modules are reversed, thus rendering high-level modules independent of the low-level module implementation details. The principle states:
Similar to the Module Manager, the Service Manager provides the ability to decouple dependencies between objects. An "dependency entangled" application instantiates classes directly. One can come up with many examples of dependency entanglement:
In these situations, the dependency between the high level component and the low level component is hard-wired in the implementation. Should the requirements change, the code requires considerable rework to either replace or abstract out the low level dependencies. The problem gets more complicated when the low level components themselves interface to higher level components, for example, when user interface events, handled by a controller, require database I/O that can affect the user interface:
The Dependency Inversion Principle decouples the dependencies such that both high level and low level components can be changed without breaking the code. This results in an implementation that looks a bit more like this:
In this diagram, both high and low level components have been abstracted such that the application (not shown) can be implemented using interfaces, rather than concrete classes, achieving a high level of decoupling between "what the application wants to do" vs. "how the component does it."
The above diagram illustrates that more work (sometimes considerably more work) is required on the part of the programmer to create the interfaces, specify the interface behaviors, and in many cases, write wrappers that implement the interface behaviors. For example, a more accurate picture of the UI abstraction might look like this:
The balance the architect (not the developer, unless they are the same person) must achieve between entanglement and abstraction is often determined by questions like:
Unfortunately, the answers to both questions often requires a crystal ball!
That said, when a happy medium is determined, the resulting application is more robust and amenable to change, typically resulting in a longer lifetime, and future changes are less costly to implement. One of the immediate uses of this approach is that services can be easily mocked, which facilitates unit testing and application development when either the service hasn't yet been implemented or, for example, is associated with hardware that you may not have available.
The Service Manager is a lightweight implementation of the Dependency Inversion Principle. In a nutshell, components, whether high or low level, are instantiated by associating the concrete implementation with an interface.
Here's a minimal example:
using System; using Clifton.Core.ServiceManagement; namespace ServiceManagerDemo { public interface IAnimal : IService { void Speak(); } public interface ICat : IAnimal { } public interface IDog : IAnimal { } public class Cat : ServiceBase, ICat { public void Speak() { Console.WriteLine("Meow"); } } public class Dog : ServiceBase, IDog { public void Speak() { Console.WriteLine("Woof"); } } class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { ServiceManager svcMgr = new ServiceManager(); svcMgr.RegisterSingleton<ICat, Cat>(); svcMgr.RegisterSingleton<IDog, Dog>(); IAnimal animal1 = svcMgr.Get<ICat>(); IAnimal animal2 = svcMgr.Get<IDog>(); animal1.Speak(); animal2.Speak(); } } }
In this example, observe how:
IAnimal
is the effectively the pure abstract
specification for anything that derives from it. ICat
and IDog
, are derived from
IAnimal
but do not
contain any specific implementation.Cat
and Dog
derives from
ICat
and IDog
,
respectively, and implements the IAnimal
behavior.Cat
and
Dog
are singletons--they are instantiated only once and subsequent Get calls
return the one and only instance.The interface IService
and the abstract class ServiceBase
are
provided by the Service Manager will be discussed later.
What's interesting about this architecture is that the interfaces themselves are abstracted:
A common interface IAnimal
describes the behavior of the
abstracted concept.
Empty child interfaces deriving from IAnimal
provide the
means for mapping the "concrete" interface with a "concrete" implementor,
thus determining which "animal" is to be instantiated.
Typically, "concrete" interfaces do not have further behavior specification, though there may be reasons why this is useful / necessary.
When registering a singleton, it is actually instantiated immediately by the service manager.
Services are often singletons, but one can instantiate more than one instance
of a service as well. In this example, we'll look at created multiple
instances of Cat
:
using System; using Clifton.Core.ServiceManagement; namespace ServiceManagerInstanceDemo { public interface IAnimal : IService { string Name { get; set; } void Speak(); } public interface ICat : IAnimal { } public abstract class Animal : ServiceBase { public string Name { get; set; } public abstract void Speak(); } public class Cat : Animal, ICat { public override void Speak() { Console.WriteLine(Name + " says 'Meow'"); } } public static class InstanceDemo { public static void Demo() { ServiceManager svcMgr = new ServiceManager(); svcMgr.RegisterInstanceOnly<ICat, Cat>(); IAnimal cat1 = svcMgr.Get<ICat>(); cat1.Name = "Fido"; IAnimal cat2 = svcMgr.Get<ICat>(); cat2.Name = "Morris"; cat1.Speak(); cat2.Speak(); } } }
Notice how:
RegisterInstanceOnly
instead of
RegisterSingleton
. Speak
is still abstract, as the Name property is common to all animals now.We can also specify a function in the Get
method to assign values to
properties as part of the Get
call, for example:
IAnimal cat2 = svcMgr.Get<ICat>(cat => cat.Name = "Morris");
Frequently a service is exclusive of all other implementers. The application may, for example, require only one database
service. Different installations may require connecting to a different
database, but the scenario where the application connects to two different
database services at the same time doesn't occur. This creates a simpler scenario for
the interface implementation -- in the examples that I've been using, the
"Animal" service, if viewed as an exclusive service, is implemented either by
Cat
or Dog
, and we never need to implement both simultaneously:
using System; using Clifton.Core.ServiceManagement; namespace ServiceManagerExclusiveDemo { public interface IAnimal : IService { void Speak(); } public class Cat : ServiceBase, IAnimal { public void Speak() { Console.WriteLine("Meow"); } } public static class ExclusiveDemo { public static void Demo() { ServiceManager svcMgr = new ServiceManager(); svcMgr.RegisterSingleton<IAnimal, Cat>(); IAnimal animal = svcMgr.Get<IAnimal>(); animal.Speak(); } } }
As the above code illustrates, the implementation is simpler.
The Service Manager is not a dependency injection framework (DIF) -- you will note that the singleton and instance examples above, the code still needs to reference the concrete interface that maps to the concrete implementation:
IAnimal animal1 = svcMgr.Get<ICat>(); IAnimal animal2 = svcMgr.Get<IDog>();
Here, the code is still specifying the concrete interface. Typically you will want to instantiate the class from the concrete interface, but there are may be situations in which the concrete interface is not known at compile time, instead it is determined at runtime. This can be handled by a DIF which injects the concrete instance into a property at runtime, but in my opinion, that adds a lot of unnecessary kruft.
This problem can be solved by specifying the type, not as a generic
parameter, but rather as an actual Type
parameter that you acquire from somewhere
else (configuration file, etc). Here's a rather simplified example in which we first assume some
process is mapping concrete interfaces with concrete implementers.
public static void RegisterServices() { svcMgr = new ServiceManager(); svcMgr.RegisterSingleton<ICat, Cat>(); svcMgr.RegisterSingleton<IDog, Dog>(); }
Let's say we want to call an operation that is going to use the IAnimal
service, but it doesn't know what concrete interface to use. We have two
options. We can make the call like this (here IDog
and ICat
are
implemented in my demo namespace):
ByTypeDemo.ByTypeParameter(typeof(ServiceManagerByTypeDemo.ICat)); ByTypeDemo.ByTypeParameter(typeof(ServiceManagerByTypeDemo.IDog));
and implement the method like this (please note that the use of static
is
only for the convenience of the demo):
public static void ByTypeParameter(Type someAnimal) { IAnimal animal = svcMgr.Get<IAnimal>(someAnimal); animal.Speak(); }
This however has the disadvantage of losing type consistency -- we know
longer guarantee that someAnimal
implements IAnimal
, which means that if it
doesn't, we'll get a runtime error.
A better call and implementation would look like this:
public static void ByGenericParameter<T>() where T : IAnimal { IAnimal animal = svcMgr.Get<T>(); animal.Speak(); }
The second approach is much better because it enforces at compile time the
type of the generic parameter. The implementer needs to only know the
generic interface IAnimal
, not the concrete interfaces ICat
and IDog
,
but none-the-less, it is guaranteed that the generic parameter is of type
IAnimal
.
The Service Manager is itself implemented as a service:
public class ServiceManager : ServiceBase, IServiceManager
This means that, in conjunction with the Module Manager, the Service Manager
can be loaded as a service, and that the service provided by the Service Manager
is itself abstracted and replaceable (as long as you implement IServiceManager
!)
The Service Manager is intended to be thread safe, so the three pieces of
information that it manages use ConcurrentDictionary
:
protected ConcurrentDictionary<Type, Type> interfaceServiceMap; protected ConcurrentDictionary<Type, IService> singletons; protected ConcurrentDictionary<Type, ConstructionOption> constructionOption;
The only time a lock is required is when creating or returning a previously created singleton -- we need the lock here to prevent two threads from simultaneously either attempting to create a singleton, or one thread creating the singleton while another thread is attempted to acquire the singleton:
/// <summary> /// Return a registered singleton or create it and register it if it isn't registered. /// </summary> protected IService CreateOrGetSingleton<T>(Action<T> initializer) where T : IService { Type t = typeof(T); IService instance; lock (locker) { if (!singletons.TryGetValue(t, out instance)) { instance = CreateAndRegisterSingleton<T>(initializer); } } return instance; }
Instance registration involves adding an entry to the interface service map and preserving the fact that the type is intended to be an instance:
public virtual void RegisterInstanceOnly<I, S>() where I : IService where S : IService { Type interfaceType = typeof(I); Type serviceType = typeof(S); Assert.Not(interfaceServiceMap.ContainsKey(interfaceType), "The service " + GetName<S>() + " has already been registered."); interfaceServiceMap[interfaceType] = serviceType; constructionOption[interfaceType] = ConstructionOption.AlwaysInstance; }
Singleton registration involves adding an entry to the interface service map and instantiating the singleton:
public virtual void RegisterSingleton<I, S>(Action<I> initializer = null) where I : IService where S : IService { Type interfaceType = typeof(I); Type serviceType = typeof(S); Assert.Not(interfaceServiceMap.ContainsKey(interfaceType), "The service " + GetName<S>() + " has already been registered."); interfaceServiceMap[interfaceType] = serviceType; constructionOption[interfaceType] = ConstructionOption.AlwaysSingleton; RegisterSingletonBaseInterfaces(interfaceType, serviceType); // Singletons are always instantiated immediately so that they can be initialized // for global behaviors. A good example is the global exception handler services. CreateAndRegisterSingleton<I>(initializer); }
For both singletons and instance services, the instance, when created, is created, registered, and an initialization method is called (discussed below):
protected virtual IService CreateAndRegisterSingleton<T>(Action<T> initializer = null) where T : IService { IService instance = CreateInstance<T>(initializer); Register<T>(instance); instance.Initialize(this); return instance; } protected IService CreateInstance<T>(Action<T> initializer) where T : IService { Type t = typeof(T); IService instance = (IService)Activator.CreateInstance(interfaceServiceMap[t]); initializer.IfNotNull((i) => i((T)instance)); return instance; }
If we were using C# 6.0, we
could replace the IfNotNull
extension method with:
initializer?.((T)instance));
but I haven't upgraded the code base to C# 6.0 yet!
When we request a service, the Service Manager checks whether we want, based on the registration, a singleton or an instance:
public virtual T Get<T>(Action<T> initializer = null) where T : IService { IService instance = null; VerifyRegistered<T>(); Type interfaceType = typeof(T); switch (constructionOption[interfaceType]) { case ConstructionOption.AlwaysInstance: instance = CreateInstance<T>(initializer); instance.Initialize(this); break; case ConstructionOption.AlwaysSingleton: instance = CreateOrGetSingleton<T>(initializer); break; default: throw new ApplicationException("Cannot determine whether the service " + GetName<T>() + " should be created as a unique instance or as a singleton."); } return (T)instance; }
If we didn't register the service ahead of time as a singleton or instance service, we have to explicitly state what type of instance we want by calling either of these methods:
/// <summary> /// If allowed, returns a new instance of the service implement interface T. /// </summary> public virtual T GetInstance<T>(Action<T> initializer = null) where T : IService { VerifyRegistered<T>(); VerifyInstanceOption<T>(); IService instance = CreateInstance<T>(initializer); instance.Initialize(this); return (T)instance; } /// <summary> /// If allowed, creates and registers or returns an existing service that implements interface T. /// </summary> public virtual T GetSingleton<T>(Action<T> initializer = null) where T : IService { VerifyRegistered<T>(); VerifySingletonOption<T>(); IService instance = CreateOrGetSingleton<T>(initializer); return (T)instance; }
This mechanism allows us to acquire either a singleton or an instance, as the application requires. The Service Manager allows us to have a singleton as well as multiple instances, but this is an unusual case, and typically we specify the intended usage at registration so that the Service Manager can assert that the application is using the service as intended.
Even if a service implements a concrete interface derived from the abstract interface, the "magic" of being able to use the abstract interface is handled by walking the interface hierarchy and registering all interfaces in the hierarchy.
/// <summary> /// Singletons are allowed to also register their base type so that applications can reference singleton services by the common type /// rather than their instance specific interface type. /// </summary> protected virtual void RegisterSingletonBaseInterfaces(Type interfaceType, Type serviceType) { Type[] itypes = interfaceType.GetInterfaces(); foreach (Type itype in itypes) { interfaceServiceMap[itype] = serviceType; constructionOption[itype] = ConstructionOption.AlwaysSingleton; } }
This is a bit dangerous because no assertion is made that there is one and only one generic interface associated with the exclusive service. To do this, we might resort to using an attribute on the generic interface to indicate that any derived concrete interfaces are exclusive, but I haven't implemented that.
All services must be derived from IService
, which provides compile-time
validation that the service is being registered and instances of the service are
acquired correctly.
namespace Clifton.Core.ServiceManagement { public interface IService { IServiceManager ServiceManager { get; } void Initialize(IServiceManager srvMgr); void FinishedInitialization(); } }
A service must either implement the ServiceManager
property and the two
methods above, or derive from ServiceBase
which provides a default
implementation:
namespace Clifton.Core.ServiceManagement { /// <summary> /// A useful base class for a default implementation of IService methods. /// </summary> public abstract class ServiceBase : IService { public IServiceManager ServiceManager { get; set; } public virtual void Initialize(IServiceManager svcMgr) { ServiceManager = svcMgr; } public virtual void FinishedInitialization() { } } }
Why is this necessary or useful, especially since the Service Manager itself never calls these methods?
FinishedInitialization
, which tells the module that all
services have been registered, and it can now do any final
initialization with services on which it depends.We will see in the next article how the Module Manager and Service Manager work together.
Using a service manager is one of those essential tools in the programmer's toolbox for implementing the dependency inversion principle. Applications implemented using a service manager are well on their way toward adhering to the SOLID principles of object oriented programming:
The Service Manager presented here begins to create a firm footing in the last three principles (L, I, and D.) Using the code presented here and its use of generic parameters, or a similar implementation of your own can provide compile-time type checking while decoupling concrete implementations, resulting in a flexible application exhibiting good independence of both high level and low level objects.

Good penetration tests do not simply check for un-patched systems. They also test the capabilities of the target organization. To that end, below is a list of things that you can benchmark while testing.
Ability to detect and respond to information gathering
Ability to detect and respond to foot printing
Ability to detect and respond to scanning and vuln analysis
Ability to detect and respond to infiltration (attacks)
Ability to detect and respond to data aggregation
Ability to detect and respond to data ex-filtration
When tracking this information be sure to collect time information. For example, if a scan is detected you should be notified and note what level of scan you were preforming at the ti

I have competed my Sideways Grande Hat from Boutique Knits and I am in love. It is beautiful and soft and the colour is so rich and warm. I forgot to mention in my previous post that the cable is actually false. It's a very quick knit, as long as you don't mess it up, ahem. With the weird weather we are experiencing at the moment (doesn't make for great photo's), I can foresee some more 'Summer' knitting in my future. Here is a link to my Ravelry notes.

SEON provides a well-grounded network of SE reference ontologies, and mechanisms for deriving and incorporating new integrated domain ontologies into the network.
SEON results from various efforts on building ontologies for the Software Engineering (SE) field. Although SEON itself is a new proposal, the studies and ontologies developed along the years are important contributions for defining this network. Hence, SEON rises with three main premises:
Currently, the SEON Network is composed of the networked ontologies shown in Figure 1.
SEON architecture is organized considering three ontology generality levels as Figure 2 shows.
At the bottom of SEON, there is the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO), which is developed based on a number of theories from Formal Ontology, Philosophical Logics, Philosophy of Language, Linguistics and Cognitive Psychology. UFO [1] is divided in three parts: an ontology of endurants (objects), an ontology of perdurants (events), and an ontology of social entities. UFO's ontological distinctions are used for classifying SEON concepts, e.g., as objects, actions, commitments, agents, roles, goals and so on. UFO provides the necessary grounding for the concepts and relations of all networked ontologies.
In the center of SEON, providing the SE core knowledge for the network, there is the Software Process Ontology (SPO). SPO is a core ontology grounded in UFO, aiming at establishing a common conceptualization on software processes. SPO scope embraces the following aspects of the software process domain: standard, project and performed processes and their activities, artifacts handled, resources used and procedures adopted, and stakeholders participation. SPO reuses some concepts from the Enterprise Ontology (EO), a core ontology on enterprises (external to SEON), for dealing with aspects related to organizations, such as team membership. Another external ontology related to this layer is the Core Ontology on Measurements (COM)
Over the foundational and core layers, domain ontologies appear. Each domain networked ontology is grounded in core ontologies and in UFO, and encompasses a SE subdomain (e.g., software requirements, design, configuration management, and measurement). Although not explicit in Figure 2, more specific domain ontologies can be developed based on other more general domain ontologies. For instance, ontologies addressing runtime requirements (RRO), goal-oriented requirements (GORO) and the requirements development process (RDPO) were developed based on the Reference Software Requirements Ontology (RSRO). For matter of organization, domain networked ontologies can be grouped in subnetworks, as the Requirements engineering Ontology subNetwork (ReqON).
In a nutshell, the foundational ontology offers the ontological distinctions for the core and domain layers, while the core layer offers the SE core knowledge for building the domain networked ontologies. This way of grounding the ontologies in the network is helpful for engineering the networked ontologies, since it provides ontological consistency and makes a number of modeling decisions easier.
As SEON grows, the number of network ontologies and their concepts increases. In order to facilitate exploring the network and identifying the concepts for integration or reusing, the SEON Specification provides a simple search mechanism. This feature is able to locate the desired concepts by maching the search string with the concepts' names and definitions.

Abstract:
Although SQL Server is considered "secure by default", one of the most often successfully attacked targets is the data that resides in a SQL Server. Most of the exploited weaknesses are due to misconfiguration or weak coding practices. In this purely demo-based security session, I will show several real life attack scenarios on different layers. Due to special request this includes some special SQL Injection types. Furthermore I show how an elevation of privileges attack is possible due to a not uncommon configuration as well as an “insider-exploit” with a database root kit. – Note: there will be no instructions on how to attack a system, but rather highlight common weaknesses. – (almost) no slides: Demos Demos Demos
Speaker(s): Andreas Wolter,
Abstract:
With the explosion of data, the open source Apache™ Hadoop™ Framework is gaining traction thanks to its huge ecosystem that has arisen around the core functionalities of Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS™) and Hadoop Map Reduce. As of today, being able to have SQL Server working with Hadoop™ becomes increasingly important because the two are indeed complementary. For instance, while petabytes of data can be stored unstructured in Hadoop and take hours to be queried, terabytes of data can be stored in a structured way in the SQL Server platform and queried in seconds. This leads to the need to transfer data between Hadoop and SQL Server. In this session, We will explore how SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), i.e. the SQL Server Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) tool, can be used to automate Hadoop + non Hadoop job executions, and manage data transfers between Hadoop and other sources and destinations

Abstract:
SQL Server 2014 receives a very new important feature - Clustered Columnstore Indexes. Using a xVelocity compression and a batch processing mode this type of indexes which was introduced in SQL Server 2012 is greatly enhanced by making it a Clustered and making it a default recommend solution for the DataWarehouse solutions. Join to discover the Clustered Columnstore Indexes by understanding on which principles they are built and what should you do get the best out of them. This new feature is targeted at the OLAP installations and it is already available for the PDW (Parallel DataWarehouse) v2.
Speaker(s): Niko Neugebauer,
Abstract:
We will talk about how SQL Server produces query plans using estimates and statistics and why are they so important. I will share my experience of managing statistics and show you cases where wrong estimates guessing by optimizer can lead to performance issues. The session will be useful for both administrators and developers.
Speaker(s): Sergey Olontsev,
Abstract:
In this session the internals of wait types will be discovered. SQL Server database engine uses wait types for internal operations. What is the importance of the wait type? How does it help us to troubleshoot the performance? What are the wait types that are very common? What are the wait types that you can safely ignore? How can we use Extended Events to debug wait types I will assume the audience has a basic working knowledge of SQL Server including an understanding of some of the more common SQL Server engine DMVs such as sys.dm_exec_sessions, sys.dm_exec_requests and sys.dm_os_wait_stats

Do you have enough from "normal" performance tuning sessions? You can't hear anything about Indexing and Execution Plans anymore? Then you are right in this session! In this session we will walk into the heart of SQL Server, and you will see performance bottlenecks and error conditions, from which your production SQL Server's should be afraid of. You will learn some troubleshooting techniques with which you can identify and solve the most difficult SQL Server problems.

Another Pirates Defender On Suspension Tightrope...
by Soccer LadumaWith Orlando Pirates still to be without their captain Happy Jele for their upcoming match, another defender will be going into the fixture walking a suspension tightrope.
Jele, who missed Pirates’ match against Kaizer Chiefs before the international break, will sit out the second of his two-match suspension for the red card he received against Maritzburg United.
Read: Big Decisions Await For Pirates, Next 3 Matches Crucial!
Ntsikelelo Nyauza wore the captain’s armband against Chiefs, as was the case against Stellenbosch FC earlier in an earlier fixture, when Jele had also been suspended.
However, Nyauza himself is now on a suspension tightrope, after picking up his third yellow card of the campaign, against Chiefs.

Should he play against Polokwane City in Pirates’ next match on Tuesday and recieve one more yellow card, the centre-back will be suspended for the next match against Baroka FC.
In their last three matches of the year, the Buccaneers will face all three Limpopo top-flight teams in Rise and Shine, Bakgaga and Black Leopards.

What's the difference between the class and the id HTML attribute?
Multiple elements can be assigned to one class, while only one element can be assigned to one id and each id can be used once on the page.
What does DOM stand for? Explain with your own words.
DOM stands for Document Object Model, which is the hierachical structure in HTML. This is sorted in parents and children, where body and title for example is a child to html.
What Python structure does the array correspond to?
The array structure corresponds to the python element list.
Which Python container does object correspond to?
The html equivalent of objects are classes.
Consider the 5 SVG squares in example 3-22. Think about how you'd:
Add a gray boundary of width 2.
Make the squares increasingly transparant from left to right.
Make the squares 80 by 80 instead of 30 by 30.
Make the squares go from bottom of the SVG element to the top instead of the other way around.

Senior US Envoy in Syria Blasts Troop Withdrawal
by ASSOCIATED PRESSWASHINGTON (AP) — A senior U.S. diplomat has written a highly critical assessment of the Trump administration’s abrupt withdrawal of troops from northeast Syria, a decision that paved the way for an attack on U.S.-allied forces in the area, officials said Thursday.
In an internal memo, William Roebuck, the top U.S. diplomat in northern Syria, takes the Trump administration to task for not doing more to prevent Turkey’s invasion or protect the Kurds, who fought alongside U.S. forces in the battle against the Islamic State, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
One of the officials described the memo, which was obtained and revealed by The New York Times, as “lengthy and harsh.” The officials were not authorized to discuss internal documents publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Roebuck’s memo says Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops was deeply divisive, even within his own administration. The move was widely criticized by Democrats and Republicans as abandoning a key ally in the fight against the Islamic State.
Turkey invaded days after President Trump ordered U.S. special forces in the area to leave.
In the memo quoted by the Times, Roebuck said there was no way to know if more pressure on Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan would have stopped the invasion.
“It’s a tough call, and the answer is probably not. But we won’t know because we didn’t try,” the Times quoted Roebuck as writing.
He also raised concerns about the possibility that Turkish-backed militias in the invasion were undisciplined and could commit atrocities amounting to war crimes.
Roebuck, a top deputy to the U.S. special envoy for Syria, James Jeffrey, said the withdrawal of U.S forces had badly, if not irreparably, damaged the trust of the Kurds. The memo was sent to Jeffrey and a number of other officials who deal with Syria policy.
Jeffrey is in Ankara, Turkey’s capital, for discussions with the Turks on putting in place an Oct. 17 deal negotiated by Vice President Mike Pence that created a buffer zone along portions of the Turkey-Syria border. On Wednesday, a senior U.S. official said Jeffrey was raising concerns about alleged war crimes.
Trump’s order to withdraw from the northeast has been somewhat tempered by the deployment of forces to protect oilfields in Kurdish-held areas, some of which are vulnerable to attacks by ISIS, Roebuck wrote in the memo. But he said those deployments would play into long-held beliefs in the Mideast that the U.S. is only interested in the region for its oil.
The State Department refused to confirm or deny the existence of Roebuck’s memo, but offered a long statement defending the administration’s actions that tacitly admitted there is robust internal debate on Syria policy.
“No one can deny that the situation in Syria is very complicated and there are no easy solutions and no easy choices,” spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said. “This administration’s job is to do what is best for U.S. national security and the American people.”

Thanks for the hint, this did indeed prove to be a good starting point,
together with the details in Knuth's book.
By the way, I think there's a little bug in the random.cc code:
void seed(unsigned int val) {
if(val) x = val % m;
else val = 1; // shouldn't that be x=1 ?
}

Our two-day bootcamps are working well, but that doesn't mean they're the best—or only—way to teach basic computing skills to scientists. We've been kicking around other ideas recently, and we'd welcome your input as well.
Become part of a regular university course.
- Use the first few days of a course to teach Software Carpentry stuff, and the rest to teach "computational methods in [XYZ]".
- Counter-argument: SWC doesn't really fit a traditional lecture format, but can fit with in-class projects and discussions, follow-me tutorials, etc.
- And any course that includes SWC will have to be a fairly special and overly interactive course.
We have experimented at Columbia with running a two-day bootcamp at the start of a regular course, followed by 2 hours/week for the remainder of the semester—we should be able to report back on how well it works by April or May.
Offer a two-week residential course.
- Some people think a week or two of full time work is enough time to turn a neophyte into a skilled practitioner.
- Others think that is virtually impossible without several hundred hours of homework, but (a) we can accelerate that process and (b) if people already have some basic scripting, we can accelerate it further.
- Either way, this would have to include time for students to apply ideas to their own research problems.
- For example, our Trieste bootcamp last year involved one week of Software Carpentry and one week of applying those new skills to the students' actual research projects.
- Helping students apply this to their work at the end of the intensive-learning-period was super awesome.
- But participants also may have done well because they were carefully selected.
- And it costs a lot more to implement, both in money and in instructors' and learners' time.
This may basically come down to a "many but shallow vs. deep but few" argument.
Variations on this idea include:
- As a course requirement of first year of PhD
- As part of a domain-specific summer school
- 90 minute sessions on a specific topic taught during a conference.
How to keep people engaged after bootcamps?
- Offer a robust set of links to online communities by domain.
- Show people where and how to get help online: "how to ask a question online so that you'll get the answer you need.".
- Point people to hackerspaces: many professional software developers, people are motivated to share and learn, and love scientists.
- Online office hours.
We've also thought about creating an online community using Facebook, Piazza, Stack Exchange, or a combination of mailing lists and Google groups. However:
- We tried this with a self-hosted forum in the fall of 2010 and the winter of 2011, with very little uptake (despite active instructors).
- Does keeping the community small (just SWCers) encourage the timid folks to participate more than they would on something like StackExchange?
- We need a large population to generate enough conversation to make it worth coming back to.
- All the answers are out there (e.g., on StackExchange), people just need to know how to find them.
- Will scientists actually use any of this? The whole mailing list model is foreign to many.

| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| IContainerScope |
Methods
| Improve this Doc View SourceChildScopeDisposed(IContainerScope)
Called by child scopes when they are disposed to notify the parent that they will no longer need to be disposed of when the parent is disposed.
Declaration
void ChildScopeDisposed(IContainerScope child)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IContainerScope | child |
Remarks
This is an infrastructure method and not something you would usually need to call. It's exposed for developers who are extending the container scoping functionality only.
Resolve(ResolveContext, Func<ResolveContext, Object>, ScopeBehaviour)
Not intended for direct use. Use the Resolve extension methods on this interface to perform 'normal' resolve operations.
Execute the given object factory within this scope. Depending on the scoping behaviour passed, the object will either be resolved directly from the scope (i.e. existing objects contained within it) or obtained by executing the factory and optionally tracking the object if it's IDisposable.
Declaration
object Resolve(ResolveContext context, Func<ResolveContext, object> factory, ScopeBehaviour behaviour)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ResolveContext | context | The resolve context - please note that the container that's present on this is the actual container that should be used to resolve objects. |
| Func<ResolveContext, Object> | factory | The factory to be executed |
| ScopeBehaviour | behaviour | The scope behaviour that the factory should be executed with. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Object |
Remarks
This function is the primary workhorse of all scopes. Most importantly, the object produced from the factory DOES NOT have to come from this scope's
Container - the implementing type simply has to ensure that it tracks whatever object is ultimately returned; potentially returning a previously tracked object if behaviour is Explicit


A friend of mine told me about Salvia Divinorum, a legal substance he had purchased at a local 'head shop.' I was curious, so he gave me a small plastic bag of it to try. Now, let me first explain my position. I am a relatively responsible person. I don't get high very often, and when I do, it is usually in search of a spiritual experience. I have tried marijuana, ecstasy, nitrous oxide and acid. I don't consider myself an inexperienced person in the realm of drug experiences, but I certainly wouldn't classify myself as a 'regular' user or someone who indulges in excesses of this sort.
That being said, I would like to share my experience with you. One sunny Sunday morning I was sitting in my bedroom in my pajamas, lounging and just talking with my boyfriend. We had not yet had breakfast, so my stomach was empty. The setting was very comfortable, calm and happy. I was not stressed out or angry or fearful going into it. I had a good mind set and was in a comfy setting. We decided to try smoking Salvia Divinorum.
I put medium-sized pinchful into a pipe and took one hit. (My friend had given me the 10x concentration, although I didn't know how significant that was until afterward.) I only had time to put the pipe down before I started to feel the effects.
I knew I was in 'my room' and was with this person whom I called 'my boyfriend' but these comforting facts did not help me. I was suddenly able to see and feel the dichotomy of what we know as 'real life' and that of the other place. My physical world, my home, my body, my possessions, my job, my relationships, everything I knew to be 'real' suddenly became a fragile, fleeting illusion. I saw this black, vacuumous abyss surrounding me. The physical bonds of reality, every molecule in the physical world including the wall behind me, the bed I was sitting on and my body, were being sucked into this abyss of the unknown. I literally felt I was being sucked into another dimension. (My boyfriend later told me I was shaking, sweating and clinging onto him.)
Because salvia produces hallucinogenic effects, I could literally see the 'real' world disintegrating into nothingness. I saw the paint peel from the walls and fly away. I saw my boyfriend's face sort of melt like plastic and being sucked upwards. I saw on a molecular level, bonds breaking and atoms flying away into nothingness. I remember hearing voices telling me just to let go. They told me to surrender to this feeling and just let go of 'reality' and everything I knew to be true. I remember fighting the feeling, and literally holding onto the bed and my boyfriend so as not to get sucked away. The voices of the ones who had already let go, who had already left this place, told me that if I didn't go with them now, I would eventually go anyway. If I chose to fight the vacuum and stay here, it would only be temporary, because everyone eventually goes where they went anyway.
I was absolutely terrified. I am grateful that the effects of salvia are so short-lived. Had that 'bad trip' lasted any longer, I don't know that I would have come out of it and been OK. I now understand what the term “psychoactive” really means.
In previous drug-induced experiences, I remember feeling that my 'real' life, my physical life was revealed to be an illusion. I had seen the unknown blackness beyond this plane and I remember having the choice to stay here or to go there. This time, I did not have a choice. The unknown blackness (heaven? enlightenment? death?) was literally taking me away from this Earthly time/space dimension. I felt that I was only able to stay here because I fought that unknown force.
I hope to eventually attain enlightenment. I would just much rather have it be my choice and have it be a sought-after goal. I hope I can get there through meditation, yoga, or another gentle, gradual method. What I experienced that Sunday was frightful and violent. It shook me down to my very core and turned my paradigm of 'reality' upside down. I don’t like the feeling of not having control over my own life and my own reality.
Interestingly, when my boyfriend tried it after I did, he had a very nice, dreamy, pleasant experience. He described seeing a beautiful European streetscape with cafes and beautiful foreign architecture. His experience was quite the opposite of mine.
Personally, I will never try salvia again. It is a very, very, very powerful psychoactive drug. Smoking marijuana has never felt anything even remotely like this. I am not submitting this story to deter anyone from trying salvia; I am merely sharing my own personal experience with those who are interested in reading about it. I hope my story doesn’t scare anyone away from experimenting with Salvia Divinorum. I think it affects people differently, and I hope people DO try it and have amazing experiences while it is still legal.

| def | calcLogLikelihood (modelLambda, modelOmega) |
| def | calcLTest (modelLambda, modelOmega) |
| def | simulatedPerBin (modelLambda) |
| def | calcNTest (modelLambda, modelOmega) |
Module loglikelihood performs calculations of Log likelihood of models, following the definition by Schorlemmer et al. 2007 It also performs the calculations of the LTest and Ntest. Not sure how they work
| def code.csep.loglikelihood.calcLogLikelihood | ( | modelLambda, | |
| modelOmega | |||
| ) |
Calculates the log likelihood between two RELM models. Lambda is usually the forecast model, and Omega is usually the real data model. Both models are defined as lists of integers representing earthquake amounts. Lambda and Omega must be of the same size. If there is a pair of bins lambda/omega, where the lambda bin is 0, and the omega bin is not zero, this function will return None
Definition at line 23 of file loglikelihood.py.
| def code.csep.loglikelihood.calcLTest | ( | modelLambda, | |
| modelOmega | |||
| ) |
Calculates the LTest between the model generated and the model to be compared to. The bins of Lambda and Omega must be integer values It returns the LTest score between the models Lambda and Omega Pros: widely applicable, tests entire forecast Cons: blends effects of spatial forecast, rate forecast, magnitude forecast
Definition at line 56 of file loglikelihood.py.
| def code.csep.loglikelihood.calcNTest | ( | modelLambda, | |
| modelOmega | |||
| ) |
Calculates the NTest between the model generated and the model to be compared to. The bins of Lambda and Omega must be integer values It returns the NTest score between the models Lambda and Omega Pros: isolates rate forecast, widely applicable Cons: ignores spatial component, ignores magnitude component
Definition at line 99 of file loglikelihood.py.
| def code.csep.loglikelihood.simulatedPerBin | ( | modelLambda | ) |
Generates integer numbers of earthquake from the model Lambda. It uses one random value to be used with the probability found at an especific bin of Lambda. It should be used to create the simulations need for the loglikelihood based tests.
Definition at line 85 of file loglikelihood.py.


about me
hello
I’m a 25 year-old interactive and print designer based in Blacksburg, Virginia. I am fluent in the Adobe Creative Suite, HTML, CSS and the Wordpress development platform.
I’ve designed for magazines, newspapers, non profits, universities and small businesses. If you’re looking for someone who can design anything from a brochure to a fully-loaded web site with a content management system, you’re in the right place. I like working with small businesses and start ups, especially local ones, so contact me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>if you have a project that you'd like to collaborate on.
When I’m not working, I'm usually hanging out with my bagle hound, hunting for - and usually failing to find - decent east coast Mexican food, or reading just about anything.
