Installation and Setup¶
Dependencies¶
As QISKit ACQUA is built upon QISKit, you are encouraged to look over the QISKit installation too.
Like for QISKit, at least Python 3.5 or later is needed to use QISKit ACQUA. In addition, Jupyter Notebook is recommended for interacting with the tutorials. For this reason we recommend installing the Anaconda 3 Python distribution, as it comes with all of these dependencies pre-installed.
Installation¶
We encourage you to install QISKit ACQUA via the pip tool (a Python package manager):
pip install qiskit_acqua
pip will handle all dependencies automatically and you will always install the latest (and well-tested) release version.
We recommend using Python virtual environments to improve your experience.
Running an Algorithm¶
Now that you have installed QISKit ACQUA, you can run an algorithm by invoking it with the appropriate input. The input to a QISKit ACQUA algorithm is expected to be in JSON format. This can be done programmaticall, via the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or from the command line. In addition to the input itself, the JSON file encodes the algorithm that QISKit ACQUA will invoke on that input. One way to generate the JSON input is by serializing the input to QISKit ACQUA when executing one of the applications running on top of QISKit ACQUA, such as QISKit ACQUA Chemistry, QISKit ACQUA Artificial Intelligence, and QISKit ACQUA Optimization.
GUI¶
The QISKit ACQUA GUI allows you to load and save a JSON file to run an algorithm as well as create a new one or edit an existing one. So, for example, using the UI, you can alter the parameters of an algorithm and/or its dependent objects to see how the changes affect the outcome. pip installs a small script that allows you to start the GUI from the command line, as follows:
qiskit_acqua_ui
If you clone and run directly from the repository instead of using
the pip install
recommended way, then it can be run using
python qiskit_acqua/ui/run
from the root folder of the qiskit-acqua
repository clone.
Configuring an experiment that involves both quantum-computing and domain-specific parameters may look like a challenging activity, which requires specialized knowledge on both the specific domain in which the experiment runs and quantum computing itslf. QISKit ACQUA simplifies the configuration of any run in two ways:
- Defaults are provided for each parameter. Such defaults have been validated to be the best choices in most cases.
- A robust configuration correctness enforcement mechanism is in place. Any configuration is validated by QISKit ACQUA upon startup, and if the user has chosen to use the GUI to configure an experiment, the GUI itself prevents incompatible parameters from being selected, making the configuration error resilient.
Command Line¶
The command line tool will run an algorithm from the supplied JSON file. Run without any arguments, it will print help ibformation. pip installs a small script, which can be invoked with a JSON algorithm input file from the command line as follows:
qiskit_acqua_cmd examples/H2-0.735.json
If you clone and run direct from the repository instead of using
the pip install
recommended way then it can be run using
python qiskit_acqua
from the root folder of the qiskit-acqua
repository clone.
Browser¶
As QISKit ACQUA is extensible with pluggable components, we have provided
a documentation GUI that shows all the pluggable components along with the schema for
their parameters. pip
installsa small script to invoke the
browser GUI as follows:
qiskit_acqua_browser
Note: if you clone the repository and want to start the documentation GUI
directly from your local repository instead of using
the pip install
recommended way, then the documentation GUI can be run using the following command:
python qiskit_acqua/ui/browser
from the root folder of the
qiskit-acqua
repository clone.
Programming¶
Any algoirithm in QISJit ACQUA can be run programmatically too. The
examples
folder contains numerous cases that explain how to do this. Here you will
see there is a run_algorithm
method used, which takes either the JSON algorithm input
or an equivalent Python dictionary and optional AlgorithmInput
object
for the algorithm. There is also a run_algorithm_to_json
that simply
takes the input and saves it to JSON in a self-contained form, which can
later be used by the command line or GUI.

_The_Omega_Code_ (PG-13) 1/2* (out of ****)
I'm all for family-friendly entertainment with a minimum of sex, violence, and foul language--that is, when done right. And while _The_Omega_Code_, a squeaky clean thriller financed by Christian programming network TBN, may be right from religious perspective, it's wrong just about everywhere else. Stick a pro-faith overlay on poorly made cheese, and it's still poorly made cheese, no matter how positive its message is.
_The_Omega_Code_'s title refers to the secret code of the Bible, whose hidden prophecies govern every move of Stone Alexander (Michael York), a trusted politician bent on world domination. The fate of the world and mankind rests on the shoulders of Dr. Gillen Lane (Casper Van Dien), a motivational speaker who comes into the possession of a computer program that unlocks the Bible code--and is the final missing piece in Stone's dastardly plot.
But we mustn't forget that this is a TBN production after all, and thus come in all the added religious trimmings. Gillen, while a proponent of the Bible code, has lost faith in God after the years-ago death of his mother, who was deeply religious. Needless to say, he will have to accept Jesus Christ as his lord and savior in order to save the day. Then again, saving the day is not so much up to Gillen, of course, as it is to God, and _The_Omega_Code_ features what has to be the first literal deus ex machina since the theatre of ancient Greek times. As faith-affirming as it may be, the wrap-up is hokey and maddeningly unsatisfying.
Connoisseurs of camp will be the only people who will find much satisfaction from the acting. Van Dien is his usual unconvincing and completely embarrassing self; did anyone believe this smug, stiff pretty boy could convince as being a "Dr."? He is matched in the stiffness department by Catherine Oxenberg as a talk show host and, as Gillen's wife, an unknown actress whose name doesn't much matter because you're certain not to hear it again in the future. As Stone, York oozes slime and sleaze, which wouldn't be a problem for the villain role if he weren't supposed to be a _trusted_ and _loved_ political leader. Only Michael Ironside, in his typical shady element as Stone's main enforcer, does any work that is the slightest bit dignified.
And when I say "only," I mean only--the direction (by Rob Marcarelli) is flat; the special effects are laughably cheap; and the script is amazingly lunkheaded (Gillen's wife lets him know that their house is bugged by writing "BUG" on a paper, only to then discuss their "secret" plans verbally). In the end, the only thing that can be considered the slightest bit worthwhile is its spiritual message, but its something one can get at a fraction of the time--and for free--by simply tuning to TBN.

Hi,
i made my own skin for Snyergy and want to try it out now... i followed the guidelines found at http://synergy.wincent.com/faq.html#buttonGraphics - but still, it doesn't appear in the available skins.
I copied the files into two locations: -) ...:Users:...:Library:PreferencePanes:Synergy.PrefPane:Contents:Resources:Synergy:Contents:Resources:buttons:skinName (all six images) -) ...:Users:...:Library:PreferencePanes:Synergy.PrefPane:Contents:Resources:buttons:skinName (play, prev, next)
What is missing? tia,

Very funny (well, not funny ha ha, but funny odd) - I just encountered the same problem! Any 'elp from anyone in the know would be greatly appreciated.

Greg Hurrell
There are two places where you have to install the button sets, and one catch to be aware of. First, the places:
1. Synergy.prefPane/Contents/Resouces/Synergy.app/Contents/Resources/buttons/ (for use by the Synergy.app which you see in the menu bar)
2. Synergy.prefPane/Contents/Resouces/buttons/ (for use in the preference pane)
Now, the catch:
Synergy doesn't rescan the contents of those internal directories to see when new sets are added. This means that you can't actually add a new set; rather you must replace an old one. In other words, you need to pick a set you don't like, and overwrite the images from that set with your new images.
In Synergy Advance you'll be able to add/delete/download sets in a number of easy ways. So far I have plans to be able to do all this within the preferences, or with drag and drop, or by double-clicking sets in the Finder.

Class: ActiveSupport::FileUpdateChecker
| Relationships & Source Files | |
| Inherits: | Object |
| Defined in: | activesupport/lib/active_support/file_update_checker.rb |
Overview
FileUpdateChecker
specifies the API used by ::Rails to watch files and control reloading. The API depends on four methods:
-
initialize
which expects two parameters and one block as described below. -
#updated? which returns a boolean if there were updates in the filesystem or not.
-
#execute which executes the given block on initialization and updates the latest watched files and timestamp.
-
#execute_if_updated which just executes the block if it was updated.
After initialization, a call to #execute_if_updated must execute the block only if there was really a change in the filesystem.
This class is used by ::Rails to reload the ::I18n framework whenever they are changed upon a new request.
i18n_reloader = ActiveSupport::FileUpdateChecker.new(paths) do
I18n.reload!
end
ActionDispatch::Reloader.to_prepare do
i18n_reloader.execute_if_updated
end
Class Method Summary
-
.new(files, dirs = {}, &block) ⇒ FileUpdateChecker
constructor
It accepts two parameters on initialization.
Instance Attribute Summary
-
#updated? ⇒ Boolean
readonly
Check if any of the entries were updated.
Instance Method Summary
-
#execute
Executes the given block and updates the latest watched files and timestamp.
-
#execute_if_updated
Execute the block given if updated.
Constructor Details
.new(files, dirs = {}, &block) ⇒ FileUpdateChecker
It accepts two parameters on initialization. The first is an array of files and the second is an optional hash of directories. The hash must have directories as keys and the value is an array of extensions to be watched under that directory.
This method must also receive a block that will be called once a path changes. The array of files and list of directories cannot be changed after FileUpdateChecker
has been initialized.
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/file_update_checker.rb', line 38
def initialize(files, dirs={}, &block) @files = files.freeze @glob = compile_glob(dirs) @block = block @watched = nil @updated_at = nil @last_watched = watched @last_update_at = updated_at(@last_watched) end
Instance Attribute Details
#updated? ⇒ Boolean
(readonly)
Check if any of the entries were updated. If so, the watched and/or updated_at values are cached until the block is executed via #execute or #execute_if_updated.
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/file_update_checker.rb', line 53
def updated? current_watched = watched if @last_watched.size != current_watched.size @watched = current_watched true else current_updated_at = updated_at(current_watched) if @last_update_at < current_updated_at @watched = current_watched @updated_at = current_updated_at true else false end end end
Instance Method Details
#execute
Executes the given block and updates the latest watched files and timestamp.
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/file_update_checker.rb', line 72
def execute @last_watched = watched @last_update_at = updated_at(@last_watched) @block.call ensure @watched = nil @updated_at = nil end
#execute_if_updated
Execute the block given if updated.


'Women need legislation against unsafe abortion' - The Nation Newspaper
Frank Ikpefan, Abuja
A civil society organisation, Vision Spring Initiatives, has said that women and girls in Nigeria must be protected from unsafe abortion during pregnancy through strict government legislation so as to minimise maternal death.
The group noted that women and girls must be empowered on their rights, adding that it was regrettable that Nigeria still had a high maternal mortality.
The Vision Spring Initiatives’ Project Director, Ngozi Nwosu-Juba, stated this in Abuja during a national mock tribunal on sexual and reproductive health and rights conference.
She said: “Nigeria has the third highest infant mortality in the world and also the largest contributor to global mortality rate. The rates are high, not because diseases leading to death cannot be cured or prevented.
“But it is because women and girls are dying from preventable and treatable sexual health complications as a result of entrenched resistance to women’s autonomy and control over their bodies.
READ ALSO: 2,000 Nigerian women die annually of unsafe abortion -Gynaecologist
“This is often justified on the basis of culture or religion. Poor health care systems and weak policy implementation add to women’s risk of death.
“There is need for universal access to quality and affordable sexual and reproductive health education, including services.

“We are working to empower women and girls, raise awareness on their rights, advocate for the adoption and implementation of laws and policies that prohibit and prevent sexual violence and unsafe abortion.”
The group noted that the government’s commitment to the adopted Universal Health Coverage Declaration must focus on women and girls especially.

CONCEPTION
Keeping up with patients for improved rehabilitation
This project was conceived during an in-company UX/UI course. It was designed as a service to follow patients after hospitalization remotely during rehabilitation, while keeping the world class assistance.
Role: Product Designer
Duration: 1 month, 2019
Tools: Figma, personas, user journey maps, content taxonomy
The patients journeys were mapped and we found an opportunity for the service to improve its participation during the moment between the discharge from the hospital and the return appointment. A business model for a product designed to follow them remotely was presented. A service was designed for patients as a mobile app, from paper sketches to medium fidelity prototype. Some features would also be integrated with the eletronic medical record.
CONCEPTION
Users driven content and interactions
In this project, we were challenged to produce an updated version of the institutional website and my main contributions relate to information architecture.
Role: Product Designer
Duration: 8 months, 2018 - 2019
Tools: Figma, CMS, content taxonomy
A clearer and more concise version of the content was prepared, using a CMS (Content Management System). Some user testes were done and a protocol for future tests was generated. Later, we identified the need to restructure the value proposition and services offered to those interested in selection processes and educational programs. A content taxonomy was performed and, after maturing the initial text, a wireframe was produced. Forms would be presented as smooth conversations, in which small user decisions would guide content and interactions.
CONCEPTION
Bringing business and staff on the same page
The employee portal needed a vision for the future, stepping beyond its focus on contractual relationship with employees. Guiding principles and improvements in content architecture were suggested.
Role: Product Designer
Duration: 3 months, 2019
Tools: MS Power Point, focus group, personas, content taxonomy
To guide change, the channel would be understood as a mediating tool for the relationship between the brand and employees. Some principles would also be considered: collaboration, self-management, and service design. A prototype was generated, considering the moment of the relationship and seeking to reuse the tech stack, giving the tones of productivity, professional qualification and internal communication. In a focus group, we created personas, an initial taxonomy of existing services and a streamlined menu. The material became a start for later development.
CONCEPTION
Reframing patients experience
This project aimed to build a model of a team performance assessment based on patient feedbacks. The challenge was to identify appropriate metrics to assess the quality of patient experience, beyond Net Promoter Score.
Role: UX Consultant
Duration: 7 months, 2018 - 2019
Tools: personas, service blueprint
The concepts of proto-personas, patient journey and service blueprint were introduced and I advocated for the importance of obtaining qualitative data. The team gradually broadened the vision on User Experience and its metrics.
CONCEPTION + DEVELOPMENT
Spreading excellence in public health
As the hospital is a world reference in rehabilitation, the interest in visits increased exponentially over years. Thus, the ability to manage visit requests required a better solution.
Role: Product Designer
Duration: 9 months, 2015
Tools: MS Excel
Data concerning visitation requests were analyzed and the process was mapped. Before jumping into code, we managed all requests using a spreadsheet to mature the process. Based on lessons learned, we prototyped a visitor's centered dinamic form that would display different input fields and offer different programs depending on the data entered.
CONCEPTION + DEVELOPMENT
Empowering TV broadcasters to join the conversation
The startup aimed to offer analytical intelligence for TV broadcasters to participate in talks about their shows on Twitter. My mission was to help the team discover and deliver the best ways to monitor and analyze the conversations.
Role: Product Designer
Duration: 11 months, 2013 - 2014
Tools: Photoshop, MS Excel, interviews, Lean Startup, Scrum, Kanban
Through user interviews and customer relationship, we improved the product interface and terms used to monitor conversations. We also found that broadcasters needed much more than real-time data. From then on, in addition to the tool, we focused on providing more meaningfull strategic analysis and insights through weekly reports and support for successful data usage.


I like to bring together data and principles of marketing and design to tell compelling stories.
A range of experiences gathered during working with a conceptual fashion brand, a drink start up and festivals gave me a wide set of skills including graphic and web design, illustration, copywritting, marketing strategy and branding.

Async function that will be added
It's a race, we're only take the first result. In case, every racer was failed we return last error
Utilities.First could be use for the same task to get the result as soon as possible.
import { Utilities } from './src/index';
(async () => {
let result = await Utilities.First(
async () => {
return heavyTask('First');
},
async () => {
return heavyTask('Second');
},
async () => {
return heavyTask('Third');
},
);
console.log('The fastest is:', result);
})();
Result:
The fastest is: Second
As you see, we have one winner here. If there are an Error
, It's fine too that meant all tasks were failed.
Async function that will be added
Try an async function several times till it's successful
Utilities.TillSuccess could be used to guarantee your request or data reach target.
import { Utilities } from './src/index';
(async () => {
let tried = 0;
// Retries heavy task each 2 second, max retries are 5 times
let result = await Utilities.TillSuccess(
async () => {
tried += 1;
console.log(`Trying ${tried} time(s)`);
return heavyTask('Yes');
},
2000,
5,
);
console.log('Was it successful?', result);
})();
Result:
Trying 1 time(s)
Trying 2 time(s)
Was it successful? Yes
If we're fail all the times, an Error
will be threw.
Could be any kind of data
Function need to be retried
Sleep for a wait
Duration in milliseconds
Generated using TypeDoc
Start everything at the same time, It will return and array of IFillResult
.Fill() Guide
We will use this code to simulate an heavy task:
/** * We simulate a heavy task * @template T * @param {T} i * @return {*} {Promise<T>} */ async function heavyTask<T>(i: T): Promise<T> { const r = 1 + Math.round(Math.random() * 9); // Sleep for a random duration await Utilities.WaitSleep(r * 500); if (r % 2 === 0) { return i; } // Throw error if r is odd throw new Error('Unexpected result'); }
Utilities.Fill will be used to perform many tasks at the same time but you can't sure about its result.
import { Utilities } from './src/index'; (async () => { let result = await Utilities.Fill( async () => { return heavyTask('First'); }, async () => { return heavyTask('Second'); }, async () => { return heavyTask('Third'); }, ); console.log(result); })();
Result:
Results of all given functions will be appeared after all promises are fulfilled.

Appearance
The growth of the Pokemon is small enough. He has a light brown color, outwardly somewhat similar to a dinosaur. Cubone does not show his face because he is wearing his mother's skull. People have been puzzling over why he does this and what kind of face he has. There is a theory that his head is soft and he needs to protect it, and where can you find a knight's helmet made of iron in nature? In addition to the skull, Cubone carries a bone with him and uses it as a weapon.


TIFFDUMP(1) TIFFDUMP(1) NAME tiffdump - print verbatim information about TIFF files SYNOPSIS tiffdump [ options ] name ... DESCRIPTION tiffdump displays directory information from files created according to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0. The header of each TIFF file (magic number, version, and first directory offset) is displayed, fol‐ lowed by the tag contents of each directory in the file. For each tag, the name, data type, count, and value(s) is displayed. When the symbolic name for a tag or data type is known, the symbolic name is displayed fol‐ lowed by it's numeric (decimal) value. Tag values are displayed enclosed in ``<>'' characters immediately preceded by the value of the count field. For example, an ImageWidth tag might be displayed as ``ImageWidth (256) SHORT (3) 1<800>''. tiffdump is particularly useful for investigating the contents of TIFF files that libtiff does not understand. OPTIONS -h Force numeric data to be printed in hexadecimal rather than the default decimal. -m items Change the number of indirect data items that are printed. By default, this will be 24. -o offset Dump the contents of the IFD at the a particular file offset. The file offset may be specified using the usual C-style syntax; i.e. a leading ``0x'' for hexadecimal and a leading ``0'' for octal.

[gecode-users] Watching Propagators
Max Ostrowski

Mon Jun 20 16:11:44 CEST 2011
Thanks a lot for the paper.
I was not used to think in "non-trailing" systems, as i use a SAT-like solver.
But different to the approach from the paper i do not want to optimize search in Gecode.
So it would be enough to restrict myself to the propagation phase (Space->status()).
In my SAT system i added the CSP propagation to my unit-propagation.
So i do not do search (not here) with Gecode.
In my old implementation i checked which variables have changed after calling status(). All constraints that have these variables involved might have propagated something. The problem is, that i do not know the order of propagation.
Given that i decided (in my SAT solver) a reified constraint "A" is true and afterwards i call Gecode propagation. Another reified constraint "B" is made false by Gecode (just through propagation).
The reason for this might be "A", but also all other constraints that might got involved and whose domains have changed.
Given the order of propagation i could simply reduce the number of constraints that are the reason for constraint "B".
So, the problem doesn't consider search in Gecode, as i only start to search after i have a full propositional assignment.
Thanks a lot,
Max Ostrowski

Mum who went missing found dead two days after being traced 'safe and well'
Emma Watson, 32, was found dead at her home on Sunday - after first being reported missing two days earlier
by Abigail O'LearyA mum who went missing was found dead two days after being traced 'safe and well'.
Emma Watson was reported missing at around 3.30pm on Friday, November 8.
Later that night, police confirmed the 32-year-old from Wishaw, Scotland, had been 'traced safe and well'.
Sadly, Emma was found dead at her home just two days later on Sunday, November 10, reports the Daily Record.
There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding her death.
Heartbroken loved ones have paid tribute to the mum on social media.
Vicky Kennedy wrote: "So sorry to hear about Emma, totally shocked.
"My heart goes out to all her family, especially her kids.
"She will be sadly missed."
Linda Dougal said: "Thoughts are with her family and friends so tragic."
Pauline Lennox said: "Heartbreaking x."
A Police Scotland spokesperson told the Record: "Police Scotland can confirm that the body of a 32-year-old woman was found at her home in Gowkthrapple, Wishaw on Sunday, 10 November 2019.
"There are no suspicious circumstances and the Procurator Fiscal has been informed."


BABE: PIG IN THE CITY Reviewed by Jamie Peck
This "Babe" picks up with the titular porker leading a peaceful existence on the serene country farm of Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell, briefly reprising his Oscar-nominated role from the first movie). But a series of complications and crises leads Babe (voiced by E.G. Daily, who can also be heard as Tommy in "The Rugrats Movie") and Mrs. Hoggett (Magda Szubanski) on a quest for prize money and strands them in a big, frightening metropolis, the abstract likes of which haven't been seen since Tim Burton's last "Batman" film.
There, the pair crash at an inn populated mostly by creatures great and small who also have the gift of gab but live in fear of the city's stringent animal-control policies. Before long, Babe has gained the trust of the hotel hierarchy - including a pair of malapropping chimps (Steven Wright and Glenn Headly) and a wizened orangutan (James Cosmo) - and also a gang of homeless, mock-vicious street strays lead by a tough-talking pitbull (Stanley Ralph Ross); together, they veer in and out of trouble.
That director George Miller (the producer of "Babe" 1) is also the creator of Australia's Mad Max movies seems to explain why "Pig in the City" is such a bizarre film. Miller's impressive visual dynamo steers toward many memorable sights even when the scenes that show them off play on for too long. Couple that with the overt gloom of some passages and you've got prime examples of how this "Babe" might be too much for the wee ones to bear - a depressing sequence where Babe's furry friends get impounded almost extends to the point of morbitiy.
Other affairs that threaten the movie's G-rating include the implication of an airport cavity search for Mrs. Hoggett (!), a crippled terrier who has flashes of the afterlife following a nasty accident, and even glimpses of pretty city girls in thongs that don't leave much to the imagination. But these head-scratching moments are simple distractions, not overt detractions; "Babe: Pig in the City" is simply too fun a fantasy to be hampered by out-of-place moments, especially given that the entire movie blindsides the viewer.
So the first "Babe" ends up winning by a snout, but this handsomely-mounted charmer comes in a close second. All too precious is the film's flawless pastiche of real, animatronic and computer-generated critters - most memorably, a 20-cat chorus that belts out a heavenly rendition of "Three Blind Mice." Though naysayers (make that _neigh_-sayers) may dismiss the notion as just more of the same, a third "Babe" adventure doesn't seem out of the question, because for all of its uncanny nuances and twisted peculiarities, "Pig in the City" brings home the bacon.

When a computer is turned on, special firmware that is stored in non-volalite memory is run. The three most popular kinds are BIOS, UEFI, and Coreboot.
The original BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) was created for an IBM PC in the 70s. Since there was no official spec, PCs since then have conformed to match its behavior. The BIOS's goal is to iterate through all of the attached media until it can successfully boot from one. At start-up, the CPU executes the BIOS program, and on x86 chips this will happen in 16-bit mode (also called real mode). During boot, the BIOS loads the first block from disk, called the Master Boot Record (MBR), which contains bootstrapping code, a partition table, and the disk signature. The MBR is 512 bytes and is loaded into the physical address 0x7C00. Why? Apparently, this was a conscious decision by the IBM PC 5150 development team to leave surrounding memory available for interrupt vectors, the BIOS, and the OS. The BIOS checks that the signature matches 0xAA55 and proceeds to execute the boostrapping code.
I put together a simple BIOS-based boot program that prints "Hello, World!" to the screen. The source can be found on the boot-bios-helloworld branch of my oscons GitHub repository. I use YASM to assemble the source into a ELF object file named boot.o
,
$ yasm -f elf boot.asm -o boot.o
ld to link the object file into a binary that ensures the binary is loaded at address 0x7C00 and the last two bytes of the boot sector are 0xAA55,
$ ld.lld boot.o -N -T script.ld -b binary -o boot.img
the linker script used by ld to express these constraints holds the following,
SECTIONS { /* Define that the text section should be loaded at 0x7C00. */ .text 0x7C00 : {} /* Place Boot Signature at the last two bytes of the sector. */ . : AT(ADDR(.text) + 510) { SHORT(0xAA55); } }
objcopy to strip the binary of its ELF headers and produce the resultant disk image,
$ objcopy boot.img -S -O binary
and QEMU to emulate either an i386 or x86_64 machine with this image loaded onto its disk.
$ qemu-system-<i386|x86_64> -drive format=raw,file=boot.img
We first issue a directive to tell YASM that we are assembling 16-bit instructions.
bits 16
The BIOS interrupt vector 0x10 contains handlers that perform video services. For this program, we want to write to the Teletype, so we specify 0x0E as the handler in the AH
register. This handler takes in the character to write in the AL
register, so we can make use of the LODSB instruction to iterate through the characters stored at HELLO_STRING
, which expects the offset from the segment to be stored in the SI
register.
mov si, HELLO_STRING mov ah, 0x0E
Now we just loop over the NULL
-terminated string and print each character by calling the interrupt. Once we've reached the end of the string, terminate the program.
.loop: lodsb cmp al, 0 je end int 0x10 jmp .loop end: hlt
Make sure to declare the string constant in memory.
HELLO_STRING: db "Hello, World!", 0
Executing this bootloader program should result in output like this:
Bootloaders will often run in multiple stages, in order to access more program memory. The bootstrapping code in the MBR will usually load another block corresponding to the Volume Boot Record (VBR), which is located in a separate partition that is found by scanning the MBR's partition table. Eventually the loader will want to enter protected mode, with access to a larger address space and 32-bit registers.
This process involves setting up the Global Descriptor Table (GDT), and enabling the A20 Line. Real mode uses segmented addressing, where two segment registers can store a logical address composed of a 16-bit base and 16-bit offset. Its 20-bit physical address is computed as (base<<4) + offset
. Protected mode uses descriptors to translate logical addresses to physical addresses.
The GDT contains 8-byte entries, each of which has a base address, segment length, and other configurable attributes like access permissions. Indexes into the GDT are called selectors. Every GDT is required to have its first descriptor be NULL
. By initializing unused segments with this entry, an exception is triggered when unused segments are referenced. The GDT can be loaded with the LGDT
instruction.
Interrupts are a way to notify the CPU about an event, and have it execute some code. In real mode, a table of interrupt handlers is loaded and reserved between the physical addresses 0x0000 and 0x03FF, where each pointer is 4 bytes. These range from division-by-zero to BIOS interrupts that can write to the screen. Entering protected mode will require disabling interrupts beforehand. In protected mode, there is no predefined table, and BIOS interrupts are no longer accessible.
In order to address up to 4GB of memory, the 21st (indexed from zero) address line must be explicitly be enabled. Why isn't this enabled by default? Before processors with more than 20 address lines were introduced, accessing an address past 1MB would wrap around. Some engineers depended on this behavior, so in an effort to stay backwards compatible, the 21st address line (A20 line) is disabled by default. There are many ways of turning on the A20 line, all of which are required to have the widest processor support.
Finally, set the Protected Mode Enable (PE) bit in CR0, a control register. Perform a jump to a far address to clear the prefetch queue, and initialize protected mode. This will involve initializing the segment registers with a data segment from the GDT and jumping into the kernel.
This example extends the helloworld example above to enter protected mode, and prints a message indicating its success. The source can be found on the boot-bios-protected branch of my oscons GitHub repository. The build instructions have not changed, but there is additional work involved before printing a message. The first thing to note is that we want to print in protected mode by writing to video memory. The most convenient way to do this is to set the video mode to support 80x25 16 color text during boot, before entering protected mode. This can be done with the video services interrupt 0x10, and the AH=0, AL=3
.
mov ax, 0x3 int 0x10
We can now begin the process of entering protected mode by setting up the GDT. Under the gdt label, we define three 8-byte values representing each descriptor. Additionally define a pointer structure under the GDT_ADDR label which specifies the GDT's limit (size in bytes - 1) and starting physical address.
gdt: ; NULL Descriptor ; ┌──────┬───────┬───────┬────────┬──────┬───────┐ ; │ Base │ Flags │ Limit │ Access │ Base │ Limit │ ; ├──────┼───────┼───────┼────────┼──────┼───────┤ ; │ 0x0 │ 0x0 │ 0x0 │ 0x0 │ 0x0 │ 0x0 │ ; └──────┴───────┴───────┴────────┴──────┴───────┘ dq 0 ; Code Segment Descriptor Flags ; ┌──────┬───────┬───────┬────────┬──────┬────────┐ ┌─────────────┬──────┬──────┬───────┐ ; │ Base │ Flags │ Limit │ Access │ Base │ Limit │ │ Granularity │ Size │ Long │ Extra │ ; ├──────┼───────┼───────┼────────┼──────┼────────┤ ├─────────────┼──────┼──────┼───────┤ ; │ 0x0 │ 0xB │ 0xF │ 0x9A │ 0x0 │ 0xFFFF │ │ 0b1 │ 0b1 │ 0b0 │ 0b0 │ ; └──────┴───────┴───────┴────────┴──────┴────────┘ └─────────────┴──────┴──────┴───────┘ ; Access ; ┌─────────┬───────────┬──────┬────────────┬───────────┬────────────┬──────────┐ ; │ Present │ Privilege │ Type │ Executable │ Direction │ Read/Write │ Accessed │ ; ├─────────┼───────────┼──────┼────────────┼───────────┼────────────┼──────────┤ ; │ 0b1 │ 0b00 │ 0b1 │ 0b1 │ 0b0 │ 0b1 │ 0b0 │ ; └─────────┴───────────┴──────┴────────────┴───────────┴────────────┴──────────┘ dq 0x00CF9A000000FFFF ; Data Segment Descriptor Flags ; ┌──────┬───────┬───────┬────────┬──────┬────────┐ ┌─────────────┬──────┬──────┬───────┐ ; │ Base │ Flags │ Limit │ Access │ Base │ Limit │ │ Granularity │ Size │ Long │ Extra │ ; ├──────┼───────┼───────┼────────┼──────┼────────┤ ├─────────────┼──────┼──────┼───────┤ ; │ 0x0 │ 0xB │ 0xF │ 0x92 │ 0x0 │ 0xFFFF │ │ 0b1 │ 0b1 │ 0b0 │ 0b0 │ ; └──────┴───────┴───────┴────────┴──────┴────────┘ └─────────────┴──────┴──────┴───────┘ ; Access ; ┌─────────┬───────────┬──────┬────────────┬───────────┬────────────┬──────────┐ ; │ Present │ Privilege │ Type │ Executable │ Direction │ Read/Write │ Accessed │ ; ├─────────┼───────────┼──────┼────────────┼───────────┼────────────┼──────────┤ ; │ 0b1 │ 0b00 │ 0b1 │ 0b0 │ 0b0 │ 0b1 │ 0b0 │ ; └─────────┴───────────┴──────┴────────────┴───────────┴────────────┴──────────┘ dq 0x00CF92000000FFFF GDT_ADDR: dw 24-1 dd gdt
Our booting code can now load the descriptor table with
lgdt [GDT_ADDR]
The next step is to enable the A20 line. We should define a procedure to check that the A20 line has been enabled, so we can call it after each attempt. The key logic here is to write a 0x00 byte to 0x0000:0x0500 and 0xFF byte to 0xFFFF:0x0510. If the byte at 0x0000:0x0500 is 0xFF, then the access wraps around, and the A20 line is not enabled.
checkA20: push ds push es mov ax, 0xFFFF mov ds, ax not ax mov es, ax mov cx, word [es:0x0500] mov dx, word [ds:0x0510] mov byte [es:0x0500], 0x00 mov byte [ds:0x0510], 0xFF cmp byte [es:0x0500], 0xFF mov word [es:0x0500], cx mov word [ds:0x0510], dx je checkA20__exit mov ax, 1 checkA20__exit: pop es pop ds ret
One of the A20 enabling mechanisms will attempt to interact with the 8042 Keyboard Controller, but since that is a blocking operation, we must define a procedure to wait until the I/O port of the keyboard controller is not busy.
waitIO: in al, 0x64 test al, 0x2 jnz waitIO ret
Now our A20 enabling procedure can be defined.
enableA20: ; ...body of procedure... enabledA20: ret
In the body, we first do an initial check that A20 is enabled.
call checkA20 cmp ax, 0 jne enabledA20
The first mechanism is to perform a BIOS interrupt 0x15 with AH=0x24, AL=01
. Not all BIOS's support this ability, so we check after performing the interrupt.
mov ax, 0x2401 int 0x15 call checkA20 cmp ax, 0 jne enabledA20
If that fails, we try the most traditional approach of sending a write command (0xD1), followed by an A20-enabling command (0xDF) to the keyboard controller. 0x64 represents the controller's command register only for writing, while 0x60 is a data port for both reading and writing.
call waitIO mov al, 0xD1 out 0x64, al call waitIO mov al, 0xDF out 0x60, al call checkA20 cmp ax, 0 jne enabledA20
The last attempt to enable A20 is to set bit 1 on a byte from System Control Port A (0x92). We do this method last because it can crash. Note, we don't do conditional jump after it since the immediately succeeding instruction is a ret
, and the value in the AX
register is already set.
in al, 0x92 or al, 2 out 0x92, al call checkA20
Now that all of the A20-related procedures have been defined, we can try enabling it. If it fails, branch to where the failure string is printed.
call enableA20 cmp ax, 0 je failedA20
Printing the failed string works exactly like printing the hello-world string in the previous example.
failedA20: mov si, FAILED_STRING mov ah, 0x0E .loopFailedA20: lodsb cmp al, 0 je endFailedA20 int 0x10 jmp .loopFailedA20 endFailedA20: hlt
We just make sure to declare our NULL-terminated string constants.
FAILED_STRING: db "Failed to Enter Protected Mode.", 0 SUCCESS_STRING: db "Successfully Entered Protected Mode.", 0
Otherwise, we can now enter protected mode. We should first disable interrupts with the cli
instruction, as to not only prevent exceptions while enabling protected mode, but also since future interrupt handling will require us to set up the Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT).
cli
We just have to set the Protected Mode Enable (PE) bit on the special CPU register CR0.
mov eax, cr0 or eax,0x1 mov cr0, eax
Finally, we long jump into protected mode, to clear the CPU's prefetch queue. Note that the address here references the code segment, defined in the GDT, whose selector is 1. The hardware wants the segment value to be the selector multiplied by 8.
jmp 0x8:protectedMode
Printing the success string is slightly different than the failure string, because we now write directly to the text output of the video memory, located at the physical address 0xB8000. For each character we print, increment the pointer by 2, since each entry for a character is accompanied by an attribute (like its color). In this case, 0xF
represents white, so we OR it with AH
, and write AX
to video memory.
protectedMode: bits 32 mov esi, SUCCESS_STRING mov ebx, 0xB8000 .loopSuccess lodsb cmp al, 0 je end or ah,0xF mov [ebx], ax add ebx, 2 jmp .loopSuccess end: hlt
If the bootloader was able to successfully enter protected mode, you should see output like the following:
Otherwise, you should see:
NOTE: There is an additional process when entering long mode, a.k.a 64-bit mode, which involves CPU feature detection, setting up paging, setting the long mode bit in the model-specific-register, and updating the GDT and IDT.

Here are three trends that are predicted to see massive attention in 2021 and beyond.
Progress in AI has already reached a point where it can add significant value to practically any business.
According to a report by Boston Consulting Group, more than 80% of companies plan to accelerate their digital transformation, but only 30% of digital transformations have met or exceeded their target value.
Many AI projects are small scale — less than a quarter of companies in McKinsey’s 2020 State of AI reported significant bottom-line impact.
Deep learning pioneer Dr. Geoffrey Hinton recently told MIT Technology Review that deep learning will be able to do “everything” — i.e. replicate all human intelligence.
There is a step to full autonomy that we must first conquer: what Dr. Manuela Veloso at Carnegie Mellon calls symbiotic autonomy. With symbiotic autonomy, feedback and correction mechanisms are incorporated into the AI such that humans and machines pass information to each other fluidly.
With deep learning, neural networks approximate complex mathematical functions with simpler ones, and the ability to consider a growing number of factors and make smarter decisions with fewer computing resources gives them the ability to become autonomous.
Quantum computers have the computational power to handle complex algorithms due to their abilities to process solutions in parallel, rather than sequentially.
Let’s think of how this could affect development and delivery of vaccines.
First, during drug discovery, researchers must simulate a new molecule. This is tremendously challenging to do with today’s high-performance computers, but is a problem that lends itself to something at which quantum computers will eventually excel.
However, AI and quantum computing have even more to offer beyond creating the vaccine.
Quantum machine learning is an extremely new field with so much promise, but breakthroughs are needed to make it catch investors’ attention.

Iran 'spy' environmentalists get prison sentences of up to 10 years
by AFPTEHRAN: Six environmental conservationists accused of “spying” on Iranian military sites have received sentences of up to 10 years in prison, according to state news agency IRNA and Shargh daily.
Sentences “from four to 10 years” have been issued for some of the case’s suspects, IRNA quoted judiciary spokesperson Gholamhossein Esmaili as saying.
Mohammad Hossein Aghasi, a lawyer who represents some of the defendants, told Shargh daily that six of the eight have had their sentences handed down.
Aghasi, however, was not present in court as the state has designated its own hand-picked lawyers to represent the defendants.
He told Shargh daily that Niloufar Bayani and Morad Tahbaz had received 10-year sentences, while Taher Ghadirian and Houman Jokar had been given eight years and Amirossein Khaleghi and Sepideh Kashani six years.
“Sam Rajabi and Abdolreza Kouhpayeh’s sentences are yet to be announced,” he added.
The defendants were among conservationists working with the local environmental group Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation to track endangered species.
They were arrested in early 2018 over allegations of espionage, but four of them were later charged with “corruption on earth”— one of the most severe charges under Iran’s law, which would carry the death penalty.
The death row charge was dropped last month, though the defendants still face other security-related charges.
Another environmentalist arrested last year, Kavous Seyed Emami, a 63-year-old renowned university professor with dual Iranian and Canadian citizenship, allegedly committed suicide in prison in February 2018, a fortnight after his arrest.
His widow, Maryam Mombeini, left Iran for Canada last month and was reunited with her two sons after being unable to leave for months, according to Canadian officials.

Around 35 trapped in east German potash mine, reports website
BERLIN, Nov 8 — Around 35 mine staff were trapped about 700 metres below ground, two of them injured, after an unexplained blast in a potash mine in eastern Germany, the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung news website reported, citing a spokesman with the state mining authority.
The local broadcaster MDR reported that a rescue operation had begun.
The staff were located in a safe sector of the mine in Teutschenthal, about 150 km (95 miles) southwest of Berlin, and were being supplied with oxygen.
The mining authority said one of the injured was in a serious condition, the other only lightly injured, and that there was a possibility that they could be brought to the surface through a shaft that was intact.
The mine is no longer active but is being used to deposit mining waste from elsewhere, the website said. — Reuters

News story
An update on how school business management programmes will run in the future.
In line with our purpose to create a self-improving, school-led system, the National College for Teaching and Leadership ( NCTL ) has stepped away from the design and provision of school business management ( SBM ) programmes.
Content from our former SBM programmes is now freely available under the Open Government Licence .
This is an opportunity for schools and organisations to take ownership of their leadership development and to ensure that the role of SBM remains an important part of effective school leadership and school improvement.
Accreditation of programmes delivered at Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) Diploma levels 4, 5 and 6 will be overseen by the Institute of Leadership and Management ( ILM ), who’ll also monitor and quality-assure the training providers.
If you’re interested in becoming a provider for SBM programmes, please email ILM .
We’ve launched a SBM national scholarship scheme until 2016 to help school business managers get funding towards the new accredited provision.
If you’re seeking support and advice, the National Association of School Business Management has a range of materials to offer members.
Our original content is available on the National Archives website .
The school business management competency framework is available on GOV.UK.

Discover what's included in Bootstrap, including our precompiled and source code flavors.
Precompiled Bootstrap
Once downloaded, unzip the compressed folder and you'll see something like this:

This is the most basic form of Bootstrap: precompiled files for quick drop-in usage in nearly any web project. We provide compiled CSS and JS (bootstrap.*
), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (bootstrap.min.*
). source maps (bootstrap.*.map
) are available for use with certain browsers’ developer tools. Bundled JS files (bootstrap.bundle.js
and minified bootstrap.bundle.min.js
) include Popper.
CSS files
Bootstrap includes a handful of options for including some or all of our compiled CSS.
| CSS files | Layout | Content | Components | Utilities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
bootstrap.css bootstrap.min.css |
Included | Included | Included | Included |
bootstrap-grid.css bootstrap-grid.min.css |
Only grid system | — | — | Only flex utilities |
bootstrap-utilities.css bootstrap-utilities.min.css |
— | — | — | Included |
bootstrap-reboot.css bootstrap-reboot.min.css |
— | Only Reboot | — | — |
JS files
Similarly, we have options for including some or all of our compiled JavaScript.
| JS files | Popper |
|---|---|
bootstrap.bundle.js bootstrap.bundle.min.js |

Bootstrap source code
The Bootstrap source code download includes the precompiled CSS and JavaScript assets, along with source Sass, JavaScript, and documentation. More specifically, it includes the following and more:
bootstrap/
├── dist/
│ ├── css/
│ └── js/
├── site/
│ └──content/
│ └── docs/
│ └── 4.3/
│ └── examples/
├── js/
└── scss/
The scss/
and js/
are the source code for our CSS and JavaScript. The dist/
folder includes everything listed in the precompiled download section above. The site/docs/
folder includes the source code for our documentation, and examples/
of Bootstrap usage. Beyond that, any other included file provides support for packages, license information, and development.

Seventeen arrested in human trafficking raids in London
Seventeen people have been arrested in early morning raids across east London in an international human trafficking investigation.
A total of 29 women aged 20 to 40 were rescued in the operation by the Met, supported by officers from Romania.
The potential victims were taken to a "place of safety", and the suspects, 14 men and three women, remain in custody.
Sixteen warrants were executed at properties in Redbridge, Havering, Barking and Dagenham and Tower Hamlets.
The suspects, who were aged between 17 and 50, were held on suspicion of modern slavery, controlling prostitution, Class A drug offences and firearm offences relating to a stun gun.
They remain in custody in a central London police station.
Four warrants were carried out in Romania at the same time, leading to the arrest of a man in Constanta.
'One fell swoop'
Det Ch Insp Richard McDonagh, said: "The Met recognises the seriousness of modern slavery and the devastation it brings to people's lives.
"Today's synchronised operational activity [had] the aim of, in one fell swoop, dismantling an organised crime network and providing support to the victims."
A spokesman for Romanian police in the UK said: "Romanian police officers working shoulder to shoulder with our British partners is a great achievement, a proof of our mutual permanent support and a great professional reward."


Emotional UX
When software first came into the world, technological limitations made for a very low “experience” bar. Software either could do what you needed it to do, or it couldn’t. If it required a fifty page manual to explain how to calculate the product of two numbers, then that’s just how it was.
With the dawn of the Macintosh, “usability” slowly came into vogue and the experience bar was raised. Nowadays it’s expected that software actually be easy to use. Gone are the fifty page manuals, in are self-describing interfaces with strategically designed virtual affordances.
We are on the verge of an era where the software experience bar will be raised even higher. No longer should we only be concerned with how easy it is to do something, but with how a user should feel while they are doing it.
I recently worked at a company called Koko FitClub. Koko is a fitness center franchise, but one unlike any other. It was designed for people who hate the traditional gym experience. Part of that “traditional gym experience” is the aggressive personal trainer who pushes you out of your comfort zone, harasses you to show up on a fixed schedule, and berates you for imperfect performance.  Its attitude is that every step you take toward fitness – even if it’s only one workout a week – is a positive step toward better health, and should be celebrated.
This philosophy went beyond the in-club experience and marketing materials. It went right down into the functionality of the member web site. We had enormous volumes of member data to work with, but what we didn’t present to the user was just as important as what we did. The site never commented on how long it had been since your last visit. It never challenged you to visit more often or lift more weight than your fellow members. And it never graphically displayed how much further you had to go on your predefined program before moving onto the next one. We had the technological capability to do all of those things, but we very intentionally chose not to.
Every visual element and interaction on the site was designed to give you a feeling of “I’m doing OK, and if I do more, it’s reason to celebrate”. This type of emotion-based design goes beyond usability. Usability is binary – something is either easy or it isn’t. Emotion is not – it’s very brand-specific. The ideal emotional design for Koko would not be the correct one for a CrossFit “box” or a Gold’s Gym.
When designing a website or an app, remember to consider how a feature will make someone feel before deciding if it belongs in your design. Your brand isn’t just reflected in your logo or visual design. It goes all the way down to the widgets on a screen.
