I recently spent nine weeks in Iraq working as a freelance independent journalist. On a daily basis, I witnessed first-hand the corporate media either mis-reporting or not reporting stories as they arose.
The signs were glaring -- from the parking lot full of parked white SUV's in the middle of the day supposedly used by the CNN and Fox news crews, to the absence of ABC, NBC, or CBS media crews at any of the sites of the news stories I was covering. Even stories that were on the front pages stateside are regularly being covered from the press room and not the field.
It's no wonder the corporate media rarely reports on the torturing of many of the over 10,000 detained Iraqis by the US military, the constant home raids, or the infrastructure in nearly complete disrepair as we begin the second year of the occupation. For most of the corporate media tend to stick closer to their hotels, rather than where the stories are occurring and being lived every day -- out amongst the Iraqi people.
The majority of the corporate media tend to simply go where the U.S. military tells them it is safe to go, while donning their flack jackets, helmets, and the preferred 'we vs. they' mentality with Iraqis. Once they arrive at the scene of, say, a sealed off section of Baghdad where yet another Improvised Explosive Device has detonated near a passing patrol, they are herded to the one section the military allows to be photographed - so at best they might get shots of an already cleaned up scene. The U.S. military in Iraq has a strong tendency to hide its own destroyed hardware to sanitize a scene, and the corporate media does a good job of making sure they don't run photographs of this, nor any wounded or dead U.S. soldiers.
Then there is, of course, the editorial selection factor. In mid-December I broke a story of U.S. military personnel detaining sixteen 14-17 year-old school boys at a secondary school in Al-Amiriya, Baghdad for holding a non-violent pro-Saddam Hussein demonstration after the dictator was captured.
When a friend who writes for the AP assisted in filing the story of armed soldiers pulling children from their classrooms to over 100 major newspapers throughout the U.S., only one editor responded. The reply? "This is not news."
Other stories I covered that were never run by corporate media outlets included a massacre near Ramadi where the military executed three men from a family, the gross mis-reporting of the military of their 'killing' 54 Fedayin fighters in Samarra during the end of November (really there were two fighters and eight civilians killed), or the fact that most of the people in southern Iraq are suffering from water borne diseases due to the fact that Bechtel is not fulfilling their contractual obligations and rebuilding the water infrastructure there.
Instead, the US public is fed bogus polls telling them half of Iraqis feel they are better off now with a year of occupation under their belts. That is an amazing figure, since nearly every one of the hundreds of Iraqis I interviewed throughout Iraq was understandably enraged at the 70% unemployment, less than 8 hours of electricity per day in Baghdad, water so terrible there are cholera outbreaks in southern Iraq, and a security situation that spirals further out of control on a daily basis.
About the only time it's easy to find Iraqis who are pro-occupation is if you let the CPA show them to you, thus it's the journalists with the least initiative that find the rarest selections of public opinion by speaking to those pushing brooms or sitting at a desk at CPA HQ.
Every independent journalist I spoke with in Iraq reported the same thing: the majority of Iraqis, already incensed at the Americans' failure to rebuild, and coping with the aforementioned abuses and hardships, have run out of patience with the occupying forces.
In fact, the conduct of the corporate media in Iraq is making the climate more dangerous for journalists. I have arrived at the scene of an attack on the U.S. military to report their heavy-handed reactions of shooting several Iraqi civilians, only to be threatened and yelled at by angry Iraqis. Why? Because they had become frustrated with telling their stories to corporate journalists, only to have these journalists return to Baghdad and parrot the military press release.
The most common example of the lack of investigative journalism by the corporate media in Iraq is that most of the journalists simply parrot what General Kimmitt and Dan Senor (Mr. Bremer's spokesman) feed them at the Coalition Provisional Authority press conferences. During these surreal "press conferences", if the general or Mr. Senor are asked a tough question, the journalists microphone is sometimes cut, or the question is simply avoided altogether.
This was clearly illustrated when a US patrol was hit by an Improvised Explosive Device on January 27 in Khaldiya, an area between Ramadi and Baghdad.
The U.S. military reported three American soldiers and one Iraqi civilian killed in the attack. Every witness I interviewed at the scene, as well as wounded Iraqis in the nearby Ramadi hospital and an Iraqi Policeman, reported seeing far more body bags than the three reported by CENTCOM.
Meanwhile, Dr. Rayid Al-Ani, the Assistant Director of the Ramadi Hospital reported three dead Iraqis having been brought to his hospital from the scene of the attack, and said three of the wounded brought to him with terminal injuries died shortly thereafter. Did the military revise their story? Of course not. Did any of the corporate media outlets hold them accountable for this? Of course not. Did they even bother driving out to Khaldiya to check the military's claims?
Getting the facts in Iraq is not rocket science. I am simply doing my job as a journalist to report the Iraqi side of the story, along with the Coalition Press Information Center side. An informed citizenry forms the basis of a democracy. Not only are U.S. citizens being deprived of access to information about the true nature of the critical situation in Iraq, they are being outright lied to by most of the corporate media outlets.
Should the corporate media not be held accountable for blocking the democratic process? How can U.S. foreign policy be shifted when the media is simply not reporting the facts?
There may never have been a time such as this where the need for investigative independent journalism has been so great. In Iraq, citizens and soldiers both will continue to die on a daily basis while the corporate media continues to report on bogus polls.

By Patricia Bianca S. Taculao
In 2010, the Philippine government legally adopted the organic farming system when the Congress passed Republic Act no. 10068 or the Organic Act of 2010. It mandates the government to promote, propagate, develop, and implement organic agriculture in the country.
Marco Schulter, Naturland's international development manager and regional manager for Asia, shared some suggestions that could help Filipino farmers transition from the traditional farming methods to organic ones.
The first step, according to Schluter, should come from the government and its associated agencies.
"Farmers should be given proper monetary assistance along with the appropriate training on how they can slowly eradicate the use of spray-on pesticides and fertilizers," he said.
He added that giving farmers proper education about organic farming practices could help them implement such approaches on their farms.
After the government offers aid to farmers who wish to transition to organic farming, Schluter said that the next step should come from the farmers themselves because determination and initiative are what farmers need to get started in organic farming.
"If you started with traditional farming methods that use chemical applications, it's a real challenge to shift to organic farming. Yet, if the farmers are really steadfast on producing quality, chemical-free products then they would have to see it through from start to finish," Schulter said.
Naturland is a Germany-based international farmer's association for organic agriculture which aims to reconcile the interests of local producers with those of international operations in a globalized world.
It applies excellence standards to the organic agriculture and food sectors, in plant and animal production as well as food processing.
Currently, the association involves 65,000 farmers, beekeepers, fish farmers and fishers from 58 countries around the world.
Before a farm can receive an organic certification from Naturland, it has to undergo the following steps:
- Pre-evaluation. According to Schluter, representatives of the association such as himself personally visit farms to identify if they have the potential to become certified. Aside from inspecting to see if the farm would pass the standards of the EU Organic Regulation, Naturland also sets requirements that cover social responsibility, which is concerned with occupational health along with safety and employment conditions.
- Contract signing. Once accepted, the farmer or farmer group will sign a producer contract with Naturland wherein they agree to comply with the association's standards as well as regular inspections to be carried out by an accredited representative.
- Inspection. An independent inspection body will observe if the farm conforms to Naturland's standards before they give a detailed report to the certification committee. This is done every year.
- Deciding upon certification. The certification committee will then decide whether or not a farm is fit to receive or renew their Naturland organic certification renewed.
- Receiving a certificate from Naturland. After having completed the prior steps, the association will issue a certificate to include the farm as a part of Naturland Association for Organic Agriculture.
- Contract signing with Naturland Zeichen GmbH. If a farm is interested in using Naturland's logo in their products, they must sign a separate sublicense contract with the Naturland Zeichen GmbH.
In an effort to help Filipino organic farmers become globally-competitive, Naturland recently partnered with ECHOstore, a local store that sells eco-friendly and natural products to promote a lifestyle that cares for the environment.
"This partnership was made with the local farmers in mind. Apart from giving them the opportunity to be part of a market that practices social and fair trade, we are also keen on helping farms achieve an organic certification according to Naturland's standards," Schluter said.
Naturland has already certified several farms in the Philippines, giving them the privilege to use the association's logo on their products to show that they meet the standards of the EU in organic production. Some of these products can be found in ECHOstore branches in Makati and Quezon City.
Both Naturland and ECHOstore are looking forward to working with more certified organic farms in the country to promote local products to a global market.

Title: The Role of the Violin in Expressing The Musical Ideas of the Romantic Period and the Development of Violin Techniques in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries (2007)
My Thesis is divided into three sections. Part 1 is the main body of the research. Part 2 is the Guide to Performance which details the creative processes of the recorded performances (5 CD's). Part 3 is the five CD recordings of my performances.
The aim of this project was to explore the development of violin techniques in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the role of the violin in expressing the musical ideas of the age. The project was motivated by Guhr's Paganini's Art of Violin Playing, first published in 1829 and translated and edited in 1982 by J. Gold, which revealed Paganini's techniques. He is often seen as the bridge between the Classical and early Romantic Period. It was the aim of this thesis to reveal the performance practice of the age.
I compared and examined treatises and violin playing methods in order to determine

While Mayco is not bringing SG-101 back, they have a glaze mixture solution that will create a fantastic chalkboard surface!
The two products you'll need are Mayco Underglazes and Foundations Matte glazes.
The ratio for the mixture is 3 parts Foundations to 1 part Underglaze.
For Black Chalkboard Glaze: mix 3 parts FN-304 Black Velvet with 1 part UG-50 Jet Black.
In a small cup, mix 2 parts FN-304 Black Velvet and 1 part UG-50 Jet Black to create the chalkboard glaze.
Note: The 2-to-1 ratio may also work; both have been tested. The 3-to-1 ratio seems to be less porous and chalk marks wash away with a damp sponge more easily at the 3-to-1 ratio.
A great container to use is a terra cotta flowerpot. They have always been an inexpensive way to plant seeds or repot flowers. They can be found at your local hardware and craft stores. They are plain with no character just waiting for a signature.

What would a Biden administration mean for Canada?
President-elect Joe Biden will likely have to work with a Republican-controlled Senate when his administration takes over early next year, although runoff elections in Georgia in January could still deliver a majority to the Democrats. The extent to which the Democrats control Congress will help determine how much of the Biden administration's agenda can be implemented, at least without compromise. In the meantime, the Biden camp has begun rolling out its early policy plans. Here's what we know:
Re-shoring of American supply chains? Not so fast
One of the top priorities in the Biden administration's early transition plan is to "ensure the future is made in America." That will raise concerns that Canada could be shut out of U.S. government procurement. Canada is covered by the WTO's Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA), which aims for open procurement markets. But that doesn't mean Canadian exporters would be immune to a "Made in America" procurement policy. One only has to look back at the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, put in place by the Obama-Biden administration to help the U.S. recover from the last big recession. The ARRA included significant "Buy America" provisions that created barriers for Canadian firms. In early 2010, Canada obtained an exemption from Buy American rules, but only after an intensive effort to convince the Obama administration that those rules were detrimental to our interconnected economies.
Another Biden goal, encouraging the reshoring of private-industry supply chains, will be hard to accomplish quickly. To be sure, the pace of globalization was already slowing pre-Covid, but problems sourcing medical PPE early in the pandemic underscored how difficult it is for supply chains to adjust to a major shock. Decades of increasing global trade flows have left highly integrated cross-border supply chains that would be time-consuming and expensive to disentangle, and that is especially true across the U.S.-Canadian industrial sectors.
Narrowing Canada's immigration advantage
The Trump administration's immigration policies were perceived as giving an edge to Canada in attracting skilled immigrants from some regions. A Biden administration would increase competition for global talent, and come just as Canada has set ambitious immigration targets for the next three years to make up for a dramatic Covid-related falloff this year. The Biden campaign has pledged to lift the temporary suspension of H-1B visas, which are used extensively by the tech sector. It also aims to enable certain regions to petition for additional immigration visas – similar to the Canadian provincial nominee program. PhD students in STEM programs would be exempted from visa limits and given automatic green cards. The extent to which the Biden administration will be able to enact changes in immigration policy will depend on which party controls the Senate. But it's clear the Biden administration will be more open to immigration, creating a more competitive environment for Canada.
The return of some predictability in international trade policy
Control of Congress is still important to the President's ability to implement a trade agenda, although the Trump administration demonstrated that significant measures can be implemented by unilateral presidential action. We expect President-elect Biden to follow a more traditional path to enacting trade policy. That doesn't mean trade tensions will disappear. Tariffs on Chinese imports are likely to remain, although the odds of further constructive negotiation will be higher than under the Trump presidency. For Canada, a positive campaign message from the Biden camp was the pledge to avoid picking fights with allies. The U.S. is also expected be more of a constructive participant in multilateral forums like the WTO. All signs point to Canadian exporters being able to operate against a more predictable international trade backdrop.
Wary Alberta eyes fate of Keystone XL
A Biden administration has pledged to re-enter the Paris climate agreement and take a more aggressive role in policies to curb greenhouse gas emissions. As part of his environmental plan, Biden has pledged to revoke permits for the U.S. portion of the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline project. But the overall outlook for oil production looks a lot different than it did a few years ago, when President Trump approved the project. Canadian oil & gas investment has never recovered from the 2015 oil-price collapse, and was running 80% below 2014 levels as of Q2 2020. The Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project (now owned by the federal government) and Enbridge's Line 3 expansion are both moving ahead. Although all three pipelines are probably not needed in the near-term, further delays in building pipeline capacity would be yet another disappointment for Alberta – particularly given the provincial government's significant financial stake in the Keystone XL. Biden has also signaled he will seek to re-enter the Iran nuclear deal, which could marginally lower the price of oil. But he's likely to take a more hawkish regulatory approach to U.S. domestic oil & gas production, which at the margin could improve the relative attractiveness of investment in the Canadian energy sector.
Awaiting Senate clarity to determine outlook for stimulus, taxes
A Biden administration's ability to impose tax-and-spend policy will depend on who controls Congress. If the Republicans ultimately end up holding the Senate, it would clearly limit the ability of a Biden administration to push through a promised partial reversal of President Trump's corporate tax rate cut – to 28% from 21% — and to boost taxes on those earning more than US$400,000 per year.
A Republican Senate is also likely to fall out of love with deficits and debt once in opposition. That will likely constrain the size of fiscal stimulus.

Well, the Reds limped into the All Star Break, and hopefully Walt is spending his time thinking of ways to improve the team. Two other Reds affiliates, Louisville and Carolina, also hit their ASBs after today, so it's going to be a light week in baseball all around. Luckily those two teams had better weekends than their parent club. So heading into the symbolic "second half" of the season, which prospects are setting themselves up well for a strong finish, and which are floundering a bit?
Yonder Alonso
Many were skeptical about his real power potential after the wrist injury a year ago, and while the return of his power is still not a sure thing, the last 2 weeks have done a lot to appease the critics. In his last 10 games Alonso is hitting .400/.442/.725 with 3 homers and 3 stolen bases to boot. He also impressed scouts in batting practice at the futures game on Sunday. Whether he ever wears a Reds uniform is still highly questionable, but at the very least Alonso is strengthening his trade value as the centerpiece of the Hanley Ramirez trade.
Donnie Joseph
You heard the expression "what goes up must come down"? DoJo laughs at your trivial little truisms. He just keeps on rising and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. In his last 10 games he's thrown 11 innings, striking out 19, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. He now has 43.1 IP on the season with 76 strikeouts and 13 walks. The balls that do reach the field of play are mostly grounders, so his piddly 1 homer allowed isn't a fluke either. I haven't followed prospects for that long, but those are some of the most dominating numbers I've ever seen from a pitcher.
Zack Cozart
I think we all realize two things about our current Reds shortstop: He won't be replaced this season, but he likely won't be around next season either. That leaves us with the question of whether The Coz can be a viable option, or if he'll be just another Paul Janish. He's had his struggles at the plate, but lately he's turned it up a notch, OPSing .867 with 7 walks in his last 10 games. He'll never be a world beater offensively, but he walks a fair bit, has 12 homers so far this year, and plays great defense. I'm pretty sure he could outplay Cabrera right now, but we'll probably have to wait until September or next spring training to find out.
Juan Duran
Daniel Ray Herrera
It's bad enough that he got demoted and the guy who replaced him is pitching well. To add to the misery, Lefty Smurf has continued his tendency to be very hittable, allowing 2 homers and 4 ER in just 7.1 innings in AAA. He could still be effective, but it looks like the slow-pitch gimmick has worn off a bit, and he needs to adjust.
Brad Boxberger
Boxy got moved to AA and to the bullpen in the last 2 weeks, seemingly to limit his innings on the season. The problem is he hasn't adjusted very well, giving up 9 runs on 11 hits and 8 walks in just 6.1 innings out of the Carolina pen. I feel confident he'll make the adjustment, but it would be a shame for his strong first half to be forgotten because of a terrible second half.
Continue after the jump for the recap of a busy weekend!
- Louisville won on Friday night 3-0 behind Edinson Volquez's last rehab start. He threw 7 innings, allowing just 1 run and 3 walks while striking out 9. I'll go on record as saying he'll have some hiccups for the Reds, but still, it's going to be great to have him back. Drew Sutton was 2-3 with a double, and Chris Valaika was 1-3 with just his 2nd homer of the year. Saturday saw the Bats win 4-2. Enerio Del Rosario, Jared Burton, Aroldis Chapman, and Danniel Ray Herrera combined for 3.2 scoreless innings from the 'pen. Zack Cozart was 2-3 with a double and a walk, Todd Frazier was 2-4, and Wlad Balentien hit his 12 homer of the season. Sunday the Bats lost 7-5 in 10 innings. The bullpen blew this one, as former Reds relievers Herrera, Carlos Fisher, and Enerio Del Rosario combined to allow 4 runs over the final 3 innings. Wladimir Balentien was 2-4, Daniel Dorn was 1-3 with a walk and his 6th homer, and Zack Cozart hit his 12th homer of the season. Up Next: Louisville starts their ASB tomorrow as well. They will resume play on Thursday.
- Carolina won on Friday 3-1 behind a dominant start from Scott Carroll. Carroll pitched 8 innings, allowing 1 run and striking out 7. Devin Mesoraco was 2-3 with a double, and Dave Sappelt was 1-3 and drove in all 3 runs. Saturday the Mudcats won 9-1. Denis Phipps was 2-4 with a triple and walk, Dave Sappelt was 3-4 with a double and walk, Jake Kahaulelio was 2-5 with his 8th homer, and Devin Mesoraco was 1-4 with a double and a walk. Sunday Carolina was off. Up Next: They are on their ASB as well and will play again Wednesday.
- Lynchburg lost on Friday, 5-0. Not much of note in this one, except Jordan Hotchkiss did last 7.2 innings, allowing 3 runs and striking out 4. Saturday the 'Cats won 4-0. Felix Perez was 2-3 with a triple, and Cody Puckett was 2-4 with a double. Sunday the team won 5-4. Jeff Jeffords and Justin Freeman combined for 3.1 scoreless innings of relief, and Donnie Joseph struck out the side in the 9th (plus a walk) for his 13th save on the year. Josh Fellhauer was 2-5, and Neftali Soto and Felix Perez each hit doubles. Up Next: Lance Janke starts at 7:00.
- Dayton won Friday 6-0. This was a team effort pitching wise, as 4 pitchers combined for the shutout and none threw more than 3.1 innings. Ryan LaMarre went 2-4 with a double, Cameron Satterwhite went 3-4 with a double, and Alex Oliveras hit a grand slam. Saturday Dayton lost 4-2, despite a strong start from Tim Crabbe. The Crabbe-Man threw 6.1 innings of 1 run baseball, but the 'pen ruined it for him. DiDi Gregorius was 2-3with a walk, and Tommy Nurre was 2-4. Sunday Dayton lost 3-1. JC Sulbaran had one of his better starts, lasting 6 innings, giving up 2 ER on 6 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 7. Alex Oliveras provided the offense, hitting his 3rd homer of the season. Up Next: Jacob Johnson starts at 7:00
- Billings won 10-2 on Friday behind a strong start from Clayton Shunick. Shunick allowed 1 run in 6.2 innings while striking out 4. Jonathan Kaskow was 3-5 with a triple, Devin Lohman was 2-3 with 2 doubles, Billy Hamilton was 2-4 with a double and walk, and there were a bunch of other guys with hits. Saturday Billings won 5-4 in 11 innings. Tyler Cline allowed 1 run in 5 innings, and threw 3 shutout innings, striking out 4. Billy Hamilton was 2-4 with a walk, and Jefry Sierra was 1-3 with a walk. Sunday Billings won 9-4. Daniel Wolford, Blaine Howell, and Porfirio Martinez combined for 6 shutout innings and 7 strikeouts from the 'pen. Juan Duran was 2-4 with a double. Up Next: Daniel Corcino should start at 7:05.
- AZL Reds won 1-0 behind a great start from Ismael Guillon. The 18 year old threw 6 shutout innings, striking out 6. The offense was provided by recent draftee David Vidal, who hit his first home run as a professional. Saturday the team was off. Sunday they lost 5-3. Jonathan Correa threw 5 innings, allowing 1 earned run, and Juan Silva went 2-4 with a double and home run. Up Next: Someone will start at 9:00.

Much like Little Past Little Rock, this is Carolyn Dawn Johnson's song about a woman who's leaving, and though her man doesn't know it yet, she's not coming back.
I love these kinds of songs. Maybe because I can't imagine ever having the guts to pack up your stuff and just go.

I am working on connecting Workforce Developer and Collector and I am trying to set up a specific field as a collector field. There are 3 fields that I can choose from, but none of them are what I am looking for. Are their stipulations to choosing a collector field?
UPDATE: I was able to get the field that I was interested in. I just had to make sure that the field was a text field. However, when I go to create a work order the work order ID does not populate even though the ID has been set up to correspond with the feature class field. Is there some reason why my workforce ID is not autopopulating?

6. Do I have to eat all organic?
Nope. I mean you can but your success doesn't hinge on that. Organic is an important topic, but it's not what this program is about. I'll be happy to talk you through it and help you make up your own mind though.
7. What kind of food will I be eating?
Honestly-regular old food like meats, fish, veggies, avocados, butter, cheese, nuts some fruits etc.
I will warn you: no 'diet' food is involved in this program. In fact-here's a sneak peak of a treat recipe that's completely part of the program (and yes these are delicious):

Best Life Insurance Life Insurance is the safest and the most secure way to protect your family or dependents against financial contingencies that may arise post the unfortunate event of your untimely demise.
Under a Life Insurance Contract in India, the insurer assures to pay a definite sum to the policyholder's family on his demise during the policy term.
Best Plans Ben A life insurance policy is an agreement between an insurance company & a policyholder that offers financial coverage under which the insurance company guarantees to pay a certain amount to the nominated beneficiary in the unfortunate event of the insured person's demise during the term of life insurance plans.
In exchange, the policyholder agrees to pay a predefined sum of money in the form of premiums either on a regular basis or as a lump sum. If included in the contract, some
other contingencies, such as a critical illness or a terminal illness can also trigger the payment of benefits.
If defined in the contract, some other things, such as funeral expenses might also be a part of the benefits. I mentioned in the contract, a policy may also cover some other costs like funeral expenses as a part of benefits. Except for the death benefits, a life insurance plan also provides maturity benefits.
Except for the death benefits, a life insurance plan also provides maturity benefits. These benefits are provided in the form of a payout if the insured survives the entire term of the policy.
Moreover, life insurance schemes also offer several tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The insurance company will determine the premium payment that has to be made by the policyholder to the company.

With just over a month left until the June 8 election, two candidates have dropped out of the crowded field for Portland's upcoming Charter Commission.
That still leaves 22 candidates: 10 people competing for four at-large seats, and 12 competing for seats representing the city's five districts. The City Council has already appointed three other members, for a total of 12 commissioners.
District 2 candidate Em Burnett and at-large candidate Hope Rovelto are the two who have withdrawn. Burnett's decision leaves Robert O'Brien, who also served on the city's last Charter Commission, as the only candidate in District 2.
Burnett announced the decision in an essay on Substack that said their partner purchased a home outside the city "much faster than either of us anticipated" and they will be moving out of Portland. Burnett also cited exhaustion, a new job, and the recent death of their grandmother as reasons for withdrawing.
Burnett said they are supporting a slate of first-time, female candidates that includes Shamika (Shay) Stewart-Bouley in District 1, and at-large hopefuls Nasreen Sheikh-Yousef, Patricia Washburn, and Catherine Buxton.
Rovelto said she dropped out to focus on her business, Little Chair Printing.
"I am a sole owner and operator of a small business, I thought that maybe I could give the charter my time, but I reached a maxed point of understanding I could not give it 100 percent and run a small business," Rovelto said.
Rovelto will host an information session and drag show in Congress Square Park at 3 p.m. on May 21. She said she wants to continue to do her part to educate people about the importance of the Charter Commission.

Q: When was the last triple play in baseball? Marc from Texas
A: Believe it or not Marc, there were 4 triple plays this baseball season! The last one was August 23rd when the Philadelphia Phillies completed a triple play to beat the New York Mets 9-7. What a cool way to end a game!
Q: What is a turkey in bowling? Pete from Missouri
A: Believe it or not Pete, I bowled a turkey once! A turkey is when you bowl a strike three times in a row. The name was given over a hundred years ago, when the owner of a bowling alley gave away a live turkey during the holidays to the first person that could score three consecutive strikes.
Q: What position does David Beckham play? Adan from Texas
A: Always great to get a soccer question Adan! Soccer star David Beckham is a midfielder for the LA Galaxy. He has played both center and right midfielder in his career. Before coming to the US, he played for Real Madrid and Manchester United in Europe. Midfielders play both sides of the ball, meaning they play both offense and defense. Players like Beckham work hard to stay in great shape so they can react to any situation on the field.
Q: Who has hit a golf ball the farthest in a tournament? Emily from Florida
A: Well Becca, it's not Tiger Woods, like you may have guessed. In 1974, professional golfer Mike Austin hit a ball an amazing 515 yards at the US Nationals Senior Open Championship. That's over five football fields! The shot actually went way over the green!
Q: Can you score a field goal with a kick-off? Sally from New York
A: Wow, Sally that would be a pretty cool sight to see. But even if the kicker was able to kick the ball 70 yards and make it through the uprights, NFL rules do not allow a field goal to be scored on a kickoff. If the kickoff sails through the end zone, the receiving teams gets what's known as a "touchback," and start with the ball on their own 20-yard line.
Q: How many basketball players are on a NBA team? Carrington from Florida
A: Great question, Carrington. NBA teams can have a maximum of 15 players, but only 12 can be in uniform for any one game. And of course, there can only be 5 players from each team on the court at a time!
Q: When was the first night game in the NFL? Stan from Illinois
A: This is a fun story, Stan. In 1929 the Providence Steam Rollers, who only played in the NFL for seven seasons, had a game against the Chicago Cardinals. The game was cancelled due to wet field conditions, so they rescheduled to another field where floodlights had just been installed. The game was played at night and the ball was painted white just so the players could see it! The Cardinals wound up winning the game 16-0.

Development and Testing of High Resolution Target Monitor
Complete View Report: PDF
Sequential Number
Matching Research Agency
University of Missouri, Research Board
Principal Investigator
Student Involvement
It is anticipated that one graduate student will work full time on this project. The student will be a Ph.D. candidate from department of Mining Engineering and his primary task will be conducting of laboratory and field testing of the instrument. In addition to work performed by the Mining Engineering student the project will require assistantship of Electrical or Computing Engineering Student who will help with the development of software and electronics of the instrument.
Project Objectives
The objective of this research project is to develop and conduct laboratory and field evaluation of HRTMM which can remotely measure ground deformations with sub-millimeter accuracy. The monitor will be based on unique technology for the measurement of positional changes in targets located at any distance which is being developed at the University of Missouri-Rolla. This system has the potential to yield extremely high accuracy for the detection and monitoring of positional changes (as small as 0.125mm with the current laboratory implementation) presented by many types of targets located close by or very distant from the monitor.
Project Abstract
The proposed High-resolution Target Movement Monitor uses triangulation theory but in a unique way. Unlike the commercially available triangulation systems which use sensing diodes to perceive reflected laser signatures and are limited to very short distances, the proposed system uses lasers and image analyzing software to detect distance change between camera and the monitored surface. This proposed image analyzing technique removes the need to use the linear photodiodes that only measure laser spot light intensity and are limited in their receptiveness. Target measurements made through air (gaseous) and other transparent media may be analyzed. The main advantage of this system over the commercially available systems is its accuracy and low cost which makes this system attractive for monitoring mining and civil engineering structures. The accuracy and range of this system depend upon the resolution and the focal length of the camera that is used. The HRTMM system underwent some preliminary lab testing which showed very promising results. The investigators seek funds to evaluate this system at underground tunnels to asses the impact of elements such as dust, vibration and lighting on the performance of HRTMM.
Anticipated Benefits
The ground failure in mining and civil engineering structures not only impacts the safety of people but also has a direct economic impact on the companies through the loss of equipment, loss of valuable mineral ore and cleanup costs. The ability of this system to remotely measure ground movement with sub-millimeter accuracy will allow for monitoring the ground movement in areas of high traffic or which are inaccessible for installation of traditional ground movement sensing devices. The high resolution ground movement monitoring system will allow for a better understanding of ground failure mechanisms and provide an advance sensing tool for geotechnical monitoring. Other applications where this system can be used include r emote measurement of movement and/or deformational changes occurring in numerous types of targets, for example, open pit mines, road embankments, underground tunnels and mine excavations, nuclear repositories, buildings, bridges, satellites, water level, deformation of tanks containing pressurized liquefied gas, undersea structures, volcanoes, etc.
Modal Orientation
Monitoring and measurement of ground movement along road embankments, underground tunnels, monitoring of deformations on structures such as bridges or buildings.
Relationship to other Research/Projects
Co-PI with 30% project share on the development of Virtual Reality Roof bolting Program sponsored by NIOSH. This is 5 year program with $750k budget.

Are you crazy about grilling? Do you like the fun of cooking steaks in an out-door setting? If this is you, then we something in common with each other! It's not just the different grilling recipes and marinades that I like most about grilling; it's also the aspect of cooking outside where in you can move around and make a mess without getting yelled at. If you have not tried grilling, you should, it's a lot of fun and the food is delicious! Here are a few tips to help you get started if you haven't grilled before.
First off, the secret of all great food in the preparation and grilling steaks is no different. Before you get ready to grill, marinade your steaks for at least a few hours. I like to marinade my steaks overnight for the best flavor and tenderizing. Keep the meat refrigerated until you are ready to put it on the grill. I also recommend cutting some small slices in the steaks to be sure the marinade gets all through the meat. Then rub some spices on the meat before you put it on the grill.
You also want to prepare your grill by rubbing it down with oil before you grill so that the meat doesn't stick to it. This is especially true for grilling fish, chicken, or burgers.
If you are cooking steaks you want the grill to be super hot so that you sear the steak on both sides to lock in the juices, then keep flipping your steaks a couple of times until they are done. Everybody has different tastes but in my opinion, a good steak is cooked to medium at most. You can also pour the marinade over the meat while you are cooking. Use thongs or a spatula so that you don't poke holes in the meat that will cause the juices to drain out.
If you are cooking with charcoals you should light the coals at least 30 minutes prior so that they have time to get hot enough. My preference is using a gas grill, you will get better results and the temperature is easier to adjust as well. You can buy the propane tanks at convenience stores all over and it last for many cookouts. You get a good quality gas grill for less than two hundred dollars.
Grilling is a fun thing to do; it's a good way to get family and friends together. If you want you can even let other people help out with the grilling, since there is enough room for anyone who wants to.

By JOHN T. WARD
Hoping to turn frustration into gold, two women from the Greater Red Bank Green have taken on the challenge of helping parents identify the best available extracurricular programs for their children.
Think of their online service, called Kidgooroo, as a kind of Yelp for harried moms and dads.
A screen grab of listings on Kidgooroo. (Click to enlarge.)
Kidgooroo began taking shape as an idea a year ago, when Rumson resident Alex Skove went looking for non-school lacrosse programs for each of her four children, now aged 9 to 14 years old.
The process was "very frustrating," she said. Not only were online listings for lacrosse mixed in with results for other sports; there were no authentic voices by which to begin screening them.
"What parents used to do was call each other,"said Skove, 43. But that feedback is "tainted" by each child and parents own experience," she said. "You're not getting the aggregate feel."
What was needed, she said, was a centralized source with a sampling of opinions, along the lines of Yelp or TripAdvisor. On those sites, "you can tell whose opinion you can trust."
In the absence of that kind of feedback, answering a question like 'who can teach my kid to play drums?' or 'who's the best local math tutor?' "actually takes a lot of legwork," said Skove.
Skove had worked in investment banking and helped several start-ups find their footing, so she decided to create an online solution. She reached out to a friend of a dozen years, Cathy Goldin of Fair Haven, to explore the possibility of a partnership.
Goldin, 51, is a Madison Avenue veteran as a creative director, and was running a marketing firm here in addition to mothering three kids, aged 14 to 10. She was onboard with the idea immediately. A third partner, Alden Miles, is is San Francisco.
After a year of development and beta testing, Kidgooroo launched in September with 2,500 listings and a still-growing roster of activities ranging from cello to stand-up paddleboarding and reviews. The site is free to both businesses and consumers, and expects to make its money on advertising.
Listings include clubs, leagues, individual instructors, as well as established institutions such as Red Bank's Two River Theater. Reviewers can suggest new categories, as someone interest in bagpipes did recently, said Skove.
While reviews can be displayed under pseudonyms, they can only be posted from true and verifiable account identities, which Skove and Goldin said is important for weeding out those solely meant to puff up or tear down a business. The site offers guidelines for constructive feedback but "we don't believe in censorship," said Goldin.
Red Bank-based Kathryn Leigh Music, which provides in-home instruction, is the subject of eight reviews, all of them enthusiastic, by posters using names like "NormalMom" and "CTH288."
To get Kidgooroo rolling, Skove and Goldin have are using school fundraisers as a foundation for building their review archive, starting with Fair Haven. They make a $1 donation to the school for each review by a parent whose child attends the school.
"It behooves the schools to get kids involved" in extracurricular activities, which are associated with improved classroom performance, said Goldin.
The aim is to "grow it out town by town, school by school" until the site is national in scope. Skove said Kidgooroo expects to cover four states by early in 2017.
In the process, the site fosters a community founded on a sense that "we're here to help each other," said Cathy.
Rumson resident Lori Quigley told redbankgreen she turned to the site when her middle-school daughter picked up field hockey.
"It was a new world for us," she said. "She wanted to play outside of school, but we didn't know where to begin." Quigley said she "spent hours asking friends and acquaintances about programs, taking photos of flyers on bulletin boards and emailing coaches."
Though she's friends with Skove, Quigley said she thought that "there was no way these guys could have captured all this disconnected, random information. But, sure enough, I plugged in my zip code and saw all of my research and then some, with program philosophies, contact numbers and reviews."
Goldin said she used it to find ukulele lessons for her son, and "saved myself a week's worth" of scattershot web searches and phones calls, she said.

What causes "memory loss?"
We often come across situations in life, when small bits of information, which come "at the tip of the tongue" but we can not recall it. Like the name of a person who we met a year back, the location of a restaurant, the name of a movie or where we kept our car keys. These things are considered perfectly normal, because it is natural for the brain not to be able to store such an information overload. However, when this forgetfulness or loss of memory, starts affecting our daily lives then we have a big problem in our hands. This kind of memory loss needs medical intervention.
Factors Causes Memory Loss
There are many factors that are associated to cause memory loss. Listed below are some of the most common causes:
One of the most common causes for memory loss is aging. Even at 20, a person starts losing brain cells, but at a very slow rate. As we age, the body reduces the production of certain chemicals which are needed for the brain cells to work. This means that there starts a deficiency of neurotransmitters, which are also the brain's inbuilt messengers. The older we get, faster the process of this degeneration. In fact, 10% of all people above 70 suffer from memory loss problems.
Alzheimer's Disease
Other than aging, Alzheimer 's disease is another major cause of loss of memory. While the reason behind it still remains unknown, Alzeiher's causes one of the most serious memory dysfunctions known to man. It is a form of dementia which advances rapidly and affects all functions related to the intellect, including memory retention. In America alone, around 4 million have fallen victims to the dreaded disease. In fact 50% of all those who suffer from memory loss are Alzheimer's victims. More information is covered on this dreaded disease in an upcoming chapter.
Head Injury
By definition, a head injury is any trauma which leads to the injury of the skull, brain or scalp. This includes even minor injuries such as a bump in the head bump as well as major brain injuries. Severe head injuries can result in memory loss. Annually, approximately 2 million people suffer from head injuries. Prompt first aid treatments normally improve the chances of survival and also keeping his memory intact.
By definition, a seizure is a violent, involuntary and uncontrollable muscle contraction. Sometimes, seizures can cause blanking out all of a sudden.
Medical Conditions
Some medical conditions such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias and heart failure can also lead to memory loss. Whenever there is reduction of blood flow in the brain, it causes many problems, and can prove to have detrimental effect on the brain.
Failures of kidney and liver failures are also linked to memory loss. These conditions increase the concentration of toxins in the blood.
Memory loss is also caused by malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies .Alcoholism is also considered to be a major cause. This is referred to as the Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome.
The "pill popper" or the person who takes too many medications may suffer from memory loss. Overdosing usually leads to a changed state of mind and confusion.
Maintaining Memory
So what can be done to keep one's memory intact and functioning well? It begins with living a healthy lifestyle and keeping the body fit. The brain craves to learn new things and face newer challenges. That is why doing new things, and getting busy with newer activities keep the brain sharp and agile. Avoiding stressful living and indulging in relaxing and enjoyable pursuits greatly invigorate the brain.
We must appreciate the problems in case of memory loss. Our efficiency level and sharpness of the mind is subject of wear and tear of age and we hardly know what the future holds for us. Take care of the organ which lets you live the way you want to. And memories are all that we have to go by. Keep it functioning and healthy.

Pharmacies to offer covid vaccinations from late summer
Pharmacies will be able to start administering coronavirus vaccinations from the end of summer.
Martin Aadamsoo, communications manager of Magnum AS, the owner of the Apotheka pharmacies, said a decision-in-principle exists and preparations are underway to launch it.
He said that there are about 50 pharmacies in Estonia that have the facilities to carry out coronavirus vaccinations. However, nurses and doctors are needed as pharmacists do not have the right to carry out vaccinations.
"It's the only right decision because we're stuck with vaccinations. It's just a pity it came so late," said Adamsoo.
He said preparations are expected to be completed within a month or at least by the end of the summer.
In the past, the government has been reluctant to ask pharmacists to provide coronavirus vaccinations but it will not do so to speed up the process. In early July, the Ministry of Social Affairs sent a letter to the Pharmacists' Association asking how many pharmacies could participate.

Uzbekistan authorities have identified the jet-setting eldest daughter of president Islam Karimov as a suspect in a case of extortion, blackmail and corruption, a move that could neutralize her as a future political threat.
Gulnara Karimova—who has performed as "Googoosha" in music videos, presented her "Guli" jewelry in New York and hobnobbed with Hollywood celebrities—was named today in a loosely written news release (Russian) about a $194 million criminal case under prosecution in the Central Asian republic. Her name could not have been included in the release without the assent, and probably the active role, of her father, who has been one of the most brutal leaders in the world since taking power more than two decades ago.
The statement alleges that two men linked to Karimova pilfered tens of millions of dollars from the Uzbekistan arm of Coca-Cola, an oil refinery in Fergana and elsewhere. After describing the charges in detail, the statement says that the "criminal group" includes other individuals about whom authorities are still collecting evidence. Among the members of this group are Karimova, who has lived under house arrest in the capital of Tashkent since February. She has been incommunicado but managed to sneak out statements to the media.
Quite apart from the details of the murky case, the 42-year-old Karimova, a striking Harvard graduate, has infuriated her father in part for a series of tweets last year in which she aired a family dispute, according to her 22-year-old son, Islam Karimov Jr. President Karimov is also angry over a Swiss money-laundering case against his daughter and an additional corruption case involving Sweden's TeliaSonera, her UK-based son told the Guardian. In sum, Karimov felt his daughter was tarnishing the family name.
But there also is the matter of Uzbekistan's political future. Karimov is 76 years old and has not publicly made clear who will succeed him as president. One thing almost certain is that the successor will not be chosen democratically. His daughter once appeared to harbor political ambitions. But she is said to be despised by some important clan leaders in the country, and dismissed as a lightweight by others. Given her father's own unhappiness with her behavior in recent years, he may be seeking to sideline her so that she does not create mischief during the succession.

Which drone should I buy? Best drones
Looking for a new drone? We would like to help you one step further in your search. Earlier, we wrote about what to look out for when buying a new drone. With these tips, you can start comparing drones. In this blog, we give our opinion on the best drones. We have been flying different drones ourselves for more than 10 years. We would love to tell you more about our favourite drones of 2023.
Why choose DJI?
There are many different brands, which develop drones. Over the years, we have tried different brands of drones. From toy drones to professional drones. Prices of drones can vary a lot. This has to do with the quality and software of the drone.
DJI develops drones of good quality. DJI drones are stable, user-friendly, have a good camera and the latest software. Our advice is to invest a bit more in a drone so you can enjoy it for longer. Thankfully, DJI also has drones that are budget-friendly.
These are our favourite drones at the beginning of 2023:
DJI Avata
If you are looking for freedom and speed, an FPV drone is a good option. An FPV drone is controlled with live action goggles. You look through the drone's camera with these goggles. This is called First Person View (FPV). FPV drones can reach high speeds and are more manoeuvrable than camera drones.
DJI Avata is a ready-to-fly FPV drone developed by DJI. You control the DJI Avata with an included motion controller or buy a standard controller with it. Controlling through these controllers is easy to learn. DJI Avata has different flight modes, from beginner to advanced. In beginner flight mode, the obstacle sensors are on and the flight speed is limited. The aircraft's propellers are protected by the frame.
Due to its small size, the DJI Avata is manoeuvrable and the drone can fly anywhere in between. If you do find yourself in a difficult situation, the DJI Avata has an emergency brake and hover function. This allows you to switch very quickly to GPS mode, in which you fly most easily. These features make the DJI Avata ideal for starters.
The camera of the DJI Avata is stabilised using HorizonSteady technology. The camera can record images in 4K/60pfs or 1080p HD/120fps. The DJI Avata has a flight time of about 18 minutes per battery.
DJI develops drones of good quality. DJI drones are stable, user-friendly, have a good camera and the latest software. Our advice is to invest a bit more in a drone so you can enjoy it for longer. Thankfully, DJI also has drones that are budget-friendly.
DJI Mini 3
If you are looking for a drone that is friendly priced, you will quickly end up with the DJI Mini 3. With its small size and light weight, this drone is perfect for travelling. The device weighs just 248 grams.
DJI has significantly improved the Mini 3 compared to the Mini 2. Mainly the camera. The DJI Mini 3 can record in 4K/30fps and shoot in 12 Mega Pixels. The DJI Mini 3 can also shoot and record vertically. The camera features a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor and a fixed aperture f/1.7.
The only major drawback to the DJI Mini 3 is that this drone has no obstacle sensors. Obstacle sensors ensures that the drone avoids objects and prevents crashes. If you are a novice pilot, then obstacle sensors are a must. DJI has a Pro version of the DJI Mini 3 available. The DJI Mini 3 Pro does have obstacle sensors on it. If you already have the necessary flying experience and want to save some money, opt for the DJI Mini 3.
The DJI Mini 3 is a camera drone, which can be controlled with a smart controller or a smartphone controller. The DJI Mini 3 is a good drone for the recreational flyer. It is stable, has a decent camera and is user-friendly.
DJI Mavic 3 Classic
The DJI Mavic 3 Classic is known for its flying features. The drone features two forward-facing obstacle sensors: two oblique upward-facing obstacle sensors and two backward-facing sensors. This allows the drone to automatically avoid obstacles, even at high flying speeds.
DJI also comes with a new flying feature, namely master shots. The drone itself calculates the best route to perform a particular camera move. This is a handy way for novice pilots to automatically capture beautiful drone images.
The flight time of this drone is over 45 minutes thanks to the upgraded batteries. Being unable to take images due to flat batteries is therefore a thing of the past. The controller features a Return to Home (RTH) button. DJI has updated this function. Instead of taking off for a bit and flying in a straight line to the take-off zone, the aircraft itself chooses the most efficient path. With this, DJI hopes to prevent crashes caused by a dead battery on the way.
The DJI Mavic 3 Classic features the latest version 360-degree obstacle detection. The sensors work in both normal flight mode and sport mode. The updated APAS 5.0 allows the drone to effortlessly steer through complex environments. The device, since the latest firmware update, features a new version of ActiveTrack, namely ActiveTrack 5.0. This feature ensures that the drone continues to track an object even during backward or sideways flight. The DJI Mavic 3 Classic can detect the object when it disappears from view.
The DJI Mavic 3 Classic is a drone that can record and photograph in high quality. Are you looking for a drone for (semi-)professional photography and videography? Then this device is very attractive to consider.
DJI Mavic 3 Cine
The DJI Mavic 3 Cine is distinguished from the DJI Mavic 3 Classic by its dual camera and Apple ProRes 422 HQ Codec technology. The DJI Mavic 3 Cine features a brand new Hasselblad L2D-20c camera with micro four thirds (MFT) sensor. The second camera features a telephoto lens. In the DJI Fly app, the pilot can switch between the two cameras.
The lower camera features a maximum film resolution concerns 5.1K at 50 fps. In 4K, the maximum frame rate is 120 fps. The aperture is adjustable from f/11 to f/2.8 and the angle of view is 84º. The larger sensor improves light sensitivity and dynamic range. The top camera features a 162 mm telephoto lens with a 15º angle of view and 28x hybrid zoom.
The DJI Mavic 3 Cine uses Apple ProRes 422 HQ Codec. This is the industry standard for high-quality recording, and it is one of the best HD formats. Because Apple ProRes ensures large files, the drone is equipped with 1 TB of memory. Should this be insufficient, a microSD card can also be inserted for additional storage capacity.
The Mavic 3 Cine comes with a smart controller. This eliminates the need to connect a smartphone. The controller features the latest version of the RTH button. Furthermore, the DJI Mavic 3 Cine features 360-degree obstacle detection, APAS 5.0 and Active Track 5.0.

Putting the stack back into Stacked Borrows
Less than a month ago, I announced Stacked Borrows 2. In particular, I hoped that that version would bring us closer to proper support for two-phase borrows. Turns out I was a bit too optimistic! Last week, @Manishearth asked on Zulip why Miri rejected a certain program, and it turned out that the issue was related to two-phase borrows: in combination with interior mutability, behavior wasn't always what we wanted it to be. So, I went back to the drawing board and tried to adjust Stacked Borrows.
In the end, I decided to give up on "proper" support for two-phase borrows for now, which I explained here. But I also made some tweaks to Stacked Borrows that affect all accesses (not just two-phase borrows), and that's what this post is about. I am referring to this as "Stacked Borrows 2.1".
Stacked Borrows: Table of Contents
Before we start, here's a list of all posts about Stacked Borrows so far. I am assigning them each a version number to hopefully make it a bit less confusing (I did not exactly foresee an entire series of posts on this subject).
- Stacked Borrows 0.1 is my initial idea of what Stacked Borrows might look like before I started implementing it. This post is interesting for some of the historical context it gives, but is largely superseded by the next post.
- Stacked Borrows 1.0 is the first version that got implemented. This post is self-contained; I was not happy with some of my explanations in the original post so I decided to give it another shot.
- Stacked Borrows 1.1 extends Stacked Borrows 1 with partial support for two-phase borrows and explains the idea of "barriers".
- Stacked Borrows 2.0 is a re-design of Stacked Borrows 1 that maintains the original core ideas, but changes the mechanism to support more precise tracking of shared references. In the following, I will assume you have read at least this post.
Is there a stack?
As I explained the last time, there's not really a "stack" any more in Stacked Borrows. I showed a widely-used pattern that would be ruled out by a strict stack discipline, and at least the basic optimizations that motivated Stacked Borrows are fine with this weaker model. But one thing that I realized is that that pattern just shows that read accesses cannot strictly maintain a stack. So maybe write accesses could?
And indeed, that's one of the things that changed with Stacked Borrows 2.1: on a write access, instead of removing just the incompatible items above the granting item, we remove everything above (and including) the first incompatible item above the granting item. Or, if we inline the definition of "compatible":
- When writing to a
Uniqueitem, we remove everything above (this is unchanged to Stacked Borrows 2.0).
- When writing to a
SharedReadWrite, we keep the adjacent
SharedReadWriteabove it, but then remove everything above the first "other" item.
The last point is a change in behavior: the following code used to be legal, and is now UB.
(I am writing variable names in the stack to refer to those variable's tag.)
In stacked Borrows 2.0, the stack at the end would instead have been
[c: SharedReadWrite, inner_shr: SharedReadWrite], thus permitting the final access.
Let there be structure!
I am not deeply invested in allowing or forbidding that last example. However, this change has the nice side-effect that it gives rise to some structure in how the stack looks like and how it can be interpreted, and I think that is helpful when understanding Stacked Borrows.
Remember that the stack consists of items that grant
SharedReadWrite or
SharedReadOnly permission.
SharedReadOnly only occurs at the top of the stack (there can be multiple of these at the top, but there will never be another permission above a
For example, the stack might end in
[..., a: Unique, x: SharedReadOnly, y: SharedReadOnly].
x and
y are read-only shared references that are currently allowed to access this memory.
They are either derived from
a, or derived from another one of the read-only shared references.
(I am using the non-transitive version of "derived from" here, i.e., I am talking about the direct predecessor.)
Further down in the stack, if we have two neighboring
Unique, that says that the one further up the stack was "derived from" the one further down.
But what about
If we think of an
&mut UnsafeCell<T> (which will have a
Unique permission), then each time we create a shared reference from it, that will add a
SharedReadWrite above the
We might end up with
[..., a: Unique, x: SharedReadWrite, y: SharedReadWrite].
x and
y can all be used interchangeably: reading from or writing to any of these
SharedReadWrite references will not invalidate any of the others!
The way I think about it is that a bunch of adjacent
SharedReadWrite permissions together form one "block" on the stack.
Writing to the
Unique from which they all come (
a in our example) invalidates the entire block.
This is a lot like the "block" of
SharedReadOnly that may exist at the top of the stack.
Except that, from an
&UnsafeCell<T> with
SharedReadWrite permission, we can derive a
&mut T with
Unique permission!
So we might have a stack like
[..., a: Unique, x: SharedReadWrite, y: SharedReadWrite, b: Unique] where
b is derived from
x or
y (we don't know which, but that has no effect on what programs are allowed).
In case of nested
UnsafeCell, we might even have another (block of)
SharedReadWrite further up the stack!
So, in general, the stack looks as follows (starting at the bottom):
- First a "stem" consisting of a sequence of "blocks". A "block" in the stem is either a single
Uniquepermissions and or a bunch of consecutive
- Finally, optionally, a "cap" consisting of a "block" of consecutive
For all of these blocks, we have that each pointer in a block is derived either from a pointer in the next block down the stack, or another pointer in the same block.
In this framework, we can re-cast the new rule for write access as: when writing to a pointer in some block, remove all blocks further up the stack.
But what about reads?
However, it turns out that the old rule for read accesses wrecks havoc with this block-based intuition that I just described.
Remember that on a read, we removed all read-incompatible items above the granting item—which, when inlining the definition of "compatibility", means removing all
Unique above the granting item.
If this
Unique item sits between two (blocks of)
SharedReadWrite items, that has the unfortunate side-effect of merging these two blocks!
For example, prior to the read access, we might have had a stack like
[x: SharedReadWrite, a: Unique, y: SharedReadWrite]. In this situation, writing to
x would (under the new rules) invalidate
y because it is in a block further up the stack.
However, after reading from
x, the stack changes to
[x: SharedReadWrite, y: SharedReadWrite].
The two blocks got merged into one, and now
x and
y can be used interchangeably!
That seems like a strange effect.
Furthermore, this breaks the invariant that in a block of
SharedReadWrite, each pointer is derived from another pointer in the same block or in the next block down the stack:
y is derived from
a, not from
To fix this and make sure that the structure I described in the previous section actually holds, I changed read accesses to avoid merging two blocks of
Instead of just removing
Unique, we replace them by a
Disabled "permission" that grants no access, but just serves to separate two blocks.
With that, the stack in our example becomes
[x: SharedReadWrite, a: Disabled, y: SharedReadWrite].
This keeps the two (singleton) blocks of
SharedReadWrite apart, so even after reading from
x, a subsequent write to
x will still invalidate
That's it already. You can find a complete description (but without explanation) of Stacked Borrows 2.1 in the UCG repository.
I mostly wanted to talk about this structure of "blocks" that still looks very much like a stack, just a more refined version of what we had in Stacked Borrows 1.
Back then, such a block of
SharedReadWrite was basically represented by a single
Raw item, not differentiating which pointers are allowed to access the memory in this way.
Similarly, the block of
SharedReadOnly was represented by the "freeze" flag, which excluded some shared references but was still not very precise in encoding which pointers are allowed to read.
The key contribution of Stacked Borrows 2, then, was to refine these rather coarse notions and keep track exactly of which shared references are part of which block.
For the future, it will be interesting to figure out if we can track raw pointers the same way we are now tracking shared references with interior mutability, or if that will rule out too much existing code. I don't really have a timeline for this problem though, the next immediate steps involve writing a paper about Stacked Borrows and then writing a PhD thesis about… lots of stuff. ;)

Re-membering the Bones of Personal and Political Violence Across the American Continent
Speaker(s): Roberto Lovato
The Concerning Violence workshop invites you to our first event of the Winter Quarter. Join us for an engaging conversation with author Roberto Lovato about his recent memoir, Unforgetting: A Memoir of Family, Migration, Gangs, and Revolution in the Americas. He will also be discussing broader themes that tie to our workshop's focus this year on critical engaging with theories about racial capitalism as they affect various groups across the globe.
Roberto Lovato was born in San Francisco to Salvadoran immigrants who raised him in the City by the Bay's historic Mission District, home to the highest concentration of murals of any neighborhood in the world—and the reason his aesthetic is California urban not "tropical." Lovato is an educator, journalist and writer based at The Writers Grotto. He's also the author of Unforgetting: A Memoir of Family, Migration, Gangs and Revolution in the Americas (Harper Collins). A recipient of a reporting grant from the Pulitzer Center, Lovato has reported on the drug war, violence, terrorism in Mexico, Venezuela, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Haiti, France and the United States.
RSVP here to receive the Zoom link. A limited number of registrants will be able to pick up a copy of Roberto Lovato's memoir, Unforgetting: A Memoir of Family, Migration, Gangs, and Revolution in the Americas. (Stanford community only.)

What joy for us to have our kids home for Thanksgiving. There was much revelry, tasting of the last of the garden goodies, Michael's home brews, trying to pet scaredy cats, and of course, giving thanks to God for all our blessings. Hard to believe it's Advent already: To You I lift up my soul: in You, O my God, I trust... (Ps. 24:1) Come Lord Jesus!

Thoughts and Views from the Choir Loft
On Sunday, we had a beautiful High Mass for the Feast of Christ our King. It was just a little quartet up in the loft, yet I know angels come to assist us in our worship. I remember how it was this very feast day in 2010 when we attended our first High Mass. I was so moved by its beauty. It was truly worship fit for a King. When we had the opportunity to move to SC, the first thing we did was to check whether there'd be a traditional Latin Mass offered in the area. It was a deal breaker. We are so blessed to be here and singing the Missa de Angelis on this All Hallow's Eve. I pondered how the saints must be worshipping our Lord in Heaven with all the angels. People, this is what goes on in heaven and if you want to go to heaven when you die, go to Mass here on earth while you're alive! It's practice for the heavenly Jerusalem :)
Monday we celebrated All Saints Day with a low Mass at Stella Maris. Afterwards, we had dress rehearsal for Faure's Requiem Mass and it's always thrilling to have all the instrumentalists and guest singers who make us sound better than we actually are. It's a wonder our choir loft doesn't collapse! Our Altar too, can get crowded. I remember when Max used to serve, we'd sometimes have a dozen boys up there and their movements would have to be finely choreographed so as not to trip over each other. Our priest reads the names of the people who died in our community and this year, it was sad to hear how many died in Afghanistan. It is our faith that allows us to keep our sanity and not sink into despair during these dark times. Due to the pandemic, we now have regular live-streaming of Mass so that those who are homebound can join in, so I actually have a link to a recording. It's not St. Martin in the Fields but what a joy it is for us to sing this music. Every practice too, is a prayer.
I leave you with my favorite prayer to St. Joseph and pretty fall leaves:
