The Renaissance of Craft Beers in the Merrimack Valley.
Craft beers have consistently held a respectable segment of the market share, but currently they are experiencing a renaissance of proportions unseen since the mid-90s "microbrewery boom." According to Paul Gatza, director of the Boulder, Colo.-based Brewers Association, the number of U.S. breweries has shot up in past years. The Merrimack Valley is a hotbed of activity in the resurgence.
Bob Johnson of Lowell's Navigation Brewing, partially attributes the growing number of small breweries to the popularity of the locavore movement, which places the utmost importance on food products being grown, raised and/or produced locally. "We're no longer considered just microbreweries, but rather local, artisan, farmer breweries," he says.
Steve Sanderson, head brewer and founder of Newburyport's RiverWalk Brewing Co., takes great pride in offering beer that is "extremely fresh and extremely local." Sanderson views the emergence of so many new breweries as auspicious, but he does see an eventual "tipping point."
"Although craft beer is not solely a commodity, and we're not all trying to do the same thing, there are a finite number of draft lines and shelf space that we'll end up competing over," he says. "Growth can't go on forever without consequence."
Do not mistake Sanderson's realism for some kind of dog-eat-dog market rivalry. In RiverWalk's early days, the business amicably shared a space with Cody Brewing Co. of Amesbury, exemplifying a symbiotic relationship that would be taboo in other commercial enterprises.
A participant on History channel's "History on Tap," a craft-brewing, reality television show that aired in December 2010, Sanderson has witnessed local breweries supporting one another on multiple occasions. "I can't tell you how many times we've run out of something and called around to find someone who could help us out in a pinch, and then [they] come through for us," he says.
Johnson, the recipient of a gold medal in the American Homebrewers Association's 1998 National Homebrew Competition, feels a rising tide lifts all boats. He and son-in-law/business partner P.J. Mercier believe that putting out a superb product and being "part of the neighborhood" will solve any competitive obstacles.
Newburyport residents Chris Webb and Bill Fisher, co-founders of Newburyport Brewing Company, believe there's a need for more great craft breweries in this country. "We're in the middle of a craft-brewing revolution," Webb says, "and America's innovating, big time. The better educated about great beer we can make the average consumer, the more we all benefit."
Webb's "the more, the merrier" philosophy stems from his belief that while the beer market used to be somewhat divided along class lines, these days a wider variety of consumers is now seeking high quality beer. "The blue collar and college-aged are vastly growing market segments for craft brewing," says Webb, who feels there will be more than enough demand to support a multitude of breweries.
Fisher and Webb also believe that locals will buy their respective region's products. Webb says, "People have roots that stir memories. Local pride makes communities and their businesses strong. Newburyport is a trademark unto itself, for example."
The partners have focused heavily on lifestyle branding to help boost NBPT's visibility among its peers. "Music is a major part of who we are," Webb says. "We sponsor bands and festivals, have local musicians play the tasting room and include a guitar pick in every six-pack. We also feature local artists' work on the walls of the public area. We're in the business of making people happy and having fun, with beer being the vehicle."
A relative newcomer on the scene is Lowell's Merrimack Ales. Founder Adam Pearson formed the LLC in January 2014 and spent over a year finding a location and sourcing the equipment. The 10 barrel brewery became operational this past Thanksgiving. All of the city permits were in place by September and Pearson brought head brewer Pat Auclair (formerly of Do Can Brewery) aboard.
The brewery specializes in a menu of beers based on a mix of English/American/Belgian styles. Having a background in engineering and running designed experiments, Pearson is meticulous about getting the recipes right. "Trial and error is a time tested way to tinker, but it's horrible for actually learning how to make things better or to get them right quickly," he says.
With disparate offerings such as maple cream porter, chocolate oatmeal stout, honey-tinged white ale, and dry-hopped rye IPA, there's something at Merrimack Ales to please just about every beer lover. Upcoming offerings include "Shock Value," an imperial Belgian IPA for which the recipe was guided using direct customer feedback, "Obligatory," a cascade-hop forward pale ale, and "Horrorshow," a citrusy American-style IPA, the name of which means "excellent" in the vernacular of the Anthony Burgess dystopian novel "A Clockwork Orange."
The present is propitious and the future is full of hope in the burgeoning Merrimack Valley craft-brewing crusade.

When Solidarity with South Sudan embarked on the education of teachers in this war-torn country 10 years ago, they decided to focus on training primary school teachers. "Let's get the basics right." The need was for 26,000 teachers; the need now is for even more qualified teachers. During the civil war of the past five and a half years, many schools have been destroyed, teachers have been killed, displaced or fled the country. Many had only four to eight years of education, themselves.
In spite of all the challenges, the Solidarity Teacher Training College has continued to educate and graduate nearly 400 new primary school teachers. These teachers are well qualified, and most are employed as educators. The graduates themselves are requesting that Solidarity increase the qualifications of those educated at the STTC.
Solidarity is entering into a joint pilot program with the Catholic University of South Sudan to send 20 students, 10 per year, to participate in a two-year program at the CU of SS which will result in a bachelor's degree for those who successfully complete the program. Solidarity has agreed to provide scholarships for 20 students, 10 per year, at the cost of $1,200 per student. As this is a two-year program, we are needing to raise $48,000 to support 20 students who will participate in the 2019-2021 program. Students are responsible for their own accommodations and other expenses.
Those of us who are educators and/or wish to leave a legacy of education are invited to join us by contributing to this initiative which, while it seems like a "drop in the bucket" when the need is so great, will build the capacity of the education community, one teacher at a time. What we do know is that these teachers will be the leaders of the future, precisely because we, you and I, have invested in their education. A wise investment, indeed!
Sister Joan Mumaw, IHM
President and Chief Administrative Officer

Airbus (Toulouse) today (December 22) delivered the first Airbus A350 to launch customer Qatar Airways (Doha). The pictured A350-941 A7-ALA (msn 006, ex F-WZFA) was handed over in a ceremony at Toulouse. Airbus issued this statement and photos:
Airbus has delivered the first A350 XWB, the world's latest generation widebody airliner, to launch customer Qatar Airways. The A350 XWB redefines the way people fly for the coming decades and opens up a new era in comfortable, efficient long-haul air travel when it enters service with Qatar Airways, renowned for leading the industry to new heights in service excellence.
The A350 XWB embodies the most advanced technologies and breakthrough innovations in aerodynamics, light-weight materials and aircraft systems. Powered by ultra-fuel-efficient and very quiet Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines and an extra-wide, bright and spacious cabin, the A350 XWB promises to be a firm favourite with travellers who will discover a whole new way of flying. Airlines will also benefit from unequalled levels of operating efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said, "Receiving the A350 XWB as global launch customer is a very proud moment for Qatar Airways, and after much anticipation, I am delighted that the day has come when we will welcome this latest generation aircraft into our rapidly expanding fleet.
"In the seven years since we first placed our order for this new aircraft type at the Paris Air Show, investing in a partnership programme with Airbus, there has been significant growth in the airline industry. I am confident that this increase in passenger numbers around the world will only increase further in the years to come, and delighted that Qatar Airways will be leading the way in the aviation sector in offering our passengers the opportunity to travel on board the most modern of airliners in the sky."
John Rishton, Rolls-Royce, Chief Executive Officer said: "We are very proud to have worked with Qatar Airways and Airbus on the A350 XWB, using the latest technology to deliver new standards in customer service. This is a very important day for everyone at Rolls-Royce. It is the culmination of years of hard work and the start of a new chapter for our business."
Fabrice Brégier, Airbus President and CEO said: "Handing over the first A350 XWB represents a significant step in Airbus and aviation history. The A350 XWB becomes the most modern aircraft in service, developed with our excellence established over 45 years in meeting our customers' needs. The A350 XWB is the latest Airbus aircraft to join the skies, revolutionising our industry and redefining the way people fly." He adds: "It is with tremendous pride that we are delivering our first A350 XWB today to our launch customer, Qatar Airways. It's a perfect match, to be handing over the first of an all-new, world class aircraft to a leading, world class airline."

Weekly Wrapup
Due to the KODA event, last weekend was crazy! We were there and helped five clients reserve units, and then mid-week helped a client buy a unit at Nexus. We tried to help a client at One88 but by the time our turn to buy a unit came up, the starting price was $1.8m (!!!).
The one offer we wrote on a resale, was on a condo at the Bolero listed at $495k, that received 5-6 offers and we heard likely went for $580k.
While we didn't write an offer on a Wedgwood home listed at $650k, we heard it received 18 offers, 4 of which were over $900k. That's absurd.
In other news, Seattle-area home market was nation's hottest for 2017 — and cheaper areas from Bellingham to Spokane weren't far behind. Will SODO provide housing relief? Likely not, The Sodo question: Debate continues over the neighborhood's future.

National Ocean Science Bowl Team to Go to Nationals
February 17, 2017
There's nothing more exciting than learning about ocean life, especially when five people who feel very strongly about it compete and end up winning first place.
Quiz Bowl teams specializing in marine science from South Carolina and Georgia came Feb. 4 in Savannah together to compete in the Southern Eastern Bowl, and Wando High School's team came out the victors. This regional bowl contained 13 teams from South Carolina and Georgia that were all part of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSP). By winning first place in the regionals, Wando's team gets to compete in the nationals in Oregon in April 20-23rd.
The National Ocean Sciences Bowl is a fun and intelligent way to test someone's knowledge on all they could know and that's exactly what Wando High School's team does best, according to Marine Science teacher Jessica Anderson.
Anderson coached her team — made up of team captain Joseph Hartnett, Reese Alspector, Ariel Lavender, — to the competitions after weeks of practice.
"We try and prep all the time the best we can and always make sure we are on the top of our game when we go to the competition," Anderson said.
The whole competition was set up as a real life Jeopardy game which made all the teams get more focused and make sure their game face is on.
One of the people on the team who felt just as prepared and focused as everyone else was the captain Joseph Hartnett.
"For the rounds they are set up with three different judges, a science judge, rules judge and a score/timekeeper judge," Hartnett said. "When trying to answer the questions, you must push a buzzer in time and if saying um or getting it wrong, points are lost," Hartnett said.
The competition consists of seven rounds of questions that involve marine science, physical and biology chemical, and social sciences.
The team meets every Thursday and discusses and go over marine science videos and take notes to prepare.
Even with all the studying and prepping the team does, Harnett is definitely proud and amazed by how far everyone has come.
Just like Harnett, Anderson was so proud of everyone and how much they put into all of it.
"They were a little nervous but when they got up and started answering questions, it definitely boosted their confidence and they ended up not losing any rounds," Anderson said.
Although the questions tend to get more and more challenging and intimidating, they ended up getting first place out of all the schools.
"For winning each kid gets a $100 gift card, a t shirt, duffle bag, medal and an all-expense paid to Oregon for our next competition," Anderson said. "It's such a huge relief that we won. It was a close score, but it's nice to see the kids get rewarded for their hard work because of how much time they put into it," Anderson said.
With the Nationals coming up all the students and Anderson know that the questions will be harder and more intimidating which made them realize they're going to have to work a lot more and make sure the kids are studying and working on their own time.
"The questions will be more harder and focus a lot more on the theme, which this year is Blue Energy," Anderson said.
The whole team is very excited and pleased with the progress they have made with making first place instead of second place again and everyone has worked so hard and showed real dedication to everything which has made Anderson and all the teammates ready for Nationals.

Woman launches Black Lives Matter Morristown
Like any young working parent, T'Anna Kimbrough was "tired and busy," as she puts it. The 26-year-old Morristown High School alumnae, a resident of the Cedar Knolls section of Hanover, is an assistant family service worker for the state Department of Children and Families, and mother of 9-month-old Sky Autumn Watson.
But on Thursday, when she woke to news that a black man, Philando Castile, had been fatally shot the night before by Minnesota police during a motor-vehicle stop, following the death of another black man, Alton Sterling, in a police shooting in Louisiana on July 5, she knew she had to act.
"I texted my high school friend Jerry Carter, and said, 'We have to do something.' " says Kimbrough. "I wanted to do it when things were still fired up."
PHOTOS: Black Lives Matter Morristown March
Carter, whose father, Jerry Carter Jr., is the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Morristown texted back, 'We do' ", she says.
So Kimbrough posted a Facebook message asking for help organizing a community response, and Black Lives Matter Morristown was born. On Saturday, more than 100 community leaders and concerned Morris residents of every race and age, escorted by Morristown police, marched from the police station to the courthouse and back, carrying signs and chanting "Black Lives Matter," "No Justice, No Peace," and "Protect and Serve All."
Participating speakers and community leaders included Carter Jr., Rev. David Smazik of the Presbyterian Church of Morristown, Rev. Jerry Carter Jr. of Calvary Baptist Church, Rev. Alison Miller of the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship, and Morristown Council member Hiliari Davis. Chants were led by Carol Ruiz and Brian Lozano of Wind of the Spirit, an immigrant resource center in Morristown.
Morristown Police Chief Peter Demnitz was also on hand, along with the half-dozen officers who escorted the marchers down South Street, which was closed to traffic.
Kimbrough is still marveling at how quickly the community came together.
"Word got out so fast and so much support came my way," she says. "It was just fabulous. Meaghan Wolf, a high school friend I haven't spoken to in years, sent me a message, 'What do you need? I have community contacts.' My uncle (Ronald Kimbrough) is a member of the Democratic Committee of Morristown, he helped. When I called the police to get permission for the march, they replied, 'Yeah, we already heard about it. It's fine. Let us know what we have to do.' "
Post-march, people are still reaching out, she says.
"Now everyone's asking, 'What's next? How can we be involved? What can we do?' " she says. "People were speechless about last week's activities. They were looking for something to do. This march gave them hope."
Kimbrough is asking anyone to who wants to get together to discuss next steps to contact her through the Black Lives Matter Morristown Facebook page or by emailing her at email@example.com.
"I'm not looking for this to be a one-time event," she says. "Now that I have people's attention, I am looking to make a difference in the community. I've talked about doing something like this but I was tired and busy. But I am no longer tired or busy. I believe it starts with one person and I'm ready."

Please Support Our Work in Conservation Of Wildlife And Protection Of The African Elephants
"The illegal ivory trade impacts everyone. I see first hand the terrible suffering inflicted on our elephants and we are counting the costs as Thuma's herds shrink at the hands of the ivory poachers. There's also increased human-wildlife conflict as a result, where elephants may try escape from the poachers and run into villages. Criminals with guns infiltrate communities. Tourism, which can have far reaching economic benefits, is affected. A few individuals benefit at the vast expense of others." (Lynn Clifford, Fieldmanager WAG Malawi)

Happy Holidays, y'all!
With Hanukkah having just started and other holidays just around the corner, I thought it appropriate to show my holiday spirit, Indoor Garden(er) style.
I bought trees, of course! Araucaria heterophylla, Norfolk Island Pine, from Garden District; and Pinus pinea, Italian Stone Pine, from a Safeway. The P. pinea came with decorations and sticky leaves, but I had to decorate the A. heterophylla myself. Its boughs are graced with the knitting of a friend from university. Every year, she makes mini-mittens for her family and close friends. I'm hoping for a sixth one this year. I started copying her, but I crochet mini-stockings as ornaments (so that the mini-people don't have warm hands and cold feet, you understand).
The random clear spirally thing and the spray of glassy glitterbeads come from an overly decorated tree at a restaurant last New Year's. My friend stole them off of the tree while we were waiting to be seated around 2 AM. If you stick the glassy glitterbead stick into the clear spirally thing, it looks like a carrot.
I'm not one, really, for celebrating the holidays as many do, especially through decorating. But when one runs across cheap little cute trees and one has such decorations, well, there's little choice but to buy those trees and decorate them.
We'll see if the P. pinea makes it through to 2010. The Internets doesn't give me hope. A. heterophylla is said to be more amenable to growing indoors, but we all know what happens to happy indoor plants over here...!

The EU needs the UN More than Ever
Europeans are usually supportive of the United Nations and its role in international crisis management, despite memories of the disasters in the Balkans and Rwanda. However, while European citizens approve of the UN in theory, they generally assume that the organization is not relevant to their own safety in practice.

Hi all, I've searched various FAQ's, perldocs and the archive of the list, but can't find any mention of this, so thought this list might be a good source of advice.
What's the best/recommended way for a script to detect when it's running under the debugger ? I know you shouldn't need to know, but sometimes you do need to - in this example I have a script that uses fork() on Win32 which the debugger doesn't seem to enjoy (given that fork() on Win32 is an emulated hack), so if I'm running in the debugger then it runs what would be the child process synchronously. So far I'm using # detect if we're running in the perl debugger - so far the test is a hack ! sub InDebugger { return exists($ENV{PERLDB_PIDS}); } which works, is cheap, and should be reasonably robust, but I was wondering if there was a better way, something more stable to look for - I could look for various namespaces existing but that seems a bit weak. Cheers -- Tim

The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it.
Flextron is a leading organisation involved in the manufacture of industrial gaskets, and we are now recognised in the market for the production of advanced custom gaskets.
Our gaskets are being used in well-known factories and sector of all types of manufactures. We also produce numerous other vehicle and industrial spare parts and press accessories.
What are the gaskets, though?
The gasket is a mechanical seal that covers the gap between two or more mating surfaces, usually to avoid leakage from or into the jointed parts when under compression.
Gaskets enable "less-than-perfect" mating surfaces on machine parts where defects can be filled. Gaskets are typically obtained by cutting from sheet materials.
Gaskets for special uses, like high-pressure steam systems, can contain asbestos.
Nevertheless, owing to health risks associated with exposure to asbestos, non-asbestos gasket products are used where possible.
Leakage from the flange joint can be catastrophic. Flange leakage results in substance and energy loss. No plant operator needs to spill poisonous or dangerous chemicals that could damage people and the environment.
The gasket could help to achieve secure sealing in order to avoid leakage from the flange joints.
The kind of gaskets to be used in the operation of the fluid depends on different parameters including
Elements for gaskets can be separated into three main categories:
It is generally beneficial that the gasket is constructed of a material that yields, to a degree, so that it is capable of deforming and securely filling the space with which it is intended, despite some minor irregularities. Any types of gaskets need a sealant to be added directly to the gasket surface in order to operate properly.
The appropriate choice of the gasket relies on the following considerations:
The measurements of the gasket are covered by the following criteria.

The Development Reader
Availability: Only 5 Left In-stock.
Domestic Shipping: $3.99
Internation Shipping (Except United states): $16
Shipping & Tax will be calculated at Checkout.
Estimated delivery time 7-14 days.
International delivery time 2 to 4 weeks.
The Development Reader brings together fifty-four key readings on development history, theory and policy: Adam Smith and Karl Marx meet, among others, Robert Wade, Amartya Sen and Jeffrey Sachs. It shows how debates around development have been structured by different readings of the roles played by markets, empire, nature and difference in the organization of world affairs. For example, present-day concerns about economic liberalization echo long-standing debates around free-trade, extended divisions of labour and national economic policy. Likewise, old debates about empire are re-appearing in critical perspectives on US policy in the Middle East. While there is little room today for old-fashioned environmental or cultural determinism, the attention now being given to climate change and a clash of civilisations shows that questions of nature and difference remain at the centre of development politics. Section and individual extract introductions guide students through the material and bind the readings into a coherent whole. Organized chronologically as well as thematically, it offers an intellectual history of the debates and political struggles that swirl around development.
By bringing together intellectual history and contemporary development issues in this way, The Development Reader breaks fresh ground. It will have broad appeal across the humanities and social sciences, and is essential reading for students of contemporary development issues, practitioners and campaigners.

They say the fastest way to someone's heart is through their stomach. Eating is about more than just sustenance; cooking is a way to show people you care. Meals shared with family and friends often become the most treasured memories. From late-night conversations over glasses of wine to perfecting masterful creations, the kitchen is a place of culture. Don't let those modern, fitted stoves and sinks fool you-this is a living, breathing room. With that in mind, we should be treating it as such. A kitchen should meet your needs as well as match your personality. What do you like to cook? Are you super into baking? Do you often have a lot of friends over? These are all questions to consider when making a decision to remodel your kitchen.
Why Should I Remodel My Kitchen?
Kitchens have had a long, intimate history with homes. Their structure and purpose have evolved with our lifestyles. If you look at the setup of homes over time, you will find that the kitchen was not always seen as a desirable hang-out spot. It was pushed to the farthest corners of the house, out of sight, and especially away from company. However, as the world became more modern and industrialized, we began to integrate the room into our personal lives. Nowadays, kitchens are a site for all kinds of moving parts, both figuratively and literally. Here is where the liveliest gatherings often occur. There is nothing comparable to the bond people can share over a meal, or the laugh shared over a drink. Not just a static space for cooking, the kitchen hosts a myriad of moods and events. Your kitchen should be able to keep up with your life. This can also mean accommodating a growing family. Some factors to consider in its functionality include storage structures and even safety. More people means more usage, more usage means opting for efficiency. On the other hand, if the kitchen in question doesn't need a space upgrade, you could opt for fancy gadgets and pieces that are more relevant to your culinary endeavors. Or both! Either way, your kitchen is an extension of your creative side. Let's help it thrive.
What Can a Kitchen Remodel Improve?
Modern kitchens have all kinds of clever design options you can choose from to both optimize and personalize your space. Cabinets and large countertops are not the only options you have for smart storage. Some ways to update your spatial capacity could include installing pull-out cabinets, rotating spice racks, or even refrigerators with shelves that fold out. Strategically placed racks and hooks can help organize your kitchenware, helping to prevent clutter. If your focus is on creating an Olympic-level chef's paradise, your remodeling project would probably revolve more around appliances that prepare food efficiently. If you're a master of the stove, consider installing a higher-grade vent hood system. If you are a budding chocolatier, you could invest in a tempered marble surface built right into your counter-top. It's not about creating the kitchen of your dreams; it's about creating a kitchen that will help you live them out.
We live in a culture of exponentially growing technology and access to information. Renovating a kitchen to fit your needs has never been more in your grasp. It is your art studio; your laboratory. It is the heart of the home, where kinship is born, bred, and fed. Whatever your intentions with food are, your kitchen is your best friend. It's entirely up to you to decide how to feed that friendship!

Formal verification of compilers
The Compcert verified compiler for the C language
Participants : Xavier Leroy, Sandrine Blazy [EPI Celtique] , Alexandre Pilkiewicz.
In the context of our work on compiler verification (see section 3.3.1 ), since 2005 we have been developing and formally verifying a moderately-optimizing compiler for a large subset of the C programming language, generating assembly code for the PowerPC, ARM, and x86 architectures [4] . This compiler comprises a back-end part, translating the Cminor intermediate language to assembly code, reusable for source languages other than C [3] , and a front-end translating the CompCert C subset of C to Cminor. The compiler is mostly written within the specification language of the Coq proof assistant, from which Coq's extraction facility generates executable Caml code. The compiler comes with a 50000-line, machine-checked Coq proof of semantic preservation establishing that the generated assembly code executes exactly as prescribed by the semantics of the source C program.
This year, we improved the Compcert C compiler in several ways:
The input language to the proved part of the compiler was extended to support side-effects within expressions. The formal semantics for this language is non-deterministic, as it accounts for the partially unspecified evaluation order of C expressions. The transformations that pull side effects out of expressions and materialize implicit casts, formerly performed by untrusted Caml code, are now fully proved in Coq.
A port targeting Intel/AMD x86 processors was added to the two existing ports for PowerPC and ARM. The new port generates 32-bit x86 code using SSE2 extensions for floating-point arithmetic. CompCert's compilation strategy is not a very good match for the x86 architecture, therefore the performance of the generated code is not as good as for the PowerPC port, but still usable. (About 75% of the performance of gcc -O1 for x86, compared with more than 90% for PowerPC.)
The operational semantics for accesses to volatile -qualified variables was revised to capture more precisely their intended behavior. In particular, volatile reads and writes from/to a volatile global variable are treated like input and output system calls, respectively, bypassing the memory model entirely.
The performance of the generated code was improved, in particular via a better treatment of spilled temporaries during register allocation.
Compilation times were reduced thanks to several algorithmic improvements in the optimization passes based on dataflow analysis.
Three versions of the CompCert development were publically released: versions 1.7 in March, 1.7.1 in April, and 1.8 in September.
Several of these improvements were prompted by the result of an experimental study of CompCert's usability conducted at Airbus by Ricardo Bedin França under the supervision of Denis Favre-Felix, Marc Pantel and Jean Souyris. Preliminary results are reported in an article to be presented at the 2011 workshop on Predictability and Performance in Embedded Systems [15] .
Verified compilation of C++
Participants : Tahina Ramananandro, Gabriel Dos Reis [Texas A&M University] , Xavier Leroy.
Object layout and management, including dynamic allocation, field resolution, method dispatch and type casts, is a critical part of the compilation and runtime systems of object-oriented languages such as Java or C++. Formal verification of this part needs relating an abstract formalization of object operations at the level of the source language semantics with a concrete representation of objects in the memory model provided by the target low-level language. As this work heavily uses pointer arithmetic, the proofs must be treated with specific methods.
This year, under Xavier Leroy's supervision and with precious C++ advice from Gabriel Dos Reis, Tahina Ramananandro tackled the issue of formally verifying object layout and management in multiple-inheritance languages, especially the C++ flavour featuring non-virtual and virtual inheritance (allowing repeated and shared base class subobjects), and also structure array fields. This is a step towards building a formally verified compiler from an object-oriented subset of C++ to RTL (a CFG-style intermediate language of the CompCert back-end). This formalization consists in proving, in Coq, the correctness of a family of object layout algorithms (including one popular algorithm inspired from the Common Vendor ABI for Itanium, which has since been reused and adapted by GNU GCC) with respect to the formal operational semantics of an object-oriented subset of C++ featuring static and dynamic casts, and field accesses. These results were accepted for publication at the forthcoming POPL 2011 symposium [24] .
Then, Tahina Ramananandro has been reusing and extending this work to formalize object construction and destruction, especially their impact on the behaviour of dynamic operations such as virtual function dispatch, and the consequences of such changes on a realistic compiler implementation based on virtual tables (again inspired from the aforementioned Common Vendor ABI for Itanium).
Optimizations in the CompCert C compiler
Participant : Alexandre Pilkiewicz.
Alexandre Pilkiewicz made some experiments on optimizations implementation in the CompCert C compiler. The first was a fully proved implementation of a mixed data-flow analyzer/code transformer in the style of Lerner, Grove and Chamber [43] and Hoopl [51] . Even if this allowed a combined implementation of constant propagation and common sub-expressions elimination, it was too limited to be of real interest since it only allows to replace one instruction by exactly one other instruction, and not to work at the level of basic blocks.
Another experiment was an implementation of the global value numbering algorithm by Gulwani and Necula [40] , but the proof is not finished yet.
Finally, Alexandre Pilkiewicz implemented a function inlining pass over the Cminor intermediate language of CompCert. Its correctness proof is a work in progress.
Validation of polyhedral optimizations
Participants : Alexandre Pilkiewicz, François Pottier.
Numerical codes make heavy use of nested loops. Those nests can be optimized for data locality (reducing the number of cache miss) or automatic parallelization. One of the ways to do that is to represent the loop nest as a multidimensional polyhedron, where the program is just a particular scheduling of a walk over the polyhedron. The optimization process can then be summarized as finding a better schedule that respect the initial constraints (for example, one cannot interchange the assignments t[0] = 1; and t[0] = 42; ).
Finding such a valid schedule relies on subtle heuristics and optimized C libraries for polyhedron manipulation. They are, therefore, prone to error. Alexandre Pilkiewicz, under François Pottier's supervision, works on developing and proving in Coq a validator of such optimizations. The idea is to check a posteriori and at each run of the optimizer that the produced program is equivalent to the original one. This work in progress is done in collaboration with Nicolas Magaud, Julien Narboux and Eric Violard of the INRIA Camus team.

Black-ish Is Coming Back For Season 6 On ABC
Just hours ago, ABC officially confirmed that the network's sitcom Black-ish had been renewed for Season 6. In addition, ABC has given an early series order to Mixed-Ish, a spin-off of the original series. The new series will explore "Rainbow Johnson's experience growing up in a mixed-race family in the '80s," according to ABC. No specific release date has been announced so far. Yet it's not a secret for any devoted fan that the 6th season premiere is likely slated for this fall.
It's 🔥🔥🔥for season 6! Get ready for more laughs with the Johnsons! #blackish pic.twitter.com/d8EB5H4dhm— black-ish (@blackishabc) May 2, 2019
Nothing is surprising in the decision of ABC to pick up Black-ish for another round if we take a look at the statistics of the current season of the show. Despite the fact that the viewing audience of Black-ish started to decrease, the figures are still solid. The season premiere has garnered 4.097 million viewers with a 1.04 key demo among adults (P18-49), loosing thereby 13% versus Season 4. However, such a drop in the viewership is not so sufficient, given the number of seasons of Black-ish.
However, also worth noting that Black-ish Season 5 has received mixed reviews. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the fifth installment of the show holds a score of 8/10 and a 80% approval rating among critics, while the viewers have rated the current round at only 3.3/5 with a 55% approval rating. On Metacritic, the current season has received a score of 77/100 from critics. Looks like the critics were more impressed with Black-ish Season 5.
It's worth mentioning that Black-ish has received a Peabody Award and several Emmy® and Golden Globe® nominations, including a Golden Globe win for Tracee Ellis Ross in 2017. As a result, we tend to believe that the show is capable of surviving in the ABC lineup within much more seasons.
Black-ish Season 6 Release Date
As mentioned above, no words have been said on the subject of a specific release date for Black-ish Season 6. Yet, if we take a look at the current schedule of the series, it would be easy to conclude that Black-ish Season 6 is set to premiere in September-October 2019. We don't think that ABC is going to shift the series in their lineup. Nonetheless, we are looking forward to the official confirmation of the data from ABC. As soon as the network publishes any details about the upcoming premiere, we will update this page. Stay tuned for updates.
Black-ish Summary
The story focuses on the Johnson family and their patriarch Andre "Dre" Johnson in particular. At first sight, Dre is a happy husband having a promising job and a father to his four kids. His home is big; his wife is beautiful, while his kids attend a prestigious school. However, as a black man, Dre starts to suppose that his family has already assimilated into an upper-middle-class neighborhood.
Dre's kids don't respect their roots and almost not aware of their past. Assisted by his father, Earl, Dre starts his first attempts to re-educate the members of his family intending to force them to honor their background. Dre believes that this knowledge would be useful to his children in the future.

I have just completed the questionnaire… with the result of a Mild Kinesthetic learning style. I responded that I was not sure that this is me. But I have suddenly realised that it is. I have previously explored this site and identified having almost equal VISUAL, KINESTHETIC & AURAL with a low read/write. This time KINESTHETIC was significantly higher (9), with Visual (6), Aural (5) & Read/Write (4). This is surprising as my Masters is in Professional Writing. I have always had an aptitude or personal strength in written and oral communication. Naturally I would have assumed that read/write is my learning style. However, on reflection I realise I have had a life history of 'trying new things' and having 'experiences'. This has been with employment, as well as in life. I have skied, rowed, played hockey, tried playing guitar, painted, drew, roller bladed, learning to sing – I have worked in business, been involved in film-making, retail, hospitality, worked in offices and engaged in physical labour. I only realise now that it is because I need to experience or 'do' in order to learn. And I take what I have learnt from each experience and apply it to other scenarios, whether this is in the workplace or in my leisure and social life. This is quite a revelation for me. Thanks for exploring this interesting aspect of human behavior and development. Additionally, I suspect the difference in the result is that I am no longer in a tertiary learning environment, which resources students through the Read/write, Visual and Aural to a greater degree than Kinesthetic methods. Evidence of the learning method I am most comfortable with is perhaps more apparent. (Although it was still strongly represented the first time I took the test.)

The bonus is a guarantee of that their membership fee ($37/month) will never increase. I believe this to be an extreme value and am offering it a a pre-launch promotion. Please read the details.
In a recent comment, Mike offered his best advice to Wayne who had described his experience with writing covered calls.
I read thru your covered call example and as I see it you never calculated what the cost basis was for your stock after you sold the call. This would have helped you determine what strike price you should choose for your next covered call if the first had expired. Always keep in mind where your profit and loss zones are each time you place a trade.
Once you stock dropped in price you continued to sell ITM calls (I assume to try to collect the most premium). A better strategy would have been to sell OTM calls knowing what your cost basis is for the underlying and allowing for the stock to recover. The premiums may be smaller but the risk of losing money would be less. You never know when or for what reason the market will change direction in either a positive or negative way. Bookkeeping to me is an important part of a winning strategy. I hope this helps.
I have learned a ton from Mark's books , blogs and questions he has answered for me. I just hope that I can pay it forward.
I understand the rationale behind your advice. In fact it's the advice that most traders believe is helpful, intelligent, and the 'best' path to follow.
This is one place where I part company with that majority.
1) "This "would have helped you determine what strike price you should choose for your next covered call."
This seems to be good advice. In fact, it's terrible advice and leads far too many traders down the path towards decreased earnings. More than that, when these traders earn less than anticipated, there is no logical way for them to discover the error of their ways – because it all seems so logical.
Wolfinger's Truth: or my trading philosophy
- Cost basis and other such data are for record keeping only. They must be IGNORED when trading
- Always choose the best available trade – at the time the trade decision is made
- Translation: Pretend you are opening a new position. Ignore the fact that it is rolling an existing position
- NOTHING ELSE matters. It there is no good call to write, then don't write one. Decide whether to sell or keep the stock
- This applies to all strategies, not only to covered call writing
2) "Always keep in mind where your profit and loss zones are each time you place a trade"
Wolfinger's Truth
- Only think about your profit and loss zones or break-even point when you write your trade plan and decide whether to enter into the trade
- Once you own the position your goal is to
- Forget the past
- Evaluate all positions as they exist today
- Manage risk based on the current situation
- Own a portfolio that meets your current portfolio requirements: future profit and loss potential, risk vs. reward, etc.
- Make money today, tomorrow and into the future
- It makes NO DIFFERENCE whether you earn $500 nursing a losing trade that gets you back to even or whether you earn $500 with a new, better (more likely to succeed) trade. It's the same $500
- Spending time and effort on a losing trade, trying to recover losses is inefficient
- Spending time and effort on a new position – one that you prefer to own (when compared with that losing trade) – is efficient and offers an improved chance of increasing the value of your account
- Increasing account value – without increasing risk – MUST be your goal
- Thinking about break-even points or maintaining profits from older positions – does not do anything of value for you – except that it allows you to believe you are more successful.
- Avoiding losses makes you feel good. That's a psychological boost
- Earning more money makes you feel good. It should make you feel even better and be an even larger psychological boost
- Mike, you can never tell anyone else what would be a better strategy for that person. All you can do is explain what works for you, why it works for you, and then allow the other trader to make his/her own decision
- 'Allowing' the stock to recover is the great bullish myth. Stocks do not always recover Or they take so long to recover that waiting for that to happen represents a huge opportunity cost elsewhere
- It is far better to earn $1,000 from a new position over the next six months, rather than carefully manage that old position and earn that same $1,000 over a three-year period. Traders who are so pleased with themselves for eliminating the loss from a given trade never recognize the opportunity cost
- Writing OTM calls is a more bullish than writing ITM calls, and it's nor right for you to tell anyone to be more bullish than he/she wants to be
- When you write OTM calls instead of ATM or ITM calls, the probability of losing money – during the lifetime of the call being written – INCREASES
- The Truth: It is not the matter of profit vs. loss that determines risk. It's the size of the profit and loss that is far more important. Writing OTM calls earns a profit less often than writing ITM calls. It also results in larger losses when the stock declines. True it can result i larger profits, but you were writing about less risk of losing money
3) "A better strategy would have been to sell OTM calls knowing what your cost basis is for the underlying and allowing for the stock to recover."
Wolfinger's Truth:
4) "but the risk of losing money would be less"
Wolfinger's Truth:
Mike: I'm glad you shared your thoughts. Traders have different approaches to trading and adopt different trading philosophies.I know what I preach is best for me and I'm anxious to share it. I know that it makes perfect sense to me. I offer it in this spirit: consider Wolfingr's Truth and decide whether it makes sense to you. This is the philosophy behind my teaching methods at Options for Rookies Premium.

Love through winter
Taylor Rossics
Those were the months that blurred. I know I'm supposed to talk about them, but it's impossible to talk about them in a concrete way because there is nothing connecting me to them, not really. The only way I am connected to those months is the fact that I was breathing during them. I cannot tell you much more about the five Januaries I had. I didn't sleep much and I wasn't awake just as often. I kissed empty girls and I hid beneath down blankets and I drank cheap vodka, but that's all. I can't tell you what ended the five Januaries beyond the girl who burned through me with her Roman candle voice. I ended up living with her in her ugly, terrible apartment in the city. Our bed was in the living room on the floor and I never slept better beside anyone but her. She was the messiest person I'd ever met and I loved her. Those were the months I saw more shooting stars than I thought possible, and when I was sure I was recovering. I tried to leave everything behind for her. I tried to stuff it beneath our couch, and into the back of the closet and into the love letters addressed to my dead self. It was messy. I don't think it would have made a difference if I'd been tidier about it. Time unpacks everyone's carefully packed drawers. The night I took my shit and left, I learned that my stars I'd been wishing on had been dying cigarettes tossed from the balcony of our upstairs neighbors when one nearly caught in my hair.
Taylor is a queer writer from Maine. She prefers to write about love gone sour and the discomfort of owning a body. Her poetry can be found such places as littledeathlit and Postscript Magazine among others. Her short fiction lives in Southchild Lit, Coffin Bell Journal, and upcoming in Wrongdoing Magazine, as well as many more.

No problem. Our plastic flamingos have adjustable legs, just the right size for a few croquet balls.
I'm guessing the "official" rules of croquet don't include flamingos.
We certainly did.
Too cute! Hope you had a great weekend!
As I recall, there are flamingos involved in Disney's Alice in Wonderland movie croquet game!!!
Our lawn flamingo has also had an Easter basket over his neck, a bundle tied in a baby blanket tied to him (neighbor's baby) and patriotic garland strung on him... Versatile right!?
LOL- My gosh-that is hysterical. We used to have a "thing" about flamingos in our family and were always "planting them" on each other's lawns to see how long it would be before they noticed they were there!;>)
We got our croquet set out today but didn't play...darn it- and I so love croquet-xo Diana
just like in alice in wonderland! what fun. I want to play too! I have a crochet set somewhere, weve never used it. maybe Torry pie would like to try it out this summer.
have a great day kim!
I love that and it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland when they use the flamingos to hit the balls!! I would love to be a guest at your home, your family always looks like that are having a wonderful time!
Use what you have on hand...very crafty. I would guess you had no problems asking Josie to play. We have played crochet for years. Very competitive household! Smiles...Renee
How very cute!
I love it. Use what you have. They should invent flamingo croquet-so much cuter than regular wickets!
How fun! The flamingos work perfectly! Wishing you a beautiful Monday! xo Heather
Lots of fun!
I think there might be an addendum to the rule books!
OMC (OH MY CROQUETTE) I totally want to play flamingo croquette.
What a really fun idea!
I love to play croquet! Flamingo wickets would add to the appeal!
How fun, Kim! Now that's ingenuity!
LOL!!! Fun solutions to the missing wickets problem.
I immediately thought of the scene from Alice in Wonderland! very cute - I wish we had a large lawn to play croquet. It's such a fun activity.
You are using the croquet set!!!! I am so jealous. Great idea to get double duty out of the pink girls.
I'm pretty sure flamingos are a MUST in Wonderland croquet!

THE INTERNAL Revenue Service may be the least-loved arm of the federal government. For tax-hating Republican lawmakers still angry over what they see as IRS malfeasance, the antipathy is especially strong. That explains why GOP lawmakers repeatedly have cut the agency's budget over the past several years, including a 3 percent reduction this year . But no matter how therapeutic it may feel to hack away at the IRS, it is deeply irrational.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said Thursday that the budget punishment has been so harsh that he may have to shut down the agency sometime this summer.
Mr. Koskinen's warning comes on the heels of an ominous report from National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson , who represents everyday Americans' concerns at the IRS. In her annual report to Congress, Ms. Olson described an impending customer service disaster as the agency struggles to do an ever more complex job with less and less money. About half of the 100 million or so people who will try to call the IRS this year probably won't get through. The agency reckons that even those who do will have to wait 30 minutes or more. Those who tough it out on hold won't be able to ask anything but basic questions because the agency has limited the topics its taxpayer support staff may answer. The agency will also reduce services at walk-in centers and stop helping elderly Americans fill out their tax forms.
"If these projections prove accurate, taxpayers in 2015 will receive the worst levels of service since the IRS implemented its current performance measures in 2001," Ms. Olson reported.
If the IRS were overfunded, some cutting back would be justified. But the agency has seen its inflation-adjusted budget reduced by about 17 percent since 2010, Ms. Olson calculated. For 2015, lawmakers tried to keep the taxpayer services budget stable, but they still ended up reducing its inflation-adjusted funding level by 3.8 percent. "The IRS can operate more effectively and efficiently in certain areas," Ms. Olson concluded. But "the only way the IRS can assist the tens of millions of taxpayers seeking to speak with an IRS employee is to have enough employees to answer their calls."
The consequences won't end with taxpayer frustration. Mr. Koskinen has estimated that eroding enforcement will result in the government losing $2 billion from its $346 million cut in IRS funding. IRS dysfunction will also make the implicit tax that Americans pay tax preparers every year even closer to mandatory.
This is, to use the technical term, nuts. Congress should restore IRS funding in the short term, then simplify the tax code in the long term so that it doesn't take a CPA to navigate the internal revenue system.
It is often said that government should protect people who follow the rules and pay their taxes. Instead, Congress has opted to help tax cheats and the tax preparation industry.

Jurors visited Phil Spector's California mansion today (Aug. 9) to get a firsthand look at the place where actress Lana Clarkson died four years ago.
Jurors, lawyers and Spector himself arrived at the home, 15 miles northeast of Los Angeles, in several vans shortly before 10:30 a.m. They stopped at the home's parking area before going inside to the foyer where Clarkson's body was found, slumped down in a chair, with a gunshot wound through her mouth.
The parking area is where a chauffeur who took Spector and Clarkson to the home has testified he was waiting in his car when he heard a gunshot from inside the house. He said Spector came out and told him, "I think I killed somebody."
Defense attorneys have contended that the noise from a large fountain, which was running today, may have caused the chauffeur to misunderstand Spector.
Spector is accused of murdering Clarkson four years ago after she went home with him for a drink. The question of where Spector was standing when she was shot and how far blood can travel have been key issues in the case.
Prosecutors contend that blood spatter on Spector's jacket got there when he shot Clarkson. The defense says Clarkson shot herself and the spatter could have hit him when he stood as far as six feet away.
Later in the day, jurors were expected to return to the courtroom to hear testimony from a fifth woman who claims Spector threatened her with a gun. Devra Robitaille's testimony follows accounts from four other women who each said earlier in the trial that Spector had threatened them.
The prosecution has made the women's testimony the cornerstone of its case against Spector, claiming he showed a pattern of taking women home with him, holding them at gunpoint and refusing to allow them to leave. They say the pattern was repeated with deadly results when Clarkson was shot Feb. 3, 2003.
Defense attorney Bradley Brunon argued against the additional witness, saying that prosecutors deliberately held back Robitaille's testimony until near the end of the trial to give it added impact.
Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler said allowing Robitaille to testify would indicate that "other witnesses are telling the truth and there is strength in numbers."
