Im using Thermaltake Versa J21
i had tried two setup and ending up with the #1 for better airflow/cooler cpu/gpu/mobo
*take note that im using msi 1080ti duke oc, but underclock + set up max temp of 65c to reduce temp.
* only play dota & warframe
* most heavy on video editing / rendering
* test done after few frames of dota.
120mm AIO radiator for CPU
Setup : 120mm AIO radiator for CPU as back exhaust, 2 top exhaust fan, 3 front intake fan
idle cpu : 35-40c
idle gpu : 38c
idle mobo : 40c
on cpu load only, cpu reach 60c.
on gpu load , gpu temp is around 55c, cpu up to 50c, mobo up to 50c.
manage to get good air flow to push out heat .
cpu goes up abit as radiator gets heat up.
crank up fan for back exhaust (radiator) does cool cpu up further
but case does not warm up as below #2.
I am using 240mm AIO radiator for CPU.
Versa J21 can only mount 240mm radiator at front (top will definitely blocked by RAM height - Trident Z non rgb).
Tested a few combinations, all end up with the radiator got heat up when gpu on load.
Cant push heat out quickly enough, causing mobo + cp to heat up.
idle cpu : 34-38c
idle gpu : 38c
idle mobo : 40c
On CPU load : CPU goes up to 48-53degrees
On GPU load : GPU up to 60-65degrees , CPU goes up to 60degrees, mobo up to 60degrees
can feel the casing/tempered glass very hot
open up tempered glass reduce temp alot
tested combinations below, all about the same. best temp result without opening glass was #iii (as per above).
#i CPU 240mm AIO radiator as intake + 2 top exhaust + 1 back exhaust
#ii CPU 240mm AIO radiator as exhaust + 2 top exhaust + 1 back intake
#iii CPU 240mm AIO radiator as exhaust + 2 top exhaust + 1 back intake + 2 fan to cool mobo (as per photo below)

thanks for your detail feedback. actually i already bought phanteks p300 and i have a weird resultThis post has been edited by A.FAIDHI: Jan 7 2019, 02:27 PM
my currently fan setup:
2x 140mm noctua industrial
1x 120mm top cooler master sickleflow exhaust
1x 120mm phanteks stock fan rear exhaust
cpu cooler: xigmatek loki II (air cooler)
idle cpu: 40
load cpu: 70
idle gpu:40
load gpu: 70
one night i try to experiment my gpu tempt playing overwatch while turn off both my front intake (only turn on fan top and rear as exhaust). then my gpu tempt around 67-70
my guessing right now too much intake while my exhaust fan not fast enough to take out the hot air. my only solution right now need to change exhaust fan
but yeah...actually gpu tempt at 70c its pretty good. wow for gpu at 55C is good
120mm AIO cooler do any good? i never try any AIO cooler and i read it somewhere it said once the tempt go high it will take time to cool back. Again never try myself
hmmm... i think i want to diy and put extra fan at the at the outside bottom rear case (near to graphic card) as exhaust fan but need to check first when i get home

One of a Kind: A Schweet Reno For A Sweet Couple
Grace didn't just update Erin and Charlie's home — she added personal touches to tell their family's sweet story.
Grace Gets Personal
Grace makes sure every home she touches tells the homeowners' stories. In this case, Charlie and Erin had a sweet love story that Grace found a way to incorporate. Their love combined with family history in the ice cream business, created one schweet renovation.
Meet the Homeowners
Erin and Charlie Schultz met freshmen year of college and the rest of history! Here they are with their two children and dog.
Kitchen, Before
Before the renovation, the kitchen was small, cramped, and outdated. The window over the sink looked into the living room.
Living Room and Kitchen, After
The living room now opens into the much more spacious kitchen, which features a large, functional island, vaulted ceilings, and a customized message on the backsplash.
Kitchen, After
This custom metal sign on the kitchen backsplash draws from two sources of inspiration: Charlie's grandparents' dairy's slogan and Charlie and Erin's penchant for turning "S" words into "Sch" words.
Kitchen, Before
The original kitchen featured a very oddly placed brick stack that housed the oven.
Kitchen, After
The brick from the oven stack was repurposed to create this delightful storage nook for flatware and utensils.
Kitchen, Before
Another look at how small the kitchen was. You'll see in the back that the door on the left lead to a small office space. Wait 'til you see what Grace did there!
Kitchen and Office, After
Grace opened up those walls, said goodbye to that office, and gave the Schultz's their very own ice cream parlor!
Ice Cream Parlor
An in-home ice cream parlor is pretty schweet, but there's a reason why Grace incorporated it into her design. Charlie's family invented a very famous ice cream bar that you've definitely heard of!
Ice Cream Parlor Details
The ice cream parlor features authentic condiment dispensers reminiscent of those found in Charlie's grandparents' dairy company.
Love Letter Walls
And in case the ice cream parlor couldn't get any sweeter, Grace took love letters Charlie and Erin wrote to each other and turned them into wallpaper!
Dining Room, Before
Previously, the dining room was wasted space. The family never used it and it was positioned awkwardly within the home.
Dining Room, After
So long dining room and hello home office! Like every other room, there had to be a personal touch. So, Grace had Charlie take photos of his and Erin's favorite spots around Fort Worth, Texas and had them turned into wallpaper to cover the office cabinets. Cute, right?

Italians had 800 tanks in east Africa in 35-36. The equipment for the build-up alone included 6,000 machine guns, 2,000 pieces of artillery, 595 tanks, and 390 aircraft. Before these arrived, the Italians had 3,300 machine guns, 275 artillery pieces, 200 tankettes, and 205 aircraft. Thanks to the Royal Navy (Regia Marina), the Italians had tons of ammunition, food, http://www.thefullwiki.org/Italian_conquest_of_Ethiopia
The Italians recruited in Yemen. https://books.openedition.org/cfee/1400?lang=en Similar enlistment of indigenous locals from across the colonial border took place in the Somali R.C.T.C. Apart from the usual enlistments in Colonia Eritrea and Ethiopia, in this case, army recruiting offices also worked on the Arabian Peninsula, particularly in Yemen. Already, from the birth of Italian Somalia on 5 April 1908, the recruits were seen as a heterogeneous mass. This can be read into a note sent from the Foreign Minister Tittoni to Salvago Raggi, the then Governor of Eritrea: "I am working with H.M. consulate in Yemen on the enlistment of a further five hundred askaris with over one thousand already recruited
Part 2.................1st move would be to take British held Somaliland, & Japan had an interest in Madagascar with it's huge natural harbor, so with Yemen & Somaliland in Italian & German hands, it becomes easier with friendly ports nearby to invade Madagascar. & the NW corner of the Indian ocean becomes an Axis lake.
Axis Yemen move 1939
Black Hornet posted a topic in World War II 1939 to 1945Well, since I'm knockin em dead so far with these, I'll try 1 more. Germany does oil exploration in Yemen in 30's, builds refineries, then lands forces in Italian held Somaliland & with Italian naval participation invades Yemen in 1939 & chokes off Red Sea to British naval traffic, ( Japanese might have to get involved) & use Yemen as a base for invading Egypt from the south, or go east. I dunno how feasible this is, but it does solve one huge problem for German desert travel, ( gas ), & gets around the nagging problem of the chokepoint of Qatarra depression & med sea, 40 miles wide where they got stuffed in 42, El Alamein. Germany had interest in the region going back to 1914. Just before war broke out in 1914, British and German companies had negotiated joint participation in the newly-founded Turkish Petroleum Company that held prospecting rights in Mesopotamia. https://www.globalpolicy.org/component/content/article/185-general/40479-great-power-conflict-over-iraqi-oil-the-world-war-i-era.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Somaliland
HE 119 BOB scenario
Black Hornet replied to Black Hornet's topic in World War II 1939 to 1945JU 86, 900 built https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_86 I'd venture a guess that 3-400 DO 19 could have been built in place of these. In 1974, a mock-staged Operation Sealion was done with Galland as a judge, it was decided to be a fail based on fuel re-supply issue
HE 119 BOB scenario
Black Hornet posted a topic in World War II 1939 to 1945370 mph in 1937, better than ME 110, decent range. These could operate minus fighter protection often, ( diving attacks from British fighters could still hit them ). But then they could operate at both low & high altitude. These plus a German version of Operation Pluto, ( fuel lines dragged across channel ), make an interesting what if. Para attacks on airfields was done in mock attacks by the British with very good results I read in I think it was Crosley's book, They gave me a Seafire. One could add JU 86 not built, ( several hundred were ), & in it's place the 4 engined DO 19. These would have better survivability than twins for the simple reason they often can fly home on 2 engines, ( the FW 200 was designed this way for example ). http://airpigz.com/blog/2010/2/11/1937-german-heinkel-he-119-with-2350hp-armrest.html?fbclid=IwAR09NHpBQeZCcw9utRSiGXjC14ZpR_Ayy470V_Haa38ePcisOdj8XGRdAj4 And Japanese copy is reported to have a top speed of 447 mph https://oldmachinepress.com/2012/12/11/yokosuka-kugisho-r2y1-keiun/?fbclid=IwAR1Dh4ja5XDJ99Qn0LH4nJZQ7YBUdaoQY-IcNcY7shAbTluq-BOZ8c_5rkM
As to the original post question,Iceland ran fish to the UK, I forget how much, but a large tonnage per year, many ships lost, it was very dangerous. There was also 1 Spit Ace from Iceland as I recall. Technical data re Faeroes Two Spitfires were stationed here in 1943 but again with the Luftwaffe flying in low level, radar would not pick them up so success from this station was non-existant. http://www.crashsiteorkney.com/shetland-airfields-and-airbases http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peoples ... 8990.shtml Of the eighteen Faroe Islands, only one, Vágar, is flat enough for aeroplanes to land. the Pioneer Corps arrived in April 1942 to start building roads and an airport and extending the harbour at Sørvágur. The first aeroplane landed here in Autumn 1942 Quote
As to air operations, it is the essential key to a German move on Iceland as they must have a quick answer to the Royal Navy when they arrive to sink the cargo ships, 6 & 8 inch guns mounted aft of these ships would provide one quick response, but as to air ops, how quick could they be up & running? well in Spain they did it in a day............... On 9 August we started the job of rebuilding our six He 51s, On 10 August, the first He 51 was fully assembled and ready for operations. The aircraft stood in the open, replacement parts, ammunition and fuel and oil laying protected from the sun under tarpaulins at the edge of the forest. http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/germany_trautloft.htm Plus they had plank wood instant runways used quite a bit in Norway. http://s16.photobucket.com/user/Kjetil_ ... 0.jpg.html http://s16.photobucket.com/user/Kjetil_ ... _.jpg.html http://s16.photobucket.com/user/Kjetil_ ... 1.jpg.html
This is camp Skipton, it has paved roads surrounding it, each one viable as runways to single engine planes. If one looks close at road on left, it is 2 lane wide. Link about the camp https://roddyfox.com/2013/10/27/alfred-fox-iceland-1940-42-some-detective-work-finds-skipton-camp/
Where's the edit button? http://books.stonebooks.com/history/iceland/ As an asides, it was warmer than unusual in 1940 in Iceland. following the warm climate between 1930 and 1940. https://notendur.hi.is/oi/icelandic_glaciers.htm
Construction of naval facilities at Hvalfordhur began soon after the occupation and these gradually grew into a large and important complex: amine depot, major pier and several jetties, major accommodations, a fresh water supply system, ammunition storage, a fleet bakery, bulk naval storage warehouse, recreation facilities, a direction-finding station, and a naval camp. Later, the installation included a major fuel farm,
Good question John. I will dig up where I got that, though I doubt those specifics are obtainable. One thing I learned last night was from Crosley's They Gave me a Seafire book was that the Royal navy didn't deploy Air Direction finding radar as RAF did in 1st 2 years of the war as they were afraid it would give away the Fleets position. Therefore, the Luftwaffe would have little to fear from Royal navy crossing from Norway to Iceland.
The British built a fuel farm when they were there, Germans could've done the same had they gone prior to operation Fork. It would seem they had a 2 week window with south Norway under control before British landed. On the subject of setting up air ops, they did it in 1 day at Spain in 37, they operated without hangars in the open.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has lamented the slow progress in tackling Viral Hepatitis B in Africa.
The African region of the UN agency, in a press statement on Friday, said only three countries – Uganda, Rwanda and Cabo Verde – out of the 47 countries in the region are on track to eliminating the disease.
This is the first time the African region of the WHO is examining hepatitis prevalence and responses among its member states.
According to the new scorecard, dying of viral hepatitis in Africa is becoming a bigger threat than dying of AIDS, malaria or tuberculosis.
The disease is said to affect one in 15 people in the WHO African region.
WHO Regional Director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti, said the analysis is the first to track each country in the region and to assess progress towards the goal of saving the lives of more than two million Africans who may develop progressive hepatitis B or C liver disease in the next decade if countries fail to ramp up their efforts.
The scorecard will be presented at the first African Hepatitis Summit to be held in Kampala, Uganda from June 18 – 20.
The scorecard provides vital information about the status of the regional hepatitis response, measuring progress against the Framework for Action for the Prevention, Care and Treatment of Viral Hepatitis in the African Region (2016–2020).
"It was created as a guide for Member States on the implementation of the Global Health Sector Strategy on Viral Hepatitis, which calls for the elimination of hepatitis by 2030 (defined as a 90 per cent reduction in new cases and 65 per cent reduction in deaths)," it said.
What is Hepatitis?
Hepatitis is the inflammation of liver tissue, commonly caused by virus.
There are five group of Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. However, the viral hepatitis with leading concerns are B and C.
Viral Hepatitis B and C affects 325 million people globally.
The diseases are also root cause of liver cancer, leading to 1.34 million global deaths every year.
The disease is regarded as a silent killer because while some people do not have symptoms, others develop yellow discolouration of the skin and whiteness of the eyes, poor appetite, vomiting, tiredness, abdominal pain, or diarrhoea.
The most common cause of the diseases are the hepatitis viruses. It can also be caused by the consumption of excessive alcohol, certain medication, infections, and autoimmune disease among others.
WHO scorecard
The analysis from the international health agency shows that 28 countries have developed a national hepatitis strategic plan for viral hepatitis; however, most are still in draft form with only 13 officially published and disseminated.
Nigeria is one of the 13 countries that have officially published and disseminated the plans.
Ms Moeti said WHO has been a major partner in the regional response with policy development and provision of technical and financial support as well as capacity building for a co-ordinated regional response.
"Every year more than 200 000 people in Africa are dying from complications of viral hepatitis B and C-related liver disease, including cirrhosis and liver cancer.
"Sixty million people in the WHO Africa Region were living with chronic hepatitis B infection in 2015. More than 4.8 million of them are children under five years old. A further 10 million are infected with hepatitis C, most likely due to unsafe injection practices within health facilities or by communities."
Nigeria's situation
In Nigeria, there are no official statistics of the total number of people affected by hepatitis B and C.
However, WHO said Nigeria has a high burden of viral hepatitis B and C at prevalence rate of 11.2 per cent and 2.0 per cent respectively.
A major cause of the spread of the disease in Nigeria stems from lack of knowledge about the disease, poor health seeking behaviour as most Nigerians do not do medical checks, delivering babies at home and circumcision by unqualified hands, among others.
Hepatitis is a communicable disease but can be vaccine prevented. In Nigeria, the vaccine has been included as part of the immunisation schedule for children. (National Programme on Immunisation (NPI), since 2004.
Unfortunately, most children still miss out on the vaccination due to low immunisation coverage. Most adults are also unaware that they can be vaccinated. In cases where the adults are aware, the cost of vaccination is high, thereby discouraging most people.
Another challenge is that the vaccines are only available for adults in some secondary and tertiary health facilities. This means most of the people in the rural areas cannot benefit from it.
Progress in Africa
WHO said only 15 per cent (7/47) countries are leading prevention efforts with national coverage of both Hepatitis B birth dose and childhood pentavalent vaccination exceeding 90 per cent.
The agency said there are major gaps in hepatitis testing and treatment with less than eight countries providing subsidised testing and treatment for viral hepatitis.
"Uganda has started free nationwide hepatitis B treatment, and Rwanda is providing free treatment for both hepatitis B and C.
"These two countries are championing the regional response and are on track to reach the 2020 Framework targets for testing and community awareness," it said.
The scorecard showed that the administration of the hepatitis B vaccination at birth and in early infancy is the most effective way to halt the transmission of the virus. This is because 95 per cent of the burden of chronic diseases is due to infections among children acquired before their fifth birthday, including mother-to-child transmission.
Ms Moeti said in spite of the low cost of birth dose vaccination – less than US$ 0.20 per child – only 11 countries in the region are following this protocol.
"One such country is Cabo Verde where the government has mobilised financial resources and has achieved 99 per cent vaccination coverage at birth.
What Uganda is doing
WHO said in Uganda, more than 6 per cent of the population are infected.
It said the commitment to end hepatitis infection was driven by civil society and strong political will with the result that it became one of the first African nations to fund domestic action against hepatitis B.
Uganda invested around US$ 3 million to embark on a massive, free hepatitis B screening programme in 2015, in which more than four million people have been screened.
There was also a widespread community mobilization and awareness-raising actions.
Ms Moeti said more than 30 per cent of the population who are infected with hepatitis B are now aware of their status and can access comprehensive treatment services, including free medication.
"This performance exceeds the 2020 target for screening and awareness. There however remains much to be done to reach treatment targets.
"It is fitting that the first African Hepatitis Summit should be held in Uganda," Ms Moeti said.
"The country has superb lessons to share, and we support these important exchanges as they are helping to build evidence-based policies and promoting partnerships for more concerted action against viral hepatitis across the region. They are showing us that beating this disease is achievable."

In: Proceedings of the 6th Australasian Congress on Applied Mechanics. Engineers Australia, Perth, WA, pp. 1314-1319. ISBN 9780858259416Full text not available from this repository.
This study analyses coronary circulation under normal heart rate conditions based on a realistic patient data. The left coronary artery and its branches of a healthy patient has been selected in the study to generate realistic geometry data. The models, composed of artery branches, are produced from raw CT scans (DICOM files converted to Hex-meshed models). The computational fluid dynamics package, OpenFOAM was used to perform the simulation. Inlet boundary conditions were a volumetric flow rate of 120ml/min/100g, 1,060 kg/m3 of blood density, 0.0027 pa s of blood viscosity, incompressible flow, steady flow simulation and no-slip condition at wall. We present flow field data, (flow rate, wall pressure and wall shear stress), for use as a baseline model of the hemodynamic behaviour of the coronary arteries of the healthy patients. The results of this study represent the actual effect on patients in terms of flow pattern, flow rate, wall pressure and wall shear stress. This preliminary data has been produced in order to provide a baseline against which to compare diseased coronary blood flow data. This study will be used as a baseline for further studies analysing coronary disease (such as calcification or stenosis) to provide a 'healthy' dataset.

SciBarCamb 2012
Friday, April 20, 2012 at 7:00 PM - Saturday, April 21, 2012 at 5:30 PM (BST)
Event Details
Science Barcamp Cambridge (SciBarCamb) is a gathering of scientists, publishers, technologists, and others with an interest in science. The goal of the event is to create connections between people who have a lot in common, but don't work in the same field and may not meet each other otherwise.
SciBarCamp meetings have been held since 2008 in the US, Canada, Austria, and right here in Cambridge. They have attracted researchers, science communicators, entrepreneurs, artists, media professionals, librarians and scientific publishers. To find out more, visit our website, read this report of the very first SciBarCamp event in Toronto, check out some photos of last year's SciBarCamb, or read what people said about us on Twitter.
Unlike regular conferences, SciBarCamb does not have a predefined programme.

The Sunday evening MLB game on BBC 5 Live Sports Extra focuses on the Los Angeles Dodgers, which is only fitting as they are the centre of attention right now.
Their rumoured blockbuster trade with the Boston Red Sox was completed on Saturday and new recruit Adrian Gonzalez made an instant impact by launching a three-run homer in his first Dodger at-bat later in the day.
The Dodgers went on to win their game against the Miami Marlins 8-2 and they will go for the three-game series sweep today. The BBC's coverage begins at 21.00 and Nat Coombs and Josh Chetwynd will have plenty to discuss on top of the in-game action.
Los Angeles currently trail the San Francisco Giants by two games in the NL West and if the Dodgers can get the brooms out then that gap will close to 1.5 games before the Giants face the Atlanta Braves in the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game. The Giants won the first two games of the four-game series before Jason Heyward's three-run shot off Madison Bumgarner helped the Braves claw back one game yesterday.
Two Tims – Hudson and Lincecum – will take to the mound in the series finale.
All times are in BST.
18.05. NY Yankees at Cleveland (Garcia – Jimenez)
18.05. LA Angels at Detroit (Santana – Scherzer)
18.10. St. Louis at Cincinnati (Wainwright – Bailey)
18.10. Houston at NY Mets (Harrell – Hefner)
18.35. Toronto at Baltimore (Alvarez – Tillman)
18.35. Kansas City at Boston (Smith – Doubront)
18.35. Washington at Philadelphia (Zimmermann – Lee)
18.35. Milwaukee at Pittsburgh (Rogers – Bedard)
19.10. Seattle at Chicago White Sox (Millwood – Floyd)
19.20. Colorado at Chicago Cubs (Chacin – Volstad)
20.05. Minnesota at Texas (De Vries – Feldman)
21.10. Miami at LA Dodgers (Buehrle – Harang) *BBC 5 Live Sports Extra
21.10. San Diego at Arizona (Volquez – Saunders)
01.00. Atlanta at San Francisco (Hudson – Lincecum) *ESPN America
Elsewhere, the Detroit Tigers rallied from a 3-0 deficit to even up their series with the Los Angeles Angels yesterday. The much-improved Ervin Santana will look to continue his recent upturn in form against Max Scherzer and the Tigers today. Detroit need a win to remain close to the Chicago White Sox – who have won five in a row – in the AL Central and both the Tigers and Angels will want to tale advantage of fellow Wild Card hunters the Oakland A's and Tampa Bay Rays having a very rare Sunday off.
There's also an excellent game in prospect at the Great American Ballpark. The St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds have shared the first two games of their series and the finale should be well worth watching with Adam Wainwright being in scintillating form for the Cards.
All of these games are available to watch live via the MLB.TV subscription at MLB.com. BBC 5 Live Sports Extra can be found on digital radio, digital TV and on the BBC.co.uk website (coverage on the website is only available to UK residents).

In a recent post, I talked about my client, Dale, who is in the craft business. We were on the discussion about his artist bio, and Dale told shared with me his apprehension about talking about himself sound self-important. My suggestion was to him was to focus on marketing himself and less on making himself sound important. Dale thought if he had some business cards and a website that would be enough. That somehow, Dale's artwork would speak for itself.
Dale did not understand the Catch-22 nature of Internet marketing. I put it to Dale simply, "How do you expect people to find your artwork, if you don't talk about it?" Dale said, "Well, I'll just put my artwork on my website." I asked, "How will people find your website?" Dale said, "Won't they just Google me?" I asked, "How will they know to Google you if they don't know you're name? How will they Google you if you haven't done any marketing?" Dale said, "Oh, yeah." Now he got it.
Marketing is difficult for many artists because they are used to speaking through their art rather than through advertisements and artists blubs. You mention marketing, and it is as if they go into a childhood state where they become the shy art kid in high school. It is as if the mere mention of talking about themselves brings memories of being mocked at an early age for their creativity.
There are three main blurbs that every artist should have ready at all times, and especially on their website:
Elevator Pitch: This is a quick blurb that tells anyone you run into what you do for a living, what you sell, and who your target audience is. It should preferably be in one sentence, and possibly within 25 words or less.
Artist Bio: This tells the story of what you do, and why you do it. It should be very short, and is usually about one paragraph. Most importantly, it should tell a story.
Mission Statement: Yes, even an artist should have a mission statement. Although it's not always necessary to publish your mission statement, it's important to know why it is you have chosen the creative field you are in, and what your intentions are with your creative abilities. A mission statement helps you stay focused, and on track with your goals. For a primer on mission statements, I'd recommend the Stephen R. Covey's timeless classic, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People."
Framed this way, Dale learned that marketing himself is not about saying what a great artist he is. Dale learned that marketing himself is simply about sharing his vision, his values, and his story.

New TMNT Show
I've been meaning to draw a ninja turtle in the style of the new show for a few weeks now, and finally got around to it today.
I upgraded my art machine to Ubuntu 12.10 yesterday so I could easily get the new Gimp 2.8 loaded. I really like the grouping of layers, couldn't care less about the "single window mode" everyone seems to be in love with (why would anyone want it to be more like photo shop?), and am a little frustrated that a few of the quick key combos I'm used to don't quite work the same. I'll get used to it though.
I also dumped Unity for xubuntu since my machine is old and I didn't waste any resources to needless fancy junk.
How-to: Colorize Lines with Video
As promised, I finally got around to making a video of the colorizing process I mentioned a few posts ago. I choose to doodle Donatello from the TMNT since it would be quick to draw with a very simple color palette and the new show is starting this month. Enjoy!

Cayetano cites 'golden era' in relations with China
Beijing, China Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano reaffirmed Philippines' support for China under the administration of President Rodrigo R. Duterte, citing a golden era of relationship between the two countries.
In an expanded bilateral meeting with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Cayetano said the Philippines and China are in the golden era of relations in pursuing advance cooperations, adding that both countries are ready for challenges resulting to positive ties.
Our relationship which is in golden period and positive relations, are now ready to face challenges together. The Philippines and China are proceeding on the principles of mutual trust, respect and sovereign equality, Cayetano said.
For his part, Wang vowed to enhance maritime dialogue and pursue equal footed and friendly consultation, in a prudent and steady way in order to advance cooperation on offshore oil and gas exploration.
Wang said since 2016, the high level exchanges and political mutual trust have resulted to a high volume of trades between the two countries.
Last year, two way trade surpassed to USD50 billion. China is recently the largest trading partner of the Philippines and our investment (in the Philippines) has enjoyed a 67% growth for the year, Wang added.
The bilateral trade reached USD51.2 billion last year, with a year-on-year increase of 8.5 percent.
In the tourism sector, Cayetano said China has become the Philippines' second largest source of foreign visitors, with close to one million trips made last year.
We likewise thank China for their contribution to the tourism industry with 1 million tourists visiting the Philippines in the last year. We also appreciate China's assistance to our agriculture sector by increasing imports of Philippine tropical fruits and other agricultural products, he said.
Cayetano also announced the attendance of Duterte to the upcoming BOAO Forum next month in Hainan Province, China.
He (Duterte) will participate in this non-government, non-profit international organization which will bring together government, business and academic leaders in Asia and other continents to share opinions on pressing issues in the region and the world, Cayetano said.
Cayetano has personally handed over the congratulatory letter of Duterte to Chinese President Xi Jin Ping, after the latter was re-elected as China's president.
He said the Philippines is willing to work with China to advance cooperation including security and in-depth development of bilateral ties.
I hand carried a letter from President Rodrigo Roa Duterte congratulating President Xi on his re-election and re-affirming that the Philippines and China should continue working together with all stakeholders in advancing security, stability and prosperity, Cayetano said.
Cayetano also mentioned that China and the Philippines are continuously working on the maritime sphere despite their differences.
While we have do have differences, we are also pursuing cooperation in the maritime sphere. Through positive developments and our continued unwavering commitment to the DOC we look forward to the start of substantive negotiations on the COC, he added.
Cayetano, expressed high hopes on the results of the two countries' discussions, saying he is looking forward to the continued development of Philippine-Chinese relations.
Cayetano was the first foreign chief to visit China after "two sessions" the annual meetings of the national legislature and the top political advisory body in China.

Leadership Mosaic by Daniel Montgomery, Free for CAPC Members
Leadership Mosaic will remind you to evaluate your heart, your motives, and your relationship with God as it pertains to a role of responsibility.
I leaned against the windowpane, the road rushing past below me. Never had I been within 1,000 miles of New Orleans. Yet here I was, riding in a shuttle to a conference in the French Quarter. It was a breezy March morning – the thick haze of summer heat still months away. As the shuttle hastened toward the hotel, I noticed a plethora of advertisements for everything from sports to gambling to, well, whatever. Plenty to buy, plenty to see I was told.
Upon arriving I left my bags at the hotel and began to walk around the city. The Big Easy is old; and French. These statements are truer as matters of custom and architecture than anything else. With its age and feel comes much beauty. Apartments and shops in the centuries-old French style line the streets. There is a symmetry and diversity in these structures, at once avoiding the conformity of corporate chains and still maintaining a pleasant unity. The shops include numerous places where music and art can be viewed and, if you have the cash, purchased. A relaxed feel also permeates the place; no one seems in too much of a hurry. People seem to know New Orleans is beautiful take the time to enjoy it.
The next morning I attended the conference's first panel. The panel's discussion concerned the future of the free market in the 21st Century. Most of the arguments were fairly standard defenses of capitalism-with plenty of shots taken at bail-outs and stimulus packages. One professor, however, argued differently. He called for a review of how those assessing economic systems evaluate their usefulness.
Humans first must be understood, for systems were made for man, not man for economic systems. He continued that men were made in the image of God. This truth showcased the individual and social nature of a humanity made in the image of the Trinity. Men were individuals, yes. However, their individuality was inseparable from their sociality – as members of families, communities, and nations. Further, men are sinful, prone in a definitive way to selfishness. Once these ideas were grasped, then an economic system could be evaluated for how it contributed to the advancement of man and his community as a whole-mind, body, and soul. His conclusion: if Capitalism does not truly further the common good, including the moral and spiritual, then we must do away with Capitalism.
This last claim caused a stir that refused to settle. Discussions throughout the day either supported or decried the statement. Regardless of how one came down on the issue, the panel remained a topic of passionate debate.
That evening I went with a few other students and professors to have dinner. After several courses of delicious Cajun food and a few hours of lively discussion, we made our way back toward the hotel. Yet in those few hours the city had changed. The art, the culture, the beauty-it had for the most part rescinded, the darkness covering it like a curtain. Unveiled was a much different place: bars with multitudes of staggering patrons; men shouting from balconies to scantily-clad women below. On one street alone, I counted at least three establishments owned by Larry Flynt. In the midst of this mess, one professor turned to me, saying "This is certainly a different view of human nature."
It was then that I realized. I was not looking at two different cities, one of beauty and culture, the other of hedonistic decadence. While the two stood largely divided, one ruling the day and the other governing the night, both stemmed from a free market system that allows humans to sell and purchase mostly whatever they desire. In doing so very disparate desires found themselves fulfilled. The free market's liberation of humanity from most moral or economic constraints led to great beauty and great filth. Sculptures of martyrs and the Cross as well as strip clubs.
This conclusion led me to a greater appreciation for the argument I had heard earlier in the day. We must know humans before we know economics. When we do, we realize economic systems can never be perfect. Their imperfection rests most definitively in the fact that they involve human beings. Capitalism is no different in this regard. It possesses an amazing capacity for creating wealth that transcends ethnic, social, or economic class. It further regulates the efficiency of an economy in the most efficient way that retains the freedom of buyer and seller. This freedom can often be used to support wonderful works of beauty and amazing acts of charity.
However, recent troubles and late night trips to the Big Easy show us that such a system can breed greed and decadence. Freedom can give way to license, ordered liberty to hedonism.
What, then, is the Christian to do with economic systems like the free market? Christians should seek the most God-honoring and just economic system, understanding that any system plays to certain strengths and weaknesses in human nature. At the same time, the Believer should pursue justice in whatever economy they find themselves. In ours, it means tempering our natural tendency to selfish greed with the charity and self-giving love modeled by Christ. In doing so, we will be heeding the advice I heard about the relationship between man and money. Yet even more, we will be heeding the demands that stream from the Gospel: a loved people seeking to mimic that love in the world.
I'm sorry it took me so many days to read this. Fantastic post. Thank you so much for exploring the the human side to capitalism.
What was the professor's name who put forth the question about the ability of economic systems to lead to human flourishing?
After reading some Marxist and post-modernist criticisms of "late-capitalism," I've become increasingly convinced that capitalism has lead to some profoundly serious problems in our society and particularly in the Church. While I don't agree with most of the assumptions or solutions of Marxism, I do think that it would benefit believers to honestly consider some of their criticisms of modern society. It's far too easy to say, "Communism is bad, therefore Capitalism is good." And I think you've given us one concrete way to question how Christians can live within a capitalist society without accepting those aspects of the system which dishonor God. Well done.

I have an HP dv6 laptop with an an AMD Radeon 7690m XT dedicated Graphics card. The PC came with windows 7 but I recently upgraded to win 8.
I updated the drivers to the most recent Catalyst directly from AMD (HP simply does NOT provide graphic drivers for win 8), and the card seems to work fine, although it now reports as a Radeon HD 6700M series. That is OK since I read the Catalyst drivers just do that because the 7690m is just a custom version of a 6770 made by HP. that is not an issue.
The problem is that some games and windows itself seem to sometimes only "see" the integrated card (intel HD graphics 3000) instead of the dedicated GPU, for example, the direct X diagnostic tool, shows only the intel. The same when i see the properties of my display (in "advanced" under "display resolution" options.)
When i check device manager, i DO see both cards, also when I use GPU-Z, but why some applications seem to only see the intel one instead of the dedicated one?
I already changed an option in my BIOS and changed the "dynamic" setting, to "fixed", and that is supposed to make precisely what I want, that is, to make windows only see the dedicated card all the time, instead of switching cards depending in the application.
In fact, that option worked just fine under win 7, but now in win 8.
So, is there a way of making windows IGNORE the integrated card and just to care about the dedicated one? I tried disabling the intel card under device manager, but that only makes windows reporting a "microsoft basic display driver" under Direct X diag, instead of reporting the dedicated AMD card, which otherwise, the device manager reports working just ok (and with no driver issues).
Any ideas? Anyone has had this same probem under windows 8 with amd cards for laptops?

The question has to be asked. And asked often my friends. With all the tea parties that have happened all over the nation, since April 15th, it seems the media and the government, especially Obama himself, have ignored the pleadings and the demands of the people at large. Even when it is reported, it is reported like what is going on is just a small group of disgruntled wack jobs, or unpatriotic nuts, who are just trying to make a name for themselves.
So they are working a different angle now. Hitting the news media's where they live. Taking the tea parties out to in front of the buildings of the press itself….with the question….Can you hear US now?
There are even calls, to add to the list of news papers being listed on the tea party list, with the likes of the New York Times, the LA times and other major media sources.
From an article on FoxNews, it said this:
Groups of conservative protesters opposed to massive government spending are taking to the streets again, this time targeting the media.
The "Can You Hear Us Now" rallies are planned for Saturday in front of NBC studios in Burbank, CNN in Atlanta and affiliate stations of NBC, ABC and CBS across the nation.
"American citizens outraged by President Obama and the actions of Congress have set their sights on a new target — the so-called mainstream media — with tea-party protests now set to boil in front of more than 30 press offices across the U.S.," the lead organizing group, FaxDC, wrote in a press release.
Organizers are encouraging protesters to also rally outside of The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and other prominent newspapers.
The rallies are just the latest in a series of public displays of voter outrage, dating back at least to April, when simultaneous "tea parties" were held around the country, largely in protest of President Obama's $787 billion stimulus bill.
Anti-spending sentiment was heard in the uproar at town hall meetings held by lawmakers in August and in a march on Washington last month when the key issue was health care reform. Since then, the demonstrations have grown to include a broad range of grievances, while drawing accusations that they are grounded partly in racism and raising fears that they could incite violence — criticisms that protest leaders deny.
It is not clear who is leading Saturday's protests. A so-called "webmaster" who didn't identify himself, launched his Web site on Sept. 15. He urged protesters to spread word of the demonstrations through tea party groups, Facebook, Twitter, blogs and message boards.
"Some people messaged me and asked why not a more symbolic day," he said in a press release. "I say, why shouldn't we be the ones to make it a symbolic day, a day in history the press will never forget?"
The anonymous leader said he's not an activist, just one guy.
It seems that the media and the Obama administration are the two places that do not seem to get what is going on. They think that all we are, is unpatriotic, rabble rousing mobs, who are just trying to make trouble for Obama. Well, my take on this is, if Obama isn't doing good for this nation, then yes, we are trying to make trouble for Obama. He needs to be taken down about ten notches, until he realizes that he is not doing what the people want. And I know that isn't his interest, but it has to be.
As president, Obama is not there to push HIS agenda….he is there to represent the people of this great country. Not put them into the slavery of another huge and unnecessary tax burden.
But, Obama doesn't care about the people, or they're wishes. To him, he is only there to push the agenda that all liberals want. And that is Socialism, and total control. They want control of all of us, they want total control of everything that we use. Automobiles, electricity, gasoline, light bulbs, and probably even the air that we breath. Obama wants total control. And the internet is going to be next. He hates that it gives us so much freedom. The freedom to publish blogs like this one that can be seen by anyone, from all over the world. The liberal government doesn't like that. They do not like that we have the ability to put out videos like I do, and be able to publish them on the net and have them be seen by anyone in the world…..which takes the control away from them. So watch for the Obama government to try to take over the internet.
My friends, America is not the government. America is not Obama. America can survive without much of the government and without Obama, completely. He lies to the American public to make us think that things are horrible, when in fact they are not so bad. We have to start questioning everything the government does. We have to ask questions. We have to watch and be diligent to keep them honest in Washington DC, because right now my friends, they are among the most dishonest people in the world. Bar NONE. There are a few there that have they're heads on straight and have America's best interest at heart….but Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Durbin, Feinstein, Kerry, Schumer and others of like mind…..are the ones that have no interest in bettering America. We have to stop them…..and soon, if we want to save this great country.
God Bless America, her troops, and her people
God Bless my readers, my listeners on BTR and my viewers on You Tube……

California's HELION PRIME announce they will be venturing across the American Midwest from August 5th – 16th for "The Cybernetic Terror Tour" in support of their sci-fi power metal thriller "Terror Of The Cybernetic Space Monster" released last year via AFM Records.
Kicking off the tour in their hometown of Sacramento, CA, HELION PRIME will be joined by fellow power metallers NOVAREIGN on all show dates including the 3rd annualMad With Power Fest being hosted in Madison, WI on August 10th with Theocracy, Lords of The Trident, Judicator, and more.
The band comments:
"Helion Prime is thrilled to announce our "The Cybernetic Terror Tour" with special guest Novareign. We have been itchy to get back on the road and we felt a great time would be as we made our way to the Mad With Power Festival in Madison, WI. We are stoked to have our friends Novareign with us and it's no doubt going to be a great time. This tour is short, but we made the decision not to be on the road too much this year so we could put more focus into writing the third album. So we promise to come back around next year with a new album and many more dates!"
Helion Prime will once again be joined by Mary Zimmer (Luna Mortis/VoiceHacks). We know many have hoped to catch a show with Sozos, but those who saw us on the Unleash The Archers tour can confirm Mary does a wonderful job handling these songs."
"Terror Of The Cybernetic Space Monster" is Helion Prime's second album and revolves around sci-fi themes with sweeping solos and powerful vocals. The album was also mixed and mastered at LSD studio by Lasse Lammert (known for his work with bands like Alestorm and Gloryhammer). The American band is sure to impress fans of Unleash the Archers, Iron Maiden and Helloween.
"Terror Of The Cybernetic Space Monster" is available on iTunes, Spotify, AFM Records, and all other major retailers.

Helion Prime was born from the mind of Jason Ashcraft, who approached vocalist Heather Michele (appears only on the first album) and asked if she would be interested in doing a project with him. The two had been longtime friends, and at the time intended to do nothing more than release a few songs together for fun, as both had musical commitments elsewhere. Soon, however, the two realized they had something good and quickly decided to put out a full album. That album would become the now "Self Titled" release. The two first released the album independently and quickly re-released it through Divebomb records. The band quickly gained the attention of the German label AFM Records who approached them to ink a deal.
Shortly before being approached by AFM Records, Heather Michele left the band in order to focus on her commitments to her other band. So the band found themselves in a bind, being offered a record deal but having no singer. Thankfully, AFM Records believed in them enough to sign them regardless. The band released a single "Remnants of Stars" and did a short DIY tour they called "Saibot's Rampage Tour" with short term singer Kayla Dixon.
In 2017, the band held open auditions for a new singer – enter Sozos Michael. Many fans were thrown off by the band's choice bringing on a male vocalist for the up until now female fronted group. At the end of the day, it's really about who's right for the part and there is no doubt Sozos can deliver what Helion Prime needs. With the band feeling refreshed, and once again having a strong line up, Helion Prime quickly got to work with their sophomore effort, which was released via AFM Records on August 31, 2018.
The band is excited about the future and is already brainstorming the creative process for the third follow up. There is no slowing down for Helion Prime!

Unintended tone can have a huge impact on communication. Your body language and your voice can both influence it in a statement or question.The question is whether that tone is intentional or not.
The question is whether that tone is intentional or not.
Usually, my reaction to something would involve a statement or a question which, when stated or asked in a neutral tone would be totally ok.
Often, my reaction would not be neutral.
When I started inspecting this, I put my attention on being aware of my reaction to things. To say I was surprised by a few moments is an understatement.
An example –
I'm talking with a mate on the phone and he starts eating and chewing in my ear (one of my pet peeves). I say 'mate call me back when you're done eating' which by itself with a neutral tone would be ok. The way it comes out is with a tone of disgust that screams 'I can't believe you're bloody chewing in my ear! F*(king call me back!'
The unintended tone creates upsets.Read More
I know I've been there heaps of times. I've said something with an unintended tone in more situations than I care to remember. Every time it caused an upset.
This is a communication skill. Making a statement (or asking a question) with a neutral tone takes practice. It's even more difficult when you are in the heat of the moment.
I was asked to do an interview with Radio 5AA in Adelaide regarding communication skills being taught in school. We spoke about the unintended tone during the interview.
In my experience, this affects everyone. We can all easily fall prey to this.
Actions you can take:
One thing is to make a commitment to yourself to be aware of your reactions. Be an observer of yourself and your communication. You'll be amazed at what you observe that you may never have seen before.
Another action you can take:
I run a 2-day workshop called the Leadership Skills Accelerator. You will learn how the best leaders communicate and the fundamental skills are involved.
Because Communication as a skill is the number one influencer of success or failure in every area of life.

Project Info
Project Description
In 2003 Alibi Communications plc, was a small AIM-listed media group, which had been involved in TV drama production and feature film distribution, having spent the money it had raised at flotation in 1999.
William Harris merged a small licensing business into Alibi, assumed the role of Chairman, having been invited to do so by the previous incumbent, raised some finance and refocused the combined business on Intellectual property ownership targeted at a family audience. The company was subsequently renamed Coolabi.
Tim Hilton from Avonglen assumed the role of Finance Director. William then recruited a new Chief Executive, Jeremy Banks, who led a number of acquisitions and fundraisings for the company, before it was taken private in a management buyout backed by Edge Performance VCT in 2011.
Coolabi has recently launched a new Clangers TV Series which is being aired on CBeebies and Scream Street which is aired on CBBC.
William Harris remains a Non-Executive Director of Coolabi and Tim Ricketts, initially sourced through Avonglen has become full-time Finance Director.

With US outbound investment continuing to drive the European technology M&A market, London has emerged as a natural centre for businesses working at the intersection of finance and technology. As the private practice market wakes up to the potential of this new and expanding sector, competition is fierce for the City's few established 'fintech' partners. This FRS Thought Leadership piece explores the growing London legal fintech landscape, as well as what it takes to establish a practice in this area.
The State of London's Fintech Legal Market
Fintech is a complex sector, driven by technological innovation and a still-evolving regulatory landscape. Fintech developers seek to redefine the financial services industry by providing services more quickly, more cheaply and more efficiently than current market players. To do this, they rely on their legal advisers for an up-to-date understanding of both the technological and regulatory aspects of the market.
With fintech not yet included as a separate ranking in either the Legal 500 or Chambers & Partners, London's fintech private practice landscape remains relatively undefined. Firms active in this area have often opted to partner with organisations including the FinTech50 and various fintech accelerators in a bid to raise their profiles in this sector.
As London has emerged as an important hub for fintech, the City's law firms are finally recognising the opportunities abounding in this sector. In particular, the past twelve months have seen City firms with strong financial services and financial services regulatory practices identifying fintech as a natural area for growth. Fintech is now among the specialisms in which firms most frequently express an interest when it comes to lateral recruitment.
Yet, fintech teams are notably broad, relying on close cooperation between partners covering a range of specialisms from technology to venture capital to regulatory law.

Can you do two things at once? I can't. I am just not that smooth. I can't talk while I think. I can't juggle. I can't even walk and chew gum at the same time.
This affliction extends to my ability to speak smoothly off the cuff. The words never come out of my mouth the way they are arranged in my head unless I do some advanced planning.
I always admire people who can speak contemporaneously. My daughter specialized in Domestic Extemporaneous Speaking in High School Speech and Debate. She appeared to be able to argue about anything at a drop of the hat during a debate. But it was all a charade. She had boxes and boxes of research on various topics. She practiced speaking out loud for hours on those topics, taking different points of view, and testing which gestures and emphasis made the best impression. Not spontaneous or extemporaneous at all. But she sure sounded great during a debate!
Joan Rivers is my favorite comedian these days. I love her reality TV show, "Joan Knows Best" because we get to watch her work. She has a file cabinet filled with jokes on index cards. She picks specific jokes for specific situations in a specific order then practices till she gets the nuance right. It all sounds so spontaneous. But it is not.
That is what I need to do. When I prepare for an interview or for a speaking engagement or even for an important telephone conversation with a potential client, I write down what I want to say. What is the point I am trying to make? How can I make that point smoothly and succinctly without blathering all over about nonsense? Without the words tumbling out of my mouth in no particular order at all while my mind moves at 100mph.
An interview is a scripted, strategic event. You have a point to make. You want the interviewer to know and see certain aspects of yourself. How can you or anyone go into an interview cold and be confident that what comes out of your mouth makes the points you want to make spontaneously? It won't happen without preparation.
Here are some tips for advanced planning an interview:
- Consider what you are likely to be asked. Know the main objectives and responsibilities for the job. What questions could be asked to ascertain whether you can do that job? What are the most frequently asked questions?
- Prepare responses to those questions. In writing. In detail.
- Edit your potential responses until the words sound good and support your strategic goals.
- Now you rehearse. Say your responses out loud until the words come out smoothly. No stammering. No stuttering. You have to sound like you believe what you are saying. If you don't believe it then why will anyone else!
- Adjust your proposed responses in writing until the words flow smoothly out of your mouth.
- Have someone quiz you. Just like preparing for that spelling test in third grade, it really helps when a real person asks you a question and you give your prepared response. Then get feedback. How did it sound? Did you sound believable and confident? If not, keep working until it does.
Just like a world famous comedian, you can sound confident and smooth by preparing your responses ahead of time and practicing. Practice, practice, practice until it appears that you can talk and think at the same time!

Metaphors of happiness
Are nothing but letters
Written on the life scenario sheets.
My pages are full of smudges and blurs.
You keep on throwing
Your recited smiles at me,
Choking me in images of your radiating grin.
Wordy gusts catch me at my back
When I'm trying to escape
Your ever-so-nice face.
I can see your eyes shine
At the sight of my sadness.
Time will come,
And you will stop smiling.
Eyes will turn into dull crystals,
Mouth will no longer show the revolting grin
Of the staged niceness.

No, I mean something like...
ThreadLocal<Context> localContext = new ThreadLocal<Context>();
static Context global;
void f() {
global = localContext.get(); // leaks per-thread into static
Which hopefully no one ever does. However,
if this were strictly illegal, there is a chance
that underlying GC and other JVM support could be made
noticeably faster, knowing that thread-locals never escape
their threads.

This is not clear. We have many years of experience with the present implementation. If we had as many years experience with the previous implementation, we'd likely find the problem equally prevalent. That said, the previous implementation wasn't even a contender. It turns thread-local accesses into concurrency hot spots! That defeats the whole purpose of the facility. The 1.2 implementation really was a stopgap. It's sole advantage was that I could write it without modifying the Thread implementation. As soon as I had time to replace it with a plausible implementation, I did. And Doug further improved on that implementation, resulting in a mechanism where a thread-local access requires only a handful of machine instructions. That is as it should be.
From the proposed solution "make a brand new thread pool when any webapp is reloaded" I assumed that it was the web app framework that was at fault, and I assumed that the framework was part of Tomcat. I have no familiarity with this stack. At any rate, the fault lies with whomever is creating the thread pool. If you provide a thread pool, you'd better make clear your expectations regarding thread locals. If you have any doubts as to your users' abilities to abide by those expectations, you'd better replace the thread pool at appropriate times. As I said previously, you can't draw threads from a pool and expect them to be functionally equivalent to new threads. It just doesn't work that way. A thread pool is a compromise: you save the cost of thread creation, and wind up with dirty threads.
And also, what you and others actually state is that to use ThreadLocals
This really has little to do with thread locals. If you have any resource that goes away when you exit a scope, you have to clean up when you exit that scope, and that's what try-finally blocks are for. You have to use them to close files, too, or you'll leak file descriptors and your program may crash. Thread locals are a red herring.
Simply given that Servlets are a very common usage of Java, and that
I think you're admitting that this is Tomcat's problem.
Yes, I skimmed them. I think Tom is wrong. Doug concurs, and I trust Doug in these matters.
Why don't you at least sit down, check this through, and give a critique
Doug has already done that, and he's more qualified to do it than I am. But do note that we are sympathetic to this issue, even though we see it as an abuse of thread locals and thread pools. If it is possible to rectify the problem without harming the performance of well behaved applications, I strongly suspect that we'll do it (where "we" probably amounts to "Doug").

If I understand correctly from skimming this thread, the "leak"
problem described for the current ThreadLocal implementation is a
variant of the general limitation underlying these RFEs:
which I believe could be solved with a java.lang.ref enhancement more
or less along these lines:
I have longed for such a solution to this general limitation countless
times, not when using thread locals but for a variety of data
structures involving reference objects-- but the above RFEs have not
appeared to accumulate much interest, at least judging by SDN votes
and comments (lack thereof). Adding any additional complexity to such
a fundamental VM/GC interface cannot be undertaken lightly of course,
but it would be delightful if the apparent interest in this
ThreadLocal case led to a more general solution.

I just came across
It looks like keeping request context in threadlocals is fairly common practice. GWT and Axis framework are using it.
In the "Context Object" pattern by Douglas Schmidt, passing context implicitly using thread local storage is mentioned as one of the arternatives.(http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/PDF/Context-Object-Pattern.pdf)
For a person coming from this background or refering to these resources, it is very obvious to use Context Object pattern and keep it in thread local storage for propogating it across logical layers on the code.
Following is the code that I think very reasonable and helpful,
The example code might be like
RequestContextHolder {
private static ThreadLocal threadLocal = new ThreadLocal();
public static Map get() {
return (Map)threadLocal.get();
public static void set(Map context) {
public static void clearContext() {
class FrontController {
public void handleReqeuest(HttpRequst request.....) {
Map requestContext = buildRequestContext(request);
Response response = handleRequest(request);

You should remove the thread local in a finally block. See http://crazybob.org/2006/07/hard-core-java-threadlocal.html for examples.

Yes I should be using try-finally. Also, if I am using JDK1.4.2, where there is no remove method on threadlocal, threadloca.set(null), should also be Ok right?
Also, When I am not keeping value as object of any class in my web module (Keeping java.util.Map and only objects of string or other java.lang type in there), there is also no danger of having any memory leak on reload.

Hi, I am just a developer and not really good at concurrency handling.
The application I currently working on stored all preparedstatement in
a hashmap in order to maximum performance according to
In order to prevent concurrency issue, we use threadlocal to hold that
map. I am not sure it is a proper usecase for threadlocal. However the
application probably don't hurt by memory problem because it run at a
very powerful machine and will restart everyday and there is not class
The question I like to ask is, recently a developer like to using
custom thread scope in spring according to this
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SPR-2581 , I
think this is smart move, but I still like to gather more comment
about using spring thread scope as this link mentioned. Because we
have other place copying similar pattern but not yet move to use
spring, just wonder should we do so.

Do you use a connection pool? From my experience, most connection pools already cache prepared statements for you (as they should). I also thought prepared statements could be tied to a given connection, in which case you would want to make the cache per connection, not per thread.

If I am not going to have more than one Thread handling
a particular Request, or a particular Session, or a
particular Connection, etc, I usually just associate
the object with the Request, Session, Connection, etc,
rather than doing something with ThreadLocal, which to
me seems like a relatively arcane approach (or at least
couples me more to the implementation than I would like).

Playing devil's advocate, I think you "can" ditch all thread locals
(and hence all the transitive references) of a thread - via
reflection. Ugly but may work, if the security permits. :)
Hanson Char
public static void ditchThreadLocals() throws Exception
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
String[] fnames = { "threadLocals", "inheritableThreadLocals" };

2019-05-03 12:00:38
very nice
2018-12-19 08:53:55
item as per description, great deal
2018-08-04 02:36:27
Finally, after months of useless correspondence and inattention to my problem of having been sent the wrong Item (which did more to increase my frustration and anger whilst degrading the Customer Service Department), unlike his predecessor, one fine and exemplary person decided to take a simple decision and find the very straightforward easiest fix to their mistake. I am now satisfied but the bad experience will take time to be erased and for me to find the blind trust I have always had for Banggood
2018-06-05 05:56:05
This is the second unit I purchased for a Double Bowl single Drainer Kitchen Sink. The first was bought two months ago as a sample after that Banggood staff were unable to satisfy a pre-order enquiry for clarification of dimensions. This unit is NOT as described and shown on the site. I checked the Product ID: 926084 both before I made the second purchase and now that I have received it. Both products are the same. My major concern is the site gives an overall length of 90mm - This is incorrect

Rastafari and Reggae Designs in T-Shirt printing
T-shirt printers often have symbolic prints on T-shirts. These symbols contain political and social images that may be relevant to a minority group, or may represent a counter-cultural movement such as the Rastafarian Movement.
According to Wikipedia, most Rastas do not call the "religion" but the "lifestyle". Monotheists, only one God loves what is called Jah. However, this God is not a blurred omnipotent being in heaven, but incarnated with Haile Selassie, the last Emperor of Ethiopia.
Rastafari is the Afrocentric ideologies and teachings. Its members support the spiritual use of cannabis or marijuana. It has a three-color flag – red, green and yellow – with a lion's silhouette in the center.
Bob Marley and Rastafari in printed T-shirts
The strong association of Rastafari and reggae is in part the nature of Bob Marley and a member of the movement. Bob Marley is one of the most popular Rastas in the world and his popularity has helped spread the influence of the Rastafarian Movement in the world.
Bob Marley's signature – his broad smile and dreadlocks – is one of the most popular printing t-shirts. Your face was printed in different versions, either as a pencil or as a photo. The prints show Bob Marley's various poses while singing on the stage or his head with a retiring worry-free laughter.
Bob Marley sang most of Rastafarian songs. In addition to Marley, other reggae musicians also used music to distribute Rastafari's teachings. Musicians such as Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer integrate the Rastafarian doctrine into their songs.
Red, green and gold on Rastafari T-shirt printing
The Rastafari colors are green, red and gold, with the same color tones on the flag. The middle of the flag boasts a silhouette of a roaring lion, while the horizontal stripes of the three colors are in the background.
Sometimes the three colors are used as backgrounds or are located at the top of Bob Marley's picture. In the outline of Marley's face, the same three colors were mixed with the dark lines. Other times, Bob Marley's song lyrics have access to the picture.
Red signs the blood of the black Jamaican martyr, green is the laziness of Ethiopian or Jamaican landscapes, and gold represents Africa's richness. Sometimes black refers to the movement of Marcus Garvey.
The Reggae and the Rasta movement are a rich source of artistic inspiration for T-shirt printers. Symbols from these movements affect the rebellious spirit of the rebellious knight of the seventies and continue to feed the same feelings in today's generation. This type of designed, unique printed t-shirt speaks the messages you want to listen to.
