Here's the Man
January 31, 2012
The hardest thing about life especially after salvation is being okay with all the junk that just seems to come our way from time to time. We cover ourselves up with promises and feel good words and pats on the back and that is okay but until we just seem to come to a place of being okay with it we've not arrived yet. Try this on. Some of the stuff we go through is because God wants us to. It's not because we asked for it. It is not because we deserved it. It is not because we are being punished. It is because God wants us to. When we get upset because we don't understand, and it hurts, and we've never been treated this way it would be a whole lot easier to go through by accepting that it is just what God wants at this time. Remember this. Them that He foreknew He also predestined. That doesn't mean we are puppets. That means He has already gone before us and prepared the way. Once we accept that it will be a lot easier. He hasn't left us. He is ahead of us.
God's plan for us is good not evil. His plan is for prosperity not for ruin. He has prepared a hope and a future.

Here's the Man
Each of us have our own set of struggles. Each of us have our own set of difficulties. Simply put we each have our own cross to bear. Some days we pass through comfortably and others we may struggle desperately. There is a concept that if kept in mind might allow life and our journey through life to be more tolerable. Jesus said in this world we would find trials and tribulation but we are to be encouraged for He overcame this world. In the book "Here's the Man" we go through the life of Joseph and discuss the difference in the will of God and the plan of God and how God works out His will by executing His plan in and through us. Life changing concept!
A friend wrote these words:
"You cannot know Robert Jackson very long before you are aware of his passion for Jesus. It is this passion for Jesus that provides the desire that he feels for mentoring men to become all they can be for Jesus. The insights and passion that he shares in this book, HERE'S THE MAN — if read, believed, and practiced – will help you alter your present situation and prepare you for a great emotional and spiritual future."

I am very excited to announce the arrival of my newest book entitled Here's the Man. I am very excited about the possible impact on the lives of others that this work possesses. contact me and secure your copy today.
Here the words of a fellow colleague.
"No one wants to be viewed as a failure. You were created to dream and given gifts to make that dream happen. As God declares His will for our lives we begin to make a plan to achieve or reach for that will. However, unplanned disruptions seem to build roadblocks to that destiny or the fulfillment of our dream. Are they roadblocks? Are these disruptions keeping us from God's will? We begin to question have we really heard from God? Did we miss something in what I thought was God's plan for me?
In this book about Joseph, you will find principles that can help you to understand how God the Father moves from declaring His will to taking us unto the plan of fulfilling that will. The important insights and illumination in this book from God's Word can alter our mindset, keep us from fighting the plan God has for us, and alter the circumstances of your life and bring a change that will positively impact you and your family. You will be challenged and changed as you see how God finally declares to Egypt and the world "HERE'S THE MAN"!"

Where's the hope or encouragement come from?
October 13, 2011
Are you full of encouragement today? I hope you are. However there is a chance that you are not. I am not trying to suggest anything except that we for some reason are not overly full of joy or encouragement all the time. Some days are just not fun. Some days I have to look pretty hard for something to be happy or encouraged about. Some have that experience more than others.
As believers we believe and accept that the joy of the Lord is our strength. That indicates that the hope that drives us is our faith and belief in Christ Jesus. There are some basic things we accept that keep us going. Jesus said we were more than servants and that we were friends. God indicates that He will not leave us nor forsake us. The word declares to ask, seek, and knock so we can receive, find, and have doors opened before us. For our future we are told that if He went away to build a place for us, He would also return to receive us unto Himself.
The truth of the matter is that some do not know that hope. The world does not know that hope. Those outside of Christ have not that hope. The man let down through the roof to Christ came from a background of teaching that his condition was an indication of his future. He had no hope. When Jesus said your sins are forgiven it was a statement to give hope. For once in his life now he had a reason to live.
The purpose of the relationships we are involved in is give hope. It is through the influence we offer into the lives of others that God instills hope in them. It is imperative that we be intentionally involved in the lives of others to declare there is a reason to live for Christ. Jesus still saves. Jesus still forgives. Jesus still heals. Jesus still gives life and the world needs to know it. How we give ourselves to be encouragement in the lives of others will determine our success, growth, and the fulfillment of purpose in this life.

There is no time like now!!!
September 16, 2011
Even though life can be trying we have to consider ourselves fortunate and blessed to be able to live in this dispensation of time. We are living in a time like this world has never seen or experienced. The technologies of today make it as never before. Time has become instantaneous. We are made aware of almost everything that happens in the world the instant it happens. The unfortunate thing is that we get to view the bad as well as the good. It appears the wrong being done often outweighs the good. Still we are fortunate to be living in this time.
The opportunities we are allowed today are greatly enhanced because of the technologies of today. Advances in travel allow us to access remote areas. Advances in communication allow us to establish sustained contact with formerly unreachable areas and people groups. The ability to translate written transcripts into different languages opens the door for meaningful dialogue. The advancement in education makes it possible to achieve things never thought possible. Some may choose to be discouraged but there is no reason to be of that mindset. We just need to allow God to open our minds to the possibilities that exist and pray for the understanding to take advantage of them.
God is looking for someone who will get up, stay up, fess up, step up, and show up by growing up to become what He wants them to be. Now is the time to be involved.
Man_Up and be the man that God wants you to be.
We must be responsible and committed
September 15, 2011
If we are going to fulfill or succeed in our efforts for Christ we are going to have to be sold out to the responsibility of Church growth and committed to the fulfillment of maturity. Probably before we make those decisions there are some things we have to accept. We must accept we are here for a purpose. We must accept that we have the potential in Christ to facilitate change. In other words God has placed us on this earth to make a positive difference in the lives of other people. We have in us through Christ the potential to change the course of history. Sins can be forgiven. The lowly can be lifted up. The sick can be healed.
The possibility of speaking into the lives of others is generally orchestrated through relationships. We must see ourselves and others in Christ as family. It is easier to sacrifice or submit when we understand that we all belong to Christ when we are His. Relationship means experiencing the ups and downs of life together. Relationships make it possible to affect the lives of others.
Being a part of a family affords some benefits. Heirs generally are family members. Once in a while someone outside will be remembered because of something they have done but for the most part heirs are family members. Safety, protection, peace, and happiness are also attributes of family.
Family requires some responsibility as well. We learn what we can share and what we must keep to ourselves. We learn who we can depend on and who we keep at arms' length. We learn how to cooperate. We learn how to submit. We learn how to communicate and compete also.
All of us can recall someone who poured themselves into our lives. Because of that we should not have any reservations of doing the same for someone else. There are people searching for someone who will not do things for them but give some encouragement along the way. Don't be afraid to be involved with others. They are just like you, created to serve.

What we have to give.
January 11, 2011
We all wonder at times why things are happening the way they are happening. There are times we question if God is really on our side. We all believe that if we had more we could do more and if things didn't come against us at the most inopportune time we could accomplish more. We will not have a lot of control over when and where circumstances seem to obstruct our path. We could and would possibly do more if we had more and there is no right or opportune time for opposition. Realistically the time is always now and that is when things happen. Just be assured of this. God is now and always on your side.
As we search the scriptures we find that all men of God have had to face and endure their share of misfortune or opposition. Some men have even been taken from this life before receiving the promise yet it didn't detour them. God promised He would never leave us nor forsake us and His word goes on to say that all things work together for good to them who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
Each step of a righteous man is ordered of God. It is important for us to understand that God will tell us each step to be taken. It is equally important to accept that God uses each of those steps to confirm His leading us to that place of righteousness in Him. May we discover how to follow God in such a manner that we can hear Him say "well done."
Man_Up and be the man that God wants you to be.
September 27, 2010
Today is the day the Lord has made. Yesterday with its pains and struggles are in the past. We can't do
much about yesterday but we are expected to navigate through today. Let us do all we can to be what
we are supposed to be today. In Ezekiel 22:30, the word says "I sought for a man among them who
should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land."(ESV) I understand that the
word man could be interpreted as person, but for now let us take it literally to mean a man. If it is a man
that God is looking for then it is a man that God expects to find. If that is true then how seriously should
we take the challenge of this statement? BE A Man!!! Stand up and be the man God wants you to be.
Ezekiel is an awesome example of a man. He experienced in his walk with God the ups and downs.
He saw and experienced the glory of the presence of God as well as having to endure the pain of
disappointment and discouragement. He endured the suffering for an example to the people. Yet
through it all he became the man God was looking for. During the hardships we may feel that we just
can't go another step. We may feel we are at the edge of absolute despair. We may get to a place
where we don't want to allow hope for fear of another disappointment. We may be tempted to give up
completely. I find twice in the life of Ezekiel that God seemed to call time out and pull Ezekiel to the side
and explain that all would be okay. If we will follow Him it will be okay for us also.
Let me say it this way. God is not dead. He is alive. He is not deaf. His arm is not shortened. He is ready
to provide, to lift up, to bless and to encourage for He is jealous for His own. So stay the course. Keep
walking. Keep praising. Keep on being faithful.
Pray for the brethren.
Intercede for one another.
Take your place.
BE A Man
Are You willing to Man Up?
September 25, 2010
Are you ready to become the person God wants you to be? Are you willing to face life with the optimism
and hope required to overcome? Are you prepared to make the necessary choices to put yourself in the
middle of God's will? Are you willing to Man_Up?
The term Man_up is simply a reference to the act of becoming the person God wants you to
be. We must voluntarily choose to cooperate in the processes necessary for that transformation to
be completed by making the right sovereign decisions. To Man_Up is to intentionally place ourselves
in God's plan for our lives and to be subjected to His dealing with us as sons so that we may make it
through on the other side the man He wants us to be.
I will say that sometimes that process may not be an enjoyable one. I probably should say that
only after the pains of the struggles are over and the rewards are being admired will it be enjoyable. No
hardship for an extended period of time is enjoyable. We don't need to confuse ourselves by trying to
convince one another that it is. Sometimes it will seem as the testing of our level of tolerance for there
will not appear to be any understandable or explainable reason for the pain. There are some things that
are supposed to hurt. If they don't there is something wrong. We must learn to see through the pain. We
must have vision enough to look past the circumstances. We could probably agree that Jesus was going
through a tough situation the last week of His life here. In the garden He cried, "if it be possible let this
cup pass from me." On the cross He cried, "why hast thou forsaken me?" However He finished both by
giving Himself over to God.
In the garden – "not my will by yours"
On the cross – "into thy hands I commend my spirit"
Give yourself to God.
Allow Him total control.
Man Up – the reason for the study
September 22, 2010
The purpose of the Man_Up study is to promote a realistic and systematic approach to working
our way through the stuff life throws at us and still being able to stay faithful to God. There is no reason
for anyone not being able to make it. The price has already been paid. The way has already been
declared. It is just a matter of navigating our way through this life successfully to the end. That way of
navigation is staying faithful to God. Take quit out of the equation. Take give up out of the vocabulary.
Declare and determine to go forward and not look back except to recognize that is not where you want
to be.
It may not always be easy but there is a way to make it easier. We have all heard the saying that
refers to working smarter rather than harder. Consider the Man_Up study as the smarter approach. We
are going to learn how to "Get Up." That refers to being successfully challenged. God doesn't intend for
us to become lazy; however He does intend for us to continue to grow. We are going to grow by being
challenged. We will also learn to "Stay Up." That refers to being encouraged. I know some of us are
pretty serious people and it is all about progress, but we have to learn how to be encouraged. We will
learn how to "Look Up." That refers to adequately assessing where we are in God. It is imperative we
know we are on the right track. We are also going to learn how to "Step Up." That refers to accepting
that God is leading us step by step to become what he desires for us to be.
Book four in the Man_Up series is entitled "Here's the Man." It is based on the life and times of
Joseph. Joseph is a neat story of a man hearing from God and staying the course with his life through all
that would be thrown at him. Yes we see him being mistreated. We see him being disappointed and
frustrated. We see him being faithful and at the right time he was presented. Here's the man. All of us
should expect to be given opportunity to make a significant contribution. The steps we are taking are not
just because we are being toyed with. These steps are for the fulfillment of His will and purpose in our
lives. We must be ready and willing to "Step Up" at the appointed time.

If you haven't heard the update yet, you may be surprised that the newest UN women's goodwill ambassador is actress and model Emma Watson. The announcement came on July 8 about Watson's new role in the organization that strives to achieve gender equality. Shock over the choice of 24-year-old Watson may certainly be the response if you know her best (or perhaps solely) as spunky Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movie series. However, the British actress also has a lot of volunteer work in her portfolio that no one seems to tell you about, which has helped to earn her the current UN honor. Here is more about her charity work:
Emma Watson's Role in Hurricane Sandy
While the tragedy of Hurricane Sandy will never be forgotten, it is important also to point out who gave their time to help others during the crisis. Emma Watson was one of those helpers. When her film set got shut down in New York City due to the tremendous storm, she joined the City Meals on Wheels campaign to deliver food along the streets of NYC to homebound elderly and other people in need. While there was no power in the streets, she took power into her own hands by helping give back to the city.
CAMFED and Emma Watson
Did you know that the actress has already been named an ambassador? In late 2012, she was named the new ambassador of CAMFED (Campaign for Female Education) International. Within the organization, Watson uses her celebrity to encourage the movement toward the education and support of girls in rural Africa. The main reason for few young females going to school there is poverty; in other words, their families simply can't afford to send them to school. Money donated to CAMFED helps go toward stationery, uniforms and more.
Eco-Fashion Line for the Model
While Emma Watson could simply model fabulous clothes and enjoy the spotlight without worries for how the clothing is made, she has chosen only to work within the Fair Trade fashion industry. When the People Tree, a company well-known for its fair trade practices, approached Watson in 2010 to help design its first ever youth fashion line, she accepted.
It was an instant hit, and People Tree asked her to design another collection. What almost no one tells you, however, is that this time she insisted on going to Bangladesh to see where and how the garments are made. The production is not in a factory; instead, items come from villages and are 100 percent organic, natural cotton, according to Eluxe Magazine. The public may love the clothes for their celebrity link, but I love that she went to see for herself that the fashion pieces are ethically made.
While Emma Watson is a celebrity who has been in several films, she remains grounded in her commitment to charity work. This new role as a UN women's goodwill ambassador is likely not going to be her last bit of volunteering.

Just a brief note in which I aim to decode the ideas of the proof that the Galois group of an integer polynomial reduced modulo p is a subgroup of the Galois group of the polynomial over the rationals.
Here is our idea. Let be a polynomial with distinct roots in a splitting field . Then instead of viewing the Galois group of over as something mysterious about , we concretely identify it as a subgroup of the symmetric group on n letters, corresponding to its action on the roots. Note that this is a perfectly sensible thing to do, since any element of the Galois group which fixes all the roots of acts as the identity on , by the definition of a splitting field.
It helps us to visualise this algebraically, so let , a `generic resolvent' which contains all the possible permutations and is therefore stable under any permutation. In particular, it is stable under the subgroup and hence has rational coefficients. Furthermore, if we factorise it into irreducibles (over ) these correspond to cosets of .
Let us see why. On the one hand, if then since stabilises , for all . On the other hand, is a rational polynomial, by Galois theory, so since is irreducible, we have in fact
Similarly, the other irreducible factors represent G-cosets by exactly the same arguments. Therefore we can literally read off the Galois group by looking at the factorisation of a single irreducible factor . What a pleasant way to study the Galois group of a polynomial!
We can use a couple of algebraic tricks to push this idea further over the field in the case where is a monic integer polynomial. Firstly, by Gauss' Lemma we can take to be integer polynomials (pass from base ring to ). Next, now we have integer coefficients, we can reduce the whole setup modulo a prime $latex p$, and we are now studying the Galois group of over the field , but all our above arguments about irreducible factors correspond to our reading off subgroups still work.
However, note that since is a -polynomial, when we reduce the whole game modulo p, it becomes a perfectly respectable -polynomial, and therefore we deduce that the irreducible factor of reduced modulo which is divisible in a splitting field over by is an irreducible factor of the reduction of , and therefore has factors corresponding to a subset of the factors of . Thus, reading off the Galois group from the irreducible factors now, we deduce that
I think this reading off the Galois group by looking (in a splitting field) at the linear factors of the irreducibles can make one feel a little suspicious, but such suspicions are completely unfounded: by identifying the Galois group with the relevent subset of (having fixed an ordering of the roots in a splitting field), it is completely rigorous and elegantly transparent.

Detroit Pistons involved in second minor deal ahead of National Basketball Association trade deadline
- by Elias Mendoza
- in Sports
- — Feb 10, 2018
Nelson, 35, played in 43 games for the New Orleans Pelicans before being traded last week to the Bulls.
The Pistons have traded Willie Reed to the Chicago Bills for Jameer Nelson, a point guard who played under Stan Van Gundy in Orlando.
Like they did with Nelson, the Bulls are still trying to move Tony Allen - also acquired in the Mirotic deal - or could simply waive him when the deadline passes at 2 p.m.
Charania also reported the teams will swap second-round picks in 2022 as part of the deal. The Pistons have been short at guard since Reggie Jackson was sidelined with an ankle injury on December 26th.
U.S. announces takedown of global cyber theft ring
The City of London Police are credited alongside other global police forces for "siginificant efforts and timely cooperation". Infraud is said to have 10,901 registered members and was founded by Bondarenko, a 34-year-old Ukranian man.
Willie Reed is 27 years old and has been in the National Basketball Association for three seasons. Reed was suspended six games Tuesday after the National Basketball Association looked into the circumstances surrounding his arrest last August on a domestic violence charge. Reed, who is serving a six-game suspension for an offseason domestic violence arrest, was traded from the Clippers to the Pistons in the Blake Griffin deal late last month. He is averaging 3.9 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
Drummond added A late addition for the NBA All-Star Game, Pistons centre Andre Drummond will now take part in the Skills Challenge, which will be held on February 17th. They have been able to add some depth with two players who can contribute for two players who were now quite clearly little more than throw-ins to the Blake Griffin deal.
Minutes later, the Pistons added small forward James Ennis from the Memphis Grizzlies for Johnson, the same person told the Free Press. The 6'7 27-year-old will likely back up Stanley Johnson at the three and provide some positional versatility along with Johnson, Reggie Bullock and Luke Kennard.

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen 💝
~ Elton John (Lyrics from Your Song)
Preamble 😙
DisclaimerIf you're new to this blog, presumably having found this essay and perhaps expecting celebrity gossip—about movie actors and actresses in Hollywood and stuff like that as might have been suggested by the picture above showing theatrical drama unfolding before the eyes of a mesmerized audience—then I suggest that you stop right here and move on… 💔
Look, I'm an in-the-trenches software practitioner and this is yet another contrarian take—heavily peppered as always with abundant servings of culture and fun—on a topic that remains near and dear to my heart: the rip-roaring wherewithal of software actors and what makes them tick! ⏰
The Hollywood Principle(By the way, should anyone be interested, we can, in a future essay, chat some about the glamorous Hollywood Principle: "Don't call us, we'll call you!") 🎧
— Reader: Akram, are you feeling all right? Or is this another one of your excursions into a stormy night of bedeviling recursion?
— Blogger: I feel mighty fine, thank you. In fact, never felt better!
— Reader: So are you going to tell us, like, what this new essay is about?
— Blogger: Ah, yes.
(The Reader is getting perceptibly agitated now, having waited for a good two minutes…)
— Reader: I'm still waiting for your answer, and so are a million other readers, for crying out loud!
— Blogger: Oh, you wanted the answer right now, you don't say… Do you?
— Reader: I do.
— Blogger: Aha, don't despair, here's what I got going for you—dear Reader who hails from the legions of my beloved readers—and I ask you to turn your lovely eyes to the snapshot below…
— Reader: OK.
— Blogger: Cool. So here's my story… 🎬
What's Been Missing?Much ink and paper—a bit too much if you ask me—has been expended in the service of bringing the excitement of the programming and engineering communities to the general public, and with mixed results, too; it seems, and tiresomely so, as if something has been missing all along. And I think it's high time to fix it ⏰
This essay in particular—frankly this whole blog in general—is (and has been for a while) geared very much toward fixing all that 🔨 🔩 🔧
Who says that engaging in the crafts of computer programming and engineering can't be fun? Should there be someone who disagrees, then I can only ask you to bring them to me (so I can have a word with them in private!) 👻
Highlights Of The Fun Ahead 🎪
Meanwhile, and as is the wont of us geek types around here in the land of Programming Digressions, we're going to have fun—I strongly believe that fun should go with learning as much as learning should go with fun. So here goes, a peek at the undertones of this essay:
- A glance at how the introduction of software actors into the mix—as spearheaded by the visionary work of Jonas Boner and others—has revolutionized our industry 🏄
- An introduction—in the briefest of ways—to an amazing software project (Ptolemy) based in the esteemed EECS department of the University of California at Berkeley and which makes remarkable use of software actors 📬
- A fugue which can perhaps be traced back to Douglas Hofstadter's endearing, Pulitzer prize-winning work that we know as Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid 🙈 🙉 🙊
- A stream-of-consciousness collage inspired by the likes of Pink Floyd's timeless rock opera that we fondly call The Wall 🎥
- This essay will be far more experimental (in nature) than its predecessors (A word to "the wise," a community to which I'm ceaselessly trying to ascend, Sisyphus-style). See the next point—an final and strongly-present undercurrent of this essay—for a bit more detail… 🚧
- The notion—one that is ever-present in the mind of yours truly—that real artists ship: in tirelessly searching and carefully curating the images you find soon (in the collage of sorts), I might have bitten off more than I could chew. Woohoo (!) 🐶
- And as I said above, "real artists ship", of which I often remind myself—otherwise, this blog just wouldn't happen! The upshot of all this, of course, is that, in lockstep with the previous point (about how this essay will be decidedly experimental), you find this essay incrementally evolve before your eyes as the days go by… ⛵
- Finally, I will add some real-time updates—to go hand-in-hand with the previous announcement—as I go along: Look for those updates in the "Comments" section toward the end! 🐝
The Collage Fun Begins Right Here (Admit One)
🎫 🎫 🎫 🎫 … 🎫
— "Hey, just one, I said!" I mean, what are those ton of admission tickets above doing here?!) Okay, let we worry about that later (our accounting system has gone bad or something, spewing out fake admission tickets!)…
Meanwhile, let's start our tour of the gallery of actors, shall we? 🎭 🎬 🎪 🎨
It All Began With An Idea…So what's all this about software actors and amazing benefactors? Well, read on to find out!
You can tell that you're onto something incredible when one of the clearest-eyed thinkers in our software industry—Jonas Boner, a programming visionary extraordinaire who happens to be one of my mentors—has devoted a large chunk of his life to bringing an idea to life (and indeed to its fruition), and has this to say about the idea that started it all:
When Carl Hewitt invented the Actor model in the early 1970s he was way ahead of his time. Through the idea of actors he defined a computational model embracing nondeterminism (assuming all communication being asynchronous), which enabled concurrency and, together with the concept of stable addresses to stateful isolated processes, allowed actors to be decoupled in both time and space, supporting distribution and mobility.
~ Jonas Boner (In the Foreword to Vaughn Vernon's awesome book called Reactive Messaging Patterns with the Actor Model: Applications and Integration in Scala and Akka — Addison-Wesley Professional)
What The Actor Model Brings To The TableTo bring closure to the aforementioned introduction of the power of an idea, here's what Jonas adds to it in the same breath:
Wow! Talk about realizing the power latent in Hewitt's visionary thinking, and then dedicating oneself to make that dream come true, as you may well have noted in Jonas's concluding words above (i.e. "This is the reason I created Akka: to put the power of the Actor model into the hands of the regular developer.")Today the world has caught up with Hewitt's visionary thinking; multicore processors, cloud computing, mobile devices, and the Internet of Things are the norm. This has fundamentally changed our industry, and the need for a solid foundation to model concurrent and distributed processes is greater than ever. I believe that the Actor model can provide the firm ground we so desperately need in order to build complex distributed systems that are up for the job of addressing today's challenge of adhering to the reactive principles of being responsive, resilient, and elastic. This is the reason I created Akka: to put the power of the Actor model into the hands of the regular developer.
~ Jonas Boner (continuing, in the Foreword to Vaughn Vernon's Reactive Messaging Patterns with the Actor Model: Applications and Integration in Scala and Akka — Addison-Wesley Professional)
I invite you to re-read the message above… 🎯
I invite you to re-imagine the message above… 😴
The Movies, Akram, The Movies!Again, to disabuse you of any lingering notion that the potion we're smacking about is that of software actors; it's not movie actors—such as the melodramatic pair in the picture above—that we are hankering for today. (Wait up a bit, and all will be clear, I promise!)
Here's the deal: If you're like me—relentlessly searching for better ways of doing things—you will sense, even know almost immediately that you don't want to miss this…
Indeed, software actors are amazing benefactors, and we are going to find out exactly why and how!
That actors have become our benevolent benefactors is mainstream and a commonplace now: How this came to be is in many way a tribute to a number of people who have doggedly pursued their vision of making this a reality (I sincerely believe that the success of actors is a singularly spectacular example of academia and industry joining hands to achieve more than they ever could have on their own!)
Hey, What You Got Up Your Sleeves?
— Hey Akram, wait a second… You got yet another actor in the picture above to throw us off-balance?!In fact, let's dive right into it! 🏊
— Um, not really; all I'm trying to do is drive home the point that it's software that we be talking about today. (Again, wait up just a tad, and all will be clear!) 🌞
And we'll do so with a marvelous introduction of sorts by Stephen Blackheath and Anthony Jones in their delightful book called Functional Reactive Programming—the amazing folks at Manning Publications sure consistently produce stellar books on all things software—where the authors start out by posing a simple question to the reader, innocently asking
What is the actor model?Actors often marry models, as you can see in the figure, but we'll leave our analysis of the entertainment industry for another time.
Actors are a model of concurrency first developed in the 1970s. The programming language Erlang and, more recently, reactive frameworks like Akka make extensive use of it. It's especially suited for distributed computing because of its ability to tolerate runtime failures and to hot-swap components. It's been proven in large-scale commercial applications.
The actor model: An actor is a process whose job is to handle incoming messages from a single asynchronous input queue. Each actor has a public address, and other actors that know the address can send the actor messages. Actors commonly use a reply mechanism that sends a message to the originator of an input message. Actors can spawn new actors, and they can send the address of an actor to another actor over a message. Actors as they're commonly implemented have a thread-like flow of control. We think there's a lot of potential for FRP and actors to work together. You could, for example, implement the logic of an actor within an established actor-based framework using FRP.
~ Stephen Blackheath and Anthony Jones (in Functional Reactive Programming — Manning Publications)
A few water drops by themselves admittedly don't have much momentum going for them. But what happens when a bunch of those drops start assembling; anyone remember what John Steinbeck got rolling for common workers in the United States—his underlying message for workers to unite for their cause as couched in the context of the heart-rending saga of the Joad family's travails—with the publication of his novel The Grapes of Wrath?No man is an island entire of itself; every manis a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
~ John Donne (MEDITATION XVII in Devotions upon Emergent Occasions)
No Man Is An Island Entire Of ItselfMuch like John Donne's emphatic reminder (that "No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;") that we came across just a breath ago, a software actor—in and of itself—really can't do much. (By the way, his reference to being "…a part of the main", I'm sure is not, at least I hope not, an impious suggestion to bulk up the entire logic of any given computer program into the fateful method we all love, hate, and otherwise know by the name public static void main(String[] args){ ... }) or at least that's what we've got going for us in the Java programming language) 🏢
But I digress.
Anyhow, start adding more and more actors (like water drops assembled in a grid, making ever-denser super-connections between one another) and there is no limit to what you can accomplish… We've got something rolling here, we got mojo! 🏃
Ashes To Ashes, Dust To DustAnd it all leads up to—water-drop unto water-drop unto trickle unto stream unto river unto sea unto ocean—the tides crashing on the seashore. Yep, soon enough, you can have at your fingertips the power of software—fueled of course by the collective agency of networked actors—with at least as much force as the waves that crash on the shores of civilization as we know it… 🌊
Let It Crash!It is in the interaction of thousands and millions of software actors that promise of decoupled software comes into its own. The interconnectivity can bend and twist through all kinds of contortions and yet—through powerful software libraries like Apache Akka—we remain confident in the knowledge that the software system will remain supple, intact, and resilient. For one thing, Akka is deeply inspired by the Erlang philosophy of "Let it crash!". Apache Storm comes to mind as another prominent example of a software framework that fully embraces the fail-fast philosophy (aka resilience)…
One More Time (And This Time With Emotion!)
— One more time—all together now—is it theater actors that we're talking about? 🎭
— Of course not, you yell back! 👻
— Darn, you didn't have to be that loud either!! 🙉
E Pluribus Unum (Out Of Many, One)As you looked at the picture above of the endodermis of tightly packed cells, were you thinking what I was thinking? Put simply, one cell by itself can't do much; put a bunch of them together and you're off to the races 🐌
Same goes for software actors (Probably less so for movie actors, thought who am I to speak for their guild?) Remember, too, how the very roots of object-orientation were gleaned by Alan Kay in his pioneering work? Yep, there you go 📦
Nature: The Ultimate EngineerSoon enough—thinking here to our previous example involving the trace which lead us from puny water drops all the way up to roaring tides—this kind of growth (and taking the example now of a coral reef as in the picture above) eventually led to structures of towering magnificence. See how the harried fish take shelter under one such coral structure?
Humans: The Runners-UpSo that was Nature at work. Man, on the other hand—hey relax cuz' I ain't got no jeremiad coming your way—with his propensity for synthesizing things more mundane, goes about synthesizing burgundy footwear, ultimately dangling his synthesized product as in the picture above. And guess what he does? He foists them atop a fake, white coral-like memento! Sheesh… 👠
Oh well, what can I say? There ain't no harried fish I know of that is going to take shelter under such a structure anytime soon… 🐟 🐠 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐡 🐟
To Nature We Look (One More Time)Not to worry though: Man's got his act together in a ton of other areas, chiefly in the arena of engineering. But to take one more example of Nature at work… Ah, good old cellular mechanisms have got their act together; they've had their act together for millions of years and counting.
Nature is the ultimate engineer. We software types ever turn to Nature for inspiration. Forevermore will be continue to do so, amirite? 🐚 🐚 🐚 🐚 … 🐚
Networks Of Pulsating ObjectsSymmetry—fearful or otherwise—as in the picture above is but an example of man's take on his selfsame attempts to attack (technological) problems as he deems fit 🐅
The drive to uncover the fitness of things is a powerful driving indeed. But what you get in the end is a pulsating network made up of loosely coupled constellations of objects—the bits and bytes of the underlying substrate doing the bidding of these abstract constructs—that we have at our disposal. And as always, the limits of the human imagination are the limits of what can be achieved with this power.
Enter functional programming. But I digress: I'll leave you with merely a (dangling(!)) pointer here…
Prime Territory For The Actor ModelEnter Reactive Programming. And here I decidedly do not digress; reactive programming is prime territory for the actor model. What you'll see in the picture above—and in the handful follow—is a snapshot in time that captures the brilliance of some luminaries in the firmament of software design and development…
Tell All The Truth (But Tell It Slant)Another view, albeit told slant, told to mold the fold of the underlying origami that will perhaps elude you at this time, but which is fully present all the same 🍒
(Hint: Did anyone notice the Towers of Hanoi in their, somewhere? Recursive bootstrapping anyone?)
Composition: All The Way Down!This view is being told even more slant, cold and rolled, but never sold; a writer worth her salt never sold herself. Never. Ever. Did anyone notice the hefty UNIX tome? If so, does it remind you—now that I've let the cat out of the bag by alluding to the UNIX philosophy of composing with pipes and filters and stuff—of what gets you excited every single day as you wake up and imagine assembling ever more powerful compositions of software wizardry as enshrined in our objects (of desire)? Yep, it is objects and functions—and actors—all the way down! (Take it from someone who has worked in the trenches for over two decades).
Hey, I Got My T-Shirt!
- Yes, I've been there, done that, and got the T-shirt 👕
- Yes, I've been there, done that, and I'm immensely proud of it 💙
- And yes, I "believe" in software actors in part because I've known the sincerity and genuine awesomeness of rare benefactors 🎯
Actors Even Up There?!See the Lockheed C-130 Hercules dropping flares as in the picture above? Yep, Lockheed Martin sure keeps on making powerful flying machines. I wonder how much of the software that powers, in turn, such flying machines is itself powered by software actors… 🚀
Have you thought about it? 😜
Hey, What'You Doing, Cellular Automata Thingamajig?One more time, to reinforce the idea—nobody heard me use the word didactic ever, now did they?—would you be willing to suspend your judgment and blurt out whether the cellular automata-like sprawling (and semi-spiraling) thingamajig above reminds you of something? (Hint: The core idea of that thingamajig in action is a five-lettered word—it starts with the letter "a" and ends with the letter "r"—and that word is commonly used to describe movie stars. OK, no more hints. It's all on you from here!) 🏀
Actors In A Parallel RealmFor those of you not yet familiar with my fondness for the prose written by Philip M. Bromberg, I invite you to check out what he's been up to, at least what he was up to the last time I checked… ✅
Meanwhile, let's you and I take in Bromberg's take on actors and such:
To underscore his argument, Whyte quoted Hippolyte Taine, the 19th-century French philosopher and literary historian who also questioned the idea of separating conscious and unconscious into different realms. In imagery that I find breathtakingly comparable to current thinking about the structure of the mind, Taine wrote,
"One can... compare the mind of a man to a theatre of indefinite depth whose apron is very narrow but whose stage becomes larger away from the apron. On this lighted apron there is room for one actor only. He enters, gestures for a moment, and leaves; another arrives, then another, and so on.... Among the scenery and on the far-off backstage there are multitudes of obscure forms whom a summons can bring onto the stage ... and unknown evolutions take place incessantly among this crowd of actors" [Taine, 1871, cited in Whyte, 1960, pp. 166-167] 🎬 🎭 🎬
~ Philip M. Bromberg (Awakening the Dreamer: Clinical Journeys — Taylor and Francis)
Oops, We Have A Maalox Moment Here!
— Nemo: Hey Dory, Nemo here. Is it… safe to come out?! 🐟
— Dory: Well, it depends. Look, the bottom line is that, as Vaughn Vernon said swimmingly well in the fishy Preface to his cool book (Reactive Messaging Patterns with the Actor Model: Applications and Integration in Scala and Akka) when he hastened to comfort us that... "if Functor and Monad sound like viruses you caught as a child, steer clear of scalaz for a while." 🐠
— Nemo: Methinks I'll stay put in my comfort blanket (the corals) a bit more! 🐟
So We Pause To Regain Our Composure…
…and move right along 🚴
- Rhythmically swaying in the ocean currents, how far have the tentacles spread?
- What are the outer reaches of actors?
- Deterministic or nondeterministic, evolutionary or revolutionary?
- Anything else going on?
Actors Revel In The Perfect StormDo clouds make you think of fractals? It's quite all right if you answered no; I used to have the same response before I read the marvelous book Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick.
What else? What do clouds make you think of? How about cloud computing? Now we are getting warmer: Cloud computing is one of the crucial ingredients that make up the perfect storm—along with of course the Internet of Things (IoT), multicore processors, and mobile devices—which directly led the software industry to embrace software actors (Other kind of actors may follow suit, although I'm not holding my breath for that to happen anytime soon!)
Are There Actors Even In There?!Hey, that person kneeling on the floor, hands intently on his keyboard—he seems to be peering into the guts of an actuator arm even as he is surrounded by all kinds of gadgets which include an overhead display—and he sure seems to be having a lot of fun! I'm willing to bet that the software in action involves actors in some way, shape, or form…
Multicores Streak, Scream, And Screech!Now is that one slick time-lapse photograph of a nighttime, cosmopolitan street or what? So why did I include it here? Simply because the red-light streaks left suspended in midair by the tail-lights of vehicles whizzing by—much like the thousands of smiles one can imagine being left behind in suspended animation by an equal number of Cheshire Cats that disappeared a priori on the spot—remind me a lot of the circuitry inside multicore processors cranking away in mechanistic unison. And guess where all those multicores lead to: software actors but of course!
Akram, How Did You Get Away With This Now?!I'll fess straight up that the only reason the high-speed train above made it here is that it vividly reminds me of JCIP (JC… what?! Oh, you meant JC Penney, right?) Okay, so for the 10 people on this planet who are not familiar with the classic book called Java Concurrency in Practice (known fondly by its initials JCIP) by Brian Goetz et al, if you want to understand actors, you have to start here; this is concurrency done right especially if you happen to professionally inhabit—as I do—a world run (predominantly) by Java programs.
It Starts Innocently Enough…It all starts—as all traffic congestion fiascos do—with tiny contributions such as made by the arrival on the scene of a pair of bicyclists above (Hey, you two, didn't someone tell you that it's smart and cool to wear helmets? It's your own noggin that you be protecting, for crying out loud!)
A Juggernaut-In-The-Making!The tiny contributions to the traffic juggernaut-in-the-making keep adding until it's not a trickle anymore; we have a stream of traffic on our hands…
Actors To The Rescue Of (Traffic) GridlockSoon enough—sooner than most city planners would care to admit the frequency with which it happens—the stream of traffic transforms into a veritable river (Proof of purchase appears by way of the picture above in which you'll spy an about-to-be-clogged roundabout).
Akram Needs To Dig Out His Queuing Theory Text!Is this an M/M/1 queue or something or just my single-track mind at work? 🚥
Mesurier Marcel Proust, I Introduce You To ActorsRemembrance of Things Past… So I was saying?
Preparing For A Berkeley TouchdownImagining a remembrance of things future… (I almost cringed at using the word "adumbration" here even though it fit the bill perfectly; somehow that word doesn't sound like part of "normal" speech, whatever, I guess, that might be… But then again, a bunch of words I had memorized eons ago when studying for my GRE, coming on the heels as it did of an analogous venture for my SAT—right around the Paleozoic period it was as I recall—also didn't quite sound like the word which would have a place in "normal" speech!) 🐉
Digressions aside, with you in mind of course, I got to thinking: So ya thought ya might like to go to the show? 🎭
Strap on your seatbelts for the ride ahead as we get on the autobahn otherwise known as Ptolemy which, as I said at the outset, is an amazing software project based in the esteemed EECS department of the University of California at Berkeley. It makes some really cool use of software actors 😎
Hey, I Got Actors Prancing Around In My Eclipse Work-space!As you'll spy (in the picture above), I've got the Ptolemy II code-base all loaded up (and running in debug mode actually) in my Eclipse work-space. There is admittedly far too much going on in the picture above of my Ptolemy II code-base, so feel free to spend a few minutes digging into the nooks and crannies of what I've got captured just for you 🔦 🔧 🔨 🔩 🔎 🔬 🔭 🔗 🔦
(I spent a fair amount of time—all the while remaining mindful of the adage that a picture is worth a 1,000 words—packing as much information as I could, as densely as I could, into these handful of snapshots: I hope this works for you!)
Pretty much the same goes for the next set of images in our collage: I've tried to capture as best as I could a mere handful of aspects to (hopefully) give you a flavor of the goodies that await you in the Ptolemy II code-base… 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 … 🎁

Pre-calculate the rates to be set in the rate parameter of the input port. Initialize the private variable _rateArray, each element of which indicates the input port needs to consume one token from a corresponding channel and no token from the rest of the channels.
Interacting With Code Visualizations, Oh My!Uh oh, yours truly clearly hasn't figured out the ins and outs of playing with the DDFSingleTokenCommutator as you can clearly tell from the helpful (Stack trace) pop-up staring me in the face, telling me that something's up with an (XML) element in the DE Director. Dude, it's time to hit the Javadoc to bail myself of this lovely mess I've got myself into. Hey, it's all good: this is my idea of fun—untangling delightful puzzlements such as this one—and I'm going to get to the bottom of it! 🚧

Where, oh where will my searches lead me to? Fair question there!
For one thing, I'm going to have some fun looking into a tonne (we Americans would of course spell it "tons", but hey, that's my early, British education poking out unbidden!) of actor libraries, and of course the domain polymorphic components. Cool and righteous stuff (Whoa, did I spy even something about data polymorphism in there?! Dude, my Clojure senses—code is data and data is code—are tingling like gangbusters this second! 🐞
The Actors (In Ptolemy II) Are Alive And Kicking!Having loaded the same (Ptolemy II) code-base into good old IntelliJ IDEA—my IDE of choice—I couldn't help but notice just how active the code-base is 🚀
Dude, this project is alive and kicking and moving right along: I couldn't help but notice code commits to the SVN repository right up to the present day! (I invite you to "check out"—using that phrase and its overloaded sense—the "Version Control" tab toward the bottom of the picture above and you can't miss the steady stream of ongoing commits to the development branch of Ptolemy II in the SVN repository…) ⛳
Scala, Wherefore Art Thou, Scala?And hey, the fun I'm having with porting the (Java) code-base to the Scala programming language is in its infant stages so it's probably best that you not look at my preliminary results 👀
(Since we are on the subject of Scala, I'll mention in passing that the Ptolemy II environment has some REPL-like capabilities: instantaneous feedback during interactions with the JavaScript portions of the code-base that you can update and have reflected real-time in the view-rendering of the updated model. Hot-swaps of code are supported—this is one of the many areas in Ptolemy II that I look forward to tinkering with—for the Java portions of the code-base!)
I mean, you could, but then you would likely find yourself reaching into your medicine closet for a healthy serving of Maalox (Just sayin') 😉

Hey Akram, RTFM* (And The Javadoc While You're At It!)Hey, hey, hey… I was going to add something to go along with the image above—showing yet another "slice" of the (Ptolemy II) code-base as viewed from my IntelliJ IDEA work-space—but something happened along the way… 👒
I broke into a song sung by (you don't want to hear me singing!) the one and only Chris Cross. It went like this 🎸
Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
~ Christopher Cross (Lyrics from Sailing)
System Design And Modeling Using Actors (Part One)Notice the hefty volume standing upright, perched atop a stack of ragtag books that periodically float around in orbit—not in outer-space I hasten to add—inside the confines of my house? Yep, that's the final word (aka the collected wisdom) on the subject of doing things right with actors using Ptolemy II. It's available online freely…
System Design And Modeling Using Actors (Part Two)And what you see above is basically another view of the book—the back of the Ptolemy II book to be precise—on understanding the wherewithal of of Ptolemy II (i.e. the ins and outs of what makes it tick and cool stuff like that). Hey, you may have notice the wizened philosopher on the cover… ⏳
So that's good old Claudius Ptolemaeus, the fine chap who came out of retirement just to (ghost) write this amazing volume and thereby enlighten the engineering and programming worlds on the coolest of actors 😎
E Pluribus Unum (One More Time!)

Micro-Faust (A Tiny Smidgen Of A Bargain)*
Try stopwatch: Hey you, timing-reactor!* So this was chiefly an exercise to calculate the time-factor—complete with a Faustian interlude of course— for which Akram can be kept away from breaking into verses of poetry, from waxing wee lyrical… 🎻
Yo, actor
You I intend to refactor
This time I be your benefactor Amirite, will you then be a sniveling malefactor?
Should you desist, then redact away, you redactor
Meanwhile, I'll contract the way for you, my contractor
Catch stopwatch: You again, timing-reactor!
Throw: Should I be remiss, please forward me to Shacter…
Finally: Calculate the factor
Hey, We've Seen This Before!I know you have… (And yes, you're correct, the picture above has indeed shown up earlier in this essay; I put it here a second time just to see if you are still awake—don't you now be accusing me of being devious or something, okay?) 😴
Anyhow, it appears that you are… sound asleep! 😳
Look, even if you're fast asleep—hey I welcome people of all stripes to our blog here including card-carrying members of any extant somnambulists' associations—I encourage you to continue reading (Lots more fun stuff ahead for you!) 🚶
Enacting FigaroAnd—just to be perfectly clear—it's not redacting that we are talking about here: it's enacting, and Figaro at that… ("Okay Akram, you're busted real good this time 'cuz there ain't no connection between software actors and Figaro and acting or, for that matter, enacting!", you scold me).
Here's what I got to say in my defense: "Ooh, but there's more of a—for sure far more than a tenuous—connection than meets the eye when it comes to establishing a nexus between those seemingly disparate items (software actors, Figaro, and acting), yoohoo". Check this:
Enacting Figaro…
- Practical Probabilistic Programming (by Avi Pfeffer — Manning Publications)
- Scalable Internet Architectures (by Theo Schlossnagle — Sams Publishin)
- System Design, Modeling, and Simulation using Ptolemy II (edited by ClaudiusPtolemaeus — The Ptolemy Project at the University of California at Berkeley)
What Is This Thing That Builds Our Dreams……yet slips away from us?
What could the books in the picture above (the three atop that ragtag bookshelf now), and in the order that they're decked out, have possibly to do with software actors? Nothing 🌋
And everything 🌈
So however tenuous a connection there might now be floating around and congealing in your imagination, I can assure you of the presence of a strong connection between the material of those books and the subject matter of this essay (all things actors). It would take (at least) a whole another essay to do justice to establishing that very nexus and will have to wait for its time ⏳

Experimental Afterword 🔮
Experimenters Ahoy!Much as I said at the outset, this essay was going to be—dare I say that's how it turned out?—far more experimental (in nature) than its predecessors… 🚧
As you took in the collage above—we had fun and we went places but we still have empty spaces of which some were even annotated with the "[empty spaces]" moniker in fits of literal-mindedness—did your mind to turn to (I'll 'fess up: Mine did!) to these hauntingly memorable lyrics
What shall we use
To fill the empty spaces
Where we used to talk?
How shall I fill
The final places?
How should I complete the wall
~ Pink Floyd (Lyrics from Empty Spaces)

It's Friday.
I'm just hours away from completing my first week back at work. Full time.
I don't want to talk about it. But know that I did it.
To say I'm happy it's Friday and that I'm SO looking forward to the weekend would be the biggest understatement of my life.
On that note, Happy Friday and peace out.
Here's some cuteness to tide you over.
I've missed these two.

I've made at least a dozen more raggy flannel quilts since that first one for my friend's new son. In fact, when she adopted another little boy, he received one, too. Last summer, she commissioned me to make one for each of her nieces. That was a great creative exercise as I tried to match fabric and style with each girl's personality.
When I was in the hotel business, we used to joke about selling space for "meetings for two (persons) or more." I've heard decorators refer to the three-object rule -- once you have three similar objects, you have a fledgling collection.
Thanks to sales at Joann Fabric and random late-night online stalking sessions, my flannel collection has grown considerably over the years, particularly since I started making Project Linus blankets, primarily little flannel "sandwiches" for newborns and infants. A lot of the prints I have accumulated -- archived? -- feature baby animals and other juvenile themes.
But every once in a while, something like this has caught my attention.
Then, my daughter was accepted to a PhD program at LSU. Now, she's not a baby. And she's not having a baby (although, tick-tock, I'm not getting any younger). But I've never seen such fervent, nay, rabid, fans as LSU Tigers. They love their purple. Their gold. And their unique way of spelling Geaux.
Getting a little caught up in Tiger fever, I thought I'd make a baby quilt for the etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/quiltingmissdaisy). I think this polka dot pattern adds a lot of excitement to the overall look, and keeps it from being too sweet, too fussy, too relentlessy purple-and-gold.
I have two more steps before I'm done: clipping and sewing.
Clipping used to be a tedious, arthritis-inducing job. Then I bought these fabulous little Fons and Porter rag scissors. They're designed to cut easily through multiple layers, and they snip the clipping time in half.

Evangelia "Litsa" Micheli-Tzanakou, a long-time IEEE volunteer and member of the IEEE Board of Directors, passed away on 24 September after a long illness. At the time of her death, Dr. Tzanakou was a professor emeritus and former director of the Computational Intelligence Laboratories in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers University, in Piscataway, N.J. From 1990 to 2000, Dr. Tzanakou was chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers, where she established one of the first and most renowned biomedical engineering undergraduate programs in the United States.
She received a bachelor's degree in physics in 1969 from the University of Athens. Dr. Tzanakou went on to earn master's and doctoral degrees, also in physics, in 1974 and 1977 from Syracuse University, in New York. She devoted her professional career to image and signal processing as it applies to biomedicine, information processing in the brain, artificial neural networks, and biometrics.
Among Dr. Tzanakou's many IEEE volunteer activities were her services as division 10 director from 2005 to 2006; IEEE vice president, Educational Activities, 2008; chair of the Awards Board, 2002 to 2003; and chair of the Medal of Honor Committee, 2004 to 2006. She was elected Fellow of the New Jersey Academy of Medicine in 1986, and IEEE Fellow in 1992 ("for contributions to the application of neural networks to the analysis of the operation of the visual system"), and Founding Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering in 1993.
Dr. Tzanakou was co-author of "Biometrics: Theory, Methods, and Applications" (Wiley-IEEE Press, 2010). She was the author of Supervised and Unsupervised Pattern Recognition: Feature Extraction and Computational Intelligence (CRC Press, 2000); and co-author of the highly popular Neuroelectric Systems (New York University Press, 1987). She also served as an editor for the Springer/Plenum Press Biomedical Engineering Series, and published more than 280 scientific papers with co-investigators and students.
Of special interest and significance to Dr. Tzanakou was the emerging field of biometrics. She was one of the first academics to write on the subject, and one of the founders of the IEEE Biometrics Council.
During her tenure as vice president, Educational Activities, she had initiated and led the effort to create the IEEE Certified Biometrics Professional program. This was a large-scale effort, viewed by some as too ambitious for IEEE at the time. The project involved more than 50 experts in the field, and required wide consensus among them on the establishment of new authoritative definitions, framework, and vocabulary in an emerging and diverse field. In spite of the skepticism she had encountered in the early stages, Dr. Tzanakou was able to navigate this complicated endeavor to its successful conclusion—the Biometrics Certification Program she envisioned is now a standard and popular offering of IEEE.
IEEE volunteers and staff members who have worked with Litsa will remember her passion about IEEE awards and IEEE outreach activities, her optimism, her advocacy of biomedical engineering and the incorporation of life sciences in IEEE, and her persistent and unyielding pursuit of the Biometrics Certification Program. She was an ardent promoter of IEEE's causes and programs, and her enthusiasm made her personal ambitions identical to her IEEE ambitions. Her many IEEE volunteer and staff friends will also remember her humanity, good humor—especially when plans seemed to go awry—and her inclusiveness and interest in students and younger members, for many of whom she has served as a devoted mentor and a source of inspiration.

Los Angeles officials received more grim financial news Tuesday as the City Council grappled with the pain of having to downsize some of its most popular programs.
City Controller Wendy Greuel delivered the harsh news, with a forecast that revenues will be down $141 million next year, primarily due to a drop in property taxes that will force the city to borrow more money.
"The mayor and City Council cannot – and should not – count on an increase in tax revenue to help balance the city's budget next year," Greuel said.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Councilman Bernard Parks, chair of the Budget and Finance Committee, said Greuel's forecast was expected.
"What this shows is that we need to act and act quickly to make the cuts we need now," Villaraigosa said.
Greuel estimated the city will need to borrow $550 million next year. The city borrowed $400 million in tax revenue anticipation notes this year.
For the coming year, Greuel said she expects to see a slow improvement in the private sector, but city government will need more time to recover.
Also on Tuesday, the City Council grappled with consolidating the functions of the Human Services Department into the Community Development Department.
Councilman Tom LaBonge said officials wanted to make sure the functions of the departments are continued.
LaBonge said an agreement had been worked out with the mayor to retain the Department of Disability, scaled down but continuing its work with the disabled and the AIDS community.
Councilman Tony Cardenas voiced concern over the impact on community facilitators and anti-gang activities.
"What makes me concerned is that we are looking at the Human Relations Commission, which on its surface looks like an easy job," Cardenas said. "But when we have a volatile situation, it becomes more complicated and the expertise we have cannot be duplicated."
Councilwoman Janice Hahn, who represents the Harbor Area, said she also wanted to have another look at decisions involving the facilitators.
"These are people the community trusts and that's something we couldn't always say," Hahn said. "It took an outside person to come in and help and I don't want to lose that."

Marine Le Pen's ambition to close France down to immigrants should cause national shame
Fanatical Marine Le Pen supporters always whoop with joy when the far-Right French presidential candidate pledges to keep all foreigners out of their country. They were certainly absolutely ecstatic on Monday night when the bleach-blonde demagogue delivered one of her toughest campaign speeches yet at a rally in Paris's 19th arrondissement.
"Mass immigration is not an opportunity for France, it's a tragedy for France," the Front National (FN) leader boomed, looking and sounding every inch the proud daughter of convicted racist, xenophobe and anti-Semite Jean-Marie Le Pen.
Never mind that Le Pen 2.0 was in one of the most ethnically diverse quartiers in France, the poisonous platitudes poured...
