Compiler Design
Overview
Compiler takes an arbitrary dataflow program as input, and outputs an optimized physical execution plan to be understood by the execution runtime. The steps are as followings:
- Compiler frontend first translates the logical layer of given dataflow program written in high-level languages, like Apache Beam, into an expressive, general-purpose Nemo Intermediate Representation (IR).
- Then using the optimization pass interface provided by the Compiler optimizer, the IR can be flexibly reshaped and annotated with a variety of execution properties that configures the underlying runtime behaviors.
- After being processed by optimization passes, the Compiler backend finally lays out the IR into a physical execution plan, composed of tasks and stages, to be carried out by the Nemo Execution Runtime.
Frontend
The frontend of Nemo Compiler translates arbitrary high-level dataflow languages, like Apache Beam, into our expression of Nemo IR with an elementary annotation of default execution properties. Frontend for different languages are designed as visitors that traverse given applications written in high-level dataflow languages in a topological order. While traversing the logic, it translates each dataflow operators and edges on the way, and appends the translated IR components to the Nemo IR builder. After completing the traversal, the IR builder builds the logical part of the IR after checking its integrity. Integrity check ensures a few factors, such as ensuring vertices without any incoming edges to read source data.
Optimizer
After the IR is created with its logical structures set up, we need an Nemo policy to optimize the application for a specific goal. To build Nemo policies safely and correctly, we provide a policy builder interface, which checks for the integrity while registering series of passes in a specific order.
For example, if an annotating pass requires information of specific execution properties to perform its work, we specify them as prerequisite execution properties, and check the order and the content of registered passes to ensure that the conditions have been met. We avoid the cases where circular dependencies occur, through the default execution properties that we provide at the initiation of the Nemo IR.
Using the policy, the optimizer applies each optimization passes one-by-one in the provided order, and checks for the IR integrity after each optimization has been done, to ensure that the IR is not broken.
Backend
After the optimizations have been applied, Compiler backend finally traverses and lays out the IR into a physical execution plan, which is understood by Execution Runtime. In the backend, vertices annotated with the same stage numbers are grouped into stages, to be concurrently run in a distributed fashion, and are expressed in a form of tasks. The generated physical execution plan composed of tasks, task groups (stages), and the data dependency information between them is then submitted to Execution Runtime to be scheduled and executed.

The LDT-AIR project employs free space communication techniques to produce a product sthat can transmit information safely and securely. Each subsystem of the project was designed, tested and implemented to produce one final product. Optimization of this communication technique will lead to auspicious means to transmit information.
Since the dawn of the digital age the demand to move large amounts of information as fast as possible has been unquestionable. The LDT-AIR project members have decided to continue the advancement in the movement of information by exploring the fundamentals of free space communication. The inherent restrictions of free space optical communications are scattering and environmental factors. ue to these restrictions the LDT-AIR project set precedence on bit error, range, and resistance to environmental factors while a secure communication transmission. Some secondary priorities are consumer cost, and portability to ensure the LDT-AIR remains as competitive as possible with industry demand.
As technology continues to advance the demand for hardware and technologies that support higher bandwidths is at an all-time high. The US Federal Communications Commission has stated that Wi-Fi, which utilizes radio frequencies, is close to maximum bandwidth usage. By using optical frequencies much more data can be transmitted. With this in mind, the Light Data Transfer (LDT) Project was designed. Inspiration for this project came from the emerging market of Li-Fi communication, as well as NASA's LLCD, and OPALS projects. The LDT Project will take a modulated digital signal, via laser, through a lens system to a sensor. The digital signal will then be demodulated and displayed on an output screen. For the demonstration the laser will have a wavelength of 650 nm to avoid eye injuries and attempts in the near infrared spectral region, 700 nm - 1400 nm, will be used to achieve bit rate speeds of at least 1Mbps download speeds. The distance between laser setups will be 10 feet and we will push the distance farther as we achieve our data speed. The LDT Project can be another means of providing users with a more secure and reliable option of sending and receiving information. With this technology exploited the future of bandwidth demanding applications will continue to provide users with their services around the world, and beyond.


Install progress report

Greg Hurrell
Been very busy working on Install the last few days adding a few powerful new features:
Ability to specify multiple installation configurations, each tailored for a particular version (or range of versions) of Mac OS X
Ability to add or remove login items Ability to execute shell scripts, with or without root privileges, as part of "preflight" or "postflight" installation phases Ability to execute shell scripts, again with or without root privileges, and then act on the basis of the exit code from the script No limits on which shell you use (Bash, Perl etc) Can pass arguments to the shell scripts New Item in the Install Application menu to take you to the Install website Lots of internal changes to make the code more extensible and flexible, preparing the way for a new kind of license (a Framework+Binary license) so that developers can customize the installer even further by adding their own subclasses; the new license will be offered as an alternative to the existing Binary-Only and Full-Source licenses Much-improved "Finish" install step, allowing more complicated post-install actions; it is now possible to specify with much more flexibility which files to open and with what applications Ongoing code-auditing to tighten up the code and make it more robust; I haven't found any memory leaks or bugs yet, but I have been making minor adjustments to the code which make it more "future-proof" As part of the above, I've developed some new exception macros to make working with exceptions easier under both the old and the new-style exception models Much more that I can't remember right now... Looks like it's going to be a ripper of a release, and it will enable me to finally release another product I have waiting in the wings, but for which I didn't yet have an installer that could do the necessary bits and pieces to get it deployed...

Not that I am trying to dampen your enthusiasm, but have any developers bought licensing for Install yet?
Another new product sounds fun... although you imply some sort of system level utility.
-
Greg Hurrell
It's important to remember that I developed Install because I needed a tool to deploy Synergy. I was getting overwhelmed with questions about how to install it (even though it is a simple prefPane).
It's been a highly valuable experience because in writing the program I have created code that has been rolled directly into GetSmart Pro, Synergy Advance and WinHex.
And there's plenty of useful stuff in Install that I can leverage elsewhere: the ability to run stuff with root privileges, the ability to run shell scripts, code for adding and removing login items etc.
Install 1.1 came out last week, and yesterday Install 1.1.1. Version 1.1.2 is already in the pipeline.
To answer your question: yes, I'm not the only developer using Install, although I never expect to license a huge number of copies and I don't think Install will ever "pay the rent" for me. Perhaps once more developers start to see Install being used for deploying software they'll want to license it and thus avoid "reinventing the wheel" when it comes to installing their own software. Compared to the competition, Install is very competitively priced.
But in the case of this application, it's definitely about much more than just the money...

How about giving free licences of Install to freeware app developers?
-
Greg Hurrell
Your idea is a very good one. Although I am not planning on offering free licenses, I do have plans to offer a very cheap license for use with open source projects and freeware.

Instead of keeping separate progress logs for each topic I think I'll just keep one single progress log for all of them. I am putting a lot of work into frameworks that get used by more than one app so it makes some sense to combine the logs. See the new combined log here:

ViewsContainer
public class ViewsContainer<Key>
This class is used to encapsulate the logic to store and retrieve PlasticView
instances
during the layout
operation. In general, a ViewsContainer
is related to a single NodeDescription
instance, and the managed views are the descriptions of the children.
It is generic over the Key
parameter to enforce the type checking
in the subscript used to retrieve the instances of PlasticView
.
The typical usage in a layout of a ViewsContainer
instance is the following:
// to get the native view
let nativeView = views.nativeView
// to get the PlasticView instance related to `.key`
let keyView = views[.key] // please note that an optional value is returned

Looks like Apple is making its very own VR gaming headset
Heads up.
News by Imogen Beckhelling, Reporter Intern Updated on 12 November 2019
The Apple VR and AR headsets seem like they're only a few years away, as a new report suggests the company is working on its very own gaming headset technology.
As reported by Bloomberg, Apple is making a combined VR and AR headset "with a focus on gaming, watching video and virtual meetings". It will supposedly be released between 2021 and 2022, with a "lightweight pair of AR glasses" coming in 2023.
Bloomberg's sources told the publication Apple planned to have the technology ready for a VR headset as early as 2019, but decided to push it back - presumably to make space for the new iPad Pro set to release next year.
"Engineering teams for the iPhone and iPad have begun work on connecting important applications and software features to a new operating system", Bloomberg reports. "Dubbed 'rOS' internally, it will let current devices work with the future headset and glasses."
We reported last week that Apple had supposedly joined forces with Valve to create "AR head-mounted display devices", though this new information suggests Apple are going it alone to create a potential competitor to Valve's headset.
Apple has increasingly shown interest in the gaming side of things, what with the successful launch of Apple Arcade this year, and rumours in the past of the company working on AR headsets.
We don't know yet what games Apple plans on using its VR technology for, but there's no doubt it'll make a big fuss about it when anything gets announced in the future.

Community leaders are keen to point out that the incident is not racially motivated, although there are reports that it was triggered by the arrest of a black motorcyclist. ... The disturbances in Liverpool follow race riots in Brixton, south London in April and two days ago in Southall, west London."

University BDSM club accused of fostering rape
Des Moines Register | Submitted by: Jonny Plasma
"Jayme Howard spends his days at computer science class. At night, the Iowa State University freshman learns how to tie up and spank partners. He gets his nighttime lessons from Cuffs, a campus club that teaches students about bondage and other sexual fetishes. ... 'This is an alarm bell,' said Chuck Hurley, president of the Iowa Family Policy Center in Pleasant Hill. Hurley says rape is vastly underreported on college campuses. 'I think for the university to condone this act in the light of the rape problem is like throwing gasoline on a destructive fire. It's just going to make it worse,' he said. ... 'While the argument is made that this is consensual ... sadism is disrespectful and masochism is self-disrespectful,' Hurley said. 'To fund something that is degrading or sexually violent can only lead to heartache.'" [Yawn.]

Athens killing stray dogs
CNN | Submitted by: Buzz Beer
"Greek dog lovers accused the city of Athens on Wednesday of poisoning and burning more than 3,000 stray dogs this year to try to clean up streets before the 2004 Olympics. 'The dogs have been killed, poisoned, burnt and dumped in garbage bins in various areas of the capital,' Marianna Polichroniadou, head of a new citizens' pressure group which includes lawyers, actors and politicians, told a news conference. ... Polichroniadou said strays were killed in three waves this year -- before the Greek presidency of the European Union, during an EU summit in April and in August when people were away on holiday."

Blocks, Procs and Lambdas
Date: Jan 22, 2015
Ruby's Methods
Before start talking about Blocks, Procs and Lambdas, maybe it is worth to see why ruby is called an "Object-Oriented" Language
While I was learning about how to use ruby's Class, it becomes NOT so clear that why we use Class and why it is so special? And why suddenly everyone talks about 'object oriented language'? When I deal with String and Fixnum - this was much easier for me to undertnad that 'object' means. Objects have behavior and may contain data, data to which they alone control access.
Blocks
Blocks are one of ruby's most powerful features. In fact, blocks are actually a type of 'syntax' in the ruby language. They are a little bit different from objects and method definitions. Blocks are one of the very few exceptions to the "everything is an object" rule in Ruby. Blocks are not objects, and they can't be saved to variables. block can be expressed by 'do...end' or { }. Passing blocks is one way to pass functions as arguments to other functions. The difference is that the curly braces have a higher priority inside of the ruby interpreter.
# example 1
def print(&block)
puts "hello world"
block.call
end
puts print{puts "hello again"}
# example 2
def some_adding(a, b, my_proc)
my_block.call(a, b)
end
add = proc { |x, y| x + y }
some_adding(8, 9, add) #=> 25
# The block is expressed with '&'. It doesn't execute unless you 'call' them
# The proc add is passed as a parameter to the method some_adding.
This example itself isn't very useful unless we like to explore many different ways to print out stuff. The reason block is a powerful tool is that there are many useful 'keywords' like 'BEGIN', 'END', 'rescue', 'raise' and 'ensure'. Let's see some examples
# EXAMPLE 1. rescue, ensure, raise, BEGIN and END
def header(&block)
puts "I am a header"
block.call
# rescue block will rescue from 'raised' error thus error message will not be printed
rescue
puts "This is a rescue!!"

This is the last sentence
THIS IS END BLOCK
Here is also way to use begin-end block. It can be expressed as a simple block of code.
Yield
You invoke a block by using the yield statement. You can pass the argument(parameters) for invoking the block. Let's see the example. In this example, 'name' is given as a parameters for invoking call_name block. You can pass as many parameters you wish and it can be used in block between two pipes("||", in this case "|name|").
def call_name(&block)
puts "What is your name?"
yield name = gets.chomp
end
call_name { |name|
puts "Your name in upcase is #{name.upcase}"
puts "Your name is #{name}"
}
=>
What is your name?
sarah
Your name in upcase is SARAH
Your name is sarah
The great thing about 'yield' statment is that it gives control of the current method over the block that is passed in. Yield can also be used to send a variable value in to, or out of, a block of code. It also does not change the original variable so although the 'name' variable is same it will not upcase the original name 'sarah'.
# Example3. This is how we can use block in real life
class Speech
attr :title
def initialize
print "What is the speech title?"
@title = gets.chomp
@lines = []
while add_line
puts "Line added."
end
end
def add_line
puts "Add line: (blank line to exit)"
line = gets.chomp
if line.length > 0
@lines << line
return line
else
return nil
end
end
def each(&block)
@lines.each { |line| yield line }
end
end
my_speech = Speech.new
my_speech.each {|line| puts "#{my_speech.title} : #{line}" }
=>
What is the speech title?Test Speech
Add line: (blank line to exit)
Sarah is awesome person.
Line added.
Add line: (blank line to exit)
Sarah is going to be an awesome programmer.
Line added.
Add line: (blank line to exit)
Test Speech : Sarah is awesome person.
Test Speech : Sarah is going to be an awesome programmer.
One very important lesson here. If you forget to put attr :title, this code will not run and give you error on undefined local veriable or method 'title'. Very important to put attr reader if you want to call the method outside of the class.
Procs and Lambdas
Proc objects are blocks of code that can be bound to a set of local variables. You can think of a proc object as a "saved" block.
They are blocks of code that can be assigned to variables. Proc (short for Process) is more meaningful and broad concept including blocks and lambdas. Therefore many rubist write in uupcase 'Procs' but in lowercase 'blocks' and 'lambdas'. It is also because blocks and lambdas do not have their own class.
#How to create procs
my_proc = Proc.new {} # or
=> #< Proc:0x007fa2790e5dd0@(irb):15 >
my_proc = proc # No argument will cause Argument Error.
=> ArgumentError: tried to create Proc object without a block
my_proc = proc {}
=> #< Proc:0x007fa278b1ecf8@(irb):18 >
multifying = proc { |x| x.inject(&:+) }
multifying.call([1,2,3]) #=> 6proc_square_number = proc { |x| x * x }
proc_sum_array = proc { |x| x.inject(&:+) }
#How to create lambdas
my_lambda = lambda {} # or
my_lambda -> lambda {} #'skinny arrow' can be used to create lambdas
=> #< Proc:0x007fa278b2fdf0@(irb):20 (lambda) > #Difference when you create lambda is that it will say (lambda).
Here is a example of using skinny lambda in model scope. The important component is the "-> {}"
So why use Procs and lambda? Basically they are 'keywords'. Proc objects are blocks of code that have been bound to a set of local variables. Once bound, the code may be called in different contexts and still access those variables. This is probably how Ruby's class and its instance variables are set.
class AddressBook
def initialize(&block)
yield self if block_given?
end
def set_variable
return proc { |kind, value| [kind, value].join(": ") }
end
def name(value)
@name = set_variable.call "Name", value
end
def phone_number(value)
@phone_number= set_variable.call "Phone_Number", value
end
def e_mail(value)
@e_mail = set_variable.call "E-Mail", value
end
def display
puts @name
puts "_____________"
puts @phone_number
puts "_____________"
puts @e_mail
puts "_____________"
end
end
brian_addressbook = AddressBook.new { |a|
a.name "Brian theDog"
a.phone_number "777-666-5555"
a.e_mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>}
brian_addressbook.display
=>
Name: Brian theDog
_____________
Phone_Number:<PHONE_NUMBER>
_____________
E-Mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>_____________
Difference between procs and lambda is that when you call
procs : It returns from inside of procs
lambdas : It has diminutive return like Ruby. While proc return will stop a method and return the value provided (inside of the proc), lambdas will return their value TO the method and let the method continues on.
def procs_return
variable = proc {return "I am procs and this is from the inside of procs"}
variable.call
return "This is from outside of the procs_return method"
end
def lambdas_return
variable = lambda {return "I am lambda and this is from the inside of lambda"}
variable.call
return "This is from outside of the lambda_return method"
end
puts procs_return
puts "___________"
puts lambdas_return
=>
I am procs and this is from the inside of procs
___________
This is from outside of the lambda_return method
# proc will return inside of proc
# lambda will continue the method and return the final return
Closure
Blocks, Procs and Lambdas are closures in Ruby. Closure is a function/method that can be passed around like an object and remembers the value of variables no longer in scope.

Parrot is a (very) small Swift framework that helps with advertising an iOS device as an iBeacon as well as monitoring/ranging for iBeacons.
🎙 Broadcasting an iBeacon Signal
Parrot allows you to turn your device into an iBeacon by doing the following:
let uuid = UUID(string: "E621E1F8-C36C-495A-93FC-0C247A3E6E5F")!
let beaconAdvertiser = BeaconAdvertiser(uuid: uuid, identifier: "com.myCompany.BeaconIdentifier", params: .none)
beaconAdvertiser.startAdvertising { advertiser, state in
print("State: \(state) for \(advertiser)")
}
🔊 Determining the Proximity to an iBeacon
Parrot also allows you to very easily determine the proximity to an iBeacon by doing the following:
let uuid = UUID(string: "E621E1F8-C36C-495A-93FC-0C247A3E6E5F")!
let beaconMonitor = BeaconMonitor(uuid: uuid, identifier: "com.myCompany.BeaconIdentifier", params: .none)
beaconMonitor.startMonitoring(
onProximityUpdate: { monitor, proximity in
print("Proximity: \(proximity) for \(monitor)")
},
onError: { error in
print("Error occured: \(error)")
}
)
🛠 Installation
Parrot is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod "Parrot"
Parrot is also available through Carthage. Add this to your Cartfile:
github "gonzalonunez/Parrot"

In this example we’ll build a relatively simple choice reaction time experiment. On any given trial, the participant will be presented with a blue circle or an orange circle, and will respond by pressing the “F” or “J” keys. It is almost identical to the demonstration experiment used in the jsPsych documentation.
library(ggplot2)
# where should the images be stored initially?
resources <- temporary_folder()
blue_image <- file.path(resources, "blue.png")
orange_image <- file.path(resources, "orange.png")
# create the blue circle plot
blue_pic <- ggplot() + theme_void() +
annotate(geom = "point", x = 0, y = 0, colour = "blue", size = 60)
# create the orange circle plot
orange_pic <- ggplot() + theme_void() +
annotate(geom = "point", x = 0, y = 0, colour = "orange", size = 60)
# save the images to files in the resource folder
ggsave(filename = blue_image, plot = blue_pic, width = 2, height = 2)
ggsave(filename = orange_image, plot = orange_pic, width = 2, height = 2)
# check that it worked

The series so far:
There are two approaches that I have used to design JMeter tests: Server-Simulator and User-Simulator
A throughput simulator approach is used to stress test the CTP system. It is based on the idea that the throughput is the only parameter that must remain constant across client (JMeter) and server (CTP). Thus the test infrastructure must provably be able to produce this amount of load. Also this approach makes a few assumptions on the system under test. In particular the mean time between requests must be known and is expected to be stable i.e. with low variance. This time will include server latency, but will typically be bound by user ‘processing’ times. For this reason this ap-proach is sensitive to the user session length. To elaborate, consider the following equation: • SC = SL / UL o SL, the target throughout/load on the server o UL, the load produce per user i.e. UR / US UR, user requests per session US, user session length Therefore, • SC = SL x UR / US Changing the number of user requests in a user session might semantically alter the workflow. This in turn could invali-date the state-machine of the application, which has the potential to introduce functional error and/or livelock condi-tions. So if we alter the length of the user session i.e. make it much shorter, we will significantly reduce the number of user-managing-threads. These threads are distinguish from user-threads as the latter exist on a one-to-one thread-to-user basis; A single user-managing-thread can process any given number of users, albeit one after the other. This approach may have the disadvantage of losing fidelity in user behaviour, but it provides two major benefits: much less threads are used, causing a smaller memory footprint and much less CPU utilization. Hence a single commodity testing resource is sufficient and much less disruptive. An experiment configured this way can also run indefinitely, due to the user-managing-threads aspect. Both approaches will exhibit the same behaviour in the event of server performance degradation: functional errors will show as non-zero percentage errors; server-thread exhaustion will also show as non-zero percentage errors; most other events will manifest as a drop off in the overall throughput.
Next I will go through ...; when it is ready you can read that blog here. Cheers

Two related language features assist us in designing and organizing large programs - closures, modules and namespaces.
A closure (also lexical closure or function closure) is a function or reference to a function together with an environment - a table storing a reference to each of the non-local variables (free variables) of that function. A closure enables a function to access those non-local variables even when invoked outside its immediate lexical scope.
The following program defines a closure that contain an environment with a binding for an integer variable and a function that increments this variable on each invocation:
function counter(n)
^{ n = n + 1;
n };
let a = counter(0);
let b = counter(10);
a();
//=> 1
b();
//=> 11
Closures can be used to implement objects that respond to messages. This is achieved by making the closure to accept a symbolic argument. The following program defines an object:
function make_kid(name, age)
^(message)
| 'name? -> name
| 'age? -> age;
let a = make_kid("sam", 10);
let b = make_kid("susan", 8);
a('name?);
//=> sam
a('age?);
//=> 10
b('name?);
//=> susan
b('age?);
//=> 8
We can also use the dot-notation to pass "messages" to a closure:
a.name?;
//=> sam
b.age?;
//=> 8
In addition to local variables, a closure can refer to local functions as well. Consider an updated version of counter
that is extended with the ability to reset itself to a specified value:
function counter(n)
{ function reset(new_n) if (new_n >= 0) n = new_n;
^(@optional message)
| 'reset -> reset
| _ -> { n = n + 1;
n }};
let a = counter(10);
a();
//=> 11
a();
//=> 12
a.reset(0);
a();
//=> 1
a();
//=> 2
A module is a logical grouping of related definitions. Modules are first-class objects - they can be passed as arguments to functions and functions can create and return new modules.
A module statement has the following form:
module <module_name> (<exported_names>) <module_body>;
Exported_names is a comma separated list of identifiers. These identifiers must refer to top-level definitions in module_body.
From outside the module, an exported name is accessed using the notation `module_name.exported_name
`.
Here is an example module that define three names and export two of them:
module abc (a, c)
{ function a(x) sqrt(x);
let b = 3.14;
function c(y) y * y * b };
The functions a and c are accessible from outside the module:
abc.a(100);
//=> 10
abc.c(10);
//=> 314.
abc.b;
//-> error: name_not_found b
Local bindings may be introduced for module names for easier and faster access to them:
let a, c = abc.a, abc.c;
a(100);
//=> 10
c(10);
//=> 314.
A module may choose to export a definition using a different name. In the following program, the definition of c is exported with the more descriptive name area:
module abc (a, area:c)
{ function a(x) sqrt(x);
let b = 3.14;
function c(y) y * y * b };
abc.area(1000);
//=> 3140000.
abc.c(10);
//->error: name_not_found c
All names defined in a module can be exported using a `_` as shown below:
module m(_)
{ function f(x) x * 10
function g(x) x + 10
function h(x) x };
m.f(2);
//=> 20
m.g(2);
//=> 12
m.h(2);
//=> 2
If some of the names needs to be excluded, they must be specified in a list after the `_`:
module m(_, [g])
{ function f(x) x * 10
function g(x) x + 10
function h(x) x };
m.f(2);
//=> 20
m.g(2);
//-> error: name_not_found
m.h(2);
//=> 2
A namespace group definitions under a common name prefix. The following program shows a namespace with two definitions - a function
named f
and a variable named g
.
namespace abc
{ function f(x) x*2
let g = 100 }
All top-level definitions in a namespace can be accessed by prefixing the definition by namespace_name::
. Namespaces also satisfy
the interface for hashtables for accessing values. So their members can be destructured and accessed by let
statements and letseq
expressions.
abc::f(10)
//=> 20
abc::g
//=> 100
// bind namespace variable to globals:
let #{f, g} = abc
f(100)
//=> 200
g * 20
//=> 2000
// bind namespace variable and rename them:
let #{'f:ff, 'g:gg} = abc
ff(100)
//=> 200
gg * 20
//=> 2000
// a less preferred way to access namespace members:
abc['f](10)
//=> 20
Namespace and modules offer similar functionality but their internal representations and access mechanisms are different. Which one to prefer is largely a matter of personal taste. Large collections of definitions are normally grouped under a namespace. Modules are ideal for interacting with a smaller, well-defined interface. Note that a namespace can define and export a module and a module can export a namespace. Examples of both are shown below:
namespace n
{ module m(a)
function a() 'hello }
(n::m).a()
//=> hello
module m (xyz)
namespace xyz
{ function b() 'hi }
m.xyz::b();
//=> hi

CommunityI know this may be pushing things a little too far - but just imagine, for a moment if you can, that your Parish church was simply the best place to be - a place where the whole community could meet, enjoy one another's company, establish friendships and have a real sense of belonging. Would this be a place which you might want to be a part of? Well, this is the sort of picture that stirs my imagination and, as a Vicar, sets my pulse racing. I would say, humbly, that it excites God too because his aim in human history is the creation of an inclusive community of loving people, with himself as its primary sustainer and most glorious inhabitant. There's a little book called 'The All Better Book', in which young children try to solve the world's knottiest problems: what to do about the ozone layer, how to eradicate poverty! But by far the toughest question is this: How could we figure out a system where no one is lonely? Listen to some of the children's remarkable responses: "Make food that talks to you when you eat. For instance, it would say, "How are you doing?" and "What happened to you today?" (Max aged 9) By far the most touching was this one from Brian aged 8, "Sing a song. Stamp your feet. Read a book" (Sometimes I think no one loves me, so I do one of these). I believe that community is what we have been created for - it is certainly God's desire for life and an indispensable condition for human flourishing. Some statistics have proved that people who have poor health habits but strong social ties lived significantly longer than people who had great health habits but were isolated. As Christian author, John Ortberg says, "It is better to eat deep fried crisps with good friends than to eat broccoli alone!" I've been here just a year now and my passion, along with many members of the Church, is to develop a pastoral policy that demonstrates the love of God (the Christmas chocolate was an attempt to do that). I did say in a previous article that I would be only too happy to visit you or meet with you. From July, I aim to hold two pastoral surgeries on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. Please, if you would like to talk, then just phone the Parish Office and make an appointment. It could be for a wedding or baptism or just for a chat.

Papa Pete opened his first pizzaria in 1955 in Pitsburg Pennsylvania. It was a family-run operation. He recruited the help of his three sons Chuck, Mike and Bob as the chefs after they had successfully mastered the family recipe. Pete's only daughter, Patty, worked spread the word of their restaurant throughout the city. Papa Pete's became the go-to place for quality pizza for all of Pitsburg.
Tragically, the mom and pop pizza shop burned down in 1960. Luckily, no one was hurt. However, there is a stirring family debate on if it was Bob or Mike that caused the fire. It seems the mystery may go unsolved.
It took the family a few years, but in the summer of 1963 they reopened their doors. Papa Pete's Pizza made national headlines as the "come-back business of the decade" with record sales in not only pizza but also merchandise. The memorable Papa Pete logo made it's mark on a generation of pizza enthusiasts.
