On a different spectrum from traditionally popular MOBA titles, NCSOFT's upcoming free-to-play Action MOBA Master X Master operates like a MOBA in game mode structure, but controls more like a twin-stick shooter. While MOBA fans may find this a bit off, the amount of direct, hands-on control over moving a character with the WASD keys can be a welcome departure from the feel of playing something with a more disconnected point-and-click control scheme. Then there is MXM's TAG system, which allows a player to swap between two characters — called masters — in real-time. Sitting down with NCSOFT at E3, we were afforded some personal hands-on time with their action-oriented take on the MOBA genre.
Master X Master doesn't immediately feel like a MOBA, instead it feels like an twin-stick shooter and action-RPG hybrid that just so happens to have a heavy MOBA-oriented gameplay focus. Starting off with the Fire Temple event stage, a co-op PvE mode, did a great deal to enhance that feeling too. Since the stage involves battling through a dungeon of different mobs and mini-bosses, only to do battle against an unlockable master at the end of it, players can use PvE to grind for loot and unlocks on their own. Using the newly featured mid-range attacker Taejin, and the AoE berserker Cagnazzo, getting into the flow of switching between two characters of notably different play-styles in the heat of the moment proved difficult to adapt to. But that was the price of rolling with two very different character types. After sections of a PvE dungeon, the game grades player performance and uses the grades to determine the level and rarity of loot players have access to when they prevail. PvE was pretty straight-forward, but served as a great way to practice characters without potentially being someone else's problem if the practice goes bad. An added bonus, of course, is that there is at least loot at the end of it. As MXM is a multiplayer title, the PvE sections don't quite stand out when all the other PvP modes will likely be more exhilarating than dungeon-crawling for loot. But the option is there and many will likely appreciate having it.
There is a roster of thirty characters, six of which were freshly available during the session. As an action-oriented game, dodging plays a big role in surviving. Characters have different stamina bars that determine the amount of dodging they can do before needing to recharge. Being able to dodge at all, and not having to just run out of the way, definitely makes any given character feel less vulnerable. On top of that, using the keys to move gives players access to a more active level of maneuverability in the face of skill-shots and precision-dependent ultimate moves. It all makes aiming and attacking less hazardous and defensive play easier to grasp. Of course, it's also balancing nightmare to allow players simultaneous access to two masters at once. When a master is tagged out, their HP will slowly restore itself, so the strategy of knowing when to switch out masters and when to bear with it will no doubt play a large role in determining someone's skill. It works like fighting games in a sense that even the switching itself is a tactical tool. When characters are switched, the master that's tagged in has a few invincibility frames. Switching can be used as a last-ditch attempt to survive, especially since losing one Master means losing both. On the other hand, baiting a character switch would be a simple tactic for knocking someone out of the fight early on.
Without access to the more MOBA-like 5 vs. 5 PvP mode covered before, this experience was more about the 3 vs. 3 co-op PvP mode instead. With a smaller map, and more simple objective of just murdering each other, 3 vs. 3 PvP gets out of hand fast. Fortunately, dying nets access to spending points on skills and leveling up. Assuming players avoid near-instant death each time they spawn, fallen masters will come back stronger each time. When faced with just another pair of masters, the possible combinations of different masters becomes an interesting idea to toy with. After all, different masters are geared toward different styles of combat, so a match of six players equates to six basic styles of play with many more strategies and potential synergies on top of that. In many ways, the TAG system seems to grant a liberating degree of flexibility for each player. All of a sudden, the dynamic of a team is likely to shift suddenly and drastically. There is no sure indication on when a player will switch their characters for the first time, and that sees opposing teams entering battles with fewer unknowns than other games of the genre. Interestingly, TAG does not shift the balance of classes too much. Traditional team configurations still work splendidly, there's just more of them at once.
Master X Master is interesting at a mechanical level. As it is, MXM is shaping up to be a great option for people looking for something new out of their MOBA. The sense of control and involvement seems on par with the best the genre has to offer, but with the added bonus of a smooth learning curve. The strategic options will no doubt excite and intrigue players for a long time to come – assuming the balancing is on point. Nevertheless, it is still too soon to tell if MXM has what it takes to be the next big thing on the MOBA scene. Fortunately for those who want to find out, Alpha Playtest 1, the very first closed test, is taking place this weekend on June 24 through 27.


Walker's Crispmas celebration! - I love a gimmick!
OK. I'm a sucker for a gimmick. Tonight while picking up some emergency packed lunch provisions for Imogen I spotted the display of Walkers Festive crisps. One multipack was Christmas Dinner for Sprout Lovers and the other was for Sprout Haters. I realise that they are mainly selling this on the packaging and in reality, they'll all taste like bacon, beef or chicken crisps. All of which get left behind when we buy a multi-pack/box. However, I decided to take one for the team and test the flavours and let you know what they actually taste like.
I am a sprout hater and only really eat them at Christmas to show a good example to the kids. Plus you need to have the ability to compete in the after dinner wind sound off!
The brown body of the packet suggests chicken flavouring to me and I'm sure it will taste like this. Before eating the first crisp I've had a sniff in the back and it smells like… biscuits! A little strange, but that's what I'm getting out.
After 3 crisps I'm not really getting any stuffing flavours, mainly salty Chicken. No real surprise there then.
A dirty pink coloured bag suggests bacon flavour crisps. Which again I'm not a huge fan of as they are usually very salty flavoured. The sniff test oozes bacon scent.
After 3 crisps, I've gone from bacon, bacon, to actually its a milder taste with a slightly sweet aftertaste. I'm actually surprised here that this does taste different to the classic flavours.
If you've read my festive sandwich post, you'll know I'm a little obsessive over the cranberry sauce. So I have high hopes for this, but not sure how you can pull off such a sweet taste with a crisp.
The nose test brings out a light footy odour! I'll not let that put me off though.
After 3 handfuls of crisps, there is a fruity sense there. Not really strong, but a very light fruity almost wine-like taste hovering around a very light cheese flavour. Certainly not as strong as a cheese and onion packet.
The Sprout lovers pack also contains the Turkey and Stuffing flavour, so I'll not try that one again.
With a deep pink bag, I will be amazed if this one is not bacon flavoured crisps. It is 2 layers of pork-based items as it's concept. Will it be subtle or a salty bacon punch.
This one doesn't have much of a fragrance which I wasn't expecting.
the 3 crisp taste test, says… they're not just bacon flavouring. It is milder than bacon. There is a slight barbecue smokiness to the taste. Maybe even a slight sweetness to a possible chipolata sausage!!
The last one and the main reason I started this is the deep green Brussel Sprout crisp bag. Green usually means Salt and Vinager. However, it also represents The Sprout. To me, the actual vegetable tastes like ear wax and I'm half thinking this is like a bushtucker trial, but I'll keep going.
In big letter son the packet, it states "Image of sprouts for illustrative purposes only. Product contains no Brussels Sprout; flavouring only". This may be down to people thinking it was full of finely sliced and fried mini cabbages. But it will be normal crisps with a flavouring coating.
The nose test gives out a crispy seaweed scent. Like you get at a Chinese banquet.
After 3 crisps I can confirm they taste sprouty. There is an earthy taste, but also a vegetable stirfry flavour there. With a heavy leafy green body. The first one was a challenge, second and third easier.
Overall I enjoyed 4 out of the 5 flavours. The Sprout flavour did exactly what it said it would. Turkey and stuffing was a letdown, but I think its hard to capture the flavour of two mild tasting items. Chees and Cranberry was possibly my favourite, followed by Pigs in Blankets. A definitely good product to get involved with the Christmas food wars.
Finally, to add in full clarity, I paid for these myself and this is not an associated sponsored post. They cost £1 per multi pack, which I feel they're worth pushing the boat out for. However, they';re not going to replace my favourite Prawn Cocktail crisps any day soon.
So glad you've done this because I never would have been brave enough to give any of these a go and I have been curious … why would anyone want to eat crisps that taste of sprouts?!! Madness!

Genji | Overwatch skin description
"Ryuujin no ken wo kurae!" -Genji As the youngest son of the master of the Shimada ninja clan, Genji lived a life of luxury and privilege. He had little interest in the family's illegal businesses, and although he excelled at and enjoyed his ninja training, he spent most of his time pursuing a playboy lifestyle. Many within the clan considered the carefree Genji to be a dangerous liability, and they resented his father for coddling and protecting him. Following the clan leader's untimely death, Genji's older brother, Hanzo, demanded that Genji take a more active role in their late father's empire. Genji refused, enraging Hanzo. The tension between the brothers built to a violent confrontation that left Genji on the verge of dying. Hanzo believed that he had killed his brother, but Genji was rescued by Overwatch and the intervention of Dr. Angela Ziegler. The global security force saw Genji as a potential asset in its ongoing operations to combat the Shimada clan. As Genji's injuries left him clinging to life, Overwatch offered to rebuild his body in exchange for his help. He was put through an extensive process of cyberization, which enhanced his natural speed and agility and augmented his superlative ninja skills. Transformed into a living weapon, Genji single-mindedly set about the task of dismantling his family's criminal empire. But as time passed, Genji felt increasingly at war with himself. He was repulsed by the mechanical parts of his body and could not come to grips with what he had become. When his mission was complete, he abandoned Overwatch and wandered the world in search of meaning. He drifted for many years before crossing paths with the omnic monk Zenyatta. Though Genji initially rejected Zenyatta's wisdom, the benevolent omnic would not be deterred. In time, Zenyatta became his mentor, and under the monk's tutelage, Genji reconciled his dual existence as both man and machine. He learned to accept that although he had a cyborg body, his human soul was intact, and he came to see his new form as a gift and a unique strength.
To download and use Genji | Overwatch skin for Minecraft game you need to have purchased and installed Minecraft game.

This is the second in a series of blogs aiming to give the reader an easy 'at a glance guide' of where to go in sub-Saharan Africa and get the best out of it – after all there's no point in going to the Okavango Delta to see the annual flood but arriving in October and wondering where all the water has gone!
Botswana – the hot and rainy days of summer are coming to an end to be replaced with clear blue skies and a slight, but growing, nip to the evenings with night time temperatures far more conducive to a good nights' sleep before your early morning wake up call, cup of tea and game drive.
The Okavango Delta waterways are filling up whilst further south the Kalahari Desert is springing into bloom. It's a magical time of the year with the annual inundation of waters from the Congo just around the corner. Oh, and prices are far lower than the coming peak season.
Wildlife viewing is superb with the waters and fresh grazing drawing in all manner of wildlife. Birding though tails off a little as the migratory species begin to move off to their summer locations further north.
My favourite camps to visit at this time would be Jacks Camp in the Makgadikgadi Pans and Little Vumbura in the Okavango Delta.
Malawi – should also have seen the end its rainy season by now with many times more water than Botswana having fallen – some 500 mms in all, over the past three months!
The national parks are all incredibly verdant which makes game viewing a little harder and you need to persevere but it is worth the effort. Malawi though has so much more to offer with its jewel being Lake Malawi – 'discovered' by the Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone some 150 years ago. Add to that the Zomba and Nyika plateaus and there is something for everyone.
Namibia – to my mind April is one of the best months to visit Namibia, at least as far as the temperature is concerned, away from the heat of the summer. Like Malawi, Namibia is more than just a safari destination, but in a totally different way; one is sub-tropical and one is largely desert.
The Etosha Pan will be full and much of the wildlife will have moved away from the permanent water holes, so you'll have to be more patient than in the dry times, but there is still much to see.
The Caprivi Strip will undoubtedly be the region to visit at this time of year with teeming birding and plenty of big game. From there drive on to Kasane and visit the Chobe National Park in Botswana and spend some time close to Victoria Falls which will be close to its peak flow.
Tanzania – April is in the midst of its long rains, so it's probably not the best time to go to Tanzania for a beach holiday, but if you put that to one side and dress accordingly the game viewing at this time of year is superb.
The huge herds of the annual migration have all calved and are now on the move, massing in their hundreds of thousands and grazing in the southern Serengeti prior to their destined move northwards towards, ultimately, the Masai Mara in Kenya.
I'd either stay in one of the properties close to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and drop down to the southern Serengeti or in one of the permanent lodges such as the Serena.
Zambia – the end of the summer rains heralds the re-opening of Zambia's bush camps and the beginning of what is known as the 'emerald' season – the bush is verdant and the rivers are full – it's the time of plenty for Zambia's wildlife.
South Luangwa is certainly the place to be; this gem of a hidden valley is well known for sightings of leopards and perhaps a little counter-intuitively for its incredible walking safaris.
I would head to Mchenja, a gem of a bush camp set in a mahogany grove on the banks of the Luangwa River.
Here are my Top 5 places to visit in Africa in April; well, ones technically a reason.
5. And finally marvel at the stunning night skies; they just have to be seen to be believed – if you can organise a sleep out then do so, you will not be disappointed.

You Did It! A Million Miles!
Red Bull set the UK a target of one million human-powered commuter miles for the #MillionMileCommute during the month of July, and you did it!
Perhaps partly due to the hot weather, making buses, trains and tubes less appealing, UK commuters managed to log 1,0009,969 in just 30 days. The Million Mile Commute also ran in 2017 but then it took runners and cyclists just under three months to reach the target!
Once participants signed up to the initiative, they were encouraged to log their commute on Strava. There were notable over-achievers with rider Daniel Dignam from Cambridge, logging 1,401.61 miles throughout July cycling, on average, an incredible 40 miles before work. The top runner was Paul Martelletti who covered 316.38 miles across the streets of London as part of his commute, averaging 14 miles per leg. Martelletti is an ultra-runner, known for running the quickest ever marathon dressed as a superhero, he also won the inaugural UK leg of the Wings for Life World Run who outran the Catcher Car for an incredible 69.37km and came 5th in the World rankings.
This year, Red Bull also launched the Extra Mile Workplace Awards, in association with Cycling UK. Hundreds of businesses have entered the new series of accolades to recognise the UK's best workplaces for active transport. This incentive, run in association with Cycling UK, will soon reward an overall winner, with subcategories available for "Best for Cycling", "Best for Running", "Best Start Up or Micro Business", "Best Small Business", "Best Medium Size Business" and "Best Enterprise Business".

From the muddy mayhem of Paris-Roubaix through the drama-riddled Tokyo Olympics, the 2021 season was so good that a 10-point "best-of" wouldn't do it justice.
That's why Ben Delaney, Sadhbh O'Shea, Andrew Hood and Jim Cotton are bringing you their picks of the 21 biggest storylines of the year, and dig into why they matter.
21 for 2021, part one: Wout's Tour triple, a women's Roubaix, Lachlan's big ride, and more
Here's the second in 0ur three-part "21 for 2021" series, featuring "Superman" going sour, Belgians in a beef, and much more.
8: Tadej Pogačar's history-making medley

Also read: Pogačar punches into record books with Liège-Tour-Lombardia sweep
JC: The world was well aware that Tadej Pogačar was no ordinary rider when he crushed Primož Roglič at the last in the 2020 Tour de France. But what he did this year elevated the 23-year-old into a whole new dimension.
A sprint win at Liège-Bastogne-Liège set in train a season of swaggering dominance in the WorldTour's biggest races. His five-minute yellow jersey defense was the next highlight in a year that came to a fitting end with another marquee win at Il Lombardia.
Throw in another three stage-race wins and a spot at the top of the year-end UCI rankings, and little more needs to be said.
But Pogačar's Liège-Tour-Lombardia triple does something more – the Slovenian's exploits in 2021 made him the first rider since Fausto Coppi and Eddy Merckx to win two monuments and the Tour in one year. It's an achievement that further reconfirms what we already knew – this guy is a once-in-a-generation talent.
Just to make his rivals a little more flustered, he was just doing it all for fun.
"I've heard a lot about making history today, but I don't think about it. I just enjoy riding my bike," Pogačar said after winning Lombardia.
"I just enjoy racing – one-week races, grand tours, and I love one-day races because they're different, they're exciting and interesting. I like this kind of racing."
9: Ashton Lambie's sub-four solo
Read more: Ashton Lambie demolishes 4km IP world record with a time of 3:59.93
BD: What does one do when Olympic aspirations are thwarted? For Ashton Lambie, part of the answer was: train like a mad monk in a Montana shed, and then set a world record and then win a world title.
Lambie, a pursuit specialist, was not in Tokyo this year because the Americans didn't qualify for the team pursuit, and the individual pursuit is no longer in the Olympics.
So, he set himself a new goal: be the first man on earth to ride the 4km IP in under four minutes.
After training with a weight rack and a smart trainer in that Montana shed, Lambie flew to Mexico, where he had booked the appropriate UCI officials to witness his world-record attempt. And, he failed.
On his first of two days at the track, he came up short. He was devastated, but he returned the next day, and went 3:59.930.
Later in the year, he beat his own Goliath, too, in the form of world time trial champion Filippo Ganna, and won the world championship in the individual pursuit.
10: Miguel Ángel López goes 'loco' at the Vuelta a España

Read more: How Óscar Pereiro set the López trap
AH: This was the reach-for-the-popcorn moment of 2021.
Miguel Miguel Ángel López's implosion that unfolded on live TV during the penultimate stage at the Vuelta a España was better than a plot in a Brazilian soap opera.
Everyone knew López has anger-management issues. Remember the time he slapped the cap off a fan's head who knocked him off his bike back in that Giro? What we didn't know is how far he would take things.
Up to the final hour of racing, things seemed to be going great inside the Movistar bus. López was hot off winning the Gamoniteiru stage and he and teammate Enric Mas were setting second and third in the virtual GC.
Then there was a split, and López was caught out on the wrong side. His blood started to boil, and the conspiracies started to grow in his mind. Then he did the unthinkable — he quit.
Colombian fans blame Movistar. Spanish fans point the finger at López. No matter who was at fault, the "Caso López" proved yet again that cycling delivers such delicious storylines that you cannot make this stuff up.
11: Gravel gets a (second) worlds
Read more: Gravel racers, race directors react to UCI gravel worlds announcement
BD: Gravel Worlds has been a thing since 2010. It is a grassroots Nebraska race whose tongue-in-cheek name pokes gentle fun at the UCI. But this September, the UCI announced that there would be an actual UCI gravel world championships in 2022.
The initial details were sparse: a group of qualifier races would determine who could take the start at the UCI gravel worlds. And yes, rainbow jerseys would be awarded to the fastest man and woman.
As of December 30, those qualifier races have not been announced, nor has the location or date of the UCI gravel worlds.
This story will continue into 2022…
12: The men's Belgian team makes a mess of worlds

Read more: Belgian ex-coach on men's road worlds: 'I could see the mistakes early'
SO'S: It should have been a euphoric day for the Belgian men's squad and fans, but it turned into a nightmare on the streets of Leuven. There had been questions over whether the boys in blue would race with multiple leaders in option, but the answer was resounding support of Wout van Aert. The 27-year-old had been in dominating form in the weeks leading up to the race and Belgium was almost bubbling over with excitement about the possibility of a home world champion.
However, it all started to fall apart pretty quickly as ructions began to form within the team and the plan all but went out of the proverbial window. The race exploded very early on, with Remco Evenepoel one of the key players in lighting the touch paper. By the time it all played out, Evenepoel was out the back of the group and van Aert was on his hands and knees.
Van Aert ultimately had no response when Julian Alaphilippe stormed away for his second world title and Leuven hero Jasper Stuyven could only manage fourth. Discussions about what went down continue until this day and they're unlikely to die down anytime soon.
13: Peter Sagan's switch to TotalEnergies

Also read: Sagan to get no easy ride to retirement at Team TotalEnergies
JC: Superstar showman Peter Sagan is always full of surprises. His decision to saddle up with Team TotalEnergies was sure one of them.
Sagan signed a two-year deal with the French team that put to bed a rollercoaster five years at Bora-Hansgrohe.
The Slovak flew high early on with the German squad, bringing the team a rainbow jersey, Paris-Roubaix trophy and one heck of a lot more before COVID, illnesses and injuries saw him off-key in recent seasons.
TotalEnergies invested big in bagging the 31-year-old, bringing not just Sagan, but his whole crew of staffers and wingmen to the long-running team.
With long-time partners Specialized Bikes and Sportful apparel also joining Sagan for the ride at TotalEnergies, the team will be bigger and badder than before as it eyes invites to the biggest races and its own slot in the WorldTour in 2023.
Will a new environment rekindle Sagan's mojo? And will it propel his team to the top-tier of racing?
Whether Sagan thrives or falters will be the story that just keeps giving next year. Expect wheelies, whacky interviews – and maybe some big wins.
14: Sepp Kuss and his high-flying season

Read more: An oral history of Kuss's tremendous rise
AH: Sepp Kuss and his climbing legs just keep getting better with age.
In 2020, Sepp Kuss made his Tour de France debut, proving he deserved to be on cycling's biggest stage with superb riding in the Alps.
In 2021, he consecrated his place among the best American cyclists with a dramatic stage victory on the roads of Andorra.
The last U.S. rider to win a Tour stage was in 2011 with sprinter Tyler Farrar, who is now working as a firefighter in Washington state. Since then, there's been close calls, a pair of top-5's with Tejay van Garderen, and some thrilling breakaways, but no stage wins.
The Durango Kid then backed it up with a career-first top-10 in a grand tour with eighth overall at the Vuelta a España. That was good for the first top-10 by a U.S. rider in the Vuelta since Tejay van Garderen was 10th in 2017.
For this natural climber from Colorado, the sky is the limit.

In this section, we will see a new version of TDA (Thread Dump Analysis) tool developed by the author of this blog (Sabha Parameswaran in collaboration with his colleague, Eric Gross, also from Oracle A-Team) and its capabilities as well as some real world samples of thread dump analysis before concluding the series.
As mentioned earlier, the current TDA tools (Samurai/TDA) don't mine the data inside thread dumps or provide a more detailed view of what each thread is doing while just limiting themselves to reporting the state (locked/waiting/running) or the lock information. No mention of type of activity within a thread, should it be treated as normal or deserving a closer look? Can a pattern or anti-pattern be applied against them? Any possible optimizations? Are there any hot spots? Any classification of threads based on their execution cycles?
In order to fill some of the gaps in the existing TDA Tools as well as provide a detailed analysis of WebLogic Server specific thread dumps, the author of this blog (Sabha Parameswaran) decided to developed a custom TDA tool that can suggest set of actions and recommendations based on some predefined thread execution patterns.
In collaboration with Oracle A-team colleague, Eric Gross, the author decided to enhance the existing open source TDA version 2.2 instead of reinventing the wheel and leveraging the capabilities of base TDA to handle base parsing of the thread dump, the UI and Reporting. Eric Gross enhanced the TDA to fully support Sun Hotspot, JRockit (support was partial for JRockit in base TDA v2.2) and IBM JVM Thread dumps as well as adding support for custom categories in the TDA tool. Sabha Parameswaran enhanced the tool's analytics capabilities - grouping of threads based on functionality and tagging of threads with advisories using pre-defined rules and patterns which can be extended to handle additional patterns.
We wish to thank Ingo Rockel, Robert Whitehurst and numerous others who had contributed to the original TDA which allowed us build on their work in delivering a more powerful tool for the entire Java community.
Once a thread dump is parsed and threads details are populated, each of the thread is then analyzed against matching advisories and tagged appropriately. The threads are also associated with specific Thread Groups based on functionality or thread group name.
Each of the advisory has a health level indicating severity of the issue found, pattern, name, keyword and related advice.
Each of the advisory gets triggered based on either call execution patterns observed in the thread stack or presence of other conditions (thread blocked or multiple threads blocked for same lock can trigger BlockedThreads Advisory). Sometimes a thread might be tagged as IGNORE or NORMAL based on its execution logic or might be tagged more specifically as involved in JMS send or receive client or a Servlet thread.
The health levels (in descending of severity) are FATAL (meant for Deadlocks, STUCK, Finalizer blocked etc), WARNING, WATCH (worth watching), NORMAL and IGNORE. Based on the highest criticality of threads within a group, that health level gets promoted to the Thread Group's health level and same is repeated at the thread dump level. There can be multiple advisories tagged to a Thread, Thread Group and Thread Dump.
The threads are associated with thread groups based on the functionality or thread names. Additional patterns exists to tag other threads (like iWay Adapter, SAP, Tibco threads) and group them. The summary page reports on health level of the group, total number of threads, threads that are blocked, critical advisories found etc.
The critical advisories (at Warning/Fatal health levels) found in individual threads are then promoted to the the parent thread group and reported in the thread group summary page.
One can see the thread groups are divided into two buckets - WLS and non-WLS related threads. The JVM threads, Coherence, LDAP and other unknown custom threads go under the non-WLS bucket while all the WLS, Muxer, Oracle, SOA, JMS, Oracle Adapter threads are all under the WLS bucket.
Clicking on the individual threads will display the advisories and thread stack.
The details of the advisory will pop up on mouse over on the advisory links.
The Advisories are color coded and details can be highlighted.
Sub-groups are also created within individual Thread Groups based on Warning Levels, Hot call patterns (multiple threads executing same code section), threads doing remote I/O (socket or db reads) etc.
Following snapshot shows example of a Hot call pattern where multiple threads appear to be executing the same code path (all are attempting to update the MBean Server with a new mbean).
Merge has been enhanced to report on the progress of the thread across the thread dumps. Based on the order of the thread dumps, the thread stack trace is compared for every consecutive thread dump.
Merging can also be done across multiple thread dump log files (like in case of IBM which creates new log file containing the thread dump every time a request is issued).
Thanks to the advisories and health levels, its easy for users to quickly understand the usage patterns, hot spots, thread groups, as well as highlight the patterns or anti-patterns already implemented in the advisory list.
For example of an anti-pattern: a Servlet thread should not be waiting for an event to occur as this will translate to bad performance for end user. Similarly usage of synchronous jms consumers might be less performant compared to using async consumers. Too many WLS Muxer threads is not advisable. If WLS Muxer or Finalizer threads are blocked for unrelated locks, this will be a fatal condition. It would be okay to ignore STUCK warning issued by WLS Server for Pollers like AQ Adapter threads but not for other threads that are handling servlet request.
The thread groups help in bunching together related threads; so SOA Suite users can see how many BPEL Invoke and Engine threads are getting used, B2B users can see number of JMS consumers/producers, WLS users can look at condition and health of Muxer threads, similarly for JVM/Coherence/LDAP/other thread groups.
The merged report lets the user see at a glance the critical threads and check if they are progressing or not instead of wading through numerous threads and associated thread dumps.
We hope this tool can really help both beginners and experts do their jobs more quickly and efficiently when it comes to thread dumps.
•UnsyncCircularQueue$FullQueueException: Queue exceeded maximum capacity of: '65536' elements.
There were also frequent log messages of p13n cache getting updated and flushed repeatedly. The p13n cache is the Personalization cache used internally by Portal for handling Portal personalization. Each of the servers in the cluster are kept of changes in cache via multicast broadcasts. When the customer disabled the p13n cache, the server regained normalcy and responsiveness. But the p13n cache is a requirement for portal application functionality and its not possible to have it disabled.
The FullQueueException essentially indicated that the WLS's internal request queue was getting overwhelmed with requests and its starting to ignore/drop new requests as its already has 64K requests waiting to be executed. These requests can be internal (like transaction timeouts, schedulers, async processing) or externally generated (like client http requests). The storm of requests coupled with p13n being a key presence for the issue indicated p13n cache is triggering an internal flood of requests to the server somehow. It was decided to take thread dumps to understand what the p13n cache is executing.
Analyzing the thread dumps threw light on a weird behavior.
The above thread stack indicates the MulticastReceiver used by WLS internally to handle multicast announcements got some request/announcement that gets handled by the p13n cache. It appears to trigger a flush of local keys in the cache. But then it gets modified as a flush of cluster keys which then results in a MulticastSender sending out a cluster broadcast.
This essentially means for every announcement that lands on a server instance, it will resend the announcement to other members whcih then gets replicated for every member across the cluster leading to an infinite looping of the same message and contributing to a never ending multicast packet storm.
Analyzing the product code against the stack trace, it appeared that there was a mismatch between the CacheManager.flushKeys() implementation as the method code lines didn't match. So, it was apparent that there was some variant form of CacheManager that was getting picked by the application while handling the cluster announcements.
Using WLS ClassLoader Analysis Tool (CAT), we were able to drill down to where this particular CacheManager class was getting loaded from. It was packaged inside a jar that got added to the Portal EAR application libraries. Removing that particular jar containing the CacheManager resolved the problem. Later investigation revealed that the jar came from an older version of the Portal Product and should not have been used with the latest version of Portal that was being tested on Exalogic. The analysis of a single thread stack trace helped pin point the root cause for all the hang conditions in this scenario.
Although Thread dumps can throw light on multiple things, there are also some limitations.
It can show what is the pattern executed but not how many times it was executed previously (unless there are multiple threads dumps captured at periodic intervals).
Even if thread dump does not give a direct solution, it can definitely provide good pointers as to where the problem lies and what are the hotspots.
Threads stuck in socket connect indicates the backend service itself is unavailable or not listening at that address or wrong connection detail or connection recreation every time.
Threads blocked in opening files, jars, zips or checking on file attributes can indicate problem in reading the application bits or files on a remote storage or network mount point that's will slow down server startup/deployment. One customer problem was related to server instance accessing WLS install & deployed application bits from a remote site that was about a hundred miles away.
For cluster related or distributed system issues, thread dumps should be captured and analyzed from all related parties (cluster/services).
Thread Dump Analysis is a really valuable and key weapon in every Java Developer and Architect's arsenal when it comes to understanding, identifying and resolving performance or other issues. I hope this series (along with the new enhanced TDA tool) helps makes it easier and useful for people to troubleshoot, tune performance and get a better handle over complex Java/JEE systems.
Thanks for the article. It Provided some light over the thread dumps. will the new version of the TDA with Advisory will be available for download?
I have the same question.Is this TDA version 3.0 available for download?
Please download the tool from http://java.net/projects/threadlogic/downloads. Or you can sync up and build directly the latest sources from the repository also.
you are welcome to fork TDA, but please choose a different name and a different logo.
Hi Sabha - I have downloaded the ThreadLogic 0.95 version. I opened the jar file and did not see any setup.exe file. I want to install this tool on my laptop. Can you please tell me how to install it.
Just run the jar: java -Xmx512m -Xms512m -jar threadlogic.jar to bring up the tool.
It looks like a great tool.
I opened the tool and opened the IBM thread dump - javacore.*.*.txt.
It doesn't open it nor does it give any error.
Does it support IBM dumps?
When I try to parse a nohup file with thread dump, I am getting this error. Please help.
Can you build using the latest sources from the project? or I can email you the latest build if otherwise if you give me an addr.
Very nice article...Really helps in understanding what to look for in thread dumps.
Never been able to analyze anything with this tool.
I can only import 30 files, but nothing is analyzed (even if only open a single td), etc. Nothing is reported if there's an error inside the app.
Why I'm not able to open thread dump for the following JVM? I tried reading from clipboard, from a file but neither worked!
Thank you very much for a great series..

Brexit trade talks and Freedom of movement between UK and Australia
Imagine being able to study, travel or work in Australia without restrictive Visa conditions. Such freedom of movement may become a reality. A new proposed deal between the UK and Australia may make it a whole lot easier to live and work in both countries without a visa.
In September 2019, Liz Truss, British Trade Secretary, visited Canberra, Australia for pre-Brexit trade talks. Her meeting with the Australian Federal Trade Minister Simon Birmingham discussed new freedom of movement as part of the pre-Brexit trade talks.
"We want a fully comprehensive trade deal that reflects our deep, ongoing relationship, the friendship between our two countries, the fact that Australians want to come and live and work in Britain, and Brits want to come and live and work in Australia," Ms Truss said.
"Leaving the European Union really does give us a chance as a country to become more outward-looking, to become more competitive, and to deepen our links with our partners right across the world."
"The reason that I've chosen to make Australia one of the first countries I've visited as Trade Secretary is this is an absolute priority for me to get on with this trade deal."
When asked about the proposal of freedom of movement between the Uk and Australia, Ms Truss responded by saying, "It's certainly something we will be looking at as part of our free trade negotiations."
Currently, Australia has a similar agreement with New Zealand to the proposal by the UK. The existing Trans Tasman arrangement allows for the movement of citizens of New Zealand and Australia. Also, with a special visa, New Zealand citizens can visit, study as well as work in Australia indefinitely.
The Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison said in August 2019, "The New Zealand arrangement is quite unique, and it's not one we would probably ever contemplate extending."
Presently the UK Government is also looking to have similar freedom of movement agreements with Japan, New Zealand as well as the USA. There is also the real possibility of the UK joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
In a statement by Ms Truss she said, "As the UK prepares to leave the EU on October 31, we look forward to taking back control of our trade policy and negotiating new free trade agreements." The statement continued with the British Trade Secretary quoted saying, "I am visiting some of our most like-minded trade partners this week to send a clear message: the UK is an open, welcoming business destination and we are ready to trade."
Could freedom of movement between the UK and Australia Work?
In today's world where so much is electronic, it certainly could be much more straightforward than say 20 years ago, to implement. The UK and Australian governments share income data, so an Australian citizen working in the UK would still pay their share of taxation. Likewise, a Brit moving to Australia would pay theirs. Health services in the UK and Australia work similarly, so the idea could work in so far as taxation and health are concerned.
Fortunately, it is left up to the Governments of the respective countries to iron out the fine print, which could take a long time. Given the current Australian Prime Ministers stance on freedom of movement, it would seem unlikely despite best intentions from Ms Truss for this deal to be approved until a change in the Australian Government.
Regardless of how the deal would work, you would still require a Passport, and also possibly a special visa. A Special visa would have fewer restrictions in place compared to a standard travel or work visa.

The quality announcements keep on coming for SMACK / URLTV's Summer Madness 8 in London, with Arsonal vs. Nu Jerzey Twork the fourth announcement on an already stacked card on November 10 and came as somewhat of a surprise considering NJT's recent few months. The Jersey on Jersey battle promises to be a quality match-up, with Twork's performance against fellow Jersey battler Shotgun Suge recently dropping and showing him back at his near best.
This battle will certainly be a landmark test for NJT, facing the aggression and disrespect that has made Arsonal the legendary performer that he is, who is certainly at home on the biggest of stages. NJT has been inconsistent recently, with some below-par performances and no-shows certainly damaging his overall stock by his own admission. What is undeniable is the potential NJT has, and if he is able to show out on URL's biggest card of the year he may go a long way to being able to redeem himself in the eyes of the fans. If he stumbles again, it may be it for NJT on URL for quite a while (as per fellow-Jersey artist Tsu Surf's recent Twitter comments referencing Smack).
This will be NJT's first time battling out of America and will certainly prove to be a very difficult best against a seasoned Arsonal who has battled significantly abroad on multiple leagues, including in London numerous times (memorable clash, in particular, was his highly viewed battle vs. Shotty Horroh on Don't Flop in 2012). Arsonal is tried and tested, consistent and appears highly motivated for this match-up having requested in particular NJT for SM8 in order to continue to prove his reign as King of Jersey remains despite him jumping in and out of battle rap retirement. Considering the magnitude of the stage, we should expect a fully prepared NJT in London as a lot is riding on this. Will he be able to keep his cool and get three quality, full rounds off with Ars barking in his face though throughout? The stage is set in London for NJT's greatest test yet, and he could prove himself to be back in contention as one of URL's top up and comers along with Geechi Gotti and B Dot who have both been extremely consistent of late. If the remaining matchups are as quality as the first four, URL may cement SM8 as being the battle rap card of 2018. Jersey.

Q: Using XPath selectors with JQuery in Firebug I'm trying to use XPath selectors with JQuery, but when I drop down to firebug (for example, in the linked page), I get syntax errors for the simplest XPath expressions:
>>> jQuery('//div')
"Syntax error, unrecognized expression: //div"

Am I doing something wrong, or are xpath selectors no longer supported?

A: xpath support was dropped in jquery 1.2. You can use xpath plugin if you really need it.

A: XPath is not supported anymore. xpath functions not supported in jquery also talks about this.
To get all divs, use this:
>>> $('div')

or
>>> jQuery('div')

depending on your setup.

The Monte Carlo Whisky Festival will return to Monaco this autumn to celebrate all things Scotch at some of the principality's most exclusive locations. Hosted by La Maison d'Ecosse, the organisation founded by Anita di Sotto to promote cultural exchange between Scotland and Monaco, the festival promises three days of tastings, talks and celebrations all centred around Scotland's finest export.
Kicking off on November 3 with the Monte Carlo Whisky Conference at the Oceanographic Museum, the event will be opened by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, who is the honorary president of the Monte Carlo Whisky Society and Keeper of the Quiach. A panel of experts from Scotland's best whisky distilleries, including Charles Maclean of the Monte Carlo Whisky Society, Dr Bill Lumsden of Glenmorangie, Dr Sam Simmons of The Balvenie and Ronnie Cox of The Glenrothes, will offer whisky master classes as well as debating the merits of investing in and collecting whisky or buying it simply to drink and enjoy.
The conference will also feature an auction of ten bottles of Glenrothes' The Dow's 24-year-old Rare Single Cask from the Grimaldi Collection with the proceeds from two of the bottles to be donated to the Prince Albert Foundation and a yet to be confirmed Scottish charity.
Throughout the festival a tasting room will be open at the Hotel Metropole - one of the best hotels in Monaco - where visitors can meet experts, attend master classes, discover great whisky food pairings and attend the daily Whisky and Popcorn cinema which will be showing themed classics including The Angel's Share, Rob Roy and Whisky Galore.
The highlight of the whisky festival, however, is always the St. Andrews Gala Banquet which this year will be held at the Yacht Club de Monaco. Chefs Christian Garcia from the Prince's Palace and David Graham of Lews Castle have designed 2016's five-course menu of fine Scottish cuisine and each course has been paired with one of Glenrothes exceptional whiskies. Entertainment will come from traditional Ceilidh band Whisky Kiss while Scottish MP Alex Salmond will be on hand to address the haggis.
The Monte Carlo Whisky Festival takes place from November 2-6, 2016 with prices ranging from €140 - €8,000. Visit mcwhiskyfestival.com for tickets and information.


An effective and service-oriented tax administration is essential to ensuring a healthy business environment and promoting economic growth. As such, the Government of Tajikistan has made tax reform a major priority for the country as it seeks to achieve its development goals and reduce poverty.
Revenue collection in the country remains challenging, however. This is due to several factors, including poor quality taxpayer services, low institutional capacity, and gaps in tax policy analysis and revenue forecasting. Inadequate staffing, limited training, low levels of computerization and poorly integrated IT systems have further complicated procedures for taxpayers and make data collection difficult for Tajikistan's Tax Committee.
Coupled with reported corrupt practices by tax officials, these issues contribute to weakening both the business climate and private sector growth. Business surveys have regularly identified weaknesses in tax administration, as well as arbitrary and corrupt behavior by tax officials, as major impediments to the success of small and medium enterprises in Tajikistan.
The World Bank's Doing Business 2012 report ranked Tajikistan in 168th place out of 183 countries with regard to ease of paying taxes, and found that firms had to make 69 tax payments per year, compared to just 7 in Kazakhstan, 9 in Russia, 41 in Uzbekistan, and 52 in the Kyrgyz Republic.
To support the government's efforts to build a more efficient, transparent and service-oriented tax system, the World Bank-financed Tajikistan Tax Administration Reform Project was launched in 2013. The Project has made significant progress to date in helping the Tax Committee and its field offices to operate more effectively in a newly automated environment. Modernization of IT infrastructure and the introduction of a unified tax management system mean increased efficiency, with reduced physical interaction between tax officials and taxpayers.
The rate of e-filing is now as high as 87.4%, with 97.2% of all legal entities and 77.8% of individual entrepreneurs filing their tax returns electronically. The new system enables the Tax Committee to generate the data necessary for its analytical work, and to improve reporting and tax assessments.
A Tax Committee staff member is assisting a visiting taxpayer with online application, Contact Center in Dushanbe, December 2017.
Around 200 electronic kiosks are being built and equipped in remote locations around the country to help taxpayers who wish to file electronically but who do not have access to computers. This will help ensure that the Tax Committee can receive local taxes in time and with less cost.
Thanks to improved taxpayer services, the number of active firms and individual taxpayers filing taxes has doubled, with a significant increase in the amount of revenue collected. A taxpayer in Tajikistan spent 21 days in 2016 complying with all tax-related regulations, compared with 33 days in 2012, according to a recent study by the International Finance Corporation (IFC). This reduction in time spent represents a total of US$ 8 million in savings in one year for all taxpayers registered in the country. IFC has also supported improvements in tax administration by simplifying performance of tax procedures and increasing the quality of services by the tax authorities.
"Such programs have led to a substantial increase in tax collection and a reduction in corruption cited in business surveys," says Rajul Awasthi, project's technical lead and the focal point for the Europe and Central Asia region in the World Bank's Global Tax Team.
Through a dedicated Human Resource Management Information System, the Tax Committee is now able to manage all human resources-related issues such as recruitment, payroll, performance appraisal, benefits and competencies. In addition, an improved tax training institute in the capital Dushanbe, plus four regional training centers, provide regular training sessions to enhance the professional capacity of staff throughout the country.

Message from Rachel McCrea .
Would you please circulate the fact that we have had a break-in and seven of John's bows, an unknown quantity of arrows and a quiver have been stolen.
Among the missing items is John's 'Holy Joe' which is an Osage self bow which many archers have seen him shoot. Five of the others are self bows and the other one is made from laminates made from sixteen types of wood. All will have 'LL' , a number, draw weight (probably 40 @ 27).
These bows were stolen last night. Those of you that use E bay please look out for any really unusual self bows. No pictures I'm afraid.


Ohlins developed their shocks to perform in the most demanding conditions from hypersport bikes on the track to luggage loaded adventure touring bikes on the trail to two-up Harley Davidson cruisers on the main drag.
A long history providing racers with state of the art shocks have made Ohlins shocks the de facto standard in performance suspension for a wide variety of motorcycles and cars alike. STX rear shocks are a single tube shock absorber that comes in 3 different configurations for the reservoir. TTX rear socks use twin tube damper design. The two separate tubes allow the shock absorber to flow oil freely for pressure balance throughout rebound and compression. This eliminates the risk of air forming from cavitation.
