In-memory processing has been a pretty hot topic lately. Many companies that historically would not have considered using in-memory technology because it was cost prohibitive are now changing their core systems' architectures to take advantage of the low-latency transaction processing that in-memory technology offers. This is a consequence of the fact that the price of RAM is dropping significantly and rapidly and as a result, it has become economical to load the entire operational dataset into memory with performance improvements of over 1000x faster. In-Memory Compute and Data Grids provide the core capabilities of an in-memory architecture.
The goal of In-Memory Data Grids (IMDG) is to provide extremely high availability of data by keeping it in memory and in highly distributed (i.e. parallelized) fashion. By loading Terabytes of data into memory IMDGs are able to work with most of the Big Data processing requirements today.
At a very high level IMDG is a distributed object store similar in interface to a typical concurrent hash map. You store objects with keys. Unlike traditional systems where keys and values are often limited to byte arrays or strings – with IMDGs you can use any domain object as either value or key. This gives tremendous flexibility by allowing to keep exactly the same object your business logic is dealing with in the Data Grid without the extra step of marshaling and de-marshaling alternative technologies would require. It also simplifies the usage of data grid as you can in most cases interface with distributed data store as with a simple hash map. Being able to work with domain objects directly is one of the main differences between IMDGs and In-Memory Databases (IMDB). With the latter, users still need to perform Object-To-Relational Mapping which typically adds significant performance overhead.
There are also some other features in IMDGs that distinguish them from other products, such as NoSql databases, IMDBs, or NewSql databases. One of the main differences would be truly scalable Data Partitioning across cluster. Essentially IMDGs in their purest form can be viewed as distributed hash maps with every key cached on a particular cluster node – the bigger the cluster, the more data you can cache. The trick to this architecture is to make sure that you collocate your processing with the cluster nodes where data is cached to make sure that all cache operations become local and that there is no (or minimal) data movement within the cluster. In fact, when using well designed IMDGs, there should be absolutely no data movement on stable topologies – the only time when some of the data is moved is when new nodes join in or some existing nodes leave, hence causing some data repartitioning within the cluster.
The picture below shows a classic IMDG with a key set of {k1, k2, k3} where each key belongs to a different node. The external database component is optional. If present, then IMDGs will usually automatically read data from the database or write data to it.
Another distinguishing characteristic of IMDGs is Transactional ACID support. Generally a 2-phase-commit (2PC) protocol is used to ensure data consistency within cluster. Different IMDGs will have different underlying locking mechanisms, but usually more advanced implementations will provide concurrent locking mechanisms (like MVCC – multi-version concurrency control) and reduce network chattiness to a minimum, hence guaranteeing transactional ACID consistency with very high performance.
Data consistency is one of the main differences between IMDGs and NoSQL databases. NoSQL databases are usually designed on top of Eventual Consistency (EC) approach where data is allowed to be inconsistent for a period of time as long as it will become consistent *eventually*. Generally, the writes on EC-based systems are somewhat fast, but reads are slow (or to be more precise, as fast as writes are). Latest IMDGs with an *optimized* 2PC should at least match if not outperform EC-based systems on writes, and be significantly faster on reads. It is interesting to note that the industry has made a full circle moving from a then-slow 2PC approach to the EC approach, and now from EC to an *optimized* 2PC which often is significantly faster.
Different products provide different 2PC optimizations, but generally the purpose of all optimizations is to increase concurrency, minimize network overhead, and reduce the number of locks a transaction requires to complete. As an example, Google's distributed global database, Spanner, is based on a transactional 2PC approach simply because 2PC provided a faster and more straightforward way to guarantee data consistency and high throughput compared to MapReduce or EC.
Even though IMDGs usually share some common basic functionality, there are many features and implementation details that are different between vendors. When evaluating an IMDG product pay attention to eviction policies, (pre)loading techniques, concurrent repartitioning, memory overhead, etc… Also pay attention to the ability to query data at runtime. Some IMDGs, such as GridGain for example, allow users to query in-memory data using standard SQL, including support for distributed joins, which is pretty rare.
The typical use for IMDGs is to partition data across the cluster and then send collocated computations to the nodes where the data is. Since computations are usually part of Compute Grids and have to be properly deployed, load-balanced, failed-over, or scheduled, the integration between Compute Grids and IMDGs is very important. It is especially beneficial if both In-Memory Compute and Data Grids are part of the same product and utlize the same APIs which removes the need of integration and usually renders utmost performant and reliable systems.
IMDGs (together with Compute Grids) are used throughout a wide spectrum of industries in applications as diverse as Risk Analytics, Trading Systems, Bio Informatics, eCommerce, or Online Gaming. Essentially every project that struggles with scalability and performance can benefit from In-Memory Processing and IMDG architecture.

On this Thanksgiving Day, we would like to offer our thanks to everyone who has supported our radio program through your contributions that are keeping us on the air, your word of mouth support, and above all, your prayers. Again this year, we've broken all previous listenership records from the last two years combined! As of today, our show has been downloaded in over 70 countries, rebroadcast on numerous platforms, and downloaded by millions of listeners. We could not have accomplished such a feat without you.
We would also like to thank the numerous other talk show hosts in the new media who have had us on as guests on their shows. It is more important today than ever before that we work together to provide the truth about current events, countering the deliberate disinformation and misinformation heard in the "managed" media. It is our goal to offer critical information to our listeners with clarity instead of political bias, and do so through a Biblical worldview in order to inform and educate others to the very best of our abilities.
This Thanksgiving, we recognize that there are many people in the U.S. and across the globe who are not blessed with any immediate family or for other reasons, will be alone during this day of celebration. Whether you are alone or simply lonely, or are gathered with family and friends and want to hear real news and in-depth, actionable information, I invite you to join me live this Thanksgiving at our regular time, from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET. Pull up a chair to our virtual table and we'll have a round table discussion, sans the turkey and pie, about news and current events. I'll be "flying solo" tonight to cover a number of important topics, including the real reason behind the alleged agreement with Iran and what it means to the world.

Neighbors: Tammy Halsted
Date: June 27, 2012
by: Mallory Gnaegy | Community Editor
Tammy Halsted is in the process of moving into an apartment on St. Armands Circle — it happens to be the exact apartment she lived in for three-and-a-half years before she moved to Texas for a job opportunity in 2006. She returned to the area in March.
"I love the beach, I love the theater, I have wonderful friends here … business owners on the Circle to my family on Longboat — it's just, it's home!" she says. "I really missed it!"
She even has what she calls her "Cheers Bar" — Lynches Pub and Grub. It's a place she goes where everybody knows her name. And when she first moved back, the sisters gave her a temporary job waiting tables until she found something more permanent. They were her lifelines.
The first time she lived here was after Sept.11; she was living in Tampa but layoffs in her retail-entertainment district moved her south to Sarasota "to start over again." Plus, her family (the Christensens, of Harry's Continental Kitchens) lived on Longboat Key.
After her move, Halsted got her real-estate license and a place in the historic Village on Longboat Key. She was selling real estate for Andrew Vac, until 2006 when she accepted a marketing position in Texas.
Moving is something Halsted is used to: She has moved a total of 34 times in her life.
"This is my last one and I'm not moving again," she asserts.
Some moves were because of her marketing and sales job for Marriott, but many happened when she was a young girl. Her father worked for a beverage company and his position relocated the family frequently.
Moving could be responsible for the travel-bug in her: Halsted has visited 49 of the 50 states. She has ventured all over the Caribbean and every resort destination in Mexico. She has been to Uganda in East Africa twice, on mission trips working with orphans. The orphans would teach Halsted songs in their native tongue and she would trade them American songs such as, "This Little Light of Mine."
Halsted has never been to South Africa, but it is next on her bucket list. The itch has been especially strong since she has been working for Touch Corporation, a retail company and travel agency that specializes in South African destinations.
"I try to keep my passport from getting dusty," she says.
Besides travel, her other passion is theater. She came out of her shell at a young age.
"As a young child, I went to six grade schools in six years. I had the choice to be the wallflower that no one remembered or be the girl that no one forgot," Halsted says. She chose the latter.
Halsted has been acting since she was 12 but has been singing "since the moment I came out of the womb," she says. She has performed numerous shows with the Sarasota Players, including "Mousetrap," "Dracula," "Showboat," "Oliver" and "The Full Monty." She has been rehearsing for the Summer Sizzler "Stay" that will play from Aug. 9 to Aug. 12.
And, sitting in the audience, just like at every other show, will be her Sarasota family: The Christensens, Chris and Ethna Lynch, Andrew Vac and her co-workers at Touch Corporation.
"I am finally home," she says.

Sudan protesters, opposition call for Bashir ousting
KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Thousands of Sudanese called for the overthrow of veteran President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on Saturday, spurred on by an opposition trying to stoke an Arab Spring style uprising.
The opposition, capitalizing on anger over soaring food prices and corruption, has threatened to stage mass protests to topple Bashir within 100 days.
The uprisings that shook the Arab world have passed Sudan by as the security forces usually break up the frequent small street protests by students before they have a chance to spread.
But on Saturday, several thousand people - possibly as many as 10,000, according to witnesses - rallied in a square in Khartoum's twin city Omdurman, the biggest rally in years.
Echoing the language heard across Tunisia, Egypt and Libya during mass demonstrations that overthrew leaders there, protesters held up signs saying: "The people demand the fall of the regime" and "Go Bashir".
"We tell this regime - you have to go," Sadiq al-Mahdi, head of the opposition Umma Party, told the crowd, shouting back "Go, go" as he was speaking.
"This regime has failed on all levels during a quarter of a century in power," he said. Sudan's last democratically elected prime minister was toppled by Bashir in a coup in 1989.
A Reuters reporter saw hundreds of police officers at the scene but they did not stop the rally.
Bashir still enjoys the support of the army and influential Islamist groups. He dismisses the opposition parties as insignificant.
Critics of the opposition say its leadership fails to pose a challenge because it is more absorbed by its own rivalries than organizing sufficiently to form a potent challenge to the elite.
Several leaders such as Mahdi have past government ties, sapping the opposition's credibility among young people.
Sudan's economy has been in turmoil since the former civil war foe South Sudan seceded in 2011, taking away most oil production, which used to be the main source for the budget and dollars needed to fund food imports.

Up next for WA charter schools: plans and lawyers
Now that voters have spoken about charter schools will the new, independent public schools be an option at the beginning of the next academic year?
Associated Press
Now that voters have spoken about charter schools will the new, independent public schools be an option at the beginning of the next academic year?
It seems unlikely.
Voters narrowly approved Initiative 1240 earlier this month, but opening charter schools by 2013 would require many things to happen quickly. And there's a strong possibility that the state's top education officer will sue to block them.
First the state Board of Education has to figure out the next steps. The board has until March 6 to adopt rules to govern most aspects of charter schools in Washington. Board spokesman Aaron Wyatt said that schedule is tight, so people shouldn't expect them to beat their deadline.

College Sport
Jake Harris can see the trail heading to Albuquerque.
The Kapiti College year 13 pupil would love to join older brother Joe on the football roster at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
It's a dream that probably came a step closer to reality this month when Harris was selected for the New Zealand secondary schools under-19 football side.
He is joined in the schools team, to tour Britain and Ireland, by Wellington College's Daniel Bowkett.
Harris, 17, is keen to continue his career in the United States college system and New Mexico would be his first preference.
"That's the dream at the moment. To be able to play over there and get an education at he same time - that seems ideal.
"It would be amazing to get the chance to play with my brother again. That would be the perfect outcome.
"It's not out of the question but there's still a long way to go. I have to make sure my [academic] grades are high enough and that I'm playing well enough.
"I have talked to the coaches over there [at New Mexico] a couple of times but only informally."
There is already a significant Wellington presence on the New Mexico roster, with Joe Harris joined this year by Caleb Hilbron (ex-Wellington College) and Joe Wypych (ex-St Pat's Town).
Former Hamilton Boys' High School player Mattie Gibbons is in his third year with the team and Nik Robson, another Kiwi, was with the side last year and has since joined Major League Soccer club Toronto.
New Mexico were among the leading college teams for the past two years, making the last 16 in the NCAA division one championship in 2011 and last year.
Joe Harris had a "redshirt season" in his freshman year last year, which meant he did not play in any of the championship matches.
However, he played in several other games and the benefit of a redshirt season is that his four- year scholarship will now be extended over five years.
Joe Harris is listed as a midfielder with New Mexico and Jake, who plays mainly as a defender, was reluctant to compare himself to his brother.
"I find it very tough trying to compare myself to Joe. Some parts of our games are similar and some are different. But growing up, he always set the bar for me," he said.
"We are good mates and when I told him about making the under- 19 side, he was almost more excited than I was."
Football has been a family vocation for the Harris brothers. Their father, Guy, has coached at national league level and an uncle, Billy Harris, was an All White and is now a football columnist.
"We've always had a ball at our feet," Jake said.
Jake, who is a central defender, plays his school football for Kapiti College but he also plays central league for Wellington United and this summer has played alongside Bowkett in the Team Wellington youth side.
Harris has not restricted himself to football, also playing tennis, golf and basketball.
"I gave everything a go that I could but slowly became more focused on football. I ran out of time to do the others."
A professional career is his ultimate ambition, though he remains realistic about his prospects. "To do something I love and get paid for it - that sounds perfect. But it's a long shot. So many people want to do it.
"My first goal is to finish school and head over to the States."
Bowkett, 17, is the head boy at Wellington College and he is also keen to further his education and football career in the US.
A high academic achiever and an accomplished violin player, Bowkett hopes to be accepted by an Ivy League college.
A knee injury restricted his football opportunities last year but he is back at full fitness and leads the Team Wellington youth side. "I'm all good now and stronger than I was before."
A midfield player, who plays his club football for Miramar Rangers, Bowkett was a member of the New Zealand under-15 side which toured Singapore and Malaysia in 2010.
In the longer term, he has his sights set on making the New Zealand side for the 2015 Fifa under-20 World Cup, which will be held in New Zealand.
Bowkett and Harris have been key members of the Team Wellington youth side.
"They are both good kids with a great attitude and work ethic," coach Stu Pyne said. "They really want to learn and push on."

The package will contain not only the swank Onyx DS with the Diamond and Pearl cover Pokemans, but also a DVD of an original animated feature based on Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness. To top it off (or, more accurately, to cover the top of it), there's a Dialga and Palkia DS case and a mini-poster.
How much extra do you have to pay for this package? How about none extra? The Limited Edition Pokémon Pack will retail for $130, just like every other DS Lite.

Prudential boss Tidjane Thiam censured by watchdog over failed AIA takeover
Related Articles
Published: 27 March 2013
Prudential boss Tidjane Thiam was today rapped on the knuckles by the City watchdog for misconduct during his insurer's failed takeover of AIA in 2010, becoming the first FTSE 100 chief executive to be censured by the Financial Services Authority.
The regulator said Prudential had failed to tell the watchdog it planned to launch a $35.5 billion (£23.4 billion) bid for its Asian rival.
Along with the censure, effectively a public naming and shaming, Prudential was fined £30 million because it "failed to deal with the FSA in an open and co-operative manner".
The first time the regulator heard about the deal was when it was leaked to the media on February 27 2010. Prudential had been working on it since October 2009 and contacted AIA owner AIG's chief executive in December of that year. The FSA said Prudential ignored advice from its adviser Credit Suisse to inform the regulator.
Tracey McDermott, the FSA's director of enforcement and financial crime, said: "Prudential, led by Thiam as chief executive, failed to give due consideration to its obligation to inform the FSA of this transaction, which would have had a huge impact on the group had it gone through.
"That was a serious error of judgment for which Prudential is paying the price. This case should send a clear message to all board members of their collective and individual responsibility for the decisions they make on behalf of their companies."
Prudential was forced to scrap the AIA deal in June 2010 after shareholders indicated they would not back it.
The failure eventually left Prudential nursing a £377 million bill and contributed to the departure of chairman Harvey McGrath, who was not reprimanded by the FSA.
The censure and fine are believed to have been issued after more than a year of talks between Prudential and the regulator. It is believed the FSA had been seeking a fine of up to £80 million.
Both are highly embarrassing for the company and its 50-year-old boss. According to the documents, not only did Thiam, pictured, withhold information from the FSA at a routine meeting between the two parties weeks before the leak, Prudential's board also considered that the FSA "might be the cause of a leak".
Paul Manduca, Prudential's chairman, said the company wished to "draw a line under the matter".
"Tidjane acted at all times in the interests of the company and with the full knowledge and authority of the board," he said.
Comment: a lesson for the new regulator
Given the failure of the Financial Services Authority to bring enough City cowboys to account during its 16-year existence, it is amazing that the watchdog is marking its final days with a bumper fine for our top insurer.
Yet the mishandling of AIA continues to be a blight on Tidjane Thiam's stewardship of the Pru, even though the company is flying financially. The FSA is grumbling that it was kept out of the loop over a fruitless bid, which the Pru now concedes was the case.
The successors to this regulator, which is being formally carved up next week, know they need to make more examples of wrongdoers, especially as so few of the key players in the banking collapse have been properly brought to account.
In this context, it could be seen as heavy-handed to go after Thiam, but the message is clear. No one — not even an FTSE 100 boss — should have the temerity to think they are above the rules of the City.

Rice University ranks on nine Princeton Review lists

Rice University ranked high on nine of the Princeton Review's College Rankings for 2013.
The annual rankings are based on student surveys, and they list the top 20 schools in each of 62 categories.
Rice took the top spot on the Happiest Students list and ranked No. 2 on both the Best-Run Colleges and Best Quality of Life lists. It was No. 5 on the list that measures how well students get along with members of the community, and it ranked No. 7 on the Lots of Race/Class Interaction list.
Rice ranked No. 13 for both its financial aid and its athletic facilities, and it ranked No. 14 for health services. It did not rank on any list that indicates a need for improvement.
Meanwhile, the University of Houston also ranked on one list. It was No. 13 on the Got Milk? list, which is the counterpart to the Lots of Beer list. Both lists are based on the "How widely is beer used at your school?" survey question.
Rice, UH and the University of St. Thomas all appear on the Best Western Colleges list, which is not ranked.
Other Texas schools ranking on at least five lists include Baylor University, Texas Christian University, the University of Dallas and The University of Texas at Austin.
Earlier this month, Rice was the only Texas school to make the top 50 on Forbes' list of America's 650 Top Colleges.

Perfect location.Posted Oct 27, 2014
Pros: Location and view. Very friendly reception desk staff.
Cons: Extra bed wasn't ready despite request. Access to roof pool felt kind of back alley. No bar menu at roof, so needed to order your selves downstairs.
Location: Location is perfect, right in the middle of the action and old town.
Perfect location, very nice area, old town. Hop on/off bus stop opposite hotel. View of Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Nice hotel in a prime positionPosted Oct 26, 2014
Pros: Position couldn't be faulted. Swimming pool a brilliant asset.
Cons: Another easy chair. The room was definitely large enough for two.
Location: Brilliant location. Restaurants, shops and bars just minutes away. Bridge and Opera House within 10 mins walk.
Our room was at the back. Very noisy around 5 o'clock am, when the dust bin men decided to clear out all the bottles from the night before. And let me just say people were really enjoying a glass or two every night. This noise went on for about an hour. Room very comfortable, although two easy chairs is always better than one, if two people sharing a room. Someone always ends up sitting on the bed. Overall experience very good, especially the pool on the roof top. Magnificent views over to the Opera House and Bridge. Can't wait to return, but not in that room.

Very handy to the cruise ship terminal.Posted Sep 24, 2014
Pros: Very friendly staff and the fact that it is so close to so many things. We had been at sea for so long it was really nice to go for a decent walk.

The Druze are justly famous for their hospitality. Here you get not only a warm welcome from Fadal, the congenial owner, but if you call ahead you can enjoy a traditional meal in his own home. The house formerly belonged to the British traveler and diplomat Laurence Oliphant. Fadal explains the Druze way of life and shows you displays of Druze farm implements, household objects, and handicrafts. If you choose to dine à la Druze, the meal may include skewers of grilled
lamb or steak and big, flat pita bread. Baklava and Turkish coffee provide the finishing touch.
