Net Zero Sum
Some years ago, I was working on generating an award conspiracy to get someone in my local group a Purple Fret (the Midrealm AoA level service award).
I don't remember much about the conversation or even who was there. I remember when I suggested getting the candidate, whose name has slipped my mind, an award, and I asked for recommendations to be entered. One of the members of the conversation said "I don't think it's appropriate yet, I know what it took to get mine!"
That line is the only part that has stuck with me through time. I've forgotten everything else, yet that line persists, "I know what it took to get mine!".
What did it take to "get mine"? I received an AoA a bit more than a year after joining the SCA.
At my first local event, I was asked to run youth activities, but being a nervous newbie, I taught a class instead, building catapults.
In the years after, I took over the youth program for my local group, eventually expanding to help with youth activities at all events in my barony and often other nearby baronies. I didn't do small things, we made BIG things: siege towers, yard catapults, target crossbows, trebuchets and ballistas. Most of these took months of research and prototyping on my side. I needed to make siege equipment that was "safe" enough for kids, yet powerful enough to be fun, cheap enough to make, and easy enough to mass produce. As a result, I made all the kits myself.
This is no complaint. It has been an absolute pleasure, and little brings me more enjoyment than to have a young person look up and say… "I can't believe how fun this is to make, and I like… learned stuff too".
My goal is for the SCA to be fun for people of all ages.
Five years after my first AoA, King Savaric and Queen Julianna, on a rainy evening at Pennsic, awarded me a Purple Fret during our Kingdom Court.
Is this what it takes to receive a Purple Fret?
I recently walked in on a conversation a couple was having about someone who received a Purple Fret after hosting a single event. I did what I needed to do there and got out of the way. However, the mood in the room was not a joyous one. At a glance it seems unfair. Why should someone get an award after a single event, when I had to work for five years to get the same result?
Did someone else getting a purple fret, decrease the amount of my work?
I am less worthy of the award the King and Queen gave me if someone else receives the same award?
Does receiving the award have less value to me now, after someone else receives it?
The answer is a clear "no" in all of these cases. Awards are a gift from the King and Queen. The number of Purple Frets awarded since then will not alter what it was King Savaric and Queen Julianna found worthy in me.
I am happy for the receiver of the single event Purple Fret, because "I know what it took to get mine", and I know how happy I was to receive it. I'm sure everyone else who receives one feels the same way.

Despite tough laws against Judi online in Indonesia, poker is getting famous in the country. People are more curious to know rules and regulations to play the game online. Indonesian police keep a regular eye on the sites of gambling. And make raids to these places. Hence people are keener to play Bandar Judi online rather than the traditional way. But still, raids are part of such activities. Many people have been caught and gone to jail as well.
With the popularity of Muslim population in the country, Judi Indonesia is illegal. If you are in love to play this game, you can develop your own den in secret places. Still, Police raid threat is always there, even if you are playing Bandar Judi online.
If you are a tourist in Indonesia and caught playing Judi online in anywhere in the secret dens, you have to pay a heavy fine. Or you even have to go to jail. Law remains same for the online and traditional type of gambling. Who wants to put their life is a risk? Hopefully not you.
Hence you should keep some major safety procedures in mind to play safe Judi Indonesia Online.
Proxy Server:
If you are trying to play Judi online from Indonesia, always use a proxy server to login to your account. As normal servers are always on radar and your login details might be cracked.
Ask for Local login details:
Instead of using your own login details, which is at high risk in Indonesia. You can get in touch with the local player via some references. Some players have legal permission to play Judi online. And such owners cannot be raided by police.
Never go traditional way:
Always choose online casinos than traditional tables. Hope your visit and Judi online game remains safe.

Garage Storm Shelters

Ever hear of a Faraday Cage? Even if you haven't heard of one, you've seen one in action. If you ever came across some valuable piece of equipment outside in the elements and wondered why it was caged like a prisoner, this is why: the Faraday Cage is an all-metal structure housing that protects outside objects from lightning strikes. The scientist in the 1800s who came up with it (yep, Faraday was his name) figured that electricity would have to travel all the way around the all-metal cage -- which meant it could never go inside it. Bingo! A lightning-proof structure.
Why should you care about the Faraday Cage? Because most steel storm shelters are constructed the same way, and that means you're protected from lightning strikes in one, despite that old wives' tale. The secret is the steel floor and ceiling, but even shelters that don't have them can easily be grounded with copper wire. Steel storm shelters can get an unfairly bad rep, but the underground type in particular tends to actually be safer than fiberglass or even concrete: steel holds up better under pressure than either of the other two materials, and since the pressure of earth can be tons per square yard, that's important. Steel has more "give," which means it won't crack when the ground shifts, and that also means it'll resist water better in flood-prone areas or places with a high water table. And speaking of water, if you're worried about those other two enemies of steel, rust and corrosion, don't. There are several paints and epoxy coatings available that bond with steel and will protect your tornado shelter for decades.
It's important to let a professional install a shelter for you, however, because pressure and grounding and coating are problems best left to the experts. Our installers can come out to your property and help you decide what materials work best for your particular shelter, and if you do decide to use steel, we can make sure you'll have a completely safe structure when it's done, one that meets guidelines set forth by FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency). You won't have any unpleasant sudden shocks with our steel shelters, literally or otherwise, and you can thank our professionals -- and Mr. Faraday -- for that.

By Jeff Mills email@example.com 6, 2017
GREENSBORO — It's peaceful in the grove, the ring of tall, old trees muffling the sounds of traffic along Dudley Street.
It's a quiet place in front of N.C. A&T's stately Dudley Building, where wide stone steps lead to doors beyond six towering pillars.
Out front stands a statue. Four proud figures in overcoats, cast in bronze, in lockstep forever.
Every week during the football season, A&T's team gathers here. There's a short ceremony, a few moments of hushed reflection before the sound and fury of the game they play.
"It gets you in the mindset of game day," wide receiver Malik Wilson says. "I'm ready to play. I'm focused. I think, 'They did something bigger than themselves,' and that puts me in the mindset to do something bigger than myself."
It's become a tradition, a gathering Rod Broadway started in 2012, his second season as the Aggies head coach.

The Coils of Aging: Positioning Older Adults in Post-Plague English Literature
Committee: Dr. Masha Raskolnikov, Dr. Andrew Galloway, Dr. Andrew Hicks
Age and the decaying world are on everyone's mind. Scholars devote intense attention to the end of days as caused by the wrongs of man, manifested through traumatic political upheaval, temperamental leadership, contagious diseases spread by blood-sucking insects, climate change, and extreme weather. Conflict between the young and the old pushes the elderly to the margins of society. My dissertation looks at the precarious place of old age in the literature of this polarized culture: England in the latter half of the fourteenth century. By eschewing the biological essentialism of age studies and its common relegation to a subset of disability studies, I argue that later Middle English poetry and narratives presented a construct of old age that promised the future. Aging symbolism during this period envisioned motion towards eternal youth in the renewed world of the Heavenly Jerusalem, contrary to the evident and well-studied narratives of aging as decline. Readings of unmitigated decline impose ahistorical assumptions on the resolutions of Middle English texts. Futurity did not reflect the promise and potential of the young. Paradoxically, late fourteenth-century literature represented the old as closest to the future, creating a discomfort that then, just as now, manifested as the antagonistic rhetoric of a generational gap.
Abrupt and violent life-stage transitions represented in literature thus mark not finality but anticipatory preparation, in parallel with the violence expected in the final age of the world; the old have, if not full access to the coming eternity, at least access to more dim glimmers of it—following Gregory the Great's metaphor of a coming sunrise—than the young do. Ultimately, late fourteenth-century literature is not merely concerned with a circular narrative we no longer read for, but also utilizes a host of now-foreign conventions about the possibilities and roles of aging. Age created paradoxes: it bound the bodies of its victims, as if with coiled ropes, while encouraging the same renewal as that experienced by snakes shedding their constrictive old skins; it could be mitigated and slowed with the same toxic elements of snake venom that old age itself purportedly produced, even as that toxicity was held to be antithetical to the young; it invited respectful attention and mocking snubs; its regressive senility could simultaneously signal preparatory growth. Reading with sensitivity to age culture (and to a longer and more circular life-course than we presume) reveals that late fourteenth-century authors strongly censured attempts at rejuvenation, understood aging as a community-policed process, and celebrated senex writers as conservators and pioneers of the future, rather than solely as representatives of the past.

Insider Information: The Worlds of Medieval Identities with John Wyatt Greenlee
We move from Augustine and Orosius to Bede, Higden and medieval chronicle writers, exploring textual mappaemundi, the metaphor of reading-as-travel, and the underpinnings of location-based (and hence mnemonic) knowledge in chronicles. We then argue that literary texts that aimed to map the world enabled readers to index their memories onto, identify with and own the world. We follow this thread in a subsequent chapter, demonstrating that by verbally charting the world, Mandeville's Travels served as a mental template wherein users could more easily store information. This challenges the assumptions behind foundational medieval memory work such as Mary Carruthers', which reads exclusively elite texts that prohibit prefabricated mnemonic devices. As one's memory was the basis for ethics, cognition, and selfhood, this section has ramifications for European identity and selfhood in the Global Middle Ages, transhumanist and ecocritical medieval work, and the manner in which colonialist figures were primed by Mandeville to own, appropriate, and utilize other peoples. Christine de Pizan exemplifies our hypothesized use of Mandeville and collapses the homo/mundus parallelisms by fashioning her memory, self-identity, and writing process into Mandeville's mappamundi. In closing, we read the Harley Lyrics' "Erþe toc of erþe," John Gower, and the Ebstorf mappamundi to alter our understanding of medieval man's self-positioning as microcosm, determining what it means to mnemonically consume (with metaphors of memory-as-eating), self-conceptualize as, and think through the world.
"Chaucer's Reeve and Isidore's Old Woman: Gendering with Macaronic Dirty Puns"
Rhetorical devices within Isidore's Etymologiae position the role of an old woman, anus, as genderqueer (as opposed to his hyper-gendering of other female stages of age). Chaucer's Reeve's Prologue reflects this careful Isidorean structure of the ages and gender but also highlights a less apparent detail: Isidore's substitution of ānus (m), ring or anus, for anus (f), old woman, queering his Reeve via an extended metaphor about the feminized "open-ers" fruit.
"Word Counting the West Midlands: Failure Points of Data Mining Middle English"
Interim data cited by Michael Widner at "Text-Mining the Middle Ages" and at the 2016 MLA.
Middle English presents particular challenges to the optimistic digital humanist data-miner: an absence of standardized spelling, varied editorial practices in transcribing manuscripts (including issues introduced by yoghs and abbreviations), scribal emendations, and constrained data sets. My work has found limits to standardizing available corpora, false positives on topic clustering using MALLET, and two successful approaches being tested further.
"Old Dragons and Old Warriors: The Advantage of Age in Anglo-Saxon Heroic Poetry"
I examine the dragon's old age in Beowulf to shed new light on the duguðe/geoguðe binary.

IQ2 – Nootropic Called Smarter Smart Solution. A Dietary Supplement For Your Brain
IQ2 Nootropic: The Supplement that Got Me Back on Track
After having a friend recommended IQ2 Nootropic I thought I'd give it a shot. I've had difficulties with concentration and memory for a while now due to being overworked and stressed which includes led to some serious problems both in my own professional and personal life. I've zero energy and when it's time for you to concentrate on something I lose track easily and find myself aimlessly trying to find out what I was doing. It has become so bad that I've received several warnings from benefit the mistakes that I've made and has overflowed into my personal life. Simple tasks like food shopping are horrible as I cannot remember what I wanted to buy and always find yourself house with everything but what I need. I forget important dates, forget when I am likely to enter a meeting, and so a great many other issues that are part of everyday life.
A pal noticed my aimless ways recently and mentioned he's been going for a supplement to greatly help him stay concentrated. I never even knew there is a complement like this on the market. A supplement that may help me stay concentrated and focused. In addition to that he said it gave him more energy and increased his brainpower, something I was in dire need of. After giving me the link to the state website I decided to fairly share my findings and my experience because I am sure there are many more people on the market that have no idea there is truly a supplement in the marketplace that will assist them making use of their concentration and focus.
What is IQ2 Nootropic
IQ2 Nootropic is just a Formula that helps increase energy, boost brain performance, and maintain focus. It is one of the most advanced and effective formulas in the marketplace today which can help unlock your brain potential with natural ingredients.
It is developed to:
- Increase Energy – giving you a burst of energy just minutes after you take the supplement lasting around 6 hours it is just a powerful stimulate that'll not make you jittery or crash. It does not have any harmful side effects similar to prescription meds as it is all natural.
- Increase Focus – you will have the ability to focus in peace as you ignore distractions. Zoom in and stay motivated, alert, and fully concentrated remembering more.
- Increase Brain Power – through maximum strength nootropics which are well referred to as the "smart drugs&rdquo ;.They'll help increase mental performance, vigilance, and brain activity.
What's best is that you could try the supplement without the risk as it includes a 30 day cash back guarantee so you only send back and get your money returned if you should be not 100% content with the results.
How IQ2 Nootropic Works
Initially it absolutely was quite difficult for me to know the way it's possible an easy supplement to fix every one of these horrible issues that I have now been dealing with. I was impressed that it can help make me more effective and give me a boost in mental energy and alertness. It offers not just this but supports other important functions. Unlike caffeine and energy drinks IQ2 Nootropic offers much higher than a simple physical energy boost. It maintains focus and gives you the ability to take advantage of 100% of one's brains potential.
This is all possible through nootropics. They help improve the function of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine through cholinergic (ACh) receptors. Additionally it helps stimulate NMDA glutamate receptors which really are a critical part to the memory and learning processes. Nootropics are one of many main influences over vascular and neuronal functions and are known to greatly help increase cognitive function. This is all possible all the while providing an all natural source of added energy which ensures you keep you motivated and alert throughout the day. You will have the ability to ignore everyday distractions and focus on the duty at hand.
My Experience with IQ2 Nootropic
I fought with myself before ordering the supplement. I went into denial that I are having issues but in the long run I realized that the best way to have back on the right track is to have some help. Although it is not a medical problem with time this excess stress and insufficient focus can become a serious problem, and undoubtedly the consequences it has already established on my professional and personal life. So I ordered. Within 4 days I received the supplement and started taking it straight away. As mentioned inside their official website I actually felt a wild boost in energy about 10 minutes after taking it. Before that I was sitting on the couch feeling quite horrible actually. Within the hour I was zooming around the house fixing things and cleaning up, a thing that I rarely had the vitality for lately and it had been becoming obvious.
This is actually on a Friday after work. Over the weekend I'd some work I'd taken home in order to complete up as I was unable to accomplish it over time while I was in the office. Saturday, for the very first time ever, I woke up, grabbed my coffee, and sat at your kitchen table with my work at home and completed it within 2 hours, something unthinkable in the past. Before I actually sat down to accomplish work I've taken home Sunday evening and usually end up staying all night to accomplish the work. I felt so motivated and sure I might have absolutely no difficulties with setting it up done. Nothing distracted me, even if my husband woke up and put the TV on, certainly one of my biggest enemies. Completely ignored the TV and continued to work.
It has been 3 weeks since I first began taking IQ2 Nootropic on a regular basis. Since then could work has acquired greatly and I no more bother about incomplete work, procrastination, or missing meetings or deadlines. Nothing is stopping me now. After 3 years of work I'm finally back up for promotion, a thing that I was offered previously but couldn't cope with the worries and workload. Yesterday I then found out that I was the one selected for the promotion and is likely to be managing a full office without any help, this means plenty of multitasking, plenty of energy, and super concentration and focus. I honestly don't think I might have had such success without IQ2 Nootropic and was really worried I'd end up receiving fired before I even considered getting a promotion.
In the home things are fantastic as well. I'm organized and focused leaving just work at work and concentrating on building a family. I no more bother about what to get or where I left the keys. Everything includes a place and conversations with my husband are far more productive than previously where I'd get distracted mid conversation and completely lose him as an audience.
I've actually called to try their money back guarantee which I was curious if they would actually honor. About 2 weeks into taking the supplement I called them and said that I wasn't happy and I needed to go back it, far from the truth obviously, and without a lot of questions they simply said what to create on the box and where to go back it. From then on I told them that I've reconsidered and is likely to be keeping it, and in addition to that ordering the 3 month package. Very happy with the general customer support and the results in general. My entire life has seen an entire turnaround.
Do I Recommend IQ2 Nootropic
Of course I do. I suggest you see taking IQ2 Nootropic. You have the 30 day guarantee and an individual bottle is really very affordable. The ingredients are listed perfectly and you are able to review each to confirm its safety and effectiveness. I'm happy with both the organization and the supplement IQ2 Nootropic and would suggest it to anyone that wants to boost their professional and personal lives with better concentration, more energy, and boosted brain power.

If the resolution of your screen is higher than 1024 x 768, I think you may be describing expected behavior which Intel started with most NUCs (perhaps in attempt to be more compatible with "TV"). Instead of displaying BIOS screens at something like 1024 x 768 mode of a monitor, they changed to try keeping the native resolution of the display and show the BIOS 1024 x 768 centered within that resolution. So the higher resolution displays get small size shown in the center. You may be lucky if yours is covering three-quarters because some might cover only one-quarter or so.

Research Disclosure, No. 271, Nov. 1986, Havant GB, "Algorithm for Arbitration Priority Adjustment", p. 668..
Priority levels and bump values are assigned to requestors for access to a system resource. When access requests are received, arbitration of the requests is made in accordance with the assigned priorities, bump values, and the received access requests. If a high priority level access request is granted, then the same request will be held off for a successive number of requests as set by the bump values. In cases where the access is required for more than one request/grant cycle, the priority level access can be retained as long as required.
What is claimed is:
1. An access priority arbitration system comprising, in combination:
means for assigning priority access levels;
means for setting bump values;
means for receiving a plurality of access requests;
means responsive to assigned priority access levels, access requests, and bump values for arbitrating the access request; and
means for controlling a mode of operation so that arbitration can be performed faster when a large number of access requests are anticipated.
2. The combination comprising:
a plurality of request lines for supplying request signals indicative of requests for access to resources;
first means for assigning priority levels to each of said plurality of request lines;
second means for assigning a bump value to each of said plurality of request lines;
output means responsive to said first and second means and said request signals for supplying access grant signals to one of said plurality of request lines;
mode means for setting a mode of operation; and
means responsive to said mode means for causing said output to supply access grant signals at a different rate.
This invention relates to arbitrations of priority requests for access to system resources and particularly to bus arbitration, especially star bus arbitration, a process for resolving the assignment of one of a plurality of simultaneousrequestors for access to a system resource, usually a system bus. Once a requestor (device or processor) is given control of the resource, it can occupy it until the task is completed or for a predetermined period of time.
Electronic computer systems usually require that the processor have access to input and output devices for useful functioning. For most efficient operation, such devices operate independently from the central processor. That is, unlike earlycomputer systems where the devices were controlled by the central processing unit, modern design moves the processing function into the device, permitting the central processor and the devices to function simultaneously and independently. At times,however, the devices must access resources shared with other devices and with the central processor. For example, the main memory is often a shared resource and is accessed via a system bus. The central processor operates on data stored in the memoryand some devices are used to store data from outside the system into the memory for processing while other devices read data from the memory for use outside the system, e.g., printing the results of computation and processing.
To reduce interference with the workings of the central processor, a technique known as Direct Memory Access (DMA) is used to enable devices to read from or to write to the memory without requiring the central processor's intervention. Theaddress of the data location in memory is stored in the device (or a channel through which the device operates) and used to address the memory during one or more cycles while the central processor and other devices are inhibited from accessing thememory. The DMA process operates as an interrupt procedure, so called because it doesn't always require access to the memory on a regular, periodic basis and interrupts the central system for access asynchronously. Such a process is also called cyclestealing.
All the devices, including the central processor, cannot access the memory bus simultaneously because there would be no way to distinguish the separate signals. Therefore, resource requests must be arbitrated in a way that fulfills therequirements of all the devices. Some devices operate at higher data rates than others. For example, a disk storage device can read and write data at a faster rate than a paper tape device. As a result, the high speed device needs faster and morefrequent accesses to the memory bus than slow speed devices. Therefore, priority of access among devices is necessary.
The assignment of priorities to individual devices in a system is based on more than speed considerations. It is also necessary to prevent one or more high priority devices from crowding out a lower priority device to the extent that the latterdoes not obtain access to the systems resources sufficiently for proper operation or often enough resulting in lost data.
Using fixed priority schemes with hardware implementation has the advantage of high speed arbitration without interfering with the operation of the central processor. Using variable priority schemes under control of the central processor is moreflexible but is slower and requires intervention of the central processor.
Several techniques of varying priority assignments have been developed including rotating priority among devices, using serial or polling procedures, and other complicated methods.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,229,791 discloses the use of individual arbitration circuits for controlling access to a common bus. Each circuit has a preassigned priority level but can be added or removed from the system or disabled without affecting theoperation of the other units.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,257,095 discloses a shared system bus having an arbitration circuit that allows a lower priority device to access the system during times when a higher priority device, which has control of the system bus, is idle or accessing abus other than the system bus.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,538 discloses a parallel, asynchronous arbitration of access requests which can be fixed priority, cyclic sequential, or mixed priority.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,716,523 discloses a programmably selective data transfer mode whereby the data transfer can be DMA mode or interrupt driven mode. DMA and character interrupt requests are arbitrated to pass control to a DMA controller or acharacter interrupt controller.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,418,974 discloses a priority system which stores the priority assignments in fixed memory locations with an addressing arrangement for addressing the memory locations cyclically and granting priority based on information storedwith the priority assignments.
The invention avoids the disadvantages of a software-only or a hardware-only system by combining the advantages of both. It also avoids the problem of freezing out a slow, low priority requestor by limiting the number of successive accessesgranted to the high priority requestors.
The invention has the ability to assign multiple requestors at the same priority level and resolve any conflicts while assigning a limit to the number of requestor's successive accesses, all during a single request/grant cycle.
In accordance with the invention, a system assigns priority access levels and sets associated bump values. When access requests are received, arbitration of the requests is made in accordance with the assigned priorities, bump values, and thereceived access requests. If a high priority level access request is granted, then the same request will be held off for a successive number of access grants as set by the bump values. In cases where access is required for more than one successiverequest/grant cycle, the priority level access can be retained as long as required.
The invention is described in detail by referring to the various figures which illustrate specific embodiments of the invention, and wherein like numerals refer to like elements.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the arbitration logic.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the controller for the arbitration apparatus.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the bump logic control.
FIG. 4 is a table specifying the state machine controlling the arbitration logic.
The following definitions are supplied to make the description of the preferred embodiment more clear and concise.
A bus master is a circuit capable of accessing and controlling at least one associated bus and which must access a bus for proper operation, e.g., direct memory transfers (DMA) for exchanging data between a system memory and an input/outputdevice without the intervention of the system processor.
Star arbitration is a priority request system receiving access requests in parallel, and one of several parallel requests results in an access grant to the requestor having the highest priority or according to some other criteria.
The star arbitration system being described has four bus masters which compete in any combination and order for control of a bus. The limit to four bus masters makes the system description easier to understand, but the system can be expanded toany number of bus masters. The notation used makes the expansion of the system to more than four requestors clear and assists in the understanding of the description. The system described for bus access is applicable to other systems having multiplerequestors for access to system resources in general.
The star arbitration system according to the invention has programmable variables which can be set by an associated processor. The programmable features include a priority level assignment to each bus master and a bump value associated with eachbus master which controls a bus lock function. The system can resolve conflicts caused by the same priority level being assigned to more than one bus master.
The bump value determines the number of request/grant cycles a higher priority bus master must relinquish to other bus masters requesting access to the bus.
The bus masters in the following description are limited to four, denoted as A, B, C, or D and represented generally as X. Each has a separate request line, REQX, and a separate grant line, GNTX. Each bus master has an assigned priority,PX(1,0), i.e., a two-bit binary number. The value 00, or decimal 0, represents the highest priority and the value 11, decimal 3, is the lowest priority. The priorities assigned to the bus masters need not be mutually exclusive. In other words,different bus masters can be assigned the same priority level.
Each bus master also has an assigned bump value, BX(1,0), a two-bit binary number for purposes of illustration. The bump value assigned to a bus master sets the number of request/grant cycles the bus master must relinquish to other bus mastersif and only if other requests are pending.
The priority levels and bump values are supplied by the control processor over a processor bus. A two-phase clock is used for timing and the system is arranged so that the priority granted in response to requests is completed in onerequest/grant cycle by using a multilevel logic network.
Although PX and BX are described as two-bit values, they can be expanded to any number of bits. When a priority request is granted to X, a signal GPX is set and remains set for the number of request/grant cycles represented by the bump value,BX(1,0). The setting of GPX effectively causes the priority level of the associated X bus master to be bumped down by one level, e.g., from level 0 to level 1. If another bus master gets control of the bus, then the bump value is decremented at eachrequest/grant cycle until it reaches zero, permitting the associated bus master to obtain control of the bus once again, or when the other bus masters requesting access have been bumped to the same priority level. In other words, the bump value sets thenumber of request/grant cycles that other bus masters can get control of the bus between successive accesses by each bus master. The value of BX is
1) decremented if a new bus master obtains control of the bus,
2) set to zero if no bus master requests control of the bus, and
3) set to its original value if the associated bus master obtains control of the bus.
If two bus masters have the same assigned priority or a conflict results, then priority is granted alphabetically. That is, A precedes B, B precedes C, and so on. This is determined by the way the request lines are connected to the logic.
Two programmable operation modes are provided. One is a nonoverlap mode, ACMODE=1, which allows the processor to access the bus more frequently and the other is the overlap mode, ACMODE=0, which can handle successive priority requests moreefficiently. The mode can be set depending on whether a large number of processor memory accesses are anticipated or a large number of priority requests will be required, e.g., loading large amounts of data such as page buffers.
In the following description, "&" represents the logical AND operation; "v", the logical OR operation; "@", the logical Exclusive-OR operation; and, "'", the logical NOT operation.
The letter X represents, in the preferred embodiment, the variable identifiers A, B, C, and D. For example, REQX represents four signals, viz., REQA, REQB, REQC, and REQD. This permits a notation to be used that is general in nature and whichencompasses any number of variable identifiers. For example, in an embodiment requiring eight request levels, REQX can represent REQA through REQH. The priority and bump values can also employ more than two bits (binary digits). The notation used alsomakes the invention more easily understood.
Two time pulses, T1 and T2, alternate, comprising a two-phase clock for timing purposes.
FIG. 1 shows the logic diagram for the arbitration network. A bus latch 101, comprising a plurality of flip-flops, is used to initiate the process by storing bits from a processor bus in response to a START signal gated by a time pulse T1 via anAND gate 103. The output signal from the AND gate 103 is also used as a RST signal by the control logic.
In the embodiment being described, eight bits (two bits per bus master) form the bump values which are gated into an eight-bit register 109 via a multiplexor 105. That is, the stored bits from the register 101 are gated via the multiplexor 105into the register 109 by a time pulse T2. At the same time, eight bits denoting priority assignments are gated into a register 111. At a time T1, the contents of the register 109 are gated into a register 119 and the contents of the register 111 aregated into a register 115.
The same T1 timing pulse also stores in a four-bit register 117 active priority request signals REQA, REQB, REQC, or REQD. These signals are denoted collectively as REQX and are ORed together to generate a VREQX signal for use by the controllogic.
Between time pulse T1 and the next time pulse T2, signals from the registers 115, 117, and 119 pass through four levels of combinatorial logic. The combinatorial logic at the fourth level 127 generates a new priority grant gated by a timingsignal, PGNT. The output signals from the combinatorial logic fourth level 127 are gated into flip-flops 131, 133, 135, and 137 by a time pulse T2.
The combinatorial logic first level 121 combines the bump value bits, BX(1,0) and the REQX bits to produce four output signals, XREQ.
If the left-hand member of the logic equation contains an X, the expression forming the right-hand member of the logic equation is evaluated four times, successively substituting for X the logic variable identifiers A, B, C, and D.
Equation (1), for example, indicates four logical signals are generated, viz., AREQ, BREQ, CREQ, and DREQ. Each signal component is derived by substituting the same variable identifier in the right-hand member of the equation, e.g.,
and so on.
Equation (3) for LR has no X variable identifier on the left-hand side but X appears in the right-hand expression. The notation used in equation (3) indicates the parenthesized term is ORed for all values of X, i.e., A, B, C, and D. That is,
The XREQ signals from the combinatorial logic first level 121 are applied as input signals to the next two levels of combinatorial logic 123 and 125.
The XREQ signals are also ORed to supply a VXREQ signal to the controller to be used in a manner described below in more detail.
The combinatorial logic second level 123 combines the XREQ signals and the PX(1,0) priority signals to produce four output signals, GNT(0-3) as follows:
Equation (8) is interpreted as ORing the ANDed values of XREQ with the priority bits PX(1,0) that decode to the indicated value of n. For example,
Equation (10) is derived from equation (9) using DeMorgan's Theorem.
Another example of equation (8) using n=2 is ##EQU1##
Equations (4) through (7) can be generalized to
In the combinatorial logic third level 125, the XREQ, GNT (0-3), and PX (1,0) signals are combined to generate four output signals, XGNT, by
The XGNT signals are gated by a control signal PGNT, described below in more detail, to produce a GNTX signal, the final priority grant signal, which is stored in an appropriate flip-flop 131, 133, 135, or 137 by a time pulse T2. The prioritygrant signals are generated by
where Y is a substitute variable, i.e., a dummy variable, for X to denote the ORed value of the logic variable identifiers up to but not including X. For example,
The GNTX signals are used by the control logic and are also ORed to generate a VGNTX signal for use by the controller.
The multiplexor 105 represents eight multiplexors in parallel, each controlled by signals XK0 and XK1. That is, there are two bit bump values for each request channel, A, B, C, and D. The multiplexors can reset the registers 109 by gatinglogical zeros when the values of XK1 and XK0 are zero. When the XK values are one, the bits from the register 101 are gated to the register 109. When the XK values are two, the present bump values in register 119 are decremented and stored in register109. An XK value of three recycles the previous bump values from the register 119 to the register 109.
FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the bump control logic. The control logic 301 is supplied for each value of X, four in the embodiment being described. All the input signals to the logic 301 are the same for each value of X except for the signalGNTX. The STATE C and DMAREQ signals are supplied by the controller logic as described below in greater detail. The VXREQ and the VREQX signals are described above. The HOLD signal is supplied by a controlling processor and can be stored in anadditional latch from the processor bins in the register 101 of FIG. 1.
The output signals, XK1 and XK0, from the bump control logic 301 control an associated multiplexor 105 shown in FIG. 1.
The logic equations controlling the multiplexor 105 are:
From equations (15)-(18), the individual control bit logic equations are derived:
The above equations completely specify the logic network of the bump control logic 301.
The decrementer 107 in FIG. 1, one for each set of bump values, operates according to the following logic equations:
where BXn* are the output signals from the decrementer 107 which are gated into the register 109 by time pulse T1.
The source of the signals that make up the PRI signals in equation 19 are from the controller, explained below in detail.
In addition to the priority assignments, PX, and the bump values, BX, supplied by the processor, other signals of interest from the processor include an LSP (Load/Store Pending) signal which indicates that the central processor requires access tothe bus. This inhibits priority request grants until the central processor has completed its required bus access.
When a bus master will require control of the bus for more than one request/grant cycle, e.g., for a DMA burst of several request/grant cycles, it supplies a HOLD signal. Similarly, a HOLD signal can be supplied by a resource when it requiresseveral contiguous request/grant cycles.
These signals control the controller state machine shown in FIG. 2. The controller logic comprises a sequential state machine having four states. The signals of interest from the controller are the PGNT and the DMAREQ signals.
The DMAREQ signal is supplied by the controller when a request has been granted to keep the controller, a state machine, from changing state or granting another request until the bus master granted access has actually assumed control of the bus. The DMAREQ signal is reset when a bus master assumes control of the bus. In the logic of the controller, an output signal from the control logic sets a flip-flop 203 which supplies the DMAREQ signal. The flip-flop 203 is reset when a bus master isgranted control of the bus as signified by the VGNTX signal.
The input signals to the controller logic 201 include the present state signal, the signals from the processor (HOLD, LSP, ACMODE), and the VXREQ signal from the arbitration logic of FIG. 1.
The output signals from the controller logic 201 are PGNT and the signal which sets the DMAREQ signal. Other output signals may be required by a complete system but are not of interest nor necessary for the description of the invention.
The controller logic is completely specified by the table of FIG. 4.
The first nine rows of FIG. 4 represent input signals and state signals of the controller.
The bottom six rows of FIG. 4 are the output signals that result from the input and state signals.
The top four rows are the possible machine states. (The state labels of A, B, C, and D are not related and are completely independent from the bus master labels.) In the overlap mode, the controller uses all four states. In the nonoverlap mode,only States A and C are used.
State A is the initial state entered when the machine is first powered on and is the idle state during operation. State B is the waiting or hold-off state. State C is the GO state during which the operations of the hardware are controlled,principally by the generation of the PGNT signal. State D is the gap state and maintains the control signals from State C to provide a smooth transition to the idle state.
In the columns of the first nine rows, a value of 1 indicates the machine is in the state represented by the row in which the 1 appears or that the logic signal represented by the row is true (active). A 0 represents the associated logic signalis false (inactive). A blank entry means the value of the logic signal is not required, commonly referred to as a don't-care value.
In the columns of the bottom six rows, an X indicates that the signal associated with the row in which the X appears is generated. The action is the logical AND result of the variables in the top nine rows of the same column.
For example, the first column shows the controller machine is in State A, the LSP signal is active, and the ACMODE signal is inactive. The action resulting from this combination of signals is to Select A, i.e., cause State A to be the nextstate. The logic equation represented by the first column is
The second column represents the action taken when in State A and not in ACMODE and both the DMAREQ and HOLD signals are active while the LSP signal is inactive. The next state selected is State B. That is,
The same signals while in State B cause State B to be selected as the next state, i.e., the controller enters and remains in the wait state.
While in State B, if the LSP signal is active while the ACMODE signal remains inactive, State A is selected.
The actions of interest in the states of the controller of FIG. 4 occur in States C and D when the VXREQ signal is active. These conditions generate the DMAREQ and PGNT signals. These two signals depend only on the state and VXREQ signal.
The last six columns show the state transitions when in the ACMODE. The output signals, DMAREQ and PGNT, are generated only in State C when the VXREQ signal is active. Without the intermediate States B and D, however, the controller machine canrespond to contiguous successive request signals.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications in form and details may be made thereinwithout departing from the spirit and scope of the invention according to the following claims.

There are many individuals out there who are concerned about the victims of the 2015 Nepal earthquake. One such individual is Majeed Ekbal. He is especially concerned about the individuals who suffered terribly and who are still suffering because of the earthquake since he has so many friends who live in that country. He has set up a Go Fund Me campaign to raise $1 million for the victims of the earthquake.
Clay Sculptures by Majeed Ekbal from Majeed Ekbal on Vimeo.
There are many people in the country of Nepal who are still suffering. Thousands of people have been left homeless, while lots of other people are dealing with a lack of food and serious illnesses. It is Majeed Ekbal's hope that the million dollars he raises will be used with other donations to help relieve some of this suffering. Once the million dollars is raised, he plans to put it in a crowdrise campaign.
Majeed Ekbal has already been donating funds to this campaign. He is an entrepreneur who lives in the Chicago area. He owns the company Espresso Inc. This is a company that provides service to individuals in the area who are busy. Customers can go online and select food items that will be delivered from local stores to their home. He has had success as a business owner. Majeed Ekbal realizes that people can save their valuable time by having grocery items delivered to their home instead of needing to go to large grocery stores and specialty shops in the area.

Life is Beautiful
It is beautiful Fall season in Georgia. As the students admire the changing colors around them, they cannot help but, be awed by the Glory of their Creator. From new pets to popular tea hangouts, from assignments on paper, to personal reflections...change is everywhere. The students themselves are growing. As one of them said, "The light of ilm is surely leaving a mark" Subhan'Allah
Late Night Whisper
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
I search for words that I cannot find
In an attempt to define this new reality of mine
Awake at an absolutely ridiculous hour
Affected by a dose of Sabri's tea-brewing power
I'm trapped in the path of an indulgent nafs
Seeking remnants from memories now long past
But I fail to muster any late-night clarity
Except heartfelt gratitude for my newborn family
How spectacular it is to share and care
To desire a departure from a world masked in despair
The light of 'ilm is surely leaving a mark
With the gloom of ignorance no longer frightfully dark
Though the path is visible, it has yet to be reached
All thoughts of old must now be breached
Only by Allah's grace can we tread the way
Beseeching His guidance all night and day
To You, ya Allah, belongs our certain return
The depths of which we've yet to discern
Forgive us and guide us to what we need
To be ambassadors of truth in both heart and deed,
In the midst of a week filled with stressful studying and amazing people passing away in commmunity, one day walking home after class we noticed a car stopped in the middle of the road and heard the cries of a kitten. Allhamdullilah, a sister was able to save the injured stray kitten and eventually one of our fellow students was able to adopt him <3
" Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer? " Waqiah:72
Battle scars
Know that what He enabled to come on your lips, was a sign He wanted to grant you it.
"Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Al-Ghafuwr (the Most-Forgiving), Ar-Raheem (the most merciful." Sarah Noor, verse 22
If Allah Himself is forgiving, what rights do we have to judge and hold grudges? Likewise, who are we to put limits on these faculties when we need so much pardoning ourselves? Allah says (paraphrasing) if He treated our deeds like a tit-for-tat transaction there wouldn't be a single person left on this earth. Yet Allah is not a businessman, and doesn't need our reward or punishment. So let the lower egos and jinns banking on these semantic games know those truly reliant on His love have no concerns with these things, let alone other's misgivings.
Working on speaking only when what is being said is more Beautiful than silence. Thinking several times before doing or saying anything. I am already an introvert even though I can be extroverted but somehow I'm still saying Wow. Please make Duas for a sister.
"And they ask you concerning the mountains. Say, My lord will uproot them and scatter them as dust." [Surah Taha, 105]
Study hard and smile while you're at it. That's something I am learning throughout this experience. Things might be tough, you might cry or breakdown...but Allhamdullilah it's what builds you.
Men in Black
فاذكروني اذكركم
So remember Me. and I will remember you
Dedicated student vigorously heading to class
Start your journey to الله
Where to... Where from.. And why??
(Shaykh Muhammad an-Ninowy)

The Smell of the NightBook - 2005
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Another great addition to the Inspector Montalbano series. I enjoyed this book even though I already knew the ending. Usually I read a book before watching the movie or television series based on it, but that wasn't the case this time. I have viewed quite a few of the episodes from the Italian television series, "Detective Montalbano", based on Andrea Camilleri's novels (all with English subtitles). Luca Zingaretti stars as Inspector Montalbano. "The Scent of the Night" is in Series 4. What can I say? I love both the books and the TV series - I only wish they'd never end!
Utterly charming. Salvo reminds me of Louise Penny's Armand Gamache, and Michael Connelly's Hieronymous Bosch... wise and smart detectives, each with a heart of gold. A great book for all the right reasons: plot, character development... and bonus humor! The early on scene where 3 detectives are trying to avert being shot by the old guy is hilarious! Highly recommended!
This is the sixth book in the series featuring Inspector Montalbano. Here, there are a bunch of upset people in town because they invested their money with a man named Gargano who has disappeared along with their money. It came to Montalbano's attention when one upset elderly man took an employee of Gargano's hostage. As usual, there are things that bother him about what people say and do and that leads him to recheck information and find the truth. The title comes from a description of the one witness that everyone else dismissed, as he describes his way of telling time.
On the personal side, he is worried about his relationship with his girlfriend Livia, and has a violent reaction to the loss of one of his two places that he goes to think.

Korea: KFIU says yes "WE Can EN:D" violence against women in workplace
Spurred by the spirit of a burgeoning #Me Too movement, the Korea Finance Industry Union (KFIU) marked the 2nd year of its Women Committee establishment by launching its own campaign: "We Can EN:D" in conjunction with International Women's Day. The campaign is a proclamation of solidarity with the victims of sexual violence.
It saw about 100 women and men leaders of KFIU gathering in the City Hall's conference room on March 8th holding up "We Can EN:D" signs. They declared that all people must be respected and equally treated. Putting a stop to gender based roles and breaking the silence of victims is an essential step toward achieving gender equal workplaces.
The "#Me Too" term was originally coined in 2006 by Tarana Burke, an American civil rights activist, as a bid to raise awareness of the pervasiveness of sexual abuse and assault in society. The term was popularised after actress Alyssa Milano started using it on social media in October 2017 in response to allegations of misconduct by public figures. It soon gained worldwide attention when women started using it in relation to their own experiences.
In Korea, the movement has gained remarkable traction in less than 2 months since it first caught on. Allegations had surfaced involving prominent figures such as celebrated poets, musical directors, movie directors, professors and politicians. Although some quarters cast doubts on the sustainability of the movement in a deeply conservative and patriarchal society, the trend now looks unstoppable.
South Korea's President Moon Jae-in had stated his strong support of the campaign. Expressing his respect for the courage of victims who spoke out about the abuses they suffered, he urged law enforcement authorities to actively launch investigations, and to ensure no one goes unpunished if convicted regardless of their backgrounds.
UNI Apro's Regional Secretary, Christopher Ng, congratulates the KFIU's Women Committee on its 2nd anniversary and commended the union for making a strong and bold contribution to ending violence against women.

✔ Organic and Fair Trade Kotobuki Tea (50g)
✔ Matcha Green Tea
✔ Contains Vitamin A & C
✔ Contains Potassium, Iron, Zinc & Calcium
✔ 50 g = 50 servings
Just like Zen Buddhists were already doing centuries ago, Amanprana has based its imperial 'Kotobuki' teas on the unique traditional Japanese production of Matcha.
We have created 3 imperial 'Kotobuki' teas: Matcha, Rooibos and Earl Grey. Amanprana 'Kotobuki' tea is produced from the whole youngest and finest leaves of the Camellia sinensis from Japan (Matcha), the Aspalathus linearis from South Africa (Rooibos), Darjeeling from the first picking and Assam from the first picking from India (Earl Grey).
The veins are expertly removed and the leaf is slowly ground in granite mills to an ultrafine tea powder. This is done at only 40g per hour, maintaining the quality and taste.
Kotobuki means 'long life' in Japanese. Hippocrates' saying "Let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food" is one of the fundamental beliefs here at Amanprana. For this reason, Amanprana takes care to create products with the best quality, taste and enjoyment. The ground leaves of our Matcha, Rooibos and Earl Grey teas are on a whole other level. Only excellence amd eliciously tasty!

What is matcha?
Matcha is a finely ground Japanese green tea. The tea plant is grown and harvested in a different way than tea plants intended for white and black tea or oolong and Pu-erh tea. The plants are covered the last 4 weeks before the harvest. After steaming the leaves, they are ground to an (ultra)fine green tea powder.
How do I recognize good matcha?
There are three ways to assess the quality of matcha, without tasting it.
1. Smell – the grassier, the better
Good quality matcha has a fresh, grassy smell. A dull, dusty smell indicates a lesser quality, or that the matcha has been diluted with another substance.
2. Color – The greener, the better
Matcha with a bright green color is rich in chlorophyll. This indicates that the tea leaves were properly covered and were harvested at the right time. Matcha with yellow-green color is of lower quality. This matcha is made with tea leaves that were not correctly covered, not covered long enough, or is made with tea leaves from the bottom of the tea plant.
3. Grain – The finer, the better
Matcha has to feel silky-soft, meaning the leaves were very finely ground and this is only possible when the tea plant is correctly covered and harvested. Matcha of high quality has the texture of eyeshadow; there is almost no grain to be found.
These 3 factors can help with purchasing the right matcha. If you have the chance to taste the matcha, then you can recognize good quality from its taste. Matcha should have a green, grassy taste with a sweet undertone. Matcha of lesser quality will taste bitter and will have an unpleasant after taste.
Can you use every type of matcha in pastries and dishes?
Yes you can, but would you open a €50 bottle of wine to enrich your sauce? When you use matcha to prepare a drink, you should opt for top quality matcha such as the Kotobuki Matcha from Amanprana or the Super Premium Matcha TEN and the Premium Matcha HORAI from Aiya. Then you can enjoy the rich taste of matcha. Are you looking to add the taste of green tea to your dish, then you lose some of the top quality flavor amongst the other ingredients. Therefore, it is better to opt for a matcha which is meant to use for baking or cooking, such as the matcha from Aromandise.
What do you need to prepare matcha?
You prepare matcha with a chasen (matcha-whisk) in a ceremonial chawan (a traditional matcha bowl). The chawan has a wide opening so that it is easy for the matcha to be whisked to a foamy, green matcha. A chasen also has a sturdy bottom, so that the bowl can easily be held whilst drinking matcha.
If desired, matcha can also be strained before adding water and whisking the tea with the chasen. This leaves less chances of clots forming.
Can matcha be drunk at any moment in the day?
Yes. Connoisseurs and matcha lovers recommend to start your day with matcha. The feeling of calm focus stays with you throughout the day and is the ideal helper for starting your days' tasks with energy. Moreover, the oxygen boost provided is more than welcome after sleep. However, Matcha is not soporific. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink green tea before bedtime, like other caffeinated beverages.
How can you influence the taste of matcha?
Matcha lovers adore the natural, grassy flavor of matcha. This is the taste of umami. And the higher the quality of matcha, the more umami is present. (Umami can also be found in other Japanese products such as miso, tamari, umeboshi…) Healthy and tasty!
Those who want to enjoy the health benefits of matcha but still have to get used to the umami flavor, can mix the foamy green tea with (vegetable) milk. This is an easy way to sweeten matcha and to moderate the typical umami taste.
Why is matcha often compared to wine?
Much like the differences in various wine sorts, there are many differences between the various matcha sorts. A cheaper wine is often a lesser wine. The same principle applies to matcha. A novice wine drinker has to develop their taste pallet before they can truly appreciate a more expensive bottle of wine for what it truly is. Again, the same principle applies to matcha. Price is often an indication of quality. Nonetheless, cheaper matchas with a fine taste can also be found, much like the ceremonial AKASHI from Aiya.
What nutritional values does matcha have?
Matcha is rightfully called a green superfood. Good quality matcha is rich in polyphenols, L-theanine, antioxidants, catechins… Your body will thank you for drinking matcha daily. With matcha you consume the entire tealeaf and not only the water-soluble particles.
How much matcha is required in order to reap the health benefits?
Half a teaspoon per day is enough for one cup of matcha, and is enough to help support your health. Matcha has a high ORAC-value. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and refers to the amount of antioxidants found per 100g. In general, it is recommended for your daily ORAC intake to be somewhere between 3500 and 5000, in order to neutralize free-radicals. Depending on the quality of matcha, your cup of matcha will contain more or less ORAC. Kotobuki Matcha from Amanprana, for example, has an ORAC value of 168500/100g. This is much higher than other known superfoods, such as broccoli, blueberries, goji berries and raw cacao.

A 55-year-old Macon man has been issued a citation on charges he unlawfully fired guns inside the Macon city limit Tuesday while allegedly waiting on an ambulance, according to Macon police.
Police officers responded to the 1800 block of Swan Drive at about 1:45 p.m. Monday in reference to shots being fired, according to a police report.
Isaiah Morgan, of Swan Drive, told officers he is a diabetic and called 911 for help. He said he was shooting guns because the ambulance didn't come fast enough, according to the report.
A woman living in the 1700 block of Wren Avenue told officers her apartment was hit by a stray bullet, but it wasn't damaged. She said she didn't want to press charges, according to the report.
Morgan was taken to the hospital for treatment of low blood sugar, according to the police.MAN

Constitution under siege. Judiciary to exercise inherent powers to administer the law.
Members of the Community Coalition Against Corruption (CCAC) met last Friday (29/04/16) concerned that Papua New Guinea is facing a constitutional crisis orchestrated by individuals who seem to think the public offices they hold entitles them to undermine the basic principles of PNG's democracy.
The CCAC, co-chaired by Transparency International PNG and the Media Council, called the meeting in the light of more attempts to prevent investigations of alleged misuse of public office.
The CCAC does not accept the closure of the National Fraud & Anti Corruption Directorate by the Police Commissioner. It cannot be seen as coincidental that, immediately following court decisions regarding the work of senior police officers, action was taken to close down the office and place it under siege by police officers who do not appear to understand the implications of their actions.
The CCAC reminds members of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary at all levels that efforts to obstruct the legal process can result in the Judiciary executing its inherent powers to administer the law and ensure that justice is served for the best interest of the nation.
The CCAC encourages all involved in public office to consider the powers they have, and the obligations they carry, to ensure that the laws, Constitution and institutions of PNG are treated with the required respect and honesty. Solemn promises have been given to the people of PNG and each office holder should examine these promises and his or her inherent powers in responding to attacks on the foundations of our society.
The CCAC appeals directly to the Police Commissioner to be seen to carry out his duties fairly. We seek assurance from the Ombudsman Commission of PNG that it is responding to allegations of serious breaches of the Leadership Code. We also call on the Offices of the Public Prosecutor, Public Solicitor and the Auditor General (All Constitutional Office holders) to show that they are indeed independent and obliged by oath to respond.
Finally, the CCAC appeals to elected leaders to demonstrate moral and ethical leadership and responsibility. It is not acceptable that any public office holder, whether Constitutional Officer holder or holding other executive office of responsibility, should be permitted to use that office to undermine democracy and justice. Yet sackings, defiance of court orders, cynical refusal to face questions concerning illegal payments and many more serious attacks on our institutions appear to be occurring.
Papua New Guinea is being dragged into a constitutional crisis which creates division within society and even within the institutions established to protect the people and their constitution. The CCAC has confidence that public officials can see the danger and their obligations.

After a long and full day in the car, it was too tempting.
After a morning of rawkus diapers, the premonitions of the rest of today's drive were not...enthusiastic. Thankfully, that wore off and the day turned towards the epic.
There are only five factors in the Frasier's Scale of Road-Trip Epicness:
- Weather: Save the proverbial smog around the Mormon capital of Salt Lake - it was a blue-bird day with minimal wind.
- Wildlife: We saw, in this order: Whitetail, Mulee, Mountain Lion (near Bear Trap Canyon - watch out fishermen), herds of Elk, herds of Antelope, Pelicans, Sandhill Cranes, Ravens, and even got to follow Desert Bighorn tracks near sunset.
- Behavior of Children: They were practically angels, despite getting up at 6AM and not napping all day.
- Behavior of Road-Trip Buddy: Elyse is the world's greatest travel companion - and I'm saying that, coming from a place of experience. In total, I've traveled cross-state, cross-continent or cross-ocean in a "mutual-travel-companion" situation with over 30 people in the last 10 years. Of all of them, Elyse is queen. If the saying, "One of the greatest attributes a human being can discipline in to their lives is a steady calm." is true - then it is doubly true of a travel companion. And she embodies that. Even in rush-hour traffic, or rushing through an airport with two toddlers hanging off her. It also helps that she's a good kisser, but that's neither here nor there.
- Discovery: We, Elyse and I, are not adventurers. I don't know if I ever have been, and she claims that she never has. Even on some of the harryer trips, it's not been about a rush or sense of accomplishment. It's about the discovery of new things. Things that we didn't know about. Things that make us look twice, detour, or blow up our idea of the world. Or, at least that corner of the world that we are in. Though we traveled a familiar highway route today, discovery was there in a big way. Not in where we were, but in seeing our kids' minds blown by what they were seeing. We discovered new emotions today that will stick with us for the rest of our lives.
Now, that's enough fru-fru talk, so here's what happened.
Today was too good of a day to just drive past the exit for Moab and Arches when we found ourselves two hours ahead of schedule. I looked at the clock at 5:15, saw the exit coming on the map and said, "Hey sweetie...wanna take the kids to Arches?"
Arches was not in our plan for this trip. We just didn't see a way to fit it in with all the other things going on. For instance - I was on the phone or playing phone tag all day with vendors and folks from work...maybe while driving, depending on which state laws you're looking at. :/ Tomorrow, I'll be in the offices all day and then on Wednesday, we start making our sprint towards Phoenix for the graduation. There just wasn't time.
But today, after such an awesome day, we had time. And the kids needed it. We needed it.
So, we did it.
Arches is a very special place for us. It was the first major stop on our Honeymoon trip back in 2010. In fact, next month, it will be 5 years since that trip. We joked, that first time, that we would someday bring our kids to this weird and hellish place in the desert where the temps and flies could send you into a childlike tantrum. Right in the middle of the path. I have seen it at the North Windows section. It's called, "Ivemadeahugemistakeitus" and it can happen to the best of us. Like a stupid young couple on their honeymoon.
I've since been back a few more times since then (without Elyse) and it's presently the only National Park in which I have hiked every single trail at least once. That's not saying much in a park so small, but give me my moment in the hot sun.
I'm not saying that Elyse and I cried at different times throughout the evening, but to see our kids enjoy a place that means so much to us was particularly touching.
Watching them discover and explore and run and sing and splash in the fresh spring T-storm puddles and find rare desert bighorn tracks - that was more cool to me than practically any of the expeditions, through-hikes, or personal discoveries I've ever made.
Now I know why my dad loved having us catch fish and shoot deer instead of him. It's freakin' addicting watching your kids overcome with joy and wonder.
I'm sure there's a deeper lesson there, but it's late, so I'm just going to leave you all with some pictures:
