Rumpke landfill odor cancels out Price Hill stench
CINCINNATI, OH - After a malfunctioning gas well caused an increase in the odor from the Rumpke landfill, it was discovered that the new smell effectively cancelled out the general odor of Price Hill. Local environmentalists are calling the phenomena a victory for the overall air scent in the Tri-State.
The gases from the well escaped into the air in a rotting garbage scented cloud that drifted throughout the community. Area residents were quick to discover that the equality of the scents. "I wasn't sure what to think at first," said Lois Reinhart from Colerain Township. "I either got used to it really fast, or the fumes killed enough brain cells that I wasn't able to tell the difference."
EPA spokesman Thomas Weiner explains, "It is a very complicated chemical odor reaction that is rather hard to explain. In laymen's terms, I would just say it is like when a lady wearing too much perfume walks into a bait shop."
Some Price Hill residents are upset that the smell of their community has been cancelled out. "We've worked hard to perfect that smell for over a century," complained resident Paul Abrahamson. "It was a wonderful mix of body odor, wet dogs, chili, axe body spray, and moldy jean shorts. I miss it already."
For a short time, the two smells met and independently coexisted halfway between Mt. Rumpke and Price Hill. Residents of Delhi claim to have seen a foul green cloud meeting with a foul bluish grey cloud, and claim that standing between the two was somewhat of a religious experience.

Outlook: Stephen Green's idea of a "B20" to encourage a dialogue between global business and policymakers is a good one.
Another business lobby group, you might think, is just what we don't need, with public trust in bankers,financiers and big business at rock bottom. Wasn't it the irresponsible, greed-fuelled self-interest of bankers that got us into this mess in the first place? Yet as an invited panel of experts, a B20 could be a useful addition. Certainly, it would go some way towards guarding against the law of unintended consequences as the reform agenda develops. Over-reaction is in nobody's interests.
Many aspects of "fair-value accounting" are completely bonkers in their pro-cyclical consequences. The same goes for the Basel 2 capital requirements, which even now are acting to make an already calamitous lending famine a deal worse. A B20 will help in getting these things right.
The problem is that by the time a more counter-cyclical policy agenda is agreed and introduced, it will already be too late. Such changes may or may not help mitigate the next catastrophe, but they will dolittle to ease the immediate crisis unless acted on right now.
One of the reasons so many participants here think things will get a great deal worse before they getbetter is that a huge amount ofprivate-sector debt has to be refinanced over the next year – £200bn in Britain alone – with still no obvious answers on where the money will come from, other than governments.
Without urgent action, mass defaults are threatened, even among companies that in normal conditions would be perfectly healthy. The new banking bailout package announced last week will help a bit, but it is not the whole solution by any means.

I went to Doll House and had the worst experience of my life. I ordered a dress 3 months before my formal and it didn't come in. she told me the dress was customized but was told a week before my formal that they could not do it and was told to chose another dress from the shop which upset me as I had my heart set on the dress I ordered. Thank you Doll House for destroying my only formal it was the worst time.

The Bedbug : Klop Ustinov: Britain's Most Ingenious Spy Paperback
by Peter Day
Part of the Dialogue Espionage Classics series
Klop Ustinov was Britain's most ingenious spy - but he was never licensed to kill.
Instead, he was authorised to bemuse and beguile his enemies into revealing their deepest, darkest secrets.
From the Russian Revolution to the Cold War, he bluffed and tricked his way into the confi dence of everyone from Soviet commissars to Gestapo Gruppenfuhrer.Although his official codename was U35, he was better known as 'Klop', meaning 'Bedbug' - a name given to him by a ver y understanding wife on account of his extraordinary capacity to hop from one woman's bed to another in the King's service.Frequenting the social gatherings of Europe under the guise of innocent bon viveur, he displayed a showman's talent for entertaining (a trait his son, the actor Peter Ustinov, undoubtedly inherited) and captivated unsuspecting audiences while scavenging their secrets.Using exciting anecdotes and first-hand accounts, Peter Day explores the fascinating life of one of espionage's most inventive and memorable characters.
The Bedbug was a master of uncovering the truth through telling tales; now his own tale can be told.The Dialogue Espionage Classics series began in 2010 with the purpose of bringing back clas sic out-of-print spy stories that should never be forgotten. From the Great War to the Cold War, from the French Resistance to the Cambridge Five, from Special Operations to Bletchley Park, this fascinating spy history series includes some of the best military, espionage and adventure stories ever told.

Over the weekend, Mythic surprised us with a mini Live Event, Struggle for Nordenwatch. It wasn't very complicated, they opened up a tier 1 scenario for everyone, gave it +10% Experience and Renown and added a task list with a Title reward. It could not have been too much work on their part, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.
I did manage to complete all of the tasks and become the Master of Nordenwatch. At first I thought that completing 20 scenarios was not going to be doable. On Sunday though, the scenarios started to pop pretty fast and I completed them. Overall I made some good Renown and got some tokens.
Ever since hitting 40, I have pretty much avoided scenarios except when needed to lock a zone. Now that we have zone domination, I never queue up. This weekend, I played a lot more WAR than planned and most of the time in Nordenwatch. The scenario itself is fun at 40 and the renown was very nice.
I think that it is safe to assume we will see more events like this in the future. Personally, I'd like to see something like this once a month, maybe even more frequently. They don't have to give us a task list each time, just a +XP/Renown bonus would get me to queue up and the fact it is a scenario I have not played in a while.
Alternatively, they could give us a task list. It should be expanded upon so it will take several weekends of that scenario to accomplish. Since it takes so long, a nice reward should be at the end of it, not just a title. I'm not sure if players have the patience to complete an event which may take half a year.
These kind of mini events will be crucial to WAR's success. They add variety to an otherwise static experience. I know what many people are thinking out there, Tor Anroc as a 40? I say bring it on (not just because I'm a punter), it'll be fun to see what it is like at 40. Besides, it's only for a weekend.

Success at Nordenwatch
2 comments:
I had a great time in Nordenwatch this weekend. I did a write up on my blog about the live event also since it was so much fun.
I wasn't able to play much of the Nordenwatch because of being sick and having classes. :( I played about 5 matches though and loved it in the T2 bracket.
As long as we don't see a "Tor Anroc Weekend" I'll be okay.

It was around the German release of the 2005 action film, Kampfansage that that I started expanding my taste in martial arts cinema a little more. It was the first time I took notice of action stars Mathis Landwehr and Volkram Zschiesche, and some of the brightest talent working under them in their field, including martial arts action performer, stuntman and actor Mike Möeller.
I have seen Mike's 2010 and 2013 reels a few times, and I am even more delighted now to see that what I am seeing in them is finally making its way to North America on DVD, with the release of the multi-award winning martial arts action revenge thriller from Generation X Group Film- & Medienproduktion, Arena Of The Street Fighter (previously released as Urban Fighter a.k.a. "Street Gangs"). The film also happens to be Mike's directorial debut, and is being celebrated by some of the best of the best in the martial arts action film industry, including Eric Karson, Isaac Florentine, and Don "The Dragon" Wilson, with its lead actor and director Mike Möeller, emerging through the hype as Germany's answer to Jet Li and Tony Jaa.
That's a big standard to set from the greats of action cinema. And without question, if I were you, I would take their word for it!
The film's cast sees Mike reuniting with Landwehr and Zschiesche, along with Oliver Juhrs and Nico Sentner who also served as co-executive producers. The film also stars Michael Bornhütter, Eskindir Tesfay, Michael Braun, Steffen Jung, Alessandro Janus, Najely Chumana and Sigo Heinsich.
With any luck, the film will be granted a North American release in early June. Until then, be sure to visit Möeller's official website and follow the film on Facebook as well.
The vicious and blood thirsty "Slater" runs the most violent gang in the land. There are those who dare not to join gangs, like Mike and his friends. But when Mike's brother is killed; he will fight to take vengeance on those who killed him & end their reign of violence in "Arena of the Street Fighter".

Finally found one of the Roscoe display cases that I had heard about. Barnes & Noble and Borders didn't have them, and in fact all these big stores I've visited had only one copy of each book in their shelves. For having such an influence over the design and marketing, you'd hope they'd put their money where their mouth is. But bless Hannah and Heather and Sarah at CBW in Haverford. They had dozens of Roscoe books and this nice display, and Hannah says she's sold lots of books. Woo!

be optimistic! perhaps those mega-monster book sellers had dozens of copies, but sold them all!
I mean, you're pretty great and all.

A professor at Washington University in St. Louis is touting (and has applied for a patent) for what she calls the "antidiscrimination bond." Employees would buy the bonds on hiring, would earn interest on the money during their employment, but would forfeit the proceeds if they ever sued the company. The professor, Anne Marie Knott, says this would discourage (without illegally eliminating) candidates more likely to sue, and thus help employers feel less anxious about hiring women and minorities. Federal regulators have yet to weigh in on the legality of this idea.
Older workers
ExperienceWorks, a training and placement provider for older workers, recently surveyed 300 recipients of its "Outstanding Older Workers" honors. (One of this year's honorees is 101 years old and still on the job.) Perhaps unsurprisingly, these stars reported that they still feel age discrimination is a significant barrier in the workplace, and that employers too often assume that older workers can't perform because they can't learn new skills. In fact, ExperienceWorks says, while older workers learn differently, data indicate that they retain new skills better than younger trainees.Harassment of men
About 20 percent of harassment and hostile-work-environment claims are filed by men, against both male and female co-workers and supervisors. However, experts suggest that the true incidence of such harassment--especially of men by women--is probably greater, and that men are less likely to complain about behavior that, were the genders reversed, would obviously merit action. It's worth remembering that the laws themselves are gender-neutral, and that "man-bashing" in the workplace can create a hostile environment just as surely as sexist comments or actions regarding women.Related Articles...

A ton of money just piled into U.S. stocks.
After 16 straight weekly outflows, U.S. equity mutual funds saw inflows of $5.2 billion, according to Morgan Stanley.
Year-to-date, however, U.S. equity mutual funds have seen net outflows of $22 billion.
The recent inflow to U.S. stocks comes as the S&P 500 made a new all-time high this week, finishing Thursday's trading session at 1,992.37.
Money is also coming back into high-yield bonds, with the week ended August 20 marking the highest weekly inflows this year, according to Bloomberg's Sridhar Natarajan and Christine Idzelis.
Investors poured $2.2 billion into high-yield bond funds during the week, though this followed a four-week period that saw $12.6 billion was yanked from high yield bonds.
Here's what the huge influx of money into U.S. equity funds looks like, via Morgan Stanley:

Constantly connected — get 24/7 online access to your Apache customer account.... Click it. Track it. Get it. »
When the application's a tough one — think aggregate, mining, logging, metals — it needs a belt that's even tougher. To meet this need, Apache is introducing these new extreme-duty belt specifications with the durability to stand up to even the most challenging uses.
These high-tension belts are ideally suited to the aggregate industry, and are particularly functional under primary rock crushers as well as being durable options at transfer points. Mining applications are another popular industry segment for this class of products, due to the strong carcasses and the Grade 1 covers. Thick skim coats between the plies can absorb high impact and stand up to repeated abrasion, which are required when conveying large lump sizes and heavy ores.
These belts are a popular choice for conveying large logs in the wood products industry, as well as scrap metal handling and crushing. Belts with higher tension ratings can withstand heavy and repetitive impacts, like those from free-falling logs to large chunks of metal.
When used in metal recycling and crushing applications, these belts are a preferred choice to convey material away from stationary and guillotine shears. In wood processing applications, these belts are ideal for sawmills as well as applications such as log decks, chipper in-feeds, debarking, and wood yards.
Contact the experts at Apache to discuss which belting option is best suited to your specific application, or to request an Extreme-Duty belt sample swatch.

Concurrency: Mutual Exclusion and Synchronization Chapter 5
Definitions _critical section: a section of code which reads/writes shared data _race condition:potential for interleaved execution of a critical section by multiple threads => results are non-deterministic _mutual exclusion: synchronization mechanism to avoid race conditions by ensuring exclusive execution of critical sections _deadlock: permanent blocking of threads _starvation:execution but noprogress
Conventional solutions for ME _software reservation: a thread must register its intent to enter CS and then wait until no other thread has registered a similar intention before proceeding _spin-locks using memory-interlocked instructions: require special hardware to ensure that a given location can be read, modified and written without interruption (i.e. TST: test&set instruction) _they are equivalent ! _OS-based mechanisms for ME: semaphores, monitors, message passing, lock files _they are equivalent !
Software reservation _works both for uniprocessors and multiprocessors but have overheads and memory requirements _multiple algorithms: Dekker and Peterson (in recitation) _ Lamport (common case: 2 loads + 5 stores) start: b[i] = true; x=i; if (y<>0) { /* contention */ b[i] = false; await (y==0); goto start; } y = i; if (x != i) { /* collision */ b[i] = false; for j=1 to N await(b[j]==false); if (y != i) { await (y==0); goto start; } CRITICAL SECTION y = 0; b[i] = false;
Problems with concurrent execution Concurrent processes (or threads) often need to share data (maintained either in shared memory or files) and resources If there is no controlled access to shared data, some processes will obtain an inconsistent view of this data The action performed by concurrent processes will then depend on the order in which their execution is interleaved
An example Process P1 and P2 are running this same procedure and have access to the same variable "a" Processes can be interrupted anywhere If P1 is first interrupted after user input and P2 executes entirely Then the character echoed by P1 will be the one read by P2 !! static char a; void echo() { cin >> a; cout << a; }
Race Conditions Situations like this where processes access the same data concurrently and the outcome of execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place is called a race condition How must the processes coordinate (or synchronise) in order to guard against race conditions?
The critical section problem When a process executes code that manipulates shared data (or resource), we say that the process is in it's critical section (CS) (for that shared data) The execution of critical sections must be mutually exclusive: at any time, only one process is allowed to execute in its critical section (even with multiple CPUs) Then each process must request the permission to enter it's critical section (CS)
The critical section problem The section of code implementing this request is called the entry section The critical section (CS) might be followed by an exit section The remaining code is the remainder section The critical section problem is to design a protocol that the processes can use so that their action will not depend on the order in which their execution is interleaved (possibly on many processors)
Framework for analysis of solutions Each process executes at nonzero speed but no assumption on the relative speed of n processes General structure of a process: many CPU may be present but memory hardware prevents simultaneous access to the same memory location No assumption about order of interleaved execution For solutions: we need to specify entry and exit sections repeat entry section critical section exit section remainder section forever
Requirements for a valid solution to the critical section problem Mutual Exclusion –At any time, at most one process can be in its critical section (CS) Progress –Only processes that are not executing in their RS can participate in the decision of who will enter next in the CS. –This selection cannot be postponed indefinitely Hence, we must have no deadlock
Requirements for a valid solution to the critical section problem (cont.) Bounded Waiting –After a process has made a request to enter it's CS, there is a bound on the number of times that the other processes are allowed to enter their CS otherwise the process will suffer from starvation
What about process failures? If all 3 criteria (ME, progress, bounded waiting) are satisfied, then a valid solution will provide robustness against failure of a process in its remainder section (RS) –since failure in RS is just like having an infinitely long RS However, no valid solution can provide robustness against a process failing in its critical section (CS) –A process Pi that fails in its CS does not signal that fact to other processes: for them Pi is still in its CS
Types of solutions Software solutions –algorithms who's correctness does not rely on any other assumptions (see framework) Hardware solutions –rely on some special machine instructions Operation System solutions –provide some functions and data structures to the programmer
Drawbacks of software solutions Processes that are requesting to enter in their critical section are busy waiting (consuming processor time needlessly) If Critical Sections are long, it would be more efficient to block processes that are waiting...
Hardware solutions: interrupt disabling On a uniprocessor: mutual exclusion is preserved but efficiency of execution is degraded: while in CS, we cannot interleave execution with other processes that are in RS On a multiprocessor: mutual exclusion is not preserved –CS is now atomic but not mutually exclusive –Generally not an acceptable solution Process Pi: repeat disable interrupts critical section enable interrupts remainder section forever
Hardware solutions: special machine instructions Normally, access to a memory location excludes other access to that same location Extension: designers have proposed machines instructions that perform 2 actions atomically (indivisible) on the same memory location (ex: reading and writing) The execution of such an instruction is also mutually exclusive (even with multiple CPUs) They can be used to provide mutual exclusion but need to be complemented by other mechanisms to satisfy the other 2 requirements of the CS problem (and avoid starvation and deadlock)
The test-and-set instruction A C++ description of test-and-set: An algorithm that uses testset for Mutual Exclusion: Shared variable b is initialized to 0 Only the first Pi who sets b enter CS bool testset(int& i) { if (i==0) { i=1; return true; } else { return false; } Process Pi: repeat repeat{} until testset(b); CS b:=0; RS forever
The test-and-set instruction (cont.) Mutual exclusion is preserved: if Pi enter CS, the other Pj are busy waiting Problem: still using busy waiting When Pi exit CS, the selection of the Pj who will enter CS is arbitrary: no bounded waiting. Hence starvation is possible Processors (ex: Pentium) often provide an atomic xchg(a,b) instruction that swaps the content of a and b. But xchg(a,b) suffers from the same drawbacks as test-and-set
Using xchg for mutual exclusion Shared variable b is initialized to 0 Each Pi has a local variable k The only Pi that can enter CS is the one who finds b=0 This Pi excludes all the other Pj by setting b to 1 Process Pi: repeat k:=1 repeat xchg(k,b) until k=0; CS b:=0; RS forever
Mutual Exclusion Machine Instructions Advantages –Applicable to any number of processes on either a single processor or multiple processors sharing main memory –It is simple and therefore easy to verify –It can be used to support multiple critical sections
Mutual Exclusion Machine Instructions Disadvantages –Busy-waiting consumes processor time –Starvation is possible when a process leaves a critical section and more than one process is waiting. –Deadlock If a low priority process has the critical region and a higher priority process needs, the higher priority process will obtain the processor to wait for the critical region
Spin-locks (busy waiting) _inefficient on uniprocessors: waste CPU cycles _on multiprocessors cache coherence effects can make them inefficient Problem:lock = false /* init */ while (TST(lock)==TRUE);/* busy waiting to get the lock cause bus contention*/ lock = false;/* unlock */ 1st solution:lock = false /* init */ while (lock == TRUE || TST(lock)==TRUE); /* spinning is done in cache if lock is busy */ lock = false;/* unlock */
Cache coherence effect _TST causes cache invalidations even if unsuccessful _1st solution: keeps spinning in the cache as long as the lock is busy _at release, lock is invalidated, each processor incurs a read miss _first processor resolving the miss acquires the lock _those processors which pass the spinning in the cache but fail on TST generate more cache misses _partial solution: introduce random delays
Spinning vs blocking _spinning is good when no other thread waits for the processor or the lock is quickly release _blocking is expensive but necessary to allow concurrent threads to run (especially if one happens to hold the lock) _combine spinning with blocking: when a thread fails to acquire a lock it spins for some time then blocks _if the time spend in spinning is equal to a context switch the scheme is 2-competitive _more sophisticated adaptive schemes based on the observed lock-waiting time
OS Solutions: Semaphores Synchronization tool (provided by the OS) that do not require busy waiting A semaphore S is an integer variable that, apart from initialization, can only be accessed through 2 atomic and mutually exclusive operations: –wait(S) –signal(S) To avoid busy waiting: when a process has to wait, it will be put in a blocked queue of processes waiting for the same event
Semaphores Hence, in fact, a semaphore is a record (structure): type semaphore = record count: integer; queue: list of process end; var S: semaphore; When a process must wait for a semaphore S, it is blocked and put on the semaphore's queue The signal operation removes (acc. to a fair policy like FIFO) one process from the queue and puts it in the list of ready processes
Semaphore's operations wait(S): S.count--; if (S.count<0) { block this process place this process in S.queue } signal(S): S.count++; if (S.count<=0) { remove a process P from S.queue place this process P on ready list } S.count must be initialized to a nonnegative value (depending on application)
Semaphores: observations When S.count >=0: the number of processes that can execute wait(S) without being blocked = S.count When S.count<0: the number of processes waiting on S is = |S.count| Atomicity and mutual exclusion: no 2 process can be in wait(S) and signal(S) (on the same S) at the same time (even with multiple CPUs) Hence the blocks of code defining wait(S) and signal(S) are, in fact, critical sections
Semaphores: observations The critical sections defined by wait(S) and signal(S) are very short: typically 10 instructions Solutions: –uniprocessor: disable interrupts during these operations (ie: for a very short period). This does not work on a multiprocessor machine. –multiprocessor: use previous software or hardware schemes. The amount of busy waiting should be small.
Using semaphores for solving critical section problems For n processes Initialize S.count to 1 Then only 1 process is allowed into CS (mutual exclusion) To allow k processes into CS, we initialize S.count to k Process Pi: repeat wait(S); CS signal(S); RS forever
Using semaphores to synchronize processes We have 2 processes: P1 and P2 Statement S1 in P1 needs to be performed before statement S2 in P2 Then define a semaphore "synch" Initialize synch to 0 Proper synchronization is achieved by having in P1: S1; signal(synch); And having in P2: wait(synch); S2;
The producer/consumer problem A producer process produces information that is consumed by a consumer process –Ex1: a print program produces characters that are consumed by a printer –Ex2: an assembler produces object modules that are consumed by a loader We need a buffer to hold items that are produced and eventually consumed A common paradigm for cooperating processes
P/C: unbounded buffer We assume first an unbounded buffer consisting of a linear array of elements in points to the next item to be produced out points to the next item to be consumed
P/C: unbounded buffer We need a semaphore S to perform mutual exclusion on the buffer: only 1 process at a time can access the buffer We need another semaphore N to synchronize producer and consumer on the number N (= in - out) of items in the buffer –an item can be consumed only after it has been created
P/C: unbounded buffer The producer is free to add an item into the buffer at any time: it performs wait(S) before appending and signal(S) afterwards to prevent customer access It also performs signal(N) after each append to increment N The consumer must first do wait(N) to see if there is an item to consume and use wait(S)/signal(S) to access the buffer
Solution of P/C: unbounded buffer Producer: repeat produce v; wait(S); append(v); signal(S); signal(N); forever Consumer: repeat wait(N); wait(S); w:=take(); signal(S); consume(w); forever Initialization: S.count:=1; N.count:=0; in:=out:=0; critical sections append(v): b[in]:=v; in++; take(): w:=b[out]; out++; return w;
P/C: unbounded buffer Remarks: –Putting signal(N) inside the CS of the producer (instead of outside) has no effect since the consumer must always wait for both semaphores before proceeding –The consumer must perform wait(N) before wait(S), otherwise deadlock occurs if consumer enter CS while the buffer is empty Using semaphores is a difficult art...
P/C: finite circular buffer of size k can consume only when number N of (consumable) items is at least 1 (now: N!=in-out) can produce only when number E of empty spaces is at least 1
P/C: finite circular buffer of size k As before: –we need a semaphore S to have mutual exclusion on buffer access –we need a semaphore N to synchronize producer and consumer on the number of consumable items In addition: –we need a semaphore E to synchronize producer and consumer on the number of empty spaces
Solution of P/C: finite circular buffer of size k Initialization: S.count:=1; in:=0; N.count:=0; out:=0; E.count:=k; Producer: repeat produce v; wait(E); wait(S); append(v); signal(S); signal(N); forever Consumer: repeat wait(N); wait(S); w:=take(); signal(S); signal(E); consume(w); forever critical sections append(v): b[in]:=v; in:=(in+1) mod k; take(): w:=b[out]; out:=(out+1) mod k; return w;
The Dining Philosophers Problem 5 philosophers who only eat and think each need to use 2 forks for eating we have only 5 forks A classical synchron. problem Illustrates the difficulty of allocating resources among process without deadlock and starvation
The Dining Philosophers Problem Each philosopher is a process One semaphore per fork: –fork: array[0..4] of semaphores –Initialization: fork[i].count:=1 for i:=0..4 A first attempt: Deadlock if each philosopher start by picking his left fork! Process Pi: repeat think; wait(fork[i]); wait(fork[i+1 mod 5]); eat; signal(fork[i+1 mod 5]); signal(fork[i]); forever
The Dining Philosophers Problem A solution: admit only 4 philosophers at a time that tries to eat Then 1 philosopher can always eat when the other 3 are holding 1 fork Hence, we can use another semaphore T that would limit at 4 the number of philosophers "sitting at the table" Initialize: T.count:=4 Process Pi: repeat think; wait(T); wait(fork[i]); wait(fork[i+1 mod 5]); eat; signal(fork[i+1 mod 5]); signal(fork[i]); signal(T); forever
Binary semaphores The semaphores we have studied are called counting (or integer) semaphores We have also binary semaphores –similar to counting semaphores except that "count" is Boolean valued –counting semaphores can be implemented by binary semaphores... –generally more difficult to use than counting semaphores (eg: they cannot be initialized to an integer k > 1)
Binary semaphores waitB(S): if (S.value = 1) { S.value := 0; } else { block this process place this process in S.queue } signalB(S): if (S.queue is empty) { S.value := 1; } else { remove a process P from S.queue place this process P on ready list }
Problems with semaphores semaphores provide a powerful tool for enforcing mutual exclusion and coordinate processes But wait(S) and signal(S) are scattered among several processes. Hence, difficult to understand their effects Usage must be correct in all the processes One bad (or malicious) process can fail the entire collection of processes
Monitors Are high-level language constructs that provide equivalent functionality to that of semaphores but are easier to control Found in many concurrent programming languages Concurrent Pascal, Modula-3, uC++, Java... Can be implemented by semaphores...
Monitor Is a software module containing: –one or more procedures –an initialization sequence –local data variables Characteristics: –local variables accessible only by monitor's procedures –a process enters the monitor by invoking one of it's procedures –only one process can be in the monitor at any one time
Monitor The monitor ensures mutual exclusion: no need to program this constraint explicitly Hence, shared data are protected by placing them in the monitor –The monitor locks the shared data on process entry Process synchronization is done by the programmer by using condition variables that represent conditions a process may need to wait for before executing in the monitor
Condition variables are local to the monitor (accessible only within the monitor) can be access and changed only by two functions: –cwait(a): blocks execution of the calling process on condition (variable) a the process can resume execution only if another process executes csignal(a) –csignal(a): resume execution of some process blocked on condition (variable) a. If several such process exists: choose any one If no such process exists: do nothing
Monitor Awaiting processes are either in the entrance queue or in a condition queue A process puts itself into condition queue cn by issuing cwait(cn) csignal(cn) brings into the monitor 1 process in condition cn queue Hence csignal(cn) blocks the calling process and puts it in the urgent queue (unless csignal is the last operation of the monitor procedure)
Producer/Consumer problem Two types of processes: –producers –consumers Synchronization is now confined within the monitor append(.) and take(.) are procedures within the monitor: are the only means by which P/C can access the buffer If these procedures are correct, synchronization will be correct for all participating processes ProducerI: repeat produce v; Append(v); forever ConsumerI: repeat Take(v); consume v; forever
Monitor for the bounded P/C problem Monitor needs to hold the buffer: –buffer: array[0..k-1] of items; needs two condition variables: –notfull: csignal(notfull) indicates that the buffer is not full –notemty: csignal(notempty) indicates that the buffer is not empty needs buffer pointers and counts: –nextin: points to next item to be appended –nextout: points to next item to be taken –count: holds the number of items in buffer
Monitor for the bounded P/C problem Monitor boundedbuffer: buffer: array[0..k-1] of items; nextin:=0, nextout:=0, count:=0: integer; notfull, notempty: condition; Append(v): if (count=k) cwait(notfull); buffer[nextin]:= v; nextin:= nextin+1 mod k; count++; csignal(notempty); Take(v): if (count=0) cwait(notempty); v:= buffer[nextout]; nextout:= nextout+1 mod k; count--; csignal(notfull);
Message Passing Is a general method used for interprocess communication (IPC) –for processes inside the same computer –for processes in a distributed system Yet another mean to provide process synchronization and mutual exclusion We have at least two primitives: –send(destination, message) –received(source, message) In both cases, the process may or may not be blocked
Synchronization in message passing For the sender: it is more natural not to be blocked after issuing send(.,.) –can send several messages to multiple dest. –but sender usually expect acknowledgment of message receipt (in case receiver fails) For the receiver: it is more natural to be blocked after issuing receive(.,.) –the receiver usually needs the info before proceeding –but could be blocked indefinitely if sender process fails before send(.,.)
Synchronization in message passing Hence other possibilities are sometimes offered Ex: blocking send, blocking receive: –both are blocked until the message is received –occurs when the communication link is unbuffered (no message queue) –provides tight synchronization (rendez- vous)
Addressing in message passing direct addressing: –when a specific process identifier is used for source/destination –but it might be impossible to specify the source ahead of time (ex: a print server) indirect addressing (more convenient): –messages are sent to a shared mailbox which consists of a queue of messages –senders place messages in the mailbox, receivers pick them up
Enforcing mutual exclusion with message passing create a mailbox mutex shared by n processes send() is non blocking receive() blocks when mutex is empty Initialization: send(mutex, "go"); The first Pi who executes receive() will enter CS. Others will be blocked until Pi resends msg. Process Pi: var msg: message; repeat receive(mutex,msg); CS send(mutex,msg); RS forever
The bounded-buffer P/C problem with message passing We will now make use of messages The producer place items (inside messages) in the mailbox mayconsume mayconsume acts as our buffer: consumer can consume item when at least one message is present Mailbox mayproduce is filled initially with k null messages (k= buffer size) The size of mayproduce shrinks with each production and grows with each consumption can support multiple producers/consumers
The bounded-buffer P/C problem with message passing Producer: var pmsg: message; repeat receive(mayproduce, pmsg); pmsg:= produce(); send(mayconsume, pmsg); forever Consumer: var cmsg: message; repeat receive(mayconsume, cmsg); consume(cmsg); send(mayproduce, null); forever
Kernel emulation of atomic operation on uniprocessors _kernel can emulate a read-modify-write instruction in the process address space because it can avoid rescheduling _the solution is pessimistic and expensive _optimistic approach: _ define restartable atomic sequences (RAS) _ practically no overhead if no interrupts _ recognize when an interrupt occurs and restart the sequence _ needs kernels support to register (RAS) and detect thread switching in RAS
TST emulation using RAS Test_and_set(p) { int result; result = 1; BEGIN RAS if (p==1) result = 0; else p = 1; END RAS return result; }
Unix SVR4 concurrency mechanisms To communicate data across processes: –Pipes –Messages –Shared memory To trigger actions by other processes: –Signals –Semaphores
Unix Pipes A shared bounded FIFO queue written by one process and read by another –based on the producer/consumer model –OS enforces Mutual Exclusion: only one process at a time can access the pipe –if there is not enough room to write, the producer is blocked, else he writes –consumer is blocked if attempting to read more bytes that are currently in the pipe –accessed by a file descriptor, like an ordinary file –processes sharing the pipe are unaware of each other's existence
Unix Messages A process can create or access a message queue (like a mailbox) with the msgget system call. msgsnd and msgrcv system calls are used to send and receive messages to a queue There is a "type" field in message headers –FIFO access within each message type –each type defines a communication channel Process is blocked (put asleep) when: –trying to receive from an empty queue –trying to send to a full queue
Shared memory in Unix A block of virtual memory shared by multiple processes The shmget system call creates a new region of shared memory or return an existing one A process attaches a shared memory region to its virtual address space with the shmat system call Mutual exclusion must be provided by processes using the shared memory Fastest form of IPC provided by Unix
Unix signals Similar to hardware interrupts without priorities Each signal is represented by a numeric value. Ex: –02, SIGINT: to interrupt a process –09, SIGKILL: to terminate a process Each signal is maintained as a single bit in the process table entry of the receiving process: the bit is set when the corresponding signal arrives (no waiting queues) A signal is processed as soon as the process runs in user mode A default action (eg: termination) is performed unless a signal handler function is provided for that signal (by using the signal system call)
Unix Semaphores Are a generalization of the counting semaphores (more operations are permitted). A semaphore includes: –the current value S of the semaphore –number of processes waiting for S to increase –number of processes waiting for S to be 0 We have queues of processes that are blocked on a semaphore The system call semget creates an array of semaphores The system call semop performs a list of operations: one on each semaphore (atomically)

Top 20 Conspiracy Theories That Have Already Sprung Up Around President Obama's Birth Certificate
Well, that didn't take long. All of the purported inconsistencies and mysterious anomalies with President Obama's long form birth certificate. And this is only within the first few hours of the document's release. Give the Birthers a few days to come up with some really juicy stuff. Between this and the conspiracy theories about Osama bin Laden's death, they're going to be very busy.
1. The patterned background is too seamless for a document kept in a bound volume.
2. The "Date Accepted" is four days later than "Date of Birth."
3. Smudges in box next to name of attendant.
4. M.D. who signed the document conveniently died eight years ago.
5. Two mysterious Xs above "twin" and "triplet."
6. Unexplained "8991" on document's right side.
7. "41" at to right of document looks suspicious.
8. Birth certificate of someone born at the same hospital a day later has a lower number.
9. There is no official seal.
10. Still says "Certificate of Live Birth."
11. Instead of "African" under father's race, "Colored" or "Negro" would have been used in 1961.
12. The type for "Caucasian" is too perfect, not possible for a typewriter from 1961.
13. No footprint.
14. No birth weight.
15. Signature of mother and attendant are too similar.
16. Under hour of birth, the "M." in "P.M." is a different font.
17. Address for Obama's childhood home is the middle of a highway.
18. Hawaii's Governor until recently claimed there was no birth certificate.
19. Obviously Photoshopped. Layers!
20. We all know his real name is Barry Saetoro and he changed his name to Barack Obama after visiting Pakistan.
All of these theories have been culled from The Smoking Gun's article on the birth certificate and the resulting comments.

Lord Taylor, the Lord Chief Justice, said the judges who jailed Simon Rayner and David Wing had passed 'wholly inadequate' sentences.
Rayner, 33, of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, pleaded guilty at Leeds Crown Court last May to causing the death of Michael Bray by dangerous driving.
His alcohol level was three times the limit when his car mounted the pavement killing Mr Bray.
Wing, 40, of Stockton-on- Tees, Cleveland, was jailed at Teesside Crown Court in last June for causing the death of Shirley Poulton by careless driving while two-and-a-half times over the alcohol limit. Mrs Poulton had been walking her dog on a footpath.
Lord Taylor, sitting with Mr Justice Scott Baker and Mr Justice Longmore, said they were applying guidelines laid down recently by the Court of Appeal after the Government a year ago increased the maximum sentence for causing death by dangerous driving from 5 to 10 years.
The guidelines said those who killed through reckless disregard for the safety of others must expect to lose their liberty for upwards of five years. Lord Taylor said the four-year jail terms passed yesterday took into account the fact that Rayner and Wing had faced the 'double jeopardy' of being sentenced a second time and should not be taken as the proper level of sentencing by trial judges.

The Legend of Jelly Bean and the Unbreakable Egg
The Legend of Jelly Bean and the Unbreakable Egg:
A Holiday Hill Farm Book by Joe Trolano, illustrated by Susan Banta
(DJ Inkers Clip Art)
I received this book from a friend and teaching colleague and I knew right away that it would be the perfect seasonal book for young children.
Here's a Peek Into the Story:
Five fluffy chicks peck, poke, and whack a friend who is not ready to hatch! Much to their dismay, the unbreakable egg is collected by the farmer. The chicks follow the farmer to rescue Chick Six, but not before falling into the Easter egg dye. Finally, these colorful chicks receive a colorful surprise when the sixth chick Jelly Bean makes an appearance.
Teamwork and kindness are the messages received from this great seasonal story!
My Preschoolers loved this story! Here's a Look At What We Did:
Colorful Shape Inspired Egg Hunt
(Source for
Geometric Shapes 10" Jumbo Designer Cut-Outs)
rce for
Geometric Shapes 1" Mini Designer Cut-Outs)
Prior to the start of the lesson, I hid many plastic eggs. The children found the eggs and opened each egg to reveal a small shape cut-out. The children were asked to identify and sort these shapes and to place the egg in the colored buckets.
Jelly Bean Sorting With Our Very Own Jelly Bean Chicks
Each child received these cute plastic chick eggs full of jelly beans to sort and to eat!
(Jelly Bean Sorting Mat Source)
Jelly Bean Chick Art
These colorful chicks were made from
coffee filters
Ask K-2 students to write about their own unbreakable egg, complete a written retelling of the story, identify and explain their favorite part of the book, and make connections to self, text, or the real world.

Wrapping Up The St. Patrick's Day Fun
These books were perfect for exploring and learning about the color green and shamrocks galore!
Using these great products from Creative Teaching Press
here's a quick look at more of our preschool activities for
St. Patrick's Day!
March-Poppin'Patterns Seasonal Calendar Days
were the perfect accents for these seasonal counting workmats.
(I glued the calendar number to the center of a
Shamrock 10" Designer Cut-Outs
ahead of time.)
The children used gold coins and two-color calendar cut-outs to count sets.
We turned the shamrocks over and used a die to practice our counting skills too!
March- Poppin'Patterns Seasonal Calendar Days
were the perfect accents for these seasonal bingo cards.
The bingo cards were used with the preschoolers to reinforce number recognition.
These same cards could easily be used for addition and subtraction practice with kindergarten and first grade students.
We worked on letter recognition using the
two-color shamrock calendar cut-outs
The child tossed a pom pom onto the card and named the letter.
Some of the students also practiced individual letter sounds.
We played hopscotch on a field of shamrocks and
matched the upper and lowercase letters.
We counted shamrocks and made sets.
We had fun with patterns.
We matched shapes!
We continued our work with colors and patterns and made our own Shamrock Necklaces for a little St. Patrick's Day parade!
Wow, it was a great week of fun and learning!
Thank you, Creative Teaching Press!

How do I manage my ex wife? Wind up issues..
(17 Posts)My ex and I split up 5 yrs ago. We had 2 DD's now 9 and 11.
The problem is she (in my mind) always takes the piss, manipulates pick up times and drop off times to suit her. She's always late/changes plans and generally only gives me a "this is what I decided" type call, the kind where I am left feeling like its me who objects, has to say no or is causing the problem.
I find it hard to reason with her because of her past record and so am probably defensive from the off, but even after I calm down and try to respond rationally, by email or text or phone call, I start to get wound up as I feel I am pacifying her.
She seems to think we ought to be friends but IME she does this to everyone so I don't see how being friends or not has anything to do with it.
Would it help to send her an email saying "I would like us to reach an agreement about regular pick up and drop off times to suit both of us"? Get it in writing and then you have more of a leg to stand on?
Was a contact schedule agreed at the time of the divorce and was it drawn up legally? If not, that could be the route to take now. Manipulative, attention-seeking or bullying behaviour is very wearing. Wanting to be friends is not on the cards. Best to engage purely on a factual level and avoid anything that says 'you are getting to me' as that is precisely the point i.e to make you suffer. Nothing cuts head-fuckery down like the words 'talk to my solicitor'.
I agree with Cogito and Cailin.
Keep it in writing, keep it formal and keep a sensible distance. Hard to be 'friends' when somebody isn't acting like one.
In writing.
All of it.
XW used to change appointments and lie to DS/DD about what I'd said/she said.
In the end, it went to her as open letters, which I let the kids read themselves.
Ok so I've just sent a text, in response to 3 very lengthy "lectures" saying, sorry we argued let's move on.
The thing is it's not like I dont get the result I want at times, it's just that she makes me fight for every inch. I can't afford lawyers letters tbh and that seems like very final step.
I wrote her an email last week saying that she is not to phone me and tell me she misses the kids when they are with me, and can I bring them back early, as she is the one that caused the split in the first place.
I have come to really dislike her so I need a coping strategy on how to stay cool, not feel like I'm getting ripped off.
A contact schedule was agreed in the Divorce although she is under the impression that the "minimum" is the same as "allocated". She doesn't stop me seeing them it's just constant pissing around.
It's worth spending on a few lawyers' letters than carrying on in the mistaken belief that you can reason with an unreasonable person. She sounds like she wants to believe she can click her fingers and you'll still come running. No more texts.... e-mails that you can print out and keep.
She sounds like a chore. You are right about her asking for the children back early. Just ignore texts like that.
thanks for the advice, I'm just sat here feeling utterly miserable about it. The last thing I need to to be falling ut with people evern her. She never seems to accept that she does anything wrong just that it's my fault for arguing with her and then has a go at me because "she gave in" but I think she needn't have asked in the first place.
It is miserable. What's even more miserable is that this has gone on for five years already. That's why you have to step back, stop engaging, keep careful records and, if she caries on regardless, pay for someone else to do your arguing on your behalf.
Tell me... have you managed to move on since your divorce? Got a new partner? Has this behaviour escalated coinciding with any positive changes in your life? Or are you still stuck exactly where you were five years ago because you're hamstrung by this behaviour?
Oh god you're really playing the who caused the split card after 5 years?!
What is the contact arrangement? If she looks after them most of the time and you have a weekend a fortnight then I would expect there to be an element of telling you about decisions because she is the one making them. If it is 50/50 then it should be more collaborative.
You don't have to be friends, contact should be agreed and stuck to ideally with a bit of mutual flexibility but if that is not possible then stuck to religiously.
Don't answer you phone on your contact time, keep things in writing where possible and make sure you're whiter than white when it comes to punctuality and behaviour.
Your use of the word 'manage' is ill-chosen I think.
I think it's your own behaviour that you have the power to manage.
My xh is very difficult, very self-pitying, very controlling, but I can't attempt to manage him. It's not possible. All I can do is behave well myself, not react to his petty digs, not let his lack of respect for me upset or affect me. I keep communication to the absolute minimum. The Where. The When. I don't push unimportant stuff just to make a point but I fought him like a fleet of tanks in court
We are so distanced from each other now that he has become like a stranger. That is a result of years of not communicating. It takes work, but there's freedom in it. I have forgiven more than most people will experience in a nightmare.
Yes you can manage your reaction to it. Don't get into those discussions. Your answer to her saying she misses them (if you have to give one) "Of course you do. I can understand that, see you at X o clock" End of.
Do the factual stuff, try to compartmentalise the bits that get to you, work out whether any changes are for your DDs benefit or for hers. If they are for the DDs then be the bigger person or offer to do what is required i.e. parties, play dates.
No point in endless letters via solicitors, but a mediated conversation may help.
In a couple of years time the DDs will be calling the shots to a greater extent
Yes I realise the word manage ought to read "cope with" it just that I "manage" people the whole live long day so force of habit.
Thanks for the advice, I haven't asked on here before as I read other peoples' issues and mine seem quite small in comparison. I've just had a shit time recently and today's repeat engagement really got to me.
I think she is engaging you in battle, not deliberately, it's just the way she wants your relationship to be. No doubt other posters have told you to disengage. She needs someone to ruffle up. She can't let you go. She needs to do this for all your sakes. I wonder if it's worth pursuing a counselling course for separated parents?
Beware of feeling 'ripped off'. I'm sure you do feel like that, but remember you're not just a spare parent to dds, you are their Dad and vital to the whole family. Learn to let exw's comments wash, be businesslike about arrangements, save email copies and tell her that you have this information if ever a court case is required. She needs to take responsibility for her actions.
Good luck.
