Getting Started with UCS Manager
Documentation and Product Information
To begin, download the UCS XML API Programmer's Guide. This guide provides an overview of the UCS, the UCS management information model, the XML API, and contains numerous API examples.
UCS is certified as a platform for leading enterprise applications, virtualization, and operating systems. Cisco UCS Manager is fully interoperable with the major systems management tools commonly found in heterogeneous data centers.
Review the UCS XML API training video for a high level understanding of the API structure, methods and functionality. You can use the UCS Communities to ask and answer questions. You can also search the forums to see if your question was already raised. The UCS blog also contains much useful information provided by expert technical users.
UCS Platform Emulator
The UCS Platform Emulator (UCSPE) was developed to enable the use of Cisco UCS Manager and the UCS XML API without requiring physical hardware. UCSPE significantly shortens the development cycle for applications that are based on the UCS XML API. You can create and test programs using only UCSPE installed on a laptop. UCSPE presents a controlled environment for the following:
- Emulation of large-scale environments
- Changes in the hardware inventory (device discovery)
- Firmware upgrade testing
- Troubleshooting real UCS problems
UCSPE also assists developers to do the following:
- Test UCS XML API requests in lieu of a real server
- Invoke the UCS GUI to become familiar with its usage and features
- Invoke the model object browser and internal documentation
- Provide a convenient way to demonstrate UCS operations for training and other activities
Cisco UCS Platform Emulator is now available for download.
goUCS Automation Tool
goUCS is a toolkit that was created as a proof of concept to show how a UCS systems administrator could easily automate tasks across multiple UCS domains. Since the advent of UCS's singular API, it has been clear to UCS admins the inherent power of being able to utilize and take advantage of this single API for use cases like auto-populating data in a central CMDB with the physical inventory of an entire UCS domain with one query; creating or modifying objects across multiple UCS domains like VLANs, policies, pools, etc.; and gathering data about a specific set of objects across UCS domains. goUCS was designed for a UCS sysadmin as an example of a flexible and extensible command line style interface that provides the basic framework for managing multiple UCS sessions and the communication to and from UCS via the XMLAPI; and parsing and displaying any returned XML data into multiple output formats like CSV, tables, indented hierarchical lists, and raw XML.
Download the goUCS documentation and code!
Third Party Tools For UCS XML Application Development
- Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer that enables a developer to inspect network traffic. For UCS API development, inspecting the traffic going from and returning to the UCS Manager GUI greatly enhances a developers understanding of the UCS API XML messages.
- Firefox Poster is a developer tool for interacting with web services and other web resources that lets you make HTTP requests, set the entity body, and content type. Poster aids developers using UCS API by alleviating the need to create a language dependent HTTP/HTTPS client.
- Third party tools documentation provides explanations and examples of how to use Wireshark and Poster with the UCS API.

Ankle replacement is surgery to replace the damaged bone in the ankle joint. Artificial joint parts (prosthetics ) are used to replace your own bones. There are a number of devices that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in ankle replacement surgery.
Ankle arthroplasty - total; Total ankle arthroplasty; Endoprosthetic ankle replacement; Ankle surgery
Ankle replacement surgery is most often done while you are under general anesthesia . This means you will be asleep and pain-free.
You may have spinal anesthesia. You will be awake but will not feel anything below your waist. If you have spinal anesthesia, you will also be given medicine to help you relax during the operation.
Your surgeon will make a surgical cut in the front of your ankle to expose the ankle joint. Your surgeon will then gently push the tendons, nerves, and blood vessels to the side. After this:
After putting the tendons back into place, the surgeon closes the wound with sutures (stitches). You may need to wear a splint, cast, or brace for a while to keep the ankle from moving.
Ankle replacement surgery may be done if the ankle joint is severely damaged. Your symptoms may be pain and loss of movement of the ankle. Some causes of damage are:
You may not be able to have a total ankle replacement if you have had ankle joint infections in the past.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
Risks for ankle replacement surgery are:
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After surgery, you will most likely need to stay in the hospital for at least one night. You may have received a nerve block that controls pain for the first 12 - 24 hours after surgery.
Your ankle will be in a cast or a splint after surgery. A small tube that helps drain blood from the ankle joint may be left in your ankle for 1 or 2 days. To keep swelling down, keep your foot raised higher than your heart while you are sleeping or resting.
Your doctor may recommend physical therapy to teach you exercises that will help you move more easily.
A successful ankle replacement will likely:
Usually, total ankle replacements last 10 or more years. How long yours lasts will depend on your activity level, overall health, and the amount of damage to your ankle joint before surgery.

Dream of Mirror Online Review
By Cody 'Neramaar' Hargreaves
Surprisingly, I've found that there are very few anime inspired MMORPGs available on the market at the moment. One would think that with the obvious popularity of anime, and the well known connection anime shares with gamers, that there would be a whole lot more. In less than five minutes any anime fan could think of a hundred possible MMO anime adaptations – Pokemon for example, if properly developed, would have the potential to be one of the greatest MMOs ever made. If you've played any of the Gameboy versions of Pokemon, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
Let your imagination run wild and you'll soon be filled with hundreds of possible ideas – from Dragonball Z to Evangelion, Bleach to Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh to Full Metal Alchemist, and beyond. Just between you and me, I've already heard that some of these games may already be in development. With cell-shaded graphics and engaging storylines anime may very well hold a large place in the future of MMOs and games such as DOMO, A.K.A Dream of Mirror Online, give us a small glimpse of what might be ahead.
DOMO, developed by Softstar Entertainment, is the perfect example of an anime style MMO done properly. It does so by combining five key ingredients together in almost perfect unison – Graphics, Story, Innovation, Customization, and Fun. The graphics are no doubt the most noticeable of these features, being both bright and colorful, and beautifully drawn. I have always been a massive fan of the way cell shading can bring an anime to life, and DOMO does just that.
To make a long and fantastic story short, the storyline in DOMO revolves around the balance between two words, the real world and the Mirror World. The Mirror World is supposed to perfectly reflect that found in the real world, but in recent times has been distorted. You have been summoned to the Mirror World by the mirror kings to help save the land and set things straight. The story happily progresses as the game does, and it a wonderful display of storytelling in true anime style.
Innovation? Where to begin? The simple cell-shaded anime themed approach is more than enough for me in these dark times, times that see games of almost exact similarity being released so often. Happily, DOMO takes it a step further and adds some new and exciting features to the mix, such as giving players that work as a team a significant experience gain, or allowing players to level not only their characters, but their weapons too. Developing different types of relationships to enhance your skills, or acquiring a pet to aid you in battle would be a couple more. My favorite though? Well that's easy. 4 Races and 13 Classes is what does it for me.
It's not the amount of race and class options in DOMO that impresses me most either, it's the different types available. While the old favorites are still there, DOMO has also introduced a bunch of new ones – even some from back in the days of the SNES, when RPGs ruled supreme. When it comes to choosing a race, you'll be given choice between Humans, who are the most balanced of the races, the Shura, who focus their talents on strength, the Sylph, a race with significant magical prowess, and the Sprites, who while look small, have more endurance than any other race.
After choosing your class you begin playing in DOMO as a Commoner, a class that while lacks much in the way of combat, makes up for it with a wide range of other abilities. At level 10, players may choose to either stay as a Commoner focusing on different skill sets, or learn the ways of a class that better suits their own unique style. The 13 classes available in DOMO are as follows: Blademaster, Dancer, Doctor, Fencer, Hunter, Martial Artist, Mercenary, Merchant, Musician, Shaman, Thief, Witch Doctor, and Wizard. If you can't find something there that suits your style, then there is simply no pleasing you, because the line-up in DOMO Is quite frankly the best I've seen in a very long time.
What was that last part again? Oh, right. Fun DOMO has fun in spades with a stack of impressive features spread throughout the game. Players will have access to special in-game relationships such as friends or lovers that allow access to special skills, can fly through the air atop magical swords and brooms, join guilds, craft items, weapons and armor – there's a lot to do in DOMO, and almost all of it is fun.
Final Verdict: Great
No matter which way you slice it, DOMO is lot of fun from beginning to end. It provides both innovative and unique gameplay to all avenues of the game, and with 4 race and 13 class choices, guarantees that every player will find their own niche, and have a lot of fun in the process.

The US and LHC Computing
To handle this immense computing load, CERN works with groups worldwide to construct the computing system for the LHC. A key component of this system is a worldwide grid for LHC computing, the requirements for which have been driving the development of grid computing for the past decade. Eighteen U.S. institutions participate in the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid.
The US contributes to LHC computing in many ways. The US provides large amounts of tape, disk and processing capacity for the storage and analysis of acquired and simulated LHC data. High-speed 10-gigabit networks enable round-the-clock distribution of data in real time from CERN to two "Tier-1" computing facilities at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois and Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York. The data is further distributed to "Tier-2" and "Tier-3" computer centers across the country via the ESnet and Internet2 networking projects. It is at the Tier-2 and Tier-3 centers where physicists analyze data leading to LHC discoveries.
The US contributes 34 percent of the worldwide computing capacity for the ATLAS experiment, and more than 53 percent of the capacity for the CMS experiment. The ATLAS Tier-1 center at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the CMS Tier-1 center at Fermilab combine to provide more than 13.7 petabytes of data storage and 175,000 hours per day of computation time. The Tier-2 centers, which include participation from fifteen universities and one national laboratory, together offer more than three petabytes of data storage and 283,000 hours per day of computing capacity for ATLAS and CMS simulation and analysis.
Scientists from the US ATLAS and US CMS software and computing projects make significant contributions to the software used to distribute and manage the data and computation needed by the experiments, as well as to the physics software through which researchers discover new fundamental properties of the universe.
The Open Science Grid and the LHC
The Open Science Grid is a distributed computing infrastructure for large-scale scientific research. The OSG contributes to the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid as the shared distributed computing facility used by the ATLAS and CMS experiments.
The OSG is built and operated by a consortium of 90 universities, national laboratories, scientific collaborations and software developers. It is supported by the National Science Foundation and the US Department of Energy Office of Science. The OSG supports not only physics experiments but also researchers from other fields, including astrophysics, bioinformatics and computer science. Currently the OSG has more than 70 sites in the US and sites in Brazil, Taiwan, Colombia, China, Italy and Mexico.
All LHC computing and storage sites in the US are members of the OSG and allow other scientific collaborations using the OSG to opportunistically use available resources. The OSG collaborates with the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE project in Europe to provide interoperating federated infrastructures which can be used transparently by the LHC experiments' software. In 2006-2007 OSG provided ATLAS and CMS with 30 percent of total processing cycles and moved more than 100 terabytes of data across seven sites.

High school notebook: Noble boys hoop on the right track
Thursday, January 10, 2013
NORTH BERWICK, Maine — The Noble High School boys basketball team isn't exactly tearing up Western Maine Class A, and the Knights know it.
"Everybody is more accountable for themselves," said Kimber, who had previous stints as an assistant coach at Portsmouth and Epping. "They play as a team and they play for each other. Losing programs, they usually don't play for each other. They point fingers. That's what we've tried to emphasize this year, to be more of a team-oriented team."
In addition to Della-Piana, Waterman has been a big scorer for the Knights. He scored 11 against Massabesic and 21 in a 43-40 win over Westbrook on Dec. 28. Junior guard Sean Jackson also has a nose for the basket.
"My sophomore and junior years, I started for teams that didn't plan to win," he said. "This year, we come into games planning to win, and it's really a fun thing."

You tell me, you're the one trolling these posts.
I've already told you that there are differences. Your inability to connect the dots has lead you to failing to realize that both of these bills will be combined and a combination of both will go before the President for his signature.
Are you going to admit that you're a troll? A troll that goes around these blogs and bill posts leaving no doubt in the rest of our minds as to the true depths of your utter ignorance?

You are helping to propogate the H1N1 "urgency". Have you not read all the actual research on the fact that vaccines no not work anyway? It is a ploy to instill fear in the public in order that they can take more control over our lives! See this (http://www.naturalnews.com/027364_internet_pandemic_traffic.html) If we all beleive that they will take care of us, then we will allow them to do it. More than 36,000 people die every year from the seansonal flu. Why the call for a "National Emergency" for this particular strand? The second leading cause of death in America today is perscription drugs! Do more research and wake up.
- desolation_anonymous 11/02/2009 7:11am
You are the one who doesn't have the facts, H1N1 is MUCH worse than seasonal flu. Try going to actual sources and statistics, say from the National Library of Medicine or the CDC… natural news is not an actual news source…
1) H1N1 infects deep in the lungs which seasonal flu does NOT http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090910083915.htm
2) H1N1 has already killed over 90 children. Seasonal flu kills at max 88. 74 have died since they just 'reset' the clock in August, 19 http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm#MS
3) Seasonal flu usually only kills elderly and immune compromised. This flu is killing young people, and middle-aged people, many previously healthy
4) When it comes down to it, H1N1 will end up claiming many more lives than seasonal flu. It is foolish to compare a year of a disease course with a disease that just emerged a few months ago. I'll be happy if you were right, but sadly I fear you'll be eating your words by next April.
- desolation_anonymous 11/02/2009 7:15am
Also, natural news is NOT a news source. I'm not arguing that vaccines could, sometimes have bad side effects, but most of the time they are effective in preventing disease.
Vaccines are effective in most that have them, IF the shot is a good match. Seasonal flu prevents it 70-90% of the time when there is a good match. http://www.cdc.gov/Flu/about/qa/flushot.htm
Why, do you think, do we not have Smallpox anymore? It didn't just peter out on it's own… Do you think it would have been better to let 1/3 of people who get a disease die, or be scarred for life (like smallpox did…)?
Your third point about H1N1 killing young and middle aged healthy people, you need to cite a source on that one. Every one of the articles I've read regarding to H1N1 (and I've read ALOT trying to determine if I want my kids to get the vaccination or not) has stated that most of the fatalities has been in people with underlying respritory conditions.

Swine flu has killed at least 114 U.S. children according to the latest figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Nineteen swine flu-related pediatric deaths were reported this week, the agency stated Friday in announcing the worst week to date since the outbreak began in April.
More deaths are likely but not confirmed, the agency's chief Thomas R. Frieden said. About two-thirds of the childhood deaths are among children with other health problems.
Here's what's different about swine flu, however: "In a usual flu season, 90 percent of the deaths are among people over the age of 65. In H1N1, 90 percent of the deaths are in people under the age of 65," Frieden said.
- desolation_anonymous 11/04/2009 3:42pm
OK. No problem. I can give you more, if you want. I've been doing lots of research on it myself.
Here is one from WHO (World Health Organization)
"many severe cases occur in previously healthy young people. In these patients, predisposing factors that increase the risk of severe illness are not presently understood, though research is under way.
In severe cases, patients generally begin to deteriorate around 3 to 5 days after symptom onset. Deterioration is rapid, with many patients progressing to respiratory failure within 24 hours…"
By the way NINETEEN pediatric H1N1 deaths just last week in the US. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/
- desolation_anonymous 11/04/2009 3:55pm
Here is something from the CDC, talking about risks for asthma… but see statistics below..
"the percentage of 2009 H1N1 related deaths that occurred among people 0 years to 4 years was 3%; among those 5 years to 18 years was 14%; among people 19 to 24 years was 7%; among people 25 to 49 years was 33%; among people 50-64 years was 32%; and among people 65 years and older was 12%"
ON seasonal fluSo…. seasonal flu… 90% of deaths in over 65. H1N1… 88 percent of deaths are in those under 65.
"How does 2009 H1N1 flu compare to seasonal flu in terms of its severity and infection rates?"
…"Over 90% of deaths and about 60 percent of hospitalization occur in people older than 65.:
Does it really matter how many had 'underlying conditions'… still about 30% DON'T, and these people are not usually dying at these rates with seasonal flu…
- desolation_anonymous 11/06/2009 11:49am
Also, please read today's press briefing from the CDC
". More than half the hospitalizations are in people under 25. 90% of the deaths are in people under 65. A flip-flop from what we see with seasonal flu. The pediatric deaths are high. Children have died from flu where the typing wasn't done, but that's an increase from last week's number. Two-thirds of the children who died from the H1N1 virus have underlying condition that is increase their risk of this problem. "
That means 1/3 of the kids who died had NO UNDERLYING CONDITION.
- Betonavette 10/31/2009 6:47am
It is my belief that this Healthcare bill is a somke screen used by the Obama administration to bring socialism to this country. Period!
- TSpringer59 10/31/2009 11:09am
Unfortunately it is not a smokescreen. It is part of the plan!
- TSpringer59 10/31/2009 11:07am
Regardless of the "contents" of this, or any other proposed legislation, is there no thought given to WHY IS THIS SO URGENT? Any legislation that is this important, and this highly debated, should not be rushed (remember the last few times there was and "urgent" need?). No plan is a noble plan if it cannot stand the test of thoughtful reflection without urgency! In fact, the actions of the elected are the opposite of noble. The elected continue to demonstrate they are not using an ounce of integrity with respect to the process or the fiscal accountability for their actions. I will answer this recklessness in the upcoming elections. I hope you all will too. Because, regardless of what the bill is supposed to accomplish, it will be forever tainted by the process that was used to pass it.
- desolation_anonymous 11/02/2009 7:28am
No disagreement with you here.
if every individual would have to shop for their own insurance instead of employers – the market would become client driven – instead of today's market were people at the corporate and government level get wined and dined and lobbied and the incentive to create a cost effective health care system is mismanaged. The government has proven that it can not perform tasks of this magnitude. The health care bill should be that of privatizing the monolithic money black holes it now has responsibility of managing. It could be called the health care stewardship bill.
Filtered Comment [ show ]
I've read your words and at the end the question that stands out in my mind is, "When did you sonni43 ever read the Holy Bible?" It is in my thoughts that liberals like you use the Bible the same as they do the United States Constitution and that is it's a growing, living document that changes with society and the feelings of the day. HR 3962 is an unpopular and a costly power grab by the Democrat President and the Congress. The facts are HR 3962 will be found un-constitutional by the high court. Just look what your OBAMA government has done for the Native Americans who turn to government for their health care. It is the worst health care in the USA. They run out of money in June. DO NOT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT WITH YOUR HEALTH CARE. JUST-SAY-NO TO HR-3962
Finally someone in this comment list with some sense and grace! These people need to realize they are already paying for the people that don't have healthcare. I have a family member that has racked up thousands in ER visits because she knows they won't turn her away for treatment (she has a few chronic conditions) even though she can't pay the bill. She can't go to a regular office, because she can't pay, so the ER is her regular doctor. Wouldn't it make sense to have a public option where people are contributing to say, a hundred dollar office visit, than to keep paying for a two thousand dollar ER visit for a sugar check? When the ER (or any other hospital bill) isn't paid, the facility eats the cost, raises their fees and in return your insurance raises their fees……….
So I guess all of you against the bill want to keep paying our ER fees? Not very smart if you ask me.
- cwhiteside 11/01/2009 3:52pm
If insurance companies could sell across state lines — wouldn't that lead to larger companies being dominant? Maybe getting "too big to fail"? Also insurance regulation is set up at the state level. If companies go national, the federal government would have to be the regulator — isn't that more "big government"?

Henk Savelberg has the distinction of having won a Michelin star in four different restaurants across the Netherlands. He has been running his eponymous restaurant in Voorburg since 1999.
I come from a mining family from the Dutch province of Limburg. It was after completing my military service in the navy that I discovered the restaurant business, in France and the Netherlands. Today I live in The Hague, just a few kilometres from my restaurant. This allows me to enjoy the city, the North Sea and the countryside too. This closeness to nature is something that nearly all people in the Netherlands enjoy in their everyday lives, making the most of every moment to walk or cycle along the canals, the polders or the backstreets of the towns, which even today call to mind the Golden Age.

The Made of Honor star flew to the Far East with her boyfriend to ring in 2013, but things went horribly wrong on a boat cruise of Victoria Harbour, and, as the fireworks lit up the night sky, she began throwing up.
She tells U.S. TV host Jay Leno, "We were out on this boat for New Year's, there was like all these fireworks and it was on the harbour... He (boyfriend) had a lot of his very good friends there that gave us (girls) these big jackets and I feel like the first thing you do when someone gives you a jacket is you put your hands in the pockets to see if there's any money in it. Any loose change or any clues.
"So I just put my hands in the pockets and I pull out these four clear, cellophane packets full of, like, brown granules... This was, like, some health food guy, or something... So I'm thinking its brown sugar... therefore I need to eat it... Turns out it was cumin salt.
"I took it and I just instantly started screaming. I threw my body over the side of the boat... I started crying, snot was coming out of my nose... My entire brain essentially exploded... It's like eating fire."

Technical Info
Why Buy From Us
4.0 GHz Bug Detector; with Precision Bar-Graph Colour Display
The Pro 1206i is a professional hand-held RF bug detector which effectively locates hidden transmitting devices operating between 50 MHz to 4.0 GHz frequencies. Using advanced digital technology, this device sweeps for specific transmitters including GSM audio, UHF / VHF and FM carriers, and other types of overt / covert transmitting devices which can interrogate your privacy.
Unlike most typical searching devices, the Pro 1206i can detect modern 'hidden bugs' which use Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi protocols which are practically undetectable by common RF detectors due to their very low transmission power and special type of modulation. The Pro 1206i also uses a separate channel to the 50 - 4000 MHz antenna - a high (2.44 GHz) frequency pre-selector to detect and locate such devices at a much higher sensitivity.
In addition, the unit can detect all types of 'conventional' bugging devices (GSM audio bugs, FM modulated transmitters, digital transmitters etc).
The unit incorporates multi-channel LED bar-graphs to indicate each transmitters signal strength and then omits an audio tone - thus enabling you to locate the transmitter.
GSM bugs including hidden audio, alarms, PIR sensors, and spy phones
Wireless video cameras
Bluetooth bugging devices
Wi-Fi bugging devices
A low battery indicator will alert you to ensure that you are never searching for bugs without maximum performance.
The detector can be used to scan a room before sensitive meetings or check for unauthorised 'planted' equipment within the grounds of offices, prisons or hospitals for example.
This professional RF detector is a great investment to help protect your premises against unlawful intervention of your personal and business equipment.

Dropian QML Dropbox Client for Symbian - app showcase
(Chintandave er - resized all images in gallary tag)
m (moved Dropian to Dropian - QML Dropbox Client: made title user friendly , so any user can easily get what this article about from Wiki Title)
Revision as of 07:25, 6 March 2012
Note: This is an entry in the Symbian Qt Quick Components Competition 2012Q1
IntroductionDropian is a fully functional Dropbox client. It caches your files and folder using a secure database and minimizes bandwidth completely.
You can move, copy, delete, rename, download and upload single or multiple files at the same time. Dropian works with the new Dropbox API v1 enabling sharing files or folders with your friends via SMS or e-mail and searching your Dropbox for wanted files as well. You can restore previous versions or stream your files from your Dropbox onto your device.
Older application versions were based on QWidget and compiled on various Qt releases, depending on targeted platform in range from 4.6 to 4.7. Only recently, with latest available Dropian version, user interface was ported to use only Qt Quick Components for Symbian.
A complex application like Dropian is based on PageStackWindow. Out of total eleven, three pages are statically created every time application is run. These are always available on the stack, while eight other pages are created and managed dynamically on demand.
Upon finished installation and first run, user is presented with a WebView loading a Dropbox Authorization web endpoint. This is the one and only time user is asked to input its personal data. Dropbox handles username and password over a secure connection and usual OAuth authorization flow continues. Authentication is finished once a token is acquired and users file list is loaded and presented. No personal data has been saved and all tokens are encrypted and stored in a protected database. Every time application has information to display, InfoBanner is used from Extras Components library.
File list page is one of the static pages and it is the most important page in Dropian. Users will spend most of their time using the application in this view. There is more to this page than it meets the eye. Basic structure is displayed in the following picture:
Starting from the top StatusBar is provided by operating system and always visible and interactive. There is not much here to discuss as this area has not been exploited yet. Provides consistent native look and feel at the moment.
TopBar is a creation of mine in order to extend functionalities of ToolBar Component, reduce menus in size and quantity and still obey Symbian design guidelines. Every single pixel is interactive depending on which section of the application is currently active. Black icons on the left and right are actually buttons. Left one will always take you into root directory and the right one changes its purpose when needed, from a closing button to opening search dialog, which is also embedded in this custom made component. Space in between shows current directory path and once clicked it positions ListView to its beginning. This is provided by using Label component and a MouseArea.
ListView itself is simple and is used as it is without any special modifications. However, item delegate is quite complex. Same delegate is used for displaying different data depending on the item being a directory or a file. This delegate is also another custom component tailored to my special needs out of plain QML elements like MouseArea, Rectangle, Image and Text, then modified with various anchor, size, opacity and other properties. There is a lot of manipulation done by expressions before displaying the model to the list, in a graphical manner speaking.
A slight difficulty that is hidden or not easily recognized is the so called MoreIndicator arrow placed on the right side of delegates when presenting a directory. I wanted to maintain a visual identity on both Harmattan and Symbian platforms. As this is a Harmattan Qt Quick Component and as such is not provided for Symbian, I took the liberty to peek into its source code and duplicate it for Symbian as my own custom component. Ironically, at that moment, MoreIndicator had a bug of not displaying properly on Harmattan, so I ended up manufacturing my own component with a few added properties for both platforms. Let's call it an upgraded cloned component.
The word squircle is a portmanteau of the words "square" and "circle". Just as same as application name Dropian is derived from Dropbox for Symbian. The same rule was applied for iconography. Application icon was designed by @boroda1 representing drops and droplets of bytes coming together into one main, bigger drop. Directory and file type icons were based on existing guideline templates but heavily modified to fit nicely together with the rest of the application.
Lastly, it's worth mentioning a few details about ToolBar. With only 3 static pages out of 11, I decided to provide each page with its own ToolBarLayout and ToolButton set. Not to be misunderstood, every dynamically created page has its own ToolBar aswell. Presented in the picture above you can see, from left to right, an exit button, go to transfers page button and open file browser button. Button on far right triggers application main menu. Many details will be revealed about each shortly.
Exit button is displayed only in root directory. While inside any other users Dropbox directory it is shown as a back arrow and provides a way to go up one directory all the way straight to root directory. Frankly, I'm not sure that this is 100% in accord to guidelines but I do not intend to change it because I was approached by many people requesting a firm differentiation of root directory and all the rest. I can only guess they didn't want to click themselves out of the application mindlessly.
There is a hidden gem here. Well, hidden most of the time. There is no standard component to use in order to achieve pull to refresh contents of your list behavior. Personally, I wasn't impressed by examples found and seen. Simply rotating an image of an arrow is not satisfactory. Finally, I devised a way, purely made in QML code, without any images to do so. With a lot of code I can show the user how much more to pull is left by filling up a circular shaped Rectangle and what to do when user pulled enough. Works quite intuitive but is yet far from perfection.
Accessed by clicking on second tool button from the left, represented by up and down arrow icon in file list toolbar, transfers page is not much different than the file list page. Made from ListView, and again, with a custom item delegate, it provides quick access of files being downloaded or uploaded. Transfers, meaning downloads and uploads from and to Dropbox, are the only part of application that needed a Qt layer underneath Qt Quick Components to be done properly. Numerous facts and situations had to be addressed while making the user interface as smooth as it can be. Multiple files can be transferred at once. At this moment, files are transferred in queue and not parallel, all at once. Main reason for this decision was to ensure data is transferred without any loses or corruption. Parallel transfers are under development with main goal to increase speed and even maybe implement true syncing thus taking Dropbox API to its maximum potential. It is important to say here that transfers are not being logged in any way by Dropian due to the fact it might pose as a privacy intrusion of users activity. What this means is that every time you start Dropian, your Transfers will be blank and initialized.
Item delegate has 3 main states: queued, downloading or uploading, all combined into one single custom made component with an ability to transform itself into any state. While an item is in queued mode a static, non running, BusyIndicator is shown instead of the green download or blue upload icon. In this state, if user interacts by clicking, he gets presented with a dialog of canceling the transfer in progress. Once the transfer commits, BusyIndicator starts running, a ProgressBar fills up according to percentage of data transferred. Upon completion, BusyIndicator is stopped and hidden, transfer icon is shown accompanied with file metadata information and a timestamp of finalizing the transfer. Simplistic InfoBanner with item name will inform the user of download or upload being finished. Clicking on transfer item in this final state directly prompts the system and opens the file itself.
Once again, I stress out, transfers are not logged and they will populate the list only for a valid Dropian session currently in use.
Back in the day when QWidget was cool there was a class known as QFileDialog which provided a way to connect to native filesystem on Symbian and get a path of a file when requested. Early versions of Dropian used that class but it was abandoned after multiple incoming bug reports strictly tied up to QFileDialog and its erratic behavior. Not to mention inability to provide a flexible list for multiple paths that can be modified at any time by user. Dropian took the hard way out of this situation. Sturdy skeletal construction was developed from scratch to incorporate a basic way of accessing Symbian filesystem and provide multiple paths for upload.
Mystical folder icon in file list toolbar grants the user access to device filesystem without him or her forcing to minimize or close the application. The fastest models and delegates were constructed to achieve instant access and avoid out of memory errors. Another ListView, another typically designed item delegate and standard rules of page hierarchy and behavior are applied here. Unusual detail about this page becomes evident once Dropian has been started. This page does not populate its ListView until user itself demands it. One could call this a placeholder mimic when talking about pages and stacks. Reason for precaution like this lies in the fact that no developer can predict what user actually has on its filesystem. Certain inconveniences might prolong booting time to unacceptable heights.
Looking at the toolbar you can see a Home icon and obvious Upload selected items icon. Upload is self explanatory while Home needs a story to back it up. Home button takes you straight to "C:\Data\". This is a home directory of device end user as far as Qt is concerned. While drafting the code for file manager, I personally needed a fast way to get into C: drive and it was accomplished like this. My residual developer leftover was quickly adopted by end users. Sometimes features happen accidentally.
Coming along slowly but thoroughly, we come to the juicy stuff. I will admit that at the current state Dropian suffers from a mild case of menunitis. ContextMenu is overused and filled with various commands, sub-menus and quick toggles, all presented by plain MenuItem. Before I digress into specifics, I must share a very hilarious observation here. A very large group of users approached and asked why did I deprecated Settings or Thumbnails. After some online debugging and general confusion, cause of the problem was found. When given a large menu with rich features, users of Qt Quick Components are not accustomed to scrolling inside the menu. I can't say it's an excuse because menus in Symbian are scrollable since the old days of Series 60. Nowadays, in modern and more fluid graphic interfaces some do not expect it to work. So, please, scroll your menus. Explore the hidden treasures there.
In order to avoid confusion and hard time following the rest of the article, here is a simple schematics of main application menu:
Every MenuItem has a specific action. Explanations follow going from top to bottom as presented in the schematics.
Show deleted items dynamically changes to Hide deleted items. On top of that, it unveils hidden items in file list or hides them respectively. Basically, that is all it does. Deleted items have opacity reduced by 50% to distinguish themselves. Shame that Dropbox didn't provide a way to undelete files, but I like to be prepared. Dropbox keeps your deleted files for 30 days after deletion so this might be useful for someone who just wants to check it out.
Create new opens a submenu offering to create a new Note, Photo or a Folder.
Note editor is quite simple. TextArea is used to provide basic text input and editing. No HTML is supported at this point. Text editing actions like cut, copy, paste and rest are provided by component itself so there was nothing extraordinary that had to be done. It is a pretty complete and standalone component. When you are done making a short note, pressing the tick icon will prompt the user for a name. Input field for the name can be left blank and generic name for a note will be chosen and note itself will go into upload queue to its final destination into the current directory in the cloud.
Creating new folders required a dialog that was not provided from any components libraries. Simple as it is, it was made out of three parts. Dialog was used as a base, TextInput for user interaction but controlled with a regular expression for unwanted characters and then couple of plain Buttons for actual commands. This invention of InputDialog will be used in variety of other features in Dropian. It has proven itself to work and adjust against any problems opposed.
You might notice there is no screenshot or description of how to create a new Photo. Answer to this question is trivial, but was not trivial to code. I tried out some example code snippets floating around on how Qt handles Symbian camera. I didn't like the design nor the effort that was needed to make it work top notch. In this case I had to reach deep in the bag of magic tricks. Solution was partly done in Symbian C++. From end user perspective this is as good as it gets. Clicking on Photo MenuItem native camera application on Symbian is triggered. A single shot mode is enabled, and at this point Symbian takes over control, calculates and allocates optimal resolution depending on your free memory available. I have never seen this go under 3 megapixels and it goes up as high as your maximum camera resolution goes. Observing some other applications, I noticed that they all set the lowest possible resolution to make sure it actually works. Dropian provides maximum quality available from the system on demand. After a successful photo shoot, picture is uploaded to the current folder in users Dropbox. Native camera application shuts down and user is brought back to Dropian seamlessly.
Download items provides a way to do multiple file downloads. Files only are supported because there is no way to predict how deep a recursive loop would go in case of directories. Eventually, it would lead to a very cumbersome and resource demanding loop that would end up in application lock down. When Dropbox service has an elegant way of downloading, or uploading, directories it will be enabled. This state of multiple choice has its own toolbar with 2 buttons which is dynamically applied when called for.
Sharing multiple links is done in two steps. Files or directories can be shared. Once picked, a request to generate a shortened link is sent to the server. With server response a SelectionDialog is shown with 3 or 4 options. In Dropian free version user can copy the link to system clipboard and paste it anywhere and in any application, send an SMS or an e-mail with his generated links. Paid version of Dropian, however, in addition to all 3 options previously mentioned, can generate a list of QR codes for direct exchange of links without any bandwidth usage. By choosing SMS or e-mail option, default Symbian applications are opened filled with previously formatted links.
Edit items triggers a sub-menu for moving, copying or deleting multiple items at once. Move and Copy are a 3 step processes, while Delete is only a 2 step process. They all start by picking the items on which operation will be performed. When selection is over, a custom and complex dialog is shown, listing only possible target directories. MoveCopyDialog is made out of Dialog component, ListView and 2 Buttons. Seems very simple and user friendly but underneath it is highly refined and very devious. ListView is populated with directories only, but Dropian database is filled with complete file list provided by server, including both file and directory entries. In short, Dropian caches your Dropbox not only while you roam through it, but even when you perform file operations like move or copy. Working like this, Dropian learns extremely fast and saves data traffic. Right button inside the MoveCopyDialog changes its value depending if your target directory is the root one or other. If it is the root you can cancel and close the dialog, otherwise you can go back up one directory and close the dialog any time by standard dialog close button located in top right corner. Deleting of multiple items prompts the user for confirmation to avoid accidents and unwanted data loss. It is handled with an out of the box QueryDialog.
Thumbnails MenuItem is visible only if at least 1 file in the current directory can be used to generate a thumbnail. If there are none, item is hidden in the menu. There is no maximum number limit of thumbnails that can be generated and displayed. Clicking on this will collect necessary paths for thumbnail generation and create a thumbnail page. Thumbnails can be displayed in 3 sizes; small, medium and large. They are cached locally on the filesystem and if found, no request will be made to generate again. Cache can be cleared from Settings page at any moment user desires. A fancy animation mimicking behavior of Windows Phone 7 tiles is entertaining the user while thumbnails are generated and downloaded from the server.
Clicking on a thumbnail opens another custom Dialog mashed up from Dialog, Image and ListView components. This ThumbnailDialog offers users to Reload the thumbnail, Download the actual picture and send it via MMS or e-mail. Sending options open default native applications with media attached. User is left to choose the recipient and edit the rest of the MMS or e-mail freely.
At last, the last entry in main menu is Settings. A click creates a Settings page, a playground for user information and application tweaking. Label is the dominant component here, although there are some very different but standard components too. Page is divided into sections by custom Rectangles made to look and feel like the TopBar. Among Labels and Buttons there is an interesting Slider for choosing thumbnail size. Depending on one of the three possible positions, it will highlight the according label beneath it. Besides viewing his storage information, download target folder and other info, user can toggle the theme between default Dark and fancy Light one. Toolbar icon with Dropian logo creates the About page which contains a brief description, people and brands that helped or in any significant way influenced development.
All of the above dialogs, components, file manipulation actions were described for multiple items at once. Naturally, all the methods shown above work for a single item too. Single item menu has some additional features depending on mime type or origin of the item. No matter if it is a file or directory, MenuItems are dynamically shown and hidden in the ContextMenu. Extra actions are Preview, Previous versions and Thumbnail. In that order, Preview will open any image, audio, video or text file in default browser, Previous versions creates another page, where user can simply restore any revision of file selected and Thumbnail opens a ThumbnailDialog previously introduced. In some future update, plan is to gradually implement dedicated image, video and audio handlers. For example, MeeGo browser cannot stream audio, but opens the rest just fine. Symbian browser, in the other hand, doesn't like audio at all and has some problems with streaming video mime types. PDF and text viewers are also in the pipeline. Revision page is made out of ListView populated with file versions as one would expect.
Last, but not the least, there should be a paragraph about how can you perform a Search in Dropian. There are 2 ways to do that depending of the scope of your search. User can search only inside the current folder for a certain expression in the file name. Hits are shown, while the rest of items are hidden. Another way is to perform a thorough search of users' entire Dropbox, starting from root directory. Results are displayed in a specially created page, divided in sections. Section delegate is a simple Rectangle with Text. Results are sorted in a very strict and logical way. Every operation available upon the item in Search page is the same as in the main file list. Once you find what you are looking for, you can immediately do with it whatever you wish, just like you were browsing from the main file list.
Everything already mentioned and written is available for free. Additional features, to whom they are worth, are available for the smallest possible price from Nokia Store. Buyer can record and upload audio notes, generate QR codes out of links and password protect access to Dropian and Dropbox. Audio notes recorder is attached to default device microphone. Symbian doesn't allow anything but exclusive mode so graphics are simplified, while MeeGo has no problem of changing the height of colored part of microphone when sound pressure level changes.
QR codes can be generated from any links inside the application. They are made variable, meaning that the shorter link will have lower version QR code. Error correction level is set to Quality. Maximum version of QR code is set to level 10 , anything above is not really readable by phone cameras. Making QR codes minimize their version depending on link length in bits is done solely to make it possible to share and read QR codes even by EDoF camera devices. Multiple QR codes can be generated and this is done with help of WorkerScript. Generating QR codes of high version level can block user interface and this had to be done in a different thread like this. Once multiple codes are generated, they are displayed in a dialog within a ListView.
Protecting unwanted access is done from Settings page. A strength meter is applied and each character entered has its weight calculated. An unlock dialog is shown every time application window goes into deactivated state, no matter what the cause was.
Updates will bring even more features and adequate pricing. Once an update is pushed out, fixes for bugs and possible issues will be applied to the free version but with omitted features. Dropian has come a long way in both functionality and design. I'm sure it can be improved a lot more. Luckily, people that use Dropian approach me with requests, ideas, bug reports and a lot more. Long list of wishes is then produced into code to be used by many others.
Being around for almost 2 years, I can only say that porting Dropian to Qt Quick Components was a smart decision. February alone, when the first Qt Quick Components release went out, is entitled for one third or downloads in 2 years total.
Available both for Symbian and MeeGo devices, Dropian can exclusively be downloaded from Nokia Store.

Police: Lee man threatened to shoot officer in the head
Tuesday, March 5, 2013
LEE — Court documents are shedding new light on the circumstances that led police to open fire on a Lee man outside his home late last year.
That story appears to counter information provided by Amazeen's public defender, Joachim Barth. In court documents, Barth wrote that Amazeen's handgun was tucked into a holster when police located him on the road.
Amazeen was treated at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital after the shooting. He has since recovered, and he was released into the custody of a brother while he awaits trial on charges of reckless conduct and criminal threatening.
Lethal force investigation continues
In addition to the criminal charges pending against Amazeen, the attorney general's office is conducting a separate investigation into the use of lethal force by the police officers at the scene.
Criminal case pending in Strafford County
The Strafford County Attorney's office has been tasked with bringing charges against Amazeen.
