Oh my! I’ve been ‘downgraded’ far more times in my life than I have digits! The most heartbreaking ones were when I’d be downgraded from Concorde to a subsonic flight. And yes, as many point out, depending on the type of fare you’ve paid, there are all sorts of compensatory apologies an airline can offer.But in their defence, I must also say that the number of upgrades I’ve received in my life pale in comparison to the downgrades. So it’s a fair two-way street.There have been occasions when the equipment was the cause of the downgrade, such as the intended aircraft going ‘tech’ and having to be replaced with an aircraft that’s configured differently, even to the point of not even having premium cabins.I take it all in stride and passionately encourage anyone who’s faced with the scenario of being downgraded that you first recognise that it’s not the fault of the poor, suffering gate agent, nor of the flight crew who must endure the vitriol and obnoxiousness of some passengers who are taking their grudge of whatever has happened leading up to the flight, onto the aircraft. The crew are innocent victims!During its service years, I flew Concorde dozens of times by choice. However, there were times when I actually preferred a subsonic flight. But both BA and AF had an internal policy that if a passenger were checking in with a full-fare First Class ticket across the Atlantic and there had been either a technical problem or a severe delay on your booked subsonic flight, as you checked in, you were occasionally surprised to learn that you were being invited to fly on Concorde instead.I do know, for fact, that there was a conditional ‘SFU’ vetting policy that applied, even in the scenario of a full fare First Class ticket, when it came to ‘upgrading’ to Concorde. If you didn’t look ‘appropriate’ you were never invited. Generally it had to do with your personal attire and even how you presented yourself to the check-in staff. I can assure you that once you were informed of a cancelled flight, or an extreme delay, if you were doing the Death Scene from Camille in front of the airport staff, there’s no way you were going to be ‘invited’ to fly, with their compliments, on Concorde.More recently I’ve had a few interesting anomalies when it comes to flying JAL from the UK to Australia. I’m a dedicated BA passenger, but I quite often enjoy trying the variety of flying on Cathay, JAL, Ethiad, Emirates, and Qantas when I’m trekking back and forth to the Pacific. I’ve even done the Malaysian, and Air New Zealand routes by choice, just for the variety. But now the public can often be easily misled when it comes to code shares and interpretation of classes of service. I faced this several times when travelling JAL First Class to Tokyo, then discovering that my onward flight to either SYD or BNE was on their ‘lesser’ carrier - Jetstar, where there was only a two-cabin configuration, ostensibly Business and Economy. QF have operated similar flights, such as SYD-FRA where there was only Business and Economy. But again. I take it in stride. If it’s the best they have to offer then I’ve never seen a reason to complain.I’ve learned over the years that I enjoy having a brief stopover usually in one direction of my journey, when I’m travelling from the UK to Australia. As a consequence, occasionally there’s a differential which forces me into a ‘downgrade’ of sorts.The carriers where I find this phenomena of downgrading happening most, are sadly, the american carriers. And if you ever want to watch live drama unfold before your eyes, there’s no better theatre than the vast lands of the usa. I was in First Class on a United flight from SEA-HKG when a change in equipment caused the airline to use a differently configured aircraft. All this meant, in my eyes, is that when doing the re-accommodation of passengers in First Class, there were a couple of passengers who had anticipated being on the Window and Aisle, were now relegated to the centre-point seats. You would have thought the passengers had just been handed a note as the doors were closing, telling them that their home was on fire.The gentleman’s ‘excuse’ for such deplorable behaviour was his assertion that he had ‘given the airline millions over the years.’ And he went to great strides to let everyone in the cabin know of his displeasure. I still don’t know whether it was deliberate or not, but several hours into the flight, a passenger ‘accidentally’ dropped a glass of wine into the recalcitrant passenger’s lap. Apologising profusely over the now wet man, the passenger said loudly enough for all of us to hear, “I’m so sorry, I hope this small accident won’t be worse than your not getting the window seat you wanted.”I did remain in my seat, but recall that I turned to look out my own comfy window and smiling.May all your journeys be ones of discovery!Fr B+When We Need a Little HelpWe’ve Just won the Lottery!!!

A poem in which every second line end-rhymes with the line before it is said to be written in couplets. The rhyme scheme is AA BB CC and so on. If the lines are written in iambic pentameter, the term “heroic couplets” is used. Poets noted for their work in heroic couplets include Alexander Pope and John Dryden.Some of my poems are written in rhymed couplets, viewable here: Michael R. Burch PoemsHere is a famous poem written in rhymed couplets: Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" … That's my last duchess painted on the wall,   Looking as if she were alive. I call   That piece a wonder, now: Fra Pandolf's hands   Worked busily a day, and there she stands.   Will't please you sit and look at her? I said   "Fra Pandolf" by design, for never read   Strangers like you that pictured countenance,   The depth and passion of its earnest glance,   But to myself they turned (since none puts by   The curtain I have drawn for you, but I)   And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst,   How such a glance came there; so, not the first   Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, 'twas not   Her husband's presence only, called that spot   Of joy into the Duchess' cheek: perhaps   Fr‡ Pandolf chanced to say "Her mantle laps   "Over my lady's wrist too much," or "Paint   "Must never hope to reproduce the faint   "Half-flush that dies along her throat": such stuff   Was courtesy, she thought, and cause enough   For calling up that spot of joy. She had   A heart--how shall I say?--too soon made glad,   Too easily impressed; she liked whate'er   She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.   Sir, 'twas all one! My favor at her breast,   The dropping of the daylight in the West,   The bough of cherries some officious fool   Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule   She rode with round the terrace--all and each   Would draw from her alike the approving speech,   Or blush, at least. She thanked men--good! but thanked   Somehow--I know not how--as if she ranked   My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name   With anybody's gift. Who'd stoop to blame   This sort of trifling? Even had you skill   In speech--which I have not--to make your will   Quite clear to such an one, and say, "Just this   "Or that in you disgusts me; here you miss,   "Or there exceed the mark"--and if she let   Herself be lessoned so, nor plainly set   Her wits to yours, forsooth, and make excuse,   --E'en then would be some stooping; and I choose   Never to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt,   Whene'er I passed her; but who passed without   Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;   Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands   As if alive. Will't please you rise? We'll meet   The company below, then. I repeat,   The Count your master's known munificence   Is ample warrant that no just pretense   Of mine for dowry will be disallowed;   Though his fair daughter's self, as I avowed   At starting, is my object. Nay we'll go   Together down, sir. Notice Neptune, though,   Taming a sea-horse, thought a rarity,   Which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me!  

Where is a common misunderstanding about RISC architecture. Lots of people blindly believe RISC command set is very limited and primitive. This is not the case.RISC has very limited memory access instructions, comparing to CISC, this is true. You can load from memory to register, or store from register to memory. No funny stuff like “Add this number to the memory at this address”.In other aspects, RISC could have very rich instructions. Imagine classic:fmadd FRd, FRa, FRb, FRc floating point register A multiplied with floating point register B, then the content of register C is added and result is placed to register D.two math operation executed during 1 cycle (throughput, not latency, of cause).When you have 32 general purpose registers 32 floating point registers and 32 special 128-bits vector registers you can reach much higher sustained performance when handling regular data, then Intel architecture able to.
