ORACLE interview questions : What is lock escalation?
Lock escalation is the process of converting a lot of low level locks (like row locks, page locks) into higher level locks (like table locks). Every lock is a memory structure too many locks would mean, more memory being occupied by locks. To prevent this from happening, SQL Server escalates the many fine-grain locks to fewer coarse-grain locks. Lock escalation threshold was definable in SQL Server 6.5, but from SQL Server 7.0 onwards it?s dynamically managed by SQL Server.

Thanksgiving weekend started the official start to the holiday season. We have been inundated with commercials and news stories for big deals on electronics, computers and Christmas gift ideas for the family and friends since the beginning of November. We have survived “Black Friday” and bought gifts online during “Cyber Monday“. Now we need a place to store everything that we bought until it is ready to be wrapped and placed under the Christmas tree.
What does “Black Friday” or “Cyber Monday” have to do with self storage? Renting a self storage unit is a great solution for storing your holiday purchases. If you don’t have a lot of room in your home for storage or to keep the presents away from spying eyes, using a self storage unit is a good idea to hide presents during the holiday season.
Storage World has storage unit sizes varying from 5×5 to 10×30 allowing storage for everything from large flat screen TVs to bicycles to furniture. A 5×5 storage unit, or the size of a closet, is a great place to store smaller packages and boxes. Renting a larger storage unit allows for extra room for a holiday wrapping station, which is helpful to keep the presents away from sneaky family members! Storage World offers secure storage including gated keypad entry, surveillance cameras and alarm systems to give our renters peace of mind that their holiday gifts are safe while in storage.
Many self storage operations offer holiday storage specials called “Santa’s Closet” to give special discounts for renters during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. The specials are focused on the smaller sized storage units, such as the 5×5, that are great places to store holiday gifts. Storage World is offering our own “Santa’s Closet” special at our three Atlanta area self storage facilities: Decatur, Jonesboro, and Stockbridge. For the holidays, Storage World is offering 10% off the rents for a 5×5 or a 5×10 storage unit. The rates vary per location and are subject to change. Visit your closest Storage World facility now to find out more information about storing Christmas gifts for the family!
A self storage unit is also a great place for holiday decoration storage including Christmas trees, lights, ornaments and wreaths. Utilizing a self storage unit for holiday decorations will help eliminate the “after the holiday season clutter” in your home. Climate controlled storage units help keep artificial wreaths and Christmas trees looking fresh and ready for use in the future. Storage units are great places to keep your holiday decorations until you need them again next year.

A new contact sensing technology previously developed in the Biotribology Laboratory at Clemson University was further studied, evaluated, and characterized to extend its use to the measurement of lubricating film thickness. First, the laboratory's force-controlled knee joint simulator was used while dynamic contact pressure measurements under both dry and lubricated conditions were made using the sensor technology employed in two different artificial knee implant geometries. Each implant was machined by the manufacturer from custom blocks of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) containing a grid of discrete sensing regions. The difference between the dry and lubricated contact areas measured at different phases of the gait cycle for each implant suggested that the dynamic lubrication thickness might also be able to be quantified by the sensing technology. To gain insight on this, simplified contacts of metal on UHMWPE were studied with the sensing technology being employed in the UHMWPE side of the contacts. First, the UHMWPE sensor's outputs were studied under static, lubricated conditions while the surface separation was directly controlled. The insights gained during the static testing were used to develop a more representative contact that was then characterized under hydrodynamic conditions. The experimental contact model was designed to mimic a single sensing point of the knee sensors used earlier in this study. It consisted of a UHMWPE sensor pin with a spherical tip sliding on a flat stainless steel counterpart with an implant-grade finish. Hydrodynamic motions were applied to the contact with the laboratory's custom-designed multi-axis pin on disk wear testing machine with friction measuring capabilities. To relate the sensor pin's output to the mode of lubrication, a Stribeck curve was experimentally developed and was used to determine the lambda (λ) values specific to the UHMWPE on metal sliding point contact. It was found that the boundary lubrication regime existed for lambda < 1, mixed lubrication was present for 1 < lambda < 3.5, and fluid film lubrication existed for lambda > 3.5. Calibration equations relating the sensor's output to the film thickness were obtained using simple linear reciprocating motion, and it was found that in the boundary lubricated regime, the sensor's output was linearly related to the film thickness. It was also determined that for mixed and fluid film lubrication, the sensor's output was linear on a log-log scale to the film thickness; thus, there was a power-law relationship. Finally, the calibration equations were used to measure the lubricating film thickness of the UHMWPE contact in a clinically relevant, cross-path motion complete with sliding speeds relevant to the phases of gait where lubricating films can potentially exist for artificial knee joints. Two different loads were applied to the contact for these measurements. For the lightest load, mixed lubrication and HL were measured, and the film thickness varied from 2µm to over 10mm. With the higher load, the film thickness was seen to fall to 1µm for a small portion of the cycle, showing that the contact experienced the full range of lubrication modes from boundary to full hydrodynamic lubrication.

One of the most important facets to being a business owner is having the ability to give back to the community that has helped us succeed. Even before the official Milton & Goose launch in July of 2017, I knew that an overarching social responsibility would be part of our foundation. A year later, I have been able to pinpoint two incredible organizations to support in varying ways.
When I set out to find the right organizations to work with, I wanted to make sure they connected with the mission of Milton & Goose and were doing wonderful things for the people in their locales, states, and the United States as a whole.
As a company in the business of toy kitchens, there is an unwritten dedication to the importance of food, cooking, and making sure all children find sustenance both in terms of nutrition and creative outlets. That’s why supporting No Kid Hungry was a no-brainer.
No Kid Hungry has been dedicated to ending hunger for over 13 million children in America since 2010, and Milton & Goose is proud to donate monthly to that goal. Providing school breakfasts and afterschool meals, and summer meals served at schools and community centers; as well as food skills education, research and policy tools, and advocacy work all contribute to making sure children in America are well fed, each and every day.
Be sure to visit the No Kid Hungry website if you’re interested in learning more, or providing a monthly contribution.
We are also supporting Pilot Light Chefs, a nonprofit that has been providing nutritional education to kids for the last eight years. Lessons about food teach children about math, science, and agriculture, helping them to connect to the world around them.
Eight years ago, Chicago-based chefs Jason Hammel, Paul Kahan, Matthias Merges, and Justin Large, were inspired by Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move, Chefs Move to Schools” campaign. They’ve been working with public school leaders ever since, developing the Pilot Light program to help teachers “meet academic and nutrition requirements while creating an exciting and meaningful learning experience around food for their students,” as their website attests.
The education received by the children Pilot Light Chefs works with has a long-term impact, helping kids make healthy food decisions for the rest of their lives.
For more information on how you, too, can help this organization reach more children and more communities, visit their website.
I am so grateful Milton & Goose is able to give back to No Kid Hungry and Pilot Light Chefs just a year in as a company. I cannot wait to expand the list of organizations we’re supporting as we continue to grow.

Skullgirls development team, Lab Zero Games, are adding a new character to the game’s playable roster, and they need $150,000 to fund her development. The character in question, Squigly, is about one-third complete thus far, and if the funding goal is reached, she will be released as free DLC on all platforms for a limited time. Physical rewards are being offered to contributors of a certain level as well.
Siliconera got in touch with Lab Zero CEO, Peter Bartholow, to ask if he had any idea how much characters for other fighting games cost to develop on average.
By this, Bartholow means that 2/5 of the $150,000 goes toward simply acquiring the necessary funds and the release of the DLC itself. As the patch for Squigly will need to be tested and submitted on its own—as opposed to a bunch of characters being submitted together as part of the full game—this actually theoretically makes her more expensive to develop than the previous characters, since Lab Zero will be taking these costs on themselves.
So, the average Skullgirls character costs $200-250k to develop, but Lab Zero are asking just $150,000 for Squigly, even though she should theoretically cost more to develop, since they’re taking submission costs on by themselves. Why is that? Because the development staff took voluntary pay-cuts in order to increase the chances of her release, according to Bartholow.
Without the additional expenses, Squigly’s development costs could have been lowered even further, down to $90,000, according to Bartholow, who came up with the budget for the character himself. The additional $60,000 comes from QA testing, submission, contributor payment processing fees, and manufacturing physical rewards—the last four items on the budget breakdown provided above.
Should the Skullgirls community go above and beyond the $150,000 in contributions, and reach $375,000, Lab Zero games will create another character for the game—Big Band, who would be Skullgirls’ first male character. The budget for Big Band is $200,000—higher than Squigly’s $150,000.
You can keep track of and contribute toward the campaign to fund Squigly and Big Band’s development on the IndieGogo Skullgirls page.

The mountainous area of Norway called 'Jotunheimen' is named after the frost giants (Jotunns) of Norse mythology, aptly so as it encompasses the 23 highest mountains in Norway. I spent a week based at Spiterstulen, bagging peaks around the valley, before I spent two days hiking to the other end of Jotunheimen, Turtagrø. The icing on this 10 day cake of hiking was a climb up Store Skagastølstind, Norway's third largest peak.
Each colored line represents a day hike. Red is day 1, orange day 2, etc. The blue line is the beginning of my through hike to Turtrgrø later in the week. The colored dots are the highest peak of each day.
Traverses are fun - they're more exciting than just hiking up a mountain, and often require scrambling. Zoe, my younger sister was along for this one, and she did great despite her fear of heights. Unfortunately, and this will be a reoccurring theme of the next 10 days, the weather wasn't great. In fact, we were in the fog all day. At least it mostly didn't rain!
The ridge was beautiful, but I feel like I have to go back and do it again to actually enjoy what I know is a breathtaking view.
One section required you to edge along a ledge. Although the fog made the size of the drop on your left side hard to judge, it was far enough to make you very careful.
After ascending three 2000 meter peaks - Hellstuguhø, Nørdre Hellstugutind and Midtre Hellstugutind we dropped of the ridge on to the glacier and hike out.
Despite a dismal weather forecast, a hopeful group started up Styggehø, one of the most accessible peaks from Spiterstulen, in the sunshine.
Soon our shirts came off... The beginning of the Hellstugu ridge can be see in the upper right corner of the picture.
Later, to guide Hågen's dismay, it clouded over and shirts went back on.
Then I took a day of to rest my legs that had now climbed in excess of 2400 meters in two days, to return my sister to civilization, buy more food and pick up the Man Unit. Since he only had a 5 day vacation, we had to cram in as much hiking as possible - no more rest days!
We joined a group of friends up the trail to Norway's second largest mountain, Glittertind, but diverged from the beaten path and ended up on Vestre Glittertindoklse, a subtop on the same ridge as Glittertind.
After a relatively easy day on Glittertindoksla, we joined a group going up Norway's eighth highest mountain via a steep glacier - funfunfun!
The group heads up the valley to Djevelbreen(Devil's glacier).
The day again started nice by clouded over and started raining as sound as we sat down to eat lunch. Good way to keep your breaks short. We headed up the glacier and then steeply up a loose, rocky slope to the summit ridgeline.
The Man Unit, attached to me and 3 others by a rope, looks down the glacier we just came. In the distance, on the other side of the glacier valley, you can just see another group headed up the snow field on the other side. They took a slightly different route to the same top.
The reached the summit in the clouds. It was a fun hike, but I was still disappointed not to get the spectacular view I know is out there somewhere!
The climb up Galdhøpiggen, Norway's highest mountain, is usually undertaken on a well-trodden footpath known as 'the Highway' to some. We choose a more interesting route, joining a group headed across magnificent Svellnosbreen on the way up. A hard, two-hour hike of 600 vertical meters takes you to the mouth of the glacier, where it is of course obligatory to bath before donning crampons and a harness.
Then into the crazy glacier world!
Mirrored sunglasses are fun to take pictures of! You can see the rest of our group in the glasses.

There are concerns about the accuracy of EPA models.
The House Agriculture Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy and Forestry is holding a public hearing Thursday to review the impacts and burdens of the implementation of the Environmental Protection Agency's Total Maximum Daily Load for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
Congressman Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., says there are concerns the model is flawed and is creating yet another regulatory burden on states and rural communities.
"The TMDL is what EPA calls a pollution diet, it's a firm limit on the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment that can be discharged into the bay," Thompson said. "Several of the six states in the watershed have raised issues with the cost and regulatory burden of this process. There are great concerns over the accuracy of the models EPA has used to come up with their estimates for reductions and there are concerns that the EPA may disregard the states' plan and impose costly additional limits."
Thompson notes more areas could one day be impacted as the model the EPA is applying to the Bay could ultimately be applied along the Mississippi and in the Great Lakes region. For that reason he says the Agriculture Committee is closely monitoring this process and its effect on states, rural communities and agricultural producers.
Thompson says agriculture is one of the top industries in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed and so far has been disproportionately affected during the cleanup process. While he believes restoring and maintaining the health of the Bay is a worthwhile pursuit, Thompson says EPA must be fair and realistic with its process.

The project covering 186 km2, lies approximately 60 km west of the Éléonore mine. The Annabelle project is covered by the volcano-sedimentary rocks of the Opinaca geological subprovince.
The Annabelle project is located about 65km west of the Eastmain Resources Eau Claire project and approximately 40 kilometers west of Goldcorp Eleonore gold deposit, in Quebec, James Bay.
The large project is clearly under-explored, but always showed a strong mineral potential. The main reason of the limited work was due to the unfavorable economic climate of the past few years. The discovery potential is related to the greenstone belt geological settings covering the volcano-sedimentary sequences and intrusions of the Opinaca sub province.

Serious collectors know that many people have old cast iron pots inherited from a relative sitting in the back of the cabinet waiting to be brought out for a yard sale. Good cooks know that many of those same people spend good money trying to find pans that work as well as those in the back of their own cupboards. Identifying old cast iron pans requires some time and effort. Here's how to begin to decide which cookware to keep (and use) and which to put in the rummage sale.
Look for a maker's name and location. Griswold and Wagner are the two most sought-after brands of antique cast iron cookware, but many more companies made cast iron cookware, too. Fanner, Crusoe, Puritan, Columbus and other makers produced cast iron cookware in the shadows of the steel mills of the Monongahela and Ohio River valleys in Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio from the middle of the 19th century through the 20th century. Other early makers were generally scattered around the Midwest near the natural resources that created cast iron. Griswold pieces may also have their factory location, "Erie Pa." on the bottom of the pan. Wagner was located in Sydney, Ohio. Antique dealers may be able to provide information on other brands.
Look for patent data. Many makers patented cookware or novelty designs to show how modern their pieces were. Griswold Manufacturing Company was established in 1865 and was purchased by Wagner Ware in 1957. The Wagner Hollow Ware began in 1881 and became the Wagner Manufacturing Company in 1891. They become Griswold and Wagner in 1957, and in 1996 assumed the name that is stamped on most of their cookware, "Wagner Ware." Any patent dates should fall within the range of the maker's corporate identity. Some pieces may have a U.S. patent number rather than a date. The number will be preceded by the words "US Patent."
Check for size markings. Makers often mark pieces with numbers that correspond to size. This helps match skillets to tops and parts of multipiece items such as waffle, wafer and corn dog irons. The mark may not always correspond to the actual measurement of the piece. For instance, the skillet with lid pictured here is marked "8" but is actually 10 inches across.
Find any stock numbers. The Wagner Ware ashtray pictured here has a stock number of "1050" with a letter "c" beneath it. These numbers may refer to a catalog number. Reprint catalogs are available from American Culinary, successor company to Griswold and Wagner Ware, that can be used to identify pieces. David Smith's website, www.panman.com, carries reprints for Griswold, Wagner and Wapak hollowware.
Note any other numbers or markings, including piece names like "Dutch oven," "chef's skillet" or other descriptions. The cornbread mold pictured has only a "7S" mark on the back, possibly denoting that it is a seven-muffin plaque. These numbers are often unique to manufacturers (even the Griswold Company produced "unmarked" pieces) and were impressed in promotional or second-quality pieces. In all probability, only a collector or expert can decode them.
Check dealers and collectors club catalogs and websites to find markings that match the stampings on your pieces.
Putting a value on your pieces can be as easy as finding an identical piece at an antique mall or as involved as finding an expert to give you an appraisal. Search patiently and get as much information about cast iron cookware as you can before dealing with an antique or collectible dealer who might want to buy it.
Never dispose of a good old cast iron pan. Most old pans, even painted and rusted, are reclaimable, and many cooks swear by them as the best cookware available. "Newer" cast iron (after 1950) is considered inferior to the older, harder "black" cast iron and much of it is amazingly light.
As with any collectibles, cast iron (even Griswold or Wagner Ware) is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. A quick check on eBay will confirm that pieces that are over-priced by their owners draw few bids.

This design makes you feel as if you just stepped off a busy Parisian boulevard into the exquisite, hushed grand foyer of an old hotel, with elegant draperies and ornate moldings. The palette is fresh and crisp, in warm shades of slate grey, rich red, parchment ivory and a subtle, soft aqua. The motifs include this meandering ivy pattern, delicate floral sprays, scrolls, flowery wallpaper checks and stripes, botanicals, a floral tapestry print, graceful paisleys, script handwriting and engraved architectural prints that the Sisters say came from an antique book found at a flea market.

WARSAW — Almost exactly a year removed from the signing by Gov. Eric Holcomb to establish a fifth court in Kosciusko County, four candidates are finishing up the application process and awaiting news on who will be given the gavel of Kosciusko Superior Court 4.
The following is the second of four profiles on the four candidates for the judgeship, which is scheduled to begin adjudicating cases July 1.
Lindsey A. Grossnickle, a deputy prosecutor in Whitley County, has an extensive history related to the judiciary.
Grossnickle graduated from Alma College in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in English and political science and followed that up at Valparaiso University, where she earned her law degree in 2000. She is a registered family law mediator. In addition, she is a co-coordinator for Judicial Detention Alternatives Initiatives in both Kosciusko and Whitley counties.
Grossnickle said workload on the county’s current core of judges made the addition of another court a necessity.
Grossnickle said her law experience could play well into the role of the new court.
The Whitley County-based attorney added that as a judge, she will be responsible for settling cases when both parties coming before her have failed to find a resolution.
Grossnickle said if selected, she hopes to enjoy a lengthy tenure on the bench.

The compact sedan segment is growing at a rapid pace and no mass carmaker wants to be left out. Ford did make use of the sub-4m category by launching the EcoSport. It has done well for the company so far but that hasn't stopped them from introducing another all-new car. It is the second generation Figo with an added boot, the Figo Aspire. While the hatchback version will make it to India soon, it's the sedan that will first go on sale. We've just driven the Figo Aspire in Udaipur. Here's what we think of it.
The Figo Aspire features Ford's Kinetic design language that aims at offering a premium and dynamic theme. The face is smart thanks to the bold hexagonal chrome grille, the four slats are spaced well and the car does look quite premium. The bonnet is well sculpted and features a prominent bulge highlighted by two vertical lines running from the Ford badge until the windshield. The lines even blend with the depression on the roof and add a lot of character to the car.
The swooping headlamps are large and it looks like an evolved version of the current Figo unit. A lower grille neatly integrates with the bumper while the latter houses circular fog lamps as well and features a few definition lines.
The side can be bland but the headlamps and the prominent shoulder line do add some flavour. A chrome insert has been used in place of the indicator on the fender. Seen here is this is the top Titanium variant so it gets indicators mounted to the mirror, the lower variants will probably feature it on the fender. The window line raises as it flows to the rear and another line runs parallel to it on the body.
The 14-inch 8-spoke alloy wheels looks stylish and go well with the overall design. The wheel fills up the arch quite well. The tail lamps are visible from the side too. To keep the car under 4m in length, the rear end had to be shortened and it is quite obvious from this angle. Like most compact sedans today, the short rear end gives the side a disproportionate look and is more hatchback than sedan.
The rear is a smart design too. The D shaped tail lamps look striking but don't feature LED lighting. Like most of the compact sedans today, the Figo Aspire also gets a chrome strip that runs across the width of the car. However, the strip would have merged better with the reverse tail lamp section if it were slightly thicker. As mentioned before, the rear has been shortened. As a result, the bumper is almost fully flat. A black insert and a few creases on the bumper add to the styling.
Step inside and one is greeted by a stylish interior. The dashboard seems familiar because the design theme is similar to the EcoSport. The steering wheel, centre console and information screen look very similar to the EcoSport and Fiesta. There are dual-tone black/beige dash and beige seats and door pads. Depending on the variant, there's either gloss black or silver finished inserts.
Ford claims there are as many as 20 storage points inside the car. There's a storage point on the side of the dashboard that can be accessed when the door is open. Door mounted bottle holders are large and can accommodate more than one bottle if needed.
The seats are comfortable and even feature leather upholstery (first in segment). There is good support up front but the rear seats could have offered more support and could have been made larger. The rear kneeroom isn't best in segment but is still very impressive. The front seats have been scooped out to maximize room at the rear. Shoulder room isn't a lot, so three adults in the back can be a squeeze. The floor isn't fully flat too so it is good only for two adults. A rear armrest is also offered.
Boot space at 359 litres isn't as much as the Amaze or the Xcent but it is quite usable. The loading height is good and the boot is deep too.
The Figo Aspire is available with three engine options. A 1.5 TDCi diesel and two petrol engines (1.2-litre and 1.5-litre Ti-VCT). The diesel motor is from the EcoSport and Fiesta but has been tweaked to offer more power. The engine now produces 100PS and 215Nm of torque and is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. On the road, the engine feels linear and breathes well. There is not much turbo lag and there is a good surge of power when it's demanded. It is slightly noisy at idle and lower speeds but as the revs climb, the clatter settles and feels a lot more refined than a few of the other cars from this segment. Gear shifts are smooth too and the ratios are spaced out well, making full use of the impressive torque. The claimed fuel economy figure is an impressive 25.83kmpl.
The petrol 1.2 motor is a heavily tweaked engine seen in the current Figo hatchback. The engine now receives variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust sides, apart from other updates. The Ti-VCT (as it's called) engine produces 88PS of max power and 112Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The automatic transmission variant however gets the larger 1.5 Sigma petrol also seen in the EcoSport. The unit produces 112PS and 136Nm of max power and torque. This variant even features ESP, traction control and hill launch assist. The hill assist system basically prevents the car from rolling back by applying the brake for a few seconds. The claimed fuel economy figures are 18.16kmpl and 17kmpl for the 1.2 and 1.5 variants respectively.
The Figo Aspire is based on a modified Figo platform. The latter is essentially the older Fiesta without a boot and is known for its dynamics. The Figo Aspire seems to have carried forward this character and thus makes it one of the best handling cars in this segment. It features a new electric steering seen in the EcoSport and Fiesta that is a lot lighter in feel and can do with some more feedback. The chassis however is well balanced and the car is great fun to drive especially around corners. The 14-inch Apollo tyres are quite grippy too. It even rides well over bumpy and broken roads. In fact, it may be the best in segment too (we will confirm that very soon). There isn't much suspension noise and the car feels well planted.
Every car from this segment offers something unique. Ford has taken its time to enter the segment and has thus made sure the Figo Aspire offers a long list if features and equipment. The car will be available in four trim levels namely  Ambiente, Trend, Titanium and Titanium+. The Ambiente trim offers a dual tone interior, adjustable front and rear headrests, front power windows, tilt adjust steering, multi information display, keyless entry, electric boot release and driver and passenger airbags.
The Trend adds front fog lamps, gloss black elements, rear armrest, steering mounted controls, rear power windows, mobile phone dock and a Bluetooth stereo with four speakers. The Titanium trim also gets auto climate control, power fold mirrors, ABS with EBD and an adjustable driver seat. The Titanium+ is the fully loaded variant and it also gets segment first leather seats, the 4.2-inch information screen with the Sync feature, CD player, side and passenger airbags (very impressive and first in segment but passengers don't get grab handles), Ford MyKey (a programmable key that when used can limit speed and stereo volume level).
All trims will be available in seven different shades  Ruby Red, Sparkling Gold, Oxford White, Tuxedo Black, Deep Impact Blue, Ingot Silver and Smoke Grey. Optional accessories like illuminated scuff plates, rear parking sensors (should have been offered as standard), mirror mounted reverse camera and GPS, ambient lighting and shark fin antenna will also be available at Ford dealerships.
The Ford Figo Aspire arrives late to the party but has the potential to do well and appeal to a lot of compact sedan buyers. The car looks smart, is good on quality, drives well, offers powerful and efficient engines and most importantly, gets a long list of standard safety and comfort features. We expect Ford to also price the car well, more on par with the segment rivals. The Figo Aspire goes on sale in August.

“If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over 100 times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy. I’m fortunate to have realized those dreams.
Beckham has played soccer for two decades and floated to six teams. He was captain of the English team for six years and played in three World Cups. He made a name for himself with Manchester United, where he played 394 games and scored 85 goals.
Now that he has more time on his hands, David Beckham will be promoting and working with Adidas, UNICEF, Sky Sports, and growing soccer as a sport in China. Not to mention all of his underwear advertisements and successful cologne line.
I think the Beckhams will be just fine.

These climbing vines will get your yard noticed.
Searching for ways to set your landscape apart from your neighbors this spring and summer? Look no further than this list of fast growing vines. The beautiful flowers that accompany these vine plants are an added bonus that will take your garden to the next level.
The drought-resistant bougainvillea flowers are nothing short of stunning. The summer blooming plant produces orange, yellow, red, and purple flowers that thrive in lots of sunlight.
The breathtaking blossom is enough of a reason to add this passion flower to your garden—but the sweet smell that comes along with the opening is also a bonus. The blue crown variety will do best along a fence or trellis, and can grow up to 20 feet tall.
The distinctive pipe-shaped flowers explain the origins of this plant's name. The leaves on the vegetation are also interesting with a heart shape and deep purple color.
Hydrangea fans, take your obsession to the next level (or story) with this climbing vine, which can grow up to 50 ft. tall. You'll see this beauty produce pretty white flowers during the summer months and yellow leaves in the fall.
Anyone from beginners to longtime gardners can grow this easy vine, which produces bold red and orange flowers during the summer. You'll love this vine for its punchy blooms, which attract hummingbirds, and it's versatility (it can grow in sun, shade, and survive hot, cold, and even drought conditions).
Throughout this perennial's long bloom time, from mid-June through September, its trumpet-shaped blossoms can perfume your entire garden. Coral honeysuckle will twine around anything in its path, scaling a 10- to 15-foot trellis in a single season, and attract hummingbirds as well.
A night-blooming species of morning glory, this plant features fragrant white flowers that open from sundown to sunup, midsummer to early autumn—you can literally watch them unfurl at dusk. While the vine reaches heights of more than 15 feet, you'll want to sow several to achieve the lush effect above.
Wisteria is hardy and fast-growing, preferring moist, well-drained soil and sunny environs. It's at its best when it can climb up a wall, tree, or trellis, but it can also become very large (as high as 66 feet!).
This twining vine can grow 30 feet or more in height and the delicate flowers have a spicy, chocolatey fragrance.
Widely planted in California gardens, this fragrant evergreen vine is great on walls, garden posts, and trellises, but it can also be used as a groundcover.
If you need a quick cover, call on Virginia Creeper, a fast-growing vine that clings to walls and other surfaces. Its leaves turn brilliant colors in the fall.
Ideal for warmer areas where large-flowered climatis won't grow, this lovely vine produces brilliantly colored blooms.
A very vigorous clematis, this vine doesn't just grow tall (up to 30 feet in a few months); it also grows wide, ensuring full coverage. Consider its tiny white flowers, which bloom in late summer and early fall, a bonus. Oh, and did we mention that the plant tolerates most soil and sun conditions?
Though this bean is considered an edible in parts of Africa and Asia, American gardeners tend to prize it for purely ornamental reasons: With dark leaves, midsummer blossoms, and bean pods come fall, the annual offers three to four months' worth of interest, during which it can shoot up 10 to 15 feet.

3. "The Northridge earthquake struck 25 years ago in Los Angeles as almost a magnitude 7 that came at 4:00 in the morning. It's the biggest earthquake we'd had for many years. "It taught us a lesson that the freeways weren't up to snuff. An overpass fell, a number of them partially failed. The traffic was snarled for years. So, they've gone back and reinforced the highways, they've wrapped steel around the pillars and done a lot of other things. We hope the freeways will be better in the next earthquake. We saw that some construction techniques weren't working."
"We have a lot of buildings in LA and a lot of different places where earthquakes could hit. So we're probably going to get an earthquake like Northridge doing about that level of damage about every few decades. You know the buildings are getting build better but there's more people, there's more buildings, there's you know more intricate electronics and factories. So, my guess is you know we have kind of a constant level of danger being built better but there's more stuff and more people out there."
"We're just making a lot of incremental improvements. We're getting better ideas of the geology of the region. We're getting better ideas of how the energy is released in an earthquake. So, we're getting more refined ideas of the danger. And you know one of the improvements we have which is hard to tell the public is we're kind of shrinking the uncertainty, we are kind of more confident of what the hazards are and what the most emotion we're likely to see in particular places is and that's actually a big savings in cost, to not have to overbuild things but to have confidence we're building strong enough. So, a lot of what we do is aimed at making things more confident."
This week marks 25 years since a deadly earthquake struck Southern California's densely populated San Fernando Valley.
The state said at least 57 died in the magnitude 6.7 Northridge quake, but a study issued the following year put the death toll at 72, including heart attacks.
About 9,000 people were injured, and the damage costs were estimated at $25 billion.
Since Northridge there has been a push toward progress — sometimes frustratingly slow — on everything from making buildings safer to increasing society's overall ability to deal with seismic threats.

ISIL fighters captured the mainly ethnic Turkmen city of Tal Afar in northwestern Iraq overnight after heavy fighting on Sunday.
(BAGHDAD, Iraq) - The United States is contemplating talks with its arch-enemy Iran to support the Iraqi government in its battle with Sunni Islamist insurgents who routed Baghdad's army and seized the north of the country in the past week.
The stunning onslaught by militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant threatens to dismember Iraq and unleash all-out sectarian warfare across a crescent of the Middle East, with no regard for national borders that the fighters reject.
Joint action between the United States and Iran to help prop up the government of their mutual ally Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq's Shi'ite prime minister, would be a major turn of events after hostility dating to Iran's 1979 revolution, and demonstrates the urgency of the alarm raised by the lightning insurgent advance.
ISIL seeks a caliphate ruled on medieval Sunni Muslim precepts in Iraq and Syria, and is also fighting Syria's Iran-backed government. It considers all Shi'ites to be heretics deserving death and has boasted of massacring hundreds of Iraqi troops who surrendered to its forces last week.
ISIL fighters captured the mainly ethnic Turkmen city of Tal Afar in northwestern Iraq overnight after heavy fighting on Sunday, solidifying their grip on the north.
"The city was overrun by militants. Severe fighting took place, and many people were killed. Shi'ite families have fled to the west and Sunni families have fled to the east," said a city official who asked not to be identified.
Tal Afar is a short drive west from Mosul, the north's main city, which ISIL seized last week at the start of its push. Fighters swept through towns and cities on the Tigris before halting about an hour's drive north of Baghdad.
Iraq's army is holding out in Samarra, a Tigris city that is home to a Shi'ite shrine. A convoy traveling to reinforce the troops there was ambushed late on Sunday by Sunni fighters near the town of Ishaqi. Fighting continued through Monday morning.
U.S. President Barack Obama pulled out all American troops in 2011 and has ruled out sending them back, although he says he is weighing other military options, such as air strikes. A U.S. aircraft carrier has sailed into the Gulf.
A senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Sunday that Washington was considering making contact with Iran to find ways to aid the Baghdad government. Publicly, the White House said no such contacts had yet taken place.
The U.S. overture came a day after Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, a relative moderate elected last year, said Tehran would consider working with the United States in Iraq if it saw Washington was willing to confront "terrorist groups".
The only U.S. military contingent on the ground is the security staff at the U.S. embassy. Washington said on Sunday it was evacuating some diplomatic staff and sending about 100 extra marines and other personnel to help safeguard the facilities.
The sprawling fortified compound on the banks of the Tigris is the largest and most expensive diplomatic mission ever built, a vestige of the days when 170,000 U.S. troops fought to put down a civil war and mass sectarian cleansing that followed the 2003 U.S. invasion which toppled Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein.
Iraqis now face the prospect of a replay of that extreme violence, but this time without American forces to intervene.
The prospect of cooperation between the United States and Iran shows how dramatically the ISIL advance has redrawn the map of Middle East alliances in a matter of days.
Rouhani has presided over a gradual thaw with the West, including secret talks with Washington that led to a breakthrough preliminary deal last year to ease sanctions in return for curbs on Iran's nuclear program. But open cooperation against a mutual threat would be unprecedented.
Iraq is the only country closely allied to both the United States and Iran, but tentative past efforts by Tehran and Washington to cooperate there were fruitless. Tehran has longstanding ties to Maliki and the Shi'ite political parties that U.S.-backed elections brought to power after Saddam's fall.
Iran blames the United States and its Gulf Arab allies for stoking Sunni militancy in the region by backing the uprising against its ally Bashar al-Assad in Syria, where ISIL emerged as one of a dominant Sunni rebel group in a three year civil war.
Asked if Iran would now work with the United States against ISIL, Rouhani told a news conference on Saturday: "We can think about it, if we see America starts confronting the terrorist groups in Iraq or elsewhere.
"Where did ISIL come from? Who is funding this terrorist group? We had warned everyone, including the West, about the danger of backing such a terrorist and reckless group," he said.
ISIL fighters began their assault last week by capturing Mosul. They swept through other Sunni cities in the Tigris valley north of Baghdad, including Saddam's hometown Tikrit, where they captured and apparently massacred troops stationed at Speicher air base, once one of the main U.S. troop headquarters.
A series of pictures distributed on a purported ISIL Twitter account appeared to show gunmen from the Islamist group shooting dozens of men, unarmed and lying prone on the ground.
Captions accompanying the pictures said they showed hundreds of army deserters captured as they tried to flee the fighting. They were shown being transported in the backs of trucks, led to an open field, laid down in rows and shot by several masked gunmen. In several pictures, the black ISIL flag can be seen.
"This is the fate of the Shi'ites which Nuri brought to fight the Sunnis," a caption to one of the pictures reads.
ISIL said it executed 1,700 soldiers out of 2,500 it had captured in Tikrit. Although those numbers appear exaggerated, the total could still be in the hundreds. A former local official in Tikrit told Reuters ISIL had captured 450-500 troops at Speicher and another 100 elsewhere in Tikrit. Some 200 are believed to be held in Speicher to trade for jailed insurgents.
Power and running water were off in the city, leaving residents dependent on water being brought in by tanker trucks.
With ISIL's advance halted on the Tigris an hour's drive north of the capital, fighters also hold most of the Euphrates valley to the west, which they captured at the start of the year, bringing them to the gates of the city of 7 million.
Shi'ites, who form the majority in Iraq and are based mainly in the south, have rallied to defend the country, with thousands of volunteers turning out to join the security forces after a mobilization call by the top Shi'ite cleric.
Baghdad itself is divided between Sunni and Shi'ite neighborhoods and suffered intense street-fighting in 2006-2007. Peace never quite returned and districts are still surrounded by barbed wire and concrete blast walls.
ISIL emerged after Saddam's fall, fought against the U.S. occupation as al Qaeda's Iraq branch and broke away from al Qaeda after joining the civil war in Syria. It says the movement founded by Osama bin Laden is no longer radical enough.
Its advance in Iraq has been assisted by other Sunni Muslim armed groups, who have risen up against Baghdad because of what they consider repression from Maliki's Shi'ite-led government. Washington says Maliki must reach out to Sunnis to create a political coalition capable of reunifying Iraq.
Tareq al-Hashemi, a Sunni who was vice president until fleeing the country in 2012 after Maliki accused him of terrorism, said Maliki must go if the uprising is to end.
"What happened is an uprising by the Sunni Arabs in Iraq to confront oppression and marginalization," Hashemi told the BBC. "Resolving the conflict in Iraq comes through excluding Maliki from power."
The government's collapse in the north has also allowed forces of the ethnic Kurdish autonomous region to advance, seizing the city of Kirkuk and rural areas with vast oil reserves.
Residents in Tal Afar said Shi'ite police and troops rocketed Sunni neighborhoods before the ISIL forces moved in and finally captured the city overnight.
"The situation is disastrous in Tal Afar. There is crazy fighting and most families are trapped inside houses. They can’t leave town," a local official said on Sunday before the city was overrun. "If the fighting continues, a mass killing among civilians could result."

How can we improve the accuracy with which evidence and statistics are reported?
The Well Column of The New York Times recently suggested that too much exercise could be bad for your health based on the results of a study, the flaws of which Justin Wolfers eloquently explained in a subsequent issue of the Times. While this was a particularly embarrassing case of journalists giving more weight to a study than it deserved, it is hardly unique. We regularly hear or read that food stuff X (coffee, butter, red wine) is bad for our health, only to read some months or years later that a new study shows the same food is in fact good for us. This cycle of excitement and dissolution, whether it is about a new way to prevent cancer, reduce poverty, or improve children’s IQ is not healthy for the public’s faith in science or journalism.
Recently the Department of Communication at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (under the leadership of Gonzalo Saavedra, who opened the session) and J-PAL LAC brought together some of the leading journalists in Chile to discuss how journalists can improve their presentation of evidence and statistics. Paula Escobar-Chavarría moderated the session. My talk (slides available here) focused on the need for journalists, when reporting on a study, fact, or claim, to clearly distinguish between four different types of evidence: descriptive evidence; process evidence, correlations, and causal evidence. All could be newsworthy. Francisco Gallego, in response to a question about whether correlations should never be considered newsworthy, gave the example of how important it would be to report that wages were lower for women than men even if there was no way to identify that the relationship is caused by discrimination. The mistake would be to report a correlation in a way that suggests causation.
1. What type of claim is this: descriptive, process, correlation, or causal impact?
2. Does the type of evidence match the claim? Is the claim causal but the evidence only a correlation?
3. If the claim is descriptive, is the sample large and representative?
4. If the claim is causal (i.e., about impact), what is the counterfactual: How do we know what would have happened otherwise?
5. Are there reasons to think that those who participated in the program/ate a certain type of food/went to a type of school are different in other ways from those who did not?
How could a journalist make a story come alive and yet be true to the evidence? Telling individual stories was a powerful communication tool. Rather than interviewing a few (unrepresentative) people and drawing wider conclusions from those interviews, journalists could illustrate the findings of a representative and well-identified study by seeking out individuals whose story reflected the study’s findings.
The precise use of words is something journalists care about. Everyday words like impact, led to, cause, or the result of imply causal evidence. They should only be used when we know what would have happened otherwise. When reporting on a study that describes a correlation, it can also be helpful to draw attention to this fact and discuss why the correlation may not be causal. (I spent a frustrating thirty minutes stuck in traffic listening to an--admittedly hour-long--NPR show on the higher-than-average rate of suicides among those taking antidepressants without once hearing the moderator ask, “Could this correlation be due to the fact that those on antidepressants are depressed and thus more prone to suicide?” The side benefit of this episode was that my six-year-old son in the back seat got an impromptu lecture on the difference between correlation and causation, similar to that which I received from my mother at about the same age).
Journalists have an important role in holding politicians, NGOs, and others to account for the claims they make. Rather than take these claims at face value, journalists are in a perfect position to probe and ask: How do you know that your policy caused that change?
One of the participants at the event commented that journalists can be reluctant to say “we don’t know” even though sometimes that is the only accurate reading of the evidence. But despite the many challenges to improving the accuracy with which evidence and statistics are reported in the press, I came away energized and optimistic. Throughout the discussion, journalists openly discussed the profession’s (and often their own individual) failings, happily engaged on difficult questions, and said they would welcome more advice and input to improve their reporting. This group was a very select sample of the most serious journalists in Chile but I was left to wonder whether there would be the same appetite to engage on these issues in other countries. Are US journalists too proud to admit they need help?

2016 has been something of a halcyon year for Jarvis Smith. In a relatively short period of time, his band The Phoenix Rose has conquered all comers and been regularly playlisted in the US, giving him the perfect platform from which to educate the world on green issues in the process. A quick note for you though Jarvis – next time I ask you what you think your success is down to, you say it’s because God Is In The TV gave you Track Of The Day, ok?
The Phoenix Rose is one of the most environmentally aware acts on the circuit right now. Why is this so important to you?
The environment has to be the most important subject of our time. It simply means if we don’t clean up our acts we will become extinct. All the evidence and facts prove we are insignificant and these are turbulent times of climate change with the rise in temperatures, seas and the consumption of the Earth’s resources. I don’t feel there are enough artists particularly in music that are sharing what people can do to change, if they all reached out to their fanbases and offered one quick win that helped them reduce their immediate impact on resources, just imagine the impact it would have.
How do you convey these beliefs without sounding preachy?
I try not to preach; I just live and feel strong, proud and confident in the choices I have made. Everyone dislikes preaching, however people can relate to honesty and truth and mostly admire it one another. I spend my life inspiring people to other ways of living on the planet – it is super easy for anyone to change small things like their washing powder to a good earth friendly product, or buy 100% renewable energy instead of from nasty companies killing our planet. Also, I’m incredibly proud of how I live because of my children. I choose to live consciously for my family, so if that means spreading a message and getting people to mass mobilise for healthy change, which is so badly needed, then you know what, who CARES if people think it’s preachy? In my opinion the media has got us into this mess and the masses are preached to daily: Buy this, eat that, look like this, wear that. Now that’s preachy! At least mine’s helpful. If you don’t like it don’t listen. I’m only reaching out to people already on the path and being an artist for them.
People like Sting get a bit of a bad rap for strongly airing their (admittedly valid) environmental concerns on a regular basis, so how do you avoid such criticisms?
To date I’ve never come across actual criticism about the environmental work I do, partly because I don’t mind debate and also accept everyone’s views even if they are not mine. Also the world over knows what I’m saying is true. I think Sting has a certain air about him that can come across as arrogant, particularly when he tested the market with his environmental views. Personally I would have run with that kickback and become stronger and much more vocal; he just seemed to fritter away. He will have had his reasons for that, Annie Lennox did the same. I have only ever lived music underwritten by environmental change since day one, so really it’s my USP, my calling card. My art is empowered by nature and spirituality, the earth and love, so I’m living it, not trying to use it for promotion, it just is, you know what I mean?
You have close ties with Junior Marvin from The Wailers. What have you learnt from Junior, by performing and working with him? What does he bring to the table?
Junior is the most incredible and humble artist I know. He never takes credit for his genius and always, with complete humility, speaks of what he learnt from Bob Marley. Junior wrote probably some of the most famous guitar riffs of all time, songs that move people in helping them to be reminded of love and freedom. He instilled in me what I already knew, that songs like ours are for the people and not to be owned. They came from a higher place and with humility we can deliver these songs, by being the vehicle for them. That’s the kind of artist I hope to fully embody over time. His experience and wisdom musically was such a gift for our song. I appreciate Junior beyond words.
Tell me a little about the Channel 4 show you appeared on, Dumped.
Well that was where all the environmental stuff opened up for me back in 2007. I was invited to go onto the show because I was a hippy at heart. Out of 11 people, I was asked by the researchers – all the others had to apply. In a way, the Gods served this experience up for me to learn what it would be like when a natural disaster hit a town. No water, no power, no shelter, things we take for granted. The show taught me how to survive in these conditions, but more importantly it taught me the damage we were doing. Most memorable and horrid experience, (beside not being able to sleep because of the rancid smell of the dump) was the local dustbin truck after a morning collection turned up and we had to go through the rubbish and decide what could be recycled, we had to sort through the mess. Within 20 minutes I felt nauseous and had a horrible headache, the hangover kind and felt toxic. It was a massive wake up call, if this is what we are putting into the Earth, then no wonder the planet is speaking back to us saying stop killing me. We are killing the very thing that gives us life! Absolutely crazy!
What is the main purpose of The Phoenix Rose? I mean, what do you want people to take from your music, above all?
Most of my songs are about experiences or possibilities in how life has been served. Like many people, my childhood was tough. It made no sense, and music gave me a vibration and frequency I could relate to, just like a medicine. I was so lucky to have Reggae all around me as a child, lovers rock , dub and the amazing Bob Marley with all the culture too. West Indians have a spirited way so different to the reserved English culture of my mother’s side. So I was able to get through my difficult childhood with the bounce and spirit of black culture, what a gift!
The new single is called ‘Is This Luv?‘, clearly a reference to the legendary frontman. What IS “luv”?
Ah, Love or Luv is the most simple and powerful experience on Earth, not the Hollywood BS, but the kind of love that permeates through our hearts and skin and touches others in their hearts, the kind of love that we express and feel when we are truly being human beings! It can only be felt, and once felt shared and once shared, lived. It’s cryptic because everyone will feel this differently. Our single holds the question, “what is love to you?”. Have you ever asked yourself and not engineered the answer, just felt it? That is the start of feeling love.
You became a Reiki Master. What drove your desire to achieve such a thing?
Ah man, I had gone off the rails. I put together a girl group, got them signed to Jive Records at the time of Britney, N-Sync and R Kelly. It went completely to my head, I was on drugs and drink and more drugs and my body just gave up. I needed to find something, a call for help. A great party buddy told me about Reiki (Universal Energy) and said I should try it. On my second session I felt the biggest rush of ecstasy ever and wow was I hooked. It was like a natural high, no comedowns and it lasted for days. So I explored the power of transforming energy and shifting consciousness, and became a Reiki Master. I also studied with a Shaman through yoga and sacred sound for over 10 years. These skills are the backbone to my music.
The Phoenix Rose has really taken off over the past 12 months. What do you put that down to, and how much, potentially, do you think you can achieve?
The songs I have written have to be lived to fully invoke their message, I don’t think I was ready to be out there singing them and speaking about them before but I’m ready now which is why perhaps in just 6 months we have grown massively. I’m ready, the masses are ready and if you look at pop music there is hardly any out there like ours. It’s a fusion of different cultures, sounds, rhythms, words and song that enliven the consciousness with truth, helping us to remember what we already know (but may have forgotten), sacred music all wrapped up into a recognised pop reggae tune. Also, I don’t know anyone who dislikes reggae, it is a style that reaches almost every heart and soul. Maybe it’s the sound most natural to the way we could all live. A new or ancient way of being perhaps?
What would be the absolute pinnacle of your career, if it happened?
You know, sharing the stage with Junior Marvin is as close to my highlight as I could get. When he came to our studio the very next day after leaving the Wailers, having fronted them since Marley died it was a miracle. I know the energy of Marley was with me when I wrote certain songs, and Junior calling my producer whilst in our studio saying ‘where are you?’ and turning up the very next day and recording on ‘Is This Luv’ and ‘Planet‘ with those fully recognised guitar solos was the ultimate confirmation for me that what I believed to be true was in fact true. So being an artist, I must continue to drive the message of Luv, Unity and Freedom through music. There is no other option.
How do you manage to write love songs that don’t make us wince from the sappiness?
Everyone has had some experience of pain in some way, shape or form, it’s the human condition we all experience. I believe the loss we all feel in our hearts is the loss from our Spirit or Source, and then we have break ups and death and feel more loss. Most love songs are written from a tiny experience of love, what we get from one another, a taste or a peek over the wall if you like, but not a fully embracing overwhelming feeling. My songs are about the possibility of ‘Love’, a love that is honest and true; it’s a feeling that fully and unconditionally embodies an experience called LOVE. Remember, these songs come from a place higher than my limited life experience, they come from a place where love is the natural state of being-ness, with no agenda.
So what you are hearing is an honest expression of Love, not bound by a personal human experience but full of infinite possibility. That is true ‘LUV’.
What comes next, in terms of The Phoenix Rose?
You know, this part I have no control over, so its the most exciting, fun and challenging bit. Our new video for ‘Is This Luv’ is only just hitting TV and Music Video Channels this week, we have been supported massively in America with TV channels like AXS TV for the first single ‘Destination’ where the video is shown weekly in 53 million homes, we have 21 regional UK radio stations playing the new song, 35 specialists, Radio 2 have played it a few times and FB, Twitter and Instagram are growing daily, so if this continues we will go on tour next year and play as many festivals as possible. I hope to get to LA and New York and play some key venues, and then next spring we will drop our next single. The album is available everywhere now and our label GYPSYPOP Records are doing a great job in promoting us in America.
And back in dear old Blighty?
The UK is a tough market because all the main producers and decision makers for TV and Video work directly with UK labels, so with us being signed in America with an ‘indie’, it makes life much more difficult. If we get the people’s support then the channels and stations will have to take notice. We just went to number 30 in the MTV Popular music charts online, 5 places above Kanye West which made me smile, and Huffington Post have interviewed me which will take us up a level or two. We are competing with artists signed to major labels and still getting noticed, so it tells me our music is resonating as a soundtrack for a global shift that is so desperately needed. Bring it on.
The Phoenix Rose’s self titled debut album is out now on GYPSYPOP records.

Our research on Parallel Embedded Systems focuses on streaming computations on heterogeneous many-core embedded systems. The design and implementation of such systems needs a coordinated effort to co-develop both the hardware architectures and the application development environment. Our research objective is to develop a programming framework that will improve programmer productivity through the use of domain specific languages while still allowing program portability between a multitude of heterogeneous architectures using many-core virtual machine concepts and architecture description languages. With regard to hardware we focus on how parallel heterogeneous architectures should be organized, designed, and evaluated, as well as how they should interface with the application development tools and frameworks.
