The present invention relates to digital storage devices, and more specifically, to dynamic random access memory.
Improvements in fabrication technology have resulted in dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) with increased density, faster performance, and higher operating frequencies. Because overall memory bandwidth requirements are rising and the number of DRAMs in a system is falling, the ability to quickly transport data to and from each DRAM has become increasingly important.
Asynchronous DRAMs
In conventional memory systems, the communication between a memory controller and DRAMs is performed through asynchronous communications. For example, the memory controller uses control signals to indicate to the DRAM when requests for data transactions are sent. The data transfers themselves are also performed asynchronously. To meet increased speed requirements, various enhanced asynchronous memory systems have been developed. One such system is the Extended Data Out (EDO) DRAM memory system.
Upon receiving an address, row decoder 106 loads data that corresponds to the address from a memory array 110 in memory core 102 into a sense amplifier array 130. Line 124 carries a column address strobe (
Alternately, an EDO DRAM may use address transition detect circuitry to initiate the retrieval of data from the memory core, rather than the
The communication between the EDO DRAM and the memory controller is asynchronous. Thus, the EDO DRAM is not driven by an external clock. Rather, timing chains 108 that are activated by the

In one variation, the memory controller is allowed to have column address flow through. The memory controller therefore has until T3 (the fall of
Synchronous DRAMs
DRAMs built with an asynchronous RAS/CAS interface have difficulty meeting the high memory bandwidth demands of many current computer systems. As a result, synchronous interface standards have been proposed. These alternative interface standards include Synchronous DRAMs (SDRAMs). In contrast to the asynchronous interface of EDO DRAMS, SDRAM systems use a clock to synchronize the communication between the memory controller and the SDRAMs. Timing communication with a clock allows data to be placed on the DRAM output with more precise timing. In addition, the clock signal can be used for internal pipelining. These characteristics of synchronous communication results in higher possible transfer rates.
Because system 300 is synchronous, various issues arise that do not arise in asynchronous systems. Specifically, the synchronous system has numerous pipeline stages. Unbalanced pipeline stages waste computational time. For example, if a shorter pipeline stage is fed by a longer pipeline stage, there will be some period of time in which the shorter pipeline stage remains idle after finishing its operation and before receiving the next set of data from the preceding pipeline stage. Similarly, if a short pipeline stage feeds a longer pipeline stage, the shorter pipeline stage must wait until the longer pipeline stage has completed before feeding the longer pipeline stage with new input.
Each stage in the pipeline must allow for the setup, clock transition, and clock-to-output time of the flip-flop that is dividing the stages. Typically the execution time of each step is not substantially larger than the sum of these overheads, so the latency is significantly increased by them. Further, the memory controller may be running from a clock of a different frequency and/or phase from the DRAM subsystem clock. Crossing the boundaries between these clocks requires a time proportional to the clock frequencies. In addition, the architecture must take into account jitter that occurs when various data queues are clocked.
In general, the synchronous nature of the SDRAM architecture gives SDRAMs higher transfer rates than EDO DRAMs. However, the higher rates are achieved at the expense of increased latency and power consumption. Specifically, the time required to clock control and address data through various pipeline stages increases the delay between when an address for a read operation is transmitted and when the data from the specified address is actually supplied by the SDRAM.
The increased overhead (OV) that results from the use of synchronous transfer rather than an asynchronous transfer can be expressed by the formula OV=SD+(TDC−D1)+(TDC−D3)+(TDC−(D2 MOD TDC)), SD is synchronization delay, TDC is the time period of the DRAM clock, D1 is the delay due to controller-to-DRAM time of flight, D2 is the time to perform a CAS operation, D3 is the delay due to DRAM-to-controller time of flight, and (D2 MOD TDC) is the remainder of (D2/TDC). SD is typically equal to (TDC+TCC), where TCC is the duration of the controller clock cycle. In a system in which the external clock is at 66 Mhz and the DRAM subsystem clock is at 83 Mhz, typical values may be: TDC is 12 ns, TCC is 15 ns, D1 is 6 ns, D2 is 35 ns, and D3 is 6 ns. Thus, a typical OV would be (15+12)+(12−6)+(12−6)+(12−11)=40 ns.
Further, systems that use SDRAMs typically consume more power than the systems that use EDO DRAMs because, when the clock is enabled, the SDRAM interface is clocked whether or not a data transfer operation is actually being performed. For example, under typical conditions SDRAMs in an idle state consume approximately two to ten times more energy than EDO DRAMs in an idle state. When the clock is disabled, the clock must be enabled before a data transfer operation can be performed. More specifically, the clock must be enabled before any address or control information can be sampled by the SDRAM. The time used to enable the clock signal further increases the delay between the time that data is desired and the time that the requested data is available.
One object of the invention is to provide a memory system with an improved balance between request-to-data latency, power consumption and bandwidth.
According to one aspect of the invention, a memory interface is provided that maintains the high-bandwidth of synchronous systems, while reducing the latency and power requirements of these systems. This is accomplished by using an asynchronous interface for the address and control information, and using a synchronous interface for fast data transport.
According to one aspect of the invention, a controller transmits control signals requesting a data transfer to a memory device. The memory device asynchronously receives the control signals and synchronously performs the requested data transfer.
The memory device has a first mode in which data transfer circuits within the memory device are not driven by an internal clock signal. The memory device has a second mode in which data transfer circuits within the memory device are driven by the internal clock signal.
The memory device asynchronously receives the control signals. If the memory device is in the first mode, the memory device may assume the second mode in response to one or more of the control signals from a memory controller. While in the second mode, the memory device transfers data with the data transfer circuits while the data transfer circuits are being driven by the internal clock signal. The memory device is also able to asynchronously perform data transfers while the memory device is in the first mode.
The internal clock signal is generated from an external clock signal that may selectively pass through a delay lock loop within the memory device. The memory device may support higher clock frequencies when the external clock signal passes through the delay lock loop to drive the data transfer circuits during a data transfer. Energy may be saved by circumventing the delay lock loop and using an external clock signal with a relatively slower frequency to drive the data transfer circuits during a data transfer.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings and in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements and in which:

The DRAM 520 has a core 522 that includes a memory array 524, a sense amplifier array 560, column I/O circuits 562, a row decoder 526 and a column decoder 528. DRAM 520 further includes core timing chains 530, latches 532 and 534, a clocked buffer 536, a finite state machine 538, a flip flop circuit 540 and a clock buffer 544. DRAM 520 further includes a clock generation circuit (CGC) 570 and a mode control circuit 566. As shall be explained in greater detail below, in system 500, data transfers are requested using asynchronous communication, while the actual data transfers performed in response to the requests may be performed using synchronous communication or asynchronous communication, depending on the mode selected by mode control circuit 566.
DRAM 520 illustrates an embodiment that supports at least three data transfer modes: synchronous mode, slow synchronous mode, and asynchronous mode. As shall be described in greater detail hereafter, mode control circuit 566 controls the transfer mode currently in effect in DRAM 520. Mode control circuit 566 may be, for example, a value stored in a register of DRAM 520, or pin coupled to an external control line.

Significantly, all of the control information to perform the read transaction is sent without reference to any particular clock cycles. This is true even though the internal clock of DRAM 520 may be active at the time at which some of the control signals are sent by the memory controller 518. For example, the internal clock is active at time T6 when the second column address is latched to the column decoder. However, the timing of the

Multi-Mode Clock Generation Circuit
As mentioned above, DRAM 520 supports a synchronous data transfer mode, a slow synchronous data transfer mode, and an asynchronous data transfer mode. The current data transfer mode determines the signal at the output of clock generation circuit 570. The mode is selected by mode control circuit 566, which may be, for example, a value in a register within DRAM 520 or a pin connected to an external control line.

Clock Activation
Returning again to the transaction illustrated in
In the illustrated read transaction, the source of the clock signal on line 512 is not activated until time T2. By turning off the source of the external clock signal when no data transfers are in progress, both the external clock source and DRAM 520 conserve power when data transfer operations are not being performed. In alternative embodiments, the source of the external clock signal on line 512 remains on, while the internal clock signal on line 546 is only turned on when DRAM 520 is actually involved in a data transfer, as described above.
Synchronizing the Timing
After time T3, the DRAM 520 has all the information it requires to transmit data from the specified row and column, but does not yet know when to begin sending the data. In conventional SDRAMs, the timing of the data transfer is based on the timing of the data transfer request. Thus, if a controller sends a data transfer request on a particular clock cycle, then the controller knows that the requested data transfer will begin a predetermined number of clock cycles after the particular clock cycle.
In system 500, the data transfer requests are transmitted in an asynchronous manner. In fact, the clock source whose signal is used to time synchronous data transfers may not even be active at the time the
According to one embodiment of the invention, the rising edge of the

In the illustrated read transaction, the first timing mark occurs at time T4. In one embodiment, the finite state machine 538 begins the transmission of the requested data a predetermined number of clock cycles after the timing mark, and memory controller 518 knows to expect the data from DRAM 520 the predetermined number of clock cycles after the timing mark. The predetermined number may be a fixed constant, or a value stored in a register within DRAM 520.

In response to the
In the embodiment described above, data is transferred through column I/O circuits 562 to clocked buffer 536 eight bytes at a time, and transferred out of clocked buffer 536 to clocked buffer 550 one byte at a time. Consequently, in this embodiment, clocked buffer 536 may be a parallel to serial shift register, while clocked buffer 550 may be a serial to parallel shift register. The buffer circuits used to perform the transfer function may vary from implementation to implementation. The present invention is not limited to any particular type of clocked buffers, nor any particular clock speeds or bandwidths used to transfer data within DRAM 520 or between DRAM 520 and memory controller 518.
Shutdown After a Data Transfer
As mentioned above, the synchronous components within DRAM 520 begin to be driven at time T2 by the clock signal on line 512. While these components are being driven by the clock signal, the DRAM 520 continues to consume relatively large amounts of power. DRAM 520 would continue to consume large amounts of power even when DRAM 520 is not involved in a data transfer if the DRAM 520 is not isolated from the clock signal on line 512 after the completion of a data transfer. Therefore, finite state machine 538 contains a mechanism for turning off clock buffer 544 after all of the outstanding data transfer operations that involve DRAM 520 have been completed.
According to one embodiment of the invention, finite state machine 538 uses a countdown timer to determine when to turn off the clock buffer 544. Specifically, upon detecting the timing mark, finite state machine 538 stores a count value in a countdown timer and begins decrementing the count value during each clock cycle. As shall be explained in greater detail below, the countdown timer is incremented or reloaded for each data block in multiple-block transfers. When count value of the countdown timer reaches zero, the finite state machine 538 sends a signal to flip flop 540 over a line 542 to cause the flip flop 540 to turn off the clock buffer 544. When clock buffer 544 is turned off, the synchronous components of DRAM 520 cease to be driven by the clock signal on line 512, causing DRAM 520 to assume a state in which little power is consumed.
Alternative embodiments may use other mechanisms for turning off the clock buffer 544 when all data transfers involving the DRAM 520 have been completed. For example, logic circuits within finite state machine 538 may be configured to detect the completion of a data transfer operation and determine whether there is any outstanding transaction that involves DRAM 520. If there is an outstanding transaction, then the finite state machine 538 transmits the appropriate signals to the clocked buffer 536 to perform the outstanding transaction. If there are no outstanding transactions that involve DRAM 520, then the finite state machine 538 sends a signal to the flip flop 540 to cause the clock buffer 544 to be turned off.
Asynchronous Data Transfer Mode
To achieve high data transfer rates, synchronous transfers can be performed as described above. However, under certain conditions it may be desirable to avoid the relatively high power consumption requirements of DLL 572 by performing data transfers asynchronously.
To perform asynchronous data transfers, mode control circuit 566 applies a control signal to line 568 to cause the signal on
In an alternate embodiment, asynchronous transfers may be performed by placing the clocked buffer 536 in flow-through. To address the width mismatch between the internal data bus 523 and the external data bus 510, the memory controller 518 presents sufficient addressing information to the DRAM 520 to select a single byte from the eight bytes loaded on the sense amplifier array 560.
Slow Synchronous Data Transfer Mode
Even when synchronous data transfers are desired, the delay lock loop circuit 572 within clock generation circuit 570 may be bypassed to reduce power consumption. To bypass DLL 572, mode control circuit 566 applies a control signal to line 568 to cause the signal on line 512 to be generated at the output of clock generation circuit 570, as described above.
However, DRAM 520 cannot support the same transfer rate without the clock synchronization provided by the DLL 572 as it can with a clock synchronized by the DLL 572. Consequently, when the DLL 572 is bypassed, a slower clock signal must be used to perform the synchronous data transfers. Due to the lower clock frequency, the synchronous data transfers take longer than when the DLL 572 is used. Consequently, DRAM 520 is said to be in "slow" synchronous data transfer mode when an external clock signal that has not been phase compensated by a DLL is used to drive the data transfers.
Multiple-Block Transfers
In an embodiment that uses a countdown timer, the seed count value used by the countdown timer is based on the amount of time required for DRAM 520 to send one packet of data (eight bytes in the illustrated example). Specifically, after the timing mark is detected, the clock buffer 544 must stay on long enough for a packet of data to be accessed, loaded, and transmitted from DRAM 520. If a new column address arrives before data from the previous column address has been completely transferred, then the clock buffer 544 should stay on until the data from the new column address has been transmitted.
To prevent clock buffer 544 from being turned off between consecutive packet transfers, the finite state machine 538 adds a predetermined value to the count value in the countdown timer upon detecting a falling edge of the
In an alternate embodiment, a predetermined value is loaded into the countdown timer upon detecting a falling edge of the

As if Tom Brady couldn't be any more successful, the New England Patriots quarterback signed a multiyear endorsement deal with Aston Martin, the British luxury car company announced Friday.
Aston Martin will pay Brady to drive and pitch the DB11, a car worth at least $211,995, according to ESPN.
"As a longtime fan and driver I am honored to join the Aston Martin team at this special moment in the company's history," Brady said in a press release.
Brady will also get to help design his own version of Aston Martin's "Vanquish S" line. Only 12, the same number as Brady's jersey, will be made and available for the public to buy.

PinneyAssociates' Jack Henningfield to Address Abuse Liability Tamper Testing as a Foundation for Drug Scheduling
Feb 18, 2014, 17:26 ET from PinneyAssociates
BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack E. Henningfield, PhD, Vice President for Research and Health Policy at Pinney Associates, will address the science of abuse liability tamper testing of controlled substances during a February 19 roundtable session at The Food and Drug Law Institute 2014 Controlled Substances Regulation Conference in Washington, DC.
"Rigorous testing of formulation, extraction, and tampering offers sponsors a place to discuss appropriate scheduling of novel molecules and formulations of controlled substances with regulators," said Dr. Jack Henningfield. "Sponsors must anticipate and respond to the regulatory expectations for tamper testing and abuse liability assessment within the context of the evolving science and FDA guidance."
See more about the meeting, registration, and the full agenda at: http://www.fdli.org/conferences/conference-pages/2014-controlled-substances-conference/agenda.
Pinney Associates' scientists include internationally respected leaders in the evolving science of in vitro assessment of abuse-deterrent drugs and formulations (commonly referred to as "tamper testing") and drug abuse liability assessment. Through our collaborations, we offer comprehensive in vitro assessment on abuse-deterrence and tamper resistance, animal and human abuse liability assessment related services.

I rooted it and then tried to unroot it, and when I did I put like the necessary files to do it and then then the sign in to gmail account showed up like when you first get the phone. So I attempted to unlock it but I keep getting the error saying I dont have data, but I do (100% sure) - Im in the US so I use the Tmobile USA APN - I tried to unlock it with an att sim choosing the Att apn but nothing (it worked before when I first got the phone and it was rooted) - So I tried my friends Tmobile sim who also has a data plan and still the same error - I even did a fatory reset (Alt w) and tried again and still same thing - the phone is still rooted, any suggestions? please help. thanks. - I think the files that I put to unroot might have messed this up. should i use another phone and put the right files on the micro sd card and try it on g1. Anyone know the right files that I would need.


text: This text discusses the forensic techniques of witness examination and jury speech. However, this text attempts to teach the student far more than forensic technique. Throughout this text, the authors have emphasized the need for strategic evaluation of the case - rational, systematic planning. That planning demands the type of precise fact analysis and predictive judgement which Karl Llewellyn describes as the reason d'etre of the law school curriculum. For an instructions conference in law reform litigation, the trial attorney must draft a jury instruction on his or her legal theory. To do so, the attorney must be able to identify the facts triggering the social policies which will motivate the trial and appellate courts to reform the law - an analytic skill learned in the most Socratic law school courses. In making such decisions such as the choice of a theory of the cases and the exercise of strikes during jury selection during jury selection, the litigator makes difficult predictive judgements. Llewellyn himself wrote that one of the most important lessons for law students to learn is that the so-called rules of law are essentially predictions of legal behavior.

Feels like I never left! I have our hotel booked for the team already for regionals in the spring, I'm holding my first parent meeting of the year the Thursday, and I have a meeting with other managers and coaches on Monday. I love our coach this year, she's keeping me in the loop more and we have been talking regularly about our expectations for the team. I'm hoping to get the jerseys soon and have people hand in their name plates so I can start sewing those on, I want to do those myself this year instead of paying to have someone else do it.
Oh and I wanted to ask you guys have you ever heard of a gift card fundraiser? I've done a lot of fundraisers over the past 5 years or so of having kids in school and sports and this is the most unique one I've ever seen, but maybe it's just me. OK, so it runs like this, the group is purchasing gift cards at a discount then we buy them for regular price, the difference goes to the kids. They are gift cards for places like No Frills and Loblaws, Timmy's, different restaurants, other grocery stores and like Home Depot and hardware stores. They are running it once a month all year.

text: I was told this story by girls that tried to botch my relationship.. (100 percent true) I was sitting down with an ex girlfriend and her two girls., all of a sudden my current girlfriends name came up. the two girls asked "wait you know Alissa?" and "oh my god hold on your the 'Tommy'?" I was like "yeah, why?" (instant regret) they said "wait Alissa...the one that Dustin is fucking?" my heart dropped, it was all news to my ears. These two girls went on to gossip like school girls while my ex drilled them for more info, the more I heard the more I felt sick. They bounced the story back and forth between the two saying how they where over Taylor and Megan's house (who I know and dislike very much) and Alissa was in the room with Dustin on the bed smoking and when the two girls walked in My girl got up and told them to leave shoving them out of the room. The two girls said that "all Megan, Taylor, Dustin and Alissa did were smoke take ectasy and all fuck on the same bed". They then had the nerve and I swear they actually said this in front of my ex in a quiet happy hour bar "Megan said that Alissa told her that she cant fuck you after Dustin because his dick is so big and you would notice she's stretched out". my ex vouched for me and was like "thats bullshit!! believe me Tommy's good!" They said "Hey! just saying what we heard, but we know Taylor has a monster cock!" I was in shock, I couldn't picture this 100 pound wet, short, little, skinny white kid with a huge dick like they described. The two girls continued on to say how they know Taylor had a big dick. First off Megan and Taylor are a young "on and off couple" that like to swing. They recruit young girls and guys to share amongst each other and now my girl was in the mix. So supposedly Taylor was coming out if the bathroom after he just fucked Megan and and my girlfriend and these two girls were there and saw him tuck his big fat limp dick into his boxers, they said they were in awe with jaws dropped. Long story short Megan and Taylor introduced my girl to Dustin because they swung with him before and he was really hung as well. They would just feed my girl drugs to make her horny and just plow her little pussy. Megan would hold my girls legs back while Taylor and Dustin would take turns jamming they're cocks inside her. Taylor, Dustin and Megan were all about 26-28 years old and my girl was only 19 turning 20. Megan had my girl turned out. She then introduced my girl to some black layer kid named Rob and he use to fuck them both,

Karachi: Pakistan cricket captain Waqar Younis Tuesday welcomed the decision of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to penalise players for defeat and dispense rewards for victory.
I think it will bear positive results and be a great motivation for the players to thwart a defeat and always go for the win, Waqar said.
I dont see it as a threat and hope that players will do their best to cash in on these incentives, he hoped.
Pakistani cricket will improve only with the mutual consent of players and the board and I see full co-operation between them.
The PCB will penalise players up to Rs 60,000 ($1,000) if they are not up to the fitness standards required for international cricket, a problem which has plagued the Pakistan team.
The PCB has also maintained the cash incentives introduced last year. A batsman will get Rs 2.5 lakh for a double century and Rs. 1 lakh for each century. A five-wicket haul will fetch a bowler Rs1 lakh and six or more wickets would earn him Rs 2 lakh.A wicketkeeper will gain one lakh if he gets four or more victims, while a fielder will also get a lakh for four catches or a run-out.

The company, which has issued four profit warnings this year, said in a statement that it had "adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future".
HMV Group
However, it warned: "The economic environment and trading circumstances create material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern in the future."
The shares fell 0.31 to 3.56p, valuing the company at £15m, the equivalent of about one week's worth of sales.
The group, which secured a £220m refinancing deal with banks in June, said directors are in "regular and constructive discussions" with its banks. But despite selling its Waterstone's business, as well as HMV Canada, its net debt has increased from £152m a year ago to £164m.
It has now announced it is looking at selling HMV Live, its music venue business, which runs 13 venues and a number of festivals including Lovebox in London and Global Gathering near Stratford-upon-Avon, under strategic review which may lead to its sale. It hopes to receive at least £60m (the price it paid for it) from any sale.
Underlying sales at HMV have fallen 11.9pc in the first half, with some sign that sales had performed less poorly in recent months. However, Simon Fox, the chief executive said: "We've never said we are not in a structurally demanding market."
Intense competition from supermarkets and internet retailers, the increasing popularity of digital downloading which has hurt CD and DVD sales, coupled with the consumer downturn has hit the group hard.
HMV has responded by shifting its emphasis to MP3 players, headphones, speaker docks and tablet computers – a move some analysts regard as a "sticking plaster". Mr Fox said he wants the business to make a third of its revenues from these products, compared with the current 12pc.
Neil Saunders, managing director of Conlumino, a retail consultancy, said: "The technology market is low margin, subject to fierce competition and is also increasingly migrating online. Ultimately, it will only delay, not prevent, the ongoing decline at HMV."
Net losses rose to £50.1m in the 26 weeks to October 29, down from a £30.1m net loss in the same period last year. This included a £10m loss from discontinued businesses.
Total sales dropped 17.6pc to £364.9m.

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott will not reconsider a taxpayer handout to troubled fruit processor SPC Ardmona despite criticism from Liberal and National MPs on the decision.
Mr Abbott has been urged to rethink the government's refusal of a $25 million lifeline to SPC on the grounds that its worker entitlements were too generous.
He's faced criticism from Liberal MP Sharman Stone who's accused him of misleading the public over cabinet's decision, denying SPC was "guilty" of union rorts.
Nationals MP Ron Boswell has also criticised the decision, saying Mr Abbott should have consulted the coalition party room beforehand.
He's vowed to raise the issue in a future meeting.
Speaking to reporters in Adelaide, Mr Abbott said the government will not revisit its decision.
He said it was natural for there for to be some reaction to the "tough" but "necessary" decision and he understood Dr Stone was "bitterly disappointed" by the move.
"I've got to say it was a defining decision and it's not one that the government will revisit."
He stood by his comments blaming SPC's generous employee entitlements as a factor in the government's decision, even though the company has strongly rejected his claims about conditions.
"I stand by what was said by me and what was said by ministers."
Originally published as SPC decision will not be revisited: PM

Bhubaneswar, Aug 22 (UNI) Nearly one fourth of the construction work of the Dhamra port in Bhadrak district has already been completed, Commerce Minister Jayanarayan Mishra told the Assembly today.
Replying to a question of Ananta Das (BJD), the Minister said 1957.69 acres of private land for the laying of railway line from the Dharma port to Bhadrak had been acquired and 879.10 acres of government land had been handed over to International Sea Ports Limited, the company developing the port.
Mr Mishra said the work was in progress for construction of 62.5 km of embankment, procurement of rail sleeper, construction of bridges, jetty, sea digging and reservoir excavation.
The work was also going on for the construction of the Bulk Material Hnandling Plant and the Galvanised Tower Plant for the 132 kv electric linem he added.
Similarly, process was on for the handing over of 1215 acres of land to Creative Port Development Private Ltd for developing the port at Kirtania on the mouth of Subarnarekha river.
The land scheduled was sent to the Collector. The company was conducting a survey for the land required for laying the railway line and roads, the Minister said.
The company had applied to the Centre for the Rail Transport Clerance, he added..
The Minister said the state industries department was taking steps to set up a shipbuilding yard project, oil rig, offshore structures and support vessels manufacturing and repairs unit at Chardia, Dhamra.
But the government had not yet received any proposal from any industrial house to set up any port based industry at Kirtania, he said.

Be the First to Give Him Gold
Be the first to give him gold
Sometimes, we only realise how precious something is to us after it has stood the test of time. On my first birthday, Grandpa gave me a lunar coin as a present. I must have thought very little of it back then as Dad recounted that I immediately tossed it away after picking it up. Everyone laughed at me and till this day insist that I've always been quite a silly child growing up.
Today, Grandpa is no longer around but the coin still follows me wherever I go. Time reveals the value of everything and through the years, the coin has become a priceless treasure to me. While Grandpa may not be here to welcome my first-born baby, the blessing I received as a child will accompany me throughout this joyful occasion.

Version Confusion in Adventure Journal
Love Adventure Journal theme – beautiful and fun! I am tinkering with two websites each using this theme and found that 1.7.2 got loaded on one and somehow (auto-upgrade?) 2.0 is loaded on the other. So far, so good – normal operation it seems.
However, there are things in the Theme Options of 1.7.2 that seem vastly improved over 2.0; for example, the ability to specify a custom CSS file exists in 1.7.2 but not 2.0; and multiple option sections exist in 1.7.2 and NOT in 2.0 (you can only change layout in 2.0).
So, I'm confused – did all these 1.7.2 options get removed for 2.0 or did I screw something up to make this happen? Can someone clarify what's up with this?

Located just miles from the glitz and glamour Los Angeles is Marina Del Rey, a coastal community that offers the best of both worlds: luxury apartment homes suitable for stars with a more laid-back lifestyle than downtown. Throughout the year, there are plenty of things to keep residents and tourists alike entertained. March, April and May are especially great months to get out and experience all the city has to offer, before the mercury starts to rise to sweltering levels. Here are a handful of things that you must do in Marina Del Rey this spring.
Go for an oceanside bike ride.
The South Bay Beach Path is probably the most well-known route in California. The portion that runs through Venice Beach is constantly littered people, however. Avoid the crowds and enjoy a quieter ride by starting at Fisherman's Village then turning off on the Ballona Creek Bike Path, where you'll be treated to views of the brilliant blue water in the creek, wildlife and the Santa Monica Mountains.
While you're out and about, grab a corndog for lunch. Locals love the fluffy batter and cool lemonade at Craig's Hot Dog on a Stick. While it's not the gourmet fare that you may be used to dining on at Fisherman's, it's still an epicurean experience not to be missed!
Get romantic on a gondola ride.
When life gets too hectic, slow things down with a gondola ride around the bay. Enjoy the spectacular scenery as your gondolier from Gondolas D'Amore steers you around the harbor on a 32-foot Italian gondola. Blankets and pillows are provided for your comfort, while candles and roses set the mood. Appetizers, chocolates and your favorite bottle of wine enhance the romance.
Enjoy dinner and a movie—at the same time.
Whether you can't wait to watch the latest installment of The Divergent Series on March 20 or you're looking forward to seeing George Clooney in Tomorrowland on May 22, you'll want to catch them at AMC's Dine-in Marina 6 Theater. The leather recliners in this theater feature buttons that allow you to order cocktails or meals without leaving your seat.
Go parasailing.
A breezy spring day in Los Angeles is the perfect time to experience the exhilaration of parasailing. Many people wrongly assume that parasailing is scary, but it's actually a very serene experience. Grab a couple of friends and cruise above the water on an 800 foot tow line. You'll see panoramic views of the area, and maybe even a dolphin or two.
Attend an outdoor concert.
Every weekend, free outdoor concerts are held in the plaza at Fisherman's Village. The schedule includes performances across a variety of musical genres, including Jazz, blues, country and Latin bands.

I'm currently fawning over Drawing Lessons From The Great Masters, especially the sections "Light and Planes" and "Mass". The idea of an artist throwing out the current lighting that he/she physically sees on the model and using their own light and shade based on knowledge of what they know with simple shapes, is totally awesome. There's a sense of control over drawing (instead of drawing controlling you)
I'd love to find a resource that shows shapes in different lighting scenarios for future study, yet have not been able to do so.
Any help on overcoming this hurdle?

NFL Draft 2012: 7 Top Prospects with the Most to Prove at NFL Scouting CombineFebruary 21, 2012
NFL Draft 2012: 7 Top Prospects with the Most to Prove at NFL Scouting Combine
The NFL scouting combine is where more than 300 prospects showcase their talents in front of the NFL's 32 teams, and there are a number of players that have more to prove than others when it's their turn on the track, the field and in the interview rooms.
Players that have "the most to prove" are usually players that have experienced on- and off-field character problems, a moderate to severe drop-off in production, or a part of their game that scouts can only pick up on in a one-on-one setting. The combine allows these prospects to showcase their athletic abilities in hopes that teams will draft them on pure potential, rather than the problems they may have experienced in the past.
All prospects have something to prove when they depart for Indianapolis for the annual scouting combine, but here are seven top prospects that have more food on their plates their others.
Vontaze Burfict, MLB, Arizona State
Vontaze Burfict fell down my prospect board as the 2011 season progressed, but this guy has a chance to be a late first-round pick with a solid outing at the combine.
Burfict is one of the best inside linebackers in this year's class because he has solid speed and lateral quickness that allows him to be in position to make tackles and play in zone coverage.
At the combine he will have to excel during the interview process to prove to NFL scouts that he can maintain a level head on and off the field and show that he can play with fundamentals instead of just pure instinct.
Draft prediction: 29th overall (Baltimore Ravens)
Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama
Much like Burfict, Janoris Jenkins is an exceptional athlete that will have to prove himself during the interview process.
Jenkins has had numerous run-ins with the law, and he even got thrown out of a game during the 2011-12 season for fighting.
Jenkins would be a top-10 pick if character issues were not a factor, and it is hard to believe he can say anything that can improve his image at this point. He will be a first-round pick despite all this, and he should land somewhere between picks 14 and 23.
Draft prediction: 14th overall (Dallas Cowboys)
Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
RGIII is a special talent that has the potential to become an elite dual-threat NFL quarterback.
Griffin surprised us all with his historic Heisman campaign in 2011, and it will be interesting to see which team pulls the trigger on the quarterback.
There is no questioning Griffin's athletic ability, but the true test will come during the interview process as teams check on Griffin's IQ for their specific offensive system.
Expect a franchise to trade up to the No. 2 slot as teams will want the quarterback based on potential alone.
Draft prediction: second overall (Washington Redskins; trade with St. Louis Rams)
Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina
There always seems to be one player that sparks a heck of a lot of controversy heading into the scouting combine, and this year's player is none other than South Carolina wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.
A number of reports have been circulating that Jeffery was overweight and out of shape, but Bleacher Report lead writer Matt Miller disapproved those statements with this article.
I agree with Miller's article, but there is still no denying the wide receiver will have the most pressure heading into the combine. The good news for Jeffery is that he will have the opportunity to shed the doubters with a solid 40-yard dash and shuttle time. Stil, a feat that is easier said than done.
Draft prediction: 33rd overall (St. Louis Rams)
Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
Justin Blackmon is the best wide receiver in this year's class, and it is hard to imagine him falling out of the top 10.
The only threat that could hinder Blackmon's top-10 status would be his 40 time, and I really don't find it to be much of an issue.
Some scouts, on the other hand, do take the 40 into deeper consideration, which means that Blackmon could fall with a bad time. The wide receiver has some of the best hands in football, and he showed the ability outwit defenders.
He plays much bigger than his 6'1", 207-pound frame would indicate, and he reminds me of Hakeem Nicks coming out of college.
Draft prediction: fourth overall (Cleveland Browns)
Chris Polk, RB, Washington
Chris Polk had a disappointing outing at the Senior Bowl, which means scouts will need to see an impressive athletic performance to warrant a high draft pick for the running back.
The three-cone, short shuttle and the other various agility drills will help scouts learn about his true natural speed and body flexibility to quickly hit the hole and change direction.
Polk is also injury prone, which could ultimately hurt his stock on draft day.
Draft prediction: 25th overall (Denver Broncos)
Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama
Dre Kirkpatrick has the size, speed and strength to compete with the NFL's top receivers, and he may be able to match up with the NFL's new hybrid tight ends after a year or two of grooming.
The interview process will be the most important aspect for Kirkpatrick at the NFL combine because of a recent arrest involving marijuana. The charges have since been dropped, but NFL teams will still wonder if Kirkpatrick is worth the risk.
Draft prediction: 17th overall (Cincinnati Bengals)

This Week's Weather: Still Wet ({{commentsTotal}})
A pattern of windy, rapidly-changing conditions has settled on our corner of the Baltic, ushering in more gusts, showers and general dampness for the week ahead.
Stormy skies are expected on Tuesday, when a new low-pressure zone is due to move in during the early hours, bringing with it rain and strong winds. The latter should gust up to 90 kph on the western islands and 70 kph in other coastal areas. Temperatures will remain much as they have been - 6 to 9 C during the day, dropping to 3 to 6 C at night.
Winds on Wednesday should be calmer and showers less frequent, but the weather will by no means be dry. Temperatures by day should be a repeat of Tuesday's, but overnight the mercury could dip to 0 C in places.
A small respite may come on Thursday when the air pressure should increase for a while. There will still be occasional showers. Winds should start to pick up once again during the day, with temperatures ranging from 5 to 8 C.
Overnight temperatures of 1 to 6 C combined with another wave of moist air might even trigger sleet on Friday, but otherwise we can just expect more rain. The good news is that current data show no signs of storm-like winds on the way. Daytime highs should range from 3 to 8 C.

Emma Samways is the Events Manager for Local World (a local media group) covering Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Dorset and is responsible for planning 33 awards dinners, fashion shows, large public outdoor events as well as a further 20 launches a year.
Production Values
Emma has also been responsible for the launch of entirely new events, such as the Gloucestershire Apprenticeship Awards in 2012, the Western Gazette Pride Awards in 2011 and the Bath Business Awards also in 2011, as well as around 10 others. Emma's input has been pivotal in setting the path that these events follow in successive years.
Overall Effectiveness
There was no event department or Event Manager before Emma's role was introduced and so she has put in place criteria, timelines, schedules and best practice. Everything Emma has learnt has been self-taught. She says that she has learnt from every mistake she has made and believes that has helped her to become the event manager she is today.

We want to go through both lists at the same time;
Recursive call?

There are two missing parts; what do we do with them?

These are easy. The challenge is putting the "left-over" elements onto the answer returned by the recursive call.

(Defun separate_elements(L)
(cond ( (null L) '( () () ) )
( t
) ))
(setf Ans (separate_elements (rest L)))
(cons (caar L) (car Ans))
(cons (cadar L) (cadr Ans))
But this isn't good; what if there already is a variable Ans defined by some other function? This will change its value.
(Defun separate_elements(L)
(cond ( (null L) '( () () ) )
( t (list (cons (caar L) (car (separate_elements (rest L))))
(cons (cadar L) (cadr (separate_elements (rest L))))
) ) ) ))
This is not efficient; we end up working out the answer for the recursive call (separate_elements (rest L)) two times.
List containing (variable-name value) pair
List of lists containing all such pairs (in this example there is only one such pair)We use a new construct Let to hold temporary variable values.
(Defun separate_elements(L)
(cond ( (null L) '( () () ) )
( t
) ))
( )
( )
(separate_elements (rest L))
(cons (caar L) (car Ans))
(cons (cadar L) (cadr Ans))
The "Temporary variable binding" that the let does will only hold within the "scope" of this let statement.
This is the best solution to cases where we want to make multiple changes to a recursively-obtained answer (as in separate_elements, where we want to add things to both lists in the answer at the same time).
A let statement starts with the word let
followed by a list of lists (pairs); each pair giving a variable name and its value.
After this list of pairs is the body of the let. The let statement evaluates to the last statement in the body. The variable/value bindings hold in this body and cease once it ends.
( let ( ( a (* 3 3) )
( b (* 4 4) ) )
(sqrt (+ a b)) )
In let you can't refer to other variables in a given variable's definition; you couldn't have (c (+ a b) ) as a pair.
In let you can't refer to other variables in a given variable's definition; you couldn't have (c (+ a b) ) as a pair.
If you want to do that, you need let*
( let* ( ( a (* 3 3) )
( b (* 4 4) )
( c (+ a b) ) )
(sqrt c) )
Let* evaluates the values of the variables in sequential order from the start to the end of the list. A variable can only refer to the value of an earlier variable in this list.

Book Dash Jozi, 27 June 2015
We teamed up with the lovely folk at African Storybook to bring Book Dash to Jozi on 27 June 2015. Teams worked together to create new children's books in just twelve hours.
Over forty professional writers, illustrators, and designers gathered, supported by a team of photographers, technical and art directors, storytellers, caterers, and logistics wizards. Everyone was a volunteer, and everything they created is their gift to the world.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page, and join our mailing list to hear about future events.
Huge thanks to the Goethe Institute for hosting us in their wonderful venue for our book-creation day.
