Abstract: In the paper two notions related to local (distributed) computations are identified and discussed. The first one is the notion of reducible graphs. A graph is reducible if it can be reduced to a singleton by successive removing its removable nodes; the removing procedure should be local in the sense that to decide whether a node is removable or not it is sufficient to inspect its neighborhood. The second is the notion of compositional systems, consisting of …a set of objects together with a composition operation which to each pair of local objects (like local votes, partial trees, partial orderings, local consensus, local processes etc.) assigns their possible compositions; a sequence of such composition operations leads to a global object (like a global vote, a full spanning tree, a total ordering, a global consensus, a synchronized process, etc). Combining these two notions gives rise to a generic distributed algorithm for composing different local objects assigned to nodes of a reducible graph into one global object assigned to all nodes. Correctness of the composing algorithm, i.e. its proper termination and its impartiality is proved. Show more

Abstract: The nets considered here are an extension of Petri nets in two aspects. In the semantic aspect, there is no one firing rule common to all transitions, but every transition is treated as an operator on data stored in its entry places and return results in its exit places. A state (marking) is a mapping of places (variables) into a given data structure, while interpretation is a mapping of transitions into a set of state transformers. Locality of …transition's activity is like in Petri nets. In the structural aspect, entry and exit places to a transition are ordered. A concatenation of such nets is defined, hence their calculus (a monoid). This allows for combining small nets into large ones, in particular designing a computation and control parts separately, then putting them together into one. Such extended nets may produce, in particular, other nets. A number of properties of the operation on nets and their decomposition are demonstrated. Show more

Abstract: It is shown that the boundedness problem for a certain class of basic object nets and a corresponding class of multiset rewriting systems is decidable. To achieve this result Dickson's Lemma for a certain class of multisets, and a modified Karp Miller algorithm, is applied. This presents another class of nets with different decidability behaviour for reachability and boundedness.

Abstract: We define Concurrent Turing Machines (CTMs) as Turing machines with Petri nets as finite control. This leads to machines with arbitrary many tape heads, thus subsuming any class of (constant) k-head Turing machines. Space, time, and head complexity classes are introduced and discussed showing the difference of various acceptance conditions that are defined for CTMs. Nevertheless, we show that CTMs can be simulated by TMs. Concurrent Turing machines correspond to a class of multiset …rewriting systems. The definition of a CTMs as a rewrite theory avoids the need for encoding multisets as words and using an equivalence relation on configurations. Multiset rewriting lends itself to be used in rewriting systems and tools like the rewriting engine Maude. For the rewriting system, a configuration is given by a varying sequence of strings and multisets. Show more

Abstract: In this article, we aim at extension of similarity-based approximation spaces to the case, where both similarity and dissimilarity of objects are taken into account. Apart from the wellknown notions of lower rough approximation, upper rough approximation, and variable-precision positive regions of concepts, adapted to our case, the notions of exterior, possibly negative region, and ignorance region of concepts are introduced and investigated.

Abstract: A formal model for description of passive and active timing attacks is presented, studied and compared with other security concepts. It is based on a timed process algebra and on a concept of observations which make only a part of system behaviour visible. From this partial information which contains also timing of actions an intruder tries to deduce some private system activities.

Abstract: In this paper we consider adaptive workflow nets, a class of nested nets that allows more comfort and expressive power for modeling adaptability and exception handling in workflow nets. We define two important behavioural properties of adaptive workflow nets: soundness and circumspectness. Soundness means that a proper final marking (state) can be reached from any marking which is reachable from the initial marking, and no garbage will be left. Circumspectness means that the upper layer is …always ready to handle any exception that can happen in a lower layer. We define a finite state abstraction for adaptive workflow nets and show that soundness and circumspectness can be verified on this abstraction. Show more

Abstract: In this paper we offer a novel methodology for verifying correctness of (timed) security protocols. The idea consists in computing the time of a correct execution of a session and finding out whether the Intruder can change it to shorter or longer by an active attack. Moreover, we generalize the correspondence property so that attacks can be also discovered when some time constraints are not satisfied. An implementation of our method is described. As case studies …we verify generalized (timed) authentication of KERBEROS, TMN, Neumann Stubblebine Protocol, Andrew Secure Protocol,Wide Mouthed Frog, and NSPK. Show more

Abstract: The paper presents a method of abstraction for timed systems. To extract an abstract model of a timed system we propose to use static analysis, namely a technique called path compression. The idea behind the path compression consists in identifying a path (or a set of paths) on which a process executes a sequence of transitions that do not influence a property being verified, and replacing this path with a single transition. The method is property …driven since it depends on a formula in question. The abstraction is exact with respect to all the properties expressible in the temporal logic CTL^*_{-X} . Show more

Abstract: Agent oriented software engineering is seen as the approach taking object oriented approaches one step ahead. The design of agent systems is based on three fundamental perspectives: the functional, the team-interactional and the organisational perspective. The organisational perspective becomes a central design issue if the number of agents is large or the environment is unstable. While the functional perspective is well founded in the planning theory of artificial intelligence and the interactional perspective is …rooted in the theory of speech-acts and formal ontologies, the organisational perspective is still an active research area with several open questions. In this paper we define a formal organisation model for agent systems based on Petri nets and show how agent oriented software engineering can benefit from this model. Show more

Abstract: In the paper triangular graphs are discussed. The class of triangular graphs is of special interest as unifying basic features of complete graphs and trees. The main issue addressed in the paper is to characterize class of triangular graphs (defined globally) by local means. Namely, it is proved that any triangular graph can be constructed from a singleton by successive extensions with nodes having complete neighborhoods. Next, the proved theoretical properties are applied for designing some …local algorithms for triangular graphs: for elections a leader and for constructing their spanning trees. The fairness of these algorithms is proved, which means that any node can be elected and any spanning tree can be constructed by execution of these algorithms. Show more

Abstract: The problem considered in this paper is the extension of an approximation space to include a nearness relation. Approximation spaces were introduced by Zdzis?aw Pawlak during the early 1980s as frameworks for classifying objects by means of attributes. Pawlak introduced approximations as a means of approximating one set of objects with another set of objects using an indiscernibility relation that is based on a comparison between the feature values of objects. Until now, the focus has …been on the overlap between sets. It is possible to introduce a nearness relation that can be used to determine the "nearness" of sets of objects that are possibly disjoint and, yet, qualitatively near to each other. Several members of a family of nearness relations are introduced in this article. The contribution of this article is the introduction of a nearness relation that makes it possible to extend Pawlak's model for an approximation space and to consider the extension of generalized approximations spaces.

Abstract: Two recent developments in the field of formal languages are Parsing Expression Grammar (PEG) and packrat parsing. The PEG formalism is similar to BNF, but defines syntax in terms of recognizing strings, rather than constructing them. It is, in fact, precise specification of a backtracking recursive-descent parser. Packrat parsing is a general method to handle backtracking in recursive-descent parsers. It ensures linear working time, at a huge memory cost. This paper reports an experiment that consisted …of defining the syntax of Java 1.5 in PEG formalism, and literally transcribing the PEG definitions into parsing procedures (accidentally, also in Java). The resulting primitive parser shows an acceptable behavior, indicating that packrat parsing might be an overkill for practical languages. The exercise with defining the Java syntax suggests thatmore work is needed on PEG as a language specification tool. Show more

Abstract: Approximate Petri nets (AP-nets) can be used for the knowledge representation and approximate reasoning. The AP-net model is defined on the basis of the rough set approach, fuzzy Petri nets and coloured Petri nets. One of the main advantages of AP-net model is a possibility to present the reachability set of a given AP-net by means of an occurrence graph. Such graphs can serve, among others, for analyzing and evaluating an approximate reasoning realized by using …AP-net model. The main contribution of the paper is to present the algorithms for construction and analysis of occurrence graphs for the AP-nets, especially in the context of searching for the best decision and finding the shortest distance in order to compute such decision. This approach can be applied to the design and analysis of the formal models for expert systems, control systems, communication systems, etc. Show more

Abstract: This paper provides new algorithms for computing consistent and partially consistent extensions of information systems. A maximal consistent extension of a given information system includes only objects corresponding to known attribute values which are consistent with all rules extracted from the original information system. A partially consistent extension of a given information system includes objects corresponding to known attribute values which are consistent to a certain degree with the knowledge represented by …rules extracted from the original information system. This degree can be between 0 and 1, 0 for the full inconsistency and 1 for the full consistency. The algorithms presented here do not involve computing any rules true in a given information system. This property differentiates them from methods presented in the earlier papers which concerned extensions of information systems. Show more

Abstract: The present paper investigates approximation spaces in the context of mathematical structures which axiomatise the notion of nearness. Starting with the framework of information quanta which distinguishes two levels of information structures, namely property systems (the first level) and information quantum relational systems (the second level), we shall introduce the notion of Pawlak property system. These systems correspond bijectively to finite approximation spaces, i.e. their respective information quantum relational systems. Then we …characterise Pawlak property systems in terms of symmetric topological spaces. In the second part of the paper, these systems are defined by means of topological structures based on the concept of nearness. We prove that the category of Pawlak property systems is isomorphic to the category of finite topological nearness spaces and provide its additional topological characterisation. Show more

Abstract: Reachability analysis for timed automata using SAT-based methods was considered in many papers, occurring to be a very efficient model checking technique. In this paper we show how to apply this method of verification to timed automata with discrete data, i.e., to standard timed automata augmented with integer variables. The theoretical description is supported by some preliminary experimental results.

Packed full of veggies and goodness, this spicy lentil soup is so easy to make, and full of deliciousness! Comforting and warm, this recipe is one of my favourites!
So confession time, I made this recipe ages ago and posted in on my old blog. Fast forward one year of blogging and I realised just how much my old photos sucked!
So I'm being honest here – I'm recreating some of my favourite recipes for you guys, complete with photography do overs and new content.
I just couldn't bring myself to post sub-standard recipes, so I've decided every week or second week, I am going to republish some of my old favourites and fix things up a little bit!
This post was originally going to be for chocolate chip cookies, for a more Valentine's Day feel, but I'm pretty sure I missed an ingredient when I wrote it down in my old recipe book, because they did not turn out how they were supposed to! So I'm awaiting an urgent reply from my dear Mum so help me solve the shitty cookies!

How to Make Spicy Lentil Soup
So back to this spicy lentil soup! This soup is a favourite of ours, one that I make a lot during the Winter time. I found in a really old CSIRO health cookbook way back, and have remodeled and adjusted it over the years.
I've made it for friends, family and usually for a quick, easy dinner – it never gets old.
This soup is packed full of veggies and protein from the lentils, and you can literally just leave it once it's simmering, stirring once in a while. Plenty of extra time for chilling on the couch watching Netflix, or in my case, blogging and baking bad cookies!
This spicy lentil soup is enough for 2 hungry people, or 2 regular people and whoever shot guns leftovers the next day! Serve with Greek yoghurt, crusty bread and butter and a sprinkle of coriander/cilantro! Perfection! This soup is also vegan if you skip out on the greek yogurt to serve too!
So Happy Valentine's Day friends, and no I won't be posting any Valentine's Day recipes, because I'm a Valentine's Day grinch! But, keep your eyes glued for a potential sneaky wedding photo! We are starting to get some back, and I am SO DARN EXCITED!! – Georgie x

If you're looking for a use for beets, this soup is a good option. Top with tahini drizzle and chopped nuts. Mmmmm.
Beet and Potato Soup [Vegan]
Cooking Time
For the Soup:
2 heaping cups chopped purple beets (~2 medium beets)
2 cups chopped red potatoes (2 medium potatoes)
1 red onion, small diced (1 heaping cup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar (separated)
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (plus extra if needed)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Optional additions: 1 cup cooked chickpeas and 1 cup baby spinach
For the Garnish:
1-2 teaspoons tahini per bowl
1 tablespoons chopped nuts per bowl
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the beets. Wash and scrub the potatoes but leave the peels on. Chop the beet and potato so they are roughly the same size. Spread the chopped beet and potato on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes until you can just pierce the beet with a fork. The larger you chop them the longer they will take in the oven.
- Meanwhile, sauté the onion in 3 tablespoons of water until the onion begins to soften. Add the salt and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar and continue to cook on low-medium heat for another 5 minutes, stirring often and adding water as is needed to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
- When the beet and potato are just about done, add the vegetable broth to the pot with the red onion and bring to a simmer. Once the beet and potato are done, transfer to a large blender and add the broth/red onion, 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar, lemon juice and dried thyme. Blend on high until smooth. Be careful not to overfill the blender, keep it at about 2/3 full. Blend the soup in batches if you must.
- Transfer the soup back to the pot. Serve as is or add 1 cup of chickpeas and a handful of baby spinach. Keep covered on low heat until the spinach is wilted. Re-season as desired. Serve with crusty bread and top each bowl with chopped nuts and 1-2 teaspoons of tahini.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on low heat and add more broth as needed to thin to consistency.

Cohort Coaching: Youth Ministry 101Transforming Faith Formation for Youth
Are you looking to transform your church's current youth ministry,
or perhaps launch a new one?
Are you convinced that your church could be doing a better job
of forming and nourishing the faith of its youth?
Join a monthly cohort for new youth ministry staff,
volunteers, or anyone who could use a refresher
in how to lead a vibrant youth ministry!
Why are we doing youth ministry in the first place?
Through this unique cohort experience, you'll develop a theology of transitioning from childhood to adulthood, consider the uniqueness of American adolescence, and explore the power of Christian community to shape faith. You will develop a vision for your ministry that reflects how faith is actually formed.
Youth ministries cannot thrive or form vibrant faith when the youth ministry doesn't match up with what the church leadership or parents have in mind. Learn how to ask the right questions and how to get everyone on the same page. Look at what we KNOW about how faith is formed, and reverse engineer the steps to get there.
Relationships are the centerpiece of any ministry. Learn what kind of relationships are transformative, how to build them, and what boundaries youth workers need to set to protect themselves, the ministry, and the teenagers.
Then focus on key organizational pieces, like communications, building a calendar, and keeping mission at the center- all the while developing young people's own sense of mission and ministry.
Cohort participants sign up for a 6-month program.
Are you Interested in becoming part of a Cohort?
To learn more, contact Michael Droege, Project Manager, at email@example.com
OR complete the Inquiry Form and Michael will contact you.
The Process:
Over the course of 6 months, you will develop a foundational framework and organizational tools for 21st Century Faith Forming systems with teenagers.
The Cohort model involves participating in one 60-minute online Zoom session per month, along with on-the-ground homework for 8 months. You will learn from and grow with other youth ministry leaders and our Vibrant Faith guide, Michael Droege.
Below is a preview of the monthly sessions:
Month 1: Purpose of Youth Ministry
Month 2: Relationships are Everything
Month 3: Creating a Vision for Youth Ministry
Month 4: Communication, Communication, Communication.
Month 5: Student Leadership Development
Month 6: Mission and Service

Bush-bashing professor has Fresno State scrambling to keep its donors
Randa Jarrar, an English professor at the school (also known as California State University at Fresno), sparked outrage Tuesday just hours after the former first lady died at age 92, writing a number of tweets attacking Bush and the family.
"Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal. F*** outta here with your nice words," the professor tweeted. "I'm happy the witch is dead. Can't wait for the rest of her family to fall to their demise
Guess the race?
And liberals wonder why half of the country hates them. If it's necessary to destroy this entire College to put this piece of shit out of a job, then so be it.

NOSTRADAMUS: The Man Behind the Prophecies
The 16th-century astrologer Michel de Nostredame, known as Nostradamus, has attracted mostly promoters or detractors. In this book, offered for the 500-year anniversary of his birth, Wilson intends to uncover the historical person rather than evaluate his success or failure as a prognosticator. Wilson (The Turin Shroud) coaxes details out of a handful of sources and sorts through the available bits of contradictory information about Nostradamus. The resulting work is thin, however, offering no great depth in recreating the era and missing an opportunity to examine the relation between early modern science and the occult. Wilson cheerfully admits he knew little about his subject before beginning this work. He criticizes earlier authors for not using an astrological chart made for the future Emperor Rudolf II or a prolific letter writer's archive but finds himself, through admitted language deficiencies or time constraints, also unable to use them. The book lingers on details only tangentially related to its subject, including extended sections on Rabelais and various royalty. Some parts read like a travelogue, describing the buildings and monuments of the towns where Nostradamus lived and traveled, letting potential visitors know what they'll find in the wax museum at Nostradamus's home. The greatest service this book offers is to insist on treating Nostradamus as a man rather than a mysterious presence. In the end, however, Wilson spends considerable space disproving particular predictions, and comments generally that "astrology is all quackery," but is not able to explain why Nostradamus nonetheless remains such a lasting influence. 80 b&w illus.

Learning basic chess rules will help you build a strong foundation in chess. Many students do not have clear picture on these rules at their beginning stages.
That is why I decided to help beginners with basic chess rules.
Chess teaches you administration and to extract work from your subordinates. It is a battle between two monarchs. The king manages the troops. He plans the operation and executes it.

Table of content
The rules of chess have evolved much over the centuries, from the early chess-like games played in India in the 6th century. For much of that time, the rules varied from area to area.
The modern rules first took form in Italy during the 13th century, giving more mobility to pieces that previously had more restricted movement (such as the queen and bishop).
Such modified rules entered into an accepted form during the late-15th or early 16th century.
The basic moves of the king, rook, and knight remain unchanged. Pawns originally did not have the option of moving two squares on their first move and when promoted by reaching the eighth rank, could become a queen only.
Chess is played on a square board divided into 64 squares (eight-by-eight) of alternating color.
No matter what the actual colors of the board, the lighter-colored squares are called "light" or "white" and the darker-colored squares are called "dark" or "black".
Sixteen White and sixteen Black pieces are placed on the board at the beginning of the game. The board is placed so that a white square is in each player's bottom-right corner.
Horizontal rows are called ranks and vertical rows are called files.
According to FIDE equipment standards, the length of side of a square should be twice the length of the diameter of the base of a pawn.
Black side
White side
A chess piece, or chessman, is any of the 32 movable objects deployed on a chessboard used to play the game of chess. In a standard game of chess, each of the two players begins a game with the following 16 pieces:
1 King
1 Queen
2 Rooks
2 Bishops
2 Knights
8 Pawns
This is the starting position of the game
At the beginning of the game, the pieces are arranged as shown in the diagram: for each side one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. The pieces are placed, one on a single square, as follows:
The rooks are placed on the outside corners, right and left edge.
The knights are placed immediately inside the rooks.
The bishops are placed immediately inside the knights.
The queen is placed on the central square of the same color of that of the player: White queen on the white square and Black queen on the black square.
The king takes the vacant spot next to the queen.
The pawns are placed one square in front of all of the other pieces.
You cannot place more than one piece on a square at any time.
The objective of each player is to put the opponent's king under attack in such a way that the opponent has no legal move. The player who achieves this goal is said to have checkmated the opponent's king and to have won the game.
Leaving one's king under attack, exposing one's king to attack and also 'capturing' the opponent's king is not allowed – the opponent whose king has been checkmated has lost the game. If the position is such that neither player can possibly achieve a checkmate, the game is drawn.
Although the king is the most important piece, it is usually the weakest piece in the game until a later phase, the endgame.
The game of chess is played between two opponents who move their pieces alternately on a square board called a chessboard.
The player with the White pieces commences the game. A player is said to 'have the move' when his opponent's move has been completed.
The object of the game is to trap the opponent's king so that its escape is not possible (checkmate). If a player's king is threatened with capture, it is said to be in check, and the player must remove the threat of capture on the next move. If this cannot be done, the king is said to be in checkmate.
Keeping a record of chess moves will be very useful in improving your standard of chess. It is mandatory in all recognized tournaments, in order to settle disputes about illegal positions, overstepping time control and making claims for a draw by the fifty-move rule or repetition of position.
Each square of the chessboard is identified with a unique pair comprising a letter and a number. The vertical files are labelled in small letters "a" to "h", from White's left to White's right. Similarly, the horizontal ranks are numbered from 1 to 8.
Each square of the board, then, is uniquely identified by its file and rank (letter and number). The White queen, for example, starts the game on the square d1 and the Black queen on d8.
The following are the letters used in capitals to represent various pieces.
King - K
Queen – Q
Rook – R
Bishop – B
Knight – N
Pawn - No symbol
A pawn does not have any specific symbol but is represented by the name of the square it occupies, i.e. it is not indicated by its first letter but recognized by the absence of such a letter. Example: the moves are written e5, d4, a5 – not pe5, pd4, pa5.
There are 64 squares on a chessboard – 32 White squares and 32 Black squares.
-> In the horizontal ranks, odd numbers are Black squares (1, 3, 5, 7)
-> In the horizontal ranks, even numbers are White squares (2, 4, 6, 8)
-> In the vertical files, odd letters are Black squares (a, c, e, g)
-> In the vertical files, even letters are White squares (b, d, f, h)
Hence, the rule for colour classification is:
i) Odd letter x odd number is a Black square – e.g. a1, c3
ii) Even letter x even number is a Black square – e.g. b2, d4
iii) Odd letter x even number is a White square – e.g. a2, c4
iv) Even letter x odd number is a White square – e.g. b1, d3
The king moves exactly one square horizontally, vertically or diagonally
The rook moves horizontally or vertically, through any number of unoccupied squares
A bishop moves any number of vacant squares in any diagonal direction.
The queen moves any number of vacant squares in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal direction. When making these moves, the bishop, rook or queen may not move over any intervening pieces.
A knight moves to the nearest square not on the same rank, file or diagonal. (This can be thought of as moving two squares horizontally then one square vertically, or moving one square horizontally then two squares vertically—i.e. in an "L" pattern.) The knight is not blocked by other pieces: it jumps to the new location.
Pawns have the most complex rules of movement:
A pawn moves straight forward one square, if that square is vacant. If it has not yet made its first move, a pawn also has the option of moving two squares straight forward, provided both squares are vacant. Pawns cannot move backwards.
en passant capture
A pawn attacking a square crossed by an opponent's pawn which has advanced two squares in one move from its original square may capture this opponent's pawn as though the latter had been moved only one square. This capture is only legal in the following move:
This advance is called an 'en passant 'capture.
There are two different ways of moving the king: by moving to any adjoining square not attacked by one or more of the opponent's pieces or by castling.
The latter is a move made by the king and either rook of the same colour along the player's first rank, counting as a single move of the king and executed as follows: the king is transferred from its original square two squares towards the rook on its original square, then that rook is transferred to the square the king has just crossed.
Note: For castling to be legal, the king or rook must not have been moved previously.

We discussed in chapter 8 how pawns have the most complex rules of movement. Pawns can't move backwards, they can only move forward and capture sideways. What happens when a pawn reaches the farthest possible square?
Whenever a pawn (black or white) reaches the last rank, it can promote into a queen, rook, bishop, or knight. We can see that for white the last rank is the 8th rank, and for black it is the 1st rank.
While this may not happen very often in the early stages in the game, in the later stages pawn promotions determine the outcomes of games.
What is a check? Check is a condition in chess when a player's king is under threat of capture. The player who is in check must remove their king out of check in their next move.
There are three ways to remove a check:
1. Capture the piece that is giving check.
In the given example, we can see Black's king is in check. Black's only way to get rid of this check is by capturing the bishop on h7. Because the bishop on h7 is not protected by any piece, this is a legal move.
2. Moving the king away from check
As we can see, the bishop is now protected by the knight. Black can't capture the bishop; however, black can move his king to the h8 square.
3. Blocking the piece giving check
It is also possible to stop a check without moving the king.
In this position, black could move his king to h8 and move away from the line of attack; furthermore, he can place a piece in bishop's diagonal to protect his king.
Now that we've discussed the three ways in which you can check your opponent, let's look at the following position:
Black is in check. What are all the possibles moves black can make to remove the threat of capture?
Think carefully and after you think all the possible moves, scroll at the end of the chapter to see the solution.
What happens when a player can't get out of check?
In other words, what if there is no legal move that allows a player to remove himself from check? When this happens, it is considered checkmate and the player who is checkmated loses the game.
This position is similar to the positions discussed earlier. The difference is that white can't capture the bishop or move himself out of bishop's line of attack.
This means black is checkmated and white wins the game.
Solution to the problem:
There are six ways in which black can get out of check.
There isn't always a winner and a loser in chess. There are several reasons why a chess of game may end in a draw:
1. Both players agree on a draw.
2. Both players have traded enough pieces so that it is impossible for either player to checkmate the other.
3. Either player can declare a draw if the same position is reached three times.
4. Either player can declare a draw if 50 chess moves (50 white and 50 black) have been made and not a single pawn move or a piece has been captured.
5. It is one's player turn to move, and while he is not in check, he does not have any legal moves. This is called stalemate
Let's look at a position to understand more what stalemate is.
We can see that white has no legal moves in this position. We can also see that black has cornered the king and has an extra queen.
If it was white to move, this position would be drawn, because white has no legal moves. If it was black to move, black could realize any move to avoid stalemate and checkmate white in the future.
Because every single piece in chess has unique movement, they possess different strengths and weaknesses. For this reason, it is important to know the "value" or "points" each piece has. While these points do not give you an absolute tool to evaluate every single position in chess, they help you understand which trades are beneficial and which trades you should avoid.
Let's look at the relative value of every single piece:
The pawn is worth 1 point
The bishop is worth 3 points
The knight is worth 3 points
The rook is worth 5 points
The queen is worth 9 points
Because whoever checkmates ("captures") the opponent's king immediately wins the game, it is said that the king has infinite value.
A game of chess is divided in three stages:
1. Opening
2. Middle game
3. Endgame
While not every single chess game goes through these three stages (some games might end in the opening or middle game), It is important to recognize at which stage of the game one is in while playing.
Chess is similar to war. You don't just jump right in battle. You first expand your territory (move chess pawns), then prepare your forces for battle (develop your pieces), and lastly start fighting. In chess, moving pawns not only helps you obtain space, but also frees up your pieces to move freely.
Three stages of chess
1. Opening
The opening stage is the first phase of the game. This is where both sides develop their forces and "prepare" themselves for the middle game.
In chess, developing a piece means to place a piece in a square where it is more active. At the start of a chess game, all the pieces are behind pawns and possess limited mobility. When we move, or develop, our pieces, we're improving their activity and preparing them for battle.
While there is no clear cut move that defines the end of the opening and the start of the middle game, it is usually considered middle game after both players have castled and developed their queens.
Here is an example of a game in its opening stage:
Nowadays, thanks to the analysis of computers and many strong players, there exist a vast amount of opening theory. In other words, after millions of chess games, players have realized which opening moves score better and which ones are less powerful.
At the highest level, players memorize hundreds of chess opening variations. This allows players to obtain the upper hand and make 10+ moves without much effort. Chess players have also given name to specific "openings" or sequence of moves. For example the diagram above is commonly referred to as the French Defense.
At this point, it is not important to memorize different chess openings, but it is important to recognize What a player must do in the opening stage.
In the Opening you should:
2. Middle game
After both sides have developed their forces, the middle game phase begins. This is where the central battle of the chess game happens. Both sides develop a plan and attempt to execute it. Many chess games are determined in the middle game.
We can see the diagram above that both sides have castled and developed their queens. Both sides should create a plan and do their best to execute it.
In the Middle game you should:
3. Endgame
Most chess games average around 40 moves, which means not all games reach the endgame. Throughout the course of the middle game, many pieces and pawns are exchanged.
We can define an endgame by the fact that the kings are very involved in the fight. Usually, we want to protect our king in the opening and middle game stage; however, because many pieces have been traded, the king is usually safe.
In the endgame, the king plays a crucial role in determining the outcome of a game.
In the Endgame game you should:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Rarely has a book met a reception like the one in store for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. When it was first published in 1997 it sold-out immediately, was reprinted and before anyone knew it contracts had been signed with publishers all across the world, including the Faroe Islands. Since then, the books about Harry Potter have topped sales charts around the globe. The first Harry Potter title was published in Faroese in 2000, Gunnar Hoydal wrote the translation. Since then Bókadeild Føroya Lærarafelags has published every installment in the series. The Faroese publication of the seventh and last tome in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was the first Nordic translation to reach bookshops.
The story about Harry Potter has truly captivated Faroese readers. No other children's book has sold as many copies in the Faroe Islands as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. And the reason is simple; the books are brilliantly written, thrilling, funny and full of unexpected turns that fascinate children and adults alike.

The 860 EVOs from samsung are good reliable SSDs, and if you grab one, the first thing you should do is to upgrade its firmware. But you can grab a crucial MX500 for less money and still have good reliability. They use NANDs made by micron that are very good!
If you need an SSD that will be used as a main drive with hundred of GB written every day, the 860 PRO should be a better choice for you because they have much higher endurance and warranty.

It only needs AHCI available and enabled, even works nicely on my C2D T6400, which offers AHCI and Trimcheck showed the file location is indeed trimmed after deletion.
I remember on an asus laptop (e2200) it didn't work, it kept defragmenting, don't have the laptop here but, i trust your experience
Always good to assure Trim is actually working.
My brother (& I) installed a Samsung 860 EVO SSD in his desktop PC.
Running the Samsung Magician he received - No compatibility issue, BUT it said the SSD was Not Supported.
After much research & jumping through many hoops...
He uninstalled his Acronis backup software (which was causing restart problems anyway) & the SSD was Supported by Magician as it should of been.
My brother is a bit of a backup fanatic & was impressed w/ how fast the Samsung Data Migration app. ran so he ordered 2 Samsung 250GB EVO's (& a USB 3.0 to SSD adapter) from B&H to do full system backups now to smaller but adequate SSDs.
Suggest your brother (and everyone) look at Macrium Reflect Free backup software. It's incredible.
The Samsung Magician also has some decent software too, you can get an option to set the over provisioning size yourself, Natively it's set for 10% but I set my 250gb drive for a little extra
Hello @M.J. - About three years ago, my brother bought a Samsung 850 EVO. He got the 500GB model and paid about $165 for it, so you'd be paying just $3 more for the 860 EVO and have double the capacity. An excellent deal in my opinion. Two things to keep in mind when setting it up are partition alignment and over provisioning.
Before I installed Linux Mint for my brother, I sent an email to Samsung's customer support department asking what erase block size is used on the 850 EVO. The reply I got was "we can't tell you because this is proprietary information". That was a little disappointing, since the the amount of partition offset that is needed for correct partition alignment is based on the block size. What I did find out via Google was that the erase block size of Samsung's TLC NAND is 1536KB, not the 512KB, 1024KB, or 2048KB used in MLC NAND. So to be safe, and based on that info, I ended up using 6MB of partition offset to the first partition, since 6MB is an even multiple of 512, 1024, 1536, and 2048KB. You're not going to be able to do that when installing Windows, since it automatically sets the partition offset at 1MB, so I suggest using a tool like Gparted to set this up correctly, then install Windows.
Years ago, I read a white paper published by Samsung, where they recommended using 7-10% of the drive's overall capacity for over provisioning. After you install Windows, it's just a matter of using Windows built in partitioning tool to shrink the Windows C:\ system partition accordingly, leaving the rest as unallocated disk space.
That Samsung 1T for $169 that's is a great price and they going to get cheaper by end of the year im going wait for Christmas and check it out newegg and see what price is.
I am using a Samsung Evo 850 250 GB for Linux and a Samsung Evo 860 1 TB for data. (Besides of those 2 an old 100 GB OCZ Vertex II).
Both Samsung run well even on old SATA II chip sets such as Intel X58. Default alignment.
AHCI would be no precondition for TRIM. If TRIM is supported depends on the controller FW and the OS. All those mentioned three SSDs support TRIM
Recently the SSD controllers do have their own proprietary routines to maintain their NANDs. (Garbage collect / wear control)
The meaning of TRIM isn't that important anymore. Also to align boundaries is of no advantage anymore at current SSDs. It's a controversial idea either way since erasable block size and page size haven't to be the same...
I would use standard alignment and NO offset. Recent controller's maintenance routines are made to work properly with standard alignment and do not expect user's own offsets to deal with...besides of that you'd have to know the exact proprietary specifications therefore.
Leaving back unallocated space (user over provisioning) is also not necessary since those SSDs do have own OP.
Years ago, things were different and do not apply anymore.
A SSD has become really carefree.
Plugin, partitioning, formatting and go....the evo 860 is a good one.
A couple of weeks ago the Samsung 860 EVO 500GB & 250GB were on sale at FRY's Electronics.
I did get 2 of the 500GB (I get 2 promo codes for these sales) to install in my family's laptops.
*the prices definitely are dropping as I paid $139.99 (USD) for a 850 EVO 500GB last February.
Here we've discussed about alignment already: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...stalling-linux-mint.64920/page-2#post-1139452
Since I could not spot an advantage I have left it at default offset.
And there are the 'unknown' proprietary specifications.
Evo 840, 850 and 860 are probably different. 840 seems to have the mentioned 1536KiB. I don't have any info about 850 and 860, though.
Maybe it also depends on total capacity of the particular model as well.
I've learned it that way: "Read and program are aligned at page sizes (8KiB), only erase at block size." 1536/8 results to an integer either way.
Once 192 of those 8KiB units (page size) have become unallocated in the file allocation table, the garbage collect operation can collect those, mark and erase them.
Erase is the operation that takes (took) the most time.
Since I got confused I have left anything at default. Maybe John has a direct comparison default offset to manual erasable block size alignment.
If it's right what I have learned alignment at erasable block size has no impact on READ and WRITE/program.
If...then only at ERASE operation. Since 192 is an integer it is doubtful, though.

Less than a week after we reported that Play Store reviews no longer require a Google+ account, it seems that Google has begun testing another change in the same arena - Top Features, a new element that aims to make determining what functionality an app has easier. In addition, the reviewing process has been tweaked. As of now, these changes do not appear to be rolling out to all devices; while I have the feature on my Nexus 6, it's nowhere to be seen on my HTC 10 that is running the same version of the Play Store.

Lots of fiddling with different placements and perspective. Nowhere near Richter yet. Choice of photograph wasn' t brilliant. Need to try using different sea images for sky.

text: The mobile two-way defender has been impressive this past season with Bern in the Swiss league. Josi has displayed solid overall mobility with average speed and solid balance. Josi has good on-ice vision and playmaking skills that compliment his ultra-safe mistake-free defensive game. He has a very impressive transition game and can also make a very solid first pass. He has a good work ethic and makes good quick decisions at both ends of the ice. Josi plays like Nicklas Lidstrom in that he does not expel a whole lot of extra effort while still playing effective in both zones. Josi has good overall instincts and as well as outstanding hockey sense. He plays a strong defensive position and uses his stick well in his own zone. (May 2008)

Day 8 (of 183) on video games
Tonight I jumped into a Twitter conversation when someone said they can't find value in video games when it comes to learning.
I can't help but disagree. "Back in the day" Pac Man taught me that just because you fail once, it's not the end of trying something different. And that 'game over' doesn't always mean 'over forever'. Other games like Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego helped reinforce a love of geography while Lemonade Stand taught me about economics and planning.
Tetris taught me to look for patterns (an invaluable skill as a principal) and ET taught me that even the best of intentions can lead to disappointment.
There are studies that are showing hat surgeons soldiers and others have benefitted from using video games – both because of some real-life applications (flying drones by remote, patience in manipulating micro-surgery tools) and due to the collaborative nature that many games 'encourage'. You won't get far into World of Warcraft without some allies!
As a teacher I loved using games like Fowl Words and Math Tic Tac Toe http://www.sor.sd83.bc.ca/web%20sites which are on my 'reinforce homework' page – sites that are connected to various learning outcomes but also enable differentiation better than any worksheet ever could!
I've even useda Wii to get a student population more active – I was surprised by how active their moms got when they stole the wifi to do some boxing with their morning coffees!
Currently I'm using a PS3 as a rocksmith station to learn guitar and as a bonus minecraft station – right now the iPad version is most popular – and if you're wondering about the value of minecraft, well Will Richardson has THE book for that: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00998J5YQ/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=B00998J5YQ&link_code=as3&tag=weblogged-20
Gamification (when done well) can be very powerful. My son can't do traditional band programs yet (anxiety) but he can do some neat work on GarageBand. The differentiation I can do as a teacher with games is much more personal than anything I received as a student….and I think that's my goal: to have the education program my kids are getting be more personalized and meaningful than mine was…and video games can help in so many areas beyond 'recreation'.

OAKMUN 2018 – A platform for young students to explore and develop leadership
It's never easy sitting in that conference hall, colliding into the heated debate among countless other delegations to propose solutions to the complex problems of our globe. Mastering the speeches to apply for the council debates are known to be the most essential weapons of the best delegate. OakMUN (Oakridge Model United Nations) is one such platform that prepares the young student delegates to develop confidence in leading others. Students here play the role of delegates from various countries and attempt to solve real-world issues with the policies and perspectives of their assigned country.
The Oakridge Model United Nations (OakMUN) 2018 program hosted more than 400 student delegates from across the city at its 8th annual MUN Conference, July 20th-22nd. Committee meetings were held at the Park Hyatt in Hyderabad. During committee sessions, participating student delegates assumed the roles of Ambassadors of different countries. They inquired about their selected country's politics, culture, history, and geography to learn the reasons behind their country's position on a global issue currently on the UN agenda. This three-day conference witnessed student delegates debating on some real issues confronting the UN and its member states seeking to generate a resolution to which they could all accept and acknowledge. Human Rights, World Peace, International Criminal Courts, Disarmament, and Security were some of the hot international topics that discussed. At OakMUN 2018, these delegates also had various sessions in respect of the ICC, participated in case study competitions and found amazing resolutions to the global issues. With a convincing tone, students truly epitomized the slogan "create, innovate, and debate".
The conference also had a speaker series, scheduled for the student delegates. Speakers from the IT industry, Business and Management took the stage to help students walk through their journey and understand the importance of hard work and dedication. The conference concluded with a grand award ceremony where best and outstanding delegates were awarded.
Oakridge, India's top International School initiated its MUN simulated program in 2011. With every passing year, it has established a strong MUN base for the students and has successfully developed their repertoire in debating skills. One after another program, OakMUN has proved to be one of the most successful and popular high school conferences after Harvard MUN in Hyderabad. Above all, this entire conference is driven by the Oakridgers itself. The program planned and designed, right from setting the agenda to raising funds, by students of Oakridge International School.

The largest ETF indexed to preferred shares that pays a yield of nearly 6% has recouped some of the steep losses it absorbed when interest rates shot higher.
The iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (NYSEArca: PFF) has climbed back above its 200-day simple moving average after briefly falling below this technical indicator for the first time since January 2012.
PFF holds $11.4 billion of assets and sports a 12-month yield of about 5.8%, according to manager BlackRock. The ETF is down nearly 3% for the trailing month despite the recent bounce. [Rising Rate Concerns Weigh on Preferred Stock ETFs]

Preferred shares are hybrid securities that combine features of equities and bonds. Like bonds, preferred shares are highly vulnerable to pressure from interest-rate shifts, reports Chris Dieterich for WSJ.com's MoneyBeat blog.

Do you ever wonder what makes skin look so rejuvenated and fresh, free of fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and clogged pores? The answer is simple. All you need is oxygen for hydrated skin that radiates beauty. How can you get this amazing skin without breaking the bank? Stone Haven Spa offers an affordable, non-invasive oxygen rejuvenate facial treatment that will leave you feeling refreshed and confident.
Oxygen Rejuvenate Facial: An Overview
Pressurized oxygen that delivers active ingredients, like vitamins and antioxidants, into the skin is the key component of this treatment. Those ingredients allow your skin to breathe and effectively open up your pores, meaning the necessary nutrients are able to seep under the epidermis to combat signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles, and acne-prone skin that could use a bit of hydration.
By giving your skin the oxygen it needs to flourish and stay healthy, you're going to see what a difference it can make to your appearance. The active ingredients that work to protect and repair the skin are also what make the oxygen rejuvenate facial so effective.
It's a Nice Alternative
When it comes to celebrity looks, I'm sure a lot of Hollywood stars have heard of the oxygen rejuvenate facial and have even gotten one to boost skin radiance. It's certainly a quick and easy way to look glowing on the red carpet or at a special event where the attention is all on you.
But there are a lot of people who have gone under the knife or gotten Botox injections to reduce signs of aging, which (as we've seen on TV) can leave you with a less than desirable appearance. That's why the oxygen rejuvenate facial is ideal for anyone who wants to plump up their skin and give it a burst of life without facing the after effects that surgical and medical procedures can have.
After your session, you'll see instant results and skin that is smooth and firm to the touch.
Where Can You Get Your Facial Done?
This particular treatment is great for clients who want to improve and brighten up their skin. If you're someone who fits the category, where should you go to get a facial for yourself? Stone Haven Spa has a great selection of beauty services, including the oxygen rejuvenate facial, and friendly consultants to help you look your best. Stop by today or visit our website to book an appointment. You won't regret how youthful and radiant your skin will look after just one session with us.
