Towards a comprehensive framework for co-simulation of dynamic models with an emphasis on time stepping
Hoepfer, Matthias
MetadataShow full item record
Over the last two decades, computer modeling and simulation have evolved as the tools of choice for the design and engineering of dynamic systems. With increased system complexities, modeling and simulation become essential enablers for the design of new systems. Some of the advantages that modeling and simulation-based system design allows for are the replacement of physical tests to ensure product performance, reliability and quality, the shortening of design cycles due to the reduced need for physical prototyping, the design for mission scenarios, the invoking of currently non-existing technologies, and the reduction of technological and financial risks. Traditionally, dynamic systems are modeled in a monolithic way. Such monolithic models include all the data, relations and equations necessary to represent the underlying system. With increased complexity of these models, the monolithic model approach reaches certain limits regarding for example, model handling and maintenance. Furthermore, while the available computer power has been steadily increasing according to Moore's Law (a doubling in computational power every 10 years), the ever-increasing complexities of new models have negated the increased resources available. Lastly, modern systems and design processes are interdisciplinary, enforcing the necessity to make models more flexible to be able to incorporate different modeling and design approaches. The solution to bypassing the shortcomings of monolithic models is co-simulation. In a very general sense, co-simulation addresses the issue of linking together different dynamic sub-models to a model which represents the overall, integrated dynamic system. It is therefore an important enabler for the design of interdisciplinary, interconnected, highly complex dynamic systems. While a basic co-simulation setup can be very easy, complications can arise when sub-models display behaviors such as algebraic loops, singularities, or constraints. This work frames the co-simulation approach to modeling and simulation. It lays out the general approach to dynamic system co-simulation, and gives a comprehensive overview of what co-simulation is and what it is not. It creates a taxonomy of the requirements and limits of co-simulation, and the issues arising with co-simulating sub-models. Possible solutions towards resolving the stated problems are investigated to a certain depth. A particular focus is given to the issue of time stepping. It will be shown that for dynamic models, the selection of the simulation time step is a crucial issue with respect to computational expense, simulation accuracy, and error control. The reasons for this are discussed in depth, and a time stepping algorithm for co-simulation with unknown dynamic sub-models is proposed. Motivations and suggestions for the further treatment of selected issues are presented.

The wisps of steam rose in the air
And disappeared, just like that.
They touched my heart and we took our stance,
And we did a tribute, a dance.
We know the world has forgotten
The delicate wisp of coffee steam.
But we still remember it in our hearts,
And see it in our dreams.

Divide and Conquer ?Mature
"Ready your steeds, we ride out in five minutes!" Baron demand the next morning. He was tense, but focused. How many of these men would die? How many of Blue's men would they slay? Would it be enough to make a difference? He wondered.
The Demigod tucked a note into the pocket of his trousers. He had written it late last night for Sage should he not return to deliver the message himself. He pushed the negative thought aside and laughed. He was a product of the Gods! Of course he would return home to Galvenston!
The men lined up in their gear alongside the Monseikens. Drakmor offered Baron a steely glare to which Baron returned without question. Th familiarity of his faded hatred ironically offered Baron comfort. Having the steel crusher's negative affections alongside him was like taking a piece of home with him on their journey.
The joined armies rode out on horseback behind Galvenston's flag; embroidered with the Lion.
Ahead of them a messenger was sent to Gallia to alert the Emperor of their arrival. The Gallian's hated the Syrians just as much as Galvenston did now that they suspected Demitrius played a hand in stealing their prophet, Odyous. Which of course was a false assumption, one that Baron wouldn't be correcting any time soon. With any luck the Gallians would mistake Aeron Cadoc's men for Syrians and weaken the army before the Galvenston's arrived. Yes, with any luck..
Baron led his men the long way around a cliff face, so they would not be seen as they approached the Empire.When they came up to the edge of the village the men readied their weapons and slowed their pace. The further they came into Gallia, the more something seemed to be amiss...
The village was quiet for this time of day. There were no merchants in the center; their was no activity at all.
Baron's steed sensed that something was wrong and grew antsy. Silence fell over the Galvenstons and the Mounseikens. Baron ushered his reluctant horse forward. Behind him his men were all to tense, but wise to stay quiet and alert.
They rode past the center and on wards towards the commoner cottages. Baron drew his sword at the first sight of blood that aligned the dirt road connecting the small cottages. Bodies lay carelessly tossed in the road.
Men. Women. Children. All dead.
Baron turned his brain off. Sorrow and sympathy had no place in battle lest one wanted to be killed just as well. Baron channeled his dark energies into revenge. "Lee Shan, Drakmor Check the cottages. See if anyone lives," he ordered as his eyes focused on the road ahead of them. There was nothing to be seen but blood and corpses for miles up ahead.
Upon Baron's command the army split into two. Drakmor led half of the men to search for survivors while Baron led the other half towards the palace. He held his breath the entire way there. Before he faced Aeron Cadoc's army he needed to confirm something; That the Emperor of Gallia was alive and well. Regardless; his revenge for his allies would be in full effect. There would be no retreating until he had located and disassembled the threat.
Cautiously he led his men outside the palace walls. Once more the group split in half upon Baron's request to divide and conquer. If the Emperor was alive, their was a good chance he had been captured by Blue's men inside the castle.
Baron lassoed an anchored rope over the high wall. Expertly he climbed over the wall using the rope for leverage. The other men who would raid the castle with him followed suit.
The castle was quiet and eerie. The group divided yet again to save time and cover more ground. Baron rushed to the throne room with a few men for backup. The Emperor sat positioned in his high backed throne. He was sitting there solemnly. Baron sighed, relieved to have found the Emperor. Respectfully he bowed. The Emperor was still and quiet.
A few more men rushed into the thrones room. "There is nobody else in the castle," one of his men announced.
Baron nodded in response before turning his attention back towards the Emperor who was simply staring off into space. "Forgive me Emperor I know I'm out of line in asking; but what kind of man sits feebly in his throne while his Empire is being destroyed and his people slain?"
Behind Baron one of his Comrades cleared his throat before stepping forward. Baron's eyes widened as the comrade walked up to the Emperor and lifted his arm only to demonstrate how limp and lifeless he truly was. "A dead one," the comrade declared.

Kanye West Announces New Music In A Couple Of Months [Video]
The G.O.O.D. Music single "Clique" must be Kanye's trigger song to express what he's "feeling and not feeling" lately. This past weekend while performing in London West had the internet roaring after his little rant on Business people, Grammys, and "Suit and Tie". This time his ten minute rant, which took place during his performance in Paris at Le Zenith, wasn't as provocative but ended with Kanye announcing new music on the way as he says "I've been working on my new sh*t. I'll be back in about a couple months." Check out his full rant and a clip of 'Ye just talking about his new music below.

One of the most novel and equally controversial provisions of the Revised Student Election Code of DLSU-D is the provision concerning electronic forms of election propaganda.
Yours truly was part of the body that assembled to revise the old Student Election Code of DLSU-D back in 2008. Considering my background in social media publishing, aka I'm a blogger, and my previous experience in being Chair of the 2007 Students' Constitutional Convention that drafted the 2008 USC Constitution, the body appointed me to draft the provisions concerning electronic forms of propaganda.
When we say electronic form of election propaganda we mean campaigning done through SMS, the Internet – in particular social media, video, audio and any other means of electronic communication.
As early as the 2007 elections, political parties were already using SMS, aka group messages to campaign for their candidates during elections. Back then, there were no provisions in the old E-Code about this method or other electronic campaign propaganda, however, the SCE still allowed it given that the campaign messages did not contain defamatory/libelous content against any political party and/or candidate.
As time went on, social media like Multiply.com which was still famous back then, were also used as election propaganda. Other political parties started putting up websites of their own. Again, up until the 2008 Revised E-Code, there were no provisions about the electronic election propaganda, yet they were still allowed and that the contents conformed to the relevant provisions of the E-Code. In addition to content, such electronic campaign propaganda were only used, published and utilized during the campaign period. Outside of the campaign period, they were strictly prohibited.
This was the experience and practice that became the norm up until the 2008 Revised E-Code was drafted, ratified and took effect beginning the 2009 USC and CSC elections.
So when we considered the provisions about the electronic form of election propaganda, we realized that it was impractical and impossible for the SCE to fully regulate it in the manner it can regulate non-electronic forms like tarpaulins, fliers, leaflets, posters, pins, shirts, etc. Simply because electronic election propaganda were intangible and resided only the vast expanse of the Internet and electronic gadgets while the non-electronic election propaganda were physically tangible and were only used inside the campus well within the literal jurisdiction of the SCE.
However, the body also understood that we cannot stop the march of progress and the creativity of the political parties – electronic forms of election propaganda is the way to go.
Compromise: Continue from historical experience and practice
So the compromise was that the SCE gave up jurisdiction over electronic forms of election propaganda in terms of the quantity, dimensions and the locations where they can be posted. However, the contents or substance and timeliness of its usage remained under the jurisdiction of the SCE as was the practice back in 2007.
Political parties and candidates were free to use any forms of electronic election propaganda be it SMS, social media, dedicated websites, videos, cover photos, profile photos, infographics etc. as long as the contents conformed to the applicable provisions of the E-code that regulated content:
Section 50. Prohibited Forms of Campaign Paraphernalia/Propaganda. Any
campaign paraphernalia/propaganda shall be unlawful if it:
Xxx xxx xxx
b. Contains the Course of the candidate.
c. Contains defamatory/libellous content against any political
party and/or candidate.
d. Involves the use of logo/name of any outside organization/
individual that has not been a donor of the political party and/
or candidate.
Aside from the content, the timeliness of using electronic election propaganda is also regulated by the E-code, that such campaigning is prohibited outside the campaign period.
A perfect sample case or precedent was the case of SENTRO vs SINAG, 2007-2008 elections wherein a campaign manager of SINAG political party was caught campaigning on election day itself using group SMS. SINAG was disqualified not for using SMS, but for campaigning during election days.
Provisions of the E-Code must be interpreted in harmony, not in conflict
Now, there is a serious misconception that since there is Section 47, f. that says:
The SCE shall have no jurisdiction over electronic form of election propaganda
It means that political parties and candidates have absolute freedom with electronic election propaganda. This is wrong. This is the wrong way of interpreting the E-Code because if this was correct, there would be a conflict with Section 50, c. of the E-Code which prohibits campaign propaganda that is defamatory/libelous. In legal practice, the Supreme Court explains why provisions of a law or code must not be taken against the other provisions, instead it should be interpreted and implemented in harmony with other provisions that express the intention of the authors of the law or its spirit.
The rule is that a a code is enacted as a single, comprehensive statute, and is to be considered as such and not as a series of disconnected articles or provisions. (Baking v. Director of Prisons)
Thus Section 47, f and Section 50 can stand side by side and not in opposition to one another. That parties and candidates can use any form of electronic election propaganda and regardless of its quantities as long as the contents do not contain defamatory or libelous content nor the courses of the candidates it bears and that such electronic campaign propaganda be used only during the campaign period.
A parallel case would be SWAFO's past investigation in the blind-item pages in Facebook where students are sharing/posting their "secret stories" about life as a student in DLSU-D. The student handbook does not prohibit students about creating social media accounts, but if such accounts are being used to post content that are malicious or libelous against any member of the academic community, school administrators are authorized to investigate and if proven, discipline erring students.
It should be now clear to all students, specially the political parties, their candidates and the Student Commission on Elections that the use of electronic election propaganda are still subject to the provisions of the Student Election Code.

text: 2015/10/7 CHARLES LAMB 1 CHARLES LAMB 2015/10/7 DREAM CHILDREN: A REVERIE 2 Dream Children: a Reverie Children love to listen to stories about their elders, when they were children; to stretch their imagination to the conception of a traditionary great-uncle, or grandame1, whom they never saw. It was in this spirit that my little ones2 crept about me the other evening to hear about their great-grandmother Field3, who lived in a great house in Norfolk4 (a hundred times bigger than that in which they and papa5 lived) which had been the scene — so at least it was generally believed in that part of the country — of the tragic incidents which they had lately become familiar with from the ballad of the Children in the Wood6. Certain it is that the whole story of the children and their cruel uncle was to be seen fairly carved out in wood upon the chimney-piece of the great hall, the whole story down to the Robin Redbreasts7, till a foolish rich person pulled it down to set up a marble one of modern invention in its stead, with no story upon it. Here Alice8 put out one of her 2015/10/7 3 dear mother's looks, too tender to be called upbraiding9. Then I went on to say how religious and how good their greatgrandmother Field was, how beloved and respected by everybody, though she was not indeed the mistress of this great house, but had only the charge of it (and yet in some respects she might be said to be the mistress of it too) committed to her by the owner, who preferred living in a newer and more fashionable mansion which he had purchased somewhere in the adjoining county; but still she lived in it in a manner as if it had been her own, and kept up the dignity of the great house in a sort10 while she lived, which afterwards came to decay, and was nearly pulled down11, and all its old ornaments stripped and carried away to the owner's other house12, where they were set up, and looked as awkward13 as if someone were to carry away the old tombs they had seen lately at the Abbey14, and stick them up in Lady C.'s tawdry gilt drawingroom. Here John15 smiled, as much as to say, "that would be foolish, indeed." 2015/10/7 4 And then I told how, when she came to die, her funeral was attended by a concourse of all the poor, and some of the gentry too, of the neighborhood for many miles round, to show their respect for her memory, because she had been such a good and religious woman; so good indeed that she knew all the Psaltery16 by heart, ay, and a great part of the Testament17 besides. Here little Alice spread her hands18. Then I told what a tall, upright, graceful person their great-grandmother Field once was; and how in her youth she was esteemed the best dancer — here Alice's little right foot played an involuntary movement, till upon my looking grave, it desisted19 — the best dancer, I was saying, in the county, till a cruel disease, called a cancer, came, and bowed her down with pain; but it could never bend her good spirits, or make them stoop20, but they were still upright, because she was so good and religious. 2015/10/7 5 Then I told how she was used to sleep by herself in a lone chamber of the great lone house; and how she believed that an apparition of two infants21 was to be seen at midnight gliding up and down the great staircase near where she slept, but she said "those innocents22 would do her no harm"; and how frightened I used to be, though in those days I had my maid sleep with me, because I was never half so good or religious as she — and yet I never saw the infants. Here John expanded all his eyebrows and tried to look courageous23. Then I told how good she was to all her grandchildren, having us to the great house in the holidays, where I in particular used to spend many hours by myself, in gazing upon the old busts of the twelve Caesars24, that had been emperors of Rome, till the old marble heads would seem to live again, or I to be turned into marble with them25; 2015/10/7 6 how I never could be tired with roaming about that huge mansion, with its vast empty rooms, with their worn-out hangings, fluttering tapestry, and carved oaken panels, with the gilding almost rubbed out — sometimes in the spacious old-fashioned gardens, which I had almost to myself, unless26 when now and then a solitary gardening man would cross me — and how the nectarines and peaches hung upon the walls without my ever offering to pluck them, because they were forbidden fruit27, unless now and then — and because I had more pleasure in strolling about among the old melancholy-looking yew-trees, or the firs, and picking up the red berries, and the fir apples, which were good for nothing but to look at — or in lying about upon the fresh grass, with all the fine garden smells around me — or basking in the orangery, till I could almost fancy myself ripening too along with the oranges and the limes in that grateful warmth — or in watching the dace28 — that darted to and fro in the fishpond, at the bottom of the garden, 2015/10/7 7 with here and there a great sulky pike hanging midway down the water in silent state, as if it mocked at their impertinent29 friskings — I had more pleasure in these busy-idle diversions30 than in all the sweet flavors of peaches, nectarines, oranges, and suchlike common baits of children. Here John slyly deposited back upon the plate a bunch of grapes which, not unobserved by Alice, he had meditated dividing with her, and both seemed willing to relinquish them for the present as irrelevant. Then in somewhat a more heightened tone, I told how, though their great-grandmother Field loved all her grandchildren, yet in an especial manner she might be said to love their uncle, John L — 31, because he was so handsome and spirited a youth, and a king to the rest of us; and, instead of moping about in solitary corners, like some of us, he would mount the most mettlesome horse he could get, when but an imp no bigger than themselves, and make it carry him half over the county in a morning, 2015/10/7 8 and join the hunters when there were any out — and yet he loved the old great house and gardens too, but had too much spirit to be always pent up32 within their boundaries — and how their uncle grew up to man's estate33 as brave as he was handsome, to the admiration of everybody, but of their great-grandmother Field most especially; and how he used to carry me upon his back when I was a lame-footed boy — for he was a good bit older than me — many a mile when I could not walk for pain; — and how in after-life34 he became lame-footed too, and I did not always (I fear) make allowances enough for him when he was impatient, and in pain, nor remember sufficiently how considerate he had been to me when I was lame-footed; and how when he died, though he had not been dead an hour, it seemed as if he had died a great while ago, such a distance there is betwixt life and death; and how I bore his death as I thought pretty well at first, but afterwards it haunted and haunted me; and though I did not cry or take it to heart as some do, and as I think he would have done if I had died, 2015/10/7 9 yet I missed him all day long, and knew not till then how much I had loved him. I missed his kindness, and I missed his crossness, and wished him to be alive again, to be quarreling with him (for we quarreled sometimes), rather than not have him again, and was as uneasy without him, as he, their poor uncle35, must have been when the doctor took off his limb. Here the children fell a-crying, and asked if their little mourning which they had on was not for Uncle John, and they looked up, and prayed me not to go on about their uncle, but to tell them some stories about their pretty dead mother. Then I told how for seven long years, in hope sometimes, sometimes in despair, yet persisting ever, I courted the fair Alice W-n36; and, as much as children could understand, I explained to them what coyness, and difficulty, and denial37 meant in maidens — when suddenly, turning to Alice, 2015/10/7 10 the soul of the first Alice38 looked out at her eyes with such a reality of representment, that I became in doubt which of them stood there before me, or whose that bright hair was; and while I stood gazing, both the children gradually grew fainter to my view, receding, and still receding till nothing at last but two mournful features were seen in the uttermost distance, which without speech, strangely impressed upon me the effects of speech: "We are not of Alice39, nor of thee, nor are we children at all. The children of Alice call Bartrum40 father. We are nothing; less than nothing, and dreams. We are only what might have been, and must wait upon the tedious shores of Lethe41 millions of ages before we have existence and a name"— and immediately awaking, I found myself quietly seated in my bachelor armchair, where I had fallen asleep, with the faithful Bridget42 unchanged by my side — but John L. (or James Elia43) was gone forever44. 2015/10/7 11 Notes 1. to stretch their imagination to the conception of a traditionary great-uncle or grandame: to stimulate them to imagine a certain great-uncle or grandame of theirs 2. my little ones: my imaginary children 3. their great-grandmother Field: Mary Field, Lamb's grandmother, who had been a housekeeper of the Plumers for 50 years, keeping Blakesware in Hertfordshire 4.

Zazi: Kayden and Apocalypse
Meita tells me that Violet's death was Arc's fault but I don't know whether I can accept that yet.It just feels like any time I try to befriend somebody, harm falls on them- and this time the harm caused death…My heart hurts like it's being burnt whenever I think of her.
"Violet was special" Meita then says. I know, I think, Far too special to die like that…
My thoughts are interrupted by a shout from nearby: 'shut up you!' Orphian had just said. I frown; how could he have heard what we were saying, talking in the quietest of whispers at the other end of the large garden.
" Not you. Apocalypse." Orphian replies, but I still don't what he is on about. Suddenly, Meita puts a hand to her head and almost falls in agony.
"…Apocalypse…" she manages to whisper.
"What? I'm sorry I don't under-" I begin but stop as Meita gingerly lifts a thin hand to point at a spot in the garden. A spot right behind me. I spin around to see a figure standing with one hand outstretched towards Meita.
"Apocalypse, I presume?" I snarl, pushing any humane thoughts out of my head and becoming 'one' with the nature around me, "Stop that now! You caught me in a very bad mood; not wise." I pounce at him whilst desperately calling in my head, KAYDEN. APOCALYPSE…TELL EVERYONE…NEED HELP. GARDEN.
She arrives with most of the others less than a minute later, and not a moment too soon; Meita has been released from Apocaypse's hold, but now he is trying to manipulate the Earth around me to grab and *thwack* me with vines and stiff branches.
"Zazi!" Kayden yells as she enters the garden, and this momentarily takes Apocalypse off his guard. Just long enough for me to slip out of his grip and for Kayden to start running towards him too.
On seeing her, Apocalypse flicks out his hands lazily and instantly Kayden is thrown over five metres, through the large glass windows, landing heavily on the stone floor of the house. Several screams of 'Kayden' are heard, but to me, it's now like the World is moving in slow motion. Suddenly it seems to speed up again, and I am standing beside the crumpled heap that is Kayden; there's nothing I can do, and other people like Aurili are starting to tend to the wounds. I hear Apocalypse's evil laugh from the garden (Jeez, for a six-year- old that kid is evil!) and can see Brandon and Orphian trying to battle him. I still feel angry at Orphian for the remarks against Ian, but now I also feel a bit of respect for the guy risking his life, once again, for people like us. But I suppose that's what being in the UNIT is: working together and risking our lives for the freedom of others.
The cut on Kayden's head is bleeding badly, but I don't think about her wellbeing now. All I can think is 'It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all MY FAULT!' I turn away from the girl and run as fast as I can upstairs, the voice in my head constantly muttering:
It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!

SOME 73 employees of G4S Brunei and Sphere Services Sdn Bhd (S3) were awarded for their long service during a reception at the Badi'ah Hotel in Jalan Tutong yesterday.
On hand to present the awards was the guest of honour, Ahmad Isa in his capacity as one of the G4S directors. According to him, their staff is the main asset and has undoubtedly upheld the core values of G4S and S3 in terms of customer focus, integrity, expertise, best performance, teamwork and collaboration.
He also highlighted on challenges they have experienced from instability in the management team to lapses in judgment, work ethics and failure to follow standard operating procedures.
"However, I am pleased that whenever such challenges arise, we are able to identify, rectify and overcome them and ensure that same weaknesses are not repeated."
The ability to address and overcome such challenges is vital and again points to the importance of having properly trained, motivated and dedicated staff.
"My fellow directors and I believe that with continued teamwork and communication, we will continue to achieve and sustain the growth of G4S Brunei and S3. We hope to remain the top choice for existing and potential customers in this ever-competitive market," he concluded.
Meanwhile, Managing Director Jorge Vega highlighted that clients and employees build the company's success, which is achieved when clients are of high ethical standards to maintain the integrity of their organisations. Thus, they are completely opposed to bribery and corruption in any form and no employee can accept money, gifts or inducements from others trying to influence them to perform their work.
Vega futher disclosed that 2014 has seen both companies achieving several targets. The first was to be 100 per cent compliant with the Labour Act 2009, which is already in place. "This will differentiate our company against competitors on how we treat our employees. This of course, increases the loyalty of our staff while decreasing the high turnover that our industry is facing," he added.
The company is also introducing on the job training and full implementation of Skywalker, a guarding time attendance software capturing employees' schedules and worked hours. He also highlighted the latest implementation on Health & Safety, which will conclude by the first quarter of 2015. As the company takes the welfare of its employees seriously, actions taken will ensure that they maintain the highest standards in the country.
Three G4S employees received the 15-years service award, seven received the 10 years award and 43 G4S employees for the five years award. Meanwhile, 20 employees from S3 received the five-years service award.

I took up my usual position as striker, with Heidi as my left wing, Julie my right and the rest of them behind me. It was only five a-side, but no bigger than we had ever played. As of then, we had not played another team. I suppose it showed, we weren't very good.
On the one shrill blast of Miss Davis' whistle, one of my team mates booted the ball towards us. Heidi darted around one of the midfielders, gaining possession of the ball and thus not earning her any record of foul play. My track record was good. I had never injured, accidentally or on purpose, anyone and I took pride in that. It summed me up in one pointless act of achievement. My heart surged as the ball made contact with my foot, seeming to mould to my form. Only times like those could I truly be one with the ball, the pitch, the players. Home. I laughed. Stumbling slightly, one of the other team slide tackled me and was up again before I could turn around.
Man, I was getting slow. When had that happened?
We played backwards and forwards for ten minutes, neither side scoring a goal, at least we were evenly matched.
"Cross it, Heidi, cross it!" I yelled as my friend fell into the perfect position.
She chipped it over the last defenders head in the perfect angle for me to header it into the goal.
Lots of things happened all at once then.
I jumped for the ball. Everyone gasped. Heidi screamed my name. Miss Davis was running towards me. But I noticed none of this at the time, all that mattered was the air filled ball and the awaiting net. I headed it perfectly and the ball swished in the goal. I cheered and only stopped when I realised the goalie had not moved and no one else was cheering.
Heidi was close to tears. Miss Davis had stopped a few feet from me and everyone else was staring in utter shock.
"What?" I asked, then I realised, "You think that would?" I stopped short, not knowing how to continue.
"I'm so stupid!" Heidi exhaled and trotted up to me, throwing her arms around my neck. Naturally I hugged her back, then I turned to face my team mates who had gathered around.
"Just because I have this thing," I began, "Does not mean I'm someone different. It doesn't hurt me. How can my passion hurst me?" I laughed, "I'm still Alli, I'm not going to change. And until I can no longer walk, I will always play football with you lot. Please, don't treat me any differently than you used to. None of you can ever damage me."
"We're sorry." Miss Davis put her hand on my shoulder, "I guess we just have to adjust to seeing you as breakable, but realising you know your own limits better than we do. Time to go home girls, see you next week."

Library Resources for POS 3713/6933
One comment on evaluating resources. The How to Guides and More page provides another set of tutorials and helpful links. When you are using the USF Libraries resources, you are using resources that have already been evaluated at some level. However, when you do a general Internet search, such as through Yahoo, Google, Lycos, or Altavista, you are accessing pages that could have been created by anyone. Look at these resources with a critical eye. The How-to evaluate sources guide will provide you with points to keep in mind.
For example, take a look at The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases for arthritis information. This organization is a division of the National Institute of Health. On the other hand, a site such as the MSM Supplement Center might also have valid information, but their main objective is to sell a product. As with any paper advertisement, this would not be an appropriate research source unless comparing advertisement methods was part of your research.
Want to know the "real" story about man walking on the moon? Take a look at A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon. They have proof that Apollo 11 never traveled to the moon at all! On the other hand, look at the Wikipedia entry for Bad Astronomy from Dr. Philip Plait. The link to his page (which has been down recently) is linked from the Wikipedia page, along with information about his efforts. He discusses misconceptions about Astronomy and sets the record straight. Would you prefer a government site about space exploration? Well, that's an easy one. Take a look at NASA.
DON'T do it! Plagiarizing is stealing other people's intellectual property! It's also a good way to fail your class. Plagiarism happens when you use someone else's words without quoting them or providing your source of information. Even if you paraphrase their words, use their line of thinking, information or ideas, cite your source of information! This also applies when you use a special term coined by the author of your source. When in doubt, provide a citation to let the reader know where you found your information. There are some good sites that provide not only further information on plagiarizing and how to avoid it, but some specific examples of paraphrasing versus plagiarizing. Please take a look:

The Top 50 best Pokemon (In my opinion of course)
The Top 50 most amazing pokemon as decided by me.
We have 649 pokemon. That's 649 different monsters. Is it possible to narrow it down to 50? I'll sound find out.
Using the best judgment I have and devising a tournement, the pokemon will go through rounds of judging to see who will be victorious.
No stats, no learnset, no anime cameos. Just the pokemon, their design, their origin and most importantly: their awesomeness.
I know this intro is a bit short and crappy but I just wanted an intro so No.50 could have a header and title. Speaking of No.50, its just around the corner.

'THE ROAD WITHIN': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five)
A remake of the 2010 German drama flick 'VINCENT WANTS TO SEA'; about a teen with Tourette Syndrome, who befriends two other patients (one with OCD and one with anorexia) at the behavioral facility his dad enrolls him in. They steal their doctor's car and embark on a road trip together, to the coast. The film was written and directed by Gren Wells (in her directorial debut) and it stars Robert Sheehan, Dev Patel, Zoe Kravitz, Kyra Sedgwick and Robert Patrick. I enjoyed it immensely.
Vincent (Sheehan) is a teenager, that's suffered from Tourette's disorder; most of his life. His mother, who he was very close to, recently passed away; and his father (Patrick), who he's long resented, wants to enroll him in a special clinic. Once there, he's roomed with Alex (Patel); a young British man, with obsessive compulsive disorder. Alex is furious that he has to share his room with another person, and he immediately takes a disliking to Vincent. Vincent also meets Marie (Kravitz), at the facility, who he's immediately attracted to. Marie has a severe eating disorder, and pretty much won't eat anything. After Marie and Vincent get into trouble, with their doctor (Sedgwick), they decide to steal her car and head to the coast; so Vincent can spread his mother's ashes there. When Alex catches them in the act, they kidnap him and take him along with them.
The movie is equally funny and emotional. It's not overly heartbreaking though; as it has a lot of optimism, and a great deal of compassion (for it's characters). What I really love about the film, though, are the performances; Sheehan, Patel and Kravitz are all amazing in it (and Patrick and Sedgwick aren't bad either). I found the three lead characters to be all very likable, and relatable too, despite their flaws. It's a very touching and well made movie, especially for outsiders and misfits (like most great films are).

Foundations of AOP for J2EE Development
pp 149-170
Design Patterns and AOP
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
In this chapter, we presented the aspect-oriented implementation of five well-known design patterns: Singleton, Observer, Command, Chain of Responsibility, and Proxy.
For these five cases, the implementation follows this principle: an abstract aspect is defined to hold the code that is generic in the implementation of the pattern. This abstract aspect defines abstract pointcuts that designate the locations in the program where the pattern is to be integrated and the conditions under which the pattern must be triggered. This abstract aspect is then extended to define the code, which is specific to, for example, a command or a proxy.
The aspect-oriented implementations of these five design patterns lead to solutions that are more interesting than pure object-oriented, aspect-free implementations. It is, however, not the case for all existing design patterns. Patterns such as the Factory pattern or the Inter- preter pattern do not benefit as much from aspects.
• The pattern defines a crosscutting structure.
• The four criteria of locality, reusability, composition transparency, and (un)pluggability defined by Hannemann and Kiczales are met.
• The pattern leaves the structure of the base program unchanged.

Home/Calcium Love
Journey SuperCal Calcium Caps
Specialized 'Super' Calcium taken up at twice the rate of other forms of calcium salts. Small & Easy to Swallow capsules.
Journey SuperCal is Easy Calcium. It's SuperCalifragilisticexpialidocious!
For 25 years we've been told 'bariatric patients need calcium citrate' but there are now more modern, specialized forms of calcium that are even better than ordinary calcium citrate.
The calcium form used in Journey SuperCal, patented Dimacal® – Dicalcium Malate – does not require acidification for absorption and is absorbed over a much longer segment of the small intestine, giving the bariatric post surgical patient a much larger surface area for uptake. These properties make SuperCal ideal for bariatric calcium supplementation.
"A popular bariatric physician once said, 'If bariatric deficiencies hurt, we'd all take our supplements!' At 10 years post op, I needed a titanium plate with 7 screws in my ankle from a bone loss deficiency fracture – many of our support group members have fractured a wrist and or ankle in household slips – and loss of teeth in longterm bariatric patients is common. Calcium deficiencies do hurt and longterm post ops need to WAKE UP as when it happens to you, it is too late!" – Susan Maria Leach, founder Bariatric Eating, 2001 RNY, author Before & After (HarperCollins Publishers)
Journey SuperCal is efficient, meaning you don't need a 'crazy high' amount to get your required dose:
– Highest bioavailability with little or no absorption interference
– Backed by research and patents for minerals and mineral absorption
– Most absorbable and bioavailable form of calcium available in the world
– Absorbs almost completely into the body to meet the recommended dietary intake
Not all calcium is alike. Dicalcium malate is an especially rich source of elemental calcium since it is comprised of two calcium molecules attached to each malic acid molecule. Malic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in apples and cherries. In a study of calcium absorption in humans, dicalcium malate demonstrated the longest half-life and greatest bioavailability, compared to other forms of calcium.
Check the calcium content of your other vitamins and think about the dietary calcium you take in from your food to determine your total calcium intake – then estimate what you lack. Most post ops consume 500 or more mg of calcium each day from almond milk, spinach, yogurt & dairy milk.*
Directions: As a dietary supplement, adults take one or two capsules daily, preferably with food or as recommended by a health professional. Each capsule is 250mg elemental 'super' calcium.
*Mechanick Jl, et al. AACE/TOS/ASMBS Bariatric Surgery Clinical Practice Guidelines, Endocr Pract. 2013;19 (No. 2)
Journey supplements are screened for harmful toxins and do not contain aluminum, lead, mercury, or cadmium. Manufactured in the USA with stringent Good Manufacturing Practices.
Use Journey 3+3 as your supplement base. For pre-existing deficiencies, add the appropriate Journey components… Apple D3 Drops, or Gentle Iron as directed by your bariatric healthcare team.

3 reviews for Journey SuperCal Calcium Caps
I have been taking these calcium capsules for a while now, and my calcium levels are good. They are small capsules and esay to swallow.
These caps are easy enough to swallow–not too terribly large–and my calcium levels stay good with them. Will keep ordering!
I don't stop when I am at work and was not good with chewing all the chalk. Could not stand Bariatric Advantage Cherry as I was chewing all day long – big mouth full of sour cherry chalk. Ugh. Love that Journey are available in capsules and that they use cutting edge form of calcium. Love that BE owner is staying on top of things and making improvements to what is available to us!

Unfortunately, we just missed a ceremony celebrating the opening of the Michaelmas Term of the High Court in Stafford. This is apparently to do with the Office of the High Sheriff which can be traced back more than 1000 years to the reign of a Saxon King. The service had finished only about an hour before we arrived and ...

Reuben: The Filth of AristocracyMature
"A dæmon? Certainly that accusation is a bit rash," Reuben reassured Wulfrik, "Still, he seems...unpredictable. What say ye? Shall we ride to the capital?"
"Well, we're already on the horses. Who knows? This may make for a good laugh," chuckled Wulfrik.
"Lead the way," Reuben demanded.
Wulfrik kicked his horse, signaling it forward in a hurry. Reuben followed not too far behind, with the lingering doubt of their current situation. However, those thoughts conflicted with an insatiable bloodlust, hidden by the facade of Obitulem. It was about time to kill.
Who would that victim be? Reuben yearned to sink the crown of his lance into the minister's pelvis, to symbolize that he had such balls to command the Brothers of Purgatory. Perhaps impale him with his daggers in each of his beady grey eyes. And if he screamed enough, he would let Wulfrik have a few slashes with his sword to finish him off. Reuben would love to hang him in the middle of that tavern.
Ten miles, just about. The capital disgusted Reuben. He grew weary of the extravagance of aristocracy. His existence revolved around the duplicitous campaigns of his father, and the massive quantities of gold that would pile high against the walls. Why not make an honest living, and practice your religion also?
Wulfrik read the lowered corners of Reuben's lips, "You never were one for nobility, were you?"
"My father taught me to hate anyone with more money than me," Reuben spat at the cobblestone road.
"Don't fret. We take whatever job and we don't come back."
"Anything to get me out of this heavenly steeple."
The Brothers approached the castle, which was the pinnacle of grandiose self-indulgence. The outer bastion was constructed entirely of marble, with spires crafted by ornate jade. They were separated by thin strips of gold. A filthy display of arrogance among the upper class.
"Where is the minister?" asked Wulfrik.
"Asserting dominance over the king, if he is the dæmon you believe him to be."
The doors began to creak open. These were not gilded with gold like the rest of the castle, but with silver. Reuben was no stranger to this tactic; his parents did the same thing. Pytham was running low on gold, so they substitute it with silver. Reuben laughed at the lack of subtlety.
The minister slithered through the slight opening between the doors, calmly surveying us.
Reuben sensed it almost immediately: bows trained on each of them, yet again. It was difficult to hear, but the slight twang of a bowstring being pulled back vibrated against the air.
He whispered to Wulfrik, "How many archers?"
"Around fourteen. The front door will be a terrible escape route."
Reuben smirked at the thought of a battle.
"I guess I cannot hide a single soldier from your keen senses," the minister shrugged, "I assure you they are only outposted for the protection of the king, if his safety were to ever be compromised."
"I will believe when the king tells us himself, and not his lap dog," Reuben laughed.
"Well," smiled the minister, "allow me to take you to him."
The throne room was nothing new: a parade to flaunt their fleeting wealth. The minister took his position underneath the throne's right, and occupying the left, another man draped in similar garments. Pytham had two ministers? They should just stick with the one and appoint the grey-eyed one to court jester. Make him actually work for his pay.
His Highness was a jolly glutton, reminding Reuben of Santa Claus. His salt-and-pepper beard fell to his chest, and he was smiling. If Reuben was not receiving a job, he would spit on him.
The minister introduced the Brothers, "The Brothers of Purgatory, as requested, your High—"
"I have eyes, Minister," he spoke sternly, replicating an entirely new demeanor. "You two," he glared at them.
He examined them cautiously, reading us, "are certainly the Brothers of Purgatory. Your tattoos don't tell a lie."
Reuben stepped forward, "Reuben Mast—Mattinson of Austantis."
Wulfrik joined him, "Wulfrik of Roktar. I do not garner a surname."
"Very well. Now, I will assign you your mission. I need you both…"
He stopped again. This time, to steady his breath.
"...to hunt me a witch."

As marketers, it's our job to know our audience. To understand their pain points. To empathize. To provide them with the answers or solutions they're looking for.
So how do we do all these things? One way is through content marketing.
Over the past few years, content marketing has been increasingly embraced by marketers. In fact, this year 88% of B2B marketers and 76% of B2C marketers said they used content marketing, according to the 2016 Benchmark, Budgets & Trends—North America reports from Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs.
But there are still a lot people out there who are searching for some of the content marketing basics.

Almost two years ago, I wrote about how the next generation was going to be pissed off at us for our environmental negligence and overall lack of action-taking on climate change and species extinction. Well, I was wrong.
The kids that are coming of age now (Generation Z or Generation Naught) are not only taking our dithering on major environmental issues without much complaint, they are taking all kinds of creative action. Here are four great examples.
GreenDream and the Ultimate Green Classroom
I had the chance to visit Beachwood High School in Ohio this past fall. The high school kids (along with teacher and Heart of Green winner Greg Perry) were focused on green business in their Marketing class, and then took it to a whole new level. Not only did they raise enough funds (over $100,000) to construct "The Ultimate Green Classroom" and had it built, they came up with a working business plan and executed it for the GreenDream event. A day-long event that included green and sustainable vendors from throughout the region, it drew hundreds and hundreds of visitors, curious about natural products, solar panels, local food and more.
Teens Turning Green: Educating Their Peers
The (mostly) girls behind Teens Turning Green are helping make their fellow teens aware of toxins and reducing their exposure. Suggestions for natural and organic personal care products (shampoo, body wash, etc.) and makeup (through the Teens for Safe Cosmetics arm of the group) helps their fellow teens become familiar with the potential exposure issues and their consequences, and there are plenty of product suggestions to help them find greener options.
Teens Turning Green's most recent project is called Project Green Dorm, and encourages college students to keep the planet's resources in mind. Encouraging use of electricity-saving gadgets and electronics, investing in organic bedding, and safe paints, it makes dorm rooms more about health and less about crazy partying (well, maybe there's room for both!).
Maura Bennet and Converse One Star/Target: Messaging Through Video
Maura Bennet, who won second place in the Converse One Star/Target Video Contest is only 11, but she's worried. And took action by making a video that beat out thousands of others. Her words about taking responsibility are inspiring and a poignant antidote to the all too common attitude of many people my age who say things like 'what I do doesn't matter.'
"What I do know is that I matter — that what I do matters," says Maura. "The footprint I leave on this world matters." For just one girl, she has a lot to say.
Aitan Grossman and KidEarth: Global Warming Recognition Through Song
Aitan Grossman, the 12-year-old boy behind KidEarth, is doing what he can with something as simple as a song. Aitan says plainly, "I am a 12 year old boy who likes music and doesn't like global warming. I am not old enough to solve the problem. But I am old enough to convince others to try by having school children from every continent sing my "100 Generations" song with me." Schoolchildren around the world, including France, Botswana, Ethiopia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Taiwan have taken up the call and have made their own versions of the songs and recorded them.
Kids and school groups who want to join in can do so, the song recording is open to all. For us old folks, "100 Generations" can be downloaded from iTunes and Amazon MP3 and "sales will support nonprofit groups fighting climate change. Aitan's favorites are Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection and the World Wildlife Fund.
