Aegean Reports 2016 Profit Down 53 Percent
Greek airline Aegean announced its 2016 results on Thursday, showing a 53 percent drop in net earnings, on weak demand partially due to higher tax.
Net profit for the year came in at EUR€32.2 million, down from 2015’s €68.4 million. Revenue was up 4 percent at €1.02 billion.
Aegean said a strong third quarter wasn’t enough to make up for the weakness in Q2, and that an increase in Value Added Tax on airfares impacted the full year results.
The airline carried just under 12.5 million passengers in 2016, a rise of 7 percent, with international numbers up 12 percent to 6.7 million. Domestic pax numbers rose by a more modest 2 percent to 5.7 million.
Traffic (in revenue passenger km) jumped 13 percent on an available seat km capacity increase of 12 percent, with resulting load factor up 0.6 percentage points at 77.4 percent.
The airline said it adjusted its network during the fourth quarter, helping its load factor, particularly on international routes.
Looking forward, Aegean’s Managing Director Dimitris Gerogiannis said “In 2017 we will continue to adjust our network and focusing on our Athens hub. Preliminary indications for the summer season are positive with a rising pre-bookings trend compared to last year.”
Aegean, the largest Greek airline by passengers carried, has a fleet of 61 aircraft operating to 145 destinations. It acquired former flag carrier Olympic Air in 2012.

Techno Tuesday: M.A.N.D.Y. talks Philipp Jung sabbatical, upcoming tour and Get Physical success
Techno Tuesday is a feature on Dancing Astronaut documenting the culture of underground dance music. We’ll bring you exclusive interviews, tracks, and narratives from artists within the techno, tech house, and deep house world in an effort to shed light on some of the best talent outside the world of mainstream dance music.
While the meaning behind M.A.N.D.Y.‘s moniker is constantly up for debate — does it mean “me and you,” or is it a nod to Barry Manilow’s 70s hit “Mandy?” What is known for sure is the duo’s undisputed reputation as house Renaissance men. Before they became one of the era’s most prolific tech house outfits, Philipp Jung and Patrick Bodmer humbly met as young lads in Saarbrücken, Germany, but were separated by the realities of studying and record-label jobs.
Bound together by the unifying threads of dance music, Jung and Bodmer reunited to build their illustrious catalogue of remixes and numerous original productions. After becoming resident DJs in the booming Frankfurter scene of the early 2000s, M.A.N.D.Y. formed their Get Physical label in 2002 together with German duo Booka Shade. In 2005, Get Physical saw the release of M.A.N.D.Y.’s biggest hit “Body Language” and took home the coveted title of DJ Mag’s Label of the Year.
Flash forward to 2016, and M.A.N.D.Y. performs across Peru, South East Asia, Australia and Argentina before releasing their hotly anticipated debut full length, Double Fantasy. This November brought sad news for many M.A.N.D.Y. fans, however, as Jung announced his sabbatical until further notice. Those disheartened to learn about Jung’s sabbatical must understand the history of the duo; luckily, we sat down with Bodmer to get the full scoop.
Philipp just announced his sabbatical. What are your plans, Patrick? Do you think M.A.N.D.Y. might take a different direction with the absence of a member?
First of all, Philipp and I are still in a very strong friendship and we are still running our Get Physical label together. We are constantly exchanging musical ideas for the label and also some parts and ideas for our M.A.N.D.Y. project.
For the musical side and production of M.A.N.D.Y., it is only me involved, and has been for around a year now following the album. I will definitely miss my best friend on tour as we always enjoyed quality time in between all of the shows. But I am also happy to lead the musical direction in just one direction, which makes it easy for me to work as I don’t have to compromise in some parts. For example, when comes to club sets I like stronger pushing darker sounds and dirty or rougher aspects more than Philipp.
Just like Philipp’s sabbatical, I also had my own break from touring a few years ago when I decided to get married and to start a family. I took a lot of touring time off to spend more time with my family, so I actually didn’t tour overseas for around three years when my baby was born. I am really happy about this decision, and now I am really happy to be on the road again!
Have you prepared for this upcoming tour differently since it’s Philipp’s last one for a while?
We are playing a lot of our favourite records from the last few years, just as we would be if we were in a living room together and playing records as good, old memories to each other. But most of the tracks are fresh releases from recent weeks or the are unreleased as we always prefer to play mostly actual ‘new’ music.
What about playing in the underground dance scene in America is different than playing elsewhere?
I hadn’t been on tour in the US for nearly five years, and it’s only been since March earlier this year that I have been coming back again. Yesterday we played at Audio in San Francisco, it was already completely packed at midnight and WE could play whatever we liked, from Disco to experimental Electro, people were really open minded. The sale of alcohol stops too early — that potentially be something to disturb or interrupt the flow for the people I think, as it is not an unlimited as in my hometown Berlin for example. I loved that we could hang out with the club owners and DJs until the afternoon to talk about music cultures and sound systems. So that was completely like Berlin, haha!
What is appealing about a globally influenced house sound from a label head perspective?
We love the fact that we can expand our A&R network around the world, so we can find new music and create a musical exchange with producers, songwriters and singers. For example, we are constantly working with teams in Brazil and have been for many years, and also in South Africa ever since we took part in the “Bridges For Music Project.” There have been a number of great tracks and singles released on Get Physical through to today, including a single from Black Coffee, as well as through our Compilation series including “Brazil Gets Physical“ and “South Africa Gets Physical.” We’re also working on more projects like this in other countries at the moment.
What does 2018 have in store for Get Physical?
For M.A.N.D.Y., I have reworked club versions of tracks that come out on our last album. The next one of these will be released just before Christmas, including Blondi:sh and Re:you remixes. There will also be two compilations including exclusive reworks and remixes by Gerd Janson, Prins Thomas and more. Together with Audiofly we just finished the first single for our M.A.N.F.L.Y. project, which will be released early next year. And for M.A.N.D.Y. there will be new single releases over the next year, not only on Get Physical!

Ukraine announced on Friday that it had received its first delivery of a sophisticated multiple rocket launcher system, adding to a long-range artillery arsenal provided by the West.
“The first MLRS M270s have arrived! They will be good company for the HIMARS on the battlefield,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov wrote on social media, referring to the US high-mobility precision artillery rocket systems recently deployed in the dispute. “No mercy for the enemy,” he added.
London had announced in June the delivery of M270 MLRS rocket launchers with a range of 80 kilometers, in addition to the American high mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS) of the same range sent by Washington.
Moscow continues to warn Western countries against delivering long-range weapons to Kyiv.
The delivery of HIMARS to Ukraine has given its troops a boost in recent weeks and could help slow Russian advances, military experts say.< /p>
Since mid-June, Ukraine has destroyed more than 20 important Russian ammunition depots and command posts with HIMARS that were previously too far from the front line to be reached by traditional projectiles.< /p>
But these new weapons are not a magic bullet either, warn experts, who point out that it will take more weapons and radar systems to use con together to defeat the Russians.
Here is an example of M270 (photo below).

The Ocean at the End of the Lane
July 2013 Indie Next List
— Carol Schneck Varner, Schuler Books & Music, Okemos, MI
View the List
#1 New York Times Bestseller
UK National Book Awards Book of the Year
“Fantasy of the very best.”—Wall Street Journal
A groundbreaking work as delicate as a butterfly’s wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out.
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn’t thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she’d claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse where she once lived, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
“[Gaiman’s] mind is a dark fathomless ocean, and every time I sink into it, this world fades, replaced by one far more terrible and beautiful in which I will happily drown.”
—New York Times Book Review
Praise For The Ocean at the End of the Lane…
“[W]orthy of a sleepless night . . . a fairy tale for adults that explores both innocence lost and the enthusiasm for seeing what’s past one’s proverbial fence . . . Gaiman is a master of creating worlds just a step to the left of our own.” — USA Today on The Ocean at the End of the Lane
“Remarkable . . . wrenchingly, gorgeously elegiac. . . . [I]n The Ocean at the End of the Lane, [Gaiman] summons up childhood magic and adventure while acknowledging their irrevocable loss, and he stitches the elegiac contradictions together so tightly that you won’t see the seams.” — Star Tribune (Minneapolis) on The Ocean at the End of the Lane
“Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything. . . .[I]t’s a meditation on memory and mortality, a creative reflection on how the defining moments of childhood can inhabit the worlds we imagine.” — Journal Sentinel (Milwaukee, WI)
“His prose is simple but poetic, his world strange but utterly believable—if he was South American we would call this magic realism rather than fantasy.” — The Times (London) on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE
“Poignant and heartbreaking, eloquent and frightening, impeccably rendered, it’s a fable that reminds us how our lives are shaped by childhood experiences, what we gain from them and the price we pay.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“[A] compelling tale for all ages . . . entirely absorbing and wholly moving.” — New York Daily News on The Ocean at the End of the Lane
“[A] story concerning the bewildering gulf between the innocent and the authoritative, the powerless and the powerful, the child and the adult. . . . Ocean is a novel to approach without caution; the author is clearly operating at the height of his career.” — The Atlantic Wire on The Ocean at the End of the Lane
“Ocean has that nearly invisible prose that keeps the focus firmly on the storytelling, and not on the writing. . . . This simple exterior hides something much more interesting; in the same way that what looks like a pond can really be an ocean.” — io9
“This slim novel, gorgeously written, keeps its talons in you long after you’ve finished.” — New York Post on The Ocean at the End of the Lane
“In Gaiman’s latest romp through otherworldly adventure, a young boy discovers a neighboring family’s supernatural secret. Soon his innocence is tested by ancient, magical forces, and he learns the power of true friendship. The result is a captivating read, equal parts sweet, sad, and spooky.” — Parade on The Ocean at the End of the Lane
“’The Ocean at the End of the Lane’ is fun to read, filled with his trademarked blend of sinister whimsy. Gaiman’s writing is like dangerous candy—you’re certain there’s ground glass somewhere, but it just tastes so good!” — Bookish (Houston Chronicle book blog)
“The impotence of childhood is often the first thing sentimental adults forget about it; Gaiman is able to resurrect, with brutal immediacy, the abject misery of being unable to control one’s own life.” — Laura Miller, Salon
“[W]ry and freaky and finally sad. . . . This is how Gaiman works his charms. . . . He crafts his stories with one eye on the old world, on Irish folktales and Robin Hood and Camelot, and the other on particle physics and dark matter.” — Chicago Tribune on The Ocean at the End of the Lane
“When I finally closed the last page of this slim volume it was with the realization that I’d just finished one of those uncommon perfect books that come along all too rarely in a reader’s life.” — Charles DeLint, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction on The Ocean at the End of the Lane

V-Tech BT-17333 Battery
V-Tech BT-17333 Battery
Is your V-Tech cordless phone demanding a battery replacement? Then the V-Tech BT-17333 Replacement Battery would be a great choice! Having an extended shelf life, this NiCd battery can last many charge cycles with just minimum capacity loss. This rechargeable Nickel Cadmium battery can perform extremely well in cold weather conditions. Hence, if you reside in a place where temperatures are low, consider purchasing the V-Tech BT-17333 3.6V 400 mAh Battery for your cordless phone.
Does the V-Tech BT-17333 Cordless Phone Battery fall under hazardous waste matter?
Normally, metals that are toxic have a regulatory level crossing beyond which they could pose a threat to the environment and human life. In that case, Cadmium is labeled as a hazardous waste with a regulatory level of 1.0 mg/l. Nickel Cadmium batteries obviously fall under such hazardous waste classification. So, do recycle this rechargeable nickel cadmium battery BT17333 once it’s dead. Wondering how to recycle your dead NiCd batteries? Just return them to Batteries Direct; we will take care of battery recycling.
The power of my cordless phone fails quite often despite fully charging its battery. How can I overcome this problem?
Considering your situation, it’s possible that your battery is affected by a problem called the memory effect. The rechargeable Nickel Cadmium battery you use probably thought that it was fully charged when it was not. For instance, it thought it was 100% charged when it’s just 60% charged. That’s why the power of your cordless phone failed frequently despite showing full charge. The rechargeable Nickel Cadmium battery acquires this false memory when you recharge the battery without discharging it. However, you can overcome this issue by draining the battery in your cordless phone until it shows a “battery low” indication. When this happens, recharge your battery from scratch.
I am using the V-Tech BT-17333 Replacement Battery for my cordless phone. What is the recharging procedure I should follow?
As you use the V-Tech BT-17333 Replacement Battery for your cordless phone, follow the recharging method that a NiCd battery follows. Initially, you have to fully charge the battery and use it completely. Let your battery achieve 1 V level per cell and only at this point you can recharge your NiCd battery. This process is known as a full recharge cycle.
My NiCd batteries swelled up when I charged them. What could be the reason?
NiCd batteries can possibly swell or rupture when they are overheated. Another possible reason why NiCd batteries swell is due to the use of an unspecified or specified charger that is altered or tampered. So, don’t repeat these mistakes in future.

Curators* Lab 2022
- What role does curation play in deepening our practices and producing knowledge?
- How do we open ourselves to various forms of learning through curation?
- How to empower the self by centering our own lived experiences within curation?
Curators* Lab invites emerging queer BIPOC curators, artists, activists, thinkers, academics, and cultural practitioners to come together to better understand the significant roles of curation as a tool for social movements and knowledge-production outside of the museum and ivory-tower of academia.
Through this platform, we are committed to continuing our work with the queer BIPOC community to practice co-creating, co-curating, and distributing knowledge in the community; for example, through sessions on Navigating Queer Curation and Praxis, Comradeship as Praxis workshop, TRANSCENTERED – Leaving No One Behind, and Process as Collective. Here, we invite participants with their existing skill sets to expand their practices into motions beyond the confined traditional curation.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Curators* Lab will consist of four intensive yet intimate sessions led by artists, activists, and academic curators. The sessions are designed to facilitate and provide an immersive mentorship and knowledge-exchange experience through which fellows will be encouraged to share, learn, and work their ideas alongside our mentors and fellow participants.
Here, we will collectively explore the research processes and various curation forms deeply rooted in queer radical politics, anti-racist work, anti-imperialist, and anti-colonial works transcending the Western canon.
Understanding curation from the standpoints of queer politics, intersectionality, and critical race theory subverts the dominant cultural narratives that shape our practices. With the Curators* Lab, we aim at strategically re-shaping, re-envisioning, and rethinking curation concepts to create new possibilities.
IMPORTANT DATES AND DRAFT SESSIONS
Process as Collective, 10 am – 2 pm
Comradeship as Praxis, 10 am – 2 pm
Queer Curation and Praxis facilitated by J. Daniel Luther, 10 am – 2 pm
TRANSCENTERED – Leaving No One Behind by Sanni Est, 10 am – 2 pm
Curation: Ragil Huda, Dami Choi, arjunraj
Concept, Development & Artistic Direction: Louna Sbou, Nina Martin

Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-A, Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property, is filed by lenders who have claimed abandoned property as full or partial satisfaction of debt. The form indicates the fair market value of the property, which is recognizable as income.
1. Identify the fair market value of the property from box 4 of Form 1099-A. This amount is the gross proceeds, or income, recognizable from the abandonment of the property.
2. Deduct from the fair market of the property the basis of the abandoned property. Although basis is typically equal to the original basis of the property, this may differ if the property was inherited, or if acquired pursuant to a like-kind exchange allowed under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
3. Deduct from the value obtained in Step 2 the cost of any improvements that were not previously deducted as expenses of the property.
4. Deduct from the value obtained in Step 3 any costs included in the abandonment of the property. These can include legal and accounting fees incurred in making the decision to abandon the property. The IRS considers these to be costs of the property's disposition.
5. Add back to the value obtained in Step 4 any depreciation previously claimed on the property or related improvements. Previous depreciation deductions reduce the amount of your loss. The value obtained here is the investment loss on the property.

IBM WebSphere MQ
IBM MQ is a family of network software products that IBM launched for the first time as an IBM product in December 1993. It was originally called MQSeries, and was renamed WebSphere MQ in 2002 to join the suite of WebSphere products. In April 2014, it was renamed IBM MQ. The products that are included in the MQ family are IBM MQ, IBM MQ Advanced, IBM MQ Appliance, and IBM MQ for z/OS.
IBM MQ, (often referred to as "MQ"), is IBM's Messaging solution for Enterprise and IBM's Message Oriented Middleware offering. It allows independent and potentially non-concurrent applications on a distributed system to securely communicate with each other. MQ is available on a large number of platforms (both IBM and non-IBM), including z/OS (mainframe), OS/400 (IBM System i or AS/400), Transaction Processing Facility, UNIX (AIX, HP-UX, Solaris), HP NonStop, OpenVMS, Linux, OS 2200, and Microsoft Windows.
IBM MQ was the most popular system for messaging across multiple platforms in 2000, including Windows, Linux, OS/2, IBM mainframe and midrange, and Unix.
The core components of MQ are:
- Message: Messages are collections of binary or character (for instance ASCII or EBCDIC) data that have some meaning to a participating program. As in other communications protocols, storage, routing, and delivery information is added to the message before transmission and stripped from the message prior to delivery to the receiving application.
- Queue: Message queues are objects that store messages in an application.
- Queue Manager: a system service that provides a logical container for the message queue. It is responsible for transferring data to other queue managers via message channels. Although not strictly required for message-oriented middleware, is an IBM MQ prerequisite.
Programs integrated with IBM MQ use a consistent application program interface (API) across all platforms.
Support of service-oriented architecture
IBM MQ is a key component in IBM's service-oriented architecture (SOA) strategy, providing the universal messaging backbone across 80 different platforms. The growing importance of SOA and the growth of Web Services and other connectivity mechanisms are clearly important developments. Because of the loosely coupled nature of the message queuing model, a large number of existing MQ customers feel that they are already adopting SOA principles. The MQ Service definition support pack MA93 allows MQ applications to be catalogued as software assets that can be reused and composed as Web Services.
There are many ways to access IBM MQ facilities.
Some of the APIs directly supported by IBM are:
- IBM Message Queue Interface (MQI) for C, COBOL, PL/I, Java, Rexx, RPG, and C++
- Java Message Service (JMS)
- XMS for C/C++ and .NET
- Representational State Transfer
Additional APIs (not officially supported) are also available via third parties, for example:
- Perl interface (developed and contributed by Hildo Biersma), available from CPAN.
- Python (programming language) interface PyMQI (originally developed by Les Smithson), available from PyPI
- Windows PowerShell
IBM MQ provides assured one-time delivery of messages across a wide variety of platforms. The product emphasizes reliability and robustness of message traffic, and ensures that a message should never be lost if MQ is appropriately configured.
It needs to be remembered that a message in the context of MQ has no implication other than a gathering of data. MQ is very generalized and can be used as a robust substitute for many forms of intercommunication. For example, it can be used to implement reliable delivery of large files as a substitute for FTP.
MQ provides application designers with a mechanism to achieve non-time-dependent architecture. Messages can be sent from one application to another, regardless of whether the applications are running at the same time. If a message receiver application is not running when a sender sends it a message, the queue manager will hold the message until the receiver asks for it. Ordering of all messages is preserved, by default this is in FIFO order of receipt at the local queue within priority of the message.
It provides a means for transforming data between different architectures and protocols, such as Big Endian to Little Endian, or EBCDIC to ASCII. This is accomplished through the use of message data exits. Exits are compiled applications that run on the queue manager host, and are executed by the IBM MQ software at the time data transformation is needed.
IBM MQ allows receipt of messages to "trigger" other applications to run, and thus provides the framework for a message driven architecture.
It implements the Java Message Service (JMS) standard API, and also has its own proprietary API, known as the Message Queuing Interface (MQI), which preceded the JMS several years in existence. As of version 188.8.131.52, MQ also supports the MQ Light API.
Unlike email, MQ itself is responsible for determining the destination of messages by the definition of queues, so processing of sent messages can be moved to a different application at a different destination. MQ provides a robust routing architecture, allowing messages to be routed via alternative paths around a network of MQ managers. MQ can be implemented as a cluster, where multiple MQ implementations share the processing of messages to allow higher performance and load balancing.
The primary component of an IBM MQ installation is the Queue Manager. The queue manager handles storage, timing issues, triggering, and all other functions not directly related to actual movement of data.
Queue managers communicate with the outside world either via a direct software connection, referred to by IBM as a "bindings" connection, or via a network or "client" connection. The bindings connection is limited to programs running on the same physical host as the queue manager, whereas applications using a client connection can connect to a queue manager on any other host in the network.
Bindings connections are generally faster, but client connections allow for a more robust, easily changeable application design. For instance, with a client connection, the physical location of the queue manager is irrelevant, as long as it is reachable over the network.
Communication between queue managers relies on a channel. Each queue manager uses one or more channels to send and receive data to other queue managers. A channel is uni-directional; a second channel is required to return data. In a TCP/IP based network, a channel will send or receive data on a specific port. A sending channel has a defined destination and is associated with a specific transmission queue, the mechanism by which messages are queued awaiting transmission on the channel; a receiving channel will receive data from any other queue manager with a sending channel of the same name. When a receiving channel receives a message, it is examined to see which queue manager and queue it is destined for. In the event of a communications failure, MQ can automatically re-establish a connection when the problem is resolved.
The "listener" has the function of detecting connections from incoming channels and managing the connection of the sending to the receiving channels. It is the application's network interface to the queue manager. In a TCP/IP network, the listener will "listen" for connections on a specific port.
Local queues represent the location where data is stored awaiting processing.
Remote queues represent a queue on another queue manager. They define the destination queue, which is one element of the routing mechanism for messages.
To transmit data to a queue on another queue manager, a message is placed on a remote queue. A remote queue is sent via the temporary storage transmission queue associated with a channel. On placing a message on a remote queue, the message will be transmitted across the remote channel. If the transmission is successful the message is removed from the transmit queue. On receiving a message, the receiving queue manager will examine the message to determine whether the message is for itself or is required to forward on to another queue manager. If it is the destination, the required queue will be checked, and if it exists, the message will be placed on this queue, if not, placed on the dead letter queue. MQ has features to manage efficient transmission of data across a variety of communication media, so for example messages can be batched together until a queue reaches a particular depth.
Although the queue is FIFO, it is ordered based on the receipt in the local queue, not the committing of the message from the sender. Messages can be prioritized, and by default, the queue is prioritized in order of arrival. Queues will only be in sequence of addition if the message is added locally. Message grouping can be used to ensure a set of messages are in a specific order, aside from that, if sequence is critical, it is the application's responsibility to place sequence data in the message or implement a handshaking mechanism via a return queue. In reality, ordering will be maintained in straightforward configurations.
The other element of a queue manager is the log, the mechanism used to create the robustness. As a message is placed on a queue or a configuration change is made, the data is also logged. In the event of a failure, the log is used to recreate damaged objects and recreate messages. Only "persistent" messages will be recreated when a failure occurs—"non-persistent" messages are lost. Non-persistent messages can be sent across a channel set to a fast mode, in which delivery is not assured in the event of a channel failure.
MQ supports a wide variety of approaches to application development. Information can be retrieved from queues either by polling the queue to check for available data at suitable intervals, or alternatively MQ can trigger an event, allowing a client application to respond to the delivery of a message.
There are three software-based High Availability solutions available with IBM MQ; Queue Manager Clusters, Shared Queues, and Multi-Instance Queue Managers.
Queue Manager Clusters: Groups of two or more queue managers on one or more computers are defined to a cluster, providing automatic interconnection, and allow queues to be shared among them for load balancing and redundancy.
Shared Queues (z/OS only): In a Shared Queue environment, an application can connect to any of the queue managers within the queue-sharing group. Because all the queue managers in the queue-sharing group can access the same set of shared queues, the application does not depend on the availability of a particular queue manager. This gives greater availability if a queue manager stops because all the other queue managers in the queue-sharing group can continue processing the queue.
Multi-Instance Queue Managers (available from v7.0.1): Instances of the same queue manager are configured on two or more computers with their queues and meta data residing on shared storage. By starting multiple instances, one instance becomes the active instance and the other instances become standbys. If the active instance fails, a standby instance running on a different computer automatically takes over.

Background architectural reference
With the advent of computers, IBM saw an opportunity to apply new technology to the need for message switching.
In the early 1960s, IBM marketed the IBM 7740 Communication Control System and the IBM 7750 Programmed Transmission Control, which were programmable message switching systems.
The IBM System/360 was announced in April 1964 and with it came communication access methods such as BTAM and QTAM (Basic and Queued Telecommunications Access Methods). In 1971, TCAM, the Telecommunications Access Method, offered its users a more advanced form of message switching or message routing. TCAM was widely accepted, especially in the financial and brokerage industries. It supported asynchronous messaging, as with the later MQ. TCAM 3.0 added in reusable disk message queues for recovery soon thereafter, as with MQ. A high-level PL/I program could be used to access TRANSIENT datasets (dynamic message queues). Reading a message from a transient dataset resulted in that message being removed from the queue, as with a non-browse READ with MQ.
In the late 1970s, transaction management systems came into being, each trying to achieve a leadership position in the industry. Within IBM, CICS and IMS were chosen as strategic products to address the need for transaction management. Within both CICS and IMS, each had its version of message switching, IMS being a front-end queued system and CICS having its Transient Data facility as the possible basis for message switching.[citation??]
CICS established itself as a popular transaction management system in the 1968-1971 timeframe. Those users who had adopted TCAM for its message handling capabilities, now wanted a combined use of TCAM with CICS. In December 1971, IBM announced CICS support of TCAM as part of the CICS/OS-Standard product, to be delivered in December 1972. For interested customers, this enabled them to use TCAM for its message handling strengths and also have TCAM-connected terminals or computers interface with CICS online applications.[citation??]
In January 1973, TCAM continued to be supported by CICS/OS-Standard Version 2.3. However, TCAM support was omitted from the initial release of CICS/VS, announced in February 1973 and delivered in June 1974. Needless to say, many CICS-TCAM customers were not happy with that product direction.
With considerable pressure from CICS-TCAM customers, the CICS support of TCAM was reinstated in the CICS/VS 1.1 product, as of September 1974. In addition to the previous DCB support, with this reinstatement of TCAM support, CICS began to support TCAM access via VTAM, also known as the ACB support. CICS TCAM ACB support was discontinued as of the CICS/ESA Version 3 product in 1990.
In 1992, IBM announced a new product called MQSeries. This brand name was later renamed to "WebSphere MQ" (sometimes shortened to WMQ) in 2002 to support the WebSphere family name and the product. In 2014, it was renamed "IBM MQ". MQ was to be the extension of TCAM functionality from IBM-only systems to all other platforms. MQ has an architecture that enables heterogeneous systems to communicate with each other (e.g. IBM, HP, Sun, Tandem, etc.). MQ can be used with CICS systems to send and receive data to/from any other MQ-eligible system. MQ can be used to initiate work in a CICS system or a CICS transaction can initiate work in another CICS or non-CICS system.
IBM MQ now supports 80 different environments and has become the leading message assured delivery switching/routing product in the industry.
MQ and web services
IBM MQ can be used as a foundation for creating service-oriented architectures. Several additional product options exist to help convert legacy programs into functioning web services through the use of MQ. Larger, heterogeneous enterprises often appear as a federation of somewhat autonomous domains based on lines of business, functional or governance areas. In such environments, some services may be shared or reused only within a single domain, while others may be shared or reused throughout the enterprise. IBM MQ provides the means by which communication exists between lines-of-business or otherwise separate business domains.
A related product in the IBM MQ product family, called IBM Integration Bus (formerly WebSphere Message Broker), enables a diverse and robust set of extensions to queue-based architectures. Using IBM Integration Bus, users can implement a WebServices front-end, complete with WSDL file support that can interact with any queue-based application.

It all started in 1982, I was 15 years old, I started my training as a jeweler in a famous jewelry workshop in Geneva.
It was the beginning of all wonders, the observation of forms, the balance and coherence of wonderful pieces, the discovery of infinite creativity.
A watchmaking training then brought the technique, the precision, the rigor and patience,
research and development, prototypes, unique pieces, and personal enrichment as well.
All of this afforded me knowledge and tremendous practice of these art crafts.
This long journey is my road that I’ve shared with you for years through my creation and it is not about to stop.

These broad bean plants were sown from seed last October. They've finally started to flower - lovely white petals with dark centres.
The variety is 'Aquadulce Claudia', which is suitable for sowing in Autumn for an earlier harvest in May/ June. These have been overwintered under a cloche (which I have taken off in recent weeks).
I'll soon be sowing more broad beans ('Stereo') in April.
The plants have all been staked with bamboo canes and twine to provide them with some support.
Also pinch out the tops of the plants once the first beans form, to deter blackfly.
I also remove any side shoots that emerge from the base.
You can buy:
The broad beans were picked and were delicious.

Based on Imre Sarkadi’s drama entitled Simeon Stylites
All of us keep searching for our path upwards – a path that leads us out of human weakness and imperfection towards the Divine, some kind of integrity, meaning and our higher self. But we must act to find this higher meaning. Some do meditation, others go to church, still others try to find truth in rules and principles. We all step up on a pillar, believing what we do will help us go in the good direction – after all, that is why we do it. But still, we have our doubts. Simeon takes us to the bottom of these doubts, looking for answers and letting all of us turn into Simeons for a little while.
Simeon is the company’s first piece based on a contemporary writer’s work, where the text becomes an organic part of the performance. It is based on Imre Sarkadi’s drama entitled Simeon Stylites, for the first time interpreted in the language of physical theatre, with text and dance creating a unique blend.
Where does the truth lie? Where is Sarkadi’s truth? Where is Simeon’s? And where is the human truth? Is God’s truth absolute or is it not?
The truth lies here. Sarkadi’s, Simeon’s and the human truth are all here. God’s truth is absolute. At least we believe so.

Dir: Guillaume Canet
Script: Guillaume Canet, Harlan Coben, Philippe Lefebvre
Cast: François Cluzet, Marie-Josée Croze, Kristin Scott Thomas
The discovery of two corpses reopens an investigation into the murder of paediatrician Alex Beck’s (Cluzet) wife Margot (Croze) 8 years ago. Cleared but still suspected of Margot’s killing, Beck is once again prime suspect. But a series of mysterious emails imply that his wife may still be alive.
Another year, another taut, superlative French thriller. Canet’s adaptation of American author Harlan Coben relocates Beck’s search for his dead missus from New Jersey to Paris in this dynamic mystery.
Despite the generic premise, the film has an abundance of inventive touches. A henchwoman who inflicts suffering on her victims using pressure points, torturing them but leaving no mark, is especially refreshing in this age of Hostel and Saw. Beck’s best friend (Kristen Scott Thomas) is also his sister’s lover, but Canet pushes her sexuality aside; she is a character who just happens to be gay. A galvanising chase scene across a busy highway will surely “earn” Tell No One the obligatory Hollywood makeover. Shame, really, as this is about as accessible to subtitle wary audiences as French cinema gets.
Tell No One is engrossing from start to finish, but its big reveal – unfolded via a lengthy monologue that Agatha Christie would be ashamed of – is predictable and the happy ending wraps things up a little too nicely. Canet keeps his cards too close to his chest; like the “he’s the killer” twist in White Noise, the revelation that our protagonist’s father was murdered has little impact because the his death has not been mentioned previosuly. And a series of schmaltzy flashbacks of Alex and Margot’s childhood feels as though it was compiled from stock commercial footage.
But these minor niggles do not detract from this superior thriller. Both intelligent and perplexing, Tell No One only failing is that it is too efficient. Unlike last year’s ambiguous Hidden/Caché, there is little to nourish the brain once it’s all over.

Prenatal Exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Compounds and ...
Eva Govarts, Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO)
Keywords: Endocrine disrupting compounds, Flemish environment and health survey, Left censored data, Marginal model, Principal component analysis.
Background: The incidence of childhood obesity has reached ‘epidemic’ proportions globally and there is an urgent need to increase our understanding of the impact of food contaminants on obesity development. There is still much uncertainty related to the causes and underlying physiological mechanisms of obesity.
Objective: In this study, we examine the hypothesis that prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in food plays a role in the development of obesity later in life. We are interested to study dose-response relationships between EDCs and both health outcomes and effect-biomarkers such as thyroid hormones.
Method: The Flemish environment and health survey (FLEHS) for human biomonitoring was introduced by Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO) and it was conducted in Flanders, Belgium for five-years (2002-2006). Relevant data on environmental pollution and related health indicators were also collected. In this study, we only used the data of mother-child cohort with a sample size of n = 1196. Mothers and their newborns, i.e., mother-child cohort, were selected by geographically stratified sampling resulting in 8 geographical areas covering 22% of the surface area of Flanders and 20% of the population. In our analysis, these geographical areas are treated as clusters. In addition to markers for exposures (EDCs), the other profiles considered are effect biomarkers, health outcomes, and some effect modifiers. Principal component analysis is used to cumulate mixture mechanism of EDCs on target body. For studying the dose-response relationships, a univariate and joint marginal models are fitted for both health outcomes and thyroid hormones. In environmental research, it is common to come across with measurements of exposure concentrations that are non-detectable or near limit of detection (LOD): left-censored data. Some imputation techniques are employed: single imputation, tobit regression and multiple imputation, are implemented, for sensitivity analysis reason.
Results and Conclusion: We found significant dose-response relationships between EDCs and both birth weight and head circumference from health outcomes, and between EDCs and both thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) from thyroid hormones outcomes.

Massachusetts State Police arrested 20 motorists on drunk driving charges during weekend sobriety patrols and checkpoints.
The arrests happened on Friday and Saturday at two sobriety checkpoints funded through grants from the Highway Safety Division of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.
On Friday, state police conducted saturation patrols for impaired drivers along Routes 93 and 495, said State Trooper Todd Nolan. These are additional patrols in a particular area that focus on looking for impaired drivers, he said.
The patrols Friday resulted in eight operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs arrests, a warrant arrest, two misdemeanor arrests, two criminal violations and 120 civil motor vehicle violations.
"If they stop a car but the person is not impaired ... the law still applies," said Nolan of the additional arrests and violations beyond operating under the influence.
On Saturday, state police from Troop A carried out saturation patrols as well as a sobriety checkpoint on Route 16 in Everett. The effort resulted in 12 arrests for operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs, three misdemeanor arrests for motor vehicle violations, eight criminal summons and 104 motor vehicle violations.


Narrator: This is Science Today. A new aerosol sealing system developed to fix leaky air ducts, has been found to save both energy and labor costs. Mark Modera, a staff scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory says the system seals ducts from the inside.
Modera: The idea behind getting to the leaks from inside the duct system was that we'd had field studies where we've found that most of the cost, maybe 80% of the cost of sealing the ducts would be the labor associated with trying to find the leaks, get to the leaks and seal them.
Narrator: There've been similar ideas in other fields - such as inserting robots through gas lines to tape up leaks. The problem was, they literally ran into obstacles.
Modera: Every time there's a Y or a T or any sort of intersections, it has troubles or even bends for that matter....it's not very good with bends. So then, we came up with the idea - well, if we could get particles to travel around those bends and go to the leaks, that would be best.
Narrator: The particles Modera uses are made of vinyl acetate. For Science Today, I'm Larissa Branin.

Rajon Rondo had 13 assists on the score sheet after the Celtics won in dramatic fashion over the Magic on Monday… except he only really had 12.
Zach Lowe of Sports Illustrated pointed it out this morning (caught first by Mark at Sham Sports): On the Celtics first play of the game Monday night Rondo is dribbling out at the top of the key while the Celtics run one of their standard sets. Ray Allen curls off a Shaquille O’Neal screen down low. Rondo hits Allen with a pass near the elbow and Allen then whips a bounce pass to Shaq, who makes a move under the basket and scores. Click here to see the video.
Rondo got an assist on that.
Yes, Ray Allen made the pass. And maybe there should not have been an assist at all considering Shaq dribbled and went under the basket to score. But it certainly wasn’t a Rondo assist.
The league emailed Lowe and said that the assist would be rescinded.
If I were cynical, I would say it was home cooking to pad the stats. First, Rondo doesn’t really need help because he has been setting up teammates when he had wide open shots all season. But I’m going to just assume this was an honest mistake. It’s not like there have been a bunch of borderline assists all season. Nope. They would never pad the stats in Boston. Nope.

I want a dog
I live alone in a small condo, work 9-5 about 25 miles from home, but I'd like to have a dog.
I figure I could keep my dog friend in doggy day care on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and then keep him or her in a crate on Tuesdays and Thursdays but have a dog walker visit once or twice a day.
I'm thinking of adopting an older rescue dog, possibly an older pomeranian or older labrador retriever.
Would this kinda life be cruel for an older dog? I'd like a companion, but I don't want to be selfish.
Should I get a dog or would a dog be better off with a retiree or a family?

If you have someone in to give it walks and company, you are not cruel. Just bear in mind that any new pet will need some time to settle in so if you can have a bit of time off to allow that, it would help. I hope you find a good match, and giving an older dog a home and your companionship is a great thing. Good luck, OP.

It's great you're thinking of adopting an older dog! Labs and Poms are so opposite - why those 2 breeds?
Labs are lovely but they shed a lot and even older ones can require a lot of exercise. Plus they take up a lot of space. If you're up for that, great.
Agree about not needing to crate the dog. And be careful about the daycare you choose. Older dogs can be vulnerable, particularly small breeds if you go with a Pom.

Sounds like you have a solid plan in place, OP. I think it's great... with the exception of the crate. I'm not going to flame you for suggesting a crate because they're NOT the worst thing in the world when used properly. I do, however, think that if you are matched up with the right dog you'll find the crate is not necessary.
As you search for your dog, make sure it will be comfortable going to daycare. Some doges thrive in this environment, while other can't handle it and are very unfriendly. You wouldn't want to stress the dog out, so just ask lots of questions of the rescuers to make sure the dog will be comfortable. You might even go so far as to ask if you can take the dog to daycare to see how it reacts before you commit to adopting.
Good luck! Please update us.

I take my dog, an energetic and mean dachshund, to day care every day. He loves it there, esp because he has five people playing with him and feeding him all day. He even goes on Saturdays for a half day because he gets bored all day staying home with me. it's expensive, but I know he is in an environment where he is loved at all times. A dogwalker would not work at all. He would bite them as soon as they walked in.
And he will not go in a cage. He'd rather be on the sofa or in bed, preferably with me.

You know NOTHING about dogs. They like crates because they are similar to dens in the wild. But a dog can come and go out of a den. They are not locked up in them.
A crate is fine and a lock on a crate is fine if it's used to transport the dog or to keep the dog in a room while the cable man is working in your flat.
But a crate with a closed locked door is bad.

Jesus. Crating is not cruel if it's for a reasonable period of time. Any vet or professional dog trainer will tell you that dogs don't mind being crated, WITHIN REASON. In fact, crates make a dog feel safe.
That said, in my opinion crating a dog for longer than 8 hours without a break IS cruel, but if you plan to have a dog walker then you should be fine.
Personally, I wish more dog owners were as conscientious and caring as the OP. Any dog would be lucky to be rescued by you.

Growing up, there was no leash law.
NOBODY walked their dogs.
EVERYBODY knew the neighborhood dogs names and who they belonged to. Very few dog fights. Very few dogs hit by cars.
Today WITH leash laws, I get the same amount of dog shit on my lawn (twice a week) as I used to with free running dogs, only now a human is standing there watching their dog shit on my lawn and doing NOTHING about it.
In some rural areas, it's legal to shoot dogs that are harassing your livestock.

My dog was trained in a crate from a young age. I took two weeks off from work for training.
From the very first night she came home, I spent every night for a week on a sleeping bag by her crate. I then gradually moved her crate next to our bed on the second week and I slept in our bed with her open crate by my side.
During the day, I took her for many walks to bond with her, work off some energy and train her to eliminate outdoors.
Using chairs to mark her space, I opened up more and more space for her to explore. After two weeks she only used the crate for sleep at night and went there to sleep on her own.
I then adjusted my schedule to come home three times per day from work to keep that up. I did this for the next two weeks. You can do this all in 4 weeks, even if you have an office job, but it has to be 100%.
I hired a dog walker after 4 weeks. We were living in an apartment in NYC on the 14th floor and this worked.

Never get a dog if you're going to crate it all day long. That's animal abuse. If you don't have enough money to put it in doggy day care M-F, don't get a dog.

My partner and I adopted a pomeranian from a rescue group. Before her we had another beautiful Pomeranian who dies of cancer almost seven years ago. We have never had to crate either of them.
From my (albeit limited) experience: as vivacious, fun, loving and full of life as Pomeranianians are: whenever nothing's going on in the house (we have three other rescue dogs), they find a bed or a couch, or oddly enough, a tile bathroom floor-and they "sleep like a stone."
Literally, many days I have to wake our Pomeranian up to have breakfast with the others! She sleeps so deeply. As long as you have toys, even better a compatible companion, you should have no problem.
I suppose they expend energy in their excitement when they interact with people they make up for it by long stretches throughout the day and night of a deep, deep recharging sleep: we should all be so lucky.
One piece of advice-and again I'm only basing this on my two dogs (in my heart they're more like two daughters): keep your floors well-vacuumed and remove any stray strings from rugs, or worrn out dog toys, blankets, etc. They seem to have a bit of an OCD streak and can take it upon themselves to rid imperfections by eating them.
Good luck, as with all the dogs I have been lucky enough to be a "pet parent" too, they have brought me endless joy.

As the OP posted in July I'm wondering if he/she ever got a dog.
OP, you sound like you'd be a great pet owner.

Leash Laws are the worst thing to ever happen to dogs.

I didn't get a dog, yet.
But, i'm going to meet a little guy named "Frisco", tomorrow from a local animal rescue placed called Muttville.
He's a Keeshound / Pom mix, 8 years old and is described as "quiet and happy"
Wish me luck!

Why not get a retiree? There are plenty of them looking for good homes. And some might settle for yours.

Not practical, R67; they'd need a sturdier crate.

R68. Good point. Probably harder to house train.

Get the dog...however, I agree with the poster who claims caging the dog is cruel. If the dog is trained properly, It should not be a problem being alone in your condo. Maybe you have a neighbor or friend who is home during the day who would be willing to walk your dog 2x a day for a few bucks. That would be preferable over "doggy daycare". I have been out of work for several months due to health issues, and I walk several of my neighbors dogs while theyre working...its a win/win situation...I pick up a few bucks, and Im nowhwere near as expensive as doggy daycare. One of my neighbors caged her dog, and gradually i trained her and the dog to allow him out of the cage all day...hes a different dog because of it !

I've had the dog for a week. He's an older rescue, a very cute pomeranian.
I've had to make a bunch of adjustments, but it's worth it. I've really grown to like the little fellow a lot, over the past few days.

Good for you OP, but it's true the dog doesn't need a crate if he's house trained. My dog still uses the crate she has as a puppy as a hidey-hole, but the door isn't ever closed.
