Q: Node.js clustering is slower than single threaded mode I was just experimenting with clustering in Node.js. I wrote a little fibonacci example, where I called the function using a clustered server and a non-clustered server as follows.
// fib.js

module.exports = function () {
    const store = []
    store[0] = 0
    store[1] = 1

    return function fib(n) {
        if (store[n] === undefined) {
            store[n] = fib(n - 2) + fib(n - 1)
        }

        return store[n]
    }
}

// non-clustered server

const http = require('http')
const fib = require('./fib.js')

const f = fib()
http.createServer((req, res) => {
    res.writeHead(200)
    res.end(`From ${process.pid}: ${f(30)}\n`)
}).listen(8000)

// clustered server

const cluster = require('cluster')
const http = require('http')
const numCPUs = require('os').cpus().length
const fib = require('./fib.js')

const f = fib()
if (cluster.isMaster) {
    for (let i = 0; i < numCPUs; i++) {
        cluster.fork()
    }
} else {
    http.createServer((req, res) => {
        res.writeHead(200)
        res.end(`From ${process.pid}: ${f(30)}\n`)
    }).listen(8000)
}

Now, I tried benchmarking the performance of these two servers using artillery  but the non-clustered server seemed to be faster. How come?

A: The node cluster documentation says itself, that the worker distribution tends to be very unbalanced due to operating system scheduler vagaries, which affects performance. Also see this comparsion between the cluster nginx and iptables load balancer.
AFAIK performance testing tends to be much more complicated if we want to get meaningfull results. Some mainly statistic related questions about your test:

*

*Sample sizing: Why did you choose this sample size? Are you sure that the results will be the same with different sample sizes? Eg.: AFAIK the main advantage of clustering kicks off when the single thread process request handling capability ends.

*Testing environment: How did you run your test? In which environment? The environment was isolated? On how many core? What kind of processors?

*Significance: Why do you think your result represents significant difference? How did you test the difference between the samples?

Mickey's: a nifty car wash and a haunted adventure
Tammy Bourakis and her son Kyle Nigosian are proud partners in the new Mickey's Car Wash & Detail Shop.
By Rod Lee
Open since April, the new Mickey's Car Wash & Detail Shop in the Pleasant Valley Crossing plaza in Sutton is everything Tammy A. Bourakis and her son Kyle Nigosian thought it could be before construction on the building began last July.
Customers of Mickey's are just as pleased with the result.
"Someone told me yesterday they wouldn't go anywhere else," Kyle Nigosian said on the morning of September 13, as Customer Service/Car Wash Attendant Vahé Gurdjian prepped automobiles for their "glide" through the state-of-the-art 110' tunnel.
Mickey's features four different car-wash options:
-The Bubble Bath for $10, which consists of a foam bath, soft-touch wash and turbo dry.
-The Wheel Wash for $15: The Bubble Bath plus Wheel Brite, Polish and Poly Sealant.
-The Deep Clean for $19: The Wheel Wash plus Under Carriage Wash, Triple Foam and Rust Inhibitor.
-Mickey's Very Best for $24: The Deep Clean plus Polish (Synthetic Not Wax) and Ceramic Coat.
Add-ons are five dollars each.
The Wheel Wash, The Deep Clean and Mickey's Very Best are available as "monthly unlimited wash" packages at $35, $45 and $55, respectively.
Mickey's is a good example of how far the car-wash business has come in recent years, technologically. It provides the southern Blackstone Valley with a long-needed easily-accessed car wash and detail shop at 16 Galaxy Pass, at the intersection of Rt. 146 and Boston Road. Customers can pay by credit card a convenient drive-through kiosks.
While the office, detail shop, retail shop and pet wash are not yet open to the general public, the rest of the operation is fully functional and already generating daily traffic.
When it is up and running, the detailing component will feature two detailing bays, one of which can accommodate two cars at the same time.
A recurring monthly membership comes with free use of the vacuums. Yes, Mickey's has vacuums that work, unlike those vacuums at some run-of-the-mill car washes that cost four quarters or more and either don't turn on at all lack suction.
Ms. Bourakis and Kyle Nigosian are understandably proud of the pains they have taken to give patrons of Mickey's a satisfactory experience.
"We have two sets of wheel blasters," Mr. Nigosian said. "We prep the cars real heavy, every wheel individually with a power washer back and front." The system is kind "to sports cars and vehicles with wide tires," he noted.
"The biggest advantage is this track system," Mr. Gurdjian said, of the "magic belt" that moves vehicles through the wash carefully and efficiently.
As partners, Ms. Bourakis and her son spent considerable time conceptualizing Mickey's and that has carried over to how they will manage the enterprise going forward. An example of this is a first-ever "Mickey's Haunted Car Wash Adventure" that will run for two weeks, starting October 15 through Halloween. "Guests stay in their vehicles the entire time and are guided through a path where they will encounter Halloween characters that will try to scare them," the partners said. The event is family-oriented, exciting and suspenseful without "horror or terror" and will feature props, lighting and special effects, "especially in the tunnel car wash itself."
Light sticks, candy, hot chocolate and popcorn will be offered.
Market 32 in the plaza and other retailers are participating in the event.
"We are promoting it on 100.1 FM The Pike, in newspapers, on social media and with flyers," Ms. Bourakis points out.
The cost is $30 per car "and you get the $24 car wash with that," Ms. Bourakis said.
"We bought tons of awesome stuff" for the haunted adventure, she said.
As the newest tenant in Galaxy Development's Pleasant Valley Crossing, Mickey's Car Wash & Detail Shop—and the family dog Mickey—have found a home.

CNN Finally Discovers The Red State Health Care Disaster
[media id=10689] For months, Crooks and Liars has documented an often overlooked but inescapable truth of the contentious health-care reform debate:
By Jon Perr
9 years ago by Heather
For months, Crooks and Liars has documented an often overlooked but inescapable truth of the contentious health-care reform debate: Health care is generally worst in those red states where the Republican political leadership is most opposed to reform. (For example, see here, here, here and here.) Only now, after the narrow House vote this weekend, did CNN look at the Republican Senators committed to blocking health care for their residents who need it most.
Monday's "Keeping Them Honest" segment hosted by Anderson Cooper came three days after Texas Governor Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich in a Washington Post op-ed proclaimed the Lone Star State a model for health care policy. But as Cooper finally discovered, Texas "lawmakers voting against health care reform" happen to represent "the state with the worst number of people covered by health insurance."
RANDI KAYE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, here's what we found out today. There are more uninsured in red states than there are in blue states, which is interesting since all Republican senators are expected to vote against the public health care option.
As for Texas, which leads the nation with a staggering 25% of its population uninsured, the human toll of Republican obstructionism is devastating:
COOPER: And what about Texas? The state with the most uninsured, I mean --- with the most uninsured?
KAYE: And also the children there, too, as well are also uninsured. And if you look at the numbers for Texas, one quarter of Texas' entire population is without health insurance. That's six million Texans, Anderson.
The state's children are in really bad shape, too. The Census Bureau says, about 1.3 million children in Texas are without health insurance which is more, actually, than 18 percent. So if you look at those numbers, 18 percent in Texas compared to the U.S., 10.3 percent of children in the U.S. without health insurance…
COOPER: So if -- in Texas if the rate of uninsured dropped to like the national average, what does that mean for people there?
KAYE: It would be pretty significant, it turns out, Anderson. If Texas could reduce its uninsured rate from 25 percent to 15 percent to match the national average, another 2.4 million people in Texas would be covered. That's a lot of people.
That's a lot of people, indeed.
But the tragedy in Texas hardly ends with its swollen rolls of uninsured. As I recently detailed, Texas ranked 46th in the Commonwealth Fund's 2009 scorecard of state health care performance. Among the poster children for the failure of red state health care, Rick Perry's state brought up the rear across the five areas measured. And when it comes to health care access and equity, Texas is dead last.
Of course, Texans have plenty of company among their red state brethren when it comes to dismal health care. The Commonwealth Fund's analysis tells the tale. While nine of the top 10 performing states voted for Barack Obama in 2008, four of the bottom five (including Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Louisiana) and 14 of the last 20 backed John McCain. (That at least is an improvement from the 2007 data, in which all 10 cellar dwellers had voted for George W. Bush three years earlier.)
Meanwhile, back in Washington, the opposition to health care reform legislation from the two Texas Senators appears to be directly proportional to their constituents' misery. As CNN's Randi Kaye concluded:
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison's people told us that she is in favor of health care reform but against the public option. Hutchinson calls the bill the House just passed over the weekend a quote, "terrible bill that hijacks our health care system."
The senator says she will quote, "Do everything in her power to prevent this bill and anything remotely similar to it from passing the senate." Instead, she says medical malpractice reform and tax credits for people who purchase insurance will lead to more affordable health insurance.
Texas' other senator Republican Senator John Cornyn wants competition and choice. He has said a government-run single payer system, Anderson, would drive insurers out of the market and limit competition.
Sadly for John Cornyn's mythmaking, a "government-run single payer system" is not part of the legislation either passed by the House or now in front of the Senate. But as CNN belatedly discovered, everything – including the lies over its tattered health care system - is bigger in Texas.

HomeAll Posts...New Britain City Journal Endorses Mayor...
November 2, 2017 Stewart for New Britain
New Britain City Journal Endorses Mayor Stewart for Re-Election
The 2017 vote for Mayor is an easy one. Mayor Erin E. Stewart is the choice to lead New Britain. There are more reasons as to why her leadership is vital than can fit into this endorsement, but we will name as many as we can.
Number one, she not only brought New Britain out of bankruptcy, but has led it to a financial surplus despite not having a State budget for months.
She has not put the City in any debt as some have stated. She has made payments of debt reachable to save the City from certain bankruptcy caused by inept purchasing of bonds from the her predecessor.
She has made many spending cuts, reached agreements with unions and added new revenue to our City. All of these have eased the burden of taxpayers. Without that work, the City would have seen taxes raised to an amount that would have forced many residents to flee. Instead, necessary tax increases were implemented.
Mayor Stewart did not take tax increases with a grain of salt. She dreaded proposing them, but knew there was little choice.
With all that happening, there has still been a new energy in the City. Most of that surrounds Mayor Stewart and her team. She has increased the number of businesses, added life to downtown and helped fix up the City.
Did you see all the events at Central Park? No longer is it a place people are afraid to hang out in. Farmer's Markets, music and other entertainment keep it hopping. On Tuesday thousands of people went to Central Park for a safe Halloween.
New Britain was even named an All America City two years in a row and has brought back Main Street USA. Yes, the excitement is contagious.
No one has done more for the homeless in our City than Mayor Stewart. In fact, she has eliminated chronic family homelessness. Those who want help, can now get it. More will be done in the next two years to end this issue in our City. The City is on the right track.
Do you want to discuss something with the Mayor? You can ask her question during open office hours straight from you computer. Accessing the Mayor is easier than ever. She believes in open government.
There are so many projects yet to be completed such as Columbus Commons, the Beehive Bridge and a new transit oriented development plan. Residents can not take a step backwards and see no progress in the City. We must continue to move forward.
Lastly, she has truly been bi-partisan. Her team is made up of Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated candidates. She is not about Party, but is for what is best for the City. That is an extremely rare trait for a candidate. We have had enough of Party politics.
The City Journal has never been about Party. Always we have supported people rather than political affiliations. We believe Mayor Stewart fits the qualities we support.
Two years ago we endorsed Mayor Stewart for many of the same reasons we are endorsing her here today. She has done nothing for us to change our minds.
She truly has made New Britain a better place to live. We encourage residents to once again support Mayor Erin Stewart.
It takes many years to change a City that was ravaged by empty manufacturing buildings 40 years ago. It takes more than four years. Progress has been made and will continue if residents make the choice and re-elect Mayor Erin E. Stewart.

"Rose Garden Festival Blooms Anew in June." – New Britain Herald
by Erin Stewart


First of all, David's a musician, so I'm gonna like him. ... And what's so powerful about the Psalms are, as well as their being Gospel and songs of praise, they are also the Blues. It's very important for Christians to be honest with God, which often, you know, God is much more interested in who you are than who you want to be.
He could see right into that fellow's heart. He knew he wasn't coming and he was just, it was pretense. We've gotta be a bit more cutting edge, not look to the signs of righteousness. Look to the actions.
So David is singing the Blues and Jesus is offering edgy punk rock. That is the gospel according to a rock star. Recontextualizing the biblical messages like that may help people understand and relate to the passages better. Perhaps we need to put on our (figurative) Bono shades and read the Bible with a creative perspective. A nice U2 soundtrack in the background might help our fresh biblical reading, especially since some churches even hold U2-themed communion services (called a "U2charist")!

US Media Double Standard–on Uprisings in Syria and Uprisings in…the US
A recent article in the New York Times underlined the double standard at the heart of mainstream news coverage of the conflict in Syria—and of unrest back home in the United States.
Under the headline "A Faceless Teenage Refugee Who Helped Ignite Syria's War," the Times tells the story of bold teenagers whose acts launched the uprising that will likely lead to the end of the long-running Assad family dictatorship in Syria:
That war's brutality has made it difficult to recall, let alone celebrate, the uprisings' beginnings.
While the article may well represent events accurately, both the writer and the parent newspaper seem unable to situate the meaning of those events in Syria in the larger dynamic of freedom and democracy worldwide.
The article is based on interviews with unnamed witnesses and participants in the initial acts that led to the wider uprising. It tells of the teenager who impetuously spray painted a public warning to President Assad that he would be the next leader toppled in the Arab world's spreading democratic ferment—and the arrests and torture that followed, with demonstrations and uprising on their heels.
Only later do we read, almost in passing, of another act of public vandalism by the same young man—a more serious one.
It was not just the graffiti: the cousin had set fire to a new police kiosk the same day in another act of lashing out.
The overall tone of the article is that the young man is a brave figure, to be admired. And, of course, that is correct. The problem is this: how would the New York Times react to a teenager in New York setting fire to a new police kiosk? How would it react to graffiti sprayed on the wall of the New York Times's new headquarters building?
More, how does the paper salute the burgeoning revolution right here at home, by youths (and seniors alike) sick and tired of the corrupt establishment of which The Times itself is very much a part? Answer: it pays the most minimal lip service, but more often than not treats democratic revolt at home as a rather pathetic thing. It pays far too little attention to the steadily-mounting array of constitutional threats from our home-baked national security state. It pays far too little attention to the abuses foisted upon the population again and again and again by a corporate oligarchy that limits our range of electoral and policy choices.
And that is why we must be very, very suspicious about the enthusiasm which the American establishment exhibits for rebellion abroad—very selectively, only in certain countries, and not in others: in Iran, but not (until the uprising had already succeeded) in Egypt. In Syria, but not in Saudi Arabia. In Libya, but not in Bahrain. In the Middle East, but only the most tepid kind….here at home.
Either we want real democracy and freedom of expression, or we don't.

The "we" that counts, that really makes policy and drives the big picture in Amerika does not want "real democracy". Orwell's 1984 is now in full bloom.
erisx says:
You have started with the assumption that people in this nation know that they are not free, that their media is entertainment and not meant to inform but act as propaganda, that their political power is largely symbolic and thus irrelevent. People don't know these things. And when it is pointed out, many of them refuse to believe. Push the point and they are willing to commit violence upon you, because you are threatening their world view, and have nothing of hope or joy to replace it with that doesn't require pain and suffering (aka revolution).
I make no such assumptions, though I am aware that I'm not free and the media is propaganda and that I am largely powerless.
Despite this I am happy to read your post. Found it through C&L. Thank you!

Like the media has time to even act outraged at Stop and Frisk or the 100 mile deconstutionalized border of the USA or even say our privacy rights that most of their parent Corporations helped (some still do) and assisted in violating our 4th Amendment Rights (and many still do via permission from immunization, thanks Senator Obama) to the FACT of unaccountable governments to an international conspiracy to commit acts of TORTURE, when out of 54 Nations cooperating with the US and the ONLY person behind bars is the man who revealed the crime ring.
**gasp**

We've got a new offer. It's about Syria again. Qataris propose an
attractive deal and swear that the idea is approved by Washington.
We'll have to deliver a CW to Homs, a Soviet origin g-shell from Libya similar to those that Assad should have.
They want us to deploy our Ukrainian personnel that should speak Russian and make a video record.
Frankly, I don't think it's a good idea but the sums proposed are enormous. Your opinion?

Texas GM Tom Grieve fined relief pitcher Dave Stewart $500 and offered an apology on behalf of the club for remarks Stewart made after the Rangers' 6-3 loss to Kansas City Wednesday night. Stewart was called out of the bullpen with two runners on and none out in the eighth inning and gave up a three-run homer to Jorge Orta that put the Royals in front, 5-3. He was booed loudly at the end of the eighth when he walked to the dugout and afterward he was asked what he thought about the crowd response. At first Stewart said the booing did not bother him and then he said: "I would pay anybody my salary, I'd pull anybody out of the stands, especially the big mouths, and say, 'Can you do it?' I don't worry about people. I worry about my teammates, my manager and myself and I don't care what criticism I receive from somebody who just comes to the park to have a good time and drink a few beers."
-- Cincinnati Reds second baseman Ron Oester, out since last weekend after reinjuring his left shoulder, says the shoulder will be examined by the team physician today to determine a rehabilitation program.

Q: Optimal Mysql Config (Partiontion) & Indexes / Hypertable / RAID Config (Huge Database) tl;rd:

*

*DB Partitioning with Primary Key

*Index size problem.

*DB size grows around 1-3 GB per day

*Raid setup.

*Do you have experience with Hypertable?

Long Version:
i just build / bought a home server:

*

*Xeon E3-1245 3,4 HT

*32GB RAM

*6x 1,5 TB WD Cavier Black 7200

I will use the Server Board INTEL S1200BTL Raid (no money left for a raid controller). http://ark.intel.com/products/53557/Intel-Server-Board-S1200BTL
The mainboard has 4x SATA 3GB/s ports and 2x SATA 6GB/s
I'm not yet sure if i can setup all 6hdds in RAID 10,
if not possible, i thought 4x hdds Raid 10 (MYSQL DB) & 2xhdds Raid 0 for (OS/Mysql Indexes).
(If raid 0 breaks, its no problem for me, i need only secure the DB)
About the DB:
Its a web crawler DB, where domains, urls, links and such stuff gets stored.
So i thought i partition the DB with the primary keys of each table like
(1-1000000) (1000001-2000000) and so on.
When i do search / insert / select queries in the DB, i need to scan the hole table, cause some stuff could be in ROW 1 and the other in ROW 1000000000000.
If i do such partition by primary key (auto_increment) will this use all my CPU cores? So that it scans each partition parallel? Or should i stick with one huge DB without a partition.
The DB will be very big, on my home System right now its,

I see i could fix the externlink & link indexes, i just added externlink cause i needed to query that field and i was not able to use the link index. Do you see, what I could tune on the indexes? My new system will have 32 GB but if the DB grows in this speed, i will use 90% of the RAM in FEW wks / months.
Does a packed INDEX help? (How is the performance decrease?)
The other important tables are under 500MB.
Only the URL Source table is huge: 48.6 GiB
Structure:

    url_id  BIGINT
    pagesource mediumblob data is packed with gzip high compression

    Index is only on url_id (unique).

From this table the data can be wiped, when i have extracted all what i need.
Do you have any experience with Hypertables? http://hypertable.org/ <= Googles Bigtables. If I move to Hypertables, would this help me in performance (extracting data / searching / inserting / selecting & DB size). I read on the page but I'm still some clueless. Cause you cant directly compare MYSQL with Hypertables. I will try it out soon, must read the documentation first.
What i need, a solution, which fits in my setup, cause i have no money left for any other hardware setup.
Thanks for help.

A: Hypertable is an excellent choice for a crawl database.  Hypertable is an open source, high performance, scalable database modeled after Google's Bigtable.  Google developed Bigtable specifically for their crawl database.  I recommend reading the Bigtable paper since it uses the crawl database as the running example.

A: Regarding to #4 (RAID setup), It's not recommended to use RAID5 for production servers. Great article about it -> http://www.dbasquare.com/2012/04/02/should-raid-5-be-used-in-a-mysql-server/


Kuzu guys, today I'm wearing a casual with a twist! yup! I modified this normal collar shirt to a collarless but one-side shoulder shirt. It was pretty a crazy idea I got after seeing many popular bloggers going for this kinda twisted tops; I wanted to buy one but thought why not try making one instead. So I finally did. It's super easy and simple to make this. Here I paired this with my ankle ripped jeans, slip ons from C&K and Zara bag. I was worried if I can pull it off but I'm pretty glad I didn't look weird haha..How do you guys like my today's ensemble?
You will lose nothing with kindness.

Home / General / Awesome Projects from the turning class!
We have spent all day today talking about the technical side of how to complete our projects, we have studied the safe ways to address the tools and techniques needed for our turning projects and we rolled up our sleeves and got down to it! This class has a great mix of beginners and some folks who have a good deal of turning experience.
So we have completed mostly four different projects today. Almost all of the student now have a wonderful key chain, an awesome fan pull, a ball point pen, and some completed a custom project of their own choice. Please take a look at a few of the students work they have accomplished in just one full days worth of work. Remember, some of these students have never turned on a lathe before.
Tomorrow we will complete our kaleidoscope eggs. As soon as I have some pictures of completed works, I will post them tomorrow!

1) Go to the App Store on your iOS mobile device.
2) Download and install BIAS AMP 2 Mobile - it's a freemium app, so there is nothing to pay. If you've previously installed BIAS AMP 2 Mobile, got to Step #3.
3) Boot the software and connect your BIAS amplifier to BIAS AMP 2 Mobile by tapping on the "gear" icon on the top right of your screen, and then tap on "Connect Hardware" in the following dropdown menu. This will connect your BIAS amplifier to the Mobile software, and upgrade the firmware at the same time. The first time you sync your amplifier this way it will take awhile to perform the firmware upgrade, but the next time you sync it will go much faster.
4) Once connected, the software will ask you to log in to your ToneCloud account. If you don't have an account yet, you can easily create one by tapping "Sign Up".
5) If this is a new account or the first time you're running BIAS AMP 2 Mobile, the software should prompt you to register your hardware. Press the "REGISTER" button to do so, and follow the prompts to complete registration.
6) Once your BIAS amplifier is registered to you, a full license for BIAS AMP 2 Mobile will automatically be placed in your account. This gives you access to every option in the software other than the custom Celestion speaker packages at any time, even when you leave your hardware at home. If your BIAS amplifier is NOT already registered to your account, connecting your Head, Rack or MINI amplifier will still unlock the full functionality of BIAS AMP 2 Mobile when "Run Temporary" is selected, but only as long as the hardware is connected to the Mobile software.
7) If you dismissed the register prompt and selected the option to "Run Temporary", you can still register your amplifier at any point by tapping the "Register" button in the top right hand corner of the Mobile software.

There's LIFE after death on the 'net

"Psycho" Legend Leigh Dies
https://www.mscl.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3451
Posted: Oct 6th 2004, 8:30 am
by wicked
well at least she was at home with her family
The steely blonde actress infamously assaulted in the act of washing in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho died Sunday of a blood disorder. She was 77.
Leigh had suffered from vasculitis, an inflammation of the blood vessels, for about a year, a spokeswoman for Jamie Lee Curtis (news), her daughter, told the Associated Press.
"She died peacefully at home," Heidi Schaeffer told the wire service. Lee, her sister and Leigh's husband, Robert Brandt, were at her side.
Leigh earned a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for Psycho as Marion Crane, the woman gone wrong who is done wrong at the knife of motel-hell owner Norman Bates, played with beady-eyed intensity by Anthony Perkins.
In director Hitchcock's most famed thriller twist, Leigh's undoing in the shower occurs early in the 1960 movie--he killed off his star with more than half the story to go.
If the violent sequence--taking up less than a minute of screen time--was enough to give moviegoers second thoughts about running water, think what it did to the actress.
"The shooting was stretched out over seven days and with all the water I was a prune," Leigh once told DVDFile.com. "But the full impact did not hit me until I saw it [on screen]."
In 1995, Leigh told People that after Psycho she showered only as a last resort--when a bath was unavailable. And even then, she took precautions. "I make sure all the doors and windows in the house are locked, and I leave the bathroom door and shower curtain open so I have a perfect, clear view," she said in the magazine.
If Leigh was best known for Psycho, she was not only known for Psycho, a la King Kong's Fay Wray.
She starred in more than 50 films, including Touch of Evil and the original Manchurian Candidate, costarred in a high-profile Hollywood marriage with Tony Curtis (news), and, with Curtis, produced modern-day movie star Jamie Lee Curtis.
Born Jeanette Helen Morrison on July 6, 1927, in Merced, California, Leigh's Hollywood career began the Hollywood way: She was discovered.
In 1945, former MGM diva Norma Shearer was vacationing at the California ski resort where her parents worked. Shearer spotted a picture of the teenaged Morrison, showed it to power agent Lew Wasserman and--voila!--Janet Leigh was born.
In 2003, Leigh told the Associated Press that not even MGM's own head of publicity believed the story.
"But it's absolutely true," Leigh said to the wire service.
Leigh's first film was 1947's The Romance of Rosy Ridge, a Civil War-era drama; her last, the horror spoof, A Fate Totally Worse Than Death, as-yet unreleased.
In between, was memorable stuff such as 1953's The Naked Spur, the James Stewart Western/adventure; 1953's Houdini, a biopic on magician Harry Houdini, costarring then-husband Curtis; 1958's Touch of Evil, the now-acclaimed Orson Welles noir classic; 1962's The Manchurian Candidate with Frank Sinatra; 1963's Bye Bye Birdie, the Technicolor musical; and, 1966's Harper, the Paul Newman detective drama.
Leigh worked mainly in TV from the 1970s on, though she did endear herself to cult-movie fans with 1972's Night of the Lepus, a cautionary tale about gigantic bunny rabbits.
In all, four of Leigh's films--Psycho, The Manchurian Candidate, A Touch of Evil and The Naked Spur--have been designated preservation-worthy works by the National Film Registry.
"That's really gratifying. I'm in such good company. There are very few others who have four or more of their films in there. I'm very proud," Leigh said of the film registry designations to DVDFile.com.
Leigh's personal life became the stuff of tabloids with her 1951 marriage to Tony Curtis. It was her third marriage after two short-lived ones in the 1940s.
With Curtis, she had two daughters. Her youngest, Jamie Lee Curtis, born in 1958, would go on to echo her mother's Psycho screams starting with the 1978 horror flick Halloween.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Leigh appeared together on screen in 1979's The Fog and 1998's Halloween H20.
Leigh and Curtis divorced in 1962. That same year, she wed stockbroker Robert Brandt.
In later years, Leigh penned novels (The Dream Factory, House of Destiny), her autobiography (There Really Was a Hollywood) and an account of the shower scene seen around the world (Psycho: Behind the Scenes of the Classic Thriller, written with Christopher Nickens).
While Psycho loomed large in her career, Leigh never begrudged its place in her life.
"How can anyone not be grateful for that kind of opportunity?" she told the A.P. in 2003. "...That's what the [movie] business is all about: Creating images."

Are We Headed for Another Electoral Mess?
Posted May 30, 2012 11:02 AM
@StuPolitics
The Steyer boomlet Lessons for today from the fight over Prohibition Impeachment? Yawn. Next.
The 2012 presidential election looks like it could well be another squeaker, and if it is, a number of possible outcomes could produce national hand-wringing, finger-pointing, complaints of unfairness and anger, further dividing Americans and undermining confidence in our political system.
A dozen years ago, Democrat Al Gore drew 540,000 votes more than Republican George W. Bush but lost the presidency when Bush carried Florida and won 271 electoral votes.
There is no reason that couldn't happen again, with President Barack Obama winning a narrow popular vote victory and losing in the Electoral College. Most of the same states are in play as were in 2000, and any close popular vote outcome raises the possibility of a split decision, especially because Obama is likely to "waste" large numbers of votes in carrying a handful of populous states.
In 2000, six states delivered a plurality of at least 500,000 votes to one of the major party nominees. Five of those states — New York, California, Massachusetts, Illinois and New Jersey — went for Gore, while only one, Texas, went for Bush. Bush carried 30 states that year, while Gore won 20 states and the District of Columbia.
Eight years later, in a relative blowout, 10 states delivered pluralities of at least 500,000 votes for one of the nominees. Obama won nine of those states (the five above plus Michigan, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington), while Texas gave Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) a huge win. McCain won only 22 states that year to Obama's 28 (plus D.C.), though the Democrat also won one of Nebraska's electoral votes by carrying the state's 2nd district.
Even assuming that Obama's large 9.5 million vote majority will be erased almost completely this time, he is still likely to "over perform" in the most populous states, again "wasting" votes in his quest to 270 electoral votes.
If you start to feel dread at the thought of the fallout from the unlikely popular vote/electoral vote scenario, here is another unlikely scenario that would boost cable viewing but further tear apart the country: Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney tie at 269 delegates, throwing the contest to the House.
Bush's 271-267 victory in 2000 (in fact, Gore drew 266 electoral votes because one D.C. elector abstained) would translate into a 285-253 advantage for Bush after the latest round of reapportionment following the 2010 census. Given that, Obama would need to hold all of Gore's states and win an additional 16 electoral votes to get to 269 and an Electoral College tie.
For Democrats, an electoral vote deadlock would be a problem because Republicans currently have a majority in 33 state U.S. House delegations while Democrats have a majority in only 17 (counting D.C.). One delegation (Minnesota) is now tied.
While those numbers will change after November's elections, the GOP is likely to have a majority in at least 26 state U.S. House delegations and quite possibly many more in the next Congress. An Electoral College tie therefore would almost certainly result in a Romney victory.
If either of these scenarios comes to pass in November, the country is headed for a very difficult period. But even a razor-thin victory in 2012 is guaranteed to produce conspiracy theories, anecdotes of voters turned away at the polls or ineligible people voting and charges of irregularities. Mistakes still happen.
University of California-Irvine School of Law professor Richard Hasen believes that voting technology has improved substantially since the 2000 elections, when hanging chads and confusing ballots caused complaints about votes not being counted and resulted in an election decided by the Supreme Court.
But if the Help America Vote Act of 2002 and other remedies have improved the likelihood that votes will be counted accurately, our electoral process is still filled with flaws, says Hasen, whose new book, "The Voting Wars: From Florida 2000 to the Next Election Meltdown," will be published by Yale University Press in August.
Partisan election officials still run our elections, and levels of competence vary from state to state and polling place to polling place, says Hasen, who points to an April 2011 Wisconsin Supreme Court race where more than 14,000 votes in Waukesha County initially weren't added to the state vote totals. When, following a canvass, the votes were counted, the initial outcome of the election was reversed.
"The next [election] meltdown will be much worse [than in 2000]," predicts Hasen, citing the presence of social
Hasen argues that instead of opening avenues of communication and trust between people, social media — particularly Twitter — has made people more partisan and less tolerant. Communication is shorter and meaner. And social media makes it easier for people who are angry or suspicious to generate an uproar and organize protests that will challenge the legitimacy of the election outcome.
For those of us who are already tired of partisanship and screaming, a clear win by either Obama or Romney certainly is preferable to any sort of messy outcome. But it's wise to prepare for the worst.

An earlier version of this column counted changes in the number of electoral votes after the most recent reapportionment but inadvertently ignored the changes following the 2000 census. As a result, it said that George W. Bush would have had a 278-260 advantage in the 2000 race given the current electoral votes of the states he carried, when in fact his advantage would have been an even larger 285-253. In addition, the column counted Wisconsin as having a split House delegation, when in fact Republicans currently hold five of the state's eight Congressional districts.

Q: git patch ignoring white space diffs c++ The only thing I care about is C++ file. (Don't worry about binary files, text, etc ... you can assume taht everything is C++ code_).
I have these branches:
* dev
  master

Now, I can to create a new branch "magic", where branch magic is equiv to "dev" (in terms of C++ code generated), but minimizes useless whiteline diffs (like inserting extra newlines) from master.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

A: Your question isn't completely clear to me. I think you want the new branch to contain series of commits that are "equivalent" to the ones in dev but don't contain unnecessary whitespace changes.
The simplest way to do this is with git rebase --interactive. This allows you to edit a series of commits manually. You can get the hash of the first ("root") commit with git rev-list HEAD | tail -n 1. If you want to edit the first commit as well, that's more difficult but there's a SO answer for that.
git checkout dev
git checkout -b magic
git rebase --interactive $(git rev-list HEAD | tail -n 1)

This brings up an editor on the list of commits in forward chronological order. You change pick to edit on the commits that you wish to change. git will then pause before processing each of these commits, allowing you to modify it with git commit --amend and then continue the rebase with git rebase --continue. You could of course run a script to clean up the files rather than editing them manually. If you want to do this based on the differences from the previous commit you would need to use something like git cat-file blob HEAD^:filename to fetch the previous revision, or use git diff HEAD^ filename.
If you want to automate the whole process then you can use git filter-branch --tree-filter script. Look at the man page for git-filter-branch for details.
If you want to prevent future commits from containing whitespace errors, you can set up a pre-commit hook to disallow them.
Once you're happy with the new branch magic you can use it to replace dev:
git branch -m dev dev-old
git branch -m magic dev

However, note that this might cause problems for people who already have a copy of dev in their own repos. It would then be better to do a merge instead.

A: git diff --ignore-space-change ...

A: You could try setting up a post-merge hook which will:

*

*only do anything if the current branch is magic

*remove all whitelines of *.cpp files

*make a new commit (since a post-merge hook cannot directly affect the outcome of git merge)

I added a stage 1 tune to my car and left the original air filter in the car without thinking anything different. After experiencing non-linear engine performance in the higher revs (4-6500rpm) I decided to change out the stock filter with a K&N filter, plus do some simple air box mods to allow better airflow into the air box. Once I installed the K&N filter I immediately noticed a significant improvement in the engine performance and the power became linear through to redline....success This proved to me that this is a must item if you want to get the full effect of your engines performance. I am also seeing better fuel mileage...double bonus Highly recommend this filter to enyone wanting to increase power and improve your gas mileage.
Fits perfectly and has increased my gas mileage.
Le moteur respire beaucoup mieux surtout à bas regime et en côte, pour l'instant ravi de mon achat.
I am very pleased with the product, it is exactly as it was described on the website. The whole experience with your eshop was very good. I was happy with how quick the order was processed. My only complain is about the delivery. I was not present home at the time of delivery and driver did not have my phone number so I was not informed about specific time. When I returned from work (one day after the delivery) the package was just on the ground infront of my door. I have not signed any delivery papers, it was lying outside my house for a whole day for anyone to take it or to be ruined by weather. Luckily none of it happened but next time I would appreciate better delivery process.

I suspect that your Bill of Lading field is a text field. Is that correct?
If bill of landing is not blank, do tracking, or show "not ready yet"
Really needs help about it! thanks a lot!
I made this as a buton, if the bill of landing no is blank, how to make the button gone and show the "not ready yet"??
I suggest just having a separate field with a message if the bill of lading is blank.

Q: Add decimal value to a date time in firemonkey delphi XE4? Is there anyone who can help me with, for example:  Adding decimal 0,5 or 1 to a time?
eg. 0,5 + 15:30:50 = 16:00:50

A: If you have a time represented as a TDateTime, and wish to add a number of hours to it then you would do so like this:
uses
  System.SysUtils, System.DateUtils;

function IncrementTimeBySpecifiedNumberOfHours(Time: TDateTime;
  Hours: Double): TDateTime;
begin
  Result := TimeOf(Time + Hours/HoursPerDay);
end;

I'm assuming that you are concerned only with times here and wish to implement a 24 hour wrap-around. Hence the use of TimeOf.

November 2014 sales slow, but retailers 'hopeful' Christmas spend will match predictions
Fri 9 Jan 2015 | 1:44 pm
Tess Bennett
Retail groups are optimistic that the $45 billion forecast to go through tills in the lead up to Christmas has been spent, but will have to wait until next month when ABS retail trade figures for December 2014 are released to know for sure.
Christmas sales got off to a slow start; ABS retail trade figures for November 2014 released today showed 0.1 per cent increase month on month.
The Australian Retailers Associated (ARA) noted that while "November's month on month growth was disappointing, year on year retail growth rose 5 per cent (seasonally adjusted, compared to November 2013) – a positive sign for the retail industry."
Prior to Christmas the ARA and Roy Morgan predicted $45 billion would land in retailers' tills from 15 November to 24 December 2014. ARA executive director Russell Zimmerman said retailers remain hopeful that goal was achieved despite the slow start to sales a month out from Christmas.
"We won't be able to confirm the actual pre-Christmas spend until December retail figures are released next month. However, after speaking with retailers across the country, many reported a fairly slow start to Christmas sales in November due to the reluctance of consumers to start their holiday shopping early. As usual, consumers left most of their shopping until the last minute," he said.
Zimmerman said disruption surrounding the Brisbane G20 had a negative impact on retail sales in November.
"The Australian Retail Index (delivered by BDO and Retail Express) stated that accessibility and availability are fundamental to sales, and both were diminished in the lead up to the G20 as barricades and closures were planted to etch a safe zone for the worlds most powerful. There was less traffic in Brisbane's CBD, shops temporarily suspended operations and a public holiday had been declared – all of which contributed to slower sales."

Q: How does my iSight have an exposure value below UVC's GET_MIN? I am accessing my Mac's iSight webcam. I would like to set it to a low exposure. Using USB Video Class I was able to query the exposure with GET_MIN and it returned 100. According to USB's documentation found here, you cannot set the value below this min. I also tried and it returns Control request failed:... error. This makes sense.
What I don't understand is how when I have autoexposure enabled, and I query the exposure value with GET_CUR, the value is 20. How can it be below the minimum? I would like to set it to a value below GET_MIN (i.e. to 20, but manually). Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to change GET_MIN?

Cynthia Nourse Thompson is currently associate professor and director of the graduate programs in Book Arts + Printmaking and Studio Arts at the University of the Arts. Prior to this position, Thompson served as associate professor and curator of Exhibitions at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. While there, Thompson established a unique vision for the gallery as well as public spaces on campus—most recently having secured the University's acquisition of works by Willie Cole, Chakaia Booker and Leonardo Drew for the campus public art advisory board. During her tenure at U of A, she brought Louis Bourgeois: Topiary the Art of Improving Nature to the gallery as well as curated an exhibition in honor of African American History Month titled Employing Voice, Embracing Agency that included works by Radcliffe Bailey, Demetrius Oliver, Mickelene Thomas and Willie Cole, among others. With the opening of 21c Museum Hotel and Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas, Thompson continued to fuel great interest in contemporary art in Northwest Arkansas, establishing the gallery as a premier venue in that region for exhibiting cutting edge, contemporary art. Thompson also served for 12 years as professor of Book and Paper Arts at Memphis College of Art (MCA), the chair of the Fine Arts Department, and curator of Exhibitions. As the curator and director of Visiting Artist lectures at MCA, her responsibilities as curator included the overall management and administration of the gallery's exhibition and visiting artist program; conceiving and directing all publications supporting the gallery's voice; and maintaining and directing a dynamic and high-profile exhibition schedule for the Main Gallery. Thompson created a national reputation and curatorial vision for the gallery at MCA. Exhibitions were reviewed in both local and national publications. Some of the international artists presented during her tenure included, among others, Louise Bourgeois, Petah Coyne, Lesley Dill, Andres Seranno, Gary Schneider and Amy Sillman; visiting artists of the lecture series comprised Ghada Amer, Janine Antoni, Polly Apfelbaum, Willie Cole, Petah Coyne, Lesley Dill and Juan Sanchez. In 2000, Thompson founded the New Visions Exhibitions Series, which focused on bringing cutting-edge, challenging contemporary art to the college and the community-at-large. The 2010 exhibition was a great success.
Thompson has also been a visiting faculty member at the University of Georgia's study-abroad program in Cortona, Italy; the prestigious Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy; and the University of Arkansas Program in Rome, teaching papermaking, book arts and printmaking. Thompson was the recipient of the 2003 Tennessee State Arts Commission Fellowship Grant and has been awarded numerous residencies, including Yaddo, Columbia College Chicago Center for Book and Paper Arts, Women's Studio Workshop Book Art Residency, the Visual Studies Workshop Book Art Residency, Minnesota Center for Book Arts Residency, the Atlanta Printmakers Studio Emerging Artist Residency, Summer Senior Artist in Residence Book Art and Printmaking Residency at the Oregon College of Art and Craft in Portland, and most recently a winter letterpress residency at Penland School of Craft. Solo exhibitions include the Robert C. Williams American Museum of Papermaking in Atlanta, the Clough-Hanson Gallery at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn., and the Morgan Conservatory of Paper in Cleveland. Her work is in the collection of Arkansas State University, the Tennessee State Museum, and Dieu Donne Papermill, among many others. Thompson received her BFA in Printmaking from the Maryland Institute College of Art, and her MFA from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. In addition to teaching and curating, Thompson previously worked at Dieu Donne Papermill, Harlan & Weaver Intaglio, Inc., and the Rutgers Center for Innovative Print and Paper, now the Brodsky Center for Innovative Editions.

A gunman opened fire at the NJ Garden State Plaza Mall on November 5, 2013. Richard Shoop, 20, of Teaneck, N.J., fired his weapon at least six times. The gun, described as a modified rifle, was owned lawfully by his brother. Bergen County reported the first call came in shortly after 9 p.m., shortly before the mall was closing for the evening. Approximately 400 people were still inside the mall when police ordered a lock-down of the entire building. Shoop's body was found in a back area of the mall around 3:20 a.m. According to reports, Shoop had a history of drug abuse. Full article.
Under New Jersey law, all weapons holders must have a lifetime firearm purchaser card to purchase or own rifles, shotguns, handguns, and ammunition. Owners must also have a separate permit from a local police department for each handgun. Those permits must be renewed within 90 days of expiration. New Jersey limits the time period in which handguns may be purchased. Handguns may only be purchased every 30 days. If you are in violation of any of the gun laws or permit laws in New Jersey, you could face serious fines and penalties.

Surrounded by ever-increasing complexity and uncertainty, there is one attribute which everyone, particularly leaders, needs to foster if they are to thrive – or even just survive.
When the world is rapidly changing and becoming ever more complex, and pretty much every industry is being disrupted or transformed, making assumptions that what we know is all we need to know is a big mistake. Increasingly we need to find out what else is going on that maybe, just maybe, might be significant in the future. If the turkey was curious about why the farmer kept feeding him every day, rather than just knowing the food was going to turn up, he might have had time to establish an escape plan before Christmas!
Often in our professional training we are trained to find out more and more about less and less. Consider this. What if what you know so much about gets disrupted by something from out of left field that we didn't see coming (because we were so busy looking through our blinkers)? Our deep (but narrow) insight becomes obsolete. Depth over breadth is increasingly unhelpful.
As well as giving us potential early warning of changes and disruption yet to come, habitual curiosity is a starting point for our own development and learning. With the world's knowledge now only a few clicks away for those who crave it, the curious get a head start when it comes to their own learning. With people following multiple career paths in a lifetime, this is key to the important skill of reinventing oneself and staying marketable.
On a one-to-one basis, interpersonal curiosity is the key to building meaningful and lasting relationships. The time-honoured dating advice has always been true – if you want someone to like you, ask them lots of questions about them and their life!
Finally, most of us find life to be far more more interesting as you find out more about its diverse twist and turns.
So how can we develop our curiosity?
First off, while some people are naturally curious individuals, it is important to realise that it is developable. It is possible to get in the habit and state of mind where we ask why and search broadly for insights and information, across ever wider situations.
Stick a post-it on your screen with "Don't assume" in big friendly letters. The biggest killer to curiosity is assuming you know enough.
Make time to ask why something is like it is, and look at alternative explanations. When exploring an idea, stop and plan out what other sources of insight there might be. Force yourself to look as wide a possible in that search for information.
Vary your sources of information: what you read, what you watch, which website you visit and who you speak to. Pay attention to the diversity of insights from people with differing backgrounds, ages, roles and professions. Explore the factors behind why someone has a different opinion. Actually listen and think about what (and why) they say.
Don't judge, just listen. Don't start thinking about what you are going to say next. Don't take the first answer you get. Listen to the end, playback your understanding, then a ask follow up question (also an excellent coaching technique).
Cross generational curiosity (that is, getting insight from different generations who may have different perspective due to the specific conditions they grew up in) is helped by finding a reciprocal mentor – someone at least a whole generation older or younger than you.
Plan your Google search. Google is great at giving you answers to the question you ask – but is it the right question? Increasingly, good schools are helping students develop this skill.
Ask people what they feel, not just what they think. We often ask people what they think, but we know decisions and behaviours are actually driven by how people feel about something. Simply asking people how they feel often uncovers a whole new raft of insight.
Value breadth over depth. Find out something, and then look for something else maybe that is strikingly different – you can always drill deeper later to the one that stands out.
Be curious about what seems 'every day' normal. Ask why is it like this? Most disruptive innovation starts like this.
Seek out naïve experts – that is someone who is an expert in their field, but knows little about your world or specific problem. Often these insights are hugely powerful.
Be aware of biases and conditioning. We all have them.
Nurture serendipity – The brand new biomedical research institute, The Frances Crick Centre for medical research in London uses architecture to force cross-disciplinary researchers who will work there to physically meet each other, thus promoting serendipitous connections. The building is designed so to go to the loo or make a coffee you have to meet others from different parts of the building.
How can we use curiosity develop others?
If curiosity is so important for everyone, how can we as leaders encourage and develop others?
Well first we can model and champion curiosity. If we want more curiosity in our culture, remember that culture is largely a result of how the leadership visibly behave.
Recognise and reward curiosity. If you spot it, draw attention to it and say 'great job'.
Create the opportunity to expose people to 'different' perspectives, especially if there is a strategic theme. Some real examples of this: doctors spending time with airline pilots to learn about the safety culture and system, or Google and Unilever swapping staff so that a tech company could better understand marketing, an area it is increasingly dominating while a FMCG marketing company could get more insight on the digital world.
Finally, what about our children?
If curiosity is important now, it's definitely going to be more important in the future and we should be doing all we can to nurture the habit and develop the skills in our children. In Guy Claxton and Bill Lucas's excellent book Educating Ruby, curiosity is top of their list of '7C's' that educators should focus on, together with Confidence, Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, Commitment and Craftsmanship.
Developing curiosity is one of 15 future leadership behaviours explored in the Masterclass "High performance leadership in a disrupted and changing world".

I Baiardo sono una famiglia iscritta nell'Annuario della Nobiltà Italiana e nel relativo elenco dal 1927. L'Illustre famiglia trae origine verso la metà del XVI secolo ed è, da tradizione, associata a Jeanne Terrail de Bayard, unica figlia di Pierre Terrail de Bayard detto "il Baiardo" noto per essersi distinto durante le guerre rinascimentali italiane. Nata principalmente in Liguria e soprattutto nel Genovese, è sviluppata in diversi rami nel Nord Italia.
