We are excited to announce that we will soon be launching the new innovation portal for our Innovator Network! Not an innovator with us yet? Sign-up and you will hear more and more from us over the next month about specific features and improvements to look forward to with the new Innovator Network portal, but we first want to share a little with you about why we are making this investment in our platform.
We brought in a great group to form and subsequently expand our in-house development and product team teams, rebuilding the platform from the ground up. We are doing this to grow Xinova and our network of innovators to be more efficient and tackle a wider variety of problems. The following are just some of the ways the new platform will help accomplish these goals:
Our process of narrowing hundreds of ideas down to the most interesting ones for our clients includes a wide variety of people and has a lot of moving parts. We have optimized the workflow, which should result in solutions passing through the entire review process more quickly, with greater visibility and feedback to you, the inventor.
Historically, the RFI (request for invention) has been our flagship opportunity. While the RFI is here to stay, we are looking to expand how we utilize our highly skilled network to include things outside of invention. A recent example of this is our RFAs (request for application) available on an invited basis. As we grow, the breadth of opportunities we support will expand.
A crucial part of scaling is being able to distribute some work within the network. This will provide our network members an additional way to stay engaged, be compensated for their expertise, and allowing us to continue growing Xinova. There are some actions we have been sending out to the network for years in small batches, but now we will look to systematically share with select network members the process of literature reviews, export reviews, technology reviews, and authoring of RFIs.
As we expand into new kinds of projects we need to have a network of innovators who match the new kind of skills needed. These new areas include, but aren't limited to, business, finance, technical writing, design, and prototyping. We look forward to bringing experts in these fields into the network, as well as encouraging our existing members to update their skills to reflect this broader range. These additional skillsets will aid in commercializing your innovations. The additional people will be met with additional and different opportunities than we've offered in the past.
Everything is being built with you in mind. We will be studying how people use the new portal and listening closely to user feedback to continuously improve it. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to invent with us and we ultimately want to make the new platform more than a place that you submit solutions. We want it to be place that you can come and "hang out" with some of the sharpest innovators in the world.
Your login information will remain the same in almost every case, and the URL will auto redirect, so all you need to do is log in to experience the new site. We will be releasing the site in early August, but here's a screenshot as an early teaser:

When the Beatles Met Elvis, Things Got Awkward
When the Beatles Met Elvis, Things Got Awkward
It was the first and only time, and for a reason.
In the new book Being John Lennon: A Restless Life, author Ray Connolly recounts the surprisingly awkward first — and only — meeting between two of music's massive megastars: Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
The meeting took place on August 27, 1965, at Elvis's Bel Air home, where Priscilla Presley and a few of her friends were "overdressed" in party attire. When the four shaggy-haired English rockstars arrived, they did a lot of staring, but not a lot of talking. Connolly writes that Elvis joked, because he was uncomfortable in the silence, "Well, if you guys are just going to stare at me, I'm going to bed."
Lithub published the full excerpt from the book, which details the events that followed: John Lennon employing a mock German accent, George Harrison sitting stoned and silent, Paul trying to make conversation and Ringo, who "went off to play pool with some of Elvis's Memphis Mafia entourage."
Not exactly a great first impression — and when The Beatles invited Elvis to join them at their Beverly Glen rented home for a party the next night, the King did not oblige.

So, you want to send your kids to private school in a few years' time to give them the best possible education? After reading this news article about school fees then I hope you are prepared to fork out the big bucks. The cost of privately educating a child in Melbourne now sits at $536,683 – which to be clear includes all uniforms, books and extracurricular activities.
This is an average of $41,283.31 per year on school fees, if you have two kids then you can just go ahead and double that to $82,566 net per year.
To pay for this, you need to be bringing home $125K gross per year, and that's just to pay for education costs. That doesn't take into account your living expenses, mortgage repayments and the fact that you likely don't just sit on your couch alone at night – you probably have a life you somewhat enjoy living too.
On a side note, the excursions at these private schools are pretty good – my nephew and niece at Brighton Grammar get to go to Vietnam for school excursions in year 8. I'm pretty sure in year 8 I had the afternoon at the Sherbrook Forest which was amazing at the time! Times have changed.
Coming from the high school system at Balwyn High I've wondered if this whole private school education is worth it. The cost is high but surely there has to be some other benefits? I definitely think the network you build in high school at private school comes in very beneficial throughout your adult life, whether they be through sports activities or just the people you hang out with.
If networks and footy teams don't really float your boat for $1Mil bucks then you can try your luck getting into some of Melbourne's most prestigious high schools. It may surprise you but a public High School is the best performing school in the state with its VCE scores! Mac Robertson Girls High School is the best girls' school in the state and Melbourne High School in the top 3 in the state for boys' schools. Both of these have tough entry and you will need to pass some exams to get in but compared to $536K you'd be looking at closer to $66K for public schooling across the duration.
How to get started saving now for school fees:
If private school is the way you want to go, then don't just hope that you'll be earning more money when the time comes. You need to plan for it now by putting money aside.
Simply put away a set amount each week
Anything is going to be better than just waiting till they start school. If you could afford $200 per week, then this will be $10,400 per annum to put towards school fees. It won't cover a year of education but in some cases, it may cover 50% which will be a big help.
You can either have this come out as a direct debit into an external savings account which you have limited access to or what I would recommend is an offset account against your home loan. Some lenders offer multiple offset accounts so you can compartment your money for different purposes (read more about this here).
Invest in a school fees fund with a specified fund manager
Again, you will be required to make regular contributions. I'd suggest doing your own research and finding one the suits your needs. Make sure you check things like ongoing fees, cancellation costs and what happens to the money if you child drops out of school at 14 to become an app developer.
You could also speak to a financial planner, they can give you some good advice. Just be mindful to keep an eye on the fees again. You don't want your nest egg nibbled away by fees, maintenance charges and administration costs.
Get a scholarship
This is what I'm going for with my daughters if we go down the path of private schools. I've got them running laps at 2 years old and hitting the gym to build up strength, hopefully they'll inherit my sporting prowess over my academic ability.
A lot of private schools will offer part scholarship as well.
Whatever ever you are thinking, feel free to speak to us to set up a plan. Now is the time to do it if it's on the cards.

Matt and Lynn walked out the front door for their evening walk. If they knew this would be the last time they would see their son Scott alive they would have said something more insightful then, "Be back soon."
Scott opened the door when he heard keys jingling outside. What greeted him on the porch wasn't human. Its movement was quick, engulfing Scott's body in one brisk swoop. His Converse stood at the threshold with severed feet twitching inside.
Later, Matt and Lynn stumbled back, tripping over shoes.
Lazy kid.
Before they reached the bedroom they heard a jingle out-front.

You won't find Nora Macario's four children sitting around indoors, eyes glued to a phone or TV screen. They spend most of their free time playing outdoors at Grand Rapids Plaster Creek Park. While all of the planned improvements won't be finished until November, the playground equipment is installed — although adults may not recognize it. Built from downed and diseased trees that the City had to remove, the timber structures could pass as winning ArtPrize sculptures.
"My kids love being in the park. They are here all the time," Macario says. She's especially excited about the new Burton Elementary and Middle Schools' outdoor classroom that her kids will have access to during the school day. "It's amazing! I think it will be a great experience for the kids. And, it's a great experience for my kids to grow in Grand Rapids Public Schools. They have great opportunity."
As Macario shared her enthusiasm for the project, a dainty brown dragonfly, hatched in the park's marshes, landed on the interviewer's notebook, as if to say it totally agreed.
Macario was one of a large crowd of community members, Burton School students, media, and City of Grand Rapids and Grand Rapids Public Schools (GRPS) staff attending the September 17 "Sneak Peek" at the park. Other updates in the works include a sprawling rain garden, a native meadow, and the outdoor classroom, dubbed "The Nest." Grand Rapids mayor, Rosalynn Bliss, city manager Mark Washington, Grand Rapids Board of Education President Kristian Grant, and others at the podium all gave credit to collaborations among the City, schools, community members, and private funders.
"What a beautiful space! I love this," Bliss exclaimed. "This may become my favorite park. It's an example of what happens when we all come together."
Players in the project include GRPS, City of Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation and Environmental Services departments, the Wege Foundation, and the Children and Nature Network. In addition to providing aesthetic and educational opportunities, the rain garden will serve as an important infrastructure for handling stormwater runoff. Community members in the neighborhood took part in the park's planning process while residents across the City made it possible by passing the 2013 dedicated parks millage proposal.
"The innovation and leadership that Grand Rapids is showing around their schoolyard parks is Parks and Recreation, the City, and Grand Rapids Public Schools working together to increase park access and outdoor learning opportunities," says Jaime Zaplatosch, director of the Children & Nature Network's Green Schoolyards for Healthy Communities initiative. "The only other city I know of in the country where parks and rec is involved as such a key partner is in Austin, Texas. Regarding outdoor learning, the GREEN initiative — to make sure every student in every grade in GRPS is exposed to environmental education — is really innovative as well."
The Children & Nature Network ascribes to the belief that "Nature has the power to make children healthier, happier and smarter." As kids today spend more and more time indoors, they are becoming disconnected from nature, a trend that profoundly impacts not only their health and development, but also the future of the planet.
"Getting outside to learn and play during the school day supports learning and attention — even when back in the classroom," Zaplatosch says. "Students and teachers are more motivated in an outdoor learning environment and academic outcomes are increased."

A woman was injured after attending an event at the famous Floridan Palace Hotel in downtown Tampa. The woman was standing on the sidewalk outside the hotel when a piece of masonry broke off the hotel wall three stories above the ground and struck her. The woman was hospitalized because of her injuries.
The Floridan was built in 1927. It closed in the 1990's, and remained empty for many years. It was remodeled and re-opened a few years ago.
A similar thing happened at a hotel in Miami Beach a number of years ago, when a guest walked out the door of the hotel and was struck on the head with a falling object.
Our office has handled many claims on behalf of people who were injured in Florida hotels or resorts. Many claims involve falls in the hotel, elevator or escalator injuries, swimming pool accidents, injuries in a parking lot, or food related illnesses. If you or a loved one were injured in a hotel or resort in Florida, we would be happy to discuss the issues with you. We offer a free consultation. Steven Meyer is a board certified expert in handling civil trial cases, which includes personal injury cases. Please give us a call.

**We will add to this list in the coming weeks.
This Past Week
In reading, we worked on reading actively and not passively. We practice identifying when an author wants us to envision our stories or to list important details. It is important to understand as a reader of anything - fiction or informational - that we should respect the author's flow. It allows us to process the information in deeper ways. We are also carrying this concept into our own writing and allowing our readers to process our information the same way.
In math, we worked with elapsed time and exploring mass this week. We looked at the length of daylight for the months of August and September and we calculated how long the sun was shining each day. This was a wonderful way to practice our skills for elapsed time. Plus, we noticed some pretty neat patterns in our year - a concept we will build on in fourth grade.
In writing, we worked on creating strong beginnings, or open doors, for our readers. We also watch a Pixar short film to see how movies, books and writing are similar! They all have captivating beginnings, exciting climaxes and thoughtful closings.
In science, we have bean exploring been seeds and their life cycle. We assessed on Friday; however, a few need a bit more time on Monday. Those assessments will go home Wednesday of this week.
Coming Up Next Week:
Next week, we are looking for normal - or at least a bit more routine.
Specifically in each subject we will be getting into the following:
- Math: We will review Monday and Tuesday and test Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will be for reflecting on our test and making goals to move forward.
- Reading: We will work on checking our comprehension of our stories. Retelling is a huge skill to tackle this first quarter.
- Science: We will continue to watch our seed experiments; however, we will add a new life to our life cycle study - crayfish! I cannot wait to connect our understanding of living organisms and life cycles to our newest friends. I am sure your child will have some fun stories to share soon.
Next Week's Mentor Sentence
The first drops plop down big, making dust dance all around us.
~Come On, Rain!
*We will work the concept of vivid verbs - again. It is such a key lesson for writing to show and not tell.
Words List for Next Week: Irregular Verbs
This week, we will connect into that conversation and look at those irregular verbs for past tense situations.
Our sort this week will have both the present tense form and the past tense form:
- come -> came
- have -> had
- make -> made
- sit -> sat
- give -> gave
- get -> got
- tell -> told
- find -> found
- take -> took
- think -> thought
- say -> said
- go -> went
- let** This is our oddball for the week. It will not change for past or present form.
Upcoming Dates
September 18 - 1st & 3rd Grade Vision Screening
September 19 - Unit 1 Math Test
September 26 - Jog-A-Thon
October 3rd (afternoon) & 4th (afternoon/evening) - Student Conferences/E-Day

First Wind-Solar Hybrid Streetlight Installed In Caribbean
The very first renewable hybrid streetlight is to be installed in the Caribbean island country of Grenada by Irish company airsynergy's wind and solar powered off-grid Remote Power Unit (RPU).
The hybrid streetlight made history following a collaborative pilot project between New York-based Aris Wind — the company licensed to sell airsynergy products in the US and the Caribbean — and local Caribbean operator Grenlec Utilities.
Gerry Ryan, CEO of Aris Wind, said: "As we sought demonstration sites, end users and partners throughout the Caribbean Islands, Grenada's strong wind and sun resource made it a perfect place to start our Caribbean launch and we are delighted that Grenlec Utilities embraced the project."
The streetlight is positioned at the highest traffic area on the island at an area known as the Sugar Mill Roundabout — a key intersection that opens all traffic to and from the airport and the university to the center of St George's and the business district. "This is really the ideal location to allow people to see it and talk about it," explained Ryan.
The off grid RPU powers an 80-watt LED bulb with inbuilt battery storage lasting up to five days.
Once the preparation work in laying the foundation was set, the RPU was installed within a few hours as a result of tilt up tower technology that sees the entire unit lifted by a crane and slotted into position.
Ryan added: "Aris will propose additional off-grid hybrid street lights for the island and, when ready, the demonstration of our new Total Energy Solution (TES) – an advanced on or off grid wind/solar power generation unit with optional water harvesting to power homes and small businesses."

Black Valley Girls Discount
Take this deal for 41% off with our Black Valley Girls discount for $10.00 in savings.
- all exclusive
- dowload options
- full HD quality
- glamorous black beauties
- hardcore ebony babes
- high res pics
Looking for a hot new take on your favorite ebony/ivory hardcore? Then take a look at our discount to Black Valley Girls, where sumptuous ebony babes try out the 'white meat' for a change. Black Valley Girls is a brand new site, launched in late 2017. As such, the content offering on blackvalleygirls.com is still rather modest – but – what's there is definitely going to excite fans of this niche.
You're looking at professional production values and hot 'reality style' porn that puts the most beautiful black ladies in the business into all kinds of hot and sexy scenarios. Sometimes you get white boyfriends who get busted for cheating with their luscious black babe – sometimes you get black lesbians. And on Black Valley Girls, you'll also see interracial scenes, threesomes, more "sneaky sex," or outright cuckolding too. No matter who does the fucking though, it's guaranteed to be hot on account of the exquisite black babes they cast.
And speaking of 'babes', all Black Valley Girl movies feature a privileged or "spoiled" and incredibly hot ebony princess who wants nothing more than to cum on a white dick. This is by no means another 'ghetto booty' kind of site, so you can expect some really glamorous and good-looking black girls who are finally getting the porn treatment they deserve in the interracial niche vs. the usual stuff that can appear degrading at times. Not so on Black Valley Girls where the emphasis is on pleasing these dark skinned babes and seeing them satisfied. What will the neighbors say? Well, that's half the fun if you live in 'Black Valley'!
All content on Black Valley Girls is 100% exclusive and original. Movies are available to stream or download in full high definition (1080), but mobile-friendly resolutions are also available too. Additionally, movies also come with an accompanying photo gallery, and you can download all high res photos in the set conveniently as a zip file.
They update Black Valley Girls somewhat slowly though – so you're going to have to wait two weeks for new action. We're hoping this will change as they continue to iron out the non-kinky 'kinks' of being a new site, however.
And in any case, if you love looking at feminine and glamorous black beauties and love watching them ride white dicks or get nasty with each other even, then this cheap porn deal to Black Valley Girls is worth taking advantage of.

The Gobblewonker is a legendary lake monster that is thought to live at the bottom of Lake Gravity Falls. In the episode "The Legend of the Gobblewonker," Dipper, Mabel and Soos embark on a mission to get proof of the legendary lake monster in order to win $500 for the monster photo contest.
The Gobblewonker is first mentioned when Grunkle Stan takes Dipper and Mabel to Gravity Falls Lake for some "family bonding time". Old Man McGucket runs into the pier, warning everyone that he's seen the Gravity Falls Gobblewonker, to which the gathered crowd reacts with skepticism. He also says that he has 'proof this time', which means he (or perhaps others) have tried to prove the Gobblewonker's existence before .
After Dipper, Mabel and Soos are chased by the monster into a cave, where it crashes and short-circuits, it is revealed that the Gobblewonker is actually a robot built by Old Man McGucket, who often creates extremely dangerous and destructive robots when he feels neglected or sad. The Gobblewonker robot in particular was due to being neglected and ignored by his son.
However, it is revealed that the lake does house a real Gobblewonker. The real lake monster is shown swimming at the bottom of the lake at the end of the episode, where promptly swallows Dipper's last camera.
In "Headhunters," a part of the Gobblewonker robot can be seen as scrap metal behind Old Man McGucket in the Gravity Falls Junkyard.
During Dipper's "Voice Over" story in "Bottomless Pit!", he encounters Old Man McGucket in the junkyard and mentions the robot Gobblewonker, remembering how McGucket chased him, Mable and Soos with it.
In "Society of the Blind Eye," when the memories removed from McGucket are played back, the recording of "day 273" of the memory gun experiment features him saying that he saw "something big" at the lake. It's likely that he saw the real Gobblewonker, which explains the resemblance between the monster and the robot replica that the old man created years later.
In "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls," the head and neck of the Gobblewonker robot are incorporated into the Shacktron.
The Gobblewonker was described by Old Man McGucket as having a long neck like a giraffe, and wrinkly skin like Grunkle Stan. The real Gobblewonker, seen at the end of the episode, does have a long neck, but it has green, scaly skin. Its eyes are dark green and its lower jaw overlaps its upper jaw. It has two tusks along with other sharp teeth, and its head has two fish hooks stuck in it, one on its nostril, and one just above its eye. It has short legs with webbed feet and its tail has a fin like a fish. It has a long mane like a horse's that runs all the way down its back.

1. Portion Control
7. Be Kind To Yourself
We hate when we hear Personal Trainers advise their clients to not "make room for mistakes" or "don't let one slip up ruin their day" . While they have good intentions they can set the client up for failure by merely saying consuming certain foods are a "mistake" or "slip up" – in this case there is always guilt associated with eating them. LOSE THE GUILT!! Accept that during the holiday season you will most likely ENJOY (IF you're going to eat it you might as well enjoy it!) foods that you normally wouldn't eat year round and even more likely foods that aren't doing any favors for you health wise. BUT this is the festive season– so if you want a bit of Christmas Pudding– have it (just not every day), want a mince pie? Well have that too, just don't overdo it and save those less than healthy snacks & foods for the parties and the get together not the times that you are running around starving and reaching for whatever food you can find or eating out of boredom!

Two co-workers each drove a beat up, 1996 blue Dodge Neon. Day after day, they would stand together looking out the window at their cars and complain. "Ugh, the paint is chipped." "It just does not accelerate like is should." "I've been missing the left front hubcap for years."
Finally, one turned to the other and said, "We need to stop complaining, and make a change. It is time for something different!" They agreed that tomorrow, they would be driving something different.
As the two pulled up the next day, one was driving a brand new Corvette. The other was driving a green 1996 Dodge Neon. The coworker in the Neon said, "When you said different, you really meant it!"
The Corvette driver looked over the green Neon and said, "Why just go for different, when you can go for better?"
While reading Chapter 1 of Innovators Mindset, I was struck by the idea George Couros shares near the close:
I must say, while I love the concept of growth mindset and continual improvement, I feel we must take caution to not just engage in change for change's sake. Why replace an old car with the same model but a different color when you can upgrade? In education, why make a change if the change is only superficial. Below are some things I think we need to keep in mind when seeking "different" so that we do more than change, we innovate and improve.
Classroom Design
When I set out to redesign my classroom this year, at first, I simply focused on the aesthetic. Flexible seating, new lighting, coffee smells. But I soon realized that I was trading a blue neon for a green Neon unless I changed the fundamental culture of my class. So I kept the aesthetic change, and also re-evaluated and redesigned my instruction. The flexible seating is just a color shift if it is not accompanied by flexible and student led instruction. I am reading lots of articles about classroom redesign, specifically the coffee house style. But often, it is just about the seats, not about the instruction. My classroom looks like a coffeehouse, and my instruction- and the student facilitated instruction, looks like a book study group that meets at our local coffee house. The two are connected.
Innovative thinking ties the atmosphere of the room to learning that occurs there.
Student Engagement
We all want our students to speak up in class. A difference would be taking a plan to call on each student once a week. An innovation would be to give the students the floor everyday. Student facilitated discussion has proven to be POWERFUL in my classes. Students get the first 10-15 (or 20) minutes of class to cover current events related to the content, or to review the content, with one student facilitating. Students are more readily engaged because they are talking to a peer. I simply monitor and record student contributions.
Innovative thinking lets students develop their voice by giving them a chance to use it freely.
Group assignments. Love them or hate them, they can be great tools for student assessment. Difference thinking either lets students pick their group, or assigns it. Either change may be great for your class, but true collaboration comes when students are not just working together on group projects, they are working together to learn the material in instruction. When students are challenging each other's contributions, giving reflections and critiques on comments and work, then collaboration moves beyond "group work" into "group learning." I have long used peer feedback as a way to increase collaboration in my debate classes, but now I am moving it into my Sociology and Psychology classes. When groups present, questions and suggestions are EXPECTED from the rest of the class. And that is just the beginning. That student facilitated discussion- that doubles as collaboration. Students working together to understand and push each other forward.
Innovative thinking works to create a collaborative environment in instruction, not just work products.
So, the question is- do you want different, or do you want innovation?

Greta examples of different and better both inside and outside the classroom. Thank you for sharing! I agree that we must remember that change for change sake is not necessarily creating a positive impact on student learning or instructional practice.

25+ Best Distributed Systems Interview Questions & Answers
If you are looking for distributed systems interview questions and answers, look no further. Our team has put together the absolute best resource for you to prepare as a software engineer. As software organizations grow in size and serve larger and larger user bases, distributed computing is an important concept for designing systems that can scale with their requirements. Most highly scaled applications like Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, or Twitter rely heavily on distributed computing to make sure their applications are reliable, available, and performant. Because it is such an integral part of application system design, interview questions about distributed computing are central to many engineering and DevOps hiring processes; especially those at the Senior Engineer or Architect level.
What is Distributed Systems?
A distributed system is essentially a group of independent computers that are linked together by a single network. These groups of computers work together to appear as a single computer to the end user.
These computers have a shared state and operate concurrently. They can fail independently without affecting the entire system's uptime, making distributed systems architecture a sort of failsafe.
Preparing For Your Interview With This Guide
The questions below are meant to assess a candidate's practical understanding of the benefits distributed computing provides to large scale applications, and how some of these concepts are applied in a typical engineering organization.
27 Best Distributed Systems Interview Questions & Answers
1. What is distributed computing? Give a real-world example of distributed computing and why it qualifies.
Distributed computing is the use of distributed systems in computer science, which describes any system made up of components which operate on different computers which are networked together.
A Blockchain system like the Bitcoin cryptocurrency is one example of a distributed system. In a traditional banking system, the ledger of all of the existing credits and debits exist on a centralized computer owned by the bank. A cryptocurrency uses blockchain to maintain a distributed ledger which exists on many different computers at once. Whenever a credit or debit is written to the ledger, it is written on every copy of the cryptocurrency's ledger in the blockchain.
2. What are microservices in an application? How is an application built using microservices different than a monolithic application?
Microservices are small applications, usually running on their own infrastructure or within a virtual machine, which is responsible for one segment of a larger application's business requirements. A microservice may have various software components like its own processing, memory, data storage, and its own APIs.
Imagine the opposite; a monolithic application which exists on one centralized piece of infrastructure. Our imaginary monolithic application is responsible for all or most of the application's business requirements. For example, looking at the database models of our imaginary application a developer would likely see references to multiple entities in the system. e.g. Users, Organizations, Surveys, Subscriptions, and Teams. Our monolithic application exposes a large REST API, where clients can interact with any of these entities.
There are many ways to build a microservice architecture, but breaking such an application into microservices might commonly look like a separate application for each of the entities each of which may run on its own set of separate infrastructure. An entirely separate application can be built, for example, Users Application, Surveys Application, Subscriptions Application, and Teams Application, each of which exposes its own smaller REST API for interacting with the separate entities.
3. How do components communicate in a distributed system?
Components in a distributed system communicate via message passing. Message passing means that each component in the distributed system has a contract which defines what sorts of messages it is able to receive and interpret, and what sorts of messages it will give as responses. Documenting these contracts for each component is important because people working on one component gain the ability to interact with the wider system by following the contract. A team responsible for the inner operations of two different components of the distributed system can work "safely", so long as they do not change the contract of their microservice.
4. What is a way that two components in a distributed system might pass messages?
A common way for components in a distributed application to communicate is via HTTP. HTTP is the protocol your web browser uses to send data to and from web-pages on the internet. Within a distributed application, different servers can use HTTP similarly to communicate information amongst themselves and bring a full application piece of software to life. RESTful APIs are one common specification for how message passing can be accomplished between components in a web application.
There are other protocols that can achieve message passing between components, for example, Thrift and GRPC accomplish message fasting with higher throughput and without the use of HTTP. This makes them potentially good options for applications where the amount of traffic and communication between components is expected to be very high.
5. Describe one of the primary differences between parallel computing and distributed computing?
A major difference between parallel computing and distributed computing is that in a parallel computing system each component of the system has access to shared memory. In distributed computing, there is no shared memory and each component must communicate information about its internal state via message passing.
6. Imagine you have a microservices architecture where one microservice is responsible for Users and a separate microservice is responsible for Wallets. These microservices use REST to communicate. While working on a requirement, an engineer on your team recommends the use of transactions so that: 1) when a User is created, a corresponding Wallet must be created 2) if the creation of the Wallet fails, the creation of the User should be rolled back to prevent incomplete data. What is the main issue with this solution?
In order for the User creation to roll back in case the Wallet creation later fails, the User microservice must keep some information about the current state of the Wallet service in its memory. Since RESTful APls are meant to remain stateless by definition, the use of transactions breaks the specification.
7. In the scenario described in (6), what is one way you might accomplish a similar behavior?
The concept of eventual consistency could be useful for this problem. Eventual consistency means that after some amount of time N, the entire distributed system will be in its correct state. For example, if the Wallet creation were to fail after the User creation, at time (N-1) the User creation will not have been rolled back; however, at time N the creation will have been rolled back. To accomplish this, individual microservices can publish events to a message queue, and other services can monitor the message queue to invoke business logic for operations like User and Wallet creation. In our case, for example, one naive architecture might be that the User service publishes "User created" messages to a message queue that the Wallet service later reads to invoke its own creation process. The Wallet ←→ User relationship will be eventually consistent.
8. What is a load balancer? Describe why load balancing is an important piece of many distributed systems.
A load balancer works to spread traffic across a number of different servers in order to make applications more responsive and available. For example, imagine 1 million users make requests to your application simultaneously. By putting a load balancer between your application and the users who are making requests, you can gain the benefit of having redundant versions of your application running on separate machines. If you had 5 machines running your application, the load balancer might send 200,000 of the 1,000,000 requests to each of the 5 machines, rather than having all of the requests processed by one machine.
A load balancer can also keep track of the status of the various machines running in your distributed system. For example, if a server fails and is not responding to requests (or perhaps it is responding with more errors than the other servers), the load balancer can stop sending a request to that particular server. Depending on the configuration, a load balancer might be responsible for spinning up new servers to handle more traffic, or for killing & replaces servers which seem to have failed.
Load balancing is important because it is an effective tool for keeping an application high availability. Even if there is a power outage and some computers in your distributed system are not available, a load balancer combined with duplicate instances of your application can ensure your application is still available for users.
10. How can distributed computing help large software teams be productive or organized?
Using distributed computing can be useful for large software teams, because the larger team can be organized into smaller units while reducing the risk that any given team introduces breaking changes to the wider system. Because distributed systems rely on message passing to communicate, and focus on high availability and performance of individual components, smaller teams can define a set of abstractions for only their part of the system. For example, the Surveys team and the Users team might define their own REST APIs for communicating with their respective components. Once these abstractions are defined, team members need to be less concerned about their changes impacting other pieces of the software. As long as the abstractions they have defined for their components do not change (e.g. you always retrieve a list of users from the GET /api/v2/users REST endpoint), the internal business logic can be changed with a low amount of risk.
11. What is fault tolerance in the context of a distributed system?
Fault tolerance describes the distributed system's ability to continue to function in the event of a partial failure. Faults are most often caused by hardware or software problems, or by malicious actors. Analyzing and increasing the fault tolerance of a distributed system involves solving for these factors.
12. How can data replication help improve the fault tolerance of a distributed system?
Data replication is the storage of replica data sets at a number of locations that can be interchangeably accessed by the application. If one data source encounters a hardware or software problem, the replica data set can be accessed quickly, leading to little risk of downtime for users. This increases the availability of the application thereby making it more fault tolerant.
13. What exactly is a distributed system?
A distributed system is a collection of independent computers linked together by a network. They appear to their end users as a single coherent system. In a distributed system, components located within the network communicate and organize their actions by passing messages.
14. What are the characteristics of a distributed system?
Distributed systems have a handful of core differentiating characteristics. In such a system, programs are executed concurrently, there is no global time, and components can fail independently without causing a full system failure or crash.
15. What are some examples of distributed systems used today?
Some examples include the Internet, intranets, and mobile or ubiquitous computing.
16. What are some disadvantages of distributed systems?
No system architecture is perfect, so distributes systems definitely have their downfalls. Downfalls of developing distributed software include networking problems and security problems, though a good team of technicians and developers can usually tackle common issues quickly and efficiently.
17. What are the main differences between mobile and ubiquitous computing?
Mobile computing has a unique advantage when using different devices, such as mobile devices, laptops, and printers. Ubiquitous computing is used in a single environment, such as at home or in hospitals.
18. Why do we need openness?
The degree to which a complex computer system can be extended and re-implemented depends on openness.
19. What are so security mechanisms that are used in distributed computing?
There are several security mechanisms used, including encryption, authentication (passwords, public key authentication, etc.), and authorization (access control lists.)
20. How does one provide security through a distributed system?
Confidentiality can be implemented by utilizing protection against disclosure to unauthorized individuals, such as access control lists that provide authorized access to sensitive information. The integrity of the system can be improved by implementing protection against alternation or corruption. Availability, or protection against interference targeting access to the resources, can be implemented as well to block denial of service (DoS) attacks.
Proof of sending and receiving information can be established through the use of digital signatures.
21. What is scalability?
A distributed system should work efficiently at a range of different scales, from a small Intranet to the whole Internet. There are some challenges in designing scalable distributed systems, which include the cost of physical resources, problems getting the cost to linearly increase with system size, and performance loss. These challenges can take some work to tackle and often require a team.
22. What are the different types of system models?
Architecture model, fundamental model, interaction model, failure model, and security model.
23. Why is Middleware used in a distributed system?
Middleware is essentially a layer of software with the sole purposes of masking heterogeneity and providing a convenient and usable programming model to application programmers and developers. Middleware is represented by processes and objects in a set of computers that interact with each other in order to implement communication and resource sharing support for distributed applications in the system.
24. What is protocol?
By definition, a protocol is used to refer to a common set of rules and formats that are used for communication between processes in order to perform a specific task.
The definition of a protocol has two vital parts to it: A specification of the sequence of communicative messages that must be exchanged, and a specification in the format of the data in the messages.
25. What is mobile and ubiquitous computing?
Mobile and ubiquitous computing are examples of a distributed system. In mobile computing, computing devices are being carried around and are portable. In ubiquitous computing, small systems are established in a stationary fashion.
26. What are some challenges developers and technicians will usually face when developing and implementing a distributed system?
Some challenges include heterogeneity, openness, security, scalability, failure handling (which is usually the first thing tackled as failure prevention is the main benefit of distributed systems), concurrency, and transparency.
27. What are the main advantages of a distributed system?
In the context of a distributed system for a business, some advantages include improved performance, distribution, reliability (such as fault tolerance), incremental growth over time, simple sharing of data and resources, and improved communication throughout the system.
