GMC FOOTBALL: Week 7 Notebook and new Top 10 rankings
The Colonia High School football team, with a win over New Brunswick on Friday, will clinch the Greater Middlesex Conference White Division championship and could secure the top seed for the North 2 Group IV playoffs.
The Patriots, who own a 7-0 record, have regular-season games left against the Zebras and South Plainfield.
"We are trying to get the undefeated regular season, especially since no Colonia team has ever been able to do that before," Colonia running back Sam Pero, the division's leading rusher, said.
The Patriots, who won't allow themselves to become overconfident, can use recent history to help guide them.
Colonia, the No. 3 seed in the section last year, was shocked by No. 6 seed Mendham, 47-26, to end its season in the opening round of the playoffs.
"We think about that Mendham game all the time," Pero said. "We remember how we felt when we lost to them but we're going to do better this year."
Tyree to focus on hoops
Junior Breein Tyree, who will focus his energies on basketball, where he is a major Division I recruit, is no longer part of the St. Joseph football program, according to St. Joseph Athletics Director Jerry Smith.
Tyree was moved from quarterback to wide receiver this season to allow the Falcons to maximize their athleticism.
Javon Hicks, who replaced Tyree at quarterback, injured his knee in Friday night's loss at Colonia. Hicks was carted off the field.
Brian Steigler, one of seven sophomores to see action for St. Joseph in the game, replaced Hicks.
Tyree, a guard, led St. Joseph to the Tournament of Champions title on the hardwood.
NJ Advance Media recruiting analyst Todderick Hunt has previously reported that Michigan State, Michigan, Miami, N.C. State, Old Dominion and Syracuse were among the colleges who sent coaches to St. Joseph to inquire about Tyree as a football prospect.
Vikings' Johnson questionable
South Brunswick quarterback Amir Johnson, who injured his ankle in an Oct. 17 win over Monroe, may not be ready to play in Friday's Home News Tribune Game of the Week against Piscataway.
"He's definitely not done (for the season)," said South Brunswick coach Joe Goerge. "He'll definitely be back for the playoffs. It's probably a little bit of a longshot for next Friday. It's a day-by-day thing.
"He saw the orthopedic (on Oct. 24) and the guy said it's getting better. I'm just being realistic. And then we have a bye week, it will be another extra week for him. We have to be smart with that. I know it's killing (Johnson) not to be out here. But he's a tough kid, he hangs in there, and we'll go on."
Falcon becomes a Falcon
Former St. Joseph wide receiver/defensive back Matt Van de Sande, who played in the team's season opener against South Plainfield before transferring to his native Monroe, made his debut for his new team on Friday night.
Both schools, ironically, are nicknamed the Falcons.
Van de Sande, who sat 30 days under NJSIAA transfer rules before taking the field, recorded five tackles and broke up a pass in Monroe's win over Howell. He carried the ball once for 34 yards and caught a 5-yard pass.
"He's a good player," Monroe coach Chris Beagan said. "He's very versatile, very coachable. He certainly adds to our versatility and depth. He's certainly a great addition to our team."
Van de Sande's older brother, Jeff, a senior, also plays for Monroe. Their younger brother, Russ, is a member of the freshman team.
Backup duty
A week after backup signal callers for South Brunswick and Carteret led their respective teams to victory following injuries to starters, Middlesex's Michael Cresitello found himself in a similar spot on Saturday.
Cresitello led all Middlesex rushers with 71 yards on 11 carries and completed 3 of 5 passes for 89 yards while guiding the Blue Jays to a 26-0 victory over Keansburg.

Liam Buckley has told his St Patrick's Athletic players that they can't afford to drop their standards as they keep up their pursuit of the chasing pack in the title race.
The Saints are the in-form team of the league right now, as last week's 2-0 defeat of Shamrock Rovers was their eighth successive win in the league, a club record. While the talk around the camp backs off from a title challenge, stressing that European qualification and further success in the cups - Pats are in the League Cup final and face Cork City in the FAI Cup later this month - are the priorities, on current form Pats will be contenders for Premier Division honours.
But stretching that winning run to nine games against Bray Wanderers tonight is not a given - Bray have turned their season upside down with a run of five wins in six games, their return of five clean sheets in that time even more impressive.
Apart from Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers, Bray are the only side who have beaten the Saints this season and that's a reason for Buckley to urge caution at home to Mick Cooke's side tonight.
"Bray were very good last week against Drogheda and are on a good run of form themselves so this will be a tough game. Mick Cooke is doing well since he's come in so we need to apply ourselves properly and look to put the same performance or better than last Friday against Rovers," said Buckley.
The Saints have second-placed Cork City in their sights and while all eyes will be on Cork's meeting with Shamrock Rovers in Dublin on Monday, City boss John Caulfield is not making any assumptions about tonight's game at home to bottom side Limerick, who have been revived by back to back wins, martin Russell's side now looking to close the gap on Sligo Rovers.
"Even before the two wins they have had, they drew with Rovers and drew with Dundalk, so they have shown that they are a difficult side to play against," says Caulfield.
"They have had two good wins, you can sense that they now feel they can avoid relegation, so it will be a difficult game for us."

When we think about marketing — the first, and last thought should be your website, your website should be the place your marketing starts. The place you convert a prospect to a sale. Yet so many business owners I talk with don't have managed web hosting. They hate their website hosting provider, can't reach them, or simply can't get a call back. Their websites are being mis-managed and in many cases are literally being held hostage by their web host. Now all this would be bad enough if what the web host was providing was free, but the reality is, you're paying for this service (or lack of service)! And more often than not — paying A LOT! And that's not fair.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, what many business owners are getting for their money isn't a completely managed web hosting package. Sure, the website is up on a server, displaying to the world, however that's about it. There is little to no optimization for loading speed, non-existent brute force and malware injection monitoring. Limited to no backup service, and absolutely no plugin/theme/core upgrade service. (Did you know that if your website takes more than 7 seconds to load you will lose visitors and search engine ranking? Find out how fast your website is here.)
Worse yet, many business owners try their hand at self-hosting their own website to save costs. And while it's true that technically anyone can host a website on a service like GoDaddy, what they are giving up is a technical understanding of the challenges that go into managed web hosting. The pitfalls, the secrets, and the necessary elements that go into facilitating the website hosting connection. In other words, keeping the website "up" and "running". They're trading a little cash for inconsistent backup schedules, intermittent upgrades (the SUREST way to make sure that your website invites malware), and for their own understanding of how to keep the website up and running. What's most worrying — we're not talking about tech-savvy individuals or hobby sites. We're talking about individuals who know nothing about hosting a website and the face your business shows the world.
What everyone wants/needs out of their business website is for it to be up, functioning, and free of malware. When it's not, it's a reflection on your business. And with all the time, energy, and money we spend each day trying to create a business with a solid reputation, your website should be helping — not hurting. There is a solution though…managed web hosting
Enter Managed Web Hosting
The good news is, for most websites using open source software (WordPress, for instance), there are choices in Managed Web Hosting. And there are GREAT hosts out there. Yes, it will cost you more than the bargain-basement providers, but remember, we're not talking about a hobby website. We're talking about your business website…one of the most important assets for your business. It's your connection to your community, the world, and your next client. Rather than spend another penny on Yellow Pages advertising, spend the $50 a month that it will take to make sure your website is managed appropriately. That your website is a good representation of your business, and that you have a website hosting provider that will call you back in a timely manner. That your website is up, safe, backed up, and FAST. (Full disclosure: Paradux Media Group offers WordPress Managed Web Hosting for Businesses, but there are lots of great managed web hosting providers out there, do your research and choose well.)
What is Managed Web Hosting?
Managed Web Hosting occurs when you, the business owner, outsource the management and hosting of your website to a reputable business that takes care of the server setup, server management, website backups, website upgrades, defending against malware, and generally looking after all the technical aspects of your websites. In a managed web hosting situation, you have the freedom and ability to access and add content to your website, but you don't have to worry about it being there when you want it. Managed web hosting provides the piece of mind that is critical for a business website.
Once you get control of your website with managed web hosting, you'll be able to launch your latest campaign with your website, drive traffic to a landing page on the site, track your sale's progress by tracking the hits to your landing page, and close the deal online — that's smart and effective marketing.

In a world where everything is available right at your fingertips, it seems normal to consult the internet for a training plan to prepare for an upcoming race. However, these programs are cookie cutter methods based on norms that don't take into consideration the uniqueness of the individuals that use them. So what does proper coaching offer that a run-of-the-mill program doesn't?
"With proper coaching, an athlete just might discover the best version of themselves, or they might start to let go of all those heavy expectations that they carry around. And through this process they will learn more about themselves. Proper coaching allows an athlete to make clear choices and carve out a path to where they want to go. Proper coaching builds the bridge between who the athlete is today, and who they will be. Proper coaching filters and flows into every area of an athlete's life so that all of the practicing, resting, recovering, training, racing, and dreaming is purposeful. With proper coaching, we grow and get better." – Kate Gustafson, Mile2Marathon Coaching.
Not only do coaches provide one-on-one coaching, they usually form a group of athletes that can train together. This not only ensures that the athletes are provided guidance, but they're also supplied with a team that gives a team-like dynamic in a very solo sport. This community supports, pushes, and enhances those who are involved.
The words of Coach Kate from Mile2Marathon in Vancouver eloquently explains the benefit of having a coach that can guide an athlete on their running journey. Having someone understand the ebbs and flows of the athlete's life, commitments, vices, and dreams is crucial. Accountability to a coach, to one's own goals, and to the betterment of one's skills, is something that a generalized program from the internet won't offer. A coach can help make the solitude of training become a camaraderie, through the rapport a coach-athlete relationship cultivates.

Alright cue the theme music and let's get on with this!
This episode was actually really good! One of my favorites so far!
Magnus and Valentine switched bodies, which kind of makes sense after the last episode and it's something I didn't see coming.
Alec doesn't like Sebastian.... it seems he doesn't like very many new comers at all. I guess he has to warm up to them. Sounds like my little sister ha ha.
I hate how Clary feels useless without her ruins. It's sad that she's willing to be a lab rat just to feel like she is worth something. She shouldn't feel that way. She could always just train more and be a badass shadowhunter.
Valentine/Magnus got Dot to help with his powers. She's not the brightest star in the sky. She even commented saying he sounded like Valentine but just shrugged it off and helped him I'm assuming.
Izzy seems to be doing a lot better now. I'm happy to see that. I was missing this Izzy a lot. The druggie Izzy wasn't as fun though it was nice to see her character arc. She's coming a long way.
I feel bad for Alec in this episode. I often feel bad for Alec, I've noticed. He's so confused over Valentine/Magnus and who could blame him? With how tricky Valentine is, one can never really be too sure.
Okay, my favorite part of the whole episode is the line about how hard it would be to be a Herondale and how they are treated like royalty. It was also very heavy handed.
We also get a cute Sizzy moment and a pretty heat filled Clace moment that actually didn't make me want to throw up. Making the actors are working on their chemistry. Which I am all for!
Jace has been outed as a Herondale. They are playing so many card in just season 2... I know they are going way off the books but if they use all the ideas now... then it will just be whatever the showrunners come up with and that might lead to more things like the shape shifting ruin....
I thought I was going to hate Sebastian but I actually really like him. I like that he helped Clary with her power, even though it was harsh it worked! They even got Valentine back into his cell. Seems like everything in this episode wrapped up nicely with a little bow on top.
Also.... he hit on his sister. Just saying.

Democrat Phil Murphy Wins New Jersey Governor's Race
TRENTON, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) – New Jersey voters have chosen Democrat Phil Murphy to succeed outgoing Gov. Chris Christie.
Murphy faced off with Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno in the race to replace the incumbent.
ELECTION RESULTS: New York | New Jersey
PHOTOS: Election Day 2017
In his victory speech, Murphy said he was "extremely humbled, yet grateful and proud."
"The days of division are over," he said "We will move forward together."
The 60-year-old former Goldman Sachs executive served as President Barak Obama's ambassador to Germany but has never held public office. He campaigned on a promise to increase funding for public schools and pensions by raising taxes on the wealthy and legalizing and taxing marijuana.
"It won't be easy and it certainly won't be overnight, but let there be no doubt: Starting here, starting now, starting with us, New Jersey is coming back!" he said.
Murphy criticized the current administration.
"I chose to run for governor on a belief that New Jersey's best days are before us. That our future is unlimited. And that we have been failed by leadership, which forgot what it meant to dream big," he said. "We will rebuild our state from the bottom up and the middle out, and we'll ask those at the very top to do their fair share. That means a higher minimum wage, equal pay for equal work."
He also said his victory sends a message to the nation: 'We are better than this.'
"With Donald Trump in the White House, Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, polluters running the EPA, zealots heading the Department of Education, and Steve Bannon holding Republicans in Congress hostage, governors will have never mattered more," he said.
In her concession speech, Guadagno congratulated Murphy and called it a "great race."
"We left no stone unturned and we would not have done it any differently," she said.
She added that while she may have lost the battle, the war has just begun.
"Never forget what we were fighting for here. We were fighting for our families, and we will continue that fight for lower taxes and a safer New Jersey," she said. "This is not the end. This is the beginning of a good fight. We will keep up that fight."
Throughout her campaign, Guadagno stood against any tax increase and focused almost entirely on her promise to lower property taxes. Her key platform was a so-called "circuit breaker plan," giving property tax relief to middle class homeowners.
Christie said he voted for his lieutenant governor, adding the election was not about him.
"If Kim wins, it's not an affirmation of my eight years. And if Phil Murphy wins, it's not a rejection of my eight years," he said.
Guadagno served as Christie's lieutenant governor for eight years. She tried distancing herself from him in the race, but some think his low approval rating and the 'Bridgegate' scandal haunted her campaign, CBS2's Jessica Layton reported.
Murphy will replace Christie in January. He said planning for the future starts Tuesday night.

Photo by myself in front of City Hall, on Duane Street.
It's been extremely humid and rainy here in New York. Above, a recent downpour.
Thunderstorms have been sweeping the region. The subway platforms are sweltering. On the sidewalks, you seriously feel like you're in a steam room.
I don't see too many men wearing suits to work these days. If they do, I'm sure they take a cab to work and have beautiful skin.

Author: Jean Haus
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Publication: June 26th, 2014
Naomi Porter was once witty, fun, and outgoing, but she has scratched outgoing off the list, along with men. She has a mediocre tech job in fabulous New York, a large smut book collection, and awesome friends, both tangible and in an online gaming community. She just doesn't date. A future filled with cats and housedresses beats having her heart broken again.
But Naomi still likes men, even kind of stalks—mostly fantasizes about—a gorgeous one at work during lunch.
Her best friend, Kara, is determined that Naomi will be outgoing again. When Kara finds out who, as in a notorious playboy, Naomi is stalking at lunch, she plans to break Naomi of her lunchtime habit and bring her back into the real world. It's just going to take a bit of deception.
Between all the deceiving, fangirling, and bumbling, Naomi might not be able to resist the temptation of turning her seven-month fantasy into reality. And really, so what if he's a playboy or a demanding jerk? Her fantasies don't include love or even like, just a bed or a couch or the back seat of a limo…
Reality might be just what she needs.
*A sexy romantic comedy intended for audiences 18+

SPARK Overview
This tutorial is an introduction to the SPARK programming language and its formal verification tools. You need not know any specific programming language (although going over the Introduction to Ada course first may help) or have experience in formal verification.
For some of the sample code presented, you'll be able to compile and run the program and/or run the formal verification tool on the program. These are available through the buttons labelled:
Run: compile the code with assertions enabled and run the executable produced.
Examine: perform the flow analysis stage of formal verification
Prove: perform the proof stage of formal verification (which includes flow analysis)
You can edit the sample code, so you can modify it and rerun the tools to see the effect of your changes on the compilation or analysis. Use the Reset button to restore the example to its initial version.
What is it?
SPARK refers to two different things:
a programming language targeted at functional specification and static verification, and
a set of development and verification tools for that language.
The SPARK language is based on a subset of the Ada language. Ada is particularly well suited to formal verification since it was designed for critical software development. SPARK builds on that foundation.
Version 2012 of Ada introduced the use of aspects, which can be used for subprogram contracts, and version 2014 of SPARK added its own aspects to further aid static analysis.
What do the tools do?
We start by reviewing static verification of programs, which is verification of the source code performed without compiling or executing it. Verification uses tools that perform static analysis. These can take various forms. They include tools that check types and enforce visibility rules, such as the compiler, in addition to those that perform more complex reasoning, such as abstract interpretation, as done by a tool like CodePeer from AdaCore. The tools that come with SPARK perform two different forms of static analysis:
flow analysis is the fastest form of analysis. It checks initializations of variables and looks at data dependencies between inputs and outputs of subprograms. It can also find unused assignments and unmodified variables.
proof checks for the absence of runtime errors as well as the conformance of the program with its specifications.
Key Tools
The tool for formal verification of the SPARK language is called GNATprove. It checks for conformance with the SPARK subset and performs flow analysis and proof of the source code. Several other tools support the SPARK language, including both the GNAT compiler and the GNAT Studio integrated development environment.
A trivial example
We start with a simple example of a subprogram in Ada that uses SPARK
aspects to specify verifiable subprogram contracts. The subprogram, called
Increment, adds 1 to the value of its parameter
The contracts are written using the Ada aspect feature and those shown specify several properties of this subprogram:
The SPARK Global aspect says that
Incrementdoes not read or write any global variables.
The SPARK Depend aspect is especially interesting for security: it says that the value of the parameter
Xafter the call depends only on the (previous) value of
Postaspects of Ada specify functional properties of
Incrementis only allowed to be called if the value of
Xprior to the call is less than
Integer'Last. This ensures that the addition operation performed in the subprogram body doesn't overflow.
Incrementdoes indeed perform an increment of
X: the value of
Xafter a call is one greater than its value before the call.
GNATprove can verify all of these contracts. In addition, it verifies
that no error can be raised at runtime when executing
The Programming Language
It's important to understand why there are differences between the SPARK and Ada languages. The aim when designing the SPARK subset of Ada was to create the largest possible subset of Ada that was still amenable to simple specification and sound verification.
The most notable restrictions from Ada are related to exceptions and access types, both of which are known to considerably increase the amount of user-written annotations required for full support. Backwards goto statements and controlled types are also not supported since they introduce non-trivial control flow. The two remaining restrictions relate to side-effects in expressions and aliasing of names, which we now cover in more detail.
No side-effects in expressions
The SPARK language doesn't allow side-effects in expressions. In other
words, evaluating a SPARK expression must not update any object. This
limitation is necessary to avoid unpredictable behavior that depends on
order of evaluation, parameter passing mechanisms, or compiler
optimizations. The expression for
Dummy below is non-deterministic due to
the order in which the two calls to F are evaluated. It's therefore not
legal SPARK.
In fact, the code above is not even legal Ada, so the same error is generated by the GNAT compiler. But SPARK goes further and GNATprove also produces an error for the following equivalent code that is accepted by the Ada compiler:
The SPARK languages enforces the lack of side-effects in expressions by
forbidding side-effects in functions, which include modifications to either
parameters or global variables. As a consequence, SPARK forbids functions
out or
in out parameters in addition to functions
modifying a global variable. Function
F below is illegal in
SPARK, while Function
Incr might be legal if it doesn't modify any
global variables and function
Incr_And_Log might be illegal if it
modifies global variables to perform logging.
function F (X : in out Integer) return Integer; -- Illegal
function Incr (X : Integer) return Integer; -- OK?
function Incr_And_Log (X : Integer) return Integer; -- OK?
In most cases, you can easily replace these functions by procedures with an
out parameter that returns the computed value.
When it has access to function bodies, GNATprove verifies that those
functions are indeed free from side-effects. Here for example, the two
Incr and
Incr_And_Log have the same signature, but only
Incr is legal in SPARK.
Incr_And_Log isn't: it attempts to update
the global variable
No aliasing of names
Another restriction imposed by the SPARK subset concerns aliasing. We say that two names are aliased if they refer to the same object. There are two reasons why aliasing is forbidden in SPARK:
It makes verification more difficult because it requires taking into account the fact that modifications to variables with different names may actually update the same object.
Results may seem unexpected from a user point of view. The results of a subprogram call may depend on compiler-specific attributes, such as parameter passing mechanisms, when its parameters are aliased.
Aliasing can occur as part of the parameter
passing that occurs in a subprogram call. Functions have no side-effects in
SPARK, so aliasing of parameters in function calls isn't problematic; we
need only consider procedure calls. When a procedure is called, SPARK
verifies that no
out or
in out parameter is aliased with
either another parameter of the procedure or a global variable modified in
the procedure's body.
Move_To_Total is an example where the possibility of aliasing
wasn't taken into account by the programmer:
Move_To_Total adds the value of its input parameter
Source to
the global variable
Total and then resets
Source to 0. The
programmer has clearly not taken into account the possibility of an
aliasing between
Total and
Source. (This sort of error is
quite common.)
This procedure itself is valid SPARK. When doing verification,
GNATprove assumes, like the programmer did, that there's no aliasing
Total and
Source. To ensure this assumption is valid,
GNATprove checks for possible aliasing on every call to
Move_To_Total. Its final call in procedure
violates this assumption, which produces both a message from GNATprove
and a runtime error (an assertion violation corresponding to the
expected change in
Total from calling
Move_To_Total). Note
that the postcondition of
Move_To_Total is not violated on this
second call since integer parameters are passed by copy and the
postcondition is checked before the copy-back from the formal
parameters to the actual arguments.
Aliasing can also occur as a result of using access types (pointers in Ada). These are restricted in SPARK so that only benign aliasing is allowed, when both names are only used to read the data. In particular, assignment between access objects operates a transfer of ownership, where the source object loses its permission to read or write the underlying allocated memory.
Ownership_Transfer is an example of code that is legal in Ada but
rejected in SPARK due to aliasing:
After the assignment of
X to
Y, variable
X cannot be used anymore
to read or write the underlying allocated memory.
For more details on these limitations, see the SPARK User's Guide.
Designating SPARK Code
Since the SPARK language is restricted to only allow easily specifiable and verifiable constructs, there are times when you can't or don't want to abide by these limitations over your entire code base. Therefore, the SPARK tools only check conformance to the SPARK subset on code which you identify as being in SPARK.
You do this by using an aspect named
SPARK_Mode. If you don't
explicitly specify otherwise,
SPARK_Mode is Off, meaning you can
use the complete set of Ada features in that code and that it should not be
analyzed by GNATprove. You can change this default either selectively (on
some units or subprograms or packages inside units) or globally (using a
configuration pragma, which is what we're doing in this tutorial). To allow
simple reuse of existing Ada libraries, entities declared in imported units
with no explicit
SPARK_Mode can still be used from SPARK code. The
tool only checks for SPARK conformance on the declaration of those entities
which are actually used within the SPARK code.
Here's a common case of using the
SPARK_Mode aspect:
package P
with SPARK_Mode => On
-- package spec is IN SPARK, so can be used by SPARK clients
end P;
package body P
with SPARK_Mode => Off
-- body is NOT IN SPARK, so is ignored by GNATprove
end P;
The package
P only defines entities whose specifications are in the
SPARK subset. However, it wants to use all Ada features in its body.
Therefore the body should not be analyzed and has its
aspect set to Off.
You can specify
SPARK_Mode in a fine-grained manner on a per-unit
basis. An Ada package has four different components: the visible and
private parts of its specification and the declarative and statement parts
of its body. You can specify
SPARK_Mode as being either On or
Off on any of those parts. Likewise, a subprogram has two parts: its
specification and its body.
A general rule in SPARK is that once
SPARK_Mode has been set to
Off, it can never be switched On again in the same part of a package or
subprogram. This prevents setting
SPARK_Mode to On for subunits of
a unit with
SPARK_Mode Off and switching back to
On for a part of a given unit where it was set fo Off in a previous
For more details on the use of
SPARK_Mode, see the
SPARK User's Guide.
Code Examples / Pitfalls
Example #1
Here's a package defining an abstract stack type (defined as a private type
in SPARK) of
Element objects along with some subprograms providing the
usual functionalities of stacks. It's marked as being in the SPARK subset.
Side-effects in expressions are not allowed in SPARK. Therefore,
is not allowed to modify its parameter
Example #2
Let's turn to an abstract state machine version of a stack, where the unit
provides a single instance of a stack. The content of the stack (global
Content and
Top) is not directly visible to clients. In
this stripped-down version, only the function
Pop is available to
clients. The package spec and body are marked as being in the SPARK subset.
As above, functions should be free from side-effects. Here,
Pop updates
the global variable
Top, which is not allowed in SPARK.
Example #3
We now consider two procedures:
Permute and
applies a circular permutation to the value of its three parameters.
Swap then uses
Permute to swap the value of
X and
Here, the values for parameters
Y and
Z are aliased in the call to
Permute, which is not allowed in SPARK. In fact, in this particular
case, this is even a violation of Ada rules so the same error is issued by
the Ada compiler.
In this example, we see the reason why aliasing is not allowed in SPARK:
Y and
Z are
Positive, they are passed by copy and the
result of the call to
Permute depends on the order in which they're
copied back after the call.
Example #4
Here, the
Swap procedure is used to swap the value of the two record
components of
This code is correct. The call to
Swap is safe: two different
components of the same record can't refer to the same object.
Example #5
Here's a slight modification of the previous example using an array instead
of a record:
Swap_Indexes calls
Swap on values stored in the array
GNATprove detects a possible case of aliasing. Unlike the previous example,
it has no way of knowing that the two elements
A (I) and
A (J) are
actually distinct when we call
Swap. GNATprove issues a check message
here instead of an error, giving you the possibility of justifying the
message after review (meaning that you've verified manually that this
can't, in fact, occur).
Example #6
We now consider a package declaring a type
Dictionary, an array
containing a word per letter. The procedure
Store allows us to insert a
word at the correct index in a dictionary.
This code is not correct: controlled types are not part of the SPARK
subset. The solution here is to use
SPARK_Mode to separate the
definition of
String_Access from the rest of the code in a fine
grained manner.
Example #7
Here's a new version of the previous example, which we've modified to hide the
controlled type inside the private part of package
P, using
SPARK_Mode (Off) at the start of the private part.
Since the controlled type is defined and used inside of a part of the code ignored by GNATprove, this code is correct.
Example #8
Let's put together the new spec for package
P with the body of
P seen
The body of
Store doesn't actually use any construct that's not in the
SPARK subset, but we nevertheless can't set
SPARK_Mode to
On for
P's body because it has visibility to
P's private part, which is
not in SPARK, even if we don't use it.
Example #9
Next, we moved the declaration and the body of the procedure
Store to
another package named
And now everything is fine: we've managed to retain the use of the controlled type while having most of our code in the SPARK subset so GNATprove is able to analyze it.
Example #10
Our final example is a package with two functions to search for the value 0
inside an array
A. The first raises an exception if 0 isn't found in
A while the other simply returns 0 in that case.
This code is perfectly correct, despite the use of exception handling,
because we've carefully isolated this non-SPARK feature in a function body
marked with a
SPARK_Mode of
Off so it's ignored by GNATprove.
However, GNATprove tries to show that
Not_Found is never raised in
Search_Zero_P, producing a message about a possible exception being
raised. Looking at
Search_Zero_N, it's indeed likely that an exception
is meant to be raised in some cases, which means you need to verify that
Not_Found is only raised when appropriate using other methods such as
peer review or testing.

Shanxi province, right in the centre of the Loess Plateau and middle reaches of the Yellow River, is known as the "hometown of coal". It is also rich in iron, copper and aluminum and supports an economy dominated by heavy, chemical and energy industries.
Like Hebei, Shanxi is also considered one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. It was home to the Jin State, one of most powerful states during the Spring and Autumn Period of 11th century BC.
During World War II, Shanxi was a revolutionary base, where the Chinese Eighth Route Army set up camp. This prestigious history, coupled with its varied topography, has left Shanxi with a rich cultural heritage. Famous sites and relics are scattered throughout the province.
UNESCO has named several destinations in Shanxi as World Heritage Sites. One such site is the ancient walled city of Pingyao. A great financial centre during the Qing Dynasty, Pingyao is noted for preserving the architecture, cultures and way of life of the Qing and Ming Dynasties.
Another popular site is the World Heritage Site of the Yungang Grottoes. These ancient Buddhist temples date back to 460 AD, and are well known for their reliefs and sculptures carved from cave walls.
Shanxi hosts numerous ethnicities, including the Hui, Man, Mongolian, Korean, and Zang nationalities and minorities.

House Democrats passed a pair of bills Thursday that would create a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and some migrant farm workers, taking a piecemeal approach as the fate of President Biden's major immigration package looks increasingly uncertain.
The Dream and Promise Act, which passed 228-197, would provide certainty to undocumented people brought to the U.S. as children whose ability to go to school, get work and even remain in the country has hung in the balance from administration to administration.
Sponsor Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) called the bill "a major step in ending the veil of fear and uncertainty that has plagued the lives of our Dreamers for far too long."
But beyond assisting Dreamers, the legislation would also allow those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to apply for citizenship, a group from countries around the world that ranges from those fleeing civil unrest and natural disasters as early as the 1990s to Venezuelans deemed eligible for the status by the Biden administration earlier this month.
In total, the Dream and Promise Act would help naturalize nearly 4.5 million people.
If approved by the Senate, the legislation would cap a longstanding goal for Democrats, who have been eager to cement status for Dreamers, as former President Obama's 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program has been repeatedly challenged in court.
But the prospects for getting the "immigration week" legislation to Biden's desk have been complicated by a surge at the southern border, with Republicans expressing hesitation for passing any immigration reform before dealing with that situation first.
"Biden has lost control of the U.S.-Mexico border," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Wednesday.
"Until he regains control, by implementing policies that work, it will be hard to do the Dreamers or anything else."
Meanwhile a Republican immigration package introduced Wednesday, which would also provide citizenship to Dreamers, includes a trigger mechanism to "ensure border security is completed before other reforms take place."
During House debate on the bill, Republicans frequently referenced a "crisis at our southern border," arguing the Biden administration is encouraging increased migration.
"We are beyond the debate. The question is whether we have a border at all. What's the Democrats' response? This bill promises a path to citizenship to DACA recipients but millions more," Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) said.
"We all sympathize with those illegally brought here as young children years ago," he said, noting Republican support for other bills that protected Dreamers but included border security measures that "discourage another generation of young people being brought here."
Apprehensions at the southern border increased 28 percent from January to February, to more than 100,000 people, according to the U.S. Border Patrol, and the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday said that the U.S. is "on pace to encounter more individuals on the Southwest border than we have in the last 20 years."
While the White House has blamed the pressure on the border on former President Trump's policies, Republicans have repeatedly claimed the Biden administration is undermining what had been a stable situation.
"How did we go from America first to America last in just days," Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) said during the debate.
Democrats said the case for Dreamers was one based on compassion, economics and the American history of immigration.
"They have so much to contribute, and they're American in every way except on paper. For so many long years they've been burdened with uncertainty because of the anti-immigrant hysteria whipped up by these Republican fanatics," Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) said on the floor.
"Releasing their full potential would have such benefit to all of us."
Democrats also contend that the pandemic has shown the value immigrants play both as essential workers and drivers of the economy.
"Recipients are essential to our communities. Many of them have lived in the United States for decades. They make up a significant portion of the workforce in key industries including construction, food service, and home health care. They contribute to the U.S. economy not only through their work, but also through consumer spending and tax revenue, and they have been particularly essential in serving our country during the COVID-19 pandemic," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said during the debate.
"This legislation is not about the border. This legislation is about finally delivering on our promise to America's Dreamers and others who are equally deserving of our protection," Nadler said.
The House on Thursday also approved legislation that provides a citizenship pathway for seasonal migrant farmworkers, allowing those who have been traveling to the U.S. for work for a decade to apply for citizenship after another four years.
That bill, which passed 247-174, is expected to provide citizenship to more than a million migrants, and it also ups the number of agricultural visas available to those seeking to come to the U.S. for work.
It secured more Republican support, including several votes from agricultural communities.
"For years my constituents have been asking me to fix our nation's broken immigration system. They say it's wreaking havoc on our farmers in rural communities," said Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), noting the difficulty of securing workers.
"We created a bill to create a merit-based agricultural immigration system for our nation's food producers and make much-needed reforms….This bill is not about what is happening on the border," Simpson said. "It's about providing a stable, legal workforce for the people who put food on our tables."
Though the two bills together would provide a substantial number of migrants with the ability to naturalize, it falls short of the 11 million figure that would be covered by a major immigration package pushed by Biden.
Though the White House issued statements of support for both bills, it also urged the passing of Biden's bill, stressing the need "to reform other aspects of our immigration system."

Note: We are adding updates as this story develops.
NEW DELHI -- A crime of unimaginable horror was committed in Kerala on the evening of 28 April.
Jisha, a 30-year-old law student, was murdered, stabbed over and over again, and her intestines were pulled out. She may also have been raped, but the police is yet to confirm sexual violence. Rajeshwari, a daily wage labourer, found her daughter lying in a pool of blood, when she returned to their one-room house in the town of Perumbavoor, which is around 216 kilometers away from Thiruvananthapuram.
As word of the crime spread, Jisha was compared to Jyoti, the 23-year-old woman who was gangraped in a moving bus in Delhi in 2012. She was brutalized with an iron rod, her intestines were pulled out, and she was thrown naked from the bus. When words - written and spoken - failed to express the collective horror which her ordeal triggered, people took to the streets to express their outrage at just how vulnerable women are to sexual violence.
In Jisha's case, no one stirred for five days after the crime. The town of Perumbavoor did not witness protests for five days after the savage murder, with people coming out on the streets for the first time on Wednesday. The police cordoned off the crime scene and called in forensic experts to collect evidence, five days after the crime. And it was on the seventh day that Chief Minister Minister Oommen Chandy visited Rajeshwari in hospital.
Why some crimes inflame passions, while others fade away as headlines, is not an exact science. But we have all moved on too quickly from Jisha, conveniently boxing her in with Jyoti, and reducing her ordeal to a "Nirbhaya" type case. It really isn't.
It is a perfectly planned brutal murder. The evidence received so far suggest that it was carried out by a single person.
Here is what you need to know about Jisha and her case.
Jisha, a Dalit woman, was a law student at Ernakulam Government Law College. Her classmates say that she was quite friendly when she joined college, talking about her family, and her dream of getting a job and taking care of her mother.
Jisha lived with her mother and her elder sister in a one-room house. Her father had left the family several years earlier, and her sister went to live with her husband's family after getting married.
Her friends said that Jisha withdrew after she started experiencing financial problems, which forced her to skip exams, drop classes, and eventually she stopped coming to college.
Rajeshwari struggled to support her family, and keep her daughter in law school. Reporters, who met her at Ward No. 5 at the Kuruppampady Taluk Hospital, gave a heartrending account of her speaking about her daughter as if she was still alive. "Can anybody tell me whether she has eaten?," she said.
Rajeshwari has told reporters that she and her daughter had a difficult relationship with their neighbors, who, she says, destroyed their water pipes, threw stones into their house, while men from the locality made sexual advances at Jisha.
Rajeshwari said that she had complained to the police about the harassment she and her daughter faced, but no action was taken.
Rajeshwari and her daughter believed that a tragedy was waiting to happen, Laila, Jisha's aunt, told The New Indian Express. "So, Rajeshwari bought a pen camera for the safety of Jisha. Whenever her mother went out Jisha would lock their house from both ends, and wore the pen camera," she said.
But their neighbors told TheNewsMinute that it was Rajeshwari who hurled stones at anyone who tried to speak to her, and that is why people didn't come to her aid when she was desperately trying to break down the door of her house on the night of the murder.
Chandy has offered Rajeshwari a government job and financial assistance of Rs. 10 lakh.
While confirming murder, the police said that rape could only be confirmed by autopsy reports. NDTV reported today that the latest police report before the court has included rape charges.
The police have ruled out gang rape, and confirmed that one man is the killer, according to TheNewsMinute. The autopsy report showed that 38 wounds were inflicted on Jisha. Her back was covered in bite marks.
Reports vary on how many men have been taken into custody for questioning. TheNewsMinute says four men have been detained. Tehelka reported that one can't be certain if the men being questioned are the culprits or the police is lashing out under public pressure.
The police have released a sketch of a suspect and said they were looking for a man seen leaving Jisha's home. "We can understand that people are very angry but we have very little evidence to find the accused," Additional Director General of Police K Padmakumar told Reuters. "We are doing our best."
On May 6, The Hindu reported that around 300 persons had been interrogated, and about 12 suspects were under police custody. "It is a perfectly planned brutal murder. The evidence received so far suggest that it was carried out by a single person," Padmakumar told the newspaper.
Jisha's neighbours have reportedly said that the police sketch looks like a friend of Jisha's sister's friend. TheNewsMinute reported that this friend, who is missing since the murder, is allegedly a drug dealer and involved in women trafficking.
A pair of chappals have also been recovered from the crime scene and sent for footprint analysis.
No arrests were made till May 7 which marked ten days since Jisha was killed.

Jeremy Parsons – Things I Need to Say
BANDCAMP: https://jeremyparsons.bandcamp.com/album/things-i-need-to-say
Jeremy Parsons' musical future gets a whole lot brighter with his new release Things I Need to Say. He wasn't necessarily laboring in darkness before now, long established as popular live act in both the United States and Europe, and has a warmly received album before this under his belt, but Things I Need to Say represents the major leap forward we hope all artists, regardless of genre, make with their sophomore release. There's easy-going, intelligently crafted material here included alongside intense, narrative fueled tunes unified in a way such efforts rarely are in modern music while incorporating a spectrum of musical influences without any visible stitching heard in a single song. Things I Need to Say is a release of rare distinction and primarily falls within the purview of Americana music, but you'll likely dismiss any labels after even a single listen.
There's an excellent cross section of moods on this album. Parsons opts to build it from an upbeat note with the solidly constructed song "Makin' It Up As I Go Along", but it's obviously from an intelligent songwriter despite its seeming simplicity and careful listening to the tune, paying particular attention to the interplay between the violin and singing, might reveal this song to be a little more than it seems, just wrapped in a pleasing entertainment package. There's much more gravitas coming through with his performance of the song "Life" and the writing is never ponderous but, instead, contains easily digestible insights well worded to the needs of the song. The acoustic guitar work is very impressive and has a strong melodic bent helping it stand apart from other tracks on the collection.
"Burn This House Down" is another high point on Things I Need to Say thanks to its mix of modern and traditional elements in such a way that, like much of his other work, we feel like Parsons is refurbishing traditions for a modern audience than settling for mere imitation. He indulges a number of clichés, in a way, with this song but makes this song a cut above such material thanks to his ability to reclaim those near formulaic moments with slight twists in his writing. "Purpose" is pure blues rock with fiery lead guitar licks interspersed between the vocal passages and some appropriately wailing harmonica leaving burn marks across the surface of the song.
The streamlined movement of the song "Lisa's Lost" and carefully orchestrated arrangement helps make its storyline go down easier for listeners – to be sure. The song paints a grim picture of a woman beset by difficulties on all sides and trying to making through life with precious stable ground. The instrumental performances are tasteful, but there's a certain amount of understated flair coming through as well. He brings accordion into play with the album's title cut "Things I Need to Say" and the implied intimacy of that title does come across lyrically. The music is composed in an unique way – you can discern how he unites the song's individual threads into an overall greater whole. Things I Need to Say is a well rounded musical experience free from too much commerciality and, instead, feeling like a genuine expression of Parsons' heart and soul.

Trisha Hlastawa, '12, graduated with a degree in Community Entrepreneurship and Public Communication. She currently works at Healthy Living in South Burlington as a Customer Service Supervisor and Community Outreach team member.
What role has networking played in your career exploration and job search?
Networking has played a key role. I found out about a job at Healthy Living from a Career Counselor who knew my interests. I got the job and have worked in many different positions at the store since. Previous to this position, I used networking as a way to find jobs as needed.
Networking can be a bit intimidating to some, what's been your experience?
I have found networking to be intimidating when I don't know anything about the person I am interacting with. The key thing is to find something to talk about that is familiar to the person and myself and that we can both relate to. Once a conversation is sparked, it can lead in many different directions. Overall, networking has been rewarding to me. As many people say, it is a small world. The more people I meet, I find people who know people I know and vice versa. We are all ultimately connected in some way.
How do you recommend students get started with networking?
I recommend students start networking with people they know. Express interest in meeting new people to your relatives or friends; this can spark their interest in helping you to make more connections. It's also really important to put yourself out there and get involved in on-campus activities or part-time jobs. Sometimes you just have to take chances and see what happens. Establishing relationships with people who know what you are interested in and want to see you succeed can make a big difference when you are looking for a job.
For more information on Networking see the Career Services website.

Google's efforts to gain influence in Washington is sending money to some politicians who may make Internet civil liberty advocates cringe.
According to a report filed with the Federal Election Commission, Google's PAC (Google Inc. NetPAC), as of July 2012, the search giant has made almost half a million dollars in campaign contributions.
That's no chump change compared to other tech powerhouses. Microsoft's PAC doled out $24,000 in July, bringing its total campaign contributions for the year to $565,500. Yahoo's total campaign contributions for the year amount to $36,500. Oracle gave $174,250 this year.
On the lobbying front, Google still reigns: eBay spent $400,600 in the second quarter, and Amazon spent $690,000. They've even beat the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) so far, who spent $1,170,00 in lobbying to date.
This comes after reports show that alongside the July formation of a new tech lobbying group ("The Internet Association"), Google and Facebook spent $3.9 million and $960,000 on lobbying this year, respectively.
It is an election year, so that's got to be considered when contemplating the piles of money Google's throwing at politicians.
It's also important to keep in perspective that Google's PAC contributions are nothing when compared to AT&T (almost $1,175,000 so far in 2012), and Comcast's PAC (close to a million at $934,000).
What the new numbers tell us is that Google is clearly interested in expanding its influence on decision makes in Washington.
But Google is putting money directly into the pockets of politicians whose viewpoints on technology are not aligned with Google's stated values - men who have authored bills and have voted toward shaping an Internet in which Google would never have been created.
Who is Google funding in Washington?
Hillicon Valley reports:
(...) $5,000 each to GOP Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) and Reps. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Peter Roskam (R-Ill.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.).
On the Democratic side, Google's PAC gave money to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) and Sen. Jay Rockefeller (W.Va.), and poured $5,000 into Sen. Bob Casey (Pa.)'s coffers.
Some of you may be interested to note where some of these contribution recipients stand on technology and security issues.
- Rep. Kevin McCarthy is for a permanent ban on state and local taxation of Internet access - but voted yes on retroactive immunity for telecoms' warrantless surveillance and voted yes on extending the Patriot Act's roving wiretaps in 2011 and voted no on requiring FISA warrants for wiretaps in US.
- Rep. Buck McKeon shares the same record as McCarthy on warrantless surveillance and wiretaps, but also has voted consistently to allowing electronic surveillance without a warrant, continuing intelligence gathering without civil oversight, and in 2006 McKeon voted against Net Neutrality.
- Rep. Jeff Flake has a record on warrantless wiretapping and unrestricted surveillance consistent to McCarthy and McKeon, voted yes on retroactive immunity for telecoms' warrantless surveillance, is against Net Neutrality but was vocally anti-SOPA.
As you may remember, the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA) was a bill positioned as as an anti-piracy tool yet its implementation would have given entertainment businesses extraordinary power to create an internet blacklist - and the bill became known as one of the biggest threats to free speech in recent history.
- Rep. Peter Roskam is the same as the others on roving/warrantless wiretaps and retroactive immunity for telecoms' warrantless surveillance. Rep. Tim Scott wants to continue the Patriot Act's roving wiretaps, but came out strongly against SOPA.
- Senator Harry Reid has the same stance on supporting roving/warrantless wiretaps, and voted yes on telecom deregulation.
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller also is
in favor of unrestricted wiretapping of US citizens. Notably, Rockefeller authored a very controversial bill, the Cybersecurity Act of 2010- that would give control of the Internet to the President of the United States "in times of an emergency" and authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to sequester any information he deems necessary, without regard to any law.
Rockefeller received praise last year for authoring the Do Not Track Bill. But he is also notorious for suggesting that the Internet should never have been invented which was how he introduced his Cybersecurity Act.
Is this a case of strange bedfellows for Google - or a shrewd move for Google to have its voice heard a little more clearly in Washington? It will be interesting to see where Google takes its political influence as its reach, and contributions, increase.
I've reached out to Google for comment on its PAC goals and what could be its first clear act of realpolitik behavior, and will update this item accordingly.

We made a few changes to our fonts for Venus Control Suite. Many of you asked that we add the Daktronics Venus fonts to the Venus Control Suite Web Editor. The Daktronics Venus fonts are great when you want a smaller font that will still appear sharp and easy to read.
You asked, and we listened!
The update to the Web Editor took place last Tuesday, April 26th and was a success. You will now be able to see all of the supported fonts for use on GS6/GC6 displays in the Web Editor.
Both True Type fonts and Venus fonts are now available, and all included fonts were tested and chosen specifically by the Daktronics Creative Services team.
Be careful choosing a font
It's important to remember that the wide variety of fonts is exciting, but take care when selecting text for your individual display. Fonts that work great on large displays may have a different effect on a smaller display. So you'll want to choose something that will look excellent on your display.
We recommend large, bold fonts that can be easily read from different viewing distances. Our least favorite fonts include serifs only because they are not as easy to read at a glance.
Outlining any font also increases readability. We recommend using at least a 2-point outline around all text if you are using Content Studio.
Speaking of Content Studio…
For those of you who have elected to create content in our standalone editor, Content Studio, there is also an update available for you.
Content Studio is available at no charge to any of our Venus Control Suite customers who are looking for more creativity in building their content then what the Web Editor allows. This update offers the same fonts that can now be found in the Web Editor.
Here's how to run the update
Since Content Studio is installed locally on your computer, we are providing you with step-by-step instructions to run the update. Don't worry though, the update is quick and easy, and we actually have a Knowledge Base article with step-by-step instructions for you.
What fonts are available in the Venus Control Suite Software?
Now that you have completed the update, you will have access to all of the supported fonts for use on GS6/GC6 displays in Content Studio.
This is Phase One
We realize that there are more fonts that you would like utilized in Venus Control Suite. This update was just phase one to our overall vision for font distribution.
In the future, we will have more abilities, such as being able to upload your own fonts in the editors. We are actively working toward developing this new functionality – stay tuned to our blog, and we will inform you when this update occurs.
If you have any questions about this update or what is coming next for Venus Control Suite, please feel free to comment below.
If you found this blog post helpful, then be sure to click on the orange "Receive Email Updates" button on the right side of the page to subscribe.
Thanks for reading!
I just installed the update. It appears that you have eliminated Tahoma, which, unfortunately, was one of the few fonts that was really working for us on our sign. How can I get it back?
[…] in the details? Read the blog post sent to all registered Venus Control Suite users, "Venus® Control Suite and Content Studio Fonts Update," published to the Venus blog on May 4, […]
[…] you read our last blog post, you are aware of this one, but we recently updated the fonts that are available in the Web Editor to only show all of the supported fonts for use on GS6/GC6 displays. We also mentioned in that […]
[…] Lucky for you, our Creative Services team here at Daktronics selected a whole host of TrueType Fonts for our content editors, making any font selection ideal for your LED […]

Kanye – Power (ft. Dwele)(prod. by Symbolic One)July 2nd, 2010
DOWNLOAD MP3 Kanye-PowerftDweleprodbySymbolicOne.mp3
Summary: The blog had really gone to shit, I felt bad and after I heard this song I just couldn't NOT post any longer. Here it is off of his fifth and upcoming album Good Ass Job due out this fall, Kanye's Power
About Artist: Everyone "knows" who Kanye is. He's a world famous star. But before Heartless, before Love Lockdown, before 808's and Autotune, before Stronger, before Good Life and Can't Tell Me Nothing, before Touch the Sky and before Goldigger, before Jesus Walks, All Fall Down, and before The New Workout Plan Kanye was famous makin beats for Jay-Z (before he was King). This is just to say that Kanye has been around now for a long time now and his career and talents is more than a drunk evening with Taylor Swift. So get it right.
About Song: It called Power.
First the beat is crazy. The west African vocals with the clapping with the King Crimson guitar and screaming it's just great. The second part of the song features vocals from Dwele and the song really progresses from beginning to end.
Favorite Parts
"The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open
We ain't got nothin' to lose, ma'fucka, we rollin'
Huh? Ma'fucka, we rollin'
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands" -(0:37)
"Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
He know, he so, fuckin' gifted
I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind but couldn't open up my own vault
My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catchin' up with me
Takin' my inner child, I'm fighting for it, custody" -(1:47)
"Colin, Powers, Austin, Powers
Lost in translation with a whole fuckin' nation
They say I was the obamanation of Obama's nation
Well, that's a pretty bad way to start the conversation
At the end of day, goddammit, I'm killin' this shit
I know damn well y'all feelin' this shit
I don't need yo' pussy, bitch, I'm on my own dick
I ain't gotta power trip, who you goin' home with?
How 'Ye doin'? I'm survivin'
I was drinkin' earlier, now I'm drivin'
Where the bad bitches, huh? Where ya hidin'?
I got the power, make yo' life so excitin' (So excitin')" (2:42 third verse, 2:54 has a piano part almost identical to parts in Jesus Walks)

Pro Tools 11 Delay CompensationPosted by Michael Venia on
Some of you have probably noticed that the Pro Tools 11 Delay Compensation isn't working. I was trying to export a fairly large session the other day and I heard a delay on the vocal and drum tracks that I did not intentionally add. I thought it was something simple that I was missing, but after looking through all the tracks and settings thoroughly, I knew something was either different or buggy in Pro Tools 11. I came across this video that Mike Thornton over at Pro Tools Export published on YouTube and it was very informative.
The key thing to say is that it is not a bug. Pro Tools is working as it is designed to, however under certain circumstances connected to cascading tracks and using audio tracks for stems, it appears as if there is an issue, but there are two ways to resolve it and we show them in this video.

I saw a translator's note in the writings of Epictetus the ancient Roman Stoic philosopher.
He said Epictetus was a joy to translate because he used short sentences. The sentences were clearly thought out.
Try reading philosophers and scholars of the last 50 years or more. They use many phrases and dependent clauses. They pile thought on top of thought. Until you discover you are spending more time deciphering their idea than the value of the thought.
A writer once said, I don't have time to write a short piece.
Physicists Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman both said if you cannot write the idea out simply, then you don't understand what you're trying to say.
Teachers, please use whatever class you lead to provoke your students to think clearly and express themselves as simply as possible.
Demand the same from employees.
Don't be like the majority of business books written over the last 20 years. When you have made your point–stop.

4 brill fillets (120–150g/ 41⁄4–51⁄2oz each), skin on
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 bay leaves
2–4 thyme sprigs
2 garlic cloves, skin on and bashed
1 small knob of butter
for the sauce
1 large knob of butter
1 shallot, halved and very finely diced
100ml (31⁄2fl oz) fish stock or water
1 large bunch of sorrel (about 150g/51⁄2oz), stalks removed (I use cultivated sorrel)
150ml (5fl oz) double cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
First, make the sorrel sauce. Melt the butter in a small pan over
a medium heat. When it is bubbling, add the shallot and cook, stirring regularly, until it is soft and sweet. Pour over the stock, bring up to a simmer and watch it bubble away gently until the liquid has almost disappeared (about 2 minutes). Cut the sorrel leaves into rough ribbons and throw them into the pan. Give the sorrel a stir with a wooden spoon once or twice in the pan to ensure the leaves are nicely wilted. Add the cream, stir, and bring the sauce up to a simmer. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat, cover and set aside.
Season the fish all over. Heat the olive oil, along with the bay, thyme and garlic, in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium– high heat. Place the pieces of seasoned brill skin-side down into the pan. Cook for 5–6 minutes, until the fish has cooked at least three-quarters of the way up its edge. Use a spatula to turn over the fish, cook for 1 minute more, then add the butter and remove the pan from the heat. Rest the fish in the pan for 1 minute while the butter melts.
Place one brill fillet onto each plate with the sauce alongside. It's lovely served with a bowl of crisp sauté potatoes.

Hamradio stuff
RedPitaya SDR project
I use simple and efficient digital setup for 10GHz based on low-cost RedPitaya and Kuhne 10GHz/144MHz transverter. The RedPitaya uses 125MHz sampling and originally it has 60MHz low-pass filters installed on-board. I have removed the filters and installed the new 144MHz filter instead. I use under-sampling on 19 MHz to get to 144 MHz.
I also have made a new 125MHz oscillator locked to external 10MHz GPS/Rubidium reference, modification is describet here.
Complete radio:
10GHz SDR RTX
10 MHZ locked TCXO
RP with input filter removed
Guys from RedPitaya were so kind to give me the Audio codec. The schematics - how to connect codec can be found here.

VK7UM - S57RA / 16.386km contact with only 60cm antenna
After some effort - moving air-gun and extending tx waveguide, rx and controll lines, we managed to make a contact on 10GHz with Rex - VK7MO from Hobart/Tasmania. We repeated the contact the day after with smaller antenna and less power on his side.
First day Rex used 120cm antenna and 90w and day later only 60cm antenna and 50W. Equiment on my side was 3m dish, abt 150w at feed, 0.8dB preamp, kuhne 3cm transverter, and my low-cost SDR with RedPitaya and PowerSDR radio.
Distance between stations (jn75ap in qe36wv) is 16386.66Km.
The radio and PA were developed at EIUS d.o.o.
