CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 CSE 486/586 Distributed Systems Reliable Multicast --- 1 Steve Ko Computer Sciences and Engineering University at Buffalo
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Last Time Global states –A union of all process states –Consistent global state vs. inconsistent global state The "snapshot" algorithm Take a snapshot of the local state Broadcast a "marker" msg to tell other processes to record Start recording all msgs coming in for each channel until receiving a "marker" Outcome: a consistent global state 2
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Today's Question How do a group of processes communicate? Unicast (best effort or reliable) –One-to-one: Message from process p to process q. –Best effort: message may be delivered, but will be intact –Reliable: message will be delivered Broadcast –One-to-all: Message from process p to all processes –Impractical for large networks Multicast –One-to-many: "Local" broadcast within a group g of processes What are the issues? –Processes crash (we assume crash-stop) –Messages get delayed 3
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Why: Examples 4
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Why: Examples Akamai's Configuration Management System (called ACMS) –A core group of 3-5 servers. –Continuously multicast to each other the latest updates. –After an update is reliably multicast within this group, it is then sent out to all the (1000s of) servers Akamai has all over the world. Air Traffic Control System –Commands by one ATC need to be ordered (and reliable) multicast out to other ATC's. Newsgroup servers –Multicast to each other in a reliable and ordered manner. 5
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 The Interface 6 Application (at process p) MULTICAST PROTOCOL send multicast Incoming messages deliver multicast One process p
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 What: Properties to Consider Liveness: guarantee that something good will happen eventually –For the initial state, there is a reachable state where the predicate becomes true. –"Guarantee of termination" is a liveness property Safety: guarantee that something bad will never happen –For any state reachable from the initial state, the predicate is false. –Deadlock avoidance algorithms provide safety Liveness and safety are used in many other CS contexts. 7
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Basic Multicast (B-multicast) A straightforward way to implement B-multicast is to use a reliable one-to-one send (unicast) operation: –B-multicast(g,m): for each process p in g, send(p,m). –receive(m): B-deliver(m) at p. Guarantees? –All processes in g eventually receive every multicast message… –… as long as the sender doesn't crash 8
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 What: Reliable Multicast Goals Integrity: A correct (i.e., non-faulty) process p delivers a message m at most once. –"Non-faulty": doesn't deviate from the protocol & alive Agreement: If a correct process delivers message m, then all the other correct processes in group(m) will eventually deliver m. –Property of "all or nothing." Validity: If a correct process multicasts (sends) message m, then it will eventually deliver m itself. –Guarantees liveness to the sender. Validity and agreement together ensure overall liveness: if some correct process multicasts a message m, then, all correct processes deliver m too. 9
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Reliable Multicast Overview Keep a history of messages for at-most-once delivery Everyone repeats multicast upon a receipt of a message for agreement & validity. –Why? 10
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Reliable R-Multicast Algorithm On initialization Received := {}; For process p to R-multicast message m to group g B-multicast(g,m); (p ∈ g is included as destination) On B-deliver(m) at process q with g = group(m) if (m ∉ Received): Received := Received ∪ {m}; if (q ≠ p): B-multicast(g,m); R-deliver(m) R-multicast B-multicast reliable unicast "USES" 11
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Reliable R-Multicast Algorithm On initialization Received := {}; For process p to R-multicast message m to group g B-multicast(g,m); (p ∈ g is included as destination) On B-deliver(m) at process q with g = group(m) if (m ∉ Received): Received := Received ∪ {m}; if (q ≠ p): B-multicast(g,m); R-deliver(m) Integrity Validity Agreement 12

CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Ordered Multicast Problem Each process delivers received messages independently. The question is, what ordering does each process use? Three meaningful types of ordering –FIFO –Causal –Total 14 P1 P2 P3 M1 M2
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 FIFO Ordering Preserving the process order The message delivery order at each process should preserve the message sending order from every process. For example, –P1: m0, m1, m2 –P2: m3, m4, m5 –P3: m6, m7, m8 FIFO? (m0, m3, m6, m1, m4, m7, m2, m5, m8) –Yes! FIFO? (m0, m4, m6, m1, m3, m7, m2, m5, m8) –No! 15
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Causal Ordering Preserving the happened-before relations The message delivery order at each process should preserve the happened-before relations across all processes. For example, –P1: m0, m1, m2 –P2: m3, m4, m5 –P3: m6, m7, m8 –Cross-process happened-before: m0 m4, m5 m8 Causal? (m0, m3, m6, m1, m4, m7, m2, m5, m8) –Yes! Causal? (m0, m4, m1, m7, m3, m6, m2, m5, m8) –No! 16
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Total Ordering Every process delivers all messages in the same order. For example, –P1: m0, m1, m2 –P2: m3, m4, m5 –P3: m6, m7, m8 Total? –P1: m7, m1, m2, m4, m5, m3, m6, m0, m8 –P2: m7, m1, m2, m4, m5, m3, m6, m0, m8 –P3: m7, m1, m2, m4, m5, m3, m6, m0, m8 Total? –P1: m7, m1, m2, m4, m5, m3, m6, m0, m8 –P2: m7, m2, m1, m4, m5, m3, m6, m0, m8 –P3: m7, m1, m2, m4, m5, m3, m6, m8, m0 17
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Ordered Multicast FIFO ordering: If a correct process issues multicast(g,m) and then multicast(g,m'), then every correct process that delivers m' will have already delivered m. Causal ordering: If multicast(g,m) multicast(g,m') then any correct process that delivers m' will have already delivered m. –Typically, defined in terms of multicast communication only Total ordering: If a correct process delivers message m before m' (independent of the senders), then any other correct process that delivers m' will have already delivered m. 18
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Total, FIFO and Causal Ordering Totally ordered messages T 1 and T 2. FIFO-related messages F 1 and F 2. Causally related messages C 1 and C 3 Total ordering does not imply causal ordering. Causal ordering implies FIFO ordering Causal ordering does not imply total ordering. Hybrid mode: causal-total ordering, FIFO-total ordering. 19
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Display From Bulletin Board Program Bulletin board: os.interesting Item FromSubject 23A.HanlonMach 24G.JosephMicrokernels 25A.HanlonRe: Microkernels 26T.L'HeureuxRPC performance 27M.WalkerRe: Mach end What is the most appropriate ordering for this application? (a) FIFO (b) causal (c) total What is the most appropriate ordering for this application? (a) FIFO (b) causal (c) total 20
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Providing Ordering Guarantees (FIFO) Look at messages from each process in the order they were sent: –Each process keeps a sequence number for each of the other processes. – When a message is received, if message # is: »as expected (next sequence), accept »higher than expected, buffer in a queue »lower than expected, reject 21
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Implementing FIFO Ordering S p g : the number of messages p has sent to g. R q g : the sequence number of the latest group-g message p has delivered from q. For p to FO-multicast m to g –p increments S p g by 1. –p "piggy-backs" the value S p g onto the message. –p B-multicasts m to g. At process p, Upon receipt of m from q with sequence number S: –p checks whether S= R q g +1. If so, p FO-delivers m and increments R q g –If S > R q g +1, p places the message in the hold-back queue until the intervening messages have been delivered and S= R q g +1. 22
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Hold-back Queue for Arrived Multicast Messages 23
CSE 486/586, Spring 2014 Example: FIFO Multicast P1 P2 P3 0 0 0 Physical Time 1 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 01 0 0 2 1 0 1 1 2 2 1 1 Reject: 1 < 1 + 1 Accept 1 = 0 + 1 Accept: 2 = 1 + 1 2 0 0 Buffer 2>0 +1 Accept: 1 = 0 + 1 2 0 0 Accept Buffer 2 =1 + 1 Accept 1 = 0 + 1 Sequence Vector 0 0 0 (do NOT be confused with vector timestamps) "Accept" = Deliver 24 1

Silha v. ACT, Inc.
ACT, Inc. and The College Board (collectively, Defendants) are national testing agencies that administer the ACT and SAT college entrance exams. When a student applies to take a test, Defendants obtain some of the student's personally identifiable information (PII). As part of the examination process, some students authorize Defendants to share certain PII with participating educational organizations through an information exchange program. In 2014, a group of former information exchange program participants (collectively, Plaintiffs) filed a putative class action complaint against Defendants, alleging that they were harmed because the testing agencies did not disclose that the students' PII was actually sold to the educational organizations for profit. The district court dismissed the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), concluding that Plaintiffs failed to establish standing under Article III of the Constitution. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, holding that Plaintiff's factual allegations failed to establish a plausible claim of Article III standing. View "Silha v. ACT, Inc." on Justia Law

Surprise The Girls With A Perfect Gift
Online store have a wide range of presents for young ladies. In case you're an adolescent purchasing a birthday present for a companion, then attempt our modest present thoughts with a wide decision of reasonable presents. Furthermore, every young lady needs a Personalized Birthday Cake to check the occasion.
As a mother of six girls whose ages range from pre-kindergartners, to high schoolers, to grown-ups, and about getting gifts for girls. As we approach the Christmas season with Black Friday hours away, here are some reasonable present thoughts you can give that your granddaughters and nieces will love that will spare you heaps of time, vitality, and cash! Along these lines, you skirt the lines for the most recent thingamajigs and the frantic dash with distraught clients, and appreciate quality time with your family and friends and family.
1. Hair embellishments - There's nothing more dainty and charming about young ladies than coordinating head groups, bows, and barrettes. I totally cherish them! These can turn a basic, surged braid into a bit stunned princess in two seconds. The same is valid for high schoolers and youthful grown-ups. Rhinestone headbands or barrettes give only the perfect measure of bling to any haircut. This could be the best gift for girls.
2. Air pocket shower - Have you ever seen a young lady whose 3 or 4yrs. old get air pocket shower? In the event that you haven't, then you've missed unadulterated bliss and appreciation. They LOVE this! Get some with a princess on it, or the kind that you can compose, draw, and design the tub with amid shower time and it's a hit. In addition, its simple tidy up for mother and makes the young ladies amped up for shower time.
3. Moisturizer sets - You can never have enough moisturizer for a young lady. My undisputed top choice for more youthful young ladies is Baby Magic by Mennen, too bad Johnson and Johnson, in spite of the fact that I do love J & J's fragrant oil sets for young ladies with mitigating lavender. Both brands convey these and they make extraordinary endowments, and are the ideal supplement after shower time. The same is valid for more seasoned young ladies. Victoria's Secret, Bed, Bath and Beyond and a mixture of different stores convey these immaculate little sets in all scents and sizes. My young ladies cherish these.
4. Shower toys - Presently this one is clearly for more youthful young ladies, yet for your pre-high schoolers or more, they additionally like to have their girlie shower extras. Shower and shower loofahs and gloves makes them feel cultured and cherished in light of the fact that now they have their own shower and shower adornments like Mommy, which coincidentally, bails them to stay out of mother's things.

Nice setting and very friendly staff, but definitely geared towards their main trade which is obviously the business conferences.
The room was a decent size but all the carpets & en-suite felt a little bit tired. The main bed was comfy enough but the "family room" we booked turned out to be a double bed + folding camp bed, which wasn't really what we'd hoped for and not comfortable at all. On the plus side, there's a really nice pool which we had to ourselves, and the bar food and breakfast was decent enough at a pretty reasonable price.

JERUSALEM, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman claims that at least half of Israel's Arab residents would likely end up as citizens of the future Palestinian state, following territorial and population swaps as part of a possible peace agreement to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In an interview with Newsweek, Lieberman said that although many Israeli Arabs may one day find themselves living under the Palestinian National Authority, they will be able to "continue living in their property, their houses, their land, or they can move to Israel."
The interview was published in the magazine's year end edition, which highlights its pick of the world's influential figures.
Lieberman noted that the notion of territorial and population exchange, a central doctrine in the platform of his ultra- nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu Party, is supported by an absolute majority of the Likud Party and "maybe the majority of the Labor Party."
He claimed that it is also backed by 70 percent of Israel's Jewish population.
Describing a peace deal with the Palestinians as a "very complicated agenda," Lieberman, crowned by Newsweek as "Israel's most popular politician right now," said that the main obstacle to reaching a peace deal isn't religious tensions between Muslims and Jews or between Israelis and Palestinians but rather the rift between Arab factions.
It is not the first time that the rightist-wing minister makes statements calling to move Israeli Arab citizens out of the country. Those remarks have drawn harsh condemnation from the Arab League, which criticized the comments as undermining the Palestinian-Israeli peace process.

No list of oligarchs is complete without the name of Yuri Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow, who emerged amid nego-tiations over who will run Russia, and how.
The bald and charismatic Mr Luzhkov, long tipped as a future president himself, has built an enormous business empire in Moscow that embraces the media, financial institutions, and - as the Moscow Times pointed out this week - an "asset base that is growing so fast that he may soon own the air we breathe".
Yesterday he established himself at the heart of those engaged in hammering a path out of Russia's crisis, appearing alongside premier-designate Viktor Chernomyrdin as one of an apparently united triad - the mayor, the Prime Minister, and Yegor Stroyev, the moderate chairman of the Federation Council. The three men visited a beleaguered Boris Yeltsin.
"Do not look for differences between us," said the mayor afterwards. "There are none."
As the haggling over the redistribution of power - a tug-of-war between the executive and the legislature - goes on, Mr Luzhkov has become a bargaining chip in his own right. The Communist leader, Gennady Zyuganov, whose party is threatening not to confirm Mr Chernomyrdin unless it strikes a power- sharing deal with the Kremlin, has named him as a possible alternative candidate for prime minister.
The mayor's presence in the centre of this extraordinary process will be viewed with deep alarm, at home and abroad, by those pushing for the continuation of Russia's so-called "reforms", not least the Clinton administration and the International Monetary Fund. That camp was in heavy retreat yesterday with the formal sacking of its arch-priest, Anatoly Chubais, as Mr Yeltsin's international negotiator.
Although an elected official - in 1996, Mr Luzhkov bagged a highly suspect 88 per cent plus of the vote - the line between city ownership and Mr Luzhkov's fiefdom has long been impossible to decipher. He rules his city like a personal kingdom, using a mixture of brow-beating, showmanship and economic interventionism that he would sorely love to see extended to the whole of Russia.
Such is the range of the city's enterprises that he can fly on his personal jet, run on fuel from his own refinery, reading a paper he controls, eating snacks from a fast-food chain in which he has a stake, while making a telephone call with his own cellular provider, before landing to give an interview to his television station.
He governs Moscow with an iron hand. Whenever the city holds major festivities - he has a penchant for Soviet-style events, most recently the risibly pompous Youth Olympics last month - the streets are cleared of prostitutes, beggars and Caucasian shuttle traders. Human rights and individual liberties are not high on his list of priorities. Grandiosity is, though: his contribution to Moscow includes a glittering underground shopping centre, the grotesque rebuilt Cathedral of Christ the Saviour and the even more hideous statue of Peter the Great in the Moscow River.
While the past four months have bought economic chaos to most of Russia, the mayor has been extending his realm, acquiring full control of the Moscow-based ZIL motor manufacturer; doing an oil deal that allows a city- controlled company to tap its own crude; buying a stake in Atlant-Soyuz, an airline company; and seizing control of the capital's monopoly phone provider. A highly energetic man, who looks and behaves like a cannonball in a Lenin-style leather cap, Mr Luzhkov has acquired a reputation for a being a man who can, when the rest of the nation patently can't.
This extends to sport: he plays football, despite his years, and swims daily in the Moscow River. And to politics: he regularly takes up national, and nationalist issues, such as the rightful ownership of the city of Sebastopol and the treatment of Russians in the Baltics.
One "can only classify him as an oligarch", said the Moscow Times. "But do not compare him with the others, for the Moscow mayor is way ahead of the pack ... only he has a semblance of credibility in the eyes of Russians." As for the others, the last few days have seen them scrambling to save their empires and to form alliances to strengthen their political hand. The reappointment of Mr Chernomyrdin was undoubtedly orchestrated by Boris Berezovsky, the billionaire tycoon whom Russians darkly refer to as their modern-day Rasputin.
But there are others who are also used to pulling strings, not least the Seven Oligarchs, who poured cash into Mr Yeltsin's 1996 election campaign coffers - Pyotr Aven and Mikhail Fridmen, both from Alfa Bank; Vladmir Potanin, from Uneximbank; Vladimir Gusinsky, of Most-Bank; Mikhail Khodorkovsky, from Menatep; Alexander Smolensky, of SBS-Agro, and Mr Berezovsky himself.
In the past few days, as the banking system enters melt-down, three of the banks - Menatep, Uneximbank, and Most - have merged. Alfa has also entered an alliance with five others. SBS Agro is being nationalised. All the players are assumed to have taken heavy hits from the collapse of the GKO treasury-bill market, in which $40bn (pounds 25m) of paper has become almost worthless.
In their forced business alliances, all these men - who control newspapers and broadcasting concerns - will hope to retain their ability to pull political strings, in an effort to ensure a business environment that favours their interests.
"They are regrouping and strengthening themselves," said Peter Westin, from the Russian European Centre for Economic Policy. "They will be wanting credits from the Central Bank to see them through this crisis. And that seems already to be happening, which could be very serious."
Reports in Moscow suggest that two of the troubled banks - Inkombank and SBS-Agro - have already received $100m each from the Central Bank's dwindling coffers.
"They are already pulling," said Mr Westin. "Pulling on the strings of power."

Reza Yarahmadi arrived on Christmas Island in late 2009. After being released, Reza began visiting detention centres and campaigning for detainee rights. We met Reza in a park by a lake in the north of Melbourne popular with Kurdish families, on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
People don't know, even activists, no one knows until you live there one day: everyone is sick mentally. All people do is smoke, no one sleeps at night time. It's just unbelievable – just imagine you're walking and 100 other people are walking and no one talking to each other because everyone's thinking, everyone just walking with a cigarette between their fingers. I remember many times for half an hour or hour I did not know where I am, I could not see anyone around me, and then I was like "Wake up", it was like a dream. Wake and then I would see people around, no one would talk to each other.
Night time was like thinking time, you just think, just smoking, drinking tea and coffee, walking around. It was very strange, we could not feel it when I was there, but now when I think about it, it is actually strange, it's crazy.
So many times I was thinking, what if they deport me back? What is going to happen? What happened to my family? What has happened to my father? If the government found out I left the country by a fake passport they will definitely come to my family, and what will happen to my sisters, what happened to my brother. These things you think about: yourself, your family, your future, your past, everything.
This is an excerpt from a longer story. A collection of these stories will be published as a book in March 2017, by Allen & Unwin.

[WithOut Work] Wall Cladding, starts with scouting rural barns, residential structures and urban landscape materials for deconstruction. The Pacific Northwest's once booming timber industry has filled our region with structures that are nearing the end of their first life, but the quality and beauty of the material is ripe for showcasing.
The unique texture, patina, and character of each piece of wood tells a story - years of sun and wind weathering in the high Eastern Oregon dessert, gentle mineral deposits from the water of a Cascade log flume or the strap marks of 100 year old grainery silo. Each structure is taken apart by hand with complete preservation of quality in mind. Once the raw material arrives at Salvage Works we sort for character and integrity, then de-nail and trim by hand. Each board is milled down to a lightweight 1/2" thickness, and ripped down to a 3 1/4" or 5" width to choose from. WOW Wall Cladding goes up easily on most surfaces with finish nails and can be mixed and matched to create your very own accent wall.

Patches offer an easy way to decorate a bag or your clothing. Some patches are sew-on, which can be a time consuming process, especially if you have several patches that you want to attach. Stick-on patches are much easier, but the attachment doesn't always last. For a happy medium of ease and durability, you want an iron-on patch. When looking at patches in the store, it's smart to check the backing to tell if patches are iron-on, stick-on or sew-on.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Iron (optional)
- Patch
Show MoreHide
- 1
Turn the patch over to look at the back. Only the back will tell you whether the patch is iron-on or not.
- 2
Examine the look of the back. If it looks like fabric, it's a sew-on patch. If it is slightly cloudy, it's probably iron-on. You may also be able to tell if it's an iron-on patch by pressing firmly on the back. If it's slightly sticky, it's iron-on.
- 3
Read the package carefully. If the patch is in a package and you cannot touch the back, look over the package. It should clearly state whether it's an iron-on patch or not.
- 4
Try ironing the patch onto your clothes. If you cannot tell for sure whether the patch is iron-on or sew-on, you should simply try to iron it on before wasting time sewing it. To do this, set the iron on a high setting, iron the area where you want the patch, place the patch on the area, cover it with a cloth and run your iron over the cloth for about 30 seconds. When you remove the cloth, you can see if it sticks or not.

Gareth Barry yesterday gave the most optimistic indication so far that he is winning his battle to be fit in time to fly to South Africa on 1 June with the England World Cup squad.
The Manchester City midfielder has stayed behind to have treatment in Manchester while the rest of the 30-man England squad train at altitude in Austria with Fabio Capello. Barry will be given up to the last minute to prove his fitness to Capello who could yet take the player even if he will not be fit in time for the opening match against the United States on 12 June.
Barry told his club's website: "The treatment on my ankle has been going well – I've been having regular sessions with the medical staff at Carrington, and they are pleased with how things are going. It's too early to assess just yet as to whether I'll make it, I'll just have to keep having the treatment and see how things go over the next week or so. But I'm feeling positive still and the medical staff are being brilliant – they are doing everything they can to help me."
In all likelihood, Barry will not see his team-mates unless he is fit for the flight to Johannesburg next month but the rest of the 30-man England squad were finally united in Austria yesterday. The Chelsea players Frank Lampard, John Terry, Ashley Cole and Joe Cole as well as the Portsmouth goalkeeper David James joined up for the first time having played in Saturday's FA Cup final.
The training session yesterday was high intensity with Capello insistent that players did not allow themselves any lapses in concentration. The drills were aimed at high-tempo play with the emphasis on movement and passing and getting as many players into the box as possible. The players finished with an 11-a-side game in which all but the five new arrivals played.
Capello is using the Austrian camp in Irdning chiefly as a means of getting the players accustomed to training and playing at altitude. In an interview with the League Managers' Association official magazine that was released this week, he laid out the principles that will guide him over the next few weeks as he builds up to England's first game.
"As a club manager you can work with your players every day, you can train to improve and study what happened and why in between each game and you can usually rectify things quickly," he said. "As England manager, I can do a lot of in-depth preparation and then there's an injury and everything I have prepared is for nothing.
"At the moment, all the teams press a lot to win the ball back quickly. In Spain, the style is to play a lot of football and not the long ball; you have to arrive after 25 short passes to shoot or score a goal. In Italy, the system is different, with more tactics involved. I believe that if you study all the club teams in the various countries, and all the national teams, you will find a mix of different styles and because of this football has improved a lot.
"For me, the World Cup is a really big challenge. I think England are one of the best teams in the world and we can win against anyone," Capello added. "My approach to the World Cup is relaxed now. I have to study the other countries we will be playing against and hope that everything we are preparing will be ready for the tournament."
While he kills the hours between training sessions in Austria, Capello is also preparing for his next campaign to qualify for Euro 2012. He has asked for a DVD of the England Under-17s European Championship victory over the Czech Republic on Tuesday, the first time that the Italian has ever shown any interest in the junior England sides.
The likes of Josh McEachran of Chelsea and Benik Afobe from Arsenal who both scored in the 3-1 win over the Czechs are unlikely to figure in Capello's plans anytime soon – neither of them have even broken into the senior squads at club level – but it is further evidence that the England manager is thinking long-term. He has already had the summer break clause in his contract deleted.

John 12:42

John 12:50
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Philosophy in Business and Management research Dr Shona Bettany
Key issues What is research philosophy and why is it important? Where philosophy fits into your research What types of research philosophy are available And introducing another important philosophical issue Research ethics
What is research philosophy? One of the primary questions that shape a research project What is "research?" Research is concerned with seeking solutions to problems or answers to meaningful questions in a systematic manner that is accessible to others Research philosophy affects how you conceptualise –The object/phenomenon you are studying –The theory you: use to understand, test or develop –The contribution you make
Why is it important? Any ideas? No research is research philosophy free!! Provides an underpinning framework of understanding for your research Provides a paradigm to locate your research and contribution Using a different philosophy can provide a research gap!
Where does research philosophy fit in? Ontology Epistemology Methodology Method The nature of reality How we understand that reality A theory of engagement with that reality The relevant tools for collecting data about that reality Constructivism, positivism, Interpretivism, post positivism Phenomenology, discourse theory etc. Our underpinning philosophy of the social world Survey method, interview, etc
Types of research philosophy Positivism Post positivism Interpretivism Constructivism
Positivism The world exists externally to ourselves, it is external and objective and we can find out the singular truth about it ( the object/phenomenon you are studying ) Its properties should be discovered through objective, detached methods (affecting the theory/methodology/methods used/developed) Knowledge (your contribution) –can only be based on hard, observed and tested facts –mainly based on description, explanation and/or prediction of a limited number of fairly straightforward issues –generalisation to a population is sought Linked to the scientific method and hypothetico- deductive research
Limitations of Positivism for business and management research Deterministic – assumes that there is an orderly world, regular and predictable and consistent in cause and effect Objectivist – assumes we can detach ourselves meaningfully from the world and study/observe it Singular – assumes there is a singular reality and a singular truth or law to explain it can be discovered So why is this problematic for business and management research?
Post -positivism There is an external reality but we can never achieve perfect knowledge of that Mixture of deduction and induction Critical realism and onwards… Multiple approaches/methods – theoretical/methodological triangulation 'Strong' objectivity
Interpretivism Perspectival - The world exists according to how it is experienced, interpreted and perceived by people –So there is an external world, but it is viewed/perceived/interpreted differently by different groups/individuals (research object/phenomena) The world should be understood through attention to those different interpretations (affecting the theory/methodology/methods used/developed) knowledge is based on understanding and interpretation of experience (knowledge/contribution) Highly context specific reflexive (not objective) co-construction of data Inductive Qualitative methods
Constructivism We construct ourselves and our experiences and interpretations. There is no 'bottom' reality in constructivism, everything is constructed (our object of knowledge) –Constructions sediment over time into 'discourses' but these are historically specific, highly changeable, multiple and contested –Constructions that become sustained facts do so as a result of social, historical and political vicissitudes Linked to Poststructuralist thought, deconstruction, discourse analysis (our mode of engagement) Knowledge –an account of constructions and how they work and their consequences –how constructions are mobilised and operated –a critique of "facts" (can be any phenomenon) as constructions
Dual continuum of research philosophies Positivism Constructivism Post Positivism Interpretivism RealismRelativism
Ontological differences among the methodologies we have looked at A little task Fit the methodology to the philosophy… PhenomenologyDiscourse theory Experimental research Constructivism InterpretivismPositivism
Research ethics The Axiology of research –Value/s, worth, right and wrong Does 'anything go' in research? Name one question that it is ethically wrong to ask Research dilemmas –Success/integrity –Politics/value-free research –Commerical/non commerical
Research ethics (2) Processual ethics –Respect for human dignity and confidentiality –Careful consideration of harm and benefit balance –Informed consent –Deception –Conflict of interest –Repercussions –Stress, anxiety and vulnerability –Issues of race, gender, sexuality discrimination –Legal issues (e.g. research with children) –Careful and truthful reporting of findings –Plagiarism
Recap Where this lecture fits – self evident if you have been listening… Main points –What is research philosophy and why is it important? –Where philosophy fits into your research –What types of research philosophy are available And introducing another important philosophical issue –Research ethics

Roger Pouillon
The Pouillon family have lived in Champagne for many centuries, but it was in 1947 that Roger Pouillon first established this Champagne house in Mareuil-sur-Ay. In 1998 grandson Fabrice joined the family business after studying oenology and gaining valuable work experience in Bordeaux(Sauternes) and Burgundy (Chassagne and Santenay) in particular where he developed his ideas on oak fermentation and maturation.
They cultivate the three main grape varieties and have prestigious old vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Ay as Grand Cru, and Mareuil-sur-Ay, Tauxieres, Mutigny, Avenay d'Or, Epernay and Festigny in 1er Cru.
All farming is organic with grass cover and natural pesticides and herbicides. Fabrice is in the process of converting some vineyard parcels in Mareuil to biodynamic. Average vine age is an impressive 30-35 years with older vines going into the more prestige cuvees.
Mareuil-sur-Ay is the homeof Billecart-Salmon and is a much under-rated village with a classification of 99%. The wines are similar to neighbouring Ay, but with more finesse, elegance and much more reasonably priced. finding good small growers in Ay is very difficult- the village is full of 'big houses' and hence command exorbitant prices. The overall quality of the growers in Mareuil-sur-Ay is very high indeed and there is no doubt it is worthy of Grand Cru status.

The Milwaukee Brewers' investment in Eric Thames is paying off in MLB, while Ivan Nova impressed in a loss for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
With a third-inning home run against the Chicago Cubs on Monday, Thames has hit a homer in five straight games, matching the franchise record set by Jeromy Burnitz in 1997.
He leads MLB in homers with seven for the Brewers, who moved to 8-6 to begin the season with the 6-3 win over the defending champions.
Nova was strong for the Pirates but saw his team go down 2-1 to the St Louis Cardinals.
The Seattle Mariners beat the Miami Marlins 6-1, the Houston Astros shut out the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 and the Cleveland Indians overcame the Minnesota Twins 3-1.
The Atlanta Braves edged the San Diego Padres 5-4, the New York Yankees kept up their form with a 7-4 win over the Chicago White Sox and the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3.
The Texas Rangers crushed the Oakland Athletics 7-0 and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2.
Although he took the loss, Pirates starter Nova pitched a complete game against the Cardinals, hurling eight innings, giving up two runs on five hits with just 78 pitches. Nova now has more complete games (four) than walks (three) since joining Pittsburgh last season.
Dansby Swanson flared a walk-off single in the ninth inning, giving the Braves a win over the Padres and his first walk-off hit.
Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, tie ballgame.— Atlanta Braves (@Braves) April 18, 2017
Take it away @LieutenantDans7: pic.twitter.com/CqzywQCLVj
Twins All-Star Brian Dozier went 0-for-five with two strikeouts in a loss to the Indians. He is now batting .240 to begin the season which is still better than team-mate Joe Mauer, who despite two hits Monday is at .213.
The Yankees (9-4) will look for their ninth straight win Tuesday as Luis Severino (1-0, 4.50 ERA) toes the rubber against the White Sox's Miguel Gonzalez (1-0, 4.22 ERA). Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner are hitting above .300 against Gonzalez in their careers but the right-hander threw seven shutout innings the last time he faced the Yankees (July, 2016).

Global trade slowdown is far worse than projected and the trend is leading to greater protectionism, writes FICCI president.
If you are concerned with slowdown in world trade, think again. It is indeed far worse than what we commonly believe. As the July-report of 'Global Trade Alert' pointed out, world trade is not just slowing down – the fact is it has not grown at all since January 2015. Such a prolonged phase of 'no growth' in global trade is worrisome and expectedly, it is accompanied by a spurt in protectionism.

What to do with Canada's Senate?
Not much has been said lately about reforming Canada's upper house, the Senate. That's probably because Canadians don't know much about our Senate or how it works, and certainly almost no Canadian citizens have ever participated in its selection, being a purely appointed body. Canada's Senate is effectively impotent, and reform is needed.

Mystic — A Stonington police officer was forced to shoot a large dog that police say attacked and seriously injured a woman inside the Marriott Residence Inn on Route 27 at about 3 p.m. Sunday.
The officer also suffered minor bites to his hand and arm when he tried to help the female caretaker of the dog get control of the animal after the attack. The woman was taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London. The officer, whom police did not identify, also received medical attention.
Police Capt. Jerry Desmond said the woman was attacked by the dog inside a second floor hallway. When police arrived, the officer found the caretaker of the dog struggling to control the animal. When the officer tried to help he was bitten, and then shot the dog.
Police said the officer was then able to corral the dog in a stairwell away from other guests until Christina Donovan, a Groton Town Police animal control officer, arrived. At about 3:40 p.m, Donovan emerged from the building, guiding the dog to the Stonington animal control truck with the use of a noose at the end of a long pole.
The black dog, which had blood dripping from its shoulder and abdomen after being struck with a .45 caliber bullet, whimpered as it refused to walk up the ramp into the truck. As police and Old Mystic firefighters tried to coax the dog into the van, one officer stood a few feet way, his gun drawn.
They were finally able to get the dog into the Groton animal control truck by putting a blue blanket over it and lifting it up and into a cage in the truck. The dog was taken for veterinary treatment.
Desmond said police, who are investigating the incident, are not yet sure of the relationship between the victim and the caretaker. The 128-room hotel, which was not evacuated during the incident, allows guests to have pets in their rooms.
