As Hoosiers, we understand how important it is to assist our veterans and create the best environment for them to succeed when they return home from service.
Early last year, president and CEO of the Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation, Charles Haenlein, said that the state unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans is 20 percent. This is unacceptably high. We must focus all our energies on decreasing this number by helping our service men and women attain meaningful, well-paying jobs. Supporting those who dedicated their lives to defend our freedoms is a top priority at the General Assembly.
The Senate Committee on Homeland Security, Transportation and Veterans Affairs passed several pieces of legislation last week to help improve veterans' lives.
·Senate Bill 354 : Establishes the Hoosier Women Veterans Program to provide information and services specifically to Indiana's female veterans. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, more than 33,000 women veterans reside in Indiana.
·Senate Bill 352 : Extends the time period of eligibility for qualifying post-9/11 veterans to receive assistance from the Military Family Relief Fund. Last year, seven applicants were denied grants simply because they missed the deadline. These veterans lost out on $24,500 in additional grant money.
·Senate Bill 300 : Offers local government units incentives to hire disabled veterans.
To become law, these important bills must be passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and then signed by Gov. Mike Pence.
Additionally, the Senate passed Senate Bill 135 , which increases the value cap for property tax deduction for qualified veterans. This bill could result in an estimated additional 3,900 deductions for completely disabled veterans. Freeing disabled veterans from taxes could greatly improve their quality of life and lessen the financial burden on them.
Our state is already ranked one of the most economically friendly states in the nation, and this piece of legislation would further improve not only the lives of Hoosier veterans, but also Indiana's fiscal climate.
After risking their lives to serve our nation, we wish to show Hoosier veterans our support and help them readjust to society. These legislative initiatives will provide veterans with needed resources to help them work, lead successful lives and raise families in our state.

The great thing about this comic is that provides endless mad libs material. For example, teplace "God" with "science" and "the plague" with "nuclear weapons" and it still works.

Doesn't quite work. Science doesn't create things, people use science to create things.

FWIW, people refer metaphorically to "science" as if it were an agent all the time without confusion. "Science teaches us X", and so on.
But fair enough. Replace "science" with "scientists".

There is a significant difference in tone from the original, whether you use "science" or "scientists" (or, for that matter, you could use "people"). This is simply that god is supposed to be the beneficient creator of all, something that nobody claims for science (or scientists – or people).

And that would be fair, too. I don't remember ever hearing of scientists being saints or anything to that extent.

If you believe Martin Luther, saints aren't exactly saints either.
Anything worth doing contains antinomy. The challenge is to use it wisely.
- Edmond
Try it this way… Replace "science" with "study", because that's what science is, the study of the natural world.
Now it says, "Study teaches us X", which is exactly what studying SHOULD do. It causes us to learn things about the world.
NOW you can say that LEARNED PEOPLE brought us nuclear weapons, and this is FAR more accurate than blaming it on "science". Science is a learning process. Blame PEOPLE for what is done WITH the knowledge.
Just be sure you are blaming the RIGHT people. It would still not be correct to say that ALL scientists brought us nuclear weapons, any more than we could say that ALL PEOPLE did it. Certainly, some scientists OPPOSED the development of nuclear weapons. And scientists weren't the only ones involved in their development. You can also blame some industrialists, some politicians, some military leaders, etc…
"Knowledge" is a complex and vast structure, open to many people, and able to be used in many different ways; some good, some bad. That is simply NOT the same situation as having ONE god who originates EVERYTHING. If that god exists, he IS directly culpable for his creations. Neither "science" nor "scientists" as a bloc are responsible for everything that springs from human knowledge.

But The Plague was great. It's where I got my username from.

MC phono cable questions (Long)
There are threads similar to this, but this newbie couldn't find any that gave the answers I seek. Also, this is all about cable resistance. Capacitance and inductance may make a difference as well, as everything does. But the resistance is said to be the deciding factor for low-output MCs. Also, capacitance and inductance I can play around with should I decide to make my own cable, whereas the resistance is constant. At least as far as this non-engineer understands it.
Anyway, I'm putting together this Garrard 301. Though I'll use a Denon DL-103, I'm asking about low-output MC cartridges in general (not that there's any difference whatsoever). I'm considering the (ready-made or not) Van Den Hull D-501 Hybrid (possibly silver) cable. Should I decide to buy the D-501 I would be over with it. I wouldn't need to ask. But I ask you guys because I want to learn. Not just for now, but for future references.
I also consider other alternatives. One alternative is the HMS Duetto MK-3. I like it because of its solid core leads. It's also attractively priced compared to the silver D-501. Another alternative is to buy silver (or gold alloy) wire and make my own cables. I found a cheapo microphone cable at Elfa that also looks interesting. As well as a pair of cheap Nagaoka phono cables, about 35 for a 1.5 m pair.
The problem with the HMS Duetto MK-3, the silver wire and the microphone cable is that I don't know about their resistance. (The D-501s have a resistance of 11.9 Ohm/100 m and the Nagaoka has 4 Ohm/100 m.) Now, I consider those other alternatives because I think they should have low enough resistance. The HMS looks to be at least 24 AWG. And the microphone cable is .3 sqmm, or about 22-23 AWG. I can choose whatever AWG I want for the silver wire, though I'm thinking 24 AWG or less. I don't think any of them should have a resistance exceeding the D-501. At least not by much. Of course, that's all assumptions on my part.
But my problem isn't the Ohms per se. The problem is that these figures don't say me anything. For example, Van Den Hul's tonearm wire MSS-7 has a resistance of 1.31 Ohm/m. The MCS-150 M has .907 Ohm/m. And the MCS-300 has a resistance of .225 Ohm/m. In other words, there's a huge difference between the MSC-300 and the two others if you only look at the figures. But nowhere do I learn what value is "sufficient."
So my questions are, is there any rule of thumb for wire size contra resistance? How low should I go? Would the HMS Duetto MK-3, the silver wire and the microphone cable do, if at all possible to answer?
Sorry for the length.

The most significant sound improvement i've had recently was due to using a single piece of cable between cart clips and step-up transformer. It is cheap Discovery multistrand copper in teflon.
I really don't understand the preoccupation with resistance. Contact resistance seems to be more important at such short lengths.
The cables you mention sound so different anyway that advice based on resistance alone will be quite useless.

I'm actually waiting for a SME compatible plug for my model 10 arm, I want to get rid of my D501 as soon as possible.
I used to have a Origin live arm with solid cored silver wired DIY phon cable. Much better IMO and very simple to make.

Thanks for your answers. Reading my own post I now realise it was TOO much. But my worries have to do with the fact that I always used a MM Goldring and, I guess, the stuff I have been reading about MC cartridges. Before posting my questions, I did a search here and found one guy saying 2-3 feet is too long for MCs. Now, I don't believe that at all. (Unless you use a really high resistance wire, like cotton.) But it still made me take note. In this case that low resistance is important. I just don't know how important. I also have to confess that this DIY, which is new to me, has made me something of a control freak. I want to know why I do things. And then there's the fact that I don't want to have to upgrade my stuff very often.
I don't know why the D-501 is bad. But I, too, am a solid core guy, even though I have nothing that backs that up. I guess the alternatives remain.

Hi phn
I've had good results getting rid of all the connectors,
( exept the cartridge clips) and by putting the step-up right at the
pick-up arm. The arm-leads are soldered straight into the transformer.

My single piece Discovery cable is about 3 feet long. Ideally it should be much shorter but for the time being i need it long. Plays great with Ortofon Kontra b, MC10 Supreme and MC20.

True. Connectors are junk. People buy expensive WBT spades when it would be so much better to just hooking up the bare wire to the binding posts. Of course, it doesn't look as nice. And I'm one of those people.
analog_sa, I think we're in a similar type of situation. I'm working on this Garrard 301 and you could say I'm in the middle of an upgrade. I want to build an amp and a MC stage. But right now I'm stuck with my Arcam Delta 290 and the built-in MC stage. It's far from ideal since I need that one meter cable. So for now resistance seems to be the key. But being that I still have to get a plinth, I still have time to scout around.

Assoli & Taylor Sands – Happy Day
Released: April 6, 2016
Assoli and Taylor Sands are bouncing on a trampoline, enjoying a "Happy Day" of sunshine and energetic fun. Moving indoors, their good mood spills over into some tender kissing, the girls undressing each other between loving caresses. Assoli's hand slides between Taylor's thighs, and she fingers her girlfriend's pretty pussy skilfully; Taylor turns around to get stroked from behind, coming hard when Assoli licks her clit. Now Assoli lies back and Taylor rubs her until she's rocking her hips with arousal, then goes down to eat her. Assoli rides Taylor's fingers and then sits on her face, Taylor diddling herself so they share a delicious simultaneous orgasm. It's the pinnacle of a very "Happy Day."

In 1975, Lynyrd Skynyrd released what would go on to become one of their biggest hits, called "Saturday Night Special." The song was released as the opening track off of the band's Platinum-certified album, Nuthin' Fancy, and peaked at the 27th spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Written by Ed King and Ronnie Van Zant, the song addresses the issues surrounding gun control. The term "Saturday Night Special" is in reference to inexpensive, poor quality handguns, such as a mouse gun or pocket pistol.
The lyrics mention several scenarios involving random acts of violence, such as when a man shoots his friend during a poker game when he thinks he's been cheating. Through these different scenarios, the lyrics reveal the meaning behind the song, that a Saturday Night Special simply, "Ain't no good for nothin'/But put a man six feet in a hole."
In 1976, the band took the song to the stage at the Knebworth Festivial in England, which was filled with excited Skynyrd fans. In fact, there were so many people there to see Skynyrd perform that when the camera panned to show the crowd, it looked like it stretched for miles. The crowd kept cheering throughout the whole song, particularly when Ronnie finished the first verse, and especially at the end of the performance.
Ronnie himself was at the absolute top of his game, as he belted and growled out the lyrics to the song with an intense level of passion. It's clear that Ronnie and the rest of the band members fed off of the wild energy of the crowd, because they really seemed to be rocking out and giving it their all on stage.
You can watch Skynyrd's electrifying performance of "Saturday Night Special" below. Once you watch it, you'll wish you had been in the crowd to see them perform live that day!
Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd & Second Helping Live' is available now on DVD, Blu-ray and digital formats - it's the perfect gift for the Lynyrd Skynyrd fan in your life. Buy it here on Amazon!

If you've never been to a Contributor Day at a WordCamp, you might be a little nervous to make your first appearance at WordCamp US. The name on its own, Contributor Day, can sound like it's an exclusive club for only those people who have given a lot of time or provide a high level of expertise. I went to my first Contributor Day with very little experience and few expectations for what would happen that day.
What I remember is that it felt like everyone in the room must know everything there was to know about WordPress; otherwise why would they have gone to a Contributor Day?
Here are some pointers for handling the excitement of attending your first Contributor Day:
- Open Source takes all sorts – WordPress is an open source project. It's built, from top to bottom, by the people who offer their time. You don't have to have a grand plan in order to help. All you need to know is what your skills are and find the team that needs your skills.
- Everyone is an expert at something – Don't measure yourself by the skills of the person next to you. Not only does our community need people with lots of different skills, but even experts started out not knowing anything.
- You've just finished up two days of WordPress inspiration – Why not round it out by practicing with people who are just as excited about all of this as you are?
- Find a buddy – Buddies are easy to find in the WordPress community. If you didn't bring a friend with you, introduce yourself to a new friend at the table!
- Vote with your feet – We have a lot of ways to give back to the WordPress project. With as many teams as we have, it can be hard to know which one will fit you best. If the team you started with doesn't fit the skills you know you have, wander on to the next one. But don't discount the awesomeness of learning something new!
As with all WordCamps: Have questions? Just ask! There are helpful volunteers and attendees all around at WordCamp US. If the person you ask doesn't have the answer, then chances are that they can point you in the right direction.
Contributor Day is included in the price of your WordCamp US ticket. It's a chance to meet face-to-face with people you work with online or welcome interested new contributors to teams.

The Saskatchewan government is signalling it won't support BHP Billiton Ltd.'s $38.6-billion (U.S.) bid for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. unless the company offers more benefits to help offset the billions of dollars the province stands to lose.
A Conference Board of Canada takeover review, commissioned by Saskatchewan, said the impact of BHP's bid on tax and royalty revenues could cost the province $2-billion (Canadian) over the next 10 years, and up to $5.7-billion if the Australian miner runs both existing and new mines at full capacity.
That has the Saskatchewan government talking tough about whether to recommend the bid to Ottawa, which is examining the deal and must determine it benefits Canada in order to approve it.
"Two-billion is a lot of money. That alone is enough to give us reason to pause. Six-billion would be, I suspect to a lot of people, hair-raising," Saskatchewan's Energy and Resources Minister Bill Boyd told reporters in Regina on Monday.
"We want to be clear, that the Government of Saskatchewan is very interested in investment into our province. This is a different thing. … It's a takeover, it's not a $40-billion investment in Saskatchewan."
The province's reaction shows it is looking for BHP to up the ante on benefits.
"If BHP is looking at it and saying 'Obviously this may not be the net benefit the province is looking for,' maybe that prompts them to do something," Mr. Boyd said. He wouldn't say what BHP could offer that might lessen the province's concerns.
BHP has promised to maintain jobs in the province and make Saskatchewan home to its global potash headquarters. It has also vowed to make community investments and bring Potash Corp. head office jobs to Saskatchewan from Chicago. That hasn't been enough to win over the province, which has become more vocal about its concerns about the bid leading up to the Nov. 18 deadline.
Saskatchewan spent $75,000 for the conference board review of the economic impact of a takeover of Potash Corp., the world's largest potash producer and one of the province's largest taxpayers. The review will help the province decide whether to support BHP's bid, or any possible counteroffer. While Saskatchewan doesn't have the power to stop a bid, its view will influence Ottawa as it considers whether the takeover has a "net benefit" to Canada under the Investment Canada Act.
On Monday, Industry Minister Tony Clement extended the Investment Canada review of the BHP bid for Potash Corp. by 30 days to Nov. 3, stating, "I will take the time necessary to do a thorough review of this investment proposal."
Saskatchewan officials believe their opinion will weigh heavily on Ottawa's decision. "As far as I know, Saskatchewan is still a part of Canada. Any loss to Saskatchewan should be considered a loss to Canada," Mr. Boyd said. "If there is not a net benefit but a net loss, we would hope and we would expect that the federal government would agree with us."
While the report does outline some opportunities for the province to raise revenues, Mr. Boyd said they are "small" compared with the risk. The conference board report also says the bid will have little or no net effect on employment in the industry, from the province's point of view.
A BHP spokesman said the company is reviewing the report and declined to comment further.
While the province's response to the report was largely critical, some investors saw the report as a plus for BHP's bid.
"We believe that the net impact of the report ... essentially gives the green light to the BHP bid and effectively douses the aspirations of any bid emanating from a sovereign state investment group like Sinochem," said Dahlman Rose & Co. analyst Charles Neivert.Report Typo/Error

This disclosure relates generally to virtual machines, and in particular but not exclusively, relates to monitoring internal operation of virtual machines.
Enterprise software has transformed the way diverse enterprises, large and small a like, transact and manage day-to-day operations. Businesses use enterprise software (e.g., web based application servers) to control production planning, purchasing and logistics, warehouse and inventory management, production, vendor management, customer service, finance, personnel management, and other basic business activities. As the enterprise software industry continues to mature, the various application and hardware resources enlisted to facilitate this diverse set of tasks are being amalgamated into robust, highly integrated solutions (e.g., SAP NetWeaver, SAP xAPPs, mySAP Business Suite, etc.).
To integrate diverse hardware and software resources, developers of enterprise software have leveraged cross platform engines capable of minimizing or even severing platform dependencies from the enterprise solution. The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition™ ("J2EE") (e.g., J2EE Specification, Version 1.4) is a Java based solution supported by the Java Virtual Machine ("JVM") engine. J2EE simplifies application development and decreases the need for programming and programmer training by creating standardized and reusable modular components. The popularity of Java based solutions is evident as the Information Technology ("IT") world has gravitated to the Java language.
As enterprise software is woven into the fabric of modern business, failure of an enterprise solution may no longer be a mere nuisance, but has the potential to wreak catastrophic havoc on a business. As such, robust, reliable software is evermore critical. The enterprise software industry is marching toward the ultimate goal of self-healing software capable of sustainable, uninterrupted operation, without human intervention. In pursuit of this goal, IT technicians can benefit from convenient tools capable of monitoring the health of their enterprise software. With appropriate monitoring tools, IT technicians can take appropriate action in a timely manner to ensure a healthful state of their software or to spot delinquent applications and prevent repeat offenders. Currently, JVMs do not provide adequate mechanisms to monitor their internal operation on a real-time basis.
A system and method of monitoring internal operation of a virtual machine ("VM") is described. The VM is operated to interpret and execute a program. During operation of the VM, status information regarding internal operation of the VM is stored to an internal memory buffer. The status information is subsequently extracted from the internal memory buffer during operation of the VM to monitor internal operation of the VM from an external vantage point of the VM. In one embodiment, the VM is a Java VM.
In one embodiment, the status information is accumulated by executing monitoring code embedded within the program. Execution of the monitoring code can be interleaved with execution of program code of the program.
During execution of the program, objects are created and stored to a heap. When the objects are no longer referenced by the program, an automatic garbage collector erases the unreferenced objects. In one embodiment, the status information includes garbage collecting activity information.
In one embodiment, a native VM monitor is invoked to retrieve the status information from within the internal memory buffer. The retrieved status information may then be communicated to a monitoring console for display on the monitoring console.
In one embodiment, a VM monitoring program is interpreted and executed on the VM. The VM monitoring program is dedicated to gathering at least a portion of the status information from components of the VM and store the portion of the status information to the internal memory buffer.
In one embodiment, the internal memory buffer is insulated from failure of the VM. If the VM should fail, the internal memory buffer may be accessed after the failure to conduct a postmortem investigation of why the VM failed.
Embodiments of the invention may include all or some of the above described features. The above features can be implemented using a computer program, a method, a system or apparatus, or any combination of computer programs, methods, or systems. These and other details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the accompanying drawings and in the description below.
Non-limiting and non-exhaustive embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the following figures, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various views unless otherwise specified.
Embodiments of a system and method for monitoring internal operation of a virtual machine ("VM") are described herein.
VM 105 interprets and executes one or more programs 110 to generate output results 120. VM 105 interprets programs 110 by converting them from an intermediate interpreted language (e.g., bytecode) into a native machine language, which is then executed. In one embodiment, VM 105 is a Java VM ("JVM") while programs 110 represent Java programs compiled into Java bytecode. Although embodiments of the invention are described in connection with the object oriented Java programming language, the techniques described herein are equally applicable to other interpreted languages and VMs used to interpret and execute these languages.
During operation of VM 105, VM 105 can provide real-time status information 125 to monitoring console 115 for display thereon. Status information 125 may provide detailed operational information of the internal workings of VM 105 during interpreting and executing programs 110. An Information Technology ("IT") technician can simply scan status information 125 displayed on monitoring console 115 to determine whether VM 105 is operating in a healthful state, whether a failure is imminent, or otherwise. Furthermore, status information 125 may be accessed after VM 105 has failed/crashed to conduct a postmortem investigation as to the cause of the failure.
Status information 125 may be "pulled" to monitoring console 115 in response to status queries 130 issued by monitoring console 115 or status information 125 may be "pushed" to monitoring console 115. Pushing status information 125 to monitoring console 115 may be event triggered or periodically triggered. Monitoring console 115 may be located locally on the same hardware machine executing VM 105, or advantageously, executed on a remote machine communicatively couple thereto. Status information 125 may include a variety of data including, but not limited to, garbage collecting activity, heap status, execution activity, thread activity, program activity, and the like.
Native wrapper 210 provides the runtime environment for VM 105. In an embodiment where VM 105 is a JVM complaint with the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition™ ("J2EE") (e.g., J2EE Specification, Version 1.4), native wrapper 210 is often referred to as "JLaunch." Native wrapper 210 is native machine code (e.g., compiled C++) executed and managed by OS 205. Once launched, native wrapper 210 establishes VM 105 within itself.
During operation, the illustrated embodiment of VM 105 includes an internal memory buffer 220, an internal application programming interface ("API") 225, a native API 230, a heap 235, a heap manager 237, a garbage collector 240, an input/output ("I/O") system 243, and multiple threads 245 to maintain information associated with a variety of tasks (e.g., programs 110, garbage collector 240, etc.) currently being executed by VM 105. Threads 245 have not been illustrated for all executable entities in
Heap 235 is established by VM 105 as a pre-reserved memory pool for future use by programs 110 and a VM monitoring program 250 (discussed in detail below) as they are loaded. Heap 235 is managed by heap manager 237 of VM 105 for allocating and deallocating memory as is required by programs 110 and for storing objects 255, created by programs 110 (or VM monitoring program 250).
In an embodiment where programs 110 are object-oriented programs (e.g., Java programs), they generally include objects and classes. When programs 110 are loaded and executed by VM 105, objects 255 are created and then stored to heap 235. Classes include methods that perform tasks and return information when they complete those tasks. Objects are essentially reusable software components that model pieces of software programs in terms of properties and behaviors. Classes are used to instantiate an object with these properties and behaviors. In other words, each of objects 255 inherit their properties and behaviors from a class used to instantiate (e.g., create) the particular object 255.
As programs 110 consume heap 235 by filling it with objects 255, memory within heap 235 available to accept new objects may become scarce. Accordingly, garbage collector 240 implements a disciplined procedure for returning consumed memory back to heap 235. In one embodiment, garbage collector 240 is automatically executed by VM 105 to reclaim dynamically allocated memory without explicit instructions to do so by the programmer of programs 110. When there are no more references to one of objects 255 within heap 235, the particular object 255 is marked for garbage collection. The memory consumed by the marked object 255 is then reclaimed when garbage collector 240 executes. Performing regular garbage collection when available memory within heap 235 becomes scarce helps avoid resource leaks.
However, when available memory within heap 235 becomes scarce, performance of VM 105 suffers due to the garbage collecting activity. For example, if heap 235 exceeds 80% capacity, garbage collecting activities of garbage collector 240 may result in the productive computing output (e.g., output results 120, see
In one embodiment, various entities of VM 105 are "instrumented" with monitoring code to accumulate/generate at least a portion of status information 125 and copy the portion of status information 125 into internal memory buffer 220. Execution of the monitoring code may be interleaved with execution of the regular program code of the entities. The portion of status information 125 which is accumulated/generated by the monitoring code may include processing start and stop times of each entity, processing runtime of each thread 245 executing the entity, a number of objects 255 created by the particular entity, an amount of memory consumed by the entity, and the like. Each entity can be instrumented to accumulate and/or generate a variety of status information 125 relating the operation and execution of the particular entity. These entities may include garbage collector 240, heap manager 237, I/O system 243, and the like. The monitoring code instrumented into each of these entities has the purpose to collect at least a portion of the vast amount of status information available within VM 105 and report it into internal memory buffer 220.
In one embodiment, garbage collector 240 is instrumented with monitoring code 265 to accumulate/generate at least a portion of status information 125 and copy the portion of status information 125 into internal memory buffer 220. Execution of monitoring code 265 may be interleaved with execution of the regular garbage collecting activities of garbage collector 240. In one embodiment, monitoring code 265 is executed in response to a garbage collecting event. The portion of status information 125 which is accumulated/generated by monitoring code 265 includes a variety of garbage collecting related information. This garbage collecting related information may include: time stamps and runtimes of garbage collecting events executed by garbage collector 240, a count of garbage collecting events, a count of the number of objects 255 collected from heap 235 during each garbage collecting event, an amount of memory reclaimed within heap 235 during each garbage collecting event, an amount of memory available within heap 235, hits rates of objects 255 within heap 235 by requesters (e.g., programs 110), heap 235 utilization, and the like. Furthermore, monitoring code 265 may maintain a history of recent garbage collecting events within internal memory buffer 220 and index each garbage collecting event to some or all of the above garbage collecting related information.
In one embodiment, VM monitoring program 250 may be interpreted and executed on VM 105 for the primary purpose of gathering status information 125 and copying status information 125 into internal memory buffer 220. VM monitoring program 250 may be provided solely to perform monitoring duties. VM monitoring program 250 may collect/generate any or all of the above status information 125 described above, as well as other monitoring information. Writing an independent program dedicated for monitoring tasks, enables monitoring programs to be written well after programs 110 and garbage collector 240 have been designed without need to update programs 110 and garbage collector 240. VM monitoring program 250 enables developers to generate dedicate monitoring programs to investigate problems or "bugs" within VM 105 or programs 110, which do not become apparent until after VM 105 and/or programs 110 have been written and released to the public. In fact, many software problems do not become apparent until a software build has been released to a large user base. As such, VM monitoring program 250 may be designed to aid with alpha testing of programs 110 and/or VM 105 or even included in a beta release of programs 110 and/or VM 105. VM monitoring program 250 provides an effective mechanism for implementing later developed monitoring code for execution on VM 105.
The monitoring code, including monitoring code 265, and VM monitor program 250 access internal memory buffer 220 to copy status information 125 thereto via internal API 225. In one embodiment, internal API 225 abstracts access to internal memory buffer 220 through use of function calls. Each component of VM 105 that wishes to copy status information 125 into internal memory buffer 220 makes a "call" to one or more functions published internally to VM 105 by internal API 225 and passes the accumulated/generated status information 125 to the called function. In turn, the called function copies status information 125 to an appropriate slot or location within internal memory buffer 220.
Native VM monitor 215 acts as a proxy for a variety of external entities (e.g., monitoring console 115) requesting access to internal memory buffer 220 to monitor the internal operation of VM 105. In one embodiment, native VM monitor 215 may receive status requests 130 and serve up status information 125, or portions thereof, in response. Alternatively, or in addition, native VM monitor 215 may negotiate a reporting contract with monitoring console 115 to serve up status information 125 on a regular or periodic basis, without need of status requests 130. As such, native VM monitor 215 may be capable of both pushing status information 125 to monitoring console 115, as well as, monitoring console 115 pulling status information 125 from native VM monitor 215.
Abstracting access to internal memory buffer 220 with internal API 225 insulates and protects the contents of internal memory buffer 220 from the rest of VM 105. Should VM 105 crash, enter an infinite loop, or otherwise fail, status information 220 may still be protected and preserved from corruption. Since native API 230 is executed using native code, native API 230 is not interpreted and executed by VM 105. Accordingly, if VM 105 fails, native VM monitor 215 can still access internal memory buffer 220 to obtain the latest status information 125 updated just prior to VM 105 failing. As such, the contents of internal memory buffer 220 may be retrieved to conduct a postmortem investigate to determine the cause of VM 105's failure.
During execution of programs 110, the monitoring code updates internal memory buffer 220 with status information 125 pertaining to the operation of a particular program 110, consumption of resources by the particular program 110, and other internal workings of VM 105 (process block 310). The monitoring code may be executed in an interleaving manner with program code of the various sub-entites within VM 105, as discussed above. In one embodiment, the monitoring code accesses internal memory buffer 220 via function calls to internal API 225 and passing the collected/generated status information 125 to the called function.
As programs 110 execute, objects 255 are created and stored to heap 235 (process block 315). As long as heap 235 has available memory to store new objects 255, then programs 110 will continue to execute and create new objects 255 as needed. However, should heap 235 approach capacity and available memory within heap 235 to accept new objects 255 become scarce (decision block 320), then process 300 continues to a process block 325.
In process block 325, garbage collector 240 performs automatic garbage collection to delete unreferenced objects 255 and reclaim the consumed memory within heap 235. In response to the garbage collecting event, monitoring code 265 updates internal memory buffer 220 with status information 125 containing garbage collecting information (process block 330), as described above. In one embodiment, monitoring code 265 accesses internal memory buffer 220 via function calls to internal API 225.
In a process block 335, native VM monitor 215 extracts some or all of status information 125 from internal memory buffer 220 via native API 230. In one embodiment, native VM monitor 215 accesses internal memory buffer 220 via function calls to native API 230. In a process block 340, the retrieved status information 125 is transmitted to monitoring console 115. As discussed above, status information 125 may be pushed to monitoring console 115 or pulled from native VM monitor 215 by sending status requests 130. Monitoring console 115 may execute on the same hardware executing VM 115 or execute on remote hardware communicatively coupled to native VM monitor 215 via a network or other communication medium.
AS instances 417 may be web application servers, such as Web AS by SAP, .NET by Microsoft, or the like. Each AS instance 417 may include one or more VMs 105 to execute programs 110. Programs 110 executed by VMs 105 within AS instances 417 may collectively provide the logic for implementing various sub-layers (e.g., business layer, integration layer, presentation layer, etc.) of AS instances 417. It should be appreciated that various components of AS instances 417 have been excluded from
Web dispatcher 430 implements a load-balancing mechanism distributing service requests from client nodes 410 among server nodes 415 within cluster 405. For example, web dispatcher 430 may implement a round-robin load-balancing mechanism or the like. Web dispatcher 430 may be one of server nodes 415 having the task of dispatching service requests among server nodes 415 of cluster 405 or a stand alone hardware node. The service requests are processed by server nodes 415 and subsequently provided to database node 425. Database node 425 offers up the requested data to server nodes 415, which in turn process and format the results for display on client nodes 410. Each AS instance 417 may further include its own dispatcher mechanism to distribute the service requests assigned to it among its individual VMs 105.
In embodiments where VMs 105 are JVMs, programs 110 may be servlets providing server-side logic to generate graphical user interfaces ("GUIs") on clients nodes 410 and may further include JavaServer Page ("JSP") extensions for providing dynamic content within the GUI. Programs 110 may further include business applications providing the business logic of an Enterprise JavaBean ("EJB"), applets providing client side logic, and the like.
One of client nodes 410 may execute monitoring console 115 to provide remote monitoring of AS instances 417, and in particular, remote monitoring of each VM 105. If an IT technician notices that one of the VMs 105 has a low heap utilization, overactive garbage collection activity, or the like, the IT technician can take appropriate action including resetting the problematic VM 105.
The elements of processing system 500 are interconnected as follows. Processor(s) 505 is communicatively coupled to system memory 510, NV memory 515, DSU 520, and communication link 525, via chipset 530 to send and to receive instructions or data thereto/therefrom.

WASHINGTON – President George W. Bush said Friday that rebuilding the Gulf Coast would "cost whatever it costs," that he would not raise taxes to pay for the recovery and that at least some of the cost would have to be offset by budget cuts in other programs.
His call for some sacrifices in the federal budget came just a day after he addressed the nation in prime time from New Orleans, where he promised to rebuild New Orleans and the surrounding Gulf Coast region damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
The White House on Friday also offered a few more details about the president's proposals to provide incentives for rebuilding and to assist displaced residents with homesteading land and money for job retraining. The "Gulf Opportunity Zone" he outlined Thursday would offer special tax breaks to businesses and would cost about $2 billion; school vouchers, worth up to about $7,000 for displaced students, could be used for private as well as public schools.
Administration officials are also considering a suspension of the steep import tariffs now imposed on cement from Mexico, lumber from Canada and numerous forms of steel.
Again Friday, Bush put no price tag on the rebuilding, although others have said the federal government would quickly run through the $62.3billion already approved in relief aid by Congress and could wind up spending as much as $200 billion.
At a news conference in the East Room with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, Bush offered no suggestions about what kind of cuts might be made or whether he would revisit the $24 billion in pet projects for members of Congress that were in the $286.4billion transportation bill he recently signed into law.
But he explicitly ruled out tax increases to pay for the reconstruction and relief costs. He has continued to press for a permanent extension of his tax cuts, which would cost $1.4trillion over 10 years.
Bush defended the additional tax breaks that he is recommending for businesses in the Gulf region, saying they would not be expensive. "Look, there's not going to be any revenues coming out of that area for a while anyway, so we might as well give them good tax relief in order to get jobs there and investment there," he said.
The escalating bills for the damage wrought by Katrina have begun worrying representatives in Congress, with a growing number of Republicans distancing themselves from what they viewed as unchecked spending by the White House.
Congress was poised to make $35 billion in spending cuts over the next five years, including in the Medicaid program that provides health care for the poor.
Budget analysts on Capitol Hill were bracing for rising deficits as a result of financial burdens ranging from the war in Iraq to the Medicare prescription drug benefit program.
On Friday, congressional deficit hawks said they were pleased at the president's new stance on trying to compensate fiscally for the burgeoning cost of the storm recovery, though they would have preferred he had included a call for cuts in his New Orleans speech.
"I think there are plenty of places to go to work, starting with congressional earmarks," said Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, referring to pet projects lawmakers place in bills like the transportation measure, which included a now-infamous $250 million bridge in Alaska to a small island that has 50 residents.
Brian Riedl, a longtime budget analyst at the Heritage Foundation, a research group, said Bush needed to lead the efforts for budget cuts.
"Thus far, President Bush has not vetoed a single bill and has allowed Congress to spend too much money," he said.
Riedl published a new budget forecast that anticipates soaring deficits as a result of Katrina, the war in Iraq and huge costs for the Medicare prescription drug program. All in all, Riedl said, the budget deficit is likely to hit $520 billion in 2008, up from about $400 billion this year.
Democrats were quick to criticize the president's renewed fight to extend his tax cuts, which Congress has postponed consideration of for at least the next months.
Rep. John Spratt of South Carolina, the ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee, pointed out the long-term effects of those extensions.
"The president should acknowledge the consequences of what he's talking about," Spratt said, adding that the combined cost of Bush's tax proposals – including a possible repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax – could hit $2trillion over 10 years. "This will clearly preclude cutting the deficit in half over the next five years."

Chevrolet Volts Available for $159 a Month Lease… Kinda
The Chevrolet Volt may be enjoying improved sales over the last few months, but the American automaker is still not satisfied with the results. In hopes of getting more Volt drivers on the road, some dealerships are offering a lease special thanks to dealer incentives.
According to a recent report by Forbes there are people out there who are enjoying driving a Chevy Volt for just $159 a month on a lease, but there is a catch… or two. The actual lease special by GM is $279 a month with $2,419 due at signing on a two-year, 24,000-mile lease.
So how is it possible that some owners snagged a Volt for $159 a month with no money down? We're glad you asked.
Well one particular buyer was able to take advantage of $3,000 in rewards from a GM credit card that applied towards the lease of the Volt. In addition, GM is offering dealers bonus cash if they exceed their initial Volt sales goals. As we know, some dealerships are nice enough to pass those incentives onto their buyers. So with an extra $1,000 bonus cash passed from the dealer to the buyer and a trade-in, this particular Volt owner is winning out paying just $159 a month.
Of course the story reported by Forbes is a bit misleading, but with some clever haggling, there's a good chance that you too could score a Volt for an affordable monthly payment – probably less than what you'd save in gas each month by driving now.

Best pump for using at same time as breast feeding?(17 Posts)
I do this with my Philips avent pump. I bought a single pump and express from one side while feeding in the morning. I only express once a day and give that milk in a bottle in the evening. Therefore my supply/demand is consistent. There's no neck cord on it - you need to hold it in place to maintain the suction - but I support her with one hand and hold the pump in the other.
Sorry, bit late checking back.
Re neck strap, yes, mine came with it. But I think it was intended for holding the pump unit rather than funnel! I changed to a different size of funnel (several sizes available direct from Medela) and that one had a hole that looked like it might be intended for the purpose... May not have been, but works great.
It's not exactly quiet, but certainly not intrusive and none of my three have been dusturbed by it humming down their ears. I think the noise level was pretty similar to the lactaline I briefly tried in hospital but significantly quieter than a Phillips one I tested via MN... Don't buy one of those, it broke!
Tis under "Topics" then "feed the world"
Ahhh thank you - I can't seem to find the breast/bottle feeding section via the App??? How would I get mumsnet to move this post over there?
PS it may well be worth posting this in the breast/bottle feeding section - if she still posts tiktok is the font of all knowledge!
I waited til after 6 weeks before introducing bottles of expressed (to help get right supply and demand established, and to try avoid baby deciding to opt for "easier" bottle option in preference to breast - use low flow teats to help try avoid this)
Anyway I just used cradle hold on one side and held the pump against me on the other.
Remember the amount you can express is not a direct indication of the amount your baby is getting - babies are much more efficient than a machine, and your body is geared up towards feeding a baby.
Pilchards - I think that was what I was getting at...recommendations for hands free electric pumps that might work and which won't terrify baby with noise.
Interesting about the Medela Swing - does it come with a neck strap for hands free as standard? & is it v loud?
Can't remember who asked but yes I've bf before. Didn't like it at all but forced my way through (don't get me started, personal reasons not to do with pain or latching issues etc!) so the compromise this time is I'll express whilst feeding to allow DH to feed when I simply can't bare to & to slowly wean baby across to bottles only after I've done as many months as I can cope with!!!
I think it might be a bit tricky to feed and pump at the same time during the early days as until the baby gets a bit stronger you will need to support him. You can buy hands free pumps though that come with a bra type holder thing so you don't need to hold Them but I've never seem one in real life!
Can't recommend one, but agree with Woodifer about getting a good one. I had a Medela Swing (about £90) and it was "ok but not great": I would have liked something faster.
(I never fed and pumped at the same time. I expressed from 4 weeks old. I usually only pumped once a day 4am feed and then, when that was dropped at 12 weeks, the first feed of the day at 6/7am. DH would feed DS a bottle of expressed as I pumped: this was a quicker way to do that first feed - especially the night feed, much quicker for DH to ed and resettle as I pumped. I would pump more than one feed - so built up a reserve for that occasional afternoon cinema/shopping trip without baby )
Am currently doing IVF trying to conceive DC2. If we were lucky enough to conceive, I would look at a professional grade pump or possibly, at least to begin with, would look at hiring a hospital grade pump from the NCT or similar).
Is your baby born yet? Have you breastfed before? If not, I would definitely look at hiring before investing much in a pump. Breastfeeding is an uphill struggle for many (I was very lucky!) and doesn't work out for everyone: so you want to be sure before investing too much.
Unless you're pumping every time you feed, you'll not be "feeding twins". Supply and demand and all that
Ime while feeding is a great time to pump - efficient!
I like the medella swing - not much to get in the way of baby since the pump unit is physically separate. I use the neck cord and tuck funnel or bottle in my top and pump hands-free. Swing is almost 5 years old and still going strong... Pricey, but worth it.
Thanks woodifer - how did you find the medela practically to use whilst baby was feeding? I'm trying to envision something electric I could just strap on one side and let get on with it whilst baby was on the other...but I'm not sure if it works like that???
Hi Boys! Sorry phantom I think thats bobbins!
I expressed from one side while feeding from the other as the let down reflex comes much easier when doing this. (It's also easier to express in the morning).
If you express (or feed) a lot at a particular time of day over a few days - you will start to produce more milk at that time. The more milk you take out in general - or try to (by feeding/expressing) the more you produce. When a baby has a growth spurt and needs more milk - they suck a bit more and after a day or so your supply increases.
Kellymom is a really good website about breastfeeding. "The food of love" is a really good book about breastfeeding (there's also a good la leche book friends recommend).
I had been given a medela mini electric - it's not the most amazing but did the job (and could also work on AA batteries when camping/ out and about). I'm 32 weeks with no. 2, This time around i'm considering buying a better electric one (while wishing I had last time to get 2 babies worth of value out of it IYSWIM).
Lol I hadnt even thought about that!! Would be interested to hear what others think about it too (as well as some pump recommendations!)
That's what I was told when I had DS1, I used to feed him and then express from the other boob straight after. HV told me to stop and gave me that reason
Would it really do that???? I guess it'd be better than not having enough supply lol
I wouldn't do that personally. Your body will think you're feeding twins and consequently produce enough milk to meet that demand.
I'm no expert tho
Sorry if this is in the wrong place...I can't work out which group breast feeding posts should be on
If I were to feed the baby on one side and express on the other (I've got reasons for doing this), which would be the best pump to use?
Thanks for your advice

I need a bouncer and this is different! Sure, it's weird looking but hey, it's a conversation starter!
My daughter LOVED this when she was little. Only downfall is it is a little tall... but she loved to bounce and play with the toys. The toys are a nice variety and make animal noises.

Family First to fight drainage levy
Family First MLC Robert Brokenshire says no landholder in south-east South Australia should have to pay a drainage levy.
Mr Brokenshire says Family First will fight the proposed levy, included in the State Government's South-East Drainage System Operation and Management Bill.
He says the levy will bring in more than $16 million to the state's coffers over three years.
Mr Brokenshire says landholders should not have to bear the cost of maintenance of the system, it should be the responsibility of the Government.
"This is for the public good, it's for the environmental good and yes it does assist with agricultural production but the State Government needs to provide services and funding for all parts of the state, not just the Adelaide Oval, not just their pet projects and we're saying it's time the south-east had a fair go," he said.
The executive officer of the South-East Local Government Association (SELGA) says he welcomes Family First's opposition to the bill.
SELGA has written to a number of politicians trying to gain support in opposing drainage levies for lower south-east farmers.
Rob Forgan says it is counterproductive for the State Government to impose such a levy.
"If the Government on one hand is actually saying to develop and maintain a sustainable industry base that will grow this region's contribution and meet the South Australian food industry target of 20 billion by 2020 when farmers are getting hit with new levies that actually affect their viability and this is in addition to the other costs that farmers have to bear," he said.

The objectives of this study are three fold: bring together all the taxonomic information available on Indian Gymnophiona by studying the preserved materials that lie scattered in various institutions in India; attempt fresh collections to supplement the rather meagre material that is presently available; describe and illustrate existing species, erect new taxa if necessary, document their distribution, and present a treatise on the Indian Gymnophiona at the alpha-taxonomy level. It is hoped that Gymnophiona (Amphibia) of India shall serve to inspire further research on this ancient and unique group of apodous amphibians. A chapter on "Morphology and Terminology", outlining the external morphological characters which have a bearing on their taxonomy is included here to assist such work.

Do you think as a best friendand respect for the relationship your best male friend is getting, you shouldn't be that close (just friends only) anymore?
