In our application,We are thinking to develop a project implementing networking (socket programming) and multi threading
Is it possible to develop a chat application with the following requirements:
1) number of clients need to communicate with the server
2) number of experts need to communicate with the server(many-to-one).
3) the server has to exchange the messages(text, voice, video) between connected clients and experts(LIVE SUPPORT) (one-to-one).
4) Further the experts must view the connected clients list in their frame ..
Is it possible to achieve this requirement using these technologies .. If no, then which technology do you think supports the requirement??????
Thanking you in advance !!!!!!!

The ILO's most recent global estimate is that 115 million children are involved in hazardous work. This is work that by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out, is likely to harm children's health, safety or morals. Children working in many different industries and occupations can be exposed to such risks and the problem is global, affecting industrialised as well as developing countries.
work is among the worst forms of child labour which the international
community has targeted for elimination by 2016. The need for urgent
action in order to reach this target was both the theme of The Hague
Global Child Labour Conference in 2010 which adopted a Roadmap for the
elimination of the worst forms of child labour, and has been endorsed in
the ILO's Global Action Plan.
The 2011 World Day Against Child Labour provides a global spotlight on hazardous child labour, and call for urgent action to tackle the problem. On this World Day we call for:
Created in 1992, IPEC has grown to become the biggest dedicated child labour programme in the world and the largest technical cooperation programme within the ILO. It is now operational in some 90 countries, benefiting millions of children worldwide.

'Black National Anthem' At State Of City Stirs Controversy
One of the most notable incidents from Tuesday's State of the City address occurred even before the mayor's speech began. After the Pledge of Allegiance, Rene Marie was introduced to sing the national anthem. But that's not what she sang.
Martin actually sang the tune of the traditional national anthem with the lyrics to "Lift Every Voice and Sing." It's a song some have called the National Black Anthem, the Negro National Anthem or the Black National Anthem. Once she finished performing, there was a moment of awkward silence and then the crowd gave her mild applause. Marie said she understood why the audience was confused, since the song sounded familiar but the lyrics were different.
"Art is supposed to make you think. I wanted to express how I felt, being a black woman living in this country," Marie told 7NEWS.
The Denver Mayor's Office said it wasn't aware that Marie was planning to sing that version of the song.
"We were as surprised as anyone that jazz singer René Marie did not sing our national anthem at today's State of the City ceremony, as our staff had requested," Mayor John Hickenlooper said in prepared statement.
"As I listened to her sing, I assumed she would eventually move into the traditional Star Spangled Banner. I called her personally this afternoon to understand what happened. She explained her song was an artistic expression of her love for her country. She said she meant no disrespect of any kind and that her song was in no way intended to be a political statement. She apologized for any problems she may have created," Hickenlooper said. "I'm disappointed that this matter has been a distraction from the great work and significant accomplishments of our city employees over the past year and the many important initiatives on tap for the coming year.

If you think this is bad just wait until Obama is Prez.
For instance, do you know what the word reparation means?
Having the Blacks sing the Black National Anthem will be the least of our problems.
Life as we know it will be over. America will be fucked.

Contrary to popular belief, slavery didnt end with Abraham Lincoln in 1865. Experts estimate that today there are 27 million people enslaved around the world.
Contemporary Child Slavery in Mauritania
By Libbie Snyder
For the past 800 years, child slaves in Mauritania have been as invisible in their own community as the countrys institution of slavery has been to international eyes. In Mauritania today, an estimated one million of the population live as slaves and approximately half of slaves are children.
There are many people far worse off than the decendents of slaves. Not to mention the fact that worldwide, slavery has been so prevalent, we are all probably decendent of slaves.-
In actual dollars, President Obamas $4.4 trillion in deficit spending in just three years is 37 percent higher than the previous record of $3.2 trillion (held by President George W. Bush) in deficit spending for an entire presidency. Its no small feat to demolish an 8-year record in just 3 years.
Under Obamas own projections, interest payments on the debt are on course to triple from 2010 (his first budgetary year) to 2018, climbing from $196 billion to $685 billion annually.
07-01-2008, 11:35 PMLift Every Voice And Sing Lyrics:
Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered;
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Thou Who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.
What's ironic here is that blacks are way overrepresented in Denver city employee demographics. Denver is really a white/Hispanic town.
The Looper is just an idiot.

I hope they put a stop-payment on that check. She broke the contract.
noonwitchGuest07-02-2008, 09:47 AM
We sing the first verse only during Black History month in my church, just like we sing the Battle Hymn of The Republic on Memorial Day weekend, and probably this Sunday, we will sing God Bless America. I like the words to the first verse, it's a good song if you just stick that. I will note that "Lift Every Voice And Sing" is sung at pretty much every formal city government function in Detroit.
She should have sang both songs, with "Star-Spangled Banner" first.

I have no objection to any of the lyrics, and the music is beautiful. But it's not the song she was contracted to sing.

After appearing on the side of area milk cartons for months and months, we've come to the realization that our beloved Percival, the Pothole Pig, is not coming home to us. The celebrated swine has either found a new life somewhere else, or perhaps became a delicious and nutritious part of someone's breakfast at some point.
Whatever the case, we will miss him and be forever in his debt as his dedication to the City of Destiny led to so many nasty potholes being filled.
This week, Carter the Crater Gator found another impressive road divot to stretch out in. To be honest, we've had a difficult time with this critter. He can't get over the fact that he'll always be second-fiddle when compared to Percival, and frankly, he's been getting a little snarky. While we've let him know that his replacement could waddle through the front door of the Tacoma Weekly office at any moment, the toothy sourpuss has countered with his own threat of "pulling a Percival" and disappearing.
With this in mind, we are still in the process of trying out new pothole seeking varmints. If you've got any ideas, please send them to email@example.com

POV: What is your motivation as a filmmaker? Why did you chose documentary in this case?
Judith Katz: This is my first documentary film. My film background is in development, looking for plays and talent from the theatre world that might be suitable for feature films. I never thought about making a documentary before this one. After meeting the women in Eve Ensler's group and later in my own group (I too am a volunteer teacher) I immediately felt that the only way to tell their stories and make them known to audiences was in a documentary. Part of the film is about a group of celebrated actresses coming to the prison to perform in person; even with very little in the way of production values, they did a brilliant job, yet nothing could be as strong as actually meeting the women.
POV: What generally inspires your interest?
Katz: People, especially people who seek to find the truth, both in art and life.
Gary Sunshine: I'm mostly drawn to people who find themselves on the outside of mainstream culture, either by choice or force-how they fight to find their way to the middle or to protect their position in the margins.
POV: What inspired you to make What I Want My Words To Do To You?
Katz: After visiting Bedford for the first time, I couldn't stop talking about my experience. But my words were inadequate to describe what I saw and how I felt. My perceptions of who women in prison are had been shattered, and continue to be shattered as I work with the women, and I wanted to share that experience with as many people as possible. I was also bowled over, in 1998, by the incredible generosity of the actresses, who had come to perform for the inmate population. I still remember the faces of the inmates, many of whom had never before seen a live theatrical performance, as they heard their words performed by these talented women. In a world inundated with tabloids and cynical gossip columnists, we rarely hear about famous people doing something unselfish. As their visit was a part of the story, I was delighted to be able to document it as well.
POV: What were your goals in making What I Want My Words To Do To You? And what would you like to see happen with it?
Katz: My goals were to recreate my experience walking into the prison in 1998, and to present the women as the complex individuals I have come to know. To allow people to look beyond the clichés, derisive jokes, and horror of women in prison, to the women themselves.
To allow the women to be defined by something other than their crimes. I recently showed the film to some guards and administrators at the prison, jobs that often causes burn out and frustration, even among the most dedicated. Several said the film was life altering — reminding them of why they wanted to work at a prison in the first place. One, pointed inside the gates, and told me with a lump in her throat that after 20-years, she had had forgotten about the pain and remorse inside, but would hopefully never forget again, as long as she lived. I would like to see the film continue to touch people and hopefully inspire them to do what they can to make sure at risk women don't land in prison, and that those already in prison are helped to get an education. I believe that a society that examines its violence, is a society on the way towards healing. I would like people who see our film to come away with some of that healing.
Sunshine: My chief goal was to present the women with dignity. And with some measure of objectivity. To portray them with compassion, yet to avoid sentimentality at all costs.I want this film to be seen and discussed and debated by people who are in the thick of the prison reform movement, and by those who have never met an inmate before. And for there to be moments-even nanoseconds-when viewers listen to one of these women, and, putting judgement aside, say, "Oh yeah, I know exactly what she's talking about." Or, better yet, "She's just like me."
POV: What was the most surprising thing to you in making What I Want My Words To Do To You?
Katz: How the women adapted to having a camera in the classroom, yet remained focused and spontaneous in the group. Also, how seamlessly Gary and Madeleine turned the footage into a cohesive film; at one point, for reasons I never learned, the Department of Corrections refused to let us continue shooting. We were eventually granted access again, but it was a real challenge to fill in the lost time.
Sunshine: I'd say my biggest surprise came early, before the film was born. Eve, in a big, generous leap of faith, asked me to work with her creating a script out of the women's writing for the very first benefit performance, back in 1998. She handed me about 200 pages of essays and poems. I was blown away by the quality of the writing. Some clearly had craft and years of practice behind them. But even the less refined pieces just throbbed with an honesty and a yearning to communicate deep, shattering truths. I got to know the women through their writing long before I actually met them.
POV: What are you currently working on or what would you like to be working on?
Katz: I am teaching two classes at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility; a theatre workshop that Melissa Newman and I have been working on for four years, and this semester, college level class on the social impact of documentary films. I am also back covering theatre for Paramount Pictures, and am in the early stages of producing a play. And, I am a member of the faculty of The New School University, where I teach a class on working in the film industry. I would like to continue to do all of those, and hopefully raise some money for the college program at Bedford so that the women continue to get an education, which statistics prove is the best way to avoid recidivism.
Sunshine: I am currently writing a new play called Star of Mine, a somewhat savage comedy about intimacy, friendship and obsession.

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
A medium radial brush is used on medium to long hair types to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures or to add body to straight hair. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.
Starting at the nape/back of the hair, place your brush on top of the section and blow-dryer down starting from the roots and using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Make sure to follow the brush with the blow-dryer in an outwards direction. If you like fuller flicks, hold the ends out and roll them up into the brush and apply the heat for longer.
To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.
When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.
A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.
Starting from the back, take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed.
Starting at the front, take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until all of the hair through your front and sides has been curled.
Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
Apply some hard wax to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting your strands for soft volume.
Lacquer is great for strong hold. A small amount is all that is required to finish and should be applied from an arms length distance to the entire style.
Your suggestions and ideas are important to us.
