From Jenkins apprenticeto AWS master
Running automation at scale
— Mihai Balan, Adobe Identity/IMS
Hi, I'm Mihai Balan, I'm a software engineer with the Adobe Identity group, working on IMS – the Identity Management System.
I've been with this team, this product, for 5+ years now, and I've seen in grow and expand in many ways.
So this talk will be about what this growth meant for testing IMS, and how we approached running automation at scale, inside IMS.
Key takeaways
Since what follows is essentially a tale and it might end up rather long-winded, I thought about doing things a little backwards and start with (some) takeaways.
I'll have some more at the end, but in case I cause you to doze off, here's the 3 most important things. Admittedly, thiey might be highly personal, but I think the tale is interesting nonetheless.
🙀🔫
Use forced change as an opportunity to do things right
Even if this means sneaking work in
Try to take in and reassess the big picture
Unexpected things might end up requiring change
Sometimes the proverbial poop hits the proverbial fan and you have to put everything on hold to fix whatever caused the breakage.
Usually, these moments are caused by compounded poor decisions along the way and highlight architectural or system weaknesses.
Use this opportunity to try to do things better – architecturally, process-wise, organization-wise.
Sometimes it might even mean sneaking in work that won't be directly related to the root-cause at hand, but that will improve life for everybody nonetheless.
Cherish this _carte blanche_ and use the opportunity to figure out and reassess the big picture: maybe a multitude of minute changes resulted in a massive shift; maybe some strongly-held assumptions no longer hold; maybe the process is ripe for disruption.
If you manage to put things in perspective and see exactly what in the big picture needs to change, you might end up changing things you didn't expect to.
The prime example here is adopting Continuous Delivery: it's not only about the tools, it's also about the mindset, the culture and about a lot of supporting systems.
☁🏆
If you go cloud, make the best of it
Don’t roll your own
Don’t worry about vendor lock-in (just yet)
Another thing that we learned the hard way is that, if you decide to move to the cloud, it's best to spend as little time as possible redoing things that the provider already has on offer.
There's still plenty of interesting and pressing issues to figure out even without reinventing the wheel.
👷🏻💩
Orchestrating on-prem *and* cloud-based Jenkins is crappy
… but it can be done
We did it with a mix of shared storage (AWS S3), polling (HTTP) and a lot of brittle conventions
The final, most pragmatic and probably most personal takeaway is that orchestrating Jenkins instances across network boundaries sucks.
You can do it, it will work, but it won't get better with age. The only way to make things bearable? Treat infrastructure as code as soon as possible.
IMS at a glance
Sign-in and sign-up
But so much more…
Federation
Account recovery
Security
APIs
With pretty much most of the wisdom of this talk behind us, let me give you some more context about what IMS _actually_ is, and how we are testing it now.
In a nutshell, the most important and visible things IMS is in charge of is sign in and sign up for all Adobe products.
And while this might sound like not that much, in fact there's a lot more things happening under the hood.
As far as direct user interaction is concerned we're dealing with federation, account recovery and security, but there's also a plethora of APIs that different Adobe services rely on in order to provide their own features.
🍌 for scale
Serving +1M RPM
99.99% availability
52 minutes of downtime per year
60+ people working on it
In terms of scale, IMS is currently serving 1+M RPM, sporting an SLA with 4 nines of availability. To put things in perspective, it means that on the whole, we can only have 52 minutes of downtime per year, including maintenance, incidents, attacks.
On the human scale, this means about 60 people working on this system, directly or indirectly.
And if you think that's a lot, the Identity group at Google has close 1000 people 😎
📈 The growth
Operational complexity and feature footprint
from custom UIs for each supported platform to one UI to rule them all (now at v3)
multiple federation and authorization models
from 4 components to 40+ components
from own datacenter to multi-cloud, multi-region
All the stats that I just gave describe the IMS of today. In the last 5-6 years it has grown however quite a lot to reach these numbers.
It was not only a growth in number of features, but also in the number of clients, customers and, accordingly, operational complexity.
We went from having multiple UIs for each supported platform: iPhones got an UI, desktop apps got an UI, different web apps got different UIs;
we went to have this single, unified UI that had to work the same on all these surfaces, and still had to have a lot of flexibility in terms ofbig and small configuration tweaks.
We went from only supporting username & password logins to allowing people to log in with their facebook, or Google, or Office365 LDAP account. We also added support for recovering your account via SMS, and 2FA.
In terms of the sheer number of deployed components, we went from having 4 components to building now more than 40 components, some shared between products and services.
And we moved from Adobe's US datacenter to AWS and Azure and IMS now has 4 regions in 2 different clouds.
Testing IMS
Validations
Mostly end-to-end integration tests, with (too few) unit & functional tests
Feature-branch validation
Post-merge & nightly validation
Staging environment validation
To make sure we don't deploy broken code to our clients and users we have a tiered validation approach.
There's a lot of end-to-end (we call them integration) tests and, alas, too little unit & functional tests.
These tests run at different points in the lifecycle of a feature.
After writing the code but before merging you can validate your branch of the code.
Once the code is merged, a new test run is triggered; and then every night some extra validations are run.
Finally, before pushing to code the staging environment everybody else in Adobe uses we run another battery of tests.
Environments
We don’t test in Prod (much)
Multiple levels of pre-Prod environments
Staging
Dev experimental
Continuous Integration (CI) validation
As you might already guess, we don't rely on just our Production environment for these validations.
In fact, we hardly even test in Production (whether this is a good or bad idea sounds like a nice topic for another presentation).
We instead rely on multiple levels of pre-Production environments, with more or less official SLAs.
We have staging environments that other teams in Adobe integrate against, both for development and testing.
We have a number of experimental dev environments that are used by sub-teams in IMS for developing more complex features.
And finally we have a number of Continuous Integration (CI) environments that are routinely used by pretty much everyone in the IMS team.
📈 The growth
from 1500 tests to 9000+ tests
from tests and code running on the same machine to cloud-based Jenkins slaves
from a lone mock mail server to multiple mocked & real external services
from jMeter to Soasta and Gatling
As I said about IMS, these stats reflect the current state of our testing infrastructure.
It too, had come a long way.
It started from scratch with no tests (a couple of years before I joined the team) and a fondness for TestNG. Back when I joined, it already had around 1500 tests. Now, we're nearing 10k
We went from having the product and the tests running on the same, manually configured machine, to having multiple CI environments deployed in the cloud, with the test runners automatically provisioned in AWS.
For some of the flows, like reading the emails the system was sending out, we had to build some support systems. We moved from having this very simple mock server email to also mocking Google and an exteral SMS provider (I've also given [a talk](https://michou.github.io/self/presentations/www/mocking-in-the-real-world.html?showNotes=true) about this last year).
Finally, we graduated from doing load testing using jMeter on one tester's Mac to using Akamai's SOASTA Cloud Test to using Gatlin and finally having performance testing as code.
🦕 In the beginning…
These being said, let's take the time machine and see how exactly these changes came to be
Life was rather simple
Java 1.4, 1400 tests in 150 test classes
Everything run on a manually configured, local machine
Some nifty tricks in place to exercise the same flows on different UIs
One test suite, run post-commit
Back when dinosaurs and Java 1.4 still roamed the Earth, ~6 years ago, life was rather simple.
The tests were written using Java 1.4, we had about 1400 tests in some 150 classes, and all our test plans were comments in those test classes.
Both the tests and the test environment run on the same machine – a workstation tucked under one of the developer's desk. So basically if something hung, or the power went out, you could at best SSH to that machine and at worst crawl under said desk to plug in a keyboard and monitor and fix everything yourself.
At that time, the system had custom UIs for the different platforms, each with it's own slightly different look and feel, but all enabling pretty much the same user flows.
And some very smart people did some very smart things with TestNG that allowed us to write the test once and run it on all the UIs.
And all was good in the world, and we only had a single test suite, that run **after** the code was merged.
💀 And then that machine died
This was rather unpleasant since all the setup for the CI environment was long and manual and tedious.
This was caused by the fact that you had the setup both the environment for the actual product and for the test run.
How do you avoid this?
Migrate to VMs for test environments
Opportunity to upgrade to more powerful hardware
More slaves!
Code coverage
Feature-branch validation
So after we realized that one way or another we'll have to do it all over again, we asked ourselves, what can we do to make this the _last_ time we have to do it?
The obvious answer was to use Virtual Machines.
Where we previously had a "server" we managed ourselves (actually a workstation under one of the developer's desks), we moved to a dedicated VM server that was managed by the local IT support team.
This being a real server (run VMWare ESXi), we had better hardware so we decided to put said hardware to work:
we added separate slaves for building the code and running the tests, started doing code coverage and implemented feature-branch validation (essentially, validating your code before merging it)
🧹 And then the VM infrastructure got consolidated
It wasn't perfect, it wasn't all magic and fairy dust, but at least you didn't have to crawl under a desk anymore.
But one fateful day, it was decided (very _high up_) the VM infrastructure will be consolidated and offered as a service (think Adobe building it's own toy AWS inside the intranet)
The tests we getting slower *anyway*
Bugs were slipping in, too
Move everything to the cloud
Cloud-based CI environments
Cloud-based Jenkins slaves
But…
Source code is not allowed to leave the premises
Build Jenkins is invisible to the test Jenkins
Given the hard deadline and a mandate to move out of the soon-to-be-decommissioned local lab, we also confronted the harsh truth:
not only were the tests getting slower (by sheer virtue of number), but they were also on the critical path.
And to top it off, because of the rather big configuration mismatch between real and CI environments some bugs were only found in the "real" environments.
By that time, the "real" environment had already moved to AWS, so using the same stack to deploy the CI environments was an obvious choice.
Using AWS to run the tests as well also meant access to better hardware, which could help us reach the under-30-minutes-per-test-run sweet spot.
There were some problems however: the code wasn't allowed to leave the Intranet, so we had to build it inside the intranet. We then had to start the test on the Jenkins master that was in the cloud, but getting a secure tunnel from our intranet to AWS never happened so we had to make do with one-way communication between the Jenkins master.
🐢 With big products come big test suites
The solution we ended up with for the test runners, involved an intranet Jenkins that build the code and an AWS-based Jenkins master, with a manually configured set of slaves on which docker was used to actually run the tests.
The intranet Jenkins would build the artifacts, upload them to S3 and then hit the AWS Jenkins' endpoint to start a job. It would then keep polling the AWS Jenkins for results until the tests were finished.
It was still clunky at times, and changing software dependencies was tedious, but using docker to configure the environment and run the tests sure beat SSH-ing and apt-get-ing on actual machines (virtual or otherwise).
It was time to scale horizontally *anyway*
Running all the tests on single machine took too long
Split tests in suites that can be run in parallel
Optimize build and deployment process
However, the AWS high didn't last long; we were reaching a point where the initial 8-cores, 32GB RAM machines weren't enough and even moving to 16-cores, 64GB RAM machines didn't improve things enough to justify the price difference.
This was caused by the fact that the tests themselves, were split in 2 test suites (rather arbitrarily) and test suite parallelization on a single machine just didn't scale well.
To put things in perspective, we were already using 3 CI environments: 2 for feature-branch validation and one for mainline validation and still the test suites were using more computing power than the CI environments they were hitting.
The easy way out was to throw even more machines at the problem, by splitting the tests into more test suites (again, manually) so we can run more tests in parallel.
Again, some rather smart people also managed to squeeze some precious minutes out of the build and deployment process and one sunny day in 2016 we were down to 12 minutes from code to test results
💸 But then cost started to become an issue
One of the shortcomings of this solution was that the Jenkins slaves were up and incurring costs 24/7, even when no tests were running.
Initially, for all things cloud, cost was not an issue, but as everything got migrated, management started to clamp down on costs.
Upgrading the slaves was hard *anyway*
Moved from docker-based, statically configured slaves to on-demand, ASG-based slaves
Time to start mocking some external services, too
But the test suites are still rather beefy
At the same time, we had some gripes of our own, namely the tediousness of changing the software configuration of the slaves, which involved changing a dockerfile in the code repo, committing the change and then making sure the change got propagated.
And this was the happy case where you knew exactly what needed changing, and how. In addition, since the Jenkins slaves were statically configured, adding a new slave was a matter of hours, as it had to be manually configured, at least up to a point.
In keeping with the configuration-as-code mantra, we decided to migrate to a on-demand system, where slaves would be spun up and down for each test run.
Technically, we ended up using AWS AutoScaling Groups that were using our custom, preconfigured image to boot.
The main benefit here was that changing the software configuration of all slaves was just a matter of creating a new image (usually based on the existing one) and then changing the ASG setting to use the new image.
Also around this time, the number of external dependencies of the actual system increased quite a bit.
Which also meant that the tests were hitting even more interconnected systems causing flakiness to increase considerably and performance to drop. Some systems were plain slow (facebook), while others would just not work (Twilio).
And while we mitigated some of these problems by mocking a number of external services (some of you might remember my talk on the subject from last year), we still have
massive test suites that take a non-negligible amount of time to run.
🚀 To boldy go where no one has gone before
The good thing is, after a rather radical reorganization (more on which maybe some other time), we did start working on things I wouldn't have hoped to see done before 2020 😅.
The future is now
Improved architecture for more efficient testing
from 85:15 to 5:95 ratio of integration to non-integration tests
Performance tests as code
On-demand CI environments
In-house test runner
As I mentioned at the beginning of the talk, we're in the process of rolling out a new and improved UI. This new system had the benefit of starting from scratch, which enabled us to reconsider and improve our building and testing in many ways:
- we have a radically more testable architecture. To give you a sense of scale, where in the "old" system about 15% of the tests were unit and functional and 85% were end-to-end integration test, for the new UI we have only about 100 end-to-end tests, and about 95% of all tests are unit and functional (component) tests
- we have more granular pipelines and we're one-step away from real CD – right now we're only delivering up to stage
- we took our testing tooklit up a notch with Kotlin
Independent of the new UI rollout, we now handle performance testing as code, by moving from SOASTA to Gatling (we're also saving 💰)
And we're also doing some really exciting work, enabling the old testing framework to run with on-demand CI environments and creating our own test runner to better scale horizontally.
📖 What came out of this?
I know this was a long story, and I also divulged the key takeaways before hand, but let's dive a little deeper in what did we learn – and might be useful for you as well.
Lessons learned
🙄 The bad
Deleting code is harder than writing code
Scaling out only exposes the critical path
Tests performance profiling matters
Mind your pre/post-test code
Know thy framework
Some of these lessons, we learned them the hard way – whether that meant long hours spent on trivial issues, handling deal-breaker performance bottlenecks or just diving deep into the guts of TestNG or Spring.
First and foremost, it turns out that oftentimes removing code is a lot harder than putting it in, and even moreso when it comes to test code and test infrastructure code.
We recently spent the better part of 2 months to remove from the testing framework the code that tested – and relied on – code that was deprecated in production more than a year ago.
As we came up with more and more tricks to reduce the time it took to run the tests, we found out that, at cases, the long run time was caused by just a handful of tests that took waay too long to complete – think one test running for 10min.
This came with the realization that while people usually do care about the performance of the product they're building they're considerably less involved, and held accountable, for the performance of the tests they're writing.
Unfortunately, it's not always a matter of writing a better test and paying more attention to the performance implications.
We had our fair share of situations where the performance bottleneck required serious profiling and investigation.
In these cases the culprits were outside of the `@Test` code body, _per-se_, but were rather code that was executing before or after the test, either serially or with a lower degree of parallelization.
The key takeaway here is that, as you stretch the limits of the framework and infrastructure, a deep understanding of your toolchain becomes mandatory in order to keep things running smoothly.
As an example, just recently I spent the better part of a month hunting down a a problem that was ultimately caused by an initialization that was happening too late in the Spring lifecycle of the tests (the tests are using Spring tests support for TestNG).
😎 The good
Shared pain is easier acted on
Also, the testing pyramid is real
Don’t be afraid to dream, but advocate for extra testability while you’re at it
Don’t be afraid to roll your own
But there were also some things that really made me happy and gave me hope.
In the early configurations of the teams, writing tests and making sure they were running properly, and fast, and passing was the sole responsibility of the testers.
But as more people started contributing and as developers started writing tests, people (developers, that is), started complaining about usability and performance issues with the testing framework.
Many of these problems were raised by testers along the way, but now they were blocking developers and this is what led to managers actually giving people the time to improve things at the testing level as well.
On the new version of the UI that we're working on now we were able to build-in more testability from the get go, and now we have a lot more tests at lower levels (unit & functional) and this proved really beneficial.
So even though it might seem obvious, or purely academic, the testing pyramid is real, and trying to have it in your testing is really helpful.
One of the really cool things that happened in just the last couple of months was that people started working on, and shipping, framework and infrastructure improvements that really help a lot.
And these are things 6-9 months ago I wouldn't even have dreamt would happen before 2020.
So don't be afraid to dream, but while you're dreaming up that perfect solution, do advocate for improved testability of the systems, starting from the very basic, with architecture.
Also, if you're really into building stuff, don't be afraid to roll your own version of off-the-shelf solutions you were already using.
The thing to take care though, is to first understand the issue you're solving thoroughly and to make sure that you really squeezed the last drop of functionality and performance out of what you were using before rolling out your own.
A couple of years ago, I thought it was cool to roll my own version of Selenium page objects without having even read about Selenium page objects. Needless to say, the end-result was a mess that is still haunting the code base 🙄
Thank you!
That was my story, hope you find useful.
Thank you!

This project helps the users in curing its disease by giving the list of fruits and herbs that the user should consume in order to get rid of its disease. The main purpose of this project is to help the user to easily search for herbs and fruits that will be good for the health of the user depending on any health issue or disease that he/she is suffering from. This system helps the user to reduce its searching time to a great extent by allowing the user to enter its health problem and search accordingly. The admin can add fruits and herbs to the system and its information. This system also allows the user to view the selected fruit or the herb’s description which describes how the fruit or the herb will help to improve the user’s health. This system also allows the user to place order which will add the items to the user’s cart and make payment for the same. The system also includes a module in which the user can search for the hospitals depending on the name of the disease that user enters. Thus, this system helps to to get food products best suited for user health to a great extent. System can recommended some product to the user.


It's all about changing the way we learn and cooperate with others. What kind of mindset we bring to the table and how to get the best out of ourselves and others
What are your impressions?That everyone from teachers to students are here for the same thing, that they want to learn and contribute to/from each other.
How do you see yourself engaging with this type of culture?The more I learn of the culture the more I am interested in being a part of it. Though I am generally a bit of a lone wolf I am seeing the benefits of working with a pack.
Have your expectations of EDA changed? If so, how?No not really. Having talked to a number of people from EDA and actually going in for a visit I got a good idea before hand of the culture and it is much the same.
Are you excited to participate in this kind of learning environment? Does it make you nervous?Anything new and different will always make someone a little nervous. But the more I read and learn about it the more logical and practical it sounds.

The professional services of M.S.M. Group provided great support during my journey towards a long-term career in welding. After matching me with a suitable employer, I was able to improve my skills and gain the experience necessary to excel in the welding field. A few months later, the employer hired me independently as a long-term, full time employee!
--Viacheslav
My experience with M.S.M. Group was unlike my previous experiences with employment agencies. With their focus on finding careers, rather than short-term jobs, I was able to find a long-lasting Millwright position in a learning-conducive environment. After the probation period, I was directly hired on to work permanently with a larger company which meant benefits, increased wages and employment stability.
--Sergey
M.S.M. Group placed me with a prestigious corporation, and a great team of employees. After nine months of working with the company, I was directly hired! The help of their professional, efficient, and supportive staff guided me towards a long-term career with the company.
--Matthew
What clients say about us:
M.S.M. Group has been my exclusive choice for assisting me with skilled and general labor needs. I have used their services to augment my staff numerous times. I have always had quality interviews with qualified personnel which enabled me to meet my deadlines for bringing on additional staff.
I have had a close working relationship with M.S.M. Group and would recommend other companies in need of skilled and general staffing seek out their services.
--Manufacturing Industry
I am very pleased to write a character reference for M.S.M. Group.
I have worked very closely with M.S.M. Group for two years. During that time I have always been amazed at the level of enthusiasm their workers bring to my work place. Two years ago, they came to our Company and, introduced themselves and, their staff. They have since maintained a high level of professionalism.
Heres an example. When a worker called in sick, they quickly sent in a replacement that was able to complete the tasks given without interruption to our schedule.
This is a company that is committed to your needs and will ensure that you are satisfied. They are very delightful to work with and we will continue to work with them in the years to come.
I would certainly recommend M.S.M. Group where enthusiasm, hard work and trustworthiness are valued.
--Manufacturing Industry
Recently I had the opportunity to use the services of M.S.M. Group for our recruitment needs.
When several positions became available, we contacted M.S.M. Group and immediately set up an appointment to meet personally to collect the information required for these positions.
The next day we received several C.V.'s of qualified candidates.
In a short period of time we were able to successfully hire skilled trades personnel.
I was very impressed with the professionalism and sense of urgency M.S.M. Group gave to our requirements, was very capable, knowledgeable and understanding of the automotive industry.
I would not hesitate to recommend M.S.M. Group to any company that has recruitment needs.
--Automotive Industry
I continue to appreciate the great service and staff of M.S.M. Group, they have been consistent in providing competent, reliable staff.
I recommend this agency to any business in need of temporary to full-time/permanent staff .

Proterozoic Eon
15 Interestings facts
1_The period of Earth's history that began 2.5 billion years ago and ended 542.0 million years ago is known as the Proterozoic.
2_which is subdivided into three eras: the Paleoproterozoic (2.5 to 1.6 billion years ago), Mesoproterozoic (1.6 to 1 billion years ago), and Neoproterozoic (1 billion to 542.0 million years ago)
3_Stable continents first appeared and began to accrete, a long process taking about a billion years.
4_ Also coming from this time are the first abundant fossils of living organisms, mostly bacteria and archaeans
5_ With the beginning of the Mesoproterozoic comes the first evidence of oxygen build-up in the atmosphere.
6_ The first traces of life appear nearly 3.5 billion years ago, in the early Archean.
7_ Stromatolite diversity increased through most of the Proterozoic
8_ This span of time makes up roughly seven-eighths of the Earth's history.
9_ During the Precambrian, the most important events in biological history took place
10_ The first "pollution crisis" hit the Earth about 2.2 billion years ago. the presence of iron oxides in paleosols (fossil soils), the appearance of "red beds" containing metal oxides, and others
11_ Several pieces of evidence point to a fairly rapid increase in levels of oxygen in the atmosphere at about this time
12_ Early plate tectonics.
13_ Clean (unchanged by metamorphosis) sand and carbonate deposits occur for the first time.
14_ Several glaciations, including the Snowball Earth during the Cryogenian period in the late Neoproterozoic.
15_ First eukaryote fossil at 2.1 billion years.

3 Qualities of Self-Worth (人贵有三品)
A couple weeks ago, my dad sent me a link to an excellent blog entry written in Mandarin Chinese. I have always loved the Chinese language for its elegant brevity, and this entry was no exception. In just a few lines of characters, it succinctly summarized 3 qualities of self-worth. I wanted to share this with my friends in the United States, so I decided to translate the entry into English:
3 Qualities of Self-Worth: Perseverance, Humility, Confidence
Perseverance (Ability to ‘Hold your anger’) - We will travel near and far in this world; We will go through the highs and lows of life; Sometimes we win; Sometimes we lose. In this life full of unpredictability, we must learn to persevere and endure. If we cannot do that, we might lose our sense of logic and reasoning, and do things that we feel is right in the moment, but we may regret in the future. Examples of non-perseverance include: blaming the world or other people for our own actions that made us sad, constantly cursing, and blaming everything on “bad luck”. Perseverance is a true indicator of maturity, a paragon of the right moral reasoning, and a sign of open mindedness.
Humility (Ability to ‘Bow Down’) - To be a good person, it’s important to be humble; A famous Chinese general called Han Xin (韩信) bowed down to others constantly, despite his prolific accomplishments; he became one of the most celebrated historical figures in China. A famous Chinese historian called Si Ma Qian (司马迁) had great humility; he produced the most important literature of his times, studied by students, historians, and philosophers even today. As we can see, bowing down is not just an action, but a psychological training of confidence. Only when we are humble can we establish respect in our surroundings.
Confidence (Ability to ‘Raise your Head’) - By raising your head, I mean to say that no matter what milestone, journey, or situation in life we are in, good or bad, we must constantly make an active effort to stay optimistic. When we achieve this as a young adult, it is a clear indication of maturity and confidence. However, raising your head does not mean displaying arrogance or treating others with disdain, but approaching problems with a clear moral code, and treating others with respect. It is not criticizing others if they are not as confident in comparison, but focusing on ourselves and quietly but diligently doing the work we set out to do.

Our school was lacking an inter school cultural festival. We took the initiative to organize and conduct the festival for the first time in 25 years. My role as head coordinator was to make sure every committee was working properly, all the arrangements for the festival were made in time and coordinate everything with the school authorities. 11 major schools in Trivandrum participated and the event had positive reviews and was a big success.
The prefectorial board of the school requires a student coordinator, to organize and ensure the smooth functioning of events and organize the students and assign responsibilities. I got the chance to interact with a lot of students, teachers, school authorities, other staff as well as the guests who came for the various events.

I have been winding my way through a few long outdated bricks of Kodak Portra 160 VC. Love that stuff. As luck would have it I blew through my last roll this week and was simultaneously elected the event photographer for my communities Fourth of July celebration. Hmmmm... I figured I would head down to the "local" "Pro" photography shop that is about an hour's drive from my house and grab some of the new Portra films for the event Monday. Guess what happened. They don't have it. They have a couple rolls of sorry looking outdated non-pro films but that's it. I call around and NOBODY stocks anything I am remotely interested in. Pretty much Fuji - ultra cheapo color neg film only. I ended up going to Walmart and picked up a 4-pack of el-cheapo buck-a-roll consumer Fuji. Yuk. I have never been enamored with Fuji's consumer films. They really haven't changed much. I could have lived with the NPS stuff or the 400H but not the crappy consumer stuff. The color is just not my cup of tea. I guess I will plan better. To make sure this doesn't happen again I, the moment I got home I ordered the following...


Rajnath Singh visits LAC forward post, says armies of India, China sensible enough to reduce tensions
During a visit to the forward post of Bum La on the India-China border, Singh congratulated the Indian Army for showing "great maturity" in all situations.
Despite differences in perception between India and China on the boundary issue, the armies of the two countries have been sensible enough to reduce tensions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said here on Friday.
He also said that there has been no tension at LAC near Bum La Pass.
During a visit to the forward post of Bum La on the India-China border, Singh congratulated the Indian Army for showing "great maturity" in all situations.
"I have got the opportunity to interact with jawans here. I am very happy to be informed by my jawans that at this India-China border, which is LAC, we are working very sensibly and Chinese PLA (People's Liberation Army) is also operating sensibly. There is no tension here at LAC that is near Bum La Pass," he told reporters.
"During my Bumla visit I have come to know that despite perceptional differences on the boundary issue both the Indian Army and the PLA have been sensible enough to reduce tensions on LAC," he further said in a tweet.
He also visited the memorial of Paramvir Chakra winner, Subedar Joginder Singh.
"At the time of the war of 1962, he sacrificed his life and showed indomitable courage and valor," he said in a tweet in Hindi.Get access to India's fastest growing financial subscriptions service Moneycontrol Pro for as little as Rs 599 for first year.

This record type is normally used to obtain an analog value from a hardware input and convert it to engineering units. The record supports linear and break-point conversion to engineering units, smoothing, alarm limits, alarm filtering, and graphics and control limits.
The record-specific fields are described below, grouped by functionality.
These fields control where the record will read data from when it is processed:
Field Summary Type DCT Default Read Write CA PP DTYP Device Type DEVICE Yes Yes Yes No INP Input Specification INLINK Yes Yes Yes No
The DTYP field selects which device support layer should be responsible for providing input data to the record. The ai device support layers provided by EPICS Base are documented in the Device Support section. External support modules may provide additional device support for this record type. If not set explicitly, the DTYP value defaults to the first device support that is loaded for the record type, which will usually be the Soft Channel
support that comes with Base.
The INP link field contains a database or channel access link or provides hardware address information that the device support uses to determine where the input data should come from. The format for the INP field value depends on the device support layer that is selected by the DTYP field. See Address Specification for a description of the various hardware address formats supported.
These fields control if and how the raw input value gets converted into engineering units:
Field Summary Type DCT Default Read Write CA PP RVAL Current Raw Value LONG No Yes Yes Yes ROFF Raw Offset ULONG No Yes Yes Yes ASLO Adjustment Slope DOUBLE Yes 1 Yes Yes Yes AOFF Adjustment Offset DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes Yes LINR Linearization MENU (menuConvert) Yes Yes Yes Yes ESLO Raw to EGU Slope DOUBLE Yes 1 Yes Yes Yes EOFF Raw to EGU Offset DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes Yes EGUL Engineer Units Low DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes Yes EGUF Engineer Units Full DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes Yes
These fields are not used if the device support layer reads its value in engineering units and puts it directly into the VAL field. This applies to Soft Channel and Async Soft Channel device support, and is also fairly common for GPIB and similar high-level device interfaces.
If the device support sets the RVAL field, the LINR field controls how this gets converted into engineering units and placed in the VAL field as follows:
NO CONVERSION
the units conversion is finished after the above steps.LINEAR
or SLOPE
, the value from step 3 above is multiplied by ESLO and EOFF is added to complete the units conversion process.The distinction between the LINEAR
and SLOPE
settings for the LINR field are in how the conversion parameters are calculated:
With LINEAR
conversion the user must set EGUL and EGUF to the lowest and highest possible engineering units values respectively that can be converted by the hardware. The device support knows the range of the raw data and calculates ESLO and EOFF from them.
SLOPE
conversion requires the user to calculate the appropriate scaling and offset factors and put them directly in ESLO and EOFF.
This filter is usually only used if the device support sets the RVAL field and the Units Conversion process is used. Device support that directly sets the VAL field may implement the filter if desired.
The filter is controlled with a single parameter field:
Field Summary Type DCT Default Read Write CA PP SMOO Smoothing DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes No
The SMOO field should be set to a number between 0 and 1. If set to zero the filter is not used (no smoothing), while if set to one the result is infinite smoothing (the VAL field will never change). The calculation performed is:
VAL = VAL * SMOO + (1 - SMOO) * New Data
where New Data
was the result from the Units Conversion above. This implements a first-order infinite impulse response (IIR) digital filter with z-plane pole at SMOO. The equivalent continuous-time filter time constant τ is given by
τ = −T / ln(SMOO)
where T is the time between record processing.
If after applying the smoothing filter the VAL field contains a NaN (Not-a-Number) value, the UDF field is set to a non-zero value, indicating that the record value is undefined, which will trigger a UDF_ALARM
with severity INVALID_ALARM
.
Field Summary Type DCT Default Read Write CA PP UDF Undefined UCHAR Yes 1 Yes Yes Yes
These parameters are used to present meaningful data to the operator. They do not affect the functioning of the record at all.
DESC is a string that is usually used to briefly describe the record.
EGU is a string of up to 16 characters naming the engineering units that the VAL field represents.
The HOPR and LOPR fields set the upper and lower display limits for the VAL, HIHI, HIGH, LOW, and LOLO fields.
The PREC field determines the floating point precision (i.e. the number of digits to show after the decimal point) with which to display VAL and the other DOUBLE fields.
Field Summary Type DCT Default Read Write CA PP DESC Descriptor STRING [41] Yes Yes Yes No EGU Engineering Units STRING [16] Yes Yes Yes No HOPR High Operating Range DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes No LOPR Low Operating Range DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes No PREC Display Precision SHORT Yes Yes Yes No
The user configures limit alarms by putting numerical values into the HIHI, HIGH, LOW and LOLO fields, and by setting the associated alarm severity in the corresponding HHSV, HSV, LSV and LLSV menu fields.
The HYST field controls hysteresis to prevent alarm chattering from an input signal that is close to one of the limits and suffers from significant readout noise.
The AFTC field sets the time constant on a low-pass filter that delays the reporting of limit alarms until the signal has been within the alarm range for that number of seconds (the default AFTC value of zero retains the previous behavior).
Field Summary Type DCT Default Read Write CA PP HIHI Hihi Alarm Limit DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes Yes HIGH High Alarm Limit DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes Yes LOW Low Alarm Limit DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes Yes LOLO Lolo Alarm Limit DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes Yes HHSV Hihi Severity MENU (menuAlarmSevr) Yes Yes Yes Yes HSV High Severity MENU (menuAlarmSevr) Yes Yes Yes Yes LSV Low Severity MENU (menuAlarmSevr) Yes Yes Yes Yes LLSV Lolo Severity MENU (menuAlarmSevr) Yes Yes Yes Yes HYST Alarm Deadband DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes No AFTC Alarm Filter Time Constant DOUBLE Yes Yes Yes No LALM Last Value Alarmed DOUBLE No Yes No No
These parameters are used to determine when to send monitors placed on the VAL field. The monitors are sent when the current value exceeds the last transmitted value by the appropriate deadband. If these fields are set to zero, a monitor will be triggered every time the value changes; if set to -1, a monitor will be sent every time the record is processed.
The ADEL field sets the deadband for archive monitors (DBE_LOG
events), while the MDEL field controls value monitors (DBE_VALUE
events).
The remaining fields are used by the record at run-time to implement the record monitoring functionality.

The record provides several fields to support simulation of absent hardware. If the SIML field is set it is used to read a value into the SIMM field, which controls whether simulation is used or not:
SIMM must be zero (NO
) for the record to request a value from the device support.
If SIMM is YES
and the SIOL link field is set, a simlated value in engineering units is read using the link into the SVAL field, from where it will subsequently be copied into the VAL field.
If SIMM is RAW
the SIOL link is still read into SVAL, but is then truncated and copied into the RVAL field. The "Units Conversion" process described above is then followed to transform the simulated raw value into engineering units.
The SIMS field can be set to give the record an alarm severity while it is in simulation mode.

The record requires device support to provide an entry table (dset) which defines the following members:
typedef struct {
long number;
long (*report)(int level);
long (*init)(int after);
long (*init_record)(aiRecord *prec);
long (*get_ioint_info)(int cmd, aiRecord *prec, IOSCANPVT *piosl);
long (*read_ai)(aiRecord *prec);
long (*special_linconv)(aiRecord *prec, int after);
} aidset;
The module must set number
to at least 6, and provide a pointer to its read_ai()
routine; the other function pointers may be NULL
if their associated functionality is not required for this support layer. Most device supports also provide an init_record()
routine to configure the record instance and connect it to the hardware or driver support layer, and if using the record's "Units Conversion" features they set special_linconv()
as well.
The individual routines are described below.
This optional routine is called by the IOC command dbior
and is passed the report level that was requested by the user. It should print a report on the state of the device support to stdout. The level
parameter may be used to output increasingly more detailed information at higher levels, or to select different types of information with different levels. Level zero should print no more than a small summary.
This optional routine is called twice at IOC initialization time. The first call happens before any of the init_record()
calls are made, with the integer parameter after
set to 0. The second call happens after all of the init_record()
calls have been made, with after
set to 1.
This optional routine is called by the record initialization code for each ai record instance that has its DTYP field set to use this device support. It is normally used to check that the INP address is the expected type and that it points to a valid device; to allocate any record-specific buffer space and other memory; and to connect any communication channels needed for the read_ai()
routine to work properly.
If the record type's unit conversion features are used, the init_record()
routine should calculate appropriate values for the ESLO and EOFF fields from the EGUL and EGUF field values. This calculation only has to be performed if the record's LINR field is set to LINEAR
, but it is not necessary to check that condition first. This same calculation takes place in the special_linconv()
routine, so the implementation can usually just call that routine to perform the task.
This optional routine is called whenever the record's SCAN field is being changed to or from the value I/O Intr
to find out which I/O Interrupt Scan list the record should be added to or deleted from. If this routine is not provided, it will not be possible to set the SCAN field to the value I/O Intr
at all.
The cmd
parameter is zero when the record is being added to the scan list, and one when it is being removed from the list. The routine must determine which interrupt source the record should be connected to, which it indicates by the scan list that it points the location at *piosl
to before returning. It can prevent the SCAN field from being changed at all by returning a non-zero value to its caller.
In most cases the device support will create the I/O Interrupt Scan lists that it returns for itself, by calling void scanIoInit(IOSCANPVT *piosl)
once for each separate interrupt source. That routine allocates memory and inializes the list, then passes back a pointer to the new list in the location at *piosl
.
When the device support receives notification that the interrupt has occurred, it announces that to the IOC by calling void scanIoRequest(IOSCANPVT iosl)
which will arrange for the appropriate records to be processed in a suitable thread. The scanIoRequest()
routine is safe to call from an interrupt service routine on embedded architectures (vxWorks and RTEMS).
This essential routine is called when the record wants a new value from the addressed device. It is responsible for performing (or at least initiating) a read operation, and (eventually) returning its value to the record.
... PACT and asynchronous processing ...
... return value ...
This optional routine should be provided if the record type's unit conversion features are used by the device support's read_ai()
routine returning a status value of zero. It is called by the record code whenever any of the the fields LINR, EGUL or EGUF are modified and LINR has the value LINEAR
. The routine must calculate and set the fields EOFF and ESLO appropriately based on the new values of EGUL and EGUF.
These calculations can be expressed in terms of the minimum and maximum raw values that the read_ai()
routine can put in the RVAL field. When RVAL is set to RVAL_max the VAL field will be set to EGUF, and when RVAL is set to RVAL_min the VAL field will become EGUL.
The formulae to use are:
EOFF = (RVAL_max * EGUL − RVAL_min * EGUF) / (RVAL_max − RVAL_min)
ESLO = (EGUF − EGUL) / (RVAL_max − RVAL_min)
Note that the record support sets EOFF to EGUL before calling this routine, which is a very common case (when RVAL_min is zero).

Accounting
Today we worked through a few real-world accounting problems (I know how exciting that sounds, but stay with me here). After listening to a song that strongly reinforced the idea that debit goes on the left and credit on the right (more on this during the tutorial), we moved on to some actual transactions. Having learned about the fundamental accounting equation, Assets = Liability + Owner's Equity, we used our knowledge to map out visual representations of transactions in T-accounts and journal entries and saw how the money balanced out. It reminded me of finding in a science class that during a chemical reaction atoms are rearranged but the amount remains the same or having to solve a mathematical equation by setting both sides equal to each other.

Today in graphic design, our team needed to redo our logo for our startup in Adobe Illustrator. We worked a little more on our flyer for our startup.

Well, the United States of America has survived another Presidential Election. This time just barely. I am now thrilled to go to my mailbox and find much less than the two pounds of political flyers I had grown accustomed to lately. Whether you were for or against the winner and president-elect, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate or commiserate than by enjoying all the fun that skiing and the apre ski scene offer. And just remember that someone very important once reminded us that “seldom are your greatest fears or your greatest expectations realized.” OK, that’s as much editorial political philosophizing you are going to get from me.
Be sure to read Bill Melton’s page 10 report on the November 10th showing of the new Warren Miller film—Here, There and Everywhere. With the amazing attendance and opportunities to win free stuff, it was a huge success. Bill is the local producer for Warren Miller films. I bet it won’t be long before we see Bill starring in Miller’s films sporting his secret Glen Plake hair style.
Even though most of our ski trips are sold out, if you are a new member you might want to look at our website to see the details on just how good a deal each of the trips offer. The summary is on page 20 of the this newsletter just for reference. The Beaver Creek and the Greek Isles trips are still open, so get on board!

For the fig-swirl: Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Add brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Halve all of the figs and toss in the saucepan with water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until you have a chunky-jammy texture. Add salt with one or two stirs, set aside and let cool completely.
Ice cream: In a small pot over medium heat, combine milk, and granulated sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and the milk is just barely lukewarm. Whisk in the egg yolks. Set mixture in the fridge and wait until the fig mixture is cooled.
Using an ice cream machine, pour liquids into the frozen basin and process according to manufacturer instructions, i.e. let spin and thicken for 20 minutes before adding mascarpone, fig jam mixture, and the nuts. Continue to process for +/- minutes. Pour semi-frozen mixture into a pyrex dish or glass tupperware. Freeze at least two hours before serving.
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup mascarpone
- 1/2 tsp pink salt
- 1 lb Black Mission Figs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2-4 tbsp water
- 1 1/2 heavy cream
- 1/3 granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup honey roasted pecans, roughly chopped

I've been growing slightly annoyed with the current state of image boards and community platforms recently. With allegations of censorship, unresponsive admins, and other draconian practices, I felt there needed to be a better way: And this is not it.
HIVEMIND is just the public site for a bigger project to create uncensored communities around the web. I'll try to fight censorship as long as I can, but legal requirements may rear their ugly head, rendering my better judgment irrelevant. This is where you come in. This platform is open source and licensed under a permissive license. If such a day comes to pass that you cannot rely on this hostname, these admins, or this place anymore to have an uncensored discussion, take the code and run.
I have a lot of ideas for what this project can become, but it'll take a great deal of work to get there. If you want to help out, join the discussion on GitHub, fork the project, mirror it, back it up. Whatever you want, just keep it going.

Watch Teller almost get SHOCKED by dangerous jugglers The Passing Zone, on 'Penn & Teller: Fool Us!'
by Xeni JardinThis is a great clip. If you're into jugglers doing funny things or 500-volt stun guns, you're in for a treat.
Jon and Owen of the wonderful performance group 'The Passing Zone' joined Penn & Teller on their TV show "Penn & Teller: Fool Us!" recently to perform a dangerous magic and juggling trick involving electricity.
Watch the magic, and check out Teller almost getting shocked!
Jon Wee and Owen Morse are friends of mine, and as crazy as they are in this video, they are in person. They're delightful humans with insanely curious intelligent minds and a wonderful knack for pulling off the impossible.
If you ever have a chance to see The Passing Zone perform live on stage in person (they also do trade shows and corporate events) go do it.
Their 'America's Got Talent' clip with Howie Mandel is also a thing of greatness, and legendary.

Processing Tab-Separated Values in jQuery
The jQuery.tsv plugin was inspired by Evan Plaice's jQuery.csv plugin. After adapting that in my project, I found I really needed a proper Tab Separated Values plugin.
Tab,Separated Values format is much simpler (and more limited) than Comma-Separated Values. In particular, there is no possibility of a tab being contained in a value, no quoting, etc.
It's not a very _good_ format, but it's a very _simple_ format and an extremely _common_ format.
The IANA description of the text/tab-separated-values media type appears here:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/tab-separated-values
This package comes with an extensive test suite, and the core TSV functionality is functionally complete.
Usage
Simply load jQuery-tsv after jQuery, and in your code, use it like this: {{{ var tsv = $.tsv.toArrays(data); var firstRow = tsv[0]; }}}
Headers
Unfortunately, while the standard description for the mime type says it should have a header row, in practice, often it will not. There's no way for the code to tell, so you will have to know or guess.If you supply the `{ stripHeader: true `} header option, the first line will be removed as a header line. It can be retrieved using an index of [-1].
Functions
For details, see the packgae API documentation.Static Functions:
- $.tsv.toArrays -- parse an entire TSV string as arrays of values
- $.tsv.toArray -- parse one line of TSV = as a single array of values
- $.tsv.toObjects -- parse an entire TSV string as objects
- $.tsv.toObject -- parse one line of TSV as one object

Details
The package provides the following features.
- Conversion from tsv text to Javascript arrays of array values
- An array of line arrays, `e.g. `[["header1","header2"], ["val11", "val12"], ["val21", "val22"]]
- Line-at-a-time, `["val1", "val2"]`
- Conversion from tsv text to Javascript arrays of objects
- e.g. `[ {header1: "val11", header2: "val12"}, {header1: "val21", header2: "val22"}]`
- Column/attribute names can be taken from the tsv header row (if present), or supplied
- An array of objects, or an object at a time.
- Conversion from either format above to tsv text.
- Parsers/formatters can be specified for the data values (so numbers and dates can be read/written as numbers and dates, for example).
Compatibility
Prior versions had alternate names for many of the functions. The older names are deprecated but still available. They will be removed in a future release, after 1.0.

Write a program that shows the minimum and maximum values that can be stored in an object of type _Longlong and the maximum value that can be stored in an object of type _ULonglong.
Exercise 2
Use function overloading to determine the type of each of the following typedefs on your system: int32_t, uint_least32_t, uint_fast8_t, intptr_t, uintptr_t, intmax_t, and uintmax_t.
Exercise 3
For each of the typedefs in the preceding exercise, create a constant of that type with the value 1 and show its value, using printf and a suitable format specifier. Verify that the constant's type is the same as the type named by the typedef.
Exercise 4
For each of the typedefs in the preceding exercise, show the minimum and maximum values that can be stored in an object of that type.
