It is really where outlining-as-you-go can prevent problems. For instance, I might have a ten point outline for the whole story and as I catch up to various points I may go back over the outline and flesh out points with another outline. If a scene is really tricky, my outline might be as specific as three points for five pages. But something that is really simple may never get more than a "this happens". The most important writing tips I've ever gotten: Write when you're good (I'm best first thing in the morning). Also, keep a bunch of "quick fixes" in mind if you're having trouble.
25 Insights on Becoming a Better Writer. When George Plimpton asked Ernest Hemingway what the best training for an aspiring writer would be in a 1954 interview, Hem replied, "Let's say that he should go out and hang himself because he finds that writing well is impossibly difficult.
Then he should be cut down without mercy and forced by his own self to write as well as he can for the rest of his life. At least he will have the story of the hanging to commence with." Writers block.
Writing Worth Reading. Locus Online Features: Cory Doctorow: Writing in the Age of Distraction. From Locus Magazine, January 2009 We know that our readers are distracted and sometimes even overwhelmed by the myriad distractions that lie one click away on the Internet, but of course writers face the same glorious problem: the delirious world of information and communication and community that lurks behind your screen, one alt-tab away from your word-processor.
The single worst piece of writing advice I ever got was to stay away from the Internet because it would only waste my time and wouldn't help my writing. This advice was wrong creatively, professionally, artistically, and personally, but I know where the writer who doled it out was coming from. Every now and again, when I see a new website, game, or service, I sense the tug of an attention black hole: a time-sink that is just waiting to fill my every discretionary moment with distraction.

I'm always flattered when a reader classifies one of my books that way. I like knowing readers had a hard time putting one of my books down (as opposed to being unable to pick it back up!). That doesn't mean my books are better than another author whose voice and story is slower and more flowing. Because there are stories you savor and read languidly much the same way you sip a rich creamy mug of hot cocoa. However, my stories are more like an iced coffee that you guzzle on a hot summer day. Academic Coaching & Writing. Feb 07, 2011 by Caroline Eisner To become a good writer in your field or discipline, as Ken Hyland writes, is to pay close attention to your audience.
Think about your rhetorical purpose and the academic standards of the genre in which you are writing. Are you clear about how to meet the expectations of your audience, to explain the purpose of why you are writing, and to both meet the needs of your audience and your purpose within the genre you are writing? When thinking about your academic audience, remember that academic writing is devoted to topics and questions that are of interest to this audience.
You must find a topic or a question that is relevant and appropriate to this audience. Outlines: channeling your writing flow. Outlines are an old-fashioned but very useful tool of writing. Unfortunately, they are nowadays somewhat out of fashion, replaced by "spontaneous writing", encouraging writers to go with the flow rather than to follow a pre-defined structure. Though I practice and recommend "spontaneous writing" as a way to overcome "the writer's block", I have recently re-assessed the indispensable role of outlines in producing good writing. Why do we need writing outlines? Because the old truth that we cannot simultaneously something and also applies to writing. Normally you cannot write and decide to write about (not only in your text in general, but also in a particular section or paragraph).
Review/Art; 'Andy Warhol, Cars': Last Works of the Artist. ''Andy Warhol, Cars,'' an exhibition that opens today at the Solomon R.
Guggenheim Museum, is an unusually seamless instance of corporate sponsorship. The 47 paintings and drawings in this show constitute a series commissioned by Daimler-Benz, the West German car manufacturer, to celebrate 100 years of automotive design using images of Daimler-Benz cars. What's more, the Guggenheim stop of this exhibition, which originated at the Kunsthalle Tubingen in West Germany, has been sponsored by Daimler-Benz. In his catalogue introduction, Edzard Reuter, who is chairman of Daimler-Benz AG, ponders this perfect fit: ''Does this then amount to patronage of the arts as a form of advertising by alternate means?
'' He seems to answer this question, which he writes is ''more complicated than one realizes,'' to his satisfaction and in the negative. The perfection of Warhol's successful paintings, while mysterious in their intuitive understanding of mass culture, never seemed all that complex.

Hi. Thanks for creating this plugin. Is it possible for me to adjust it on the back end to make it appear in the Cart page instead of just the in the intro of the Checkout page, and without the first section of the notice ("Tip the delivery man?") and therefore just allowing the "Set the Amount" text to be displayed in the Cart page?
No one notices the text on the Checkout page, making the plugin pretty useless to have installed. Please let me know. Thanks!

Phil Adamson (John Saxon): You know you're out of your goddamn mind, Johnson. You're out of your mind, and you're over-the-hill. First you turn my trailer into a goddamn whorehouse, now it's an insane asylum!
John Saxon's villainy as the FastCo oil company rep is hilarious. Aside from the wonderfully written dialogue, his facial expressions and gestures are fantastic. Lonnie "Lucky Man" Johnson's (William Smith) team consists of a Western genre family-like trio, with character names such as Billy the Kid, P.J. and Elder; all wonderful performances. Gary "The Blacksmith" Black (Cedric Smith) is Lonnie's top competitor. He is neither a one-dimensional friend nor foe. His personal team members, known as Stoner and Meatball, are a funny pair. Stoner is likable and not-such-a-bad guy, while Meatball is a classic A-hole. Candy (Judy Foster) is Miss FastCo, a not-so-dumb blonde with feelings for Billy, and who makes an admirable stand when her self-respect is threatened by her employer's demands. William Smith and Claudia Jennings are the long-distance relationship lovers that I, on a personal level, have grown strongly attached to. Both, individually and together, add to the film something magical and nostalgic for me that I find very rare in most movies that I've seen. The scenes involved with them makes me feel like a small boy spending time with a favorite aunt and uncle.Read more ›
Divorce proceedings underway, David changed focus to his consuming passion of the automobile. The final product was a decent drag strip movie, "a good B-Movie" he admits. The good versus evil tension included in most racing films is combined with some point of view shots from the car racers proper, in itself, well worth the price of the rental. Spending most of the film arguing with John Saxon, his greasy sponsor from Fast Company Motor Oil, William Smith plays Lonnie 'Lucky Man' Johnson, whose iconic status as drag strip guru is tested race after race. His real stroke of luck however comes through his onscreen squeeze, November Playmate 1969 Claudia Jennings. This marked consecutive attempts at casting notables from the adult industry.
Attempting to recreate the similar appeal and subsequent audience draw that worked for him in Rabid, Ms Jennings' luck ran out in an ironic off-screen car-accident, taking her young life shortly after the film was completed.

This was divine! I'm "supposedly" on a diet so instead of deep-frying the eggplant I sprayed them with some canola oil and baked them at around 200 degrees C. I used a local Tzfatit cheese instead of feta, it's not as salty. This made for a yummy supper, and we fought over the last cashews in the bottom of the bowl. Thanks!
I can confirm that this is a great dish.

Human resource management and organizational performance: Evidence from retail banking
Studies of the relationship between human resource management and establishment performance have heretofore focused on the manufacturing sector. Using a unique longitudinal dataset collected through site visits to branch operations of a large bank, the author extends that research to the service sector. Because branch managers had considerable discretion in managing their operations and employees, the HRM environment could vary greatly across branches and over time. Site visits provided specific examples of managerial practices that affected branch performance. An analysis of responses to the bank's employee attitude survey that controls for unobserved branch and manager characteristics shows a positive relationship between branch performance and employees' satisfaction with the quality of performance evaluation, feedback, and recognition at the branch-the 'incentives' dimension of a high-performance work system. In some fixed effects specifications, satisfaction with the quality of communications at the branch was also important. (Author's abstract.)

45 Minutes, 28 Teachers, 76 Questions: Creating an Environment & Climate Conducive to Learning
Chris Thinnes
If it is in fact true that transformative change in our schools will emerge from the ground up, rather than from the top down — if it true, as Sir Ken Robinson affirms, that we are 'the education system' — then the basic principles of how best to develop our school's teaching practices are simple. This week, I got to take the first step on a collaborative journey with our faculty towards developing new criteria and protocols for faculty evaluation and collaboration, which will be developed with and by the faculty as an expression of teachers' shared commitments, strengths, and goals — rather than by the imposition of an accountability framework from 'above.'
For a variety of reasons, I have been inspired for a number of years by the idea that our teachers' professional learning and collaboration should be governed by the same principles and objectives as our students' learning and collaboration. To that end, each of six domains from the framework of our Goals for Learning (Create – Understand – Reflect – Transmit – Include – Strive) will be invoked as we establish language to articulate our core commitments to effective teaching practice; design driving questions that will facilitate further inquiry among our teams; identify teaching practices that should be visible to teachers, learners, and observers; explore resources drawing on a wide range of expertise outside our community; and create our own rubrics for self-assessment, reflection, goal-setting, peer observation, instructional coaching, and administrative evaluation.
At our first inservice faculty meeting, I had the pleasure to facilitate a first session using the Right Question Institute's 'Question Formulation Technique' — a fantastically powerful facilitation protocol that invites collaborators to formulate, analyze, prioritize, and activate driving questions that democratically identify the intersections of individual interests and shared priorities. Given our collective commitment to intentional practices that best invite students into a meaningful engagement with their learning — and the timing of this activity in preparation for our first week back with children — our first 'Question Focus' prompted a great exchange:
A teacher creates an environment and climate conducive to learning.
Within a ten minute span, mixed-grade level teams had generated 76 questions for crucial exploration on this seemingly innocuous but deliberately provocative statement, all of which I've shared in image files below. Following the analysis and prioritization of these questions, each group reported back on its three most important questions, leading to a list of 12 questions we'll use as an anchor for our work on this project in the weeks to come:
- How do you create the environment?
- What constitutes 'learning'?
- How would the learning environment differ between teaching style and student needs?
- How are different children's needs met in such an environment?
- Do teachers inadvertently affect the learning environment by their behavior towards the students?
- What tools best provide a creative environment conducive to learning?
- What does that environment look like?
- What is the role of students/parents/school?
- How do you know that learning has happened?
- Whose responsibility is it to create the environment?
- What does that environment look/feel/sound like?
- How does the teacher ensure that the environment is conducive to every student's learning?
I also exercised my option as facilitator to ask for permission to include a 13th question. This item spoke to a pattern among at least ten questions from various groups, each of which implied a lack of clarity or common understanding about physical/spatial elements of 'environment' versus social/relational elements of 'climate':
- What are the key factors in creating an 'environment' and creating a 'climate' conducive to learning?
Following the further exploration of these questions by grade level teams and specialist departments in the weeks to come, as well as peer and administrative observation with the express purpose of examining these questions in support of our collective project, we'll reconvene to identify some more concrete indicators of teaching practices that help 'create an environment and climate conducive to learning.' The goal is that these should emerge from the shared commitments and practices that have been defined inside our learning community on the basis of our collective experience and strength, rather than imposing indicators from an outside framework and, in effect, trying to take our temperature with someone else's thermometer. The same will be true as we reiterate this process with each of the five other 'domains' of our emerging Goals for Teaching framework over the year.
I can't wait to dig further into this work with our faculty in the weeks and months to come — and just wanted, for now, to memorialize this first contribution towards a project I hope to report on again in the months to come.
Now, after posting the images of our teachers' great questions, I'll return to the unmitigated joy and lunacy of the opening days of our year.

NEW YORK -- Come April, Kentucky freshman guard John Wall will likely be the name you remember most from this season if he leads a resurgent Wildcats team to the Final Four on his way to becoming the top pick in the 2010 NBA draft.
Fellow freshmen Derrick Favors of Georgia Tech, Lance Stephenson of Cincinnati and Avery Bradley of Texas will certainly also get more than 15 minutes of fame.
So, too, will potential all-American returnees Willie Warren of Oklahoma and Kansas' tandem of Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich.
But if there is one name, one awkward-looking shot, one player who enters the season as the face of the sport, with face time on nationally televised games that is unmatched by most returning players, then it's Notre Dame senior forward Luke Harangody -- if for no other reason than that his numbers are absurdly high.
"I don't think there's a bigger name," Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. "No one has had bigger production than he has going into his senior year and no one else has played more national TV games."
Harangody won Big East Player of the Year honors in 2008. He didn't win the award last season when the Irish floundered down the stretch, losing seven straight to play their way out of the NCAA tournament.
Harangody declared for the NBA draft last spring and seriously considered staying in during the Chicago pre-draft camp, even though he was a likely second-round pick. But he caught himself before making a mistake.
"I just knew I wasn't going to have a senior year again," Harangody said.
Harangody has a chance to end his career as the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in the Big East. He currently stands at 1,036 points, 369 points below Syracuse's Lawrence Moten (1,405). Harangody averaged 23.3 points a game last season. Harangody has 540 rebounds, putting him within reach of the all-time league leader in Syracuse's Derrick Coleman (701). Harangody averaged 11.8 boards last season. He also has a chance to pass Austin Carr (2,560) on the school's all-time scoring list (Harangody has 1,823) as well as top Tom Hawkins in rebounds (1,318 to Harangody's 949).
"For that guy to become the all-time leading scorer in the league's history? Are you kidding me? The guy from Schererville, Ind.?" Brey rhetorically said. "When I'm around now, he is a household name because of how he plays. He's a throwback guy and people connect to him. He's undersized so people wonder what position does he play? And he's got a funny shot."
When quizzed about who would be the face of the sport in the preseason, a number of college coaches couldn't come up with one name quick enough. Virginia Tech's Seth Greenberg had to think about it for a while, going conference by conference and seeing if anyone was more recognizable than Harangody. Miami's Frank Haith didn't hesitate to say that Harangody is a first-team All-American and one of the "most talked about players in the country."
Kansas coach Bill Self, who potentially has two first-team All-Americans on his roster in Aldrich and Collins, had this to say about the Notre Dame forward: "There was no returning player that has produced more than Harangody. A year ago, there were plenty of choices like [North Carolina's] Tyler Hansbrough, [Oklahoma's] Blake Griffin, and [Davidson's] Stephen Curry, but this season there's no question that Harangody comes in with the most name recognition."
But Oklahoma's Jeff Capel wasn't so sure.
"I'm not sure if Harangody is more nationally known," said Capel, who coached last season's national player of the year and No. 1 NBA draft pick Blake Griffin. "I think he's very underrated. I'm not sure everyone knows how good his numbers really are."
While Harangody isn't as famous, or as accomplished as Hansbrough, he said he did admire how Hansbrough handled last season as a model. Hansbrough returned for his senior season with a mission to win a title. He accomplished that goal. Harangody is realistic -- winning the national championship might not be in the vernacular for the Irish. Losing Purdue transfer Scott Martin to a torn ACL was a crushing blow. The addition of Mississippi State transfer guard Ben Hansbrough is a huge plus and the return of senior guards Jonathan Peoples, Tyrone Nash and lead playmaker Tory Jackson gives the Irish needed experience.
But it will be on Harangody to lead this group to the NCAA tournament after the disappointing finish a season ago. That means younger players like Tim Abromaitis and Carleton Scott, who are both juniors but haven't logged a slew of minutes, will need Harangody to lead them.
"A lot of people will see how I can be a senior leader," Harangody said of his draft status. "I see what Tyler did for his group and I could do that for ours in going to the NCAA tournament."
The focus is on Harangody, as it has been for a while. He was not known coming out of high school, yet he has become the polarizing figure on the Irish.
"When he was younger, he hated the attention," Brey said. "Now he's poised to take it in stride. He can do this. He's mature. He's our spokesman. He's the one that sets the tone in our locker room and his voice will carry more weight than the coach."
Brey said Harangody won't be alone in doing that with Jackson able to speak up as well. Still, if the Irish are going to be a factor in the Big East and make the NCAAs then Harangody will have to be a national player of the year candidate.
Brey said he told him when Harangody decided to return to school in June that they better enjoy this run. He said it's not going to be an easy ride.
"He's the lightning rod," Brey said. "No one yells at me when we got to Morgantown [W.Va.]. They [the fans] yell at him. And he still gets 20 and 10. There's a lot of demand on him. So I've got to keep him loose. But he understands there's a lot on him."
Being the preseason face of your team, your league and possibly your sport can be a heavy burden to bear.
How does that make him feel?
"Great, to be in the position that any other player in college basketball would want," Harangody said. So how does he live up to it?
"By leading Notre Dame to the NCAA tournament."

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
I name two comic book characters. You then have to connect the two using only shared appearances in comic books (official appearances in comics only – no cameos like Terry Austin sneaking Popeye into the background of a panel and no outside comic book appearances, like cartoons and the like). You have to do so using less than six comics total. Covers and pin-ups do not count – only actual appearances in the same comic book story (so it doesn't count if they each appeared in separate stories inside the same anthology). Mythological characters and real people (by the way, unless a fake name is used for a real person, like Ronald Raygun or whatever, you can use the person even if they are not officially named in the comic) are unique to their own comic book appearances (so DC's Thor is different than Marvel's Thor, DC's Ronald Reagan is different from Marvel's Ronald Reagan, etc.). But a licensed character is the same in all of their various comic book companies (so the Marvel Red Sonja is the same as the Dynamite Red Sonja) and approved appearances by a real person can go across comic book companies, as well (so, for instance, you can use Marv Wolfman from his Teen Titans appearance to connect with Marv Wolfman in his Fantastic Four appearance). Approval tends to be the key (except for public figures, of course).
Every week, whoever connects the two characters in the least amount of turns gets to pick the next week's match- (in the event of a tie, the winner is chosen randomly). Last week was Elric to Elrod. Jamie Q. was one of three people who were able to connect the two in five moves (a few others got it in six). Here is how Jamie connected the two (for what it is worth, all three people connected it the same basic way)…
Elric and Conan were in Conan the Barbarian #14
Conan and Wolverine were in What If…? #16
Wolverine and Shi were in Wolverine/Shi
Shi and Cerebus were in War of the Independents
Cerebus and Elrod were in Cerebus #34
Jamie's challenge is…
Shadowman to normalman/strong>
E-mail me your answers at email@example.com. Do NOT post your answers in the comments section!
Whoever connects the two characters in the least amount of comics gets to pick the connection for next time around (I'll pick a random winner in the event of a tie)!
Remember, only authorized appearances in comic books count (for instance, Wolverine in Gen13 #13 and all Marvel characters in Savage Dragon/Destroyer Duck do not count)!
Ha! That's exactly the Elric-Elrod connection that came to mind when I suggested it. I wonder if there is a different route to do it in five moves.
I've never heard of Normalman, but he looks like Jasper Sitwell.
I think Normalman was the last Valentino project I read.
I believe that was exactly the same way I got the Elrod/Elric connection. I couldn't figure out a way to get from Elric to Cerebus in any less moves.
Someone on the other post suggested that Spawn 10 would probably play a role, but I don't think so.
I tried using the Spawn connection (originally going Cerebus-Spawn-Witchblade-Red Sonja) but couldn't get down below six steps, so fell back on the same route as the winner.
This comment won't make sense until Brian "undeletes" a comment that popped up in my email, but it's amazing that someone can read itty bitty indicia print, and read this post enough to complain about authorized appearances, but can't read the bit RIGHT ABOVE THAT that says DO NOT GUESS IN THE COMMENTS!!!!!
Sigh. I'm better now.
Wow, the tiny fist of that guy on the Shadow Man cover is really fucking creepy!

That was me. I somehow skimped the part about not guessing in the comments, sorry.
But I will say that Wolverine's appearance in Gen 13 #13 WAS authorizied by Marvel, according to the book's legal indicia (Hulk, Wonder Woman, Youngblood and "Shi-Ra"'s appearances were all unofficial, though, IIRC).
last one, I was thinking of using the Shi\Cyblade War of independents to link Cerebus to Witchblade and then using the recent crossover with Red Sonja, etc…
This time we have Shadowman, a Saxophone player who got his powers after being raped by a spider-alien, last-seen alive jumping off a tall building in a suicide attempt, later found dead with his saxophone inserted.
..and Normalman sent away from his homeworld by rocket to end up as the only normal person on a world of superheroes and supervillains – a concept previously used in the origin of Private Normal in Earth 33 1/3 the movie -a 3 page cartoon by Marvel UK's Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett (I don't know if Valentino read it – probably just a mixture of coincidence and common influence)

February 17, 2010: Producer Rajan Shahi's 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai', the melodrama which has always kept the audience hooked with its high quotient of drama, has once again succeeded in gripping the attention of viewers after a long time.
Our source informs, "Yeh Rishta… is back as a number one daily soap with 6 TRP ratings followed by Zee TV's 'Pavitra Rishta' and Color's 'Uttaran' on second and 'Bidaai' on 4th number. 'Bidaai' has increased its TRP's by 5 times in recent episodes and are hoping for still higher ratings after the star-cameos."
We called Hina Khan aka Akshara of 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' and she tells us elatedly, "I am very much happy as our show has once again gripped the audience, due to which today our show is number one. I feel overwhelmed for the support and love of audience. Eventually hard work pays, doesn't it?"
"We have worked very hard and in the process have shed loads of tears! It really becomes very challenging to cry again and again as the shot is not taken just once. But after all, I think is that hard work that is showing as success now," signs off Hina merrily.
Well, we are sure Hina would be still crying, though this time the tears would be of joy!

Hi ,, this is really great plugin that i ever seen ,
thank you so much
Is there such a plugin to show users pre-selected favorite categories?
I think it would be so useful to enable users to choose their favorite categories (better to use front-end) and tags, and just show them post from the selected categories.
other non-favorite categories should still be available for him/her upon direct request through such category links

Definición de kazachok en inglés:
A Slavic dance with a fast and typically quickening tempo, featuring a step in which a squatting dancer kicks out each leg alternately to the front.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- I guess in Slavic dance, that would be properly called kazachoc - the dance that involves leaping, squatting, kicking out your legs.
- As the rest tried to circle around him, he crossed his arms over his chest and began the Kazachoc Slavic dance, squatting and kicking each one squarely.
- More time with her well respected teacher will ultimately see her performing dances of a different kind such as the kazachoc.
Early 20th century: Russian, diminutive of kazak 'Cossack'.

Miliband Pledges New U.K. Regional Banks
Opposition Labour Party leader Ed Miliband will pledge the creation of a network of U.K. regional banks to lend to businesses if his party wins power in 2015.
Speaking at the British Chambers of Commerce annual conference in London at 11.30 a.m. today, Miliband will propose that new institutions be set up that only operate within a defined area. They would focus on lending to businesses.
"We need a regional banking system, serving each and every region of the country," Miliband will say, according to his office. "Not banks that like to say 'no,' but banks that know your region and your business."
Business groups including the BCC complain that a lack of lending to small companies as banks avoid risk and rebuild their balance sheets is holding back growth. Business Secretary Vince Cable, due to speak at the conference after 1 p.m., is setting up a government-backed business bank to try to increase the availability of funds.

This one is worst then first one...
agreed, NOTHING creative or smart about 1st and 3rd ads. Middle on is funny and has a twist. Makes me wonder which one came first.
Great brief. Average ads.
Hope the client was to blame and not the agency.

What is the maximum number of threads that can be created by a process under Linux?
How (if possible) can this value be modified?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
What is the maximum number of threads that can be created by a process under Linux?
How (if possible) can this value be modified?
Linux doesn't have a separate threads per process limit, just a limit on the total number of processes on the system (threads are essentially just processes with a shared address space on Linux) which you can view like this:
The default is the number of memory pages/4. You can increase this like:
There is also a limit on the number of processes (an hence threads) that a single user may create, see
This is WRONG to say that LINUX doesn't have a separate threads per process limit.
Thus, the number of threads per process can be increased by increasing total virtual memory or by decreasing stack size. But, decreasing stack size too much can lead to code failure due to stack overflow while max virtual memory is equals to the swap memory.
Check you machine:
Total Virtual Memory:
Total Stack Size:
Command to increase these values:
*Replace new value with the value you want to put as limit.
In practical terms, the limit is usually determined by stack space. If each thread gets a 1MB stack (I can't remember if that is the default on Linux), then you a 32-bit system will run out of address space after 3000 threads (assuming that the last gb is reserved to the kernel).
However, you'll most likely experience terrible performance if you use more than a few dozen threads. Sooner or later, you get too much context-switching overhead, too much overhead in the scheduler, and so on. (Creating a large number of threads does little more than eat a lot of memory. But a lot of threads with actual work to do is going to slow you down as they're fighting for the available CPU time)
What are you doing where this limit is even relevant?
To retrieve it:
To set it:
123456789 = # of threads
Linux doesn't use the virtual memory to calculate the maximum of thread, but the physical ram installed on the system
So thread max is different between every system, because the ram installed can be from different sizes, I know Linux doesn't need to increase the virtual memory, because on 32 bit we got 3 GB for user space and 1 GB for the kernel, on 64 bit we got 128 TB of virtual memory, that happen on Solaris, if you want increase the virtual memory you need to add swap space.
Thread count limit: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max
How it is calculated: max_threads = mempages / (8 * THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE); and: x86_64 page size (PAGE_SIZE) is 4K; Like all other architectures, x86_64 has a kernel stack for every active thread. These thread stacks are THREAD_SIZE (2*PAGE_SIZE) big;
for mempages : cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep spanned | awk '{totalpages=totalpages+$2} END {print totalpages}';
so actually the number is not related with limitation of thread memory stack size (ulimit -s). ps: thread memory stack limitation is 10M in my rhel VM, and for 1.5G memory, this VM can only afford 150 threads?
proper 100k threads on linux:
It probably shouldn't matter. You are going to get much better performance designing your algorithm to use a fixed number of threads (eg, 4 or 8 if you have 4 or 8 processors). You can do this with work queues, asynchronous IO, or something like libevent.
Depends on your system, just write a sample program [ by creating processes in a loop ] and check using ps axo pid,ppid,rss,vsz,nlwp,cmd. When it can no more create threads check nlwp count [ nlwp is the number threads ] voila you got your fool proof answer instead of going thru books
We can see the maximum number of threads defined in the following file in linux
cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max
sysctl -a | grep threads-max

Junior back at site of his first big wins
HHP Images
Back where it all startedDale Earnhardt Jr. won his first Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway on April 2, 2000, after starting fourth and leading 106 laps. It was only the seventh Cup race of his career. He also visited Victory Lane for the first time in the Nationwide Series at the track, taking home that trophy on April 4, 1998.
Earnhardt on Texas Motor Speedway: "I like racing at Texas. It's a fun track. The fans always seem to be excited about us coming out there. We've had some good success at Texas, too, so that helps a lot and makes us get excited about coming back. I just like the enthusiasm that the crowd has and the people that are from in and around that area have for racing, so it gets me excited."
Lance McGrew, crew chief, on running at Texas: "We've had some good runs on intermediate tracks but just haven't had the finishes we need to have. I like going to Texas. It's a fast track. Corner speed at Texas is crucial. You are going to fight tight off of Turns 2 and 4, so your driver has to be able to get in the throttle, accelerating off the corners to go fast."

Published January 5, 1996
A panel of 14 NFL owners on hand for a presentation by Cleveland Mayor Michael White "came away convinced that the city's $175 million plan to renovate 65-year-old Cleveland Stadium is solid." But, as Bart Hubbuch of the Akron BEACON JOURNAL notes, the message from the owners to White was: "Replace, don't rebuild." NFL President Neil Austrian, who presided over the Atlanta meeting: "The consensus of our group is that the $175 million is rock solid. But you also have to ask whether it makes sense -- if you're going to spend $715 million - - to rebuild a stadium that was built in the 1930s." White said their decision to renovate was based on the request of Browns Owner Art Modell. But he said he told the NFL "we would not close our minds to any alternative." Austrian described the proposal that another team move to Cleveland as merely an "afterthought" because of the implications of having another abandoned city. White "surprised" the committee by saying they would even welcome Modell back, calling it a "small price to pay" to keep the Browns (Akron BEACON JOURNAL, 1/5). However, White ruled out the idea of letting the Browns go under the condition Cleveland would get another team at a later date. White: "That is DOA" (Jon Morgan, Baltimore SUN, 1/5). NO DEAL: Cleveland officials also denied reports that the city would negotiate an out-of-court settlement with the Browns, an idea originally floated by Maryland Stadium Authority Chair John Moag. Nancy Lesic, Press Secretary for Mayor White: "This is just a desperate attempt by John Moag to turn public opinion around in his favor, and I don't think that's going to happen" (Akron BEACON JOURNAL, 1/5).

Health & Pregnancy
Double the Joy, Double the Jitters
Two Breasts, Two Babies?
Most mothers of twins wonder about two main things, says Julie Morreale, leader of the DeKalb, Ill., La Leche League: "Will I be able to make enough milk, and will I ever sleep?" Morreale, herself a mother of five including 3-year-old twin girls, reassures mothers that their bodies can, indeed, supply the nutritional needs of two babies at the same time. "Your body will produce enough milk for twins, as long as you're feeding on demand. Some people try to set up a schedule: That's a fine thing if it works for you once they're 4 to 6 months old, but newborns and breastfeeding babies are made to nurse more often, and twins nurse more often yet," she says.
"Nurse early, nurse often," agrees Zoeie Kreiner, who's worked with hundreds of mothers of twins on breastfeeding issues. "The more you nurse, the more your body produces."
Nursing your twins at the same time, if you can, will help you get a little more rest at a time when you can expect to feel like a zombie. How do you accomplish this feat of coordination? Kreiner suggests trying a few positions. First, sit down on the couch with a baby on either side, perpendicular to you. First pick up whichever baby is the stronger nurser at the time -- since she'll pull the milk down for her twin. Then try the "double football hold" -- with each baby's head on one breast and her bottom resting on whatever you're sitting on, with your hands supporting her head. Or the cradle position, with one baby cradled in the crook of your arm and second baby's head almost in the other baby's lap. Kreiner notes that many twins like that posture because they're used to being so close.
For the most hands-on advice you can find, get involved with a local mothers-of-twins-and-multiples group, which will be easy to find with the help of the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs (www.nomotc.org). Many groups have a "stork mom" program, pairing experienced twin mothers with nervous newbies to answer questions like, "How do you get through the grocery store?" and "How do you handle all those car seats?"

Compliance with regulatory policies on data remains a key hurdle to cloud computing. Policies such as EU privacy, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS place requirements on data availability, integrity, migration, retention, and access, among many others. This paper proposes a policy management service that offers scalable management of data retention policies attached to data objects stored in a cloud environment. The management service includes a highly available and secure encryption key store to manage the encryption keys of data objects. By deleting the encryption key at a specified retention time associated with the data object, we effectively delete the data object and its copies stored in online and offline environments. To achieve scalability, our service uses Hadoop MapReduce to perform parallel management tasks, such as data encryption and decryption, key distribution and retention policy enforcement. A prototype deployed in a 16-machine Linux cluster currently supports 56 MB/sec for encryption, 76 MB/sec for decryption, 31,000 retention policies/sec read and 15,000 retention policies/sec write.

|"Batman: The Brave & The Bold" debuts in the U.S. November 14 on Cartoon Network
After a landmark year at the box office, Batman breaks back onto the small screen this month, albeit with a little more BIFF! BAM! and POW! Eschewing the ultra-gritty themes of âThe Dark Knightâ for a more kid-friendly take on the caped crusader, âBatman: The Brave & The Boldâ debuts on Cartoon Network on November 14 at 8:00 pm EST/PST and teams Batman with a laundry list of fan favorite and cult characters from DC Comicsâ pantheon, including Plastic Man and Metamorpho.
âIâm calling in a big, Saturday morning bowl of cereal. It definitely harkens back to simpler times,â producer James Tucker told CBR News.
Tucker, whose DC animated credentials stretch back to 1997âs âThe New Batman Adventuresâ and whose most recent credit was as producer on the fan hit âLegion of Super-Heroes,â explained the more light-hearted tenor of âBrave & The Boldâ wasnât just struck upon as a youthful alternative to Christian Baleâs PG-13 growl, but as a way of keeping Batman interesting and relevant in his fourth animated incarnation in the past 15 years.
âThe whole idea every new time Batman comes around is how to do a different thing,â Tucker said. âMy thought going into this series wasnât another âBatman: The Animated Seriesâ because I really wouldnât have been interested in doing that. I worked with [âBatman: TASâ executive producer] Bruce Timm for 12 years. To me, âBatman: The Animated Seriesâ is hallowed ground. Thatâs not something I wanted to follow or to be in the shadow of, but this is such a different flavor. [âThe Brave & The Boldâ is] not trying to be dark or sophisticated.â
|Batman as depicted in "Batman: The Brave & The Bold"
For the specific mix of elements that make âBrave & The Boldâ what it is, Tucker kick-started the production process by returning to his roots as a character designer and storyboard artist â drawing multiple versions of DC Characters until he struck upon the Dick Sprang-inspired look that has carried the show forward. âFinding the tone of the show came through trial and error,â the producer said. âI was finishing âLegionâ and I went from that show right into developing this. And when youâre developing, you have to throw a lot of stuff at the wall to see what sticks. The idea is not perfectly in your head. For some people it might be, but not me. I have to draw a lot. I killed a lot of trees coming up with the ideas for this show. Ultimately, I wanted a show that had humor but where the action was exciting. I basically wanted to take the energy of the Teen Titans cartoon and put it on top of an old comic book. You have the dynamic action of anime with character designs that are simplified and look like theyâre hand inked and lifted out of a â50s comic book.â
Striking that new chord in just the right way involved offering a lineup of characters fans had not yet seen in an animated venue, and adding a humorous note to a lead hero whoâs often known for his straight-laced attitude. âThe flavor of âBatman: The Brave & The Boldâ is Batman on everyone elseâs turf,â Tucker said. âItâs Batman in outer space. Batman under the sea. Batman in another dimension. Batman in the past. Batman in the future. So it was pretty much Batman fitting into any environment and still being cool. Itâs a lot more fantasy-based than the more gritty, realistic versions of Batman that have come before.â
|Plastic Man will be one of the recurring characters on "Batman: The Brave & The Bold"
One thing viewers have seen before is Batman interacting with other DC mainstays like Superman and Green Lantern, and although Tucker admitted there was a heavy interest in including some of those heavies in âBrave & The Bold,â he said the little heroes further down the list opened up bigger and better possibilities. âThe problem with those A-list characters is that they pull focus from Batman. The idea behind this show is that âYeah, itâs a team-up show, but the team ups have to bring out some element of Batmanâs personality that we havenât seen,ââ he said. âA character equated to an environment Batmanâs in, which means that if itâs Aquaman, heâs probably going to be in Atlantis dealing with something. The new Blue Beetle has a space flavor, so that puts us in outer space. The Demon means weâre doing a more supernatural story. And I think the secondary characters tend to be a bit more interesting because there are things we donât know about them. Everyone knows about Superman. Everyone thinks they know about Wonder Woman, and eventually weâll get to those characters, but we wanted this to be a show where it wasnât a by the numbers episode every time.â
Part of taking that by-the-numbers feel out of the show included taking the most well known members of Batmanâs supporting cast out -- for the most part. âItâs not that we wonât have some of those more familiar elements, but we wanted to make those an event when we saw them â not just go, âOh, thereâs Commissioner Gordon again. Thereâs Alfred again. Thereâs Robin.â We wanted to do those stories and give them more impact when they happen so people wouldnât take it for granted that they would be on the show,â Tucker explained.
|Aquaman will be one of the recurring characters on "Batman: The Brave & The Bold"
What viewers will be getting in place of a regular cast is twice the amount of guest stars per episode thanks to the programâs unique formatting. â[In each episode] thereâs a teaser â the teaser is a stand-alone, mini-episode of Batman teaming up with a character,â Tucker explained. âThen weâll run the main title, and after the main title, thatâs the main episode. And the main episode has nothing to do with the teaser for the most part. Some have a little trickle over, but for the most part the teasers are little three-minute episodes in and of themselves.
âThat keeps the audience guessing about whatâs coming after the main title, and it also lets us shine a light on some lesser known DC characters who might not require a full episode. It makes the pace of the show a lot quicker than the âBatman: The Animated Seriesâ stories or even the âJustice Leagueâ stories. Iâm having a blast with it because itâs unlike any show Iâve ever worked on, and itâs unlike anything thatâs been on the air for a while.â
Another major difference from past iteration of Batmanâs mythos is the comedy element that plays a role in âThe Brave & The Bold,â although Tucker was quick to note that such elements never stole the focus from the action and adventure meat and potatoes. âThe humor thatâs there doesnât overpower the story,â he said. âIâm all for Adam Westâs Batman. I have a lot of fondness for that show, but this show isnât trying to mimic that. This show is a lot more straight than that. Thereâs humor in it, but itâs more high action adventure. To me, this is more of what a kid who was watching that Adam West show saw, not a sophisticated adult who caught all the campy inside stuff. The six-year-old who watched Adam West and took everything deadly seriously. Thatâs the idea behind this show.â
|Blue Beetle will be one of the recurring characters on "Batman: The Brave & The Bold"
And while the fun, youth-oriented nature of âBatman: The Brave & The Boldâ adds to its uniqueness, it also keeps the episodes of the series more standalone without reliance on long-term continuity. After working on the long-term dramatic serial that worked its way from âBatman: The Animated Seriesâ to âJustice League Unlimitedâ over 12 years, Tucker relished the opportunity to loosen up on plotlines for a more âdone-in-oneâ approach.
âWith âBrave & The Boldâ weâre just starting from scratch. Thereâs no connection to any of those earlier shows,â Tucker confirmed. âThe show itself is simple. I equate it to a â60s âSpace Ghostâ show where there wasnât any continuity from episode to episode. You didnât have to see anything else to enjoy the episode you were watching. It was more episodic that way. But, we do have a group of characters that we do repeat. So Blue Beetle reappears, and every time he reappears, we learn more about him and his relationship with Batman. The same with Aquaman and The Outsiders and Green Arrow â theyâre kind of our core group of characters that reappear, but between them we have these one off characters and fan favorites. There are certain characters that donât require more than one or two appearances.â
To unpack all the new twists and turns held within âBatman: The Brave & The Bold,â CBR will be rolling out more interviews with the entire creative staff between now and the November 14 premier, continuing next with director Ben Jones. But while his entire crew rushes to wrap their first season for its impending debut, James Tucker closed his talk with CBR by waxing poetic on the future of Batmanâs animated ambitions.
âI feel sorry for whoever does the next Batman cartoon because weâre running out of things to pull from, but Iâm sure theyâll find some interesting twist,â laughed the producer. âMaybe the pendulum will swing back towards the grittier stuff. But I think now itâs a great time for fans with the DVDs, the reruns of the old shows and âThe Dark Knightâ being such a success, thereâs so much room for different interpretations of Batman. And I think theyâre all valid as long as theyâre done with integrity.â

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Jacksonville State University has reached agreements with four Chinese universities to continue developing their study abroad programs after a two-week trip to China.
The universities will share research and exchange faculty and staff.
Taizhou University is sending 15 or 16 faculty members to JSU for training at the school's English language institute and to study teaching methods. JSU plans to launch its first computer science program with Taizhou in the fall.
The university also reached agreements with Wuhan, Zhejiang and Shanghai Normal universities.
JSU President Bill Meehan said being able to sit across from a student from another part of the world is an education in itself.
He said exposing more students to the world is important.
