2 Structures

2.1 Compound File Sector Numbers and Types

Each sector, except for the header, is identified by a nonnegative, 32-bit sector number. The following sector numbers above 0xFFFFFFFA are reserved and MUST NOT be used to identify the location of a sector in a compound file.

Followings are definitions of SectIDs:

#define SID_MAXREG (0xfffffffa)

#define SID_FUTURE  ((SectID)(SID_MAXREG + 1))

#define SID_MSAT_SECTOR ((SectID)(SID_MAXREG + 2))

#define SID_SAT_SECTOR ((SectID)(SID_MAXREG + 3))

#define SID_END_OF_CHAIN    ((SectID)(SID_MAXREG + 4))

#define SID_UNUSED_SECTOR ((SectID)(SID_MAXREG + 5))

/*
[MS-CFB] or [MS-CFB] errata 2.9 Compound File Size Limits:
...4,096 bytes/sector x MAXREGSECT (0xFFFFFFFA) sectors...
so SID_MAXREG is also a special ID.
*/
#define SID_IS_SPECIAL(sid) ((SectID)(sid) >= SID_MAXREG)

The following list contains the types of sectors that are allowed in a compound file:

Header: A single sector with fields that are needed to read the other structures of the compound file.For version 4 compound files, the header size (512 bytes) is less than the sector size (4,096 bytes), so the remaining part of the header (3,584 bytes) MUST be filled with all zeroes. We can take head_size as equals with sect_size.

FAT: Sector Allocation Table(OpenOffice: SAT).

DIFAT: Used to locate FAT sectors in the compound file(OpenOffice: MSAT).

Mini FAT: FAT for short streams(OpenOffice: SSAT).

Directory:
User-defined Data:
Unallocated Free:

Range Lock:A single sector that is used to manage concurrent access to the compound file. This sector must cover file offset 0x7FFFFFFF(OpenOffice:Not used).

2.6 Compound File Directory Sectors

2.6.1 Compound File Directory Entry

The valid values for a stream ID, which are used in the Child ID, Right Sibling ID, and Left Sibling ID fields, are 0 through MAXREGSID (excluding).

Directory Entry Name (64 bytes):
storage and stream names are limited to 32 UTF-16 code points, including the terminating null character. When locating an object in the compound file except for the root storage, the directory entry name is compared by using a special case-insensitive uppercase mapping, described in Red-Black Tree. The following characters are illegal and MUST NOT be part of the name: '/', '\', ':', '!'.

Directory Entry Name Length (2 bytes):
This field MUST match the length of the Directory Entry Name Unicode string in bytes. The length MUST be a multiple of 2 and include the terminating null character in the count.
A secured parser shall not use this field.

Object Type (offset 66, 0x42): This field MUST be 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, or 0x05, depending on the actual type of object. All other values are not valid: 0 for Unknown or unallocated; 1 for Storage Object; 2 for Stream Object; 5 for Root Storage Object. 

Color Flag (offset 67, 0x43): This field MUST be 0x00 (red) or 0x01 (black). 

Left Sibling ID(offset 68, 0x44): This field contains the stream ID of the left sibling. If there is no left sibling, the field MUST be set to NOSTREAM (0xFFFFFFFF).

Right Sibling ID (offset 72, 0x48): 

Child ID (offset 76, 0x4C): This field contains the stream ID of a child object. If there is no child object, the field MUST be set to NOSTREAM (0xFFFFFFFF). 

CLSID (offset 80, 0x50): This field contains an object class GUID(can be used as a parameter to start applications.), if this entry is a storage or root storage. If no object class GUID is set on this object, the field MUST be set to all zeroes. 

State Bits (offset 96, 0x60): This field contains the user-defined flags if this entry is a storage object or root storage object. If no state bits are set on the object, this field MUST be set to all zeroes. 

Creation Time(8 bytes):Modified Time (8 bytes): 

Starting Sector Location (offset 116, 0x74): This field contains the first sector location if this is a stream object. For a root storage object, this field MUST contain the first sector of the mini stream, if the mini stream exists.

Stream Size (8 bytes): Streams whose size is less than the Cutoff value exist in the mini stream. Parsers must trust Stream Size to decide it's mini or standard stream,
while maintains a size telling the size figured out through sector chain of this stream.

2.6.4 Red-Black Tree

According rbtree, followings are true:

The root storage object MUST always be black. 
wo consecutive nodes MUST NOT both be red.(if one node is red, it's left/right must be black)
The left sibling MUST always be less than the right sibling. (root object has const name, its name don't compare; root object has no left and right)

This sorting relationship is defined as follows:

A node that has a shorter name is less than a node that has a longer name. 

For each UTF-16 code point, convert to uppercase by using the Unicode Default 
Case Conversion Algorithm

review_RRSP_deduction_of_TaxYear2014

How to check if your RRSP contributions deducted from your income? This article discuss it with example of tax year 2014.

As we know, RRSP deduction is MIN(deduction_limit, contributions_of_the_year), normally, deduction_limit is larger than contributions_of_the_year, so we simply query from 2014 Assessment's Schedule 7 at line 245 which is added from:

• your PRPP contributions made from March 4, 2014, to December 31, 2014
• your PRPP contributions made from January 1, 2015, to March 2, 2015

From 2014 Notice of Assessment, you will see `Deductions from total income` is the same as line 245. If you decide that `Deductions from total income` and line 245 happen to be the same. We can get back to 2014 Assessment's RRSP deduction at line 208 and recheck it.

Excel数组公式

在说明 Excel数组公式 的概念之前, 我们先来看看一个实际问题

我们想对上面选择区域进行求和，发现求和结果竟然是0， 这显然不对；
调查到不对的原因是选择区域是文本，对这些区域用右键菜单转换成数值格式，发现左上角还是箭头，说明转化不成功；
网上有一些教程说可以用别的方式批量转文本为数值，比如用数据菜单中的分列功能， 我没有尝试，现在用Excel数组公式来解决这个问题:
1. 选中用来存sum的结果的单元格；
2. 生成公式模版如下
3. 在公式编辑栏中改公式为
=SUM(VALUE(起始单元格:N138))
4. 按CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER结束, 注意这会告诉EXCEL这是有数组为参数的公式(按完快捷键它会显示为下面的形式:
=SUM(VALUE(N123:N138))

config apache: allow PHP code in HTML files

Assuming the system is Ubuntu. Ubuntu doesn't use httpd.conf as standard, instead global configuration stuff for apache is found in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf . Open the file using a text editor, go to the end of the file and add the following line: AddType application/x-httpd-php .html restart the service

SublimeSSH

This tutorial will teach you how to set up Sublime Text to edit files in ssh server.

Config Sublime

1. Open Sublime Text and hit “ctrl + `”. This will show console. Copy and paste the Python code from packagecontrol.io or as following

import urllib.request,os,hashlib; h = '6f4c264a24d933ce70df5dedcf1dcaee' + 'ebe013ee18cced0ef93d5f746d80ef60'; pf = 'Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); urllib.request.install_opener( urllib.request.build_opener( urllib.request.ProxyHandler()) ); by = urllib.request.urlopen( 'http://packagecontrol.io/' + pf.replace(' ', '%20')).read(); dh = hashlib.sha256(by).hexdigest(); print('Error validating download (got %s instead of %s), please try manual install' % (dh, h)) if dh != h else open(os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write(by) 

into the console terminal and hit enter.

2. Hit “ctrl + shift + p” to bring up the package manager. Search for "Install Package" and select it.

3. Check we are in installing package context and search and hit for rsub (a client to connect to the proxy app at ssh server). on succ, will print:
[rsub] Server running on localhost:52698
If already installed rsub, everytime Sublime starts, this message showed.

Installing ssh client

I suggest installing Xshell ( select English when decide language ).

Following is a saved login config:

Login to and config ssh server

Install rsub:

sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/rsub https://raw.github.com/aurora/rmate/master/rmate
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/rsub
 

Test

Consider you are in /var/www/html of your ssh server and want send file jsdo.html to Sublime:

sudo rsub jsdo.html

Use Sublime to edit this file and save, at ssh server, you will see the file changed after saved from Sublime.

Enjoy!

SSH Tunnel

There are two ways to create an SSH tunnel, local and remote port forwarding (there's also dynamic forwarding, but we won't cover that here).

local port forwarding

forwarding to remote server

Imagine you’re on a private network which doesn’t allow connections to a specific server. Let’s say you’re at work and imgur.com is being blocked. To get around this we can create a tunnel through ssh server which isn’t on our network and thus can access Imgur.

$ ssh -L 9000:imgur.com:80 user@example.com //local port is targeting at imgur.com's port 80 with help of ssh server user@example.com .

Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:9000 , nobody is going to see what sites you’re visiting, they’ll only see an SSH connection to your server.

forwarding to ssh server

ssh -L 9000:localhost:5432 user@example.com

For here, the tunnel is localhost:9000 and ssh_server:5432; for easy maintain, local port and ssh port can be the same. the ssh_server can accept multiple connections at same port.

Remote port forwarding

Say that you’re developing a Rails application on your local machine, and you’d like to show it to a friend. Unfortunately your ISP didn’t provide you with a public IP address, so it’s not possible to connect to your machine directly from the internet.

Sometimes this can be solved by configuring NAT (Network Address Translation) on your router, but this doesn’t always work, and it requires you to change the configuration on your router, which isn’t always desirable. This solution also doesn’t work when you don’t have admin access on your network.

To fix this problem you need to have another computer, it can be any server on the internet or your company We’ll tell SSH to make a tunnel that opens up a new port on the server, and connects it to a port on your machine:

$ ssh -R 9000:localhost:3000 user@example.com

The syntax here is very similar to local port forwarding, with a single change of -L for -R. First you need to specify the port on which th remote server will listen, which in this case is 9000, and next follows localhost for your local machine, and the local port, which in this case is 3000.

There is one more thing you need to do to enable this. SSH doesn’t by default allow remote hosts to forwarded ports. To enable this open /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add the following line somewhere in that config file.
GatewayPorts yes
Make sure you add it only once!
$ sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
And restart SSH
$ sudo service ssh restart

ESPP

A ESPP invest period is often 6 months, each month an amount is invested.

When the company buys the shares for you, you do not owe any taxes. You are exercising your rights under the ESPP. You have bought some stock. So far so good.

When you sell the stock, the discount that you received when you bought the stock is generally considered additional compensation to you, so you have to pay taxes on it as regular income.

If you hold the stock for less than a year before you sell it, any gains will be considered compensation and taxed as such. If you hold the shares for more than one year, any profit will be taxed at the usually lower capital gains rate.

For me, espp shares are often sold Feb or Aug after the 15th day.

RSU

An example of an RSU grant is the easiest way to understand the concept. Let's say Sue works for ABC Corp and was awarded 300 RSUs on May 1, 2011.

50 award will vest every 6 months. Sue's first batch of 50 units of restricted stock vested on November 1, 2011. ABC was trading at $10 and Sue's employer sold 23 shares(46%) and remitted the withholding tax to CRA. Sue's second batch of 50 units of restricted stock vested on May 1, 2012. ABC was trading at $12 and Sue's employer again sold 23 shares and remitted the withholding tax to CRA. In both cases, her employer included $500 and $600 in employment income and $230 and $276 in income tax deducted in Sue's T4 for 2011 and 2012 respectively(so sue pay income tax for $270 and $324, for year 2011 and 2012).

On May 15, 2012, ABC hit $15 and Sue sold the 54 shares of ABC Corp that she holds. Sue's adjusted cost base is $11 (27 shares acquired at $10 and 27 shares acquired at $12). Since she sold for $15, her capital gains are $216, which she would declare when filing her 2012 tax return in Schedule 3, if no deduction from paychecks | payrolls.

RSU is too complex for tax, later never consider RSU.
