Pakistani Christian family killed in bomb blast in Karachi
At least 27 men, women and children, among them five members of a Christian family, were killed during a twin blasts in Karachi, Pakistan's commercial hub on Feb. 5. About 133 others were wounded, reports Michael Ireland, chief correspondent, ASSIST News Service.
Aftab Alexander Mughal, Editor, Minorities Concern of Pakistan, says five members of that Christian family of Ibrahim Hyderi, Labour Colony, were killed in the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) blast.
The deceased were; Manzoor Masih and his wife Rosy, daughter Carol, 14, Mrs Parveen Basharat and her daughter Narmal, 12. They went to see a new born daughter of their relative Sheeba who was admitted there. Right after meeting the girl, as they reached the emergency gate of the JPMC, the bomb went off and they all died on the spot.
Mughal says the blast, which apparently exploded in a motorcycle, was so severe it shattered all the windowpanes of the hospital and damaged many of the parked ambulances, cars and motorcycles and other installations.
"The blast has destroyed our universe and become the most horrible tragedy of our life," a family member Pervez Masih told the Daily Times, a local English daily newspaper.
That blast was the second during the day, says Mughal.
The first blast attacked a bus which carrying Shia Muslim mourners to participate in a religious procession to mark the end of the holy month of Muharram. Many claim that these were suicide attacks.
Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, expressing deep grief and sorrow on the bomb explosions, has asked the authorities concerned to start repair work immediately.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah announced compensation of Rs 500,000 (US$6250) for the heirs of those killed in the two blasts in Karachi and Rs 100,000 (US$1250) for each injured. Several political and religious parties have announced a three-day mourning in the city.
According to Mughal, this was the second biggest blasts occurred in Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city, in the last three months. During the previous blast on Dec. 28, 2009 at least 44 people died and 87 injured.
Mughal writes the twin suicide attacks in the port city of Karachi seem to have been carried out by the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LJ), which is the most violent al-Qaeda-linked anti-Shia terrorist group operating in Pakistan with the help of its lethal suicide squad, The News, an English daily, says.
Mughal states that for the last several years Pakistan has been a prime target of terrorist attacks. According to Pak Institute for Peace Studies, in 2009, 2,586 terrorist, insurgent and sectarian-related incidents were reported that killed 3,021 people and injured 7,334.
Mughal goes on to say many innocent Christians were also killed during these terrorist attacks. Although the Taliban took responsibility for these attacks, right wing parties (especially Imran Khan's Tehrik-e-Insaf and Jamaat-e-Islami) also give justifications to these attacks.
According to a media report, "Pakistan's feared Taliban network claimed responsibility for that attack, sparking riots that caused huge financial losses."

Pair indicted for growing marijuana in Lassen…
Pair indicted for growing marijuana in Lassen National Forest
By Rich Greene |
SACRAMENTO >> Two men were indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday in connection to a marijuana grow in the Lassen National Forest in Tehama County.
United States Attorney Benjamin Wagner announced the jury returned a two-count indictment against Carlos Cortez, 29, of Fresno and Ismael Rameriz, 24, of Modesto, charging them with conspiracy to distribute marijuana and manufacture of marijuana.
According to court documents, in June 2014, during an aerial flight, Tehama County Sheriff's deputies saw a large marijuana cultivation site near North Fork Antelope Creek.
On July 11 a multi-agency taskforce searched the marijuana cultivation site.
Before they entered the site, agents saw Cortez and Rameriz watering marijuana plants.
When agents entered, Cortez and Rameriz fled, but were quickly captured.
A total of 6,636 marijuana plants were seized and destroyed at the cultivation site.
The case was the product of an investigation by the Tehama County Sheriff's Department, the United States Forest Service, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Assistant United States Attorney Olusere Olowoyeye is prosecuting the case.
If convicted, the defendants face a maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Any sentence, however, would be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.

Direct vent gas fireplaces are very popular because they allow you to have a vented gas fireplace without a masonry chimney. Instead of requiring custom-built structures, these vented gas fireplaces use special double-wall pipe and can be vented horizontally through a wall or vertically through a roof. This allows items likea vented propane fireplace to be very flexible in terms of placement and much easier to install than traditional wood fireplaces. You'll also find that most direct vent fireplaces feature a high efficiency rating, thanks to glass doors that radiate heat while preventing warm room air from being lost up the flue.
Do I have to buy a barrier screen?
Commencing on January 1, 2015, new legislation went into effect that requires all glass fronted hearth appliances that exceed a 172 degree glass surface temperature to have a safety barrier screen as a standard feature. Many manufacturers redesigned their appliances ahead of this date to include a barrier screen as standard, while others made the screen a required add on. To stay in compliance while still giving our customers a choice, we do not require the purchase of a separate barrier screen in cases where the manufacturer does not make it a standard feature. However, the screen will always be presented as a purchase option and is highly recommended. An example of a unit with the screen listed as a configuration option is the Empire Tahoe Deluxe. As you will see, the screen is listed under the first configuration step for this unit. It is important to note that almost all hearth appliances allow removal of the screen after purchase, if the customer so desires.
What is your smallest depth model direct vent LP fireplace?
The shortest depth we would have available would be about 16 3/8".
We have a new Cape (single story, unfinished walk up attic, with a 10/12 roof pitch). We would like to install a see through gas fireplace on the first floor that would have a floor to ceiling wall and we would be able to walk around either end of the fireplace (it will not be attached to an outside wall). I like the idea of a direct vent fireplace, but have a few questions. 1) What is the size of the vent required? 2) Does the vent need to run vertical, or can it have bends in it? 3) Can it be vented through an eave soffit or does it need to be vented through the roof? 4) If vented through the roof, what height does the top of the vent need to be? 5) Can installation be completed by a DIY-er, or should it be left to a professional?
can you use fire glass in a direct vent fireplace?
Direct Vent units have specific media rated for their use, so you will have to find a model that offers glass media for its burner.
No, that can not be done.
I have a Superior Direct Vent model DR 600CMP. The blower is very noisy. Can I use the fireplace without the blower and if I do, will it provide heat to the room?
You can indeed use your fireplace without the blower and still have heat radiate from the glass front.
Which units do not need any batteries for remotes used as receivers for the fireplace?
All of our units that have receivers will need batteries.
Can these gas fireplaces be used with or be converted to be used with propane?
Most all direct vent gas fireplaces may indeed be converted to a different gas type.
I am looking to add a fireplace to a new location in my home. I want to place my large TV above the fireplace, in an alcove to prevent direct heat from hitting the TV. I do not want to TV up extremely high on the wall, and it is important that the TV and fireplace look balanced. I am looking for a long, rectangular fireplace (mirroring the shape of the TV).
Based on your needs, you may be interested in the Superior DRL3054 Pro Series 54" Linear Direct Vent Fireplace with Fire Glass and Standard Remote.
What does direct vent mean?
Direct vent means that the unit has a closed glass front, and the venting for the unit is double walled. The inner pipe exhausts flue gases while the outer pipe draws in air for combustion.
Can I do a basement install with a direct vent LP gas log fireplace?
Yes, a direct vent fireplace can indeed be installed in a basement. If you are horizontally terminating the venting system, the horizontal termination cap will need to be at least 12" above grade (perhaps more per your local code or the manufacturer). We have snorkel termination caps available to help achieve this clearance, if needed for your application. Please let us know if there is a specific model that you have questions about and we can provide more specific information.
Is there a direct vent fireplace that can burn wood as well?
No. All direct vent fireplaces can only be used to burn natural gas or propane.

What was the name of the person?

The truth and nothing but the truth. Elhanan Tennenbaum, the Israeli businessman who was kidnapped by Hizbullah in 2001, appeared before a court in Tel Aviv on Wednesday to explain the circumstances that led to his kidnapping.
Upon his release from Hizbullah captivity in 2004 Tannenbaum requested the State grants him immunity from having to give details of dodgy business dealings that led to his kidnapping in Dubai by Hizbullah operatives, but the State turned down his request.
Tennenbaum testified in the trial of two men accused of income tax fraud of which he is also a suspect.
Tennenbaum told the court that he had left Israel using his passport and that he used a false identity abroad.
He was set to receive USD 200,000 for advising dealers on how best drugs could be smuggled into Israel undetected.
He acknowledged that Qais Obeida, an Arab Israeli citizen living in Lebanon and wanted by Israel for connections with Hizbullah, had suggested he assist the smugglers with the plot.
"I can tell people that if they import a washing machine to Israel, it is tax free and therefore they won't have to undergo massive checks by the income tax. That's an example of my capabilities. My job was to explain what the income tax regulations in Israel are," the retired colonel said.
Tennenbaum refused to answer whether he was under the influence of drugs at anytime.
He told the court that he left Israel on his own initiative and that upon his return he didn't confess the details of the drugs deal to interrogators.
Tennenbaum signed a deal with the State Prosecutor whereby he is granted immunity from prosecution in return for disclosing all the details of the circumstances that led him to become a captive in the hands of Hizbullah.
The State was concerned that Tannenbaum could have been enlisted as a spy for the Lebanese guerillas.
Under the deal, which falls short of a plea bargain, Tennenbaum is required to undergo a lie-detector test to check the veracity of his claims and the State Prosecutor has the right to press charges against him should he fail the test.
Tennenbaum said that upon his return to Israel part of a prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hizbullah he was unaware that his deeds had prompted a stormy public debate in Israel.
"I didn't know what was happening. I was in a different atmosphere. It was the first time I had seen living people in three years and a quarter, and when the state suggested the deal they heard all I had to say," he said.
Tennenbaum said he was surprised by the State's offer because he thought he would be tried.
"I didn't tell everything to interrogators, I didn't tell them about the drugs deal. I thought I'd be put on trial for using a false identity and for visiting an enemy state," he told the court.
"I am not proud of my deeds. All that happened is a black stain in my past. Since I changed all my life and I am saying the whole truth, although this is not pleasant also for me," he added.

Prime Minister Khan welcomed the increase in Pakistan-EU bilateral trade since the inception of GSP plus scheme.
The Prime Minister apprised the EU High Representative on the current regional situation, including Pakistan's positive role in Afghan reconciliation peace process and deescalating tensions with India.

Adventures with Ragweed is a collection of humorous short stories filled with adventure and family themes.
Ragweed is a tribute to the whimsical part of each of us. Follow this young teen and her best friend, Marney as they travel to Mexico for a fishing trip, where the family is to shoot a pilot for a television show, instead, find themselves in an unexpected sea storm.
Laugh out loud as Ragweed takes on the tennis elite at the country club or attempts to rearrange their perfectly cut lawns.
Always one to learn new things, this young freckled face gal with the unruly blonde hair, builds a float, rides a horse and grows a garden - always getting into unintentional trouble and conning her friends to partake. Each task done with her own unique vies of the world.
These stories are meant to entertain. It's difficult to narrow it down to one specific genre as the book is a collection of short stories suitable for young adults as well as for an older crowd with a sense of humor. Family Relationships, Friendships, Essays and Humor are categories all presented within the pages of this book.
If you like the outdoors you might enjoy reading about Ragweed's horse riding exploits or her compost-creating stunts. She spends a great deal of time playing sports and in the garden. Most of the stories are based on the author's own experiences when she was a young adult but some of us know that inner youth tends to follow us into adulthood - so if you have similar backgrounds, these tales will make you grin.
Each story in this humorous collection is beautifully illustrated. The pictures capture the character and facial expressions of the gals in these short stories and in our opinion add to the text. There is also an animated video on the author's page that is worth watching. The artist tried to capture the fun-spirited character of Ragweed and when the pictures were put into film, the story came alive visually. It's like a short cartoon.
Linda Lou Crosby is a video producer, storyteller and former professional athlete. Like Ragweed, she has a unique approach to life. Ragweed is a part of herself she wanted to share with others. Linda Lou has a great sense of humor and likes to laugh and make others laugh too.
She currently lives with her husband in Montana and California where on clear days you can find her fishing, hunting or hiking.
She and Ragweed hope you will enjoy each tale in this book as much as Ragweed enjoyed living the adventures.

We owe so much to fascinating historical figures like Champlain and his contemporaries, who have left us documented evidence of our noble beginings as a people of Canada. Indeed, we can rejoice at the fact that the French explorers and his fellow artisans established a good relationship between themselves as 'new settlers' in a totally different environment. Amazingly, friendly rapports between themselves, the visitors and the Natives, their hosts would rapidly bring on, equal partnering and sharing of the land and waterways contributed to everlasting alliances in the future.
As most people around the globe will attest, nothing could ever bring people closer together then to share great food and hospitality at once!

The Acadian parishes during the 'Golden Age' of Acadie:
Church Parishes of Greater Acadia before Le Grand Dérangement
According to André-Carl Vachon, "Laval, François de," in DCB, 2:370, & online, ecclesiastical parishes in New France were not formally created until after May 1679, when King Louis XIV issued a decree authorizing the Bishop of Québec to create them. Before that, the habitants of New France, including those in Acadia, were served in their settlements by traveling missionaries, not resident priests. White,DGFA-1, xvii-xxii; & White, DGFA-1 English, xxv-xxxii, provide the "foundation" dates of parishes in greater Acadia, beginning with Port-Royal in 1636 and ending with Rivière-du-Nord-Est and Pointe-Prime, on Île St.-Jean, in 1752.

About Acadie
It was brought to my attention many times during my career as a Heritage guide, that the History pertaining to the Acadian culture, to previous generations of French Louisianians, may not have been carried out thoroughly, by the school institutions, if it was at all...
No surprises there, it does not seem to have been part of the school curicullum in many places of the world just yet. As for the Louisiana context, it was requested that some simple yet effective remedy be presented during what was then, a most appropriate year in which Louisiana, was celebrating the 300th anniversary of its French Heritage, and the second Acadian World Congress (C.M.A.) back in 1999.
So, this little text aimed at presenting a condensed overview of this special place that exists in the hearts of millions all over the world. This Acadie of a new millennium and all its inheritance reveals itself to the world with its prettiest charms...
A place so mysteriously beautiful and yet so unknown…
If you will, come with me and let's open the book of time as we glimpse at Acadie's very beginnings, to present days;
It is on the Nova Scotia peninsula that we see the first signs of its existence, well over 400 years ago. This magnificent and most easterly province of the Canadian Maritimes is where the first French explorers, gentlemen and artisans have landed all the hopes of their hearts and undertook to start all over, in the "New World"... To be precise, after nearly two months of travel on rough seas, La Have, Nova Scotia is where the men kneeled and embraced the soil, for they had finally touched what until then, was but a dream...
Regardless of the names given at various epoch, the territory remains the same, the mysterious beauty of Acadie shines like a star in the ages...
One may suspect that the Basque and Breton fishermen, who had clandestinely scanned the great fishing banks of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland since the mid fifteen hundreds, had long earned the trust from the aboriginals of the area known as Mi'kmaq Indians. Few written records of that exciting era exist, except some fascinating hieroglyphs carved on rocks at Kedjimkujik, N.S. Needless to say, no version of our Canadian History would be proper if the "First Nation" of its huge territory was not spoken of, as the initial settler.
As little as we know on the Mi'kmaq Culture, we now know that these people are descendants of the Paleo-Indian. People who have left us, beneath layers of earth by the Bay
of Cobequit, N.S. artefacts dating to 10,600 years back in time.
(Débert, N.S.) Their organized presence in this region of America this far back in time made the scholars rethink the notions of the "old" versus the "new" world... Somehow, for you and I, knowing their heritage to be ever so deeply rooted in time through immemorial traditions and relations with the land, surely has to make us save a special place for the Aboriginals.
The French people will most definitely learn from observing them in their customs and lifestyles. Located in parts of Maine, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick Prince Edward Island (see text below) and the Gaspé Peninsula, the Mi'kmaws form a "family" or tribe of the Grand Algonkian Nation. In a uniquely spoken language, they referred their areas in specific terms of their own.

Government Readies Youth Corps To Take On Vets

"Ten minutes into arrant mayhem in this town near the Mexican border, and the gunman, a disgruntled Iraq war veteran, has already taken out two people, one slumped in his desk, the other covered in blood on the floor," begins a shocking New York Times article reporting on how the Boy Scouts are being trained to take on domestic terrorists, which apparently would include war veterans and American citizens if the Homeland Security definition of a terrorist is to be applied.
Homeland Security and the FBI are behind the effort to indoctrinate and train the Boy Scouts to become tomorrow's Gestapo. "Our end goal is to create more agents," April McKee, a senior Border Patrol agent, told the Times. "Before it was more about the basics," said Johnny Longoria, a Border Patrol agent. "But now our emphasis is on terrorism, illegal entry, drugs and human smuggling."
Is this the literal creation of Hitler-Jugend style youth brigades designed to act as the front line for eventual programs of mass internment and gun confiscation in the advent of a national emergency?
In Nazi Germany, the Hitler Youth succeeded the Boy Scout movement. Hitler Youth training was militarized in comparison to the Boy Scout network, which was largely based around education. Boys aged fourteen and upwards, as well as a separate branch aged 10-14, were trained at preparatory schools to become future Nazi leaders. At its height in 1940, and after it had become mandatory to join, the Hitler Youth boasted no less than 8 million members.
Apparently in a shift away from the traditional Boy Scouts activities of sports, camping, survival skills and team leadership, the government is now training children "to confront terrorism, illegal immigration and escalating border violence" under the banner of the Explorers program, with the aid of military-style exercises aimed at subduing insurgents.
In one scenario, boys are trained how to conduct drug raids and take out an "obstreperous lookout".
"Put him on his face and put a knee in his back," a Border Patrol agent explained. "I guarantee that he'll shut up."
In other situations, Boy Scouts are trained to disarm "suspected terrorists" and subdue them, including Iraq war veterans.
Scouts are trained to identify the enemy. In a competition in Arizona, one role-player wore traditional Arab dress. "If we're looking at 9/11 and what a Middle Eastern terrorist would be like," said A. J. Lowenthal, a sheriff's deputy in Imperial County, California, "then maybe your role-player would look like that. I don't know, would you call that politically incorrect?"
Politically correct or not, Homeland Security and the FBI realize Arabs are not the enemy — "rightwing extremists" are.
Last month, Infowars reported on a document produced by the Department of Homeland Security's National Infrastructure Coordinating Center identifying advocates of the Second Amendment, veterans, pro-life activists, and militia members as dangerous terrorists. A subsequent DHS document, entitled "Domestic Extremism Lexicon," pinpointed "antigovernment" types "rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority" as possible terrorists. "Islamic groups are specifically excluded from this document," writes Benjamin Sarlin for the Daily Beast.
The new Gestapo Boy Scouts program will train the new Hitler Youth — or Obama youth — for the challenges of a totalitarian globalist future. As the planned implosion of the economy unfolds and unemployment increases, the federal government is picking up the slack. "In the wake of the huge stimulus package to jumpstart the economy, plenty of new positions are being created by 2010. The agencies that will benefit include the Defense, Commerce, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs departments," writes Judi Hasson for Fierce Government.
Gestapo Scouts will be required to combat "rightwing extremists" who will refuse to turn in their firearms after the next false flag terror attack or engineered pandemic. SWAT Scouts will be called to deal with those who refuse to participate in mandatory vaccinations. Police state Scouts will be the vanguard for Obama's million-man Civilian National Security Corps. "just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the military.
It's up to the New York Times, as the premier "liberal" propaganda outfit, to sell the militarization of the Boy Scouts to the American people, using the standard bugaboos of Arab terrorists, drug cartel thugs, and marijuana cultivators as the example of why all of this is necessary.
In the real world, however, government is not primarily concerned with drug dealers — after all, the government and Wall Street run most of the drugs — they are worried about growing opposition to the destruction of the Constitution and the imposition of world government by a cabal of international bankers and their corporate fascist partners in crime.

Millions of Americans plan to put their finances first in 2013, and have vowed to start budgeting, pay off debt, build their traditional or emergency savings or accomplish a long-standing financial goal. While money-related resolutions are common and often a good idea for households, it's important that consumers take present economic conditions into account when formulating a plan.
Last year was a difficult one for many families whose financial results were beaten down by rising gas prices, inflation and low savings rates. Unfortunately, it appears that some of the economic problems that plagued households last year may be ever present in 2013 as well, according to USA Today. For example, the news source noted that higher prices are expected to prevail in several spending categories, ranging from groceries and rent to college tuition and flights. While rising prices are typically not as problematic if wages rise at the same time, take-home pay is expected to either decrease or remain flat next year.
Chayenne Paullin, a resident of Iowa, told USA Today that her family budget has already experienced problems and rising prices will only make it more difficult to get on a sound financial course.
It's helpful for families to first look at their budgets and determine where they are overspending. For example, going grocery shopping sans coupons and list can generally result in households spending more money than necessary. It may also be a good idea for individuals to assess how much they are paying for utilities, cellphone packages and insurance. While leaving a service they have been loyal to for years might seem difficult, switching to new providers may help families save a great deal of money each month.
Another often overlooked area of savings relates to loan and credit interest rates. Many credit card lenders may be willing to negotiate a lower rate for borrowers, and some mortgage and student loan lenders will also reduce rates for those who enroll in automatic debiting. In addition, families who bundle their home and auto insurance packages typically see reduced rates. Through these small changes, consumers may put themselves in a better position to stick to savings goals and ride out higher costs.


Shinedown has announced the release of their sixth studio album Attention Attention and released the music video for Devil.
The new record will go live on 4th May via Atlantic Records. The lead single Devil is out today along with the track's accompanying video, which was directed by Bill Yukich (Beyoncé, Marilyn Manson, Wiz Khalifa).
The 14-track album is the band's most raw and personal to date. It's a mental, emotional and physical journey that follows an individual from life's lowest lows to the highest highs, as anxieties dissipate and demons disappear.
Album opener and lead single Devil sets the stage for what's to come. The story that unfolds as the album progresses is a powerful statement about the resolve of the human spirit, our will to overcome struggles and the importance of respecting and leaning on one another.
On Kill Your Conscience, a snarling refrain is instigated by the pitfalls of social media. Elsewhere, Get Up is an encouraging lyrical ode set to piano that speaks to struggles with depression.
The energized distortion of The Human Radio is a rousing call to action to keep fighting together for survival and truth. Album closer Brilliant packs a punch as fears finally evaporate and strength returns.
Given the deeply personal nature of the record, Shinedown went in-house for production for the time ever, enlisting bassist Eric Bass to produce and mix the album in its entirety.
Attention Attention ushers in the group's biggest and boldest chapter yet, as they once again uproot convention and deliver a cinematic body of work.

'Wheel of Fortune' and 'Jeopardy' to go without studio audiences over coronavirus concerns
Posted: Mar 10, 2020 / 02:41 AM CDT / Updated: Mar 10, 2020 / 02:41 AM CDT
(CNN)(03/10/20)— Two classic television game shows will go without studio audiences out of concern over the spread of coronavirus.
Citing "an abundance of caution due" over the spread of COVID-19, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune will begin taping episodes without audiences in attendance indefinitely, sources close to the shows tell CNN.
The change marks the entertainment business's latest response to the pandemic.
Movie premieres, concerts, and high profile events like the South by Southwest festival have all been canceled in recent weeks in response to the growing number of cases worldwide.
Experts have said that hand washing and avoiding touching your face are two effective preventative measures.
The Center for Disease Control has also encouraged people over 60 and those with severe chronic medical conditions to "stay at home as much as possible."
Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, age 73, underwent emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage in November.
Jeopardy host Alex Trebek, age 79, is battling pancreatic cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, "cancer patients are among those at high risk of serious illness from an infection because their immune systems are often weakened by cancer and its treatments."

Pares object modeling down to its core concepts, making it easier than ever.
Proven principles and techniques for successfully modeling the structure and operations of any business domain.
Guidelines for finding and associating objects, assembling object models, and distributing system behavior among objects.
Twelve all-encompassing "collaboration patterns"–what they represent, how they relate, and how to apply them.
From start to finish, the book makes extensive use of examples drawn from real commercial applications. To illustrate how streamlined object modeling flows from analysis to code, it also presents a complete case study derived from a real-world application, and implemented in two leading object-oriented languages-Java, and the Squeak implementation of Smalltalk.
This book started as a guide for how to apply object modeling to real-world problems. Our plan was to apply existing patterns and principles to real-world examples and write about the results. However, while working on real-world applications, we uncovered inadequacies in the existing patterns and the associated information-gathering processes. We found two things especially troubling: first, the existing patterns showed only structure and simple behavior; second, there was no method for capturing business rules in terms of objects. Also bothersome was our inability to justify the use of one set of existing patterns over another.
Our consulting and development work gave us the opportunity to experiment with patterns, make refinements, and consider the results. We became particularly interested in finding the primary patterns for representing people, places, things, and events. From those we knew, we could derive all other patterns for modeling business domains. Over time, we distilled a set of 12 patterns and were successfully applying these patterns to many diverse domains. This convinced us that those patterns were the core set of irreducible patterns from which all other patterns could be derived.
Our work also revealed that business rules are encapsulated behaviors of collaborating objects. Just as similar objects appearing in different object models suggested patterns, similar business rules occurring around our core patterns suggested strategies for discovering and organizing business rules around objects. Now we knew we had something powerful. Indeed, once we determined the core patterns and based the business rules organization around them, we made other discoveries: new principles for distributing behaviors and rule-checking among the objects, new modeling techniques utilizing "object inheritance," and new strategies for implementing patterns and business rules.
Together, our discoveries, which are presented in this book, form a methodology that addresses the problems we saw inherent in earlier methods. We are presently applying this method to commercial applications. We are also looking to expand it in two ways: back into business and technical strategies, and further into design and implementation. But, this expansion is a story for another day. This book describes our object methodology and its uses in modeling business domains and implementing business rules. We call this methodology "streamlined object modeling" because its foundation rests on a streamlined set of patterns that organize and accelerate the modeling and implementation process.
The dot-com frenzy encouraged software development trends that put action ahead of thought. Advocates of these techniques were extremely harsh to object modeling, labeling it as an elitist, time-consuming, impractical activity. Well, we beg to differ. We believe in thought before action, and any activity that increases understanding of a problem and decreases the effort of reaching a solution is hardly impractical.
You should read this book if you like thinking through a problem and getting an insightful understanding of it before you try hacking up a solution. This requires some up-front time and effort. But it is not nearly as time-consuming as the trial-and-error programming we observe programmers routinely undertaking to produce code with no apparent organization and that is understandable only to them. With streamlined object modeling, once a problem is modeled in the core patterns, and the business rules described, the implementation is a straightforward application of our strategies and templates. The resulting code reflects the organization of the object model and follows naming standards set in the implementation strategies and templates.
With our core set of patterns, we have moved object modeling from a guru practice closer to a disciplined science. Principles guide object selection, object collaboration, business rule description, behavior placement, and property specification. While it still requires analytical thinking to object model, we have eliminated much of the guesswork for newcomers to object modeling, and provided experienced object modelers with tools for more precise organization and implementation of objects.
When defining any software system, there are three important questions to be answered: why, what, and how. "Why" explains the overall goals and purpose of the system. "What" defines the information, rules, and processes necessary for the system to achieve its goals and purposes. "How" refines each aspect of "what" and creates a blueprint for assembling those aspects into a working system. In short, "why" means discovery of motivation (often called strategy), "what" means requirements analysis, and "how" means application design.
Leaving one or more of these three questions unanswered or incompletely answered increases the difficulty of successfully creating a system. Without motivation (why), it is difficult to weigh the value of features to be analyzed (what). Without knowledge of requirements (what), it is impossible to guess which technologies and design strategies (how) will be best for the final system. While all three questions are important, what is in this book is a great deal about "what."
More specifically, this book describes a method for modeling and implementing information, rules, and processes with object-oriented concepts. While other methodologies cover modeling information and processes with objects, this methodology goes further than most by modeling the rules governing the information and processes. These rules, which are commonly known as "business rules," are a major component of any complete requirements analysis. This book shows not only how to organize business rules around objects, but also provides guidelines for implementing business rules. Examples are provided in Java and Squeak.
Our simple, strong motivation for spending so much time on system business rules is this: they are the rules that make the business work. To put it another way, business rules are the foundation of what businesses will and will not allow. Your bank allows you to deposit money into a checking account and withdraw it when you need it, but it will not allow you to withdraw more than you deposit-at least not without charging you a fee. The rules that define who can put money into your account, who can take it out, and what happens when money moves, are what make the checking account behave the way the bank wants checking accounts to behave. A larger group of these rules, including rules about checking accounts, savings accounts, loans, and what the bank is allowed to do with the money while it is in their hands, is what makes the bank behave the way the bank thinks it should.
A key object-oriented concept is encapsulation: keeping related things together. Business rules make objects behave correctly: they keep the interactions legal, and safe, thereby keeping the system together. We encapsulate business rules inside the business objects they govern so that the mechanisms that bind the system together and keep it from coming apart are held within the business objects. We want the herd of cattle to herd itself; we want the heart to regulate its rhythm; we want the product to track its own inventory. We don't want to have to hire wranglers, wear pacemakers, or build "inventory manager" objects. Too many existing methods proscribe the externalization of business rules. Business rules enforced externally by user interfaces and databases that work across entity objects tend to be more problematic over the life of the system. Such rules are not encapsulated; they are kept in many places, but not necessarily in a logical place, and certainly not with the objects they govern.
Together the business objects and their encapsulated business rules are referred to as the business domain. While the business domain is the major component of the system analysis, requirements for other components are important, too. Part of the "what" of a system includes its user interface analysis and its technical requirements such as load factors, availability, and system scalability. No system analysis is complete without these other aspects. However, without knowing the business rules, the interface design might allow something to happen that it shouldn't. Also, requirements such as load factors, availability, and system scalability are closely tied to business rules. For example, system availability requirements might vary according to company policies preventing system access after business hours. For these reasons, we do not cover user interface analysis or technical requirements gathering. We do, however, encourage you to take whatever you can from this book and apply it in those areas.
This book emphasizes communication and "object" thinking. Just as you tailor your words for your audience, so we tailor our object models. With streamlined object modeling, our primary audience comprises the clients of the analysis. To ensure accuracy of the model, clients must be able to understand it and validate it. For this reason, the models produced use simplified notation and are verbose. When you read the models in this book, remember that these models are not the final design of the system. They are not refined into reusable components, optimized for efficiency, or heavily annotated. They do not include "stereotypes" in any of the diagrams, and class inheritance is not used until the later chapters that deal with prototyping. These concepts, while useful, detract from the client's ability to understand the model.
While reading this book, it will help to imagine you are building a model for a business client. Although you may be tempted to collapse related objects into one generalization, or pull out a reusable policy object, keep in mind that you must explain that generalization or reusable object to your client. Go ahead and make that generalization or policy object in your design, but keep the business object model verbose and simple for the client's sake. Also, there is a difference between verbose and cluttered. Limit the model to only those objects, services, and attributes that are necessary to understand the business rules.
This is not an introductory software development book. While much of the book is non-technical, it does assume a working knowledge of the Unified Modeling Language (the UML) and general object-oriented development terminology. That being said, this book has three primary audiences: business analysts, system analysts, and software developers who receive system requirements and translate them into system designs. Those who belong to more than one of these groups should get added benefits.
For business and systems analysts, this book offers a new method for gathering and organizing business requirements. This method is significant for incorporating business rules into the object model, and for organizing objects in patterns that communicate with the client. A secondary goal is learning how to prototype a modeled system in one of two programming languages: Java or Squeak.
For software developers, this book offers two benefits. First, since the patterns in this book address modeling business requirements in object-oriented terms, the patterns structure business requirements in a format understandable by most developers. When receiving a business object model, developers will better appreciate the meanings behind the objects. When receiving a functional requirements document, developers can use the patterns to transform it into a more object-oriented representation. Second, once the developers understand the 12 patterns and the ways in which the pattern objects interact, the developers can quickly take the business rules of a domain and apply the prototyping guidelines provided in the later chapters. This effectively jump-starts the development process.
The first six chapters of this book outline the activities of streamlined object modeling. These chapters are required reading for business analysts and software developers. Don't skip these chapters if you want a solid understanding of the methodology.
Chapter 1 is a general discussion about the use of object modeling for analysis.
Chapter 2 discusses principles for finding and categorizing objects.
Chapter 3 applies the principles from Chapter 2 to derive the core set of patterns. There are 12 patterns consisting of collaborating pairs of objects. Therefore, we call them collaboration patterns.
Chapter 4 discusses how to organize business rules around objects using the 12 collaboration patterns.
Chapter 5 covers modeling information and business processes and uses the 12 collaboration patterns to distribute processing among the objects.
Chapter 6 explains "object inheritance," a powerful modeling technique for sharing information among objects. Object inheritance underlies several of the collaboration patterns.
Chapters 7 and 8 are geared more toward software developers. They provide guidelines for realizing objects, collaborations, services, and business rules in code. These guidelines are intended to aid understanding of how the methodology translates into a working system, and to validate the business rules through a working implementation. Because they follow from a business object model, and not a refined, optimized system design, the guidelines are not the final story in a coding methodology. We offer them here as a starting point and organizational framework.
Chapter 7 presents an implementation template for translating business objects into programming code. The objective here is to put the code for each object into a common template and establish naming standards and practices to be used later when coding business rules.
Chapter 8 shows how to implement the business rules modeled in Chapter 4 within the templates established in Chapter 7.
Chapters 9 and 10 are for both business analysts and software developers. These chapters examine how collaboration patterns form the basis for new patterns, and structure documentation for business object models.
Chapter 9 presents a "periodic table" of the objects involved in the collaboration patterns. By examining the "chemical properties" of the pattern objects, new patterns can be created by snapping together collaboration patterns through shared objects and by overlaying pattern objects to create new patterns.
Chapter 10 presents documentation outlines we have used to describe streamlined object models. They are by no means the final word on documentation, but show two ways to augment the relationships and rules displayed in the object model diagrams with textual descriptions.
Appendix A lists important principles of streamlined object modeling. It is organized around the core activities and concepts. Each principle refers back to the chapter text where it was first described. Use these principles to guide your object modeling efforts.
Appendix B summarizes the core patterns and concepts of streamlined object modeling in a convenient reference format. Each summary includes hints and examples to assist understanding and application of the pattern or concept. Use these summaries as a quick refresher.

JK Cement join hands with ESSCI and IG Drones to build the future workforce for Indian Drone Industry
New Delhi, December 11: A tripartite MoU was signed between Yadupati Singhania Vocational Education Foundation (YPSVEF) – an initiative by JK Cement, Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) and IG Drones on 25 November 2021
The MoU exchange was carried out in the presence of the honorable dignitaries – Mr. Piyush Chakrobarty, Officiating Head, ESSCI; Mr. Ashish Singh, Head Vocational Education & Skill Development, YPSVEF; Mr. Om Prakash Das, Chief Operating Officer, IG Drones – at ESSCI HQ, Delhi
The Yadupati Singhania Vocational Education Foundation (YPSVEF) is one of India's most advanced and well-equipped skills training centres that have been instrumental in their work, i.e., developing human resources. They are now contributing to the Nation's growth and development on technological and infrastructural fronts. Today, several trainees from these centres have turned out to be the brand ambassadors of skill development, transforming not just their own lives but also their families and communities.
IG Drones association with ESSCI dates back to August 2021, where they collaborated intending to upskill 10 million youth with the advanced Drone technology. Being aligned with the National Education Policy, the collaboration had widened the scope for imparting knowledge related to Drone Technology under Vocational Courses for different age groups with an aim to broaden the horizons for young children, facilitating their growth & improvement.
India is already on the path to emerging as a leader in drone technology. According to the reports by Drone Federation India, there are at least 100 drone manufacturers, 200 drone service providers and over 1 lakh drone pilots in India. And the drone industry is sure to generate around 5-7 lakh job opportunities for people all over the Nation. The only requirement is a cluster of youth, well equipped with knowledge related to drone technology.
" Drone Flying Simulators will power the Center of Excellence along with Industry Standard software to give a firsthand experience of drone flying and field training with safety gears. We also aim at providing performance-based placement support to the trained pilots." Said Mr. Om Prakash Das, Chief Operating Officer, IG Drones
Started in the year 2018, IG Drones is one of India's leading Enterprise Drone Solution providers for drone surveying, mapping & inspection by industry experts. The Drone Centre of Excellence (CoE) by IG Drones is a program to educate students about the newest drone technologies. Through its collaboration with several technical & skilling institutions across the country, it aims at training and enhancing the capabilities of Indian youth, preparing them for the oncoming Industrial Revolution.
"IG Drones COE is an educational arm of India's leading drone enterprise solution provider IG Drones. The COE aims to train and upskill the youth for the future of drone technology to make them industry ready and empower India's drone ecosystem with advanced drone technology skilled resources. I'm sure this collaboration will stand up to its main objective and play a pivotal role in shaping up the Nation's youth and our greater goal of YPSVEF." Explained Mr. Ashish Singh, Head Vocational Education & Skill Development, YPSVEF
The tripartite MoU is sure to beam a whole new varsity into the drone ecosystem in India.
Under this MoU, the parties agreed upon enhancing the training infrastructure of the institutes partnered with ESSCI as well as the young students at the vocational centres of YPSVEF with a common goal to make the future generations of the Nation skilled and capable enough to cope up with the rapid technological advancements.
Mr. Piyush Chakrobarty, Officiating Head, ESSCI, said, "In my opinion, collaborations like these will help the drone segment strengthen its roots in India. Though we have already established ourselves as a leading drone importing Nation with a great amount of usage in all spheres, proper skilling and employment opportunities are essential to ensure its long run. I'm looking forward to the benefits this collaboration is going to bring in."
Thus, this collaboration aims to make the youth more aware of the transformation in drone technology, paving the way for a 'developed' nation. With the next wave of 10 million trained youth surging up with the newer drone ecosystem in place, India will soon be the Drone Hub of the World.
IG Drones COE is an educational arm of India's leading drone enterprise solution providers, IG Drones, headquartered in Delhi. IG Drones COE aims to train and upskill the youth for the future of drone technology to make them industry ready and empower India's drone ecosystem with advanced drone technology skilled resourcing.

Thir13en Ghosts – Movie Review:
Joe Leydon, of the San Francisco Examiner, said of the 2001 'remake' of William Castle's Thirteen Ghosts that is Steve Beck's Thir13en Ghosts that it was "A nightmare come true for fans of seriously scary movies!" Joe Leydon is a liar.
When the film begins, we get a prologue of sorts where an occultist named Cyrus Kriticos (F. Murray Abraham) works with a ghost expert named Dennis Rafkin (Matthew Lillard) and a few others in a junkyard where they're attempting to trap some ghosts. It doesn't end well.
After that, we land in the chaotic apartment of a recently widowed math teacher named Arthur Kriticos (Tony Shaloub) as he struggles to get ready for work. His young death-obsessed son, Bobby (Alec Roberts), is eating breakfast near the hired sitter, Maggie Bess (Rah Digga), while his teenaged daughter Kathy sits nearby. Arthur gets up and trips over Bobby's scooter just as a lawyer named Benjamin Moss (JR Bourne) randomly arrives at the door. It seems that Cyrus, Arthur's estranged uncle, has, for reasons never properly explained, left his massive estate and fortune to Arthur's family. Everyone is stoked, because this will get them out of the apartment, into a huge home and hopefully put an end to their financial trouble.
Moss escorts the four of them to the home, which is… odd to say the least. It looks to be made almost entirely out of glass and has arcane writing all over it. Rafkin arrives outside, posing as an electric company employee, and soon starts ranting about ghosts. He's dismissed as a lunatic at first, but soon, when Arthur's kids vanish into the basement, he starts to take the guy more seriously. As it turns out, Cyrus' house was 'designed by the devil and powered by the dead' and its basement contains a host of ghosts, kept there by that arcane writing, actually spells of protection. The ghosts are only visible to those wearing special glasses that look like the protective goggles you wear on the squash court. Anyway, eventually, another ghost hunted named Kalina Oretzia (Embeth Davidtz) shows up to help Arthur save his kids, but will it be enough when they have to contend with spectral monsters like 'The Juggernaut' and 'The Torso?'
This might be a fun exercise in style over substance if the movie's style weren't dominated by bad early-2000's CGI work, but that's definitely the style employed here. Full marks to KNB effects for some decent looking practical makeup effects in a few scenes, but the CGI here has not aged well at all. On top of that, the story is a mess. If Cyrus is so estranged from the rest of his family, why does he give the house to Arthur, who earlier states that his fabulously wealthy uncle had squandered the family fortune? Should Arthur and his family not be a little worried by the way that the house is laid out? Why are the ghosts only visible if you wear squash glasses? The science behind this is questionable – which is fair, it's a ghost story after all – but the writing just feels sloppy and disjointed. On top of that, there's really zero character development.
It isn't fair to say that the performances are bad, because they're not, it's that the characters are poorly written. Shaloub is fine in his lead role but seems miscast. Elizabeth doesn't have much to do here but she does it well enough, and Alec Roberts is fine as the token kid. Rah Digga has a few amusing lines and Matthew Lillard plays the quirky ghost hunter well enough. Embeth Davidtz is fine. Again, everyone is fine, but the characters are not, they're shallow and dull, which, come to think of it, describes this movie rather well.
Thir13en Ghosts – Blu-ray Review:
Shout! Factory brings Thir13en Ghosts to Blu-ray in a presentation that would appear to be sourced from the same transfer that was used for the Warner Brothers Blu-ray release from a few years back. The image is presented in AVC encoded 1080p high definition and framed at 1.85.1 widescreen, with the feature given a tad under 30GBs of space on the 50GB disc. It's a good transfer that stops short of reference quality, showing nice detail while still looking just a tad soft at times and occasionally struggling with some flatness. Colors look nice, they're reproduced very well, and there are no problems with any noticeable compression issues to gripe about. Skin tones look good, black levels are solid enough even if, during the scenes with a lot of CGI, they can sometimes look a bit lighter than maybe would be ideal.
The English language 24-bit DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track scores full marks. This is a very aggressive track that, once the action moves to the house, is loaded with excellent directional effects and a host of impressive depth. Dialogue always stays clean and clear and the track is perfectly balanced. The score has some strength behind it, as do all of the effects. In short, this sounds fantastic. An optional DTS-HD 2.0 Stereo track is also included and removable subtitles are provided in English only.
Extras start off with a new audio commentary with director Steve Beck, moderated by Justin Beahm, Conducted over Skype due to the current situation, they cover a lot of ground, from the origins of the project to the script to casting the film to what it was like shooting in British Columbia. They cover the effects, the score, the reception to the film and quite a bit of other related content. Carried over from past home video releases is the archival commentary that includes Beck as well as production designer Sean Hargreaves and special makeup effects artist Howard Berger. It's heavy on technical behind the scenes details, covering the genesis of the project, what went into creating the set that became the giant glass house, the blending of digital and practical effects work and more.
Shout! Factory has also put together five new featurettes, starting with Haunted In Canada, an Interview with actress Shannon Elizabeth that runs for ten-minutes and covers her getting cast in the film, working with the director and producer, how she got along with Lillard and Shaloub in particular, the house set, shooting the film in Canada and fan reception to the film almost twenty-years after it was made. The Voice Of Reason interviews actor Matthew Harrison about his time playing Damon (one of the ghost hunter types) in the film for fourteen-minutes. Here we learn about auditioning for the part, his thoughts on his character, working with F. Murray Abraham and Lillard and the makeup effects that he had to deal with on the shoot. The Juggernaut Speaks spends nine-minutes with actor John DeSantis who details how he fell in love with the movies at a young age, his military service, how he got into acting, background on his character, makeup effects from the shoot and more. Herbert Duncanson is up next in the six-minute The Hammer Speaks, where he covers how he lucked into the part, backstory on his character and why he was covered in nails, the makeup that he had to deal with and what it was like on set. The fifth and final new interview is Sophomore Spookshow ,an interview with producer Gilbert Adler that lasts for six-minutes and details forming Dark Castle after finishing up Tales From The Crypt for HBO, remaking The House On Haunted Hill and then this feature, the impressive visual scope of the film and his thoughts on the picture overall.
Thir13en Ghosts Revealed is a nineteen-minute archival featurette that that is made up of cast and crew interviews that cover the story, the location work, the story and effects work. There's nothing amazing in here but it's nice to see it included. Another archival featurette, the fourteen-minute Ghost Files: A Haunted Houseful Of Poltergeist Profiles, lets Cyrus himself introduce the main ghosts that live in the basement of his house, it's moderately amusing.
Also on hand is a forty-three-minute selection of original Electronic Press Kit footage that is made up of a whole lot of cast and crew interviews and behind the scenes footage. Rounding out the extras on the disc is the film's original theatrical trailer, a few TV spots, menus and chapter selection.
As to the packaging, Shout! Factory packages the first pressing of this release with a slipcover and also includes some reversible cover sleeve art featuring their newly created artwork on one side and the original theatrical poster art on the reverse.
Thir13en Ghosts – The Final Word Review:
For a film best described as tepid at best, it's surprisingly how soulless it is for a movie with more than a dozen ghosts contained inside. Shout! Factory, to their credit, have done a nice job putting this package together for the film. The transfer could have been better but it's hardly bad, and the audio is excellent as is the selection of extra features assembled for this release. Fans of the picture will appreciate the effort that's gone into this one but Thir13en Ghosts just didn't work for me at all.

There are many awesome and incredibly beautiful gardens - internal and external. But it's not just a small garden we present, but also a pond in it.
First - cut wooden panels with the required dimensions; connect them with polyurethane adhesive and screws for wood. Place the screening panel at the desired location - in this case we put it on a 1/4 of the total size. This will be your garden, and the rest place - the pond. Position and nail with small nails the net to the corners of the divided box. You can use the net for plasterboard. Paint the inside with waterproofing paint or plaster. Drill two or three holes inside the flower's department on the side of the garden to ensure adequate drainage when watering plants. Plant flowers in the small department and add a little water in the large one. You can add a small fountain pump to achieve better effect.

Q: java.nio vs new thread for each socket I am developping a 1 to many server-client application, which is a small project.
Since socket IO is blocking. I am looking for a solution for this.
Could anyone tell me what is the good/bad for each of the 2 solutions?

*

*use java.nio

*new a single thread for every client that connected.

Thanks

A: There's nothing wrong with either approach. If you have limited clients the second option will suffice (and possibly even thrive based on a multicore architecture), otherwise it might be beneficial to let java.nio manage your resources.
See this question on the same topic, as well as this other post, or why not consider this blog post which argues against using java.nio for most scenarios.

A: Individual threads

*

*You can use the simple InputStream/OutputStream (or Reader/Writer) API, and wrapping Streams around each other. In my current project, I'm using a stack of

*MessageFormatter, a custom formatting class

*PrintWriter

*OutputStreamWriter

*DebugOutputStream (custom class, which makes a copy for debugging purposes)

*DeflatorOutputStream (a custom subclass, in fact, which supports flushing)

*the OutputStream of a SSLSocket

and the other way around on the receiving side. This is quite comfortable, since you only have to deal with the top layer in your program logic (the rest is mostly one constructor call each).

*

*you need a new Thread (or even pair of threads, depending on architecture) for each connection.

(In my project I have a MessageParser-Thread for each connection, which then gives individual jobs to a ThreadPool, and these jobs then may write to one or several of the open connections, not only the one which spawned them. The writing is synchronized, of course.)

*

*each thread needs quite a bit of stack space, which can be problematic if you are on a resource limited machine.

In the case of short-lived connections, you actually don't want a new thread for each connection, but only a new Runnable executed on a ThreadPool, since construction of new Threads takes a bit of time. (Note: With JDK 19, we can get cheap virtual threads. Use these instead, the thread pools are hidden in the background by the platform.)
nonblocking IO

*

*if you have such a multi-layer architecture with multiple conversions, you have to arrange it all by yourself. It is possible:

*

*my MessageFormatter can write to a CharBuffer as well as to a Writer.

*for the Char-to-Byte-formatting, use CharsetEncoder/CharsetDecoder (transfers data between CharBuffer and ByteBuffer).

*for the compressing, I used wrapper classes around Deflater/Inflater, which transfers data between two ByteBuffers.

*for the encryption, I used a SSLEngine (one for each connection), which also uses ByteBuffers for input and output.

*Then, write to a SocketChannel (or in the other direction, read from it).

Still, the management overhead is quite a hassle, as you must track where the data is. (I actually had a two pipelines for each connection, and one or two threads managing the data in all the pipelines, between this waiting on a Selector for new data on the sockets (or for new space there, in the outgoing case). (The actual processing after the parsing of the Messages still took place in spawned Runnables in a ThreadPool.)

*

*You need only a small number of threads. This was actually the reason I tried to do this asynchronously. It worked (with the same synchronous client), but was way slower than my multi-thread solution, so I put this back until we run out of memory for too much threads. (Until now, there are not so much connections at the same time.)

A: NIO for the win and I can actually stop threads when I want to. Learning NIO is nowehere difficult, however using buffers properly is almost never explained anywhere. One of the reasons, I believe, people can't squeeze NIO for exrta benefits.
Other parts of NIO is general inability of the most developers to code and use state machines, so they end up copying the buffers way too much.

A: NIO is reasonable for performance, and should use no more than #cores threads, multiplicated by the IO factor of your application, where the IO factor is the percentage of your app waiting for disk IO to complete.
The reason is simple. When you have #cores worker, each worker is likely to be bound to a single cpu core and can unitilize it to its maximum. the more workers, the more context switches, and this is exactly what you don't want and why you use NIO in the first place.
If the workers have to wait for IO, they could handle other requests, so use some more workers than cores for full cpu utilization.
If you use threads, you get the following advantages:

*

*you can store session information in ThreadLocals.

*you don't have to manage the session information in other ways.

A: I tried Apache MINA, it is really really good. I strongly recommend it.

An August Bank Holiday Lark at The Rose Theatre, Kingston - review
Words: Emma Word | Photo: Nobby Clark
2014 has already seen several tributes marking 100 years since the start of the First World War. However, Deborah McAndrews' specially commissioned story of a rural Lancashire community taken unawares by the events of 1914 has to be up there with the most powerful.
Director, Barrie Rutter, centres the action on the 'lads and lasses' living in a village dominated by the harsh regimes of the Penine valley cotton mills. Respite comes in the form of the August Rushcart parade, where a life-size cart is led through the village (too large to be brought on stage fully-constructed, its clever assembly becomes part of the action). Piled high with rushes, it is chaperoned by a team of joyful, ribbon-bedecked Morris dancers.
However, that innocent, country tradition is threatened by events in Europe, as Kitchener's recruitment drives begin to impact on the rural north of England and dancers are called away to do their patriotic duty.
The war is, at first, treated by the 'lads and lasses' with the same innocent bravado and naïveté as the Morris dancers' annual 'August Bank Holiday Lark'. The oft-quoted belief that the fighting would all be over by Christmas keeps the horror at bay at first, even when several of their number are away in the trenches. Yet, as inevitable news of losses arrives, the conflict's long-term effects on the lives and lifestyle of those living in the devastated village become very clear.
The 12-strong cast display multiple skills, from authentic Morris dancing and foot-tapping live instrumentals to heart-breaking portrayals of fear and loss. Rutter also plays John Farrar, Squire and bombastic father of two Morris dancing sons, turned soldiers. His silent reaction to the death of his boys in amidst everyone else's noisy grief was the most powerful moment of the entire play - possibly of any wartime tribute presented so far this year.
John Farrar's daughter, Mary, (Emily Butterfield) and her husband, Frank, (Darren Kuppan) offer a touching symbol of hope and new life at the end of the play. But the message is clear. This was a war that destroyed millions of lives, both on the battlefields and back home. Not only did it decimate families, but it put paid to many of the innocent pleasures that helped the daily grind become that bit more bearable. It is those losses, too, that the audience was invited to mourn in this powerful, moving piece.

Dietrich Wilhelm von Wakenitz, auch Wackenitz oder Wacknitz, (* 2. August 1728 auf dem Gut Neu Boltenhagen; † 9. Januar 1805 in Kassel) war preußischer Kavallerieoffizier, hessen-kasselischer Generalleutnant und Finanzminister.

Leben

Herkunft
Sein Vater war der Erbherr auf Gut Boltenhagen und schwedischer Oberstleutnant Karl Philipp von Wakenitz (1697–1739). Seine Mutter war Charlotte Louise von Örtzen (* 1699) aus Blümenow-Tornow.

In preußischem Dienst
Er trat bereits 1741 dem "Corps der Unrangirten" – einem Teil der Fußgarde – bei. Am 9. Juli 1744 wurde er Cornet in der Garde du Corps. Während des Zweiten Schlesischen Krieges in der Schlacht bei Hohenfriedberg erhielt er mit anderen Offizieren den Orden Pour le Mérite.1 Bei Ausbruch des Siebenjährigen Krieges war er Leutnant. Als das Corps mit sächsischen Soldaten um zwei Eskadron ergänzt wurde erhielt er ein Kommando darüber. Am 1. Oktober 1756 in der Schlacht von Lobositz konnte er sich nochmal auszeichnen und wurde am 24. Februar 1757 Rittmeister. Das Corps kämpfte Prag, Roßbach und Leuthen. Der in Lobositz schwer verwundete Oberstleutnant von Blumenthal verstarb und sein geplanter Nachfolger von Grotthusen war wegen Meinungsverschiedenheiten aus der Armee ausgetreten. So wurde Rittmeister Dietrich Wilhelm von Wakenitz von 1758 bis 1760 Kommandant der Garde du Corps. Durch seinen Einsatz in der Schlacht bei Zorndorf konnte er das Blatt wenden und wurde er sofort zum Oberstleutnant befördert. Unter den Führern der Garde du Corps ist derselbe unstreitig der verdienstvollste und nach dem Urteil des Großen Seydlitz war er ein Mann, der würdig gewesen, dereinst an die Spitze der preußischen Kavallerie gestellt zu werden.

Er muss aber Feinde gehabt haben; so wurde kolportiert, dass er in Zorndorf einen russischen Offizier – entgegen den geltenden Befehlen – in seinen Schutz genommen und einen Garde du Corps, welcher diesem einen tödlichen Hieb versetzte, erschossen habe. Am 6. Mai 1760 sah er sich zum Oberst und Kommandeur des Kürassier-Regiments Nr. 5 (Markgraf Friedrich) ernannt. Er ging hierauf nach Berlin, wurde aber hier, bei Gelegenheit der russisch-österreichischen Besetzung, am 7. Oktober 1760 Kriegsgefangener. Erst im Jahre 1762 wieder ausgewechselt, erbat er bei seiner Rückkehr vom Könige seine Verabschiedung, die er auch mittels eines sehr kalten Kabinettsschreibens, aus Leipzig, den 11. Dezember 1762, leider erhielt.

In hessischem Dienst
Landgraf Friedrich II. von Hessen Kassel suchte zur Verbesserung seiner Armee preußische Offiziere und so trat Wakenitz am 14. Juni 1763 als Generalmajor in hessische Dienste. Mai 1764 bekam er das Kommando über das Kavallerieregiment Gens d'armes. Am 17. Januar 1765 wurde er zum Chef ernannt. Er stieg am 27. Oktober 1772 zum Generalleutnant auf und wurde am 19. August 1774 zum Geheimen Staatsminister (Finanzminister). Zusammen mit Martin Ernst von Schlieffen und Friedrich Christian von Jungkenn (genannt Müntzer vom Mohrenstamm), waren sie als die Preußen-Junta bekannt. Nach dem Urteil einiger Zeitgenossen muss er die Finanzen wieder in Ordnung gebracht haben.

Am 31. Oktober 1785 starb der Landgraf und die Preußen mussten ihren Dienst quittieren. Wakenitz blieb in Kassel, von Schlieffen ging nach Preußen zurück und wurde Gouverneur von Wesel, von Jungkenn ging 1789 in Pension.

Für sein Wirken wurde er 1851 als einer der wenigen Nicht-Generäle auf den Ehrentafeln am Reiterstandbild Friedrichs des Großen verewigt. Zudem war er seit dem 25. August 1773 Ritter des Hausordens vom Goldenen Löwen und seit dem 5. März 1769 Ritter des Pour la vertu militaire.

Familie
Er war verheiratet und hatte Kinder. Seine Tochter Louise Charlotte (* 21. Dezember 1756; † 10. Juni 1831) war in erster Ehe mit dem Grafen August Heinrich von Wartensleben auf Saatzke, (* 6. Juni 1745; † 5. Mai 1803) verheiratet. Diese Ehe wurde 1786 geschieden. In zweiter Verbindung ehelichte Louise Charlotte den Kammerherrn Adolf Friedrich von Rochow (1758–1813) auf Stülpe. Dieser Ehe entstammte der Sohn Rochus II. (1797–1819), Leutnant, auf Stülpe.

Last week, Career Girl Contributor Marcy Farry brought us the article "Busyness Equals Worth?" In it, she talks about the tendency of our culture to equate busyness and general stress to value. Marcy encouraged us to equate more value in personal relationships, and what we really desire out of life. So I asked myself the question – what then creates our worth in business? The answer? Influence.
Connected/friends with the most people in the office.
The person who is the "go-to" for the higher ups.
The person who has the most industry contacts.
The person who has the "Jill of all trades" mentality.
The most progressive organizations have always realized that the informal connections employees make with others and the amount of knowledge and expertise they share outside of prescribed work responsibilities contributes mightily to the bottom line.
Those people, the ones with the most influence, will quickly see more promotions, more raises, and more opportunities to connect in their field. You might even see these types of individuals moving companies more frequently because of the industry connections they make. They are valuable. They are sought after.
If you want to increase your worth in the workplace, the key is influence. Become the go-to gal, become the best networked, become the person who is the "Jill of all trades" – your stock will rise.
