[blog-charlieh]

Ok, first of all, Blazers in 7. I could not be happier and it’s also wild because this is the first time in my lifetime that I’ve witnessed this. It did happen in 2000 but I was less than 1 and definitely don’t remember them going to the WCF. Moving on. The second card holds a note that I took in class and it refers to visualizing your interview day experience before hand. This will help you put yourself in the space you’ll be entering and zone into the mindset you want to have during the interview. The third note is a rough sketch of an outline that can be used for a number of organizational activities. It is an organizational tool that can help you group various aspects of a certain main or overarching topic into smaller sections so you can speak on the aspects more easily and distinguish them in your mind. The 4th card contains a note regarding your personal point of view specifically during an interview. This is a note to remind myself to have a solid, authentic, researched point of view on certain aspects of the company so when these questions are brought up in an interview you know where to go and what to speak about. The 5th card is another note about company research and it contains a few main points to research when you are making interview notes and learning about the company. The 6th card contains a quote from Jim Carrey that I really like. It basically says that you shouldn’t be afraid to go out and make your dreams a reality even if you think they are seemingly “too big.” He talks about asking the universe for what you want and in my mind what this boils down to is manifesting what you want and manifesting your desired reality through re-working yourself and focusing your mind on the right things. The 7th card holds a quote from Kurt Vonnegut that was originally found in his book, Slaughterhouse Five, in a slightly different form. Slaughterhouse Five is one of my favorite books and I really like this quote because it speaks to the idea of the eternal moment. Additionally, it relates to the idea that all we have is the current moment and we should do our best to be grateful with the present moment and live in it fully, being as present as we can possibly be. The final card contains a headline regarding the latest discovery by the scientists that work with the Hubble telescope. The latest and most detailed picture of the universe shows that there are 265,000 galaxies in our known universe and there are certainly more in the parts we can’t see and haven’t discovered. This is obviously very difficult to fathom but I wanted to include it because I think it is very significant. It really can put things into perspective and it is extremely thought-provoking.

300+ TOP WCF Interview Questions and Answers

WCF Interview Questions and Answers for freshers experienced :-

1. What is WCF? WCF stands for Windows Communication Foundation. It is a Software development kit for developing services on Windows. WCF is introduced in .NET 3.0. in the System.ServiceModel namespace. WCF is based on basic concepts of Service oriented architecture (SOA) 2. What is endpoint in WCF service? The endpoint is an Interface which defines how a client will communicate with the service. It consists of three main points: Address,Binding and Contract. 3. Explain Address,Binding and contract for a WCF Service? Address:Address defines where the service resides. Binding:Binding defines how to communicate with the service. Contract:Contract defines what is done by the service. 4. What are the various address format in WCF? a)HTTP Address Format:--> http://localhost: b)TCP Address Format:--> net.tcp://localhost: c)MSMQ Address Format:--> net.msmq://localhost: 5. What are the types of binding available in WCF? A binding is identified by the transport it supports and the encoding it uses. Transport may be HTTP,TCP etc and encoding may be text,binary etc. The popular types of binding may be as below: a)BasicHttpBinding b)NetTcpBinding c)WSHttpBinding d)NetMsmqBinding 6. What are the types of contract available in WCF? The main contracts are: Service Contract: Describes what operations the client can perform. Operation Contract : defines the method inside Interface of Service. Data Contract: Defines what data types are passed Message Contract: Defines wheather a service can interact directly with messages 7. What are the various ways of hosting a WCF Service? a)IIS b)Self Hosting c)WAS (Windows Activation Service) 8. What is the proxy for WCF Service? A proxy is a class by which a service client can Interact with the service. By the use of proxy in the client application we are able to call the different methods exposed by the service 9. How can we create Proxy for the WCF Service? We can create proxy using the tool svcutil.exe after creating the service. We can use the following command at command line. svcutil.exe *.wsdl *.xsd /language:C# /out:SampleProxy.cs /config:app.config 11.What is DataContract and ServiceContract?Explain Data represented by creating DataContract which expose the data which will be transefered /consumend from the serive to its clients. **Operations which is the functions provided by this service. To write an operation on WCF,you have to write it as an interface,This interface contains the "Signature" of the methods tagged by ServiceContract attribute,and all methods signature will be impelemtned on this interface tagged with OperationContract attribute.and to implement these serivce contract you have to create a class which implement the interface and the actual implementation will be on that class. Code Below show How to create a Service Contract: Code: Public Interface IEmpOperations { Decimal Get EmpSal(int EmpId); } Class MyEmp: IEmpOperations { Decimal Get EmpSal() { // Implementation of this method. } } 12. What is Windows card space? Windows card space is a central part of Microsoft's effort to create an identify met system, or a unified, secure and interoperable identify layer for the internet. 13. What are the main components of WCF? There are three main components of WCF: Service class Hosting environment End point 14. What are the advantages of hosting WCF Services in IIS as compared to self hosting? There are two main advantages of using IIS over self hosting. Automatic activation Process recycling 15. What is .NET 3.0? In one simple equation .NET 3.0 = .NET 2.0 + Windows Communication Foundation + Windows Presentation Foundation + Windows Workflow Foundation + Windows Card Space. 16. What is the difference between WCF and Web Services? Web services can only be invoked by HTTP. While Services or a WCF component can be invoked by any protocol and any transport type. Second web services are not flexible. However Services are flexible. If you make a new version of the service then you need to just expose a new end. Therefore services are agile and which is a very practical approach looking at the current business trends. 17. What are the different bindings supported by WCF? WCF includes predefined bindings. Basic Http binding WsHttp binding NetTcp Binding Netnamed pipes binding Net MSMQ binding 18. Can we have two way communications in MSMQ? Yes 19. What are dead letter queues? The main use of queue is that you do not need the client and the server running at one time. Therefore it is possible that a message will lie in queue for long time until the server or client picks it up. But there are scenarios where a message is no use after a certain time. 20. what are the various ways of hosting a WCF service? There are three major ways to host a WCF service : Self-hosting the service in his own application domain. This we have already covered in the first section. The service comes in to existence when you create the object of Service Host class and the service closes when you call the Close of the Service Host class. Host in application domain or process provided by IIS Server. Host in Application domain and process provided by WAS (Windows Activation Service) Server 21. What are the core security features that WCF addresses? Confidentiality Integrity Authentication Authorization 22. What is SOA? SOA is a collection of well defined services, where each individual service can be modified independently of other services to help respond to the ever evolving market conditions of a business. 23. What is the difference between transport level and message level security? Transport level security happens at the channel level. Transport level security is the easiest to implement as it happens at the communication level. WCF uses transport protocols like TCP, HTTP, MSMQ etc and every of these protocols have their own security mechanisms. Message level security is implemented with message data itself. 24. What is service and client in perspective of data communication? A service is a unit of functionality exposed to the world. The client of a service is merely the party consuming the service. 25. What is bindings? A binding defines how an endpoint communicates to the world. A binding defines the transport (such as HTTP or TCP) and the encoding being used (such as text or binary). A binding can contain binding elements that specify details like the security mechanisms used to secure messages, or the message pattern used by an endpoint. 26. What are the advantages of WCF? WCF is interoperable with other services when compared to .Net Remoting,where the client and service have to be .Net. WCF services provide better reliability and security in compared to ASMX web services. In WCF, there is no need to make much change in code for implementing the security model and changing the binding. WCF has integrated logging mechanism, changing the configuration file settings will provide this functionality. 27. Define service contracts? Service contracts define the operations that a service will perform when executed. They tell the outside world a lot about the service such as message data types, operation locations, the protocols the client will need in order to communicate with the service, and the operations the service provides. 28. Define message contracts? Message contracts allow the control of SOAP messages that are produced and consumed by WCF. Basically it boils down to being able to customize the format of contract parameters and the placing of elements within a SOAP message, or in other words, having control of the structure as well as the contents of a SOAP message. 29. Define data contracts? Data contracts specifically define the data that is being exchanged between a client and service. The data contract is an agreement, meaning that the client and the service must agree on the data contract in order for the exchange of data to take place. 30. Define transaction? A transaction is a collection or group of one or more units of operation executed as a whole. Another way to say it is that transactions provide a way to logically group single pieces of work and execute them as a single unit, or transaction. 31. What is address in WCF? Address is a way of letting client know that where a service is located. In WCF, every service is associated with a unique address. 32. What are the types of bindings in WCF? Basic binding TCP binding Peer network binding IPC binding Web Service (WS) binding Federated WS binding Duplex WS binding MSMQ binding MSMQ integration binding 33. What are different elements of WCF Srevices Client configuration file? WCF Services client configuration file contains endpoint, address, binding and contract. 34. What are the features of WCF? Transactions : A transaction is a unit of work. A transaction ensures that everything within that transaction either succeeds as a whole or fails as whole. Hosting : WCF hosting allows services to be hosted in a handful of different environments, such as Windows NT Services, Windows Forms, and console applications, and well as IIS (Internet Information Services) and Windows Activation Services (WAS). Security : WCF also enables you to integrate your application into an existing security infrastructure, including those that extend beyond the standard Windows-only environments by using secure SOAP messages. Queuing : WCF enables queuing by providing support for the MSMQ transport. 35. Explain WCF contracts? Contracts in Windows Communication Foundation provide the interoperability they need to communicate with the client. It is through contracts that clients and services agree as to the types of operations and structures they will use during the period that they are communicating back and forth. Without contracts, no work would be accomplished because no agreement would happen. Three basic contracts are used to define a Windows Communication Foundation service : Service Contract : Defines the methods of a service, that is, what operations are available on the endpoint to the client. Data Contract : Defines the data types used by the available service methods. Message Contract : Provides the ability to control the message headers during the creation of a message. 36. What is the use of SessionMode? The SessionMode attribute specifies the type of support for reliable sessions that a contract requires or supports. The value of this parameter comes from the Session Mode enumeration. 37. What are the types of messaging programs? In WCF, different types of applications can send and receive messages. Clients Services Intermediaries 38. What is transfer security? Transfer Security is responsible for providing message integrity, confidentiality, and authentication Each of these were defined previously. Windows Communication Foundation builds on this security to include quite a few modes of transfer security. 39. What are the types of messaging patterns? Messaging patterns basically describe how programs exchange messages. When a program sends a message, it must conform to one of several patterns in order for it to successfully communicate with the destination program. There are three basic messaging patterns that programs can use to exchange messages. Simplex Duplex Request Reply 40. What is the difference between WCF Service and Web Service? Web service is a part of WCF. WCF offers much more flexibility and portability to develop a service when comparing to web service. The following point provides the detailed differences between them : Hosting : Webservices can be host in IIS, whereas WCF services can be hosted in IIS, Windows Activation Service, Self Hosting. Encoding : Webservices uses XML 1.0, MTOM(Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism), DIME, Custom. WCF uses XML 1.0, MTOM, Binary, Custom. Transports : Webservices can be accessed using HTTP, TCP, Custom. WCF services can be accessed using HTTP, TCP, Named Pipes, MSMQ, P2P, Custom. Protocols : Webservices uses Security porotocols only. Whereas WCF services uses Security, Reliable Messaging, Transactions protocols. WCF Questions and Answers Pdf Download Read the full article

Finding a Farrier

Finding a Farrier

A quality farrier does more than shoe; he trims the hooves, assesses the horse’s gait, addresses any problems, and helps keep the horse pain-free.

Six tips for seeking out a horseshoer who will keep your steed sound

In a game of horseshoes, close might be good enough. But your horse's own shoes and hooves require skill, knowledge, and precision: in essence, a farrier who is right for your horse and riding discipline.

"Good podiatric care is the essence of not only the performance of the day, but also the longevity of the horse," says David Duckett, FWCF (fellow of the Worshipful Company of Farriers), a master farrier and blacksmith based in Ambler, Pennsylvania.

A quality farrier does far more than just shoe a horse's foot. He trims the hooves, assesses the horse's gait, addresses any pathologic (disease) problems the horse might have in his feet, and helps keep the horse pain-free.

"An inexperienced person can create many problems for your horse by causing immediate lameness, but more importantly they can create more serious issues over the long term," Duckett explains. "If the horse is not shod correctly, the animal is compelled to compensate for that lack of specific adjustments in the hoof preparation and trim." As a result, many anatomical parts wear prematurely.

"In the long term it is possible the horse may develop conditions that you may not associate with the incorrect trimming done some time ago," adds Duckett, who compares good farriery with good vehicle maintenance. "If you want your motor vehicle to run efficiently and smoothly, you need to change the oil regularly. If you don't, your truck may be running okay now, but just wait until you've driven some miles–it will break down."

So how does an owner find the right farrier for his or her horse?

1. Consider Education

A farrier should be knowledgeable about his field. Unfortunately, in the United States almost anyone can trim and shoe horses because no licensing or certification is required. "Some racetracks mandate credentialing, but unlike our European colleagues, who do have guild requirements, here in the United States there are no legal requirements to be a farrier," says Tracy A. Turner, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVS, of Turner Equine Sports Medicine and Surgery, in Big Lake, Minnesota. "Anyone can put up a shingle and start shoeing horses tomorrow."

Duckett hails from the United Kingdom, where the path to journeyman farrier is long and strenuous. "In England there are laws against anyone shoeing horses for gain unless they have completed the statutory requirements and appropriate education," he explains.

Duckett attended mandatory schooling for five years and had to pass written, oral, and practical examinations before he could legally charge for his services. This is only the first level of education, but it enables a successful student's name to be placed in a professional registry. To become a journeyman or master farrier requires more time, effort, and expense.

"There is a second level that is not mandatory that is an associate degree (AWCF, or associate of the Worshipful Company of Farriers)," says Duckett. "Then, a third level, which is the hardest, requires a thesis on a given topic, to hand-forge shoes for pathological conditions, read radiographs (X rays), give a lecture, a written exam followed by an oral discussion with both master farriers and veterinarians. … All these add up to an extensive scrutiny of one's level and depth of knowledge to become a fellow of the Worshipful Company of Farriers."

Before a farrier handles a horse, he or she should be well-versed in equine anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. He should also be able to read a radiograph of the foot to converse with the veterinarian on any given issue your horse might have.

"When it comes time to look for a good farrier, look for someone who has gone beyond a short training course," Turner says. "Ask the potential farrier where they learned how to shoe. Did they have an apprenticeship? Did they go to school?"

Because there are no formal requirements in the U.S., many proactive farriers seek certification. The primary and most recognized one is the American Farriers Association's (AFA) certification: Certified Journeyman Farrier (CJF). The Worshipful Company of Farriers (WCF) of London, England, recently approved an examination center in Colorado. This will allow candidates wishing to pursue a higher level of farriery to sit the Worshipful Company's examinations without the expense of a trip to England, Duckett says. Additionally, the American Association of Professional Farriers (AAPF), founded in 2011, has its own accrediations farriers can achieve: AAPF Accredited Farrier and AAPF Accredited Professional Farrier.

Don't be afraid to interview your potential farrier about certification or question your present one, following up with the AFA, WCF, or AAPF.

In addition, Duckett suggests you ask what hoof care journals or scientific papers your farrier reads and whether he or she belongs to any of the farrier associations. Ask if he or she has taken any continuing education courses or attended any lectures recently. Someone who wants to be on the cutting edge of the industry will keep up-to-date with the latest technology and scientific findings.

2. Consider Experience

A farrier's experience in the field also is important, especially if the person has no formal education or certification (however, Duckett and Turner still advise you seek out a farrier who has earned an AFA certification or its equivalent). "They need to be shoeing on a regular basis for a couple of years," Turner says. "It is not something you can get good at by doing on weekends."

Furthermore, just because a person works on a horse's feet does not automatically qualify him to be a farrier.

Duckett adds, "A farrier is an individual who is well-educated within the field and well-practiced. In recent years there are quite a number of well-educated farriers with college and university degrees that have excelled in the art and science of farriery by introducing new, innovative concepts and research. Their efforts are not only groundbreaking but breaking the bonds of a centuries-old tradition by questioning the status quo with modern technology, computers, slow motion analysis, and foot plate sensors. The work these farriers are doing is exemplary and should continue to be supported by the equine industry."

Be sure to ask potential farriers how long they have been trimming or shoeing horses and whether they have been doing it regularly.

3. Consider Horsemanship

Observe how a prospective farrier interacts with the horse to find someone who knows how to handle horses properly.

"When the farrier comes out, watch how he assesses the foot, how he approaches the horse, how he picks up the feet, how he works with the horse standing there. Is he calm, etc.? These are all good things," Turner says.

Furthermore, if a farrier has good horsemanship skills, he is likely to be conscientious about learning how to best trim and shoe your horse. You want to work with someone who is genuinely interested in your horse's welfare.

Does the person spend time watching how the horse moves and lands on his feet? Does he carefully look at and assess the foot? Does the farrier work quietly and calmly around the horse, or does he jerk the horse around? Does he raise his voice higher than necessary to get the animal's attention?

"You do not want to see any abuse to the animal, but you sometimes have to be firm," Duckett says. He recommends only owners or trainers, and not necessarily the farrier, restrain the animal if needed.

4. Ask for a Referral

The horse community is a small world, so there are several individuals you can go to to ask for a farrier recommendation. Talk to your trainer, veterinarian, stable help, and other horse owners about who they use and what they like about that farrier. Your veterinarian can be a particularly useful reference if your horse has a pre-existing foot condition, such as navicular syndrome or chronic laminitis, and requires special shoeing.

"Word of mouth is very handy," Turner says, but bear in mind that people have different definitions of "good work."

"A person can get guidance from a trainer or barn manager or other owners in the barn," Duckett adds. "However, there are times when there is a personal connection with the recommended horseshoer, so it can be difficult to sort through the chaff to get a good person."

Although certified farriers have demonstrated competency in shoeing a range of horses, some do specialize in a particular breed or riding discipline. For instance, if you ride gaited horses, you might want to seek out a farrier who has extensive experience with that breed's special footwear and shoeing requirements. Contact area trainers or organizations that share your equestrian interest and ask for recommendations of farriers with experience shoeing for your discipline. If a farrier has clients at a reputable facility or with a top trainer, he is likely very good at his job.

5. Consider Someone Who is Responsible

When considering a farrier, make sure he is enthusiastic about his work, does not rush through a trim or a shoeing, and does the job correctly. Also choose someone who is easy to communicate with, as communication between horse owner and farrier is key to developing a good relationship and an understanding of your horse's needs and your goals and financial limits.

Duckett says it also helps if the farrier keeps his word and is punctual. "A good farrier who's made an appointment will tell you if he is running late by a simple phone call," he says. "If he is persistently late or doesn't turn up at all, I'd look for someone else. If he is not responsible with you or his own business, he's not going to be responsible with your horse."

Determine ahead of time whether a farrier is willing to work with your veterinarian in the case of any injury or hoof condition. Also make sure he is easy-to-reach during an emergency situation or in case of a thrown or twisted shoe.

6. Don't Buy on Cost Alone

The cost of a farrier's services will vary by region and the horse's hoof care needs. To get a feel for reasonable fees in your area, Turner recommends that you ask around and see what other people are paying for similar horses' hoof care. Ask your prospective farrier about pricing, payment, and other concerns (e.g., emergency visits, lost shoe replacement, special shoeing requirements) up front. Compare several individuals' fees, but don't choose one farrier just because he's cheaper than the guy down the road, Turner warns. You (or your horse) might pay for it in the long run.

"Experience is not something you gain from the library or the internet," Duckett says. "Experience is something you get by living it and doing it. The important issue is not the cost, but the quality of service you receive."

"You want a sound horse with a good-looking foot when he's finished," adds Turner. "If the feet look worse, or the horse is lame when the job is done, there is something wrong. No farrier should make a horse worse."

Take-Home Message

It takes a little effort to find the right farrier, but for your horse's sake and soundness it's worth it. "Don't use someone who lacks patience, is too busy to do the job right, or treats the horse rough," Turner says. "If you follow these things, you'll find someone who has done this a lot, and things will go smoothly."

It’s time we ask the question.

With free agency days away all the “sources” are beginning to report the latest free agency rumors. Today we watched the Rockets acquired Chris Paul in very dramatic fashion, completing 5 separate trades for one player.

There are quite a few big names that could be on the move this summer with CP3. Paul George, Gordon Hayward, Carmelo Anthony,  Blake Griffin and Kyle Lowry are a few of the names floating around. One name I didn’t expect to be included in the trade conversation was Russell Westbrook. 

I was under the impression that he signed a multi-year extension last summer after KD left. When his name started coming up I was confused. How could so many analysts missed the news last summer? After asking the question on Twitter, I decided to look into this myself. 

According to ESPN, “The team did not disclose terms of the deal, but sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Chris Broussard that the new contract is potentially worth $85.7 million over the next three seasons. The deal includes a player option that would allow Westbrook to still become a free agent after the 2017-18 season.” http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/17220556/russell-westbrook-signs-contract-extension-oklahoma-city-thunder

He has a player option for the last year of the deal. The issue is that OKC doesn’t want to take the chance of losing Russ in free agency for nothing like they did last summer with Kevin. So this summer is crucial for them. If they don’t construct a winning team around Russ, he could very well be on the next plane out. The other option would be for Sam Presti to begin to rebuild and trade Russ. 

Since 2012 when James Harden was traded to Houston, Sam Presti has been trying to build another team to make it back to the Finals. Unfortunately that just hasn’t happened. They made it to the WCF a few more times but that’s it. In my opinion, he’s tried to do this while securing.... 2nd string players if you will. I don’t mean any disrespect to the players he’s brought in but in terms of all-star or superstar type players, none of them quite make the team. Enes Kanter turned out to be a great addition in 2014 for Russ while KD was out with his injury. Dion Waiters did okay. The Thunder play a lot of ISO ball which creates moments of bad shots - this is eventually the sword that killed the Thunder in the 2016 WCF against GS. Dion Waiters was another victim of the bad shot moments. Anthony Morrow was a great one but for whatever reason Billy Donovan preferred to play Kyle Singler over him which I never understood. 

Last Summer when KD left there were rumors that KD decided he couldn’t play with Russ anymore. Russ is a more ball dominant PG. There were moments in crunch times that we would say Russ should’ve deferred to KD but instead he wouldn’t pass the ball and throw up a hero shot. Now whether that was a issue for KD or not, we don’t have a definitive answer. It could be an issue for other players in deciding whether to sign with OKC or not. OKC is down to the final piece of what is left from that Finals squad in 2012. 

Sam, now is your chance. Is he fighting a down hill battle? Is there more to why the Thunder have failed to secure an all-star caliber player? Pau Gasol chose Chicago over OKC because of what the city had or in this case didn’t have to offer. So on one hand, yes there is the lack of main attractions to draw players in. In listening to interviews that Anthony Slater(previously beat writer for the Oklahoman covering the Thunder) has given, we’ve heard how....structured and serious the Thunder organization is. I know other players love watching Russ’ aggressiveness and competitiveness in the game but is this a 2-edged sword? Could this be a deterrent to them as well? 

In the words of Darnell Mayberry, Senior Assistant Sports Editor for the Oklahoman, it’s time we ask the question. Thunder front office has to figure this out and quickly. How can they give Russ the help he needs to keep him? What is it that has kept them from securing this type of player in the past? 

It will be interesting to see if Sam Presti can wow us. I hear the rumors of Blake Griffin and I’ll be watching to see what becomes of it. He’s from Oklahoma so he knows what the state has to offer. It’ll be about putting him in the best position to win. Will the Thunder be that team? I’m not sure. They have a lot of money tied up in other players like Vic and Steven Adams. As far as I’m concerned, its worth a look at in Blake’s case. It can’t get any worse than the middle-of-the-road Clippers. They’re always good enough to make the playoffs but never past the 2nd round. 

We’ll all be watching to see what the Thunder put together.
