The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/813,915, filed Jun. 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present invention relates generally to improvements in parallel data processing architectures for video processing and more particularly to apparatus and methods for independent processor node operations in a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) array processor.
Increasing demand for high definition TV products, including interactive TV in a HD format and HD video compression encoding and decoding, requires increasing sophistication, flexibility, and performance in the supporting electronics. The sophistication, flexibility, and performance requirements for HD TV exceeds the capabilities of current generations of processor architectures by, in many cases, orders of magnitude.
The demands of video encoding for HD formats are both memory and data processing intensive, requiring efficient and high bandwidth memory organizations coupled with compute intensive capabilities. In addition, a video encoding product must be capable of supporting multiple standards each of which includes multiple optional features which can be supported to improve image quality and further reductions in compression bandwidth. Due to these multiple demands, a flexible parallel processing approach must be found to meet the demands in a cost effective manner.
A number of algorithmic capabilities are generally common between multiple video encoding standards, such as MPEG-2, H.264, and SMPTE-VC-1. Motion estimation/compensation and deblocking filtering are two examples of general algorithms that are required for video encoding. To efficiently support motion estimation algorithms and other complex programmable functions which may vary in requirements across the multiple standards, a processor by itself would require significant parallelism and very high clock rates to meet the requirements. A processor of this capability would be difficult to develop in a cost effective manner for commercial products.
Two primary parallel programming models, the SIMD and the MIMD models are typically used in commercial parallel processors. In the SIMD model, a single program thread controls multiple processing elements (PEs) in synchronous lock-step operation. Each PE executes the same instruction but on different data. This is in contrast to the MIMD model where multiple program threads of control exist and any inter-processor operations must contend with the latency to synchronize the independent program threads prior to communicating. The problem with SIMD is that not ail algorithms can make efficient use of the available parallelism existing in the processor. The amount of parallelism inherent in different algorithms varies leading to difficulties in efficiently implementing a wide variety of algorithms on SIMD machines. The problem with MIMD machines is the latency of communications between multiple processors leading to difficulties in efficiently synchronizing processors to cooperate on the processing of an algorithm. Typically, MIMD machines also incur a greater cost of implementation as compared to SIMD machines, since each MIMD PE must have its own instruction sequencing mechanism which can amount to a significant amount of hardware. MIMD machines also have an inherently greater complexity of programming control required to manage the independent parallel processing elements. Consequently, levels of programming complexity and communication latency occur in a variety of contexts when parallel processing elements are employed. It will be highly advantageous to efficiently address such problems as discussed in greater detail below.
In one or more of its several aspects, the present invention addresses problems such as those described above. In one of its aspects, the present invention describes an apparatus that allows improvements in processor node capability in a SIMD array processor.
An embodiment of the present invention addresses an apparatus for parallel processing. A control processor is used for fetching and distributing single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instructions to a plurality of processing elements (PEs), wherein one of the SIMD instructions is a thread start (Tstart) instruction which causes the control processor to pause its instruction fetching. A local PE instruction memory (PE Imem) is associated with each PE and contains local PE instructions for execution on the local PE. Local PE Imem fetch, decode, and execute logic are associated with each PE. Instruction path selection logic in each PE is used to select between control processor distributed instructions and local PE instructions fetched from the local PE Imem. Each PE is also initialized to receive control processor distributed instructions. In addition, local hold generation logic is associated with each PE. A PE receiving a Tstart instruction causes the instruction path selection logic to switch to fetch local PE Imem instructions.
Another embodiment of the present invention addresses a method of enabling multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) operations in a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) array processor. Receiving a thread start (Tstart) instruction in a control processor and in a plurality of enabled processing elements (PEs). Generating a hold signal in the control processor based on the Tstart instruction to pause the control processor from fetching and distributing instructions to the PEs. Switching instruction paths in each PE to a local PE instruction memory (PE Imem) path in response to the Tstart instruction received in each enabled PE. In addition, fetching instructions from the local PE Imem independently in each PE for execution locally on each PE.
Another embodiment of the present invention addresses a method for executing very long instruction words (VLIWs) separately on individual processing elements (PEs). Receiving a thread start (Tstart) instruction in a control processor and in a plurality of enabled processing elements (PEs). Generating a hold signal in the control processor based on the Tstart instruction to pause the control processor from fetching and distributing instructions to the PEs. Switching instruction paths in each PE to a local PE instruction memory (PE Imem) path based on in response to the Tstart instruction received in each enabled PE. In addition, fetching a PE execute VLIW (PEXV) from the local PE Imem and executing the PEXV instruction separately on the PE that fetched the PEXV instruction.
These and other features, aspects, techniques, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, taken together with the accompanying drawings and claims.
one or more embodiments of the present invention;
The present invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which several embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
Further details of attaching an application specific hardware assist function within an array processor for use in conjunction with the present invention is found in U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/795,140 entitled "Methods and Apparatus for Attaching Application Specific Functions Within an Array Processor" filed Apr. 26, 2006 and incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
A controlling function sequence processor (SP) combined with processing element zero (PE0) functions is indicated as SP/PE0 110. The SP/PE0 shares execution units between the SP control function and the PE0 data processing function. To support the SP and PE0, a separate SP register file and a separate PE0 register file are used. The two separate register files are indicated with one block as an (SP/PE) register file 140 that is used to maintain the processing context of the SP and PE0.
SP/PE0 110 and fifteen additional processor engines (PEs) 111-125 are partitioned in groups of four PEs per cluster as a 4×4 array organization. Each PE provides programmable processing and hardware assist functions. SP/PE0 110 is unique as compared to the other fifteen PEs 111-125, having an array controlling function combined with the PE function of PE0. The common features of the sixteen PEs 110-125 include a set of instruction execution units including, for example for PE0, a multiply accumulate unit (MAU) 130, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) 131, a store unit (SU) 132, a load unit (LU) 133, a hardware assist (HA) 134, a data select unit (DSU) 135, and for example for PE8, a 256×5 slot very long instruction word memory (VIM) 136, a local PE register file 137, a data memory 138 local to each PE and HA, and a local PE instruction memory (PE#Imem) 139 in accordance with the present invention and as described in more detail below. Each PE also contains local pipeline controls, decode logic, and control logic appropriate for each PE. All VSP16 instructions are executed in a simple pipeline with a majority of instructions requiring a single execution stage and a few instructions requiring two execution stages that are pipelined.
To control the VSP16 the SP generally has a single thread of control supported by an SP instruction memory 142 and an SP data memory 144. The SP provides program control, contains instruction and data address generation units, supports interrupts, provides DMA control, and dispatches instructions to the PEs 110-125. The SP executes branches and controls the fetching and issuing of instructions such as load VLIW and execute VLIW instructions. Though not limited to this, the SP/PE0 shares a single VIM 141. The load VLIW instruction may be an SP only instruction or a PE instruction that is broadcast to all the PEs. The Load VLIW instruction provides an indirect VIM address and is used to load the instruction slots at the specified VIM address. The execute VLIW instruction may also be an SP only instruction or a PE instruction that is broadcast to all the PEs. The execute VLIW instruction causes a VLIW to be selected at a specified indirect VIM address and executed.
The single SP thread of control supports 4×4 single instruction multiple data (SIMD) sub-threads which operate synchronously in lock step SIMD fashion. Each SIMD sub-thread uses very long instruction words (VLIWs) which are indirectly selected and executed by the single SP thread. Each VLIW in each PE at the same VIM address may be different. All unmasked PEs access the same VIM address when executing a VLIW. Five 32-bit instruction slots are provided in each PE, such that with 16 PEs 80 32-bit instructions can execute simultaneously. In addition single, dual, quad, and octal packed data operations may be specified independently by each slot instruction thereby supporting up to 640 instruction specified operations per cycle. As an example of the processing power this provides, a VSP16 operating at 250 Mhz may achieve 160 Giga operations per second.
The single SP thread of control also enables 4×4 multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) independent program threads which operate on the PEs. Once the SP enables the MIMD threads, each PE independently fetches instructions from a local PE Imem for local execution until a local PE stop instruction is fetched from the local PE Imem, as described in further detail below.
The VSP16 processor also uses an interconnection network cluster switch 105 providing single cycle data transfers between PEs within clusters and between PEs in orthogonal clusters. The communication operations are controlled by a DSU instruction which can be included in a VLIW thereby overlapping communications with computations which with proper software pipelining the communication latency can be reduced to zero. The communication operations operate independently of the DMA which may operate in the background to stream data between the local PE memories and the external memories.
To support additional processing capability for application specific functions such as motion estimation/compensation and other high compute functions, a hardware assist (HA) unit with advantageous independent connections to local PE memory is provided. A HA unit has one or more multi-cycle tightly coupled state machine functions which provide memory intensive application specific operational capability to each of the PEs in the VSP16. For example, HA unit 147 interfaces with DSU 148 and LU 149 and the local data memory associated with PE4 114 as a transform engine 150.
Generally, multiple blocks of code may be executed by each PE with each block of code beginning with a Tstart instruction and ending with the last PE completing its own local block operations. Each PE receives notification of which block to execute. This notification may be determined locally in each PE or by the parameter thread block number field 259
The local PE Imem 304 holds PE single instructions which can be store, load, ALU, MAU, and DSU short instruction words (SIWs) as well as unique PE control instructions. PE branch type instructions, PE execute VLIWs (PEXVs), and load VLIWs (LVs) instructions can be stored into each local PE Imem. PE instructions may be loaded into the PE Imem 304 over a PE Imem load bus 326 from a DMA path or from local PE memory. In one embodiment of the present invention, PE local Imems may be loadable using PE store special purpose register instructions (SSPR.Ps), which identifies a memory port in special purpose register (SPR) space. With this approach, the PE local Imems could all be loaded from their local data memories in parallel. The local data memories would be loaded with the local Imem contents by the DMA engines. Two SPR addresses would be needed, one to set the start address for instruction loads, the other acts as a data port. For example:
SSPR.P R0, IMEM_ADDR // stores starting I-Mem address SSPR.P R1, IMEM_INST // stores inst to address, IMEM_ADDR is // incremented automatically in hardware LII R1, A0+, 1 // get next inst from PE local data mem
Putting the SSPR and load indirect with scaled immediate update (LII) instructions in a VLIW would allow single cycle loading of all PE I-Mems simultaneously.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the PE local Imems may be directly loaded by the DMA engines. A two port Imem would be used having a read port for use by the local PE to fetch instructions and a write port for use by a DMA engine to load instructions.
The PEs power on into a SIMD PE state of operation with the SP dispatching instructions to the SP and PEs on an SP to PE instruction bus 328. A thread signal 330 causes multiplexer 332 to select the IBus-IR1 signal path 334. When a Tstart instruction is received from the SP, it is predecoded causing the thread signal 330 to change state and each PE switches from a SIMD operating state to PE local operations. The thread signal 330 in the switched state causes multiplexer 332 to select the PE-IR1 signal path 336 beginning PE local operations. In PE local operations, each PE begins to select instructions from the PE local Imem 304 by generating fetch addresses 338 based on the contents of a processing element i,j program counter (PEi,jPC) 340. The SP enters a pause state such that the SP cannot send further instructions to the PEs until the pause state is removed. Rather the PEs execute their own independent instruction stream. At the completion of all the local PE tasks, the SP-hold signal is switched to an inactive state which releases the SP. The SP then resumes instruction fetch and dispatch operations. The PEs wait for the SP to send an instruction to the PE, which may be a PE instruction or another Tstart instruction.
The Tstart instruction is also predecoded in each of the enabled PEs causing the enabled PEs to be placed in an independent mode of operation. The PEs begin fetching instructions from their local Imems, such as illustrated with PEi fetching an XV instruction (Pif-Xv1) 454 and PEj fetching an XV instruction (Pif-XV1) 455. The pipelines for these instructions continue in a predcode, decode, execute and condition return pipeline stages. PEi completes its local program operations when PEi fetches a Tstop instruction (Pif-Tstop) 460. When the Tstop instruction is predecoded in PEi (Di-Tstop) 461 a PEi decode hold signal (PEi-Dhold) at timing event 462 is activated. The active level of the PEi-Dhold signal 462 stops the PEi from fetching additional PEi instructions. When the PEi executes the Tstop instruction (Xi-Tstop) and generally all instructions in the PE have completed execution, a PEi execute hold signal (PEi-Xhold) is activated at timing event 463. The active level of the PEi-Xhold signal at timing event 463 generally stops all PEi operations. The active level of the PEi-Dhold signal 462 is sent back to the SP to indicate that PEi has started to hold further operations. Depending on pipeline controls and other system considerations, such as a PE instruction not completing execution, the PEi-Dhold signal at timing event 462 may be delayed before being sent back to the SP.
PEj completes its local program operations when PEj fetches a Tstop instruction (Pjf-Tstop) 470. When the Tstop instruction is predecoded in PEj (Dj-Tstop) 471 a PEj decode hold signal (PEj-Dhold) is activated at timing event 472. The active level of the PEj-Dhold signal at timing event 472 slops the PEj from fetching additional PEj instructions. The active level of the PEj-Dhold signal at timing event 472 is sent back to the SP to indicate that PEj is starting to hold further operations. In this example, PEj is the last PE to finish its local program operations. All other PEs that have completed local program operations earlier will have sent a PEx-Dhold signal to the SP. The last PEs, such as PEj, generally completing operations and having sent the PEj-Dhold signal to the SP, the SP having received all PEi-Dhold signals from the enabled PEs deactivates the the SP hold signal at timing event 475. The SP hold signal is distributed to all PEs. With the SP hold signal deactivated, the PEs release their hold signals at timing event 477 which causes the thread signal 330 of
To minimize pipeline latencies to switch from the PE local operations back to SP SIMD operations, the Tstop instruction may be architected to execute a number of PE instructions after (in the shadow of) the Tstop instruction. The number of PE instructions to execute may be fixed or determined by a parameter passed in the Tstop instruction.
Each PE ORs a PEi-execute hold signal (PEi-XHold) signal 510, 511, . . . , 525 hold 504 to generate PEi-Hold′ signals 530, 531, . . . , 545. Each PEi-Xhold signal 510, 511, . . . , 525 is activated upon predecoding a PE Tstop instruction and deactivated when the SP hold′ signal is deactivated. The SP-Hold′ signal is released the cycle after all PEs have activated their PEi-DHold signals 550, 551, . . . , 565. An exemplary AND gate may be used to AND all PEi-Dhold signals 550, 551, . . . , 565 to generate a releast SP Hold signal 568.
A SP pause counter may be used that is snap shot whenever a PE completes its independent operations. In addition and as an example, a 4-bit flag may be sent by each PE to indicate a number of status conditions. The PE number, the 4-bit status flag, and the snap shot pause counter value may be stored in an SP local memory.
While the present invention has been disclosed in the context of various specific illustrative embodiments, it will be recognized that the invention may be suitably applied to other environments and applications consistent with the claims which follow.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan's army chief says billions of dollars in U.S. aid meant for the military's fight against Islamist militants should be diverted to bolster the economy and help ordinary Pakistanis.
The announcement could be seen as a snub to the U.S. and an attempt to bolster the military's popularity following the American raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani reiterated that the army has ceased its training relationship with the U.S. and has restricted the scope of intelligence sharing. He also said American drone attacks are unacceptable and declined U.S. calls for an operation in the militant-infested North Waziristan tribal area.
Kayani's positions were outlined in an unusually detailed statement issued Thursday after a meeting with his top commanders.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

In a very short time, Latios reached the hideout, with Alan's eyes closed. "S-Slow down, s-slow down, please!" he screamed as he felt he would fall off anytime. But then he felt Latios wasn't moving, and opened his eyes, very frightened. He was surprised to find himself in a cave. Not sure if it was safe, he continued to hold on to Latios.
"Calm down, boy. You are safe now." Latios said calmly via telepathy. "There is nothing to worry about."
Alan nodded, still scared, and carefully got off the Eon Pokémon. He had this nervous, confused look in his eye. "Wh-where are we? Wh-why did you take me here? Wh-what's going on?"
"One question at a time." Latios said. "First, we are in a safe spot, where nobody can find us. Second, I brought you here because I need your help. I need you to help us stop something that is about to happen. Something really bad."
"S-Something bad? I-I don't like this." Alan said, nowhere near calm, "I-I don't wanna die..." Then his eyes widened. "And who do you m-mean by
"Follow me." Latios said. Alan walked behind him as Latios moved somewhere. He wasn't sure of where the Legendary was taking him, but, then again, he had no choice. Soon Latios reached a small room where Latias and Mew were waiting for him, along with a boy and a girl. Alan panicked again as she saw them.
"M-more legendaries?" the stressed boy said, "Y-you said nobody c-could find us here..." Then everything turned blurry to him. "I-I knew it, I-I'm gon-na..." he said, his voice fading as he passed out. Latios sighed. "Sorry." he said, "This kid seems to be a bit...unstable. But I am sure he will be helpful once I get to explain everything to him."

I'm trying to calculate the number of pairwise differences between a long list of sequences, and put it back into a matrix form. This is a toy example of what I want to do.
b <- c("-BC", "ACB", "---") # Toy example of sequences
workb <- expand.grid(b,b)
new <- c(1:9)
# Need to get rid of this for loop somehow
for (i in 1:9) {
new[i] <- stringMatch(workb[i,1], workb[i,2], normalize="NO")
workb <- cbind(workb, new)
newmat <- reShape(workb$new, id=workb$Var1, colvar=workb$Var2)
a <- c("Subject1", "Subject2", "Subject3") #Relating it back to the subject ID
colnames(newmat) <- a
rownames(newmat) <- a
I'm not very familiar with using the apply functions, but I'd like to use it to be able to replace the for loop, which will probably get slow considering I have a large number of sequences. (The stringMatch function is from MiscPsycho). Please let me know how to make it more efficient!
Thank you very much!

"Deurne, the Pearl of the Peel" Deurne by benschattenberg
Deurne Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 59 photos
Deurne is a special village. Or a little city, because it really rocks. You can enjoy nature, arts, historic buildings and the cosy nightlife. In Deurne is everything you need: shops, houses, typical ancient-dutch windmills, trees, a railway station so you can go away...
In Deurne you can learn how to live!
Go to the tourist information at the Deurne Market square.
The first registration of Deurne was in 754. Then it was called 'Doornhe' which means something like 'Place with rose shrubs'. In medieval times it had its own lord. From those days we still have the old church and the two castles. It suffered a lot in the Spanish-Dutch war (1568-1648).
In 19th century the town was important because of te turf winning. In these days many houses were built which are still to be seen. In the beginning of 20th century the docyor and artist Wiegersma made of Deurne a center of art. Many known artists came to Deurne and left their paintings in the house of Dr. Wiegersma, which is a museum now.
After the second world war Deurne grew bigger, and now has about 30,000 inhabitants.

The Obamas will dole out a mix of sweet and at least some healthy-ish treats to Halloween guests at the White House on Thursday.
The White House announced in a memo that a box of White House M&Ms, jelly beans, sweet dough butter cookies and dried fruit will be among the grub trick-or-treaters at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. will grab as they celebrate the Oct. 31 holiday
More than 5,000 local schoolchildren and military families are expected at the White House for the Halloween festivities.
The president's abode will be decked out with 185 pumpkins carved by volunteers. The spooktacular décor also includes an ode to the first family's pets: topiaries of dogs Bo, dressed as a pirate, and Sunny, wearing a sunflower outfit, will be on display.

I started my journey in 2008 @ ~300 lbs. Thanks to my bicycle and a bit of determination I got down to about 150 lbs. I was riding 200+ miles per week, racing, and loving life on the road!
I got married in 2010, started a new job, sold two houses, moved to a new house and in the middle of all of that I got out of my routine. No excuse I know, but it is the truth.
Today I find myself back up at ~225 lbs. needless to say, I am not thrilled. I have decided that I will start riding again, lose the weight and stay vigilant and do my best to keep it off.
I have a few questions:
1. Has anybody else ever found themselves in this position? The road BACK to a healthy weight seems so long, I can't believe I let this happen...
2. None of my old riding clothes fit, any recommendations for loose fitting stuff that would "hide" me a bit?
3. I have a 2008 Cannondale CAAD 9, is it capable of someone of my weight?
Thanks for any help!

Edwards, then a lightweight boxer, came close to earning a spot at the London Olympics, having won bronze at the 2011 European Championships in Turkey on his international debut.
But it ultimately wasn't to be as Josh Taylor went instead and Edwards was reduced to a watching brief.
However Edwards, 20, has since moved up to the flyweight division and has a chance for more European Championships glory having been chosen for next month's event in Minsk.
And Edwards is adamant he has learnt his lessons and is now eager to make up for lost time as he sets his sights on the Rio 2016 Olympics.
"Obviously I was very disappointed to miss out on London and it was a difficult time for me," he said.
"I got on the podium squad and went straight to the Europeans and got a bronze and I was really buzzing, but looking back on it I was very much rabbit-in-the-headlights.
"I knew it was always going to be a big ask for me to get to London but people were expecting such a lot from me and I don't think that is necessarily such a bad thing.
"I was down on the dumps but when I saw all the other guys doing so well at the Games I thought, you know what, in four years" time I'll be in the prime of my career and this will be me.
"I really feel I'm set up for the next four years. I look back now and I can say I gave it my all and I didn't quite make it, but it's only made me stronger as a boxer.
"There's no point being down about it. The Olympic qualifiers are one of the biggest and toughest events out there, and I've been there and next time I'll know exactly what I'm getting into.
"Obviously because I came through so quickly it was a case of being thrown in at the deep end. But that is all in the past now and I've got the experience and the know-how and it's already paying off with my results this year."

Dharamsala-based model Vijay Singh couldn't believe his luck when he won Mallika Sherawat's hand on the quirky dating reality TV show 'The Bachelorette - Mere Khayalon Ki Mallika'. He is confident they are made for each other and feels their small town connect will help them in their journey.
He beat the other finalist Karan Sagoo, an NRI restaurant owner from London, on the Life OK show's finale Friday night.
Sounding completely zapped, Vijay said after the triumph: "I can't believe I've been chosen by Mallika! Back home in Himachal Pradesh, I used to watch every film of hers. I especially liked her in 'Murder'. She's my favorite."
'The Bachelorette India - Mere Khayalon Ki Mallika', based on the internationally popular format of "The Bachelor", focused on finding a match for Mallika from among 30 contestants, who came from different parts of the country and abroad.
At the show's beginning itself, the actress had clarified that she was only looking for a companion via the show and that she was not promising to settle down with the man she chooses finally.
But for Vijay, 24, winning the show and the actress' heart was "like a dream".
"The other finalist Karan Sagoo also stood a very good chance of winning. But when Mallika gave me the rose, I was in a state of complete disbelief," he said.
Of course the marriage has not taken place as yet and therein lies the catch.
To that, he said: "We've got to know each other as much as we could on the show. Now it's time to take the relationship beyond the show. And for that we need time. We need to get to know one another. I'm pretty confident Mallika and I are made for one another."
And how did Vijay arrive at this conclusion?
Shyly and in chaste Hindi, the small town boy said: "Mallika and I are similar in many ways. She is frank, caring and very transparent about her likes and dislikes. So am I. We both come from small towns. She is from Rohtak in Haryana. I am from Himachal. We both arrived in Mumbai with our dreams. Like her, I too hope to make something of my life."
Recalling his early days in Mumbai, Vijay said: "I came to Mumbai on August 18, 2012. I participated in the Gladrags (model hunt) contest 2013. I can't believe I am standing here looking at the prospect of becoming one of India's most desirable woman's life partner."
Vijay got into the 'The Bachelorette India...' through online audition.
"When I was chosen, I was in a state of disbelief. When I became one of the two finalists, I was even more surprised. Now having won Mallika's hand, I feel I am in a dream," he said.
But what if now, after the on-camera courtship is over, the couple discover they are not made for each other after all?
Vijay pondered and said: "Haan, aisa bhi ho sakta hai (It can happen). But I hope not."

Update on ElvinElvin has had a business producing and selling milk and cheese for 3 years; this is how he generates income for his family. He says that he is very content because thanks to this project he has been able to get ahead. He comments that he sells his milk to a cheese factory which is owned by the Milk Producers Association of El Sauce.
Elvin is requesting a loan for the sum of 500,000 Costa Rican colones that he will use to buy another dairy cow and in this way increase his milk production. He knows that having another cow will be a big sacrifice because it will require more work. However, he wants to become a successful businessman and get ahead with his family, improving their living conditions. This motivates him to work hard and with great care and dedication.
Don Elvin solicita un crédito por un monto de ¢500.000 (quinientos mil colones) para comprar una vaca lechera más y así aumentar la producción de leche. El sabe que contar con una vaca más es un mayor sacrificio y demandará más trabajo. Sin embargo, el deseo de ser un microempresario exitoso y sacar adelante a su familia mejorando las condiciones de vida, lo motiva a esforzarse con gran esmero y dedicación.
Previous Loan DetailsElvin M. M., 64, lives with his mother, wife, and son. Elvin lives in the El Sauce de Santa Teresita Turrialba community in the Cargao province. It is a small rural community with approximately two thousand inhabitants. The community members work at milk production and planting coffee. The la... More from Elvin's previous loan »
Additional Information
More information about this loan
As a small and relatively young MFI located in Costa Rica, EDESA has difficulty attracting other sources of capital. Many other microfinance funders do not work in Costa Rica, because overall the country is too rich. However, organizations such as EDESA work with extremely marginalized populations in Costa Rica that really need the access to capital that EDESA provides. By funding EDESA, Kiva lenders are allowing the organization to grow and reach more people than they otherwise would be able to reach.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

She began her business, because she wanted to be gainfully employed by herself and meet her daily needs and wants. Working six days a week and 12 hours a day, she earns about SLL 2,000,000 every month from this business.
She would like a loan of SLL 4,500,000. Isatu requires a loan to buy more bags of groundnuts. She hopes that this loan will enable her to increase her monthly profits by approximately SLL 1,000,000. Isatu has opened a special account for her children's welfare. She thanks you for your support.

Additional Information
About the Association for Rural DevelopmentThe Association for Rural Development (ARD) is one of the leading microfinance institutions in Sierra Leone. Established in 1989, ARD has offered individual and group loans to support small-scale businesses across the country for two decades. You can learn more about ARD on its partner profile page, support the organization and its staff by joining the ARD lending team, or lend to another one of its borrowers currently raising funds on Kiva.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

The Show with Geoff Sheen
Holy &%^#! They Found Footage of the Black Sox Games
Why aren't more people talking about this??? The 1919 World Series. The Black Sox Scandal. Was it obvious to the fans watching? What was being said DURING the Series? From SI:
Thanks to some historical researchers, roughly five minutes of actual video from the games has been unearthed.
The video was shot by a British newsreel company named Pathe News and was discovered in the archives of a Canadian library by a White Sox fan trying to make a documentary about lost films. The film of the series ended up in the Canadian Yukon and was then consigned to a basement of a local library. In 1929, the film, along with hundreds of other cans of footage, was dumped into an empty swimming pool that was being converted into a hockey rink. The films lay preserved below the ice and dirt until 1978, when the rink was bulldozed and the cans were uncovered. From there, the films were sent to the Canadian national archives in Ottawa and remained in storage there until filmmaker Bill Morrison unexpectedly found the 1919 Series footage in January.
Wow! Check it out.

Rahmville – Between New Years Day and Inauguration 109 people have been shot in gun control central Chicago – over 5 per day
Chicago has averaged more than five shootings per day since the start of 2013 through inauguration day. There have been 109 shot in Chicago since the clock struck midnight on December 31st. Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the country (maybe just behind New York's SAFE act that limits cops to 7 bullets per clip.) This proves yet again that so called Marxist gun control doesn't do a damn thing. Criminals with an intent to commit a crime and shoot someone will do it, regardless of what the law states. Why this is so hard for 'educated' leftists to figure out I'll never know. Rahm Emanuel should be proud of his cesspool in Chicago. He's the 'model' for the country.

Between January 1 and #inauguration day, 109 people have been shot in Chicago, and 31 have died. #GunControl kills. #2A

Here are some tips for how to get the perfect at-home manicure!
Use ice water to dry your nails in three minutes.
When applying a top coat, run the brush along the top edge (non-cuticle side) of the nail.
Whiten your nails after removing a dark polish.
Erase mistakes by dipping a tiny brush into nail polish remover.
The first coat of chunky glitter polishes should be dabbed, not brushed on.
Apply multiple thin coats instead of one thick coat
Apply Aquaphor or Vaseline to cuticles to protect your skin from errant nail polish strokes.
Here's how you remove a gel manicure at home:
Use Band-Aids (the sheer kind) to get perfect French tips.
Use nail polish thinner (NOT nail polish remover!) to revive thick, goopy bottles of nail polish.
Fix a smudge by licking it.
If you accidentally smudge a nail while it's still wet, you can easily fix it by licking your finger and gently smoothing the smudge out (you can even use your tongue to smoothe). The saliva reacts with the nail polish to soften and blend the surface. (Remember: LICK don't EAT.)
A product called smudge repair works similarly.
Soak nails in a solution of water and white vinegar before applying nail polish.
Use VapoRub for nail infections.
Apply thick hand cream before removing polish if you have pale skin.
If you have pale skin, taking off dark nail polish can stain your hands and make you look like you just killed someone. Apply a thick hand cream before removing the nail polish. Soak a cotton pad in remover and place on each nail for ten seconds, one by one. Apply pressure and slide the pad off each nail. Go back and clean up with a new cotton pad soaked in remover to get anything you might have missed.
Try a rubberized base coat to make your polish last longer.
If your nail polish is B3F, make sure your base coat and top coat are, too.
B3F stands for "Free from Formaldehyde, DBP & Toluene," a standard which many new nail polishes have adopted. If you've ever woken up the morning after a manicure with smudges and dents on your nails, this could be the culprit. If the top coat isnt B3F, it will dry much faster than the polish underneath.
If the air is humid, wait extra long for your nails to dry.
Don't sit near the fan.

UNDP seeks $18 million to help Palestinians affected by West Bank wall
The United Nations Development Program (UNDP)'s Program of Assistance to the Palestinian People is appealing to the international community for $18 million in emergency aid for communities affected by Israel's construction of a series of walls, fences, trenches and barriers, commonly known as the "separation wall," in the West Bank.
The wall, winding 175 kilometers so far, has encircled and isolated many Palestinian cities and villages. The funds will be used for land reclamation, construction of agricultural roads, improving water supplies, revamping health care and education, strengthening municipal and village councils, as well as other infrastructure projects to be developed in consultation with communities. The work will generate over 200,000 jobs.
The first phase of the wall will cut across roads and water networks and form a barrier between Palestinians living on each side and their agricultural lands, water wells, urban markets and public services. Areas next to the wall are designated off-limits.
The impact of the wall on agriculture is of particular concern in the governorates of Jenin, Tulkarm and Qalqilya, where the first phase is under construction. These areas produce nearly half the West Bank's total agricultural output, with an estimated value of $220 million in 2000. The wall can severely constrain the delivery of basic social services and commercial activities, especially the movement of agricultural products, Palestinian officials say.
Building the barrier caused destruction of 83,000 olive and other fruit trees, 615 acres of irrigated land, 37 kilometers of water networks and 15 kilometers of agricultural roads. In addition, a total area of 238 square kilometers are isolated between the "Green Line" boundary of the West Bank and the wall, 57 percent of which is cultivated, mostly with olive trees and field crops.
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, commenting on the wall, has said: "I know that it is conventional wisdom that fences make good neighbors. But that is if you build a fence on your own land and you do not disrupt your neighbor's life." — (menareport.com)

new cast WIP by Sharpe19Watch
©2010-2016 Sharpe19
One thing I do with every new cast is I make a prototype before I offer them up for commisison. This is the newest cast. It's much larger than my other wolves, a lot more detail. This one is showing a WIP of drybrushing, an alternate method to airbrushing involving acrylic paint, paint brush, water, and yer hands to blend. It takes longer, less materials, and it's a bit more controlled. I have worked on this more since then. It has resin teeth, glass following eyes made by *Qarrezel and fur from several different places including DF and I'mstuffedfur. Sculpted and textured lip soon to follow. This will be for sale upon completion. (so keep an eye out later today for a journal)
I can dry brush now yay!
Its incredible fun ^_^
Its incredible fun ^_^
the painting of the fur? is it the toothbrush method?ya know acrylic watered down then applied roughly then thouroghly brushed through?
Very similar yes. Same method, different use of a tool for application.
that looks really cool!
love the realism it has *_*
love the realism it has *_*
I want so bad to try resin masks!
Man, you're always amazing me with how much better you get with every mask! Can't wait to see this one finished and preferably see a video of it?
Looks awesome, cant wait to see the final product.
Your doing a great job with dry brushing. I hear it's harder to do.
Woah that looks awesome! cant wait to see the finished product!
Wow! Very realistic! O.O
Wow, an actual update?
=] i cannot wait to see nobody!
really i think this look so very kool, i am a traditional painter, but learning fundmentals on airbrushing but i really really love the dry brush tech. it really adds so much to the depth of the curves of the head beautiful. i know i am ramblin on.and on..but sharpe i think this looks great my friend. i cant wait to see more always. congrad dear. i know airbrushing is awesome..(learning...beginnier hehe) but i really from an artistic standpoint think it really stands out and is very beautiful and realistic...
Airbrushing is good. Dry brushing is really handy if it's too cold out to airbrush or you don't have the room/supplies. It's really easy to learn too Perhaps I'll live stream me doing it some time so folks can see.
again pardon my typos..i am still a bit slow after my wreck hehe
wonderful work my dear freind just amazing wow.! *wantshahah* dear you do amazing work my friend wonderful heheh ! heheh i really really love the way you made the dry brush around he features of the head simply wondeful dear congrats
That same cast is what I will be using for your Lupin mask
oh WOW. REALLY REALLY , WANDERFUL GAL HAHAH. I am not supposed to dance haha but i will spell it out instead hahah *doesthehappydanceforsharpe* aahhaa wonderufl gal.
that's looks really realistic, great job!
is that paint on dye?
is that paint on dye?
Acrylic paint as stated in the artists comments
on the fur?
Where else? LOL
the nose maybe.
Have you never done/heard of dry brushing fur before? You're a fursuiter I'd assume you'd know about it.
I will just say , please do not expect me to know every thing about fursuiting.ok.
im a beginner I only have two suits and all with really cheep fur (no shading at all, im trying to learn to that's why im asking, ^_^ please dont expect me to know allot I only started fursuiting may this year but ive learnt allot from you and sharpe19 thank you, but I haven't made a resin head yet only foam and canvas. no I have not heard about dry brushing , but only dyeing and airbrushing.
huh wouldn't that like clog it up? like its plastic paste isnt it? or is it a different type of acrylic? I only know the thick plastic paste stuff..
Thoron. Hun. Read the artists comment. I am not airbrushing this. It tells you what I did.
OHH sorry bad English (I know you use a paint brush to put it on, but dose'nt it like stick the fur together a bit like hair gel, since its like thick paste? or do you like have a different type of acrylic?)
With any paint or dye it will stick the fur together a bit. You need to brush it to avoid most of that from happening.
no I didn't mean to say that, I meant wouldn't the acrylic like stick the fur together, its like a thick paste isnt it? or is the stuff you using different?
It will make the fur clump and stick together if you don't pay attention to what your doing. If you're careful and make sure not to use too much, and brush the fur to separate the hairs while you're working then it's a great way to color fur. It's really time consuming though.
Wow that looks amazing Sharpe!

The inability to conceive of a happy ending.
Sometimes I think that the whole reason I met him was to discover that his wife was studying Counseling Psychology, if indeed that is the name of something a person might actually learn, with the great-grand-niece of Frida Kahlo. In the narrative of desire, perhaps what matters is not intimacy but it's counterpart: a new thought. In this sense, the lover is a necessary force, but rarely it's limit. I said: "Maybe this is the reason we met." Thinking of the yellow table, the third eye, the monkey in her arms. Dominant. I begged for an introduction, forgetting for a moment who I was. To him. For her. A cunt. Do cunts get to meet Frida Kahlo? In the flesh? Greeley, Colorado is where the slaughterhouses are. I'd like to visit that university town.

Carmen Amabel
Update on Carmen AmabelCarmen, 50, went to school through sixth grade, but then her father died so she had to start working to help her mother with household expenses. Carmen never married and has no children.
Carmen is a hard-working woman with a desire to succeed. When she left school, she started working in a tortilla shop at the age of 15. She worked there for 15 years and then her mother was able to open a small store from home. Unfortunately, she passed away shortly after so this is how Carmen came to continue the small business that her mother started with much sacrifice and dedication. Now, 21 years have passed since her mother's passing and the business is still going. She depends on the income to pay household expenses.
With this loan, Carmen will invest in her store again so she will have a source of income and also a business that is a memory of the most special person. She will continue like this for a long time to serve her customers. This will help Carmen grow her business.
Thanks to this loan, Carmen will fulfill one of her dreams, which is to grow her business. Also, she always wanted to have a clothing store, and she knows that if everything goes as planned, she will be able to fulfill all of her goals.

Han pasado 21 años desde que su madre falleció y el negocio aún lo sigue manteniendo, de la tienda dependen sus ingresos para lograr cubrir los gastos del hogar.
Con el préstamo Carmen podrá invertir nuevamente en la tienda, así podrá tener su fuente de ingresos y a la vez el negocio que es un recuerdo que tiene de la persona mas especial, seguirá presente por mucho tiempo al servicio de los clientes. De esta forma se ayudara a que Carmen pueda crecer en el negocio.
