Computer Aided Design
CAD, or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), is technology for design and technical documentation, which replaces manual drafting with an automated process. It is useful for engineers, designers and professions alike.
Fusion 360
Fusion 360 is a cloud based CAD tool. It allows us to make 2D and 3D drawings to allow exploration of product ideas. It combines organic shapes modelling, mechanical design and manufacturing together. It is downloadable on desktop for most computers (I use apple and it is compatible with IOS). The software is free for students after confirming student ID with the system. One of the main materials that is useful is Kevin Kennedy's Fusion 360 Navigation video.
Here are my first sketches based on the exercises given to us class. You can find these exercises on this EP1000 site by Mr Dorville
1. Create sketches using the tool as circled
As you can see I have done up a sketch of my first assignment here. I used the circle tools, the line tools and measurement tool. I also made sure to draw this top down as you can see from the icon on the right. To do the same as me, just click on the icon.
You can also open up the sketch palette as seen on the right. It makes functions easier to toggle. This is also my completed sketch. You can see how I made use of the sketch tools and dimensions to draw precise shapes. When you type in the measurement you are looking for, it automatically makes the sketch dimension that long.
2. You can extrude sketches to make them 3D
This is a different sketch I did. As you can see here it has been extruded and is now a 3D object. I used the "extrude" tool (as seen in the circle in the picture above), selected my sketch and dragged it out to reach this shape of this dimension. You can do this by manually dragging or keying in the measurements. Both work equally well.
Be careful to select the entire sketch, if you don't this might happen:
This is what happened to me when I only selected the two ends. Mouse over and make sure the entire sketch turns dark blue. That's how you know you have selected the whole sketch.
For my 3rd assignment, I used the "fillet" feature to make the edges rounded. As you can see, the front top, bottom and back of this 3D piece are rounded. The "fillet" function allows you to do that.
Something to note is that the model had to be built from bottom up. I first drew from the top view, left and bottom. This allowed me to extrude the artwork.
3. Making a box to laser cut
Generally, Fusion 360 allows us to laser cut objects digitally. To learn more about laser cutting, you can check out the Computer Controlled Cutting page in the 3D printing tab. The continuation of this box is also on the Computer Controlled Cutting page.
There are many ways to make a box, one method is through "teeth cuts" where you cut the pieces to fit into each other like a puzzle. Here you can see an extrusion of a layer.
This is the box with all 4 sides extruded.
 Try and make it of equal length, here it was done by drawing 3x10 rectangles at the sides.
After cutting one particular side, you can use the "combine" too (as seen above) to cut and shape the other pieces. This is how I did the base. I used the combine>cut too and selected the base, followed by the other 3 sides. Theck the "keep tools" box so that the components will cut the base and still all remain.
Here you can see the finished box including the lid and stopper components I made seperately. This box is then laser cut which you can check out more of in Computer Controlled Cutting page.
4. Designing a chess piece to 3D cut
First I had to have a reference photo to follow, this is the one I chose.I then imported this as an SVG into Fusion 360. It is treated as a canvas. From there, I outline and draw out the shape of my knight which I will later need to extrude.
Here is the extruded final. Most of these features have already been covered earlier. The knight has been extruded 180mm. For the base, I drew the shape of the width and used the function "Revolve" to achieve a hollow base. Another thing which I realised later on should have been solid (more in 3D printing)
5. Other designs done in class
The following are two things that we were tasked to try and design in class. First was a tag/coin slip and the other was a fidget spinner.
Thank you! That's all :)

'A recovering politician' - the new Twitter life of former MPs
by Gavin StampFor the 60 or so former MPs who aren't standing in the next election, this is the first day of the rest of their lives.
Many have spoken in recent days about how much of a wrench it is to leave Parliament. But life must go on as many remain public figures hoping presumably, in time, to pivot towards new careers.
So how have they updated their Twitter profiles to reflect their change of status?
Several, such as Sir Alan Duncan, Jeremy Lefroy, Louise Ellman and Caroline Spelman, have opted to keep it very factual, pointing out that they are no longer an MP and are not seeking re-election.
Others hint at things to come. David Lidington says he is "exploring fresh pastures" after 27 years as MP for Aylesbury while Mims Davies - who is reportedly in contention for the seat of Mid Sussex after quitting Eastleigh - says she is "now a jobseeker".
Others are more open about seeking elected office elsewhere, Rory Stewart succinctly describes himself as a candidate for Mayor of London.
Vince Cable's profile reads like a mini CV which, as a former Lib Dem leader, Business Secretary and MP for Twickenham, is understandable.
For some, such as Sir Nicholas Soames, Amber Rudd and Jo Johnson, their profiles are for now a blank canvas. There seems to be no mention at all of their time or achievements in Parliament, politics or government - perhaps because they speak for themselves.
Philip Hammond needs no introduction either. His profile baldly states that he is a former chancellor of the Exchequer, but there is no reference to the party he represented for 22 years and from which he was recently ostracised.
In contrast, Nicky Morgan's primary description of herself is as a One Nation Tory.
John Woodcock tells his followers it was the "honour of his life" to have been MP for Barrow and Furness for nine years as well as signalling his new role as the government's special envoy on countering violent extremism.
Prize for honesty
Others clearly want to put their time in Parliament - and the Brexit wars of the past few years - behind them. Justine Greening highlights her new social mobility venture and the fact she's an Abba fan.
Owen Smith reminds people that while he is no longer an MP, he is still a campaigner, Remainer, Springsteener and lover of 99 ice creams.
While Keith Simpson refers to himself as a "retired MP" and military historian, Roberta Blackman-Woods says although she is no longer in Parliament, she is definitely not retiring.
But the first prize for honesty must go to Nick Boles, the former MP for Grantham and Stamford, who labels himself as a "recovering politician gradually returning to normal life".
Finally, there are a handful of MPs, most notably Ken Clarke and John Bercow, who never ventured onto social media during their time in Parliament. Will that all change now that are moving onto new things?

Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat until hot. Rub a little of the oil all over the lamb leg steaks, using your hands, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the lamb leg steaks to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown griddle marks appear on both sides of the steaks. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest. Keep warm.
Meanwhile, heat 1-2 tablespoons of the remaining oil in a separate frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.
Add the chopped anchovy fillets and chopped tomatoes and stir to combine.
Increase the heat, then add the beans and artichokes. Continue to cook for 4-5 minutes, carefully, until the butter beans have softened and the artichokes have warmed through.
Stir in the remaining oil, rosemary and sherry vinegar until well combined.
To serve, divide the butter bean mixture equally among four serving plates. Place one lamb leg steak on top of each serving.

BY EDWIN JAHIEL
MEN IN BLACK ** 3/4 . Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Produced by Walter F. Parkes, Laurie MacDonald.Screen Story and Screenplay by Ed Solomon. Based on the Malibu comic by Lowell Cunningham.Photography, Don Peterman. Editing, Jim Miller. Production design, Bo Welch. Costumes,Mary E. Vogt. Visual Effects Supervisor, Eric Brevig. Alien Make-Up Effects Rick Baker. Co-Producer,Graham Place. Executive Producer, Steven Spielberg. Music, Danny Elfman. Cast: Tommy Lee Jones (K), Will Smith (J), Linda Fiorentino (Laurel), Vincent D'Onofrio (Edgar), Rip Torn (Zed), Tony Shalhoub (Jeebs), Siobhan Fallon (Beatrice), et al. An Amblin production released by Columbia. 96 min. PG-13.
Will Smith's good looks and good timing, ironic mien and overall cool make him a capital asset of this yap and zap movie, along with Tommy Lee Jones in what is probably his first out-and-out comic role, played tongue-in-cheek, mostly deadpan, with a delivery of lines faster than any character's in a Howard Hawks screwball entertainment.
MIB is a spoof of many things, primarily of sci-fi flicks and specifically of nasty non-brothers from other planets. It also changes a "serious" comic-book into comedy. Jones (whose name is K in a throwaway Kafka joke) belongs to a super-super-secret government outfit, so secret that other agencies know of it. The Men in Black are after illegal aliens, nor your garden variety undocumented Mexicans, Paraguyans, Antilleans, Nigerians or former Sovietskis, but real E.T. aliens. In a spoof of census-taking, the secret agents know that some 1,500 outer-spacers live in the USA.
Most are "good citizens" and are left alone. But the occasional bad 'uns, destroyers in a mind-boggling variety of forms (such as nasty Spielbergian gremlims, insect-like monsters, critters a la Alien, animals, ordinary humans, and so on), have to be terminated with extreme prejudice.The ingenious way K searches for them is by reading supermarket tabloids. Clever and funny.
As his venerably-aged partner wishes to retire, K, looking for a replacement, selects NYPD cop Smith, who becomes J. The two engage in a mad series of comically vigorous feats.
The opening sequences are funny. The MIB secret immigration building is a howl, especially as weird creatures are asked by Customs if they are carrying forbidden fruit, vegretables and the like. Jones's patter (it often reaches rhetorical heights) is very funny. Te neural neutralizer, a gizmo that zaps selected periods of memory, is amusing. (To avoid its effects the Men in Black wear dark, aptly named Ray-Ban glasses. That's the best product placement in years).
Most funny too is when Will Jones is somehow led to a recruiting room of the MIB yet has no idea as to why he is there. Zed (the great Rip Torn,good in any role, even the smallish one here) administers a test to the Best of the Best of the Best, all in uniform (they are the cream of the military), bellowing cliches. Smith wears flamboyant street casuals.
An even funnie small gem is when, absurdly and unflappably, Smith takes the written exam sitting in a modernistic boothlike seat, with nothing to place the questionnaire on, using a pencil that breaks and pierces sheets of paper, yet coming out the victor. that have no place on which to lie, is a small gem. The scene was probably influenced by movies of the late Francois Truffaut, in which schoolchildren have no end of problems with ink and copybooks. (Elsewhere there are also middlin' funny throwaway references to movies and TV such as Sgt. Friday, Jeopardy, etc.)
Such passages, plus the two partners, are delightful. The other major assets of the film are most imaginative photography and amazing special effects that include morphing and transformations.
Now to the negatives. There is no true plot, unity or continuity. The movie grows as, and into, a catch-all. There is a lack of logic and explanations, even by crazy standards. Anything goes, anything is good for a gag or verbal or visual joke, whether it's about an E.T. squid baby to Dennis Rodman, to goings on in the morgue, to a farmer's wife (no, not the usual traveling salesman salacious jokes). Most work amusingly, but the over-episodic structure, the arbitrariness of events, the unending yap and zap, lessen the movie. Too much is too much and may, depending on the viewer, start leading to tedium abetted by the unsolved problem of "how can we end this picture?" Well, it just fizzles.
I grant you that it is not easy to parody sci-fi films, not just the funny ones but those eager movies that, from a certain angle, are themselves unconscious parodies. Even so, Men In Black is guilty of what is often a central problem of the movies it spoofs: overkill.
As it runs 96 minutes, MIB might be given a cautious certificate of membership in BBNMM,the famed organization Bring Back the Ninety Minute Movies. With ten minutes cut and much tighter construction, MIB may even have been a candidate for a Certificate of Merit.

tl;dr: use an emoji-based system to improve communication in code reviews 😆
Definitions
- The contributor is the person or persons submitting the change request.
- The reviewer is the person or persons checking the change request.
| Emoji | Description |
|---|---|
| ∅ | The emptymoji (∅) is much like the empty set and everything is true of the empty set 😄. The reviewer expects the contributor to make a change to the code, or is requiring a clarification from the contributor about the code. |
| 🙈 ∨ ⛏ | The see no evil monkey or the pick axe (i.e. a miner 😉) represents a minor issue with the code, the code still works and handles the use cases it is supposed to, however, there could be an unconsidered edge case in the future. One of these won’t stop a change being approved but a few of them will (although we would be less generous than the DVSA). |
| 🐧 ∨ 🐤 | The penguin or the baby penguin, in sort of a rhyming slang the penguin is a Mr Flibble (i.e. a quibble). Stylistically I would have approached the problem a different way, or highlighting that there are other ways to approach the problem. The point is it would be a waste if the change process was purely a mechanical way of getting code out as quickly as possible. The review process should be about teaching other members of the team how the contributors code works. |
| ☁ ∨ 💡 | The cloud or the lightbulb mean that reading the change made me think of something. We should follow up with it in another channel. The onus is on the reviewer to do the follow up (e.g. send an email or create another issue). |
Why Revmoji
We don’t need to argue why code reviews are so critical to a software project. Many intelligent people have answered that question comprehensively. Instead I’d like to focus on code review as a tool for encouraging shared ownership and training people on a code base.
Typically we’ll work on teams with a broad range of abilities, this often leads to an imbalance when reviewing. More junior engineers can be apprehensive about reviewing a more senior (or project lead’s) code. That is if they even get the opportunity of review at all.
Conversely when code is reviewed it can be difficult for the proposer to tease out what is a stylistic point and what is a critical concern. With an experience or skill disparity this is exacerbated, resulting in longer times to merge.
Using emoji we can quickly and easily mark our code reviews in a way that both parties can understand. Hopefully this system just acts as a trigger for developing a much broader shared language with your team.
Finally this is not intended to be complete I would like to add more, it’s not as comprehensive as gitmoji but think it’s a good place to start. 🎁ing revmoji.


Introduction
From a fan's perspective, comebacks are one of the most exhilarating things in football. Who wouldn't love watching the team they support go from 0-2 down to win 3-2 with the last kick of the game? (The opponent maybe?). Even the players themselves get a rush from such a dramatic finish. The goal of this article is to determine which club in world football deserves the title of “Comeback Kings” and what statistics aid in this cause. Every club wants it, but surely only a few deserve the title.
"Top" Clubs
Before we look into comebacks, let's determine the biggest clubs in football. We match up teams from the top 5 super leagues in Europe, all the way from the 1994-95 season. Hover over seasons to see which teams dominated different eras.
Barcelona, Real Mardid, Manchester United, Bayern and Juventus make up the top 5 teams based on league wins across all these divisions. Pretty much expected, but there are still a few interesting stories here...
Roman Abramovich Era - In 2003, Chelsea were bought over by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. Since then, over $2.5 billion was spent in fees and salaries resulting in 6 league titles.
Italian Football Scandal - In May 2006, Juventus became one of the five clubs linked to rigging Serie A games, the result of which saw the club relegated to Serie B for the first time in its history.
Post Sir Alex Ferguson Era - In 2013, the most successful manager in English football retired from managing the most successful club in English football. Since then, Manchester United's win % has fallen to 60% from 67%.

Next
Comebacks with that winning mentality
Now that we got that out of the way, lets focus on the 10 biggest clubs. (Sorry fans of other clubs. Your teams just aren't big enough in history. Maybe soon?) Lets match them up based on the number of comebacks completed vs the number of wins over time. A comeback king is a team that customarily wins, but when faced with the rare obstacle of traling, digs down deep to grab that excusive comeback. They should stick out on the top right corner of the graph.
Conclusion - Only Real Madrid and Manchester United have a valid claim to be called the True Comeback Kings of Football.
What causes comebacks? (Or what doesn't)
Analysing these teams, lets try and figure out why they achieve so many comebacks. Could it be change in possesion stats, attempting more shots on goal or opponents loosing their nerve and commiting more fouls.
Fascinating to see that
shots on goal almost doubled on average for all these teams during their comebacks. Most of these teams also draw alot more fouls during their comeback. This could be due to opponents not being able to handle the pressure of maintaining the lead. Most surprising is the fact that
possession remains almost same before and after a comeback, meaning teams don't need to hold on to the ball longer to start their fightback.

Building an Android App
from the Command Line
(4 January 2017)
I have been learning a bit of Android programming recently (late to the party, I know). One thing that frustrated me was figuring out how to actually build an Android program.
Things are simple enough with C. As explained in the first section of K&R, one might write this as a first program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello, world!\n");
return 0;
}
and turn it into an executable by simply invoking the system compiler as below.
$ cc hello.c
$ ./a.out
Hello, world!
This diagram illustrates the full process:
For Android, however, the official way to write Hello World is to fire up Android Studio, use its wizard to create a new project, and the application will then be generated and built automagically in a few minutes.
This is of course intended as a convenience for the developer, but for someone who wants to know what's going on, it makes things difficult instead. What actually happened? Which of all these files are really necessary for Hello World?
Others have expressed similar concerns:
(For me, it generated a 50 MB directory containing 1,348 files spread across 630 subdirectories.)
Perhaps it is the control freak in me speaking (a good trait for programmers about their programs), but I simply don't feel comfortable not understanding how to build my own program.
Below are my notes on how to build an Android application by hand from the command line. The instructions are for Linux, but they should be easy to adapt to Mac or Windows. The full source code and a build script is available in command_line_android.tar.gz.
Table of Contents
Installing the Development Tools
Android applications are usually written in Java, so building them requires having a Java Development Kit (JDK) installed. The current version of the Android tools require Java 8, which I downloaded from here, extracted and put on my PATH like so:
$ tar zxf jdk-8u112-linux-x64.tar.gz
$ export JAVA_HOME=${HOME}/jdk1.8.0_112
$ export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH
Android specific tools are provided in the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). Normally, this is installed when installing Android Studio, but we can also do it ourselves (see the "Get just the command line tools" section on the Android Studio download page):
$ curl -O https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz
$ tar zxf android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz
Unfortunately, that file doesn't contain everything we need, as explained in SDK Readme.txt:
The Android SDK archive initially contains only the basic SDK tools. It does
not contain an Android platform or any third-party libraries. In fact, it
doesn't even have all the tools you need to develop an application.
In order to start developing applications, you must install the Platform-tools
and at least one version of the Android platform, using the SDK Manager.
What we need is build-tools (for aapt, dx and apksigner), an Android Platform to target (I will use version 16) and platform-tools (for adb).
Instead of using the SDK Manager as suggested above, we can install those directly ourselves (the filenames were found in repository-11.xml):
$ curl -O https://dl.google.com/android/repository/build-tools_r25-linux.zip
$ unzip build-tools_r25-linux.zip
$ mkdir android-sdk-linux/build-tools
$ mv android-7.1.1 android-sdk-linux/build-tools/25.0.0
$ curl -O https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-16_r05.zip
$ unzip android-16_r05.zip
$ mv android-4.1.2 android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-16
$ curl -O https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r25-linux.zip
$ unzip platform-tools_r25-linux.zip -d android-sdk-linux/
The Hello World Program
Our Hello World program consists of three files: an application manifest, a layout and an Activity.
The app manifest is shown below (AndroidManifest.xml). It specifies the name of the app, which Android API it targets, etc. The intent-filter element sets up MainActivity as the main entry point of the program.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="net.hanshq.hello"
versionCode="1"
versionName="0.1">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16"/>
<application android:label="Hello">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>

Below is the layout file (res/layout/activity_main.xml). It defines UI elements to be used in our program.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/my_text"/>
</LinearLayout>
Finally, the Activity is implemented like this: (java/net/hanshq/hello/MainActivity.java)
package net.hanshq.hello;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.my_text);
text.setText("Hello, world!");
}
}
Building
We will use shell variables to more conveniently refer to the SDK we installed before. All build artifacts will be put in subdirectories of the build directory which we create here.
$ SDK="${HOME}/android-sdk-linux"
$ BUILD_TOOLS="${SDK}/build-tools/25.0.0"
$ PLATFORM="${SDK}/platforms/android-16"
$ mkdir -p build/gen build/obj build/apk
The first build step is to generate the R.java file, which is used for referring to resources (such as R.id.my_text above). This is done using the Android Asset Packaging Tool, aapt:
$ "${BUILD_TOOLS}/aapt" package -f -m -J build/gen/ -S res \
-M AndroidManifest.xml -I "${PLATFORM}/android.jar"
which creates build/gen/net/hanshq/hello/R.java.
The -f flag causes aapt to overwrite any existing output file, -m causes it to create package directories under the output directory, and -J makes it generate the R.java file and sets the output directory. -S points out the resource directory, -M specifies the manifest, and -I adds the platform .jar as an "include file".
Now that all the Java code is ready, we can compile it using javac:
$ javac -source 1.7 -target 1.7 -bootclasspath "${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/rt.jar" \
-classpath "${PLATFORM}/android.jar" -d build/obj \
build/gen/net/hanshq/hello/R.java java/net/hanshq/hello/MainActivity.java
(The 1.7 and -bootclasspath ure used to emit Java 7 byte code, which the Android tools expect, despite using JDK version 8.)
The Java compiler created .class files containing byte code for the Java Virtual Machine. That then has to be translated to Dalvik byte code using the dx tool:
$ "${BUILD_TOOLS}/dx" --dex --output=build/apk/classes.dex build/obj/
(There is a new set of Android tools, Jack and Jill, that compile Java code directly into Dalvik bytecode. Maybe that will become the way to do things in the future.)
We then package the contents of the build/apk/ directory together with the manifest and resources into an Android Application Package (APK) file, again using the aapt tool:
$ "${BUILD_TOOLS}/aapt" package -f -M AndroidManifest.xml -S res/ \
-I "${PLATFORM}/android.jar" \
-F build/Hello.unsigned.apk build/apk/
The application has now been built, but the APK file needs to be signed before any device will allow running it, even in debug mode, and zipaligned if we ever want to publish it in the Play Store.
First, we run the zipalign tool, which aligns uncompressed files in the APK on 4-byte boundaries for easier memory mapping:
$ "${BUILD_TOOLS}/zipalign" -f -p 4 \
build/Hello.unsigned.apk build/Hello.aligned.apk
Then we use the Java keytool to create a key store and key for signing:
$ keytool -genkeypair -keystore keystore.jks -alias androidkey \
-validity 10000 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 \
-storepass android -keypass android
What is your first and last name?
[Unknown]:
What is the name of your organizational unit?
[Unknown]:
What is the name of your organization?
[Unknown]:
What is the name of your City or Locality?
[Unknown]:
What is the name of your State or Province?
[Unknown]:
What is the two-letter country code for this unit?
[Unknown]:
Is CN=Unknown, OU=Unknown, O=Unknown, L=Unknown, ST=Unknown, C=Unknown correct?
[no]: yes
(you may want to put in more proper values of course.)
and use that key to sign our application with apksigner:
$ "${BUILD_TOOLS}/apksigner" sign --ks keystore.jks \
--ks-key-alias androidkey --ks-pass pass:android \
--key-pass pass:android --out build/Hello.apk \
build/Hello.aligned.apk
Et voilà, we have successfully built an Android application by hand from the command line! The diagram below illustrates the whole process.
(We skipped some common steps that aren't strictly necessary: linting and ProGuard.)
Running
We can install our freshly built APK on a device (which must have USB debugging enabled) using the Android Debug Bridge:
$ "${SDK}/platform-tools/adb" install -r build/Hello.apk
and run it, either by starting it manually from the Launcher, or with adb:
$ "${SDK}/platform-tools/adb" shell am start -n net.hanshq.hello/.MainActivity
Using Native Code
While Android applications are usually written in Java, they can also contain native code, that is, machine code to be run directly by the device's processor. This is useful for performance, as it removes the overhead from running Java code, and for portability, as it opens the platform to code written in other languages.
Adding native code to our program makes it a little harder to build, but it turns out not to be too bad.
The Android Native Development Kit (NDK) provides compilers and libraries for building C and C++ code for Android. It can be installed like this:
$ curl -O https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r13b-linux-x86_64.zip
$ unzip android-ndk-r13b-linux-x86_64.zip
$ NDK="${HOME}/android-ndk-r13b"
We set more shell variables to point at the specific toolchains we'll use: (if you're not using Linux, you'll want one of the other prebuilt directories)
$ ARM_TOOLCHAIN="${NDK}/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/"
$ ARM_TOOLCHAIN+="linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc"
$ X86_TOOLCHAIN="${NDK}/toolchains/x86-4.9/prebuilt/"
$ X86_TOOLCHAIN+="linux-x86_64/bin/i686-linux-android-gcc"
We will update our Activity to use the Java Native Interface (see also Android JNI Tips) for a new method, getMessage(), and use that method to set the text of the TextView. The native method will be implemented by a library called hello, which we load with System.loadLibrary in a static initializer block:
package net.hanshq.hello;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
static {
System.loadLibrary("hello");
}
public native String getMessage();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.my_text);
text.setText(getMessage());
}
}
The hello library must provide a native implementation of the getMessage method. To figure out what C function signature corresponds to the Java method, we use the javah tool:
$ javah -classpath "${PLATFORM}/android.jar:build/obj" \
-o /tmp/jni.h net.hanshq.hello.MainActivity
$ grep -A1 _getMessage /tmp/jni.h
JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_net_hanshq_hello_MainActivity_getMessage
(JNIEnv *, jobject);
We implement it like this, in hello.c:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <jni.h>
static const char *const messages[] = {
"Hello, world!",
"Hej världen!",
"Bonjour, monde!",
"Hallo Welt!"
};
JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL
Java_net_hanshq_hello_MainActivity_getMessage(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj)
{
int i;
i = rand() % (sizeof(messages) / sizeof(messages[0]));
return (*env)->NewStringUTF(env, messages[i]);
}
The C file is compiled into the shared library libhello.so (note the extra lib prefix). We build one for ARMv7 and one for X86, to support most devices and emulators, and put them under the APK's lib/ directory:
$ mkdir -p build/apk/lib/armeabi-v7a build/apk/lib/x86
$ "${ARM_TOOLCHAIN}" --sysroot="${NDK}/platforms/android-16/arch-arm" \
-march=armv7-a -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mfloat-abi=softfp -Wl,--fix-cortex-a8 \
-fPIC -shared -o build/apk/lib/armeabi-v7a/libhello.so jni/hello.c
$ "${X86_TOOLCHAIN}" --sysroot="${NDK}/platforms/android-16/arch-x86" \
-fPIC -shared -o build/apk/lib/x86/libhello.so jni/hello.c
(See the ABI Management doc for which ABIs can be targeted with the NDK, and under which lib/ directory to put the .so file. The ARM compiler flags were inspired by ${NDK}/build/core/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/setup.mk.)
To build the APK, we repeat the build steps from above (aapt all the way to apksigner). The contents of the APK can be inspected with the jar tool:
$ jar tf build/Hello.apk
AndroidManifest.xml
classes.dex
lib/armeabi-v7a/libhello.so
lib/x86/libhello.so
res/layout/activity_main.xml
resources.arsc
META-INF/ANDROIDK.SF
META-INF/ANDROIDK.RSA
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
The file should contain the manifest, the Java classes converted to DEX format, our two native .so files, Application resources in raw (activity_main.xml) and binary (resources.arsc) form. The META-INF directory contains the JAR file manifest and cryptographic signatures.
When run, the application looks like this:

16 Palghar doctors booked for ragging
by PTIAn offence has been registered against 16 doctors of a medical college here for allegedly ragging a student, the police said on Saturday.
A 23-year-old student of Dr. M.L. Dhawale Memorial Homoeopathic Institute in Palghar district alleged that she was ragged by a group of seniors while preparing for a college event on Thursday, an official from Palghar police said.
The police have registered an offence against 16 senior doctors under Section 4 of Prevention of Ragging Rules 1999, according to the public relations officer of Palghar police station Hemant Katkar.
No arrests have been made in the case so far and probe is under way, the official added.


Attorney General Barr plans visit to tout fugitive arrests
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr plans to promote a crime-fighting initiative Tuesday in New Mexico as the state struggles to curb some of the highest property and violent crimes rates in the nation.
Barr is joining U.S. Marshal Service Director Donald Washington and other federal authorities in Albuquerque to announce the arrests of 300 fugitives suspected of violent crimes, according to the Justice Department.
The arrests resulted from Operation Triple Beam, a program that has been conducted in numerous cities and led to hundreds of arrests, officials said. In the past year, authorities have touted arrests and guns seized under the program in Salina, California, Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, and Lawrence, Massachusetts.
In New Mexico, the arrests resulted from a three-month operation, officials said.
FBI figures from 2018, the most recent year available, show the state had the nation’s second highest violent crime rate and its highest property crime rate, despite Albuquerque reporting a slight decrease in both categories for the first time in years.
The shift for Albuquerque came as both violent and property crime declined nationwide for a second consecutive year.
For New Mexico, Albuquerque’s offenses accounted for more than half of the state’s crime overall.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham recently announced that a special state law enforcement unit would be responsible for finding fugitives. The unit’s seven state police officers and seven corrections officers are expected to help reduce the 1,600 bench warrants for people linked to violent crimes in New Mexico.
Bernalillo County Sheriff Manuel Gonzales said he welcomed the outside help in crime-fighting.
“I am grateful for all federal, state, and local law enforcement resources and support to combat Albuquerque’s crime crisis,” he said in a brief emailed statement.
It wasn’t immediately clear why Barr and Washington had chosen Albuquerque as a city to highlight Operation Triple Beam.
The U.S. Marshals Service serves as a lead agency in the operations throughout the country.

Growing up Jeff always loved stories. Whether it was books, movies, or TV, he saw that stories could open up your imagination and show you the world from someone else’s eyes. That is why he chose to attend USC for their unique Business of Cinematic Arts program: he believed stories could change the world.
However, working for three years in the entertainment industry, Jeff saw unique films he was passionate about beat out by formulaic superhero sequels. Realizing financiers, not creatives, control ideas he joined Bloomberg to learn about investing so he could one day use his knowledge to help groundbreaking projects find financing.
Jeff views crowdfunding as a way to do just that. He is pursuing a role in Product Management with the end goal of one day developing a platform that will change how capital flows through our economy. Jeff’s experiences at Bloomberg have furnished him with a deep knowledge of finance, passion for technology, and a confidence in his ability to lead change.

Susan Granger's review of "ELECTION" (Paramount Pictures)
The appeal of this intelligent, witty social and political satire should extend far beyond the teenage years. It's classified as a "high school flick" because virtually all the characters are students or teachers, but its sly intrigue should appeal to a sophisticated young adult audience. Set in Nebraska at George Washington Carver High, the story revolves around an aggressive and loathsome young woman, Reese Witherspoon, who is running, unopposed, for president of the student government. She's a cocky, irritating over-achiever with a sizable chip on her shoulder, cast in the mold of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.  Their rivalry becomes even more complicated when the jock's younger sister (Jessica Campbell), a sophomore, declares her candidacy, based on a promise to do nothing as student president but abolish the idiocy of student government. It's a platform that seems to have great appeal. Written by Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, and directed by Alexander Payne ("Citizen Ruth"), the theme is profound cynicism about today's democratic process in which someone must be ruthlessly ambitious, not to mention hypocritical, in order to win votes and attain public office. Add to that a disdain for the state of love, sex, and marriage in the '90s and you have a subversive, wickedly clever premise which is fully realized by the artful casting. Both Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick are completely believable in their parts, as are Chris Klein and Jessica Campbell. To me, this comedy rings with malevolent teenage truth. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Election" scores an audacious, acerbic 8. It's a winner.

Rapper accused of choking, biting woman in Atlanta
ATLANTA (AP) - A rapper is accused of choking and biting his girlfriend while in Atlanta.
News outlets report Osiris Williams, also known as YK Osiris, was arrested Monday on a felony charge of aggravated assault by strangulation. Fulton County police say the man is accused of attacking the woman at his 21st birthday party in September.
A police report says the woman confronted Williams about a photo of a towel-clad woman on his phone and he threatened to slap her. She told police Williams chased her up a flight of stairs and cornered her in a bathroom, where he then choked and bit her.
Jail records say the rapper was born in Jacksonville, Florida, but currently lives in Braselton, Georgia. He was recently featured on XXL Magazine’s list of up-and-coming rappers.

THE GREAT WHITE HYPE A film review by Michael John Legeros Copyright 1996 Michael John Legeros
(Fox) Directed by Reginald Hudlin Written by Tony Hendra and Ron Shelton Cast Samuel L. Jackson, Jeff Goldblum, Damon Wayans, Peter Berg, Jon Lovitz, Corbin Bernsen, Cheech Marin, John Rhys-Davies MPAA Rating "R" (presumably for language and sports violence) Running Time 85 minutes Reviewed at The Wynnsong 10, Durham, NC (3MAY96)
==
A big, busy boxing satire with a surprisingly paltry punch, THE GREAT WHITE HYPE stars Samuel L. Jackson as a shameless boxing promoter whose plan to boost sagging pay-per-view revenues is to "invent" a white contender (Peter Berg) to challenge his black heavyweight "champ" (Damon Wayans). (The logic is that people will pay more to see black vs. white than black vs. black.) He may be right, in an absurdly accurate way, but the film doesn't give us a reason to care. As a scathing sports spoof, HYPE is just that: unfunny, unfocused, and, at times, just plain pointless. As a commentary on race relations, it's even *less* effective.
The dialogue is the best of this mess, lines like Jon Lovitz exclaiming "I cannot make caviar out of fish eggs!" Writers Tony Hendra and Ron Shelton also do good on the street slang, though we never hear enough of it. The script isn't strong enough, though, to support the aggressive camera work of director Reginald Hudlin (HOUSE PARTY). He comes across as absolute overkill. THE GREAT WHITE HYPE *almost* turns around at the end, at the Big Match, when Hudlin attempts an extended gag of rock-concert proportions. With costumed dwarfs, gangsta rappers, and the "champ" dressed as Death, only then do we get a glimpse of the spoof that should've been.

This chapter explores using Karaoke files in MP3+G format. Files are pulled off a server to a (small) computer attached to a display device (my TV). Files are chosen using a Java Swing application running on Linux or Windows, or by an Android application.
Source files in this chapter are here .
In the chapter on User level Karaoke tools we discussed the MP3+G format for Karaoke. Each "song" consists of two files: an MP3 file for the audio and a low-quality CDG file for the video (mainly the lyrics). Often this pair of files are zipped together.
Files can be extracted from CDG Karaoke disks by using
cdrdao
and cdgrip.py
.
They can be played by vlc
when given the
MP3 file as argument - it wil pick up the CDG file from
the same directory.
Many people will have built up a sizeable collection of MP3+G songs. In this chapter we consider how to list and play them, along with keeping lists of favourite songs. The chapter just looks at a Java application to perform this, and is really just standard Swing and Android programming. There are no special audio or Karaoke features considered in this chapter.
I keep my files on a server. I can access them in many ways on the other computers in the house: SAMBA shares, HTTP downloads, SSH file system (sshfs), etc. Some mechanisms are less portable than others; for example sshfs is not a standard Windows application and SMB/SAMBA is not a standard Android client. So after getting everything working using sshfs (a no-brainer under standard Linux), I then converted the applications to HTTP access. This has its own wrinkles :-).
The environment looks like
The Java client application for Linux and Windows looks like
This shows the main window of songs and on its right the favourites window for two people, Jan and Linda. The application handles multiple languages - english, korean and chinese are shown.
Filters can be applied to the main song list. For example, filtering on the singer Sting gives
The Android application looks like XXX
When Play
is clicked, information about the selection
is sent to the media player - currently a CubieBoard2 connected
to my hifi/TV. The media computer fetches the files from
the HTTP server.
Files are played on the media computer using vlc
as it can
handle MP3+G files.
If MP3+G songs are ripped from CDG Karaoke disks, then a natural organisation would be to store the files in directories, each directory corresponding to one disk. More structure may be given by grouping the directories by common artist, or by style of music, etc. We just assume a directory structure with music files as leaf nodes. These files are kept on the HTTP server.
I currently have a large number of these files on my server.
Information about these needs to be supplied to the clients.
After a bit of experimentation a Vector
of SongInformation
is created and serialised
using Java's object serialisation methods. The serialised
file is also kept on the HTTP server. When a client
starts up, it gets this file from the HTTP server
and deserialises it.
Building this vector means walking the directory tree
on the HTTP server and recording information as it goes.
Java code to walk directory trees is fairly straightforward.
It is a little tedious if you want it to be O/S independent.
Java 1.7 introduced mechanisms to make this easier.
These belong to the New I/O (NIO) system. The first
class of importance is the
java.nio.file.Path
which "[is] an object that may be used to locate a
file in a file system.
It will typically represent a system dependent file path."
A string representing a file location in, say, a Linux
or a Windows file system can be turned into a Path
object by
Path startingDir = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(dirString);
Traversal of a file system from a given path
is done by walking a file tree, calling a node "visitor"
at each point. The visitor is a subclass of
SimpleFileVisitor<Path>
and for leaf nodes only you would override the
method
public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attr)The traversal is done by
Visitor pf = new Visitor(); Files.walkFileTree(startingDir, pf);
A full explanation of this is given in the Java Tutorials
on
Walking the File Tree
.
We use this to load all song information
from disk into a vector of song
paths in SongTable.java
.
The information about each song should include its path in the file system, the name of the artist(s), the title of the song and any other useful information. This information has to be pulled out of the the file path of the song. In my current setup, files look like
/server/KARAOKE/Sonken/SK-50154 - Crosby, Stills - Carry On.mp3
Each song has a reasonably unique identifier ("SK-50154"), a unique path and an artist and title. Reasonably straight-forward pattern matching code can extract these parts:
Path file = ... String fname = file.getFileName().toString(); if (fname.endsWith(".zip") || fname.endsWith(".mp3")) { String root = fname.substring(0, fname.length()-4); String parts[] = root.split(" - ", 3); if (parts.length != 3) return; String index = parts[0]; String artist = parts[1]; String title = parts[2]; SongInformation info = new SongInformation(file, index, title, artist);
(The patterns produced by cdrip.py
are not quite the same, but the code is easily changed.)
The SongInformation
class captures this
information and also includes methods for pattern matching
of a string against the various fields. For example,
to check if a title matches,
public boolean titleMatch(String pattern) { return title.matches("(?i).*" + pattern + ".*"); }
This gives a case-independent match using Java regular expression support. See Java Regex Tutorial by Lars Vogel for more details.
The complete SongInformation
file is
The SongTable
builds up a vector of
SongInformation
objects by traversing the file
tree.
If there are many songs (say, in the thousands)
this can lead to a slow startup time. To reduce this,
once a table is loaded, it is saved to disk as a persistent
object by writing it to an ObjectOutputStream
.
The next time the program is started, an attempt is made to
read it back from this using an ObjectInputStream
.
Note that we do not use the
Java Persistence API
-
designed for J2EE, it is too heavyweight for our purpose here.
The SongTable
also includes code to build
smaller song tables based on matches between patterns
and the title (or artist or number). It can search
for matches between a pattern and a song and build a new
table based on the matches. It contains a pointer to
the original table for restoration later.
This allows searches for patterns to use the same
data structure.
The code for SongTable
is
I've built this system for my home environment where I have a regular group of friends visiting. We each have our favourite songs to sing and so we have made up lists on scraps of paper which get lost, have wine spilt on them, etc. So this system includes favourite lists of songs.
Each favourites list is essentially just another
SongTable
. But I have put a JList
around the table to display it. The JList
uses a DefaultListModel
, and
the constructor loads a song table into this list
by iterating through the table and adding elements
int n = 0; java.util.Iterator<SongInformation> iter = favouriteSongs.iterator(); while(iter.hasNext()) { model.add(n++, iter.next()); }
Other Swing code adds three buttons along the bottom:
Adding a song to the list means taking the selected item
from the main song table and adding it to this table.
The main table is passed into the constructor and just
kept for the purpose of getting its selection. The
selected object is added to both the Swing JList
and to the favourites SongTable
.
"Playing a song" is done in a simple way: the full path to the song is written to standard output, newline terminated. Another program in a pipeline can then pick this up - see later.
Favourites aren't much good if they don't persist from one day to the next! So the same object storage method as before is used as with the full song table. Each favourites file is saved on each change. There are some Linux/Unix dependencies here, in that application information is stored in a subdirectory beginning with a "." in the user's home directory.
The code for Favourites
is
There's nothing special here. It just loads the tables for
each person and builds a Favourites
object
which it places in a JTabbedPane
.
It also adds in a "NEW" tab to add additional users.
The code for AllFavourites
is
This is mainly code to get the different song tables loaded
and to buld the Swing interface. It also filters the
showing table based on patterns matched.
The originally loaded table is kept for restoration and
patching matching.
The code for SongTableSwing
is
Whenever a song is "played" its file path is written to standard output. This makes it suitable for use in a pipeline such as
VLC_OPTS="--play-and-exit --fullscreen" java SongTableSwing | while read line do if expr match "$line" ".*mp3" then vlc $VLC_OPTS "$line" elif expr match "$line" ".*zip" then rm -f /tmp/karaoke/* unzip -d /tmp/karaoke "$line" vlc $VLC_OPTS /tmp/karaoke/*.mp3 fi done
VLC is an immensely flexible media player. It relies on a large set of plugins to enhance its basic core functionality. We saw in an earlier chapter that if a directory contains both an MP3 and a CDG file with the same basename then by asking it to play the MP3 file it will also show the CDG video.
Common expectations of Karaoke players are that you can adjust the speed and pitch. Currently VLC cannot adjust pitch, but it does have a plugin to adjust speed (while keeping the pitch unchanged). This plugin can be accessed by the Lua interface to VLC. Once set up, you can send commands such as
rate 1.04
across standard input from the process that started VLC (such as a command line shell). This will change the speed and leave the pitch unchanged.
Setting up VLC to accept Lua commands from stdin can be done by the command options
vlc -I luaintf --lua-intf cli ...
Note that this takes away the standard GUI controls (menus, etc) and controls VLC from stdin only.
At present, it is not simple to add pitch control to VLC. Take a deep breath:
jack-rack
and install the TAP_pitch
filter
qjackctl
hook VLC to output through
jack-rack
, which outputs to system
jack-rack
GUI
I actually want to play songs from my server disk to a Raspberry Pi or CubieBoard connected to my TV, and control the play from a netbook sitting on my lap. (Later I will try to get Android code running to do the same.). This is a distributed system.
Mounting server files on a computer is simple: you can use
NFS, Samba, ... I am currently using sshfs
as in
sshfs -o idmap=user -o rw -o allow_other newmarch@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/httpd/html /server
For remote access/control I replace the run
command
of the last section by a TCP client/server. On the client,
controlling the player, I have
java SongTableSwing | client <IP_ADDRESS>
while on the (Raspberry Pi/CubieBoard) server I run
#!/bin/bash set -x VLC_OPTS="--play-and-exit -f" server | while read line do if expr match "$line" ".*mp3" then vlc $VLC_OPTS "$line" elif expr match "$line" ".*zip" then rm -f /tmp/karaoke/* unzip -d /tmp/karaoke "$line" vlc $VLC_OPTS /tmp/karaoke/*.mp3 fi done
The client/server files are just standard TCP files.
The client reads a newline-terminated string
from standard input and writes it to the
server, and the server prints the same line to standard output.
Here is client.c
:
and here is server.c
This chapter has built a player for MP3+G files.


Most of the questions I have been asking during phase 0 have been during guided and peer pairing sessions. The questions I have posted to the community have for the most part been simple, straightforward, and easy to answer, so there isn't too much to say about those. What I will say, is that while these were generally easy questions and I just was missing something, they actually were good questions because they were straightforward.
I think the key to asking a good quesiton is to make it to the point. Questions need to have a focus, and while they can be broad, you don't want to ask several vague things in one single question. Using the strategy of looking at your question and approaching it as if you were trying to answer it should help here. It is difficult to approach several different subjects/thoughts in one go, so focus and direct your question so that it can be understood, and answered concisely.
I would say after looking at the stack overflow guidelines I will definitely think to make my title as sucinct as possible. This is probably more so that people won't pass by your question for being too big, but definitely makes the question approachable and simple to understand, similar to how essays have a thesis. Also, I will be sure to include snippets of my code when appropriate, as including some context can be very useful for the person looking to help.

Volunteer
The volunteer penguin wardens patrol critical areas nightly from the beginning of the season when the first penguins are noted to have come back in to their burrows. Temporary signage and barriers have been erected by volunteers in an effort to protect the birds whilst they are nesting and prevent unleashed dogs and public from getting too close to the birds or disturbing their nests. Manly Council recently installed permanent steel gates and adequate signage.
We are always on the lookout for Penguin Wardens. Receive training and become accredited with NPWS, make new friends and help save Manly’s Little Penguins. It's fun exciting and helps the environment. For more information email us at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>alternatively come down and visit us at the Manly Environment Centre.

I like mushrooms. A lot. The reason being every trip is like a gift, its always different. I learn something new everytime, usually about me but sometimes about a friend or a place. In early June some friends of mine, L and his girlfriend A, along with Junebug, moved into prospect park, a kind of post-grad student haven, lots of gardens and a park or two. And a very low hater presence. As a sort of house warming we decided to bite some fungus along with Junebugís girl M.
Some brief history; L and Junebug have been friends since kindergarten, Junebug and I since third grade. l and I met in 11th grade. Now A is what we call high maintainence and is too controlling to get along very well with hallucinagens. Wisely she chose to opt out of the trip. Okay? okay. Now, about three blocks from the house is a building known as the witches tower. So called because the roof of the tower looks like a pointed witches hat, clever right? It stands on a hill over looking a river and offers an awesome view of the Downtown Minneapolis skyline. we rolled some blunts, munched our mushies (2g), and marched to the tower, all but A, just before sunset.
T+ 00:30
As we arrived some cigarettes were had and we noticed a few paths leading down the hill and into a dense forest. Do some exploring, and what we found! A ways down the path the forest opened into a huge canopy with rocks and tress and hills and green and fun at every turn. We started to trip. It was a playful running and laughing thing. we ventured back to the top to watch the sun set over the skyline, I was the first up and I noticed that the normally white tower was now a vibrant but suttle pink. my mind still somewhat intact at the time wondered if it was a reflection of the sky but that was a burning orange. I stared for a few moments before realizing a family of picnicers staring at me, I joined my journymen around the corner on a bench. for a time we sat and spoke loudly about how we liked it better in the forest and how the rigid stucture of society was crushing us and everyone else. The seeds of escapism took root.
T+ 1:00
Taking note of our condition and topic of conversation we decided it was time to make haste away from the park with twilight taking hold. As we walked back to the house L was in his own little world M and I had sobered a bit as walking tends to do but Junebug was zoomin. He tried to describe his trip for me, what I got out of it was that for him, the world was a series of grids and diagrams, similar to blueprints and akin to the code in the Matrix movies. He would drift in and out of the grid dimension but every time he would start to speak a grid would form and intersept his sentence, making it part of the code. Now at some point L split a pole, we begged him not to but he did, almost snikering about it. Directly there after he went to see A and M, Junebug and I went on walking to a park at the end of the block.
T+ 1:30
We got to the park and decided it was time to smoke a few blunts. At this point a started to really zoom so time after having arrived at the park became incalculable. The three of use sat for a long time just smoking and talking, mostly about leaving society to while a way the says on some beach just smiling. The conversation was so liquid and easy it was like come up of ecstacy, I was totally blissed out.
T+ ?
After a few years we left the park and returned to the house. L and I decided to eat another gram.  Junebug was noticably tweeked and on ocassion would interupt complete silence to ask 'What are we even talking about?' I was a little worried about him but heís well versed in the hallucinegens he can take care of him self. I didn't say anything because I donít worry about me until someone else does. He would later tell me that he couldnít seperate the TV and reality. He also told me that he was reading our thoughts, and with out me telling him prior, said that I thought he was fine but wasn't sure and that I didn't want to say anything, he told me that L was all out concerned. A fact L reported to me that night.
Now outside, I sat in the front yard, it was thick with small plants about the ankle I sat forever and tripped. Hard. Iíll spare the details but generally I need to be looking at something to really get visual, this time however the air was latent with texture, bubbles and beautiful women, all sorts of patterns just in the air. Junebug got a little better then a little worse and then M put him to bed. The three left started to watch terminater 2, but it got to me, the apocolyps scene. So I went to rest a bit.
This is when things got bad, I started seeing things I didnít want to see and threw up some. Junebug fell down and caused some confusion, but L, L lost it, he fell and his nose started to bleed, he was convinced he had mushroom poisoning and began to shout and yell. It was time for me to go, far to many bad vibes in the house, I assured L he would be fine and drove home still lightly tripping.
Some things to keep in mind about L, he and I have always walked a line between friend and foe. He is the darker half of our balance, we believe the same things but in radically different ways. That night as I mentioned L split a pole, very bad hoodoo in our circle, he was walking always ahead or behind never with us. When we were watching the movies he and A sat very close and a dark aura settled over them his look turned sinister which it has a tendency of doing, but this time a caught him mugging Junebug on more than one occasion. L displayed his loyalty that night.
Only a couple of weeks later Junebug broke some ribs and couldnít move much. Up in his room he had a cigarette, L and A kicked him out, it was a first offense in a no cigarrete house. L and A in the following days asked me to pick sides in a few more sly words. A friend wouldn't ask me to pick sides, I picked the friends that didn't. I haven't spoken to L or A in a long while. Me and Junebug still do drugs.

I grew up in Washington state and moved to Bend, Oregon in 2001. I love all things digital, and I am passionate about programming and becoming a developer. I am an avid hiker, camper, gamer, and programmer. I recently moved to Portland, Oregon where I am enrolled at Epicodus to increase my skillset in web development.
Prior to taking the C# / React course at Epicodus, I worked as an Application Support Specialist at G5, a tech company in Bend that specializes in digital marketing. As an Application Support Specialist, I recreated, documented, and escalated technical issues impacting G5 applications to the engineering team. I also assisted with coding bug fixes and features for G5 applications, helped execute test plans during application deployments, and assisted with deploying and monitoring G5 applications.
While working at G5, I took classes through Central Oregon Community College and Oregon State University where I received an Associate of Computer Science degree. In my spare time, I enjoy creating web apps and coding tools to help with day-to-day activities.


The soldiers and even civilians are now in much better spirits, believing in their hearts that they will be saved. But you know that now, without proper fortifications, there will be no way to stop the Mongols without a miracle.
The next day you wake up to see the Mongols ready to attack again. You prepare your troops for battle, each one believing that they will win except you. As the Mongols land, the sky turns dark and huge clouds begin to roll in. A light rain begins to fall as your soldiers bravely fight and with growing confidence and strength in the air they push back the Mongols to their ships. But while the Mongols are regrouping, a massive storm the likes of which you have never seen comes roaring in. You soldiers start to cheer in celebration, but you are still fear the worst. Then you see that the storm is pushing the Mongol fleets out into the ocean, and on the decks the soldiers are struggling to control the motley ships. As the Mongol fleets disappear into the wind and rain, you join in the celebration.
A few years later, you receive a letter from the Kublai Khan himself. In the letter, the Khan recognizes you as the supreme leader of Japan, and says that he will not risk any more men attempting to conquer your islands.
You have beaten the Mongols once and for all, and Japan will not be threatened with a military invasion for hundreds of years to come.
