CalPERS Names Interim CIO
November 16, 2005 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) on Wednesday tapped Anne Stausboll as Interim Chief Investment Officer (CIO).
Fred Schneyer
The move follows the recently announced resignation of current CIO Mark Anson who will step down in January to become chief executive officer of Hermes (See CalPERS CIO to Take Top Spot at UK Money Manager ). A CalPERS news release said that the giant public pension fund had also kicked off a global search for Anson's replacement and had hired an executive recruitment firm to help in the process.
"It is important that we find the best person for this job that will continue to build on CalPERS success in prudent, innovative and cost effective investment management," said Rob Feckner, President of CalPERS Board of Administration, in the news release. "This will be a broad search that will be open to all qualified candidates, including our own excellent professional internal investment staff."
Stausboll is currently the assistant executive officer of CalPERS Investment Operations. She formerly served in the CalPERS legal office for six years, including two years as deputy general counsel. She left in 1999 to become general counsel for California State Treasurer Phil Angelides. She returned to CalPERS in 2004 to help lead CalPERS investment operations.
According to the announcement, CalPERS expects to name a new CIO in the next six to eight months.
CalPERS is the nation's largest public pension fund with assets totaling more than $196 billion. The system provides retirement and health benefits to more than 1.4 million state, school and local public agency employees.

Forest Products Critical to Fight Hunger – Including Insects
Rome – Forests, trees on farms and agroforestry are critical in the fight against hunger and should be better integrated into food security and land use policies, FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva said on May 13 at the International Conference on Forests for Food Security and Nutrition held in Rome (13-15 May).
"Forests contribute to the livelihoods of more than a billion people, including many of the world's neediest. Forests provide food, fuel for cooking, fodder for animals and income to buy food," Graziano da Silva said. "Wild animals and insects are often the main protein source for people in forest areas, while leaves, seeds, mushrooms, honey and fruits provide minerals and vitamins; thus, ensuring a nutritious diet."
"But forests and agroforestry systems are rarely considered in food security and land use policies. Often, rural people do not have secure access rights to forests and trees, putting their food security in danger. The important contributions forests can make to the food security and nutrition of rural people should be better recognized," Graziano da Silva said.
Frittered Critters – Wild and Farm-raised Insects
One major and readily available source of nutritious and protein-rich food that comes from forests are insects, according to a new study Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UN FAO) launched at the Forests for Food Security and Nutrition Conference. It is estimated that insects form part of the traditional diets of at least 2 billion people. Insect gathering and farming can offer employment and cash income, for now mostly at the household level but also potentially in industrial operations.
An Astounding Array of Creatures
With about 1 million known species, insects account for more than half of all living organisms classified so far on the planet.
According to FAO's research, done in partnership with Wageningen University in the Netherlands, more than 1900 insect species are consumed by humans worldwide. Globally, the most consumed insects are: beetles (31 percent); caterpillars (18 percent); bees, wasps and ants (14 percent); and grasshoppers, locusts and crickets (13 percent). Many insects are rich in protein and good fats and high in calcium, iron and zinc. Beef has an iron content of 6 mg per 100 g of dry weight, while the iron content of locusts varies between 8 and 20 mg per 100 g of dry weight, depending on the species and the kind of food they themselves consume.
First Steps for the Squeamish
"We are not saying that people should be eating bugs," said Eva Muller, Director of FAO's Forest Economic Policy and Products Division, which co-authored the report, "Edible Insects: Future Prospects for Food and Feed Security".
"We are saying that insects are just one resource provided by forests, and insects are pretty much untapped for their potential for food, and especially for feed," Muller explained.
Farming insects sustainably could help avoid over-harvesting, which could affect more prized species. Some species, such as meal worms, are already produced at commercial levels, since they are used in niche markets such as pet food, for zoos and in recreational fishing.
If production were to be further automated, this would eventually bring costs down to a level where industry would profit from substituting fish-meal, for example, with insect-meal in livestock feed. The advantage would be an increase in fish supplies available for human consumption.
Bugs Get Bigger on Less
Because they are cold-blooded, insects don't use energy from feed to maintain body temperature. On average, insects use just 2 kg of feed to produce 1 kilo of insect meat. Cattle, at the other end of the spectrum, require 8 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of beef.
In addition, insects produce a fraction of emissions such as methane, ammonia, climate-warming greenhouse gases and manure, all of which contaminate the environment. In fact, insects can be used to break down waste, assisting in the composting processes that deliver nutrients back to the soil while also diminishing foul odours.
Enabling Policies Lacking
However, legislation in most industrialized nations forbids the actual feeding of waste materials and slurry or swill to animals, even though this would be the material that insects normally feed on. Further research would be necessary, especially as regards the raising of insects on waste streams. But it is widely understood by scientists that insects are so biologically different from mammals that it is highly unlikely that insect diseases could be transmitted to humans.
Regulations often also bar using insects in food for human consumption, although with a growing number of novel food stores and restaurants cropping up in developed countries, it seems to be largely tolerated.

NICOLE: The first time I saw you was in Elizabeth, and I was just amazed. You were so young when you did it and so strong. You can really see your training and intelligence in that performance. That made me proud as a fellow Australian.
CATE: Well, you've been an absolute trailblazer in terms of Australian film actors working internationally.
NICOLE: I can recall as a little girl I watched the American film industry from afar. I remember being six or seven and watching the Oscars in my pajamas, drinking hot chocolate, in this tiny little suburb in Sydney, Australia; it seemed like a faraway land, like Oz.
CATE: People don't really have a preconception about what you're like, so there's a kamikaze quality to Australian actors, because they can come up under the radar.


The Civil War, the nation's most important event, is the subject of seemingly endless fascination. This majestic compilation of objects from the era reminds us why.
The task of choosing 50 objects was a difficult one, given the enormous amount of artifacts the Society has from the time period. In The Civil War in 50 Objects, distinguished Civil War scholar Harold Holzer strikes a fine balance between political, social, cultural, military, and economic history, discussing a wide range of paintings, letters, weapons, photographs, woodcuts, uniforms, drums, diaries, petitions, drawings, and documents. There is something here for any student of the Civil War. And by distilling the conflict to a manageable number of objects, described in chronological order, Holzer gives the era a sense of clarity, allowing one to walk through the conflict's key events and themes.
Holzer is most passionate in his discussion of objects relating to race, his writing most majestic when writing about slaves. "The arc of black freedom constitutes the most important thread running through this book," a collection of "items that dramatize and illuminate in altogether new ways America's convulsive struggle to redefine itself and, in the end, to make good, after more than four score years, on the original promise of the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal" (xxiv–xxv). Race bookends the text, as it begins with shackles for a slave child -- an object guaranteed to send a jolt up your spine -- and ends with the Thirteenth Amendment.
Holzer offers a fascinating take of Lincoln's canny discussion of colonization in the period after announcing the Emancipation Proclamation, a majestic chapter on the Proclamation itself, and an attack in a following chapter on "the unsustainable argument that the Emancipation Proclamation freed no actual slaves" (189). "The document actually 'freed' as many as 500,000 slaves before war's end. That is, enslaved African Americans like those forced to labor at Jefferson Davis's plantation rushed into army camps at the first sign of Union troops. The proclamation's effectiveness as a freedom document has been vastly underestimated. But then, so has the determination and courage of the slaves who based their risky escapes on its promise of legal freedom" (194). Critics of the film Lincoln will appreciate the emphasis Holzer gives to the essential role blacks themselves played in ending slavery.
Another theme throughout the text is the crucial and fascinating role New York played in the war. Holzer reminds us that in the period between Lincoln's election and inauguration "few realized at the time how deeply interconnected the city's economy had become with the institution of slavery and the export of cotton" (44), and how deeply unpopular Lincoln was in the city. The vote in 1860 were more than two to one against him. New York, under its openly pro-Confederate mayor, even toyed with secession and becoming an independent republic. Lincoln visited New York on way to his first inauguration -- and "would never appear in public in New York again" (51). In 1864, New York City voted strongly against Lincoln.
Holzer ends nearly each of the brief 50 chapters with a wonderful story, nugget, or turn of phrase. Among them: a slave that returns to a plantation and, during a brawl, killed his wife's excessively cruel former master; an artist whose work during the war changed from stereotypical views of blacks towards a sympathetic portrayal of their plight is described as "in the space of just three years … also liberated" (15); the tale of a New Yorker who fought for the Confederacy and died in action -- on April 14, 1865; a painting that was reassembled in time for the New-York Historical Society recent reopening after extensive renovations -- on November 11, 2011, Veteran's Day; the Georgian who stated that "If slaves will make good soldiers, our whole theory of slavery is wrong," prompting Holzer to write: "By war's end, the 200,000 or so African American men in arms proved [his] point" (158); though northern newspaper accounts after the Battle of Gettysburg were full of optimism, "In fact, the war was only halfway over" (188); Holzer's outrage that "none of the rioters who plundered and torched the Colored Orphan Asylum" during the 1863 New York Draft Riots "was ever brought to justice" (214); an amusing list of predictions from the 1864 Metropolitan Fair of New York about life in the city in 1964 that would actually come true. When Lee at his surrender met Grant's military secretary, Ely S. Parker, a Seneca Indian, Lee reportedly paused, and then said "I am glad to see one real American here," to which Parker responded, "We are all Americans" (315).
There are other light moments. We learn why Mary Todd Lincoln was so enamored by a family portrait: "The heavily retouched [Mathew] Brady image had miraculously carved inches from her ample posterior" (107). One person signed a petition to Lincoln as "John Brown of Harper's Ferry" (157). When Grant checked into a Washington hotel in 1864 with his son, the clerk did not recognize the poorly-clad officer and initially gave him a small room on the top floor.
There is a terrific section on George Templeton Strong's diary. Strong wrote in his diary nearly every day for the last 40 years of his life -- over four million words -- in beautiful penmanship and "characters so tiny and densely packed that each page looks more like the Rosetta stone than a Victoria-era personal journal." (260). When Strong died in 1875, his New York Times obituary, unaware of his diary, stated that "Although not the author of any literary works, he contributed many articles of rare merit and essays of elaborate research" (264). Strong's vivid impressions of Lincoln, whom he personally saw several times and met in person in Edward Stanton's office in 1864, are priceless.
The book contains a useful eight page bibliography and an eloquent introduction by Eric Foner. "Emancipation liquidated the largest concentration of property in the United States," Foner explains. "In 1860, the economic value of slaves as property exceeded the combined value of all the nation's railroads, banks, and factories" (xxxi).
Though a few objects might only capture the attention of specialists -- a ship model; buttons; a footlocker -- the book should be of great interest to scholars and generalists alike, and especially attractive to American history teachers, as the beautifully reproduced images could be used in any number of creative ways in the classroom, to almost any age group.
Above all, Holzer has the mark of a great teacher: he makes the reader feel as if they were there. A cast of Lincoln's right hand is "the oversized hand that would one day sign the Emancipation Proclamation and grasp the text of both the Gettysburg Address and the second inaugural" (37). We see a sheet of paper in Lincoln's own hand, written in early October, 1864, calculating his prediction for the upcoming election. On the left is written "Genl. Mclellan," on the right "Abraham Lincoln," and underneath each are listed the states and their Electoral College votes. (It's awfully close, Lincoln concluded.) Chapters on a letter concerning Lincoln's assassination and on the weeks following his death are especially enthralling. Holzer even makes uniforms and snare drums interesting. For this reader, it was a shame to have the book end. If you can't make it to the New-York Historical Society in person, this is perhaps the next best thing. See for yourself.

Local government
The regency is a second-level administrative division equivalent to a city. As a regency, it is headed by a regent who is elected democratically. Head of districts are appointed directly by the regent with the recommendation of the regency secretary. Executive power lies with the regent and vice regent, while legislative function is exercised by the regency's parliament.

Despite the bitterly cold weather today the girls in room 22 were working up a sweat. From 9am until hometime the girls skipped, danced, ran and jumped their way through the school day.
Mr Arkins' circuits in the hall were TOUGH and athletics needed stamina. But yoga gave us a chance to catch our breath and the ice-cream van was a welcome treat. Even teacher enjoyed a 99!!!
We has so much fun and worked together as a team really well. Roll on next year's sportathon!

Turn it off! Turn it off!
tags: classic rock, hate, jimmy buffett, mellencamp, radio, springsteen
by Paul Dmytrewycz
There comes a time in every blogger's life when he just doesn't have anything worthwhile to write about. Maybe he hasn't eaten any amazing sandwiches lately, or tried out a new online music service, or had a crisis of conscience, or gone computer shopping, or read any good books. Maybe he saw a decent movie last weekend, but wouldn't really have anything to say in a review that hasn't already been said.
So our blogger turns to other recent experiences for inspiration. For this blogger, there is one recurring theme from the last couple of weeks. For whatever reason, I have heard a LOT of songs on the radio that I absolutely cannot stand. For my terrestrial radio needs, I listen almost exclusively to the local "classic hits" station. It's basically a classic rock station that also inexplicably plays Black Crowes and late period Aerosmith. Most of the time the playlist consists of inoffensive rock hits. You've got your "Take Me Home Tonight" and your "Sussudio" and your "Mississippi Queen." Sometimes you'll hear "Southern Cross" or "Jesus is Just Alright" ("ohhh, yeaaahh!").
I've even gotten into a couple of songs and artists I never really liked before. Joe Cocker's version of "The Letter" is pretty great. And I enjoy the aforementioned "Jesus is Just Alright" by the Doobie Brothers despite not having a single religious bone in my body. I've also developed a taste for the Guess Who's "No Sugar Tonight." Also, apparently if I like a song but have never known who recorded it, it's pretty much always Supertramp. Some of this stuff I like, some of it I don't really like but will tolerate. I can put up with the Black Crowes and Bon Jovi. (Bon Jovi? "Classic rock"? Seriously?) I can even put up with the endless Steve Miller and hearing Santana's "Black Magic Woman" once every hour.
John Cougar Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie Mellencamp
But then there's the really bad stuff. I'm talking about songs that, when they come on, I will literally climb over elderly people and small children to shut off the radio:
"Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffett — I really can't stand this guy and do not remotely understand his appeal. His lazy-ass songs are on par with bad 80's hair metal. "Margaritaville" is a particularly egregious example. A song about getting drunk and doing nothing. Great. I know about a dozen high-schoolers who have written that song.
Clapton's cover of "I Shot the Sheriff" — I hate this song in and of itself, but my main beef has to do with its inclusion on a classic rock station instead of the Bob Marley original. I mean, Eric Clapton is "classic rock" but Bob Marley isn't? Really? That is not to say that I like the Marley version any better; I don't. But Clapton's famous cover is painfully white and utterly lacking any soul or groove of any kind. Just like Clapton's career post-Dominos. ONOHEDI'INT!
"Piano Man" by Billy Joel — Everybody has at least one song that they hate but know all the words to. "Piano Man" is that song for me. I know every cheeseball lyric, which is a large part of why I will rush to turn the song off. Because much like Cartman and "Come Sail Away," my brain will not allow me to proceed with my day until I've heard it through to the end. There are actually people who like this song so much they will sing along, loudly, in a crowded bar when it plays on the jukebox. I want to stab those people in the neck.
"Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen — I know Bruce has cred. He's hugely popular with a pretty wide spectrum of music fans. They can disagree on which albums are superior, but a lot of people just generally dig him. I'm not the biggest Springsteen fan in the world. I don't own any of his albums and probably never will. I don't hate the guy or his music as a rule, but "Born to Run" is just godawful. I get that it's about getting the hell out of New Jersey, and that's pretty funny. But lines like "just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims / and strap your hands across my engines" (and Springsteen's delivery thereof) grate on my last nerve. Others may disagree.
Anything by John "Fucking" Mellencamp — No explanation necessary.

I'm totally with you on the Boss. Never understood his appeal. To quote the Dead Milkmen: "We're going to drag Bruce Springsteen by his ass through our streets/By the time we're done the Boss will look like a side of meat."
About Jimmy Buffet (should be pronounced like the Golden Corral smorgasbord and not the investor), well, I don't want to defend him exactly — but he did write this one song, "Railroad Lady," that Willie Nelson covered on "To Lefty, From Willie," that was pretty awesome. But in defense of Buffet's awfulness, it could've been that Willie made it cool and the song on its own isn't all that great.

Holy cow. Did you just quote City of Mud? That's the rarest of references. I love it.

Mellencamp was better before he added the "Mellencamp," when his name was just John Fucking.
I still maintain the best real-life band name I've ever heard is "John Cougar Concentration Camp."
Paul the Geek permalink
Or REO Speeddealer (who changed their name to "Speeddealer" after the REO boys freaked out.)
And, of course, there was Jack Black's band in "High Fidelity" (before they settled on "Barry Jive And the Uptown Five," previously "Sonic Death Monkey"): "Kathleen Turner Overdrive."
PS: The radio station mentioned here also insists on playing Aerosmith's version of "Come Together" instead of the Beatles'. WTF?


As I was laying at night getting ready to sleep, I looked at my nails and decided to change it because I was off to an important event the next day!
What to do at 1:00am? A very simple nail art tutorial with polishes that dries up pretty quickly!
Introduction, my Summer Romance Nails inspired by the Summer Romance Collection of Girlstuff Nail Polish!
Apply a good base coat. I used to always do this step but since I was rushing, I skipped base coat application and went ahead and applied 2 coats of base polish in 3 shades.
Girl Stuff Nail Lacquer Sun-kissed for pinkie fingernail and thumbnail.
Girl Stuff Nail Lacquer BAEWatch for Ring Fingernail and Middle Fingernail.
Girl Stuff Nail Lacquer Rendezvous for Pointer Fingernail and half of Ring Fingernail.
Using my 2-way nail art pen (brush portion), apply random lines of gold as shown on photos below.
It is very important to make sure your base polishes are completely dry before doing this step.
Your choice of horizontal and vertical lines. Be creative!
Since I wanted something to "POP" because summer is all about the bright sun, I picked Girl Stuff Nail Lacquer in HOPE and applied it on top of Sun-Kissed - this is a great polish to use if you want somewhat "HOLO" nails!
Easy yet it was well-appreciated by everyone who saw my nails!
How do you like my version of Summer Romance Nails?
Do you do your own nails or have them done professionally in salons?

KSB's Laboratory and Emergency Department have been working collaboratively to improve our turn-around time for troponin studies. This is a test to determine if a patient is having a heart attack.
Our benchmark is 50 minutes, and frankly we frequently exceeded that in the past. In looking at the last half of 2010 we have reduced this time to an average of around 37 minutes.
Congratulations to all for their hard work in providing world-class care to our patients!


There are a few things that stand out in this world as being unequivocally French. Cuisine for one, fabulous flavours known the world over. Red Wine and Champagne, naturally, and of course Cognac. The king of brandies, famously renowned for its epic history, stringent standards of control, and of course rich, smooth and lingering taste.
Cognac itself, is a relatively small region in France, made up of 6 main grape growing regions, the most popular of these being Grand and Petit Champagne. The primary reason it seems, for the popularity of these areas is the limestone, chalky & mineral component of the soil that lends a strong minerality to the grapes, ultimately concentrated through distillation into the final cognac. Fine champagne cognac, with at least 50% of the eaux de vie coming from Grande Champagne, is hailed as the greatest of all Cognacs and shows these strong mineral characteristics in abundance.
Try the VS gift Pack, with a free 50ml VSOP – RRP: R299 at leading stores.
Which ironically for me, is the main reason (apart from a whopping price tag!) that I tend to shy away from Cognac in general, and gravitate towards the open arms of South African Cape Brandy. Certainly not because Cognac is no good, quite the opposite given its global appeal. But purely based on a matter of personal taste. Down south in our sunny climes, grapes ripen a lot quicker than their northern counterparts, leading to a lot more fruit in the grape when harvested. Take our SA wine for example, much more fruit driven than those from the northern hemisphere. As brandy is concentrated wine, it stands that this characteristic will simply be enhanced through distillation into our beautiful brandy. Full fruit flavours from the grapes, and lovely hints of spice, vanilla, caramel and wood from the oak maturation. And certainly what my palate as a brandy fan is more accustomed to.
Which is why sitting down the other night with Bisquit Cognac has been a refreshing eye opener. Cleverly purchased in 2009 by Distell, Bisquit has been growing steadily off the back of increased demand for premium spirits across the African Continent. And when you taste the product itself, you can certainly see why it may be more aligned to the taste buds of the well aclimatised South African connoisseur. It's definitely one of the more fruit driven cognacs I've come across, and really well balanced with spice and sweetness. The minerality so often found in many Cognacs, isn't over bearing at all in the VS or VSOP variants, and makes for a refreshing change.
sweetness at the back of the tongue, almost honey like. And again, the ever present Cognac signature spices of cinnamon and clove. I have yet to sample the XO variant, but from what I hear, and it's track record at awards shows, it is quite a special blend.
For those who already like Cognac, Bisquit should be a no brainer to try this season. And for the hardened brandy fans, who like me feel that Cognac's international reputation of bling, and splendour perhaps doesn't justify its reign over the entire brandy kingdom, this is definitely one that may pleasantly surprise you.
After all, that's the great thing about discovering brandy. Its what you like that matters, not anybody else! Santé!

Q: Thread Synchronization - Synchronizing three threads to print 012012012012..... not working I am trying to synchronize three threads to print 012012012012.... but it is not working correctly. Each thread is assigned a number which it prints when it receives a signal from main thread. There is something wrong with the following program which I am not able to catch.
public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int totalThreads = 3;
        Thread[] threads = new Thread[totalThreads];

        for (int i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {
            threads[i] = new MyThread(i);
            threads[i].start();
        }

        int threadIndex = 0;
        while (true) {
            synchronized(threads[threadIndex]) {
                threads[threadIndex].notify();
            }

            threadIndex++;
            if (threadIndex == totalThreads) {
                threadIndex = 0;
            }
        }
    }
}

class MyThread extends Thread {
    private int i;

    public MyThread(int i) {
        this.i = i;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        while (true) {
            synchronized(this) {
                waitForSignal();
                System.out.println(i);
            }
        }
    }

    private void waitForSignal() {
        try {
            wait();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

A: You need more coordination.  the notify call does not immediately wake up the thread and force it to proceed.  Instead, think of notify as sending an email to the thread to let it know that it can proceed.  Imagine if you wanted your 3 friends to call you in order.  You sent friend 1 an email to call you, waited one second, sent an email to friend 2, waited a second, and sent an email to friend 3.  do you think you'd get called in that exact order?
one way to add more coordination would be to have some shared state which indicates whose turn it is.  if all your friends could see your house, you could put a number on the outside of the house indicating whose turn it was to call.  each friend would wait until they saw their number, and then call.

A: Here's your problem:
    int threadIndex = 0;
    while (true) {
        synchronized(threads[threadIndex]) {
            threads[threadIndex].notify();
        }

        threadIndex++;
        if (threadIndex == totalThreads) {
            threadIndex = 0;
        }
    }

The main thread notifies all threads in the right order. However, your threads are working independently. They may or may not get scheduled at a specific point in time. So the end result may be, that thread 2 is reaching the wait/print lock before thread 1 before thread 0. The final order is not determined by you sending the notifications, but (in essence) by the scheduler.
The solution is to change it this way:

*

*the main thread notifies exactly one thread: thread 0

*every thread does his work and when done, notifies the next thread in line

*obviously the last thread has to notify thread 0 again.

A: Another possible solution: In the main thread, you can wait immediately after having notified a thread (in the same synchronized block), like this:
synchronized (threads[threadIndex])
{
    threads[threadIndex].notify();
    threads[threadIndex].wait(); // try/catch here
}

And in the run method of the thread, you can use notifyAll to wake up the main thread after the thread finished its work:
synchronized (this)
{
    waitForSignal();
    System.out.println(i);
    notifyAll();
}

More sophisticated solutions would involve classes from the java.util.concurrent.locks package.

A: package threads;

import java.util.concurrent.Semaphore;

public class ZeroEvenOddPrinter {
   class Runner extends Thread{
       Semaphore prev;
       Semaphore next;
       int num = 0;
       public Runner(Semaphore prev,Semaphore next,int num){
           this.prev = prev;
           this.next = next;
           this.num = num;
       }
       @Override
       public void run(){
            while (true) {
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(100);
                    prev.acquire();
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

                if (num == 0)
                    System.out.println(0);
                else {
                    System.out.println(num);
                    num = num + 2;
                }
                next.release();
            }
        }
   }
   static public void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException{
       Semaphore sem1 = new Semaphore(1);
       Semaphore sem2 = new Semaphore(1);
       Semaphore sem3 = new Semaphore(1);
       ZeroEvenOddPrinter zeo = new ZeroEvenOddPrinter();
       Runner t1 = zeo.new Runner(sem1,sem2,0);
       Runner t2 = zeo.new Runner(sem2,sem3,1);
       Runner t3 = zeo.new Runner(sem3,sem1,2);
       sem1.acquire();
       sem2.acquire();
       sem3.acquire();
       t1.start();
       t2.start();
       t3.start();
       sem1.release();
   }
}

Here i am using semaphores as triggers for all the three threads. Initially all threads will be blocked on sem1,sem2,sem3. Then i will release the sem1 and first thread will execute then it will release the second thread and so on... The best part is you extend this logic to n number of threads. Good Luck!!!

Q: Making tuples with values produced by `Range[n]` and a constant $m$ I'd like to produce a list of  $n-$tuples made from the elements of Range[n] coupled with a constant value $m$.
Here's an example, given $n=3$:
Range[3] = {1,2,3}

What I want to obtain is:
{{1,m},{2,m},{3,m}}

I've tried using Tuple, but I couldn't get it to make what I want.

A: You can in fact use Tuples[]:
Tuples[{{1, 2, 3}, {"m"}}]
   {{1, "m"}, {2, "m"}, {3, "m"}}

A: Benchmark in Mathematica 10.1 of the posted methods, plus one using ArrayFlatten:
tuples[n_] := Tuples[{Range@n, {m}}];
thread[n_] := Thread[{Range@n, m}];
array[n_] := Array[{#, m} &, n];
transpose[n_] := Transpose@{Range@n, ConstantArray[m, n]};
arrayflatten[n_] := ArrayFlatten[{{Range@n ~Partition~ 1, m}}];

m = 17;

Needs["GeneralUtilities`"]
BenchmarkPlot[{tuples, thread, array, transpose, arrayflatten}, Identity]

A: Something like this?
Block[{n = 3}, Array[{#, m} &, n]]
Transpose@{Range[3], ConstantArray[m, 3]} == %
Thread@{Range[3], m} == %%

{{1, m}, {2, m}, {3, m}}
True
True

Many old supplies still have lead feeds. Schemes have now been instigated to reduce lead in water supplies due to the hazardous effects to health in consumption. It is your responsibility to replace the pipework from your internal stop valve to your property boundary. We will replace these pipes with plastic MDPE which will not only ensure the safety of your water, but last much longer. Plastic does not corrode, and is therefore not subject to any scaling or 'build up' on the inner surfaces.
Call us on 0333 335 9929 and tell us about your problem. Don't worry, won't 'hard sell', we'll just ask a few basic questions about the job.
We can usually give you an estimate without coming out to you – we use Google Earth and 3D imaging to see what problem is.
We'll take care of all the necessary applications and permits if required, get the job done quickly and efficiently, and leave everything clean and tidy.
Is the external pipe work the Water Board's responsibility?
Afraid not, the underground water pipe from the valve in the pavement leading to and entering your house is your responsibility. When you bought your house, you bought the pipe!
What about mess inside and outside my house?
All excavations are backfilled and reinstated. Our operatives clean up after each job as part of a day's work and take their boots off to work inside.
What do I need to do regarding the Water Authority?
Nothing, we make the applications and acquire certification on your behalf.
Can Mole Group improve my mains water pressure?
We can't guarantee an improvement in mains pressure without coming out to site, but particularly where we replace lead pipes with plastic we invariably see improvements in water pressure and flow rate, sometimes by as much as 500%.
Fill in a few details online and we'll get back to you and give you a quote – no hassle, no pressure!

Best Tricks for Your Instagram Stories
By Admin September 1, 2022 Updated: September 8, 2022 No Comments7 Mins Read
Instagram stories are more present in our lives every day, so when we go out to dinner, have a drink with our friends, or visit the city, we need to upload them to our social network.
Many may think that this makes you forget about real life, but it makes us much closer to our followers and the public, thus humanizing our brand or person behind each account.
That's why today I'm going to teach you very useful tricks for Instagram Stories that I know you're going to love and that you didn't know about, and I'm sure you're going to start putting them into practice as soon as you finish reading the article.
What is Instagram Stories, and how does it work?
Before we start, I am going to explain what Instagram stories are, or the "instastory," as many have already nicknamed it.
Instagram story is content that we upload to the Instagram social network, and it disappears 24 hours after publishing it.
Instagram stories serve to connect with our followers, teach our humanity and report everything we want.
Also, it works very easily. It's as simple as clicking on the main profile photo that appears in our feed or the one on the top left of the timeline.
Videos on Instagram Stories
The best thing about videos on Instagram Stories is that we can animate them in many ways, so we have the possibility of uploading regular and "normal" videos that we record and save on our mobile phones, even videos with animations.
We can create boomerangs, include effects in videos with music, and even publish a rewound video that gives it a very cool effect.
In addition, we have the possibility of doing live videos to connect with our followers and show them what we do at that very moment.
One of the latest innovations in Instagram Stories is that in this live video, you can join another person and make a double screen.
Upload a photo to Instagram Stories
Here I am not going to tell you something new that you do not know. That is why I am not going to roll up much.
We can upload photos with stickers, GIFs (although they are not there now, they will come back), facial filters, photos with the label of the location, temperature, time, etc. Or you can add a motivational quote that is generated by an incorrect quotes generator to make your followers motivated and engage them.
In addition, they have included a novelty in which the text of the image itself is the protagonist, being able to make really striking writings on a colored background or on a photograph.
Tricks and tips for Instagram Stories or Instagram stories
If you already knew this tool, I guess I haven't told you anything new for now!
But now, yes, I am going to start telling you super interesting Instagram Stories tricks that you did not know and that you will surely put into practice.
View Instagram Stories from PC
We can see the Instagram Stories of our friends from the Instagram website itself.
We just have to go to the timeline (by clicking on the IG logo), and a dropdown will open on the right with the latest stories from our friends.
Instagram Stories capture notification
I don't know if the news has reached you that the Instagram Stories captures are going to be notified (it has already been implemented in some accounts).
Horror! How do we pass that capture to our friends without them knowing that we have made it?
Don't worry. I'll give you the solution!
From now on, every time you want to send a screenshot without someone knowing that you have taken a screenshot of their Instagram, you must do the following:
Open the IG story of the person who uploaded it and close Instagram.
Turn on airplane mode on your phone.
Re-enter Instagram and take your screenshot of Instagram stories freely.
Now yes, send it to your friend, don't be left without knowing what's going on in the world!
Backgrounds on Instagram Stories
Surely, as I did back in the day, you too have begun to paint the entire screen with a pencil until it is covered in color, and you can write on it, am I not mistaken?
I'm going to teach you how to choose the color you want and automatically change the background of the photos for Instagram stories.
How to do polls on Instagram Stories
Surveys for Instagram Stories are very fashionable, so much so that we see them everywhere and even use them in our day to day.
To take a photo for Instagram stories and include a survey, click on the sticker or "face" that we have at the top right of the photo and click on "Survey."
And I'm going to teach you another trick.
The question that we put on the surveys is in white, and it cannot be changed.
Instagram Stories Filters
This is not something new, but in case you don't know, I'll tell you, since it's great.
Instagram allows us to put filters on our photos without the need to use programs to edit photos.
We have different effects for Instagram Stories, but my favorite, without a doubt, is Oslo. I always put it in the vast majority of my Instagram Stories since it adds color to photography.
Although the truth is that Melbourne also uses it, you know that I love to whiten photos, and this effect is a great help to do it in Instagram Stories without wasting time on another app.
Hide story in Instagram Stories
There are times when we don't want someone to see the story we upload, and instead of hiding it from the person, we directly decide not to publish it.
Well, starting today, this is going to change. You can hide the story from whoever you want in just a few clicks.
To hide the Instagram story, we must go to Tools → Story settings → Hide story to, and click on whoever we want.
Upload whatever you want without that person seeing it!
Videos with effects on Instagram Stories
Instagram has brought us many new features, such as the effects on Instagram Stories videos, which are really brutal since we get super fun results.
Many people think these videos are made with an external app, but that's not the case. I will explain how to make them and show you all the video effects you can find in stories.
Rewind Instagram Stories
We can make an effect of rewinding the video very easily.
If you notice, when we are going to take a picture below, the options appear as Boomerang, live, focus, superzoom, rewind, hands-free, and stop motion animation.
If we click on rewind and start recording, we will get a rewind effect like the one you have seen in the video.
We will be able to make very fun and original videos to Instagram Stories backward!
Superzoom animations in Instagram Stories videos
I use these a lot in the launch of my posts.
When we click on "Superzoom," it opens a kind of circle with a musical note. If we click on this button, the effects will be changed, which are: Beats, TV program, rebound, and dramatic.
These are the effects that you have seen in the video. If you haven't tried them yet, I encourage you to do so.
How to remove the sound from the Instagram camera
It has also happened to me that I have a great video to upload to my Instagram Stories, and you hear some scandalous laugh or someone talking, and I say: m*, I can't upload it anymore.
Well, we will learn how to remove the sound from the video so that this does not happen to us.
Before we upload the IG Story video, a new button with a speaker appears at the top before publishing it.
Instagram Stories Highlight Cover Templates
I love this part, I don't know if you've noticed, but many fashion bloggers and influencers are starting to have their stories highlighted with very cool icons that look great on the account.
This is a novelty on Instagram. We can upload our stories and not disappear in 24 hours but stay on our Instagram profile permanently.

The whole front part of the E&C shopping centre was taped off earlier this evening, with police everywhere. Ambulance too. Anyone know what's the scoop?
From what I heard somebody was murdered there in the evening. Nothing confirmed though, and it was gossip on the bus, but may explain it.
My God, how awful. I hope that's just bus gossip.
The tube station (or perhaps just the entrance near the shopping centre?) was also closed. While passing on the bus at about 17:45, I noticed through the closed gates that the info board said it was closed "for safety reasons". All of the three bus stops in front of the shopping centre were taped off too.
I checked on the TfL website after getting home and there was no mention of a station closure or any disruption to tubes or buses at E&C.
On the news this morning it said elephant and caastle/new kent road was closed due to ' unsafe' building.
I noticed loads of buses going by in n.k.r. that were completely different from routes that normally go..e.g. 333, 40 etc.
The TFL website now says the same thing.
So do we know which building is causing all the trouble?
Could "unsafe building" feasibly mean that a building is deemed unsafe because of an incident from the previous evening? Or does "unsafe building" really mean that a building itself is structurally unsafe?
The fact that the police tape extends further this morning than it did yesterday (the whole southbound carriageway now bwing closed, rather than just the pavement and bus stops) would support this, if something's in danger of collapse.
Maybe the Shopping Centre has decided to jump before it is pushed.
apparently, there are cracked glass panels on the towerblock above the shopping centre (Hanibal House) that are in danger of falling off, or some bits might already have fallen off.


We Describe the Splendor of Flying a Refueling Mission Over the Eastern U.S.
I'd seen the YouTube videos, hundreds of them probably, maybe a thousand if there are that many. But this was nothing like the videos.
On a lofty sheet of silence, like a UFO, it slid in from our left, our aircraft's right as we faced rearward in the tanker bay. Only forty feet or so from me, 350 MPH, 22,000 feet above the earth. It was huge. And perfect.
My first memory as a child was of an airshow. The Thunderbirds. F-4 Phantoms. They were big and loud and smoky. The men wore crew cuts and precise fitting flight suits. They were just like the Apollo astronauts on black and white TV that Walter Cronkite talked about. One bent down and shook my hand, "You gonna be a pilot?" That was it for me.
I had done research for this shoot. A man named Stewart Jack, whom I've never met in person but friended on Facebook, sent me a solid tip on which lens to use for this shoot. Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM Lens. He responded to a post I threw up on the Aviation Photographers closed group page on Facebook. I mounted the lens on my EOS 7D MkII. Stewart's recommendation was spot on. Composing shots was easy.
My first 60 photos were bad. I had a polarizer on and the window of the tanker bay in our KC-10 somehow produced a weird rainbow coloration that ruined the shots. I admit to panicking just a bit as I spun the filter off the front of the lens praying the plane in front of me would stay right where it was.
I heard the pilot through my headset make terse reports to the boom operator. He replied, "Thirty feet. Twenty…" The boom operator tucked the refueling boom over just slightly to let the plane's canopy slide under us. He held two joy sticks to fly the boom. I had to be careful sitting next to him, his right hand was about a foot from my left arm, and there was a $100 million jet right below us, 30-40 feet away.
I am not a pilot. I can fly a plane, learned how once. Flew a Cessna, that doesn't make me a pilot. Not like this. Like nothing else on earth, I love this. I understand the physics, the aerodynamics, the math, but even with that left-brain understanding of what I see in front of me now, my right-brain knows that this is magic, every Star Wars movie come real, science fiction in reality. Magic.
Before we took off I met the pilots of these two Lockheed Martin F-35A Lighting II Joint Strike Fighters. They looked like fine lads, clean cut, one rather quiet, the other well spoken. He had the rank. They wore patches- I collect patches- one said "466FS – SNAKES! IN THE HOUSE". I want one of those. Their name tags had their callsigns. "Worm" and "Quatro". They won't tell us how they got their call signs. Afraid we'll write about it.
They answered our questions, tough questions about what makes the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter so expensive. Taxpayers want to know. Their answers are good, and in less than a week several million people have read them across several media outlets.
It's true I went to school for journalism. I've been to war zones, shadowed a hostage rescue team on a training mission. A week ago, I was diving in a school of sharks in the Exuma Islands, but this is beyond anything and it is a little hard to stay… journalistic. It is simply too amazing.
Another aircraft coming in. "He is out there. Was at about thirty miles. Closing now. Be here in a minute. Not sure where he is." The boom operator tells me. An F-15C Eagle, a predecessor to the F-35A we have in front of us now, is on his way to our tanker for gas. Another incredible photo op. About 60 seconds, we think, before he arrives.
For just a moment I need to take a deep breath, set my camera in my lap. Take this all in. Tidy up my gear. I wear pants made for me by a company called RailRiders. They have special two-way pockets so a photographer can put filters in and out easily while seated. They put my picture in their catalog, and I know the founder, so I am loyal to them. And the pants are actually pretty darn good. I tuck my polarizer into the right cargo pocket through the special zipper. The left pocket holds what I need to keep dust off my lens.
In front of me the F-35A hovers at 350 MPH. The pilot looks nothing like either of the guys we met an hour ago. Head covered in checkered carbon fiber, life vest over his shoulders, seat harness. He does not wave, but I wish he would. His left hand holds the throttle, his right the control stick. Luke Skywalker. Darth Vader. The plane is rock steady plugged into the boom.
They each plug into the boom, then loiter behind us briefly for more photos.
And way too soon, it is over. I'm seated up front in the tanker now as we fly out over the Atlantic to take fuel ourselves from another tanker. But before we reach the refueling track in the air over the Atlantic I toggle through a few of my photos looking at the back of my camera. It worked. I got good shots. Thank God.
And this is one story that, no matter how many tanker flights and media flights I do, I will never forget.

Methodological and normative ideology
June 14, 2010 ~ Andrew Norton
Martin Krygier's response to Waleed Aly's Quarterly Essay makes an interesting distinction between 'methodological' and 'normative' conservatism. Methodological conservatism offers what he calls 'well-nigh universal' lessons: that the world is complex, that radical change will always have unintended effects, that long-lasting things are likely to have something going for them or at least be 'sticky'.
'Normative conservatism' expresses an 'attachment to familiar features of the society in which the conservative lives'. The problem with it is that these 'familiar features' can be 'lousy'; other ideologies provide some grounds for discriminating between those that are worth keeping and those which are not. We can accept methodological conservatism, but still recognise that 'sometimes the disease actually is worse than the cure'.
The distinction can be made for other ideologies as well.
Methodological liberalism contains the claims made by liberal theorists about how the social and especially the economic and political worlds work. These include that tolerance of differing religions and cultures reduces social conflict, that markets as economic co-ordinating mechanisms have information flows and incentives than governments cannot match, that constitutionally divided and democratic governments are more stable and successful than their alternatives.
Normative liberalism includes moral claims by individuals against the community and the state, that private property is preferable to state ownership, and that wealth distribution that is the result of just processes is itself just.
Methodological social democracy includes a range of assumptions about the weak and the strong: that workers are vulnerable to employers, that people are poor mainly due to forces beyond their own control, that women are materially disadvantaged by social attitudes and institutions, that the lives of racial minorities are shaped by discrimination. Methodological social democracy assumes that goverments are generally competent.
Normative social democracy includes claims that the government is morally justified in trying to remedy the weaknesses identified in methodological social democracy, that the wealthy have no strong moral claim to their wealth, that less income inequality is always better no matter what the status quo, and that public ownership and provision is generally preferable to private ownership and provision, especially in core social services.
Though strong belief in the methodological claims of the respective ideologies may incline people to also accept the ideology's normative claims, as Krygier points out it is possible to at least partially accept an ideology's methodological claims without also accepting its normative claims.
One way in which social democracy differs from socialism is that social democrats at least partly accept conservative methodological claims about fast and radical changes, and liberal methodological claims about markets and constitutional structures. However social democrats reject much of normative conservatism and liberalism, which tend to accept society as it or as it evolves through the free interaction of individuals, preferring instead to try to partially reshape society according to their vision of how it should look.
Some methodological disputes are normative disputes in disguise. For example the parties to recent macroeconomic controversies about the effectiveness of deficit spending in stabilising economies (an essentially methodological question about how economies work) are closely matched to whether the parties normatively prefer bigger or smaller government. The various left-wing academics lining up to attack the efficient markets hypothesis (an essentially methodological question about how well market prices reflect available information) do so not because they have any real views on this matter, or had even heard of the EMH until recently, but because it seems like a way of discrediting market control and bolstering state control.
Nevertheless, there are likely to be more fruitful debates at the methodological than the normative level. Normative views reflect deep intuitions that come from socialisation, life experience and personality type. These will rarely change by intellectual persuasion; the normative ideologies are more ways for believers to formalise their intuitions and work through their implications than they are ways of persuading non-believers. Normative claims are often beyond evidence.
By contrast, methodological claims about how the world works are more easily open to proof or disproof. The fluctuating fortunes of methodological claims partly explain the ideological cycle in politics. Just as 1970s stagflation damaged methodological assumptions about the competence of government to manage the economy, the GFC has damaged methodological assumptions about the efficiency of markets. But if the liberal methodological claims about the competence of government are correct (think insulation, school buildings) the cycle will eventually turn again.

4 thoughts on "Methodological and normative ideology"
In economics we make a distinction between positive economics which deals with describing "what is", and normative economics which seeks to deal with "what ought to be".
Andrew Norton says:
Brendan – Yes, same basic distinction. In economics the profession tends to play down the normative, while in political theory the normative issues are usually seen as the most important.
alanc says:
Thanks for drawing attention to Krygier's essay. However, prima facie this distinction doesn't seem particularly illuminating.
As you observe, every ideology can be seen to include both "methodological" and "normative" ideas – that is, ideas about how the world is and how it works, and ideas about which values should be pursued and which discouraged. In that respect, conservatism is no different to any other body of political thought.
But there are at least 2 other dimensions of "conservatism" to consider.
First, there is what Michael Oakeshott called the "conservative disposition", which is not about ideas but attachment to familiar things and familiar ways and familiar people – a disposition to prefer the enjoyment of what exists to chasing after some notionally more enjoyable thing that does not yet (and may never) come to be. Oakeshott believed that everybody has this disposition to one extent or another, and if he was correct then this type of conservatism doesn't need either methodological or normative ideas – it just needs a world full of things (and people) that we would be very sorry to lose.
Second, there is the fact that even the ideological sort of conservatism is highly particularistic and fragmented in a way that other ideologies do not seem to be. Personally, I think it is a misnomer to speak of conservatism in the singular; there just doesn't seem to be one single thing called conservatism; and the plurality even goes beyond Wittgenstinian family resemblances. In different places at different times, different peoples have drawn different lines in the sand and cried "enough change! We love X, Y, Z and don't want to give them up". Sometimes they have latched onto the same rhetoric to promote their goals, but when you look at the details of each group's chosen X, Y and Z, they often turn out to be radically incompatible – a la American "Southern agrarians" versus "neo-cons" versus "paleo-conservatives", or any of them compared with what passes for conservatism in Australia. Often, the only thing that seems to unit two conservatives is the presence of a mutual enemy.
This doesn't seem to be the case with other ideologies, e.g. liberalism. The causes of American "liberals" today seem similar – at least at the level of basic principles — to those of English and Australian left-liberals, and to those of the left-liberals of a few generations ago. And religious liberals also seem to favour much the same causes as secular liberals (greater equality for women, greater acceptance of gays, greater freedom to dissent…). Likewise, in the last few decades classical liberals seem to have pushed the same causes, wherever they have been, just with circumstantially different priorities. But when it comes to different conservatisms, even the principles are different.
Alan – I fully agree that conservatism is particularistic. But within this diversity, I am inclined to think that the methodological/normative distinction will often apply.
Perhaps 'normative' is the wrong word for a 'disposition', though I suggest that for other ideologies there are disposition-like feelings underlying the norms.

Q: Share read/write application data (on disk) between users on Windows I'm porting a game to Windows and wonder how, for example, highscore data should be stored so that all users on the same system can share the data. Ideally the data shouldn't be writeable by the users themselfs, only by the application (in this case game) owning the data. Apart from the pure technical details I also wonder about best practise.
On Unix this can be achieved by setting the set-UID bit on the executable and let the executable and the shared file in question belong to the same system-user (games in my case). There is also a best practise to place such files in /var/lib/games.

A: First, what you can't do:

*

*You can't let some executable change some value, but prevent the user running it from doing so.

*You can't make some executable run under a specific account, unless you use some sort of loader (another executable) that will ensure that.

*You can't use the registry to store shared data, unless your users are running as administrators (which should not be an option).

Now, what you can do:

*

*Use a database...

*Use the ProgramData folder ("All Users" on XP).

*Use some loader to keep your app running under the same user, which opens both that user's registry and AppData folder (bad idea - just mentioning as it is technically possible).

If #1 is not possible, I'd go for #2.
