Arena 9 wetsuits were the favored neoprene choice among the professional swimmers competing at the FINA/HOSA Marathon Swim World Series race which Kristof Rasovszky of Hungary and Haley Anderson of the United States won in Setúbal Bay, Portugal.
The Arena 9 wetsuits are 85% neoprene and 15% nylon with Yamamoto Aerodome patented neoprene panels integrated with carbon cage fabric that Arena touts for its advanced buoyancy that helps stabilize the swimmer's core stability and optimal swim position. The shoulder area has a thinner, more elastic neoprene with a rear zipper.
Yamamoto Corporation in Japan advertises Aerodome fabric helps improved heat retention, buoyancy and a decrease in friction due to hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Yamamoto's wetsuits reduces water resistance through many air holes evenly placed on the material. The holes in the wetsuit help add buoyancy by keeping air bubbles within the air holes in addition to improving heat-retention due to the heat insulating effect of the air bubbles.

Jesse is really private with everything, especially his relationships, but feels open with Minka and she has been supportive and that's what he needs now." As previously reported, Williams is still undergoing a custody battle with Drake-Lee, over their 3-year-old daughter Sadie and 21-month-old son Maceo.
In the visual also starring Jay, Chris Rock, Will Smith, Kendrick Lamar, Anthony Anderson, and Aziz Ansari, the actor slammed rumors that he had cheated on Aryn with Minka.'I was in a relationship 13 years, 13 real years, not 5 years, not 7 years, 13 years and all of a sudden mother f--kers are writing think-pieces that I somehow threw a 13-year relationship—like thee most painful experience I've had in my life like with a person I've loved with all of my heart—that I threw a person and my family in the trash because a girl I work with is cute,' he vented.The officers are surrounded by a group of citizens wearing masks and recording the event.The footage is leaked to the press, with credit given to a group named Channel M.It focused on a group of teenagers, known as The Movement or Channel M, who use their superpowers to fight the corruption in Coral City. It introduced a group of super-powered teens and a group of anonymous activist hackers who "all have reason to be mad at the system, which hasn't protected them, or even tolerated them".The team's base of operations is an old abandoned garment factory, a sweatshop, from 1898.
To make matters worse they contained extremely high operating ratios of 85-90% (some were even greater than 100%) while the average rate of return never exceeded 3%.

Nissan has unveiled a real-life version of its 2020 Vision GT concept at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Nissan has brought its Concept 2020 Vision GT to life.
The concept car, set to be featured on PlayStation 3game Gran Turismo 6, is now on display at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Taisuke Nakamura, the design director of Nissan Design Europe, collaborated with engineers in Japan to create a real-life car that reflects the potential of its virtual performance.
Nakamura says Nissan has 149 cars in the video game, and that he considers the franchise to be like a virtual motor show.
Nissan even offers a program called the Nissan GT Academy that allows gamers to become "race car drivers".
The project puts video gamers through the paces, and a few have even gone to drive professionally.
Jann Mardenborough for example is a British GT Championship winner on track for Formula One in a driver development program.
Mardenborough was at Goodwood and tested the Nissan Concept 2020 simulator: "It feels really, really quick. It's been designed virtually. And we've got the real car here as a concept car. So, it's kind of like my story of GT Academy, coming from the virtual world into the real-life racing world."
Gamers will be able to download Nissan's new supercar on Gran Turismo 6 in July.

Comeback Season
Nnenna Okpara , Contributor
March 1 marks the start of the 2021 track and field season. After the pandemic hit, it ended a very short-lived season for the girl's team in 2020. It is up to the athletes to determine what type of season they want to have this year.
Junior Kayelyn Tate a co-captain on the varsity squad has already mapped out and began her game plan for the upcoming season. Tate runs for a club team called Ultimate Speed Academy.
"I run indoor track and I have been practicing with them four days out of the week and we have had two track meets and another one is scheduled before outdoor starts," Tate said. "I try to do extra training at the YMCA or with my dad whenever I don't have a regular practice."
Senior J'Nyah Elbert has already started prepping for the upcoming season as well, by participating in other physical activities earlier this year.
"This year I ran Cross Country and I try to get out when I can," Elbert said. "I don't get out as much as I want to because the weather has been very iffy but, I do what I can to be prepared for what's coming next season."
Unfortunately, becuase of COVID-19, there have been many restrictions placed in the county that have prohibited the progression of team sports at its full capacity. Each year Head Coach Ryan Banta hosts winter conditioning to get his athletes ready for the spring season.
"It has been frustrating not to have a winter conditioning program this year and even more so after losing last year's season, where we ranked as one of the top programs in the state," Banta said.
The frustration of losing a season that could have brought a state championship is devastating but safety always comes first. "We will do everything we can to stay safe, healthy, and competitive! What we can control is our attitude and effort; we will maximize both to make us as competitive as possible," Banta said.
The two co-captains agreed that this season will be very different. However, they alongside the head coach, are optimistic about what the future will hold. Elbert uses her motivation to push her to work harder so that she can have her best season yet.
"What motivates me is going hard for the people who didn't get their senior year last year that's my biggest motivation," Elbert said. "I have to do it for my teammates and those who did not get their shot."
It can't be easy losing a season, but motivation and perseverance have fueled this team so they are hungry for a comeback season this year.
"I am excited to see how we can create opportunities in the face of the apparent hurdles all extracurriculars confront this spring. I have faith the athletes and coaches in all of PCH's community will step up to the situation with grace and respect," Banta said.

This inspection took place on 15 and 29 March 2018 and was unannounced on day one. We arranged with the manager to return on day two.
The inspection was carried out by two adult social care inspectors on day one and one inspector on day two.
Prior to the inspection we reviewed the information we held about the service, such as notifications we had received from the registered provider. Notifications are documents that the registered provider submits to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to inform us of important events that happen in the service. The registered provider submitted a provider information return (PIR) as part of this inspection. The PIR is a form that asks the registered provider to give some key information about the service, what the service does well and improvements they plan to make. We used this information as part of the inspection planning.
We carried out observations using the Short Observational Framework for Inspection (SOFI). SOFI is a specific way of observing care to help us understand the experience of people who could not communicate with us. We spoke with two people who used the service, three care workers, a senior care worker, the deputy manager and the manager. We looked around the service in communal areas and people's bedrooms.
We spent time looking at records, including the care records for three people who lived at the home, the recruitment and training records for three members of staff and other records relating to the management of the home. These included audits and checks of the service, accidents and incident records, staff training records, health and safety servicing and maintenance records.
Following the inspection we contacted the local authority quality monitoring and safeguarding teams for feedback about the service.

CA a Step Closer to Removing Toxic Chemicals from Our Homes
August 29, 2018 Anna Reade
Becoming a parent is a joyful, life-changing challenge. My six-month-old daughter is a beautiful, playful baby. Like any new mom, I want only the best for her — and, most of all, I want to keep her safe.
That's not as easy as it ought to be. Sure, I can babyproof my home to reduce the obvious hazards. But because of the work I do as a scientist for NRDC, I know that the obvious hazards aren't necessarily the worst dangers facing our children.
I can put a safety latch on the cabinet under the sink to keep her away from the deadly chemicals a curious, crawling baby might get into — but I can't protect her from the hidden, unnecessary chemicals added to many household products.
That's why NRDC, the California Professional Firefighters, and the Center for Environmental Health have co-sponsored a bill in California, AB 2998 by Assembly Member Bloom, to address the presence in our homes of toxic flame retardant chemicals.
These chemicals have been linked to many serious health issues — including cancer, hormone disruption, developmental defects and reproductive problems. Flame retardant chemicals are supposed to reduce the risk of fire, but it turns out they are not necessary in products like furniture, children's products, and many mattresses. Instead of being helpful, the chemicals migrate out of these products into the air and settle in household dust, exposing us and our children to their harmful effects.
For decades, the chemical industry has pushed the notion that flame-retardant chemicals are essential for stopping household fires — going as far as to create and fund a phony grassroots organization, Citizens for Fire Safety, designed to push their use. But fire safety experts have found that flame retardant chemicals in these products are not necessary to protect against real-world fires.
Firefighters, concerned about their own exposure to the chemicals during fires, have helped lead the coalition supporting AB 2998 to get these dangerous chemicals out of furniture and other household items. As first responders, they are on the frontline of exposures and face much higher risks of diseases like cancer, which flame retardant chemicals, and the toxic byproducts they create during fires, are associated with.
Because their use has been so ubiquitous for so long, almost all of us have been exposed to these toxic chemicals. Studies have shown that greater than 95 percent of Americans have detectable levels of these chemicals in their blood. Children have higher concentrations of these chemicals in their bodies, because they crawl, play on the floor and furniture, and constantly put their toys and hands in their mouths.
AB 2998, which bans flame retardant chemicals of concern from upholstered furniture, certain children's products, and the foam of adult mattresses, just passed the state legislature with bipartisan support and is currently awaiting the Governor's signature.
Because California is such a large market, this bill will likely benefit many parents and children across the nation.
It isn't always easy being a mom, however rewarding it is to raise a child. It is unfortunate that chemical companies who put profits ahead of public health and safety have made it so much harder. Parents shouldn't have to worry that couches and other household products are exposing their families to harmful substances.
Prior legislation in California and action by other states has helped reduce the use of flame retardant chemicals, but they continue to be used in a significant share of furniture and other household items, leading to unnecessary exposure to toxic chemicals. That's why parents should urge the Governor to sign AB 2998.

Staff Scientist, Healthy People & Thriving Communities program
Toxic flame retardant chemicals—linked to a variety of negative health effects—have been added to upholstered furniture, many kids' products, and mattresses for a long time. And the kicker is that they are not even needed for fire safety.
Yesterday evening, the California legislature provided final approval for Assembly Bill 2998 by Assembly Member Bloom, moving the state one step closer to eliminating toxic flame retardant chemicals from California homes.

Shannon taught Bible study for more than 10 years in her local community, a suburb of Atlanta. During that time, she wrote two in-depth Bible studies. The first, "One Extraordinary Life," is on the Book of John. The second, "One Extraordinary Life to Come," is on the Book of Revelation.
For the last few years, she has enjoyed being present with her family in what she considers to be the "wonder years." They've included a 3-year adventure moving to Minnesota, a surprising move back to her southern roots in Atlanta, then, most recently, being launched into an unexpected grief journey after the untimely death of her brother from a rare form of bone marrow cancer. Through unimaginable sorrow, surprise endings, and even snow drifts, she's found God to be faithful. She has captured His faithfulness in a collection of stories which prove we can trust the hope in Him we're promised. Her heart's desire is to present God's Word with clarity, relevance, honesty, and humor; to witness its transforming truth impact the hearts and minds of women.
Shannon is currently a realtor for Century 21 and has been married to her real-life super-hero, Chris, for almost 23 years. They have two children, Keely (21) and Jake (15).

Australian GP 2008
Practice 3 Report - What does it all mean?
Robert Kubica, Australian GP 2008
© The Cahier Archive
The BMW Saubers of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld gave everyone a surprise in Melbourne on Saturday morning, setting the fastest times of the last practice session in Melbourne. The major players were nowhere and the conclusion was that they were working on race settings while other teams were fine-tuning the cars for qualifying. The two BMWs were ahead of Fernando Alonso's Renault and the Williams of Nico Rosberg.
The odd list continued with the two Red Bull-Renaults of David Coulthard and Mark Webber in fifth and sixth, followed by Jenson Button, who recorded the seventh best time in his Honda. Completing the top 10 were Sebastian Vettel (Toro Rosso), Giancarlo Fisichella (Force India) and Jarno Trulli (Toyota).
The fastest of the expected frontrunners was Felipe Massa in 11th, with Lewis Hamilton 12th and Kimi Raikkonen 14th. The gaggle of fast cars was split by Timo Glock's Toyota.
Nelson Piquet Jr continued to struggle to keep up with his Renault team mate Fernando Alonso and was only 15th. Next up was Rubens Barrichello in his Honda, Adrian Sutil in the second Force India, Sebasten Bourdais's Toro Rosso, Kazuki Nakajima's Williams, Heikki Kovalainen's McLaren and the two Super Aguris.
This is unlikely to be the order after qualifying this afternoon.

More swastikas found at Northwestern
For the second time this month, graffiti swastikas have appeared at Northwestern University, this time at Ryan Field, where the school was to hold commencement.
Graffiti has twice been discovered this year: once earlier this month at a construction site and once in April in the school's library.
Cabot Phillips | Senior Editor, Daily Wire

For the second time this month, anti-Semitic graffiti has appeared on the campus of Northwestern University.
According to The Daily Northwestern, Ryan Field staff members noticed swastikas and other Nazi symbols covering the windows of the stadium's North Tower the night before commencement.
After taking pictures, school workers quickly went about removing the graffiti.
University Police Deputy Chief Dan McAleer indicated Friday that his department will be working with the FBI to identify any groups or individuals connected with the act.
Earlier this month, similar anti-Semitic graffiti was found spray-painted at the construction site of the university's new Kellogg School of Management.
"We need the university to be aware of it, conscientious that it is painful, and vigilant in terms of trying to educate the student population about the importance of diversity and what these types of hurtful symbols mean," Dov Klein, the university's Chabad rabbi, said after the graffiti was discovered at the construction site.
Northwestern police have also reportedly been investigating other swastika appearances and racist remarks found on walls in the school's library back in April.
"The investigation by University Police has determined there is no immediate danger to any specific individual or to the larger campus community. However, these acts are offensive to the entire Northwestern community and will not be tolerated," Morton Schapiro, the university's president, said in an email to the student body following the April incidents.
On Wednesday, the university told Campus Reform that authorities were investigating whether a link existed between the April and June incidents, but no further information could be disclosed.

When Thomas Uttormark turned 65 in 2010, he researched his Medigap options on the Medicare.gov website and chose a plan with a premium of around $100 a month.
As his premium inched up over the next two years, he decided to apply to another insurance company to see if he could reduce the cost of his policy. Since the federal government dictates the coverage amounts under each of the 10 Medigap plans, he reasoned, his existing insurer's Plan N provided exactly the same coverage as any other insurer's Plan N – and the new plan might be cheaper.
"I thought it was no big deal to switch," said the 73-year-old Uttormark.
However, switching did prove to be a big deal. His application was denied. He suspects it was due to his pre-existing conditions, which included a routine gallbladder surgery before he retired, and his cholesterol, blood pressure and acid reflux conditions, which are fully controlled with medications. The insurer didn't give him a reason for the denial.
Uttormark ran headlong into a maze of federal regulations that determine whether, when, and how a retiree can transfer from one insurer's Medigap plan to another insurer's Medigap. One in four people enrolled in traditional Medicare have Medigap supplemental insurance – about 10 million retirees – and are affected by these restrictive regulations.
They are "particularly confusing," said Casey Schwarz, the senior counsel for education and federal policy for the Medicare Rights Center in New York and Washington.
She said that people who've just signed up for Medicare Parts A and B routinely call her organization because they are having trouble sorting out their options and what they will be permitted to do in the future if they choose either Medigap, which is supplemental coverage for traditional Medicare, or Medicare Advantage private insurance after initially signing up for Medicare Parts A and B.
A handful of states have looser regulations than the federal rules – California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, and Oregon – and allow retirees to move more freely among various Medigap plans, though the states also have their own restrictions.
Under guaranteed issue, there is only one time when every Medicare beneficiaries is assured access to a Medigap policy: when they first sign up for Medicare Part B. At this time, insurers can neither deny coverage based on a pre-existing condition nor charge a higher premium if an applicant has a specific health condition.
Another guaranteed issue period applies to limited numbers of retirees. It gives retirees the right to buy a Medigap policy – even people with pre-existing conditions – if they lose their previous coverage through no fault of their own. Perhaps their current Medigap or Medicare Advantage insurer went bankrupt or left the state, or their employer ended its Medicare supplement for retirees. When this occurs, however, the retiree must select a new policy within 63 days of losing their old coverage.
Uttormark didn't qualify for guaranteed issue because he was choosing to drop his Medigap policy for a less expensive one. Insurers can rightly "refuse to sell him a policy, can charge him more for pre-existing conditions, or refuse to cover his pre-existing conditions," Schwarz said.
The federal rules also provide an opportunity to switch plans if retirees selected Medicare Advantage as their first form of insurance when they enrolled in Medicare. In this case, they are permitted to move into any Medigap policy sold in their area but they, too, have a restriction: they must do so within the first year of their initial Medicare enrollment.
"Medicare beneficiaries who miss these windows of opportunity may unwittingly forgo the chance to purchase a Medigap policy later in life," the Kaiser Family Foundation said in a recent policy brief detailing the federal and state regulations.


This workshop integrates calming and grounding yin yoga with delicous and lovingly prepared food eaten mindfully within a small group setting.
Instructions are based on the principles found within an Ayurvedic kitchen. You will learn all about cooking with various herbs and spices as well as cooking according to one's dosha (bio-energies).


In recent years, adding new cores and new threads are main methods to add computational power. In line with this approach in this paper we analyze the efficiency of the parallel computational model with shared memory, when dense synchronization is required. As our experimental evaluation shows, contemporary CPUs assisted with OpenMP library perform well in case of such tasks. We also present evidence that OpenMP is easy to learn and use.


Easter is a big dang deal in South Louisiana. There's always a feast on Easter Sunday. We use every excuse to have a big meal with extended family. Easter is no exception.
When The Husband and I were first married, we spent a couple of Easters at MaMa and Pop-Pop's, his grandparents. I thought my family did it big with the glazed ham, pans and pans of casseroles, bowls of veggies and salads, tray after tray of desserts. Uh-uh. Didn't touch MaMa's Easter spread. Just a ham? That's for wussies. MaMa baked a ham, roasted lamb, and smothered a pork roast. If she cooked three different meats, you can imagine how many sides she whipped up...in her frugally equipped farmhouse kitchen, I should add.
But when it comes to Cajun Easter, there's actually something that tops eatin'. Paquing (pronounced pocking) the Easter eggs.
What? You've never heard paquing? Well, bless your little heart! Where've you been?
Just kidding. I lived only a couple of hours from Cajun country, but never knew the mysteries of paquing until I got married.
On Easter Sunday, Cajuns play a traditional game called paque (pock) or paque-paque. This game involves hard boiled eggs...your pretty dyed Easter eggs. Each person selects the egg he/she wishes to use during the game. Two people square off, each holding their eggs firmly with the top exposed. They knock, or paque, the eggs together. The loser is the person whose egg cracks. The winner claims his/her opponent's egg. Then the winner moves on to the next victim...ur...player and a new round starts. The winner of that round claims the loser's egg.
The Boy lost and has to give up his egg.
I lost and gave up my egg. Somehow, The Husband ends up with all the eggs. I think he may have cheated. He's a dirty paquer.
If you've been reading for a while, hopefully you've gotten a glimpse into the Cajun world-- and not just the food (that's one of my goals anyway). Hopefully you've come to see that Cajuns are fun-loving people who like to joke around. Practical jokes and trickery are common-place here. And we love it. A lot of trickery goes on with paquing eggs.
Dr. Barry Jean Ancelet, in his book Cajun Country, reveals that some devilish paquers use dyed goose or guinea hen eggs because they have harder shells. Some rough paquers use painted egg-shaped rocks. And some really crazy paquers sneak in uncooked dyed eggs just for grins.
I've tried my hardest to find out how this game originated...I even got up off my lazy rear and went to the library (full disclosure: I work at the local library). I found out that Cajuns aren't the only people who paque. The custom is practiced in Belgium. People in Greece also paque--although they call it tsougrisma. How did all this tsougrismic paquing begin in Cajun country? I wasn't able to find a source that documented that piece of info. Probably because I was too busy thinking up sophomoric phrases. I am my father's child.
By the way, if you are interested in Cajun culture, give the book below a read. It details the history of the Cajuns as well as their traditions, customs, and culture. Especially how they relate to music, food, and celebrations. The book is one of the most informative I've read on the subject.
Ancelet, Barry Jean, Jay Edwards, and Glen Pitre. Cajun Country. Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 1991.
Every year just before Easter, people want to know the trick for perfectly hard boiled eggs...no green ring around the yolk, no hard to peel shells. And everybody and their brother pipes up with a no-fail method. I decided to conduct a not-so-scientific experiment and test a few of these methods out for myself.
I cook my eggs for 8 minutes because undercooked eggs...well...I won't eat them. I don't find that running the eggs under cold water is enough, so I dunk them in a bowl of ice water. And it works! No green at all.
Now for my next problem. Shells that stick. It's annoying. It uglies up the eggs. Not so terrible for making egg salad. But if my goal is deviled eggs, shells that stick, leaving me with hacked up looking eggs tick me off.
Supposedly fresh eggs are more difficult to peel. There are also numerous tricks out there that are supposed to make peeling eggs easier. After my experience with rotten eggs, I have to use the freshest eggs possible. So I decided to try some of these other tricks.
All eggs were cooked with the same water (tap) on the same stove, for the same amount of time. All eggs, no matter what the treatment, were shocked in ice water for the same amount of time. I wrote treatment names on each shell so I'd know which was which after the ice water bath. Different pots were used for each treatment since I don't have 4 pots that are the same.
Salt added to the water: Beautiful, smooth surfaces & easy to peel. No shell stickage at all.
Baking soda added to the water: The shells stuck a little bit, but not on every one. The whole egg below was the worst looking one. Not bad, but not as good as the salt treatment.
Vinegar added to the water: Out of all the additions, this was the worst. The shells stuck on every egg and more so than with baking soda, leaving me with gouges on every egg.
Control (nothing added to the water): This was the worst overall. When compared to the other treatments, the shells here stuck like white on rice (ok, maybe not that bad). Lots of gouging on the surface of every egg. Not suitable for deviling.
Boil your Easter eggs. Dye them. Have a paquing good time!
What a great tip! Gonna go boil some eggs and try it out! Have a delicious Easter!
Something tells me that this paquing is dirty business. If I was you, I would be looking for an egg-shaped rock and painting it in pastel colors;D You gotta get the hubby back for that! This is a great game for the kiddos. We'll have to give it a try.
Love your experiment with the boiled eggs. I'm definitely adding salt to my water from now on! Happy Easter to you!!
I love the Cajun life!! Or hearing about it from you. I just might go request that book from the library.
Don't forget about freezing your hard-boiled egg to gain an advantage.
Never heard about the salt or baking soda, but since my girls are grown, married and live away from home I have to dye all my eggs alone. I boil and dye my eggs at the same time. Using 4 separate pots. I get the small packs of food coloring and to the water add a little vinegar and a small vial of food coloring to each pot. Eggs cooked and dyed all at the same time and colors are bright. Oh, I peel my eggs under running water. They come out really clean.
We've always pocked eggs. We have an egg pocking tournament because we're such a large family. My father-in-law is responsible for making the tournament bracket. He announces who has to pock with whom. If you win your pock, you move on to play another winner.Eventually a winner is announced. Then it's time to pock the big ends. At the end there is an official winner who is awarded bunny ears and a chocolate bunny. The big end winner (2nd place) "wins" a rubber chicken and must keep it for next year's "winner".

Coincidence is a 1921 American silent comedy film starring Robert Harron and June Walker. It was Harron's first starring role after signing a deal with Metro Pictures Corporation, as well as his last film; Harron died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in September 1920 between completion of filming and the release. It was directed by Chester "Chet" Withey and written by Brian Hooker based on a story by Howard E. Morton. The cinematographer was Louis C. Bitzer.

According to film historian Anthony Slide, "With Robert Harron's death, the film industry for the first time had to deal with the release of a film whose star had just died under mysterious circumstances." The film was released in 1921, the year following Harron's death. Instead of promoting Coincidence as Harron's final film, Metro chose not to associate it with Harron's death and had a "low key" release.

Plot

Billy Jenks (Harron) leaves his small town to find success in New York City, but he settles for a department store cashier job. He gets in a heated romance with secretary and aspiring pianist Phoebe Howard (Walker). Their romance leads to both of them being fired, and Billy is later arrested for burglary. Billy tries to borrow money from his wealthy aunt, who has died without his knowledge. Also without his knowledge, she left him $100,000, and her estate lawyers manage to find Billy through a coincidence. The money is then stolen by a con man who also tries to woo Phoebe, but Billy gets both back through a series of coincidences. He and Phoebe then get married.

Cast
Bradley Barker as "Handsome Harry" Brent
Frank Belcher as John Carter
William Frederic as Stephen Fiske
Robert Harron as Billy Jenks
June Ellen Terry as Dorothy Carter
June Walker as Phoebe Howard

Production notes
Coincidence began shooting in Mamaroneck, New York in July 1920.  The film is now lost.  No prints are known to survive.

Q: 16 millisecond quantization when sending/receivingtcp packets I have a C++ application running on windows xp 32 system sending and receiving short tcp/ip packets.
Measuring (accurately) the arrival time I see a quantization of the arrival time  to 16 millisecond time units. (Meaning all packets arriving are at (16 )xN milliseconds separated from each other)
To avoid packet aggregation I tried to disable the NAGLE algorithm by setting the IPPROTO_TCP option to TCP_NODELAY in the socket variables but it did not help
I suspect that the problem is related to the windows schedular which also have a 16 millisecond clock..
Any idea of a solution to this problem ?
Thanks

A: Use a higher resolution timer such as QueryPerformanceTimer() or __rdtsc() being aware of their downfalls.
Similarly note if you are using wait functions you may want to call timeBeginPeriod() for 1ms resolution or even implement a busy-way delay function wrapped around a higher resolution timer.

Luxury Miller - 100 Degrees [MP3]
Luxury, the singer & songwriter, was born Khadijah Monay Miller on February 4th, 1996. She is an independent artist who specializes in the mastery of a Pop, Urban, EDM, & Reggae-blended sound. She has worked with an independent label from 2012-2014 and is now ready to take her career to the next level.
Being born & raised in Newark, NJ, her love for music and the arts came about almost instinctively. Since the beginning of time, Luxury has been showcasing her talent and diligently working towards actualizing her dreams of being a world renowned singer & songwriter.
Luxury has always had a passion for performing & entertaining. In 5th grade, she began writing poems as a way to be expressive and singing followed shortly after. Being heavily influenced by Pop Culture & 90s Hip-Hop and R&B, she would put on performances at family events, cookouts, weddings, & parties, etc. and pretend to be Destiny's Child along with two older cousins.
Her greatest music inspirations are Aaliyah, Beyoncé, Brandy, Rihanna, Madonna, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, & Chris Brown
Due to Luxury's eclectic style, her songwriting is a little different from most songwriters who started out as poets. Instead of beginning the song by writing, she "finds her melodies first and then the words fall into place". By relying on the melodies to anchor the feelings & emotions of the songs, she is able to reach a broader audience and not be boxed in by one particular sound. Her history as a poet coupled with her genius melodies puts her in the position to make both catchy & meaningful songs that one shall never grow tired of.
You can give Luxury's third single, "100 Degrees", a listen below...

Drill instructors are brothers in arms
Marine Staff Sgts. Lukhma McBride (left) and Bakhit McBride stand in a squad bay used for Marines going through the Drill Instructor School at Marine Corps Recruit Depot. The drill instructors are brothers and speak three languages.
(Nelvin C. Cepeda)
By Gretel C. Kovach
Military culture breeds conformity, but even in uniform the McBride brothers always stood out. Lukhma and Bakhit McBride are staff sergeants from the impoverished African nation of Chad who enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Their background set them apart, but so has their dedication to the job and determination to succeed, their supervisors said.
Far from being a hindrance, their international upbringing as sons of an American father and Chadian mother helped them excel as Marines, said Lukhma, 30, and Bakhit, 27.
Until recently both were instructors in the elite schoolhouse billet at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, training future drill instructors to transform civilians into Marines. Lukhma has been selected for additional education and commissioning as an officer. Bakhit's bosses wouldn't be surprised if he followed in his big brother's footsteps.
"The McBride brothers are top notch," said 1st Sgt. Ronald Garrett, as Lukhma prepared to transfer to Miramar Marine Corps Air Station. "They are the ultimate professionals in everything they do."
The San Diego recruit depot has been making Marines since 1923. Its twin boot camp at Parris Island, S.C., has been training enlisted men since 1915 and women since 1949.
Today the San Diego depot has about 450 drill instructors on staff to train about 3,200 to 7,400 recruits at a time. It is a demanding assignment, even by Marine Corps standards, because of round-the-clock hours during each 12-week cycle of training.
After proving themselves as drill instructors, six to 10 move across the street to the schoolhouse. The 11-week course they teach future drill instructors includes seminars and role playing in a mock squad bay of bunk beds and foot lockers.
"The odds of making it over here are not that good. Then they get brothers over here. The odds have got to be crazy on that one," Garrett said.
Lukhma and Bakhit are naturalized U.S. citizens who grew up in the Chadian capital, N'Djamena. Their father, Leslie McBride, moved to Chad in 1975 as a Peace Corps volunteer after a back problem disqualified him from military service during the Vietnam War.
He still lives there today, working for the U.S. Agency for International Development. Leslie McBride and his wife, Onokidi, have five children. All joined the U.S. military. Besides the McBride brothers, one sister also chose the Marines: Staff Sgt. Mediya Abakar, who is stationed at Camp Pendleton and currently deployed to Afghanistan.
The other sisters joined the Navy. Layla McBride finished her service and returned to Africa. Chief Petty Officer Samira McBride is stationed at Naval Base San Diego.
Their father's example as a public servant and their weekends hanging out at the U.S. embassy in Chad inspired their military careers.
The McBride brothers befriended the Marine security guards and became regulars at the annual Marine birthday ball. Their Arabic skills, as well as French and English, later came in handy during deployments to Iraq.
That was just one way their upbringing served them as Marines.
Selflessness and generosity, courtesy and respect for elders, it all translated easily for them to Marine life. Starting in boot camp, recruits are taught there is no "I" in team, the needs of the Corps are paramount. Rank will be respected. The heritage of the Corps must endure.
In Chad, "traditions are still real strict. People abide by them. There's a very strong code of honor in everything that you do," Bakhit said. "It's a very value-based culture."
Family, above all, is the center of Chadian culture. The Marine Corps has its own brotherhood and esprit de corps.
Growing up in Chad, the concept of sibling rivalry was alien to the McBride brothers. As the elder brother, Lukhma saw any failure by his little brother as his own failure to guide and protect.
There was tough love, of course. Bakhit, the more studious one, once came home crying because a neighbor kid robbed him. "I said either you go back and get your money or I'm going to get you here," Lukhma said. "It was a sense of responsibility. I knew I had to look out for him and help him survive."
When they became Marines, the McBride brothers stuck together.
They served one of their multiple tours to Iraq together, at a remote outpost in the Anbar desert. The pair even deployed at sea, despite the taboo against brothers on the same ship.
Most weekends they gather at home in Temecula, with each sibling's spouse and children, to dine on roast lamb and stews.
Their family bond has been a key to their success as Marines, Lukhma said. If one has a problem at work, the other will step in with advice. "We try to sharpen each other up," he said.
Their unusual background begs the question, what makes a Marine? Values and deeds. Honor, courage and commitment, they said.
"It doesn't matter who they are or where they come from or what their background is," be it football star or computer programmer, Bakhit said. "At the end of the day, it's our job to turn them into United States Marines."
In the schoolhouse, a sign over the door says, "The future of the Marine Corps begins here."
"This place is all about giving back to the Marine Corps," Bakhit said. "It's where the Marine Corps is going to be five, six years from now. The way these recruits are being trained right now, the way these instructors are being trained, sets that standard. That is the foundation."
As Lukhma approached the end of his three-year tour at the recruit depot, he was already a legend at the schoolhouse. One of his finest off-duty moments, his peers said, was the great lobster snatch.
To the surprise of his Marine buddies pole fishing ashore, Lukhma dove into the cold, dark water of San Diego Bay one evening and swam after a lobster. He chased it underwater, grabbed it with his hands and brought it back to the schoolhouse, where he cooked it in his Crock-Pot for his fellow instructors.
Lukhma had always been a passionate fisherman willing to pull all-nighters reeling them in, before reporting for duty as fresh-pressed and alert as ever. After he spotted the lobster's beady little eyes and his line broke, there was no question of letting it get away.
"Once I surfaced at shore I noticed that I was soaked, that I had jumped in the water with my full clothes," he recalled.
Aside from his crustacean conquest, Lukhma could also look back on hundreds of recruits he forged into Marines and scores of drill instructors. Many remain in touch.
As a drill instructor, he sometimes had to convince a recruit not to abandon his commitment to serve, not to quit when it seemed too hard. He asked for nothing he didn't demand of himself.
"Leadership is a relationship," Lukhma said. One must show the way, to make that recruit "understand that you are going above and beyond to sacrifice your time, and your heart and soul that you put in this job, so they can become better people."

My "Wild" journey — and, seeing as I never set foot outside my north London office for almost the entire length of it, I should really stop using the title as an adjective — began with a review of Cheryl Strayed's memoir in the New York Times. The review kicked off with an arresting sentence: "It's not very manly, the topic of weeping while reading." And it ended with another one: "The cumulative welling up I experienced during 'Wild' was partly a response to that too infrequent sight — that of a writer finding her voice, and sustaining it, right in front of your eyes." I wanted very badly to read this book.
I think I may have skipped a chunk of the review, though, the stuff in between, because when "Wild" arrived through the post, I noted with alarm that a pair of hiking boots featured prominently on the front cover. This was a book about hiking? I'm not a hiker. I do go outside, sometimes, but only when strictly necessary, to travel from one urban amenity to another. I thought I'd read the first few pages, though, if only to justify the purchase, postage and packing. Twenty-four hours later, I was, like Dwight Garner of the New York Times, in a mess. I was also convinced that I was the right person to adapt "Wild" for the screen.
A lawyer might describe this conviction as unsafe. There was the hiking thing, and the English thing, and the man thing: "Wild" has gone on to become a contemporary feminist classic and a long time ago, back in the 20th century, I wrote a couple of novels that became associated with a certain kind of masculinity. And the material wasn't straightforward. The flashbacks were complicated and would need reordering, I felt, and if they were to work dramatically, I needed to find a way of externalizing Cheryl's inner monologue.
Set against that, I felt I understood the book. It wasn't about hiking, not to me. It was about grief, families, ambition, rage, disappointment and hope, and it was written with an urban liberal-arts sensibility that succeeded in placing anyone with the same set of values right there on the trail with Cheryl, screwed up, unprepared, determined to succeed in her ambition simply because there are no viable alternatives anywhere else.
And tonally, the book was a gift, piercingly honest, deeply painful, but funny and self-deprecating too. The great thing about adaptation is that you can, if you're lucky, get to work on material that you couldn't have generated yourself but that nevertheless speaks deeply to you. I had recently written two movies about young women ("An Education" and the upcoming "Brooklyn"); I hoped that those scripts and a few ideas about how to approach "Wild" might be enough to persuade Cheryl and the producers, Bruna Papandrea and Reese Witherspoon (who also stars), to give me a shot.
"Wild" moved toward production much faster than any film I've ever been involved with. Usually scripts get written slowly, by writers who know there's no hurry, and then kick around for another four or five years, and the glacial pace can drive you insane. But I first met Bruna and Reese to talk about the project in October 2012, and found myself promising a first draft within three months; 10 months after delivery of that first draft, the movie had wrapped.
Moving at this speed meant a particularly intense pre-production period. Jean-Marc Vallée, the French Canadian director of "Dallas Buyers Club," climbed aboard just a couple of months before shooting, and he needed every second available to put his stamp on the material. Jean-Marc would Skype me as soon as he got out of bed, from Canada, or L.A., or — just before he started shooting — from Oregon, and we talked about every scene, every page, every line. And when we'd got to the end, we went back to the beginning again. This is what happens in development, of course, but usually over the course of years, not days. It nearly killed me, but the torture was, of necessity, brief. I didn't even meet Jean-Marc in person until we all met up at the Toronto Film Festival to promote the film.
Making a movie, then, turns out to be surprisingly easy; I'd just been doing it wrong for the last 20 years or so. All you need is a bestselling book that people are passionate about, an A-list star who owns the rights to said book and is committed to starring in the adaptation as soon as possible, and a director who has just come off an Oscar-winning movie. D'oh.

The gardener was comfortable with seeds, complacent bits that remained in the furrows, embryonic. Plants, with opulent displays and demanding personalities, struck the gardener as obnoxious. His wife had loved the brightness of petals; she stripped all the flowers in the garden the night she went, stuffing the pockets of her nightgown with satin tongues. They spilled as she walked, and in the morning the gardener had followed the trail, where he found others moored like small boats at the bank of the river.
Each year the gardener's neighbors found their doorsteps heaped with hastily cut stems just beginning to bloom, color hot and urgent beneath clasped green. They wondered if perhaps the gardener's meek children, always dressed in somber clothes, were the ones who cut them so early, casting them out before they flowered.
The gardener's children adored the flowers, hated the tool shed, and would never say why. They crept, silent as vines, into the garden each night after the lamps had been blown out, to bury their fingers into the earth at the roots of the stalks. One night, the gardener woke with a start and charged outside. The children were kneeling in the dirt, gray flannel nightclothes drawn up to their thighs. Gathering them in a herd, the gardener could not meet his children's eyes as he locked them inside the tool shed. He slept at the river that night, head in his hands and knees drawn to his chest—small and still as a buried thing, set deep into the cold clay of the bank.
When morning came the children were gone. The padlock, heavy and thick as a heart, hung untouched on the door; there were no new holes in the shed, no missing planks. All the flowers in the garden had bloomed overnight.

The first fox makes me remember the first house, which was the house I built when I arrived, when the sky opened or it was my eyes and there were these woods. I was in them. There were mountains and the following of a river, the first fox walking alongside me, a pretend-brother.
In these woods what I remember most was the feeling of being alive, even though I don't believe in these death-dreams. I believe in the bark on trees. I believe in the stillness of air. I believe in birds calling above me or down, even when I cannot understand their message.
These woods are a difficult place. These woods are a haunting. In these lost woods, I am remote.
The first house was made of trees. I used an axe. I used a saw. This first house was the forest felled and I made walls. I made walls and a floor and a ceiling to hold above my head. I made a chimney for the first snow and gutters for the rain. I gave the first house a first porch so that I could stand upon it, look out from it, see the ring of lost woods surrounding me and gesture at its fox-lined interior.
In these woods, in this first house.
When I call, the word comes out Disbelief.
My brother was deer-hooves, my brother was antlers. My brother was possessed with a message and the message was that I was dying, though I still do not believe him. When I was a deer and we were a herd, we chased the river through these woods, knowing every branch and lichened-rock. This was us as deer-children, ears cocked to a breakdown of light. This was our deer-ancestry, our deer-childhood. My brother, his dear face.
In these woods, my brother has not returned. He left his message and was gone. When I looked from the note to his face, his face had turned the color of sky. He had disappeared and I was left to weep deer-tears from the side of unbrothering.
In these woods, there are no directions.
I stood on the porch of my first house, before it had burned down, and the first fox crept into my head. He was quick, this fox, and though he wanted to be a brother and pretended as best he could, he was a fox, and a fox is never a deer-brother. A fox can only want to be and fail. This is how the world starts on fire. This is how foxes burn.
That fox inside of my head was the first fix, an instant of death-dreams unwound. I invited him in to play catch with honey on our tongues, and we held deer-hoof in fox-paw, we felt the fires rise up around us. This first house, these lost woods, the first fox and my gone-lost deer-brother. We burned down in a lack of knowing.
In these woods, sometimes there are only weeping flames.
Dear Brother: When was the last time you remember us playing through this river? It was yesterday, a lifetime long, and inside of the river were reflections, and I was unafraid. Do you remember what that was like, to be running, to be deer-brothers?

The point of liking is the point. In particular, anticipation is invisible if I say hey before kissing you or ask you if you'll join me outside. Liken it—the drive—to being speechless. Liken the fortification of my inflection to slowly removing the scarf in a pace from which your nape shivers then smoothes back into the blood. Specific enough, this non-conversation, though mega too, the bones uneven and again this skin as water these bones as rocks the absence as sky. It's simple, or it develops like denial in the throat to cover us outside of surplus. And I like you; I unpack my restless references to start a word out in the refinery of lips.
The point of sameness is the point. In particular, you look too local for the vacation to mean anything. I actually want you with all of your clothes on and the cluster of an outline I will spend all night training myself to replicate with acrylics. Reference is the thing upon which knowledge surfaces, the thing speaking reciprocates. That dress looks miles away from its fabric's source. Laughing ourselves into consumption, valuing landscapes by taking the outside table to talk to ourselves, we song here too. I will handwrite distance for you. Our lakes line up our river will be consulted from the moment in which I say I, meaning us. Cities, at closeness, know how many breathers they hold indoors. It's just that they lose them when they must choose themselves.

An update from the Gaeltacht Ó Conchúir!
It's been eight months since my post tracking my daughter's vocabulary in both English and Irish. She's approaching two and a half years of age now. There have been a lot of positive changes and encouraging signs!
Our daughter often creates her own words and phrases for things: she loves to chew pieces of ice, and has insisted for some time on calling an ice cube a "carraig" (Irish for "rock"). She has been reluctant to say the correct Irish word, "oighear", though she's understood the word for some time.
Róisín's pronunciation is coming along well and she is overcoming her difficulty with pronouncing the letter R. Recently she's begun to pronounce it more clearly and just yesterday said it perfectly.
The range of vocabulary in both languages grows daily. We are well within the phase that we have to watch we say – she's quick to imitate every spoken utterance, whether polite or rude. It's been observed of children that they need to hear a word repeatedly to remember it, however only once if it's naughty.
Róisín loves to count her numbers and say their color. At this point she only knows them in Irish.
The most significant development is her improvement in making sentences through Irish. This had lagged behind English. Back in late March she was saying "thank you" and "I love you", but the Irish equivalents came a little later.
According to the Comhluadar / Foras book A Guide for Parents Speaking Irish at Home, this is normal. The literature says that it often seems like children are learning English better because English is simpler than Irish – both in that there are less sounds in English than Irish, and the difference is even greater in grammar. Irish is more in line with other Indo-European languages in the complexity of its grammar, unlike English which has fairly simple grammar by comparison.
For example, the vocative form – the rules for when a name changes while addressing that person – (eg: Colm = A Choilm) is of course not found in English. She seems to grasp it pretty solidly now, though for a while I could see it confused her. I'm sure there's an added confusion with the word for "the" in Irish: an. When it comes before a noun with a consonant, the n sound is dropped, which means it sounds the same as the vocative. My wife has also noticed that Róisín will sometimes call her "a dama," instead of mama, which could be a two-year-old's silly attempt at vocative form.
Some of the difficulty is the longer phrases in Irish, so my wife Linda has taken to shortening: asking her to say "Dia leat" when someone sneezes, for example, and not bothering with "beannachtí". Later I read that native speakers tend to use these shortcuts anyway, including Dia leat. Likewise, she can't handle "go raibh maith agat" for "thank you", but "buíochas" ("thanks") is no problem for her.
Róisín has an equal like for both languages, and about an equal grasp of both, yet my wife believes she has slightly more respect for the Irish. We've noticed that if we tell her not to climb on something, or to stop messing with something she shouldn't touch, she often ignores commands in English, yet will mind the Irish instruction. This "issue" has actually created an environment that requires more Irish in our general conversations at home with my wife and oldest daughter.
I'm not sure if this will remain the same for long, but when visitors come over to the house, she tries a mix of Irish and English at first. When they don't understand she switches to mostly English, though even when she attempts to sort them apart she continues to mix them. Eventually, she'll stop trying Irish at all and use English as the default language, with no expectation that the other speaks Gaeilge. That will be sad.
Since my last post on this topic, our son, Cíaran Seosamh Fionn was born. He is in good health and he is a wonderful addition to the family. Indeed, at this point it is hard to believe there was a time without him.
Reading a story in Irish together.
It will be great for Róisín to have another Irish speaker around. I hope this will be a nice counter balance to the general lack of Irish speakers in our area.
As for me, I will be pushing my studies even harder. The next year will be critical, as she will begin to ask more questions about the world. I will need a more robust command of Irish to accommodate it.
