For project 3, you will build a key-value storage system complete with code for a central key-value server (with caching), client-side libraries, and all necessary networking components.
Multiple clients will be communicating with a single key-value server in a given messaging format (KVMessage) using a KVClient. Communication between the clients and the server will take place over the network through sockets (SocketServer and ServerClientHandler). The KVServer uses a ThreadPool to support concurrent operations across multiple sets in a set-associative KVCache, which is backed by a KVStore.
Figure: A single-node key-value store with three clients making simultaneous requests.
Keep up with the project clarifications thread on Piazza.
All XML serialization and deserialization must use Java XML libraries (you may want to look into javax.xml, org.w3c.dom and org.xml.sax). You are not allowed to use string concatenation for any XML-related tasks. You do not need to use these built-in libraries, but note that several tasks involve XML parsing and that your group should be consistent in library usage (use the same one across the project).
You may use external libraries by adding jar files to your lib directory. The build.xml will include all lib/*.jar files in your classpath (see testing section below for more details). We will grade your submission with your lib directory but with our own build.xml which will be similar to the one provided). You should check with your TA or on Piazza before adding jar files as we generally discourage using external libraries for anything other than XML [de]serialization as it increases the possibility of compatibility issues during grading.
Do not use any built-in thread-safe data structures unless we have provided it in our skeleton. This means that you should use the synchronized keyword or a ReentrantLock to protect non thread-safe data structures like HashMap and LinkedList.
Bulletproof your code, such that the key-value server does not crash while processing a request.
If an error occurs at any point while processing a request that prevents a successful response, a KVException should be propogated to the client. The user of KVClient should see a KVException containing a KVMessage with an error string from KVConstants.java. We will be testing using this set of error messages. You may define additional error message if you feel the need, but the provided set of errors should be sufficient for all major cases. Every member should read through KVConstants.
Implement the KVClient class, which issues requests and handles responses. To send a request to the server over the network, requests must be serialized (read: converted to XML) to be sent through a socket (java.net.Socket). Use the KVMessage functionality you will implement in task 2 to send requests and receive responses. Note: sockets are only good for sending data and receiving data once, meaning every request must be made with a new socket (and as a result, the server processes each request completely independently). Do not use the KVMessage constructor with a timeout (read about it in task 2).
You will be implementing a message class with serialization and deserialization. While parsing the InputStream of a socket, many parsers call close on the stream when finished reading. This inadvertently closes the OutputStream of the socket as well, preventing the user from sending a response through the same socket. To deal with this issue, we provide a private class, NoCloseInputStream, which you should use as appropriate. The KVMessage constructor with timeout should not be directly used in this project, as we have not given you a reason to use it yet. You will still need to implement it, as another constructor (that you should be using) calls it with a timeout of 0. Check out the Socket API for more information. You will need to implement the KVMessage(Socket sock, int timeout) constructor for project 3, but you should only directly call KVMessage(Socket sock) in project 3 since we will not worry about timeouts (there should always be a response). In project 4, you will call the timeout constructor directly.
A KVMessage must serialize to the following formats. Italicized fields should be replaced with the appropriate values.
Newlines/indentation are added only for readability on the spec.
Implement a set-associative KVCache with the second-chance eviction policy within each set. Each set in the cache will have a fixed number of entries, and evict entries (when required) using the second-chance algorithm. Note that this is not the clock algorithm, thus do not keep track of clock hands.
When get is called on a key, the reference bit of that entry is set to True.
If put is called on an existing key, the value is overwritten in the existing entry and the reference bit is set to True. The entry's position in the queue remains the same.
If put is called while the set is not full, the entry should be added to the end of the queue immediately.
If put is called when the set is full, the first entry with a False reference bit while cycling through the queue should be replaced.
There should be as many Set elements as there are sets, and within each set, there should be as many CacheEntry elements as there are entries that exist in each set. As mentioned earlier, the number of sets and the number of elements in each sets will be given in the constructor. Sets must have ids starting from 0.
All requests (get/put/del) are atomic in that they must modify the state of both the cache and the store together. Requests must be parallel across different sets (as decided by KVCache) and serial within the same set. To enforce atomicity from KVServer, obtain a lock from the KVCache for the set the key belongs to. You do not need to implement readers/writers. You should follow a write-through caching policy. If a key exists in the cache for a get request, do not access the store (imagine the store access takes a long time, even though it doesn't as provided).
Your server must be able to service requests from the client. The SocketServer class will create a serversocket (java.net.ServerSocket) that listens on a port for connections. A socket should be passed to the ServerClientHandler for each request that comes in. The ThreadPool will then execute jobs created by the handler in parallel and return responses for each request. A thread pool allows a system to service jobs concurrently, yet limiting the total number of threads spawned in the system (rather than spawning a thread per request).
The project skeleton has been pushed to your group as a GitHub repository named group<#>-kvstore. You can define additional classes and methods as you deem fit, but you must not modify the defined prototypes/interfaces. The Javadocs provided should be helpful as a guide to the implementation of each method.
The project is packaged for ant and includes a basic testing framework. The files SampleClient and SampleServer are given as examples on how to run a client and server in a standalone fashion. To use them, simply run the main method of the SampleServer class followed by the main method of the SampleClient class. EndToEndTemplate includes this sequence in JUnit setup and teardown methods. The provided tests should serve as a sanity check. You are expected to add tests to existing classes and add new classes of tests to your suite.
Note: Our ant build.xml file requires JDK 7 (javac 1.7.x). Upgrade if you do not have that installed locally. Use an inst machine if you do not want to upgrade locally.
You are welcome to use Eclipse exclusively while developing and testing. To import the project, create a new Java Project with your kvstore directory as the location of the project and click Finish. Do not import the project as an Java Project with Ant as the build.xml file we provided does not directly support the javac target.
After importing the project, you can still run ant from within Eclipse by going to Run > External Tools > External Tools Configurations. Then create a new Ant Build configuration, specifying the path of your Buildfile (build.xml). Under the Targets configuration tab, choose test [default] and save this configuration with some name like "run all tests". Similarly, you can create configurations to run only single suites of tests at a time by selecting the target runtest and supplying the -Dtest=<Testclass> (like above) as an argument on the Main configuration tab. This should be equivalent to running the JUnit tests directly. We will, however, be grading on hive with ant, so you should make sure your project passes our tests there too before you submit. Note: If you are ever unable to get the tests working locally and you notice that the local port of the client socket does not match the remote port on the server-side socket, it is possible that Cisco AnyConnect is the culprit. You should uninstall it if you don't use it.
Submit a tarball (cs162-proj3.tar.gz) of your code and tests to proj3-code by running the following command (use a hive server if you don't have ant installed).


During a period of 14 months 60 amputations, 41 below-knee and 19 above-knee, were performed on 54 patients with gangrene of the lower limb. Wound healing was evaluated in 59 amputations. A newly introduced standardized photoelectric technique for measurement of the local skin perfusion pressure (SPP) was used preoperatively, the result of which served as a guide to the selection of the proper amputation level. An overall healing rate of 90 per cent was found. Sixty-eight per cent of the amputations were performed below-knee. The healing rates for individual SPP levels were identical to those obtained with the isotope washout technique. The standardized photoelectric technique is simple and rapid and gives only negligible discomfort to the patient allowing repeated measurements at different levels on the leg.
The isotope washout technique for determination of the skin perfusion pressure (SPP) (Holstein et al, 1977) has proved a reliable method of predicting the chance of wound healing following below-knee (BK) and above-knee (AK) amputations (Holstein et al, 1979 a, b; Støckel et al, 1981). It is, however, time consuming and often painful to the patients. The photoelectric technique (Gyntelberg et al, 1974; Nielsen et al, 1973) which is rapid and noninvasive and gives negligible discomfort to the patients has recently, in a double blind study (Støckel and Brøchner-Mortensen, 1981), been shown to give results identical to those of the isotope washout technique and with the same precision.
This paper presents the clinical results of BK and AK amputations performed after introduction of the photoelectric technique as a routine method for preoperative assessment of proper amputation level.
During a period of 14 months (1.7.1980 - 31.8.1981) 60 amputations of the lower limb were performed on 54 patients (30 males and 24 females) with gangrene and/or severe ischaemic pain. Selection of amputation level was guided by preoperative determination of the local SPP. There were 41 BK and 19 AK amputations. Pertinent clinincal data on the patients appear in Table 1. Nine of the 19 patients with diabetes mellitus were treated with insulin. Duration of diabetes was more than ten years in nine patients and less than two years in three patients. Of the 44 patients a major amputation had previously been performed in 15 cases (fourteen contralaterally; one homolaterally) and in four cases bilateral or contralateral reconstructive peripheral arterial surgery (from seven months to ten years before the current amputation) had been performed.
In all cases but two the SPP was determined by the photoelectric method as the minimal external pressure required to prevent skin reddening after blanching of the skin. The technique has been described in detail (Støckel and Brøchner-Mortensen, 1981). The technical equipment consisted of a photodetector* placed against the skin and connected to a Plethysmograph*. External counter pressure, applied by means of a blood pressure cuff, was suddenly raised to suprasystolic level and then reduced to a constant, slow speed. When inflow of blood in the capillaries of the skin starts, the tracing changes direction and SPP is read as the counter pressure at this point. Because of difficulties interpreting tracings from low pressure extremities the newly introduced standardized reading technique was used in all cases. By this technique the systolic blood pressure measured indirectly by strain-gauge technique at the same level of the leg guides the reading of the photoelectric tracing. Results of the photoelectric recording are given as the mean value of two determinations. Measurements were performed at two different levels of the leg; the anterolateral side of the calf 10 cm distal to the knee joint and the anterolateral side of the thigh 10 cm proximal to the upper margin of the patella.
In one patient the standardized photoelectric method could not be used due to incompressibility of the crural arteries. The patient had bilateral BK amputations, and in both cases the SPP was determined preoperatively by the isotope washout technique (Holstein et al, 1977).
The median time interval between the SPP measurement and the operation was four days (one to nineteen days.) At calf level, amputation with a long posterior and a short anterior flap was used; simple myoplasty was used in all the AK cases. Postoperatively the wounds were loosely covered with Tube-gauze®. Sutures were removed after 22 days (12 to 42 days).
Primary healing was defined as complete healing of the wound at the end of the sixth postoperative week. Healing by second intention was defined as healing from the seventh to the end of the twelfth postoperative week possibly after minor surgical revision. Cases where reamputation was necessary were called failures.
Fisher's exact test was used.
Four patients died during hospitalization from four to 34 days after the amputation. Sutures had been removed and the wounds were completely healed in three of the patients. One patient with a BK amputation developed gas gangrene and died four days after the operation. This patient is excluded from the material.
Wound healing in 40 below-knee amputations.
Fig. 1 shows the relationship between the preoperative SPP and wound healing in the 40 cases where a BK amputation was performed. One failure in each of the SPP groups 21-30 mm Hg and 31-40 mm Hg was due to infection and haematoma in connection with necrosis. Three failures in the group 41-50 mm Hg were due to necrosis in one case and infection and haematoma in connection with necrosis in two cases. One failure in the SPP group 51-60 mm Hg was due to necrosis. There was no significant difference between diabetics and non-diabetics (P = 1.00) with respect to relative number of failures in the SPP interval 31-60 mm Hg.
Wound healing in 19 above-knee amputations (AK).
Fig. 2 shows the relationship between the preoperative SPP and wound healing in the 19 cases where an AK amputation was performed. All amputations healed primarily or by second intention.
The benefit of using a reliable objective method for the prediction of proper amputation level is shown by a reduction of the number of reamputations and/or by an increase of the BK/AK ratio compared to the results obtained when selection of amputation level is based on clinical judgement alone (Moore, 1973; Christensen, 1976; Kostuik et al, 1976).
Holstein et al, (1979 a, b) showed that there is a strong positive correlation between the SPP and the chance of wound healing following BK and AK amputations. The recent finding (Støckel and Brøchner-Mortensen, 1981) that the standardized photoelectric technique gives results identical to those of the isotope washout technique and that the reproducibility of the two methods was equal suggested that the healing rate in a clinical study of BK and AK amputations would be of comparable size in the individual SPP groups. This comparison is given in Table 2 showing no significant difference between the two methods in any of the SPP groups studied. From an ethical point of view comparison of clinical results following amputations with SPP below 20 mm Hg is not possible as the chance of healing at these low pressures is minimal (Holstein et al, 1979 a, b). At borderline SPP values, especially, clinical factors such as the surgical technique, the postoperative treatment and the general condition of the patient can influence the chance of wound healing. As previously described by others (Termansen 1977) a significantly higher BK/AK ratio was found in the diabetic group compared to non-diabetics (P = 0.019) indicating that patients with diabetes as a group are better candidates for BK amputations than non-diabetics.
The results of the present study indicate that the standardized photoelectric technique can replace the cumbersome isotope washout technique as a routine method for selection of proper amputation level. The method is simple and rapid and gives only negligible discomfort to the patient; repeated measurements at different levels of the leg are therefore possible. The standardized photoelectric technique is usable in most patients including patients with oedema and diabetes mellitus. The isotope washout technique will, however, still be the method of choice in those rare cases where a systolic blood pressure cannot be obtained or in cases where it is not possible to get a technically satisfactory photoelectric tracing because of extremely thin skin at the measure point. In the present study it was thus necessary to use the isotope washout technique in 2 cases (same patient) corresponding to 3 per cent of all investigations.

We arrived in Mysore on Wednesday afternoon and settled into the Hotel Palace Plaza near the Mysore Palace. Rita shopped at the Handicraft Emporium while I visited a barbershop and then walked around town.
On the next morning (Thursday Thanksgiving), we took a local bus to the top of Chamundi Hill to visit the Sri Chamundeswari Temple, the Godly Museum, and to enjoy the view from the hill. Rita returned to town for more shopping while I walked down, then back up, the 1100 or so stairs to the bottom of the hill, visiting the carved stone statue of Nandi, Shiva's bull, on the way. The rest of the day was spent on report writing and Internet cafe visiting for me, window shopping and resting for Rita.
On Friday morning, we boarded a tour bus headed for Ooty. The tour was to be a round trip from and to Mysore, but we took all of our baggage with the plan of leaving the tour in Ooty. We were picked up at 7:30AM, and then driven from hotel to hotel as the tour picked up other customers. Many of them were not ready, so the bus returned to some hotels a second and third time. In one case, we returned a third time and then waited an additional twenty minutes for the family to get ready, with a good deal of grumbling from some of the on-time passengers. We finally left the city after 9AM. We had a similar experience with the Goa beach tour—at least an hour on the bus running here and there before the actual tour started. I guess this may be the norm, to be treated as an opportunity to see more of the city.
Anyway, the bus headed south on some pretty rough roads. At one point, for some distance, the pavement consisted of a one-lane ribbon of battered concrete with pot-holed asphalt shoulders. Buses and trucks zipped down the center of the road toward oncoming vehicles, moving aside at the last minute to pass oncoming traffic.
We drove through Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary but stuck to the main road (as all vehicles except special park vans were required to do), and I'm sure that the tigers, panthers, and other exotic animals stay well away from the traffic. We did see some monkeys and some chital (spotted deer) who waited to be fed near the side of the road.
As we approached Udhagamandalam (known as Ooty), we began to climb through a series of switchbacks on the side of the mountains known as the Niligiri Hills. The road was often very narrow, and at one point we maneuvered past a truck with less than an inch to spare. We passed what looked like an outing of the Enfield Motorcycle Club stopped beside the road, but they soon overtook us, passing us in ones and twos. We reached the town of Ooty, 2200m in elevation, at around 1PM and were dropped off at the Nilgiri Woodlands Hotel.
Ooty has some of the most beautiful scenery I have seen in India—bright green terraced hillsides planted in various crops, including a lot of tea. My experience has been that landscape pictures never do justice to the real thing, but I have taken and included a few anyway. Soon after we arrived, I walked down to the train station to check on our train to Mettupalayam and learned that a recent landslide had blocked the tracks, and the train was only running as far as Coonoor.
We found our room to be cold and the bed uncomfortable. The double bed was made up with single-size linen and blankets, so there were two bottom sheets with a gap in the middle, and one top sheet that went down only to our knees. The blankets overlapped in the middle, but parted company once we got in. Rita was not feeling well and, after a cold night, was ready to leave Ooty immediately. But when she saw that it was a nice, warm day, she agreed to stay until mid-afternoon. The plan was to take the bus to Coimbatore, where we would try to move forward our train reservation to Cochi and head there sometime Sunday.
I walked up into the hills behind our hotel and found some tremendous views, so after lunch we hired an autorickshaw to take Rita and me up the hill to Bishops Down so that Rita could also share the view. The autorickshaw turned out to be on its last legs and overheated repeatedly on the way up, which was OK because I wanted to stop and let Rita admire the view from the many lookout points along the way.
We hired a different autorickshaw to take us and our luggage to the bus station. The plan was to take the bus to Coimbatore, where we would try to move forward our train reservation to Cochi and head there sometime Sunday.
The road down from Ooty has many switchbacks and tremendous views. Part way down, we passed a tourist bus that had become stuck on a hairpin turn when the back of the bus hit the pavement. Our bus driver was able to get by, despite the tight quarters. The road paralleled the train tracks for part of the way, so we got some idea of what we were missing by not riding the toy train.
We arrived at Coimbatore about dark and took a room at the Park Inn Hotel near the train station. Early on Sunday morning, I tried to change our tickets and learned that it was too late to make reservations for either of the trains leaving during the day. We decided to stick with our reserved 12:45AM departure rather than try standby on the earlier trains. There was nothing we were dying to see in Coimbatore, so we spent the day working on this and other reports, and watching Florida election coverage on CNN. Our check-out time was 6:45PM (most Indian hotels have 24-hour checkout—the room is yours for 24 hours from the time you arrived; after that, you owe another day's rent), so we spent the evening at an Internet cafe, at a restaurant, and finally at the train station fighting off the mosquitoes. By 1AM, we were asleep in our bunks and on the way to Cochin.
The next report will be from the state of Kerala, Rita's birthplace.

Eternals: Richard Madden Excited to Reunite with GoT Co-Star Kit Harington
September 6, 2019 Mr. Greg Universe
Though the two had started on Game of Thrones together, Richard Madden ended up getting written off the show way before Kit Harington. The two are set to make a reunion with Marvel's Eternals, and Madden has expressed his excitement to reunite with Harington for the film.
Taking to Entertainment Weekly at the D23 Expo, Madden was asked about a reunion with Harington in the film, and he said:
"It's brilliant… It's been about 10 years since we've worked together, I think. So we've moved on a bit onto different things, so I'm really excited to get back on set."
With Harington staying on with Game of Thrones till the finale, Eternals is actually his next big project after GoT. Madden is a different case though, as he's starred in many other different projects since Robb Stark; his biggest role recently was probably that of David in Bodyguard, but there are also rumors going around that he's being considered to be the next James Bond after Daniel Craig.
Then again, with Madden joining Eternals, it's likely he won't have time to sign up for another big franchise, but then again, we don't know if his character Ikaris will make it to the end of the movie. Going back to Harington, he's been cast as the Black Knight. We don't know how the two will meet-up, but everyone (including the fans) are eager for a reunion between the Stark boys.
"The story of 'THE ETERNALS' is set millions of years ago when the cosmic beings known as the Celestials genetically experimented on humans, creating the super-powered individuals as well as more villainous off-shoots known as Deviants. The two groups went on to battle each other throughout history to see which would eventually become the ultimate race. The story involves the love story between Ikaris, a man fueled by cosmic energy, and Sersi, who relishes moving amongst humans."
Marvel's Eternals is set to hit theaters Nov. 6, 2020.

At right is a photo taken on the set of the pilot episode of "Strange Paradise" - it features Floor Director Bob Wilson setting up the shot of Quito (Kurt Scheigel) removing dry ice from a bucket to be used to keep Jean Paul's wife Erica frozen until the cryonics equipment arrived.
The Vignettes feature once again in our archives as we bring you an excerpt of the voiceover describing Patrick Stanley, better known to Strange Paradise viewers as Tim Stanton. While Patrick's profession remained the same, his name was changed as well as the plot concerning his involvement with Beryl Forbes - the original character of a voodoo priestess who eventually evolved into the character of Vangie Abbott.
This week's archive feature is a photo of the original conjure doll prop created for the pilot episode of "Strange Paradise" - This doll was hand carved and the clothing was hand sewn. Once the pilot went to series, a new conjure was created and this one was not used again.
At right is a page from Aternoon TV Magainze for January 1970, featuring an article on Strange paradise that Focuses on the show as a possible replacement for Dark Shadows. What is most interesting about the article is the cast list on the lower left, which still lists Rev. Matt Dawson by his original character name of Matthew Dennis.


The Kingdom of Bahrain is an island nation in the Arabian Gulf, situated between the east coast of Saudi Arabia and the Qatar peninsula. It is one of the six Gulf Cooperation Council nations. Bahrain, meaning 'two seas' in Arabic, is the largest island of the archipelago. It is one of the most densely populated countries in the Middle East, with 1.3 million inhabitants. The vast majority of the population lives and works in the capital, Manama.
Bahrain was the first country in the Gulf to discover oil in the 1930s, and was also the first to establish female education. In the 1970s, the country became a regional hub for banking and finance and today the financial services sector remains a key driver of the economy, with more than 100 institutions headquartered in the country.
Bahrain is connected to the region's largest and most populous nation, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, via a 25 km causeway, making it a popular weekend destination for many Saudi Arabians.
Bahrain is the smallest country in the Arab World. It is an archipelago of 33 islands.

The Sun: Mistrial declared in bribery case
Posted June 1, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Joe Nelson and Mike Cruz
A mistrial has been declared in the trial of two Los Angeles-area businessmen accused of bribing a San Bernardino County supervisor's former chief of staff.
The nine-woman, three-man jury concluded deliberations today in San Bernardino Superior Court, announcing about 1:30 p.m. that they could not reach a unanimous verdict, court officials said. The jury reported to the court that further deliberation would not break the stalemate.
In Counts 1 and 2, the bribery charges, the jury voted 6-6 and 9-3, in favor of guilty. In Count 3, the attempted bribery charge, the jury voted 7-5 in favor of guilty.
The Kouladjians are scheduled to return to court Aug. 19 for a pretrial conference before Judge Michael Smith.

Not surprising considering the intellectual difficulties facing many Berdoo jurors. Plus, when you factor in that bribes have become common place in county government…

I don't care what anyone says, ol Bob Page's ass is stinging just a little after those two attorney's got done with him.
How does one who works high within the structure of this County paint himself as a pinnacle of ethics and escape the rath of a mud slinging attorney who knows how to ask the tuff questions?
Guess we will again watch and see the results.

Anonymous, you got that right, where does this leave Mikey and his Public Incompetence Unit (PIU) now?
Hear that the Devil is cutting DA Mikey's budget, maybe the PIU will go "bye-bye" with this budget crisis?
Time to bring in the big dogs (oh, they're already here?!) with the AG/ HUD-OIG/ FBI, who are capable of getting convictions in the first place, instead of playing Mikey's game of "selected prostitution" of authority and public resources and wasting precious taxpayer funds.

Home Voices Himbara Shoots Himself In The Foot By Praising Biraro In Isolation
Himbara Shoots Himself In The Foot By Praising Biraro In Isolation
by Ignatius R. Kabagambe October 15, 2021
written by Ignatius R. Kabagambe October 15, 2021
David Himbara
Here I go for Himbara David again, ahead of the elders. For once it is not to shoot at him. This time it is rather to help remove a bullet he shot himself in his own foot. Wait when he will plant it in his own head. Point of no return.
Following the appointment of Mr. Alex Kamuhire by Cabinet as the new Auditor General, Himbara rose to the story, making a mess of it. In the process, he confirmed to be what many people have said of him before – a disgrace. In this story, Himbara disgraced himself five times. He wrote on his blog that "Kagame Retires Biraro, Rwanda's Extraordinarily Courageous Auditor General, who Persistently Exposed Deep-Rooted Ruling Party Corruption." Below I enumerate.
Disgrace number one: As someone who prides himself in doing research, how could Himbara have failed to conduct a very simple search for basic information? Mr. Obadiah has not been retired. It is his second and final term as Rwanda's Auditor General that has ended. Himbara could have found out by cross-checking with Law No. 79/2013 of 11/09/2013 Determining the Mission, Organization, and Functioning of the Office of the Auditor General of State Finances. In paragraph three of Article 13, it stipulates that "The Auditor General and Deputy Auditor-General shall be appointed for a five (5)-year term renewable only once." Mr. Biraro was appointed Auditor General from 1st June 2011, succeeding his predecessor Ms. Kamagaju Evelyn, the pioneer head of the esteemed office.
We all know that Himbara's performance in math as attested to by his F9 Ordinary Level score at Ndejje Senior Secondary School in central Uganda is as unhelpful as that. But as one who later recovered to somehow become a professor of something with economics somewhere therein, the calculation should have been very simple. Merely subtracting 2011 from 2021 is all it required of him. Doing so would have left him with 10 years, which is equal to the two five-year terms Mr. Biraro has already served. That is simple arithmetic that did not require a calculator.
Disgrace number two: The Rwanda Patriotic Party which Himbara wants the world to believe is corrupt, I will remind him is the one which in the first place introduced the Office of Auditor General way back on 4th June 1998. It was around the same period that the Rwanda Revenue Authority was established too. Prior to this time, there were no mechanisms of corporate governance and good governance in Rwanda worthy of mention. The country had absolutely nothing in terms of measuring, directing, or controlling how public institutions conducted public affairs, including the key component of usage of public finances.
Disgrace number three: Commending an Extraordinarily Courageous Biraro Obadiah without viewing in a similar light the President who appointed him in 2011 and five years later went on to renew his term in 2016 is an act of sheer folly. By attempting to praise Biraro in isolation, Himbara inadvertently gave credit to the government which always provides the right environment for the Office of Auditor General to function independently.
Disgrace number four: Having in his professorial head a part that admits RPF brought good governance to the country as we know it in the modern-day, and in the same head have another part which accuses the very Party of Deep-Rooted Corruption, indeed can only make sense to the disgraced.
Disgrace number five: Singling out Mr. Biraro on one hand for deserved praise after depicting high standards of professional conduct during his long tenure as Auditor General is appropriate. However, on the other hand, to think the accolades are exclusive to him and not shared evenly among the policy-making organs, appointing authority, and the institution he worked for, is severe inadequacy in thoughtfulness. This is like loving the server of food but cruelly chastising the cook and the person who bought the food. Done on intention can backfire, and it did.
I will sign this off with a line that you are now familiar with about Himbara – addiction. Because Himbara's new addiction is smearing President Kagame, quite often he ends up smearing himself instead. His daily task is to find some decision taken by the government and either quote it out of context, deliberately misinterpret, or totally distort it for ulterior motive made in RNC and sponsored by Uganda. When these bad faith actions boomerang on him, the whole thing can strangely look like an auto-mudslinging. There is a proverb for it in Kinyarwanda. INKUBISI…

More than 16,000 signals are analyzed by a service called Sift, which generates a "Sift score" ranging from 1 - 100. The score is used to flag devices, credit cards and accounts that a vendor may want to block based on a person or entity's overall "trustworthiness" score, according to a company spokeswoman.
From the Sift website: "Each time we get an event -- be it a page view or an API event -- we extract features related to those events and compute the Sift Score. These features are then weighed based on fraud we've seen both on your site and within our global network, and determine a user's Score. There are features that can negatively impact a Score as well as ones which have a positive impact."
The system is similar to a credit score - except there's no way to find out your own Sift score.
In order to optimize scoring "Sift regularly evaluates the performance of our models and tries to minimize bias and variance in order to maximize accuracy," according to a spokeswoman.
"While we don't perform audits of our customers' systems for bias, we enable the organizations that use our platform to have as much visibility as possible into the decision trees, models or data that were used to reach a decision," according to SecureAuth Vice President and chief security architect Stephen Cox. "In some cases, we may not be fully aware of the means by which our services and products are being used within a customer's environment."
While Sift and SecureAuth strive for accuracy, sometimes it's difficult to decipher authentic purchasing behavior from fraud.
"Sometimes your best customers and your worst customers look the same," said Jacqueline Hart, head of trust and safety at Patreon - a site used by artists and creators to allow benefactors to support them. "You can have someone come in and say I want to pledge $10,000 and they're either a fraudster or an amazing patron of the arts," Hart added.
If an account is rejected due to its Sift score, Patreon directs the benefactor to the company's trust and safety team. "It's an important way for us to find out if there are any false positives from the Sift score and reinstate the account if it shouldn't have been flagged as high risk," said Hart.
While Sift judges whether or not one can be trusted, there's no file with your name on it that it can produce for review - because it doesn't need your name to analyze your behavior, according to the report - which seems like total BS.
"Our customers will send us events like 'account created,' 'profile photo uploaded,' 'someone sent a message,' 'review written,' 'an item was added to shopping cart," says Sift CEO Jason Tan.
"I would argue that in our desire to protect privacy, we have to be careful, because are we going to make it impossible for the good guys to perform the necessary function of security?" asks Anshu Sharma - co-founder of Clearedin, a startup which helps companies avoid falling victim to email phishing attacks.
His solution? Transparency. When a company rejects a potential customer based on their Sift score, for example, it should explain why - even if that exposes how the scoring system works.


Our team helps patients in and around Beverly Hills, CA maintain the healthiest teeth and gums possible with advanced dental hygiene techniques, including routine cleanings and evaluations aimed at identifying and correcting issues in their earliest stages.
The American Dental Association recommends adults and children see the dentist every six months for routine cleanings and exams. Having your teeth cleaned professionally is one of the most important steps you can take to keep your gums and your teeth as healthy as possible.
What happens during a routine cleaning appointment?
Your cleaning appointment will begin with a visual exam of your teeth and gums to look for visually-apparent signs of disease. Each tooth will be carefully cleaned using special instruments and a mildly abrasive cleaning agent designed to remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar while also polishing the tooth surface. The cleaning will address all the tooth surfaces, including the spaces between your teeth and the gum line. Once the cleaning is finished, the hygienist will be able to provide you with tips on how to brush and floss more effectively between visits, based on the areas where plaque and tartar buildup are the heaviest. Dental x-rays may also be taken after a cleaning to provide information about your tooth roots and jaw bones.
Does dental hygiene treat gum disease?
Yes, routine cleanings are critically important for preventing gum disease, helping to remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar before they have a chance to migrate to the lower portions of the teeth. Plus, the cleaning provides an opportunity for the hygienist to look for areas that aren't being properly cleaned, where gum disease is most likely to occur, so you can focus more time on cleaning those areas between visits.
What if my cleaning appointment reveals I have gum disease?
If you have mild to moderate disease, it may be treated with more frequent regular cleanings. But for more advanced disease, in-depth cleaning procedures called root planing and scaling may be prescribed.

She obtained her Ph.D. in physics in 2008 from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), which was followed by a two-year postdoctoral fellowship.
Areas of expertise and current scientific interests
Her research interests revolve around modeling and computing classical wave propagation in complex systems, with a particular focus on homogenization schemes of complex heterogeneous media, metamaterials and Dirac and Dirac-like cones in periodic systems. Her extended work brought advancements in theoretical and design knowledge on metamaterial, photonic and phononic crystals as long as waves in random media.
Why phononincs?
Over the past decade, the field has seen rapid growth, starting from electromagnetic metamaterials to acoustic metamaterials and elastic metamaterials. Wu's contribution to the field advances in theoretical exploration and numerical simulation of classical wave propagation in complex systems to design the new type of elastic metamaterial and advanced modeling for new developments in electronics and telecommunication systems. Her most recent work also focuses on seismic modeling for risk prevention.

Top 10 Interesting Facts About Celina Powell
Disadvantages Of Social Media Influencers On Youth
If you use a different social media platform, there is a good chance that you are familiar with a woman whose name is Celina Powell. This is because there is a good likelihood that you know something about her.
Currently, Celina Powell net worth gives her a chance to continue her lifestyle.
Powell will turn 26 years old in 2022, having entered this world on July 13, 1995, in Denver, Colorado, in the United States.

Celina Powell's way of life is probably considered disagreeable by a large number of individuals. The Instagram model, however, does not show that she is concerned about either her reputation or what her critics think of her.
That's most likely due to the fact that she has a succession of high-profile relationships that bring in a lot of money (whether they actually occur or are all made-up.)
Celina Powell has about $1.5 million net worth.
Powell has an account on OnlyFans, which she uses to share her sexual recordings with a number of other personas. A monthly subscription to the account can be purchased for $29.25.
This includes her tools, money, and pay. Her main source of income is her job as an Instagram model. Powell has been able to collect good luck through the different ways she makes money but she prefers to live an unassuming life.
It would appear that the famous celebrity earns sufficient money to support the luxurious lifestyle that she leads. Although she has not discussed her salary in a public forum, it is safe to assume that her career and several jobs bring in a respectable income for her.
Name: Celina Powell
Profession: Instagram model popular for her provocative photos
Birth Place: Denver, Colorado in the USA
Powell's parents raised her in Denver, C.O. As per one online claim, they tried to find out more about her family but there isn't much information out there that they could find.
So, we still don't know much about who Powell's parents are. No one knows if she has any family either.

Before Celina decided to give up her modeling career, she attained her initial fame on Instagram. She was constantly moving her images, and as a result, she generally got well known due to her claimed relationships with famous professionals such as Snoop Dogg, Offset, and Fetty Wap, amongst others.
As a result of her accusations that the rapper known as Offset cheated on his girlfriend Cardi B with her in 2017, she has been exposed as a dishonest person, and she has been called out as a liar.
If you look at this woman, you'll be thinking that she is just a normal model who exposes her luxurious life on social media platforms, but we have to go deep.
To continue, she also accused him of being the one who got her pregnant and asked for a payment of $50,000 so that she could have the fetus removed. It was then discovered that the entire pregnancy was a fake and that it had been created in order to get money from Offset.
In any case, the fame that she gained as a result of her lies made it easier for her to conclude her demonstration by transitioning into a new career. Celina became a highly after model after being discovered by a modeling scout who happened onto her Instagram account by accident.
The scout invited Celina to participate in her first photoshoot, following which she was signed with a famous modeling agency in Denver.
It seems that Celina's tricks to catch famous people don't always involve actual sexual encounters. The Instagram model might just start talking to a celebrity in a sexually suggestive way.
Powell starts FaceTime conversations with her victims and says things that shouldn't be heard by other people. She then tries to blackmail her victims by posting screenshots of their conversations on social media sites like Instagram and Twitter.
why I really went to prison| life update :)
Powell did not follow the rules of her probation in that case, according to the local police. She missed multiple drug and alcohol tests, among other things. Powell was finally caught on May 1 after she missed a court date. She was sentenced in Broomfield County on May 12.
Powell was arrested by Miami-Dade police in March 2021 for making an illegal right turn. This happened in Miami, Florida.
She got away with that offense with just a warning, but when the police found out she was driving with a suspended license, they took her into custody. So, she was charged with driving often with a license that was revoked and taken to a local jail.
She was also taken into custody by bounty hunters in the year 2018, and she owed more than $61,000 in unpaid bonds at the time of her detention. According to TMZ, the arrest was made for a number of charges ranging from theft and attempting to escape police to traffic violations.
In addition to that, she has a YouTube channel with self-titled videos that has over 6 million views and 110,000 subscribers as of the 7th of June, 2018.

Her Instagram account has over 125 thousand followers.
She communicated with her phony pregnancy news through virtual entertainment stages.
She previously stated that she had messed with Fetty Wap, Chief Keef, and Offset.
Powell requested $50,000 in exchange for ending the pregnancy, according to a letter.
Sneak denied the accusation.
She plans to return to the topic in his upcoming TV show, 'Clout Chasers.'
She has also been linked to cases of cyberbullying.
She has a few tattoos all over her body.
She had a panther tattoo on her shoulder and a butterfly tattoo on her bosom.
She joined YouTube on June 6, 2018.
Influencers may get minors to act more socially responsible or healthier but they may also show bad examples of smoking, drinking, or even doing something illegal. Influencer content can also have an effect on a minor's mental health, materialism, and body satisfaction.
Dark Side Of Being An Influencer
Most influencers are self-employed, which means their income isn't always stable and they don't have the protections that come with a permanent job, like sick pay and paid time off.
Also, like Celina Powell, sometimes, influencers don't know what they're doing in life because of their too much fame, they want more attention so they build issues that will get the attention of many.
In the influencer industry, the risks of being self-employed are made worse by the lack of industry standards and the lack of pay transparency.
You can make pretty good money as an influencer. You can also get some attention and praise from the people who follow you. But if you aren't true to yourself, it may be hard to build your personal brand into a long-term, successful one.
What Did Snoop Say About Celina Powell?
Powell also targeted Snoop Dogg in July 2018, claiming that he had cheated on his wife Shante Broadus with her. She made this accusation against Snoop Dogg.
The woman, who is originally from Denver, Colorado, made her allegations in a video that was released on YouTube. She said that a multi-platinum legend took her to Los Angeles, had sex with her, and snorted cocaine off of her body.
What Is Celina Powell's Ethnicity?
Where does Celina Powell hail from, and what country does she call her home? Celina is an American who was born in Colorado and currently resides in Denver. She is of Puerto Rican descent.
Who Is Celina Powell, Aaron Carter?
Powell is said to have dated child actor Aaron Carter throughout the summer of 2018, as evidenced by the fact that Powell posted several intimate photographs of the couple together on her Instagram account.
Celina captioned one of the pictures with the phrase "All smiles when I'm with you love," In addition to the other, she wrote, "My Lil Babyy." It is unclear how long the couple dated each other.
Is Being An Influencer Stressful?
Being an influencer can be stressful and take up a lot of time, but it can also lead to a lot of great opportunities and, yes, even free stuff.
Powell had a hard time as a child. She didn't want to go to school, which was the main reason. And the second reason was that Powell always put herself in all kinds of trouble and then couldn't get out.
Powell dated a lot of guys as she got older. Sometimes she dated more than two guys at the same time. But despite all of this, Celina's first love was modeling.

In this paper, we propose a new Association Rule Mining algorithm for Classification (ARMC). Our algorithm extracts the set of rules, specific to each class, using a fuzzy approach to select the items and does not require the user to provide thresholds.
Topics Covered: Mining Object, Spatial, Multimedia, Text, and Web Data, Aggregation and Approximation in Spatial and Multimedia Data Generalization, Generalization of Object Identifiers and Class/Subclass Hierarchies, Generalization of Class Composition Hierarchies, Construction and Mining of Object Cubes etc.
One problem in large-scale analysis of this sort is that erroneous measurements may slip by, due to insufficient attention. Much of the phonetic variation to documented herein is quite extreme, much more extreme than what is found in monitored ``laboratory'' speech.
OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) is a methodology to provide end users with access to large amounts of data in an intuitive and rapid manner to assist with deductions based on investigative reasoning.
This paper discusses the application of evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) to association rule mining. We focus our attention especially on classification rule mining where the consequent part of each rule is a class label. First we briefly explain evolutionary multiobjective classification rule mining techniques.
Data warehousing embraces technology of integrating data from multiple distributed data sources and using that data in annotated and aggregated form to support business decision-making and enterprise management.
Generally, data mining (sometimes called data or knowledge discovery) is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information - information that can be used to increase revenue, cuts costs, or both. Data mining software is one of a number of analytical tools for analyzing data.
Data mining is a powerful new technology with great potential to help companies focus on the most important information in the data they have collected about the behavior of their customers and potential customers. It discovers information within the data that queries and reports can't effectively reveal.
We consider the problem of determining the structure of clustered data, without prior knowledge of the number of clusters or any other information about their composition. Data are represented by a mixture model in which each component corresponds to a different cluster.
The task of inferring a set of classes and class descriptions most likely to explain a given data set can be placed on a firm theoretical foundation using Bayesian statistics. Within this framework, and using various mathematical and algorithmic approximations, the Auto Class system searches for the most probable classifications, automatically choosing the number of classes and complexity of class descriptions.

Woodward's 'Serious Sin'
Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:
The Washington Post's ombudsman says star reporter Bob Woodward committed a "deeply serious sin" by failing to tell his editors that an administration source told him the identity of CIA analyst Valerie Plame and then commenting on the investigation on TV. Deborah Howell says the Post should exercise more oversight on Woodward, writing that he "comes and goes as he pleases...he reports only to executive editor Len Downie. [And] He is allowed to keep juicy stories to himself until his latest book is unveiled," adding that Woodward "has to operate under the rules that govern the rest of the staff — even if he's rich and famous."
'Back To Normal'?
The French ambassador to the U.S. says the country is "back to normal" after the wave of violence that swept Muslim communities in some 300 cities and towns. What's more, Jean-David Levitte says, "the word 'riot' is a bit too strong" to describe the disturbances... saying the unrest that destroyed thousands of cars and left dozens of police officers injured can't compare with the Los Angeles riots of 1992 that left 55 people dead.
Levitte explains that the uprising by Muslim teens was "not about the role of Islam in France," saying, "We know that jihadists are recruiting teenagers, but this has nothing to do with the general unrest."
PC Prizes
The Global Language Monitor has released its list of the top ten most outrageous examples of political correctness for 2005. Coming in at No. 9: an Anglican Church in Wales, which changed the lyrics of the 500-year-old Christmas carol, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" to "God Rest Ye Merry Persons." At No. 6 is the UK teachers' union, which considered scrapping the word "fail" in favor of "deferred success" to bolster students' self esteem.
And at the top of the list is the BBC, which refused to use the word "terrorist" to describe the suicide bombers who attacked London in July, instead calling them "misguided criminals."
Holiday Blues
Massachusetts shoppers may want to take extra care preparing Thanksgiving dinner this year. The state has warned the upscale Whole Foods supermarket chain to keep its doors closed on the holiday or face criminal charges under the state's centuries-old "blue laws." While the laws require all stores to remain closed on major holidays, some Whole Foods stores in the state had opened on Thanksgiving in the past, after obtaining special permits from the local government.
But the Massachusetts attorney general says the law will be enforced this holiday season and anyone burning their Thanksgiving turkey will just have to eat it.

From somewhere had come the rumor that he might go blind. In the dressing-room Lester Patrick was putting on Chabot's pads. The crowd, which had been waiting for forty-five minutes, gave him a great hand as he skated out. Many of the people who had come to cheer the Maroons were rooting for the Rangers now. They were paying a personal tribute to Patrick who, a star defence man twenty years ago, out of condition and out of practice, had nerve enough to take the cage for his own team. They cheered him for the sporty thing he was doing, for being a good loser. What chance had a middle-aged man, with his eye and hand disconnected by lack of practice and his nerves shaken by the strain of the series, by the acci- dent, by his own decision, and by half an hour spent in angry argument- what chance did he have of stopping the shots of the best team in Canada? Next morning two Montreal papers spoke of Patrick's goal-tending as "miraculous." The word was not an exaggeration. There have been in- stances in civil as well as in sporting history in which people, under the im- pulse of strong excitement" have done things that with normal conditions would have been impossible. Patrick tended goal better than he ever did it twenty years ago. B EFORE the series started an in- cident happened that showed what some of the citizens of Montreal think of the Maroons. The Montreal Daily News had put up a trophy for a puck-carrying race between Siebert, of the Maroons, and Howie Morenz, of the Canadiens. Morenz beat Siebert and in due time was presented with the cup. On it Was a formal inscription: "To Howarth Morenz for beating Babe Siebert in speed trials." And underneath the donors had written "Thank God." Before the last game a gentleman, speaking at a dinner in the St. Denis Club, said that no matter whether the Rangers won or lost, they had taken the mora] championship. And the next night Frank Boucher, playing the greatest game of his life, scored the two goals that gave his team a more tangible honor-the Stanley Cup and the hockey championship of the world. -N.

A federal appeals court on Saturday denied an American Indian tribe's emergency request to stop the pipeline from becoming operational.
WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court on Saturday rejected a last-minute request to block the Dakota Access Pipeline, just a few days before the company building it says it could be ready to handle a flow of oil.
In a one-page order, a three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit said that the Native American tribe trying to block the pipeline failed to satisfy the "stringent requirements" necessary for an immediate injunction.
The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe earlier this week filed the request with the DC Circuit seeking emergency action. A federal district judge last week denied a request for an immediate injunction halting progress on the pipeline, prompting the rush to appeal.
According to the latest report filed on March 13 in court by Dakota Access LLC, the company building the pipeline, oil could be introduced into the pipeline on March 20, at the earliest.
A federal district judge in Washington has required the company to file weekly reports on the status of construction. The company's next update is due March 20.
The Cheyenne tribe is arguing that the flow of oil through the pipeline under Lake Oahe in North Dakota would desecrate water used by the tribe in sacred ceremonies. According to the tribe, the oil represents a black snake prophesied to cause destruction.
The tribe contends that the US Army Corps of Engineers' decision to grant the easement needed for the privately-built pipeline to go through federal lands violated the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which generally prohibits the government from burdening a person's religious exercise.
The action by the DC Circuit doesn't end the legal challenges to the pipeline. The Cheyenne tribe could ask a full sitting of the DC Circuit to reconsider the panel's decision, or it could take the issue to the US Supreme Court.
There are also other plaintiffs with different claims still pending against the pipeline. Other Native American tribes are arguing that the US Army Corps of Engineers' actions violated federal environmental and historic preservation laws and ran afoul of trust obligations to protect tribe treaty rights.
In December, the Army Corps of Engineers announced that it would not grant an easement for the pipeline to cross Lake Oahe, saying it would consider whether an environmental review was needed. President Trump reversed course, ordering the Army Corps to expedite consideration of the easement request. The Army announced on Feb. 7 that it would grant the easement.
Attached to Saturday's order, DC Circuit Judge Patricia Millett wrote in a separate concurring statement that she wasn't expressing an opinion about the district judge's findings on the merits of the tribe's religious freedom claim, but concluded that the tribe failed to clear several other legal hurdles for the court to enter an injunction now.
Judges Brett Kavanaugh and Robert Wilkins were also on the order denying the injunction request.

*Get data from a table in defined format from all specified connection strings.

*Connect to variety of databases types.

*I imagined it would look like this
interface IDataConnectorModule
{
Model PullData()
}
All I need to do when I'll support new database type to implement the interface for new class lets say, OracleConnector, MySQLConnector,... and then use them in runtime to retrieve data.

*What is the best API's to achieve this? Taking the performance into consideration.

*ODBC, OLE DB or whatever?

A: Depending on which database you are connecting you should use different API.
For Sql Server, juste use the SQLConnection with SQL Adapter. It is the fastest for SQL Server.
I have never used ODP.Net but as it is developped by Oracle I would use this one for querying Oracle Database.
ODBC and OLEdb both adds a layer that is going to slow your queries. So use as much "specialized" connectors to your database. This will be more efficient.
