Radio site transformation – time to rethink high-capacity radio site design
More than ever, operators are being pressured by capacity demands, driven by unprecedented consumer use of smartphones and tablets. Multi-standard networks (2G to 4G and later 5G) that use multiple frequency bands and layers (small cells and Wi-Fi) are being deployed in order to meet these demands. However, to meet these requirements in a cost-effective and energy-efficient way, operators need to consider completely new approaches to radio site design and building practice.
3G smartphones – optimizing user experience and network efficiency
Global adoption of smartphones is accelerating rapidly, and the way people use these devices in mobile networks is changing too. Voice no longer dominates: today's smartphone users are most interested in internet browsing, social media, instant messaging and mobile app usage.
Wholesale network sharing – evolving the model
New ways are needed to address the issues of spectrum availability, shortage of licenses, tougher competition in the telecom sector and global financial pressure. A wholesale network-sharing model based on cooperation with a third party could unlock added value for operators, stimulating competition and overall market growth.
Measuring and improving network performance - an analysis of network and application research, testing and optimization
In today's data-driven networks, good app coverage is central to the user experience, especially in emerging markets. Yet it remains hard to measure properly.
Broadband in India – realizing the vision
In its National Telecom Policy 2012 (NTP-2012), the Government of India set out its vision, objectives and targets to extend the reach of broadband in the country over the coming years. Delivering this vision, and meeting the ambitious targets for coverage and data speeds, will require significant attention to factors on both the supply side and the demand side.
Heterogeneous networks - securing excellent mobile broadband user experience, everywhere
In the Networked Society, mobile broadband traffic and user expectations are growing exponentially. Operators need to provide sufficient radio network capacity and coverage to ensure that they can secure future competitiveness by delivering a consistent, high-quality experience that builds customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. With excellent 'baseline' mobile broadband coverage and capacity, particularly indoors, operators can also address value-added opportunities in cloud-, IMS- and packet core-based services, especially for enterprises.
Machine-to-machine – exploring potential operator roles
With the emergence of ubiquitous broadband, mobility and cloud technologies, more companies are discovering the advantages of connectivity. Enterprises can create efficiencies and develop new services by connecting more of their assets, businesses and processes. From an operator perspective, this development provides an opening for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication offerings that can generate new revenues.
It all comes back to backhaul – solutions supporting superior end-to-end QoE in heterogeneous network deployments
Adding radio network capacity and coverage through the deployment of small cells as part of a heterogeneous network requires a higher degree of backhaul flexibility. Operators should strike a balance between installing sites in the right place with sufficient backhaul capacity and delay, and the need to deliver additional capacity and coverage in the right timeframe and at the right cost.
Spectrum sharing – fast-track capacity with Licensed Shared Access
Spectrum is fundamental to the success of mobile wireless communications. In recent years, it has been difficult to add new spectrum due to incumbent or legacy use. Shared spectrum opens opportunities to unlock additional, currently underutilized, spectrum for mobile broadband, in situations when incumbent or co-primary use does not diminish the value of that spectrum to the mobile operator. This is important because clearing this underused spectrum for exclusive use by the mobile industry would not be possible within reasonable time frames.
App coverage - rethinking network performance for smartphones
As smartphones and tablets became the access devices of choice, mobile user behavior has undergone a fundamental shift from being predominantly voice-centric to data-centric – or, more accurately, app-centric. To provide for this, operators need new ways to assess performance and the quality of the user experience that enables operators to build and manage their networks in the most efficient, targeted and profitable way.


text: I've been on many discussion groups in my time and I continue to be amazed at the true depth of sincerity and well...love that we have on this board. There are NPR situations presented where people lay out their daily troubles which would normally get the low-lifes flinging uglies just because they have nothing else they can offer, but not this bunch of people. Whether it is problems "of the romantic heart" or perils of health, everyone here is genuinely in tune, and I find that worthy of a post of it's own. Everyone here now or coming tomorrow to visit this board should be proud of being a part of this group, I know I am...sid

Staff maintain their classroom.
Attend scheduled professional development activities at various locations eg Broome, Fitzroy Crossing.
Hurtling down a somewhat muddy track, following the extremely dirty rear of a troopie 2 thoughts flashed through my mind: 1. Were we going to make it through without getting bogged? And 2. What on earth had I got myself into?
Thankfully we did make it through that particular adventure and since then I have learnt as much as the students I have taught. Working at Yakanarra Community School has been the best experience of my life. From the first moment I arrived I felt welcomed by the community, students and the other staff at the school.
The kids I teach are very warm, friendly and affectionate. What you see is what you get most of the time. If they like something they let you know, and other hand they also let you know if they don't like it. They are constantly curious about the world and often learn best when they are doing something. Most of them, even the littlies, are autonomous and have strong ideas about life. They are also extremely caring and loving towards each other and the teachers.
Life out in a remote community is certainly never boring and 'expect the unexpected' has become my motto. Some of the more interesting experiences I have had include watching a snake go over a sleeping dog, seeing 20 kids chasing a bull away from the school grounds whilst shouting 'bullaman, bullaman' at the top of their lungs and playing in a torrential downpour that resulted in a flash-flood.

Why you need a hybrid network while migrating to SDN
While migrating to software-defined networking, hybrid SDN and traditional networks must support both physical and virtual switching environments.
Should you start with implementing hybrid networks on your way to SDN migration?

Unless you are building a new network (a greenfield application deployment), the introduction of software-defined networking (SDN) products and protocols will involve the migration from a traditional network to include hybrid SDN capabilities. This means the new network must be designed to support SDN protocols on both physical and virtual switching environments, with a management framework to support both.
A hybrid network provides the advantage of offering enterprise IT a gradual migration from its current network architecture. This means the ability to leverage existing Layer 2 and Layer 3 physical networks without having to rip and replace the network. Hybrid SDN and traditional networking will appeal to IT organizations looking to gain the benefits of SDN, which include improved provisioning, network flexibility, Quality of Service (QoS) and programmability during the SDN migration.
The majority of SDN vendors have architectures and products that support a gradual migration from traditional networks to SDN, including Cisco, HP, IBM, Juniper, Brocade, Avaya, VMware, Big Switch, ADARA Networks, Embrane, Pertino, Pluribus Networks, Vello Systems and many other suppliers. Buyers should carefully evaluate a specific vendor's ability to migrate their network from its current state to SDN.

|Linda Hoover hands out notebooks and pencils to children at the Khaki Afghan refugee camp near the city of Mansehra, Pakistan.
Love of travel and adventure leads to foreign service career
By Nancy Wesenberg
Beneath Linda Hoover's professional exterior — dark suit and sleek haircut — lurks the spirit of an adventurer. For proof, just ask her about the list of cities with Foreign Service posts on which she last bid in the fall of 2005. They included Beirut, Tripoli, Sarajevo, Islamabad and Khartoum.
"This was the first time I didn't have to worry about taking my children along," explained Hoover, who has worked in the U.S. State Department's Foreign Service for the past 14 years and has a son and a daughter. "They were both in college by then."
In 2006 Hoover was posted to Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan. She works for the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM), which she said is one of the smaller bureaus within the State Department. She is the refugee coordinator at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, monitoring and evaluating nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) whose health, education, water and sanitation projects are funded by the United States for the benefit of Afghan refugees in Pakistan.
In April, just after returning from a trip to Afghanistan to review settlement options for returnees, she returned to the United States to see family and friends for a few weeks, and en route from Illinois to northern Wisconsin she stopped at UW-Eau Claire to talk about her most recent posting and her career in the Foreign Service.
"I love my job," Hoover said. "It's exciting, depressing, frustrating and wonderful."
According to Hoover, there are still some 2.2 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan. They first started coming about 28 years ago when the former Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.
"The border between Afghanistan and Pakistan the Durand Line is very fluid, very porous," Hoover said. "So there are close links between the two populations, and some are ethnically related."
Hoover works closely with the United Nations High Commission-er for Refugees, which assists host countries working with refugees and migrating populations. She said the G-8 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States), along with the European Union, are involved in donating funds to help Afghans who have been displaced, and they are working to establish new townships back in Afghanistan as they continue to repatriate.
"PRM funds a number of NGO projects that are working to provide basic services like water, sanitation, housing, roads, schools and clinics, both in Pakistan and Afghanistan," Hoover said. "I visit projects here to monitor how the funds are being spent and see the education, clinics and water source programs that are being implemented. There is also an emphasis on training the Afghans to help themselves."
For example, Hoover said she had recently attended the opening of a new obstetrics health clinic where they were training birth attendants to deliver babies. Save the Children rehabilitated an old clinic, which now serves several Afghan refugee camps as well as neighboring Pakistani women.
"Some of these projects reach so many people for so little money," Hoover said. "I have enormous respect for these NGOs. They really know how to stretch a dollar."
Save the Children, Mercy Corps, Church World Service, the American Refugee Committee and the International Medical Corps are just a few of the organizations with whom Hoover works.
In her free time, Hoover and her husband, Darek, an engineer also employed by the State Department, socialize with some of the NGO staffers, members of the U.K. and Canadian high commissions, Embassy staff, and some Afghans and Pakistanis.
"This is the first post where we couldn't have visitors from home because of the danger," Hoover said.
Still, Hoover said she and Darek enjoy living in Islamabad, and she has already signed on to extend her stay by another year. She explained that while most Foreign Service postings are for two to three years, those in more dangerous or "hardship" areas are usually just one-year commitments, unless officers volunteer to stay longer.
"There is a saying that Islamabad is about 20 miles outside of Pakistan," Hoover said, explaining that the city is quite modern in comparison to the rest of the country. It was built in the northeastern part of the country in the 1960s to replace Karachi as Pakistan's capital, so it is a carefully planned city, laid out in a grid with different sectors and zones: the diplomatic enclave, commercial district, educational sector, industrial area and so on.
Temperatures in the city range from a daytime low of about 70 degrees to as high as 105 or more.
Hoover and her husband live in an older residential area of the city, and, for safety reasons, their movements are somewhat restricted.
"We are only allowed to drive within the city limits we go to the market to pick up fruits and vegetables, for instance but when we go anywhere outside the city we have drivers."
Hoover has learned a smattering of Urdu, just one of the languages spoken in Pakistan, but she usually travels with a translator for her work.
Hoover's interest in foreign languages and travel date back to her years at UW-Eau Claire, where she majored in German and minored in English for secondary teaching. During that time she went to Germany for a summer and ended up staying a whole year.
"This was before the European Union was formed, and it was easier for Americans to work in Europe in those days," Hoover said.
After she returned to UW-Eau Claire, receiving her bachelor's degree in 1976, Hoover's desire for travel and adventure led her to teach English in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Eventually she married, settled down to raise a family, and taught high school German and English in the Midwest for a while.
But as her children grew, so did Hoover's desire for more exciting work, and for some time she worked in the international division of a musical instrument company.
"I had always been interested in the Foreign Service, but somehow I always thought diplomats must be very special people a breed apart," she said.
Finally, though, Hoover decided to go for it. She went to her local library to get information about the Foreign Service and signed up for exams. In 1993 Hoover was informed that the Foreign Service wanted her, and she moved her family to Washington, D.C., for a 10-month training period. Her children were in the third and sixth grades at the time.
Hoover's first tour of duty, with cycles that run summer to summer, was in Warsaw, Poland, from 1994 to 1996, when Poland was dealing with privatization in a pre-European Union environment. There she performed different kinds of consular work, learning her new profession. Her next tour, from 1996 to 1998, was in Frankfurt, Germany, and 1998 to 2000 found her back in Warsaw, following economic trends to report to Washington, working to further the policy goals of the United States, and dealing with everything from cell phone ranges to Poland's efforts to join the European Union. From 2000 to 2004 she was again in Germany, this time in Munich, where she became a section head responsible for seeing to the welfare of the more than 100,000 U.S. citizens living in Bavaria at the time, from private citizens to military personnel. Issues for her section included passports, consular reports of births and deaths of Americans, and international custody battles.
The typical Foreign Service career, according to Hoover, involves working about 60 percent overseas and 40 percent at the State Department, so from the summer of 2004 to that of 2006, she worked in Washington, D.C., as a desk officer in charge of the American citizen service units in East and West Africa, covering 14 to 20 countries.
"You have to be available for worldwide service," Hoover said, explaining the change from European postings to her desk service covering Africa.
Hoover said she would recommend the Foreign Service to any UW-Eau Claire graduates interested in foreign languages and cultures.
"In your first two tours you do all kinds of different things," Hoover said. "But then you typically pick an area to specialize in political, economic, consular, management or public affairs work and stay in that area for most of your career. My career, however, hasn't really been typical," she said, smiling.

Monmouth Park Haskell 8-02
Heading to a Residence Inn in(sic) Tinton Falls 8/1-4th. Any Track, Local eateries and purveyors beyond Whole Foods in Red Bank appreciated. We eat anything well done. Thanks
I can burn a lot of food for you. But I suppose you really mean food done well.
There are a lot of excellent places in the area. If you can narrow it down some, casual vs dressy, cuisine types, ocean view vs edible, distance, price range, you'll get a couple dozen recommendations before you can blink.
re: cantkick
Done well, indeed. Casual, all cuisine but sushi, edible, 10+/- miles from Tinton Falls, inexpensive to moderate (30 -60$ for two w/o wine), BYOB is great, takeout is fine also.
A butcher, farmers market and bakery suggestions if available. We'll be at Monmouth Park Sunday, haven't been for five years, Grandstand food may have improved, any recent experiences appreciated.
re: checkplease
I'll throw out a couple. Assuming you are talking about dinner, for "done well" and "casual" I would do either Dish in Red Bank or Belford Bistro in Belford (Middletown). Both are BYOB and are within 10 miles of Tinton Falls. As far as a farmers' market, while you don't give a day, I will assume you mean Sunday and will suggest the one at the Galleria in Red Bank. Although I can't suggest a butcher, I will recommend that you give Flakey Tart in Atlantic Highlands a try. It's just a tad out of your way but is regarded as the best baked goods in the area. Good Luck and enjoy your stay.
re: bgut1
bgut, good recommendations, but a little far. Staying in the area, you could do Applebees or Redheads right by your hotel, but I assume you want better than that. On 35 south is Wegman's, an upscale supermarket with an excellent prepared meals section, as well as excellent produce, bakery, etc. In Long Branch neat the track, there are plenty of places on Broadway, many of them Latin. On Brighton Ave, a little farther south, are a few more good places. Surf Taco the most popular place there, but you have a lot of choices.
For Mexican, I like Don Chucos on 35, just north of Deal Avenue, or Agave Grill, on Branchport just north of 36. For Asian, Far East Taste or Thai Chillies on 35 north of 36, near McD and Wendy. Cobblestone Diner is very good, the best in the vicinity in my opinion.
And of course there's White Castle. :)
This is just a sampling, of course. There is a lot to pick from.
I'd suggest staying away from the Pier Village. It'll be packed and not that great food. Nice views, though. In fact, the whole waterfront will be a real zoo. Many good choices, but locals avoid it on the weekend.
re: cantkick
Cant - The OP did say 10 miles. :) As far as your recommendations, while many are solid, I would avoid Applebees like the plague. Too many good choices abound to eat that @#$%.
re: cantkick
My bad ... sorry.
re: cantkick
Nice to know I'm appreciated. :) Thank you.
As far as markets, there are both Sickles in Little Silver and Delicious Orchards in Colts neck.
For dining there is a lot to offer. Here is a listing of Monmouth County Dining establishments. You can sort it by location or cuisine (Heck, you can sort by Phone number...)
re: equal_Mark
Thanks for all the suggestions. A fine weekend to all.
re: checkplease

Video:How to Do an Edgy Shoulder-Length Cutwith Angela Keith
Looking to add some life to those long layers? Chop your hair into the edgy shoulder length cut showcased in this styling video from About.com and feel like a new you.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Do an Edgy Shoulder-Length Cut
Hi I am Angela Keith a professional stylist from Houston, Texas, and here today for About.com I am going to show you how to do an edgy shoulder length cut.
Hair Styling Tools that You Will Need
To achieve this style I will need a blowdryer with a nozzle, working hairspray, a comb, a medium size round brush and some shears.
Cutting the Hair to Shoulder Length
I am going to start by parting the hair down the middle of the back of the hair make sure to hold the hair straight down for no elevations, to cut the sides hold the head straight up. I will start by sectioning out the top for the front and to cut a few long layers to help give volume.
Adding the Finishing Touches
I am going to blow dry the hair with my hand to get it 80% dry. My model already has some fringe cut, I am going to cut that a little shorter, and do some texturizing and point cut to chop up the layers a bit to make more movement and volume. I'm holding the hair straight out and point cutting will achieve a look of having more layers and movement. I am cutting the fringe or bangs a little shorter to make a statement instead of just having the hair blending in. I used a bit of working hairspray to help hold and give the hair more texture. That is how to get achieve an edgy shoulder length hair cut.

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen

Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
ground beef
1 (10.75 ounce) can
Campbell's® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
1/2 cup
Pace® Chunky Salsa
8 (8 inch)
flour tortillas, warmed
2 cups
shredded lettuce
As written this gets a 1 or 2. Brown the ground beef with onion. Add taco seasoning mix 1 from this site (1/4 cup), then add the salsa and soup mixture. Top the taco with sour cream, tomatoes, cheese and taco sauce. Now you have a winner.
These were simple enough, but had absolutely no flavor at all. Very bland. I would not recommend anyone try this recipe as there are actually good ones out there, this isn't one of them!

added taco seasoning, easy and delicious.
pretty decent for a "repurpose" meal. Meaning this. As I already had some leftover taco meat made up from the night before, I used it when adding to the rest of the ingredients. And after I got to the steps of the soup...well I thought it was a can of Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup. It wasn't, it was the Fiesta Nacho Cheese, but it worked. I mixed the soup and salsa together before adding to the meat. Because I also realized I didn't have quite a pound of meat leftover. So I just added to the meat until I thought was right Which was 3/4th of the 2 ingredients combined. Had I added the whole bit, it would have been too soupy~like to do on tortillas. Now having said that. The meat, soup and salsa makes a great chip dip. (if all ingredents are combined) So where others lacked flavor, there probably a reason mine didn't. It had the spice of the taco seasoning in the meat and the cheese soup mix already had flavor as well as the salsa. So taking into consideration on those factors, I'd make again but using the extra enhanced flavors as I did to make this quick fix repurposed lunch from leftovers. Also, ya still need the extra fixings...tomatoes, onions, shredded cheese, olives, jalapenos to make it the bomb.
I added some black beans to this. Couldn't be easier but was just 'ok'.
I left out the salsa and added taco seasoning and about a 1/3 cup of milk it was very good.
A bit flavorless. I would add taco seasoning, peppers, and something that has heat. Kinda bland
I made these just like it said except I added galic salt and some chopped poblanos , that I needed to use up. Really good! A little cheese, green onion, cilantro and we were good to go! Seved with spanish rice and beans. Delish!! Thank you Campbells. MMM Good:)

COLUMBIA CITY — Registration remains open for those students looking to attend T.R.O.Y. Center, an alternative eduction program.
Although the school accepts students throughout the 2013-14 year, the deadline to apply for the School Choice Scholarship is Monday.
Nikki Trier, T.R.O.Y. Center's administrator, said the scholarship could possibly cover the complete tuition fee of approximately $5,000.
However, parents need to be in touch with T.R.O.Y. Center as soon as possible in order to register by the scholarship deadline.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's Redevelopment Commission (RDC) met Tuesday afternoon to discuss the possibility of changing the boundaries of the downtown area's Tax Increment Funding (TIF) District.
"We're making sure properties that are legally supposed to be in there are there, and the ones that aren't are taken out," said Kevin Snell of Columbia City's RDC.
Snell said when the TIF District was adopted in 1993, some properties were put in the area in error.
COLUMBIA CITY— A man who had sex with a 14-year-old girl received a five-year prison sentence Monday.
Bradley Kincaid, 21, will serve three of his five years in the Indiana Department of Corrections (DOC) and have the remaining two suspended.
Kincaid's attorney, Whitley County Public Defender Brad Voelz, said his client should receive a short sentence because of his admission of guilt early and remorse over his crime.
"He's maintained consistent employment, and has no relevant criminal history," Voelz said.
COLUMBIA CITY — The 2014 budget for Whitley County Consolidated Schools is under review by the Board of Trustees.
WCCS Business Manager Tony Zickgraf released the proposal to the school board at Monday's meeting.
"We encourage each of you to meet with the superintendent and myself with any questions you have about the budget," Zickgraf said.
Zickgraf and his staff put several months into the budget project, which will be open to public discussion at the Sept. 3 board meeting.
COLUMBIA CITY— A Columbia City woman received an eight-year sentence for a crime her own attorney referred to as "stupid."
Krystal Thornsbearry was ordered to serve four years of her eight-year sentence at the Whitley County Jail for dealing a Schedule I, II or III controlled substance.
Thornsbearry's attorney, Brad Voelz, said his client had several positive traits to offer society.
"Krstyal has no drug history and has a good employment history," he said. "She said this was the dumbest thing she's ever done. I agree, it was dumb."
Jason Traxler, store manager for Dunham's Sports, in Columbia City, officially cuts the ribbon to open the store to the public Friday morning.
Dunham's now occupies the former Scott's building, which has been empty for several years.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City senior Seth Kissinger is stepping off the football field and putting on his running shoes this fall.
After playing most of his high school career with the pigskin, he made a tough decision to leave the squad and join cross country this fall.
"It was a hard decision," Kissinger said. "I had to ask myself what the better option was for my future."
Kissinger took on the 800-meter run last spring in track and wanted to make running a more year-round practice to increase his chances of a scholarship.
COLUMBIA CITY — There's more to outfitting a sports team than color selection.
For area high schools acquiring sports uniforms their athletes need provides myriads of options.
Some school districts, such as Smith-Green Community Schools (SGCS), make a formal contract with an athletic company.
SGCS just signed a three-year uniform agreement with Adidas.
Other districts do not enter into contracts in that sense and work with a variety of different companies.
Whitko Athletic Director Casey Stouffer said a variety of companies work with the school to provide Wildcat apparel.
LARWILL — Celebrating 159 years, Squawbuck Days returns to Larwill this weekend.
The three-day event is sponsored by the Larwill Firemen, Lions Club and the Richland Township Community Association, and is a joint fundraiser to raise money for the community.
Festivities will begin Friday at 4 p.m. with a tenderlion dinner at the town's fire department. The Larwill Lions Club will host a night of bingo at 7 p.m.

If you are a Java developer, this guide provides an overview of options for connecting to Neo4j. While this guide is not comprehensive, it will introduce the different APIs and link to the relevant resources.
You should be familiar with the graph database concepts and the property graph model. Having installed Neo4j and tried out our Cypher Query language helps too. When developing with Neo4j, please use JDK 7 and your favorite IDE.
Neo4j for Java Developers
Neo4j offers a rich set of integration possibilities for Java or JVM-language developers.
There are two ways of using Neo4j from the JVM. The standalone Neo4j Server can be installed on any machine and then accessed via its HTTP API. You can use any REST library you choose for any JVM language. The dedicated Neo4j drivers go beyond that by offering comprehensive APIs for integrating with graph-based applications.
But you can also run Neo4j embedded in your JVM process, much like HSQL or Derby. This is great for unit testing, but also for high performance / no-network setups. If you use Neo4j embedded, you can use the Neo4j Core-Java-API directly. Besides an object-oriented approach to the graph database, working with Nodes, Relationships, and Paths, it also offers highly customizable high-speed traversal- and graph-algorithm implementations. You can also choose from any useful drivers wrapping that API, which exist either for specific programming languages or that add interesting functionality.
One example is Spring Data Neo4j, which integrates tightly with the SpringFramework and offers Object-Graph mapping on top of Neo4j.
As a JVM developer you are also on the bright side when it comes to inserting large amounts of data into Neo4j. With its non-transactional, low-level batch-insertion API it can ingest millions of nodes and relationships in just seconds.
Follow the guides below to get you started.
The Example Project
You can find out more about our example projects for many different languages here, you can also access it via the GitHub repository for the Neo4j developer resources. Feel free to check them out.
It is a small one page webapp for our movies database. The front-end is the same for all drivers, just the backends show you how to connect to Neo4j from the different languages and drivers.
Using Neo4j Server with JDBC
Being a Java developer you're probably familiar with JDBC as a way to work with relational databases, either directly or via abstractions like Spring's
JDBCTemplate or MyBatis. Many tools for ETL, Business Intelligence, and data management also use JDBC drivers to interact with relational databases.
As Cypher, like SQL, is a textual parametrizable query language that can return tabular results, it was possible for us to support the JDBC APIs and make a Neo4j-JDBC driver available. More details on how to use it can be found with our example project for Java-JDBC. There, we implement the backend as a minimal Java webapp that leverages Neo4j-JDBC to connect to Neo4j Server.
Extending Neo4j Server with a Server Extension
A great way of accessing the high performance graph database directly from your Java code is to write a Neo4j Server extension. Then you get the double benefit of easy deployment and high performance database access.
A Server extension provides a Jersey JAX-RS REST endpoint with a protocol and granularity that you control, you use it to send and receive data structures of your domain.
After declaring the dependencies to Neo4j and Neo4j-Server-APIs you can create REST-resources that are deployed by Jersey at startup. Within those resources you can get the
GraphDatabaseService and
ExecutionEngine injected and use all Java APIs as well as executing Cypher directly. The path-finding and traversal APIs are also available.
The results of your graph operations are then collected and rendered as the format you want to expose, e.g. JSON, XML, plain text or binary.
The example project shows how you would do that for our movie application endpoints.
Using Spring Boot with JDBC
Spring Boot is a rapid application development infrastructure that allows you to quickly write Spring-based applications with little setup and configuration.
Here we use a simple Spring Boot WebMVC and JDBC application to provide a backend for our movie application.
It uses the well known APIs of
@RestController and
JdbcTemplate to do the job.
More details can be found in the example project.
Using Spring Data Neo4j
Spring Data Neo4j was the first Spring Data project and enables convenient integration of Neo4j in your Spring-based application. It provides object-graph mapping functionality and other features common to the Spring Data projects.
To use Neo4j with Spring Data Neo4j, you just add the dependency to your build setup. After setting up a simple Java-based Spring configuration, and annotating your
@Node- and
@RelationshipEntity, you can use
Neo4jTemplate to access Neo4j APIs and object-graph mapping functionality. Additionally, you can leverage the convenient Spring Data repositories to get interface-based DAO implementations injected into your Spring Components.
|The current version of Spring Data Neo4j works best with an embedded Neo4j database. To achieve highest-performance Neo4j-Server integration, move your SDN persistence layer into an Server Extension.
The example uses Spring-Boot with Spring-Data-Neo4j and Spring-Data-REST and an additional RestMVCController.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $359.20 for tent, $50 for footprint, or $409.
This tent excels as a family based tent. Its construction is very good and made of fine materials.
It is the configuration that really makes tents different, from one another. The Marmot Limestone has its entrances on the 10' wider face and its length goes back only 8'4". This does allow room to place such things as the cots, bedding or air mattresses towards the longer tent walls. This leaves the central area more accessible to the doorways without obstructing them, unless there are more than four campers.
While a lot of tent manufactures, REI and Marmot included, have saved a couple of manufacturing dollars, they have created a lot of negativity from campers who want their privacy — without closing the fly doorways. There is simply no way to block the mesh panels without the fly being on, and once it is up in warmer climes it can get stuffy, especially on hot days.
- Configuration gives it an edge.
- Privacy is lacking.
Although I've a good 6-person tent, a Kelty Trail Dome 6, I wanted one with a full coverage fly. We car-camp in the Mountain West's national parks, monuments, forests and state parks. Been camping approximately 30 days each camping trip, for about 80 nights each year, and we stay approximately three nights at each campground. Sometimes we meet with the unexpected, such as late afternoon thunder storms, and desired better rain/wind protection.
We searched the internet and located tents from North Face, Big Agnes, two from Marmot, a tent from REI, and another one from Kelty, eliminating any tent that had fiberglass poles, as we have had poor experience with them. I read most reviews for the strengths and weaknesses — then narrowed it down to REI and Marmot.
I was impressed by the geodesic design of the REI Base Camp 6, its number and use of the pre-bent aluminum alloy poles, and application of longer sleeves rather than clips. But, on balance I was more swayed
by the Marmot LimeStone 6 tent's width. Not the footprint for saving the floor, the actual living space of the tent. On weighing each, with sometimes conflicting factors, Marmot's was the tent I chose for a family-sized one, for its better fit and configuration of its living quarters.
Both REI and Marmot each have traits that offset others, and they are very similar tents in most respects. One has nylon flooring and the other uses polyester, but then Marmot has more water sealant on the floor, 3000mm vs. REI's 1500 mm. REI allows campers to open condensation vents from inside, while the
other has vents accessible only from its vestibules.
REI has more tent poles for support, but Marmot's poles have greater strength and larger diameters, making both of them very wind and rain resistant. Marmot provides a stuff sack while REI has a backpack carry bag — but both probably rely on cars to take the tents to a campground. And, both supply repair splints with their tents — as well as door mats.
It is the configuration of the two tents that really makes them different. One, the Marmot LimeStone, has its its entrances on the 10' wider faces. Marmot's length goes only 8'4", which does allow room to place such things as bedding or mattresses towards the longer tent walls. This leaves the central area more accessible to the doorways without obstructing them, unless there are more than four campers.
The REI tent actually places the entrance doors on its narrower 8'4" frontage. This usually lets the occupants place sleeping bags horizontally along the 10'5" sides. Naturally, they use one of the longer tent-walls but it blocks the doorways when there are more than three occupants, or use air mattresses rather than narrow sleeping pads.
Both tents have 83 square feet of "living space," which really means just flooring. But the Marmot has an overall actual footprint of provided shelter of about 160 square feet (10' x 15'10") as opposed to REI's 135 square footage (8'4" x 15'9").
And REI's inclusion of a rear "vestibule" really begs the question. It nominally has some 15 useable square feet; but, this rear vestibule is mostly useless due to its narrow space and the tent wall's pitch. In reality it is a rainy day door flap, used to close the open mesh door in lieu of a closeable mesh panel. Or, at best, it is a doorway to be used when climbing over sleeping persons when nature calls at night.
That brings me to the single real "disadvantage" – something that could make a camper put off the purchase of any of these two very high end tents – a lack of privacy! And it applies equally to each of these 6-person family tents – Marmot's LimeStone and REI's Base Camp.
Both have doors lacking closeable mesh panels that are found with lesser quality and lower priced tents. While REI and Marmot may have saved a couple of manufacturing dollars, it has created a lot of negativity from campers who want their privacy — without closing the fly doorways. There is simply no way to block the mesh panels without the fly, and once it is on it can get stuffy, especially on hot days. It may be that in a backpacking base camp such nicety is not a quality a person seeks, but in a family tent, one that is used for car camping at many campgrounds, it is a necessity. Both the REI and Marmot designers made that one crucial mistake when they created these doorways.
They left out the fabric behind the mesh in the door areas and this eliminates space essential to one's self. And since there is no fabric, anyone outside can see inside the tent - uninhibited. That indicates you can't change clothing or do other things that require solitude; it's just not there! That is, unless you have the flysheet on and lowered for full coverage; but that means no star-gazing.
Then there are those "windows" on both REI and Marmot tent flies. While small, they really don't do anything
for privacy because there is no way to close them off. And both are too undersized for observing the heavens! Dump them, and give us back the door closure panels!
All in all, despite these draw-backs, both the Marmot LimeStone 6P and REI BaseCamp 6 tents warrant a well deserved 4 stars. If they would correct the privacy issues, these tents would shine at a 5 star rating. It was a hard choice, but I only prefer the Marmot tent because it has more convenient living arrangements. But I still feel REI's alternative is a sound investment for beginning small families, or camp in it for extended periods of time.
