ViaSat 1 Launch and Impact on Algoma District
Based on the public information available together with some insider leaks , I don't anticipate the recently launched ViaSat1 will have a major impact on satellite service in the Algoma District although I do expect there will some reduction in congestion as the customer base using the current satellites shrinks.
I first discussed the new generation of satellites in July 2010. ViaSat1 was on the books as the first of the High Throughput Satellites (HTS) to serve North America. After about a six month delay due to a potential issue with the solar array used to provide the power in space, International Launch Services (ILS) lifted the ViaSat1 satellite into orbit on 19 Oct 11. A technology overview of the satellite operation can be found at this link.
The new satellite uses a newer version of the spot-beam concept used in the Canadian Anik F2 satellite. According to data released by ViaSat through various media resources, there are 72 spot-beams; 63 in the U.S. and nine over Canada. The spot-beams are "steerable" to a certain degree so the actual footprints are yet to be finalized. The maps below show the rough estimates of the ViaSat1 spot-beams covering parts of Canada as well coverage provided by the Anik F2 spot-beams
Fig 1. ViaSat1 Canadian Spot Beams* Fig 2. AnikF2 Spot Beams
* The number of spot-beams shown is greater than nine as some US spot-beams project into Canada.
The Canadian spot-beams are owned by satellite operator Telesat and will be used by Xplornet Communications Inc to service to consumers in rural Canada. The satellite is designed to deliver service for 15 years or more.
The new satellite uses acceleration software called AcceleNet®. As explained on theNetworkProductssite, this software addresses some of the problems associated with satellite usage such as preservation of enterprise security policies—such as SSL VPN compatibility and acceleration of secure file transfers (signed SMB) and web applications (HTTPS)—and bandwidth management for VoIP calls.
Even with the new software, the issue of latency will remain and impact applications that require low ping times to run efficiently or indeed run at all. Gaming and video-conferencing could remain a problem. On the other, user should notice a marked improvement in the web surfing and message exchange experience.
The whole concept of ViaSat1 is that it will concentrate its beams in the areas of relatively high population density. As can be seen on this unofficial map, whole swathes of North America are left uncovered and will need to rely on existing space platforms to provide coverage which may be beefed up.
Xplornet has yet to publish details about how it will use the new capability of ViaSat1. From various sources it appears Xplornet will not use a ViaSat1 spot beam to cover the Algoma District. It seems the plan is to use the capacity freed up by the transfer of customers in other parts of the province and country to ViaSat1 to provide better service to the Algoma District users by reducing the congestion on the existing network.
There has been some discussion as to what the ViaSat1 based price structure could look like.
The following speculation appeared in an ITWorldCanada article: "When ViaSat-1 comes online later this year, they'll be able to pay $55 a month for" 1.5 Mbps downlink service " the same speed (plus a $249 up front charge), which includes 10 Gb of data. More importantly, there will be packages with speeds of up to 10 Mbps, twice the maximum that some subscribers can get now." Indications from other sources indicate additional GBs will cost around $2.50 per GB.
The exact impact on the pricing and service conditions for legacy users on the Hughes and Anik systems is unknown except that Xplornet insists the current users will notice a marked improvement in service quality as some of the new network control features, especially the terrestrial aspects, will be available to the existing network.
Another issue worthy of consideration is terminology and the oft misunderstood term 4G. I discussed the definition for a 4G telecommunications service as a moving target in this blog. Most of the publicity associated with the ViaSat1 launch and subsequent service calls it "4G". This could easily be confused with the cellular networks' "4G" service in terms of speed. In reality ViaSat1 4G usually refers to a fourth generation of communications satellites and associated electronics. The only similarity is that the cellular networks and the satellite networks are changing over to their respective generations coincidentally.
It has become part of the ICT culture to bad mouth satellite service with complaints about, speed, reliability, data cap limits, price and a myriad of other features. In many cases this is justified. On the other hand, satellites offer a substantial improvement in throughput over dial-up. They provide a needed access on a universal basis, where terrestrial systems are not available.
I used satellite service for over 7 years. It definitely filled a need.
Was I glad to be able to switch to a terrestrial based system when Rogers and Tbaytel introduced service in my area? Absolutely.
Would I recommend a satellite service as a viable option for use as a system of last resort? Absolutely.

To coincide with a Week of Action organised by the Department of Health and Public Health England aimed at supporting families to provide children with the best start in life, here at the What Works Centre for Wellbeing we've pulled together publications showing the latest picture of the wellbeing of children and young people in the UK and some pointers to resources for taking positive action.
Our Wellbeing Pioneers this week are the National Citizen Service programme, providing a great example of how tangible results in improving young people's wellbeing can be achieved and Shift, an organisation designing an innovative biofeedback video game to help young people improve their own wellbeing.
Our pioneers are short case studies of real projects, real places, real people and their evaluations.
What does the latest picture show about children and young people's wellbeing?
Exploring the Well-being of Children in the UK, 2014 presents the latest statistical picture of the wellbeing of children in the UK from the ONS Measuring National Wellbeing Programme (published October 2014).
The Good Childhood Report, 2014 is the most recent report from The Children's Society looking at the wellbeing of children in the UK and highlighting areas for improvement.
5,660 Young People Can't be Wrong. How Will YOU Help Us? summarises the results of Young Mind's consultation with 5,600 young people (October 2013- May 2014) asking what the big issues were that made them feel under pressure, how these issues affect them and what needs to be done about them.
Where can I find out more about how to support children and young people's wellbeing?
The Guidebook from the Early Intervention Foundation is an online, interactive resource for those commissioning and providing services for children and families. It gives details of which programmes have been shown to work most effectively for improving outcomes for children as well as information about what works best in putting them into practice.
The Children's Society have produced a guide for parents on how to support their children's wellbeing.
'Talking Wellbeing' is a toolkit developed by young people working with the National Children's Bureau, Our Life and NHS Sefton, with help from Sefton Council and Sefton CVS. It shows how to run a five-step focus group for 14-19 year olds, exploring what wellbeing means to young people, what factors influence it and what they can do to improve their own wellbeing and that of their community.

WATCH: Is This Man the Greenest Governor in America?
If Jay Inslee succeeds in his ambitious climate and energy goals, the impacts will extend far beyond Washington state.
Chris Mooney
Inslee photo: Joe Mabel/Wikimedia Commons
When Jay Inslee was elected governor of the state of Washington in November of 2012, climate campaigners rejoiced. As a congressman, Inslee had a top-tier environmental record, and not just that: He knew climate and clean energy issues inside-out. The co-author of the 2007 book entitled Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy, he also worked closely on the 2009 passage of cap-and-trade legislation in the US House of Representatives and was a co-founder of the House's Sustainable Energy Caucus. No wonder that upon his election in Washington, the League of Conservation Voters declared that Inslee was poised to become "the greenest governor in the country."
Sure enough, Inslee's term got off to a great start: Last October, he joined the governors of Oregon and California and the Premier of British Columbia in endorsing the Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and Energy which pledges that those states (or, in BC's case, that province) will set a consistent price or cap on carbon dioxide emissions (something California and British Columbia have already done), adopt low-carbon fuel standards, and more.
To watch our live Seattle discussion with Governor Inslee and a distinguished panel of commentators, come back to this page at 3:00 pm PT/6:00 pm ET, on Tuesday, April 1. Brought to you by Climate Desk, Climate Access, Bloomberg BNA, and the University of Washington College of the Environment.
But there's just one problem: Shortly after Inslee's election, two Democrats elected to caucus with the Republican minority in the Washington state senate, thus thwarting what otherwise would have been a Democratic majority in both houses. Instead of holding a 26-23 majority in the Senate, Democrats instead became a de facto 25-24 minority. And that razor-thin edge in the Washington state Senate is currently blocking Inslee from achieving many of his objectives.
The partisan tension became apparent with Washington state's Climate Legislative and Executive Workgroup, or CLEW, a bipartisan panel composed of two Republican and two Democratic legislators, along with Inslee as a non-voting member. Their task was to recommend a set of policies that would let Washington state adhere to greenhouse gas emissions goals that had been enacted in 2008: a reduction to 1990 emissions levels by 2020, then 25 percent below those levels by 2035, and finally, fifty percent below by 2050.
The workgroup convened sessions and public deliberations around the state—but reached no bipartisan consensus. "We had over 900 citizens come out speaking overwhelmingly in favor of climate action, and close to 10,000 comments," says Becky Kelley, deputy director of the Washington Environmental Council. "So, evidence that people really are calling for action." Yet the Democrats and Republicans on the working group could not find common ground. They issued two separate reports, with the Democrats and Inslee endorsing strong climate action and the Republicans suggesting a variety of options, but not a central policy to cap greenhouse gas emissions, citing a "currently insufficient analysis of costs."
There has been more friction on the issue of a proposed low carbon fuel standard. In a January 2014 letter, Inslee charged Republican State Senator Curtis King, who co-chairs the Transportation Committee, with having misrepresented the governor's policy goals by incorrectly labeling the standard a "tax." In fact, the idea is to require a gradual reduction in the carbon content of fuels through a variety of means, ranging from blending in biofuels to encouraging more electric vehicles. "There is no element of a clean fuels standard that could in any way be called a 'tax,'" wrote Inslee, later adding that a standard "would include cost containment measures to ensure that fuel prices are not significantly affected." King responded by asking Inslee to "categorically deny" any intention to impose a fuel standard by executive action, in effect bypassing the legislature. King later charged that Inslee "refuses" to take this option off the table.
And even as Inslee faces Republican resistance at home, his climate action partners may be growing a little impatient. British Columbians, for instance, have already put a price on carbon through a carbon tax, and are waiting for their southern ally to catch up to them. In the meantime, there are frequent charges that drivers who go across the border into Washington to gas up are partially undermining the tax's effectiveness, and at least some evidence that this is happening, at least to a modest extent.
All of which underscores that if Washington acts strongly on climate, the impact will extend far beyond Washington. For the state will be strengthening and reinforcing what California and British Columbia have already done, and the more these Pacific coast states are unified, the more the United States and even the world will have to take notice. "The sense is that if the west coast as a bloc acts, if we've got real climate policy from BC to Baja, that's the world's fifth largest economy," says Kelly of the Washington Environmental Council.
In the meantime, though, Inslee's position within his state is much like that of President Barack Obama nationally, observes David Roberts of Grist magazine. "He wants to act, but he's got no Republicans in the legislature on his side," says Roberts, "so if he gets anything done, it's going to be through executive powers."
So what happens next? Eric de Place, policy director of the Sightline Institute, a Seattle-based environmental think tank, thinks that if gridlock persists beyond 2014, there's a chance that a citizen-led ballot initiative in Washington state could allow the public to vote directly on how to curb carbon emissions. Before, that, though, he thinks that Inslee may ultimately try to opt for a policy, like a carbon tax, that might be made palatable to state Republicans: The tax could be designed so that the revenue that it brings in would go towards other state budget shortfalls, such as in the transportation sector and in education.
In his inaugural address as governor, Inslee declared that on leading the nation in green policy, "It is clear to me that we are the right state, at the right time, with the right people." But now, that delicate balance may have shifted. "I'm certain the governor feels that not enough is getting done on climate action," says Eric de Place of the Sightline Institute. The question is what Inslee plans to do about it.

Review of Ramborn Cider's Perry. This is my first time trying anything from this Luxembourg cidery. By the way, for folks like me who don't know anything about Luxembourg except that it is somewhere in Europe – it is a small country bordered by Germany, Belgium, and France. They have a climate similar to Germany, and are between the latitudes of Normandy France and Somerset England (thanks Real Cider Reviews for that info!).
A cidery rep (Adie Kaye, head of marketing) was kind enough to bring me some samples all that way. We had actually got in touch by e-mail over a year ago (a few months after they launched), and he messaged me again as he was attending Cider Summit Seattle to scope it out in preparation for getting a booth at the Chicago version next year.
Availability: Mostly in Europe (especially Luxembourg & England), although they are just starting to come to the U.S., as they launched in Milwaukee Wisconsin in August 2017.
Cider Description: Ramborn Perry is made with pears from very old traditional orchards, including Bongert Altenhoven in Bettenbourg. It was created as part of Ramborn's commitment to protecting and reviving the many unique varieties of fruit that grow in the region. These traditional pear varieties – including Mostbirne and Nelchesbirne – have been carefully selected and pressed to create a perry rich in tannins, and full of subtle fruit flavour.
Cidery Description: Ramborn is the first Luxembourgish cider producer. We only ferment the freshly pressed juice of apples and pears grown exclusively in traditional orchards of large, standard trees. No concentrate. No industrial plantations.
This cidery started in 2016, are named after the local "Rambo" apple, and their farm accepts visitors (see here). I found a neat trip report from the Cider Sleuth (see here), as well as an article more about the cidery and tasting room / education center in general (see here), plus an article on the distribution of Ramborn (see here), which is through Ansay International at least to Wisconsin as of now.
First Impression: Moderate straw yellow hue with a hint of peach. Moderate carbonation, large bubbles. Smells of canned pear with tropical fruit.
Tasting Notes: Semi-sweet to semi-dry. Light to medium bodied. Low tartness. Moderate acidity. Low to moderate tannins, mostly on the finish, and especially as I continued drinking it. No bitterness, sourness, or funk. Notes of canned pear, dried pear, mango, pineapple, and guava. Moderate length finish. Moderate to strong pear flavor. Moderate complexity, sessionability, and flavor intensity.
My Opinion: I really enjoyed it! The level of sweetness was exactly to my preference, it was flavorful, and even slightly complex and tannic.
Most Similar to: I've tried over 30 perries, but this is one of my favorites, as it is both approachable and complex. It reminded me a bit of AEppeltreow Perry and Snowdrift Seckel Perry.
Closing Notes: I look forward to trying more from them! Hopefully they are available in the Seattle area soon.

A 'thinned' landscape, which provides far from ideal habitat for many species. Author provided
Land clearing on the rise as legal 'thinning' proves far from clear-cut

Land clearing is accelerating across eastern Australia, despite our new research providing a clear warning of its impacts on the Great Barrier Reef, regional and global climate, and threatened native wildlife.
Policies in place to control land clearing have been wound back across all Australian states, with major consequences for our natural environment.
One of the recent policy changes made in Queensland and New South Wales has been the introduction of self-assessable codes that allow landholders to clear native vegetation without a permit. These codes are meant to allow small amounts of "low-risk" clearing, so that landholders save time and money and government can focus on regulating activities that have bigger potential impacts on the environment.
However, substantial areas of native forest are set to be cleared in Queensland under the guise of vegetation "thinning", which is allowed by these self-assessable codes. How did this happen?
Thin on the ground
Thinning involves the selective removal of native trees and shrubs, and is widely used in the grazing industry to improve pasture quality. It has been argued that thinning returns the environment back to its "natural state" and provides better habitat for native wildlife. However, the science supporting this practice is not as clear-cut as it seems.
Vegetation "thickening" is part of a natural, dynamic ecological cycle. Australia's climate is highly variable, so vegetation tends to grow more in wetter years and then dies off during drought years. These natural cycles of thickening and thinning can span 50 years or more. In most areas of inland eastern Australia, there is little evidence for ongoing vegetation thickening since pastoral settlement.
Thinning of vegetation using tractors, blades and other machinery interrupts this natural cycle, which can make post-drought recovery of native vegetation more difficult. Loss of tree and shrub cover puts native wildlife at much greater risk from introduced predators like cats, and aggressive, "despotic" native birds. Thinning reduces the diversity of wildlife by favouring a few highly dominant species that prefer open vegetation, and reduces the availability of old trees with hollows.
Many native birds and animals can only survive in vegetation that hasn't been cleared for at least 30 years. So although vegetation of course grows back after clearing, for native wildlife it's a matter of quality, not just quantity.
Land clearing by stealth?
Thinning codes in Queensland and New South Wales allow landholders to clear vegetation that has thickened beyond its "natural state". Yet there is little agreement on what the "natural state" is for many native vegetation communities.
Under the Queensland codes, up to 75% of vegetation in an area can be removed without a permit, and in New South Wales thinning can reduce tree density to a level that is too low to support natural ecosystems.
All of this thinning adds up. Since August 2016, the Queensland government has received self-assessable vegetation clearing code notifications totalling more than 260,000 hectares. These areas include habitat for threatened species, and ecosystems that have already been extensively cleared.
It may be that the actual amount of vegetation cleared under thinning codes is less than the notifications suggest. But we will only know for sure when the next report on land clearing is released, and by then it will be too late.
Getting the balance right
Vegetation policy needs to strike a balance between protecting the environment and enabling landholders to manage their businesses efficiently and sustainably. While self-regulation makes sense for some small-scale activities, the current thinning codes allow large areas of vegetation to be removed from high-risk areas without government oversight.
Thinning codes should only allow vegetation to be cleared in areas that are not mapped as habitat for threatened species or ecosystems, and not to an extent where only scattered trees are left standing in a landscape. Stronger regulation is still needed to reduce the rate of land clearing, which in Queensland is now the highest in a decade.
Protecting native vegetation on private land reduces soil erosion and soil salinity, improves water quality, regulates climate, and allows Australia's unique plants and animals to survive. Landholders who preserve native vegetation alongside farming provide essential services to the Australian community, and should be rewarded. We need long-term incentives to allow landholders to profit from protecting vegetation instead of clearing it.
Our research has shown that Australian governments spend billions of dollars trying to achieve the benefits already provided by native vegetation, through programs such as the Emissions Reduction Fund, the 20 Million Trees program and Reef Rescue. Yet far more damage is inflicted by under-regulated clearing than is "fixed" by these programs.
Imagine what could be achieved if we spent that money more effectively.

Q: Why there is no bottom padding in Internet Explorer 8? Why in the following code there is no bottom padding in Internet Explorer 8 ?
HTML:

Hello

Stack

CSS:
#wrapper {
    border: 1px solid red;
    padding: 10px;
    height: 30px;
    overflow: auto;
}
.a {
    border: 1px solid black;

Any workarounds for browser compatibility ?

A: browser interpretation of the specs?

A value of 'scroll' would tell UAs
  that support a visible scrolling
  mechanism to display one so that users
  could access the clipped content.

Taken literally that means they, the browsers, can please themselves and they only have to provide access to the content not the padding or borders ;)
a compatible workaround:
#scroller {
    border: 1px solid red;
    height: 50px;
    overflow: auto;
}

.wrap {padding: 10px;}

.a {
    border: 1px solid black;

A: How about going dirty? (Heck, I'm a programmer, not a designer lol).

And:

Hello

:D

A: Read this post i think it will be helpful it did the trick for me

A: add display: block; to #wrapper {} - I had exactly the same issue, with this added padding-bottom started to work properly under IE8 and other browsers was not affected (keep the proper output)

A: You can add a pseudo-element «after» only for IE8:

The Moth in the Mirror (Splintered #1.5) by A G Howard {REVIEW}
An original ebook-only novella in the Splintered series, told from the points of view of both Jeb and Morpheus. Morpheus wants to know more about his rival for Alyssa's affections, so he digs into Jeb's memories of his time in Wonderland. But he may be surprised by what he finds.
This brand-new story and perspective from A.G. Howard's dark, magical world stands alone, but also provides a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come in Unhinged, the sequel to Splintered.
Book Title: The Moth in the Mirror (Splintered #1.5)
Author: A G Howard
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Retelling, Romance
Publication Date: October 22nd 2013
by Amulet Books
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Okay so this was long due. I had finished it quite a long ago but completely forgot putting up a review. SO here we go-
It was great to see Morpheus' pov for the first time, so clearly. The books focuse mainly on Alyssa, so even though we get Morpheus, we see him thorough her eyes. This didn't happen here because Alyssa isn't physically present. And seeing him in first person narrative was GREAT!
The novella basically reveals the incidents that are missing from Splintered, like the time range of Jeb and Al's separation at different periods, first after immediately arriving at Wonderland, when they come face to face with Morpheus, and also when Jeb is held captive by Morpheus.
Needless to say, author A G Howard has written a wonderful companion to the Splintered series. The novella has an obviously short but well-knitted plot that is very nicely enacted from beginning to the end. The novella is majorly Morpheus's pov but never for once did I feel that his direct presence overpowers Jeb's indirect one. At times I almost forgot neither Jeb nor Alice is present there on the spot.
The most interesting parts for me after reading The Moth in the Mirror are the ones that made me look at two of the familiar characters from a different light. One is Gossamer, and another one is our very own 'Dark' hero Morph the Moth. To avoid any spoiler, I would just say that I didn't expect for Gossamer to do what she did ;) And for Morpheus, well the guy is eccentric as always. But something about the way he expresses his thoughts at the end gave me goosebumps.. now whether they are good ones or bad ones, I don't know O_O
Just wish the story wasn't this short...
So, this is a very very quick read, and not compulsory. But it's definitely going to help you understand the characters all the more. I feel that character development is equally important, compared to plot. The Moth in the Mirror definitely helped me understand the human/s as well as the Netherlings. Strongly recommended for Splintered fangirls ('Girls' specifically because you get to see so much of Morpheus and Jeb together :D )

Is Wikipedia Considering Developing a Dark Theme?
I would really appreciate a Dark Theme for Wikipedia. As it is I am using a third party app to apply a dark theme to Wikipedia and I would love a native dark theme as the third party app I'm using experiences some errors in the Wikipedia articles I am reading.
Hi there. Are you talking about the Android/iOS app or the website?
"Wikipedia" are many people so that's impossible to answer. Some folks have created dark themes for MediaWiki installations (such as Wikipedia), see for example https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Darkvector / https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:DuskToDawn . I do not think any of their maintainers plan to work towards making their theme available on Wikipedias (via Special:Preferences under Appearance) though.
Timeless devs, one of Wikipedia available skins, are already working on a dark theme. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131991.
Edit: Sorry for digging up that old subject.


On Nov 30, 2018 3:20 AM by Marcus Giavanni with GP7A News about "Michael Hancock" who is the "Mayor of Denver in 2018". Does @mayorhancock and will Denver Mayor Michael Hancock. The same person at @Mayorhancock. Don't worry "Denver Voters" Michael Hancock has reached Peak Leadership. Michael Hancock 2018 record speaks in volumes; far greater than any grand ideas.
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock is coming up at the last moment. he will come up with to lead Denver into 20 years of Power under the ruling of Michael B. Hancock, and his Democrat party of Denver. And the monopoly of the Denver Government since 1963.This is 55 years of a partisan party to rule over a nonpartisan Government. And all those attorneys who stood for party over law. And did not speak up.
Social Credit system Scores and Rankings will have a devastating blow after May 7, 2019 the day of reckoning. Not for Michael Hancock, or Penfield Tate, Lisa Calderon Jamie Giellis. Whom all sound like the same candidates from Michael Hancock, or Penfield Tate, Lisa Calderon Jamie Giellis. And they all have no clue what the next level Denver, is supposed to taking.
Denver Voters Say No Way. And they want their Government and media back representing the citizens of Denver. Does the Media; have Clue What They are Doing to Media's Credibility Relevance Wisdom is being indexed, and it does not look good. With these media's ace in the hole. To save the Scores and Rankings, and Investors. They will have to fire all those journalists who did not come forward and tell their bosses. What Marcus Giavanni is saying is TRUE.
"GP7A News: "About Hancock Mayor, about Hancock Mayor in 2019, about Michael Hancock, see Michael Denver, look Hancock news, found Hancock needing ... New #Leadershop Skills, that he would have had to live out side of Denver to have earned.

Q: Synchronization required for multithreaded GAE apps? Google App Engine allows you to create threads if you use their ThreadManager.currentRequestThreadFactory() in conjunction with an ExecutorService. So, in order to allow the same frontend instance to handle multiple servlet requests at the same time, I am planning on writing code that looks like the following:
public class MyServlet implements HttpServlet {
    private RequestDispatcher dispatcher;

    // Getter and setter for 'dispatcher'.

    @Override
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
        MyResponse resp = dispatcher.dispatch(request);

        PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();

        // Use the 'resp' and 'writer' objects to produce the resultant HTML
        // to send back to the client. Omitted for brevity.
    }
}

public class RequestDispatcher {
    private ThreadFactory threadFactory =
        ThreadManager.currentRequestThreadFactory();

    private Executor executor;

    // Getters and setters for both properties.

    public MyResponse dispatch(HttpServletRequest request) {
        if(executor == null)
            executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool(threadFactory);

        // MyTask implements Callable<MyResponse>.
        MyTask task = TaskFactory.newTask(request);

        MyResponse myResponse = executor.submit(task);
    }
}

So now I believe we have a setup where each frontend will have a servlet that can accept up to 10 (I believe that's the max for what GAE allows) requests at the same time, and process all of them concurrently without blocking. So first off, if I've mistaken the use of ThreadManager and am not using it correctly, or if my setup for this type of concurrent behavior is incorrect, please begin by correcting me!
Assuming I'm more or less on track, I have some concurrency-related concerns with how Google App Engine threads utilize the object tree underneath the MyTask object.
The MyTask callable is responsible for actually processing the HTTP request. In EJB land, this would be the "business logic" code that does stuff like: (1) placing messages on a queue, (2) hitting the Google Datastore for data, (3) saving stuff to a cache, etc. The point is, it spawns a big "object tree" (lots of subsequent child objects) when its call() method is executed by the Executor.
Do I have to make each and every object that gets created from inside MyTask#call thread-safe? Why or why not? Thanks in advance!

A: You don't need all this to enable an instance to process multiple requests concurrently. GAE allows you to spawn threads if you need to perform multiple tasks in parallel when handling a single given request.
It could be useful, for example, if you need to contact several external URLs in parallel to get information needed to respond to a given request. This would be more efficient tha contacting all the URLs in sequence.

The regulatory framework governing the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) in the current programming period (2014-2020) does not directly support the funding of actions / investments that explicitly support the shift towards a circular economy at the urban level. Although there are some funding means such as the Urban Innovative Actions (UIA) and the URBACT under the European Territorial Cooperation goal that may occasionally use circular economy as a topic for funding, the funding provided for circular economy related actions under these programmes is limited and insufficient to create the needed impetus for the implementation of such a policy priority.
Support the shift towards the circular economy in cities requires specific and clear references in the regulatory framework as to the eligibility of the relevant actions/operations. To that end, provisions should be foreseen in the European Cohesion Policy post 2020 to ensure that the ESIF programmes contribute substantially and consistently to the transition towards a circular economy in EU cities. Furthermore, a clear reference and focus on circular economy (at urban level) in the ESIF regulatory framework could decisively boost related investments, which in turn contribute to the achievement of Cohesion Policy objectives and in particular of territorial cohesion, as well as to the achievement of other Union goals, ultimately contributing to investments with high European value added.
A detailed set of legislative options and complementary alternative recommendations is proposed to be elaborated and submitted under this action that could be useful to the Commission services in charge of planning the European Cohesion Policy post 2020 and preparing the relevant regulations. Moreover, it is proposed to communicate the results and recommendations of this action to all the European Institutions (European Parliament, Council, EESC, CoR). Finally it would be recommended to participate/ organise coordinated events for the dissemination of the results and proposals and the awareness-raising of a wider group of stakeholders (e.g. metropolitan cities, cities networks, etc.).

Test play video of smartphone version Marika 'Mario Kart Tour' before release leaked
Mario Kart Tour, a basic play free smartphone game developed jointly by Nintendo with DeNA, is scheduled to start service in the summer of 2019. The Mario Kart Tour is recruiting for closed beta testing for about two weeks from the end of April 2019 to the beginning of May, and the test play started from May 22nd. Has leaked on the Internet.

Watch the first gameplay video for the mobile version of Nintendo's Mario Kart Tour
https://www.idownloadblog.com/2019/05/22/nintendo-mario-kart-tour-gameplay-video/
As in the 'Closed Beta Test', uploading to the Internet and SNS such as videos and still images of the game screen at the time of the test was prohibited, but the media named Fan Actu YouTube It is published on the top.
Mario Kart Tour-Gameplay beta-YouTube
The game screen looks like this. Play your smartphone vertically.
Jumping from the platform will open the kite.
Rear confirmation is also possible.
Even a small table ......
A jump action is possible and will be added as a bonus.
If you use an item that gets in the way, you know who used the item.
So the goal.
Rank display screen
The race is going to give you bonus points, and the characters, carts and kites will point up.
The French media called iGeneration has also published another screenshot.
Just touch the screen with your finger. It looks like the cart runs automatically, just like the smartphone's first Mario game '
Super Mario Run '. In addition, it seems that the course of the past work is fully recorded.
It seems that the cart is going around the corner automatically in the initial setting of the game, but turning on the manual mode seems to make the cart move more according to your own operation. Four of 50cc, 100cc, 150cc and 200cc are prepared, and it seems that the same sound as the previous work is used.
It seems that you can use a wide variety of characters from the game screen, but according to the people who participated in the test, in-game charges are required to unlock the characters, and some of the characters have unique items and / or unique features. There are also some 'racing characters' with bonuses and more.
Looks like Mario Kart Tour beta is pretty hardcore with regards to monetization.
Multi-level gacha for drivers, karts and gliders.
Rare drivers have advantages during races.
Stamina system limits races available on an hourly basis.
(Subject to change, this is a beta.)

Q: Show there exists open sets $\{U_n\}^\infty_{n=1} \subset I^2$ with dictionary order topology. Suppose  $I^2 = [0, 1] × [0, 1]$ has the order topology generated by the
dictionary order. Let $x$ be the point $(0.5, 0)$ in $I^2$
.
I want to show that there exists a sequence $(U_n)^\infty_{n=1}$ of open sets in $I^2$
so that $x ∈ U_n$ for every $n$, and that for every open set $V$ of $I^2$ containing the point $x$, we have $U_n\subset V$ for some $n$.
I know we can put a simple order relation on $\Bbb R^2$ as follows: $(a, b) < (c, d)$ if either (1) $a < c$, or (2) $a = c$ and $b < d$. And this is often called the dictionary order but I am not sure how to prove the existence of such sequence of open sets hmm~

A: You want a countable local base at a specific point of $I^2=[0,1] \times [0,1]$ in the topology induced from $<$, the lexicographic order on this square.
If we consider a point $(p,0)$ in $I^2$, where $p>0$ (so it's not the minimum, which has a slightly different neighbourhood base) then any neighbourhood of $(p,0)$ is contains some open interval $((a,b),(c,d))$ with $(a,b) < (p,0)$ and $(p,0) < (c,d)$. Between $(a,b)$ and $(p,0)$ (we must have $a < p$) we find some natural $m$ with $a< p-\frac1m < p$ and then $(p-\frac1m,0)$ lies inbetween $(a,b)$ and $(p,0)$. Also, we can always find some $n \in \mathbb{N}$ with $(p, \frac1n) < (c,d)$ (either $c=p$ and $d>0$ and take $m$ large enough, or always take $m=1$ if $c>p$).
It follows that the following set of open intervals is countable and as required:
$$\{((p-\frac1m, 0),(p, \frac1n)): n,m \in \mathbb{N}\}$$
Now take $p=\frac12$ as a special case. If you like you can specialise too to all open intervals using one variable: $((p-\frac1n,0),(p,\frac1n)), n \in \mathbb{N}$, taking the max of $n$ and $m$ in the previous case.
In fact around every point of $I^2$ we can do similar things and every point has a countable local base.

Over the St. Patrick's Day weekend, Tucson and Pima County celebrated the completion of the "The Loop" – a 131 mile shared use trail that encircles the this terrific Sonoran Desert city and provides extensions to the south, north, and northwest.
This is a perfect example of what can be done by a community to enhance non-motorized transportation in its midst. Combined with a numbers bike lanes, a bike share program, bike parking, and numerous other infrastructure, it is clear why Tucson is rated so highly by the League of American Bicyclists – Gold ranking, along with 14 businesses/schools also ranked. Congratulations on the completion of this terrific project and we look forward to utilizing The Loop during our next visit to Tucson!
Hat's off to the folks of Northampton, Massachusetts, where Pedal People has been operating a successful curbside human-powered bicycle pick-up service for garbage/recycling/compost since 2002. The cooperative has a fleet of 12 bike trailers that can each haul up to 300 pounds and a staff of 14.
Quiet: There's no engine or compactor noise with us.
Less waste: Trucks are most efficient at transporting large quantities long distances. Picking up residential trash requires many stops and starts. Every time a truck accelerates from a stop, it emits soot and smog-forming pollution. Pedal People consolidates the trash and recycling, so trucks can do what they're best at. We also provide entirely human-powered compost service for no extra charge with trash pickup.
Service: We offer personalized and flexible service. All the trash (up to 30 or 60 gallons per pickup, depending on your plan) and both kinds of recycling are picked up at once — no need to remember which week is which. If you don't want to bring your trash to the curb, we can pick it up anywhere our bikes can easily go for no extra charge.
Reliability: In our 15 years of operation we've done 233,557 pickups and have rarely had to postpone due to severe weather.
Guarantee: If you're ever not satisfied with our service, we'll refund the unused portion of your bill at any time.
Donations: We'll bring bags of clothing to a donation box for no extra charge.
Cost: For small and medium sized pickups, our prices are very competitive, and if you're switching from another service, your first month is free with no obligation to continue. We also offer a 15% senior discount.
Particularly impressive is the fact they have nearly reached a quarter million pickups since the inception of Pedal People. Well done!
We spent part of Sunday afternoon biking a portion of the magnificent Sleeping Bear Dunes Heritage Trail between Pierce Stocking Drive and Glen Haven. The approximate 10 mile round trip took us through/past a variety of lovely ecosystems including woodland, open field, wetland, and dune landscapes. The entire trail is just over 20 miles in length.
One of the many highlights of our recent trip to California was a bicycle trek across the Golden Gate Bridge in both directions. With a bit of planning, this is an easy and fun endeavor for travelers to the Bay Area.
Since we were not staying in the city itself on this trip, we rented our bikes from Sausalito Bike Rentals and Tours on Princess Street in downtown Sausalito (see photo at bottom of post). It is the nearest bike rental shop to the bridge and offers a nice range of riding options.
Due to the very hilly and steep terrain, we rented electric-assisted bikes, which were a godsend given how worn out other less-than-seasoned riders looked pedaling uphill on the steep terrain.
There are a lot of wandering and gawking pedestrians on and near the bridge and between them and the other bikers, one must be continuously cautious and patient.
Both non-vehicular lanes (bay side and ocean side) are not always open at the same time. As a result you may have to carry/transport your bike down and up some rather steep stairs to cross under the north side of the bridge. There is a narrow ramp for the bike tires adjacent to the steps.
The steep hills can be tiring going up, but also potentially dangerous going downhill at too fast of a speed.
All-in-all, the experience was fantastic and blesses the rider with extraordinary vistas of the city, bay, mountains, and sea. Each direction offers new and delicious eye candy to savor. Peace!
Saw my first-ever skateboard parking rack (see below) recently at Interlochen Center for the Arts. This ingenious idea should be employed throughout the country, particularly in downtown areas and around/near college campuses.
Given the numbers of skateboarders seen in Boulder and Santa Cruz in the past, I'm rather amazed and impressed that the first one of these I've noticed is in NW Lower Michigan. Well done, Interlochen!
Listed below are most recent average daily bicycle traffic counts for 40 bridges in the City of Minneapolis. The are only a small part of some 500+ bicycle and pedestrian traffic count locations throughout the city. Such data being available is a tremendous resource for bicycle/transportation planning as well as for safety and advocacy efforts. Hat's off to Minneapolis!


An inter-conference battle between Catholic High, of the A Conference, and B Conference member Maryvale on Wednesday was a good game for hitters and fielders.
The teams combined to score 13 runs, smack 19 hits and wallop three home runs in the Cubs' 7-6 triumph.
Senior center fielder Olivia Adams led off the game with a homer and then belted another one in the sixth inning when Catholic went ahead for good, 6-5.
And the fielding was spot-on as well, with the Lions committing just one error and the Cubs had none.
Otherwise, it might have been an even longer day for Catholic pitcher Brittney Burke and her Maryvale freshman counterpart Jaillanna Arata.
Both hurlers were roughed up a couple of times, but the managed to limit the damage by wiggling out of tough jams to keep the score close.
Still, it was the hitters' day.
Some made more contact than others, including junior shortstop Reilly Vicendese, who tripled, homered and knocked in two runs for the Lions.
As for the nifty glove work on a chilly afternoon, Moeser said that her team has been working on its fielding.
"We had a great practice yesterday and it really paid off today," she said.
Catholic's defense was flawless, making every play that should have been made and a couple that were better than that.
Adams speared a roped liner by Vicendese in the first and then ran down her long fly ball a couple of innings later that came just after Maryvale junior Lyssa Kagel's two-run single knotted the score in the third.
And first baseman Rachel Martinez made a couple of nice catches of pop flies in foul territory in the fifth when the Lions's two-run rally forged a 5-5 deadlock.
Oddly enough, when Catholic scored a much-needed insurance run in the seventh inning, it came without a hit.
Martinez drew a walk to open the seventh and advanced to third on a wild pitch and a steal.
She crossed the plate on Alyssa Croker's ground out.


Hi Chef Deb! I am hoping you can help me. I am looking for low sodium recipes for my Dad. He isn't vegetarian or vegan but I am and want to cook things for him that he will enjoy. I am looking for any recipes or suggestions. It can be for breakfast, lunch, supper, dessert or snack! Thank you!
