text: I'm Not A Leader When you hear the word leader - what characteristics come to mind?Outgoing? Decisive? Passionate? Outspoken? Driven? Bold? Vocal?I know those are the words that immediately come to my mind. But to be honest, I've never considered myself to be a strong leader. Even when I was a little girl, I never quite had those "leadership" traits. In fact, I was the complete opposite - I was shy, quiet, bashful and a little awkward - (actually... I still am... Ha!). I can actually remember back to 1st grade when my mom had a parent-teacher conference with my teacher, Ms. Cutting. She let my mom know that although I was academically doing well, I was having some other "issues" in the classroom. She went on to say that I was "very shy", "extremely aware" and "overly observant" of others - that I paid too much attention listening to my friends. She informed my mom that I needed to focus more on myself and worry less about my classmates. Now, at the time, my little 6 year old self took this as horrific news! She spoke of these traits as if they were all bad things and that I was not being my best self as a result.Little did I know that that one moment would have such an enormous effect on me. Moving forward, I tried to adjust myself by embracing and adapting other traits into my personality - I tried to be more outgoing, loud, vocal, firm and "less" attentive to my surroundings and more in tune with only me. All in all, I don't believe this was necessarily a bad thing because I was able to grow as a student and conquer simple fears, such as being the first to raise my hand in class or even trying out for my high school basketball and cheerleading teams, but ultimately, these traits were foreign to me by nature.Like many of us in our 20s I've spent the past couple of years doing a lot of self exploration, trying to discover who Erica Kmiec really is! And you know, it has been a journey, but I've come to recognize that I am still that bashful little girl.I am and always will be more of a listener than a talker, more quiet than loud and more shy than outgoing. I appreciate my environment at all times and relish in the present. I may not be the most outspoken person >>> I lead by example.I stay true to my values and live my life according to those values and I think people around me can see that.It doesn't make me or any of you (if you're like me) any less of a leader - we just lead in different ways.We lead by listening, by observing and being attentive. We lead with our kind, soft voice.We are all leaders and we are all needed - so SHOUTOUT to all my low-key leading ladies! I hear your quiet ways! :) Erica Rachel KmiecJuly 22, 2015soul, leader, confidence, success4 Comments Facebook0 Twitter Google LinkedIn0 StumbleUpon Reddit Tumblr Pinterest0 0 Likes

AmeriClean's Mission Statement:
AmeriClean commits to providing top-quality cleaning, deodorization, restoration, and protection services for carpets, upholstery, drapery, hard-surface floors, Oriental-style and area rugs & RV's and automobiles, and we'll do it all with unparalleled customer care.
AmeriClean's Goals are to:
- Provide all of our services using the best technology available.
- Care for each customer's property as if it were our own.
- Display integrity and respect for the customer in all of our work.
- Follow up each service call with a "customer care check" to make sure the customer is satisfied with our services and performance.
- Maintain our IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning & Restoration Certification) Certification and ensure that all AmeriClean employees are AmeriClean Certified, fully trained, and always uniformed.
- Continually explore the newest and best cleaning solutions and techniques for each job.
- Go the extra mile to make sure each customer's property is cleaned, deodorized, and brought back to life.
A Brief History of AmeriClean
From the beginning, AmeriClean emphasized customer service and high quality. Working door-to-door and building from satisfied customers' referrals, AmeriClean grew from a home-based business in 1984 to a widely-respected company operating out of a 10,000 square-foot facility complete with in-plant restoration services. Today, AmeriClean vans and products ensure environmental safety and efficient use of water resources, even on in-home service stops.
Although shag carpets might be fewer today than they were in 1984 and deodorization and cleaning technologies have improved dramatically since then, some things about AmeriClean haven't changed.
Customers are always first, and follow-up calls after each AmeriClean job help ensure that. Staff work hard to make sure every client feels comfortable and pleased with the results they get from every AmeriClean service.
AmeriClean's staff is certified and attends continually scheduled professional development sessions. In addition, AmeriClean holds Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration (IICRC) certification.
Today, as another successful chapter in AmeriClean's history begins, the company offers all of the best and latest cleaning technologies, both for customers who want in-home service and for those who request AmeriClean's in-plant cleaning and deodorizing services for treasured Oriental rugs, leather, and even RV's.
"If someone tells you they can't clean it, call us," Sheila says. "We can do the job."

Charade (1963)
Director: Stanley Dolan
Actors: Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, George Kennedy, Walter Mathau, James Coburn, Ned Glass
Runtime: 113 min.
During a ski trip to the Swiss Alps, American Reggie Lampert (Audrey Hepburn) meets the charming Peter Joshua (Cary Grant). Upon returning to Paris she plans to ask her husband Charles for a divorce, but discovers that he's been murdered. Subsequently she is interviewed by the CIA who informs her that her husband was an operative during World War II.
Trivia: Audrey Hepburn was 32 years old and Cary Grant 59 when the film was made, so Grant requested that the script be changed to show her pursuing him. The musical score by Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini was nominated for an Academy Award. Audrey Hepburn won the BAFTA award for best actress for her role in the film. Grant and Hepburn both received Golden Globe nominations for Best Motion Picture Actor in a Musical/Comedy and Best Motion Picture Actress in Musical/Comedy.

Accra, Feb 19, GNA – The provision of annual figures rather than actual quarterly releases of District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) by officials of the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to members is making tracking of the disbursements very difficult.
The Institute for Democratic Governance's (IDEG) Monitoring of Funding Inflows in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipality, Prestea Huni-Valley and Shama Districts showed that disparities exist in the amounts of DACF allocated and actual amount received by the three MMDAs.
This shows the problem of deductions by the Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund from the approved amount remained a challenge.
The project dubbed: 'Strengthening Civic Participation and Social Accountability in Local Governance, ' is being implemented by IDEG, with funding from USAID, under the Ghana Local Governance and Decentralization Programme.
The Report, which was made available to the Ghana News Agency on Thursday, said in 2013 the deductions from the DACF for the three MMDAs were quite alarming.
It said for Shama District Assembly, the deductions were as high as 25 per cent. The approved amount was GH¢1,112,567.61 and actual amount received was GH¢833,847.47 and total deductions amounted to GH¢279,032.33.
It said the deductions consisted of Fumigation GH¢ 133,000, National Association of Local Government Authorities of Ghana dues GH¢5,432.33, and sanitation improvement package GH¢140, 600.00
For the Prestea-Huni Valley District Assembly, deductions accounted for 27 per cent of the District's DACF. The approved amount was GH¢1,108,313.00, actual amount released was GH¢ 814,540.37 and deductions amounted to GH¢277,478.50.
The deductions consisted of fumigation GH¢ 133, 000, NALAG dues GH¢3,787.25, and Sanitation improvement GH¢140,600.00
For Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipal Assembly, deduction was 21 per cent. The approved amount was GH¢821,829.00 and actual amount released was GH¢652,629.00
According to the Report, it was established that most of the members of the assemblies lacked the capacity to appreciate financial issues and had no knowledge of the deductions, making it difficult for them to track the actual disbursements.
It said the District Development Facility (DAF), which is a performance-based grant system, was introduced by the government to bridge the financing gap and to improve the performance of the MMDAs.
However, it was established that the last DDF was disbursed in 2014 to the MMDAs, based on the annual performance assessment under the Functional and Organizational Assessment Tool for 2012.
It said the DACF served as the main source of funding for project implementation and public service delivery in most MMDAs and as a result, when the DACF delayed, projects implementation and public delivery in the districts were hindered.
For example, baseline monitoring visits conducted by IDEG and GIFNets in October 2014 in the Prestea-Huni Valley, Tarkwa-Nsuaem and Shama districts revealed that the implementation of many projects in the 2014 Annual Action Plans of the districts had stalled.
This was because as at that time, the fourth quarter of 2014, no disbursement had been made for 2014.
This prompted IDEG to undertake advocacy activities, urging the Ministries of Finance, and Local Government and Rural Development, and the Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund, to release funds to the MMDAs.
The report said while IDEG was not imputing any irregularity in all these instances, it strongly recommended improving the dissemination of information on funding inflows to MMDAs.
It said the Administrator of the DACF should make available information on quarterly disbursement of the DACF to the MMDAs via the newspapers, and also via their website.
It also recommends that to facilitate citizens' undertaking of funding to MMDAs and their engagement with MMDAs, the MMDAs should give quarterly figures disbursed to the Assembly members rather than cumulative figures.
It urges MMDAs to also provide information on the deductions to citizens through the representatives of the assemblies and to increase sources of revenue inflows, while MMDAs work extra hard to meet the FOAT requirements to access the DDF.

When the administration of the Aarhus Art Building was reorganised in 2005, the art society formerly known as "Kunstnernes Hus" restructured itself and changed its name to the Society of Professional Artists and Craftsmen. Since its foundation in 1987, "Kunstnernes Hus" had worked to facilitate direct contact between the museum guests and the contemporary art by inviting visitors and artists to engage in mutually enlightening dialogues and continually presenting the audience with cutting edge art. In 2000 "Kunstnernes Hus" got a foothold in the Aarhus Art Building and sold their property in Saltholmsgade which partly financed the expansion of the art building in 2003.

A crochet tale ……Once upon a time I visited a terrific yarn store and filled my basket with many skeins and cones of yarn. I didn't have a specific project in mind for any of them, but my senses were stimulated by the colors, textures and silky, soft feel of these fibers.
One particular blueish cone of bamboo fingering, caught my eye and tickled my fancy.
After giving it some thought I decided to make a shawl. I selected a hook and began to try stitch combinations. I quickly settled upon one that had an open lacy feel and the look of orderly stripes. The body of the shawl progressed quickly and soon I was adding the border.
Then I began to wonder……..what would happen if I changed the yarn? I rummaged through my stash and found a festive red and complimentary variegated yarn. I repeated the same stitch pattern and look what I got…….a completely different look!
And that is the story of the Cape Cod Shawl. The end!

I've been in a few discussions about why I don't write here often like I promised when I began this blog. It's not that I do not have the material. I have that in spades, thank God.
Maybe, since becoming a dad to Noah and Moses, I've become more aware of how blessed my life really is. Not to sound unappreciative, but that's kind of been my dilemma.
My sons, they smile a lot. And whenever they smile their sweet, naughty cherub smiles, my heart feels like it's going to explode. All in one moment: gratitude, disbelief, joy, wonder, and also worry and fear that the moment's happiness is just that — a moment fleeting just for the remembering. (More painful, I have a really lousy memory now!)
It's just too goddamn beautiful. I take it all in, I let it flow through me. I sigh. I sigh a lot.
If you're a parent and you still watch your kids while they sleep, you probably know what I mean.
Moments with my kids take my breath away like a punch to the gut. Knocks the wind out of me so I can't easily write them down in here. I'm not sure it's normal. I should just be freakin' happy, but I always end up writing something sappy. So I try not to be melodramatic but it seems I can't write otherwise.
Like one day last week, Noah caught me completely by surprise when he volunteered to take off my shoes and socks when I got home. I guess he could tell I was tired from work. As soon as I plopped down on the couch, he sat down on the floor in front of me, smiled and said in his high-pitched sorta-baby, sorta-boy voice, "I'll help you, daddy!" He quickly took them off, brought my socks to the hamper and my shoes to the bedroom upstairs. I was dumbfounded. Where'd he learn to do that? Why did he do that? All I could do in return was kiss him on the forehead and say thank you, son.
I was holding back my tears when he did it again the next day. And the day after that.
Last night, I didn't feel like crying inside any more, so I stopped him and told him that I loved him but he didn't need to do that for me yet, I can still manage and he can take care of me when I'm old and grey.
He smiled back and I sighed. See?

As usual, do a Team…Pull to get code updates.
Some of the code for this studio is in the studio12 package of your studios source folder, and some is in the dh package of your labs source folder. This is because some of the code is shared with the lab you will do.
Make sure you understand how Caesared works. Talk it over with your studio partners.
Questions for you to answer, but no need to write them up:
The DemoCaesar class picks a random rotation value between 0 and 25, inclusively. What would happen if it chose a value outside that range? For example, 26 or 27?
You can try this by assigning rot a fixed value such as 26 and run the DemoCaesar class again.
What would happen if you supplied the value 247?
- Take a look at the modest and unassuming method getRotation(). Your studio group must brainstorm how to determine the rotation factor.
- To help you in that process, the chars array contains the rotated message with one character at each index of the array.
- All of the brains of the analysis has to go into the getRotation() method or a helper. Do not change any of the other methods.
- Once you correctly return the rotation value from that method, the unit test will pass, and you will be awarded the Caesar Star of Excelence (CSE).
If you have time, start to look over the lab for this module.
When you done with this studio, you must be cleared by the TA to receive credit.
- Commit all your work to your repository
- Fill in the form below with the relevant information
- Have a TA check your work
- The TA should check your work and then fill in his or her name
- Click OK while the TA watches
- If you request propagation, it does not happen immediately, but should be posted in the next day or so
This demo box is for studio 12

First hand experience of the benefits of natural health
My background is in the finance industry – I worked for various banks for 15 years. During this time I had an interest in natural health but it wasn't until 2000 that I consulted a homeopath to help me with various stress-related physical and emotional problems I was experiencing.
I found the process and the remedies immensely helpful and a couple of years later I decided to re-train as a homeopath. When I qualified in 2006 I left my career in finance and set up my own practice.
I trained as a NAET practitioner in 2008, and a few years discovered the joy of Emotional Freedom Technique and Matrix Reimprinting. I am qualified as an EFT trainer and Advanced Practitioner.
My training enables me to offer something completely unique to my clients. People often come looking for a solution to a particular health or emotional issue, and with an appropriate blend of treatment I support them on their path to optimum health. This may include some allergy testing or treatment; homeopathic remedies and EFT tapping, often all in the same session!
I am passionate about sharing my knowledge of natural health with others, and to this end I run workshops, retreats and EFT practitioner training.
I have lived in Sussex since the mid 1980s and currently reside in Ditchling with my caterer husband and our four legged furry friends. My passion is all aspects of natural health; I do lots of yoga and enjoy running and walking in the beautiful Sussex countryside.

As cold weather approaches, many of us are bringing outdoor plants inside to survive the winter. Or perhaps you want some live greenery to spruce up your home when the outdoors become drab and colorless in the cold winter.
Around this time it's a good idea to think about your kitties and the exposure they can have with plants inside your home.
If your cat is looking to eat your plants indoors, that can be a sign of 2 things; curiosity and playfulness or a lack of plantation in their diet.
Cats are not meant to eat vegetables as humans are, but a lot of cat food does come with grains and some vegetables in it to aid in digestion. When kitty is eating leaves or flowers off your plants, try to substitute greenery into their diet instead of your plants; perhaps a cat grass or cat food that offers more vegetables in the ingredients.
If kitty is munching on the twigs or stems, perhaps they are looking for a chew toy or something to clean their teeth. There are several cat toys available for this very purpose!
Lastly, if your cat seems interested in eating the dirt, there most likely is a nutritional deficiency such as anemia and you should consult your veterinarian. However if your cat is using the plant dirt as a litter box then perhaps it is time to change your litter and remind kitty where the box is.
On top of the damage to your plants, your cat can also be harmed by eating certain types of greenery. Your cat can have an un-chewed petal or leaf blocking an internal organ that could cause damage or even part of a twig stuck in their throat; it is always important to keep an eye on your houseplants and pets.
Other dangers include parasites or insects that might be lurking in the dirt or inside a hallow stem or plant, especially if brought in from outside. Some plants are even poisonous to your cats such as holiday plants, poinsettias, and holly.
For a complete list of plants that are hazardous to your cats, visit the ASPCA website which features a complete list.

The Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree and meditated on the meaning of life for 49 days, and after awakening, he reunited with his companions who would become his disciples and gave his first teaching on the Four Noble Truths. The First Noble Truth is the existence of suffering or discomfort (dukkha). Everyone gets sick; everyone grows old; and eventually everyone dies -- and we often experience discomfort whether our lives are deprived or privileged. The Buddha also taught that much of our suffering comes from our attempts to turn our attention away from these facts by chasing false comfort in an uncomfortable world -- through pursuit of wealth, fame, sex, fantasy, alcohol, drugs and other empty distractions.
The First Noble Truth of Politics is frustration. Anyone who makes the choice to care about politics knows the frustrations that take the form of an opposition that never sees the light of wisdom, and also allies that have their own separate goals and agendas as well as leaders that continually disappoint. We may turn away from this frustration by embracing the Fantasy of Political Vanquishment -- but this only leads to more frustration.
We all suffer because we imagine how wonderful the world will be when we vanquish the opposition and are finally able to achieve our political goals and enjoy the benefits of a society that lives by our values. The truth is: this is a fantasy that never happens and understanding and accepting this fact, like the acceptance of our limitations and mortality, is the first step toward finding peace in politics.
Even though we have never seen it happen, political participants hold onto the view that some day, perhaps as soon as the next election, our side will win a total victory so great that the opposition will realize how correct our positions have been all along, or perhaps they will be so powerless that it will not matter what they think. We win, they lose. We can enact the policies we know are best for all and political compromises will no longer be necessary.
What partisans forget, especially partisans committed to a purer version of their side's guiding principles, is they are a minority of the voting public. Progressives can be correct that America is a center-left nation, and that true progressives are the majority of the Democratic caucus -- and still not realize that progressive Democrats are a minority of all voters. All of this math is equally true on the other side. America is also a center-right nation and conservatives are in the majority of the Republican caucus -- and yet conservative Republicans are a minority of all voters. Yet progressive Democrats, conservative Republicans, and even committed moderates, another voting minority, all hold onto the faith that their side will some day be able to call all of the shots.
Democrats had a fleeting taste of this fantasy on November 4, 2008 when Barack Obama won the White House as Democrats increased their margins in the Senate and House of Representatives. We all know how that turned out. Republicans vowed to block every Obama initiative and make him a failure and a one-term president, and Democrats divided into a moderate faction with greater influence in the Senate, and a progressive faction with greater influence in the House.
Despite controlling the White House, Senate and House, the opposition was not vanquished and the frustration continued. Many in the "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party" bemoaned all of the compromises needed to pass President Obama's signature accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act, and vowed to defeat more moderate Democrats in the next election. In the 2010 election, nearly all the moderate "Blue Dog" Democrats in the House were swept out, but it was by Republicans who gained control of the lower chamber, essentially ending most Democratic hopes for further legislative progress until they can regain control, perhaps in 2014 or 2016.
Republicans have been dwelling in their own vanquishment fantasy recently with their obsession on the impossible dream of repealing Obamacare. As if winning control of the Senate and House would be enough power to enact a new law. It would take a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate to override a presidential veto that is certain until at least January 2017, when the law will have been in effect for years and millions will be enjoying coverage. As if Republicans would have any more success in unifying their party around an alternative set of health policies than the Democrats had when they controlled each body, or as if the Democrats would just stop fighting for health insurance for all.
The problem with the vanquishment fantasy -- beyond that it never actually happens -- is that it stands as a major impediment to any real progress. The partisans ask, "Why should I compromise with you now when the next election is going to sweep you off the political map?" This was the belief of many Democrats before the disastrous 2010 election and it is the view of many Republicans now. Both sides have strong factions that would rather wait for a complete victory, than reach a compromise with the other side today. This is just one of many reasons why so little of substance is getting done in Washington these days, and so many problems continue to fester.
The Buddha did not live in the time of contemporary Washington politics, so we have to interpret the teaching for our current circumstances, but the wisdom of concentrating on the present moment, rather than living in fears or fantasies of the future, would seem to be right on point. Often in politics the goal is to delay progress, but if your goal is to achieve progress, it is probably better to get something done with the allies and opposition you have now rather than waiting for the political environment you imagine you will have after the next election.

IIS 6.0 employs a new process model. A kernel mode HTTP listener (Http.sys) receives and routes HTTP requests (and can even satisfy requests from its response cache). Worker processes register for URL subspaces, and Http.sys routes the request to the appropriate process (or set of processes, in the case of application pools).
Figure 4 shows the difference between the IIS 5.0 and IIS 6.0 process models. IIS 5.0 uses WinSock to accept connections on port 80. Requests are received by the inetinfo process, which then either executes the request in-process, or hands it to a dllhost process for out-of-process handling (to provide isolation). The response is sent back by the inetinfo process.
Figure 4 Process Models for IIS 5.0 and IIS 6.0
The IIS 6.0 process relies on the kernel-mode Web driver, Http.sys. In the new model, Http.sys is responsible for connection management and request handling. The request may either be served from the Http.sys cache or handed to a worker process for further handling (see Figure 5). Multiple worker processes may be configured, providing isolation at lower cost.
Http.sys includes a response cache. When a request matches an entry in the response cache, Http.sys sends the cache response directly from kernel-mode. Figure 5 shows the request flow from the network through Http.sys (and possibly up to a worker-process).
Figure 5 Request Handling in IIS 6.0
Because a Web server has a kernel-mode as well as a user-mode component, both must be tuned for optimal performance. Therefore, tuning IIS 6.0 for a specific workload includes configuring:
· Http.sys (the kernel mode driver) and the associated kernel-mode cache.
· Worker processes and user-mode IIS, including application pool configuration.
Additionally, some tuning parameters that affect performance are discussed in the following sections .
Kernel-mode Tunings
Performance-related Http.sys settings fall into two broad categories: cache management, and connection and request management. All registry settings are stored under the following entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Http\Parameters
If it is already running, the HTTP service must be stopped and restarted for the changes to take effect.
Cache Management Settings
One of the benefits that Http.sys provides is a kernel-mode cache. If the response is in the kernel-cache, it is possible to satisfy an HTTP request entirely from kernel-mode, which significantly lowers the CPU cost of handling the request. However, the kernel-mode cache of IIS 6.0 is a physical-memory based cache, and the cost of an entry is the memory it occupies.
An entry in the cache is of benefit only when used. However, the entry uses physical memory at all times, whether the entry is in use or not. The usefulness of an item in the cache (the difference being able to serve it from the cache makes) and its cost (physical memory occupied) over the lifetime of the entry need to be evaluated taking into account the resources available (CPU, physical memory) and the workload requirements. Http.sys attempts to keep only useful (actively accessed) items in the cache, but it is possible to increase the performance of the web server by tuning the Http.sys cache for particular workloads.
Below are some useful settings for the Http.sys kernel-mode cache:
· UriEnableCache. Default Value: 1. A non-zero value enables the kernel-mode response and fragment cache. For most workloads, the cache should remain enabled. Consider disabling the cache if you expect very low response and fragment cache utilization.
· UriMaxCacheMegabyteCount. Default Value: 0. A non-zero value specifies the maximum memory available to the kernel cache. The default value, 0, allows the system to automatically adjust the amount of memory available to the cache. Note that specifying the size only sets the maximum, and the system may not allow the cache to grow to the specified size.
· UriMaxUriBytes. Default Value: 262144 bytes (256 KB). This is the maximum size of an entry in the kernel cache. Responses or fragments larger than this will not be cached. If you have enough memory, consider increasing this limit. If memory is limited, and large entries are crowding out smaller ones, it may be help to lower this limit.
· UriScavengerPeriod. Default Value: 120 seconds. The Http.sys cache is scanned by a scavenger periodically and entries not accessed between scavenger scans are removed. Setting the scavenger period to a high value reduces the number of scavenger scans. However, the cache memory usage may grow as older, less frequently accessed entries are allowed to stay in the cache. Setting this period to too low a value causes more frequent scavenger scans, and may result in excessive flushes and cache churn.
Request and Connection Management Settings
Http.sys also manages inbound HTTP/HTTPS connections and is the first layer to handle requests on these connections. It uses internal data structures to keep information about connections and requests. Although such data structures can be created (and freed) on demand, it is more CPU-efficient to keep some in reserve in look-aside lists. Keeping such reserves help Http.sys handle fluctuations in load with less CPU usage. Note that load fluctuations are not necessarily the result of fluctuations in externally applied load. Internal optimizations to promote batch processing, and even interrupt moderation may result in load fluctuations and spikes.
The reserves help reduce CPU usage and latency, and increase Web server capacity but increase memory usage. When tuning the request and connection management behavior of Http.sys, it is important to keep in mind the resources available to the server, performance goals, and the characteristics of the workload. Use the following request and connection management settings:
· MaxConnections. This value controls the number of concurrent connections Http.sys will allow. Each connection consumes non-paged-pool, a precious and limited resource. The default is determined quite conservatively to limit the amount of non-paged-pool used for connections. On a dedicated web server with ample memory, the value should be set higher if a significant concurrent connection load is expected. A high value may result in increased non-paged-pool usage, so care should be taken to use a value appropriate for the system.
· IdleConnectionsHighMark, IdleConnectionsLowMark, and IdleListTrimmerPeriod. These values control the handling of connection structures not currently in use: how many must be available at any time (to handle spikes in connection load), the low and high watermarks for the free list, and the frequency of connection structure trimming and replenishment.
· RequestBufferLookasideDepth and InternalRequestLookasideDepth These values control the handling of data structures related to buffer management, and how many are kept in reserve to handle load fluctuations.
User-mode Settings
IIS Registry Settings
The following registry settings are found under this entry:
· MaxCachedFileSize (REG_DWORD) in bytes. Allows file sizes up to the specified size to be cached (default 256 KB). The actual value depends on the number and size of the largest files in the dataset versus the available RAM. Caching large, frequently requested files can reduce CPU usage, disk access, and associated latencies.
· MemCacheSize (REG_DWORD) in MB. Limits the IIS user-mode cache size to the specified size (default is adjusted by IIS depending on available memory). Choose the value carefully based on the size of the hot set (set of frequently accessed files) versus the amount of RAM or the IIS process address space, which is normally limited to 2 GB.
· DisableMemoryCache (REG_DWORD). Disables the user-mode IIS cache when set to 1 (default is 0). When the cache hit rate is very small you can disable the cache altogether to avoid the overhead associated with the cache code path.
· MaxPoolThreads (REG_DWORD). Sets the maximum number of pool threads that can be created per processor (default 4, range unlimited). Each pool thread watches for network requests and then processes them. The MaxPoolThreads count does not include threads that are currently processing ISAPI applications. This parameter should be increased if the CPU shows sub-optimal average usage because all existing threads are busy and there is no available thread to process new requests.
· PoolThreadLimit (REG_DWORD). Sets the maximum number of pool threads that can be created in the system (default is four times the number of processors, range unlimited). PoolThreadLimit must be greater than or equal to MaxPoolThreads. Normally PoolThreadLimit = MaxPoolThreads ´ number of processors. Setting only one of these parameters is sufficient. If both MaxPoolThreads and PoolThreadLimit are specified, the more stringent limit is used.
· ObjectCacheTTL (REG_DWORD) in seconds. Controls the length of time that objects are allowed to stay in the IIS user-mode cache without being accessed (default 30 seconds, 0xFFFFFFFF disables the object cache scavenger thread). This parameter can be increased if there is no memory pressure on the system and if the content being served does not change frequently. Lower the parameter if the system is under memory pressure and the user-mode cache is growing. See also ActivityPeriod later in this section.
· ActivityPeriod (REG_DWORD) in seconds. Allows a file to be cached only if it was hit repeatedly within the activity period (default 10 seconds, a value of zero will disable this check). This parameter reduces caching overhead caused by caching files that are not accessed frequently You can increase the activity period if the cache is not under heavy churn and there is enough free memory, or you can decrease the activity period if there is a heavy request load on the cache.
· DataSetCacheSize (REG_DWORD) default 50. Sets the maximum number of virtual directory entries in the metabase dataset cache. Increase if the number of installed virtual directories exceeds the default. The impact of an under-sized dataset cache is increased latency (accompanied by reduced throughput and low CPU usage) when serving static content.
IIS Metabase
The following settings are found under W3SVC/.
· AspMaxDiskTemplateCacheFiles. Allows disk caching of ASP script templates. Compiling the ASP templates is a processor-intensive task. Memory constraints limit the number of templates that can be cached in-memory. Fetching compiled templates from the disk template cache incurs less cost than compiling templates that do not fit into the ASP memory cache. See also AspScriptEngineCacheMax later in this section.
· AspDiskTemplateCacheDirectory. If possible, set to a platter not in heavy use (for instance, not shared with the operating system, pagefile, IIS log or other frequently-accessed content). The default directory is "%windir%\system32\inetsrv\Template Disk cache\ASP Compiled Templates".
· AspScriptEngineCacheMax. Set to as many script engines as memory limits allow (default 125).
· AspScriptFileCacheSize. Set to as many ASP templates as memory limits allow (default 250). See also AspMaxDiskTemplateCacheFiles earlier in this section.
· AspExecuteInMTA. Set to 1 (enable) if errors or failures are detected while serving some of the ASP content. This can happen, for example, when hosting multiple isolated sites where each site runs under its own worker process. Errors are typically reported from COM+ in the event viewer. This setting enables the multithreaded apartment model in ASP (the default 0 means disable).
· AspProcessorThreadMax. Increase if the current setting (default 25) is not sufficient to handle the load (possibly resulting in errors serving some requests)
· CentralBinaryLoggingEnabled. Enable central binary logging by setting this parameter to TRUE. Binary IIS logging reduces CPU usage, disk I/O and disk space usage. Central binary logging is directed to a single file, in binary format, regardless of the number of hosted sites. Parsing binary-format logs requires a post-processing tool.
IIS Worker Process Options (IIS Admin UI, Application Pool Properties)
The options for recycling IIS worker processes under the IIS Admin UI provide practical solutions to acute situations or events without the need for administrator intervention, service reset, or even computer reset. Such situations and events include memory leaks, increasing memory load or non-responsive or idle worker processes. Under normal conditions, recycling options may not be needed and can be turned off (or the system can be configured to recycle very infrequently). In the following sections, bold names are per-app-pool variables. When using scripts to set these variables, use the path /LM/W3SVC/AppPools/n, where n is the application pool index.
There are three options, as the following tables describe:
· Recycling options. These are found on the Recycling tab.
· Performance options. These are found on the Performance tab.
· Worker process health monitoring options. These are found on the Health tab.
Table 8. Recycling Options
PeriodicRestartRequests, DWORD, option disabled by default, default value 35000
Periodic recycling based on time
PeriodicRestartRequests, DWORD, option disabled by default, default value 35000
Periodic recycling based on the (cumulative) number of requests
PeriodicRestartSchedule, MULTISZ, disabled by default, empty string value
Recycling at given time settings
· (PeriodicRestartMemory, DWORD, default value 512 MB
· PeriodicRestartPrivateMemory, DWORD, default value 192 MB
Memory-based recycling (disabled by default) allows recycling of a worker process if it has reached either:
· A maximum amount of virtual memory
· A maximum amount of used memory
Under continuously growing memory pressure it could be helpful to allow frequent recycling of worker processes based on a tight-memory criterion, using either or both of these parameters.
Table 9. Performance Options
IdleTimeout, DWORD, in minutes, default 20
Shut down a worker process after being idle for more than a specified amount of time. This can save some resources on limited-memory systems but it is not recommended in situations that will require frequent spawning of new worker processes under heavy CPU load, because of the overhead associated with process creation.
AppPoolQueueLength, DWORD, default 2000
Limit the kernel request queue length per App-Pool. Requests consume paged-pool, and this limit should be lowered under high demand for paged-pool. Exceeding the designated length will cause the server to reject the request with a non-customizable error 503.
CpuAccounting, BOOLEAN, disabled (0) by default, 1 for enabled
Monitor CPU usage. You can set the maximum CPU use by percentage (CpuLimit, DWORD, default 0) and the refresh period to monitor it in minutes (CpuResetInterval, DWORD, default 0). The options upon reaching the CPU usage limit are to take no action (but write an event to the event log) or to shut down the worker process (CPUAction, DWORD, default 0 for "No action", maximum 1 for "Shutdown Worker Process").
MaxProcesses, default: 1 worker process to handle all requests
You can control the total number of worker processes in Web Garden mode of operation. In Web Garden mode, several worker processes handle the request load under a single application pool. There is no pre-assignment of worker processes to Web sites via different app-pools. In some cases one worker process is not enough to handle the load (indicated by poor CPU usage and long response times) and increasing the number of worker processes may improve throughput and CPU usage. One case where Web Garden mode may be considered is with hosting multiple sites. Multiple worker processes can also offer more reliability in case of an incidental crash of one of them, with little chance of total service disruption. Web garden mode is easier to set up and control than multiple pre-assigned application pools.
Table 10. Health Options
PingingEnabled, BOOLEAN, default 1
PingInterval, DWORD, default 30 seconds
Pinging worker processes (PingingEnabled) periodically (PingInterval). If not responding, the worker process is considered to be in a bad state and IIS will attempt to terminate it and spawn another.
RapidFailProtection, BOOLEAN, default
RapidFailProtectionMaxCrashes, DWORD, default 5 failures
RapidFailProtectionInterval, DWORD, default 5 minutes
Control a rapid failure rate situation (RapidFailProtection) by setting the maximum number of failures allowed (RapidFailProtectionMaxCrashes) within a given time span (RapidFailProtectionInterval). If such a rate of failures is recorded the application pool will be disabled, and will write related event log messages.
StartupTimeLimit, DWORD, default 90 seconds
Control the worker process startup limit period before considering it a failure
ShutdownTimeLimit, DWORD, default 90 seconds
Control the worker process shutdown limit period before considering it nonresponsive.
Secure Sockets Layer Tuning Parameters
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) use imposes extra CPU cost. The most expensive component of SSL is the session establishment cost (involving a full handshake), then reconnection cost and encryption/decryption cost. For better SSL performance, do the following:
· Enable keep-alives for SSL sessions. This eliminates the session establishment costs.
· Reuse sessions when appropriate (especially with non-keep-alive traffic).
· Note that larger keys provide more security but also use more CPU time.
· Note that not all components of your page may need to be encrypted. However, mixing plain HTTP and HTTPS may result in a pop-up warning on the client-browser that not all content on the page is secure.
No special tuning parameters are needed for ISAPI. If writing a private ISAPI extension, make sure to code it efficiently for performance and resource use. See also Other Issues Affecting IIS Performance later in this document.
Managed Code Tuning Parameters
· Make sure to precompile all scripts. This can be accomplished by calling one .NET script in each directory. Reset IIS after compilation is complete. Recompile after changes to Machine.config, Web.config or any .aspx script.
· If session state is not needed, make sure to turn it off in each page.
· When running multiple hosts containing ASP.NET scripts in isolated mode (one application pool per site) monitor the memory usage. Make sure the IIS server has enough RAM for the expected number of concurrently running application pools. Consider using multiple app-domains in place of multiple isolated processes.
" src="/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Images/anchor.gif"> Other Issues Affecting IIS Performance
· Installing Non Cache-Aware Filters. The installation of a filter that is non-HTTP-cache-aware will cause IIS to disable caching altogether, resulting in a poor performance. Old ISAPI filters (written before IIS 6.0) can cause this behavior. Filters that can operate with the HTTP cache can be marked cache-aware in the metabase.
· CGI Requests. Use of CGI applications for serving requests is not recommended under IIS for performance reasons. Frequent creation (and deletion) of CGI processes involves significant overhead. Better alternatives include use of ISAPI application and ASP or ASP.NET scripts. Isolation is available for each of these options.
NTFS File System Setting
Under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\ is NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate (REG_DWORD) 1.
This system-global switch reduces disk I/O load and latencies by disabling the updating of the date and time stamp for the last file or directory access. This key needs to be added; it does not exist by default. Disabling the updates is effective when used with large data sets (or a large number of hosts) containing thousands of directories. It is recommended that you use IIS logging instead if you maintain this information for Web administration only.
Warning: Some applications such as incremental backup utilities rely on this update information and cease to function properly without it.
Tcpip.sys Performance Settings for IIS
See Performance Tuning for Networking earlier in this document.
Network Adapter Tuning and Binding for IIS
· Make sure all network adapter settings are optimal.
· Bind each network adapter to a CPU (the method to use depends on the number of network adapters, the number of CPUs and the number of ports per network adapter).
See also Performance Tuning for Networking earlier in this document.

Starting today, freelancers get paid on time.
Starting today, freelancers get paid on time.
Just Raymona, a pattern-maker from the Bronx, paid the people she owed out of her savings when she was stiffed, but couldn't pay her own rent or phone bill.
Mauricio Niebla was part of a group of 30 writers and editors cheated out of a total of $400,000 by a national publishing company.
The stories go on and on. Over one million New Yorkers work as freelancers or independent contractors. Unfortunately, most of them – over 70% according to a Freelancers Union survey – have been cheated out of payments that they've earned, for amounts that average more than $6,000 per year.
Today, that changes.
Because, today, NYC's "Freelance Isn't Free Act" goes into effect, to make sure independent contractors get paid on-time and in full for their work. I was proud to sponsor the law – the first of its kind in the country – and to work together with the Freelancers Union and so many allies to get it passed.
Starting today, any "hiring party" (that can be a company or an individual) that hires a freelancer for work totaling more than $800 must execute a simple, written contract – it could be as simple as an e-mail – describing the work to be completed, the rate and method of payment, the date when payment is due, and basic contact information for both parties (sample contract here, courtesy of the Department of Consumer Affairs).
Payment in full is required within 30 days of the completion of services or of the payment due date under the contract (whichever is later). Companies who fail to pay would face penalties, including double damages, attorney's fees, and civil penalties.
The NYC Department of Consumer Affairs will act as a navigator for freelancers facing nonpayment. Check out DCA's new Freelance Workers resource page, which includes information about the law, model contracts, and complaint forms.
You can also get some great resources from the Freelancers Union, who helped to conceive, create, and advocate for the law – and will be helping freelancers exercise their new rights.
We hope the new Freelance Isn't Free Act will become a model for other cities and states around the country, who believe that everyone should get paid on-time and in-full for their work (the law passed the City Council 51-0, showing bi-partisan support for the concept, even if the President has been one of the highest-profile violators).
With more & more American workers engaged in "alternative work arrangements" than ever before – up from 10.1 percent in February 2005 up to nearly 16 percent in late 2015 – we need new models for protecting and supporting workers in the gig economy. With Republicans in control of Congress and the White House, and gridlock in so many state capitals, cities can and must take the lead in writing new laws to keep up with a changing economy.
The challenges facing freelance, independent, contingent, gig, and shift workers do not end here, of course.
As we outlined in a report from my office last fall, Raising the Floor for Workers in the Gig Economy: Tools for NYC and Beyond, there is much more we should do: like extending the employment protections of NYC's human rights law to independent contractors, helping establish "portable benefits funds," and strengthening gig-workers rights to organize.
Our next step: making sure that fast-food and other shift workers have predictable and stable schedules, a pathway to full-time jobs, and more ability to organize. That's why I'm proud to also be sponsoring "Fair Work Week" legislation in the City Council this spring as well.
For today, the Freelance Isn't Free Act – helping to make sure that Mauricio, Raymona, and the other 1.3 million freelancers in NYC get paid on-time and in full for the work they do – is a great step forward.

Importance of Individual Account Retirement Plans and Home Equity in Family Total Wealth
May 2017, Vol. 38, No. 7
Paperback, 16 pp.
PDF, 841 kb
Employee Benefit Research Institute, 2017
Executive Summary
This EBRI Notes examines the level of assets held by families with a working family head ages 25-64 in individual account (IA) retirement plans (employment-based defined contribution (DC) plans and individual retirement accounts (IRAs)) relative to all of their financial assets. Furthermore, this study also shows the importance of home equity held by families.
- Data from the 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), the Federal Reserve Board's triennial survey of wealth, are used to show the level of these types of assets held by American families. SCF is considered the best source of data on Americans' wealth, and it includes the full range of assets and debts held by American families. Key findings include:
- Among families with a working family head ages 25 to 64, 18.2 percent have less than $1,000 in financial assets, 31.2 percent have less than $5,000, and 38.9 percent have less than $10,000. Furthermore, of these families without an IA plan, 79.6 percent have financial assets less than $10,000, compared with only 13.1 percent of the families with an IA plan.
- The percentage of families with a working head ages 25-64 that have one of these types of plans range from 50.4 percent for families with a head ages 25-34 to 71.4 percent for those families with a head ages 55-64.
- The median percentage of home equity plus IA assets relative to home equity plus financial assets is 78.2 percent for all families with a working head ages 25-64. This percentage increases significantly with age from 55.0 percent for those families with heads ages 25-34 to 87.4 percent for those families with heads ages 55-64.
- When focusing only on those families that actually have IA assets, the median percentages of financial assets that these IA plans represent substantially increases. For example, of those families that have a current-employer DC plan, the median percentage of financial assets that the current DC assets plus IRA assets represent is 75.2 percent. Furthermore, for families that have any IA assets, the median percentage of financial assets plus home equity that are represented by IA assets plus home equity is 86.0 percent.
- For all families with a working head ages 25-64, the median debt-to-asset ratio is 33.4 percent. However, for families with working heads ages 55-64, the median debt-to-asset ratio is 13.4 percent for families with IA assets compared with 34.2 percent for families without IA assets.
- Overall, those with IA assets have significantly more assets, and the IA assets make up a large share of financial assets. Those without IA assets typically have very low overall assets, so they have almost nothing to draw from for retirement expenses. Furthermore, home equity tends to represent the largest share of financial assets plus home equity. Consequently, when measuring families' financial asset holdings at retirement, it is overwhelmingly the case that just IA assets plus home equity represent almost all of what families have for retirement outside of Social Security and defined benefit pension plans.

The study examined the lifetime drinking habits of 2,800 adults and found that those who drank heavily in their teens and young adulthood were more likely to have metabolic syndrome than those who drank more moderately throughout adulthood.
Metabolic syndrome is a grouping of risk factors for heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
Experts say, while moderate drinking can be heart healthy, drinking heavily early in life might contribute to metabolic syndrome later on.
