Road to Rio – Chasing the Olympic Dream
First of all, congratulations to Ben Ryan and the Fiji Rugby 7s team who last weekend completed the defence of their World Series crown. With the Series over for another year, thoughts now move to Brazil, where rugby will be making its long-awaited return to the Olympic Games.
Rugby was last played at the Olympics in 1924, when the USA won Gold in the 15-man code ahead of France and Romania, the only other nations to compete. This will be the début of Rugby 7s at the Olympics, with 12 teams competing over 2 days. As hosts, Brazil qualified automatically. So far they have been joined by Fiji, Great Britain, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina, USA, France, Japan, Australia and Kenya. The final qualifier will be decided at a 16-team competition in Monaco in mid-June. Anything can happen in a tournament, but it is likely that Samoa or Canada will be the victor and take the final Olympic spot.
Since the Olympic return was announced, a number of unions have pushed funds towards the 7-man code in order to give their nation the best chance of Olympic glory. A number of nations have also opened their door to 15s players who they hope could help them get a place on the podium. But which teams have the best chance of getting a medal?
Having won the World Series the last 2 years, Fiji have to be the favourites to win Gold. Always a fan favourite, the Fijians may not be the best defensively, but their natural skill and attacking ability allows them to often outscore the opposition. You have to go back to the 2010/11 season to find the last time that Fiji finished outside the top 3 in the World Series. Of course, the Olympics is a single tournament, so a weak defence could prove costly, but with experienced sevens stars such as Jasa Veremalua, Osea Kolinisau (both in this season's Dream Team), Samisoni Viriviri and Semi Kunatani, you can guarantee there won't be a boring moment when Fiji are on the pitch.
Glasgow lock and offload king Leone Nakarawa has also spent some time back with the 7s team. The ability to offload out of a tackle, thereby taking the tackler and maybe even extra defenders out of the game, always comes in handy in rugby, but probably even more so in 7s, where there are only 7 men to cover the whole pitch. There may also be a spot in the Olympic squad for cross-code star Jarryd Hayne, who made his Fiji 7s début at Twickenham last weekend. His performances in the NRL and NFL suggest that if he can quickly get up to speed with the style of play, he could be one of the breakout stars in Rio.
Bringing in new players so close to the tournament, especially those with limited experience of the game, will always be risky, but Fiji have the right man at the helm to give them the best possible chance. Former England 7s Head Coach Ben Ryan has done a great job installing more order to the Fijian play whilst keeping the natural flair that everyone knows and loves.
Likely to have the support of neutral fans due to their style of play, I fully expect to see Fiji on the podium and would not be surprised to see them win gold.
Like Fiji, New Zealand will always be pushing for the latter stages at individual tournaments, and will always be towards the top in the end-of-season standings. With the experience of IRB Hall of Fame member Gordon Tietjens guiding them, you can guarantee that the All Blacks Sevens team will be doing everything they can to win gold at Rio. 44 players have moved on from Titch's squads to be capped by the All Blacks in the 15-man code.
A number of 15s players have spent some or all of the season with the 7s squad in the hopes of making the Olympics team. Most notably are World Cup winners Liam Messam (one of those to graduate from international 7s to 15s) and Sonny Bill Williams. I mentioned earlier the benefit of having a player who can frequently offload out the tackle and Williams showed that perfectly against South Africa in the pool stages of the Wellington 7s, where was tackled by 3 players but till managed to get the offload to allow Joe Webber to run in untouched. Titch also has a number of 7s regulars to pick from as well, including Gillies Kaka, Tim Mikkelson and DJ Forbes.
New Zealand may have only finished 3rd in the World Series this season, but given the amount of squad rotation due to injuries and experimentation, that is still a good result. They were also able to win 3 tournaments this season, the only team other than Fiji (also 3) to win multiple tournaments.
As a team they also have great experience of winning the big tournaments, having won 2 Rugby World Cup Sevens events (2001 & 2013) and 4 Commonwealth Games gold medals (1998, 2002, 2006, 2010) under Tietjens. This gives me confidence that New Zealand can grab a medal, and they are probably the team with the best chance of beating the Fijians to gold.
Though they only won a single tournament, the Blitzbokke's consistency saw them beat New Zealand to 2nd place in the overall standings in the World Series. Along with Fiji, they were the only team to field 2 players in this season's Dream Team: Kwagga Smith and Seabelo Senatla. We've known for a couple of season that Senatla was a real talent, but he made it perfectly clear this year, scoring a whopping 66 tries in the World Series. By comparison, the next highest amount of tries was 45 from Perry Baker. Senatla also narrowly missed out to Madison Hughes as the top points scorer in the series, scoring 330 points to Hughes' 331. There is no substitute for pace in 7s and Senatla has plenty of that.
Bryan Habana is another high profile name looking to make his national team for the Olympics, as is Worcester scrum half Francois Hougaard, but with the quality of players available for South Africa – including Cecil Afrika, Branco du Preez, Roscko Speckman and captain Kyle Brown – there is no guarantee either of them will actually make it to Rio as anything more than a spectator.
South Africa also come into this as current Commonwealth Games Champions, experience that could prove vital in their quest for gold. I think if the draw goes in their favour the Blizbokke could get gold, but find it much more likely they will be fighting for the bronze.
The Aussies are a difficult teams to judge. Runners up this season in the USA and also their home event, they struggled to consistently come away from events with a decent points haul, but were still able to make it to 4th in the overall standings. They may not have the as many 'superstar' players as some of the teams mentioned here, but their ability to play well as a team means they could very easily cause an upset against the more favoured teams. I can see them making the semis but, barring a favourable draw, expect them to just miss out on the podium.
USA Rugby have put a big focus on 7s to help the development of rugby in the USA. The 7s team is not used to develop players from the national 15-a-side team, but has also been pushing to maximise their chances of Olympic glory, having offered their players professional contracts since 2012.
As discussed in a previous post a number of athletes have crossed over from other sports in order to try and win a medal. The most notable name in recent months has been Super Bowl Champion Nate Ebner, who was given leave by the New England Patriots to try out for the Olympic inclusion, having previously played for the national 7s team as a teenager. Former Philadelphia Eagle Perry Baker has had a great season, second only to Senatla in the try scoring charts and 5th overall on points scored, also making the season's Dream Team.
This season's top points scorer Madison Hughes is likely to be leading the team in Rio, and will possibly be joined by Zack Test, Danny Barrett and Thretton Palamo – all of whom featured for the USA during the 2015 Rugby World Cup – and the fastest man in world rugby Carlin Isles.
The USA team has come on leaps and bounds since Mike Friday took over. Before the 2014/15 season, their best finish in the World Series had been 10th, but they have now finished 6th 2 years running and also won their first ever tournament last year at Twickenham.
The USA maybe don't have the strength in depth that some of the other sides do, but on their day and with a favourable draw, the USA could be dark horses to finish on the podium.
Great Britain are probably the hardest team to judge at this moment. They have not yet had any serious time together as a team, which puts them at a disadvantage, but hey have also been able to have a larger number of players taking part in the World Series each week thanks to them competing as 3 separate countries.
As individual countries, their results don't make the best of reading for Team GB fans: England finishing 8th overall, Scotland 10th and Wales 12th. They managed one tournament victory between them, Scotland's win last weekend. However what must be taken into account here is that England's squad, much like the All Blacks, has been frequently changed this year to try and help keep players like Tom Mitchell and Dan Norton at peak fitness for the Olympics, whilst also to try and deal with injuries to regulars like Dan Bibby.
Head coach Simon Amor's Olympic plans will ave also been hindered by the lack of help from the national unions or the clubs. Joe Simpson and Mark Bennett are probably the most notable names from 15s to be picked for the training squad, however unlike Williams and Habana, they have not been released by their clubs to spend any time on the World Series this season, giving them a limited time to transition to the shorter form of the game. Marcus Watson was also not released by Newcastle until their season was over. Having more experience of 7s, he may be able to get back up to speed quicker but there is no guarantee of that.
This lack of time on the sevens circuit means that they will have a limited time to gel together, harming their chances, but it does also mean that the opposition will have less of an idea what to expect, which could help balance the field slightly.
Simon Amor will look to get the best out of the players he selects, but at this moment I think a semi final spot would be a fantastic result but would probably require a very favourable draw. At this moment the best chance of a medal for Team GB Rugby would appear to be in the women's game…

The Stars of Tomorrow: A few takeaways from England U20 v Italy U20

Give, Eat, and Live is a selection of poems translated from the 12th century Tamil poet Avvaiyar, arguably one of the most important female poets in Tamil's two-thousand-and-five-hundred years of literary history, and certainly one of the best known, of any gender. Although people across the state of Tamil Nadu know many of her works by heart, she has received little attention outside India, owing largely to the lack of decent translations. The one comprehensive work in English, Avvaiyar, a great Tamil poetess, by C. Rajagopalachari (Bombay: Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, 1971), has long since been out of print and renders Avvaiyar's poems in accurate but wooden translations. This book, by contrast, seeks to render her finest songs in a supple and poetically charged English that allows both her intellect and poetry to shine.
The selection includes poems from two of Avvaiyar's major books on the good life, Muturai, "The Word that Endures," and Nalvali, "The Right Road." It also includes a generous sampling of poetry that was written separately and later gathered into collections. All of them use a Tamil form called venpa, dating back to the late Sangam period (first to third century C.E.). Though they speak of ethics, they do not cease to be poetry, employing imagery drawn from the Tamil landscape as well as a deeply musical line. These are poems meant to be chanted and sung.
Many of these poems have been published individually, not only in India by the country's leading journal of Indian literature in translation, but also by the Temenos Academy in London. Give, Eat, and Live, in turn, will bring her work the wider attention it has long since deserved. Both aficionados of Indian literature and lovers of poetry alike will savor this first literary translation of one of Tamil's best loved poets.
Thomas H. Pruiksma is a writer, poet, and translator from Seattle, Washington. His other books include A Feast for the Tongue: Forty Servings of Spoken Tamil with Helpings of Equally Spoken English, co-authored with Dr. K.V. Ramakoti, and The Body and the Earth: Notes from a Conversation, with the artist C.F. John. When he's not reading or writing, you can find him working in the garden, performing magic, and making music with family and friends on Vashon Island, where he now lives.
It is an excellent book for those who seek to know more about Tamil literature and culture. The following is a select summary of my more complete review at [...] .
This book is an English translation of Avvaiyar's poems from the Tamil by an American poet Mr. Pruiksma. When I saw this book listed by the online bookseller, Amazon.com, I bought this book out of curiosity. I knew many of the poems in my childhood, and have long since forgotten over the years. My mother retired as a school teacher over fifteen years ago, and to this day, she can recite many of Avvaiyaar's poems. These poems are thought to be written around the twelfth century AD by the Avvaiyar of the later period, unlike the Avvaiyaar of the Sangam era.
Translating poems is a challenging task. A poetic beauty of a poem is determined by many things including its literary beauty, its tonality/rhythm when read, the imagery it evokes, its adherence to its chosen poetic form and structure without the appearance of contrivance, and more importantly the universality of the underlying message. It is indeed a difficult task to capture all these dimensions in a translation. As a native speaker of Tamil, I can say that Mr. Pruiksma has succeeded well in this task.
He has translated about sixty four line verses (of the Tamil poetic form, Venpaa, or வெண்பா) of Avvaiyaar. The translations are predominantly from two works of Avviyaar - Moodhurai (மூதுரை) and Nalvazhi (நல்வழி). The book elegantly presents both the original Tamil poem, and its English translation side by side. This makes going back and forth between the languages easy to do for those who know both Tamil and English. He has ably chosen poems that evoke vivid imagery, and convey the essence of the idea. To the translator's credit, the timelessness of the ideas expressed in her poems, shine through the translations.
The only criticism of the book is the rather thin selection of 60 poems of Avvaiyaar. After finishing the book, one wishes for more. In any case, Mr. Pruiksma is a wonderful addition to the small family of native English speakers who have learned Tamil.
I hope this book is the first of many more capable translations of new/old Tamil literature, as well as original works in Tamil from Mr. Pruiksma in the years to come.

The community of South Riding, like the rest of the country, lives in the long shadow of war. Blighted by recession and devastated by the loss, they must also come to terms with significant social change.Forward-thinking and ambitious, Sarah Burton is the embodiment of such change. After the death of her fianc, she returns home to Yorkshire focused on her career as headmistress of the local school. But not everyone can embrace the new social order. Robert Carne, a force of conservatism, stands firmly against Sarah. A tormented man, he carries a heavy burden that locks him in the past.
As the villagers of South Riding adjust to Sarah's arrival and face the changing world, emotions run high, prejudices are challenged and community spirit is tested.
Anna Maxwell Martin (Bleak House) and David Morrissey lead an outstanding cast in this rich and panoramic portrait of community in turmoil. Winifred Holtby's little-known and hard-to-find literary gem is a magnificent masterpiece, to be joyfully rediscovered by a whole new generation of readers.

A new system optimises electric transmission from offshore wind farms
by Carlos III University of Madrid
Wind turbine. Credit: UC3M
Scientists from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have designed a new control system for wind turbines in offshore wind farms that allows power transmission to the coast in a more flexible and cheaper way than current solutions.
This innovation allows the use of a diode rectifier station in the offshore platform of a high voltage direct current (HVDC) link. In this way, the wind turbine's alternating current (AC) can be easily converted into direct current (DC) for HVDC transmission.
The researchers have developed a distributed control system to synchronise and regulate the electrical voltage and frequency of the wind turbines of the offshore wind farm. This allows the transmission of energy to the general network through an HVDC link with a diode rectifier station. "It is less complicated, cheaper and more flexible than other current solutions," explains co-author Santiago Arnaltes Gómez, head of the UC3M Power Control Group.
This new system synchronises the wind turbines without using any additional element, since it uses the wind turbines' capacity to contribute to voltage and frequency control. One of key factors is the use of diode rectifier stations, which reduce the cost of the offshore rectifier platform by up to 30 percent, according to some studies. "What we have managed to do is to provide the technical feasibility necessary in order to use this kind of rectifier, since at the moment, wind turbines still cannot work with them," explains co-author José Luis Rodríguez Amenedo, from UC3M's Department of Electrical Engineering.
The researchers have developed three patents in relation to this system, which they have validated by means of simulations, small-scale laboratory prototypes and proofs of concept. The next step is its commercialisation and industrialisation. "Our main clients would be large electricity companies that have the capacity to make these diode rectifier stations," said Amenedo.
Globally, the integration of offshore wind farms into mainland electrical systems is currently being put forward as a way of reducing fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the fact that a significant proportion of the large offshore wind farms planned are located far from the coast, a connection using HVDC links (in direct current) is technically and economically more suitable than a HVAC transmission system (in alternating current).

A mapping application for Google's Project Tango that gives the device "legs" to discover and navigate indoor environments. Named for "the walking steps" of the [Tango Dance][1], this application provides guidance for moving the device through an indoor environment that has been "learned" with the help of a "teacher".

#Features
* Learns an area through observation
* Remembers Places named by the teacher
* Provides the name of the Place closest to the device
* Allows the teacher to choose a destination Place
* Provides guidance to the teacher to move the device to reach a destination
* Provides the distance to the nearest object in the center of the device's view
* Save a PointCloud to a .csv file

#Road Map
* Guide around objects blocking the path to a destination
* Calculate a Route to a place using intermediate Places that may be reached.
* Provide autonomous movement using an [iRobot Create 2][2].
* Simplify and streamline the area learning

# Setup
The project and code is very raw right now and may not work.  The project was forked from [briangaffey][3]'s copy of the [tango-examples-java][4] so it [would work on Android Studio][5].  The AreaLearning project has received the majority of additions.  It is intended this "exploratory" code will be replaced entirely.

## Prerequisites
* Android Studio
* Project Tango Tablet
* Experience using [tango-examples-java][4]

## Build & Deploy
1. Import the project in Android Studio
1. Build and Deploy AreaLearning project to your Tango Device
1. Confirm the appliction is running on your Device

#Usage

First learn and area, then use the guidance.

##Learn an Area
1. Toggle _Learning mode off_ to _Learning mode on_
2. Press Start
3. Record the area of interest by pointing the device in all directions of the room using smooth movement. Move around to get better angles of an area.
4. Press _Save ADF_ to store the area providing it the name of the area you recorded

##Create Places
1. An area must already have been learned and the most recent ADF file saved on the device
2. Toggle _Learning mode off_ to _Learning mode on_
3. Toggle _Load ADF off_ to _Load ADF on_
4. Press Start
5. Follow the instructions in the _Awareness_ text (rotate the device so it will recognize the area)
6. Once the are is recognized the _Awareness_ will say the name of the ADF recognized
7. Move to an area of interest and press _Mark Waypoint_ button (office door, desk, kitchen, etc)
8. Name the area
9. The Place will be remembered and associated with the ADF file
10. Save the ADF file again.  This is not mandatory, but it will improve future area recognition and accuracy. It will append to the existing ADF.

##Navigate to a Place
1. Places must have been marked and associated to an ADF file that is recognized
2. Press _Go_ button
3. Type the name of the place you wish to navigate
4. The app will choose the closest match to what you typed
5. Follow the text in Guidance (_Left, Right,Forward_) until you have _Arrived_

##Measure Depth
1. Press _Start_ (no setup required)
2. Point the device at an object and observe the distance
3. Confirm correct measurements by pointing at a wall next to an open doorway and then slide towards the door so the measurement reports the depth through the doorway

Karole Armitage says she was attracted to composer Gyorgy Ligeti "not only for his mixture of classicism and innovation," but also for his deep humanity.
She might have been addressing the beauties of her own choreography. Once a student of both George Balanchine and Merce Cunningham, she blends ballet and modernism with unimpeachable authority. Her dancers rush into their dips, bends, modernized pirouettes and multiple ballet echoes in "Ligeti Essays" with unmistakable evocations of Balanchine's verve, mystery and drama. Ballet and modernity meet and embrace.
On view during her Armitage Gone! Dance troupe's visit to the Dance Center of Columbia College, this work is stark, invigorating stuff. She ties her merciless technical assault (her six dancers won a standing ovation Thursday and deserved it) to a keen musical sensitivity. You may not anticipate her choices, but you watch agape as, time after time, she stuns you with their logic. Though much of "Ligeti" is harsh, unforgiving and physical, Armitage teases with unpredictable wit.
After a rigorous workout, "Ligeti" erupts with a fey folk line and circle dance. On a bare stage graced only with a giant, silver-painted tree, perfect decor for "Waiting for Godot," Armitage tempers the Kurt Weill-on-steroids score with a scene of the dancers bearing metallic lanterns in fetching geometric designs, hints tribal mankind will survive. The male duets are among the best sequences. But that's not to shortchange Frances Chiaverini, whose poise and precision center the work and forge hypnotic partnerships, especially with tall, satiny William Isaac and elastic Ryan Kelly, a former New York City Ballet dancer.
"Time is the echo of an axe within a wood" illustrates its Bela Bartok score with exhausting speed and wit, Chiaverini briefly posing her hands as puppy paws and all the dancers moving backward, wriggling their rears.
Armitage Gone! Dance performs through Saturday at the Dance Center, 1306 S. Michigan Ave. For tickets: 312-344-6600.

Ridgeons League roundup: League leaders Wroxham indebted to referee
Published: 10:35 AM January 16, 2012 Updated: 2:19 PM October 10, 2020
Wroxham may be indebted to their match referee as they maintained their lead at the top of the Premier Division on a day when the three title favourites all won.
The Yachtsmen were leading 2-1 at Haverhill Rovers on Saturday when the hosts launched a late attack – but just as their player rose to head past keeper Michael Hilton for the equaliser, referee Adrian Gillett blew his whistle to signal the end of the game.
Victory leaves Wroxham seven points clear of Brantham and Ely City, who beat Newmarket Town 8-1 and Kirkley & Pakefield 2-1 respectively.
Dereham Town are fourth after a 2-0 home win over Hadleigh, overtaking Norwich United, who were held to a goalless draw at Felixstowe and Walton United.
Wroxham had taken the lead after 16 minutes through a Shaun Howes free-kick. The game looked to have been settled six minutes later when Matthew Daniels burst through the Rovers defence only to be upended by Benstead for a penalty which he duly converted.
Rovers fought back and when Jack Wilkinson rose to head a Jack Higgs cross past Hilton, an unlikely comeback looked on the cards – until Mr Gillett intervened.
Dereham gave a debut to new signing Michael Sommerfield – and the defender got his Aldiss Park career off to a cracking start.
The Magpies took the lead in the 13th minute after Hadleigh keeper Daniel Heath failed to intercept a Gary Starling free-kick from the left and the ball was headed out to Billy Smith, who cracked in a blistering drive via the left-hand post.
Starling nearly caught out Heath with a 30-yard free-kick before the full-back delivered another free-kick into the visitors' defence. After a series of ricochets, Sommerfield forced the ball home on 24 minutes.
It was stalemate at the seaside for Norwich United, who dropped to fifth, despite having the better chances in what was a poor game.
Gorleston's home game against Wisbech Town was postponed because parts of the Emerald Park pitch were frozen.
Along the coast, Great Yarmouth Town went down 4-0 at home to Stanway Rovers – taking their goals against column into three figures.
Kirkley & Pakefield's recent good run of form was halted by Ely City, whose winner came from Nick Impey, four minutes into stoppage time, while Diss lost 3-1 at home to Mildenhall. Former Tangerines striker Andrew Wood scored a hat-trick for the visitors while James Pipe scored his 10th goal of the season for Diss.
There was a shock in Division One, where Thetford were knocked off top spot after losing 2-1 at home to Godmanchester – the first points they have dropped at home all season. March take over after their 2-0 win at Cornard United.
Swaffham Town thumped Stowmarket Town 5-2, Alex Vincent scoring a hat-trick, with an own goal and a late effort from Joe Jackson.
Downham lost 1-0 at home to Fakenham in front their biggest crowd of the season, 125.

La Francis Rodgers-Rose is an American sociologist and Founder/CEO of the International Black Women's Congress.

Early life and education
La Francis Rodgers-Rose was born in Norfolk, Virginia, and grew up in segregated Portsmouth, Virginia with her mother, two older brothers and younger sister.

She graduated from Morgan State University with honours in sociology and anthropology in 1958, where her commencement speaker was the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She later also graduated from Fisk University. She also attended the University of Iowa for her PhD, studying social psychology.

Career
Dr. La Francis Rodgers-Rose took up her first full-time teaching post in 1964 and held many teaching positions until 1972 when she left to take up a position at Educational Testing Services in Princeton, New Jersey. She returned to teaching a year later, after differences in direction between herself and the organization. She has over 30 years of teaching experience; she taught African American Studies at Princeton University for 16 years, and has taught at Case Western Reserve University, Rutgers University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Drew University.

Rodgers-Rose is the author of The Black Woman, published in 1980 by Sage Publications, the first textbook in the social sciences about Black women from their own perspectives. In this book, she highlights that although Black women participate in the labour market at higher rates, the jobs they occupy are more likely to be less secure, have fewer benefits, and pay less than those held by white women.

She is the Founder/CEO of the International Black Women's Congress, a nonprofit organisation for women of African ancestry, which she founded in 1983 in Newark, New Jersey. It aims to surface social, political and economic empowerment in a global community of Black women.

In 2017 she was the recipient of a Malcolm X Black Unity Awards from the Organisation of Black Unity in the UK.

She is described by American sociologist Dolores P. Aldridge as one of the pioneering black woman sociologists.

Personal life
After suffering from congestive heart failure, Rodgers-Rose had a heart transplant aged 65. She is an advocate for health and organ donation in the African-American community.

I'm A Celeb star Larry Lamb has revealed he has a secret daughter from his first marriage.
The actor, who has starred in EastEnders as well as Gavin & Stacey, made the shocking declaration that he hasn't seen one of his children in 36 years.
The 69-year-old told The Mirror that he had not wanted to marry before his first wife Anita at 21 but that it seemed like the 'right thing to do' as they welcomed their little girl Vanessa.

Larry said: 'Anita remarried when Vanessa was three. So I wasn't included because she had a stepdad. I don't even know if she knows I'm her father…
'It's not for me to go delving into her life. But the thought that she might have already made me a grandfather has often crossed my mind…

'Her birthday is so close to mine that every year I think, "She's another year older." It's just one of those sadnesses.'
'I sat for an hour with this little piece of me in my arms. My guilt, my sadness, my fears all turned over,' he continued.
'I knew that this tiny being was there because her mum wanted her there. I'd made my decision and I'd walked away.

Larry went on to admit that he 'never set eyes on my daughter since that day,' but added that he'd never forget 'that hour I spent with her.'
Larry, who is now in a relationship with Clare Burt, went on to marry Linda Martin before they subsequently split.
He went on to have TV presenter George Lamb, 36, with Linda, as well as 17-year-old Eloise and Eva-Mathilde, 13, with his current partner Clare.

Graph Based Protocols are yet another way of implementing Lock Based Protocols.
As we know the prime problems with Lock Based Protocol has been avoiding Deadlocks and ensuring a Strict Schedule. We've seen that Strict Schedules are possible with following Strict or Rigorous 2-PL. We've even seen that Deadlocks can be avoided if we follow Conservative 2-PL but the problem with this protocol is it cannot be used practically. Graph Based Protocols are used as an alternative to 2-PL. Tree Based Protocols is a simple implementation of Graph Based Protocol.
If di –> dj then any transaction accessing both di and dj must access di before accessing dj.
Implies that the set D may now be viewed as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), called a database graph.
Partial Order on Database items determines a tree like structure.
Only Exclusive Locks are allowed.
The first lock by Ti may be on any data item. Subsequently, a data Q can be locked by Ti only if the parent of Q is currently locked by Ti.
Data items can be unlocked at any time.
Following the Tree based Protocol ensures Conflict Serializablity and Deadlock Free schedule. We need not wait for unlocking a Data item as we did in 2-PL protocol, thus increasing the concurrency.
Now, let us see an Example, following is a Database Graph which will be used as a reference for locking the items subsequently.
Let's look at an example based on the above Database Graph. We have three Transactions in this schedule and this is a skeleton example, i.e, we will only see how Locking and Unlocking works, let's keep this simple and not make this complex by adding operations on data.
From the above example, first see that the schedule is Conflict Serializable. Serializablity for Locks can be written as T2 –> T1 –> T3.
Data items Locked and Unlocked are following the same rule as given above and follows the Database Graph.
Thus, let's revise once more what are the key points of Graph Based Protocols.
With some advantages comes some Disadvantages also.
Unnecessary locking overheads may happen sometimes, like if we want both D and E, then at least we have to lock B to follow the protocol.
Cascading Rollbacks is still a problem. We don't follow a rule of when Unlock operation may occur so this problem persists for this protocol.
Overall this protocol is mostly known and used for its unique way of implementing Deadlock Freedom.
