Each Bike is equipped with Hall effect sensors for measuring flywheel rotational speed (to capture cadence) and resistance. The sensors reference the Output values on the sensor control board and communicate these values to the Peloton HD touchscreen multiple times per second during a ride.
The Peloton Bike does not take direct, instantaneous readings of Output. These readings are taken at the time of manufacture and due to manufacturing variability, we expect ~10% Bike-to-Bike variability in Output readings. The Peloton leaderboard and Output readings are intended to be fun and useful tools offering directional performance measurement that helps riders motivate and achieve their individual fitness goals.

Galois representations/motives. It has two steps: attaching Galois representations, or even motives, to (certain) automorphic forms, and, conversely, showing that all Galois representations of motives arise in this way. (This converse direction typically incorporates the Fontaine--Mazur conjecture as well, which posits a purely Galois-theoretic criterion for when a Galois representation should arise from a motive.)
If one is given the direction automorphic to Galois, then there are some techniques for deducing the converse direction, namely the Taylor--Wiles method. However this method is not a machine that automatically applies whenever one has the automorphic to Galois direction available; in particular, it doesn't seem to apply in any straightforward way to Galois representations/motives for which some $h^{p,q}$ is greater than 1 (in more Galois-theoretic terms, which have irregular Hodge--Tate weights). Thus in particular, even if one could attach Galois representations to (certain) Maass forms, one would still have the problem of proving that every even 2-dimensional Artin representation of $G_{\mathbb Q}$ arose in this way.
As to constructing Galois representations attached to automorphic forms, here the idea is to use Shimura varieties, and one can hope that, with the fundamental lemma now proved, one will be able to get a pretty comprehensive description of the Galois representations that appear in the cohomology of Shimura varieties. (Here one will also be able to take advantage of recent progress in the understanding of integral models of Shimura varieties, due to people like Harris and Taylor, Mantovan, Shin, Morel, and Kisin, in various different contexts.)
The overarching problem here is that, not only do not all automorphic forms contribute to cohomology (e.g. Maass forms, as discussed in Kevin's answer), but also, not all automorphic forms appear in any Shimura variety context at all. Since Shimura varieties are currently the only game in town for passing from automorphic forms to Galois representations, people are thinking a lot about how to move from any given context to a Shimura variety context, by applying functoriality (e.g. Taylor's construction of Galois reps. attached to certain cuspforms on $GL_2$ of a quadratic imaginary field), or trying to develop new ideas such as $p$-adic functoriality. While there are certainly ideas here, and one can hope for some progress, the questions seem to be hard, and there is no one black box that will solve everything.
In particular, one could imagine having functoriality as a black box, and asking if one can then derive reciprocity. (Think of the way that Langlands--Tunnell played a crucial role in the proof of modularity of elliptic curves.) Langlands has asked this on various occasions. The answer doesn't seem to be any kind of easy yes.

I don't know a whole lot about the Langlands program, but if there is one tool that seems to come up a lot in geometric Langlands, it's perverse sheaves. You see a lot of singular algebraic varieties in geometric Langlands, and perverse sheaves are meant as a singular generalization of a vector bundle with a flat connection. Ordinary sheaves are already a singular generalization of vector bundles, but not the relevant one. Perverse sheaves (which are made from sheaves but not sheaves themselves) are a more apropos generalization that incorporates and sort-of just is intersection (co)homology.
I can also say that I wasn't going to learn about perverse sheaves until I had to. However, I have now seen several important papers, in the related categorification program, that read this way: "Perverse sheaves + necessary restrictions = a good solution". So now I might be slowly getting used to them. I can also see that even the formalism perverse sheaves or intersection homology is sort-of inevitable. In some of the simpler constructions, the varieties (over $\mathbb{C}$, say) are non-singular and certain answers arise as ordinary cohomology products or intersection products. For instance, the Schubert calculus in a Grassmannian manifold. What choice do you have if the Grassmannian is replaced by a singular variety $X$? For some of these categorification/Langlands questions, you can either propose wrong answers, or ad hoc answers, or you can automatically get the right answer by using intersection homology on $X$. (With middle perversity, as they say.)

Intersection cohomology (either l-adic or Betti or Hodge) also plays a central role in the cohomological study of non-compact Shimura variety and the application of trace formula methods, see e.g Zucker's conjecture or Sophie Morel's PhD thesis. But I don't really see why this is a feature of the Langlands program, rather than a by-product of the fact that many interestingly singular varieties pop up in compactifications of moduli problems. – Simon Pepin Lehalleur Aug 8 '10 at 19:49

3:40pm – The National Weather Service in Portland has issued a Coastal Flood Advisory for minor tidal overflow, in effect from 9:00am to 3:00pm Sunday, for the South Washington Coast and North and Central Oregon Coast . A High Surf Advisory remains in effect until 7:00pm this evening for the South Washington Coast and North and Central Oregon Coast.
* Seas and Surf: seas will remain around 20 feet through this evening with periods around 16 seconds. Waves will slowly subside to around 17 feet late this evening. Swells of this magnitude will produce dangerous surf conditions.
* Tides: the observed high tide during the late morning on Sunday is expected to reach around 11 feet at Toke Point, Washington and between 10 feet and 11 feet for Astoria and South Beach (Newport), Oregon. With tidal anomalies of around 1.5 feet, this high tide will occur around 11:00am. These values are similar to the tides observed today.
* River Flows: coastal rivers flow are increasing due to abundant rainfall today. With expected additional rainfall tonight, the Willapa, Nehalem, Wilson, Siletz, Alsea and Siuslaw rivers are all expected to be at or near bankfull. Rivers may continue to run near flood flows during the midday Monday high tide. Current river levels and forecasts are available here.
* Impacts: affected locations will include low lying areas near bays and sloughs.. Highway 101, Highway 126 east of Florence and the lower reaches of coastal rivers. Historically, tides around 11 feet paired with near flood flows on local rivers have resulted in minor tidal overflow near Raymond, Tillamook, Nehalem, Waldport and Depoe Bay. The greatest impacts are likely between 9:00am and 2:00pm on Sunday.
Precautionary/Preparedness Actions: A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area producing rip currents and localized beach erosion. A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.


text: Nowadays, the absorbed dose to water for kilovoltage X-ray beams is determined from standards in terms of air-kerma by application of international dosimetry protocols. New standards in terms of absorbed dose to water have just been established for these beams at the LNELNHB. A specific calorimeter was developed to do measurements at low depth in water, in order to fulfill the reference conditions required by the international dosimetry protocols for medium-energy X-ray. This new calorimeter was used to measure the absorbed dose rate in water at a depth of 2 cm for six medium-energy X-ray reference beams with a tube potential from 80 kV to 300 kV. The relative standard uncertainty obtained on the absorbed dose rate by water calorimetry is lower than 0.8%, whereas the one given by application of protocols based on airkerma is around 2.5%.

This document describes principles and tools to control a manufacturing process in accordance with a GPS specification. For this purpose a set of one or more complementary, independent characteristics (size, form, orientation, and location characteristics independent to each other) that correlate to the manufacturing process parameters and to the manufacturing process coordinate system established from the manufacturing datum system are used.
This document describes the concept of decomposition of the macro-geometrical part of the GPS specification. It does not cover the micro-geometry, i.e. surface texture.
The objective of the decomposition presented in this document is to define correction values for manufacturing control or to perform a statistical analysis of the process.


}{1}, \ldots, \tilde{\omega}{d}$ estimate the square roots of the diagonal elements of $\Omega$, but off-diagonal elements require a separate estimation step. What is really required to estimate is the scale-free matrix $\bar{\Omega}$. This is the problem examined next.
If $\omega$ is the diagonal matrix formed by the squares roots of $\Omega_{11}, \ldots, \Omega_{\text {cld }}$, all variables $\omega^{-1}\left(Y_{i}-\xi_{i}\right)$ have distribution $\mathrm{ST}{d}(0, \bar{\Omega}, \alpha, v)$, for $i=1, \ldots, n$. Denote by $Z=\left(Z{1}, \ldots, Z_{d}\right)^{\top}$ the generic member of this set of variables. We are concerned with the distribution of the products $Z_{j} Z_{k}$, but for notational simplicity we focus on the specific product $W=Z_{1} Z_{2}$, since all other products are of similar nature.
We must then examine the distribution of $W=Z_{1} Z_{2}$ when $\left(Z_{1}, Z_{2}\right)$ is a bivariate ST variable. This looks at first to be a daunting task, but a major simplification is provided by consideration of the perturbation invariance property of symmetrymodulated distributions, of which the ST is an instance. For a precise exposition of this property, see for instance Proposition $1.4$ of Azzalini and Capitanio (2014), but in the present case it says that, since $W$ is an even function of $\left(Z_{1}, Z_{2}\right)$, its distribution does not depend on $\alpha$, and it coincides with the distribution of the case $\alpha=0$, that is, the case of a usual bivariate Student's $t$ distribution, with dependence parameter $\bar{\Omega}_{12}$.
统计代写|生物统计代写biostatistics代考|Simulation Work to Compare Initialization Procedures
Several simulations runs have been performed to examine the performance of the proposed methodology. The computing environment was $\mathrm{R}$ version 3.6.0. The reference point for these evaluations is the methodology currently in use, as provided by the publicly available version of $R$ package $s n$ at the time of writing, namely version 1.5-4; see Azzalini (2019). This will be denoted 'the current method' in the following. Since the role of the proposed method is to initialize the numerical MLE search, not the initialization procedure per se, we compare the new and the current method with respect to final MLE outcome. However, since the numerical optimization method used after initialization is the same, any variations in the results originate from the different initialization procedures.
We stress again that in a vast number of cases the working of the current method is satisfactory and we are aiming at improvements when dealing with 'awkward samples'. These commonly arise with ST distributions having low degrees of freedom, about $v=1$ or even less, but exceptions exist, such as the second sample in Fig. $2 .$
The primary aspect of interest is improvement in the quality of data fitting. This is typically expressed as an increase of the maximal achieved log-likelihood, in its penalized form. Another desirable effect is improvement in computing time.
The basic set-up for such numerical experiments is represented by simple random samples, obtained as independent and identically distributed values drawn from a named ST $(\xi, \omega, \lambda, v)$. In all cases we set $\xi=0$ and $\omega=1$. For the other ingredients, we have selected the following values:
$\lambda: 0, \quad 2, \quad 8$,
$v: 1,3,8$,
$n: 50,100,250,500$
and, for each combination of these values, $N=2000$ samples have been drawn.
The smallest examined sample size, $n=50$, must be regarded as a sort of 'sensible lower bound' for realistic fitting of flexible distributions such as the ST. In this respect, recall the cautionary note of Azzalini and Capitanio (2014, p. 63) about the fitting of a SN distribution with small sample sizes. Since the ST involves an additional parameter, notably one having a strong effect on tail behaviour, that annotation holds a fortiori here.
For each of the $3 \times 3 \times 4 \times 2000=72,000$ samples so generated, estimation of the parameters $(\xi, \omega, \lambda, \nu)$ has been carried out using the following methods.

distributed-process-simplelocalnetSimple zero-configuration backend for Cloud Haskell
Safe HaskellNone
To simplify getting started we provide special support for master and slave nodes (see startSlave and startMaster). Use of these functions is completely optional; you can use the local backend without making use of the predefined master and slave nodes.
Minimal example
 import System.Environment (getArgs)
 import Control.Distributed.Process
 import Control.Distributed.Process.Node (initRemoteTable)
 import Control.Distributed.Process.Backend.SimpleLocalnet
 master :: Backend -> [NodeId] -> Process ()
 master backend slaves = do
 -- Do something interesting with the slaves
 liftIO. putStrLn $ "Slaves: " ++ show slaves
 -- Terminate the slaves when the master terminates (this is optional)
 terminateAllSlaves backend
 main :: IO ()
 main = do
 args <- getArgs
 case args of
 ["master", host, port] -> do
 backend <- initializeBackend host port initRemoteTable
 startMaster backend (master backend)
 ["slave", host, port] -> do
 backend <- initializeBackend host port initRemoteTable
 startSlave backend
Compiling and Running
Save to example.hs and compile using
 ghc -threaded example.hs
Fire up some slave nodes (for the example, we run them on a single machine):
./example slave localhost 8080 &
./example slave localhost 8081 &
./example slave localhost 8082 &
./example slave localhost 8083 &
And start the master node:
./example master localhost 8084
which should then output:
 Slaves: [nid://localhost:8083:0,nid://localhost:8082:0,nid://localhost:8081:0,nid://localhost:8080:0]
at which point the slaves should exit.
To run the example on multiple machines, you could run
./example slave 8080 &
./example slave 8080 &
./example slave 8080 &
./example slave 8080 &
on four different machines (with IP addresses, and run the master on a fifth node (or on any of the four machines that run the slave nodes).
It is important that every node has a unique (hostname, port number) pair, and that the hostname you use to initialize the node can be resolved by peer nodes. In other words, if you start a node and pass hostname localhost then peer nodes won't be able to reach it because localhost will resolve to a different IP address for them.
If you try the above example and the master process cannot find any slaves, then it might be that your firewall settings do not allow for UDP multicast (in particular, the default iptables on some Linux distributions might not allow it).
data Backend Source
Local backend
newLocalNode :: IO LocalNode
Create a new local node
findPeers :: Int -> IO [NodeId]
findPeers t broadcasts a who's there? message on the local network, waits t msec, and then collects and returns the answers. You can use this to dynamically discover peer nodes.
redirectLogsHere :: [ProcessId] -> Process ()
Make sure that all log messages are printed by the logger on the current node
Slave nodes
startSlave :: Backend -> IO ()Source
Calling slave sets up a new local node and then waits. You start processes on the slave by calling spawn from other nodes.
This function does not return. The only way to exit the slave is to CTRL-C the process or call terminateSlave from another node.
terminateSlave :: NodeId -> Process ()Source
Terminate the slave at the given node ID
findSlaves :: Backend -> Process [ProcessId]Source
Find slave nodes
terminateAllSlaves :: Backend -> Process ()Source
Terminate all slaves
Master nodes
startMaster :: Backend -> ([NodeId] -> Process ()) -> IO ()Source
startMaster finds all slaves currently available on the local network, redirects all log messages to itself, and then calls the specified process, passing the list of slaves nodes.
Terminates when the specified process terminates. If you want to terminate the slaves when the master terminates, you should manually call terminateAllSlaves.
If you start more slave nodes after having started the master node, you can discover them with later calls to findSlaves, but be aware that you will need to call redirectLogHere to redirect their logs to the master node.
Note that you can use functionality of SimpleLocalnet directly (through Backend), instead of using'startMaster'/'startSlave', if the master/slave distinction does not suit your application.

Identity-Based Online/Offline Key Encapsulation and Encryption
Source: New York University
An Identity-Based Online/Offline Encryption (IBOOE) scheme splits the encryption process into two phases. The first phase performs most of the heavy computations, such as modular exponentiation or pairing over points on elliptic curve. The knowledge of the plaintext or the receiver's identity is not required until the second phase, where the ciphertext is produced by only light computations, such as integer addition/multiplication or hashing. This division of computations makes encryption affordable by devices with limited computation power since the preparation works can be executed "Offine" or possibly by some powerful devices.

The problem is caused when JNI native code triggers an LE condition in the range CEE3208S to CEE3234S (inclusive), which are considered to be "arithmetic" LE conditions. When the JVM command-line option -XCEEHDLR is present, the JVM should convert arithmetic LE conditions that occur in JNI native code to Java exceptions of type com.ibm.le.conditionhandling.ConditionException. The problem is that the arithmetic condition is not being converted to a Java exception, and instead, the LE condition is being treated as a regular crash. The JVM therefore generates diagnostics and terminates the process. Note that this is an intermittent issue and only occurs when a thread doing garbage collection (GC) work examines the resources owned by the thread that triggered the arithmetic LE condition
This defect will be fixed in: 7.0.0 SR1 6.0.1 SR2. The JVM has been updated such that threads doing work for the GC no longer interfere with the JVM's ability to detect that the arithmetic LE condition occurred in a JNI native.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Q-NEX are both used for device remote control and management. MDM is something like here primarily utilized for the remote control of interactive display panels, focusing on screen and power control. On the other hand, Q-NEX is designed not only for interactive flat panel control but also for managing other AV equipment in classrooms. Many people are curious about the differences between MDM and Q-NEX. Are they the same thing? Can they be used interchangeably? This article aims to explore the disparities between them by comparing their functions and applications.
1.MDM versus Q-NEX in Their Makeup
MDM and Q-NEX differ in terms of their makeup, attributes, and integration capabilities. To gain a better understanding of their fundamental differences, let's delve into what they are and how they differ.
MDM is a software-based remote control and management system. It is developed and preinstalled as software in interactive display panels to achieve remote device control and management. IT administrators log in to the MDM web interface and execute specific commands to control the interactive display panels. MDM allows for one-to-many device control, enabling IT administrators to control multiple displays simultaneously. However, the application of MDM is limited to interactive displays only, so it cannot be used to control other devices in the classroom or meeting room. Now, let's move on to Q-NEX.
Q-NEX solutions feature a hardware-based remote control and management system, relying on two devices: the Q-NEX Networked Media Processor (NMP) and Media Box (MBX). The NMP incorporates various built-in modules such as power relays, wireless microphone systems, LAN switches, Networked AV Decoders, digital amplifiers, AV matrix switches, and serial control modules. Importantly, the NMP comes with universal AV ports that are compatible with a variety of AV equipment. By connecting all the AV equipment, remote control and management of all the devices in the classroom can be achieved, regardless of the device type or brand.
2.2 MDM versus Q-NEX in Their Pros and Cons
Now that we have a basic understanding of MDM and Q-NEX, including their makeup and attributes, let's take a closer look at their advantages and disadvantages in terms of deployment and applications.
Compatibility plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of a hardware or software solution. If a device cannot easily integrate and be compatible with other devices, controlling them together becomes challenging.
2.1.1 MDM Compatibility
MDM has compromised compatibility. Before installing the MDM software on an interactive display, it needs to be made compatible with the display's motherboard. Compatibility achieved for a specific model of interactive display from one brand may not extend to other models produced by the same manufacturer, let alone displays from different brands. In short, the limited compatibility of MDM makes it inconvenient and troublesome for wider application scenarios.
2.1.2 Q-NEX Compatibility
In comparison, Q-NEX offers easy and flexible hardware-based compatibility. As mentioned earlier, Q-NEX's NMP is an all-in-one device with universal AV ports, making it universally compatible with various models and brands of interactive flat panels. Additionally, Q-NEX can easily integrate with any display featuring an HDMI interface for control and management, which is challenging to achieve solely from a software perspective. In summary, Q-NEX's high compatibility allows for easy integration with a wide range of displays for remote control and management.
Controllability refers to the ability to perform multifaceted functional controls across different types of devices. MDM and Q-NEX differ in terms of the range and types of controls they offer.
2.2.1 MDM Controllability
MDM provides convenient but limited control capabilities. By installing MDM software on a display, users can perform customized functional remote control actions such as timed power on/off, screen lock/unlock, and screen wake-up. However, controlling other audiovisual equipment deployed with the interactive flat panel display is not possible without switching to a different control system. From this perspective, MDM-based control is limited and lacks unified control. However, if classrooms are only equipped with the same model of interactive flat panel displays and nothing else, MDM can be considered a suitable option.
2.2.2 Q-NEX Controllability
In contrast to MDM, Q-NEX offers controllability across different types of devices. Q-NEX's NMP consolidates all types of audiovisual equipment into a unified control and management system, enabling touch panel control and remote control over networks. With Q-NEX, you can control various devices such as interactive displays, speakers, microphones, electrical window curtains, projectors, projection screens, air conditioners, TVs, lamps, and electrical locks, among others. This allows school administrators to achieve efficient and unified control of AV equipment throughout the campus.
3. AV Distribution
AV broadcasting is an essential application in smart campuses, utilized for important announcements and emergency notifications. The readability, convenience, and promptness of AV broadcasting become crucial factors when comparing MDM and Q-NEX.
3.1 AV Distribution by MDM
MDM offers less reliable and slower AV broadcasting. In MDM's AV broadcasting, all files are uploaded and downloaded from a cloud platform, making the download and upload speed susceptible to internet connection quality. Conducting live AV broadcasting with MDM can be challenging. Additionally, storage considerations must be taken into account for AV files.
3.2 AV Distribution by Q-NEX
Q-NEX, on the other hand, provides fast and reliable AV broadcasting. With Q-NEX, AV files are uploaded and downloaded on a local media server, and control signals are sent out from the Q-NEX platform to enable AV files be lived streamed to targeted AV equipment in the classroom. As the files are stored locally, concerns about internet connection quality are alleviated. Furthermore, Q-NEX supports both web-based and app-based control, allowing IT administrators to conduct urgent AV broadcasting using their smartphones from anywhere, at any time.
MDM enables schools to control devices remotely, but its application is restricted to interactive flat panels it is compatible with. It cannot be used to conveniently control other AV equipment in the classroom, resulting in a lack of unified control. On the other hand, Q-NEX, with its all-in-one features and universal AV ports, allows for easy integration with various multimedia devices, enabling unified remote control and management.

Oratory comes from the latin, orare, which means to pray. Both are buildings that are set aside as a place for people to gather for prayer, worship, and the reception of the sacraments.Some people use chapel and oratory interchangeably, as they often fulfill the same purpose, but in a technical sense, they are different.
The sacraments of initiation, first communion, and matrimony are recorded in parish churches. This is what sets an oratory apart from a chapel. Oratories often functions the same way a parish church does in regards to record keeping. Before Mystical Rose was given the designation as an oratory, these sacraments were performed here but recorded at St. Patrick's Church across the street. Since its designation as an oratory, Mystical Rose has been keeping its own sacramental records.
The designation "oratory" is granted by the bishop of a local diocese.

Abstract: Does JDataStore support Transactions?
Yes, Transactions are supported by JDataStore.
Robust applications require some level of transaction isolation. Not only do transactions ensure that you are not reading dirty or phantom data, but you can also undo changes made during a transaction. Transaction support also enables automatic crash recovery, and is required for JDBC access.
A transaction's life cycle begins with any read or write operation through a connection. The DataStore uses stream locks to control access to resources. To read a stream or make a change to any part of a stream (a byte in a file, a row in a table), you must be able to acquire a lock on that stream. Once a connection acquires a lock, it will hold on to it until the transaction is committed or rolled back.

BET : An Inductive Logic Programming Workbench
Existing ILP (Inductive Logic Programming) systems are implemented in different languages namely C, Progol, etc. Also, each system has its customized format for the input data. This makes it very tedious and time consuming on the part of a user to utilize such a system for experimental purposes as it demands a thorough understanding of that system and its input specification. In the spirit of Weka , we present a relational learning workbench called BET(Background + Examples = Theories), implemented in Java. The objective of BET is to shorten the learning curve of users (including novices) and to facilitate speedy development of new relational learning systems as well as quick integration of existing ILP systems. The standardized input format makes it easier to experiment with different relational learning algorithms on a common dataset.

Calculating the chance of spoofing an agile source port randomised resolver
Posted by bert hubert Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:15:00 GMT
This post sets out to calculate how hard it is to spoof a resolver that takes simple, unilateral, steps to prevent such spoofing.
Unilateral in this case means that any resolver can implement these steps, without changing the DNS protocol or authoritative server behaviour. Everybody that implements the ideas below immediately improves the general security of the DNS.
To save you all the reading, the simple unilateral measures can bring down the chance to be spoofed to under 1% after a year of non-stop 50 megabit/s packet blasting.
Note however that my math or my ideas may be wrong. Please read carefully!
Work so far
Recapping, calculations so far show that a fully source port randomized nameserver can be spoofed with a 64% chance of success within 24 hours, requiring around 0.4TB of packets to be generated. If 2 hours are available, the chance of success is 8.1%.
This assumes that the attacker is able to generate around 50 megabits/s, and also important, that the resolver is able to process 50k incoming responses/s.
Details are on with the caveat that where it says "1.5 - 2 GB", it should say "36GB".
Since that posting, quite a number of people have studied the calculations, and they appear to hold up.
Note that the present post does not address the dangers created by those able to actively intercept and modify traffic - people with such abilities have little need to spoof DNS anyhow.
The current situation is not acceptable - the resources needed to perform a successful spoofing attack are available, if not generally, then to an relevant subset of Internet users.
It turns out that it takes a lot of effort to get the world to apply even a minor patch that has received tremendous front-page coverage on all the security websites - the source port randomisation patches in this case.
So if we want to move quickly, we need a solution that can be rolled out without having to upgrade large parts of the Internet.
Agile countermeasures
There are a number of strategies a resolver could employ to make itself effectively unspoofeable, some of these include:
A) Sending out questions over TCP/IP
B) Repeating questions a number of times, and requiring the answers to be equivalent
The problems with these two techniques is that they imply a certain overhead and increase the general CPU utilization on the Internet.
Furthermore there are strategies that make spoofing harder, but not impracticable:
C) Case games ('dns-0x20')
D) Use multiple source addresses
A very comprehensive enumeration of techniques can be found on
Sadly, it appears that on this impressive list there is nothing without more or less unacceptable overhead that really gets us out of the woods, where this is arbitrarily defined as reducing the spoofing success rate to below 1% after a year of non-stop trying at 50 megabit/s.
Detecting a spoofing attempt in progress
Since any spoofed response has a chance of around 2^-32 of being accepted, it stands to reason around 2^31 bogus responses will arrive at the resolver before the attacker manages to achieve his goals.
Since we know we have effective countermeasures available, like A and B mentioned above, we could deploy these in case a spoofing attempt is detected. Remember that A and B are generally available, but that we don't want to resort to them all the time, for all domains, because of their overhead.
Occasionally, port numbers get modified in transit. Additionally, responses to queries sometimes arrive late enough that a new equivalent query has since been sent. This means we should not consider a single response mismatch to be a sign of a spoofing attempt in progress.
If we allow X mismatches before falling back on A or B, the chance of a single query being spoofed is:
 --------- ~= 2^-32 * X
 N * P * I
Assuming each individual attack lasts W seconds (being latency between the authentic authoritative server and the resolver), the combined spoofing chance after T seconds becomes:
1 - (1 - 2^-32 * X) ~= 2^-32 * X * T/W
Putting in 20 for X and 0.1s for W, this gets us a combined spoofing chance of 0.4% for a full day. Interesting, but not good enough, especially since the attacker might well send only X packets per attempt, and launch far more attempts.
However, if the attacker has a defined goal about what to spoof, each successive attempt might be for a different domain name, or differ in other respects, but all those attempts will share some characteristics.
Two things that will be identical, or at least reasonably unique are the source address of the spoofed packet (aka, the network address of the authentic authoritative server), plus the 'zone cut apex'. This last bit requires some understanding of the way a resolver works.
(I made up this phrase, 'zone cut apex', but I think there are people with better knowledge of DNS verbiage than I, I'd love to hear of a better name)
When a resolver asks NS1.EXAMPLE.COM for '', the resolver knows it is asking NS1.EXAMPLE.COM in its role as 'EXAMPLE.COM' nameserver - this is how it selected that server.
This means that an attacker might try many variations on '', what will remain identical is the 'zone cut apex', which is 'EXAMPLE.COM'. What will also remain identical is the (small) set of servers available.
I'll get into more detail after Dan Kaminksy has held his presentation. The upshot however is that multiple different attempts can be correlated, and thus be counted together in the spoofing-detection counts.
If we conservatively decide to impose a 5 minute 'fallback to A or B'-regime for a {source IP, zone cut apex}-tuple, and leave the detection limit at 20, this means an attacker will have one chance every 5 minutes of getting in an attempt.
This is equivalent to setting W equal to 300 seconds above, yielding us a combined chance of spoofing a domain after a year of trying of 0.05%.
Well within our goal.
Reality intrudes
Sadly, the reality is that we won't recognize all spoofed packets that guessed wrong, so to speak. Typical operating systems will only let a nameserver know about packets that arrived on a socket open for that purpose.
In the very worst case, the server is only listening on a single port, and by the time a single mismatch is received by the nameserver process, on average 32000 will have arrived on the network interface.
This means that in the calculation above, if we don't take additional measures, we need to set X to 32000, leading to a combined monthly spoofing chance of 6.4% (and a yearly near-certainty).
Fine tuning things
By raising the fallback period to an hour, the yearly spoofing chance becomes 6.5%, assuming we only see 1 in every 32000 spoof attempts.
If in addition a small number of sockets is kept open, say 10, to function as 'canary ports', X reduces to 3200, and the yearly spoofing chance is back at a low 0.65%.
Canary ports serve no function except to detect spoofing attempts. For efficiency reasons, these ports may simply be ports that had previously been used for source port randomisation, but kept around somewhat longer.
The number of canary ports, and the fallback period can be tuned at will to achieve desired spoofing resilience levels.
Remaining Problems
Countermeasure 'A' does not work for domains not offering TCP service. Countermeasure 'B' does not work for domains where single authoritative servers generate differing answers to repetitive questions. This might happen in case of (hardware) load balancers, or load balanced desynchronised nameservers.
Best results might be achieved by alternately trying countermeasure A and B - any server that does not support TCP and sends out inconsistent replies is in for some tough love if someone attempts to spoof the domains it hosts.
If the calculations and ideas elaborated above hold up, it appears feasible to achieve arbitrarily low spoofing chances, without doing any further protocol work.
Importantly, such changes would allow individual resolvers to protect their users without having to wait for changes to all authoritative servers.
In other words, everybody who participates receives an immediate benefit.

Most of the time, Frigidaire dishwasher lights blinking is not a major problem and can be diagnosed easily. Different lights indicate different causes, and once they are solved, you can start using your dishwasher again. Since the Frigidaire dishwasher blinking lights indicate different causes than other dishwashers, you should know the exact reason behind it. Therefore, knowing the correct cause is important since that is the only way to eliminate the Frigidaire dishwasher blinking lights. Consider the following factors to troubleshoot the Frigidaire dishwasher lights blinking issues.
Perform a Basic Reset
- 1 Perform a Basic Reset
- 2 Start/ Resume Keypad
- 3 Clean Keypad
- 4 Hi-Temp Wash or Hi-Temp Rinse Keypad
- 5 Heating Element
- 6 Check Frigidaire Dishwasher's Error Codes
- 7 Drain Pump
- 8 Touchpad and Control Panel
- 9 Frequently Asked Questions
- 10 Conclusion
Before you get into detail about troubleshooting your dishwasher, you should perform a basic reset:
- Switch off the dishwasher and unplug it from power, or turn off the circuit breaker.
- Wait for about five minutes and restore the power to the appliance by turning on the switch.
- Restart the dishwasher, select a new cycle and check whether the problem is solved.
Start/ Resume Keypad
A special sensor in the Frigidaire dishwasher detects whether the door is closed properly or not. So, it is necessary to close the door properly and latch it before a cycle is started. If not, the Start/ Resume light will flash. If you see this light flashing, you should open the door and shut it again to ensure it is latched properly. Then press the Start button to start the cycle, and this should have solved the problem.
The notification of cleaned dishwashers is indicated by illuminating the "Clean" keypad. But if this sign is flashing on the keypad, it indicates a problem with the temperature of the water. To test the water temperature:
- Turn on your home hot water sink connected with the dishwasher.
- Using a thermometer, check whether the temperature of water is around 120 ˚F.
- If the water has a temperature below 120 ˚F, turn on your home heater to ensure the water temperature to be around 120 ˚F. You can turn on your dishwasher to check whether the problem is fixed.
But if you cannot change the water temperature and if the problem remains, you would need to call a plumber for help.
Hi-Temp Wash or Hi-Temp Rinse Keypad
These options, named "Hi-Temp Wash" and "Hi-Temp Rinse" in a Frigidaire dishwasher, warm water for a cycle until the water reaches a specific temperature. If the "Hi-Temp Wash" or "Hi-Temp Rinse" button flashes during the water warming time, it indicates that the cycle has been paused. The buttons would stop flashing after the water reaches a certain temperature, and the cycle will be resumed.
Water is heated to a specifically selected temperature by the heating element. If water fails to reach the proper temperature within a pre-defined time, a light indicator on the control panel will flash. This indicates that something has gone wrong with the heating elements. Check the continuity of the heating element using a multimeter, and if the heating element does not indicate any continuity, then the heating element must have been burned out. Since these coils are not repairable, you would have to replace them to solve the problem.
Check Frigidaire Dishwasher's Error Codes
If your dishwasher is blinking even though the display window is working, you should check the display window for error codes. Then, refer to the user manual and consult the wiring diagram and tech sheet for more information. Follow the instructions indicated there as it is the best solution for your dishwasher.
The function of the drain pump is to remove used water out through the drain hose. If the drain pump is defective, it would not be able to drain out water. Your appliance indicates this as you can see the Frigidaire dishwasher lights blinking. Check the continuity of the drain motor using a multimeter to determine whether it is defective or not. As the drain motor is not repairable, you would have to replace the drain pump if it is found to be faulty.
Touchpad and Control Panel
If there are any issues with the touchpad or the control panel, you should first confirm that the display is working. If it is working, try pressing the touchpad buttons and check whether they respond. If you observe that some buttons don't respond correctly, the entire touchpad and control panel can be at fault. After confirmation, you would need to replace these components. Sometimes the touchpads are sold separately from the control panel by certain manufacturers. Other manufacturers would need you to buy the touchpad and control panel together. If you cannot replace the touchpad separately, then replace both the touchpad and control panel.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your dishwasher has continuously blinking Start, Wash, or Clean lights, it would indicate that there are electrical or water flow problems. Some issues can be solved simply by resetting, while others would need more troubleshooting.
What is indicated if the Option LED is flashing on the Frigidaire dishwasher?
Flashing LEDs in Hi-Temp Wash and No Heat Dry/ Power Dry Off indicates a power failure. Press Start/ Cancel and select the desired options and cycle again.
Why is Status LED flashing?
The Status LEDs will flash when the door is opened, and you should close the door to get rid of this.
As you have gained an overall idea about the Frigidaire dishwasher lights blinking, you can troubleshoot your dishwasher easily. If you need more clarification on the blinking indications, you can refer to your user manual, as it would give you a specific solution for your dishwasher model. You would also find it useful to know the reasons why your Frigidaire dishwasher won't start and how to troubleshoot them.
If you are thinking of purchasing a new dishwasher, avoid these Worst Dishwasher Brands and choose from the recommended models indicated in the guide.

Giraffoperiscopic Investigations
Giraffoperiscopic Investigations (2015) is a series of workshops held in relation to the exhibition We Are Reflected In Gazes Of Glass at Malmö Castle and is a part of the larger project How Do You See? During the workshop children build periscopes through which they can experience the stuffed and exhibited animals. Throughout the workshop a non-anthropocentric viewpoint is held, where the focus is on the experiences of different non-human animals and their life stories. Questions such as how and why the animals got here and how different animals, if visiting, could experience the same exhibition is asked.
The children are also leaving suggestions of names that could be given to Malmö's famous giraffe who has belonged to, and been on display at, Malmö Museum for over eight decades. The question is though: Can one name an animal that has been killed and capitalized by an institution without turning them into an even stronger brand and commodity?
Giraffoperiscopic Investigations was made in collaboration with Konstfrämjandet Skåne, Bästa Biennalen and Malmö Museer.
The project How Do You See? consists of three different chapters:
Slit, Scratch, Stuff, Stitch -an exhibition at Galleri S:t Gertrud
We are Reflected in Gazes of Glass -an exhibition at Malmö Castle
Giraffoperiscopic Investigations -a series of workshops at Malmö Castle

Towards a Work-Related Turnover Risk Management in Manufacturing SMEs
Authors: Svenja Korder, Dominik Breuherr, Gunther Reinhart
Abstract: The shortage of skilled workers in Germany caused by demographic change steadily increases. In the manufacturing sector, this situation leads to difficulties filling vacant positions and thus to extended vacancy periods of jobs in companies. Therefore, the turnover of skilled workers becomes a problem, especially in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, as individual positions are not filled redundantly. High costs due to temporary workers or the rejection of orders can be the consequences. Turnover research has been conducted for a long time, but there is a lack of a standardized method to capture the turnover risk of skilled workers. This paper presents an approach for the systematic assessment of turnover risk in manufacturing work. The method is based on an employee survey. The results are transferred into a risk matrix in order to derive the level of risk for work-related turnover of individual employees. To ensure a cost-, personneland time-efficient implementation in the operations of SMEs, the method will be transferred into a software application. In this way, the turnover risk can be made transparent. The user can select specific measures evaluated according to manufacturing-specific performance indicators. These measures should help SMEs prevent the turnover of critical specialists and avoid high costs caused by long vacancy periods of jobs.

Optical modes bearing optical vortices are important light systems in which to encode information. Optical vortices are robust features of optical beams that do not dissipate upon propagation. Thus decoding the modal content of a beam is a vital component of the process. In this work we present a method to decode modal superpositions of light beams that contain optical vortices. We do so using shear interferometry, which presents a simple and effective means of determining the vortex content of a beam, and extract the parameters of the component vortex modes that constitute them. We find that optical modes in a beam are easily determined. Its modal content can be extracted when they are of comparable magnitude. The use of modes of well defined topological charge but not well defined radial-mode content, such as those produced by phase-only encoding, are much easier to diagnose than pure Laguerre-Gauss modes.

Activities: Coin Rubbing
Break open the piggy bank and make coin rubbings!
- Artist:Your kid.
- Coins:A few coins won't buy you much these days, but they will buy your kid's attention to create some artwork!
- Paper:Thin printer paper.
- Crayons:Hola, Crayola®!
- Have your kid place a coin on a hard surface, like a table or the floor, and cover it with a piece of paper.
- Then have her rub the crayon over the hidden coin to make a coin rubbing. The image of the coin will magically appear on the paper.
- Next, have her flip the coin over and rub the other side to create a different image. (Now might be a good opportunity to throw in a few presidential facts about the faces shes scribbling over!)
- She can use different color crayons—red, orange and blue—to create a colorful image. Bet Lincoln would look lovely in purple!
- Encourage her to make a cool design, like a rainbow or circle, by tracing a series of coins. It'll look like a million bucks!
- Did you know that the penny's end may be near? Pressure is building to get rid of the copper coins. You can't buy anything with them and absurdly, they cost more than a cent to mint. Economists estimate that the US loses approximately $900 million a year on penny production and handling. Just think how many pairs of shoes that kind of money would buy!


Understanding multivariable control: The missing metric
Advanced process control: An improved understanding of the role of multivariable control in industrial process operations will lead to more cost-effective solutions and engage a wider circle of people in the process automation enterprise.
By Allan Kern April 4, 2020
Multivariable control almost always has been explained in complex terms, invoking concepts such as detailed process models, real-time optimization, and matrix math. This means few peopleoutside the tight circle of advanced process control (APC) engineers, have understood it well. Greater understanding of multivariable control in industrial process operations brings more people into the process automation enterprise. Operational benefits include timeliness, consistency, and fewer alarms.
Spreading APC knowledge
Most other stakeholders have been left at least partially in the dark, often having to buy off on APC projects when they may not fully understand the objectives, benefits, implications and odds of success. Moreover, this situation again left industry at the mercy of APC engineers to explain APC's many unexpected shortfalls such as high cost, short lifecycle, and high maintenance, which in most cases, have not been satisfactorily explained.
With the benefit of nearly four decades of multivariable control experience, a more qualitative and intuitive understanding of multivariable control and the role it plays in industrial process operation is (finally) emerging. This can have several beneficial impacts for APC and process automation, including simpler and more robust software tools, better defined applications, and greater participation of all stakeholders.
What is multivariable control?
Multivariable control can be defined as automation of the single-loop controller setpoint and output adjustments that are otherwise left to the operating team to manually implement. When operators make setpoint and output adjustments in the course of a shift, that's manual multivariable control. Automatic multivariable control technologies, such as model-predictive control (MPC) or model-less multivariable control (XMC) automate this task.
Automatic multivariable control — or closing multivariable loops brings the same benefits as closing single loops including greater timeliness and consistency, fewer alarms and constraint violations, and greater optimization. And it often includes significant operational and/or economic benefits.
Role of multivariable control in process operations
The role of multivariable control in industrial process operations can be understood as the difference between automated multivariable control and manual multivariable control. Industry has always had manual multivariable control, because almost every process operation is a multivariable control proposition — just ask any operator.
Automatic multivariable control automates, or takes over, the task of making setpoint and output adjustments for groups of related controllers. This often results in more consistent and timely adjustments, fewer alarms and constraint violations, and greater optimization. These benefits can also be understood as the intrinsic benefits of closed-loop vs. open-loop control, which have always been well understood in the single-loop control world and apply equally (or geometrically) to multivariable control.
The traditional constraint diagram (Figure 1) illustrates the difference. With manual multivariable control, operators keep a buffer, or margin for error, between ongoing operation and constraint limits, in case there is an unexpected process change or disturbance. The buffer typically translates into an economic penalty relative to fully optimized operation.
With automatic or closed-loop multivariable control, operation can be held closer to actual constraints and the buffer region is captured as advanced control benefits. This is possible because multivariable control means an automatic response can be relied upon to take action in the event of changing process conditions. In the same way, multivariable control can automatically pursue receding constraints to capture greater earnings and optimization — it works in both directions.
Where are the applications?
Many multivariable control applications have remained "below the radar" of the conventional large matrix MPC paradigm, because they have not been seen as justifying the high threshold cost of MPC, and were too big for the limitations of advanced regulatory control (ARC).
Figure 2 is a "lowaltitude radar" that reveals the multivariable control applications that have historically remained below the MPC radar. It shows the number of operator interventions, in terms of setpoint, output, or mode changes, made at an operator console, over a given time period. It shows the 25 worst actors, which are those controllers that have required the most operator interventions. This is an easy chart to make on any modern control system console.
Micromanaged APC
It's a good bet that many or most of these interventions represent manual multivariable control scenarios, where the operating team becomes caught up in frequent micromanagement of groups of related controllers.
It is the objective of multivariable control to automate these manual multivariable control scenarios to close these multivariable loops and reduce these numbers.
Industry's missing APC metric
Figure 2 may look familiar. Industry adopted similar best practices at least twice in recent memory to manage loops in manual (except now we are talking about multivariable loops in manual) and to manage bad actor alarms (except now we are talking about bad actor loops that require frequent operator intervention).
Multivariable loops in manual and frequent operator interventions carry several undesirable implications, including more alarms and constraint violations, less operator attention to higher level tasks, and less optimization, since manual intervention, by definition, is often inconsistent, untimely, and suboptimal.
Effective metrics provide a meaningful measurement, are intuitive, and reflect progress over time. Figure 2 meets these criteria and reflects a fundamental aspect of successful process automation and quality of console operation. Has industry been overlooking this natural and potentially important metric?

The information in this article applies to:
I keep seeing the following error message in one of my plans. What does it mean?
"A roof overhang may intrude too far into a wall on floor 1."
This warning message displays when a roof plane overhang is extending into a wall in your plan rather than butting against the wall's surface. When this occurs, you may see unexpected results in 3D views, such as a wall that does not generate upward to its full height or unwanted roof surfaces in interior rooms.
To solve this problem in Chief Architect or Home Designer Pro, you need to locate the roof plane in question and edit its shape so that it no longer intrudes into the wall.
Click OK to close the error message, then locate the problem roof plane. Select this roof plane and use its edit handles to move the edge that extends into a wall back so that it just touches the exterior surface.
If you continue to encounter this error message after editing the roof plane, other roof planes with the same problem are present in your plan. Locate them and repeat this process.

Some of the things to look for
when walking on Table Mountain
Table Mountain is a floral wonder. In a relatively small area almost 1500 plant species have been recorded. There are more species of plant on this small mountain than in the whole of the British isles!! So it is worth keeping your eyes open on a hike and just looking at the plants around your feet. What adds extra fascination is the difference between both the species of plant and the time of flowering in different areas of the mountain.
Last week I hiked along the 12 Apostels from Llandudno to Kasteelspoort,where we descended. Here are just some of the plants we spotted along the way.

It then generates a table showing how often the characters a through z are found in the text selection.
(publish :path "/charcount"
 :content-type "text/html"
 :function
 #'(lambda (req ent)
 (let* ((body (get-request-body req))
 (text (if* body
 then (cdr (assoc "quotation"
 (form-urlencoded-to-query body)
 :test #'equal)))))
 (with-http-response (req ent)
 (with-http-body (req ent)
 (if* text
 then ; got the quotation, analyze it
 (html
 (:html
 (:head (:title "Character Counts")
 (:body
 (:table
 (do ((i #.(char-code #\a) (1+ i)))
 ((> i #.(char-code #\z)))
 (html (:tr
 (:td (:princ (code-char i)))
 (:td (:princ
 (count (code-char i)
 text)))))))))))
 else ; ask for quotation
 (html
 (:html
 (:head (:title "quote character counter")
 (:body
 ((:form :action "charcount"
 :method "POST")
 "Enter your favorite quote "
 :br
 ((:textarea
 :name "quotation"
 :rows 30
 :cols 50))
 :br
 ((:input :type "submit"
 :name "submit"
 :value "count it")))))))))))))
In this example we ask for the body of the request and then the value of the field named "quotation". If that isn't found then we assume that we are being called to display the form. We could have checked the value of (request-method req) which will be :get when we should put up the form and :post when we should analyze data from the form.
Form data encoded as a multipart body
The final method of sending form data is as a multipart message. This occurs when you specify a :method of "POST" and an :enctype of "multipart/form-data". The handler for this must detect when it is being called from a :post request and must call a sequence of functions to retrieve each item from the message body. First it calls get-multipart-header to get the next header (or nil if there are no more headers). The header data is an assoc list where the values have different formats as described in the AllegroServe manual. After reading the header the handler must call get-multipart-sequence to read successive chunks of data associated with this header.
An example demonstrating this is too large to include here but can be found in the AllegroServe examples.cl file (search in that file for "getfile-got")
Authorizing a request
You don't necessarily want to allow everyone to access every page you publish. We will describe common ways to check whether someone has permission to access a page. There are two ways to do the authorization checks. You can write the tests yourself in the entity function, or you can create an authorizer object and attach it to the entity. Below we'll show you how to write the code to do the checks manually. The AllegroServe manual describes the authorizer objects.
Password
One way to control access to a page is to request that the person at the browser enter a name and password. You can create a form and have the user enter the information and then click on a button to submit it. Another way is to return a 401 (response unauthorized) code to the request made to access your page. When given that response, the web browser will pop up a window requesting a name and password, and after that's entered, the browser resends the request but includes the name and password in the header.
The method you choose for asking for the name and password may depend on how secure you want the response to be. Using a form the name and password are sent to the web server without any encoding at all (other than the simple urlencoding which only affects unusual characters). If your form uses the "GET" method then the name and password appear in the url which makes them very easy to spot, so you at least want to use the "POST" method if you use a form. If on the other hand you use the 401 response code, then the name and password are sent in a more encrypted form (using an encoding called base64) however anyone sufficiently motivated can decrypt this without a lot of trouble. AllegroServe does not yet support md5 authentication which is the most secure way to do authentication in the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
One advantage of using the 401 response to cause the user to enter a name and password is that most web browsers will continue to send the entered name and password along with future requests to the server until the web browser is restarted. Thus you can simultaneously unlock a whole group of pages. If you choose to handle the authentication in a form you may want to use a cookie to make a record that this web browser is now qualified to access a certain group of pages. Cookies aren't hard to store, but some users turn off cookie saving thus you will make your site inaccessible to these people. Another authorization mechanism is to insert hidden fields in forms with values that tell the server that this access is authorized for a certain amount of time.
This is an example of using the 401 response to do user authorization.
(publish :path "/secret"
 :content-type "text/html"
 :function
 #'(lambda (req ent)
 (multiple-value-bind (name password) (get-basic-authorization req)
 (if* (and (equal name "foo") (equal password "bar"))
 then (with-http-response (req ent)
 (with-http-body (req ent)
 (html (:head (:title "Secret page"))
 (:body "You made it to the secret page"))))
 else ; cause browser to ask name and password
 (with-http-response (req ent :response
 *response-unauthorized*)
 (set-basic-authorization req "secretserver")
 (with-http-body (req ent)))))))
Source address
You can determine the address from which a request was made and restrict access based on that address. If the request came through a proxy server then you are really determining the address of the proxy server. The following code only serves the 'secret' page if the request came from a browser running on the same machine as the server, and which is made over the loopback network on the machine. The loopback network is a network that exists entirely inside the operating system of the machine. The convention is that a loopback network address has 127 in the most significant byte, and that is what we test for in the following example:
(publish :path "/local-secret"
 :content-type "text/html"
 :function
 #'(lambda (req ent)
 (let ((net-address (ash (socket:remote-host
 (request-socket req))
 -24)))
 (if* (equal net-address 127)
 then (with-http-response (req ent)
 (with-http-body (req ent)
 (html (:head (:title "Secret page"))
 (:body (:b "Congratulations. ")
 "You are on the local network"))))
 else
 (with-http-response (req ent)
 (with-http-body (req ent)
 (html
 (:html (:head (:title "Unauthorized"))
 (:body
 "You cannot access this page "
 "from your location")))))))))
To see how this example works differently depending on whether the access is through the loopback network or the regular network, try accessing it via http://localhost:8000/local-secret and _URL_ (where we are assuming that you are running on test-franz.com).
Multiple servers
AllegroServe can run multiple independent web servers. Each web server listens for requests on a different port. Because each web server can appear to be serving pages for different hosts (using the virtual host facility already described in the discussion of the publish functions), it is usually not necessary to use the multiple server facility we describe here.
All of the information about a web server, including the entities it serves, are stored in a wserver object. The current wserver object is stored in the variable *wserver*. The publish functions use the value of *wserver* as the default server into which they publish entities.
Debugging a computed response handler
We will describe this in detail when the tutorial is updated. For now read the documentation on net.aserve::debug-on in the AllegroServe manual.
You can't perform that action at this time.

Binding to the Search Start Point
The start point for a search is a container that directly or indirectly contains the objects searched for. The search will not be performed in containers above the search start point. For example, take the following hypothetical directory structure:
Domain A
 Container 1
 Object 1
 Object 2
 Container 2
 Object 3
 Object 4
If a search is performed for all objects and the search start point is "Container 2", only "Object 3" and "Object 4" would be retrieved. If the same search was performed with the search start point at "Container 1", "Object 1" and "Object 2" would be retrieved.
To bind to the search start point, bind to the ADsPath of the container that will be the search start point.

Set Cover Problem (P =?= NP) and the Archetype technique for classification
I have published a heuristic solver for SCP on GitHub and PyPI (you can install it via pip):
_URL_
The paper can be found here: _URL_
The set cover problem (SCP) is one of the open problems in operations research. It has many real-life applications, such as crew-assigning for trains and airlines, fire station/school-location selection, nurse-scheduling etc. As an astronomical application of SCP, I have developed a new Archetype technique for classification purposes.
The SCP can formulated as an integer linear programming problem as follows. There are M rows to be covered and there are N columns to select from (to cover the rows). Let a binary MxN matrix A represent the relation between columns and rows. If a column j covers row i, then a_ij = 1, while a_ij = 0 if otherwise. If the cost of a column j is c_j, the problem is to find a set of columns S with minimal total cost, subject to that all rows must be covered. Formally, the SCP is to find
The problem is notoriously difficult. It is one of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems and therefore has important implications for P =?= NP, one of the seven millennium prize problems.

I have developed a heuristic solver based on Lagrangian relaxation,
_URL_
You can install it through pip:
>> pip install SetCoverPy
For the standard tests (4,5,6, A-G instances from Beasley's OR Library), the code yields a solution that is on average 99% optimal (in terms of the final cost). The code can still be improved and any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Our Service Offerings
Coal Supply and Demand Fundamentals
The FTI Consulting coal model provides full market representation of 37 coalfields and 465 supply tranches. Our experts have conducted market and policy analyses examining impacts to coal production, prices, and consumption for coal producers, grid operators, utilities, and other stakeholders. The model is often used in addressing the challenges of increased coal plant retirements due to competing fuels and stricter emission standards required by EPA regulations.
Environmental and Regulatory Policy
FTI Consulting often deploys its propriety coal model to examine the impact of proposed or current environmental policy on coal markets, including production, prices, and plant economics. By integrating the coal model with its natural gas and electricity models, our team can analyze the impact of policy initiatives – such as the Clean Power Plan or Department of Energy's Grid Resiliency Pricing Rule – on coal markets, as well as the entire U.S. electricity system. This includes electricity prices, emissions, and changes in the electricity sector, such as increased renewable resource development. In fact, we can simultaneously deploy macroeconomic models to further examine the effects of such policies on GDP, labor income, employment, and tax revenue. As such, our ability to model the macroeconomic and energy market effects of public policy helps our clients better understand the impacts of policy changes.
Coal Industry Mergers
FTI Consulting has advised clients on the coal market, including prices, costs, and market competition, when they are facing merger and acquisition, asset divestiture, and plant closure challenges. Specifically, our experts deploy the proprietary coal model to show the effect of a potential merger on coal prices, production, and volumes and ultimately whether the potential merger will adversely impact market competition.

changes the panic value if an actual
 3583 error occurs. However, both the original and new failures will be
 3584 presented in the crash report, so the root cause of the problem will
 3585 still be visible. Thus this simple re-panic approach is usually
 3586 sufficient—it's a crash after all—but if you want to
 3587 display only the original value, you can write a little more code to
 3588 filter unexpected problems and re-panic with the original error.
 3589 That's left as an exercise for the reader.

 3593
A web server

 3594
 3595

 3596 Let's finish with a complete Go program, a web server.
 3597 This one is actually a kind of web re-server.
 3598 Google provides a service at chart.apis.google.com
 3599 that does automatic formatting of data into charts and graphs.
 3600 It's hard to use interactively, though,
 3601 because you need to put the data into the URL as a query.
 3602 The program here provides a nicer interface to one form of data: given a short piece of text,
 3603 it calls on the chart server to produce a QR code, a matrix of boxes that encode the
 3604 text.
 3605 That image can be grabbed with your cell phone's camera and interpreted as,
 3606 for instance, a URL, saving you typing the URL into the phone's tiny keyboard.
 3607

 3608

 3609 Here's the complete program.
 3610 An explanation follows.
 3611

 3612 {{code "/doc/progs/eff_qr.go" '/package/' '$'}}
 3613

 3614 The pieces up to main should be easy to follow.
 3615 The one flag sets a default HTTP port for our server. The template
 3616 variable templ is where the fun happens. It builds an HTML template
 3617 that will be executed by the server to display the page; more about
 3618 that in a moment.
 3619

 3620

 3621 The main function parses the flags and, using the mechanism
 3622 we talked about above, binds the function QR to the root path
 3623 for the server. Then http.ListenAndServe is called to start the
 3624 server; it blocks while the server runs.
 3625

 3626

 3627 QR just receives the request, which contains form data, and
 3628 executes the template on the data in the form value named s.
 3629

 3630

 3631 The template package html/template is powerful;
 3632 this program just touches on its capabilities.
 3633 In essence, it rewrites a piece of HTML text on the fly by substituting elements derived
 3634 from data items passed to templ.Execute, in this case the
 3635 form value.
 3636 Within the template text (templateStr),
 3637 double-brace-delimited pieces denote template actions.
 3638 The piece from {{html "{{if .}}"}}
 3639 to {{html "{{end}}"}} executes only if the value of the current data item, called . (dot),
 3640 is non-empty.
 3641 That is, when the string is empty, this piece of the template is suppressed.
 3642

 3643

 3644 The two snippets {{html "{{.}}"}} say to show the data presented to
 3645 the template—the query string—on the web page.
 3646 The HTML template package automatically provides appropriate escaping so the
 3647 text is safe to display.
 3648

 3649

 3650 The rest of the template string is just the HTML to show when the page loads.
 3651 If this is too quick an explanation, see the documentation
 3652 for the template package for a more thorough discussion.
 3653

 3654

 3655 And there you have it: a useful web server in a few lines of code plus some
 3656 data-driven HTML text.
 3657 Go is powerful enough to make a lot happen in a few lines.
 3658
