How to Improve Performance of Java App?
Interested in how to improve the performance of a Java app?
This is exactly what we will answer in this artilcle.
Besides the huge profits to be made, innovating in this industry is a great way to improve people's lives. Here're a few amazing case studies of companies who hired DevTeam.Space to build their software products:
- South Florals – Floral eCommerce Web Application
- ModuleTrade – Healthcare Android and iOS App
- MyTime – Scheduling And Payment Web Application
Whether you are a project manager at cyber-security startup or a CTO at an established fintech company, you'll probably come across Java application development at some point. You may be an experienced developer or a CEO with no Java experience. Either way, your top priority is the best possible user experience. An optimized product is one of the best ways to improve security, speed, and overall performance of your application, platform, or however you might use Java.
Java can be a tricky language to learn, but over 10 million developers use it to build applications and solve real-world problems every day. From Fortune 500 companies to Android users, everyday life for billions of people involves Java in one way or another. It remains one of the most sought after development skills in the job market, and Oracle has big plans for Java application performance with JDK 10 and the upcoming Java 11 LTS.
According to Tiobe, Java is still the most popular programming language in the world with the highest usage rating of all languages surveyed. GitHib's 2017 Octoverse reported over 986,000 Java pull requests, placing Java third only to JavaScript and Python in the GitHub popularity contest. Using Java efficiently is an important skill for developers, and optimization is a key part of any application development process. To help you along the way, DevTeamSpace has a black belt in Java application performance tuning! Follow our handy guide below for tips on optimization and the Java environment, and you will produce lean, mean strategies for improving Java application performance.
Optimization is an endless quest for performance, and it's no easy task. Countless small improvements can add "money-for-nothing" to the overall performance, but it's up to you to find them. For Java developers and anyone working in Java, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of tweaks, tips, and tricks to improve Java performance. Some of the tips I collected related to application development in general, but most of them are specific to Java application performance tuning in particular. The list below offers simple strategies to improve Java application performance using some reliable old Java tricks along with some new ones.
One of the key things I've learned about optimizing for peak java application performance is the fact that 90 percent of the problem is only 10 percent of the code. For most applications, there is a strong Pareto distribution of task resource consumption. "The 80/20 Rule" is a useful guide, but I figure it is closer to 90/10 or 95/5. A small portion of your overall application tasks will consume the lion's share of the resources for your web app or whatever you want to optimize.

Java Application Performance Tuning Tips
Biggest Bottleneck First
Once you have a test suite and a profiler set up, you'll have a bunch of issues to review. My "95/5 Rule" applies here – start with the most pertinent problems and focus on significant performance issues. Think about the Big Picture here. It's easy to get bogged down when you are trying to improve Java application performance. Start at the front and work your way to the back. Most performance issues relate to one or two major issues. Bear in mind that the vast majority of your code won't significantly improve Java performance with optimization. Focus on the common tasks that occur frequently!
Performance Test Suite
Tweaking Java or anything else is all about small changes over time. Without good reference points, it's impossible to accurately compare A vs. B. A performance test suite is a great tool to test your Java application to give you the before-and-after along with side effects and functional problems down the road. The performance test suite is especially important when working on multi-functional components such as caches, databases, and the like. It's easy to do damage in the chase for better J2EE application performance optimization. Before you spend unnecessary hours in front of your monitor, make sure you use a performance test suite to help make good decisions.
Profiler vs. Bad Guesses
Once you decide that you want to attempt Java application performance tuning, the first move should be finding a profiler to use. When I first started to optimize Java application performance, I would look at my code and make a guess as to where the problems might be. I was usually wrong – my first guess often led me astray. Once I started to use a profiler, my life became a lot easier. Profilers can help you analyze your code to help you better understand the impact of changes and identify performance problems at the source. I'm typically a bit surprised when I read the profiler reports, and it's easy to overlook performance issues without the detailed performance and behavior information from the profiler.
Recursion is Bad
Some modern functional languages want developers to use recursive code to help optimize tail-recursing into iterative code, but it's generally a bad practice. It's better not to rely on this method for Java application performance tuning. The problem arises when a slight change in the algorithm kills a tail-recursive branch. A good compiler ought to detect this kind of thing, but it's not a guarantee. The danger here is spending stack frames unnecessarily. Local variables can help avoid recursion problems, and it makes for better code as a general rule to improve Java performance.
Control Your Concurrency
Running several programs at the same time is often a performance drag. Concurrency across threads creates the opportunity for parallel processing, but it takes a keen understanding of Amdahl's law and the relational database management system to achieve the best Java application performance. For example, multi-request web flows are best served by optimistic-locking using detached entities. Using the data access framework properly will improve data-access layer performance, and this strategy can lead to optimization gains for the overall application.

BigInteger and BigDecimal – Just Say No
There is always a trade-off between precision and speed for any activity – just ask any anyone who plays "pinfinger." Developing in Java is no different, and mathematical algorithms are a common source of performance drag. The right data type can make all the difference here. BigDecimal is very popular for its precision, but it requires a ton of memory when compared to something simple like double or long. I'm not too proud to admit that this single optimization has solved my J2EE application performance problems more than once.
Debug your Debugger
A common error in Java is the unnecessary activation of the debug log. It's tempting to just drop in a log.debug where you need it, but don't forget to add if (log.isDebugEnabled()) or you will fire up a String for a debug message that your logging framework will ignore anyway. If you check first, you can save time here. Java application performance is all about little improvements and good programming practices. Doing it right the first time and developing good habits will save frustration and reworking in the future. Java application performance tuning is all about little wins here and there to keep your overhead down and performance humming along. Don't let your debugger hold back your application.
Use the Stack and Avoid the Heap
It's not always possible, but it's a good idea to use primitive types in the stack as much as you can. For example, it's far better to use int over Integer wherever possible. Same goes for Double and double. Using stack storage instead of heap storage limits the use of memory consumption. It's just a good practice for efficient handling in your code, and it keeps your overhead down. Wrapper classes have their uses, but do your best to avoid them to keep your application lean and mean. Improving Java application performance is all about minimizing memory use wherever you can. Whenever possible, avoid using the heap when the stack will do. Primitive types are a great way to maintain this discipline and keep your overhead low.
Starting Small with the Heap
Memory is the currency of optimization. It's a valuable resource that you should treasure. I often think about it like money. Businesses need to run on the lowest cost base possible to maximize their profit off a given amount of revenue. Java application performance tuning is similar – lean and mean wins in the end. It's always a good idea to start with the minimum memory allocation. It's all about speed, so make sure you use as little memory as possible to keep your overhead down. Try to be like the Costco of Java development – fast, smart, and lean on cost. Use the minimum memory allocation for your heap, and work your way up as necessary.
The phrase "premature optimization" is something I try to keep in mind when developing in Java. It's tempting to try to improve Java performance as you go, optimizing on the fly to write the best possible code. The problem here is I don't know where the bottleneck will be until I'm close to the finish line. Don't waste your time on process optimization early in the development cycle. It just makes your code harder to read, difficult to maintain, and overly complex. Focus on the function first, and then go back to optimize your Java application performance once you know where to devote your optimization efforts.
Think Sets, Not Individual Elements
Concise algorithms using sets is a great way to optimize Java application performance. "Sets over elements" thinking is a key skill with Java and most other programming languages. It's often tempting to go from problem-to-problem with simple and local algorithms in your code. Big Picture thinking is a better way to approach application development, and sets are a good thing to master in order to work this way. Sets can help you avoid low-level calls that you often find with individual elements in your code.
To Cache or Not to Cache
Repetitive executions can add up when it comes to expensive or common code. Reusing your resources is more efficient and cheaper than generating new ones again and again. Caching is a good way to improve responsiveness, and I use it to optimize my Java application performance whenever I can. Like many things, there is a balance between caching and overhead. Memory is a valuable resource, and it's not worth caching everything. Focus on resources in heavy use, and don't fall into the temptation to over-cache lesser resources. Just because you can doesn't mean you should! A good profiler and performance test suite can help you decide whether to cache certain resources or not.
The Final Word
Java application performance tuning is an important step in the development cycle for many of my projects. Getting the most out of your code is a rewarding process, and it feels good to find improvements that make a difference. There's always a trade-off between time and reward, so I always try to keep the Big Picture in mind. The "95/5 Rule" is an important metric that I always try to remember. Too many times, I have found myself caught in the optimization trap. If I'm going to be spending my time staring at my monitor while doing Java application performance optimizations, I try to focus on where it counts. It doesn't take much to make a big difference if you improve in the right areas.
Writing the code perfectly the first time? It's just not possible. There is a natural balance between form and function when you develop in Java, and I find it's better to get the thing built first. Once I have a final product to improve, then I worry about performance optimization. Focusing on function first gives me space to be more creative and think about the problem as a whole. Optimization is there to help me improve my original ideas to make them lean, mean, and ready to work. Worried about your own Java applications? Need help with performance optimization and lean development? DevTeamSpace has a great team with lots of expertise and experience with Java development and Java application performance tuning.

Permissibility for a Muslim to Work for Netflix.
Answered by Ustadh Tabraze Azam
Question: Assalam alaykum
I would like to find out the rulings/permissibility for a muslim to work at Netflix.
I am a data analyst and would be analysing the companies customers data with the aim of understanding customer behaviour to grow Netflix's customer base.
Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
Working as a data analyst is a permissible line of work.
Non-Muslims aren't held accountable to the standards of the Sacred Law, and hence, the remuneration received for such work would also be permitted.
At any rate, merely providing a platform for streaming is a lawful activity in and of itself, despite any subsequent, religiously problematic content which may be found therein.
Generally, you should seek out wholesome employment, namely, the kind of work that corresponds to our ethical standards, or at least doesn't oppose them, and fulfils your needs too. But life can be complex, so if you find yourself in a sub-optimal situation, ask Allah Most High to assist you, and actively dislike the impermissible in your heart.
Please also see this answer and these answers.
And Allah Most High knows best.

Just had a conversation with a small business owner in Manotick: the rising electricity bills are a severe punch to his business. And he deeply resents paying those bills when he knows part of the increases are going for huge subsidies for wind and solar power.
"It just makes no sense at all," he said. "What kind of province will this be when the Liberal government is done? What will be left?"
Here are some local facts:
-wind power developers are subsidized about $500,000 per turbine per year. In North Gower, assuming 8 (though we don't for a moment believe that) that is $4 million per year.
-there are no jobs. Wolfe Island has 3 jobs for 86 turbines, where do you think that leaves North Gower after the construction period is over? No jobs.
-research out of the U.S. is showing that the average property value loss for properties within 2 miles/3.2 km of wind turbines is 40%. For North Gower, that represents a $47 million property value loss for young families, seniors and other homeowners
-at $10-15,000 a year per turbine, the farm owner isn't going to get rich on the lease payments, but the cost to the community is much much more
-wind power is not "green", it requires fossil fuel back-up due to its unreliability and tendency to produce power out of phase with demand, i.e., when it's not needed
-Ontario never did a cost-benefit analysis for this, or a business case study. The government simply doesn't know what it's getting into.
The Manotick store owner is right: this is just crazy.

In May this year, British members of parliament discussed an inquiry that revealed more than half of the UK public have a negative body image about themselves. In a country of over 62 million people, if body (dis)satisfaction is the cause of low self-esteem, that's a lot of negative attitudes being carried around out day to day.
Body Image is also the subject of a new BBC Three programming schedule called The Body Beautiful Season which is a range of docu-series exploring the sad statistics that more and more young people are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the way they look, backing up the parliamentary inquiry.
In steps the Central YMCA organization in a bid to change all of this, starting at the level it all begins: school. They are creating the country's first High School exam qualification based on Body Image, and will include lessons aimed at developing a healthy attitude to eating and exercise.
Once this is approved by the Exam board in Britain, instead of typical essays or written exams, teachers will instead assess a student's understanding of positive and negative images as portrayed by the media. YMCA are hoping they will be able to start this great and very important initiative by the start of the school year in 2013, turning "confident kids into confident adults".
It is really encouraging to see Britain creating such a great initiative, hearing the Government acknowledge their part (in the video below), and the media giving a voice to important issues like this. If you can't watch the video or don't have a Flash Player you can CLICK HERE to watch the BBC News video report.
What do you think about this new British School exam based on self-esteem and confidence building? Do you think it should be included in school curriculums all over the world?

Vegetarian Heaven. For really great value order the Saravanaa special meal, a platter of curries, pickles and breads
Mia Stainsby
Experience tells me to be wary of a lineup out a restaurant door and to enter fully aware that lineups mean one of two things: either you'll find good food for a great price or you'll eat 10 pounds of fuel food for the price of a bottle of Pepto Bismol.
At Saravanaa Bhavan, the lineup on weekends is for the good food. Not fantastic food mind you, but decent, very well-priced South Indian vegetarian food. The dosas (the melodramatic diva of South Indian dishes) are especially good and there are a lot to choose from. The baseball bat-sized crispy south Indian crepes, with a filling in the mid-portion are light, crispy and delicate — a meal for under $10.
Saravanaa Bhavan is part of an international chain of vegetarian South Chennai-based restaurants. (Chennai is the former city of Madrid, population 7.5 million.) The restaurant locations cover the globe, from India to Oman, Singapore, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, the U.S.A. and the U.K.; in Canada, there are two in Ontario and this is the first for B.C.
Part of the reason for the attractive prices is the owners haven't sunk a lot into looks; it's a bare-bones, brightly lit room. However, there's no shortage of servers. They seem to be bent on good service but some need more training, or the system is flawed — the runners seem lost and a couple of times we saw our dishes go sailing by before the guy stopped in his tracks and looked perplexed, even with numbers on tables. Over here! we beckoned.
Going back to the dosa, I've gone about eating it by mauling with knife and fork and Roto-tilling my way through the gargantuan crispy crepe. Saravanaa manager Mano Jayaramen set me straight. (Did I sense him rolling his eyes at the other end of the phone?) "Take a bit in your hand, then dip in chutney," he says, "then in sambar. It comes with two, three chutneys but all have to go with sambar."
So, get that? Break off a piece, dip, dip, dip and eat. The sambar is a soupy lentil dip.
As well as dosa, there are other typically South Indian dishes — vada (like lenti doughnuts) and idli (steamed rice and lentil dumplings). Utthappam is more like a dense pancake with various toppings. The idli are often served in hospitals because they are healthy, Jayaramen says.
But I'm fixated on dosas. In India, they're breakfast. "We eat a lot," Jayaramen laughs.
For really great value, order the "Saravanaa special meal," a platter of curries and pickles and breads. For $8.95, it's worth the wait in a line. A separate menu features some vegetarian dishes from Northern India, dishes we're more accustomed to in Vancouver — aloo gobi, mutter paneer and the like.
In case you're curious about the sign that says "HSB", Jayaramen says that the "H" is for hotel, explaining that when the restaurants first opened, there was little distinction between "hotel" and "restaurant" in India. He adds with pride that in Delhi, Sonia and Rajiv Gandhi's son Rahul stood in a queue to eat. Once recognized, he was offered a VIP queue-jump but he graciously opted to be democratic.
And if you're wondering what the name of the restaurant is about, Saravanaa is one of Hindu god Shiva's sons, a name often used in businesses. Bhavan can be translated as house or store.

Introduction: Diabetes is due to defect in Beta cell of islets of Langerhans, that is seen in pancreas. This defect is responsible for disturbance in blood glucose level. Other factors which are also responsible includes diet, hereditary, immunological factor, lack of exercise etc., The damage to nerves in DM has been assumed to be a result of the interaction of metabolic defects complicated by vasa nervorum abnormalities. Nerve conduction velocity, are standard measurement used to confirm the presence or absence of diabetic neuropathy. In Nerve conduction velocity study common nerves that are studied are common peroneal nerve, tibial nerve and sural nerve. Materials and Methods: The study was planned in Physiology Department in close collaboration with Department of Medicine (Diabetic Section), S.p.mc. Bikaner. A total of 100 subjects for study from diabetic centre, were selected. Institutional ethical clearance was taken before commencement of study from ethical committee of our institution. Results: In present study, maximum number of patients were non-smokers in both study and control groups (87% and 91% respectively) and this difference was found statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). We observed that the patients were vegetarian in both study and control groups and this difference was found statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). The mean peroneal nerve in study group was 42.26 ± 1.95 m/s and in control group it was 52.05 ± 4.78 m/s and the difference was found statistically highly significant (P < 0.001) and mean value of tibial nerve in study group was 41.71 ± 2.29 m/s and in control group it was 49.84 ± 2.67 m/s and the difference was found statistically highly significant (P < 0.001). Conclusion: In our study, we concluded that nerve conduction velocities decreases in tibial and common peroneal nerve in diabetic patients as compared to control. Nerve conduction velocities also decrease with increasing age, increased HbA1C >6.5%.

Rupert's Gambit
You can count on one hand the number of media moguls you bet against at your own risk. Atop the list is doubtless News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch, who last week cemented his standing by locking down the $5 billion-plus purchase of Dow Jones and its centerpiece, the Wall Street Journal.
In the wake of that acquisition, bookmakers certainly shifted the over/under for Murdoch, and cronies Roger Ailes and Neil Cavuto, making a real go of it with their coming gambit, the Fox Business Network (FBN), slated to launch October 15 in 30 million homes. Even though the Dow Jones merger is still pending a shareholder vote, there was already much industry buzz over how FBN would end-run a long-standing pact CNBC now enjoys with the Journal, set to run until 2012, with the channel using the resources of that venerable brand on reports.
Whatever happens, you can bet Murdoch will use his far-flung resources to cross-promote the Journal and FBN, hoping to graft the blue-chip newspaper brand on his newbie network. But it's vital that FBN and the Journal show independent voices in their reporting and stay free of partisanship beyond what's clearly labeled opinion. That's the bulk of the baggage for Fox News: For all the "fair and balanced" marketing, it's still perceived by a lot of folks as being anything but.
Indeed, as soon as it's humanly—and legally—possible, I'd rechristen the Fox Business Network as the Wall Street Journal Network. Given the Journal/CNBC deal, there's some question about when News Corp. could buy that OK, but the sooner the better.
The potential prize is enormous if FBN is a hit. Wall Street analysts peg the break-up value of CNBC at easily north of $4 billion; and Fox News, which, when it launched in 1996 was considered by most, including yours truly, a long shot at success, is a 10-figure asset as well. If the plan to turbo-charge FBN into profitability works, the billions Murdoch shelled out for Dow Jones won't look like such a premium.
This hardly means FBN is a lock, however. CNBC has long dominated business news on the tube and Bloomberg Television is doing quite nicely, thanks. Murdoch may be a titan and Ailes one of the savviest programmers around, but even with the Wall Street Journal in the family, they still face a craggy uphill battle. True, they've beaten long odds before, but they've also taken their hits. If you recall, News Corp. made an unsuccessful play to build a handful of regional sports networks into a national competitor to go after ESPN a few years back. You can bet he remembers it.
Ailes, who successfully spearheaded CNBC before taking the reins at Fox News 11 years ago, has no illusions about the fight ahead. He's already faced the daunting challenge of trying to program in prime time when, historically, there's been little appetite for business news. Your World with Neil Cavuto on Fox News might deliver better ratings than anything on CNBC during the day. But in general, the fickle, coveted audiences advertisers pay plenty to reach on CNBC tend to be creatures of habit. Not to mention this: The number of viewers tuning into financial news is finite. FBN's path to success is predicated on grabbing significant share from a seemingly finite pie.
If Murdoch and company play it smart, which they usually do, FBN has a real shot. But success will require a balancing act: Managing the Wall Street Journal's tradition of editorial independence, and building co-brand equity. Regardless of the odds, we wouldn't bet on his crapping out.

Using your Plastic Free Vegan Deodorant:
Remove the top cap, using your finger or thumb push up from the base of the cardboard tube. Gently apply a thin layer (a few swipes) for the zero waste vegan deodorant onto clean, dry underarms. This deodorant is best applied after a shower allowing it to absorb into your skin before getting dressed.
To lower the deodorant back into the tube after use firmly tap the tube on a bench and replace the lid to keep it fresh.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP/KPIX 5) — Johnny Cueto remains in the Dominican Republic helping his ailing father a week after pitchers and catchers reported to spring training, and the San Francisco Giants plan to reach out to him to see how he is doing and whether he thinks he will be ready to pitch for his country in the World Baseball Classic.
San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy is not worried about Cueto's preparation. The right-hander has been throwing and working out regularly at the club's academy.
"The WBC is starting to cause a slight concern," Bochy said Monday. "He'll be smart enough to know if he's ready or not."
Cueto, who signed a $130 million, six-year contract before last season, went 18-5 with a 2.79 ERA and five complete games in 32 starts last year.
Bochy said the 31-year-old Cueto ideally would be built up to the range of 50-60 pitches ahead of the WBC. The Dominican squad is set to open against Canada in Pool C on March 9 in Miami.
Cueto showed a year ago in his first spring training with the Giants how meticulous a routine he keeps to prepare for a season and even between starts.
"You know Johnny: He's smart. He has a great way of getting ready, he paces himself," Bochy said. "You saw last year. … Johnny knows what it takes to get ready."
Bochy has received video of Cueto's throwing sessions back home and didn't want to speculate on his status for the WBC until speaking directly with Cueto.
If Cueto doesn't feel quite ready by March 9, there's also the option that he could join the Dominican Republic team for a later round of the tournament.
"We're fine. This spring has started early, so he'll have plenty of time to get ready," Bochy said. "Now, the question will be, will he be ready for the WBC? That's the question we have to answer now, and that's why we're going to call him, we're going to try to get ahold of him to see exactly where we're at. He'll be honest with us. We're going to talk about a lot of things, see exactly where he's at, where he's at mentally, too, how his father's doing. He's got a lot going on right now."

text: Guest John Posted July 31, 2008 Interesting! Do you remember any of the other "questionable" dialog before the Sola talk? SV, should we maybe do a gender and relationship check for the Sola talk? I know Sola can go either way, but I can't see Angelo caring unless he's got an active interest. Sorry, not really. All I remember was that, after the transformation and his conversation (he initiated it), I started a conversation with him and my conversation options all seemed as if I were in some type of romantic liaison with him focused on playing down whatever attraction that Drow men had, etc. Oh, and the conversations started almost immediately after the transformation before we had left Adalon's lair.

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Mark Esper did not listen in on the July 25 phone call between President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart that is ground zero of a fledging impeachment inquiry of the president, Pentagon officials said Thursday.
"To my knowledge, no one from the Department of Defense was on that call," Jonathan Hoffman, the chief Pentagon spokesperson, told Pentagon reporters on Thursday.
"I've specifically asked (Defense Secretary Mark Esper) that question and he was not on that call," Hoffman said.
He said he was not certain if Esper received any notes from the July 25 call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that is now under scrutiny
Later in the briefing, Hoffman noted that "The secretary has an incredibly busy schedule and is working on a number of different issues at any one time. He doesn't spend most of his days sitting in on other people's phone calls."
Questions about Ukraine dominated the 32-minute briefing, including the announcement that the Pentagon's general counsel's office has directed that all departments should provide any critical documents and records related to the Ukrainian issue for "cataloging and review."
Hoffman said that was "a fairly standard practice.
"Out of an abundance of caution, they've taken the steps to have documents be preserved," Hoffman said. The records will go to General Counsel Paul C. Ney, Jr.
The center point for the impeachment probe, as far as any Pentagon connection, is the July 25 call where Trump asked Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden as a favor. Some interpret that as an attempt to pressure Kiev in exchange for nearly $400 million in congressionally-mandated security assistance.
Esper became Defense Secretary on July 23. He served as Acting Secretary of Defense from June 24, 2019, to July 15, 2019.
The aid was first announced on June 18 but the Trump administration delayed releasing it until September 11, 2019.
In May, Defense Undersecretary for Policy John Rood wrote to Congress and "certified that the Government of Ukraine has taken substantial actions to make defense institutional reforms for the purposes of decreasing corruption (and) increasing accountability."
That letter was legally required to release the $250 million of the aid that flowed from Pentagon coffers. In June, Pentagon officials publicly announced the release of the money. It was to be spent on sniper rifles, ammunition, and counter-artillery radar systems and other equipment, as well as training and interoperability support.
An additional $141 million was to come from the State Department.
Congress had been notified on Feb. 28 and May 23 that the White House intended to send the assistance.

Or at least, that's how I rationalize it to myself.

Paradiddle, how do you like the Coolermaster keyboard? It took some getting used to for me, as it was smaller than my old keyboard, but I love it now. The strange thing is, it's lengthened my boot time by a good 30 seconds.
i personally think there is something dodgy goin on with the cm keyboard. i sometimes have the problem of windows not booting, then when i unplug the keyboard, it then boots up properly.Originally Posted by Ruggerbugger
very strange. i think its my mobo settings.

I think it could have something to do with the system searching for USB devices, but I'm not sure.

Here's the corner I'm forced into in the study whilst at home. My laptop lives in my room but there's no way I could fit my CRT in there without taking over most of the floorspace with a big enough desk! I may redo these photos when I've got some better light as the flash of the camera makes things look a bit washed out.

My hole. On the table there's my main rig inside my Coolermaster 210, Sony G400 19" CRT, MS Optical mouse and my Sony Ericsson P900. Far left on the floor there's a Yamaha 200w subwoofer next to my old rig inside a £10 Ebuyer case (actually a very nice case). On the little table thing there's a Kef Q95C centre speaker and to the left of that there's a single-slice Acorn RiscPC600 underneath a double-slice SA Risc PC. On top of those there's a Denon 1601 AV-Receiver and the Dell £10 colour printer recently featured on these forums. Atop the filing cabinet there's a Kef Cresta2 speaker with an ATi Remote Wonder and hifi remote on top.
Closer view of the desk, showing the as-yet unstealthed/unsprayed floppy drive and also my home-brew push-button baybus that's missing the front panel as it doesn't fit the new case and a button front that's fallen off. I've got plans for a hinge-down push-click style stealth mod for the whole 3.5" area.

Greetings fellow Spiceworks' UK users...
I'm sure one or two of you have some really old hardware and operating systems appearing in your Spiceworks scans, the type that you have to sort out manually because WMI was just a blink in the Microsoft Corporation's collective eye when these OSes were around
So come on... list 'em here, they have to be online and productive to your organisation, not some junk you've got stored in a closet somewhere. List the hardware spec, operating system and reason why you're still using it.
I'll start:
We've got a Dell Dimension D300 running Windows 95, it's connected to a flat table plotter which simply refuses to work with any newer type of hardware or operating system (and believe me, I've tried!)
10 Replies
1996? That's new kit surely?!
I'm still running Novell 3.2 on an Elonex 566 server. Installed December 1994. Original spec:
- Pentium 66MHz processor;
- 16Mb RAM;
- 1Gb SCSI drive (yes! 1gig in 1994, boy were we flash!!)
- 512Kb cache
- 1Gb tape backup drive (can't remember which format)
For which we paid the princely sum of £14k (plus VAT). Since then the tape drive has been upgraded and the RAM also to 64Mb. Was also originally running Novell 3.12 which was much improved by the upgrade to 3.2 (!)
Still in use, but now just for (equally old) accounts office printer, as we're also still basically using the same (specialist legal) accounts package that was installed back then, but now via Windows XP and SBS 2003.
The printer is an Epson FX1170 dot matrix.
So, that's 2 pieces of kit installed December 2004 and still in (daily) use.
lol, good luck Daryl! We'll send a search & rescue team for you in a couple of days or so!
14k for all that! Wow! I think we paid close to that for two PowerEdge 4200's back in 1998.
I haven't got any 1gb tape cartridges but I've got a boxload of old floppies and 40/80mb Syquest cartridges...
MCSE-2000.NET Ltd is an IT service provider.
well got a Toshiba T1200 in the stores still boots of the floppy, a Amstrad ppc640 i think, couple PSION organisers series I and II and last but least a 80386 notebook wit 1M memory (upgraded) and a 80387 coprocessor fitted cor it was supper fast in its day, still boots win 3 tried win95 worked but not to well.
just skipped my oldest server 2x PII 450MHz processors was our AD master under 2000.
That reminded me of the bad old days of the ZX Spectrum, trying to load (what was then) a kick-ass game I'd copied of one of my mates on a cassette that had orginally had the latest eighties hits on it. There I'd be, sitting there willing the cassette to work only for it to fail right at the end... doh!
Then after several rewinds and further failed attempts to load, I'd get fed-up and load Jetpac instead!

Shirley Chisholm announced her intention to run for the 1972 democratic nomination for president on January 25, 1972. Chisholm was the first African American woman elected to Congress when she won the election for the New York representative in 1968.
From the speech:
"I am not the candidate of black America, although I am black and proud.
I am not the candidate of the women's movement of this country, although I am a woman, and I am equally proud of that.
I am not the candidate of any political bosses or fat cats or special interests."
Her ethical and logical appeals remind me of both Clinton's and Sanders's rhetorical appeals during the 2016 primary election.

Who Should Consider this eBook & DVD Set?
We recommend this DVD for all levels... from 10 year olds all the way to the college and pro levels. Coach Schuring has used this same offensive system with his college teams, high school teams, and his club program (5th grade to 12th grade).
For youth teams, we recommend this system to coaches that will work with a team for more than one year. As an example, if you coach a 4th grade team and will work with them for only one year, this product is probably over-kill for you. But if you will work with the team more than one year, then this is a highly recommended system that will grow with you and be a great investment.
Instant Access
In addition to receiving the DVDs, you get immediate access to the eBooks and streaming videos.
After completing your order, you'll get access to a password protected area where you can watch the videos and download the eBook. The streaming videos require high-speed internet and can be viewed on any computer or tablet connected to the internet.
How Much Does it Cost?
The price for the 5 DVD and 4 eBook package is $145.
Online streaming video is also included with the DVD purchase (accessed in the password protected members area).
60 Day Money Back Guarantee

I had the privilege of meeting Hector (AKA Confererate) today over at ERT&D. He really came across as a standup guy and it was a pleasure talking with him. He took the time to show me several items he has in the works. You can tell he takes great pride in his work, his products and what they've done and plan to do to improve their manufacturing. This ain't no Armory USA spinoff of yesterday. I already know I plan to be visiting ERT&D as often as I can.
Hector BTW: I got the Saiga .308 barrel pressed out and still need the lathe work.

Job Placement and Staffing for Mailroom WorkersMarch 14th, 2016
Working in a mailroom is often the first step at the start of a promising career. However, work in a mailroom and handling an array of intraoffice, interoffice, and external communications can also serve as its own career. In fact, experienced and dedicated individuals filling a role of this type is vital to the success of many businesses. However, not every person is a good fit for mailroom work. Workers in the mailroom should have certain skills, characteristics, and abilities to ensure a high likelihood of success in this role.
At Philly Temps & Perm, we recognize the vital role mailroom workers pay in organizational communications. Therefore, our dedicated job placement specialists always strive to ensure that the first placement we make is a perfect placement. We understand that bad placements not only waste the time of the company and the applicant but can lead to communications issues, lost business, and an array of other problems. Hiring managers and interested workers can speak with on of our dedicated job placement specialists by calling us at 215-995-2607 or by contacting us online today.
What Job Duties Are Mailroom Workers Expected to Handle Day-to-Day?
While every mailroom and company are different, there is an assortment of core job duties that mailroom workers are expected to have. While workers should always listen to the instructions of their direct and other supervisors, these duties can provide insight into the generalized job responsibilities they may have. This include:
- Receiving incoming mail – Depending on the size of the organization, the amount of incoming mail can be substantial. This mail must be retrieve or accepted promptly. Thereafter it must be handled and sorted in an expeditious manner. After sorting, the mail must be delivered o intended recipients with few to no errors. The incoming mail may contain time-sensitive materials, so efficiency is key.
- Collecting and sending outgoing mail – In some offices, workers may drop mail into a centralized location for collection. In other offices, mail may be collected at the desk o each and every individual worker. After the mail is collected it may need to be sorted according to whether it is local or out-of-town mail.
- Weighing and directing parcels and packages – There are an array of carriers that ship packages including USPS, UPS, and FedEx. These packages must be weighed, paid for according to weight and size, and directed to the proper carrier. In many cases, selecting the right method of shipment is also important.
- Carrying heavy loads – While packages can be heavy, the immense amount of letters and solicitations in a mail bin can also reach relatively high weights. The individual must be comfortable with lifting and carrying these potentially heavy objects across the room or throughout a building.
The above captures only the core task a mailroom worker would be expected to fulfill. Many positions will require the worker to complete additional tasks relating to tracking and maintaining the mailroom and its organization and cleanliness.
What Skills and Abilities Should a Mailroom Worker Have?
The ideal mailroom worker should be experienced and able to demonstrate his or her previous success in this role. However, certain skills and characteristics can predict success. To start, the mail room worker should be the type of person who thrives in a structured environment where organization and punctuality are of paramount importance. Punctuality is important not only because the office operates on a set schedule, but because workers may plan their day around set mail pick-up times. Deviating from these times can greatly interfere with the course and flow of business.
The ideal mailroom worker should also be a motivated individual who isn't afraid to move around. The fact of the matter is that mailroom workers are frequently on their feet. They are constantly moving to accomplish their tasks described above. If you'd prefer a more sedentary role, mailroom work probably isn't for you.
Mailroom workers should also have at least a high school level of education and a good sense of general knowledge. Mailroom workers are expected to read a vast array of materials and determine the proper handling of them. Furthermore, office workers may have questions about the best way to send something to Philidelphia, New York, Bucks County, or somewhere else. Being able to answer questions related to the job professionally and knowledgeably is extremely important.

Whether an owner, a design professional, a construction manager or a contractor, all construction professionals must learn how to analyze, prepare and justify time extension requests. Owners and their representatives are tasked with the responsibility of receiving, analyzing and recommending a course of action and deciding on all time extension requests submitted by contractors. Contractors and construction management at risk are required to analyze, prepare, justify and submit time extension requests on their own behalf and/or on behalf of their subcontractors.
This presentation by expert speaker James G. Zack Jr., CCM, CFCC, FAACE, FRICS, FFA, PMP, identifies the tests that have been set forth by the U.S. Federal Courts to justify both excusable and compensable delay time extension requests. The session discusses how these rules are applied, whether submitting or analyzing a time extension request. It will also discuss the rules concerning concurrent delay and how the courts hold the claimant responsible for allocating concurrent delay.
Additionally, the presentation will highlight two new court rulings which may be "game changers" concerning delays, time extension requests, and the use of concurrent delay as a defense against liquidated damages.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you are simply replacing a window of the same size into the existing opening, then the response is no.

But do not panic, our staff can deal with any type of project, big or small.
That's an excellent question. That will hinge on the type of job that is being done.

More About Wendell, NC
Wendell is a town in Wake County, North Carolina United States. It is a satellite town of Raleigh, the state capital. The population was 5,845 at the 2010 census.[4]
Incorporated in 1903, Wendell was settled in the 1850s, when farmers in Granville County were victims of a blight that came to be known as the Granville County Wilt. Their tobacco crops failed, and they chose to move to a new location with more fertile land for their crops.
3 Helpful Hints For Selecting A Local Window Installation Company
Do you want windows replaced or installed? In that case, then you'll should take time to get the best window installation company in your neighborhood. Picking out the wrong company could cost a lot of money. There are many things which could go wrong when a window is not properly installed. Here are several helpful hints for avoiding disaster and choosing the best possible window installation company.
1. Avoid The "Jack Of All Trades"
It's understandable that companies need to make as much money as is possible. Due to this, they often times branch out and include a number of different services. Unfortunately for the customers, this can lead to a lack of focus. An organization that spreads itself too thin will never really specialize in one area, meaning they could never really be the greatest.
In terms of window installation, you wish to select a company that focuses entirely on windows. They might remove, replace, install, and look after windows, but it really isn't going to be the same company that does your landscaping or fixes your roof. You want to make use of a company which is installing windows daily and thus has a bunch of knowledge of windows.
2. Learn About Their Window Quality
It's an easy task to get so focused on the organization as well as its workers which you overlook the windows themselves. Its not all windows are created equal and never all installation companies use the same suppliers. There's no sense in being the very best installation company if you're gonna install sub-par windows for the clients.
One method to ensure the caliber of the windows is to discover when they are CSA certified. The CSA Group certifies goods that meet an incredibly higher level of safety and quality. Windows and doors are two items that are normally certified through the CSA Group. In case the installer doesn't use CSA certified windows, chances are they simply aren't making use of the best product available.
3. A Lot More Certifications
Certifications for windows are great and tend to be certifications for people and businesses. The CSA Group doesn't certify businesses or contractors, but there are many services who do. A number of different certifications to search for would be the American Window and Door Institute (ASDI) certification along with the Window Wise certification.
Can you imagine if the company has certifications from the different organization? It will likely be up to you to look into that organization and find out if their standard of quality is sufficient. There are several organizations that only hand out certifications for a fee and they really should not be taken seriously. Search for organizations which may have strict standards and regularly require retesting.
Don't Forget To Inquire About Around
Finally, don't forget to inquire friends, members of the family, and co-workers when they have experience with any local window installation companies. Odds are, somebody you know did business with one. They could either provide a recommendation or let you know which companies are advisable to avoid. But bear in mind to hold these hints at heart regardless if considering a recommendation from a trusted friend.

In the wake of widespread media coverage of the Internet security debacle known as the Heartbleed bug, many clients are understandably anxious to know what they can do to protect themselves. Here's a short primer:
The Heartbleed bug concerns a security vulnerability in a component of recent versions of OpenSSL, a technology that a huge chunk of the Internet's websites rely upon to secure the traffic, passwords, and other sensitive information transmitted to and from users and visitors.
The bug has affected many popular websites and services — ones you might use every day, like Gmail and Facebook — and could have quietly exposed your sensitive account information (such as passwords and credit card numbers) over the past two years. This does not impact your local computer passwords, for instance when you first boot up your computer and key in a username and password; those passwords are not impacted by this.
Some Internet companies that were vulnerable to the bug have already updated their servers with a security patch to fix the issue. This means you'll need to go in and change your passwords immediately for these sites. Even that is no guarantee that your information wasn't already compromised, but there's also no indication that hackers knew about the exploit before this week. The companies that are advising customers to change their passwords are doing so as a precautionary measure.
Although changing your password regularly is always good practice, if a website or service hasn't yet patched the problem, your information will still be vulnerable.
Also, if you reused the same password on multiple sites, and one of those sites was vulnerable, you'll need to change the password everywhere. It's not a good idea to use the same password across multiple sites, anyway.
If you would like to check whether or not a site is vulnerable, head over to
Should you have any other questions or concerns, please contact Tech Help via email or phone and we'll be happy to answer them.

By Gavin White, IFRC and Kassem Chaalan, Lebanese Red Cross
"What I like the best in our project is training the children. In Lebanon, children love the Red Cross," explained Farah Ezzeddine while standing in the main entrance of to Al-Jaafareya High School in Tyre, her bright red vest sharply contrasted with the grey uniforms of the teachers. Together with others, Farah started the Lebanese Red Cross school preparedness program in Tyre.
"In Tyre, we prepare children for three scenarios: earthquakes, fires and war," added Farah. Following awareness sessions on earthquake preparedness, the Lebanese Red Cross emergency medical services team leads evacuation drills with the students.
As the teachers gather their students and account for any missing children, relief vehicles come driving in the yard and response teams rush up the floors to attend to the "injured" children in the simulation.
The school had a VIP turnout for this year's annual exercise. As usual, the local civil protection brigades and Red Cross volunteers stepped into their roles, but also in attendance on this warm Wednesday morning were firefighting advisors from Austria and Malaysia, representatives from the German Red Cross and Palestinian Red Crescent Society, as well as the mayor of Tyre and the ambassador of Switzerland to Lebanon.
Students, teachers and parents suddenly broke into a round of applause as the rescue teams carefully lowered a stretcher from a second-floor window to the ground. The student in the stretcher remained motionless as they carried him to the ambulance. This rescue team is the community emergency response team from the existing local ambulance service, trained and equipped by Lebanese Red Cross to serve their locality.
The exercise continued as a responder lowered himself from the roof with a child in his arms. Several additional rounds of applause welcome the responders as they take on increasingly challenging tasks.
As the evacuations progress, the teachers who are part of the school emergency response team – recognizable in their yellow jerseys – continued their rounds, covering the heads of the smaller children as the warm sun breaks through the cloud cover.
Media interviews and group pictures wrapped up the day as the students filed back slowly to their classrooms, still excited by the drill. However, as the children disappeared, their parents seemed relieved that today was nothing more than a drill.

Diagnosed with early labor, Hiba Swailam, 24, obtained a permit from Israel to leave Gaza and travel to Jerusalem, where she gave birth to seriously underweight triplets at Makassed Hospital. She could not stay with her children because the permit had expired, so the young mother was forced to return home.
"I told them I at least want to stay to breastfeed the babies, and they said 'No,'" Hiba told RT.
I kept crying. It wasn't easy for me to leave them. I didn't know if they would live or die, and I went home devastated.
As result, Hiba was not with her children when the two of them died at the hospital. She was informed of their death over the phone instead. The surviving child had spent several months at the hospital away from her parents, before Israeli authorities issued a permit for the family to pick up the baby.
"I had to endure a lot of suffering and depression, but thank God, all of it went away when I saw my daughter," said Hiba's husband, Mohammad.
ALSO ON RT.COM1,700 Gazans shot by IDF face amputation due to funding crisis, UN warnsGhada Majadleh, who works for the medical NGO, Physicians for Human Rights – Israel, told RT that there is no specific time period for Israeli authorities to issue permits for Gazans to travel to Israel for medical purposes. The process can take anything from a month to over a year in some cases, she said.
The separation of the kids and their parents influences… their recovery and the process of treatment itself.
RT has reached out to the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), which handles travel permits for Gazans, for comment and will publish their reply once it's available.

Big bettors on Georgia, public on Alabama in CFP title game
Wynn Las Vegas might be the only sports book that's heavy on Georgia after taking two six-figure wagers on the Bulldogs (+4) over Alabama in Monday's national title game.
January 7, 2018 - 4:20 pm
The betting public is all over Alabama but the biggest bets are on Georgia in Monday's College Football Playoff national championship game.
The Crimson Tide are favored by either 3½ or 4 points at Las Vegas sports books and the total is 44½ or 45. Alabama is minus-180 on the money line and the Bulldogs are plus-160.
"We're going to need the Bulldogs," William Hill sports book director Nick Bogdanovich said Sunday afternoon. "It could shift, but I'm sure we're going to need Georgia pretty good."
MGM Resorts sports books took early sharp action — including a six-figure wager — on Georgia at plus-4½ points and a sizable five-figure bet on the Bulldogs on the money line. But The Mirage sports book director Jeff Stoneback said Sunday that the majority of the action is on Alabama against the spread and on the money line.
CG Technology sports books reported one-sided action on Alabama from the Pros and the Joes, and the Westgate and Caesars Palace sports books reported one-sided action on the Crimson Tide from the masses.
Wynn Las Vegas might be the only place that's heavy on Georgia after taking two six-figure wagers on the Bulldogs.
"We still need Alabama right now," Wynn Las Vegas sports book director Johnny Avello said Sunday.
Sharp money poured in early on the under at MGM Resorts and the total dropped from 48 to 45 at the Westgate.
"These teams know each other so well, there won't be any surprises. If there are minimal turnovers, like one each, it will be a low-scoring game," Westgate sports book manager Ed Salmons said. "There'll be a lot of running and lot of clock movement. I can't see either team throwing it 30 times, unless one team gets way down."
In the CFP semifinals, the Crimson Tide dominated Clemson in a 24-6 win as 3½-point favorites. The Bulldogs — coached by Kirby Smart, Saban's former defensive coordinator — rallied for a 54-48 double-overtime victory over Oklahoma as 2½-point favorites.
Alabama coach Nick Saban, bidding to join Bear Bryant as the only coaches with six national titles, is 11-0 against his former assistants, winning by an average margin of 38-10.
The Crimson Tide have been favored in 110 of their last 111 games, rolling to a 38-10 win at Georgia as a 1-point underdog in 2015.
Handicapper Doug Fitz, who went 14-6 ATS (70 percent) to win the Review-Journal's Bowl Challenge this season, is backing the Crimson Tide, who lost to Clemson in last season's national championship.
"I just don't think they're going to lose the championship game two years in a row," Fitz said. "They're too experienced, too good and obviously extremely well-coached.
"Also, when everybody seems to be on one side, I love going the other way. And everyone I'm hearing just loves Georgia."
Fitz, who gives away all his plays for free at SystemPlays.com and @fitz_doug, also leans to the over mostly as a contrarian play.
"Everybody I hear thinks it's going to be a defensive battle and there's not going to be a lot of scoring," he said. "Everybody loves the under, so I'll go with the over. You also get a little value on the number because it keeps going down."
