Q: Calling infinite loop code multiple times on alarm I'm currently using an alarm signal SIGALRM to exit from an infinite loop.
My code is structured as follows
main_loop() {
    set_alarm();
    while(1)
        counter++;
}

The logic is
 - Set an alarm
 - Enter while loop
 - Read counter when we get SIGALRM
The code that runs upon SIGALRM is given below:
VERBOSE("Cycles :%u\n", counter);
iteration_index++;
if(iteration_index == iterations)
    exit(0);
counter = 0;
main_loop();

I would now like to now give the user an option to specify the number of times (iterations) the alarm should go off. In short, modify the above logic into:
 - Set an alarm
 - Enter while loop
 - Read counter when we get SIGALRM
 - Increment iteration_index
 -If iteration_index < iterations: call main_loop
 - Else exit
I implemented the above logic and found that it segfaults after a few thousand iterations. I believe that the reason for this is that:
When the alarm triggers and it makes a new call to main_loop, the original main_loop frame still exists. This keeps repeatedly happening until it runs out of space and throws a segfault.
I've tried coming up with some design that does what I want, but I'm unable to visualize code-flow after the signal is triggered.
What is the right way to implement what I've described?

A: Regrading the modifications you listed:
- Set an alarm
- Enter while loop
- Read counter when we get SIGALRM
- Increment iteration_index
- If iteration_index < iterations: call main_loop
- Else exit

You could provide a series of keystrokes (say <ctrl> - 1  to allow the user to specify a number of times (just once).  This example runs (with delays to allow some time for GetAsyncKeys().   Until the user presses <ctrl> 1, the loop will run forever.   When <ctrl> 1 is pressed, program prompts them with how many time to let the alarm sound, then programs runs that many iterations, then quits..
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

void set_alarm(void);

int main(void) {
int iterations=-1, counter=0;
    while (iterations != counter)
    {
        if(iterations == -1)//code will run forever if iteration is not set by user
        {

            set_alarm();
            counter++;
            if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_CONTROL)<0)
            {

                if (GetAsyncKeyState('1')<0)
                {
                    printf("Enter how many time alarm should activate:\n");
                    scanf("%d", &iterations);
                    counter = 0;
                    Sleep(10);
                }
            }
        }
        else//this block will monitor alarm count, program quits when limit reached.
        {
            if(counter < iterations)
            {
                set_alarm();
                counter++;
            }

        }
        Sleep(10);//changed here for my test, you might need to change again
    }

    return 0;
}

void set_alarm(void)
{
    //do something;
}

A: Yes, you are right.  When the handler for SIGALRM runs, the main_loop() function is still running.  Both functions will in fact be running on the same thread.  If you never exit from the SIGALRM handler, then the next handler will go on top, and this will keep happening until you run out of stack and crash.
To fix this, simply return from the signal handler.
// Make sure that both of these are volatile
volatile int iteration_index;
volatile int counter;

void catch_sigalrm(int signo)
{
    // Note: this is not safe, so I commented it out
    // VERBOSE("Cycles :%u\n", counter);
    iteration_index++;
    if(iteration_index == iterations)
        exit(0);
    counter = 0;
    set_alarm();
}

void main_loop(void)
{
    set_alarm();
    while (1)
        __sync_fetch_and_add(&counter, 1);
}

I think this will work.  It should use ldrex and strex for incrementing counter.
The problem with using counter++ is that it can be interrupted: counter++ is actually something like this:
int old_value = counter; // memory access
int new_value = old_value + 1;
counter = new_value; // memory access

As you can see, if the alarm goes off in the middle of counter++ the results will get wiped out.  That is why you need to use __sync_fetch_and_add() instead.
The volatile specifier is MANDATORY
Here's the main loop with a normal counter variable.  I've removed the call to set_alarm() because we're not concerned about it right now.
// This is wrong
int counter;
void main_loop()
{
    while (1)
        counter++;
}

Here's the assembly:
_main_loop:
    b _main_loop

    .comm _counter, 4, 2

Wait a second!  It doesn't increment anything, it's just an infinite loop!
That's right.  The compiler detected that counter can not possibly be read anywhere, and so optimized the increment right out of existence.  You MUST use volatile.  The volatile keyword instructs the compiler that counter may be read or written by something else that is not a thread (actually, it instructs the compiler to be strict about loads and stores, but that's the technical version).  (For working with threads, volatile is almost never useful, you have to use atomics which are different.)
Here's the version with volatile:
// This is ALSO wrong
volatile int counter;
void main_loop(void)
{
    while (1) counter++;
}

And the assembly:
_main_loop:
    ; load address of counter into r0
    ...

loop:
    ; increment counter
    ldr  r1, [r0]
    adds r1, #1
    str  r1, [r0]

    b loop

As you can see, this can be interrupted in the middle.  This is why you have to use __sync_fetch_and_add(): it detects when counter++ was interrupted and it restarts the operation from the beginning.
Here is the correct version:
// MUST be volatile
volatile int counter;
void main_loop(void)
{
    while (1)
        __sync_fetch_and_add(&counter, 1);
}

More notes

*

*You can't call printf() in a signal handler.

*In fact, try to avoid doing anything in a signal handler.

*At most, set a flag, write a byte to a pipe, or something like that.

Is it safe to travel solo as a female in Cuba? It's a question that crops up a lot, and we're not really sure why! Away from the headline grabbing war of words between the communist government in Cuba and the United States – which has lasted since the presidency of John F Kennedy – there is a truly welcoming Caribbean nation. From Baracoa and Santiago in the east, to Pinar del Rio and La Fe in the west, you can be absolutely sure of a warm welcome as a solo female traveller. That said, here we detail all you need to know as a solo female traveller.
In contrast to some Caribbean destinations, Cuba is phenomenally safe for travellers, and that doesn't change if you're female or if you're travelling alone. Though you shouldn't face any significant problems, it's always wise to keep an eye on your belongings in crowded areas such as markets.
Any attention you receive will more likely be as a tourist generally, rather than a solo female tourist, with locals eager to find out where you're from and perhaps practice their English. Should it become any more than this, be firm – it doesn't matter in which language – and try and find a safer spot, such as the lobby of a hotel where there are staff and security guards to keep an eye on any trouble makers.
The first thing to say is that Cuba has been up against a trade embargo from the United States since the 1960s. While this has led to the crumbling façades and vintage taxis that make Cuba such a unique destination, it also means items aren't as readily available here as elsewhere in the world. You should therefore bring any special toiletries – and definitely medicines and sun creams – with you and not rely on finding them in the country.
We wouldn't recommend relying on a constant internet connection to get you around either – those mapping, language, and travel guide apps could well be useless because of the limited access to internet connections that the country has. To be safe, its best to print off anything you might need – from airline tickets and addresses to maps and things to see and do – before you leave home.
Its warm climate means you'll want lots of light clothing from natural materials such as cotton, which helps your skin breath. Beach wear, from swimming costumes to sun hats and summer dresses, are also a must if you're to get the most out of your time as a solo female traveller in Cuba. And while you can definitely get around Cuba in casual fashion, Cuba's like to get dressed up when heading to a bar or nightclub, so you might like to take some evening wear (or accessories to add pazzazz to day wear) to help blend in!
How can we put this? Public transport in Cuba is …interesting to say the least. If you opt to travel by this means you'll be saved the worst of the crush by being required to use the more expensive Viazul coach network that crosses the country and providing ticket holders with dedicated seating.
A better way to travel around the country is perhaps as part of a tailor-made tour in Cuba. That way you get to create your own personalised itinerary – seeing what you want to see, and avoiding everything you don't – and having the added advantage of knowledgeable English-speaking local guides, and private air-conditioned transport to get you from place to place.
The highlight of many independent traveller's time in Cuba, casa particulares are without doubt the best places to stay on the island. The best way to think of these uniquely-Cuban establishments is as a bed and breakfast. A relatively new concept for the still heavily controlled and restricted Cuban economy, casas (as they are more routinely known) offer a much better option than the large government-owned and run hotels on the island. Run instead by families, casas generally consist of just a handful of bespoke rooms in the family home, and range from budget bed-and-bathroom listings to luxury penthouse apartments.
As a solo female traveller you'll get the benefit of becoming a member of the family for however short a time period, have trustworthy people to chat with, and learn a lot more about Cuban culture than you ever will in a hotel with hundreds of rooms. Should you need further convincing, the breakfasts (as well as lunches and dinners should you want them) are rapidly becoming legendary – just another demonstration of the Cuban desire to welcome their guests!
If you've ever wondered whether Cuba was a safe destination for solo female travellers, we've hopefully shown you that it is, detailing a few hints and tips that will make any solo journey to this wonderful island all the better along the way.

Georg Heinrich Pertz (28 de março de 17957 de outubro de 1876) foi um historiador alemão, nascido em Hanôver.

Vida pessoal

Pertz casou-se duas vezes. Seu primeiro casamento foi em 1827 com Julia Philippa Pertz, née Garnett (nascido em 1793; morreu 22 ou 25 de julho de 1852), com quem teve cinco filhos. Seu segundo casamento, em 1854, foi com Leonora Horner,  com quem teve vários filhos, incluindo a botânica Dora Pertz.

Morreu em 7 de outubro de 1876, em Munique. Ele está enterrado em Berlim. Em 1937, em sua homenagem foi nomeada Pertzstrasse uma rua no distrito de Kleefeld de Hanover.

Carreira
Entre 1813 e 1818 estudou história e filologia na Universidade de Göttingen. Sua tese de graduação, publicada em 1819, sobre a história dos prefeitos merovíngios do palácio, atraiu a atenção do reformador prussiano Barão Stein, por quem foi contratado em 1820 para editar os cronistas carolíngios para a recém-fundada Sociedade Histórica da Alemanha. Em busca de materiais, realizou uma longa viagem pela Alemanha e Itália, e ao retornar 1823 foi encarregado da publicação da série Monumenta Germaniae Historica, textos de todos os importantes escritores históricos sobre assuntos alemães antes de 1500, bem como como de leis, cartas, arquivos imperiais e régios e outros documentos valiosos do período.

Em 1821 foi nomeado secretário dos arquivos e, em 1827, principal guardião da biblioteca real de Hanôver. Entre 1832 e 1837 editou o Hannoverische Zeitung. Em 1842 foi bibliotecário-chefe da Biblioteca Real de Berlim, sendo pouco depois nomeado conselheiro privado e membro da Academia de Ciências. Em 1874, com 24 volumes da série Scriptores, Leges e Diplomata da Monumenta escritos, renunciou a todas as suas nomeações.

Seu trabalho com a Monumenta trabalho tornou possível a existência da escola moderna de historiadores científicos da Alemanha medieval. Em conexão com a Monumenta, Pertz também começou a publicação de uma seleção de fontes em formato oitavo, os Scriptores rerum germanicarum in usum scholarum . Entre suas outras obras literárias estava uma edição do Gesammelte Werke de Leibniz, e uma vida de Stein ( Leben des Ministers Freiherrn vom Stein (6 vols, 1849-1855)).

New nonprofit will fight Green New Deal, promote natural gas
By THEODORIC MEYER
With David Beavers and Daniel Lippman
FIRST IN PI — NEW NONPROFIT WILL FIGHT GREEN NEW DEAL, PROMOTE NATURAL GAS: Anonymous donors are funding a new nonprofit designed to fight the Green New Deal and promote natural gas. The nonprofit, called the Empowerment Alliance, aims to counter what Terry Holt, a longtime Republican operative whose firm, HDMK, is running communications for the group, described in an interview as a "flood of left-wing money that would have us virtually shut down" the natural gas industry. He cited groups funded by billionaires such as Michael Bloomberg and George Soros, both of whom are major Democratic donors, as among those the nonprofit will push back against.
— Holt declined to disclose the Empowerment Alliance's budget but said the donors funding the group wanted it to be "a significant factor in the 2020 election." Jim Nathanson, a longtime Republican operative, is the executive director. The group plans to run ads, engage in grassroots work and reach out to the media and may set up a lobbying operation down the road, Holt said.
— The group isn't disclosing its donors, whom Holt described as "a group of Americans who care about keeping the U.S. strong and powerful and independent." They don't want their names made public to avoid the wrath of protesters such as those who staged a demonstration last year in the driveway of the home of Duke Energy's chief executive. "Our donors are going to be anonymous so they have protection from that kind of blowback from the extremists," Holt said. The group plans to raise money from more donors as well. "We are hoping that with our seed money that we'll be successful in getting people's attention," Holt said.

DEMOCRATS PITCH CONVENTION TO K STREET: "Two top operatives planning the Democratic Party's 2020 convention in Milwaukee went to K Street [earlier this month] to pitch lobbyists on their plans for the $70 million event," POLITICO's Maggie Severns and I report. "Against the backdrop of the Democratic primary, it was an awkward pairing — representatives for special interests meeting with top Democrats while the party's leading presidential candidates reject corporate PAC and lobbyist cash."
— "But Democratic National Committee officials explained during the meeting how corporations can help foot the bill for the convention, regardless of who the nominee is, addressing some lobbyists' worries that a crusading left-wing nominee like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren could try to reject corporate money, embarrassing convention sponsors. The DNC doesn't plan to return any corporate money that is donated to the convention regardless of the nominee," Joe Solmonese, the convention committee's chief executive, told POLITICO.
BOOKER'S FUNDRAISING GAMBIT PAYS OFF: Cory Booker isn't dropping out of the presidential race after all. The New Jersey senator tweeted this morning that his campaign had raised $1.7 million, the amount Booker's campaign manager, Addisu Demissie, said nine days ago the campaign needed to raise by the end of the quarter to stay in the race. The gambit worked. Booker's campaign hit that number on Sunday night, Booker said this morning. He tweeted that "$1.7 million wasn't just a goal — it was the real number we knew was necessary for us to continue building an organization that can take us all the way to the White House."
GLUECK ON ISAKOWITZ: POLITICO's Steven Overly talked with Ken Glueck, Oracle's executive vice president, about Google's decision to hire Mark Isakowitz to run its Washington office. Google is Oracle's archrival in Washington, and Glueck managed to praise Isakowitz while also going after Google. "He's brilliant. He's a very, very smart guy. He's extremely affable. He's a friendly guy. Everybody likes Mark. He's a great hire," Glueck said. "That's the problem, right? Enron hired a lot of great people."
EVEN MORE DYSFUNCTION AT THE FEC: "The Federal Election Commission chairwoman, Ellen L. Weintraub, on Friday took the dramatic step of using Twitter to release the entire draft of a memo addressing foreign election interference after its disputed publication in the agency's weekly digest," The New York Times' Neil Vigdor reports. "Ms. Weintraub, a Democrat appointed by President George W. Bush, said a Republican commission member, Caroline Hunter, had thwarted the release of the memo and the digest, so she self-published the materials in a tweet storm that drew widespread attention to the tensions on the commission."
IF YOU MISSED IT THIS WEEKEND: "For years, the Interior Department resisted proposals to raise the height of its towering Shasta Dam in Northern California. … But the project is going forward now, in a big win for a powerful consortium of California farmers that stands to profit substantially by gaining access to more irrigation water from a higher dam and has been trying to get the project approved for more than a decade," The New York Times' Coral Davenport reports. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt lobbied for the group — known as the Westlands Water District — for years while working at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck before joining the Trump administration.

Sometimes you need to do the hard work of understanding the data - data can uncover the secrets of your operations: the good, the bad … and the ugly. And sometimes, you need to work at the detailed level to fully understand what is going on … and uncover why.
The MPCD approach does this - works at the detailed, data level to uncover those secrets. But more than this - it drives forward progress. It uses targets to motivate, to challenge and to provide evidence - of the possible, the realistic, the 'truth'. Managers can then work at a daily level to identify why these targets are not being met - and to improve operations so that the targets are met, regularly and consistently. MPCD deployment puts those managers firmly in control. Perhaps most importantly, MPCD provides the links between the ``productivity vision`` and longer-term aims -- and the goals and action plans that drive shorter-term improvement. Adopting and using the MPCD system releases hidden reserves of productivity and profitability.
Alin has done a remarkable job of condensing a lot of detailed information into a readable, interesting and challenging book. If you are the type of manager who values evidence-based policy determination and decision-making, then MPCD is the approach for you. If you are not yet convinced, read the results of case examples - this approach works!"

\section{Introduction}
Planetary nebulae (PN) are an excellent laboratory to investigate the nucleosynthesis and chemical
evolution of intermediate mass stars. Accurate abundances can be obtained for several chemical elements,
including (i) those elements that are manufactured by the PN intermediate-mass progenitor stars (He, N, C),
and (ii) also elements that were originally produced by more massive stars of previous generations
(O, Ne, Ar, S). The abundances of the first class of elements  measured in PN include the original content
previous to the formation of the progenitor stars and the contamination effects during the nuclear processes
in these objects. As a consequence, PN can be used to study the nucleosynthetic processes in intermediate
mass stars. On the other hand, elements such as O, Ne, etc. reveal the interstellar abundances at the time
and place the progenitor stars were formed, so that the determination of their chemical abundances
produces important observational constraints to the chemical evolution models for the galaxies hosting
these objects.

In the past few years, we have obtained a large sample of PN of different galactic populations with accurately
derived abundances (cf. Maciel et al. \cite{mci09}, \cite{mci10}, and references therein). In this work we
present average abundances and abundance distributions of several elements, as well as distance-independent
abundance correlations that  can be directly compared with the predictions of recent theoretical evolutionary
models for intermediate mass stars.

\section{The sample}

For the Milky Way, we have considered three different samples: (i) our own IAG/USP data (cf. Maciel et al.
\cite{mci09}, \cite{mci10}), which includes 84 disk PN and 188 bulge PN, supplemented by 84 bulge nebulae
from Stasi\'nska et al. \cite{stasinska}; (ii) Sample A, which includes 234 PN in the Milky Way disk (Maciel
et al. \cite{mcu}, Maciel and Costa \cite{mc10}), and (iii) Sample B, which is a larger sample which
includes literature data, presently containing 372 nebulae. For the Magellanic Clouds, we have again
considered our own data (Maciel et al. \cite{mci09}), including 45 nebulae for the SMC and 23 objects in
the LMC, supplemented by data from Stasi\'nska et al. \cite{stasinska}, with 48 PN in the SMC and 106 in
the LMC,  and Leisy and Dennefeld  \cite{leisy}, with 36 PN in the SMC and 120 in the LMC. As discussed
by Maciel et al. \cite{mci09}, the merged sample maintains the homogeneity of the individual samples,
in view of the similar methods employed, so that a more comprehensive sample can be obtained.

\section{Average abundances and abundance distributions}

We have determined average abundances of all studied elements both in the Galaxy and in the Magellanic
Clouds. The He abundances are similar in all samples within the average uncertainties, and are as follows:
He/H $\simeq$ 0.115, 0.105, and 0.095 for the Milky Way, the LMC and the SMC, respectively. Typical
uncertainties in the He abundances are approximately 0.020 to 0.030, and the abundances range from 0.05
to 0.18 (Maciel et al. \cite{mci10}). The O/H abundances, which are usually the best determined of all
heavy elements considered here, also show a good agreement among all different samples for a given system.
In all cases the LMC is richer than the SMC, as expected, and the average metallicity differences are usually
in the range 0.3 to 0.5 dex, which is consistent with the metallicities given by Stanghellini
\cite{stanghellini}, namely Z = 0.004 and Z = 0.008 for the SMC and LMC, respectively. The same pattern is
observed as the Milky Way data are included, as expected from the larger metallicity of the Galaxy relative
to the Magellanic Clouds. The Ar/H and Ne/H ratios show a behaviour similar to O/H in all cases. The sulfur
abundances seem to be less reliable, since larger standard deviations are obtained and the average S/H ratio
in the Galaxy seems to be lower than in the Magellanic Clouds, contrary to the pattern of the remaining heavy
elements. The  nitrogen abundances also follow the same pattern as O/H, Ar/H, and Ne/H. The N/H ratio is
affected by the dredge-up episodes in the PN progenitor stars, especially the first dredge-up in low mass
stars and the second dredge-up in intermediate mass stars, apart from hot bottom burning (HBB) in  the more
massive progenitors. From our results, the average contamination from the PN progenitor stars is probably
small. An example of the metallicity distribution is shown in Figure 1 for the Milky Way and
the Magellanic Clouds, where we have considered Sample A and the IAG data, respectively.

   \begin{figure}
   \includegraphics[width=.50\textwidth]{histx-mw.eps}
   \includegraphics[width=.50\textwidth]{histx-mc.eps}
   \caption{Average oxygen abundances of PN in the Milky Way (left) and Magellanic Clouds (right).}
   \label{histog}
   \end{figure}

\section{Abundance correlations}

The variation of the ratios Ne/H, Ar/H, and S/H with O/H usually shows a good positive correlation for all
systems in the Local Group. This can be seen in Figure~2, where Ne abundances are plotted against the O/H
ratio for the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. Bulge PN, not shown in the figure, follow the same
trend. The correlations are usually very good, with slopes in the range 0.8--1.2, with the exception of
sulfur. As discussed in detail by Maciel et al. \cite{mci09}, there are still problems in the interpretation
of sulfur data from PN, a conclusion supported by the comparison of the present results with some recent
Spitzer data (Bernard-Salas et al. \cite{bernard}). It has been suggested (\cite{bernard}, \cite{henry04})
that the uncertainties in the S/H  abundances may be due to the possibility  that the adopted ionization
correction factors overestimate the contribution of the S$^{+3}$ ion to the total sulfur abundances.
Figure~2 also shows the Ne/O ratio, from which we note that this ratio is essentially constant for all
metallicities with a relatively small dispersion, in contrast with  the elements produced by the progenitor
stars, as we will see in the following.

   \begin{figure}
   \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{nehoh.eps}
   \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{neooh.eps}
   \caption{Neon abundances of PN in the Milky Way (red) and Magellanic Clouds (blue).}
   \label{neonio}
   \end{figure}

More interesting results can be obtained considering the elements that are produced during the evolution
of the PN progenitor stars, namely, He, N, and  C.  A plot of the ratio N/H as a function of O/H
leads to a positive correlation, as in the case of Ne and Ar, but  with a larger dispersion. This is due
to the fact that the PN display both the original N present at the formation of the star plus the
contamination by the progenitor star. In other words, the N/H ratio measured in PN shows some
contamination, or enrichment, in comparison with the original abundances in the progenitor star.  The plot
of the N/O ratio as a function of O/H  also shows a larger dispersion in comparison with the Ne/O plot
shown in Figure~2, for the same reason.

   \begin{figure}
   \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{nhheh-m.eps}
   \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{noheh-mx.eps}
   \caption{Nitrogen abundances of PN and comparison with theoretical models by Marigo.}
   \label{nhno-m}
   \end{figure}

Very interesting abundance correlations involving N abundances are those obtained as functions of the He
abundances, as shown in Figures~3 and 4. It can be seen that  the evolution of the abundances is consistent
with a similar trend for all systems, since the slopes are similar for all objects.  In figure~3
we have also included the predictions of theoretical models by Marigo et al. \cite{marigo}, shown by the
thick lines. These are synthetic evolutionary models for the thermally-pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch
stars (TP-AGB) with masses in the range 1.1 to 5 M$\,_\odot$, in which the first, second and third
dredge-up episodes occur, apart from HBB for the most massive objects. These processes affect the He/H ratio,
and in fact most objects present some enhancement compared to the solar values. According to Marigo et al.
\cite{marigo}, progenitors having 0.9 to 4 M$\ _\odot$ and solar composition can explain the \lq\lq normal\rq\rq\
abundances, He/H $<$ 0.15, while for those objects with higher enhancements (He/H $>$ 0.15) larger masses
are needed, in the range 4 to 5 M$\ _\odot$ plus an efficient HBB. Similar plots can be obtained using the
models developed by Karakas (see for example Karakas and Lattanzio \cite{karakas}), in which case the initial
masses range from 1.0 to 6.0 M$\ _\odot$, and metallicities $Z$ = 0.02, $Z$ = 0.008 and $Z$ = 0.004 have been
considered, as shown in Figure~4.
   \begin{figure}
   \centering
   \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{noheh-k.eps}
   \caption{Nitrogen abundances of PN and comparison with theoretical models by Karakas.}
   \label{noheh-k}
   \end{figure}
The agreement for the N/O ratio is good, with a similar conclusion for N/H, and with a better agreement for
the Milky Way, as expected, since this galaxy is somewhat more metal rich than the Magellanic Clouds.
We found a continuous transition between the \lq\lq normal\rq\rq\  and He-rich nebulae, which is probably
due to the fact that we have a much larger sample compared to Marigo et al. \cite{marigo}. These results
suggest that the nucleosynthetic processes occurring in these systems are similar, even though the global
metallicity may be different and the chemical evolution may be affected by different star formation rates.
More detailed discussions can be found in some of our recent papers (\cite{thais}, \cite{mci09}, \cite{mci10}).

Tarik needed to get away from the infirmary and sit in a quiet place that would allow him to think. So, the medic made his way to the library. As he entered he noticed that other than the librarian, he was the only one there. What a relief. He went over to the section of the library that housed resourse and history books. Tarik then began a long search for a book on the history of Barlo mansion. Normally, such a book would be on it's own special shelf or something of the sorts. But the young man was having a difficult time locating such a book.
"Aha..." he said quietly to himself as he pulled a book off of the shelf. It was old and thick, the pages were yellowed and a bit brittle. The civer wa sleather and smelled of dust. Tarik thought it quit eodd that such a book would have to be searched for... it was almost as though whoever put it there had wanted it hidden. He walked over to a table and sat down, then carefully opened the book.
Tarik wasn't sure exactly what it was that he was looking for, but he had many questions that he wanted answers to. Maybe this book could deliver.
The Rogeralon family was found murdered on the third floor of Barlo Mansion. They had each been stabbed several times with some kind of laarge knife. It is said that the deaths were quick. However, no suspects were ever prosecuted."
After scanning over the first few pages he landed on one that caught his attention. There was a writing about the mansion's hauntings. Tarik scowled at it and read on...
[i] "The Barlo curse and haunting,
They say it's amystery, while others state it as fact. It is said that after one spends at least one night in the mansion, they will never be able to leave for more than one night. Whomever comes to live at the Barlo Mansion, will forever live there... even after death. It is said that this is why
the owners haunt the mansion. They are unable to leave. Are they looking for some kind of peace? Who knows. Perhaps they are waiting for the
day when justice will be served for their murders." [i]

"Tough questions, talk of immigration policies, and a rap — those, and much more, were on display Friday in Las Vegas where candidates and representatives of four presidential campaigns gathered for the first time to address Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) at a forum hosted by APIAVote and the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA)."
Opinion: In 2016, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Are Ready To Be Heard
A join op-ed by APIAVote Executive DIrector Christine Chen and Rock the Vote COO Carolyn DeWitt: "The 2016 election cycle will be the largest mobilization of AAPIs in civic engagement. An unprecedented number of AAPI organizations and community leaders are coming together to ensure we effectively register and engage AAPI voters. We look not to the distant future for this community to grow, but to today and tomorrow — AAPIs are taking action, are organizing, and are prepared for the now."
It's Time to Start Putting Effort Toward Polling Asian Americans
"AAPIs are the fastest growing racial group in the nation and a rising political force. Understanding their needs and concerns—and addressing them—is vital not only for the AAPI community, but indeed for the strength and future of our nation... So the true challenge is not one of data, language, or statistics. The true challenge is convincing polling organizations that AAPI voices and views matter. That they are worth the investment."
Fueled By Young Voters, Asian-Americans Increasingly Identify As Democrats
"Asian-Americans are shifting toward the Democratic Party in record numbers, according to a new poll conducted by a consortium of Asian-American organizations — AAPI Data, Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote and Asian Americans Advancing Justice. In fact, since 2012, there's been a 12 point increase in the percent of Asian-Americans who identify as Democrat — from 35 percent to 47 percent."

If we take man as he really is, we make him worse, but if we take man as he should be, we make him capable of becoming what he can be.
He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how.
We find what we are looking for. If we are looking for life and love and openness and growth, we are likely to find them. If we are looking for witchcraft and evil, we'll likely find them, and we may get taken over by them.
Don't call me guru. Like you I'm just a student of yoga. Maybe I have studied a bit longer, but that's all.
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
If we cling to who we are now, how will we ever know who we can still become?
When the outcome no longer matters, it quickly becomes the joy of being able to work with what you have.
Create a good foundation to be able to manage your increasing awareness.
Even if the level of tuition is high, it is not the teacher who progresses you, it is your steady commitment to the practice that expands your development.
The more a person limits himself, the more resourceful he becomes.
"When Love breathes life through dry branches, young leaves begin to grow."
The student, like the teacher, needs to practice faithfully. The teacher dedicates time and effort in preparing for class and teaching; to receive maximum benefit, the student must make the same commitment.
Humility is really more natural than pride, which seems to me always to involve a lie.
The fullness of yoga is already there to be experienced - waiting for our readiness.
Whatever happens to you, don't fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can't see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path. Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.
Words can seduce you into believing that you understand the essence of yoga. But the juice lies not in the words, or the pictures, or the commentaries, or the workshops, or even in the best of teachers. No, the magic is revealed little by little with regular practice. Yoga is experiential.
That which does the seeing cannot be seen; that which does the hearing cannot be heard; and that which does the thinking cannot be thought.
Do not think of yourself as a small, compressed, suffering thing. Think of yourself as graceful and expanding, no matter how unlikely it may seem at the time. When we lose this lightness, our bodies shrink. The moment the body shrinks, the brain becomes heavy and dull.
Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.
One can never be alone enough to write.
Love interrupts at every hour the most serious occupations, and sometimes perplexes for a while even the greatest minds. It does not hesitate to interfere with the negotiations of statesmen and the investigations of scientists.
There is only one thing that I dread: not to be worthy of my sufferings.
One ought to offer help, but not take away accountability.
If you have learned something really well, then the way you express it will not be the same as the way you learned it.
It is your practice that brings the secrets to you. No teacher can give you the secrets.
Yoga is a disciplined subject - a casual attempt only gains casual results.
We need something bigger than we are to be awed by and commit ourselves to.
The teachers are everywhere. What is wanted is a learner.
Rely on ignorance. It is ignorance the teachers will come to. They are waiting, as they always have, beyond the edge of the light.
Discard everything that weakens you. Have nothing to do with it.
Everything great is just as difficult to realize as it is rare to find.
Wanting to do yoga is not enough, we must do it.
Knowing about yoga through books or talking or listening, is also not enough, we need to apply the knowledge to really know.
However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. It is a powerful obstacle to growth. It assures the progressive narrowing of the personality and prevents exploration and experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling. If you want to keep on learning, you must keep on risking failure - all your life. It's as simple as that.
Confidence, clarity and compassion are essential qualities for a teacher.
When you realize you will only ever have limited success asking, hoping and expecting things from your practice and your teachers, you might consider shifting your focus instead to what yoga is asking of you.
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board.
When you have done an asana properly, then you are no longer in the doing stage, you are in the receiving stage. Your body and senses should not be actors but rather receptors to receive the pose.
The student should practice to acquire control over his breath gradually - as one would tame a lion or a tiger - otherwise it will destroy him.
Proper practice of pranayama brings curative properties. Improper practice gives rise to all sorts of problems - respiratory, head, eyes, psychological.
The teacher must be a real student.
Change leads to disappointment if it is not sustained. Transformation is sustained change, and is achieved through practice.
I have taught you all these things, now go and find out yourself.
Beginnings are always delightful; the threshold is the place to pause.
O aspirant, learn to practice until the last breath of your life.
The whole educative thrust of yoga is to make things go right in our lives.
Only after breaking through many layers of ignorance do we see how vast this world is. The sea that surges within this small body seems almost limitless. For this experience not to be overwhelming, it is critical to understand what is waiting for us as we sink deeper into the sea within.
As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.
We are filled with a sense of responsibility when we feel we have something or someone to live for, a cause to serve, a mission to fulfil. For the sake of something more than ourselves, we can rise to any challenge; overcome any difficulty; face up to any problem; bear every distress, hardship and pain.
Let us not mistake any school or approach to yoga for being all of Yoga.
The known is limited, but the unknown is vast. Go to the unknown more and more.
"Don't just try to tackle the problems the mind creates: Go to the root, tackle the mind."
Being the first accessory of Hatha Yoga, asana is described first. It should be practised for gaining steady posture, health and lightness of body.
Something stirs inside when yoga chooses you, when that spark lands. First it smoulders then it reveals your tasks, one by one.
The control of the palate is a valuable aid for the control of the mind.
You must do the asana with your soul… Many people try to think their way into an asana, but you must instead feel your way into it.
The world is too much with us: getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.
Mere action is not yoga. Doing more and more is a craze. Asana is not a motion, it is not a set of movements, it is a state of mind.
We wouldn't attempt to meditate, or engage in any other contemplative practice, if we didn't feel that something about our experience needed to be improved.
Props show how the asana can lead to full extension, expansion and good circulations as well as toward relaxation and natural reflection.
You all want to learn yoga, but you are not willing to accept the challenge that comes.
A fertile solitude is a benign forgetting of the body that takes care of itself… A productive solitude, the solitude in which what could never have been anticipated appears, is linked with a quality of attention.
Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.
If we cut our attention to any person or pursuit nothingness sets in fast.
In order to make progress, one must leave the door to the unknown ajar.
Everything great is just as difficult to realize as it is rare to find.
When everything goes well it does not mean one is happy; rather, one is happy when one is good for something.
Yoga is simply there waiting to be practiced and experienced.
It's pleasing to discover that it isn't necessary to drive oneself forward; instead, one can simply allow oneself to move forward as blocks are removed. Thus, one becomes attracted by the future rather than propelled by the past.
No one's fated or doomed to love anyone. Accidents happen, we're not heroines. They happen in our lives like car crashes, books that change us, neighborhoods we move into and come to love.
None of the things in life - like love or faith - was arrived at by thinking; indeed, one could almost define the things that mattered as the ones that came as suddenly as thunder.
For the secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
Often our breakthroughs are in the next breath and our answers are right there hidden in plain sight; pause longer so they can reveal themselves.
Someone has a great fire in his soul and nobody ever comes to warm themselves at it, and passers-by see nothing but a little smoke at the top of the chimney.
 The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Wait not for external instructions or complex postures in order to open yourself to more profound levels of being. Nobody can teach you this, it's in you already.
Humility comes from the heart. The head is the seat of the ego, and the heart is the seat of humility.
Your work is to discover your work, and then, with all your heart, to give yourself to it.
I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.
All the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it.
Taking to the road - by which I mean letting the road take you - changed who I thought I was. The road is messy in the way that real life is messy. It leads us out of denial and into reality, out of theory and into practice, out of caution and into action, out of statistics and into stories - in short, out of our heads and into our hearts.
Don't be lazy, don't be afraid.
Close the critic out when you are drafting something new.
Take chances in the interest of clarity of emotion.
Whether young or old or too old, sick, or lean, one who discards laziness gets success if he practices yoga.
Where the needs of the world and your talents cross, there lies your vocation.
Unless your defects are pointed out, you will not change.
There comes a time when, with calm, singular focus, we practice for the moments - those ones waiting for us to feel fully. When we do, there is nothing to say.
Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore, is its own reward.
Now I come to you full of future. And from habit we begin to live our past.
Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant - there is no such thing... Making your unknown known is the important thing.
I closed the box and put it in a closet. There is no real way to deal with everything we lose.
Wherever your life ends, it is all there. The utility of living consists not in the length of days, but in the use of time; a man may have lived long, and yet lived but a little. Make use of time while it is present with you. It depends upon your will, and not upon the number of days, to have a sufficient length of life.
Yoga asana is not about bending, it's about cleansing.
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
So, yoga being a natural healing system, without any external drugging, takes its own time to purify the blood. It's not an easy or quick job, it can take years. That's why regular daily practice is essential. One day of negligence can make your cells react. DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR PRACTICE.
Uncertainty is where things happen. It is where the opportunities - for success, for happiness, for really living - are waiting.
By nature the body is inert, dull and sluggish; the mind is vibrant, active and dynamic, and the soul is luminous. The practice of yoga destroys sluggishness of the body and builds it up to become equal to the active and sensitive mind.
If the body is stiff that is understandable. But if the mind is also stiff then you can't get anywhere. The mind has to become flexible.
Negative Capability: the willingness to embrace uncertainty, live with mystery, and make peace with ambiguity.
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
You may not necessarily know that you are not in alignment, but when you are, the feeling is unmistakable. After that the opportunity is to sustain the delicious relief by increasing your momentum of least resistance.
Dedication is not what others expect of you, it is what you can give to others.
Had I told the sea what I felt for you, it would have left its shores, its shells, its fish, and followed me.
Just as idle organs of the body may become the hosts for rampant growths, so idleness in the psychological realm leads to morbid inner developments.
If I don't do it - who will do it? And if I don't do it now - when should I do it? But if I do it for my own sake only - what am I?
What is to give light must endure burning.
Attitude: Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.
Most people are not just comfortable in their ignorance, but hostile to anyone who points it out.
It is in the present, in the moment, that we face the possibilities of the future.
Every once in a while - often when we least expect it - we encounter someone more courageous, someone who chooses to strive for that which (to us) seemed unrealistically unattainable, even elusive. And we marvel. We swoon. We gape. Often, we are in awe. I think we look at these people as lucky, when in fact, luck has nothing to do with it. It is really about the strength of their imagination; it is about how they constructed the possibilities for their Life. In short, they didn't determine what was impossible before it was even possible.
Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small.
Who can say more than this rich praise, that you alone are you.
Things will happen and you will emerge.
Teach up to the student, not down — yoga should lift and inspire people, not bring them down.
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
They tried to bury us, they didn't know that we were seeds.
No doubt, Yoga brings about transformation in one's physical, mental, and moral well-being. This should not be mistaken for mastery of the subject.
How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved.
No - because to be realistic one must always admit the influence of those who have gone before.
Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide deficiencies instead of overcoming them? Why look for friends or partners who will just shore up your self-esteem instead of ones who will also challenge you to grow? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you? The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it's not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
When you are practicing a pose in yoga, can you find the delicate balance between taking the pose to its maximum extent, and taking it beyond that point so that there is too much effort creating wrong tension in the body?
Regular hours of practice are necessary to improve in yoga (or any endeavour), but not sufficient. How you pay attention during each practice will change the outcome of your experience and, ultimately, your progress.
Look both ways when lingering at the intersection of the known and the unknown.

'I'm 36, he's 42 and we're still playing': Sania Mirza reaches Australian Open Mixed Doubles final with Rohan Bopanna
Playing the final Grand Slam tournament of her career, Sania Mirza got the chance to win her seventh major title by reaching the Australian Open mixed doubles final with compatriot Rohan Bopanna in Melbourne on Wednesday. The unseeded Indian pair knocked out third seeds Desirae Krawczyk and Neal Skupski 7-6(5) 6-7(5) 10-6 in the semi-final which lasted one hour and 52 minutes. After splitting a set apiece, the Indians raced to a commanding lead in the Super Tie-breaker. Sania found a stunning backhand winner to earn three match points and sealed the contest with a drive volley that Krawczyk could not return.
"It was a great match, there were a lot of nerves. It's my last slam and it's so special to play with Rohan. He was my first mixed doubles partner when I was 14 and today I'm 36 , and he is 42 and we are still playing, we have a solid relationship," Sania said after the match.
Sania has announced that the WTA event in Dubai in February will be her swan song.
"We're excited to get back here and give ourselves another chance. We played the best mixed doubles pair on the Tour and had to find the best," she said of the rival players from the United States and England.
"I'm not a crier but I'm almost there now, I feel the love of the last 18 years I've been coming here. It feels like home to me, I have a family here, I eat at home and I have so many Indians who support me," said Sania, who won her first Grand Slam title at the 2009 Australian Open, where she shared the title with compatriot Mahesh Bhupathi.
She later won the women's doubles title at Melbourne Park in 2016 with Swiss great Martina Hingis.
The 42-year-old Bopanna, who won her only major title at the French Open and won the mixed doubles with Canadian Gabriela Dabrowski, said it was crucial to seize the momentum in the tie break.
"As Sania mentioned, it was a tough team we played against. It's not easy to keep the momentum going after losing the second set, but we stayed strong and got an early lead and gave us that momentum," he said .
"Really happy to share the court with Sania. (It's an) incredible journey that inspires everyone back home and today so many fans here.
"One more to go. It would be an absolute dream (Sania to win the title). It can't get better than that. It's going to be special and we need it in India. Keep inspiring everyone out there, that's the only way to keep it going." Out of Sania's six Grand Slams titles, three are mixed doubles trophies which she won with Mahesh Bhupathi (2009 Australian Open, 2012 French Open) and Brazilian Bruno Soares (2014 US Open).
All three women's doubles titles came with Swiss great Martina Hingis. (Wimbledon 2015, US Open 2015 and Australian Open 2016).

It will be very interesting to see how this develops, as with all of these kind of thingsTM it will need to strike a cord and build a community to give it momentum and keep up to date.

/Julia Fox ...
Julia Fox believes she will 'surpass the Kanye narrative'
Julia Fox is confident her public narrative will eventually "surpass" her brief relationship with Kanye West.
The Uncut Gems actress met the Stronger rapper on New Year's Eve and they embarked on a highly publicised romance, which came to an end six weeks later on Valentine's Day.
In an interview with The New York Times, Fox claimed she was the one who initiated the split but described the decision as amicable, and noted that they only spent around 15 days together during their romance due to their busy schedules.
She then insisted that her relationship with "the ultimate stunt queen" has given her career a huge boost and she won't be defined by it forever.
"Look at the big picture," Fox said. "That was amazing for me. The exposure was priceless… But I do think eventually I'll surpass the Kanye narrative. Believe it or not, Kanye's not the most interesting thing that's ever happened to me.
"I tried my best to make it work… I already had a jam-packed life. How do I fit this really big personality into this already full life? It just wasn't sustainable. I lost like 15 pounds in that month."
The 32-year-old added that she didn't think they were an exclusive couple but she felt like she was his girlfriend at the time.
"But it also felt like I was being cast in the role of his girlfriend – and he was casting me. He was the orchestrator of it all. It really did feel like a movie," she stated.
For her birthday celebration in February, West gifted Fox and a few of her friends Hermès Birkin bags, which costs upwards of $10,000 (£7,500) each. In the interview, she revealed she used it for a few days before putting it back in the box.
"I don't know if you know about owning a Birkin when you're not a rich person, but it's like the most anxiety-inducing thing ever," she shared. "You're checking on the Birkin, making sure it's still there, that it didn't magically grow wings. It's scary to have a Birkin. It's a lot of pressure."
Earlier this week, Kim Kardashian was declared legally single amid her divorce from Kanye. She has since removed "West" from her name on her social media accounts. She is now dating comedian Pete Davidson, while Kanye has been linked to model Chaney Jones.
