Revolution 2020 was a particularly interesting read from Chetan Bhagat. In this novel, the timeline spans across 3 main periods, his childhood then on to his teenage years and finally his adulthood in Varanasi.
The book starts by introducing Chetan Bhagat as a Guest-of-Honor (GOH) to a commemorative event, where he gets introduced to Gopal the Director of the University GangaTech. One thing leads to another, and a reluctant Chetan Bhagat sits in for a drink at Gopal’s place.  However, Gopal after drinking too much collapses. And in the hospital he begins his narration of his life.Gopal’s childhood days are one that an ordinary school student can relate to. Though from a poor family, he has friends Raghav and Aarti who can be considered decently rich. This period mainly focuses on how the friendship blossoms between the trio, while concentrating more on Gopal and Aarti.
Gopal’s teenage years exhibit his profound love for Aarti, mainly understood by his thoughts. However, when Gopal proposes, Aarti refuses to reciprocate his love for her, citing that she is not ready for a relationship yet. Meanwhile, Gopal flunks both his AIEEE and IIT JEE exams. This causes some upset since his good friend Raghav manages to become one of the top scorers in the district. After his father insists that he goes to Kota to join a tuition to mould him well for a 2nd time try in both the exams.
While in Kota, Gopal learns of a shocking relationship between Aarti and Raghav. Moreover, he also fails to get the required ranking to get into the University a 2nd time. Gopal’s father dies soon after, unable to take in his son’s failure again. After this part, Gopal is left to be an orphan. His relatives start pressurising him to sell his ancestral land under dispute for a meagre sum of money. Feeling lost, and unable to think of any solution to move forward in life, Gopal barely drags himself. While searching for a cheap private University, Gopal gets introduced to the MLA, Shukla.
From then, it seems like a turning point in Gopal’s life. He comes under the protective showers of the MLA. Motivated by the money that a private University can reek in, the MLA promises to settle the land dispute and have Gopal to run the private University (named GangaTech) in which he will be a ‘trustee’. Raghav, on the other hand, takes a contrasting route by forsaking his Engineering seat to pursue journalism, which he claims to be his passion.
Soon, Raghav begins publishing the MLA’s wrongdoings which leads to strained ties between Raghav and Gopal after disputes. Meanwhile, Gopal and Aarti get to become closer. After some time and persuasion, it is shown that Aarti is in love with Gopal. MLA Shukla is soon forced to resign after his wrongdoings go viral in Raghav’s newspaper named ‘Revolution 2020’.
But will Gopal eventually win over Aarti? Or will it remain as Raghav and Aarti?
That is the crust of the story. However, be ready for a rollercoaster ride as further twists and turns are revealed in the end.
While it was a good read, it was certainly quite difficult to accept the climax. Once again, Chetan Bhagat has produced a finely written story, with extra spices, making it ready for the big screens.

public void startDispatchingItemsChanged()
public void flagActionItems()
Items are considered for inclusion in the order specified within the menu. There is a limit of mMaxActionItems as a total count, optionally including the overflow menu button itself. This is a soft limit; if an item shares a group ID with an item previously included as an action item, the new item will stay with its group and become an action item itself even if it breaks the max item count limit. This is done to limit the conceptual complexity of the items presented within an action bar. Only a few unrelated concepts should be presented to the user in this space, and groups are treated as a single concept.
There is also a hard limit of consumed measurable space: mActionWidthLimit. This limit may be broken by a single item that exceeds the remaining space, but no further items may be added. If an item that is part of a group cannot fit within the remaining measured width, the entire group will be demoted to overflow. This is done to ensure room for navigation and other affordances in the action bar as well as reduce general UI clutter.
The space freed by demoting a full group cannot be consumed by future menu items. Once items begin to overflow, all future items become overflow items as well. This is to avoid inadvertent reordering that may break the app's intended design.

'3BlackChicks Review...'
BABY BOY (2001) Rated R; running time 126 minutes Genre: Drama Seen at: Jack Lokes' Celebration Cinema (Lansing, Michigan) Official site: http://www.spe.sony.com/movies/babyboy/ IMDB site: http://us.imdb.com/Details?0255819 Written by: John Singleton Directed by: John Singleton Cast: Tyrese Gibson, Taraji P. Henson, A.J. Johnson, Ving Rhames, Omar Gooding, Tamara LaSeon Bass, Snoop Dogg
Review Copyright Rose Cooper, 2001 Review URL: http://www.3blackchicks.com/bamsbabyboy.html
The very first scene of BABY BOY - featuring the movie's lead character, Jody (Tyrese Gibson), floating in his mother's womb (as a grown "man", mind you), and speaking on the dysfunctional psyche of Black Maleness these days - evoked a feeling of extreme sadness in me, at the current state of Black Men In America.
Good thing I know that We Are Not A Monolith.
The Story (WARNING: **spoilers contained below**) John Singleton returns to The Hood, this time with a tale about boys not quite ready to be Real Men - and the girls who enable their dysfunctional behavior.
Jody, unemployed and not really looking to change that, is a certified Mama's Boy, afraid to cut the umbilical cord and leave his mother (A.J. Johnson) to live her own life. Normal behavior for a young boy, perhaps - but Jody has two children of his own, by two different babymamas: his current girlfriend Yvette (Taraji P. Henson), who has still-a-child Issues of her own to deal with, and Peanut (Tamara LaSeon Bass), who Jody still hangs onto as backup, just in case. "Unstable Females" aside, Jody's got his boy Sweet Pea (Omar Gooding) to watch his back - and Jody needs all the help he can get.
But change may soon be out of Jody's control: on the one hand, his mama's new boyfriend Melvin (Ving Rhames), who Jody sees as a thuggish threat, is moving in - which means Jody might have to move out against his wishes. And on the other hand, Yvette's old jailbird boyfriend Rodney (Snoop Dogg) is due to be released from prison Real Soon Now. Uh oh...
The Upshot: "We Are Not A Monolith". In the nearly 200 reviews I've written for 3BC, I've included that statement in almost all of them. But (besides the explanation I've also included in each of the reviews with a "Black Factor" section) what does that statement mean?
For starters, it means that the extreme sadness I felt during BABY BOY need not be taken as a personal burden. To put it bluntly, I don't know Those Kneegrows. Well, that's not exactly true. I used to know them. I used to be their neighbor, and if I had stayed any longer, I might have *become* them. I wasn't saved from that fate until I moved away from Detroit and into college and beyond, exercising my own version of "White Flight". And even *that's* not quite true. Some of Those Kneegrows are members of my family. If not my immediate family, then certainly, my extended family. For if I know nothing else about Being Black In America, I know that no matter where you move, no matter how much money you make, no matter how deep in denial you are, ultimately, you cannot hide from your Blackness. If you don't acknowledge it for yourself, then *somebody* in this society will acknowledge it for you. This, then, is why that extreme sadness does now, and always will, belong to me - just as the extreme joy We tend to display when one of Our Own does good, equally belongs to me.
Which brings me back to John Singleton. Y'all remember him, right? The young brother who, ten years ago, won wide acclaim for his breakthrough movie on (one type of) life in the ghetto? Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that BABY BOY is a followup to (though not specifically a continuance of) Singleton's BOYZ N THE HOOD. But the followup, as often happens, is not as strong as that from which it originated.
My biggest problem with BABY BOY is that it had a distinct Been There, Done That, Got The Ghetto Flava, feel to it. It possesses neither the raw energy of its direct predecessor, nor the lyrical groove of the other third of Singleton's Ghetto Trilogy, POETIC JUSTICE - comparisons that, though perhaps not strictly fair, are still justified by Singleton's own wishes, since he himself has grouped these three films together in the past. With not much new to add to the genre, one is left to wonder why Singleton has repeated himself (aside from obvious financial gains. Not That There's Anything Wrong With That).
Likewise, the young talent here is not quite up to the task of their "Boyz" counterparts. Tyrese Gibson as Jody was fine [uh, as in "okay"...though he's not bad on the eyes either], as was Taraji P. Henson as Yvette, one of Jody's babymamas. But Snoop Dogg was just too skinny - both in physique and in acting talent - to make much of an impression on me. And as a direct "Boyz" to "Baby" comparison, Cuba Gooding's brother Omar had neither Cuba's charm, nor Cuba's "Boyz" character Tre Styles' "fish-out-of-water" feel. Omar relied too much on a growl and a grunt to see him through. Honestly, I can't say that I liked *any* of this lot, far as Important Movies go. Cube, Gooding, and Chestnut, they weren't.
None of which to say that BABY BOY isn't worth a look-see. If not as forcefully as before, Singleton does still have much of import to say on the subject of (one aspect of) Black Ghetto Life, both as narrator and as filmmaker; and some of his directorial stylings are simply brilliant. On the acting front, Ving Rhames continues his habit of providing powerful performances (worthy of his "Boyz" counterpart, the magnificent Laurence Fishburne) in whatever he's in [and I ain't gonna front; bru'man has a beautiful butt]. Rhames is matched well here by A.J. Johnson, in an equally strong performance that may unfortunately go unnoticed. And driven by a strong soundtrack, BABY BOY provides unique delights all its own.
My best advice is, go for the history behind BABY BOY, if you must; but take this film own merits.
The "Black Factor" [ObDisclaimer: We Are Not A Monolith]:
[I apologize in advance, for this will be my longest "Black Factor" to date.]
"Ghetto Wednesday". A loaded phrase, when you think about it. I suppose, in the scheme of things, that it is a small price to pay for Our films to become noticed. Some might say there's not a price being paid at all; merely a strange - and benign - coincidence. And still others might say that it is Our fault that such a phenomena exists at all; if there is any harm, the harm is on Our heads. I suppose all of that could be so, and in fact, I know that some of it *is* so. But try as I might to ignore it, the perceived existence of Ghetto Wednesday bothers me. It bothers me mightily.
It probably hasn't occurred to many people to look at it very closely (and I am *still* looking, in hopes that it *is* all just an ugly coincidence, not an Evil Plot conjured up to cause me grief); but there is a pattern that I and some others have noticed, for "Black-themed" movies to be released on Wednesdays instead of the customary Fridays on which most American movies are released. The problem with this theory? Two, actually: not all "Black-themed" movies are released on Wednesday, and not all Wednesday releases are Black movies, "themed", "lead", or what have you (recent examples of the latter include STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE, MISSION: IMPLAUSABLE TOO, and THE MATRIX).
I have some theories on that, too. To address the first, it occurs to me (and some of those "others") that it's not merely "Black-themed" movies that are released on Wednesdays; more specifically, Black movies with a (perceived?) high "violence" content, are the ones generally delegated...oh, let me say it plain - segregated - to Ghetto Wednesday. As for the second, the answer lies in the different reasons behind Wednesday releases. For movies like "Matrix", "Star Wars", and the like, the idea is that a Wednesday release will help to add to the boffo box office that is expected of them (or that, at least, might be helped by a jumpstart on the weekend). Ghetto Wednesday releases, however, have quite a different origin: harking back to a period in which "violent" Black movies like NEW JACK CITY were released (on Friday) and "riots" erupted in some theaters in primarily Black neighborhoods, a Wednesday release of these kinds of movies, so the mindset goes, could possibly help to stem some of the initial violent response from folks having time on their hands on a weekend, by showing them first on a less-free weekday. "Ludicrous!", you say? Perhaps. But still, the pattern exists; and I'd really like to be proven wrong about it.
In the end, Ghetto Wednesday could just be a figment of my (and others') vivid imagination; more likely, it could be a harmless way of Keeping The Peace, with some Great Father Figure looking out for all of us, Black, White, and Otherwise. I suppose it shouldn't bother me so; other than its built-in segregation (of movies that I tend not to like anyway), what's the downside? Then again, I'm sure some folks are comforted by Zero Tolerance policies at their children's school. You know - the policies that all but convict school children of being Little Monsters for having some of the same kinds of thoughts, notions, and (how dare they!) ideas that most of us did when *we* were in school. Non-sequitur? You might think so. But I see things like this as being on the same continuum. And it bothers me.
Bammer's Bottom Line: I'm glad John Singleton got his "Ghetto Trilogy" filmed and on the shelf; getting it out of his system, hopefully, means that he's read'ta Move On, show the film world what else he's got up his sleeve. The question remains, though: will We support his Bigger Better efforts, or are We just blowin' smoke (again)?
BABY BOY (rating: flashing yellowlight): Here's hoping that Singleton will now focus on the Men amongst Us, and leave the Boyz behind.

Islamic HeresiesWith all due respect to everyone involved, you can't throw a rock into a crowd of Muslims without hitting someone whom all the other Muslims consider a heretic.Every single person practicing Islam in the world today is a heretic in the eyes of at least one other such person. The Western mindset may not be properly equipped to understand the scope and breadth of how Islam functions. While primarily Christian cultures do have diverse views of Christianity, the West has slowly moved toward a "live and let live" attitude that is dramatically different from how Islam is defined in the East. The major distinction is that Christian sects (such as Catholicism, Mormonism, Anglican, etc.) are considered to be different "religions" that co-exist peacefully but do not really overlap. Conversely, Islam is predicated around absolutes -- "There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his Prophet." The general notion is Islam is monolithic — virtually anyone accepting that statement is considered a Muslim — but in practice, Islam is incredibly diverse. The first major split in Islam took place about five seconds after Mohammed died. Because he had made no plans for succession, Mohammed's earliest followers disagreed over who would lead the Islamic nation after his death. Some, known as Shi'a Ali (the party of Ali), believed that Mohammed's son-in-law and his subsequent descendants should inherit the job (more on this below). The majority view (eventually known as Sunni) called for an elected leader, the Khalifa, or simply the Caliph. Originally a political division, the conflict between Shi'a (also called Shi'ites) and mainstream Muslims, eventually known as Sunni, slowly became a religious schism over the rightful leadership of Islam, and subsidiary issues having to do with somewhat more arcane legal distinctions. The Shi'a and Sunni headings encompass the vast majority of Muslims in the world. Some members of each branch consider the other heretic, but others see the distinctions as purely political. The two major schools of Islam are intermittently at war with each other (more so when there's no external enemy to focus on, but that doesn't always stop them). However, the Shi'a-Sunni conflict is only the tip of a very large iceberg of disputes. In addition to a handful of completely separate sects, both Shi'a and Sunni communities are divided into thousands of smaller sub-sects and cults with a shockingly diverse array of beliefs. After Shi'a and Sunni, the two best known Islamic sects are the Sufis and the Ismailis, both of which are considered heretical by many mainstream Muslims. Sufism is a mystical branch of Islam which emphasizes prayer and transcendent rituals such as ecstatic dance ("whirling dervishes" are Sufis). Like the Christian Gnostics, Sufis believe that Allah reveals himself to individuals on a personal level. This notion doesn't sit will with the authoritarian hierarchies of mainstream Islam. One famous tenth century Sufi teacher was crucified for heresy. The most famous Sufi of all was the poet Rumi, who preached religious tolerance and wrote classic tomes of poetry with decidedly homoerotic overtones. Rumi was branded a heretic but managed to avoid execution. Some Sunnis accept Sufism as a legitimate part of Islam, but fundamentalist sects such as Wahhabism don't. But then Wahhabism, a sub-sect of Sunni that demands a literal interpretation of the Koran, is also considered heretical by some other Sunnis. And Wahhabbism is much more recent, only dating back to the 18th century, whereas Sufism can trace its origins as a formally structured order to no later than the 12th century, follwing a tradition to that goes as far back as the time of Muhammad himself. On the other side of the fence, Ismailism is a sub-sect of Shi'a Islam. Ismailism also tends toward the mystical. Its modern incarnation is decidedly pacifist and extremely tolerant of other religions. That's today, of course. In the past, the Ismailis gave birth to their own sub-sects, including one of the most famous heresies in Islam, the Nizaris -- aka the Assassins. The Assassins were born in the 11th century and survived in meaningful numbers for a couple hundred years. Assassins were Shi'a Muslims who worked rather aggressively to protect the interests of Ali's descendants. The Assassins practiced a strict regimen of initiations and degrees, often structured more like a secret society than a religion. They were famous for opposing (or possibly colluding with) the Knights Templar. Initiates were trained as deep undercover agents who were trained to kill on command, without regard for personal safety. They were based in a nearly impregnable castle in Alamut, located in modern-day Iran. Those who died in the line of duty were considered martyrs and guaranteed safe passage to heaven. According to legend, the Assassins used sophisticated mind control to reinforce this idea. It's commonly believed that the Assassins dosed its followers with hashish to manipulate them with drug-induced visions of paradise, but the historical record is somewhat debatable. The Assassins arose in the middle of a major crisis in Islam, which would lead centuries later to a whole slew of new heresies. Chief among them is the notion of the Madhi, the Islamic version of the Messiah. Around the end of the seventh century, the descendants of Ali had been attacked and some number of them were murdered. Since the Shi'a believe the descendants of Ali are the rightful leaders of Islam, this obviously presented a problem. It wasn't clear whether there was a child survivor of the murderous attack. Some believed that the heir to Ali had been hidden by Allah, or by courageous Shi'a supporters. This hidden heir became known as the Madhi, and his role would evolve over time. Others threw their support behind different relatives of Ali whose bloodlines were less than ideal. The Ismailis (and later the Assassins) supported a genealogy of descendants that ran through Isma'il. In an effort to prevent another murderous attack, Isma'il's heirs kept themselves hidden. While this was effective at preventing their murders, it also opened the door to a lot of competing claims from people who felt they were the most legitimate heirs to Ali, and thus to the legacy of Muhammad himself. Alternatively, the Ismailis believed that the line of Ali continued through Isma'il and his descendants, with a rightful Caliph whose hereditary title is Aga Khan. (The current Aga Khan is a Harvard graduate who lives in Switzerland.) The Assassins supported one of the branches of a split in Isma'il's family tree, Nizar, as Caliph, the political leader of Islam. Ismaili daggers and fortresses were put to work on Nizar's behalf, but when he and his descendants were eventually killed, the Assassins conveniently claimed to have miraculously rescued one of his children to preserve the Caliphate under their auspices and direct control. Despite this incredible stroke of good luck, the sect mostly tapered off and died by the Middle Ages. Another sect, known as the Twelvers, is now more or less the mainstream Shi'a sect, representing most of the population of Iran. Bypassing Isma'il's claim, the Twelvers believe they believe that Mohammed's line had 12 legitimate successors (Imams) until the last, who was hidden (or "occulted") by Allah and will return one day to claim his place as the rightful leader of Islam. The idea of the Madhi spread eventually to some Sunni circles as well, although it doesn't mean exactly the same thing to Sunnis that it does to Shi'a. Although there is still a strong tinge of apocalyptism to the concept, the Madhi in Sunni Islam is considered to be the last of a series of eight renewers of Islam. The emergence of a Madhi approved by both Sunni- and Shi'a would therefore present the startling prospect of possibly healing the schism and reuniting the vast body of Muslims under one theological banner. Realistically, the chances of that happening are just about zero. But that doesn't stop people from dreaming, often dangerously. In 1979, an armed band of extremists seized Mecca and attempted to overthrow the ruling Saudi monarchy. Assisted by a certain Mahrous bin Laden and the Muslim Brotherhood, the extremists followed a self-styled Madhi who entered Mecca during the assault, toting a gun. After a couple of weeks of standoff, the Saudis allegedly called in foreign soldiers for help, resulting in a theologically dubious attack to reclaim Mecca. Whatever else the assault proved, it did demonstrate that the Madhi was less than he claimed to be. He was killed in the attack. If you're thinking that Mahrous sounds familiar, you may have heard of his younger brother, Osama bin Laden, and therein lies a murky tale of the future of Islamic heresy. The sectarian nature of Islam demands a certain amount of internicene tolerance. Nevertheless, there are some things that can really get you into trouble. For instance, a Tuscon Sunni imam named Rashed Khalifa was murdered over his claim that two tiny verses of the Koran were invalid. Another way to cause big problems is Madhi-ism. Many outside observers of Islam (i.e., infidels) believe that bin Laden may be working toward an ultimate theological goal in which he is "revealed" to be Madhi at a dramatic moment. (If you've been reading this and wondering how Islamic heresy really affects your life, then pay attention, because we just got to that part.) If bin Laden successfully assumed the role of Madhi, and if he did so with an eye toward reconciliating the branches of Islam, one of two things would happen (to reduce things to the most simplistic outcome). Either he'd be roundly condemned as a heretic and subsequently shunned by the vast majority of the Islamic community (which already has its doubts about him), or he'd instantly become leader of a superpower without borders, commanding the loyalty of millions or even billions of believers around the world. Which outcome you get depends on how much time and effort is put into crafting some sort of a historical claim to the lineage of Ali, and a number of other extremely complex factors. It would be a very, very tall order to pull it off, but the right kind of claim could even unify Shi'a and Sunni in a political-religious bloc covering a third of the world, including its richest oil fields. Additionally, if bin Laden did win widespread acceptance as Madhi, it would likely be intepreted as a major hallmark of the apocalypse by many Muslims. Since al Qaeda is already made up of guys willing to blow themselves up for al Qaeda even without this complication, well, you can just imagine the mayhem that would ensue. Take one part September 11, and one part World War II. Add the collapse of the oil economy, and a dash of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Stir vigorously and heat until boiling...

How to: Unify Libraries Across Many Installations of iTunes
About may of last year, I built a server for myself, in hopes of centralizing all the storage drives of my house to one constantly on box and simplifying access to files across the four computers on my network. And sure enough, a couple of hours and hundred dollars later I had myself a kick-arse server rig which housed a RAID1 array for my personal use as well as 3 other random storage drives on which the members of my family could store their music, videos and pictures.
While having my music on a network shares was convient because I could access it from any machine on my LAN without running server software on my main box, I quickly found a flaw in my setup just a couple of months after buying it. Sure, all my music files where save on my server, but the iTunes library XML files were still stored on my local disk, which made re-adding all my music to iTunes after an OS reinstallation unbeleivable long (reading iD3’s on 50+ gigs of music isn’t what I would call quick), and reading the music from another installation of iTunes on another computer, say a home theatre PC, impossible.
While iTunes allows the user to choose it’s “iTunes Music” folder, it does not supply such an option for the library files. Ever since, I’ve been looking for a way to get my single library to work with many iTunes installations. Sure, there are some how-tos out there, but even the most popular solutions aren’t elegant and require third party software. Wouldn’t it be great if Windows, like linux, would allow us to bind symbolic links from one folder to another? Oh wait… there is such a function on Windows Vista. mklink!
This somewhat obscure command makes everything easier. With mklink, you can simply create a “dummy” iTunes folder in your My Documents folders, and have that folder to point to whatever the heck you want, the latter including network drives. Here’s how it’s done:
- First, you need to create a folder on your remote server that will be taking the place of the iTunes folder where all the XML files and album art is stored. Under XP, this is usually C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes and under Vista it would look something like C:\Users\Username\Music\iTunes. When that's done, transfer what's in your "iTunes" folder to whatever remote path you are using. In my case, my music files (the "iTunes Music" folder) was R:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music, so as to not mess around too much with the directory structure I decided to create a folder at R:\Music\sync which would act as the target folder.
- Next up, you need to transfer all the stuff in your iTunes folder to the target folder, because you will need to delete the actual iTunes folder in order to create the dummy folder. Once the transfer is done, delete the iTunes folder.
- Lastly, create the dummy folder from the command line using the mklink command. The syntax is pretty simple for this command:
mklink C:\dummy\folder D:\target\folder
So in my case, the actual command I used was this:mklink C:\Users\Administrator\Music\iTunes R:\Music\sync
There are many types of links that you can create via this command, but for our us a symbolic link is enough.
Once that was done, my C:\Users\Administrator\Music\iTunes folder effectively pointed to R:\Music\sync as intended. iTunes blindly took what XML files were in the destination folder, and loaded my library on first try.
From then on, syncing other instances of iTunes with the current library is a walk in the park: make symbolic links from the iTunes folders of other machines to the same mounted network share, and voila! The other installations of iTunes will read into the library files thinking it is there own, giving you instant access to your music as long as the “iTunes Music” folder path is the same on all the machines. Changes to the library will also be written instantaneously on the unified files, making the changes available on all the other machines.
Before you start unifying your libraries however, there are additional things to take into consideration. Firstly, I would pre-configure the installations of iTunes as I do not know if certain aspects of the configuration (iTunes’s Music folder, adding songs to iTunes’s Music folder when added to library) are set in the registry or in the XML files. Also, keep in mind that you can not open the same file for read/write operations two times simultaneously, which means that opening two iTunes on the same library at the same time will most probably brick your library files if any changes are made.
Despite it’s limitations, this method is the simplest way I found of getting many instances of iTunes to share a same library. No waiting for dropbox or other automated backup software to do it’s thing, no maintaining of two sets of library files, just easy access to your music from anywhere on your lan. Obviously, the biggest bummer about mklink is that it only runs under Vista… but hey, if you don’t have Vista yet, you should really try it out, and if you don’t feel like trying it out, then the very interesting Windows 7 which is right out of bend is your next alternative. Sorry XP users!
Enjoy!

Nomad Enterprise offering aimed for Q1-Q2 next year.
Supported and governed by HashiCorp
Hashiconf US '15 had ~300 attendees
Hashiconf EU '16 had ~320 attendees
HashiConf US '16 had ~ 500 attendees
Nomad is a single binary, both for clients and servers, and requires no external services for coordination or storage.
Host Discovery
Gossip protocol - Serf is used
Docker multi-host networking and Swarmkit use Serf, too
Servers advertise full set of Nomad servers to clients via heartbeats every 30 seconds
Creating federated clusters is simple
Service Discovery
Nomad integrates with Consul to provide service discovery and monitoring.
optimistically concurrent
enabling all servers to participate in scheduling decisions which increases the total throughput and reduces latency
three scheduler types used when creating jobs:
service, batch and system
nomad plan point-in-time-view of what Nomad will do
Task drivers
Used by Nomad clients to execute a task and provide resource isolation.
By having extensible task drivers are important for flexibility to support a broad set of workloads.
Does not currently support pluggable task drivers,
Have to iImplement task driver interface and compile Nomad binary.
Nodes
Drain allocations on a running node.
integrates with tools like Packer, Consul, and Terraform to support building artifacts, service discovery, monitoring and capacity management.
Applications
Log rotation (stderr and stdout)
no log forward s upport , yet
Rolling updates (via the `update` block in the job specification).
Nodes
Applications
currently http, tcp and script
In the future Nomad will add support for more Consul checks.
nomad alloc-status reports actual resource utilization
Networking
Dynamic ports are allocated in a range from 20000 to 60000.
Shared IP address with Node
Load-Balancing
Consul provides DNS-based load-balancing
distributed and highly available, using both leader election and state replication to provide availability in the face of failures.
Built for managing multiple clusters / cluster federation.
Outside of scheduler, comparatively less sophisticated
Young project
Less relative momentum
Less relative adoption
Less extensible / pluggable
aka
Swarmkit or Swarm mode
Swarm is simple and easy to setup.
Responsible for the clustering and scheduling aspects of orchestration.
Originally an imperative system, now declarative
Swarm’s architecture is not complex as those of Kubernetes and Mesos
Written in Go, Swarm is lightweight, modular and extensible
Docker Swarm 1.11 (Standalone)
Docker Swarm Mode 1.12 (Swarmkit)
Contributions:
Standalone: ~3,000 commits, 12 core maintainers (140 contributors)
Swarmkit: ~2,000 commits, 12 core maintainers (40 contributors)
~250 Docker meetups worldwide
Production-ready:
Standalone announced ~12 months ago (Nov 2015)
Swarmkit announced ~3 month ago (July 2016)
used in the formation of clusters by the Manager to discover for Nodes (hosts).
Like Nomad, uses Hashicorp's go MemDB for storing cluster state
Pull model - where worker checks-in with the Manager
Rate Control - of checks-in with Manager may be controlled at Manager - add jitter
Workers don't need to know which Manager is active; Follower Managers will redirect Workers to Leader
Embedded DNS and round robin load-balancing
Services are a new concept
Swarm’s scheduler is pluggable
Swarm scheduling is a combination of strategies and filters/constraint:
Random, Binpack
Spread*
Plugin?
Filters
container constraints (affinity, dependency, port) are defined as environment variables in the specification file
node constraints (health, constraint) must be specified when starting the docker daemon and define which nodes a container may be scheduled on.
Swarm Mode only supports Spread
Ability to remove batteries is a strength for Swarm:
Pluggable scheduler
Pluggable network driver
Pluggable distributed K/V store
Docker container engine runtime-only
Pluggable authorization (in docker engine)*
Nodes
Nodes may be Active, Drained and Paused
Manager weights are used to drain or pause Managers
Manual swarm manager and worker updates
Applications
Rolling updates now supported
--update-delay
--update-parallelism
--update-failure-action
Nodes
Swarm monitors the availability and resource usage of nodes within the cluster
Applications
Swarm and Docker’s multi-host networking are simpatico
provides for user-defined overlay networks that are micro-segmentable
uses a gossip protocol for quick convergence of neighbor table
facilitates container name resolution via embedded DNS server (previously via etc/hosts)
You may bring your own network driver
Load-balancing based on IPVS
expose Service's port externally
L4 load-balancer; cluster-wide port publishing
Mesh routing
send a request to any one of the nodes and it will be routed automatically
send a request to any one of the nodes and it will be internally load balanced
Not yet...
tracking toward 1.13
Managers may be deployed in a highly-available configuration
Active/Standby - only one active Leader at-a-time
Maintain odd number of managers
Rescheduling upon node failure
No r
ebalancing upon node addition to the cluster
Does not support multiple failure isolation regions or federation
although, with caveats, federation is possible.
Scaling swarm to 1,000 AWS nodes and 50,000 containers
Suitable for orchestrating a combination of infrastructure containers
Has only recently added capabilities falling into the application bucket
Swarm is a young project
advanced features forthcoming
natural expectation of caveats in functionality
No rebalancing, autoscaling or monitoring, yet
Only schedules Docker containers, not containers using other specifications.
Does not schedule VMs or non-containerized processes
Does not provide support for batch jobs
Need separate load-balancer for overlapping ingress ports
While dependency and affinity filters are available, Swarm does not provide the ability to enforce scheduling of two containers onto the same host or not at all.
Filters facilitate sidecar pattern. No “pod” concept.
Swarm works. Swarm is simple and easy to deploy.
1.12 eliminated need for much, but not all third-party software
Facilitates earlier stages of adoption by organizations viewing containers as faster VMs
now with built-in functionality for applications
Swarm is easy to extend, if can already know Docker APIs, you can customize Swarm
Still modular, but has stepped back here.
Moving very fast; eliminating gaps quickly.
an opinionated framework for building distributed systems
or as its tagline states "an open source system for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of applications."
Written in Go, Kubernetes is lightweight, modular and extensible
considered a third generation container orchestrator led by Google, Red Hat and others.
bakes in load-balancing, scale, volumes, deployments, secret management and cross-cluster federated services among other features.
Declaratively, opinionated with many key features included
Kubernetes is young (about two years old)
Announced as production-ready 15 months ago (July 2015)
Project currently has over 1,000 commits per month (~38,000 total)
made by about 100 (862 total) Kubernauts (Kubernetes enthusiasts)
~5,000 commits made in 1.3 release (1.4 is latest)
Under the governance of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation
Robust set of documentation and ~90 meetups
Host Discovery
by default, the node agent (kubelet) is configured to register itself with the master (API server)
automating the joining of new hosts to the cluster
Service Discovery
Two primary modes of finding a Service
DNS
SkyDNS is deployed as a cluster add-on
environment variables
environment variables are used as a simple way of providing compatibility with Docker links-style networking
By default, scheduling is handled by kube-scheduler.
Pluggable
Selection criteria used by kube-scheduler to identify the best-fit node is defined by policy:
Predicates (node resources and characteristics):
PodFitPorts , PodFitsResources, NoDiskConflict , MatchNodeSelector, HostName , ServiceAffinit, LabelsPresence
Priorities (weighted strategies used to identify “best fit” node):
LeastRequestedPriority, BalancedResourceAllocation, ServiceSpreadingPriority, EqualPriority
One of Kubernetes strengths its pluggable architecture and it being an extensible platform
Choice of:
database for service discovery or network driver
container runtime
users may choose to run Docker with Rocket containers
Cluster add-ons
optional system components that implement a cluster feature (e.g. DNS, logging, etc.)
shipped with the Kubernetes binaries and are considered an inherent part of the Kubernetes clusters
Applications
Deployment objects automate deploying and rolling updating applications.
Support for rolling back deployments
Kubernetes Components
Consistently backwards compatible
Upgrading the Kubernetes components and hosts is done via shell script
Host maintenance - mark the node as unschedulable.
existing pods are vacated from the node
prevents new pods from being scheduled on the node
Nodes
Failures - actively monitors the health of nodes within the cluster
via Node Controller
Resources - usage monitoring leverages a combination of open source components:
cAdvisor, Heapster, InfluxDB, Grafana
Applications
three types of user-defined application health-checks and uses the Kubelet agent as the the health check monitor
HTTP Health Checks, Container Exec, TCP Socket
Cluster-level Logging
collect logs which persist beyond the lifetime of the pod’s container images or the lifetime of the pod or even cluster
standard output and standard error output of each container can be ingested using a Fluentd agent running on each node
…enter the Pod
atomic unit of scheduling
flat networking with each pod receiving an IP address
no NAT required, port conflicts localized
intra-pod communication via localhost
Load-Balancing
Services provide inherent load-balancing via kube-proxy:
runs on each node of a Kubernetes cluster
reflects services as defined in the Kubernetes API
supports simple TCP/UDP forwarding and round-robin and Docker-links-based service IP:PORT mapping.
Secrets are used by container in a pod either:
mounted as data volumes
exposed as environment variables
None of the pod’s containers will start until all the pod’s volumes are mounted.
Individual secrets are limited to 1MB in size.
Each master component may be deployed in a highly-available configuration.
Active/Standby configuration
Federated clusters / multi-region deployments
Scale
v1.2 support for 1,000 node clusters
v1.3 supports 2,000 node clusters
Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (via Replication Controllers).
Cluster Autoscaling (if you're running on GCE with AWS support is coming soon).
Only runs containerized applications
For those familiar with Docker-only, Kubernetes requires understanding of new concepts
Powerful frameworks with more moving pieces beget complicated cluster deployment and management.
Lightweight graphical user interface
Does not provide as sophisticated techniques for resource utilization as Mesos
Kubernetes can schedule docker or rkt containers
Inherently opinionated w/functionality built-in.
relatively easy to change its opinion
little to no third-party software needed
builds in many application-level concepts and services (petsets, jobsets, daemonsets, application packages / charts, etc.)
advanced storage/volume management
project has most momentum
project is arguably most extensible
thorough project documentation
Supports multi-tenancy
Multi-master, cross-cluster federation, robust logging & metrics aggregation
Mesos is a distributed systems kernel
stitches together many different machines into a logical computer
Mesos has been around the longest (launched in 2009)
and is arguably the most stable, with highest (proven) scale currently
Mesos is written in C++
with Java, Python and C++ APIs
Marathon as a Framework
Marathon is one of a number of frameworks (Chronos and Aurora other examples) that may be run on top of Mesos
Frameworks have a scheduler and executor. Schedulers get resource offers. Executors run tasks.
Marathon is written in Scala
MesosCon 2015 in Seattle had 700 attendees
up from 262 attendees in 2014
Mesos had 78 contributors
Marathon had 217 contributors
Under the governance of Apache Foundation
Mesos is used by Twitter, AirBnb, eBay, Apple, Cisco, Yodle
Marathon is used by Verizon and Samsung
Mesos-DNS generates an SRV record for each Mesos task
including Marathon application instances
Marathon will ensure that all dynamically assigned service ports are unique
Mesos-DNS is particularly useful when:
apps are launched through multiple frameworks (not just Marathon)
you are using an IP-per-container solution like Project Calico
you use random host port assignments in Marathon
Two level scheduler
First level scheduling happens at mesos master based on allocation policy , which decides which framework get resources.
Second level scheduling happens at Framework scheduler , which decides what tasks to execute.
Provide reservations, over-subscriptions and preemption.
Frameworks
multiple available
may run multiple frameworks
Modules
extend inner workings of Mesos by creating and using shared libraries that are loaded on demand
many types of Modules
Replacement, Isolator, Allocator, Authentication, Hook, Anonymous
Nodes
- Mesos has maintenance mode
Mesos backwards compatible from v1.0 forward
Marathon ?
Applications
Marathon can be instructed to deploy containers based on that component using a blue/green strategy
where old and new versions co-exist for a time.
Nodes
Master tracks a set of statistics and metrics to monitor resource usage
Applications
support for health checks (HTTP and TCP)
an event stream that can be integrated with load-balancers or for analyzing metrics
Networking
An IP per Container
No longer share the node's IP
Helps remove port conflicts
Enables 3rd party network drivers
Container Network Interface (CNI) isolator with MesosContainerizer
Load-Balancing
Marathon offers two TCP/HTTP proxies
A simple shell script and a more complex one called marathon-lb that has more features.
Pluggable (e.g. Traefic for load-balancing)
Not yet.
Only supported by Enterprise DC/OS
A strength of Mesos’s architecture
requires masters to form a quorum using ZooKeeper (point of failure)
only one Active (Leader) master at-a-time in Mesos and Marathon
Scale is a strong suit for Mesos. TBD for Marathon.
Great at asynchronous jobs. High availability built-in.
Referred to as the “golden standard” by Solomon Hykes, Docker CTO.
Universal Containerizer
abstract away from docker, rkt, kurma?, runc, appc
Can run multiple frameworks, including Kubernetes and Swarm.
Supports multi-tenancy.
Good for Big Data shops and job / task-oriented workloads.
Good for mixed workloads and with data-locality policies
Mesos is powerful and scalable, battle-tested
Good for multiple large things you need to do 10,000+ node cluster system
Marathon UI is young, but promising.
Still needs 3rd party tools
Marathon interface could be more Docker friendly (hard to get at volumes and registry)
May need a dedicated infrastructure IT team
an overly complex solution for small deployments
A high-level perspective of the container orchestrator spectrum .

Documentations
When it comes to culture, people almost always choose to observe customs and practices in several different ways - and sometimes, they do not at all. For many people, their culture and religion are an essential part of their lives. While for others, religion and culture are only mildly present in their lives and for some it is not present at all. In either case, the scenario of a positive or negative viewpoint of said culture is always at stake. A demographic study conducted by Pew Research has shown that more than eight in ten people identify with a religious group and 5.8 billion adults and children consider themselves religiously affiliated. With this in mind, the question of how far do one’s culture and religion affect their day-to-day lives rose. In this day and age, especially in a city like Dubai, the majority of the population are immigrants. Almost every day someone meets someone new from a different nationality, age, religion, and gender.
For this project, I initially began playing around by drawing different forms of illustrations on different topics for each week and linking them to websites that educate the audience about the topic dedicated for that particular week, however after learning how to connect to twitter to Arduino, I was inspired to use a form of social media as an education tool rather than an entertainment tool.
My initial idea revolved around Re-cultured. A remote control dedicated to educating people about one another. The remote includes four categories, gender, age, nationality, and religion. However, the way it works is different than how a normal remote control would. For example, once you choose your gender. You will be redirected to a documentary about a different one, so if you are a man then you will watch a documentary about feminism. If you are a woman then you will watch a documentary about transgender men. But, it does not stop there.
My project also delves into the realm of music, especially with age and nationality. The reason being is, with age, older generations are not open to what recent generations enjoy listening to and vice versa. With nationality, the aim is to teach one another about the different traditional music each country has to offer.
However, I wanted to move away from just connecting it to television since, everything is available online. Everyone is constantly glued to their phones. So, what if instead of constantly receiving tweets of what someone is constantly up to they would receive documentaries, educational videos or traditional music from different cultures.
so this is what I have done: Explanation with visuals

Speaking to over 400 headteachers, college principals and early years professionals, Sir Michael Wilshaw praised the achievements of great education leaders over recent decades and set out how changes to Ofsted inspection are designed to support further improvement in the system.
The event, in London, is the first of 8 conferences around the country designed to share the details of the new inspection model with the sector.
From September, Ofsted will inspect good schools and further education and skills providers once every 3 years under a new short inspection model. Inspectors will start from a premise that the school or provider is still good and focus on ensuring that those standards are being maintained. They will check that leaders have identified key areas of concern and that they have the capacity to address them.
These short inspections will typically last one day and be led by one or two of Her Majesty’s Inspectors (HMI), with bigger teams for further education colleges. Where HMI feel more evidence is necessary to confirm the judgement, or to establish whether the school or provider may have improved or declined, the visit will be converted to a full inspection and continue, most commonly, for an additional day.
Describing the nature of the new short inspections, Sir Michael said:
“Make no mistake, this is a very different inspection model to what has gone before.
“The starting assumption of Her Majesty’s Inspectors will be that the school or college is good. This should engender an atmosphere in which honest, challenging, professional dialogue can take place.
“Leaders will have nothing to fear from accurately identifying at the outset any weaknesses in their provision - as well as the strengths - based on their own evaluation. HMI will be looking to see that the leadership has a clear understanding of the key areas for development - and a credible and effective plan for addressing these.
“Short inspections will reduce the burden of inspection without losing the rigour which parents and the public rightly expect of Ofsted.”
In his speech Sir Michael also announced plans to recognise ‘exceptional leaders’; outlining how, from September, when inspectors identify an early years leader, headteacher or college principal who has played a key role in turning around other institutions, Ofsted will send a letter to them acknowledging their leadership as exceptional. A copy of this letter will go to the Secretary of State and Ofsted’s Annual Report will also feature those leaders who have been recognised in this way.
On the importance of recognising these achievements, Sir Michael said:
“Those leaders who are taking risks, putting themselves out and disseminating good practice beyond their own institution need to be celebrated as exceptional reformers.”
As well as short inspections for good schools and further education and skills providers, September will see a number of other changes. A
common framework for inspection
is being introduced encompassing registered early years settings, maintained schools, academies, non-association independent schools and further education and skills providers, so that common judgements and terminology can be used across all these sectors. A young person, parent or employer should be able to pick up any of Ofsted’s inspection reports and be able to understand them quickly because the format and judgements are the same.
Sir Michael also announced his intention to open up Ofsted’s complaints process to greater accountability. Each Ofsted region will set up a ‘scrutiny committee’ made up of HMI and leading headteachers, early years and college leaders not involved in carrying out inspections for Ofsted. They will assess and rule on the internal reviews of complaints about inspection.
The new school year will bring significant changes to the way Ofsted contracts with, trains and manages inspectors for schools and further education and skills providers. From September, Ofsted Inspectors, directly contracted by the inspectorate, will undertake inspections. Seven out of 10 of these inspectors will be serving practitioners from good and outstanding schools and colleges. All of their training, quality assurance and performance management will be directly overseen by HMI. Even higher quality and greater consistency will be Ofsted’s watchwords.
