Red Knot🠉
Calidris canutus
Larger and stockier than the Dunlin, with short legs. Bill quite straight, relatively thick and short. In flight, long wings, narrow white wingbars, and pale grey rump.
Adult breeding: rufous-brown below. Grey and rufous-brown on the upperparts. Legs dark.
Adult non-breeding: White supercilium, chest streaked dark grey, uniform grey above, flanks streaked grey-brown, undertail with grey-brown chevrons.
Juvenile: colouration similar to adult non-breeding, but tinged with yellow-buff on the underparts, and the feathers of the upperparts show dark crescent-shaped subterminal marks, and whitish tips giving a distinctly scaly pattern.
Call: short nasal "wett-wett".
Similar species: Sanderling.
Sanderling🠉
Often seen feeding in winter on beaches, where it runs behind the receding waves, or on coastal mudflats. It is the same size as the Dunlin, but the bill is short and thick, the black legs have no hind toes, and in flight a broad white wingbar can be seen.
Adult in breeding plumage: head and clearly-demarcated pectoral zone spotted with dark. The chest and the upperparts are marked with rufous-brown.
Adult non-breeding: looks very white from a distance. Uniformly very pale grey above.
Juvenile: upperparts blackish with broad whitish fringes, with no rufous-brown colouration, and creating a more uniformly scaly colouring above, with no white "V" as in the Little Stint. Crown dark, contrasting with a distinct pale supercilium. Sides of the neck distinctly marked with dark on an orange-cream background.
Call: a sharp "twit".
Similar species: Red Knot, Little Stint, Temminck's Stint.
Little Stint🠉
Small wader, one-third smaller than the Dunlin, with a finely-pointed short straight bill. Legs black. The tail is short. An active, ceaselessly-moving wader.
Adult in breeding plumage: red-brown colouration on the upperparts, head, neck, and chest, becoming more greyish throughout at the end of the summer.
Adult in non-breeding plumage: grey above with darker centres to the feathers. Usually only the sides of the chest are grey, more rarely there is a darker pectoral band across the upper chest contrasting with the rest of the underparts, which are white.
Juvenile: the feathers of the upperparts are dark, fairly broadly edged with white (coverts) to rufous-brown (mantle). A clear white "V" on the edges of the mantle.
Call: fairly loud "tit", given singly or repeated several times.
Similar species: Temminck's Stint, Sanderling.
Temminck's Stint🠉
Calidris temminckii
Wader of similar size to Little Stint, but more elongated at the rear, with a longer tail extending a little beyond the wings at rest, slightly shorter legs, and a finer, slightly curved bill. The legs are pale, yellowish, greenish, or brownish. The sides of the tail are white, whereas they are grey in the Little Stint. Most often seen on vegetated mudflats. When disturbed it flies high, zig-zagging while calling continuously. Often recalls Common Sandpiper in colouration in winter and juvenile plumages.
Adult breeding: upperparts brownish, with a few feathers on the mantle and shoulders having black centres and rusty-buff edges.
Adult non-breeding: uniformly grey-brown above; chest grey-brown, forming a breast-band, and contrasting with the rest of the underparts, which are white.
The juvenile is like the adult in non-breeding plumage, but the feathers of the upperparts are clearly edged yellowish.
Call: often-repeated trill, "tssriiiii".
Similar species: Little Stint, Sanderling.
Curlew Sandpiper🠉
A little larger than the Dunlin, with the legs (especially the tibiae) longer, a longer neck, and a bill generally longer and evenly curved. In flight, easily distinguished from it by a white patch on the rump.
The adult in breeding plumage is easily distinguished from other small waders by its size, shape, and brick-red colouring on the underparts. In non-breeding plumage, the grey of the upperparts is paler than in the Dunlin, and a clear white supercilium can be seen. The juvenile is greyer than the juvenile Dunlin, and there is no white "V" on the edges of the mantle. In addition, there is a clear white supercilium, and the chest is orange-buff, finely streaked at the sides.
Call: short, loud "tirrrip".
Similar species: Dunlin, Broad-billed Sandpiper.
Purple Sandpiper🠉
Wader of slightly larger size than the Dunlin, but shorter-legged and squatter, giving it a distinctive plump appearance. Bill the same shape as the Dunlin's. Tail long, extending past the wingtips. In juveniles and non-breeding adults, the legs are bright brown-yellow, and the bill shows a broad yellowish base.
Adult in breeding plumage: legs greyish-yellow. Dark above. Underparts with chevrons or anchor-shaped markings, reddish grey-brown in colour.
In winter, the adult is dark grey above with broad diffuse anchor-shaped markings below.
Juvenile: scaly above, head grey with a darker crown, chest faintly tawny-coloured, streaked with dark brown as are the flanks.
Call: short "kvitt" or "kvi-it".
Dunlin🠉
Small wader, size of a starling, with a black bill of variable length (ranging from short and rather straight, like the Little Stint for example, to long and curved like a Curlew Sandpiper). The legs are fairly short (especially the tibiae).
The adult in breeding plumage is distinguished by a black belly patch. The upperparts are dull russet-brown to bright red-brown. The adult in non-breeding plumage shows uniformly greyish-brown upperparts, a fairly well-demarcated pale grey pectoral band contrasting with the white belly. The head is fairly uniform grey-brown, and a short, ill-defined supercilium is visible. Juveniles show a distinct, diffusely-streaked pectoral band, as well as coarse blackish spots on the sides of the belly, while the flanks are uniformly white. The upperparts are dark brown with dirty white and rusty edgings. The head, nape, and upper chest have a brownish-yellow tint. There is no clear supercilium.
Call: a trilled, hoarse "krrrri".
Espèces similaires : Curlew Sandpiper, Broad-billed Sandpiper.
Broad-billed Sandpiper🠉
Limicola falcinellus
In general, slightly smaller than the Dunlin, with shorter greenish-grey legs. Feeds more slowly (probes in the mud a little like the Common Snipe). Bill long and straight with the tip slightly curved. Shows a double supercilium above the eye. In breeding and juvenile plumages, a wader with fairly dark upperparts.
Adult in breeding plumage: flanks heavily spotted, complete breast-band.
Adult in non-breeding plumage: like the Dunlin, but head pattern different. Juvenile: like the breeding plumage adult, but distinct, well-marked "V" on the mantle, and chest heavily marked on a whitish to brown background.
Call: dry, high-pitched trill.
Espèces similaires : Dunlin, Curlew Sandpiper.
Ruff🠉
Philomachus pugnax
Marked difference in size between males and females, the males being larger. Males are generally a little bigger than the Common Redshank (size approximately similar to the Spotted Redshank), and are more heavily built. The little females are slightly larger than the Dunlin. A fairly long-legged wader, with a small head and a fairly long neck, a big body, and a medium-length, slightly curved bill. In flight, the wingbeats are a little slower and deeper than in other waders of the same size. There is a narrow wingbar, and two oval white patches on the upper tail. The bill and legs are variable in colour (dark brown to reddish for the bill, green-yellow to orange-red for the legs).
Adult breeding: males have an erectile headdress that is seen in May and June, of variable colour, black, red-brown, orange or white, uniform, or broadly barred. This ruff contrasts with the chest and flanks, which have broad black markings. Rest of underparts white. The females are brown, more or less marked with black.
Adult non-breeding: both sexes have identical colouring. Bill and legs usually dark and dull. The overall colouration is brownish-grey, with the feathers of the upperparts having broad darker centres. Chest and flanks grey-brown. Juveniles: like the non-breeding adult, but underparts usually noticeably buffer, and upperparts distinctly scaled.
Call: nearly always silent. Rarely, a low call.

Priests for Life's Janet Morana will be on EWTN's "Women of Grace" and "Bookmark"
Her latest book, Everything You Need to Know About Abortion – For Teens will be in the spotlight
Contact: Leslie Palma - 917-697-7039
Janet Morana, Executive Director of Priests for Life, will talk about her latest book, Everything You Need to Know About Abortion – For Teens, on EWTN's Women of Grace with host Johnnette Benkovic Williams and Bookmark with Doug Keck.
Women of Grace will air at 1 p.m. ET on Thursday, Jan. 19, and will be rebroadcast at 11 p.m. ET.
Bookmark will air at 5 a.m. ET and 5 p.m. ET on Monday, Jan. 23, and at 11:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Jan. 28. Click here for a promotional video.
Published by Tan Books, Everything You Need to Know About Abortion – For Teens introduces readers to the unborn child and to the brutal methods used to kill this most innocent victim.
In his endorsement of the book, Bishop Joseph Strickland of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, said Mrs. Morana's "no-nonsense approach directed toward teens addresses a critical need for today and for the future. It is a reminder that every life is precious."
Priests for Life has a long history of fruitful collaboration with EWTN. Mother Angelica asked us in 1994 to produce "Defending Life," the world's farthest-reaching series on abortion and the pro-life movement right to the present.


Who doesn't feel happy at the thought of getting a promotional product? That too, if it is free. Free!! The thought of this makes you go for purchasing the product. You may find promotional products in exhibitions, shops, industrial fairs, and trade shows.
What is a promotional product? A promotional product is one that is offered to you (the customer) free in order to build the company brand, to get their company recognized or remembered. A promotional product is a product imprinted with or otherwise carrying a message or the logo of the company. If you like the promotional products good or useful then you tend to tell more people about it. Or you may even go again and buy more products from the shop or trade fair of that particular company. This means that the company has made a lasting impression on you.
Eg. Buy 1 shirt, and get 1 free.
Buy a golf club and get a pair of gloves and a set of balls free.
Buy a Laptop and get an 8 GB USB Flash drive free.
The company needs to make note of one important thing here, while promoting a product. They need to know their target audience well. The company needs to make a feasibility study of their product in the market. They need to know their competitors. What is the market demand for the product? What segment of customers are you targeting?
Here comes a question: How would the company come to know which product is hot in the market or in full demand currently?
Here, the company needs to study the market demand for the product. Does the product already exist in the market? If so, who are the competitors? Which market segment is your competitor catering to? Which market segment should the company target? How can the company create its niche in the market? If the product is not yet launched in the market, how can the company monopolize in it? What is the market demand for such a product?
What are the different types of Promotional Products?
1. Business Gifts: Business Gifts or corporate gifts are promotional products given to the customers to build up the business, to recognize their suppliers or customers, and to thank them for their contribution towards the company. (eg. Bags, shirts, leather pouches, clocks etc.). These customers or suppliers are necessarily not a part of the organization. Corporate gifts are personalized or branded with the company logo or with a good message so that it is always remembered.
2. Premiums: Premium gifts are promotional products which are offered as an incentive to produce a specific action. Here you get a free promotional product, only if you buy a product. Premium gifts are value-added gifts. Eg. Buy a Laptop and get 8 GB USB flash drive free.
3. Ad Specialties: These are promotional products given as gifts only to promote the business without you shelling out any money. It is equivalent to viral marketing. Eg. Calendars, wall clocks, key chains, coffee mugs etc.
Here the difference between a premium gift and a Ad Specialty is, in Ad Specialty you are not under any obligation to compulsorily buy anything to get a free item. Here, the promotional product is given free only to spread your company's name & business.
4. Recognition Awards: These are awards given to the employees in order to recognize their valuable contribution towards the company, for their performance in the company. Eg. Trophies, awards, jewelery etc. The recognition awards are given to the employees who are part of an organization.
5. Other identification Applications: These are other promotional products as gifts which do not fit in any of the above categories like Imprinted Souvenirs, Jackets, Caps, Imprinted Glassware and balloons for promoting your business.
So a promotional product is not only a brand building tool but a necessity to keep or lure in customers. And customer will only come back to the company when he has faith and trust in the company and that he will not be cheated.
What makes promotional products so successful?
o Longer exposure: – Promotional products remain in front of your target audience's (customers, employees, and business partners) eyes- a great advantage over all other advertising plans.
o Involvement: – Most of the promotional product involves their users. Whether it's office-stationary, Desktops, showpieces or children items like freebees, masks etc-they all have the power to involve their users and integrate with your marketing or business strategies.
o Promotes Goodwill: – People love receiving gifts. Customers look for free gifts. Promotional gifts promote goodwill hence enhancing your company image and brand value. Customer goodwill means repeated business, more orders and word of mouth publicity for you.
o Cost-effective:- Promotional products are cost-effective when compared with other advertising programs. The value it generates in terms of exposure, recall-value etc., makes it one of the cheapest advertising medium.
Whether you are a bank, a media-house, a telecom company or any non-profit organization- you all can benefit from promotional products and woo your customers. As per your business objective and target audience, you can ship promotional products and build relationship with your customer base. Not only customers, your employees will also value these items which will bring greater productivity, improved client-servicing and thus enviable sales figures.

Preview BMW IBSF World Cup / European Championships Sigulda, LAT
Preview as PDF
Four European Championship titles to be awarded at the World Cup finals in Sigulda
Oskars Melbārdis to receive Olympic gold and bronze from Sochi
Sigulda (RWH) World Cup finals, European Championships and Olympic honours – the last BMW IBSF World Cup event of the 2019/2020 season will be a weekend full of sporting highlights. The track in Sigulda (LAT), which is a good 50 km to the northeast of the capital city of Riga, will host the proceedings. Covering around 1,200 metres, this artificial track is something of a rarity on the World Cup tour: Because the surrounding land is flat, the starting line is located on the fifth floor of a tower. The first section is held up by tall pillars and the track then runs down to the Gauja River valley. Sigulda itself is located just 100 metres above sea level.
European Championships and World Cup to be decided on all three days in Sigulda
The winners of the gold, silver and bronze medals in the 2020 European Championships and the overall winners of the World Cup in the skeleton, 2-man bobsleigh and 2-woman bobsleigh will be decided on all three World Cup days in Sigulda. Proceedings will kick off on Friday evening (14 February) with the female bobsleigh athletes. The World Cup final for the men's skeleton will follow on Saturday (15 February) and the race will also count as the European Championships. On Sunday (16 February), the 2019/2020 season in the BMW IBSF World Cup will come to a close with two more European Championship races in the women's skeleton and 2-man bobsleigh.
All defending European Championship title holders set to compete in Sigulda
Janine Flock (AUT, women's skeleton), Martins Dukurs (LAT, men's skeleton), Mariama Jamanka/Annika Drazek (GER, 2-woman bobsleigh) and Francesco Friedrich/Martin Grothkopp (GER, 2-man bobsleigh) are the reigning European Champions from 2019. All four of them are set to compete in Sigulda.
Friedrich, Humphries, Lölling and Dukurs lead the World Cup
In the 2-man bobsleigh, the overall winner in the 4-man event Francesco Friedrich is the clear favourite with a lead of over 250 points, which would give him his third overall win in the 2-man event – however, this is not set in stone just yet with two races scheduled for Sigulda. In the 2-woman bobsleigh, the overall leader Kaillie Humphries (USA) will unfortunately not be competing in the finals in favour of preparing for the World Championships. So, Sigulda is likely to see Stephanie Schneider, the defending title holder Mariama Jamanka (both GER), and Canada's Christine De Bruin battling it out for the top three spots in the overall World Cup. Things are also still up in the air in the skeleton races. Jacqueline Lölling (GER) and local hero Martins Dukurs (LAT) will arrive in Sigulda as current leaders.
Oskars Melbārdis to receive Olympic gold and bronze from Sochi 2014
World Cup Saturday (15 February) in Sigulda will be a very special day for bobsleigh pilot Oskars Melbārdis. The 31-year-old and his team-mates, Daumants Dreiškens in the 2-man bobsleigh and Arvis Vilkaste, Jānis Strenga and Daumants Dreiškens in the 4-man will receive two retrospective Olympic medals from the 2014 Winter Olympic Games: Gold for the 4-man bobsleigh and bronze for the 2-man. Organisers of the event in the winter-sports-mad country of Latvia are expecting several thousand spectators. ©RWH2020
The schedule for Sigulda
On the sidelines
For Rene Spies (GER), the bobsleigh coach for the German national team, the World Cup race in Sigulda at the start of the 2018/2019 season was the World Cup race of the year. The coach came to this conclusion in his end-of-season summary in a discussion with the German Bobsleigh, Luge and Skeleton Federation (BSD) last winter. "The World Cup race of the year was without a doubt Sigulda. You could see that people there live and breathe sliding sports. The event attracted huge crowds, particularly the skeleton races, which were hugely popular thanks to the Dukurs brothers. It was great to see people crossing the road to get to the bobsleigh track. The support was just incredible – this track is full of heart and soul. That's why it was the World Cup race of the year for me." The youth coach Anja Selbach (also the 2008 skeleton World Champion) expressed a similar opinion to the BSD: "The races in Sigulda are always amazing, you almost feel at home there." ©RWH2020
Rudy Rinaldi (MON) will be missing the BMW IBSF World Cup final in Sigulda and the 2020 BMW IBSF World Championships in Altenberg due to injuries on his team. Last winter, Rudy Rinaldi and his team were within reach of the World Cup podium on several occasions and started the 2019/2020 season with high hopes. "At the moment, all of us are constantly battling injuries," wrote the Monegasque bobsleigh team on its Facebook page. "We were unable to reach the level we wanted. We have therefore decided to call it a day for this year so we don't make things worse." The team's goals remain to compete in the World Championships in Lake Placid next winter and the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. ©RWH2020
Lelde Priedulēna (LAT), the 2016 Junior World Champion in the women's skeleton, has been a member of the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation's (IBSF) coaching team since the start of the season. In North America, the 27-year-old worked as an IBSF coach and looked after a number of countries at the OMEGA qualification races ahead of the 2020 Youth Winter Olympic Games in Lausanne. Lelde Priedulena also worked as a coach at the IBSF North American Cup and IBSF Intercontinental Cup races. The Latvian athlete competed in 45 BMW IBSF World Cup races between 2012 and 2019 and only just missed out on the podium multiple times in fourth place. Lelde Priedulena finished seventh at both the 2017 BMW IBSF World Championships in Königssee and the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang (KOR). ©RWH2020

SASSA refers beneficiaries to hotlines amid non-payment of grants
SASSA took to Twitter to refer beneficiaries to a list of hotlines, whilst maintaining its silence over the non-payment of temporary disability grants.
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), on Tuesday, 12 January 2021, took to Twitter to share a list of contact details that beneficiaries can call to address their queries. The infographic shared comes on the back of the agency coming under a lot of scrutiny over the confirmed non-payment of temporary disability grants.
At the time of the post, SASSA centres had garnered much attention because of the scores of people who were camping out at selected SASSA centres, looking to reapply for the grant. Social media was abuzz with several videos of the commotion, which also highlighted the lack of social distancing in the queues amid the pandemic. Despite the continued uproar, Minister of Social Development, Lindiwe Zulu has yet to officially address the matter.
Moreover, there is still no clarity on when the matter will be resolved, should the beneficiaries reapply for the temporary disability grant. Previously, it was suggested that the abrupt halt of the payment of the grants was because the department did not have sufficient funds to continue with the initiative.

Q: D3.js Gauge Chart Indicators And Labels Positioning I am new to D3.js | Data-Driven Documents charts and I am working with a Gauge Chart style using this. For this purpose, I searched over the internet and found the below simple code with some tweaks from my side and it is working well as shown in the below screenshot.

And the code for this is shared below.
D3.js Gauge Chart Basic Code:

/*---------------------
// D3.js Gauge Chart //
---------------------*/
// Data which need to be fetched
var name = "Server Response";
var value = 75;    // My Desired Value To Show
var gaugeMaxValue = 100;

// Data of calculation
var percentValue = value / gaugeMaxValue;
var needleClient;
(function () {
 var barWidth, chart, chartInset, degToRad, repaintGauge, height, margin, numSections, padRad, percToDeg, percToRad, percent, radius, sectionIndx, svg, totalPercent, width, recalcPointerPos;

 percent = percentValue;

 numSections = 1;
 sectionPerc = 1 / numSections / 2;
 padRad = 0.025;
 chartInset = 10;

 // Orientation of Gauge:
 totalPercent = .75;

 el = d3.select('.chart-gauge');

 margin = {
  top: 20,
  right: 20,
  bottom: 20,

Now I have some problems here that I want to fix. First of all I want to fix the positioning of labels and then Second I want to add more indicators and Third one is that I want to split Green, Yellow, Red section as per my desires like 15%, 60%, 25% as an example. What I want is also demonstrated in the below screenshot.

So is this anything possible to fix it in my upper mentioned code?

Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and try. It's the first time you've ever picked up a camera. Your work is….not so great. But we all must start somewhere. The important thing is to START. Get messy! Make mistakes! You will not regret putting out mediocre work as much as you will regret not putting out any work at all.
Please try not to compare yourself to other photographers. Admire them, be inspired by them, but don't compare. They are not you. They don't see the way you do, feel the way you do, or live the way you do. Only you can be YOU. Embrace the artist that you are. You have a voice, you have a vision that is uniquely you and deserves to be celebrated. You are on an incredible journey of learning and self-discovery. Don't limit that by doing only what others are doing. Keep experimenting. Keep making mistakes. Keep pushing and creating something new EVERY DAY. Keep being you.
I hope you still think you are as terrible of an artist as you do now. It is the only way to continue to grow. I hope you never stop trying new things. I hope you never stop learning. I hope you never, ever, put the camera down.
I'm Allie, a lifestyle and documentary photographer. I am wife to Mark for 5.5 years and mom to Norah, 4 and Henry, 1. We live by the beach in Southern New Jersey. I've loved photography since I was a little kid but have just this year started taking myself seriously as an artist. Besides photography, I love to paint and read, go thrift store shopping, and have pajama-dance-parties with my kids. I love Regina Spektor, cholula sauce on everything, and floral prints.

At the end there is a brief note on breakpoints.
The scrollbars that appear in three of the subwindows behave like normal Win32 scrollbars, except as noted. The thumb of a scrollbar can be dragged to reposition the window contents; clicking on the up/down arrows of a scrollbar scrolls the window by one line; clicking above or below the scrollbar thumb causes the window contents to scroll up or down by a screenful. If a given subwindow has input focus, achieved performing some mouse command (such as clicking) in the window, the keyboard interface to the scrollbar also works. That is, the up/down arrows scroll the window by one line; the page up/page down keys scroll the subwindow by one page.
Note that although the entire window can be resized, the only window divider than can be moved is the one between the disassembler subwindow and the log subwindow.
The register subwindow shows the current state of all the 8080 registers any time the emulation is halted. It is automatically updated after each single step or other state change. This subwindow is grayed out while the emulator is running the 8080 processor.
The value for each register is given in two forms. The first form lists the register contents in hex (either 8b or 16b), the second form after the second '=' is the value in decimal. The flags register is somewhat different, in that the second form shows which flags are set mnemonically: S=sign, Z=zero, H=half carry, C=carry, P=parity.
Tick is the current emulated 8080 cycle count; it currently is not working.
This window is read-only. To modify the contents of a register, use the SET command via the command subwindow.
The stack subwindow shows the region of memory surrounding the stack pointer, SP. The display shows 16-bit words, all even/odd aligned with the current SP value. The entry that corresponds to the top of stack (TOS) is shows highlighted in yellow. This subwindow is grayed out while the emulator is running the 8080 processor.
The region of memory being viewed can be manipulated in the usual ways via the scrollbar, or if the window has input focus, by the standard keyboard interface. As an extension of normal behavior, the HOME key can be used to scroll the window such that the TOS is visible.
Although this window automatically centers the display on the current TOS when the debugger is invoked, the window can be scrolled to any location in the 64K memory space. To make the scrolling fast, when the thumb is dragged, the window isn't updated; instead a small 4-digit hex number is shown, and the display is updated when the thumb is released.
The window is read-only. To modify the contents of the stack, or more generally any memory location, use the ENTER, EB, or EA commands via the command subwindow.
The disassembly subwindow is used to display the program in memory using standard Intel 8080 mnemonics. If the instruction corresponding to the current PC is in the window, it is displayed with yellow highlighting, as shown above. This subwindow is grayed out while the emulator is running the 8080 processor.
Using standard windows scrollbar behavior, the user can change the region being displayed in the window. As an extension of normal windows scrollbar behavior, if the window has input focus, hitting the HOME key causes the display to scroll such that the line containing the current PC is positioned in the window.
Because updating the display is slow, dragging the thumb on the vertical scrollbar doesn't immediately scroll the display. Instead, a four-digit hex display is shown of which area of memory will be displayed when the thumb is released.
Note that scrolling backwards or jumping to an arbitrary starting location is problematic. This is because 8080 instructions can be one, two, or three bytes long. For example, when scrolling back one line, going back one byte might be a valid one byte opcode, or it might be the immediate data of a two-byte or three-byte instruction. Solace uses a heuristic to try and get a reliable "sync"; it goes back 10 instructions or so and disassembles forward. If the address of interest falls in the middle of an instruction in the resulting stream, it is assumed that the immediately preceding instruction start is the true instruction boundary. Although it works is most cases, the heuristic isn't foolproof, so be warned that this may happen if the disassembly seems goofy.
Note that two of the instructions have a red circle in the left column. A solid red circle (at $C02B, above) means that there is an active breakpoint on that instruction. A hollow red circle (at $C034, above) means that there is a disabled breakpoint on that instruction.
Breakpoints can be entered, listed, and manipulated via the command line interface, but this window provides a few shortcuts as well.
Holding down the CTRL key and left-clicking on a line causes a breakpoint to be set on that line. If there is already an active breakpoint on the line, it is disabled; if there is already a disabled breakpoint on that line, the breakpoint is killed (deleted).
Double left clicking on a line causes a temporary breakpoint to be set on the line and 8080 execution is resumed until the line is reached or another breakpoint is encountered, whichever comes first.
The integrated Solace 8080 debugger supports source code overlays. These are simply the .PRN files that are output by the standard CP/M ASM and MAC assemblers. Whenever a .ENT or .HEX file is loaded from the main menu, Solace looks in the same directory for a file with the same root name but with a .PRN suffix. If it is found, it is "autoloaded" as a source code overlay. Optionally, a user can manually load a source code overlay via the debugger command line interface via the "OVerlay" command. In either case, the OVerlay command has many forms which can be used to control how overlay information is managed and used.
Below appears three snippits of the disassembler window with different overlay modes enabled. In the "on" mode, whenever Solace needs to disassemble at a given instruction, it checks to see if there is a source code overlay matching that address. If there is a match, then the source code file is displayed. If there is no match, the line is just mechanically disassembled. In the "off" mode, it is as if there is no overlay in memory. In the "both" mode, if there is a source code overlay for a given address, it is displayed (but in gray) and the line is also mechanically disassembled.
In either "on" or "both" modes, the bytes of memory corresponding to the source line are compared against the actual memory contents. If they don't match, the source line is still printed, but it appears as red text instead of black.
More than one overlay can be in memory at one time. If one address has a match in more than one overlay, the most recently loaded or refreshed overlay is the one shown. In the cause of autoloaded overlays (i.e., those loaded implictly as the result of loading a .hex or .ent file from the main menu), the overlay system can elect to dispose of an overlay if too little of the overlay is meaningful. Manually loaded overlays stay in memory until explicitly purged.
The overlay command takes many form so it is best to type "help overlay" in the debugger to get the rundown.
The log subwindow shows a history of commands that the user has typed in and the debugger responses. The user input is echoed with a grayed background to help distinguish commands from responses.
500 lines of history are maintained; lines older than that simply vanish. There is currently no way to log the output to a file, nor to copy a selection from the window.
The vertical scroll bar appears whenever there are enough lines in the command history to warrant it. The scrollbar responds to the typical scrollbar behavior: the window may be scrolled up/down a line/page at a time by clicking on the up/down arrows are above/below the thumb; the thumb can be dragged. If the log subwindow has input focus, which is achieved by clicking in the window or by manipulating the scrollbar, then the scrollbar responds to standard keyboard scrolling behavior. The up/down arrow keys move the display up/down one line; the up/down page keys scroll the display a page at a time. Typing the HOME key causes the window to scroll such that the last entry becomes visible.
The command subwindow accepts debugger commands from the user; a command is interpreted when the ENTER key (carriage return) is hit.
50 lines of command history are maintained; commands older than this are simply discarded. The user can access older commands via the up/down arrows; up-arrow corresponds to moving to older commands. To prevent tediously scrolling past commands which have been repeated, the command history mechanism will show a given command only once when scrolling up or down through the command history.
Note that some of the mouse command shortcuts in the disassembler subwindow "stuff" phantom commands into the command subwindow to cause the specified actions to happen.
<foo> means that foo isn't literal, just descriptive of what the argument is.
Things in square brackets, like [foo], means it is an optional argument.
Ellipses (...) means that there can be a number of subsequent arguments.
Command names can be abbreviated in many cases; below the necessary part is shown in caps, while the optional part is in lower case and inside parentheses.
Numeric arguments are hex by default, but this can be overridden to be decimal by starting the number with a "#" character.
The command line is case insensitive except for the string arguments to the EA and LA commands.
There are two types of breakpoints: PC breakpoints, and data breakpoints (read byte, read word, write byte, write word, in, and out). It should be noted that PC breakpoints are triggered before the instruction at the specified address is executed, while data breakpoints occur after the instruction that triggered the breakpoint is executed.

Women's soccer loses in penalties
Amy Apostol '19 scores two goals
By Max Berkowitz Nov. 12, 2015
Amy A. Apostol '19 battles a Springfield College player for control of the ball during last Saturday's NEWMAC semifinal match. The Engineers lost to Springfield College in a penalty kick shootout 3-4.
Lenny Martinez—The Tech
The first-seeded MIT women's soccer team saw its season come to a close in penalty kicks last Saturday afternoon against fourth-seeded Springfield College in the first of two New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) semifinals matches at Steinbrenner Stadium on the campus of MIT on Saturday afternoon.
Tied at 2-2 after 110:00 minutes of action, the Engineers and the Pride headed to penalty kicks. Springfield hit four of its five shots to MIT's three, which included the game winner by senior Jessica Miller, as the Pride sealed their spot in the NEWMAC Championship match tomorrow.
Both squads had early opportunities with MIT Jennifer Ibanez '16 putting a shot on goal in the opening minute, but it was stopped short of the mark by sophomore goalkeeper Ciara Boucher for Springfield. Two minutes later the Pride had its first shot when Miller let one go that missed just to the left of the goal.
Springfield then found the mark on its next shot. Senior Nicole Fowler performed a flip throw in from the right side of the field five and a half minutes into the game as the ball came down in the MIT goal box at the feet of Miller, who was able to put in the back of the net for the first score of the game.
MIT nearly came up with the equalizer 19 minutes in when Allie Hrabchak '19 broke in behind the Springfield defense and rifled off a shot, but Boucher came out to challenge and managed to deflect the ball away with her feet. Springfield got off four more shots on goal over the final 15 minutes of the half, but Lauren Ullmann '17 saved them all to keep it a one-goal game at the break.
Like the first half, MIT had an early opportunity at the start of the second half, but this time it paid off. Olivia Struckman '18 played the ball into the middle from the right side and found fAmy Apostol '19, who turned it into the net to tie the game. Just two minutes later Fowler put Springfield back on top when she broke free 15 yards out from the goal, moved right, and fired a shot in to make it 2-1.
The Engineers found the game-tying goal at the 72:43 mark as Struckman fed the ball to Apostol, who buried her second tally of the contest, leaving the game even at 2-2, heading into extra time.
In the first overtime session, Struckman nearly potted the game winner just 2:24 in, but Boucher stood her ground in the box, which made for a second overtime period.
This time, Springfield came out with more urgency to score than it had in the first ten minutes of overtime. Only getting one shot off in the first OT frame, the Pride opened action in the second session with four consecutive shots, one saved by Ullmann and the others fluttering wide of the goal mouth.
Struckman, once again came alive in the second OT period as she closed the frame with a pair of shots, but neither team could find the back of the net, which sent the contest to decisive penalty kicks.
Apostol, Elizabeth Porter '17 and Ibanez all hit their penalty shots for the Engineers, but it wasn't enough as in the final round, Miller drove the winning shot into the back of the net that lifted Springfield to the victory (4-3 on penalties).
Ullmann made a season-high 12 saves for MIT, while Boucher stopped the ball seven times for Springfield. The Pride outshot the Engineers by a 29-15 margin and held a 7-5 advantage in corner kicks.
MIT (11-6-3) sees its season come to an end with the loss.

Modest Sexiness
Posted in Hijab, Middle East, Morocco, Muslim Women	by Margari Aziza Hill
I wrote a bit about it Abayas and 'ho shoes in my entry, Hot Girls in Kuwait. While i was in Egypt, I noticed that nearly 90% of the women on the street wore hijab. But even with hijab, there were many levels of modest from sexy to completely niqab. As for the sexy women, they ranged in age. Many of them were young women who covered each inch of skin. But they wore tight jeans, shirts, and figure revealing outfits. A lot of Muslims dismiss them outright. Media Watchers extensively discussed the negative attitudes and pejorative terms used to describe women who wear hijab and sexy outfits.
Speaking of words we call ourselves, I must mention the derogatory terms. "Hojabi" and "muhajababe" have worked their way into our vocabulary (hojabi even has its own entry in UrbanDictionary.com). And, they are pervasive enough that non-Muslims have begun to use them in reference to us. They exist because we ourselves have invented them and used them, and they are born out of words that describe what one wears on one's head (I haven't come across any derogatory terms for bihejabis, but feel free to enlighten me).
Women who cover their hair while wearing flashy or figure revealing clothing are frequently looked down upon by both people who support hijab and those who don't. That is the irony of it. Without looking into the contradictions that these women straddle, the pressure to affirm their Muslim identity through hijab and the pressure to be considered desirable and attractive. Both pressures exist in Muslim societies, as well as Muslim communities in the West. Pamela Windo recently weighed in with a very insightful about hijab in Morocco titled, Hijab and High Heels.
I returned to the States in 1997, but I continue to pop back to Morocco for my yearly nostalgic pilgrimage. I've just been on one of those trips and was surprised, alarmed even, to see how many more women are now wearing headscarves, most noticeably in the modern cities of Casablanca and Rabat. Not older women, but young ones; the same age group as the young women who had so exuberantly discarded them a decade before. And instead of scarves tied under the chin, they have now adopted the hijab, which is swathed closely around the head in the stricter Middle Eastern way.
Although they are made of colorful fabrics with pretty clips at the back, what most struck me was the blatant dichotomy between the hijab and their other clothes. While a few women wear it with a subdued djellaba, and others with their everyday modern suits, skirts and coats, a startling number of young Moroccan women combine the hijab with figure-revealing blue or black jeans, elaborate glittering belts, modern sexy tops and designer sunglasses. Equally striking is the glossy-magazine-style make-up, heavy on the lipstick and black kohl eye-liner.
For Muslim women, the hijab, worn for centuries by their forbears, is an essential part of their identity. Given that it is a symbol of modesty and sexual purity, and body-revealing clothes the hijab's opposite, the alarm I had at first felt was quickly followed by empathy.
I really liked this article because it explores the realities of hijab without casting judgment. Because they explore the realities and pressures, their discussion of hijab is a lot more nuanced than the idealistic depictions of hijab. However, just many of the blog entries in Muslimah Media Watch indicate, more and more Muslims are sensitive to the pressures that we face. I am also hopeful because there are some up and coming scholars. One such scholar wrote a masters thesis on the ideas of beauty in Arab societies. She argues that Arab Muslim women strategically navigate the seemingly conflicting Islamic ideal of feminine modesty and Arab society's ideals of beauty. What I really enjoy about her work is that, while not being an Arab, she is a Muslim woman who wears hijab. She deals with those pressures and projections. Even those of us who don't wear hijab are fully aware that our bodies are the subject of so much scrutiny. People in the West want to claim that we are liberated while Muslims want to liberate us by pressuring us to cover. I believe that there is no compulsion in religion. However, I recognize the reality that we have many explicit and implicit pressures that tell us how to be, how to act, and how to dress as Muslims.

Sri Lanka invites Indian PM for SARC Summit in Col...
Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Leader Somawansa Amarasinghe has pleaded for the European Union's Generalised System of Preferences (GSP+) trade scheme benefit during a tour he made to the United Kingdom last week, urging Britain to intervene on Sri Lanka's behalf.
JVP Propaganda Secretary Vijitha Herath told The News-Lanka that during the meeting Amarasinghe had with British Labour MP Andrew Love, who also heads the Sri Lanka Committee of the British Parliament, the JVP Leader had emphasised that if the EU were to curtail the GSP+ benefit, it would not only impact the government but also affect the people outright, especially the thousands employed in the garment industry.
Amarasinghe had urged the British Parliamentarian to intervene on Sri Lanka's behalf and ensure that the GSP+ benefit was given to Sri Lanka, to which Love had responded that although their role was very limited, the Sri Lanka Government could do "much more" to ensure that the benefit is enjoyed by the island nation.The JVP Leader's plea comes just weeks after UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe undertook a mission to the EU, where he held high-level discussions with senior officials, urging them to renew the GSP+ concession to Sri Lanka once it expires later this year.
With a fresh coup attempt distressing United National Party (UNP) Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe, the seemingly nervous UNP Leader was seeing attempting to lure party members and also approaching rebel MPs who had defected to the government, promising them plum positions if they sided with him, The Nation reliably learns.Highly-placed sources, who spoke on the condition of strict anonymity, claimed that over the past week, Wickremesinghe had been having one-to-one meetings with UNP Parliamentarians to test the waters – amidst secret closed door meetings being held elsewhere, where moves to overthrow Wickremesinghe had been discussed at length.
"Some 30 to 35 members are in support of the overthrow moves, but no one is showing their support in the open for obvious reasons," the sources said. It is learnt that apart from Wickremesinghe and his close associates, even members of the government are trying to identify those who were heading the attempts in a bid to buy them over, but the adamant UNPers are insistent that they only want a leadership change, not a party change.The majority of the members who are fighting for the change have cited Wickremesinghe's failure to take collective decisions as the main reason for the change, with the other reason being their loss of faith in his leadership.
According to the sources, despite the heavy resistance given by the LTTE terrorists, soldiers who were inching towards LTTE territory captured the entire bund of the Periyamadu Tank which is about 2.5 Km long.
Seven soldiers were suffered injuries during the gun battle and damages to the LTTE terrorists are yet to be known. It is a major set back to the LTTE terrorists as the security forces gained the whole tank area under their control.

SLAF jets destroy key LTTE combat-logistic facility in Mullaittiuvu
SLAF fighter jets launched precision air sorties destroying a key LTTE combat-logistic facility located at Venavil Southwest of Puthukkudiyiruppu in Mullaittiuvu district on Sunday (June 15) at around 10a.m.
Large explosions were observed from the target site Air Force Spokesperson Wing Commander Janaka Nanayakkara said, citing fighter pilots, further adding that the facility was used to convert, maintain and service LTTE's combat vehicles.
The target was acquired following constant air surveillances and continuously gathered information, defence sources said. This strategically important facility also consisted a large fuel dump, the sources added. The workshop at this site was used to modify, maintain and service combat transport vehicles for the LTTE and also believed to be a prime logistic and combat supply storage for the terrorists, the sources further asserted.

Sri Lanka invites Indian PM for SARC Summit in Colombo
Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama will arrive today to New Delhi to extend the formal invitation to Dr Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India to attend the 15th SAARC Summit in August to be held in Colombo. The next meeting of the Heads of State and government of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) is scheduled to be held from 2 – 3 August, in Sri Lanka.
The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) with almost 1.5 billion people, the combined population of its member states was established on December 8, 1985 by India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Maldives and Bhutan. In April 2007, at the Association's 14th summit in India, Afghanistan became its eighth member. SAARC provides a platform for the peoples of South Asia to work together in a spirit of friendship, trust and understanding. It aims to accelerate the process of economic and social development in member states.
As the SARC summit is to be held in Colombo, it is a customary practice to deliver invitations in person to all Heads of Government. As India is the current Chair, the first invitation will be delivered to the Indian Prime Minister. During this visit Minister is expected to have bilateral talks with the Indian Minister of External Affairs, Pranab Mukherjee.
According to news reports, Indian External Affairs Minister Mukherjee will host a "working lunch" for Bogollogama at the Hyderabad House on Monday. The two leaders will have a detailed discussion on the Sri Lanka situation as well as areas of bilateral cooperation.

Fairy Tail – Final Season – 26
Opinions (A+):
It continues to baffle me how much Fairy Tail's Final Season will continue to work against itself. This week's episode should've been one of the best episodes of the entire franchise, it should have been and it could've been. Terrible adaptation choices, however, continue to ruin what should be seminal and emotional moments in the show's final chapter. And personally, I can't help lament the fact that if this had been either Season 1 or Two, then this episode would've gotten an S Grade for how awesome one particular moment was in this episode.
The fact that this episode is only an A+, I think speaks to how I feel about it. Look, I get that not many people care about our grading rubric too much here at Anime Evo, but the S Grade is something special. I've only given S grades to episodes that I feel go above and beyond, that hit that perfect moment that even an entire series can't really hit. Generally, an entire series will have ONE S Grade episode, if its lucky. The reason for that is simple, that episode, in that show? Its the best episode of the entire show.
And here's the thing, with what happened here? With the whole Gajeel death scene? That was S-Grade worthy. It was so emotional, so well done, that I teared up and cried a little. I felt for Gajeel and I felt for how tragic it was that this guy, who's had such a great redemption arc throughout the series, isn't getting a happy ending with the girl that he likes. And not only just Gajeel, but the bond that he's developed with both Levi and Panther Lily, was one of the biggest achievements of Mashima-sensei as a storyteller.
I've often been amazed at how impressively Mashima-sensei has redeemed certain characters. Laxus is definitely one of my favorites, and even Jellal gets a few awesome moments, but I think Gajeel kind of exceeds them, and almost makes his way into a sort of protagonist level with this episode.
A death scene for a character is a really hard thing to pull off well. For one, if fans or viewers like the character, then that's a tough pill to swallow. Secondly, the buildup and development to that death scene, has to be exceedingly well done. And three, of course, it has to come as a shocking surprise.
And what's interesting about the whole Gajeel thing, is that it isn't shocking or surprising, and yet it still hits really hard. The show pretty much telegraphed what was going to happen, both with its episode title, and also with the horrible preview last week. The fact that this moment with Gajeel basically dying infront of Levi, while Lily basically held her back from trying to commit suicide and try and save him? That was pretty powerful stuff.
But what sold it all, was the dialogue and the flashback/flashforward scenes. Gajeel's speech, was heartfelt and really came from the heart. It called back to everything we've seen, not just from the character in this franchise, but in his interactions with both Levi and Panther Lily.
I particularly loved the reference to how Gajeel was kind of the third string Dragon Slayer, next to Natsu and Wendy. It definitely must've hurt to be left behind by those two, but what was even more powerful, was how meeting Levi, kind of changed Gajeel's how outlook on life. His focus became happiness and having a normal life with the woman he fell for, and that I think, is the closest Fairy Tail has ever come, to doing romance and emotional romantic drama right.
Gajeel and Levi feel like a believable romantic couple, and that's an impressive feat in itself, given where those two started off from. Its a real beauty and the beast kind of scenario here, and I have to say, I was both satisfied and left emotionally hollow by what happened to Gajeel.
Having said all of that, its natural to wonder what prevented this episode from rising above the rest. And the sad fact is that this moment, despite how well it was executed, not only had issues, but once again, did not have the time dedicated to it, to have it properly sink in.
Simply put, much more so even than the Wendy/Shelia stuff from a few weeks ago, this moment needed an entire episode dedicated to it. The first half of the Gajeel fight from last week, should've been moved to this week, and the whole episode, should have focused on this entire thing. The battle should've had awesome animation, which it did not. The artwork was good, the still frame shots looked cool, but Gajeel taking down Bloodman was not only pretty sub par in motion, but it also happened really fast.
The entire Gajeel segment, including the OP, the flashback scenes, it all totaled to just around 10 minutes of the 24 minute episode. That's not even HALF of the runtime of the episode, and when I saw Gajeel "punching" Bloodman, and how cheap that looked, I could see the show cutting corners.
Essentially, the show ended up getting the "fight" part of the whole Gajeel vs Bloodman moment over fairly quickly, and then proceeded to spend the majority of its time selling the tragedy of Gajeel having to die. And look, I'm not broken up about the fact that the show focused more on the character moments, because that's always been Fairy Tail's focus and its bread and butter. No, the problem is that this time, the fight itself, despite having a cool moment of Gajeel pulling a Laxus by absorbing the Bane particules and then exceeding him by using them, didn't actually do anything exciting visually.
The fight between Gajeel and Bloodman needed to be longer, and it needed its own episode and week to properly shine. Heck, I would've been okay with TWO episodes, because the moment really needed that. Its clear, however, that the show's production budget couldn't support something like that.
And that's enough of a shame, but what made it all even worse, was the huge chunk of content and story that followed. The next stuff was either pretty interesting or just flat out annoying, and after seeing such an emotional scene, the audience needed time to breathe and grieve.
Instead we got a stupid moment where Mest ended up screwing Fairy Tail by becoming a despicable villaim and betraying Brandish in order to try and take out August. This scene, just rubbed me the wrong way, because Mest isn't that stupid. He should've known that a simple sneak attack wasn't enough to kill the strongest of the Sprigann 12. And on top of that, its just not in character for the guy. Mest is sneaky and clever and covert, but he's not an immoral person. If anything the show and story have shown him to be weak in terms of being able to make the hard choices.
So ultimately, the show broke a character because they needed to have the negotiations with August fail, and Mashima-sensei didn't figure out a better way. This is one of those cardinal sins of character based storytelling, and I'm shocked that we got this kind of stuff, in the same episode as the Gajeel stuff.
It DOES take away from it all, just by being in close proximity. And really, this is more so on the director and script writers for this show. They KNEW this content was coming, and the smart move would've been to adjust things around and create some space between the two. I'm just not sure what's going on with regards to this show, because it feels like the people behind it, just don't care too much. This is the kind of stuff that good direction and writing can help avoid.
THIS is what the people adapting a manga need to bring to the table. Spacing things out, figuring out where to put what and where to potentially stretch things out…. That's all on the people producing the anime. And I hate to say it, but they really failed here.
And if that weren't enough, There was the potential "world resetting" stuff from Irene that we got as the episode closed out. I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen here, but once again, I cringed when the show decided to focus on EVERY group of characters in the show, and then have the screen fade to red. As someone who has done animation in the past, I KNOW how simple that is to do in after effects or any editing program. That was a simple budget and time save, and it felt sickening in an episode that had already dropped the ball so much.
So… After all those complaints, why is this episode an A+ Grade? And well… Let me first state that its kind of funny that I'm defending my decisions on grading, from the opposite ends of the spectrum, within the same episode. But really, the reason this episode is an A+ Grade, is because of the Gajeel stuff. That moment was superb, and if this episode had been even remotely different, then this week would've given Fairy Tail another S Grade in its collection. On the flip side, if the Gajeel stuff hadn't been in this episode, I don't think it would've even made it to a B Grade.
Which, is a darn shame, because it would've been better, in my humble opinion, to get a really AMAZING episode and then potentially get a less than stellar one. Once again, I feel like this adaptation is doing so much wrong. Between both this show and To Aru Majutsu no Index, its been a really rough year for fans of long running franchises that are finally getting conclusions after so long. Now… While Fairy Tail's Final Season isn't incomprehensible like Index III was, its still killing it's own story and epic moments.
For the life of me, I just can't understand why something this good is consistently turning out to be rough and disappointing even when it shouldn't be. Rest in peace Gajeel, you and Levi and Lily deserved way better.

Q: Declarations and global reference variables for several files My folder contains several files, which are compiled in this order: global.ml, zone.ml, abs.ml, main.ml
global.ml contains some reference variables (e.g. let g1 = ref 0) for all the files.
In zone.ml there is a declaration let f = !g1.
In abs.ml, there is g1 := 5, which will be run by main in the beginning of run-time, I consider it as an initialization of g1 given the real run-time context.
Later main will call Zone.f. Curiously, what I realize is that it takes f = 0 instead of f = 5.
Do you think this behavior is normal? If so, what should I change, to make it take the current value of !g1 into account?
PS: Maybe one solution is to make a function let f v = v in zone.ml then let main call Zone.f !g1. But I have several global reference variables as g1 in global.ml, I hope they could be valid over all the files and functions, and I don't want to get them involved in the signature of a function.

A: You are basically concerned with the order of evaluation of the top-level values in your modules.  The order in which this happens isn't related to the order that you compile the files, but rather the order that they appear when you link the files.
If you ignore the module boundaries, if you link the files in the order you give, what you have is like this:
let g1 = ref 0
let f = !g1
let () = g1 := 5

It shouldn't be surprising that f has the value 0.
Note that your main is not necessarily the first thing that happens at runtime.  Top-level values are evaluated in the order the files appear when you link them.  Very commonly, main is the last top-level thing to happen (because its file is usually the last one).
(Also note that having a main at all is just a convention, presumably adopted by former C programmers like me.  There's no requirement to have a function named main.  OCaml just evaluates the top-level values in order.)
Edit:
It's difficult to say how to restructure your code without knowing more about it.  The essence of your problem appears to be that you define f as a top-level immutable value in zone.ml but you want its value to follow g1, which is a mutable value.
The simplest suggestion would be to remove the definition of f from zone.ml and replace it everywhere in the file with !g1.
If you want to retain the name f at the top level in zone.ml, you have to redefine it as something other than an immutable value.  A function is the most obvious choice:
let f () = !g1

Then you would replace uses of f in zone.ml by f () instead.
