The McLean Avenue Merchants Association (M.A.M.A.) has announced plans to hold its third annual Fall Festival on Saturday, September 14. The family-friendly event takes place on Yonkers' McLean Ave., between Woodlawn Avenue and McCollum Place.
The festival wishes to build on the success of the last two years by offering a wider variety of food, drinks and entertainment. It hosts various raffles, rides, games and competitions. The event also features live musical performances by 2U, Celtic Justice, David Barkow, the McLean Avenue Band, the Vintage Kings and a Frank Sinatra impersonator.
Three Irish music schools – the Anne Marie Acosta School of Music, the Erin Loughran School of Music, and the Woodlawn School of Music – and three Irish dance schools – the Bridget Flynn School of Irish Dance, the Deirdre O'Mara School of Irish Dance, and the Megan McGough School of Irish Dance – also will appear.
R.J. Puma, chairman of M.A.M.A. and proprietor of Artuso's Pastry Shop, says: "This year we've extended it down a little further, including three new bars and restaurants . . . we've extended the event one extra hour. We have more rides, more games, more bouncy castles, more concessions and we're going to have more fun."
A "Rock 'n' Rods" classic car show, scheduled to appear at Coyne Park, headlines a list of new attractions for the event.
Vehicular traffic will be barred throughout the festival, allowing attendees to peruse freely local bars, restaurants and shops. Curbside tents and tables, located on both sides of McLean Ave., afford vendors an opportunity to showcase goods and services.
Steve Janetti, member of M.A.M.A. and editor of the Yonkers Value Guide, believes that "in three years, the McLean Avenue Merchants Association's fall festival has become Yonkers' signature event, with a good time to be had by all."
Oliver Charles, proprietor of The Butcher's Fancy, says, "People who once lived in this neighborhood and have moved away, who very seldom meet up with the neighbors that they used to live next to – it's a chance for them to get to meet [the neighbors] and talk about the old days."
With regards to his business' popular Irish sausage eating competition, he adds that "Bubba 'Chow Hound' Brown will be defending his title." Last year, Brown ate approximately three pounds of Irish sausage in five minutes.
An additional cannoli eating competition will feature outside Artuso's Pastry Shop.
Excitement for the festival seems genuine and pervasive among many attendees, including Anne Marie Acosta. Her music school will perform at the McCollum Stage.
She says, "I think it's fabulous. It's a great chance to see people from the neighborhood. And I like that my students won't feel as though they need to perform against others that day. Really, it's just an opportunity to have some fun."
Nearby Empire City Casino, located on Yonkers Ave., offers free parking to anyone who wishes to visit the festival. Shuttles will provide transportation to attendees from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Credit: University of Washington, MSNWSending astronauts to Mars aboard a superfast spacecraft powered by nuclear fusion may seem like a sci-fi dream, but it's entirely attainable, scientists say.
The physics behind a fusion-driven rocket have been demonstrated in the laboratory, so such a device may well be propelling people on 90-day trips to the Red Planet in a matter of decades, according to a team of researchers working on the technology.
"This is a reality, basically, " Anthony Pancotti, of the space-propulsion company MSNW, said Sept. 25 during a presentation with NASA's Future In-Space Operations working group. "Fusion occurs in the sun, and also in our labs." [Superfast Propulsion Concepts (Images)]
Fast track to Mars
A trip to Mars and back takes about 500 days using traditional chemical propulsion systems. Spending so much time in deep space poses serious health risks for astronauts, who would be exposed to lots of radiation and would have to exercise like mad to minimize bone and muscle loss.
Developing a faster propulsion system is thus a chief goal of NASA, which aims to get people to the vicinity of the Red Planet by the mid-2030s. The space agency has funded Pancotti's fusion-rocket team — led by John Slough of the University of Washington — through its NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program, or NIAC.
"We feel we've defined a very good problem, a very good mission, and we're focused on the fusion device to fit this mission, " he said.
Because nuclear fusion is an extremely efficient and powerful energy source, this mission could be accomplished in a single launch of the most powerful version of NASA's Space Launch System mega-rocket, which is in development. It would take perhaps nine launches to mount such an effort with chemical propulsion, Pancotti said.
How it would work
Fusion occurs when the nuclei of two or more atoms combine, releasing energy. The sun and other stars convert this energy to light, and the phenomenon also gives hydrogen bombs their enormous destructive power.
The team's fusion-driven rocket would rely on a plasma created using deuterium and tritium, "heavy" isotopes of hydrogen. ("Normal" hydrogen contains no neutrons, while deuterium has one and tritium contains two.)
Bubbles of this plasma would be injected into a chamber, where a magnetic field would collapse metal rings around them, briefly compressing the bubbles into a fusion state. The energy released by the fusion reactions would vaporize and ionize the metal, which would be accelerated out the back of the spacecraft through a nozzle, creating thrust.
Solar panels would generate the energy necessary onboard the spacecraft to put all of this in motion.
There is no reason to doubt the feasibility of such a concept, Pancotti said.
"This is probably the most simple and straightforward, lowest-cost fusion propulsion system you can think of, " he said. "The fundamental physics have been proven in the laboratory with hardware, and fusion yields, neutrons, have been produced. So what I'm talking about is building a device with known physics and with a proven method."
Further, that device can be built using commercial off-the-shelf components, so no engineering leaps should be required, Pancotti added.
Slough and his team are building hardware and conducting experiments to help bring the technology closer to implementation. They hope to check off a big milestone sometime in 2014.
"We're in the lab, we're building the coils, we're showing the scaling and we'll be producing the neutrons within the next year to show that fusion is occurring, and it's occurring at the scales required to build a fusion-driven rocket, " Pancotti said.

Job a Real Person.—It has been supposed by some that the book of Job is an allegory, not a real narrative, on account of the artificial character of many of its statements. Thus the sacred numbers, three and seven, often occur. He had seven thousand sheep, seven sons, both before and after his trials; his three friends sit down with him seven days and seven nights; both before and after his trials he had three daughters. So also the number and form of the speeches of the several speakers seem to be artificial. The name of Job, too, is derived from an Arabic word signifying repentance.
But Eze 14:14 (compare Eze 14:16, 20) speaks of "Job" in conjunction with "Noah and Daniel," real persons. St. James (Jas 5:11) also refers to Job as an example of "patience," which he would not have been likely to do had Job been only a fictitious person. Also the names of persons and places are specified with a particularity not to be looked for in an allegory. As to the exact doubling of his possessions after his restoration, no doubt the round number is given for the exact number, as the latter approached near the former; this is often done in undoubtedly historical books. As to the studied number and form of the speeches, it seems likely that the arguments were substantially those which appear in the book, but that the studied and poetic form was given by Job himself, guided by the Holy Spirit. He lived one hundred and forty years after his trials, and nothing would be more natural than that he should, at his leisure, mould into a perfect form the arguments used in the momentous debate, for the instruction of the Church in all ages. Probably, too, the debate itself occupied several sittings; and the number of speeches assigned to each was arranged by preconcerted agreement, and each was allowed the interval of a day or more to prepare carefully his speech and replies; this will account for the speakers bringing forward their arguments in regular series, no one speaking out of his turn. As to the name Job—repentance (supposing the derivation correct)—it was common in old times to give a name from circumstances which occurred at an advanced period of life, and this is no argument against the reality of the person.
Where Job Lived.—"Uz," according to Gesenius, means a light, sandy soil, and was in the north of Arabia-Deserta, between Palestine and the Euphrates, called by Ptolemy (Geography, 19) Ausitai or Aisitai. In Ge 10:23; 22:21; 36:28; and 1Ch 1:17, 42, it is the name of a man. In Jer 25:20; La 4:21; and Job 1:1, it is a country. Uz, in Ge 22:21, is said to be the son of Nahor, brother of Abraham—a different person from the one mentioned (Ge 10:23), a grandson of Shem. The probability is that the country took its name from the latter of the two; for this one was the son of Aram, from whom the Arameans take their name, and these dwelt in Mesopotamia, between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris. Compare as to the dwelling of the sons of Shem in Ge 10:30, "a mount of the East," answering to "men of the East" (Job 1:3). Rawlinson, in his deciphering of the Assyrian inscriptions, states that "Uz is the prevailing name of the country at the mouth of the Euphrates." It is probable that Eliphaz the Temanite and the Sabeans dwelt in that quarter; and we know that the Chaldeans resided there, and not near Idumea, which some identify with Uz. The tornado from "the wilderness" (Job 1:19) agrees with the view of it being Arabia-Deserta. Job (Job 1:3) is called "the greatest of the men of the East"; but Idumea was not east, but south of Palestine: therefore in Scripture language, the phrase cannot apply to that country, but probably refers to the north of Arabia-Deserta, between Palestine, Idumea, and the Euphrates. So the Arabs still show in the Houran a place called Uz as the residence of Job.
The Age When Job Lived.—Eusebius fixes it two ages before Moses, that is, about the time of Isaac: eighteen hundred years before Christ, and six hundred after the Deluge. Agreeing with this are the following considerations: 1. Job's length of life is patriarchal, two hundred years. 2. He alludes only to the earliest form of idolatry, namely, the worship of the sun, moon, and heavenly hosts (called Saba, whence arises the title "Lord of Sabaoth," as opposed to Sabeanism) (Job 31:26-28). 3. The number of oxen and rams sacrificed, seven, as in the case of Balaam. God would not have sanctioned this after the giving of the Mosaic law, though He might graciously accommodate Himself to existing customs before the law. 4. The language of Job is Hebrew, interspersed occasionally with Syriac and Arabic expressions, implying a time when all the Shemitic tribes spoke one common tongue and had not branched into different dialects, Hebrew, Syriac, and Arabic. 5. He speaks of the most ancient kind of writing, namely, sculpture. Riches also are reckoned by cattle. The Hebrew word, translated "a piece of money," ought rather be rendered "a lamb." 6. There is no allusion to the exodus from Egypt and to the miracles that accompanied it; nor to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Patrick, however, thinks there is); though there is to the Flood (Job 22:17); and these events, happening in Job's vicinity, would have been striking illustrations of the argument for God's interposition in destroying the wicked and vindicating the righteous, had Job and his friends known of them. Nor is there any undoubted reference to the Jewish law, ritual, and priesthood. 7. The religion of Job is that which prevailed among the patriarchs previous to the law; sacrifices performed by the head of the family; no officiating priesthood, temple, or consecrated altar.
The Writer.—All the foregoing facts accord with Job himself having been the author. The style of thought, imagery, and manners, are such as we should look for in the work of an Arabian emir. There is precisely that degree of knowledge of primitive tradition (see Job 31:33, as to Adam) which was universally spread abroad in the days of Noah and Abraham, and which was subsequently embodied in the early chapters of Genesis. Job, in his speeches, shows that he was much more competent to compose the work than Elihu, to whom Lightfoot attributes it. The style forbids its being attributed to Moses, to whom its composition is by some attributed, "whilst he was among the Midianites, about 1520 B.C." But the fact, that it, though not a Jewish book, appears among the Hebrew sacred writings, makes it likely that it came to the knowledge of Moses during the forty years which he passed in parts of Arabia, chiefly near Horeb; and that he, by divine guidance, introduced it as a sacred writing to the Israelites, to whom, in their affliction, the patience and restoration of Job were calculated to be a lesson of especial utility. That it is inspired appears from the fact that Paul (1Co 3:19) quotes it (Job 5:13) with the formula, "It is written." Our Savior, too Mt 24:28), plainly refers to Job 29:30. Compare also Jas 4:10 and 1Pe 5:6 with Job 22:29; Ro 11:34, 35 with Job 15:8. It is probably the oldest book in the world. It stands among the Hagiographa in the threefold division of Scripture into the Law, the Prophets, and the Hagiographa ("Psalms," Lu 24:44).
Design of the Book.—It is a public debate in poetic form on an important question concerning the divine government; moreover the prologue and epilogue, which are in prose, shed the interest of a living history over the debate, which would otherwise be but a contest of abstract reasonings. To each speaker of the three friends three speeches are assigned. Job having no one to stand by him is allowed to reply to each speech of each of the three. Eliphaz, as the oldest, leads the way. Zophar, at his third turn, failed to speak, thus virtually owning himself overcome (Job 27:1-23). Therefore Job continued his reply, which forms three speeches (Job 26:1-14; 27:1-23; 28:1-28; 29:1-31:40). Elihu (Job 32:1-37:24) is allowed four speeches. Jehovah makes three addresses (Job 38:1-41:34). Thus, throughout there is a tripartite division. The whole is divided into three parts—the prologue, poem proper, and epilogue. The poem, into three—(1) The dispute of Job and his three friends; (2) The address of Elihu; (3) The address of God. There are three series in the controversy, and in the same order. The epilogue (Job 42:1-17) also is threefold; Job's justification, reconciliation with his friends, restoration. The speakers also in their successive speeches regularly advance from less to greater vehemence. With all this artificial composition, everything seems easy and natural.
The question to be solved, as exemplified in the case of Job, is, Why are the righteous afflicted consistently with God's justice? The doctrine of retribution after death, no doubt, is the great solution of the difficulty. And to it Job plainly refers in Job 14:14, and Job 19:25. The objection to this, that the explicitness of the language on the resurrection in Job is inconsistent with the obscurity on the subject in the early books of the Old Testament, is answered by the fact that Job enjoyed the divine vision (Job 38:1; 42:5), and therefore, by inspiration, foretold these truths. Next, the revelations made outside of Israel being few needed to be the more explicit; thus Balaam's prophecy (Nu 24:17) was clear enough to lead the wise men of the East by the star (Mt 2:2); and in the age before the written law, it was the more needful for God not to leave Himself without witness of the truth. Still Job evidently did not fully realize the significance designed by the Spirit in his own words (compare 1Pe 1:11, 12). The doctrine, though existing, was not plainly revealed or at least understood. Hence he does not mainly refer to this solution. Yes, and even now, we need something in addition to this solution. David, who firmly believed in a future retribution (Ps 16:10; 17:15), still felt the difficulty not entirely solved thereby (Ps 83:1-18). The solution is not in Job's or in his three friends' speeches. It must, therefore, be in Elihu's. God will hold a final judgment, no doubt, to clear up all that seems dark in His present dealings; but He also now providentially and morally governs the world and all the events of human life. Even the comparatively righteous are not without sin which needs to be corrected. The justice and love of God administer the altogether deserved and merciful correction. Affliction to the godly is thus mercy and justice in disguise. The afflicted believer on repentance sees this. "Via crucis, via salutis" ["The way of the cross, the way of deliverance"]. Though afflicted, the godly are happier even now than the ungodly, and when affliction has attained its end, it is removed by the Lord. In the Old Testament the consolations are more temporal and outward; in the New Testament, more spiritual; but in neither to the entire exclusion of the other. "Prosperity," says Bacon, "is the blessing of the Old Testament; adversity that of the New Testament, which is the mark of God's more especial favor. Yet even in the Old Testament, if you listen to David's harp, you shall hear as many hearse-like airs as carols; and the pencil of the Holy Ghost has labored more in describing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon. Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; and adversity is not without comforts and hopes." This solution of Elihu is seconded by the addresses of God, in which it is shown God must be just (because He is God), as Elihu had shown how God can be just, and yet the righteous be afflicted. It is also acquiesced in by Job, who makes no reply. God reprimands the "three" friends, but not Elihu. Job's general course is approved; he is directed to intercede for his friends, and is restored to double his former prosperity.
Poetry.—In all countries poetry is the earliest form of composition as being best retained in the memory. In the East especially it was customary for sentiments to be preserved in a terse, proverbial, and poetic form (called maschal). Hebrew poetry is not constituted by the rhythm or meter, but in a form peculiar to itself: 1. In an alphabetical arrangement somewhat like our acrostic. For instance, La 1:1-22. 2. The same verse repeated at intervals; as in Ps 42:1-11; 107:1-43. 3. Rhythm of gradation. Psalms of degrees, Ps 120:1-134:3, in which the expression of the previous verse is resumed and carried forward in the next (Ps 121:1-8). 4. The chief characteristic of Hebrew poetry is parallelism, or the correspondence of the same ideas in the parallel clauses. The earliest instance is Enoch's prophecy (Jude 14), and Lamech's parody of it (Ge 4:23). Three kinds occur: (1) The synonymous parallelism, in which the second is a repetition of the first, with or without increase of force (Ps 22:27; Isa 15:1); sometimes with double parallelism (Isa 1:15). (2) The antithetic, in which the idea of the second clause is the converse of that in the first (Pr 10:1). (3) The synthetic, where there is a correspondence between different propositions, noun answering to noun, verb to verb, member to member, the sentiment, moreover, being not merely echoed, or put in contrast, but enforced by accessory ideas (Job 3:3-9). Also alternate (Isa 51:19). "Desolation and destruction, famine and sword," that is, desolation by famine, and destruction by the sword. Introverted; where the fourth answers to the first, and the third to the second (Mt 7:6). Parallelism thus often affords a key to the interpretation. For fuller information, see Lowth (Introduction to Isaiah, and Lecture on Hebrew Poetry) and Herder (Spirit of Hebrew Poetry, translated by Marsh). The simpler and less artificial forms of parallelism prevail in Job—a mark of its early age.

Let's travel back in time to the year 2013. I was in grade 9 and living what I would consider a pretty boring life; I went to school, hung out with friends, dreaded math class and watched a bit more TV than recommended. Every Monday, I would talk to my friends about what they had done over the weekend, and I'd listen to them tell me about all of their cool adventures.
As for me, most of the time it was the same story – lots of TV watching, time at church, grocery shopping and of course, algebra homework. It was not as fun as going to the movies, or camping, or getting over your fear of heights with good company. It was around that time that my mom signed me up to be matched with a Big Sister.
Let's fast forward to 2014 in Ottawa, Ontario at the BBBSC and BGCCAN YOUth In Office event. At this point I had been matched with my Big Sister Claire for a while, and since our match, my weekends became all the more eventful. We went to movies, camping, and I even tried to get over my fear of heights with her support (although I admit, I'm still working on the whole heights thing). I would share and talk about my dreams and passions and Claire would listen to me and advise me. She'd tell me about cool opportunities and she would help me to apply for them. One of those amazing opportunities was YOUth In Office. It was the first time I'd ever been to Parliament Hill and I left the 3 day event feeling like my voice mattered.
The following year I co-lead a PowerPoint! I never would have thought that I'd be holding a microphone, having people listen to me speak. Big Brothers Big Sisters believed in my abilities and encouraged my passions and gave me a platform to voice my opinions. The most recent example of this was at the National Convention. As a member of the National Youth Council, I was able to discuss and voice my concerns and ideas with other amazing youth and be heard. I left feeling more empowered than ever before. I can't wait to partake in more world changing conversations around youth mentoring at future conventions.

Overview of Objects in Maple
Introduction to Objects
Objects in Maple
Objects are a programming construct that allow data and procedures to be encapsulated together. A class describes the contents (the data and procedures) of a group of objects. Objects that belong to a class are called instances of the class. The contents of an object are referred to as its members. There are two types of members: data members and member procedures. The member procedures of an object are called methods. An object's members have access controls which limit where the member can be accessed from, similar to modules. Members declared exported can be accessed from anywhere. Members declared local can only be accessed from within the object's methods.
In Maple, objects are a special type of module. Thus routines for working with modules also work with objects.
There are many benefits of object oriented programming.
The implementation of a class can be changed radically without changing the interface of exported methods. Thus code that uses the objects will not need to change when the internal implementation changes.
As objects are self-contained they can be easily reused.
Objects can define methods that allow them to integrate with standard Maple syntax. Thus users can create objects that can be used like builtin types.
A set of classes can implement a common set of exports. Thus a procedure that uses only the common exports will work with any objects from any of the classes without needing to know which particular class the objects belong to.
Objects in Maple are created using the syntax for creating modules or by copying existing objects. When using the module declaration syntax, adding option object will create an object instead of a module. The declaration defines the class instantiated by the object. Names declared local are internal to the object and cannot be accessed from outside of the object. Names declared exported can be accessed outside of the object. To create a new object by copying an existing one, use the Object function.
For a detailed discussion of creating objects in Maple, see Creating a New Object.
Exported Methods
Exported methods are called using standard function call syntax, and not module member syntax (:-). To call the method m of an object o, call
m( o ):
For more information about methods, see Overview of Object Methods.
Overloading builtin Routines
Objects in Maple can define methods that will be invoked when an object is passed into certain Maple routines of type builtin. For example, if an object has a map method, that method is invoked when that object is passed into the map function.
For a detailed discussion of overloading builtin routines for objects, see Objects Overloading builtin Routines.
Objects in Maple can implement methods that will be automatically invoked when those objects are used with certain operators. For example an object with a + method can be used in sum expressions, and the object's + method will be invoked. This allows objects to be used naturally in Maple expressions.
For a detailed discussion of implementing operators for objects, see Objects Overloading Operators.
Objects and Types
All objects are of type object. In addition type and :: can be used to determine if an object is an instance of a particular class by passing an object of the expected class as the type. You can refine this type checking by defining the ModuleType method.
Special Methods
There is a set of special methods that a class can define that will be used in particular situations. See the method specific help pages for complete details.
ModuleCopy: The ModuleCopy method is invoked when an object is copied via the Object routine.
ModuleType: The ModuleType method is invoked when attempting to determine if an object is of a particular class. It allows a class to have a more precise type check.
ModulePrint: The ModulePrint method is invoked when a module is pretty-printed.
ModuleDeconstruct: The ModuleDeconstruct method is invoked when an object is converted to a 1-dimensional form, usually Maple syntax.
ModuleApply: The ModuleApply method is invoked when an object is used as a function in a function call expression.
ModuleLoad: The ModuleLoad method is invoked when the object class is read in from a library.
ModuleUnload: The ModuleUnload method is invoked when an object is collected.
ModuleIterator: The ModuleIterator method creates an interface that can be used to iterate over the contents of the object.

Many acquisitions fail to live up to expectations. The reasons range from poor deal structure, poor strategic fit, failure to identify problems with the quality of earnings, overly optimistic estimates of synergies, to lack of an integration plan. Evaluating a company in another country compounds these risks. You are dealing with a different language and cultural barriers; different business ethics, legal systems, filing regulations, and accounting principles; transfer pricing that affects taxation – and often government involvement.
But international deals often provide the best growth opportunities. They can offer improved returns from economies of scale, new target markets for existing products or services, access to commodity materials, and a hedge against seasonality. Even savvy managements and private equity investors cannot know everything they should to make a deal successful, so they need an experienced international advisor.

well at least the whole "peter never existed" thing explains how olivia saw him in the red universe earlier this season... but seriously though, WHAT THE BLEEP?!?!?

This episode was freaking AWESOME! I'm with everyone else, WTH?! It's like Peter was deleted! I knew Olivia wasn't going to suffer a permanent death but I had no idea that Peter was going to go.
What I want to know is if Peter never existed and no one remembers him what is Walter's excuse for crossing over and screwing up the two universes to begin with?
I cannot wait for season four for some answers! - May 6, 2011 at 11:23 PM

I believe the explanation will be that Walter crossed over and saved Peter, but August never saved him from drowning after they got to our side.

@R exactly, I expected either Olivia or Peter to "die" during the episode but not "permanently" (quotes because I don't believe it to be quite so permanent). Either the reasons for Walter crossing over or one or both Olivia's will start to remember Peter and he'll come back...hopefully.
Brilliant season finale. I was confused at first with water and hope being in the title sequence but I think those were explained pretty well in the episode. I expect season 4 will continue to blow our collective mind!
Also I'm considering No More to be in reference to Peter rather than the alt universe. - May 6, 2011 at 11:41 PM

Actually it was September (Michael Cerveris) who saved Walter and Peter, August was another Observer who died in the episode "August" but I get what you mean, if the universes are combined isn't everyone who doesn't know what the fuck is going on going to freak the fuck out? Or is it just Liberty Island? What the fuck did The Observers do to Peter? Deleted him from existence? What aew they, i mean its been mentioned a few times they r not human, but seriously what r they up to? Kinda reminds me of the book "John dies at the end", theres these beings who if they touch someone they blink out of existence, and suddenly nobody remembers them and all traces of them disappear and are 'course corrected" and it's certainly not any accident, it's to keep people who know too much about the way things really r quiet... damn time travelers! I don't know I'm all over the place... this was an amazing season finale, probably one of the best hours of television in years. I honestly hope Olivia remembers Peter a la earlier in the season in the redverse but who knows, this show has made me extremely happy and can't wait til next fall! Its gonna be a long summer!

Never realized how much of an emotional rollercoaster one episode of Fringe could take me on. Best show on television, hands down. I'm completely hooked and I'm dying to see what happens in the next season!

Over the seasons we have watched Peter and Walter grow closer as we watched Peter and Olivia
grow closer. We hurt with them, we cried with them we felt their joy and pain as they grew we grew closer to them too. Now to have Peter not be remembered by anyone to have him disapear is more painful then having one world distroy another world.
Peter may have joined the two worlds but our world (the fans world) has been crushed when Peter disapaired not to be remembered.
I too believe that Olivia will see Peter again and bring him back just as Peter brought her back from the Red world to ours. Hope is the only thing I have to hold on to right now and I am holding on to it with both hands. - May 7, 2011 at 12:07 AM

Just a thought...
Maybe this keeps happening (going back in time and changing it) and observers have been created and sent back also, (by the first people aka Walter etc) so they can observe and find a way to save both Peter and both universe... - May 7, 2011 at 12:23 AM

Very well said. I feel that our Olivia and Peter are connected by a bond that transcends time, reality, universes, and science (even at its fringe-iest). They belong together. They bring out the best in one another. And they always bring each other back.
I find it interesting that in the second to last ep of this season, she told Walter: "I know you want to believe in me. But believing doesn't make it true." And then what did she do...fricken controlled the machine, just like he believed she could! Also, Peter told Olivia: "Reality is just a matter of perception."
Now, Fringe rarely drops a line without meaning behind it. So, I'm hoping that Olivia will take a leaf out of Walter's book and believe Peter back to her...and to us!!! - May 7, 2011 at 12:37 AM

How the hell could that have happened. I was just staring at the TV like what the hell...? Peter's Gone? Oliviaaa - REACT, REACT, REACT... But nobody reacted.. How can he never have existed? We can't have been made to love a character over 3 years and then be told "well, you know, he never actually existed!'.... WTH? Peter can't just be permanently deleted from their memories... It makes no sense! And what does that mean for all the Peter/Olivia shippers... They never actually had a relationship? Damn my brain hurts... This episode at least confirmed 2 of my theories going into this episode: 1. Fringe is the best, most creative show on television and 2. This is gonna be a very, very, very, very long summer...
Here's hoping Peter is not just CTRL+Z'd from the show! - May 7, 2011 at 12:56 AM

After thinking about this some more I think there's too much of Peter left in both universes to have him actually be forgotten permanently. I mean in our universe there's Walter's reason for crossing over and Olivia's connection to him (in all that entails). In the alt-universe Walternate's reason's for attacking our universe and Bolivia's child (unless they "deleted" the kid from existence too which seems too unlikely and complicated).

Just a thought... If Peter never existed, does that mean there is no baby Henry?? and why is there conflict between the universes?... Does that mean that ALL this time Walter has been blaming himself for the break down of both worlds when in reality he (kidnapping Peter) wasn't the cause.
Damn it!! Really wish I had a bloody time machine to jump a few months ahead. - May 7, 2011 at 1:15 AM

Thy have teased at the introduction of a 3rd universe. I don't think it means NO MORE universes...I think it means no more Peter

Also I was wondering, if the alternate universe was destroyed 15 years in the future, then does that mean that Fauxlivia and Henry would have been dead too? Of course this gets complicated now that Peter "never existed"! :(

So, First I wanna say I love Fringe but fukin quite yankin my chain and give me a real season finale. I thought it was at least gunna rap up the idea of two universes, not complicate it in a way my mind cant even comprehend. Give me some closure, not a reason to be pissed all summer.I gotta hunch that this has more to do with the machine. Peter starts controlling universes through it then he magically doesnt exist? I think that maybe it was the way that he used it that caused him to be "deleted".

Hey "Anonymous"... they were renewed for a 4th season. You can't wrap everything up and then just make crap up as you go. The story has to continue.
Did you feel the same after the first 2 finales? If so, why are you still here? - May 7, 2011 at 4:46 AM

anonymous to previous anonymous. If you want TV that is wrapped up in a nice little bow, I recommend Friends. this show is called Fringe. Its about science and the inexplicable. we come back to have our minds challenged with storylines that vaguely resemble science. We come back so we can attempt to work out paradoxes and riddles in our heads until the producers blow us away with even crazier s***. I for one am glad we had this last episode. They could have easily ended the season with "the last sam weiss" and all we would have known is Peter 15 years into the future in a warzone. Instead we got a treasure trove of info about the machine, what it does, who the first people are, etc, and we have a direction for the next season. bravo fringe producers and writers. bravo.

Here's the breakdown. We know the observers interfered, which lead to alter-Peter's continued sickness, and Walter's breach to the other universe. So while they are not infallible (appears September made a mistake) they do attempt to correct their errors. This mistake that they made seemed pretty grave. The creation of Walternate's cure was "observance" worthy, so it was apparently a big deal. For them to go to great lengths to correct the mistake also shows it was a big deal. Apparently, there was an ideal timeline in which Alter-Peter lives on to do something the observers wanted to see happen. They are now attempting (we assume) to bring the universes back to their original states.
Apparently, if he never existed, the two sides would have ended up on liberty island in a universe bridge ANYWAYS via some OTHER means, with the red side shattered and the blue side responsible.
The apparent paradox comes when the oberver says both that he never existed, AND that he served his purpose. Can something that never existed have served any purpose? Was his purpose to delete himself from existence? Is that the solution that saves both universes?
My Theory: I believe that timelines without peter's existence lead to the shattered red universe, degrading blue, and a universe bridge. Timelines including alter-peter allow for a final state with two stable universes. By removing himself from existence now, Peter has created a platform via which the two universes can cooperate. However, after doing the math, they will see a missing part of the equation (Peter) which is required for a better outcome/solution. They will somehow reverse engineer Peter, and an elaborate solution (involving books and first peoples, and manuscripts) to save both universes. - May 7, 2011 at 8:09 AM

It could also be an anagram for Monroe, or it could refer to "no more Peter". Don't you think?

Quantum physics has what is called "Model Dependent Realism" According to the principles of quantum physics, which is an accreted description of nature, a particle has neither a definite position nor a definite velocity unless and until those quantities are measured by an observer. It is therefore not correct to say that a measurement gives a certain result because the quantity being measured had that value at the time of measurement. In fact, in some cases individual objects do not even have an independent existence but rather exist only as part of the ensemble of many.
How do we know if a table still exists if I go out of the room and not see it? When I reenter the room the table stays put and agrees with the observation.
The observer here not being the observers at in Fringe call them, but once Olivia remembers Peter or observes him he will be real again. Much like the table when you return it is still there.
It is like Walter said when he was riding up in the lift at the Massive Dynamics it is hard to believe this building is so big when you are on the 14 floor but if you could be outside at this floor you could see the whole building. Much like time itself we only see one view but if we could get far enough out we could see the whole of time.
I believe that the Peter we saw was from a third universe and that he only became real because Walter, Olivia saw him in this universe. So he became real here. - May 7, 2011 at 1:43 PM

How do you stop a robot from harming humans? Scientists propose alternative to Asimov's Laws
Asimov's Laws won't stop robots harming humans so we've developed a better solution.
Christoph Salge, University of Hertfordshire
How do you stop a robot from hurting people? Many existing robots, such as those assembling cars in factories, shut down immediately when a human comes near. But this quick fix wouldn't work for something like a self-driving car that might have to move to avoid a collision, or a care robot that might need to catch an old person if they fall.
With robots set to become our servants, companions and co-workers, we need to deal with the increasingly complex situations this will create and the ethical and safety questions this will raise.
Science fiction already envisioned this problem and has suggested various potential solutions. The most famous was author Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, which are designed to prevent robots harming humans. But since 2005, my colleagues and I at the University of Hertfordshire, have been working on an idea that could be an alternative.
Instead of laws to restrict robot behaviour, we think robots should be empowered to maximise the possible ways they can act so they can pick the best solution for any given scenario. As we describe in a new paper in Frontiers, this principle could form the basis of a new set of universal guidelines for robots to keep humans as safe as possible.
Asimov's Three Laws:
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
While these laws sound plausible, numerous arguments have demonstrated why they are inadequate. Asimov's own stories are arguably a deconstruction of the laws, showing how they repeatedly fail in different situations. Most attempts to draft new guidelines follow a similar principle to create safe, compliant and robust robots.
One problem with any explicitly formulated robot guidelines is the need to translate them into a format that robots can work with. Understanding the full range of human language and the experience it represents is a very hard job for a robot. Broad behavioural goals, such as preventing harm to humans or protecting a robot's existence, can mean different things in different contexts. Sticking to the rules might end up leaving a robot helpless to act as its creators might hope.
Our alternative concept, empowerment, stands for the opposite of helplessness. Being empowered means having the ability to affect a situation and being aware that you can. We have been developing ways to translate this social concept into a quantifiable and operational technical language. This would endow robots with the drive to keep their options open and act in a way that increases their influence on the world.
When we tried simulating how robots would use the empowerment principle in various scenarios, we found they would often act in surprisingly "natural" ways. It typically only requires them to model how the real world works but doesn't need any specialised artificial intelligence programming designed to deal with the particular scenario.
But to keep people safe, the robots need to try to maintain or improve human empowerment as well as their own. This essentially means being protective and supportive. Opening a locked door for someone would increase their empowerment. Restraining them would result in a short-term loss of empowerment. And significantly hurting them could remove their empowerment altogether. At the same time, the robot has to try to maintain its own empowerment, for example by ensuring it has enough power to operate and it does not get stuck or damaged.
Robots could adapt to new situations
Using this general principle rather than predefined rules of behaviour would allow the robot to take account of the context and evaluate scenarios no one has previously envisaged. For example, instead of always following the rule "don't push humans", a robot would generally avoid pushing them but still be able to push them out of the way of a falling object. The human might still be harmed but less so than if the robot didn't push them.
In the film I, Robot, based on several Asimov stories, robots create an oppressive state that is supposed to minimise the overall harm to humans by keeping them confined and "protected". But our principle would avoid such a scenario because it would mean a loss of human empowerment.
While empowerment provides a new way of thinking about safe robot behaviour, we still have much work to do on scaling up its efficiency so it can easily be deployed on any robot and translate to good and safe behaviour in all respects. This poses a very difficult challenge. But we firmly believe empowerment can lead us towards a practical solution to the ongoing and highly debated problem of how to rein in robots' behaviour, and how to keep robots — in the most naive sense — "ethical".

Silica Gel Unit (40 Grams)
The more tightly enclosed, the more vapor-proof you can make the storage area being protected, the better. Otherwise, your silica gel will "drink up" moisture from all outdoors, becoming saturated and requiring reactivation so frequently as to be inconvenient. It's worth it to do your best to make the protected area as vapor-proof as possible. Remove the protective pouch in which your Hydrosorbent unit is packaged. Position your Hydrosorbent unit on an exposed surface anywhere within the enclosed area to be protected. Examine the indicator from time to time to see if reactivation is required.
When you first use silica gel in the area to be protected, it may become saturated rather quickly as it "drinks up" residual moisture. Once the residual dampness is removed, you can maintain a dry condition with less frequent need to reactivate the silica gel. Reactivation times below are minimums. Sometimes, when the silica gel becomes overly saturated, it's good practice to extend the reactivation period. However, do not vary from the recommended temperatures.
40 Gram Unit: When the blue silica gel beneath the inspection window turns pink, reactivate as follows: Place the unit in a vented 300 degree F oven for at least 3 hours (or until the silica gel turns blue again).
Dimensions: 4x2x1.5
Volume Protected: 3 cubic feet

It was the day of a special occasion in my life, when my entire future was rewritten and set on a new course
Or was this always part of destiny that I believed you cannot run from?
My Destiny. Now Ours. Together. Exclusively.
As I watched him at the show I never planned on attending - I was certain of one thing about his velocity:
ONLY GOD is capable of catching him.
The moment we met, there was no looking back on a past life down a darkened and lonely road any longer.
Before him I had never dated anyone. Before him I lead a normal good-girl life.
With him my plus size curves and unique facial features are loved and adored beyond a passionate and lustful extent
Beside him I became queen to the messiah of an exotic cars racing universe I defied heaven for
As fate would have it, regrets collected like old friends ready to relive both our darkest moments
It's always darkest before the dawn, but to see the sunrise at the end of the finish line, there are SEVEN words of a pledge barricading the way:
Cauterized words onto his soul that will decide if he is either a villain or a savior
The ultimate sacrifice must be made by him alone
Which will he choose? Which will he let go of? Which means more?
This is our journey
This is where our racing legacy with fast cars begin.

Self-Healing Solar Cells 'Channel' Natural Processes
To understand how solar cells heal themselves, look no further than the nearest tree leaf or the back of your hand.
The "branching" vascular channels that circulate life-sustaining nutrients throughout leaves and hands serve as the inspiration for solar cells that can restore themselves efficiently and inexpensively.
In a new paper, North Carolina State University researchers Orlin Velev and Hyung-Jun Koo show that creating solar cell devices with channels that mimic organic vascular systems can effectively reinvigorate solar cells whose performance deteriorates due to degradation by the sun's ultraviolet rays. Solar cells that are based on organic systems hold the potential to be less expensive and more environmentally friendly than silicon-based solar cells, the current industry standard.
The nature-mimicking devices are a type of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), composed of a water-based gel core, electrodes, and inexpensive, light-sensitive, organic dye molecules that capture light and generate electric current. However, the dye molecules that get "excited" by the sun's rays to produce electricity eventually degrade and lose efficiency, Velev says, and thus need to be replenished to reboot the device's effectiveness in harnessing the power of the sun.
"Organic material in DSSCs tends to degrade, so we looked to nature to solve the problem," Velev said. "We considered how the branched network in a leaf maintains water and nutrient levels throughout the leaf. Our microchannel solar cell design works in a similar way. Photovoltaic cells rendered ineffective by high intensities of ultraviolet rays were regenerated by pumping fresh dye into the channels while cycling the exhausted dye out of the cell. This process restores the device's effectiveness in producing electricity over multiple cycles."
Velev, Invista Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NC State and the lead author of a paper in Scientific Reports describing the research, adds that the new gel-microfluidic cell design was tested against other designs, and that branched channel networks similar to the ones found in nature worked most effectively.
Study co-author Dr. Hyung-Jun Koo is a former NC State Ph.D. student who is now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois. The study was funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy.
Koo and Velev reported earlier a new type of biomimetic hydrogel solar cell.

"Regenerable Photovoltaic Devices with a Hydrogel-Embedded Microvascular Network"
Authors: Hyung-Jun Koo and Orlin D. Velev, NC State University
Published: Aug. 5, 2013, in Scientific Reports
DOI: 10.1038/srep02357
Abstract: Light-driven degradation of photoactive molecules could be one of the major obstacles to stable long term operation of organic dye-based solar light harvesting devices. One solution to this problem may be mimicking the regeneration functionality of a plant leaf. We report an organic dye photovoltaic system that has been endowed with such microfluidic regeneration functionality. A hydrogel medium with embedded channels allows rapid and uniform supply of photoactive reagents by a convection-diffusion mechanism. A washing-activation cycle enables reliable replacement of the organic component in a dye-sensitized photovoltaic system. Repetitive restoration of photovoltaic performance after intensive device degradation is demonstrated.

"I never thought about owning my own business until I discovered Smart Tax, with a low start up cost and a strong system in place, it is just such a great brand, I jumped at the opportunity to open one of my own locations," said Kevin Jimenez, first-time business owner and franchisee of the East Harlem location. Jimenez, who is just 28-years old, was introduced to Smart Tax as an employee first, where he began working at one of Nick Rizzi's, CEO and founder, Smart Tax locations. He learned about the growing brand and how the tax preparation industry worked. Jimenez saw how successful Smart Tax was becoming and how each individual location was overtaking their competition, and decided he wanted to be a part of this brand at the ground level. "After working at Smart Tax and learning all about the tax industry, I felt ready to take the next step and become a business owner," said Jimenez, with development plans to open three locations throughout the region. "I am passionate about becoming a strong community partner in my hometown and getting involved in as many ways as possible." CEO and Founder Rizzi grew Smart Tax into four small successful locations, after launching his first location as a 29-year old entrepreneur using his life savings and a credit card. Rizzi created his concept a step above the competition by offering quicker returns and better services. Tax returns is one appointment people can look forward to every year-and people can get their taxes processed at Smart Tax in as quickly as an hour for a very low cost. "I wanted to create a system one-step ahead of competition and provide a service that our customers valued in each community we enter," said Rizzi, noting he plans to have 100 locations by January 1, 2012. "Kevin Jimenez is a great addition to the Smart Tax team, one who will serve as a strong asset in growing our brand throughout the New York region and on a national scale as well." Smart Tax, founded in 2005, is a tax preparation service offering a quick and hassle-free way for its clients to file their taxes each and every year.

I am honored to announce that my photo below (currently untitled) has won first place at the Charlottesville Photography Initiative's 2011 second annual photo contest, which was held as part of a Look3 local event this past weekend. Second place was awarded to Alex Morgan, and third place to Eric Kelley. There were no categories or guidelines for this photo contest, which made for an exciting and vast array of subject matter. Click HERE to view all of the entries.
I am grateful to CPI for all their efforts in putting this event together for a second year and for also bringing together fellowship, education and support to our photographic community… CPI is a social club for photo enthusiasts of all kinds; novices to professionals, film and digital shooters, you name it. It has been a wonderful thing watching CPI grow from its infancy… when Jason and I first joined there were less than 20 members, and our meetings were held at apartment complex clubhouses and coffee shops. Charlottesville Photography Initiative is now over 270+ strong and growing with its own studio located downtown. I greatly encourage anyone with a love for photography and a desire to meet other like minded individuals to attend a CPI meetup! Hope to see you there!
One last note: my deepest gratitude goes to my greatest teacher, my husband Jason. He has mentored me throughout my photographic journey, never waning as an editor. Objective criticism is hard to swallow sometimes, especially when it comes from a spouse. Imagine asking your loved one if he or she likes your new haircut, and their answer is 'NO.' Well, I guess that Jason has never told me that my hair looked bad or that I look bloated, but he definitely has never hesitated to give me honest feedback of my work…. good or bad. Thank you for that, Babe.

Don't waste a presentation opportunity with foolish mistakes. Give it every chance of winning the day.
Some people live for making presentations; others consider it their worse nightmare. It could be five people in a boardroom or 500 in the audience, but if you are the presenter the spotlight is on you. You'll either be the hero or the goat.
No need to panic. Here are five ways to help make your presentation astounding and enjoy the opportunity to bask in the limelight.
No one is impressed by a presentation that rambles. Rambling happens when the speaker is both self-indulgent and unorganized. Your purpose and prose must be specifically directed to interests of your listeners or they will mentally shut you down. Even if you hit upon a topic of interest, you will lose them quickly if they can't follow the logic of your ideas. Outline the structure of your presentation in a way that people can follow easily. Research your audience to make sure the topic is truly of interest. Promoting the benefits of beef at a vegetarian conference will likely empty your venue no matter how strong your passion for steak.
There must be a reason you are presenting to these people. Most likely you want them to take action of some kind. Maybe you want them to write you a check, get involved in an activity, or to make something happen in their own lives. They won't likely take action just because you tell them to do so. You need to connect with them emotionally and inspire them to change behavior. Stories do more for emotional connection than any other speech technique. The more personal and authentic, the more powerful the response you'll receive. Learn how to construct stories that excite, motivate and compel people to action. Most importantly, make sure your stories have humor and Aha! moments to make them memorable.
Not every presenter has to be an actor or comedian, but no one wants to listen to someone drone on in dull monotone. There are powerful dynamics in movement and vocal inflections that will help your listeners feel your passion and energy. Give them an awesome experience. Take the time to create a script and memorize it so you own the material. You don't have to know it word for word but you should be able to clearly articulate the key points without your notes. Then you need to rehearse... a lot. As painful as it might be, watch yourself on video and work to remove Uhhs, Umms and physical tics so you appear polished and comfortable. Find a friend with a performance background to coach you so your diction is clear, you project emotion, and you connect with your eyes. Make your audience knows they are worth your effort.
PowerPoint, visuals and video are powerful presentation tools when used correctly. But they can be disastrous distractions when misused. They should never replace you as the provider of expertise. Don't ever let your audience feel they would have been better off if you had just emailed them the deck. Keep your PowerPoint to a few words and never read from the screen in the presentation. Ask yourself if a slide or video is truly necessary before adding anything. Visuals are good for making an emotional connection only if they are relevant and required, otherwise best to just leave the projector off and focus more on your storytelling and performance skills.
Except for PowerPoint, the Focusky presentation is another ideal choice for digital presentation. If you want to make your presentation full of fun and lifelikeness, rather than being stuck in static slide of PowerPoint, the creative zooming presentation tool - Focusky will serve you.
So you just delivered the best presentation ever. Now your audience heads off to the next speaker, to lunch or back to their desks. People are busy and no matter how much you impressed them they will turn their attentions elsewhere. Give them something to remember you by. Professional speakers will give them a book or at least a couple of chapters. It might be as simple as a small flyer or premium item. Whatever it is, make sure it's relevant to your compelling story and reminds them of the action they should take. Be clever and appropriate so people will appreciate your thoughtfulness as well as your ideas.

We saw the prototypes, we followed the development and now Fret-King has finally unveiled the Super-matic self-tuning guitar.
Designed by the UK's Trev Wilkinson and Auto Tuning Developments, the big talking point is his new ATD HT440 hardtail bridge. It uses a hex pickup and clever micro gears to tune automatically to either standard, open G, DADGAD and open D. You can also program in up to five settings of your own.
Simply select your desired tuning, strum all the strings and let the guitar take care of the rest. We tried it, and it works quickly and effectively. The bridge will also retrofit into a standard Stratocaster rout.
The rest of the guitar comprises a two-piece American alder body, bolt-on maple neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard, HSH pickup configuration using Wilkinson WHHBZ33 zebra humbuckers and a WHSM vintage voiced single coil.
See it in action:
The price is targeted for £1,299 to include a deluxe gigbag, and we'll be bringing you the first UK review as soon as we get one. See the video at www.fret-king.com and for more details call JHS 01132 865381.

Benchmark - benchmark running times of Perl code
use Benchmark qw(:all) ;
timethis ($count, "code");
# Use Perl code in strings...
timethese($count, {
'Name1' => '...code1...',
'Name2' => '...code2...',
# ... or use subroutine references.
timethese($count, {
'Name1' => sub { ...code1... },
'Name2' => sub { ...code2... },
# cmpthese can be used both ways as well
cmpthese($count, {
'Name1' => '...code1...',
'Name2' => '...code2...',
cmpthese($count, {
'Name1' => sub { ...code1... },
'Name2' => sub { ...code2... },
# ...or in two stages
$results = timethese($count,
'Name1' => sub { ...code1... },
'Name2' => sub { ...code2... },
cmpthese( $results ) ;
$t = timeit($count, '...other code...')
print "$count loops of other code took:",timestr($t),"\n";
$t = countit($time, '...other code...')
$count = $t->iters ;
print "$count loops of other code took:",timestr($t),"\n";
# enable hires wallclock timing if possible
use Benchmark ':hireswallclock';
The Benchmark module encapsulates a number of routines to help you figure out how long it takes to execute some code.
timethis - run a chunk of code several times
timethese - run several chunks of code several times
cmpthese - print results of timethese as a comparison chart
timeit - run a chunk of code and see how long it goes
countit - see how many times a chunk of code runs in a given time
Returns the current time. Example:
use Benchmark;
$t0 = Benchmark->new;
# ... your code here ...
$t1 = Benchmark->new;
$td = timediff($t1, $t0);
print "the code took:",timestr($td),"\n";
Enables or disable debugging by setting the $Benchmark::Debug
$t = timeit(10, ' 5 ** $Global ');
Returns the number of iterations.
The following routines will be exported into your namespace if you use the Benchmark module:
Arguments: COUNT is the number of times to run the loop, and CODE is the code to run. CODE may be either a code reference or a string to be eval'd; either way it will be run in the caller's package.
Returns: a Benchmark object.
Time COUNT iterations of CODE. CODE may be a string to eval or a code reference; either way the CODE will run in the caller's package. Results will be printed to STDOUT as TITLE followed by the times. TITLE defaults to "timethis COUNT" if none is provided. STYLE determines the format of the output, as described for timestr() below.
The COUNT can be zero or negative: this means the minimum number of CPU seconds to run. A zero signifies the default of 3 seconds. For example to run at least for 10 seconds:
timethis(-10, $code)
or to run two pieces of code tests for at least 3 seconds:
timethese(0, { test1 => '...', test2 => '...'})
CPU seconds is, in UNIX terms, the user time plus the system time of the process itself, as opposed to the real (wallclock) time and the time spent by the child processes. Less than 0.1 seconds is not accepted (-0.01 as the count, for example, will cause a fatal runtime exception).
Note that the CPU seconds is the minimum time: CPU scheduling and other operating system factors may complicate the attempt so that a little bit more time is spent. The benchmark output will, however, also tell the number of $code
runs/second, which should be a more interesting number than the actually spent seconds.
Returns a Benchmark object.
The CODEHASHREF is a reference to a hash containing names as keys and either a string to eval or a code reference for each value. For each (KEY, VALUE) pair in the CODEHASHREF, this routine will call
timethis(COUNT, VALUE, KEY, STYLE)
The routines are called in string comparison order of KEY.
The COUNT can be zero or negative, see timethis().
Returns a hash reference of Benchmark objects, keyed by name.
Returns the difference between two Benchmark times as a Benchmark object suitable for passing to timestr().
Returns a string that formats the times in the TIMEDIFF object in the requested STYLE. TIMEDIFF is expected to be a Benchmark object similar to that returned by timediff().
STYLE can be any of 'all', 'none', 'noc', 'nop' or 'auto'. 'all' shows each of the 5 times available ('wallclock' time, user time, system time, user time of children, and system time of children). 'noc' shows all except the two children times. 'nop' shows only wallclock and the two children times. 'auto' (the default) will act as 'all' unless the children times are both zero, in which case it acts as 'noc'. 'none' prevents output.
FORMAT is the printf(3)-style format specifier (without the leading '%') to use to print the times. It defaults to '5.2f'.
The following routines will be exported into your namespace if you specifically ask that they be imported:
Clear the cached time for COUNT rounds of the null loop.
Clear all cached times.
Optionally calls timethese(), then outputs comparison chart. This:
cmpthese( -1, { a => "++\$i", b => "\$i *= 2" } ) ;
outputs a chart like:
Rate b a
b 2831802/s -- -61%
a 7208959/s 155% --
This chart is sorted from slowest to fastest, and shows the percent speed difference between each pair of tests.
can also be passed the data structure that timethese() returns:
$results = timethese( -1,
{ a => "++\$i", b => "\$i *= 2" } ) ;
cmpthese( $results );
in case you want to see both sets of results. If the first argument is an unblessed hash reference, that is RESULTSHASHREF; otherwise that is COUNT.
Returns a reference to an ARRAY of rows, each row is an ARRAY of cells from the above chart, including labels. This:
my $rows = cmpthese( -1,
{ a => '++$i', b => '$i *= 2' }, "none" );
returns a data structure like:
[ '', 'Rate', 'b', 'a' ],
[ 'b', '2885232/s', '--', '-59%' ],
[ 'a', '7099126/s', '146%', '--' ],
NOTE: This result value differs from previous versions, which returned the timethese()
result structure. If you want that, just use the two statement timethese
idiom shown above.
Incidentally, note the variance in the result values between the two examples; this is typical of benchmarking. If this were a real benchmark, you would probably want to run a lot more iterations.
Arguments: TIME is the minimum length of time to run CODE for, and CODE is the code to run. CODE may be either a code reference or a string to be eval'd; either way it will be run in the caller's package.
TIME is not negative. countit() will run the loop many times to calculate the speed of CODE before running it for TIME. The actual time run for will usually be greater than TIME due to system clock resolution, so it's best to look at the number of iterations divided by the times that you are concerned with, not just the iterations.
Returns: a Benchmark object.
Disable caching of timings for the null loop. This will force Benchmark to recalculate these timings for each new piece of code timed.
Enable caching of timings for the null loop. The time taken for COUNT rounds of the null loop will be calculated only once for each different COUNT used.
Returns the sum of two Benchmark times as a Benchmark object suitable for passing to timestr().
If the Time::HiRes module has been installed, you can specify the special tag :hireswallclock
for Benchmark (if Time::HiRes is not available, the tag will be silently ignored). This tag will cause the wallclock time to be measured in microseconds, instead of integer seconds. Note though that the speed computations are still conducted in CPU time, not wallclock time.
Many of the functions in this module return a Benchmark object, or in the case of timethese()
, a reference to a hash, the values of which are Benchmark objects. This is useful if you want to store or further process results from Benchmark functions.
Internally the Benchmark object holds timing values, described in "NOTES" below. The following methods can be used to access them:
Total CPU (User + System) of the main (parent) process.
Total CPU (User + System) of any children processes.
Total CPU of parent and any children processes.
Real elapsed time "wallclock seconds".
Number of iterations run.
The following illustrates use of the Benchmark object:
$result = timethis(100000, sub { ... });
print "total CPU = ", $result->cpu_a, "\n";
The data is stored as a list of values from the time and times functions:
($real, $user, $system, $children_user, $children_system, $iters)
in seconds for the whole loop (not divided by the number of rounds).
The timing is done using time(3) and times(3).
Code is executed in the caller's package.
The time of the null loop (a loop with the same number of rounds but empty loop body) is subtracted from the time of the real loop.
The null loop times can be cached, the key being the number of rounds. The caching can be controlled using calls like these:
Caching is off by default, as it can (usually slightly) decrease accuracy and does not usually noticeably affect runtimes.
For example,
use Benchmark qw( cmpthese ) ;
$x = 3;
cmpthese( -5, {
a => sub{$x*$x},
b => sub{$x**2},
} );
outputs something like this:
Benchmark: running a, b, each for at least 5 CPU seconds...
Rate b a
b 1559428/s -- -62%
a 4152037/s 166% --
use Benchmark qw( timethese cmpthese ) ;
$x = 3;
$r = timethese( -5, {
a => sub{$x*$x},
b => sub{$x**2},
} );
cmpthese $r;
outputs something like this:
Benchmark: running a, b, each for at least 5 CPU seconds...
a: 10 wallclock secs ( 5.14 usr + 0.13 sys = 5.27 CPU) @ 3835055.60/s (n=20210743)
b: 5 wallclock secs ( 5.41 usr + 0.00 sys = 5.41 CPU) @ 1574944.92/s (n=8520452)
Rate b a
b 1574945/s -- -59%
a 3835056/s 144% --
Benchmark inherits from no other class, except of course from Exporter.
Comparing eval'd strings with code references will give you inaccurate results: a code reference will show a slightly slower execution time than the equivalent eval'd string.
The real time timing is done using time(2) and the granularity is therefore only one second.
Short tests may produce negative figures because perl can appear to take longer to execute the empty loop than a short test; try:
The system time of the null loop might be slightly more than the system time of the loop with the actual code and therefore the difference might end up being < 0.

September 8th, 1994; by Tim Bunce.
March 28th, 1997; by Hugo van der Sanden: added support for code references and the already documented 'debug' method; revamped documentation.
April 04-07th, 1997: by Jarkko Hietaniemi, added the run-for-some-time functionality.
September, 1999; by Barrie Slaymaker: math fixes and accuracy and efficiency tweaks. Added cmpthese(). A result is now returned from timethese(). Exposed countit() (was runfor()).
December, 2001; by Nicholas Clark: make timestr() recognise the style 'none' and return an empty string. If cmpthese is calling timethese, make it pass the style in. (so that 'none' will suppress output). Make sub new dump its debugging output to STDERR, to be consistent with everything else. All bugs found while writing a regression test.
September, 2002; by Jarkko Hietaniemi: add ':hireswallclock' special tag.
February, 2004; by Chia-liang Kao: make cmpthese and timestr use time statistics for children instead of parent when the style is 'nop'.
November, 2007; by Christophe Grosjean: make cmpthese and timestr compute time consistently with style argument, default is 'all' not 'noc' any more.

The Internet Database notes that Loren Janes was "one of the key figures in the development of modern cinematic stunt design, improved safety procedures and co-founder of the Stuntmen's Association of Motion Pictures & Televsion."
Loren Janes "contributed his talents to such spectacular films as The Ten Commandments (1956), Spartacus (1960), The Magnificent Seven (1960), Planet of the Apes (1968), The Towering Inferno (1974) and Beverly Hills Cop (1984)."
Twitter feeds are calling Loren Janes an "acclaimed Hollywood stuntman," "a legend," and a "groundbreaking stuntman."
Twitter feeds are calling Loren Janes an "acclaimed Hollywood stuntman," "a legend," and a "groundbreaking stuntman."
In terms of waiting for a "celebrity" tied to UFOs who might pass away on June 24, 2017, Janes might fit the bill.
Loren Janes (also known as Loren James) was the safety stunt coordinator for the UFO cult classic film, Repo Man, which has its fair share of UFO insider jokes about flying saucers, the name game, Men in Black, and conspiracy theorists.
Loren Janes gets a cryptokubrology mention too. In Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus (1960), Janes was Kirk Douglas' stunt double ("slave general"). Janes also was a "salt mine slave," and a "gladiator."
Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando had stunts done for them by Loren Janes in Missouri Breaks (1976), which was directed by Arthur Penn.
Synchromystic cinema connections are there, throughout Loren Janes' life. Janes got a credit in Back to the Future (1985), for the stunts. In the closeted UFO story of Steven Spielberg's 1941 (1979). In the intriguing Logan's Run (1976) and Ice Station Zebra (1968).
Planet of the Apes (1968) and Star Trek (1966-1967) - above - where Janes does stunt doubling for William Shatner and others. Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959), The Ten Commandments (1956), and so many more.
Loren James has 170 stunting credits, 33 acting credits, one miscellaneous crew, 3 thanks, 11 self credits (usually in documentaries about the movie industry), and one appearance in archive footage.
The name game aspect of "Loren Janes" was not lost on me, since I am a "Loren" and I see that Loren Janes played the character "Coleman" in 1966's The Sand Pebbles, which I just wrote about in Neanderthal (2016).
Loren Janes had a footnote contribution to television, having played the role of Norman Chaney on the TV series L.A. Law. In the first scene of the first episode, Chaney is found dead, though his name appears for years in the name of the law firm. My life was touched by L.A. Law's Richard Dysart, many years ago.

The Bacon Brothers is back at the Dakota Jazz Club this Wednesday, August 21st. If you didn't know, Kevin Bacon and Michael Bacon are passionate about their music, even though many people might only know Kevin Bacon as simply an actor.
We caught the brothers in July 2018 and wrote, "As the group play their ever-changing setlist, they kept adding various instruments in their shows. But it's for the love of their songs, that the band brought on a cello to play an untitled interlude song, or mandolin for "Driver", or bongos for "Don't Lose Me Boy", or four ukuleles for "Perfect Pitch", or banging on the Peruvian cajón for a love song devoted to their "Bus". Speaking from someone who attends a lot of shows, most bands make up the setlist based on what instruments they have with them. Meaning, if a song requires a strange instrument, it might be dropped from their set because they don't want to bring it on tour. It's a practical logic, but apparently not for the Bacon Brothers! You have to love them for that."
