IQvitals is the third Midmark device integrated with the SuccessEHS solution. In 2010, SuccessEHS completed the successful integration of the Midmark IQecg®and IQspiro® devices.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

I am using the C# wrapper for ZeroMQ but this seems more like an underlying issue with ZeroMQ.
Is there any way to push a message without blocking and without queueing? If the server is not up I would like the messages to be permanently disposed without blocking.
Here are the settings I've tried so far:
Send (Blocking send)
High water mark = 0
This (stragely) does not block, but it seems to queue in memory until the socket is connected (memory keeps rising for the process).
Send (Non-Blocking send)
High water mark = 1
This is a race condition. If I send two messages in rapid succession one message is sometimes thrown out for exceeding the high water mark.
Poll the socket to figure out if it's going to block. This doesn't really help because I still have to put one (old) message in the queue before it starts blocking (if I set HWM = 1).
Non-blocking send with any high water mark is undesirable because as soon as the server comes back online it gets a bunch of old messages from clients.
Blocking send doesn't work because I don't want to block.

A Matter of Confidence tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2015:/theblog//3.8545334 2015-11-12T16:47:17-05:00 2015-11-13T10:59:02-05:00 Jennifer Handford http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jennifer-handford/ Once home from the morning loop of dropping off my three kids at school and humbling myself at Starbucks, I settle in at my computer. As a writer, I have a mountain of work to do: essays to write, a website to update, a barrage of social media sites to post to. Not to mention the next book -- that unruly behemoth of a document that requires the most attention. The kids are at school. The clock is ticking. Everything else could and should wait. But my brain is a hamster on a wheel, and with each revolution I am reminded of all the motherly duties I've left undone: Daughter No. 1 needs to get to the orthodontist; Daughter No. 2 needs the dermatologist; Daughter No. 3 needs a new tennis racquet. I scribble down a quick list of 15 items. I shove the formidable mommy to-do list from my brain, but it's hard to say no to the nurturing, caregiving side of myself, kind of like slamming the door on Girl Scouts selling cookies. My first nature is to take care of my family. But I also want to advance my career. Damn me, wanting to have my cake and eat it, too. I focus on my writing, managing to edit a good 20 pages of the next novel and am preparing to launch into some new material. But then the laundry buzzes, and because I know Daughter No. 2's soccer uniform is in it (one she'll need for this afternoon), I pop up to empty the load. While I fold, I click on CNBC. Female newscasters, female analysts, female fund managers. By all accounts, females have succeeded; they have procured the same opportunities as the men. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is so committed to her job, she has declined her right to maternity leave when her twins arrive. The commentators bicker back and forth, debating whether this is a smart move for her career, for her family. A conversation that would never ensue if she were a he. I deliver the laundry bundles to the doors of my children's rooms. Then I get back to my computer. I'm inspired to write some new pages, but in the back of my mind the to-do list ticks like a metronome. More immediate than the novel deadline is a batch of other commitments: A book review, a magazine essay, a list of my favorite reads for a literary blog. I'll get to it all, I vow. But first let me write these new pages. I'm two pages in when an alert pops up at the bottom of my screen: Grandma's birthday. I quickly click on my online calendar. I see that we're entering into the birthday season for my family. In the next four months alone there are six birthdays to celebrate, in addition to Thanksgiving and Christmas. There is too much to do and not enough time. I'll get it done, but how well? A dark cloud of inadequacy hovers over me as the shame seeps in. The constant worry of not measuring up either at home or at work nags at me like a fly buzzing at my ear. As Sheryl Sandberg writes in Lean In, "The stereotype of a working woman is rarely attractive. She's almost always harried and guilt-ridden." I envision a cartoon depiction of me, a frantic woman running in circles like a dog chasing its tail. I think of the novel I Don't Know How She Does It by Allison Pearson. The female protagonist, Kate, having just flown in from a business trip in the middle of the night, switches roles from high-powered hedge fund manager to at-home mother and attempts to "distress" a store-bought mince pie for her daughter's school in an effort to make it look homemade. Having done this, she then needs to dispose of the evidence -- the store-bought wrapper -- lest her nanny rats her out to the other moms. The pressure of being the perfect mom while at the same time the ladder-climbing working woman bears down on her like the Boeing jet she just flew in on. Later, I drive up to my kids' school for a parent association meeting. I've "over-volunteered," as I frequently do, chairing multiple committees. With two daughters entering high school next year, I know my time with them is dwindling. I want to be as involved as I can. While another woman speaks, I feel the buzz of my phone. I take a peek. A text from my mother. "Still alive?" it reads. "Haven't heard from you for a while." I add Call Mom to my mental to-do list. The obligations abound: to my husband, children, and parents. To the workplace, my volunteer activities, and maintaining the home. Sandberg has described my frustration perfectly, the "holy trinity of fear: the fear of being a bad mother/wife/daughter." I don't want to disappoint anyone. For women, balancing our home life with our work life is only the first step. We also need to strike the just right tone. I want to be heard, but I also want to be liked. Society -- for all that it has allowed in terms of feminism -- still demands that we act appropriately female. No one likes the loud-mouthed woman. Ambitious and aggressive women violate our social norms about how we should act. We expect men to be driven and decisive. We expect women to be sensitive and communal, says Sandberg. And it doesn't take much to be labeled in a derogatory way. Just standing one's ground is often enough. In her book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking, Susan Cain claims that our society values extroverts, the booming man of action, who talks first and loud, who takes risk, and whose charisma is spell-binding. Our culture used to value the person of introspection, the quiet, prudent, and morally upstanding individual, Cain says, yet now we love the salesman, the Tony Robbins of the business world. This could account for Trump's popularity. Side by side, he out-"charismas" his opponents. If this is true, and if we as a culture reward the booming, engaging individual, women are in a real fix. In our guts we know our place. We know it's okay for us to want to strive and thrive in the worlds of business, academia, medicine, and any other field. But we also know that our female role requires us to be nice, compassionate, and caring. We can only be so forceful before we cross the line and offend those same people we're trying to impress. Maybe that's why we apologize our way through the day, even at Starbucks. In a recent satire by edgy comedian Amy Schumer, a group of professional women innovators have been asked to participate in a panel discussion. What follows is a string of apologies for saying too much, too little, for clearing one's throat, for asking a question, and for being misconstrued as the wrong type of scientist. At one point, one of the panel members (played by Schumer) offers to "run to the store" to get medicine for an ailing audience member -- the ultimate show of female nurturing, even when she's working. Perhaps the apology is our way of permitting ourselves to lean in. It's the compromise that says we will no longer be silent, relegated to a lesser position, but will preface our opinions with a copious amount of "sorrys" and all the other precursors that beg our listeners to hear us but also to still like us. "I hope you don't mind my asking..." "This might be a stupid question...." We're using "sorry" as a stand-in for "excuse me." Or maybe not. Maybe we are just truly sorry. Sorry for being both a mother and having a job. Sorry that we can't be in two places at once. Feeling sorry just might come with the territory of assuming so many different roles and creating the fraud that's inherent in being one thing to one person and another thing to another. When I'm around a group of moms, I want to be just like them, telling silly stories about what our children said, debating best techniques for homework management, and swapping lunch box ideas. When I'm conducting business, I play a different role with different tones, different vocabulary, and different body language, which hints at living two lives. Yet women are anything but fraudulent. The honesty with which they scrutinize their own abilities is often to their detriment. In researching for their book, The Confidence Code, Kay and Shipman found that women will only apply for jobs or promotions if they feel they're 100 percent qualified versus men who will take the chance, even if they're woefully underqualified, gauging their abilities at maybe 50 percent of what's needed. More likely the reason we apologize so much is simply that our confidence doesn't match our competence. For all the strides made -- females earning more college and graduate degrees than males, closing the gap on middle management, and inching our way toward a more equitable pay -- we're still not finding the bold confidence to own our accomplishments. Discounting our abilities is a female phenomenon. Women are likely to attribute their successes to the help from others, luck, or being in the right place at the right time. Men more easily attribute success internally, stating that a victory was due to his high level of competency. It seems that we as women, in general, are quite hard on ourselves. We worry about whether we're allocating our time properly, we ruminate to the point of constant worry, and we demand perfection. Perhaps the next rung of feminism we must reach for is owning our accomplishments, without apology. But for now, it's a crisis of confidence and for that, I'm truly sorry.]]> Raise Your Hand, Daughter tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2014:/theblog//3.4989379 2014-03-25T16:52:21-04:00 2014-05-25T05:59:01-04:00 Jennifer Handford http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jennifer-handford/ I'm the entire Ban Bossy campaign and controversy rolled into a mom. According to Ban Bossy research, boys who speak up are lauded as leaders. When girls speak up, oftentimes they're labeled "bossy." Such a label can take its toll, diminishing a girl's self-esteem. Ban Bossy claims that by middle school girls are 25 percent less likely to take the lead, thus derailing themselves from the leadership track. Founded by Facebook COO and LeanIn.org founder, Sheryl Sandberg, and in connection with the Girl Scouts of the USA, the Ban Bossy initiative urges people to stop using the word bossy. The goal is to encourage girls to speak up, to become a bigger part of the conversation, and to ultimately assume greater leadership positions. The arguments from the other side run the gamut. Not all girls strive to be leaders, some contend. Banning a word is censorship, others maintain. The Ban Bossy campaign is a "little bossy," yet others wager. In my opinion, the debate over the actual word as a descriptor is beside the point. The campaign is what matters: I'm all for emboldening girls through education to lead without fear of being labeled. This year, my daughters in middle school were required to participate in a fair number of "group projects." From History Day, to the Science Fair, to the Classics presentation, kids were expected to come together, brainstorm ideas and allocate work. They were supposed to know when they should lead and when they should follow. Of course, they didn't. As I chaperoned a number of these meetings, I observed how some girls rose up and took charge while other girls shrunk. One mother emailed me, "I hope my daughter isn't being too bossy." "No, no," I assured her, because even though I wasn't thrilled with my own daughter's lack of assertiveness, I wasn't about to criticize another mother's daughter for taking the reins. I remember all too well how middle school was tricky business, how a girl's confidence hung by a thread. I wasn't about to snip this one's. After each meeting, I would sit down with my daughter and walk a very fine line. "Working in groups is hard," I would tell her. "It's a matter of asserting your own positions, but also being a great listener to others. Sometimes you have to give in, but other times you need to stand up for yourself." It's about as easy as negotiating peace in the Middle East, I wanted to add. I listen to the Ban Bossy debate and apply it to my home. As a mother, I want my daughters to know they're loved. Beyond that, I want them to grow into kind, civic-minded individuals who are centered on a solid moral base. I'm looking for them to grow into good people. I say this, and I mean it... but it's only part of the story. I also want them to rise to the top. Or, to put it in Sheryl Sandberg's language, I want them to "sit at the table." I admit I'm competitive and driven and believe wholeheartedly in seeing my girls succeed at anything they desire. So I'm on them. I push them, manage their homework, make corrections and send them back to their desks to make it better. I want them to be the kids who raise their hands in class... but I also want them to affirm the comments of their classmates. I want them to be the quarterback and the cheerleader. With all these mixed messages, I wonder if I'm getting it right. Each morning I tell my daughters to "Put on a happy face!" (Because being agreeable is a desirable quality.) And then I add "So you can be helpful and kind!" (Because there is nothing more important than compassion.) Then I remind them to "Raise your hand, offer an opinion, make yourself known!" (Because showing your teachers you have a unique perspective is key.) And then (because I know what a drill sergeant I am), I ratchet it down a bit and say "Have fun!" (Because, after all, they're just 12 years old). But then I warn them the semester is ending, and they really need to "Buckle down if you want to make the honor roll!" (Because even now, it's important to be thinking about college.) Lastly I remind them to "Just be yourselves!" (So long as that includes being happy, kind, agreeable, assertive and prepared.) I admit I overload them with input. "Not everything needs to be a teaching moment," my husband reminds me. Added to my two cents is the information they receive from peers and teachers. I'm expecting my preteens to integrate a landslide of information. I just want them to be prepared for whatever might come their way. According to Sandberg, girls systematically underestimate their own ability. For my daughter to feel insecure about her abilities when she's 12 years old is one thing. Ideally, I'm here to catch her, to correct this misinformation and to teach her that she is worth more than she knows. But it's another thing altogether for her to carry that sense of doubt into adulthood, into relationships, career choices and the internal monologue she engages in each day. The conundrum is how to fortify her now so she's better equipped later. My best guess is to teach her it's her female prerogative to "lean in" to her ambitions, whether they're corporate, academic or otherwise. It's also her female right to leave the workforce in lieu of motherhood. I toe the line with my mixed messages. But hopefully she'll figure it out: She doesn't really need to be everything to everyone. She just needs to be someone to herself.

Truly, I enjoyed lifting each foot with her -- step after step -- carrying her too-heavy backpack, which she affectionately calls "Monster," while trudging her way up the Pacific Crest Trail in hiking boots that were too small for her feet. I marveled at her bravery as she pitched her tent each night and slept in the black of the wilderness, with no comfort or protection other than a thin layer of nylon separating her from the critters and larger beasts. I felt her raw emotion, her wide-open wound, as she endeavored to "walk out" the grief she bore from losing her mother at a too-early age, robbed by a disease that took her unfairly -- lung cancer after years of organic gardening and toxin avoidance. Without seeing her, I saw her, her thrashing self that was tossed into a tempest -- that sense that we all encounter from time to time when we simply do not know what to do with ourselves. I traveled alongside her, rooted her on and prayed for her brokenness to seal itself back together. I did all that. I enjoyed the book. But I'm also a forty-something-year-old mother of daughters and there was a constant clamoring of loud voices that I simply couldn't hush as I read of Cheryl's journey. Seriously! You're a young woman in your twenties? Hiking alone for 1,100 miles? Through the wilderness where there are certain to be bear and wolves and cougars (and in her case, a charging bull)? Up and down sketchily-marked trails where you could find yourself lost, miles from safety? Sleeping alone in the darkness each night? Hoping that your meager water supply will last you to your next stop? Hitchhiking with strangers from outpost to outpost? Hoping that you're not attacked by leering men? Seriously, girl? What were you thinking? When I finished reading Strayed's book, I saw that her adventure -- one that ended gloriously in Oregon atop the Bridge of the Gods, wasn't recent. She made this trek seventeen years earlier, and only now had taken pen to paper to record her experience. I found this interesting, and when I let the thought mull, I began to think of my own equivalent. In graduate school, I traveled abroad to Russia. I settled in with my housemate, Anastasia (she went by Stacy), in her parents' flat in a typically eastern-bloc building. Her apartment had two doors, literally. After unbolting the first door's deadlock and pulling open the heavy door, there was another door, clad with even more deadbolts. When I asked Stacy why an apartment would need two doors, she told me that there were many things to fear in Russia. Over the course of the next month, she and I ran wild. After our morning courses at the university, we'd take a shortcut home through a field of uncut wilderness. We would walk atop a labrynth of pipes that wended its way through the brush, using our arms like machetes to clear the way. Then, we'd head to the market and hitchhike home. We drank vodka out of bottles that had been refilled by bootleggers. We chatted with the chauffers who stood guard in front of the black Mercedes. Mafia, I later learned. At the time, it seemed perfectly safe. A wary thought never entered my 20-year old mind. Nothing had gone wrong in my life, thus, nothing could go wrong. Now, twenty-plus years later, I cringe to think at what might have happened. The naïveté I once had has been replaced by fear. My brain is now hard-wired for danger. When I look at cars, I see crashes. When I look at water, I see drownings. When I look at parks, I see lurkers. So much could have gone wrong, but nothing did. But sometimes it does, and it's those few times that are enough to infuse our more mature selves with a lifetime of worry, an inoculation against free-spiritedness and a dose of wariness from which we will never recover. Seventeen years after Cheryl Strayed hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, I wonder if she now feels the same way. Does she look back at her younger self -- burdened by grief, but carefree in so many ways -- and think, Holy Smokes, I was a footstep away from being attacked, raped, stranded, starved? Or does she allow that piece of her life to stand alone as something that all twenty-somethings should experience, whether it be a semester abroad or four months on the PCT or a stint as a missionary in a third world country? In Cheryl's situation, she didn't have a parent to look over her. But many young adults do, and these parents -- against their better judgment -- let their children experience adventure for the sake of it. They know that the rite of passage that accompanies such journeys is an exquisite one, one worth sleepless night after sleepless night, nail biting and praying that their children avoid harm. All this with the keen acknowledgement that their child's propensity for risk, the kiss of wanderlust, the desire to conquer, isn't yet tempered by the reason that comes only with age. In that sense, parents are pretty courageous -- to let their children fly even though they know there is a real possibility of a broken wing. Cheryl Strayed's Wild -- in that sense -- is an homage not only to her unfolding and folding back up of her life, but a nod to her younger self, an affirmation that says to experience life before the fear catches up with you.]]> A Family Tree Grows Branches tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1462825 2012-05-04T12:53:55-04:00 2012-07-04T05:12:04-04:00 Jennifer Handford http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jennifer-handford/ While she sketches out branches, I consider the situation. My daughter is fractional shares of English and Irish and Dutch and Russian and German. But she's also Chinese. We adopted her when she was 1. Now, 10 years later, I wonder if perhaps we have done too good of a job. We have insinuated her so thoroughly into our lives that it hasn't occurred to her to ask about her Chinese heritage. My daughter, with her porcelain cheeks and rosebud lips and hair as shiny as black lacquer, has claimed our ancestry as her own. I feel pride, but I also feel shame because she should know about her roots. But there is little to know. Beyond my daughter, her branch breaks. This is what I do know. About the time I filled out my first piece of adoption paperwork, my daughter's biological mother was already pregnant. She lived a rural life. The region that bore her was remote, a village reachable only by a four-hour car ride outside of an industrial hub in central China. My daughter was abandoned on the road leading up to the orphanage. She was found on her second day of life. She weighed four pounds. This is what I can assume. I can assume that her mother hoped for a boy because, in rural China especially, boys trump girls. The person who is able to carry the most weight is most valuable, most able to provide for the elders. There is much that I'll never know, moments in time that will never be mine. I'll never know about the day my daughter was born, whether her mother was an adult or still just a child. Whether the father was a man her mother knew or didn't know -- a boy she loved, or maybe hated -- a husband she chose willingly or perhaps was forced to marry. I will also never know how her mother felt at the moment of separation, when she placed her newborn -- swaddled tightly in a blanket in a box -- on the side of the road leading up to the orphanage. Surely she knew the realities of her life -- that a daughter couldn't be kept. But still. She must have suffered. She must have grieved. I grant her that. In the States, 7,000 miles away from where our daughter's branch was breaking -- her family tree uprooted -- my husband and I were doing what we could to grow a branch for a daughter we had never met. We baby-proofed. We became CPR certified. We installed car seats, assembled cribs and wrestled with strollers. And then we waited. We did what we could to pass the time. We worked harder, longer hours. We occupied our every waking minute. Occasionally, we'd give in and treat ourselves to a shopping spree: a diaper bag, a baby carrier, a stack of OshKosh. We stowed them in the baby's room and then closed the door. We believed that we had a baby on the way. But in a way, we still didn't believe. There was no evidence. No swollen belly. Just stuff. The months passed, and as the excitement built, so did the anxiety. In the stores, restaurants and at the mall, we would spy a mother nursing a newborn, a father bouncing a baby on his knee. We stared enviously at these parents who could procreate and thought nothing of it, parents who would never know the subculture of us "infertile-to-adoption" types who would move heaven and earth to get a baby. All we had was our box full of paperwork and there was nothing warm and cuddly about it. Now, a miracle and 10 years later, I sit across from my daughter and help her sketch branches on her family tree. We flip through photo albums and I tell stories. Then I retrieve my scrapbook of the adoption trip and we journey back to China, back to my daughter's homeland. Later that night, as I tuck her into bed, I mention to her that dressing up as a Dutch girl sounds great, but instead, maybe she would like to wear her Chinese dress hanging in her closet. My daughter nods enthusiastically, and that's when I know that she has already had the same thought. Being Chinese was her first choice, too.

An unlimited supply of packaged pastries was a seductive allure. Zingers were my favorite. Later, I wanted to be the editor of a fashion magazine. Those who know me and my Target wardrobe will find that one amusing. Then there was the year I sent away for the cruise ship catalog. What was a little sea-sickness compared to a lifetime of memories and a scrapbook of memorabilia collected from exotic ports? At some point, my ambition for pastries, my admiration of glossy Guess ads and my wanderlust for far-off lands faded into more realistic adult goals. Instead of pursuing the dream jobs of my youth, I stayed the course: college, graduate school, marriage and kids. Then, in the fourth decade of my life, a new dream emerged. As childlike and lofty as any. A nagging and nudging tap on my shoulder. An itch that demanded to be scratched. I wanted to be a novelist. With no reason or logic or evidence to support that I could do it, I began scribbling on scraps of paper: character sketches, plot ideas, timelines. At night, after the children were tucked into bed, I would pound out a few chapters on my computer. I started with what I knew: an experience with infertility, an adoption that followed. Then my imagination took over. My main character became alive for me: her pain, her longing, her anguish. Her angst took root in my heart. I wanted her to feel better, but I knew it wouldn't be easy. Kind of like real life. I wrote and deleted, cut and pasted, stopped and began again. Months, then years passed. Frustration and self-doubt filled me as I fought with the sense that I had started something that I couldn't finish. I needed some inspiration. It came in the form of a dare. One night, while on the Internet, I stumbled upon a notice for a novel writing competition: the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest. It was September and the contest started the following January. It was the perfect incentive for me to get the beast into shape. A contest wouldn't lie. It would provide some much-needed evidence, a needle pointing in one direction or the other. In January, I -- along with 5,000 other aspiring writers -- submitted my work to the contest. The next month, I found out that I had made the cut down to 1,000. From there, each month brought another list: 250, then 50. The following month, I received a phone call from the VP of Amazon informing me that I had made the top three. This week, years after this new dream took root, my book -- Daughters for a Time -- was released. At this moment in time, I'm an author, a job title as inspired and dreamy as a veterinarian, fire fighter, plumber, or Dolly Madison truck driver. At this moment in time, my children think I'm cool. My accomplishment is something they get. Mom wrote a book. Visit Amazon.com to purchase my book, Daughters for a Time.

Not even a thin coat of cynicism to blunt the realities to come. She was only in kindergarten when she wrote a letter to the People's Republic of China urging them -- adamantly, like pretty please Sirs -- to renounce its one-child per family law. Her sister was adopted from China, and the thought that her sibling might not have been due to unfair legislation struck her as wrongheaded. Families should have the freedom to make this decision, she argued. Her passionate plea, written in 5-year-old script, was signed with a string of x's and o's. Hungry children, neglected animals, polluted environments, look out. If you think one person isn't big enough to make a difference, just try throwing away a piece of plastic in our house. You'd better hope the Reduce-Reuse-Recycle czar isn't around to bust you. So when my daughter reads in her "101 Ways to Save the World" book that proceeds from a certain charity will benefit battered women and abused children, she wants to know what it means. What's battered? And why are children abused? I would give anything if she never had to know about men who hit, or creeps who lurked behind bushes, or adults who hurt the children who trusted them. I stumble my way through an explanation, realizing quickly that there is no way to sugarcoat abuse. At this exact moment, I know that my daughter is growing her first layer of skin. When I was a little older than she -- junior high -- I had a friend named Amanda. She was beautiful: thick amber hair, olive skin, and the greenest of eyes. When she chose me to be her friend, I felt as if I had won a prize. I was scrawny and awkward and far from a beauty, but next to Amanda, I couldn't help feeling as if her glow transferred onto me. I liked her parents, too. Her dad was funny, her mom was bubbly. When I played at their house, there was always plenty of snacks, laughs, and smiles. One day I went to school and Amanda wasn't there. A week, maybe two, passed, and still no Amanda. When finally she returned, I remember the relief that flooded through me. I ran to her in the courtyard, reached for her hands. "You're here. Finally." We hugged and then pulled back and looked at each other. "I'm back, but not for long," Amanda said. "My mom and sister and I have to move -- to California. My grandparents are there." "But why?" I whined selfishly because her moving was going to hurt me. Amanda looked around, then down at her white Keds. Amanda always wore the whitest of Keds. "Because of my dad," she said, looking up briefly. "What about?" I wanted to know. "He did stuff." I scrunched my face, shook my head, and flipped my palms face up. "What are you talking about?" Amanda looked down at her Keds again, and that's when I got it. "Did he hit you?" I asked with indignation. I had seen a show on television where the dad hit the kids. "Oh my God, Amanda. Did your dad hit you?" Amanda looked up at me, exhaled, and pulled her mouth into a tight little bow before she said, "worse." Amanda and her mom and sister moved right after that. I never told my mother or anyone about Amanda's word -- worse -- because back then, I didn't know what it meant. A year or two passed, and then one day, I got it. I understood. I figured out what worse meant. I had learned through the accumulation of life experiences, natural maturity, and a whole lot of television what was worse than being hit. Now, I sit on the sofa with my daughter in my arms, knowing that she, too, will someday know much more than she knows now. That she will shed her naiveté and in its place she will grow layers of skin: her armor. Within the next few years,she'll learn that the environment cannot be saved by selling lemonade alone, that walkathons will only go so far to treat abused animals, and that sometimes, being a friend, is the only thing we can offer to a girl who has endured worse. ]]> Mom Looks For Work: Writing A Resume tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1234148 2012-02-07T08:42:39-05:00 2012-04-08T05:12:01-04:00 Jennifer Handford http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jennifer-handford/ A decade ago I was a snobbish, straight-A graduate student studying international affairs. With an abundance of confidence, I would stroll casually into the teacher's lounge, sink into the tweed sofa, and sip coffee with the leather elbow-patched professors. We'd discuss political thought, the theoretic notions of Plato and Socrates. I would sprinkle my sentences with all the right words like I now sprinkle my cereal with flax: epistemology, endemic, pedagogical. When I would hear laymen discussing politics, I'd think to my superior self: where'd you get your information, from the television? Oh, please. I read Foreign Affairs, researched at the law library, attended conferences. My well of knowledge was deeper. Now I sit at my computer, frustrated that I can't remember the meaning of epistemology. A decade later, the only thing I am snobbish about now is my children. How amazing they are in a thousand different ways. The confidence I once felt for myself, I now feel for them. I take a deep breath, another chug of coffee, and place my hands on the keyboard. The other day I chastised my nine-year old for not using the right fingers. "Really?" she asked. "Because my teacher says that typing is going the way of the dinosaurs. It's all about text-typing, now." I look at my yellow pad. Under skills I have listed: typing, 80 wpm. I cross it out. I don't want to seem dinosaur-ish. I start with EDUCATION. I list my degrees. A Bachelors, a Masters, a summer studying abroad. Good, solid, education. But it was forever ago. The ten year gap mocks me I want to write that I have been to school. Pre-school through fifth grade, to be exact. That I studied George Washington in the First Grade, the cavemen in the second grade, the Greeks and Romans in the third grade, American history in the fourth. That I diagramed sentences, reduced fractions, found the least common denominator. That now, with my oldest in fifth grade, we're working on inventions. Most recently, I've read up on pulleys and inclined planes and levers. I consider putting that under my research skills. I think back and remember the pride I felt in graduate school. In the window sill of my on-campus apartment, I displayed like trophies stacks of Blue Books. Comments from my professors were scrolled across the front page: insightful, perceptive, apt. I co-wrote law journal articles with tenured professors, held study groups for undergraduates, defended my thesis using a quantitative method that impressed even the math department. But that me isn't the me I am now. The me I am now has other skills. Such as, I know just when to add bleach to a load of grimy whites. I know how to grind a lemon in the garbage disposal for an infusion of citrus fragrance. I know how to pack lunches with the perfect balance of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. Following graduate school, I had one thing on my mind: moving to Washington, D.C. More than anything, I wanted to work for the CIA as an analyst. I had written the Agency months early, submitted a thick packet of an application, and written an essay per their requirements. The essay I wrote was on the potential increase in strife in the Middle East and terrorism in particular. This was a year before 9/11. Oh, how insightful I was! My finger right on the pulse of international relations. So I drove across country to our nation's capital, settled into the basement apartment of a Capitol Hill brownstone, and waited. Finally, I got the call and was scheduled for my three-day interview. I was put through the paces -- tested, screened, strapped and wired for six hours to a jumpy lie detector machine. I stare at the computer and watch the cursor tap impatiently: Come on! it seems to be saying. Fine! I grumble back, and type: EMPLOYMENT. Mom and housewife? No health insurance, no FICA, no 401(k). It probably wouldn't count as a real job. What about my volunteer work at the kids' school? Brownie Scout leader, Room Mom, Treasurer of the PTA. A variety of skills abound: leadership, responsibility, accountability. Not to mention my perfect attendance: have shown up with open arms every day of my children's lives. I read again the job I'm applying for: INTELLIGENCE ANALYST, JUNIOR. The employer is a defense contractor. They're looking for a person who knows code. My mind flips to code-ing, like my kids did in the first grade as they learned phonics, dissecting words with breves and macrons and schwas. What about mnemonics, they're codes, aren't they? The order of the planets. The succession of presidents. The taxonomic classification of humans. Throw one at me. I can make one for anything. I minimize the resume screen and start on the cover letter. Maybe I can craft a sentence, build a paragraph, to describe what I've been doing this last decade. Words to fill in the gap. I want to explain that yes, I was offered a job from the CIA. That out of a large pool of candidates they chose me. That back then, I really was hot stuff. But that I declined to take it. Why did you turn it down? The interviewer will ask. I'll have to lie. Maybe I could make something up about having to take care of a sick relative. I can't tell the truth. Not if I'm trying to sound strong and professional. Not if I'm trying to prove my commitment to the work place. I turned down the job because at the same time it was offered to me, I happened to meet the man who would soon become my husband. And as quickly and with an even stronger desire than I wanted a security clearance and a desk of my own in an undisclosed location, I wanted to be married with babies. Lots of them. Clearly, the truth won't do. I no longer read Foreign Affairs, I could explain to the interviewer, but Dora the Explorer does provide an impressive amount of knowledge about South America. I no longer read policy studies on the state of our country's health care. I tend to collect plenty of empirical data myself, logging trips to the E.R. for split chins and fractured bones and lungs too tight to breathe. I no longer read St. Thomas Aquinas in search of evidence of faith because I tuck into bed each night three perfect examples of it. My vocabulary is smaller than it once was, my computer skills are out of date, and the last time I was offered a security clearance was ten years ago. But pick me, anyway. Because for the last decade I've raised three children which means that I'm steady under fire, can juggle many tasks at the same time, and can listen to multiple people talking to me at once. Pick me because I can learn in a month what I've forgotten or never knew. Old skills can be resurrected, new ones can be acquired. What I can't do -- is get back my children's youth, the ten years I would have missed if I were more driven in the workplace. As you can see, I make good decisions. Let's add that to my list of strengths. ]]>

Girl, 12, killed by school wall collapse 'was our princess'
The family of 12-year-old Keane Wallis-Bennett, who died after a wall collapsed at her school in Edinburgh yesterday, have said: "She was our princess who dreamed of being Prime Minister."
The family of 12-year-old Keane Wallis-Bennett, who died after a wall collapsed at her school in Edinburgh yesterday, have said: "She was our princess who dreamed of being Prime Minister."
Stephen Kelly, headteacher at the school where pupil Keane Wallis-Bennett died yesterday, said:
Keane was an excellent pupil who had a bright and bubbly personality and got on well with others in class.
She was a popular team player who took an active role in projects such as the Junior Awards Scheme Scotland.
She showed a lot of sporting ability and was really eager to contribute to the school for example by clearing litter and planting bulbs in the school grounds.
She had a real presence in class and her friends and my staff are deeply shocked and upset at what has happened.
I am very grateful for the support that our school community is receiving as we come to terms with this tragic event.
He also praised the response of emergency services:
I would also like to thank the emergency services who attended yesterday and everyone for their messages of support at what is a very difficult time for Keane's family and the whole school community.
Counselling staff are continuing to support our staff and pupils and I would encourage any pupils who want to talk to someone to take up the help available.
More than 90,000 police, soldiers and private security agents will be deployed across to ensure safety for the Euro 2016 soccer tournament.
The UK has gained £2.1 billion more from the EU each year than it has contributed in the last five years.
Netflix and online streaming services could be forced to make sure 20% of their content is European under new plans from Brussels.

Let's start with the basic question: What is the disruptor? The disruptor is a concurrency framework for Java that allows data sharing between threads. The age old way of coding a producer-consumer model is to use a queue as the buffer area between the producer and the consumer, where the producer adds data objects to the queue, which are in turn processed by the consumer. However, such a model does not work well at the hardware level and ends up being highly inefficient. The disruptor in its simplest form replaces the queue with a data structure known as the 'ring buffer'. Which brings us to the next question, what is the ring buffer? The ring buffer is an array of fixed length (which must be a power of 2), it's circular and wraps. This data structure is at the core of what makes the disruptor super fast.
Let's explore a simple everyday scenario in enterprise architectures. A producer (let's call it the publisher) creates data and stores it in the queue. Two immediate consumers (let's call them fooHandler and barHandler) consume the data and make updates to it. Once these 2 processors are done with a piece of data, it is then passed on to a third consumer (let's call it fooBarHandler) for further processing. In a concurrent processing system using legacy techniques, coding this architecture would involve a crisscross of queues and numerous concurrency challenges, such as dealing with locks, CAS, write contention, etc. The disruptor on the other hand immensely simplifies such a scenario by providing a simple API for creating the producer, consumers and ring buffer, which in turn relieve the developer of all concerns surrounding handling concurrency and doing so in an efficient manner. We shall now explore how the disruptor works its magic and provides a reliable messaging framework.
Writing to the ring buffer
Looking at the figure above, we find ourselves in the middle of the action. The ring buffer is an array of length 4 and is populated with data items - 4,5,6 and 7, which in the case of the disruptor are known as events. The square above the ring buffer containing the number 7 is the current sequence number, which denotes the highest populated event in the ring buffer. The ring buffer keeps track of this sequence number and increments it as and when new events are published to it. The fooHandler, barHandler and fooBarHandler are the consumers, which in disruptor terminology are called 'event processors'. Each of these also has a square containing a sequence number, which in the case of the event processors denotes the highest event that they have consumed/processed so far. Thus its apparent that each entity (except the publisher) tracks its own sequence number and thus does not need to rely on a third party to figure out which is the next event its after.
The publisher asks the ring buffer for the next sequence number. The ring buffer is currently at 7, so the next sequence number would be 8. However, this would also entail overwriting the event with sequence number 4 (since there are only 4 slots in the array and the oldest event gets replaced with the newest one). The ring buffer first checks the most downstream consumer (fooBarHandler) to determine whether it is done processing the event with sequence number 4. In this case, it has, so it returns the number 8 to the publisher. In case fooBarHandler was stuck at a sequence number lower than 4, the ring buffer would have waited for it to finish processing the 4th event before returning the next sequence number to the publisher. This sequence number helps the publisher identify the next available slot in the ring buffer by performing a simple mod operation. indexOfNextAvailableSlot = highestSeqNo%longthOfRingBuffer, which in this case is 0 (8%4). The publisher then claims the next slot in the ring buffer (via a customizable strategy depending on whether there is a single or multiple publishers), which is currently occupied by event 4, and publishes event 8 to it.
Reading from the ring buffer by immediate consumers
The figure above shows the state of operations after the publisher has published event 8 to the ring buffer. The ring buffer's sequence number has been updated to 8 and now contains events 5,6,7 and 8. We see that foohandler, which has processed events upto 7, has been waiting (using a customizable strategy) for the 8th event to be published. Unlike the publisher though, it does not directly communicate with the ring buffer, but uses an entity known as the 'sequence barrier' to do so on its behalf. The sequence barrier let's fooHandler know that the highest sequence number available in the ring buffer is now 8. FooHandler may now get this event and process it.
Similarly, barHandler checks the sequence barrier to determine whether there are any more events it can process. However, rather than just telling barHandler that the next (6th) event is up for grabs, the sequence barrier returns the highest sequence number present in the ring buffer to barHandler too. This way, barHandler can grab events 6,7,8 and process them in a batch before it has to enquire about further events being published. This saves time and reduces load.
Another important thing to note here is that in the case of multiple event processors, any given field in the event object must only be written to by any one event processor. Doing so prevents write contention, and thus removes the need for locks or CAS.
Reading from the ring buffer by downstream consumers
A few moments after the set of immediate consumers grab the next set of data, the state of affairs looks like the figure above. fooHandler is done processing all 8 available events (and has accordingly updated its sequence number to 8), whereas barHandler, being the slow coach that it is, has only processed events upto number 6 (and thus has updated sequence number to 6). We now see that fooBarHandler, which was done processing events upto number 5 at the start of our examination, is still waiting for an event higher than that to process. Why did its sequence barrier not inform it once event 8 was published to the ring buffer? Well, that is because downstream consumers don't automatically get notified of the highest sequence number present in the ring buffer. Their sequence barriers on the other hand determine the next sequence number they can process by calculating the minimum sequence number that the set of event processors directly before them have processed. This helps ensure that the downstream consumers only act on an event once its processing has been completed by the entire set of upstream consumers. The sequence barrier examines the sequence number on fooHandler (which is 8) and the sequence number on barHandler (which is 6) and decides that event 6 is the highest event that fooBarHandler can process. It returns this info to fooBarHandler, which then grabs event 6 and processes it. It must be noted that even in the case of the downstream consumers, they grab the events directly from the ring buffer and not from the consumers before them.
Well, that is about all you would need to know about the working of the disruptor framework to get started. But while this is all well and good in theory, the question still remains, how would one code the above architecture using the disruptor library? The answer to that question lies below.
Coding the disruptor
public final class FooBarEvent {
private double foo=0;
private double bar=0;
public double getFoo(){
return foo;
public double getBar() {
return bar;
public void setFoo(final double foo) {
this.foo = foo;
public void setBar(final double bar) {
this.bar = bar;
public final static EventFactory<FooBarEvent> EVENT_FACTORY
= new EventFactory<FooBarEvent>() {
public FooBarEvent newInstance() {
return new FooBarEvent();
The class FooBarEvent, as the name suggests, acts as the event object which is published by the publisher to the ring buffer and consumed by the eventProcessors - fooHandler, barHandler and fooBarHandler. It contains two fields 'foo' and 'bar' of type double, along with their corresponding setters/getters. It also contains an entity 'EVENT_FACTORY' of type EventFactory, which is used to create an instance of this event.
public class FooBarDisruptor {
public static final int RING_SIZE=4;
public static final ExecutorService EXECUTOR
final EventTranslator<FooBarEvent> eventTranslator
=new EventTranslator<FooBarEvent>() {
public void translateTo(FooBarEvent event,
long sequence) {
double foo=event.getFoo();
double bar=event.getBar();
+", bar="+bar
+" (sequence="+sequence+")");
final EventHandler<FooBarEvent> fooHandler
= new EventHandler<FooBarEvent>() {
public void onEvent(final FooBarEvent event,
final long sequence,
final boolean endOfBatch)
throws Exception {
double foo=Math.random();
System.out.println("setting foo to "+foo
+" (sequence="+sequence+")");
final EventHandler<FooBarEvent> barHandler
= new EventHandler<FooBarEvent>() {
public void onEvent(final FooBarEvent event,
final long sequence,
final boolean endOfBatch)
throws Exception {
double bar=Math.random();
System.out.println("setting bar to "+bar
+" (sequence="+sequence+")");
final EventHandler<FooBarEvent> fooBarHandler
= new EventHandler<FooBarEvent>() {
public void onEvent(final FooBarEvent event,
final long sequence,
final boolean endOfBatch)
throws Exception {
double foo=event.getFoo();
double bar=event.getBar();
+", bar="+bar
+" (sequence="+sequence+")");
public Disruptor setup() {
Disruptor<FooBarEvent> disruptor =
new Disruptor<FooBarEvent>(FooBarEvent.EVENT_FACTORY,
new SingleThreadedClaimStrategy(RING_SIZE),
new SleepingWaitStrategy());
disruptor.handleEventsWith(fooHandler, barHandler).then(fooBarHandler);
RingBuffer<FooBarEvent> ringBuffer = disruptor.start();
return disruptor;
public void publish(Disruptor<FooBarEvent> disruptor) {
for(int i=0;i<1000;i++) {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FooBarDisruptor fooBarDisruptor=new FooBarDisruptor();
Disruptor disruptor=fooBarDisruptor.setup();
The class FooBarDisruptor is where all the action happens. The 'eventTranslator' is an entity which aids the publisher in publishing events to the ring buffer. It implements a method 'translateTo' which gets invoked when the publisher is granted permission to publish the next event. fooHandler, barHandler and fooBarHandler are the event processors, and are objects of type 'EventHandler'. Each of them implements a method 'onEvent' which gets invoked once the event processor is granted access to a new event. The method 'setup' is responsible for creating the disruptor, assigning the corresponding event handlers, and setting the dependency rules amongst them. The method 'publish' is responsible for publishing a thousand events of the type 'FooBarEvent' to the ring buffer.
In order to get the above code to work, you must download the disruptor jar file from http://code.google.com/p/disruptor/downloads/list and include the same in your classpath.
The disruptor is currently in use in the ultra efficient LMAX architecture, where it has proven to be a reliable model for inter thread communication and data sharing, reducing the end to end latency to a fraction of what queue based architectures provided. It does so using a variety of techniques, including replacing the array blocking queue with a ring buffer, getting rid of all locks, write contention and CAS operations (except in the scenario where one has multiple publishers), having each entity track its own progress by way of a sequence number, etc. Adopting this framework can greatly boost a developer's productivity in terms of coding a producer-consumer pattern, while at the same time aid in creating an end product far superior in terms of both design and performance to the legacy queue based architectures.
