A Single Thread: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

Outside the circle of the broderers, and in much the same vein, there's Violet's budgie-loving landlady, Mrs Harvey, who assiduously guards the coal supply and carefully vets visitors to the boarding house. And there's Violet's mother, the domineering Mrs. Speedwell, who always seems to have a put down for her daughter within easy reach but who becomes a more sympathetic figure later in the book, albeit after a little 'taming'.

We are first introduced to Violet by her frown, as with resolute rebelliousness she inserts herself into a church service she does not belong in. How did you feel about this introduction? Was it apt? Do you feel it was important for the novel to start in this way? How did it shape your reading of her character and of the book?Other synchronization APIs include condition variables, critical sections, semaphores, and monitors. I recommend it to you, if you love novels in the war time period, or novels that talk about courage!

Kernel-level threads are handled by the operating system directly and the thread management is done by the kernel. The context information for the process as well as the process threads is all managed by the kernel. Because of this, kernel-level threads are slower than user-level threads.

As thread context switch on modern CPUs can cost up to 1 million CPU cycles, [16] it makes writing efficient multithreading programs difficult. In particular, special attention has to be paid to avoid inter-thread synchronization from being too frequent.

Infatti l'Associazione delle ricamatrici di Winchester, che venne fondata da una certa signora Pesel, all'ombra dell'omonima bellissima cattedrale nel sud dell'Inghilterra (sì proprio lì dove sono raccolte le spoglie mortali di Jane Austen, un esempio di ricamatrice docg) è realmente esistita e lo è tuttora e ha prodotto meravigliosi cuscini da preghiera, ricamati per l'edificio religioso. In the leisurely paced A Single Thread, she develops the story of 38-year-old Violet Speedwell alongside the known facts of real-life Louisa Pesel, founder of the Winchester Cathedral Broderers Group from the early 20th century. She also involves Violet with a group of bell-ringers, a pastime probably most familiar to readers of Dorothy L. Sayers’ electrifying mystery, The Nine Tailors. Before writing, was a reference book editor, working on encyclopedias about writers. (Yup, still nerdy.) Learned how to research and how to make sentences better. Eventually I wanted to fix my own sentences rather than others’, so I quit and did the MA. D'altra parte ho deciso di leggerlo solo perché da un mese a questa parte mi è preso l'uzzolo di imparare a ricamare a punto croce, completamente da autodidatta, io, che a malapena sapevo infilare un filo nell'ago e attaccare un bottone era per me un incubo di pallosita', ora mi destreggio tra tele, filati colorati, punti croce mezzi punti etc etc, pertanto sono molto sensibile all'argomento e non appena ho visto questo titolo non ho resistito.
