PROJECTS/PROGRAMS
Object Oriented Finite Elements (OOF)
OOF is a collaborative effort between the Information Technology Laboratory and the Material Measurement Laboratory at NIST. The intended audience of the OOF software is a materials scientist who requires access to sophisticated mathematical and computational tools to perform microstructure characterization, but who is not necessarily an expert in these fields. OOF packages this functionality, and provides a materials-focused user interface to allow users to extend their mathematical reach.

The best and most current information about the OOF software, including current downloads, can be found at the main OOF site.
The general workflow of the OOF software begins with a 2D or 3D image. OOF provides tools for maniupating the image to highlight scientifically important features, and to then construct a finite-element mesh on this image that matches these features. Users can then specify the bulk properties of the various regions of the microstructure -- many simple properties are packaged with the software, and there is also an application program interface for users to provide custom constitutive rules for their materials models. Finally, users can perform a "virtual experiment" with the software to characterize the response of the microstructure as a whole to various boundary conditions.
OOF currently has both first and second order time dependence, and a variety of properties whose structure is that of a divergence nist-equation -- these include heat or chemical flux, elasticity, and several important couplings, including thermal expansion and piezoelectricity.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The principal OOF activity now is the addition of crystal plastic constitutive rules to the code, with the goal of being able to predict the microstructure-dependent mechanical response of complex materials to large loads. Because of the history-dependence, plasticity differs in character from materials models previously considered in the OOF software. We face a number of architectural and performance challenges in bringing this capability to a useable state, while preserving the wide range of applicability and generalizability that is the primary goal of the OOF software.
With the assistance of an expert from the field of computational mecahnics, post-doctoral researcher Shahriyar Keshavarz, the architectural challenge is now essentially solved in a prototype code.
The difficulties arising from the history-dependence of the plastic behavior turned out to be only part of the story. A previously unrecognized difficulty arose related to the incorporation of large-strain elasticity. From the point of view of mathematics or physics, large-strain elasticity appears to effectively amount to a different constitutive rule, and with an understanding of the geometry, it seems that it is at least conceptually straightforward to construct an nist-equation which can be solved in either the reference, undeformed configuration, or in the "lab space," depending on one's choice of stress measure and willingness to undertake successive applications of the chain rule of differentiation. One makes a selection, applies it consistently, and achieves whatever level of generality one wishes.
In the computational mechanics community, there is a time-honored way of approaching this problem which involves a decomposition into constitutive and geometric parts, and the construction of an intermediate space in which plastic strain is present but elastic deformation is not. This space has high importance for crystal plasticity, because it is a space in which the lattice remains invariant, and in particular where the crystallographic planes along which the plasticity acts retain their original orientations. Understanding the evolution rules for the system as acting in these two spaces connects usefully to the different physical mechanisms taking place. It is, on the one hand, a powerful tool in understanding the mechanisms, and on the other hand, essential to communicating with the computational mechanics community against whom we want to benchmark, and from whom we expect to obtain candidate constitutive rules.
Respecting this decomposition means one cannot simply write a more general history-dependent PDE solver to properly address this problem.
We now have a software architectural demonstration code which maintains the desired generality of the OOF code, retains the ability to operate on unstructured meshes derived from image data, and incorporates the spatial decomposition of the problem while allowing for "pluggable" plastic constitive rules, to facilitate structure-property explorations. Our next task is to incorporate this into the main OOF code itself.
In addition, we have a renewed focus on interoperability, and have near-term plans to make it easier to incorporate OOF capabilities into existing or currently-planned high-throughput or scale-crossing workflows, either by ingesting property information from the emerging suite of repositories, setting up an MDCS instance to allow the public exchange of OOF property and materials data, or incorporting OOF into scale-crossing design-optimizing workflows.
To this end, we are investigating the practicality of ingesting or producing microstructural data in the Dream3D format, or related HDF5-based formats under development in Europe, and are participating in workshops where tools and workflows are featured, starting with the PRISMs and ICE workflows, from the University of Michigan and the US Air Force, respectively.

Bravery in two Alaska rescues honored
A Coast Guard swimmer and a team of auxiliarists win the AFRAS Gold and Silver Medals
The Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary in Alaska received both the Gold Medal and Silver Medal from the Association for Rescue at Sea for separate rescues — one involving four people in a life raft and the other 13 people aboard a sinking vessel.
"It is a great honor that Alaska has received both this year," says Mike Folkerts, recreational boating safety specialist for Alaska's Coast Guard District 17. "We've seen some phenomenal rescues here."
The national boating fatality rate is 5.3 per 100,000 registered boats, according to the latest Coast Guard statistics. In Alaska, says Folkerts, it's 18. "It's partly because help tends to be far away, since our state is so big and the water is so cold," says Folkerts, 55.
The Gold Medal, handed out along with the Silver at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., went to Petty Officer Willard Milam, 42, a rescue swimmer who saved the crew of a 42-foot fishing vessel, Feb. 10, 2007. The four crewmembers were in a life raft in 15-foot seas off Ualaska Island, near Makushin Bay.
Air Station Kodiak received a 406 MHz EPIRB signal at 11:22 p.m. Feb. 9. The raft's location was verified at 12:01 a.m. when a second signal came in. A Coast Guard helicopter was launched at 12:30 in near-zero visibility and winds gusting to 60 knots. Water temperature was 40 degrees.
Upon arriving on scene, the helicopter crew spotted a flare, and Milam jumped into the frigid water 10 yards from the raft. There was no sign of the fishing boat. Reaching the raft, he saw that the four survivors were drenched, and one was severely hypothermic. Milam radioed the helicopter to deploy the basket as close to the raft as possible to minimize their exposure to the water. Four survival suits were sent down on the hoist hook to prevent further exposure, and two were quickly swept away. Milam retrieved the suits and returned to the raft to assist the survivors into anti-exposure gear.
At this point, Milam realized his dry suit was filling with water, but he was able to get the first survivor successfully into the basket. "When I slid into the water off the raft I could feel the water flowing into my suit," says Milam. "It filled up instantaneously and was taking my breath away."
He felt his legs going numb, and for the first time in his 20-year career — 15 as a rescue swimmer — he requested an emergency pickup. Back in the helicopter, it became apparent his motor functions were deteriorating. However, fuel was getting low, and the crew would be facing a headwind on the way back, leaving only 15 minutes to complete the rescue. There were thoughts of lowering the basket and letting the rest of the survivors get in themselves, but Milam valiantly returned to the water.
"As far as what gave me the energy to go back in, I really couldn't say," says Milam. "I knew, though, if I did not go back in, that in all likelihood that one or two of those men down there would probably not survive."
On the final hoist, the remaining survivor jumped feet-first from the life raft and knocked the basket from Milam's hands. A wave broke over them both as Milam swam toward the basket with the man, who began to panic and got the hoist cable wrapped around his neck.
"I thought, Oh s---," says Milam. "Fortunately, the flight mechanic saw it also and immediately paid out all the cable so that it would not go tight around his neck. That guy is alive today in large part [because of] the flight mechanic doing an outstanding job of recognizing the situation and reacting immediately."
Milam removed the cable from the man's neck, then placed him in the basket. With all four survivors on the helicopter, Milam was hoisted up. He had become hypothermic and started fading in and out of consciousness. The crew made their way back to Dutch Harbor at about 3:30 a.m., and he was transferred to an awaiting ambulance along with the other survivors.
"I actually thought I was walking two survivors to the ambulance," says Milam. "It was not until the next day I found out that the co-pilot and a paramedic were walking me."
Milam says that's the last thing he remembers before waking up a few hours later in the clinic, surrounded by heat lamps and blankets. When he was released at 7:30 a.m., he saw some of the family members of the survivors in the lobby, who expressed their appreciation for his efforts.
"The feeling I felt when they walked up cannot be described in words," says Milam. "For the last 15 years I have absolutely loved my job and have looked forward to going to work every single day. When you have a job you love, I guess it's an easy thing to do."
The AFRAS Silver Medal went to Coast Guard Auxiliarists Shane A. Taylor, Richard H. Liebe, Raymond F. Miller and Canadian Coast Guard Auxliarist Michael Cupit for their role in the rescue of 13 people from the 39-foot charter vessel Halibut Endeavor April 25, 2007.
Cupit happened to be with the U.S. Auxiliarists for a weeklong training session at the Coxswain Academy as part of an auxiliary exchange program. "Cupit was only our second Canadian to attend our academy," says Folkerts, the Coast Guard boating safety specialist.
The crew was undergoing a training exercise in Homer, Alaska, on a 27-foot Coast Guard boat when they heard a radio transmission to Air Station Kodiak around 1 p.m. of a boat in distress.
"We called them [Kodiak] and got the coordinates to respond," says Cupit, 33. "It sounded like there were only two people on board, and it came across as not so dire, maybe a few people on a boat whose pumps weren't working properly."
When they arrived, they found a very different scene. Thirteen people were huddled on the bow of Halibut Endeavor. Cupit says the entire aft deck was awash. Water temperature was 39 degrees with winds of 10 to 15 knots and clear conditions.
"Shane was able to snug the boat up to the port bow as we realized the people were trying to keep the vessel from rolling," says Liebe, 61. "We were able to get passengers over the railing of the deck and onto our boat."
With 11 passengers transferred, Liebe, who was at the stern, saw the vessel rolling toward them, and Taylor was able to break away. However, the captain and first mate were still on the bow of the now partially overturned vessel. Liebe, Miller and Cupit got the 11 passengers into the cabin to check for signs of hypothermia and injuries, while Taylor nosed his bow up to the Halibut's bow and retrieved the remaining two.
"It was literally a minute after that that the Halibut went vertical and sank, and then the life raft came up," says Liebe. "There was a man on board who was 85 years old. Between the water temperature, air temperature and the breeze, if any of them had gotten wet there would have been some fatalities."
Liebe says the transfer of all 13 people took about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the Roanoke Island, a 110-foot Coast Guard patrol boat home-ported in Homer, had arrived and took the passengers aboard.
It's unclear what caused Halibut Endeavor to sink. "What some of them said was there was water coming through the aft cockpit, which made me first think it was a problem with the self-draining scuppers," says Liebe. "But after the description I heard, it was probably a breakdown in the raw-water intake, since there were no visible signs of damage to the vessel."
Liebe and Cupit say the award came as a complete surprise. "When I heard about the AFRAS award, I thought 'Where did this come from?' " says Liebe. "We feel deeply honored to have received it."
Cupit says the experience of training with the U.S. Auxiliary was invaluable. "I've been with the Canadian Auxiliary for 10 years, and it was great working with so many great and experienced guys on this mission," says Cupit. "We were actually practicing what we ended up doing before we got the call. It was like doing a direct simulation in real life."

Q: R pairwise post-hoc to get contrasts of contrasts for interaction? I'm running a mixed-effects model in R and I want to know if there is code I can run to get contrasts of contrasts for an interaction for post-hoc testing.
A. Ie. the tukey test I'm running at the moment is this:
There are 2 regions (ML and HG) and 3 treatments (Low_control, Frog and High_control).
L.S <- pairs(lsmeans(juvweightmodelfeb6th, ~ Region*Treatment_three))
test(L.S, adjust = "tukey")

B. Which gets me these comparisons in the output:
HG,Low_control - ML,Low_control
 HG,Low_control - HG,Frog
 HG,Low_control - ML,Frog
 HG,Low_control - HG,High_control
 HG,Low_control - ML,High_control
 ML,Low_control - HG,Frog
 ML,Low_control - ML,Frog
 ML,Low_control - HG,High_control
 ML,Low_control - ML,High_control
 HG,Frog - ML,Frog
 HG,Frog - HG,High_control
 HG,Frog - ML,High_control
 ML,Frog - HG,High_control
 ML,Frog - ML,High_control
 HG,High_control - ML,High_control

C. But what I really want is these three comparisons, which are essentially contrasts of contrasts:
1. HG, Low_control - HG, Frog    -                 ML, Low_control - ML, Frog

2. HG, High_control - HG, Frog     -               ML, High_control - ML, Frog

3. HG, High_control - HG, Low_control     -   ML, High_control - ML, Low_control

D. How do I code for the above three contrasts in a post-hoc test for a mixed-effects model in R?
Thank you!!

Charles Dickens, adapted by Neil Duffield
Derby Theatre
5 December 2014 to 4 January 2015
'Tis the season to be jolly—and Derby Theatre ensures that everyone will get into the Christmas spirit with this sparkling presentation of Charles Dickens's perennial favourite.
There have been many adaptations of Dickens's novella and this is not the first time that Derby audiences have seen A Christmas Carol. The last time was in 2006 when Ben Roberts played Ebenezer Scrooge.
Neil Duffield's version sets the action in an industrial setting rather than Victorian London, a move which resonates well with Derby's manufacturing pedigree.
The ensemble piece calls for multi-talented actor-musicians who can play a variety of parts, sing carols and act as narrators. The short, snappy lines at the beginning give the production pace which slackens only during a protracted scene between Scrooge and his dead partner Marley.
The only actor without a multitude of roles is Jim Barclay as Scrooge. He gives a solid performance as he is made to recall his troubled past and opportunities for happiness which he has squandered.
He appears sarcastic more than spiteful in the initial stages when he is devoid of Christmas cheer. There is a marked contrast though between the original Scrooge and the generous, kind-hearted man he turns into after he is confronted by three ghosts.
Apart from Barclay, there are seven actors and eight young company members whose enthusiasm and versatility are delightful.
Almost half the cast have links to Derby. There is nothing to suggest that two of them, Daniel David and Esme Sears, are making their professional debuts.
Adam Horvath, whose first professional job was in Mike Kenny's new version of Homer's The Odyssey at Derby Theatre earlier in 2014, shows his adaptability as Ebenezer's nephew Fred and young Scrooge. He has come a long way in 12 months.
The rest of the cast comprises Christopher Price as an almost frightening Marley, an effervescent Fezziwig and an extrovert Ghost of Christmas Present, Kate Robson-Stuart who gives style and effrontery to the roles of Mrs Fezziwig and Mrs Cratchit as well as being a skilled violinist, Daniel Willis as humane Bob Cratchit and amiable toff Topper and Yana Penrose as a confident Kathleen.
The children are similarly striking, with Tiny Tim showing perception beyond his years when he declares that Scrooge must be "the loneliest man in the world".
Derby Theatre's artistic director Sarah Brigham brings out the dark side to Dickens's tale as well as the lighter, more uplifting moments.
There is a starring role for Neil Irish's set dominated by a huge clock which marks the passing of time for Scrooge and is a stark reminder for him that time is money.
As the play gallops towards its conclusion, prepare to have a lump in your throat when Scrooge proclaims that he has been shown joy "among people who have so little". The true message of Christmas shines through; it's enough to make anyone come a-wassailing.
It's not quite a perfect production but it's an impressive one which earns deserved applause from a receptive audience.

I would highly recommend West End Legal. Warren is well experienced, professional and has a knack for numbers, especially with complex financial assets including foreign holdings. He was also very helpful with my understanding of initial contributions, he showed me how to breakdown the nature of the asset contributed and its effect made, that was specific to my marriage.
[...] My matter was not easy, in fact it was very complex as Warren found out. Thanks to Warren's excellent knowledge and understanding of the Legislation, Regulations, law and the team of professional practitioners he works with, I can finally say my matter is resolved and closed.
One of the issues parties face following a separation is what weight should be given to initial contributions compared with contributions over the length of a marriage, especially a long marriage?
If you are considering separating from your partner, or if you have recently separated, you need to consider how the separation will affect your farming enterprise. You should obtain legal advice from an Accredited Family Law Specialist, as well as accounting advice from your accountant.
Warren is an excellent lateral thinker and he helped me tie up all the loose ends. To this day all of the agreements put in place have provided me with ongoing and future certainty and stability, especially as far as my child is concerned.

Q: SOC embedded SRAM cache coherency I'm studying the topic of Memory Hierarchy in Embedded Systems. On some embedded SOC devices dedicated SRAM is provided on die. My question is:
Why is SOC embedded SRAM usually not cache coherent with the main memory system?
As a result usually SRAM is mapped to a non-cached address space.
I know that the contents of SRAM depend on the application and usually a specific linker section maps specific data structures to SRAM in order to decrease access time to those data.
For instance, it is possible to place the Interrupt Vector Table into SRAM decreasing access time and forcing deterministic interrupt handling. Caching SRAM would make SRAM access not deterministic because of the possibility of cache misses to take place.
Anyway I don't understand if this is related to the reason why SRAM is not cache coherent.
Thanks.

A: On die memory us usually very fast.  Depending on how small/embedded you are asking about the cache and the on chip ram are the same speed so it would be silly to slow down the on die sram by adding extra cycles and widening the accesses by putting sram in front of it.  Those systems often have on chip flash as well and that does desire a cache or some sort of buffering to speed up execution and in that case you would see the cache in front of the flash.  To use the cache in front of sram for data accesses you would need some sort of memmory management, more stuff to take space on die and more stuff to slow things down.  A simple solution is to for example in the chip design declare everything with the msbit of the address set uncached and put your peripherals there and everything with the msbit not set cachable if the cache is enabled and put your ram and flash there.
If you have on chip and off chip memory that off chip memory space might want a cache and probably like the upper address bit or bits solution have only the off chip memory being cached (since it is likely slower).
In order to boot the vector table needs to be in flash, in general.  Some systems let you after boot switch what memory responds to that address space, branch to another address space for the flash, flip a control bit and now there is ram at the ivt, then you copy or create your new vector table in ram.  The flash memory that holds the ivt on boot is not necessarily non-deterministic, I would lean toward it being very deterministic, as deterministic as the on chip ram.  Perhaps a few clocks slower per access.  Your interrupt and any other execution performance is often more determined by your language and compiler than the system.
Perhaps you should specify the exact system or systems you are confused about.


No matter the reason, your club will likely see its member roster dwindle as the years roll by.
If this continues unchecked, you may even lose so many members that the club has trouble functioning. OK, we admit this sounds a little scary, so let's balance that bit of doom and gloom with some good news: Your club can avert this potential calamity by making a deliberate effort to improve its recruiting tactics. Although this advice may seem simplistic, we promise it's true. A vibrant recruitment program that actively seeks and then welcomes promising prospects should ultimately result in new members who can help keep your club running productively. Now doesn't that sound a whole lot better than a total club collapse?
If you've never really given much thought to an organized recruiting plan — and you wouldn't be the only one who hasn't — you might be a little clueless about how to start. We suggest beginning with the most important part of the process: finding people who might be interested in joining. But just where should a club go to look?
The most fertile source of new members is often the circle of friends and family surrounding your existing members. Reaching out to people at your work, school, house of worship or community activities ensures you'll already have at least one common connection and it's that connection that helps keep members emotionally as well as financially invested in a club's success.
Henri also believes that a personal connection to potential members gives a better glimpse into the type of member they'll be.
Some clubs take this "know your fellow members" idea to the extreme, forming clubs comprised only of family members or co-workers. All members of the 7-year-old Lunch Money Investment Club of Dearborn, Mich., for example, are either employees or contractors of Ford Motor Co. The club meets at work during lunch one day a month and when it's time to look for new members, the process is as easy as making a few photocopies.
Member Bob Mann explains: "About once or twice a year, we post fliers in the various buildings where we work. The fliers discuss how we invest for the long haul and that no experience is necessary." Ford employees are invited to an information session about BetterInvesting and its methodology, then to more in-depth investment training sessions if they decide to join the club.
The 52 Week High Investment Club of Phoenix recruits mainly from friends of members. One benefit of this is that when new members and current members are already friends, the mentorship process is a far more congenial one.
These days, "social networking" has a new meaning: using online communities and sites such as Facebook and Twitter to help keep up with your friends. Chris Johnson of the Southeastern Michigan Model Club of Madison Heights, Mich., is a regular Twitter and Facebook user, and he often posts updates when doing stock research or preparing for a club meeting.
Regardless of how you find your potential new members, most current club members can agree on one thing: the importance of screening them in some way before the club votes on membership. This often involves a probationary process in which the potential member attends meetings or educational sessions.
Henri's Texas club takes a formal approach to mentoring. "When new members come in, we immediately start to mentor them in stock definitions, ways to research, help on using the Internet if they need it and important things to look at when researching a stock," she says.
This personal interest is essential in ensuring your shiny new members stick around. You want them to enjoy their investment club experience as much as you want them to learn to invest, right? Just because you're all doing business together doesn't mean you can't have some fun, too.
"I think one of the main reasons we have stayed together is because we do quite a lot of communicating with each other between meetings, mostly by e-mail," Gloria says. "We have become friends. We also celebrate when we reach special goals. We got all dressed up and reserved a room at a restaurant and had a party with a cake and favors when we reached our 10-year anniversary." It's this sort of attitude that helps attract new members — and keep them.
Allow us one final bit of advice as you craft your club's recruitment plan. Don't wait until you get to a dangerously low number of members. Instead, start up an ongoing effort to identify, invite and admit new partners. Create an enticing introductory letter or packet, then keep it handy to share with anyone who shows an interest. Engage all your club's members in the recruitment process to increase your chances at bringing in some wonderful new people.
If you set an expectation that each partner should invite at least one new person to attend a club meeting each year, you'll likely find yourself with a bevy of possibilities. Remember that it's up to each member to join in the effort — your club's very survival might be at stake. And really, who wants to get the blame for that?

Dr. Bronner is exceedingly 'big picture' as a business. It makes personal care products – and very, very good personal care products at that. However, the brand is so much more than that. The products it makes are the result of a much bigger world view. This focuses on the truth that every decision and action we take is part of an inescapable interconnection with the entire world. From their suppliers, to employees, to customers – all these people who are part of our world – Dr Bronner as a company make decisions that profoundly affect all of their lives and the environment in which they live.
This leads us to Dr Bronner's extensive Fair Trade policies, Organic integrity policies, transparency as a company, benefits and profit-sharing with employees, animal welfare advocacy, Truth in Labelling activism. Take all of this together, and you have Dr. Bronner. All that it is as a company intersects in soap that they sell, but to say that they are just a soap company leaves a lot out.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO 'GO GREEN'?
Green is a colour of life. To 'go green' means to live in such a way that promotes vitality and vibrancy in the many spheres of our lives. Going green means making life-sustaining and life-improving choices for our bodies, our homes, and our world.
The founder's grand-daughter, Lisa Bronner, can sustain her entire personal care routine with the Dr. Bronner Pure Castile Liquid Soap and coconut oil. The Dr Bronner Pure Castile Soaps are gentle yet effective to wash her from head to toe. They resolved her adult-onset acne situations and got her off the hamster-wheel of conventional shampoo. They keep her skin balanced.
"It is refreshing as well to have been able to take the zillion bottles of various washes out of my shower, and replace them all with just the one bottle of Dr. Bronner. Secondly, coconut oil is the most amazing product and I really don't know how I lived so long without it. I'm still reeling from my discovery of it, and it's been two years since it entered my life. I use it to shave, remove make-up, moisturise from head to toe, as a hair masque, in my home made deodorant and sugar scrub, as a nail nourisher. I could go on. You'll just have to try it."

Report: A record-setting 800 people kidnapped in Haiti this year
October 21, 2021 158 views0

PORT-AU-PRINCE — The Center for Analysis and Research in Human Rights (CARDH) reported this week that at least 782 kidnappings have occurred since the start of the year, Le Nouvelliste reported Oct. 20. In the first half of October alone, 119 kidnappings have been reported.
CARDH reported 796 kidnappings for the entire 12 months of 2020 in Haiti. The latest numbers put 2021 on pace to set a new record for abductions by the end of December.
The Oct. 19 report follows a weekend kidnapping spree that drew international attention because 17 foreign missionaries — 16 Americans and one Canadian, including several children — were abducted in Ganthier, a town east of Port-au-Prince. FBI agents are in Haiti to investigate and work through a reported $17 million ransom request.
One day after the report was published, several people, including a 9-year-old, were kidnapped in Bon Repos in Croix-des-Bouquets, Le Nouvelliste reported. Read more

Despite being peaceful, security fears were among the reasons for the lower than last year's turnout of participants in Kadayawan Festivities held last weekend (August 16-18).
According to Davao City Tourism Office Officer-in-Charge Lisette Marquez, the turn-out particularly in the Floral Float Parade (Pamulak sa Kadayawan) was noticeable. About 64 participants joined the parade as compared to the 91 floats listed last year.
"Nigamay siya compared to last year, sa una mapuno ang mga kalsada, pero karon ma-notice nimo nigamay mga tawo." (It is smaller compared to last year, in the past the streets would be filled but now you will notice there were lesser people.) says Rommel Chua, a photography hobbyist who annually goes around the streets during Kadayawan to shoot the revelry.
Crowd estimates during the recent Indak-Indak sa Kadayawan is estimated to be at 20,000 people, officers of the Davao City Police Office said the crowd was about 30% lesser than last year.
A series of bombings in some Mindanao towns and cities contributed to the heightened fears. A week before the festivities, City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte mulled of plans to cancel the event because of the threats.
However during the Kadayawan opening last August 9 he formally announced pushing through the festival but with added security regulations such as the banning of backpacks and parking of vehicles along the parade route.
There were no untoward terrorist incidents which were reported in the city during the Kadayawan weekend. Marques attributed the peaceful celebration to the efforts of the security forces and the vigilance of the citizenry.
The photographer Chua says that many Dabawenyo photographers followed the strict rule of not bringing bags to the festivities. "Nagadala ko sa una ug bag kay didto nako ginabutang akong mga lens pero gibawal man so isa ka lens akong gidala. nagtry ko ug adjust. kay para man ni sa atong safety (I used to bring a bag because I put my lenses in there but because of the ban, I only brought one lens, I tried to adjust because this is for our safety.) Chua said.
Kadayawan is one of the most photographed festival in the country. According to the City Information Office they ran out of the 500 hobbyist stickers printed and issued for the event.
Apart from security threats, the lower turn-out can also be explained from the transition of new city hall officials following the change of city leadership. Mayor Rodrigo Duterte took office from then incumbent Mayor Sara Duterte in July.Marques says this meant lesser time to prepare for K adayawan.

Welcome from the PTO 2016-17 Officers!
Dear New Hope Academy Parents, Teachers and Faculty,
The New Hope family is a close-knit community with exceptional teachers, a supportive staff, and encouraging parents. Ergo, the PTO's motto: Team work makes the dream work!
The NHA Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) committee is very excited about the upcoming school year. Our objective is to strengthen the PTO program through parent and teacher participation, increased student involvement, and supporting NHA activities and programs. With your help, we can meet these objectives. Each of us serving on the Executive Committee are volunteers, and our PTO can only be successful with the support of other committed parents, teachers, and students. We all have busy work and family lives, but we encourage each of you, to volunteer whatever time you have available to contribute to the wonderful community we have built here.
Each NHA family is assessed a $50 fee to help fund the PTO, so you are already a member and we thank you. We have an excited year planned and we hope to see you and hear from you on how we best support our children, our teachers, and our administrators.
We look forward to working with each of you, and again, welcome (and welcome back) to what will be an exciting and successful school year!
New Hope Academy PTO 2016-17 (Lacey, Nwadimma, Aneesha, Michelle, and Demiko)
Prospective students and parents
Are you a student or a parent considering coming to New Hope Academy's Elementary or Middle School, our pre-school, or New Hope International High School? We encourage those interested in considering the New Hope family to visit our school's main website to see some of the things we do to enhance the learning experience of our students.
Get involved! Contact one of the officers, take a cruise through the PTO Today website, or just show up at one of our PTO meetings in the Multi-Purpose Room from 6:15 to 8pm. Pizza and babysitting provided (donations accepted to help defray PTO costs). We hold meetings every month from October - May (except for December).
The 2016-17 PTO Board thanks you for your support this year and is proposing new strategies to increase parent involvement. See the new Family Involvement Pledge that is included in the 2017-18 enrollment forms. See both the Year in Review Report and the Family Involvement Pledge on our PTO Bylaws and Key Documents page!
The 2017-18 board has been elected and will continue this work. Look forward to hearing from them later this summer so you know what's on tap in the new school year!
The PTO values your ideas, input, and solutions. Please feel free to send an email to pto@newhopeacademy.org to let us know your thoughts.
Follow us on Twitter at @NewHopeA_PTO!!!


This was a gripping post that I couldn't stop reading, and I will be re-reading in the future. It's so true about the sci-fi industry and all industries in general that there is some BS once you start throwing in the 'business politics'. I had a similar thing happen to me, I worked for this company after high school, and had this idea that one day I could be a manager or VP, just by working hard. Well, long story short, they booted me for having a 'lack of enthusiasm', and left me with anxiety/depression.
Mind you, I did everything I was told to do, kept my nose clean, and tried to learn as much as I could about the business. Fast forward a few years later, the feeling of being booted from the position helped me to put effort and importance back into myself and other creatives.
I don't believe in the ideals and hopes and lies that were fed to me by the corporate world here in America. What I do believe in is God and myself. That's about it.
I'm glad this post resonated with you, and I am sorry that happened to you. It seems especially nowadays, jobs have all kinds of excuses for letting good people go. Which is why no one puts a lot of stock in corporate loyalty anymore.
I personally feel like america has really good propaganda and pr, but the reality is far from it.
FLOORED. I just finished my BFA in film production, and the focus of my program was mostly for independent filmmakers with a direction more towards studying films overseas so I've never had a prof with an attitude like that. I do, however, see it in some films I've been asked to read the scripts for in critique, and it's my major goal to always be brunt and educating in my feedback to those people. This is a really really important post not just for filmmakers but people around the world!
I'm glad you haven't experienced anything like this! Unfortunetly because the school I went to is closely connected to the industry, stuff like this wasn't uncommon. Its just that no one talks about it.
This is such a great post! I enjoyed reading your thoughts on this subject – thanks for sharing!
I agree with you about diversity. It is unfortunate that there are still people out there who are jerks just because you're from a different background. You're definitely better off somewhere else. I work in a male-dominated field but never let anyone step over me. I am quick to clap back hard.
I'm glad you stand up for yourself! Sorry I'm seeing this so late!

How Danielle Bregoli ('Cash Me Outside' Girl) Achieved a Net Worth of $4 Million
With Danielle Bregoli's net worth reported to be in the region of $4 million, many people have wondered how the girl who jokingly threatened violence to the audience during her appearance on a Dr. Phil segment has been able to achieve unprecedented fame and fortune.
To freshen your memory if you have no idea who Bregoli is, she is a rapper and internet personality who goes by the stage name Bhad Bhabie. Anyone who pays attention to internet trends will be very well acquainted with the viral video meme that features a young girl who says the catchphrase, "Cash me outside, how about that". The person in the video is Bregoli and it was her use of that catchphrase and its subsequent popularity that helped launch her career. Read on to find out how exactly she was able to transition from being a meme to a millionaire.
Danielle Bregoli Net Worth – How The 'Cash Me Outside' Girl Achieved Fame and Fortune
As stated above, Danielle Bregoli's appearance on the Dr. Phil segment titled "I Want To Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried To Frame Me For A Crime" on the 14th of September 2016 was what gave rise to the launch of her career. The Boynton Beach, Florida native appeared alongside her mother Barbara Ann Bregoli who came on the show to discuss her daughter's behavior. The young girl was said to have been indulging in numerous delinquent acts, one of which occurred during the filming of the episode as she stole a crew member's car.
While answering questions from the show's host, people in the audience laughed at the way she was answering questions, which visibly irritated her. This led her to respond to them by saying the now-famous catchphrase, challenging them to a fight outside the studio. As things would later pan out, the clip of her using the catchphrase inspired a 2017 single that was recorded by DJ Suede The Remix God. The song proved to be quite successful as it entered the Billboard Hot 100, Streaming Songs, and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts and led to a series of YouTube dance videos.

In the following months, due to the popularity of the catchphrase, many companies attempted to use it, however, they were met with lawsuits from Danielle Bregoli and her mother for infringing on her intellectual property rights. Multinational retail corporation Walmart was also threatened with a lawsuit as it also used her catchphrase on its T-shirts.
Music manager Adam Kluger, who received backlash from industry insiders for his decision, went on to sign Danielle Bregoli in early 2017 as her net worth at the time had skyrocketed to $200 thousand. The Cash Me Outside girl went on to release her first single titled "These Heaux" on August 24, 2017. The song was well-received as it reached number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100, making the then-fourteen-year-old the youngest female rap artist to debut on the music chart.
By this time, music executives could no longer afford to not pay attention to her music as Atlantic Records went on to sign her to a multi-million album recording contract. Bhad Bhabie, as she was now being referred to, would go ahead to remix a few songs by popular musicians before releasing her now RIAA Gold-certified second single titled "Hi Bich" on September 22, 2017, which debuted at number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

To celebrate her 15th birthday, Danielle Bregoli released another single, "Gucci Flip Flops" on March 26, 2018. The song debuted on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart at number 80 after she had supported it with a video and went on a tour across North America and Europe with artist Asian Doll. Her efforts earned her a 2018 Billboard Music Award nomination for Best Female Rap Artist alongside heavyweights like Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.
Thanks to all she has since been able to achieve, releasing a mixtape titled 15 and featuring notable artists like Kodak Black and Ty Dolla Sign, Danielle Bregoli's net worth has become the envy of many people as she now hopes to have a long career that will put her among the greats when it is all said and done.

Q: Type casting into byte in Java I am a beginner in Java.  I came across a concept called Type Casting.
I have the following snippet-
    class Demo
    {
        byte b;
        int a=257;
        double d= 323.142
        b=(byte)a;
          System.out.println(b);
        b=(byte)d;
          System.out.println(b);

    }

The output for the code is 1
67
Can anybody explain me the outputs.
Thanks in Advance!

A: The byte type is encoded on 8 bits, so it takes its values between -128 and 127. In your case, casting by byte is the same as computing a modulo and rounding to an int. Try the following code, the output is the same:
int a = 257;
double d = 323.142;
System.out.println(a % 128);
System.out.println((int) d % 128);

A: In both cases you are doing a narrowing conversion, which may result in loss of information.

*

*Conversion of int to byte

you convert an int whose value is 257 (00000000 00000000 00000001 00000001 in binary) to a byte. Therefore, only the lowest (right) byte of the int is kept. Therefore the result is 00000001 in binary, which is 1.

*Conversion of double to byte

This conversion is more complicated.

*

*In the first step 323.142 is converted from double to int, so it becomes 323.

*The second step is the same as the first conversion :
323 is 00000000 00000000 00000001 01000011 in binary.
Converting 323 to byte keeps the lowest (right) byte, which gives you 67.
Here's what the JLS says about this conversion :

A narrowing conversion of a floating-point number to an integral type
  T takes two steps:

*

*In the first step, the floating-point number is converted either to a long, if T is long, or to an int, if T is byte, short, char, or
  int, as follows:

*

*If the floating-point number is NaN (§4.2.3), the result of the first step of the conversion is an int or long 0.

*Otherwise, if the floating-point number is not an infinity, the floating-point value is rounded to an integer value V, rounding
  toward zero using IEEE 754 round-toward-zero mode (§4.2.3). Then there
  are two cases:
a. If T is long, and this integer value can be represented as a long, then the result of the first step is the long value V.
b. Otherwise, if this integer value can be represented as an int, then the result of the first step is the int value V.

*Otherwise, one of the following two cases must be true:
a. The value must be too small (a negative value of large magnitude or negative infinity), and the result of the first step is
  the smallest representable value of type int or long.
b. The value must be too large (a positive value of large magnitude or positive infinity), and the result of the first step is
  the largest representable value of type int or long.

*In the second step:

*

*If T is int or long, the result of the conversion is the result of the first step.

*If T is byte, char, or short, the result of the conversion is the result of a narrowing conversion to type T (§5.1.3) of the result
  of the first step.

A: byte b;
int a=257;
double d= 323.142
b=(byte)a; // 257-256=1
  System.out.println(b); // now b is 1
b=(byte)d; // 323.142-256=67
  System.out.println(b); // now b is 67

byte data type is an 8-bit signed two's complement integer(This is important in second case, why 67.142 become 67). byte in Java is signed, so it has a range -2^7 to 2^7-1 - that is, -128 to 127. Since 257 is above 127, you end up wrapping around to 257-256=1. That is 256 is added or subtracted until it falls into range.Same scenario happen in the second case too.

A: Byte can store between the range of -128 to 127 which means 1 Byte (8 bit).
Binary value of 257 is 100000001 after converting to byte which means 8 bit (from LSB to MSB) which will get value of 00000001 which is nothing but 1. Here you are explicitly converting the type so data loss will take place while converting higher data type to lower data type. Similarly for the later one. Hope this will help you.

A: Hexadecimal representation of

*

*(257) = 0x101

*(323) = 0x143
byte stores only one byte of data and as you see the highlighted part in above hex representation:-
b = 0x01 = 1 for 257 and b = 0x43 = 67 for integer part of 323.14
Note:- In Java a double uses a 52 bit mantissa, hence we can represent a 32 bit integer without lost of data.

A: Because 257 = 100000001b
but when you cast it in byte you get only 8 bit of this number:
00000001b = 1
