DZone 's Guide to
Event-Driven Microservices With Spring Boot and ActiveMQ
A guide to using Spring Boot and ActiveMQ for event-driven microservices.
· Microservices Zone ·
Free Resource
Most communications between microservices are either via HTTP request-response APIs or asynchronous messaging. While these two mechanisms are most commonly used, yet they're quite different. It is important to know when to use which mechanism.
Event-driven communication is important when propagating changes across several microservices and their related domain models. This means that when changes occur, we need some way to coordinate changes across the different models. This ensures reliable communication as well as loose coupling between microservices.
There are multiple patterns to achieve event-driven architecture. One of the common and popular patterns is the messaging pattern. It is extremely scalable, flexible, and guarantees delivery of messages. There are several tools that can be used for messaging pattern such as RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, Apache Kafka and so on.
Messaging Pattern
In this article, we are going to build microservices using Spring Boot and we will set up the ActiveMQ message broker to communicate between microservices asynchronously.
Building Microservices
Let us create two Spring Boot projects ' activemq-sender ' and ' activemq-receiver '. Here is the sample project structure.
 Sample Project Structure
We need to add maven dependency spring-boot-starter-activemq to enable ActiveMQ. Here is a sample pom.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="_URL_
 xmlns:xsi="_URL_
 xsi:schemaLocation="_URL_ _URL_
 <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
 <groupId>com.techshard.activemqsender</groupId>
 <artifactId>activemq-sender</artifactId>
 <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
 <parent>
 <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
 <version>2.1.6.RELEASE</version>
 <relativePath />
 </parent>
 <properties>
 <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
 <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
 </properties>
 <dependencies>
 <dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-activemq</artifactId>
 </dependency>
 </dependencies>
</project>
Configuring Publisher
In the project activemq-sender, we will first configure a queue. Create a JmsConfig class as follows.
package com.techshard.activemq.configuration;
import org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQQueue;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.jms.annotation.EnableJms;
import javax.jms.Queue;
@Configuration
public class JmsConfig {
 @Bean
 public Queue queue(){
 return new ActiveMQQueue("test-queue");
 }
}
The above class just declares a bean Queue and our queue name would be test-queue. Note: queue names can also be read from application properties. This is just an example.
Now, let's create a REST API which will be used to publish the message to the queue.
package com.techshard.activemq.controller;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.jms.core.JmsTemplate;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import javax.jms.Queue;
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class MessageController {
 @Autowired
 private Queue queue;
 @Autowired
 private JmsTemplate jmsTemplate;
 @GetMapping("message/{message}")
 public ResponseEntity<String> publish(@PathVariable("message") final String message){
 jmsTemplate.convertAndSend(queue, message);
 return new ResponseEntity(message, HttpStatus.OK);
 }
}
In the controller, we will inject the bean Queue which we declared before and we will also inject JmsTemplate.
To send or receive messages through JMS, we need to establish a connection to the JMS provider and obtain a session. JmsTemplate is a helper class that simplifies sending and receiving of messages through JMS and gets rid of boilerplate code.
We have now created a simple API endpoint that will accept a string as a parameter and puts it in the queue.
Configuring Consumer
In the project activemq-receiver, create a component class as follows:
package com.techshard.activemq.consumer;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.jms.annotation.EnableJms;
import org.springframework.jms.annotation.JmsListener;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
@Component
@EnableJms
public class MessageConsumer {
 private final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MessageConsumer.class);
 @JmsListener(destination = "test-queue")
 public void listener(String message){
 logger.info("Message received {} ", message);
 }
}
In this class, we have an annotated method with @JmsListenerand we have passed the queue name test-queue which we configured in the publisher. @JmsListener is used for listening to any messages that are put on the queue test-queue.
Notice that we have an annotated class with @EnableJms. As Spring documentation says @EnableJms enables detection of JmsListener annotations on any Spring-managed bean in the container."
The interesting point here is that Spring Boot detects the methods even without @EnableJms annotation. This issue has been reported on Stackoverflow.
Creating Spring Boot Applications
In both the projects, create an "Application" class annotated with @SpringBootApplication as below.
package com.techshard.activemq;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support.SpringBootServletInitializer;
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
 }
}
Installing ActiveMQ
I have installed ActiveMQ by downloading here. We can also use Spring Boot's embedded ActiveMQ for testing purposes. Once you have installed, the ActiveMQ server should be available at http://localhost:8161/admin and we will see the following welcome page.
 ActiveMQ Home Page
Configuring ActiveMQ
In both the projects, create application.properties file and add the following properties.
spring.activemq.broker-url=tcp://localhost:61616
spring.activemq.user=admin
spring.activemq.password=admin
ActiveMQ supports multiple protocols to connect to the message broker. In this example, we will be using the OpenWire protocol.
That's it!
Testing ActiveMQ
Before running the applications, make sure to change the server port for one of the projects. The embedded tomcat server runs on the port 8080 by default.
Run both the applications and run the URL http://localhost:8080/api/message/Welcome to ActiveMQ! in browser or any REST API testing tool.
In the consumer application, we will see the following log in console

The Tukudika, or Sheep Eater, Indians were a band of Mountain Shoshone that lived for thousands of years in the area that would become Yellowstone National Park. Throughout the park, archaeological sites reflect use of resources within this landscape by the Tukudika and other Native American tribes.
The Name Tukudika
Traditionally, Shoshone names were derived from places the bands traveled to or from foods they hunted or gathered. Tukudika (also Tukudyka'a, Tukadika) means "eaters of the mountain sheep." The Tukudika lived in northwestern Wyoming, southwestern Montana, and eastern Idaho. Related bands bore the names "salmon eaters," "elk eaters," and "bison eaters."
Because the name Sheep Eater can appear to equate these Indians with the bighorn sheep itself, the term was once considered derogatory. The name Sheep Eater suggests a Shoshone social hierarchy on which the Tukudika occupied one of the lowest rungs: whereas other Shoshone bands were hunting and consuming the "grander" bison and elk, the Tukudika were hunting the "inferior," elusive, mountain-dwelling bighorn sheep. Contemporary understanding of this name is more nuanced. The name does not signify that Tukudika ate only bighorn sheep; it means, simply, that the bighorn sheep was this group's primary source of meat. Indeed, the Tukudika's diet consisted of at least 50% plants, roots, nuts, and berries. However, the visceral connection between the Tukudika and the bighorn sheep is undeniable, for the Indians made their hunting bows from the same animal these weapons were designed to kill.
Traveling in extended-family groups, the Tukudika followed the park's rivers and streams to hunt game, harvest plants, and find suitable campsites. They traveled to higher elevations in the warmer months and stayed at lower elevations, often outside "park" boundaries, during the colder months. According to the Shoshone-Bannock tribes of southeastern Idaho, some Tukudika stayed in the park year-round.
Obsidian Cliff is important to Tukudika culture. When they lived in the park, the Tukudika quarried obsidian (dupi or tuupi) at this site. Working in family groups, the Indians quarried pits atop Obsidian Cliff with shovels made from bison or elk bone. (Archaeologists have identified and studied more than 50 obsidian quarries at this site.) After quarrying the obsidian (volcanic glass), the Tukudika worked the material with elk antlers. A cantaloupe-sized rock yielded two to three arrowheads. Because of its sharpness, obsidian was the primary material for arrowheads and tools. It played roles in medicine and religion as well.
The Tukudika paired arrowheads manufactured from obsidian and other stone materials with well-designed, extremely durable hunting bows made from the horns and sinews of bighorn sheep. The Indians soaked the horns in geothermal waters to soften them, then shaped the pliable horns into bows. These highly effective bows were sought-after objects which the Tukudika traded with other tribes throughout the Rocky Mountains and the Northern Plains. Sheepskin was used to make distinctive, high-quality clothing, another desirable trade good from this Native American group.
The Tukudika were skillful hunters. They designed drive lines and corrals to aid in the hunting of bighorn sheep, and they built fish traps of stone and timber. Unlike most other Indian tribes of the western United States, including other bands of Shoshone, the Tukudika did not adopt the horse. Instead, they continued to hunt on foot, accompanied by dogs (satii, sadee). These medium to large dogs resembled both wolves and huskies and served as both work dogs and companions. Some scholars have speculated that hunting on horseback would have hindered the group's techniques for alpine hunting. Dogs were used to pull travois (two-pole sleds) laden with game or belongings. Evidence that Native Americans, possibly Tukudika, were buried with their dogs has been found throughout the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
For cooking and storage, the Tukudika made bowls and other containers out of steatite, or soapstone, a metamorphic rock soft enough to scratch with a fingernail. Although steatite is a soft stone, it is surprisingly durable. Steatite deposits are plentiful throughout the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, but archaeologists have not yet determined whether this material was quarried in the park. Some archaeologists claim the vessels were cached and returned to, season after season. Others interpret the containers as heirlooms or as ceremonial vessels and maintain that the Tukudika would have transported them from site to site. These bowls are distinct from Intermountain Ware, a type of pottery made from different clays and tempers and associated with other Shoshone groups. The Heritage and Research Center (HRC) in Gardiner, Montana, houses several steatite bowls and pottery sherds found in the park.
The Tukudika built simple yet versatile shelters composed of curved lodgepole and grass thatching. When situated against a rock face, these newe-gahni (Shoshone houses, houses built to suit a specific purpose) proved sturdy and resistant to the elements. These structures are similar to, but probably distinct from, the wickiup, or conical timber lodge, a structure found throughout the park and associated with several tribes.
The stories that a culture creates and transmits are rooted in that culture's traditions, customs, social mores, and belief system. When two cultures encounter one another, misunderstandings and conflicts can arise. In the Rocky Mountain West, some of the first recorded stories of encounter between European-Americans and American Indians came from Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery expedition of 1804-6. Thirty years later, Osborne Russell, a young fur-trapper, wrote some of the first descriptions of European-American—Tukudika encounters in the park. In 1835, he met a small group of Tukudika in the Lamar Valley, and he portrayed them favorably, if somewhat romantically. Other explorers and trappers were not so open-minded. Many accounts were one-sided, prejudiced, fearful, or even hostile. These stories and reports failed to consider the Indians' agency, self-sufficiency, and vast knowledge of Yellowstone's landscape and resources.
The Tukudika continued to inhabit the landscape for several years after Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872. By 1900, the Tukudika had been incorporated into the Eastern Shoshone tribe of the Wind River Reservation in central-western Wyoming, and into the Mountain and Lemhi Shoshone and Bannock tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation in southeastern Idaho. Once confined to reservations, the Tukudika suffered the partial collapse of their traditional lifeways. Although the Tukudika continued to live traditionally for a generation or two after their removal to reservations, they eventually adapted to the ways of these other tribes, whose own cultural practices had already been altered by their earlier removal to reservations.
Today, some Tukudika descendants live on both of the aforementioned reservations. Some of these descendants prefer the name Mountain People to Tukudika or Sheep Eater for its emphasis upon place rather than food source.

Genealogy Friday: Why Family Reunions Are Dying Out
posted in: Family Reunion, Genealogy | 0
Recently, I had someone ask when we were going to have the next family reunion. I honestly answered "I don't know."
With over 500+ descendants living, we are lucky to have the same faithful group of about thirty to attend each year. We've noticed that there just is not a large interest in getting together.
That same weekend, I saw a large family group that had gathered for an extended holiday weekend. This family of 80+ individuals had gathered from not only all over the country, but some members even came from other parts of the world. On top of that, they all attended church together.
It is important to gather and celebrate being a family and our ancestors
I wondered, why they had such a wonderful turn out when other family reunions are dying out.
So why are family reunions dying out?
 1. The younger generation has no interest in getting together. Often they do not even know who the reunion is for or how they are related to this family group.
 2. The older generations are dying out and have not shared stories and memories of their family. On several lines of my family, as well as numerous other family's I've talked with, this is a common reason that family reunion has not continued.
 3. No one has an interest in stepping up and taking over the planning of the family reunion.
 4. There are too many other obligations, distractions and commitments to be met. This is especially true with families that have children involved in sports and/or the arts.
 5. Illness can often affect families so that individuals are unable to attend.
 6. Finances can affect individuals, depending on the distance of travel and other financial obligations for the reunion.
 7. No interest in family history. Sadly, this is still very common, especially with the younger generations. They have no interest in their roots or where they came from.
What are some reasons you've discovered family reunions are dying out?

Halfway Home – The Rehabilitation of New Zealand Second World War POWs in Britain
While suffering through monotony and deprivations, New Zealand Second World War POWs mentally escaped their confines by imagining their eventual return home. They envisaged returning to a world free from the woes of captivity and war. This paper examines their rehabilitation in Britain. While Britain was not New Zealand, the prisoners expected it to conform to their idealised version of home. However, this paper argues prisoners experienced difficulties during their rehabilitation, and they were destabilised when confronted with the continued presence of the war and captivity.

New Penguin Habitat at Aquarium of the Pacific Powered by Clean Energy from Honda Solar Panels
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., founding sponsor of the nonprofit Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, is providing Honda solar cell technology to help power the Aquarium's new June Keyes Penguin Habitat. The 11-kilowatt system provides a reliable supply of clean energy that is expected to reduce the Aquarium's reliance on grid-supplied electricity by more than 14,000 kilowatt hours per year. The new June Keyes Penguin Habitat opened to the public May 17, 2012.
This is the first public demonstration of Honda's solar panels in the United States. Honda currently has thin film solar panels installed in 22 Honda facilities worldwide including the company's motorsports engineering facility in Santa Clarita, Calif. and an auto manufacturing plant in Indiana. Honda's longstanding relationship with the Aquarium prompted this public debut. Since 1998, Honda has assisted with the Aquarium's important efforts for marine conversation, education and community outreach programs.
"Deploying Honda solar cell technology in the new penguin habitat is a great expression of our company's focus on advanced environmental technology, as well as environmental education and conservation. It's really a perfect match," said Stephan Morikawa, assistant vice president, Corporate Community Relations, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "We are honored to support the Aquarium's mission in this way."
Honda CIGS thin-film solar panels use a thin-film compound of copper, indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS) that require less raw material, energy and related CO2 emissions to manufacture than conventional crystal silicon solar cells. CIGS panels are substantially thinner than traditional solar panels and enable stable power generation even when the cells are in the shade. The panels are manufactured and marketed by Honda Soltec, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
The June Keyes Penguin Habitat, a permanent new exhibit at the Aquarium, houses Magellanic penguins typically found near the southern tip of South America. Today, environmental issues are threatening their survival in the wild. The habitat includes educational exhibit panels and interactive touch screens where visitors can learn about penguins and why 75 percent of them are endangered or threatened.
"Some of our penguins were rescued and by telling their story we hope people will help penguins in the wild by decreasing their carbon emissions, choosing sustainable seafood, reducing pollution, and protecting areas where these penguins breed and forage," said Dr. Jerry R. Schubel, Aquarium of the Pacific president.
Honda Environmental Vision
Striving to achieve the Honda Environmental Vision of "realizing the joy and freedom of mobility and a sustainable society where people can enjoy life," in 2011 Honda established new voluntary targets for the reduction of CO2 emissions from its products, factories and office operations globally in order to address the critical issues of climate change and energy sustainability. At the same time, Honda introduced a global environmental slogan, "Blue Skies for Our Children," that draws directly from Honda's environmental heritage.
Based on this vision, Honda is deploying a comprehensive portfolio of advanced engine and powertrain technologies that includes more fuel-efficient gasoline-powered automobiles, powersports and power equipment products, as well as advanced gas-electric hybrid, battery electric and fuel cell electric automobiles. Honda is also working to develop advanced energy production and distribution technologies, such as solar cells, electricity and heat co-generation systems, and more efficient means of producing renewable biofuels.

Effectiveness of (R,Q) policies in one-warehouse multiretailer systems with deterministic demand and backlogging
Consider a distribution system with a central warehouse and multiple retailers. Customer demand arrives at each of the retailers continuously at a constant rate. The retailers replenish their inventories from the warehouse which in turn orders from an outside supplier with unlimited stock. There are economies of scale in replenishing the inventories at both the warehouse and the retail level. Stockouts at the retailers are backlogged. The system incurs holding and backorder costs. The objective is to minimize the long-run average total cost in the system. This paper studies the cost effectiveness of (R, Q) policies in the above system. Under an (R, Q) policy, each facility orders a fixed quantity Q from its supplier every time its inventory position reaches a reorder point R. It is shown that (R, Q) policies are at least 76% effective. Numerical examples are provided to further illustrate the cost effectiveness of (R, Q) policies.

Polygon Boundaries Side by Side
Hello. I'm trying to show two polygons with two different color outlines, however, where the two polygon boundaries intersect, one of the outlines will overlap the other. I want to be able to show the two boundaries next to each other rather than having one overlap the other. Please see attached file for an example of what I am looking for.
Mapping Center Answer:
There is no automated way to do what you're asking for. However, by converting your symbology to cartographic representations, you can manually adjust the symbol geometry for the polygons that share an edge to produce the outcome you want.
Once you convert the symbols to representations, and start editing, you will use the Direct Select tool on the representation toolbar to select the shared portion of the geometry of one polygon, and then use the Move Parallel tool to move that edge.
Here is the help topic about selecting a portion of a representation's geometry.

Experience the photographic and aural history of the East Perth Power Power Station, from its beginning in 1916, through to its decommission in 1980.
This website takes you to East Perth in the 20th century to visit East Perth Power Station, the people who worked there, the children who grew up in its shadow, the local residents who lived close by and the consumers who used the electricity which the station generated. It tells of Aboriginal families who lived in East Perth and of the changing riverfront as industries grew and then moved out to newer suburbs. The power station together with other local industries had significant environmental impacts on the locality.
For much of the 20th century East Perth was the city's major industrial area and, from 1916 to 1980, the power station was one of the suburb's major workplaces. The workers who kept the station generating tell their work stories of power shortages and of the skilled efforts of everyone to keep the lights on and the city's industries, businesses and transport functioning. They tell of what work was like in a major heavy industrial workplace.
The station remains a heritage landmark, a site with engineering plant of world heritage significance.
East Perth Power Station lies at the heart of the electrification of Perth and at the beginnings of the southwest power grid. It deserves to be recognised and remembered as central to the fabric of life in 20th century Perth.
In turn, in highlighting our ever-expanding consumption of electricity, the station reminds us of the environmental limits to that consumption and the questions of sustainability which confront us in the 21st century.

What is the difference between UCC SSL certificates and Unlimited Wildcard Sub Domains SSL certificates?
UCC SSLs and Wildcard SSLs serve different purposes when securing website addresses.
UCC SSLs secure a limited (5,10,15, etc.) amount of specific domain names. These do not necessary need to be sub domains. For example, you may secure domain1.com, domain1.net, domain2.com and shop.domain2.com.
A Wildcard SSL only secures subdomains of the given domain name, but can secure an unlimited number of subdomains. For example, a Wildcard SSL would secure domain1.com, shop.domainX.com, email.domainX.com as well as any other subdomain of *.domainX.com, but could not secure domainY.com.
So a UCC may be a lot better deal if you need to secure multiple different domains. A wildcard SSL may be the best choice to secure multiple sub domains on the same root domain name.
Unified Communications Certificates (UCC) are SSL Certificates that secure multiple domains and multiple hostnames within a domain. They allow you to secure a primary domain, and up to 99 additional Subject Alternative Names, in a single certificate. UC Certificates are ideal for Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2010, and Microsoft Live® Communications Server.
A Wildcard SSL certificate secures your website URL, and an unlimited number of its subdomains. A single Wildcard certificate can secure both _URL_, and blog.coolexample.com.
Wildcard certificates secure all of the subdomains at the level you specify when you submit your request. Just add an asterisk (*) in the subdomain area of the common name where you want to specify the wildcard. For example:
If you configure *.yourdomainname.com, you can secure
If you configure *.www.yourdomainname.com, you can secure
Wildcard certificates secure websites the same as a regular SSL certificate, and requests are processed using the same validation methods. However, some Web servers might require a unique IP address for each subdomain on the Wildcard certificate.

I had a question about the specifics of finding a raw material deposit when prospecting squares with no already-known deposits. Are the locations of deposits pre-determined when the planet was created (or at some other specific time), or is a new deposit created when a scan is performed based on the probability given in the rules?
For example, lets say that from the equation given in the mining rules, I have a 20% chance of finding a deposit on a given scan of a square with no current known deposit. I then prospect that square. Which of the following scenarios is then true:
1. The database is checked to see if a deposit is there (one yet to be found). If a true comes back, there is then a 20% chance of finding it. If a false comes back, there is a 0% chance of finding it.
2. No such database exists. There is a 20% chance that a deposit is found, and if successful a new deposit appears.
If the latter is true, it seems that I could find a deposit on any square with a non-zero terrain probability if I just scan for long enough. (In the above example, I would have a 96% probability of finding something in the first 15 scans.)
In the rules it says "only 1 deposit can be found on a square at any given time," which makes me think that (2) is correct.
Sorry if this is a long question, but I wanted to be clear.
Screwed by Administrators who run the game with secret rules.
I was unaware of a percentage chance of locating. I believed the terrain with a deposit is given a certain number. If the number you have based on number of scanners and you're comp ops skill is higher then you find the deposit, if not you don't and won't until you make that number higher then the terrains.

First Feed is a plant food specially formulated for young plants. It is suitable for growing on rooted cuttings or established seedlings.
It is formulated from the same high grade salts that we use for all our food but at a concentration and balance that is correct for young plants. First feed contains trace elements at full strength allowing the young plants to develop with no shortages of traces which can happen if using a dilute grow food. First feed also contains a seaweed extract that will provide the young plants with a boost of micronutrients and hormones.
This will allow the plants to establish and start growing quickly and with the minimum of stress.(If the plant is provided with a hormone it does not have to make it, so can respond to it immediately thus growing quickly and with less effort).

If you hear a flight attendant give a little sigh when you order a Diet Coke, you're about to learn why. According to a flight attendant on the flight blog These Golden Wings, Diet Coke takes the longest amount of time to pour. The author explains that high altitude makes carbonated drinks foam up more, and Diet Coke is the worst. The blog entry reads, "Pouring Diet Coke is one the biggest slow-downs in bar service and on shorter flights those precious seconds count!" A study by Illinois State University confirms that Diet Coke has higher levels of carbon dioxide than regular Coke, making it more fizzy, even on the ground.

A little mind candy for the middle of your day
Students Call for Salt Water Taffy to Become NJ's Official Candy
View Comments ()
 Students from Samsel Elementary school in Sayreville, N.J. will do their part in an effort to make salt water taffy the state's offical candy. (Published Thursday, June 5, 2014)
 New Jersey has an official state bird (the goldfinch), flower (the common violet), tree (the red oak), fish (the brook trout), folk dance (the square dance), bug (the honeybee) and even a dinosaur (Hadrosaurus foulkii). One lawmaker reckons that what New Jersey needs now is an official state candy.
 Assemblyman John Wisniewski is pushing a bill to honor salt water taffy with the designation. He introduced it after meeting with students at Sayreville's Samsel Upper Elementary School for a lesson on how a bill becomes law. The measure cleared an Assembly committee on Thursday.
 Wisniewski had asked the students to come up with something that deserved to become a law. They wanted to name an official state candy and chose salt water taffy, which was invented in Atlantic City as a popular souvenir of a trip to the shore in the late 19th century. (The sugar-laden confection does not actually contain any salt water.)
 Testifying Thursday before the Assembly tourism committee in Trenton, fifth-grader Tyler Graham said designating an official state candy can help boost tourism at the Jersey shore in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
 "Wouldn't it be nice to give citizens a reason to come to the shore and purchase the official state candy?" he asked.
 Atlantic City became the epicenter of the salt water taffy world, with confectioners Enoch James, Joseph Fralinger and William Shriver founding taffy and candy companies bearing their names.
 The bill now goes to the full Assembly.
 Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri Huttle commended the students and thanked them for the samples they passed out.
 "My favorite flavor is banana and chocolate," she said. "I already had one."
 Assemblyman Ralph Caputo said, "The lesson is that when you become a legislator, you get to have candy before lunch."

A coworker has been tasked with adding check-in and check-out functionality from within an InfoPath 2010 form. Is this possible?
This is a typical use case:
 1. User is browsing a SharePoint Form Library and wants to edit a form
 2. User forgets to checkout form before opening the form in the browser
 3. User wants to edit form immediate without going back to SP UI to check-out document manually.
 4. User clicks on an 'edit' button we've added to the form which sets all fields to editable. This should also check-out the form from SharePoint.
 5. User goes about editing the document, and clicks submit (another custom button, from what I understand). At this point the form is submitted and should be checked-in to Sharepoint.
Is any of this possible?

1 Answer 1
There is an option in List Advanced Settings to require check-out to edit a document. This would solve the problem of the user forgetting. I am not sure you can check-out the document once it is open but it can be done a few ways:
 - sandbox code-behind in the InfoPath form
 - the Lists.ASMX web service

Does your canine attempt to catch bees in your each day stroll or in your yard? Sadly for our canines, tiny bees who get plant pollen may cause a painful sore.
Canines might even eat and swallow flying bees, particularly if their mouths are open whereas taking part in or chasing. Understanding why your pooch is attracted to those flying creatures and how one can cease this unusual course of may also help you inform bees to come back out completely.
Why Do Canines Need to Eat Bees?
Kinds of Motion enthralls resembling Labrador Retrievers, English Springer Spaniels, and Pointers. Naturally they wish to chase and take away transferring issues – sheep, cattle, and even bees.
Some canines could also be curious and could also be aggravated by bees roaming their ears. That buzz may very well be what triggers the response. Canines can even chase bees as a result of they're enjoyable!
Sadly, some canines will probably be afraid of flying creatures after being bitten. This concern might encourage them to chase after bees extra vigorously than earlier than. This highly effective emotional response makes them offended or sad after they run after a stinging bee.
On the flip facet, some canines develop phobias with bees. They could present panic by fleeing from bees, trembling uncontrollably, or freezing after they see a bee – and this concern can unfold to different flying bugs.
Canines can develop a repulsive conduct, referred to as fly-snapping, with or with out flying bugs or bees. These canines will emerge from planes or visions. Different species, together with the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bernese Mountain Canine, usually tend to develop the illness. Fly-snapping can also be associated to well being: it's potential that the conduct is derived from a digestive downside. For those who assume your canine is barking, speak to your veterinarian.
What to Do If Your Canine Eats A Bee
Fortunately, the one hazard is a bee or wasp that places your canine in response to a sting.
Step one you want to take is to search out out in case your canine has eaten a bee, particularly you probably have not seen one consuming one. Have a look at the surface of their scents and lips. Take a superb have a look at the within of their mouths, together with the gums, tongue, and again of their throat.
In case your canine is affected by sting, you want to take away any seen sting (solely bee stings depart bricks). Don't reduce and take away the stinger – which may pressure extra toxins in your canine. Do your greatest to softly brush the bee sting. You are able to do this by inserting a bank card on their pores and skin and sliding it to at least one facet to faucet the steering wheel.
Your canine might cry or moan in ache, which might be quickly managed by gently inserting ice on the affected space.
Bees are toxic, not toxic. That implies that whereas bee stings can hurt your canine, you shouldn't have to fret about your canine being poisoned by the bee's digestion.
Purdue College Faculty of Veterinary Drugs notes that bees trigger delicate irritation, redness and seizures normally.
Bee venom can result in life-threatening bodily exercise. If you already know that your canine is allergic to bees, name a veterinarian instantly. Your veterinarian might advocate that you just give your canine a Benadryl pill. You have to to see a veterinarian instantly in order that they will look at your pup and presumably provide you with drugs. Don't give your canine every other drugs with out speaking to your veterinarian first.
Bees may cause swelling, shortness of breath, fatigue, falls, cough, vomiting and diarrhea. In case your canine experiences these signs, it's time to name your veterinarian.
Sadly, bees can sting the within of your canine. If a bee bites your canine's tongue or throat, swelling of the fence can block your canine's breath. Swallowing a bee can even trigger abdomen issues.
In extreme circumstances, repeated bites can generally result in shock and harm to inner organs.
You probably have not seen your canine eat a bee however suspect that they've eaten it, watch out for any signs for just a few days. For those who see your canine consuming a bee however you don't see any indicators, it's potential that the bee didn't chunk your canine and died. In case you are fearful, speak to your veterinarian!
How one can Stop Your Canine from Consuming Bees
The simplest technique to remove your canine's consuming habits is to make it possible for the bees can not get wherever close to them.
Start to maintain the bees from congregating close to your private home by eradicating any vegetation that entice bees. Different vegetation that entice bees are sunflowers, susan tied with blackey, salvia, goldenrod, lavender and roses. Alternatively, you possibly can add pure pesticides resembling mint, rosemary, basil and lavender.
One thing so simple as altering lanes shouldn't be sufficient to cease this conduct in case your canine is simply close to the bees in the course of the stroll. Your canine can't eat bees in the event that they aren't round!
You additionally want to show your beekeeper to remain calm. Opposition coaching may also help. The "cease it" command may also help your canine depart these flying bugs alone. Distracting your canine with a deal with or toy offers them one thing good to look out for as a substitute of bees.
In excessive circumstances, your canine might must put on a masks.
In case your canine's conduct is predicated on concern, you want to seek the advice of a veterinarian or veterinarian. Canines that show fear-related conduct may have treatment to deal with the issue.
Watching your canine chase and arrive rapidly at these noisy bees might be horrifying and worsening. Doing these workout routines may also help your canine companion remove these busy honey-producing employees.


How to customize a JBoss EAP 6 / WildFly Domain using Properties
User Rating: 5 / 5
Star ActiveStar ActiveStar ActiveStar ActiveStar Active

This article shows how you can customize a JBoss EAP 6 / WildFly running in domain mode using System properties.
It is assumed, when you choose the domain mode configuration that you plan to organize an homogeneous group of servers which are grouped in a Server Group and bound to a specific Profile. Nevertheless it is quite common that each server requires one or more specific settings. For example, you might need to choose a different datasource setting on each server of your domain. Another common requirement is to use a fixed port on every server of your domain.
Let's see how to achieve both examples.
Example 1: We have the following datasource definition in our domain:
<datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/MySQLDS" pool-name="MySQLDS" enabled="true" use-java-context="true">
 <connection-url>${connection-url}</connection-url>
 <driver>mysql</driver>
 <security>
 <user-name>mysql</user-name>
 <password>mysql</password>
 </security>
</datasource>
The connection URL has been set as a property. Where can we define the value for the System property ? The most specific way, is in the single servers definition (host.xml):
<servers>
 <server name="server-one" group="main-server-group">
 <system-properties>
 <property name="connection-url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myapp" boot-time="true"/>
 </system-properties>
 </server>
 . . .
</servers>
Properties can also be specified at host level (host.xml), which means that all servers which are controlled by a Host Controller will share that property:
<host name="master" xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:2.2">
 <system-properties>
 <property name="connection-url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myapp" boot-time="true"/>
 </system-properties>
. . .
</host>
You can also set the System property also at Server Group level (domain.xml), which means that all Server Groups of a Domain will share that property:
 <servers>
 <server name="server-one" group="main-server-group">
 <system-properties>
 <property name="connection-url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myapp" boot-time="false"/>
 </system-properties>
 </server>
. . .
</servers>
For the sake of completeness, we will mention that Properties can also be set at domain level (domain.xml). For example:
<domain xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:2.2">
 <extensions>
. . . .
 </extensions>
 <system-properties>
 <property name="connection-url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myapp" boot-time="true"/>
 </system-properties>
 . . . .
</domain>
The purpose of setting boot-time=true is to ensure the value is set at JVM launch (like setting with -D parameter), not waiting for management operations to execute
With all these possible choices, it can happen that a Property is defined at multiple levels. So which one will be actually used by your configuration or applications ? basically the most specific configuration overrides the one which is more generic. So the Server configuration overrides any other configuration, the Host configuration overrides the Server Group and Domain and son on. The following picture depicts the order of precedence when a Property is defined at multiple levels:
jboss wildfly domain system property
Example 2:
Another common scenario is to provide a specific port on each server of your domain. You can do it automatically using the port-offset attribute however this requires that each single port of your bindings will shift by that offset. Let's say you want to use a port offset of 100 units in your domain but use port 8888 and 8889 for server-one and server-two ?
In your socket-binding you can simply include a property value as port and set fixed-port to true:
<socket-binding-group name="full-sockets" default-interface="public">
 <socket-binding name="http" port="${jboss.http.port}" fixed-port="true"/>
 . . .
</socket-binding-group>
Then you can set the System Property at server level as shown in the following example, taken from the host.xml file of the Domain configuration:
<servers>
 <server name="server-one" group="main-server-group">
 <system-properties>
 <property name="jboss.http.port" value="8888" boot-time="true"/>
 </system-properties>
 </server>
 <server name="server-two" group="main-server-group" auto-start="true">
 <system-properties>
 <property name="jboss.http.port" value="8889" boot-time="true"/>
 </system-properties>
 <socket-bindings port-offset="100"/>
 </server>
</servers>

The traditional card games such as bridge and poker emulate a deck of playing cards. However, video games also allow players to compete within a simulated environment that takes them into a fantasy world. See MMOG, MMORPG and gaming.
Requested resource not found


in a shell file can
be configured by setting the following keys in the Dictionary
b:sh_indent_defaults to a specific amount or to a Funcref that references a
function that will return the amount desired:
b:sh_indent_options['default'] Default amount of indent.
b:sh_indent_options['continuation-line']
 Amount of indent to add to a continued line.
b:sh_indent_options['case-labels']
 Amount of indent to add for case labels.
 (not actually implemented)
b:sh_indent_options['case-statements']
 Amount of indent to add for case statements.
b:sh_indent_options['case-breaks']
 Amount of indent to add (or more likely
 remove) for case breaks.
VERILOG ft-verilog-indent
General block statements such as if, for, case, always, initial, function,
specify and begin, etc., are indented. The module block statements (first
level blocks) are not indented by default. you can turn on the indent with
setting a variable in the .vimrc as follows:
 let b:verilog_indent_modules = 1
then the module blocks will be indented. To stop this, remove the variable:
 :unlet b:verilog_indent_modules
To set the variable only for Verilog file. The following statements can be
used:
 au BufReadPost * if exists("b:current_syntax")
 au BufReadPost * if b:current_syntax == "verilog"
 au BufReadPost * let b:verilog_indent_modules = 1
 au BufReadPost * endif
 au BufReadPost * endif
Furthermore, setting the variable b:verilog_indent_width to change the
indenting width (default is 'shiftwidth'):
 let b:verilog_indent_width = 4
 let b:verilog_indent_width = shiftwidth() * 2
In addition, you can turn the verbose mode for debug issue:
 let b:verilog_indent_verbose = 1
Make sure to do ":set cmdheight=2" first to allow the display of the message.
VHDL ft-vhdl-indent
Alignment of generic/port mapping statements are performed by default. This
causes the following alignment example:
 ENTITY sync IS
 PORT (
 clk : IN STD_LOGIC;
 reset_n : IN STD_LOGIC;
 data_input : IN STD_LOGIC;
 data_out : OUT STD_LOGIC
 );
 END ENTITY sync;
To turn this off, add
 let g:vhdl_indent_genportmap = 0
to the .vimrc file, which causes the previous alignment example to change:
 ENTITY sync IS
 PORT (
 clk : IN STD_LOGIC;
 reset_n : IN STD_LOGIC;
 data_input : IN STD_LOGIC;
 data_out : OUT STD_LOGIC
 );
 END ENTITY sync;
----------------------------------------
Alignment of right-hand side assignment "<=" statements are performed by
default. This causes the following alignment example:
 sig_out <= (bus_a(1) AND
 (sig_b OR sig_c)) OR
 (bus_a(0) AND sig_d);
To turn this off, add
 let g:vhdl_indent_rhsassign = 0
to the .vimrc file, which causes the previous alignment example to change:
 sig_out <= (bus_a(1) AND
 (sig_b OR sig_c)) OR
 (bus_a(0) AND sig_d);
----------------------------------------
Full-line comments (lines that begin with "--") are indented to be aligned with
the very previous line's comment, PROVIDED that a whitespace follows after
"--".
For example:
 sig_a <= sig_b; -- start of a comment
 -- continuation of the comment
 -- more of the same comment
While in Insert mode, after typing "-- " (note the space " "), hitting CTRL-F
will align the current "-- " with the previous line's "--".
If the very previous line does not contain "--", THEN the full-line comment
will be aligned with the start of the next non-blank line that is NOT a
full-line comment.
Indenting the following code:
 sig_c <= sig_d; -- comment 0
 -- comment 1
 -- comment 2
 --debug_code:
 --PROCESS(debug_in)
 --BEGIN
 -- FOR i IN 15 DOWNTO 0 LOOP
 -- debug_out(8*i+7 DOWNTO 8*i) <= debug_in(15-i);
 -- END LOOP;
 --END PROCESS debug_code;
 -- comment 3
 sig_e <= sig_f; -- comment 4
 -- comment 5
results in:
 sig_c <= sig_d; -- comment 0
 -- comment 1
 -- comment 2
 --debug_code:
 --PROCESS(debug_in)
 --BEGIN
 -- FOR i IN 15 DOWNTO 0 LOOP
 -- debug_out(8*i+7 DOWNTO 8*i) <= debug_in(15-i);
 -- END LOOP;
 --END PROCESS debug_code;
 -- comment 3
 sig_e <= sig_f; -- comment 4
 -- comment 5
Notice that "--debug_code:" does not align with "-- comment 2"
because there is no whitespace that follows after "--" in "--debug_code:".
Given the dynamic nature of indenting comments, indenting should be done TWICE.
On the first pass, code will be indented. On the second pass, full-line
comments will be indented according to the correctly indented code.
VIM ft-vim-indent
 g:vim_indent
Vim scripts indentation can be configured with the g:vim_indent dictionary
variable. It supports 3 keys, line_continuation, more_in_bracket_block,
and searchpair_timeout.
line_continuation expects a number which will be added to the indent level of
a continuation line starting with a backslash, and defaults to
'shiftwidth() * 3' . It also accepts a string, which is evaluated at runtime.
more_in_bracket_block expects a boolean value; when on, an extra
shiftwidth() is added inside blocks surrounded with brackets. It defaults to
v:false.
searchpair_timeout expects a number which will be passed to searchpair() as
a timeout. Increasing the value might give more accurate results, but also
causes the indentation to take more time. It defaults to 100 (milliseconds).
Example of configuration:
 let g:vim_indent = #{
 \ line_continuation: shiftwidth() * 3,
 \ more_in_bracket_block: v:false,
 \ searchpair_timeout: 100,
 \ }
 g:vim_indent_cont
This variable is equivalent to g:vim_indent.line_continuation.
It's supported for backward compatibility.

As an e-commerce seller, you will need to collect sales tax in Louisiana if you have:
(1) gross revenue exceeding $100,000 during the current calendar or immediately preceding calendar year (economic nexus),
(2) Physical presence in Louisiana (physical nexus).
Below, we will highlight some of the basic provisions of Louisiana sales tax law.
What is the tax rate range for Louisiana?
State: Louisiana's general sales tax rate is 4.45%.
Local: Local jurisdictions can range from 0% to 8.5%.
Do you have physical or economic nexus in Louisiana?
Physical nexus. Certain business activities create physical nexus in Louisiana. If you have physical nexus, you are required to collect and remit sales tax on all taxable sales that are shipped to Louisiana. Physical presence includes, but is not limited to, the following activities in Louisiana, whether done permanently or temporarily, directly or indirectly, or through an agent or subsidiary:
- owning or operating retail spaces;
- owning, leasing, maintaining, occupying, or using, an office, place of distribution, sales or sample room, warehouse or storage place, or other place of business;
- having an employee, representative, agent, salesman, canvasser, or solicitor operating in Louisiana under the authority of the retailer or subsidiary; and
- storage of property in a third-party facility.
What is physical presence? (#3 in Frequently Asked Questions)
Economic nexus. Louisiana recognizes economic nexus for any vendor with $100,000 or more in gross revenue during the current calendar or immediately preceding calendar year. Once you have economic nexus established, you will be obligated to collect sales tax from buyers in the state.
- Remote sellers are required to register with the Louisiana Sales and Use Tax Commission for Remote Sellers ("Commission") no than 30 calendar days after meeting the economic nexus thresholds
- Remote sellers shall commence collection of state and local sales and use tax at actual rates and bases, once notified the Commission has approved the application, no later than 60 days after surpassing either of the criteria
- Remote sellers only use direct sales for delivery into Louisiana to calculate whether the economic nexus thresholds have been met.
- Sales made through a marketplace may be excluded because those sales determine whether the marketplace itself meets the economic nexus thresholds.
What are examples of sales of taxable items?
- Tangible personal property, unless an exemption applies
- Leases and rentals of tangible personal property
- Certain services
- Prepared food by certain establishments for on-premise consumption
- Software as a Service (SaaS)

| Volunteer Fire Assistance
Congress has determined that the protection of rural areas and rural communities from fire is of national interest therefore, there is a Federal role.
The purpose of the Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA)
Program, formerly known as the Rural Community Fire Protection (RCFP)
Program, is to provide Federal financial, technical, and other assistance
to State Foresters and other appropriate officials to organize, train
and equip fire departments in rural areas and rural communities to prevent
and suppress fires. A rural community is defined as having 10,000 or less
population. This 10,000 population limit for participation in the VFA
Program facilitates distribution of available VFA funding to the most
needy fire departments.
In spite of the abundance of nearby water, Missouri homes on the Lake of the Ozarks could be threatened if wildland fire strikes. Local, volunteer fire departments are the first line of defense for these houses nestled among the trees.

Junction temperature is a key parameter that influences both the performance and the reliability of the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module, while solder fatigue has a significant effect on the accuracy of junction temperature estimates using the electro-thermal model. In this paper, an improved electro-thermal model, which is independent of solder fatigue, is proposed to accurately estimate the junction temperature of IGBT module. Firstly, solder fatigue conditions are monitored in real time with the information of the case temperatures. Secondly, when solder fatigue is found, the update process of the electro-thermal model parameters is performed to match the model parameters with the fatigue device. With the above two-step process, the influence of solder fatigue on the accuracy of temperature estimates can be removed in good time. Experimental results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Best Practices for Three-Node Hybrid Deployment
For a TiDB cluster, if you have no requirements on high performance but need to control the cost, you can deploy the TiDB, TiKV, and PD components on three machines in a hybrid way.
This document offers an example of three-node hybrid deployment and a TPC-C test against the deployed cluster. Based on this example, this document offers best practices for the deployment scenario and its parameter adjustment.
Prerequisites for deployment and the test method
In this example, three physical machines are used for deployment, each with 16 CPU cores and 32 GB of memory. On each machine (node), one TiDB instance, one TiKV instance, and one PD instance are deployed in a hybrid way.
Because PD and TiKV both store information on the disk, the read and write latency of disk directly affects the latency of the PD and TiKV services. To avoid the situation that PD and TiKV compete for disk resources and affect each other, it is recommended to use different disks for PD and TiKV.
In this example, the TPC-C 5000 Warehouse data is used in TiUP bench and the test lasts 12 hours with the terminals parameter set to 128 (concurrency). Close attention is paid to metrics related to performance stability of the cluster.
The image below shows the QPS monitor of the cluster within 12 hours with the default parameter configuration. From the image, you can see an obvious performance jitter.
QPS with default config
After the parameter adjustment, the performance is improved.
QPS with modified config
Parameter adjustment
Performance jitter occurs in the image above, because the default thread pool configuration and the resource allocation to background tasks are for machines with sufficient resources. In the hybrid deployment scenario, the resources are shared among multiple components, so you need to limit the resource consumption via configuration parameters.
The final cluster configuration for this test is as follows:
 readpool.unified.max-thread-count: 6
 server.grpc-concurrency: 2
 storage.scheduler-worker-pool-size: 2
 gc.max-write-bytes-per-sec: 300K
 rocksdb.max-background-jobs: 3
 rocksdb.max-sub-compactions: 1
 rocksdb.rate-bytes-per-sec: "200M"
 performance.committer-concurrency: 4
 performance.max-procs: 8
The following sections introduce the meanings and the adjustment methods of these parameters.
Configuration of TiKV thread pool size
This section offers best practices for adjusting parameters that relate to the resource allocation of thread pools for foreground applications. Reducing these thread pool sizes will compromise performance, but in the hybrid deployment scenario with limited resources, the cluster itself is hard to achieve high performance. In this scenario, the overall stability of the cluster is preferred over performance.
If you conduct an actual load test, you can first use the default configuration and observe the actual resource usage of each thread pool. Then you can adjust the corresponding configuration items and reduce the sizes of the thread pools that have lower usage.
The default value of this parameter is 80% of the number of machine threads. In a hybrid deployment scenario, you need to manually calculate and specify this value. You can first set it to 80% of the expected number of CPU threads used by TiKV.
This parameter defaults to 4. Because in the existing deployment plan, the CPU resources are limited and the actual requests are few. You can observe the monitoring panel, lower the value of this parameter, and keep the usage rate below 80%.
In this test, the value of this parameter is set to 2. Observe the gRPC poll CPU panel and you can see that the usage rate is just around 80%.
When TiKV detects that the CPU core number of the machine is greater than or equal to 16, this parameter value defaults to 8. When the CPU core number is smaller than 16, the parameter value defaults to 4. This parameter is used when TiKV converts complex transaction requests to simple key-value reads or writes, but the scheduler thread pool does not performs any writes.
Ideally, the usage rate of the scheduler thread pool is kept between 50% and 75%. Similar to the gRPC thread pool, the storage.scheduler-worker-pool-size parameter defaults to a larger value during the hybrid deployment, which makes resource usage insufficient. In this test, the value of this parameter is set to 2, which is in line with the best practices, a conclusion drawn by observing the corresponding metrics in the Scheduler worker CPU panel.
Scheduler Worker CPU
Resource configuration for TiKV background tasks
In addition to foreground tasks, TiKV regularly sorts data and cleans outdated data in background tasks. The default configuration allocates sufficient resources to these tasks for the scenario of high-traffic writes.
However, in the hybrid deployment scenario, this default configuration is not in line with the best practices. You need to limit the resource usage of background tasks by adjusting the following parameters.
rocksdb.max-background-jobs and rocksdb.max-sub-compactions
The RocksDB thread pool is used to perform compaction and flush jobs. The default value of rocksdb.max-background-jobs is 8, which obviously exceeds the resource that is in need. Therefore, the value should be adjusted to limit the resource usage.
rocksdb.max-sub-compactions indicates the number of concurrent sub-tasks allowed for a single compaction job, which defaults to 3. You can lower this value when the write traffic is not high.
In the test, the rocksdb.max-background-jobs value is set to 3 and the rocksdb.max-sub-compactions value is set to 1. No write stall occurs during the 12-hour test with the TPC-C load. When optimizing the two parameter values according to the actual load, you can lower the values gradually based on monitoring metrics:
 - If write stall occurs, increase the value of rocksdb.max-background-jobs.
 - If the write stall persists, set the value of rocksdb.max-sub-compactions to 2 or 3.
This parameter is used to limit the disk traffic for the background compaction jobs. The default configuration has no limit for this parameter. To avoid the situation that compaction jobs occupy the resources of foreground services, you can adjust this parameter value according to the sequential read and write speed of the disk, which reserves enough disk bandwidth for foreground services.
The method of optimizing the RocksDB thread pool is similar to that of optimizing the compaction thread pool. You can determine whether the value you have adjusted is suitable according to whether write stall occurs.
Because TiDB uses the multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) model, TiKV periodically cleans old version data in the background. When the available resources are limited, this operation causes periodical performance jitter. You can use the gc.max_write_bytes_per_sec parameter to limit the resource usage of such an operation.
GC Impact
In addition to setting this parameter value in the configuration file, you can also dynamically adjust this value in tikv-ctl.
tiup ctl tikv --host=${ip:port} modify-tikv-config -n gc.max_write_bytes_per_sec -v ${limit}
In application scenarios with frequent updates, limiting GC traffic might cause the MVCC versions to pile up and affect read performance. Currently, to achieve a balance between performance jitter and performance decrease, you might need to try multiple times to adjust the value of this parameter.
TiDB parameter adjustment
Generally, you can adjust the TiDB parameters of execution operators using system variables such as tidb_hash_join_concurrency and tidb_index_lookup_join_concurrency.
In this test, these parameters are not adjusted. In the load test of your actual application, if the execution operators consume an excessive amount of CPU resources, you can limit the resource usage of specific operators according to your application scenario. For more details, see TiDB system variables.
This parameter is used to control how many CPU cores an entire Go process can use. By default, the value is equal to the number of CPU cores of the current machine or cgroups.
When Go is running, a proportion of threads is used for background tasks such as GC. If you do not limit the value of the performance.max-procs parameter, these background tasks will consume too much CPU.

PRODUCTIVITY Evernote vs. OneNote: Which is best for your business?
If you're someone who likes to jot down notes to keep their thoughts organized or whose line of work requires taking notes regularly, you've likely come across two of the most popular note-taking apps available today: OneNote and Evernote. Both of these apps have free versions and come with some very useful features, but each has pros and cons that set it apart from the other. While some users swear by OneNote, others prefer Evernote. Let's discuss the features of both apps to help you decide which one is better for your business.
Taking notes
OneNote
Microsoft OneNote features the traditional Microsoft Office Ribbon that provides you with many features to create, edit, view, and organize notes. While creating notes, you can add text, images, tables, videos, audio files, spreadsheets, links, and more to your notes. This helps you create content-rich notes and keep all media associated with them in one place.
You can take freehand notes and draw freehand images using a touch-enabled device or a Microsoft Surface device. The usual Microsoft Office formatting and reviewing options help you create more appealing and accurate notes.
Evernote vs OneNote Which is best for your business 1
Evernote
Evernote includes most of the same note-creation features, like drawing and editing tools, but doesn't provide some OneNote features like reviewing other users' edits. Also, unless you tag your notes, they will keep piling up in an unorganized manner, and it will be difficult to search for them later.

Organizing your notes
OneNote
OneNote helps you organize content just like you would in a physical notebook—in the hierarchy of notebooks, section groups, sections, and pages. This provides you with simple and broad cabinets to save your notes in. Pages in a section are displayed in a list on the right-side panel, which helps you keep track of topics that you've created. OneNote also helps you organize content within your page by creating sub-paragraphs. You can create multiple paragraphs under the main one and collapse/display them as needed.
Evernote vs OneNote Which is best for your business 2
Evernote
Evernote organizes notes in a linear fashion, displaying all the existing notebooks on the far-left side of the screen. While scrolling through these notebooks, you can see the list of notes in each and image clippings from those notes. As the name suggests, the "All notes" section displays the entire collection of notes taken up to this point, irrespective of the notebooks they are in. Evernote provides a Tags options under the listed notebooks where you can search for notes according to their tags.

Clipping content from the web
OneNote
OneNote has a clipper add-in that has very basic functionality and can only be used from a Microsoft account. Using this clipper, you can grab a screenshot of a webpage or other content. For example, you can choose to capture an article from a webpage, excluding the advertisements, as well as its bookmark.
The clipping gets embedded as an image. OneNote allows you to include this clipping only inside an existing notebook. If there are any multimedia components or links on the clipping, you will not be able to interact with them. OneNote also doesn't allow you to copy a saved clipping to other applications, such as Microsoft Word.
Evernote
With Evernote, you can do all this but also choose to exclude the original format of the article and copy just the text and images from it. You can create a new notebook to add this clipped information and use Evernote's mark-up tools to include comments or questions. You can also play around with the content from the clipped page by editing or changing its appearance, such as adding text to it, highlighting it, and even drawing directly on it. Unlike OneNote, Evernote lets you click the links of the clipped page. You can also view videos embedded in clipped content by clicking them and visiting the original webpage from where the content was clipped.
Device support
Both OneNote and Evernote can be used across devices, but the overall look and feel may vary from one device to another.
OneNote
As part of the Microsoft Office suite, OneNote works best on Windows, where you get to enjoy its entire range of note-creation and formatting options. You may find a few of these features missing in the web, iPad, and Mac versions of OneNote. Though the Mac version of OneNote has all the formatting features just like Windows, it doesn't provide you with as many Insert features. The iPad version also has its limitations, though it provides the extra functionality of taking a picture with your device's camera and inserting it into your notes. The iPhone and Android versions are also simplified and omit some features. However, they allow you to scroll through notes easily and take quick notes on the go.
Evernote
Out of all the different devices, Evernote also seems to look and work the best on Windows. It's easier to organize your notes on Windows, as existing notebooks are displayed vertically. This task becomes a little tricky while using an iPad or Mac. If you use the Android or iPhone version, Evernote displays notes in rectangular boxes with the note title and image displayed on it. While using the web version, you need to click the Notebook icon to see the list of existing notebooks. You can then click on a notebook to see the notes in it.
Using third-party apps
When it comes to using third party apps to import content, both OneNote and Evernote work well.
OneNote
Applications such as OnetasticGenius ScanIFTTT, and Zapier help you to easily bring information to OneNote, where you can edit and organize it according to your needs. In case you want to export your notes to other apps, OneNote allows you to do so easily with Microsoft Office products, especially Word. You can also export your notes to a spreadsheet or PDF documents.
Evernote
Evernote is very versatile in this regard, as it supports many apps across different platforms and devices. For example, if you need to convert recorded audio notes to text on Evernote, you can use the Dragon Anywhere app. Evernote also supports other useful apps like TaskClone and Cloudmagic. But if you export your notes to other apps, Evernote doesn't provide you with as many options as OneNote does.
Multi-Factor Authentication: Better Protect Your Office 365 Data
Nowadays, nearly every modern organization is moving their business to the cloud. Protecting your organization's users and their accounts from being compromised is easy when you have an on-premises setup like Microsoft's Azure Active Directory. But what if you're using Office 365? Well, you're still in luck. In this article, we'll take a comprehensive look at how Office 365 multi-factor authentication helps protect your data.
What is multi-factor authentication?
Multi-factor authentication is a simple way of protecting user profiles by requiring users to provide more than just their username and password when attempting to log in.
In Office 365, multi-factor authentication adds a second layer of protection that requires users to provide proof of their identity before they are granted access to a profile.
For example, if someone managed to crack or steal your password but doesn't have the device you associated with your profile, they won't be allowed to log in. So that second factor—the mobile or office phone—will protect your account from unauthorized logins.
Licensing
The best part is that multi-factor authentication is free with an Office 365 subscription. Though Office 365 multi-factor authentication is part of Azure, you don't need any additional license to use it for your Office 365 tenant. You only need an Azure AD Premium license in case you want to use advanced features of Azure multi-factor authentication.
How multi-factor authentication works in Office 365
Microsoft offers three different ways you can use multi-factor authentication to prove your identity from your phone:
 1. Use the Microsoft Authenticator app. This app provides you with a one-time password (OTP) or a push notification. You can either use that device as a software token that provides OTP or you can use it as a push notification hub that will get notifications from the central multi-factor authentication service.
 2. Receive a phone call on your registered number. If you select this option, you'll receive a call on either your mobile or landline phone and will be asked to press the pound sign (#) to confirm your identity.
 3. Receive a text message at your registered number. You'll receive an OTP through a text message sent to your mobile. You then simply enter the OTP on the screen where you're trying to log in.
You can either use one of these options or configure multiple options for multi-factor authentication.
Below are the options that an Office 365 global admin sees when enabling multi-factor authentication for Office 365 users in their organization:
How multi-factor authentication works in Office 365 1
When users complete their multi-factor authentication registration, they can also choose default and secondary options from the ones enabled by their global admin. Users will see the following screen:

Historical Summary of Onshore Oil and Gas Exploration Activities in South Carolina
William T. Griffin
Oil and Gas Exploration in South Carolina has occurred in two distinct periods. The first period occurred between 1920 and 1957 (Olson and Glowacz, 1977). During this time 11 wildcat wells (wells 1 – 11, see map) were drilled in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina. These wells are summarized in the table (after Olson and Glowacz, 1977), and their locations have been plotted on the accompanying map. Other than the fact that they were dry, little is known about these wells; therefore, they will not be discussed further in this report.
The second and current period of recorded activity began in 1980. These activities include leasing, soil geochemical analyses, seismic surveys, and drilling, and major companies and small independents have conducted them. It is possible that leasing occurred prior to 1980; but because there are no regulatory requirements for leasing in the State, we have no record of earlier activity.
The purpose of this report is to provide a detailed chronological summary of this second period of onshore oil and gas exploration, and to offer some general observations on future activities and the regulatory role of the South Carolina Water Resources Commission.
This open-file report is available for review in the SCDNR's Columbia office.
