1 ICOM 4036 Programming Languages Preliminaries Dr. Amirhossein Chinaei Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering UPRM Spring 2010 Language Evaluation Criteria Readability: the ease with which programs can be read and understood (as maintenance became the major part of the life cycle) Writability: the ease with which a language can be used to create programs Reliability: conformance to specifications (i.e., performs to its specifications) Cost: the ultimate total cost ICOM Ch. 1. Some slides are adapted from the Sebesta s textbook ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 10 Evaluation Criteria: Readability Overall simplicity A manageable set of features and constructs Minimal feature multiplicity Minimal operator overloading Orthogonality Functional A relatively small set of primitive constructs Lang. can be combined in a relatively small number of ways Every possible combination is legal Too much orthogonality can also cause problems Data types & control statements Adequate predefined data types Syntax considerations Identifier forms: flexible composition Special words and methods of forming compound statements Form and meaning: self-descriptive constructs, meaningful keywords Evaluation Criteria: Writability Simplicity and orthogonality Few constructs, a small number of primitives, a small set of rules for combining them Support for abstraction The ability to define and use complex structures or operations in ways that allow details to be ignored Expressivity A set of relatively convenient ways of specifying operations Strength and number of operators and predefined functions Examples: i++; In Ada: and then ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 11 ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 12 1
2 Evaluation Criteria: Reliability Type checking Testing for type errors (as early as possible) Exception handling Intercept run-time errors and take corrective measures, and then continue E.g. in Ada, C++, Java, etc. Aliasing Presence of two or more distinct referencing methods for the same memory location Readability and writability A language that does not support natural ways of expressing an algorithm will require the use of unnatural approaches, and hence reduced reliability ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 13 Evaluation Criteria: Cost Training programmers to use the language A function of simplicity & orthogonality Writing programs A function of closeness to particular applications Compiling programs 1 st generation Ada Impediment Executing programs A function of language design A trade-off: Optimization A concern in the design of early PL s Language implementation system availability of free compilers; less expensive hardware Reliability poor reliability leads to high costs Maintaining programs A function of readability Programming Environment ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 14 Evaluation Criteria: Others Portability The ease with which programs can be moved from one implementation to another A function of degree of standardization Generality The applicability to a wide range of applications Well-definedness The completeness and precision of the language s official definition Influences on Language Design Computer Architecture Languages are developed around the prevalent computer architecture: the von Neumann architecture Programming Methodologies New software development methodologies (e.g., object-oriented software development) led to new programming paradigms and by extension, new programming languages ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 15 ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 16 2
3 The von Neumann Architecture Imperative Lang. & von Neumann Architecture Imperative languages: Iteration variables assignments Imperative languages, most dominant, because of von Neumann computers Data and programs stored in memory Memory is separate from CPU Instructions and data are piped from memory to CPU Basis for imperative languages Variables model memory cells Assignment statements model piping Iteration is efficient ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 17 ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 18 The von Neumann Architecture Fetch-execute-cycle (on a von Neumann architecture computer) initialize the program counter repeat forever fetch the instruction pointed by the counter increment the counter decode the instruction execute the instruction end repeat Programming Methodologies Influences 1950s and early 1960s: Simple applications; worry about machine efficiency Late 1960s: People efficiency became important; readability, better control structures structured programming top-down design and step-wise refinement Late 1970s: Process-oriented to data-oriented data abstraction Middle 1980s: Object-oriented programming Data abstraction + inheritance + polymorphism ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 19 ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 20 3
4 Language Categories Imperative Central features are variables, assignment statements, and iteration Include languages that support object-oriented programming Include scripting languages Include the visual languages Examples: C, Java, Perl, JavaScript, Visual BASIC.NET, C++ Functional Main means of making computations is by applying functions to given parameters Examples: LISP, Scheme Logic Rule-based (rules are specified in no particular order) Example: Prolog Markup/programming hybrid Markup languages extended to support some programming Examples: JSTL, XSLT Language Design Trade-Offs Reliability vs. cost of execution Example: Java demands all references to array elements be checked for proper indexing, which leads to increased execution costs Readability vs. writability Example: APL provides many powerful operators (and a large number of new symbols), allowing complex computations to be written in a compact program but at the cost of poor readability Simple examples: X X+6 X[ X4?100] Writability (flexibility) vs. reliability Example: C++ pointers are powerful and very flexible but are unreliable ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 21 ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 22 Implementation Methods Compilation Programs are translated into machine language Pure Interpretation Programs are interpreted by another program known as an interpreter Hybrid Implementation Systems A compromise between compilers and pure interpreters Layered View of Computer The operating system and language implementation are layered over machine interface of a computer ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 23 ICOM Ch
5 The Compilation Process Compilation Translate high-level program (source language) into machine code (machine language) Slow translation, fast execution Compilation process has several phases: lexical analysis: converts characters in the source program into lexical units e.g.: identifiers, keywords, operators, punctuation syntax analysis: transforms lexical units into parse trees which represent the syntactic structure of program Semantics analysis: generate intermediate code code generation: machine code is generated ICOM Ch ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 26 Additional Compilation Terminologies Load module (executable image): the user and system code together Linking and loading: the process of collecting system program units and linking them to a user program As well as linking other user programs to it Von Neumann Bottleneck Connection speed between a computer s memory and its processor determines the speed of a computer Program instructions often can be executed much faster than the speed of the connection; the connection speed thus results in a bottleneck Known as the von Neumann bottleneck; it is the primary limiting factor in the speed of computers ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 27 ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 28 5
7 Just-in-Time Implementation Systems Initially translate programs to an intermediate language Then compile the intermediate language of the subprograms into machine code when they are called Machine code version is kept for subsequent calls JIT systems are widely used for Java programs.net languages are implemented with a JIT system Preprocessors Preprocessor macros (instructions) are commonly used to specify that code from another file is to be included A preprocessor processes a program immediately before the program is compiled to expand embedded preprocessor macros A well-known example: C preprocessor expands #include, #define, and similar macros ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 33 ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 34 Programming Environments A collection of tools used in software development UNIX An older operating system and tool collection Nowadays often used through a GUI (e.g., CDE, KDE, or GNOME) that runs on top of UNIX Microsoft Visual Studio.NET A large, complex visual environment Used to build Web (and non-web) applications in any.net language NetBeans An integrated development environment (IDE) Similar to Visual Studio.NET, except for Web applications in Java, ICOM Ch. 1. Overview 35 Summary The study of programming languages is valuable for a number of reasons: Increase our capacity to use different constructs Enable us to choose languages more intelligently Makes learning new languages easier Most important criteria for evaluating programming languages include: Readability, writability, reliability, cost Major influences on language design have been machine architecture and software development methodologies The major methods of implementing programming languages are: compilation, pure interpretation, and hybrid implementation ICOM Ch. 1.

In 1922, the Susquehanna & New York (S&NY) constructed this building, smaller than the freight depot (20′ x 64′). This one-story building of steel lath covered with stucco has an asbestos roof. The station had 3 rooms: ticket office, freight room and a passenger waiting room. The building was "city steam heated and electric lighted." The Postal Telegraph Cable Co. also had an office in the new station. The main passenger depot for the rail lines was located in the northern part of Towanda Borough, just south of the present day Sylvania plant near the intersection of Hawes Street and Packer Avenue.
One cannot over-emphasize the importance of railroads to the continued development of Towanda as a commercial center beginning with the first Pennsylvania and New York (Pa & NY) train in September 1869. In the 1970s approximately 6 passenger, 4 freight and 9 coal trains arrived at and departed from Towanda each way daily. Train traffic persisted even on Sundays when their passing interfered with services at nearby churches.
The large red brick structure was built by (Pa & NY) in 1884 as a freight depot. Later it was used as a station by several rail lines including, Barclay, Lehigh Valley, State Line & Sullivan, Susquehanna & New York. The north side of the building housed the station agent, train dispatcher and Western Union operator. The freight room was in the rear of the building.

Geared up: Impact Without Injury
Traditionally, Basketball has been known to be one of the few sports that doesn't require much equipment; just a ball and some sneakers. As of recent, the sport has been able to market many different types of equipment, such as; the shooting sleeve, padded compression shirts and padded compression shorts. At first, I questioned whether any of these items are necessary. I came to the conclusion that, although it is not critically necessary, it does prevent certain injuries from occurring or lessen the severity of that injury. While serving as protective gear, the comfort ability factor is not to be questioned since the polyester spandex forms to the body while allowing sweat to wick away from the body.
McDavid, Underarmour, Adidas and Nike are all brand names that have created similar protective apparel. It actually doesn't make a difference what brand is worn because they all serve to protect the most susceptible areas by using a certain form of foam cells as padding to protect from injury.
Take for example, a "charliehorse", you know, that annoying pain in the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. This pain occurs as a result of a contusion, by an elbow, knee or hit against a hard surface. The majority of people who play basketball can testify to having received one at some point in there basketball career. Sometimes the bruising takes extensive time to heel, if the muscle tissue is deeply damaged. This all means that rest and massaging are the two most necessary things to do, in order for the healing progress to speed up.
Other areas of the body that are commonly injured when competing on the hardwood are the hips, ribs, tailbone and elbow. Have you ever lost control of your body after leaving your feet and landed on your hip or tailbone or elbow? Or have your ribs ever taken a blow by someone's elbow? If you have, there's no need to remind you of the pain, yet, what if there was padding under your shorts? Would the pain have been less? Would there have been any injury at all? Would it have affected recovery time? The most reasonable answer to all these questions is yes. The purpose of this information is not to advertise these products, rather it is to remind players that injuries will occur, but there are ways of preventing them or minimizing the damage that's done to muscle tissue. Using this gear is one of those ways.

The Problem
Paper-based customer enrollment processes are outdated and inefficient.
Most companies in the payments industry still use an outdated, cumbersome, paper-based application process. It tends to be very disjointed and does not provide a way for the partner or ISO to brand or control the experience.
Our Solution
The Base Commerce Online Merchant Application process comes in two versions. In the first, the partner has complete control of the user experience. The product provides the flexibility to build a customized form, ask questions in the order that makes the most sense, and then submit the data seamlessly through the Prebuilt SDK. In most cases, the application becomes part of the overall customer enrollment process. In that way, the merchant is signing up with the SaaS provider and applying for the merchant account in one streamlined process. This frictionless approach both increases adoption and decreases abandonment.
With the second version, the merchant application is started in the Partner Portal and shared via email with the merchant who completes it. The partner can then review the data, submit it to underwriting, and follow it through the underwriting process.
How We're Different
Our Online Merchant Application capability is unique in an industry still constrained by paper applications. Form development flexibility and easy access to underwriting process updates set our tool apart.
- Paperless
- Custom-branded form
- Real-time updates on application underwriting status
- Proprietary identity verification
- Faster turnaround times
Our developer-centric approach to building payments technology allows you to focus on your core product.
By leveraging our Prebuilt SDKs in your application you can quickly add payments functionality in a fraction of the time.Play in Our Sandbox

Tuesday roundup: Bezos in space, Medio's new hire, Zoo.com, etc.
John Cook
on November 14, 2006 at 10:29 AM
InfoSpace, which is
chopping staff
and repositioning the business, continues to look for new revenue streams. The latest offering from the Bellevue company is Zoo.com, a
search engine
that P-I reporter Dan Richman says is designed to keep sexually explicit content away from children.
Medio Systems — the Seattle
mobile search startup
backed by Mohr Davidow Ventures, Frazier Technology Ventures and others — has
hired Omar Tawakol
as chief advertising officer. He joins the startup from Revenue Science, a Bellevue company where he served as chief marketing officer. Interestingly, Revenue Science, which
raised $24 million
last December, also is backed by Mohr Davidow.
GalleryPlayer has
inked a deal
to have its digital artwork programs distributed through Comcast's video on demand service. The Seattle startup, which
I profiled
last year after it raised $4 million from Menlo Ventures, hopes to make money by offering advertisements before and after the art programs.
Blue Origin
— the Kent-based space startup of Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos — has launched its first test rocket from the Texas desert. Culberson County Judge John Conoly — who lives in nearby Van Horn and was unaware of the launch — described Blue Origin as
"highly secretive."
The Wall Street Journal has
a good read
on the secretive nature of Blue Origin's operations and land dealings in Texas, writing that Bezos "doesn't necessarily make the most neighborly of neighbors."
OnSiteDocs has launched a new medical house call program and changed its name to
. Founded in Seattle six years ago, the company raised
$6.25 million
from Benaroya Capital, Fluid Capital and Fluke Venture Partners in May. It is led by Ralph Derrickson, a former venture capitalist at Paul Allen's Vulcan Capital.

From James Foley to Steven Sotloff, the tragic killings of both journalists by the militant group that calls itself the Islamic State and might be more widely known as ISIS, is not only alarming as an aspiring journalist, but also as a Muslim.
As a Muslim, I take my religion seriously, and for an extremist group to taint the name of a beautiful religion for the sake of conveying a message is not only disturbing, but also hurtful.
The group claims to be justifying its atrocious acts of murder because it's outraged over U.S. airstrikes targeting ISIS in Iraq.
But one of the key concepts that ISIS is not grasping is that murder is not supported at all in Islam. Any murder is seen in Islam as killing the whole of humanity.
The group claims to be fighting in the name of Allah or God, but how can a group fight for the sake of God without understanding the teachings of its own religion?
Islam is a religion that not only stands on the concept of peace and justice, but also on the idea that every Muslim ought to live in a state of balance.
It seems so predictable, all these so-called "Islamic" terrorist groups who bolster their weapons and kill civilians for the sake of conveying a message, but what they forget is that as a Muslim, these actions are useless. What groups like these forget is that in order to truly claim to act in the name of a religion, one must first understand the teachings of the religion.
Through understanding the religion, what many of these groups will realize is that their actions are not only useless, but also tainting the image of the roughly 1.6 billion Muslims throughout the world.
Aside from the conflict and their attempts to defend their actions, what they do not realize is that they have become blinded in pursuit of their goals.
The solution does not lie in beheading the heads of innocent journalists or terrorizing the lives of innocent civilians in the name of religion.
Although the answers are not clear to the war and destruction that is currently taking place in the Middle East, groups such as ISIS have only become blinded and ignorant in attempts to finding a solution.
As an aspiring journalist, it truly hurts to see other journalists die for the sake of bringing awareness to the events that are taking place.
What these ignorant groups forget is that these journalists are there for a reason, which is to deliver the message of the unheard voices and to tell the stories that the rest of the world are not able to hear or see. It seems like these groups desire to come out with different methods and tactics to bring attention more than defending the religion they claim to represent.
What they are truly failing to realize in this whole ordeal is that they are only jeopardizing the name of Islam with their horrific acts of murder. With each murder or attempt to show what they are capable of, they are only destroying the name of Islam and worsening the lives of Muslims throughout the world.
As a student who is passionate about my religion, as well as the ability to speak out against injustice, their actions are only causing the image of Islam to be further correlated with negativity.
I am not speaking out against ISIS in hopes that it might receive my message, but rather to the couple of other readers who might read this article already holding a certain level of negativity about Islam in their minds.
From the comments about terrorism, Saudi Arabian or Muslim women, I have seen the responses articles such as this one typically attract.
ISIS in no way represents Islam, and just like every other terrorist group, they are just as blinded and filled with hatred as the person who dislikes another person based on his or her religion.
The horrifying acts of a few black sheep do not define the meaning of an entire religion. This line has been overused so many times, but the concept is absolutely true.
Islam is about peace and balance, not murder or killing. Remember, people become irrational and blinded — it is part of human error, but do not let the atrocious acts of a few define an entire religion.

Not only are we not really sure what "meme" means or where it began, but we're not sure how to pronounce it.
For instance, for me, it rhymes with "dream." My good friend Debbie of Like a Rose, however, pronounces it "mee-mee."
As I was talking about this, in mid-sentence, I had a revelation. Or maybe it was more like a memory.
Yes, blogging friends, I actually remembered something! Something useful!
Rewind to 1979. I'm a sophomore in Mrs. Jones's French class, where my French club name was "Lise." I'm sitting there with my winged hair plastered to the sides of my head, when out of the blue, Madame Jones tell us "meme" is the word for "same."
Now hurry up and fast forward to today.
Memes are conduits of sameness. That is, they're thematic in nature. We're answering the same questions that have no right or wrong answers! The same! La meme!
So maybe we should be saying, "mehm" because that's how you say it a la Frenchy.
After I totally discovered this on my own, I searched the Web, and yes, proved that I am right, even though I did not discover this on my own, per se. I just feel like I did, and that's pretty good.
At The Daily Meme I found these tidbits:
- A meme is: An idea that, like a gene, can replicate and evolve.
- A unit of cultural information that represents a basic idea that can be transferred from one individual to another, and subjected to mutation, crossover and adaptation.
- A cultural unit (an idea or value or pattern of behavior) that is passed from one generation to another by nongenetic means (as by imitation); "memes are the cultural counterpart of genes".
Well, I'm glad to know my kids can't be classified as memes.
Oh, Whatever. The Internets don't need to be all high and mighty book-smart about the definition of "meme. "
We're just bloggers asking pivotal questions like, "What is the one personal maintenance tool you would take to a desert island?"
Why do we do memes? I think CS Lewis informs us on this topic:
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
For very often, in silly memes, we find that we are at least nearly the same in thought as someone else; thus, we make emotional connections.
In these little exercises, then, we reveal an inherent, God-given need for relationship and community. Every day, in a million little and big ways, we reach out to reassure ourselves that while we are individuals with unique perspectives, we are not, thank heaven, alone.
Vive La Meme!

Colorado has five national monuments located throughout the state. Each monument is unique and provides a different view of historic Colorado
Dinosaur National Monument
This monument, located in Colorado and Utah, was designated as a national monument in 1915. It was discovered by paleontologist Earl Douglas on August 17, 1909. The 200,000 acre area was layered with prehistoric plant and animal fossils and contained 350 tons of fossils, including full skeletons and remains of some dinosaurs species that previously were unknown.
Colorado National Monument
The Colorado National Monument, located in Fruita, Colorado, covers about 20,000 acres. The sheer wall and deep canyons are considered one of the grand landscape of the American West.
Florissant Fossil Bed National Monument
Volcanic eruptions formed fossil beds when they sent lava and mud into the Florissant Basin millions of years ago. The monument is known for more than 80,000 identified animal and plant specimens and is located just west of Pikes Peak.
Hovenweep National Monument
Hovenweep National Monument was established in 1923 and is found in Colorado and Utah. Located on 784 acres, the monument includes six unique prehistoric villages that date back to the mid-thirteenth century.
Yucca House National Monument
This historic site is located in southwest Colorado and contains the unexcavated ruins of Ancestral Puebloan villages.

1) I want to thank everyone for their sweet comments on my last post.
I think it's hard to wrap your mind around the fact that you were just talking to someone, just saw that person, and then less than a week later he is gone. His sons and their families both just talked to him the day before he passed. So, Mom and I took some food down to my Sister and her family because they were having other family members stay with them all week. Mom and I split the shopping list. Alcohol was not on the list.
and tears....
Greg also liked to play shuffleboard, so they all took a turn.....
These were taken a couple of weeks or so ago.
What is it about these cutouts, when you see them, you just HAVE to have your picture taken in them!

Kew Gardens Cinemas is showing The Witness, a documentary analyzing the infamous 1964 murder of Kitty Genovese, which took place about 100 feet from where the theater now stands. The murder was major news not because of the victim or murderer, but a New York Times article, which reported that 38 witnesses saw the attack but did nothing to help Genovese.
The non-action from witnesses has led to countless sociological studies, discussion, and has been a subject on shows such as Perry Mason, Law & Order, and was even discussed on All In The Family. Genovese's brother, Bill, spent more than a decade researching the facts surrounding the night and has tried to separate truth from myth.
A 2004 article on the 40th anniversary of Kitty's death brought new details to light, and Bill wanted to know more about the real story.
"We get to learn about somebody who we only know for the last 32 minutes of her life, but the most important focus of reclaiming her is his whole family," director James Solomon told the audience after the opening night screening in Kew Gardens. "The story was so public and so horrific that not only did we go over 32 minutes but in Bill's own family and the next generation, that's how most of the family knew her."
It turns out that several people did call the police, and one friend actually left her apartment and was with Genovese when she died. It is also explained that because Genovese walked around a corner after the initial attack, if most neighbors went to look out their windows, they wouldn't have been able to see her. And the number of witnesses was an educated guess, but could have been more or less.
The events of Kitty's murder make up one part of the movie. Other facts in the film regarding her life have not been as well known. Genovese was actually married but Bill learned decades later that Kitty was gay with her roommate. In the movie, Bill wonders how well he could've known his sister if he didn't know something like that.
The most famous picture of Genovese, and the one that is used on the poster, is actually a mugshot taken in 1961.
A piece of string can still be seen on the left side of the cropped photo. Genovese, a bartender, had been arrested for running numbers.
Bill's fascinating story is one of the reasons the movie is so compelling. He was upset about the bystander apathy and several years later when his friends tried getting out of the service, Bill enlisted in the Marines. He would go to Vietnam, where he lost his legs in combat.
As Bill keeps digging, he finds news writers and broadcasters from the era, tries to contact the murderer and deals with his own siblings who don't understand his fixation on the subject.
By the time the movie ends, Bill has answers but told the Kew Gardens crowd that the story has not ended. "It's not really over," Bill said after the movie. "Kitty's always with me. In fact, my questioning nature and my tenacity is kind of the way she taught me. She kind of raised me."

Secret Sister Monthly Image Swap
OK, so a group of us on SCS are swapping images and then making cards from the this same image each month. This month's hostess with the mostess is Linda. She sent us "Waiting Tilda" to use ... a very cute image. I also used paper and other goodies sent to me from my Secret Sister (thanks, sis ... I loved the little berries and sentiment!) We have some seriously talented crafters in the group; check out the gallery of the cards on SCS!
For the most part, I like my card. In hindsight I wish I had embossed the pink rectangles BUT since I sewed them together ... I will live with it (seriously, it was bugging me so much that I almost took it apart to redo but then I forced myself to just get a grip!) The indentation on the rectangle is complements of my youngest who was coloring on top of it (eek!) Apparently he has a REALLY strong coloring style since it made a crease!
Supplies: stamps: Magnolia (I suspect that the sentiment and berries are as well, but I'm not entirely certain since they were part of a swap.)
Paper: Color: Stampin Up Melon Mambo, White: Neenah
Accessories: MS punch, copics, Crystal Effects (on Strawberries), Nesties, Sewing Machine.

This is so pretty Joanna! Love the berry accents, paper and sentiment. Looks wonderful. You made me laugh, I sometimes need to tell myself to "get a grip" too! I think it looks great just the way it is!ReplyDelete
This is really cute, Joanna! The berry paper and embellies are perfect!ReplyDelete
Hi Joanna, very beautiful. I like the strawberries and the matching sentiment. Great take with the image !!ReplyDelete
Your card is adorable! Love the colors and layout.ReplyDelete

Bees Enjoy Caffeine, Just Like Humans
A new study has found that bees, just like humans, may have a craving for caffeine. The study findings, however, shed light not only on bee behavior, but how plants may benefit and may help scientists better understand human memory as well.
Certain plants such as those from the Citrus and Coffea species (grapefruit, orange, lemon and coffee plants) contain caffeine, and the caffeine also laces the plant nectar. Scientists found that bees are more attracted to caffeine-laden nectar. Moreover, scientists found that the caffeine helped the bees remember where those flowers were located. The bees provided these plants with more regular pollination, a benefit which allows the plant to produce more fruits and seeds.
Scientists are studying the bees' improved long term memory as a result of the caffeine to shed light on human brain function. According to Dr. Julie Mustard, a contributor to the study from Arizona State University, "We can use the honeybee to investigate how caffeine affects our own brains and behaviors."
For the detailed story on bee's attraction to caffeine, please visit CBS News.
While bees have obvious benefits to our environment, they are also a concern when they build their hives on or near your home. If you accidentally disturb a hive and the bees swarm, the stings can be severe enough that you require hospitalization.

Louisville, KY – July 23, 2014
ZirMed®, a leading provider of clinical and business performance management technology, today announced five new strategic partnerships with JASE Health, HAS-Software, AmeriCare, medQ, Inc. and Scorpion Healthcare. The company is seeing increasing momentum, from both traditional and non-traditional partners, in response to its enterprise-level experience, innovative product development and market-leading patient financial responsibility solutions.
- JASE Health, a provider of technology consulting services, is helping ZirMed enhance integration for Cerner clients and providing referrals support at the enterprise level.
- HAS-Software, a provider of homecare accounting solutions, is bundling ZirMed's solutions within HAS-Software's clinical, financial and business intelligent solution to provide a more comprehensive offering to more than 300 clients in the homecare market.
- AmeriCare, a provider of home health consulting services, is partnering with ZirMed to offer its solutions to its clients in the DME, home health and hospice markets.
- medQ, Inc., a leading provider of radiology EHR workflow solutions, has integrated ZirMed's web-based Patient Estimation tool into its product to help imaging centers estimate a patient's upfront financial responsibility, in order to improve cash flow.
- Scorpion Healthcare, a website development, technology and marketing company for the healthcare industry, is partnering with ZirMed to offer its clients an online patient portal presence and patient estimation capabilities.
"ZirMed has always upheld a reputation as an industry pioneer, and we respect how the company continues to innovate in key areas of the revenue cycle and beyond," said Mike DelCollo, President, HAS-Software. "With a substantial shared customer base already in place, it seemed like a natural fit to team up with ZirMed so that all of our clients could benefit from an end-to-end revenue cycle management solution."
Through its partner program, ZirMed works closely with a network of 150 companies to offer integrated best-in-class solutions. Partner organizations may also leverage ZirMed's technology to enhance the consulting or technical services that they deliver to healthcare providers. Beyond these new partners, ZirMed is also seeing momentum in the growth of existing partnerships.
In 2013, ZirMed announced a partnership with EyeFormatics to integrate its core revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions within the EyeFormatics EMR system to enable eye care professionals to streamline claims submission and boost patient payments. As a result of the partnership, ZirMed and EyeFormatics now share ten clients, and EyeFormatics has hired additional employees to respond to recent growth.
"I believe this strong partnership momentum is a testament to our market-leading technology," said Tom Butts, ZirMed CEO. "We've spent several years differentiating ourselves from other revenue cycle companies by building out our enterprise and patient financial products, and our partners recognize and appreciate this. The combined solutions that we can offer with our partners add even greater value for healthcare organizations to help them respond to today's complex and ever-changing healthcare environment."
ZirMed leverages its national database of healthcare payment information to cure administrative burdens and increase financial performance. ZirMed's solutions aggregate and leverage data from across its national network of payers, providers and patients to facilitate, manage, and analyze clinical and financial communications among providers, payers, and patients and drive patient engagement. ZirMed solutions include clinical connectivity solutions, comprehensive analytics, population health management, eligibility verification, online payment, credit/debit card processing, claims management, coding compliancy and reimbursement management, electronic remittance advice, patient statements, patient estimation, patient e-commerce solutions and lockbox services.

I have just run through a test of one of the Bosses for the Super Space Trooper video game I am independently creating for the PlayStation Network and figured I would record and upload it to YouTube.
Many of the elements were removed for the test to be sure I wasn't giving anything away, but I am getting close to finishing up the Boss and wanted to share it with you all. Sorry for the poor picture quality and watermarks.
Please tell me what you think so far.

This is another submission of work i have done in my final year. This time the project is all my own work.
The project is a continuation based on work from before Christmas and is an experiment into state preserving particle systems. I started out with examining the basic particle systems such as a static system and one that updates on the CPU. I then moved onto more advanced systems such as the GPU based system described by Lance Latta and others. I soon discovered however that XNA doesn't support "uber buffers" and as such had to invent a new solution using vertex textures. The result is a particle system written in XNA that is able to update and render 1,000,000 particles at about 22 frames a second with 4 forces.

CodeDrop came about mainly by accident. I wanted to see if i could create a 2D particle explosion effect. After i discovered how easy this was to do i decided to create a whole game around it!
This is my first ever project i did in DirectX. It was created again for a university project at the start of the year in 2004. I had ambitious plans for a dynamic mesh manipulation application so the user could create their own personal avatar for a MMORPG.
This was a tech demo I created for one of my final projects in my second year of university. Due to the severe time restrictions at the end of the term i wasnt able to do the project i wanted to (ToyTown MMORPG) so insted of trying to struggle and force a large project into a small time frame i decided not to do a MMORPG.

Excerpt from Jivamukti Yoga: Practices for Liberating Body and Soul
By Sharon Gannon, David Life
"In a 1979 lecture, Ram Dass told a great story about not getting caught up in preferences, based on a teaching from the Third Chinese Patriarch:
The Great way is not difficult for those who have no preferences.
Just look at your life and think how many preferences you have. You prefer pleasure over Pain? Life over death? Friends over aloneness? Freedom over imprisonment? Love over hate? Where are your attachments? Where are your clingings? Are you stuck in polarities? That is what the Third Patriarch is asking. 'Make the slightest distinction, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart,' he says. Make the slightest distinction, and you've created hell. 'If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind.' Are you ready to live like that? Do you realize how spacious you have to be, to live by that kind of philosophy?
That's the fiercest kind of philosophy I know. But I like to have that kind of fierce friend to hang out with me, to keep reminding me how much I 'hold opinions.' This should be like this, and that should be like that, and I want everybody to be thus and so, and wouldn't it be better if…? Instead of just being spacious with it, we're full of opinions. Not to 'hold opinions' doesn't mean we don't have them – it means we are not attached to them. It doesn't mean we don't have preferences, it means we're not attached to our preferences. I can prefer blue over green, and decide that when there's a choice. I'll pick the blue over the green, but if I end up with green, ah, so.
'Ah, so' – remember the 'Ah, So' story? There was a monk who lived in the monastery up on the hill. The local girl down in the village got pregnant by the fisherman. She didn't want to cause problems for him in the village, so she said, 'It was the monk up in the monastery.' When the baby was born, the townspeople carried it up the hill to the monastery. They knocked on the gate, and the monk opened the door; they said to the monk, 'This is your baby – you raise it.' And the monk said, 'Ah, so.' And he took the baby, and he closed the gate. I mean, the guy's whole life changed just like that, in that moment, and his only reason is, 'Ah, so.'
Nine years later the girl was dying. She didn't want to die without admitting what had happened, so she said to the people, 'Look, I lied. It really wasn't the monk, it was the fisherman.'
The villagers were horrified! They went up to the monastery and they knocked on the door. The monk opened the gate, and there standing next to him was this nine-year-old child. The villagers said, 'We've made a terrible mistake. This isn't your child after all. We'll take him back down to the village to raise him, and you're free to go back to your monastic life.' And the monk said, 'Ah, so.' He was so much right here that whatever new change arose, 'Ah, so.'
If you practice yoga [or live life] for small, selfish reasons, you will remain the same, bound by your beliefs about what you can and cannot do. Let go and offer all your effort to limitless potential. Dedicate yourself to the happiness of all beings.
Keep your attentions fixed on seamless, economic breathing, integrated with movement. Keep your mind fixed on God. If you can do this during asana practice, you will create a vinyasa of happiness and contentment that will be unshakable in the face of life's ups and downs.
You might like forward bending and dislike backward bending, or vice versa. But when you choose to perform both with equal zest, you will attain some freedom from the tyranny of thoughts. When you can experience your likes and dislikes from an amicable distance and transcend their usual hold on you, Yoga is possible. Ah, so."
By Sharon Gannon, David Life. Pages 178-179.

Here is the day I show the finished Jelly Roll quilt! I really love this panto for jelly roll quilts. You can see another one I used this on here. This is a shot of the back. The quilting hardly shows in this picture.
I found enough leftover bits of binding so that I didn't have to make one! I love how it looks.
This will be a donation quilt. When I get 5 done, I will send them all off at the same time.

In short, do you drive while distracted?
If so, you can end up dead, as last night's episode of the ABC medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" shockingly showed, much to the horror, disappointment, and devastation of fans of the 10-year old show.
In the upsetting episode, actor Patrick Dempsey's beloved fictional neurosurgeon character—aka "McDreamy"—did something appallingly inappropriate and incongruous for a talented brain doctor on TV (or a real M.D., for that matter).
Dempsey's Dr. Derek Shepherd drove while distracted, which triggered his untimely death.
More specifically, after rescuing and helping four people from a massive car wreck that he witnessed, he leaned over to hunt for and then answer his ringing cell phone.
But in those few seconds, he didn't pay attention, a huge trucker sped towards him.
McDreamy's stupid split second decision to pick up his cell phone cost him his life. The four-wheeler came blazing out of nowhere and smashed into him, leading to his demise hours later.

My favorite track Bring Out The Devil In Me has a Lorde vibe, while Medusa sounds like she was hanging with Adele when she wrote Skyfall. While the EP is far from perfect, its moments of messiness makes it special. Hailing from North London, the singer songwriter cites Lady Gaga, Stevie Nicks, Kanye West and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers as influences. Check out her short documentary discussing the meaning behind the tracks.
