As someone with relaxed (permed / texturised) hair, have you ever thought about going natural? Or have you ever wondered why others may have decided to take that path? Well, I hope the piece below inspires you.
I wrote this poem some time ago while reflecting on the reasons why I had decided to cut my hair in January last year. Before deciding to go natural my hair was relaxed and about 13 inches long so it was really a big deal.
I worried about length and whether I could ever grow it back as long as before. Well I'm glad I took the plunge. It's been a year and a half and my hair is already 7 inches long (stretched). In addition to that I have so much volume which I could never have achieved before. You're welcome to read up and pass it on.
Today I decided to cut my hair
I'll explain why I made this decision
There was an underlying pang of fear
It's gone. I must bring this plan to fruition
At birth, my hair was thick and black and wool
So tough to comb. It was hard to manage
I always thought it was too much trouble
Mum relaxed it when I had come of age
Now I blended right in just like a doll
Hair straight, pressed flat. So limp and so lifeless
You won't spot me in a crowd, large or small
Easy to see I'd lost my uniqueness
Today I am leaving the doll factory
My hair stands out. It tells its own story

Again, I’m writing after a long time. Though, I wrote couple of blogs for IEEE NITK which can be found here and here. I’ll try to write more posts.
Anyways, the first thing I did this winter was revamping the blog theme because it had been long time and it didn’t change.
The Monochromatic Flat Theme
This time I was off from Material, rather I chose a flat theme because I used nothing other than Material. The theme is monochromatic, and is bold. The homepage features a vector photo of me with a bold title.
Typography
I never thought much about typography earlier. I always liked Roboto and used (excessively) everywhere. But this time I studied a little about typography, and chose a pair of fonts for the blog.
Volkorn
This is a serif font and has really good readability. I liked it’s boldness as it’s good for the theme. I have used this font mostly for the content and sometimes for the sub-headings as well.
Archivo Black
This font is really bold. It is heavy and aesthetic. I really liked this font the moment I saw it and can be a really good display font. So, I chose this for the headings, the logo, and the sub-heading.
Micro-interactions
The theme is a little plain. I had to add a little bit of fun in it to balance the plainess. So, I have used micro-interactions.
Firstly, the Loader of the homepage is rather surprising, as it is a bit different from normal ones.
The Post List has hover animation.
Now let’s come to the fun part, Shared Element Transition between pages. This is inspired from Android’s Shared Element Transition. I think it’s first time someone on the web has tried to do this. While loading the blog, the title seamlessly transits to the position on the blog, and then the blog loads. It keeps users focussed on what they want to read. The implementation is simple than it looks. You just need to animate the shared element to the position on the next page before/while requesting the next page.
The Menu is also bold, with the photo blending in with the menu background. (I just used the css mix-blend-mode
property.)
Conclusion
The making of new blog theme was a great learning experience for me. I learnt the importance of Typography and Micro-interactions in today’s web. I have also shared with you what I’ve learnt over here. I hope you learn from this too…

Handy quick lingo dictionary: 'HTML' - HyperText MarkUp Language 'CSS' - Cascading Style Sheets 'Control Flow'- Order statements are executed in a script (standard = top to bottom) 'Loops' - Prefrom repeated code based on a or many conditions 'DOM' - The glue that holds it all together - the Document Object Model 'Arrays & Objects' - A variable(VAR) that hold more than one value “ordered list“[] & object but its real name is “unordered list“ or “hash”. We know it is an unordered list if it has labels and it is surrounded by { } 'Function' - Set of Statements that perfrom a task (its a function too)
HTML and CSS together are the core languages to building a webpage. Think of them like an old married couple sitting on the deck together drinking tea, super happy and super cute. HTML dictates the content and structure of the page while CSS changes the display and design of the page. Together they make a whole, very structurally comfortable webpage interface. They work well and complement each other.The thing is, naturally like in all relationships one is a little more picky that the other - Ms. HTML is fine to share their tea with Mr CSS but unfortunately it's not a two way street. Mr CSS is treemdously picky. And example of this is that within an HTML file, you can write CSS. But woooh nelly you can't write HTML in a CSS file.
HTML consists of tags and surrounding content that tell the server what each piece of content is, i.e. a heading or a paragraph. Whereas CSS uses singular IDs or classes to pick out these attributes and define their colour, size, design, padding etc. The analogy did absolutely fall away towards the end there but in all fairness - it was a hard one to maintain.
Control flow and Loops outline how/in what order the code in the script is executed. Control flow is the order of statements that are executed in a script which will run from the top to the bottom. Whereas loops perform a repeated code based on a condition.
Let's minimise this jargon, think of the way you make your morning cup of coffee (or tea - whatever takes your fancy).  Whether that's turning on the kettle first, or getting your favourite cup out etc.
Personally, I turn the jug on, pick and retrieve my cup, get my jar of instant coffee on the bench at the ready and then stare at the jug. If I'm feeling particularly flashy I'll get a teasppon out to stir.
In my admittedly my mind-numbingly boring senario the steps I take from start to finish is the control flow, the loop would come in if on that day I did decide my coffee needed a stir and it would outline the condition of this repeated task i.e. how many times (around and around) I stir my coffee and when to stop.
Hopefully that was somewhat clear in explaining the Control Flow and the Loop - if not, lucky you - you now know my thrilling morning coffee routine
Now for the DOM, as the name suggests it's important, VIP level. The DOM is the Document Object Model that holds all the information about a website/webpage. You can access it by right clicking and hitting inspect. BOOM. There it is, all very impressive. What you have in front of you is access to html, css, and js. The best thing is you can change it all right there on DOM and see what it looks like instantly. Moreover you can find/highlight and inspect individual elements. Besides being widely fun, you'd use/traverse the DOM when making changes to the website for ease to a) instantly see the changes and b) pinpoint the exact elements where the changes need to be made.
Since an array is an ordered list holding more than one value - to access a specific value all we need to know is the numerical position within the list. Weirdly the first value is always held at 0 and then follows normally from there. The number(index) of the value wanted is put between []. Annnnnd values can be added or removed by using the push(), pop(), unshift(), and shift() methods.
Whereas objects are used to represent a "thing" in the code for example a person, a house, a book etc. The characteristics within an object are called the properties which are made up of a key and a value. An object can also be thought of as an unordered list and to access, add or remove items from objects a bracket or dot notation has to be used. There's a few rules about this, dot notation can only be used for alphanumeric ids with no spaces. With bracket notation property ids have to be a string or a variable that references a string. {}
A function is a block of code,a set of statements that can be given a singular name and called upon as many times as need be. For the right lingo here - functions are 'declared' and are made up of a name, parm and a statement. Which will return a value/item. See below for the setup!

A Berkeley DB environment is an encapsulation of one or more databases, log files and region files. Region files are the shared memory areas that contain information about the database environment such as memory pool cache pages. Only databases are byte-order independent and only database files can be moved between machines of different byte orders. Log files can be moved between machines of the same byte order. Region files are usually unique to a specific machine and potentially to a specific operating system release.
The simplest way to administer a Berkeley DB application environment is to create a single home directory that stores the files for the applications that will share the environment. The environment home directory must be created before any Berkeley DB applications are run. Berkeley DB itself never creates the environment home directory. The environment can then be identified by the name of that directory.
An environment may be shared by any number of processes, as well as by any number of threads within those processes. It is possible for an environment to include resources from other directories on the system, and applications often choose to distribute resources to other directories or disks for performance or other reasons. However, by default, the databases, shared regions (the locking, logging, memory pool, and transaction shared memory areas) and log files will be stored in a single directory hierarchy.
It is important to realize that all applications sharing a database environment implicitly trust each other. They have access to each other's data as it resides in the shared regions, and they will share resources such as buffer space and locks. At the same time, any applications using the same databases must share an environment if consistency is to be maintained between them.
For more information on the operations supported by the database environment handle, see the Database Environments and Related Methods section in the Berkeley DB C API Reference Guide.

Basic rules
- This is a score event with time a limit of 60 minutes with a punching start and punching finish.
- The winner is the competitor with maximum points gained in the minimum time.
- The basic 'punch' score is adjusted by mispunch and time penalties and then by the BOF recommended age/sex handicap values to get an overall score.
- Lateness penalties of 20 points per minute and part minute will be deducted if you return after the maximum allowed time.
- A mispunched control/ball will cost you 40 points or the value of the 'ball'; whichever is the higher cost.
- A 'Red' is mispunched if it is punched more than once, punched when a colour is required, or if it is punched while clearing the colours.
- A 'Colour' is mispunched if it is punched when a Red is required or is punched out of sequence when clearing the colours.
- As the event is loosely based on the scoring format of snooker. There are 16 ‘balls’, 10 reds and six different colours.
 Controls representing the balls are pre-marked
on the map in the correct colour, control code and the nominal points value.

Chinese Escapes Arrest in Ksh18 Million Drug Bust
by Samuel MbataruOfficers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations arrested four suspects supplying counterfeit cigarettes at Kenyatta Market in Kilimani area using a lorry found to be carrying 182 cartons of the product estimated to be worth Ksh18 million.
According to a statement from the DCI, police acted on a tipoff from members of the public on Friday, November 22, 2019.
“Over Ksh18 million worth of counterfeit cigarettes were yesterday seized at Kenyatta Market in Kilimani and four suspects found supplying them arrested,” read the report.
“Tipped-off by the public, detectives intercepted a Mitsubishi Canter and upon search, found 182 cartons each containing 50,” the DCI added.
Police are in pursuit of a Chinese suspect who managed to escape arrest. Those detained were identified as Paul Njoroge, Kefa Onyino, Joseph Kariuki and John Wainanina.
Packets of cigarettes seized were branded Golden Deer King Size.
According to the Anti-counterfeit Agency (ACA), one in every five products sold in the Kenyan market is counterfeit.
This has been pointed out to posing a serious threat to Kenyans’ health, security and the economy of the country.
In September 2019, ACA destroyed an assortment of fake goods worth Ksh5 million including cigarettes in Mombasa.
“We at ACA want to further open up to the private sectors to assist in law enforcement and consumer awareness programmes to cut the demand side of counterfeiting,'' remarked ACA Chairperson Flora Mutahi.

Well that comes at a price, and the price is an ever growing MSDB. So, you should consider setting a retention date for your servers and create or add the following to your maintenance packages/jobs.
This script will clear out the mail items and the log based on the @Retention_Days variable:
DECLARE @Retention_days SMALLINT
, @Delete_Date DATETIME
SET @Retention_Days = -90 -- 3 months
SET @Delete_Date = DATEADD(d, @Retention_Days, GETDATE())
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_delete_mailitems_sp @sent_before = @Delete_Date
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_delete_log_sp @logged_before = @Delete_Date

Ibn Sina
The father of modern medicine
Here's a timeline of Ibn Sina's life:
- - Born in Afshana, a village near Bukhara (in present-day Uzbekistan), the capital of the Samanids, a Persian dynasty in Central Asia and Greater Khorasan.
- - Has essentially learned all the Quran and literature, then started studing philosophy.
- - Turns to medicine, and not only learned medical theory, but also by gratuitous attendance of the sick had, according to his own account, discovered new methods of treatment.
- - Ibn Sina's first appointment was that of physician to the emir, "Nuh II", who owed him his recovery from a dangerous illness. Ibn Sina's chief reward for this service was access to the royal library of the Samanids, well-known patrons of scholarship and scholars.
- - Achieves full status as a qualified physician at age 18. The youthful physician's fame spread quickly, and he treated many patients without asking for payment.
- - Loses his father.
- - Declines the offers of "Mahmud of Ghazni", and proceeded westwards to Urgench in modern Turkmenistan, where the vizier, regarded as a friend of scholars, gave him a small monthly stipend. The pay was small, however, so Ibn Sina wandered from place to place through the districts of Nishapur and Merv to the borders of Khorasan, seeking an opening for his talents.
- - Starts serving the Kakuyid ruler "Muhammad ibn Rustam Dushmanziyar" (also known as Ala al-Dawla), whom he accompanied as physician and general literary and scientific adviser, even in his numerous campaigns.
- - Dies in his fifty-eighth year, in the month of Ramadan and was buried in Hamadan, Iran.

Written just before, and than as I take the substance:
Today I am taking sixteen milligrams of 2C-E. I have been waiting to sample this particular material for a very long time. It was one the first substances to really stand out from the bunch when I first read PIHKAL all of those years ago. Something about PIHKALís chapter forty, in which fifteen milligrams of the chemical sent a tripping Dr. Shulgin to the hospital convinced that he had a hernia. And then the subsequent entries in part two of the book really made this one intriguing to me. The text suggested this compound had quite a punch to it, as well as some serious depth. I canít wait to see what, if anything, it has to offer me.
I am once again tripping with M, a friend I am rapidly becoming very close with. We did an interesting experiment to silence inner-dialogue and to try to get us both on the same level before we took the compound. It involved focusing on the same object (a Simpsonís eight-ball that tells oneís fortune) for five minutes while attempting to silence the mind and think of only that object. It is a lot harder than it sounds. With both of his parakeets, which he had brought over, and my two cockatiels inside, the random noises outside, and everything else going onÖthe mind tends to wander very quickly. It was a great exercise to do undertake in order to relax our minds and bring us on a closer level together. I am glad he suggested it.
After that, I did my own tripping ritual which involves myself, and whoever else is tripping with me, saying prayers or sending good vibes to a stick of incense. I subsequently light the incense and walk around the house (or campground if I am outside) with it to distribute the smoke as a sign of good luck, an offering, and to ask any bad thoughts, vibes, or spirits to leave the area for now. I find this practice strongly relaxes my mind and I do believe it Ďcleansesí the house or area I am tripping in.
Well, we just took the pills and now am off to smoke some yummy pot and listen to a few remixes of a recording I made last night.
About twenty minutes after we ate the pills of 2C-E:
Think I might feel something. It is just an alert though. The material is just letting me know itís there, but nothing else is happening. Well, back to the recording equipment to make some sweet sounds.
Twenty-five minutes later still:
A stronger, yet still undefined something is occurring. Strong body energy is flowing from my solar plexus. I am also getting that ďphenethylamineĒ feeling, whatever that means. This body energy reminds me a bit of 2C-I or 2C-B, but it seems perhaps a bit stronger. No visuals or anything like that yet. No mental effects to really to note. It is all in the body at this point. Ok, back to recording.
A little over an hour after taking the substance:
We are going to make our way out for a walk to work with the body energy this drug is producing, which is quite strong at this point. The body-feelings now remind me intensely of 2C-T-2, except that I am not puking my guts up and thankfully I do not think I am going to get sick at all from this material. But it does have quite a push to it. Other than this intense energy-flow, the drug seems ok on the body. I would not even call what I am experiencing a body-load, as it is not exactly unpleasant. It is just a strong flow of energy radiating through my body and it makes sitting still at this recording consol a little difficult. Anyway, Iíll report when I get back.
Perhaps ten hours after I have taken the compound.
2C-E has turned out to be the most incredible and complex phenethylamine, and really psychedelic drug in general, that I have ever ingested. It will never replace 2C-T-7 in my heart because that substance has helped me with so many personal issues in the past, plus I love 2C-T-7ís intense emotional effects, out-of-this world visuals, and also that particular drug is a load of fun to take. But 2C-E is a serious and fantastic psychedelic tool with few negatives to speak of. It beats all of the other phenethylamines I have tried in depth.
I really don't know how to put into words, or how to describe what it did and how it acted in my mind. There were parts of it that reminded me of the other phenethylamines I've tried in one way or another, but the effects of this material are really difficult to express or generalize. I think Shulgin said it best when he commented in PIHKAL,
'Let it (2C-E) rest as being a difficult and worthwhile material.Ē I couldn't have said it any better myself.
Most of our trip consisted of a seven-mile walk along my usual bike path that I ride almost daily. At first, both of us only noticed the body energy until a man typical for our area (a long-haired hippy-like fellow with a beard) passed us on his bicycle while talking on a cell phone. It was such a classic image of the sixties merging with the modern era, and it sent the both of us into roaring and almost uncontrollable laughter. That event seemed to kick things up a notch.
Initially, the perceptual changes were subtle and had to be sought after in order to really notice them, but it did not take long for the visuals to became full-fledged and powerful. There was also an incredible introspective nature to the experience. In watching all the different families and solo individuals pass by, some on bikes and some walking, we seemed to be able to read into them and what we perceived of as their existences from their facial expressions and from what M and I felt as the vibes and energy they emanated. It was amazing and incredibly powerful.
And the visuals continued to grow in scope and magnitude seemingly every minute. Eventually, everything became in constant motion and all objects were continuously undulating and before our very eyes. A bird flew by left after-images of six or more phantom birds following it. The color enhancement this material produced rivaled that of any phenethylamine Iíve taken, except 2C-T-7. It blew 2C-Bís visual effects out of the water and Iíve taken that substance up to thirty-six milligrams which was a pretty stiff dosage.
Iíll never forget sitting to take a rest at a park bench and watching the sand and grass morph and move in on itself, crawl, and churn as the mountains and the houses in front of our view grew and shrank in size and proportion. And all of it in perfect rhythm, synchronization, and harmony with the universe. I was so over-taken with the visuals at points that I actually ended up having some flat out hallucinations. I had to ask my friend at one point if what I was seeing was really there or not. I saw, what turned out to be large granite boulders, transformed into migrant workers raking leaves along the trail. I also kept seeing animals crossing the path in front of us that did not exist.
Our walk took around three hours total, and we were both quite exhausted by the time we got back to my home. Our appetites were enormous and we gorged ourselves on some turkey sandwiches and drank water till we were well rehydrated. This was around the four-hour point of the trip, and we had definitely passed the plateau of the experience and were headed back down. After eating, we smoked some more pot and I went into the bedroom alone and took a balloon of nitrous oxide. The results allowed me a few seconds to truly step back and examine my life at the moment. It actually left me confused on a few issues, but I didnít worry about it because I canít expect to know all of the answers. I simply must move on.
M and I spent the rest of the evening watching the cable network
Animal Planet and I must say, I donít ever think Iíve watched television with such an expanded mind, and from such an open viewpoint. We observed a lot of dirty advertisers and were able to notice subliminal messages and just general attitudes that our culture accepts but that M and I deemed undesirable. Iím not going to get into what they were, but it was amazing to be able to ďread between the linesĒ like that. Even the seemingly innocent
Animal Planet had some frightening images and attitudes it was presenting to its viewers that were not in humanities best interests as far as we were concerned. We smoked a few more bowls, and now M has gone into my studio to work on music while I have been typing up this report. Iím getting tired and I doubt I will be up much later.
The next day:
A few observations are that 2C-E produced an incredibly rich, immersive, and powerful psychedelic experience, but the journey wasn't exactly fun. It was serious, yet I completely enjoyed myself in every way. But this is no recreational drug by any stretch of the imagination. Again, I am totally understand what Shulgin meant in PIHKAL when he commented that some people had said of 2C-E,
ďíI don't think I like it, since it isn't that much fun. But I intend to explore it again.í There is something here that will reward the experimenter.Ē
I think 2C-E has enormous potential as a psychotherapeutic agent because it was so penetrating. At least from this one exposure, it makes 2C-B and 2C-I seem like mere toys in a way. They simply do not match up to 2C-E in the depth they are able to reach in my opinion. And for me the 2C-E experience was free of the nausea and other annoying side effects that the members of the 2C-T family I have sampled tend to produce. So I see it as being superior, although very different, to those materials in many different aspects.
And the most intense part of the trip didn't last very long either, which I view as a very positive aspect. By four hours into the experience, I was starting to come down. By the nine-hour point, little remained of the effects. I never truly judge a chemical from one exposure, but if this one exposure is indicative of what I can expect from further 2C-E trips, this will be a phenethylamine I will often reach for first.
Final notes:
It was a big decision for me to even write this trip report. More and more, chemicals like 2C-E are becoming available to a class of people (usually teenagers or irresponsible young adults) that are simply looking for an easy to get recreational high that will replace the mushrooms or LSD which some of these people are finding hard to get. For some individuals, these seemingly Ďlegalí highs are used without a shred of knowledge being given to the fact that little to nothing is known about them, or their possible side effects.
I'm just scared that writing glowing reports like this is only going to bring unwanted attention to their existence. In fact, I know it will. I don't want to popularize anything, nor do I want to be an influence to anyone. But I also believe that knowledge should be shared and the whole reason I take many of these experimental and exotic psychedelics is to see which ones are good and which ones are poor for psychotherapeutic purposes. If I were to sequester the information, it would defeat that purpose.
But Iím going to say thisÖI only took sixteen milligrams of 2C-E and I never tripped so hard from such a low dose of a phenethylamine. This dosage produced a full and complete plus-three that was almost overwhelming at times. Although I seem a bit sensitive to it because M took the same dosage as I did and didn't trip quite as hard, I don't think
anyone should take more than sixteen milligrams their first time. If one were really smart, they would start off with ten or twelve milligrams. Shulgin said some people had some rich plus-three experiences with just ten milligrams, so 2C-E really needs to be approached with respect and caution.
If one was going to attempt to use this drug without a proper milligram scale, there is nothing that can be said about that individual except they are a totally irresponsible and have no business working with this material. Sixteen milligrams of powder is a tiny, tiny amount of material and there is no real way to accurately tell the difference between sixteen milligrams and say twenty-five milligrams. With amounts of powder that tiny, the human eye simply does not register such minute differences. And what would be even more foolish is to insufflate this material, which Iíve noticed a lot of users seem to do with these exotic chemicals for reasons Iíll never understand.
It is well known that snorting phenethylamines increases the side effects, and the insufflation of several materials closely related to 2C-E has lead to hospital visits and a few possible deaths. I beg of anyone who reading this to please have a milligram scale if you plan on working with 2C-E, and please do not snort it. It works just fine orally, and based on the amount of body-energy I experienced in the beginning, I would not imagine it would be a pleasant thing to snort. One has no business working with these materials if you cannot follow these simple guidelines. 2C-E is not a toy by any stretch of the imagination. Be careful please.

Which timebox and habits techniques did you try?
I was aware of the Pomodoro technique before EDA but I'd never really had anything suitable to try it with. So far, I've been doing alright but I'm sure next week I'll have more to add.
What did you find interesting?
The idea of doing a task or forming a habit and then having the mindset come afterwards is sort of surprising? I feel like I've had that happen before but because I'd never really thought about it, it's easy to forget how you acted before the change in mindset.
What worked for you?
So far, I haven't really needed to use anything to get started on the work.
Now that I think about it, I'm actually finding toggl itself it helping since you can see how much work you've already done.
Which will you experiment further with?
Although I'd never really considered meditation as something I would ever do, I think I'll give it a test run and see how things pan out. I'll also be trying out BJ Fogg's method of tying tiny habits to actions I already do daily.

Clustering
Session clustering
TomEE fully relies on Tomcat clustering: Tomcat Clustering.
The configuration is mainly in conf/server.xml
and since TomEE 7 CDI @SessionScoped
is transparently clustered
through the session.
Hazelcast as session provider
Hazelcast did a post on this topic on Session Clustering With TomEE.
Tomitribe also demonstrated you can distributed @Stateful
beans easily relying on hazelcast: Hazelcast TomEE PoC.
Load balancing
TomEE being a HTTP server all HTTP load balancer such as HTTPd (a.k.a. Apache2), ngnix, F5 etc… will work.
More documentation on HTTPd link can be found on Tomcat website.
EJBd
If you use the EJBd protocol (@Remote
EJB proprietary protocol of TomEE) you can get cluster features on the client
part.
Multicast
Multicast is the preferred way to broadcast the heartbeat on the network. The simple technique of broadcasting a non-changing service URI on the network has specific advantages to multicast. The URI itself is essentially stateless and there is no "i’m alive" URI or an "i’m dead" URI.
In this way the issues with UDP being unordered and unreliable melt away as state is no longer a concern and packet sizes are always small. Complicated libraries that ride atop UDP and attempt to offer reliability (retransmission) and ordering on UDP can be avoided. As well the advantages UDP has over TCP are retained as there are no java layers attempting to force UDP communication to be more TCP-like. The simple design means UDP/Multicast is only used for discovery and from there on out critical information is transmitted over TCP/IP which is obviously going to do a better job at ensuring reliability and ordering.
Server Configuration
When you boot the server there should be a conf/multicast.properties file containing:
Just need to enable that by setting disabled=false. All of the above settings except server can be changed. The port and bind must be valid for general multicast/udp network communication.
The group setting can be changed to further group servers that may use the same multicast channel. As shown below the client also has a group setting which can be used to select an appropriate server from the multicast channel.
|
Important
|
for multicast to work you need to have ejbd activated as a normal service. This can be done setting in conf/system.properties the entry: openejb.service.manager.class = org.apache.openejb.server.SimpleServiceManager .
|
Multicast Client
The multicast functionality is not just for servers to find each other in a cluster, it can also be used for EJB clients to discover a server. A special multicast:// URL can be used in the InitialContext properties to signify that multicast should be used to seed the connection process. Such as:
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "multicast://<IP_ADDRESS>:6142?group=default");
InitialContext remoteContext = new InitialContext(p);
The URL has optional query parameters such as schemes and group and timeout which allow you to zero in on a particular type of service of a particular cluster group as well as set how long you are willing to wait in the discovery process till finally giving up. The first matching service that it sees "flowing" around on the UDP stream is the one it picks and sticks to for that and subsequent requests, ensuring UDP is only used when there are no other servers to talk to.
Note that EJB clients do not need to use multicast to find a server. If the client knows the URL of a server in the cluster, it may use it and connect directly to that server, at which point that server will share the full list of its peers.
Multicast Servers with TCP Clients
Note that clients do not need to use multicast to communicate with servers. Servers can use multicast to discover each other, but clients are still free to connect to servers in the network using the server’s TCP address.
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ejbd://<IP_ADDRESS>:4201");
InitialContext remoteContext = new InitialContext(p);
When the client connects, the server will send the URLs of all the servers in the group and failover will take place normally.
Multipulse
MultiPulse is an alternative multicast lookup that does not use a regular heartbeat. Instead, servers listen for a multicast request packet (a pulse) to which a response is then sent. Multicast network traffic is effectively reduced to an absolute minimum.
MultiPulse is only useful in network scenarios where both client and server can be configured to send multicast UDP packets.
Server Configuration
After you boot the server for the first time the default configuration will create the file conf/conf.d/multipulse.properties containing:
server = org.apache.openejb.server.discovery.MulticastPulseAgent
bind = <IP_ADDRESS>
port = 6142
disabled = true
group = default
You just need to enable the agent by setting disabled = false. It is advisable to disable multicast in the multicast.properties file, or at least to use a different bind address or port should you wish to use both.
All of the above settings except server can be modified as required. The port and bind must be valid for general multicast/udp network communication.
The group setting can be changed to further group/cluster servers that may use the same multicast channel. As shown below the client also has an optional group setting which can be used to select an appropriate server cluster from the multicast channel (See MultiPulse Client).
The next step is to ensure that the advertised services are configured for discovery. Edit the ejbd.properties file (and any other enabled services such as http, etc.) and ensure that the discovery option is set to a value that remote clients will be able to resolve.
server = org.apache.openejb.server.ejbd.EjbServer
bind = <IP_ADDRESS>
port = 4201
disabled = false
threads = 20
discovery = ejb:ejbd://{bind}:{port}
|
Note
|
If either <IP_ADDRESS> (IPv4) or [::] (IPv6) wildcard bind addresses are used then the server will actually broadcast all of it’s known public hosts to clients. Clients will then cycle though and attempt to connect to the provided hosts until successful. |
If localhost is used then only clients on the same physical machine will actually 'see' the server response.
MultiPulse Client
The multipulse functionality is not just for servers to find each other in a cluster, it can also be used for EJB clients to discover a server. A special multipulse:// URL can be used in the InitialContext properties to signify that multipulse should be used to seed the connection process. Such as:
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "multipulse://<IP_ADDRESS>:6142?group=default&timeout=250");
InitialContext remoteContext = new InitialContext(p);
The URL has optional query parameters such as schemes and group and timeout which allow you to zero in on a particular type of service of a particular cluster group as well as set how long you are willing to wait in the discovery process till finally giving up. The first matching service that it sees "flowing" around on the UDP stream is the one it picks and sticks to for that and subsequent requests, ensuring UDP is only used when there are no other servers to talk to.
Note that EJB clients do not need to use multipulse to find a server. If the client knows the URL of a server in the cluster, it may use it and connect directly to that server, at which point that server will share the full list of its peers.
Multicast Servers with TCP Clients
Note that clients do not need to use multipulse to communicate with servers. Servers can use multicast to discover each other, but clients are still free to connect to servers in the network using the server’s TCP address.
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ejbd://<IP_ADDRESS>:4201");
InitialContext remoteContext = new InitialContext(p);
When the client connects, the server will send the URLs of all the servers in the group and failover will take place normally.
Multipoint
As TCP has no real broadcast functionality to speak of, communication of who is in the network is achieved by each server having a physical connection to each other server in the network.
To join the network, the server must be configured to know the address of at least one server in the network and connect to it. When it does both servers will exchange the full list of all the other servers each knows about. Each server will then connect to any new servers they’ve just learned about and repeat the processes with those new servers. The end result is that everyone has a direct connection to everyone 100% of the time, hence the made-up term "multipoint" to describe this situation of each server having multiple point-to-point connections which create a fully connected graph.
On the client side things are similar. It needs to know the address of at least one server in the network and be able to connect to it. When it does it will get the full (and dynamically maintained) list of every server in the network. The client doesn’t connect to each of those servers immediately, but rather consults the list in the event of a failover, using it to decide who to connect to next.
The entire process is essentially the art of using a statically maintained list to bootstrap getting the more valuable dynamically maintained list.
Server Configuration
In the server this list can be specified via the conf/multipoint.properties file like so:
server = org.apache.openejb.server.discovery.MultipointDiscoveryAgent
bind = <IP_ADDRESS>
port = 4212
disabled = false
initialServers = <IP_ADDRESS>:4212, <IP_ADDRESS>:4212, <IP_ADDRESS>:4212
The above configuration shows the server has an port 4212 open for connections by other servers for multipoint communication. The initialServers list should be a comma separated list of other similar servers on the network. Only one of the servers listed is required to be running when this server starts up — it is not required to list all servers in the network.
Client Configuration
Configuration in the client is similar, but note that EJB clients do not participate directly in multipoint communication and do not connect to the multipoint port. The server list is simply a list of the regular ejbd:// urls that a client normally uses to connect to a server.
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "failover:ejbd://<IP_ADDRESS>:4201,ejbd://<IP_ADDRESS>:4201");
InitialContext remoteContext = new InitialContext(p);
Failover can work entirely driven by the server, the client does not need to be configured to participate. A client can connect as usual to the server.
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ejbd://<IP_ADDRESS>:4201");
InitialContext remoteContext = new InitialContext(p);
If the server at <IP_ADDRESS>:4201 supports failover, so will the client.
In this scenario the list of servers used for failover is supplied entirely by the server at <IP_ADDRESS>:4201. The server could have aquired the list via multicast or multipoint (or both), but this detail is not visible to the client.
Considerations
Network size
The general disadvantage of this topology is the number of connections required. The number of connections for the network of servers is equal to (n * n - n) / 2, where n is the number of servers. For example, with 5 servers you need 10 connections, with 10 servers you need 45 connections, and with 50 servers you need 1225 connections. This is of course the number of connections across the entire network, each individual server only needs n - 1 connections.
The handling of these sockets is all asynchronous Java NIO code which allows the server to handle many connections (all of them) with one thread. From a pure threading perspective, the option is extremely efficient with just one thread to listen and broadcast to many peers.
Double connect
It is possible in this process that two servers learn of each other at the same time and each attempts to connect to the other simultaneously, resulting in two connections between the same two servers. When this happens both servers will detect the extra connection and one of the connections will be dropped and one will be kept. In practice this race condition rarely happens and can be avoided almost entirely by fanning out server startup by as little as 100 milliseconds.
Recommandation
As mentioned the initialServers is only used for bootstrapping the multipoint network. Once running, all servers will dynamically establish direct connections with each other and there is no single point of failure.
However to ensure that the bootstrapping process can occur successfully, the initialServers property of the conf/multipoint.properties file must be set carefully and with a specific server start order in mind. Each server consults its initialServers list exactly once in the bootstrapping phase at startup, after that time connections are made dynamically.
This means that at least one of the servers listed in initialServers must already be running when the server starts or the server might never become introduced and connected to all the other servers in the network.

Previous: Deprecated Names and Functions
Originally,
MPI-1.1
provided bindings for Fortran 77.
These bindings are retained,
but they are now interpreted in the
context of the Fortran 90 standard. MPI can still
be used with most Fortran 77 compilers, as noted below.
When the term Fortran is used it means Fortran 90.
All MPI names have an MPI_ prefix, and all characters are
capitals. Programs must not declare variables, parameters, or
functions with names beginning with the prefix MPI_. To avoid
conflicting with the profiling interface, programs should also avoid
functions with the prefix PMPI_.
This is mandated to avoid possible name collisions.
All MPI Fortran subroutines have a return code in the last argument. A few
MPI operations which are functions do not have the return code argument.
The return code value for successful completion is
MPI_SUCCESS. Other error codes are implementation dependent;
see the error codes in
Chapter MPI Environmental Management
and Annex Language Bindings Summary
.
Constants representing the maximum length of a string are one smaller
in Fortran than in C and C++ as discussed in Section Constants
.
Handles are represented in Fortran as INTEGERs. Binary-valued
variables are of type LOGICAL.
Array arguments are indexed from one.
The MPI Fortran binding is inconsistent with the Fortran 90
standard in several respects. These
inconsistencies, such as register optimization problems,
have
implications for user codes that are discussed in detail
in Section A Problem with Register Optimization
. They are also inconsistent with
Fortran 77.
- An MPI subroutine with a choice argument may be
called with different argument types.
- An MPI subroutine with an assumed-size dummy argument may
be passed an actual scalar argument.
- Many MPI routines assume that actual arguments are
passed by address and that arguments are not copied on
entrance to or exit from the subroutine.
- An MPI implementation may read or modify user data (e.g.,
communication buffers used by nonblocking communications) concurrently
with a user program executing outside MPI calls.
- Several named ``constants,'' such as MPI_BOTTOM,
MPI_STATUS_IGNORE, and MPI_ERRCODES_IGNORE,
are not ordinary Fortran constants and require a special
implementation. See Section Named Constants
on
page Named Constants
for more information.
Additionally, MPI is inconsistent with Fortran 77 in a number of
ways, as noted below.
- MPI identifiers exceed 6 characters.
- MPI identifiers may contain underscores after the first character.
- MPI requires an include file, mpif.h. On systems
that do not support include files, the implementation should specify
the values of named constants.
- Many routines in
MPI
have KIND-parameterized integers
(e.g., MPI_ADDRESS_KIND and MPI_OFFSET_KIND)
that hold address information.
On systems that do not support Fortran 90-style parameterized
types, INTEGER*8 or INTEGER should be used instead.
- The memory allocation routine MPI_ALLOC_MEM
cannot
be usefully used in Fortran without a language extension that allows
the allocated memory to be associated with a Fortran variable.

WITHOUT LIMITS
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Warner Bros./Cruise-Wagner Productions Director: Robert Towne Writer: Robert Towne, Kenny Moore Cast: Billy Crudup, Donald Sutherland, Monica Potter
Steve Prefontaine may not have been able to catch a football as well as Air Bud, the other great athlete photographed this year, nor could he sink baskets like that strapping canine. But take the two out for eight laps around the track and he'd probably give the retriever a run for the gold. Steve Prefontaine, considered the greatest American track athlete of his time, was a charismatic chap who could be counted on the ignite the crowds from Eugene to Munich, a young man who proved that you don't have to be a football hero to get along with all the pretty girls. Robert Towne directs this story in a fairly straightforward way: it is, at base, a conventional biopic. Nonetheless--perhaps even because of its orthodoxy--it is as inspirational as Hugh Hudson's 1981 "Chariot of Fire" albeit without that director's probing insight. Towne tends to throw in one too many close-ups of feet as he did in his 1982 study of a lesbian relatioship during the 1980 Olympics, "Personal Best." While Towne does not spend too much time rummaging about Prefontaine's compulsion to win, he knows how to excite his audience using Conrad Hall's slo- mo photography with discretion and a booming sound track pulsating with Randy Miller's original music.
Towne introduces the young Pre, as he became affectionately known, a grade-schooler frequently chased by the town bullies presumably because of his German background and accent. Cut to his final year of high school where the athlete is juggling several offers of full track scholarships. He has decided to choose his home state's U. of Oregon if only its famed coach would personally invite him to attend. The principal conflict set up by Towne and Kenny Moore's script is between Pre (Billy Crudup) and coach Bill Bowerman (Donald Sutherland), the man who eventually designed the Nike running shoe. Pre stubbornly insists on leading the race from start to finish, holding that "it's chickenshit to win any other way." Bowerman warns that when world-class competition arrived in the coming Olympics, his protege would have to pace himself and save his energy for the final laps. Morever, said the coach, the lead runner would cut the wind from the second-place competitor, making the latter's job all too easy. Why the drive to be first at all times? Towne implies that the pressure came from Pre's frequently having to outrun bullies a decade earlier. But in the less sympathetic film by Steve James, "Prefontaine" (starring Jared Leto), the athlete was seen as a boastful, somewhat unsympathetic young man who once refused even to allow a nine-year-old to beat him for fun.
Pre and Coach Bill exchange philosophies time and again, with the runner holding that his ability to win came from his willingness to endure pain more than the next guy. Bowerman countered with what is probably the truer interpretation: talent is the key. "Your heart pumps more blood and the bones in your feet are made for the tough asphalt." Philosophy, of course, is not what we came to this film for, and Towne gives us plenty of action, mostly on the field, a little in the boudoir. In the University of Oregon's celebrated field, in Finland, and in Munich, Pre is the crowd favorite, with thousands of fans stomping their feet and shouting "Pre" as though the runner were the highest-paid basketball player in his country. In fact he remained an amateur throughout his life, forced to fly tourist class and given a pittance to live on while traveling. He dated many women but his favorite was the religious and celibate Mary Marckx (performed by the terminally adorable Monica Potter), a young woman who played hard-to-get at first as she was put off by his popularity with the fair sex. Ms. Potter, however, does little more than look great and mug from time to time for the camera.
"Without Limits" is a sturdy, hero-worshipping picture that underplays the boasting which made Pre less sympathetic in last year's version by Hollywood Pictures. It features solid acting by Billy Crudup who obviously trained hard for the role and Donald Sutherland who wears his characteristic grin for the major part of the picture. The crowd scenes look authentic and each time Crudup lets the asphalt fly, any feeling person in the audience must feel his heart skip about as much as would a runner who is at least jogging the 5,000 meters. For the record, Steve Prefontaine was killed at the age of 24 by a hit-and-run driver, having just turned down an offer of $200,000 to go professional. He was intent on competing in the Montreal Olympics, an event off-limits to those who make a living from the sport.

When components are created by two threads concurrently, with the intention of the instance being cached, it is possible in a small percentage of cases for the first instance into the cache to be replaced with a second instance. To prevent this, you may want to try one of two behaviors to make the operation thread safe.
Synchronizing wraps object creation in Java's classic synchronize feature:
pico = new DefaultPicoContainer(new Synchronizing().wrap(new Caching())); pico.addComponent(Apple.class); Apple a1 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); Apple a2 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); // both the same instance
pico = new DefaultPicoContainer(); pico.as(SYNCHRONIZE, CACHE).addComponent(Apple.class); Apple a1 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); Apple a2 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); // both the same instance
pico = new PicoBuilder().withSynchronizing().withCaching().build(); pico.addComponent(Apple.class); Apple a1 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); Apple a2 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); // both the same instance
import static org.picocontainer.behaviors.Behaviors.synchronizing; import static org.picocontainer.behaviors.Behaviors.caching; ... pico = new PicoBuilder().withBehaviors(synchronizing(), caching()).build(); pico.addComponent(Apple.class); Apple a1 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); Apple a2 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); // both the same instance
Locking wraps object creation in JDK 1.5's ReentrantLock facility. It is suggested that this is a more efficient alternative to the Synchronizing behaviour above:
pico = new DefaultPicoContainer(new Locking().wrap(new Caching())); pico.addComponent(Apple.class); Apple a1 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); Apple a2 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); // both the same instance
pico = new DefaultPicoContainer(); pico.as(LOCK, CACHE).addComponent(Apple.class); Apple a1 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); Apple a2 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); // both the same instance
pico = new PicoBuilder().withLocking().withCaching().build(); pico.addComponent(Apple.class); Apple a1 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); Apple a2 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); // both the same instance
import static org.picocontainer.behaviors.Behaviors.locking; import static org.picocontainer.behaviors.Behaviors.caching; ... pico = new PicoBuilder().withBehaviors(synchronizing(), caching()).build(); pico.addComponent(Apple.class); Apple a1 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); Apple a2 = pico.getComponent(Apple.class); // both the same instance

There are a lot of sections in our society that need our immediate help. There are a lot of issues that need to be solved. But, these issues can only be solved when we all unite together and find some concrete solutions to the problems. India has a population of about 133.92 crores people. These issues can only be solved efficiently when each and every citizen makes a small contribution from his or her side. And, small contributions do make a large difference. Empowerange provides you the platform to make some contributions from your side and help in making this society, and India, a better place for everyone.
