Why Do You Need A Plagiarism Checker?
Surfing the Internet is a very common activity of our daily life. Very often, you visit a site for online shopping; ordering food or you explore the net just for time pass. But have you ever thought that you are actually risking your personal information on these sites and are under the risk of cyber-attack? Anonymous web browsing is the solution to escape from this problem.
Anonymous web browsing allows the user to browse the net and visit any website without letting anyone gather any personal or original information about the user from the site he visited. To frame this in simpler words, anonymous browsing is surfing the internet in a private mode where no one can get any access to your real identification.
Anonymous web browsing has gained popularity because of two main reasons: -protecting the privacy of the user and allowing the users to visit any website that they want by eliminating the blocking.
Why is Anonymous Browsing Important?
The anonymous way of surfing the web has become a must in today's scenario for ensuring complete online privacy and security. Many people who are concern about protecting their sensitive and personal information from the sites and online agencies are making the use of anonymous browsing.
Complete Privacy: The anonymous browsing allows the users to get a complete private browsing session. This technology replaces the original IP with any random foreign IP which makes it difficult to track the sites visited by the users.
Security from Hackers: Browsing the internet in the private mode helps the users to stay protected against all types of hackers. The hackers trying to get an access to your original IP will never be able to get it because of the foreign IP used for browsing and therefore, the hackers will never be sure that they are attacking their right target.
Cut Down on Unwanted Advertisements: Whenever you visit a site, the advertisement agencies and people stores your preferences and likings and then they hit you with a heavy number of advertisements. You can limit and cut down all these unwanted advertisements with a private surfing method.
Protection from Cyber-Bullies: You can protect yourself from the DDoS attacks from the cyber bullies. The bullies usually attack their target when they are able to access their real name, IP address and other related information but with surfing the net anonymously you will never be online over the net with any of your real and sensitive information which will make it difficult for the bullies to attack you.
Post Whatever you Want: Some people see this as an advantage while for some it is a disadvantage. By being an anonymous user you can actually speak and post anything that comes to your mind. You can spread awareness about any sensitive issue without the need to reveal your original name and identity or you can target any social cause over the internet with your hidden identity.
Tor is the most popular and preferred tool that is used for anonymous browsing. Tor is protecting the privacy of all the users that are using Windows, Linux, Apple MAC, etc. by making it difficult to track the activities of the users. It gives the users the freedom to visit any website, to post anything, and to send any instant message. Along with providing so many benefits, the only area where it lacks is that it reduces the internet speed.
Hotspot Shield is available for Windows, MAC, Android, iOS, etc. creates a virtual private network and connects users to it for providing them a secure internet connection along with unblocking the various sites that they cannot access normally.
This tool allows the users to bypass the blocked contents in most of the countries. It hides the original IP of the users, thereby eliminating the possibility to track the user from the sites visited. It can be used for Windows, Android, iOS, MAC, etc.
When I'm not working on wrangling RSS feeds into submission, I like to chill out and relax. Sort of chillax, really. I play games. Lots of them. Far too much, in fact. My latest obsession is Candy Crush Saga, which is kind of embarrassing because I think my mom is better at it than I am. But I like it because it's mindless and you guessed it: I get to chillax while playing it. I I'm also playing Poptropica quite a bit and really looking forward to the new Poptropica Twisted Thicket Island.

This is wonderful. Thank you so much!
do the mediafire links for the avi have been removed?
No. If there's any episode in particular that doesn't work, tell me.
i don't know whether it's my computer or something else.. i can't download all avi format from your mediafire links. it says "file or directory not found"..
after the whole incident with megavideo, is there anywhere else i can watch these on the internet? thanks!
I just wanted to leave a comment here to say just how thankful I am for your hard work. Adventure 02 was my favorite show as a child – even more so than the first season – and I've been looking for a subbed version of it for three years or more. I'm downloading the last episode now and I'm so happy – that I got to rewatch one of my favorite shows, and to once again have the opportunity of noticing just how much more there is to Digimon than just a merchandise-driven franchise. THANK YOU. I realize how hard it must be to sub all these things, and I've got to say that you're a HERO. I wish there was any way I could help with your other projects, but my Japanese is veeeeeeery basic T___T.
Again, THANK YOU. It might not be much, but you've made a person very happy this month.
I would like to know if you have any intention of subbing the first Digimon Adventure 02 movie with the golden digimentals!!
And thank you sooooooo much for subbing them i love your incredible work!!
Yeah, but not any time soon.
Snimon should be "Insect-type" Digimon (Konchuu-gata Digimon). But for the rest – great job!
I just want to say thank you for subtitling this series, and I see that you're re-doing some of it as well =) This was my favorite season of Digimon, even if most Digimon fans hated it, and you did an incredible job.
In the Media Fire Folder there is something call Adventure 02 Scripts… what does that do?
It's the subtitle files, in case someone wants them.
Just wondering that what is the difference of Digimon02 V2 then the original!? thank you.
OK, I hope you're gonna add some new versions soon.
Hi, may I ask when the higher quality batch is gonna be up for torrent?
Just to clarify, only the first 2 episodes have actually been remade. I'll make a torrent when/if we finish, but the thing is we have no idea when that'll be.
Oh I see… that's unfortunate. That's all right then, I'll just get the previously uploaded torrents. Just to clarify, what's the difference between the two links posted? Just the video format?
Yeah, just the format. Well, and quality as a result (MKV > AVI always).
Just wondering, since it's not clear from the present content of the relevant blog posts: what is the current state of 02, especially after the recent takedown of episodes hosted on MediaFire?
And another question: is the video in the Positron, as opposed to Positron–Puto, files for 02 re-encoded from the old Xvid raws? I thought I'd seen this explicitly stated here, but can't find now.
And now a note: the current batch torrents have file names with 'v2' in them, so perhaps it isn't a very good idea to name the new Positron–Puto scripts 'v2'.
We never did anything past episode 2 with that, and right now those two aren't uploaded anywhere either. Can't really say much about it at this point.
Yes, the [Positron] releases were encoded from those.
Can you tell us when you're gonna start the new versions of Adventure 02?
Honestly, it'll be done when it's done. Puto's the one doing most of the work and he's busy, while I personally don't have much of an interest in 02 in the first place. It doesn't help that the DVDs aren't exactly amazing in terms of quality to begin with either.
Are considering working on new encodes?
The 2nd season was released on DVD.
Hi Mr. Positron! I'm just a random Digimon fan who follows your subs. I was wondering about something. I'm not a big techie so bear with me =P I went back here to download the mkv format of season 2 because I was under the impression it would be better quality, because mkvs usually are. But I just compared my original avis to the mkvs and I honestly don't see any difference. Perhaps I'm missing something? Also, are the mkv subtitles any better or are the two packs basically identical? I would kind of like to know so I don't download 9+ gb of something I already have haha.
If by the original AVIs you mean Positron's subbed AVIs, then the MKVs are better. If you mean the Xvid raws paired with Positron's external subtitle files, the MKVs are worse. The differences may not be very noticeable because the quality of the source (the Xvid raws) isn't very high. Now, if you somehow get hold of the Positron–Puto version of the first two episodes, that should look quite a bit better.
Although now I'm curious about these Positron-Puto versions. I'd love to see that. I have some other things that seem to be done by Puto (I download things at random) and their quality is amazing, even to the untrained eye.
It's what happens when I don't have a seedbox, my home connection has terrible upload, and not a lot of people seed.
Though the MKV torrent should be fine since it's hosted on BakaBT where people actually seed, a lot.
Thank you for the wonderful subs, allowing me to relive my childhood again.
However, I have yet to finish downloading due to lack of seeders.
Can someone please tell me where to find Positron Subs list of mediafire links of Digimon 02? The torrent is not working and if I have the links and time I can download one by one. But I can't find the links anywhere and Positron is the best fansubs for Digimon 02. Can someone lend me a hand please?
Hey, just passing by to say thanks for your incredible work on this!
It has Japanese audio and English subtitles translated from the Japanese audio, but not actual Japanese subtitles.
what's the size of the video? is it 720p?
It's DVD video, so it can't be 720p unless it's upscaled by the encoder (PositronCannon in this case), but it's questionable whether that's useful.
Specifically, this release is 640×480.
Do you know if someone has ripped and encoded the BluRay version for 02?
There's this Blu-ray rip without subtitles: https://nyaa.si/view/812822 although I haven't seen it, so I can't say anything about the quality. To add subtitles, you can download PositronCannon's scripts and rename them to match the Blu-ray files, or I hear somewhere on AnimeBytes there are files that combine these raws with these scripts for you.

Jim Haney named Assistant Coach of the Year
Albert Lea Assistant Track Coach Jim Haney stands with Gavin Hanke at Minnesota State Track and Field Meet. Haney has been named the Section 1AA Assistant Coach of the Year. Provided.
First award designated for track
By Savannah Howe
A longtime Albert Lea coach has been named Section 1AA Assistant Coach of the Year.
The Tiger's cross country head coach and assistant track coach, Jim Haney has been with the school since 1989. In his many years of coaching Albert Lea athletes, Haney feels fortunate to be part of such remarkable teams.
"Jasmine Hansen and Kevin Gentz run great programs," Haney says. "I appreciate that they have confidence in me to work with these exceptional athletes."
While he's been coaching track for nearly a decade, this is his first award designation for the sport; he was named Big Nine Coach of the Year in cross country approximately 10 years ago.
Haney thinks his athletes appreciate his upbeat, but focused and organized, training style and approach.
"I have tried to keep it as fun and as loose as we possibly can, but we still get our goals accomplished," he says. "I train the distance team, so they're dedicated athletes and they know what's expected of them."
The 2022 track season wrapped up with track on Thursday. Haley's outlook for the 2023 season is positive as he is looking forward to improvement in the athletes through continued weight lifting and training.
After this year's successful section meet, he hopes to see more runners motivated to move on to state next year.
"I'm asking these young men and women to run a long way, and that takes perseverance, drive and dedication," Haley says. "Those are all things that you need in the real world to have a great life. Running's not easy, it's not always fun. But I have special athletes. They enjoy how hard it is and seeing their goals being reached, and that's a special thing for me to see them reach the goals that they have."

Thailand festival 2017. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is organising the organising the Phimai Festival 2017 from 8 to 12 November at Phimai Historical Park, Chakkarat River in Phimai District and around Nakhon Ratchasima province.
The annual Festival celebrates the grandeur of Phimai during the reign of Cambodian King Jayavarman VII, who ordered the construction of Thailand's most significant Khmer temples including Prasat Hin Phimai, during his reign over 1,000 years ago.
Highlight of the five-day Phimai Festival 2017 includes a special exhibition to honour and pay tribute to Thailand's late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. A daily light-and-sound presentation is scheduled from 19:00, while the lively annual Phimai Boat Race on the Chakkarat River (11 to 12 November) features participating teams coming from around the country to compete.
Other activities include an exhibition on Phimai history with replica period market selling local products plus a traditional arts and crafts fair. Cultural performances include a 'Korat Cat Competition' with awards for the most perfect feline also known as the much prized 'Siamese Cat'.
There are also cooking demonstrations of popular dishes such as famous Pad Mee Korat (stir fried noodles) and Som Tam. Visitors are invited to join in the fun and take part in local cooking classes as well as many other interactive and do-it-yourself workshops.
The Phimai Festival brings together the Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Authority and Department of Fine Arts, in cooperation with the TAT, to promote unique Thai local experiences in Phimai for the enjoyment of both domestic and international travellers.


The Denver Nuggets announced today that they have fired head coach Brian Shaw. Shaw, who had the Nuggets at 20-39 record this season, had an overall record of 56-83 in the 1 and a 1/2 season he spent in Denver. Shaw was named head coach of the Nuggets on June 25th, 2013, and hasn't lived up to some of the expectations the Nuggets were given.
Nuggets General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly had the following to say on Shaw's firing.
"On behalf of everyone in the Denver Nuggets organization, I would personally like to thank Brian for his services the past two seasons in Denver," said Kroenke. "He is a champion and a gentleman and I wish him nothing but the best for himself and his family moving forward. Since we purchased the franchise in 2000 we have constantly strived to field a competitive team, culminating in 10 straight playoff appearances and a franchise record 57 wins in the 2012-13 regular season. Expectations have been raised and we want more.
The Nuggets have named Melvin Hunt the team's interim coach. Hunt spent 5 seasons as the Nuggets assistant coach, and was also the Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coach from 2005-2010. He has also spent time with the Lakers and Rockets.

Sorry, it has been longer than anticipated since part 2 (also: part 1). A large part of the reason for that is that I've been trying to think how best to explain some of the inner guts of StackExchange.Redis in a way that makes it easy to understand, and is useful for someone trying to learn about "pipelines", not StackExchange.Redis. I've also been thinking on ways to feed more practical "pipelines" usage guidance into the mix, which was something that came up a lot in feedback to parts 1/2.
In the end, I decided that the best thing to do was to step back from StackExchange.Redis, and use a completely different example, but one that faces almost all of the same challenges.
I'll be walking through a lot of code here, but I'll also be making the "real" code available for further exploration; this also includes some things I dodn't have time to cover here, such as how to host a pipelines server inside the Kestrel server.
So; we've probably got enough there to start talking about real-world - and very common - scenarios in network code, and we can use that to start thinking about how "pipelines" makes our life easier.
Also an important point: anything I say below is not meant to be critical of SimplSockets - rather, it is to acknowledge that it was written when a lot of pieces like "pipelines" and async/await didn't exist - so it is more an exploration into how we could implement this differently with today's tools.
The first question I have here is - for received messages in particular: "how should we expose this data to consumers?". By this I mean: SimplSockets went with byte as the exchange type; can we improve on that? Unsurprisingly: yes. There are many approaches we can use here.
at one extreme, we can stick with byte - i.e. allocate a standalone copy of the data, that we can hand to the user; simple to work with, and very safe (nobody else sees that array - no risk of confusion), but it comes at the cost of allocations and copy time.
In the context of a general purpose messaging API, I think that 5 is a reasonable option - it means the caller can store the data for some period while they work with it, without jamming the pipe, while still allowing us to make good use of the array pool. And if someone forgets the using, it is less efficient, but nothing will actually explode - it just means it'll tend to run a bit more like option 1. But: this decision of exchange types needs careful consideration for your scenario. The StackExchange.Redis client uses option 3, handing out deconstructed data; I also have a fake redis server using the StackExchange.Redis framing code, which uses option 2 - never allowing live escape a request context. You need to take time in considering your exchange types, because it is basically impossible to change this later!
As a pro tip for option 2 (using live ReadOnlySequence<byte> data and not letting it escape the context - zero-copy for maxiumum efficiency), one way to guarantee this is to wrap the buffer in a domain-specific ref struct before handing it to the code that needs to consume it. It is impossible to store a ref struct, which includes holding onto it in an async/await context, and includes basic reflection (since that requires "boxing", and you cannot "box" a ref struct) - so you have confidence that when the method completes, they no longer have indirect access to the data.
The key point here is in Dispose(), where it swaps out the array field (using Interlocked.Exchange), and puts the array back into the pool. Once we've done this, subsequent calls to .Memory will fail, and calls to Dispose() will do nothing.
the arrays it gives you are often oversized (so that it can give you a larger array if it doesn't have one in exactly your size, but it has a larger one ready to go). This means we need to track the expected length (_length), and use that when constructing .Memory.
As a side note, I wonder whether the above concept might be a worthy addition inside the framework itself, for usage directly from ArrayPool<T> - i.e. a method like IMemoryOwner<T> RentOwned(int length) alongside T Rent(int minimumLength) - perhaps with the additions of flags for "zero upon fetch" and "zero upon return".
The caller doesn't need to know about the implementation details (array-pool, etc). Note that we still have to allocate a small object to represent this, but this is still hugely preferable to allocating a large byte buffer each time, for our safety.
As a caveat, we should note that a badly written consumer could store the .Memory somewhere, which would lead to undefined behaviour after it has been disposed; or they could use MemoryMarshal to get an array from the memory. If we really needed to prevent these problems, we could do so by implementing a custom MemoryManager<T> (most likely, by making ArrayPoolOwner<T> : MemoryManager<T>, since MemoryManager<T> : IMemoryOwner<T>). We could then make .Span fail just like .Memory does above, and we could prevent MemoryMarshal from being able to obtain the underlying array. It is almost certainly overkill here, but it is useful to know that this option exists, for more extreme scenarios.
At this point you're probably thinking "wow, Marc, you're really over-thinking this - just give them the data", but: getting the exchange types right is probably the single most important design decision you have to make, so: this bit matters!
This shows how we can use ArrayPool<T> to obtain a (possibly oversized) array that we can use to hold a copy of the data; once we've copied it, we can hand the copy to a consumer to use however they need (and being a flat vector here makes it simple to consume), while the network code can advance the pipe and discard / re-use the buffers. When they Dispose() it, it goes back in the pool, and everyone is happy.
For the latter, specifically: the pipe is the queue; meaning: we already have a buffer of data between the actual output. Adding a second queue is just duplicating this and retaining complexity, so: the second major design change we can make is: throw away the unsent queue; just write to the pipe (synchronized, etc), and let the pipe worry about the rest. One slight consequence of this is that the v1 code had a concept of prioritising messages that are expecting a reply - essentially queue-jumping. By treating the pipe as the outbound queue we lose this ability, but in reality this is unlikely to make a huge difference, so I'm happy to lose it. For very similar reasons, StackExchange.Redis v2 loses the concept of CommandFlags.HighPriority, which is this exact same queue-jumping idea. I'm not concerned by this.
Here we're giving the caller the conveninence of passing us either an IMemoryOwner<byte> (which we then dispose correctly), or a ReadOnlyMemory<byte> if they don't need to convery ownership.
The ValueTask makes sense because a write to a pipe is often synchronous; we probably won't be contested for the single-writer access, and the only async part of writing to a pipe is flushing if the pipe is backed up (flushing is very often always synchronous). The messageId is the additional metadata in the frame header that lets us pair replies later. We'll worry about what it is in a bit.
So; let's implement that. The first thing we need is guaranteed single-writer access. It would be tempting to use a lock, but lock doesn't play well with async (even if you don't screw it up). Because the flush may be async, the continuation could come back on another thread, so we need an async-compatible locking primitive; SemaphoreSlim should suffice.
In general, application code should be optimized for readability; library code should be optimized for performance.
You may or may not agree with this, but it is the general guidance that I code by. What I mean by this is that library code tends to have a single focused purpose, often being maintained by someone whose experience may be "deep but not necessarily wide"; your mind is focusing on that one area, and it is OK to go to bizarre lengths to optimize the code. Conversely, application code tends to involve a lot more plumbing of different concepts - "wide but not necessarily deep" (the depth being hidden in the various libraries). Application code often has more complex and unpredictable interactions, so the focus should be on maintainable and "obviously right".
Basically, my point here is that I tend to focus a lot on optimizations that you wouldn't normally put into application code, because I know from experience and extensive benchmarking that they really matter. So... I'm going to do some things that might look odd, and I want you to take that journey with me.
can I get the single-writer access uncontested?
The Wait(0) returns true if and only if we can take the semaphore synchronously without delay. If we can't: all bets are off, just switch to the async version. Note once you've gone async, there's no point doing any more of these "hot path" checks - you've already built a state machine (and probably boxed it): the meal is already paid for, so you might as well sit and eat.
However, if we do get the semaphore for free, we can continue and do our writing for free. The header is synchronous anyway, so our next decision is: did the flush complete synchronously? If it did (IsCompletedSuccessfully), we're done - away we go (return default;). Otherwise, we'll need to await the flush. Now, we can't do that from our non-async method, but we can write a separate method (AwaitFlushAndRelease) that takes our incomplete flush, and awaits it. In particular, note that we only want the semaphore to be released after the flush has completed, hence the Release() in our helper method. This is also why we set release to false in the calling method, so it doesn't get released prematurely.
We can apply similar techniques to most async operations if we know they're going to often be synchronous, and it is a pattern you may wish to consider. Emphasis: it doesn't help you at all if the result is usually or always genuinely asynchronous - so: don't over-apply it.
You can ask a PipeWriter for "reasonable" sized buffers with confidence, and 8 bytes is certainly a reasonable size. The helpful framework-provided BinaryPrimitives type provides explicit-endian tools, perfect for network code. The first call writes length to the first 4 bytes of the span. After that, we need to Slice the span so that the second call writes to the next 4 bytes - and finally we call Advance(8) which commits our header to the pipe without flushing it. Normally, you might have to write lots of pieces manually, then call FlushAsync explicitly, but this particular protocol is a good fit for simply calling WriteAsync on the pipe to attach the payload, which includes the flush. So; putting those pieces together, we've successfully written our message to the pipe.
where _awaitingResponses is a dictionary of int message-ids to TaskCompletionSource<IMemoryOwner<byte>>. This code invents a new messageId (avoiding zero, which we'll use as a sentinel value), and creates a TaskCompletionSource<T> to represent our in-progress operation. Since this definitely will involve network access, there's no benefit in exposing it as ValueTask<T>, so this works well. Once we've added our placeholder for catching the reply we write our message (always do book-keeping first, to avoid race conditions). Finally, expose the incomplete task to the caller.
Note that I've implemented this the "obvious" way, but we can optimize this like we did previously, by checking if WriteAsync completed synchronously and simply returning the tcs.Task without awaiting it. Note also that SimplSockets used the calling thread-id as the message-id; this works fine in a blocking scenario, but it isn't viable when we're using async - but: the number is opaque to the "other end" anyway - all it has to do is return the same number.
// do we have the "length" bytes?
otherwise, stackalloc a span (note that this doesn't need unsafe), copy 8 bytes from input into that, and parse from there.
This means that when we return true, payload now contains the bytes that were sent to us, as a discontiguous buffer.
Once again, BinaryPrimitives is helping us out, and we are slicing the input in exactly the same way as before to get the two halves.
This code has two paths; it can be the request/response scenario, or it can be an out-of-band response message with no request. So; if we have a non-zero messageId, we check (synchronized) in our _awaitingResponses dictionary to see if we have a message awaiting completion. If we do, we use TrySetResult to complete the task (after exiting the lock), giving it a lease with the data from the message. Otherwise, we check whether the MessageReceived event is subscribed, and invoke that similarly. In both cases, the use of ?. here means that we don't populate a leased array if nobody is listening. It will be the receiver's job to ensure the lease is disposed, as only they can know the lifetime.
So; our publicly visible server type, SimplPipelineServer has an abstract method for providing the implementation for what we want to do with messages: OnReceiveForReplyAsync - that takes a payload, and returns the response. Behind the scenes we have a set of clients, _clients, although the details of that aren't interesting.
We accept new clients via the RunClientAsync method; this might seem counter-intuitive, but the emerging architecture for pipelines servers (especially considering "Kestrel" hosts) is to let an external host deal with listening and accepting connections, and all we need to do is have something that accepts an IDuplexPipe and returns a Task. In this case, what that does is create a new Client and start the client's read loop, StartReceiveLoopAsync. When the client receives a message (OnReceiveAsync), it asks the server for a response (_server.OnReceiveForReplyAsync), and then writes that response back via WriteAsync. Note that the version of OnReceiveAsync shown has the consequence of meaning that we can't handle multiple overlapped messages on the same connection at the same time; the "real" version has been aggressively uglified, to check whether _server.OnReceiveForReplyAsync(msg) has completed synchronously; if it hasn't, then it schedules a continuation to perform the WriteAsync (also handling the disposal of msg), and yields to the caller. It also optimizes for the "everything is synchronous" case.
SimplPipelineClient.ConnectAsync here just uses Pipelines.Sockets.Unofficial to spin up a client socket pipeline, and starts the StartReceiveLoopAsync() method. Taking an additional dependency on Pipelines.Sockets.Unofficial is vexing, but right now there is no framework-supplied client-socket API for pipelines, so: it'll do the job.
This code sets up a simple console client that takes keyboard input; if it receives a "q" it quits; otherwise it sends the message to the server (Encode, not shown, is just a simple text-encode into a leased buffer), and writes the response. The WriteLineAsync method here takes a leased buffer, decodes it, and writes the output to the console - then disposes the buffer. We also listen for unsolicited messages via MessageReceived, and write those to the console with a different prefix.
The key line in here is our OnClientConnectedAsync method, which is how we accept new connections, simply by passing down the client.Transport (an IDuplexPipe). Hosting in Kestrel works very similarly, except you subclass ConnectionHandler instead of SocketServer, and override the OnConnectedAsync method - but there are a few more steps involved in plumbing everything together. Kestrel, however, has advantages such as supporting exotic socket APIs.
This works much like the client, except any input other than "q" is broadcast to all the clients.
We're not just doing this for fun! The key obective of things like pipelines and the array-pool is that it makes it much simpler to write IO code that makes efficient use of memory; reducing allocations (and especially reducing large object allocations) signficantly reduces garbage collection overhead, allowing our code to be much more scalable (useful for both servers, and high-throughput client scenarios). Our use of async/await makes it much simpler to make effective use of the CPU: instead of blocking for a while, we can make the thread available to do other useful work - increasing throughput, and once again: reducing memory usage (having lots of threads is not cheap - each thread has a quite significant stack space reserved for it).
Note that this isn't entirely free; fetching arrays from the pool (and remembering to return them) by itself has some overhead - but the general expectation is that the cost of checking the pool is, overall, lower than the cost associated from constant allocations and collections. Similarly, async: the hope is that the increased scalability afforded by freeing up threads more-than-offsets the cost of the additional work required by the plumbing involved.
Setting up a good race-track for code can be awkward, because we need to try to reproduce a meaningful scenario. And it is amazingly easy to write bad performnce tests. Rather than reinvent bad code, it is hugely adviseable to lean on tools like BenchmarkDotNet. If you are even remotely performance minded, and you haven't used BenchmarkDotNet: sorry, but you're doing it wrong.
Now, you're probaly looking at that table and thinking "huh? most of the data is missing - how can interpret that?" - and: you wouldn't be wrong! It turns out that the c1 (SimplSocketClient) and s1 (SimplSocketServer) implementations are simply unreliable. Ultimately, it was painfully hard to write reliable socket code before pipelines, and it looks like the legacy implementation simply has bugs and race conditions that don't show up in casual usage (it works fine in the REPL client), but which manifest pretty quickly when BenchmarkDotNet runs it aggressively. Our "pipelines" implementation simply used the "obvious" thing, and it works reliably first time. All of the complex pieces that IO authors previously had to worry about have now moved to the framework code, which enables programmers to focus on the interesting thing that they're trying to do (rather than spending most of their time fighting with IO intrinsics), and benefit from a reliable well-tested implementation of the ugly IO code.
A major advantage of moving to pipelines is getting rid of the gnarly IO bugs that you didn't even know you had.
I will be more than happy to update this table with updated numbers if SimplSockets can find the things that are stalling it.
Of the numbers that we do have, we can see that it behaves well on Clr (.NET Framework) but works much better on Core (.NET Core). .NET Core 2.1 is frankly amazing (and 3.0 looks even better) - with lots of advantages. If you're serious about performance, migrating to .NET Core should definitely be on your roadmap.
This has been a long read, but I hope I've conveyed some useful practical advice and tips for working with pipelines in real systems, in a way that is directly translatable to your own requirements. If you want to play with the code in more depth, or see it in action, you can see my fork here.


Have you heard of Mallzee?
October 27, 2013 September 28, 2017 Leave a Comment on Have you heard of Mallzee?
Mallzee was first brought to my attention at Pout in Edinburgh this September. It is a personal shopping app that searches different retailers for you and suggests items based on the information you provide when you first open up the app. Some of the nice people from Mallzee were also at Fabb bloggers event in Glasgow at the start of the month and they were giving demonstrations on how the app worked.
On first opening the app you pick your gender.
It then gives you instructions on how to like items and how to hide those that you wouldn't wear.
After this you are presented with some outfits to either say you like or don't.
Once you have completed these steps you pick the brands that you like from the list provided.
You are then taken to the 'Discovery' section of the app where you scroll through options that have been picked based on the information you have already given. Again at this point you can like or hide clothes, the idea behind this is that the app gets smarter based on the things you like/dislike.
Using the search feature you can request results for a certain thing you are looking for, so for example you are looking for a new winter jumper you can search 'knitwear'. It will then search from the list of retailers you have picked.
Once the search results have come up again you can hide the results you don't like, double tap to like and save an item and you can also buy straight from the app!
This is a great app and I love the way you can search a lot of your favourite shops in one place rather than having to go to each individual website. Also, the majority of searches have given me stuff that I would wear and that suits my style. There is a social aspect to the app too, if you are looking for an opinion on something you can ask your friends to let you know what they think.
The only downside to this app is that it is not available on Android, only iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Hopefully in time it will also be available through Google Play. Although I am an Android user I still have an old iPhone which I am glad about as it meant I had the chance to try this out.
If you have an iPhone and have not already got Mallzee I suggest downloading it for free on iTunes.

Q: jobs list and finding the process ID using Linux in Red Hat I have wrote this script but when i run the job -ls and ps|grep i get no results here is my script:
#!/bin/bash
trap 'echo -e "kill Command given \n";exit 2'SIGINT SIGTERM
count=1
echo "start of the program"
while [ $count -le 10 ]
do
    echo "Loop #${count}"
    sleep 10
    count=$[ count + 1 ]
done
echo "end of program"

A: This syntax is invalid:
trap 'echo -e "kill Command given \n";exit 2'SIGINT SIGTERM

because you don't have valid spacing. Use this instead:
trap 'echo -e "kill Command given \n"; exit 2' INT TERM

You're probably doing something else wrong, too, since this works fine for me:
# Start 10 sleep processes in the background.
for x in {1..10}; do
    sleep 60 &
done

$ pgrep -c sleep
10

I'm getting the results I'm expecting, which is a count of the number of sleep processes currently running. If you're expecting something else, please update your question and provide some examples of your expected output.

A: I use this
ps | awk /$1/'{print $4; exit}'

Teresa Castillo Tweets About Her Return to General Hospital
Teresa Castillo's character Sabrina Santiago has had a lot of ups and downs in her seemingly short time living in Port Charles. She moved to Port Charles to begin her career in nursing as a way to follow in her Mother's footsteps. Sabrina's mother was also a nurse. She passed away some time ago and now that Sabrina is grown she wanted to become a nurse and take care of others just as her mother did.
Shortly after arriving in Port Charles and landing a job at GH, she set her sights on Dr. Patrick Drake. Not knowing he was the husband of the (then) late Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake, she fell deeper and deeper for Patrick as time went on. She soon found out who he actually was, but she was battling with Dr. Britt Westbourne for his affections. Soon after Sabrina won her man, Robin turned up alive and made her debut at what was suppsoed to be Sabrina and Patrick's wedding. After Patrick ultimately chose his wife Robin over Sabrina, Sabrina learned she was pregnant with Patrick's baby. Robin left town at the request of Victor Cassadine in an atempt to being he rbest frined Jason Morgan back to life. Jason, along with a couple Cassadines, has been cryogenically frozen and only the skills of Dr. Robin Scorpio have the chance of bringing them back. Meanwhile, back in PC, Patrick, Sabrina, and Emma were involved in a serious car accident. The accident cause Sabrina to go into preterm labor. Shortly after she delivered baby Gabriel, he passed away. Patrick and Sabrina lost their child.
This all led up to the departure of Teresa Castillo's character. Sabrina left Port Charles with her cousin Juan Santiago (Michael Saucedo) and went back to Puerto Rico to be with the rest of her family. The actress has been on maternity leave and is due to return to the set of General Hospital in just a few short weeks. She will begin taping scenes in about two weeks. Castillo sent out a tweet last week with her announcement of returning.
When Sabrina comes back to Port Charles after grieving for her boy in Puerto Rico, she will be facing a hard truth. Patrick and Sam are debating on whether or not it would help or hurt Sabrina, knowing who caused the accident and the events that unfolded before and after. Will learning that Rafe caused the accident give Sabrina closure? Knowing Patrick was the one to operate on Rafe and the outcome that resulted may have an effect on how Sabrina heals from the situation. Let us know what you think. Should Patrick tell Sabrina everything that has happened while she was away?
18 days till I go back to work and I cannot wait! Miss my GH fam so much.
— Teresa Castillo (@TeresaLuvz) July 10, 2014
GH Nurse Sabrina Santiago
I don't know about anyone else, but my favorite newcomer on General Hospital is Sabrina played by the gorgeous Teresa Castillo. I fell in love with this character the same as I did when Spinelli first came to Port Charles. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the two are alike or meant to be, but for me personally, they made an impression in the same way. Young, fresh faces, with new ideas and perspectives. Sabrina is not your typical woman on GH. She has a heart, an innocence, and an overall presence about her that makes you want to see her go far. Tying her to some roots in Port Charles was a good idea. She mentioned to Elizabeth that she is Juan's cousin and her last name is Santiago. I am really looking forward to seeing what they will do with this character and hope to see her flourish whether it's in her career at GH, a relationship, or special projects (like The Nurses Ball). I have not seen Teresa Castillo before in any of her previous acting jobs, but I have to say that I think she is a fantastic actress and fits right in with the GH cast.

Fear-mongering and dirty tricks on Manitou Drive
Cycling, News September 7, 2014 Mike Boos	5 Comments
TriTAG is concerned by apparently disingenuous tactics being used in an attempt to derail plans for Waterloo Region's first segregated bike lanes on Manitou Drive.
In August, the Regional Planning and Works Committee unanimously approved the preferred design option for the Manitou Drive improvements, which would include sidewalks and segregated bike lanes on both sides of the road. The segregated bike lanes would provide continuity between planned bike lanes to the north on Manitou Drive between Bleams and Fairway, and with bike lanes to the south on Doon Village Road. They would also help to form an on-road cycling route between the Doon Village neighbourhood, the Trans-Canada Trail, and ION rapid transit. Presently absent sidewalks would provide safe walking space and would be essential to expanding transit service to the area. Final approval of plans for Manitou Drive is scheduled for the Regional Council meeting on September 17, 2014.
Flyers have recently appeared in the Doon Village neighbourhood, claiming that the committee-approved bike lanes would be "very dangerous" and "cause fatalities." As an alternative, they propose no sidewalks and one multi-use trail on the east side of the road, to be shared by both pedestrians and cyclists. These flyers, which call on residents to contact Regional Council members, contain several errors and exaggerations, as we will outline below.
Misleading cross-section illustrations of the Manitou Drive design.
The flyers' cross-section illustrations (above) would have you believe that bicyclists would be right alongside fast moving trucks, which would indeed be a serious concern. But when you compare the illustration of the segregated lanes to the actual design (below), you realize they've taken quite a few liberties. The vehicle lanes, and indeed the vehicles themselves, have all been stretched in the image so they appear to be brushing up against the bike lanes. (Interesting how the vehicles and lanes don't appear to be as wide in the proposed alternative cross-section!)
Actual cross-section design for Manitou. Note the 0.7 m buffers between bicycles and motor vehicles.
Fire truck, to-scale.
It's also worth noting that even a vehicle as wide as a fire truck would not come close to bicyclists. We've attempted to render a fire truck to-scale next to a segregated bike lane (left).
The inclusion of a school bus in the cross-sections is a nice touch. The image of a school bus invokes fears for the safety of schoolchildren, who wouldn't be on this street anyways – Manitou Drive is in an industrial area with no homes or schools along it.
The flyers call an east-side multi-use trail a "safer alternative." The Planning and Works Committee report finds that a multi-use trail would not be safer, due to the number of driveways the trail would need to cross, creating numerous conflict points. Consequently, Active Transportation Advisory Committee has endorsed this option as its preferred alternative. The flyers also claim that the bike lanes are "more costly to install and maintain, which will increase taxes." Installation costs for the road work costs are already covered in the Ten Year Transportation Capital Program. The report does note that bicycling facilities will lead to additional maintenance needs, but it is not clear that these costs would be greater than those spent maintaining a multi-use trail.
The flyers do not state their source, so we cannot say for certain where they originated from. However, the proposed trail design and claims that segregated lanes pose danger to cyclists echo those of a handful of business owners along the west side of Manitou Drive who have organized a petition against the sidewalks and bike lanes. These businesses do not want to have to maintain sidewalks in winter (in spite of clear desire lines for pedestrian infrastructure). Additionally, both Google Maps and aerial photography reveal that some of these businesses are accustomed to using the space the sidewalk and bike lanes would occupy to showcase vehicles. One must also wonder why this alleged concern is only being expressed now for pedestrians and bicycle users, and not before over existing Manitou Drive conditions?
TriTAG is concerned that not only is misinformation being spread about the proposed segregated bike lanes and sidewalks, but also that it might have been disseminated in order to serve private interests, for reasons entirely unrelated to public safety.
The Planning and Works Committee made the right decision in August. Let's hope this decision isn't derailed by dirty tricks.

5 thoughts on "Fear-mongering and dirty tricks on Manitou Drive"
Mike L. says:
The flyer is pretty silly. However, there is a good reason to prefer a bidirectional multi-use trail on the east side of Manitou Drive. I've taken Manitou Drive hundreds of times on my way to Cambridge. For the most part, the journey from Kitchener to Cambridge is a lovely ride along protected trails and quiet streets. It only gets unpleasant when you're trying to get from Fairway to the wooded trails along the Grand River. The choice basically comes down to Wilson Avenue, which is long and dangerous, or Manitou Drive, which is short and dangerous. The ride down Manitou is a steep descent that ends in a blind corner where car traffic goes right and cyclists who want to go onto the trails turn left. Trying to turn left across traffic at the bottom of that hill is probably the hairiest thing that I routinely do on a bike. When there's traffic whizzing down the hill behind me, it is truly terrifying.
Segregated bike lanes on either side wouldn't solve the problem, would they? I presume these would be one-way bike lanes, so I'd be breaking the law if I were to descend on the east side of Manitou. A single two-way trail would be more useful, it seems to me. It would allow cyclists to safely descend the hill and turn east into the woods.
At any rate, I would love to see any kind of protected lanes on Manitou Drive and/or Wilson Avenue. Currently this part of Kitchener is woefully underserved in terms of cycling infrastructure. It's a real shame because this area is a crucial link from central Kitchener to the wooded trails along the west bank of the Grand River.

Adam G says:
Mike L. – I agree about this part of Kitchener being the worst part of the ride from KW to Cambridge. A few changes have been made recently that have significantly improved the situation in my opinion.
First, the extension of Wabanaki Dr. between Wilson and Fairway is nice, low traffic, and has a (non-segregated) for about half of the way. Second, there is a curb cut and small paved path that allows a cyclist to get between the dead-end Connaught Pl. and 1st Avenue to cross under the Expressway. Previously, taking this route required sidewalk riding and negotiating a narrow unofficial path.
Evan Rosamond says:
Mike L. – There are 2 projects for Manitou Dr. being developed now. The drawing above applies to the Homer Watson to Bleams project. Your problem area is in the Fairway to Bleams project, which will have a similar cross section, but with only 3 traffic lanes (the middle one for left turns). There will be a new bridge over Schneider Creek and it will have a trail underneath it beside the creek. So you will be able to get from the southbound bike lane on Manitou to a new trail to the right which curves around to pass under the new bridge and on to the existing valley trail. This should solve your problem. I think it's going to be a bit steep, so make sure your brakes are good.
Evan, thanks for clearing that up. I should have read the post more closely. Yes, it's a great idea to add pedestrian and bike paths between Bleams and Homer Watson. I've ridden that way when the forest trails were snowed over and it was always very dicey. As for the problem of turning onto the Schneider Creek trail when riding southbound, a left-turn lane would help a lot.

Beauty isn't all about just nice loveliness... Beauty is about more rounded, substantial becoming.
I think beauty, in that sense, is about an emerging fullness, a greater sense of grace and elegance, a deeper sense of depth, and also a kind of homecoming for the enriched memory of your unfolding life.
Every song i write feels like the last song I'll ever write, and the moment it's done I fully forget how I did any of it lol. if artists were fully honest in interviews half our answers to Qs about "process" would probably be "i don't know dude."
Brian Koppelman, showrunner for the TV series "Billions", has thought a lot, and written a lot, about the creative process, providing a fascinating behind-the-scenes peek at how it's done. He's refreshingly candid and shuns dogma at every opportunity which endeared him to me, a self-taught photographer.
Faced with the [art]work, we must try to dispel all the busy suggestions of the mind and simply contemplate the object in front of us. The mind and its facts come in later, but the first, though prepared, experience should be as undefended, as innocent, and as humble as we can make it.


When forced into wilderness survival mode, knowing a few common edible plants and flowers is extremely valuable knowledge.
Heck, most of these might even make it into your kitchen on a regular basis.
But if fate hands you a raw deal, look for these best wild edible plants to help sustain.
We are all familiar with this common lawn weed, but few people realize that this plant can be eaten from top to bottom.
The yellow flower can be pulled from the plant and eaten raw.
Leafs and roots can also be eaten, but leaves taste their best when the plant is still young.
Older leaves can have more of a bitter taste. Leafs and roots taste better after being boiled.
My grandmother used to boil young dandelions and put them in the refrigerator to cool off.
After cooling, she'd add olive oil, vinegar, a little oregano and some pepper. For a picky kid, they weren't bad at all.
If I was in the middle of nowhere, I'd boil them, eat them and thank God I found them.
We tried cattails in Boy Scouts.
They were a staple for Native Americans.
Both the tips and the white colored bottoms of the stalks are edible raw and palatable but be careful not to eat the fiber as it may cause a stomach ache.
They're one of the best wild edible plants that provide an excellent source of starch.
Cattail pollen can also be mixed with flour and egg to make cattail pancakes.
The pollen is gathered only from the top of this plant in late June and early July. You'll know you've hit the pollen when your hands turn yellow.
Asparagus is one of the best wild edible plants widely found across North America.
If you find it in your life, you'll probably find it in or around the same location for the rest of your life.
This wild edible is hardy.
Look for old dead stalks about three feet high. Near those, new young stalks can be found. Wild asparagus doesn't like soil that's too moist.
It can usually be found along ditch banks or next to railroad tracks.
When we were kids, we picked it along the tracks when we were pheasant hunting.
At least we came home with something!
If you live in a place where summers are dry, you can usually find wild asparagus.
Wild asparagus stalks are usually thinner than those you see at the supermarket. If you cut a stalk as close to the ground as possible, a new stalk will grow back.
In the wilderness, wild asparagus can be eaten raw, boiled, or steamed.
Another wild edible found across North America is milk thistle.
This is the plant with the purple flower-like top that we see along some highways.
The spines can be removed from the leaves and the leaves eaten with other greens. Stalks can be boiled.
The plant's roots can be boiled or even baked.
Everybody knows clover and it falls within the group of edible plants.
Clover is everywhere in the United States and very high in protein.
Raw clover can cause problems with digestion, but it can be made into a juice form.
Flour can also be made from dried clover flowers and seed pods.
Tea can also be made from clover, just steep it in water.
Everybody needs a little luck to get out of a survival situation, so try not to eat the four-leaf ones.
If it looks like an onion and smells like an onion, go ahead and eat it. If it looks like an onion but doesn't smell like one, don't eat it.
The same rule applies to garlic.
Wild onions like to grow in damp places, especially on the forest floor.
All of the wild onion plants can be eaten, from top to bottom. It can be eaten raw, cooked, or with other greens.
Classified as a grass, bamboo is one of the edible weeds found in the certain parts of the United States.
The fiber content in bamboo is very high.
Shoots should be cut when very young and under a foot tall.
Bamboo cannot be eaten raw. Outer leaves should be peeled off. Remove any tough parts of the shoots.
Cut them into 1/8″ slices and boil them uncovered for at least 20 minutes or longer to rid them of bitterness.
They can then be eaten alone or with other greens. Bamboo shoots are high in fiber, protein, and potassium.
If caught in a survival situation, dried bamboo also makes excellent kindling for a fire.
This is a common weed we've seen before but no one can pronounce the name.
It grows close to the ground, likes shady areas, and looks like a miniature jade plant.
We'd see it growing in sidewalk cracks going to and from school.
It's one of the most nutritional edible weeds with high Omega-3 fatty acids and beta-carotene.
Purslane can be eaten raw or cooked or mixed with greens.
It's making its way onto restaurant menus so it's good enough for a restaurant, it's good enough for somebody in the middle of nowhere with few nutritional choices.
Wherever you find purslane, it will be around for a long time. Its seeds are viable in the soil for well over 30 years.
Like asparagus, once it's there, it will always be there.
Violets are edible flowers and they are high in vitamins A and C.
Their leaves can be eaten raw or boiled, or they can be dried to make tea.
The flowers can be eaten raw. Be sure not to eat the roots or stems and avoid African Violets.
Violets have also been used medicinally. A common headache cure is a warm towel soaked with violet tea and placed on the back of the neck.
The daylilies have a long history in China as both edible flowers and medicine.
Young, daylily leaves can be cut at 5 inches and sautéed or stir-fried.
Don't damage the flower stalks when cutting the leaves because the daylily can be cut again when the buds and blossoms are present.
The buds can be eaten raw, boiled, or stir-fried. Partially opened or fully opened daylily flowers can be battered with a mixture of flour and water and fried.
The roots of the daylily are also edible, either raw or boiled. They pack high nutrition in the late fall after storing vitamins and minerals from the summer season.
My favorite best wild edible plants are berries and they grow everywhere in northern North America.
Wild blueberries and blackberries grow in cool and high climates.
Almost all berries with a dark color can be safely eaten in the wilderness.
Both blueberries and blackberries are loaded with Vitamin C and rich in fiber.
White, yellow and red berries can kill. Stay away from them unless you are certain, especially in a survival situation.
Although grapes are not necessarily berries, I don't know of a single type of grape that can't be eaten.
If the birds have eaten all of the grapes, pick the smaller grape leaves and dry them for a couple of days and then boil them for about 20 minutes uncovered.
Any meat you might have can be wrapped in the leaves. If there's no meat, just eat the grape leaves by themselves.
I've eaten at least 10,000 of them and never got sick. Although relatively low in caloric value, they're rich in vitamins and fiber. I'd even eat them raw after washing them if I had to.
Most people don't realize that acorns are edible. Not raw, of course, but if you take the time to process them, you can turn them into an acorn flour.
This flour can then be used to bake with just like wheat flour.
Now it does have a unique taste and the properties will make baking with it a bit different.
But as a last resort food source or as a way to use what nature provides, it's definitely a wild edible you should try.
I wanted to highlight one more wild plant that you should forage.
It's not edible but for medicinal purposes, it's a great find.
Wild lettuce can be harvested and processed to make wild lettuce extract.
This extract has many medical benefits so it's worth finding, foraging and harvesting if you happen to come across any of it!
Always be sure of what you're going to eat. Some plants might look like one of these best wild edible plants but instead, they can sicken or kill you.
One suggestion is to eat only a small portion of a plant and then wait an hour to see how your body reacts to it. There are other more determinative tests that can be done on wild edibles that one should learn.
Beware of plants located closer to civilization or roadways as they may have been sprayed with dangerous chemicals.
If a plant smells like almonds, never eat it.
That's the smell of cyanide.
this is a great guide! Never realized asparagus can be found in the world.
Thanks for the compliment. Asparagus can be found in lots of places, especially abandoned garden plots. Its a very hardy vegetable once it's established itself.
Thanks for the kinds words, Roch.
I love this kind of reading, love living independent and off the land..
my mother always said that you have to catch wild asparagus early.
she was always disappointed that all the plants were too big.
I have never found an 'early' plant either.
I am really interested in trying this plant.
In Australia there is loads of what we call "BUSH TUCKER" that is not liked by insects & very hardy yet delicious. We grow plenty.
