Q: Is there a mathematically optimal way to parallelize a given algorithm? Let us say we have an algorithm with multiple steps and each of those steps can be parallelized. Given a certain number of CPU cores, is there a mathematically optimal way to split things up on the cores. Given there are multiple ways to splits things up and along multiple dimensions, how do you choose which slicing to go for? Is there a well-established mathematical/CS theory behind this?

A: This is a very hard problem in computer science though it looks simple at first glance. Researchers works since decades on automatic-parallelization and optimal parallel algorithms and this is still an active field of research. Put it shortly, there is no general mathematically optimal way to parallelize a given algorithm. In practice, regarding the target algorithm, there are some specific solution to find good result on real-world hardware but AFAIK no solution is guaranteed to find the practical optimal yet. Humans are still needed for that (and certainly for a long time)!

Let starts with the basics. The Rice's theorem states that all non-trivial semantic properties of programs are undecidable. For example, the halting problem is undecidable. The same thing applies for parallelization of algorithms: knowing if an algorithm can be parallelized is undecidable. Thus, knowing the optimal way is the least of the problems. In practice, this means that there is no algorithm that can automatically say if an algorithm can be parallelized or even find an optimal parallelization. That being said, considering one specific algorithm, you can often say if this is the case (researchers do that but they sometimes takes years to do so).
In practice, you can restrict the set of considered algorithms so to make the problem decidable and in fact even hope to find an optimal solution. The polyhedral model can be used to solve this. Indeed, considering a sequence of nested loops following described in the language of Presburger arithmetic, it is possible to perform an automatic (optimal) parallelization. This theoretically works and use by some compilers in practice. But there is a catch, the complexity is HUGE: O(2^(2^(2^n))). As a result, any complex realistic problem turns out to be impractical to compute. In practice, there are heuristics and approximation to make that practical (but not fast either) and the worst case scenarios rarely occurs. Compilers should take care not to make the problem too complex to solve. There is another big limitation that is coming from the model itself: the Presburger arithmetic. Indeed, this arithmetic do not support operations like modulus, or any user-defined non-trivial operators. In practice, this means that if there is a modulus in a basic nested loops (impacting the iteration space), then compilers cannot optimize them (unless they use a use-case dependent "cheat" so to transform the problem to another without a modulus which is very rare). The same thing applies for a nested loops with an increment that is a runtime-dependent array item.
While the polyhedral model is good to find an optimal solution in theory, the solution may not be optimal on the target hardware. Modern processors have all sort of quirks that make this insane to solve. In practice, compilers succeed to make a relatively good job in basic use-cases (trivial parallel embarrassingly parallel loops and basic reductions) thanks to dozens of interrelated optimizations steps. The optimization is not global (the loop optimization is relatively independent of the code generation) as it would be completely unrealistic to do, even on simple cases. There are a set of tweaks so it can "work in practice" (ie. optimizations steps are tweaked so next ones can generate faster code) but not in general using one mathematical model. Put it shortly, engineering is used to complete the lack of theoretical computer science solution.
Given a well-defined parallel algorithm, it is actually pretty hard to know how to find the best parameters (eg. block size for better caching and SIMD vectorization). The usual solution to this problem is to use auto-tuners so to explore the huge exploration space and optimize a metric (speed). Finding a good metric is challenging regarding the complexity of current hardware. AFAIK, there is no model that even succeed to fit with the reality on practical hardware but some succeed to model quite well specific parts of the hardware (eg. caches). The best approach are based on runtime feedback so to complete the imprecision of theoretical models. The FFTW library is a good example for that.

A: I believe that there isn't one. Simply because there are so many types of algorithms and ways to parallel them that it always comes down to a certain implementation. Not only an algorithm but the CPU architecture(or even GPU if you are running it there) can also differ and affect the performance.
As a rule of thumb - you should have as many active workers(threads) as amount of logical cores available to you in case of CPU computations. In case of GPU computations - its difficult and you need to tailor your own solution what will suit your needs.
Another tip is not to split the task by amount of workers equally in big chunks but to divide them even smaller and keep them in a queue for workers to pick from. This allows to keep track of upcoming workload and also gives the ability to halt gracefully.
This tip I've discovered after learning a bit of Nvidias CUDA - there you can spawn almost any number of tasks(blocks) but a graphics card will only execute a fixed amount of them in parallel as the internal planner decides.

It's All Virtual
Virtual Events and A Whole Lot More.
Virtual Events 101: Learn Virtual
Virtual Events Calendar
10 Reasons to Skip the Web Site in Favor of Twitter (When Researching a Company)
Exception to the rule: when researching Twitter, you're more than welcome to visit Twitter.com.
Let's say you've never heard of a company before, but want to learn more. You land on the company's home page and need to answer some rudimentary questions:
What does the company do?
Where are they headquartered?
What's been going on lately?
You'd typically look for pages such as "Contact," "About Us," and "News" and perhaps you'd get some answers. Lately, I skip those pages and simply look for the Twitter icon (which 90+% of companies have). Visiting their Twitter profile tells me everything I need to know.
Let's consider ten reasons to skip the web site in favor of a company's Twitter profile.
1) Character limit increases clarity.
What does a company do? On an "About Us" page, they have an unlimited amount of space. The description on your Twitter profile has a limit of 160 characters. As with tweets, the economy of characters forces you to be simple and efficient. The description on a company's Twitter profile is far better than the text on their "About Us" page.
2) A picture is worth a thousand words.
Photo source: the profile page of @VirginAmerica.
Twitter's profile page displays six of the company's most recently posted photos (in thumbnail size). These images helps paint a picture of the company and are more personal (i.e. "real") compared to what they might post on their web site.
3) Find out where they're based (right away).
I like to know where a company is based. On some web sites, you'll get a "Contact Us" page, but no physical address. You might have to navigate to the Press Releases page and find out where the releases were issued from. It's all too hard. The Twitter profile asks for "Location" and most companies list their headquarters' location. Just what I need.
4) Find related Twitter accounts.
Photo source: the profile page of @ConstantContact.
Companies will use separate Twitter accounts for assorted functions (e.g. customer support). Sometimes, knowing about these additional accounts can be useful.
5) Now what do you REALLY do?
Companies that sell complex products can lose us when they begin to describe just what it is they do. The first instance of jargon brings with it the potential for confusion. The description (above) by McAfee doesn't go into detail on products or solutions. But it's an elegant and simple statement that we can all understand.
6) What have you been up to lately?
Read a company's five most recent tweets. More often than not, you'll have your answer. Here's an example of a recent tweet from @Bunchball:
Caitlin Donaldson, our Data Analyst, recently joined the world of #gamification. Here's what she has learned so far: bit.ly/ZYgruK
bunchball (@Bunchball) March 21, 2013
7) What's your "social persona"?
A company's Twitter profile can tell a lot about their approach to social. Consider these questions you can ask:
Do they follow back?
Do they retweet others?
Do they interact with other users via "@ mentions"?
Do they post photos?
Do they share others' content, in addition to their own?
8) View creative images you won't see on the web site.
I love seeing the creativity used by some companies in their Twitter profiles. When Twitter launched header images (to complement your photo), it unleashed a torrent of creativity. Check out the image combination from @Ford:
9) What's your personality and culture like?
A company's tweets tell us about their employees and their culture. In addition, the Twitter account embodies an answer to the question, "hey company, what's on your mind?" And that's something social media provides that a web site cannot.
10) Are you following me?
OK, I had to add this one as a form of "Twitter vanity." If you're checking out a company and they're already following you, make sure you follow them back (if you're not already doing so)!

Although all the meals I ate in Japan were amazing, there were a few stand outs that come to mind. In Osaka, it would be Rakushin. There was nothing that I didn't love about this restaurant. The food was delicious, the design was beautiful, and it even had a small rock garden with a flowering peach tree behind the chef's counter. And best of all was the chef's wicked sense of humor. He would make jokes and periodically call one of his chefs out to tease and entertain us. We laughed to the point of tears. At the end of the meal, he brought out some of his ceramics collection to show and dug up some New Year's kuro mame (sweet black beans) to share with us. The meal alone would have been one of my favorites, but these small touches and to be able to have a genuine and hilarious conversation with a chef solidified it as one of my favorite experiences as a whole.
I forgot to take a photo of the contents of this dish! Anyways, inside this dinosaur egg was a … pudding? With matcha jelly and white wine gelée?

Q: Applet -> servlet -> another applet communication I'm implementing a simple checkers game (java applets as clients + servlet) where two players can connect to the servlet and play. As I'm just beginning with applet-servlet programming, I have some problems with the proper communication.
Let's suppose the game begins and first player moves. Then I have to send his move to the servlet which should inform the other player. And here I don't know how to do that. How the servlet can pass received data to another applet, not the one that sent it? How and where should the servlet keep the info related to players so that it can recognize which one sent the data?

A: Fisrt: the servlet won't pass data or message to any servlet from its initiative.
It will have to wait for the applet to send a request, and then will be able to send a proper response.
So, the simplest seems that your applets regularly send requests to the servlet, like "what's up?". It's the polling system ome is talking about.
To recognize which player is polling, give them an id when they first access your servlet (register ?), and make that id present in every future request.
Is that clear enough ? :)
(and yes, next step is to use COMET)

This week's artifact is a pastel rendering of former Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn (1970.4.5). Recognized for his legislative integrity, the Texas-raised Rayburn was Speaker of the House of Representatives for a total of seventeen years between 1940 and 1961. President Johnson benefited from Rayburn's friendship, counsel, and support as Congressman, Senator and Vice President. The portrait, a piece from LBJ's personal collection, was drawn by Gisbert Palmié in 1959 while he was working in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Splendor of the Orion Nebula (Photos)
By SPACE.com Staff 2013-11-14T22:27:00Z
Orion Nebula by Brian Davis
Brian Davis took this photo of the Orion Nebula from a driveway in the suburbs of Sumter, S.C., over 3.5 hours on Jan. 1, 2012 using a QSI 583wsg camera, Stellarvue SVR105 4" APO Refractor telescope, mounted on a Celestron CGE. Davis sent the image in to SPACE.com on Oct. 8. The entire region of the sword of Orion can be seen in the photo. The Running Man Nebula, or NGC 1977, is visible to the left of the image.

Once thought to be part of the Orion nebula, the star cluster NGC 1980 is actually a separate entity, scientists say. It appears around the brightest star seen at the bottom of this image, iota Ori. The disks around the star are the result of internal light reflection in the camera optics.

This composite image at infrared wavelengths shows the Orion nebula "bullets" as blue features and represents the light emitted by hot iron gas. The light from the wakes, shown in orange, is from excited hydrogen gas.
Each bullet is about ten times the size of Pluto's orbit around the Sun and travels through the clouds at up to 250 miles (400 kilometers) per second-or about a thousand times faster than the speed of sound.

Titans demonstrated the reason for their name for much of this encounter, a big pack gaining the lions share of possession and, with it, greater scoring opportunity.
Too often this year the clinical nature of the modern game has had Albanians outweighed and the first half this week was no different.
The second period gave home supporters something to cheer about but not enough to gain League points.
The first half hour produced three tries for the visitors from Jarrard Hayler, Alfie Petch and giant scrum half Lewis Webb. Gary Kingdom converted all three.
Just on half time Dan Watt dived out of a desperate tackle and converted his own try.
Six minutes into the second half Morgan Thompson's clever dummy put Peter Warne over for Watt's improvement and A's seemed to be closing the gap. But a penalty try from a scrum and a further score from Connor Baker put matters beyond doubt.
Lloyd Anderson's driving run cheered up the home crowd when he handed to Watt whose scoring pass released Toby Munday. The captain's conversion ended the scoring.
Worthing are the hosts next Saturday. Kickoff 15.00hrs.

The original version of this article was published in Conquer the Crash (2002).
Today, almost all "money" is intangible. It is not, nor does it even represent, a physical good. How it got that way is a long, complicated, disturbing story, which would take a full book to relate properly. It began about 300 years ago, when an English financier conceived the idea of a national central bank. Governments have often outlawed free-market determinations of what constitutes money and imposed their own versions upon society by law, but earlier schemes usually involved coinage. Under central banking, a government forces its citizens to accept its debt as the only form of legal tender. The Federal Reserve System assumed this monopoly role in the United States in 1913.
Originally, a dollar was defined as a certain amount of gold. Dollar bills and notes were promises to pay lawful money, which was gold. Anyone could present dollars to a bank and receive gold in exchange, and banks could get gold from the U.S. Treasury for dollar bills.
In 1933, President Roosevelt and Congress outlawed U.S. gold ownership and nullified and prohibited all domestic contracts denoted in gold, making Federal Reserve notes the legal tender of the land. In 1971, President Nixon halted gold payments from the U.S. Treasury to foreigners in exchange for dollars. Today, the Treasury will not give anyone anything tangible in exchange for a dollar. Even though Federal Reserve notes are defined as "obligations of the United States," they are not obligations to do anything. Although a dollar is labeled a "note," which means a debt contract, it is not a note for anything.
Congress claims that the dollar is "legally" 1/42.22 of an ounce of gold. Can you buy gold for $42.22 an ounce? No. This definition is bogus, and everyone knows it. If you bring a dollar to the U.S. Treasury, you will not collect any tangible good, much less 1/42.22 of an ounce of gold. You will be sent home.
Some authorities were quietly amazed that when the government progressively removed the tangible backing for the dollar, the currency continued to function. If you bring a dollar to the marketplace, you can still buy goods with it because the government says (by "fiat") that it is money and because its long history of use has lulled people into accepting it as such. The volume of goods you can buy with it fluctuates according to the total volume of dollars -- in both cash and credit -- and their holders' level of confidence that those values will remain intact.
Exactly what a dollar is and what backs it are difficult questions to answer because no official entity will provide a satisfying answer. It has no simultaneous actuality and definition. It may be defined as 1/42.22 of an ounce of gold, but it is not actually that. Whatever it actually is (if anything) may not be definable. To the extent that its physical backing, if any, may be officially definable in actuality, no one is talking.

We tried the regional fried chicken chain many people say is the best in America to see if it lives up to the hype
Hollis Johnson and Kate Taylor
Hollis Johnson
A regional chicken and biscuit chain is ready to become a household name outside the Carolinas.
Bojangles', a chain founded in 1977 in Charlotte, North Carolina, has grown to over 700 locations, stretching from Pennsylvania to Alabama.
And earlier this month, news broke that Bojangles's is eyeing Delaware as fertile ground for further expansion in the Mid-Atlantic.
Most people north of the Mason-Dixon and west of the Mississippi have never heard of the Southern chain; however, loyal fans swear by their chicken and "Bo-Berry" biscuits.
In our quest to find the best fried chicken chain in America, we visited a Bojangles' in Charlottesville, Virginia, hungry for the truth.
Bojangles' beige buttress beckoned from the highway in Charlottesville.
The taupe continued inside — the interior felt like a clean, sterile, yet vaguely homey vibe, like an old-school New England Wendy's.
The ordering system sets Bojangles' apart from most: the cashier calls orders over a PA system to the kitchen, which springs into action.
The system works seamlessly. Our orders were ready in roughly 3 minutes — easily the speediest chicken chain we surveyed.
We ordered quite the spread: chicken selects, a two-piece chicken dinner, a fried chicken sandwich, a grilled chicken sandwich, a "Bo-Berry" biscuit as well as a regular biscuit, and bowls of "dirty rice" and mac n' cheese for sides.
The chicken Supremes — Bojangles' take on chicken tenders — come in a combo with a biscuit and a "fixin'." The mac n' cheese is a solid, yet a conservative take on the traditional side — nothing special, but certainly serviceable.
The Supremes look fairly appealing, but on first bite the luster is lost. While they're not horrible, they lean on the dry side of things, and they lack that certain crunch that one craves with a proper tender. The Cajun seasoning, however, is an uplifting redemption that makes these worth a try.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner? Maybe not. Where the Supremes are dry, the chicken on the bone certainly isn't. In fact, the grease can be a tad overwhelming in a chicken that fails to truly distinguish itself in terms of flavor.
The dirty rice, on the other hand, is a surprisingly tasty side. Sausage adds a salty, savory punch of flavor to the seasoned rice. It's not something you can get at any fast food chain, and Bojangles' is better for it.
If only the same can be said for the grilled chicken sandwich. This mayo-laden mess is both dry and flavorless, with a bun that shirks its noble task of avoiding sogginess, and wimpy lettuce that retreats in the face of a mayonnaise onslaught.
The fried chicken sandwich suffers from a similar mayo malaise. However, the Cajun seasoning manages to cling to life despite the dead-weight of the goopy condiment.
Bojangles' signature sweet, the "Bo-Berry" biscuit, is adored amongst Bos' fans. Yet this adoration befuddles us. Biting in, Hollis immediately called his dentist to schedule a cleaning. The toaster strudel-esque icing gave way to a sweetened biscuit dappled with suspiciously artificial tasting blueberries. It's an icon, sure, but a problematic fave.
The saving grace is the simple, humble plain biscuit. Sweet, buttery, salty salvation. It's a utility player that doesn't put on airs or ask for much, but it delivers every time.
Nowhere is the biscuit's power more apparent than the breakfast menu, which is available all day, and in many ways Bojangles' shining star. Items such as the Cajun fillet biscuit blow other chicken options out of the water.
Bojangles' is also known for its extraordinarily sugary sweet tea. Something else caught our eye, however: Patio Red Cherry soda.
Fun fact: In high school, Kate's chemistry class took a field trip to Bojangles' to learn about supersaturation of liquids — using their sweet tea.
Patio has been essentially discontinued since the late '70s, yet a small number of Bojangles' continue to stock the startlingly red soda on tap. It tastes like the most fake cherry flavoring one can possibly imagine and it's glorious.
Bojangles' is well-loved, and for good reason; however, at times it falls short of expectation. We can see why people love the biscuit and celebrate the chicken's Cajun seasoning — but in 2017, the chicken competition is stiff, and Bojangles' could stand to improve.

It outputs this: Output

A: By overriding the paintTab() method, you're preventing the title from being painted by the base class.
You have one of two options:

*

*Override paintTabBackground() and paintTabBorder() instead of overriding the paintTab() method, letting the base class paint the title

*Paint the title yourself in your paintTab() method

Jose Mourinho names the three biggest candidates for Premier League title

By admin , in Sprots , at November 2, 2018
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho believes Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City are the three biggest candidates for the Premier League title.
The Red Devils are down in eighth ahead of Saturdays clash with Bournemouth at Dean Court but Mourinho is confident that his side will be better placed by the start of 2019.
While United have only managed five wins in the English top flight since the start of the campaign, they will be encouraged after an improved performance last weekend against Everton.
Mourinho has also been boosted by the return of forwards Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard who the Portuguese claims are ready to face the Cherries.
More: Football
Asked where he hopes United will be placed after December, Mourinho replied: I think we will be in a better position.
I always say that in the end of the season you play 19 matches at home and away and it doesnt matter when but the reality is that the way the fixtures are coming sometimes they have an influence in the moment we had a double fixture away Burnley, Watford now we have a double fixtures away with Bournemouth and Manchester City.

We will have Juventus away before Manchester City, we will have Valencia away before Liverpool in this part of the season we play away against possibly the three biggest candidates for the title, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City so the calendar was not nice to us.
But I think by the end of December, which is the end of the first half of the Premier League, we are not going to be in the position we are now.
We will be in a better position.

Mourinho is confident that United can still finish the season inside the top four despite a disappointing start to the campaign.
Asked about the atmosphere inside the dressing room, Mourinho replied: The mood is fine. Our last couple of weeks was positive, that second half against the Newcastle.
The match against Chelsea, against Juve it was really hard, we fought hard. We had a very positive game against Everton. The mood is positive. Theyre fine.
When you are outside the top four I dont think you should speak about title, when you are top four you can look up, see the distance, look to the fixtures, to the calendar, you can look to the situation at the moment, injuries, suspension and form.
Then you can feel it but in this moment we are outside top four so the point is now to get the points we need to try and be in the end of December in a better position than we are in now at this moment.

Help Our Veterans, Buy A Cool Watch!
We all love watches. Otherwise, I wouldn't be writing about them and you wouldn't be reading about them. I'm also a huge supporter of the men and women fighting for our freedoms in this country. So, when I learned of a new watch wholly conceived with the idea of supporting those brave fighting forces I was immediately intrigued.
Founder Brent Durban started Valhalla Watch Company after a close friend and veteran took his own life as a result of post-traumatic stress disorder. These types of stories should deeply affect us all, regardless of race, religion, gender, or political leanings. As a watch lover Brent is endeavoring to combine his passion for the hobby with his passion for helping those willing to put their lives on the line to protect the rest of us.
Valhalla's first offering is designed to remind the wearer of our military forces, and succeed in this effort I believe it does. First, and something rarely seen in today's watch world, using a Rhonda 515.24H quartz movement the Valhalla dial displays the time in true 24-hour format. This means that the hour hand takes a full 24 hours to make one full trip around the dial, rather than the now-standard two revolutions (split into AM and PM) utilized to display time in the familiar 12-hour format. If you're familiar with the classic Glycine Airman, you'll understand this concept. While the 515.24H movement comes with GMT and date functions those have been removed in this case in order to offer a cleaner dial. I like it and I think it was the right move, even though it does leave a "phantom" first position on the crown.
Second, the "22" on the dial is displayed in red. This represents the VA-estimated 22 veterans who take their own lives every day in this country. Following along on this theme, 22% of the proceeds from the sale of each watch will be donated to organizations dedicated to the mental health and well being of our veterans.
The dial itself will be offered in both black and blue colors, while the buyer will have a choice of either stainless steel or gold plated treatments on the case and bracelet. I'd prefer to see a standard width bracelet and lugs rather than the proprietary end links shown in the press pics, because I think this thing would be absolutely killer on a NATO strap. Provided the bracelet is of a high quality I think most folks will probably be just fine with the lack of strap interchangeability. Each owner will also have the option of a personal engraving on the case back. The prototypes display an American flag along with a tribute to Brent's fallen friend.
Even Rum Runners Need The Time!

Weekend Weather Expected To Bring Steady Rains And Flash Flooding
By Ruth Bruno

While residents across the state can expect a break from the scorching 90 degree temperatures that flared up at the start of the week, the cooler weekend temperatures will come at the price of more rain.
The chance for heavy rains will build as the morning hours wane on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
Foggy skies and the possibility of thunderstorms will hang over Saturday. Between 1 and 2 inches of rain are expected to fall throughout the day in Hartford County, according to the National Weather Service. In some areas, amounts of up to 5 inches can be expected, throughout Saturday.
The pummeling rains will start up again early Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service. Alternating thunderstorms and rain showers will make for a moist, cloudy day. The first thunderstorm is expected to break over the state before 10 a.m., according to the agency.
While the rain might be heavy, the heat won't be as harsh as it has been this week, according to Gary Lessor, assistant director of The Weather Center at Western Connecticut State University.
"There are people who are sick of the humidity," Lessor said. "It's going to be humid, but it won't feel as bad."
The reason? A drop in the typical heat. Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 76 on Saturday and 79 on Sunday for a mild finish to the week that brought on the state's third heat wave.
While the temperatures will most likely drop off over the rainy weekend, Lessor says there is a chance another heat wave will move in late next week.
As rainfall builds up throughout the weekend, it brings with it the possibility of flash flooding.
A flash flood watch will be in effect for portions of Northern Connecticut beginning Friday at midnight until 8 a.m. Sunday. The National Weather Service warns residents in Hartford, Tolland, Windham and Litchfield counties to monitor forecasts in case the steady rain presents danger in the area.

Android Distribution Numbers - July 2018: Oreo Gains Steam
Justin Herrick
Oreo might've started gaining momentum just as it's about to be replaced.
The Android distribution numbers for July 2018 are in, and the data reveals that the latest version of Android is on 12.1 percent of devices. Oreo, which was released in August 2017, has long struggled to find its way to global popularity.
Most companies are still rolling out mid-range and low-end hardware with outdated software, but Google does have two initiatives for them to stay current. Android One puts Google in control of software updates while Android Go optimizes the user experience on entry-level devices. Both, however, are unlikely to have contributed much to Oreo yet.
If anything, it's time that has helped Oreo climb up. Google's had plenty of time for partners to catch up and get it onto new and existing products.
These are the percentage changes from two months ago:
Oreo: +6.4%
Nougat: -0.3%
Marshmallow: -2%
Lollipop: -2%
KitKat: -1.2%
Jelly Bean: -0.7%
Ice Cream Sandwich: -0.1%
Gingerbread: -0.1%
Every non-Oreo version fell in the last two months since Google last shared the Android distribution numbers. Based on the shift toward Oreo, the outlook is positive. But it won't last forever since Android P is due out in about a month or so.
After the public build hits, we'll be back to seeing the latest version of Android on a scary-low number of devices around the world.
Google, though, does have a plan to combat fragmentation. It'll just take some time to know if it's working or not. When Oreo was released in 2017, Google included a modular-like setup where partners could easily keep up with system-level updates.
With Android P, the Mountain View-based company brought in partners to test the software. Companies like HMD Global, Sony, and Essential have been able to participate in the Android Beta Program. The idea is that, by bringing in third-party hardware, Android P will be better suited to work across all devices and not just Google's.
We'll have an understanding for this strategy in a year or so. By then, most brands will ship mobile devices based on Android P or Android Q. If successful, Google should see the two most recent versions of Android remain at the top over time.

Three fire crews were called to the scene.
A PENSIONER has been treated for smoke inhalation following a fire at a house in Hampshire.
Three Southampton fire crews were called to a property at Brook Walk in Totton just after 1pm today.
The blaze broke out in an airing cupboard in a first floor bedroom.
A Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service (HFRS) spokesman said an 80-year-old man was treated at the scene for minor smoke inhalation.
Two crews from St Mary's fire station and one from Redbridge dealt with the incident.


Following the last blog entry, I will share more spring scenes I saw in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in Shinjku, Tokyo (Part 1 is here).
The image above shows one of the flowers I like to see in spring. I'm not sure but I've heard that they are called spring star flowers in English. Is it correct? Anyway, I always take photos of these flowers in this kind of low angle. You have to be careful to do this because you'll get dirt and fallen leaves all over your body. Also, these flowers bloom on roadsides but I don't recommend you do this on such places.
The image above looked a little bit noisy by the blur of the stems on the foreground, but overall, I like the soft and silky bokeh this lens creates. I like the natural colors it depicts in the nature, too. It's perfect for my spring photo walks.
The trunk of a cherry tree was beautifully lit.
Their vivid pink was looking great under the blue sky.
I'm sure a lot of lives are enjoying the new season.
A maze of shadow. I didn't try it though.
After I took several photos, fallen leaves were all over my body.
It fell a bit too early.
There was a young couple over there. I pointed my camera at their direction. What I was trying to capture was those flowers, not you, I said to myself.
How can I hide my shadow well? I tried a lot of poses, but my left shoulder stuck out.
I moved to the left to include those two girls in the frame. What I originally wanted to capture was the tree in the center. That's the trunk of an old cherry tree. Amazing.
There's no way other than looking up this way to see a tall cherry tree,.
They were reaching for the sky, trying to absorb the sunshine!
This star flowers were bluish. The sun was getting lower at this time.
The same star flowers from a different perspective.
The park will close soon! The closing time is so early.
Look at this cherry blossoms. They all are wearing octopus-shaped hats!
The leaves when I entered the park.

On 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, the 32nd Division, which included the 1st Dorsets and the 11th (Lonsdale) Battalion of the Border Regt attacked the German line at this point and stormed the Leipzig Salient, but were compelled to retire later in the day.
In the spring of 1917, after the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line, V Corps cleared these battlefields and made a number of new cemeteries, including Lonsdale No.1 and No.2.
Lonsdale Cemetery No.1 (the present Lonsdale Cemetery) contained originally 96 graves (now in Plot I), the great majority of which were those of officers and men of the 1st Dorsets and the 11th Borders.
LONSDALE CEMETERY No.2, which was about 500 metres further East. It contained the graves of 38 soldiers from the United Kingdom (31 of whom belonged to the 11th Borders) and two German soldiers.
NAB ROAD CEMETERY, Ovillers-la-Boisselle, which was on the road running up Nab Valley, about 900 metres East of Lonsdale Cemetery. It contained the graves of 27 soldiers from the United Kingdom, who fell in July, September and October 1916.
PAISLEY AVENUE and PAISLEY HILLSIDE CEMETERIES, which were on the South side of Thiepval Wood. They contained the graves of 284 soldiers and Marines from the United Kingdom (mainly of the 49th (West Riding) Division), who fell in July 1916 - February 1917, and two German soldiers.
Lonsdale Cemetery now contains 1,542 Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the First World War. 816 of the burials are unidentified but there are special memorials to 22 casualties known or believed to be buried among them. The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker.

The Hangover (Film Series)
So he inked a cope with traders headed by former Los Angeles unlawful gambler Milton B. "Farmer" Page to lease the Stardust's hotel and casino for an unheard-of $500,000 per 30 days. Located simply exterior town limits where Fremont Street merges into Boulder Highway, the Meadows introduced a touch of glamour to the desert, and might need been a model for self-contained casinos far from the city core. When a fireplace erupted within the casino, the Las Vegas Fire Department refused to battle the blaze because the Meadows was positioned exterior the city limits. Left with a lodge and a burned-out on line casino building, the Corneros sold their curiosity within the property.
Montecito Resort And Casino
The preliminary season, he is stated to be an area who moved again as evidenced in "Decks and Violence" by way of his conversations. However, in later seasons, he acknowledged บา คา ร่า 9988 he moved/stayed in Las Vegas to get out of the debt he landed himself in when occurring a poker tilt in "A Cannon Carol".
Mike and Nessa turn into close in season two, till Nessa leaves to be along with her dad and sister, without saying goodbye. In the season 2 finale, it is revealed that he's the nephew of singer Gladys Knight. He decides to join his aunt on tour but returns to work for Season 3. In Season 5, when Danny accepts the job as President of Operations for the Casino, Mike is promoted to head of safety and surveillance. Whenever approaching a wonderful lady, he first makes use of breath spray.
When it opened in 1958, the Stardust was the most important casino resort in Las Vegas. It was operated by men associated with Chicago and Cleveland crime syndicates. Steve Fischer thought the Casino home was positioned on the seventeenth hole of the Desert Inn Golf Course and had been demolished to make means for Steve Wynn's $US2.7 billion Wynn Las Vegas growth. In making an attempt to confirm that, a really helpful soul at the Nevada Film Office confided that the home was still very a lot in existence, a little additional east on the sting of the Las Vegas National Golf Course. Don Rickles (Billy Sherbert, Tangiers Casino Manager and proper-hand to Sam "Ace" Rothstein) also appeared on the actual-life The Frank Rosenthal Show reverse Frank Sinatra throughout his time as a Las Vegas performer.
With its shiny, colourful lights and over-the-prime structure, it's no wonder that Las Vegas provides the last word backdrop for movies. Frequently starring in blockbuster movies, the Las Vegas Strip is as well-known and iconic as a lot of the prominent actors and actresses who've filmed here, which makes it the perfect holiday destination สูตรบาคาร่า gclub for all movie buffs like me. Everything you should find out about permits, charges and filming on the Las Vegas Strip together with an entire record of statewide contact information. It's too unhealthy you didn't snap some photographs of the old Riviera, because that was the placement for much of the interior casino photographs.
As you may or may not know, the Riviera is the newest victim of "Implosion Fever" and has simply been erased from the North Strip. The Riv was the final โปรโมชั่น goldenslot remaining unique resort construction left, aside from components of the Tropicana further South.
Following the death of her ex-husband Casey in a freak fishing accident (he's later revealed to have been poisoned), Sam is left management of the casino. She becomes the newest former proprietor of the Montecito after failing to pay the back taxes owed on the property.
With its 1,000 visitor rooms, it was bigger than any lodge beforehand opened in Las Vegas. Its sixteen,000-sq.-foot on line casino was immense for its time, and the 140-foot bar that ran alongside a lot of its east wall was the forerunner of The D's present-day Longbar in downtown Las Vegas. The Securities and Exchange Commission, along along with his penchant for top-stakes craps-taking part in, impeded however never stopped Cornero's progress. Construction of the Stardust, planned to have 1,000 hotel rooms, was nicely on its means in 1955. But the Nevada Gaming Commission, seeing Cornero's background as unsuitable, refused to grant him a gaming license.
After Delinda intervenes, Sam and Cooper work issues out over a milkshake, bowling, beers, and cigars, and Cooper agrees to rehire Sam. In the season-5 finale, Casey Manning's youthful brother Vic Manning visits the Montecito to take over the ownership of the casino. At the top of the present, Sam and Vic are said to plan to get married.
When requested why Sam wants to marry Vic – she all the time stated she did not have emotions for him, though he loved her – she says it is as a result of Vic understands her and will not attempt to change her; plus, he reminds her of Casey. Mike Cannon (James Lesure) is an engineer, with both undergraduate and graduate degrees from MIT in mechanical engineering. He works as head valet for the first season, but is formally recruited by Ed Deline to the safety division to help throughout Danny's navy absence. He stays on as security personnel despite being paid lower than his job as a valet. Originally, within the pilot episode, Mike has a spouse and daughter; this plot line is seemingly abandoned thereafter.
Mary is hiding from the legislation for her half in her father's homicide, but is seemingly safe, as she sends Danny a photograph with a house and white picket fence (her dream home). Samantha Jane "Sam" Marquez (Vanessa Marcil) is the self-proclaimed best casino host in the world. She lives in a Montecito suite, and is portrayed as a ruthless businessperson whose sole interest is to get excessive rollers to play at the Montecito. She is also concerned in an on-and-off relationship with Det. Woody Hoyt from Crossing Jordan, which ends officially primarily based on the events from season-4 episode, "History of Violins". From "The Burning Bedouin", she is seen to be presently in love with and waiting for Jeremy, who fell right into a 20-yr coma after falling off a stool at a slot machine; he's the man who first brought her to Las Vegas from Austin, Texas.
A Las Vegas native, her father sexually abused her when she was a child, and Danny at all times got here to her rescue. In season 4, she helps her stepmother and half sisters testify in opposition to her father – a case which is lost because of his connections. In the episode "Bare Chested in the Park", she is shown purchasing a revolver to shoot her father in the season-4 finale. She is involved in a relationship with Danny, who proposes to her in season two – she accepts, then later calls off the engagement.

I would like to suggest that a new category "Hardware" would be useful for discussing hardware, interfacing, sensors etc. What do others think?
Ah well! No others apart from the likers.
Sorry, I missed your post the first time around. Happy to create the category when I'm next near my laptop to do it. Not sure when that will be now .
@knolleary Excellent. What is your philosophy on changing categories retroactively? There have been quite a few posts recently on Modbus issues (for example) that might belong in the "hardware" category.
Where appropriate we do move posts. As usual though Modbus itself is (to my mind) more software than hardware - though intimately tied to hardware I grant you... - I was think more along the lines of sensors and how to connect my xyz esp sonoff chip, how to control leds etc.. - but yeah - can move any we feel would benefit.
"Share your..." categories are meant for announcements and gallery of completed works. Hardware (and others) for questions and usual chat.
Agreed, but some of us fall so far behind in our reading that having categories can help set priorities. I welcome new (well-defined) categories, if they help turn the General one into more of a "general interest" category and less of a catch-all for things that don't fit elsewhere.
Very true Mike, I spent a day getting Linux set up on a new Laptop (convertible) and now have to get through lots of new posts.

Transparency is calling on Foreign Affairs to clarify when Ghali was approved to enter Spain
You must also state what instructions were given to border control security forces to allow him entry
The Council for Transparency and Good Governance (CTBG) has asked the Foreign Ministry to report the dates on which Polisario Front leader Brahim Ghali was authorized to enter Spain in 2021, as well as the instructions they gave to the security forces issued responsible for border control to allow their entry.
This independent authority, in its resolution collected by Europa Press, points out that in January 2022, the department headed by José Manuel Albares rejected an applicant's application on the grounds that the matter of Ghali's entry into Spain "is the subject of an investigation by the court of instruction number 7 of Zaragoza".
Foreign Affairs was aware that in this case there were limitations on access to information and a duty of confidentiality under Article 14.1 of the Transparency Act and with 304 of the Criminal Procedure Code (LECrim).
It is recalled that in June this year, the head of the Investigative Court No. 7 of Zaragoza, Rafael Lasala, agreed to extend the investigation into the so-called "Ghali case" for another six months and redirect it to the forged passport used, to identify the leader of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, upon his arrival at San Pedro Hospital in Logroño. She took this decision after the Zaragoza Provincial Court ordered the files of the investigation into former Foreign Minister Arancha González Laya.
THE CONDITION OF SUMMARY
DOCUMENTS PREPARED IN THE PROCESS
THE ARRIVAL OF GHALI
Dissatisfied with Foreign Affairs' response, the complainant filed a complaint with the Transparency Council, claiming that the LECrim Article was not applicable in this case. And on the procedural proviso, he complained that the ministry had not presented any evidence for this, "nor a court order that expressly declares the complete or partial secrecy of the procedure".
He recalled that the matter was constantly in the press, noting that everything from resolutions to videos of the testimonies had been made public: "Since this summary is not secret, there is therefore no impediment to not providing the information ."
After receiving the Transparency file, the Ministry maintained its thesis, recalling that "the content of the summary procedure is reserved by law and the information requested is also the subject of such a procedure".
"The disclosure of information outside the core of the investigation is detrimental both to the parties themselves and to the investigating body, as it omits the assessment of relevance that it has made and is undoubtedly detrimental to those who have no opportunity to challenge the contribution of the above information," he explained, claiming that the dynamics of the statement would be broken.
In its response, Albares' department added that in the case of Ghali's entry – who landed from Algeria based in Zaragoza and was transferred to La Rioja to be treated for illnesses caused by Covid – this information should be offered imply that "the guarantee of confidentiality or secrecy required in decision-making processes is compromised".
Thus, from foreign policy, they concerned what they had already said in the inquiry before Judge Rafael Lasala: "Certain information could not be broken down because it constitutes an official secret classified as such by virtue of the agreement of the Council of Ministers on October 15, 2010 , which declares a number of matters secret". And they warned that their disclosure would therefore constitute a violation of Law 9/1968, of April 5, on official secrets.
This point was later refuted by the complainant before Transparency, arguing that there was "no specific declaration of official secrecy" in this matter.
Transparency shows that there is already a consolidated criterion according to which "the violation of the equality of the parties and of effective judicial protection are linked to the mere existence of a judicial proceeding, without being able to justify the extent to which knowledge of the information requested can be such a disadvantage cause, are not sufficient to justify the refusal of access under the law".
It also recalls that the restriction of access to information related to ongoing court proceedings is usually limited to documents drawn up expressly for the purpose of the proceedings and notes that this is not the case.
Regarding the duty of secrecy of acts in court proceedings, the secrecy of the summary, the Transparency Council states that the content of a summary "has a limited scope and cannot be extended to any document relating to the case, except that of the investigating magistrate so expressly ordered".
It adds that the request for information in this case does not consist in obtaining "procedures" or knowing of acts, but rather in knowing of "public information".
As to whether it is an official secret, this independent administrative authority states that the ministry "has not demonstrated how the confidentiality of the decision-making process could be compromised in the event that the requested information was provided".
"Especially if we take into account that more than a year has passed since Brahim Ghali entered Spain, which would determine the loss of the allegedly confidential nature of the information, which, we repeat, has not been proven," he says.
The leader of the Polisario Front arrived on April 18 in an Algerian plane at Zaragoza Air Base without going through border controls or papers, from where he went in an ambulance to San Pedro de Logroño Hospital, a health center where he was hospitalized the name Mohamed Benbatouche, who is to be treated for illnesses related to Covid-19, was included. Ghali's presence in Spain provoked a protest from Morocco.
On June 2, he left the country from Pamplona after testifying via videoconference before Supreme Court Judge Santiago Pedraz on several lawsuits filed against him over alleged human rights abuses in the Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf.

I used to be a hands-off homework parent, unless asked for help. And although this approach is being championed in the media lately, in my instance, it was born less of philosophy, and more of happenstance. My kids are blessed with high intelligence, and are without major learning impediments. The grade school years have been a blissful, battle-free zone, as far as homework goes. We've all enjoyed coasting.
As my older boys have risen through the secondary grades, this lofty ground has become quite a bit rockier. My high school freshman and I frequently battle over homework, and I was a bit worried about expanding the war to a new front when we were offered the chance for him to use TestRocker, an online study aid for college entrance exams.
So it's a considerable endorsement of the program to say that he has progressed over a month into the study plan without me nagging, threatening, or having to utter dire predictions for his future. It doesn't hurt that I have subcontracted him for this series of reports, and there's a paycheck dangling ahead, but nobody's paying him not to complain when I remind him to put the time in.
When he started the study plan, I showed him that he would need to put in an hour a day, five days a week, to avoid studying on weekends and over the holidays. When he logged in last week, it was apparent that he's got some catching up to do.
We can place a chunk of the blame on the kids' laptop being out for repair for several weeks. Mine is a jalopy, and doing anything on it is a hassle. But it's also due to a strong inherited resistance to routine. We're hares, not tortoises. A lot of the heat that comes from our homework flare-ups is fueled by my own painful experience.
Anyway, we recalculated, and agreed that he could make up lost ground with a couple of extended sessions over the holidays. Then he showed me around the site. This is an example of the math module. I can't tell you what any of it means, but he likes the format a lot. He especially appreciates the instant feedback when he makes an error, and the quick access to concept teaching. Everything is immediate and to the point.
Watching him interact with the program is illuminating, and makes me wonder how far his regular curriculum still has to go to catch up with the way kids of this generation have grown up processing information. There's no substitute in this world for the personal instruction of a charismatic teacher, in my opinion, but maybe homework could be made more dynamic with creative digital interfaces like this one.
I'm also revisiting some of my homework rules based on our TestRocker experience. Because it's "extra" study, I've been very laid back about letting him do it with music or the TV on. As skeptical as I am about the neutral impact he claims that "How I Met Your Mother" reruns have on his attention, the impact on his willingness to spend time studying is a positive. Maybe we can find a compromise between doing homework my way or no way. Who knows? If he aces this ACT, maybe I'll even reconsider my horror of paying for grades.
I'd love to know your approach to kids' study habits and homework time. What are some of the lessons you've carried into adulthood from your own school days, for better or for worse?
I'm very happy to disclose that TestRocker is providing my son with six months of access to a customized ACT study plan, and sponsoring a series of posts about the experience. All opinions are mine and his. Get a sneak peak of TestRocker's SAT & ACT programs by taking a free Diagnostic Test, previewing your study plan, and attempting some of the free questions (no credit card required).
My kids are now in college and the older one did her homework on her own except if she wanted me to help edit something or look something over. I was totally willing to help her with all of that. The younger one has a learning disability and had to have an adult read out loud to her or have the book on tape all through middle school. In high school she was required to have an editor and in the beginning I was it, then she found a teacher to help her edit her work.
Both girls are super motivated and we found we had to require that they do things other than homework. However, we did find when applying to colleges grades equal money-meaning the better the grades the more money they knock off your tuition.
Good luck going through the school years!

Ontario Taking Next Steps to Integrate Health Care System
Changes will Protect Uninterrupted Access to Patient Care
November 13, 2019 9:30 A.M. Ministry of Health
TORONTO — Ontario is taking the next steps in its plan to better integrate the province's health care system to help end hallway health care.
On December 2, 2019, five provincial agencies will begin transferring into Ontario Health while the 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) have been clustered into five interim and transitional geographic regions.
This is an administrative step only and not a merger of the LHIN boundaries. Further, there will be no impact to patients' access to home and community care or long-term care placement as Ontarians continue to receive the care they need from the care providers they have built relationships with at the 14 LHINs. These changes are a means of streamlining the regional oversight as an interim measure as the government continues to work toward moving home and community care supports out of bureaucracy to integrate them with Ontario Health Teams.
"Our government has said from the beginning that we are working toward ending hallway health care," said Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario. "In order to bring our world-class health care system into the 21st century, we need to get rid of the inefficiencies and back office duplication. This is how we are continuing to put patients first and ensure sustainability for future generations."
As part of this next step to cluster the LHINs, the number of chief executive officer (CEO) positions has been reduced to five to ensure alignment and to eliminate duplication of roles and responsibilities. These five CEOs will now serve as interim regional leads and will be responsible for supporting the work required to transition LHIN functions into Ontario Health or to Ontario Health Teams, and to ensure that patient services continue uninterrupted. The money saved from this change will be redirected into frontline patient care.
"As we take the next steps to integrate Ontario's health care system, continuity of patient care remains our top priority," said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. "This transfer will combine the knowledge, strength and expertise of many talented professionals under one roof as part of our plan to better coordinate and connect Ontario's health care system to end hallway health care. We would like to acknowledge and thank the LHIN executive leadership for the ongoing professionalism, dedication and support as the government continues to modernize and strengthen Ontario's health care system."
"Ontario Health's goal is to ensure Ontarians receive high-quality health care services where and when they need them," said Bill Hatanaka, Ontario Health Board Chair. "On December 2, we bring the knowledge, skills and experience of this first wave of transferring organizations into Ontario Health and begin working with the five interim regional leads too. We are building our talent base to become one agency with one strategy and one set of priorities; applying the best of our collective expertise to all Ontario patients."
The five agencies transferring into Ontario Health are: Cancer Care Ontario; Health Quality Ontario; eHealth Ontario; Health Shared Services Ontario; and HealthForceOntario Marketing and Recruitment Agency.
The 14 LHINs have been clustered into five interim geographic regions and will be led by five transitional regional leads. The new appointees are: Bruce Lauckner (West), Scott McLeod (Central), Tess Romain (Toronto), Renato Discenza (East), and Rhonda Crocker Ellacott (North).
Trillium Gift of Life Network will transfer in at a later date to ensure there will be no disruption to patients and families involved with organ and tissue donation.
LHIN functions will eventually transition into Ontario Health or to local Ontario Health Teams over time based on a careful plan the ministry is developing with Ontario Health and LHINs.
