In a recent interview, Michelle Obama sat down with Makers to talk about her life on the South Side of Chicago and the importance of being the First Lady of the United States. She also shared that her most profound moment as FLOTUS was when her husband President Barack Obama was inaugurated into office on Jan 20, 2009.
"It was one of the coldest January's that I've spent here in Washington D.C., it was freezing. I really remember what it felt like to walk onto the steps of the capital and stand there with Barack as he took the Oval Office and look out at what felt like endless amounts of people standing as far as the eye could see. From every race, age, background you could imagine would come from every corner of the country just to witness this historic moment. It was probably one of the most profoundly moving experiences that I have ever had," she says.
On being First Lady:
"This role has been such a gift, because it brings with it this big bright spotlight and that's why I have worked hard to choose work on issues that I care deeply about, that I feel really defines me or that I'm connected with that will really make a difference."
On not growing up with a lot of money:
"But my brother and I were blessed with something far more valuable than [money] because my parents gave us unconditional love and encouragement to go places they never imagined for them."
On school being the center of their lives:
"Neither of them had a college degree, but they made it very clear that they expected me and my brother to get the best education possible. So school was always always the center of our lives. So I made it my point to give it 120 percent."
We love you Michelle!

Quantum computer allows you to see "multiple futures"
Monday, November 18, 2019 by: Edsel Cook
Tags: breakthrough, computers, discoveries, future tech, innovation, Quantum Computers, quantum mechanics, quantum prediction engine, quantum superposition, qubits, science and technology
(Natural News) Quantum computers might one day predict the future. While looking at more than 14 million possible futures remains out of reach, the quantum simulator used by Singaporean researchers proved capable of viewing 16 different outcomes.
Traditional computers code data as binary digits (bits) of either 0 or 1. Their quantum counterparts store information into quantum bits (qubits).
Qubits are subatomic particles that exist in a "superposition." They appear in two different states simultaneously.
Thanks to this property, a qubit may represent both 0 and 1 until it gets measured. By cramming more data in individual storage units, a quantum computer saves on memory, freeing up more resources for making complex calculations.
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) used these properties to develop a quantum simulator. Their computer predicted the outcomes of 16 potential futures in a quantum superposition.
NTU researcher Mile Gu and his team stored these different futures in a single photon. They sent the quantum particle of light down several routes at the same time under the scrutiny of sensors.
Next, they used two photons instead of one. They fired the particles side-by-side and monitored how the possible futures deviated thanks to minor changes. (Related: Quantum computer time machine: Russian physicists can move small particles a fraction of a second into the past.)
Quantum computers can view multiple possible futures at the same time
Gu likened their experiment to Doctor Strange's clairvoyance in the movie "Avengers: Infinity War." In that film, the superhero browsed through over 14 million different futures for the best way to defeat the villain.
"He does a combined computation of all these possibilities to say, 'OK, if I changed my decision in this small way, how much will the future change?'," he said in an interview. "This is the direction our simulation is moving forwards to."
The NTU team put their "quantum prediction engine" through a test less strenuous than stopping Thanos. They used the perturbed coin model to test the simulator's ability to predict the future.
In the model, an imaginary box contained a lone coin. During each step of the process, the box got shaken up, leading to a small chance of the coin flipping.
In a traditional toss, the chances of the coin ending up heads or tails are 50/50. The perturbed coin model, on the other hand, modified the outcome of each toss based on the state of the coin during the earlier step.
Future quantum prediction engines may predict the weather and the stock market
The NTU experiment applied a twist to the perturbed coin model. The researchers ran two versions – in one, they shook the box more energetically, while they jiggled it less roughly in the other.
During each approach, the team shook the box four times. They produced 16 potential sequences of heads and tails for every version.
Following the fourth instance of shaking the container, they stored the superposition of all 16 possibilities in a single photon. The qubit simultaneously showed the chances of every probable result in each version.
Finally, the Singaporean researchers made a master map of all 32 possible outcomes by putting together the superpositions of the strongly shaken and weakly shaken versions.
"This showed us how quickly the futures diverged depending on how hard I shook the box at each step," Gu remarked.
Processing power is the main bottleneck of the quantum prediction engine. The NTU quantum computer had enough computing power to view up to 16 possible futures at the same time.
New generations of quantum computers will grow even more powerful. Their enhanced processing power will open up many more possible futures for simultaneous viewing.
Possible uses for the quantum prediction engines include predicting the weather and guiding financial investments in the stock market.

The Irishman, Ford v. Ferrari, The Two Popes, Parasite to be Honored at Hollywood Film Awards
By: HollywoodNews.com
Hollywood, CA (October 15, 2019) – The Hollywood Film Awards announced today that some of this year's brightest talent from behind the camera will be honored at the 23rd Annual "Hollywood Film Awards." Writer/Director/Producer Bong Joon Ho will receive the "Hollywood Filmmaker Award" for the Palme d'Or winner "Parasite," which opened to record-breaking box office and is being hailed by critics as one of the best movies of the year. Emma Tillinger Koskoff, longtime producing partner of Martin Scorsese, will be receiving the "Hollywood Producer Award" for "The Irishman." Critics have been calling the film a masterpiece since opening the New York Film Festival. It is one of several films Koskoff has produced this year. James Mangold will receive the "Hollywood Director Award" for "Ford v Ferrari," which already has audiences buzzing with excitement and Anthony McCarten, whose words have paved the way for many award-winning acting turns, will receive the "Hollywood Screenwriter Award" for "The Two Popes." Actor and comedian Rob Riggle will host the ceremony, which will take place on Sunday, November 3, 2019 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA.
ABOUT THE HONOREES
"Parasite," which won the Palme d"Or at this year's Cannes International Film Festival and has grossed over $91 million globally to date, is the seventh feature film from acclaimed writer / director Bong Joon Ho. His celebrated filmography includes "Barking Dogs Never Bite" (2000), "Memories of Murder" (2003), "The Host" (2006), "Mother"(2009), "Snowpiercer" (2013) and "Okja" (2017). The modern-day classic "Memories of Murder" delves into the investigation behind a well-known serial murder case that was never solved, depicting the authoritarian era of the time with satire and sharp insight. "The Host" takes as its basis the abduction of a young girl by a strange creature that crawls out of the Han River, turning the monster movie genre on its head while also issuing stinging social commentary. "Mother," the story of a woman trying to protect her son from a murder charge, is a dark portrait of motherly love taken to the extreme, while the SF film "Snowpiercer" portrays the last remnants of humanity in a future world that has been frozen over due to mankind's overdone efforts to fix global warming. Finally, "Okja" tells of the country girl Mija's adventure to rescue the genetically-engineered "super pig" she raised from the profit-driven corporation that owns it.
Known for his vision, socially incisive wit and twisting of genre conventions, Bong Joon Ho has continually raised questions about social institutions and the inequities of society with his unique blend of humor, emotion and suspense. In this sense, "Parasite" is both highly characteristic of Bong Joon Ho's work, while at the same time evolving to a new level that has gripped audiences and critics alike since its debut at Cannes.
Emma Tillinger Koskoff (Producer) is President of Production for Sikelia Productions, working alongside Academy Award winning director Martin Scorsese on all aspects of his film and television projects. Koskoff was nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe, and PGA award for "The Wolf of Wall Street." She won an Emmy award in 2011 for "George Harrison: Living in the Material World. "
Her credits include: "The Irishman," "Joker," "Uncut Gems," "Port Authority," "The Souvenir" Part 1 and 2, "The Ciambra," "Long Strange Trip," "Silence," "Bleed For This," "Vinyl," "Bad Hurt," "The Wolf of Wall Street," "Hugo," "George Harrison: Living in the Material World," "Boardwalk Empire," "A Letter To Elia," "Public Speaking," "Shutter Island," "Shine A Light," "The Betrayal," and "The Departed."
Koskoff, who began her career assisting director/producer Ted Demme, is currently in pre-production on Martin Scorsese's "Killers of The Flower Moon," which will star Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
James Mangold (Director, Producer) is an Oscar nominated writer and director whose work defies easy categorization. Leapfrogging from Sundance indie to cop noir, psychological drama to romantic fantasy, pulp horror to musical biopic, traditional western to round the world caper, two films starring a beloved Marvel hero, and now, with his tenth feature, "Ford v Ferrari," Mangold continues to expand his repertoire while keeping constant the humanist themes, intimate moving performances, striking imagery and staging that have come to define and unify his work. Award winning films Mangold has written and directed include "Heavy," "Cop Land," "Girl Interrupted," "Walk the Line," "3:10 to Yuma," and "Logan."
Anthony McCarten is a three-time Academy Award nominee and BAFTA-winning screenwriter and producer. A true master of the biopic, McCarten has continually proven his innate ability to craft stories about a wide array of notable figures in a profoundly intimate way that reveals the most human, relatable sides of their lives. Impressively, McCarten's last three screenplays have garnered Academy Award wins for each of their respective lead actors and Best Picture nominations for all three features as well.
McCarten's next film will be Netflix's "The Two Popes," set for release this Fall. Another biopic written by McCarten, the film centers on Pope Benedict XVI, played by Anthony Hopkins, and Pope Francis, played by Jonathan Pryce, exploring a rare moment when, for the first time in 700 years, two Popes were alive at the same time. Last year, McCarten's film "Bohemian Rhapsody" defied expectations to become a global phenomenon, earning over $900 million at the worldwide box-office. A celebration of Queen and its legendary lead singer, the film traces the meteoric rise of the rock band, who so brazenly defied stereotypes and shattered convention, through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. Along with box-office success, the film has been recognized with several awards and nominations including, seven BAFTA nominations, two Golden Globe wins, and the distinction of becoming the most-winning film at this year's Academy Awards®, taking home four out of the five categories it was nominated in. Among McCarten's previous film credits are the acclaimed dramas "Darkest Hour," which centers on Winston Churchill and the early days of World War II, and "The Theory of Everything," an exploration of the life of Professor Stephen Hawking through the lens of his relationship with his first wife, Jane Hawking.
Joon Ho, Koskoff, Mangold, and McCarten join previously announced honorees: Shia LaBeouf who will receive the "Hollywood Breakthrough Screenwriter Award," Taron Egerton will receive the "Hollywood Breakout Actor Award," Cynthia Erivo will receive the "Hollywood Breakout Actress Award," Olivia Wilde will receive the "Hollywood Breakthrough Director Awards," "Toy Story 4" will receive the "Hollywood Animation Award," Mihai Malaimare Jr. will receive the "Hollywood Cinematography Award" for "Jojo Rabbit," Randy Newman will receive the "Hollywood Film Composer Award" for "Marriage Story," Michael McCusker & Andrew Buckland will receive the "Hollywood Editor Award" for "Ford v Ferrari," Pablo Helman will receive the "Hollywood Visual Effects Award" for "The Irishman," Donald Sylvester, Paul Massey, David Giammarco, & Steven A. Morrow will receive the "Hollywood Sound Award" for "Ford v Ferrari," Anna Mary Scott Robbins will receive the "Hollywood Costume Design Award" for "Downton Abbey," Lizzie Yianni-Georgiou, Tapio Salmi, & Barrie Gower will receive the "Hollywood Make-Up & Hair Styling Award" for "Rocketman" and Ra Vincent will receive the "Hollywood Production Design Award" for "Jojo Rabbit."

Q: How to manipulate different charts by angular I have problem with multiple charts using angular to dynamically create them.
HTML:
.
.

                <canvas id="bar" class="chart chart-bar ng-isolate-scope"
                    chart-data="data" chart-labels="labels" chart-series="series">
                </canvas>

                <canvas id="line" class="chart chart-line ng-isolate-scope"
                    chart-data="data" chart-labels="labels" chart-series="series">
                </canvas>

JavaScript:
angular.module("app", ["chart.js"]).controller("lineCtrl", function ($scope, $http) {
    var jsondata = [];
    var jsonLabel = [];
    $http.get(url).then(function (response) {
        var count = 0;
        for (var i = 0; i < response.data.length; i++) {
            var j = response.data[i].Not_fully_compliant;
            var k = response.data[i].Policy;
            count += 1;
            jsondata.push(j);
            jsonLabel.push(count);
        }
    });

    $scope.labels = jsonLabel;
    $scope.series = ['JSON object'];
    $scope.data = [
        jsondata
    ];
});

angular.module("app", ["chart.js"]).controller("barCtrl", function ($scope, $http) {
    var jsondata = [];
    var jsonLabel = [];
    $http.get(url).then(function (response) {
        var count = 0;
        for (var i = 0; i < response.data.length; i++) {
            var j = response.data[i].Not_fully_compliant;
            var k = response.data[i].Policy;
            count += 1;
            jsondata.push(j);
            jsonLabel.push(count);
        }
    });

    $scope.labels = jsonLabel;
    $scope.series = ['JSON object'];
    $scope.data = [
        jsondata
    ];
});

I was trying to manipulate it by ng-controller, but it doesn't work.
I was trying to give different ng-app="names" to select the part of t he code dynamically by the script.
What script does: Connect to the page where JSON object has been generated, pulls out the information and put it into the chart. I was trying to find any useful on the web, but I couldn't find any correct answer showing multiple charts.
I was using this tutorial to create charts: http://jtblin.github.io/angular-chart.js/
. However after inspecting the page and trying to solve how the guy is able to manipulate different charts in the same angular app it still doesn't work.
Error:

Please notice that I didn't put my whole HTML code here, although I presented how it looks like.
Many thanks for your help.

A: You dont have to declare the module again, use the same module with two different controllers,
angular.module("app").controller("barCtrl", function ($scope, $http) {
}

India | Andhra Pradesh | Tirupati
Tirumala Hills
Tirumala, located 148 km from Horsley Hills in Chittoor District, is a pilgrim center famous for its seven hills adjoining the town of Tirupati. It is at an altitude of 3,200 ft above sea level and 11 sq miles in area.
Placed on the Eastern Ghats, the hills are believed to be the seven heads of serpent Adisesha, on which Lord Vishnu rests. They are known by the names Seshadri, Neeladri, Garudadri, Anjanadri, Vrishabhadri, Narayanadri and Venkatadri. A temple complex named Sri Venkateswara is placed on the Venkatadri, where a substantial number of devotees throng every day. An 11 km walk to the top of the hill through sandalwood forests takes the pilgrims to the temple. The name of Lord Vishnu is chanted throughout the walk.
One of the major landmarks of Tirumala is Chandragiri Palace that was built in 1639. A temple dedicated to Lord Kalyana Venkateswaraswamy is at a distance of 36 km. The temple is thought to be the venue of marriage between Lord Vishnu and Goddess Padmavathi. Other prominent sites are Sri Varahaswami Temple, Sri Anjaneyaswami Temple, Silathoranam and TTD Gardens. Besides, a sacred water fall named Akash Ganga is a point of interest.
There are choultries maintained by the temple trust to accommodate pilgrims. Luxury suites, cottages and dormitories are included in the accommodation. The ideal time to visit is from October to March.
The nearest airport is 15 km away in Tirupati and closest railhead is at Renigunta. Bus services are also available.
District: Chittoor
Location: Tirupati

10 Movie Masterpieces That Expand The Possibilities of Cinema
Posted on January 31, 2019 January 31, 2019 by Armin Haracic
According to science, virtual reality pornography is poised to become the greatest piece of entertainment in existence. Yet until that hallowed day comes, we will have to contend with movies. Usually when one charts the progression of cinema; it begins with "The Great Train Robbery" and ends with Jake Paul's white boy raps.
There are some nuggets of innovation in between those massive thresholds such as these following films. Some take flamethrowers to the foundations of cinema while others utilizes very precise and subtle chisels that still alter the filmic landscape in fundamental ways. As we speak, VR Porn is only in its embryonic stages so let's do the next best thing and appreciate some innovative movie masterpieces.
1. Rome Open City (1945)
This movie is one of the progenitors of neo-realism and cinema-verite, where director Roberto Rossellini intricately recreates the horrors inflicted by the Nazi's on Rome as a means of healing from trauma. What is most extraordinary is that "Rome Open City" was filmed as World War II was still going on, with filming done directly on Rome's ravaged landscapes.
The movie's hopeful story of rebellion against the Nazi occupation is punctuated by blunt violence and harrowing despair that becomes even heartrending with one realizes that such pain was still fresh within the cast and crew's minds. "Rome Open City" paved the way for cinema to be an instrument to process trauma, wherein by engaging full-heartedly with the source of our spiritual damage we may begin to build ourselves up again.
2. Cleo from 5 to 7 (1962)
It can often be difficult to portray anxiety on screen due to how much of it manifests internally. In turn, Agnes Varda's seminal "Cleo from 5 to 7" creates a blueprint to effectively portray filmic inner stress i.e having it become tangible through character interactions as opposed to dramatic outbursts.
Singer Cleo is awaiting medical results and is attempting to go about her day as efficiently as she can given her circumstances. Yet whether it's practicing a melancholy song, connecting with a soldier in the park or watching a man eat live frogs on the street, Cleo's dread at her impending mortality corrodes her.
That tension is illustrated wonderfully by Cleo's actress Corinne Marchand who seemed to have disappeared from cinema not long after "Cleo from 5 to 7." It's a shame because Marchand's acting is the nucleus behind Varda's vision, one that teaches filmmakers how to blend psychological insight with natural human interaction.
3. Dr. Strangelove; Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb (1964)
It forever became impossible to take geopolitical warfare seriously when this gem dropped in 1964. Talking about why "Dr. Strangelove" is important to cinema would be like saying "maybe the liver is a pretty necessary organ." It's thesis on how the end of the world could come about as a result of absolute stupidity is relevant time and time and time again.
The bureaucratic clap-trap that is used to justify a "Doomsday" machine or nuclear bomb usage is agonizing to listen to given how we hear such verbal feces constantly coming out of our politicians and mainstream media. No other movie has even come to close to capturing "Dr. Strangelove's" satirical edge and unless a new Stanley Kubrick or Peter Sellers will be discovered, the film is unlikely to be topped.
4. Audition (2000)
Thematic shifts are tools that all filmmakers ought to learn to master, and Takashi Miike's horror classic "Audition" is a graduate education on how to do it right. Going from a serene, poignant, and lightly comic story of a man using film auditions to find a girlfriend to a nightmarish, body-horror hell-scape is the stuff of legends. Everyone knows the horror is coming and perhaps that is why the light early scenes are so tense.
"Audition's" genius lies in slowly messing with the story's structure, loosening the tiniest screws of strangeness before it explodes into pure evil. The movie does this horrific build-up precisely because of it's masterful tonal transition, a textbook example of how great horror is usually something just messing with routine. "Audition" is as beautiful and charming as it is unholy and pulsating, and that's why it is a masterpiece.
"Kiri kiri kiri…" three words that will signal the end times…
5. Scenes from a Marriage (1974)
Even if one dislikes Ingmar Bergman's work, we can't help but respect the man's versatility. Who else could go from a dreamy surrealist meditation on aging ("Wild Strawberries") to one of the most brutal and intimately realistic examinations of relationships?
Director Sean S. Baker of "Tangerine" and "The Florida Project" once said: "When people tell me I should get married, I ask, 'Have you seen "Scenes from a Marriage?" Baker is correct in many ways, as barring witness to the deterioration of Marianne and Johan's relationship can put many a dreamy romantic off from pursuing love forever.
Much of "Scenes'" strength lies in it's pacing and attention to detail, it's mammoth length of nearly 5 hours forcing the audience to witness every little crack and splinter that culminates in pure anguish. Nonetheless, the most important takeaway from "Scenes" is that relationships are hard, hard work and that expecting love to come in the form of a Disney film would be idiotic. A harsh truth but a vital one explored exquisitely.

2 Palestinian Social Activists Arrested After Barricading Themselves in Red Cross Building
The two refuse to abide by warrants ordering them to stay away from Jerusalem; 'submitting to the warrant constitutes a defeat to Jerusalemites and Palestinians,' they say.
Israeli police arrested two Palestinian activists in Jerusalem early on Wednesday who had holed themselves up at the Red Cross compound in the city. Three weeks ago, the head of the Israel Defense Force Central Command, Maj. Gen. Yoel Strick, issued a restraining order barring the two from Jerusalem, but they refused to comply and instead moved to the premises of the Red Cross in the hope that they would not be arrested there.

Explanation for Tel Aviv shooting extends far beyond ISIS
Palestinian sources said the Israel Police entered the Red Cross compound to arrest the two, who were then questioned. The police sought to release them on condition that they leave Jerusalem, but they have refused.
The pair, Samer Abu Aisha and Hijazi Abu Sabih, both residents of Jerusalem's Old City, are not identified with a political party but are social activists who are well-known among young Palestinians in East Jerusalem. The two were behind a number of original protests in the east of the city, including a gathering of young people who drank coffee at the Old City's Damascus Gate in protest of the erection of security barricades there, and an event featuring singing marchers demanding that Israel release the bodies of Palestinian terrorists. Their unorthodox approach is reflected in the fact that in the past Abu Sabih was arrested dressed as a tiger and as Mickey Mouse.
Three weeks ago, five Jerusalem Palestinian social and political activists were served orders, pursuant to emergency British Mandatory regulations still in effect since 1945, requiring them to leave the city for six months. The notice delivered to the five included a map of greater Jerusalem delineating the area that was off-limits to them. They are permitted to be in any of the territory of the Palestinian Authority and because they are permanent residents of Israel, they are also allowed anywhere in Israel outside the Jerusalem area.

Posted by الصفحة الرسمية لحملة #مش_طالع on Wednesday, January 6, 2016
Three of the five complied with the order, but the remaining two, Abu Sabih and Abu Aisha, issued a statement saying that "submission" to the order would be "a defeat for Jerusalemites and Palestinians in general." They took up residence in a tent in the yard of the Red Cross compound. In the evenings, a large number of people gathered there for cultural programming and protests against the Israeli occupation.
"It was a social place. People came and sang and gave lectures, in a kind of popular protest that was an alternatives to stabbings," said Alaa Mahajna, a lawyer who provided legal assistance to the two, refering to the wave of Palestinian stabbings of Israelis over the past several months.
On Tuesday, after a number of warnings from the police and the Shin Bet security service, police were sent to the compound and arrested seven people including Abu Aisha and Abu Sabih. The other five were released, but Abu Aisha and Abu Sabih are refusing to sign a commitment to leave the city.
For its part, the Jerusalem police issued a statement saying that the pair had blatantly violated the order issued against them and instead holed themselves up in the Red Cross compound. "As a result, they have been arrested and transferred for questioning."

Partyline is a new Laravel package I developed to supercharge Statamic's command line (Artisan Console) integration.
Partyline allows you to push to the console from OUTSIDE your Command class.
Statamic has a number of features that have a browser and command line interface, like setting configs, generating image manipulation presets, or updating your search index.
Let's use updating the search index as an example. You can trigger an index update from the control panel, by hitting a URL, or or running php please search:update. Behind the scenes we run Search::update() and the deed is done.
On the command line side we have the ability to stream output to you as code is executed. We can show messages, progress bars, and so on. However, the mere act of sending feedback to the console would require duplicating the entire method and modifying it. Not very DRY. Not very awesome.
With Partyline we can bake in console output feedback right into our single Search::update() method. All Partyline code is ignored outside of the command line context.
If you're a design pattern purist, you may notice this goes against the single responsibility principle. Yes, the search updater in this example probably shouldn't be responsible for creating progress bars and outputting to the console, but which is worse? A little extra easy-to-read code in one place, or core application logic duplicated in two places, begging to be diverged and broken down over time?
Weigh the pros and cons. You might just fine the tradeoff to be well worth it. We did. If you find it to be useful, awesome! We'd love to hear about it.
You can find Partyline on Github.

Java RMI manager worker implementation for computation parallelization across multiple computers.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ph4r05/javaRmiManagerWorker.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/ph4r05/javaRmiManagerWorker)
[![Coverity Status](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/7182/badge.svg)](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/ph4r05-javarmimanagerworker)

## Description
Java Remote Method Invocation is used for communication between manager and worker processes.

Simple worker manager pattern is implemented. Manager is one process, generating new jobs and submitting them for computation.
There are multiple workers connected to manager and polling its job queue.

Manager process creates jobs for computation, adding them to the internal job queue.
As worker process connects to the manager process, it registers itself. Registration allows provider to call
methods on the worker.

When worker has a free working thread available it asks manager for a new job for processing.
Progress monitoring and cancellation are supported. Progress is signalized from the task, through worker to the manager.
Same code flow is followed when checking for cancellation of given task.

When computation finishes, manager callback for job finished is called with job object and job result.

Each worker generates unique UUID after initialization. Under this UUID it is registered in the manager.

In order to test the code, use provided shell scripts to start one manager first. Then start multiple worker processes.
As manager finishes its work, it terminates all worker processes.

I've been looking at a lot of pictures of myself as a child lately and it's been making me think about the things I'd want to teach my younger self, or my future children.
Accept people for who they are because you can't change them and you shouldn't want to.
Don't let anybody ever tell you that you can't do something.
It's great to have friends and trust people but remember that the only person you need is yourself.
Don't let anybody put you into a box or tell you who you are.
Change happens. Your friends will change, you will change and that's okay.
Discover and follow your passions no matter what they are.
Don't be afraid of things because other people are.
Be your own person. Take however long you need to figure out who you are.
Try to be happy even in hard times.
Correct grammar and spelling is important.
If you can lead, do so. Leadership skills are extremely valuable.
Get a job when you turn 14 or 15. Not only is the experience good, but you'll earn your own money and that will feel good.
Make a fool of yourself. It'll hurt less when other people make fun of you.
Try to be a good listener.
Be genuine and honest. Lying about how you feel or who you are won't make you or anyone around you happy. That said, don't be the nasty kind of honest.
Take a lot of pictures. Memories are great, but it's even better to be able to look back on them.
If divorce is even an option in your mind, don't get married. If you choose to get married, pick someone that you can see yourself growing old with.
Everyone is born equal. Treat them that way.
You have a lot of people who love you and support you - appreciate that..
Also, I may need some advice. I've been wanting to get a job as of late but as stupid as it sounds, I don't want to resort to a job in Maccas or anything shabby. I know I need the experience as I build my way up, but I can't seem to bring myself to the idea. Any tips?
Aww thank you very much! I want to be a mother more than anything and I hope it happens within the next 6-7 years.
Well I'm not sure I'm the right person to ask! I didn't get a job until April this year and I got it because my mum knew the owner of the business. Connections are always good. I think you need to pinpoint your good qualities and know how to sell yourself. To be honest I couldn't do that before I got this job but now that I've worked at a small business I've realised that a lot of things I find easy to do are very difficult for other people and I have a lot of skills I can bring to a business/company.
All that said, everyone has to start somewhere and most people will understand that. Try to get a position that is short term - maybe 6 months so you can try it out. I don't hate my job but I don't think it's somewhere I could stay for too much longer - it's a great starting position but not what I want in the long term (plus it doesn't help that I don't plan on living on the Gold Coast for much longer - I'm moving to Sydney next year).
I'm not sure if that helped at all! Maybe google some interview tips - unfortunately the interview means more than actual potential most of the time.

University of Malta puts up €100,000 in seed funding to help start-ups take off
Entrepreneurs, start-ups and researchers can tap €100,000 in seed funding offered by a University of Malta award.
The Take Off seed fund award (TOSFA), now in its fourth year, seeks to aid entrepreneurs, start-ups and researchers mould their ideas and technologies into investor-ready and market-ready businesses.
Entrepreneurs and start-ups devoted to furthering their ideas for innovative products and services can apply for up to €20,000 in seed funding, while researchers working on ideas developed through University R&D can apply for proof of concept funds.
Successful applicants will receive mentoring and support through Take Off and the Knowledge Transfer Office.
Past editions have seen more than 100 applicants and allowed over 25 projects to get funded, and this year's funding aims to continue the scheme's success.
Economy Minister Chris Cardona, Pro-Rector Saviour Zammit, Take Off Business Incubator manager Joseph Bartolo and KTO director Anton Bartolo were on hand to launch this year's edition of the fund.
Various successful projects presented their progress at the TOSFA launch event, including Tonio Sant, who is developing technology for offshore wind energy storage, and Incredible Web, whose BumALift carpooling application has turned the app into Malta's number one carpooling platform.

Structural characterization of argingipain, a novel arginine-specific cysteine proteinase as a major periodontal pathogenic factor from porphyromonas gingivalis
Kuniaki Okamoto, Yoshio Misumi, Tomoko Kadowaki, Masahiro Yoneda, Kenji Yamamoto, Yukio Ikehara
Argingipain, so termed due to its peptide cleavage specificity at arginine residue, is a unique extracellular cysteine proteinase produced by the anaerobic rod Porphyromonas gingivalis, which is known as a major pathogenic factor of the progressive periodontal disease (T, Kadowaki, M. Yoneda, K. Okamoto, K. Maeda, and K, Yamamoto (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 21371-21378), The catalytic specificity and functional importance of this enzyme prompted us to elucidate its structural features. A DNA fragment for argingipain was selectively amplified by polymerase chain reaction using mixed oligonucleotide primers designed from the NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme. Although the extracellular mature enzyme was shown to have an apparent molecular mass of 44 kDa in gels, the nucleotide sequence of the isolated gene revealed a single gene coding for a 109-kDa precursor of argingipain. The deduced amino acid sequence exhibited no significant similarity to the sequences of representative members of the cysteine protease family. The precursor contained four functional domains: The NH2-terminal signal peptide required for the inner membrane transport; the NH2-terminal prosequence, which is assumed to stabilize the precursor structure; the proteinase domain; and the COOH-terminal hemagglutinin domain, which appears to be essential for extracellular secretion of the proteinase domain. Experiments involving the addition of the argingipain inhibitors to the culture medium of P. gingivalis suggested that the maturation of argingipain occurs intracellularly via an autocatalytic cleavage of the pro-argingipain propeptide.

Model United Nations, also known as MUN, is an extra-curricular activity in which students typically role-play delegates to the United Nations and simulate UN committees.
BOMUN is the event organised by Bordeaux Model United Nations Association.
Participating in a MUN conference is a great opportunity to develop your communication and critical thinking skills and develop solutions to real world problems.
Everyone is welcome to participate to BOMUN 2017.
have participated to previous conferences:we will teach you all you need to know to become the best delegate !
be a specialist of the Arctic, we will provide background information on the Arctic council and the Arctic region.
The conference will be in English.
We will organise a briefing about the topic and the rules of a MUN conference before the conference.
9:00 Meeting at Sciences Po Bordeaux, salle Copernic. Breakfast offered by the MUN Sciences Po Bordeaux.
Explanation of the rules. Meeting with the chairs.
16:30 End of the Conference.
 Coffee and snacks offered to end the day.
You have never been a delegate at a MUN Conference? No need to worry!
What are points of inquiry?
What is the difference between a moderated and unmoderated caucus?
Before the conference, we will organize a meeting in order to explain the rules to you and talk about the topic. You can also contact us for any question.
We have prepared a document (here) in order for you to learn about BOMUN rules, and the vocabulary that will be used in the conference.
Every Member State of the committee shall have one vote, except for the observers and non-members whose voting rights are limited.
Member States can vote on both substantial (amendments and resolutions - absolute or qualified majority is needed) and procedural matters (points and motions - majority of the members present suffices).
Observers (other states, with non-state actors excluded) can usually vote on procedural matters only (depending on a particular MUN committee).
How to write a position paper?
Each delegate needs to write a position paper. It will help you define the position of you country. You can send the position paper to the chairs before the conference for advise.
The Position Paper is a one or two page document that is essentially a summary of your knowledge of the topic and the position your country plans to take when it enters committee. It typically contains four sections: Background of Topic, Past International Actions, Country Policy, and Possible Solutions.
Past international actions: The UN website, and your committee's website are very useful. You need to research the key treaties or resolutions mentioned in your background guide, UN or NGO reports.
Country policy: What is the position of your country of the topic? Visit CIA World Factbook, your country's foreign ministry website, domestic programs within your country, and your country's voting record on key treaties or resolutions.
The aim of the conference is to write a resolution.
What is a resolution and why is it important? A resolution contains all the proposed solutions to a topic. Learning to write a resolution is very important because the ultimate goal of the committee sessions is for delegates to come up with written solutions to the problems they are trying to solve.
Working paper: Working papers are just a list of ideas formed by the blocs. They may or may not be written in resolution format. The working paper needs to be approved by the chairs.
Draft Resolution: A document written in resolution format, approved by the chairs, and introduced to committee but not yet voted upon is called a draft resolution. Delegates will be spending most of their time writing and amending the draft resolutions. Once a draft resolution is passed by a committee, then it becomes a Resolution.
Sponsors (in green in the example): delegates who authored the draft resolution or actively contributed ideas. They support the draft resolution and want to see it get passed, so they should vote for it. All resolutions will require a minimum number of sponsors.
Signatories (in green in the example): delegates who wish to see the draft resolution debated but may or may not agree with all of the ideas. However, they think there is some merit to it and want to see it presented. Some resolutions will require a minimum number of signatories.
Pre-ambulatory clauses (in red in the example): statements in the first section of the draft resolution that describes the problems that the committee wants to solve as well as previous measures taken to combat the problem. Pre-ambulatory clauses are usually italicized or underlined but not numbered.
Operative clauses (in blue in the example): statements in the second section of the draft resolution that outlines the specific solutions the sponsors wish to implement. Operative clauses are usually numbered and underlined.
Amendment: a change made to an operative clause of a draft resolution. Amendments can add, delete, or change an operative clause in a draft resolution. A Friendly Amendment is an amendment written and approved by all the sponsors to a draft resolution and is automatically included into the text. An Unfriendly Amendment is an amendment not approved by all the sponsors to their draft resolution and must be voted upon before it can be included into the text.

THE COUNCIL OF CHALCEDON, 451AD
Published on 14 July 2017	Hits: 739
Miracle during the Council of Chalcedon
The Fourth Ecumenical Council convened in the city of Chalcedon in the year 451. The 630 delegates gathered in the church of Saint Euphemia where her holy relics were housed. The council repudiated the Eutychian doctrine of monophysitism, and set forth the Chalcedonian Creed, which describes the "full humanity and full divinity" of Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity.
Both the Monophysite and Orthodox parties were well-represented at the council, so the meetings were quite contentious, and no decisive consensus could be reached. The holy Patriarch Anatolius of Constantinople proposed that the Council submit the decision of the Church dispute to the Holy Spirit, through His undoubted bearer St. Euphemia the All-Praised. The Orthodox hierarchs and their opponents wrote down their confessions of faith on separate scrolls and sealed them with their seals. They opened the tomb of the saint and placed both scrolls upon her bosom. Then, in the presence of the emperor Marcian (450-457), the participants of the Council sealed the tomb, putting on it the imperial seal and setting a guard to watch over it for three days. During these days both sides imposed upon themselves strict fasting and prayer. After three days the patriarch and the emperor, in the presence of the Council, opened the tomb and found the scroll with the Orthodox confession was held by St Euphemia in her right hand, while the scroll of the heretics lay at her feet. St. Euphemia, as though alive, raised her hand and gave the scroll to the patriarch. As a result of this miracle, many of the heretics accepted the Orthodox confession, while those remaining obstinant in their heresy were consigned to the Council's condemnation and excommunication.

CRISPR: The Unauthorized Biography
This month, we discuss one of the biggest buzzwords in science today: CRISPR. This gene-editing tool has gotten a lot of attention for some ...ethically dubious uses, but before we humans got our hands on it, CRISPR was actually one of nature's inventions. Since its discovery, CRISPR has been widely adapted as an incredibly effective research tool, but we're still working to understand its biology -- and its limitations. In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Joseph Bondy-Denomy, who researches the evolutionary arms race that led to CRISPR, and Dr. Martin Kampmann, who uses CRISPR as a tool to study disease.

San Francisco and HIV: The Place Where it Happened
In the early 80s, a new disease appeared in San Francisco, baffling scientists and alarming the public. Since then, our understanding of HIV/AIDS has made enormous strides, with treatments and prevention making leaps and bounds too. However, these advances haven't reached everyone quite yet. In a live recording, we speak to five people who have been instrumental in shaping HIV/AIDS treatment, policy, and care in San Francisco and abroad, and ask them about the barriers that still remain today.
Recorded during a live event at UCSF Alumni Weekend.

Gene Cartography: Routes to Tourette Disorder
From Google Maps to John Snow's map of cholera cases in the 1800s, maps have the power to change the way we understand information. What if we could use maps of cellular function to discover the mechanisms of psychiatric disorders? We sit down with Dr. Jeremy Willsey, a researcher in the Psychiatric Cell Map Initiative, who's trying to do just that—understand the neural basis of Tourette Disorder by placing disorder-related mutations on a map of the cell.

Heart to Heart with Dan Hart
The heart is an extremely complicated organ, and believe it or not, everyone has one! But how does this vital organ come to be? By studying how a stem cell makes the decision to become a heart cell, Dr. Daniel Hart is trying to figure that out, and he's using fish to do it. Check out this episode for some pretty terrible puns, fascinating facts about zebrafish, and an extended metaphor about gene regulation that will make you want to reach for the liquor cabinet.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Immunotherapy
Dr. Liz Wayne got her start as a cancer hunter, searching for rogue cells running loose through the bloodstream. But she started to notice something strange – everywhere she found cancer cells, she found immune cells, too. Today, a big issue with cancer therapy is that some cancer sites are really hard to reach, but immune cells have no problem getting there. Dr. Wayne thought, why not hitchhike cancer-fighting drugs onto immune cells to get them straight to the places they're needed most? Listen to this month's episode to find out how her research may pave the way for a cheaper, more accessible kind of cancer immunotherapy. Plus, stick around after the credits to hear the origin story of Dr. Wayne's podcast, PhDivas.

TIPping the Scales: Contagious Therapy Against HIV
Sharing is caring - so what if you could transmit your HIV therapy to someone else? In this episode, we talked to Dr. Leor Weinberger, whose team has invented TIPs, or Therapeutic Interfering Particles, that are mutant, shortened forms of HIV that cannot replicate on their own and cannot cause disease. In cells that contain HIV, these TIPs outcompete HIV, preventing it from replicating. These TIPs could then be spread from person to person through the same ways that HIV is transmitted. This therapy could go a long way towards fighting the barriers against disease control - adherence, access, and resistance.
We thought this was a really unique idea that has the potential of reducing the population level of HIV, and we wanted to share this early-stage research with you.

Pitch Imperfect: The Quest to Improve the Bionic Ear
To date, cochlear implants are the most successful electronic device for restoring sensation in individuals with sensorineural hearing loss. Yet these devices are not without flaws. For instance, pitch perception is extremely poor in these devices, and that can affect an implant user's ability to distinguish sounds in a noisy room. In this episode, we speak to Dr. Charles Limb, a UCSF ear surgeon who specializes in hearing loss and performs these cochlear implant surgeries. By incorporating complex elements of music, Dr. Limb and his team hope to improve the current cochlear implant model so those with hearing loss have a wider range and more sensitive ability to hear.

Hemp for Victory in 1942 – Easy to See Why the Government Wanted their Own Film to Disappear
isack cole, September 4, 2017
Home Around the world North America Hemp for Victory in 1942 – Easy to See Why the Government Wanted their Own Film to Disappear
Hemp for Victory is an educational film that was produced by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1942 with the obvious reason to encourage every farmer to plant and produce hemp to help the country.
"This film is designed to tell farmers how to handle this ancient crop, now little known outside of Kentucky and Wisconsin."
The film starts out with emphasising how 'indispensable' hemp has been, it explains that it has been an invaluable resource throughout human history and now the US needs a lot of it.
"… but now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of the Japanese… American hemp must meet the needs of our army and navy as well as of our industries."
The Marijuana Tax Act made it prohibited to grow hemp just 5 years earlier, however, during World War II, the Allies got desperate enough not only to make hemp production legal again but to produce this short film to encourage 'patriotic' farmers to grow it.
"In 1942 patriotic farmers at our government's request, planted 36,000 acres of seed hemp, an increase of several hundred percent. The goal for 1943 is 50,000 acres of seed hemp."
The short film goes into length to educate farmers and even undo some of the damage from the propaganda that had been going on for a decade or so by then.
"The word 'canvas' comes from the Arabic word for hemp."
The war created a desperate situation when the truth about hemp surfaced to encourage farmers to grow it, however, this encouragement changed back to punishment for growing hemp after the war ended.

Cannabis Reform Deutschland - Focus On Berlin?
Apparently, the government made serious efforts to cover up the video's existence for quite a few years.
Hemp for Victory shows that the US government was clearly aware of the importance of hemp as a raw material and as soon as it had trouble sourcing it from overseas due to the war, they were ok with growing it locally and to talk about how important of a crop it has been throughout history.
The speculations about cannabis being prohibited due to its threat to the petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries are highly supported by the fact that when national security was on the line, hemp was acknowledged to be a wonder crop by the US government, however, before and after it was the devil's weed.
The Popular Mechanics magazine featured an article about hemp in 1938, calling it the 'new billion dollar crop' and predicted a very bright future for hemp as the industry was catching up and large scale industrialised hemp production was becoming a reality.
However, larger powers at play ensured that cannabis stayed prohibited for the last 80 years and we are living in the time just now that sees the rebirth of the hemp and cannabis industries around the world.

Meet the Mad Hatter of Headphones
Patrick Grosso juggles a variety of roles at Skullcandy in order to keep the company as sharp as the sound from its speakers
By	Billy Yost
Speaking with Skullcandy's Patrick Grosso, it's easy to imagine a man sporting a multitude of well-maintained hats juggling just about anything that might be set in front of him. As vice president of strategic initiative and corporate affairs, chief legal officer, head of global human resources, and corporate secretary for Skullcandy, Grosso's exhaustive job title is matched by an attitude that is, if not outright infectious, easily understood as one perfectly suited for his leadership position.
"You never know what each day brings. Some people like to be specialized in what they do. I like variety. Being able to take what you learned in one situation and apply it to another is very rewarding," Grosso says. It's this variety that seems to keep Grosso sharp and interested in his work. "Having flexibility to me means operating in multiple roles that can positively impact the direction of the company in its operations." This may include—but is not limited to—maintaining close ties with the legal division, human resources, retail, and real estate, as well as Skullcandy's shareholders and the board of directors.
Grosso, who began his career as an attorney for the US Securities and Exchange Commission during the Wild West conditions of the early-2000s dot-com boom, seems to always return to the idea of growth when recounting both his past experiences and current colleagues. "The team I work with will be our future leaders, whether at Skullcandy or elsewhere," Grosso says. "Therefore, it is important to me that they feel they are leaders now, that they own the decisions they make, and that they understand the impacts of their decisions to the company and our workforce." It's an attitude that Grosso has cultivated as a guide in a field that doesn't always lend itself to mentorship.
This search for growth underlines both Grosso's work philosophy and his goals for the headphone and consumer electronics company. "I have a couple of goals for the brand, which do not change. Short term: I want our global team to be excited about where they work and motivated to be here," he says.
Those expectations are under literal construction as hopes for a centralized Skullcandy headquarters in Park City, Utah, are nearly realized. The project, overseen by Grosso, is particularly close to his heart, and his excitement is evident.
"When I think about our Park City team's daily experience and our global teams and ambassadors visiting, our HQ should be a reflection of our culture and what we stand for," he emphasizes. Building for the company's headquarters was scheduled to be completed in April.
When asked about his success, Grosso places communication—especially in a role that requires an abundance of multitasking—as absolutely paramount. "I cannot emphasize enough the importance of communication. To me, it means listening first and speaking second," he says. Grosso does what he can to avoid communicating via e-mail, memo, or other mediums that lack the ability to convey context and inflection that are necessary to effective communication. This means working hard to make himself available for personal interaction whenever possible. His quest for communicative efficiency is one Grosso finds as part of a larger ideal at Skullcandy. He references CEO Hoby Darling's maxim as one he always keeps close: "Align early and often."
"That means making sure you and your team members are in agreement on the path forward, and you can never do that too early or too much," Grosso explains.
As of late, he has spent a significant portion of his time dedicated to the recent acquisition of Skullcandy by private equity firm Mill Road Capital Management. As a publicly traded company, transitioning to private ownership was no small step for Grosso and the Skullcandy team. "It's sort of like tennis," he laughs. "All of these balls keep flying at you, and you're trying to hit them all back but are never quite sure where they're going to come from." This has also meant helping his workforce navigate the sometime turbulent waters of acquisition. While much of the management team was familiar with the process, much of the younger workforce was not. Grosso saw this as a great learning experience for all involved.
Even when relaxing, Grosso's emphasis is on others. When speaking of his wife and two young daughters, Grosso seems to find comfort in their own journeys. "Seeing them happy and enjoying life is my relaxation," he says. "If I want to break away from time to time just for myself, snowboarding, water skiing, running, and reading are my escapes." But escaping doesn't seem like a verb Grosso spends much time embodying. After all, there are just too many hats to wear and too many challenges to juggle.
