Black Crowns' is the newest product from GC Music and is an ultra high quality collection of Urban Construction Kits.

Best of all, these Construction Kits are Royalty-Free, meaning you can use them in personal or commercial compositions at no extra cost.
Included in this collection are bangin' 808's and sub-basses, complex, live recorded Orchestral passages, live recorded electric and acoustic guitars, dynamic piano progressions composed and performed by a classically-trained session pianist, beautiful, and custom-programmed synth elements, including shimmering leads.
Ambient sample-based pads, thick basslines, jaw-dropping custom Hip Hop drum samples and patterns (created from acoustic and analogue sources), and fresh, original, SFX, build-ups, and transitions are included.
GC music are not responsible for damaged speakers and busted ear drums that occur as a result of listening to these bangers, proceed at your own discretion.
It's also worth noting that rather than simply brick wall limiting every sound into the preverbial squashed, lifeless, 0db peaking state that producers are so used to seeing, each sound is meticulously processed without the use of brick wall limiting to ensure maximum fidelity, punch, dynamics, and most importantly, usability.
Product Details:

• All Key Signatures and Tempos Provided
• 5 Multi-Track Construction Kits
• 5 Full MIDI Program Files
• 5 Fully Arranged, Professionally Mixed and Mastered, Radio Ready Demo Files

Very much enjoyed our stay with one exception - the bed in Room 17 was hard as a rock! Centrally located, wonderful breakfasts, terrific service by employees, nice rooms. If only the inn had spent a little more money on a comfortable mattress! My advice? Make sure you ask about the mattress. I've stayed here a couple of times before but never had this problem. Unfortunately the inn was full for our visit so there was no chance of changing rooms

Beautiful historic rooms. Close walk to Byward Market. (15 min)

We enjoyed out stay at McGee's. It is centrally located. We walked to everything! The room we chose was small but comfortable. It was very quiet too, which is important to us. The only thing I would suggest is that coffee be available whenever a guest wakes up. We had to wait until our confirmed breakfast time (7:30, 8:00 or 8:30) and we did not always get our first choice on that. You did not get coffee until you sat down for breakfast. There is a Keurig machine available all day after breakfast, but it should be available before breakfast as well. We were very pleased to find an afternoon snack available when we returned from a long day of visiting museums and walking.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Mcgee Inn on Saturday night as part of our anniversary weekend stay-cation and had a wonderful time. Check-in was smooth (be sure to have $7.50 cash for parking) and the room was spotless and cosy. We stayed in rm 15 and had no complaints. Comfortable bed, clean bathroom and fascinating artifacts of Canadian history all around the house. Breakfast the next morning was perfect. I had the eggs Benedict (highly recommended) and my bf had the scrambled eggs and sausages. Check-out is by 11am and just a smooth as check-in. The hosts and servers were wonderful and attentive. I would highly recommend this B and B to anyone looking to stay in downtown ottawa without staying in a mainstream hotel. Very happy.

Staying at McGee's Inn during my last visit to Ottawa proved to be an excellent choice. The building is old and very well kept. The staff is welcoming and willing to assist and help always with a smile. The location is phenomenal: a few minutes walk to Parliament Hill and Byward Market. The parking space is limited, understandable considering the location. Parking on the street is available and trouble free on weekends. Overall, I highly recommend the place.

I stayed at McGee's Inn in July and really enjoyed everything about the place. Breakfast was delicious, rooms are well decorated and very comfortable, the people who own the place were very polite and very helpful and it was really nice to relax in the courtyard out front when the weather was nice. Loved the wifi that worked well.
3,2 su giugno 16, 2015
Our room was light and bright which we appreciated. The location was excellent as we could walk to all the key attractions. Clientele in the breakfast room were very quiet and not very engaging (nobody's fault). But this did make the atmosphere less fun. Otherwise a great stay. Our room was made up every day and this was much appreciated. The building is stunning. I do recommend this place.

The hotel is in a great location, walking distance to downtown Ottawa but is in a calm & beautiful residential neighborhood. There's a beautiful garden up front where you can dit down and relax. Very welcoming staff. The breakfast was good, but a bit small. We slept there for 2 night in the long weekend of May and so, parking was a bit of a challenge. The downside is that there is a $7.50 fee for parking at the Hotel, but there was none available. Overall.Ii would recommend this hotel to anyone!
1 queen bed, private bathroom located outside the room with tub and shower.

Domestic abuse practitioners
There is a great deal of multi-agency work being carried out in Bracknell Forest.
Bracknell Forest domestic abuse forum
The Bracknell Forest domestic abuse forum is a group of professionals from a number of both statutory and voluntary services, who collectively aim to increase awareness and services to those affected by domestic abuse.
The forum aims to identify and promote good practice, ensuring that agencies know about each other and provide them with the opportunity to develop a multi-agency strategy aimed at reducing the level of domestic abuse in the borough of Bracknell Forest.
The domestic abuse forum leads on delivering actions outlined in the domestic abuse work plan.
Multi-agency training
In order to identify and support someone experiencing domestic abuse, it is key that local professionals, whether working in a statutory or voluntary agency, are equipped with the appropriate knowledge and skills.
There are various training events available for professionals working in this field:
- introduction to domestic abuse training
- MARAC (multi agency risk assessment) and DASH (domestic abuse, stalking, harassment and honour based violence) risk indicator checklist training
Practitioners guide
The practitioners guide to domestic abuse (PDF, 2932kb) provides local practitioners with information and contact details for support agencies. This guide is maintained by the Berkshire East domestic abuse co-ordinator.
A quarterly domestic abuse newsletter (PDF, 343kb) is also produced which contains up-to-date local and national information.

Lelia stared, horrified. First this prisoner had tried to take the street rat, which Princess had prevented. She had wanted to help but was too busy deflecting the half-transparent, ghostlike things. Not only could they touch you but they could get inside your mind as well, bringing your worst fears to the surface, and your desires, crushing them, taunting you with the fact that you could never have what you wanted. As she glanced towards Tophat, she could tell it was affecting him too.
Now, the blue man had taken possession of Princess, but she seemed to be fighting. She was stronger than she thought. Her eyes had went from petrifying black pits to normal eyes with a colour that was not hers as she seemed to have an internal battle.
Finally she had calmed. The black eyes had won over but her demeanour was unlike the pitiless servant's. Princess spoke- her voice was male, but not the nails-on-chalkboard hiss of the servant.
"I am William Samson... There was a battle going on inside of Tessa. The servant is gone and I am in possession. She's damaged but her soul will be salvaged. Merlin is dead; the time has come. The survivors must stay alive and fight."
"A lot of help that is, William," Lelia snorted. "What are we supposed to do with a possessed body anyway? She'll kill us in our sleep in this state, it'll damage her so much."
"We can't just leave her," said Street Rat in a small voice. "She saved me..."
"I'm not much for sentiments but Xavier is right, we can't leave her," Tophat says. "But we can't walk into a supermarket with her, either, so food will have to wait. Let's just get out of these woods."

Founded in 1895, La Biennale di Venezia is the oldest and most widely recognized contemporary art event in the world. While the Biennale's roots are in the visual arts, its scope now encompasses theatre, music, dance, film and architecture.
The International Art Exhibition runs from May to November in alternating years. The opening weeks of the exhibition see the "who's who" of the art world assemble in Venice. Artists, museum directors, curators, gallerists, collectors and journalists from influential global newspapers, magazines, television and Web media are drawn to the Biennale to see acclaimed contemporary artists from around the world and to take the pulse of the international art scene. In 2015 eighty-nine countries participated in the Biennale's 56th International Art Exhibition, which drew over half a million visitors.
Canada's representation at the Biennale has played a part in shaping the role and place of Canadian contemporary art within international circles. The Canada Pavilion has helped to launch the international careers of many of our most celebrated artists, including Emily Carr, David Milne, Alfred Pellan, Paul-Émile Borduas, Jean Paul Riopelle, Jean Paul Lemieux, Alex Colville, Guido Molinari, Michael Snow, General Idea, Liz Magor, Geneviève Cadieux, Rodney Graham, Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller, Jana Sterbak, Rebecca Belmore, David Altmejd, Mark Lewis, Steven Shearer, Shary Boyle and BGL.
Located in the heart of the historic Giardini di Castello, the Canada Pavilion boasts one of the most desirable locations in Venice. The Venice Biennale is the only international visual arts exhibition to which Canada sends official representation.

Harvard's "Hasty Pudding Theatricals," a club famous for somehow convincing a celebrity to show up to its annual Man of the Year ceremony and don women's clothing because THAT'S SO FUNNY, UGH, FORGET IT, YOU'RE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO GET IT, has chosen a somewhat controversial honoree for 2011: On February 4, Jay Leno will be crowned the group's Man of the Year. That's a clear thumbing of the nose at famed Harvard alumnus Conan Christopher O'Brien, whose legacy at the Ivy League institution (Mather House resident, Lampoon president, inventor of a primitive precursor to Facemash utilizing no computers and 5000 Uno decks) is somewhat legendary.
What will the members of Coco Nation have to say about this travesty? Will they picket the ceremony, hoisting giant placards reading, "GOD HATES JAY?" Will Jay cross the picket lines (again)? Developing!

Great Deal 01/20/2013
This review is from: HP Desktop PC DC5850 Athlon 64 X2 2.3 GHz 4GB 750 GB HDD Windows 7 Home Premium
Win 7 HP, 4GB RAM, 750GB
32-bit OS, standard DVD drive
Other Thoughts:
Know what you are getting before buying...
The first thing I did was blow away Win7 HP 32-bit and replaced it with Win7 HP 64-bit -- no special drivers were necessary (but I did download and install them anyway).
I also swapped the DVD drive for a DVD burner.
Note this is SFF, so I am not sure about the availability or price for a bigger power supply or graphics card to play games. This isn't for games at all, so I am not worried.
Overall a good system for the money. "Upgrading" the OS and DVD drive make it a great box.

Quilting is my Therapy
I love all things related to quilting! I started my quilting career over 10 years ago at the side of my husband's grandpa. He patiently taught me the art of quilting by helping me make my first quilt, a 9 patch quilt that is still on my bed today. I can't believe how much has changed since that first quilt! I am still a quilter, of course, but now I can add Author, Quilting Teacher, and Fabric Designer to my resume. I am still so amazed by that! I have written several books, including "Free-Motion Quilting with Angela Walters", "In the Studio with Angela Walters" and the "Free-motion Quilting Workbook." If there is one thing that I love as much as quilting, it's talking about quilting. I love to give lectures and teach quilting classes. I also have classes online with Craftsy with the most recent being "Dot to Dot Quilting". And, since I don't think I am quite busy enough, I also design fabric. I have also quilted for several books, magazines and publications, and I feel that I am so fortunate to have the best customers! But, no matter what accomplishments I list on my bio, it pales in comparison to the titles I hold in my personal life: Mother to three adorable children, Wife to my awesome husband for over 13 years, and confirmed coffee addict. And of course, Grandpa's Girl."

Cafe Worker VS Hot Chef
Sophie Sin
Smashwords Edition
Copyright 2012 Lunatic Ink Publishing
First Act: Brotherly Love
It's rare to find a female chef in this country. It's even more rare to find one who is attractive. Even more rare than that though, and I am talking extremely rare now, is to find one with a decent personality and who doesn't obsess over alcohol and the next pay check. This woman, the blond sweetheart of a chef at the cafe I work at, has been rocking my world day in and day out for months now and I am at a lose as to what to do about it. I mean, she is GORGEOUS, but also unapproachable.
The reason why enters the cafe with a smile on his face as if summoned by my thoughts of him.

With Valentine's Day looming, I've chosen two stylish roses. The first is one of the best New World rose sparkling wines made by the champagne method, the second the real thing. 1995 Green Point Brut Rose pounds 12.99, Wine Rack, Majestic, from Moet et Chandon's cellars in Australia's Yarra Valley, is a rich, creamy-textured, deep bronze-hued blend of mainly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Meanwhile, Gosset Grand Rose, around pounds 30 from wine merchants including Eldridge Pope & branches (01305 251251), Robersons, London W14 (0171-371 2121), Willoughby's, Manchester (0161 6432 2487), Selfridges, Bordeaux Direct (01189 030903), looks expensive, tastes expensive, and is expensive. Pale salmon pink, it's a sprightly, delicate fizz made from around three-fifths Chardonnay and the balance Pinot Noir, with undertones of summer pudding raspberry and redcurrant and a stylish, youthful exuberance.
Whites of the Month
The days of the quality pounds 2.99 wine may be numbered, but not apparently at Somerfield. This month's special is the Challenge Trophy winner: the 1997 Les Marionettes Marsanne, pounds 2.99 (down from pounds 3.99), a ripe, peachy southern French white well worth a punt at its discounted price. Of two excellent whites from the Cape this month, the 1997 Savanha Western Cape Chardonnay, pounds 4.99, Oddbins, is a cleverly constructed, partially barrel-fermented Burgundian-style white from the cellars of Burg & Brook. Its smoky and nutty oak characters marry harmoniously with a buttery richness cut by a nip of lime-fresh acidity. The second, Paul Cluver's 1997 Sauvignon Blanc, pounds 7.99, Tesco, from the cool, apple- growing region of Elgin, is an intensely fragrant example of the Loire Valley's aromatic grape variety with hints of elderflower and exotic yet delicate grapefruity flavours.
Reds of the Month
Look to the Rhone Valley for winter-warming reds in the style - but not necessarily the price - of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The 1996 Sablet, pounds 5.99. Fuller's, for instance, is an intensely aromatic, peppery Rhone village red with a cigar-boxful of spicy fruit and a gutsy astringency which makes it the perfect foil for game-based dishes. Chile remains one of the best- value countries offering fruity, Bordeaux style reds, and Alvaro Espinoza from Carmen is one of the country's best exponents of the style. His 1997 Sierra de los Andes Merlot Cabernet Reserve, pounds 6.99, Marks & Spencer, is an intriguing St Emilion-style blend with the usual predominance of Merlot over Cabernet Sauvignon, plus an extra dollop of Chile's Carmenere grape, also known as Grande Vidure. The result is a powerful, spicily aromatic Rapel/Maipo Valley blend, with oodles of fresh blackcurrant fruitiness and a firm backbone of tannin. And so to Felton Road, a wine which is considerably more exotic, in both taste and location, than it sounds. Hailing from Bannockburn, Central Otago, in New Zealand's near-polar south, Felton Road Pinot Noir is one of a new generation of gorgeously seductive Kiwi reds. The 1997 Felton Road Pinot Noir, pounds 12.90, Haynes Hanson & Clark (0171 259-0102), is packed with spicy cherry and blackcurrant aromas and a seductively fruity palate with the cool-climate clarity you'd expect from New Zealand's picturesque lake district

BeschreibungExcerpt from Living Creatures of Water, Land and Air: For the Fourth Reader Grade
The object of McGuffey's Natural History Readers is primarily to furnish to children both at home and in school, interesting and instructive reading in the form of book literature. While no attempt is made to teach science, the hope is cherished that the descriptions of animal habits and characteristics may, incidentally, stimulate a love of nature, and of science, the interpreter of nature.
"Familiar Animals," addressing a lower grade of advancement, confined its subjects to mammals, because the facts connected with this class are apparent, and are more easily comprehended.
"Living Creatures," in respect to grade of thought and expression, takes a step forward. Treating of animals scarcely less familiar, and even more interesting, it enters the field of the lower groups of animal life, where the facts are more remote from ordinary view, demanding closer attention and thought.
To render the illustrations in the highest degree accurate and helpful, the publishers have employed the services of artists whose study and practice have made them specialists in particular departments of animal drawing.

This invention relates to a packet scheduling system, and in particular to a scheduling system suitable for use in a packet switched network for providing high-speed data transmission.
One significant problem in data networks is that of congestion control, especially at switching nodes which receive incoming data packets from a number of channels, determine the next destination of the incoming packets, and then send the packets to their respective destinations.
There are many practical requirements for the queueing discipline in a switching node. It needs to be simple to implement, especially when the switching node operates at high speed. It needs to be robust in the presence of abnormal traffic generated by misbehaving sources either carelessly or subversively, and it needs to be fair: well-behaved sources should be protected in case of congestion.
Any switching procedure must also introduce minimal delay in the transmission of data. The question of delay is not too critical for non real-time data--for example Internet (IP) transmissions (though even there delay can be a significant problem), but delay is a serious and potentially fatal problem for real-time data transmission. For example in an ATM network, where an otherwise small delay would render video, for example, transmissions impossible or at best of low quality.
Unlike classic data networks, one of the attractive features of ATM-based broadband integrated service digital network (B-ISDN) is the guarantee of end-to-end quality of service (QoS) by the network. This requires the network to provide in each multiplexer or switching node enough buffers to avoid cell loss and to use the necessary scheduling algorithms to meet the requirement of minimal cell delay.
To meet this requirement one proposed method is known as self clocked fair queueing (SCFQ) which is illustrated schematically in FIG. 1. As can be seen from FIG. 1 each arriving packet i in a channel k is provided with a virtual time tag Fk i according to the following algorithm: ##EQU1##
Where Lk i =the packet length of packet i in channel k
Sk =the guaranteed bandwidth of channel k
and v(ai k)=the virtual time tag of the packet in service when packet i of channel k arrives.
The packets are then sorted in a queue based upon the time tag--the smaller the time tag the higher the priority given to the packet--and the packet at the head of the queue is then transmitted to a first-in-first-out (FIFO) server for onward transmission to a high-speed transmission link.
Such a system is very good at providing fairness between different traffic streams. However, the inherent complexity of this virtual time approach makes practical implementation very difficult and expensive. For example, since the virtual clock is the reference for all traffic streams it cannot be reset until all the streams are idle, which in fact seldom happens, which can lead to numerical overflow problems.
A further disadvantage is that the tagged arriving packets must be sorted which inevitably introduces a slight delay in the switching speed.
According to the present invention there is provided a packet scheduling system, comprising:
a plurality of first-in-first-out buffers each corresponding to a respective input stream,
means for allocating credit to each said buffer when said buffer contains at least one data packet and is unable to transmit,
means for successively selecting a buffer holding data to be transmitted based on the credit allocated to said buffers and chosen fairness criteria,
means for transmitting a waiting packet from a said selected buffer to an output transmission link, and
means for reducing the credit of said selected buffer level upon transmission of a waiting packet from said selected buffer.
In preferred embodiments of the present invention it should be noted that each said buffer may comprise an independent buffer associated with a respective input stream, or said buffers may comprise a shared buffer in which each input stream is associated with a linked memory list.
The present invention is applicable both to networks having a variable data packet size such as IP networks, and also to networks in which the packet size is fixed, for example ATM networks.
In one preferred embodiment where the data packets are variable in size and wherein each input stream is allocated a share of the bandwidth of the output transmission link, the selecting means comprises means for determining the credit allocated to each input stream, the bandwidth allocated to each input stream, and the size of the head of line packets waiting to be transmitted in each input stream, and means for sorting the head-of-line packets in accordance with the difference between the size of the head of line packets and the allocated credit as a proportion of the allocated bandwidth, whereby the input stream having an allocated credit closest to the packet size as a proportion of allocated bandwidth is selected for transmission. Following transmission of a packet the credit for the transmitted input stream is reset to zero.
With tis arrangement a fair sharing of the available bandwidth amongst active streams may be obtained based on the reserved bandwidth share such that over a period of time the amount of traffic transmitted by one stream as a fraction of the total traffic transmitted by all streams will be equal to the bandwidth allocated to that stream as a proportion of the total available bandwidth. Other fairness criteria are also possible, however.
In an embodiment wherein the packet size is fixed and identical for all input streams, for example an ATM network, a simplified form of the invention may be employed.
In this embodiment an input stream with the largest reserved bandwidth is allocated as a default reference stream, and the means for selecting the stream to be transmitted comprises means for choosing randomly from all input streams having a credit allocation equal to or greater than the fixed packet size, and means for increasing the credit allocation of all the streams having packets to be transmitted that are unable to transmit by an incremental amount equal to the proportion of their respective bandwidth share to the bandwidth share of the default reference stream. Following transmission of a data packet from an input stream that stream has its credit allocation reduced by the size of a data packet.
The present invention is applicable to both work-conserving systems in which the unused bandwidth reserved for streams having no data packets to transmit is available for use by streams having data packets to transmit, and also non-work-conserving systems in which each stream only has available to it its own reserved bandwidth share.
In one embodiment of the invention corresponding to a non-work-conserving system for transmission of fixed packet size data, eg ATM, the system may be such that a predetermined time interval is defined equal to the time required to transmit one data packet, and wherein for each said time interval that a stream having packets to transmit is unable to transmit the credit for that stream is increased by an increment corresponding to the bandwidth share of that stream as a fraction of the total bandwidth of the output link, and wherein the means for selecting the stream to be transmitted comprises means for comparing the credit allocated to said streams and means for choosing the stream with the largest credit allocation. After a packet has been transmitted that stream has its credit allocation reduced by the size of a data packet.
Some embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates schematically a prior art scheduling proposal,
FIG. 2 illustrates schematically an embodiment of the present invention wherein each input stream is provided with an individual buffer,
FIG. 3 illustrates schematically an embodiment of the present invention wherein a single buffer is shared between a number of input streams, and
FIG. 4 is a plot comparing the packet processing time as a function of network load of a SCFQ system in comparison with two embodiments of the invention.
FIG. 2 shows schematically a network node or ATM multiplexer in which a transmission link of speed C is shared between J independent streams having bandwidth S. The independent streams can represent either individual sources or aggregate streams of sources having the same quality of service (QoS) requirement.
Each incoming independent stream is associated with a dedicated first-in-first-out buffer. These buffers are independent and in each queue the packets are inserted on a FIFO basis and each time the queue is served the head of line (HOL) packet is extracted. As will be described below to each queue a CBFQ-based scheduler associates a counter Ki and at the connection set-up each incoming stream is associated with a share of bandwidth Si, i=1, . . . , J. To ensure stability the total bandwidth of the streams is such that Σi Si ≦C.
An important aspect of the present invention is that credit is allocated to each incoming stream with reference to the onward transmission or otherwise of that stream. To this end a counter Ki is associated to traffic stream i, i=1, . . . , J. As will be described in further detail below an incoming stream gains credit and the value of counter K increases when that stream has data traffic waiting to be transmitted, ie there is at least one waiting packet held in the buffer, but is unable to do so. If the buffer is empty and a given stream is not active, then no credit is allocated to that stream.
In the embodiment of FIG. 2 each stream is provided with an independent buffer. A shared buffer architecture is also possible, however, and an example of a such a possible architecture is shown in FIG. 3.
In the embodiment of FIG. 3 the different incoming streams share the same buffering facilities. However the different streams are logically managed on a per-stream basis. To each stream is associated a linked list of memory addresses pointing to the addresses of the packets of that stream. In this case, two additional variables per stream are needed: the address of the head of the packet, and the address of the tail packet of the stream. With these two variables, upon a packet arrival from stream i, the enqueuer allocates the necessary memory from the free memory stack pointed to by HOL FREE, links the allocated memory to the tail of the list of stream i and updates the pointer Tail i in the pointers table.
The service scheduler after selecting the stream, say stream i, that must be served--in a manner to be described below--based on the table of HOL pointers forwards the address of the HOL packet of stream i to the transmitter. The transmitter then sends the corresponding packet and forwards the memory address to the garbage collector which will return the memory freed by the transmitted packet to the head of the memory stack.
When the transmission link does become available, the scheduling system decides which stream will be transmitted next and then transmits the head of line (HOL) packet from the buffer associated with that stream. This decision is made based on factors such as the credit allocated to each stream, the packet size of the HOL packet in each stream and the bandwidth share of each stream. The precise manner in which these factors are balanced and weighted, however, can vary depending on the nature of the data transmission, eg whether it is IP or ATM, fixed bandwidth, work conserving or non-work conserving and so on. One of the advantages of the present invention lies in its flexibility and in the way it can easily be adapted--as will be described in further detail below--to accommodate such different factors.
The general algorithm upon which the decision is to be made is set out below.
1. Initialize:
At the beginning of operation, set all the counters to zero: Kl =0, l=1, . . . , J
2. Loop:
Let ={j1, . . . , jk } and ||=k such that Queues j1, . . . , jk are currently backlogged;
3. Let Lj.sbsb.n be the size of the HOL packet of Queue jn ε;
4. Sort the backlogged queues according to: ##EQU2## 5. Transmit the HOL packet of Queue j1, and up-date the counters as follows: ##EQU3## 6. End loop (Goto 2).
Thus in this arrangement the next HOL packet to be transmitted is the one in the stream j1 having a sufficient amount of earned credit, with reference to the available bandwidth, to make it the closest to the required amount of time for that packet to be transmitted. The counter for the transmitted stream is then reset at zero, ie zero credit which must then be earned again, while all remaining streams are given additional credit and the algorithm is then repeated for the next packet to be transmitted.
A number of important points should be noted. Firstly only backlogged streams with packets to transmit are given credit when another stream transmits. Empty channels not currently having channels to transmit are not given credit. This prevents problems arising when a silent channel accumulates a vast amount of credit which then allows it to block all other channels once it acquires data to transmit.
Secondly, a counter value for one stream is reset whenever that stream is transmitted which means that values for K are bounded and unlike prior time-tag proposals in which the clock can only be reset when all streams are quiet there is no numerical overflow problem.
The decision over which stream will next be transmitted is not simply based upon which stream has the greatest amount of credit, but on other parameters such as the size L of the packet to be transmitted and the bandwidth S allocated to a particular stream. The smaller the packet size and the larger the bandwidth, the greater the chance of a packet from a given stream is transmitted next. These parameters may be selected appropriately or may be given different weighting, and this makes it possible to implement easily different fairness criteria in different circumstances.
The embodiment described above uses fairness criteria that provide a "fair" sharing of the total available bandwidth among active streams (ie the streams that have packets waiting for transmission) based on the reserved bandwidth shares. That is to say, if two streams i and j are active and have reserved bandwidth shares Si and Sj respectively, then in any time interval where they are continuously active the amount of traffic transmitted by the two streams Wi and Wj should be proportional to their bandwidth shares.
To achieve this the present embodiment applies a selection scheme based on the size of the HOL packet, the counter value K and the bandwidth share. Other fairness criteria, however, might be based, for example, on the queue lengths of the different active streams. For example each traffic stream may be guaranteed a reserved bandwidth share Si first. Any extra bandwidth available from some of the idle traffic streams can be equally divided among all the active traffic streams instead of proportionally divided according to the bandwidth shares of the active streams. This avoids letting the stream with a larger bandwidth share obtaining a larger portion of the extra available bandwidth. This fairness definition implies that all active streams have equal priority to access the extra available bandwidth.
A simpler implementation of the general algorithm can be realized by using the counters to keep track of the remaining time to earn enough credits for the head-of-line (HOL) packet transmission. This is equivalent to letting a new variable Ti be defined as follows: ##EQU4## where Ti represents the remaining time for stream i to earn enough credits for the HOL packet transmission. Ti should be initialised to Li /Si when a packet of stream i first reached the HOL position. With this change of variable from Ki to Ti step 4 of the general algorithm becomes:
Tj1 ≦Tj2 ≦ . . . ≦Tjk
and step 5 becomes:
Tjn ←Tjn -Tj1,∀jn ε\{jl }
Furthermore the present invention provides a general architecture that can easily be implemented in different forms of data networks, such as IP, ATM and non-work conserving networks.
For example, the above described algorithm is a general one for both IP (variable packet size) and ATM (fixed packet size). However, if the network is an ATM network the packet size is always 1 and is the same for all streams. Since the packets are then so short the time available to decide which packet to transmit next is also very short and therefore a long sorting time is not acceptable. To avoid this sorting time and to reduce the per packet processing complexity the algorithm can be simplified further to reduce the processing overheads for a more practical implementation by taking into account the fact that all packets in an ATM network are of a given fixed size (ie all values for L are equal).
Thus for an ATM network the algorithm may be simplified as follows:
1. Initialize: At the beginning of operation, set all the counters to zero:
Kl =0, l=1, . . . , J
2. Loop 1: Let ={j1, . . . , jk } and ||=k such that Queues j1, . . . , jk are currently backlogged and Sj1 ≧Sj2 ≧ . . . ≧Sjk
3. Update the counters as follows: ##EQU5## 4. Let κ={lε:Kl ≧1}5. Loop 2 (while κ is non-empty)
Serve one cell from queue lκ κ and update its counter by ##EQU6##
End Loop 2
6. End Loop 1 (Goto 2).
In this embodiment the system first transmits one fixed size packet from a reference stream which has the largest reserve bandwidth share and all the other active streams earn credits according to the ratio between their reserved bandwidth share and the largest reserved bandwidth share (thus the amount of credit earned is always less than 1). Before coming back to transmit another packet from the reference stream all streams that have a counter size equal to or greater than 1 are eligible for transmission (since the packets are of size 1). In such a situation if there is one stream with a counter greater than 1 then the HOL packet from that stream is transmitted. If there is more than one stream with a counter greater than 1 then the next stream to be transmitted is chosen randomly to avoid sorting. This avoidance of sorting is achieved at the expense of a little fairness (ie the streams transmit an amount of traffic nearly proportional to their bandwidth share).
After a packet has been transmitted from a stream its counter is not reset to zero in this embodiment but rather is reduced by an increment of 1 (ie by the fixed packet size).
The above described systems are suitable for work-conserving applications. However, the scheduling system of the present invention is suitable for use in both work-conserving and non-work-conserving applications. In a work-conserving discipline the idle bandwidth from the empty queues can be used to improve the system performance in a single node. However this is at the price of the traffic pattern being distorted in the network due to network load fluctuations and down-stream nodes may be unable to deal with bursty traffic. Furthermore in order to derive end-to-end delay bounds and buffer space requirements in a network environment the traffic needs to be characterized inside the network on a per connection basis, but if the traffic flow is distorted there are a number of difficulties in deriving the traffic characteristics and therefore guaranteed performance services may be better obtained using a non-work-conserving discipline even at the cost of wasted bandwidth.
Several non-work-conserving algorithms have been proposed in the prior art but they all require a very different architecture from their work-conserving counterparts. As a practical matter it can be very difficult to implement two different architectures in a single switch and one of the advantages of the present invention is that it provides a uniform architecture supporting both work-conserving and non-work-conserving disciplines.
In non-work-conserving disciplines each user will be served at the rate of its reserved bandwidth and even when there is only one backlogged queue in the system, it cannot use the idle bandwidth of the other queues. Therefore the credit Kj for backlogged queue j will increase only according to the time interval Δt=1/Ctotal and the packet can only be served when the credit value is at least equal to the packet size.
The following is an algorithm for a non-work-conserving ATM application (ie with fixed packet size): In this algorithm a time slot is defined as the time interval needed for transmitting one cell by using the link capacity C. Here Si, i=1, . . . , J, denotes the fraction of the link capacity reserved for stream i.
1. Initialize: At the beginning of operation, set all the counters to zero:
Kl =0, l=1, . . . , J.
2. Loop: Let ={j1, . . . , jk } and ||=k such that Queues j1, . . . , jk are backlogged;
3. Kjn ←Kjn +Sjn, ∀jn ε
4. Let κ={lε:Kl ≧1}
5. If κ is empty then waste one time slot and goto 2.
6. Let {j1, j2, . . . , jM } be the permutation of the elements of κ, such that
Kj 1 ≧Kj2 ≧ . . . ≧KjM ≧1
7. Serve one cell from queue j1 and ##EQU7##
8. End Loop (Goto 2)
In this embodiment a time slot is defined by the time required to transmit one packet. For every time slot that an active stream is waiting to transmit its counter is increased by its reserved bandwidth share expressed in terms of a fraction of the total link capacity. Whenever the counter value reaches 1 (again because this is an ATM system in which the packet size is fixed at 1) the corresponding stream becomes eligible for transmission. Amongst all the eligible streams the stream with the largest counter value is transmitted and the counter for that stream is reduced by 1 while the counters of the other active streams all increase by their bandwidth share. To assess the performance of the system of the present invention a computer simulation was performed using the simulation techniques described in Simulation Modeling and Analysis, Averill M. Law & W. David Kelton, 2nd Edition, McGraw-Hill, Inc. which is incorporated herein by reference.
In the simulation an ATM switch node fed by three independent on/off traffic streams with the same traffic parameters is considered. The three streams share the same output link with capacity C=100 cells/sec. The buffer size of the switch is infinite.
Using this switch node model three different scheduling algorithms are used to serve the traffic and their performance is compared for different network loads. The three algorithms are a conventional self-clocked fair queueing network (SCFQ), a credit based fair queueing system according to the present invention (CBFQ), and a simplified version of the system of the present invention adapted for fixed packet size (CBFQ-F). The peak rate of each stream is 100 cells/sec and the mean silent period is 0.3 seconds. By changing the mean burst size of the streams a network load defined as 3*mean-rate/C can be obtained. The following table shows the network load for different mean burst sizes used in the simulation.
______________________________________ Mean Burst Size Network loadCase (cells) (3*mean-rate/C)______________________________________1 6 0.502 8 0.633 9 0.694 10 0.755 11 0.816 12 0.867 13 0.918 14 0.969 15 0.99______________________________________
FIG. 4 shows the processing time per cell as a function of network load. From this it can be seen that the processing time for a conventional SCFQ system increases almost exponentially with increasing load. For the CBFQ system however, the computational complexity of the system is O(log(J)) where J is the total number of streams. Since the number of streams is constant and independent of the network load there is no significant variation in the processing time as the load increases.
The simplification of the present invention in the algorithm of the CBFQ-F system is such that the computational complexity is O(log(1)) and thus the processing time for the CBFQ-F system is even smaller and as with CBFQ is substantially constant and does not vary with network load.
This simulation clearly shows the advantage of the present invention over the prior art. Furthermore, the simulation uses only three input streams and in practice the benefits provided by the present invention are likely to be even greater where the number of streams is larger (as in practice is likely).
For the sake of completeness a non-work conserving IP algorithm is set out below. In this embodiment a time slot is defined as the time interval needed for transmitting the smallest packet by using the link capacity C. Here Si, i=1, . . . , J, denotes the capacity reserved for stream i.
1. Initialize: At the beginning of operation, set all the counters to zero:
Kl =0, l=1, . . . , J; and let Δt=1 slot time.
2. Loop: Let ={j1, . . . , jk } and ||=k such that Queues j1, . . . , jk are backlogged;
3. Kjn ←Kjn +Sjn �Δt, ∀jn ε
4. Let κ={lε:Kl ≧Ll }
5. If κ is empty then waste one time slot, let Δt=1 slot time, and goto 2.
6. Let {j1, j2, . . . , jM } be the permutation of the elements of κ, such that ##EQU8##
7. Serve one cell from queue j1 and ##EQU9## and ##EQU10##

Location: Genetics, Breeding, and Animal Health Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
This research and development project will develop analytical software for Bayesian analysis of genomic information and deliver it within an integrated bioinformatics infrastructure that will enable genomic evaluation using high-throughput SNP genotyping technology in livestock. We will implement these methodologies across a range of economic traits in beef cattle, first using existing genomic and phenotypic records from the U.S. Meat Animal Resarch Center and ultimately enabling researchers to submit data sets for analysis via a web interface. Collectively, we will deliver immediate and on-going opportunities in beef cattle for livestock managers, public researchers and industry geneticists to exploit genomic evaluation.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
We will enhance existing methods for predicting missing genotypes to applications involving haplotypes and web-enable this software. We will extend theory-based single-trait Bayesian methods for additive effects to practical circumstances that can estimate allelic or haplotypic effects in the context of multiple traits, maternally influenced traits, and categorically expressed traits, to capitalize on both additive and non-additive effects. All these analytical tools will be made available via web interface. Our activities will be motivated and focused on genomic evaluation of beef cattle. Implementation of this research will fully support goals of the 2005-2010 USDA Strategic Plan, by enhancing international competitiveness of the U.S beef cattle and other economically-relevant agricultural industries through practical access to the latest advances in molecular genetic technology.
3. Progress Report:
Statistical Bayesian analyses of U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) crossbred genotypes and phenotypes with GenSel software were used to complement genomic best linear unbiased prediction based analytical approaches. Genomic predictions utilizing direct and imputed high density (770,000 markers) genotyping panels trained by USMARC data were provided to cooperators in the Weight Trait Project. Development of a platform-independent version of GenoProb software, which uses complex pedigrees with incomplete marker data to compute probabilities of complete marker genotypes, was abandoned due to a lack of suitable open-source replacements for all of the proprietary software dependencies in GenoProb. While some functions were replaced by open-source equivalents, we determined that eliminating all proprietary dependencies would require substantial re-writing of the existing GenoProb code. Alternatives providing similar functionality to GenoProb, which may be more suitable for incorporation into the project's GenSel system, are being explored.

After gun fails, an instant posse helps police nab suspect
A restaurant manager and her customers chase the man who fled with a Taco Bell bag of cash.
By VERONICA GORLEY CHUFO | 247-4741
June 24, 2008
Former Taco Bell employee Deon Gatling, 19, of Sunbury, N.C., was charged with one count each of armed robbery and attempted malicious wounding and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. He was being held Monday at the Western Tidewater Regional Jail in Suffolk, said Suffolk Police Lt. Debbie George said.
Police said Gatling had a gun and demanded money from a Taco Bell manager on Sunday. She handed it over, but Gatling pulled the trigger.
The gun didn't fire, police said, but it provoked the manager to chase the robber in her vehicle while calling police on her cell phone.
Up to a dozen business owners, store employees and others followed, chasing Gatling into the woods behind the Farm Fresh plaza, where the restaurant is located, on North Main Street, just north of downtown Suffolk.
Police found him 45 minutes later when someone spotted him trying to escape the woods. A Taco Bell bag with him was full of money, police said, and a loaded gun was found in the restaurant's parking lot.
Capt. Stephanie Burch, who heads the criminal investigations section, said she was pleased with residents' willingness to get involved police probably wouldn't have nabbed the suspect without their help.
But she recommends caution.
"This situation could have been very dangerous," Burch said. "This particular suspect was reported to have a firearm, and we would never want to have our citizens injured trying to assist us. Our citizens can always be helpful by being great witnesses, without putting themselves in harm's way."
How much more dangerous could it have been?
Enquiring minds want to know...
"Each worker carried his sword strapped to his side." Nehemiah 4:18
Guns Save Lives. Paramedics Save Lives. But...
Paramedics With Guns Scare People!
If I had been there, I'd like to believe had I had a clear shot while the suspect was facing away from me I'd not have hesitated to shoot him in the back in the defense of others.

So does that mean he will also get attempted murder even though the gun failed to fire?
Elyria, Ohio, very recently, a similar case ... but instead of CLICK it went BANG and a young woman is dead.
She cooperated, she gave him the cash, she did not resist, and she was murdered anyway.

I don't care where it is or whats going on you pull a gun to commit a crime and I'm thinking you plan to use it they will probably never hear the shot that kills them,just because it's a head shot doesn't mean i was trying to kill him it just means i didn't want him to be able to pull the trigger

These criminals need to have a "posse" go after them. That way we will save our tax money which feeds these criminals in jail. An armed posse is no joke.

Can somebody explain to me why "malicious wounding" is even a charge? Deliberately pulling the trigger of a gun pointed at another human being is attempted murder any way I look at it.

If the Mgr would have had a gun.... they wouldn't have had to chase him, and there may have never been a "click" first. So, the robber needs to thank someone for protecting him from a funeral.

I guess you should just lie there and let someone beat the crap out of you until they get tired. The UK - now going to outlaw closed fists!
