Summary and analysis:
The meaning of the word belonging varies from person-to-person. A person’s life experience, childhood, culture, social setting, and self-esteem can all shape how they experience “belonging”. A sense of belonging allows one to feel connected to individuals, places, communities, and the world. On the contrary, not feeling a sense of belonging can cause a person to feel isolated, depressed, and worthless. The need for belonging is a valid and essential feeling. An inner sense of belonging can externally push us to connect with others.

The director of Belonging, Pierre Ieong, gives us the point of view of a young Syrian refugee named George Gabonian. As a child, George enjoyed discovering the outdoors with his boy scout brothers. But after the violent death of his father during the Syrian war, fleeing Syria, and relocating to Paris, George felt isolated in such a big and foreign city and yearned to feel a sense of belonging. To illustrate his feelings, the director contrasted George’s memories as a boy scout to the new memories that he is making in his international class at school and how they both helped to bring balance during a chaotic time. As a boy scout, George was surrounded by boys from different backgrounds and they all shared one common objective. In George’s international class, all the students came from different countries and all share a common objective as well. Now that George is part of this class, he feels a sense of stability which was similar to his experience as a boy scout. This stability brought him a level of comfort and happiness.

A sense of belonging to a community improves your inspiration, wellbeing, and confidence. This is proven when George comes to the realization that “[w]e all come from different places, united here with a common objective.” Being accepted by others will help you realize that all individuals experience similar struggles and emotions. There is comfort in knowing that you are surrounded by other people who genuinely accept you and care for your well-being. In addition to the stability brought on by the familiarity of his new classmates, being connected to a community, helps to validate his sense of belonging.

As people, we crave and need to feel like we are part of something, and that feeling is the thing that connects us to the numerous experiences and relationships we create. A connection between individuals can help build love, inspiration, spark fear and challenge us. At the end of Belonging, George concludes that “[a]lthough we’re out of our homes, in the wild, we’ve got each other’s backs.” He is commenting on the reality that we all live in somewhat of chaos and the connection to others and sometimes places is what balances us. That sense of comfort when we realize that we have others around us who share our objectives and fears--that’s belonging.

Pierre Ieong has published five short films from 2014-2019. Ieong uses specific mises en scène to aid us in visualizing the emotions that his characters are feeling. In Belonging, George narrates his story while the director uses shots of landscapes, weather, and objects to symbolize his emotions. Specifically, in this video, the director uses the contrast between the natural world versus the urban world. The clash between the city and the nature shots are descriptive and help to tell George’s story of loss, change and eventually, belonging.

Some examples of these are: when George said that he felt scared, the director showed a shot of a crane that was very high in the air to symbolize fear of heights; this gave the viewer the impression of George’s fear caused by the chaos in his home and the traumatic change that happens when his father is killed. When George mentioned that he felt lost, the director showed a scene of him being surrounded by many people walking in different directions---surrounded by people but still feeling lost. The image itself strongly suggests the isolation felt by George. Other examples include, scenes of George laughing and eating with his fellow boy scouts reflected the happiness that George felt when he was part of a community versus scenes of George alone on the subway and walking the streets in Paris demonstrated his feeling of isolation although he was surrounded by lots of people.

To further illustrate the loss felt by George, leong takes us to his experience with his mother at a kitchen table and it strikes as sadness, while his meal with his friends is full of laughter and joy. The sharp contrast displays the pain of loss. The scenes that follow, with his boy scout and new friends, full of lights and vivid scenery displays the happiness that balances his loss. Throughout the film, leong pushes these stark differences in scenery that help tell the story and takes the viewer on the emotional ride of George’s life.

Critical thinking questions:

 * 1) Relationships and experiences can shape an individual’s sense of belonging. To what extent does the film support this idea?
 * 2) In the film, there is a major contrast between the shots where George is surrounded by greenery and nature versus the traffic and the big city. Towards the end, the scenes of George and his classmates are shot outdoors. How does this contrast in scenery represent George’s outlook on life?

Biography
The world knows her by the name Dickinson. She is famous for her poetry. Her full name is Emily Elizabeth Dickinson. She was born on December 10, 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts in a prominent family. She used to go to the Amherst Academy when she was little. Then she attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. She started writing poetry from an early age. She lived her life in isolation. She never married. When her father died from a stroke, she did not attend his funeral. After her death on May 15, 1886 her younger sister Lavinia discovered her poems. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, though both heavily edited the content. An article from the New York Times revealed that some of Dickinson’s poems were about her sister-in-law Susan Huntington Gilbert Dickinson who was also a poet. Though we didn’t get to read the original writings of Emily’s poem, we still like the poems as they are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Dickinson

Background Information
These are some of my favorite poems by Emily Dickinson. In these poems Dickinson tells about the feelings that we feel when we lose someone. How death is related to our life. Even after losing someone, we carry a part of them. We carry their memories. She also tells us how a person’s life experience can change him completely. These little details are what I liked about Dickinson’s poetry.

Poems by Emily Dickinson
The Bustle in the House

The bustle in a house

The morning after death

Is solemnest of industries

Enacted upon earth, —

The sweeping up the heart,

And putting love away

We shall not want to use again

Until eternity.

If I can Stop One Heart from Breaking

If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain;

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain.

Each that we lose takes part of us

Each that we lose takes part of us

A crescent still abides,

Which like the moon, some turbid night,

Is summoned by the tides.

Analysis of these poems:
The first poem “Bustle in the House” is about the brief, busy, suspended period of time between the death of a loved one and the private grief that follows. Dickinson describes this feeling, this grief so perfectly in this poem that it feels like I am the one grieving and I am the one who is experiencing this emotional collapse.

The second poem, “If I can Stop One Heart from Breaking,” is about selfless love where the speaker expresses how helping others matter. For example, the speaker wants to help a fainting Robin back into the nest. This kind of selfless love and kindness can easily change anyone’s mind. The message of this poem is how kindness can help another human and save their life.

“Each that we lose takes part of us” tells us how we carry a portion of our loved one’s when they die. Their death maybe physical but a small portion(crescent) remains inside all of us. She also describes the grief as the moon on a turbid night. She uses these analogies so nicely that it describes the feeling very deeply.

These little details inspired me to write a poem about death and the pain of losing someone.

Poem written by me
Pain of Losing Her

Why do I feel pain?

Is it because death took Elaine?

Dying is a wild night –

And a new road

You’ll have to die –

Just like a toad.

Now that I’ve lost her

I am all alone,

You can do nothing –

But to write her name in a goldstone.

Why do we have one life?

Why doesn’t it repeat?

That it will never come again –

Is what makes life so sweet.

Analysis of my poem
In the first stanza the speaker talks with another person about the feeling about losing someone. The speaker loves a girl named Elaine. She died and because of this he is feeling lost and pain. The other speaker is comforting him by telling him that everyone has to die just like all the animals(toad) on earth.

In the second stanza the speaker is feeling lonely and the other speaker is telling him that bringing her back is not possible. The only thing he can do is to write her name in a goldstone and remember her and carry her memories.

The last stanza talks about the meaning of life. The speaker wants to meet his lover if not in this life then in another. That’s why he says “Why do we have one life? Why doesn’t it repeat?” The other speaker tells him that because of us having only one life, our life is beautiful and that’s why we care for each other. That’s what makes life precious.

La Chambre à Arles (Bedroom in Arles), by Vincent van Gogh

Critical Thinking Questions
After reading these poems think about these questions:

* How does the speaker feel after losing his loved one?

* What is the message of the poem?

* How does it make you feel?

* What is your favorite thing about this poem?

* How is this relevant to your life?

Dickinson TV Series Review
Dickinson is a comedy-drama series based on the real-life events of the famous poet Emily Dickinson. This series has 10 episodes in season 1. The series tells the story of Emily’s life in a strict household and how her father Edward Dickinson, treats her. Hailee Steinfeld is cast as Emily Dickinson and Ella Hunt as Sue Gilbert. The series also has other actors: Adrian Enscoe, Anna Baryshnikov, Toby Huss, and many more. I recommend this show because it can teach us many things about Emily Dickinson, why she was inspired to write poems and how she passed her life in isolation. Hailee Steinfeld as Emily Dickinson recites some of the poems written by Dickinson herself which are relevant to the scenes and it gives a nice feeling hearing someone reciting Dickinson’s poems. This show is kind of fun because in some scenes Emily is seen to talk to a Bee, there’s another scene where Emily meets Death (Wiz Khalifa). This show also shows the relationship between her and Sue Gilbert. I liked the show because of the cast and because I prefer a visual story rather than read a whole biography.

Summary: “The Night Came Slowly “by Kate Chopin is a narrative that reflects on a woman’s admiration for the night. She has lost her interest in books and men and feels that the night can speak and teach her more than a either of them could. She is fascinated by the attributes of the night and what it can show her. Thesis: In her narrative “The Night Came Slowly”, Kate Chopin’s narrator transmits that it is better to interact with the night and its elements rather than with human beings.

The main character speaks very highly of the night. In the narrative she says, “The night is solemn, and it means mystery.” By describing the night as solemn, the darkness allows her to see the night as something that should be valued and admire even though is dark which is why she describes it as a mystery. The Darkness of the night allows for there to be mystery, looming as so much can happen in the night without being seem in comparison to daytime. Here we see an instance of personification as the night is being compared to the “fool” human as described above. The main character sees the night in such a way that is better than a human. She isolates herself to allow for her to be alone and encompass herself in the night as it is her preference.

Glossary:

Katydids: Large group of insects in the order Orthoptera, related to grasshoppers.

Solemn: Word to describe anything that’s really serious and dignified.

Maple Tree: Symbolize balance, offering, practical magic, promise, longevity, generosity, and intelligence.

Necromancer: Conjuration of spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future.

Depression: Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest

Isolation: The state of being in a place or situation that is separate from others: the condition of being isolated

Disappointment: Sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one's hopes or expectations.

In the article
Hello and happy new year 2019, I am also part of SWMT and patrol in this article. My editions on this page seem correct to me, but you have canceled them. Consider these two sentences with highlighting : The Sentence 1 is JackPotte's sentence (also an administrator on this site) and identical to mine. Sentence 2 is that of 2405:205:4213:4206::15f8:e8a4 (so an anonymous user) and identical to yours. In enWikibooks, the rules for one version or another of the sentence is based on English rules or simple english rules and GIMP/Manual Of Style for this book (GIMP). I repeat here the dependencies rules used in this page :
 * 1) To put the tool on the panel go to  " Edit > Preferences > Toolbox "  .
 * 2) To put the tool on the panel go to  " Edit > Preferences > Toolbox .
 * The other formatting of the book. Another sentence on the same page gives the procedure to follow:
 * "Shortcuts written here are the default values - you can change them any time in "Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts" or "Edit > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts". So it's a format of emphasis;

 * Quotation marks (en or simple): it goes in pairs;
 * Punctuation inside or outside and Effect on nearby punctuation (en or simple)
 * "Do not italicize surrounding punctuation";
 * "If the quotation is a single word or a sentence fragment, place the terminal punctuation outside the closing quotation mark."

In view of the above, I urge you to read POV. In Reviewing pages, if the last modification is not correct, do not remove all pending changes. The summary "Semicolon" of 2405:205:4213:4206::15f8:e8a4 has nothing to do with its modification. If you feel that my modification bothers you, I will ask you to comment on it before canceling. I think you hastily canceled my last change, so I put it back. can also review this page again and give us his opinion. Looking forward to reading you. Sincerely --Eihel (discuss • contribs) 06:17, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Watching this only, just to comment that this is not a small wiki as there are checkuser, so a summary of SMWT may not be appropriate. As of why there isn't a summary given, this wiki operates on flagged revisions which means if the intermediate changes are cancelled, it will be an automatic process and no summary will be given. The best place to ask for comment may be on the book discussion page and it may be best to consult the manual of style of similar books as there isn't a standard manual of style. The best is to compare the author of the book style and the current style. I'm also from SWMT. Regards and thanks for your efforts.--Cohaf (discuss • contribs) 06:50, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your intervention. Perfectly in agreement, the style of the book is the same as mine: the other phrase identical to mine in the book proves it. To prove also that I understand enWikibooks, I include the links of the rules of style above. For my SWMT intervention, I simply follow the links given in #cvn-sw, whether the wiki is large or small. Vandalism is vandalism wherever it is. You can close the debate by re-reading the article. Cordially. --Eihel (discuss • contribs) 07:14, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I see that Jack has accepted your changes. I see that the style is consistent with the book style which is correct to revert to the edition you proposed. For SMWT, I agree it's vandalism anywhere it is, but I personally don't use SMWT tag on wikis that are large, especially Spanish Wikipedia and like. I do not like to be misunderstood as belittling the Wikipedia. Regards,--Cohaf (discuss • contribs) 07:39, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Hey and sorry for any misunderstandings, but sometimes, Wikibooks' rejecting system can be complicated. If I had accepted your revision, then this edit would've been accepted. Don't take it personally that your edit was one of those edits rejected, I was returning the page back to its "old self" (so to say), which I percieved to be as free of any grammatical errors/vandalism. I didn't specifically see the small error that ""Edit > Preferences > Toolbox." posed. Stuff like this happens all the time. Here in this revision, I am reverting changes made by a sysop and beauracrat here because his edits were in conflict with another user's edits to in which I deemed were inappropriate to the page (so I simply reverted to the page before all those changes even happened).

I think there was no need for this huge discussion over just a small tweak. If it really was a big deal, I would've left a message on your talk page. I think just making your change to the page, which was a small grammar fix, and moving on would've sufficied for this situation. EDIT: Though I will admit, I should've reverted the IP's edits and then acccepted the revision -- but with so many revisions to accept (I have about 20 tabs open just to accept changes sometimes) it can get pretty tedious and I might just go fast. Thanks. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 11:58, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Chess Guide for Intermediate Player Question
Hey. I've completed the first chapter of my book, so can I remove that "stub" template now?

(Trying to be politely)
 * On an immediate glance of the main-page, it seems like it still merits a "stub" template. There only seems to be three pages (blue links, I should say) out of 21 pages listed at the Table of Contents. IMO 3/21 pages seem like a draft, but you don't have to listen to my comment. If you'd like, you can remove it. It's really up to you. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 11:59, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi I see you reverted an edit of mine Kitwallace2on this wikibook. I'm ChrisWallace(new login) who started this book 12 years ago with Dmccreary. Many of the examples are out of date and/or run on an obsolete server and I'm beginning a long overdue task of refreshing the book. Thus there will be a number of substantive changes over the next few months.
 * Sorry. I saw that you linked a website which held a similar name to your username, so I thought it was another case of an advertiser arriving to Wikibooks in order to promote their website.

Spanish Grammar
Hi a book I created, Spanish Grammar was deleted by you, as another page Spanish/Grammar/Index already exists. The page that already exists is a sub page of a text book about Spanish language learning.

The topic of Spanish Grammar is large enough to warrant its own book, rather than a sub section on another book. Can the pages be merged or the Spanish Grammar book undeleted? Thanks. Caitlinschultz (discuss • contribs) 16:31, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't see the problem with expanding upon the existing page, Spanish/Grammar Index. It's a subpage of the general book Spanish so that users who are going straight to Spanish can easily find information about grammar. --—Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 16:35, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

A heartfelt apology
Dear Atcovi, I'm really sorry with messing with the Asian article, I'm new here and when I saw the Asian article I was intrigued to learn more and when I saw orangutan spelt oran gutan. I wanted to help fix it but I mistakenly corrected the wrong thing and trying to fix that i made everything worse. I would have come to you if I knew you were the editor. I am truly sorry. That's why when I got a notification that you had already corrected the issue I was honestly grateful and thanked you. Please do not be angry at me.

 * Oh don't be sorry everyone makes mistakes. I understand your new to our community and that's totally fine :-) Your edits made to Wikijunior:Asia ended up removing one of the images, hence why I rejected your changes. We have Sandbox where you're encouraged to experiment with wikitext and other such tests you may wish to make - also, make sure to read thoroughly the welcome message I put on your talk page (as that contains many useful info). But don't worry about, no one here is angry and we all make mistakes. If you need any help you're free to ask me. Thanks! —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 15:45, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Moving Wikibook Page
Hello, I don't understand how you moved my page Robust Hinf state feedback control: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LMIs_in_Control/Robust_H_inf_State_Feedback_Control but I need you to move it back. Thank you. Nnbeauli (discuss
 * - Hi, is your page not part of "LMIs in Control"? I'm assuming this because of this section saying to "refer back to the main page" (with a link to the LMIs in Control book). I moved your page because it was in the main space and was not part of a book (and therefore, a "lonely" page - it makes your page harder to find by readers). I moved it into the "LMIs in Control" book because I can see that your page is related to that topic. If this is not where you want your page to be under, where should it be under then? —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 16:28, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * - Yes, it should be in that book but it should be under the robustness section. I thought this is where I had put it. I am new to using wikibooks so could you share how to place it in the correct spot so I can place pages correctly in the future? I tried looking up how to move a page but I don't seem to have the "move" option or I just can't find it. Thank you.
 * I've moved your page as "LMIs in Control/Robustness/Robust H inf State Feedback Control" - now that it has the words, "LMIs in Control/Robustness", in front of it... it is now under that page (thus under the "robustness section"). In the future, if you want to create pages under a certain section, you create the page titles as so: put the section's page title (in this case, "LMIs in Control/Robustness") - afterwards, you put a "/" and your title follows afterwards (in this case, "/Robust H inf State Feedback Control"). For the move function, here's information on the move button on en.wikipedia. Thank you :) —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 01:36, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks like your user account here is only a day or two old. I think the wiki platform doesn't allow you to move pages until your account is a few days old (maybe four?).  That would explain why you didn't find any controls for doing a page move. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 03:22, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

A-level Biology/Microbiology and Biotechnology

Introduction to Microbiology
Microbiology is the study of the organisms in the surrounding environment which are too small to be clearly visible with our naked eye when observed individually. These organisms are called '"microorganisms"' and can only be observed through microscopes. Microorganisms are less than 0.1mm in size, which means that they are smaller in size than the visual range of humans. Microorganisms can be found everywhere on the planet Earth. They are the most abundant and diverse group of organisms on Earth. Many different groups of microorganisms currently inhabit the Earth. They possess different adaptations, specialized and differentiated functions, various forms and structures, different shapes and sizes, and numerous habitats to ensure their survival and existence on Earth. Some of the different groups of microorganisms are Bacteria, Archaea Bacteria, Cyanobacteria or Blue Green Bacteria, Protists, Algae, Fungi, Mollicutes (Mycoplasmas and Phytoplasmas), Viruses, Viroids, and Prions.

The units which are used to measure the microorganisms and their structural components are nanometers and micrometers. Due to the larger sizes of some microorganisms, they are more readily visible than the other smaller types of microorganisms. Microorganisms are found everywhere on the earth including in soil, water, air, in interior surfaces and on exterior surfaces of the earth.

Most of the microorganisms act as the primary producers of the food chains in the fresh and marine water habitats, as most of them possess the ability to perform photosynthesis. Therefore, they form the basis of the food chains in the aquatic water bodies.

Saprotrophs and Saprophytes
The microorganisms that live in the soil, which are commonly known as the soil microorganisms possess the ability to decompose and digest the waste products and materials in the environment and also assist in the recycling of the chemical elements and compounds in between the soil, water, air and the living organisms. These soil microorganisms decompose complex organic matter into simple organic matter and then into simple organic and inorganic molecules and after that, into their constituent most basic elements either by physical breakdown or by biochemical transformation of these complex compounds. These organisms, called Saprotrophs or Saprophytes, cannot produce their own food and instead feed on the non-living, dead, organic, decaying and waste matter in order to survive. Most of the Fungi such as Rhizopus, Mucor, Agaricus, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Morchella and Saccharomyces (Yeast), some bacteria such as soil bacteria, some protozoans and some algal species such as photosynthetic algae, like green algae, exhibit saprophytic mode of nutrition.

Bioaerosols and Pathogens
Some microorganisms are suspended and released into the atmosphere as bioaerosols, possessing the capability to travel and spread long distances with the help of the wind current and precipitation. These bioaerosols are composed of bacterial cells, their cellular fragments and remnants, fungal spores and their hyphae, viral particles, viroids, mollicutes, prions, their metabolic waste and by-products. Therefore, the pathogenic bioaerosols are capable of transmitting and spreading of most of the infectious diseases in living organisms. Only a trace number of microorganisms which are associated with the other living organisms such as plants, animals and human beings are pathogenic and cause infectious diseases. The majority of the microorganisms are beneficial and harmless to other organisms, but some are very harmful, causing infectious diseases.

Extremophiles
Some of the microorganisms are well adapted to inhabit the extreme environmental conditions which are unfavourable and can even be lethal for the other living organisms. These microorganisms are known as extremophiles. These extremophiles can be discovered inside the crust of the Earth, in the deepest seas at high pressures, in extremely acidic or in extremely basic conditions, in hydrothermal and alkaline vents, in frozen sea water, in volcanoes, in hot water springs, in the upper atmosphere and in outer space.

History of video games/Cheating

1980s
In 1985 the Konami Code is introduced to help test Gradius, later finding it's way into other games and products as a code to activate cheats or easter eggs.

2000s
In May 2002 the television show Cheat! begins airing on the G4 network, sharing video game cheats on TV.

Pokémon Go
In March 2016 the popular game Pokémon Go begins to use OpenStreetMap, an open source map anyone can edit, as a data source. Players quickly discover that changes in OpenStreetMap affect Pokémon Go gameplay. Vandalism of the map for in game advantage is quickly countered by users engaging in anti vandalism activities. As a result of vandalism on an open dataset, researchers were able to analyze such vandalism in depth.

Irish/Unit 1/Lesson 4

In this lesson, you will learn about:
 * The consonants d, f, ch, and p
 * Forming sentences with "tá" and "is"
 * Prothesis, an initial mutation affecting vowels

Forming Sentences with "Tá" and "Is"
English uses "is", and the other forms of the verb to be, to form many kinds of sentences. For some types of "is" sentences, Irish uses its own form of the verb to be. For others, it uses a different construction, called a "copula" (in Irish, "an chopail").

Let's look at each type of sentence first. Then we'll talk about when to use each of them.

Using Tá (is, are)
We've learned that, to make a simple sentence in Irish, you use the order "verb-subject-object":

The same principles apply when the sentence uses the verb to be. To translate the English sentence:

you would say, in Irish:

The verb tá comes first, like the verb léann did in our earlier example, but don't be confused by the English equivalents: in Irish this is a statement, not a question.

Tá is the present tense of the Irish verb to be, bí, and translates to "is" or "are". Here are a few more examples:

Using the Copula
Sometimes, where English would use the verb to be, Irish instead uses a construction called the copula. The particle indicating a copula (in the present tense) is is. This can be confusing to English speakers: although it looks like the English verb to be "is", the Irish particle is is not a form of any verb.

Sentences with is use a different word order than sentences using tá. As an example, let's look at two sentences where the subject is mé, the Irish word for "I" or "me".

The first sentence, with tá, follows the standard Irish V-S-O word order. In the second, the subject comes last.

Which to Use When
So when should you use tá and when should you use is? These two constructions are very different in the Irish language and a native speaker would never confuse them.

Uses of the Copula
The use of the copula is limited in Irish to the following, specific, yet frequently occurring uses:

 * coupling of the predicate noun and the subject in classificatory and identificatory clauses e.g.

'''Is dochtúir í Niamh. = Niamh is a doctor.'''

'''Is é an dochtúir í. = She is the doctor.'''

 * certain adjective uses, especially modal verb-like uses with prepositions le, do , etc. e.g.:

'''Is maith le Niamh an leabhar. = Niamh likes the book.'''

 * adjectives of subjective assessment and of equivalence . e.g.:

Is ionann iad = They are the same.

'''Is maith sin! = That is good!'''

 * Superlatives e.g.:

An fear is mó = the biggest man      (the man that is the biggest)

 * origin- and ownership (with the prepositions as, de, le) e.g.:

Is as Corcaigh é = He is from Cork.

'''Is le Niamh an carr. = The car belongs to Niamh/ It's Niamh's carr..'''

 * to emphasize single parts of speech and to loosen up the sentence structure (cleft- and pseudo-cleft clauses ) e.g.:

Is é an fear a dhéanann na bróga = He 's the man who makes the shoes. (That's the man who makes the shoes.)

 * full queries ( questions with interrogatives ). These always contain a copular construction, even if it's mostly not to be seen. e.g.:

'''Cé a rinne sin? = Who did that?''' (Who is it, that did that?)

Properties of the Copula
The copula exists only in 3 base forms:

 * 1) IS present tense (also future)               [No Lenition/ Eclipsis]
 * 2) BA preterite (imperfect, conditional)     [Causes Lenition]
 * 3) GURA subjunctive

The copula does not exist in the imperative.

The copula also has no "verbal noun". Instead, transcriptions with bí and the preposition i must be used.

e.g. Bí i d'fhear! = Be a man! [literally: Be in your man!]

bheith ina fhear = to be a man [literally: being in his man]

Copular forms are inflexible, and not conjugable. All forms are actually the 3rd person singular.

With Tá the subject pronouns sé, sí, síad follow the verb to mean he is, she is, or they are. After the copula however, personal pronouns of the 3rd person in their "object form" follow:

é, í, iad instead of sé, sí, siad

Tá sí go maith (She is well)

vs

Is cailín maith í (She is a good girl)

Certain different syntax rules apply. These follow also the basic syntax P-S-O:

In an Irish sentence, the predicate comes first, then the subject, then the object (P-S-O) Léann sí leabhar (She reads a book)

In copular clauses, the predicate is introduced by the copula. So: copula - predicate - subject. An object is not used. Is leabhar é (It's a book)

A Few More Consonants
Let's take a closer look at a few of the words we encountered above, and the last few common Irish consonants.

"House Taken Over" by Julio Cortázar. (Spanish version: https://ciudadseva.com/texto/casa-tomada/). (ENGLISH VERSION https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Pvb2qjVtuCNNtyTfCe9jYuMem4UjojtbKKPObuFxnPo/edit).

CONTEXT: Julio Cortázar (26 August 1914–12 February 1984) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julio_Cort%C3%A1zar ) was an Argentine writer and intellectual. Cortázar moved away from established conventions and literary models and specialized in narratives in the border between reality and fantasy. He studied the most mysterious aspects of daily life, always looking for novelty and a deep understanding of reality to innovate the literary ideas of his time.

SUMMARY: In this story, the narrator and his sister Irene have lived over thirty years in a large house passed down from generation to generation. They brother have devoted themselves entirely to taking care of their home and spend their days cleaning the house and cooking lunch and dinner. He also reads books; she knits. One day, the back of the house is “taken over.” Eventually, the brother and sister must leave the house because it has been taken over completely. QUOTES: " It was pleasant to take lunch and commune with the great hollow, silent house, and it was enough for us just to keep it clean. We ended up thinking, at times, that that was what had kept us from marrying”. ("Nos resultaba grato almorzar pensando en la casa profunda y silenciosa y cómo nos bastábamos para mantenerla limpia. A veces llegábamos a creer que era ella la que no nos dejó casarnos.") By personifying the house and describing it as a deep and quiet house, Cortázar explores the themes of isolation and loneliness. Irene and the narrator take refuge in the house and use it as an excuse to explain why they did not interact with more people. "We would die here someday, obscure and distant cousins would inherit the place, have it torn down, sell the bricks and get rich on the building plot; or more justly and better yet, we would topple it ourselves before it was too late." ("Nos moriríamos allí algún día, vagos y esquivos primos se quedarían con la casa y la echarían al suelo para enriquecerse con el terreno y los ladrillos; o mejor, nosotros mismos la voltearíamos justicieramente antes de que fuese demasiado tarde.") (Spanish version: https://ciudadseva.com/texto/casa-tomada/). This shows us how Irene and her brother were resigned to die in that house. The house became their refuge and the only friend.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Crochet?uselang=ja#/media/File:Mrs._Mary_Arthur_MET_APS353.jpg

Textual Analysis: Tentative thesis: In the short story "House Taken Over," Julio Cortázar emphasizes isolation and solitariness, presenting its two characters as loners who devote themselves to their home. Irene is a patient and quiet woman, particularly good at knitting with hooks. Irene's brother is a cultured man with a taste for reading and European culture. Both are single. Irene's brother narrates the story from his perspective who carries the memory of the house and the nostalgic story of all the family time it presents. It also describes the passage of time about the house, because the author told us that this is an exceptionally large old house that can live 8 people without disturbing.

Literary terms: Onomatopoeia: "During the day there were the household sounds, the metallic click of knitting needles, the rustle of stamp-album pages turning." ("De día eran los rumores domésticos, el roce metálico de las agujas de tejer, un crujido al pasar las hojas del álbum filatélico.") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onomatopoeia Simile: "But Irene was only interested in the knitting and showed a wonderful dexterity, and for me the hours slipped away watching her, her hands like silver sea-urchins, needles flashing, and one or two knitting baskets on the floor, the balls of yarn jumping about" ("Pero a Irene solamente la entretenía el tejido, mostraba una destreza maravillosa y a mí se me iban las horas viéndole las manos como erizos plateados, agujas yendo y viniendo y una o dos canastillas en el suelo donde se agitaban constantemente los ovillos.") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simile Personification: "Then the house grew quiet, half lit, we ended by stepping around more slowly so as not to disturb one another" ("Entonces la casa se ponía callada y a media luz, hasta pisábamos despacio para no molestarnos.") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personification Metaphor: "Nunca pude habituarme a esa voz de estatua o papagayo, voz que viene de los sueños y no de la garganta." (I could never get used to that voice of a statue or parrot, a voice that comes from dreams and not from the throat). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphor Symbols: The house represents an important symbol because the whole story unfolds from the house, which represents the central theme of isolation and loneliness. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolism Critical Thinking Questions 1.	What clues can the title of the story give us? 2.	Why does Cortázar use a first-person narrator? How does that narrator make the story come to life? 3.	If you can read the Spanish original: What is the tone used by the narrator in the story? 4.	What does the house represent?

History of video games/Platforms/Ultravision Video Arcade System

History
Ultravision, Inc. of Miami, Florida began advertising the system with a teaser in an issue of Electronic Gaming in November 1983.

The system was formally announced at CES 1983 as the Ultravision Video Arcade System (VAS) was a hybrid video game console with a color television built in and home computer functionality slated for a summer 1983 release. The price of the system was to be $999.

Financial issues caused the system to be shuttered shortly afterwards in summer of 1983.

Technology
A major design goal of the system was to make personal computing more approachable, rather then simply being a single purpose game console.

The VAS was to ship with 64 kilobytes of RAM, which could be doubled to 128 kilobytes with an expansion. Add ons were planned to allow for compatibility with existing Atari 2600 and Colecovision games.

The built in 10" color television supported 84 channels.

Games
A picture promoting 12 games for the system was released.
 * Air-Sea Attack
 * B-52 Bomber
 * Baseball Best
 * Condor Attack
 * Dare Driver
 * Emergency!
 * Karate
 * Quest for the Idol
 * Space War

Digital Cult: Is Online Dating Making You Socially Awkward?
In 1993, Gary Kremen saw the future in online dating; he knew the need for love was ubiquitous, so in 1995 he launched the first online dating site, Match.com, an online community where singles could connect; the rest was history. Today, tens of millions invest in dating sites every year; it seems everyone is looking for love online. According to a 2019 Pew Research Center survey, three in ten U.S. adults say they have used an online dating site or app. And while technology has made it easier to find a potential partner, it has also reduced singles from three-dimensional people to two-dimensional displays of information (“Online Dating”). Dating apps have also resulted in cognitive overload. It is almost like a video game in which we do not select people; we are selecting options. As singles continue to sign up, the corporations flourish while their customers become more socially or romantically awkward.

In the online dating world, the chances of people getting married are few. Roughly only 12 percent of online dating sites users reported marriage or long term commitment (Pew Research Center). In some instances, the relationship leads to friendship, but many end up in heartbreak. Part of the problem is that while it is comfortable to sit behind the computer and converse, it can potentially lead people to be socially awkward if all they do is communicate via online chat. People who use online dating sites should make it a habit to get to a level where they can share via telephone and eventually plan an in-person date. The notion of only communicating via messages and having no personal interaction can ultimately lead to not speaking in person. In her 2012 TEDTalk “Connected, but Alone?,” Sherry Turkle, psychologist and professor, discusses how our excessive reliance on online communication is making us less capable of deep interpersonal connections. Turkle is concerned that people do not know how to be alone anymore. We rely on technology to find attention whenever we need it, which leads to a false sense of security. And the more we dive into technology to feel secure, the more we lose our sense of reality. Hiding from real life has become easy; texting, email, and social media has allowed us to create the version of ourselves that we want to be. People have become accustomed to one-word text and short emails so much that we sacrifice deep conversations and getting to know people. Thereby the paradox: online dating can be successful for a person who already knows how to communicate in real life.

Match Algorithms
Online dating has been a catalyst for matchmaking for over twenty years, yet people are still dissatisfied with their relationships’ stature. There may be a commercial reason for that. Violet Lim has been in the dating industry for over fourteen years. The online matchmaking she founded with her husband has matched over 100,000 singles. In her August 2018 TEDxntu talk, Lim spoke of how dating algorithms’ created by companies like Match Group, the primary purpose is not to match you with your “perfect mate.” “swipe left” “ swipe right” every year, billions are swiping. Algorithms are set up to keep you in an endless cycle of matches to keep singles logged in longer. But with more matches comes more rejection - which can lead to being more disconnected or lonely. Lim points out that we may be so caught up in superficial criteria that we lose focus on significant criteria such as kindness, reliability, and trustworthiness. Thus many different dating websites can be a trap for everyone looking for rush rewards and gratification, especially now that it has become the “it thing” to date online. Even Facebook added an online dating option in 2016. So while Facebook originally was a way to connect with families and friends worldwide, it is now trending to make love connections.

Swiping Risk
While searching for love, online singles can put themselves at risk, at risk of identity theft, online harassment, and scammers. The instabilities and cruelty of society far too often have the dating scene appearing distorted. Lim explains that not everything on dating apps is accurate and that it is difficult to get an exact representation of a person from possibly altered photos. The MTV reality-TV documentary "Catfish" which examines the truths and lies of online relationships is a perfect example of this. This show has shown people falling in love, only for the person on the other side of the computer to refuse to meet on FaceTime and, in some cases, talk on the phone. All these are major red flags that should not be ignored, but far too often, singles get caught up in wanting to find love, and when they have exhausted all other options, and ignore the red flags. Red flags are not always apparent: scammers will request personal information such as your address, pretending to send you romantic gifts. Still, in all actuality, they want to steal your personal information. According to the FBI annual 2019 Internet Crime Report, 19,473 people were victims of romance scams. A romance scam is usually a fake profile that scammers create to gain their victim’s trust and scam them out of money.

The Bots
Additionally, before stepping into the online dating world, you need to know yourself, what you are looking for, and, most importantly, why you choose online dating versus the option of organically meeting someone the traditional way. Lim agrees that dating apps are meant to connect people, but all the generic profiles and faulty algorithms make it harder. The companies who run OkCupid, Tinder, Plenty of Fish, and Match.com are all interested in the same thing: click for profit. Lim gives an example of a single man signing up for a dating app; he receives a message from what seems an attractive young lady, but then he must pay when he tries to reply. And while many singles do so thinking they are responding to genuine messages, it’s an automated message sent by a bot. Some dating apps even create bots to lure users into paying.

Online dating comes with many issues. Let us take Josh Rivera, the editor for USA Toda y, who dives right into bots and online dating scams in his article "You may be matching with a bot." Users Carlos Zavala from Washington DC and Frankie Heart in Tokyo said they had seen bots on dating apps, even more now during the coronavirus pandemic. Like all chatbots, dating-app bots are coded software that simulates a "chat" with users by utilizing natural language processing. These bots can be so advanced that many people fall for these tactics. Ruby Gonzalez, head of communications at NordVPN Virtual security, warns users that "Despite Tinder being one of the smoothest and easiest-to-use dating apps, it's full of fake accounts and bots that can ruin the whole user experience."

The Illusion
While dating apps are a platform for finding love, it may all be an illusion; some singles are going online looking to feel desirable. In 2010, John C. Bridges, a professor, writer, and speaker, wrote The Illusion of Intimacy, covering the online dating process, intimacy issues, and how illusion and fantasy distort reality and shared online dating problems. Describing online dating as the “new form of hope” (57 ), Bridges claims that in the online world, people are likely to engage in behaviors they usually would not in the real world because they are behind a veil. In chapter four of his book, Bridges explains that “[his] interviewees tell stories of people who have deliberately posted old photos of themselves that are not accurate representations of how they appear today or have posted photos that are simply the most flattering” (59). The online dating world is all about perfection, searching for the “perfect relationship,” where in reality, there is no such a thing as a “perfect relationship.” According to the Pew Research Center, about seven in ten online daters claim it is common for those who use online platforms to lie to appear more desirable (“The Virtues and Downsides of Online Dating”). There are many fake profiles on dating sites, even some planted by dating sites to lure users. That kind of deception and false hope can affect users. About 45 % of Americans who used dating apps say they were left feeling disappointed (Anderson, Vogels, Turner).

Love Lockdown
Since there are so many problems with online dating, one has to ask the question, is online dating worth it in the long run? It is important to understand why we feel the need to turn to these platforms. Earlier this year, for example, we were hit by the coronavirus pandemic, which has changed how people socialize because they have to quarantine, socially distance, and find alternative ways to spend their time. Being forced to stay home has led to a spike in dating app usage. Tinder members sent an average of 52% more messages versus the beginning of the stay at home order in early March (Tinder 2019). In the article “College students are still finding romance in a pandemic, through Zoom crushes and actual dates,” author Annabelle Williams discusses the shift in campus dating due to the coronavirus. Some schools prohibit close contact with anyone outside of roommates; other schools like the University of Georgia recommend students wear masks while hooking up--then withdrew their statements when met with ridicule. Williams explains that traditional dating that allows you to present yourself during an actual interaction has ceased to exist. She claims dorm hookups, once a staple of college, has mostly become a thing of the past. She refers to “masked first dates'' being the new norm. She explains that the shift in campus life makes it harder to find romantic partners, social circles, lab partners, and gym partners, and all have been virtually replaced by Zoom and dating apps. And while some students are coping, some are getting bored. Scout Turkle, a senior at the University of California, Berkeley, says the pandemic has made what she calls “convenient intimacies'' less available. Turkle has been hooking up with her housemates because she says, "it does feel like a huge deal to lose [her] only clear opportunity for physical intimacy during a time it does not feel available to [her]." Williams explains that this desire for intimacy is why dating apps on campus are increasing in popularity. For students, the pandemic is a cause for concern when dating because in-person contact can pose a health risk, and dorm restrictions do not make it any easier. Research before the pandemic had already shown a connection between loneliness and compulsive app use among students. The article “What compulsive dating-app users have in common.” written by Jeff Grabmeier, the senior director of Research Communications at Ohio State University, documents user experience. In a study of two-hundred and sixty-nine undergraduate students. The participants were asked a series of questions to measure loneliness and anxiety due to dating app use. Those who already showed signs of anxiety agreed more to statements like "I am more confident socializing on dating apps than offline." The results did not surprise Caduto; she says, "It's a problem [she] has seen first hand." The more lonely users are, the more likely they are to go on dating apps for validation to receive more negative outcomes. Participants also reported problems such as missing class and work due to consistently checking dating apps.

Conclusion
Dating apps offer limitless possible matches at your fingertips, turning an intimate experience into something more like a video game. Online dating can be overwhelming, even daunting. I think it's fair to assume, though, online dating has its pros: it's easy, universal, and discreet, but it also has its drawbacks, such as dishonest people or cybercrime. Is one outweighing the other? I think it depends on what you are searching for and what you are looking for. More so, what has been your past dating history? As the industry continues to expand, some experts question whether dating app companies are genuinely interested in making love connections. Or do they want to keep people in an endless, endless loop of searching and matching?

Discussion Questions

 * For better matches, many applications and websites claim to use details to filter through profiles. But How do dating Algorithms work? Do algorithms have the best interest of customers?
 * When it comes to modern-day romance, the 21st century is now hitting its height. The handwritten love letters will no longer exist, and going out into the real world to look for love is gone. With the current coronavirus pandemic, how will it impact online dating?
 * Are too many perfect matches ruining the dating experience? The quest for happiness is more challenging than ever due to " the paradox of choice." You swipe endlessly through the dating profiles of individuals before you land on one of your perfect matches.
 * Are the intentions of dating online pure? It can be an exciting and enjoyable way to meet potential partners by exploring the world of Internet dating. You may quickly discover, however, profiles are not as they seem. When dating online, singles have to be aware of potential red flags and scammers.

User:ShayMTR/sandbox/Epistemology/Virtue reliabilism

Throughout this section of the book, we have seen how troublesome Gettier cases have been for the analysis of knowledge. In the early 1980s, Ernest Sosa presented a view which he believed solved various disputes in epistemology, including the foundationalist/coherentist debate (covered in Section 3). More importantly for this section of the book, Sosa also believed that his theory could resolve the Gettier cases with a new condition on knowledge called aptness. This theory, now called virtue epistemology (more specifically virtue reliabilism), was the first attempt at a virtue approach to epistemology and soon led to many other philosophers presenting their own versions of virtue epistemology, such as Zagzebski's form of virtue responsibilism which will be presented in the next chapter.

What is the "virtue" in virtue epistemology?
In ethics, non-virtue approaches often characterise morally good actions according to things such as consequences or obligations. In these approaches, understanding the morality of actions is taken to be the foundation of ethics which once achieved, can be used to understand whether or not a person is moral. For example, it may be discovered according to a certain moral theory that stealing is wrong. Once this has been done, the moral character of a certain person can be understood in terms of the amount of thefts they commit or in another similar way. Virtue ethics, on the other hand, aims to solve various philosophical problems in ethics by instead starting with the question "what makes a subject a good moral agent?" and then turning to determine the morality of actions in terms of the types of virtues (or vices) that motivate those actions. For example, it might be answered that empathy makes a person a better moral agent and that stealing is wrong because it is not the kind of thing an empathetic person would do. Similarly, virtue epistemology aims to solve problems in epistemology by starting with the characteristics of a subject that makes them a good intellectual agent and then determining which beliefs are good beliefs to hold by the types of virtues (or vices) that motivate the holding of those beliefs.

To understand why virtue reliabilism is called virtue reliabilism, we will have to explain the difference between two types of virtues. Sosa's virtue reliabilism is based on a type of virtues called faculty virtues. Faculty virtues are virtues that make a thing good at achieving its tasks or goals. For example, a faculty virtue of a knife could be as simple as the knife being sharp, because this will make it better at chopping things, and this is exactly the thing that we use knives for. Similarly, epistemic faculty virtues are simply things about a knowing subject that makes them better at knowing things and can be things as simple as having reliable eyesight, hearing or memory (reliable processes as found in the previous chapter). Faculty virtues, therefore, are quite different to most ethical virtues. Most ethical virtues don't only make you good at achieving your goals, they are good in themselves and have a degree of moral praiseworthiness that is not present in faculty virtues. This type of virtues which are praiseworthy and good in themselves are called trait virtues. In the next chapter, we will explore a position called virtue-responsibilism that argues that epistemic virtues should not just be faculty virtues, but should be epistemically praiseworthy, and should therefore consist of trait virtues.

Aptness
To explain his idea of aptness, Sosa often uses the example of an archer. When an archer takes a virtuous shot and hits their target, their shot satisfies what Sosa calls the "three As" of virtues: the shot is accurate, it is adroit, and it is apt. The shot is accurate because it hits its target, it is adroit because it is skillful and will reliably go wherever the archer wants it to go, and it is apt because the shot is accurate because it is skillful and reliable. The addition of the aptness condition is the important step that distinguishes the shot as not just reliable, but virtuous (and therefore distinguishes reliabilism from virtue-reliabilism). Imagine an amazing archer who shoots an arrow into the air in a skillful way. The arrow is blown astray by a rogue gust of wind but in a sudden flash of luck, it bounces off the side of a barn door and hits the target anyway. In this case, the arrow shot was adroit (skillful/reliable) and also accurate, but it wasn’t virtuous. It wasn’t virtuous because the shot wasn’t accurate because it was skillful, it was accurate because the archer got very lucky. From this example, we can note two things: (1) if a shot is apt, then this implies that it is both accurate and adroit, and so a virtuous shot can simply be described as an apt shot (rather than an accurate, adroit, apt shot), and (2) aptness not only implies accuracy and adroitness but it ties them together so that they are no longer independent conditions from one another. The change from reliabilism (which can be thought of as describing knowledge as accurate, adroit belief) to virtue-reliabilism is not adding a new independent condition but instead it is telling us how the accuracy and adroitness of a belief must be related to one another.

Aptness can be translated from virtuous archery to epistemic virtues by considering what it means for beliefs to be accurate, adroit and apt. Beliefs are accurate when they are actually true. They are adroit when they are formed by a reliable process. They are apt when they are true because they were formed by a reliable process. Therefore, for Sosa, a virtuous intellectual act is an act that produces a true belief and it produces that belief due to the utilisation of a reliable process.

Gettier cases and other problems
The aptness condition is motivated by the type of problem underlying Zagzebski's general critique of JTB+X theories. As justification is fallible and, therefore, vulnerable to Gettier cases, so too are reliable processes and so the simple addition of an extra independent condition to reliabilism is not enough to solve the Gettier problem. Instead, Sosa introduces a condition that is supposed to rule out the possibility of epistemic luck by tying truth and reliability of process together in such a way that excludes luck from playing a role in knowledge. Because knowledge is apt belief and because apt belief is true because it is formed by a reliable process, knowledge cannot be true by luck because luck is not a reliable process. However, some philosophers question the legitimacy of this line of thought. Consider the fake barn county example again. In that example, a person is driving through fake barn county where it is custom to erect realistic cardboard cut-outs of barns. This person looks at a real barn whilst driving through fake barn county and forms the belief that they are seeing a barn. Here, a belief is formed from the reliable process of eyesight and that belief is true because the eyesight was reliable and acting as it should. But the person had already formed the belief that they were seeing a barn many times in fake barn county in the exact same way and had been completely wrong! Some philosophers use this example to argue that virtue reliabilism is still vulnerable to Gettier cases even with the added condition of aptness. Others argue that this isn't really a case of apt belief because the belief is true more because of luck than because of the reliability of eyesight and so the belief can't be apt. Sosa himself argues that this actually is a case of knowledge. The reason that this seems so counterintuitive, according to Sosa, is because when we usually think of knowledge, we are thinking of a special type of knowledge that Sosa calls reflective knowledge.

The difference between what Sosa calls "animal knowledge" and what he calls "reflective knowledge" is a difference between our evaluation of our beliefs. For Sosa, animal knowledge is just apt belief. When we see things in front of us or hear something besides us, we have an apt belief formed from a reliable process but we haven't necessarily thought to consider whether we should really trust that reliable process. Therefore, animal knowledge describes cases where it seems that we do have knowledge (such as knowing that a table is in front of you when you see one) without a requirement that we have any consciously thought-out justification for whether or not we should hold that belief. Another advantage of the concept of animal knowledge is given by its name: Sosa wants to be able to describe the knowledge that animals have and apt belief sets the bar for knowledge low enough that animals can have knowledge formed via their senses. On the other hand, Sosa describes reflective knowledge as "apt belief aptly noted". This is the type of knowledge where we don't only have apt belief about the world but we have also evaluated the reliability of this belief itself. Upon this evaluation, which would be some reliable method for evaluating beliefs, we have come to the apt belief that our initial belief about the world is reliable. This type of knowledge is valuable because it makes us reflect upon our beliefs and come not only to know things about the world, but also to come to a greater understanding of the world and the ideas in which we believe.

OpenMP/Loops

A motivating example
Assume we need to parallelize the following sequential code.

What we can do is assign each thread to carry out a subset of iterations.

The  in above code tells the computer to spawn 24 threads when we enter the parallel region (scope of  ). However, there is no guarantee that we would be given the exact number of threads as we ask for, due to resource limitations and environment constraints. Therefore, we call  within the parallel region to know actual the number of threads spawned. Then we assign the starting and ending iterations for each thread. For example, thread with  0 (returned by  ) will execute all iterations between   and. Each thread will get a private instance of loop index variable, and private instances of variables declared within the parallel region.

We can simplify above function with OpenMP's  worksharing construct. It may be combined with the parallel directive as.

The compiler directive  has no effect unless it is used within a parallel region. Also, it is safe to assume code that uses OpenMP library functions but does not use  anywhere, is not parallelized by OpenMP.
