I thought this article was great but when I got to the house where Joseph and Janie live on Liberty and Alaska my heart jumped with joy. That is the house I grew up in. My mommas Camilla bush was considerably smaller and her garden maybe not so big. The back deck with the railing was built by my dad and my brother and I. Have great memories of this house and yard. I had to mow the side lot. Do you know if the walnut trees are still there, or mommas roses? We hung many deer in the garage there as well. The trees that lined the fence were ones my sis and I got from school when they passed them out. The patio door to the back deck was windows until we tore them out and put in sliding door.
Met my first boyfriend at Three-Corner-park, aka triangle Park.
What fun to hear about your days here at 279 Liberty Street! Yes, your mother's Camellia is the most fantastic one I've ever seen. We look straight out on in it now from the bedroom window. I don't remember what roses were here when we bought the house from your folks… we have one that we call "Warren's Rose" because I stole it from Warren's yard (across Alaska Street) when his house went up for sale some years back. The back deck that you and your dad and brother built has been replaced (out of necessity) but I will always remember when we came to look at the house in 1991 – probably in September or so – your mother was sitting on the deck in a recliner reading a book, and I thought "oh, I could get used to that".
Thanks for that memory of my momma. Dad and I came by there before he died and just looked at the house. I don't believe you were home. He said he had visited you before that. He has been gone 4 years now.
I was wondering about the walnut trees. They were huge. Mommas roses were in the right front corner of the yard, she had several in there.
Funny you got Warrens rose. Sure loved growing up there and would love to come by sometime if I'm down that way. My sister lives in Medford so will get down sometime. Thanks again.
Well done, Peter! Enjoyed it.


Simple background, telephone wire in loops: the figure puts down the handset, mops his brow, drops of sweat splash—questioning and astonishment grow with the heat.
Wall and baseboard, heavy curtains, others sheer, windows onto night, white stars on black, reflections in black and white strokes: the figure opens the window, drops of sweat splash, merge with the stars—questioning.

Q: How does Top-K sort algorithm work in MongoDB Based on the answer and from MongoDB Documentation, I understood that MongoDB is able to sort a large data set and provide sorted results when limit() is used.
However, when the same data set is queried using sort() results into a memory exception.
From the second answer in the above post, poster mentions that whole collection is scanned, sorted and top N results are returned. I would like to know how the collection is sorted when I use limit().
From document I found that when limit() is used it does Top-K sort, however there is not much explanation available about it anywhere. I would like to see any references about Top-K Sort algorithm.

A: In general, you can do an efficient top-K sort with a min-heap of size K. The min-heap represents the largest K elements seen so far in the data set. It also gives you constant-time access to the smallest element of those top K elements.
As you scan over the data set, if a given element is larger than the smallest element in the min-heap (i.e. the smallest of the largest top K so far), you replace the smallest from the min-heap with that element and re-heapify (O(lg K)).
At the end, you're left with the top K elements of the entire data set, without having had to sort them all (worst-case running time is O(N lg K)), using only Θ(K) memory.
I actually learnt this in school for a change :-)

Remembering a Visit to Milan's Duomo - JP loves LIFE!
A couple of years ago, friends and I toured Italy together. Our trip ended in Milan and I was reminded of the spectacular duomo (cathedral) there yesterday. I thought the view of it, especially some of the ones taken on the roof may leave you wordless.
I am so glad that you had the fun experience of duomo. Milan is spectacular. Your pictures are fantastic!!!! Thank you so much for sharing.
That was the view I was dreaming of when I arrived for a whirlwind 24 hours in Milan. When I turned the corner into the plaza where the duomo sits, that was … scaffolding! The entire front of the cathedral was covered. Since scaffolding had followed me around Europe, so it shouldn't have surprised me. But it was disappointing. As I was laying on the roof, looking at that spectacular view, it all became okay.
I turned that corner … and there was scaffolding. I just laughed.
Amazing architecture! I hope to travel to Italy someday. I went to Germany and France several years ago and was astounded by the churches and castles there.
Everywhere has its own unique architecture to be in awe of…. This was particularly splendid!


Growing up in England, I was anti the Ibiza hype. I could just picture a bunch of annoying Brits abroad, giving themselves a free pass to act like a tramp, a hooligan and (very) loose for a week of debauchery in the sun. I had every intention of forever boycotting the place out of superiority. Had.
In the middle of an English summer, I was sat at my desk in London feeling sorry for myself that I hadn't got a summer holiday booked. I was stalking my friends on Facebook, who all seemed to be off somewhere on the Meditteranean (or somewhere even more exotic), with sun-kissed skin and happy hour cocktails in hand. Green with envy, a friend of mine text me from Ibiza encouraging me to drop everything I was doing and join him and his friends in San Antonio Bay. I didn't have to be told twice. Straight online, I booked the flight, packed a small rucksack, and before I knew it I was in a cab to San Antonio Bay from the airport.
I was only in Ibiza for 5 days, and to be honest, it felt more like 12 hours with the amount of memory I have left from my time there. I got sucked into my worst fear; I became one of those mortifyingly embarrassingly drunk Brits who heads to a beautiful island for the sole purpose of dancing all day and night, and drinking my body weight in alcohol so that I wouldn't have any memory of it!
2) The monstrously overpriced alcohol, soft drinks, and even bottled water!
That said, as the days went on, we had so much fun that – like we were at a week-long EDM festival in the sun – my Ibiza-boundaries slowly crumbled and I fully embraced the experience in all it's glory. From sunbathing at the beach with a terrible hangover, to daytime clubbing at the local Zoo (yes, Zoo), to bar crawling the West End, and hitting up the epic Club scene, there is really no denying that if you like dance music, and the sun, you absolutely have to make at least one trip to Ibiza in your lifetime! This is definitely one for the Bucketlist!!

Xinquan Wang and Linqi Zhang groups revealed the structural basis for the cell entry of the 2019 novel coronavirus
On March 30, 2020, a research paper entitled "Structure of the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain bound to the ACE2 receptor" was published online in Nature as "Accelerated Article Preview" by the groups of Prof. Xinquan Wang at the School of Life Sciences and Prof. Linqi Zhang at the School of Medicine, Tsinghua University. This study reported the crystal structure of the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) in complex with the human cell receptor ACE2 at a resolution of 2.45 angstrom. By precisely elucidating the interactions between RBD and ACE2, this study revealed the structural basis for the recognition of SARS-CoV-2 by ACE2 and provided important structural knowledge for the development of antibodies and vaccines against the COVID-19 pandemic.
To help the research on the SARS-CoV-2 and anti-virus drug discovery, the paper has been deposited into the preprint server BioRxiv on February 20, 2020. The coordinates of the crystal structure were also available for download before the official release of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) on the website of the Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Structural Biology (http://www.icsb.tsinghua.edu.cn).
Crystal structure of the SARS-CoV-2 RBD (core+RBM) bound to the ACE2 receptor and the density map at the binding interface
To better understand the initial step of SARS-CoV-2 infection at atomic-level, the Wang and Zhang groups expressed and purified the SARS-CoV-2 RBD and human ACE2 in insect cells, crystallized the complex, and collected the diffraction dataset on the BL17U1 beamline at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). The overall ACE2-binding mode of the SARS-CoV-2 RBD is nearly identical to that of the SARS-CoV RBD, which also utilizes ACE2 as the cell receptor. Structural analysis identified residues in the SARS-CoV-2 RBD critical for ACE2 binding, and majority of which are either highly conserved or shared similar side chain properties with those in the SARS-CoV RBD. Such similarity in structure and sequence strongly argue for a convergent evolution between SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV RBDs for improved binding to ACE2, although SARS-CoV-2 does not cluster within SARS and SARS-related coronaviruses. The epitopes of two SARS-CoV antibodies targeting the RBD are also analyzed with the SARS-CoV-2 RBD, providing insights into future identification of cross-reactive antibodies.
Ph.D. student Jun Lan, postdoc Jiwan Ge, PhD student Jinfang Yu from the School of Life Sciences and PhD student Sisi Shan from the School of Medicine are the co-first authors of the study. Dr. Shilong Fan from the Tsinghua University Technology Center for Protein Sciences, Drs Huan Zhou and Qisheng Wang from the SSRF, Drs. Xuanling Shi and Qi Zhang also contribute to the study. Professors Xinquan Wang and Linqi Zhang are the corresponding authors of the study. This study is supported by Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Structural Biology, Beijing Frontier Research Center for Biological Structure, MOE Key Laboratory of Protein Science, and the National Key Plan for Scientific Research and Development of China.

We've all known the pain of a mammoth toothache but perhaps not quite as much as Lucha the elephant. Keepers at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire were concerned when Lucha stopped eating properly before deciding it was time for a visit from the dentist.
Capturing the whole procedure on camera, Dr. Peter Kertesz, who's more used to asking people to say "ah", removed a colossal troubling tooth from this very grateful giant.
As for the procedure, well, if you think your dentist's drills are scary, check out this guy's. The easily squeamish should look away now.
Don't worry though, Lucha was fast asleep throughout the entire process. And the result? Well, how do we all feel after a trip to the dentist? Happy, hungry and hopeful that it'll be a long while before she sees that drill again.
Difficult words: mammoth (this is a joke – this means very big and it means an ancient type of elephant), procedure (an operation), colossal (very big), resolve (to break apart), squeamish (easily made sick), coronal (relating to the crown of the tooth – one part of the tooth), fast asleep (hard to wake up).


A southwest Ohio man is working to get faith-based TV into Ohio's prisons.
Jerry Yingling's son was convicted of sexual battery and sentenced to a year in prison in December and was granted early release in August. Yingling's son watched the Trinity Broadcasting Network on a TV his dad bought him. Yingling visited his son and was taken back by the the other inmates' vulnerability and "how much of a need there is to see the saving grace of Jesus Christ," he said.
Now he's trying to get Ohio prison officials to sign up for Trinity Broadcasting Network's new program, Second Chance. TBN is offering four faith-based channels to correction and rehabilitation facilities at no cost, as long as they can support the technology.
Network programming includes religious teaching programs, Christian music videos and televised church services.
The month-old project aims to help rehabilitate inmates through Christian TV.

On Cancel Culture and Ex-NYT Editor Lauren Wolfe, Who Needs Some Cheese for that Whine
By Jennifer Oliver O'Connell | 6:30 PM on January 24, 2021
AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews, File
Former New York Times Editor Lauren Wolfe is the latest person on the Left who is being swept up in an environment which they either ignored, enabled or allowed to be created, as long as it was used against people, speech and thought that they did not agree with.
Like most journalists, Wolfe expressed herself on Twitter, and many chose to disagree with it. Subsequently, The New York Times chose to rescind their contract with Wolfe.
"The New York Times reportedly canceled an editor's contract after she tweeted that she had 'chills' watching Joe Biden land at Joint Base Andrews the day before the inauguration and slammed Trump for not sending him a government plane.
"Lauren Wolfe tweeted on Tuesday: 'Biden landing at Joint Base Andrews now. I have chills.
" 'The pettiness of the Trump admin not sending a military plane to bring him to D.C. as is tradition is mortifying.
" 'Childish,' she wrote.
"HuffPost contributor Yashar Ali tweeted later that he had been told by two sources Wolfe had her contract ended over it."
Wolfe is not only unhappy about it, but a tad bitter. Her fellow travelers have also taken to Twitter to defend her and blame the usual suspects: fascists, right-wingers, "Trumpkins", and Leftist journalist Glenn Greenwald of all people.
This is insane. @nypost stalked a journalist taking a walk with her dog and @DailyMail wrote a whole story about her tweeting that she had chills watching Biden about to be inaugurated. Because apparently Glenn Greenwald and right-wing trolls set the policy at @nytimes. Shameful. pic.twitter.com/HWJds9jY6O
— Sulome (@SulomeAnderson) January 23, 2021
"Josh Shahryar (they/them) #BLM" should learn that you don't help someone's case by name-calling and attacking people who had nothing to do with Wolfe's situation, and whom you know nothing about.
This is the most important thing I've ever written.
My friend and family Lauren @Wolfe321 was just fired by the @NYTimes after the NYT was pressured by fascists, Trumpkins and hypocrites on the right for tweeting she had "chills" after witnessing Biden's landing on the 20th. pic.twitter.com/YyWt0PubdR
— Josh Shahryar (they/them) #BLM (@JShahryar) January 23, 2021
A response from Jarl Blitzen brings it into focus. This type of attack and cancellation has been happening to conservatives for years. What makes Lauren Wolfe so special?
How many conservative voices have been fired, for being conservative? Many. She is no different than they are, fired for voicing and opinion. They had families too, did you write a piece about how they shouldnt have been fired as well?
— Jarl Blitzen (@JarlBlitzen) January 24, 2021
Wolfe has been critical of the concept of Cancel Culture for a while, and she even decries the talk of it to describe her situation.
I have it on good authority that cancel culture isn't "actually anything." pic.twitter.com/2m0nxcCXXk
— Shell Shock 19 – Reclaiming My Tweet (@TBShellShock) January 24, 2021
Hard to fathom all the talk of "cancel culture" on my timeline while I'm left without an income during a pandemic. I'm not an ideology, I'm a hard-working person who can no longer pay her bills. @SulomeAnderson @yashar @michaeldweiss
— Lauren Wolfe (@Wolfe321) January 23, 2021
Maybe it's age; maybe its the knowledge of all the so-called journalists who continue to perpetrate disinformation and lies to protect their turf and narrative, but I have zero sympathy for Lauren Wolfe's supposed cancellation.
Apparently, I'm not alone.
Welcome to real life, some of us have been this way since last February.

People lose jobs all the time, some for legitimate reasons, some because at-will employment is a thing, and companies exercise it all the time.
I lost a job because I made a racial euphemism (not even a slur) over email. I was joking with a Hispanic coworker about a particular issue involving a name change, and instead of hitting "Reply", I hit "Reply All", which launched it to many other parties involved in the particular work being done. The comment wasn't directed at anyone in particular, but my employer didn't appreciate it (or my stupidity, to be honest), so I was fired.
I took my lumps, and found other work in the same industry, and learned my lesson NOT to joke over company email for any reason.
In early 2020, because of this pandemic and the shutdown of industries, I lost a steady Yoga gig that helped to support my family. It wasn't my fault; the company chose to do what it did, and I had no say in it.
Sudden loss is never fair, but it is a part of life. It's even worse when the loss is the result of manufactured circumstances. Many conservatives have been decrying this for a while now, yet people like Wolfe and her ilk have been insulated from it because they worked for publications like the New York Times and had the "right" pronouns on their Twitter profile.
These were your rules. Conservatives never liked those rules. @ggreenwald is not a conservative, Trumpist, fascist, etc.
— Steven Groves (@stevegroves) January 24, 2021
Not so insulated anymore, are you? Been cast down and treated like the rest of the plebes, have we?
There are 11,000 people who, thanks to the capricious virtue signaling of the President who gave her "chills", have lost their work on the Keystone XL Pipeline. How many of them are not able to pay their rent or mortgages now? How many of them will not be able to pay for care for their sick animals or sick children who are reliant upon them?
As an "award winning journalist and photographer", who has had many media appearances, Wolfe should not be lacking in offers right now. And does she not have savings? Most Americans have emptied theirs thanks to this pandemic.
Probably what infuriates me most is her website biography, which another staunch defender encourages us to read, to understand that she will not be intimidated by "fascists":
"I'm an award-winning journalist who has written for publications from The Atlantic to The New York Times. I'm formerly a columnist at Foreign Policy magazine, director of WMC Women Under Siege—a journalism project on sexualized violence in conflict originated by Gloria Steinem at the Women's Media Center—and senior editor at the Committee to Protect Journalists. Last, but hopefully not least, the UK's Daily Telegraph named me "an awesome woman you need in your life on Twitter," so I hope to live up to that at @Wolfe321."
Wolfe has a pedigree, connections, and the feminist credentials to do anything she wants in her chosen world, even in this pandemic age. What Wolfe does and her particular point of view are not lacking the people and companies who will pay for it, and probably pay handsomely. Instead, Wolfe chooses to be rooted in victimhood, and lash out at a journalist colleague for doing… her job.
I have had hit pieces done on me, and Jennifer Smith's Daily Mail article (referenced at the beginning) was anything but. If anything, it was an indictment on the fawning media culture that fellates and coddles an administration that they did their best to secure and usher in at the expense of all else.
As the former editor who helped enable a publication that spewed out a ridiculous level of sewage, from Russia! Russia! Russia! to fraudulently obtained tax returns, Wolfe is in no place to judge anyone on their level of journalism.
I'm confused: you call her out for insulting you but then turn around and insult her. That's hypocrisy.
I feel there is more to the story about you getting fired. There is absolutely NO way they would fire you for such a benign tweet.
I think you are being disingenuous.
— Matt Flood (@Real_Matt_Flood) January 24, 2021
it's hard to feel that bad for someone who had actively rooted for the mas shaming and canceling of others for less/same. and for someone who has actively pushed stricter lockdowns that hurt people who can't work from home (aka you before this happened)
— Keagan Anders (@Keaganizer) January 24, 2021
There's a lot of people in this boat. Some of them are also victims of cancel culture. Others are victims of authoritarian governors who think they know better and another group is victims of the government destroying their jobs for policy goals.
— commonsense (@commonsense258) January 24, 2021
Wolfe has since deleted certain tweets, so she's either been intimidated or is trying to hide.
Like the pipeliners, you should just get a new job.
— Rolls Royce of Midland (parity) (@royce_of) January 24, 2021
Here's my recommendation for Wolfe. Use your savings and the GoFundMe your friends have mounted to pay your rent and take care of your dog. Once he has transitioned (and they do, sadly, they don't live as long as we'd like), get off your fanny, rent an RV, rent out your expensive, New York City residence and travel across the country to write some real stories. Find those employees who were stripped from their jobs in a nanosecond by Joe Biden's pen. Find the business owners across America whose government decided they weren't essential and couldn't stay open, not based on any science, but because they wanted to kill small business and get cheap real estate. Find the children who have been trafficked because of illegal influx and cartel syndicates that this new administration is now giving carte blanche to overrun our country.
There are stories out there that legacy media cares little about. If you want to continue to live up to what your bio says, "improving the world", why not let the world hear about these marginalized and forgotten people?
Or do you just need some cheese to go along with your whine?

Home Article The dust settles over Fontana
The dust settles over Fontana
The dust settles over Fontana Eric Griffin, Jon Sargent, Morgan Hertel weigh in on effects of legal battle
By Daniel Gelinas
Updated Thu September 23, 2010
FONTANA, Calif.—Industry experts say there are important lessons to take away from the settlement announced Sept. 6 between Fontana, Calif., "the city with the toughest false alarm ordinance in the country," and the Inland Empire Alarm Association.
Eric Griffin, Jon Sargent and Morgan Hertel identified three lessons in particular for the security industry: Enhanced Call Verification is here to stay; expect closer scrutiny of alarm ordinances nationwide; and industry/municipality cooperation is the best policy.
Fontana agreed to make amends to the security industry through a new ordinance, and payment of legal expenses totaling $173,284 concluding round two of a two-year-long court battle. The San Bernardino Superior Court in March 2010 found some of the key provisions of the city's 2008 ordinance unconstitutional, and the parties involved have since been sitting around the negotiating table, hammering out the settlement and a new working relationship.
Security industry attorney and consultant Eric Griffin, formerly with Protection One, worked on the litigation on behalf of the IEAA, of which Protection One was a part. "We just need to swallow hard and realize that the enhanced verification demands municipalities are imposing are here to stay. Yes, we do have to make sure they're fair, but it has to be a cooperative thing," Griffin said. "The salient issue is where the industry as a whole decides to go with this. We're a very fragmented industry."
CAA past president and law enforcement liaison for SIAC Jon Sargent said other state alarm associations may begin combing through their ordinances. "It's a pretty remarkable thing to have in writing that the ordinance here was unconstitutional and violated due process," Sargent said. "I would think this is going to shake up everything."
"There's a couple things of key interest to the industry that came out of this. In Fontana's ordinance, the industry was receiving the fines for false alarms. And that's been one of our bones of contention. That's now gone back to the end user where it belongs, and that's a good thing from a precedent standpoint," said IEAA president Morgan Hertel who is director of operations at Mace CSSS. "The other thing that came out of this is that the new chief that's here, he's a pretty pragmatic guy, and he's been good about sitting down with us and working with us. It's turned from a very vengeful relationship to a very healthy working relationship."
Sargent also said that the actual amount of money the city has spent on the legal battle with the IEAA is much more than this most recent settlement. "We've been through two lawsuits with them. We started back in August of 2007. That was after they put a very restrictive verified response police in place. So far they've had to pay more than $357,000 in lawyers' fees to the association. That doesn't include their own legal expenses. The first lawsuit in 2008, they paid over $184,000. And now there's the $173,000," Sargent said. "The message I really want to convey is that it's so much better when we all just sit down at a table and get to what we all need � We can reduce false dispatch by as much as 70 or 80 percent. We've shown that time and again. Let's go back to what has worked in other municipalities."
The IEAA has contended that the fines in question—levied since 2008 under the assumption that the associated dispatches were false—were unjust since there was no way to prove an emergency situation did not exist when the alarm was originally tripped and dispatched. Police had made a policy of fining for a false alarm if no hard proof of a crime existed when responding officers arrived.
Fontana adopted its fine structure and verified response policy in 2008. While published reports claim the initiative cut the city's false alarm problem by as much as 78 percent, the city's ordinance is now under review and due for revision in the coming weeks. This final settlement and the cooperative working relationship between municipality and industry was announced in a joint press release Sept. 6.
City officials were hopeful of a fruitful working relationship going forward. "The new ordinance will allow the police department to deploy our officers in the best manner possible, including responding to burglar alarms verified by the alarm companies," FPD Chief Rodney Jones said in the joint release. "We are glad to put the litigation behind us and intend to work cooperatively with the alarm companies to reduce time spent responding to false alarms to better protect and serve the people of Fontana."

'Call, text or message me': Delhi Township trustee giving half his salary to constituents
Krystal Nurse
A Delhi Township trustee is giving half his paycheck back to constituents. The only requirement is that they ask.
TyJuan Thirdgill posted Tuesday in the private Facebook group Holt Pride Community Wide that he will give away $200 every two weeks — just under half his $11,511 salary — to Delhi residents in need. Trustees are part-time employees of the township.
Thirdgill has already given away $300 to constituents, he wrote. He plans to begin the regular payments June 12.
"If you want access to the funds simply call or text...or message me on Facebook," wrote Thirdgill. "You don't need to be a Democrat or [to] have voted for me...I just want to help those who might be in need."
The Michigan Secretary of State's office said there is no election law prohibiting Thirdgill's donations to constituents.
Thirdgill, a second-year student at Michigan State University and the township's first Black trustee, ran to give "fresh voice" to Delhi's seven-member board. Earlier this year, he also offered to pay for constituents' rides to COVID-19 vaccine clinics.
Thirdgill had the idea to issue direct cash payments to residents after the coronavirus pandemic exposed gaps in federal and state support programs. Despite increased access to vaccinations, many are still one emergency away from losing everything, he said.
"(It could be a) need for gas to and from a job or being a bit short on rent," Thirdgill said. "It's sort of a catch-up on bills or emergency use for inflatable beds and whatnot."
Thirdgill dialed in on the $200 number after calculating the bare minimum required for his own financial needs.
"Could I use this money? Yes. (But) this money is (my constituents') money, and they pay it in their taxes," he said. "This is my way of giving it back to them."
All of the money Thirdgill gives away will come directly from his paycheck as a Delhi Township trustee, he said. He doesn't intend for the payments to be life-changing, but rather a means of getting by. Some weeks, he'll break up the $200 between multiple requests.
So far, five residents have reached out to Thirdgill. He recently set up a Google form to make the application process easier.
"I promised in the post that (residents) will never see this in a political ad or as a way to vote," Thirdgill said. "I want to restore people's faith in political servants. There are people who you voted for who are there to serve the community in the best way possible."
Thirdgill hopes to keep the program up "for as long as I am in public office," and would like to see his fellow trustees contribute to the fund as well.

LNP Media launches The Caucus to cover state government 4/18/17
By Sean Stroh, Editor & Publisher
When members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly returned to Harrisburg in January, a brand new print publication was waiting for them on their desks.
The first edition of The Caucus investigated why state employees who have been convicted of serious crimes, including homicide, are still collecting their pensions.
The Caucus, a weekly newspaper published by LNP Media Group, was formally launched on Jan. 3 to act as a watchdog of the state's government through longform investigative reporting and analysis.
Mentoring relationship works both ways 10/18/16

America's Newspapers – the association formed from the merger of the Inland Press Association and Southern Newspaper Publishers Association – was ceremonially launched October 6 at its inaugural annual meeting in Chicago.
Dean Ridings will be its chief executive officer, effective Nov. 11.
America's Newspapers unites two of the oldest press associations to form one of the industry's largest advocates for newspapers and the many benefits to their communities, civil life, freedom of expression and democracy.
"Newspaper journalism provides a voice for the voiceless, challenges elected officials, shines a light on government, calls for change when change is needed, and exposes corruption and injustice," said Chris Reen, the president and publisher of The Gazette in Colorado Springs who will serve as the first president of America's Newspapers.
SNPA eBulletin 10.01.19
New association launches today;
SNPA-Inland merger is complete
A new association formed by the consolidation of SNPA and the Inland Press Association was officially launched today. The name of the new association will be announced on Oct. 6 at the association's first annual meeting in Chicago.
Edward VanHorn, SNPA's executive director, said that the merger unites two of the country's oldest press associations into a progressive new organization that will use its bigger and more powerful voice to be an unapologetic advocate for newspapers.

As a premier disciple of world-renowned maestro Pandit Shankar Ghosh, Arup established himself as a top- notch accompanist as well as a formidable soloist. Arup's performance is admired for its tonal quality, crystal clear bols, and spontaneous sense of rhythm and melody. Arup began learning tabla at age six from his father, the eminent tabla player Shri Pankaj Chattopadhyay. He then came under the tutelage of Pt. Shankar Ghosh with whom he continues to train. Having achieved grade-A status as an artist, Arup's performances are broadcast on Radio and TV throughout India. Arup accompanied many of the leading musicians of India such as Pt.

THE LADY WITH ALL THE ANSWERS
by David Rambo
Directed by Sabian Trout
Lesley Abrams
For decades, newspaper columnist Ann Landers dispensed wit and wisdom to millions of Americans in need of advice. In THE LADY WITH ALL THE ANSWERS, Landers finds herself writing a column about a new kind of heartbreak-- her own. Drawn from Landers' life and letters, this show is a touching and comic portrait of a wise, funny, no-nonsense woman who is one of the most influential figures in America. Through her sometimes controversial opinions, she shaped the way Americans viewed everything from war and politics; marriage, divorce and sexuality, to the proper way to hang a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom.
Presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

The First Annual New One Act Play Festival, July 8-17, 2016 at The Community Playhouse
From: S B [mailto:srs1113@live.com]

Subject: Coming Soon
Three Winning Scripts, Three Winning Playwrights, Three World Premieres
Nine Reasons To Support The Arts Locally
Tucson, AZ: The Community Players, Tucson's premier community theatre company, announced the 3 winners in their First Annual New One Act Play Festival several weeks ago. Since then, preparations have been underway for the world premieres of these never before published, never produced, one act plays written by Arizona playwrights. The three winning playwrights just happen to all be from Tucson. Vince Flynn, Leslie Powell and Gavin Kayner were the three playwrights whose work rose to the top of all the submissions received by The Community Players during the submission period. The plays were then scored on four criteria; plot, character development, dialogue and overall writing quality. The panel of independent judges had a tough job when everything was said and done. "The level of quality writing and expertise in their craft was evident to the judges from the first submission to the last," said Scott Berg, board president for TCP, "It wasn't until the lasts score sheet had been tallied that we could make the announcement of the winners with confidence," added Bobbi Whitson, board vice president. Berg cited the lack of opportunities for local playwrights to even get the chance to have their work read, let alone produced and given a spot in a theatre companies season line up, were the driving force behind developing this contest. "After all," said Berg, "if it weren't for the playwrights, the theatre would be a completely different animal."
Berg is hopeful that the efforts of The Community Players will act as a catalyst to affect some change in the Tucson community. "It has always seemed odd to me, that in a community where there is such a strong emphasis on "buying local, eating local, supporting local", the same consideration is not offered as readily to the theatre community," Berg states. "Oh sure, people go to see theatre in Tucson, especially when the playwright is someone like Simon, or Rogers and Hammerstein, or Williams, but when you say it's a local playwright, you can see people pull back, stutter a bit and start making excuses." Berg makes the point, that although these writers live here, many of them enter play writing competitions all over the country, and many of them have won those competitions or awards for their writing. Many of the local playwrights have had their plays published and produced by theatre companies around the country. They just haven't made it to heavy weight status as of yet. Berg offers this bit of food for thought, "Mark my words, one day, in the not so distant future, you are going to see a headline like this, "Local Playwright Takes Broadway By Storm". And then all of those people who poo-pooed the fact that it was a local writer are going to be complaining that they missed seeing that "new show on Broadway" for just $10. It's like I keep telling people, at one point, even Shakespeare was "just a local writer"."
The First Annual New One Act Play Festival is running July 8-17, 2016 at The Community Playhouse, the home of The Community Players, 1881 N. Oracle Rd., Tucson, 85705. For reservations please call 520-887-6239. The audience will get to see all three one act plays in an evening. For those interested, an informal meet and greet will take place after each of the Saturday night performances. Drinks and finger foods will be served so everyone is encouraged and welcome to stay and meet the playwrights, the cast and enjoy the wonderful theatre space with your friends. The Community Players is dedicated to bringing theatre and the arts to the community whether it be by sponsoring a contest for local playwrights or by holding open auditions for almost every production to allowing other theatre companies to utilize their space which helps bring more of the arts to the community. TCP is a registered 501c3 with the State of Arizona whose main source of funding is through ticket sales, an occasional grant and private donations. In an effort to make theatre affordable to the community as a whole, the TCP board voted 2 years ago to lower their ticket price to $10 per seat, per show. Submissions for The Second Annual New One Act Play Festival are currently being accepted. Please go to www.communityplayerstucson.org for a complete set of rules and submission instructions.
"Please support theatre arts in our community", concludes Berg, "starting with the most important people when it comes right down to it. The people who have the imagination to think it up, the organization skills to make it into a story, the technical know how to write it down and the desire to entertain with it."

Four actresses, twenty-two to fifty years old, please see diversity statement below.

Lilly, an actor, very intellectual but extremely enthusiastic about ideas in repose
"This will be amazing. So many ideas. So many metaphors.Have you thought of Quixote as a woman? And hey, I'm not getting naked. In the movie or with you."
Thalia, a writer, very down to earth and would hate that cliche.
"How we tell stories is important, Jonah. Stories are our ghost. When we're gone. We're just our stories left hanging in the air."
Cora, an artist and filmmaker, deeply committed to social justice
"Let's get a drink. I'd love to hear about your movie as long as no one says anything about politics, or women, or Syria or Orlando or anything. I can't take another second of heartbreak."

Jonah Kleinman is making a new film based loosely on Don Quixote and seeks the advice of four talented and very different women.
About Strada and Diversity
Strada Company welcomes and encourages participation by everyone. Our community is based on mutual respect, tolerance, and encouragement, and we are working to help each other live up to these principles. We want our community to be more diverse: whoever you are, and whatever your background, we welcome you.
We have created this diversity statement because we believe that a diverse arts community is stronger and more vibrant. A diverse culture where people treat each other with respect has more potential contributors and more sources for ideas. It is, in short, a better world.
Although we have phrased the formal diversity statement generically to make it all-inclusive, we recognize that there are specific attributes that are used to discriminate against people. In alphabetical order, some of these attributes include (but are not limited to): age, culture, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical or mental difference, politics, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and subculture. We welcome people regardless of the values of these or other attributes.
As diversity can often be passive, Strada Company seeks to engage, exhort, enjoin, and empower the wide and amazing array of human-created performance. Our diversity statement is not merely a policy; it is what we are.
Strada Company creates and supports art in a variety of communities and for a myriad of reasons. We are open to all.

The new spotlight on the Rogue facade!
Dear Rogues,
At 10 o'clock every night for the last three weeks, I've been driving home from rehearsal with a wide smile on my face.
You see, we're working on this summer's production of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, The Jelly Bean, from
his collection of stories, Tales of the Jazz Age.
The story is beautiful and Fitzgerald's prose is strong and sweet.
But the real joy has been working with the artists and dancers of Artifact Dance Project, our summer collaborators. They are incredibly energetic and creative and so much fun.
Oh, Rogues, we're creating something really special for you! We're telling Fitzgerald's story through a combination of dance, music, and story that's unlike anything we've done before.
Rogue regulars Matt Bowdren, Holly Griffith, Christopher Johnson, and Joe McGrath are in the show, but this time, they're all dancing as well as acting. And Artifact Co-founder Claire Hancock is acting as well as dancing. Five other terrific dancers from Artifact make up the cast, with choreography by the brilliant Ashley Bowman. Add Mary Turcotte's beautiful score for piano and reed instruments featuring reed specialist Derek Granger, and we have a real Jazz Age festival!
Is it any wonder I'm smiling?
Cynthia Meier
P.S. Tickets are going quickly, so jump on in and get yours now!
Directed by Cynthia Meier
with Choreography by Ashley Bowman
and Music by Mary Turcotte
Romance and disillusion in the atmosphere of a 1920s dance.
Jim Powell is a listless lad, a "Jelly Bean."
His diffused potential brings him to a party one night
where he is entranced by a beautiful gambling woman.

We're waiting for you to finish getting ready. The moss is a delicate green fur on fallen logs and rocks, I say to myself. Anatole isn't a truthful person. Piete is a hairdresser. Let's go see them now. Tracey is a fast speaker. Norm has a nice face. Under the epistemology of your dream, you clearly see me. I presume you are aware of the difficulties. The paintings are worth a lot.
I went to see Andries, but he wasn't there. This book is popular with students. They have branches all over the world, from Calcutta to New York City. Both words can be used according to the preference of the user. He can run a hundred meters in twelve seconds. The city was completely deserted. Do you have any idea what might happen? This is an example of the progress that we're making. She is getting breakfast ready. I'd like a daiquiri.
I'd do almost anything. I was in the hospital last week. What do you have in mind? Don't say anything unless someone asks you a question. She is about to die. His wealth has not made him happy. Annie doesn't trust anyone. In the Redwall universe, stoats are one of the villain species. I wanted to believe Hilda was lying. Ninja asked Tai what kind of music she liked.
I looked around and noticed that it was the only car on the road. What exactly do you do here? Sjouke looked at it more closely. Who were the other suspects? Parrots are very smart birds. The other children laughed. It's a very decorative plant. Turkey is closing all the check-points of its border with Syria. Uri can't stop. We're going to try again.
Why should I give them money? I don't trust businessmen. My weight is 58 kilograms. This question is not easy. He was a cruel man. Tell him he should submit his immediate resignation. Antonella doesn't seem to care one way or the other. Why don't you take a break now? Cornering him in an argument is easy - like taking candy from a baby. Revolutionary movements attract those who are not good enough for established institutions as well as those who are too good for them.
Never trust your enemy. I doubt that Those was ever in any real danger. Maybe you're just not getting enough sleep. How soon can I meet Jason? Today we heard a story about biogas extraction. I saw a bottle of black hair dye in the medicine cabinet. I can't fake an interest in this. We can't let Laurie wander around the park by himself. Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you; for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened. I'll go talk to her.
She went there by herself. Dawn is coming to pick me up. Don't forget that Konstantinos still loves you. My house is tiny. Panzer hasn't really tried very hard yet. I'm not used to this kind of hard work. I'm afraid to go first, it's too dark. How long ago was it? It's a new year. I was quite at a loss for words.
There is no message. Were you reading a book at that time? I know Ronni is hurt. This is quite tasty. How did a total stranger know his name? You will need to fill out a business trip report. Put something on and let's leave already. This building is off limits now. Mariou was boring. Can we really have all of these?
She is a slow runner. Now I feel relieved. She'd do anything for you. Sjouke doesn't live with his wife anymore. I knew Kristian was married. Jayesh paid in cash that he happened to have in his pocket. Swimming in the pond is dangerous. The court judged him guilty. I didn't know Anatoly was going to come with us. I think it only matters to you.
There is not past, no future; everything flows in an eternal present. What should we tell Marie now? Wow, that's a big clock! Yes, it's a longcase clock. Please give me another chance. I'd like to explain this in a little more detail. Annard was snoring loudly. Suresh and Hitoshi immediately became friends. We kind of expected this to happen. I'll come and see you at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. Apparently, Sjouke doesn't like Alexander.

US cities under curfew after fresh anti-race protests, looting
Posted by DCY on June 1, 2020
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS – MAY 31: Demonstrators protest in response to the recent death of George Floyd on May 31, 2020 in Boston, Massachusetts. Protests spread across cities in the U.S., and in other parts of the world in response to the death of African American George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

by Charlotte PLANTIVE and Joy POWELL, with Ines BEL AIBA in Washington
MINNEAPOLIS, United States (AFP) — Authorities imposed curfews in the capital Washington and other major US cities Sunday to prevent fresh rioting after anti-racism protestors again took to the streets to voice their fury at police brutality.
As the Trump administration branded instigators of five nights of rioting domestic terrorists, there were more confrontations between protestors and police and fresh outbreaks of looting.
Local leaders appealed to citizens to give constructive outlet to their rage over the death of an unarmed black man, while night-time curfews were imposed in cities such as Washington, Los Angeles, Houston and Minneapolis, which has been the epicenter of unrest.
The most closely-watched protest was outside the state capitol in Minneapolis' twin city of St. Paul where several thousand people gathered before marching down a highway.
"We have black sons, black brothers, black friends, we don't want them to die. We are tired of this happening, this generation is not having it, we are tired of oppression," said Muna Abdi, a 31-year-old black woman who joined the protest.
"I want to make sure he stays alive," she added in reference to her son aged three.
Hundreds of police and National Guard troops were deployed ahead of the protest.
At one point, some of the protestors who had reached a bridge were forced to run for cover when a truck drove at speed after having apparently breached a barricade.
The driver was later taken to hospital after the protestors hauled him from the vehicle although there were no immediate reports of other casualties.
There were other large-scale protests in cities such as New York, Miami and Washington where riot police lined up outside the White House as the crowds gathered at a nearby park.
Washington's mayor issued a curfew order from 11:00 pm until 6:00 am as a report in the New York Times said that President Donald Trump had been rushed by Secret Service agents into an underground bunker at the White House on Friday night during another protest.
– Stores ransacked –
While there was no immediate repeat of the large-scale violence that has rocked cities in recent days, looters ransacked stores in a neighborhood of Philadelphia.
And in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Monica, looting was reported at stores in a popular beachside shopping center with people running out of stores that had been broken into.
Officials in LA — a city scarred by riots over the police beating of Rodney King nearly three decades ago — imposed a curfew from 4:00 pm Sunday until dawn.
"Please, use your discretion and go early, go home, stay home and help us make sure that those who want to change this conversation from being about racial justice to be about burning things and looting things, don't win the day," the city's mayor Eric Garcetti said on CNN.
The shocking videotaped death last Monday of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, at the hands of police in Minneapolis ignited the nationwide wave of outrage over law enforcement's repeated use of lethal force against unarmed African Americans.
Floyd stopped breathing after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
Chauvin has been charged with third-degree murder and is due to make his first appearance in court on Monday; three other officers with him have been fired but for now face no charges.
Governor Tim Walz has mobilized all of Minnesota's National Guard troops — the state guard's biggest mobilization ever — to help restore order.
Police fired tear gas and stun grenades to clear streets of curfew violators Saturday night in Minneapolis.
Walz extended a curfew for a third night Sunday and praised police and guardsmen for holding down violence, saying, "They did so in a professional manner. They did so without a single loss of life and minimal property damage."
"Congratulations to our National Guard for the great job they did immediately upon arriving in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last night," President Donald Trump said in a tweet adding that they "should be used in other States before it is too late!"
The Department of Defense said that around 5,000 National Guard troops had been mobilized in 15 states as well as the capital Washington, with another 2,000 on standby.
The widespread resort to uniformed National Guards units is rare, and it evoked disturbing memories of the rioting in US cities in 1967 and 1968 in a turbulent time of protest over racial and economic disparities.
Trump blamed the extreme left for the violence, saying he planned to designate a group known as Antifa as a terrorist organization.
"The violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly," added Attorney General Bill Barr.
– 'A nation in pain' –
But Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said Trump, who has often urged police to use tough tactics, was not helping matters.
"We are beyond a tipping point in this country, and his rhetoric only enflames that," she said on CBS.
Joe Biden, Trump's opponent in November's presidential election, visited the scene of one anti-racism protest.
"We are a nation in pain right now, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us," Biden wrote on Twitter, posting a picture of him speaking with a black family at the site where protesters had gathered in Delaware on Saturday night.
The death of Floyd has triggered protests beyond the US, with hundreds rallying outside the US embassy in London in solidarity.
"I'm here because I'm tired, I'm fed up with it. When does this stop?" Doreen Pierre told AFP at the protest.
In Germany, England football internatinal Jadon Sancho marked one of his three goals for Borussia Dortmund against Paderborn by lifting his jersey to reveal a T-shirt bearing the words "Justice for George Floyd".

Recruitment Join Us!
Supporter of the Crimson Clan
This user supports the Crimson Clan in the Defense of Havercroft.
Alternatively, you can find a Crimson Clan member template here
Welcome to The Crimson Clan wiki pages. This front page is made primarily for giving a brief introduction to us, and for recruitment information. If you're looking for more specific information, please have a look on the above subpages navigator.
The Crimson Clan is a survivor group, based in and around the suburb of Havercroft in central Malton. The Clan has declared the area surrounding Ackland Mall its domain, and intends to make life difficult for the local PKers and ferals. Due to the varying numbers of prey in central Clan domain, some squads are occasionally seen far into hostile territory.
We are divided into three divisions - the Marines, Home Guard, and Militia. The different divisions are organized very differently to work as efficiently as possible. Our doctors and NecroTechies are able to provide revives and heals whenever needed, while our soldiers bring swift death to the infected or corrupted.
The Crimson Clan has an official radio frequency of 27.50 MHz, and a forum for communications. Many Clan members make use of X:00 tactics.
Both veterans and newbies are welcome to join our ranks.
An old photo taken back in the days when the Clan was based in the extreme North Western Malton. A hidden camera immortalizes the IWM leader Duce Nauks outside Gerrard Place PD in Roywood, moments before he triggers a trap developed by NTa Fippe and NTa William of the Clan's now non-existent Pask Team.
If you're new to the game, we'll help you become a high-level player through our Boot Camp.
If you're already a veteran, you'll get to play Urban Dead in a new way, in co-operation with many other players.
Our numbers are constantly rising. Not so very long ago, we were only a small, non-influential group. Now, The Crimson Clan is one of the more powerful groups in Malton.
As a Militia member
Very little metagaming: If you don't like forums, the Militia is the place for you.
No officers: Do whatever you want to, as long as it kinda benefits the Clan.
But still: You are part of a great survivor group, you have the opportunity to participate in competitions and operations, you have a "hometown", you have other players watching your barricades while you sleep, and you'll learn of the zombie hordes approaching before they strike. Also, don't forget to carry a radio tuned to 27.50 MHz!
As a Marine (Foxtrot squad)
Take a challenge: We expect you to become one of the finest and most disciplined soldiers in Malton.
Join Clan competitions: Every now and then, competitions are held in the Clan. We hold an annual bounty-hunting competition, which is normally good fun. This is just one of our range of games & competitions.
See Malton: The Marines are not only stationed in the Clan domain, but are also sent on missions far into hostile territory.
Metagaming: You need to check the forums at least every 1-2 days, although of course, you're free to be more active as you wish.
X:00 tactics: Several players logging on at the same time means a good opportunity for cooperation, plus a devastating effect in combat.
Meet new friends: The close cooperation of the Marines gives you the opportunity to make new friends.
NB - If you would like to join us, post a link to your UD profile here, and change your UD profile group tag to The Crimson Clan. Due to a newly-imposed rule, you must be active (ie. be in the Marines) or you may not join up. This is due to a problem we've found, in that new members default to militia membership and because they then have less reason to check the forum regularly, we never hear of them again!
October 10th, '09
Foxtrot are now in the last few days of the afore-mentioned mission, known as Operation Talpidus Ridge, and information is now being released. It was to Molebank and the objectives were to repair & cade as many buildings as possible, leave the RP empty and generally aid the previously struggling locals. The mission has been very successful, with all the aims well within our range. Our new recruits also enjoyed their first official operation and have gained much useful experience in the process.
ErrorMaker still rules the Clan wisely, overcoming the hurdles placed in his path (don't tell him it was us who were trying to trip him up). Only very few days ago, there was an appalling spate of vandalism on the forums, in which an Admin's account was used to delete much of the forum and ban several members. It is not yet clear whether it was the Admin himself or whether someone else got access to his account. The incident is being investigated, however, and we hope to come to a satisfactory conclusion very soon. The forum has been repaired and the unpleasant event even managed to attract us some more publicity, leading to more members joining us - an eventuality I'm sure the said vandal hadn't anticipated! Anyway, it is time to sign off again, and remember please, if you're looking for a home away from home, where all is peaceful, calm and quiet... Don't come to us! Thanks and goodbye. --Jsrbrunty 22:44, 10 October 2009 (BST)

As Hyena resigns his successful post as commander, ErrorMaker is elected unanimously by the Leadership Team, who, due to the amount of unfinished leadership terms and elections recently, decided to vote only within the Team itself this time so as not to unsettle things again. May his reign be long and triumphant, may he not make any errors, and above all, may his famous harassment from the Typo Devil cease. Ackland Mall's resident groaning devils seem to be sleeping at present (please don't make any loud noises in the area) and the world-renowned shopping centre is safely barricaded and lit up. Foxtrot are currently resting there temporarily before setting out on another dangerous mission into unsettled territory. Information about the upcoming mission is guarded jealously, but sources say that it is likely to be towards one of the now few red suburbs on the map. Good luck to all involved, and please remember to be very quiet on the way out, as we don't want to wake the dead from their current slumber. --Jsrbrunty 22:56, 19 September 2009 (BST)
August 14th, '09
So far, Hyena has done a good job as deputy commander, in OJF's prolonged absence. He has just begun a new campaign to promote increased activity on the forum, and is also making several fundamental changes to the forum and the way the Clan works. The changes that affect the UD side of things are as follows:
Foxtrot & Novo are being merged. The feeling is that the 2 squads can work much more effectively as 1 unit than separately, and so this is how they will work, in the future. The resulting squad (the 2 former squads merged)'s name has not been decided yet.
The squad will need to be active. We've had a rule stating this before now, but now we intend to strictly inforce it.
The Militia will be closed to recruitment, and so you must be in the Marines (Foxtrot) or you may not join our group. This is due to a problem we've found, in that new members default to militia membership and because they then have less reason to check the forum regularly, we never hear of them again! We call it the 'black hole effect'.
Anyway, that's more or less it for now. Good luck and happy hunting! --Jsrbrunty 20:00, 14 August 2009 (BST)
August 7th, '09
Unfortunately, OJF's term as commander has not gotten off to a good start. Of all the times his internet could have chosen to stop working, it has chosen now. We do not blame OJF for this, and hope he will be back with us very soon, but have been forced to appoint a temporary commander for the duration of his absense. Hyena has been elected by the leadership team to take up the mantle - until OJF's net decides to work on a regular basis. The Clan's squads Foxtrot & Novo have recently been off on a mission called "Operation Colt Trooper", which started in Tollyton and moved on as Tollyton became safe.
July 22nd, '09
Due to reasons in his real life, Commander Legend has decided that it is necessary for him to step down from his newly-acquired post. Unfortunately, he feels he can no longer contribute a sufficient amount of time to the Clan to benefit the Clan. OJF has been promoted in his place. --Jsrbrunty 16:19, 22 July 2009 (BST)

We develop a module-based framework for constraint modeling where it is possible to combine different constraint modeling languages and exploit their strengths in a flexible way. In the framework a constraint model consists of modules with clear input/output interfaces. When combining modules, apart from the interface, a module is a black box whose internals are invisible to the outside world. Inside a module a chosen constraint language (approaches such as CP, ASP, SAT, and MIP) can be used. This leads to a clear modular semantics where the overall semantics of the whole constraint model is obtained from the semantics of individual modules. The framework supports multi-language modeling without the need to develop a complicated joint semantics and enables the use of alternative semantical underpinnings such as default negation and classical negation in the same model. Furthermore, computational aspects of the framework are considered and, in particular, possibilities of benefiting from the known module structure in solving constraint models are studied.
This work is financially supported by Academy of Finland under the project Methods for Constructing and Solving Large Constraint Models (grant #122399).
