Disney With Diabetes (continued)
It's important to split up these supplies into two bags because you never know when you may:
• Lose a carry on bag;
• Leave a meter some place;
• Dump a can of strips;
• Break a bottle (or two) of insulin;
• Cook the insulin in a refrigerator;
• Or even diagnose a second type 1 kid on the first day of your vacation.
Yes we cooked insulin in a refrigerator, thanks to a faulty fridge in the hot summer heat and some plain bad luck. If it can happen, it does happen. In retrospect, the stories are kind of funny. What is really important is that in each of these moments, "double-packing" supplies was a huge help.
If you find yourself without the supplies you need, your hotel can arrange for a drug store to deliver supplies to you. However it will be at full list prices. We have done that, too. (FYI: IV prep to help keep the insulin pump infusion sets sticky was hard to come by.)
One other thing we do is we now put my name and cell number on our diabetes supplies. Once, we lost a meter and before it surfaced, the Magic Kingdom Lost and Found showed us exactly the same brand meter we lost. But it was not our meter. If it had had the owner's name on it, I would have made a very serious effort to track them down.
And if you fly, know the rules. Print the security rules and carry them just in case you run into a TSA screener that doesn't know them. This way, you know what you can and can't bring on the plane with you.
At Disney
First, relax and have fun! You can't do it all, so just have fun doing what you can do. My advice is to get up early and be at a park when it opens and the crowds are thin. When the parks get crowded around noon, go back to the hotel and enjoy the pool. Return for other rides and attractions after some time resting at the pool.
All the Disney Hotel accommodations, except the lower priced "value" resorts, have refrigerators you can use to keep your insulin cool. If you stay at a value resorts, make it clear when you book your reservation that you need a fridge to store insulin. Make sure you throw out terms like "medical necessity" so you are provided with what you need. They will also give you a sharps container. Just call housekeeping and ask!
If you carry insulin around, you may worry about cooking it in the hot Florida sun. (The refrigerator was a freak thing that could only happen to me.) Get a Frio Pack. These ingenious little bags keep you insulin cool with the physics of evaporation. Just soak them in water overnight and they stay cool for over 40 hours.
Heat, activity, and adrenaline affect your insulin needs. Disney coincidentally has heat, activity, and adrenaline rushes - not to mention junk food. You should be ready to make changes to your insulin dosing.
On some trips, we have found the insulin load decreased, probably from all the walking. On other trips, we found that the total daily dose was up for both kids. Maybe part of the reason was having pumpers who were freer to eat as they pleased, but the nighttime basal rates were up, too. It was hard to tell what was causing the fluctuations.
Don't make any adjustments to insulin without testing after the change. (In the interest of full disclosure I do NOT have stock in the makers of test strips. But judging by how much we test, I think I should.) We tested like mad. We test in the parks. We test late at night. We added more strips to our already redundant packing list.
Disney is great for so many reasons. Unfortunately, providing accurate carb counts are not one of those reasons. So you need to be up on your carb estimating game. Take a Calorie King book. So you need to be up on your carb estimating game. Take a Calorie King book. If you have a PDA or smart phone, you can load an electronic carb guide. USDA has a free one.
All the more reason to test often.

Too Late. The charming little log cabin, the Scout Hall, the open Spaces, associated with each house to ensure a setting, all pretty much lost to a new age with new values. All the good stuff from Old Woodside, with the exception of the Tripp Store, which the County runs, is gone. Welcome to Woodside in the new millennium.

The sensor inside the Pentax 645D camera ($9,995) was initially produced by Kodak, but in 2011 they sold the Image Sensor Solutions (ISS) business to Platinum Equity. The rumor is that those medium format sensors are not longer in production and Pentax is working on a second generation of the 645D camera. It seems that Leica is having similar issues and will be using a new sensor from an European semiconductor manufacturer in their upcoming S3 camera.

According to Gartner, the role of data centers will change over the next five years. Due to which organisations will not have a clear picture on how to plan their future data center architectures.
Rakesh Kumar, research vice president, Gartner, says, "Over the next five to ten years many organisations will need to change their approach to previous data center strategies, as most of the world comes out of recession and the Nexus of Forces (social, mobile, cloud and information) affects technology use."
"Agility, a critical third variable, will become increasingly important in future," he further adds.
Gartner also says that going ahead organisations need to plan their future data center strategies around eight forces. Gartner has identified those eight areas to balance cost, risk and agility:
Start Deploying Processor, Memory and Power Efficient Technologies: The next few years will bring significant enhancements to process architectures and the economics of processor and memory components will change. In-memory computing will become more widely used, helped by ever-cheaper DRAM and NAND flash memory. At the same time, the use of low-energy processors in servers will increase.

More than 2000 people have taken part in a series of 'hands-on' public events organised by the University to celebrate National Science and Engineering Week. (7-16 March 2008)
Nanotechnology, psychology, climate change and chemistry were just some of the areas brought to life for audiences through interactive and accessible talks, lectures and workshops.
One event in particular, Dr Who: Fact or Fantasy proved so popular that an extra session was scheduled to meet the demand from interested members of the public.
Rhianne Attwood, of the School of Physics and Astronomy presented Dr Who: Fact or Fantasy: "The event attracted people of all ages, from school children growing up with the current Doctor Who series, to the older generation who remember the earlier years", said Rhianne.
"The science of Doctor Who is a great topic to discuss, because it allows us to look at the laws of physics and whether we can use them to explore such exciting technology as used by the Doctor."
The events which were co-ordinated by the University's Community Engagement Team celebrated not only National Science and Engineering Week but also Brain Awareness Week and the Festival of Social Science.

Franklin County Sheriff Announces Bid For Columbus Mayor
Franklin County Sheriff Zach Scott said, Wednesday, he will run for Mayor of Columbus next year.
Students graduating from Ohio State University this spring are now eligible for two additional tickets to the commencement ceremony.
A teenager charged with killing three students at an Ohio high school has pleaded guilty to aggravated murder charges.
Authorities said the accident occurred Monday afternoon at a gas drilling rig near Carrolton, southeast of Canton.
The Columbus Board of Education meets tonight to discuss whether to hire an interim superintendent to replace the retiring Gene Harris. But a new education commission formed by the mayor wants to delay the hiring of a permanent superintendent until the commission makes its recommendations on the future of the schools.
A series of automatic federal budget cuts known as the sequester looms at the end of the week, and the White House has put out a list of how those cuts might affect Ohio. But the only thing that's clear about the possible sequester is there's a lot of confusion.

Weekends With Dr. Phil & Allstarcharts
- Posted by JC Parets
- on November 9th, 2013
We went over some pretty important topics today. One of the things that I try to emphasize the most is that when it comes to this market, it's not about being right, it's about making money. I can't tell you how many times I've been bullish and faded strength and how many times I've bought dips when I'm bearish. It's all about knowing your timeframes, risk parameters, and being disciplined.
There was interesting strength in US Stocks and US Dollars on good economic data Friday, while European Stocks and the Euro sold off Thursday on the rate cut. Looks to me like the market is telling us they are more concerned with a good economy than easy money. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I saw the market behave this week, so we'll see. Bonds were really disappointing Friday. I think the dynamics of this trade have now changed in the short-term and I don't see any reason to be bullish for now unless price proves otherwise. Corn is probably the most interesting thing out there right now, as far as I'm concerned. We go over this trade in detail and also discuss market psychology as usual.
I hope you enjoy the video!

Caterpillar gives Ontario harsh lesson in union-busting by shutting locomotive plant
The closing of Caterpillar plant in London, Ont., shows Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government could have done more.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The bitter labour dispute at a London locomotive company has come to a sadly predictable end. The company's owner, U.S. giant Caterpillar, closed the plant on Friday, throwing its 465 employees permanently out of work.
That's what Ken Lewenza, president of the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW), which represented the workers, warned would happen. The union had no bargaining power against an employer that refused to negotiate.
The Ontario government was equally helpless. Caterpillar pulled the plug just three days after Premier Dalton McGuinty went to London and called on the company to "come to the table and demonstrate some flexibility."
Caterpillar locked out workers at its London plant, Electro-Motive Canada, on New Year's Day after they rejected its take-it-or-leave-it demand to cut their wages by 50 per cent. It was clear from the beginning that this was not a normal work stoppage. The company would not talk, wouldn't budge, wouldn't bargain.
The community rallied behind the workers. Caterpillar shrugged. The premier denounced the company for "not meeting Ontario's legitimate expectations." He might as well have scolded a stone.
The finger-pointing has already begun. The CAW's critics accuse it of weakness. The company's critics accuse it of greed and even immorality. McGuinty's critics accuse him of failing to bring the two sides together.
None of this will save jobs or prevent foreign multinationals from hollowing out the Canadian heartland.
The labour movement, weakened by dwindling membership and globalization, can't stop these raiders. Nor can the province. Its laws are designed to facilitate traditional bargaining.
That leaves only Ottawa. Prime Minister Stephen Harper could have demanded job guarantees when his government approved the sale of the London company (then known as Progress Rail) to Caterpillar in 2010. He could have stipulated that Canadian money stays in Canada when he gave the locomotive manufacturer a substantial tax break in 2008. He could have mounted a more vigorous defence to the U.S. government's "Buy America" policy, which has the potential to suck thousands more jobs out of Canada.
He did none of these things. His challenge now is to make this sorry episode a lesson, not a precedent.

Turns out, Palin had met with a foreign leader
When Gov. Sarah Palin told ABC's Charles Gibson that — as governor of Alaska — she had never met with the leader of another nation, she apparently forgot about her meeting last year with Icelandic President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Sarah Palin's trip to New York this week was billed as the Republican vice-presidential candidate's first chance to meet with foreign heads of state. That perception was fueled by her comment this month, when she told ABC News' Charles Gibson that — as Alaska governor — she never had met with the leader of another nation.
But Palin misspoke, perhaps forgetting about a meeting with Iceland President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson last October in Anchorage. The meeting was confirmed Thursday by Bill McAllister, Palin's Alaska press secretary.
Iceland, a nation of some 300,000, has taken a lead in developing geothermal-energy resources, and Grímsson spoke at an Arctic energy symposium, and then had a private meeting with Palin. They talked for the better part of an hour, primarily about geothermal energy and Iceland's expertise in developing that resource, according to Mead Treadwell, an Alaska Republican and Arctic expert who attended the meeting.
"[Grímsson] is a head of state, I know that," Treadwell said. "And we have pictures of them together taken at the meeting."
Gibson, in his Palin interview broadcast Sept. 11, grilled the governor on her foreign-policy experience, asking if she'd ever met with a head of state who can negotiate for that country.
"I have not," Palin said, "and I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you."
McAllister said he hadn't spoken to Palin about the remark. But he guessed that the governor was "probably thinking in terms of major events, thinking about Putin, and they seemed to be talking about issues on a larger platform."
Just this week, Grímsson was back in Anchorage to attend another international forum on Arctic issues.
This time, he met with Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell while Palin was in the Lower 48.
"She would have probably met with him again had not circumstances intervened," McCallister said.

Realistic Composite Higgs Models

(Dated: March 26, 2009)
We study the role of fermionic resonances in realistic composite Higgs models. We consider the
low energy effective description of a model in which the Higgs arises as the pseudo-Goldstone boson
of an SO(5)/SO(4) global symmetry breaking pattern. Assuming that only fermionic resonances
are present below the cut-off of our effective theory, we perform a detailed analysis of the electroweak
constraints on such a model. This includes the exact one-loop calculation of the T parameter
and the anomalous ZbL¯bL coupling for arbitrary new fermions and couplings.Other relevant
observables, like b → sγ and ∆B = 2 processes have also been examined. We find that, while
minimal models are difficult to make compatible with electroweak precision tests, models with
several fermionic resonances, such as the ones that appear in the spectrum of viable composite
Higgs models from warped extra dimensions, are fully realistic in a large region of parameter
space. These fermionic resonances could be the first observable signature of the model at the LHC.
Page 2
One main objective of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is to discover the precise mecha-
nism of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). A well motivated hypothesis is that there
exists a Higgs boson which is not a fundamental scalar. Instead it could be a composite
state of a strongly coupled theory, the pseudo-Goldstone boson of a spontaneously broken
global symmetry [1]. Compositeness can explain the insensitivity of EWSB to ultravio-
let physics, while the pseudo-Goldstone nature of the Higgs boson may explain the little
hierarchy between the scale of new physics and the scale of EWSB.
This mechanism has recently received increased attention, due to the realization that
calculable composite Higgs models can be constructed in five dimensions [2]. The main idea
is an old one [3], but only recently realistic models in warped extra dimensions [2, 4, 5, 6, 7]
have been constructed. The experience with five-dimensional models indicates that custodial
symmetry [8] and a custodial protection of the ZbL¯bLcoupling [9] are likely ingredients of
realistic constructions. Little Higgs models [10] also use the idea of a Higgs boson which is
the pseudo-Goldstone boson of a spontaneously broken global symmetry. In order to solve
the little hierarchy problem, they employ the mechanism of collective symmetry breaking,
which ensures that the Higgs mass remains insensitive to ultraviolet physics at one loop.
The main phenomenological implications of a Higgs boson which is the pseudo-Goldstone
boson of an extended broken symmetry are largely independent of the particular details of
how the global symmetry is broken. They can therefore be conveniently described using an
effective Lagrangian approach [11, 12]. A reasonable starting point is a symmetry breaking
pattern that includes custodial symmetry. A minimal example of such a pattern is given
by a global SO(5) symmetry broken at a scale f to its custodially symmetric subgroup
Using this effective Lagrangian approach, it was argued in [12] that composite Higgs
models with an SO(5)/SO(4) symmetry breaking pattern are difficult to make compatible
with electroweak and flavor precision data without introducing a substantial fine-tuning.
The argument was based on very minimal models, in which fermionic resonances did not
span full representations of the SO(5) group. In addition, the estimation of electroweak
observables was made neglecting contributions which are formally subleading, but can be
relevant in specific situations. Two recent works extended the analysis of [12] to models in
Page 3
which the fermionic composites span full representations of SO(5) [13, 14]. Although these
analyses differ in several aspects, like the degree of explicit SO(5) symmetry breaking and
the symmetry breaking patterns, their outcome is somewhat similar. Only a small region
of parameter space is allowed by electroweak precision data in models with no significant
fine-tuning and one set of fermionic composites spanning a vector representation of SO(5).
In this paper, we investigate thoroughly the viability of models with an SO(5)/SO(4)
symmetry breaking pattern. Our analysis extends previous works in two ways, by making
a careful computation of the effect of the new fermionic states on electroweak observables
and by considering the effect of an extended fermionic sector.
In our study of electroweak precision constraints we use an exact one-loop calculation of
the relevant electroweak observables. We do this in complete generality, and our analytic
formulae can be used in other models. In particular, our result for the anomalous ZbL¯bL
coupling is, to the best of our knowledge, the first complete calculation for an arbitrary
number of new quarks with generic couplings. We find that such an exact computation can
be important when formally subleading effects in commonly employed approximations are
We also examine the possibility of multiple sets of fermionic composites, departing from
minimal constructions.Our motivation is the model presented in [7], in which a five-
dimensional realization of a composite Higgs model with SO(5)/SO(4) symmetry breaking
pattern was shown to be fully compatible with electroweak precision tests, flavor observ-
ables, electroweak symmetry breaking and the observed dark matter relic abundance. The
non-minimal fermion sector of the model in [7] was indispensable in order to render its pre-
dictions compatible with experimental data. The goal of our article is to present an effective
four-dimensional description of composite Higgs models with a non-minimal fermionic con-
tent and discuss their electroweak and flavor constraints. We show that there are large
regions of parameter space in which composite Higgs models can provide a fully realistic
description of EWSB without fine tuning.
The paper is organized as follows. In section II we briefly review the effective description
of composite Higgs models with an SO(5)/SO(4) symmetry breaking pattern, including the
experimental constraints of minimal models. Section III is devoted to a description of the
relevant fermionic sector of the theory and its effects on electroweak precision observables
and flavor physics. In section IV we present exact one-loop expressions for electroweak
Page 4
and flavor precision observables which are valid in general extensions of the SM. The main
phenomenological implications of our model are discussed in section V, where we describe two
options for realistic composite Higgs models, a very simple one and a slightly more involved
one which is closer to the realistic examples we know from extra dimensions. Finally, we
conclude in section VI.
The low energy effective description of a composite Higgs model with SO(5)/SO(4) sym-
metry breaking pattern can be described by a scalar φ in the fundamental representation of
SO(5), subject to the constraint
φ2= f2,(1)
where f is the scale of the global symmetry breaking, assumed to be somewhat larger than
the EWSB scale v ≈ 174 GeV. The first four components of φ, which transform as the
fundamental representation of SO(4), are denoted by?φ. The SU(2)L× U(1)Y subgroup
of SO(4) = SU(2)L× SU(2)R, where the hypercharge corresponds to the T3
weakly gauged.1The vacuum expectation value of?φ breaks the EW symmetry,
Rgenerator, is
From Eq. (1) we see that the ratio
sα≡ sinα ≡
measures the Higgs compositeness, i.e. how the vev of φ is split between?φ and φ5. Canonical
normalization of the different components in φ, expanded around its vev, requires a rescaling
of the physical Higgs
h → cosα h ≡ cαh,(4)
whereas the would be Goldstone bosons are not modified. This redefinition implies an
important feature of Higgs compositeness, namely that Higgs couplings to gauge bosons
are suppressed with respect to the couplings in the SM by the factor cα=
?1 − 2v2/f2.
1An extra U(1) group is required to generate the correct Weinberg angle, but it is irrelevant for the present
discussion and will be disregarded.
Page 5
In the case of fermions, the suppression factor depends also on the embedding of the SM
fermions in SO(5) representations [6, 15]. This suppression of the Higgs couplings affects the
quantum corrections to electroweak precision observables, leading to some sensitivity to the
ultraviolet cut-off [12]. The leading effect can be taken into account by replacing the Higgs
mass with an effective (heavier) Higgs in the SM expressions of the one-loop corrections to
the electroweak precision observables,
mEWPT,eff= mh(Λ/mh)s2
α, (5)
where Λ = 4πf/√NG= 2πf is the ultraviolet cut-off of our effective theory, NGbeing the
number of Goldstone bosons. This modification gives rise to an additional contribution to
the Peskin-Takeuchi [16] S and T parameters
where mh,refis the reference Higgs mass used in the electroweak fit and cW is the cosine of
the Weinberg angle.
Furthermore, custodial symmetry can naturally account for a suppressed contribution of
ultraviolet physics to the T parameter, but there is no reason not to expect a contribution
to the S parameter from higher dimensional operators. A reasonable estimate, assuming
that new physics couples linearly to the SM (otherwise this estimate should have an extra
loop suppression), is
?3 TeV
The combination of the two corrections, (6) and (7), results in a positive shift to the
S parameter and a negative shift to the T parameter. We show in Fig. 1 the current
constraints on the S and T parameters, assuming a Higgs mass mh= 120 GeV. We also
show the contributions from Higgs compositeness and UV physics for different values of sα.
These constraints are obtained as follows. For reasons that will become apparent in the next
section, we have performed a fit to all the relevant electroweak observables, allowing the S
and T parameters and an anomalous coupling of the bLquark to the Z, that we denote by
δgbL, to vary (note that we have set U = 0 in our fit, as it is expected to be vanishingly
small in our model).2In Fig. 1, we have fixed the optimal value of δgbL= −2.5 × 10−4,
2We use Ref. [17] for the fit updated to the most recent experimental data [18]. αs(mZ) = 0.1183 and

Posts Tagged 'IPL Hair Reduction System'
Hello ladies, today I have a special guest taking the reins at Just Nice Things. I hope you will make her feel very welcome particularly as her name is Helen too.
Helen is a really good friend of mine whom I've known for YEARS and she is behind a newly launched YouTube channel called Casual Beauty UK.
Helen has kindly agreed to trial a new at home IPL device called SmoothSkin Gold and post her progress over the next 12 weeks on Just Nice Things so if you are intrigued, read on and don't forget to subscribe to updates through Bloglovin' and of course, Helen's YouTube channel. Thank you, Helen!
Over the past few years hormones and the natural ageing process has caused me to sprout some rather unsettling facial hairs. I'm not talking hair of freak show bearded lady proportions, just a couple of rather thick dark hairs where there should be no hairs at all.
Other people assure me that they really aren't that bad and tare barely visible but I *know* they are there. Every time I look in a mirror I see them and every time I touch my face I can feel them. This has led to a rather ridiculous, time-wasting ritual of daily skin examination and hair plucking which I'd really like to stop ASAP.
I'd previously looked into professional permanent hair removal methods but they are scarily expensive. "How much to blast a small area of my face with a laser? That's the price per session for 12 sessions? I'll pass, thanks."
Well good things come in small(ish) packages so when I was asked to try the new at home SmoothSkin Gold IPL* hair reduction device for the face and body, I didn't need much arm-twisting.
Now don't get me wrong. The SmoothSkin Gold IPL is not cheap, but when you consider the fact that you can use it on your face and body and then compare the price to what you'd pay to a salon, you soon realise the colossal savings you will make. Add to that the cost of travel (car or public) to take you to your regular appointments and the time clocked up – quite frankly you'd be mad not to get one of these.
Let's take a closer look. The SmoothSkin IPL comes in a neat little box and is a sleek and shiny spaceage looking gadget that is simple to use and doesn't require any assembling. You can see exactly why in my very short video:
Once it's plugged in, you hold the head over your skin, press the button and with a flash and a pop the area is treated. It really is that simple.
So how did I get on for the first session?
As this was my first time using the product I read the instruction book cover-to-cover. This is essential to make sure you get the best results from your machine and don't cause your skin any damage through mis-use.
As with any new skin product I needed to do a patch test 24 hours before beginning treatment, which was useful to help me decide if I should use the regular or gentle setting (gentle definitely gentle). There is no need for gel and the SmoothSkin Gold is packed with 20,000 flashes, which apparently means can treat your body with this device for up to six years.
It also has a special Detect and Set feature, which automatically selects the right setting for you giving an accurate personalised treatment so there is no need to stop and change settings. The device is suitable for all but the darkest skin tones but not recommended for use on red, grey or very light hair.
I'm not going to lie – there is a pop of pain with each flash of the button but this fades after a couple of seconds and is replaced with a hot tingling feeling that soon passes (I say 'pain' but it's really more of a dull thud and it's more the surprise that gets you more than the actual sensation). You are supposed to avoid bright sunlight after treatment so I am carrying out my treatments in the evenings before bed.
The only drawback as far as I am concerned is that the treatment has to be carried out on shaved skin, which means no plucking, threading or waxing before, during or after the treatment. In order for the treatment to be effective the root of the hair needs to be in the hair follicle or the treatment won't work. (But then I am trying to break myself of the plucking cycle so why the bloody hell am I complaining any way?) I will report back after my next session. I've got to say, I'm really looking forward to being facial hair-free in 11 weeks time!
SmoothSkin Gold IPL is available from Boots priced at £299. For more information on SmoothSkin Gold, visit www.smoothskin.co.uk.
Two of the biggest names in hair removal have joined forces to bring you a super IPL system like no other – the Gillette Venus Naked Skin designed by Braun Intense Pulsed Light Hair Reduction System. Must they come up with such long names?
Any way! You'll know I'm no stranger to hair removal (having tried every method available) so I gladly accepted the Venus Naked Skin Challenge by Gillette to trial and document my findings of this at-home IPL system.
I am intrigued how this device will perform especially as I am a fervant fan of Gillette Venus razor blades and have been using Braun's epilators for years. These are two names I wholeheartedly trust.
Apparently I will see noticeable results after 6 sessions with regular use. It's designed for use on the legs, arms, bikini area and underarms, but is only suitable for certain skin types with dark hairs, like a lot of IPL devices.
Over the next 12 weeks I shall be sharing my views on Just Nice Things with videos and of course I will show you how it all works so check back in two weeks for my first round-up. Let me know if you have any burning questions (excuse the pun but you've got to admit it was a pretty good one!).
In the mean time, you can visit the official site here for more information.
The Gillette Venus Naked Skin designed by Braun Intense Pulsed Light Hair Reduction System is available from Boots and www.boots.com priced at £399.99.

Java 8 has been reengineered and the most significant enhancement in this release is Project Lambda Expressions for the Java Programming Language.
To be more comprehensive, the standout features of JDK 8 are Project Lambda the Nashorn JavaScript Engine and a new Date and Time API.
Al Hilwa is program director for software development research at IDC and he says that right now, with this release, the changes related to Lambda expressions are the most important single new thing in SE 8.
"Lambda should be seen as part of the drive to make Java attractive for use in parallel processing architectures. Other capabilities in SE 8, like the Streams API, are also focused on parallel processing, while others, like Project Nashorn's faster JavaScript engine, are about performance in server workloads," said Hilwa.
Jigsaw Modularization of Java
Hilwa looks ahead and says that Project Jigsaw, or the modularization of Java, is probably the most important next big thing to come in the next major Java release (Java 9), and it will be critical for Java effectively supporting new devices and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Principal analyst at Ovum Michael Azoff says that Java 8 will be "jumped on" by the software houses producing Java based applications/products.
"Many large organization users will delay upgrading to version 8 depending on availability of third party frameworks, libraries, and application servers having upgraded to the new release. The cost of a major upgrade can be prohibitive as internal certification and testing are necessary to measure any impact in the changeover on software applications," said Azoff.
All the libraries, frameworks, tools they have to be certified as compliant - and this is a long process.
Azoff continues, "Oracle's plan to split the platform overhaul across two versions goes back as far as two years ago and a key architectural reform planned for version 9 is Project Jigsaw, the modularization of the Java platform. However, Java 8 has Compact Profiles, which is an interim feature that allows developers to reduce the Java footprint before full modularization is available. Each of the three successive profiles is a superset of their predecessor (starting with compact1), with Java 8 Standard Edition (SE) a superset of compact3."
Functional Programming Foundations
Founder and CTO of JFrog Yoav Landman thinks that Java 8 is a big step forward for Java, bringing functional programming to the building blocks of the applications and libraries, and bringing Java closer to languages like Scala.
"It also promotes cleaner, easier-to-follow code. In that respect, Lambdas and Method References probably have the biggest impact on developers and introduce what I believe is the most substantial syntax changes to Java since Generics were introduced in Java 5," he said.
"Though the new functional aspects really change the way people code, coming from a strong Groovy background the new syntax changes are not new to JFrog. Still it is exciting to have them as part of the core language. Changes such as streams and optionals are also nice, removing the need to rely on external libraries. Of course, Java's policy to remain backward compatible also means that changes cannot be implemented across the board - but instead as additions. This results in some implications, for example: Map, still lag behind their functional implementation in other languages," added Landman.
How Will Developers Learn Java 8?
Oracle also conducting a worldwide tour of Java User Groups (JUGs) and plans to deliver educational events for nearly sixty JUGs in over twenty countries on six continents.
An updated Java SE 8 training curriculum will be available soon from Oracle to help developers transition to Java SE 8 and implement the latest platform enhancements.
The Last Word
The last word here comes from Ovum's Azoff when he says that Java 9 will complete the major overhaul of the Java platform but Java 8 has enough significant changes to keep developers occupied for years ahead.
