Q: Haskell Thrift library 300x slower than C++ in performance test I'm building an application which contains two components - server written in Haskell, and client written in Qt (C++). I'm using thrift to communicate them, and I wonder why is it working so slow.
I made a performance test and here is the result on my machine
Results
C++ server and C++ client:

Sending 100 pings                    -    13.37 ms
Transfering 1000000 size vector      -   433.58 ms
Recieved: 3906.25 kB
Transfering 100000 items from server -  1090.19 ms
Transfering 100000 items to server   -   631.98 ms

Haskell server and C++ client:

Sending 100 pings                       3959.97 ms
Transfering 1000000 size vector      - 12481.40 ms
Recieved: 3906.25 kB
Transfering 100000 items from server - 26066.80 ms
Transfering 100000 items to server   -  1805.44 ms

Why is Haskell so slow in this test? How can I improve it performance?

Update
Edited getVector method to use Vector.generate instead of Vector.fromList, but still no effect
Update 2
Due to suggestion of @MdxBhmt I tested the getItems function as follows:
getItems _ mtname mtsize = do let size = i32toi $! fromJust mtsize
                                  item i = Item mtname (Just $!  Vector.enumFromN (i::Int32) (100- (fromIntegral i)))
                                  itemsv = Vector.map item  $ Vector.enumFromN 0  (size-1)
                                  itemPack = ItemPack (Just itemsv) Nothing
                              putStrLn "getItems"
                              return itemPack

which is strict and has improved Vector generation vs its alternative based on my original implementation:
getItems _ mtname mtsize = do let size = i32toi $ fromJust mtsize
                                  item i = Item mtname (Just $ Vector.fromList $ map itoi32 [i..100])
                                  items = map item [0..(size-1)]
                                  itemsv = Vector.fromList items
                                  itemPack = ItemPack (Just itemsv) Nothing
                              putStrLn "getItems"
                              return itemPack

Notice that there is no HashMap sent. The first version gives time 12338.2 ms and the second is 11698.7 ms, no speedup :(
Update 3
I reported an issue to Thrift Jira
Update 4 by abhinav
This is completely unscientific but using GHC 7.8.3 with Thrift 0.9.2 and @MdxBhmt's version of getItems, the discrepancy is significantly reduced.
C++ server and C++ client:

Sending 100 pings:                     8.56 ms

Transferring 100000 items to server:   207.59 ms

Haskell server and C++ client:

Sending 100 pings:                     24.95 ms
Recieved:                              3906.25 kB

Transferring 100000 items from server: 233.74 ms
Transferring 100000 items to server:   913.07 ms

Multiple executions were performed, restarting the server each time. The results are reproducible.
Note that the source code from the original question (with @MdxBhmt's getItems implementation) will not compile as-is. The following changes will have to be made:
getItems _ mtname mtsize = do let size = i32toi $! fromJust mtsize
                                  item i = Item mtname (Just $!  Vector.enumFromN (i::Int32) (100- (fromIntegral i)))
                                  itemsv = Vector.map item  $ Vector.enumFromN 0  (size-1)
                                  itemPack = ItemPack (Just itemsv) Nothing
                              putStrLn "getItems"
                              return itemPack

getVector _ mtsize       = do putStrLn "getVector"
                              let size = i32toi $ fromJust mtsize
                              return $ Vector.generate size itoi32

A: The Haskell implementation of the basic thrift server you're using uses threading internally, but you didn't compile it to use multiple cores.
To do the test again using multiple cores, change your command line for compiling the Haskell program to include -rtsopts and -threaded, then run the final binary like ./Main -N4 &, where 4 is the number of cores to use.

A: Everyone is pointing out that is the culprit is the thrift library, but I'll focus on your code (and where I can help getting some speed)
Using a simplified version of your code, where you calculate itemsv:
testfunc mtsize =  itemsv
  where size = i32toi $ fromJust mtsize
        item i = Item (Just $ Vector.fromList $ map itoi32 [i..100])
        items = map item [0..(size-1)]
        itemsv = Vector.fromList items

First, you have many intermediate data being created in item i. Due to lazyness, those small and fast to calculate vectors becomes delayed thunks of data, when we could had them right away.
Having 2 carefully placed $!, that represent strict evaluation :
 item i = Item (Just $! Vector.fromList $! map itoi32 [i..100])

Will give you a 25% decrease in runtime (for size 1e5 and 1e6).
But there is a more problematic pattern here: you generate a list to convert it as a vector, in place of building the vector directly.
Look those 2 last lines, you create a list -> map a function -> transform into a  vector.
Well, vectors are very similar to list, you can do something similar!
 So you'll have to generate a vector -> vector.map over it and done. No more need to convert a list into a vector, and maping on vector is usually faster than a list!
So you can get  rid of items and re-write the following itemsv:
  itemsv = Vector.map item  $ Vector.enumFromN 0  (size-1)

Reapplying the same logic to item i, we eliminate all lists.
testfunc3 mtsize = itemsv
   where
      size = i32toi $! fromJust mtsize
      item i = Item (Just $!  Vector.enumFromN (i::Int32) (100- (fromIntegral i)))
      itemsv = Vector.map item  $ Vector.enumFromN 0  (size-1)

This has a 50% decrease over the initial runtime.

A: You should take a look at Haskell profiling methods to find what resources your program uses/allocates and where.
The chapter on profiling in Real World Haskell is a good starting point.

A: This is fairly consistent with what user13251 says: The haskell implementation of thrift implies a large number of small reads.
EG: In Thirft.Protocol.Binary
readI32 p = do
    bs <- tReadAll (getTransport p) 4
    return $ Data.Binary.decode bs

Lets ignore the other odd bits and just focus on that for now. This says: "to read a 32bit int: read 4 bytes from the transport then decode this lazy bytestring."
The transport method reads exactly 4 bytes using the lazy bytestring hGet. The hGet will do the following: allocate a buffer of 4 bytes then use hGetBuf to fill this buffer. hGetBuf might be using an internal buffer, depends on how the Handle was initialized.
So there might be some buffering. Even so, this means Thrift for haskell is performing the read/decode cycle for each integer individually. Allocating a small memory buffer each time. Ouch!
I don't really see a way to fix this without the Thrift library being modified to perform larger bytestring reads.
Then there are the other oddities in the thrift implementation: Using a classes for a structure of methods. While they look similar and can act like a structure of methods and are even implemented as a structure of methods sometimes: They should not be treated as such. See the "Existential Typeclass" antipattern:

*

*http://lukepalmer.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/haskell-antipattern-existential-typeclass/
One odd part of the test implementation:

*

*generating an array of Ints only to immediately change them to Int32s only to immediately pack into a Vector of Int32s. Generating the vector immediately would be sufficient and faster.

Though, I suspect, this is not the primary source of performance issues.

A: I don't see any reference to buffering in the Haskell server.  In C++, if you don't buffer, you incur one system call for every vector/list element.  I suspect the same thing is happening in the Haskell server.
I don't see a buffered transport in Haskell directly.  As an experiment, you may want to change both the client and server to use a framed transport.  Haskell does have a framed transport, and it is buffered.  Note that this will change the wire layout.
As a separate experiment, you may want to turn -off- buffering for C++ and see if the performance numbers are comparable.

Legal Empowerment
The Global Justice Clinic works to advance the rights of Haitians outside of Haiti–Haitian immigrants. Impacted by anti-Black racism, xenophobia, and language barriers, Haitian immigrants are marginalized in destination countries throughout the Western Hemisphere. GJC partners with Haitian-led immigrant rights' organizations in the U.S., Haiti and elsewhere, supporting Haitians to expose injustices and combat marginalization.
In January 2022, GJC launched Rights without Borders: Haitian Migration, Hemispheric Anti-Blackness, & Legal Empowerment Across the Americas, a collaborative project with NYU's Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics. Rights without Borders aims to use legal empowerment as a tool to fight the racism and anti-migrant policies that Haitian diaspora communities are confronting across the Americas. Building a hemisphere-wide coalition of Haitian leaders and advocates, Rights without Borders will facilitate the sharing of strategies, creation of know your rights resources, and coordination of advocacy across borders.
In partnership with Ralph Thomassaint, the Hemispheric Institute's inaugural Mellon Journalist-in-Residence and former Editorial Director of AyiboPost, GJC is creating a series of videos highlighting the work of Haitian activists and Haitian-led organizations who are advocating for Haitian migrants in various countries throughout the hemisphere.
Rights without Borders builds on GJC's past work advancing Haitians' rights in the United States. In 2021, GJC partnered with the Haitian Bridge Alliance, the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, and Fried Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, to file FOIA requests seeking records concerning the rapid, summary expulsions and deportations of Haitians seeking refuge in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic. In October 2020, GJC partnered with NAACP's Legal Defense Fund to hold a two-day virtual convening with over 400 participants entitled "Immigration, Racial Justice and Equal Protection: The Legacy of Jean v. Nelson." A companion podcast explored the intersection of immigration and racial justice, centering the challenges that Haitian–and more broadly, black immigrants–face as the targets of anti-black racism in the United States.
In 2017, GJC published a report arguing for an extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti. Since then, GJC staff have contributed to the legal efforts to preserve TPS for Haiti, participated in the successful advocacy effort to win redesignation of Haiti for TPS, and trained dozens of attorneys to better serve members of the Haitian community as they seek protection through TPS.

Gurratan Singh: I would describe my style as a blend of modernity and tradition. I honour my roots by celebrating my distinct identity, but also keep it modern with my tailored suits and clothing.
TorontoVerve: Is there anyone in particular who inspires your style?
GS: Aside from my brother, it would have to be model/actor Waris Ahluwalia, most famous for his recent Gap ads. For all Sikh men, he's an amazing style icon.
TV: How does fashion play in your law profession?
GS: Fashion plays into law in a very direct way. I'm a Lawyer, so my style reflects the confidence, strength and professionalism I present in the courtroom.
TV: Where do you have your clothes tailored?
GS: I get my clothes tailored from everywhere, but the bulk of it is from Delhi and Punjab tailors.
TV: What is your proudest moment in life?
GS: It wouldn't be one exact moment. The proudest feeling I have is when I can connect with a community and push forward an agenda that creates positive change. I've done a lot of work that involves youth in the community and some of my proudest moments are when I see them become self-empowered to become agents of change.
TV: You're planning on running for Regional Councillor for Ward 9 and 10 in Brampton. What has inspired you to run?
GS: Brampton is an amazing community, full of people from all over the world. But Brampton isn't getting the representation it deserves. Our current council doesn't represent the community, has serious issues of accountability and transparency, and is not working to create a livable city. Brampton needs a fresh start, I want to work towards building a better community where people come to live, work and play.
TV: Has your brother (NDP MPP Jagmeet Singh) given you any advice on your campaign?
GS: My brother is one of my main sources of guidance and encouragement. He's often said when you're in a role of service that's when you can see what you're really capable of. There's a quote from Booker T. Washington, "If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else." I very much believe that. By working to help create a better community, and creating a campaign where we work to empower young people, I've experienced a lot of personal growth, its a beautify thing.
Gurratan Singh has previously appeared on TorontoVerve with his brother Jagmeet and in our recent TIFF tribute.

Google to fund distribution of 15,000 free Raspberry Pis
By Will Dalton published 29 January 13
Google has linked up with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to fund the distribution of 15,000 free microcomputers across schools in the UK.
Six other educational partners – CoderDojo, Code Club, Computing at Schools, Generating Genius, Teach First and OCR - will now help determine which schools will be given their very own Raspberry Pi, as the project seeks to engage more children with computer coding.
OCR will also be creating 15,000 free teaching and learning packs to accompany the Raspberry Pis, providing schools with a full starter kit to hone young coders.
Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt visited Chesterton Community College in Cambridge this morning alongside Raspberry Pi co-founder Eben Upton to announce the partnership (pictured above).
"We're absolutely made up over the news; this is a brilliant way for us to find kids all over the country whose aptitude for computing can now be explored properly," the foundation has said on its website.
"We believe that access to tools is a fundamental necessity in finding out who you are and what you're good at. We want those tools to be within everybody's grasp, right from the start."
The low cost, accessible computers have been widely praised for their ability to help educate children and students in the fundamentals of computing. Indeed, the Raspberry Pi picked up an extremely rare 10 out of 10 in our review last year, and has now shipped over 1 million units.

Abdelkader, N. F., S. M. Ibrahim, P. E. Moustafa, and M. A. Elbaset, "Inosine mitigated diabetic peripheral neuropathy via modulating GLO1/AGEs/RAGE/NF-κB/Nrf2 and TGF-β/PKC/TRPV1 signaling pathways.", Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie, vol. 145, pp. 112395, 2022. Abstract
Inosine is a dietary supplement that is widely used for managing numerous central neurological disorders. Interestingly, recent experimental investigation of inosine revealed its potential to promote peripheral neuroprotection after sciatic nerve injury. Such investigation has guided the focus of the current study to expose the potential of inosine in mitigating diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in rats and to study the possible underlying signaling pathways. Adult male Wistar rats were arbitrarily distributed into four groups. In the first group, animals received saline daily for 15 days whereas rats of the remaining groups received a single injection of both nicotinamide (50 mg/Kg/i.p.) and streptozotocin (52.5 mg/Kg/i.p.) for DPN induction. Afterward, inosine (10 mg/Kg/p.o.) was administered to two groups, either alone or in combination with caffeine (3.75 mg/Kg/p.o.), an adenosine receptor antagonist. As a result, inosine showed a hypoglycemic effect, restored the sciatic nerve histological structure, enhanced myelination, modulated conduction velocities and maintained behavioral responses. Furthermore, inosine increased GLO1, reduced AGE/RAGE axis and oxidative stress which in turn, downregulated NF-κB p65 and its phosphorylated form in the sciatic nerves. Inosine enhanced Nrf2 expression and its downstream molecule HO-1, resulting in increased CAT and SOD along with lowered MDA. Moreover, pain was relieved due to suppression of PKC and TRPV1 expression, which ultimately lead to reduced SP and TGF-β. The potential effects of inosine were nearly blocked by caffeine administration; this emphasizes the role of adenosine receptors in inosine-mediated neuroprotective effects. In conclusion, inosine alleviated hyperglycemia-induced DPN via modulating GLO1/AGE/RAGE/NF-κB p65/Nrf2 and TGF-β/PKC/TRPV1/SP pathways.

Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by abnormal involuntary movements together with cognitive impairment and disrupted mood changes. 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP) is one of the chemo-toxic models used to address the striatal neurotoxicity pattern encountered in HD. This study aims to explain the neuroprotective effect of nano-formulated ivabradine (nano IVA) in enhancing behavioral changes related to 3-NP model and to identify the involvement of ras homolog enriched striatum (Rhes)/mammalian target of rapamycin (m-Tor) mediated autophagy pathway. Rats were divided into 6 groups, the first 3 groups received saline (control), ivabradine (IVA), nano IVA respectively, the fourth received a daily dose of 3-NP (20 mg/kg, s.c) for 2 weeks, the fifth received 3-NP + IVA (1 mg/kg, into the tail vein, every other day for 1 week) and the last group received 3-NP + nano IVA (1 mg/kg, i.v, every other day for 1 week). Interestingly, nano IVA reversed motor disabilities, improved memory function and overcame the psychiatric changes. It boosted expression of autophagy markers combined with down regulation of Rhes, m-Tor and b-cell lymphoma 2 protein levels. Also, it restored the normal level of neurotransmitters and myocardial function related-proteins. Histopathological examination revealed a preserved striatal structure with decreased number of darkly-degenerated neurons. In conclusion, the outcomes of this study provide a well-recognized clue for the promising neuroprotective effect of IVA and the implication of autophagy and Rhes/m-Tor pathways in the 3-NP induced HD and highlight the fact that nano formulations of IVA would be an auspicious approach in HD therapy.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that impairs people's lives tremendously. The development of innovative treatment modalities for PD is a significant unmet medical need. The critical function of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in neurodegenerative diseases has raised impetus in investigating the repositioning of a dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor, alogliptin (ALO), as an effective treatment for PD. As a result, the focus of this research was to assess the effect of ALO in a rat rotenone (ROT) model of PD. For 21 days, ROT (1.5 mg/kg) was delivered subcutaneously every other day. ALO (30 mg/kg/day), delivered by gavage for 21 days, recovered motor performance and improved motor coordination in the open-field and rotarod testing. These impacts were highlighted by restoring striatal dopamine content and correcting histological changes that occurred concurrently. The ALO molecular signaling was determined by increasing the quantity of GLP-1 and the protein expression of its downstream signaling pathway, pT172-AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α. Furthermore, it curbed neuroinflammation via hampering HMGB1/TLR4/NLRP3 inflammasome activation and conquered striatal microglia activation. Pre-administration of dorsomorphin reversed the neuroprotective effects. In conclusion, the promising neuroprotective effect of ALO highlights the repositioning of ALO as a prospective revolutionary candidate for combating PD.

A double-blind study with intra-individual comparisons was carried out to investigate the effects of 15 mg of (8r)-3alpha-hydroxy-8-isopropyl-1alphaH-tropanium bromide(+/-)-tropate (Sch 1000), 15 mg Sch 1000 + 10 mg oxazepam, 10 mg oxazepam and placebo with oral administration in randomized sequence on gastric juice volume, amount of acid, concentration and pH values in 12 healthy volunteers. The secretion parameters were measured during a 1-h basal period and a 2-h stimulation period. The gastric juice was obtained in 15 min portions via stomach tube. Stimulation was effected by 1 mug/kg/h pentagastrin via drip infusion. The Friedman test was used for the comparative statistical evaluation, and individual comparisons were carried out by means of the Wilcoxon test (pair-differences rank). The results show that Sch 1000 and Sch 1000 + oxazepam were equal in effect on basal and stimulated secretion volume. As compared with placebo, it was not possible to establish an effect on secretion volume for oxazepam alone. Sch 1000 and Sch 1000 + oxazepam were found to be equipotent in reducing the amount of basal acid, while oxazepam reduced this quantity only during the first 30 min of basal secretion. None of the three active preparations was capable of inhibiting the stimulated acid, although both Sch 1000 preparations produced a clear trend towards lowered mean values. During the basal secretion period, all three test preparations had an inhibiting action on acid concentration, but none of them had a significant effect during the stimulation period. The pH value was savely increased only by Sch 1000 and Sch 1000 + oxazepam, and this even only during the basal period. The results are discussed.

Medicare is someway related to Medicaid. They are the two federal authorities programs that operate jointly so that they can provide health care coverage to elderly and poor men and women. Even so, they someway different when it will come to the help they supposed for. Drug Treatment Center Indianapolis is designed for individuals who have minimal earnings and for these who really don't have accessibility to other resources. Meanwhile, Drug Treatment Center Indianapolis is the principal healthcare provider for men and women aged 65 and above and even for those with a incapacity. As opposed to Medicaid, Medicare's eligibility has nothing at all to do with revenue level. Medicare can provide a nursing residence that can be damaged into two broad categories: Initial is custodial treatment and then skilled nursing care.
Custodial treatment refers to the aid with everyday residing actions, for example, ingesting, bathing, dressing, and toileting. Custodial care isn't typically eligible for Medicare coverage underneath authentic Medicare which is the Part A and Portion B. You have right here the selection to purchase extended-term treatment insurance policy from an exclusive insurance policies firm that could go over equally skilled and unskilled care.
What is expert nursing care?
•	A person should have a qualifying stay of three inpatient times or even far more.
•	Medicare could go over up to a hundred times for each advantage interval and in purchase to be qualified, you must have days left in your Part A reward period.
•	If the doctor indicates that competent nursing treatment is medically a necessity to heal your problem.
•	You have received the required skilled treatment on a typical basis.
•	A person's nursing house care is supplied in a facility accredited by Medicare.


I probably shouldn't confess this in public, much less put it in writing, but I hate Facebook. If I didn't have my business, I wouldn't be on it.
Why, when I built a business around it, you ask?
Despite the fact everyone is on it and businesses can benefit from that, Facebook is a place full of fake news, people portraying lives they do not live, ridiculous fluff posts, oversharing that goes beyond the boundaries of TMI (too much information)… I could go on.
Facebook is a wonderful tool for businesses to take advantage of to reach their target audience – that's what I enjoy using it for. Helping businesses connect with people.
However I am starting to rethink the whole premise of that in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica breach. It's all over the news, so I am not going to rehash all the details here, but in a nutshell, an analytics company got their hands on data from over 50 million Facebook users without their knowledge or permission and used it to influence the 2016 US election.
Your information. My information. Your mom's information. Your child's information (if they are on Facebook). And it was all exploited to create highly-targeted ads to serve certain purposes.
So let's see, in the past two years Facebook has been overrun by fake news, Russian trolls have run millions of dollars of ads to allegedly influence politics, people were allowed to run ads that targeted racist groups, and now a massive data breach.
As a marketer, we naturally encourage Facebook because that's where the people are. Is it time for us to rethink that? Is it time to take a hard look at the marketing strategies we are putting in place for not only our businesses, but for our clients, and use a strategy that does not involve Facebook?
Blasphemous, I know, but I think the day is coming where we will have to consider social marketing options that do not include Facebook. I'm already exploring other options with my own clients.
Facebook use is down for the first time ever. In my honest opinion, it's about time. Social media addiction is real and Facebook is the culprit.
When working with businesses, Facebook is always the first platform we look at and go to. Why? It's the biggest and it's because it is where everyone is. And it's where the most data is available to run highly-targeted ads. Why is that? Let's think on that a minute.
Think about all the information you put on your profile.
All the pages you like.
All the meaningless quizzes you click on and take.
All of that collects data about you. And that data goes back to Facebook to allow us to create those targeted ads.
Scary on the personal side, amazing on the business side. That's how I describe it.
Really? Making more money is more important than protecting information. Internally, Facebook is a hot mess. My friend and mentor Mark Schaefer had a great suggestion on how they can clean it up – go private. Everything that has ever gone wrong with Facebook all started when they went public and started having shareholders to answer to. As much as I do not like Facebook, I think this may be the right – and smart – move. They need to right the ship or they will sink, and sink fast and hard.
On Wednesday, March 21, 2018, Mark Zuckerberg finally responded to the data breach. You can read his statement below.
Is his response too little too late? Or just another Facebook bandaid?
Personal feelings aside, I put the best interests of my clients first and if it's in their best interest to market on Facebook, then that's what we do. The day may be coming when everyone may have to branch out and away from Facebook and we need to be ready.
In the meantime, if you are not already diversifying your social media marketing strategy and using other platforms, this is the time to start. Look at where else your target audience is and start working on your presence there. You should never solely rely on one platform.
Will this data breach affect your Facebook activity or any strategy for your business?

What Are the Benefits of Pension Plans?
By Monique Georges
Review your pension plan benefits today.
A pension plan is a payment arrangement by employers to provide retirement, disability and death benefits to their employees. While payment of future retirement income is the primary benefit of pensions, most plans also offer tax, insurance and workforce retention features.
Retirement Income Benefit
Pension plans can provide money for your future.
Pension plans gained prominence during World War II, when American employers sought to evade wage controls by awarding fringe benefits packages. Per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employers attracted needed labor by offering indirect salary increases in the form of deferred compensation. This practice stimulated the growth of the pension industry.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the two most common types of pension plans are defined benefit and defined contribution. Defined benefit plans promise a guaranteed payment at retirement. With these traditional plans, the employer pays the retiree either a lump sum or a monthly payment based on salary and years of service. The plan sponsor commits to underwrite this guarantee regardless of underlying investment returns.
Defined contribution plans, by contrast, do not promise a guaranteed benefit at retirement. These plans allow participants to make contributions to their own accounts. Employers can opt to provide matching contributions too. The participant then proceeds to invest the contributions in an array of investment vehicles.
The sufficiency of defined contribution funds at retirement depends on dollars contributed and investment returns. Therefore, the employee shares responsibility for the outcome of his retirement portfolio. The Employee Benefit Research Institute reports that, as more employers recognize the risks associated with retirement funding, they are trending toward defined contribution plans.
Pension plans can provide tax advantages.
Pension plans also provide valuable tax benefits. With an interest in relieving an overburdened Social Security System and the need to incentivize independent savings, the U.S. government has awarded tax-advantaged status to qualified pension plans. Consequently, many pension plans are both tax deductible and tax deferred.
Qualified plan contributions are tax deductible. Tax deductions reduce adjusted gross income and thereby lower overall tax liability.
Pension plan funds are also tax deferred. Interest, dividends and capital gains grow tax free within the account until the participant withdraws the funds during retirement.
Tax deferral benefits investors in two ways. First, as investment earnings grow tax free, the account has a greater potential for accumulation of capital. Second, because participants typically make contributions during higher-earning years and withdraw funds during lower-earning years, retirees pay taxes at a lower rate.
Pension plans can protect you and your beneficiaries.
Pension plans have an insurance benefit in that they often provide payments to disabled beneficiaries and survivors. The pension plans themselves are insured as well. The Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation was formed in 1974 to provide a pension insurance program that guarantees workers' benefits in private pension plans.
Workforce Retention Benefit
Pension plans can help retain valuable employees.
Finally, pension plans provide employers with a tool in retaining workers. "The Watson Wyatt Retirement Attitude Survey" finds that workers who value their retirement plans are more likely to stay with their employer. Therefore, retirement program designs can impact employee behavior and ultimately "deliver favorable economic returns to the organization."

It's about time Legislature fixes state roads, bridges
Six months after Gov. Jerry Brown called a special legislative session for California's badly crumbling roads, legislators have yet to come up with a fix.
You know who has? Congress.
It's true, if shocking. This month, both chambers of Congress, that hyper-polarized federal institution, approved a $305 billion bill to fund highways, bridges and transit.
The bill – the longest reauthorization of federal transportation projects that Congress has approved in more than a decade – is expected to create tens of thousands of jobs in California.
Meanwhile, California legislators still haven't come up with a deal for this state.
Caltrans has a $59 billion backlog of deferred road maintenance, and California was ranked 47th out of 50 states for the efficiency and performance of its roads in a 2013 study.
Behind the scenes in Sacramento, state legislators are trying. The sticking point seems to be money – when is it not? – and specifically, how to coax two-thirds of legislators into supporting the new taxes and fees that a bipartisan plan will require. Improving even the worst of the state's 50,000 miles of roads and its 13,000 bridges will require an annual commitment in the billions.
The difficulty of that commitment is why the state Legislature has taken so long to make it. But while it's never easy to come up with a plan that may require fees and taxes, there's never been a better time to do it. Gas prices are low, and California's roads are only going to get worse.
It's time for the Legislature to do its job of making choices.

REVIEW: The Orville: New Horizons – Episode 2 "Shadow Realms"
Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Jun 9, 2022 |
The thrilling continuation of The Orville: New Horizons, "Shadow Realms," aired last night, bringing a harsh edge of horror into this beloved sci-fi series. The first fifteen minutes drag on for quite a while, causing concerns that this may be an underwhelming episode. Additionally, the new Admiral character, who had a previous relationship with Doctor Finn, gives a rather underwhelming performance, delivering little to no chemistry with Finn.
However, the last forty-five minutes thoroughly redeem the Admiral's character in several ways and more than make up for the initially slow pace, as the groundwork is needed to thoroughly explore the incredible concepts delivered within the episode. Despite this redemption of both plot and character, "Shadow Realms" is not quite as tight an episode, in terms of both character and writing, as "Electric Sheep." Regardless, "Shadows Realms" is still an incredible addition to The Orville's universe and an altogether thrilling and phenomenal episode of television.
**Spoilers**
"Shadow Realms" sees the Orville entering into a trade negotiation with the Krill, who are finally willing to begin peace talks following their unification against the oncoming Kaylon threat. The Admiral comes on board to negotiate with the Krill to gain safe passage through their space into an unexplored part of the galaxy to which the Union has never before had access. Since the Union is still an exploration-first organization rather than a military force – despite the war – they are willing to negotiate strongly to gain access to a new part of the universe. During the meeting, the Krill mention a vast area of space called the expanse, which is free of all stars and planets; just endless nothingness that the Krill call a shadow realm. The Krill religion believes that the shadow realms are inhabited by demons that will possess any who dare enter them and convert them into monsters. The Orville ignores this warning and proceeds to enter the mysterious dark realm.
The effect of this strange empty space is made far more poignant when, moments before entering it, the Orville encounters an immense nebula filled with swirling colors and countless stars exhibiting the purest beauty of outer space. The show compares the two as opposites, vast light and colors inverted by endless darkness. Once inside the expanse, the Orville receives a distress call which leads them to a strange-looking space station.
Upon entering the space station, they discover no life whatsoever. In their exploration, the Admiral is sprayed by an unknown organic device but is otherwise unharmed – until he gets back on the ship, where he quickly transforms into a horrific new species, a monster. Using his vast intelligence, which is still intact, the Admiral shuts off all power to the Orville and begins hunting the crew, transforming any he comes across into monsters like himself. The remainder of the episode descends into the realm of horror as the crew is stalked in the piercing darkness of both the ship and the endless space around them.
These creatures, driven only by their need to reproduce, are brought to life with stellar CGI and practical effects, culminating in some sequences of true body horror as crew members are ripped apart from the inside to become these nightmare monsters.
The surviving members of the crew must work together to restore power to the ship and give Doctor Finn the resources necessary to come up with a virus that can kill the immunodeficient new species. These strange creatures can only reproduce by taking over the bodies of other races and spreading out like a parasite or virus into the galaxy. The distress call was not a distress call but a mating call. With the virus created, Finn confronts the now mutated Admiral and gives him a final chance to leave and stop killing her crew before she exterminates them all. This Doctor Who-like "I must give them a chance" moment effectively depicts the morality of this crew and this show. They are not soldiers; they are not warriors; they are explorers who want to preserve the universe, but their curiosity drives them to understand as much of it as possible. That is the key beauty of this show and Star Trek.
During the final confrontation between Finn and the mutated Admiral, the Admiral speaks again in a powerful moment, showing that his intelligence had endured through the transformation. His last words, "We will go, but not forever," hold an ominous sway over the crew as they watch the monsters quickly crawl away to a ship that appears out of the darkness. The Orville returns to Union space and decides not to enter the expanse again, closing out the episode.
This episode is very well done – not quite as tight from a character perspective as the previous one, but the concept and the alien horror aspect are the priorities, and in that sense, the episode excels. "Shadow Realms" feels like a true horror film in the style of Alien or Predator, if not rated R. This episode does not just rely on cliché jump scares, which would typically be the staple of a horror episode in a series like this. Instead, it takes genuine effort to make it as frightening as possible while thoroughly developing the concept at the center of the story.
The Doctor Who-like "I must give them a chance" scene is a particularly powerful moment, especially considering the history that Doctor Finn and the Admiral shared. At the end of the day, these monsters were once the crew of the Orville and friends of the survivors. "Shadow Realms" never truly says how many crew members are transformed in this encounter, as the majority of the episode is spent following the main bridge crew, but it could be devastating to the ship's manning numbers. Even though all their lives are held in the balance, common human decency and compassion woo the day in these morally upstanding people. They have to give these new creatures a chance to live, partially because they were once their friends but also because they have a right to live despite everything they have done.
One of the best encounters in "Shadow Realms" is between Isaac and one of the monsters. This creature, who comes from a society with purely organic technology, has never encountered a cybernetic being like Isaac and is rightfully confused by him. However, this monster does not merely attack Isaac or ignore him. There is a level of curiosity and intelligence that leads this creature to investigate Isaac, inspecting him and trying to understand him. Isaac, who is unafraid, merely stands there and lets the creature expend his curiosity. This intelligence and curiosity foreshadow the Admiral's own intelligence, which is revealed at the end of the episode and allows him to finally speak to Doctor Finn again.
Claire and Isaac were once the power couple of the series but were driven apart by the Kaylon war and Isaac's initial betrayal. However, the final moments of the episode hint that a reunification of the two may be at hand. Isaac's encounter with the Admiral at the beginning of "Shadow Realms," where he asks if the Admiral "felt like he was better off with Claire," signals that, in his own way, Isaac still deeply cares for her. Then, at the end of the episode, he returns to her to ask about her wellbeing. An android who struggles with human emotion goes to more effort to be concerned about Claire's feelings than anyone else on the ship. Isaac may seem like a heartless machine, but he often depicts more humanity than anyone else aboard the Orville. Their relationship and shared arcs have been brilliantly written in the past, and this scene sets up a continuation of those. Excitement surrounds them as the audience must wait and see how that evolution between the two of them continues into the future of the series.
This is an incredible episode of The Orville and a phenomenal episode of sci-fi television. "Shadow Realms" introduces a new style to the series to keep it from getting stale. The horror aspect is executed incredibly well, considering it's a sharp genre change from the majority of the series. The character work and the general writing are not quite as tight as the previous one. However, the horror and the plot take precedence. Hence, it excels at what it prioritizes, making it roughly equal to the first.

Sonia Sotomayor v. Frank Ricci
Emily Bazelon writes in Slate:
Judge Sonia Sotomayor is smart and sharp, and her formidable track record on the bench should put to rest any lingering doubts that she isn't. (Speaking of which: Why was the left, or at least the center, criticizing one of its own?) But there is a mystery in Sotomayor's recent history: a brief, unsigned opinion in the difficult race case now before the Supreme Court, Ricci v. DeStefano. Sotomayor punted when Ricci came before her, to such a degree that she raised more questions than she answered.
Ricci is a hard case with bad facts–a case that could do serious damage to Title VII, one of Congress' landmark civil rights laws.
Actually, Ricci is a easy race case with simple facts — a representative example of how Title VII routinely works. It's only a hard case if your goal is to somehow, someway, preserve the dominant "disparate impact" concept.
In 2003, the city of New Haven, Conn., decided to base future promotions in its firefighting force–there were seven for captain and eight for lieutenant–primarily on a written test. The city paid an outside consultant to design the test so that it would be job-related. Firefighters studied for months. Of the 41 applicants who took the captain exam, eight were black; of the 77 who took the lieutenant exam, 19 were black. None of the African-American candidates scored high enough to be promoted. For both positions, only two of 29 Hispanics qualified for promotion.
Something that hasn't been mentioned is that the the liberal complaints about the 2003 test stem from innumeracy about the effects of a small sample size. In the 1999 New Haven firefighter's promotion exam, which didn't cause major protests by the black minister who is the white mayor of New Haven's chief vote-gatherer in the black community, the racial gap in average scores was the same as on the 2003 test. However, in 1999, two blacks scored far enough out toward the right edge of the distribution that they were promoted. In 2003, however, although the average distribution of scores by race was the same, there didn't happen to be any blacks who scored particularly highly relative to the black average. The difference in whether 2 blacks passed in 1999 or 0 in 2003 is just a matter of small sample sizes.
The politicians didn't raise a stink in 1999, but did in 2003, because their statistical sophistication is at the black and white level.
In other situations like this, minority candidates have successfully sued based on the long-recognized legal theory that a test that has a disparate impact–it affects one racial group more than others–must truly be job-related in order to be legal. You can see why New Haven's black firefighters might have done just that. Why promote firefighters based on a written test rather than their performance in the field? Why favor multiple-choice questions over evaluations of leadership and execution? It's like granting a driver's license based solely on the written test, only with much higher stakes. ...
First, the promotional exam wasn't "solely" written. Forty percent of the score was based on oral exam. And the city had attempted to rig the oral results by stacking the panels of out-of-state senior firefighters brought in to judge the oral results by putting two minorities to one white on almost every three man scoring panel.
However, the city's collective bargaining contract with the fireman's union mandated a 60% weighting for the written test? Why? Well, one reason is that the firemen wanted to be evaluated partly objectively. They didn't trust the politicians to be objective in whom they favored to give them orders in life or death situations, so they wanted at least a majority of the score on the promotional exam to be unbiased by racial prejudice.
The district court judge who heard Ricci's case ruled against him and his fellow plaintiffs. They appealed to the 2nd Circuit, the court on which Judge Sotomayor sits. In an unusual short and unsigned opinion, a panel of three judges, including Sotomayor, adopted the district court judge's ruling without adding their own analysis. As Judge Jose Cabranes put it, in protesting this ruling later in the appeals process, "Indeed, the opinion contains no reference whatsoever to the constitutional claims at the core of this case. … This perfunctory disposition rests uneasily with the weighty issues presented by this appeal."
If Sotomayor and her colleagues were trying to shield the case from Supreme Court review, her punt had the opposite effect. It drew Cabranes' ire, and he hung a big red flag on the case, which the Supreme Court grabbed. The court heard argument in Ricci in April. New Haven didn't fare well.
The high court's decision in the case will come in June, before Sotomayor's confirmation hearings. The problem for her will not be why she sided with New Haven over Frank Ricci. The four liberal-moderate justices currently on the court are likely to agree with her, in the name of preserving Title VII as a tool for fair hiring. There's even an outside chance that Justice Anthony Kennedy will follow along. The problem for Sotomayor, instead, is why she didn't grapple with the difficult constitutional issues, the ones Cabranes pointed to. Did she really have nothing to add to the district court opinion? In a case of this magnitude and intricacy, why would that be?
Well, Ms. Bazelon, I think you may find that you just answered your own question! Judge Sotomayor no doubt shares your goals on policy (preserve Disparate Impact) but is much more aware of the facts. If trying to hush up the Ricci case was the best she could come up with, then that's the best anybody on the left could come up with.
Very similarly, the Obama Administration doesn't want to make Ricci the Waterloo of Disparate Impact. The case is both so representative and so well prepared in details (e.g., notice choosing Ricci over his fellow plaintiffs as the lead plaintiff — you know how the left loves to dig up personal scandal on sympathetic-sounding conservatives these days, so I suspect the firemen's lawyers carefully chose a guy with the few skeletons in the closet), that they would be happy if Anthony Kennedy just tersely sent it back to district court for retrial on the facts. (Years later, Frank Ricci would probably get his promotion, but the system would continue.) What Obama is terrified of is the Supreme Court using Ricci as a precedent-setting case.
Hence, Sotomayor's attempt to bury the case is exactly in line with the Obama Administration's desires. Which is hardly surprising, since they nominated her for the Supreme Court.

Q: ngx-extended-pdf-viewer CORS issue when accessing PDF how do i address CORS issue
I have this code <ngx-extended-pdf-viewer [src]="'http://xyz/signed/12172020.pdf'" useBrowserLocale="true" height="100vh"> when i am running the code i get CORS error
Access to XMLHttpRequest at ' 'http://xyz/signed/12172020.pdf' from origin 'http://localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, chrome-untrusted, https.

A: Yeah, the good old CORS problem. It's a protection against hackers. As a side effect, it also drives developers nuts.
Have a look at https://juristr.com/blog/2016/11/configure-proxy-api-angular-cli/ for in-depth information and a solution. However, I'm not sure if Juri's proxy.conf.json file still works. When I needed it two days ago, I had to use a slightly different version:
{
  "/api": {
    "target": {
      "host": "www.beyondjava.net",
      "protocol": "https:",
      "port": 443
    },
    "secure": true,
    "logLevel": "debug",
    "changeOrigin": true
  }
}

The university's first chancellor was Joseph Gibson Hoyt. Crow secured the university charter from the Missouri General Assembly in 1853, and Eliot was named President of the Board of Trustees. Betiid, Eliot solicited support from members of the local business community, including John O'Fallon, but Eliot failed to secure a permanent endowment. Washington University is unusual among major American universities in not having had a prior financial endowment. The institution had no backing of a religious organization, single wealthy patron, or earmarked government support.
During the three years following its inception, the university bore three different names. The board first approved "Eliot Seminary," but William Eliot was uncomfortable with naming a university after himself and objected to the establishment of a seminary, which would implicitly be charged with teaching a religious faith. He favored a nonsectarian university. Yn 1854, the Board of Trustees changed the name to "Washington Institute" in honor of George Washington. Naming the University after the nation's first president, only seven years before the American Civil War and during a time of bitter national division, was no coincidence. During this time of conflict, Americans universally admired George Washington as the father of the United States and a symbol of national unity. The Board of Trustees believed that the university should be a force of unity in a strongly divided Missouri. Yn 1856, the University amended its name to "Washington University." The university amended its name once more in 1976, when the Board of Trustees voted to add the suffix "in St. Louis" to distinguish the university from the nearly two dozen other universities bearing Washington's name.
Yn 1867, the university opened the first private nonsectarian law school west of the Mississippi River. Troch 1882, Washington University had expanded to numerous departments, which were housed in various buildings across St. Louis. Medical classes were first held at Washington University in 1891 after the St. Louis Medical College decided to affiliate with the University, establishing the School of Medicine. During the 1890s, Robert Sommers Brookings, the president of the Board of Trustees, undertook the tasks of reorganizing the university's finances, putting them onto a sound foundation, and buying land for a new campus.
Washington University spent its first half century in downtown St. Louis bounded by Washington Ave., Lucas Place, and Locust Street. By the 1890s, owing to the dramatic expansion of the Manual School and a new benefactor in Robert Brookings, the University began to move west. The University Board of Directors began a process to find suitable ground and hired the landscape architecture firm Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot of Boston. A committee of Robert S. Brookings, Henry Ware Eliot, and William Huse found a site of 103 Acres (41.7 hy hat) just beyond Forest Park, located west of the city limits inSt. Louis County. The elevation of the land was thought to resemble the Acropolis and inspired the nickname of "Hilltop" kampus, renamed the Danforth campus in 2006 to honor former chancellor William H. Danforth.
Yn 1899, the university opened a national design contest for the new campus. The renowned Philadelphia firm Cope & Stewardson won unanimously with its plan for a row of Collegiate Gothic quadrangles inspired by Oxford and Cambridge Universities. The cornerstone of the first building, Busch Hall, was laid on October 20, 1900. The construction of Brookings Hall, Ridgley, and Cupples began shortly thereafter. The school delayed occupying these buildings until 1905 to accommodate the 1904 World's Fair and Olympics. The delay allowed the university to construct ten buildings instead of the seven originally planned. This original cluster of buildings set a precedent for the development of the Danforth Campus; Cope & Stewardson's original plan and its choice of building materials have, with few exceptions, guided the construction and expansion of the Danforth Campus to the present day.
Troch 1915, construction of a new medical complex was completed on Kingshighway in what is now St. Louis's Central West End. Three years later, Washington University admitted its first women medical students.
Yn 1922, a young physics professor, Arthur Holly Compton, conducted a series of experiments in the basement of Eads Hall that demonstrated the "particle" concept of electromagnetic radiation. Compton's discovery, known as the "Compton Effect," earned him the Nobel Prize in physics in 1927.
Yn de Twadde Wrâldkriich, as part of the Manhattan Project, a cyclotron at Washington University was used to produce small quantities of the newly discovered element plutonium via neutron bombardment of uranium nitrate hexahydrate. The plutonium produced there in 1942 was shipped to the Metallurgical Laboratory Compton had established at the University of Chicago where Glenn Seaborg's team used it for extraction, purification, and characterization studies of the exotic substance.
Yn 1947, Gerty Cori, a professor at the School of Medicine, became the first American woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Professors Carl and Gerty Cori became Washington University's fifth and sixth Nobel laureates for their discovery of how glycogen is broken down and resynthesized in the body.
The process of desegregation at Washington University began in 1947 with the School of Medicine and the School of Social Work. During the mid and late 1940s, the University was the target of critical editorials in the local African American press, letter-writing campaigns by churches and the local Urban League, and legal briefs by the NAACP intended to strip its tax-exempt status. Yn maitiid 1949, a Washington University student group, the Student Committee for the Admission of Negroes (SCAN), began campaigning for full racial integration. Yn maaie 1952, the Board of Trustees passed a resolution desegregating the school's undergraduate divisions.
During the latter half of the 20th century, Washington University transitioned from a strong regional university to a national research institution. Yn 1957, planning began for the construction of the "South 40," a complex of modern residential halls. With the additional on-campus housing, Washington University, which had been predominantly a "streetcar college" of commuter students, began to attract a more national pool of applicants. Troch 1964, over two-thirds of incoming students came from outside the St. Louis area.
Yn 1971, the Board of Trustees appointed Chancellor William Henry Danforth, who guided the university through the social and financial crises of the 1970s and strengthened the university's often strained relationship with the St. Louis community. During his 24-year chancellorship, Danforth significantly improved the School of Medicine, established 70 new faculty chairs, secured a $1.72 billion endowment, and tripled the amount of student scholarships.
Yn 1995, Mark S. Wrighton, former Provost at MIT, was elected the university's 14th chancellor. During Chancellor Wrighton's tenure undergraduate applications to Washington University have more than doubled. Sûnt 1995, the University has added more than 190 endowed professorships, revamped its Arts & Sciences curriculum, and completed more than 30 new buildings.
The growth of Washington University's reputation has coincided with a series of record-breaking fund-raising efforts during the last three decades. Fan 1983 nei 1987, the "Alliance for Washington University" campaign raised $630.5 miljoen, which was then the most successful fund-raising effort in national history. Fan 1998 nei 2004, the "Campaign for Washington University" raised $1.55 miljard, which has been applied to additional scholarships, professorships, and research initiatives.
