Q: Android robust threading Architecture? Asynctask vs thread/handler vs service/thread Let's say you're designing the threading architecture for a an app -> the primary purpose is that your app will have a lot of tasks that need something done on the background thread, and sometimes a result task on UI thread, or something not (though more times, the result needs to be run on UI thread). For simplicity, let's say the tasks will be stuff like: download a file and display a pop-up, log a user in and go to a different page, process an image and store the result in a database (popular tasks that a lot of apps do)
I've researched a lot about the nuances, but would really like a deep-dive explanation/knowledge on what kind of architecture is better, and what are the considerations.
here are the three models in consideration:

*

*AsyncTask model: each operation (like downloading a file and displaying a pop-up) is an AsyncTask, or some derivative of a parent class that abstracts out the common functionalities.

*Thread/handler model: i always create a new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()); and each time i need to do a task, i use a thread factory to spin off the task, with the handler on UI thread (or whatever custom handler).

*Service/Thread model: i use a general Service class that is in charge of operations based on some operation code. there's a bunch of ServiceTask derivative objects that do certain things, but the Service class communicates with each ServiceTask when tasks are started/done.

I'm slightly leaning towards going the whole service/threading model, just because i've read some really awkward nuances with AsyncTask/Threads:

*

*AsyncTask has a private static handler, and if the classloader calls it at the wrong time (such as including a library that uses it before your application does) then all of your onPostExecute will happen at the wrong time since your handler was not the main handler

*it's easy to forget to check a bunch of things in the onPostExecute such as if there was a config change, or your activity was destroyed, or application was backgrounded/paused when the onPostExecute is called (leading to crashes)

*AsyncTask changed its serial/parallel execution behavior on different APIs

*If you went with the Thread/Handler model, on older devices, thread priority is actually incredibly low. i've heard something like there was a priority scale of 1-15 such that your threads automatically get a low priority and if the system was low on resources, your threads would stop running (whereas since services are running independently of your activity the thread priority there is higher?)

What is the best way to design a robust threading architecture that doesn't easily lead to crashes/unexpected behavior while also maintaining good performance ??
Please also let me know in the comments if this question is too vague and if you need actual code (i'm afraid to post code because it would super overbloat the question length more than it already is).

A: I don't think you will find a one-size fits all approach here.

*

*Downloading a file? Use DownloadManager

*Logging a user in and go to next screen? Probably an AsyncTask would be best.

*Process an image and store it? A Service might be a good choice here since you don't want the action to be attached to any particular Activity.

*Handlers are more tricky, if they are attached to a Looper running on a background thread you need to call quit() on the Looper when you are done with it. Handlers are good when you need to delay an action, postDelayed() is great for that. They are also good when you need to communicate back to the UI thread from a background thread.

But yes you are correct that each one has pitfalls as you mentioned. Android is a complex beast and it seems they could have a done a better job preventing developers from shooting themselves in the foot, especially in regards to AsyncTask being called after an Activity is destroyed!

A: I was using Java's old school approach by creating a class (I called it ThreadRunner) derived from Java's Thread. A constructor looked like:
public ThreadRunner (Object [] params, AbstractCallback callBack) {...}

AbstractCallback was a class that was implemnting a single 'onCall' method and was mostly used to notify a calling party about an event such as "execution of a task is completed".
I've used it to get content from Internet and run other time consuming operations. It didn't cause any problems and worked as expected.
However, I've heard many times that AsyncTask is an Android-ish way of doing things like that. I don't know why and do not have any intention to change, since I'm preaching "don't fix it if it's not broken" approach.
I've seen also comments that you'll need to write less code with AsyncTask, but in my approach with traditional Java's Threat the amount of coding was small as well, so I queses it's just a matter of your personal preferences and experience.
In regard of your 3-rd approach - I think you should use it when write a service that runs all the time, listens on requests and never stops. When you just need to execute a single task asynchronously Java Threads or AsyncTask should be used.

A: I think AsyncTask is a good tool for listed purposes. But it needs to wrap AsyncTask for an easy using. My variant of such wrapping (with a progress indicator) is a following:
Main class AsyncActivity for extending it in application activities:
public abstract class AsyncActivity extends Activity{
// Поле нужно обязательно объявить как статическое!
private static AsyncConnect asyncConnect =  null;

protected void runBackgroundTask(String progressInscription, RequestTask task){
    asyncConnect = new AsyncConnect(this, responseListener, progressInscription, task);
    asyncConnect.execute();
}

protected abstract void onBackgroundTaskEnd(boolean result);

@Override
protected void onResume(){
    super.onResume();

    // Перерегистрируем текущий контекст этой формы
    // для корректной работы слушателя ответа с сервера
    responseListener.registerCurrentContext( this );

    if (asyncConnect != null){
        asyncConnect.onResume(this);
    }
}

@Override
protected void onPause(){
    super.onPause();

    if (asyncConnect != null){
        asyncConnect.onPause();
    }
}

/**
 * Чтобы диалоги не вызывались из устаревшего контекста
 * и по этой причине не исчезали при повороте экрана,
 * слушателя ответа с сервера необходимо сделать статическим полем класса,
 * в котором должен быть зарегистрирован текущий контекст
 */
private static final OnServerResponseListener responseListener = new OnServerResponseListener(){
    private AsyncActivity context = null;

    @Override
    public void registerCurrentContext(AsyncActivity context){this.context = context; }

    @Override
    public void onResponse(boolean result){
        // Если никакой контекст не был зарегистрирован, ничего не делаем
        if (context == null) return;

        // Освождаем статическое поле для сборщика мусора (но делать это не обязательно!)
        asyncConnect = null;

        // Вызываем колбэк о завершении фоновой задачи
        context.onBackgroundTaskEnd(result);
    }
};
}

Additional class and a pair of interfaces:
public class AsyncConnect {
private final Activity context;
private final RequestTask task;
private final String progressInscription;
private final OnServerResponseListener responseListener;
private boolean isDone = false;

private ProgressDialog progressDialog;

public AsyncConnect(Activity context, OnServerResponseListener responseListener,
        String progressInscription, RequestTask task){
    this.context = context;
    this.task = task;
    this.progressInscription = progressInscription;
    this.responseListener = responseListener;

    progressDialog = null;

    isDone = false;
}

public void execute(){
    if (isDone) return;

    new ConnectTask().execute();
}

public void onPause(){
    if (isDone) return;

    if (progressDialog != null){
        if (progressDialog.isShowing()){
            progressDialog.dismiss();
            progressDialog = null;
        }
    }
}

public void onResume(Activity context){
    if (isDone) return;

    progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show( context, null, (CharSequence)progressInscription,
        true, false);
}

private class ConnectTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, Boolean> {

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute( ) {
        super.onPreExecute();

        progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show( context, null,
            (CharSequence)progressInscription, true, false);
    }

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground(Object... messages) {
        return task.call();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);

        if (progressDialog != null){
            if (progressDialog.isShowing()){
                progressDialog.dismiss();
                progressDialog = null;
            }
        }

        // Делаем невозможным повторное использование этого объекта
        isDone = true;

        responseListener.onResponse(result);
    }
}

}

public interface OnServerResponseListener {
    public void registerCurrentContext(AsyncActivity context);
    public void onResponse(boolean result);
}

public interface RequestTask {
    public boolean call();
}

For using AsyncActivity we only need to call runBackgroundTask and implement onBackgroundTaskEnd in the target activity. It's possible to create different kinds of AsyncTask wrappings based on this idea.

A: You may also check out Needle; it's an open-source, simple but powerful multithreading library for Android. With it you can say things like:
Needle.onMainThread().execute(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // e.g. change one of the views
    }
});

or
Needle.onBackgroundThread().execute(new UiRelatedTask<Integer>() {
    @Override
    protected Integer doWork() {
        int result = 1+2;
        return result;
    }

    @Override
    protected void thenDoUiRelatedWork(Integer result) {
        mSomeTextView.setText("result: " + result);
    }
});

*

*very simple API

*fixed thread pool size

*customizable thread pool size

*supports UI interaction ("do work and then use result on UI thread")

*android 1.5+

*behaves the same on all platform versions

Organising events such as the Summer BBQ, Nearly New Sales, Easter Hunt and the Christmas Fair.
Raising funds to provide equipment for the school, such as play equipment, TV, Interactive Computer screen and 2 Minibuses.
Assist with running activities for the children such as the Easter Egg Hunt, Sports Days, Hay ride, Summer Fete.
Coordination of parent help days e.g. the sensory garden & play area.
Raising money for just causes – we have successfully run the MacMillan Cancer Support Coffee mornings for several years and have regularly raised over £200 which is donated directly to MacMillan.
It is commonly heard from parents that one of the things they love about the nursery schools is the environment and the nursery school community. It is these two elements that allow the nurseries to have activities such as the BBQ, summer fete and other events.
The facilities the nerseries offer and the willingness of parents to actively participate in supporting such ventures, provides a clear distinction above other nurseries. Similarly, there was a lot of positive feedback regarding the Christmas Fairs and Nearly New Sales stating that there were great atmospheres and fantastic quality items. All very positive stuff, but these events do not happen by themselves and it has been the efforts of the HSA to pull these things together for the enjoyment and benefit of all.
Before the HSA took on its charity status we started managing the original nursery minibus. We then replaced this with a fantastic new minibus since it was not only being used by the school in Wilton, but the other nurseries too, as well as for school farm visits and the After School Club. We then added a 2nd smaller minibus in 2016.
The Nearly New Sales were a real hit during the last couple of years which helped raise an average of £400/year. We have also run extremely fun and successful Easter Hunts where we had over 100 participants on some fabulous family fun-filled days. The Christmas Fair, Summer Fete & raffles are our biggest fundraisers.
The minibuses were obviously a huge purchase, which is something we couldn't have done without the support of parents and staff at South Hills! Also this support has helped to purchase many other resourses. Corsham are at present raising money to purchase an interactive computer desk.
Currently the team is very small, which limits what we can do. Clearly we are all volunteers, and have our own busy lives and therefore do not have unlimited hours to devote to the HSA. Our meetings are very informal and attendance is appreciated rather than expected. Each of us contributes what we can to forthcoming events, but no-one is asked to take on more than they are prepared to take on. But with more people, more can be shared out and more achieved.
being willing to bake a cake for sale at one of the events.
helping out with some of the classroom activities such as preparing craft activities in your own time at home.
being able to donate a couple of hours of your time to help set-up prior to an event.
having experience of fund-raising and willing to contribute ideas and suggestions.
having a particular skill or contacts that can be used by the HSA.
Thus, if you are willing to be someone we can call on, please give your name to your nursery manager. Alternatively, we would love to see you at one of the meetings. If all you can give is ideas, then we would love to hear them.


Barbara Corcoran, who made her fortune in real estate.
Barbara Corcoran recently made the point that bitcoin is perfectly suited to the real estate market.
According to Corcoran, the attraction of bitcoin is the privacy it permits the buyer and seller, cutting out the middleman.
However, she admits she will personally be refraining from investing in cryptocurrency due to its associated risks.
Think buying and selling homes for bitcoins sounds like a fad? To Shark Tank's Barbara Corcoran, it sounds like the future.
"It makes great common sense," Corcoran said in a recent interview with MONEY. "I'm being very optimistic because, as a long-term play, it's perfectly suited for real estate transactions."
Bitcoin's involvement in real estate is uncommon, but not unheard of. Properties have reportedly been sold for cryptocurrency from Texas to Manhattan, and there are currently 140 units for sale or rent on Zillow that mention Bitcoin in their listings. Corcoran, who sold the New York City real estate agency she founded for $66 million in 2001, says bitcoin home sales will only become more common in the future.
Why? "It's peer-to-peer, with no central anything, and that's why it's so powerful," Corcoran says. Such transactions, she explains, allow buyers greater privacy. "The main idea is to eliminate the middle guy."
In fact, Corcoran predicts bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will eliminate the need for banks.
"I really don't expect banks to be around 10 years from now unless they change their model," Corcoran says. "I don't see why it's going to be needed if bitcoin does what I believe it's going to do."
Not everyone believes cryptocurrency will catch on in the long run. Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett called bitcoin "probably rat poison squared," while Vanguard's Jack Bogle has warned investors to "avoid bitcoin like the plague." And, while Corcoran is optimistic about cryptocurrency in real estate, she says the concept does face some challenges.
For one thing, in a peer-to-peer crypto-sale there's no insurance or appraisal, she says, which makes people uncomfortable. And then there's the cryptocurrency's notorious volatility.
"I could agree, this week, that that unit is worth $3 million," Corcoran says. "If, by next Thursday, the bottom falls out and [the bitcoin] is worth $2 million, that $3 million agreement is useless."
And there's one reason Corcoran says she's personally staying away from cryptocurrency.
"I lose my credit cards at least once a week, I lose my cell phone once a month," Corcoran says, "and I can't even imagine being like that guy in England, what did he lose, $127 million because he lost his private key code?"
Still, Corcoran believes cryptocurrency will survive these bumps in the road — and anyone who says otherwise is "guarding the old guard."
"That, to me, is the death knell of an old business," Corcoran says. "The big guys that control the marketplaces are always the last guys to see the train coming."

How to Get People to Collaborate When You Don't Control Their Salary
Category Leadership
Most of us assume that if we want to change people's behavior, we need to change their incentives.
For example, after I published research and advice on collaboration in professional service firms, I heard from a surprising number of people who wrote to ask questions like, "Maybe it'll work in a partnership, like a law or consulting firm, but what about in my company, where employees aren't owners and can't change the rules?" People in industries as different as commercial real estate, pharma, biotech startups, hedge funds, and public school districts worried about how to transform a competitive, star-driven culture into a collaborative one when they had no power to juggle financial rewards and no influence over promotion decisions.
To pursue this issue, I picked a new research setting where the reward system is highly constrained — and so is the career ladder. By investigating how a leader can boost cross-silo collaboration without changing either the compensation or the promotion system, maybe we could find lessons that translate to companies where people also face limits on their ability to change organizational structures.
Tackling Collaboration in a Constrained Setting
The Boston-based Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is one of the world's leading institutions for adult and pediatric patients. Collaboration is as necessary as it is tricky in this setting. Just as with business knowledge, scientific knowledge is changing so rapidly that Dana-Farber's doctor-researchers must evolve quickly from generalists to specialists who focus on a highly specialized niche within cancer detection and treatment. Yet tackling cancer requires a multidisciplinary effort, ranging from disease biology to population monitoring. Research efforts can't focus on applying the findings of deep, narrow studies; they must add up to a much broader, more integrated program.
The difficult angle for the Dana-Farber — the challenge shared by many companies — is that collaboration doesn't come naturally to many of the highest performers and the system seems almost geared against teamwork. The organizational stars have tremendous autonomy over key work decisions. And just like software engineers who hold code in their head or a law firm partner who controls critical client relationships, the Dana-Farber scientists hold a credible threat of walking out the door with their IP and grant-winning prowess. The parallels with business are clear: Stars are a crucial but perhaps fragile source of innovation and competitive advantage.
Here was the paradox for leaders: While fostering smart collaboration, they had to maintain Dana-Farber's entrepreneurial approach to research. And they faced big constraints. Because the researchers in question were members of the Harvard faculty, the Dana-Farber leaders couldn't influence promotion criteria, nor could they reward people differentially through compensation.
So how do you jumpstart collaboration without transforming the pay or promotion system? The problem is that collaboration requires an investment. My analyses show that "smart collaboration" — that is, collaboration targeted at the right opportunities — nearly always pays out, but only after people spend time developing the underlying relationships and processes. Many people and companies start the investment, but quit before seeing the returns. Only if you stick with the effort through a long enough time frame can you expect the returns to become positive. This is how collaboration gets embedded as a normal way of working. But how to get through the pain barrier?
Jumpstarting collaboration
To foster collaboration, your initial hurdle is to capture people's attention and give them the confidence to take some risks in order to make the initial investment. Costs naturally drop as people gain experience collaborating and develop the trusted relationships that smooth the process, but you should take steps to lower those costs more quickly. Likewise, your actions can make the benefits start to flow sooner. Both these efforts help the payback period arrive sooner, making collaboration a smarter investment for the next wave of people. Here are steps to keep in mind:
Pick your battles carefully. Make sure you're focusing efforts to foster collaboration where it's most needed: tackling complex problems that require the inputs of multiple specialized experts who couldn't confront the issue without integrating their knowledge. If you're operating in a highly individualistic culture, select a "coalition of the willing," people who are favorably inclined to collaborate and won't gripe to colleagues about a few hiccups while you build momentum.
Convince with quantitative evidence. Harness your internal sales data to show people that smart collaboration is not just a nice-to-have — it's a strategic advantage for capturing market share. The bars in the chart below, for example, show how much your sales force increases revenue per client when people work across boundaries to sell multiple services. But the circles, which indicate how few clients are actually served by the full range, show how much upside potential still exists.
Drive down collaboration costs. Broker important relationships to help people build the necessary networks quickly. Use simple, off-the-shelf tools to make collaboration smoother. For example, make sure Skype and Dropbox or similar programs work with your IT system so that teammates can easily communicate and share documents. Pair a technology whiz with any employee who needs support with the tools; a personal relationship makes the uptake much likelier than expecting someone to learn on their own or to rely on the IT hotline. For major collaboration projects, Dana-Farber assigned coleaders who shouldered the administrative burdens while the superstar researcher provided the thought leadership. Take the heat of other short-term goals so that time spent collaborating feels like less of an opportunity cost.
Harness the power of competition. Publicize advances that people make collaboratively to stir up some constructive rivalry among peers. Set up contests and award small prizes for steps people take in the right direction, such as submitting joint sales plans rather than individual ones. Some companies now use gamification technology to engage employees in collaborative actions ranging from meeting new colleagues to completing team-based business goals.
Get the benefits flowing faster. Since the financial payout for collaboration can take a while, be sure to reward inputs while people are in the early stages of learning new collaborative processes. Dana-Farber evaluated scientists' efforts at including experts from other disciplines as well as contributing to other researchers' projects — and then recognized them again much later when those efforts turned into publications or successful grants. Make it easy for people to call out colleagues who helped them, and celebrate both the contributor and communicator. Let people directly reward each other. For example, have a stockpile of small gift cards that employees can access to thank each other for their collaborative efforts.
Dana-Farber ultimately succeeded in building 10 integrative research centers that bring together the world's leading researchers to battle cancer in multidisciplinary ways that would be nearly impossible if each specialist was confined to their traditional silo. (You can read my deeper analysis of Dana-Farber here.) Business leaders, too, can harness the power of collaboration by taking some of these steps to sustain momentum until the rewards of collaboration consistently outweigh the costs.

So you've created an excellent suggestion as well as a vision to form a nonprofit organization. Yet where do you start? Right here we've given your guidebook to get a brand-new nonprofit off the ground with sustainability always in mind legalzoom holding corporation legalzoom holding corporation.
The process of developing as well as including a nonprofit is similar to a company, besides a couple of distinctions. legalzoom holding corporation A nonprofit can not be developed from any of the following entities: Sole Proprietorship, Limited Obligation Firm or a Firm "C" or "S".
A nonprofit, like a corporation, is a lawful entity separate from the founder( s); it can make it through the life of its founder( s) and also can exist considerably. Unlike a corporation that is had legalzoom holding corporation by its shareholders, a nonprofit does not have investors as well as is not had by anyone, but is managed by the board of supervisors. The other distinct distinction in between a firm as well as a nonprofit is just how the revenue is strained. Currently, allow's take you through the process.
Step One: Employee a Board of Directors. A board ought to consist of diverse depiction from the following: money, legal, someone that stands for or is considered a specialist when it come to your mission, somebody that represents individuals you exist to serve, regional corporate exec( s) – legalzoom holding corporation particularly from a firm that has the tendency to fund companies like yours, community/professional volunteer( s) – individuals with a network of riches, and another nonprofit executive. Ensure that you work summary in position which plainly indicates board member expectations, consisting of all info related to your nonprofit. Assumptions legalzoom holding corporation must consist of administration, financial backing, as well as hands-on leadership. You do not want a board of directors that really feels "simply showing up" fulfills their task. Ultimately, you never stop trying to find good board participants. Your board ought to have a set tenure to guarantee there is always room for fresh faces, ideas, as well as links.
Step Two: Formation Satisfying. The development meeting is a conference of the preliminary board of supervisors to elect on including as well as going after the tax exception condition in addition to to establish the purpose of the nonprofit. During this conference and all succeeding board conferences, ensure to take conference minutes to reveal a consentaneous arrangement by the board prior to moving forward legalzoom holding corporation.
Tip 3: Naming Your Nonprofit. Name option is very important since it recognizes your purpose as well as creates your identification and also identification and brand. Choose your company name like you pick your kid's name-repeat it typically, pretend to address the phone utilizing the name to hear if it has a nice ring to it. You could pick practically legalzoom holding corporation any name you want for your company as long as it is not currently in operation. You could check name schedule on your state's controling site to see if it is offered prior to you submit it. Usually, this is the secretary of state's office.
Tip Four: Include. The consolidation process resembles that of a corporation. The Articles of Consolidation are prepared and also filed with the state's controling body; once again, normally the Assistant of State's workplace. Some states have example articles which you can acquire as well as make use of in composing your write-ups, however, meeting the state's minimum declaring requirement does not necessarily imply you satisfy the IRS's needs. legalzoom holding corporation Make certain you properly and very carefully draft posts of unification that meet the requirements of the IRS if you prepare to look for federal tax obligation exception; which you will. There is a declaring cost connected with this procedure paid to the state. The fee for the state is typically around $100; the declaring fee for your tax-exempt condition is around $850.
Tip Five: The Laws. You are needed to prepare laws for your nonprofit. Bylaws are the policies made use of by the board to govern your nonprofit. The majority of states do not call for a copy of the laws to be filed with the state. Regardless of filing demands, it is a state law calls for that an incorporated entity have created laws. The Internal Revenue Service will need a copy of the bylaws to be submitted with your application for tax-exemption.
Tip 6: Acquire your Federal Company Identification Number (EIN). As soon as you have actually completed your documents, you will have to obtain an Employer Recognition Number (EIN) also referred to as a government tax ID from the Internal Revenue Service. You can do this promptly and also quickly online. Do not forget to print out a copy for your long-term documents. You will certainly also require a copy to submit to the IRS with your tax obligation exception application. To apply for your EIN see the IRS's website. It is essential to note that merely holding an EIN number does not indicate you are approved as a 501( c) 3 by your state or the Internal Revenue Service. You could raise money for your organization prior to authorization. legalzoom holding corporation Nonetheless, be mindful that generally, granting organizations need an authorized 501( c) 3 and also will request a duplicate of your approved standing letter.
Step 7: Application for tax exemption to the Internal Revenue Service. After you have actually integrated your nonprofit as well as gotten your EIN, then you can start your tax exemption application to the IRS using IRS Type 1023. The type can be gotten at the IRS internet site. This is a detailed application. You need to meticulously check out the instructions, find out about the legislations of compliance, complete the application, and also accumulate & construct the accessories. Working with an expert to help you is highly advised. If you are trying to do this on your own, the IRS approximates a few hundred hours are needed to complete this application. After your first review, finish the application to the 'letter' of their direction. If your application is not clear or missing essential details, it will be sent back to you to learn more. If it does not fit within the tax obligation exception laws, it will certainly be rejected. As mentioned over, there is a cost related to this application; about $850. The charge changes occasionally, so be sure to inspect the declaring charge before you submit the application. The Internal Revenue Service is presently taking between 6-8 months to appoint the application to an excluded organization expert. If your application is authorized, you will certainly get a "Letter of Determination" that categorizes your company as tax obligation excluded. The good aspect of this long process is that the day of your exemption is retroactive to the date that the IRS first got your application. This implies that if you did receive a contribution calling for 501( c) 3 condition prior to your authorization, you will eventually be in compliance with the financing company and the Internal Revenue Service. Yet, it is not suggested to increase funds on the surface until you get your Letter of Resolution.
State Tax Exemption. Most states recognize and also accept the federal tax exception "Letter of Decision." However, there is a handful of states that have extra state requirements to be earnings tax obligation excluded for state purposes. You will have to consult your state's regulating body to see if there are extra state needs.
Continuous Conformity. After you are officially included as a nonprofit company, there are a handful of points that you must do to preserve conformity with state and government demands. Some states need a yearly record. The majority of states need a yearly company renewal, as well as some states do not require state income tax obligations to be filed unless the nonprofit receives a specific limit revenue. As you could see, each state runs in a different way. The secret is to keep on your own educated and also up-to-date with the needs of your particular state. On the government side, IRS Form 990 or a variation of Type 990 is required to be submitted annually. This is the yearly tax return form for nonprofit companies no matter revenue. Presently, the law specifies that if you cannot submit Type 990 for three consecutive years, the Internal Revenue Service will automatically revoke your nonprofit standing. If this takes place, then the nonprofit could no longer get tax-deductible contributions. Furthermore, you will need to reapply for tax obligation exemption once again. You have actually put in the time to build your nonprofit, so make the effort to take care of it and stay certified.

Comply with along listed below as well as I will certainly assist you get going in the right instructions with 7 important tips. These pointers, when used right, will aid create success in your nonprofit.
Produce The Nonprofit Entity legalzoom holding corporation.
Producing the actual legal organization could be completed in several different ways. The first as well as most recognized method is by developing an independent 501( c)( 3) through the Internal Revenue Service. This can be an extensive process and also includes including a business in the state that you want to do organisation, and filing for tax-exempt standing with the Internal Revenue Service making use of kind 1024.
The 2nd, fastest growing way to form a nonprofit organization is via financial sponsorship. This is where an already existing 501( c)( 3) organization accepts your nonprofit job within its organizational structure. This allows a company to perform nonprofit projects without the need for setting up an independent 501( c)( 3) via the IRS. Setting up a financial sponsorship can be extremely quick, simple, and economical. The most fundamental part of setting up a fiscal sponsorship is locating an enroller that is trusted as well as long-standing in the nonprofit field. If the sponsor is not solid, they can negatively impact your nonprofit task. Find a third party who is competent and also knowledgeable about financial enrollers to get suggestions from.
When starting a nonprofit it is important to extensively look into the cause you will be assisting. This will certainly aid you comprehend exactly what organizations are currently out there doing comparable job. This will certainly assist your organization in figuring out areas that still require aid and companies you can function along with of in better completing the job. Constant study will certainly aid your company remain concentrated on its goal.
When doing nonprofit job filing for tax-exempt condition is important. Lots of nonprofits avoid this action due to the fact that it could be costly, only to have to return to the step years down the road. By having tax-exempt status, your nonprofit could offer donors tax-deductible invoices for their contributions. Tax-exempt condition is essential when receiving contributions from most firms when looking for grant money. Do not place on your own in a bind without tax-exempt condition. You do not wish to be scrambling to obtain tax-exempt status with a large donation pending.
Develop A Great Fundraising Plan legalzoom holding corporation.
Fundraising is the lifeblood of a nonprofit company. Little can be completed without funds to invest. Developing a good fund elevating plan and proceeded monetary stability is essential to the success of your nonprofit. Locate good info on the best ways to fund raising and also put the plan at work from the very beginning. It is not required to hire a charity event or grant author but rather take a look at as well as invest in sources that aid you learn to do these tasks on your own. No person is mosting likely to care as much regarding the economic security of your organization as you.
Developing a tactical strategy on exactly how your nonprofit will run, complete its goal, hire personnel, as well as grow will certainly be required. Without a calculated plan in place it will certainly be extremely tough making sure your nonprofit succeeds. Strategic strategies are blueprints that you can reference back to continuously, making sure your nonprofit is on track for success. Discover an excellent source or manual that explains the best ways to assemble an excellent calculated strategy for your nonprofit.
Hopefully your nonprofit will remain to operate efficiently for your lifetime and past. While establishing the nonprofit, maintain this long-range vision in mind. There is wisdom in developing a solid foundation in the beginning as opposed to carelessly throwing your organization with each other. Think about taking six months to a year in the beginning to establish secure fund raising, legalzoom holding corporation wonderful programs, and also excellent practices. For example, make use of the very first year to fund raising and also increase understanding of your nonprofit so that you can you're your budget plan. After that with secure funding you could begin paying wages, office expenditures, and fund programs with less anxiety. Once your programs start, it will be harder to concentrate 100% of your initiatives on fundraising.
Assisting others must be enjoyable. Starting as well as running a successful nonprofit could be fun. If at any kind of factor you find you have lost the "enjoyable element," regroup and figure out how to put the enjoyable back right into your efforts. If fun and pleasure is not a constant part of your nonprofit initiatives, it will be hard to continue. Make sure those you assist, those that volunteer, and on your own are having a blast as well as your nonprofit endeavor will always live.
Nonprofits give essential solutions and support many important objectives both locally as well as around the world.

Q: Discord finds bot token in my compiled dll on my GitHub I'm setting up a program that will run on a Linux VPS, and I'm a little confused.
Here's what I've got set up:
I have a Linux VPS running.
Every time I merge my GitHub repo's dev branch to master, it will automatically deploy a publish folder in the repo to the VPS containing all the compiled components, inc the main .dll.
I have a service on the VPS that picks up the main .dll and runs it.
The bot's token is stored in a .resx file that is in the .gitignore file, and as such, isn't in the repo.
The problem I'm having is, Discord notifies me it's found my bot's token in the compiled .dll on the GitHub. I was under the impression that as the .dll was compiled that the token would be either impossible or extremely difficult to extract.
I may be wrong.
Is there any way around this? The bot is written in C# DotNetCore.
Thanks,
Josh

A: Download a decompiler like Telerik Just Decompile and you'll see the string. I think you can find in a text editor as well.
If you want a way around Discord finding token in your public repository, make your repository private.
If you want to store something private in an exe/dll and want it to remain private, your only option is to not distribute your exe/dll.


Can We Love the Unlovable?
Can we love the people who hate us?
Can we show affection and compassion to the people who hurt and curse us?
Can we be kind to the person who'd be the first to celebrate when we're dead?
Can we really love the unlovable?
The truth is, it is our faith in God that will enable us to love radically.
BUT Jesus did not just gave us this command. He did not just say, love and forgive those who mistreat you. He also taught us HOW.
The way that I understand this, it is telling us that how we treat people will eventually help change the way that they treat us. If I become nicer to the person who is mean to me, perhaps there would be a greater likelihood that he or she too will become a little nicer to me, when he or she will see that I am sincere. If I treat them with kindness without any pretensions every time we have an encounter, I think it is not impossible for them to have a change of hearts toward me.
I have learned that sometimes our physiology affects our psychology. It is like the principle of "mind over matter" except that this is pertaining to our feelings following our actions.
If we keep doing loving gestures and acts of kindness to people who treats us otherwise, sooner or later we will develop the feeling of love for them.
Of course this is not automatic. It does not happen overnight. And if you've read my previous posts this month, I cannot stress enough the fact that Love is a decision, a choice, and commitment.
Do you ever wonder why sometimes, we find ourselves lonely despite our so-called achievements and success? I can think of one reason- because we don't know who we are. We don't know what exactly we want in life and we don't know our purpose. This is why we feel lost and unfulfilled. No wonder even the most successful or wealthy people find themselves being depressed or suicidal.
I strongly believe that to be genuinely happy, we need to know ourselves. We have to figure out what we want so that we can focus and direct our energy and time to that purpose, and not go around wasting another minute of our lives doing the things that don't give meaning to us.
If your answer is YES to all these, then start figuring out what can you do NOW in order for you to do what you want to do. It doesn't necessarily have to be a major step…baby steps are fine, for as long as you are acting on it. Believe me, even the "process" or "journey" itself is enough to change that feeling of loneliness into happiness.
I say good luck to getting to know yourselves and I hope you'll find joy in discovering your life's purpose.

"I signed the largest single tax cut in the history of Florida, a $25 billion tax cut over five years, directed at property tax cuts."
— Charlie Crist on Friday, September 25th, 2009 in speaking to a group of Michigan Republicans
Charlie Crist takes credit for Florida's largest ever tax cut
By Aaron Sharockman on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 at 6:02 p.m.
It's become part of Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's firewall when confronted with criticism that he isn't conservative enough.
"I signed the largest single tax cut in the history of Florida, a $25 billion tax cut over five years, directed at property tax cuts," Crist said while speaking to a group of Michigan Republicans in September. "My state goes back to 1845; the largest tax cut since 1845 in the Sunshine State."
Crist touts his tax-cutting record over and over, in news releases, political speeches and in the first radio ad for his U.S. Senate campaign.
The line is good politics. But is it true?
The property tax changes proposed by Crist and the Legislature in early 2007 were sold as the antidote to citizens' complaints that local government spending had spiraled out of control. Crist famously predicted taxes would "drop like a rock."
On June 21, 2007, the governor signed House bills 1B and 5B — the two-pronged tax package.
House Bill 1B required local governments to reduce their property tax rates to 2006 levels and mandated deeper cuts based on how much a local government collected in property tax dollars. The reported savings to taxpayers: $15.6 billion over five years.
House Bill 5B, meanwhile, let voters consider further property tax changes. Also known as Amendment 1, the changes — which included an additional homestead benefit, limited property value increases for non-homesteaded property and created portability for Save Our Homes — were approved by voters in January 2008. The savings: $9.3 billion over five years.
Combined, that's the $25 billion Crist is talking about.
We have to address two questions to see if Crist's claim is right: Are the estimates correct? And do they constitute the largest state tax cut ever?
Caution: The following information is considered highly wonky.
Crist's tax math
To estimate the financial impact of the 2007 and 2008 property tax changes, analysts at the governor's office first forecast a future as if the changes had not occurred.
The process was relatively simple. Analysts estimated five years of statewide property tax collection information by multiplying a tax rate, which they did not change, by taxable property values, which they grew at 3 to 5 percent a year.
The calculation, analysts said, attempted to replicate the billions of dollars in property taxes Floridians would pay each year if nothing else happened.
With that baseline, analysts next built a world post-tax changes, multiplying an estimated new tax rate by the same property values.
The difference between Year 1 of the first calculation and Year 1 of the second constitutes the governor's estimate of the savings to Florida taxpayers. They did the same math for years 2 through 5, and voila — $25 billion in savings.
Simple?
No, says David Gamage, an assistant professor at the University of California at Berkeley who specializes in taxation.
The governor's estimates would be accurate only if property tax values increased as analysts predicted and local governments failed to reduce their tax rates, Gamage says.
We will never know what governments would have done to their tax rates, but we do know about property tax values: They've gone down. Taxable property values dropped 15 percent in 2008, according to figures from county property appraisers. Property values are expected to drop again in 2009.
"Even if this policy hadn't been enacted, the future would look different than today," Gamage said.
It's the same reason that a recent Florida Association of Counties report concluded that of the $1.5 billion trimmed from property tax collections at the county level in the past three years, almost half is a result of falling property values, not the Crist-led changes.
When questioned by PolitiFact, the governor's office admitted that its original savings estimates are now likely high and it has not rerun the analysis.
What we do know is this: the Department of Revenue said that as a result of the legislative-mandated tax rate rollbacks, the state's property tax collections fell about $300 million ( page 9 ) from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 2008. And property tax collections in total fell an estimated $745 million ( page 163 ) from fiscal year 2008 to 2009, the first year the Amendment 1 changes took effect.
That's a $1.05 billion reduction in property taxes. The governor's estimate predicted $6.1 billion in savings during that same period. If property values fail to increase, the gap will only widen since the changes are estimated to have a bigger impact in later years.
Part of the difference in the numbers is that the governor's office counted future, theoretical increases in tax collections as part of its estimated "tax cut."
And part of the difference is that falling property values wrecked the governor's projections.
Is it the biggest?
Despite inaccurate projections, the governor's office says the 2007 and 2008 tax cuts are still the state's largest.
But what else competes? The governor's analysts point to the repeal of the intangibles tax.
The intangibles tax — created during the Depression — was paid on investments, and at its peak, sat at 2 mills ($2 for every $1,000). The tax was cut under Gov. Lawton
Chiles and repealed entirely in 2006 by Gov. Jeb Bush.
At its height in 1999, it provided the state about $1.2 billion in revenue, according to the Department of Revenue. Adjusted for inflation, that translates to about $1.5 billion in 2007.
That's a bigger tax break than what the Crist-led changes delivered in fiscal years 2007 and 2008, but not more than Crist's rosy projection.
We wondered if anyone previously has claimed to be Florida's tax cut king.
Bush did. In 1999, Bush and the Legislature passed what they called "the largest tax cut in state history." The $1.01 billion plan included further cuts to the intangibles tax, as well as the repeal of a per-drink tax on alcohol, a rollback in the school property tax rate and a reduction in unemployment taxes businesses pay, among other things.
Kurt Wenner, director of Tax Research at Florida TaxWatch, suggested a third tax change that could be considered the state's largest: Save Our Homes.
The amendment to the state Constitution proposed and approved by citizens in 1992 limited increases to the property value of homesteaded property in Florida. While there is debate about whether those savings were offset by people without homestead exemptions, the savings to homesteaded property owners is quantifiable.
From 1996 to 2008, almost $1.9 trillion in property value went untaxed because of Save Our Homes. Using a conservative tax rate of 17 mills, that equates to $32 billion less in property taxes paid — or about $2.66 billion per year without adjusting for inflation. In 2007, the savings was about $7.27 billion and from 2004 to 2008 the estimated savings was more than $26 billion.
Those numbers certainly are bigger than the Crist cuts so far, in reality and in projection.
The governor's office said it did not consider Save Our Homes when it made the claim that the Crist tax changes constitute the state's largest. Officials then provided data that showed the saving in the first years of Save Our Homes was modest. But that's because the large savings came in later years as Save Our Homes protected against increases to properties' taxable value.
Failing to consider Save Our Homes didn't sit well with Ken Wilkinson, the Lee County property appraiser who led the push for Save Our Homes — and supported the Crist-led changes.
"I would say Save Our Homes is the largest tax cut in the history of Florida," Wilkinson said. "There is a savings, you can look it up, and it's real."
Wilkinson and Wenner said you can't ignore Save Our Homes just because it was a citizen initiative. Moreover, the Crist-led changes built off Save Our Homes in two major ways — by making Save Our Homes portable and by creating a Save Our Homes style benefit for commercial and rental properties.
If one's a tax cut, so is the other.
The Crist-led changes to Florida's property tax structure certainly required the lowering of tax rates and assessment values throughout Florida. But there are all kinds of holes in projecting the size and scope of the legislation's impact.
The basis for the governor's estimate assumed a future that did not come to pass. Specifically, the governor's estimates relied on future property values continuing to increase and local governments failing to lower their property tax rate. We now know property values are decreasing.
The governor's office admits its projections are now inaccurate because of declines in property values statewide.
A state analysis concluded that the tax measures have failed to produce the savings estimated by the governor. Portability, for instance, was predicted to cut taxable property values by $11.5 billion in 2008. But it cut property values only $3.4 billion, the analysis showed.
Here's the bottom line: While the tax structure changes passed by the Legislature, signed by Crist and approved by voters undoubtedly will result in less property taxes being paid by Florida residents, the specific financial impact of the initiatives remains quite unclear. Experts say projections can be misleading.
But given the decline in home values, we know Crist will have difficulty reaching his claim of $25 billion over five years.
In the absence of additional data, and with the knowledge that Save Our Homes has cut property tax bills for Florida residents $32 billion or more, we can't agree with Crist that the 2007 and 2008 changes constitute the largest tax cut in state history.
We rule Crist's statement False.

The University of Mysore and the Centre for Internet and Society co-organized the Open Knowledge Day in Mysore on July 15, 2014. On this occasion Mysore University released six volumes of Kannada Vishwakosha under the Creative Commons (CC) license.
Dr. U.B. Pavanaja (CIS-A2K), DR. C. Basavaraju (Registrar, UoM) and Prof K. S. Rangappa (V.C., UoM) on the occasion of signing the MoU
Kannada Vishwakosha brought out by the University of Mysore can easily be termed as the best encyclopaedia in Kannada. It has been modelled after the famous Britannica encyclopaedia. Mysore University Vishwakosha has 14 volumes having a total of 13802 pages. The very first volume was brought out in the year 1969 and the final volume was released in 2004. Many famous Kannada authors, scientists, academicians and stalwarts from other fields have worked on creating this encyclopaedia. The print volumes of the first version of the encyclopaedia are out of stock now. Recently UoM has started revising and reprinting the encyclopaedia. So far 4 volumes have been revised, enhanced and published.
UoM believes in Open Access to Knowledge. It has put up the research outputs from its departments online for free access to the public. UoM has done these as a subscriber to the idea of Budapest Open Access Initiative. The Open Access Institutional Repository, of UoM, covers scholarly publications covering journal articles, conference papers, books, book reviews, presentations, reports and patents ever since UoM was established in 1916. Extending the philosophy of open knowledge to the Kannada encyclopaedia published by UoM becomes a natural extension. UoM is in the verge of celebrating its centenary soon and has taken many initiatives in that direction.
CIS-A2K has been in negotiations with UoM towards releasing of its high quality Kannada Vishwakosha (Kannada Encyclopaedia) under Creative Commons license. CIS and UoM signed a MoU on February 22, 2014. Here is the relevant extract from the MoU: "They will work together to digitize all encyclopaedic publications for which the copyright is owned by UoM, and re-release them under the Creative Common license (CC-BY-SA 3.0). The digitized content will be made available for everyone through free content distribution platforms like Wikipedia and Wikisource. The digitization will be done employing the global standard Unicode so that the content has longevity, is universally portable and is easily searchable. Both parties have joined hands to undertake the above in order to enhance digital literacy in the Kannada language and facilitate collaborative production and free dissemination of knowledge in Kannada to the students, academics, researchers and the wider public. The parties also believe that by reintroducing the knowledge in digital and openly accessible formats could significantly enhance the production of knowledge in Kannada and give a new lease of life to Kannada language in the digital era. The parties will co-design and jointly implement relevant programmes to achieve this objective." As part of this MoU, UoM agreed to release the first six volumes of Kannada Vishwakosha under CC.
Volume numbers 1, 2, 4 and 6 of Kannada Vishwakosha of UoM have been revised and published recently. A project page has been created in Kannada Wikipedia for this project. Kannada Wikipedians joined hands in the project. The project involved extracting the text from the soft copies of the files, converting them into Unicode, extracting articles from these files and uploading them to Kannada Wikisource.
A team of interns from Christ University had a major role to play in this development. These were students from the Wikipedia in Education Program that was conducted in Christ University during the academic period of 2013-14. These students took active part in the current project and uploaded about 1200 articles so far (till July 21, 2014).
The event attracted very good media coverage. Leading English and Kannada dailies like Andolana Kannada, City Today, Deccan Herald, Hosa Diganta, Kannada Jana Mana, Kannada Prabha, Rajya Dharma, Samyukta Karnataka, The Hindu, The New Indian Express, Udayavani, Vijaya Karnataka, and Vijaya Vani published about this. Scanned versions of the published articles can be downloaded here.

Cryptocurrencies achieved another historic milestone this week, as their combined market caps leaped above the $500 billion mark on the heels of an altcoin rally led by the ethereum and ripple prices.
The cryptocurrency market cap had begun the day at $467 billion, and it seemed unlikely that it would reach the $500 billion mark this quickly — especially considering that bitcoin ended the day trading sideways. However, fueled by an altcoin surge, the crypto market cap leaped above the $500 billion barrier Tuesday evening and eventually rose as high as $505.9 billion before tapering to a present value of $504.3 billion.
At this level, cryptocurrencies are now worth more than Berkshire-Hathaway, the holding company run by legendary investor — and bitcoin skeptic — Warren Buffett.
Ordinarily, one expects these market cap rallies to coincide with dramatic bitcoin price climbs, but that was not the case today. Although the bitcoin price hit an all-time high on bitcoin exchange Bitfinex, the global average topped out at $17,781, after which it fell back toward its previous-day level. At present, the bitcoin price is trading at $17,184, which represents a single-day increase of one percent and provides bitcoin with a $287.6 billion market cap.
The ethereum price posted an impressive advance for the second-consecutive day, rising 25 percent and briefly extending as high as $686. At present, the ethereum price is trading at a global average of $681, which translates into a $65.6 billion market cap.
Though several factors are at play, the primary one is likely the fact that ethereum continues to see increasing transaction volumes. Just yesterday, the Ethereum network processed an average of 10 transactions per second for the entire day, a new all-time high.
Wednesday was another banner day for altcoins, and — led by ethereum and ripple — the total altcoin market cap rose above the $200 billion mark for the first time.
Bitcoin cash, the third-largest cryptocurrency, rose three percent for the day, but its closest rival is growing increasingly larger in its rearview mirror.
That's because the ripple price exploded by 71 percent amid insatiable demand from Korean traders. Ripple now has a market cap of $18.4 billion, meaning that if it can replicate this single-day performance one more time, it will supplant bitcoin cash and rise to third in the rankings.
Ripple's surge enabled it to race back ahead of litecoin, whose breathtaking gains began to taper on Wednesday morning. At present, the litecoin price is trading at $310, which represents a single-day increase of 12 percent.
Sixth-ranked IOTA was the lone cryptocurrency in the top 10 to decline for the day, perhaps signaling that the bulls have run out of steam following last week's incredible rally.
Dash and monero each crossed historic milestones after double-digit percentage price increases. They are currently valued at $916 and $330, respectively. Ninth-ranked NEM traded sideways, while bitcoin gold rose by about seven percent to round out the top 10.

We've been working hard to provide great features to our customers that are using Radiant and we've been pushing a lot of that work out into the community. We've still got plenty more in store for our extension development and of course a lot more to contribute to Radiant.
One of the problems any organization might face is the task of keeping track of your content. Of course, you'd look to a content management system like Radiant, but even beyond your content is the content from others. Many organizations have relationships with others and their content is often linked back and forth. As the content changes, some things may get stale and we're working on a way to keep track of that.
Your content isn't just your content. Your site depends on its environment and you'll need to react to any changes in it.
When you're writing content for your site, you shouldn't just be worried about what you've got. You also need to make sure that your target sites (or sites on which you might comment or to which you might send your visitors) are up and running too. Site Watcher is a great way to keep track of what's happening on your own site and we'll be adding more features there, but there will be more to come for tracking the rest of the world too.
I'll be posting more about this in the future as we get ready to release our upcoming projects.
