K3s Raspberry pi
For a while now I was after getting my own self hosted Kubernetes cluster, and with the Raspberry Pi it is now possible. This is a note to self in case I will have to replicate What you need (Must Haves)
- Raspberry PI (2/3). Minimum of 2 (1 master and 1 worker)
- Power Cable (Micro USB, same as the old android chargers)
- Ethernet Cable (Can be done with wireless, but ethernet cable makes it easier)
- Micro SD Card (Minimum of 8gb)
What you want (Nice to have)
- Raspberry PI 3 Model b+. 4 (1 master and 5 worker)
- Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
- Short (1 ft) ethernet cable
- Short (1 ft) Power cable
- Multiport USB Charging HUB. (I used a 10 port anker hub)
- Cluster Case (Keeps everything nice and clean)
- Micro SD Card (32gb each)
Software Requirement
- Etcher
- Raspbian Buster Lite
-
You should see something similar. Go to Network Options > Hostname. And change the hostname to anything you want. I named mine k8s-master-1, k8s-node-1, k8s-node-2 and k8s-node-3.
-
Once you are done with that, you should set up Localization Options. Although it is optional for our use-case. It is just good practice. Also without it you won’t be able to enable wifi.
-
Once done the pi will reboot.
-
ssh in again. We will give our device a static ip so it keeps the ip between reboots.
cat » /etc/dhcpcd.conf
Find your device IP. It will be in the form of x.x.x.x. You can find your device ip (on a mac) using ifconfig | grep inet . My mac ip was <IP_ADDRESS> so my ip format is like 192.168.0.x .
Paste the following code block
interface eth0 static ip_address=x.x.x.y/24 static routers=x.x.x.1 static domain_name_servers=<IP_ADDRESS>
Where x.x.x is same as your device ip and y is the ip you want. I put 100 for master and 101,102 and 103 for the rest. Reboot with sudo reboot
When the devices turn on they should reflect the new ips.
This concludes the initial setup. Next we do the general device setup. Common Setup
Now we need to setup all the RPi’s to make them ready to act as a Kubernetes node.
Installing docker:
curl -sSL get.docker.com | sh && \
sudo usermod pi -aG docker && \
newgrp docker
Disabling swap. Kubernetes requires swap to be disabled. Please note on Raspbian Buster you have to uninstall dphys.
sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff && \
sudo dphys-swapfile uninstall && \
sudo update-rc.d dphys-swapfile remove && \
sudo apt purge dphys-swapfile
We can check swap disable was a success by the following command returning empty
sudo swapon --summary
- Next we edit the /boot/cmdline.txt file. And append the following in the end of the file. This needs to be in the same line as all the other text in the file. Do not create a new file.
cgroup_enable=cpuset cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memory
-
Reboot with sudo reboot
-
SSH in again. Here we start deploying K3s with the Rancher image.
-
On the master and all the workers run the following command
sudo sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1
Reasoning for this is explained better in this issue Worker Node Setup
From each worker node run
sudo kubeadm join –token :6443 –discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:
- After a few moment, run
kubectl get nodes
and you should see something like
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
master Ready master 84d v1.17.2+k3s1
worker6 Ready <none> 84d v1.17.2+k3s1
worker2 Ready <none> 84d v1.17.2+k3s1
worker1 Ready <none> 84d v1.17.2+k3s1
worker3 Ready <none> 84d v1.17.2+k3s1
worker5 Ready <none> 84d v1.17.2+k3s1
worker7 Ready <none> 84d v1.17.2+k3s1
worker4 Ready <none> 84d v1.17.2+k3s1
And with this the cluster setup is done. Additional Steps
We can access our cluster now, which is awesome. But we can only do it while sshed in the master node. We should change that.
We can copy the config from the master to our local machine. Use scp . More info on this on this article.
scp pi@x.x.x.100:.kube/config .
Running the command from you local directory will copy the config file in that directory from master-node.
If you have kubectl installed in you local machine, you can then setup kubeconfig by either overriding the config file in $HOME/.kube/config or you can add the file on top of the existing config (if you have it) by
export KUBECONFIG=:$HOME/.kube/config
This way you can keep you kubeconfig and switch to rpi cluster config when needed. You can also look into adding the config in the file instead of overriding it. More info here.
This is a pretty decent cluster that one can use for learning purposes. With some volume mounted you can do some pretty cool stuff. I will try out some stuff in the upcoming days. Will also try to get the dashboard running.

User data
User data APIs typically require user authentication (not always) and provide you with information about the user, or a group of users.
Examples:
- Social networks: list of a user's Facebook friends
- Multimedia: music, videos, or photos uploaded by a user
- Documents: files saved or shared by a user


Proportion: drawing a spiral using line segments
"Segments" are parts of lines, parametrically defined. "Arcs" are parts of circles. This construction uses arcs to draw a spiral.


Volunteer API
Technologies: Node, Express, JWT, Firebase
Overview:
A basic sample set of API's to perform CRUD on a generic "Volunteer"
collection in a Firebase, Firestore database. These API's are
protected using a JWT returned to the client upon successful login.
All subsequent API requests require a valid, non-expired JWT to be
included in the header.
This is essentially the beginnings of a small mockup of a larger
project I am considering building that will most likely be fronted by
React native or be an exclusive to iOS built with Swift.
API List:
- GET: /api/v1/volunteers
- GET: /api/v1/volunteer
- PUT: /api/v1/volunteer
- POST: /api/v1/volunteer
- DELETE /api/v1/volunteer


CreatePopupMenu()
Syntax
Result = CreatePopupMenu(#Menu)Description
Creates a new empty popup menu.
Parameters
#Menu A number to identify the new menu. #PB_Any can be used to auto-generate this number.
Return value
Nonzero if the menu was successfully created, zero otherwise. If #PB_Any was used for the #Menu parameter then the generated number is returned on success.
Remarks
To create a popup menu with support for images, use CreatePopupImageMenu().
Once created, this menu becomes the current menu for further item additions. It's now possible to use functions such as MenuTitle(), MenuItem(), MenuBar(), OpenSubMenu() to populate the menu.
DisplayPopupMenu() can be used to display this popup menu at any position on the screen.
To handle menu events properly, see the description of following functions:
WaitWindowEvent() (alternatively WindowEvent())
EventWindow()
EventMenu()
Example
If OpenWindow(0, 200, 200, 200, 120, "Popup-Menu Example") If CreatePopupMenu(0) ; creation of the pop-up menu begins... MenuItem(1, "Open") ; You can use all commands for creating a menu MenuItem(2, "Save") ; just like in a normal menu... MenuItem(3, "Save as") MenuItem(4, "Quit") MenuBar() OpenSubMenu("Recent files") MenuItem(5, "PureBasic.exe") MenuItem(6, "Test.txt") CloseSubMenu() EndIf Repeat Event = WaitWindowEvent() ; check for window events Select Event Case #PB_Event_RightClick ; right mouse button was clicked => DisplayPopupMenu(0, WindowID(0)) ; now display the popup-menu Case #PB_Event_Menu ; an item of the popup-menu was clicked Select EventMenu() ; get the clicked menu item... Case 1 : Debug "Menu: Open" Case 2 : Debug "Menu: Save" Case 3 : Debug "Menu: Save as" Case 4 : End Case 5 : Debug "Menu: PureBasic.exe" Case 6 : Debug "Menu: Text.txt" EndSelect EndSelect Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow EndIf

I bet you thought you'd never utter "oxtail" and "marmalade" in the same breath. It is a sweet dish, sweetened with brown sugar and rich with red wine and red wine vinegar. There is something distinctly jam-like, I'll admit, about spreading the oxtail on toast. \n

Although OpenSeadragon provides default buttons which are overlayed on the Viewport, there are many use cases where the presentation may require a more traditional 'toolbar'. OpenSeadragon now allows you to very simply dock your controls inside any element on the page which the end user has presentation control over.
Most importantly the toolbar has additional logic which supports transitions between fullpage and normal mode. The user can style, including hiding, the toolbar in fullpage mode, even though its not otherwise related to the viewer / viewport DOM.


Artificial Intelligence won't be the era of war, but be the era of deep compassion & non-violence.
What founds here
Here You can find the best information and knowledge in about artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), internet of things (IoT), and smart data. We share our personal experience skills of these technologies.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence
Technologies
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned with building smart machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence.Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed.
The definition of big data is data that contains greater variety, arriving in increasing volumes and with more velocity. This is also known as the three Vs. Smart data is data from which signals and patterns have been extracted by intelligent algorithms.
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a system of interrelated, internet-connected objects that are able to collect and transfer data over a wireless network without human intervention.A ‘thing’ can refer to a connected medical device, a biochip transponder (think livestock), a solar panel, a connected automobile with sensors that alert the driver to a myriad of possible issues (fuel, tire pressure, needed maintenance, and more) or any object, outfitted with sensors, that has the ability to gather and transfer data over a network.
Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital images, videos and other visual inputs — and take actions or make recommendations based on that information. If AI enables computers to think, computer vision enables them to see, observe and understand.
Natural language processing is a subfield of linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence concerned with the interactions between computers and human language, in particular how to program computers to process and analyze large amounts of natural language data.


Below is a collection of my published and working papers.
Taxing the Dead: an analysis of intergenerational transfers and levies
The contribution of this paper is to extend the model created in Cooke (2017) to achieve a greater degree of policy relevance. It includes several mechanisms to increase the richness of the model and allow for policy experiments and prescriptions. Specifically, allowing for intergenerational educational investment, accidental fertility, and a comprehensive tax regime. It also incorporates an empirical exploration of the effect of bequests on life-cycle savings using the Survey of Consumer Finances.
Houses Divided: a model of intergenerational transfers,
differential fertility and wealth inequality
Increasing income and wealth disparity in the United States has prompted a renewed
focus on the mechanism of inequality. A major puzzle of this phenomenon is that
wealth inequality is more pronounced than income inequality. This paper contributes
to the literature by studying the impact on wealth inequality from savings, bequests,
and fertility differences between the rich and the poor. We find that bequests have a
significant impact on wealth inequality and the fertility difference between the rich
and the poor amplifies the impact of bequests. In addition, we find that life-cycle saving
and anticipated bequests interact with each other, and this interaction is important
for fully understanding wealth inequality in the United States.
Those Who Can: Occupational Sorting and Recession
The central question of this paper is what effect an increase in risk in the private labor market has on
the public labor market. This paper’s hypothesis is that in times of economic distress and recession, the
expected quality of individuals who are hired in low risk occupations increases. Using data from the
American Community Survey, North Carolina Education Data Research Center and The National Bureau
of Economic Research, I find recession-caused migration into the public education profession, document
sorting on an observable measurement of teacher ability and find that recession hired teachers have higher

Killing for Profit: a model of intrastate conflict
There is no doubt that high levels of intrastate conflict are devastating for an economy. A clearer
understanding of what attributes affect the level of violence that economies and societies endure could
be a critical turning point in attempting to defuse future conflicts before they happen. Police actions,
terror campaigns, ethnic cleansing, and civil war between opposed conflict groups leads to lives lost,
increased medical costs, infrastructure destroyed, technological regression, lowered confidence, drops in
foreign investment, population displacement, and permanent damage to individual quality of life. The
main question this paper attempts to answer is: would rational actors engage in violent behavior, and if
so, why? At the core of this approach to conflict is the understanding that violence happens or does not
happen as a result of two opposing forces. First is the additional economic power that a conflict group can
obtain through violence, through control of critical resources and governmental apparatus. Second is the
asset destruction caused by intrastate violence.
Not All Micro-Loans Were Created Equal:The Effect of Supply Chain Location on Micro-Lending
The positive effects of micro-loans on the impoverished has become veritable gospel to economic development professionals. Pioneered by Muhammed Yunus in the 1970s, the concept of making small loans to groups of poor entrepreneurs has become a mainstream tool of development and poverty reduction agents around the globe. However, little research has been done at this time into the microeconomic mechanics of small scale finance, especially the different outcomes of the loan depending on what sector of the economy the debtor is engaged in. A simulation designed to pursue further understanding of this subject, and conducted in partnership with Opportunity International, a micro-finance NGO, and the Westmont Investment Club, reveals whether different outcomes of a micro-loan were caused by a debtor's location in the production chain.

{% extends 'base.html' %} {% block title %}EPSG.io: Coordinate Systems Worldwide{% endblock %} {% block body %}
{% endblock %} {% block content %}Klokan Technologies GmbH, Switzerland (www.klokantech.com/) is pleased to announce a new open-source web service with a database of coordinates systems used in maps worldwide.
EPSG.io (http://epsg.io/) simplifies discovery of coordinate reference systems utilized all over the world for creating maps and geodata and for identifying geo-position. It is a practical tool for anybody interested in cartography and digital map making, who needs to know exact latitude and longitude values for numerical coordinates in different spatial reference systems. Included map application allows to show the precise location anywhere on the planet also visually.
The website comes with a fulltext search indexing over 6000 coordinate systems. The search starts by typing the name of the system, name of covered country, state or any of the combinations of these. Searching for EPSG and ESRI codes is supported as well.
Each coordinates system and transformation has a short permanent link and is exportable in various formats (WKT, XML, OGC GML, Proj.4, JavaScript, SQL).
The web has also API allowing integration of the search functionality and transformations in third party applications.
Soon this functionality will be used the by the MapTiler (http://www.maptiler.com) to simplify the transformation or existing raster geodata and images into Google Maps and OGC WMTS compatible tiles. MapTiler is the easiest way how to prepare custom maps for mobile devices and web presentation.
Georeferencer (http://www.klokantech.com/georeferencer/), the online service for turning scanned maps into geodata in a web browser, will soon utilize EPSG.io service as well - allowing a user-friendly selection of any coordinate system and map projection during the georeferencing process.
The EPSG.io website is built around the official EPSG database maintained by OGP Geomatics Committee (http://www.epsg.org/). The database comprises of very detailed geodetic parameters from a range of sources and authorities. EPSG.io simplifies access to exact parameters for thousands of spatial reference systems, transformations and conversions, datums, ellipsoids, meridians, units, etc.
The whole project is open-source - with complete source code available on GitHub: https://github.com/klokantech/epsg.io Contribution from the online community is very welcome. New features, fixes of bugs and additional functionality can be easily developed by anybody who is interested in improvement of the system.
The web supports OpenSearch protocol. In Chrome web browser it is possible to type into address bar "epsg.io" then
The initial version of this open-source project has been developed by the Moravian Library in Brno, Czech Republic (http://www.mzk.cz/) thanks to support from the Programme of Applied Research and Development of the National and Cultural Identity (NAKI) from the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, project No. DF11P01OVV003 - TEMAP - Technology for access to Czech map collections: methodology and software for protection and re-use of national cartographic heritage (http://www.temap.cz/en/).
It is much easier to find the coordinate systems (for example query "utm wgs norway" gives list of all UTM zones with WGS covering area of Norway). All available transformations for selected coordinate reference system are visible and applicable (it is possible to find alternative 7 parameter transformation for Proj4js replacing a default grid transformation, or choose a transformation with higher accuracy for a selected area). Preview location for any numerical coordinates on a detailed map - with copy&paste functionality. Complete EPSG database with codes for datums, units, transformations, etc is indexed and searchable, and the individual EPSG records are linked from every detail page.

Basics of SVG and CSS
can you find a more frustrating combination??
Scope:
I am going to assume you are a web developer who is interested in being able to embed
svg's into your website, and while your at it, add some CSS styling to your svg. There is a ton of info out there,
and this blog is not an attempt at adding to that info. This blog is to help a beginner get an overall understanding, and
hopefully be able to avoid a few pitfalls.The following are some useful facts.
Good to know:
- There are 2 ways to bring in an SVG. The simple basic way looks like this:
-

- The other way, although a little more involved, allows for CSS manipulation. You embed the actual svg code into your html. You do this by opening your
svg in a text editor, copying the code, and pasting it into you html. It will look something like this:

<svg> *** </svg>

- If you inline style an SVG, you cannot apply any CSS rules to it.
- There are special rules, 'stroke' and 'fill' that are used to style only svg elements


Industry Insider: LX Music Founder Tiago Nabais
Learn about throwing a festival in the winter, the magic of Lisbon and how to best become a promoter.
by Ryan MiddletonPortugal is having a moment. Tourism is booming as people come to take in beautiful seaside cities, great weather and a rich and diverse history. Festivals have been popping up in the country to meet the demand of people looking for events in new places with great weather. LX Music is a dance events promotion company in Lisbon and has seen this rapid change over the past 15 years. For our latest Industry Insider we chat with company founder Tiago Nabais to learn a lot more about the change in Portugal.
We talk about how tourism has changed Lisbon, LX Music's drive to host more environmentally friendly events and how to navigate high booking fees. LX is throwing their new festival LXM Festival this upcoming weekend at Parque Das Nações -- yes outdoors in December. Get your tickets to the event with some of the biggest names in house and techno.
How have you seen your business evolve with the tourism boom in Portugal over the past few years?
Well tourism has increased a lot in the last couple of years in Portugal and specially in our beautiful city - Lisbon. It has had an impact in all major economical sectors. The electronic music industry has been affected as well, as we are getting more and more party goers from every single region of the world.
What is the biggest change you have seen in the business since you first started promoting shows?
Apart of the normal economical and societal evolution we are facing in Portugal, the major change was the introduction of social media to the game. It had made a huge impact in the way we communicate with our fans, as well as the way we promote our events.
What is one tip a new promoter should know before getting into the business?
Know your audience very well and take extra care of the people who follow your brand. Every single detail counts, the key is to deliver quality events, not only on the artistic side but the experience as a whole — nowadays it's very important to provide a quality overall experience.
Do you think some artist’s fees are too high and how do you work with those fees?
Well that’s another difficult part of the industry — a lot of artists are booming and it’s very difficult for us in Portugal to keep up with the huge fees that some artists are asking us, so sometimes it’s a matter of weighing the risk.

Mostly we wanted a different date to do our debut festival — December is a really nice time of the year to party here :)
What are you doing to make your festival and events carbon neutral?
We are currently working on a new project related to environmental awareness to be launched in 2020, as this is major issue for us. Because of our reach, we feel we can make an impact, to raise awareness and encourage environmental consciousness.
How did you pick your lineup for the festival?
We tried to pick the artists that our fans request, in addition we tried to bring some acts that are unusual to see in Portugal or Lisbon. So mostly we wanted to bring artists that never played at our events and bring them to our audience so they have the opportunity to experience great world class acts.
How does gender equality play into your booking decisions?
We are conscious of trying to further balance our line-ups, and give a platform to more marginalized genders and identities.
How did you get into the business?
Well all of the closest members of LX Music started in their early ages as a DJs (that still continue as DJs), then naturally came the need of bringing good parties to our city in an era where they weren’t so often as they are today.
What qualities and qualifications do you look for in potential employees?
In the business aspect we tend to value the capacity of problem solvers — in a different sense we search for people who are impassioned about their work and that bring good vibes to the team :)
What is something people should do in Lisbon to make a full trip around your festival?
Lisbon is full of surprises and beautiful places, so it’s hard to say one or two place you should go. We strongly recommend the old Lisbon area near the river Tagus, all of the historical part of the city, as well as Sintra with the beautiful landscapes and castles. Mostly Lisbon is a place to discover and be discovered.


int6klist(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit int6klist(1) NAME int6klist - List Atheros Device Addresses SYNOPSIS int6klist [options] [device] [device] [...] DESCRIPTION print the local device address or all network device addresses for a specific device. This program is ideal for that special script jokey in your life. It only prints device addresses. Nothing else. Devices are detected using one of two methods. The two methods can be used in combination to determine network topology. The first method sends one VS_SW_VER message to the Qualcomm Atheros Local Management Address and prints the Ethernet source address found in each received confirmation message. The method is used when no device addresses appear on the command line. The result is a list of all local devices, being this connected directly to the local host. Each local device device may bridge to an independent powerline network having remote devices as members. The second method sends one VS_NW_INFO message to each specified device and prints the Ethernet source address found in each received message plus the Ethernet addresses of each network station identified in that message body. This method is used whenever one, or more, device addresses appear on the command line. It is possible to query remote powerline devices directly and so duplicate devices addresses are printed when devices share powerline neighbors. This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the plc man page for an overview and installation instructions. OPTIONS -b Print bridge device addresses. Each specified device reports it’s own address. This option has no effect if no devices are specified. -i Select the host Ethernet interface. All requests are sent via this host interface and only reponses received via this host interface are recognized. The default interface is eth1 because most people use eth0 as their principle network connection; however, if environment string "PLC" is defined then it takes precedence over the default interface. This option then takes precedence over either default. -n Append a newline to output. -q Enter quiet mode. This option has no effect at this time. -r Print remote device addresses. Each specified device reports neighbor device addresses. This option has no effect when no devices are speceified. -s Insert a newline, instead of a space, between each device address. -v Enter verbose mode. All Etherenet frames sent or received by the program are displayed on stdout. -?, --help Print program help summary on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line. -!, --version Print program version information on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line. Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of the Linux Toolkit you are using. ARGUMENTS device The MAC address of some powerline device. More than one address may be specified. If omitted the the program out‐ put consists of local device addresses only. Otherwise, output conisists of the specified device followed by all devices associated with it. The default address is local. See DEVICES for information about symbolic device addresses. DEVICES Powerline devices use Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. A MAC address is a 48-bit value entered as 12 hex‐ adecimal digits in upper, lower or mixed character case. Octets may be separated with colons for clarity. For example, "00b052000001", "00:b0:52:00:00:01" and "00b052:000001" are valid and equivalent. The following MAC addresses are special and may be entered by name instead of number. all Same as "broadcast". broadcast A synonym for the Ethernet broadcast address, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. All devices, whether local, remote or foreign recognize messages sent to this address. A remote device is any device at the far end of a powerline connection. A foreign device is any device not manufactured by Atheros. local A synonym for the Qualcomm Atheros vendor specific Local Management Address (LMA), 00:B0:52:00:00:01. All local Atheros devices recognize this address but remote and foreign devices do not. A remote device is any device at the far end of a powerline connection. A foreign device is any device not manufactured by Atheros. REFERENCES See the Qualcomm Atheros HomePlug AV Firmware Technical Reference Manual for more information. DISCLAIMER Atheros HomePlug AV Vendor Specific Management Message Entry structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros, Ocala FL USA. Consequently, public information may not be available. Qualcomm Atheros reserves the right to modify mes‐ sage structure and content in future firmware releases without any obligation to notify or compensate users of this pro‐ gram. EXAMPLES The following command lists all local devices because no device was specified. Because no devices are specified on the command line, a VS_SW_VER message is sent to 00:B0:52:00:00:01 and device responses are collected. As we can see, there is only one local device available at this time. Observe that the prompt appears immediately after the address because newlines are omitted by default. # int6klist 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04 # The next examples do the same thing but this time there are several local devicer available. # int6klist 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 00:B0:52:BA:BE:01 # int6k The next example queries the first local device from the previous example, 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04, for a list neighbor devices. This time a VS_NW_INFO message is sent because we named a device on the command line. The named device happens to be a local device but it need not be. We can see that the device has no neighbors. # int6klist 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04 # int6k The next example we query the next ocal device, 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02, and find that it has two neighbor devices that did not show up earlier because they are remote devices. Observe that the three devices comprise a complete logical powerline network. Device 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 is connected to the local host but 00:0F:33:F2:01:21 and 00:0f:00:F2:01:13 are con‐ nected to other hosts, somewhere. # int6klist 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 00:0F:33:F2:01:21 00:0F:00:F2:01:13 The next example shows that we can query multiple devices at a time for neighbors. We have copied the output from the second example and pasted it onto the command line. We now have a list of all devices, local and remote. # int6klist 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 00:B0:52:BA:BE:01 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04 00:B0:52:BA:BE:01 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 00:0F:33:F2:01:21 00:0F:00:F2:01:13 This next example does the same thing but uses option -n to append a newline after each query. This output is eaiser to understand because each device queried starts on a new line and is followed by any neighbors. # int6klist 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 00:B0:52:BA:BE:01 -n 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 00:0F:33:F2:01:21 00:0F:00:F2:01:13 00:B0:52:BA:BE:01 This example invokes int6klist which returns a list of local devices. That list is inserted into another int6klist com‐ mand line. This demontrates how program output can be used in scripts. # int6klist $(int6klist) -n 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 00:0F:33:F2:01:21 00:0F:00:F2:01:13 00:B0:52:BA:BE:01 This next example accomplishes the same thing since all local device respond with a list of powerline neighbors. # int6klist local 00:B0:52:BE:EF:04 00:B0:52:BA:BE:02 00:0F:33:F2:01:21 00:0F:00:F2:01:13 00:B0:52:BA:BE:01 SEE ALSO plc(1), int6krate(1), int6krule(1), int6ktone(1) CREDITS Charles Maier<EMAIL_ADDRESS>open-plc-utils-0.0.3 November 2013 int6klist(1)

Introduction of Invasive Species
Building on Animals Habitats
The Problem
The temperete grasslands cover over 8% of the world surface. They are found on every contenient,
but only 3.4% of them are protected.
Desertification
The process by which fertile land becomes desert.
- Global warming is changing rainfall patterns
- Row-crop agriculture is making all the soil in the grasslands unfertile because only one crop is planted and the soil nutrients are not replaced. Pests and disease spread easier when only one crop is present.
- The grassland habitat is being built on to make urban areas.
My Pitch
I am asking for $250,000 to help save the North American Great Plains
Wind Breaks
Some of the money would be used to buy and plant trees as wind breaks in order to help prevent
desertification. The trees would hold the soil together to prevent dust clouds from forming.
Education
Educate farmers on the benefits of crop rotation and returning nutrients to the soil.
When the farmers dig up the sod to plant it relases CO2 into the air trapping more greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere
Dry Season Burning
Restores nutrents like calcium to the soil and helps promote new growth.
Workers
The money will also be used to hire workers to implement these strategies.

I am currently studying Computer Science and Engineering as a second year undergraduate student at University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I have very good coding experience with java language as well as C language and also i have a good knowledge in using MySQL and desiging databases for systems too. In addition I also have experience in 3D modeling using 3D Studio Max. I love music and enjoy singing and playing guitar a lot.
Simply put, I am an exuberant person having a great passion towards exploring the world of Computer Science. I am determined in pursuing accomplishment of every task assigned to me to best level that I am capable of.
My self at the decade of GSoC event held at the University of Moratuwa
The result of about 2 months of learing and hardworking with the group. For me the whole project was a learning. And I guess we nailed it :D
This was done with a friend of mine in 2011, the year which I sat for the Advanced Level examination. Had to bear with a lot of hardships, lots of technical problems, tight time constraints and most of all the AL work load. Some how the final product came just the way we expected it to be.
One of the unforgettable times of my life, the leadership training program. Had lots of experiences and learnt a lot of life lessons. This was on the last day of the 2 weeks we spent there.
Some modelling I have done from 3D Studio Max
This was modeled and textured refering to a real house. Since only the model of the house is done background seen is just the environment setting
A model of a guitar


I was initally very excited to find 5-MeO-DALT, I thought it could be an interesting experience to be a ‘pioneer’ of a drug. The reports made this chemical seem friendly, and and fun, but this was not the case.
12mg
Nothing, absolutely no discernable effect.
22mg
This is where I got a taste of this mild psychedelic, however it was limited to a pleasurable tingle around my genitial.
34mg
Again, only a taste of erotic energy, and some hunger.
110mg
Very ridgid and clenched. Felt similar to muscular sensations of 2c’s. This dose was terribly intense, not in a pleasurable way, but yet its intensity was only relatively strong. Compared to other psychedelics, the entire experience was subtle and mild, with strong body sensations and erotic energy.
As a whole, this compound is uninteresting. I actually think it may have some therapeutic value as it is almost absent of classic psychedelic effects. I would be interested to hear if anyone has actually found this active at Shulgin’s dose, and enjoyed it.
Experience Reports are the writings and opinions of the individual authors who submit them.
Some of the activities described are dangerous and/or illegal and none are recommended by Erowid.

flibs/m_vfile - Processing files
The module m_vfile provides OO services to process files and directories. This component is based on a dynamic strings so that the file or directory name may be defined with no limit in the number of characters.
This component allows to manage the file system, by providing services to create, move and destroy files and directories, and to get informations about files and directories. The services provided are based either on standard fortran, or on fortran extensions.
One of the main interest of this component is to separate the client-side application from platform-specific file management or from compiler-specific fortran extensions.
This separation is possible because m_vfile deals for the platform directly, by using the m_platform module. This allows to design a client source code which portable on several operating systems (for example windows, linux) without any change. For example, the several file separators used on the various operating systems are taken into account internally : "/" on linux systems, "\" on windows systems and ":" on Mac OS.
The portability is also ensured with respect to the fortran compiler used to create the executable. All fortran compilers provide commands to rename the files or get the working directory. But not all fortran compilers define these commands the same way : some provide subroutines, some provide functions, etc... The current component can be configured at compile-time with pre-processing commands. This allows to configure the component with compiler specific settings, to make so that the component know what features your particular compiler knows about.
<your application> > m_vfile (operating system , fortran compiler) > m_platform (operating system , fortran compiler)
Before using the services provided by m_vfile, the client code must call vfile_startup which initializes platform-specific commands. After using these services, the client code should call vfile_shutdown.
The commands vfile_delete, vfile_copy, vfile_rename allow to delete, copy and rename files or directories. To inquire about a file or directory, one can use vfile_exists or vfile_isdirectory.
In the following example, one creates a new file with vfile_touch, rename that file and finally delete it.
call vfile_startup () call vstring_new ( file , "foo.txt" ) call vfile_touch ( file ) call vfile_rename ( file , "toto.txt" ) call vfile_delete ( file ) call vstring_free ( file ) call vfile_shutdown ()
The component makes no differences between file names and directory names, except for methods which are specific for file or for directory.
The vfile_separator method returns the platform-specific character used on the current operating system.
The commands vfile_nativename , vfile_normalize , vfile_pathtype provide ways to manage file names and paths. The vfile_nativename function returns the platform-specific name of the file. The vfile_pathtype command returns one of VFILE_PATHTYPE_ABSOLUTE, VFILE_PATHTYPE_RELATIVE, VFILE_PATHTYPE_VOLUMERELATIVE which correspond to the current file. The VFILE_PATHTYPE_VOLUMERELATIVE only exist on windows. The vfile_normalize command returns a unique normalized path representation for the file-system object (file, directory, link, etc), whose string value can be used as a unique identifier for it.
The vfile_split and vfile_join services allows to separate or concatenate the components of a file. This can be useful when dealing with relative file or directories. The vfile_split command splits a file into pieces each time the platform-specific separator is found. The vfile_join command concatenate a list of strings with the platform-specific separator and returns the concatenated file name.
In the following example, extracted from the unit tests included in flibs, the file "declaration.txt" is first normalized, so that the normalized dynamic string may have the value "/home/bill/flibs/tests/filedir/declaration.txt" under Windows or "C:/workbench/flibs/tests/filedir/declaration.txt" under Linux. Then the file name is split into a list of strings, for example "home", "bill", "flibs", "tests", "filedir", "declaration.txt". The number of strings in the list is then computed with the method vstrlist_length.
use m_vstring use m_vstringlist use m_vfile type ( t_vstring ) :: normalized type ( t_vstringlist ) :: listOfFiles integer :: numberOfStrings normalized = vfile_normalize ( "declaration.txt" ) listOfFiles = vfile_split ( normalized ) numberOfStrings = vstrlist_length ( listOfFiles )
One particularly useful command when dealing with files is vfile_findbypattern. The command takes a string as an input file pattern. It then computes the list of all files which match that pattern. The string matching system is based on the vstring_match method of the m_vstring module.
In the following example, extracted again from the unit tests of flibs, one computes the list of files in the directory "testfindbypattern" matching the pattern "*dec*.txt".
type ( t_vstringlist ) :: listOfFiles listOfFiles = vfile_findbypattern ( "testfindbypattern" , pattern = "*dec*.txt" )
The file management may raise errors, for example when the user want to rename a file which does not exist. Many of the provided commands have an optional integer output argument "status" which is zero when no error occurred and non-zero in case of error. If the status argument is not provided and an error is generated, then the program stops and a message is displayed on standard output. These are the public error flags that the current component may generate :
VFILE_ERROR_OK VFILE_ERROR_UNABLE_TO_OPEN_SOURCE VFILE_ERROR_UNABLE_TO_OPEN_TARGET VFILE_ERROR_UNABLE_TO_WRITE_TARGET VFILE_ERROR_SOURCE_FILE_DOES_NOT_EXIST
Several methods of this component are based on Fortran extensions, which requires compiler-specific settings. For Intel Fortran compiler, the current implementation was based on IFPORT.F90 file in the Intel release for details on the interfaces provided. If the client code use these routines, it must define the pre-processing macro _VFILE_INTEL_FORTRAN_PORTABILITY_ROUTINES
Depending on the compiler, the "RENAME" fortran extension is provided as a subroutine or a function. For example, this is a short list of compilers and their particular RENAME provided :
function : Intel Fortran, g95
subroutine : gfortran
To inform the m_vfile module of the particular RENAME extension, one of the following pre-processing macro must be defined :
_VFILE_RENAME_FUNCTION
_VFILE_RENAME_SUBROUTINE
The same situation happens with the GETCWD fortran extension. To inform the m_vfile module of the particular GETCWD extension, one of the following pre-processing macro must be defined :
_VFILE_GETCWD_FUNCTION
_VFILE_GETCWD_SUBROUTINE
The internal algorithms provided by m_vstrings are based on basic fortran character strings. In several situations, the dynamic vstring has to be converted into a basic fortran character buffer string, which size has to be given explicitly in the source code, with "character ( len = <something>)" statement. Two solutions are provided, and the user can define the pre-processing macro _VFILE_STATIC_BUFFER to configure that :
the first solution is to set the size of the buffer statically, to a constant integer value VSTRING_BUFFER_SIZE.
the second solution is to compute the size of the buffer dynamically, with the fortran 90 len = vstring_length(this) statement.
If the _VFILE_STATIC_BUFFER is defined, then character strings of constant size are used as buffers. If the _VFILE_STATIC_BUFFER is not defined (which is the default), then character strings of dynamic size are used as buffers. The second solution is more efficient, because the strings are not oversized or undersized, depending on the real number of characters in the dynamic string. But the feature may not be provided by the compiler at hand. For example, problems with the dynamic length character string have been experienced with Intel Fortran 8.
The following preprocessing macro must be considered :
_VFILE_STATIC_BUFFER : see the section "Dynamic or static buffer"
_VFILE_RENAME_FUNCTION or _VFILE_RENAME_SUBROUTINE : see the section "RENAME and GETCWD fortran extension"
_VFILE_GETCWD_FUNCTION or _VFILE_GETCWD_SUBROUTINE : see the section "RENAME and GETCWD fortran extension"
This is an abstract of all macros for several compilers.
Compiler : Intel Fortran V8.0
_VFILE_INTEL_FORTRAN_PORTABILITY_ROUTINES
_VFILE_RENAME_FUNCTION
_VFILE_STATIC_BUFFER
_VFILE_GETCWD_FUNCTION
Compiler : g95
_VFILE_RENAME_FUNCTION
_VFILE_GETCWD_FUNCTION
Compiler : gfortran
_VFILE_RENAME_SUBROUTINE
_VFILE_GETCWD_SUBROUTINE
Returns the name without the extension (if any), that is, The part of the name _before_ the last "." in filename or the whole name if no "." is present in filename. Example : if filename is "declaration.txt", the file root name is "declaration".
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns the extension (if any), that is the part of the name after and including the last "." or empty if none present. Example : if filename is "declaration.txt", the file extension is ".txt".
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns all of the characters in name after the last directory separator. If filename contains no separators then returns filename. Example : if filename is "dir1/declaration.txt", the file tail is "declaration.txt".
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Return the directory, that is, the part of the name before the last directory separator. Example : if filename is "dir1/declaration.txt", the directory name is "dir1".
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns the index of the first separator in the given filename or 0 if there is no separator in the given file name.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns the index of the last separator in the given filename or 0 if there is no separator in the given file name.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Join the current file with the given file name, using the platform-specific separator as the joining character. The result is always canonical for the current platform: / for Unix and Windows, and : for Macintosh. If a particular name is relative, then it will be joined to the previous file name argument. Otherwise, any earlier arguments will be discarded, and joining will proceed from the current argument.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Return a new file name with the given extension concatenated. If the given file name ends with a dot and the given extension begins with a dot, only one dot is kept. Note that the extension of one file begins with a dot : ".txt" is a file extension while "txt" is not.
Return the native separator for the current platform The separator depends on the platform :
"/" on Unix, Linux systems,
"\" on Windows systems,
":" on Macintosh.
Returns the name of the current directory by using the fortran extension GETCWD. The separator used here is the platform-independent "/".
Returns .true. if file name exists, .false. otherwise.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Renames the file ofdln to newfn by using the RENAME fortran extension. If status is supplied, it contains 0 on success or nonzero error code upon return.
Same as previous but with newfn as a character string.
Copy the ascii file ofdln to targetfn. If the source file does not exists, generates an error. If the target file allready exists and force option is undefined or defined to false, generates an error. If status is supplied, it contains 0 on success or nonzero error code upon return
status = 1 when one was unable to open the source file
status = 2 when one was unable to open the target file
status = 3 when there was a problem while writing the target file
status = 4 when the source file does not exist
If mode is not supplied or supplied and equals to "system", then the copy is made using an operating system command. If mode is supplied and equals to "ascii", then the copy is made using standard fortran. The force option is available only in "ascii" mode. If force is supplied and true, if the target file allready exists, delete it before making the copy. The trimline option is available only in "ascii" mode. If trimline is supplied and true, or not supplied, the lines of the file copy are trimmed. If trimline is supplied and false, the number of columns in the file copy are all of maximum possible length.
The "ascii" mode may not behave as expected :
The maximum number of columns in the source filename is 1000.
After execution, the target file is not an exact copy of the source file. Because of the fortran format used, all the lines of the target file are of length 1000 : blank spaces are appended at the end of the string.
Same as previous but with targetfn as a character string.
Removes the file or directory filename. Non-empty directories will be removed only if the force option is specified. If force is supplied and true, forces to delete the directory, even if it is empty. If force is not supplied or supplied and false, the directory is not deleted if it is empty. If status is supplied, it contains 0 on success or nonzero error code upon return.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns .true. if file name is a directory, .false. otherwise.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns .true. if file name is a file, .false. otherwise.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns .true. if file name is a file, .false. otherwise. Returns an integer giving the size of file name in bytes. If the file doesn't exist or its size cannot be queried then an error is generated. If status is supplied, it contains 0 on success or nonzero error code upon return.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns an integer representing the time at which file name was last accessed. If status is supplied, it contains 0 on success or nonzero error code upon return.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns an integer representing the time at which file name was last modified. If status is supplied, it contains 0 on success or nonzero error code upon return.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns a unique normalized path representation for the file-system object (file, directory, link, etc), whose string value can be used as a unique identifier for it. A normalized path is an absolute path which has all '../', './' removed. Also it is one which is in the ``standard'' format for the native platform. On Windows or Mac, any platform-specific separator in the path is replaced by the platform-independent separator "/". On Windows it also means we want the long form with that form's case-dependence (which gives us a unique, case-dependent path).
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
An implementation of the unix command find. Returns a list of files or directories which are located in the given basedir directory, and, recursively, in all sub-directories. Each file in the resulting list has a path relative to the given basedir directory. If basedir is provided, this is the name of the base directory into which the search is done. If basedir is not provided, the current directory is used by default.
Same as previous but with basedir as a character string.
interface function filtercmd ( filename ) result ( keepfile ) use m_vstring, only : t_vstring type ( t_vstring ), intent(in) :: filename logical :: keepfile end function filtercmd end interface
An implementation of the unix command find. Returns a list of files or directories which are located in the given basedir directory, and, recursively, in all sub-directories. Each file in the resulting list has a path relative to the given basedir directory. If basedir is provided, this is the name of the base directory into which the search is done. If basedir is not provided, the current directory is used by default. The filtercmd command, if provided, is interpreted as a command prefix and one argument is passed to it, the name of the file or directory find is currently looking at. Note that this name is not fully qualified. It has to be joined it with the result of pwd to get an absolute filename. The result of filtercmd is a boolean value that indicates if the current file should be included in the list of interesting files.
interface function filtercmd ( filename ) result ( keepfile ) use m_vstring, only : t_vstring type ( t_vstring ), intent(in) :: filename logical :: keepfile end function filtercmd end interface
Same as previous but with basedir as a character string.
Returns a list of files which match the given pattern. Internally, this command is based on vfile_find, with a particular filter command applied. If basedir is provided, this is the name of the base directory into which the search is done. If basedir is not provided, the current directory is used by default. The pattern is the pattern for the file names (like: *.f90) against which each file name is compared. The method used for string matching is vstring_match, so that all features available is vstring_match are available in vfile_findbypattern.
Same as previous but with basedir and pattern as a character string.
Returns a list of files in one directory. Only the file tails are in the list. If directory is provided, the directory into which the list is to be computed. If directory is not provided, the current directory is used and only the file names are file tails. If directory is provided, the computed files names are relative and begin with the given directory (following the template directory/filetail). If filetypes is provided, only list files or directories which match filetypes, with d (directory), f (plain file). If filetypes is not provided, the filetypes "d" , "f" list is used. If pattern is provided, only list files which match the given pattern. If pattern is not provided, the "*" pattern is used. The vstring_match command is used to compare the file against the pattern so that all the pattern types available in vstring_match are available in vfile_listfiles. If tails is provided and true, only return the part of each file found which follows the last directory named in directory. Thus the statement
listoffiles = vfile_listfile ( tails = .true. , directory = directory , pattern = "*" )
is equivalent to
call vfile_pwd ( cwd ) call vstrplatform_cd ( directory ) listoffiles = vfile_listfile ( tails = .true. , pattern = "*" ) call vstrplatform_cd ( cwd )
If tails is provided and false, or not provided, the files are left as specified by the directory argument.
Same as previous but with directory and pattern as a character string.
Returns a string giving the type of file name, which will be one of "file" or "directory". If status is provided and the file type could be computed, the status is set to 0. If status is provided and the file type could not be computed, the status is set to VFILE_ERROR_UNKNOWN_FILE_TYPE. If status is not provided and the file type could not be computed, an error is generated.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns a list of strings where elements are the path components in name.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Implementation of touch. Alter the atime and mtime of the specified files. If status is supplied, it contains 0 on success or nonzero error code upon return. If status is not provided and the process could not be done, an error is generated.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns one of VFILE_PATHTYPE_ABSOLUTE, VFILE_PATHTYPE_RELATIVE, VFILE_PATHTYPE_VOLUMERELATIVE. If filename refers to a specific file on a specific volume, the path type will be absolute. If filename refers to a file relative to the current working directory, then the path type will be relative. If name refers to a file relative to the current working directory on a specified volume, or to a specific file on the current working volume, then the path type is volumerelative.
Examples :
"." is relative on all platforms
".." is relative on all platforms
"/" is absolute on Linux/Unix
"C:/" is absolute on Windows (if the C:/ exists)
"/" is volumerelative on windows and refers to the current volume (for example C:/)
"toto.txt" is relative on all platforms
"./toto.txt" is relative on all platforms
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Returns the platform-specific name of the file. filename is useful if the filename is needed to pass to a platform-specific call, such as the execution of a system command under Windows or AppleScript on the Macintosh.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Create a directory. If status is supplied, it contains 0 on success or nonzero error code upon return. If status is not provided and the process could not be done, an error is generated.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Open a file and returns the unit associated with the opened file. The command is based on fortran intrinsic "open". If the optional argument fileunit is provided, it is used to open the file. If not provided, a file unit is automatically computed on the base of currently free logical units.
Note:
All the options of the intrinsic "open" are provided with the same behaviour and default values, with some exceptions.
The file name is mandatory in vfile_open, even if the "file=" specifier is not mandatory in fortran "open". This behaviour allows the fortran to manage a status="scratch" specifier, which provides a way to manage for temporary files internally. Instead, the m_vfile component provides the vfile_tempfile service.
The "err=" option with an error label as argument is not provided. The client code may use the iostat option instead.
Same as previous but with filename as a character string.
Initialize module internal state. This routine must be called once before calling any method of the module.
Shutdown module internal state.
Configure the behaviour of the component whenever an error is met. If stoponerror is true, then the execution stops if an error is encountered. If stoponerror is false, then the execution continues if an error is encountered. In both cases, a message is displayed on standard output.
Returns the temporary directory for the current platform. The command returns the path of a directory where the caller can place temporary files, such as "/tmp" on Unix systems. The algorithm we use to find the correct directory is as follows:
The directory named in the TMPDIR environment variable.
The directory named in the TEMP environment variable.
The directory named in the TMP environment variable.
A platform specific location:
Windows "C:\TEMP", "C:\TMP", "\TEMP", and "\TMP" are tried in that order. (classic) Macintosh The TRASH_FOLDER environment variable is used. filename is most likely not correct.
Unix The directories "/tmp", "/var/tmp", and "/usr/tmp" are tried in that order.
Returns the name of a temporary file name suitable for writing to. The tempfile name is unique, and the file will be writable and contained in the appropriate system specific temp directory.
Returns the absolute paths to the volumes mounted on the system, as a proper string list. On UNIX, the command will always return "/", since all filesystems are locally mounted. On Windows, it will return a list of the available local drives (e.g. {a:/ c:/}).
Note:
With Intel Fortran, the portability routines provide the "GETDRIVESQQ" function, which returns the list of current drive as a 26 letters string.

Link to the structural features of ATP synthase
Everything you do needs energy to drive it, whether it is running up a flight of stairs, eating breakfast, fighting off an infection, or even just producing new proteins for hair growth. The energy currency used by all cells from bacteria to man is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Every process within an organism – DNA and protein synthesis, muscle contraction, active transport of nutrients and ions, neural activity, maintenance of osmosis, carbon fixation – requires a source of ATP.
Why is ATP such a good source of energy? ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate (ribose sugar, adenine base and three phosphate groups), where a high-energy bond attaches the third phosphate group to the molecule. This bond is highly unstable, and when it is hydrolysed it releases a substantial amount of free energy (approximately 7 kcal/mole). In addition to providing energy, ATP has other essential roles within cells: it is one of the four nucleotides required for the synthesis of DNA (replication) and RNA (protein synthesis); it regulates certain biochemical pathways; in mammals it is released from damaged cells to elicit a pain response; and in photosynthetic organisms it drives carbon fixation. However, as it is unstable (cannot be stored for long) and is used for almost every conceivable process, each cell in the body must constantly produce ATP to supply its needs. In total, an organism’s requirement for ATP is substantial: the average human body generates over 100 kg of ATP per day. ATP synthase is the prime producer of ATP in cells, catalysing the combination of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) with inorganic phosphate to make ATP:
ADP + Pi ŕ ATP + H2O
ATP Synthase, an Early Enzyme
of Life
Because of its fundamental importance in sustaining life, organisms evolved ATP synthase (ATPase) early during evolution, making it one of the oldest of enzymes - even predating photosynthetic and respiratory enzyme machinery. As a result, ATPase has remained a highly conserved enzyme throughout all kingdoms of life: the ATPases found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and in the inner membranes of mitochondria in eukaryotes retain essentially the same structure and function as their enzymatic counterparts in the plasma membranes of bacteria. In particular, the subunits that are essential for catalysis show striking homology between species.
