Captain 2016

[Tommie]

Captainis a title, an appellative for the commanding officer of a military unit; the supreme leader of a navy ship, merchant ship, aeroplane, spacecraft, or other vessel; or the commander of a port, fire or police department, election precinct, etc. In militaries, the captain is typically at the level of an officer commanding a company or battalion of infantry, a ship, or a battery of artillery, or another distinct unit. It can also be a rank of command in an air force. The term also may be used as an informal or honorary title for persons in similar commanding roles.

Block captains also organize block cleanups with the Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee (PMBC). Participating blocks have three organized cleanups in the summer months. PMBC can provide tools and supplies, street cleaning, and help with other sanitation services.

"I feel like this shampoo really cleans the scalp as well- I definitely needed the conditioner that matches - since my hair is color-treated. The conditioner was wonderful too! But most amazing was the hair oil sample- smells divine! "

"This wonderful product provides your hair with freshness between shampoos without the residue buildup of sprays, and actually adds volume. So lovely the scent, similar to geranium but soft and never overpowering. This dry shampoo simply works!"

"These products perform as promised! The conditioner in particular is super good. My hair is extra soft and shiny. It has body and definition but is not static-y and feels moisturized. (I have fine, wavy hair.) They are pricey but they work. I will be trying their hair oil next."

"I massage the hair oil into my hair and scalp after washing my hair. And my hair always looks awesome afterwards - since my hair is layered, the hair oil makes it look piecey, bed-headish, and beachy, in a really good way. My hair is also really soft when I have it in. The smell is great too!"

AT THE FRONT LINES IN ITALY, January 10, 1944 - In this war I have known a lot of officers who were loved and respected by the soldiers under them. But never have I crossed the trail of any man as beloved as Capt. Henry T. Waskow of Belton, Texas.

Capt. Waskow was a company commander in the 36th Division. He had led his company since long before it left the States. He was very young, only in his middle twenties, but he carried in him a sincerity and gentleness that made people want to be guided by him.

I was at the foot of the mule trail the night they brought Capt. Waskow's body down. The moon was nearly full at the time, and you could see far up the trail, and even part way across the valley below. Soldiers made shadows in the moonlight as they walked.

Dead men had been coming down the mountain all evening, lashed onto the backs of mules. They came lying belly-down across the wooden pack-saddles, their heads hanging down on the left side of the mule, their stiffened legs sticking out awkwardly from the other side, bobbing up and down as the mule walked.

The Italian mule-skinners were afraid to walk beside dead men, so Americans had to lead the mules down that night. Even the Americans were reluctant to unlash and lift off the bodies at the bottom, so an officer had to do it himself, and ask others to help.

The first one came early in the morning. They slid him down from the mule and stood him on his feet for a moment, while they got a new grip. In the half light he might have been merely a sick man standing there, leaning on the others. Then they laid him on the ground in the shadow of the low stone wall alongside the road.

Somebody said the dead soldier had been dead for four days, and then nobody said anything more about it. We talked soldier talk for an hour or more. The dead man lay all alone outside in the shadow of the low stone wall.

Then a soldier came into the cowshed and said there were some more bodies outside. We went out into the road. Four mules stood there, in the moonlight, in the road where the trail came down off the mountain. The soldiers who led them stood there waiting. "This one is Captain Waskow," one of them said quietly.

Two men unlashed his body from the mule and lifted it off and laid it in the shadow beside the low stone wall. Other men took the other bodies off. Finally there were five lying end to end in a long row, alongside the road. You don't cover up dead men in the combat zone. They just lie there in the shadows until somebody else comes after them.

The unburdened mules moved off to their olive orchard. The men in the road seemed reluctant to leave. They stood around, and gradually one by one I could sense them moving close to Capt. Waskow's body. Not so much to look, I think, as to say something in finality to him, and to themselves. I stood close by and I could hear.

One soldier came and looked down, and he said out loud, "God damn it." That's all he said, and then he walked away. Another one came. He said, "God damn it to hell anyway." He looked down for a few last moments, and then he turned and left.

Another man came; I think he was an officer. It was hard to tell officers from men in the half light, for all were bearded and grimy dirty. The man looked down into the dead captain's face, and then he spoke directly to him, as though he were alive. He said: "I'm sorry, old man."

Then the first man squatted down, and he reached down and took the dead hand, and he sat there for a full five minutes, holding the dead hand in his own and looking intently into the dead face, and he never uttered a sound all the time he sat there.

And finally he put the hand down, and then reached up and gently straightened the points of the captain's shirt collar, and then he sort of rearranged the tattered edges of his uniform around the wound. And then he got up and walked away down the road in the moonlight, all alone.

After that the rest of us went back into the cowshed, leaving the five dead men lying in a line, end to end, in the shadow of the low stone wall. We lay down on the straw in the cowshed, and pretty soon we were all asleep.

One cluster member has the role of captain, which means that it coordinates job scheduling and replication activities among all the members. It also serves as a search head like any other member, running search jobs, serving results, and so on. Over time, the role of captain can shift among the cluster members.

Note: This diagram is a highly simplified representation of a set of complex interactions between components. For example, each cluster member sends search requests directly to the set of search peers. On the other hand, only the captain sends the knowledge bundle to the search peers. Similarly, the diagram does not attempt to illustrate the messaging that occurs between cluster members. Read the text of this topic for the details of all these interactions.

The captain is a cluster member with additional responsibilities, beyond the search activities common to all cluster members. It serves to coordinate the activities of the cluster. Any member can perform the role of captain, but the cluster has just one captain at any time. Over time, if failures occur, the captain changes and a new member gets elected to the role.

The elected captain is known as a dynamic captain, because it can change over time. A cluster that is functioning normally uses a dynamic captain. You can deploy a static captain as a temporary workaround during disaster recovery, if the cluster is not able to elect a dynamic captain.

The captain is a cluster member and in that capacity it performs the search activities typical of any cluster member, servicing both ad hoc and scheduled searches. If necessary, you can limit the captain's search activities so that it performs only ad hoc searches and not scheduled searches. See Configure the captain to run ad hoc searches only.

A search head cluster normally uses a dynamic captain. This means that the member serving as captain can change over the life of the cluster. Any member has the ability to function as captain. When necessary, the cluster holds an election, which can result in a new member taking over the role of captain.

To become captain, a member needs to win a majority vote of all members. For example, in a seven-member cluster, election requires four votes. Similarly, a six-member cluster also requires four votes.

The majority must be a majority of all members, not just of the members currently running. So, if four members of a seven-member cluster fail, the cluster cannot elect a new captain, because the remaining three members are fewer than the required majority of four.

The election process involves timers set randomly on all the members. The member whose timer runs out first stands for election and asks the other members to vote for it. Usually, the other members comply and that member becomes the new captain.
