Technical Aspects: Engine Classification
Modified On Apr 06, 2016 07:24 PM By Sahib
Engines are classified under different categories based on number of strokes, number of cylinders, orientation of cylinders, type of ignition, type of fuel injection etc. Various types of engine and their technical aspects are discussed below:
Based on number of strokes:
1. Two Stroke Engine:
Two-stroke engine is light in weight with higher power-to-weight ratio as compare to four stroke engine. It produces power stroke after each revolution of the crankshaft.
First stroke: Piston moves up to compress the air/fuel mixture, at the same time intake port is opened which allows fresh mixture to move in the lower part of crankcase. Transfer port helps in moving this fresh mixture from the lower portion to the top of the piston.
Second stroke: This stroke is a combination of power and exhaust strokes.The piston moves down after power stroke, opening the exhaust port at the same time to move burnt gases out of the combustion space.
2. Four Stroke Engine:
The four strokes involved are intake, compression, combustion (power) and exhaust. Four-stroke engine takes two revolutions of crankshaft to produce power.
Intake stroke: The piston moves from the top of the cylinder to the bottom of the cylinder. The intake valve opens and pressure difference forces air/fuel mixture to move from intake manifold to the combustion chamber.
Compression stroke: During this stroke, both intake and exhaust valves remain closed & the piston returns to top of the cylinder, compressing the fuel-air mixture to a great extent. In case of CI engine, only air is compressed.
Power stroke: When the air/fuel mixture is compressed to the full extent possible, spark plug fires and mixture undergoes combustion process. The resultant burnt gases forces the piston to move down with a speed which further rotates the crankshaft. In case of CI engine, there is no spark plug, only fuel is injected at high pressure by injectors into the compressed hot air and combustion takes place.
Exhaust stroke: In this stroke, the piston again moves up towards top of the cylinder while the exhaust valve is open. This action forces most of the burnt gases out of the combustion chamber while remaining burnt gases escape by their own expansion.
Based on type of ignition:
1. SI Engine (SPARK IGNITION):
In this type of engine, ignition takes place with the help of an electric spark provided by a spark plug. It usually has low compression ratio (degree upto which the air-fuel mixture is compressed within engine cylinder) due to which maximum efficiency is lower. Petrol or Gasoline Vehicles are sparking ignition engines.
2. CI Engine (COMPRESSION IGNITION):
In this type of engine, ignition takes place by means of heat generated by the compressed air inside the cylinder. These engines do not have spark plug. Right amount of pressurized fuel is injected though fuel injectors. These engines have comparatively higher efficiency due to higher compression ratio.
Based on type of fuel injection:
1. Direct Injection (DI):
This process involves the injection of fuel directly into the combustion chamber which inside the cylinder. It is an efficient way with less emissions but sound levels and vibrations are higher. This technique is commonly used in modern diesel engines.
2. Indirect Injection (IDI):
In this type of injection, fuel is injected into a pre-combustion chamber that is connected to the main combustion chamber by a narrow opening. The initial combustion takes place in this pre-combustion chamber then spreads to the main combustion chamber, thus slowing the burning process. It leads to less vibrations and noise coming out of an engine.
Based on Orientation of cylinders:
1. In-line Engine:
These engines have cylinders/pistons arranged in a straight line. This engine design is very simple with just one cylinder head and fewer moving parts.
2. V Engine:
In V engine, the cylinders are arranged in two banks set at an angle to one another (usually 60 or 900) and are attached to single crankshaft.
3. VR Engine:
The design of VR engine is very much similar to its parent V engine but the angle between two banks of cylinder is reduced from 60° to 15° so that lesser space is needed.
4. W Engine:
W engines involve a combination of two "VR banks" arranged at an angle of 72° (90° in some cases). The cylinders of one VR bank have an angle of 15° relative to each other. So overall a very efficient design to have large number of cylinders in such a smaller space.
5. Boxer Engine:
In this engine, pistons are placed horizontally on the opposite sides of the crankshaft. Very compact design as overall height of engine is significantly low. This leads to lower center of gravity that would provide better handling and performance.
6. Radial Engine:
In this engine, pistons are arranged radially in such a way that their connecting rods coupled to a central crankshaft. This configuration is generally deployed in aircraft engines and power generators.

Merrell Launches M-Connect
Barefoot runners rejoice, Merrell has announced it will greatly expand its athletic department with M-Connect, a new footwear series built to connect the outdoor athlete to a full range of activities. M-Connect includes four collections: the Mix Master Trail, Proterra Light Hiker, and upgraded versions of the flagship Road Glove and Bare Access prototypes.
Deemed the "intelligent evolution of barefoot," M-Connect extends beyond road and trail running. The new series provides fast and responsive design that enables runners to enjoy the benefits of minimalist footwear inside the gym and up steeper hiking trails. For example, the Proterra Hiker, arguably the boldest of the pack, gives greater stability on rugged trails with enhanced cushioning and a large arch.
M-Connect comes a response to the ever-increasing cohort of barefoot runners and Merrell's vision to expand the technology to new audiences. By aligning the technology with terrain, Merrell invites serious hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts to make barefoot a part of their athletic experience. The series will also likely infiltrate Merrell's loyal following of road runners who may want a different shoe to take on new challenges.
M-Connect expects full launch for the Spring 2013 season.

Dense fog limits visibility in Ball State football loss to Toledo
Eyes strained to see across the field, the ball almost disappearing when a pass or punt lifted it into the fog.
It was as if the crowd of 16,826 all exhaled at once in the cold air. But the fog was so thick, the plumes of breath just blended in.
Head coach Mike Neu downplayed the weather in Ball State's 37-19 loss at Toledo.
Team leaders
Riley Neal: 260 passing yards, 85 rushing yards, 2 passing TD
Damon Hazelton Jr.: 12 catches, 102 yards, 1 rushing TD
Sean Wiggins: 14 tackles (12 solo), 2 tackles for loss
"The issue with play-calling more than any is down the field — can the receivers track the ball down the field?" Neu said. "Obviously in the return game it makes it tough on the punt returner, the kick returner to locate the ball. But I was proud of our guys not letting this become a problem."
In the box score, the passing numbers were still there. Sophomore quarterback Riley Neal threw for 260 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, and Toledo junior Logan Woodside passed for 325 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
But a lot of those yards came after the catch, like when Toledo senior running back Kareem Hunt took a swing pass near the line of scrimmage for a 71-yard touchdown.
Leading the Cardinals with 12 receptions and 102 yards, freshman wide receiver Damon Hazelton Jr.'s longest reception was for just 15 yards.
"This is crazy," Hazelton said. "I've never played in an environment like this before. The fog was crazy, it was definitely crazy, but I just did my best to track the ball."
Hazelton also scored a touchdown with 3:46 left in the game. He lined up split to the left, standing near the numbers with the ball on Toledo's 11 yard-line. He ran a fade route to the end zone and jumped to catch a back-shoulder throw from Neal.
Ball State went for the two-point conversion, and Hazelton ran the same route. He didn't come down with it, but Neu said the 6-foot-2 receiver is well-suited for those plays.
"He's earned the trust of the quarterback in that situation," Neu said. "Damon's one of those guys that you see that in practice from him every day, so you have the confidence to call that in the game."
On defense, the Cardinals had a tough time as well. Toledo added 179 rushing yards to its passing total for 504 offensive yards.
Senior linebacker Sean Wiggins led Ball State with 14 tackles and added two for a loss.
"This is bad," senior linebacker Sean Wiggins said. "I mean, you turn around and you can't see the bleachers and see anybody. So it's hard for everybody, I'm sure it's harder for wide receivers and cornerbacks. Linebacker it's kind of easy, you just tackle the guy with the football. But looking to the sidelines and stuff, it was a little difficult.
The view from the bleachers, however, was a little different. Though he's not a Ball State student or alumnus, Zach Prokes, 21, drove down to from Michigan to watch his friend, sophomore offensive lineman Alex Joss.
"It's a little tough to see up here," Prokes said. "I imagine it's tougher to see the ball for the players, but we've been able to watch him — unless they get to the opposite sideline."
But not one of the 16,826 people in the stands could do anything to get rid of the fog, and neither could anyone on the field.
"It's one of those things you have to deal with," Neu said. "Nobody can see this coming, but it certainly made this a unique night to say the least."

The Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG
Having presented at the 2013 New York Show, the brand new Mercedes-Benz AMG turns out to be quite a staggering of automotive industry. You've guessed already that is the powerful version of the CLA-Class and, even though it a small engine, it packs a punch.
In fact, the 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine its bonnet is able to deliver a 360 HP at 6,000 RPM and 450 Nm of torque between RPM – quite respectable from an able to hold as much as a bottle of coke. Therefore, been fitted with top notch parts, more come down the alley – the AMG is able to sprint from 0 to 62 mph km/h) in just 4.6 seconds and on to an limited top speed of 155 mph (250 The fuel consumption is staggeringly which comes as another to this superb car, the AMG averaging around 6.9 – 7.1 l/100 km UK mpg) combined and CO2 emissions
According to Mercedes-Benz officials, the engine under the bonnet of the AMG is the most powerful series-production engine in the world. They quite right to be honest – the Mitsubishi Evo FQ400, which, a similar engine, draws a 400 HP. Well, there are even similarities between the two, the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. first thought of the CLA45 AMG as a car to join the rally world, but we saw the transmission, our heads got completely – this car will not be available manual gearbox. Outrageous indeed, as it will only be with an AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-Speed transmission only. Why. need answers for that!
The engine of this gorgeous car spray-guided direct petrol through piezo injectors, crank assembly with steel crankshaft and forged with friction-optimized piston NANOSLIDE cylinder wall turbocharger that generates pressure of 1.8 bar, air-water air cooling, generator management and ECO function and a gravity-die sandcast crankcase.

He lifts her up and she stretches her arms as wide as they can go, giving her broad-shouldered Papa a baby bear hug.
He kicks off his shoes, hopping first on one leg and then the other, and she squeals with delight.
He asks her about her day, and she responds excitedly with a string of baby words.
He puts her down; she grabs his finger and drags him off to show him a toy, a book, a cushion, the remote - whatever her treasure of the day is.
When he heads off to change and shower, she stands outside the bathroom door calling out to him. As soon as he comes out, she demands to be picked up again.

How to troubleshoot Azure Cache for Redis
This article provides guidance for troubleshooting the following categories of Azure Cache for Redis issues.
- Client-side troubleshooting - This section provides guidelines on identifying and resolving issues caused by the application connecting to Azure Cache for Redis.
- Server-side troubleshooting - This section provides guidelines on identifying and resolving issues caused on the Azure Cache for Redis server side.
- StackExchange.Redis timeout exceptions - This section provides information on troubleshooting issues when using the StackExchange.Redis client.
Several of the troubleshooting steps in this guide include instructions to run Redis commands and monitor various performance metrics. For more information and instructions, see the articles in the Additional information section.
Client-side troubleshooting
This section discusses troubleshooting issues that occur because of a condition on the client application.
- Memory pressure on the client
- Burst of traffic
- High client CPU usage
- Client-Side Bandwidth Exceeded
- Large Request/Response Size
- What happened to my data in Redis?
Memory pressure on the client
Memory pressure on the client machine leads to all kinds of performance problems that can delay processing of data that was sent by the Redis instance without any delay. When memory pressure hits, the system typically has to page data from physical memory to virtual memory, which is on disk. This page faulting causes the system to slow down significantly.
- Monitor memory usage on machine to make sure that it does not exceed available memory.
- Monitor the
Page Faults/Secperformance counter. Most systems have some page faults even during normal operation, so watch for spikes in this page faults performance counter, which correspond with timeouts.
Upgrade your client to a larger client VM size with more memory or dig into your memory usage patterns to reduce memory consumption.
Burst of traffic
Bursts of traffic combined with poor
ThreadPool settings can result in delays in processing data already sent by the Redis Server but not yet consumed on the client side.
Monitor how your
ThreadPool statistics change over time using code like this. You can also look at the
TimeoutException message from StackExchange.Redis. Here is an example:
System.TimeoutException: Timeout performing EVAL, inst: 8, mgr: Inactive, queue: 0, qu: 0, qs: 0, qc: 0, wr: 0, wq: 0, in: 64221, ar: 0,
IOCP: (Busy=6,Free=999,Min=2,Max=1000), WORKER: (Busy=7,Free=8184,Min=2,Max=8191)
In the preceding message, there are several issues that are interesting:
- Notice that in the
IOCPsection and the
WORKERsection you have a
Busyvalue that is greater than the
Minvalue. This difference means that your
ThreadPoolsettings need adjusting.
- You can also see
in: 64221. This value indicates that 64,211 bytes have been received at the kernel socket layer but haven't yet been read by the application (for example, StackExchange.Redis). This difference typically means that your application isn't reading data from the network as quickly as the server is sending it to you.
Configure your ThreadPool Settings to make sure that your thread pool scales up quickly under burst scenarios.
High client CPU usage
High CPU usage on the client is an indication that the system cannot keep up with the work that it has been asked to perform. This situation means that the client may fail to process a response from Redis in a timely fashion even though Redis sent the response quickly.
Monitor the System Wide CPU usage through the Azure Portal or through the associated performance counter. Be careful not to monitor process CPU because a single process can have low CPU usage at the same time that overall system CPU can be high. Watch for spikes in CPU usage that correspond with timeouts. As a result of high CPU, you may also see high
in: XXX values in
TimeoutException error messages as described in the Burst of traffic section.
StackExchange.Redis 1.1.603 and later includes the
local-cpu metric in
TimeoutException error messages. Ensure you using the latest version of the StackExchange.Redis NuGet package. There are bugs constantly being fixed in the code to make it more robust to timeouts so having the latest version is important.
Upgrade to a larger VM size with more CPU capacity or investigate what is causing CPU spikes.
Client-side bandwidth exceeded
Depending on the architecture of client machines, they may have limitations on how much network bandwidth they have available. If the client exceeds the available bandwidth by overloading network capacity, then data is not processed on the client side as quickly as the server is sending it. This situation can lead to timeouts.
Monitor how your Bandwidth usage change over time using code like this. This code may not run successfully in some environments with restricted permissions (like Azure web sites).
Increase Client VM size or reduce network bandwidth consumption.
Large Request/Response Size
A large request/response can cause timeouts. As an example, Suppose your timeout value configured on your client is 1 second. Your application requests two keys (for example, 'A' and 'B') at the same time (using the same physical network connection). Most clients support "Pipelining" of requests, such that both requests 'A' and 'B' are sent on the wire to the server one after the other without waiting for the responses. The server sends the responses back in the same order. If response 'A' is large enough, it can eat up most of the timeout for subsequent requests.
The following example demonstrates this scenario. In this scenario, Request 'A' and 'B' are sent quickly, the server starts sending responses 'A' and 'B' quickly, but because of data transfer times, 'B' get stuck behind the other request and times out even though the server responded quickly.
|-------- 1 Second Timeout (A)----------|
|-Request A-|
|-------- 1 Second Timeout (B) ----------|
|-Request B-|
|- Read Response A --------|
|- Read Response B-| (**TIMEOUT**)
This request/response is a difficult one to measure. You basically have to instrument your client code to track large requests and responses.
- Redis is optimized for a large number of small values, rather than a few large values. The preferred solution is to break up your data into related smaller values. See the What is the ideal value size range for redis? Is 100 KB too large? post for details around why smaller values are recommended.
- Increase the size of your VM (for client and Azure Cache for Redis Server), to get higher bandwidth capabilities, reducing data transfer times for larger responses. Getting more bandwidth on just the server or just on the client may not be enough. Measure your bandwidth usage and compare it to the capabilities of the size of VM you currently have.
- Increase the number of
ConnectionMultiplexerobjects you use and round-robin requests over different connections.

Server side troubleshooting
This section discusses troubleshooting issues that occur because of a condition on the cache server.
Memory Pressure on the server
Memory pressure on the server side leads to all kinds of performance problems that can delay processing of requests. When memory pressure hits, the system typically has to page data from physical memory to virtual memory, which is on disk. This page faulting causes the system to slow down significantly. There are several possible causes of this memory pressure:
- You have filled the cache to full capacity with data.
- Redis is seeing high memory fragmentation - most often caused by storing large objects (Redis is optimized for a small objects - See the What is the ideal value size range for redis? Is 100 KB too large? post for details).
Redis exposes two metrics that can help you identify this issue. The first is
used_memory and the other is
used_memory_rss. These metrics are available in the Azure Portal or through the Redis INFO command.
There are several possible changes that you can make to help keep memory usage healthy:
- Configure a memory policy and set expiration times on your keys. This configuration may not be sufficient if you have fragmentation.
- Configure a maxmemory-reserved value that is large enough to compensate for memory fragmentation.
- Break up your large cached objects into smaller related objects.
- Scale to a larger cache size.
- If you are using a premium cache with Redis cluster enabled, you can increase the number of shards.
High CPU usage / Server Load
High CPU usage can mean that the client side can fail to process a response from Redis in a timely fashion even though Redis sent the response quickly.
Monitor the System Wide CPU usage through the Azure Portal or through the associated performance counter. Be careful not to monitor process CPU because a single process can have low CPU usage at the same time that overall system CPU can be high. Watch for spikes in CPU usage that correspond with timeouts.
- Review any advice and alerts mentioned in the Azure Cache for Redis Advisor.
- Also review the other recommendations in this topic, and Best Practices for Azure Redis to see if you have employed all options to further optimize your cache and your client.
- Review the Azure Cache for Redis performance charts and see if you may be near the upper thresholds of your current tier. If necessary, Scale to a larger cache tier with more CPU capacity. If you are using Premium tier already, you might want to scale out with clustering
Server Side Bandwidth Exceeded
Depending on the size of the cache instances, they may have limitations on how much network bandwidth they have available. If the server exceeds the available bandwidth, then data is not sent to the client as quickly. This situation can lead to timeouts.
You can monitor the
Cache Read metric, which is the amount of data read from the cache in Megabytes per second (MB/s) during the specified reporting interval. This value corresponds to the network bandwidth used by this cache. If you want to set up alerts for server-side network bandwidth limits, you can create them using this
Cache Read counter. Compare your readings with the values in this table for the observed bandwidth limits for various cache pricing tiers and sizes.
If you are consistently near the observed maximum bandwidth for your pricing tier and cache size, consider scaling to a pricing tier or size that has greater network bandwidth, using the values in this table as a guide.
StackExchange.Redis timeout exceptions
StackExchange.Redis uses a configuration setting named
synctimeout for synchronous operations, which have a default value of 1000 ms. If a synchronous call doesn't complete in the stipulated time, the StackExchange.Redis client throws a timeout error similar to the following example:
System.TimeoutException: Timeout performing MGET 2728cc84-58ae-406b-8ec8-3f962419f641, inst: 1,mgr: Inactive, queue: 73, qu=6, qs=67, qc=0, wr=1/1, in=0/0 IOCP: (Busy=6, Free=999, Min=2,Max=1000), WORKER (Busy=7,Free=8184,Min=2,Max=8191)
This error message contains metrics that can help point you to the cause and possible resolution of the issue. The following table contains details about the error message metrics.
|Error message metric
|In the last time slice: 0 commands have been issued
|The socket manager is performing
socket.select, which means it is asking the OS to indicate a socket that has something to do; basically: the reader is not actively reading from the network because it doesn't think there is anything to do
|There are 73 total in-progress operations
|6 of the in-progress operations are in the unsent queue and have not yet been written to the outbound network
|67 of the in-progress operations have been sent to the server but a response is not yet available. The response could be
Not yet sent by the server or
sent by the server but not yet processed by the client.
|0 of the in-progress operations have seen replies but have not yet been marked as complete due to waiting on the completion loop
|There is an active writer (meaning the 6 unsent requests are not being ignored) bytes/activewriters
|There are no active readers and zero bytes are available to be read on the NIC bytes/activereaders
Steps to investigate
As a best practice make sure, you are using the following pattern to connect when using the StackExchange.Redis client.
private static Lazy<ConnectionMultiplexer> lazyConnection = new Lazy<ConnectionMultiplexer>(() => { return ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("cachename.redis.cache.windows.net,abortConnect=false,ssl=true,password=..."); }); public static ConnectionMultiplexer Connection { get { return lazyConnection.Value; } }
For more information, see Connect to the cache using StackExchange.Redis.
Ensure that your Azure Cache for Redis and the client application are in the same region in Azure. For example, you might be getting timeouts when your cache is in East US but the client is in West US and the request doesn't complete within the
synctimeoutinterval or you might be getting timeouts when you are debugging from your local development machine.
It's highly recommended to have the cache and in the client in the same Azure region. If you have a scenario that includes cross region calls, you should set the
synctimeoutinterval to a value higher than the default 1000-ms interval by including a
synctimeoutproperty in the connection string. The following example shows a StackExchange.Azure Cache for Redis connection string snippet with a
synctimeoutof 2000 ms.
- Ensure you using the latest version of the StackExchange.Redis NuGet package. There are bugs constantly being fixed in the code to make it more robust to timeouts so having the latest version is important.
- If there are requests that are getting bound by bandwidth limitations on the server or client, it takes longer for them to complete and thereby cause timeouts. To see if your timeout is due to network bandwidth on the server, see Server side bandwidth exceeded. To see if your timeout is due to client network bandwidth, see Client-side bandwidth exceeded.
Are you getting CPU bound on the server or on the client?
- Check if you are getting bound by CPU on your client, which could cause the request to not be processed within the
synctimeoutinterval, thus causing a timeout. Moving to a larger client size or distributing the load can help to control this problem.
- Check if you are getting CPU bound on the server by monitoring the
CPUcache performance metric. Requests coming in while Redis is CPU bound can cause those requests to timeout. To address this condition, you can distribute the load across multiple shards in a premium cache, or upgrade to a larger size or pricing tier. For more information, see Server Side Bandwidth Exceeded.
- Check if you are getting bound by CPU on your client, which could cause the request to not be processed within the
Are there commands taking long time to process on the server? Long running commands that are taking long time to process on the redis-server can cause timeouts. Some examples of long running commands are
mgetwith large numbers of keys,
keys *or poorly written lua scripts. You can connect to your Azure Cache for Redis instance using the redis-cli client or use the Redis Console and run the SlowLog command to see if there are requests taking longer than expected. Redis Server and StackExchange.Redis are optimized for many small requests rather than fewer large requests. Splitting your data into smaller chunks may improve things here.
For information on connecting to the Azure Cache for Redis SSL endpoint using redis-cli and stunnel, see the Announcing ASP.NET Session State Provider for Redis Preview Release blog post. For more information, see SlowLog.
- High Redis server load can cause timeouts. You can monitor the server load by monitoring the
Redis Server Loadcache performance metric. A server load of 100 (maximum value) signifies that the redis server has been busy, with no idle time, processing requests. To see if certain requests are taking up all of the server capability, run the SlowLog command, as described in the previous paragraph. For more information, see High CPU usage / Server Load.
- Was there any other event on the client side that could have caused a network blip? Check on the client (web, worker role, or an IaaS VM) if there was an event like scaling the number of client instances up or down, or deploying a new version of the client or auto-scale is enabled?In our testing, we have found that autoscale or scaling up/down can cause outbound network connectivity can be lost for several seconds. StackExchange.Redis code is resilient to such events and reconnects. During this time of reconnecting, any requests in the queue can time out.
- Was there a big request preceding several small requests to the Azure Cache for Redis that timed out? The parameter
qsin the error message tells you how many requests were sent from the client to the server, but have not yet processed a response. This value can keep growing because StackExchange.Redis uses a single TCP connection and can only read one response at a time. Even though the first operation timed out, it does not stop the data being sent to/from the server, and other requests are blocked until the large request is finished, causing time outs. One solution is to minimize the chance of timeouts by ensuring that your cache is large enough for your workload and splitting large values into smaller chunks. Another possible solution is to use a pool of
ConnectionMultiplexerobjects in your client, and choose the least loaded
ConnectionMultiplexerwhen sending a new request. This should prevent a single timeout from causing other requests to also timeout.
If you are using
RedisSessionStateProvider, ensure you have set the retry timeout correctly.
retryTimeoutInMillisecondsshould be higher than
operationTimeoutInMilliseconds, otherwise no retries occur. In the following example
retryTimeoutInMillisecondsis set to 3000. For more information, see ASP.NET Session State Provider for Azure Cache for Redis and How to use the configuration parameters of Session State Provider and Output Cache Provider.
Check memory usage on the Azure Cache for Redis server by monitoring
Used Memory RSSand
Used Memory. If an eviction policy is in place, Redis starts evicting keys when
Used_Memoryreaches the cache size. Ideally,
Used Memory RSSshould be only slightly higher than
Used memory. A large difference means there is memory fragmentation (internal or external). When
Used Memory RSSis less than
Used Memory, it means part of the cache memory has been swapped by the operating system. If this swapping occurs, you can expect some significant latencies. Because Redis does not have control over how its allocations are mapped to memory pages, high
Used Memory RSSis often the result of a spike in memory usage. When Redis frees memory, the memory is given back to the allocator, and the allocator may or may not give the memory back to the system. There may be a discrepancy between the
Used Memoryvalue and memory consumption as reported by the operating system. It may be due to the fact memory has been used and released by Redis, but not given back to the system. To help mitigate memory issues, you can perform the following steps:
- Upgrade the cache to a larger size so that you are not running up against memory limitations on the system.
- Set expiration times on the keys so that older values are evicted proactively.
- Monitor the
used_memory_rsscache metric. When this value approaches the size of their cache, you are likely to start seeing performance issues. Distribute the data across multiple shards if you are using a premium cache, or upgrade to a larger cache size.
For more information, see Memory Pressure on the server.

"I just needed time alone with my own thoughts / Had treasures in my mind, but couldn't open up my old vault," Kanye West rapped seven years ago on "Power." That time he had gone to Hawaii to escape the intense scrutiny and vitriol that followed The Taylor Swift VMAs, resulting in the canonical My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. This time he's reportedly "holed up in a Wyoming retreat at the top of a mountain to find his inspiration," TMZ writes.
The argument could be made that Kanye's final months of 2016 were as tumultuous as the time he became "the abomination of Obama's nation." He was hospitalized, reportedly for temporary psychosis. Kim Kardashian wife was robbed at gunpoint in Paris while 'Ye was across the ocean playing a festival. He canceled, rescheduled and prematurely ended dates on the Saint Pablo Tour, where he spoke favorably of Donald Trump. He met with Donald Trump, at Trump Tower, and tweeted his signed copy of the then–President-elect's Time cover.
Would anyone be surprised if the public reaction to it all—especially compared to what the culture's outrage infrastructure could muster in 2009—has taken a toll, the kind that necessitates a Wyoming retreat to reopen that vault?
TMZ says Yeezy started this stint at the Wyoming mountaintop a week ago, and that he went there two weeks prior as well. The site notes that the 39-year-old has been almost completely missing from the private eye in the last few months, and that sources say this Bon Iver–ish recording isolation "has nothing to do with problems at home or problems with his head...it's all about creating music."
This week Kanye disabled his Twitter and Instagram accounts. Two weeks after dropping his seventh album, The Life of Pablo, in February 2016, 'Ye started working on a new record called Turbo Grafx 16. Spied in the studio were Quavo, Big Sean, Vic Mensa, Lil Yachty, Mike Dean, Kid Cudi and Tha Dogg Pound's Daz Dillinger. The album was teased as summer '16 release.

Eastwood's Conservative MSP says the failed "bonfire sale" of Bonnytown House care home means residents should vote for his party in the council elections.
After months of controversy over the attempted sale of the facility the preferred bidders for the site have scrapped their offer to purchase.
Earlier this week council leader Councillor Jim Fletcher said he was "extremely disappointed" by the development, adding: "A huge amount of work has gone into this process to date.
"The council had also taken the unprecedented step of supplementing pension contributions of Bonnyton staff by for a period of three years to match the terms currently in place for those transferring employment to the new prospective owners."
The authority says the preferred bidders were not the only interested party, and it is now set to resume negotiations aimed at a sale.
But Mr Carlaw says there are "more questions than answers" about why the deal, approved on December 14, has collapsed.
Describing the attempted disposal as "an ill-fated bonfire sale", he said: "The Scottish Conservatives have consistently opposed the sale of the only public care home in East Renfrewshire, while putting forward proposals to ensure it remains financially viable for the future.
"Staff, residents and their families will be upset and uncertain about their future and East Renfrewshire Council must keep them as informed about developments."
And making a direct pitch for votes for Conservative candidates in the May council elections, he added: "Any resident concerned about the Labour/SNP administration's sale of Bonnyton should vote Scottish Conservative. "
If part of the administration following the election, we are committed to maintaining Bonnyton as a public resource."

Wood Style Flooring - With the ever increasing popularity of hardwood floors as well as the renewed look that's given to your drab and dreary room with installing a new hardwood floor, more hardwood flooring material has been chosen and installed by consumers than other alternatives accessible joined. Free of expiration dates on the inner beauty of a hardwood floor, hardwood floors provide relaxation for lengthy periods of time using the ease of cleaning and increased longevity.
There is virtually an endless amount of hardwood flooring selections offered to consumers from unfinished to prefinished and engineered laminate flooring each designed with features which raise styling and the general durability of a selected style and colour. As expected, combined with the increased durability, the cost per square foot improved as well, surmounting to the total cost per square foot exceeding income levels of consumers with restricted incomes, before the introduction of vinyl wood flooring.
Vinyl wood flooring fills the emptiness between the most inexpensive hardwood flooring and also the need for affordable option flooring which is both economical, easy to install with robust durability for active families with little children and pets. Comprised of several layers of laminate material, vinyl wood flooring wood-like look remains low cost, answering the need for affordable hardwood flooring covering material that's available in many different colors, finishes and simulated wood spice finishes at realistic, down to earth costs which are reasonable under any current budget limitations.
Vinyl wood flooring is virtually maintenance free, requiring no additional or waxing attention beyond normal dusting and occasional damp mopping. Installed by interlocking seams on each side and end of the vinyl floor panel, installment is often accomplished with the assistance of a couple friends in less than a day, according to how big the room to be completed. Installed in a free-floating floor configuration over specialized maker foam backing, the completed and proper installment of a vinyl wood floor resembles natural wood flooring at a fraction of the cost of conventional and conventionally installed flooring materials.

I'm a fibre artist living in small town Ontario, specifically Campbellford. I hand-dye, -spin, -card and -knit my own wool. I also enjoy weaving, rug hooking and quilting. I am currently completing my final (6th) year of my Ontario Hand Spinning Certificate through Loyalist College. I am soooooo looking forward to graduation day.
I also teach spinning and knitting and sometimes have other fibre related classes.
I love animals. I have a Blue Merle male Collie named Antrim who you would call a "velcro dog" as he sticks to me when I am home. Then there is my two crazy cats Charlie Boy , my tabby who was dropped off when I lived in the country , and Nacho who was (I think still is?) my daughter Jessica's cat who came to stay "just for a month " 4 years ago…LOL. The 3 of them are all best buds and are constantly playing together. I also belong to the Collie Rescue as a volunteer and sporadically foster collies through the Ontario Collie Rescue. I have had 8 furry foster "kids" over the years and it is very rewarding . check out the link.
Part of my "real " jobs is that I offer professional manicures and pedicures in my home in Campbellford, Ontario. Because I do this in my home I can offer great work hours, day and evening appointments being available.
So that is me in a nutshell……not to say I am nuts but sometimes the jury is still out on that one…LOL
Welcome to my fibre world and my blog…feel free to email me about anything you have questions about.
Antrim is patiently waiting for his turn….

1. Start out with removing any nail polish on your nails as well as cutting/filing them to the desired shape.
2. The next thing you need to do is find a triangular makeup sponge. You can find these at the Dollar Tree, or can even cut a rectangular sponge!
3. Pick out the two or three (or four!) colors you would like to ombre onto your nails. These can be varying shade of the same color or different colors altogether!
4. To get the ombre effect onto your nails, you can do one of two things:
- Apply the nail polish onto a surface like plastic wrap and mix the edges to create the desired effect. Dab the sponge onto the polish and then onto your nails!
- Apply nail polish directly on the sponge and then onto your nails!
5. Clean up the edges of the nails and your fingers using a Q-tip and nail polish remover.
6. Let dry!!!!!!! And ta-da, you have gorgeous ombre nails for the summertime! :D
|These colors together are amazingggggg
What are your fav summer nail designs? Comment below and don't forget to follow! :)

That was yesterday. Today is a much better day. Just for a hour or two yesterday, I felt like I could take no more of the crap life dished out to me.
My son who's been unwell since December has finally been diagnosed with Glandular Fever. The blood test came back positive, just before Christmas, but I missed the doctor's email and the lab result and the doctor didn't follow it up with me in our subsequent visits. I am still dealing with the aftermath of last Sunday's weather bomb in our locality and wet carpets in my little Airbnb rental. As if that wasn't enough, I had a sore spot on my back which prevented me from getting a good night's sleep the night before. All of this while dealing the relationship breakup.
I thought we left things in a good place after agreeing to see a Relationship Therapist later this week to figure out how we navigate through this space we were in. Somehow, he became anxious that I wanted us to get back together and that was why I suggested therapy. After 3 lots of reassurances he was still insisting to confirming yet another time that I was clear that it was not an option. That was the point at which I lost control of what little control I had over myself.
I had looked after my son 9 days in a row with a bit of respite on two evenings. I had not had any time or space to care for my own needs which were immense and there was this man who could not see beyond his selfish panic that he might get reconnected to me and find himself in a relationship with me again. I don't know how he figures it will happen without him being present in the doing of it. Looking back, I think he was more scared of himself than of my expectations and all of his actions were motivated by self preservation.
It does not matter anymore. We have tickets to a show tonight which cost a bit of money and it is something we are both keen to see. So we will go through with it. Tomorrow we are committed to seeing the Therapist and I don't want to let her down last moment, so we will go. Then all that remains is getting the stuff I have stored at his holiday house and it is adios amigo. The wedge he tried to drive between us in the form of having his female harem sleep at his house after a St. Patrick's day party on Friday is no longer my concern. I have had my fill. This my cue to exit stage right.

I'm always working on making toys the longer your in the lifestyle the more toy ideas you see..I see them every where and with a little imagine you can turn anything into some thing perverted and fun But that said, there are all kinds of things we can do to have fun and save money (or embarrassment off shopping). The idea is look to at Adult toys that are on the market and gleam your ideas from them ..touch them, feel if at all possible ..think about what you would change or alter ..how can best make it suit your needs…search on the net for pictures and ideas.
Seems like every Domme wants a riding crop. It seems like you have to have one. Don't go to a fetish/adult store to buy one. They'll charge you $20-35or more. Go to a tack shop, where you get riding supplies. What a novel concept, get a riding crop from a riding store … much cheaper. At my last visit they had better ones than I saw at the fetish/adult shop. Plus as an added bonus the choice and range is more varied, and you even get colored variety.
Do you know about panic snaps? (great things I Love them)
They're used for horses .. $2 or $3 at farm supply shop. They provide two attachment loops But if the horse - or the bound slave - panics, you pull on the barrel in the centre, and one of those rings springs open and your captive is free. Good in case of an emergency. If someone passes out or has a fit, epileptic or otherwise , you don't want to spend time releasing them. And with the panic snaps you can support their weight while releasing them. In a group situation you can always get someone to hold the person while you release ordinary snaps, but it's harder and sometimes impossible when you're alone.
There are other things you can 'pervert'. Brushes of all sorts, I have a little scrub brush .. A hoof brush, It is stiff, with slightly scratchy bristles. .. $1.49 (From the farm supply shop.)
farm supplies… a drovers whip is about $3/7… its kind of a cross between a crop and a cane…
Saddle girth straps and stirrup's leathers also have possibilities ..I brought an old girth leather ..now it's a twase strap with a lovely snap and a great little stinger.
One more thing from the farm supply shop. That rubbery gauze they have in various colors for wrapping around horse's hoofs. Its called vet wrap. sticks to itself. I use it to wrap around things, create a handle. Great stuff. (also great for binding)
decorate your bound sub in plastic wrap (Mmm Gladwrap) . I also like polo wraps from the farm store. A set of 4, matching colors, soft, stretchy but not too stretchy.. Good for blindfolding, impromptu binding to a chair. very safe, very effective. Hehe gave me ideas for Easter/Christmas look out Oz I'm bored again.
Plastic curry brush, from the pet supply shop, cost a couple of dollars, comes in designer colors, mine is purple. It has a little clip you slide between your fingers to hold it, has all these plastic fingers sticking out the other end, for doing things with your dog's coat. Never mind perversion, I've started using on my head, scalp massage. It feels wonderful. There is also another variety, rectangular in shape, with little indentations for your fingers on the side, big rubbery fingers on one of the flat surfaces, great for massage .. again, it comes in lots of florescent colors from your pet supply store. While your there don't forget pet bowls and animal cages, leashes. a nilabone (plastic dog chew bone) drilled at the ends. thread through leather laces makes a great gag for your playful pup
Kitten collars…make the best cock ring the variety is endless from pink jewel encrusted to black leather studded.
If you want a collar, check out a good pet supply shop before you go to a fetish/Adult shop. I saw a very nice, three inch wide dog collar with huge studs on it, for about $20. Of course, you only get one d-ring to snap things to. Some even have a metal plate for engraving your subs name. give it that personal touch *wink*…choker training collars make great extension points, they have a O ring on both end that fits just about all attachment points (please note I do not recommend using around you sub/s neck)
Added note: Many farm supply stores carry a variety of collars, and whips… as well as a variety of chains, ropes..
Kitchen stores have wooden spoons, cutting boards, make great paddles.
My best "killer" paddle is from the surplus store .. it's a 36" child size canoe paddle. I paid $8 for it, I can hold it by the end and swing the whole length. I haven't ever tried it full force … but I am told gentle works pretty well. Keep an eye out in discount shops rug beaters. spray paint them if you want colors to match.
What about those heavy rubber tie downs with the metal hooks, which you use for strapping things to a pickup truck/Ute or onto a motorcycle A friend uses two or three, folded double. Without the metal hooks, of course.
While we're on the topic of getting things cheaper than at fetish shops nipple clamps .. the Japanese clover clamps .. much cheaper at the sewing supply shop .(Aussie version: fabric clamp (spotlight)) They have a little clamp which attaches to the table and holds the clover clamp, used for embroidery or something. Of course, they only sell half a pair, so you wind up with two table clamps, left over. You need to pick up a bit of chain, (choker chain works *wink*) , to join them. Also have similar in local electronics suppliers (yes I'm a geek too)
Pinwheel, play piercing
Wattenberg Wheel. go back to the sewing shop
the Wattenberg's are much sharper than the sewing ones. little prickling sensations. (Or so they tell me). no blood, but definitely prickling… my limits.
And if you want a cheap blindfold, try the drugstore/chemist .. Sleep masks.
I have both a red satin and a purple satin sleep mask, for special occasions.
Want a ball gag? get a practice gold ball .. hard plastic, hollow, with holes in it; put a rope or thong through the holes (leather boot laces work well )You can still breath with it in place. I wound up with a package of six .. anyone want five practice golf ball's? Oz doesn't chew threw them anymore
And since bdsm involves sex, (at least for some people it does), disposable plastic gloves, large, fits either hand. A package of 24 for $1 cents, at the dollar store.
Making simple toys, tool dip
But now for the creative part, where you get to show off in front of people .. making stuff. A friend took a few bungee cords, removed the outer layer and found a whole bunch of tiny rubber strands inside … makes a great tit whip or cock & ball whip.
I liked the idea, so I stopped by my favorite place, the farm supply store, and bought a bungee cord. Instead of little spaghettis, I found a dozen fettuccini; wide strips, maybe half inch wide … Different bungee cords have different insides .. so you can wind up with several patterns. (not to mention colors)
At the kitchen store, I bought some wooden skewers intended for bar b queuing. Little strips of bamboo, a foot long, pointed at one end. Take a third or half the package, wrap a string around one end a few times. I got fancy, and dipped it in red tool dip. You can use it as a stick, tap the skin with it, or you can use the pointy ends, drag that across skin.
What is tool dip? Tool dip is liquid rubber Plastisol
it's stuff you dip your metal tools in if you are working with electric stuff so you have plastic to break any charges
You dip the ends of metal tools into this, and it forms a handle. You can use it to color code stuff (Hint different lengths of rope different end colors), or to whip the ends of ropes. I use it to make handles for floggers and toys.
One thing I did was to dip ordinary, thin kitchen string in the tool dip. I dipped the whole length of the string, six foot pieces. Then folded it into shorter pieces once it's dry, bundled it together with a handle at one end, about a dozen strips, a foot long. It makes a nice stingy toy.
Or another idea rope and dip: take a nylon string about clothes line size; tie knots in it about 1 inch apart then coat the knots with dip, just the knots and DADA anal beads!
I also dipped parachute cord, that's a thin, loose, braided rope, scraped off the excess .. it became very stiff, like a switch or birch. I stuck six lengths together, very stingy, on a bigger scale than the tiny strings.
The stuff hardens quite hard the dipped rope has some flexibility, but not much.
the container of Plastic dip is about the – half the – size of a tennis-ball can. A pint? like a small container of paint.
If your after more flex I might also suggest liquid latex…might be more flexible…I haven't ventured into this a lot its still a work in progress lol .
Anyone like canes? Mini blind rods work pretty well. As do cane garden stakes if you get creative on the handle they can look and feel quite effective.
I made one using the fiberglass rods you join together to assemble a dome tent. The fibreglass rods are too thick, not flexible enough .. too much of a whack. But I think a fishing rod would be great ..
Just I would like to suggest being careful with fiberglass… it will shatter, or crack causing terrible cuts and splinters…I have tried the last segment of an old deep-sea – or surf – fishing rod. The plexi does bend
a lot. a friend of mine uses blank fishing rods as canes, dipped in tool handle stuff.
I dipped tiny plastic rods, about 1/16 " , and used the dip as a bundler to make an instant handle. It all looked great, but the rods broke, shattering in use. :(
For those without a partner, I have a suggestion :) Go to the supermarket and buy leather boot laces :) The pack quite a sting and make a delightful "swish" as they go over your shoulder for self flagellation:)
I have four leather thongs, folded double, attached to a key ring. Makes a nice fetish decoration to wear at my waist, and a convenient portable toy.
I bought a spool of that kind of leather and braided 4 foot lengths for a handle about 8", leaving the rest loose… a flogger… quite effective, cost about $10
Making a soft rope flogger, hard rubber flogger, simple short whip. A rope flogger can be nice .. softest thing around. It needs to be nylon, other plastics are nasty. Unwind the rope into strands. Unwind the strands into yarns. unwind the yarns into threads. Now there are 140000 loose threads instead of 8 or ten ropes. Makes a soft thud .. learned that from one of the local munch group.
If you have the luxury of living in a big city, where the garment district has tassel shops. get a fine nylon tassel of 100s of individual ends that swish, and a you have a stinger. (some stores also stock silk)
A rubber flogger. A bicycle inner tube, cut into lengths, about two feet long. Split the tubes. Open into not-very-flat panels, and cut into strips joined at one end. Glue the joined end onto a handle with rubber cement. Makes a healthy whack.
and a short whip, made from leather thongs, braided together. If you made a bracelet from bits of plastic when you were eight, you know the basic knot … google for "wall knots". You can either reverse direction at each stage, or keep going in one direction, I like that, gives a spiral effect. The whip starts with eight thongs, every 6 rows I take one out of the set, forcing it into the middle core. Eventually, the thongs run out, I push them into the middle to make a spreader bar from a tension rod with the spring removed… drilled a series of holes in it and insert a bolt to make it adjustable…. bolt chains on each end for cuffs… whole thing around $20 (cuffs dog collars) or a broom handle cut down with eye bolts…shorten the same design ..join two.. you have a hogtie
My favorite idea from a web page … licorice strings … first you whip him, then you eat the evidence (yummy)
ice Dildo …. have a cardboard tube, say from a roll of toilet paper, standing up, with a condom hanging down inside … the open end of the condom wrapped around the top of the tube. Put some water into it, put in the freezer.
When you take it out of the freezer, make sure you run some water over it or do something to take the edge off, slightly, you don't want freezing cold to damage the skin. Hint add a few more condom if you feel its too cold.
I have a very thick leather belt I got from the Salvation Army store. I remember getting the strap in the principle's office. This feels very much like that. I think it cost me $3
feather duster (tickler)…I like those big ostrich feathers too\\
I like climbing stores you can get wide webbing, buckles, Velcro all kinds of things
And recently at a Fashion Center store in Melbourne, they had a sale of silky rope, purple colored. 10 yards for $5. Amazing… I got 20 yards.
I have a pair of tweezers I bought at an electronics / mechanics surplus store. The zigzag kind, normally closed, squeeze to open Makes an interesting nipple clamp, doesn't squeeze very hard .. $2 they also sell them at jewelry supply shops. they're called 'cross-lock tweezers.'
dental picks?? Not a sex insertion toy .. don't insert anywhere use them for skin .. sensation control .. tease a person's skin with the pointy parts
..the list is endless and you are only limited by your imagination…its not how something looks ,its how it feels, and how you feel when you use it…look around your home ..or shed I bet your getting ideas ..have fun ..experiment ..enjoy that's what its all about and if you get a good idea feel free to share it ..include a picture if you want we'd love to post it and give you credit

Engagement images are a great way to get to know your wedding photographer! You will get familiar with how we pose and find those special moments through the way we communicate with you, and you will get experience in front of the camera before your big day. The best part is that not only are they a valuable rehearsal, but you'll end up with beautiful pictures for your Save-the-Dates and wedding invitations!
Our engagement sessions include one hours time, one location, two clothing changes, and a sneak peek through Social Media. Prints, USB, Digital Files and Wall Enlargements are additional.
A wonderful way to showcase the brides beauty is with a series of bridal portraits. Families love them and the groom will adore them!!
This one hour session allows the bride and the photographer to form a relationship and get comfortable with one another before the big day. Because there is no limit to the number of location changes, it is also an opportunity to create some truly striking, one-of-a-kind bridal portraits.
"Trash The Dress" portraits are ideal for those Brides looking for something different and mind blowing! Ask the studio for more details.
Bruce Curtis (principle photographer) and Wanda Curtis act as the lead photographers at every wedding. We always provide a Photography Assistant with most packages, this enables us to commit all of our attention to shooting while our assistants handle the other tasks (carrying equipment, setting up lights, holding reflectors and much more).
Our musical slideshows are a shareable, fun highlight of your wedding day. We carefully choose our favorite images from your big day, sync them to music, add a little text and – voila! – you have a great souvenir. A lot more time goes into these than you might think, but we make sure to make them feel authentic. You can use your slideshow in your gallery, play it on your computer, or share it with friends on Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and most other social networks. You can even play these HD videos on your mobile devices.
Included in all collections, we will upload ALL of your engagement and wedding images to our online gallery. You can share the link with anyone whom you would like to show your photographs!
To enable you to take your photographs anywhere, we will provide them onto a customized USB case & drive. A beautiful keepsake case is uniquely designed to hold the USB drive, designed with one of your wedding images chosen by the photographer. It will hold all of the high resolution images and a .pdf copy of your print release.
Bridal Portraits, "Trash the Dress Sessions," and Engagement Sessions are charged an additional $150 per hour unless otherwise noted.
ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS may be included in some of our wedding packages and clients will have their choice of one of the following locations; Saratoga State Park, Yaddo Gardens or Congress Park. We are more than happy to accommodate other locations, however, additional fees may apply. Please feel free to ask us for more details.
Delivery of your high-resolution images will include a signed, limited copyright release for personal use. That means you can use your images in a personal capacity in anyway that you would like. Want to order prints? Create albums? Make art? Share with your friends & family? You can do it all!
What you will not be able to do is sell them for money, license them for commercial use or give permission to anyone else to do these things. Imagine! Photography & Design and Bruce & Wanda Curtis, will maintain the ownership copyright holders to ALL of the images captured and created.
To reserve your date is easy. We just require a $500 retainer and a signed contract – that's it! All of our clients receive unlimited communication and top notch customer service!
A second retainer (75% of the balance) will be due 90 days prior to your wedding date. The remaining balance (25%) of your photography contract will be due after your wedding, when you pick up your wedding images (USB), for the first time, usually 2-3 weeks after your wedding.

"An inconvenient sequel:
Truth to power"
More than a decade after jumpstarting a global conversation on the climate crisis with the film An Inconvenient Truth, Climate Reality Founder and Chairman Al Gore returns to the big screen with "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power."
"An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power" tells the story of one man's fight to solve this crisis at a time when the threat has never been clearer - and the reasons for hope have never been greater.
We follow Vice President Gore as he travels the world training citizens as Climate Reality Leaders and building an international coalition to confront the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced.
This film arrives at a critical moment, as Vice President Gore, Climate Reality, and millions of Americans fight back against an administration that prioritizes the interests of fossil fuel corporations over the health of our planet.

The Lancaster Times and Clinton Courier
