I don’t even know if my brain can comprehend how much I’ll miss my childhood and adulthood idol, Derek Jeter. All I know is that I feel lucky to have been around to see him. Here’s a few shots of his gear through the years so I don’t just sit here and cry all night.
A good look at Jeter’s career-long companion, the Louisville Slugger P72 Ash bat, which he used to rack up 5 runs in his first World Series victory vs Atlanta in ’96. The 22 year old Rookie of the Year hit .361 in the postseason, the Yankees first championship run since 1978.
In ’97, Fila of all companies signed Jeter and outfitted him with some of the ugliest cleats ever made. Jeter managed to steal 23 bags with ’em, anyways. Notice the Franklin Pro Classics, too.
The 90s were the first of three decades that Jeter has crushed life in. His chances of destroying future decades are still very high.
1998, at his first ASG. MVP OF THE GREATEST TEAM EVER. 125 wins and 50 losses. Finished 3rd in the season MVP voting behind Juan Gonzalez and Nomar Garciaparra. Juan Gonzalez hit 45 bombs and drove in 157 runs. He was the size of a horse. Nomar, at 24, hit 35 bombs, and drove in 122 (in 143 games). He never hit more than 28 homers in a season again.
Some time in August of that season, Jeter steps out of Fila (and the shoes immediately shrivel up and die like in The Wizard of Oz) and into a pair of Nikes. Earth resumes spinning on its axis.
It would be cool if someone could ID those.
As Michael Jordan says goodbye to the Bulls, he handpicks Jeter to be Jumpman’s torchbearer. Jeter wears it well, including these first-ever Jordan baseball cleats not worn by Jordan himself, Jeter’s custom Jordan XIVs.
He switched out the Rawlings wristband, and you can also see him rocking a simple Benik wrist guard. Also switched out the Gargoyle F-8 flip-ups, Ken Griffey Jr.’s signature shades that came out in 1997 (thanks Brent for finding those) for Oakleys. Walt Frazier would say that Derek Jeter, by 1999, is officially stylin’ and profilin’. A third ring, for the pinky, while the Yankees finished the season on a 12 game World Series winning streak.
In the year 2000, he poured a drink on his boss.
Couldn’t help myself on this one. Jeter holding some kind of primitive telescope or something in his fourth ticker tape parade.
In 2001, Jeter earns one of his many nicknames, Mr. November, with a walk-off HR off Byung Hyun Kim to tie the World Series at 2 games a piece. He did it in these Jordans with his “Turn 2” Foundation embroidered on the heels.
Between 2002 and 2005, Jeter won 3 consecutive Gold Gloves with a Rawlings Heart of the Hide PRODJ2. Major League coaches voted on it. They watch all the games. But he was a terrible fielder, though, because you know, WAR and stuff.
A freshhhh pair of Jordan BGs from his 2006 season, in which Jeter finished second in the MVP vote, behind a big season from Justin Morneau. Morneau’s teammate from the Twins took the batting title, beating Jeter out .347 to .343.
These are Jeter’s 2009 Jordans. He broke Lou Gehrig’s All-Time Yankee hit record with his 2,722nd hit in these, then topped off his World Series resume with a .407 batting average, and a fist-full of rings.
For his 3000th hit game he wore these special Jeter Cut DJ3K cleats. In that game he hit a game tying home run off David Price for 3000 and finished the game 5 for 5, with the game-winning RBI.
He also wore these Jordan Team BGs, some of my favorites ever.
For tonight’s walk-off in his final home game, Jeter wore these gorgeous Jordan Jeter Lux cleats. To see Jeter’s current (and final) profile, check it out here. Thank you, Derek. If there was one guy that I wish could play forever, it would be you.
Flip up sunglasses are Gargoyle Gamers.
It’s really bugging me because I recognize those cleats. I had a pair in red. They are probably a zoom air version. Just can’t remember the name.
Found them. They look like the Nike Prime 9 cleats, circa 2000ish.
Those cleats are the Nike Prime 9’s.

WASHINGTON: The move to rescind work authorisation to certain categories of H-4 visa holders is in final stages, the Trump administration has told a US court.
H-4 visas are issued to the spouses of H-1B visa holders, a significantly large number of whom are high-skilled professionals from India. The Trump administration is planning to end the Obama-era rule + allowing spouses of H1-B visa holders to work legally in the US, a move that could have a devastating impact on more than 70,000 H-4 visa holders who have work permits.
The proposed rule is currently in final clearance, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told a federal court in a status update.

Legal translation requires the translator to have a certain understanding of the legal provisions and clear logical thinking, and legal translation skills are also indispensable. Next, accompany the translation company to tell you what skills legal translation has?
Under normal circumstances, when translating the original text into a translation, the translator can accurately and authentically translate the original text into a translation only according to the dictionary meanings of the words in the original text.
The word order of the translated text is not entirely the same as that of the original text. Therefore, when translating the original text into the translated text, some word order must be adjusted so as to make the translated text conform to the Convention of the translated language. When adjusting word order, sometimes the words expressed after the original text must be put in front of the translation, and sometimes the words expressed before the original text must be put behind the translation.
Chinese and Westerners think differently, so they may use different words or phrases when expressing the same thing or concept. Therefore, when translating Chinese into English or English into Chinese, it is possible to add some words in order to conform to the expression habits of Chinese.
People in China and the West have different ways of thinking, and they use different words to express their agreement with things or concepts. So, like the technique of adding words, sometimes it is necessary to subtract words when translating legal language. There are many ways to subtract words. We can omit prepositions, verbs and even a clause.
In legal translation, the translation of object clauses is relatively simple. Generally speaking, translations can be done in the order of the original text. But sometimes it is necessary to separate the subject predicate from the clause according to the meaning of the context.
English attributive clause is a difficult point in translation. English attributive clauses are also a difficult point in legal translation. Generally speaking, there are two ways to deal with attributive clauses: the first way is to put the attributive clause in front of the modifier after it has been translated, which is the most common way.
Because the logic of legal language is very strong, the author usually expresses obvious logical relationship when writing legal language. The adverbial clause is the most common expression of logical relations. Adverbial clauses in English generally include conditional adverbial clauses, transitional adverbial clauses, time adverbial clauses, causal adverbial clauses and so on.

In sales merchandising, the term “point of sale” (POS) refers the place where the sales are made – a store or restaurant checkout area is a point of sale, for example. A lot more goes on at the POS than finalizing transactions, from last-minute sales of small items to rewards program signups, credit card applications, inventory control, and more. This range of functionality is offered for a reason, so be sure you’re taking advantage of everything your POS system has to offer.
1. Offering a customer reward program is often an effective way to increase point of sale numbers. Customer rewards programs may offer discounts, coupons, or even free gifts for customers on their birthdays. The best customer rewards programs also encourage repeat business, often through the use of points systems.
2. One of the best things your POS offers is the ability to log every item in your store and build a solid and accurate inventory system. Ensure that the inventory system offered with your POS is up-to-date and that, no matter how big or small your operation, you’re keeping track of merchandise. This will help with everything from ordering to loss prevention.
3. Both old and newer POS systems can lose some of their functionality, whether it’s a busted pay screen, a sticky keyboard, or a broken mouse. Every so often perform a routine checkup of all the pieces of equipment attached to the POS system, from the software itself to hardware such as scanners, and take steps to replace items as needed. Even minor boosts in a POS system’s functionality can provide much faster and more efficient POS operations.
4. Know what you need in a POS system, and implement exactly that – nothing more and nothing less. Restaurants might not need scanners or the advanced inventory systems that retail operations do and can probably do away with a lot of extraneous hardware. On the other hand, a store that wants to build a strong rewards program will need more than what some basic POS systems have to offer. It’s a good idea for any business to take stock of their needs every so often and rework their POS accordingly.
5. Security is a huge concern for both you and your customers, so always be sure that you are offering only the best security possible with your POS system. Remember that security systems need updating over time, whether it’s because of new methods of payment or vulnerabilities that arise in existing systems. Offering the highest level of security possible will protect your business in many ways.
There are POS systems available to fit virtually every business, and in many cases, POS systems can be customized to fit your needs if they may vary from the norm. Be sure to explore all your options. After all, the POS is the heart of your business and the source of your profits.

With nearly 12% of the US adult population dealing with chronic pain, it’s no wonder our country has such a problem with opioid pain medication addiction. With all the news coverage about the “problem”, we would like to turn our energies to a solution instead.
Massage therapy has long been known to be an effective way to reduce stress and alleviate pain. During a massage, serotonin levels increase measurably, which reduces pain naturally.
In fact, field studies have provided enough supportive evidence that massage therapy is recommended as an effective non-pharmaceutical pain management therapy by the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals: The Official Handbook of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
As a result, hospitals across the nation are including massage therapists on patient care teams to fight pain. These teams may include a physician, several nurses, a nutritionist, a yoga instructor, a chaplain, and a massage therapist.
Massage therapy is even being implemented critical care environments, like hospital emergency rooms, chemotherapy clinics, cardiac units, and labor and delivery units.
Why is massage therapy so effective at reducing pain?
Together, these powerful benefits of therapeutic massage create the perfect emotional and physiological conditions to promote healing and a more positive sense of wellbeing.
If you or someone you care about struggles with fibromyalgia, joint pain, chronic headaches, or other causes of long-term or difficult to manage pain, please reach out to see how we can help.

Broadway’s longest-running musical and West End’s finest, The Phantom of the Opera is one of those classics that don’t need extra hype to sell. From the moment Andrew Lloyd Webber produced it in 1986, it has set the global standard for musical productions. It reminds us of what good musicals are made of—a genuinely talented cast and ensemble, spectacular musical score, breathtaking set design and costumes, a compelling story, and the crew’s ability to cohesively put them all together onstage.

A true thespian is not a copycat performer—he/she brings her own flavor to the stage, even with material that’s been reused for decades.

Interviewing different bands exposes me to local artists that I otherwise would have remained oblivious to and one such band is Saving Temperance. This band out of Kingsburg brings a mix of faith with rock. Although this is not something new, the band’s mix of alternative rock music and lyrics about faith, mercy and so on carry the weight and well of the emotion of the words written.
As I listened to their EP (extended play) Back Home, I was instantly engaged by the voice and sound. There is something about a well-balanced song (and more importantly an album) that can evoke a mix of feelings within a person. The beat of the music supports the voice that utters powerful lyrics, like my favorite “Do something with your life” from the song “Get Up”. From slow build ups to a powerful mix of guitars and drums, the hard, rhythmic rock of the music supports an equally strong, emotive voice.
Of course, a band is more than just the music they produce, but rather the people that collaborate and make the music that is enjoyed. As I had the opportunity to review their EP, I also was able to speak with the members of the band, comprised of Brittany Wainwright (kead vocals, songwriter, founder), Chris Wainwright (kead guitar, back-up vocals, founder), Matt Nygren (bass player, back-up vocals), and Frankie Palumbo (drummer).
Brittany and Chris are siblings who, according to Brittany, began their musical journey at a young age when Chris “would make something up on guitar and I would write lyrics to it.” As they got older, they eventually toyed with the idea of starting a band.
When I talked to drummer Frankie Palumbo, he recounted his first time with the band. “I started with the band as a fill in.” According to Palumbo, they met through Wainwrights’ mother BJ, manager of the band. “BJ knew about me because we were a part of the same church organization. They asked me to fill in for a show in Selma.” About two months later, Palumbo was approached by the band and was asked to join due to the former drummer leaving. So, Palumbo “tried it out and stayed with them.” The rest, as they say, is history.
Chris, the lead guitarist is also audio technical sound guy of the group. “My sister Brittany and I are the founders of the band. We currently have four members that have been together for almost two years,” said Chris.
As for tours, BJ Wainwright responded, “We perform local venues like Kuppajoe’s Night Club, Club Retro, The Lounge. We perform for local Youth Groups & lead worship for Churches. We get hired to play large Youth Conferences all over the United States. Mid-February we will perform at a Winterfest Youth Conference in San Diego.” The band has played with other Christian rock groups like Addison Road, Jars of Clay, and many more. “All of the band members have full time jobs. We would all really like to do the band full time,” explains BJ. They are also raising donations in order to travel to Nashville in April to be a part of a showcase and be seen by many record labels and producers.
If you would like to donate to Saving Temperance or book a show with them, please call (559) 930-1062 or email booking@savingtemperance.com. You can learn more about them on their website.

There are seven sets of Nigerians who will find the year 2018 very tough for some reasons. These are some of those people.
On paper and other media houses, it is said that Nigeria is officially out of recession. but if you try to confirm this from ordinary people in the street of Nigeria, they will all tell you that Nigeria is being hit by a recession that is characterized by high inflation and limited sources of income.
While the recession is just a fairy tale to some, I mean they do not believe it exist, others can see and feel it. They can see it when they look at the mirror and see how unpleasing their physical appearance has become due to malnutrition, they can feel it when it is time for launch and no means to provide it.
State governments are unable to meet up with the minimum wage of N18,000 and companies are now competing on the number of people they have sacked. This rat race is living Nigerians with no other option other than to look outside the box..
The most unfortunate part is that Nigerians are looking in the wrong direction. Yes it is true that online businesses can liberate and free Nigerians from the woes of this recession and it is true that the kind of things Nigerians want to do online will make them loose more money than they earn.
If you look at the Nigerian online world, it is filled with ponzy schemes, hyips, crypto currencies etc. yes it is true that these programs can make you peanut but I guarantee you that in the long run you will lose more money than you earned. I said you will earn peanuts because the main money is for the owners of the programs.
the similarity between all these online earning methods is that in most cases 1% or less of the population earns 99% or more of the earnings. and that 1% earners are mostly the owners of the programs.
The price of everything you can think of in Nigeria has increased, I mean everything including Oxygen. If you doubt me ask for oxygen price in hospitals. If you have a fixed salary and you are not diversifying your income in the right direction, 2018 will not be funny for you.
You want to invest 100usd and get 30% at the end of the month while you are asleep? Bro there are no Magic trees on the internet. Yes a 100usd can earn one thousand usd while advertising a product or service but if you just want to put it, sleep and wake up after 30days to get 30% bonus then you are on the verge of narrating a heart touching story.
All those dudes that always play it safe and reject everything that comes their way instantly, 2018 will not smile at you. It use to be wise to play it safe but this is 2018. I am not advising you to try every crap that comes your way but I am advising you to research thoroughly on something and try it. for example you can start with an online business model that has a lot of known millionairs that are already making serious money from it. example of such business is Affiliate marketing.
It is an undeniable fact that different areas of our lives are changing. Our physique is changing, the kind of cars we use are changing, technologies and everything around us is changing but you do not want to change the kind of business or service you render?
the bottom line is that you either change and upgrade both your services and your knowledge from time to time or your customers will upgrade and change you. remember that the only thing that is constant in life is change.
There are a particular set of closed minded people that believe they know everything. Every online business you tell them about they will tell you they know it and it’s a waste of time or something of that nature. The most annoying part is if you ask them how much they have earned online to be able to make such authoritative judgments on different online businesses, you will learn that they have never earned a penny or they are only earning peanuts. If you are the closed minded type, 2018 may not be funny.
Real Online tutors will only give you a definite guideline of what they do. usually it requires an effort from your end to replicate their success. if you are the lazy type that gives up easily then you will miss out of whatever gold mine they hand over to you.
if you happen to be a slow learner, it is just telling you that you require a little more effort. The greatest proof that you can earn a lot of money online is that somebody else is already earning and you know exactly what he is doing.
A wise man once said that you cant be doing same thing and expect a different result. if you are not comfortable with your 2017 earnings, you must be ready to do things differently or you will still have exact same results like the previous year.

Euro-Par 2018: Parallel Processing Workshops, pp. 12, Springer, Turin, Italy, 2018.
n recent years, increasing attention has been given to the possibility of guaranteeing Service Level Objectives (SLOs) to users about their applications, either regarding performance or power consumption. SLO can be implemented for parallel applications since they can provide many control knobs (e.g., the number of threads to use, the clock frequency of the cores, etc.) to tune the performance and power consumption of the application. Different from most of the existing approaches, we target sequential stream processing applications by proposing a solution based on C++ annotations. The user specifies which parts of the code to parallelize and what type of requirements should be enforced on that part of the code. Our solution first automatically parallelizes the annotated code and then applies self-adaptation approaches at run-time to enforce the user-expressed objectives. We ran experiments on different real-world applications, showing its simplicity and effectiveness.
Stream processing applications became a representative workload in current computing systems. A significant part of these applications demands parallelism to increase performance. However, programmers are often facing a trade-off between coding productivity and performance when introducing parallelism. SPar was created for balancing this trade-off to the application programmers by using the C++11 attributes' annotation mechanism. In SPar and other programming frameworks for stream processing applications, the manual definition of the number of replicas to be used for the stream operators is a challenge. In addition to that, low latency is required by several stream processing applications. We noted that explicit latency requirements are poorly considered on the state-of-the-art parallel programming frameworks. Since there is a direct relationship between the number of replicas and the latency of the application, in this work we propose an autonomic and adaptive strategy to choose the proper number of replicas in SPar to address latency constraints. We experimentally evaluated our implemented strategy and demonstrated its effectiveness on a real-world application, demonstrating that our adaptive strategy can provide higher abstraction levels while automatically managing the latency.
Journal of Supercomputing, 75 , pp. 1-20, 2018, ISSN: 0920-8542.
It is often a challenge to keep input/output tasks/results in order for parallel computations ver data streams, particularly when stateless task operators are replicated to increase parallelism when there are irregular tasks. Maintaining input/output order requires additional coding effort and may significantly impact the application's actual throughput. Thus, we propose a new implementation technique designed to be easily integrated with any of the existing C++ parallel programming frameworks that support stream parallelism. In this paper, it is first implemented and studied using SPar, our high-level domain-specific language for stream parallelism. We discuss the results of a set of experiments with real-world applications revealing how significant performance improvements may be achieved when our proposed solution is integrated within SPar, especially for data compression applications. Also, we show the results of experiments performed after integrating our solution within FastFlow and TBB, revealing no significant overheads.
School of Technology - PPGCC - PUCRS, 2018.
In recent years, stream processing applications have become a traditional workload in computing systems. They are traditionally found in video, audio, graphic and image processing. Many of these applications demand parallelism to increase performance. However, programmers must often face the trade-off between coding productivity and performance that introducing parallelism creates. SPar Domain-Specific Language (DSL) was created to achieve the optimal balance for programmers, with the C++-11 attribute annotation mechanism to ensure that essential properties of stream parallelism could be represented (stage, input, output, and replicate). The compiler recognizes the SPar attributes and generates parallel code automatically. The need to manually define parallelism is tne crucial challenge for increasing SPAR's abstraction level, because it is time consuming and error prone. Also, executing several applications can fail to be efficient when running a non-suitable number of replicas. This occurs when the defined number of replicas in a parallel region is not optimal or when a static number is used, which ignores the dynamic nature of stream processing applications. In order to solve this problem, we introduced the concept of the abstracted and adaptive number of replicas for SPar. Moreover, we described our implemented mechanism as well as transformation rules that enable SPar to generate parallel code with the adaptive degree of parallelism support. We experimentally evaluated the implemented adaptive mechanisms regarding their effectiveness. Thus, we used real-world applications to demonstrate that our adaptive mechanism implementations can provide higher abstraction levels without significant performance degradation.
International Journal of Parallel Programming, pp. 1-19, 2018, ISSN: 1573-7640.
Parallel programming has been a challenging task for application programmers. Stream processing is an application domain present in several scientific, enterprise, and financial areas that lack suitable abstractions to exploit parallelism. Our goal is to assess the feasibility of state-of-the-art frameworks/libraries (Pthreads, TBB, and FastFlow) and the SPar domain-specific language for real-world streaming applications (Dedup, Ferret, and Bzip2) targeting multi-core architectures. SPar was specially designed to provide high-level and productive stream parallelism abstractions, supporting programmers with standard C++-11 annotations. For the experiments, we implemented three streaming applications. We discussed SPar’s programmability advantages compared to the frameworks in terms of productivity and structured parallel programming. The results demonstrate that SPar improves productivity and provides the necessary features to achieve similar performances compared to the state-of-the-art.
XVIII Simpósio em Sistemas Computacionais de Alto Desempenho, pp. 16-27, SBC, Campinas, SP, Brasil, 2017, ISBN: 2358-6613.
The stream processing domain is present in several real-world applications that are running on multi-core systems. In this paper, we focus on data compression applications that are an important sub-set of this domain. Our main goal is to assess the programmability and efficiency of domain-specific language called SPar. It was specially designed for expressing stream parallelism and it promises higher-level parallelism abstractions without significant performance losses. Therefore, we parallelized Lzip and Bzip2 compressors with SPar and compared with state-of-the-art frameworks. The results revealed that SPar is able to efficiently exploit stream parallelism as well as provide suitable abstractions with less code intrusion and code re-factoring.
3rd International Workshop on Reengineering for Parallelism in Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms, IOS Press, Bologna, Italy, 2017.
SPar is a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) designed to provide high-level parallel programming abstractions for streaming applications. Video processing belongs to this application domain that requires parallel processing to extract and analyze information quickly. When using state-of-the-art frameworks such as FastFlow and TBB, the application programmer has to manage source code re-factoring and performance optimization for implementing the parallelism efficiently. This is not attractive for the application programmer audience. Our goal is to assess SPar's programming language and performance in traditional video applications. We also discuss different implementations and compare them to SPar. The results have shown that SPar maintains the sequential code structure, requires less code intrusion and provides higher-level programming abstractions without performance losses.

The amount of data generated worldwide associated with geolocalization has exponentially increased over the last decade due to social networks, population demographics, and the popularization of Global Positioning Systems. Several methods for geovisualization have already been developed, but many of them are focused on a specific application or require learning a variety of tools and programming languages. It becomes even more difficult when users have to manage a large amount of data because state-of-the-art alternatives require the use of third-party pre-processing tools. We present a novel Domain-Specific Language (DSL), which focuses on large data geovisualizations. Through a compiler, we support automatic visualization generations and data pre-processing. The system takes advantage of multi-core parallelism to speed-up data pre-processing abstractly. Our experiments were designated to highlight the programming effort and performance of our DSL. The results have shown a considerable programming effort reduction and efficient parallelism support with respect to the sequential version.
Parallel Processing Letters, 27 (01), pp. 1740005, 2017.
This paper introduces SPar, an internal C++ Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that supports the development of classic stream parallel applications. The DSL uses standard C++ attributes to introduce annotations tagging the notable components of stream parallel applications: stream sources and stream processing stages. A set of tools process SPar code (C++ annotated code using the SPar attributes) to generate FastFlow C++ code that exploits the stream parallelism denoted by SPar annotations while targeting shared memory multi-core architectures. We outline the main SPar features along with the main implementation techniques and tools. Also, we show the results of experiments assessing the feasibility of the entire approach as well as SPar’s performance and expressiveness.
Faculdade de Informática - PPGCC - PUCRS, 2016.
Stream-based systems are representative of several application domains including video, audio, networking, graphic processing, etc. Stream programs may run on different kinds of parallel architectures (desktop, servers, cell phones, and supercomputers) and represent significant workloads on our current computing systems. Nevertheless, most of them are still not parallelized. Moreover, when new software has to be developed, programmers often face a trade-off between coding productivity, code portability, and performance. To solve this problem, we provide a new Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that naturally/on-the-fly captures and represents parallelism for stream-based applications. The aim is to offer a set of attributes (through annotations) that preserves the program's source code and is not architecture-dependent for annotating parallelism. We used the C++ attribute mechanism to design a ``textitde-facto'' standard C++ embedded DSL named SPar. However, the implementation of DSLs using compiler-based tools is difficult, complicated, and usually requires a significant learning curve. This is even harder for those who are not familiar with compiler technology. Therefore, our motivation is to simplify this path for other researchers (experts in their domain) with support tools (our tool is CINCLE) to create high-level and productive DSLs through powerful and aggressive source-to-source transformations. In fact, parallel programmers can use their expertise without having to design and implement low-level code. The main goal of this thesis was to create a DSL and support tools for high-level stream parallelism in the context of a programming framework that is compiler-based and domain-oriented. Thus, we implemented SPar using CINCLE. SPar supports the software developer with productivity, performance, and code portability while CINCLE provides sufficient support to generate new DSLs. Also, SPar targets source-to-source transformation producing parallel pattern code built on top of FastFlow and MPI. Finally, we provide a full set of experiments showing that SPar provides better coding productivity without significant performance degradation in multi-core systems as well as transformation rules that are able to achieve code portability (for cluster architectures) through its generalized attributes.

This paper proposes a new C++ embedded Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for expressing stream parallelism by using standard C++11 attributes annotations. The main goal is to introduce high-level parallel abstractions for developing stream based parallel programs as well as reducing sequential source code rewriting. We demonstrated that by using a small set of attributes it is possible to produce different parallel versions depending on the way the source code is annotated. The performances of the parallel code produced are comparable with those obtained by manual parallelization.

Sold under the brand name Klonopin, clonazepam is a powerful relaxant prescribed for anxiety, panic attacks and some seizure disorders. When a person abuses clonazepam, there can be a number of side effects. Like Xanax, Ativan and Valium, this drug is highly addictive. Learning more about clonazepam, it’s side effects and symptoms of addiction can help you or a loved one recognize a problem and find treatment.
Because clonazepam is a benzodiazepine, it is only prescribed by a doctor. Clonazepam is known as an anticonvulsant or antiepileptic and works in the brain to calm nerves that may become agitated. The drug calms brain chemicals by boosting the effect of GABA (Gabba Amino Butyric Acid) in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter that controls the passage of messages from one cell to another resulting in a calming effect.1 Using clonazepam for longer periods of time or in ways other than prescribed by a physician quickly leads to addiction.
Clonazepam is only intended for short-term use. Over time, a person’s brain chemistry adjusts to the presence of the drug and the user will not feel the desired effects as strongly. Clonazepam users who continue to use the drug for longer than prescribed must increase their dosage to have the same experience. Clonazepam users can develop a tolerance for very high doses of this drug.
Many people mistakenly believe that this drug is safer than illegal street drugs, because it is available through physicians. But if clonazepam is taken incorrectly, the results can be devastating.
Clonazepam abuse can also result in psychological dependence. Many people who struggle with clonazepam addiction also struggle with mental illness. Benzodiazepine users often take the drugs to combat anxiety, trauma or depression. Some people use these drugs to self-medicate bipolar mania or try to soothe schizophrenia or psychosis.2 Even if the physical addiction is treated in a detox setting, treatment in a comprehensive rehab program is crucial for addressing any undiagnosed or untreated mental illness as well as the emotional issues the drugs can cause.
One of the first indicators of dependence on any drug is the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug is stopped. Your doctor will usually recommend a gradual weaning of clonazepam because stopping too quickly can cause serious health problems.
It is important that any person who uses this drug seeks the help of a reputable detox program to quit.
If you or your loved one struggles with clonazepam addiction we are here for you. We have many new treatment options and programs available for clonazepam and Klonopin dependence. We offer a completely confidential and toll-free helpline, 706-914-2327, that can help you find the treatment you need. Our admissions coordinators are available 24 hours a day to answer your questions about addiction and help you find treatment.

There are a number of things that can contribute to either bad-smelling or unhealthy air, that come from many places in and out of the home. Dangerous chemicals such as lead, formaldehyde and other volatile chemicals can be present, as well as products of organic origin, such as mould, dust mites and pet dander.
How do these enter your home?
Dirt and grime are perfect breeding grounds for bacteria and the production of mould, and are easily tracked in from outside by shoes, pets and clothes. New furniture and other products such as mattresses and whitegoods often have been treated with a number of chemicals that escape into the air, and can build up to high concentrations in unventilated rooms. Similarly, house cleaners such as disinfectant spray and other cleaning sprays can also release toxic chemicals that linger in the air.
Why are these things bad?
These days, the increased time spent inside coupled with the fact that houses are increasingly built to be airtight to improve insulation both contribute to the decreasing quality of our indoor air. Allergens that could have previously escaped from small gaps in doors and windows are now prevented from leaving, causing a build-up of these products, which can be very detrimental to health. Increased dust and pet hair in homes can cause allergic reactions, and volatile chemicals in the air have been shown to damage airways and lungs.
A great way of stopping pet dander and dirt from entering the house is to groom your pets regularly (see a previous post about this topic). Getting a high-efficiency particulate arrestance (or HEPA, for short) air-filter or vacuum cleaner can work wonders on your air quality. The high-density filter ensures even the smallest of compounds in the air will be sucked up and removed, including dust and chemicals. Cleaning or changing the filters already present in your air-conditioner, heater or vacuum will also help in removing these irritants if you don’t have a HEPA filter.
Using eco-friendly cleaning products are a great way to prevent nasty chemicals from entering your home in the first place, and installing some green plants in different rooms will help to filter and purify the air naturally.
Last but not least, open some windows! If all else fails, this is a certified quality method for circulating fresh air into the home and removing old stale air, and it’s effortless and absolutely free!

While it may seem like a massive challenge to manage remote employees, it can actually be quite similar to overseeing an in-office staff. Find out how to effectively manage a remote workforce with these tips.
Let’s say your company prides itself on its superior customer service. Whatever the core of your company is, you should always share it with your employees no matter how long they’ve worked for you.
Let potential employees know the company’s beliefs during the interview process. New hires can grasp it better during the training process, and seasoned employees can be reminded of your company’s culture during management meetings. After all, your employees should always know what your company stands for—and where it’s going.
When employees are included in the company culture, they will not only appreciate it, but they will work harder to help the company achieve its goals.
With staff stretched out from Singapore to Sioux City, it’s crucial to keep everyone in sync.
By having regularly scheduled meetings, you’ll ensure everyone is always on the same page. It will aid with the goal of making sure your team has the most accurate, up-to-date information, and that they are on track with their work goals as well.
In addition to company-wide meetings, it’s a good idea to check in with individual members of the team often.
By taking the time to speak with employees on a one-on-one basis, you’ll know if there are any issues the employee is facing, if his job needs to be fine-tuned, and be able to troubleshoot before a small problem becomes a big issue.
If an employee does a stellar job on a project, it’s not enough to quickly send an email of thanks. So offer a virtual pat on the back instead.
Be sure to let the entire team know of an employee’s job well done and encourage them to offer kudos, too. Little gestures pack a big punch, so you can send a thank you gift (such as flowers or a gift card) to show how much the employee’s work means to you and the company as a whole.
Telecommuting employees thrive in any work environment when two of their most important needs are met. First, they need to feel as if they are valued and respected within their organization. Second, they excel when management invests in them to help in the trajectory of their career.
Both of these needs can be accomplished by offering coaching for all employees as well as mentoring services. You’ll be investing in your employees and, in turn, they will be more invested in your organization and its success.
As an organization, you have goals that you want to meet on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis.
It’s paramount to the success of the company to share those goals with your team. Letting them know what you expect of them—and what they can expect of the company in return—can help keep your remote workforce sharp, focused, and productive.
Whether you’re managing remote employees or traditional in-office workers, you need to make sure their compensation is correct.

We did a color sorting activity that the children really enjoyed. I purchased buttons from the crafts store and walmart which came in six different color and in a variety of sizes.
The button colors matched the color sorting bowls that I purchased from amazon.com. I set the buttons out along with the empty sorting bowls and the children sorted the buttons into the correct bowls.
After the buttons had all been sorted the children estimated which color had the most buttons and the least buttons. We then counted the buttons. This activity was super easy to set up and not only did it work on colors and sorting but also fine motor skills. Because buttons are small objects please use supervision for children 3 and under and those still in the stages of putting items in their mouths.
I can't believe I didn't think of that! I've had those buttons and sorter bowls for a while now and have never used them. Thank you Shelley for this great idea!!
How pretty Shelley. Thanks for including the links. I love those bowls.

In June and July 2009, we participated in the Ne 'Na Artist Residency program in Northern Thailand. Situated on the outskirts of Chiangmai lies Monfai, a project piloted by Rampad Kothkeow, a local woman with aspirations to preserve the traditions and culture of the Lanna people. Peeking above the canopy and immersed in the undergrowth are the rooftops of a series of traditional buildings and houses distinct to Lanna culture and identifiable by 'ka-lae', a hand carved wooden V shape. Over a period of twenty years Rampad has 'collected' these traditional Lanna structures and created an open-air living museum, using them to preserve and educate others about the disappearing traditional Lanna culture. The teak buildings whilst humble and practical in appearance are spotted with intricate woodcarvings which upon closer inspection reflect the customs and beliefs of the Lanna people; the interesting blend of belief and function that emphasizes the search for balance between the aesthetic and the pragmatic. Monfai, which translates as "view from cotton hills", communicates both the traditional Lanna perspective and the traditions Northern Thailand is renowned for; the cotton industry, textiles and weaving.
One cannot help but be besieged by the architecture at Monfai as you wander beneath and throughout the labyrinth of paths it creates as it takes form within the surrounding vegetation. You will often find trees have been incorporated into the structures as improvised pillars. The series of buildings comprising the whole complex exudes an unusual coolness that is as comforting as the shade of a banana palm on a hot tropical afternoon. Some even find it mysterious as if it were harboring old spirits of previous occupants. But the entirety of Monfai can never be experienced all at once, rather only through its parts, through the series of exhibition rooms, sheltered areas, decks, passageways and stairs. Hanging Altar is a response piece to our experiences at Monfai. In trying to communicate our impressions and observations of the entirety of Monfai, we built a small-scale replica of Monfai to give an omniscient perspective to the complex of rooms, passageways and stairs, which form its structures.
The installation utilizes a variety of native plants¬ and processed materials including foam, colored paper and fish tanks and the local knowledge of Northern Thai people to construct an elaborate hanging garden within the Monfai studio space, reflecting the immersive nature of the Monfai architecture in the surrounding environment and the utopian aspirations it embodies. The omniscient perspective serves as a gods eye view and performs a similar function to that of the altars in Ba'ila villages in southern Zambia. Ba'ila settlements are constructed and organized in recursive circular patterns and, according to ethnomathematician Ron Eglash, encompass mathematical principles of fractals whereby the chief's ring at the back of the village is a small-scale replica of the entire village. In each domestic dwelling is an altar and the chief's house serves as the 'altar' to the village. As the altars in both the domestic and chiefs quarters act as reminders of the higher powers they each serve, our small scale model of Monfai within Monfai is intended as a reminder for the visitors of the higher ideals and beliefs that Rampad aspires to and serves in the creation and ongoing development of Monfai, namely preserving the traditions and culture of the Lanna people. Thr fractal principles of social organization found in Southern Zambia inform the construction and understanding of many components of our work and reflect the myriad of features that compose Monfai as a self-organizing social organization serving grander schemes.

CBJ — Former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney will delay his political aspirations here in this country for a bit longer after it was announced he agreed to extend his period as governor of The Bank of England by six months until January, 2020. The original departure date was June, 2019.
The 53-year-old Carney made the decision to stay in London the initial phases of Britain’s exit from the European Union. He took the governor’s position back in 2013.
Great Britain is due to leave the EU in March 2019 but there is uncertainty as to how it will leave. Though the extension is shorter than expected — most were predicting Carney would carry on for another year.

The SAXS instrument provides cutting edge capabilities for probing large length-scale structures such as polymers, biological macromolecules, meso- and nano-porous materials, and molecular self-assemblies. Background scattering is minimized through the use of an evacuated flight path and vacuum compatible motorized slits.
Designed and constructed by researchers in the MRL X-ray Facility, the SAXS diffractometer first became available to users in fall of 2000. In 2008, the system was upgraded with a high brilliance x-ray micro-source and new optics from XENOCS which resulted in substantial performance enhancement. The system was again upgraded in 2015 with the addition of a new EIGER R 1M detector resulting in a setup that produces exposures of unrivaled data quality and spatial resolution.
As a result of a recent in house development, the SAXS instrument was upgraded with the single crystal/metal hybrid scatterless slits that are practically free of parasitic slit scattering. The total number of apertures in the collimation system is reduced to two. For most applications, only one set of slits is used, effectively making the instrument a Single Aperture SAXS camera, with a 300% boost in flux at sample position without compromising resolution.

October 7, 2014 — A man who says he was injured by glass particles in generic Lipitor (atorvastatin) has filed a lawsuit against its manufacturer, Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals.
Courthouse News reports that the plaintiff, Calvin Johnson, is seeking $50,000 in damages for urinary tract injuries, including a kidney stone and blood in his urine. The lawsuit was filed in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on October 1.
Johnson blames his injuries on tiny particles of glass in atorvastatin, a generic form of Lipitor that was manufactured in India by Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals.
In November 2012, certain lots of generic Lipitor were recalled because the FDA was concerned they might be contaminated with glass particles roughly the size of a grain of sand (less than 1-mm).
The FDA classified the recall as “Class II” and said they believed the risk of injury was “extremely low.” No reports of injury were linked to the recall, and the FDA said if any injuries did occur, they would be temporary.
Soon after the recall, Ranbaxy halted production to fix the problems. Production resumed in February 2013. However, the following year, the FDA shut down several Ranbaxy facilities in India due to serious lapses in quality-control.
Unfortunately, problems persist. In May 2014, Ranbaxy recalled 64,000 bottles of atorvastatin due to a possible dosage mix-up. The recall was issued after a pharmacist reported finding a 20-mg tablet in a sealed 10-mg bottle of atorvastatin.

The leading names in the professional services realm have again dominated the list of top graduate employers in Australia, with the Big Four accounting firms continuing to jostle for top spot.
The annual list of the top 100 most popular graduate employers of Australia is assessed according to application data from the graduate jobs website GradConnection, and announced in conjunction with the Australian Financial Review. For the fourth straight year, the big names in the assurance and advisory sector have featured at the pointy end of the list, claiming four of the top five spots, with the business consulting world following closely behind to jointly dominate the top-ten.
Since the award’s inception in 2015, representatives of the Big Four accounting firms have claimed each year’s title as the most popular graduate employer, but there has been stiff competition among them for the ultimate prize, with KPMG taking the inaugural crown and Deloitte triumphing in the past two years. This year, 2017’s runner-up PwC has trumped both for the 2018 gong, finishing ahead of KPMG in second and Deloitte in third, with EY landing in fifth.
Deloitte in Australia employs some 7000 professionals (of the network’s approximately one quarter of a million employees worldwide), operating across 15 regional offices including locales in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste while generating revenues of over A$1.75 billion last financial year – at +15%, the third consecutive year of double-digit growth for the firm’s local arm. In 2017, the firm promoted 61 new partners, and welcomed a further 45 who joined through lateral channels, bringing the total to more than 700 across its local network.
Led by CEO Cindy Hook, who in 2015 was the first woman to be appointed to the top role of a local Big Four firm, Deloitte in Australia considers gender and cultural diversity as critical to its success, and has been consistently recognised as an equal opportunities leader by the Australian Federal Government as well as featuring in the top-ten list of local organisations for corporate social responsibility as being named by the specialist sustainability consultancy ACCSR – a firm which it has since brought into its fold.
As one of its 154 countries of operation worldwide, employing some 200,000 people across the globe, KPMG in Australia has 14 primary locations across the continent and a staff of approximately 6,700 employees, including over 400 those as partners. In terms of graduate recruitment, the firm has instituted a range of initiatives in line with the company’s keen digital focus. In addition to offering ‘virtual’ internships, where students can gain credit for completing an online task, KPMG has also developed an online app to help prospective employees determine the best match for its various practices, and has automated its application process for more immediate outcomes.
Further to the Big Four, the top ten also saw a strong showing from the consulting sector, with Accenture, AECOM, and Protiviti crowding the leaderboard in seventh, eighth and ninth, joined in the top third of the list overall by Capgemini (24th), as well as Bain & Company (25th) and Grant Thornton (35th) as two of this year’s biggest bolters. In addition, the accounting network RSM has made its debut as the 32nd most desired employer by Australian graduates.

Love astronomy? Get your smartphone in on your love for the stars. While we used to turn to astronomy books and home telescopes to observe constellations and planetary bodies, now we have apps for that, scratch that, we have 10 apps for your iOS or Android device to help find the locations of stars, planets, satellites and space stations.
Many of these apps use augmented reality combined the device’s camera to show you exactly where the stars are. You can point your device’s camera towards the sky and find the position of stars and constellations.
You can then use these apps to find out more educational information about a celestial body, or to plan ahead for your stargazing activities.
Apart from the augmented reality apps like Star Chart affords users, this app goes the extra mile when it comes to time travel, about 10,000 years forward or backward in time. You can also change your location to view the night sky from other points on Earth, and in-app purchases unlock enhanced star catalogues, meteor showers, comets etc.
Love to catch up on what NASA the space agency is working on? This NASA app keeps you in the loop about the latest NASA missions plus images (updated daily), news, features, tweets, satellite trackers and even live stream from NASA TV. It also has launch information, a countdown clock and it tracks the ISS sighting opportunities.
Despite the information you can get from these stargazing apps, at the end of the night, all we want is to gaze at stars. This app comes with a community that suggests great stargazing locationsacross the world. On top of that, it also checks weather conditions for the coming night so you know if it is a night worth staying up for stargazing.
SkyView uses the back camera to give you information like the paths of objects in the sky and names of the bright lights you see. You can also search for and locate specific stars or space stations. Like something you see and want to share it with the world? Sharing is enabled on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
This app is available exclusively for the iPad. With its big screen, and 180 degrees view, it shows you information about any star or planet that you can view with the naked eye. Planets are shown in relative brightness. Touch any celestial object for a pop up that shows you the information about the object.
Did you know that you can see the International Space Station (ISS) with the naked eye? This ISS Detector app can notify you with an alarm 5 minutes ahead of time before the ISS flies by. With in-app purchase, it also lets you track the Tiangong space station, the Hubble space telescope, satellites and comets too.
With Google Sky Map uses compass data and GPS to accurately identify the celestial object you are pointing your phone at. It can direct you to the section of the sky you should be observing, to find the object of your desire or you can ‘time travel’ and find out where the object will be at a different (later) hour of the night.
With this app installed, you can strap your phone onto the OTA of your telescope to guide you on where to look. The database has 180 bright objects, Messier objects, planets in our solar systems and you can use the Time Machine object to jump ahead and plan your nightly stargazing events.
Pick a star, planet or satellite from the list and it will show you where it is by using your device’s back camera and pointing you to the correct direction. The free option comes with only a few planets, but if you like the app, you can unlock other stars and satellites with in-app purchases.
If for some reason you would like to observe and track satellites instead of natural objects in the sky, this app can help you track the path and location of satellites orbiting our earth. You can search through a database to look for the one you want, and then point your device towards the sky and it will show you where it is.
