A component is a reusable software entity that is developed and deployed independently. Component based software development has many architectural advantages. In the previous article Componentizing a Monolithic Application in Java, we learnt the need for componentizing applications for getting the benefits of reusability and modularity. In this article let us look at how multi layered application can be componentized. We take the example of a multi-layered POS (Point-Of-Sale) application and understand how the application can be componentized at various layers like presentation, business and persistence layers.
Point of Sale - An Example Application
Consider a Point-of-Sale (POS) application meant for tracking orders and payments in a restaurant. The POS is used to track the tables being occupied by the guests, orders being made from various tables, and to print bills. Apart from these operational features, the POS application can also be used for restaurant administration. Total number of tables in the restaurant, list of foods sold in the restaurant, their prices, and the associated tax rates can be managed. The use cases to be supported by the POS application are described in brief below:
- Guests Check-in - This use case is invoked by the waiters when new guests arrive at the restaurant. POS displays a list of empty tables, and the waiter chooses an empty table and seats the guests in that table.
- Place Order - When guests from a table order for food, waiter invokes this use case. POS prompts the waiter for the table number, food item, and quantity ordered. POS consolidates and maintains orders against each table.
- Modify Order - Waiter can modify the quantity of any order already placed.
- Cancel Order - Waiter can cancel any order already placed.
- Pay Bill - Waiter invokes this use case to print the bill and collect payment for all items ordered from a table.
- Guests Check-out - When guests from a table leave, waiter invokes this usecase to mark the table as empty.
- Collections Report - At any point of time, the POS user can look at all the past payments collected.
Existing Implementation of POS
The existing implementation of POS uses a typical layered architecture pattern consisting of presentation layer, business layer, and data layer. The layered architecture is supported by the MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern. In the MVC paradigm, Model is responsible to capture real world business information through software objects. View is responsible to present the business information captured by Model visually for human consumption. Controller is responsible to handle user inputs and mediate between View and Model.
Figure 1 - Existing POS Application Architecture
Figure 2 - Objects in POS Application Layers
In the layered architecture of POS, Views and Controllers belong to the Presentation layer. Information exchange across the layer borders is enabled by the Model objects carrying business domain data. The multiple layers of POS are shown in Figure 1. The arrow directions indicate the control flow, or in other words, direction of invocation across layers. Figure 2 expands on Figure 1 and provides the list of objects present in each layer.
Model Objects
Model objects carry the business domain relevant information. In the restaurant business domain, we have Food, Table, Order, Bill, and TableConfig model objects. In addition, there is a FoodCategory that each Food belongs to, an OrderItem, a collection of which makes up an order, and a BillLineItem, a collection of which belongs to a Bill.
Figure 3 - Model Objects
All the model objects are presented in Figure 3. Food object is responsible for carrying information such as food name, price, tax rate, and the food category. The table object is responsible for storing the table number and the status on whether the table is occupied or empty. If the table is occupied, the table stores an Order object associated with the table. The Order object captures items ordered from the table. Each OrderItem is an order for multiple quantities of a food item. The payment toward all the items ordered from a table is captured and persisted in the form of a Bill object. Each OrderItem in Order has a corresponding BillLineItem in the Bill.
Presentation Layer
The presentation is based on a console-based UI in the current POS implementation. The presentation layer consists of Views and Controllers. Each UI view is responsible for showing one screen to the user and collecting input from the user interactively. The controller objects are responsible for processing the input gathered by the UI view objects. In addition, the controllers also control the UI screen flow - they direct the next UI screen to be shown after each screen based on user input. To process the input given by the users, the controller objects depend on business objects in the Business Layer.
Business Layer
The business layer contains objects that implement the business logic rules. The controllers from the presentation layer make use of the services offered by this layer. There are four business objects in the business layer, which are presented below:
- FoodBiz - FoodBiz is responsible for business logic associated with food creation, modification, and categorization.
- OrderBiz - It implements all the business logic associated with maintaining orders placed by guests in different tables, addition and modification of order items, and cancellation of ordered items.
- TableBiz - It is responsible for maintaining total number of tables based on configuration, blocking and releasing tables based on guests check-in and checkout.
- BillBiz - This object is responsible for printing bill, and persisting bill details for future reference.
Business objects that need to persist the model data objects depend on the persistence layer.
Persistence Layer
The persistence layer is responsible for transfering the state information stored in the model objects to a persistent storage and for retrieving it back to in-memory objects. This layer consists of Data Access Objects (DAO). DAO interfaces are defined for TableConfig, Food, and Bill objects. Concrete DAO objects implement these interfaces specific to the database used. The example code that accompanies this article uses Db4o database. Each of the generic DAO is implemented by the Db4o specific concrete DAO object.
Having analyzed the existing application in depth, which provides all the required functionalities, why should we componentize this application? Componentization in general helps in two different endeavors: (i) improve maintainability and (ii) extract reusable parts for storage and future reuse.
Let's investigate the maintainability aspect. Assume that there is a new business rule imposed in the POS application. The POS is supposed to charge a gratuity of 15% for any guest group consisting of eight or more members. On analysis of the existing application architecture, the BillBiz is the right object that can shoulder this new responsibility, because BillBiz implements the business logic that calculates the Bill amount. The BillBiz class diagram is presented in Figure 4.
Figure 4 - BillBiz Class Diagram
The BillBiz object has a payBill(Table table):Bill method. This method implements the business logic for billing. This method can be modified to accommodate the gratuity-related business change. In addition to this change, the calculated gratuity for each bill needs to be captured in some model object and persisted. The PayBillUI class in the presentation layer also needs to be changed to display the gratuity amount.
If we make these changes in the existing application as is, we need to recompile and redeploy the whole application, even though the application has a layered architecture. This is because these layers are logical and not physical. Moreover, to isolate the impact of the new business requirement, we need to isolate the Billing functionality from other functionality such as Order Management and Food Management functionality. Let's see how componentization can address this maintenance issue.
Componentized POS Application
Let's split the business layer of the POS into four different components as shown in Figure 5. By splitting the application into different components, the Billing responsibility is isolated into the Bill component.
Figure 5 - Functional Componentization of POS
In the componentized structure in Figure 5, when a new business rule for Billing is required, the Bill component can be replaced with a new Bill component without affecting rest of the application. In order to achieve the component structure proposed in Figure 6, we package the objects from the original implementation into different component packages as per Table 1.
Business & Data
Business & Data
Business & Data
Business & Data
Table 1 - Mapping of New Components to Old Objects and Layers
As a general pattern, it can be observed that each UI component consists of necessary view and controller objects. Each business component consists of necessary business objects and DAO objects for persistence. Apart from these components, the objects from the Model are packaged together as an object library, which is referred by each of these components. The objects inside the Model library are listed in Table 2. These are the same model objects that were presented in Figure 3.
Model Object Library
Table 2 - Objects inside the Model Object library
Once we repackage the objects from the existing implementation into components as discussed above, we get component architecture for the POS application as shown in Figure 7. In the diagram the connector with a lollipop and a receptacle represents a component assembly between two components. In a component assembly, one component exposes a service and another component consumes that service. For example, the Table component exposes TableBiz service which is consumed by all the other components.
Figure 6 - Functional Componentization of POS
Figure 8 provides an expanded view of Figure 7, providing inside details of each component.
Figure 7 - Inside individual component
Replacing a Bill Component
As discussed earlier, we have a business rule change request that requires an additional gratuity amount to be charged to those guest groups whose size is eight or larger. We had reasoned in the earlier analysis that the business logic change can be implemented in the BillBiz class in the Bill component, in the payBill() method. Part of the code from this method is presented in Figure 8.
Figure 8 - Code Snippet from payBill(Table table):Bill method of BillBiz
As can be seen from the code snippet in Figure 8, the payBill() method obtains the Order object associated with the Table for which the Bill has to be generated. For each OrderItem in the Order, a BillLineItem is generated. For each BillLineItem, the base price, tax, and total price are calculated. All BillLineItems are kept in a collection that becomes part of the generated Bill object. The Bill object also has a total base price, total tax, and total payable amount. These values are calculated as sums of corresponding price components of the constituent bill line items. In the business logic change request, the total price of the bill should have an additional component called gratuity, if the number of guests is equal to or more than 8.
The current total price of the bill is given by:
Total Price = Base Price + Tax
With the introduction of gratutity, this would have to be changed to
Total Price = Base Price + Tax + Gratuity
Gratuity = 0.15 * Base Price (if number of guests >=8)
= 0 (otherwise)
The payBill() method code snippet shown in Figure 8 can be modified to accommodate the above change. However, we need to capture the new gratuity element in the model objects. In order to give least interference to other components, we introduce a new model object called as Gratuity. This object is responsible for storing the gratuityAmount and the Bill object to which the gratuityAmount is applicable. The class diagram of Gratuity is presented below.
Figure 9 - Gratuity Object in the Model
We shall call the modified Bill component as Bill2, and the modified BillUI component as BillUI2. The modified payBill method that implements the addition of a gratuity component to the bill is shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10 - Modified Code Snippet from payBill(Table table):Bill method of BillBiz
As can be seen in Figure 8 and Figure 10, the new code has created a Gratuity object if the number of guests is equal to or more than eight. It has also added a necessary amount to the total amount in the Bill object. The BillUI2 component would retrieve the Gratuity object associated with the bill and display the gratuity amount if it is non-zero. To facilitate this retrieval, a new method called getGratuityForBill() is added to BillBiz class in the Bill2 component. The modified BillBiz class is shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11 - Modified BillBiz Class in Bill2 Component
We reassemble the POS application by substituting Bill and BillUI components with the Bill2 and BillUI2 components. Of course, the new Model object library is to be used. With these changes, the component architecture of the application is presented in Figure 12.
Figure 12 - Modified Component Architecture of POS Application
At any point, the Bill2 and BillUI2 components can be replaced with the old Bill and BillUI components to change the behavior of the application back to the old. Thus evolution of the application with the insertion and removal of new functionalities can be done by changing components in the application assembly without changing the application code.
Componentization provides many benefits. In this article we demonstrated how a multi-layered POS application can be componentized. One of the important properties of a component is its pluggable nature. In the POS example, we saw how componentization facilitates modularity and easy maintenance through asimple replacement of pluggable components.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

In the wraths of my twisted thoughts
In the warped, tempestuous intestines

In the veins that carry putrid blood
In the pumping of a heart
That has battled heartache and betrayal.
I want to get lost inside myself
Enter the pores that lead to oblivion
Watch the bacteria form,
Ally myself with the germs fighting an endless battle,
Surround myself with the cells
That mechanically follow the path laid before them.
I want to get lost inside myself
Through the paths of an all too twisted brain
In the eyes that have seen too much
In the mouth that delivers lies and delusions
In the kidneys that can't take one more coffee,
One more energy drink, one more ounce of caffeine.
I want to get lost inside myself

In the smoke-filled lungs that house too many cigarettes
In the ocean of a liver that has yet to break down the last char

Come to think about it, it feels fucking good. For a second, that is. Then I notice that I was simply caught in between one of my many layers, caught, twisted and tangled.

There it is, upon the wind
I heard a name that touched within
I heard a song within my heart
I felt the final piece impart
Something new I'd known before
And suddenly, I wanted more
A tender touch upon my face
By your softest loving grace
A fire desire for your lips
To hear your laugh beside my quips
To warm your heart when it would snow
To see your soul so brightly glow
I wonder if you've heard the call
Harder could not my heart so fall
Feeling full within, beside your part
Upon the wind, the call of heart
With A Burning Passion
The best in me is brought forth by your name in mind
and such feeling brings upon a kindness so keen,
Imperfect as we may be, we may stride,
hands held and lips embraced at every stop.
The future ahead expands, clouded,
Yet illuminated by such passion.
Be it infatuation that we feel,
then be it justified by a Loving Lord.
And in case such love is to soon born,
and too swift in developing,
may it be known that the matter at hand
is that it is real and it grows
quicker than time transcends the human psyche.
O'Angels on high, I beseech you to smile upon this love,
for it is invigorated by this first love of mine,
For that which is God my master.
Beautiful in every sense is she,
my love is swiftly but surely growing,
A human heart cannot contain such a thing
as what is being molded within me.

"Chi...there is only one pair left...I don't think it's even worth asking for volunteers anymore?" Emi asked, sucking down another water bottle.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Chi sighed before taking out the last item in the bag and tossing it to you. It was a McR's visor. You immediately knew whom your partner was. Sadao Maou. Although Emi kept referring to him as the Devil or a demon at times...what was that all about?
You looked to your partner and handed his item back, as soon as he caught it, the rest of the group began to slowly leave the apartment, leaving you and Maou alone. You had wondered how your turn was going to go, seeing how Urushihara was made catatonic by his partner and poor Ashiya got beat up by
Just as you and the other girl were about to pick your sticks to draw form the bag, a strange presence approach the Thousand Sunny. You turned around to see a man dressed in purple. He appeared to be blind and used a stick to feel his way around the ship. You had no doubt in your mind that this newcomer was Fujitora.
"Excuse me, is it too late for me to join the game?" Fujitora asked, walking up to Sanji. He looked around and saw that since Marco was the only person left between you and this other girl, so mathematically, one of you weren't going to have a turn. To make it fair, Sanji would have no choice but to allow Fujitora to join.
"As long as you promise to not bring harm to the ladies..." Sanji warned holding up the bag to Fujitora. "Put an item in the bag that belongs to you. Don't let the girls see it."
Fujitora nodded and reached into his pocket and pulled out his item. He kept it hidden within his fists as he placed it inside the bag.
"Alright ladies~! Now we have enoug
Being a frail person, you had waited and prolonged your turn with someone in the closet, hoping to get a gentle partner, but then Usopp was already taken, then there was that incident with Doflamingo...it really was a fifty-fifty chance now on if you were to get a 'gentle' or 'rough' partner as you so described the remaining male players. You slowly walked up to the purse and grabbed the first thing that jumped into your hand.
It was a hat, more so, it was a marine's hat. So that left either Akoji, the Ice Man, or Akainu, the so called Lava Mutt. You turned to both Marine Admirals and waved the hat in front of them, Akoji chuckled, placing a hand over his mouth and his shoulders shaking to try and contain his outright laughter. Garp, however, put two and two together and flat out laughed.
"Go on, Akainu! She picked your item! It'll be fun, don't worry! If and old man like myself can get a smooch on these young ladies then you should have no problem~!" Garp cheered while you stared at t
SMIH ONE PIECE Luffy
Sanji's eyes scanned the vast crowd of ladies before him, his eyes eventually settling on you. He smiled and made his way to you in his usual love-tornado like fashion. He knelt on one knee and held out a hand for you.
"My Lady~! Would you like to go first?" the erotic cook cooed.
You blushed slightly at his courteous behavior, not having experienced much of Sanji's antics yourself, and nervously took the hand he offered to you. "S-sure. No harm in going first...I-I guess."
Sanji pulled you towards the center of the gathered crowd and offered you the velvet bag with a wink. "Good luck, beautiful!"
You nodded and placed a blind hand into the bag and shuffled its contents around, waiting for something to find its way into your grasp. Suddenly, you felt something cold and hard brush against your sweaty palms. You grabbed it and pulled it out. It was a bone from the meat that was served earlier, and it still had some meat on it. You made a grimaced face as you looked around for the owner.

All Eyes Are On Hailee Steinfeld — Literally
Every fashion week, there's always one or two shows that stun, but leave you wondering who in the world is going to wear the clothes; Kenzo's Fall 2013 show was one of them. The collection practically demands you look at them looking back at you. Hailee Steinfeld, however, seems like she didn't even bat an eyelash at the thought of not wearing the peeped-out Crepe 'Maxi Eye' Print Dress. Look at her, she's beaming. She knows you're staring, and she is reveling in it.
Literally all eyes were on the actress at the Ender's Game Comic Con event in San Diego. Knowing the intensity of the print, Steinfeld kept her accessories to a minimum and opted for a patterned green manicure. She slipped her feet into some lacy booties that complimented rather than detracted from the Kenzo print. Her fearless poise in the dress almost makes it seems like anyone could wear it, but those eyes are hiding something behind their carefully knitted threads.

This was a day of exercise and eventually some experimenting with our satellite TV reception. The rest of the day was taken up with some exercise in the Pool eventually a fantastic Dinner before relaxing in our campsite.
Unhooking from our Lynchburg Campsite, dumping tanks and driving to our next campground, in Williamsburg, VA. Once at the Campground, the site selection was not good, and we had to take one that was very narrow and without good satellite service. But camping is about making concessions, and we made the best of what we had.
Preparing ourselves and our RV to leave Lynchburg the next day, and travel to our next camping site near Williamsburg. Making our camper safe for the trip.

Redskins camp countdown: 21 carries per game for Alfred Morris
Jul 2, 2014, 2:55 PM EDT
We're counting down to the start of training camp here by looking at some numbers that will be keys to the Redskins' 2014 season.
21—Carries per game for Alfred Morris
For some reasons, the impression exists that Jay Gruden is a pass happy coach. The term is being thrown around a lot when talking about the fantasy prospects for the Redskins' skill position players.
But Gruden's offense in Cincinnati was far from pass heavy during the three years he was calling plays for the Bengals. The team attempted 1,764 passes during that time. That total tied for 19th-most in the NFL, exactly as many as, coincidentally, the Washington Redskins.
Gruden's Bengals ran the ball 1,366 times. That was 11th in the NFL, just three carries behind, yes, the Redskins.
You can't look at those numbers and come to the conclusion that Gruden's offense is particularly reliant on the pass. To be sure, things may be different in Washington with a more naturally talented quarterback to work with than he had in Cincinnati. But there is no reason to believe that Gruden is going to go all Steve Spurrier on us and chuck the ball around the yard all game, every game. He is a believer in the importance of the running game and he won't abandon it.
And that brings us to 21, the ideal number of carries per game for Alfred Morris in 2014. That comes to 336 carries over the course of a 16-game season. It's one more rushing attempt than the 335 he had in his record-setting 2012 season when he ran for 1,615 yards.
Morris getting 21 carries per game would be a good thing for the Redskins on two sides of the coin. If he's running effectively the offense will be moving the ball well. And if the Redskins have late leads, Morris will be racking up carries to move the chains and kill the clock.

L'Oreal Gold Imperial Infallible Eyeshadow
L'Oreal Gold Imperial Infallible Eyeshadow ($7.49 for 0.12 oz.) is a metallic, yellow gold. There's a slightly subdued quality to the overall color–by a little brown–that keeps it from being a yellow/orange kind of gold. This is why it's not the same as L'Oreal's Eternal Sunshine,, though if you rarely wear gold, one will do; or, if you find that Eternal Sunshine turns orange-y, you might prefer Gold Imperial. Chanel Apprence is browner. Urban Decay Blitz is very similar–less metallic. MAC Sweet & Sour is yellower.Read Full Review
NARS Gentle Cream Cleanser Review
NARS Gentle Cream Cleanser ($29.00 for 4.2 fl. oz.) is supposed to be a "gentle, non-drying cream cleanser with a luxurious lather designed to pamper the skin while washing away makeup and surface impurities." NARS says it is best for normal, dry, and seasonally dry skin, and it is "synthetic fragrance, paraben, and alcohol" free.Read Full Review
OCC Electric Grandma Lip Tar
OCC Electric Grandma Lip Tar ($16.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is described as a "electrified true, classic coral." It's a brightened orange with tangerine shimmer and a slight pink tinge. Guerlain Orange Euphorique is more subdued. Chanel Sari d'Eau is darker. guerlain Gil is darker, redder. Guerlain Gipsy is darker and redder with less shimmer. MAC Vegas Volt is pinker. I was actually surprised that I didn't find anything more similar to this, but the brightness paired with the less-obvious orange-tones made it tough to dupe.Read Full Review

Miscellanous: Childrens' drawings of their grandparents made into costumes
Kids are funny, so are old people. The best way to make a project everyone's going to enjoy is somehow combine the two, especially if you throw in some kind of artistic merit at the same time. Dutch artist Yoni Lefevre has been spending her time asking children to draw their grandparents and then setting to work building costumes out of the weird images they come up with. This is where the magic really happens, funny kids plus old people in costumes? That's just a recipe for the best project we could ever have wished for. Check out the rest of this funny artist's work over on her site.

Justin Bieber Disses Reading, Writing, Education: "I'm Really Not Into That Stuff"
Justin Bieber may be a high school graduate. But don't think that means he'll be reading books anytime soon.
The 18-year-old tween-pop heartthrob recently told the Daily Telegraph that he reluctantly completed his education, earning a high school diploma after passing a test.
"[Finishing high school] was something my mom really wanted me to do, so I had to do it for her," he explained in the interview.
For the Biebz, scholastic ignorance is bliss.

"I mean, this kind of lifestyle has given me a different perspective on life. I've been able to travel the world," he added. "At school, usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading. I'm really not into that stuff."
Reading? Yuck. And Writing? Gross.
Perhaps Bieber's apathetic approach to education explains why the know-nothing star called Indonesia "some random country" when a group of reporters asked him about "Be Alright," a track off his forthcoming album that was recorded in the world's fourth most populous country.
"I recorded [the song] in a studio, some little place. They didn't know what they were doing."
Curiously enough, Bieber's raising money in Australia to help children go to school, something he should've treated with higher regard.
"I grew up without a lot of money. There are kids around the world who don't have the chance to go to school. I want to be able to help them, you know?"
So yes, he'll always lend a
hand dollar. But don't expect Bieber to read them school children any stories.

-Now that I know for sure that there is another book continuing the story, I am changing my stars to 5 stars instead of 4. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because at that time we didn't know if there was going to be another book to continue the story or not. This book was wonderfully written and held my attention throughout the whole story. It is hard to believe that this is her first book. She writes like an experienced writer. I look forward to the next book in this series.
There are a few editing issues but I overlooked them in my rating because I enjoyed the book. Particularly liked her quirky family and her narcolepetic cat. Looking forward to the next book.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK and TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/26/14 -- Recognizing that convenience is the key to customer satisfaction, TouchBistro today announced that it has integrated the Pay at Table service in the PayPal app with its TouchBistro mobile point of sale (POS) solution used by the food and drink industry for tableside ordering. Customers at any participating TouchBistro location in North America can now use the PayPal app on their smartphones to access, view, and quickly and easily pay for their food and drinks - without having to ask their server for their bill or wait for them to process the transaction.
Boehmer, a well-known fine dining restaurant in Toronto, is one of the first restaurants to use the Pay at Table feature as an integrated TouchBistro solution. This video explains how simple it is to use and why it makes good business sense.
The new Pay at Table service is easy to use. Customers simply check in to the restaurant from the PayPal app when they arrive, and the server uses the TouchBistro app to assign them to a table or seat. When the server places the customer's food or drink order from within the TouchBistro app, the details are automatically reflected in real time on the customer's mobile device. Tapping the "See Bill" button in the PayPal app, customers can view their bill at any time, and when ready to pay they can add a tip, or split the bill and check out with PayPal. Once customers confirm payment, transaction details are quickly updated in the TouchBistro app, enabling servers to immediately see when the customer's bill has been settled.
This real-time integration between TouchBistro and the Pay at Table service in the PayPal app simplifies and speeds up the payment process by reducing wait times for customers that are ready to pay their bill and leave, and by minimizing credit card processing times. It also enables restaurants to turn their tables faster. Restaurants that use TouchBistro POS solutions across North America and have a PayPal account can immediately enable and begin using the integrated Pay at Table service.
"There are two pain points that we have identified in the dining experience - ordering and paying - and we are now solving both with the use of mobile technology," said Alex Barrotti, CEO and founder of TouchBistro. "Restaurants that are using TouchBistro's mobile POS solutions for tableside ordering together with the Pay at Table service can now save on average seven minutes per table from the time they seat a customer until they leave the table. This is significant as it enables restaurants to serve more customers and in turn increases their revenues."
About the TouchBistro Mobile POS Solution
TouchBistro brings mobile innovation to the food and beverage industry, providing a modern point-of-sale solution that is easy to use, packed with smart features, integrated with different payment processing options, and at a lower cost. Servers use the TouchBistro iPad app to take tableside customer orders, and instantly submit them to the kitchen and bar. This eliminates the need for servers to enter a customer's order into a separate, distant terminal, which minimizes order errors and increases operations efficiency. With TouchBistro POS, restaurateurs are better equipped to deliver a superior experience to their customers.
About TouchBistro
With offices in New York and Toronto, TouchBistro is a leader in iPad restaurant point-of-sale technology for restaurants, cafes, bars, food trucks, and other food and drink venues. The TouchBistro app has been ranked as the top-grossing food and beverage app in 28 countries on the Apple® App Store(SM). TouchBistro was recently named one of the '2014 Hottest Companies in New York City' by lead411. TouchBistro offers a 45-day free trial that can be converted to a no-contract subscription.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

Center Brad Richardson will play his first game in Vancouver since leaving the organization to sign with the Coyotes last summer.
"I'm excited to play," Richardson said. "I'm not making too much out of it. It's another game, but it's also fun and lots of familiar faces so it's nice."

- Vancouver is 10-1-4 when scoring three or more goals.
- Center Henrik Sedin has 45 points in 57 career games against the Coyotes.

That was relaxing and fun. Do aother one to test something else. I just do it for the music, the bagels and the orange juice...
Haha, i'm glad you liked it. :]
i dont really see what this quiz was suppose to prove, i got a 21, what does that even mean? are high numbers better or worse? nothing in this quiz made any sense...
but it was very well made, and fairly entertaining, i expected a bit more thought, it was a bit too short. i was also expecting something that would make me say "wow, thats amazing, this guy must be a genius" but this seemed like an ordinary random quiz.
You ask a lot of questions. Just like me. :D
Well i'm certainly not a genius if that's what you were hoping for, but,

In her first novel, award-winning Indian screenwriter Arundhati Roy conjures a whoosh of wordplay that rises from the pages like a brilliant jazz improvisation. The God of Small Things is nominally the story of young twins Rahel and Estha and the rest of their family, but the book feels like a million stories spinning out indefinitely; it is the product of a genius child-mind that takes everything in and transforms it in an alchemy of poetry. The God of Small Things is at once exotic and familiar to the Western reader, written in an English that's completely new and invigorated by the Asian Indian influences of culture and language. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch.
'In part a perfectly paced mystery story, in part an Indian Wuthering Heights: a gorgeous and seductive fever dream of a novel, and a truly spectacular debut.' Kirkus 'The God of Small Things genuinely is a masterpiece, utterly exceptional in every way, and there can be little doubt that posterity will place it very near the top of any shortlist of Indian novels published this century.' William Dalyrmple, Harpers and Queen. 'The quality of Ms. Roy's narration is so extraordinary - at once so morally strenuous and so imaginatively supple - that the reader remains enthralled all the way through to its agonizing finish... it evokes in the reader a feeling of gratitude and wonderment.'

When it's expected that the whole world will go ga-ga over all these positive aspects, it's surprising nobody seems to notice the very obvious flaws in this novel. No matter what you say, a novel is about story-telling( from Cerventes to Fuentes, that's the way it has been). And she hasn't yet learnt that. There is no underlying rhythm in the time-travels we encounter all so very often. Even to give your plot a semblance to the incoherent tricks that memory play, you actually have to 'construct' that incoherence. At places, it seemed like a William Burroughs 'book'. And then, the annoying repetition of what another reviewer says as 'Bratspeak'.Lesen Sie weiter... ›
This is very sad tale of two generations of a well to do family of Syrian Christian Indians. Relatives from the West visit and lives are never the same again. It is also a tale of the cast culture and the untouchables and of many people and events that cross the path of the main "tale"
Roy's prose is beautiful. Her ability to create truly vivid images is extraordinary. I took so much pleasure in her description of the many fine details of the lives of her characters. Her unique style of writing that keeps going back to earlier images to revive them in the mind of the reader was most enjoyable.
If you like a clear plot and fast action this book is definitely not for you. There is no plot per se, events unfold very slowly most of the time with lots of digression. I loved that it, it gave me time to build an image in my mind and that image kept on getting developed and refined. The main charachters are sketched but not always in total, this comes across as a given, so you don't miss it.
I absolutely can not wait to read more of her work.
