Cluster Singleton Pattern
For some use cases it is convenient and sometimes also mandatory to ensure that you have exactly one actor of a certain type running somewhere in the cluster.
Some examples:
- single point of responsibility for certain cluster-wide consistent decisions, or coordination of actions across the cluster system
- single entry point to an external system
- single master, many workers
- centralized naming service, or routing logic
Using a singleton should not be the first design choice. It has several drawbacks, such as single-point of bottleneck. Single-point of failure is also a relevant concern, but for some cases this feature takes care of that by making sure that another singleton instance will eventually be started.
The cluster singleton pattern is implemented by akka.contrib.pattern.ClusterSingletonManager. It manages singleton actor instance among all cluster nodes or a group of nodes tagged with a specific role. ClusterSingletonManager is an actor that is supposed to be started on all nodes, or all nodes with specified role, in the cluster. The actual singleton actor is started by the ClusterSingletonManager on the oldest node by creating a child actor from supplied Props. ClusterSingletonManager makes sure that at most one singleton instance is running at any point in time.
The singleton actor is always running on the oldest member, which can be determined by Member#isOlderThan. This can change when removing members. A graceful hand over can normally be performed when current oldest node is leaving the cluster. Be aware that there is a short time period when there is no active singleton during the hand-over process.
The cluster failure detector will notice when oldest node becomes unreachable due to things like JVM crash, hard shut down, or network failure. Then a new oldest node will take over and a new singleton actor is created. For these failure scenarios there will not be a graceful hand-over, but more than one active singletons is prevented by all reasonable means. Some corner cases are eventually resolved by configurable timeouts.
You access the singleton actor with actorSelection using the names you have specified when creating the ClusterSingletonManager. You can subscribe to akka.cluster.ClusterEvent.MemberEvent and sort the members by age (Member#isOlderThan) to keep track of oldest member. Alternatively the singleton actor may broadcast its existence when it is started.
An Example
Assume that we need one single entry point to an external system. An actor that receives messages from a JMS queue with the strict requirement that only one JMS consumer must exist to be make sure that the messages are processed in order. That is perhaps not how one would like to design things, but a typical real-world scenario when integrating with external systems.
On each node in the cluster you need to start the ClusterSingletonManager and supply the Props of the singleton actor, in this case the JMS queue consumer.
In Scala:
system.actorOf(ClusterSingletonManager.props(
singletonProps = handOverData ⇒
Props(classOf[Consumer], handOverData, queue, testActor),
singletonName = "consumer",
terminationMessage = End,
role = Some("worker")),
name = "singleton")
Here we limit the singleton to nodes tagged with the "worker" role, but all nodes, independent of role, can be used by specifying None as role parameter.
The corresponding Java API for the singeltonProps function is akka.contrib.pattern.ClusterSingletonPropsFactory. The Java API takes a plain String for the role parameter and null means that all nodes, independent of role, are used.
In Java:
system.actorOf(
ClusterSingletonManager.defaultProps("consumer", new End(), "worker",
new ClusterSingletonPropsFactory() {
@Override
public Props create(Object handOverData) {
return Props.create(Consumer.class, handOverData, queue, testActor);
}
}), "singleton");
Note
The singletonProps/singletonPropsFactory is invoked when creating the singleton actor and it must not use members that are not thread safe, e.g. mutable state in enclosing actor.
Here we use an application specific terminationMessage to be able to close the resources before actually stopping the singleton actor. Note that PoisonPill is a perfectly fine terminationMessage if you only need to stop the actor.
Here is how the singleton actor handles the terminationMessage in this example.
case End ⇒
queue ! UnregisterConsumer
case UnregistrationOk ⇒
// reply to ClusterSingletonManager with hand over data,
// which will be passed as parameter to new consumer singleton
context.parent ! current
context stop self
Note that you can send back current state to the ClusterSingletonManager before terminating. This message will be sent over to the ClusterSingletonManager at the new oldest node and it will be passed to the singletonProps factory when creating the new singleton instance.
With the names given above the path of singleton actor can be constructed by subscribing to MemberEvent cluster event and sort the members by age to keep track of oldest member.
In Scala:
class ConsumerProxy extends Actor {
// subscribe to MemberEvent, re-subscribe when restart
override def preStart(): Unit =
Cluster(context.system).subscribe(self, classOf[MemberEvent])
override def postStop(): Unit =
Cluster(context.system).unsubscribe(self)
val role = "worker"
// sort by age, oldest first
val ageOrdering = Ordering.fromLessThan[Member] { (a, b) ⇒ a.isOlderThan(b) }
var membersByAge: immutable.SortedSet[Member] =
immutable.SortedSet.empty(ageOrdering)
def receive = {
case state: CurrentClusterState ⇒
membersByAge = immutable.SortedSet.empty(ageOrdering) ++ state.members.collect {
case m if m.hasRole(role) ⇒ m
}
case MemberUp(m) ⇒ if (m.hasRole(role)) membersByAge += m
case MemberRemoved(m, _) ⇒ if (m.hasRole(role)) membersByAge -= m
case other ⇒ consumer foreach { _.tell(other, sender) }
}
def consumer: Option[ActorSelection] =
membersByAge.headOption map (m ⇒ context.actorSelection(
RootActorPath(m.address) / "user" / "singleton" / "consumer"))
}
In Java:
public class ConsumerProxy extends UntypedActor {
final Cluster cluster = Cluster.get(getContext().system());
final Comparator<Member> ageComparator = new Comparator<Member>() {
public int compare(Member a, Member b) {
if (a.isOlderThan(b))
return -1;
else if (b.isOlderThan(a))
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
};
final SortedSet<Member> membersByAge = new TreeSet<Member>(ageComparator);
final String role = "worker";
//subscribe to cluster changes
@Override
public void preStart() {
cluster.subscribe(getSelf(), MemberEvent.class);
}
//re-subscribe when restart
@Override
public void postStop() {
cluster.unsubscribe(getSelf());
}
@Override
public void onReceive(Object message) {
if (message instanceof CurrentClusterState) {
CurrentClusterState state = (CurrentClusterState) message;
List<Member> members = new ArrayList<Member>();
for (Member m : state.getMembers()) {
if (m.hasRole(role))
members.add(m);
}
membersByAge.clear();
membersByAge.addAll(members);
} else if (message instanceof MemberUp) {
Member m = ((MemberUp) message).member();
if (m.hasRole(role))
membersByAge.add(m);
} else if (message instanceof MemberRemoved) {
Member m = ((MemberUp) message).member();
if (m.hasRole(role))
membersByAge.remove(m);
} else if (message instanceof MemberEvent) {
// not interesting
} else if (!membersByAge.isEmpty()) {
currentMaster().tell(message, getSender());
}
}
ActorSelection currentMaster() {
return getContext().actorSelection(membersByAge.first().address() +
"/user/singleton/statsService");
}
}
The checks of role can be omitted if you don't limit the singleton to the group of members tagged with a specific role.
Note that the hand-over might still be in progress and the singleton actor might not be started yet when you receive the member event.
A nice alternative to the above proxy is to use Distributed Publish Subscribe in Cluster. Let the singleton actor register itself to the mediator with DistributedPubSubMediator.Put message when it is started. Send messages to the singleton actor via the mediator with DistributedPubSubMediator.SendToAll.
Note
The singleton pattern will be simplified, perhaps provided out-of-the-box, when the cluster handles automatic actor partitioning.

WHO rejects accusation of inadequate Ebola vaccine in Congo
THE Ebola vaccination campaign in Congo is neither insufficient nor does it suffer from shipping delays, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Monday.
The explanation came after criticism from medical aid group Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
The group on Monday said the UN health agency is not transparent enough.
Calling for an increased pace of immunisation, MSF also charged that only a fraction of the eligible population is benefiting from the current vaccine because the WHO imposes strict eligibility criteria and limits the number of doses.
“The criticism that the number of people vaccinated is not sufficient is not backed by data,” WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said in Geneva.
The WHO is carrying out a so-called ring vaccination, targeting all people, who had contact with infected persons.
Infections have stopped within one or two weeks after ring vaccinations, according to Chaib.

The haemorrhagic fever has infected more than 3,000 people and killed at least 2,000 since an outbreak was declared 13 months ago in Congo’s volatile Eastern region.
The WHO declared the outbreak an international health emergency in July, after the disease spread to Goma, a major urban centre near the border with Rwanda.
The UN agency pointed out that it cannot send all available vaccines to Congo, because emergency stocks are needed in case the virus spreads to neighbouring countries.
In addition, vaccines cannot be sent to the field in large volumes, as any interruption of the cold chain would destroy many doses.
More than 223,000 people have been immunised so far.

GApplicationCommandLine represents a command-line invocation of an application. It is created by GApplication and emitted in the “command-line” signal and virtual function.
The class contains the list of arguments that the program was invoked with. It is also possible to query if the commandline invocation was local (ie: the current process is running in direct response to the invocation) or remote (ie: some other process forwarded the commandline to this process).
The GApplicationCommandLine object can provide the argc
and argv
parameters for use with the GOptionContext command-line parsing API,
with the g_application_command_line_get_arguments()
function. See
gapplication-example-cmdline3.c
for an example.
The exit status of the originally-invoked process may be set and messages can be printed to stdout or stderr of that process. The lifecycle of the originally-invoked process is tied to the lifecycle of this object (ie: the process exits when the last reference is dropped).
The main use for GApplicationCommandLine (and the
“command-line” signal) is 'Emacs server' like use cases:
You can set the EDITOR
environment variable to have e.g. git use
your favourite editor to edit commit messages, and if you already
have an instance of the editor running, the editing will happen
in the running instance, instead of opening a new one. An important
aspect of this use case is that the process that gets started by git
does not return until the editing is done.
Normally, the commandline is completely handled in the “command-line” handler. The launching instance exits once the signal handler in the primary instance has returned, and the return value of the signal handler becomes the exit status of the launching instance.

static int command_line (GApplication *application, GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline) { gchar **argv; gint argc; gint i; argv = g_application_command_line_get_arguments (cmdline, &argc); g_application_command_line_print (cmdline, "This text is written back\n" "to stdout of the caller\n"); for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) g_print ("argument %d: %s\n", i, argv[i]); g_strfreev (argv); return 0; } |
The complete example can be found here: gapplication-example-cmdline.c
In more complicated cases, the handling of the comandline can be split between the launcher and the primary instance.

In this example of split commandline handling, options that start
with --local-
are handled locally, all other options are passed
to the “command-line” handler which runs in the primary
instance.
The complete example can be found here: gapplication-example-cmdline2.c
If handling the commandline requires a lot of work, it may be better to defer it.

In this example the commandline is not completely handled before the “command-line” handler returns. Instead, we keep a reference to the GApplicationCommandLine object and handle it later (in this example, in an idle). Note that it is necessary to hold the application until you are done with the commandline.
The complete example can be found here: gapplication-example-cmdline3.c
gchar ** g_application_command_line_get_arguments (GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
,int *argc
);
Gets the list of arguments that was passed on the command line.
The strings in the array may contain non-UTF-8 data on UNIX (such as filenames or arguments given in the system locale) but are always in UTF-8 on Windows.
If you wish to use the return value with GOptionContext, you must
use g_option_context_parse_strv()
.
The return value is NULL
-terminated and should be freed using
g_strfreev()
.
Since 2.28
const gchar *
g_application_command_line_get_cwd (GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
);
Gets the working directory of the command line invocation. The string may contain non-utf8 data.
It is possible that the remote application did not send a working
directory, so this may be NULL
.
The return value should not be modified or freed and is valid for as
long as cmdline
exists.
Since 2.28
const gchar * const *
g_application_command_line_get_environ
(GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
);
Gets the contents of the 'environ' variable of the command line
invocation, as would be returned by g_get_environ()
, ie as a
NULL
-terminated list of strings in the form 'NAME=VALUE'.
The strings may contain non-utf8 data.
The remote application usually does not send an environment. Use
G_APPLICATION_SEND_ENVIRONMENT
to affect that. Even with this flag
set it is possible that the environment is still not available (due
to invocation messages from other applications).
The return value should not be modified or freed and is valid for as
long as cmdline
exists.
See g_application_command_line_getenv()
if you are only interested
in the value of a single environment variable.
the environment
strings, or NULL
if they were not sent.
[array zero-terminated=1][transfer none]
Since 2.28
GVariantDict *
g_application_command_line_get_options_dict
(GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
);
Gets the options there were passed to g_application_command_line()
.
If you did not override local_command_line()
then these are the same
options that were parsed according to the GOptionEntrys added to the
application with g_application_add_main_option_entries()
and possibly
modified from your GApplication::handle-local-options handler.
If no options were sent then an empty dictionary is returned so that
you don't need to check for NULL
.
Since 2.40
GInputStream *
g_application_command_line_get_stdin (GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
);
Gets the stdin of the invoking process.
The GInputStream can be used to read data passed to the standard
input of the invoking process.
This doesn't work on all platforms. Presently, it is only available
on UNIX when using a DBus daemon capable of passing file descriptors.
If stdin is not available then NULL
will be returned. In the
future, support may be expanded to other platforms.
You must only call this function once per commandline invocation.
Since 2.34
GFile * g_application_command_line_create_file_for_arg (GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
,const gchar *arg
);
Creates a GFile corresponding to a filename that was given as part
of the invocation of cmdline
.
This differs from g_file_new_for_commandline_arg()
in that it
resolves relative pathnames using the current working directory of
the invoking process rather than the local process.
Since 2.36
const gchar * g_application_command_line_getenv (GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
,const gchar *name
);
Gets the value of a particular environment variable of the command
line invocation, as would be returned by g_getenv()
. The strings may
contain non-utf8 data.
The remote application usually does not send an environment. Use
G_APPLICATION_SEND_ENVIRONMENT
to affect that. Even with this flag
set it is possible that the environment is still not available (due
to invocation messages from other applications).
The return value should not be modified or freed and is valid for as
long as cmdline
exists.
Since 2.28
gboolean
g_application_command_line_get_is_remote
(GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
);
Determines if cmdline
represents a remote invocation.
Since 2.28
GVariant *
g_application_command_line_get_platform_data
(GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
);
Gets the platform data associated with the invocation of cmdline
.
This is a GVariant dictionary containing information about the context in which the invocation occurred. It typically contains information like the current working directory and the startup notification ID.
For local invocation, it will be NULL
.
Since 2.28
void g_application_command_line_set_exit_status (GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
,int exit_status
);
Sets the exit status that will be used when the invoking process exits.
The return value of the “command-line” signal is passed to this function when the handler returns. This is the usual way of setting the exit status.
In the event that you want the remote invocation to continue running
and want to decide on the exit status in the future, you can use this
call. For the case of a remote invocation, the remote process will
typically exit when the last reference is dropped on cmdline
. The
exit status of the remote process will be equal to the last value
that was set with this function.
In the case that the commandline invocation is local, the situation is slightly more complicated. If the commandline invocation results in the mainloop running (ie: because the use-count of the application increased to a non-zero value) then the application is considered to have been 'successful' in a certain sense, and the exit status is always zero. If the application use count is zero, though, the exit status of the local GApplicationCommandLine is used.
Since 2.28
int
g_application_command_line_get_exit_status
(GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
);
Gets the exit status of cmdline
. See
g_application_command_line_set_exit_status()
for more information.
Since 2.28
void g_application_command_line_print (GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
,const gchar *format
,...
);
Formats a message and prints it using the stdout print handler in the invoking process.
If cmdline
is a local invocation then this is exactly equivalent to
g_print()
. If cmdline
is remote then this is equivalent to calling
g_print()
in the invoking process.
Since 2.28
void g_application_command_line_printerr (GApplicationCommandLine *cmdline
,const gchar *format
,...
);
Formats a message and prints it using the stderr print handler in the invoking process.
If cmdline
is a local invocation then this is exactly equivalent to
g_printerr()
. If cmdline
is remote then this is equivalent to
calling g_printerr()
in the invoking process.
Since 2.28


Ruby has a number of built-in searching and sorting methods that can be used on various types of collection classes, including arrays, hashes, strings and ranges of numbers. These enumerable methods are powerful tools to collect only the elements that pass through blocks of code that you specify. In order to use these enumerable methods, the collection class must have a built in ".each" method. The methods then work off the ".each" method. Enumerables are typically used on arrays and hashes, but it's important to remember they can also work on strings or ranges of numbers. Below is a table of some of the most useful and commonly used enumerable methods. More methods can be found in Ruby Docs.
| Method Name | Description | Example | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| .map/collect | Returns a new array with the results of each item passed through the given block. | [1,2,3,4].map {|num| num * 2} | => [2,4,6,8] |
| .any? | Returns true/false by checking if any element meets criteria in given block. | [1,2,3,4].any? {|num| num % 5 == 0} | => false |
| .all? | Returns true/false by checking if all elements meet criteria in given block. | [1,2,3,4].all? {|num| num < 10} | => true |
| .each_with_index | Calls a block with two elements, one for each element and one for each index. | [1,2,3,4].each_with_index {|num, index| puts num * index} | => 0,2,6,12 |
| .include? | Returns true/false to answer whether enumerable contains object within parentheses. | [1,2,3,4].include?(2) | => true |
| .inject | Each element is passed an accumulator value and element. Each element is passed through block, result is stored in accumulator value. | [1,2,3,4].inject {|sum, num| sum + num} | => 10 |

DOUBLE JEOPARDY (director: Bruce Beresford; screenwriter: David Weisberg /Douglas S. Cook; cinematographer: Peter James; editor: Mark Warner; cast: Tommy Lee Jones (Travis Lehman), Ashley Judd (Libby Parsons), Bruce Greenwood (Nick Parsons), Annabeth Gish (Angie), Roma Maffia (Margaret Skolowski), Davenia McFadden (Evelyn Lake), Benjamin Weir (Matty); Runtime: 106; Paramount; 1999)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A poorly made thriller, reeking from conventionality and lacking real suspense. It is played as a revenge film about a framed housewife who aims to get even with her slimy husband, but on the way to the film's payoff, the action is dull and unconvincing. All the characters are emotionally uninvolving. The script was lifeless and everything about the story seemed contrived, not to mention that there were huge holes in the plot. Under Australian-born Bruce Beresford's (Don's Party/Breaker Morant/Driving Miss Daisy) labored direction, the film manages to take the air out of every scene, even the one with the innocent woman in prison had no feeling in it. She looked so dolled up and refreshed, that it was hard to believe she was not at a country club, and those jailbird ladies getting her hip to doing underhanded things, like running traces on missing people, weren't just the sweetest dolls in the world. I felt as if I was watching a movie done by the numbers, as it plodded through every scene as if the film was being made for a film school class, while the film seemed alive only in its moments of action.
Double Jeopardy in legalese means: no one can be tried again for the same crime. If, as is the case here, the wife is found guilty of killing her husband, and if she decides to kill the husband, she can't be tried again for the same murder she was already convicted of. The film makes a big deal about this in its plot, but when it comes time to have the payoff go that way, it chicken outs to convention and ends its story in the usual way TV crime stories end.
Nick Parsons (Bruce Greenwood) is a business shaker and wealthy art patron, entranced by his 1911 Kandinsky, as we see him snobbily reprimand and lecture a houseguest about the artist at his fund-raising party, who boorishly mistakes his Kandinsky for a Picasso. In conventional films like this one, someone who rails against the common man's lack of art knowledge, deserves to be cast as the villain.
While faced with money problems, the handsome hubby nevertheless buys his happily married wife Libby (Ashley Judd) an expensive sailboat she yearned for. After lovemaking and drinking wine on the sailboat, Libby wakes to find her white dressing gown smeared with blood, a knife in her hand, blood smears on the deck and her husband missing, and the Coast Guard conveniently by her boat. Though no body is found, she is convicted of a wrongful death and serves six years in a Washington state prison before she gets a conditional parole.
While in prison she gave her 4-year old son Matty up for adoption to her best friend, the attractive Angie (Gish). But soon loses contact with her, and while running a trace on her, discovers she's living in San Francisco with her husband.
She serves her parole in a halfway house where she has to be supervised for the next two years and is placed under strict regulations by a former law professor and now parole officer, Travis (Tommy Lee Jones). He acts tough, but has a soft spot in his heart for her, since he soon comes to believe she is innocent and secretly commiserates with her because he also went through a crisis when he had a drinking problem and his wife left him after he totaled their car, refusing to let him see his grown daughter again.
When Libby breaks curfew and is arrested after breaking into a house to get an address, Travis takes her back to prison. On the ferry, while handcuffed to the car, she manuevers the car into the water and escapes from it as it sinks. Travis will pursue her all over the country as she uses her newly gained computer knowledge to track down her husband. The husband uses many different aliases, but is finally tracked down in New Orleans where -- he is, believe or not, the owner of an exclusive hotel and suddenly speaks with a perfect Southern accent. Travis is hot on her trail and also lands in New Orleans, enlisting the local police for help.
The story made little sense, but if you are looking for some bright spot in the film, try the quaint New Orleans cemetery as a pivotal background setting that helped magnify the suspense of the story. That location scene is all I enjoyed about this rather trivial and commercially made suspense film. No viewer should mistake it for a Hitchcock and have to receive a scolding for that mistake by some film critic snob.

Dead Sea Revival Project sets sail
Israeli artists who love the Dead Sea join hands in hope of giving tourists a deeper experience of the salty lake before it possibly vanishes.
by Jessica HalfinA bright red boat with a blue top sets sail from the shores of the northern Dead Sea. It will journey into unknown parts of this mysterious body of water not accessible to most tourists, Israelis, or even scientists.
The small group on board is jittery with excitement over what unworldly sights await them in the form of salt formations, undiscovered salt beaches and multicolored crude salt displays.
Little do they know they are about to witness the demise of the very body of water they traveled across the world to encounter –the one whose fame stems from being the lowest continental point on Earth (423 meters below sea level), and being so buoyant from mineral salts that you can’t help but float on its surface.
Noam Bedein, director of the Dead Sea Revival Project, sees the great beauty in the unexplored caverns and salt formations that he shows tourists from his boat, the only one with access to this area of the tiny lake.
However, he also well understands its grave danger of extinction.
Using his own time-lapse photography, he points out diminishing water levels. Sometimes, obvious changes happen over the course of just one or two weeks. Some experts fear the Dead Sea will almost completely evaporate by the year 2050.
“You have this contrast, that on one end you have this beauty and magic that’s peering up out of the water, but then the second it’s out of the water it crumbles and vanishes,” he says.
“So, you have this environmental drama but at the same time we do have this pure magic that you are experiencing in this place, and it’s never the same place when you return to it.”
Bedein’s “Dead Sea Story” website includes his photographs of salt formations covered with water, then later peeking out to sparkle under the hot Israeli sun.
These four time-lapse photos show the dramatic changes Bedein has documented with his camera.
Sharing the Dead Sea story
Bedein has been documenting these changes since 2016 and travels the world presenting his findings to raise awareness for this beautifully weird body of water.
Bedein also shares his findings with Israeli scientists at Haifa’s Leon N. Charney School of Marine Sciences and with the Dead Sea Research Institute. He exposed Dead Sea content through interactive virtual reality and 360-degree photography to delegations of marine scientists from abroad.
This year he collaborated with NASA, which took an interest in the evidence of life in the Dead Sea as related to its research concerning possible past life on Mars in similar environments.
NASA invited Bedein to help study bodies of water including California’s Salton Sea and Utah’s Great Salt Lake, from which Bedein will take samples of water.
An artist at heart, Bedein plans on “reaching out through the cultural and artistic world” together with Tel Aviv Museum of Art board member and Tel Aviv Arts Council director Ari Fruchter.
Fruchter brought photographer Spencer Tunick to Israel in 2011 to do a large photo installation featuring 1,200 Israelis baring it all in the intriguing sea.
Bedein calls Tunick’s project “the biggest thing ever done for the Dead Sea in terms of awareness.”
For the 50th annual Earth Day, Bedein and Fruchter will launch an international Dead Sea photo competition on April 22.
They also intend to make better use of the Dead Sea as a meaningful tourist experience through an information center and contemporary environmental art.
“We have big future plans for building a virtual art gallery, and then the very first physical contemporary art museum at the Dead Sea,” they tell ISRAEL21c.
They are working toward this goal in cooperation with the Dead Sea area municipalities and with Israeli artist Sigalit Landau, famous for her art installations of household items and clothing encrusted with salt crystals after soaking for extended periods in the salty sea.
Dead Sea evangelist
“I’ve been a Dead Sea ‘evangelist’ since back in 2010,” Fruchter tells ISRAEL21c, “working very hard on the ground to try to find solutions to the environmental issues that we’re facing at the Dead Sea. My approach is now through art.
“My quote is: ‘The Dead Sea is dying. I’m not a doctor, I can’t save it, but I can help preserve it through art.’
“We’re hoping to be a reliable source for real factual information about the Dead Sea,” he adds. Currently, most available information is for tourists or purchasers of cosmetics that contain the sea’s minerals.
“Being optimistic, there’s a lot of life coming out of the Dead Sea as well, which is amazing to be sharing with people,” Bedein notes, referring to the microorganisms that exist in the freshwater streams that run beneath the sea, and the fish that flourish in the sea’s sinkholes.
A picture of one of those fish-filled sinkholes got Bedein much attention online from those who swore it was a sign of an impending apocalypse.
Adds Bedein: “As much as people can get inspired about the story and get to understanding this one-of-a-kind place we have here, the better.”

Congratulations sent to Queen and Philip on 72nd wedding anniversary
The couple were married at Westminster Abbey on November 20 1947.
Royal messages of congratulation have been sent to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh as they celebrate their 72nd wedding anniversary.
The Queen, who is attending to royal duties in London on Wednesday as part of her working week, will be apart from Philip, who is spending much of his retirement on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, more than 100 miles away.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex marked the occasion on their SussexRoyal Instagram account with an archive photo of the young monarch and the duke arriving at Royal Ascot by carriage in 1956.
The post read: “Happy anniversary to Her Majesty The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh!
“On this day, seventy-two years ago, they were married at Westminster Abbey. Many congratulations!”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s social media account also shared images of the Queen and Philip from the past and present.
Their message read: “Wishing Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh a very happy 72nd Wedding Anniversary!”
The royal family’s official Twitter account also celebrated the rare achievement.
The Queen, now 93, was a 21-year-old princess when she married the dashing Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten at Westminster Abbey on November 20 1947.
Princess Elizabeth was dressed in an ivory silk Norman Hartnell gown, decorated with 10,000 seed pearls, glittering crystals and an intricate 13ft (4m) star-patterned train, when she wed 26-year-old Philip, who was fresh from serving in the Royal Navy in the Second World War.
Their enduring relationship has lasted the longest of any British sovereign.
Philip, 98, who has now retired, was at the Queen’s side throughout the decades on royal duty.


Commuting into Metro Vancouver from the Fraser Valley
So I have been commuting in and out of the Metro Vancouver area since earlier this year and I wanted to share what I've learned. Commuting using public transit is a great way to save money on gas/fuel, be environmentally friendly, and also reduce the stress and time spent in traffic.
The optimal commute in, which I use regularly, consists of the following steps:
Driving from home or another location in the Fraser Valley
to the Carvolth Exchange at 202nd Street in Langley
Taking the 555 Express Bus from the Carvolth Exchange to the Braid Skytrain station
Taking Skytrain into Burnaby, Vancouver, and/or Richmond
(Expo, Millenium, and/or Canada Lines)
Taking a bus and/or walking from a Skytrain station to my destination
I cannot stress enough how important it is to give yourself enough time to reach your destination. You may be delayed at any point along your travel route (standstill highway, train fault, late bus, construction) so always add extra time to your overall estimate.
To get started, please select from one of the links below or in the navigation bar at the top of the page.

Turtle OS
There are two Versions of Turtle OS, firstly the “real” OS, that is, one that can be booted. But this one is still entirely written in
Assembler, which is not, what we planned to do.Secondly, there is a Version, which ca run on Windows. It has the ending .exe and not even
this one is ready.
We're sorry to tell we have stopped working on this project.


Great Red, a four piece out of Rochester, NY, is a band of hipster-dweebs eager to create. Their sound exhibits perfectly the tension and passion that stems from each member itching to squeeze music in every possible remaining crevice of time after family, work and sleep have been conquered.
The genre Great Red presents is a subtle mix of indie and alternative rock. Each member brings a unique sound to the mix, however.
With influences ranging from funk and classic rock to jazz and experimental rock, this band of suburban origins is ready to show that small cities have no problems keeping up with the times.
The current time for a Great Red set is 45 minutes.
The band has been together since August of 2016, and has crafted eight originals since.

LTRImprover
This
ChainProcessor tries to
provide a Chain with a better
pair of LTRs, through a fairly time-consuming alignment procedure. It
is included in the standard operation of
RetroVID.
There are nine parameters, adjustable through
Configuration.txt:
- ProcessorPriority: Priority relative to other
ChainProcessors.
Default: -1.
- Threshold: The lowest acceptable value for the
internal evaluation of an LTR pair. Range is 0>14000. Practical
upper limit ca 6000.
Default: 0.
- ChainScoreThreshold: Chains with lower score than
this are not treated. Setting a very high value will effectively close
down LTRImprover.
Default: 0.
- LastLeadSubGene: If there is no SubGene hit with
score at least 20 before or at this SubGene, the Chain is not treated.
Default: NC.
- FirstTrailSubGene: If there is no SubGene hit with
score at least 20 after or at this SubGene, the Chain is not treated.
Default: TM.
- MaxOutputChains: Dummy, not used.
Default: 0.
- MerLength: The shortest identity accepted in
preliminary search.
Default: 11.
- CheckTime: The time (in seconds) to check for too
long execution time. Default: 300.
- Debugging: If this is Yes, alignment is output to
standard output.
Default: No
The internal procedure is largely the same as in
LTRAlign, and the
output with Debugging: Yes is similar.
When LTRImprover has worked for CheckTime seconds, an estimate of the
total time is made. If it exceeds 3 * CheckTime, LTRImprover exits,
with a Warning message.

DESPERADO A film review by Tim Voon Copyright 1997 Tim Voon
Cast: Antonio Bandaras, Salma Hayek, Joaquim de Almeida, Steve Buscemi, Cheech Marin, Quentin Tarantino Director: Robert Rodriguez Screenplay: Robert Rodriguez
I like a man who goes to confession, after he's just killed thirty drug dealers in one of the noisiest gunfight, showdowns I have seen on screen.
The sound of ricocheting bullets is still ringing in my ears, days after I finished watching this movie; and the amount of ketchup splashing from mouths, noses and puncture wounds, would have made the tomato industry very happy.
Give me a Marguerita, light me a Cuban cigar and put on the 'Gypsy Kings', and you have for yourself 'Desperado'.
Ooops! I forgot to mention, also bring along your arsenal of explosives in a guitar case; your ten millimetre machine gun in another guitar case; your secret rocket launcher in yet another guitar case; your heroin in the guitar; your little boy who carries the guitar with the dope; your librarian who stashes dope for the heroin dealer; the beer that tastes like piss; and two brothers who are as different as night and day.
Comment: Original and violent.

Of Methods and Maps
March 21, 2015
The map method in Ruby is an extremely useful tool when we are dealing with enumerable objects. Methods such as #map allow well-grounded rubyists to iterate through enumerables more efficiently and with staggeringly little code. Only by mastering the logic behind chaining large groups of methods into fewer and fewer lines of code can one advance in their knowledge and skill of Ruby.
The method I'll talk about this time is #map. This is a powerful tool that takes a line or even block of code, and iterates through an enumerable and runs this code for each element inside. What does this mean? For simpler operations, such as adding an inputted value to every integer in an array, one can simply use array.map and apply the given value in any way shape or form to every single element contained in array. This cuts down on a multitude of code by iterating through the enumerable without having to use loops.
For example, imagine we want to add x to every integer contained inside an array. In other languages such as C++, one would have to use a while or for loop to iterate through the array, then use if statements to determine the values contained within, and finally act out the code they wish. In ruby, we can solve this by simply returning "array.map!{|value| value.is_a?(Integer) ? value + x: value", which would iterate through every element in array, check to see if each value is indeed an integer, add x to it if so, and do nothing if else. Ruby is the best!
