C ongressional employees are retained to perform public duties that include assisting Members in official responsibilities in personal, committee, leadership, or administrative office settings. The roles, duties, and activities of congressional staff are matters of ongoing interest to Members of Congress, congressional staff, groups, and individuals, including those who raise concerns about congressional operations. Most observers recognize that Congress does not function without staff, but there is little systematic attention to what staff do, or what Members expect of them. In congressional offices, there may be interest in identifying Member expectations of congressional staff duties by position from multiple perspectives, including assessment of staffing needs in Member offices; guidance in setting position expectations, qualifications, and experience when offices choose to hire staff; and informing current and potential congressional employees of position expectations. Members of the House and Senate generally establish their own employment policies and practices for their personal offices. It is arguably the case that within Member offices, a common group of activities is executed for which staff with relevant skillsets and other qualifications are necessary. A body of publicly available job advertisements for staff positions from a number of different offices can shed light on the expectations Members have for position duties, as well as staff skills, characteristics, experience, and other expectations. For 33 commonly used congressional staff position titles, this report describes the most frequently listed job duties, applicant skills, characteristics, prior experiences, and other expectations found in a sample of job advertisements placed by Members of Congress between approximately December 2014 and September 2019 seeking staff in their offices. Table 1 lists the position titles and the frequency with which advertisements for them appeared in the sample. Identifying Job Advertisements for Congressional Staff Positions Data used in developing sample position expectations were taken from several publicly available sources, including the following, over the periods specified: The House Employment Bulletin, published weekly by the House Vacancy Announcement and Placement Service (HVAPS) in the Human Resources Office of the House Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). Data were collected from ads published between approximately January 2015 and September 2019. The Employment Bulletin, published online by the Senate "as a service to Senate offices choosing to advertise staff vacancies." Data were collected from ads, which were not dated, appearing from approximately July 2016 to July 2019. The House GOP Job and Resume Bank, which posts ads on behalf of the House Republican Conference on Facebook. Ads were collected between approximately January and June 2017. Other ads were collected from the period between approximately December 2014 and January 2017 from the House GOP Job Bank web page on the website of Representative Virginia Foxx during part of her tenure as the House Republican Conference Secretary. The Job Announcements Board hosted by Representative Steny Hoyer during part of his tenure as House Minority Whip. Data were collected from ads posted between approximately January 2016 and December 2017. Categorizing and Coding Job Advertisements More than 1,800 ads were collected from all sources. Duplicate ads resulting from posts to more than one source, and ads that appear to have been frequently reposted, were removed, as were ads for positions in congressional settings other than personal offices, yielding 880 ads for positions in Member personal offices. Substantially similar position titles (e.g., deputy scheduler and state deputy scheduler) for which there were five or more ads were identified and grouped together, as were related job titles (e.g., positions designated as district, field, or regional representative that had essentially similar job duties and expectations) for which there were five or more substantially similar ads, yielding a total of 704 ads. Ads for the 33 identified position titles were further categorized if there were five or more ads that specified the advertised position as "not entry level" or other signifier of presumptive advanced status. The 704 ads were coded against a variety of variables within eight categories, including ad tracking information; ad details; position responsibilities and responsibility areas; expected job skills, qualifications, and credentials; application materials; and office type. The distribution of ads by job title and level is provided in Table 1 . Solicitations of applicants for congressional staff appear to originate in a highly decentralized manner. Means of identifying appropriate candidates might potentially include reassigning staff within offices, placing ads in services that make them available by subscription, word of mouth, and other nonpublic means of identifying potential applicants for congressional staff positions. Consequently, it cannot be determined whether the dataset of ads analyzed in this report is representative of all congressional employment solicitations. In addition, the process by which candidates for some Member office senior staff positions are identified may not be public-facing. Based on information specified within the ads, most position titles were identified by one of the following four primary responsibility areas (some positions were identified by up to three responsibility areas): Legislative, Policy, and Oversight, Media, Messaging, and Speeches, Constituent Communications, Outreach, and Service, and Office Administration and Support. For each position, at least one sample position description was created based on the coded data. Information includes the most frequently occurring of the following: primary responsibility areas; widely expected duties, typically up to six of the most frequently occurring duties specified in all ads for that position; other potential duties, typically up to six other duties mentioned in more than one ad; applicant information, including characteristics, skills, and knowledge and prior experience; and other expectations. Concluding Observations Categorizing congressional staff positions by position title relies on an assumption that similarly titled positions in House and Senate personal offices carry out the same tasks under essentially similar circumstances. While personal offices may carry out similar activities, the assumption might be questionable given the differences in staff resources in House and Senate offices, as well as potential differences within offices of each chamber. Generalizations about staff roles and duties may also be limited in some ways due to the broad discretion Members have with regard to running their office activities. Variations from office to office, which might include differences in job duties, work schedules, office emphases, and other factors, may limit the extent to which sample position expectations provided here match operational practices in all congressional offices.

The roles, duties, and activities of congressional staff are matters of ongoing interest to Members of Congress, congressional staff, and observers of Congress. Members of the House and Senate establish their own employment policies and practices for their personal offices. It is arguably the case that within Member offices, a common group of activities is executed for which staff are necessary. Accordingly, a group of job advertisements for those positions from a number of different offices can shed light on the expectations Members have for position duties, as well as staff skills, characteristics, experience, and other expectations. This report provides a set of 39 widely expected job duties, applicant skills, characteristics, prior experiences, and other expectations based on a sample of ads placed by Members of Congress between approximately December 2014 and September 2019 seeking staff in their offices for 33 position titles: Sample position expectations might assist Congress from multiple perspectives, including assessment of staffing needs in Member offices; guidance in setting position expectations, qualifications, and experience when offices need to hire staff; and informing current and potential congressional employees of position expectations. At the same time, categorizing congressional staff positions by position title relies on an assumption that similarly titled positions in House and Senate personal offices carry out the same tasks under essentially similar circumstances. Although personal offices may carry out similar activities, the assumption might be questionable given the differences in staff resources in House and Senate offices, as well as potential differences among offices of each chamber, particularly the Senate. Genera lizations about staff roles and duties may also be limited in some ways due to the broad discretion Members have with regard to running their office activities. Variations from office to office, which might include differences in job duties, work schedules, office emphases, and other factors, may limit the extent to which sample position expectations might match operational practices in all congressional offices.

University_of_Notre_Dame

Context: Architecturally, the school has a Catholic character. Atop the Main Building's gold dome is a golden statue of the Virgin Mary. Immediately in front of the Main Building and facing it, is a copper statue of Christ with arms upraised with the legend "Venite Ad Me Omnes". Next to the Main Building is the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Immediately behind the basilica is the Grotto, a Marian place of prayer and reflection. It is a replica of the grotto at Lourdes, France where the Virgin Mary reputedly appeared to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. At the end of the main drive (and in a direct line that connects through 3 statues and the Gold Dome), is a simple, modern stone statue of Mary.

University_of_Notre_Dame

Context: As at most other universities, Notre Dame's students run a number of news media outlets. The nine student-run outlets include three newspapers, both a radio and television station, and several magazines and journals. Begun as a one-page journal in September 1876, the Scholastic magazine is issued twice monthly and claims to be the oldest continuous collegiate publication in the United States. The other magazine, The Juggler, is released twice a year and focuses on student literature and artwork. The Dome yearbook is published annually. The newspapers have varying publication interests, with The Observer published daily and mainly reporting university and other news, and staffed by students from both Notre Dame and Saint Mary's College. Unlike Scholastic and The Dome, The Observer is an independent publication and does not have a faculty advisor or any editorial oversight from the University. In 1987, when some students believed that The Observer began to show a conservative bias, a liberal newspaper, Common Sense was published. Likewise, in 2003, when other students believed that the paper showed a liberal bias, the conservative paper Irish Rover went into production. Neither paper is published as often as The Observer; however, all three are distributed to all students. Finally, in Spring 2008 an undergraduate journal for political science research, Beyond Politics, made its debut.

Question: In what year did the student paper Common Sense begin publication at Notre Dame?

Answer: 1987

In 1987, when some students believed that The Observer began to show a conservative bias, a liberal newspaper, Common Sense was published.

In nineteen eighty-seven, when some students believed that The Observer began to show a conservative bias, a liberal newspaper, Common Sense was published.


from cape horn to the amazon how i got onto the platform i'm unable to say perhaps the canadian transferred me there but i could breathe i could inhale the life giving sea air


next to me my two companions were getting tipsy on the fresh oxygen particles poor souls who have suffered from long starvation mustn't pounce heedlessly on the first food given them we on the other hand didn't have to practice such moderation


we could suck the atoms from the air by the lungful and it was the breeze the breeze itself that poured into us this luxurious intoxication ahhh conseil was putting in


what fine oxygen let master have no fears about breathing there's enough for everyone as for ned land he didn't say a word but his wide open jaws would have scared off a shark


and what powerful inhalations the canadian drew like a furnace going full blast our strength returned promptly and when i looked around i saw that we were alone on the platform no crewmen


those strange seamen on the nautilus were content with the oxygen circulating inside not one of them had come up to enjoy the open air the first words i pronounced were words of appreciation


and gratitude to my two companions ned and conseil had kept me alive during the final hours of our long death throes but no expression of thanks could repay them fully for such devotion


good lord professor ned land answered me don't mention it what did we do that's so praiseworthy not a thing it was a question of simple arithmetic your life is worth more than ours so we had to save it


and you my gallant conseil you suffered a great deal not too much to be candid with master i was lacking a few throatfuls of air but i would have gotten by


it took my breath away in a manner of confounded by this lapse into banality conseil left his sentence hanging my friends i replied very moved


What would be the reason there's an extra fee on my statement?


Is there a way I can get my ATM card back from the machine?


Why did my my transfer get declined?


Do you know why my card payment was reverted?


I'm concerned about a payment that has recently been made on my card.  I do not recognize the name that the transaction went to, can you help me?


As for limits are top ups included?


Can I top up with a cheque?


I found a charge for a direct debit that was not made by me.


The exchange rate on my purchase is wrong.


Can I resent my passcode?


Is it possible that in the distant future, an organism that exists right now on Earth, will evolve to the point that it can be considered intelligent life? Which animal comes the closest?

Answer:
 > Is it possible that in the distant future, an organism that exists right now on Earth, will evolve to the point that it can be considered intelligent life?

Yes, it's possible, but by no means is it a sure thing.  Evolution doesn't have a goal in mind, nor does it have specific end points that are inherently better than others.  Evolution adapts to the environment, and what works works, what doesn't dies off.
 > Which animal comes the closest?

We have a difficult time defining intelligence *within our own species*.  The difficulty goes up astronomically when you look at other species.

Are you talking about technic intelligence?  It's unlikely anything in the ocean will ever develop technology (at least, as far as we can tell - without fire lots of tools are going to be difficult to make).

Social intelligence?  Well, insects seem to have a big advantage there... but they're probably a ways off on the tool front.

etc, etc, etc.

You see the difficulties?

Answer:
Evolution is not directed.

We can't answer this without speculation.


How much can you learn from someone's genome?

I've heard you can learn id someone by looking at their DNA, but what else can you learn if you know what to look for?

Answer:
Well this is fun, we literally just covered this kind of stuff in my advanced molecular biology course.

Your genome will contain variation depending on genetics that has been passed down from your parents.  You may be homozygous for 11 copies of a short-tandem repeat (STR, 2-3 'letters' repeated over and over again in the sequence) where I will be heterozygous for 13 and 8 copies. Your "DNA fingerprint" that the FBI uses involves these regions, when the areas that contain them are amplified by PCR, they show up as different lengths.

Furthermore, there are single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) where you may have an A where I have a C (or C-A or T-G or T-A...you get the point).  There are also "indels" - insersions or deletions relative to one genomre or another.  These can serve as markers for disease or other traits, especially if they occur in protein coding genes.  There are a very very large number of these variations, and I could predict (not even close to 100% certainty, though) some traits about you as well as heritable diseases you may carry.  The debate on nature/nurture is how certain could I be given your genotype?

[This database](_URL_0_) is called Online Mendellian Inheritance in Man and catalogs diseases/traits and contains a *wealth* of SNP and indel data about them.  Doing some mining, you can find tables like [these](_URL_1_) that will list all known variants for a gene and link to more information about them.  This example is the Von Willebrands Factor, mutations of which cause Von Willebrands Disease which is a mild bleeding disorder.  I don't know your background, but this site contains a lot of very technical information.

You may have heard of [23andMe](_URL_2_) which is a commercial service that will assay your genome for specific markers as well.

EDIT: If your family has submitted their genomes to a database as well, we could ID them as well


Why can a person safely receive platelets donated by anyone, but can only receive a particular type of whole blood?

Answer:
Platelets don't have antigens (the things antibodies recognize) on them. What might be a good way to remember this is that they're not made from red blood cells where the ABO blood group antigens are, they're shed from cells in the bone marrow called megakaryocytes.

That's not to say platelets are JUST floating bits of cytoplasm. They've got glycoproteins on the outside to recognize various signals that, if received, may then induce them to release granules filled with clotting factors.

But why don't people have antibodies to these glycoproteins? People have antibodies against certain glycoproteins on red blood cells, right? Yes, they do. However, basically EVERYONE has the same platelet glycoproteins. Developing an immune reaction against them would almost certainly mean death. Super bad thrombocytopenia (low platelets) AND what's basically a bad transfusion reaction, which can kill a person in minutes.

That being said, there are bleeding disorders where people lack some of these platelet factors (von Willebrand disease, for example). That's different from their bodies actively attacking any cell that has them, and they have problems with clotting and blood vessel damage, for the most part.


Why do the Russian scientists have to wait till December to study the water they took from Lake Vostok? (Lake under Antartica)

Answer: Vostok Station is one of the most [inhospitable places for humans to work](_URL_0_).  December is the Antarctic summer, so the weather will be better, temperatures warmer, and up to 24 hours of daylight.


Do different types of wood have different specific heats?

Answer: Wood in general is a very complicated material.  The specific heat of any particular piece of wood is going to be dominated by the amount of water in that wood.  So it can vary significantly not only from species to species but also within species according to what treatment, if any, the wood has undergone.


Can you transmit the flu through semen? What about sweat?

Got into an interesting discussion with the wife about whether she could get my flu from a little WHOOPEE.  Then I went to play hoops with friends and was wondering if my sweat could transmit it as well?

Answer: It is primarily an infection involving the upper respiratory tract. The virus is primarily shed through coughing/sneezing. The likelihood of semen or sweat containing the virus is low and unless those fluids are inhaled it wouldn't cause an infection.


Why is there so much Carbon-14 in these fossils?

I searched this sub for similar posts.  There were some close matches but nothing regarding fossils with such a high concentration of C14.

Here is the article: _URL_0_

This topic was discussed over in /r/DebateAChristian, and I was asked to pose this question to the experts.

Thanks in advance.

Answer: That's quite a lot to read over for so little potential gain. Could you be more specific?

Answer:
There's a lot of crap on that page.

First, carbon dating doesn't work for things like dinosaur fossils.  They're too old.

The number 22,380 has no reference next to it so I'm not sure which reference at the bottom they're referring to.

The premise of the article is that in 2005 a fossil was dated to 20-30k years.  None of their references seems to point to this event, nor does Google come up with anything that's not a blog or some anti-evolution web site.  Hugh Miller comes up a few times, he's apparently a creationist.

There's nothing on that page that can be responded to without vomiting.


As the needle approaches the centre of a record, its speed increases, right? Are the grooves cut differently towards the middle of a record to account for this?

Is it magic or is it science?

Edit: [6], in case you were wondering

Answer: The grooves aren't intentionally cut differently, but the wavelength representation is longer near the edge compared to the center because the speed of the track increases from the center to the edge. Since the grooves are cut directly into the recording material, no external adjustment is necessary, since it's always going to be a 1 to 1 correspondence when played back at the same speed it was cut.

Answer:
Early floppy-drive computers included some models which varied the speed of the disc drive, as the head moved across the radial distance. This is constant linear velocity, as opposed to constant angular velocity.

LP cutting heads are often linear track. The cutting needle is on a screwshaft. LP reading heads are typically designed to pivot. Audiophiles used to argue if this mattered, if the parallelogram of forces on the needle didn't accurately track what was cut. Some LP players therefore had linear drive reader heads, but not all golden ears agree they sound better.

Answer:
 >  As the needle approaches the centre of a record, its speed increases, right?

Incorrect.

The record always spins at, say, 33-1/3 rpm. The diameter of a standard LP is 30 cm, so when the needle is at the outer edge, it passes along about 90 cm of groove for each revolution, or about 52 cm per second. If the diameter of the label is about 10 cm, then when the needle gets in to the center, it passes along only about 30 cm per revolution, or 17 cm per second.


In a chemical reaction, if the product has a lower energy than the reactant, why doesn't all reactant convert to product?

If there is a reaction: A-- > B and B is more stable or has a lower energy than A, then the equilibrium position will typically be more B than A. But, why doesn't all A convert to B if B has lower energy?

Answer: Reactions have an [activation energy](_URL_0_) associated that acts as a barrier from all reactants rapidly and spontaneously turning into products. That is, there requires some extra energy put into the reaction before it can proceed. Commonly this is heat energy - hence reactions occurring faster at higher temperatures.


Why is there such a thing as "critical mass" for a radioactive material? Why couldn't the chain reaction sustain itself with less mass than the critical amount? How is this mass calculated?

Answer:
The reason for the chain reaction in the first place, is a chance for a neutron emitted by an atom to hit another atom. This event in turn emits even more neutrons. If those manage to hit an atom, the chain will continue.

Critical mass ensures that emitted neutrons do not just miss everything and fly away, but they keep hitting more atoms (because there are enough atoms around). This gives you a sustainable chain reaction.

There is no simple formula for calculating the exact value of the critical mass. It depends on cross section of the material, energy of emitted neutrons, presence of neutron reflecting shield around the material etc. Figuring out the critical mass value for a particular material is basically what physicists get paid for.

Answer:
Fission results in the release of 2 to 3 free neutrons. To sustain a critical chain reaction, on average, one of these neutrons should be captured by a fissile nucleus and cause it to fission.

So what you need to understand is the parameters that affect how likely it is for a free neutron to be captured in this way.

One important parameter is the shape of the material.  If a neutron escapes the material it is lost from the system and doesn't contribute to the chain reaction. This is called leakage.  A sphere is the most efficient shape as it has the smallest surface area from which leakage will occur for a given volume.  We also want to maximise the density of the material as this will also minimise the surface area for a given mass.

The larger the mass of the sphere the less likely it is a neutron will escape i.e. a neutron will on average have to pass by more fissile nuclei before it can escape the edge of the sphere.  For each pure fissile material of full density in a vacuum there is an ideal spherical mass where a just critical chain reaction will occur.  Any less material and there will be too much leakage and the system will be subcritical.

This critical mass can be reduced by adding a reflector around the fissile material.  Beryllium is an excellent reflector, as it has a high neutron scatter cross section and a low neutron capture cross section (I'll come back to these terms in a bit).  By adding a thick shell of beryllium around our spherical critical mass we minimise leakage and thus reduce our critical mass.

The next thing to understand is how neutron capture or scatter cross sections vary with neutron energy.  Cross sections are measured in barns, a unit of area.  The bigger the cross section, the more likely it is that a neutron will be absorbed or scattered when its comes into proximity with a nucleus. After a fission the free neutrons are "fast" and have an energy in the MeV range.  By slowing down neutrons to a "thermal" energy in the eV range the cross sections increase significantly and neutrons can more easily captured.  So if we reduce the average neutron energy then we need on average fewer interactions between a neutron and fissile nuclei before a capture occurs.  In which case the volume needed for a chain reaction reduces further.  Slowing down neutrons is achieved by including a "moderator".  This is a material with a low atomic mass which reduces the energy of a neutron by elastically scattering it.  This is analogous to a pool ball being slowed down by multiple collisions with other balls by transferring some of its energy to them.  The best moderator is one with a similar mass to a neutron as momentum transfer is most efficient at equal mass.  A secondary factor is that the moderator should not capture too many neutrons.  Hydrogen-1 is by far the most effective moderator.  The next best, deuterium, is much less efficient at absorbing momentum energy.   Again we want to minimise the size of our sphere so we want a material with a high hydrogen density.  Water has a good hydrogen density, but polythene is even better.

Side note: Moderation also has a secondary benefit in that thermal fission produces slightly more neutrons per fission than fast fission on average.  This further improves our balance of neutrons available for the chain reaction.

The next point to make is that a nucleus can absorb a neutron without contributing to fission.  This is called parasitic absorption.  This can happen with the fissile nuclei itself, which is unavoidable, with the moderator and the reflector and also with any impurities that may be present.  To minimise this we want to exclude any impurities and to use just enough moderator mixed in a ideal way with the fissile material (a homogeneous mix for high enriched uranium and plutonium or a lattice for very low enriched uranium).

Taking all of that into account we can now design our system with a minimum critical mass.  Most minimum critical masses reported will be for pure u-233, u-235, pu-239 and pu-241 mixed homogeneously at maximum density with an ideal concentration of polythene, surrounded by beryllium.

The differences between the masses for each fissile isotope are due to there different capture-fission and capture-parasitic absorption cross sections and the differences in the average number of free neutrons produced per fission.

Technically there are some ways we could produce an even smaller minimum critical mass.  In theory beryllium hydride is an even better moderator than polythene and could result in a critical mass of as little as 87 grams for pu-239.   Additionally some of the higher transuranics are also fissile and have very very small minimum critical masses (a few grams, maybe less).  Both of these cases are a bit academic and not really relevant in industrial settings (e.g. Where want want to know the minimum critical mass for safety control purposes).

Edit: How is it calculated? These days we use computer software to very accurately model a system.  The most accurate tools are Monte Carlo models that individually model the fate of many postulated neutrons until the statistical error is negligible.  These models are validated against a library of test data.  The better validated the data, the more accurate the model.  There are analytical approaches that can be used, with formulas to estimate the effects of geometry, moderation, etc (try googling geometric and material buckling as an example).  These are rarely used outside of a classroom as the software models are more effective and widely available.

My Twitter certified
But you a certified pro
If you bounce it for me baby Imma make it rain
Tap your girlfriend, tell her do the same
Wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble for me
Uh, take a shot, lock and load, I love what I see
And if you lovin what you feel,let me know that its real
You keep bouncing on my dick, but you can bounce on my grill
Whatever you like I bite, you bouncing that ass jus right
I might, just might, take your ass down tonight
The way you wobble baby, makes me wanna feel it
The way you keep talking that shit, makes me wanna kill it
Uh, grind
Let me take my time
Let me see you bring it back, make that ass recline
It gets me every time, but Imma blow your mind
Imma kiss you where the sun dont shine, lick you..

i can go from feeling so hopeless to so damned hopeful just from being around someone who cares and is awake


im grabbing a minute to post i feel greedy wrong


i am ever feeling nostalgic about the fireplace i will know that it is still on the property


i am feeling grouchy


ive been feeling a little burdened lately wasnt sure why that was


ive been taking or milligrams or times recommended amount and ive fallen asleep a lot faster but i also feel like so funny


i feel as confused about life as a teenager or as jaded as a year old man


i have been with petronas for years i feel that petronas has performed well and made a huge profit


I was born at York on the first of March in the sixth year of the reign


of King Charles the First. From the time when I was quite a young child,


I had felt a great wish to spend my life at sea, and as I grew, so did


this taste grow more and more strong; till at last I broke loose from


my school and home, and found my way on foot to Hull, where I soon got a


place on board a ship.


When we had set sail but a few days, a squall of wind came on, and on


the fifth night we sprang a leak. All hands were sent to the pumps, but


we felt the ship groan in all her planks, and her beams quake from stem

The invention relates to parallel processing systems, and in particular to a protocol for interprogram communication in such systems.

In parallel computing, it is typical for communication to be provided among the processes, or xe2x80x9ctasksxe2x80x9d, of a parallel application program, or xe2x80x9cjobxe2x80x9d.

Usually, such communication requires the setting up of some information in the communication system software.

For example, routing tables often are required to provide a translation between a logical task number within the job (typically numbered 0 to nxe2x88x921), and a physical port or address within the parallel computer.

Such information is usually partially set up when the computer is initialized, with the remainder of the information being set up when the job is initialized.

There is a need to provide communication, not only among the tasks of a parallel job, but also from the tasks of the parallel job to tasks outside the job.

Such communication could occur, for example, between two separately initiated programs running at the same time, and wishing to exchange data between themselves.

Such communication could also occur between a parallel application program (a parallel xe2x80x9cclientxe2x80x9d), and another parallel program which provides a service within the parallel computer (a parallel xe2x80x9cserverxe2x80x9d).

There are several problems that arise in trying to facilitate such communication between a parallel application program communicating with another parallel program providing a service within the parallel computer.

The typical approach has been to xe2x80x9chard codexe2x80x9d (i.e., to set and make known a priori) the addresses of the processes of one program, and to make these addresses known system wide.

Another program wishing to communicate with the first program simply sends messages to the known addresses.

There are several problems with this approach:
1) It does not provide any dynamic information about running programs.

If a server program is not currently executing for some reason, there is no way for a client program to become aware of this, as it has only the hard coded address information about the server.

2) There is no control of transient information about the client and the server, for example, if some of the nodes of the server are aware of the client while others are not.

3) There is no way for a server to have complete information about a client, as it receives messages from individual tasks of the client without first receiving notification that such messages are to be sent, or what the full extent of the client nodes of a particular application are.

If a server task receives a message from a task of a previously unknown client program, that server task will not be aware of which other tasks are also members of the client program, the number of such tasks, or what their physical addresses are.

Also, the other tasks of the server will not know anything about any of the client tasks.

Such information is usually required for proper management of server resources.

The problem is even more difficult in the case where two application programs wish to communicate.

In this case, neither program is run on a predetermined or fixed set of nodes.

The set of nodes on which a program is run is usually determined when the program is initiated.

There is no simple way to hard-code the addresses of one program""s tasks in a way that the other program""s tasks can discover them.

Furthermore, in the case of either client-server or interprogram communication, there is no way to ensure that one program is made aware of the termination of the other program.

Potentially, this could leave one program blocked (i.e., unable to proceed until it receives a response) while trying to communicate with the other program.

Thus, there is a clear need for a flexible protocol for establishing communication between two parallel programs.

This invention provides a method for establishing a communication connection between two parallel programs, each running on multiple processors of a distributed memory parallel computer, such as an IBM SP2, or on multiple computers in a cluster of workstations or a set of network connected workstations.

Such a method is necessary in an environment where communication among processes of separate parallel programs is desired, and where some control, such as authentication of the program with which communication is desired and authorization to connect to that program, is also desired.

One application of this method is to provide communication sessions between parallel clients and parallel servers in parallel computers, for example, to link parallel application programs to a parallel file system.

Thus, the invention is a family of protocols that constitute a method for establishing a connection or communication session between two programs, each having one or more tasks and running on a plurality of processors, wishing to communicate with each other.

The protocol family includes all asymmetrical protocols for establishing client-server connections between parallel clients and parallel servers, parallel clients and serial servers, and serial clients and parallel servers.

The protocol family also includes asymmetrical protocols for establishing connections or communication sessions between two peer parallel programs that wish to intercommunicate.

Protocols that establish communication between one parallel and one serial program are also included.

The invention includes all protocols that require one of the two programs that wish to communicate to actively initiate the communication session, while the other program passively accepts such communication session initiations.

A first element of the invention is that there is a basic asymmetry to the protocol, with one program actively requesting the connection, and the other program passively accepting or rejecting it.

A second element of the invention is that no task of the active program of the connection will attempt to send messages or otherwise communicate with the tasks of the passive program that accepts the connection until after it has been notified that all the passive program tasks are prepared to receive messages from any task of the active program, and also that all other active program tasks are prepared to receive messages from any passive program task.

A third element of the invention is that no task of the passive program will attempt to send messages to any task of the active program until it is certain that all the tasks of the active program are prepared to receive messages from any task of the passive program, and also that all other passive program tasks are prepared to receive messages from any active program task.

A fourth element of the invention is that it allows that the tasks of the passive program be free running during the entire connection establishment.

The tasks of the active program are free to run for the duration of the connection establishment as long as they do not attempt to communicate with the passive program until they are informed that the connection has been established.

A fifth element of the invention is that the connection protocol is mediated through a secondary, indirect communication channel between the tasks of the active program and the tasks of the passive program.


Outcome of foot examinations in Tanzanian and Swedish diabetic patients, a comparative study.

The aim of the current study was to present the outcome of clinical nurse performed foot examinations in a group of Tanzanian diabetic patients and make comparisons with matched Swedish patients.

Nurses working with diabetic patients in any country need to be familiar with foot problems in diabetic patients to educate patients about foot care.

A comparative study examining diabetic patients in Tanzania and Sweden with a quantitative approach.

One hundred and forty-five diabetic patients in each country were examined.

All patients responded verbally to questions about individual foot-care and underwent clinical foot examination concerning existing foot lesions, sensitivity testing using Semmes-Weinstein monofilament (5.07) and, vibratory perception using a tuning fork (128 Hz).

The Tanzanians had more reported foot problems than the Swedes.

The latter reported problems due to poorly fitting footwear whilst the Tanzanians reported pain issues of the feet irrespective of footwear.

In the Tanzanian group 37 patients presented with peripheral neuropathy (PN), 13 with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and six had both PN and PVD.

In the Swedish group of patients four had PN, three PVD, but none had both PN and PVD.

Only 20 Tanzanians reported carrying out self-inspections of their feet, while 103 Swedes reported doing so.

Nurse performed foot examinations showed that the Tanzanian diabetic patients in this study had poorer foot status than the Swedish study sample.

Knowledge about foot problems in diabetic patients worldwide will hopefully improve education about self foot-care and therefore decrease incidence of foot lesions and other foot problems in this cohort.

Leafly

Immediately following its weeklong editorial series dedicate to the legalization of marijuana, The New York Times emerged on Sunday morning flaunting its first-ever full-page advertisement aimed at promoting medical marijuana.

Leafly recently asked their followers for the most frustrating misconceptions about marijuana and the list ended up being one infuriating myth after another.

Luckily the good Leafly folks took the time to dispel each one with data and logic.

Buzzfeed recently sifted through the Leafly website to find some of the most "bizarre" and "weirdly intense" reviews of marijuana strains that they could stumble upon.

From the funny to the revealing, check out their top 12 picks from the website.

One thing, I dont know why
It doesnt even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time all I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away, its so unreal
Didnt look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin to hold on, didnt even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when I tried so hard
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesnt even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesnt even matter
One thing, I dont know why
It doesnt even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mockin me
Actin like I was part of your property
Rememberin all the times you fought with me
Im surprised it got so far
Things arent the way they were before
You wouldnt even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when I tried so hard
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesnt even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesnt even matter
Ive put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
Theres only one thing you should know
Ive put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
Theres only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesnt even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesnt even matter


Shouldve stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but cant keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someones time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
The reminders, pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need, oh
And youre angry, and you should be, its not fair
Just cause you cant see it, doesnt mean it, isnt there
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someones time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someones time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Well I do


Im tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I dont know what youre expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Ive become so numb, I cant feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
Im becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Cant you see that youre smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart, right in front of you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste is more than I can take
Ive become so numb, I cant feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
Im becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know I may end up failing, too
But I know you were just like me
With someone disappointed in you
Ive become so numb, I cant feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
Im becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Ive become so numb, I cant feel you there
Im tired of being what you want me to be
Ive become so numb, I cant feel you there
Im tired of being what you want me to be

Ive become so numb
So for one last time I need yall to roar
One last time I need yall to roar


Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Theres something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
Controlling, I cant seem
To find myself again, my walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
Im convinced that theres just too much pressure to take
Ive felt this way before, so insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
Its haunting how I cant seem
To find myself again, my walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
Im convinced that theres just too much pressure to take
Ive felt this way before, so insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
(Theres something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming) Confusing what is real
(This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
Controlling) Confusing what is real


Memories consume like opening the wound
Im picking me apart again
You all assume Im safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I dont want to be the one the battles always choose
Cause inside, I realize that Im the one confused
I dont know whats worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I dont know why I instigate
And say what I dont mean
I dont know how I got this way
I know its not alright
So Im breaking the habit
Im breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more than anytime before
I had no options left again
I dont want to be the one the battles always choose
Cause inside, I realize that Im the one confused
I dont know whats worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I dont know why I instigate
And say what I dont mean
I dont know how I got this way
Ill never be alright
So Im breaking the habit
Im breaking the habit tonight
Ill paint it on the walls
Cause Im the one at fault
Ill never fight again
And this is how it ends
I dont know whats worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I dont know how I got this way
Ill never be alright
So Im breaking the habit
Im breaking the habit
Im breaking the habit tonight


In this farewell
Theres no blood, theres no alibi
Cause Ive drawn regret
From the truth of a thousand lies
So let mercy come and wash away
What Ive done
Ill face myself
To cross out what Ive become
Erase myself
And let go of what Ive done
Put to rest what you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come and wash away
What Ive done
Ill face myself
To cross out what Ive become
Erase myself
And let go of what Ive done
For what Ive done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
Im forgiving
What Ive done
Ill face myself
To cross out what Ive become
Erase myself
And let go of what Ive done

What Ive done
Forgiving what Ive done


court wizard: Have any else come up this eve? I had hoped for a quiet night to examine the stars
soldier: Yes, a few came through, but it is a cold night for me, I am used to warmer weather
court wizard: Well, you are but a common soldier.  No doubt you are used to such a lot.  Thankfully I have my spells to keep me warm.
soldier: I am a soldier doing my job
court wizard: Yes... well... Very well then.  See that you do!  No slacking off while your betters are about.
soldier: No sir
court wizard: When, for example, was this horn last tested?  It looks dented.  How can we be sure it will work?
soldier: A year ago, Test it out or cause a need to use it
court wizard: Mayhap I will speak to the king about such lackness.  Or perhaps I can sell him a spell that will serve just as well.
soldier: Good idea, I agree, go do that
court wizard: Get off of me, you fool!  Who gave you permission to touch me!
soldier: To the jail with you

witch: It is a sorry state of affairs, as the look on the princess' face testifies. At least I have Felix. He is my familiar. Still he has only has that dirty old bucket to scratch his back on, and that isn't good for his health.
fairy: Still, there's got to be a way out of here. I've got a family, I can't leave them behind! But this lantern isn't helping, I gotta let it down. Speaking of, can that cat fit through the bars? Maybe we could float him down somehow.
witch: Can the dirty wooden bucket help?
fairy: Maybe. Maybe we could fit the cat in it and lower the bucket down somehow. Could you use magic or something?
witch: Here you go, if I give you the bucket then I can see you. Then could I catch you and get the wish?
fairy: Yeah, that's an idea. You close your eyes or something and I'll hide in the bucket somewhere. If you can find me, I think I can give you a wish.
