I am working on a (database-ish) project, where data is stored in a flat file. For reading/writing I'm using the
RandomAccessFile class. Will I gain anything from multithreading, and giving each thread an instance each of
RandomAccessFile, or will one thread/instance be just as fast? Is there any difference in reading/writing, as you can make instances that only do the reading, and can't write?
I am working on a (database-ish) project, where data is stored in a flat file. For reading/writing I'm using the
A fairly common question. Basically using multiple threads will not make your hard drive go any faster. Instead performing concurrent request can make it slower.
Disk subsystems, esp IDE, EIDE, SATA, are designed to read/write sequentially fastest.
By my experience from C++ development the answer is: Yes, using multiple threads can improve performance when reading files. This applies to both sequential and serial access. I proved this more than once, although i always found that the real bottlenecks are somewhere else.
The reason is, that for disk access a thread will be suspended until the disk operation has completed. But most disks today support Native Command Queueing see (SAS) or Segate (SATA) (as well as do most RAID systems) and therefore do not have to handle requests in the order you make them.
Thus if you read 4 file chunks sequential, your program will have to wait for the first chunk, then you request the second one and so one. If you request the 4 chunks with 4 threads, they may be returned all at once. This kind of optimization has limits, but it works (although i have experiences only with C++ here). I measured that multiple threads can improve sequential read performance by more than 100%.
I now did a benchmark with the code below (excuse me, its in cpp). The code reads a 5 MB textfile with a number of threads passed as a command line argument.
The results clearly show that multiple threads always speed up a program:
Update: It came to my mind, that file caching will play quite a role here. So i made copies of the testdata file, rebooted and used a different file for each run. Updated results below (old ones in brackets). The conclusion remains the same.
Runtime in Seconds
Machine A (Dual Quad Core XEON running XP x64 with 4 10k SAS Drives in RAID 5)
Machine B (Dual Core Laptop running XP with one fragmented 2.5 Inch Drive)
Sourcecode (Windows):
Looking at the JavaDoc on RandomAccessFile the class itself is not synchronized. It appears that you can use a synchronous mode for read and write operations. If you don't use the synchronized mode though you are going to have to manage the locks on reading and writing yourself which is far from trivial. The same is going to be true for straight java.io when using multiple threads.
If at all possible you probably want to look at using a database since a database provides this kind of multi-threaded abstraction. You might also look at what syslog options are available for Java or even log4j.
Small operations of
For maximum performance, you are probably better off going straight for
There is an option to memory map your flat file with NIO. In that case the OS memory manager becomes responsible for moving in-out sections of the file. You can also apply region locks for writers.
I am surprised every answer talks about performance, but no one distinguishes latency from throughput, whereas both are performance characteristics. While you may gain additional throughput employing multiple threads, as @RED SOFT ADAIR has shown, you trade off latency, especially in a case of Native Command Sequencing.

Under Tile Radiant heat for Bathroom?
A few months ago on one of the DYI shows, I saw a heating system for bathrooms without heating ducts. Putting it simply, it was like a giant heating pad that installed under the ceramic tile. Has anyone heard of such a product? If so, where can I find them, what are the called, etc. Any help would be Greatly appreciated.

They, or it is called Radiant floor heat. This requires a boiler amd specialized tubing to be run undernieth the floor boards. It's very nice, but can be costly even if you have a boiler.
Hollywood. Thank you for your reply. However, this is not what I saw. It was a flat pad. The only way I can describe it, is as a 6 foot by 6 foot 'heating' pad, just like the one you would use for your back. It was about 1/4 to 1/2" thick, and had and electrical connection. It provides radiant heat, but from an electrical source. It was presented as a new product, designed as an alternative for older houses without HVAC ducts in the room.

Effectiveness of benthic foraminiferal and coral assemblages as water quality indicators on inshore reefs of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
- S. UthickeAffiliated withAustralian Institute of Marine Science Email author

- , B. SchaffelkeAffiliated withAustralian Institute of Marine Science
Although the debate about coral reef decline focuses on global disturbances (e.g., increasing temperatures and acidification), local stressors (nutrient runoff and overfishing) continue to affect reef health and resilience. The effectiveness of foraminiferal and hard-coral assemblages as indicators of changes in water quality was assessed on 27 inshore reefs along the Great Barrier Reef. Environmental variables (i.e., several water quality and sediment parameters) and the composition of both benthic foraminiferal and hard-coral assemblages differed significantly between four regions (Whitsunday, Burdekin, Fitzroy, and the Wet Tropics). Grain size and organic carbon and nitrogen content of sediments, and a composite water column parameter (based on turbidity and concentrations of particulate matter) explained a significant amount of variation in the data (tested by redundancy analyses) in both assemblages. Heterotrophic species of foraminifera were dominant in sediments with high organic content and in localities with low light availability, whereas symbiont-bearing mixotrophic species were dominant elsewhere. A similar suite of parameters explained 89% of the variation in the FORAM index (a Caribbean coral reef health indicator) and 61% in foraminiferal species richness. Coral richness was not related to environmental setting. Coral assemblages varied in response to environmental variables, but were strongly shaped by acute disturbances (e.g., cyclones, Acanthaster planci outbreaks, and bleaching), thus different coral assemblages may be found at sites with the same environmental conditions. Disturbances also affect foraminiferal assemblages, but they appeared to recover more rapidly than corals. Foraminiferal assemblages are effective bioindicators of turbidity/light regimes and organic enrichment of sediments on coral reefs.

I read this in one day, couldn't put it down. Nidal has fascinated me since I first got the old Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting hardcover, and when I started my first PFRPG campaign the only info I could find about it was the Zon-Kuthon article from Skeletons of Scarwall and the great Nisroch chapter from Cities of Golarion, so I started the campaign out in Nisroch and went from there.
The author's interpretation of the Joyful Things was the only thing that didn't really match up with what I had imagined, but no less the great for that. I don't want to spoil anything, but just want to say that this novel exceeded any expectations I had about a story set in Nidal, and also gave surprisingly awesome and intriguing life to the ecology and society of the winged Strix of Cheliax.
Don't pass this one up, it's incredible.
Just finished Winter Witch, and I loved the entire thing. I would highly recommend both of the published Pathfinder Tales novels to any fan of fantasy in a hearbeat, and can't wait until the next one comes out!
This first novel of the Pathfinder tales line is one of the best fantasy novels I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I've never read any of the other stories about Varian or Radovan before, but after reading this book I'm tempted to get the AP's just for David Gross's stories in them.
I just finished this book 3 days ago, having picked it up from Borders a week ago, and it was an act of discipline to make myself complete the novel before shouting from the rooftops (electronically, I guess, although that would probably be writing all in caps and rather annoying) with a review about how great it is.
The really neat thing is that I've known for a while that I could order this book from Paizo, and was planning on it when I could afford it, but going to Borders and seeing this right along with the FR and DL and SW books was exciting because it was an actualization that the whole Pathfinder thing had come full circle, from adventures to campaign setting to role-playing game and now a fiction line!
I am a huge fan of anything by Steven Brust, and also love the Drizzt books by R.A. Salvatore, and a recent review in KQ stated that if you like these things you will like this book, but in my opinion even if you've never read or even don't like these things you will still most likely love Prince of Wolves.
It reads like an epistolary novel, as if you have found a strange journal by serendipity and are now reading something meant for someone else, which draws you into the story and keeps you grappled there at least until the end of a chapter. The change of perspective and pacing were actually something that I have only seen done well in very few novels, and the great thing about the way Prince of Wolves does it is that you want to continue reading, however once you get to the end of a chapter if you have to take a break or stretch or real life intrudes you know you're going to come back to something new and exciting. I usually read a book of this size in about 1-2 days, but I enjoyed taking my time with this one.
It has everything in it that makes the Golarion campaign setting such a great thing, and brings to life many things that before had seemed like only concepts or conceits. Paizo has picked the perfect vessel for the maiden voyage of their fiction line, and I am definitely picking up the next novel and subscribing as soon as I can fit it into my budget.

GeoBiotics, LLC
|GeoBiotics, LLC Patent applications
|Patent application number
|METHOD FOR RECOVERING METAL VALUES FROM REFRACTORY SULFIDE ORE - A method for recovering metal values from refractory sulfide ores is provided. The method includes the steps of separating clays and fines from crushed refractory sulfide ore, forming a heap from the refractory sulfide ore, producing a concentrate of refractory sulfide minerals from the separated fines and adding the concentrate to the heap, bioleaching the heap to thereby oxidize iron sulfides contained therein, and hydrometallurgically treating the bioleached ore to recover metal values contained therein.
|HIGH TEMPERATURE HEAP BIOLEACHING PROCESS - A heap is constructed with hypogenic copper sulfide bearing ore to include exposed sulfide mineral particles at least 25 weight % of which are hypogenic copper sulfides. The concentration of the exposed sulfide mineral particles is such that the heap includes at least 10 Kg of exposed sulfide sulfur per tonne of solids in the heap. At least 50% of the total copper in the heap is in the form of hypogenic copper sulfides. A substantial portion of the heap is heated to at least 50° C. The heap is inoculated with a thermophilic microorganism, and bioleaching is carried out so that sufficient sulfide mineral particles in the heap are biooxidized to oxidize at least 10 Kg of sulfide sulfur per tonne of solids in the heap and to cause the dissolution of at least 50% of the copper in the heap in a relatively short period of time.
|METHOD FOR PRODUCING SYNFUEL FROM BIODEGRADABLE CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL - A bioreactor for producing synfuel from carbonaceous material includes a stacked particle heap comprising biodegradable carbonaceous material, an aerobic microbial consortium fermenting the biodegradable carbonaceous material into synfuel, and a gas impermeable barrier operatively covering the stacked particle heap. The covered particle heap is purged with at least one non-oxygenated gas. The bioreactor also includes a supply of anaerobic microorganisms which biodegrade the carbonaceous material within the stacked particle heap into synfuel. The synfuel is mixed with at least one reactor byproduct. The reactor byproducts are separated from the synfuel, which may include synthetic petroleum, alcohol, oil, and/or a gaseous fuel containing methane.
|PRE-TREATMENT OF FEED TO NON-STIRRED SURFACE BIOREACTOR - The invention relates to a process for the pre-treatment of feed to a non-stirred surface heap leach bioreactor by applying in sequence first and second pre-treatment solutions to a feed to a non-stirred surface heap leach bioreactor, in which the first solution has an iron content greater than 5 g/l and pH below 2, and the second solution contains a substantially higher microbial population. The invention further relates to methods of adapting a microbial population for use in a non-stirred surface heap leach bioreactor.

AbstractThe majority of students and educators would probably agree that students are better able to grasp scientific concepts from the use of hands-on activities and other inquiry-based educational practices than from typical lecture problem solving methods. Anasphere, Inc is working to make inquiry based tools and materials for weather and climate education more readily available for students and educators and given current global climate change issues the importance of educating students in these areas is of vital national and global importance. The AnaSonde, Anaspheres privately developed radiosonde, is the perfect teaching tool with which students can gain handson experience when learning about weather and climate science; however, its current user pool is very limited due to the requirement that users have an amateur radio license.

Thanksgiving is a great time to spend a special day with your friends and family, eating delicious food and socializing.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Through-the-window Long Exposure Winter Night Shot - NEX-6

Through-the-window Long Exposure Winter Night Shot - NEX-6
I took this photo last night from my back window (zero-degree temperatures made going outside highly undesirable). It was a 30-second exposure at 16mm using the kit lens shot as a JPEG with long-exposure noise reduction turned off. I had to do quite a bit of editing in Lightroom, especially to get the noise under control (a little more difficult when working with stars) but I thought the end result turned out pretty good. The ice on top of the snow helped create some nice reflections. This is in Negaunee, MI.

Official transcripts and diplomas consist of documentation sent directly from the institution attended and should bear the original stamp, seal and signature of a school official. If original documentation cannot be obtained directly from the school, either a true copy of the original from the institution or an attested copy will be sufficient as "official" documentation.
In all cases, the documentation must be sealed and signed by the institution verifying the information and sent directly from the school or attesting service bearing the stamp, seal and signature required.
We need to receive the official transcripts in order to issue and send you your I-20. Your I-20 won't be issued if the transcripts haven't been received, so please arrange this promptly to avoid any delay in processing.
Important: All transcripts or diplomas that are not in English must be accompanied by an official translation into English.
E-mail your complete résumé (curriculum vitae) to your admissions counselor. Your résumé must include the following information:
For an example of the formatting we require to assess your academic and professional qualifications, please see the CV/Résumé template provided.
You are not required to take the SAT, ACT, GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) or GRE (Graduate Record Examinations); however, if you have taken any of these tests, please e-mail the scanned official documents to your admissions counselor.
Please note that although these tests are not a standard requirement for admission, depending on our evaluation of your application your Admissions Counselor may require any of these tests for admission to MUM.
The purpose of the telephone interview with the MBA Accounting Professionals Program office is to evaluate your proficiency with double-entry accounting according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as practiced in the U.S.
Applicants who cannot demonstrate sufficient competency in this interview will be denied or deferred to a future entry. You will be responsible for alerting your admissions counselor when you are prepared for this interview.
Your proficiency in double-entry bookkeeping will be tested, including adjusting and closing journal entries according to U.S.-GAAP. Also, you will be asked questions about the differences in accounting for perpetual and periodic inventory systems. To prepare properly for this interview, you may need to study (or review) the American system of double-entry bookkeeping.

It is a book you will want to bring with you to the U.S. If you cannot obtain the recommended text, and do not already have an American text, you should contact your local lending library to borrow a copy of an American financial accounting text. Please note that a UK text will not suffice.
All entering MBA students are expected to know the basics of Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint software programs. In addition, applicants are encouraged to learn a computerized accounting system, such as Peachtree or QuickBooks, which are widely used in the U.S.
We hope this information is helpful to you in preparing for your interview for the MBA in Accounting Program. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your counselor.
Ask one of your teachers, professors or supervisors to submit the online recommendation form based on the directions provided. The best recommendations come from individuals who have supervised your work during the past year.

The $17.2 million proposal is the option Stormwater Management says would displace the least amount of people.
But, you're talking about in some cases, property that's belonged to families for generations.
John Sqaw is trying to live the American dream; he's got his house with the white picket fence, and an ugly debate with the city of Tallahassee. One he says could turn his backyard into a holding pond.
"All I can see in that holding pond is nothing but filth," says Sqaw.
Tallahassee Stormwater Management says the proposed holding pond on Frenchtown's Rollins Street will help to control the flood waters that drown parts of the community.
John and his neighbors agree flooding is a problem, but, the retention pond is not the way to go.
"I don't want to move on, but I can move on, but some of these people out here can't move on because they have no place to go," Sqaw says.
Stormwater Management has an alternative. The new option going before City Commissioners next week removes the Rollins Street pond, expanding at two other pond sites.
"It would be substantially less effective, it would offer about a five to six year storm flood protection, some areas more than that," says John Buss, Director of Stormwater Management.
And Buss says, the flooding issues will not be solved. Jenson Taylor who's lived in the neighborhood since 1937 is fed up. Retention pond or not, he wants something done.
"Some people are against it because they are not being aggravated by the water and some would like to see it, but I would like to see some kind of relief," Taylor adds.
Stormwater Management's John Buss did say that if the city goes with the option where the Rollins Street Pond is removed. Flooding will continue to be a problem along old Bainbridge Road, Dent and Dover streets.

How many pastors does it take to paint the inside walls of a house? Ten, working for almost three hours, in the case of ELCA pastors from the Washington County Conference of the Delaware-Maryland Synod. Their effort helped finish a Habitat for Humanity house paid for by the conference, Habitat and Thrivent Financial Services for Lutherans. The project involves members of 15 ELCA congregations. Working on it "builds community," said Gerry Johnson, conference dean. "That's what we should be about."

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/062,219, filed Jan. 24, 2008, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The invention provides apparatus to control the movement of heat and moisture and control temperature and humidity, by evaporation and air cooling with air flow between an armor shell, apparel, or helmet covering human or animal body using; air flow channels, water wicking material covered heat pipes, or thermal conductors in contact with human or animal body and humidity and/or temperature reactive auto-actuated laminate impedance structures or humidity and/or temperature reactive auto-actuated laminate valves.
The invention provides apparatus to control the movement of heat and chemicals and thereby control temperature and humidity, by evaporation and air cooling with fluid flow between a cover over a living body using fluid flow channels, liquid wicking material covered thermal conduits in contact with living body, and chemical concentration and/or temperature reactive auto-actuated laminate structures with varying impedance to the movement of heat and chemicals.
The invention provides apparatus to control heat and moisture flux to control temperature and humidity environment, by evaporation and air cooling with airflow between an armor shell, apparel, or helmet covering a living body using; air flow channels, water wicking material covered thermal conduits in contact with body, and humidity and/or temperature reactive auto-actuated laminate impedance structures which therein vary impedance to the flux of heat, moisture and/or fluid flow.
The use of body armor, helmets, fire proof suits, hazardous environment suits, cock pit shells, thick garments, shoes, and gloves on people such as motor cross racing drivers, racing car drivers, soldiers, police, and firefighters can lead to excessive temperatures on the wearers body. The human body reaction to maintain constant temperature is to sweat and cool by evaporation on the skin. Due to the confined conditions and lack of air circulation under the armor the sweating does not result in evaporation and effective cooling of the wearer. Thus sweat builds up under the armor and the wearer becomes uncomfortable, this can result in dehydration, in some situations even possibly lead to hyperthermia or hypothermia. In addition the moist and warm conditions on the skin are ideal growth conditions for bacterial growth and can lead to skin and wound infections of the wearers. Body oils from the wearer can also interfere with efficient wicking of sweat. In cold weather environments excessive cooling through body armor can also lead to an opposite situation of chilling the wearer of the armor.
The disclosed invention is to provide a means of wicking sweat off the body and skin onto a wicking surface covering the padding or of the of the body armor, and creating air flow passages in the padding of the helmet or body armor to allow for effective cooling by evaporation of the sweat from the wearer. Padding contact and confinement of the body armor interferes with the normal evaporative cooling of sweating and evaporation to air flow. By placing thermally conductive materials, or heat pipes inside the padding to transfer heat on contact with the body and with the evaporating sweat areas onto the wicking surfaces it restores the cooling effect of sweating. To provide optimum heat removal control to maintain desirable temperatures and humidity surrounding the wearer, humidity or temperature bi-material laminate actuating valves open to let air flow when temperatures or humidity are high to maximize air flow and evaporation and close when the temperatures are low or humidity is low to retain heat and maintain a comfortable environment about the wearer. The laminate actuators can be distributed through out the air vent channels under the body armor to achieve local control thereby uniformly maintaining desirable environmental conditions through out the apparel. Laminate actuators in the form of exterior layers or fabric can be used to cover the exterior of the body armor or helmet to act as self adjusting variable thermal insulation and ventilation to the body armor and thermally conductive elements. To insure the cooling effect of flowing air in high humidity environments water absorbent and heat dissipation an air intake filter be used to de-humidify the air flow entering the system. The air intake filter can also be an insect, dust and/or bacterial filter to keep the air flow space inside the armor clean. An air fan can be used to pump air through the system when the system is stationary or high power cooling performance is needed or the air flow resistance into passages will not allow sufficient evaporative cooling to be effective. The padding and wicking surfaces can be treated with antibacterial coating to prevent fungal and bacterial growth. Water can be distributed to the evaporating areas with tubes or membranes onto of the thermal conductors or heat pipes for additional cooling. This patent application incorporates laminated actuators of our filed patent application U.S. Ser. No. 11/702,821, filed Feb. 6, 2007, based on U.S. Provisional Application 60/765,607, filed Feb. 6, 2006 "Laminate Actuators and Valves" as if fully set forth herein as an air and heat flow control mechanism because of their simplicity, unique low mass and structural formability to be incorporated into apparel.

Several typical embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the following frames. In these drawings several variations in assembly and arrangements will be shown. Please note that the drawings are drawn disproportionately to illustrate the physical features of this invention. In
In operation of the helmet air flows 1 into the channels of the padding 14, 4 of the helmet removing some heat through the padding by heating up the incoming air, if the outside air is cooler than the wearer. Additional cooling occurs from the evaporation of sweat which is wicked 14 through silk or COOL MAX® (Intex Corporation, 1031 Summit Ave. Greensboro, N.C. 27405) onto the surface of the padded heat pipes into the air flow channels 3. The air flow 1 is blocked by the laminate actuators 5,6,9,11 if the humidity or temperatures are low in the helmet 2. If the humidity or temperatures are high the laminate actuators 5,6,9,11 open and air flows 1 and evaporative cooling occurs and heat is removed from the surface of the wearer 14 via the heat pipes of thermally conductive pads 4. The moisture laden air flow exits 10 from the helmet though vent holes 15 or out though the back rim valves 11 of the helmet 2. Air flow movement is expected to be driven by thermal convention or forced by the motion of the wearer on a motorcycle or vehicle. Later drawings will show how the air flow can be forced through the padding channels with a fan or pump.
Another construction example of a laminate actuator is to form the laminated layers with a porous polyester substrate or polyethylene 121 and a temperature or humidity expanding material layer 122 such as Nylon, Nafion, or an aromatic polyetherketone resin having protonic acid group for expansion. The porosity of the substrate 121 can enhance the adhesion between the layers and also increase the sensitivity to moisture by allowing diffusion through the substrate membrane 121 to the expanding material layer 122. The expanding material layer 122 is coated onto the one side of the polyester substrate 121. Specific deposit patterns and thicknesses of the expanding layer 122 can be used to efficiently utilize the expansion polymers and create effective actuation patterns. Additional layers of coatings and electrodes such as piezoelectric materials can be deposited on the substrate 121 or expansion layers 122 such as a piezoelectric material of polydifluoethylene (PDVF), and electrodes such as vapor deposited platinum films, or sliver print. These additional coatings can provide for functions to act as sensors to the relative humidity, temperature, or be electrically stimulated to open the actuators or cause them to oscillate and pump air flow.
Physical elements of this invention include:
While this invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, modifications, and variations of the invention may be constructed without departing from the scope of the invention.

- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
Discover the tricks that your brain uses to keep you from writing-and how to beat them. Do you: Want to write, but find it impossible to get started? Keep your schedules so full that you don't have any time to write? Wait until the last minute to write, even though you know you could do a better job if you gave yourself more time? Suddenly remember ten other things that you need to do whenever you sit down to write? Sabotage your own best efforts with lost files, missed deadlines, or excessive self-criticism? The good news is that you're not lazy, undisciplined, or lacking in willpower, talent or ambition. You just need to learn what's going on inside your brain, and harness the power of brain science to beat resistance and develop a productive writing habit. In Around the Writer's Block, Rosanne Bane-- a creativity coach and writing teacher for more than 20 years-- uses the most recent breakthroughs in brain science to help us understand, in simple, clear language, where writing resistance comes from: a fight-or-flight response hard-wired into our brain, which can make us desperate to flee the sources of our anxieties by any means possible. Bane's three-part plan, which has improved the productivity of thousands of writers, helps you develop new reliable writing habits, rewire the brain's responses to the anxiety of writing, and turn writing from a source of stress and anxiety into one of joy and personal growth.
