Each turn involves one player throwing two model pigs, each of which has a dot on one side. The player gains or loses points based on the way the pigs land. Each turn lasts until the player throwing either rolls the pigs in a way that wipes out their current turn score, wipes out their total game score, or decides to stop their turn, add their turn score to their total score and pass the pigs to the next player. The winner is the first player to reach a predetermined total score.

It's an undergraduate research opportunity program(UROP), which aims to provide some research experience for undergraduate students
The goal of this project is to develop a website that can provide information about passengers flow in the campus especially restaurants and bus stations. The observation of population is based on WiFi connection in this area. Intuitively, larger number of WiFi connection related to crowded area. The is observation is updated every 5 minutes./n Besides observation, I also developed a rough prediction of future population by some naive machine learning methods.
It's a project concentrates on developing a slam system for indoor autonomous driving robots. After trying to merge several sensors in one autonomous system, we decided to use camera as major sensor. I developed a visual odometry system for the robots and some control parts.


Hello! Thanks for playing my little game. Now you know a few things about me. Let's review, and maybe add a couple details.
 Now I'm a single queer mom, too, with the most amazing seven year old named Oliver.  Some favorites are wood burning, wool felting, painting with various media including blood, and carving. I also LOVE cooking and eating. Southern U.S. food, Thai food, Midwestern comfort foods, Japanese cuisine, Italian dishes, vegetarian, vegan, meat on meat on meat... let's eat it all!
I've done a good amount of traveling here in the US, mostly by car or bus or train, but have never left the continent. I did go to Toronto to visit friends once, but that was in a different age when you could drive across the border with just your state ID! Some day, I hope to travel the world with my kiddo so he can have a broader scope of experience than I've been able to.

Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity, or brain plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. These changes range from individual neurons making new connections, to systematic adjustments like cortical remapping
- Wikipedia.
When thinking about this term I envisage a mould of plaster a child or a designer might engage with to create something amazing. Taking something that has almost no shape and creating something incredible. By looking at the brain in the same manner that it can be moulded and reformed into what ever the creative imagination can dream provides a sense of confidence that anything is possible.
Many studies have acredited neuroplasticity with the ability of brain “grey matter” to develop and re-wire itself as demonstrated in patients recovering from brain and physical trauma. It proposes that individuals can recover from trauma by re-wiring the brain’s neurons pathways. Demonstrated in experiments on monkeys where hand tendons were severed and brain activity in the zone was almost normal after reconnection where the scientist were expecting chaos.
So while a nice analogy, one that also has a bit of science behind it.
Instead of going to the nearby gardens, Te Houtaewa set off for Ahipara as he wanted to annoy some Te Rarawa people who lived there. Carrying two large baskets for the kumara, he ran like the wind, completing the journey over the hard sands of Te Oneroa a Tohe (Ninety Mile Beach) in the few hours it takes a good hangi to heat up properly. On reaching Ahipara, he went straight to the people's kumara pataka (storehouse for the sweet potatoes) situated at the foot of the hill Whangatauatia.
Having the ability to step outside of one’s comfort zone is a difficult skill to master and engaging with the principals of neuroplasticity uses this skill heavily. I personally know I need to be challenged or I become bored very quickly which can result in an argumentative attitude. I notice the difference in myself both in a positive and motivated attitude as well as increased levels of patience when I am challenged. I believe that engaging with the principals of neuroplasticity would develop myself personally as well as assisting others.

A growth mindset acknowledges that difficult situations help develop a mindset that encourages growth. Pushing ones comfort learning zone boundaries helps great growth rather than a stagnant comfort zone. If an individual believes they do not have the intelligence/ability or ability to complete something then the mindset of that individual is said to be one of “fixed”. This mindest is solidified if those in the environment around them believe and behave in manners that support this assumption. However the reverse is also true and has several studies that support that if an individual is challenged and those around them provide and environment of "not yet" then adventurers in life are more likely to seek to challenge themselves as well as enjoying the process of growth. Therefore believing that all individuals can improve and develop at any stage of their life creates an environment of continuous learning and development (along with some pretty funky ideas).
I thought in more detail about my personal development and acknowledged that I have ignored it for too long. However, undertaking more regular physical exercise has shown a noticed improvement in my physical and mental wellbeing that I was not expecting. It also generated a desire to continue feeling “better”. This was aligned with the contents of the material I reviewed.
1. Be open to new ideas and develop the patience to understand them
2. Be gentle with myself as I know I am my own worst critic and I am very hard on myself
3. Be patient with others to help them develop themselves

STAR TREK: INSURRECTION 1998 A film review by Timothy Voon Copyright 1998 Timothy Voon 3 out of 4 for the crew of the Enterprise
Starring: Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, F. Murray Abraham. Screenplay: Michael Piller. Director: Jonathan Frakes.
There are those of you who will whinge about the fact that INSURRECTION, is just as ordinary as another episode of the successful STTNG franchise. There will be unfair comparisons made to the previous, likely to be more successful, well made, FIRST CONTACT. All of the above may be true, but this is still an enjoyable movie to watch. Then there are those who will complain about the lack of action or special effects. My reply would be, if you want to see special effects visit George Lucas, if you want something more thoughtful and evenly paced, watch STTNG. It is true that the tension is not as great as in FIRST CONTACT, but hey, you can't have a Borg in every movie, and the lack of cliff hanger action is well compensated by light humour and character developments. The dependable cast is a joy to watch although visibly older - especially Counsellor Troi, but appearances are secondary - it's the characters we've come to watch. This movie is a team effort, with an almost even focus on each member of the original cast, unlike FIRST CONTACT, which belonged to Picard. Despite much criticism from others, this is still a fine movie in the vein of what we have come to love and enjoy about the hearty crew of the USS ENTERPRISE.

MEN IN BLACK A film review by George McAdams Copyright 1997 George McAdams
In life's greater scheme, movies sometime take on a life of their own, often overshadowing their actual value to society, which seems especially true for summer blockbusters and action movies. With MEN IN BLACK, also known to those in the know as MIB, the hype-machine practically guaranteed that the movie would fall short. And clocking in at barely over one hour and thirty minutes, it's shorter in more ways than one.
As a buddy movie it lacks buddy-ism. It tries to have the Tommy Lee Jones, as K, and Will Smith, as J, banter about in manners reminiscent of the Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in the "Lethal Weapon" movies, but it doesn't have any "heart" between the two. If anything, MIB is more of an update of "Dragnet" (1987) if it had been produced and directed by the Cohen brothers, with a couple of slimy aliens thrown in. Additionally, there's a moment where we see Jones zero-in, via satellite, a woman working in her garden, but this "touching" twenty seconds is more like the movie hitting a speed bump, rather than a detour down a lane to a heartfelt moment.
On the plus side, the movie does have a great premise: that aliens live on Earth, disguised as humans and other animals, and that Earth is sort of a neutral zone. "Sort of Casablanca, without the Nazi's," as K explains to J, which when you think about it explains the behavior of certain basketball coaches, boxers, and that cousin of yours that doesn't really resemble anyone in your family's tree.
The concept reminds me of an early comic routine used by David Letterman, in which Letterman reasoned that the appearance of aliens on earth is that earth is sort of a "Stuckey's" way stop for the galaxy. And while none of Letterman's jokes were used in MIB, the sharply written dialogue was another of the redeeming qualities of MIB.
While MIB offers a good solid performance by Tommy Lee Jones, a smooth performance by Will Smith, good action sequences, and imaginative set designs, it does not live-up to the hype this movie has promised, and we the viewer has had to endure during the past several months. Had it taken the potential that was there to have more human emotions present, I feel it would have been a better movie.
On a scale of one to four, I give this movie a two. I enjoyed it, and would recommend it to those who want to see a mindless action movie that has some snappy dialogue. However, don't expect to see me standing in line again. The web site for MIB is http://www.meninblack.com. It looks great, but lacks some of the pizzazz of some of the other movie sites have.

SQL INJECT
SQL Injection vulnerability is an occurrence whereby an attacker can submit code through web forms that returns db information that doesn't belong to them. Very naughty.
The attacker submits a command to the database that tricks the application into executing unintededed commands. These may include creating, reading, updating, altering or deleting items from your db.
Examples include:
SELECT * FROM Users WHERE UserId = 105 or 1=1
or
SELECT UserId, Name, Password FROM Users WHERE UserId = 105 or 1=1
This passes into the db as true because 'OR 1=1' is always true, yikes!
Newb Programmers should establish best practices right out of the gate to close vulnerabilities. This step alone takes a huge bite out of crime. After setting good security habits it is also important for web developers to continually update their practices based on the latest known vulnerability and their counter measures.
Here's a handy InfoGraphic I found over at VeraCode on the subject.

Market Drayton festive frenzy 'the best yet'
by Rob SmithMarket Drayton got in the festive spirit early as the traditional Christmas lights switch-on event was hailed as the busiest ever.
The lights around the town were the centrepiece of the annual festival of lights, held in and around Cheshire Street on Saturday.
The official switch-on followed a day full of entertainment which included choir singing, fire eating and a visit from Santa Claus.
Outside the library and under the buttercross, groups including the Grove School's choir Voicebox and the Harmonettes treated shoppers to festive tunes.
There were also vintage vehicles on display in the town centre.
It culminated in the big switch-on at 5pm by mayor Roger Smith and a team from the event sponsors, the Leek United Building Society.
'The best yet'
Town councillor Mike Smith said: "It was very, very busy, the best yet to be fair. Loads more stalls, the music side was good, the old transport items added interest. Overall a really good day."
Town clerk Julie Jones agreed that the event was one of their busiest ever, if not the busiest.
"It went really well, it was very, very busy," she said.
"Lots of entertainment, it all went down well.
"The singers were all very good, the switch-on was very busy.
"We got lucky with the weather, just about. It was a reasonable day.
"The feedback we've had was very positive."
She said that through the rest of the year the Christmas lights in the town will come on at about 2pm every day.


The term open source describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials. Some consider open source a philosophy, others consider it a pragmatic methodology. Before the term open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; open source gained hold with the rise of the Internet, and the attendant need for massive retooling of the computing source code. Opening the source code enabled a self-enhancing diversity of production models, communication paths, and interactive communities. Subsequently, the new phrase "open-source software" was born to describe the environment that the new copyright, licensing, domain, and consumer issues created.
JSF 2 brings many beneficial features over JSF 1.2. There is a wealth of JSF 2 documentation available on-line, but the high points are enumerate below.


In the concurrent model of computation, a program is organized as a composition of several autonomous activities or tasks. A web server that handle thousands of clients at once is an example of a concurrent program. Concurrency is also essential for programs that interact with their environment, e.g games and GUI programs.
Slogan support three styles of concurrent programming. The first is declarative concurrency, which enable us to apply simple functional reasoning techniques for verifying the correctness of concurrent programs. The second style of concurrent programming is based on the Actor model. Here the concurrent tasks work towards a common goal by doing independent computation and communicating with each other by asynchronous message passing. Slogan also support imperative multi-tasking, based on shared memory and locks. The first few sections of this chapter will cover the various forms of concurrent programming supported by Slogan.
Two concurrent tasks are executing parallely if they are scheduled to run on two separate hardware processors. Two separate tasks may also be made to share a single core, by time-sharing. Depending on the implementation, a Slogan task may share computing resources with other tasks or it may run on an independent processor. The task abstraction is high-level and do not give the programmer much control on how an individual task is scheduled.
Slogan has a parallel programming facility designed to help programmers take direct advantage of the multiple cores they may have on their computers. The parallel programming facility, which is also based on a simple model of message-passing, will be discussed in the last section of this chapter.
Units of concurrent program execution are known as tasks. A new task is created and started by the
task function. It takes a function as argument, which will be called from the newly launched task.
The spawn operator (!
) also starts a new task.
The expression following the spawn operator will be evaluated in a new task.
Both the task
function and the spawn operator return an object that represents the new task. This object can be used to
perform operations like sending asynchronous messages to the task, prematurely terminating the task etc.
The task will finish running and its resources will be released once the function or expression used to start it is fully evaluated. If an error is thrown by during the execution of the task and it is un-handled within the task's body, then the task will terminate immediately.
The next program defines a simple task that runs forever. It prints the message "hello" to the output stream, sleeps for 2 seconds and loops-back to print the message again. (If you are running this from the REPL, press Ctrl+C to terminate the process and get out of the loop).
task(^() letfn loop ()
{ showln("hello")
task_sleep(2)
loop() })
//> hello
hello
hello ...
The same program can be written using the spawn operator as shown below:
!letfn loop ()
{ showln("hello")
task_sleep(2)
loop() }
//> hello
hello
hello ...
The programs we wrote in the previous chapters were all deterministic. That means, for a given input the computation will always pass through the same steps and states to reach a final state that can be predicted before-hand. This property do not hold true once we have concurrently executing tasks in our program. In other words, execution of concurrent tasks are inherently nondeterministic. This is because, concurrency introduces a choice after each computation step, i.e. the choice of which task to run next.
The choice of which thread to execute next is done by a part of the system known as the scheduler. At each computation step, the scheduler picks one among all the ready tasks to execute next. We say a task is ready or runnable, if its has all the information it needs to execute at least one computation step. A task that do not have this information is said to be suspended.
To better understand nondeterminism, let us revisit the bank account example from the chapter about state and modularity.
Basically, a bank account is a closure that responds to deposit
and withdraw
messages and update the balance
accordingly. An example transaction on a bank account with opening balance 100
is shown below:
let account = make_bank_account(100)
account.deposit(150)
account.withdraw(200)
account.deposit(300)
account.deposit(400)
account.withdraw(200)
account.balance // 100 + 150 - 200 + 300 + 400 - 200
// 550
Now let us see what will happen if we introduce concurrency into the program, where each update is performed in a separate task:
let account = make_bank_account(100)
{ !account.deposit(150)
!account.withdraw(200)
!account.deposit(300)
!account.deposit(400)
!account.withdraw(200) }
account.balance
// ???
As we are running only a few tasks here, the account balance may still be 550
, but there is no guarantee for that. What if the first
task is not immediately scheduled for running? The second withdraw
call may run instead, resulting in an error. Then the next two
deposits
may execute followed by the last withdraw
. After this the first withdraw
may be scheduled to run
at last. What will be the balance now? It would be 750
if the scheduler ran the tasks exactly as we
described above. But the scheduler is free to prioritize any task above others and the result may be something else. We can try to simulate the above
scenario by asking the first task to suspend itself for a few seconds. This can be achieved by calling the
task_sleep
function.
let account = make_bank_account(100)
{ !{ task_sleep(3); account.deposit(150) }
!account.withdraw(200)
!account.deposit(300)
!account.deposit(400)
!account.withdraw(200) }
account.balance
// 750???
What we have here is a race condition, a situation in which the program does not give the correct result for some
interleaving of the operations of multiple tasks. Now this may seem rather harmless. If the first withdraw
can be
tried again, we will end-up with the expected balance of 550
. But think of another situation where the first calls to
deposit
and withdraw
was executed in order and the current balance is now 50
. Next the task to
deposit 300
is scheduled to run. It read the current balance into memory and just then it got suspended by the
scheduler. The next task to deposit 400
executes now. It runs to completion and the balance is now 450
.
Now the previous deposit
task is scheduled to run again. It proceeds to add 300
to the current balance (as
it saw) and the final balance in the account is now 350
. The deposit of 400
is lost forever! This is a specific
instance of a race condition known as a data race where competing tasks end up with corrupt or invalid data.
To prevent race conditions, we need some mechanism for tasks to communicate with each other and synchronize their activities. The next few sections will explore how to do this and make concurrent programs more deterministic.
What does it mean for a concurrent program to be declarative? As we already saw, the result a concurrent program can produce is dependent on the order of task scheduling. We say a concurrent program is declarative, if for multiple executions with the same input, it either (1) do not terminate or (2) it eventually reaches a point where it produce results that are equivalent.
The simplest way to write concurrent declarative programs is by using reactive variables. A reactive variable is different from a normal variable in that it can be created in an unbound state and at a later point in time, bound to some value. A reactive variable can be bound only to a single value. Any further attempts to bind a different value to the reactive variable will fail. A task trying to get the value of a reactive variable will be suspended until the variable is bound.
The following program shows how a reactive variable is used to communicate a value between two tasks. Later we will see how reactive variables enable us to design concurrent programs that are declarative by the definitions we saw above.
let r = ? // an unbound reactive variable
!showln(?r) // the task will wait until the `r` is bound to a value
?r = 100
//> 100
The assignment done to the reactive variable is atomic. It means, while one task is updating the value of a reactive variable, the system will prevent other tasks from accessing it. Once a reactive variable is updated, it effectively becomes a read-only variable, no further updates are allowed on it.
Let us write a more complex concurrent program designed around reactive variables. Consider a program where we have
a producer and a consumer. The producer creates a stream of values. The consumer will take each
value from the stream and does some computation with it. We a have simple producer in the following program, where the stream consists of
integers in a range. We have introduced a sleep before adding a new integer to the stream to simulate the effect of the producer doing some
long computation. On the generated stream, we apply a function, print the result and also construct a new stream of all the results. This is
achieved by calling the map
function.
function producer(a, b)
if (a < b)
{ task_sleep(2)
a:producer(a+1, b) }
else []
function consumer_callback(x)
let (r = sqrt(x))
{ showln(r)
r }
let xs = producer(1, 5)
let ys = map(consumer_callback, xs)
//> 1
1.4142135623730951
1.7320508075688772
2
ys
// [1, 1.4142135623730951, 1.7320508075688772, 2]
As you run this program, you observe that map
has to wait for 10 seconds before it could start processing any values.
Is it possible to start any useful computation as soon as there are values available in the producer's stream? We update the producer
as shown below.
function producer(a, b, r)
if (a < b)
let (r2 = ?)
{ task_sleep(2)
?r = a:r2
producer(a+1, b, r2) }
else ?r = []
function consumer(r)
let (v = ?r)
if (is_empty(v)) []
else let (result = sqrt(head(v)))
{ showln(result)
result:consumer(tail(v)) }
Instead of constructing the stream as a plain list of integers, the new producer will run in its own task and construct pairs of integers and reactive variables. The consumer can bind to the head of this stream, which itself is represented by a reactive variable. As soon as this variable is bound, the consumer can start doing its work.
We can see the consumer
kicking-in as soon as a value is ready in the producer's stream:
let r = ?
!producer(1, 5, r)
consumer(r)
//> 1
1.4142135623730951
1.7320508075688772
2
// [1, 1.4142135623730951, 1.7320508075688772, 2]
Reactive variables are a means to synchronize the activities of multiple tasks. A task may still execute their computations independently of others, but when it reaches a point where it expects some event to have already happened, it should suspend itself. How can it be notified when the event really happens? By waiting for a reactive variable to be bound! We shall apply this technique to the bank transactions example we saw earlier. We enforce the order in the transactions using reactive variables:
let r1, r2, r3, r4 = ?, ?, ?, ?
let account = make_bank_account(100)
{ !{ task_sleep(3); account.deposit(150); ?r1 = true }
!when (?r1) { account.withdraw(200); ?r2 = true }
!when (?r2) { account.deposit(300); ?r3 = true }
!when (?r3) { account.deposit(400); ?r4 = true }
!when (?r4) account.withdraw(200) }
// wait for 3 seconds...
account.balance
// 550
In this example, the tasks have been effectively serialized, losing the benefit of concurrency. But in practice, this need not be the case.
Each task may proceed to do other stuff concurrently after setting the reactive variable to true
and unblocking the next task in queue.
Reactive variables can help us design concurrent programs that exist completely outside the dimension of time. In other words, a concurrent
program can be written in such a way that it is not constrained by how time flows within or outside the system. To make this clear, let us consider
the example of a solver for the simple equation z = x + y
. Imagine the solver as a creature moving around in space with three sensors
attached to it. Each of the sensors can detect the values for x
, y
and z
transmitted by other creatures
that float around the solver. Each creature exists in its own parallel world and the solver cannot predict in advance which sensor will be activated
and in what order. But as soon as it has enough values, it should be able to solve the equation and bring itself into a consistent state.
We can express the solver as a function that tries to find the value of all variables in the equation with whatever information it has at any point in time. Once it has solved the equation for a given set of values, it displays its current state and goes back to solve for the next couple of values detected by the sensors. Each sensor is represented by a reactive variable.
function solver()
{ // Each variable is solved in its own task because the
// solver do not know in which order the sensors gets activated.
!?z = ?x + ?y
!?x = ?z - ?y
!?y = ?z - ?x
flush_sensors()
solver() }
// Display the values of all variables and reset
// the sensors.
function flush_sensors()
{ showln(#{'x:?x, 'y:?y, 'z:?z})
x = ?
y = ?
z = ? }
// Initialize the sensors and start the solver.
let x, y, z = ?, ?, ?
!solver()
// Now the sensors will start detecting values in random order and trigger the solver:
?x = 100
?y = 40
//> #{x:100, y:40, z:140}
?y = 50
?z = 60
//> #{x:10, y:50, z:60}
Message passing is a programming style in which a program consists of independent entities that interact by sending each other messages asynchronously, i.e., without waiting for a reply. This programming style was first studied by Carl Hewitt in the actor model. Message passing is important in artificial intelligence programming using multi-agent system frameworks. Each agent is an independent unit of communication working towards some local goal. If they can interact properly, the agents can also reach some global goal, working together. The message passing agents can be used to build highly reliable systems. Since the agents are independent, one can take over the work of another, if that one fails.
In Slogan, the message passing agents are represented by tasks. A task has a mailbox attached to it where it can receive messages from other tasks. The following program shows a simple agent which echoes back whatever message is sent to it:
let echo = !{let sender:message = task_receive(); task_send(sender, message)}
task_send(echo, self():'hello)
task_receive()
// hello
The echo task expects the message to be a pair of the sender task object and the message itself. The sender task object is required for
sending back the reply. The sender calls the self
function to get the handle to the current task object.
Slogan define two operators for receiving and sending messages. The !>
operator is used to send
a message to a task. Unlike the task_send
function, the !>
operator will return the
message that was sent. The !<
operator is used to retrieve the next message from the
current task's mailbox. Utilizing these operators, we can rewrite the above example more compactly:
let echo = !{let sender:message = !<; sender !> message}
echo !> self():'hello
// <task>:hello
!<
// hello
Tasks work together by exchanging messages in coordinated ways. It is interesting to study what kinds of coordination are important. This leads us to define a protocol as a sequence of messages between two or more parties that can be understood at a higher level of abstraction than just its individual messages. Let us take a closer look at two simple messaging protocols and see how to realize them with task objects.
The most basic protocol we can come up with is based on the request-reply messaging pattern. In this pattern, a client task will send a request to a server task and the server will respond with some result. If the computation on the server takes too long to perform, it can send back an acknowledgment token that the client can use to fetch the result later.
Here we will implement only the simple case. The server we are going to write can handle multiple clients simultaneously, by spawning a sub-task for each request. A client can also send multiple requests to the server because the message send operation is non-blocking. So here is the definition of the server and client functions:
function server()
let (client:reqid:reqbody = !<)
{ !handle_client(client, reqid, reqbody)
server() }
function handle_client(client, reqid, n)
client !> reqid:sqrt(n)
function client()
let (c = self())
{ s !> c:1:10
s !> c:2:34
s !> c:3:12
list(!<, !<, !<) }
The server expects the client to send its request in the format: client_task_object:request_id:request_body
.
The request_body
must be a number. Once it receives a request, the server will spawn a new task to handle it and goes
back to accept the next request. The client handler function will find the square root of the number and send it back to the client
along with the request_id
. The sample client will send three requests in succession and return
their responses in a single list.
Here is how we would use our client-server pair:
let s = !server()
client()
// [1:3.1622776601683795, 2:5.830951894845301, 3:3.4641016151377544]
Can you figure out how the client will behave if the server crashes before it can serve all requests? To find out, let us rewrite the server in such a way that it will fail intermittently.
function server()
let (client:reqid:reqbody = !<)
{ when (is_zero(random_integer(2)))
{ showln("server: i am dying!")
raise("aaaah!") }
!handle_client(client, reqid, reqbody)
server() }
If we run the client again you may see this behavior if there are no other tasks running in the system:
let s = !server()
client()
//> server: i am dying!
//> error: Deadlock detected
If there are other tasks running in the system, the call to client
will just hang forever, waiting for a response to come.
We can make the client more robust by calling the task_receive
function with a timeout
and a default value. If a response is not received before the timeout expires, the client will assume the server is dead and return the default
value. It will never crash or hang the task it is running in.
function client()
let (c = self())
{ s !> c:1:10
s !> c:2:34
s !> c:3:12
let r = ^() task_receive(.5, 0)
list(r(), r(), r()) }
Now, if the server is down, it is dead forever, unless someone restarts it. It is possible to make it self-healing and more resilient to failures. In a future chapter we will see how to deal with failure conditions more gracefully.
Let us look at another interesting pattern in which a server pushes updates to a set of clients. Data is pushed as a continuous stream and any client that connects to the server can read the stream, starting from that point in time.
The server we are going to write models an application that sends out stock market
ticks to investors. Each tick
has the format [symbolic_name_of_company, timestamp_of_tick, tick_value]
. A new tick is generated every 2 seconds.
The code for the server is shown below.
function tick_server(clients)
let (c = task_receive(2, false))
{ when (c) clients = c:clients
for_each(^(c) c !> new_tick(), clients)
tick_server(clients) }
let symbols = ['XYZ, 'ABC, 'HIJ]
function new_tick()
[random_at(symbols), floor(now_seconds()), random_real()]
function random_at(xs)
xs[random_integer(length(xs))]
Multiple clients can connect to a running instance of the tick server. Each of them will be served a separate stream of ticks.
function tick_client(server, name)
{ server !> self()
letfn loop ()
{ showln(name, ": ", !<)
loop() }}
let s = !tick_server([])
!tick_client(s, "1")
!tick_client(s, "2")
//> 1: [HIJ,<PHONE_NUMBER>., .2876463473845367]
1: [ABC,<PHONE_NUMBER>., .013863292728449427]
2: [HIJ,<PHONE_NUMBER>., .8162050798467028]
2: [HIJ,<PHONE_NUMBER>., .11536616785362432]
1: [XYZ,<PHONE_NUMBER>., .7824845469456133]
2: [HIJ,<PHONE_NUMBER>., .15957494643321002]
1: [HIJ,<PHONE_NUMBER>., .209029373358495]
Exercise 8.1. A client connecting to the server will receive all ticks that are published. What if the client is interested
only in ticks associated with the symbol 'HIJ
. What if another client wants to see only those ticks
generated every 10 seconds? A task can sit between the client and server and filter the stream for the client.
The client then talks only to the filter task and not directly to the server. Implement the pipeline just described.
In the preceding sections we explored how to write concurrent programs that don't dabble with mutable objects shared between tasks. But some problems may require to maintain a shared state that will be accessed and modified by multiple tasks. In the bank account example at the beginning of this chapter, we learned that this will lead to a race condition, if the access to the shared state is not properly serialized. We can enforce serialization by making tasks wait on reactive variables, but this can lead to broken programs if clients of the bank account object fails to do the serialization properly. Another way to avoid the race condition is by allowing only one task at a time to access the state variable. This is achieved through mutual exclusion, which we discuss in this section.
A mutex
is an object that can be owned only by a single task at a given time. A task claims
ownership of mutex by locking it. The mutex is released when the task that owns it call unlock on it. The code
between the calls to mutex_lock
and
mutex_unlock
is called a critical region. Only the thread that has locked the mutex
can execute the critical region. This means, if a mutation happens in a critical region, it is guaranteed that only one task will be attempting
to do that at a time.
The next program rewrites the bank account in such a way that the changes to the balance happens in a critical region. This is achieved by packaging a mutex inside the closure and doing the assignment to balance after locking this mutex. This happens transparently to the users of a bank account object.
function make_bank_account(balance)
where balance > 0
{ let m = mutex()
function deposit(amount)
{ mutex_lock(m)
balance = balance + amount
mutex_unlock(m) }
function withdraw(amount)
where balance - amount > 0
{ mutex_lock(m)
balance = balance - amount
mutex_unlock(m) }
^(message)
| 'balance -> balance
| 'deposit -> deposit
| 'withdraw -> withdraw }
With critical regions in place, concurrent tasks, updating the same bank account, will not be allowed to step-over the work another task has done. Each task will perform its update on a valid balance and other tasks wanting to make a deposit or withdraw will have to wait until the current ongoing update is finished. Note that the query for the current balance itself is not locked. This may cause a client to see a stale value, but this will never lead to a situation where the balance becomes invalid.
Read and update operations on variables, arrays, strings and hash-tables are not atomic. An application has to avoid write/read and write/write races between tasks through appropriate use of synchronization primitives like the mutex.
The language runtime makes sure that concurrent reads and writes to input/output streams are properly serialized.
Slogan has built-in modules that implement purely functional data structures and software transactional memory. These facilities can greatly ease the development of concurrent programs that need to share state between tasks. You are encouraged to explores these modules.
Now it's time to revisit the time server from Chapter 3. There we had a server which can handle multiple clients, but only one at a time. A new client has to wait for the server to finish serving the currently connected client before it can get its response. With our new-found knowledge about tasks, we can fix the situation. The server sends each client to be handled by a dedicated task and immediately moves on to receive the next incoming connection. As Slogan can efficiently run millions of tasks, the server is limited only by the number of open network connections that the host operating system permits for a process.
Here is the code for our new concurrent time server:
let server = tcp_server_stream(2121)
function client_handler(client)
{ let request = read_line(client)
if (request == "GET TIME")
showln(stream = client, time_to_string(now()))
else
showln(stream = client, "error: invalid request")
close_stream(client) }
function time_server()
let (client = read(server))
{ !client_handler(client)
time_server() }
// start the server
time_server()
// we will never reach here
close_stream(server)
Variables generally have static scope. They can also have dynamic scope with task specific bindings.
Dynamic bindings are established by the letdyn
expression. Dynamic variable names must
follow a certain naming convention – they must begin and end with the percentage character (%
).
The following program shows a function that changes its output based on the dynamic binding
of the variable %abc%
:
let %abc% = 20
function df() %abc% * 100
df()
// 2000
letdyn (%abc% = 5) df()
// 500
df()
// 2000
// a dynamic binding is visible only within the current task:
{ !letdyn (%abc% = 5) showln(df())
!letdyn (%abc% = 10) showln(df()) }
//> 500
//> 1000
Slogan tasks are really light-weight because multiple tasks may share a single hardware processor. There is no way the user can make sure that a newly started task will execute on a dedicated processor. To execute some code on a separate processor, a new set of functions are required. These are the process, process_send and process_receive functions. Together these three functions implement a simple message passing model for multi-core programming.
The following program shows how to execute a computation parallely using the process
abstraction:
function handler(msg)
| ['add, x, y] -> x + y
| _ -> 'invalid_message
let child = process(^(parent)
letfn loop (msg = process_receive(parent))
when (msg <> 'quit)
{ process_send(parent, handler(msg))
loop(process_receive(parent)) })
process_send(child, ['add, 10, 20])
process_send(child, ['sub, 10, 20])
process_receive(child)
// 30
process_receive(child)
// invalid_message
process_send(child, 'quit)
process_close(child)
Once all computations required from a new process is finished, the resources held by it must be released by calling
the process_close
function.
Exercise 8.2. Extend the handler
so that it can also respond to the 'sub
request.
While designing parallel programs using the process
abstraction, keep in mind that the messaging functions process_send
and process_receive
are not optimized to deal with large data. You can get the best out of these functions by using them to
exchange short messages, ideally less than 1KB (1024 bytes) in size. If you want to send a large chunk of data to another process, do that by
passing a "pointer" to that data as a message. This "pointer" should point to a file or a database where the real data is stored.

For reporting concerns about the national curriculum assessments.
Guidance
Guidance for local authorities about how to carry out a school visit, as part of STA’s investigations in relation to maladministration.
This guidance will be updated in April.
The Standards and Testing Agency ( STA ) may ask local authorities ( LAs ) to visit schools as part of our investigations into maladministration in relation to the key stage 1 (KS1) or key stage 2 (KS2) national curriculum assessments. The main purpose of these visits is to gather information about:
Our maladministration investigation procedures explains how we investigate allegations of maladministration.
Visits must be conducted impartially and any conflict of interest must be managed. Anyone responsible for managing or carrying out school visits should not have a close personal relationship with the school or school staff.
If you have any concerns about a potential conflict of interest, contact our maladministration team for advice.
Two members of staff will be needed for the visit: a lead interviewer and a second interviewer to act as a note taker. They must both be familiar with this guidance and our specification for the visit.
To avoid a conflict of interest between STA ’s maladministration investigation (which this school visit supports) and any other internal investigation at the school, it is good practice to use different representatives for each investigation. Where LAs are involved in both investigations, it must be made clear to interviewees which investigation they are being interviewed for.
We will give you a tailored visit specification that describes the requirements for the visit. We will discuss this with you before the visit so you understand in advance what information we need you to gather.
We won’t give you details regarding the source of the allegation(s), as this information is confidential. Information specific to individual cases will remain confidential, subject to compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
You must also treat any information or evidence that is given to you as confidential. This includes information gathered from the school visit, such as interview notes, test timetables, seating plans and written statements. Only members of staff involved in the school visit should have access to this evidence. This is to ensure the integrity of the investigation is not compromised. You must give all information and evidence to our maladministration team.
The lead interviewer should contact the headteacher to:
Depending on the nature of the case, you should explain that the aim of the visit is to gather information on behalf of STA in relation to either:
If the headteacher is not aware of the nature of the allegation, you should explain this will only be shared with them after the interviews have been conducted. This protects the source of the allegation and helps to ensure interviewees provide unbiased accounts. Please make sure the headteacher is aware of our maladministration investigation procedures .
Interviewees may be accompanied during the interview, either by their union representative or by someone else to provide them with moral support. Ask the headteacher whether anyone wishes to be accompanied. If a member of staff requests union representation, you may need to reschedule the visit to accommodate this. The headteacher must make sure there is no conflict of interest with anyone attending in a support role and that those in a support role are not also interviewees.
In exceptional circumstances you may need to interview individual pupils or groups of pupils. This needs our prior approval. If so, the lead interviewer should inform the school as early as possible so the appropriate arrangements can be made. The pupils’ parents must give their consent before the pupils can be interviewed. The term ‘parent’ is used here as defined in section 576 of the Education Act 1996 as:
Parents are entitled to say who they wish to be present when their child is interviewed and where the interview is to take place. It is the headteacher’s responsibility to organise interviews with pupils.
You must meet the headteacher, or a delegated senior member of staff, on your arrival at the school. Use this meeting to introduce yourselves, your role(s) and confirm arrangements for the visit. You must not discuss the detail of the allegation at this point, unless the headteacher is already aware.
The lead interviewer should use the specification provided by us to help provide structure to the interview and to inform the questions asked. It may not be necessary to ask all interviewees each question on the specification. However, you should ensure you have a thorough understanding of each individual’s role in the administration of the tests or check, or in producing teacher assessment judgements.
At the start of each interview:
As with your initial meeting with the headteacher, or senior delegated member of staff, do not discuss the details of the allegation unless they are already known by the school.
At the end of each interview, make sure that the interviewee agrees and signs the notes of the discussion as a true and fair record.
We recommend the headteacher or delegated senior member of staff is interviewed last. After you have asked them the same questions as the other interviewees, you should explain the nature of the allegation. Depending on the nature of the allegation, you may need to:
After you’ve finished your interviews, you must explain the next steps of the investigation to the headteacher or delegated senior member of staff. Explain that you will supply STA with the information gathered during the school visit and that STA will be in contact with the school at a later date. Advise the headteacher or delegated senior member of staff that the school’s results will be suppressed pending the outcome of the investigation.
Please make the headteacher aware they can arrange supervised access to view their pupils’ test papers and provide them with our maladministration team’s contact details .
The lead interviewer must produce a report summarising their findings for our maladministration team. This is STA ’s property. We will share the summary with the school (we will redact personal/identifying information beforehand). The school will then have the opportunity to provide a written response and offer any further information they wish to be included in the investigation.
Our maladministration team will review the report, along with any further information gathered from the school and other additional evidence identified. The case manager will make a recommendation based on all the evidence and a senior STA staff member will decide what, if any, further action is necessary. The maladministration team will inform the school, the LA and the school’s governing body when a decision has been made.
You should contact our maladministration team if you need to manage press interest regarding any maladministration investigation.

Dear Sir/Madam,
How are you doing. I came across your email address and your brief
profile through an email listing affiliated with the US Chamber of
Commerce. I would be very interested in offering you a part-time
paying job in which you could earn alot.
My names are Thomas Daniel Owen Jr. and I am 52 years of age. I just
resigned my job as a research scientist for ARINI(Agricultural
Research Institute of Northern Ireland) and I now work as a freelance
consultant for the instistute which gives me very much time to do my
own work which is basically being a freelance researcher who could
be employed by research institutes to do research projects anywhere
in the world.
Presently, I have just been granted a funding to head a research
project in the tropical regions of West Africa/Asia regarding rare and
vulnerable plant species and this would be commencing very soon.
This research program will be funded and sponsored by some of my
American counterparts and Associates. But the only set back is
that the American counterparts want to make payments for the
research in form of US money orders/ cashier's cheque only and its
a known fact that money in such forms cannot be cashed outside the
US. Getting an accountant in the states or opening an account
would have been my best choice but I have a deadline to meet and
taking any of those choices would cost me time and a whole lot of
other requirements which I am not ready to deal with. This is where
I need to employ your assistance and service.

At this point, I will be glad if you could work with me as my
representative in the US. You will be working as my payment assistant
incharge of collecting and processing the payments from my Associates.
Since they will be making the payment in Money orders/ Cashier checks
made payable only in the US, you will be collecting this payments and
cashing them on my behalf. On agreement to been my representative in
the US, you will receive a commission of 10% of whatever amount of
payment you receive from my associates.

3. Deduct 10% which will be your commission/percentage on Payment
processed.
4. You are to remit the balance via Money Gram or Western Union Money
Transfer according to my instruction.
HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?
10% from each transaction! For instance: On receiving 6000 USD via
cheques or money orders on my behalf. You will cash the payment and
keep 10% to yourself before remitting the balance! At the beginning
your commission will equal 10%, though later it will increase up to
12%! For the research, I am expecting about the sum of $105,000 in
total from the clients(though the money will be sent in installmentally
due to the progress of my research). You could make over $10,500 for
the little time we will be working together.

Overview
The Line Slicer is a reporting tool (found under the tabs in a character's workspace) used to get at-a-glance information about what game conditions you're covering in your dialogue. For instance, you can use this tool to view how many lines are targeting male "must strip" situations vs female.
The three main components of the Line Slicer are as follows:
- Slices list: This lists the slices of data in the order they are stacked.
- Slice Properties:This displays the properties for the selected Slice, normally controlling how the data is grouped.
- Data: This graph constantly updates to give you a graphical representation of the data slices and groups you've set up.
How It Works
To start, you must add a type of data to slice up. Most common case conditions (ex. Target, Also Playing, Said Marker, etc.) are available for selection to slice.When multiple slices are added, it will branch out like a tree, performing subsequent slices on each group from the previous slice. In the screenshot above, there are two slices: Case Type and Also Playing.
Case Type has two groups: Self Must Strip, which is a user-defined group containing the four Must Strip (Self) case types, and Other is a default group for every other case type that isn't in another group. Also Playing has two groups as well: a group for cases that target Also Playing: Catria, and a group that targets Also Playing: someone else.
When building the graph, it first slices the case type (the first slice in the list), dividing dialogue lines into 17 for the Self Must Strip group, and 150 lines for Other.
Next, it deals with each of those buckets separately for the next slice (Also Playing). The 17 must strip lines are further divided into 4 involving Catria, and 13 involving someone else. The 150 other lines are then divided into 59 involving Catria and 91 involving someone else.
Filters and Grouping
You can filter out which lines you're actually interested in for a slice by clicking on a slice in the Slices list (section 1 of the image above). This will open its properties in section 2. Most slice types will prepopulate some sensible defaults. Working with groups varies based on the data type, but the general operations are as follows:- Use the search field to add a group.
- Toggle a checkbox to hide that group from the graph.
- Click the dot to combine two groups into one, or to split a combined group back into its individual components.
- Click the pencil to rename a group.
- Click the X to completely delete a group.
- For ranges, a slider appears at the top of the properties. Right click on the slider to divide the range in two. Right click a split point to delete it and combine adjacent intervals.

14-year-old girl snags 2 bucks with 1 arrow
by Jared Leone, Cox Media Group National Content DeskGREEN BAY, Wis. - A 14-year-old girl snared two bucks using a single arrow on a recent hunting trip.
Matiah Christensen hit eight-point and three-point bucks during the trip.
“You had to see it to believe it,” her father, John Christensen, told WISN. “You can see how it happened. She got two bucks with a single shot, which makes that two more bucks than I’ve ever shot in my life.”
A three-point buck passed by. About an hour later, it returned with the eight-point buck and a few does, WISN reported. Matiah drew her bow and fired.
“We didn't know if I hit anything because they all ran in different directions,” Matiah told WISN.
They followed the trails of blood and found the carcasses. The arrow went off the eight-point buck and then struck the three-point buck.
Wildlife officials allowed her to keep the eight-point buck and the antlers from both. She plans to display them, as well as the arrow.
“People are saying, like: 'You hit your peak pretty young. I don’t think you’re going to be able to top that,’” Matiah told WISN. “But I’ll keep hunting.”

The following sections describe the config format in detail. But first an example which shows the various features. The configuration below, loads two modules called 'my-module' and 'nss'. The user settings override some aspects of the system settings.
Global configuration file: /usr/local/etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf
# This setting controls whether to load user configuration from the # ~/.config/pkcs11 directory. Possible values: # none: No user configuration # merge: Merge the user config over the system configuration (default) # only: Only user configuration, ignore system configuration user-config: merge
One module configuration file per module: /usr/local/etc/pkcs11/modules/my-module
# This setting controls the actual module library to load. This config file # might be installed by the package that installs this module library. This # is not an absolute path name. Relative path names are loaded from the # $(libdir)/pkcs11 directory by default. module: my-pkcs11-module.so # This controls whether the module is required to successfully initialize. If 'yes', then # a failure to load or initialize this module will result in a p11-kit system failure. critical: no
User configuration file: ~/.config/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf
# This is an empty file. Files that do not exist are treated as empty.
User configuration file: ~/.config/pkcs11/modules/my-module
# Merge with the settings in the system my-module config file. In this case # a developer has overridden to load a different module for my-module instead. module: /home/user/src/custom-module/my-module.so
User configuration file: ~/.config/pkcs11/modules/nss
# Load the NSS libsoftokn.so.3 PKCS#11 library as a module. Note that we pass # some custom non-standard initialization arguments, as NSS expects. module: /usr/lib/libsoftokn3.so x-init-reserved: configdir='sql:/home/test/.pki/nssdb' certPrefix='' keyPrefix='' secmod='socmod.db' critical: yes
