- Use it:
var iron_worker = require'iron_worker';console.logiron_workerparams;console.logiron_workerconfig;console.logiron_workertaskId;
Worker examples
You can find plenty of good worker examples here: iron_worker_examples
Queueing a Worker
var task_id = workertasksCreate'HelloWorld';
Worker should start in a few seconds.

News Detail
Teddi 32 Coming Soon
Teddi 32 is right around the corner, and just last week, the committee celebrated "100 Days 'til Teddi" throughout campus with a plethora of Teddi décor and free haircuts to promote the committee's "Pantene Beautiful Lengths" initiative.
Teddi 31 raised just under $51,000, and the committee is working hard to surpass that amount at Teddi 32, which will take place February 21 and 22, 2014.
At the Courage Bowl, the committee hosted a Sticky Lips BBQ tailgate fundraiser, sold Teddi mugs and apparel, and staged a 24-minute mini-dance marathon after Fisher's victory. They also held a "Trick Shots for Teddi" basketball tournament on November 7.
The co-captains of the alumni sub-committee, Jenna Curtis and Jenna Joensen, say there are still plenty of opportunities for alumni to become involved:
- Come to Teddi 32 to dance or volunteer. Alumni and their family and friends are always welcome!
- "Like" the Teddi Dance For Love Facebook page and follow them on Twitter (@TeddiDance4Love) and Instagram (TeddiDance4Love). The committee keeps those sites updated regularly to keep Teddi supporters informed of new developments all the time.
- Interested in being a corporate sponsor of Teddi 32? Let the committee know you're looking for a corporate sponsorship packet.
- Hair, hair, everywhere! Last year, the Locks of Love sub-committee collected just over 1,220 inches of hair. This year's sub-committee is called Beautiful Lengths, and they are taking hair donations of 8 inches or more. Get your hair cut by professional stylists and donate right at Teddi 32, or send it to the committee and it will be added to this year's total.
- Join the committee meeting on Wednesday nights in the COP room of the Campus Center.
For more information on Teddi 32, or to participate in any of the events leading up to it, visit the Teddi website or contact the committee at 585-385-7307 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Stay connected with the Fisher community! Update your contact information to hear about upcoming alumni events, news, and more!

Nike Air Tennis Shoe The size 10 Nike Air Tennis shoes run big for their size, but this size fits me. The grey and orange colors look great and the shoe feels good. January 24, 2015
sneakers are what you expect sneakers are fine but Dick's mailed them to me with the security device still attached. very disappointed with that. January 10, 2015
So far so good I got these shoes to play pickle ball because my cross trainers didn't grip enough on the indoor courts. These shoes felt good right out of the box and so far have proven to provide better stoping/starting action due to their tread design. Plus they look pretty cool. Size was pretty much right on. December 7, 2014
This shoe is not what I expected After getting my shoes, I was looking forward to wearing them. At the end of the day my feet were hurting. The shoes are not near as comfortable and cushioned as your description says. All I did was walk, did not run nor did I play any tennis. Very disappointed with shoes after spending nearly $100 on them November 11, 2014
nice shoes Great fit, I like the colors, I am a San Francisco Giant fan July 8, 2014
Sweet shoe comfortable fit for my wider than normal size 9 feet. Not engaged on heavy tennis since purchase but I am sure they will perform. June 24, 2014
Solid shoe I actually bought these to play basketball and they are very stable shoe. Wish they had more colors to choose from. But I am cutting better and my feet feel great after an hour every morning. May 21, 2014

Yeah, nowhere near worth it at full price, the yearly half-off call is coming up for me as well.
1 recommendation
Im just curious how you knew or how long. I tried that on one of my older units it worked fine for a couple of months then nothing. Is it a issue of them sending the signal once or is it repeated?
Paid Satellite Radio is a huge waste of money, the only time I have bothered with it is the free 6 months every time I buy a new car and even then I never use it. Sure they claim it is commercial free, with the exception of their own commercials. That information aside, all they play is the same damn songs over and over and over again. The next day they do something amazing, they switch the order of the songs they played the previous day.I went to Pandora One and have never looked back. Now I just wish Sirius would stop sending me 2 pieces of junk mail every single day.

Most Russian women, as well as Russians in general, are somewhat reserved. Do not be put off if the Russian woman you are courting seems a little standoffish.
This is appropriate behavior for a Russian woman. It does not mean that she does not like you. It means that she hardly knows you, which is true.
Beware if a Russian woman shows too much emotion too soon. Her feelings may not be genuine under these circumstances. Russians are not as outgoing as Americans, so do not be put off if she is not as outgoing as the girls back home. It is not their nature.
In general, the majority of Russian women have a difficult time expressing their feelings, so be patient.
Ukrainian women tend to be a little more outgoing than Russian women. Russians are more reserved. At the same time a Ukrainian wife is more likely to argue about things than a Russian wife.
Belarusian women are somewhat in between Russians and Ukrainians in personality. Of course, these are generalizations and every woman is different.
People in Russia do not show affection in public. Kissing, hugging, touching each other, and other displays of affection is supposed to happen behind closed doors.
Holding her hand while walking is considered appropriate. Opening car doors and other forms of courtesy is expected.
Do not talk about sex with a Russian woman. Sex is supposed to happen 'naturally'. It is not something you discuss like a medical operation.
The American habit of clinical discussion of sexual positions and preferences is considered abhorrent to Russians. Sex is supposed to be felt rather than discussed.
Once you are married, you may have to discuss sex in more detail, but a Russian woman has a preference for passion over technique. Show her your passion. Don't talk about it.

Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive Internet-based Distribution
In recent years, the proliferation of available video content and the popularity of the Internet have encouraged service providers to develop new ways of distributing content to clients. Increasing video scaling ratios and advanced digital signal processing techniques have led to Internet Video-on-Demand applications, but these currently lack efficiency and quality. "Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive Internet-based Distribution" examines how current video compression and streaming can be used to deliver high-quality applications over the Internet.In addition to analysing the problems of client heterogeneity and the absence of Quality of Service in the Internet, this book: assesses existing products and encoding formats; presents new algorithms and protocols for optimised on-line video streaming architectures; includes real-world application examples and experiments; and, sets out a practical 'toolkit' for Dynamically Reconfigurable Multimedia Distribution Systems. Written by an expert in the field of video distribution, "Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive Internet-based Distribution" provides a novel approach to the design and implementation of Video-on-Demand systems for Software Engineers and researchers. It will also be useful for graduate students following Electronic Engineering and Computer Science courses.

A majestic old oak tree, looked OK on the outside, but on the inside it was hollow and filled with rain water. A possible danger to folks as they stroll through the Howard Memorial Garden, it was felled last weekend. We didn't make it in time to see the old tree go down, but we arrived just after to take a few photos. The acreage across from the new hospital site is being landscaped with fruit trees and berry bushes. I understand that there will be walking trails and benches for the community someday in the future.

I find it humorous that this TV anchor almost completely melts down on LIVE TV.
On Sunday evening in Wyoming, near the South Dakota border stormchasers captured footage of what many call a 'Mothership' super-cell thunderstorm.
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH is in effect until 9pm tonight for parts of Minnesota including and north of Benton, Chisago, Pope, Sherburne, Stearns, Stevens, Swift, and Todd Counties. A TORNADO WATCH is in effect until 9pm south of St. Cloud including Anoka, Hennepin, Kandiyohi, Meeker, and Wright Counties.
There's a chance that today could be our first experience with severe weather this season. The forecast is calling for scattered thunderstorms, with the possibility of some of those storms being severe. We'll keep you up to date with any watches or warnings, so stay tuned to 103.7 The Loon and mobile at 1037TheLoon.com.
Powerful winds yesterday caused the ice to surge on the western side of the lake.
We're not to far from what can be severe weather that includes lightening, would that change your mind for outdoor activities if it's going on?
Heavy snow is expected to continue this evening, with 7-13" of accumulation expected in St. Cloud by morning, with higher amounts to the north & east. A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect through 1 am tonight, including St. Cloud, Little Falls, Brainerd, Foley, Milaca, and Princeton.
Plan on a cold and soggy day in St. Cloud on Wednesday. In fact, the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for just north & east of the St. Cloud area, in effect from 4 am Wednesday through 7 am Thursday for 4-8" of snow, including Little Falls, Brainerd, Milaca, and Princeton.
A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect for the St. Cloud area through 1 pm tomorrow afternoon. Storm totals of 6-12" are expected, with increasing winds causing hazardous travel tonight and tomorrow. Bookmark the Loon's interactive weather page for updates.
The National Weather Service has issued another Winter Storm Watch for the St. Cloud area; this one in effect Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon. What will begin as a wintry mix Wednesday night, is expected to change to all snow on Thursday, resulting in 6-12" of new accumulation across Central Minnesota.
A Winter Weather Advisory for the St. Cloud area remains in effect through 7:00 tomorrow morning. Rain will change to snow overnight, with accumulation up to 2" by tomorrow morning. A Blizzard Warning is in effect just west of the St. Cloud Area, including Alexandria and Fergus Falls.
The Winter Storm Watch issued by the National Weather Service for the St. Cloud area for Monday has been cancelled. Warmer air is expected to produce a mainly rainy and blustery day across the area. Heavy snow is still expected for parts north tomorrow.

The employer mandate delay will have little effect on Obamacare
By Linda J. Blumberg and John Holahan Judy Feder :: February 11th, 2014
The Obama administration yesterday announced further delays in the so-called "employer-mandate." This provision of the Affordable Care Act would assess penalties on large employers not providing adequate, affordable insurance coverage to their workers if any of their full-time employees obtained subsidized coverage through a Marketplace. Some political controversy surrounded last summer's first employer mandate delay, but, as we wrote then, such a move is unlikely to have much impact on the implementation of Obamacare.
In fact, the penalties are neither a driving force behind expanding coverage nor an important source of federal revenue. This excerpt is from our July post:
As we have explained elsewhere, there is very little in the ACA that changes the incentives facing employers that already offer coverage to their workers, and fully 96 percent of employers with 50 or more workers already offer coverage today. Competition for labor, the fact that most employees get greater value from the tax exclusion for employer sponsored insurance than they would from exchange-based subsidies, and the introduction of a requirement for individuals to obtain coverage or pay a penalty themselves, are the major factors that will keep the lion's share of employers continuing to do just what they do today with no requirements in place to do so.
Lessons from the Massachusetts health reform experience are instructive here as well. The Massachusetts law has substantially lower penalties for non-offering employers than does the ACA – the Massachusetts Fair Share Requirement is a maximum of $295 per worker, compared to a potential ACA maximum of $2,000 per worker. However, nominal as those assessments are, employer-sponsored insurance actually increased post-reform, as our analyses done prior to implementation predicted. This increase in employer based coverage was the consequence of individuals facing a new requirement to obtain insurance coverage and deciding their preferred source of coverage if they had to get it was their employer.
Throughout the development and the implementation of the ACA, there has been more worry than warranted that employers will drop insurance coverage. The current furor over the delay of the employer penalties appears to be more of the same. With or without the penalties, most people will still get coverage through their employers; the fundamental structure of the law will remain intact.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:

How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.

The Establishment is scared of Cruz
Real scared. There is no reason for this post to be downvoted. I sense establishment trolls. I understand the dislike for Goldman Sachs. But she's not on the board of directors not on the executive committee, not even the management committee.
Ted Cruz is the real deal. Comments on here are saying the filibuster was bad? Are you shitting me? That just gave a huge boost to the Republicans in light of the disaster.

Cal boats seaworthiness
In the book "Twenty Boats you can take anywhere", the Cal 20 is towards the bottom of the heap, but still, its in the book. And another chart I researched listed the Lapworth 24 as a very stable boat, though I''m not sure how this boat compares to the Cal 24/25 of the late 60''s. Being on a tight budget, I would like to know what opinions there are re: the seaworthiness of both the Cal 20 and the 25 -- thanks, bob adams, cape vincent ny
Cal boats seaworthiness
I race on a Cal 25 quite frequently. These are nice little boats. They can often be found for sale quite inexpensively and nciely equipped. For the dollars there are few small boats that offered a better balance of accomodations, and sailing ability for the dollars. They are really a hoot to race as they are pretty evenly matched in speed between a highly prepped one and one ''off the shelf.
All of that said, in stock form these are really not my idea of a ''boat to go anywhere". There are a number of reasons that I say this but most are related to the risk of downflooding in a knockdown or following sea. There is a big notch in the transom for the outboard that means the risk of flooding the cockpit in a following sea or even a powerboat wake as we have done. When combined with the cockpit sole level companionway and open sail lockers and poptop on some of these boats, Well you get the picture. Obviously these can be corrected but not easily.

... them up to the light like stained glass windows, I wish I had more.
After a morning cycle on the beach, we sadly depart for our final stay at the Z hotel in Nungwi. It is larger but the ocean is magnificent & our rooms allow for magnificent views. Will is completing his next Scuba stage with the very slick East Africa Diving Co. & we are relaxing by the pool/beach awaiting our massage. ...
Close to perfection
... looking forward to.
We finish the evening with a delicious dinner in an Ethiopian restuarant. We are escorted home through the dark alleyways for the 15 minute walk. The local lads are watching soccer with great enthusiasm & cats roam the streets. Early to bed to enjoy our last night in the sultan's suite. Our 5am wake up from the nearby mosque adds to the mystique. A beautiful stay.

How we fight poverty
The injustice of poverty demands a powerful and practical response to address both its causes and its impact on peoples' lives.
Jump to navigation
Nearly 4 million people remain in urgent need in South Sudan following the conflict that broke out in December 2013. Over 1.9 million people have fled their homes and are displaced within the country and over 467,000 have fled to neighboring countries. We have reached more than 360,000 people with life saving essentials, but we urgently need to reach more.
Four years after the beginning of the conflict in Syria the war shows no sign of abating. Massive numbers of people have fled conflict areas and are now living in inadequate shelter within Syria or in neighboring countries.
Speaking at a press conference at the Rio+20 Summit, Barbara Stocking, Chief Executive, Oxfam GB said:

Easter Egg Hunt (Rained Out - see New Date below)
Join us at Ayden's District Park on Jolly Road Saturday,April 4th for our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Games and a coloring contest kicks off the event at 10 a.m., the egg hunt at 11:30 a.m., and relay races at noon. Prize eggs will be offered for each age group: 2 to 4 years old, 5 to 7 years old and 8 to 10 years old. Children must bring their own Easter baskets. All food plate proceeds will benefit the Ayden Police Department's Shop With a Cop program. If it rains, the event will be held on Saturday, April 4th. For more information, please contact Tommy Duncan at 481-5837.
Temporary Conversion to Chlorine
Beginning March 16 and continuing until April 20, the Town of Ayden will temporarily change the disinfectant used in the water treatment process from chloramines to chlorine during this four-week period.
Since March 2009, the Town of Ayden has used chloramines, a mixture of chlorine and ammonia, as the disinfectant in its water treatment process. Chloramines are an effective disinfectant and also reduce the level of by-products that are regulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency. State drinking water guidelines recommend that water systems using chloramines periodically switch back to free chlorine (chlorine alone) for a minimum of four weeks. This brief, scheduled change in disinfectant is a standard water treatment practice to keep water mains clean and free of potentially harmful bacteria throughout the year.
During the temporary switch to free chlorine, customers may notice a slight change in the taste or smell of their tap water. The mild chlorine taste and smell is normal and poses no health risk. Most customers will not need to take any precautions as the water remains safe to drink and is treated according to both state and federal standards. People and businesses that normally take special precautions to remove chloramines from tap water, such as dialysis centers, medical facilities and aquatic pet owners, should continue to take the same precautions during the temporary switch from chloramines to free chlorine.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Kevin Cox, Ayden Water & Sewer Superintendent, at (252) 481-5828.
Town of Ayden Featured On National T.V.
The Town of Ayden is proud to announce that it has been featured on national television on The Discovery Channel. The Town appeared on Viewpoints with Terry Bradshaw and is recognized as being "One of America's Best Small Communities to Raise a Family."
Ayden officials had previously been contacted by United States Media Television, Inc., a television show production company based in Florida, about being featured in a short documentary about the Town and its charming qualities. The segment featuring the Town appeared on the Discovery Channel on August 2, 2013 and will continue to appear throughout 15 major markets across the southeast and Atlantic of the United States.

originally published by: The Burnley Express
14th February 2010
A hard hitting documentary detailing the death in custody of Burnley teenager Adam Rickwood hopes to shed new light on his alleged suicide.
News of the yet-to-be released social drama entitled "Adam Rickwood and The Medomsley Heroes" comes as Adam's mum, Carol Pounder, visited the High Court to demand a new coroner for a second inquest into her son's death.
Adam became the youngest person to die in British penal custody at the age of 14 when he was found hanged at the Hassockfield Secure Training Centre in County Durham, in 2004.
In May, 2007, a month-long inquest found Adam had deliberately taken his own life. But Mrs Pounder took the matter to the High Court and Lord Justice Blake ruled Adam had been unlawfully restrained, which has led to a second inquest.
Now Mrs Pounder believes Durham Coroner Andrew Tweddle, who conducted the first inquest, should not preside over the second inquest as he refused to rule on the legality of physical restraint methods used on Adam first time around. The family is now awaiting the judge's decision.

Up is Down: Media Ignores Romney's Successes in Overseas Trip
What was the most striking thing about Mitt Romney's overseas trip this week? Says Powerline, the most striking thing is the "hypercritical" coverage given the trip by the American press. In what could only be seen by an unbiased person as a success, Romney's trip has instead been reported as a gaffe-filled mess.
Romney's non-controversy comments about the Olympics aside, the worst part of the coverage was all the attention the Old Media lavished on the absurd claim from a member of the Palestinian Authority that Romney was a "racist" for his comments about Israeli culture in comparison to Palestinian.
In a very well received speech to fundraisers in Jerusalem, Romney noted that there is a "dramatic, stark difference in economic vitality" between Israel and the Palestinian held areas.
In citing the work of author David Landes, who wrote the book The Wealth and Poverty of Nations, Romney said, "If you could learn anything from the economic history of the world, it's this: Culture makes all the difference."
"As I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things."
This is a no-brainer comment. It is flat out obvious that the nihilistic, violent culture of PLA held areas is not conducive to prosperity. Who cannot see this? Most everyone in Israel saw this as a no-brainer and Romney's speech was widely hailed as welcome sentiment compared to the arms-length treatment they've gotten from President Obama.
Powerline also notes that there are parallels elsewhere. This culture question is correct, "much as America's culture explains its economic advantages over Mexico." For that matter, Canada's culture explains its success over Mexico's.
But the Old Media focused entirely on the so-called "outrage" of the Palestinians over what they call Romney's "racist" comments instead of Romney's successes.
It seems amazing that anyone ever reports on Palestinian "outrage," to be sure. When are Palestinians not "outraged" over one thing or another?
Powerline goes on to say, "The Palestinian objection was silly, and here is a news flash for American media: Romney isn't angling for the Palestinian-American vote."
The media establishment also gave short shrift to the warm welcome Romney received in Poland. I suppose that Lech Walesa giving Romney a warm endorsement doesn't mean much to the American Media. Walesa's just a Cold War hero, is all, but probably one most of the media never heard of.
If Romney didn't understand it before, he's got to understand now that the American media will do anything it can to destroy him in order to help Barack Obama to get reelected.
Finally, it must be noted that Obama has never visited Israel as President. One has to wonder why that is?

He has used that music to explore themes like the Holocaust, cloning, and the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.

In practice, however, the locality and performance benefits of using aggressive garbage collection techniques dominates any low-level losses.
So what is it, exactly, that causes the performance gain when using garbage collection as opposed to manually managing memory? (besides the obvious decrease in code writing time) Is the benefit solely that performing heap compaction increases spatial locality and cache utilization? Or is there something else that helps more, like deleting everything at once?
