LAST TIME OUT
UCLA dropped an 84-81 decision in overtime to Monmouth in the season opener for both programs on Friday night. With the game tied, 73-73, at the end of regulation, the Bruins used a 7-2 scoring run to secure an 80-75 cushion with 2:15 to play. Monmouth responded by getting to the foul line, sinking five of six free throw shots and tied the contest, 80-80, before using four more free throws to earn the three-point win. Bryce Alford finished with a team-high 22 points for UCLA. Tony Parker logged his ninth career double-double, netting 19 points and grabbing a career-best 19 rebounds.

OUT-REBOUND
UCLA's 60 rebounds on Friday night in the team's season opener marked the Bruins' highest single-game rebound total since securing 61 rebounds against Portland on Dec. 14, 2002. Ironically, UCLA had not recorded as many as 55 rebounds in a game since dropping its season opener in double overtime to Cal State Fullerton (68-65) on Nov. 16, 2009. Against Monmouth, UCLA won the battle on the boards by a 60-37 margin. Tony Parker had career highs with 19 rebounds, nine offensive boards and four assists, while Thomas Welsh logged a career-high 10 rebounds.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Monmouth's 17 steals last Friday were the most by any UCLA opponent since Kansas had 17 on March 24, 2007 (UCLA won that game, 68-55, to advance to the Final Four). Thomas Welsh finished with five blocks against Monmouth, the highest single-game total by any UCLA player since Travis Wear had five blocked shots in a win over Prairie View A&M on Dec. 15, 2012.

BIGTIME TANDEM
Senior Tony Parker and sophomore Thomas Welsh started in the Bruins' frontcourt together for the first time in a regular-season game last Friday. Parker, standing at 6-foot-9 and 260 pounds, and Welsh, towering at 7-feet and 240 pounds, combined to shoot 13-for-20 (65.0 percent), totaling 31 points, 29 rebounds, six blocks and five assists. Parker had seven double-doubles last season (and one as a sophomore in 2013-14), while Welsh registered his first collegiate double-double in the loss to Monmouth (12 points, 10 rebounds in a career-high 39 minutes).

ON THE HORIZON
After hosting Cal Poly in the “Maui on the Mainland” contest this Sunday, the Bruins will take on Pepperdine in Pauley Pavilion on Thursday, Nov. 19 (7:30 p.m.). UCLA will depart for Maui on Friday, Nov. 20, and will face three teams in as many days in the 2015 Maui Jim Maui Invitational from Monday, Nov. 23 through Wednesday, Nov. 25. The Bruins have not played in the Maui Invitational since 2011 and most recently won the tournament title in 2006. UCLA will open this year's tournament against UNLV and will face either Kansas or Chaminade on day two.

COLLEGIATE DEBUTS
Freshman Aaron Holiday scored 10 points and grabbed seven rebounds in his regular-season debut Friday night. Freshman Prince Ali tallied seven points and three rebounds off the bench, while classmate Alex Olesinski added seven points and five rebounds. Ali made two of four shots from 3-point range, while Olesinski nailed his lone 3-point attempt. In all, UCLA's incoming group features seven newcomers – six freshmen and one sophomore.

ABOUT CAL POLY
Under the direction of seventh-year head coach Joe Callero, Cal Poly returns three of five starters from last season's team. After making the NCAA Tournament in 2014, Cal Poly posted a 13-16 overall record and 6-10 mark in Big West Conference action (seventh place) last year. The Mustangs' roster features a four-player senior class that has made a combined 307 appearances for Cal Poly (Brian Bennett, David Nwaba, Joel Awich and Reese Morgan).

MOVING TO THE NBA
Two key players from last year's UCLA team opened the 2015-16 season on NBA rosters. Norman Powell (16.4 ppg, 4.7 rpg) and Kevon Looney (11.6 ppg, 9.2 rpg) played major roles for UCLA last season. Powell was a second-round NBA Draft selection last June by the Milwaukee Bucks before being traded to the Toronto Raptors. Looney was taken 30th overall in the first round by the Golden State Warriors, the organization that won last season's NBA Championship.

PRESEASON PROJECTIONS
UCLA was selected fifth in the Pac-12 preseason media poll, announced at Pac-12 Media Day on Oct. 15 in San Francisco. Arizona was picked to finish first, collecting 18 of 36 first-place votes. UCLA secured one first-place vote. Last season, UCLA finished fourth in the standings after having been picked fourth in the preseason poll. The Bruins have won the Pac-12 regular-season title in four of the last 10 seasons.

PARKER'S PROGRESSION
Senior forward/center Tony Parker has made steady increases in production each of his three seasons. Last year, he registered 11.5 points and 6.7 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per game (34 games, 33 starts). As a sophomore in 2013-14, he logged 6.9 points and 4.4 rebounds in 17.2 minutes per game (37 games, nine starts). Parker averaged 2.4 points and 1.2 rebounds in 6.3 minutes per game as a freshman in 2012-13 (33 games). He enters this Sunday's game versus Cal Poly having scored 745 career points, just 255 shy of the 1,000 career point mark.

KEY CONTRIBUTIONS
Junior guard Isaac Hamilton was one of four UCLA players to start in all 36 games last season. A former standout guard at St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, Calif., Hamilton averaged 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game in 2014-15. He scored a season-high 36 points in UCLA's 96-70 win over USC at the Pac-12 Tournament, marking the program's highest single-game point total since Feb. 10, 2005 (Dijon Thompson had 39 points versus Arizona State). Hamilton played at least 30 minutes in 30 of UCLA's 36 games.

SCORE AND DISTRIBUTE
Bryce Alford entered the season as one of six returning players in the nation to have averaged at least 15.0 points and 4.5 assists per game in 2014-15 while totaling 170 or more assists. Also on that list are Jalan West (Northwestern State), Kahlil Felder (Oakland), Kris Dunn (Providence), Juan'Ya Green (Hofstra) and Chris Fowler (Central Michigan). Alford played in more games (36) and totaled more minutes (1307) than any of those players.

A Human ~~misunder~~Stand~~ing~~

Trapped under a code of unspoken law existed a helpless body, the silhouette of a foreign and defected lie. It was on the bridge of denial where this deformed and self-threatening creature attempted to gain validation through the manipulation of belief, determination and euphoria. This creature denied accusation but exaggerated praise. At birth, each of these full of thought, yet thoughtless creatures would be unknowingly blessed with the burden of life. A task, which looked at through rosy glasses could resemble a noble quest, or an extended search for unjustified appreciation. In truth, the task was the opposite, instead of associating, joining or uniting, this species openly chose to disassociate, disjoin and disunite, inherently leading to its fatal yet oppressed demise. Although genuinely curious and often intelligent, the creature chose to rise to its defeat, thus loving itself for what it wasn’t, and hating itself for what it had become.

Passive and expecting change, scouring social and political conduct only to grow an acceptance to non-conform, on an ever changing wave that did right to others, but left to self. This creature often attempted to distinguish itself by claiming individuality so it could stand freezing whilst lying on a sweltering background. It was only an imaginary feature that allowed a pulse of self-sanity to remain omniscient. Memories that multiplied the sense of no escape crafted a promise that was already gone, a regret that recommended the colour of black and white. Fraudulence and deceit left a heavy head and feet made of stone, a quest lost, a quest stopped and a quest that questioned a deeper conscience. A painful smile and frown of anticipation, this creature was a twisted yet simple manifestation of everything that it wasn’t and nothing that it was.

title: Got carried away with a creative writing task in school - What are your thoughts?

question: What is the passage about?

answer: It seems to be about the human condition.

question: Is the passage allegorical?

answer: It's more allusory than allegorical.

question: What defeat does the creature face?

answer: It's not a canonical event. The defeat is an allusion to something, but I don't know what.

question: What kind of creature is depicted in the passage?

answer: The creature seems to be a representation of humans or humanity in general.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The passage is about the human condition, alluding to our misconceptions of self, individuality, and goodness. It seems to foresee humanity's demise.

LYNNE GOLDSTEIN (born September 18, 1953) is an American archaeologist, known for her work in mortuary analysis, Midwestern archaeology, campus archaeology, repatriation policy, and archaeology and social media.[1] She is a professor of anthropology at Michigan State University and was the editor of _American Antiquity_ between 1995 and 2000.[2]

Education

Goldstein received her Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1976 with a dissertation titled _Spatial Structure and Social Organizations: Regional Manifestations of Mississippian Society_.[3]

Career

Goldstein's research focuses on mortuary analysis[4] and she was influential in the development of US policy on the repatriation of human remains.[5] She also works on campus archaeology,[6] digital archaeology, public archaeology,[7] archaeological ethics, spatial analysis and statistics. Regionally, Goldstein is known for her work in the Midwest, especially the Aztalan site in Wisconsin,[8] and for her work on the historic cemetery at Fort Ross, California.[9]

Goldstein served as Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology at Michigan State University from 1996 to 2006. During her time as chair she ran a field school at the Aztalan site. In 2005 Goldstein, along with fellow archaeologists J. O’Gorman and K. Lewis, contributed to the sesquicentennial celebration of MSU by conducting a public field school that excavated the first dormitory on campus known as Saints’ Rest.[10]

After stepping down as chair, Goldstein became the department's Graduate Program Director, a position she held from 2010 to 2017. In 2007 she launched the Campus Archaeology Program to promote public awareness of heritage and the value of archaeology, as well as provide student training in public archaeology.[11][12] Goldstein jointly received the AT&T Instructional Technology Award for the use and integration of social media with an on-campus field school in 2012.[13]

The LORD HOWE FANTAIL (_Rhipidura fuliginosa cervina_), also known as the LORD HOWE ISLAND FANTAIL or FAWN-BREASTED FANTAIL, was a small bird in the fantail family, Rhipiduridae. It is an extinct subspecies of the New Zealand fantail (_Rhipidura fuliginosa_). It was endemic to Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea, part of New South Wales, Australia.

Description

[Nest] The Lord Howe fantail has sometimes been treated as a full species. It differed from the other subspecies by its entire underparts being light cinnamon-brown, with a paler throat, lacking the white throat with the dark bar delimiting it from the breast.[1][2]

Distribution and habitat

The Lord Howe fantail was restricted to Lord Howe Island, where it inhabited the native subtropical rainforest.

Behaviour

The birds were very tame, commonly seen around buildings which they often entered in search of insects.[3]

Breeding

The fantail built a cup-shaped nest, with a rudimentary tail, of decayed wood fibre and grass, bound with cobwebs and lined with fine grass, situated on a horizontal branch. The clutch was usually three, sometimes two, eggs.[4]

Extinction

The Lord Howe fantail was reported as common in 1909 but disappeared not long after black rats were accidentally introduced to the island with the grounding of the ship SS Makambo there in June 1918. It was reported in 1924 that the birds were “practically wiped out” and there are no records from subsequent years.[5] The fantail was only one of a suite of Lord Howe's endemic birds and other fauna exterminated by rat predation.[6]

ERNEST WILMOT GUPTILL (5 September 1919 – 20 March 1976) was a Canadian physicist. He spent his academic career at Dalhousie University, where he was department head for ten years. He was co-inventor of the slotted waveguide antenna.

Early life and education

Guptill, the son of a fisherman, was born in the village of Grand Harbour on Grand Manan Island.[1] He attended Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia as an undergraduate. After earning an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in physics from Acadia, he studied at the University of Western Ontario, where he earned a Master of Science degree, and then went to McGill University for his doctoral studies.[2] He was awarded a PhD by McGill in 1946. His doctoral dissertation was entitled _A Linear Accelerator for Electrons_.[3]

The slotted waveguide antenna

Between 1942 and 1944 Guptill worked on radar research, in which McGill was collaborating with the Canadian National Research Council as part of the war effort. He was the co-inventor of the slotted waveguide antenna.[4] The antennas were first used for the air defense of Great Britain. After the war the technology was adapted for use in ocean-going vessels, including small fishing boats. It was also used in NORAD's Pinetree Line, a series of radar stations built in Canada and the United States in the 1950s for the purpose of detecting Soviet bombers approaching North America.[5] Guptill and co-inventor W.H. Watson were granted a United States patent for the device, described as a “directive antenna for microwaves”, in 1951.[6]

Career at Dalhousie University

Guptill began teaching at Dalhousie University in 1947. After a sabbatical year at the University of Leiden he was named head of Dalhousie's physics department, a position he held for ten years before returning to teaching and research full-time. He was described as “that treasure, an excellent researcher and a gifted teacher”.[7] Among his research specialties were high frequency sound waves in liquid and low temperature physics.[8]

Death and legacy

Guptill, an experienced sailor, died in a boating accident on 20 March 1976. He and a friend were out in rowboat on the Northwest Arm in Halifax Harbour when the boat capsized. Guptill rescued his friend, a non-swimmer, and helped him to cling to the overturned boat, but by the time help arrived both men had died of hypothermia.[9]

He is commemorated by the annual “E.W. Guptill Memorial Lecture” series in Dalhousie's Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science.[10]

Fighting Words

The Senate uncovers a smoking gun.

Just before my last exchange with George Galloway, which occurred on the set of Bill Maher’s show in Los Angeles in mid-September, I was approached by a representative of the program and asked if I planned to repeat my challenge to Galloway on air. That challenge—would he sign an affidavit saying that he had never discussed Oil-for-Food monies with Tariq Aziz?—I had already made on a public stage in New York. Maher’s producers had been asked, obviously by a nervous Galloway, to find out whether I had brought such an affidavit along with me. I replied that this was not necessary, since his public denial to me was on the record and had been broadcast, and since it further confirmed the apparent perjury that he had committed in front of the U.S. Senate on May 17, 2005. I added that I wanted no further contact with Galloway until I could have the opportunity of reviewing his prison diaries.

That day has now been brought measurably closer by the publication of the report of the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. This report, which comes with a vast archive of supporting material, was embargoed until 10 p.m. Monday and contains the “smoking gun” evidence that Galloway, along with his wife and his chief business associate, were consistent profiteers from Saddam Hussein’s regime and its criminal exploitation of the “Oil for Food” program. In particular:

  1)      Between 1999 and 2003, Galloway personally solicited and received eight oil “allocations” totaling 23 million barrels, which went either to him or to a politicized “charity” of his named the Mariam Appeal. 2)      In connection with just one of these allocations, Galloway’s wife, Amineh Abu-Zayyad, received about $150,000 directly.3)      A minimum of $446,000 was directed to the Mariam Appeal, which campaigned against the very sanctions from which it was secretly benefiting.4)      Through the connections established by the Galloway and “Mariam” allocations, the Saddam Hussein regime was enabled to reap $1,642,000 in kickbacks or “surcharge” payments.

(For a highly readable explanation of how the Oil-for-Food racket actually worked, see the Adobe Acrobat file on the site www.hitchensweb.com prepared by my brilliant comrade Michael Weiss and distributed as a leaflet outside the debate in New York.)

These and other findings by the subcommittee, which appear to demonstrate beyond doubt that Galloway lied under oath, are supported by one witness in particular whose name will cause pain in the Galloway camp. This is Tariq Aziz, longtime henchman of Saddam Hussein and at different times the foreign minister and deputy prime minister of the Baathist dictatorship. Galloway has often referred in moist terms to his friend Aziz, and now this is his reward. I do not think—in case anyone tries such an innuendo—that there is the smallest possibility that Aziz’s testimony was coerced. For one thing, he was confronted by Senate investigators who already knew a great deal of the story and who possessed authenticated documents from Iraqi ministries. For another, he continues, through his lawyers, to deny what is also certainly true, namely that he personally offered a $2 million bribe to Rolf Ekeus, then the head of the U.N. weapons inspectors.

The critical person in Galloway’s fetid relationship with Saddam’s regime was a Jordanian “businessman” named Fawaz Zureikat, who was involved in a vast range of middleman activities in Baghdad and is the chairman of Middle East Advanced Semiconductor Inc. It was never believable, as Galloway used to claim, that he could have been so uninformed about Zureikat’s activities in breaching the U.N. oil embargo. This most probably means that what we now know is a fraction of what there is to be known. But what has been established is breathtaking enough. A member of the British Parliament was in receipt of serious money originating from a homicidal dictatorship. That money was supposed to have been used to ameliorate the suffering of Iraqis living under sanctions. It was instead diverted to the purposes of enriching Saddam’s toadies and of helping them propagandize in favor of the regime whose crimes and aggressions had necessitated the sanctions and created the suffering in the first place. This is something more than mere “corruption.” It is the cynical theft of food and medicine from the desperate to pay for the palaces of a psychopath.

Taken together with the scandal surrounding Benon Sevan, the U.N. official responsible for “running” the program, and with the recent arrest of Ambassador Jean-Bernard Mérimée (France’s former U.N. envoy) in Paris, and with other evidence about pointing to big bribes paid to French and Russian politicians like Charles Pasqua and Vladimir Zhirinovsky, what we are looking at is a well-organized Baathist attempt to buy or influence the member states of the U.N. Security Council. One wonders how high this investigation will reach and how much it will eventually explain.

For George Galloway, however, the war would seem to be over. The evidence presented suggests that he lied in court when he sued the _Daily Telegraph_ in London over similar allegations (and collected money for that, too). It suggests that he lied to the Senate under oath. And it suggests that he made a deceptive statement in the register of interests held by members of the British House of Commons. All in all, a bad week for him, especially coming as it does on the heels of the U.N. report on the murder of Rafik Hariri, which appears to pin the convict’s badge on senior members of the Assad despotism in Damascus, Galloway’s default patron after he lost his main ally in Baghdad.

Yet this is the man who received wall-to-wall good press for insulting the Senate subcommittee in May, and who was later the subject of a fawning puff piece in the _New York Times_, and who was lionized by the anti-war movement when he came on a mendacious and demagogic tour of the country last month. I wonder if any of those who furnished him a platform will now have the grace to admit that they were hosting a man who is not just a pimp for fascism but one of its prostitutes as well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love & Chemicals: The Memoir
Genre: Non-Fiction

2 minutes after he’d left our 1st private lesson
a pre-intermediate student with limited English skills
I noticed over $1500 in rolled bills sitting under his desk
and my salary was just hovering near $500/month
but I had already learned that Karma was a tricky B*tch
and I called out his name before he could exit the school.
1 minute after our 2nd class he said
“Your boss is most big B*tch I ever meet,
and I no pay her no more, but I like you, you good.”
He offered to meet him privately 3x a week at a local park,
and asked me the price necessary to accomplish this.
I accepted the deal with no hesitation
when he gave me $400 in cash up front,
never mind the Karma of taking a client away from my employer.
After just 5 classes of strolling together
next to a beautiful man-made pond,
I became fully aware that he was an enemy of Ukraine,
a card-carrying member of the Mafia.
He had been a certified Pharmacist at a leading factory
until the government’s men came in to reap the profits,
and drove the business straight into the ground.

I’d already learned while living in Israel
that the distinction between Good and Evil is difficult to decipher.
The Jewish people get so drunk on the holiday of Purim
to remind them that looks are deceiving,
a King and a Criminal cannot merely be understood by appearances.

The line between legal and illegal in Kiev was also blurry,
depending on which was more beneficial for your family.
He gave me a weekly Tip with wild names I’d never heard,
Maui Waui, White Widow, Deisel, and Pineapple Express,
and I was grateful to have such a motivated client.
Upon my departure, he offered me a ride to the airport
and I was grateful to make my exit in a Mercedes 7 series.
My Soviet-era babushka landlord was trying to nickel and dime me
until he arrived and straightened things out very quickly,
and I was able to keep my mind focused on my next destination, Lisbon.
Cigarette lit, windows down, the world in front of me
that familiar feeling of arriving in a foreign land unannounced,
I felt the soothing waves of adrenaline underneath my skin.
Here I go again… until the flashing lights arrived behind us.
“Identification, please,” the corrupted cops asked,
and their simultaneous erections were easily noticeable
when I produced my weathered American Passport.
My student instructed me to never get up from the passenger seat,
no matter what might transpire, STAY PUT, and so I did,
even as they stood outside my window trying to lure me out.
He took a wad of money from the glove compartment,
and went outside to take care of the usual course of business.
The view from the side-view mirror was skewed,
and I could only see random sets of blurry arms flailing,
until he unexpectedly sat back down in the driver’s seat
and said, “We F*cked, they will follow to airport us.”
It might as well have been a 6 series, it didn’t matter,
the registration and license plates didn’t coincide,
and I was there, too, and my plane was leaving their jurisdiction.
“I now told them we go airport, but you say you need money change,
so we only can stop at a bank, next.”
I wished then, more than ever, that I’d been a better English teacher,
to understand exactly what was going on.
He then casually slipped a small bag of Silver Haze into my sock
and said, “We OK, put in toilet inside bank, follow what I say.”
I looked over at him trying to comprehend my situation,
and said, “Did you leave that $1500 under the desk on purpose?”
Our necks had remained straight ahead,
our mouths had been pursed to avoid reading,
but he turned toward me and said,
“Give last class now, what is Grammar for today?”
We discussed the Present Perfect, and reviewed all 9 tenses
in between the hands-free phone calls he was making
to people more powerful than the cops behind us.
“Jaime, we come airport 1 minute, just want say I will remember what you do,
whatever when you need favor, I do for you,
but when stop, you get bag, run to airport police, they OK.”
He leaned over and we hugged it out in a manly way,
and I prepared to run away from my home of 3 years,
in the most peculiar way, but fitting to a tee.
I ripped by luggage from the trunk and dashed toward Gate 9
as he distracted the cops with more documents he had found.
My current visa was official/unofficial, again good/evil is a fine line,
and I chose the prettiest female Customs Agent I could flirt with.
After staring cross-eyed at the overwhelming amount of paperwork I gave her
she said, “How was your stay in Ukraine?”
The muscles in my neck and shoulders finally relaxed, and I smiled,
and said, “It is a land I will never forget, I give it a 10.”

P.S. The Ukrainian bank only had 80euros available to exchange, and no bank in Lisbon would accept the Gryvna, so I had to travel to Madrid and back to change my money, and at a ridiculously low exchange rate, I lost too much money in the end to make up for my decision to take a ride from the dark side. I tried to contact him shortly thereafter for an explanation as I was living on 10cents a day for too long in Portugal, but he was nowhere to be found. So what did I learn from this experience? I don’t know, but I still refuse to my life at any other volume than 11…

A leader with the Glendale Tenants Union presented more than 11,000 signatures to the City Council Tuesday in support of a rent control initiative.

Union captain John Bagdzhyan drafted the ordinance prior to the group’s June formation, but used its members and outreach to help collect 11,186 signatures during the last six months.

Bagdzhyan, who filed the signatures with the city on Oct. 2, was joined at the Tuesday meeting by 10 of the Union’s members, as well roughly 20 residents who support some form of rent control.

“I met hundreds of people who are angry at the conditions of rents in this city [that] are outrageously high, and some of them cannot live in the city. They have to go somewhere else cheaper,” Bagdzhyan told the council.

Escalating rents, a situation he called “unacceptable, appalling and unethical,” are driving the ordinance, he said.

Several speakers asked the council to implement rent controls.

Karen Kwak, a union organizer and renter, said the proposed ordinance asks the city to cap rent increases at 3% a year, allow only annual increases and form a city mediation board to address landlord/tenant disputes.

According to the website RentCafe, the average rent for an apartment complex with 50 or more units in Glendale increased 2% this year over last.

In August, the city of Glendale introduced a proposed “right to lease” ordinance designed to “minimize displacement” by requiring that Glendale landlords offer one-year lease agreements to all their tenants renting in apartment buildings of five units or more.

A city official presented the right to lease ordinance at a recent Glendale Tenants Union meeting. According to Kwak, it was received by union members as “toothless.” She said one member described the right to lease ordinance as “offering a parasol to block out the sun” while tenants “drown” under continuous rent increases.

According to City Atty. Mike Garcia, the Los Angeles County registrar must verify about 10,500 signatures on the union’s petition as belonging to registered Glendale voters in order to qualify it for placement on the next city general municipal election ballot.

Before moving to the ballot, however, the City Council will likely order staff to prepare a report within 30 days analyzing the impacts of the proposed measure. Then, if no legal issues are present, the council can adopt the measure as submitted — with no revisions — or take it to voters.

In software engineering, PROFILING (“program profiling”, “software profiling”) is a form of dynamic program analysis that measures, for example, the space (memory) or time complexity of a program, the usage of particular instructions, or the frequency and duration of function calls. Most commonly, profiling information serves to aid program optimization.

Profiling is achieved by instrumenting either the program source code or its binary executable form using a tool called a _profiler_ (or _code profiler_). Profilers may use a number of different techniques, such as event-based, statistical, instrumented, and simulation methods.

Gathering program events

Profilers use a wide variety of techniques to collect data, including hardware interrupts, code instrumentation, instruction set simulation, operating system hooks, and performance counters. Profilers are used in the performance engineering process.

Use of profilers

[Graphical output of the CodeAnalyst profiler.]

The output of a profiler may be:

-   A statistical _summary_ of the events observed (a PROFILE)

    Summary profile information is often shown annotated against the source code statements where the events occur, so the size of measurement data is linear to the code size of the program.

/* ------------ source------------------------- count */
0001             IF X = “A”                     0055
0002                THEN DO
0003                  ADD 1 to XCOUNT           0032
0004                ELSE
0005             IF X = “B”                     0055

-   A stream of recorded events (a TRACE)

    For sequential programs, a summary profile is usually sufficient, but performance problems in parallel programs (waiting for messages or synchronization issues) often depend on the time relationship of events, thus requiring a full trace to get an understanding of what is happening.
    The size of a (full) trace is linear to the program's instruction path length, making it somewhat impractical. A trace may therefore be initiated at one point in a program and terminated at another point to limit the output.

-   An ongoing interaction with the hypervisor (continuous or periodic monitoring via on-screen display for instance)

    This provides the opportunity to switch a trace on or off at any desired point during execution in addition to viewing on-going metrics about the (still executing) program. It also provides the opportunity to suspend asynchronous processes at critical points to examine interactions with other parallel processes in more detail.

A profiler can be applied to an individual method or at the scale of a module or program, to identify performance bottlenecks by making long-running code obvious.[1] A profiler can be used to understand code from a timing point of view, with the objective of optimizing it to handle various runtime conditions[2] or various loads.[3] Profiling results can be ingested by a compiler that provides profile-guided optimization.[4] Profiling results can be used to guide the design and optimization of an individual algorithm; the Krauss matching wildcards algorithm is an example.[5] Profilers are built into some application performance management systems that aggregate profiling data to provide insight into transaction workloads in distributed applications.[6]

History

Performance-analysis tools existed on IBM/360 and IBM/370 platforms from the early 1970s, usually based on timer interrupts which recorded the program status word (PSW) at set timer-intervals to detect “hot spots” in executing code. This was an early example of sampling (see below). In early 1974 instruction-set simulators permitted full trace and other performance-monitoring features.

Profiler-driven program analysis on Unix dates back to 1973,[7] when Unix systems included a basic tool, prof, which listed each function and how much of program execution time it used. In 1982 gprof extended the concept to a complete call graph analysis.[8]

In 1994, Amitabh Srivastava and Alan Eustace of Digital Equipment Corporation published a paper describing ATOM[9](Analysis Tools with OM). The ATOM platform converts a program into its own profiler: at compile time, it inserts code into the program to be analyzed. That inserted code outputs analysis data. This technique - modifying a program to analyze itself - is known as “instrumentation”.

In 2004 both the gprof and ATOM papers appeared on the list of the 50 most influential PLDI papers for the 20-year period ending in 1999.[10]

Profiler types based on output

Flat profiler

Flat profilers compute the average call times, from the calls, and do not break down the call times based on the callee or the context.

Call-graph profiler

Call graph profilers[11] show the call times, and frequencies of the functions, and also the call-chains involved based on the callee. In some tools full context is not preserved .

Input-sensitive profiler

Input-sensitive profilers[12][13][14] add a further dimension to flat or call-graph profilers by relating performance measures to features of the input workloads, such as input size or input values. They generate charts that characterize how an application's performance scales as a function of its input.

Data granularity in profiler types

Profilers, which are also programs themselves, analyze target programs by collecting information on their execution. Based on their data granularity, on how profilers collect information, they are classified into event based or statistical profilers. Profilers interrupt program execution to collect information, which may result in a limited resolution in the time measurements, which should be taken with a grain of salt. Basic block profilers report a number of machine clock cycles devoted to executing each line of code, or a timing based on adding these together; the timings reported per basic block may not reflect a difference between cache hits and misses.[15][16]

Event-based profilers

The programming languages listed here have event-based profilers:

-   Java: the JVMTI (JVM Tools Interface) API, formerly JVMPI (JVM Profiling Interface), provides hooks to profilers, for trapping events like calls, class-load, unload, thread enter leave.
-   .NET: Can attach a profiling agent as a _COM_ server to the _CLR_ using Profiling _API_. Like Java, the runtime then provides various callbacks into the agent, for trapping events like method JIT / enter / leave, object creation, etc. Particularly powerful in that the profiling agent can rewrite the target application's bytecode in arbitrary ways.
-   Python: Python profiling includes the profile module, hotshot (which is call-graph based), and using the 'sys.setprofile' function to trap events like c_{call,return,exception}, python_{call,return,exception}.
-   Ruby: Ruby also uses a similar interface to Python for profiling. Flat-profiler in profile.rb, module, and ruby-prof a C-extension are present.

Statistical profilers

Some profilers operate by sampling. A sampling profiler probes the target program's call stack at regular intervals using operating system interrupts. Sampling profiles are typically less numerically accurate and specific, but allow the target program to run at near full speed.

The resulting data are not exact, but a statistical approximation. “The actual amount of error is usually more than one sampling period. In fact, if a value is n times the sampling period, the expected error in it is the square-root of n sampling periods.” [17]

In practice, sampling profilers can often provide a more accurate picture of the target program's execution than other approaches, as they are not as intrusive to the target program, and thus don't have as many side effects (such as on memory caches or instruction decoding pipelines). Also since they don't affect the execution speed as much, they can detect issues that would otherwise be hidden. They are also relatively immune to over-evaluating the cost of small, frequently called routines or 'tight' loops. They can show the relative amount of time spent in user mode versus interruptible kernel mode such as system call processing.

Still, kernel code to handle the interrupts entails a minor loss of CPU cycles, diverted cache usage, and is unable to distinguish the various tasks occurring in uninterruptible kernel code (microsecond-range activity).

Dedicated hardware can go beyond this: ARM Cortex-M3 and some recent MIPS processors JTAG interface have a PCSAMPLE register, which samples the program counter in a truly undetectable manner, allowing non-intrusive collection of a flat profile.

Some commonly used[18] statistical profilers for Java/managed code are SmartBear Software's AQtime[19] and Microsoft's CLR Profiler.[20] Those profilers also support native code profiling, along with Apple Inc.'s Shark (OSX),[21] OProfile (Linux),[22] Intel VTune and Parallel Amplifier (part of Intel Parallel Studio), and Oracle Performance Analyzer,[23] among others.

Instrumentation

This technique effectively adds instructions to the target program to collect the required information. Note that instrumenting a program can cause performance changes, and may in some cases lead to inaccurate results and/or heisenbugs. The effect will depend on what information is being collected, on the level of timing details reported, and on whether basic block profiling is used in conjunction with instrumentation.[24] For example, adding code to count every procedure/routine call will probably have less effect than counting how many times each statement is obeyed. A few computers have special hardware to collect information; in this case the impact on the program is minimal.

Instrumentation is key to determining the level of control and amount of time resolution available to the profilers.

-   MANUAL: Performed by the programmer, e.g. by adding instructions to explicitly calculate runtimes, simply count events or calls to measurement APIs such as the Application Response Measurement standard.
-   AUTOMATIC SOURCE LEVEL: instrumentation added to the source code by an automatic tool according to an instrumentation policy.
-   INTERMEDIATE LANGUAGE: instrumentation added to assembly or decompiled bytecodes giving support for multiple higher-level source languages and avoiding (non-symbolic) binary offset re-writing issues.
-   COMPILER ASSISTED
-   BINARY TRANSLATION: The tool adds instrumentation to a compiled executable.
-   RUNTIME INSTRUMENTATION: Directly before execution the code is instrumented. The program run is fully supervised and controlled by the tool.
-   RUNTIME INJECTION: More lightweight than runtime instrumentation. Code is modified at runtime to have jumps to helper functions.

Interpreter instrumentation

-   INTERPRETER DEBUG options can enable the collection of performance metrics as the interpreter encounters each target statement. A bytecode, control table or JIT interpreters are three examples that usually have complete control over execution of the target code, thus enabling extremely comprehensive data collection opportunities.

Hypervisor/Simulator

-   HYPERVISOR: Data are collected by running the (usually) unmodified program under a hypervisor. Example: SIMMON
-   SIMULATOR and HYPERVISOR: Data collected interactively and selectively by running the unmodified program under an Instruction Set Simulator.

title: Profiling (computer programming)

question: Are there different types of profilers? If yes, name a few.

answer: Yes, there are different types of profilers. Flat profilers, call-graph profilers, and input-sensitive profilers to name a few.

question: Why do profilers use a wide variety of techniques to collect data instead of just one?

answer: This information can't be found.

question: What makes instrumentation important?

answer: Instrumentation is important since it is the key to determining the level of control and the amount of time resolution available to the profilers.

TILO MEDEK, originally Müller-Medek[1] (22 January 1940 – 3 February 2006), was a German classical composer, musicologist and music publisher. He grew up in East Germany, but was inspired by the Darmstädter Ferienkurse. He composed radio plays and incidental music. His setting of Lenin's _Decree on Peace_ led to restrictions, and after he showed solidarity with the expatriated Wolf Biermann, he also had to move to the West, where he composed an opera _Katharina Blum_ based on Heinrich Böll's novel, and worked in education. He received international awards from 1967 on.

Career

Müller-Medek was born in Jena, the son of the composer and musician Willy Müller-Medek (1897–1965) and his wife Rosa (1902–1976).[2] He received musical training at the Jenaer Musikschule in violin, piano, improvisation and music theory.[3] In 1957 he attended the 12th Darmstädter Ferienkurse in the western part of Germany[4] where he took classes with Alexander Jemnitz, Luigi Nono, Hermann Scherchen and Karlheinz Stockhausen.[5]

From 1959 to 1962, he studied piano with Kurt Johnen in Quedlinburg. He received his Abitur in 1959, and studied then at the Humboldt University of Berlin, musicology with Walther Vetter, Ernst Hermann Meyer and Georg Knepler.[6] He also took courses in psychology with , in art history with Karl-Heinz Clasen, in theology with Lieselotte Richter and in garden architecture with Willy Kurth. He studied at the same time composition with Rudolf Wagner-Régeny at the Deutsche Hochschule für Musik in East Berlin.[7]

From 1962, Medek worked as a répétiteur for the ensemble of the Berliner Arbeiterjugend, and as a composer of radio plays and incidental music. In 1964 he wrote his thesis in musicology: _Die Vertonungen von Goethes Prometheus-Gedicht_.[8] In 1968, his work was first restricted, because of his compositions _Das Dekret über den Frieden_ after Lenin's _Decree on Peace_, and “Battaglia alla turca” (later No. 1 from _Lesarten an zwei Klavieren_).[9] Lenin's text, slightly shortened, is set for speaker and percussion (Schlag-Idiophone, Schlagtrommeln), with the speaker in the middle of the audience, while the percussionists are positioned in the back of the audience in four corners, playing with growing intensity which in the end drowns the voice.[10] In 1977, Medek criticized the Darmstadt School and its influence in the GDR.[11] When Wolf Biermann had to leave the country on 15 July 1977, Medek protested and then also moved to the West.[12][13] From 1982, he ran the music publishing house Musikverlag Edition Tilo Medek.[14] In 1984 he composed the opera _Katharina Blum_ to a libretto by his wife, Dorothea Medek, based on Heinrich Böll's novel _Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum_ (_The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum_).[15] Revised in 1986, it premiered at the Theater Bielefeld on 20 April 1991.[16] Medek died in Duderstadt in 2006.[17]

Work

Medek's works included chamber music and piano pieces, and settings of poetry by Bertolt Brecht which were performed by singers such as Sonja Kehler. He composed many works for choir and orchestra, receiving international recognition for _Die Todesfuge_ after Paul Celan's poem “Todesfuge”. Medek composed two radio plays broadcast by Radio DDR 1. He wrote extended stage works, such as the opera _Katharina Blum_. He composed three symphonies: _Die Eisenblätter_, _Die Rheinische_, _Die Sorbische_, and several concertos for solo instrument and orchestra. He wrote many works for organ. He received awards for his _Die betrunkene Sonne_ (The drunk sun) for speaker and orchestra, a melodrama for children on a text by Sarah Kirsch,[18] and for _Kindermesse_ (Children's Mass), written in memory of the children murdered by the Nazis.[19]

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT filed a motion this morning asking a federal court to compel Apple to help the FBI hack into an iPhone owned by one of the San Bernardino shooter suspects.

ISLAMIC KILLERS SYED FAROOK AND WIFE TASHFEEN MALIK

Apple responded on Friday evening saying the FBI changed the password to Farook’s phone and then forgot it.
WOW!

  Apple statement says FBI changed password on San Bernadino terrorists phone and forgot what it was https://t.co/FbQpSg1f4f

ABC has more:

  The password for the San Bernardino shooter’s iCloud account associated with his iPhone was reset hours after authorities took possession of the device.

  The Justice Department acknowledged in its court filing that the password of Syed Farook’s iCloud account had been reset. The filing states, “the owner [San Bernardino County Department of Public Health], in an attempt to gain access to some information in the hours after the attack, was able to reset the password remotely, but that had the effect of eliminating the possibility of an auto-backup.”

  Apple could have recovered information from the iPhone had the iCloud password not been reset, the company said. If the phone was taken to a location where it recognized the Wi-Fi network, such as the San Bernardino shooters’ home, it could have been backed up to the cloud, Apple suggested.

question: What did the Justice Department file a motion for?

answer: The Justice Department filed a motion that asked a federal court to compel Apple to help the FBI hack into an iPhone owned by one of the San Bernardino shooter suspects.

question: What did Apple say in response to the situation?

answer: Apple said that the FBI changed the password to the suspect's phone and then forget it, thereby eliminating the chance of recovering the information on the phone.

question: Who reset Syed Farook's iCloud account?

answer: Someone from the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health reset the password on Syed Farook's phone.

question: How could Apple have recovered the information from the iPhone?

answer: Apple said that if the iCloud password had not been reset, and the phone was taken to a location where it recognized the Wi-Fi network, the information on it could have been backed up to the cloud and then accessed.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The Justice Department filed a motion asking a federal court to compel Apple to help the FBI hack into an iPhone owned by one of the San Bernardino shooter suspects. Apple said that because the password to the iCloud was reset a few hours after the shooting, they could no longer access the information on the phone.

GLENLYON is a small village in the Shire of Hepburn local government area, Victoria, Australia around 10 km from Daylesford along the Daylesford - Malmsbury Road, and around 101 km from the Melbourne CBD via Kyneton and Malmsbury.

It is on the Loddon River.

Despite being only 10 km from Daylesford and with a growing permanent and weekender population, local water provider Goulburn Murray Water has not deemed it necessary to provide Glenlyon with town piped water despite several reservoirs being nearby and therefore all residents have a combination of either tanks and/or bores for drinking and garden water use. Other utilities include electricity provided by several retailers, waste water via septic systems and gas via fixed LPG bottle.

Glenlyon is well known for its main street of old European trees lending an “Englishness” to the village and providing a cooling canopy in the heat of summer.

[Main street of Glenlyon with European trees in full bloom in summer]

As at the 2016 Commonwealth Census, the village of Glenlyon & its immediate hinterland (the census district includes the localities/hamlets of Denver, Porcupine Ridge, parts of Wheatsheaf) had a population of 389 people. The median age of the local population is 50 as of 2011. The top 5 cultural backgrounds of the local population are broken up into 30% claiming English heritage, 20% Australian heritage, 13.5% Irish, 11.9% Scottish and 3.3% Germany - however of these numbers 74.9% were actually born in Australia, 5.8% in England and 3% in New Zealand. 84.7% only spoke English at home. A reflection of the village as the location of many commuters to either Daylesford, Ballarat or even Melbourne and reflecting the fact that the locale is a popular retirement, weekender, holiday home or hobby farm location is that 44.1% are employed in professional or managerial roles with 13.9% as tradesmen and 21.9% as clerical or public servants. Only 6.6% work in rural or farming.[1]

Glenlyon has a rich agricultural industry amongst the surrounding areas. Cattle and sheep are largely stocked throughout the district supplying meat products and wool to the local and global markets. Potatoes, cereal crops (both for hay and grain), organic vegetables, vegetable seed and lucerne grow in the rich volcanic soil. The contrast of green pastures, grazing livestock, bright red ploughed paddocks and golden stubble paddocks across the rolling countryside, make the scenery in the area very special to the locals and visitors alike.

History

In 1846, Richard Babington and John Carpenter purchased a part of the Holcombe Run (originally part of A.F. Mollisons Coliban Run) and called it Glenlyon after their Scottish home.[2]

[Copy of the original Crown Survey by the Victorian Colonial government in 1867 establishing and planning the township of Glenlyon.]

Glenlyon Post Office opened around May 1858 and closed in 1973.[3]

Glenlyon once had a primary school and hotels but all are closed.

The original general store operated until approx 2009 when it closed. A new general store opened in the old premises, bringing to the town a revitalised heart. The revitalised store, which is well utilised by tourists passing through does duty as a cafe with an outdoor eating area and selected groceries. Beside the store is the local community notice board.

The historic old Shire Hall in the main street, once home of the Shire of Glenlyon before it merged with the neighbouring Borough of Daylesford in May 1966[4] (itself the subject of the local council reorganisations in 1995 into the bigger Shire of Hepburn) is used as a public hall. The Glenlyon Progress Association is the designated “owner” of the Hall. In 2017/18 a large amount of funding was received from Regional Development Victoria to renovate the Hall, which reopened in March 2018 to great acclaim.

A village market is also held in and around the Glenlyon Hal on the third Saturday of the month.l[5]

The nearby Glenlyon Recreation Reserve (in Dysart Street) is also the location of a mineral spring and picnic ground (like those that exist in Hepburn Springs but with no crowds) with a bore and hand pump allowing visitors to 'sample' for themselves the heavily mineralised water. The spring is located to the far side of the recreation reserve along the unsealed Suttons Lane. Parking and BBQ facilities are provided at the spring.

Glenlyon Recreation Reserve is also home to the Glenlyon & District Pony Club[6] with events throughout the year.

The major activity held in Glenlyon is the annual Paint Glenlyon and Dee Waterhouse Memorial Art Prize Competition, held around the Easter break. Entrants must have painted a (recognisable) landscape in/around Glenlyon. With a first prize of $1000 it is one of the largest art prizes in regional Australia. This is sponsored and organised by the Glenlyon Progress Association.

Glenlyon District News is published monthly.

question: Why did the local water provider, Goulburn Murray Water, refused to supply water to Glenlyon?

answer:
Glenlyon is a village in Victoria, Australia. It is on Loddon River and just about 10km from Daylesford. The village's population is around 389 people as of 2016.

Glenlyon is known for its old European tress, lending an "Englishness" to its look. However, with its history and growing population, it seems the population size might not be enough for the local water provider to invest in providing water supply for its populace.

JNANA-DEEPA VIDYAPEETH (JDV) is a Pontifical institute for philosophy and religion located at Pune, India. Established by the Jesuits in Kandy (Sri Lanka) in 1893, it was transferred to Pune (India) in 1955. Catering primarily to the formation of candidates to the Catholic priesthood[1] it is still run by the Society of Jesus.

History

JDV is the degree granting _athenaeum_ of the Papal Seminary which was founded in 1893 at Kandy, Sri Lanka. The seminary was founded by the Apostolic Delegate to India, Mgr Lasdislaus Zaleski and the Belgian Jesuits (Fr Sylvain Grosjean) in response to the letter _Ad extremas_ of pope Leo XIII calling for the establishment of institutes for the training of the local clergy. Sri Lanka, with India and Burma was then part of the British Empire. After Indian Independence, it became increasingly difficult for Indian citizens to go to Sri Lanka for studies. In 1955, the Papal Seminary along with its Athenaeum moved to Pune, Maharashtra (India), and merged with the academic section of the Jesuit 'De Nobili College'.

The Athenaeum of the Papal Seminary adopted the Indian name 'Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth' in 1972 (see the Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth Handbook and Calendar 2015-2016 pp. 8–10). In 2015 it celebrated its diamond jubilee of transfer to Pune. It continues to offer philosophy and theology courses for those studying for the Catholic priesthood. It also serves as an intellectual centre for the Catholic Church in India, having taken a leading role in promoting inculturation since the 1970s. Its “Department of Indian Studies” brings “Indian” insights to the Christian faith.

Programs

In the 1970s and 1980s JDV was the driving force for inculturation, inter-religious dialog, and “liberation theology” for the Indian church. Personalities like Richard De Smet,[2] George Lobo,[3] and George-Soares Prabhu[4] enabled JDV to lead a Catholic movement toward the concerns of the poor and marginalised in Indian society. Sara Grant taught philosophy and theology at the institute.[5]

JDV has continued in its pioneering activities in the Indian church, for more than a decade pursuing dialog between science and religion. It offers a Masters in Science and Religion (MSPR). More practical, contextual studies in sacred scripture have seen a revival, with the addition of a master's program in contextual spirituality. Diploma and Master's Programme in Ignatian Spirituality began in the academic year 2016-17. Also, a pastoral management course was instituted for the administrative and service sector. It publishes an interdisciplinary biannual, _Jnanadeepa: Pune Journal of Religious Studies._

question: What does the text say about how Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth, which the Sri Lankan Jesuits established, became an Indian seminary?

answer: First of all, it was founded by Mgr Lasdislaus Zaleski and the Belgian Jesuits, the Apostolic Delegate to India, when Pope Leo XIII needed an establishment to train their local clergy. Then in 1955, the Papal Seminary and its Athenaeum transferred to Pune, Maharashtra, to join the academic section of the Jesuit 'De Nobili College' when it became hard for Indian clergy to travel to Sri Lanka for studies. In addition to this, the seminary became the driving force for inter-religious dialog, inculturation, and liberation theology for the Indian church. It currently serves as an intellectual center for the catholic church because it has been promoting inculturation since the 70s.
