Corned beef and cabbage might be one of the most popular dishes to eat on St. Patrick's Day, however, it's not an authentic Irish recipe—it's Irish-American. Irish immigrants invented the dish when they first settled in New York City and started eating the corned beef sold at kosher butchers.
From delicious lamb to roasted potatoes, here are seven truly Irish dishes to make to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
1. Skillet-Roasted Lamb Loins with Herbs
This easy recipe from Dublin-born chef Cathal Armstrong results in succulent, delicately flavored meat.

LA TESTE-DE-BUCH, France (AP) — A heatwave that is searing Europe spread north across Britain on Monday and fueled ferocious forest fires in Spain and France, which evacuated thousands of people and sent water bomber planes and firefighters to battle the blazes in dry forests.
Two people have been killed in fires in Spain that its prime minister has linked to global warming, saying, “Climate change kills”.
This toll comes on top of hundreds of heat-related deaths reported across the Iberian Peninsula as high temperatures gripped the continent in recent days and has sparked forest fires from Portugal to the Balkans. Some regions, including northern Italy, are also experiencing prolonged droughts. Climate change is making these life-threatening extremes less rare – and heatwaves have even arrived in places like Britain, which have braced for possible record high temperatures.
The hot weather in the UK was expected to be so severe this week that train operators warned it could warp the tracks and some schools have installed paddling pools to help children cool off.
In France, heat records were broken and swirling hot winds complicated the fight against fires in the south-west of the country.
“The fire is literally exploding,” said regional fire chief Marc Vermeulen, who described tree trunks snapping as flames consumed them, sending scorching embers into the air and spreading the flames further.
“We are facing extreme and exceptional circumstances,” he said.
Authorities evacuated other towns, moving an additional 14,900 people from areas that may be in the path of the fires and choking smoke. In total, more than 31,000 people have been driven from their homes and summer vacation spots in Gironde since the start of the forest fires on July 12.
Three more planes were sent to join six others battling the fires, scooping up seawater and making repeated flights through thick clouds of smoke, the Home Office said on Sunday evening.
More than 200 reinforcements headed towards the 1,500 firefighters trying to contain the blazes in the Gironde, where flames approached prized vineyards and billowed smoke in the maritime basin of Arcachon famous for its oysters and its beaches..
Spain, meanwhile, reported a second death in two days in its own fires. The body of a 69-year-old sheep farmer was found on Monday in the same hilly area where a 62-year-old firefighter died a day earlier when he was caught in the flames in Zamora province, northeastern west. More than 30 wildfires around Spain have forced the evacuation of thousands of people and blackened 220 square kilometers (85 square miles) of forest and brush.
Passengers on a train passing through Zamora got a frightening, up-close glimpse of a fire, when their train stopped in the countryside. Video of the unscheduled – and unnerving – stop showed a dozen passengers in a carriage becoming alarmed as they watched through the windows the flames encroaching on both sides of the track.

Climatologists say heat waves are more intense, more frequent and longer due to climate change – and associated with droughts have made wildfires more difficult to fight. They say climate change will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.
“Climate change kills,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on Monday during a visit to the Extremadura region, the site of three major fires. “It kills people, it kills our ecosystems and our biodiversity.”
Teresa Ribera, Spain’s minister for ecological transition, described her country as ‘literally under fire’ as she attended climate change talks in Berlin.
She warned of “a terrifying outlook still for the days ahead” – after more than 10 days of temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), cooling only moderately overnight.
At least 748 heat-related deaths have been reported during the heat wave in Spain and neighboring Portugal, where temperatures hit 47C (117F) earlier this month.
Spain’s heat wave is expected to ease on Tuesday, but the respite will be brief as temperatures rise again on Wednesday, particularly in the dry region of western Extremadura.
In Britain, authorities have issued the first-ever extreme heat warning, and the meteorological service predicts the record high of 38.7 C (101.7 F), set in 2019, could be broken.
“Forty-one is not out of place,” said Penelope Endersby, CEO of the Met Office. “We even have 43s in the model, but hopefully it won’t be as high as that.”
France’s often temperate Brittany region sweltering with a record high of 39.3 degrees Celsius (102.7 degrees Fahrenheit) in the port of Brest, surpassing a high of 35.1 degrees Celsius that had stood since September 2003, it said. the French meteorological service Météo-France.
Regional records in France were broken in more than a dozen cities as the weather service said Monday was “the hottest day of this heat wave”.
The Balkan region was expecting the worst from the heat later this week, but has already seen sporadic wildfires.
Early Monday, Slovenian authorities said firefighters had brought a blaze under control. Croatia sent a water-dropping plane there to help after battling its own wildfires along the Adriatic Sea last week. A fire in Sibenik forced some people to evacuate their homes but was later extinguished.
In Portugal, much cooler weather on Monday helped firefighters make progress. More than 600 firefighters attended four major fires in northern Portugal.
Leicester reported from Pecq. Associated Press reporters Danica Kirka and Jill Lawless in London, Geir Moulson in Berlin, Raquel Redondo in Madrid, Barry Hatton in Lisbon, Portugal, and Jovana Gec in Belgrade, Serbia, contributed.

Hansel and Gretel Trails
Once in a while, while wending my way along a trail through dark woods, I feel the vibes of a different time and place.
Gnarled tree branches overhead, crushed leaves strewn along a narrow, winding path. The ominous thickness of an overcast sky. Or being so deep in a mountain’s lower forest that sunbeams don’t reach.
“This is a Hansel and Gretel trail!” I say out loud.
Before I hiked on Marin County’s iconic Mount Tam the first time, the name reverberated with both enticement and intimidation for me.
A Mount Tam trail on a weekday afternoon can be devoid of other people, both a benefit and a bane. (Great for trailhead parking and quiet, not great if you need help.)
By now my son and I have logged countless miles walking Mount Tam trails, many of which trigger the “Hansel and Gretel” feeling.
Lucky for me, my son is the Hansel to my Gretel. Rather than battling an evil witch in a gingerbread cottage, we usually walk with a hiking partner ally against the dark forces of the forest.
This week’s Hike Notes introduce Huckleberry Trail, a short but steep connector trail between fire roads in the Blithedale Summit Preserve in Marin County. This trail not only gave me one of my Hansel and Gretel flashes, but also offers a good climbing workout.
Please feel free to share. If you’re not able to take one of these Northern California hikes, hopefully you can enjoy the photos!

Our history curriculum seeks to give pupils a solid foundation and broad overview into some of the most important periods, events and themes in British and world history. Using the National Curriculum as a guide we have been selective in our choice of content in order to allocate sufficient time to move beyond a surface understanding, developing knowledge and skills which can be built upon as each pupil progresses through the school. We have adopted a similar approach to the design of individual units, ensuring that knowledge is built sequentially. By providing opportunities for pupils to apply their knowledge and skills within applicable historical contexts we can deepen their understanding and foster independent thinking whilst assessing learning and progress.
Rather than view history as a set of discrete topics we have designed the curriculum to allow pupils to identify links, trends, similarities and differences through the embedding of chronological understanding and the analysis of core themes from the perspectives of different historical eras. For example, the concepts of civilisation and social hierarchies are analysed and contrasted through the lens of the Romans, Ancient Egyptians and Mayans. Some of our curriculum choices have been made to reflect our school’s demographic, for example, in year 1 they learn about the Islamic explorer Ibn Battuta. In addition, we value our local community’s history through the inclusion of units which involve fieldwork in West Ham Park and Green Street, workshops with local experts, and analysis of school attendance records and log books from the early 1900’s. Celebrating diversity and promoting equality are qualities we aim to foster by critically analysing events and understanding history from varying perspectives. This includes learning about black history through studies of slavery within the British Empire as well as understanding the role of woman in different historical societies. We are continuing to fine tune our history curriculum with diversity and equality at the heart of any changes made.
In order to bring our history to life we are increasing our use of historical artefacts and high quality texts as a doorway to opening up and developing understanding of historical cultures. Alongside our focus on developing pupils’ oracy skills and written responses, we use these primary and secondary sources of evidence to enable pupils to construct informed responses and develop a reasoned criticality. We also aim to inspire and enrich the learning of our pupils through deliberate choices of trips, utilising the wealth of resources available to us in London but ensuring that pupils are fully prepared with the knowledge and skills they need to fully appreciate the significance of the relics they go to view. For example, our year 6 pupils use their knowledge of beliefs within Mayan civilisations to make predictions about the story depicted on the Mayan Lintels, but it is only when they visit the British Museum to see these lintels that the true story is revealed. We recognise the importance that strong subject knowledge has on the quality of our history provision and we are currently working on implementing several strategies in order to improve this. One of these strategies is the use of learning conversations which have been designed to support subject leaders and teachers collaborate to analyse the design and implementation of the history curriculum with the aim of ensuring year on year improvements to our history provision.

4 pit bulls blamed for S. Calif. jogger's killing
PALMDALE, Calif. — A pack of dogs remained under quarantine at a Mojave Desert shelter on Friday as investigators tried to determine whether they were involved in a mauling that killed a jogger.
By afternoon, Los Angeles County sheriff's homicide investigators had not announced any DNA match between the six pit bulls seized Thursday and the four believed to have attacked the woman in the high desert neighborhood of Littlerock earlier in the day, Deputy Guillermina Saldana said.

You would think the topic of grace, God’s grace would be a simple subject to understand. But I think I figured out why it perplexes many believers, especially the ones that have spent a great deal of time in the institutional church. This discovery came after a conversation with an old friend of mine who could not stop talking about what he had recently learned about grace.
Although I was excited for my friend’s discovery, I was baffled. We had attended and served in the same church together for years, and I knew that the messages were filled with the topic of grace. Even when he joined us in the deconstruction of our institutional church, he had learned about grace. My bafflement evaporated when I recently heard a sermon from a popular evangelical church.
The message was filled with grace blended with the law. Mixing the old and the new covenant together. Father was described as the benevolent dictator God, who provided you with his grace to better serve him. I now realized why it took so long for my friend to really get a hold of grace. It had been an intertwined sinister brew that left him perpetually confused about Father’s love. I wonder how many others have yet to understand, much less receive the real meaning of Father’s grace and his unconditional love.

'Wizard of Oz' remake planned (Video)
Warner Bros. is planning on bringing to iconic film The Wizard of Oz to the big screen again. Deadline reported on Sunday, Nov. 25 that the studio is currently in search of a director for the remake. The film is based on the original 1939 script which follows a young girl named Dorothy from Kansas who ends up in a magical land after her home is consumed by a tornado.
Director Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future) was believed to be the director the studio was hoping would helm the project, but according to The Wrap, Zemeckis is not interested in being involved with the remake. He is busy prepping for the remake of the popular Beatles film Yellow Submarine.
This announcement comes just a few months before Disney is set to release the prequel film Oz The Great and Powerful, which explains how the Wizard ended up in Oz before Dorothy Gale arrived. Directed by Sam Raimi(Spider-Man), the film will release in 3D and will arrive in theaters on March 8, 2013.

Hi all. Recently started becoming interested in the reflex red dots and bought the Walther Q5 Match and mounted a Vortex Venom on it. I took it out to the range on two occasions now along with a few other 9mm of mine.
First, about the pistol:
- Great striker fired pistol. I own dozens of guns and only two are polymer, this and my Springfield XDS 3.3. I have shot many, however. Best striker trigger out of the box that I have fired. Granted it’s not my Kimber Aegis Elite but that’s not expected.
- Nice balance in my hand. Comfortable grip.
- Holy muzzle flip. Not an issue for slow shooting but follow up shots take some work.
- Flawless operation out of the box. Can’t say that about a lot of new guns I’ve purchased in the last year sadly. (Looking at you Ruger and S&W)
The sight mounted easily with the number one plate included with the Walther. It came with three different mounting plates.
I had been practicing dry fire and presentation with the sight and find the dot very easy to find. No issues with “searching”. While this is my first sight of this nature, I do have a rail mounted Browning Red Dot on two Buckmarks.
I used the sight in “auto” mode and found the brightness very good for the range I visit. It was easy to zero in.
Shooting with the dot:
I shot this gun today along with my Beretta M9A3. At close range I found my Beretta much easier to group nicely and tighter. Close range is 5-7 yards.
Beyond that, out to 25 yards, is where I saw the huge benefits on the dot. It improved my accuracy tremendously compared to the open sights of the Beretta (a gun I have tens of thousands of rounds experience with). My goal is to continue practicing speed and accuracy with the optic mounted pistol at the closer ranges. My confidence at longer ranges has gone through the roof with it!
I found a really good deal on a DW Guardian in .38 super locally. I have been searching for a Guardian in 9mm for awhile and haven’t been able to find one. I Have never shot .38 super. Would it be a good carry round? I’m assuming it’s way more expensive than 9mm. Wonder if you could swap barrels and bushing to 9mm if you wanted

The House and Senate bills (HF1542, SF1407) to require notice and an opportunity to cure an ADA violation before a suit is brought have passed both the House and Senate. The House passed the bill with a substantial majority, the Senate also passed it with a number of Democrats voting for the bill. The bill will go to a conference committee, and hopefully it will be worked out in a way that the Governor can sign.
The Council for Disability has sent a letter indicating that they support the direction of the bills. The Minnesota Trial Attorneys remain concerned over a number of issues.
This bill is designed to prevent “drive by” lawsuits that are brought by plaintiffs who come to your place of business and observe that your parking lot stripes are too close together, you don’t have enough handicap parking spots or your entry is too narrow or steep, etc. Then a lawsuit is brought and you have no chance to correct the problem before you have to pay damages, sometimes in the thousands of dollars!
To learn more about this issue, there is a good article on the Building Owners and Managers of Greater Minneapolis website, click here.

The Boy Who Wanted to Cook Review by Nancy Casari DaytonGloria Whelan; illustrated by Steve Adams
Sleeping Bear Press
315 E. Eisenhower Pkwy, Suite 200
Ann Arbor, MI 48108
This wonderful book is sure to delight young boys and girls who are interested in cooking. The story follows a ten-year-old boy named Pierre whose family runs a little restaurant in France. Although Pierre is interested in cooking, his parents discourage his involvement in the family business. One day he is given the opportunity to help his family and the restaurant in a meaningful way.
The illustrations in the book are just lovely and bring the restaurant and the townspeople to life.
Children like to know they are involved in their families and can contribute in important ways. My eight-year-old son will certainly enjoy the story when he receives the book for Christmas. I think I'm going to plan a few cooking adventures with him before then.

One feels very fortunate to be able to stumble into a ladybugs love-in when on a hike. We encountered thousands upon thousands of ladybugs on a February hike in Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park in California. The layers upon layers of ladybugs on logs, moss and tree trunks presented a colorful display that was mind-boggling, colorful, spectacular and unforgettable.

Nick Spencer delivers final King James Bible Lecture
Wednesday, 19th October 2011
The third and final King James Bible lecture was given by Nick Spencer, Research Director at Christian think tank, Theos on Wednesday 19th October.
Nick Spencer spoke authoritatively on Why the Bible is the Foundation of British Politics and concluded that “… just as it is impossible, or very difficult, to understand English literary history without recourse to the Bible, so it is very difficult to grasp English, indeed British politics without a similar understanding … it is not as if the Bible has been the only influence on national history, or that it has always been used on the side of the political angels. Rather, I am making a humbler claim. Whether we like to admit it or not, our deepest political virtues and commitments have been founded on and shaped by biblical Christianity.

Lucky Woks success is all skill, freshness
If Bremertons newest Chinese restaurant, Lucky Wok is a runaway hit, luck wont have anything to do with it. The owners and operators, the Zhang family, have a history of success. Open only two weeks, Lucky Wok is bringing a fresh taste to the West Sound area, serving Chinese food the way its supposed to be.
The Zhangs own three restaurants on the East Coast, and manager, Amy Zhang, just moved here a month ago from Willow Grove, Pa., just north of Philadelphia. Two of Zhangs uncles head up the kitchen staff, and two of her cousins also help run the restaurant in the same style that has made the familys other establishments successful.
The Zhangs are used to running an open kitchen, proving they have nothing to hide in their food preparation, and freshness is the theme. Although the Bremerton locations structure didnt allow for the wall separating the kitchen from the dining area to be removed, the family still functions on a Fresh is best basis.
We cook different food, and we cook it in a different way, Zhang said. Everything is cooked fresh to order. If you twice cook it, it will taste dry. You dont taste the fresh.
Thats why Lucky Wok not only cooks up take-out orders fresh, and also makes sure food doesnt sit at the buffet table too long. The offerings available at the buffet also change daily, giving customers the chance to try the many wonderful dishes on the menu. Diners can still get it hot off the wok even if theyre ordering from the buffet if they just put in a request and are willing to wait the few extra minutes it takes.
The menu includes all the traditional Chinese favorites, and is highlighted by a number of dishes including lobster and scallops, and the coconut shrimp is a particular favorite. The egg foo young is cooked in a different way than most West Coast establishments, without any flour to give a lighter taste with more flavor from the meats and vegetables.
Another feature making Lucky Wok special is the homemade egg rolls and spring rolls. Since theyre made fresh at the restaurant, theyre flavorful and flaky, not greasy.
Every day business gets better, Zhang said. Once people eat here, they always come back. And they bring friends, because they tell them we do something different.
The Zhangs have also done something different to the inside of the restaurant, giving it a major facelift from its previous incarnation. Lucky Wok is clean and bright, with many new tables and chairs, and half-walls dividing up the dining area, offering patrons a more private experience while dining in.
More than 100 choices are offered, including a dozen of the Chefs Specials. Daily specials are also available all day, letting customers pick their entrees at a low price, and include free soda or soup.

It looks like the previous year was the hottest in the US. It is indeed a record-holder in matters of temperature.
Record heat baked the roads and concrete buildings in the US during the course of 2016. This was the norm from one coastal area to another. The Lower 48 had its second warmest year on record.
Also this weather reversal cost a lot in terms of financial damage. Over a dozen natural events transpired that led to a deficit of a billion dollars.
The NOAA released its report which said that the average temperature for the Lower 48 was 54.9 degrees Fahrenheit. This was 2.9 degrees Fahrenheit above the average in the 20th century.
The only year which was warmer than this one was 2012. Georgia was a loner as far as record warm years are concerned. Over 10 other states saw their second warmest year.
The rest of the states saw their seventh warmest years with 2016 figuring among them. Even Alaska saw a rise in the hotness factor. This was the third year that Alaska saw warmness that rose above the average.
The NOAA annual report says that 2016 is the 20th year in a row in which the annual average temperature in the Lower 48 has reached greater levels than the long haul average. Since 1895, temperatures have gone up by 0.15 degrees Fahrenheit each 10 years or so.
Rainfall was also high in 2016. It was the 24th wettest year since 1895. Both Minnesota and Wisconsin experienced their second wettest year on record. Meanwhile, Connecticut, Georgia and Massachusetts had their top ten driest years in 2016.
2016 was also the year when 15 billion dollar disasters took place all over the USA, according to The Weather Channel. These included thunderstorms and flooding. Then there were hurricanes and wildfires not to mention droughts.
A total of 138 people died during the course of these disasters. Such floods have seldom been seen since 1980. Hurricane Matthew caused $10 billion in damages. As for the total damage cost, it amounted to $45 billion which is quite a lot of money.

Uses of isotopes in radioactive dating
Uses of isotopes in radioactive dating - Iranseksx
The only problem is that we only know the number of daughter atoms now present, and some of those may have been present prior to the start of our clock. The reason for this is that Rb has become distributed unequally through the Earth over time.
The Concordia curve can be calculated by defining the following: ).Zircon has a high hardness (7.5) which makes it resistant to mechanical weathering, and it is also very resistant to chemical weathering. Chemically, zircon usually contains high amounts of U and low amounts of Pb, so that large amounts of radiogenic Pb are produced.Other minerals that also show these properties, but are less commonly used in radiometric dating are Apatite and sphene.If a zircon crystal originally crystallizes from a magma and remains a closed system (no loss or gain of U or Pb) from the time of crystallization to the present, then the Discordant dates will not fall on the Concordia curve.Prior to 1905 the best and most accepted age of the Earth was that proposed by Lord Kelvin based on the amount of time necessary for the Earth to cool to its present temperature from a completely liquid state.Although we now recognize lots of problems with that calculation, the age of 25 my was accepted by most physicists, but considered too short by most geologists. Recognition that radioactive decay of atoms occurs in the Earth was important in two respects: Principles of Radiometric Dating Radioactive decay is described in terms of the probability that a constituent particle of the nucleus of an atom will escape through the potential (Energy) barrier which bonds them to the nucleus.
The energies involved are so large, and the nucleus is so small that physical conditions in the Earth (i.e. The rate of decay or rate of change of the number N of particles is proportional to the number present at any time, i.e.The half-life is the amount of time it takes for one half of the initial amount of the parent, radioactive isotope, to decay to the daughter isotope.Thus, if we start out with 1 gram of the parent isotope, after the passage of 1 half-life there will be 0.5 gram of the parent isotope left.After the passage of two half-lives only 0.25 gram will remain, and after 3 half lives only 0.125 will remain etc.To see how we actually use this information to date rocks, consider the following: Usually, we know the amount, N, of an isotope present today, and the amount of a daughter element produced by decay, D*.By definition, D* = N-1) (2) Now we can calculate the age if we know the number of daughter atoms produced by decay, D* and the number of parent atoms now present, N.

CT lawmakers seek to make altering toy guns illegal - Annie Oakley
Current federal law requires that manufacturers of toy and imitation firearms place an orange plug in the product's barrel. This plug serves as a safety marker to differentiate between real and fake guns. Despite this requirement, instructions on how to remove or obscure this plug can easily be found online. If removed or colored over, some fake firearms look identical to real guns.

I had a teary eye watching the Kimyal tribe of Papua, Indonesia… celebrating the arrival of the New Testament Bible in their own language, with tears of joy. This was inspiring to watch, and extremely sobering.
John 1:14 -The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
To them the Bible was not a piece of book you add to your book collection, covered with dust. It was the coming of the living logos into their land. They have labored, prayed, believed and waited for this day, just as Simeon waited for the arrival of the Son of God. They could not contain their joy, as the old generation handed the Bible to the new generation, amidst singing and dancing. So inspiring!
Most of us living on this part of the world where access to the Bible, in whatever form or shape is so enormous, takes the word for granted. We have time for everything, but no appeal to the Bible. I trust the Lord that, this precious moment will awaken a brand new obsession and passion in your heart, to see the Bible in a new light.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
Lets Pray: Father God, forgive us for taking your word for granted. Renew our hearts with your Holy Spirit, and save us from the pull of this world. May your word become alive in our hearts, as we daily walk under the persuasion of your truth. We humbly ask you, in the name of your Son Jesus Christ. Amen!

Medication administration errors involving flawed time, omission, and flawed dose accounted for seventy seven.3 % of errors, while fallacious drug and wrong affected person accounted for 77.eight % of near misses. Probably the most frequent varieties of medication errors were unsuitable time (33.6 p.c), wrong dose (24.1 percent), and fallacious drug (17.2 percent), and the three most frequent varieties of close to misses had been fallacious drug (29.3 percent), flawed dose (21.6 p.c), and improper patient (19.0 percent). 85 Lots of the reported MAEs in ICUs involved intravenous drugs and fluids. eighty four In these surveys, the nurses who reported making errors described between two and 5 errors during a 14-day period.

UNESCO awards World Cleanup Day with the Education for Sustainable Development prize
UNESCO has named Let’s Do It Foundation for its international projects “World Cleanup Day” and “Keep It Clean Plan” as one of the three winners of this year’s UNESCO-Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development. The award ceremony will take place at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris on 9 October 2018.
World Cleanup Day united 15 million people across 158 countries and territories for the biggest waste collection day in human history on 15 September. “This has been an amazing shared effort of thousands of organisers and leaders who want to raise awareness and create a lasting change in their neighbourhoods,” said Eva Truuverk, head of the managing board of the Let’s Do It! Foundation. She added, “A massive cleanup action is the best way to truly engage people and bring the problem into focus, but we have always seen it as just a beginning. To truly solve the global mismanaged waste crisis, we need commitment and very clear steps from all parties.”
The other two prize winners were Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET) from Namibia and the Kalabia Foundation (YaKIn) from Indonesia. Each of the three non-profit organizations will receive an award of 50,000 USD. This year’s winners were chosen by an independent international jury from 87 nominations, submitted by the governments of UNESCO Member States and organisations in official partnership with UNESCO. The core selection criteria were the projects’ potential for transformation, their innovative quality and the ability to embrace all three dimensions of sustainability – the economy, society and the environment.
The UNESCO-Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) was funded by the Government of Japan. The Prize was established by UNESCO’s Executive Board in the framework of the Global Action Programme on ESD (GAP), to showcase and reward outstanding ESD projects and programmes. This is the fourth edition of the Prize.

- BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is related generally to the field of semiconductor memory devices, and more particularly, to data management in semiconductor memory devices, such as flash memory devices.
Non-volatile memory is a type of memory that can retain data and information even when power is not applied. An example of non-volatile memory that is being used in a variety of applications, such as cellular phone technology, is “flash memory.” Flash memory is a form of electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), where data can be written in bytes and erased in blocks of memory. The blocks of memory typically range from 8 kBytes to 1 MByte in size. The cell density of flash memory devices can be very high, often as high as conventional dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cells, since in conventional flash memory a single floating gate structure is used for each memory cell. Flash memory devices also have relatively fast data access times. In the past, flash memory has been used in applications such as storing basic input/output system (BIOS) information in personal computers. However, with improvements in programming capabilities, and the continually increasing demand for persistent and low-power memory devices, the application of flash memory in many other areas has expanded very rapidly.
As previously mentioned, one such application is in cellular phones. At one time, cellular phones were only limited to voice communication. Now, cellular phones provide Internet access and web browsing capabilities, allow a user to capture and store computer graphic images, capture and playback video images, and provide personal digital assistant (PDA) capabilities. As a consequence, cellular phones need to be able to store different types of data and information. For example, whereas older cellular phones would only need to store data representing phone numbers, newer cellular phones need to store in addition to phone numbers, voice information, computer graphic images, small applications (e.g., Java applets) downloaded from the Internet, and the like.
The various data objects that must be stored by the flash memory have different characteristics. For example, data such as phone numbers are generally small segments of data having uniform length. Other data can be variable in length, such as voice information, where the amount of memory used depends on the length of voice information recorded. Data can be packetized, as in the case where data is downloaded from the Internet. Additionally, the amount of memory consumed by data such as voice information and image files can be considerable, spanning multiple blocks of flash memory. Application code, such as a Java applet, is unique in that the binary code must be stored contiguously in flash memory to allow for the code to be executed by a processor directly from the flash memory.
Flash memory, which is non-volatile, and has low operating power, is perfectly suited for data and information storage applications such as in cellular phones where conservation of power is very desirable. However, the operating characteristics of flash memory must be adapted to facilitate storage of the different types of data and information previously described.
Flash memory, although providing many of the characteristics required for applications in portable and remote (wireless) devices, has unique operational characteristics that need to be considered. For example, because of the floating gate structure of conventional flash memory cells, data cannot be simply overwritten. The memory cells must be erased prior to writing new data. Also, as previously mentioned, flash memory devices are designed to erase data in blocks of memory cells, rather than on a cell-by-cell basis. Thus, although only a portion of the memory cells of a block need to be updated, the entire block must first be erased before programming the new data. The process of erasing an entire block of memory cells and programming new data takes a relatively long time to complete, and deferring an erase operation is often desirable. Additionally, erasing the entire block is a problem, however, in the case where another portion of the memory cells of the block do not need to be updated. Another issue related to flash, and other floating gate memory devices, is that these memory cells have a limited life-cycle where repeated cycles of erasing and programming degrade memory cell performance. Eventually, the cell performance is degraded to such a degree that the memory cell can no longer be used to store data.
In an effort to facilitate the use of flash products in applications such as cellular phones, memory management software interfaces have been developed to make the management of data storage in flash devices transparent to the user. The memory management software carries out various operations in the flash memory such as managing code, data and files, reclaiming memory when insufficient erased memory is available for programming new data, and wear-leveling flash blocks to increase cycling endurance. Memory management typically includes functions to support storage of parameter data for EEPROM replacement, data streams for voice recordings and multimedia, Java applets and native code for direct execution, and packetized data downloads. In addition to these operations, the memory management software often ensures that in the event of a power loss, previously programmed data is not lost or corrupted. An example of this type of memory management software is Intel® Flash Data Integrator (FDI) software.
- SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Although conventional flash memory management software has succeeded in increasing the flexibility of flash memory, there is still room for additional improvement. Conventional memory management software has limitations in the area of data management. For example, in some conventional flash memory management software, the memory space of a flash device is partitioned into fixed memory address ranges and either code or data is associated with each of the ranges. Once set at compile time, the range and the type of associated data cannot be changed without recompilation. Consequently, if at a later time a different partitioning between code and data is desired, the ranges defined for the two types of data cannot be modified unless software is recompiled. Additionally, although different flash memory management software performs many of the same functions, the process by which the functions are performed can be very different, with some being more efficient or faster than others. Therefore, there is a need for alternative memory management processes that can be implemented for flash memory devices.
The present invention is directed to a data structure having a single segment data object having a header record and a data record. The header record includes a segment length field containing data representing a length of memory reserved for the data record of the single segment data object, and the data record contains data representing at least one data instance object. A state and header length field may also be included in the header record to store an object state of the single segment data object and define the length of the header record. Each of the data instance objects has a data instance header and a data instance data field. The data instance header includes a data instance state field and a data instance length field. The data instance length field contains data representing length information of the data instance data field. The data instance data field contains data having an object state represented by data contained in the data instance state field. Use of the data instance length field allows for variable length “in place” updating of data in the data instance data field. An optional header length field and timestamp field may be included in the data instance header as well to describe the length of the instance data header and time information at which the instance data object is written, respectively. Only one of the data instance objects of the data record of the single segment data object has a valid object state. The state fields of the header record and the data instance header can be used to facilitate a power loss recovery process.
- BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention is further directed to a method for storing data objects. The method includes storing a single segment data object header in a block of memory, such as a flash memory device, including length information defining a length of memory reserved for a data record. Additionally, at least one data instance object is stored in the data record defined by the length information. For each data instance object of the data record, the method includes defining an object state of the data instance object, defining a length of a data instance field, and writing data into the data instance field. If data is to be updated, state data for a new data instance object as well as length data defining a length of a data instance data field of the new data instance object are written in the data record. Updated data is written into the data instance data field of the new data instance object to update the data of the previous data instance data field. The state data for the previous data instance object is modified to an invalid object state.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a memory management operation and structure that provides flexibility in handling various types of data objects In the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which are shown, by way of illustration, specific exemplary embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. However, it will be clear to one skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced without these particular details. Other embodiments may be utilized and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims.
FIG. 1 shows a data architecture 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The data architecture 100 can be used in a flash data manager (FDM) process to handle data objects in a flash memory device. The data architecture 100 associates FDM volumes 120 to physical flash memory blocks 102 of one or more flash memory devices. Generally, the FDM volumes 120 can be variable in size, and may be modified by a user subsequent to compilation of the user's application. As a result, the boundaries of an FDM volume 120 can be adjusted during run time of an application. The FDM volumes 120 can also span multiple flash memory blocks 102 and have boundaries that do not need to correspond to flash memory block boundaries. However, in this case, additional overhead is required to process partial flash memory blocks during erasing and writing operations. A more detailed description of the FDM volumes 120 and object management thereof is provided in commonly assigned, co-pending U.S. Application Nos. [Application Number], entitled DYNAMIC VOLUME MANAGEMENT, to Wong, filed [Filing Date], and [Application Number], entitled LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR OBJECT MANAGEMENT, to Wong, filed [Filing Date], which are incorporated herein by reference.
Each of the FDM volumes 120 can include linear objects 150 and container objects 200. A linear object 150 is generally used to store data in linear or consecutively addressed fashion, such as application code which is desirable to store in consecutive memory addresses to allow the code to be executed directly from flash memory. In contrast, non-linear objects generally store data that can be stored in non-contiguous segments of memory. In embodiments of the present invention, partitioning the memory space of a flash memory into two regions, one for linear data and the other for non-linear data, is not necessary. Consequently, linear objects 150 and non-linear objects, in the form of containers 200, can be stored anywhere within the available memory space of flash memory. Embodiments of the present invention allow for more flexible use of the available memory space of flash memory, thus, providing the ability for efficient linear and non-linear data storage. The memory space of flash memory can be utilized in an open manner, storing data objects in the available memory space independent of the particular type of data, rather than accommodating a fixed partitioned memory space where the location at which data is stored in memory is governed by the particular data type (i.e., either linear or non-linear).
FIG. 2 illustrates the container object 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The container object 200 is used to store non-linear data in a “linear” fashion, thereby enabling linear and non-linear data to be inter-mixed throughout the available memory space of the flash memory device. The container object 200 includes non-linear objects in the form of single segment (SS) data objects 204 and multiple segment (MS) data objects 206. Generally, MS data objects 206 represent multiple segments of data objects that are associated with one another to form a relatively large data object in the form of a non-linear object. A MS data object table 208 is maintained to record the association of the multiple data segments. Examples of the types of data represented by MS data objects 206 are computer graphic images, voice data files, downloaded email messages, and the like. Management of MS data objects 206 are discussed in greater detail in commonly assigned, co-pending U.S. Application No. [Application Number], entitled MULTIPLE SEGMENT DATA OBJECT MANAGEMENT, to Wong et al., filed [Filing Date], which is incorporated herein by reference.
SS data objects 204, on the other hand, are relatively small and have data self-contained in a single segment of the memory space. In embodiments of the present invention, the SS data objects 204 can be used to store data having a length less than one read/write unit. A read/write unit is typically the minimum byte size that can be stored in memory and perform flash device input/output operations. The read/write unit is defined by the user at compile time and can be used as a default size for the SS data objects 204 where a developer does not specifically define the length of the SS data object 204. However, the SS data object 204 is not restricted to a single read/write unit, and can be of lesser or greater length when desirable. For example, where it is anticipated that the data will be updated often, the developer can define the SS data object 204 to be greater than one read/write unit.
Additionally, the SS data object 204 provides for data instances to be updated “in place” by writing new data instances in the data area and changing the object state of the former data instance to indicate that it has been updated. This avoids the need to define a new data object when updating data with new information. Additionally, the SS data objects 204 allow for variable length updating, that is, updated existing data having a different length than the previous data instances can be written to available memory within the memory space allocated for an SS data object 204. An example of the type of data represented by an SS data object 204 is phone numbers of a user phone book.
As shown in FIG. 3
, the SS data object 204
according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an SS data object header 210
and an SS data object data area 212
. The SS data object header 210
contains various fields, such as,
| || |
| || |
| ||State = state of the SS data object; |
| ||ObjectType = single segment data; |
| ||Key = unique data object identifier; |
| ||HeaderSizeByte = header record size in bytes; |
| ||DataLength = length of the Data Area in bytes rounded up to |
| ||the next flash access byte; and |
| ||TimeStamp = optional timestamp field. |
| || |
With respect to the State field 213, FIG. 5 shows a table of object states of the SS data object header 210 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In summary, the “EMPTY” state indicates free erased memory space available for writing. The “WRITING_HDR_LEN” state indicates that a header length is being written. The “WRITING_HDR” state indicates that the data object header is in the process of being written, such as writing the object state, but there is currently no data stored. The “WRITTEN_HDR” state indicates that the header is complete. The “WRITING_DATA” state indicates that data is being written and the data size is known. The “WRITTEN_DATA” state indicates that data has been written but not yet marked as valid. The WRITTEN_DATA state distinguishes between a copy of an object and the original object during the data copying process, in the event power loss occurs during a reclamation process or an update process. The WRITTEN_DATA state also distinguishes the completed state of the object during the creation of the object for the first time in the event of power loss recovery. The VALID_DATA state indicates that the stored data is valid. The INVALID_DATA state indicates that the data is freed and is eligible for reclamation. As will be explained in more detail below, the granularity of the object states facilitates a power loss recovery process that can be used to recover data in the event of power loss and ensure valid data.
As shown in FIG. 5, the object state of the SS data object 204 can be represented by a binary value. Each state change clears a single bit of the binary value. As the object state of the SS data object 204 changes over time, the FDM updates the state field to reflect data transitions from one object state to another by programming the value corresponding to the new object state. As the state of the SS data object 204 transitions, for example, from an EMPTY state to a WRITING_HDR_LEN state, and where the least significant bit (LSB) corresponds to the WRITING_HDR_LEN state, the data of the State field 213 will change from 1111 1111 to 1111 1110. As known by those of ordinary skill in the art, in the case of NOR flash memory devices, an uprogrammed (i.e., erased) memory cell of flash memory is represented by a value of “1” and a programmed memory cell is represented by a value of “0”(in contrast to NAND flash memory devices where the process is inverted). Consequently, in updating the object state from EMPTY to WRITING_HDR_LEN, the value 1111 1110 can be written directly to the state field without the need for erasing any cells because only the LSB needs to be programmed to indicate a change in object state. The other bits remain unprogrammed. As the object state transitions, each succeeding bit gets programmed to reflect the change in object states. For example, if the second to the LSB corresponds to a WRITING_HDR state, then the data of the State field 213 is modified from 1111 1110 to 1111 1100 when the state of the SS data object 204 transitions from the WRITING_HDR_LEN state after the header record and state have been written. It will be appreciated that the previous example was provided for the purpose of illustration, and the correspondence of bits to states can be modified without departing from the scope of the present invention. Consequently, the foregoing example is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to any particular embodiment.
The SS data object header 210 can also include an ObjectType field 214 that contains data representing the SS data object 204 and a Key field that contains data representing a unique identifier of the SS data object 204. Additionally, a HeaderSizeByte field 216 and a DataLength field 217 can be included in the SS data object header 210. An optional TimeStamp field 218 containing data representing the time at which the SS data object 204 was written can also be included in the SS data object header 210 when desired. The HeaderSizeByte 216 field contains data indicative of the length of the SS data object header 210, thus, allowing optional fields to be present in the SS data object header 210 for some SS data objects 204 and not others. For example, where it is desirable for the optional TimeStamp field 218 to be included in the header of a SS data object 204, the value of the HeaderSizeByte field 216 can be specified to accommodate the length due to the additional TimeStamp field 218. Other SS data objects 204 not having the optional TimeStamp field 218 will have a shorter SS data object header 210. The DataLength field 217 can also be included in the SS data object header 210, allowing the data object data area 212 of each SS data object 204 to be variable in length and defined by a developer. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the particular fields described above are exemplary, and that modification to the types of fields included in the SS data object header 210 can be modified without departing from the scope of the present invention.
The data area 212
of the SS data object 204
contains a data instance or instances 220
. Each data instance 220
includes a data instance header 221
and a DataN field 226
that contains the data of the data instance 220
. Contained in the data instance header 221
are various fields, such as,
| || |
| || |
| ||StateN = State of the Nth data instance; |
| ||LenN = Length of the Nth data field in bytes; |
| ||InstanceHeaderLenN = Instance header length of the Nth data |
| ||instance; and |
| ||TimeStampN = Optional time stamp at which the Nth data |
| ||instance is written. |
| || |
The information of a StateN field 222
can use essentially the same state codes as described above with respect to the SS data object header 210
. FIG. 6
shows a table of object states for the data instance 220
according to an embodiment of the present invention. The particular states have been described above generally, and will not be further discussed in detail herein in the interest of brevity. It will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, however, that the specific definition of the object states of FIG. 6
may be different than those shown in the table of FIG. 5
taken in the context of the data instance 220
. By including the StateN field 222
with each data instance 220
, data can be updated by appending a new instance of data to the instance of data being superceded if there is sufficient memory space in the data area 212
of the SS data object 204
(as defined by the DataLength field of the SS data object header 210
). The respective object state codes will be used to differentiate the new and superceded data instances, with the new instance of data having object state indicating a VALID_DATA state, and the object state of the existing instance of data modified (i.e., programmed) to indicate an INVALID_DATA state. The object state for the SS data object header 210
will remain unchanged during the update since the data of the SS data object 204
is still valid following the update.
A LenN field 224 describes the length of the data field for the particular instance of data. Contrast this with the DataLength field of the SS data object header 210, which defines the length of the data area 212 such that memory space can be reserved for appending new data for data updating purposes. Optional InstanceHeaderLenN field 223 and TimeStampN field 225 can be included in the data instance header to vary the length of the data instance header and include data representing the time at which the data instance was written to memory. The DataN field 226 represents the data of the data instance 220, and, as previously discussed, is stored in a data field having a length defined by the LenN field 224. The LenN field 224 allows for subsequent data instances (i.e., updated data) written to the SS data object 204 to be longer or shorter than previously written data instances, that is, variable length, in place updating. Thus, the data instances 220 of the SS data object 204 are not limited to a common length defined in the SS data object header 210, but the length of each data instance 220 can be tailored through the use of the LenN field 224.
Various processes of the FDM use the information in the SS data object header 210 and the data instance header 221 are used by various processes of the FDM in managing the data objects. As previously mentioned, a power loss recovery process uses the state information for data recovery in the event of a power failure. When a power loss recovery process is performed, the saved data can be restored by examining the state field. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a power loss recovery process can make the determination on how to take action based on the object state of the SS data object 204 and the data instance 220. For example, assuming that the object states shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the data object has an EMPTY state will no action be taken during the power loss recovery process. When the data object has a VALID_DATA state, the power loss recovery process determines whether any other copies of the data object exist and which copy should be recovered. For other object states, it is assumed that parts of the data object are unreliable or in an incomplete state, the data state is changed to an INVALID_DATA state, and are ignored by skipping past the appropriate portions of memory. The power loss recovery process will transition the information in the state field of the new data objects having a WRITTEN_DATA state to a VALID_DATA state, and any corresponding copies of the data objects having a VALID_DATA state to an INVALID_DATA state. In this manner, uncorrupted data can be guaranteed in the event a write operation is interrupted by power loss. Thus, in the worst case, a power failure during the updating of a data object results in the loss of the new data. The old data remains valid and can be recovered.
A reclamation process also uses the information of the state field to determine when a block of memory can be erased to reclaim memory, namely, when the state of the SS data object 204 is in the WRITING_HDR_LEN, WRITING_HDR, WRITTEN_HDR, WRITING_DATA, and INVALID_DATA states. That is, during reclamation of a container object, only SS data objects having a VALID_DATA state are copied into the new container object. In the event of power loss, either the new or old container object will be recovered. Consequently, only the valid SS data objects or the original SS data objects will be recovered. A more detailed description of a reclamation process using the information of the state field is provided in commonly assigned, co-pending U.S. Application No. [Application Number], entitled LINEAR OBJECT MANAGEMENT FOR A RANGE OF FLASH MEMORY, to Wong et al., filed [Filing Date], which is incorporated herein by reference.
Although the SS data object 204 has been illustrated in FIG. 3 as having the SS data object header 210 and the data area 212 are stored contiguously. However, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the SS data object header 210 and the data area 212 can be stored in separate locations of the memory without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, for a SS data object 304, a SS data object header 310 can be stored in a first location, such as a segment header list, and a data area 312 stored in a second, non-adjacent location in the memory, such as a data list. The SS data object headers 310 would include addressing information to locate the respective data areas 312. The segment header list can start at the beginning of the container object 200 (FIG. 2) and the data list start at the end of the container object 200 and extend toward the beginning. Therefore, the particular arrangement of the data area with respect to the SS data object header for a SS data object should not limit the scope of the present invention.
From the foregoing it will be appreciated that, although specific embodiments of the invention have been described herein for purposes of illustration, various modifications may be made without deviating from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the SS data object 204 has been described as being included in a container object 200, which itself may be included in a FDM volume 120. Both the container object 200 and the FDM volume 120 have been described as being variable in length, and can be stored anywhere within the available memory space. However, it will be appreciated that the SS data object 204 can also be employed with other data constructs not specifically described herein without departing from the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the invention is not limited except as by the appended claims.

Stanislaus National Forest Anticipated To Be Busy This Labor Day
Sonora, CA — On this Labor Day weekend, many will likely be heading to the high country in hopes of beating the heat.
Stanislaus National Forest spokesperson Diana Fredlund says it is important to plan ahead and be flexible.
If looking for a camping spot, she says, “We recommend having a couple of alternatives, so if its too busy, you can try those others.”
In addition, she notes, “Please be sure to follow all of our campfire restrictions. Right now, fires are only allowed in developed campgrounds in established campground fire rings.”
Fires outside of designated campgrounds are strictly prohibited.
In light of COVID-19, the Forest Service is also asking people to recreate as close to home as possible. Maintain six feet of social distancing from others, do not gather in large groups, and “pack in and pack out.”
Regarding the latter, Fredlund says it has been a challenge to keep the forest clean with so many people visiting over the recent months, so she hopes everyone will help out this weekend.

Okay, so Patrick is the winner because he now is $70 closer to reaching his goal of the needed $4000 for his upcoming Swaziland mission trip.
BUT, Chris Howard is also a winner because he had the highest bid in the auction for South African missionary Bronwyn Baker's painting of Africa.
We have been busy here at the Faith House painting lots of other pictures to auction off. In fact, we had another paint day on Wednesday and this time my neighbor Carolyn joined me, Bronwyn, and my kids.
She didn't get hers finished before we shut it down for the day so she's got hers to finish up. Bronwyn finished decorating the frame for our winning friend Chris Howard's "Love" painting and it will go up for auction this weekend.
Thank you, Chris, for your winning bid. Thank you, DeNise, for your bids. Thank you, Bronwyn, for your painting. And thank you to all the rest of you who have already been a part somehow of helping Patrick walk out God's plans for his summer. We appreciate it so very much!
If you are an artist or crafter who would like to contribute something to be sold or auctioned off on Patrick's behalf, just let us know. Or if you'd like to just make a monetary donation, that would be awesome, too. Just go to the Adventures in Missions website, select the Ambassador program. Enter Patrick MacLellan in the participant field, and then pay online. It is as simple as that!


Carrie Underwood isn’t afraid to speak up for herself.
On Monday, the country singer replied to a tweet from Sports Illustrated’s Jessica Smetana, in which the producer criticized Underwood’s “Sunday Night Football” intro tune.
“I love that NBC has been reading everyone’s [Cris] Collinsworth slide tweets because it means they’ve also been reading all the tweets about how much we hate the new Carrie Underwood song,” Smetana wrote Sunday, without directly tagging Underwood.
Underwood later responded: “Hey, I know my music isn’t for everyone, but I love what I do and I love being a part of @SNFonNBC! I am one lucky lady! I also love women who build other women up … just saying …”
The expectant singer also wrote: “Today, let’s be positive. Let’s be NICE to each other. Let’s do something nice FOR someone else. Smile at a stranger. It’s the start of a new week! Today is precious! Don’t waste it! Sending love and cheer to you all!!! #LoveWins.”
Not only did Underwood receive an endorsement from Olivia Munn, but Smetana responded, “OMG wait no I love you I just miss the old song!!”
“Sorry I dissed ‘Game On’ in my tweets about Cris Collinsworth’s slides,” Smetana posted Monday. “I didn’t mean to upset Carrie or her fans, and I’m all about supporting women too. I just miss ‘Waiting all day for Sunday Night.’”
Underwood’s “Game On” received a lukewarm reception following its debut in September, with many fans airing their grievances on Twitter.
