|Re: [exec] API, implementation various notes
|Fri, 23 Sep 2005 12:31:20 GMT
> I am also voluntary to produce documentation for the package (as said > to Brett and Trygve yesterday), help redesign things if these small > redesigns are allowed, making sure if will be used fully in > CruiseControl and why not help ant migration when it comes. Some notes below on that regard: Evaluation of the current commons-exec design. Process + Runtime.exec (SDK < 5.0) ---------------------------------- String[] cmdarray = new String[] { "myCommand", "myArg1", "myArg2"}; String[] envp = new String[] {"VAR1=myValue"}; File workinDir = new File("/tmp"); Process p = Runtime.exec(cmdarray, envp, workingDir); Limitations/drawbacks: - no difference between command and arguments - when envp == null, current environment inherited fully. Not possible to remove one variable. - lack handling of streams (because not consuming them properly can lead to hangs). - lack handling of processes - ugly & confusing Process API (e.g. getInputStream() returns an input stream that represents the data piped from the output stream. Yuckk) - nothing makes it really reusable. ProcessBuilder (SDK >= 5.0) --------------------------- ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("myCommand", "myArg1", "myArg2"); Map<String, String> env = pb.environment(); env.put("VAR1", "myValue"); env.remove("OTHERVAR"); env.put("VAR2", env.get("VAR1") + "suffix"); pb.directory("myDir"); Process p = pb.start(); // must handle streams, kill process etc... Most of the issues fixed. Limitations/drawbacks - streams and Processes still not handled by implementation - API still ugly (see directory() and command() methods) - requires SDK 5.0... commons-exec ------------ current API taken from Ant. Can be reused in several projects (Plexus, CruiseControl etc...). Provide beans for easy XML -> Java mapping. Low level code centered around Execute, CommandLine and Environment. Similar in one way to what ProcessBuilder tries to do. String[] arguments = new String[] {"myArg1", "myArg2"}; String[] envp = new String[] {"VAR1=myValue"}; ExecuteStreamHandler streamHandler = new PumpStreamHandler(); ExecuteWatchdog watchdog = new ExecuteWatchdog(); Execute execute = new Execute(); CommandLine commandLine = new CommandLineImpl(cmdarray) commandLine.setExecutable("myCommand"); commandLine.setArguments(arguments) execute.setCommandLine(commandLine); Environment environment = Environment.getProcEnvironment(); environment.remove("OTHERVAR"); execute.setEnvironment(environment); int result = execute.execute(); Exec: code is broken at best. Tries to hide the complexity of using Execute Because I find it clumsy I prefered to work directly on top of Execute when integrating it with CruiseControl. Exec exec = new Exec(); CommandLine commandLine = new CommandLineImpl(cmdarray) commandLine.setExecutable("myCommand"); commandLine.setArguments(arguments) // exec.setSpawn(true); exec.setTimeout(10000); // exec.setNewenvironment(true); // overrides proc env // exec.setResolveExecutable(true); // exec.setDir(new File()); // exec.execute(commandLine); // a simpler version (provides defaults for unspecified parameters/properties. Cover most cases?) // but most flexible is exec.execute(commandLine, environment, OutputStream, OutputStream); // hide type of failure Key benefits + Execute.execute() does both process management (kill) and stream management. But what complexity needed to use it! Can't use simple things like String[] and Map. gaaaaa + Process is hidden, but could be obtained if we were to add some listeners. + Environment.getProcEnvironment(). System.getenv() is SDK 5.0. + launchers. But are these used at all? See my TODO_comments.diff patch Limitations/Drawbacks - execute make it complex by having both watchdog & process destroyer interfaces - not enough interfaces (ExecuteWatchdog) - Lacks the concept of builder for reusability? - do not have the flexibility ProcessBuilder has with Environment - Exec: executable resolving (broken) - Exec: converts failures, timeouts to ExecuteException (sub IOException) inconditionaly. - forces inheritance to do something else with the streams (which we definitively want in CruiseControl). Yuck. Proposal -------- to me commons-exec is slightly over-engineered. As is, clients will have to resort to strange things and rewrite somewhat complex helper classes to do simple things. I propose to change the API. Vision: Make commons-exec a reusable Library that is available to all SDK, that not only solves the problems solved by ProcessBuilder but also add functionality for Process and Stream management, allowing flexible reuse of this functionality. For that I need to look at the forces in Action, in particular look at how this can be improved without requiring too much change in Ant. I believe it's possible. Some ideas to make it simpler: - make Execute less dependent on classes from commons-exec package, more like a ProcessBuilder for SDK < 5.0. - is there a need for a package exception. What's wrong with IOException? Especially as Exec.execute() 'hides' it again (esposes IOException) - is there a need for an Environment class? environment is now a Map (I've made a patch) so it should be mostly compatible with pb.environment(). For the sake of simplicity I would consider removing the Environment class (what does it had? type safety?), provide the System.getenv() compatible functionality currently implemented in Environment.getProcEnvironment() outside of the Environment class - ProcessDestroyer / Watchdog. All that can be cleaned up / merged. - what about merging stdout and stderr as done in ProcessBuilder See also http://moca.dynalias.com/~jerome/projects/commons-exec/patches/ For some more notes on design issues. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Shivshankar Menon holds talks with President Rajapaksa in KandyJanuary 17th, 2009 - 1:42 pm ICT by IANS
Colombo, Jan 17 (IANS) Visiting Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon Saturday held talks with President Mahinda Rajapaksa, a day after India announced the second instalment of humanitarian assistance amounting to 40 million (Sri Lankan) rupees for the war-affected Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka's north.Official sources told IANS that the meeting took place in the morning in the central hill district of Kandy where Rajapaksa and Menon discussed "issues of bilateral interest and exchanged views on the current developments" in the war-ravaged north, where troops are fighting the Tamil Tigers in their last bastions.
Menon Friday handed over a token consignment of medicines to senior presidential advisor Basil Rajapaksa as part of the humanitarian assistance by India to the people stranded in the northern battle zone.
The first consignment of approximately 1,700 tonnes comprising 80,000 ready-to-use family packs containing food, clothing and personal hygiene items arrived in Sri Lanka within three weeks and has been distributed to those in need with the assistance of the ICRC and the Sri Lankan government.
The Indian High Commission in a statement Friday said that India "will continue to work with Sri Lanka in meeting the humanitarian needs of the civilian population in northern Sri Lanka".
Menon has already met Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama, leader of the main opposition United National Party (UNP) Ranil Wickremesinghe, and leaders of key Muslim and Tamil parties, including the pro-LTTE Tamil National Alliance (TNA) in Colombo Friday.

Gaming banking system through process shortcomings
Need to nurture institutional integrity to restore trust
By G. Srinivasan
At a time when the country's ailing banking industry, particularly the proverbial public sector banks (PSBs) suffering from balance sheet woes, is being bandaged by the first tranche of a capital infusion of Rs 88.139 crore as part of a jumbo Rs 2.11 lakh crore rescue package, the murky affairs in the country's second biggest bank, the Punjab National Bank of India (PNB), has surfaced to the dismay of the authorities. The gargantuan chicanery involving an 11,500 crore rupees smartly but silently executed by a maverick diamond merchant Nirav (silent!) Modi is a bespoke paradigm in the post-reform shenanigans of the banking industry that has but few parallels to besmirch the image of public sector institutions. It is also the worst happening to haunt the industry to demonstrate as to what light or feather touch regulation could spawn! One shudders at the mere thought of the revealed apathy of the internal auditors, statutory and concurrent auditors and on top of it all the regulator, the central bank which remained far removed from what was happening under their putative watch. As a perceptive analyst rightly put it in his column in a pink paper, the RBI has instituted inflation-targeting as its primary dharma to ensure sound money policy so that the people are spared from the worst form of taxation as inflation is billed but its continued wobbly way of supervisory role in ensuring sound banking is, to say the least, lamentable and worrisome. What is at stake is the financial stability of the system and if it is held hostage by a few errant and devious elements, none can save the economy when the chips are down, policy wonks wryly say.
In the aftermath of the scam, the bank's honcho has claimed that it has acted promptly, suspending 10 officials, while the Central Bureau of Investigation has also booked a few officials of the bank that include one retired and one serving PNB employee so far. Soon after the break-out of the ill-tidings, the apex bank, which is also the regulator of the country's banking sector, said in a press statement on Feb 16 that the fraud in PNB is "a case of operational risk arising on account of delinquent behavior by one or more employees of the bank and failure of internal controls". The issue pertained to officials of Mumbai's Brady House branch of PNB, who gave so-called letters of undertakings (LoU), basically guarantees, sans approvals, that enabled Modi's diamond firms to raise credit from other banks. The overseas banks extended funds to Modi firms on the implicit understanding and assurance that PNB will fork out if there is a default. The messages on LoUs are routed through SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Inter-bank Financial Telecommunications).
It needs to be noted that all domestic banks are directed to mandatorily report their LoUs to RBI every quarter. In this case what is less perspicuous but revealing after the nefarious designs had come to the fore as to whether PNB or its counterparties, i.e., overseas branches of Indian banks, virtually cold-shouldered their vital role to voluntarily comply with RBI direction. Industry insiders have disclosed on record that whenever a SWIFT message is sent, it is verified, checked and authorized at various checkpoints by the operations and treasury teams of the sender and receiver banks. Still, it seems no alarm bells were set ringing in this case.
Interestingly, PNB has contended that transactions and messages sent through SWIFT were not logged in its core banking system software, which normally logs quotidian transactions. This lapse has let the crooked employees escape the 'not-eagle eyed' bank auditors! Post-PNB fraud, while most PSBs still have not dovetailed SWIFT into CBS (Core Banking System), some of them have belatedly begun the process once the few wild horses bolted from the stable taking their till! It goes without saying that the benefits of linking both systems is that all transactions are logged duly in the system and this would help calculate in metronomic precision the magnitude of liabilities! This way the integration enables banks to know that exposure limit set for a particular borrower is not crossed because CBS has all account details. This would also invest with banks involving in such cross-border transactions with greater controls so that no one could dare to game the system as it was done so deftly by Nirav Modi and his coadjutors in the conspiracy to milk the system so magnificently till the chickens have come home to roost and roast the ones who were caught while the main villains vanished from the country with their ill-gotten bounty to greener pastures to enliven the existence from the dreary drudgery of daily life here. In their wayward way, these fraudsters had the trust and solid faith of the common public in their sovereign banking industry torn to flinders.
The outbreak of insider frauds is on top of the disconsolate fact as conceded by the Minister of State for Finance in the post-budget session of Parliament in a written response that as on end-September, 2017, out of a total 21 PSBs, nine PSBs have gross non-performing assets (GNPAs) above 15 per cent and 14 PSBs have GNPAs of more than 12 per cent. In response to another query in the Lok Sabha on Feb 2, 2018, the minister said that there were 8,622 frauds in PSBs from 2014-15 to 2016-17 in which staff involvement was in 1,146 cases. It is not the number of the complicity of the internal staff that matters as in the case of the latest PNB case where a few employees recklessly defrauded the system in covert connivance with pushy tycoons who cared a hoot for the public money in gaming the system's fail-prone process with unconcealed glee. It is also a recorded fact that as per RBI data on global operations, a mammoth sum of Rs 81,683 crore was written off (including compromise) by PSBs in the fiscal year 2016-17 with the cumulative write-off for the five year period ending March 31, 2017 amounting to a staggering Rs 2,49,926 crore. The whopping write-off of bad loans during the last five years must perforce have to be seen against the rescue package of 2.11 lakh crore of rupees that is recently announced to recapitalize the ailing banking system for the return to normal practice of extending credit to real sectors of the economy to rev up growth.
At the end of the day, what is required is not a blame game or the facile option to privatize the PSBs stake so that private vigilance is par for the course. The government, bent upon ushering in a scam and corrupt-free governance, has the moral obligation to ensure that every institution that serves the public is ruthlessly rid of rotten elements so that public trust is restored and institutional integrity promoted for the development of the nation.

Who do you want to be?
Vote over at Top Web Comics, and you can see a panel from tomorrow's page :D.
…Because there's going to be a third page this week! THREE PAGES! YAY! And then we can cap off this scene and shit can start to get real 😀 😀 :D. So anyway, come back tomorrow for extra page goodness!
I edited the SHIT out of this page. And the next one. Because really, this set of pages is the whole crux of Malaya's issues. I've struggled a lot with how exactly to convey her fear and determination, and the source of those fears in only a couple pages. (Luckily, we'll be coming back to her briefly after a few more pages to wrap this situation up.) I think a lot of her issues stem from the idea that she's tried to push the whole "being a werewolf" thing to the side, stamp it down and try not to let it bother her or affect her life at all. But ultimately, that's not really an option. I've tried setting this story up so that, step by step, she's been pushed to this point where ignoring who she really is isn't an option anymore.
If you ever look up the classic steps in The Hero's Journey story arc, which a LOT of people use as a basis for storytelling, part of the steps is that your protagonist rejects the call to action multiple times. There's a lot of instances where this comes off as really false. Why wouldn't this character want to be the hero? Why are they ignoring all the people who need their help? I think a lot of writers ignore that there needs to be a real reason that your hero is trying to avoid taking action. But if you're writing a hero, why would they be afraid of anything? Why would they reject the call to action out of fear? But that, to me, makes the most sense. People hate change. You find a routine in your life and you fucking stick to it, and you find people you like, and you fucking stick to them, and you let your life pass day-by-day, hopefully without too much strife. So if your hero is called to action, there needs to be a real reason they don't want to be that person that your story is trying to make them be.
Anyway, I spent yesterday as an anxious mess after not getting enough sleep, so I tore apart my closet and I'm donating like, half of it. Feels good. And I rearranged a bunch of stuff, shoved some things into the attic above my closet for storage, and found a copy of my birth certificate! Not the original, who knows where the fuck that is…I don't even know where my social security card is, so it's probably with that. Having a house means having a bunch of stuff in said house, and I kind of hate having stuff. I was definitely in "burn it all down and roll in the ashes" mode for a bit there yesterday. But hey! I got actual sleep last night without any weird nightmares, so I feel pretty good about life today. Time for the gym! I'll see you guys tomorrow~!

I guess like everyone else, you appreciate the many wild symbols in slot machines. In fact, these special symbols help you to earn money by replacing all other symbols to form or to complete the most profitable paying combination possible. The Swedish developer Netent has just launched a brand new slot machine called Go Bananas that is heavily loaded with wild symbols, allowing you to win up to €140,000 each spin! If you wish to learn more about this excellent video slot that just came out, I invite you to read the rest of this post dedicated to the game.
The general atmosphere of the new slot machine, that was developed by the Swedish company Netent, stands out as a great success. The game has very nice graphics, and uses symbols representing different species of monkeys, conga drums, a bowl with a banana split, a statuette and various exotic fruits. The soundtrack on the other hand puts you right into the heart of the African jungle with lively music-based percussions and immersive sound effects. In short, the atmosphere is so entertaining that it will make you want to play more rounds.
With regards to the game content, the slot machine Go Bananas draws attention with pictures that are all about wild symbols. Every time you manage to display one of five different symbols representing a monkey 2 to 5 positions of the reels will turn into wild symbols. As you will see, this promises to win significant amounts of money on a regular basis. The combination of wild symbols can also allow you to earn up to €140,000 in just one spin!
After reading the previous few lines, you must surely have understood why the slot machine Go Bananas by Netent has drawn so much of our attention. If you want to discover it for yourself, there are two options available: You can test it in free mode on our website.

Survey of the North Star State
The economic growth of early Minnesota was related closely to the exploitation of its primary natural resources—soils, iron ore, and timber. This exploitation, in turn, stimulated the growth of such related activities as railroad building, natural resource processing, and farm implement manufacturing. During the late 1960s and early '70s these began to decline, and service-related industries started to flourish.

RADIO is a zany film about a non-profit radio station Hamming it up in Vancouver, Canada. Actually it is kinda weird but with huge fringe appeal. You see an Alien crash lands in the middle of a park in Vancouver and wedges his ship into an old gold mine shaft; Out of luck and spare parts he configures his drive to spit out Hundred dollar bills. That solves the luck part, and the cash for spare parts part As well. Looking for a cover or front the Alien buys a radio station and hires employees in absentia. It's a perfect ploy except that he nets a psychopath scam-ster for a manager that takes both host jobs pretending to be two different people. So the psycho-manager works day and night with very little sleep, and Hey! Psychopaths Hate to work at even one job! Three reporters are also hired and under the impulsive leadership no holds whatsoever hinders the reporters digging up corruption, hypocrisy and…murder!
PITCH: When I casted the Film I started looking for scriptwriters and found out something profound; scriptwriters can write!! Meaning that they are intelligent, and many also harbor a real desire and talent to act! Two of the four main characters applied as scriptwriters and BANG! I found the psycho-manager host and the lead female reporter for the show!
The setting is a radio station in a large ethnic area. This spices things up because it taps into the Indie-film market as well as the science fiction fringe market, and the conspiracy fringe market. Think X-files crossed with Fraser crossed with an Indian morality flick! Seriously, RADIO is being prepared and screen written as a TEN YEAR LIFE CYCLE 560 episode SOAP with huge domestic and foreign appeal. You heard it, the film RADIO is just the tip of the iceberg. Any investor who gets in on this one and the Soap is going to see payback for ten years with a huge foreign sales market.
Sorry to say, but most investors don't actually deserve this kind of opportunity! We are really seeking only one type of investor, the IDIOLOGICAL INVESTOR! This investor would really believe that IDEAS And IDEALS can REALLY CHANGE THE WORLD! Seriously, we touch on a lot of tough stuff like ethnic treatment of women as chattel, political psychopaths shearing the sheep, and corruption in big business and government. If your backing this film and backing the Soap, and we do want you to be in on both, you have to be as pissed as we are at what is happening in this World!
(TVETOGO dot com) is our production company, we are tech savvy and are a cumulative resource of massive graphic and production talent.
I am Dexter Livingstone the Author of "Footsteps of Evil," the most significant piece of literary work on the psychopath ever written including Machiavelli! Sorry to say, it is not just self promotion, it is a fact. Give me a call or e-mail me at (Dexlab at hush dot ai) and I will send you a paperback for free! If it does not move you, we don't want you! Sorry to say…
Seeking 2.5 – 3mil for the Film and .75mil/year operating budget for the Soap. Massive domestic and foreign appeal propel the film into the 100mil+ Arena and the Soap into the 250mil+ Arena with associated advertising. Pay back is 3/4 of the Net for 24 months from the release of the Film, and for TEN YEARS for the Soap. We will conclude our financial arrangements within the next 60 days, time is fleeting...
Good luck and good investing,

Will Ferell was rushed to the hospital after a car crash on Thursday night, April 12.
The famous actor was traveling in an SUV driven by a chauffeur in Orange County on the I-5 freeway when the SUV was side-swiped by another vehicle, reported TMZ.
Ferrell was loaded onto a stretcher and rushed to the hospital but a representative told the media outlet that he was later released and did not suffer any significant injuries.
Law enforcement officers later confirmed that a vehicle struck the SUV from the left side, causing the SUV to spin and flip over. It happened around 11 p.m.
No one has been arrested as of yet and officers are still investigating the crash.
Alcohol and drugs are not believed to have been a factor.

It appears that all the pieces are finally falling in to place for a return of the cult comedy Arrested Development.
Brian Grazer, the show's executive producer, believes they are "really close" to getting a fifth season in production, recently telling The Wrap "All of the actors have agreed to do another season," and noting they had all agreed on their pay – two things that had previously been huge hurdles. Getting the cast all available at the same time and getting contract negotiations to go through is never easy for a cast this size, and it appears those were the two main holdups for a new season.
This is news that fans have been waiting a while for. The show ran for three years on Fox, but a small cult following kept the show in the light so much that when it was canceled, Netflix stepped in to develop a fourth season. After the fourth season of the show on Netflix, fans were left wanting more.
There were rumors of a new season and even rumors of a movie, and it was actually two years ago that Netflix said they were committed to bringing a fifth season. But nothing came of all that until now.
While this doesn't mean a fifth season of Arrested Development is guaranteed yet, it does mean that the probability is more likely than ever.

Alumnus Eddie Nolan Returns To Sing And Strum Away People's Stress
At half past 11 p.m. Friday night, Penn State alumnus Eddie Nolan took the stage to sing and strum away the stress with his set of acoustic melodies.
Nolan graduated in 2016 with a degree in Biobehavioral Health, but he's always enjoyed playing the guitar. While he was a student, he even volunteered at the Mount Nittany Medical Center when he had any free time.
During his freshman year of high school, Nolan picked up the guitar to simply let go and reduce stress. Soon after, he even began recording musical covers of his favorite artists in a studio near him.
"I really like Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson, Ed Sheeran," Nolan said. "I kind of try to take bits and pieces of each artist and put it together and I take that and just mash it and make it my own."
Nolan did exactly that and he didn't disappoint. Starting off with Matt Nathanson's "Come On Get Higher," Nolan brought THON's attendees to a calming sway with his voice and acoustic guitar. He also sang Coldplay's "Yellow" and Rob Thomas' "Little Wonders."
Nolan originally wasn't into music. In high school, he considered himself to be more of a sports guy, but one day he randomly started playing for himself.
"It's always been a good outlet if I'm ever stressed about school or anything really," Nolan said. "I can just go to my room and play for a few hours if I want to or I can just play for even ten minutes and it's awesome."
Nolan finished his musical set with two sing-a-long classics – Train's "Drops of Jupiter" and John Mayer's "Say What You Need to Say." Everyone sang along with him.

Operational Procedures for Assistance to Disabled Vessels
Annex 1: Operational Procedures for Assistance to Disabled Vessels
1. Assistance to a Vessel in Distress or when Status in Doubt
1.1 If time and the circumstances allow, the Commanding Officer should consider providing technical assistance before deciding to tow. From time-to-time, the CCG will have to tow vessels in distress. In the ordinary practice of seamanship, towing involves fewer risks to the towed vessel if the towing vessel is smaller or the same size as the towed vessel. Should towing be necessary, the Commanding Officer shall follow the detailed instructions provided in the Fleet Safety and Security Manual.
1.2 When the situation is stabilized, or if additional information is available to determine that the vessel is no longer in distress, any requirements for further assistance shall follow the directives in Section 2 as appropriate.
2. Assistance to a Disabled Vessel (i.e. not in Distress)
2.1 In open water
2.1.1 No waiting period should delay the tasking of any mobile facility to any situation where there is an uncertainty as to the safety of the persons at sea.
2.1.2 When the master of a disabled vessel requesting assistance (non-distress or non-potential distress) is in direct communication with a Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS) Centre, Regional Operations Centre, or Ice Office and has advised that persons onboard are in no immediate danger, the centre/office shall ensure that the Maritime SAR Mission Co-ordinator (at the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre or Maritime Rescue Sub-centre (JRCC/MRSC)) for the area in which the disabled vessel is located is informed and provided with all pertinent information in order for the Maritime SAR Mission Co-ordinator to take the lead. As the vessel is not in distress, sufficient time will be taken to evaluate the request before deciding on a course of action. CCG will not compete with commercial salvage or towing interests and therefore will not tow disabled vessels unless all efforts to obtain commercial or private assistance have been carried-out and have failed to resolve the situation. In general, (refer to Appendix 2 for decision guidance):
The Maritime SAR Mission Co-ordinator, normally through the appropriate MCTS Centre, shall advise the owner/operator to make his or her own arrangements for assistance;
If the owner/operator is unable or unwilling to secure arrangements for assistance, the Maritime SAR Mission Co-ordinator shall request that the MCTS Centre issue a Maritime Assistance Request Broadcast (MARB) alerting all private, commercial and vessels of opportunity in the area of the need for assistance and thus giving them the opportunity to provide this assistance;
If there is no response to the MARB, in special circumstances, the Maritime SAR Mission Co-ordinator may contact other mobile facilities such as CCG primary SAR units or CCGA to provide an expeditious response;
The Maritime SAR Co-ordinator will consult with the Regional Operations Centre if it is determined that assistance will be needed from a CCG vessel not on primary SAR as the tasking may impact other programs. In all cases, when the Maritime SAR Mission Co-ordinator tasks CCG resources they shall provide all pertinent information regarding the vessel requiring assistance and instruct the Commanding Officer to take any reasonable action in order to resolve the situation.
The Maritime SAR Mission Co-ordinator through their regional alert network must provide Transport Canada Marine Safety and Transportation Safety Board with details of the incident in order to support actions preventing similar incidents from occurring in the future. Special emphasis should be placed on situations when the SAR Mission Co-ordinator and/or the Commanding Officer of the assisting vessel reasonably believe that the disabled vessel had to be assisted because it was un-seaworthy or otherwise in violation of Canada Shipping Act, 2001, and/or the regulations made there under.
2.1.3 Although the Maritime SAR Mission Co-ordinator should not routinely engage in obtaining third party assistance for a disabled vessel, in exceptional circumstances and in complete consultation with the owner/operator of the disabled vessel, the Maritime SAR Mission Co-ordinator may aid in co-ordinating commercial or private assistance. The owner/operator shall be informed and agree that he or she will always remain responsible for any and all costs incurred. It must be made clear to the supplier and the end user of the assisting service that the CCG or the Crown has no contractual or other obligation whatsoever in any arrangement.
2.1.4 Regions are to ensure that CCG Environmental Response and partner agencies, such as Transport Canada Marine Safety and the Transportation Safety Board are informed of the details of requests for assistance according to established protocols. Any requests received by Regional Operations Centre for CCG resources to assist disabled vessels on behalf of partner agencies shall be forwarded to the Assistant Commissioner. The Assistant Commissioner's approval will be required before any CCG resource is tasked to tow disabled vessels of 33 metres or more in length.
2.1.5 For disabled vessels in open water, in order to prevent more serious safety risks from developing, technical assistance may be provided on an as available basis by the CCG only after efforts to obtain commercial or private assistance have been carried out and have failed to resolve the situation.
2.1.6 In all other situations if time and the circumstances allow, the Commanding Officer should consider providing technical assistance before deciding to tow. Any technical assistance, such as fuel or provisions transferred to the disabled vessel, will be strictly on account of the owner/operator of that vessel. From time-to-time the CCG will have to tow disabled vessels. In the ordinary practice of seamen towing involves fewer risks to the towed vessel if the towing vessel is smaller or the same size as the towed vessel. Should towing be necessary, Commanding Officers shall follow detailed instructions in the Fleet Safety and Security Manual. In general, the Commanding Officer shall provide a copy and formally explain to the master or person in charge of the disabled vessel written towing conditions (see Appendix 1). The Commanding Officer shall also discuss the risks of towing and CCG expectations during the tow.
2.1.7 When any CCG resource has a disabled vessel under tow and commercial or private assistance arrives on-scene, the Commanding Officer shall hand over the tow to the commercial/private vessel provided it appears capable and the transfer can be conducted safely.
2.1.8 Requests to use a CCG resource to engage in salvage operations of vessels, outside of a SAR operation, with no persons on board shall be carefully assessed prior to authorization by the Assistant Commissioner. Since salvage is normally the responsibility of the vessel owner, the status of the owner must be determined to be unknown, unwilling or unable. Recovery of an abandoned vessel including towing to a place of refuge should be made under the CCG Environmental Response mandate.
2.1.9 Should a disabled vessel be towed by a CCG resource the towing operation should always be to the nearest place of refuge or to a rendez-vous position where the tow can be safely transferred to commercial or private mobile facilities. In all cases, the Commanding Officer shall record the date and time when the SAR operation ended i.e., when the persons aboard the disabled vessel have been transferred to a safe place and the time when they started the disabled vessel operation under CCG Environmental Response mandate in the log book.
2.1.10 On arrival at the place of refuge, it is not the responsibility of the CCG resource to secure the disabled vessel. However, the Commanding Officer may take such action as is necessary, having due regard for the circumstances of the case, to ensure that the disabled vessel is safely secured or anchored.
2.1.11 Commanding Officers may have to cast off the tow in order to respond to a distress situation or incident of a more serious nature. In instances when the persons onboard the disabled vessel consider themselves to be in potential danger and wish to abandon, the Commanding Officer of the CCG resource should consider the risks and if prudent to do so, evacuate these persons and continue on with the more serious incident with the knowledge that these persons may have to remain onboard the CCG resource for an extended period. The Commanding Officer shall notify the JRCC/MRSC of the action taken.
2.2 When ice is present
2.2.1 The provisions of this paragraph 2.2 apply in addition to the provisions of paragraph 2.1.
2.2.2 In the ordinary practice of seamanship, towing involves fewer risks to the towed vessel if the towing vessel is smaller or the same size as the towed vessel. When ice is present, CCG resources are generally much larger than the disabled vessel, thus due care and attention must be exercised. Tasking smaller vessels to tow a disabled vessel of similar size is an option preferable to tasking a larger CCG ship. Additional consideration should be given to the possibility of using a larger CCG ship to escort the towing vessel and its tow through the ice.
2.2.3 Therefore, given the considerations in paragraph 2.2.2 for disabled vessels when ice is present, the CCG will not tow small vessels of less than 33 metres in length with persons onboard. Instead, other options to be considered to render assistance include, but are not limited to the following:
- provide assistance to find alternate towing arrangements and standby to provide icebreaker escort for the tow if required;
- standby until ice conditions improve;
- render onboard technical assistance;
- assist crew to transfer to a safe place and tow with no persons onboard; or,
- as a last resort, assist crew to abandon vessel, transfer them to a safe place, leave the unoccupied vessel and depart the area.
3. Towing instructions and conditions
In all situations where towing is appropriate, and as far as safely feasible in the circumstances, the Commanding Officer of the responding CCG unit shall instruct the master or person in charge of the assisted vessel on the towing operation that is contemplated, its risks and CCG expectations during the tow. The master or person in charge of the assisted vessel shall confirm his or her understanding of the instructions and risks, and agree to the conditions of the towing operation. If safely feasible, the Commanding Officer of the responding CCG unit shall obtain a signature of the Towing Conditions and Understanding (see Appendix 1).

Scaling Online Education: Increasing Access to Higher Education
Moloney, Jacqueline F.; Oakley, Burks, II
Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, v14 n1 p55-70 Mar 2010
Over the past decade, online courses and entire online degree programs have been made available, serving millions of students in higher education. These online courses largely have been designed and taught using the theoretical concepts and practical strategies of Asynchronous Learning Networks (ALN). During 2003-04, approximately two million learners were engaged in higher education via ALN, and online enrollments are expected to grow at a 20% annual rate during the next few years. The Sloan Consortium (Sloan-C) has worked to help institutions improve the quality of their online offerings, and research has shown that ALN is a viable alternative to classroom-based learning. This paper reviews online enrollment trends in higher education, describes the characteristics of online programs that have scaled successfully to meet increasing demand, identifies challenges impacting the continued growth of online enrollments in this sector, and outlines the opportunities for increasing access to higher education through scaling of online initiatives. (Contains 4 figures.)

in the pic: all the akhil mehtas. me, puneet, nimit, akhil, pralav.
Ok. So this post is all about our marketing trip on 25-01-2008, friday. Well, our motive was to promote Quark '08 (http://www.bits-quark.org/) in Goan colleges. And so Nimit, our respected and feared Marketing Head, Member-of-Organizing-Committee ordered all of us to be at the main gate at 7:15 sharp.
Now, before i continue, i suppose you must know the main characters in this story. These are:
1. Akhil Mehta aka TylerDurden aka Tillu. 2nd year. Bigshot on DC. And the reason for the title of this post.
2. Lita Das aka Bhonpu (according to NIMIT). 3rd year, very highly noticeable. And her 6 feet plus height is not the only factor.
3. Puneet Gupta aka Akhil Mehta. (reasons will be clear to you once you are done reading this post). 3rd year. by far the quietest 3rd year. Especially useful when you need wisecracks to be well, cracked.
4. Pranshu Sharma aka me aka Akhil Mehta. ME.
5. Pratik Mandrekar aka Akhil Mehta. 2nd year, quiet Honda Activa (aka Kinetic Honda) driver. Smart 'local Goan'.
6. Pralav Dessai aka Akhil Mehta aka Driver Bhaiyya. 3rd year, 'local Goan' guy again. Drives the car well, including situations where a sonic boom occurs very close to his left ear.
7. Nimit Mehra aka Akhil Mehta aka THE ORGANIZER aka THE MARKETING HEAD. Boss, basically. The 'senapati' of this vaanar sena that went all around Goa on Friday.
So my day started with Lita whispering (for a change) at my door at 6 am to wake me up. So then finally we sign out of the campus by around 7 45 am. Now the plan was that Pratik and Puneet would go on Activa while the rest of us would be in the car. Then we realize the guy who rented us the Honda Activa (aka Kinetic Honda) needed to be dropped off to Vasco. So with me and Lita stuffed on the front seat next to the driver we almost reached Vasco following Pratik who had the bike-guy sitting behind him. And then we realize, that we could have just left Puneet at the campus gate and continued.
And then we realized the road through the jungle to Vasco had a huge huge hole in it. So Pralav tried getting us all back on a road. And I tried saving myself from being squished between the door and Lita while Lita shouted out stuff like "Hum nahin bachenge... we can't reach Vasco.. we can't reach GEC (goa engg college)... Akhil Mehta! Shut up Nimit Mehra.. Pralav bewkoof look at the road. Akhil Mehta!.."
We survived. And soon were on our way to Goa Engineering College. We reached there before 9, when the classes start. I got a good audience. Told them all about Quark, the events, the workshops, the special nights, and I told them that a London troupe of jugglers who have performed at Olympics 2004 were coming to our campus (http://www.feedingthefish.com/), and that magic shows are not just "pulling the rats out of habits" (double-slip of my tongue). So we finished with our job and soon were on our way to RIT (forgot the full form).
So we were having fun, singing songs, making Pralav change the radio station every 30 seconds and laughing uncontrollably whenever Lita would say something and Nimit would try to counter her point. "Akhil Mehta!... Nimit bewkoof.. Pralav do not drive fast. I wanna sleep... Akhil Mehta!.. Itna tez nahin... Radio chalao bewkoof!... Akhil Mehta!..." No matter who took her case/did something that annoyed her, Lita would utter 2 words "Akhil Mehta". Hence all non-Litaeans belonging to Quark-teamus kingdom, Marketingae phylum and Friday-teamus Order have a genus name of Akhil Mehta.
Well, our respected and revered and feared and non brain-severed boss was having a good time too. We all are very scared of Nimit. And we all respect him a lot. And he is a good boss. And he is not getting married to Lita. He was totally cool with us teasing him with her. And he totally was not avoiding being in the same vehicle. Pralav will not be the chauffeur of the newly-married lovebirds. Me and Tillu will not be the two witnesses needed to register a marriage. Nimit is well respected by all of us. So, he was laughing and not calling anyone a 'dumba$$'. This is when Tillu decides to tell us all about this song which is now our marketing anthem (as Nimit put it). "Bhande kali kara lo".
Now, this song fills you up with the same feelings as "aie hiphopper' and 'tic tic tic tic tic tic' do. Bhande in Punjabi means utensils. The feel that comes in this song, is unmatched. You gotta listen to it to know what i mean. Ultimate song!!! Totally cracked the Punjabis (Nimit, Tillu and Puneet) up.
Anyway, so we were continuing with "kali-karaoing the bhandes" ie our going to college, meeting students, handing them flyers worth 11 bucks each, being reminded not to be so generous with the flyers as they were expensive, put up our posters on top of every other techfest's posters, talk to some more people, and then run to the car/activa, where Nimit and Lita would mock-fight with each other. ("gimme my wallet Lita" "you give me my cellphone first" "ek haath de, ek haath le" "Im throwing your wallet outside" "Lita..." "bewkoof..."). And the rest of us would just be content with having a good laugh at their expense.
And so we continued with our trip, and then stopped in Madgaon to have lunch. Which is when we got to know Tillu speaks brilliant chaste Hindi. He told us he had just missed winning a Hindi poem-reciting competition on Hindi Diwas. Later Nimit told me the piece of Hindi literature which he had brought to life with his serene and captivating manner of speaking was "machhli jal ki rani hai".
So well then, on and on we went. Lita went on about Akhil Mehta and Kinetic Honda. I was well, just very happy 1. Tillus shorter than me 2. Litas crazier than me. Pralav was amazed Eeshan was right about what would happen on friday (he had imitated Lita very well, I believe) and happy his speedometer's 'kaanta' had the capacity to go upto 120 and not get stuck at 100. Nimit was happy we were done, and that since he was not in the car, his case would not be taken (quite wrong though, Tillu me Puneet and Pralav had fun). Puneet and Pratik were well, themsleves. All cool and calm and quiet. Enjoying the show. Tillu was being Tillu and happy that for once Lita was not yelling his name out once every 2 minutes. We had another round of Bhande kali kara lo.
And then we came back to campus where Lita finally got her Kinetic Honda and I got to sit behind her. We covered the entire campus, I believe. Hoping someone we know would see us. Which they did. :D
Brilliant trip. And our boss is going to blog about it too!

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
For Mother's Day, my kids delivered a heap of wonderful, handmade presents. In addition to beaded necklace and earrings, countless drawings and sweet notes, my older daughter made a little "book" in which she told a story about me.
Usually, we tell our children stories, typically about made up characters or baby stories about themselves. Until I sat and read what my daughter thought of me, I hadn't paused to wonder how she perceived the things I do. After each prompt on the page, my daughter answered (correctly) that I like chocolate best, enjoy singing in the car, and give her and her sister cuddles every day. The last was most important to her. But when it came to the meal I make best, she'd scratched out "cooked" and replaced it with "gets." Even harder to read was that I dislike working at the computer. I wasn't sure that I had conveyed that, and I wasn't sure whether it was really me she meant, or herself.
Sometimes it's hard to be a working parent, especially one who works from home. The children leave to go to school, as does their father, but I stay home, and work from here most of the time. The purpose of this is that my career can be done remotely, and because we both wanted to make sure there was a primary parent available for the kids.
So how do I explain to my children that home is also a workplace for me, and how do I explain my complicated job to them? How does any parent explain, especially when dealing with a child's resentment of how the work intrudes on what a child wants from a parent?
I've explained to my kids that I'm a writer and editor. This is a pretty easy job to explain. Kids understand some people write, and they understand that someone will always "grade" what other people write. I can also show them books I've co-written and also books I've edited, and the pieces of building a book. I've even published a children's book, so there's actually something I did that is interesting to them, with nice picture as well! My husband is an architect. That's an even easier job to explain. He has shown them how he thinks about designing buildings using legos and blocks, and they've gotten to tour buildings he's worked on.
Handling their frustration and disappointment when work "steals" us from them is harder, but I find the key is following through on my promises. What my kids usually want is my time and attention, so if I promise that at a specific time we'll do a specific thing, and then follow-through, it usually keeps the balance in place, and builds their trust that even though mom is working now, she'll play a game later.
How do you explain jobs and work to your kids? And how do you handle that work-demand and child-demand conflict?

text: This latest month was tough on my hair: shooting days, traveling, events and shows and everything else that come with fashion week always makes this time of the year pretty tough, leaving my hair looking pretty worn out, in every way. I avoided it this time, though: to be well prepared for these 30 days of stress, I tested Pantene's new Smart Pro-V Conditioner, which nourishes your mane, and figures out your hair's weaknesses, giving it back its strength and shine and making it look amazing, from root to tip. The trick is to use conditioner every time you wash your hair, and to remember to protect your hair when you style it, as the heat of hairdryers and straighteners are a huge stress factor for your hair. The result? #hairgoals accomplished!

The mission of Piedmont Opera is to create operatic productions of the highest artistic quality to enrich our community and to advance the art form.
Our Vision is to be the finest opera company of our size in the nation and acknowledged as the best at what we do.
The History of Piedmont Opera
After three years of planning, Piedmont Opera (previously known as Piedmont Opera Theatre) raised the curtain on its first production, Verdi's Rigoletto, in September 1978. With support from the National Endowment for the Arts, this production and the four subsequent years were produced in conjunction with other regional opera companies. In 1983, Piedmont Opera Theatre was able to produce Puccini's La Boheme on its own.
Founded by the late Norman Johnson (1928-1996), Piedmont Opera is now in its 37th year of continuous operation. The company strives to remain a nationally recognized and acclaimed regional opera company and a leader in the classical arts community.
Piedmont Opera produces the highest quality opera productions possible by using international, national, regional and local professional singers and technicians. Piedmont Opera currently attracts patrons from 16 states and communities throughout the Piedmont, Upstate, and Virginia. Since 1978, Piedmont Opera has performed over 48 different productions to an audience of over 150,000 people. In addition to two regularly scheduled productions each year, Piedmont Opera also conducts a wide variety of educational and outreach programs. As the second largest opera company in the state of North Carolina, Piedmont Opera has a current operation budget of $936,000 and operates with an administrative staff of four full-time people.

"What should I do to get into design?"
Every designer has asked this question at some point and, despite what the internet says, the answer isn't Photoshop/Sketch/CSS. In fact, it's far simpler.
Observe everything.
Take a passenger's point-of-view to your own life for awhile. What happens when we have the courage to close our mouths and open our eyes is nothing shy of amazing.
What's the worst part of your commute?
Where do people congregate most at your office?
Was it immediately obvious how to open that door?
What makes your favorite restaurant so great?
How do first dates interact at your local bar?
Only when you allow yourself to see how things really are can you be free to see how they could be.

Well done Tis. Got a mention on Talksport as to how bizarre it's been given he's been Exeter boss for 11/12 years? and this is the first time he's ever won it!
I don't know why he got it. It's all down to the hard work of the players on the pitch and the coaching staff who Tis surrounds himself with. Nothing to do with Tis at all.....................................
Well done, Tis. Says he's really only interested in winning Manager of the Year, and that from someone devoid of ambition.
I see Don Goodman was on the panel, seems he's forgiven us for not paying him !
So much for the curse. Looking good for September at the moment!
Has been nominated for September as well! With those two defeats I can't see him winning it.

Oh no! The curse of not winning the trophy looms!
