ASHER Nelson was just 24 hours old when his big sister Lara was diagnosed with leukaemia.
Now, almost three years later, he could be the key to saving her life.
Asher will soon become Lara's bone marrow donor in a bid to help her overcome cancer.
Lara was two and a half when she was first diagnosed.
Their mother, Amber said their little girl had been lethargic and ill, but doctors blamed it on childcare bugs.
It was the day after Asher's birth that Lara's leukaemia diagnosis was confirmed at the Royal Children's Hospital.
Their little girl would undergo two years of chemotherapy treatment. Just when her parents thought she was close to remission, the cancer came back.
Instead of starting Prep Lara is visiting the hospital almost daily for intra-muscular injections and other chemotherapy drugs.
But unlike many other children, the five year old doesn't want distraction therapies.
"She really likes them to be perfunctory about it," father Zac Nelson said.
"She says: 'Don't count to three, don't turn the TV on, just give me the injection'."
But one aspect that Lara has struggled with is the hair loss. She sleeps with her headscarf on so no one can see her bald head.
Now she has the chance of a cure. The family were elated to find that Asher was a bone marrow match.
There is only a 25 per cent chance of a sibling being suitable.
"Asher gets to be his sister's hero," Mr Nelson said.
Lara understands that her brother is helping her get rid of the leukaemia.
"I like having my brother as a match because I love him," Lara said.
Within months Lara will undergo intensive chemotherapy and radiation to kill off her cancer cells and her own bone marrow. After that Asher's bone marrow will be aspirated from his pelvic bone and given to his sister.
"The donor immune system will help her to fight to leukaemia," she said.

Bee Yang
He is known to young and elder alike for his humor and storytelling. Bee Yang's reach is across the globe, and his impact opens doors across cultures, generations and genders as he warmly connects with audiences to offer a bigger, deeper picture.
As a young college student attending Fresno State, Bee volunteered at Stone Soup to teach Hmong children about their culture, language, arts and customs – and helped to organize our very first language literacy classes. Now on the faculty of his alma mater, he is still engaging and entertaining students of many ages through courses at Stone Soup that have also found an enthusiastic following on the Internet. One young woman viewed him on YouTube and flew all the way from Wisconsin to participate. And in Northern China, Bee is conducting a study of the Hmong in that country while touring and learning history at the invitation of university scholars there. Always creating greater understanding and even excitement through learning, his dream is to see the creation of a Hmong cultural institute at Stone Soup Fresno.

Item Description...
Click here to view a preview of Daniel!

God gives Daniel great wisdom and the special power to interpret dreams. The King has a frightening dream, and Daniel interprets the dream, the king makes Daniel and the Hebrews his closest advisors.
The king has a golden statue built and demands that all worship the idol. When Daniel's three friends refuse, Nebuchadnezzar has them thrown into a fiery oven. An angel of God appears and protects them in the furnace.
Daniel becomes the closest advisor to Darius, the new king. Darius issues an edict that all shall worship his statue. Daniel refuses to obey and is thrown into a den of lions. God again protects him, and Darius recognizes that Daniel's God is the true and just God.
Community Description
This wonderful story from the Bible is an incredible tale of courage and faith.
Invading Babylonian forces capture Jerusalem and carry away many of the city's finest young people, including Daniel and his three young friends. In captivity, the youths are in the king's service and outperform all their rivals - pleasing the king and infuriating their enemies. This DVD captures the highlights of Daniel and his three friends, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and demonstrates that God still rules over the affairs of men.
Notes: This DVD is probably the greatest in existance for documenting the life of Daniel. The scene with the 3 Hebrew children and the fiery furnace is supreme. You will also see other stories from the Book of Daniel dramatized like the interpretation of the King's dream and the Lion's Den.

East Side Sushi - Film Presentation Sponsored by the West Marin Rotary Club
East Side Sushi - Film Presentation Sponsored by the West Marin Rotary Club
East Side Sushi
PG rated
1 hour and 46 min
Admission: $12.00 or donation
Friday, May 19, 2017
Dance Palace: 7:00 pm
The Rotary Club of West Marin presents a movie entitled "East Side Sushi" at its 2nd annual movie night on Friday, May 19, 2017. Proceeds will be used to maintain the Rotary Peace Garden in downtown Point Reyes and complete the irrigation.
This heartwarming and sometimes heart wrenching film is about a young woman named Juana. Juana can slice and dice anything with great speed and precision. After working at a fruit vending cart for years, she decides to take a job at a local Japanese restaurant. She attempts to become a sushi chef, but is unable to because she is the "wrong" race and gender. Against all odds, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, determined to not let anyone stop her from achieving her dream.
East Side Sushi has won 9 awards at various film festivals, including the San Francisco Bay Area Latino Film Festival in 2014.
Critics say it will definitely be a "crowd pleaser"; it is "engaging" and "a Triumph".

It's a very real thing to feel jealous of other people. Most of us envy someone for something at some time in our lives. This is pretty normal, human behaviour.
We often make ourselves feel awful because other people seemingly have it better than we do. A bigger house, a nicer car. Children, pets, other wonderful things that we long for but cannot or do not have. The person you envy, may envy you for something in your life you have that they don't. It's all very relative. Don't beat yourself up for feeling envious or jealous of people for things you wish you had, but don't dwell on them either.
I'd quite like to just be able to say 'yes' to any invite, to be able to just go to town and shop or go out for dinner or to the cinema, but my anxiety makes it hard for me to achieve that. Yes, it frustrates me and I do sometimes feel jealous of people who can live spontaneously, like I used to before this mental illness took hold. I also feel grateful for being able to spend time at home, eating with my family and curling up in my bed to watch a movie with my pupdog. I can shop online if I need to and to be honest, I prefer that anyway.
There are people who have worked hard for things in their lives and people who you may think haven't done so. Unless you know the person very well, you don't have a clue what their adversities are, what their emotional well being is and whether or not they are truly as happy as they seem. We are all guilty of bending the truth now and then to make things in our lives seem better than they may actually be. Telling people you are okay, when really you're everything but. So just take things with a pinch of salt. Everything is not what it seems and you may be surprised.
There are many things in my life that I wish were different but the biggest one is finding the old me again. I wish I could go on girls nights again, I wish I could have those friends back again, that I can just go and enjoy life – really enjoy it to it's fullest. Go on holiday. Go and do a weekly food shop. Apply for any job and not have to worry about going there. Normal everyday things become a massive chore. Anxiety is hard to live with. People don't understand it and often give 'advice' that is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. I can't just 'think positive' and 'not worry' that isn't how this works.
I have noticed that I find myself less jealous, the longer I live with my mental illnesses but every now and then, it creeps in and makes me feel like shit. I hate that I feel jealous in the first place which then makes me feel even shittier about the circumstances that made me feel the jealousy. It's a huge, shitty vicious circle of negativity. I can be hard to drag yourself out of that tornado of shite but remember the storm will end eventually. The calm will swing by and you after spend a while cleaning up the mess it created, you can live to the best of your ability again. Enjoy the calm after the storm and try and prepare for the inevitable next one.
Life is hard. Life with mental illness is harder. Additional hurdles and obstacles are always in your way. Don't beat yourself up for how you feel, life is a tough ride and you are doing great.

Fantasia Suite represents the unveiling of a new direction in 21st century art that combines a renaissance of 18th and 19th century Romanticism with influences of the 20th century, such as jazz, minimalism and new age.
Larsen's Neo-Romanticism is a reaction to the mechanism, violence and dissonance of the last century — a swing of the pendulum — towards a music inspiring beauty, love and fantasy. This is a more ideal form of expression rather than the fashion of reality-based commentary.
As well as drawing upon timeless beauty, such as nature, Neo-Romanticism also captures the positive advances of man's humanitarian and spiritual evolution during the last century. This is a new artistic direction expressing love, beauty and idealism in art; creating a reaction to violence, war, hatred and the horrors of retribution and continual struggle representative of the 20th century.
Fantasia Suite is a Neo-Romantic reaction — seen through a view of beauty, transcendence and fantasy with idealism at its foundation. Is this the "classical music" of the 21st century?

When Americans get frustrated with their media, they often feel inclined to take their gripes to a higher power. That would be the government. Commentators, journalists, pundits, etc., drive news consumers over and over to dial up or e-mail the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) — the better to lobby for relief from all these experts. The Erik Wemple Blog a while back requested a cross-section of complaints and hereby continues a series showcasing the best ones.
On Feb. 4, 2011, a news consumer from Lakewood, Colo., e-mailed the FCC the following note, with "Glenn Beck and Fox News shows" in the subject line.
Hello, I am writing today to complain about the horrific lies and threats of violence coming out of this network everyday. People who watch this network believe it is real news, and believe the hate that spews from all their mouths. This behavior has lead to attempted murders, death threats against anyone who disagrees with them. They are racist and Beck calls for violence against everyone! Please pull them from any airwaves which are supported by or regulated by the FCC. My tax money should be spent keeping these kinds of people off the air. My own father has fallen under the spell of this hate and I cannot get through to him that this is not real news.
Thank you,

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/784,095, filed Feb. 16, 2001 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,918,115.
Aspects of the present invention relate generally to computer systems and processes. A further aspect of the present invention relates to the use of a schedule of periodic processes. A further aspect of the present invention relates to conserving computer resources, such as electrical power, by synchronizing periodic processes.
Computing systems commonly include one or more processors that execute one or more processes, or sequences of instructions, during the operation of the computer. For example, a computer might have a process for monitoring the system time, a process for displaying particular graphics, a process for responding to user input, etc. Some systems also include processes that monitor the continued existence of other important processes, and may be programmed to take appropriate action if a critical or important process should fail.
These various processes commonly require some form of periodic activity. For example, a process for displaying the current time onscreen may require an update of its display once every minute. A cellular telephone might need to check its signal strength once every second. A process monitor may need to periodically verify the existence of one or more critical processes, with each check potentially occurring at a different frequency (e.g., once every 500 ms, once every minute, etc.).
As more and more periodic processes occur, the processing activity within such a system becomes erratic. To illustrate,
Such processing activity is particularly undesirable for systems that attempt to use low power consumption modes to conserve power when not in use. In such low-power modes, for example, a computer system might deactivate a particular hardware device if a certain amount of time (e.g., 2 minutes) passes without its use. Power is conserved when the device is deactivated, but additional overhead processing and power are required to manage the activation/deactivation of these devices. As another example, the system might place one or more memories (e.g., RAM or ROM) in a self-refresh mode. As with deactivation of a hardware device, entering and exiting this self-refresh mode requires overhead processing and power. Consequently, the low power consumption modes are most efficient when periods of activity are consolidated to minimize the number of times they enter and exit their conservation modes.
Such low power consumption modes are less effective, however, in systems having the periodic processes as shown in
Such an improvement would be particularly welcome in systems that employ process monitoring, as such activity commonly requires a large number of periodic processes. Process monitoring often requires that certain processes, deemed important or critical to the system, be checked periodically to verify that they remain in existence. Different computer systems may have different levels of criticality, but one example of a critical process might be a process that is in charge of updating a portion of memory. If such a critical process should ever fail, the operation of the computer might be jeopardized. Other processes might be less critical, and might not generate a serious error if failed (for example, a process for updating a graphical icon might not be considered critical). The periodic monitoring of such critical processes may be accomplished by a critical process monitor (CPM), which serves to detect the failure of a critical process, and may then take corrective action to address the failure.
For example, in one CPM implemented in the "AUTOPC" computer platform developed by Microsoft Corp., the CPM functionality is implemented as two distinct system calls: CPMRegister and CPMNotify. System calls generally include functions and/or processes that can be executed by another function and/or process.
The CPM monitors processes that have registered with the CPM, and accordingly, a critical process typically first registers with the CPM by executing the CPMRegister function or system call. In this call, the critical process provides the CPM with a time period (e.g., 4 seconds) that indicates how frequently the critical process wants to be checked to make sure it remains active. Once registered, it is the critical process' responsibility to call CPMNotify at least once every period (e.g., once every 4 seconds) to inform the CPM that the critical process remains active. If the critical process should ever fail to provide this notification through an entire period, then the CPM may take corrective action, such as restarting the critical process.
This periodic notification allows the CPM to monitor the continued existence of critical processes, improving reliability of the overall system, but it also introduces a number of additional timers to the system. Each critical process requires one or more timer processes to keep track of the amount of time passed since its last call to CPMNotify, and to determine whether another call to CPMNotify is needed. These timers require additional processing and power from the computing system. The increase in power usage is particularly disadvantageous for computing devices that have a limited power supply, such as a cellular telephone, a pager, or a personal digital assistant (PDA). Heretofore, this increased power usage was simply accepted as a necessary part of having the CPM.
All of the problems discussed above increase the power and processing required by a computing system, and can reduce the operational life of the system when the system relies on a limited power supply, such as batteries in a cellular telephone. This reduced operational life is undesirable, and there is a present need for a system that retains the functionality provided by processes and periodic processes, but also reduces the processing and electrical power required by such a system.
A novel system is provided that reduces the power consumption in computing devices through the introduction of a periodic scheduler. Such a scheduler may be used, for example, by a critical process monitor to efficiently monitor a number of processes. Aspects include a scheduling system that records existing scheduled periodic activities, and receives new requests to schedule periodic activities.
Further aspects include using a stored schedule list to carry out periodic actions, events, or processes. The schedule list may contain one or more time values, may be a linked list, and may be circular in nature. Further aspects of the schedule list may also include one or more event identifiers to identify the particular periodic event that is to occur.
Further aspects also include comparing a received new request for a new periodic event with an existing schedule to determine whether the new periodic event can occur at the same time as one or more existing scheduled periodic activities. Another aspect involves modifying a stored schedule list to add one or more new entries for the new periodic event. Further aspects include adding additional entries to the schedule list such that the last entry in the list is a common multiple of periods for periodic events in the schedule list.
Another aspect includes a system call that allows certain processes to specify a range of period times when registering a periodic event. A further aspect allows a process to specify a range of times for the periodic event in which one or more time values are permitted to vary, and may include wildcard values (e.g., "don't care" values).
Another further aspect includes a centralized timer function for initiating a process monitor, which in turn may monitor one or more periodic events to ensure that they occur.
In further aspects, portions of a computer system are permitted to enter low-power consumption modes for greater periods of time, allowing increased power efficiency.
A further aspect includes a critical process monitor that may periodically monitor the continued existence of registered critical processes, and take corrective action in the event that a critical process has failed.
A further aspect includes registering all processes that need to be woken up periodically with the process synchronizer, allowing it to synchronize timers associated with the registered processes.
Additional aspects will become apparent to one skilled in the art in view of the following descriptions of the figures and embodiments.
The invention is operational with numerous other general purpose or special purpose computing system environments or configurations. Examples of well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like.
The invention may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a computer. Generally, pro-ram modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices.
With reference to
Computer 120 typically includes a variety of computer readable media. Computer readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by computer 120 and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can accessed by computer 120. Communication media typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of any of the above are also included within the scope of computer readable media.
The system memory 122 includes computer storage media in the form of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) 140 and random access memory (RAM) 150. A basic input/output system 160 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 120, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 140. RAM 150 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 121. By way of example, and not limitation,
The computer 120 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only,
The drives and their associated computer storage media discussed above and illustrated in
The computer 120 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 109. The remote computer 109 may be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 120, although only a memory storage device 181 has been illustrated in

With reference to
Device 100 may also contain communications connection(s) 105 that allow the device to communicate with other devices. Communications connection(s) 105 is an example of communication media. Communication media typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. The term computer readable media as used herein includes both storage media and communication media.
Device 100 may also have input device(s) 106 such as keyboard, mouse, pen, voice input device, touch input device, etc. Output device(s) 107 such as a display, speakers, printer, etc. may also be included. All of these devices are well-known in the art and need not be discussed at length here.
During operation, a processing unit 101/121 may execute a series of instructions at the direction of, for example, one or more application programs 196. Execution of these instructions, portions of these instructions, or groups of these instructions by the processing unit 101/121 may commonly be referred to as a "process". For example, a stock market application might have one process for monitoring the current time, a second process for displaying an advertisement on the screen, and a third process for changing the advertisement based on the current time. Some types of processes are actually implemented to monitor the operation of other processes within the system. For example, one process might monitor the use, by other processes, of a system's processing unit.
In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a periodic scheduler may be implemented to monitor and/or administer one or more periodic events, activities, and/or processes that require some form of activity after a given period of time. The periodic scheduler, and other processes, may be executed by the processing unit 101/121 of the systems shown in
The periodic scheduler may use a schedule list of periodic events, which may be stored in a memory accessible to the processing unit 101/121, such as system memory 102/122.
Event Identifier
Process A
Process B
Process A
Process B
Process A
Process A; Process B
This list includes entries for various times at which an activity or event, associated with the Event Identifier (e.g., Process A, Process B), is to occur. The times may be entered in the schedule list upon registration by a particular process requesting the scheduled periodic event, and may be measured with respect to a predefined origin time (when time equals zero). The Event Identifier may identify a particular periodic process that is to occur, or it may simply identify the target or process for which a predefined periodic action or event is to occur (if the predefined periodic action or event is already known).
In the above example list, two processes (processes A and B) have registered with the process monitor. Process A has registered with a period of 12 time units, indicating that its requested periodic event (identified by "Process A") is to occur once every 12 time units. Process B is shown registered with a period of 16 time units. In one embodiment, the time units are quarter-second intervals, resulting in a "Process A" period of 3 seconds, and a "Process B" period of 4 seconds. Accordingly, the periodic events for Processes A and B would occur at integral multiples of their respective periods (e.g., 12, 24, 36, 48 etc. for Process A, and 16, 32, 48, etc. for Process B).
In using the example list to carry out the scheduled periodic events, and as shown in
At the scheduled time, in step 312, the scheduler executes the predefined periodic process(es), action(s), or event(s) for the current entry. In the example, the first action identifier is for Process A, and the scheduler may execute whatever periodic event is to occur for Process A. If the current entry contained more than one action identifier, then it may execute more than one corresponding periodic event. Predefined periodic processes, actions, and events may be any predefined activity, including sending a synchronization signal, executing a corrective process, waking another process, etc.
Upon executing the periodic event, the scheduler then determines, in step 313, whether it just handled the last entry in the list. If it did not, then the scheduler examines, in step 314, the next entry in the list to determine the next time at which it is needed. The scheduler then returns to step 311 to wait until the next time in the list (e.g., time t=16).
If, in step 313, the scheduler had handled the last entry in the list, then the scheduler process returns to step 310, resetting the current timer back to zero, and once again examining the first entry in the list. This process may occur indefinitely, but may terminate if the schedule list is edited to remove some or all entries, or if another command is issued to terminate the process (e.g., the computing device is powered down).
Returning to the example schedule above, at time t=48, the final entry in the schedule list includes two action identifiers, "Process A" and "Process B". When time t=48 in step 311, the scheduler may execute, in step 312, the periodic process for both Process A and Process B. Although two processes are used in the example schedule, it will be understood that any number of processes may be registered. It will also be understood that the periodic action for the various registered processes may be modified as necessary after registration. In some embodiments, the schedule list contains sufficient entries such that the final entry lists all registered processes. Such an entry would have a time value of the least common multiple of all the periods of the registered processes. However, it will be understood that variations to the list may function as well, such as extending the list beyond the least common multiple to include more entries, or implementing the list as separate lists.
The ping and response may be implemented in any of a number of ways, such as using a predefined system call addressed to a particular process or processes. In some embodiments, the actual capture of a ping and response may occur without the assistance of the process monitor, and may be handled by the underlying operating system and/or a different process from the process monitor. The various pings sent and responses received may be logged and/or stored in any memory of the system accessible to the scheduler. The following description offers more detail on the
When the appropriate time arrives, the scheduler may determine, in step 332, whether the current registered process (identified by the entry's action identifier) was already pinged previously. The status of each registered process, such as whether it was previously pinged, may be maintained in any memory of the system as, for example, a table or list of data and/or flags.
If the registered process was previously pinged, then the scheduler may check, in step 333, to see if a response was received from the registered process. As stated above, the transmission, receipt, logging and handling of pings and/or responses may be handled by a process other than the scheduler, and may also be handled by the underlying operating system itself.
If, in step 333, no response has been received from the registered process, then the scheduler may take appropriate action in step 334. The appropriate action may vary depending on the registered process, and may include such actions as sending a notification to another process, system, device, user, etc.; restarting a critical process; restarting and/or rebooting the computing system; initiating another process, device, etc.; recording the lack of response in a log, and the like. After taking the appropriate action, the scheduler may then examine the current entry, in step 335, to determine if another registered process is listed at the same time. If so, then the scheduler examines, in step 336, the next registered process in the current entry, and then returns to step 332 to handle the next registered process.
If, in step 335, no more processes remain to be checked at the current time, the scheduler may then examine the next entry from the schedule list in step 337. Once the next entry is loaded, the scheduler may return to step 331 to wait (or sleep) until the time indicated in the next entry. Again, this waiting may be accomplished using a system scheduler to further conserve power.
If, in step 333, a response was received from the registered process, then the scheduler may simply send another ping to the registered process in step 338. The scheduler may then handle other registered processes and/or other entries in step 335, as described above.
If, in step 332, no ping has been sent to the current registered process, then the scheduler may send an initial ping to the registered process in step 339. After sending the ping, the scheduler may handle other registered processes and/or other entries in step 335, as described above.
Many alternative embodiments are possible, and will be apparent using the present disclosure. For example, the scheduler may eliminate steps 332 and 333 by simply sending an initial ping immediately upon registration of the process (discussed below) with the scheduler. In alternate embodiments, the schedule list might simply have time entries. In this embodiment, the scheduler may store, in the same or a separate list, an identification of each registered process and its period. Then, at each time in the schedule list, the scheduler may determine which registered process(es) to handle simply by comparing a current timer with the periods of the various registered processes, and assuming that the current registered processes for handling are those whose periods divide evenly into the current timer value.
This example call passes two time values for the time period, and an event identifier of the registering process or periodic process that is to occur. In such an embodiment, the event identifier simply identifies the process (e.g., it acts as a process identifier), and it is understood that the predefined action is the ping/response function described above. The first time value may be a minimum period parameter (MIN) identifying a minimum time value of the period in which a periodic process is to occur. This minimum time value may be measured in any unit of time, such as milliseconds, seconds, minutes, etc., and may be used for example, if the requesting process needs a periodic process to occur no more than once every [MIN] seconds (or quarter seconds, half-seconds, etc.).
The second time value may be a maximum period parameter (MAX) that identifies a maximum time value of the period in which the period process is to occur. Like the MIN parameter, the MAX parameter may also be expressed in any unit of time. A process can use the MAX parameter to, for example, specify that a periodic process is to occur at least once every [MAX] seconds.
A third parameter may be the event identifier parameter (ID), which may identify the process making the system call, the process that is being registered (e.g., if the underlying periodic process is already known), and/or the periodic event that is to occur. Many variations to this example system call are also possible. For example, the parameters may be added, removed, or modified. The event identifier parameter may be omitted as a parameter of the system call itself if, for example, the event is predetermined or if the event is identified by the call itself (e.g., if the system call already includes information identifying the event and/or the process making the call).
In alternative embodiments, one or both of the time values may be expressed in terms of a "don't care" value, indicating that the requesting process does not care what the minimum and/or maximum time period is to be. Such a value may be expressed as a zero time value, and may represent an open end of a time range, or a wildcard value. Using these parameters, a process may request a periodic process to occur at least once every 3.5 seconds, only once every 3.5 seconds, once every 1-2 seconds, no more than once every 5 seconds, etc.
Upon receiving the system call, the periodic scheduler may first determine, in step 402, whether the system call specified a "don't care" value for both MAX and MIN. If both values are zero, then the scheduler may infer that the requesting process does not care how often the periodic process occurs, and simply wants the periodic process to occur. This might be appropriate, for example, when the requesting process simply wants a periodic process to occur "every once in a while", but does not really care how frequently (or infrequently) the periodic process occurs. If both MAX and MIN are zero, the scheduler moves to step 403, at which time the identifier ID is added to the first entry in the schedule list. Once added, the periodic process associated with ID will occur each time the first entry in the schedule list is handled by the scheduler discussed above with respect to
If, in step 402, MIN and MAX are not both zero, they are checked in step 404 to determine whether the MIN is zero. If the MIN value is zero, then the MAX value is checked, in step 405, to determine whether the MAX value equals or exceeds the time value of the first entry in the schedule list. If it does, then, in step 406, the ID is simply added to the first entry in the schedule list. This addition is also propagated throughout all entries in the list that are integral multiples of the first entry's time value. Upon doing so, the periodic process corresponding to ID will simply occur along with the other process(es) associated with the first entry in the schedule list. To illustrate, if the existing list contained the following entries:
7 Process A 12 Process B 14 Process A 21 Process A 24 Process B
then a system call having MAX=0, MIN=0 and ID="Process C" would simply insert "Process C" along with the first entry (and its integral multiples). The resulting list would contain the following entries:
7 Process A; Process C 12 Process B 14 Process A; Process C 21 Process A; Process C 24 Process B
The registration process then concludes at step 428.
If, in step 405, the MAX value is less than the time value of the first entry in the schedule list, a new entry to the list is generated in step 407. This new entry will include a process identifier of ID, and a new time value that is less than or equal to the MAX value, and is preferably a divisor of an existing registered process' period. For example, if the list already had entries with time values of 12 and 16, the process would compare the MAX value with 6, 4, 3, 2 (the divisors of 12) and 8, 4, and 2 (the divisors of 16) to find a divisor that is less than MAX. If no divisors are less than MAX, then the new entry will simply have MAX itself as a period.
Although the value 1 is also a divisor of 12, it is ignored in the example embodiment. Alternate embodiments, however, may choose to use 1 as a valid divisor. Using 1 simply produces a large number of entries in the schedule list. Further embodiments may choose to ignore other divisors (such as 2, 3, etc.) to affect the resulting list. Further embodiments may also ignore divisors that have already been compared to the MAX value, to avoid redundancy. In the above example, the process might compare MAX with 6, 4, 3 and 2 (the divisors of 12), and 8 (the divisors of 16, excluding 4 and 2, which have already been compared). Numerous other modifications are also possible, such as placing all divisors in a sorted list, or using such a list from the largest to the smallest, and taking the largest divisor that is also less than MAX.
Step 407 includes the addition of a new first entry, as discussed above. Step 407 also includes the propagation of the new entry through the schedule list to include additional entries for each integer multiple of the period specified in the first new entry, up to the time specified in the last entry in the list. This may require the addition of new entries for the integral multiples of the new time value (if no entry for such time already exists), and/or the modification of existing entries (if an entry already exists for the time, and simply needs to add the new ID). As an example of step 407, if the schedule list presently contains the following entries:
12 Process A 24 Process A 36 Process A
and the new system call includes a MIN value of zero, a MAX value of 9, and an ID of "Process C", the process would arrive at step 407. In step 407, the scheduler would compare MAX (9) with the various divisors of 12 (the first time value in the list) to find one that is less than or equal to MAX. In this comparison, the scheduler may consider 6, 4, 3 and 2, and may realize that a period of 6 is both 1) less than MAX, and 2) a divisor of 12. The process may prefer the largest divisor that is also less than MAX, because using the largest divisor helps to minimize the number of times the system wakes up. Using 6, then, as the period for the new entry, and propagating the new entry for the remaining integral multiples of 6, results in the following list:
6 Process C 12 Process A; Process C 18 Process C 24 Process A; Process C 30 Process C 36 Process A; Process C
The integral multiples of 6 (the chosen new period for Process C) between 6 and 36 (the last entry) are: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36, and the scheduler seeks to ensure that an entry for Process C (the new ID) exists for each of those times. The entries for times 6, 18 and 30 were added because they did not previously exist, while the entries for 12, 24 and 36 were simply modified to include the Process C ID because entries for those times already existed (for Process A).
In step 407, propagation would continue through the time of the last entry in the schedule list. Then, in step 408, the scheduler determines whether the new periodic process (corresponding to "Process C", in the above example) is listed in the final entry of the schedule list. In some embodiments, the last entry of the schedule list contains IDs for all registered processes. This ensures that no time spent waiting on periodic processes is omitted as the scheduler cycles from the last entry back to the first.
In the example given above, the final entry had a time value of 36, and because the new entry's period of 6 happened to divide evenly into 36, the last entry did indeed contain the new ID (as well as the process identifiers for all previously-registered processes), and the scheduler moves on from step 408 to conclude in step 428.
If the time value of the last entry is not evenly divisible by the period of the new entry, however, then this time value is not a common multiple of the periods of all registered processes. In this case, the scheduler moves to step 409. In step 409, the scheduler begins to add entries to the schedule list corresponding to integer multiples of each of the periods of the registered processes, beginning with the time value of the last entry, and concluding when an entry is added having a time value that is a common multiple of the periods of all registered processes.
To illustrate this process of extending the list, consider the following example in which Process A has already registered with a period of 5 (e.g., 1.25 seconds), and process B has already registered with a period of 7 (e.g., 1.75 seconds). The schedule list would contain the following entries:
Process A
Process B
Process A
Process B
Process A
Process A
Process B
Process A
Process B
Process A
Process A; Process B
If a new system call is received having parameters of:
Process C (added)
Process A
Process C (added)
Process B
Process C (added)
Process A
Process C (added)

Process A; Process C (modified)

Process A
Process B; Process C (modified)
Process C (added)
Process A
Process C (added)
Process B
Process A; Process C (modified)
Process C (added)
Process A; Process B
However, at step 408, the last entry (at time=35) does not include Process C (because 35 is not evenly divisible by 3). Accordingly, in step 409, the list would be extended until an entry has a time value of the least common multiple of 5, 7 and 3 (the periods of the registered processes A, B and C, respectively). The least common multiple of these periods is time=105, so the list would be extended out to this time. In extending the list, entries are added and possibly modified for each integral multiple of each period up to and including time=105, resulting in the following schedule list:
Process C
Process A
Process C
Process B
Process C
Process A
Process C

Process A; Process C

The schedule list once again ends with an entry containing all registered processes. Using such a list, when the scheduler circulates from the last entry back to the first, the timer can safely be reset to zero without losing any time spent waiting on processes. After expanding the schedule list, the
If, in step 404, the MIN value was not zero, then the scheduler moves to step 410, which determines whether the MAX value is zero. If the MAX value is zero, then in step 411, the time value of the last entry in the schedule list is compared with the MIN value. If the time value of the last entry in the schedule list is greater than or equal to the MIN value, then the last entry will be modified in step 412 to include the ID process identifier, and the
If, in step 411, the time value of the last entry in the schedule list is less than the MIN value, then the scheduler, in step 413, sequentially compares the MIN value with the integer multiples of the time value of the last entry in the schedule list, beginning with the lowest such multiple, until a multiple is found that exceeds or equals the MIN value. This multiple is then used as the time value for a new "last" entry that is added to the schedule list in step 414. This new entry will now be the last entry in the list, as it will inherently have a time value that is the least common multiple of the periods for all registered processes (including the newest one). Then, in step 415, the schedule is expanded to contain additional entries having time values that are integer multiples of the periods for the various registered processes, where the time values lie between the time values of the old and new last entries in the list.
As an example, consider a situation in which Process A has registered with a period of 3 (e.g., 0.75 seconds), and Process B has registered with a period of 4 (e.g., 1 second). The existing schedule list would contain the following entries:
3 Process A 4 Process B 6 Process A 8 Process B 9 Process A 12 Process A; Process B
Then, assume a system call is received having MIN=30, MAX=0, and ID="Process C" (the MAX value may be a zero to indicate a "don't care" value). The
4 Process B 6 Process A 8 Process B 9 Process A 12 Process A; Process B 15 Process A 16 Process B 18 Process A 20 Process B 21 Process A 24 Process A; Process B 27 Process A 28 Process B 30 Process A 32 Process B 33 Process A 36 Process A; Process B; Process C
Using this list, the periodic process corresponding to Process C would occur once every cycle through the list, or 36 time units (e.g., 9 seconds).
If, in step 410, the MAX value is not zero, then neither MIN nor MAX are zero, and the scheduler moves to step 416, in which the time value of the last entry is compared with the MIN value. If this time value is less than the MIN value, then the scheduler moves to step 417, which determines whether any integer multiples of this time value falls within the range specified by MIN and MAX (inclusive). If any such multiple does fall in this range, then a new entry is added, in step 418, having that multiple as a time period value, and the new ID as the process identifier. The new entry, having a time value that is an integer multiple of the previous last value, is inherently a common multiple of the periods of all previously-registered processes, and the new entry serves as the new last entry in the schedule list, having process identifiers for all registered processes. As such, the periodic process for the newly-registered process would be executed once each time the monitor passed through the schedule list.
In step 419, additional entries are added to "fill-in" the schedule list for the time values between the time value of the previous "last" entry and the new last entry. This step of filling in is similar to step 415, and may simply involve examining the period of each registered process, adding entries for the integer multiples of these periods that lie between the time value of the previous "last" entry and that of the new last entry, until the time value of the new final entry is reached.
If, in step 417, there are no multiples of the time value for the last entry in the schedule list that fall between MIN and MAX (inclusive); or if, in step 416, the time value of the last entry is not less than MIN; then the scheduler moves to step 420. In step 420, the time value of the first entry in the schedule list is compared with the MAX value. If this first time value is greater than MAX, then the scheduler moves to step 421. In step 421, the scheduler compares each divisor (if any) of the first time value with the range specified by MIN and MAX. If a divisor falls within this range, then a new first entry will be added in step 422 having the divisor as a time value, and the new process ID as a process identifier. After adding the new first entry, the rest of the schedule list is filled-in with entries to have the ID's process performed at every time value that is an integer multiple of the divisor. This filling in occurs in step 423, and propagates through until the last entry, which will inherently be an integer multiple of the divisor. The process then concludes in step 428.
If, in step 421, there are no divisors within the specified range; or if, in step 420, the time value of the first entry is not greater than MAX; then the scheduler moves to step 424. In step 424, the scheduler checks to see if any period of a previously-registered process fits within the range. If so, then in step 425, the new ID is added to each schedule entry that contains the process identifier for the matching previously-registered process.
If, in step 424, no period of a previously-registered process fits within the range, then the MIN value is used as a period for the ID process as a default. A new first entry is added in step 426 for the ID, having a time value of MIN. In step 427, additional entries are made to ensure that the process for ID is carried out with a period of MIN. The schedule list is also extended as needed to have the last entry once again have a time value that is the least common multiple of all registered processes. This extension step may be carried out any number of ways, such as determining the least common multiple first, adding a new last entry having this least common multiple as a time value, and then filling in the rest of the schedule list for each registered process. A method similar to steps 407-409 may also be used. The process may then conclude in step 428.
Through the above process, the scheduler may act to synchronize some or all of the various periodic activities related to the registered processes. Accordingly, in some example embodiments, new registered processes may have their periodic "pinging" and/or "response" scheduled to occur at the same time(s) as one or more currently-scheduled processes.
Although the above method steps are described in particular detail, it will be understood that many alternative approaches may be taken to achieve the same result. For example, various mathematical methods may be used to locate a least common multiple, or to propagate a newly-added entry by adding additional entries having time values that are integer multiples a process periods. As another example, a "don't care" value other than zero may be used as parameters. The size of the schedule list may be adjusted by adjusting the range of integer multiples that are used in the various comparisons. The steps in which a divisor is compared (e.g., step 407) may give preference to larger divisors, smaller divisors, or other types of divisors to further adjust the schedule list.
Another alternative may have step 426 using the MAX value as a default, instead of the MIN. A further modification may involve a schedule list that does not end with the least common multiple for a time value. Additionally, the various steps may be rearranged and/or interchanged. For example, steps 424-427 might be made to occur prior to step 416, wherein the system gives preference to using existing periods rather than adding new entries.
In a further embodiment, the various MIN and MAX values associated with the registered processes may be retained by the scheduler, even after the processes have been registered. In such embodiments, when a new process requests registration, the MIN and MAX values for the already-scheduled processes may be retrieved and used once again to determine the most efficient schedule using the least common multiple of the registered process' periods (including the period of the newly-registered process).

In 2014, Yuehua Entertainment, one of the most famous Chinese entertainment companies, joined hands with Starship Entertainment for an interesting debut: UNIQ, a 5 member male idol group. After a through preparation for more than 3 years (the members were trained under YG Entertainment), 3 Chinese members (Wang Yibo, Li Wenhan and Zhou Yixuan) and 2 Korean members (Kim Sungjoo and Cho Seungyeon ) officially debuted as UNIQ in October 2014 with the single titled "Falling in Love".
The name of the group was formed from the combination of two words; unicorn and unique. It wants to highlight not only the potential of promoting in two countries, but also the members being special and their desire to become legends in the music world. With the release of their first mini-album "EOEO" in April 2015, UNIQ was able to stand out not only in the Korean kpop industry, but also in the Chinese market as well. UNIQ gained quite some recognition by winning different awards, holding fan meetings all around Asia and appearing in various TV shows as well as TV commercials.
It's not only the name, their singing and dancing abilities which are unique. Every single member stands out in his own way and this is one of the best characteristics of this group.
Zhou Yixuan is the leader for all the Chinese activities. He is the eldest of all the members, being born in 1990. He is a charismatic and expressive rapper and was in fact scouted by Yueha Entertainment at KOD (Keep On Dancing), one of the biggest Asian hip-hop competitions. It's said that he decided to become an artist after seeing a performance by Rain, dreaming of being on stage like him.
Li Wenhan was born in 1994 and is the main vocals of the group. Mind that he's not only gifted in singing: he's very skilled in sports and his specialty is swimming. Before his debut with UNIQ, Li Wenhan was studying in the United States, but gave up everything to focus on his career in the music world.
Wang Yibo, born in 1997, is the third and last Chinese member of the group. He's not only the maknae, but also the main dancer, rapper and even a very the distinctive visual for the group. He's very lively and talkative, definitely skilled in dancing but he dreams of being recognized not only as dancer, but as a well-rounded artist.
Kim Sungjoo was born in 1994 and is the main vocalist of the group, as well as the leader for the Korean activities. Fluent not only in Korean, but also in conversational Japanese and Chinese, he stands out for his great visual and lovely smile. Because of his beauty, he already had a consistent fandom prior to his debut with UNIQ. He loves taekwondo and dreams of becoming a talented musician.
Cho Seungyeon is a '96-liner and is active both as a rapper and a vocalist in the group. His other passion is football, and he was even part of a Brazilian football school before returning to Korea to pursue the artist career. It's said he's fluent in Korean, Portuguese, Tagalog and Mandarin Chinese.

Enjoy a restful sleep in the spacious bedrooms, furnished with luxurious linens on comfortable queen-sized teak sleigh beds. You will also enjoy cooking a meal in the upgraded kitchen with brand new appliances including a convection oven, stainless steel refrigerator, and granite countertops. The bathroom features a spacious marble shower and all new fixtures. Relish the outdoors amongst mature fruit trees such as avocado, mountain apple and guava – all in the spacious fenced in backyard. Enjoy a meal on the picnic table or a book on the hammock. For your convenience, the property comes with covered carport for parking and a washer & dryer for your use. All the amenities of home, but in the beautiful Kailua Town!
Conveniently located within walking distance from Kailua Town Center. Everything you need is literally steps from the home – so many cute boutiques to shop from, restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Whole Foods for groceries, and many more quaint shops that you can only find in Kailua! You are just blocks from breathtaking Kailua and Lanikai Beaches – you can walk, bike or drive, the choice is yours!
Kailua: meaning "two waters," was named for the two major lagoons, the Kawainui Lagoon and the Kaelepulu Lagoon, fed by freshwater tributaries off of the Koolau Mountains.
Water is the essence of Kailua. Kailua's beaches (Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach) have always ranked among the most beautiful and tranquil in the world. This community remains one of the most desirable residential neighborhoods in Hawai'i.
Kailua is becoming a haven for local artists and the rejuvenation of the Hawaiian culture including several famous hula halau (dance troops).
Kailua Town is known for the wide variety of water sport and beach activities it offers, from large family picnics, to windsurfing or kayaking. Kailua is a place to enjoy the beach, and stay for the art galleries, specialty stores and collection of unique eateries that make it Windward Oahu's destination for fun, sun and the arts.
It is home to a diverse population of approximately 50,000 in the central urban core with surrounding residential areas and is home to approximately 1,500 thriving small businesses. It's a unique Hawaiian beach town with its beautiful protected beaches – picturesque and uncrowded – that is separated by the Oahu's metropolitan Honolulu hub by an excellent and improved highway system.
Kailua is truly a natural beauty with its beaches, bays, mountains and wetlands.
My wife & I are love to travel the world but call Hawaii home. We've often stayed in vacation rentals when we travel and find the experience wonderful and exhilarating and a great way to experience a new city, new people and new culture! We have been vacation renting our properties on Oahu and Florida for almost a decade and our aim is to provide our guests the comforts of home and share with them a little piece of our life in Hawaii.
Kailua is a vibrant, ever-changing town filled with new and old. The home is centrally located to take advantage of all that Kailua has to offer.
We had a wonderful time staying here. We were walking distance to many great little shops and restaurants. A short drive to the beach. Staying in a neighborhood made us feel like locals!
This was the best rental my wife, two kids and I had ever stayed at. First off, there is a great yard in the back with beautiful grass perfect for lounging. Complete with a grill and a healthy tree producing some of the biggest avocados I've ever seen. There is no need for AC with the trade winds blowing through the well ventilated house. Downtown isn't more than a short walk away and don't get me started on how convenient the washer/dryer proved to be. The house was very roomy and very well furnished. We will be back!
My friend and I stayed for 6 nights and had an amazing time. The house had everything you could need and the location was perfect. We will definitely back, we certainly didn't want to leave!
The home was very comfortable and we really enjoyed our time here. When we arrived, we were so surprised by how much room the home provides. The full kitchen was well equipped and the washer/dryer invaluable. We enjoyed evenings on the deck and used the BBQ almost nightly. It is located in a very friendly neighborhood and the yard is beautiful although it felt less private with the 2-story homes in back. The location is walking distance to downtown shopping and restaurants, and for those more ambitious walkers, Kailua Beach which is also 5 minutes by car. It was the perfect home base for our active group with short drives to beaches, hiking, kayaking and hang gliding locations. What a great value!
The owner reached out to me to write a review because not only have I stayed in this property but I have also stayed in his other properties and dealt with him extensively in the past. Ever since staying at his North Shore property on our first trip, I have made sure to reach out to him first to see if he has any properties available during our stay in Hawaii because I would prefer to stay in any of his properties over anywhere else. Dealing with him has been very easy as he is funny and knowledgeable about the neighborhood and Oahu as a whole. His properties are very clean, well equipped and nicely furnished (none of that kitschy decor you find in other rentals) and are a great deal considering his comparatively low nightly rates. He is very accommodating - if we need to check in earlier or check out later, we just simply asked and if the timing works it's fine by him, he didn't even charge us extra to check out later. We got to enjoy being a part of Kailua while staying here because it truly is in a residential neighborhood. Quick walks to mom & pop restaurants and shops were so convenient and gave us such a unique experience and made us feel like we were residents. Got to know a few of our neighbors who were more than willing to give us suggestions on what to do and where to go in their lovely Kailua town. I only wish we could have stayed longer. But, rest assured, we will be calling Thomas once again to see if this or any of his other properties are available so we can plan on staying with him on our next trip to Hawaii. We trust him and he has done right by us.
This property exceeded our expectations. My husband, son, daughter-in-law, and I spent the week between Christmas Day and New Year's Day in this 2/1 home. The home is spacious and comfortable, and on a corner lot in a neighborhood. We preferred that to a resort.
Thomas ensured the home was well-equipped and spotless when we arrived. Five minute walks into town was all we needed to take advantage of excellent restaurants, coffee shops, and local shopping. We were short drives from several nice hikes. Incredible scenery is everywhere. Kailua Beach and its surrounding park are picturesque and are only 5 minutes by car from the house. We enjoyed lounging on the back deck in the mornings and evenings.
This property is an extraordinary value, and the owner's care and attention to details are apparent everywhere.
There are so many shops and restaurants (enjoyed by the locals, not just tourist joints) right outside your doorstep. Walk, bike or drive!
