Learn how to obtain, build, and use an MPI stack for Linux machines. This tutorial will take you from "hello world" to parallel matrix multiplication in a matter of minutes.
OpenMP has several strong points: it is a very simple system to use and it is widely available in compilers for most major platforms. There are however, other methods to express parallelism in your code. On distributed parallel systems, like Linux clusters, the Message Passing Interface (MPI) is widely used. MPI is not a programming language, but rather a standard library that is used to send messages between multiple processes. These processes can be located on the same system (a single multi-core SMP system) or on a collection of distributed servers. Unlike OpenMP, the distributed nature of MPI allows it to work on almost any parallel environment.
On a multi-core system a single shared address space is the basis for a shared memory programming model. OpenMP makes relatively easy work of this environment. Sharing nothing between "threads", or independent processes running on possibly independent machines, is typically called a shared nothing programming model, or more succinctly, a distributed programming model. There is nothing that precludes a shared nothing or distributed program from running on a shared memory system.
Distributed memory memory models assume that every CPU has access to its own memory space, and can alter its own local variables. To alter memory or variables or another/remote process, you need to send that process a message.
Again, the remote process can be on the same machine or on another machine and has to agree to accept the message. In essence, distributed memory programming requires copying memory from one memory space to another, sending and receiving messages. Unlike the shared memory model, you the programmer, have to consciously move data between "threads" or processes. The compiler will not handle this for you as it does in OpenMP. This requirement often makes MPI programming a bit more difficult than using OpenMP.
In addition to using physically remote machines, MPI has the additional "advantage" of forcing you divide your memory use between processes. In essence, you have greater control over locality. On modern CPUs with multiple cores, caches and memory hierarchies, you want to enable as much data re-use as possible. The distributed model forces you to think about that, as you have to decide what to move, and when to move it.
The rest of this article will focus upon distributed memory programming using MPI (Message Passing Interface) on a single multi-core system. We will provide some basic examples similar to the OpenMP tutorial.
The preparation time is a little more than an hour before programming if you have to build your own compiler and MPI packages. A few minutes if you can install pre-built compiler and MPI packages.
If you have already checked your cores, memory size, file space, and installed the GNU compilers from the previous tutorials, then you can skip to the Installing Open MPI section.
The Pegasus system I'm using reports 8 CPUs. We need to see how much disk space we have to work with. This is fairly easy to do. The df command is your tool of choice. A quick df -h will tell us what we have available, though it might not tell us if we can use it.
This tells us that our home directory has as much as 33GB available. So let's make ourselves a workspace, and continue.
The Pegasus machine has 8184008 kB, or about 8 GB ram. For my editor, I may use Vim or pico. Any text editor should work.
We need a compiler. The GNU Foundation's GNU Compiler Collection has excellent free compilers, and commercial compilers from Intel, Portland Group, and others available for your use, and they all support building and using MPI stacks. This may represent a dilemma for you: why should you purchase the other compilers if you can get GCC for free? In short, the other compilers do offer more in the way of optimization, support, and added elements of value.
Compilation required 12.25 minutes on 8 processors. It would take about eight times longer on one processor, which is why we used the -j8 switch on the Makefile (parallel build).
Now to use this compiler, we need to set an environment variable. This setting enables the linker to find the libraries.
The compiler itself is located in /home/joe/bin/gcc which can be set in the CC variable in the Makefile. Of course your path will be different.
As a sanity check, lets compile a simple test case. Here's the classic "hello world" C program.
print *,"hello Fortran MPI user!"
There are multiple open source versions of MPI available on the Web, but for the purposes of this article, we'll use OpenMPI. Get OpenMPI, uncompress, configure, and build it.
Now you should have an operational MPI stack to work with.
Now that we have an operational MPI stack, we can start to explore MPI. At its core, MPI is a set of function calls and libraries that implement a distributed execution of a program. Distributed does not necessarily mean that you must run your MPI job on many machines. In fact, you could run multiple MPI processes on a laptop.
MPI assumes you will work with processes, which do not share the same memory address space as the other processes that MPI launches. So if one process makes a change to a variable, then none of the other processes can see that change. If you want another process to be aware of the change, you have to explicitly pass this information over to the other process.
This model is somewhat harder to grasp. Unlike in OpenMP, you cannot imagine all your variables in a big block of memory, and all processes can see all the variables. You have to think about things in terms of N independent programs running through your code all at the same time.
All the processes can perform IO operations, file, print, and so on. So things as simple as our "hello world" application are able to run in parallel. Serialization (or non-parallel execution) depends upon, whether or not you want to serialize (time ordered file output), or if external factors enforce serialization (non-parallel IO file system).
When the MPI program reaches that first MPI_Init, it passes the arguments it received on the command line to the MPI launcher process, which starts new copies of the binary running on the processors.
At this point in time, you have gone from a single process to NCPU (or N Cores) coordinated processes. These processes do not share variables. Your job is to figure out what process needs what data, when they need it, and get it to them.
The MPI_Comm_rank function call returns data on a specific process. A process id of 0 is the "master" process, the original process which did in fact launch all the others. The process id or "rank" is used to identify the different processes in you program.
The MPI_Comm_size function call returns the number of threads or processes being used for this program.
With this information, your program is now aware of the parallel environment. This is explicitly the case. Note that you could run your code on NCPU=1, in which case you have effectively serial operation.
A way to visualize this is to imagine an implicit loop around your program, where you have NCPU iterations of the loop. These iterations all occur at the same time, unlike an explicit loop. The number of CPUs or cores is controlled by specifying a value to the mpirun or mpiexec command using the -np argument. If it is not set, it could default to 1 or the number of CPUs/Cores on your machine.
Unlike OpenMP, there is no "parallel region" to enclose, the entire code is a "parallel region", but nothing is shared. Let us create a simple Makefile to handle building this. The Makefiles are available with the Source Code. You may need to adjust the CC and LDFLAGS to reflect your environment.
The large initial spaces are tabs, ordinary spaces wont work with make. With this Makefile, we can automate the build and rebuild of these programs.
and a working binary executable called hello-mpi.exe. To run the binary, use the mpirun command below. In this example we are starting eight processes. Each process will be called hello-mpi.exe and they will communicate with each other using MPI.
There are some additional arguments worth discussing. First, the -hostfile argument provides a filename that tells mpirun the host or hosts on which to run the program. For this tutorial, we will use a single hostfile with "localhost" as our only host. You can use any name for this file. Second, since we have multiple cores we can adjust the number of processes to match the number of cores by using the -np parameter.
Note: -np is number of MPI processes to run. If multiple hosts are in the hostfile, then mpirun will attempt to run processes on these hosts. You will need to have MPI properly installed on all the listed hosts. It is also possible to designate the number of cores for each host in the hostfile. Mostmpirun commands will traverse the list of hosts and assign processes on each host. If the number or processes -np is greater than the number of hosts, then mpirun will loop to the first host in the hostfile and continue until all processes have been assigned. In our case we are using one host (localhost) so all processes are run on a single machine. Consult the man page for mpirun for more information.
This result is nice. We have a working MPI. It is worth noting at this point that you only need a few MPI functions for most of the programs you will write. MPI has many function calls available to it, and you can make use of extremely fine grain control and data transfer elements. In many cases, you probably would not need these, certainly not for initial ports to MPI. Subsequent rewrites of various algorithms may be redone with the more complex functions.
Before we do something useful with this, lets explore a few techniques that might be helpful. We can use several MPI function calls to query and control our environment. Our new program incorporates several of these, along with a few "tricks" I have found useful over the years.
We can compile and run it with 8 threads.
The first number you see is the elapsed time since the start of the program. The second number is the process or thread number/ID (tid variable in the program). Notice that the output does not come out necessarily in thread or process order. It doesn't necessarily come out in time order either, though it is hard to tell from this example. One of the tricks that I have learned and use is to tag each line with either the thread id or the time, and then sort it.
Now we can tell what thread did what, and when it did it. Though the thread ordering is still off. Items like this are helpful when debugging parallel programs. Now it is time to move on to where a majority of the power of MPI becomes apparent to end users.
MPI helps you in a number of clever ways, allowing you to add multiple processes to your program without thinking through all the details of process setup and tear-down, and the details of inter-process communication. You can focus on your code, hand data to function calls, and not worry about opening sockets, or moving data yourself — unless you wish to do this.
As usual, it helps to start out with an understanding of where your program is spending its time. Without that, you could wind up porting code that takes very little time in the overall execution path, and leave the time expensive code unchanged. Additionally, it is important to test various sizes of runs, so you understand which portions of your code scale well, and which portions may need assistance.
Profiling is the best way to do this, we will use a "poor mans profiler," basically timing calipers around sections of the code. This technique will give us approximate millisecond resolution data (well, it is limited to the clock timer tick interrupt rate, and could be anywhere from 1 to 10 milliseconds). You will not get more accurate single shot data than the timer resolution. In order to get better resolution, you need to iterate enough so that you can calculate an average time per iteration. It is also worth noting that OS jitter (management interrupts for disk I/O, network I/O, and running an OS in general) will also impact your measurements some, so please take this into account if you would like more precise data.
As it turns out, for numerical stability (roundoff error accumulation) reasons, you run the sum in the other order (from inf to 1), which we do in the code.
Unlike OpenMP, we cannot think of simply parallelizing this at a loop level. More about this in a moment. This loop is an example of something called a reduction operation. Specifically, the loop is a sum reduction. A reduction operation occurs (in a technical sense) when you reduce the rank or number of dimensions of something. In this case, imagine that we have a big long string (or vector) of numbers.
We are going to reduce these numbers to a single number by summing (taking a dot product with them [1, 1, 1, ..., 1]). First things first, how does the code perform, and specifically, where is the slow area? Lets run it and find out.
Using -n 2 and -l 1000000000, the loop took about 51 seconds to execute. The loop is the most time consuming portion of this program. It makes sense to pay attention to it, and see what we can do with it.
The wallclock and user times are important as well. In this case, the wallclock reports being 3 milliseconds more than the loop time, and the user CPU time reports being a little less than the wallclock. The sum of user and sys times does in fact, pretty nearly equal the wallclock time. This result is good.
It is important to note that as you scale up your parallel application, this time sum should remain very nearly constant. This goal may sound counter-intuitive, but it means that you are effectively partitioning work among the N COU/Cores you are using. If this sum increases significantly with increasing processor count, you may not be operating as effectively as you could be, and your code won't scale.
Can we get any benefit out of running this in parallel? And how hard is it? Well, lets add in the MPI bits as we did before, and then think about how to run this loop in parallel. First make a copy of the program and Makefile (Note: the source code contains the program and Makefile with the changes we are making), and rename them rzf_2.c and Makefile.rzf_2, adding in the MPI elements. The rzf_2.c is more complex, and requires some explanation.
Remember, the loop is the time expensive portion of this code, so after setting up the MPI processes, wouldn't it be nice to partition or decompose the loop such that the calculations occurred in parallel? Imagine that our loop had an "outer loop" around it, with some additional helper bits. The "outer loop" sets the lower and upper bounds of the index for the inner loop.
This is effectively what MPI provides you, the caveat being that MPI is running these loop bodies in parallel (simultaneously) on different processes, and you cannot trivially share data between loops (tid) without explicitly moving it.
The second bit in from the left is the sign bit for 32 bit integers. If it is "1," then the quantity is negative (and the 32 bit integer will happily throw away the bits above it). That is, you will get a wrap-around effect. Which you will see reflected in the index calculation, when some come out negative.
This is an issue in that you want to perform the multiplication before the division, so as not to lose bits of precision. What you need to do is to operate in a higher precision, in order to do this. The rzf_3.c code has been modified for this reason, so we use tis version so you can see the difference between this and the naive rzf_2.c version.
This calls the MPI_Reduce function, taking values from every processes double precision p_sum variable, and combining them using sum reduction into the tid == 0 variable named sum.
That's our message passing. Not hard at all, but you still have to think about it.
What we measure is 6.33-6.41 seconds, quite similar to the 6.35 we predicted. Notice that the estimated error is different than in the single core run. This result leads into a whole other discussion, which we will talk about very briefly below. The point is that our code, or at least that loop, is now about 8 times faster on 8 CPUs than on one CPU. The result is quite good. Especially considering how little work this required.
Notice also that the user time is about the same as a single processes user time. Slightly more in fact, and this is due to the cost to set up and launch processes on this system. About 2 seconds appear to be needed to launch 8 processes on this system, averaging about 0.25 seconds per process. This time is expensive relative to the calculation time for this particular example, but in general, the launch time should be a small fraction of the overall run time.
Very briefly, the way roundoff error accumulates in these calculations does have an impact upon the final results. Running this sum in the other direction, which 99+% of people would normally do, accumulates error in a different order, leading to a different result. That is, when you change the order of your floating point computations, you will change the roundoff error accumulation. It it possible to observe a catastrophic loss of accuracy, impacting first and second digits of a summation like this, by not being aware of these issues.
We now have had a fairly "trivial" set of examples, and we have used up about one half of our 30 minutes. The hello case is great to use as a sanity check, specifically something to use to verify that MPI is installed and operational. The rzf code is an example of an effectively embarrassingly parallel code, there is no communication between parallel processes until the very last iteration where a sum reduction is performed.
A more complicated problem is matrix multiplication. The core algorithm in the matmul code is the triply nested for loop. You can see what happens when we run it with reasonable values of DIM. Use make -f Makefile.matmul to make the program for yourself. You can easily change the value of DIM by using matmul.exe -n DIM where DIM is the size of the array. If no arguments are given, then the default DIM is 4000.
A 4000 x 4000 matrix requires 16 million (16Mi) elements. Each element is 8 bytes (double precision floating point). This means we have each array being 128Mi bytes, or 122.07 MB (remember a MB is different than an MiB).
This suggests that the matrix fill time (calipers 1 to 2) and the normalization time (calipers 2 to 3) are under 0.1% of the execution time. So we should focus our effort upon the matrix multiplication loops.
You will likely notice that the interior loop is a sum reduction. It is basically a dot product between two vectors. That inner loop is executed N2 times. This loop is not the appropriate place to perform our decomposition.
In general, for most parallelization efforts, you want to enclose the maximum amount of work within the parallel region. This goal suggests you really want to put the directives outside the outer most loop, or as high up in the loop hierarchy as possible.
So we use a similar technique to what was used in rzf.c. Precompute the loop indexes. We will compute "panels0x201D, that is, outer loop index ranges, of the c matrix on each CPU.
Again, each process computes its own minimum and maximum for the outer loop index. These computations only require knowing the total number of processes in the MPI session, and the particular process number.
Before we discuss the rest of the code, please note that we did not restrict the argument parsing to the first process. There is no need to. It would take more effort to parse on the master node, then distribute the arguments than it would to parse on all nodes at once. Also note that we construct the initial matrices (a, b) on all of the nodes, the same way, simultaneously. In real codes, we would probably not want to do this as the matrix will be passed (sent) to the nodes, or constructed in some other manner. However, if you can divide and conquer the construction, it could be worth the effort in some cases.
At the end of the calculation, we use MPI_Send and MPI_Recv pairs to send every row of the computed panel back to the master process. This method is not meant to be efficient. It is designed solely to show that you need to pair MPI_Send with MPI_Recv. If one does not correctly complete a posted Send with a Receive), your code will block.
We could effectively remove the inner loop over k with a larger single Send/Recieve pair. This way, instead of DIM Send/Recieve pairs, we have NCPU Send/Recieve pairs. If this is one of the optimizations you would like to do, first make it work correctly, then apply the optimization.
This isn't bad. We measure 5.62x speedup on 8 CPUs. About 70% efficient. The parallel version takes 197.6 seconds as compared to over 1111 seconds.
Can we make it go any faster? There are two ways, either get better speedup using MPI or tweak the code slightly, and get good parallel performance as well as absolute performance?
With this modification, and a few additional ones to the definition and use of the variable dot (now an array), we now measure the performance for the N=4000 case. To build the code, enter, make -f Makefile.matmul_mpi2, then to run on four cores mpirun -np 4 -hostfile hostfile ./matmul_mpi -n 4000. Also note that since we "unrolled the loop" by 4, we need to make sure the array dimension (-n value) divided by the number of processes (-np value) is divisible by 4. Otherwise the program will crash, fixing it is an exercise for the reader.
This version of the program operates upon 4 rows at a time, thus increasing the amount of work done per iteration. We have also reduced the cache miss penalty per iteration by reusing some of the more expensive elements (the b[k][j]). If we were sufficiently clever, we would unroll by 2 on the j loop, which would allow us to use a cache-line at a time of b[k][j .. j+1], which could lead to even better overall performance. Of course, after all of these modifications, we check the results to make sure that the addition of parallelization has not also caused the addition of bugs.
In the final version of this code (matmult_3.c), we fix the MPI_Send/MPI_Recv pairs so that they transfer a panel at a time. This improves the performance by not having so much work focused upon data transfer at the tail end of the computation. We could further overlap communication and computation by using MPI_Isend/MPI_Irecv pairs so that after we finish each panel row or column, we start a data transfer operation. This is one of the more interesting aspects of MPI, and allows you to overlap operations, effectively hiding the latency associated with longer delay operations.
We have shown in this article how to obtain, build, and use an MPI stack for Linux machines. The MPI examples shown range from simple "hello" examples, through parallel matrix multiplication. All codes demonstrate excellent performance. The exercise takes slightly more than 30 minutes and allows one to develop and run MPI codes on a multi-core server or on a HPC cluster.

AHL New York State Of Mind
By Michael Gwizdala | November 1, 2014 - 8:00 am | November 1, 2014 PPPShow Articles
If the AHL season ended today, well that would be one short tease of a season. All joking aside, the top of the AHL standings have a distinctly Empire State look about them. Pacing the field and positioned atop the Western Conference are the Utica Comets with 14 points. Jump over to the Eastern Conference and you'll find the Albany Devils and their 13 points leading the charge up top. Mind you, in a New York minute, everything can change. That said, there was a lot to be excited about along the Thruway in October.
Utica Comets (6-1-2-0, 14 points, 1st place Western Conference) – Jacob Markstrom knows a thing or two about playing in Upstate, suiting up for 37 games with the Rochester Americans in 2010-11 campaign. Recently named AHL player of the week, Markstrom along with his dazzling goals against average of 0.99 and his shutout string of 238:08, fell just 30:09 shy of the league record, after yielding a goal to Alexander Guptil of the Binghamton Senators on Friday evening. Before dropping that 4-3 OT decision to the B-Sens, Utica had run off four straight victories. Thus far, Utica is powered on offense by Cal O'Reilly, whose eleven points are tied for third best in the AHL and by newcomer Dustin Jeffery and his four goals and eight points in all. The Comets can also play defense, ranking seventh on the penalty kill. Utica is starting right where they left off the second half of their inaugural season, the hottest thing on ice. Utica will also be hosting the AHL All-Star Game this season.
Albany Devils (6-0-0-1, 13 points, 1st place Eastern Conference) – It has been a start of epic proportions for the A-Devils. Their start is not only tied for the best in franchise history but also squares with the finest opening to a season in Albany AHL history, right with the 1994-95 Albany River Rats, who began that year 4-0-3 and oh by the way, also won the Calder Cup. Normally when one thinks Devils, the conversation turns to goaltending and defense and they have that. Yet this team can fill it up too. Albany led the AHL with 32 markers in October. Paul Thompson and Scott Timmins lead the squad with nine points apiece. Thompson leads the AHL with seven goals as well. In six out of seven games, Albany has boasted at least one multiple goal scorer. Albany ranks third on the power play and tenth on the penalty kill. The Devils skate into November on a five-game winning streak and are the only remaining AHL team yet to suffer a regulation or overtime defeat.
Rochester Americans (6-2-0-0, 12 points, t-4th place Western Conference) – Well Terry Pegula, two out of three ain't bad for your Rochester Americans, Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills, as far as good starts go. Rochester has won two straight contests and closed out October with a 3-0 blanking of the Syracuse Crunch, at the Salt City. Blue liner Chad Ruhwedel tops the club with nine points. Additionally, Joel Armia, Phil Varone and Mikhail Grigorenko all lead the Amerks attack, potting four goals apiece. With the extra attacker this year, Rochester is ninth in the league. The Amerks are also the fourth most penalized team in the league.
Binghamton Senators (3-4-2-0, 8 points, t-10th place Eastern Conference) – Following a rough stretch, the B-Sens ended October on a high note, edging the aforementioned Comets, in a 4-3 OT contest at the Utica Aud. "Missed it by that much." The B-Sens are having a Maxwell Smart type start to their season, win or lose, eight of their first nine contests have been decided by a single goal. Leading Binghamton in scoring with six goals and eleven points is Chris Wideman, ranking him tied for third in the AHL in points. Those six tallies also tie Wideman for second in the league. Bingo is also a commendable 12th in the AHL on the penalty kill.
Syracuse Crunch (3-4-1-0, 7 points, t-12th place Eastern Conference) – A new division but still scuffling are the Crunch. Is the honeymoon over with Tampa in 'Cuse? So far the Crunch appear to be a streaky team and are still in the feeling out process. Having won three straight and garnered points in four consecutive games, Syracuse has now dropped three straight to end October. Jonathan Marchessault leads the club with seven points thus far. They hope that off-season acquisition Jerome Samson can rev it up in the goal column in November. The Crunch will also look to improve their special teams units in the second month of the season.
Adirondack Flames (3-5-1-0, 7 points, t-9th Western Conference) – Hockey is still in Glens Falls and still as vibrant as ever. Despite the "Scorch" mascot debacle, an opening night drubbing to the team just down I-87 and a 12 game suspension to Trevor Gillies, the Flames have rebounded and found their footing of late. Nothing will ever be the Adirondack Red Wings but one can sense that fans are more optimistic about this squad than its predecessors now back in PA. On the year, Adirondack is third in the league in penalty minutes. The Flames are also an impressive second overall on the power play, although their penalty kill ranks dead last. Before his recent call-up to Calgary, Michael Ferland was leading the A-Flames with four goals and nine points. Also called up was second leading scorer Markus Granlund and his five points. Adirondack has won two consecutive contests and will need to be resilient going forward.

Who doesn't love a view? Few sights surpass blue mountains stretching across the horizon beneath an endless sky. In my part of the United States, you can easily see such a view by pulling off at an overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway, a 469-mile scenic road that begins in Virginia and winds its way down through North Carolina.
Sadly, I take this view of undulating blue hills for granted. In fact, my original plan for Photography 101's Landscape theme was to drive out to Max Patch, a bald mountain on the Appalachian Trail. Situated on the North Carolina-Tennessee border, Max Patch offers an amazing 360-degree view of the surrounding mountain groups: the Bald Mountains, the Great Smokies, the Unakas, the Black Mountains, and the Great Balsams. You need a video camera to capture the astonishing scenery at Max Patch.
June 2011: A partial glimpse of the 360-degree view at Max Patch. Click here for my unsteady video of the view.
Life interfered with my plans for a panoramic photo at Max Patch, so I chose an easy — and obvious — option for a landscape picture: the Haw Creek Valley Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. En route to the overlook, my son and I made an unscheduled pit stop at the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center. This was my first time inside the Visitor Center, where several hands-on exhibits caught my son's eye. Meanwhile, my eyes were drawn to William Blake's words — "Great things are done when men and mountains meet" — emblazoned across a photograph near the entrance.
In this context, Blake's statement is lauding the Blue Ridge Parkway as a "great thing" achieved by the conjunction of men and mountains. Construction of the Parkway began in 1935 as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal and was finally completed in 1987. In every subsequent year since 1946, the Parkway has been America's most visited national site. As the longest linear park in the United States, the Parkway annually gives millions of visitors access to campsites and hikes, vistas and waterfalls, wildflowers and trees. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a remarkable achievement.
As someone who benefits from the Blue Ridge Parkway, I am torn between sympathy for the mountain farmers whose property rights were overruled and gratitude for the engineers and CCC workers who made the mountains accessible to everyone. Because farmers like Miller sacrificed their land, the mountains bordering the Parkway are now a place for refuge and reflection – a beautiful place that provides recreational opportunities and inspires artists and writers.
In my reading of Blake's epigram, he was not thinking of a specific "great" achievement when he wrote, "Great things are done when men and mountains meet. / This is not done by jostling in the street." A Romantic poet who hated the ugliness of industrialization and wrote of England's "dark Satanic mills," Blake is speaking here of that sense of wonder and awe that descends upon us when we gaze on a landscape too large for our circumscribed minds to comprehend. Blake lived in London all his life — amidst the jostling of nineteenth-century London's dirty, crowded streets.The great thing for Blake would have been solace for his soul and freedom for his thoughts as he gazed upon mountains.
Does the creation of a public treasure like the Blue Ridge Parkway justify the high price paid by Miller and many others? Thinking of the countless visitors who have gazed in wonder at views along the Parkway, I would answer, "Yes" – but, then, it wasn't my land.

Does procrastination get in the way of you taking action?
Sometimes I find my fear of not getting things right paralyzes me from taking action. It is at these times that I take a breath and say to myself, "Let this be a teachable moment." By teachable moments I mean, if I make a mistake or something isn't perfect it is OK, there is always something to learn about myself or perhaps the situation.
The other night I uploaded a sample of my latest book to Create Space, a print-on-demand, self-publishing website associated with Amazon. I then posted the link on Facebook for friends to see and leave their comments. Much to my dismay a client contacted me to let me know that there was a word missing in one of the thank you's. At first I felt embarrassed and then I was grateful that it was a sample and not the finished product so it is a great thing that the mistake was found.
It took me so long to even get the sample up because I was in fear that it wasn't good enough. The funny thing is, that had I not posted the sample, the mistake may have been overlooked.
When I shift out of fear and do it anyway knowing that how it lands will always be a teachable moment, I seem to get a lot more done. See what happens for you.
PS. Have a look at the sample of 100 Minutes of Inspiration here: www.createspace.com/Preview/1091565 and please leave your feedback. If you find any more typos please be sure to let me know!


The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has asked the High Court to start the hearing on the review petition filed by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia against a lower court verdict sentencing five years' imprisonment in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain passed the order on Thursday after keeping the petition stand over till July 31.
It also made an observation saying if the hearing of the petition would not finish by this time, the SC will consider it, according to a UNB report.
On July 9, the Supreme Court fixed July 12 for passing an order on a review petition filed by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia against its order asking the High Court to dispose of her appeal in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
Earlier on May 16, the SC upheld the High Court order that had granted bail to convicted BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in the graft case.
The SC also issued an order to dispose of Khaleda's appeal challenging the lower court's verdict in the case by July 31.
Later, Khaleda's lawyer filed a petition on June 25 seeking review of the order.
On February 8, the Dhaka Special Court-5 convicted the former Prime Minister and BNP chairperson and sentenced her to five years' imprisonment in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
She was then sent to old central jail at Nazimuddin Road in the city.

Local Knowledge: Sinma Laksa House
One of the best Malaysian eats in Sydney can be found in Kingsford.
The name's somewhat misleading. When it first opened, Sinma was close to being a laksa house, serving just a few Malaysian classics: laksa, char kway teow, fried rice. Then the chefs started doing research trips to Malaysia.
"When we go back to Malaysia we eat the hawker food. We come back and try what we like here," says chef Thomas Nah, the owner's nephew. "Every time we try five dishes. We see which ones the customers like. Maybe they like one or two and then the rest we take off." The many customer favourites mean that, ten years after opening with its basic dishes, the restaurant offers all the mainstream Chinese-Malaysian dishes and a fair group of Indian and Malay specialties as well (Chinese, Indian and Malay are Malaysia's three main cultural groups).
Somewhat confusingly, though, the menu is not a single document; rather, it's separated into random listings pasted on the walls, shuffled underneath plastic table covers and scrawled across several unrelated specials menus. The haphazardness of it all, combined with bright-patterned tablecloths, an open tank of live crabs and a scattering of seemingly random trinkets, makes it visually pretty close to what you'd find in Malaysia. The difficulty is deciphering it all to work out what to order.
Most of Sinma's Malaysian customers will tell you the classics are some of the best in Sydney, but few customers will be able to spot the regional dishes. "We are from Johor, near Singapore," says Nah. One of the specialties of that city is lontong curry, a laksa-like soup with rice cakes, shrimp, tofu, cabbage and sambal. The other is a lemongrass-heavy dry chicken curry. "It's not in the menu but it's one of the most famous ones [we serve] here," says the chef.
That's not to say the dishes from Penang or Kuala Lumpur should be ignored, either. Probably the best example of these are the butter prawns, a rather technical dish not often seen in Sydney's Malaysian restaurants. The difficulty comes in the keeping the egg-yolk, butter and coconut-based batter crisp, which Nah and his team do with aplomb. For those unacquainted with the dish, or Malaysian food generally, you eat the whole prawn. The head, softened from the fry, is the most prized part.
Another Malaysian staple that may feel bewildering to the unacquainted can be found on the drinks list. Along with the regular teh tarik (milky frothed tea), Malaysians are also particularly fond of fruit juices. You'll notice if you order one, whether it's apple, watermelon, orange or carrot, it'll be sweeter than expected. That's from the sweetened condensed milk, an essential ingredient in almost every Malaysian drink.

Japan's largest confectioner Morinaga & Co. just announced plans to end all animal testing not required by law. The decision was made following conversations with the largest animal rights organization in the world, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
Morinaga & Co. has been in business for more than 100 years selling candy, soft drinks, and ice cream. It is also the brand behind the popular candy HI-CHEW, sold in the United States.
Previously, the company conducted "cruel and archaic tests," writes PETA, to put forward health claims about its food items. Morinaga & Co. has published its experiments in the past, revealing that it force-fed, starved, irradiated, and injected nearly 100 mice and rats. The animals were then killed by cervical dislocation (whereby the neck is broken) and dissected.
PETA reached out to the candy company urging it to reconsider its experimentation, highlighting that the tests are not required by law, the results cannot be applied to humans, and the ingredients being tested — like passion fruit seed extract, aloe vera, and grape extract — hold no toxicity concerns. "In effect, there was no reason the tests couldn't be conducted using human subjects or other high-tech, non-animal testing methods," the animal rights group said.
As a result, Morinaga & Co. pledged to no longer engage in animal testing, joining many other brands that have made similar promises. Global personal care brand Dove recently announced it had gained a PETA cruelty-free certification. Similarly, the largest producer of ramen noodles in North America ended its tests on animals, as did three other major food and beverage companies.
A growing number of studies prove that consumers prefer products that are not tested on animals. Previous research uncovered that 72 percent of people find animal testing to be "inhumane or unethical." And in October, The Body Shop delivered a petition to the United Nations that boasted 8.3 million signatures, urging the UN to end cosmetic animal testing around the globe.
As well as the animal cruelty involved in experimentation, animal testing is said to be an ineffective way of predicting human reaction to products, only doing so 40 to 60 percent of the time.
Japan's largest candy brand Morinaga & Co. vowed to stop animal testing as more and more consumers opt for products that are cruelty-free.

Jessie Fagan (nearest the camera) and colleagues from the South African Museum and University of Cape Town, at work unearthing stone at Cape Town's Golden Acre - part of a dam wall dating back to the earliest days of the Cape. It is hoped to remove sections for preservation.
Mr Michael Wilson (left), the archaeologist working on the Golden Acre site, points out a section of what may be the wall of Van Riebeeck's historic 'drinkwaterback' dam to Mr Graeme Clark, site engineer.
Label on every stone - The first part of the dismantling process of the historic wall sections got under way at the Golden Acre site yesterday when detailed photographs of the stones were taken from a hydraulic crane. Each stone has been labelled to assist the SA Museum authorities to rebuild them exactly as they were. The sections were provisionally declared national monuments. The fate of the reservoir is still to be decided.
A section of a 250-year-old canal wall was lifted at the Golden Acre site today. The canal originally formed part of an attractive grid of canals, some of which linked what are now Adderley, Plein, Darling and Strand Streets. The wall is to be stored and later re-erected on the piazza of the shopping centre to be built on the site.
The old Heerengracht stream which flowed through this brickwork watercourse has been re-routed above the underground pedestrian walkway.

I founded and direct an LGBTQ+ arts non-profit called LoveisLoveisLove. The campaign is the largest documentation of LGBTQ+ folks conducted in the history of Canada. The project produces high-end photo booths in partnership with Pride Festivals, where it shoots LGBTQ+ folks in duos, asking them to interpret the theme "love is love". It then publishes these photos on social media, where they see significant traffic. To date, this content has digitally engaged 500,000+ people and received the support of high profile politicians at the provincial and municipal level. The campaign leverages the brand awareness built from this core service to produce other initiatives that support the community. In 2018 the campaign began producing large-scale art installations in major civic spaces in Ontario, including one of the largest installations ever produced in Toronto City Hall. It also partnered with Peace Collective, a clothing brand, to raise the seed funding for a scholarship program that will launch in Q1-Q2 2019.
The campaign's success was noted by the Canadian Government, who provided funding for its 2018 Ottawa Pride activation. Of the hundreds of initiatives it funded, the Federal Government felt that LoveisLoveisLove best represented the success of this particular granting program. They invited me to speak at WE Day Canada in front of an audience of 16,000, where I was introduced by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance. I gave a speech on the importance of civic engagement and accessing federal resources, calling on youth to do more for their communities. In tandem with civilian government engagement, I worked with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to produce a pilot LGBTQ+ inclusivity campaign. I then helped facilitate the CAF's first-ever high-level LGBTQ+ community consultation. I advised the CAF on which organizations and activists would be productive to engage with, and, at this consultation, presented my own recommendations to the Chief of the Defence Staff, who is the de facto commander-in-chief of the CAF, second in authority only to Queen Elizabeth II.
Outside LGBTQ+ activism, I focus on employment for people recovering from mental health issues. In 2018 I donated $7,500 in professional headshot services to Progress Place, an organization that services those struggling with mental health. The headshots were used in support of Progress Place's transitional employment program.

Brian Croft of The Gospel Coalition posted this sobering review of Eugene H. Peterson's Book The Pastor: A Memoir.
Be careful that your calling and ministry is evaluated by Scripture, not experience.
Pastors, make sure as we reflect back on our own ministries that not just our experiences with our flock come to our minds. A confidence in God's sovereignty, the hope of justification by faith alone in Christ, and the unchangeable attributes of our great God could never be absent as we share about those experiences, especially, if you are that unique gift of an older pastor.

New Dead Families
It's Time by: Tantra Bensko
Teeminhoffer was late, but no one held it against him, as he was dead. He hadn't been dead long, so didn't know the ropes. He hadn't been to the training session of how to change diapers by rolling them up under the guy, and then sticking the new diaper up under the old one, rolling him back over. So, he was going to be a little nervous when faced with doing that right off the bat.
"Which kind of bat are we talking about here?" Norman is serious.
"The baseball kind."
"Oh, good. I thought probably, but I wasn't sure." Bat whistling sounds, wings flapping, and a wide eyed look with his dry lower lip stuck in under his yellowing front teeth lets you know what he is referring to.
People crowded around the elderly at the workshop for how to care for your loved ones as they aged. The elderly consisted of one man, Norm, lying down on a bed on pink sheets.
"Are you implying something by that remark?"
"No, Norm, just sayin'"
Teeminhoffer was supposed to be showing the trainees how to do some of it, as he was one of the recruited trainers. There was no money available to pay the trainers, so the committee of the town of Powell resorted to using dead people, but not the old, decaying ones, just fresh ones. Those who were kept youthful by their hope for going up to heaven in the Rapture. It did wonders for their skin, that hope.
The people who had gathered to learn decided to set something on fire, had a little arson getting up in their blood. They were getting anxious, without the excitement of training. Norm was starting to snore, though he was still awake. His bed was situated on a rolling hill among many rolling hills, which could be easily seen as far as the eye could look, covered with some kind of purple flowering crop.
"Snort!" says Norm, as, obviously, anyone at this point telling the story should know what kind of plants they are. Sorry.
They started kicking diapers around, and one of the dozen folks set fire to one diaper with his handy lighter and kicked that one around as it flamed. The kittens on the hillside screeched, and dodged, leaped and grabbed, and hid behind people's legs, making them go OW.
The smoke got to Teeminhoffer's nostrils, and got him up out of the hammock. He was luxuriating in the timelessness of death, no longer truly feeling the need for linear time, a watch, chronology, as he was looking at the world from an advanced perspective. Everything happening at once, eternity in an instant.
He ran through the purple flowering crops, in the sunshine, hearing the screeching growing louder, following the smoke. "Sorry I'm late, gang!"
They were laughing so hard, they didn't notice, until someone bumped into him, and went "EWW!"
"Put on your gloves, Teeminhoffer. Time to get going with this thing."
He did, and bent over Norm to show the first lesson: how to change his diapers.
"So, when you undo them, you first bend back the little tabs here, or they stick to him. Just do that right off the bat." Norm started shivering, and couldn't contain his bat wing imitation, making high pitched whistles, and shining his eye maniacally.
"Now, get him to roll over."
"Woof! Woofwoof!" said Norm. He panted, and rolled to his side, grabbing the bars on the edge of his bed. He squinted, as the late afternoon sun was in his eyes.
"You take out a new diaper, open it out, like this, get this side ready to go under his butt. Set it on his pillow. Now, start roooooollllling the old one up under him, and push it under his butt. Then, take the new one and push it under the old one, under his butt."
"But…! But…!" sputtered Norm, grinning. "I'm going under!" He splayed his body out, and thrashed, as if he were drowning. He was a bit of a card.
"I heard that," he says. So, of course, he flattens himself out as much as humanly possible, raising his shoulders up, squeezing his arms close to his body, and lying stiffly. "And guess which one I am?"
"A Royal Flush?"
"Ha ha, you idiot. Now, do you know better than that, or what?" asks Norm. He settles down, worn out by the stupidity.
Teeminhoffer continued with the rest of the diaper lesson, the catheter changing, finger pricking, blood pressure taking, and so on. He was thinking about how he'd be tired if he were alive, and wanting coffee. But he was free. He needed nothing. No naps. No sex. No nothing. He smiled bigger and bigger. The trainees looked a little jealous. They picked at the diaper to straighten it, looked again at the blood sugar log book, wiped the sweat off their foreheads.
Class ended, and the volunteers grabbed Norm's bed by the metal handles on the sides to pull it.
"SQUAAUUK!" yells Norm, imitating a pullet.
Teeminhoffer thought about how soon Norm would be inhabiting the world outside of time, just as he did, able to watch the action, from afar, being in it, as he had been, but also reading the minds of those who remember it, influencing the minds of those who would be told the stories in the future, doing whatever he wanted. He knew Norm would fully take advantage of that opportunity, while Teeminhoffer was more interested in getting back to his hammock stretched between two oak trees.
Norm lifted up his head as he was being pulled along in his bed, squeezing his lips together, and making his eyes look fierce, his cheeks lifted up in an uncontrollable grin that he was trying to hide behind the bizarre face. He looked at one person in the group after another, enigmatically, waiting for a response. He'd look innocent, as if he were just an old man to be treated gently, as soon as they would grimace or grin, stare, or shake their heads. Then, they would look confused, embarrassed, sorry for their faux pax.
"I've got fo paws!" says Norm, holding up his hands, and lifting his feet up as high as he can with a sheet over them, wiggling his hands and feet, and going "Rhharrr!"

Q: how to generate for loop Hello had a pretty simple problem, I'm trying to create a console program in C# that gets 3 inputs from the user. The start, stop and number of steps.
It's supposed to be a for loop but I don't really get how I can put user input in the for loop, I tried making int's of the user input and then placing the names of the int's in the for loop but it's giving me errors.
The program is supposed to look like the following program in "Ovning 1" site is in Swedish but I hope you guys will get it, tried searching the site but there was never an explanation given. http://csharpskolan.se/showarticle.php?id=119
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ovning12
{
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        Console.WriteLine("Mata in Start");
        int startNummer = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        Console.WriteLine("Mata in Stop");
        int stopNummer = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        Console.WriteLine("Mata in Steg");
        int stegNummer = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        for (int startNummer; startNummer >= stopNummer; startNummer + stegNummer)
        {
            Console.WriteLine();

        }
    }
}
}

A: static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Mata in Start");
        int startNummer = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        Console.WriteLine("Mata in Stop");
        int stopNummer = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        Console.WriteLine("Mata in Steg");
        int stegNummer = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        for (int n = startNummer; n < stopNummer; n += stegNummer)
        {
            Console.Write(n + " ");
           Console.Write("{0} ", n); //(Alternative)
        }
    }

A: a for loop should look like this
for (int i = startNummer; i <= stopNummer; i += stegNummer)
{
    Console.Write(i + " ");
}

there are 3 mistakes in your current code:
for (int startNummer; startNummer >= stopNummer; startNummer + stegNummer)

*

*you can't initialize a variable twice int startNummer; - that won't compile

*your comparison heads into the wrong direction (except you're working with negative steps) startNummer >= stopNummer

*you're not assigning the calculated new step here startNummer + stegNummer - it should be startNummer += stegNummer or  startNummer =  startNummer + stegNummer

A: Most of it looks okay. But couple of things do not make sense,
for (int startNummer; startNummer >= stopNummer; startNummer + stegNummer);
{
        Console.WriteLine();
}

there's a semi colon ';' at the end of for loop. This ends for loop, making next curly braces syntax error. Also startNumber >= stopNumber and then startNumber + stegNumber would possibly either not run it at all, or run an infinite loop based on the inputs.
Is this for loop supposed to be like below?
for (int start = startNummer /*have to initialize the start value*/;
     start < stopNummer;
     start += stegNummer)
{
        Console.Write(start + " "); //need Console.Write to print all numbers on same line. Console.WriteLine puts each index on its own line
}

A gorgeous vase by Thom Lussier from his fantastic 'Fairy' series of ceramic vessels. The artist applies a mixture of different glazing techniques to create richly textured surfaces. The vase's external surface is reminiscent of wood bark, while its interior is a smoothly glazed pale mint-green. An exciting detail is the winglike fin that wraps around the vase in a beautiful, curved form. This fin is a pleasing mix of oceanic blues and beiges.


in these days leading up to christmas, i'm taking a break from writing about mark's gospel to reflect on what i've read and written about so far. i have read this gospel many times but this is the first time i've journaled about it. one of the things that has surprised me is how little we know about jesus. we have the four gospels that were written some time after the lifetime of jesus and a few mentions of him from other sources. we don't even know who the writers of the gospels were or much about them, though two of them have been attributed to the disciples, matthew and john.
when i try and peak behind the miracles mark writes about to the actual man of flesh and blood, i see a jesus who is filled with compassion for the suffering of others. the writer wants us to believe that jesus was able to cure all sorts of physical and mental illnesses and diseases and to raise people from the dead, perhaps to convince his readers that jesus was more than a mere mortal, maybe God incarnate. to accept these supernatural deeds as fact obscures the person i claim to be a follower of and diminishes his true nature, i think. if jesus were primarily a faith healer in the mold of current-day charlatans, he would not be worthy of following.
i see a jesus who gives people hope in a God who is more loving than the god of the religious authorities of his day, who condemns the rule-based religion that oppresses common folk and colludes with the roman conquerors to exploit a subject population. this jesus is brave enough to confront false teachers, even at the risk of his own life.
as i think about christmas, i grow weary of hearing that "jesus is the reason for the season." the appropriation of various winter solstice celebrations for our own religious purposes diminishes the person we christians claim to follow. insisting that there is no other way to celebrate christmas is insulting to non-christians and to the many christians who believe it is a mistake to commemorate jesus' birth on one specific day in december. there's nothing wrong with observing december 25th as the anniversary of jesus' birth, but it's not the only way to celebrate the season. i love hearing the stories of the angels and the shepherds, of the wise men, of the journey of mary and joseph to bethlehem where their child was born in a manger. i love singing the carols and seeing churches decked out in greenery and twinkling lights. i love decorating our home for christmas. christmas is all that and much more. it is a season of giving to loved ones and to those who are in need, of hoping that there will be peace and good will on earth, of special foods and sweet treats, of gathering together as families. all these things are possible whether we are observing the birth of a religious figure, enjoying chanukah or any number of ancient holidays, or treating this season as an entirely secular time of year. why not let christmas have whatever significance it has for each person and allow all to enjoy christmas in their own ways without insisting that our way in the only way?
may you have a joyous holiday season. if this is a time of sadness for you, may you find solace and peace. may you give to others as you are able and graciously accept the gifts you receive. may you continue to seek truth wherever it can be found. shalom.

New York expects flood of child sex abuse lawsuits
The Catholic Church, the Boy Scouts, schools and hospitals are expected to be hit by hundreds of lawsuits under a new law lifting the statute of limitations on child sexual abuse cases.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of civil lawsuits are expected to be filed in New York by victims of sexual abuse against institutions including the Roman Catholic Church under a temporary state law that went into effect on Wednesday.
Hundreds of people filed lawsuits on the first day of a one-year window allowing molestation lawsuits that had been blocked by New York's statute of limitations, which were one of the most restrictive in the nation.

The Catholic Church, the Boy Scouts, schools, youth groups and hospitals are among the many institutions expected to be hit by lawsuits that could reach hundreds of millions of dollars and put them under financial strain.
At least one woman who alleges she was sexually abused by Jeffery Epstein and associates filed a lawsuit against the financier's estate. More were expected to follow. Epstein died from an apparent suicide at a New York City prison on Saturday while awaiting trial.
Juan Carlos Cruz, sexual abuse survivor, in an interview with DW
State lawmakers last year passed the Child Victims Act lifting the statute of limitations that had prevented litigation against decades-old crimes of child sexual abuse.
The law means that beginning Wednesday victims of any age in New York have one year to file civil lawsuits against an alleged offender. The law also extended the statute of limitations for new victims to file civil lawsuits until the age of 55 and until the age of 28 to seek criminal charges. Previously, victims of child sexual abuse had until the age of 23 to file criminal charges or seek damages in civil lawsuits.

Catholic Church bracing for financial blow
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York said in a statement that it anticipated a stream of lawsuits and invited "people to consider" a compensation program for those sexually abused by clergy.
Since the program was instituted in 2016, the archdiocese has paid more than $66 million (€59 million) in compensation to 335 victims.
"While we carefully review the claims made in these suits, we ask that people pray for peace and healing for all those who have suffered from the sin and crime of the sexual abuse of minors, wherever it occurred," the archdiocese's statement said.
A similar law passed in California in 2002 led the Catholic dioceses there to pay $1.2 billion in legal settlements.
Advocates, mental health experts and victims say it can take years for those abused to open up about sexual crimes committed against them by powerful figures such as priests, teachers or other adults. Shame, embarrassment, fear and a feeling that no one would believe them also play a role in failing to come forward.

Mayor István Tarlós has inaugurated the capital's first light garden on Margaret Island, where he presented the multimedia expansion of the musical fountain.
In a short speech István Tarlós said that every evening, celebrities and photos of historical persons will be shown on the water curtain of the fountain, while on the northern side of the island 100-140 years old trees will be illuminated in different shapes. The mayor said he hopes that these developments will bring new joy to the citizens of Budapest and its visitors.
The animation projected on the water curtain can be seen as part of the music program until the end of the summer, every night from 9 am to 10 p.m., depending on the time of sunset.

At least one death reported after a building collapses.
Typhoon Yutu's 180 mph winds overturned cars, knocked down hundreds of power poles and left an island of thousands without a medical center and another without an airport. Buildings were reduced to haphazard piles of tin and wood; if a structure wasn't made of concrete, one resident said, it was probably wiped out by the most powerful tropical cyclone to hit any part of the United States since 1935.
Yutu spent roughly seven hours thrashing the small islands of Saipan and Tinian, the most populous part of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory, early Thursday morning local time. Residents of the islands north of Guam are accustomed to typhoons but quickly attested that this was the worst they'd seen.
Yutu's gigantic eye enveloped much of Saipan and all of Tinian, leaving the islands "mangled," as one local official told The Washington Post. Rescue and relief operations have begun, but officials say their efforts are being hampered by dangerous weather and widespread destruction, which includes "extensive damage to critical infrastructure," according to an update Thursday from the governor's office. One woman on Saipan, who took shelter in an abandoned building that collapsed on her, died during the storm.
"We just went through one of the worst storms I've seen in all my experience in emergency management," local emergency management official Gerald J. Deleon Guerrero said in a statement.
The Thursday update cited hundreds of downed power poles and a "significantly large number of downed transformers and conductors" on Saipan and Tinian. It said that the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency had been asked for "700 to 800 power poles, transformers, and additional materials to begin power restoration," which will have to be done before water service can be restored.
According to figures released by the Weather Underground website, Yutu was tied with the fifth-highest wind speed of any storm on record as it made landfall. Only a few storms, including 2013′s Super Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines, have been stronger, and even then not by much. For the United States, just one storm — the 1935 Labor Day hurricane that hit the Florida Keys — is believed to have been more powerful.
The Northern Mariana Islands are the most recent U.S. territory to have been pummeled by a strong hurricane in the past two years. The U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico suffered calamitous strikes in the 2017 hurricane season, and Guam was recently struck by Typhoon Mangkhut.
Overall, the escalating impacts on U.S. island territories in the Pacific and Caribbean underscore that as seas rise and storms worsen with climate change, small islands face some of the most extreme risks on Earth. Many have organized into the Alliance of Small Island States to push for strong action to curb global warming. Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa are affiliated with the organization.
John J. Marra, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's regional climate services director for the Pacific islands, said in an interview that in the short term, natural variability will play a greater role in determining where typhoons hit and how intense they are.
Nikolao Pula, who directs the Interior Department's Office of Insular Affairs, said in a phone interview that Secretary Ryan Zinke heard Pacific leaders' concerns about climate change during his recent tour of the region. Zinke noted that there are other large greenhouse gas emitters besides the United States but that the department is focused on addressing the territories' immediate needs.
"Hey, how can we help fix those issues we need to fix, and we will leave the science to the scientists," Pula said, describing the secretary's approach.
At the moment, there are plenty of items in need of fixing.
Jose Mafnas, a resident of Saipan, told The Post in a phone interview that he lost his roof.
Still, Mafnas said, he was "at a loss for words" when he first saw the havoc Yutu wreaked on his island. "I knew the damage would be significant, but coming out in the morning, even with that knowledge, I was still surprised by how devastating it was."
Frank Camacho, a photographer from Saipan who was on Guam, about 135 miles to the south, stayed in touch with family members and friends via WhatsApp and relayed to The Post what they were experiencing.
The full extent of the damage is not known, Nadine Deleon Guerrero, an external affairs officer with the commonwealth's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, told The Post in a phone interview. Preliminary assessments cannot be carried out until the weather improves, but speaking on the basis of "windshield assessments," Guerrero said the devastation caused by Yutu is "five times worse" than that from Typhoon Soudelor, which slammed the islands in 2015. Soudelor was the strongest tropical cyclone in the 2015 Pacific typhoon season.
In general, the northwest Pacific, where tropical cyclones are referred to as typhoons, not hurricanes, has the most numerous and strongest storms on the planet.
"It's so much damage," Guerrero said. "This is the worst storm that I've ever seen."
On Tinian, conditions were equally grim.
Emergency shelters on Saipan and Tinian are full, Robert Schwalbach, a spokesman for Del. Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sablan (D), the islands' representative in Congress, told The Post in an email. Saipan's health center is running on emergency power, and the one in Tinian, which has no patients, "sustained major damage," Schwalbach said.
On Saipan, Guerrero said the government's main priority is providing aid to those who lost their homes. It is not yet clear how many lack shelter, but the number is likely in the hundreds, she said. The plan is to work with local and federal agencies to distribute tents that can survive winds of up to 60 mph, she said.
President Trump declared a disaster in the Marianas before the storm made landfall, and dozens of FEMA personnel were positioned on Saipan and Tinian because they had been working on Guam because of Mangkhut. On Thursday, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar declared a public health emergency in the territory.
FEMA spokesman Marty Bahamonde said in a phone interview Thursday that agency officials on the ground in the Northern Marinanas had sheltered in place and started working with local officials Thursday to assess the damage. He added that the agency activated its national response coordination center to operate on a 24-7 basis Wednesday night, allowing all of the federal agencies involved in the response to start planning and moving supplies that are needed in the region.
"We are synced with the Saipan government and are working to understand what the damages are and what the needs are going to be," Bahamonde said.
The Interior Department's Pula — who said his field representative on Saipan was texting updates Thursday as he hid under his table and part of his roof blew off — reported that many of the roofs at the island's community college had blown off, and other schools had sustained serious damage. With ports closed, Saipan's airport shut down and major power outages taking place, he added, the islands' vibrant tourism sector had suffered a severe blow.

Chris Rock to Star in Fargo: Season 4
The new season will premiere in 2019.
By Terri Schwartz
Updated: 3 Aug 2018 9:45 pm
Posted: 3 Aug 2018 5:10 pm
FX's Fargo is tapping one of its biggest names yet for its fourth season. The network announced Chris Rock will be joining the latest season of the anthology series.
Rock will play the lead of one of a families at the center of Season 4. He's described as "a man who — in order to prosper — has surrendered his oldest boy to his enemy, and who must in turn raise his son's enemy as his own. It's an uneasy peace, but profitable. And then the head of the Kansas City mafia goes into the hospital for routine surgery and dies. And everything changes. It's a story of immigration and assimilation, and the things we do for money. And as always, a story of basically decent people who are probably in over their heads. You know, Fargo."
Book to TV Adaptations We Can't Wait to Watch
Fargo Season 4 will enter production in 2019, and is slated to premiere the same year. Season 4 will be set in the 1950s. The synopsis for the season reads:
"At the end of two great American migrations — that of Southern Europeans from countries like Italy, who came to the US at the turn of the last century and settled in northern cities like New York, Chicago — and African Americans who left the south in great numbers to escape Jim Crow and moved to those same cities — you saw a collision of outsiders, all fighting for a piece of the American dream. In Kansas City, Missouri, two criminal syndicates have struck an uneasy peace. One Italian, one African American. Together they control an alternate economy — that of exploitation, graft and drugs. This too is the history of America. To cement their peace, the heads of both families have traded their eldest sons."
In a statement from FX, Rock said, "I'm a fan of Fargo and I can't wait to work with Noah." Rock previously worked with the network as executive producer of Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell.
"It came about because Noah really wanted to work with Chris," FX CEO John Landgraf told members of the Television Film Critics' Association. "Chris got really excited and signed on right away."

"The angel intern would do all of it": Junior doctors, ethics and role conflict
Rosalind McDougall1,2
1 Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne VIC 3010, rmcdo@unimelb.edu.au
2 Children's Bioethics Centre, Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne
Medical internship has long been the subject of sociological study. However, ethical analysis of this crucial intersection between medical school and professional practice has been very limited. To date there has been little systematic philosophical work that focuses specifically on junior doctors. Instead, in ethical discussions, interns and residents tend to be included either with medical students or with their more senior colleagues.
In this paper, I argue that interns and residents differ from both medical students and more experienced doctors in ethically important ways. Their working context requires them to play multiple roles simultaneously, including doctor, subjugate team member, learner, and hospital employee. The demands of these multiple roles create a set of ethical challenges for junior doctors that is unique to their professional stage. Further, the potentially conflicting demands of these multiple roles limit the ways in which junior doctors can act in response to the ethical difficulties that they encounter.
On the basis of in-depth qualitative interviews with fourteen Melbourne-based junior doctors and a review of research findings about junior doctors across various disciplines, I develop a typology of the kinds of ethical challenges associated with internship and residency. These include being involved in treatment perceived as futile, seniors discouraging disclosure of errors, and reporting unrostered hours.
I also develop and use a role-based framework as a way of analysing the ethical challenges faced by interns and residents. I argue that this role-based framework both reflects and engages with junior doctors' specific position of agency and thus captures a fuller range of moral considerations than do other possible modes of analysis.
Dr Rosalind McDougall is a Research Fellow in Ethics at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health at the University of Melbourne, and at the Children's Bioethics Centre at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. She studied at the University of Melbourne and the University of Oxford, and has published widely in clinical ethics and reproductive ethics. Her research interests include paediatric clinical ethics, parenthood, and the ethical challenges faced by junior doctors.

J&J Reaches Opioid Settlement With Holdout State New Mexico
By Nate Raymond
(Reuters) -Johnson & Johnson on Friday said it had agreed to pay $44 million to resolve claims that it fueled the opioid epidemic in New Mexico, a state which originally opted against participating in a nationwide settlement resolving thousands of similar cases.
The drugmaker said the $44 million was consistent with the terms of a proposal for J&J and drug distributors McKesson Corp, AmerisourceBergen Corp and Cardinal Health Inc to pay up to $26 billion to resolve the cases nationally.
New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas initially declined to take part in those settlements but last month said the state would participate in the distributors' $21 billion deal. He did not, though, join J&J's $5 billion deal at that time.
Under Friday's accord, J&J agreed to pay New Mexico its share of the nationwide settlement in 2022, rather than over several years, if all of its cities and counties signed on by May 31.
"Opioids have destroyed families in New Mexico, and local communities and addiction professionals still need vital funding to save lives and fight this ongoing tragic epidemic," Balderas said in a statement.
More than 3,300 lawsuits, largely by state and local governments, are pending, seeking to hold those and other companies responsible for an opioid abuse crisis that has led to hundreds of thousands of overdose deaths.
How much of the $26 billion the companies ultimately must pay and how much outstanding litigation they will face depends on state and local government participation.
Settlement supporters recently extended to Jan. 26 a deadline for cities and counties in states that backed the proposal to opt-in to the deals, citing the potential for more states to join.
Nevada and Georgia agreed this month to participate. Six states have not settled with some or all of the four companies.

AMD RX 480 4GB at stock settings, drivers up to date.
Windows 10 Home 64 bits, version 1703.
The program keeps crashing whenever I switch to another application via alt+tab, Windows key+tab or choosing it from the task bar. It doesn't happen, however, when focusing another program in other ways such as running Blender on one half of the screen and the other program on the other. Sometimes it won't crash right away, but it happens more often when using video editing tools, and started happening when I first used them. The screen freezes, and Blender stops working when this happens.
Open blender and change the program with alt+tab, windows key+tab or clicking the program on the task bar. Use the other program for a few seconds, switch to Blender again (it stops working at this point). Crashes happen no matter the file I'm using.
Can you try the latest build from https://builder.blender.org/download/? This sounds similar to T50856 which was fixed.
It did fix the problem. Thanks a lot.
Problem has not been fixed for me. It still flickers and stops responding everytime i click something and crashes whenever i minimize. I'm using latest 2.79 and a Radeon Vega 64.
I also have this problem. Any new fix for it? Been trying desperately to fix it the past week now.


Jackie Fo: DERN GOOD PIES!
This past weekend when I was enjoying the Sunday paper and a nap, I stumbled along Parade Magazine's "In Pie We Trust" article. The article had droolworthy pictures and recipes, as well as a little pie history. If it's about food, I'm definitely in, so I devoured the article...the whole time realizing I don't think I've ever made a pie. I mean, I've used pre-made pie crust before, and made little tarts and quiches, but I've never made a pie crust from scratch.
Shame! If anyone has a good, fool-proof pie crust recipe, please send it over asap so I can remedy this immediately. Here are some of the delicious pies from Parade. You can find all of the recipes and pie history HERE.
If you're in the mood for pie, but you're new to pie world, I suggest making these. Easy and absolutely adorable - these mini pumpkin pie bites from the amazing Bakerella are the perfect treat. Make them for Thanksgiving if you don't want to fuss with the real stuff.
Apply egg whites from one egg to the top edges of each pie.
Spoon mixture into each pumpkin-shaped pie crust.
Remove pies to cool and repeat with second pie crust. Place the muffin tray in the freezer to cool it quickly for re-use. Makes 24 pies. Keep refrigerated.
To decorate, melt chocolate in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave on medium. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until melted. Add a little vegetable oil to make the chocolate more fluid. Transfer to a re-sealable plastic bag and cut the corner off. Drizzle or draw faces on pies.
Note: The cutter I used was 3 3/4 inches wide, but if you don't have one, don't worry. Just use a round cutter around that size or slightly smaller to cut circle shapes out of the dough. Then make stems with the scraps.
Press each stem over the edge and down the side of the dough before filling.
Pumpkin pie spice is a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice.
But seriously guys - send me your pie crust recipes or leave a comment. I want to at least make an attempt before I surrender to a life of pre-made pie crust. Whether you go pre-made or homemade, pie is just dern good. And no, I didn't misspell it, I meant to say dern.
I want that chocolate hazelnut one immediately!!
Got here after this delicious pumpkin pies and founded a lot of other good things.Love your blog...stop by mine when you can.

Nebeyou Esayas is a high school senior at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, Maryland and an entrepreneur. Nebeyou was one of eighteen students in the first Launch Academy program. Launch Academy, founded and run by Shahab Kaviani, is an afterschool program that uses an Quest Forward Learning-based curriculum to enable high school students to learn the basics of entrepreneurship and guide them through the process of creating their first start-up.
As part of Launch Academy, Nebeyou launched SimpleServe.co in May 2016, a website where students can digitally submit to their schools the required forms used to track service learning hours. In addition to juggling swim practice, IB classes and college applications, Nebeyou recently launched SimpleServe at his high school. Not only does he hope for acceptance to a great university, but he also wants to grow his website and see SimpleServe used throughout Montgomery County, MD and beyond.
I recently sat down with Neb to talk about Launch Academy, SimpleServe and his plans for the future.
CM: What kind of problems did you have with service learning forms that led to SimpleServe?
CM: What schools are using it? Are you making money with it?
Neb: "Just our school, Richard Montgomery High School, is using it…I got to the CFO, the Chief Financial Officer of Montgomery County Public Schools. Richard Montgomery said we could do it… But the county is slower to act and they can't necessarily do business with students because it's a conflict of interest, which I do understand, but it's a little disappointing. So we're not making money yet, but it has the potential to work in private schools and our county public schools…When I say 'we' I mean the school and me.
CM: So that's the site, but what's the story that came before it?
CM: Tell me about the program and how it supported you.
CM: What do you hope the future has in store for you and for SimpleServe?
Neb: "First, I'm definitely going to college for at least 4 years. I want to get my MBA. I don't know where yet. Hopefully Michigan, Columbia or Cornell. I'm still waiting to hear back from Columbia and Cornell.
For SimpleServe, June 8th is when I'm graduating, so I'll come back and say "let's do this. I have all summer to work on it." I'm also going to take it to other schools in our county, private schools as well.
Claire Murray is an Implementation Manager at Opportunity Education, where she leads the planning, implementation, and launch of Quest Forward Learning in schools around the globe.
Project-Based Learning, or Just a Project?


* clear contact paper (optional but recommended, as it provides a nice protective coating).
To make your magnetic poetry set, just write or type a bunch of words, leaving a little space between them so you can tell where each word ends and begins and can easily cut them out. Remember to include plenty of nouns, verbs, adjectives, as well as some pronouns and conjunctions.
Once you have lots of words written (or typed and printed), you can cover your word sheet(s) with the clear contact paper. Just place a piece of the contact paper on top of your word sheets so that the sticky side of the contact paper is against the word side of the paper. Then carefully cut the words out, and attach them to the magnetic strips or sheets. Trim the word magnets so they look neat and don't have any excess magnet showing.
Now invite the poet in you to come out and play! As you experiment with your word set, you may find that you'll want to add more words, or even letters or suffixes to tack on to the end of words. A homemade magnetic poetry set also makes a nice gift!
As an alternative idea, you could make a magnetic word organizer for your (metal) door or refrigerator, to help you get organized for school. Just follow the procedure above, but include the names of the days of the week and anything you could possibly need to bring to school with you on a given day (sneakers, lunch, milk money, instrument, mittens, math book, etc.). Each day when you get home from school, place the magnet for the following day on your door or fridge, as well as the magnets for all the things you�ll need to remember to bring. Check your list before leaving in the morning, to make sure you have everything. This system works especially well if you have a copy of your school schedule close by so you can refer to it when making your daily lists.

Fans to illuminate the AFC Asian Cup, as they did in the FIFA Club World Cup
12/25/2018 12:00:00 AM Share this:
The UAE fans were a vivid illustration of the success behind the FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2018.
Real Madrid were crowned the champions for a third successive year, and were winning a record fourth title while the tournament host Al Ain created a piece of history as the first UAE club to reach the final.
Al Ain stunned the world when they setup a final showdown with the European champions after victories over the Oceania champions Team Wellington, the African champions Esperance de Tunis and the Copa Libertadores winner River Plate in the semi-final.
Every game, both at the Hazza bin Zayed stadium in Al Ain and the Zayed Sports City in Abu Dhabi, drew capacity crowds, and the final between Real Madrid and Al Ain had more than 40,000 fans in attendance.
The fans contributed to the success of the event and a pat on the back to the excellent work from the Local Organising Committee (LOC) for an outstanding show that they presented throughout the 10 days.
The Club World Cup was also a timely event that served the LOC to test their work for the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 which will be held in four cities – Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai and Sharjah – from January 5 to February 1.
The LOC of the Asian Cup is anticipating a similar response from the fans to fill the stadiums in every game as in the Club World Cup.
Ahmed Al Kaabi, Director of Public Relations at Al Ain Club, said they were coordinating and planning at the highest level for the Al Ain fans to get behind the UAE national team.
"We are currently working with the UAE Football Federation and the LOC, in order to bring the fans together for our games," he said.
"The plan of action for the Asian Cup will be presented in workshop scheduled at the FA's headquarters on Sunday.
"We, as the fans of Al Ain, are committed to support our national team at any time and any place. We have done it in the past as travelling fans and this time we'll be behind our team when we host the 24-team tournament."
The UAE are in Group A and meet Bahrain in the opener 8pm at the Zayed Sports City stadium in Abu Dhabi.
