Maeve is walking through a village when she hears a woman screaming for help. She runs towards the sound to see a petite woman being surrounded by pirates. Maeve is a strong feminist and believer in good, so she conjured a fireball and hurled it towards the group. It took out a couple of the men whilst the others looked towards her.
"Come and pick on someone your own size" she yelled.
Then she ran towards the group with her sword out and started fighting. The other woman needed no encouragement and soon they had frightened off all of the pirates.
"Thanks" smiled the woman. "I owe you one."
"Pleasure" smiled Maeve. "Oh, by the way, I'm Maeve."
"Bryn" said the petite girl. "The name rings a bell. You don't happen to have a brother named Dermott do you?"
"Do I know you?" Asked a surprised Maeve.
"I shouldn't think so. You left just before Sinbad found me."
"You know Sinbad?"
"Oh, yes. I sail with him. That's how I know Dermott. They told me a lot about you."
"All good I hope. Can you take me to them?"
"Of course. They'll be overjoyed to see you."
So the two set off across the flat path that connected the two villages. It was quite flat so the two ambled along at a comfortable pace whilst admiring the surroundings. After a short silence Maeve worked up enough courage to ask the question she'd been longing to ask since the beginning.
"So, who's here?" Asked an excited Maeve.
"Oh, Doubar, Dermott, Firouz, Rongar and of course Sinbad."
"Fantastic. Where bouts are they?"
"They went to the next village; I said I'd meet them there."
"Great. So what have you been doing since I've been gone?"
So Bryn told her of all their adventures. It didn't take her too long as she didn't talk in great detail. Maeve listened and wondered if they would be pleased to see her.
"They've missed you a lot." Said Bryn. "They all thought highly of you."
"How so?" Asked a curious Maeve.
"They always talk so highly of you. Well, Dermott, Doubar and Firouz do. Sinbad doesn't like to mention you much."
"Oh," said a rather confused and upset Maeve. Bryn saw the hurt in her eyes and quickly added, "Oh, it's not that he forgot you. He found it the hardest when you left. He wouldn't eat for a while. It was like he was mourning. It hurt him really badly. They all say he's changed."
"How so?"
"He dresses differently, and acts differently. He no longer looks for the goodness in people, he just kills them."
"Really, I can't have caused that."
"It's true. You must understand that this is from what Doubar has told me, for I have never met your Sinbad."
"Aye, then what you say is true."
"He told me of Lea, and how he lost his first love to the sea. And when he lost his real love to the sea, he grieved painfully."
"And then he lost me too."
"No, you misunderstood me. I meant you."
"I think you are mistaken, I'm not Sinbad's love."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. Doubar said you two were ignorant to it."
"Yeah, well. Don't believe everything you hear from that poisonous mouth!"
"I'm sorry to have upset you. I didn't mean you any harm."
"It's ok. I just miss them, tormenting and all."
"They often told me what a handsome couple you make."
"Do you think we can stop now? Lets just say that those four loved winding us up about it."
"But it wasn't just them. Everywhere we went that you had been to with them previously asked about you. They said it was a great shame for you two were well suited."
"Well it's not going to happen. He has a duty to master the sea, and I have to free my brother. Don't you see? It can't happen because we've both got tasks to fulfill. We've put our lives on hold until we've completed them."
"That is a great loss indeed. But will you admit that you like Sinbad, even just a little bit?"
"I'm sorry. I'm not too good at opening up."
"Oh yes. So they said. But there was this one night I wish to tell you about. Sinbad had wandered up to the bow during tea; I followed him up there and sat beside him. I asked if he was thinking of you. He said he was. I asked to know a bit more about you. He seemed pleased to finally get it off of his chest. He told me of your past adventures. Of your beauty, your liveliness, your stubbornness and your talent. He said he'd never known anyone like you before."
"Are you sure?"
"Oh yes. And then he said it."
"Said what?"
"He said that it was killing him. To him you might as well have been dead, cause he couldn't bear thinking that you were alive somewhere in the world, and he wasn't there with you."
They were quiet for a while. Maeve was deep in contemplation. They arrived at a small village when they heard an almighty squawk and a ball of feathers hurled its way towards Maeve. "Dermott" She cried before stroking his feathers and telling him how much she'd missed him.
Aye sister, I've missed you too, but not as much as our dear captain.
Not you as well.
But it's true Maeve. Don't tell me he wasn't the one you missed most
Of course he wasn't. I missed you most.
That's a lie Maeve and we both know it. Stop pretending.
Fine. I missed him like crazy, ok? I cried myself to sleep every night knowing that I wouldn't see him in ages. Is that what you wanted?
At least you admitted it.
Suddenly a big booming voice sounded.
"MAEVE!" It yelled. Maeve spun around.
"Doubar?" She called. The giant ran up towards her and swung her round.
"Oh lass, you don't know how glad we are to see you again."
"Aye tubby, it's great to see you again too." He put her down before she turned to face Rongar. They embraced as well.
"Rongar. I've missed you." She then turned to see Firouz. She hugged him.
"It's been too long." He sighed.
"Aye, it has." She replied before turning to look at them all. "But there's someone missing." She smiled.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten who" Smiled Doubar.
"Of course not. Where is...oh a.... what's his name again?"
"You're not fooling anyone Maeve." laughed Firouz. "We know you've missed him as much as he's missed you"
"Hmmm." She said. "But where is Sinbad?"
"He should be here in a minute." said Doubar.
Just then Maeve heard someone whisper her name. She turned around to see what looked like Sinbad, standing 10 meters away. "Sinbad?" She whispered back. They started walking towards each other, before they picked up the pace and before long they were running full speed into each others arms and at last they were in a tight embrace. They were so overjoyed to see each other that they were soon kissing. The crew stood smiling as they watched the scene, remembering a similar scene after Sinbad had killed the Vorgan.
The Kiss seemed to last an eternity before they pulled themselves together and blushed as they turned to a laughing crew. Well this seems like deja vu thought Maeve.
Ah, but the kiss was definitely more intense this time! answered Dermott.
Shut it. Warned Maeve.
Doubar, Firouz and Rongar just stood there laughing at the redness that had covered both of their faces.
"Some thing's never change!" Laughed Doubar.
"Yes" Agreed Firouz. "It's good to have them back together isn't it!"
Maeve and Sinbad just ignored them, and Bryn just smiled knowingly at them.
"You are staying, aren't you Maeve?" Asked Sinbad anxiously.
"I'm sorry Sinbad" She said. He looked heart broken before she carried on. "Seems that I have no choice, Dim Dim will have it no other way!"
Sinbad hugged her again before they made their way back over to the group.
Doubar winked at Firouz before asking mischievously:
"Had any of those better kisses recently Sinbad?" he laughed. Sinbad and Maeve just blushed as the crew continued laughing.
They were all talking and catching up when they heard a man shout out to them.
A handsome man ran forward and pulled her into a hug.
"Do I know you?" Bryn looked at him. He looked shocked. She had a faint memory, but it was gone in a flash.
"What do you mean? Don't you remember me? I'm your husband."
"I'm married?" Bryn looked as shocked as he did.
"You don't remember me, do you?"
"I'm sorry. I've lost my memory. All I remember is waking up on a strange island with only my name to remind me of who I am."
"Oh Bryn, I've missed you so much. I was heartbroken when you got taken away from us like that."
The man was about to answer when a small girl ran up to Bryn.
"Mummy!" She yelled as she ran to give Bryn a hug.
Bryn looked down at the girl and then back at the man. He smiled and nodded. Bryn was still in shock. The little girl looked up at the women standing there.
"Mummy?" She asked. "Don't you remember me?"
The little girl had tears welling up in her eyes. Bryn bent down so they were eye level. She gently wiped the tears away before whispering softly:
The little girl wrapped her arms tightly around her mother's neck and hugged her tightly. Scared to let go.
"You remember me." She laughed softly. "You remember me. I missed you mummy."
"I missed you to my little Bumble Bee!"
Bryn lifted Brea up and went over to the man who had a tear running down his cheek.
"I'm so sorry Brian" She whispered. She hugged him before breaking apart. "Lets go home" She said smiling.
So the crew accompanied Bryn and her husband back to their house to say their goodbyes.
It was a long walk full of stories and laughter. They walked up a cliff to the very top overlooking the sea. There was a small cottage standing there, surrounded by flowers, very picturesque. They walked them to the front gate of the cottage before saying their goodbyes.
"Are you sure you won't come in?" Asked Bryn.
"No, we must be getting back to the Nomad" said Sinbad. "If were going to catch the tide and leave here before dark."
"You are right." Smiles Bryn. "But you must visit me often, and tell me of your adventures."
"I'm sure we can manage that" laughed Doubar.
"And Maeve" continued Bryn. "Please look after them for me."
"Of course." Smiled Maeve.
Then, one by one, Bryn said goodbye to the crew and her friends. They departed on good terms and she watched the crew walking down the cliff towards the Nomad.
This is as it should be. Back the way it was. Everything has its reason. They were right, they do make a gorgeous couple! Bryn thought to herself before sending one final message to Dermott. Take care of them Dermott.
I will Bryn, I promise. And I will do everything in my power to get them together.
Thank you my friend. For the safety of the world depends on it!
Take care of yourself Bryn. And Bryn went inside to her family.
Later that evening the crew were sitting around a feast fit for a King. They were celebrating Maeve's return and were waiting for Sinbad to give the go ahead.
"Wow guys, you did all this, for me?" said Maeve warmly.
"Of course." Said Doubar. "We really missed you Lass"
"And we're so glad your back" added Firouz.
"Ah." smiled Maeve. "I should go away more often."
"I hope that was a joke" Sinbad said a little too quickly.
"Aye lass." smiled Doubar. "I don't think Sinbad could go through that again!"
"And I doubt you could either!" laughed Firouz.
"You're lucky I'm in a good mood." warned Maeve. "Or you would not have survived that! Unfortunately some thing's never change. I was hoping you'd have stopped that by now!"
"Are you mad?" asked Sinbad. "They're way too immature for that. They were alright while you were away!"
"yeah, but you weren't" smiled Firouz.
"And we intend on having as much fun at your expense as possible." laughed Doubar. "You've only yourselves to blame!"
"Yeah, until you two stop being so stubborn and proud, we'll continue as long as it takes!" laughed Firouz.
"Until what?" asked Sinbad.
"Until you two admit your feelings and sort this out of course!" laughed Doubar.
"Then you'll be waiting a long time!" replied Maeve.
"So you admit you like him then?" smiled Firouz.
"I never said that." quickly replied Maeve. "All I said was...ARGH. You three are so annoying. Sinbad, I'm starving, can we eat yet?"
"Ok, but first I'd like to make a toast."
"Oh great, now you've done it Maeve!" sighed Doubar.
"I hope this is short" said Maeve smiling sweetly. "I'm kind of hungry."
"It would be if you let me get on with it!" snapped Sinbad jokingly.
"Sorry" mumbled Maeve and Doubar.
"As I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted" he said glaring at Doubar. "I know many of us will miss Bryn, but she is finally happy. She is back where she belongs. As is Maeve, which is why we are celebrating tonight. So, a toast, to happiness for all those who deserve it, and welcome home Maeve!"
"Welcome home Maeve" was cheered throughout the crew.
"Can we eat yet Sinbad?" Grumbled Doubar.
"It's good to know some things never change!" laughed Maeve, and soon everyone was laughing with her, including Doubar.
"We've sure missed your remarks Maeve!" laughed Doubar. "It's been no fun without you!"
"Thanks Doubar, but your right. Sinbad, if you plan to make us just sit here all night and only inhale the food, then please tell me now so that I can go!"
"Thank Allah, Maeve's back. Now Sinbad will be put back in his place!" Doubar started laughing again at Firouz's comment. He knew he was right. It was good to see things back to normal.
"Alright, thank you Firouz. When you're all quite done with the snide comments....Maeve!"
"What, me? I don't know what you're talking about!" She said with a look of pure innocence on her face which made everyone laugh.
"Of course you don't!" Sinbad grinned back.
"Get on with it Sinbad!" yelled Doubar, Firouz and Maeve at the same time.
"Fine, let the feast commence!"
A huge 'hurray' was heard as the crew started to dig in and Doubar was heard yelling 'at last' before he disappeared behind a pile of food.
The evening was full of laughter and fun. There were loads of bottles of wine going round and everybody was making the most of them. Stories were told of past adventures and more recent ones. When the feeding frenzy had slowed down they began a conversation again instead of having just one person telling the story. Doubar started it with a question for Maeve.
"So Maeve, Dim Dim said you'd gone to learn more magic."
"That's right." She allowed.
"Does that mean you're a full sorceress now instead of just an apprentice?" asked a confused Firouz.
"Yes, my training is complete so I am classed as a sorceress." She answered.
"So, can we have a demonstration of your new abilities?" asked Doubar.
"Ok. But first, do you need some more wine Doubar?"
"I'm never against more wine!" laughed Doubar along with the rest.
So Maeve clicked her fingers causing the wine bottle to hover. She then clicked them a second time to make it float over to Doubar's glass. And finally a third time to make the wine bottle pour wine into his glass before landing back onto the table. Doubar sat shocked for a moment before saying:
"Wow, I'll never have to get up to fill my glass again!" This made the crew laugh hard. Maeve just shook her head whilst smiling.
"I thought you might like that. But now, for my main piece, I shall need a volunteer." She said, smiling daringly at Sinbad.
"Oh no." he smiled. "no way."
"What's the matter Sinbad?" smiled Firouz. "Chicken?"
Dermott squawked indignantly.
"Chill Dermott!" laughed Doubar. "It's just an expression!"
"Well" started Maeve. "For my spell, I need someone whose appearance has changed dramatically since I was last here." Everyone's heads turned towards Sinbad.
"And you always used to love it when it when I did magic!"
"Fine!" he said. "I'll do it."
"Great." smiled Maeve. "just sit still and stay quiet, if you can manage that!"
"What, the sitting still or keeping quiet?" laughed Doubar.
Sinbad, however, didn't rise to it and just sat there quietly. Maeve closed her eyes and held her arms out in front of her towards Sinbad. She began to quietly chant a spell whilst picturing Sinbad's old attire in her mind. She chanted louder and louder until there was a bright flash and Sinbad was sitting there in his old clothes. Everyone sat still looking shocked, Maeve just smiled.
"That's better" she commented. "Now that's the Sinbad I know."
And love added Dermott.
"Shut it featherbrain!" Maeve shouted at him.
"Something you want to share Maeve?" asked Doubar.
"You're alright" blushed Maeve.
"That was amazing!" butted in Firouz. "How did you do that?"
"Just a little something I learnt" laughed Maeve.
"Well, next time I need to change, I'll just have to find you!" laughed Sinbad. Maeve just smiled mischievously at him.
"Your forgetting sailor" smiled Maeve. "If you annoy me then I have the power to dress you in whatever I want. And I'm sure the crew would love that." Sinbad blushed bright red at the thought while the others just laughed.
"Thanks Maeve." blushed Sinbad. "I'll try to remember that."
"I'm sure Maeve can't wait for an excuse to carry out the threat!" smiled Firouz. Now it was Maeve's turn to blush as she dismissed it.
When the feast was finished everyone made their way to bed. Sinbad, however, made his way up deck and towards the bow to where Maeve was standing, gazing out over the moonlit waters. He walked up beside her and stood watching the moonlight and stars twinkle in the evening sky. She sensed him there and leant back into him resting her head on his shoulder.
"I've missed this" sighed Maeve.
"I bet." smiled Sinbad. "There is nothing as beautiful as the view from the bow in the evening."
"Aye. It's beautiful."
"But it's even nicer to have somebody to share it with."
"I know what you mean." smiled Maeve looking at him.
"I've missed you Maeve."
"Aye, I've missed you too sailor. All your commands and arguments."
"And I've missed your stubbornness and fireballs." She elbowed him lightly before he continued. "There were so many times when we got into a fight and I'd think, if only Maeve were here. We'd soon be out of this mess. To begin with I used to go to turn to you to ask you to fling a fireball or two, but you were never there."
"I'm beginning to think that's the only thing you missed about me!"
"Well, it was a big part of it!" She playfully slapped him in the side.
"There wasn't much I missed about you!" she said cheekily. "Apart from your big headedness, always thinking you were right, and trying to leave me behind!"
"Yeah, never succeeded though did I?!" They laughed for a bit before Maeve let out a yawn.
"Tired?" asked Sinbad.
"Just a little" smiled Maeve.
"Go to bed. Have a good nights sleep and I'll see you in the morning."
"Ok. I could do with a good nights sleep, I haven't had one of those in ages."
"I know what you mean." smiled Sinbad. "You'll find your cabin just as you left it."
"You mean you didn't touch it? What about Bryn?"
"I couldn't. It's your cabin Maeve. I hoped that by keeping it like that would give you a reason to come back. I know it sounds silly but..."
"I understand." She yawned again. "Anyway. Good night Sinbad."
"Good night Maeve. Sweet dreams."
And he turned to watch her walk down below to her waiting cabin. He smiled at the comforting thought that she was back with him, and she wasn't going anywhere. He knew that tonight he'd get the best sleep he'd had since she'd left. Maeve also arrived at her cabin, flung herself onto her bed and knew she was home. She was going to sleep well tonight, and in the morning. Sinbad would be there when she woke up.

Cantaloupe-Chicken Skewers
Top Review by Roosie
Oooh! This is SOO good!!! I bought a cantelope on sale at the store, but being as our household is just my boyfriend and myself, we couldn't eat it all before it went bad. So before it went bad- I made these! I used grape tomatoes rather than cherry because there were none at the grocery and didn't marinade the chicken as long as it says, simply due to time constraints. But YUM. My boyfriend said he was surprised how well the flavors go together- one does not usually think to combine things like chicken and onions with melon. Tropical tasting, but definitely savory still. Delicious!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 medium fresh cantaloupe, rind and seeds removed
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 green bell peppers, sliced into chunks
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion, sliced into chunks
- 4 slices bacon, cut into fourths
- salt and pepper
- 2 fresh limes
Directions See How It's Made
- Cut cantaloupe into half-moon shapes as follows: Start with 1/2-inch slices of cantaloupe.
- Using round cookie cutter, cut circle.
- Dissect circle with same round cookie cutter to create half moon, set aside.
- Slice chicken thinly into 2-inch strips.
- Marinate 2 to 3 hours in mixture of 1/4 cup fresh lime juice and 1/4 olive oil.
- Slide all ingredients onto long skewers, placing bacon next to chicken.
- Pierce marinated chicken strips at both ends and middle to form S-shape.
- Arrange cantaloupe, tomatoes, peppers and onion chunks on skewers.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook 5 minutes in broiler or 6 on grill.

Toby Jones's timid sound technician, Gilderoy, has been recruited to work on a ripe Italian horror, The Equestrian Vortex.
At first, he's anxious that his travel expenses won't be reimbursed but far more damaging horrors lie in wait for this fastidious Brit. The first third of Strickland's consistently unnerving thriller contains some beautifully observed visual gags about low-budget slashers, but in the final third the cramped studio space really starts to unsettle poor Gilderoy and us. Blow Out and The Conversation are obvious comparisons, but this absorbing work is far odder than both.

Mid-Session Silver Market Report
The July silver market actually carved out an outside day down breakout this morning after the market showed the capacity to claw its way back above the prior session's close. Like gold, silver seemed to be at least partially disappointed in the net shake from the Fed testimony and it also seemed as if scheduled US economy data was given very little credence today. Some traders suggest that a minor decline in US claims might have undermined the prospect of near term easing, while others think technical reversal action simply served to push some fresh buyers back to the sidelines. The question going forward is how quickly will US Fed easing hopes be revived.

Chellaston Neighbourhood Planning Consultation
15 June 2016
Derby City Council has received an application from the Chellaston Neighbourhood Planning Forum to establish themselves as the group which will undertake neighbourhood planning for the Chellaston Village Neighbourhood Area.
Under the Localism Act, local communities can come together to write a Neighbourhood Plan for a specific area. This plan will, if successful, form part of the Council's statutory plan for the area and be a material consideration in any planning application. This is the second stage in the process and, this time, we are required to make people who live, work or who have a business aware that the consultation is underway and give them an opportunity to comment on the proposed group.
The consultation will last for eight weeks beginning on Monday 6 June 2016 and ending on Monday 1 August 2016.
For more information about the application and a plan of the area click here.
For more information about the consultation visit the DCC website. To find out more about Neighbourhood Planning click here.

Attendance: Eric Davis, Tad Clodfelter, Franklin Ingram, Bart Grimes, Glenn Buck, Dan Fox, Tim Hall, Regina Dickens, Angie Banther, Jack Register, Mary Powell, David Turpin, Anne Doolen, Cece Westmoreland, Trina Fullard, Lloyd Parsons, Franklin Ingram, Wes Stewart
Guests: Dan Fox, Division of VR; Flo Stein, Division of MH/DD/SA
Minutes: Ms. Powell presented the May Minutes.
Division of Vocational Rehabilitation: Mr. Fox reported that the State Plan for VR will be soon available on the web for review and comment.
The Coalition: Mr. Hall reported on that there has been significant progress on the Equitable Coverage Bill but substance abuse will probably not be included for coverage. He noted that there was significant discussion at the Coalition regarding the Senate Budget. There seems to be little new funding and numerous recommendations being proposed as solution to mounting concerns about the impact of reform on communities.
Following some discussion the Chair appointed CeCe, Trish, Anne and Franklin to establish committee write position paper on substance abuse parity.
Division of MH/DD/SAS: Ms. Stein was asked several questions regarding Veteran's Issues and she stated that they should be able to obtain services through the VA but that signing them up for those benefits was critical. Members indicated they were beginning to see vets in their programs. She also noted that providers should be signing up for a free training being offered by DMA that will talk about Medicaid rules, the Services Definitions, Person Centered Plans and UR processes.

The present invention relates to the field of fault identification in an electronic system and more particularly, to identify the occurrence of a fault in a complex electronic system based on alarm processing. Still more particularly, the invention relates to systems and methods for efficient alarm analysis and fault identification based on context based analysis.
Fault isolation in electronic devices such as network elements and communication switches is a challenging task due to enormity of alarm data, ambiguous alarm information (false or missing alarms, redundant alarms, out of sequence alarms etc.) and insufficient alarm-based information for some faults. Hence, there is a need for a mechanism for fast and efficient processing of a large number of alarms.
Existing solutions for fault isolation are mainly of the following categories based on the approach employed for fault diagnosis and isolation:
Rule based systems are based on expert knowledge to identify set of rules to correlate alarms to faults. In case of large network systems, these rules can be very complex and large in number resulting in difficulties in the management of these rules and leading to inaccurate inference of faults. These systems are sensitive to missing and false alarms and out of sequence alarms.
In model based systems, fault isolation is based on the models of the systems. The alarms are processed with the help of these models to isolate the faults. However, it is difficult to model complex systems to achieve accurate fault isolation.
Case based reasoning is based on the history of solved problems. A strategy to solve the problem is based on the case history. These systems require exhaustive case database consisting of solution strategy for each case. Huge case database result in high search time and hence affecting the time required for fault isolation.
Fault isolation based on Bayesian network is used in conjunction with other fault isolation mechanisms. Probability networks may be advantageous if they can produce hypotheses with a precise confidence level.
Diagnosing an electronic system is a challenging task despite the availability of enormous alarm information. The ambiguity and redundancy associated with alarm information presents a challenge for fast and accurate fault identification.
For majority of the existing systems, the focus has been on performance and throughput aspects, rather than fault diagnosis. Focusing the design towards efficient fault diagnosis enhances precision and speed of diagnosis.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,356,885 to Ross; Niall, White, Anthony Richard for "Network Model For Alarm Correlation" (issued Mar. 12, 2002 and assigned to Nortel Networks Limited (St. Laurent, Calif.)) describes a method of processing alarms in a network adapting virtual model wherein each network entity offers and receives services to and from other entities and having associated knowledge based reasoning capacity, such as rules, for adapting the model. Cause of an alarm is determined using the virtual model.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,076,083 to Baker; Michelle for "Diagnostic system utilizing a Bayesian network model having link weights updated experimentally" (issued Jun. 13, 2000) describes a system utilizing a Bayesian network model with an algorithm quantifying the strength of the links and a method to automatically update probability matrices of the network on the basis of collected experiential knowledge. Probability networks are ineffective if they cannot produce hypotheses with a precise confidence level.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,812,819 to Corsberg; Daniel R for "Functional relationship-based alarm processing system" (issued Mar. 14, 1989 and assigned The United States of America as represented by the United States (Washington, D.C.)) describes a system and method that analyzes each alarm as it is activated and determines its relative importance with other currently activated alarms in accordance with the functional relationships that the newly activated alarm has with other currently activated alarms. Four hierarchical relationships are defined by this alarm filtering methodology: (1) there are two alarm settings on the same parameter; (2) causal factors between two alarms; (3) system response within a specified time following activation of an alarm; and (4) unimportant alarms that are normally expected. This invention addresses alarm processing in terms of reducing the complexity and enormity of the alarm information; however it does not address the issues such as ambiguity and insufficiency of alarm related information.

The system includes an Intelligent Management Information Base with a functional model of the managed network and a trouble report/known faults case base. Fault management is both proactive and reactive.
U.S. Pat. Application 20040168100 by Thottan, Marina K.; (Troy, N.Y.); Ji, Chuanyi; (Troy, N.Y.) titled "Fault detection and prediction for management of computer networks" (filed on Jan. 14, 2004) describes a system and method for network fault and anomaly detection and is based on the statistical behavior of the management information base variables. The detection scheme relies on traffic measurement and is independent of specific fault descriptions.
Use of blackboard architecture in case based diagnostics and diagnosing nuclear power plants was proposed in some of the prior art (Rissland, E., Daniels, J., Rubinstein, B., and Skalak, D., "Case-Based Diagnostic Analysis in a Blackboard Architecture", in the Proceedings of the Eleventh National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, pp 66-72, Washington, 1993.)
The detection of faults, based on monitoring of behavior of the variables, involves generation of variable level alarms based on the magnitude of the detected changes as compared to the normal situation was discussed in the literature (Marina Thottan and Chuanyi Ji, "Adaptive thresholding for proactive network problem detection," Proceedings IEEE Internation Workshop on Systems Management, pp. 108-116, Newport, R.I., April 1998).
Another prior art refers to the model-based monitoring and diagnosis system based on Qualitative Reasoning where hierarchical models are used to monitor and diagnose dynamic systems (Franz Lackinger and Wolfgang Nejdl, "Diamon: a model-based troubleshooter based on qualitative reasoning" in IEEE Expert 8(1): 33-40, February 1993).
The known systems do not address the issue of exploiting a multidimensional context associated with a plurality of alarms in identifying and localizing faults in an electronic system. The present inventions describes six carefully selected context dimensions, namely, usecase, transaction, function, soft-variable, hard-variable, and execution, describes methods for generating the context associated with an alarm, and using the generated contextual information with a sequence of alarms to identify and localize faults.
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for efficiently identifying the faults occurring in an electronic system based on the analysis of observed alarm information. More specifically, the present invention provides methods for reducing the ambiguity and complexity arising due to the enormity of the alarms generated by the system.
One aspect of the invention is to provide for the definition of additional contextual information associated with the alarms by observing the electronic system along the four dimensions namely, Transaction-space, Function-space, Execution-space and Signal-space. Each of these spaces provide additional contextual information for the alarms generated and thus enhancing the semantic content of the alarms.
Another aspect of the invention is to provide for identification and analysis of alarm-independent system variables (monitor variables), which provide additional contextual information on the functional, performance, and environmental aspects of the electronic system. Analysis of data obtained from the monitor variables is used to resolve the ambiguity resulting out of missing and false alarms.
Yet another aspect of the invention is an apparatus for collecting and processing of contextual information along with alarm information to identify a fault. This apparatus consists of a blackboard and multiple reasoning engines for processing each of the kind of contextual information, namely, Transaction reasoning engine (TRE), Function reasoning engine (FRE), Signal reasoning engine (SRE), Execution reasoning engine (ERE), Monitor reasoning engine (MRE) and Global reasoning engine (GRE).
Another aspect of the invention is a method for processing of alarms, in which alarms are processed collaboratively by the various reasoning engines.
Yet another aspect of the invention is a definition of a process for the design of the system based on the "Design for Diagnosis" approach. DFD approach is an enhanced hardware-software co-design methodology to improve the diagnosibility of the system. This methodology provides a process to collect the knowledge and database information during the system design and to identify contextual information and design of means for collecting the contextual information from CES at run-time.
Present invention is advantageous in reducing the complexity of alarm processing arising out of enormity of alarms by logically grouping them based on transactions.
Present invention further addresses the problem of ambiguity in alarm information by providing a method for using monitor variables for ambiguity resolution and addresses the problem of insufficiency of information accompanying the alarms, by defining additional contextual information and providing methods for collecting and analyzing the contextual information.
Nano-Agents (ηAs) (1000) are implemented in the core electronic system to facilitate the collection of contextual information to monitor the state of hardware and software of CES. Function-stones (f-stones) (1005) are implemented in critical functions identified during the design of CES to collect the information related to the transaction and the usecase associated with the function under execution.
A component SCOP (1010) collects the information from software ηAs, filters information based on pre-defined requirements, and communicates this information to FIS.
A component HCOP (1015) collects the information from hardware ηAs (in SoCs and ASICs) and sensors, filters information based on pre-defined requirements, and communicates this information to FIS.
FIS comprises of the following REs:
The blackboard in FIS is a shared memory through which various subsystems share the data among themselves using a messaging mechanism (1080).
Upon receiving a fault identification notification from GRE, FIS notifies about the fault occurrence to the operator. Subsequent feedback from the operator is collected by FIS either as fault rectified or rejected and posted to the blackboard.
Modularity in collaborative reasoning with multiple REs localizes the updation required due to continues changes in evolving systems. For example, if hardware of CES is enhanced, enhancement is updated mostly in SRE, without disturbing other REs.
The spaces are:
F-space is a set of software function hierarchies where each hierarchy comprises of multiple functions based on caller-callee relationship. Every function conceptually belongs to one or more transactions.
Resource and signal spaces together cover the complete hardware of CES. Resource space defines the hardware resources such as ASIC, SoC, microprocessors, memory modules, and discrete components of CES. Signal space defines signal flow in the hardware. Elements of a signal space are two or more resource space elements that are connected by signal paths. Signal and resource spaces are together referred as S-space.
Another soft space that provides additional contextual information is E-space. E-space is a set of execution units (Ei). In every execution unit, a set of transactions get executed.
A transaction space enables a logical grouping and processing of alarms with additional contextual information. A sequence of function invocations defines a transaction and the definition of a transaction is restricted to a unit that gets executed completely in a thread or process. Transactions that directly interact with the hardware components (one or more signal space elements) are referred as Kernel Transaction (KT). T-space is a set of transaction hierarchies where each hierarchy (Ti) comprises of multiple transactions (tj's). Several tj's in a hierarchy could be related to each other in many ways. A few examples of relations among tj's in a Ti hierarchy are: Mutually Exclusive (execution of one transaction rules out the execution the other transaction), Conditional (a transaction is executed on a condition), sequential (two transactions are executed one after another), concurrent (two transactions are executed simultaneously), and transactions with common inputs/shared data (two transactions operate on a shared resource).
TRE further checks if this alarm is the first one in the identified transaction (2320). If the alarm generated is the first alarm in the identified transaction, TRE further processes the alarm, by getting all possible annotations containing the alarm for the identified transaction (2325). For all of the above annotations, TRE constructs derived segments (DS) based on the generated alarm (2330). A derived segment (DS) is a part of an annotation consisting of the alarms that have occurred and the alarms, which are missing but have AMV support. For example, if alarms a1 and a3 have occurred in sequence and if corresponding annotation is [a1, a2, a3], then the derived segment is considered as DS=[a1, a2, a3] with a2 as a missing alarm. Support for a missing alarm is derived from the analysis of the associated AMV information. If the AMV information supports the occurrence of the missing alarm, then alarm is considered to have occurred and appropriate probability is associated with the occurrence. For each of the identified annotations, TRE constructs the derived segments and updates these derived segments based on the occurrence of the alarm and the AMV analysis of the missing alarms (2335).
Validation of a missing alarm is based on the processing of the rules related to an appropriate AMV. The probability of occurrence of the missing alarm is estimated based on the extent of matching of the AMV with respect to the rules and it is used to define the probability of the occurrence of the alarm.
As further alarms occur, the derived segments are updated incrementally as described in steps 2340 through 2355.
An example provided below explains the construction of derived segments:
Example 1: Consider the following four sample annotations:
On occurrence of first alarm a1, annotations 1, 2, and 3 contain the alarm a1 and hence these are selected for defining the derived segments.
DS1=[a1] based on comparison with Annotation 1
DS2=[a2] based on comparison with Annotation 2
DS3=[a9, a1] based on comparison with Annotation 3 and although alarm a1 has occurred, a9 is missing. TRE analyses the information related to the associated AMV to validate the support for the missing alarm, and based on the support for the occurrence of the missing alarm, the derived segment is updated.
In case when the alarm received is not the first one in the transaction (2320), TRE checks the generated alarm with respect to each of the DSs (2340). Further, TRE performs missing alarm analysis for out of sequence alarms and suitably updates the DSs with annotation probabilities (2345).
Continuing Example 1, upon receiving the second alarm a2, the derived segments are updated as follows: Since only annotation 1 has a2, DS1 alone is updated and DS2 and DS3 remain unchanged.
In step 2350, TRE queries the current usecase information for the annotations containing the current alarm. If annotations are found, TRE processes the alarm from the step 2315 onwards. TRE checks and notifies DS Compete internal notification for each of DSs that completely match with an annotation (2355).
Upon receiving AMV change internal notification, TRE checks and updates pre-/post-conditions of all DSs in Pending DS list based on changed AMV and transfers those DSs whose pre- and post-conditions got completely satisfied to Open DS list (2363). On receiving DS complete notification, TRE updates Open DS list with the completed DS (2364).
For each DS in the Open DS list, TRE performs the following steps (2365):
Following are the notifications sent to the blackboard by FRE based on the information collected from SCOP:
Another preferred embodiment of this invention covers the aspect of design for diagnosis (DFD). Design for diagnosis is aimed to minimize MTTR by designing the CES to provide maximum additional contextual information for the alarms generated, thus enhancing the precision with which the faults can be diagnosed within a minimum amount of time.
Another phase of the DFD addresses software related diagnostic issues. During software design of CES, a group of experts, specialized in alarm management and effective analysis (AMEA), performs the following (9005);
A joint analysis by FMEA experts and AMEA experts results in the following (9010):
DFD approach is an enhanced hardware-software co-design methodology to improve the diagnosibility of the system. The enhancements are along two directions:
The key steps involved in the DFD process II (
Given M and S matrices of snapped values for N1 soft-variables and N2 hard-variables with respect to an epoch (EpochID), the objective is to find <U,T> that is a part of the context associated with a sequence of alarms A1, . . . , Ax. Extract Mu and Su from M and S matrices respectively. Here, Mu is a subset of N1 soft-variables that is related to usecases associated with the epoch and similarly, Su is a subset of N2 hard-variables that is related to usecases associated with the epoch. Use Mu and Su centroid values and the U-Detector associated with the epoch to detect usecase U. Similarly, extract Mt and St subsets of variables that are related to transactions associated with the epoch and the use the centroid values and the T-Detector associated with the epoch to determine T.
For alarm Ai, let Ei be the corresponding execution context snapshot. This snapshot contains enough information to perform a table lookup to identify the function Fi. Note that the alarm Ai got raised during the execution of Fi. Hence, <U,T,Fi> is the generated contextual information associated with Ai and <U,T,<F1, . . . , Fx>> is the contextual information associated with the alarm sequence <A1, . . . , Ax> with respect to the epoch EpochID.
For a fault under consideration, determine the various symptoms. Determine hardware and software conditions that need to be set to generate the fault and also to observe the various symptoms. For a usecase U and testcase T, set the required hardware and software conditions and execute the system. Note that the testcases during testing or running of the system under simulated conditions is the same as transactions during live run of the system. Identify the epoch (EpochID) and collect the generated alarms, (A1, . . . ,Ax). Also, obtain the execution space information (E1, . . . ,Ex) corresponding to the alarms. For each Ai, determine the context <U,T,Fi>. Using this data, generate training data for a symptom detector for an epoch and train M symptom detectors where M is the number of observable symptoms. Similarly, generate training data to train a B-Detector for an epoch.

Harmonite® can help your formulation bind, seal and adhere better
If you have a CASE (Coating, Adhesive, Sealant, Elastomer) formulation that relies on bitumen or modified bitumen as an ingredient, Harmonite can be a high-performance, economical additive different from any other.
While Harmonite's enhanced adhesive and sealing properties make it ideal for so many CASE applications, it still helps maintain sufficient viscosity for easy 'spreadability', spraying and trowelling in coatings, mastics, sealers and fillers.
Adhesive applications — How does Harmonite help your formulation 'stick' better than traditional additives and binders?
Harmonite contains roughly two to three times the resins and asphaltenes of other bitumens — these are the highly polar and high molecular weight fractions that exhibit polymeric behavior. The result: adhesive formulations with increased tack, stiffness and viscosity.
Sealant and coating applications
- Harmonite's natural water proofing properties and its adhesive characteristics make it ideal for brush, roll and spray applied coatings, fillers and sealers.
- Harmonite's performance as a binder improves durability and shortens cure time for seal coats.
- Harmonite helps provide a better moisture/air barrier for rubber-based sealants and other coatings.
The asphaltene structure of Harmonite strengthens softer petroleum fractions, impacting typical surface asphalts, cut-back oils and binders by bonding to them and forming larger molecules faster. The same asphaltenes also help increase viscosity of fluids, making them harder and more resistant to deforming flow.

Not just a commodity additive

It's another Friday, which means I feel compelled to spout some BS into the great abyss we call the Internets.
I'll probably do a few more today, but this post is just random bullshit.
I bought Peggle again, this time for the iPhone. I looked for it in the AppStore a few weeks ago and couldn't believe it wasn't there; apparently it just came out a few days ago.
If you've never played Peggle, well, I'm sorry. It's digital crack in the form of simulated balls you shoot to hit pegs. Super simple, super fun, super addicting. And now on my phone.
Carolla had a funny podcast today. He was interviewing a congressman and his wife from Ohio. The wife had mental health issues, one kid was in rehab, one killed small animals, the congressman had a couple weeks in France where he went gay, then came back for gay counseling, he and his wife had never consumated their marraige due to her vaginal problem (too tight to get a penis in, kid was from artificial insemination).
It turns out the whole thing was a parody, but damn if it wasn't a believeable at first. I mean, would he really be the first fucked up repressed gay elected official who railed against gays, and was all about the traditional family even though his was totally fucked?
Anyhow, check out the Adam Carolla podcast, I can't wait to see Star Trek in IMAX on Monday. That movie was effing sweet.

|Reviews for The Ranger Unmasked
| Deleted11152015 chapter 21 . 6/30/2012
"Most gracious Lord Elrond," he said through a curtain of golden hair. "I ask your permission to make a humble proposition."
this is going to be interesting!
I've been at camp, so I just got to reading a bunch of chapters now- you make me interested! Now I'm curious if Adrian is even human- this is getting really interesting.
And for those who read my review- READ THIS STORY! It's the best Legomance I've read yet.
Cretha Loesing
| Elf from Downunder chapter 21 . 6/26/2012
Adrian and Legolas seem like they'll never become friends at this rate.
I wonder if Elrond will make BOTH of them still travel with the Fellowship in order to get along. ;)
| Elf from Downunder chapter 20 . 6/24/2012
Yes, isn't Adrian so infuriating? But I think he has a scarred past ... something that makes him the way he is.
I wonder if the elleth in this chapter will appear in more chapters ...
Update soon!
| Elleth of Hidden Lore chapter 20 . 6/24/2012
Okay so this story has gotten me curious and I want to follow it. I saw that it said romance on the presentation but I am not sure if it means Legolas and the ranger. He is a man right? But Legolas was interested in that elleth before so I don't know. I personally don't favor slash much but I want to know what happens so I'm following :)

I have a feeling that Adrian will surprise Legolas :) I wonder how this competition will turn out, and how the Fellowship will react!

The ending was so unexpected! I wonder how it'll turn out? Good luck with the updating (and studying)! ;)

This is hilarious, I can't wait for the outcome.
| Elf from Downunder chapter 17 . 4/27/2012
Ohhh ... this is getting interesting! Please continue! :)
I wonder who Adrian really is?
| Deleted11152015 chapter 17 . 4/26/2012
Love interest!
It's getting interesting... I like it!

I like your story...
However, on one note (there is no need to correct this if you don't want to) is dork a Lotr-appropriate word?
Nevermind, on second thoughts, it would be hard to replace that.
However here are some ideas:
Cad (player/two-timer guy)
Coxcombe (guy who's stuck-up)
Here's the Website I got it fro : / / . / ? There's a lot of them on there.

This is an interesting story so far... I'm thinking that this 'Adrian' fella is actually a girl... but I'm hoping this won't turn into a romance. My one problem is that Legolas is majorly OOC. He's way too vain, bratty and pretty stupid. And he seems to have anger issues. All of those traits are not like Legolas at all, and that's kind of annoying. And then Adrian is a total jerk. If Adrian really is a she, than I guess you were going for opposites attract (Legolas' extreme handsomeness and suaveness Adrian(na)'s extreme ugliness and gruffness)
But maybe I'm totally wrong about the Adrian(na) thing. :P But either way, although Adrian isn't a Mary Sue, he seems to be tipping off the opposite end of the scale. He's SO unlikeable I really couldn't care less for what happens to him. Which is not a thing you want your readers to feel. I'm starting to feel the same way about uber-OOC Legolas.
I suggest you give Adrian some decent characteristics and clean up Legolas' OOCness. Oh, and make the chapters longer. It's kind of pointless and frustrating when they're only 200 words long.
Okay, that was a lot of criticism, so I hope you aren't offended. Whatever you do, don't give up! Just keep writing and you will get better! Good luck!

Yay! Legolas' back! Or is he? ;) I loved the ending!
the "Aren't you happy to see me?" line from ... Adrian?
Update soon!

Awesome as chapter! Great description of the night sky!
Don't we just love Legolas? Let's see how he can pull himself together!
Can't wait until you update!
