Why you should care about a KB?
I started my career as a software developer few years ago and frankly, I didn't care (enough) about hardware back then.
I always thought software development was all about writing a working code which should have best algorithmic performance (Big-Oh) and compiler will take care of other optimisations.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
Let's dive into one of the most sophisticated yet often ignored piece during programming : CPU Cache.
What does speed have to with storage?
Everything. The major bottleneck these days is not the CPU speed but the memory access speed. Have a look at these numbers below by Jonas Bonér.
A simple main memory reference takes 100ns. This may not seems like a lot but when you are developing for more than 10million RPM, this means you are spending 1 second every minute just to get a reference from memory. Reading from memory is a whole another pain.
However, if you notice L1 and L2 cache reference takes a lot less time (0.5 ns and 7 ns respectively) than memory. But, why is that?
It's because in the CPU, L1 and L2 cache reside closer to CPU core than RAM. Apart from that, caches generally use SRAM (Static RAM) which is much faster but costlier than DRAM (Dynamic RAM) used in memory.
A 4 core processor today consists of L1 Instructions cache and L1 data cache per core. It then contains a L2 cache per core which holds both Instruction and Data.
Sometimes L2 cache is shared between a pair of cores. L3 cache is the common cache for all the cores and finally we have RAM. All the data which resides in L1 cache will be there in the higher levels of cache and memory. Same goes for L2 and L3.
Let's put everything in cache
That's great. Let's see how much data you can store in each of these caches. Below are the number of from my Macbook Pro (Early 2015 edition) with a Core i5 processor:
hw.l1icachesize: 32768
hw.l1dcachesize: 32768
hw.l2cachesize: 262144
hw.l3cachesize: 3145728
Okay. So my modern processor on which I can run nearly everything without a lag has only 64KB of L1 cache per core, 256KB of L2 cache per core and 3MB of L3 cache. As a 24 year old, I never had to care about a few megabytes in my life.
And now I have this daunting task, to fit my program and my objects within 3MB. To give you the context, a normal Java Thread starts with a stack size of almost 1 to 8MB. (Even the latest i7 processors contain only 12MB of cache)
An immediate solution is to write fewer lines of code which will reduce the number of instructions which need to be cached. But that 's not always a feasible option. Let's first understand some basic cache concepts.
Cache lines
Cache lines are the unit of access in a cache. When a value is fetched from memory to cache, it's not a single value but multiple adjoining value equal to the size of the cache line.
Modern cache lines have a size of 64 bytes. Same is true for my Macbook Pro. A simple sysctl -a | grep cacheline will yield
hw.cachelinesize: 64
So CPU fetches 64 bytes from memory to cache and writes the same number of bytes to the memory. This means if you have an 4 byte integer array whose value will lie close to each other, CPU will fetch 16 integers at once from this array.
This means that a linear traversal through array is much faster than it actually seems.
"Linear array search can beat log2n searches of heap-based BSTs.
Big-Oh wins for large n, but hardware caching takes early lead." — Scott Meyers, Cpu Caches and Why You Care
This is also the same reason if you create a 2-D matrix, it's row major traversal will be faster than it's column major traversal. A row is stored in consecutive memory locations and is thus fetched in a cache line.
A cache is also smart enough to prefetch the previous or next cache line required, depending upon the instruction. So, the more predictable is your access pattern the better will be the performance..
Cache invalidation
So you can get data into cache now and that's great. But what happens when data goes into two different cache locations. e.g. A variable x might be in the L1 D catch of Core 1 as well as Core 2. What will happen when you update that variable?
This situation is known as a data race. When multiple threads try to access the same value at same time and at least one of them is a write.
Luckily for us, CPU's takes care of this. Whenever a write happens for a memory location in cache, all the other cache references for that location are invalidated and is fetched again from the memory by the core, if required. However, since the unit of cache is a cache line, the whole cache line will be goner rather than only required bytes.
This creates new problems for Multithreaded systems. When two or more threads try to simultaneously modify bytes falling on the same cache line, most of the time is went into invalidating the cache and reading the updated bytes from the memory. This effect is known as False sharing.
If you have suspicious lack of scalability, you might be suffering from this effect.
The easiest way to tackle this is to always operate on local variables inside a thread and then once the processing is done, use those values to update a global state.
Cache associativity
Developers generally don't need to pay attention to this. If you want you can skip this section.
A cache is divided into a number of sets.
Each set can hold a number of cache lines.
Caches which can hold 1 cache line per set are called directly mapped cache.
Caches which can hold all the cache lines per set are called fully associative cache.
Directly mapped cache are not performant and fully associative caches are costly for practical systems, so a typical CPU has an E way set-associative cache. This means a set can hold E cache lines.
On my laptop, the cache is 8 way associative. The L3 cache is 3MB in size and a cache line is 64 bytes.
This means my cache has roughly 3MB/(8*64 bytes) = 6144 sets. (Cache size ( C ) is equal to S * E * B where S = no. of sets, E= no. of cache lines in each set and B = no. of bytes in each cache line).
I said roughly because I haven't accounted for tag and the valid bits.
What this means is that, if I have addresses that differ by 64 * 6144 = 393216 bytes they are going to fall in the same set.
If we frequently access such addresses more than 8 times, the values will keep on competing for cache lines in a set (because it's 8-way associative) and thus our program will be slower.
One of the immediate effects of this can occur when you are operating on multiple vectors simultaneously (e.g. D += A[i] * B[i] * C[i], where A & B are vectors).
Let's assume if our cache size was 256 bytes and it was 2-way set associative and cache line size is 64 bytes). This means our cache has 2 sets (256/(2*64)).
Each vector consists of 8 byte integers and has 8 elements.
This implies values of the vectors are stored in following addresses (assuming they are placed continuously)
So, the 64 bytes blocks of each array are gonna compete with each other to occupy the same set. but since our set can only hold 2 such blocks, the latter is going to replace the former and the cpu will have to go to memory again to fetch the next element.
This is a waste of CPU time and should be avoided. You can add some padding (e.g. 64 bytes) so that these values don't compete with each other for same set.
Utilise cache to the fullest potential
Here are the tips to take cache performance to the maximum.
- Maintain spatial and temporal locality of data. Repeated references to a local variable are good as it'll be in cache. Also, accessing memory in a sequential manner means utilising the already loaded words in cache line and thus lowering the cache miss rate.
- Identify suspicious lake of scalability and write to local variables instead of global ones.
- Avoid unnecessary memory allocations. Memory is costly and it's access is not as fast as it seems. Don't unnecessarily copy objects from one place to another (unless you are dealing with immutable objects in functional programming).
In part 2, I'll be telling about another aspect of memory which is it's runtime/compile time management.

There have been lots of queries about immigration and border controls in recent weeks.
It's important to recognise that the answers to things like illegal immigration across the channel etc are not simple. International law, and in some cases our own laws dating back to the Blair era, prevent us from being able to take all the immediate action that we would like... What people often aren't aware of though, is that we're already deporting hundreds of illegal immigrants and criminals!! I've asked the Home Office to publicise these figures more!
We're committed to making the changes to deliver on this. Changing those laws will take time and be incredibly difficult, because the same old vocal campaigners will go mad, but we've promised to deliver and we will. At the same time we're introducing our points based immigration system and Michael Gove has announced a £700m Border Controls plan last weekend.

One man was killed Saturday in a motorcycle accident in West Richland, according to news reports.
The fatal accident killed the Benton City man and injured his wife, according to news reports. The couple was on the motorcycle when they collided with a car that crossed the center lane into their lane.
The 52-year-old man was transported to a hospital in Spokane, but later died. His wife is reportedly in stable condition at Kadlec Medical Center in Richland.
It is unclear what caused the driver of the car to cross into the other lane, hitting the couple on the motorcycle head-on. It is also unclear if the couple on the motorcycle were wearing helmets. An investigation into this incident is ongoing.
As a Spokane personal injury lawyer, I'm saddened to hear about this fatal motorcycle accident. I urge drivers to always pay attention to the road so they don't merge off the roadway or into the median. My condolences go out to the family and friends affected by this tragic accident. I hope the woman is able to recover from the injuries she sustained in the crash.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact a personal injury lawyer in Spokane.

Glück was born in New York City and raised on New York's Long Island. She began to suffer from anorexia nervosa while in high school and later overcame the illness. She took classes at Sarah Lawrence College and Columbia University but did not obtain a degree. In addition to her career as an author, she has had a career in academia as a teacher of poetry at several institutions.
In her work, Glück has focused on illuminating aspects of trauma, desire, and nature. In exploring these broad themes, her poetry has become known for its frank expressions of sadness and isolation. Scholars have also focused on her construction of poetic personas and the relationship, in her poems, between autobiography and classical myth.
Currently, Glück is an adjunct professor and Rosenkranz Writer in Residence at Yale University. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1]
Early lifeEdit
Louise Glück was born in New York City on April 22, 1943. She is the eldest of two surviving daughters of Daniel Glück, a businessman, and Beatrice Glück (née Grosby), a homemaker.[2]
Glück's paternal grandparents, Hungarian Jews, emigrated to the United States, where they eventually owned a grocery store in New York. Glück's father was the first member of his family born in the United States. He had an ambition to become a writer, but went into business with his brother-in-law.[3] Together, they achieved success when they invented the X-Acto Knife.[4] Glück's mother was a graduate of Wellesley College. From an early age, Glück received from her parents an education in Greek mythology and classic stories such as the legend of Joan of Arc.[5] She began to write poetry at an early age.[6]
As a teenager, Glück developed anorexia nervosa, which became the defining challenge of her late teenage and young adult years. She has described the illness, in one essay, as the result of an effort to assert her independence from her mother.[7] Elsewhere, she has connected her illness to the death of an elder sister, an event that occurred before she was born.[2] During the fall of her senior year at George W. Hewlett High School, in Hewlett, New York, she began psychoanalytic treatment. A few months later, she was taken out of school in order to focus on her rehabilitation, although she still graduated in 1961.[8] Of that decision, she has written, "I understood that at some point I was going to die. What I knew more vividly, more viscerally, was that I did not want to die".[7] She spent the next seven years in therapy, which she has credited with helping her to overcome the illness and teaching her how to think.[9]
As a result of her condition, Glück did not enroll in college as a full-time student. She has described her decision to forgo higher education in favor of therapy as necessary: "…my emotional condition, my extreme rigidity of behavior and frantic dependence on ritual made other forms of education impossible".[10] Instead, she took a poetry class at Sarah Lawrence College and, from 1963 to 1965, she enrolled in poetry workshops at Columbia University's School of General Education, which offered programs for non-traditional students.[11][12] While there, she studied with Léonie Adams and Stanley Kunitz. She has credited these teachers as significant mentors in her development as a poet.[13]
After leaving Columbia without a degree, Glück supported herself with secretarial work.[14] She married Charles Hertz, Jr., in 1967. The marriage ended in divorce.[15] In 1968, Glück published her first collection of poems, Firstborn, which received some positive critical attention. However, she then experienced a prolonged case of writer's block, which was only cured, she has claimed, after 1971, when she began to teach poetry at Goddard College in Vermont.[14][16] The poems she wrote during this time were collected in her second book, The House on Marshland (1975), which many critics have regarded as her breakthrough work, signaling her "discovery of a distinctive voice".[17]
In 1973, Glück gave birth to a son, Noah, with her partner, John Dranow, an author who had started the summer writing program at Goddard College.[17][18] In 1977, she and Dranow were married.[15] In 1980, Dranow and Francis Voigt, the husband of poet Ellen Bryant Voigt, co-founded the New England Culinary Institute as a private, for-profit college. Glück and Bryant Voigt were early investors in the institute and served on its board of directors.[18]
In 1980, Glück's third collection, Descending Figure, was published. It received some criticism for its tone and subject matter: for example, the poet Greg Kuzma accused Glück of being a "child hater" for her now widely anthologized poem, "The Drowned Children".[19] On the whole, however, the book was well received. In the same year, a fire destroyed Glück's house in Vermont, resulting in the loss of all of her possessions.[15] In the wake of that tragedy, Glück began to write the poems that would later be collected in her award-winning work, The Triumph of Achilles (1985). Writing in The New York Times, the author and critic Liz Rosenberg described the collection as "clearer, purer, and sharper" than Glück's previous work.[20] The critic Peter Stitt, writing in The Georgia Review, declared that the book showed Glück to be "among the important poets of our age".[21] From the collection, the poem "Mock Orange", which has been likened to a feminist anthem,[22] has been called an "anthology piece" for how frequently it has appeared in poetry anthologies and college courses.[23]
In 1984, Glück joined the faculty of Williams College in Massachusetts as a senior lecturer in the English Department.[24] The following year, her father died.[25] The loss prompted her to begin a new collection of poems, Ararat (1990), the title of which references the mountain of the Genesis flood narrative. Writing in The New York Times in 2012, the critic Dwight Garner called it "the most brutal and sorrow-filled book of American poetry published in the last 25 years".[26] Glück then followed this collection in 1992 with one of her most popular and critically acclaimed books, The Wild Iris, which, in its poems, features garden flowers in conversation with a gardener and a deity about the nature of life. Publishers Weekly proclaimed it an "important book" that showcased "poetry of great beauty".[27] The critic Elizabeth Lund, writing in The Christian Science Monitor, called it "a milestone work".[28] It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1993, cementing Glück's reputation as a preeminent American poet.
While the 1990s brought Glück literary success, it was also a period of personal hardship. Her marriage to John Dranow ended in divorce, the difficult nature of which affected their business relationship, resulting in Dranow's removal from his positions at the New England Culinary Institute.[18] Glück channeled her experience into her writing, entering a prolific period of her career. In 1994, she published a collection of essays called Proofs & Theories: Essays on Poetry. She then produced Meadowlands (1996), a collection of poetry about the nature of love and the deterioration of a marriage. She followed it with two more collections: Vita Nova (1999) and The Seven Ages (2001).
In 2004, in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Glück published a book-length poem entitled October. Divided into six parts, the poem draws on ancient Greek myth to explore aspects of trauma and suffering.[29] That same year, she was named the Rosenkranz Writer in Residence at Yale University.[30]
Since joining the faculty of Yale, Glück has continued to publish poetry. Her books published during this period include Averno (2006), A Village Life (2009), and Faithful and Virtuous Night (2014). In 2012, the publication of a collection of a half-century's worth of her poems, entitled Poems: 1962-2012, was called "a literary event".[31] Another collection of her essays, entitled American Originality, appeared in 2017.
Glück has been divorced twice. Her first marriage was to Charles Hertz, Jr. Her second marriage was to John Dranow, a writer, professor, and entrepreneur.[32] She has one son, Noah Dranow, who trained as a sommelier and lives in San Francisco.[4]
Glück's elder sister died young before Glück was born. Her younger sister, Tereze, spent her career with Citibank as a vice president and was also an award-winning author of fiction. Glück's niece is the actress Abigail Savage.[33]

Elected or invited postsEdit
In 1999, Glück, along with the poets Rita Dove and W.S. Merwin, was asked to serve as a special consultant to the Library of Congress for that institution's bicentennial. In this capacity, she helped the Library of Congress to determine programming to mark its 200th anniversary celebration.[69] In 1999, she was also elected Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, a post she held until 2005.[70] In 2003, she was appointed the final judge of the Yale Series of Younger Poets, a position she held until 2010. The Yale Series is the oldest annual literary competition in the United States, and during her time as judge, she selected for publication works by the poets Peter Streckfus and Fady Joudah, among others.[71]
Glück has been a visiting faculty member at many institutions, including Stanford University, Boston University, and the Iowa Writers Workshop.
Glück's work has been, and continues to be, the subject of academic study. Her papers, including manuscripts, correspondence, and other materials, are housed at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University.[72]
Glück is best known for lyric poems of linguistic precision and austere tone. The poet Craig Morgan Teicher has described her as a writer for whom "words are always scarce, hard won, and not to be wasted".[73] The scholar Laura Quinney has argued that her careful use of words has put Glück into "the line of American poets who value fierce lyric compression," from Emily Dickinson to Elizabeth Bishop.[74] Glück's poems rarely use rhyme, instead relying on repetition, enjambment, and other techniques to achieve rhythm.
Among scholars and reviewers, there has been discussion as to whether Glück is properly assessed as a confessional poet, owing to the prevalence of the first-person mode in her poems and their intimate subject matter, often inspired by events in Glück's personal life. The scholar Robert Baker has argued that Glück "is surely a confessional poet in some basic sense,"[75] while the critic Michael Robbins has argued that Glück's poetry, unlike that of confessional poets Sylvia Plath or John Berryman, "depends upon the fiction of privacy".[76] In other words, she cannot be a confessional poet, Robbins argues, if she does not address an audience. Going further, Quinney argues that, to Glück, the confessional poem is "odious".[74] Others have noted that Glück's poems can be viewed as autobiographical, while her technique of using mythology and inhabiting various personas renders her poems more than mere confessions. As the scholar Helen Vendler has noted: "In their obliquity and reserve, [Glück's poems] offer an alternative to first-person 'confession', while remaining indisputably personal".[77]
While Glück's work is thematically diverse, scholars and critics have identified several themes that are paramount. Most prominently, Glück's poetry can be said to be focused on trauma, as she has written throughout her career about death, loss, rejection, the failure of relationships, and attempts at healing and renewal. The scholar Daniel Morris notes that even a Glück poem that uses traditionally happy or idyllic imagery "suggests the author's awareness of mortality, of the loss of innocence".[17] The scholar Joanne Feit Diehl echoes this notion when she argues that "this 'sense of an ending'…infuses Glück's poems with their retrospective power," pointing to her transformation of common objects, such as a baby stroller, into representations of loneliness and loss.[78] Yet, for Glück, trauma is arguably a gateway to a greater appreciation of life, a concept perhaps most obviously explored in The Triumph of Achilles. The triumph to which the title alludes is Achilles' acceptance of mortality—which enables him to become a more fully realized human being.[79]
The relationship between the opposing forces of life and death in Glück's work points to another of her common themes: desire. Glück has often written explicitly about many forms of desire—for example, the desire for love and attention, for insight, or for the ability to convey truth—but her approach to desire is marked by ambivalence. Morris argues that Glück's poems, which often adopt contradictory points of view, reflect "her own ambivalent relationship to status, power, morality, gender, and, most of all, language".[80] The author Robert Boyer has characterized Glück's ambivalence toward desire as a result of "strenuous self-interrogation". He argues that "Glück's poems at their best have always moved between recoil and affirmation, sensuous immediacy and reflection…for a poet who can often seem earthbound and defiantly unillusioned, she has been powerfully responsive to the lure of the daily miracle and the sudden upsurge of overmastering emotion".[81] The tension between competing desires in Glück's work manifests both in her assumption of different personas from poem to poem and in her varied approach to each collection of her poems. This has led the poet and scholar James Longenbach to declare that "change is Louise Glück's highest value" and "if change is what she most craves, it is also what she most resists, what is most difficult for her, most hard-won".[82]
Another of Glück's poetic preoccupations is nature, the setting for many of her poems. Famously, in The Wild Iris, the poems take place in a garden where flowers have intelligent, emotive voices. However, Morris points out that The House on Marshland is also concerned with nature and can be read as a revision of the Romantic tradition of nature poetry.[83] In Ararat, too, "flowers become a language of mourning," useful for both commemoration and competition among mourners to determine the "ownership of nature as a meaningful system of symbolism".[84] Thus, in Glück's work nature is both something to be regarded critically and embraced. As the author and critic Alan Williamson has pointed out, it can also sometimes suggest the divine, as when, in the poem "Celestial Music," the speaker states that "when you love the world you hear celestial music," or when, in The Wild Iris, the deity speaks through changes in weather.[85]
Thematically, Glück's poetry is also notable for what it avoids. Morris argues that "Glück's writing most often evades ethnic identification, religious classification, or gendered affiliation. In fact, her poetry often negates critical assessments that affirm identity politics as criteria for literary evaluation. She resists canonization as a hyphenated poet (that is, as a "Jewish-American" poet, or a "feminist" poet, or a "nature" poet), preferring instead to retain an aura of iconoclasm, or in-betweenness".[86]
Glück has pointed to the influence of psychoanalysis on her work, as well as her early learning in ancient legends, parables, and mythology. In addition, she has credited the influence of Léonie Adams and Stanley Kunitz. Scholars and critics have pointed to the literary influence on her work of Robert Lowell,[87] Rainer Maria Rilke,[76] and Emily Dickinson,[88] among others.

Amarcord: The Criterion Collection
This carnival portrait of provincial Italy during the fascist period, the most personal film by Federico Fellini, satirizes the director's youth and turns daily life into a circus of social rituals, adolescent desires, male fantasies, and political subterfuge, all set to Nino Rots's classic, nostalgia-tinged score. The Academy Award-winning Amarcord remains one of cinema's enduring treasures.

01/17/2013 // West Palm Beach , Florida, US // JusticeNewsFlash // Justice News Flash // (press release)
Little Rock, Arkansas – An Arkansas woman died after a 911 operator error, in which they failed to enter her call into a computer system to dispatch police and firefighters. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), the woman, Jinglei Yi, 39, who died hours after making the emergency call, was trapped inside of a vehicle in a pond with her 5-year-old son. Her son was stated to be in critical condition Wednesday.
An ambulance was dispatched to the scene minutes after Yi called 911, despite the delay in notifying police and firefighters. The operator who handled the call has reportedly been placed on paid administrative leave as the circumstances of the incident are being investigated.
Laura Martin, who directs the city police and fire departments' communications branch, is quoted in the report as stating of proper protocol, "Proper protocol would be … we have a one-button transfer switch where you get (the ambulance service) on the line and you remain on the line with them until you're sure that they have handled the call."

Earlier today Tamron announced a new super zoom telephoto lens for Sony FE mount cameras – the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD. This compact long-zoom telephoto lens should be ideal for travel when paired with an A7 series camera and is small and light enough that you won't feel like you are taking an uncomfortable weight on the go.
The 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD has already leaked a few days ago and it brings a new type of lens to the Tamron existing line for Sony FE cameras which so far focused on professional constant aperture lenses. Although the target audience for this lens might be a bit different it is still designed with the sample principles in mind – small and light form factor, simple body design (no buttons except the zoom lock) and a similar filter thread (67mm) across the entire line. The lens is also weatherproof and uses a similar hood to some of the others in the line.
Here are some specs for the Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD:
- 28-200mm focal length and FF coverage.with F2.8-5.6 aperture.
- 18 elements with 14 groups (including Aspherical, hybrid aspherical, extra-low dispersion, low-dispersion elements).
- Coating – BBAR coating.
- RXD low noise stepping motor for autofocus.
- Min focus distance – 19.1cm (7.5″) at 28mm and 80cm (31.5″) at 200mm.
- Macro magnification – up to 1:3.1.
- Filter thread – 67mm.
- Aperture blades – 9.
- Length – 117mm.
- Weight – 576g.
- Mount – Sony E-mount.
- Price – $730, availability late June 2020 (can change based on your global location/pandemic status).
Above you can see a first hands-on video by Justin Vasquez from Precision Camera and Video looking at the lens and below you can find another video by Digital Goja looking at the lens (both are not true full reviews but they can give you a first look at this new lens.

The life of a naive young man from a small Austrian town is changed forever after he moves to Vienna to learn a trade from a tobacconist. Soon, he will befriend Sigmund Freud, confront rising anti- Semitism, and—most importantly—refuse to be a bystander.
Screening on March 8 is underwritten by Sam Pitluck, Ph.D. & Riva Gambert in memory of Steve Hallert, Z"l.
Part of International Film Series, screening on March 15 is co-sponsored by Congregation Beth Emek, CCJCC and Tri-Valley Cultural Jews, and is underwritten by Karen and Jim Holtz.

BEAR IN MIND Learn by saying things you shouldn't
As you know, Mandarin is a tonal language with many homonyms. As a result, sometimes people will use the wrong tones and end up saying something unintended. Sometimes these unintended utterances can be quite embarrassing, but also very funny.
Here are some common mistakes you should avoid:
Wǒ zài xiě lùnwén, zhǔnbèi dàbiàn.
我 在 写 论文, 准备 大便。
You're trying to say:
I am writing the paper and preparing to defend (dábiàn, 答辩) my thesis.
What you actually said:
I am preparing for shit (dàbiàn, 大便).
Duìbùqǐ, wǒ wán le.
对不起,我 完 了。
You're trying to say:
Sorry, I am late (wǎn le, 晚了).
What you actually said:
Sorry, I am finished (wán le, 完了).
Wǒ kěyǐ wěn nǐ mā?
我 可以 吻 你妈?
You're trying to say:
Can I ask (wèn, 问) you (rhetorical)?
What you actually said:
I can kiss (wěn, 吻) your mother (mā, 妈).
TALKING POINTS A supplement for grammar practice
A supplement for grammar practice Cái (才) and jiù (就) are confusing for many Chinese learners. So let's clear out the confusion and learn to use them the correct way.
Time Point + 才 (cái) / 就 (jiù)
When the speaker thinks the action happens early, use jiù (就).
Tā zǎoshang wǔdiǎn jiù qǐchuáng le.
他 早上 五点 就 起床 了。
He was already up at five in the morning.
When the speaker thinks the action happens late, use cái (才).
Tā wǎnshang shídiǎn cái xiàbān.
他 晚上 十点 才 下班。
He did not get off work until 10 in the evening
才(cái) / 就(jiù) + Time Point (The order is changed, thus the meaning will be the opposite.)
When the speaker thinks the action happens late, use就 (jiù).
Zuówǎn jiābān huídào jiā jiù shíyīdiǎn le.
昨晚 加班,回到 家 就 十一点 了。
Last night I worked overtime. When I returned home, it was already 11 p.m.
When the speaker thinks the action happens early, use cái (才).
Jīntiān méi dǔchē, dào gōngsī cái qīdiǎn.
今天 没 堵车,到 公司 才 七点。
There was no traffic jam today. It was only 7 when I arrived at the company.
CARTOON CHARACTERS Mnemonic devices that work
The radical we are going to talk about this month is hé, 禾 , which is the radical for 'grain.' It looks like a tree (木) with the top bent over to represent the head of a ripened grain. When you see 禾 in a Chinese character, you will guess the meaning will be related to grain or plants.
qiū (秋) – autumn, n.
Tip: Autumn is the harvest season. The grain, 禾 , ripens under the fiery heat (火) of the sun. September 27 is an important day in China: zhōngqiūjié (中秋节), Mid-autumn Festival.
zhòng (种) – plant, v.
Tip: You may already know the right part zhōng, 中 is for China, 中国. China is an agricultural country. And 中 also indicates the pronunciation of this character.

West Ham Women snap up Czech star Svitkova
PUBLISHED: 11:00 16 July 2020 | UPDATED: 11:00 16 July 2020
Arfa Griffiths Photographers
West Ham United Women have completed the signing of Czech Republic international Katerina Svitkova from Slavia Prague.
Svitkova has won the Czech Republic player of the year award on three occasions and netted 188 goals in just 177 appearances for Slavia, ending the 2016/17 and 2017/18 campaigns as the top scorer in the Czech First Division.
The first of Svitková's awards came in 2015 before the midfielder won the honour in back-to-back seasons – 2018 and 2019.
At international level, Svitková made her full senior debut as a 17-year-old for the Czech Republic in February 2014, featuring in a FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Italy. So far she has 31 caps to her name, with 17 goals scored for her country.
I'm very excited to join West Ham," the 24-year-old told whufc.com. "It's a very big club, with a big history and in a very nice city. I hope I can help the club to achieve their goals and I hope we will be successful."
Hammers boss Matt Beard is delighted to secure her signature as he explained: "I'm really excited to work with Katerina.
You may also want to watch:
"She is a player I've been tracking for some time now and her record at Slavia Prague and at international level speaks for itself.
"She proved herself a key player for club and country from a young age and, from my perspective, she's going to be a great addition to our team.
"She creates and scores goals, and she's got a fantastic work ethic. I'm really excited to see what she brings to the table for us."
Svitková helped Slavia Prague win five league titles during her time at the club, in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2020.
The team also lifted two Czech Women's Cups – in 2014 and 2016 – to complete a domestic double in those campaigns.
Svitkova has played against English opposition before as she featured in Slavia Prague's Champions League tie with Arsenal during the 2019-20 season.
She becomes West Ham's third summer signing as she follows Maz Pacheco and Mackenzie Arnold to east London.

Have been taking my daughter here for almost a year now. NEVER had any issues. Only time we had an appointment rescheduled was because doctor was requesting more time with patients. We both love doctor and he is very patient thorough and takes his time,never makes us feel rushed.He only prescribes what he feels necessary and doesn't try to overload her on meds. He makes sure we are both comfortable with any changes before he makes them. I highly recommend this place and Dr Chavez-Rice

The medical provider and counselors are great. The girls in the front office are always nice and willing to help. I love the fact that they offer case worker services for children. This place takes a team effort in helping my child through recovery with doctors, therapist, and social workers all working towards the same goal.

At Amanacer Health Systems, located in scenic El Paso, Texas, individualized addiction treatment programs are aimed at fitting the specific requirements of the patient. With unique treatment plans that are tailor-made to suit the individual, addicts will have every opportunity to overcome their addiction.
Just before the patient begins treatment at Amanacer Health Systems, a comprehensive patient assessment will be conducted in order to determine which treatment method will work best. No matter what age group the individual belongs to, treatment is available to those of all ages . In order to obtain a life that is free of addiction, the addict has to be in the mindset of 'recovery'. This means that the idea of sobriety is already planted in the individual's mind and therefore will want to work toward achieving that goal.
The dedicated staff members at Amanacer Health Systems are committed to the recovery of the patient and will do everything in their power to help them throughout this trying time. Reaching personal life goals is possible but it requires the addict to kick the habit of abusing drugs and alcohol in order to obtain them. This is exactly why facilities for addiction treatment exist.
There is no reason that treatment shouldn't begin today, so contact Amanacer Health Systems and discuss the various treatment options today. Breaking the cycle of addiction is difficult which is why treatment facilities are here to help. Typically speaking, addicts fail when it comes to seeking treatment on their own as not all facilities out there are as reputable as others. At Amanacer Health Systems, the staff is dedicated to helping their patients succeed in recovery. It's never too late to seek help and assistance with drug or alcohol addiction.
Amanacer Health Systems strives to show addicts that there is a life outside of addiction and through treatment; Addicts will be able to take control of their lives. Patients are also urged to attend relapse prevention programs even after treatment is completed in order to mitigate the chances of relapse in the future.
The time to get help for addiction is now.

Bil's rating (out of 5): BBBB.5.
United Kingdom/USA, 1996. Polygram Filmed Entertainment, Propaganda Films. Screenplay by Laura Jones, based on the novel by Henry James. Cinematography by Stuart Dryburgh. Produced by Steve Golin, Monty Montgomery. Music by Wojciech Kilar. Production Design by Janet Patterson. Costume Design by Janet Patterson. Film Editing by Veronika Jenet. Academy Awards 1996. Golden Globe Awards 1996. New York Film Critics Awards 1996.
One of the richest and most rewarding adaptations of a Henry James novel. Nicole Kidman is at her peak as a young woman from America who travels to Europe to visit relatives, only to be flummoxed by countless suitors. Rejecting all her auspicious prospects (a hunky Viggo Mortensen, a rich and powerful Richard E. Grant) she instead decides she would like to experience more of life, something she feels she would not be at liberty to do as a married woman. When her uncle (John Gielgud) dies and leaves her a fortune, she finds herself with the means to live her dream. Meanwhile, a conniving friend (Barbara Hershey, also brilliant) throws the newly rich young lady in the path of her equally sneaky friend (John Malkovich at his most routine), and Kidman takes the bait hook, line and sinker, marrying the man and becoming his emotional punching bag. As usual, director Jane Campion is constantly looking for new ways to visually express her story, but thanks to her genius and her understanding of the writing she never overpowers the material with her fancy camerawork, instead adding to its emotional impact. Laura Jones' screenplay will certainly offend devoted James readers (it starts at the book's tenth chapter), but considering how much paring down needs to be done to get the novel to manageable movie length, we are grateful she at least kept much of James's brilliant dialogue intact.

If you are a regular follower of mine you may be getting a little sick of all the birthday cards I've been posting....but there are I've got 4 birthday just in my immediate family within three weeks of eachother....and that does not include the extended family birthdays that occur within the same time frame : )
Here is a card that we sent to my husband's grandmother for her birthday last week. I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest.
Isn't it pretty?! I used the "Mixed Bunch" stamp set, Blossom punch and 3/4' circle punch from Stampin' Up to create the Primrose Petals flower. I paired the Primrose Petals with Baja Breeze and Whisper White to create a relatively simple, soft card.
The sentiment comes from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set. I used the "Bitty Banners" Framelits die to cut it out and matte it.
Here are all the details:
Stamp Sets: Mixed Bunch, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Whisper White and Baja Breeze card stock
Ink: Primrose Petals
Punches: Blossom and 3/4" circle.
Accessories: Perfect Polka Dots Textured Embossing Folder, Stripes Textured Embossing Folders, Bitty Banners Framelits dies, Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon, Silver Brad.
Happy Stamping!

Dr. K. Kellie Leitch Celebrates International Women's Week with BioTalent Canada
Dr. K. Kellie Leitch, Minister of Labour and Minister of Status of Women, marked International Women's Week today by announcing Government of Canada support to help advance women in non-traditional careers.
BioTalent Canada is receiving funding through Status of Women Canada to help advance young professional women in the biotechnology-based economy of Vancouver, Toronto, Charlottetown and Montreal. The project's partners and stakeholders will review the challenges women face when integrating into the bio-economy, and will develop sector action plans to help young women address these challenges and advance their careers. This project was selected through the Government of Canada's recent call for proposals entitled Opening Doors: Economic Opportunities for Women.
International Women's Week begins on March 2 and concludes on March 8 with International Women's Day. This year's theme is Strong Women, Strong Canada, Canadian Women – Creating Jobs One Business at a Time. This theme highlights the important contributions women entrepreneurs make to Canada's economic success.
Quick facts
Status of Women Canada is providing $231,385 to BioTalent Canada for this 36-month project.
Since 2007, the Harper Government has delivered more than $53 million through the Women's Program at Status of Women Canada for projects that specifically focus on improving women's economic security and prosperity, including more than $9 million for projects which address women's entrepreneurship.
Through Status of Women Canada, federal funding of community-based projects has nearly doubled since 2006-2007, supporting more than 680 projects across Canada.
Canada began commemorating International Women's Day on March 8 following a 1977 United Nations resolution calling on member states to proclaim a day for women's rights and international peace.
"Our Government is committed to creating jobs, growth, and supporting a strong and stable economy for all Canadians. That commitment includes supporting projects across the country that help women advance in the bio-economy and a variety of sectors."
– The Honourable Dr. K. Kellie Leitch
Minister of Labour and Minister of Status of Women
"We are pleased to partner with the Government of Canada on this project so that more women can advance in the bio-economy of Canada, focussed initially in Vancouver, Toronto, Charlottetown and Montreal. We look forward to collaborating with industry stakeholders at the local level to help women achieve this goal."
– Mr. Rob Henderson
President and CEO, BioTalent Canada

OK, you got your ABC Uthing Scores.
Maybe the scores aren't that good and you decided to do something about it. Maybe you finally decided not to put up with ill-health. Maybe you decided to jump from D to C or from C to B. Great! Now you have two options: take the easy way (join our program), or DIY. If you are into DIY, read the rest of the page. It will help you survive DIY project. Otherwise click through to Uthing ProPortions
Follow Uthing ProPortions
Do it yourself
DIY considerations
Do it yourself is exciting, but it can be challenging. DIY takes some serious skills. To succeed you need to define a clear goal, decide what and how much to change, write down a plan that works, and remember to fit everything in a day.
The above can be daunting, that's why less than 3% of Americans dare to even have their goals written down.[i] But without writing down the goals the chances for success slide down by 50%.[ii] No wonder that as many as 92% of people drop their goals within fifteen days.[iii]
Do you know what the most common reasons for dropping out are?[iv]
- "I don't have time" is less of a valid reason, and more of an indicator of poor time management. Everyone's day has 24 hours. If others succeeded, you can too.
- "I don't know how" may be a serious dilemma if you don't have sufficient information to take on the project. If you don't think you have what it takes, DIY may not be for you.
- "I am afraid to fail" yet, the biggest failure is not to try at all
- "I am not sure if the plan is working" doubts the progress. It's true, lack of experience can stall the progress. Look for mentors before giving up too early.
- "I am losing motivation" may stem form lack of support from the family and friends as well as unfortunate presence of naysayers. Always surround your self with people who support your goal.
Six DIY Steps that will ensure your success
If you insist on DIY and want to avoid DIY traps and surprises, study the six points below. These can minimize nasty surprises and increase your chances for success.
1 – Clarify what you want and why
First, what would you like to accomplish while getting healthier: lose weight, reverse T2 diabetes, improve cholesterol numbers, lower blood pressure, or get a flattest of the flat stomachs? The more annoying the problem, the bigger the chances for you being serious about it, so choose your most bothersome spot.
Second, clarify why do you want to do that? To fit into your old pants, to show off at a reunion, to impress your doctor, to get rid of medical bills, to climb Mount Everest, or to have fun with your kids? The more emotional the cause the stronger the chances for you to follow through, so aim at something that is the dearest to your heart, something that would make a huge difference to your life.
2 – Don't just wish, set a realistic goal
Wanting to lose weight is a wish. Wish is something you want, but not necessarily work towards, like I wish for winning a lottery or I wish for aliens being real.
Wish isn't the same as a goal. Goal is specific, measurable, and timed. For example, you want to lose 60 lb. Ok, but by when? By tomorrow? In 3 months? In 5 years? Anything is possible. For example, you may be scheduled for a 60-pound weight loss surgery this week, go on a strict diet and lose 20 pounds a month, or just cut add a carrot a day and lose 1 pound every 30 days.
People who don't turn their dreams into reality simply fail to convert their wishes to realistic workable goals. Don't be that! Make your dreams worthwhile and your goals rock!
3 – Work out a plan you can stick to
You heard the word "commitment" before. But committing is the easy part. The more difficult part is to work out a schedule you can adhere to. There's no point to say you are going to exercise three times a week if you have three jobs, or say you are going to be on a strict diet if your calendar is filled with weddings and parties.
Work out a schedule you can adhere to. It's better to stick to a small change that is meaningful, rather than have grandiose plans, only to chuck them to the curb three days later. If you made plans before, but you "could not commit", instead of beating yourself up, make up a plan that fits better in your life circumstances.
To start make upgrades to those 5 health ingredients. If your score is less than a B, for sure at least one of those ingredients is missing. If it turns out your plan calls for better nutrition and focuses on avoidance of junk food, you are in luck. 69 Pleasures is a zero-junk cookbook that does not require kitchen upgrades, exotic ingredients, or a chef's credentials. 69 Pleasures recipes are extremely simple, use common ingredients, yet end up tasting as if made by a world-famous cook. Give it a try
4 – Focus on the plan
Life is full of distractions. Don't expect those to go away after you make a "new-you" plan. Kids will continue crying, boss will continue yelling, dishes won't clean themselves, neither coffee shops will stop selling tempting sweets.
Focus. Regardless of your life circumstances, make your goal a priority. Put a reminder wallpaper on your phone, so you can look at it 20 times a day. Download a habit-forming app or stick a note on the fridge. Repeat an affirmation in your head every hour, or simply tell a friend to keep you on track.
Armed with the reminders, you will be less likely to get distracted by the daily noise and your chances of success will go up exponentially. If your goal is workable, your plan is sound, there is no reason for distractions to ruin it.
5 – Check your progress
Your goal may be far away and you should check periodically if you are on track. For example, you may want to lose 60 lb in three months, but you haven't lost anything in three weeks. Should you not reassess your plan to see why things aren't working?
Check your progress in timed intervals. Regular checks are the key to eliminating nasty disappointments at the end. If something is not working, don't just give up. Instead, look for reasons. Is your goal overly optimistic, does the plan need adjustment, or maybe you need to focus more? Whatever the reason, find it, and fix it. Running away is the last thing you want to do. Succeeding at goals is not a rocket science. It is a skill, just like walking, or skating. Keep working on it and before you know it success is your second nature.
6 – Reassess at the end
If you set your goal for 60 days, great! 60 days is a perfect time to recheck your ABC as well. If your program has been well designed, you should see improvement in many aspects of your health. Go to the Uthing Score page and redo all your tests. Compare them to the scores you got before you started your health journey.
Are you there yet? Are you your ideal self, or you have to go further? If yes, set another goal, make another plan, focus, and go for another round. Keep on going till your dream becomes a reality.

DRS North Texas fulfills children's wish list
December 19, 2019
(Fort Worth, Texas) DRS North Texas, Inc. partnered with ACH Children and Family Services to give families a memorable 2019 holiday experience. ACH posted a Wish List on their website of toys or clothing they would like to give to the children and families they serve. The deadline to submit donations was December 13, 2019, so DRS organized a holiday party on December 3, 2019, to collect donations.
DRS invited its volunteers, board members, and supporters to the event and asked guests to bring scarfs, caps, gloves, and socks for children ages 10 – 16. Donations for middle and high schoolers were specifically requested because often these age groups are forgotten said DRS Board Member Gwinda Burns.
Contributed items were given to numerous clients of ACH who otherwise would have missed out on the joy of Christmas. "For many, this will be the first time they have enjoyed this magical season," said Stephanie Canfield, Community Engagement Director for ACH.
"We thank DRS volunteers for their generous donations," said DRS Volunteer Coordinator, Linda Bass. The success of the donation drive was largely due to their abundant generosity. Volunteers arrived at the holiday party with bags filled with multiple pairs of gloves, socks, and several beanies.
ACH is extremely grateful for the many individuals who participated in the donation drive organized by DRS. "Because of your partnership and tangible commitment to better the lives of those in our care, ACH can continue to remain steadfast in the commitment to protect children and preserve families," wrote Canfield in a letter to DRS after the event.
DRS hopes the collaboration with ACH makes a lifelong impact. "From all the staff at DRS we wish a very Merry Christmas to the children and we extend gifts of love that will extend beyond this holiday season," stated Bass.
Serving Tarrant County and surrounding areas, Dispute Resolution Services of North Texas Inc. is a non-profit community dispute resolution organization of professional volunteer mediators who provide affordable mediation services and teach mediation and dispute and conflict resolution, an effective alternative to litigation.
