Residential and light commercial boilers are used primarily to heat the interior of a home or office. During the construction phase, piping is installed throughout the building and serves as the distribution network for the transfer medium, which is usually water. Heat energy is released through radiators, convectors or baseboard grilles, and the cooled liquid is circulated back to the boiler, where the cycle is repeated.
Heat generated by a radiant system is generally preferred over a forced-air furnace because it disperses warm air currents more evenly throughout the building, which eliminates cold spots and drafts. Modern boilers are available in gas and oil configurations, and each system has unique features and benefits.
Older gas steam boilers and oil steam boilers use heated water vapor to transfer energy. Due to the inherent disadvantages of the system, including noise levels and operational inefficiency, steam boilers are generally not used in new construction. However, converting an existing steam piping system to water may not be cost effective, especially when the system must be re-piped. Fortunately, modern steam boilers offer improved energy efficiency, better comfort and much lower noise levels.
Oil Boilers
When the heating cycle is initiated in an oil hot water boiler, liquid is pumped from a storage tank through a fuel line into a specially designed nozzle. Pressure forces a fine mist into the combustion chamber. The atomized oil mixes with air, and the ignition system provides a spark that ignites the oil vapors. The resulting hot gas passes through specially designed tubes in the heat exchanger, and the energy is transferred to the water in the boiler, which is maintained at a predetermined temperature. When the thermostat calls for heat, the water is circulated through the pipes in the building by a pump, and then it returns to the boiler for reheating.
Gas Boilers
Gas boilers are a model of simplicity and efficiency. Natural gas is piped into neighborhoods and the surrounding homes and offices. Gas hot water boilers operate according to the same basic principle as oil models for radiant heating systems, except they employ a simpler combustion chamber and heat exchanger design.
When the thermostat calls for heat, a valve in the boiler is opened, and gas is injected into the combustion chamber. The gas is subsequently ignited by an electronic ignition system, and a heat exchanger transfers warm energy to the water circulating through the building's piping system.
Condensing Boilers
Gas condensing boilers are more efficient than conventional boilers since they recover energy from the waste gas normally exhausted through the flue pipe. Specifically, the combustion process produces water vapor, which is condensed back into a liquid. This action releases latent heat, which can raise the efficiency of the unit up to 98 percent.
Oil condensing boilers are also substantially more efficient than standard models, but their Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings are inferior to equivalent gas-fired boilers with similar capacities.
Is a Gas or Oil Boiler Right For Me?
Purchasing a boiler is a complex decision based on the consumer's budget, existing heat infrastructure, and operating cost expectations. Oil and gas boilers offer different features, benefits, and maintenance requirements.
Efficiency: All oil and gas boilers carry AFUE ratings to provide a meaningful efficiency comparison between different brands and models of equipment. In general, gas hot water boilers are more efficient than oil hot water boilers with the same heat output.
Prior to selecting a boiler model, it is important to check local fuel costs for both natural gas and fuel oil. While natural gas is less expensive than fuel oil in most regions of the country, there are some areas where the cost of heating oil is significantly reduced because of high local demand. Energy costs are very volatile, and the price of natural gas and fuel oil can fluctuate dramatically over time.
Maintenance: While it is important to properly service all HVAC equipment on a regular basis, oil boilers require more extensive maintenance than their gas counterparts. This is primarily due to the nature of heating oil, which enters the boiler in a liquid form. Nozzles tend to clog over time, and the combustion chamber must be frequently cleaned to remove residue and byproducts left over from the burn cycle.
Conversion Cost: From an installed cost standpoint, a fuel conversion from oil to gas can be expensive, especially if the old fuel tank must be removed. It is also important to establish that gas service is available, and the size of the incoming gas pipe is large enough to provide sufficient volume to satisfy the requirements of the appliance.
Brands We Carry
Radiant heating systems provide economical, controlled, and comfortable warmth throughout the entire indoor environment. Griffith Energy Services represents quality oil, gas, and steam boiler manufacturers like Carrier, Utica and Columbia. Boiler systems are available for every application, price range, and heating requirement.

Kakuzi farms 717 Hactares of avocado producing and exporting both Fuerte and Hass cultivars. The Hass season runs from June to mid-September with Fuerte starting a little earlier in March/April.
In 2011 we exported 3,280 tons of Hass and 1,245 tons of Fuerte.
Hass Avocados
Kakuzi produces the Hass variety of avocado which is in high demand in European Union (EU) markets. This cultivar is termed a "dark skinned" avocado as it turns dark purple when ready to eat. The majority of our Hass exports (70%) are exported to France, while 15% goes to the UK with the balance distributed through other EU countries, Switzerland and Scandinavia. The temperate climate is perfectly suited to high quality avocado production and our Hass product is known for its good taste and eating quality.
Kakuzi is also continuously looking to expand and develop further Hass avocado outgrowers. Kakuzi currently has 196 acres under this initiative and further growth in production is planned.
Fuerte Avocados
The other avocado cultivar in Kenya is Fuerte which is grown by Smallholders. This cultivar is termed a "green skin" as the skin remains green as it becomes ripe and ready for eating. Kakuzi buys and exports Fuerte from Smallholders purchasing 1,245 tonnes in 2011. We work closely with Smallholders to improve quality and reliability of supply.
All of our own production is GlobalGap, Tesco's Natures and Rainforest Alliance accredited while the Avocado Packhouse is FSSC 22000 accredited.
Avocado Packhouses
At Kakuzi's Avocado Packhouse all avocados are graded to eliminate fruit with physical quality defects such as insect and wind damage, bruising and sunburn and the fruit is also weight sized. Fruit is packed into cartons with net weights of either 4 kg or bulk packs of 8 kg. Packed fruit is then placed in cold rooms to cool in preparation for shipping in refrigerated 40ft containers to Europe. The time taken from picking and packing to reaching the European market is 30 days on average.

SC Wildlife
November 2012
Gene's Notes:
November weather was seasonably warm and very dry. However, we did get our first frost on the 1st.
I spent much of my photography time looking for new Laurens County birds to add to my collection. I was rewarded with Bonaparte's Gulls and a stray Dunlin.
At my farm, we were visited by several large flocks of Common Grackles.

Lately, I keep seeing this commercial on TV. An on-the-go mom keeps getting phone alerts — text messages and reminders about a meeting or something to buy at the grocery store. I don't know if it's advertising a car or a smart phone, because I always lose interest around when she gets a text message from her son, "Forgot my tuba." In the next scene, she's at the school handing him the instrument. Then they hug, smile at each other, and wave goodbye. It's at this point that I change the channel.
As you would be aware, parenting a child with ADHD can be confusing, tiring and frustrating.
On any given day, our kids may struggle to get organised on time, require constant prompting, make impulsive decisions or poor choices, miss social cues, and have frequent emotional outbursts in response to seemingly insignificant problems. They can also appear irresponsible, self-centred and ungrateful, and create noisy chaos wherever they go.
HADD-ADHD Ireland Ireland's support organisation for people with ADHD, is delighted to let you know that internationally renowned expert Fintan Regan who is also a former teacher and principal for children with ADHD will be delivering a full day course which will deliver a range of practical strategies to support learning, behavioural and socialisation objectives within schools and the home environment.
We will also focus on how teachers and parents and carers can work in partnership to meet the needs of children and young persons with ADHD and co-existing conditions.
Something beautiful happens when you set expectations for your child with ADHD based on who they are and where they are today. It's called success and happiness.
One thing I keep telling the parents of kids with ADHD who I work with — coaching clients and online course students —is: Place the parenting rulebook in the rubbish bin, please. This is my No. 1 priority for parents raising kids with neuro-atypical challenges.
Parenting is hard enough for neurotypical people! It is even more challenging for those who have ADHD. Impulsiveness, forgetfulness, disorganization, time perception issues and distractibility, among other symptoms of the condition, make the tasks involved in running a household and raising a family much tougher.

QR Code Apps
QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response codes, and as the name suggests, it is used for quick decoding of information. QR is a form of encoding and storing information, and it has been used in the manufacturing industry extensively. This has consequently led to the creation of a wide range of QR code apps to undertake the numerous tasks. It involves a two-dimensional set of black squares set within a white background, and it can encode alpha-numeric characters, as well as a wide range of other characters such as the Japanese Kanji.
QR Codes Origins
It is very important to understand the origins of the QR code system of encoding and storing data so that you can effectively understand the context of the QR code apps and their importance. It was developed by a motor manufacturing company which happened to be a subsidiary of the global car maker Toyota. This system was initially used to store and encode data in regards to the manufacturing of the cars in this subsidiary company which was later used for quick extraction of the information. Its success made it a very viable system for adoption in other types of industries.
QR Code Apps – Uses
As earlier mentioned, QR code apps have been developed to serve a multitude of needs, and we will subsequently explore them in detail below:
Motor Vehicle Manufacturing
This was the initial use of the QR code system, and the initial apps were tailored by the Toyota subsidiary called Denso Wave, back in 1994, for tracking the vehicles they were manufacturing throughout the production process. This system was used to store useful information that related to the whole manufacturing system such as the number of cars being assembled, the names of the workers in the assembly plant and other relevant details. Due to its two-dimensional nature, it was used for fast decoding of the data.
Of late, more people are flocking into entertainment joints to release the stresses of modern life; and this being the Information Age, the entertainment joints have had to keep in tandem with the huge amount of information needed about their patrons, such as ticket details. This information has to be encoded in a secure manner and be decoded in a very fast and efficient manner as well. This has led to the development of many QR code based apps to undertake the data processing. Also, musicians go on tours as an integral component of their marketing strategy. As you all know, handling the logistics involved is quite a demanding task and the QR code apps have proven to be quite a reliable way of handling this data.
Product Marketing
No doubt many of you always get annoyed by the blatantly intrusive marketing gimmicks adopted by the marketing industry when pushing the sales of their products. Numbers are everything in this industry, and a marketing firm that cannot effectively process this data will find itself in a quandary. In effect, this market has turned to QR code apps for the handling of this daunting task. This efficiency coupled with the ability to customize the QR code apps to the exact specifications you desire have accelerated their adoption in this very fast changing industry. So, the next time an advertisement spews out luring statistics at you, chances are that QR code apps have a hand in it!
Mobile Computing
There is no doubt that most of you have a mobile device you depend on for most of your communication needs, and the best part of it is undoubtedly the scores of mobile apps that enable you to do almost anything you can dream of, right on your mobile device! Android based phones use the QR code system for redirection and Nokia phones have a bar code scanner that also utilizes the same code system. For ardent Apple fans and consumers, the mobile devices from Apple do not have a natively built-in QR code system though you can check out a wide range of apps in the App Store. There are free QR code apps as well as paid apps.
Security of QR Code Apps
Just like any other software, QR code generated by another user or party can be fused with a virus, so you have to get you QR code software from reliable sources only, especially those with excellent reviews.
Create your own QR Code App
If you are daring enough, go ahead and create your own QR code apps. It's fun!

I'm a very light sleeper, nearly anything will wake me up, and even nights when I go to bed feeling completely exhausted, it can take me a long time to finally fall asleep. Also, I'm sure he won't mind me saying (we're all friends here after all), but Paul snores. He could fall asleep on a washing line, so most nights it only takes his head to hit the pillow and that's him gone. If he starts to snore before I manage to drift off then that's me awake for at least another hour.
I thought I'd share some of the tips I've picked up recently, plus a couple that I've used for a while myself, in case -like me, you sometimes struggle to get a good nights sleep.
-good bedding-
Bad pillows or the wrong kind of duvet can ruin your good nights sleep -not to mention the neck cramps you could wake up with. You spend a large part of your life in bed so, make sure the bedding you buy is good quality and that it's made up of things you find the most comfortable.
-keep a notebook beside the bed-
This is something I've done for quite a long time now. I have a very active mind -overactive some might say, and I will regularly wake up at silly times of the night with something I've suddenly remembered I have to do, and idea for a blog post that I must write down or any other nonsense that seems important in the early hours. Having a notebook there means that I can wake up, make a scribbled note and go back to sleep knowing I won't forget it. Also knowing it's there in case I need it can sometimes help, even if I don't write anything down.
-watching tv-
I know some people who find it helpful to drift off to sleep with the tv on, even some people who need to have it on, and couldn't possibly sleep without it. Some night's we will watch television right before bed, or even in bed -but I have to be careful with what I watch. It has to be fun, lighthearted, nothing to heavy or serious. I have very vivid dreams and I find that anything with a big serious story line or something incredibly emotional, can sometimes spill over into my dreams and again -cause me to wake up.
-sleep sprays-
If you'd asked me about these a couple of years ago I'd have passed them off as a waste of money and not given them a second thought. But after finding one in my beauty advent calendar two years ago I've become a huge fan. The scents are very relaxing and help you to unwind as you try to drift off, my favourite is the This Works Pillow Spray.
-avoid clocks-
If I still have a bad night when I do wake up I don't under any circumstances look at the time. It's such a small thing but I find looking at the time then causes me to lie there and stress about the fact that I'm still awake, and need to be up in X amount of hours. If you don't know what time it is, then you cant worry about it and put yourself under any extra stress or pressure trying to get back to sleep.

Swiss Army Disc Review by Scott

I used to rely on 3 KC Pro Roc's of different weights and conditions for my midrange duties and now I find myself reaching for my Champ Roc3 alot of the time. It can do ANYTHING. I use it for everything from finesse shots to distances just short of my fairway drivers, anny and hyzer. If you don't have one yet, you're missing out. (Posted on 11/8/2013)
ROC3 Review by Calen
Quality Value Price Service
I have had this disc for about 2 weeks, I have thought that rocks were for pros or people who throw 400+ but boy was I wrong. it is a disc that is perfect for me it is straight all the way then has a little fade at the end. This is a staple in the bag for any one who needs a good mid range. This is one amazing disc. (Posted on 11/5/2013)
New favorite Review by Derrick
Quality Value Price Service
I have found my new favorite disc. The plastic is nice and gummy, the flight is straight with a mild fade. I can create all kinds of lines with this disc. Throw it hyzer and it holds it. Throw it hard on an anhyzer and it works it way back to flat. Snake it through the woods by throwing a soft anhyzer. If I had to carry one midrange it would be a roc3. (Posted on 9/14/2013)
Positive Review by Adam
Quality Value Price Service
I have thrown all different types of mid ranges from the Buzzz to the Squall and other types of Rocs, but the Roc3 is by far the most consistent mid-range out there. It does whatever you want it to do, and it doesn't change flight patterns after hitting a few trees or baskets. (If you're lucky) Again, it is the most consistent mid range i've tested, not the farthest flying or the easiest disc for a turnover; but the most consistent, so if that is important to you, you should pick up a Roc3 immediately. (Posted on 8/27/2013)
"Rockin" My Bag Review by Kenton
Quality Value Price Service
I've never had any luck with the original Roc because they were a little bit to understable to make them my go to mid range, but the Roc3 is a totally different story. Throwing a mid range 300'+ never felt so easy. That's why the Roc3 will be "Rockin" my bag for a long time to come. (Posted on 8/20/2013)
Sweeet Review by Tuvia
Quality Value Price Service
Reliable, not forgiving. I love this disc! It lets you know what you're doing wrong and right. If you turn your wrist, it will flip over subtly, if you throw to hyzer or nose up, it is stable. But if you throw it just right.......perfect shot every time. (Posted on 7/9/2013)

Big fan of rocs and this one definitely makes it into the rotation being a bit faster and a slight bit less stable(than a rancho) sets it apart from others. The plastic is amazingly durable and has a great feel. (Posted on 5/25/2013)

Feels amazing in the hand. Don't pull it out in a big headwind but it's a great stable driving midrange. Handles torque really, really well. I throw this about 350' and it holds whatever line I put on it with a nice, late fade. Buy a couple, you won't regret it. (Posted on 5/21/2013)

Started with a little dome but now it is totally flat. It is def straight compared to my other Rocs, and the jolly launcher plastic is the best out. Please make an aviar in that plastic! (Posted on 4/13/2013)
Love this disc! Review by Mike
Price Value Quality Service
Im usually not much of a roc person but i love this disc! I have a lot of snap in my throw so I usually prefer more overstable discs like cros and gators. But this disc flies great! Has a little more fade than that of most rocs since its in the champ plastic. Great disc for those who love rocs and those who aren't the biggest fans. (Posted on 4/2/2013)

In advance of the UN Climate Change Conference in Lima, I spoke about the growing consensus that human activity is responsible for climate change. Here's a video and the full contents of my speech:
Mr President, slowly but surely we are seeing a consensus emerging in the world that human activity is responsible for climate change, in spite of some of the oddball conspiracy theories we have heard this morning. If the EU is to demonstrate what it does at its most effective, which is working together with cross-linkages and having different countries work together for their common interest, then it must do all it can do combine different areas of policy. That includes when we work on air quality, linking that to climate policy and linking development policy very clearly to climate policy as well.
We know that the effects of climate change will have a disproportionate effect on developing countries, because their infrastructures are far less able to cope with its effects. Therefore, I welcome the money that the Commission has announced that it will be supporting at Lima. We must have a deal in Paris that provides support for developing countries for sustainable growth so that new areas of economic growth are not dependent on mechanisms that degrade the environment.

Family Owned Estate
The Telegraph
"When I'm at home, I sleep in the sitting room, my old room is the master bedroom now," says Georgina Le Grice. She shows me a picture on her phone of a single mattress on the floor, surrounded by boxes and old furniture. "My colleagues find it funny to see the house on the website, then they see where I sleep. There's quite a difference." The image is startlingly out of kilter with the public face of 'home', Trereife House in Penzance, Cornwall, a beautiful Queen Anne manor with formal gardens and rolling grounds. You could almost describe it as slumming it.
Yet Georgina's eviction from her childhood room is just one of the sacrifices she's had make in order to keep the house going. Since appearing on the last series of Country House Rescue – the Channel 4 show that aims to turn around the fortunes of ailing country houses , back for a fourth series this week – Trereife (pronounced Treave) has been transformed from a struggling business with debts of £100,000 to a thriving bed and breakfast and events venue. There are four plush bedrooms and two self-catering flats for guests. Georgina's former room is now the Coleridge room, named after the Romantic poet who was a friend of the first of the family to live at Trereife, the writer CV Le Grice. The house and grounds are open to visitors during the summer, and this year they will host weddings most weekends and seven public events on the estate, including the Cornwall Design Fair.
The future looks bright for the house and the Le Grices, the seventh generation of the family to live at Trereife, but it was a close call. They are thankful for their TV experience. "Before we had the basis of some good stuff, but it was all so unprofessional," says Georgina, 27. Viewers saw Ruth Watson (to be replaced this series by writer Simon Davis) horrified at Trereife's poor signage, their one B&B room with a lime-scale ridden loo and ageing décor. She balked at Georgina's father Tim's failed business attempts, including a small animal zoo and a gypsy caravan park. "Dad was led down the garden path a bit ," says Georgina. "And he was too kind – charging too little for weddings and events."
Watson prescribed developing the B&B rooms, upping the quality and quantity of events on offer and increasing accommodation capacity with some eco tents pitched in the gardens. Warm, open and down-to-earth (not necessarily typical of previous Country House rescuees), Georgina, Tim, 25-year-old brother Peter and mother Liz set to the task with gusto, taking the programme's criticisms on the chin. When the show aired, the family received hundreds of emails simply wishing them luck. "It was really heart-warming," says Georgina. "You don't expect people to care because we've got this big house and there are far worse problems in the world."
Yet the family face relentlessly hard work and long hours to keep themselves afloat . Peter is at the helm in Cornwall during the week, with Liz and Tim (and family dog, Duke) keeping a hand in. Tim can often be found regaling guests with the house's literary history, former art librarian Liz helps with the B&B and keeps the produce stocks high (medlar jelly is Trereife's speciality). Any given weekend could find all four making and serving breakfast for the guests. Georgina is no less committed: she has been leading what she jokingly calls her 'double life' for more than two years now. "I've been at Trereife about 40 weekends in the last 12 months," she says. Her commute means getting the train down after a week doing her day job as a translation rights agent in a literary agency, then taking the 5am train back to London on a Monday to be in the office. "Mondays are fine, I sleep all the way," she says. "On Fridays there are often jolly groups, so I sit in the quiet carriage so I don't get too jealous."
Peter originally planned to go into teaching after his degree, but the allure of Trereife proved too great. He's now been working on the house for two years and has no plans to change – except perhaps to upgrade his own bedroom from a converted attic to a house in town .
Peter's role is a multifaceted one. Talking to Georgina, it's clear that her brother's position worries her. "People ring up and ask to speak to the manager, it's him. They need the accounts, that's him, the maintenance man, that's him, the bookings too." Recently, Peter went to his first wedding fair to market the house as a venue. "He had to make the stand look pretty and decorate it with rose petals and talk to the brides about flowers, it wasn't very natural for him but he got a few leads," says Georgina who calls her brother "an amazing person", qualities not lost on female viewers who took to Twitter to express their admiration after the programme.
Taking Ruth Watson's advice, the family now offer a more comprehensive wedding package, including a stay in the B&B rooms for the wedding party. And they've come a long way from the bargain prices previously offered; one wedding was grand enough to have Hugh Grant as one of the guests. "The first we knew about it was when a helicopter company asked if one of their clients could land in a field, as they had a wedding in the area – it turned out it was our wedding ," says Georgina. And Grant is not the only star to have come to Trereife – the house is also marketed as a film location and this year played host to Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens and Dominic Cooper as they shot their new film Summer in February, a period piece set at the Newlyn School of artists at the turn of the century. Peter played an extra "He got asked to be Dominic Cooper's naked body double but he declined as they weren't offering enough money."
While business is currently booming, they know they can't rest on their laurels.
Georgina estimates that last year around 40 percent of the guests had seen Country House Rescue, this year it has been less. Despite Georgina's worries, the bottom line speaks for itself: The house is now booked into summer and they are covering their costs and a bit more. They haven't yet stretched to the eco tents, instead choosing to put money back into the house.
Long term, Georgina admits to be "totally torn" between her London and Cornwall existence, but for now the double-life is here to stay. She is characteristically self-effacing when reflecting on what she considers her greatest achievement of the last year. "I can now do a perfect poached egg," she says after some deliberation. "Last May bank holiday, Pete and I were running the B&B and someone asked for poached eggs, I must have gone through 12. I sent Pete to tell the girl that our poaching machine was broken. She got fried. I still feel bad that he had to be the messenger."
Food for thought for the households embarking on the post Country House Rescue adventure over the coming months – one feels that if they can do it with half as much passion, enthusiasm and humility as the Le Grices then they've got an exciting journey ahead, even if it's not quite the one the producers had in mind.

Sue Irish in US, says Libyan minister
IRISH-AMERICANS should be sued for giving money to the IRA since the 1970s if Libya is to face demands for tens of millions worth of damages for sending Semtex and weaponry a decade later, a senior Libyan minister said last night.
Abdulati Alobidi, Libya's minister for European affairs, ruled out any possibility that Libya will make an out-of-court settlement with the families of IRA bomb victims suing for compensation.
During an interview in Tripoli, Mr Alobidi insisted that Libya would not negotiate with the families who launched a class-action case two years and who have received backing from a cross-party group of House of Commons MPs, including Democratic Unionist Jeffrey Donaldson.
Objecting to the legal action against his country, he said: "To come to blame us – send them first to trial.
"Go to the Irish-Americans who were giving them money to even buy arms.
"Why Libya? We will not negotiate with the government. If any citizen, any victim, wants to go to court here or there, we will have to defend ourselves through our lawyers," he told Channel 4.
Mr Donaldson will be one of a number of MPs to travel to Libya next month, assisted by foreign office officials, but Mr Alobidi said his government would not meet them.
On Monday Jason McCue, the London-based lawyer leading the families' class-action case, expressed strong confidence that the Libyans would agree to a damages deal within weeks.
Mr Alobidi indicated that Libya would mount its own legal action to sue the UK over the 1986 attack by American bombers on Libyan leader Muammar Gadafy's home, which killed his daughter, if the families' action continues.
"If there is this issue officially with us [over the IRA attacks], we will also put that raid in which they participated against Libya, against the house of the leader and killing his daughter, on the table.
"We will not negotiate with the government. If any citizen, any victim, wants to go to court here or there, we will have to defend ourselves through our lawyers," said Mr Alobidi.


text: :The mmap interface is supposed to be more efficient -- theoreticly -- :because it requires one less buffer-copying, and because it (together :with the possible madvise()) provides the kernel with more information :thus enabling it to make better (at least -- no worse) decisions. Well, I think you forgot my earlier explanation regarding buffer copying. Buffer copying is a very cheap operation if it occurs within the L1 or L2 cache, and that is precisely what is happening when you read() into a fixed buffer in a loop in a C program... your buffer is fixed in memory and is almost guarenteed to be in the L1/L2 cache, which means that the extra copy operation is very fast on a modern processor. It's something like 12-16 GBytes/sec to the L1 cache on an Athlon 64, for example, and 3 GBytes/sec uncached to main memory. Consider the cpu time cost, then, of the local copy on a 2GB file... the cpu time cost on an AMD64 is about 2/12 of one second. This is the number mmap would have to beat. As you can see by your timing results, even on your fastest box, processing a file around that size is only going to incur 1-2 seconds of real time overhead to do the extra buffer copy. 2 seconds is a hard number to beat. This is something you can calculate yourself. Time a dd from /dev/zero to /dev/null. crater# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=32k count=8192 268435456 bytes transferred in 0.244561 secs (1097620804 bytes/sec) amd64# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=32k count=8192 268435456 bytes transferred in 0.066994 secs (4006846790 bytes/sec) amd64# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=16m count=32 536870912 bytes transferred in 0.431774 secs (1243407512 bytes/sec) Try it for different buffer sizes (16K through 16MB) and you will get a feel for how the L1 and L2 caches effect copying bandwidth. These numbers are reasonably close to the raw memory bandwidth available to the cpu (and will be different depending on whether the buffer fits in the L1 or L2 caches, or doesn't fit at all). The mmap interface is not supposed to be more efficient, per say. Why would it be? There are overheads involved with mapping the page table entries and taking faults to map more. Even if you pre-mapped everything, there are still overheads involved in populating the page table and performing invlpg operations on the TLB to reload the entry, and for large data sets there is overhead involved with removing page table entries and invalidating the pte. On a modern cpu, where an L1 cache copy is a two cycle streaming operation, the several hundred (or more) cycles it takes to process a page fault or even just populate the page table is equivalent to a lot of copied bytes. This immediately puts mmap() at a disadvantage on a modern cpu, but of course it also depends on what the data processing loop itself is doing. If the data processing loop is sensitive to the L1 cache then processing larger chunks of data is going to be make it more efficient, and mmap() can certainly provide that where read() might require buffers too large to fit comfortably in the L1/L2 cache. On the otherhand, if the processing loop is relatively insensitive to the L1 cache (i.e. its small), then you can afford to process the data in smaller chunks, like 16K, without any significant penalty. mmap() is not designed to streamline large demand-page reads of data sets much larger then main memory. mmap() works best for data that is already cached in the kernel, and even then it still has a fairly large hurdle to overcome vs a streaming read(). This is a HARDWARE limitation. Drastic action would have to be taken in software to get rid of this overhead (we'd have to use 4MB page table entries, which come with their own problems). The overhead required to manage a large mmap'd data set can skyrocket. FreeBSD (and DragonFly) have heuristics that attempt to detect sequential operations like this with mmap'd data and to depress the page priority behind the read (so: read-ahead and depress-behind), and this works, but it only mitigates the additional overhead some, it doesn't get rid of it. For linear processing of large data sets you almost universally want to use a read() loop. There's no good reason to use mmap(). :=: read: 10.619u 23.814s 1:17.67 44.3% 62+274k 11255+0io 0pf+0w := :Well, now we are venturing into the domain of humans' subjective :perception... I'd say, 12% is plenty, actually. This is what some people :achieve by rewriting stuff in assembler -- and are proud, when it works ::-) Nobody is going to stare at their screen for one minute and 17 seconds and really care that something might take one minute and 27 seconds instead of one minute and 17 seconds. That's subjective truth. The type of test you want to do is this: [start timing] [read all data into memory] [stop timing] -> print timing results [start timing] [process all data] [stop timing] -> print timing results Now you have something practical you can look at... you can look at the I/O bandwidth required to bring the data into memory without the complications of whatever processing you are doing on the data being mixed in. *THEN* you can say something more definitive about the kernel overhead required to get the data into memory first, because you can definitely say what the 'bandwidth', or data rate, has been achieved in getting the data from the disk or kernel caches into your program's memory space (faulted in and everything, ready to access). You could then compare that to the times required to do it in a mixed environment (read-processing loop). If *THOSE* numbers are hugely different then you can say something definitive about the relative efficiency of the mixed mode processing verses just doing pure I/O, for both read() and mmap() independantly. :... :Put it into perspective -- 10-15% is usually the difference between :the latest processor and the previous one. People are willing to pay :hundreds of dollars premium... 15% is nothing anyone cares about except perhaps gamers. I certainly couldn't care less about 15%. 50%, on the otherhand, is something that I would care about. But upgrading isn't just a function of raw cpu speed, it's also a function of general improvements in hardware and hardware interfaces... usb, usb2, firewire, sata, and so forth. :... :Besides, the differences can be higher. Here is from md5-ing a :2097272832-bytes file over NFS (on a Gigabit network, no jumbo frames). :The machine runs a FreeBSD-current on a single P4 2GHz: : : mmap1: 17.115u 16.106s 2:20.84 23.5% 5+166k 0+0io 253421pf+0w : read1: 19.468u 12.179s 1:27.80 36.0% 4+163k 0+0io 0pf+0w : mmap2: 17.214u 13.265s 2:13.75 22.7% 5+165k 1+0io 204842pf+0w : read2: 19.142u 11.576s 1:20.22 38.2% 4+162k 0+0io 4pf+0w : :mmap is 87% slower (or read is 38% faster)! According to `systat -if', :mmap was reading at about 13Mb/s, while read was consistently above :20Mb/s. : :If this mmap-associated penalty is removed, the applications can save :some memory by not using the BUFSIZ (or bigger) buffers, and the :systems can save the time and effort of shuffling the memory from :kernel buffers into user space (and flushing the instruction and data :caches). The difference can be big -- on a CPU bound machine the sum :of user time and system time is much smaller with mmap. For example, :on this Solaris box running on Sparc-900MHz md5-ing a 16061698048-byte :file (FreeBSD behaves similarly on the P2 400MHz reported earlier): : : mmap: 215.290u 48.990s 7:18.81 60.2% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w : read: 184.240u 142.350s 5:46.31 94.3% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w : (264.28 vs. 326.59 CPU seconds) : :but read manages to saturate the CPU better -- 94% vs. 60% -- and win :the "wall clock" race repeatedly... : :Yours, : : -mi I think this points to inefficiencies in NFS's getpages() interface over its read() interface. The read() interface (for NFS) definitely has better read-ahead characteristics. The NFS getpages() interface in FreeBSD is about as primitive as it is possible to make it and still work, and its only marginally better in DragonFly (we get rid of some KVM allocations and deallocations). In fact, I don't even think the NFS getpages interface uses the IOD's like the read interface does. I think it might actually be a synchronous interface. It would be nice if someone were to improve the NFS getpages interface. I might do it myself, if I can find the time down the road. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon at backplane.com>

Last night I received an e-mail from my airline telling me the aircraft I would be on likely has WiFi but after a bad experience last year where promised WiFi never materialized I decided to download all my email locally just to be sure. Thankfully I was right to take the precaution. Usually I use Remote Desktop to get onto my desktop machine to access my e-mail which is located on TMC's servers but when flying I download my inbox via IMAP4.
The downsides are that the graphics in many e-mails don't show up and when you delete e-mails remotely and sync later the messages are permanently deleted.
It has been a long while since I have flown with no WiFi and my inbox which was down to a few hundred is now at the few thousand level. The reason is I generally check old e-mail when I don't have new e-mail to check. Not the best system but old habits die hard.
I hope to wipe out a few thousand of these in the next few hours on my trip to Dallas, Texas. So in a way I am actually glad there is no WiFi on the flight.
One thing I am grateful for is that I decided to used the cached stations feature of Slacker (I believe a subscription may be required) so I can listen to lots of music and even comedy without any Internet access and having to deal with downloading it all myself.
More to come later.

Principles and Practice of Chromatography - The Development Process > Elution Development > Page 6
Frontal Analysis
This type of chromatographic development is rarely used and probably is of academic interest only; it and can only be effectively employed in a column distribution system. The sample is fed continuously onto the column as a dilute solution in the mobile phase in contrast to displacement and elution development, where discrete samples are placed on the system and the separation subsequently processed. Frontal analysis can only separate part of the first compound in a relatively pure state, each subsequent component being mixed with those previously eluted. Consider a three component mixture, containing solutes (A), (B) and (C) as a dilute solution in the mobile phase that is fed continuously onto a column. The first component to elute, (A), will be that solute held least strongly in the stationary phase. Then the second solute, (B), will elute but it will be mixed with the first solute. Finally, the third solute (C), will elute in conjunction with (A) and (B). It is clear that only solute (A) is eluted in a pure form and, thus, frontal analysis would be quite inappropriate for most practical analytical applications. This development technique has been completely superseded by elution development.
Elution Development
Elution development is best described as a series of absorption-extraction processes which are continuous from the time the sample is injected into the distribution system until the time the solutes exit from it. The elution process is depicted in Figure 1. The concentration profiles of the solute in both the mobile and stationary phases are depicted as Gaussian in form. Equilibrium occurs between the two phases when the probability of a solute molecule striking the boundary and entering one phase is the same as the probability of a solute molecule randomly acquiring sufficient kinetic energy to leave the stationary phase and enter the other phase. The distribution system is continuously thermodynamically driven toward equilibrium. However, the moving phase will continuously displace the concentration profile of the solute in the mobile phase forward, relative to that in the stationary phase which, in a grossly exaggerated form, is depicted in Figure 1. This displacement causes the concentration of solute in the mobile phase at the front of the peak to exceed the equilibrium concentration with respect to that in the stationary phase. As a consequence, a net quantity of solute in the front part of the peak is continually entering the stationary phase from the mobile phase in an attempt to re-establish equilibrium. At the rear of the peak, the reverse occurs. As the concentration profile moves forward, the concentration of solute in the stationary phase at the rear of the peak is now in excess of the equilibrium concentration.

People use liquid soap in many forms. You can use it as dishwashing liquid, liquid detergent or liquid hand soap. Ingredients in liquid soap act as de-greasers and stain removers and produce suds for lather. When combined, liquid soap ingredients produce a cleaning agent to wash dishes, hands or clothes effectively.
Basic Liquid Soap Ingredients
Liquid dishwashing soap, liquid detergent and liquid hand soap include the following ingredients: abrasives, alkalis, antimicrobial agents, antiredeposition, bleaches, colorants, corrosion inhibitors, enzymes, fragrances, hydrotropes, opacifiers, preservatives, processing aids, solvents and suds control agents.
Cleaning Ingredients
Abrasives act as a scrubbing, smoothing or polishing agent. Alkalis balance the acidity of the other ingredients by increasing the performance of surfactants, builders and alkalinity. Alkalinity removes acidic, fatty and oily buildup. Antimicrobial agents kill disease-causing microorganisms. Antiredeposition stops dirt from resettling after wash removal. Bleaches lift, lighten and remove set-in stains. Bleaches are also a disinfectant. Fragrances cover over basic ingredients, eliminate dirt odors and identify the product. Suds control agents include stabilizers and suppressors. Stabilizers activate the cleaning power of suds, and suppressors control foaming if interfering with cleaning. Suds control agents determine foaming capabilities of the product.
Enzymes break dirt down into simpler forms for easier removal of soil. In laundry, enzymes reduce pilling and graying effects on clothes and articles made with cotton. Enzymes will also remove embedded soil.
Product-Protecting Ingredients
Colorants are pigments or dyes that identify the color of liquid soap. Corrosion inhibitors protect metal machine parts, finishes, china patterns and metal utensils. Hydrotropes keep the product homogenized, preventing it from separating into layers. Opacifiers make the product opaque. Preservatives stop natural effects like aging, decay and discoloration from occurring. Processing agents form stability and ensure proper flow and uniform density. Processing agents are also a part of the manufacturing process.

Rock and roll grandads Ozzy Osbourne and Keith Richards have been named in a poll of the most controversial stars of the music world.
They were both beaten to the top spot by Sex Pistol Sid Vicious, although former hellraiser Ozzy was a close second in the survey by Orange.co.uk.
Younger stars such as Amy Winehouse (fourth) and Britney Spears (eighth) also made the top 10.
Ozzy's on-stage "animal eating" and crazy behaviour on his reality TV show have apparently cemented his reputation as a bad boy of rock.
Courtney Love and Madonna also made the list, proving that girls are just as bad as boys, while Michael Jackson, Marilyn Manson and Pete Doherty complete the top 10.
The website questioned 2,000 music fans for the poll.

text: The use of quantitative performance measures to evaluate the productivity, impact and quality of research has spread to almost all parts of public R&D systems, including Big Science where traditional measures of technical reliability of instruments and user oversub- scription have been joined by publication counts to assess scientific productivity. But such performance assessment has been shown to lead to absurdities, as the calculated average cost of single journal publications easily may reach hundreds of millions of dollars. In this article, the issue of productivity and impact is therefore further qualified by the use of additional measures such as the immediacy index as well as network analysis to evaluate qualitative aspects of the impact of contemporary Big Science labs. Connecting to previous work within what has been called ''facilitymetrics'', the article continues the search for relevant biblio- metric measures of the performance of Big Science labs with the use of a case study of a recently opened facility that is advertised as contributing to ''breakthrough'' research, by using several more measures and thus qualifying the topic of performance evaluation in contem- porary Big Science beyond simple counts of publications, citations, and costs.

LOS ANGELES — Former Playboy model Karen McDougal is suing to break a 2016 contract that reportedly requires her to keep silent about an affair with Donald Trump years before he became president.
>> For the latest Trump coverage, visit Jamie Dupree's Washington Insider blog
In the complaint — which was obtained by The New York Times — McDougal's lawyers allege that she had a "10-month relationship with Mr. Trump" in 2006. They say McDougal decided to pursue a lawsuit because "she has become aware of the broad effort to silence and intimidate her and others."
The former Playmate is suing in the Los Angeles Superior court, and she's charging American Media Inc. with paying her $150,000 for her story, then killing it. American Media Inc. owns the National Enquirer, which has been friendly to Trump during his candidacy and tenure in the White House.
McDougal also claims that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was involved in the deal and that she was misled in the proceedings.
She is the second woman to accuse the president's personal lawyer of paying her to keep silent about an extramarital relationship with Trump. McDougal says she was paid $150,000 for her silence — earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal outlined payments Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels. Both women claim that their affairs with Trump occurred in 2006, after he married Melania Trump.
Daniels is currently being sued by Cohen, who claims that she violated the confidentiality agreement she signed in 2016. Daniels' story doesn't look like it's ending anytime soon, as she's lined up for an interview with "60 Minutes."

Concrete as an indoor flooring material is a relatively modern option. It is an eco-friendly, fairly inexpensive flooring choice that is versatile and highly functional. Adding a color or stencil gives concrete a more aesthetically appealing look and may be made to resemble marble, river rock or wood. This diversity is ideal for just about any decorating style. Concrete is a material with both positive and negative aspects for homeowners to consider prior to construction.
Pro: Tough Material
Concrete is among the hardest materials in the construction world, which makes it among the most durable. As long as it is laid and cured properly, it is highly scratch resistant, an ideal characteristic for flooring. The floors are long lasting, and as long as they are cleaned and cared for properly, they almost never need replacement. Concrete is widely available at home improvement and similar retail outlets, making it easily attainable and often less expensive than stone or tile alternatives.
Pro: Hygiene
Concrete floors are highly recommended by the American Lung Association for people with allergies and asthma. It is especially helpful at preventing buildup of animal dander, dust and dust mites. These allergens live deep in a carpet's matting, making removing them from the home difficult even with a vacuum. Concrete does not present this problem and may be swept, vacuumed or mopped as needed.
Pro: Eco-Friendly
Standard concrete, made by mixing Portland cement with sand, gravel and water, is not an eco-friendly material because of its use of fossil fuels for manufacturing. For greener options, homeowners can find more modern mixtures, which replace Portland cement with fly ash, a byproduct of coal burning, or varieties that use blast furnace slag, a byproduct of iron manufacturing. Both of these mixtures produce durable products with a lower environmental cost. Like standard concrete, these products are widely available at nationwide retailers and home improvement stores.
Con: Additional Labor
Concrete countertops require just a few materials, and for that reason are less costly than granite, marble and sometimes even tile. Though the low cost may be tempting, homeowners should consider the highly specialized labor involved in the installation process. If installed incorrectly, concrete may be obviously uneven and, ultimately, won't settle properly, which may result in a more easily damaged floor or one that cracks. Concrete floors may be installed on a do-it-yourself basis to save money, but pay careful attention to directions, specifically those on mixing and curing techniques.
Con: Tough Material
The negative aspects of concrete flooring are due more to the polishing itself than the concrete. Adding a polish to the floor makes it more slippery, which may lead to more falls and injuries. Because of its rigid nature, concrete tends to shatter or break any dropped objects and may cause some foot fatigue after standing for long periods. Some homeowners complain that concrete's natural temperature retention makes it colder to step on throughout the year, but this is easily solved by adding a few area rugs.
Con: Cracks
Occasionally, temperature fluctuations may cause cracks in a concrete floor. As with outdoor applications, concrete will grow and shrink during different times of the year. These changes, even if they're subtle, may cause minor cracks to the concrete's surface. With a polished or otherwise decorated concrete floor, these cracks may go unnoticed and in some instances may give a bit of character to the room. For those situations where the cracks are too big to ignore or just not liked, a few simple fixes may be applied. A waterproof sealant or resin may be applied to seal the crack and prevent it from becoming worse. Additionally, a cement overlay, a thin layer of cement, may be applied over the top of cracks to make them invisible. Though easy and effective, reproducing the color and texture may be a chore.

Pawnbroker Report Trends & Steady Industry Growth Original Article At: nationalpawnbrokers.org
The National Pawnbrokers Association (NPA) today announced the results of the NPA 2015 Trend Survey that assesses how changes in the U.S. economy have affected the pawn industry since the beginning of 2014. Findings of the survey demonstrate conservative growth within the industry over the past year, as well as a dip in the number gold-based loans and gold-buying transactions. This decrease in gold-based transactions, according to industry experts, is due to consumers having released disposable gold during peak gold price periods.
While gold-based transactions may have leveled off, the majority of pawnbrokers surveyed reported a three to five percent increase in overall business. Collateral loans, also known as pawn loans, remain the core of pawnbrokers' businesses, with over 80 percent of pawnbrokers reporting that pawn loans are the most common transactions. According to the survey, the national average pawn loan amount remained at $150.
"Americans continue to turn to pawn stores for non-recourse, collateral based loans," said Ben Levinson, president of the National Pawnbrokers Association. "While business has grown more conservatively in recent years, increased public awareness, a positive image, and consumer-friendly stores attract new customers to pawn stores every day. "
The Trend Survey indicated that over 85 percent of all pawn loans are repaid, which is consistent with the national average in 2013. "Pawn store customers tend to borrow only what they need, as indicated by the low average national loan amount," Levinson added.
Pawnbrokers surveyed predict steady, continued growth during the 2015 fiscal year. They also anticipate that the number of pawn loans will increase in the upcoming year, but they are doubtful that the retail side will experience as much growth.

Don't Make Weight Loss Your Main Exercise Goal

Losing weight is definitely a worthy goal of an exercise program, but it shouldn't be your main goal. We know you have to expend 3,500 more calories per week than you take in to lose one pound. That breaks down into a 500-calorie-per-day deficit.
Losing weight is definitely a worthy goal of an exercise program, but it shouldn't be your main goal. We know you have to expend 3,500 more calories per week than you take in to lose one pound. That breaks down into a 500-calorie-per-day deficit.
A better exercise goal would be to build muscle through strength training along with burning calories through cardio training. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories they burn carrying out your daily activities. So some of that 500 calorie deficit could come from muscles burning more calories, along with what you burn doing cardio training. Of course along with an increase in muscle size, and we are not talking about a lot of increase - just a boost in toning, comes an increase in self-confidence. If you look good, you feel good.
However without also a change in diet, it is difficult at best to have a 500 calorie deficit day-in/day-out. In most cases, it would mean at least an additional hour of exercise at a moderate intensity activity. As the old saying goes "You can out-exercise a bad diet program." It is so true.
Another goal of your exercise program should be getting to and living a healthy lifestyle. If you are badly out of shape, it will take a while, but still doable. Through a combination of reducing your calorie intake by 250 calories and burning 250 more calories through extra muscle and exercising, you have your 500 calorie deficit for the day and probably only had to exercise an additional 30 minutes or so.
As far as healthy eating as an integral part of your healthy lifestyle, concentrate on eating more fiber by eating fresh fruits and vegetable, whole grain, and lean meat and plant protein. Not only will this diet fill you up and keep you full because of the extra fiber, but these foods tend to have fewer calories, so you consume fewer calories without reducing the bulk. It is an easy way to reduce your daily caloric intake.
Be sure to keep hydrated. Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. More if you are exercising outdoors in a hot climate.
Not only will fluids keep your body functioning better, but they also help flush out waste from your body, which can also help with weight loss. If you concentrate on building muscle and burning calories as exercise goals, and eat a healthy diet, the weight will naturally come off and stay off.

|I enjoyed ArmadilloCon so much last year,
I thought I'd try out Houston's version.
After driving to Houston and getting checked in and typing up my last critique for Saturday morning's Writers Workshop I was pretty wiped, but I managed to make it to a couple panels.
Of Blood Spatters and Fingerprints: Clues to Fool the Savviest Fan
Martha Wells, Patrice Sarath, Bill Crider, and Ramirez
A discussion of how mystery writers work clues into their stories without telegraphing the ending. It's tricky walking the fine line between believability and predictability to create a satisfying mystry. All writers being different, many approaches were discussed.
Cue the Evil Laugh: Lessons Learned from Evil Geniuses
Tanya Huff, Rosemary Clement-Moore, Rhonda Eudaly, and A. Lee Martinez
All about evil villain stereotypes and how smarter villains make for a better story. This was a lively panel where villains and villainy were discussed. Personages mentioned ranged from Thantos to Wile E. Coyote. Everyone agreed that good heroes need strong villains, and villains need to be relatable (you have to understand their motivations). Martinez has the theory that villains are often likeable because of their committment to their goal and their crazy ways, like how the riddler MUST frame everything in a riddle even when it makes things more difficult for him. Interesting. Glad I stayed up for this one!
Writers' Workshop
I spent the morning in the Writers' Workshop led by Martha Wells. It was a good solid critique session with three other participants in our group. We had time, after talking about our stories and chapters, to talk about some of the larger issues regarding world building and publishing. Very worth my time and you can't beat the price!
I spent the afternoon on the science panels. Being in Houston, a couple NASA people were kind enough to grace ApolloCon with their expertise.
Saturday Science with Paul Abell
Dr. Abell is the lead scientist for Planetary Small Bodies assigned to the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Directorate at the NASA Johnson Space Center. Wow! What a title. He gave a really interesting talk about the study of NEO (i.e. asteroids), and he brought slides!
100 Year Starship
Al Jackson, Stanley Love, Paul Abell, and Todd Caldwell
|He was dressed slightly more casually for the con.
This panel took a little while to find its feet, but once it got going there was an interesting discussion about the science and challenges and rewards of interstellar travel.
Enter the Dragon: SpaceX and the Future of Manned Spaceflight
Al Jackson, Paul Abell, Stanley Love, and Scott Padget
A discussion about how private space companies will shape the future of crewed spaceflight and space exploration. This was a lively panel with some real world information and anecdotes from the people who make it all happen.
I finished off the afternoon with Austin (both Jane and Texas!) author Patrice Sarath. She read an excerpt from The Crow God's Girl, her stand alone novel of the Godarth Wood Series. The excerpt sounded quite intriguing, so I have yet another book to load onto my Kindle.
|I made sure to stop by ArmadilloCon's Party since I'll be seeing them next month!
Writing 101
Tanya Huff, Kerry Tolan, Bev Hale, and Julia Mandala
Billed as tips from pros on how to get started, stay motivated, and how to see your Big Idea through to the end. The wide-open topic seemed well suited to the first panel of the morning. It was fun with lots of real world writing advice and encouragement.
The Best YA You and Your Teen are not Reading
Patrice Sarath, Bev Hale, and Katy Pace
Well attended and in a small room, which happily encouraged more of a group discussion. Very enjoyable and now I have another long list of books to read – I may have to delegate some of these titles to my daughter!
Authors and books mentioned included (but were by no means limited to):
The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa
Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Scott Westerfield (Uglies, Leviathan)
The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
M. T. Anderson and Paolo Bacigalupi
