This memo documents the structure and implementation of the mote boot sequence in TinyOS 2.x.
TinyOS has a set of calling conventions and semantics in its boot sequence. Earlier versions of TinyOS used an interface named "StdControl" to take care of system initialization and starting required software systems. Experience with several hardware platforms showed StdControl to be insufficient, as it provided only a synchronous interface. Additionally, StdControl bundled the notion of initialization, which happens only at boot, with power management and service control. TinyOS 2.x solves these problems by separating what was once StdControl into three separate interfaces: one for initialization, one for starting and stopping components, and one for notification that the mote has booted. This memo describes the TinyOS boot sequence and reasons for its semantics.
The TinyOS 1.x boot sequence is uniform across most mote platforms (TOSSIM has a very different boot sequence, as it is a PC program). The module RealMain implements main(), and has the following signature:
module RealMain { uses { command result_t hardwareInit(); interface StdControl; interface Pot; } }
The mote main() function uses a mix of nesC and C:
int main() __attribute__ ((C, spontaneous)) { call hardwareInit(); call Pot.init(10); TOSH_sched_init(); call StdControl.init(); call StdControl.start(); __nesc_enable_interrupt(); while(1) { TOSH_run_task(); } }
Several problems exist. Some of these calls are artifacts of old platforms: the Pot component refers to the mica variable potentiometer for controlling radio transmission power, and for other platforms is a stub component Some of the calls -- TOSH_sched_init and TOSH_run_task -- are C functions that are implemented in other, automatically included files. Separation from the nesC component model makes changing what lies behind these functions more difficult than normal in TinyOS.
More importantly, the initialization sequence has several limitations. The component HPLInit implements the hardwareInit command (wired by the component Main): hardware initialization may not be part of a pure HPL layer. The scheduler is initialized after hardware, which means that no hardware initialization can post a task if it needs one. The StdControl interface combines component initialization (init()) and activation (start()/stop()); if a component needs to be initialized by RealMain, it must also be started. Separating these two leads to more flexible power management, and distinguishes required low-level components that must always be running (such as a Timer) from high level components that can be power managed (such as an application). Finally, some components that need to often need to be started by main, such as a radio, do not follow a synchronous start/stop model. In this case, some components can't operate properly until the radio starts, but main has no mechanism for waiting for the radio start completion event.
The TinyOS 2.x boot sequence uses three interfaces:
- Init, for initializing component/hardware state
- Scheduler, for initializing and running tasks
- Boot, for signalling that the system has successfully booted
The Init interface has a single command, init():
interface Init { command error_t init(); }
Init provides a synchronous interface, enabling initialization ordering. Unlike normal execution, in which operations from a wide range of components need to be interleaved effectively, initialization is a sequential, synchronous operation: no component can be started until initialization is complete. If a particular component's initialization requires waiting for interrupts or other asynchronous events, then it must explicitly wait for them (e.g., with a spin loop), MUST NOT return until complete. Otherwise the system may start before initialization is complete.
The Scheduler interface is for initializing and controlling task execution. It is detailed in TEP 106 [1].
The Boot interface has a single event, booted(), which the boot sequence signals when it has completed:
interface Boot { event void booted(); }
The module RealMainP implements the standard TinyOS 2.x boot sequence. The configuration MainC wires some of RealMainP's interfaces to components that implement standard abstractions and exports the others that are application specific. Code above the Hardware Independent Layer (TEP 2) SHOULD wire to MainC and not RealMainP:
module RealMainP { provides interface Booted; uses { interface Scheduler; interface Init as PlatformInit; interface Init as SoftwareInit; } } implementation { int main() __attribute__ ((C, spontaneous)) { atomic { platform_bootstrap(); call Scheduler.init(); call PlatformInit.init(); while (call Scheduler.runNextTask()); call SoftwareInit.init(); while (call Scheduler.runNextTask()); } __nesc_enable_interrupt(); signal Boot.booted(); call Scheduler.taskLoop(); return -1; } default command error_t PlatformInit.init() { return SUCCESS; } default command error_t SoftwareInit.init() { return SUCCESS; } default event void Boot.booted() { } }
The first step in the boot sequence is initializing the system:
atomic { platform_bootstrap(); call Scheduler.init(); call PlatformInit.init(); while (call Scheduler.runNextTask()); call SoftwareInit.init(); while (call Scheduler.runNextTask()); }
The first call, platform_bootstrap(), is a minimalist function that places the system into an executable state. This function MUST NOT include operations besides those which are absolutely necessary for further code, such as scheduler initialization, to execute. Examples of platform_bootstrap() operations are configuring the memory system and setting the processor mode. Generally, platform_bootstrap() is an empty function. TinyOS's top-level include file, tos.h, includes a default implementation of this function which does nothing. If a platform needs to replace the default, it SHOULD put it in a platform's platform.h file as a #define. The implementation of tos.h supports this:
/* This platform_bootstrap macro exists in accordance with TEP 107. A platform may override this through a platform.h file. */ #include <platform.h> #ifndef platform_bootstrap #define platform_bootstrap() {} #endif
The boot sequence has three separate initializations: Scheduler, PlatformInit, and SoftwareInit. The boot configuration (MainC) wires the first two automatically, to TinySchedulerC (discussed in TEP 106) and to PlatformC:
configuration MainC { provides interface Boot; uses interface Init as SoftwareInit; } implementation { components PlatformC, RealMainP, TinySchedulerC; RealMainP.Scheduler -> TinySchedulerC; RealMainP.PlatformInit -> PlatformC; // Export the SoftwareInit and Booted for applications SoftwareInit = RealMainP.SoftwareInit; Boot = RealMainP; }
MainC exports the Boot and SoftwareInit interfaces for applications to wire to. TinySchedulerC is the standard name for the TinyOS scheduler. As the initialization sequence requires being able to run tasks, the boot sequence initializes it first. The second step of initialization is to call PlatformInit.init(), which MainC wires to a component named PlatformC. PlatformInit is for initializations which must follow a very specific order due to hidden dependencies, e.g., as part of making the overall hardware platform operable. One example of this sort of initialization is clock calibration. Because PlatformInit calls the component PlatformC, each platform can specify the required initialization order. As these hidden dependencies must be due to hardware, the sequence is platform-specific. A port of TinyOS to a new plaform MUST include a component PlatformC which provides one and only one instance of the Init interface.
Initializations invoked through PlatformC meet some or all of the following criteria:
Three example operations that often belong in PlatformInit are I/O pin configuration, clock calibration, and LED configuration. I/O pin configuration meets the first two criteria. It should always be performed (regardless of what components the OS uses) for low-power reasons: incorrectly configured pins can draw current and prevent the MCU from entering its lowest power sleep state [2]. Clock calibration meets all three criteria. LED configuration is a special case: while it nominally meets all three criteria, the most important one is the third: as LEDs are often needed during SoftwareInit initialization, they must be set up before it is invoked.
Note that not all code which meets some of these criteria is wired through PlatformC. In particular, criterion 1 is typically necessary but not sufficient to require PlatformC. For example, a timer system that configures overflow and capture settings or a UART stack that sets the baud rate and transmission options can often be wired to SoftwareInit. They are encapsulated abstractions which will not be invoked or started until the boot event, and only need to be configured if the system includes their functionality.
Components whose initialization does not directly depend on hardware resources SHOULD wire to MainC.SoftwareInit. If a component requires a specific initialization ordering, then it is responsible for establishing that ordering. Due to the semantics of Init, this is usually quite rare; a component SHOULD NOT introduce initialization dependencies unless they are required.
One common approach is for a configuration to "auto-wire" the initialization routines of its internal components. The configuration does not provide an Init interface. Virtualized services often take this approach, as the service, rather than the clients, is what needs to be initialized. For example, the standard Timer virtualization [3], TimerMilliC, wires to TimerMilliP, which is a very simple configuration that takes the underlying implementation (HilTimerMilliC) and wires it to MainC:
configuration TimerMilliP { provides interface Timer<TMilli> as Timinitialization in ordererMilli[uint8_t id]; } implementation { components HilTimerMilliC, MainC; MainC.SoftwareInit -> HilTimerMilliC; TimerMilli = HilTimerMilliC; }
Rather than require an application to wire HilTimerMilliC to MainC, TimerMilliP does it automatically. When a component instantiates a TimerMilliC, that names TimerMilliP, which will automatically make sure that the timer system is initialized when TinyOS boots.
Interrupts are not enabled until all calls to Init.init have returned. If a component's initialization needs to handle interrupts, it can do one of three things:
- If a status flag for the interrupt exists, the Init.init() implementations SHOULD use a spin loop to test for when an interrupt has been issued.
- If no such flag exists, the Init.init() implementation MAY temporarily enable interrupts, if doing so will not cause any other components to handle an interrupt. That is, if a component enables an interrupt, it MUST NOT enable interrupts whose handlers would invoke any other component. Furthermore, when Init.init() exits, the interrupts must be disabled.
- If no such flag exists and there is no way to isolate which interrupt handlers are called, then the component MUST rely on mechanisms outside the Init sequence, such as SplitControl.
The boot sequence assumes that 1) is by far the dominant case. There are, however, possible situations where a component might need to handle an interrupt because of, e.g., hardware limitations (no pending flag) or to catch a brief edge transition. In these cases, a component can handle an interrupt in the boot sequence only if doing so will not cause any other component to handle an interrupt. As they have all been written assuming that interrupts are not enabled until after Init completes, making one of them handle an interrupt could cause it to fail.
Depending on what capabilities the hardware provides, there are several ways to meet these requirements. The simplest is to push these initialization edge cases out of the main boot sequence, e.g., into SplitControl. A second possibility is to redirect the interrupt table, if the MCU supports doing so. Whichever mechanism is chosen, extreme care needs to be used in order to not disrupt the operation of other components.
Unless part of a hardware abstraction architecture (HAA) [4], the Init.init() command MUST NOT assume that other components have been initialized unless it has initialized them, and MUST NOT call any functional interfaces on any components that might be shared or interact with shared resources. Components MAY call functions on other components that are completely internal to the subsystem. For example, a networking layer can call queue operations to initialize its queue, but a link layer must not send commands over an SPI bus. An HAA component MAY make other calls to initialize hardware state. A component that is not part of an HAA SHOULD NOT call Init.init() on other components unless it needs to enforce a temporal ordering on initialization.
If a component A depends on another component, B, which needs to be initialized, then A SHOULD wire B's Init directly to the boot sequence, unless there is a temporal ordering requirement to the initialization. The purpose of this convention is to simplify component initialization and the initialization sequence.
The following files in tinyos-2.x/tos/system contain the reference implementations of the TinyOS boot sequence:
- RealMainP.nc is the module containing the function main.
- MainC.nc is the configuration that wires RealMainP to PlatformC and TinySchedulerC [1].

Reading through various reports, I quickly notice two opposing stances regarding these substances (for the purposes of this report GHB and 1-4 BDO will be considered virtually interchangable - according to my experience - though there is obviously some controversy on this point). The first, is that many seemingly experienced 'psychonauts' routinely use these substances in conjunction with various entheogens. The other, expressed almost ad nauseum in reports specific only to these substances, is that they are noxious and produce a variety of negative side effects including addiction, withdrawal, and even death (even reports by otherwise relatively objective, sober reporters). It is because of these latter that I now feel compelled to add my humble (or perhaps not so) two cents to the fray.
For the record, I am a 47 year old male, 6'4, 195lb, who regularly enjoys, and has a relatively high tolerance for, alcohol in its various forms. No particular high tolerance for other entheogens, in fact, if anything, a tendency toward lower than average doses (I have generally found that half the 'usual' dose of most substances suits me well). In good health, physically fit, good diet, and take a daily regimen of supplements that include Vitamin C (2-3gm), 5-HTP (100mg every morning, every night), and 7-KETO (50mg). I also go through cycles of daily Piracetam (1600mg) and Hydergine (5 - 10mg) combination.
Over two years ago I first began researching GHB on the Net, and quickly decided to give it a go after coming across a couple of particularly thoughtful sites. I was able to obtain the powder salt form of GHB online (I live a country where it is not yet illegal), and began experimenting. 2gm of the powder dissolved in water turned out to be my optimum dose, and I began to use daily. For me, GHB proved a valuable ally in four key areas, namely Euphoria ('a gentle unclenching of the soul'), Exercise, Sex, and Sleep. Typically I would start the day with 2gm, then around noon dose again before doing my hour exercise routine, and then again 2gm before bedtime. A particularly favorite combination was 2gm of GHB in fresh brewed coffee of a morning.
Exercise: It noticeably increases my ability for prolonged, intense workouts. Due to its muscle relaxant properties, it is also a valuable ally with yoga.
Sex: Although sex while actually on GHB is incredible, I find that in general my sexual performance and capacity are enhanced (though I had not previously been among the Viagra deficit set).
Sleep: Truly like a baby. It's difficult to describe the deep sense of well being upon awaking from a GHB enabled sleep. So deep, in fact, that often I wake up after only 3-4 hours.
Because of my daily use, however, the powder salt form was becoming prohibitively expensive ($120/100gm, you can do the math). I read many reports that 1-4 BDO is a precursor to GHB (upon ingestion it is converted by the body into GHB), so again, obtaining a litre from an online supplier (99% pure 1-4 BDO) almost 2 years ago to the day, I began using 1-4 BDO, in a similar fashion, instead of the powdered GHB. My optimal dose for the BDO was established as 1.5ml. One noticeable difference between GHB and BDO is that the BDO enabled sleep is longer, 5-6 hours.
Contrary to many reports, there has been absolutely no escalation requirement for dose. In fact, for me, GHB and BDO have a fairly strict dosage curve, in that even a small amount over the optimal dose will indeed result in more wooziness than is comfortable. To me it is no wonder that people who are taking several times my optimal dose are making messy floors and walls, and making trips to the hospital. Not to mention people who are buying some colorless liquid at a club and ODing. Of course the maxims 'know thy substance', and 'know thy dose' should prevail, but sadly many people writing the aforementioned reports choose ignorance over 'just say know'. There are no good or bad substances, only appropriate and inappropriate doses. In my experience, food itself, under certain conditions, can become a pretty heavy hit.
In my case, due to extensive work-related travel, I have often gone a week or more without this valuable ally, to no ill effect (though admittedly less restful sleep than usual).

As part of the Obama administration’s work to make our health care system more affordable and accountable, data are being released that show significant variation across the country and within communities in what hospitals charge for common inpatient services.
The data provided here include hospital-specific charges for the more than 3,000 U.S. hospitals that receive Medicare Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) payments for the top 100 most frequently billed discharges, paid under Medicare based on a rate per discharge using the Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group (MS-DRG) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011. These DRGs represent almost 7 million discharges or 60 percent of total Medicare IPPS discharges.
Hospitals determine what they will charge for items and services provided to patients and these charges are the amount the hospital bills for an item or service. The Total Payment amount includes the MS-DRG amount, bill total per diem, beneficiary primary payer claim payment amount, beneficiary Part A coinsurance amount, beneficiary deductible amount, beneficiary blood deducible amount and DRG outlier amount.
For these DRGs, average charges and average Medicare payments are calculated at the individual hospital level. Users will be able to make comparisons between the amount charged by individual hospitals within local markets, and nationwide, for services that might be furnished in connection with a particular inpatient stay.
Data are being made available in Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) format and comma separated values (.csv) format.

music_generator.py
To reuse some basic code we will create a helper file music_generator.py
, containing multiple functions how to convert our genomes to a playable sound with pyo.
The functions are based on the example from Kie Codes that can be found here.
First we need to import pyo.
from pyo import *
We define a few variables we will use across our network regarding number of bars, number of notes and bits per note in our generated melodies.
BITS_PER_NOTE = 4
NUM_BARS = 8
NUM_NOTES = 4
We define a function that converts our genome containing bits (0s and 1s) to integers.
def int_from_bits(bits) -> int:
return int(sum([bit*pow(2, index) for index, bit in enumerate(bits)]))
This function converts our genome to a melody dictionary containing all necessary information.
def genome_to_melody(genome, num_bars: int, num_notes: int, num_steps: int,
pauses: int, key: str, scale: str, root: int):
notes = [genome[i * BITS_PER_NOTE:i * BITS_PER_NOTE + BITS_PER_NOTE] for i in range(num_bars * num_notes)]
note_length = 4 / float(num_notes)
scl = EventScale(root=key, scale=scale, first=root)
melody = {
"notes": [],
"velocity": [],
"beat": []
}
for note in notes:
integer = int_from_bits(note)
if not pauses:
integer = int(integer % pow(2, BITS_PER_NOTE - 1))
if integer >= pow(2, BITS_PER_NOTE - 1):
melody["notes"] += [0]
melody["velocity"] += [0]
melody["beat"] += [note_length]
else:
if len(melody["notes"]) > 0 and melody["notes"][-1] == integer:
melody["beat"][-1] += note_length
else:
melody["notes"] += [integer]
melody["velocity"] += [127]
melody["beat"] += [note_length]
steps = []
for step in range(num_steps):
steps.append([scl[(note+step*2) % len(scl)] for note in melody["notes"]])
melody["notes"] = steps
return melody
At last we define a function that convert the genome to a list of pyo events, which we can play and listen to.
def genome_to_events(genome, num_bars: int, num_notes: int, num_steps: int,
pauses: bool, key: str, scale: str, root: int, bpm: int):
melody = genome_to_melody(genome, num_bars, num_notes, num_steps, pauses, key, scale, root)
return [
Events(
midinote=EventSeq(step, occurrences=1),
midivel=EventSeq(melody["velocity"], occurrences=1),
beat=EventSeq(melody["beat"], occurrences=1),
attack=0.001,
decay=0.05,
sustain=0.5,
release=0.005,
bpm=bpm
) for step in melody["notes"]
]

We all need people who will give us feedback. That's how we improve.
Bill Gates
Pair programming is a brand new concept to me. While I have worked on group projects numerous times in the past, the majority of the work was usually completed solo. Pair programming truly embodies team work. While the process can have unique challenges, it has a number of advantages that allow work to be more enjoyable and completed with greater efficiency.
One of the greatest advantages of pairing is the information shared between the driver and navigator. There were numerous times during challenges when my partner and I would miss an important detail or get stuck on some part of the problem. It was extremely beneficial for my partner and I to correct each other and teach each other new programming concepts.Throughout the challenges I have completed, my partner and I strive to learn when we come across a roadblock, and we celebrate our successes (getting 0 failures in rspec!). The fusion of knowledge, encouragement, and hard work makes the challenges more enjoyable, and work gets completed more efficiently.
At the same time, pairing also presents a few challenges. For instance, if I feel that my partner is more knowledgable than I am, I start to think that I am slowing down the session and I have nothing important to contribute. I lose confidence in my abilities, and I feel like I cannot follow what is going on during the session. In addition, there are times when I feel as though my partner has fallen behind in the material, or I notice that the challenge is being completed incorectly. As a result, I become frustrated, and I feel like it would be more efficient if I just took control and completed the challenge alone. Communication is key in situations like this.
After reading my feedback, I have learned a great deal about myself. Most of the constructive feedback I received from my peers had a similar message. I need to work on voicing my thoughts as I program, and I need to try to keep the sessions more organized. The feedback I received is not surprising since I have also noticed that these are areas where I can improve. I appreciate the feedback, and I also like that the feedback promotes improvement. Moving forward, I am going to try to make sure the session is time-boxed and has a clear agenda. In addition, I will try not to get lost in my thoughts. Instead, I will narrate my steps out loud so that it is easier for my partner to stay on the same page as me.
I think the hardest part about giving feedback for me is honesty. It is not difficult for me to highlight my partner's positive qualities; however, when it comes to giving constructive feedback, I fear that I might come off as offensive. I have to keep in mind that everyone at DBC has a shared goal to learn as much as possible. It is always easier to hear what you are doing right; however, positive change can only happen if you are aware of where you need to put in more work. Feedback plays a pivotal role in self-improvement.

Mystery Men *1/2
rated PG-13 Universal Pictures starring Hank Azaria, Janeane Garofalo, William H. Macy, Kel Mitchell, Paul Reubens, Ben Stiller, Wes Studi, Greg Kinnear, Lena Olin, Geoffrey Rush, Tom Waits, Eddie Izzard, Claire Forlani based on the comic book by Bob Burden written by Neil Cuthbert directed by Kinka Usher
It could have been a summer hit; perhaps the beginning of a much-needed franchise for Universal Pictures. The superheroes-without-superpowers storyline seemed to appeal to all of us underachieving Americans. So where did "Mystery Men" go wrong? In my opinion, at almost every turn. "Mystery Men" is the story of 7 self-made-heroes out to fight supervillain Cassanova Frankenstein(Geoffrey Rush) in order to get back their real superhero, Captain Amazing(Greg Kinnear). The film is supposed to be a mockery of comic-book action franchises, but the jokes just aren't funny at all. The only real high-notes in an "all-star" cast(which includes Paul Reubens a.k.a Pee Wee Herman) are Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofalo, who each have the talent to make any line into a sardonic, cynical catchphrase. While the film's basic idea sounds like fun, "Mystery Men" is actually somewhat of a bore thanks to Neil Cuthbert's one-note script and Kinka Usher's wannabe-hip-and-stylish direction. Even as a comedy sketch, there wouldn't be much to "Mystery Men", so why torture us with a feature film? "Mystery Men" also disappointed at the box office, so thankfully, no sequel is being planned.

I just woke up from a 5 hour nap. I had spent the 2 days prior to the nap redosing MXE 25mg + MDPV 5mg every 5-6 hours.
The anti-depressant effects were immediate and I've woken up feeling like a completely changed person. I've been on SSRIs and other meds for years (still on Effexor ER) and have done my share of uppers/downers/lefters/righters but never a dissociative (no K/PCP exp, very limited DXM exp, lots of hippy crack (N2O) exp.)
I cannot explain how different life is without the normal 'fog' that depression uses to rob the true pleasure in life. I've been more productive, sociable and 'better' as a human being in the past 2 days than I've been on any drug in the past 10 years.
I can't stress how life changing the past 3 days have been.  I feel like a kid again. Things are interesting. I love learning—not that I didn't when I was depressed, but now picking up and learning a task seems trivial and purposeful. There's a certain 'push' or 'kick' in life.
Nicotine consumption went down 90% since first starting MXE treatment. Tobacco causes cancer and other problems, and these are no longer seen as justifiable vs the pros of smoking. I still get the urge to smoke, like after writing 'nicotine consumption' my brain lit up reminding me that a cig right now would be fantastic. The cig was not as fantastic as I had imagined it to be, and I put it out half way. But smoking still seems to agonise the Cool Receptor in my head.
Sex feels different. I feel like I just lost my virginity for the first time in my life, all the sex in the past not being equal in pleasure/value to my most recent sexual experience (same mrs!)
I don't feel like I've taken any drugs at all. Appetite is exceptionally good, brain and cognition are clear and the 'time dilation' now actually feels like I've normally been living life in a sped-up-anxious sort of tempo and that this 'dilation' is actually a step down to a more healthy life tempo.
It's not all perfect folks, don't get me wrong. This isn't a magic pill. Short term memory is sometimes off (though even sober it's very bad), reaching orgasm can be difficult due to the numbing sensation which is frequent primarily 2-6 hours into dosing. The drug is somewhat sedating and here PV helps a lot. I sometimes get light headaches on the comedown. minor Alice in Wonderland Syndrome when seated and focused on something for too long. Tolerance is going up and with it no doubt toxicity and side effects will rise as well.
These drugs were taken orally in capsules (both drugs together) or insufflated. Slight feeling of stomach uneasiness no matter (sublingual, oral, insufflated) almost like I'm hungry and full simultaneously.

For better or worse, pain tolerance has gone up. I catch myself pulling nose hairs out with pleasure sometimes, I can be a bit too rough in bed, etc.
 Have you seen the ARs (adverse rxns) of the current ADs on the market?
'depression' in this context refers to a chronic major depression that is mostly treatment resistant along with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Also note that my daily 150mg Effexor XR dose cannot be ruled out as a factor as well, though I've been taking it for >9 months at that dose without this profound of a change.

Summary
Our technology will require an initial wave of robots to be launched into space, and from there, they will
suffice as a renewable process. The system will work like stem cells, having each robot created either choose a
role or reproduce to make more robots, which solves a lot of problems. It will also use parabolic mirrors in the
mining process, heating up rock which can be separated into usable minerals. Overall, this method will be
revolutionary, both solving environmental issues here on Earth, and providing humanity with almost limitless
resources.
Overview
Our technology, named MRRM (short for Multifunctional Reproducing Robots for Mining) will be a system of
self-reproducing robots based in outer space which collects minerals from asteroids and sends processed minerals
back to Earth. This system will be built gradually, starting with an initial wave of robots which will require a
large but achievable amount of earth materials to build and deploy. However, this initial process will be the
only process consuming materials from earth while developing our technology; the rest of the robots will be
built from resources obtained in space itself. This first wave robots will be propelled into space and land on a
mineral-rich planet such as Mars, which will eventually become the "home base" for the entire operation. The
first goal will be reproduction; some robots will mine the planet's resources, some will fly out to asteroids
and obtain their resources, some will convert the resources to energy. Once the robots have gathered sufficient
materials, designated reproduction robots will begin to construct new robots with these materials mined in
space, using advanced 3D printing technology. In the end, our system of robots will perform different tasks
contributing to the overarching goal of mining asteroids and sending their minerals back to earth.
Stem Cells
One of the scientific principles involved in MRRM is based on stem cells. According to Mayo Clinic, "Stem cells
are the body's raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated…either
become new stem cells (self-renewal) or become specialized cells." This correlates to how the robots in MRRM
operate: they will first replicate exact versions of themselves, similar to the self-renewing stem cells, and
then start taking roles. This solution has many advantages; having robots build other robots outside of Earth
not only provides a workaround to much of the energetic cost of transporting a large amount of materials from
the Earth, but it also saves the Earth's atmosphere from pollution that can result from unnecessary launches.
Parabolic mirrors and Fermat's principle
Another scientific principle involved in MRRM is Fermat’s principle of least time. Part of our solution, mining
asteroids, will have robots use a parabolic mirror to concentrate light from the sun to heat up the asteroid’s
gas and rock. The principle behind this is the Fermat principle of least time, which states that when light
passes through two different materials, it is always bended by the time it gets to the second material in a way
so that it takes the least amount of time possible to travel through both materials. Using Fermat’s principle,
it can be proven that it’s possible to direct parallel light rays to meet at the focus of a parabolic mirror.
Since light carries energy, we use this energy to heat up the air. This heat can be used to mine the rock by
melting it into a stew which can later be separated via a centrifuge. Using this method, we can efficiently
extract materials from asteroids purely by solar energy, which is clean and renewable.
In conclusion
To humanity and its future, MRRM will be extremely important. Present factors such as overpopulation and
developing countries needing larger economies are causing an accelerated growth in mining; this in turn harms
the environment and consumes more and more of earth’s limited resources each year. MRRM would be groundbreaking,
in that it would completely solve these environmental issues currently present in mining. Moreover, it would
provide an almost limitless stream of resources that humanity could use to built anything beyond their wildest
dreams.

3.1 The python ProgramThe Python interpreter program is run as python (it's named python.exe on Windows). python includes both the interpreter itself and the Python compiler, which is implicitly invoked, as needed, on imported modules. Depending on your system, the program may have to be in a directory listed in your PATH environment variable. Alternatively, as with any other program, you can give a complete pathname to it at the command (shell) prompt, or in the shell script (or .BAT file, shortcut target, etc.) that runs it.[1] On Windows, you can also use Start Programs Python 2.2 Python (command line).
3.1.1 Environment VariablesBesides PATH, other environment variables affect the python program. Some environment variables have the same effects as options passed to python on the command line; these are documented in the next section. A few provide settings not available via command-line options:
How you set and examine environment variables depends on your operating system: shell commands, persistent startup shell files (e.g., AUTOEXEC.BAT on Windows), or other approaches (e.g., Start Settings Control Panel System Environment on Windows/NT, 2000, and XP). Some Python versions for Windows also look for this information in the registry, in addition to the environment. On Macintosh systems, the Python interpreter is started through the PythonInterpreter icon and configured through the EditPythonPrefs icon. See http://www.python.org/doc/current/mac/mac.html for information about Python on the Mac. 3.1.2 Command-Line Syntax and OptionsThe Python interpreter command-line syntax can be summarized as follows: [path]python {options} [ -c command | file | - ] {arguments} Here, brackets ([ ]) denote something that is optional, braces ({ }) enclose items of which 0 or more may be present, and vertical bars (|) show a choice between alternatives (with none of them also being a possibility). options are case-sensitive short strings, starting with a hyphen, that ask python for a non-default behavior. Unlike most Windows programs, python only accepts options starting with a hyphen, not with a slash. Python consistently uses slashes for file paths, as in Unix. The most useful options are listed in Table 3-1. Each option's description gives the environment variable (if any) that, when set to any value, requests the same behavior.
-i is used to get an interactive session immediately after running some script, with variables still intact and available for inspection. You do not need it for normal interactive sessions. -t and -tt ensure that your tabs and spaces in Python sources are used consistently (see Chapter 4 for more information about whitespace usage in Python). -O and -OO yield small savings of time and space in bytecode generated for modules you import: expect about 10% to 20% improvement in runtime, depending on your platform and coding style. However, with -OO, documentation strings will not be available. -Q determines the behavior of division operator / used between two integer operands (division is covered in Chapter 4). -W adds an entry to the warnings filter (warnings are covered in Chapter 17). -u uses binary mode for standard output (and standard error). Some platforms, such as Windows, distinguish binary and text modes. Binary mode is needed when binary data is emitted to standard output, as in some Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts. -u also ensures that output is performed immediately, rather than buffered to enhance performance. This is necessary when delays due to buffering could cause problems, as in certain Unix pipelines. After the options, if any, comes an indication of what Python program is to be run. A file path is that of a Python source or bytecode file to run, complete with file extension, if any. On any platform, you may use a slash (/) as the separator between components in this path. On Windows only, you may alternatively use a backslash (\). Instead of a file path, you can use -c command to execute a Python code string command. command normally contains spaces, so you need quotes around it to satisfy your operating system's shell or command-line processor. Some shells (e.g., bash) let you enter multiple lines as a single argument, so that command can be a series of Python statements. Other shells (e.g., Windows shells) limit you to a single line; command can then be one or more simple statements separated by semicolons (;), as discussed in Chapter 4. A hyphen, or the lack of any token in this position, tells the interpreter to read program source from standard input—normally, an interactive session. You need an explicit hyphen only if arguments follow. arguments are arbitrary strings: the Python application being run can access the strings as sys.argv. For example, on a standard Windows installation of Python 2.2, you can enter the following at an MS-DOS Prompt (or Command Prompt): C:\> python22\python -c "import time; print time.asctime( )" to have Python emit the current date and time. On an installation of Python from sources, on Cygwin, Linux, OpenBSD, or other Unix-like systems, you can enter the following at a shell prompt: $ /usr/local/bin/python -v to start an interactive session with verbose tracing of import and cleanup. In each case, you can start the command with just python (you do not have to specify the full path to the Python executable) if the directory of the Python executable is in your PATH environment variable. 3.1.3 Interactive SessionsWhen you run python without a script argument, python enters an interactive session and prompts you to enter Python statements or expressions. Interactive sessions are useful to explore, to check things out, and to use Python as a very powerful, extensible interactive calculator. When you enter a complete statement, Python executes it. When you enter a complete expression, Python evaluates it. If the expression has a result, Python outputs a string representing the result, and also assigns the result to the variable named _ (a single underscore) so that you can easily use that result in another expression. The prompt string is >>> when Python expects a statement or expression, and ... when a statement or expression has been started but not yet completed. For example, Python prompts you with ... when you have opened a parenthesis on a previous line and have not closed it yet. An interactive session is terminated by end-of-file on standard input (Ctrl-Z on Windows, Ctrl-D on Unix-like systems). The statement raise SystemExit also ends the session, as does a call to sys.exit( ), either interactively or in code being run (SystemExit and Python exception handling are covered in Chapter 6). Line-editing and history facilities depend in part on how Python was built: if the optional readline module was included, the features of the GNU readline library are available. Windows NT, 2000, and XP have a simple but usable history facility for interactive text-mode programs like python. Windows 95, 98, and ME don't. You can use other line-editing and history facilities by installing the Alternative ReadLine package for Windows (http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/readline.html) or pyrepl for Unix (http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/hacks/pyrepl.html). |

Check out my awesome book website. I've listed some of my favorite books below.
Thought to have been inspired by the true-life experiences of a marooned sailor, Robinson Crusoe tells the story of the sole survivor of a shipwreck, stranded on a Caribbean island, who prevails against all odds, enduring almost three decades of solitude while mastering both himself and his strange new world.
Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father when the single-engine plane in which he is flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tattered Windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave him as a present—and the dreadful secret that has been tearing him apart since his parent’s divorce. But now Brian has no time for anger, self pity, or despair—it will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed, to survive.
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal -- a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.


ABOUT
I am a Software Engineer who loves to learn new technologies
in my path of programming.
My first work of being a developer started in Tallink, while I
was there as an intern, I got a lot of experience of how development
and teamwork goes. Learned Elm language, new technologies and it was
the first time when I worked on Linux. Now I am working on Linux every day)
Right now I am working in Wallester, experiencing a new work process with
Go language, PostgreSQL, AWS, microservices architecture, and other interesting technologies.
In my free time, I am trying to freelance, just because I love to
create different websites on my own on PHP together with databases.
While I was in school, I had much time and I also loved to try myself
in creating different games on Unity, there are some Android and 3D
games that are uploaded into my GitHub.

New Analytical Trial - Deepika Dipesh
Reserach Question:
How much does people from different parts of the world are satisfied with their life and how does their income, number of their children and their country contribute to it? This will help the user to know the secret of healthy life in each country
Analysis
This new visualisation gives an overview of the data all together using parallel co-ordinates which gives user an underlying story of the research question.
Using multiple brush technique, user can select any country and any year to get information. For example below image shows that in India, though people are attained good education their scale of income is low and that makes them bit less unsatisfied with life.
With multibrush, User can select multiple countries for comparision. Thus below image shows that Turkey and Peru being a more democratic country, its citizen are more satisfied in life with less scale of income
Again between year 2010-2014 in mexico being the democratic country, the country's people are more satisfied added they have less number of children on average between 2 or 3.
In China over time, due to increase in democracy and scale of income, people have attained high education and achieved higher satisfaction in life but over time they have reduce their leisure and health life.Conclusion:
Thus from above visualisation, it is confirmed that people statisfaction of life is more related to scale of income and their country play a major role. Other variables are dependent on these variables. Better satisfaction improves the health of individual.


That means you can do things like: require('widget').stuff()
without any on-demand script loading.
Then you can compile it all into a single compressed .js file for deploying to your server or CDN.
It consists of two parts:
1. a runtime processor (dev)
2. a compiler (live)
The runtime processor allows you to debug your code much the same as you normally would. It loads your modules as separate js files to aid debugging, and hardly touches your source code during development.
The deploytime compiler reduces an entire 'application' to a single .js file and compresses it with Google's Closure Compiler (included)
One very simple example is included for now.
example/example-script.js
is a really simple application that calls in one module. example/example-page.php
shows how to run this script during development. example/example-build.sh
shows how to use the command line compiler for deployment. I haven't added any yet, but I may do. The focus of this project is the compiler, not a JavaScript library.
/usr/bin/java

'My life has been completely changed': Woman who suffered serious brain injury in crash pleas for road safety
by Adam HowlettA Suffolk mother-of three who suffered a serious brain injury in a car crash is urging motorists and cyclists to stay safe on the roads this winter.
Anna Leggett, 48, from Waldringfield, was left with life changing injuries after a 4x4 vehicle drove into the back of her car on the A137 in November 2016.
Her injuries at first appeared minor, however Mrs Leggett later experienced serious ongoing symptoms due to her injuries including memory loss, fatigue, chronic pain and issues with organisation and difficulty in social situations.
Mrs Leggett is now back educating her children at home following three long years of treatment, including sessions with neuropsychologist, physiotherapists and pain specialists as well as help from the Ipswich branch of brain injury charity Headway.
To mark Road Safety Week, which starts on Monday, Mrs Leggett is making an impassioned plea for road users to take care this winter.
She said: "With the mornings and evenings drawing in and the wintry conditions, I think it's important people give the road their full attention when they're behind the wheel.
"Even at slow speeds, accidents can cause significant injuries.
"My life following this accident has been completely changed.
"If the driver of the vehicle had been paying greater attention to what they were doing, this could easily have been avoided.
"I want to do anything I can to raise awareness of driving more safely, and it encourages me to know that something helpful and good can come out of my experience.
"I also urge cyclists to wear a helmet when they are on the roads.
"Since sustaining a brain injury and knowing the impact that even a relatively mild one can have on all aspects of life, whenever I see a cyclist without a helmet I feel dismayed.
"So please, show you brain some love and wear a cycling helmet."
Michelle Cresswell, from serious injury specialists CFG Law, who represents Mrs Leggett, said: "We see the impact of incidents on the road all the time, leaving people seriously injured and having a major impact on the lives of all of those affected by injury.
"All road users need to have safety at the front of their minds at all times when they are out driving, walking or cycling."

I mentioned yesterday Jack Warner's fantastic cheese-and-biscuits recipe, included in The Curious Cookbook by Peter Ross. The original source is a wartime collection entitled A Kitchen Goes To War : Famous People Contribute 150 Recipes To A Ration-Time Cookery Book (1940). Among the other dishes is the splendidly-named Agatha Christie's Mystery Potatoes. I was intending to transcribe the recipe here, then realised that in so doing I would shatter the mystery, so instead I will urge—or indeed egg you on—to buy the book.
Meanwhile, you might be interested in making imitation bacon out of marzipan. Who wouldn't be?
Take some of your marchpane [marzipan] Paste, and work it in red saunders [sandalwood—a red dye] till it be red; then rowl a broad sheet of white paste, and a sheet of red paste; three of the white and four of the red, and so one upon the other in mingled sorts, every red between, then cut it overthwart, till it look like collops [slices] of bacon, then dry it.
That is from A Queen's Delight of 1671, and given the title I suggest you make some to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee.

Alas, I was tagged by Beltzner, so must break my new year's resolution to not blog in 2009*. Thanks Mike. Seven things you may know about me, or not:
- I have three nipples. Of these, zero produce milk.
- I was a barista and a chef for many years before owning a computer.
- I can juggle. Balls. Clubs. Machetes. Torches. (Listed in descending order of skill-level and recency.)
- Some years ago, on the night before we moved from Seattle to Florida, someone stole our fully-packed truck and U-Haul, leaving us with nothing but the pajamas we were wearing, and a goldfish. It was a lesson in impermanence.
- I used to play the accordion, and was briefly in a band called Apolkalypse.
- One summer, I hitchhiked through 30 states with a friend. You've not truly seen America until it throws garbage at you from it's car.
I flew out of a rapidly moving Volkswagen bus when I was 8 years old, and landed on my head. I know what you're thinking, and yes, you're probably right. Seven from me, seven to you:
Sdwilsh. It's all business on your blog, but your quotes are on fire.
- Thunder, the Venezuelan ramen-lover. (Definitely a character in my novel. If I was writing one.)
- Josh. I thought your blog was dead, but then I found the tumble.
- Jeff, you don't blog, afaik. You should tweet seven things and seven people!
- Bowie. Kid, you're almost one full year old. Introduce yourself.
- James Earl Plush. Eagles? Beagles? Twins? Coincidence? I think not!
- David Cross. (Aim high, right?)
- I've been tumbling and tweeting regularly, so I kinda already broke my resolution.

Reports: Ronaldo Tells Friends His Big Regret
by Kurt BuckerfieldWith things not going very well for superstar Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus this season, the former Real Madrid talisman has reportedly opened up to his friends about a major regret of his.
Revealed: When Messi Found Out He Won Ballon d'Or
Despite scoring in his past two Serie A matches, the 34-year-old has endured a tough time in Italy in recent months.
After his relationship with manager Maurizio Sarri took strain recently, Ronaldo is believed to be unhappy at the Bianconeri, whom he joined from Los Blancos in 2018.
Following Real's win over Liverpool in the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League final last year, the Portuguese shocked many when he suggested it may have been his last match for the club, which eventually turned out to be true.
Now, according to ABC newspaper, Ronaldo has told close friends and family that he wishes he had not left the Spanish giants, and that his decision to move on might have been a mistake.

The report suggested that the Portugal captain was affected by missing out the 2019 Ballon d'Or, and feels he might have won the past two awards had he still been a Real player.
Ronaldo won the prestigious award on four occasions during his time with the LaLiga giants, for whom he scored 450 goals in 438 games in nine years.
Zlatan Takes Another Swipe At Ronaldo
He has scored eight goals and assisted a further two strikes in 17 matches across all competitions for Juve so far this season.

Jon Rahm shoots 66, makes best start of Race to Dubai contenders
DUBAI – Jon Rahm made the best start of the five players still in the running for the Race to Dubai title, shooting 6-under 66 to be three strokes off the first-round lead at the season-ending World Tour Championship on Thursday.
Mike Lorenzo-Vera led the tournament after a 9-under 63 on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates and was one clear of No. 2-ranked Rory McIlroy, who made eagle on No. 18 in his round of 64 after hitting a 3-wood from 286 yards to within about five feet.
Rahm was alone in third place after a bogey-free round during which he made four birdies in five holes early in his back nine.
Tommy Fleetwood, another player in with a chance of ending the season as European No. 1, was a stroke behind on 5 under after starting his round by holing out from 153 yards for eagle on No. 1.
Of the other Race to Dubai contenders, Bernd Wiesberger shot 70 and was tied for 14th place, Matt Fitzpatrick shot 71 and Shane Lowry shot 73.
Wiesberger leads the standings and will lift the trophy if he wins in Dubai or finishes alone in second place.
Fleetwood, second in the standings, knows a win coupled with Wiesberger finishing lower than outright second will see him capture the title for the second time in three years. The same scenario faces third-place Rahm, who won the World Tour Championship in 2017 and placed fourth last year.

These materials can include neurotoxins, carcinogens, hormone mimics and reproductive disruptors, which could be playing a role in a number of today's increasing health problems. Even the mainstream press often carries stories of cancers and respiratory problems linked to formaldehyde-based glues, plastics, paints, asbestos, and fiberglass. The toxicity of these materials impacts everyone associated with them: workers in the factories, builders on the construction site, and the inhabitants of those homes.
In contrast to these toxic materials, what could be less toxic than the clay, sand, water, and straw used to make cob?
Most new houses cost at least $100,000 to build and take a lifetime to pay for. Real earnings are declining, and housing costs continue to rise, trapping people in lifelong mortgages. Many homeowners take jobs they do not like to pay for houses they do not love.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. By using local, unprocessed materials such as earth and straw, by building smaller and smarter, and by providing much of the labor yourself, you can create a home that is almost unbelievably affordable. With earthen buildings especially, the raw material is almost free, and the skills needed are very basic. Many people have built cob homes for under $5,000. You can also save yourself money in the long run with a smaller, more efficient house that uses simple passive solar technology for heating and cooling.
All biological materials have a predictably short life and degrade over time. Wooden structures generally survive for only a few generations. As we currently build, using fast-grown softwood, a house is in poor shape in a half a century. Earth by contrast, being geological lasts indefinitely. Inhabited earthen buildings in the Middle East and India are often more than a thousand years old! Earthen walls are also fireproof and immune to wood-eating insects like termites.

The breathable clay walls in cob houses seem to pull some of the moisture out of humid air keeping the inside cooler in hot humid weather. In winter cob absorbs the energy of the sun during the day and radiates it back into the building at night, keeping the inside warm and cozy.


Manage a formal security awareness program.
An employee security awareness program increases staff participation in maintaining a secure computing environment.
All employees should receive information security awareness training upon hire and annually thereafter.
To conduct a security awareness program in compliance with PCI DSS, perform the following tasks:
Establish a security awareness program. Develop training materials. Designate staff responsible for training. Schedule annual training sessions. Train new employees upon hire. Make a spreadsheet with a list of all employees and the date of their most recent security awareness training to make sure all employees participate.
Prepare security awareness training media. Manage a portfolio of security training materials. Have the person responsible for the training produce or procure these materials. These materials should be in multiple formats, such as:
Schedule training. Schedule sessions to take place at least once a year. Have the training staff available throughout the year to accommodate new employees.
Have the employees sign acknowledgement forms. Prepare a form that states that the signatory understands the information security policy. Print these forms to make them available during each training session. After each training session, distribute them for the employees to sign. Collect the signed forms and attach them to the information security documentation. Discard the older sign-off forms if you have more than one for an employee.
Update documentation. Maintain a portfolio of security awareness training materials. Schedule presentations and/or annual training sessions. Keep records of conducted training. After each training session, have each employee sign a form that says they understand the information security policies and procedures. You may discard the older employee acknowledgement sign-offs if you have more than one for each. Attach these documents to the information security documentation.
