In my last blog posting, How should we think of Transactions ? I mentioned Volatile transactions and how I currently think they can be perceived in different ways! Do they have ACID, ACId or ACI properties?
In case you do not know what Volatile Transactions (aka In-Memory Transactions) are, they are transactions that do not persist to a durable store such as a hard disk (ouch! we have multiple definitions of durable to content with ). They are transactions that are done completely in memory and do not incur the I/O cost of writing to a hard disk a Transaction log or the actual known data/state.
What is interesting about Volatile transactions is that they are sometimes perceived as not being Transactional, because they are viewed as not meeting the ACID properties, especially the "D" property. I suspect the main reason for this view is because there are no Transaction logs and/or no data stored to hard disk.
So when you look at a typical definition of the ACID properties (like what I have listed below), some of the reasons why this view maybe held become apparent:
(NB. this is an amalgamation/synopsis of many definitions I have seen)
A - Atomicity - Transactions are atomic (all or nothing)
C - Consistency - The transaction is a correct transformation of state. Consistency constraints that are defined on the underlying data servers are preserved by a transaction.
I - Isolation - Each transaction should appear to execute independently of other transactions that may be executing concurrently in the same environment.
D - Durability - Once a transaction commits, it's updates survive even, if the system goes down
ok, so a Volatile Transaction meets the ACI of the ACID properties, but not the D as defined above. But is this ("Once a transaction commits, it's updates survive even, if the system goes down") a true reflection of what Durability means? Many similar variants of this definition gets used on a frequent based and they bring specifics to the definiton that are not about the failure of meeting the ACI properties or making the "Commited" value available/public but focus on the failure of media or a system. In my opinion the failure of media or a system is not an aspect of the paradigm or indeed part of the ACID properties, but an aspect of how the paradigm can be implemented and/or a requirement of the longevity of the state being persisted/determined. It is perhaps the fact that the best known implementation of the data server feature of the transactional paradigm is a database that has led us to shape the ACID properties to the specifics of databases. But perhaps the Transactional paradigm has more to offer than the correctness of data/state transformations on a database. The transaction paradigm has a core focus on simpilifing how we can achieve the correctness of data/state transformations where we may have to deal with concurrency management and recovery control and this can be applied to any transformation of state.
Perhaps a different way to look at the durability of ACID is where the definition of ACID as an acronym came from and how some of the leading experts in the industry define them. As far as I know the ACID acronym was first coined by Haerder and Reuter (1983). The definition I like to use is that by Gray and Reuter (1993). It is the following:
A - Atomicity - A transaction's changes to state are atomic: either all happens or none happen. These changes include database changes, messages, and all actions on transducers.
C - Consistency - A transaction is a correct transformation of the state. The actions taken as a group do not violate any of the integrity constraints associated with the state. This requires that the transaction be a correct program.
I - Isolation - Even though transactions execute concurrently, it appears to each transaction, T, that others executed either before T or after T, but not both
D - Durability - Once a transaction completes successfully (commits), its changes to the state survive failures.
When you read this definition of Durability (and the ACID properties overall), it in my option explains the feature richness of transactions and how it can be applied to the persistence of the transformation of state and also how it applies to the other properties such as A, C and I. The state survives failures by the data server ensuring that when the transaction commits a new durable state is persisted/stable/available/public and if something goes wrong (such as not be able to ensure Consistency) that the data server returns to the previous known state. In essence, this is a contract that guarantees the persistence and stability of the state and that the outcome of a transaction is known/public and usable in subsequent transactions, as a known/correct state. A good definition I have seen is that once a transaction is committed, it cannot be abrogated.
With Durability being about the persistence, stability and making public of "commited"/known state as we transform from one known/correct state to another, it allows us to leverage the transaction paradigm in many scenarios. For example when using Volatile Transactions, we are leveraging data servers that store data on Volatile media, such as RAM and providing the transaction paradigm in-memory. With the common misunderstanding that Transactions are exclusively for databases, the question arises about the "D" property.
For me the Durability aspect of a transaction is present in a Volatile transaction. The question is whether its "D" or "d". Since most transactions are based on the X/Open Transaction processing model, the requirement for log managers or lock managers in resource managers (data servers) are not central or core to implementing the transactional paradigm at a base level. In relation to the usage of Volatile media for Transactions? in my opinion the requirement of the media used by the data server is that it is able to present a stable/persistent/public state once "Commit" has occured. So I believe that Volatile Transactions meet all of the ACID properties and that its ACID with a "D"
So I believe that Volatile Transactions meet all of the ACID properties and that its ACID with a "D"
phew! long post.
I guess the crux of the issue is the 2 uses of "durable" when talking about Transactions. One is the "D" in the ACID properties and the other is the property of the data/state/media being used (and how it is stored). The "D" in the ACID properties is more about making a "commited" value available and the other is about an implementation requirement of how long (and/or resilient) a known/committed state must be.

The Independent-Mail, Nathan Gray) THE GREENVILLE NEWS OUT, SENECA NEWS OUT, Associated Press
BEAUFORT, S.C. — In an up-and-down campaign day, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich picked up an endorsement Thursday from former rival Rick Perry but also faced explosive accusations from one of his former wives the he had asked her for permission to have an "open marriage" after she learned he was having an affair.
The former House speaker disputed his ex-wife's account, with spokesman R.C. Hammond telling The Associated Press: "It couldn't be any more opposite of the truth."
Gingrich also prepared to release his 2010 income tax returns, a move certain to bring fresh scrutiny to his campaign, roughly a half hour before he would take the stage in Charleston to debate his remaining rivals.
Two days before the pivotal South Carolina primary, Gingrich's political and private life were clashing just as new polls showed him rising as he looks to overtake GOP front-runner Mitt Romney in the third state to weigh in on the presidential race. Gingrich has seen his crowds grow in recent days after a strong performance in a debate Monday.
It was unclear how the new revelations from Marianne Gingrich would play in a state where religious and socially conservative voters hold sway.
Equally uncertain was whether Gingrich would get a boost from Perry's endorsement, given that the Texas governor had little support in the state, and get conservative voters to coalesce behind his candidacy. Complicating Gingrich's effort is another conservative, Rick Santorum, who threatens to siphon his support.
"Newt is not perfect but who among us is," Perry said as he bowed out of the race and called Gingrich a "conservative visionary."
It was all but certainly intended to provide political cover for Gingrich with evangelicals here ahead of the interview with Marianne Gingrich, her first on television since the divorce from Gingrich in 2000, that ABC News was set to broadcast Thursday night.
In excerpts the network released earlier in the day, Marianne Gingrich said that when she learned of Gingrich's affair with Callista Bisek, a congressional staffer, he asked his wife to share him.
"And I just stared at him and he said, 'Callista doesn't care what I do,'" Gingrich' second wife said. "He wanted an open marriage and I refused."
Hours after the excerpts were released, Gingrich brushed aside reporters' questions after a campaign event along the waterfront in Beaufort, S.C.
"Look, I'm not going to say anything about Marianne. My two daughters have already written to ABC complaining about this as tawdry and inappropriate," he said, referring all queries about his second marriage to his two daughters from his first marriage, Kathy Lubbers and Jackie Cushman.
"I'm not getting involved," said Gingrich, who has said the past that tough questions are fair game for a candidate running for president.
Later in the day, Hammond told the AP that Gingrich never asked Marianne Gingrich for an "open marriage" and suggested, like Gingrich's daughters did a day earlier, that Marianne Gingrich's comments may be suspect given the emotional toll divorce takes on everyone involved.
"Divorces are very tough and people have very different recollections of how things happen," Hammond said.
The television interview with Marianne Gingrich threw a wild card into the race in its final hours.
Its mere existence shines a spotlight on a part of Gingrich's past that could turn off Republican voters in a state filled with religious and cultural conservatives who may cringe at his two divorces and acknowledged marital infidelities.

A large industrial block has no power and is closed to
traffic after six power poles fell like dominoes in a Hawkes
Bay suburb this morning.
Emergency services descended on Omahu Rd, Hastings, by the
Hawkes Bay Expressway, about 9.30am after the poles fell.
There were no injuries and the poles did not cause damage to
property when they fell, a Hawkes Bay Today journalist
at the scene reported.
However, the whole block in the busy industrial area was
without power, and it was thought it may not be restored
until tomorrow.
Businesses were talking of shutting down for the day.
Initial reports of a truck hitting one of the poles was
Police, Unison, Hastings District Council and the fire
department were at the scene.
Cordons were in place to divert traffic, and were likely to
be in place for much of the day.

Toyota is getting ready for the Tokyo Motor Show later this month, and to tease us, the Japanese automaker has released photos and information about the concept vehicles it'll be bringing to the show. In all, there'll be four world premieres from Toyota (five if you split the Voxy and Noah minivan concepts), including some vehicles that'll be released in the near future, and others that need more time to incubate.

Toyota has undeniably carved out a niche for itself as the industry's leader in hybrid propulsion. What started out with the original Prius in 1997 has, over the past sixteen years, ballooned to what Toyota reports as a global hybrid portfolio of 23 models. But few (if any of them) are particularly exciting.

Details are decidedly scarce – which, judging by the company in question, is surely by design – but Toyota has announced that it will be unveiling a new compact concept car at the 10th Auto Expo automobile show in New Delhi on January 5. And ... that's about all we have on the subject. See, we told you details were slim. Expect the machine, which is likely bound for production in emerging markets only, to slot below the Yaris in size and price.

Total War: Shogun 2 – DirectX 11
Shogun 2 was released last week and features an enhanced version of the Total War engine which uses DirectCompute for depth of field, contact hardening shadows (higher quality) and hardware tessellation.
Testing was performed at 1680×1050 with no anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering and maximum in game settings.
When we tested Shogun earlier today, as the results above show, the 267.71 driver gave us less than ideal performance from our GTX 590. That seems to have been resolved in 267.84 though as the framerates increase significantly, to a stage where we exceed our dual 6990's on minimum and maximum framerates.
Here is an example of how the game looks at our tested settings.

Broad surface high pressure will linger over the Southeast, before sliding offshore as a surface low develops and moves northeast across the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. A surface front will remain off to our north and linger within a region between the Ohio Valley, lower Great Lakes, and Mid-Atlantic regions.

The overnight will see gradual moist adv from the SW due to a subtrop disturbance being lifted north toward the TN valley. Most of the heavy precip will be aligned south and west of the FA...but the NC mtn spine counties shud see enhanced -shra/tstm activity lingering through daybreak. Some isol activity is also possible across the nrn fthills and nc piedmont with the llvl bndry remaining fairly stationary. The fcst for Thu is a bit tricky compared to the previous few days as mid and upper level forcing will increase somewhat as a broad h5 trof moves across the lower Midwest and an h85 low associated with the aforementioned ST disturbance continues to advance closer to the wrn zones. This will increase llvl shear values to arnd 25kts or so during the afternoon...and along with modest SBCAPE values...some storms could become loosely organized and produce relatively long lived cold pools...esp across the wrn zones. This would produce more of a straight line wind threat as opposed to the localized microburst activity seen lately. Max temps will be a couple degrees cooler tomorrow and shud preclude another heat adv issuance based on similar Td/s across the area. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 200 PM EDT Wednesday: At the start of the period, subtropical ridging will remain in place over the Southeast and portions of the Western Atlantic, with upper trough extending down the Mississippi Valley. The initial shortwave will lift northeast on Friday as mean troughiness continues across the east, with a secondary shortwave pushes out of the Plains for the latter half of the period. With the general southwest flow aloft over the Southern Appalachians, plume of tropical moisture that moved onshore over the Lower Mississippi yesterday will stretch northeast up the Ohio Valley, over the upper ridge. Attendant surface front will slowly work its way toward the Appalachians but with a continued lee trough across the NC foothills/Piedmont serving as a focusing mechanism for afternoon convective development. The secondary wave and slug of moisture pushes across the Tennessee Valley Saturday as the mean trough slowly pushes east. Fairly good agreement in synoptic fields on the operational models, but as usual some differences in details and sensible weather impacts, with the GFS remaining slightly wetter than the ECMWF. Overall, best deep-layer moisture will remain to our west with the front but with the addition of synoptic lift from the broadening wave, should see a slightly higher than climo trend to pops through the short term. Instability looks fairly typical of summer, with mixing across the Piedmont contributing to slightly lower CAPE values than those across the mountains. Low-level lapse rates will continue to support an isolated wet microburst or two, with daytime high temperatures hovering just slightly above normal, and overnight lows about a category above. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 230 PM EDT Wednesday: Aforementioned slug of moisture associated with secondary shortwave will push across the Southern Appalachians at the start of the extended period, with the longwave trough axis continuing to slowly move east and centered over our area around the start of the work week. Upper ridge strengthening across the Plains will ridge northeast as the the trough becomes increasingly positively-tilted, remaining stalled over the area generally through the period. Corresponding surface trough will enhance (or possibly itself be enhanced by...chicken-or-egg thing here) the lee trough that has been in place the past couple of days. This will keep a higher-than-climo diurnal trend in convection across the region, with continued support of isolated to widely scattered strong to severe storms in the form of wet microbursts. Temperatures trend more toward climo with expected increases in cloud cover and convection, but will continue to see some variation each day. Because the GFS is showing it approaching the NC coast very late in the period, will note that invest of a disturbance off the coast of Africa has been given a 40% chance of tropical cyclone formation through 5 days. Model solutions vary *widely* as this pushes WNW toward the Leeward/Windward Islands - this is way too far out to make any prognostications at this time! && .AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... At KCLT and Elsewhere: Another day of afternoon convec prompting TEMPO tstms across all sites except KAND. Prominant bndry just north of the KHKY will keep cloud cover and precip activity lingering through the overnight...while increasing shear and moist adv across the mtns will keep a prob30 mention at KAVL through the early morning. KAVL could see some morning FG...but likely less dense than this morning due to increased sfc winds. Moderate gusty conds will develop toward the end of the TAF period across most locales...especially the Upstate and NC Piedmont. Outlook: A plume of deep moisture will gradually build across the western Carolinas and NE GA through the late week. SCT SHRA and TSRA will be possible each afternoon and evening, coverage the greatest across the mtns. Pre dawn fog and low clouds will be possible over areas of recent rainfall.

THIBODAUX — Nicholls State University will recognize the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America this evening with a series of scouting-related events.
The public is invited to attend.
The ceremonies begins at 5:15 p.m. with an oak-tree planting in the university president's front yard on La. 1. That will be followed by a flag-lowering ceremony performed by local scouts.
The events will continue with a visit to Ellender Memorial Library, where a Boy Scouts exhibit is on display, to hear speakers will share their thoughts on the scouts. Finally participants will return to the flagpole, raising it to welcome the second century for the scouts.

"Photographing Khiva" Top 5 Page for this destination Khiva Favorite Tip by toonsarah
Khiva General: 9 reviews and 28 photos
Fondest memory: As you wander through the sun-baked streets and lanes of Khiva do take time to notice not just the architecture but also the details which will provide variety and add atmosphere to your photos. A carved door, an especially beautiful piece of tile work, a small window letting in a shaft of light ? all these will contribute to the overall picture you paint of this gem of a city.
Even more so will images of the people add to the story your photos can tell and, as everywhere in Uzbekistan, most will be very happy to have their pictures taken. Look out for friendly shopkeepers, smiling children and Uzbek families visiting the sights. And make sure you look down the side streets too as their tranquillity can make them seem as if nothing has changed in them for centuries.

Edit: Since it appears nobody is reading the original question this links to, let me bring in a synopsis of it here.
The original problem, as asked by someone else, was that, given a large number of values, where the sum would exceed what a data type of
Double would hold, how can one calculate the average of those values.
There was several answers that said to calculate in sets, like taking 50 and 50 numbers, and calculating the average inside those sets, and then finally take the average of all those sets and combine those to get the final average value.
My position was that unless you can guarantee that all those values can be split into a number of equally sized sets, you cannot use this approach. Someone dared me to ask the question here, in order to provide the answer, so here it is.
Basically, given an arbitrary number of values, where:
- I know the number of values beforehand (but again, how would your answer change if you didn't?`)
- I cannot gather up all the numbers, nor can I sum them (the sum will be too big for a normal data type in your programming language)
how can I calculate the average?
The rest of the question here outlines how, and the problems with, the approach to split into equally sized sets, but I'd really just like to know how you can do it.
Note that I know perfectly well enough math to know that in math theory terms, calculating the sum of
A[1..N]/N will give me the average, let's assume that there are reasons that it isn't just as simple, and I need to split up the workload, and that the number of values isn't necessarily going to be divisable by 3, 7, 50, 1000 or whatever.
In other words, the solution I'm after will have to be general.
From this question:
- What is a good solution for calculating an average where the sum of all values exceeds a double's limits?
my position was that splitting the workload up into sets is no good, unless you can ensure that the size of those sets are equal.
Edit: The original question was about the upper limit that a particular data type could hold, and since he was summing up a lot of numbers (count that was given as example was 10^9), the data type could not hold the sum. Since this was a problem in the original solution, I'm assuming (and this is a prerequisite for my question, sorry for missing that) that the numbers are too big to give any meaningful answers.
So, dividing by the total number of values directly is out. The original reason for why a normal SUM/COUNT solution was out was that SUM would overflow, but let's assume, for this question that SET-SET/SET-SIZE will underflow, or whatever.
The important part is that I cannot simply sum, I cannot simply divide by the number of total values. If I cannot do that, will my approach work, or not, and what can I do to fix it?
Let me outline the problem.
Let's assume you're going to calculate the average of the numbers 1 through 6, but you cannot (for whatever reason) do so by summing the numbers, counting the numbers, and then dividing the sum by the count. In other words, you cannot simply do (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6.
In other words,
SUM(1..6)/COUNT(1..6) is out. We're not considering NULL's (as in database NULL's) here.
Several of the answers to that question alluded to being able to split the numbers being averaged into sets, say 3 or 50 or 1000 numbers, then calculating some number for that, and then finally combining those values to get the final average.
My position is that this is not possible in the general case, since this will make some numbers, the ones appearing in the final set, more or less valuable than all the ones in the previous sets, unless you can split all the numbers into equally sized sets.
For instance, to calculate the average of 1-6, you can split it up into sets of 3 numbers like this:
/ 1 2 3 \ / 4 5 6 \
| - + - + - | + | - + - + - |
\ 3 3 3 / \ 3 3 3 / <-- 3 because 3 numbers in the set
---------- -----------
2 2 <-- 2 because 2 equally sized groups
Which gives you this:
2 5
- + - = 3.5
2 2
(note: (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6 = 3.5, so this is correct here)
However, my point is that once the number of values cannot be split into a number of equally sized sets, this method falls apart. For instance, what about the sequence 1-7, which contains a prime number of values.
Can a similar approach, that won't sum all the values, and count all the values, in one go, work?
So, is there such an approach? How do I calculate the average of an arbitrary number of values in which the following holds true:
- I cannot do a normal sum/count approach, for whatever reason
- I know the number of values beforehand (what if I don't, will that change the answer?)

Hi I am using Ryan's Contact form in a page. When I submit the form, I recieve a success msg. Then when I check email, I don't get any email in the address I specified in the option.
Any help?
Hi I am using Ryan's Contact form in a page. When I submit the form, I recieve a success msg. Then when I check email, I don't get any email in the address I specified in the option.
Any help?
It should be using the smtp you provided in your admin. Have you tested it to see if it's working?
i get emails for comment moderations/spam.
I also get new user registration email. I have no clue what is going on with the form!
Try another contact form plugin and see if same problem. There are several if you search the codex.
I use WP-Contact Form without problems using smtp and php mail on differing sites.
i tried the one u mentioned first, it did not send email. Then I switched to contact form II plugin, it's not sending email either.
just found that user comment is not going to my email either. is the whole mail system collapsed in my blow?
Have you tried the php mail option? On some hosts it works better. That or contact your host to be sure what your smtp address is.
Man, I know how you feel. I tried them all too, but got nowhere. WordPress has a contact form, but it was not working when I installed it.
I finally tried PXS Mail and it works fine.
It has only one file and is quite simple. See if it works for you.
nothing works man! I am pulling my hear!! Here're the list of things I tried,
1. installed wp-contactform- result did not work
2. installed wpPHPmail plugin
3. tried again, no result.
4. now just tried pxsmail, no luck either.
is there anyone out there who can lead me to the right direction?
I have the perfect solution: http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/secure-form-mailer-plugin-for-wordpress/
Any errors you run into, I can help you fix.
leMaxin, thanks for your help! I don't think that's gonna work. I don't know, why's not a single one out there who can point me to the right direction. gosh! giving me links of so many versions of forms is not helping, as you can see I have already tried 3 different versions.
This is something to do with mail sending from wordpress. can any one help?
Why isn't it going to work, Mhabib?
see, I have tried 3 different versions of form. each one of them works (by saying that I mean, there's not a single error I get), except that I don't get any email.
And what happened when you contacted your host? WP just uses what's in PHP's php.ini file for outbound mail.
Mhabib, have you TRIED installing the Dagon design form? I also went through 4 or 5 plugins, they all take a little teaking for your server. Stop being stubborn and try the plugin I recommended. I offer to help you get it to work.
Hi HandySolo,
Thanks for your reply. My host is Yahoo. I contacted them, they said smtp/pop3 on my account is working. And that's prolly true coz I get email from wordpress both using default mail handler or wpPHPmailer (i mean smtp) when I register a new user from user admin page. Although, it did not send email to the address I provided during user registration.
Any clue?
I am sorry LeMaxim. I am not becoming stubborn. See I am trying this simple (I thought) thing for days now. and it does not work! I am sorry again. I will try yours once I figure why I don't get email for comments and why new user doesn't get email?
Hi LeMaxim, I tried yours, and it's saying this msg when I hit send mail,
No connection to the mailserver. Please try again later."
Maybe I'm wrong.. I dunno, where's whooami when ya need her lmao!! =P I *hope* this is what you're trying to figure out.. =P
*ADDED* If you want, and can use a gmail setup for the blog, just use this and use your gmail user and pass and you're good to go!! The port number is already set for the: pop.gmail.com setting. This is right from my blog..
Mail server: pop.gmail.com Port:995
Login name: Your's of course
Password: Your's of course
Then hit the Update Options button.
That should work for you too. =)
Are you sure your smtp/pop3 addresses are correct and the user and password for it is correct? Just was curious..
(This is within the blog) I'm not sure if that's what you're really refering to though.. I'm at a lost to Yahoo at the moment sigh.
Options => Writing
Example only, possibly not real:
Mail server: pop.yahoo.com Port:995 <-whatever number yahoo uses.
Login name: Your's of course
Password: Your's of course
Then hit the Update Options button.
It took me a little while to figure it all out..when I first started using WordPress sigh.. =/
I'm not positive, but I use Gmail for my blog, and just use the pop.gmail.com and it sends and so forth, without even worrying about the smtp settings in the blog.. so maybe just try the "pop3" settings once and make sure everything on yahoo.com's email side is correct too..
ok. here's the thing guys. PLEASE READ it, when new user register I get an email with same smtp/pop3 user/pwd/config. but the user themselves do not get any email. Do u think it is related to form problem?
by the way, is there any pay support from wordpress?

Have to agree, I'd rather be at a gay orgy than a CFC service.
web extras for some visuals of this "virgin mary" you speak of?
send paul here:
American Society for Colon and Rectal Surgeons, Hynes Convention Center, June 8-11, 2008
You're straight?! I was at a party you crashed and I've never seen anyone swing a hammer so swishily. Oh well, congrats or whatever on being no mo.
Well, Skweetis, as to my hammer-swinging skills: I never said I was a manly man. I've always hated sports and I've never built anything that required more than a screwdriver for construction. But, yes, I'm totally straight. That's the plus about attending an orgy: if there were any tendencies at all, I'm pretty sure they would've made themselves clear then.
Good point. Maybe the Young Republicans should start using the gay orgy as a screening process. Oh wait, they probably already do.
La, I remember the days when I was asked to orgies. Back when I was the toast of the Brass Connection and the "Sports Bar" level of R Place (stop rolling your eyes, I can see you). Nowadays, I have trouble wrangling an invite to complimentary timeshare meetings. Oh well, I gathered my rosebuds while I could.
(get your mind out of the gutter. That's from a poem. Something about virgins)
Oh that's too fabulous. I wish I could have been a fly on your lapel.

Adelaide company SolveIT Software named third-fastest growing technology company in Australia
- From: The Advertiser
- November 17, 2012
ADELAIDE'S SolveIT Software has been named the third-fastest growing technology company in the nation.
The company, founded by Matthew Michalewicz in 2004, achieved exceptional growth of 678.9 per cent in the past financial year.
In eight years the company has grown from scratch to about 150 employees, and was acquired by French company Schneider Electric in September.
SolveIT develops optimisation software using complex mathematics, enabling companies from sectors as varied as winemaking and mining to streamline their production processes.
The fastest growing tech company in Australia, as measured by Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program, was online retail outlet brandsExclusive, which grew 1335.1 per cent.
The by-invitation shopping club has a member base of more than two million people, growing by 90,000 members per month. It partners directly with leading brands to offer sales events to its members.
Fast 50 Program leader Joshua Tanchel said brandsExclusive had adeptly harnessed social media as well as successfully set up long-term sourcing relationships.
"brandsExclusive was the winner of our Rising Star award last year and it's an understatement to say they have gone from strength to strength in the past 12 months," he said.
"The sectors driving the growth in this year's Fast 50 are online, software and the infrastructure needed to support these.
"The convergence of disruptive, post-digital technologies is changing the ways businesses must respond to individuals' needs and expectations.
"brandsExclusive is a prime example of a business that has understood and embraced these changes and profited accordingly."
The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Program, now in its twelfth year, ranks 50 of Australia's fastest growing public and private technology companies, based on percentage revenue growth over three years (2010 to 2012).
Total revenue for this year's Fast 50 winners was approximately $2.4 billion, up from $2.2 billion in 2011.

So recently I have gotten a new vga cable (third party from monoprice) for the xbox in order to replace the component cable. When I connect it to the projector I am getting a greenish picture at some resolutions. At other resolutions it doesn't even show a picture at all. I have connected a laptop with the same resolution to the projector and it works fine so it is not the projector. I have also connected the xbox vga cable to a monitor and it also works fine. When the projector does actually show a picture it thinks it has a RGB signal from the xbox too. I am not too sure but I think the projector is expecting a different signal than it is receiving. The projector is a Optoma Dv10.

The Xbox doesn't natively output VGA. You need to install a VGA BIOS, or a VGA softmod, or enable VGA on your current softmod.

OLATHE, Kan. — A judge dismissed on Wednesday the most serious charges against a Kansas City-area Planned Parenthood clinic accused of failing to follow abortion law after the disclosure that state officials had destroyed documents that became key evidence in the case.
Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe said he had no choice but to ask District Judge Stephen Tatum to dismiss 49 of 107 charges against Planned Parenthood's clinic in Overland Park because both the state health department and attorney general's office destroyed reports on individual abortions filed with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment in 2003.
Tatum dismissed 23 felony counties of falsifying such reports, as well as 26 misdemeanor charges that the clinic had failed to maintain its own copies, as required by law. But 58 misdemeanor charges remain, accusing the clinic of performing illegal abortions and failing to follow a state law restricting late-term abortions.
Howe disclosed last month that the health department had shredded its copies of the reports in 2005, in what Planned Parenthood described as a routine destruction of documents. Howe said in court Wednesday that the attorney general's office, under Democrat Steve Six, also destroyed its copies of the same records in April 2009 — 18 months after the criminal charges were filed in Johnson County and amid legal disputes over the case.
The district attorney said his office has partial copies of the same records, but they haven't been declared authentic in the court record, and he can't establish a proper chain of custody.
"The legal hurdles are insurmountable," Howe told Tatum.
The health department shredded its copies during the administration of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat who supports abortion rights. Six, who was appointed by Sebelius in 2007 to fill a vacancy, is a supporter of abortion rights.
Six's successor as attorney general, Republican Derek Schmidt, disclosed Wednesday that he's asked the sheriff in Shawnee County, home to the state capital of Topeka, to investigate the destruction of documents by both the health department and the attorney general's office under Six. In a letter dated Tuesday, Schmidt told Sheriff Richard Barta that the Shawnee County district attorney had agreed to handle any resulting case, because Schmidt's office has a conflict of interest.
The criminal charges against Planned Parenthood were filed in Johnson County by District Attorney Phill Kline, a Republican who opposes abortion. Kline began investigating abortion providers in 2003, while serving as attorney general; he became Johnson County's prosecutor in 2007 after losing his bid for re-election as attorney general. Howe is Kline's successor as DA and inherited the case.
The dismissed charges alleged that Planned Parenthood had failed to maintain its copies of the reports, then produced falsified versions when compelled to do so by a judge during an attorney general's office investigation of abortion providers.
Planned Parenthood attorney Pedro Irigonegaray said the different copies of the records had different handwriting because clinic employees made a copy of each by hand for the clinic, with exactly the same information, before sending the first copy to the health department.
"The difference in handwriting did not represent criminal conduct," Irigonegaray said.
Irigonegaray also blamed Kline — long a subject to fierce criticism from abortion rights advocates — for the problems with the criminal case encountered by Howe. Irigonegaray said Kline, in seeking copies of the records as attorney general in 2004, could have asked the health department to declare them authentic then. The department never has in the court record, and Howe subpoenaed the agency's copies in October to deal with the issue.
"Competent lawyers know the importance of obtaining authenticated copies," Irigonegaray said in court. "The person responsible for the legal fiasco is Mr. Kline and nobody else."

Biosecurity officials are investigating the discovery of a
second male Queensland fruit fly caught in a surveillance
trap in Whangarei.
The insect was collected from a Ministry for Primary
Industries routine surveillance trap on Tuesday and formally
identified yesterday.
It follows the discovery of another fruit fly in Whangarei in
January which triggered a massive surveillance programme
which included setting up a controlled area with restrictions
on the movement of fresh fruit and vegetables, which cost
taxpayers $1.6 million.
MPI Deputy Director General Compliance and Response Andrew
Coleman said the insect was trapped in the Parihaka area of
Whangarei, about 400m from where a single fly was found in
January this year.
"However all our information at this stage tells us this
detection is a new find and not related to the January
"Queensland fruit fly has been found four times in New
Zealand previously, including the January Whangarei
detection. In all these earlier cases, increased trapping
found no further flies," Mr Coleman said.
Up to 120 MPI and Quality Assure staff worked on the
biosecurity threat in Whangarei after a single male
Queensland fruit fly was found in a garden in the
Riverside/Parihaka area, on January 21.
The operation was finally declared over on February 8 after
no more fruit flies were found following two weeks of
trapping, fruit sampling and testing. That operation cost
$1.6 million.

A flower bed near the bird bath taken on Sunday morning March 25th, 2007 while on my way to takes some photos of the Bleriot Memorial,
I decided to go through Connaught Park in case there were any squirrels about. There were quite a few, but getting close enough to take a decent picture was quite difficult, not least because they prefer to scamper about under trees in the shade. This is about the best squirrel image I took.
Dover Distrct Council (DDC) have a webpage listing local "Parks and Open Spaces". The entry for Connaught Park reads:
This park is the first park established in Dover dating back to Victorian times.
Set on the hillside below Dover Castle it provides facilities for both recreational and sporting activities.
The open grass slopes provide a pleasant environment for a stroll offering excellent views across the town.
The lower part of the park is set out in a more traditional style with an ornamental lake and lawns leading to an aviary.
Within the park there are both grass and hard tennis courts and a play area for children.
The DDC webpage also has entries for Kearsney Abbey and Pencester Gardens.

An A.R.E. Study Group focuses on relating more fully to God and humanity, and on living more abundantly, extending love and service to others. It is NOT the purpose of an A.R.E. Study Group to function as an open-ended discussion group or a development group for mediumship or psychic phenomena. It recognizes the existence of extra sensory perception but it does not pursue it as a group activity. The A.R.E. does not recommend or endorse anyone commercially involved with any psychic field nor should any of its members promote their own business and/or services or those of others during meetings.
In a group there is the likelihood of all its members traveling in the same general direction, all in need of support and help. There is comfort in knowing one is not alone; that there are others with problems. There is an opportunity to get outside oneself and help others.
A group brings together a variety of viewpoints, educations, environments, experiences, and personalities. Collectively, the group wisdom may have far more to offer than could be found in any one individual.
In group discussions members may disclose personal problems which cause other members to see the same difficulty within themselves for the first time.
Meditation is developed more powerfully in a group, and personal meditation on one's own is strengthened. The examples presented by group members increase one's awareness of hidden personality traits and encourage efforts of self-change. The group helps members to talk openly, but not to talk so much that they deprive others of an opportunity. Members become more concerned with the whole group – not just with themselves.
You can receive contact information online. Not all groups are listed via the web page. If you do not see one in your local area, please call Customer Service 800-333-4499, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for a complete listing.

Students' Expectations and Responsibilities
This section sets out what the University expects from its research degree students and the students' responsibilities.
Quick Guide
132. The University's Code Practice for Research Degrees describes the academic provision for its research students, in setting out the principles by which they are managed and in defining the responsibilities of Schools and supervisors.
133. The following are reasonable expectations for a student to have in relation to support for their research degree programme:
.1 access to induction and information that promote an understanding of the academic environment in which their research studies will be undertaken;
.2 access to a learning infrastructure and research environment that supports the progress of their research studies: this may sometimes be provided through collaboration with other institutions or partners;
.3 a challenging and realistic project, with high-quality research training;
.4 a supervisory team with the necessary expertise and experience, that will provide appropriate direction and guidance;
.5 an adequate schedule of formal contacts and meetings with their main supervisor and their supervisory team;
.6 honest and constructive feedback from supervisors and reviewers, and effective monitoring of academic progress;
.7 the return of written work, with appropriately detailed feedback, within an agreed time scale;
.8 responses to queries they raise with their supervisors within a reasonable time scale;
.9 opportunities to develop broader research and professional skills;
.10 opportunities and encouragement to engage with other researchers, and to present and discuss their research;
.11 where feasible, opportunities to participate in teaching activities and access to appropriate training and mentoring arrangements;
.12 an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of their supervisory team and the support structures in their School, including:
i. the level of support available after the period of fee-paying registration;
ii. the role of the Director of Postgraduate Research Studies;
iii. the mechanisms by which to provide feedback and to raise any concerns.
134. Research students are required to ensure that they are aware of the terms of their research degree programmes, including any particular requirements stipulated by their sponsors, and of their responsibilities towards the successful completion of their work.
135. Supervisors provide advice and guidance, but the student is expected to take the initiative, and has responsibility for the progress of their research, the preparation and submission of their thesis, the quality and integrity of their work, and for their personal and professional development.
136. Students are expected to pursue their research goals with diligence, and endeavour to present a completed thesis for examination by the end of their period of fee-paying registration (by their 'expected thesis submission date').
137. Responsibilities are highlighted to research degree applicants when they are offered admission to the University and to new research students at induction.
138. The responsibilities of the research student include:
.1 agreeing with their supervisors the goals and scope of the research project, an overall timescale for its completion and the key stages of work (recorded in the Research Plan);
.2 setting and keeping to timetables and deadlines, including undertaking and submitting work as and when required and generally maintaining satisfactory progress with the research programme;
.3 ensuring that other activities do not adversely affect the progress of their studies;
.4 complying with the review and reporting requirements of the University's Research Student Progress Monitoring Procedure;
.5 maintaining regular contact with their supervisors, including when the student is away from the University;
.6 agreeing a schedule of meetings and formal contacts with their supervisors at which detailed planning and progress can be discussed, and adhering to the agreed schedule;
.7 preparing adequately for meetings with their supervisors;
.8 taking account of guidance and feedback from supervisors;
.9 being open and honest about progress, and alerting their supervisor to any specific needs or factors likely to affect their work or progress, including any circumstances which may require application for an interruption of study or an extension to the submission deadline;
.10 reporting planned absences such as holiday arrangements in advance to the supervisor, and reporting any circumstances that prevent or impede attendance or engagement as soon as is practicable;
.11 attending any interview requested by the School or University;
.12 making appropriate use of the study and research facilities provided and if required to share facilities to do so with due regard for fellow students/workers;
.13 participating in training and development opportunities agreed with their supervisor;
.14 taking advantages of opportunities to engage in the research environment and to discuss their research;
.15 submitting the thesis for examination within the required timescale, taking due heed of the supervisor's advice;
.16 reporting in writing any specific provision requests that should be made known to the research degree examiners to the Convenor of the Examining Board;
.17 maintaining a proper and professional relationship with their supervisors and other University staff and students;
.18 complying with relevant regulations, policies, procedures and codes of behaviour, and with terms of studentship funding, including those relating to academic matters; research governance; intellectual property; research integrity and ethics; enrolment; payment; health and safety; and student data maintenance;
.19 keeping appropriate records of their research, of their research and professional development and of formal meetings with supervisors.
139. Research students should also refer to Cardiff University's Student Charter which has been developed through a partnership between students, the Students' Union and the University. It outlines the roles, responsibilities and expectations of all students to support a high-quality experience whilst studying at the University.

Imagine a Washington, D.C. where Republicans came to work each day fired up with renewed passion and zeal. A Congress where energized Republicans legislated in bi-partisan fashion on behalf of the American people.
By Dave Levinthal May 2, 2013...
It's spring, the buds are sprouting, the sap is rising -- and political redemption is blooming anew. Two politicians forced to resign from office due to sex scandals are back in the game.
To say a politician has flip-flopped ties the politician to his changing position. Flip-flopping is an intentional action, an opportunistic one. Evolving evokes a metaphor external to the agency of a politician.
While this year's conference will certainly be quite the show, it will serve as even further confirmation that the Republican Party does not reflect our community's political values and that the Democratic Party is the true political home for American Jews.
The invisible hand of the market, which the GOP worships as an infallible god, is curled into a fist and is pounding America's lowest-paid workers.
A surprising number of critics caution that he's promising more than he, his party, and even government can deliver; others worry that he is making a tough road tougher -- both domestically and internationally -- for an already bedraggled America.
Kerry and Hagel (like Colin Powell) missed their historical moment. Had they opposed Bush's war they might have made a difference. Now perhaps they can use their cabinet posts to implement a policy or two of atonement.
As with many religions, political parties have a tendency to start as a movement, transform into a business, and finally degenerate into a racket designed to fleece the yokels. One organization which has gone out of its way to illustrate this evolution is the Republican Party.
By using a loophole in the tax code, some individuals have organized their businesses in such a way that their earnings, what you and I would call "wages," can technically be called "profits" and therefore are not subject to Medicare tax.
Recovery will not be easy, and will likely follow the famous five steps Kubler-Ross describe in the aftermath of a death in the family: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Republicans are stuck on stage one, denial, and can't move forward.
While Newt Gingrich represents much that has been wrong with the Republican party for the last 20 years -- and is as responsible as anyone for the extreme partisanship in Washington today -- he has clearly learned some lessons from the past.
Faced with a choice between the path of reason and the road to ruin, Republicans cling to ruin rather than adapt. That is the difference between ideas and talking points. Ideas evolve with new information, while talking points are static.
For pretty much my whole adult life there have been very few political issues on which my brother and I agree. But in an interview that The Huffington Post did with my brother, there were actually multiple items that had me nodding my head when usually it would be shaking in exasperation.
President Obama and the Democrats' willingness to accept cuts to Social Security in the form of the gimmicky "chained CPI" right after an election where no candidate for federal office campaigned on it shows that the Right's long-term project of undoing the New Deal marches on despite the electorate's wishes.
No Democratic president has ever cut Social Security. We shouldn't start now. Mr. President, I hope you change your mind, toughen up your bargaining position, and wait the Republicans out.
